James thought, 'This is Goyo, the legendary leader of the Five Path Emperors, the strongest being of the Greater Realms. How did he end up like this?

Goyo said coldly, "You're strong and ruthless, James. You want to see me humiliated, right? I'm already a crippled man. Go ahead, mock me as you wish."

James examined him for a while, then took a swig of the Chaos Absinthe. Then, he said, "I'm losing my patience. I'm a man of my word."

Goyo said anxiously, Tve already shown myself. What more do you want?"

James took another swig of Chaos Absinthe and said, "I only have two mouthfuls of wine."

Goyo roared, "Don't go overboard, James! Even though I'm crippled now, I'm still the leader of the Goyo Sect and the Alcide Beings..."

Swoosh!

James flicked his wrist, and a purple-gold Sword Light shot out, piercing Goyo's body.

Goyo was unable to grasp the situation for a few seconds. The next moment, his face filled with disbelief.

James was full of impatience. 'Too much nonsense. It'd allow it if you were the real deal. But how dare an imposter say so much before me? You must have a death wish.

As soon as he finished speaking, Goyo exploded and sent blood flying everywhere.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

Without even sparing a glimpse, James took another mouthful of Chaos Absinthe.

"Last chance."

After James spoke, a deadly aura spread throughout the valley. Sand and rocks flew, grey clouds covered the sky, and Xanthakos' remaining disciples felt an unprecedented fear.

Holding a wine jar, James stood up slowly, took the last sip of Chaos Absinthe, and smashed the jar.

Then, he spread his hands, and a purple-gold Sword Light shot into the sky, multiplying into thousands, hovering above the entire area.

"Please stop, Emperor Caden!" Xalvador's voice suddenly came from the void.

Simultaneously, Yavrin hurriedly shouted from the other side, "Please calm down, Emperor Caden!"

Ignoring their pleas, James flipped his hand, and the sky above the valley was immediately filled with lightning and thunder. Dense Sword Lights buzzed deafeningly and began to fall one after another.

At that moment, a black and white light shot out from the valley, manifesting into a huge black and white lotus that blocked all the attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless explosions sounded, and the Sword Lights shattered in the blasts. Seeing this, James' handsome face showed excitement.

Then, a powerful and majestic voice echoed from the void. "The true essence of cultivation is beyond verbal descriptions and conceptualization. The nameless is the beginning of the heaven and earth. The named is the mother of all things.

"Observing without desire allows one to perceive the subtle, underlying reality of cultivation. Observing with desire focuses on the tangible, manifested aspects of reality. Both perspectives are valid and offer different insights into the nature of existence. This is how the Gate of Perception came to be."

As the words were spoken, the black and white lotus that had blocked James' countless Sword Lights. Then, it transformed into numerous Tai Chi diagrams, quickly surrounding James with fierce momentum.

Simultaneously, a dazzling gate opened behind James, growing larger until it completely devoured him.
