She looked at the groggy James, pointed at the wheelchair, and said, “Get on.”James was amused and laughed. “Seriously? You’re exaggerating my condition. I can still walk.”Quincy said sternly, “Don’t be stubborn. Get on right now. The doctor said that your condition is an unprecedented one. You shouldn’t move around unless absolutely necessary. The virus in your body is constantly absorbing your energy. Thus, the more you move, the more active the virus cells.”James nodded. The doctor’s statement was similar to his conjecture.He sat up from the bed.Quincy quickly walked over and supported him onto the wheelchair. Then, she pushed James out of the hospital.Outside the hospital…Quincy asked, “Where are you off to?”James scanned the bustling city. He was perplexed.He felt that the city had no place for him, despite how large it was.James sighed and replied, “Let’s find a hotel for now, and we’ll return to Cansington after a few days.”“Alright.”Quincy knew that Jame
After playing with the Crucifier for a while, James casually threw it on the table and took out his phone to check the time.It was already midnight.He had dinner at eight o’clock but was starving again. So, James took out his phone and sent a message to Quincy, who was in the next room.[I’m hungry.]A few seconds after sending the message, his room door was pushed open.Quincy walked in wearing pajamas. Her white pajamas were slightly see-through, and her naked body was vaguely visible, giving off an incredibly seductive aura. Her hair was still wet after having just taken a shower.“What do you want? I’ll order food delivery.”“Meat,” James replied.Since he was poisoned, James had an intense craving for food, especially meat.“Alright.”Quincy took out her phone and started ordering food delivery for him. After ordering the food, she sat down and glanced at the scattered needles on the table. “What are these for?” she asked.“Nothing.”James picked up a needle and ta
Everyone was stunned.“Prison break?”“James, what’s the purpose of this prison break?”Everyone glanced at James in confusion.James looked at James and asked, “You grew up in the Dark Castle and were once an SSS-ranked assassin, right? I’m assuming that you know the founder is Blake, correct?”“Yeah.”May nodded. Hearing Blake’s name mentioned, her face immediately became grim, saying, “I’ve got a vague understanding of him. Blake relied on vicious and ruthless methods to achieve his goals. Those who disobeyed or betrayed him met gruesome deaths. Ultimately, he was captured a few years ago.”After the explanation, she looked at James in disbelief. “James, could it be you’re trying to save him?”James nodded and confirmed her thoughts, “Precisely. I need to save him. I was poisoned, and he immediately identified it as Gu. He claimed to know how to detoxify the venom and would help me. In exchange, he wanted to be set free.”Everyone listened silently.James explained, “Three
The night passed silently.The next day…Gloom arrived early in the morning.In the room.James and Gloom discussed the details of their mission for a while.He wanted Gloom to arrange the Elite Eight into the Red Flame army and get them stationed at the prison entrance.The Red Flame army was responsible for the Capital’s safety.A soldier had to go through multiple reviews before finally being assessed by the Red Flame army’s General. Only after a series of assessments would one be accepted as an official member.Gloom was the King’s personal bodyguard but did not have a military rank and stayed in the shadows. Despite that, he was in great authority. He was basically the representative of the King. It would not be challenging for him to arrange May and the others into the Red Flame army. In fact, it could even be said to be a cinch for him. “Alright, leave it to me.”Gloom nodded. He glanced at the feeble James and said, “You’ll have to be cautious after this. The Emper
“Understood.” May nodded and quickly headed out.James was feeling drained and leaned back in the bed.He was lost in his thoughts.Suddenly, Quincy approached and climbed on the bed. She massaged James’ legs with a worried expression on her pretty face. “You’re already exhausted but still doing so many things. You should be resting.”James snapped out of his thoughts and waved his hands, saying, “Alright, that’s enough. It’s stuffy in the hotel. Could you push me out for some fresh air?”“Okay.” Quincy nodded. “Give me a few minutes. I need to change my outfit.”She hurriedly left and went back to her room to change.She changed into a dress and tied up her hair. In an instant, she transformed into a mature and noble-like woman. Afterward, she pushed James out of the hotel.It was morning.The autumn breeze was chilly as it brushed against their skin.“James, where do you want to go?”James leaned back in the wheelchair and watched the pedestrians moving along the streets
James deliberately met with the Emperor to test the waters.The Emperor had a strong reaction to his words.James had a conjecture about the Emperor’s motives. He must have a close relationship with the Gu raisers. Additionally, there was a secret research facility in Cansington, Lily City. Even Jake’s intelligence network was unable to penetrate it.James had a rough guess that this research facility was related to parasitic venom.“Let’s look around,” James instructed Quincy.“Okay.” Quincy nodded and pushed James to look around the city.The Emperor got into the vehicle, and the driver immediately drove off.He sat in the back row with a grim expression. He never expected James to be so sharp and piece the puzzle together just by being poisoned.This was a hundred years ago history that was long forgotten.Most who knew about those secrets were long dead. How was it possible for James to find out?James was already a crippled man.Still, James' unexpected visit made him a
After he was stuffed, he laid back in bed and rested as Quincy cleaned up the mess.For the rest of the day, he stayed in the hotel.It was boring in the hotel, but Quincy made it tolerable and fun with her jokes.Time passed by quickly.Soon, the day of their mission arrived.Night time.James stood on the balcony and looked at the brightly lit city before him.Quincy approached him with an oversized coat and covered him as she reminded him, “It’s autumn, and the weather is getting chillier. With your current condition, you shouldn’t catch a cold. The doctor warned that it’ll be dangerous for you to get sick.”James enjoyed the night city view.“Look, the Capital is mesmerizing at night.”“I can’t believe you’re still in the mood to be sentimental. Your men are going to be springing into action tonight. If they fail, it’ll be a death penalty.”“I’ve done what I could. Everything else is up to fate,” James murmured.He looked in the direction of the General Assembly Hall an
Blake swallowed the poison that James made.James knew Blake was overpowering, and it would be a disaster if he was unrestrained after breaking him out of prison.He despised doing things with uncertainty.If he was to rescue Blake, then the latter’s life had to be in his control.This time, James had a thorough plan and a clear division of tasks.Some would use routine daily inspections to infiltrate the prison, while others would be responsible for tripping the power to shut down the surveillance cameras temporarily.Soon, May brought Blake to the place where the other Red Flame army soldiers were knocked unconscious.May pointed at the unconscious soldiers lying on the ground and instructed, “Take off one of their clothes and wear it. Act quickly.”Blake remained silent and obediently undressed one of the soldiers and quickly put on the robe.“Let’s go.”They quickly evacuated from the prison.At this moment, the electricity had been restored.However, the surveillance cam
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
