The high-ranking members of the Dooms frowned in unison as they regarded Thora, an unfamiliar figure despite their recent destruction of the New Shahrzad Dynasty.Thora, visibly nervous, took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the assembly. “Honored seniors, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Thora, ruler of the Shahrzad Genesis World, under the command of the Jademora Empire.”She paused, letting her words sink in before continuing. “The New Shahrzad Dynasty, which I lead, has fought valiantly alongside the Solstice Alliance and participated in the Greater Realms’ war. The Jademora Empire granted us the Shahrzad Genesis World based on merit, and we did not establish it clandestinely…”As Thora recounted the history of her dynasty, a deep sorrow tinged her voice. The events were the same as she had previously shared with James and others. She described the Doom Army’s ruthless invasion, their merciless slaughter of her people, the plundering of resources, and the destruction o
The woman’s eyes gleamed with malice as she stared at Thora. “You’re quite beautiful. If you’re so desperate to cling to us, I could find you a talented member to take you as a concubine. However, the New Shahrzad Dynasty will be completely annihilated if you remain stubborn.”Thora was livid from the humiliation, and her strong emotions caused her to cough up a mouthful of blood.The high-ranking members of the Dooms exchanged knowing glances, their faces twisted into strange, amused smiles. Their whispers filled the Doom Ancestral Hall.“Yadira certainly is clever. After all, she served beside the Chancellor before.”“Indeed. She learned a lot after being trained by the Chancellor.”“That foolish girl must not value her life. How dare she come here and try to put on a show?”“We must investigate this situation. Someone must be backing her up. The mere ruler of the New Shahrzad Dynasty wouldn’t dare attempt such a stunt alone.”“I wonder how Wyot will handle this…”Amidst the
Yadira clutched her cheek, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Wyot. “You’ve conspired with outsiders and brought chaos into our territory. Aren’t you afraid of the Chancellor’s wrath?”Her words sparked indignation among the high-ranking members of the Dooms, who began to criticize Wyot.Amidst the uproar, Wyot’s fists trembled before a terrifying and potent aura burst from his body. A powerful wind surged through the hall, silencing the high-ranking members instantly as they struggled to withstand the force.Wyot’s voice boomed with authority. “I merely seek the truth. Are we truly as cruel, arrogant, heartless, and vicious as the Greater Realms claim? As leader of the Dooms, I have the right to know. Even if the Chancellor were here, I would still investigate this matter. I will shred whoever dares to take action within our holy land into pieces.”With a swift motion, Wyot raised his hand, and a terrifying sword light shot out. It circled the Dooms' high-ranking members
“Who gave you permission to enter, Chaos Warriors?”Standing behind Yadira, the commander raised his head and replied indifferently, “We only follow the orders of the Doom Martial Token.”Wyot’s eyes widened in shock. “The Chancellor has the Doom Martial Token. You…”Before he could finish speaking, Yadira held up a glowing token. “Haha. You didn’t expect this, did you, Wyot? The Chancellor has entrusted me with command over the two hundred thousand Chaos Warriors. These are our strongest fighters and will be able to hold their ground against Jacopo’s Xerion Dragon Army.”Yadira asked coldly, “Now, do you see who truly holds power in the Dooms?”Wyot clenched his fists. “You…”Yadira cut him off. “Wyot! As our leader, you should be looking out for our interests. Instead, you constantly side with outsiders. You’re unworthy of your title. Out of respect, we still acknowledge you as our leader. However, everyone knows the real leader is our chancellor, not a coward like you.”Point
Thora suddenly lifted her head, her eyes blazing with fury. “Xzavion? What does this have to do with him?”Yadira sneered, “Look at you, so worried about him. You’re truly a shameless wench. It’s no wonder he forsook his prestigious position as the Great Protector and willingly became the ruler of the Tai Chi World.“So, it seems the New Shahrzard Dynasty was established with his aid, and he provided you with the finest resources from Tai Chi World. You conspired to subvert Emperor Caden’s Daoism and disrupted the fairness of the Greater Realms. You two embezzled the empire’s cultivation resources. That’s an unforgivable crime!”Her final words echoed sharply through the hall.Thora shook her head frantically. “That’s not true! It’s not true at all!”“You know what’s the truth,” Yadira responded. She then turned her sharp gaze to Wyot and said, “You’re the Dooms’ Leader but are ignorant of the Greater Realms’ current trend. On the surface, it seems that we’re in the core of the Ja
Faced with this sudden change of events, Yadira instinctively took two steps back, her guard up.Wyot looked directly at Yadira and said coldly, “You don’t need to find so many righteous excuses. Others might not know you well, but I do.”“You…” Yadira looked at Wyot, lacking confidence.“You harbor hate because of unrequited love. Hence, you’re using our race to exact your revenge and vent your anger,” Wyot angrily approached Yadira.“Who do you think you are? Just because you’ve been with the Chancellor for so many years, you think you’re her spokesperson now? How dare you give orders, act arrogantly, and sow discord within our Dooms?”With Wyot’s roar, Yadira was frightened and retreated repeatedly, her face turning pale.Wyot raised his hand, pointing at the high-ranking members of the Dooms. “And you all, how dare you mention the Greater Realms War and claim to be the main force? Have you no shame?”As soon as these words came out, the Dooms’ high-ranking members lowered th
Outside the Doom Ancestral Hall, the man's murderous aura permeated the air. The sky turned blood-red, and a chilling, terrifying force swept into the hall.The 200,000 Chaos Warriors surrounding the hall trembled under the pressure. Their armor, helmets, and weapons cracked and shattered, scattering across the ground.The terrifying sight frightened all the Dooms' high-ranking members present in the hall. Their faces turned pale, their legs trembled, and they knelt and kowtowed in fear, not daring to raise their heads."Seraphon War King, Clayton Sindward!" Yadira glanced outside and murmured. Then, as the force poured into the hall, she fell to her knees.After a moment of shock, Wyot raised his head and closed his eyes in despair. He understood that the matter had really gotten out of hand.James and the others sat motionless in their chairs, allowing the terrifying aura to permeate the entire hall.Thea quickly activated a Hongrome Shield around Thora, protecting her from the
With a scream, Jaime immediately collapsed to the ground. He slowly rose in pain, rubbing the spot where he had been kicked, and muttered, “You always kick me on the same side, old man! Can’t you pick the other side next time?”Upon hearing this, James and the others sitting on the chairs exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.Clayton rolled his eyes at Jaime and asked irritably, “You’re Skynet’s Young Master, so why are you in the Dooms’ territory?”“I…”Clayton glared and continued, “Are you here to sow discord and gloat over their misfortune? Are you trying to meddle in their internal affairs to gain information for Skynet?”Jaime frantically explained, “No, of course not! Do you really think I came to this stinking place of my own will? I’m here because…”His voice trailed off as he glanced toward James’ group, swallowing whatever he had left to say.Clayton, still irritated, said, “Alright, get out of here. You were almost trampled into a pulp by an army of two hun
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
