Suddenly, a loud sound echoed as the Demon-Slayer Sword struck a cyclone, spreading toward Dillon. It was as if it had hit a solid rock and could no longer move forward.Seeing this, James clenched his fists.Since its merging, the Demon-Slayer Sword had always been unbeatable and formidable, killing all divine beings with a single slash.But now, facing Dillon, it was completely blocked. This indicated that his strength far surpassed that of Taiyi and Tapia.“Not bad,” Dillon smiled and said. “You managed to obtain the Demon-Slayer Sword, but from what I know, it was already taken by Goyo, who is Waitara’s disciple. Could it be that you caused Goyo’s fall too?”James ignored his words and pushed his palm forward. Another black-white-amethyst-gold light headed straight to the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword.In an instant, with the buzzing sound of the sword, the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword seemed to gain new power and struck at lightning speed again.With the sound of an explosion, the cyc
As soon as James said that, Dillon’s voice sounded from behind. “Let’s not fight anymore. We don’t have any grudges against each other, so why did you attack me? I’m exhausted. Let’s stop.”James turned around and pushed out his palm. There was a loud sound. Dillon, who had just appeared, was engulfed by the palm.However, the explosion James anticipated didn’t happen. On the contrary, after the wave dissipated, Dillon stood in the same position, unscathed.James’ eyes narrowed.“You lied.” Dillon pointed at James, disappointed. “You claim to be righteous, but you’re shameless.“You deceive people and then beat them up. Don’t you think you’re…”Before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of blood.At this moment, James pushed out another palm and then withdrew it. He felt embarrassed.He realized it a bit too late and felt embarrassed.A while later, his face twitched. “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be so obedient. Since we aren’t going to continue fighting, l
In Wuia Palace, at the edge of the frontal twenty halls, Xanthakos clenched his fists in the ball of Nothingness Dead Energy at the top of the pavilion. He looked at the buildings in front of him angrily.As he ran for his life, he crossed the frontal twenty halls. Despite his efforts, he was still hit by various formations, restrictions, and Daoisms. Consequently, he was covered in bruises.More importantly, he realized that Waitara was an insidious man. He had modified everything in Wuia Palace before escaping. Even Xanthakos, who was once most familiar with the place, couldn’t distinguish the directions.As Xanthakos didn’t know if he would die, he was naturally more cautious. After checking the place with his Zen, he reached out his hands.As two amethyst-gold lights flashed by, Xanthakos grabbed two beautiful figures by their hair.“I’ll give you another chance. Contact James immediately,” Xanthakos said through gritted teeth. “Otherwise, I’ll imprison you here and hand you o
“Xanthakos, you’re just a loner,” the other beautiful woman spoke up. “Not only have you lost your status in the Forty-Ninth Heaven, but you’ve also lost countless believers and disciples. Now, you’ve lost the support of the three Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. You’re nothing.“How dare you fight against my master now? You aren’t worthy.”Upon hearing that, Xanthakos became furious. He grabbed the woman’s hair with his other hand and lifted her.“Let go of her!” Light Thea became anxious.“Yukha, do you really think you can be fearless because we have history?” Xanthakos shouted angrily, “Do you really think I won’t kill you?”“If you dare to kill her, I will kill myself immediately.” Light Thea shouted, “By then, not only will you face the pursuit of the three Caeloros Gods, but you will also face James’ revenge. You won’t have a place in the Haleth Realm!”Xanthakos, who had murderous intentions, was stunned.It was obvious that Light Thea’s threat was effective. She had captur
“It’s the Nothingness Dead Energy. You’re quite capable,” a strange laughter sounded. “Let’s see if you can handle this.”Countless stars flew out of the ball of blue gas, attacking Xanthakos relentlessly.Seeing the terrifying scene, Xanthakos pulled out a tower that expanded to block the endless stars. Despite several explosions, the tower he sacrificed cracked under the constant impact and finally exploded.In the next moment, countless stars shone brightly and headed straight for Xanthakos.“She’s James’ wife. Kill her if you dare!” Xanthakos’ eyes widened in horror as he shouted. Subconsciously, he used Light Thea as a shield.However, when the nearest star was about to hit Xanthakos, it stopped. The countless stars behind it formed a long line, colliding with each other in a spectacular sight.“Don’t worry about me. Just kill Xanthakos,” Light Thea suddenly shouted. “If he manages to merge the treasures of Nothingness, his strength will increase, and it will be troublesome
Here's the passage with the apostrophes and double apostrophes changed to curly ones:“Back then, only Frona and I knew about this,” Yefrenes said. “Our Daoisms are different. I created Mordecai Preston, while she created Dillon Zacharias.“But they don’t belong to the orthodox. They happened to balance Waitara, so we kept them.”Yefrenes took a deep breath. “It’s unexpected that Waitara locked them here.”After hearing Yefrenes’ explanation, Amos frowned. “Since Dillon is here, James and Xanthakos must have been controlled by him, right?”“I don’t know about James.” Amon stared at the void where the ball of blue gas disappeared. “I only know that Xanthakos isn’t being controlled. Otherwise, his Nothingness Dead Energy would have been devoured long ago. Why bother leaving behind a pillar?”“What do we do next?” Quintinus looked at Yefrenes. “We can’t stay here for too long. Otherwise, the effect of the Immutable Pill will fade. By then, we can’t return to the Xanadu Realm. It wil
Inside the mysterious cave, Dillon appeared in a flash of blue light. He was holding Yukha.Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Dillon let go of Yukha. He clutched his chest and slid down the stone wall.“The Caeloros Gods of Nothingness are really powerful. It seems that the peaceful days are coming to an end.”“It is you!” At this moment, Yukha exclaimed and rushed toward James.Upon seeing that, Dillon shouted, “Don’t go there! The pestle will kill you. I don’t like burnt meat.”It was a pity that he was too late.When Yukha rushed over with excitement, she was knocked out by James’ Historial Pestle that was spinning.Yukha hit the thick stone wall and fell to the ground. She spat out a mouthful of blood.Dillon, who was sitting to the side, immediately said with sympathy, “It hurts, doesn’t it?”Yukha endured the pain from her injuries and got up. “Master...”“Don’t go there.” Dillon grabbed Yukha. “You’re too weak. You can’t get close to him.”“What happened to him?” Yukh
“Master, I’ve finally met you.” Yukha hugged James, tears of joy streaming down her face.Though James remained silent, Yukha continued to pour out her heart and recount what had happened.Dillon listened attentively, nodding in understanding.“So, his name is James. He values relationships and justice highly. He’s a righteous man. No wonder we connected so well when we first met.”At that moment, a faint amethyst-gold light emanated from James’ body. It intertwined with a bit of blue light from Yukha’s body and quickly escaped the formation created by the Historial Pestle, appearing next to Dillon.In a flash, a beautiful figure materialized—Lesia.Dillon was taken aback, staring at Lesia in surprise.“What are you?”“How dare you,” Lesia said sternly. “Don’t you recognize the Lord of Daoism?”Dillon frowned. “You?”Lesia turned to face him. “Have you become an idiot after being beaten by Waitara?”Dillon’s face twitched. “Watch your words. I have a bad temper. Even if you’
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
