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
After a tense moment, Yukha and Xabat cautiously approached James, uncertain of how to broach the topic.James suddenly asked, “You’ve gained insight, haven’t you?”Yukha and Xabat exchanged glances and both knelt simultaneously.James said emotionally, “The Daeclon Mahayana we once aspired to achieve seems so insignificant now. The arrogant Tai Chi of the Haleth Realm that was once revered by many isn’t that invincible either.”With that said, James turned around, reached out to help the two women to their feet, and then shifted his gaze to Marci.Facing her, he hesitated between calling her Marci or Quincy. Perhaps Quincy was merely Marci’s Soremsia that had descended to the Greater Realms.Suddenly, Marci declared, “I don’t want to! I admit defeat and surrender the position of the Supreme Path. I will not stand in your way. Please, I can’t endure such humiliation.”Her words were followed by uncontrollable sobbing as she collapsed into the void, appearing utterly pitiful.Ja
Xabat, who was standing aside, chipped in, “You turned Yehria back into a fish.”Light Thea stuttered, “I…”Before she could finish speaking, James reached out and grasped the void. Instantly, the Delmuna’s void cracked open, and a vast surge of Virtuous Aura burst forth, creating a large opening that led into another space.The women present were stunned by this sight.Light Thea exclaimed excitedly, “That’s Tohmuna! We finally found it!”She turned to James with anticipation and said eagerly, “There’s a Mystic Pearl in Tohmuna. Once obtained, we’ll have complete control over the Gate of Mystery. Escaping this place would be effortless."Yukha and Xabat could not help but show joy on their faces upon hearing this news. However, Marci did not dare to express her emotions.Meanwhile, James maintained his calm demeanor.Finding the Tohmuna was significant, but relatively speaking, capturing Delmuna was the more crucial step. Now that they had control over Delmuna, seizing the Toh
Light Thea looked at James and asked, “What do you think?”Everyone looked at James with expectant eyes.James understood they were eager to leave. Having achieved the Daeclon Mahayana, their long-held dream, they wanted to venture out and test out their strength. At the same time, he also knew they might have other motives.Seeing their looks of anticipation, James asked smilingly, “Do you all want to go?”Yukha, Xabat, and Marci nodded simultaneously, whereas Light Thea seemed a bit hesitant.James ordered solemnly, “I’m worried about Thea leaving the Gate of Mystery. Marci and Xabat shall test it out for us.”Yukha exclaimed, “Master…”“Obey the order,” James cut her off, his tone leaving no room for argument.Yukha sighed, her beautiful face showing resignation.After that, James turned to Light Thea and gave her instructions.“Remember, Xanthakos is no ordinary person. If you are discovered or exposed, return to the Delmuna immediately.”Light Thea looked at James with
In contrast to Xabat’s excitement, this red-haired James was indifferent, and his handsome face was filled with malevolent intent.Realizing that things were strange, Xabat took a few steps back nervously and asked, “Who are you?”The red-haired James laughed, “You really don’t recognize me?”Xabat raised her head and asked, “Are…are you not James?”“James? He sure does have a great charm and influence throughout the Greater Realms. He has quite a lot of relationships, doesn’t he?”“It’s a pity you’re not the Chosen One. Otherwise, I would have considered sparing you.”As soon as these words came out, Xabat immediately summoned a light shield around her.“Who are you? This is James’ Gate of Anonymous. You can’t just…”Before she could finish speaking, the red-haired James reached out and grabbed the void, instantly shattering the light shield.Xabat quickly transformed into a light beam and fled from the spot.After failing to capture her, the red-haired James laughed, “Haha!
James seemed calm and composed, chuckling at the sight.“Waitara Path's soul spirit, let’s watch a good show first to see whether the Alcide being, the Chosen One, whom you have appointed, is so loyal to you.”Waitara Path's soul spirit suddenly widened his eyes and saw that in the huge projection, Marci suddenly stopped moving and looked forward in a vigilant posture.Then, another James appeared in the picture, identical to Waitara Path’s soul spirit.Seeing this, Waitara Path’s soul spirit suddenly became anxious. He asked, “How? How do you have two bodies? That’s impossible.”“But you’ve witnessed it with your own two eyes,” James shrugged and said, “Now, be quiet. You’re an audience, so pay close attention.”The Waitara Path’s soul spirit was rendered speechless.Within the projection, Marci took a few steps back and adopted a defensive posture when faced with the red-haired James, who had rushed toward her.“How dare you not kneel before me, Chosen One.”Marci asked in s
As Waitara Path’s soul spirit looked at the millions of colorful lights in the projection and listened to Marci’s wild laughter, his smug demeanor quickly vanished. His cheeks twitched in embarrassment, which soon turned into rage.“Traitors, rebels, all of you!” he roared, smashing the huge projection created by James with his fist, causing the entire Gate of Anonymous to tremble.In contrast to Waitara Path’s soul spirit’s anger, James shrugged innocently and said, “This is unbearable to watch. Marci didn’t even hesitate. She deserves to be punished.”The Waitara Path’s soul spirit growled, “Don’t gloat, James! If it were you, they would do the same to you.”Just as he finished speaking, a Sword Light pierced through his body and landed beside James, transforming into a beautiful woman.The Waitara Path’s soul spirit looked at his pierced body and then at the woman in disbelief. “You…”James patted the woman’s head and said, “Let me introduce her. This used to be one of Yehria’
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
