With Lyla’s current strength as a Path Emperor, she couldn't even save herself.James didn't waste words with her. With a wave of his hand, he sent her into Frona’s Cultivation Heart space. Then, James turned to Wynton, who had yet to make a move."Now that you've revealed your true form, how do you plan to die?""With this broken formation of yours?" Wynton laughed sinisterly. "Do you think this can withstand a full-scale battle between us?"James didn’t respond. Instead, he waved his hand, and a divine sword with a golden glow appeared in his grasp."The Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword?" Wynton frowned."Yes," James nodded. "Let’s see you die by your own sword.""Haha!" Wynton laughed again. "You know this is my sword. Do you think you can control it?"He raised two fingers and shouted, "Return!"With a burst of Waltraud Power from his fingertips, the Demon-Slayer Sword in James’ hand began to tremble.James scoffed, not bothering with more words. He raised his hand and slashed wit
Boom! Boom! Boom!Amid the continuous thunderous roars, James and Wynton fought fiercely within the formation for what felt like billions of rounds. Their unmatched Supernatural Power and swift movements left them evenly matched.The formation, inlaid with the Forty-Nine Daoism Cauldrons, trembled violently but held its ground. However, the River of Time was repeatedly shattered into countless segments by the relentless shockwaves.Within the formation, the past forms of living beings were obliterated amid terrified wails, and countless energy tadpoles recording time were swiftly devoured by the shockwaves.“Supreme Path Command!”A sudden roar echoed as the Waltraud Power radiated from Wynton’s entire body, emitting countless purple ‘Path’ characters that rapidly encircled James and spun swiftly.In the next moment, each character transformed into an illusory figure, launching a fierce attack on James from all directions.Facing this onslaught, James spun around, unleashing a d
With a thunderous bang, the strike he unleashed was rebounded by two light bands, causing him to stagger back several steps.He sensed extreme danger behind him just as he was about to cast another Supernatural Power. In the instant he turned around, three sharp light bands pierced through his body.His body trembled. Another three light bands pierced him from behind before he could react, emerging from his chest and quickly connecting with the formation in front.“You... ah!”Wynton started to struggle, but three more light bands shot out from his left, piercing through his shoulder and rushing toward the right side of the formation.In an instant, nine light bands imprisoned Wynton within the formation, rendering him completely immobile.The Waltraud Power and the Spiritual Providence rapidly leaked from Wynton’s body, and his strength visibly declined.“No, impossible!” Wynton roared in fury. “Just a formation can’t trap me!”As he struggled violently, the numerous formation
At this moment, tears streamed down Zella’s face as she felt heartbroken. She had originally thought her brother was simply Waitara's past form. However, she uncovered a significant secret after examining James’ space and Cultivation Heart.In the past forms collected by James, Thea, and Quattro from the River of Time, there were beings from all races of the myriad realms—even the lowest ones—but the Yaneiri Clan was conspicuously absent. This realization struck Zella suddenly, prompting her to seek confirmation from James.Seeing Wynton’s reaction seemed to confirm their speculation.At this moment, Frona’s voice echoed in James’ mind.“Can she really persuade him?”“I don’t know, but it’s a glimmer of hope,” James replied through voice transmission.“Zella is the most perceptive and wise among living beings, second only to Xezal,” Frona sighed. “But Wynton is wiser than Xezal, playing on emotions...”“No matter what, we have to try,” James interrupted. “Wynton is the only clue
“Your brother is wavering. Waitara's treachery is on the brink of collapse.”As the words left his lips, Wynton's howls on the other end of the light band grew louder, morphing into inhuman screams.Zella clung to James' arm, her heart lodged in her throat.Wynton’s entire body became enveloped by the rampant leak of Waltraud Power and Spiritual Providence, rendering his face unrecognizable.“James, please help him. I beg you. My brother isn't inherently bad. He's just overly ambitious and competitive, so...”James shook his head, looking helpless. Wynton had to save himself. All James could do was spare his life temporarily after defeating him.After a long while, the rampant Waltraud Power and Spiritual Providence around Wynton subsided, revealing his body and face once more. He looked entirely different—his face pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his once red hair now white. Though still bound by the nine light bands, he suddenly seemed to have aged countl
“Oh, you think this is too much?” Wynton chuckled darkly. “To be honest, if my sister hadn’t taken a liking to you, you’d have perished in the River of Time.”James stayed silent.“You can do anything for the myriad realms, can’t you?” With a mocking tone, Wynton continued, “Now all you have to do is hold a wedding with my sister, and you can save them all.“You win their respect and admiration. You’ll be lauded as a paragon of virtue—a savior. Plus, you get a beautiful woman in the process too. It’s a big win, don’t you think?”Wynton sneered. “Though the Yin governor might feel this is unfair, she has always looked at the bigger picture. She even exposed herself to Demeter’s harm and reincarnated eighty-one times just to pass the Leere Tribulation. Even her main self was cleaved in two—”“You have a deal,” James blurted out.The answer stunned Wynton; he hadn’t seen that coming. He could not believe James would agree so quickly. ‘Were all his actions up till now a fraud? He kil
Wynton stammered, "Why you…""Zella!" James turned around again. "Your brother said—""It's about the Haleth Realm!" Wynton quickly interrupted. Loudly, he said, "You have not been Deified yet, sister! You must not hear the Forbidden Words of the Path, or your cultivation will be affected! Go back!"James watched Wynton hastily salvage the situation, and it took all he had to hold his laughter back. 'The siscon thinks he can use his so-called trump card to threaten me? What does he think I am, chopped liver?'Zella was starting to suspect something, but she did not go back. Wynton closed in on James. "You call me underhanded, but you're lower than me. Fine, I can tell you everything, but my sister must go back."I am already deep in this mess, and I don't want to drag her into it. She's a lady. She should not suffer this."That was the one decent thing he said. At least he was doing his part as a brother well. James gazed at him and turned around. "Go back, Zella. We'll call you
Wynton frowned. “You don’t know that? What’s your Cultivation Heart Caeloros doing, then?”James paused for a moment, then shook his head. He was sure not even Frona knew of Wuia’s real plan. After all, Wuia did this to deceive the Nine Caeloros Gods.“I see she doesn’t trust you that much just yet.” Wynton smirked sardonically. “My ambition pushed me to heights I had no business reaching, and I was dragged into this mess. I was vesselsnatched. Though you are now a great Path, we are not so different.”James rolled his eyes. “Change of plans. I ask, you answer.”Wynton said nothing. He raised his head and took another swig.James stared at him. “Wuia split his Historial Daoism into three Soremsias and hid them somewhere. If any one of those Soremsias finishes their job, will he return fully and launch the Leere Tribulation?”Wynton looked at James weirdly. Sensing something was about to go awry, James narrowed his eyes. “Why don’t I call your sister again?”Wynton sneered. “You
