Thea said calmly, “He wants to play Lights Off with me, but he doesn’t know I want to do the opposite.”“I-Is this Waitara’s Soremsia?” Youcef asked, widening his eyes.“Silly child,” Yaretzi said. “It’s Waitara Path’s soul spirit’s reincarnated soul boy.”She then pointed at the baby’s forehead. “Do you see that red mole? That’s the Historial Soul…”“No!” she suddenly frowned. “This Historial Soul isn’t complete. It’s only half. Is there another reincarnated soul boy?”“The Waitara Path’s soul spirit is deceitful. It separated the Yin and Yang,” Thea said seriously. “There’s still a reincarnated soul girl. She’s still being conceived in a mother’s body somewhere. If she is born, she will be more powerful than this baby.”When Youcef heard that, his expression grew serious. “We need to find her as soon as possible.”“Our efforts will be in vain if we don’t have a trace,” Yaretzi looked at Thea. “Make this baby cry. I can use his voice to find the girl.”“That’s right,” Youcef s
James looked at Yaretzi and Youcef kneeling before him. He quickly stepped forward and helped them up.“We know each other. There’s no need to be so polite.”“Did you really comprehend the Forty-Nine Daoisms and aim for the Supreme Path before becoming the Lord of the Haleth Realm?” Youcef asked excitedly. Then, he laughed. “Congratulations. The Haleth Realm is fortunate to have you!”Youcef was about to give James a hug when he was stopped by Yaretzi.“Youcef, how can you be so rude? Don’t you have any respect…”However, she didn’t expect James to extend his arms first and give Youcef a hug.Seeing that, Yaretzi was stunned.A while later, James let go of Youcef and patted him on the shoulder.“Your strength didn’t really improve. When can you defeat me?”Hearing that, Youcef scratched his head, a little embarrassed.“You’re already the Lord of the Haleth Realm. No matter how much I improve, I won’t be your match.”“You aren’t like the Youcef I know.” James shook his head.
“Not bad. I wondered why I couldn’t sense you under the sacred radiance of the Supreme Path.” With his arms behind his back, James walked around Thea. “It turns out you’ve cultivated the Hongrome Body and reached Consummation.“Thea, you’re insane. You’ve gone too far. Are you planning to sell me off and gain a large sum of money that’s difficult to count?”“No,” Thea responded diffidently.Then, she faced James’ sharp gaze and hurriedly lowered her head again, like a child caught making a mistake.“You’re a mother of several children. Why are you still so naive?” James looked at Thea. “Now that Waitara Path’s soul spirit is dead because of you, you and Frona are still thinking of pushing me higher.”Thea pouted and glanced up at James, unable to say anything.“Since you started to cultivate, who have you been afraid of?” James stared at Thea. “You’re bold and reckless. You’re always scheming and making arrangements for me. Why did you change after going to Frona?“Why did you d
Was it a trap?And was it specifically arranged by Waitara?Thea thought about it. The appearance of the Leere Soul-Detection Compass was enough to cause a life-and-death battle in the Xanadu Realm, let alone the Haleth Realm.Based on Waitara’s character and greed, even if he reincarnated, he would hide such a treasure or store it in a place he believed was the safest. How could it be found so easily?It was on purpose. Upon thinking that, Thea shuddered.Then, she stared at James. “How did you notice it?”James gazed at Thea deeply. With his hands behind his back, he turned around.“We have both experienced great storms and died many times. Didn’t you notice that we seem to be pushed by some kind of power, as if everything had been arranged?“From the ancient martial world to Celestial Abode, from the planes to the Dark World, and then to the Genesis Worlds and Zymurgy, as well as the Haleth Realm.“Even though I’ve comprehended the Forty-Nine Daoisms and become the Lord of
Upon hearing that, Thea took two steps back. She hurriedly asked, “What do I need to do? I’ll listen to you. I won’t act recklessly anymore.”James smiled and brushed Thea’s nose bridge. “Don’t suppress yourself and go against who you are. You just need to listen to advice at critical moments.”“What do I need to do?” Thea grabbed James’ arm. “I want to know now, in case I do something wrong again.”James smiled and said, “The first step is to go back to being yourself and watch the fire.”Thea was confused. “What fire?”“The fire of all worlds,” James said, enunciating each word. “Especially the fire of our acquaintances and friends.”Then, James took a deep breath. “I wish our acquaintances could handle the test of this fire and that our friends could pass.”Test all realms?Did James stop trusting his acquaintances and friends too?Gradually, Thea went from shock to calm.Even Jabari and Franciscus, whom James respected the most, had become Xanthakos’ Soremsias. Lyla, who
In the Demon Region of the Genesis World, James and the others appeared on an extremely steep cliff with a few flashes of amethyst-gold light.Looking at the mist-covered mountains, James asked, “Darling, do you remember this place?”“Of course.” Thea, who had a new appearance, nodded. “After reincarnating from the Dark World, I was born here.”James teased, “Back then, you killed a lot of beings from the Timaeus Sect.”Upon hearing that, Thea clicked her tongue. “I still remember someone entered the Timaeus Sect and almost married the saintess.”James was at a loss for words.“What’s happening down there?” Yaretzi asked.“There are so many beings,” Youcef, who also had a different appearance, looked down. “There are still beings flying over from all directions.”Upon hearing that, James, Thea, and Yianni looked over.In the valley below, a group of beings in black robes holding longswords confronted another group in red robes. They didn’t want to let anyone pass. The tension
In an instant, both parties started shouting at each other, gathering and ready to fight.Hearing the commotion below, James looked at Thea. “Maxine and Wyot became founders. They each established a sect and have their own disciples?”Thea couldn’t help but laugh. “So many years have passed in Zymurgy. With their talent, they should have almost reached the Daelcon Rank.”“I have to see this.” James scratched his head. “If Maxine and Wyot have become founders, what about Taran, Cairo, Zavis, and Henrik? What rank should they be?“What about Truett, Xitlaly, Rebella, Adair, Xantia, Lucille, and Wylie?“Let alone the powerhouses who have been famous for a long time in the Genesis World, such as Yegor, Herodias, Celestial Sages, Mattaniah, the Sect Leaders of the Three Great Sects…”“Stop it. You’re like a mosquito buzzing in my ear.” Thea pushed James away. “Everyone knows you have a lot of friends. You’re annoying!”James didn’t refute. Instead, he counted the number of friends an
James and the others turned around and saw a tall, burly man with eyes wide open in anger, surrounded by strong Marciais Power.Behind him were a few beings, all exuding murderous energy, as if James and the others had committed a grave sin.The few divine beings with James were taken aback.“You!” The burly man pointed at Yianni. “How dare you disrespect our god? How can you call him by his name?”He roared and pushed out a fist with Marciais Power. The power transformed into a tiger that ran toward Yianni, but the tiger was instantly absorbed by Yianni’s shield and completely disappeared.Seeing this, the angry burly man was astonished, and the beings behind him were stunned.“I didn’t know the Second Marciais Combat Form could be used in this manner,” exclaimed Yianni.“How dare you laugh at my power.” The burly man exuded extreme Marciais Power and stepped forward to punch Yianni again.Yianni didn’t dodge. Instead, she watched his fist land. There was a sound, but Yianni w
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
