In the vast universe, James’ main self of Path continued to feed the sword with his blood, bolstering its strength.Under Yefrenes’ command, countless star clusters and nebulae formed an enormous cyclone around James’ main self of Path. Caeloros Lights fused with the cosmic storm, rumbling with a dreadful hum, threatening to tear James apart.Yefrenes roared, “I don’t have time for your games, James! I know you won’t accept defeat. In that case, prepare to die!”With Yefrenes’ furious declaration, the massive cyclone surrounding James began to attack from all directions. Massive stars and planets, like a barrage of bullets, hurtled toward James’ main self of Path.At that moment, James’ main self of Path opened his eyes. The divine sword in his hand multiplied from one to two, then from two to four, eventually forming a dense sword formation around him, destroying the oncoming stars and planets.Violent explosions reverberated through the universe, and the shockwaves spread out, s
As a flash of light erupted, Yefrenes’ unwilling roar echoed from within the formation.“No! Impossible! How can a mere Historial being from the Haleth Realm break my universe bondage and wound my Caeloros Body?”As her voice fell, a dazzling burst of colorful light flashed, and Yefrenes was violently expelled from the formation.She was exposed, her flawless beauty and ethereal allure still apparent despite her bleeding lips and pale face.Yefrenes coughed up blood and raised her head in defiance. She glared at James’ main self of Path, which lay slumped against the formation’s wall.“You aren’t capable of this. It couldn’t be you. I was defeated by someone else. It must be Frona! That wretched bitch used you to distract me, then launched a fatal attack on my Caeloros Body!“That must be it. Only she knows my vital point! She’s such a despicable, shameless, and vicious hypocrite!“She deliberately crossed the Xyrisia Gate, making us believe her strength was weakened to lure us
“Kids shouldn’t play with sharp objects. You might hurt yourselves if you don’t handle them properly,” a teasing voice came from behind Yefrenes.Startled, Yefrenes turned around abruptly and was immediately terrified. She stumbled back, falling on James’ main self of Path.Her eyes were wide with disbelief, her beautiful cheeks twitching in fear as if she had seen a ghost. “James? How…”“Get off me! You couldn’t defeat me and now want to kill me by sitting on me?” James’ main self of Path protested.Yefrenes quickly stood up and turned around, seeing James’ main self of Path still slumped on the ground, gasping for breath. She exclaimed in disbelief, “There are two of you? How is this possible?”From their auras and demeanor, they were not clones or Primordial Spirits but actual physical entities. ‘Could James be a pair of twins, or had he already cultivated another main self?’In great surprise, she looked at the sitting James behind her and then at the standing James. The latt
Without waiting for his main self of Path to speak or for Yefrenes to resist, James enveloped them both in Hadufen Energy.Soon, his main self cursed from within. “You’re playing dirty! What is that weird smell?”James laughed, “Since you both are inexperienced, I needed to help a little. Have fun!”As he finished speaking, Yefrenes’ horrified screams resounded.“What are you doing? Don’t come near me! Go away…ahh!!!”Then, there was silence.James emerged from the formation and saw the two Path Protectors hovering above the Historial Palace, still channeling Waltraud Power with great dedication.The four glowing cauldrons in the corners of the formation, rotating and circling, instantly caught his attention.James bowed, clasped his hands, and said, “Thank you.”Zbynek and Lilibeth stopped infusing Waltraud Power and looked up. Seeing James, they were overjoyed.“Did you succeed, James?”“Amazing! As expected from the Chosen One, you’re truly exceptional!”James smiled non
In the Yaretzi Mountains, situated at the western boundary of the Wuia Palace, lay the western barrier that protected the entire palace. The area was shrouded in clouds and mist, creating a vast and majestic landscape.Encircled by mountains within and connected to the sea of stars beyond, the universe extended and gradually blended into the boundless void.At this moment, atop a dome in the Yaretzi Mountains, hysterical curses, roars, and screams resonated, mingled with wild laughter, creating a scene of tragic chaos.Marius and Yianni were beaten beyond recognition and imprisoned by a black Nothingness Aura. They were constantly struck by lightning and various forces. They endured the excruciating pain, cursing furiously in a direction.Meanwhile, Mordecai and Dillon suffered heavy injuries, their bodies covered in blood, but they still stood up defiantly. They were struck down but climbed up once again with difficulty.In the void, Taiyi and Yasmina were trapped within a slowly
Boom! Boom!With two loud explosions that echoed through the universe, Quintinus’ transparent formation shattered, leaving two gaping holes. Quintinus, who had been laughing wildly, spun around, his eyes widening in shock.“How dare you?!! You ants…argh!!!”Before he could finish, Mordecai and Dillon’s combined attack sent Quintinus flying. “Mordecai, Dillon!” Taiyi and Yasmina exclaimed in unison.Yianni and Marius also shouted anxiously.Harper, who had been suffering humiliation in the jar, also cried out hysterically, “You two promised to take me as a disciple! No…”Bang!Bang!With two thuds, the Mordecai and Dillon collapsed where Quintinus had just stood. Their bodies twitched as blood spilled from their lips.They had used the last of their strength for that attack. Death was now inevitable, but they felt no regret. Instead, they turned to look at each other and smiled in relief.Mordecai asked weakly, “How long has our rivalry lasted, Dillon?”Dillon spat out a mo
Mordecai pondered briefly, then answered, “He’s impressive!”“Is that all you have to say?” Dillon turned to Mordecai and glared at him.Mordecai chuckled, “What more do you expect? Have you ever heard me praise another before? I’ve never even praised the Waitara Path.”Dillon and Mordecai burst into laughter, though fits of coughing up blood punctuated their laughter.“Don’t die…” Harper cried out in anguish, shaking her head. “James will come soon. He’ll save us and heal you! I’m sure!”Mordecai and Dillon exchanged glances, smiling with a sense of relief.Dillon said, “Sorry, I can’t accept you as my disciple. I already have one, and it’s my principle to never take another.”Harper shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “Regardless, you’re my master! Both of you!”Mordecai chuckled softly, “This girl is carefree on the surface but has many troubles. After this ordeal, I hope she finds peace and moves forward.”He raised his voice and said, “Since you’ve acknowledged
Quintinus seethed with rage after a moment of disbelief. “Are you trying to rebel, Quintus?”“Please allow them to reconcile.” Quintus stood defiantly, no longer submissive. Instead, he had a determined look, prepared to face death.Quintinus sneered, “Ha! You’re a nobody. How dare you speak in my presence? Have I been too kind to you? Leave now if you’re sensible.”He attempted to retrieve his whip, but Quintus held it firmly and resolutely, ready to meet whatever fate awaited him.Quintinus’ cheeks twitched with anger. “Very well. Since you wish to die with them, I’ll gladly oblige.”With a swift motion, he slashed out his right hand, and Caeloros Lights mixed with Nothingness Aura gathered to form a massive green dragon.The dragon hurtled toward Quintus, but he remained firmly in place. A dazzling amethyst-gold light emerged from his body and met the dragon head-on.Boom!The shockwaves from their clash swept the area, rattling even Taiyi, Yasmina, Harper, Yianni, and Mariu
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
