Chapter 1195: The Truth About the Soul Contract

A soul contract is bound to the soul; as long as one does not dissolve it, even if the other party possesses heaven-defying means, it cannot be undone.

Just like the Undying Monarch, Little Yellow Chicken; he was only a God King before, and even though he is a Monarch now, he still has no way to resolve such an agreement.

To prevent this fellow from going back on his word and causing a backlash, the Master Teacher Continent specifically decreed that even if one could break away from the Book of Heaven's Path, one could not break free from the agreement between souls!

"The soul contract indeed cannot be split from the sea of consciousness, but I have fused with a special gas that can even dissolve the Heaven's Path. Dissolving this kind of contract is not difficult... as long as there is sufficient power to bombard the location of the contract, it can be done!"

The Ruthless Man said.

The soul contract is established on the foundation of the Heaven's Path. If this special power can even dissolve the Heaven's Path of the God World, what is so difficult about dissolving a soul contract, provided it is handled properly?

"So that's how it is..." Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

"I've said so much to you, consider it my thanks for bringing me to the God World!"

After explaining, the Ruthless Man said no more. The aura on his body became increasingly ancient and distant, and the black hole behind him grew even larger. Clearly, in the time it took to speak, he had swallowed an unknown amount of power to nourish himself.

"Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength becomes..."

Luo Ruoxi also discovered something was wrong and hurriedly sent a voice transmission.

"Prepare to act!" With his doubts dispelled, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand was suddenly raised: "Since that's the case, let's see who is better in a real fight!"

Boom!

The most powerful sword intent was unleashed once again.

In life, I shall return; in death, I shall long for you!

If one does not even care about life and death, what else can stand in one's way?

Although this sword technique had not reached the level of a Monarch's comprehension, it contained all the obsessions in his heart, pushing the "Heaven Has Feelings" cultivation technique within his body to its limit.

Whoosh!

With one sword strike, he slashed the Ruthless Man's attack in two.

At the same time, Luo Ruoxi also made her move, her jade hands rolling, sword light like snow.

Her sword technique was somewhat similar to that of the young man from the Sword God Heaven, carrying an indomitable momentum and the natural ease of the Great Dao.

"Your moves are very powerful, but compared to me, they are still lacking..."

With a light smile, the Ruthless Man reached down again.

In an instant, it blotted out the sky and sun; the palm covered the heavens and earth, space shattered, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed as if they were about to be beaten down by force.

Pfft! Pfft!

Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi were sent flying backward simultaneously, blood spraying wildly in the air.

With the strength of the two of them, they actually couldn't block it!

What kind of realm has this guy reached?

"Presumptuous!" The clone stepped forward with large strides; with every step, lotus flowers bloomed, and the sound of flowing water echoed in the void.

Looking from afar, it was full of style.

Having refined the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation was not the least bit weaker than Zhang Xuan's.

Raising a fist, the power surged into the nine heavens.

Colliding with the Ruthless Man, he was also sent flying backward, unable to block a single move.

Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

Even after becoming a Monarch, the clone still hadn't changed his nature of showing off...

With such flashy showing off, it would be better to concentrate the power; the might would be even greater!

"Attack together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die..."

Little Yellow Chicken let out a loud shout, crimson flames burning, and the sky seemed to be ignited. The remaining six great Monarchs also each unleashed their own means.

The seven Monarchs united, destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth; a side of the world could not block them, but the opponent was a Ruthless Man who had absorbed special power. As the attack arrived, the black hole suddenly grew larger, swallowing the power clean in the blink of an eye, and then immediately counterattacking.

Bang bang bang bang!

The seven Monarchs, like Zhang Xuan and the others, were sent flying backward.

The ten Monarchs, united together, actually didn't block a single move from the opponent!

How could this guy be so powerful?

"You can die now..."

Defeating everyone with one move, the Ruthless Man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and slapped down again.

"How dare you, you rat!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from the Sword God Heaven appeared abruptly, blocking in front, the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

"A Monarch? He also has Monarch strength?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

This old man had followed behind the young man initially, and he had thought he was just an attendant, at most a titled God King. Only after he unleashed his power did he discover that he was actually also a Monarch expert!

If he is a Monarch, then what is that young man?

"He himself is a Monarch of the Sword God Heaven..." Struggling to stand up, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth and said.

