Goyo whimpered tremblingly, “I… I don’t understand.”Taiyi asked, “Do you think you survived so long because of your own ability? Do you think James can’t kill you?”Goyo was rendered speechless.Taiyi reprimanded, “It’s not that he can’t kill you. He just doesn’t want to yet and has been deliberately letting you escape.“He knows very well that you will try to escape into my Daonus Realm and it would give him an excuse to attack."Goyo raised his head abruptly and asked, “Are you also afraid of him?”Taiyi said helplessly, “It has nothing to do with fear. I simply can’t have a conflict with him before the Waitara Path returns.”Goyo shouted, “Why?!! You’re an Alcide being…”Bang!A sudden crisp sound, a beam of light shot out from the black and white gas mass, knocking Goyo to the ground.Goyo coughed up blood and climbed to his feet whilst clenching his chest. He looked at Taiyi in disbelief.Taiyi hissed, “You stubborn fool! At a crucial time like this, why are you still
James narrowed his eyes slightly and raised one hand. Suddenly, a gigantic, nine-colored lightsaber appeared behind him, spinning rapidly and emitting a dazzling array of lights.The Sword Lights that once filled the sky above the entire Goyo Daonus Realm were quickly absorbed, releasing a fierce Murderous Energy that spread rapidly.Boom!The Murderous Energy clashed violently with the light emitting from the black-and-white gas mass, causing a terrifying explosion.The surroundings trembled, and countless universes suddenly gathered and swirled around the black and white gas mass, quickly blocking the Murderous Energy.James quickly pointed his fingers forward, and the huge nine-colored lightsaber transformed into nine divine swords of different colors. They shot toward the black-and-white gas mass in a swift motion.A series of deafening rumbles resounded as the divine swords clashed with the universes surrounding the gas mass. However, as the swords approached, they were bloc
James also looked at the black and white gas mass, his handsome face full of vigilance.Taiyi sighed and said calmly, “Seeing is believing. This child is indeed an anomaly.”As she spoke, a dazzling pearl flew out from the gas mass, buzzing as it slowly approached James.James frowned at the sight.Taiyi explained, “This is the Taiyi Pearl you need. Whether you use it to integrate your Five Spirits or enter the Gate of Wuia is up to you.”Faced with this unexpected turn of events, James glanced at Wesley, who smiled and nodded, urging him to take it.James was startled, as his carefully laid out plans had gone to waste.His original plan was to use the escaped Goyo and Stavros as an excuse to storm into the Taiyi Daonus Realm and seize the Taiyi Pearl. By doing so, he could integrate his Five Spirits and open the passage to the Gate of Wuia to intercept Xanthakos.He was completely caught off guard that Taiyi was willingly handing it over.It was like being handed a treasure h
James looked at Wesley perplexedly.Wesley nodded in approval. Then, he sighed and said, “Goyo is completely different from other Alcide beings. He was created from the Historial Daoism, and you can consider him as the Waitara Path’s defender. More importantly, he is the Waitara Path’s first successor.“Once he merges with the Waitara Path’s soul spirit, he would instantly gain half of the Waitara Path’s strength. If that were to happen, nobody in the Haleth Realm would stand a chance against him, not you, nor Xanthakos."Seeing that James was indifferent, Wesley patted his shoulder and said, “I know that you have entered the Zenthur Rank, and your strength is extraordinary. In the Forty-Ninth Heaven, you can almost take on anybody. However, you are not invincible.”James raised his eyebrows at this.Wesley said earnestly, “Don’t be unwilling to accept the truth. You just fought with Taiyi and proved to be on par with her. However, compared with the Waitara Path…”James asked, “I
James sighed and said, “Goyo used the Pantheon Nexus on her and my friends.”Wesley abruptly turned to Taiyi upon hearing James’ words. He exclaimed, “Goyo must have gone to the Infernal Prison. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to obtain the Pantheon Nexus.”Taiyi remained silent but slowly reached out her arm. A black-and-white force instantly shot toward Thea, who was surrounded by Anonymous Gas.The black-and-white force gradually thickened and replaced the Anonymous Gas, then engulfed Thea.After a while, Taiyi trembled uncontrollably and retreated a few steps. She withdrew her force and spat out a mouthful of blood.Wesley hurried forward to support her, “Are you okay?”James was also stunned for a moment, watching them puzzledly.Taiyi took a deep breath and said, “The Cursed Smoke is too powerful. It seems that it will take a long time to cure her.”Turning to James, she added, “Leave her with me. Take the Divine Pearl and do what you need to first.”James was taken aback
The powerhouses present exchanged looks of disbelief, each rendered speechless.He had just wiped out the Forty-Ninth Heaven’s powerhouses above the Historial Daeclon Rank that gathered here just moments ago. Other powerhouses were likely hiding within the Taiyi Daonus Realm. As for below the Forty-Ninth Heaven, there probably are not many left.After pondering for a while, Marius hesitantly stepped forward and said, “There are still a few powerhouses in the Wyrmscale Source. Should we let them manage some of the Daonus Realms for now?”James’ brows furrowed at his words.Marius added bitterly, “There isn’t anyone left. You killed all of them just now.”Embarrassed, James replied awkwardly, “Uhh…okay. Then, you go ahead and make arrangements. Execute anybody who defies orders.”Marius immediately left to complete his mission.James sat down on a nearby rock and said, “Gather over here. We need to discuss our next steps.”The powerhouses glanced at each other and then sat down i
James’ main self of Path sat in a cross-legged position within the Gate of Mystery’s Delmuna. He had remained motionless, akin to a statue, as he bathed in a murky mist.At that moment, his fingers moved gently and the mist around him fluctuated. Suddenly, his eyes opened and two beams of Virtuous Aura shot out.The surroundings trembled violently, and the murky mist rapidly cleared.As soon as visibility was restored in the area, a dazzling pearl flew past him, emitting a buzzing sound.“It’s the Eclipse Pearl! Quick, grab it! That’s the core of Delmuna! If you capture it, you’ll be able to control half of the Gate of Mystery.”A female voice resounded, offering quick advice.After a momentary daze, James instantly reached out and grabbed the pearl before it left the area.The Eclipse Pearl rotated within James’ palm, releasing an even more blinding light as if using all its strength in an attempt to break free.“Interesting.”James stared at it, then urged some Virtuous Aura
James was certain Yehria had other intentions. Unfortunately, he could not eliminate her yet because his wife had yet to merge with her other half.At that moment, the Eclipse Pearl in James’ hand erupted with dazzling light once more, thrashing about violently.Seeing this, Yehria hurriedly interjected, “Yang represents the Heavens, Yin represents the Earth. Using Virtuous Aura can only temporarily suppress the Eclipse Pearl. To control it, you will need someone with an Ultimate Yin body type to swallow it and cultivate it with you through…”Her words trailed off as James gave her a hostile look.The other women blushed and lowered their heads.“Swallow it.” James handed the Eclipse Pearl to Light Thea.Light Thea asked confusedly, “Me?”James asked irritatedly, “You’re my wife’s other half. Would you rather I give it to someone else with ulterior motives?”Light Thea cast a glance at the embarrassed Yehria, then quickly swallowed the Eclipse Pearl.Suddenly, a brilliant ligh
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
