Quiomars’ attacks were too fast.Moreover, Lord Samsong had endured constant torture in the formation, throwing him off mentally. As a result, he could not detect Quiomars. Thus, he had no idea who or what was sneaking up on him.After sustaining such a grievous injury, he could feel his life force slowly seeping away. He used whatever strength he had to stay awake, but it took a massive toll on him. For now, he could still hang on. However, despite being a Ninth Stage Lord, he would eventually die in the formation if he could not escape his predicamenr. After Quiomars struck, the lingering souls in the formation emerged. They turned into black mist and surrounded Lord Samsong. Their sinister power began to corrode Lord Samsong’s body and soul. Already critically injured, Lord Samsong could not continue to endure even more damage.He sensed his soul slowly fading away.Lord Samsong cursed. “Damn it!!!”Summoning his remaining power, he blasted away the lingering souls. Just this

Samsong was shocked by how James effortlessly obliterated the lingering souls. He obediently followed behind James. What surprised him more was that the terrifying formation had instantly lost all its power.He followed James out of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone and emerged completely unscathed.After they left, Samsong looked at James in shock and asked him, “W-Who exactly are you?”Samsong was Triple Star Welkin’s ruler and was familiar with almost every powerhouse in the Dark World. However, he had never seen James before. The strength that James displayed was terrifying and even he could not help but be taken aback by it.James replied briskly, “You’ll find out in due time.”Since James did not elaborate, Samsong was not willing to press further. He changed the subject and asked respectfully, “Where are we going next, Lord James?”“We’re heading to the Malevolent Land,” James replied, then patted Quiomars and said, “Let’s go.”Quiomars leaped into the sky and galloped t

This confirmed James’ earlier suspicions about the Lord of the First Universe being the one who united all the universes. Now that man was known as the Omnipotent Lord of the First District.Jacopo continued to explain, “The Omnipotent Lord led the fusion of the universes. After the merge, he divided the new universe into twelve districts according to the territory previously encompassed by each universe.“Each district has a District Leader who manages the area. Meanwhile, the Omnipotent Lord became the Lord of this new universe and oversees all twelve districts.“Initially, many Universe Lords opposed the Omnipotent Lord’s suggestion to merge the universes. However, he dealt with them ruthlessly and those who opposed him were brutally eliminated. After several Macrocosm Ancestral Gods died at his hands, no one else dared to go against him.”Jacopo explained how the new universe came to be.“In that case, who is the Twelfth District’s Leader?”Jacopo said, “It’s someone sent fro

In the past, every universe occupied a vast amount of space. Now that they had been merged, the resultant universe spanned a far larger area.It was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to travel through even just one district. However, it was not a problem for James. He could ignore the existence of time and traverse through districts effortlessly. James’ traveling speed had already surpassed the limits of time. He could reach the First District quickly. Although it seemed like an instant to him, a long time had actually elapsed.A man riding a cow quickly traveled through the First District and soon arrived near the Ancestral Holy Site. The Omnipotent Lord had already become the Lord of the new universe, and his residence, the Ancestral Holy Site, overflowed with the new universe’s luck.The Ancestral Holy Site was heavily guarded by numerous powerhouses. As soon as James approached the Ancestral Holy Site, he sensed several powerful auras indicating the strength of at least a Ni

The Omnipotent Lord sneered, stood up, and looked down at James. He pointed at James and said, “I’ll give you two choices, James. You can either submit to me or die.”James did not take the Omnipotent Lord’s threats seriously. He calmly looked at the Omnipotent Lord and responded, “Submit to you? I might consider it, if you can make it worth my while.”“...”The Omnipotent Lord was taken aback. He did not expect James to comply so easily and was prepared for James to challenge him in a fight to the death over the position of the new universe’s Lord.”For a while, the Omnipotent Lord remained silent.After a few seconds, he sorted out his thoughts and grinned. “Of course, I’ll make it worth your while. In the new universe, those with strength will be given authority. If you can defeat my subordinate, I’ll give you the position of the Deputy Universe Lord.”The Omnipotent Lord called out, “Briscoe.”“Yes, My Lord.”Immediately, a man stepped forward. It was a middle-aged man abou