"Then... what about the young man who taught me the sword technique?" Zhang Xuan could no longer hold back.

"He is..." Before Luo Ruoxi could answer, space twisted, and then he saw this Monarch of the Sword God Heaven also sent flying backward, landing not far away and smashing out a large pit.

Zhang Xuan's current strength and comprehension of the sword path far exceeded his, and even he couldn't contend with it. Even though his cultivation was not weak and his sword technique was brilliant, he was still no match.

"Haha, Monarchs, just a bunch of useless rabble! Today I will destroy the Nine Heavens, destroy this God World, and trample all rules flat!"

Defeating the Monarch of the Sword God Heaven, the Ruthless Man laughed wildly, the surrounding space collapsing continuously, setting him off like a demon or a monster.

"What should we do?" Zhang Xuan clenched his fists.

Just now, he and his clone had unleashed their strongest combat power, and even Luo Ruoxi before him had used her strongest moves, yet they hadn't blocked a single move from the opponent...

Is there really no one in the God World who can block this person before us?

Just let him destroy the world?

"The only way... is to return your Heaven's Path Defects to the Heaven's Path itself, and let the Heaven's Path suppress him..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists, her eyes reddening.

"Return to the Heaven's Path itself?" Zhang Xuan knew what she meant.

The library in his mind was itself a part of the Heaven's Path. Once returned, the Heaven's Path would be completely whole, and perhaps it could repair the loopholes and self-eject the Ruthless Man.

It's just like the human immune system.

If the immune system is complete, when a virus comes, it can be easily driven away; if it's broken, it can't resist the virus's invasion, and even the strongest person will die because of it.

It's just that...

"He is too powerful; even if the Heaven's Path is restored to wholeness, it won't be able to suppress him, right!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

The immune system can kill a virus, but... what about a fierce tiger?

No matter how strong the immune system is, what can it do?

This person before us, even if he were just an ordinary God King, or even titled, the Heaven's Path could easily kill him, but he is more powerful than a Monarch... he is already beyond what the Heaven's Path can contend with.

"This..." Luo Ruoxi paused for a moment, a look of disappointment appearing on her fair jade face: "That's right... it can't suppress him, but if the Heaven's Path is whole, he can wake up, and killing this person won't be difficult!"

"He?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

"I will take you to see him; he is in the Zizai Heaven..." Taking a deep breath, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth and turned to fly forward.

"Want to escape?" The Ruthless Man snorted and pressed down.

Bang!

Luo Ruoxi fell from the air.

"You..." Zhang Xuan unleashed his sword technique again, the sword intent shining brilliantly.

Ding ding ding!

He was blocked by the Ruthless Man again.

"You guys go quickly, I'll block him..."

Knowing that they were thinking of a way to save the God World rather than escaping, the clone and the Undying Monarch let out a loud shout and blocked in front. Luo Qiqi also transformed, returning to the main body of the Quiet Void Pearl.

The surrounding space solidified.

"Go!"

Seeing everyone blocking behind regardless of their own safety, fearless of death, Zhang Xuan's eyes reddened. However, he also knew that now was not the time to talk, so he pulled Luo Ruoxi, his body flickered, tearing through space, and the next moment he appeared within the range of Zizai Heaven.

Zizai Heaven no longer had its previous ease; the God World was collapsing, and everything was in chaos.

"Where is the 'he' you spoke of?"

Having no time to observe the lives of ordinary people, Zhang Xuan looked at the girl in his arms.

If the person she spoke of could really save the God World, what did it matter if he sacrificed himself!

"He is my father. The blood in your pendant is his. The Undying Monarch was once his beast pet..." Luo Ruoxi adjusted her breathing and explained.

"Father?"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

No wonder he always felt that the blood in the pendant was similar to Luo Ruoxi's, yet different; it turned out to be her father's.

This also explained why the intent left behind by the Undying Monarch recognized him as its master immediately upon seeing the pendant.

"Is your father also a Monarch? Or does he possess strength surpassing a Monarch?"

He couldn't help but ask.

The library was in chaos, and it was the blood in the pendant that allowed him to recover his clarity. Could it be that not only was she a Monarch, but her father was too, and even more powerful?

If that were the case, why would he be in a coma?

And why would he need the Heaven's Path Defects to wake him up?

"He is not a Monarch, but... the Heaven's Path!"

Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists.

