With a crisp snap, Thea struck James with the Chaos Honlarne Sword, producing a metallic clang. Despite the blow, James remained unscathed and unfazed. The already stunned Doom Race powerhouses were now terrified and began to retreat in fear.They wondered what kind of monsters they were facing. The strength of this man and woman was beyond their comprehension, perhaps surpassing even the living beings of the myriad realms.In the void, Halston swallowed his fear and shouted, “What are you afraid of? They are merely Wyot’s lackeys. Today is about our race’s dignity—charge forward!”He lunged toward Thea from the void.“You brought this upon yourself,” Thea sighed helplessly.In the next moment, countless beams of Hongrome Sword Light from the third step shot out as Halston crossed it, instantly shredding him into pieces and filling the air with a blood mist. Several Doom Race powerhouses who had been deceived by Halston crossed the sword light and met the same fate.Witnessing th
In the midst of the panic among the powerhouses of the Doom Race, Wyot spoke slowly with a somber expression. “You disobey the Clan Leader’s orders, ignore the race’s rules, and act independently.“Internally, you base positions on family background, show favoritism, form cliques, and engage in infighting.“Externally, you abuse power, wreak havoc among all living beings, act arrogantly, and kill at will, exhibiting extreme cruelty.”As he spoke, Wyot descended two steps, causing the group of powerhouses to retreat in fear.“When did the Doom Race become like this? And when did the clan leader become someone you could order around without respect?“Is it Xezal who gave you this courage? Or do you think having her support allows you to act with impunity?”Upon hearing this, the powerhouses were too frightened to even breathe. They were huddled together.Wyot pointed behind him to the Chaos Temple and said, “Since you are all here today, let’s make things clear. Whoever among you
“Can’t you be serious for once?”“I am serious,” James shrugged. “I’m curious to see whether the child of Waitara Path or the Hongrome Child would be stronger.”Thea groaned and then looked down shyly. “Jamie, you’ve been planning this all along.”James finally let out a mischievous smile. “Who needs to plan? If we want to have children, let’s just have them.”Thea pinched James’ waist hard and fell silent.At that moment, Wyot suddenly shouted from the steps below, “Xovior, bring them up!”With his command, a group of elite guards from the Doom Race escorted a large number of men and women to the massive square. They were not ordinary members of the race but lords and Heavenly Paths of various universes under the Doom Race’s domain.As soon as they landed, they knelt in unison and shouted, “Greetings, Clan Leader! We pledge our loyalty to the Doom Race and to you!”Their synchronized voices echoed like thunder throughout the Chaos Temple, sounding like a death knell to the kne
The sudden event frightened the powerhouses and senior authorities of the Doom Race, who fell to their knees, desperately begging for mercy.Wyot showed no compassion. Wielding the Chaos Honlarne Sword with incredible speed, his strikes swept through the battlefield, decapitating his enemies.The senior authorities of the Doom Race, the Lords of fifty-three universes, and about eighty Great Elders perished. Their headless corpses exploded, their golden bodies disintegrating.Snow swirled into fog as the remains of the dead scattered like ash. The Lords and Heavenly Paths of the Doom Plane, lined up on the plaza, held their breaths in terror.Witnessing this massacre, Thea shivered. "He actually killed them all. It’s not right.""It is right," James said, looking at Thea. "I won.""That's not the point." Thea rolled her eyes. "He killed all these living beings and left not one trusted lieutenant. The Doom Race..."James interrupted, "They say Wyot is a fool, but he isn’t. He just
Quattro's proclamation left the Dark World's powerhouses with no choice but to kneel and comply. It became clear: their Marshal wasn't going to rest on his laurels any longer. Instead, he was set on propelling the Dark World to new heights.Meanwhile, James had dragged Thea into the Chaos Temple and hastily started his activities. Thea's face turned red from his urgency. "Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate, darling?" she muttered."What do you mean?" James asked, baffled.With some embarrassment, Thea replied, "I mean, this is Chaos Temple. It's sacred to the Doom Race, and you want us to… do it here?""This spot is perfect. It's well-hidden. We can handle things here," James insisted as he threw down a path source and set up a magic circle at the entrance.Seeing James was determined, Thea could only shake her head. "Fine, but if Wyot asks, you're explaining. You did appoint him, after all."Thea shyly disrobed. James was unaware when the last bit of fabric fell from her s
The scene shifted to the Yin Void in the Dark World. Jacopo, in his Waitara being form, sat cross-legged on the mountaintop behind Zvecha Temple. Holy Daoism light swirled around him, lending him an air of sanctity.Before him, Lord Goyo knelt like a pious believer. It seemed as if he wouldn't move unless Jacopo gave the order.Though Gladwin, Quardion, and the others had their suspicions and quietly launched some investigations, Lord Goyo wouldn't risk a falling out until they had concrete evidence.After a long while, Jacopo blurted, "Get ready to move to a new home, Qyran."Shivering, Lord Goyo asked, "Please, Path, may I know the reason for this action?""Are you questioning me?" Jacopo frowned."No, no!" Lord Goyo shook his head violently. "I mean, the Yin Void is the best hiding spot in all Greater Realms. If we...""If you do not move, everything you've built will be destroyed," Jacopo interrupted.Lord Goyo straightened up, shock written all over his face. "Great Path,
Excited, Lord Goyo's eyes went wide as he swiftly held up the black elixir. The elixir lacked any glimmer and was as unremarkable as a plain rock. It emitted a pungent scent and felt nothing like a typical elixir.Regardless, if the Path declared it edible, Lord Goyo would have to comply. He closed his eyes and popped the elixir into his mouth. The overwhelming scent surged into his brain, preventing him from swallowing."Swallow it," urged Jacopo."P-Please…" Lord Goyo's cheeks twitched. "G-Great Path, why does this elixir taste like… like goat manure?""You fool!" Jacopo cursed, "Do you dare compare my blessing to filth?"Dropping to his knees, Lord Goyo managed to gulp down the elixir, suppressing his utter disgust.Jacopo watched him retch, barely containing his laughter."Great Path…" Lord Goyo gagged. "The taste, it's…" He pinched his nose, retching even more. "It's awful!""That's enough." Jacopo waved him off. "Get to work. You don't have much time."Lord Goyo stood, s
Back in Great Historial Land, Lesia, Rebella, and Xezal were compiling all information from the Greater Realms. Following the recall of the Jademora Empire's Guardians, realm lords, and Heavenly Paths, the Greater Realms experienced a power vacuum.It was through this void that the fake James decimated the Tai Chi world with the elite beings he deceived. He took over countless sects and turned them into his subjects.Now, the fake James and his army were growing stronger. Together with Sky Bridge's forces, they were closing in on Forladtt Land.Forladtt Land's defenses could fend off anything below Daeclon Rank, but anything beyond that, they would struggle to hold off.More importantly, James took back Rebella's Yonderverse Tower. Without the Yonderverse Tower's grace, it was only a matter of time before the fake James' army took over Forladtt Land."Wayra and a Xaeclon Rank legion are battling the First War King and the First Xerion Dragon Army.""Makara and a Xurxo Daeclon Ran
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
