Even Xander’s subordinates were looking for him.They looked up and saw a figure hanging from the basement ceiling.He had one hand pressed against the wall as if there was glue on his palm, and his entire body was suspended in mid-air.Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of technique was this?James’ body quickly fell.When he fell, his toes slammed right into Xander’s chin.Crack!Xander’s chin was immediately shattered into pieces. At the same time, his body was sent flying, and he spun a few rounds on the ground, making a pained growl.The scene scared Xander’s subordinates.Despite holding machetes and electric batons in their hands, their bodies kept retreating to the corner of the wall.Staring at James, who was like a grim reaper, they all sweated profusely in fear.Meanwhile, Yoel was still on the floor, rolling and screaming in pain.By now, his body was already covered in scratches from himself.Xander’s chin was shattered, and he lay on the ground, making a m
After James went to the Prosperous Dynasty, he visited Common Clinic.He did not immediately go to see Thea.He knew that Yoel would not dare to have any more thoughts about Thea, and she would call him to come back very soon.Meanwhile, the Blithe King, who had received James’ call, was fuming.He was the Blithe King and the commander-in-chief of the Five Armies. He was not someone to clean up James’ messes!“Send troops to the Prosperous Dynasty immediately. Also, find out the background and the owner of the place!”The Blithe King roared.He was furious and caused a rumble throughout the military region.Hundreds of military vehicles were dispatched instantly, and the intelligence team began to get to work.Xander was quite a famous person in Cansington. He had his fair share of dirty business in the past, and it was easy for the Blithe King to find out about him.In less than ten minutes, the information about the Prosperous Dynasty was presented to the Blithe King.Goin
Outside the Prosperous Dynasty.A middle-aged man in a suit and tie sweated profusely.He was York Smith, the main representative of the Smith Group.He rushed over immediately after he received his son’s call. He was terrified after seeing the situation outside the Prosperous Dynasty.‘What the hell did this useless son of mine do?’A soldier approached and pointed at York. “You, go in.”“Okay.”York was finally able to enter the Prosperous Dynasty.His heart palpitated as he walked inside.The place was filled with armed soldiers, and many wounded people were carried away.He was terrified when he arrived at the basement and saw Yoel, bruised from all the beatings. Beside him was Daniel with a star on his shoulder. “General.” His legs went weak, and he fell to his knees.“Dad, waah! Take me away quick!” he sobbed desperately.York stood up and swung his limbs at Yoel.“You useless piece of trash! What have you done?”Daniel scolded him, saying, “That’s enough. Stop em
The military was dispatched. They sealed off the Prosperous Dynasty and arrested many people.The news caused an uproar in Cansington.“The Blithe King sure is enthusiastic! The first person he went after was Xander.”“I heard that Xander used to deal in some dirty business in the past. After years of cleaning up his business, he finally started doing some legal business. However, many lives ended in his hands, and there was a lot of dirt on him.”“Haha, it sure is satisfying! Black Wind Xander has finally been arrested! Even if he didn’t fall under gunfire this time, he will surely spend the rest of his life in jail!”The people of Cansington gossiped about what happened.All the major families had instructed their family members not to cause any trouble during this and lay low. It would cause their families many problems if they got targeted by the Blithe King.Thea’s family home.The whole family sat on the sofa in the living room. No one said anything, and the atmosphere
“Oh no, please don’t!”York stood up immediately, saying, “Ms. Thea, just call me Mr. Smith.”“Mr. Smith, my daughter will get a divorce from James as soon as possible. She’ll be free to marry Yoel after that, who has mentioned that he will not shun Thea. Even though Thea and James have obtained their marriage certificate, she’s still a virgin. She won’t be an embarrassment to the Smiths.”“Oh no, this is unacceptable!”York said, “Madam Hill, let’s not mention it. Thea and James are the perfect couple. Forget about my useless son! Thea’s way out of his league. Let’s leave it and not bring it up anymore!”Gladys looked confused.“Mr. Smith, does it bother you that Thea is a divorcee?”“No, of course not! Haven’t you heard of the ancient saying, ‘It’s better to burn bridges than to destroy marriages’? Ms. Thea and James are in love. We should forget about it!”After finding out how powerful James was, York would be an idiot to request that Thea divorce James.If the divorce wen
James went to Common Clinic after leaving Prosperous Dynasty.However, Henry was out.As he had the keys to the clinic, he let himself in. Ceasing operations for the day, he shut the door behind him after entering.He was going to take a nap in the back room.He had not slept well these few days, planning to catch up on his rest using this opportunity.After what felt like mere seconds after he fell asleep, his phone started ringing.Noticing that it was Thea, he smiled slightly.He answered the phone.Thea was crying.As he listened to her, he felt warm inside. Tenderly, he replied, “I’m at Common Clinic. I’ll be home soon.”He knew with certainty that the Smiths had sent David back.Now that Xander was dead, the Smiths would not have the guts to trouble Thea anymore. They were not that stupid.They would never let her get a divorce from him.Not if they wanted to live.James stretched.After that, he got out of bed and left the clinic, closing the door behind him.He
Yuna envied Thea.What did Thea ever do to be under James’ protection?On his electric motorcycle, James rushed toward Thea’s house, humming a tune.Instead of using the main roads, he took some shortcuts.As he passed through an alley, a jeep appeared out of nowhere, blocking him.A middle-aged man exited the car.The man was clad in a loose robe. He had bushy eyebrows and big eyes with a square jaw. He looked powerful, like a man used to being in charge.James stopped his electric motorcycle, looking at the Blithe King.The Blithe King approached, tossing James a cigarette.James caught it.The Blithe King pointed at the car. “Let’s talk.”James lit the cigarette and took a drag. “There’s nothing to discuss. If you have something to say, spit it out. My wife is waiting for me.”“What are you trying to do?” The Blithe King asked calmly.He had just arrived in Cansington, yet he had cleaned up James’ mess twice.He was the Blithe King of the West, now the commander-in-chi
The Blithe King’s appearance did not affect James at all.Since he resolved Thea’s problem, she had called for his return.He was in a good mood, humming a tune comfortably.Soon, he reached Thea’s house.He knocked.The door opened.It was Thea.Seeing James, she fell into his arms and started to cry.James could not help but be moved as a beautiful woman threw herself at him, accompanied by an intoxicating scent.James put an arm around her shoulder, smiling. “It’s okay. Everything’s okay now. Don’t cry. Your eyes will get puffy if you keep crying.”Thea stopped crying then, pulling James into the house with her.Everyone was there.However, they looked ill at ease.James approached them. “Dad, mom.”Gladys nodded, acknowledging his presence. “Don’t blame us, James. We had no choice.”“Mom, I don’t blame you. I only have myself to blame for not being able to help.”James smiled.He did not blame anyone at all.Furthermore, when it all came down to it, he could not b
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