"The Heaven's Path? Your father... is the Heaven's Path?" Zhang Xuan was shocked, unable to believe it.

"Yes! Fifty years ago, my father couldn't resist that giant hand and fell into a coma. The Heaven's Path shattered into three parts. The Heaven's Path Order and Heaven's Path Defects entered the spatial turbulence, and I took over the Heaven's Path Nature to maintain the balance of the God World. To make him recover, only by collecting the scattered parts... that's why I was so determined, I couldn't fail! That's why I specifically entered the Master Teacher Continent to study the Spring and Autumn Annals, trying to find a way to defeat Kong Shi! The favor I asked of him when I fought Kong Shi was also this."

Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

Not long after he first met her on the Master Teacher Continent, the girl before him had told him her story, that she wanted to save a close relative. He hadn't understood then, but now he suddenly realized.

It was actually her father, and he was the Heaven's Path of the God World!

Can the Heaven's Path really take on a human form and have children?

"Taking over the Heaven's Path Nature... you don't have Heaven's Path fragments in your body?" Suddenly realizing the discrepancy in her words, Zhang Xuan looked over.

Taking over is a different concept from the fusion he had in his body.

"I only control it; I am not a part of the Heaven's Path..." Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, he only needed to strip out the Heaven's Path Defects in his body, and it didn't require her to die as well.

Although he didn't want to accept this fate, he also didn't want the girl before him to be harmed.

"If I strip out the Heaven's Path Defects in my body, your father will be able to wake up, and even kill the Ruthless Man, right?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"This... I'm not sure either..."

Looking up at the collapsed God World, Luo Ruoxi hesitated.

The God World is her father's foundation, and now that the foundation is like this, even if he wakes up, can he really defeat that powerful Ruthless Man?

It's hard to say!

"It seems you can't be sure either. Since that's the case, it's better to rely on ourselves than on others... we have to think of a way ourselves!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth: "You, me, the clone, united with the Nine Heavens and Nine Monarchs, if we cooperate with Kong Shi, we might not be unable to win!"

"Kong Shi? He..." Luo Ruoxi frowned.

"Kong Shi is already dead, right! He hasn't truly died. If I'm not mistaken, his being killed by you was just a method to break away from the Heaven's Path... if nothing goes wrong, he should be like Wei Changfeng, a 【Natural Fetal Soul Body】!"

Zhang Xuan said.

Seeing Wei Changfeng, he understood. Kong Shi's so-called maintaining of intelligence should be the same as his, a Natural Fetal Soul Body.

He could achieve clarity in the womb.

Added to the backup plan he had prepared in advance, resurrection was just a matter of time.

Luo Ruoxi was stunned; it seemed she hadn't expected it to be like this.

"We'll know once we go over and take a look. If I'm not wrong, he should have already recovered; otherwise, those students of his couldn't have failed to go to the Tidal Sea..." Zhang Xuan said.

Those students of Kong Shi, such as Zi Yuan Ancient Sage, were all powerful. Even without the help of a Monarch, they would definitely have a way to enter the Tidal Sea, yet not a single one was seen.

There must be something more important waiting, something they wanted to do while all the Monarchs were in the Tidal Sea and unable to attend to other things!

And this important thing was clearly letting Kong Shi recover.

"This..." Luo Ruoxi's heart shook, and she suddenly realized.

"Let's go!"

Without further explanation, Zhang Xuan slashed with one hand, and he arrived at the place where Kong Shi lived. Sure enough, he saw an old man floating cross-legged in the air. Seeing them arrive, he smiled slightly: "You're here!"

Who else could it be but Kong Shi!

This teacher of ten thousand generations really didn't disappoint him!

Just as he had guessed, he had resurrected while everyone's attention was focused on the Tidal Sea.

"You..." Luo Ruoxi's delicate body shook.

She knew that a Monarch could be resurrected, and the Undying Monarch had also come back to life, but... she hadn't expected the speed to be so fast!

"I hid from the Heaven's Path and prepared a backup plan in advance. The giant without a name in the Ghost Pool was what I left behind. When you killed me that day, I took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the Heaven's Path and re-condense my physical body. I've only just recovered now!"

Kong Shi smiled slightly.

He was proficient in time abilities. It seemed like only a day or two had passed in the God World, but in reality, he had experienced an unknown amount of time to recover his strength.

