“Just you? And you think you can seal me?” James roared and raised his hand. A nine-colored lightsaber shot into the sky, instantly manifesting countless light swords, each one resisting the suppressing Path characters.Seeing this, Emperor Tapia quickly spread his hands. Numerous universes at the top of the void descended rapidly, forming a dense, rotating light screen around James and Yianni.As more universes fell from the gray clouds, the rotating light screen began to stack layer by layer, creating a terrifying sight.Faced with this, the furious James snorted and launched tens of thousands of kicks. The blinding red-gold light manifested into countless flying kicks, abruptly shattering the freshly formed light screen.In the next moment, James split off another main self. He used the Terrastride Step and the Dawnblaze Form to charge at Emperor Tapia.Shocked by this ferocity, Emperor Tapia braced himself for another battle.Meanwhile, James’ other main self drove the Wuia D
At that moment, the fury and malevolence emanating from James dissipated significantly, and he gradually became calm. He shuddered when Wesley’s hand touched his forehead.“Sir Wesley!”“You are unyielding, unique, and possess a chivalrous heart. Why do you pursue the Path?” Wesley spoke earnestly, “You may be exhausted, but can the affairs of the Greater Realms be dismissed so easily?“One’s words and actions shape karma. Karma determines calamity. Calamity determines success and failure. Success and failure determine fortune and misfortune. The myriad beings of Haleth Realm are not possessions, nor are they slaves. Their destiny cannot be solely dictated by fate or constrained by laws and Daoism.“This is the decree of the Law of Paths and should be the standard for Haleth Realm. Your comprehension of Daoism surpasses grand ambitions and even the Law of Paths itself. It should shine eternally at the pinnacle of the firmament.”Hearing Wesley’s heartfelt words, James slowly close
At this moment, Thea gently reached out and cradled James’ face. She had already received the transmission from Wesley, so she knew everything even though she lay unconscious. Not only did she know that James had fallen into a demonic path, but she also understood what his current state meant for the entire Haleth Realm.“Do you fear being deceived by the whole world? Or do you fear that I might deceive you?” Thea asked softly.James was taken aback, then shook his head. “You wouldn’t.”Thea once again revealed a trace of a poignant smile. “If I were to deceive you one day, it would only be for your own good. It’s out of absolute necessity.”James nodded solemnly.“In sorrow and in joy, weddings need not be tearful. I wish to be with you forever and never to part!” Thea slowly recited these words.Then, she suddenly transformed into a streak of light and immediately merged with James’ main self.“Darling!” James exclaimed.The next moment, Thea’s voice echoed from the void.“T
Before the Xyrisia Gate in the Jawdat Region, a stunning figure appeared with great difficulty, her body stained with blood. She suddenly halted when confronting the frantic whirl of a million Bohnwer Light gas ahead. She knew well that rushing in heedlessly held a high chance of her vanishing completely, as if she had never existed in this world. It was a gamble as dangerous as a moth to flame, a choice between life and death.This figure was Lesia, the one who found herself faced with a momentous decision after James fell into a demonic path.“For you, Master, I fear nothing.”Swallowing hard, Lesia clenched her fists as she stared at the swirling Xyrisia Gate ahead. However, a grumbling voice came from behind just as she prepared to charge forward.“Quintus, is Quentyn’s planned route reliable? Can the Jawdat Region directly reach the Wuia Palace? We’ve traversed nearly all the Path Sects, so why are we still stuck here?”At these words, Lesia immediately darted behind a stone
As these words were spoken, Emperor Qadeer and Quintus bowed respectfully. The mention of the possibility that the supreme god might emerge from within the Xyrisia Gate caused their hearts to skip a beat. If that were the case, it could be a life-and-death calamity. Fortunately, they had refrained from any disrespect earlier. Perhaps they could turn this crisis into an opportunity.They had been intimidated by Lesia’s bluff. Lesia herself flashed with a golden-purple light that immediately masked her bloody appearance. Then, she appraised Emperor Qadeer and Quintus.“You are Xanthakos Qadeer, one of the five disciples under Waitara Path, ranked among the Path Emperor?”At this, Emperor Qadeer smiled faintly and straightened up. “Yes, Nothingness God. We meant no offense, we only wished...”Lesia interrupted Emperor Qadeer, asking calmly, “Did you only wish to find the Wuia Palace, seize the Path Designation Bead, and claim dominion over Haleth Realm?”At her words, Emperor Qadeer
At the Summit of Leere, a vast expanse of black-and-white gas pervaded the air. At this highest peak, a stunning goddess clad in a snow-white robe sat serenely with crossed legs.Her long hair flowed elegantly, her lips were ruby-red, her features delicate and captivating, untouched by any makeup or embellishment. She appeared as if crafted by nature itself in its purest form. Her beauty was breathtaking, almost forbidding any impure thoughts, while her demeanor outshone even the most divine goddesses.She was Frona Dhimer, the leader of the Nine Caeloros Gods.At this moment, she had long seen everything in Haleth Realm. Yet, she remained as calm and unmoved as a lifelike sculpture.Suddenly, a beam of light pierced through the gloomy void, instantly materializing into a middle-aged handsome man in a red robe with crimson hair. He stared at the tranquil Frona with a slight furrow of his brow.“You may disregard James, but do you also neglect your Soremsia?”His tone was furious
His comments left the Caeloros Gods at a loss for words.The gray-haired elderly man snorted. “Xristian, judging by your long-winded speech, you still insist on placing our hopes in James Caden?”“Of course!” Xristian jutted his chin up. “I still believe that the tenth Leere Daoism isn’t a failure.”“Hahaha!” The man in the green robe laughed mockingly.“Someone stubbornly refuses to admit the truth even at this point.“They’re putting the entire Xanadu Realm at risk just to hold onto the Caeloros Supreme’s position and save face. How shameless!”“Quintinus, I’ll be frank.” Xristian pointed at the man. “Those of you who wish to claim the Caeloros Supreme’s position will have to step over my dead body first.”In an instant, he teleported and re-emerged before Quintinus Qrandell, the man in the green robe.Quintinus didn’t back away. Instead, he balled his fists and took a fighting stance.Meanwhile, the gray-haired elderly man and Yefrenes darted toward the pair, excited and re
Despite knowing that some of them had hidden agendas, Frona did not lose her temper.Boom!On the other hand, Xristian stamped his feet, sending violent tremors through the Summit of Leere.“The Caeloros Supreme’s words are absolute! How dare you…”“I give you my word,” Frona interrupted. “I’m willing to put my position as the Caeloros Supreme at stake. I assure you that James will eliminate his inner demon and return to the right path.”The Caeloros Gods wore expressions of bewilderment upon hearing those words.Xristian tried to object, “Caeloros Supreme, this is…”Frona signaled him to stop and looked at the others. “Everyone, is that a good enough reason?”Most of the Caeloros Gods exchanged glances but kept silent.Meanwhile, Yefrenes cast a brief gaze at the gray-haired elderly man and Quintinus. Then, she smiled at Frona. “We have no more objections since you’re even willing to make a promise like that, Caeloros Supreme. However, I think we need to set a time limit…”“
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
