In the Taichu Daonus Realm, within Taichu Temple, Taichu sat serenely on a cushion dressed in a pristine white robe. Below her, eight Great War Saints delivered reports, updating her on the ongoing battles in the Forty-Ninth Heaven. At this point, she had developed a thorough grasp of the situation on the battlefield.After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly said, “Does any of you know where Goyo is?”The War Saints exchanged glances, then simultaneously shook their heads.Taichu sighed lightly, a tinge of regret in her expression. “He is the esteemed leader of the Path Emperors, the strongest of the Greater Realms. He couldn’t have really been killed by a bunch of small fries, right?”As soon as she finished speaking, a beam of purple-gold light suddenly shot into the hall, instantly transforming into a divine being with a stunning appearance, kneeling on one knee.“Reporting! We’ve acquired news that Lord Goyo has reappeared and has retaken the Goyoan Temple, clearing out t
Yulia asserted confidently, “It must be James! Besides him, nobody else could do something so absurd and unreasonable.”Stavros’ eyes widened in disbelief. “James? Has he gone mad? How could he send Lord Goyo on an errand run?”Cosimeon looked at Stavros and said, “It’s quite possible. After all, he does have a very extraordinary background.”Stavros retorted, “Even so, he can’t just order Lord Goyo…”Taichu finally snapped back to reality and said, “You’re right. It’s James. He asked me to contact you three and gather at the Goyoan Temple at once.Stavros’ jaw immediately dropped at the confirmation. He could not believe his former nemesis in the Dark world had grown to such terrifying heights.Goyo wielded the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword’s Upper Three Swords and was capable of influencing the fate of divine beings. Yet, he was dispatched as a messenger. He was puzzled and pondered on whether Goyo had submitted to James. If so, what were they, who were far inferior to Goyo, even worth?In
In the Goyoan Temple of the Forty-Ninth Heaven, under the lead of Taichu and the Three Path Emperors, they arrived outside James’ temple. Suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks.On the way, Goyo was silent. He didn’t say anything. Due to that, their uneasiness grew.No one knew how powerful James was now, what he wanted to do, why he gathered several powerhouses, or what did he want to take.“What’s wrong?” Goyo looked at them and asked, confused.“Lord Goyo!” Stavros frowned. “Don’t you think the Goyoan Temple is a bit too quiet?”Cosimeon quickly nodded. “The atmosphere is different. It feels eerie.”Goyo had a strange smile. “The place has just been wiped out. The souls of countless Alcide beings haven’t dispersed entirely. What kind of atmosphere do you want?”At that, Stavros and Cosimeon exchanged glances. Both of them shuddered.Right then, a man’s angry roar came from inside. “Hey, what is that?”Upon hearing that, everyone outside was taken aback.“It’s a rocket
Taichu and the Three Path Emperors looked at each other before smiling at James awkwardly.James and Thea weren’t how they used to be. They could make the world tremble while playing chess. Of course, Taichu and the Three Emperors needed to forgive them.“Stavros.” With a smile, James walked over to Stavros. “Ever since we parted ways in the Fortieth Heaven, we haven’t seen each other. You’re really blessed.”Stavros didn’t know what to say. Feeling a bit awkward, he said, “I was defeated. How can I speak bravely? On the other hand, you’re different from what you used to be. The Supreme Path is far beyond our reach.”“Hey, you can’t say that.” James patted Stavros on the shoulder. “If we didn’t fight, we wouldn’t know each other. Besides, you’re a great opponent.”When Stavros was about to speak, Thea who was behind James turned into an amethyst-gold Sword Light and flew over.When Stavros saw the terrifying Sword Light, his eyes widened and his expression changed.Goyo, Taichu,
“You’re indeed the smartest one out of the Five Path Emperors.” With a smile, James glanced at Stavros. Then, he said in a low voice, “That’s right. What Stavros said is right.”Upon hearing that, Yiulia frowned. “Xanthakos’ forces won’t listen to us…”“We’ll kill then!” Thea suddenly spoke up. “We’ll kill them until they listen to us.”Everyone was stunned. They knew that in Xanthakos’ faction, most were living beings. On the other hand, James was the ruler of all living beings. Could he kill a living being?James waved his hand. A large screen appeared, exuding bright lights.Then, the Nine Daonus Realms of the Forty-Ninth Heaven as well as the forces distribution map appeared on the screen.“Look here!” James narrowed his eyes slightly. “This is the current state of the Forty-Ninth Heaven.”“Xanthakos’ faction has been divided into five armies in different routes—northern, southern, eastern, western, and central. They are attacking the Goyo Daonus Realm from five directions.”
“I’ll leave Emperor Zenithal to you?” James pointed at Cosimeon.“No problem.” Cosimeon nodded.Then, James turned around and looked at Yiulia. He had a complicated gaze.“Your situation is a bit more complicated. Aside from Emperor Marvel, you have to deal with the Jaldice Divine Army of Ten Billion Warriors. You can’t deal with them alone. Let Thea help you.”“No need.” Yiulia shook her head. “I can do it alone—”“Do you dislike me or do you not want to be in a team with me?” Thea cut off Yiulia.Taken aback, Yiulia sighed. “You can come with me if you want to. No one will stop you.”It was obvious that Yiulia still held grudges against Thea.At this time, Goyo asked, “James, although I lost to you, I should have a task too.”“Of course.” James glanced at Goyo. “You’re the leader of the Five Path Emperors and are leading this war. You can just take care of your disciples and Alcide beings.”Goyo was taken aback. As if he had understood something, he nodded.Watching Goyo’s
At this moment, in the Xalvador Temple of the Terythor Universe, as the commander of the Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors, Dorvus felt uneasy. The gods of the Four Seasons walked back and forth. They were anxious.“What’s going on?” Dorvus clenched his fists. Furiously, he asked, “In an instant, Taichu, Yiulia, Cosimeon and Stavros Daonus Realms have changed to Goyo’s side. There must be a scheme.”“Where’s James? Isn’t he the supreme commander? Even the Wyrmscale Source has turned against him. Does he deserve the Emperor’s trust?”Upon hearing that, the gods of the Four Seasons exchanged glances. They became silent. What else could they say now?The Marauder Token that summoned the Marauder Army of One Hundred Thousand Warriors had been taken by James. Besides, the large number of Alcide beings who had rebelled from Goyo’s faction had turned against James. They had become a commander without an army.“No, we can’t go on like this.” Dorvus raised his head and shouted
On the other hand, Harper turned into a beam of light. She pierced through Dorvus’ body, leaving a huge bloody hole.“How dare you bark at him? Who do you think you are?”A beam of light flashed by. Harper immediately appeared behind Dorvus. At this time, Dorvus was frozen in place as if he was petrified. It was as if his soul was stolen.In the near distance, the gods of the Four Seasons knelt on the ground. They were trembling in fear. They dared not take a breath.A while later, Dorvus returned to his senses. He raised his head. “James, it seems that you really want to be the Emperor’s enemy.”“So?” James asked.Dorvus burst into laughter. “The Emperor is truly wise. He knew that you were unreliable, so he made a backup plan.”Then, he suddenly waved his hand. A dazzling token appeared in his hand.After that, the token flashed. Suddenly, the entire Xalvador Temple shook. It was as if a catastrophe was coming.Upon seeing that scene, Harper turned around. “Wasn’t the Mara
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