Several decades had passed.

"The strength of the three of us is very strong, but wanting to defeat the Ruthless Man is not that easy..."

Seeing that Kong Shi had indeed recovered, Luo Ruoxi still shook her head.

It wasn't that she was boosting the enemy's morale and destroying her own ambition, but it was the truth.

So many people united just now and didn't block the opponent; even if they added a Kong Shi, what could they do?

It still wouldn't change the situation!

"Our individual strength, or even united together, is indeed not the opponent's match, but... what if we fuse everyone's power into one person?"

Kong Shi looked over with a smile.

"Fuse into one person?"

This time, not only Luo Ruoxi frowned, but Zhang Xuan was also full of doubt.

"That palm could tear the God World and shatter the Heaven's Path; its strength is beyond doubt. The Ruthless Man absorbed all this power and swallowed the spiritual energy of the God World for fifty years. In terms of strength alone, the dozen or so of us Monarchs, taken individually, are indeed not his match..."

Kong Shi said: "But united together, concentrating the power on one person... that might not be the case!"

"How to concentrate?"

Luo Ruoxi looked over.

It's easy to say, but hard to do.

Monarchs already stand at the very peak of the God World. If it were so easy to absorb other people's power, she wouldn't have been stagnant for so many years.

"Very simple... we concentrate the power on our bodies onto Zhang Xuan. Once he can break through the shackles of a Monarch, he can save the God World!"

Kong Shi said.

"Me?" Zhang Xuan was stunned: "Why me?"

"Lingxi Monarch cultivates freedom and transcendence of nature! But with the constraints of father and Heaven's Path, and with people to worry about, you can never truly transcend! If I'm not mistaken, when you fought me, you also gave up, intending to be killed by me, right!"

Kong Shi said.

Luo Ruoxi couldn't speak.

During the fight, she did indeed have that intention, so when the two of them fought, at the beginning, they each held back, like a sparring match, not a life-and-death struggle.

"Unable to transcend, naturally you can't unleash your strongest power. Even if you are given more true qi, you still can't impact that supreme realm! As for me..."

Kong Shi nodded and said: "I care for the common people and want to save the world, but I'm unwilling to let others sacrifice themselves for me. Too much benevolence is also a flaw! If I had been more ruthless and exterminated the Otherworldly Demon tribe, we wouldn't be in this situation today..."

If he had been able to exterminate all the Otherworldly Demons back then, the Ruthless Man wouldn't have been able to resurrect, and there wouldn't be the current situation.

"Therefore, I am also not suitable! And Zhang Xuan, his cultivation technique follows his heart, without flaws. He emphasizes living for himself; even if he dies, as long as he lives without regrets, his heart is open and honest. This kind of person possesses greater tolerance and greater room for development. Only in this way can he go higher and further!"

Kong Shi continued.

In life, I shall return; in death, I shall long for you!

If he doesn't even care about death, how could he be constrained by other things?

"This..." Zhang Xuan frowned and was about to say something when he saw Kong Shi looking over with burning eyes: "No need to decline. First, there's no time to cultivate others, and even if there were, I don't think anyone could do better than you! Although Lingxi Monarch doesn't have Heaven's Path fragments in her body, she has controlled the Heaven's Path for many years and has her own understanding of it. I control the Heaven's Path Order. If we pour our power into you, your body will possess the power of the complete Heaven's Path! Combined with the clone's Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, you can fully achieve the ability to stabilize the Nine Heavens, control the universe, fight the nine heavens, and destroy all things!"

"Alright!"

Seeing that the other party had already made a decision, he knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless, so Zhang Xuan nodded.

Boom!

Sitting cross-legged, in the blink of an eye, two powerful forces surged in from both sides.

Zhang Xuan's whole body stiffened, and he felt as if he had instantly transformed into the Heaven's Path, soaring above the nine heavens.

His soul, physical body, and true qi were all baptized in an instant, becoming stronger and more powerful.

"You want to stop me too? Fine, I'll kill you all, and then go kill Zhang Xuan..."

Slapping Luo Qiqi, the clone, and the others away, the Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

The power unleashed by the clone and the many Monarchs united was indeed very powerful, but compared to him, it was still a bit weak.

The Tidal Sea had swallowed almost all the spiritual energy in the God World outside the cities. Now, all this power had become his nourishment. With every move, he carried the ability to destroy the heavens and earth. These Monarchs and God Kings, although representing the peak of the God World, were still vulnerable.

At this moment, the Ruthless Man seemed to represent the entire God World, and no one could stop him.

"The God World is destroyed, and there's no meaning in us living. I, Yun Chi, will perish with you..."

Emperor Yun Chi transformed into his true form, a huge five-clawed golden dragon, and pounced on him from the air.

"Just you? You're not worthy!"

The Ruthless Man pinched his palm, and the golden dragon hung in his palm, unable to escape no matter how it struggled.

"Old friend, wait for me!"

Emperor Fu Meng also let out a loud shout, transformed into his white tiger true form, and arrived in front of him from the air.

The Undying Monarch revealed his Undying Fire Phoenix true form, the flames illuminating the sky.

Emperor Xuan Ming's true form was a large turtle, as if supporting the heavens.

The four great divine beasts, guarding the four poles of the God World, transformed into their true forms at the same time, and the collapsing God World slowed down.

The universe seemed to be fixed in an instant.

Bang bang bang bang!

With four consecutive slaps, the Ruthless Man suppressed the four beasts, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill your wish..."

Amidst the roar, just as he was about to deal a fatal blow and wipe everyone out, he felt his raised arm tighten and stop in mid-air.

"Want to kill them? Did you ask me first..."

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, a figure walked out slowly from the air.

It was Zhang Xuan!

At this moment, the young man's whole body was surging with power, more than ten times stronger than before. Coming from the sky, it was as if he himself was a world.

"You've improved quite a bit..."

The Ruthless Man stopped, his gaze solemn.

He clearly didn't understand why the other party's strength had changed so drastically in just a few minutes.

"However, so what if you've increased? Even the God World at its peak couldn't block me. I don't believe you can block me..."

With a cold snort, the Ruthless Man slapped down again.

Zhang Xuan raised his long sword and met him.

The two sides fought together, space tearing apart, air currents rushing everywhere.

"Can Zhang Xuan win?"

At Kong Shi's residence in Zizai Heaven, Luo Ruoxi looked over with worry.

She and Kong Shi had passed their power to Zhang Xuan, and their own cultivation had dropped to the God King level, not as brilliant as before.

However, the level was there; as long as there was enough power, one day, they could recover.

"With his current strength, wanting to win... is very difficult! Unless... he can comprehend power that surpasses a Monarch!"

After a moment of silence, Kong Shi said.

More than a dozen Monarchs united couldn't defeat the Ruthless Man; even if they passed all their power to the other party, wanting to win wasn't that easy.

The reason for doing this was because... only when power is concentrated on one person is it possible to touch it, and it is possible to truly surpass the limit and break through oneself!

"Power that surpasses a Monarch?"

Luo Ruoxi's eyes were distant.

When her father was still awake, he had said the same thing to her, but... she couldn't do it. Could the man she loved do it?

"He definitely can... he has an unyielding heart! And pride in this world."

Seeing the doubt in her heart, Kong Shi smiled.

Bang bang bang!

After a few consecutive moves, the web between Zhang Xuan's thumb and forefinger split, and a huge, hideous, and terrifying wound appeared on his chest.

Just as Kong Shi said, even after fusing the power of the two of them and forming a complete Heaven's Path in his body, he was still no match.

"Haha, I thought you were how powerful, but you're just so-so!" The Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

"Anyway, I'm not your match and will be killed sooner or later. Since that's the case, I want to die under your strongest attack..." Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan stopped, no longer attacking, but instead looked at the Ruthless Man before him.

"Good, I'll fulfill your wish and give you the strongest attack..."

Hearing him say this, the Ruthless Man was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and raised his palm.

Clatter!

A green light appeared in his palm and slapped down fiercely.

It was indeed the strongest attack. The entire God World roared, as if it couldn't bear it, and another huge pit was beaten out.

With his eyes closed, Zhang Xuan didn't dodge.

Bang!

His head exploded, and his soul scattered everywhere.

"Zhang Xuan..." Seeing this scene, everyone's face turned pale.

Luo Qiqi was like a madwoman.

Emperor Yun Chi and the others also widened their eyes, trembling continuously.

Kong Shi and Luo Ruoxi, who saw this scene, were also stunned.

The original intention was to let him break through the shackles and impact the realm beyond the Monarch realm. Why didn't he resist and willingly go to his death?

Wouldn't this live up to their good intentions?

"No, it's the Undying Monarch's Undying Method..."

While wondering, Kong Shi suddenly spoke.

Everyone then saw that Zhang Xuan, whose head had exploded and whose soul had even shattered, had the pendant on his chest suddenly explode. A drop of blood floated up, burned, and formed a hot flame. In the flame, an intact figure walked out slowly.

"He... used the opponent's power and the blood in the pendant to separate the Heaven's Path Defects from his soul?"

Luo Ruoxi's pupils contracted.

After being reborn from the fire, Zhang Xuan no longer had the Heaven's Path Library in his body, no longer had the interference of the Heaven's Path, and had broken away from the Heaven's Path!

"How did he do it?"

Kong Shi was also full of disbelief.

The Heaven's Path and the soul are fused together, indistinguishable from each other. To break away, he had to let his soul scatter and use the Ghost Pool to re-condense his soul.

This person before him was only killed once and completely broke away. What method did he use?

"I know... he used the Ruthless Man's method of breaking away from the soul contract..." Luo Ruoxi realized.

The soul contract binds the master and servant. If the master doesn't dissolve it, the servant will always be controlled... The Heaven's Path Library is also like this; it can be said to be an enhanced version of a contract.

It binds the soul, and it won't break away unless one dies.

But... the Ruthless Man used that special power to break away from the soul contract. Zhang Xuan had asked about the specific method in detail before, so he probably had the idea then.

That's why he deliberately risked his life, letting him unleash his strongest power to attack him.

Using this power, he was reborn from the fire. He didn't expect that he would actually succeed!

"So that's how it is; this is the method to break through to Monarch..."

Zhang Xuan, who walked out of the fire, had a faint smile on his face, as if he understood something. He suddenly waved his hand, and the clone on the side immediately turned back into a lotus flower and flew over.

In an instant, it fused perfectly with himself.

In the blink of an eye, everyone felt that the Zhang Xuan before them seemed to have become the Nine Heavens, and he was the Nine Heavens.

He stepped lightly on the ground.

The chaotic Nine Heavens immediately stabilized.

The Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus appeared when the Nine Heavens were born and could stabilize the Nine Heavens. At this moment, the clone and self fused perfectly, indistinguishable from each other, which meant he controlled this power.

Not only that, having fused with the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his realm, which had already reached the peak, loosened, and it seemed he would break through at any time.

"Master-servant love, brotherly love, teacher-student love, parental love, romantic love... fused together, it turns out to be all things in the world. This is what it means to be human!"

With a smile, Zhang Xuan muttered to himself.

The moment the Heaven's Path Library broke away from his soul, he understood.

Is it that humans see the world and then there is a world, or is it that there is a world first and then humans?

Is it the wind moving, or the heart moving!

This question has troubled countless people for ages.

Of course, now... these are no longer important!

Without life, without emotion, even if the world exists, what is the meaning?

Therefore, after breaking through romantic love, it is the love of all living things! It is the emotion that intertwines the world.

All things in the world have emotions. Only with emotion is there a world, and only with emotion can life continue.

Love is emotion.

Hatred is emotion.

Happiness is emotion.

Pain is emotion.

Parting is emotion.

Reunion is also emotion!

"Ten thousand emotions, used by me..."

With a low shout, the realm that had been shackled in Zhang Xuan's body instantly broke open.

The Monarch shackles were broken!

In an instant, it was as if he had touched a brand-new world and door, and his soul was rapidly nourished.

Countless chaotic qi surged over, and his physical body also improved rapidly.

Before, he could only improve by absorbing spiritual power, but now, spatial turbulence, chaotic qi, and even the opponent's green light could all be his, indistinguishable from each other.

"You..." The Ruthless Man didn't expect that his full-strength attack not only didn't kill him but instead fulfilled him. He was so angry that he "wa-wa!" yelled, and with a roar, he attacked again.

"You resent the high-and-mighty Monarch for not saving you in the spatial turbulence; that is emotion. You feel that you were once my servant, containing humbleness and anger; that is emotion. You want to destroy the God World to vent your anger; that is emotion. You want to become more powerful; that is also emotion... Emotions control you, so how can you defeat me and not be controlled by me?"

With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan's voice became faster and louder, and he grabbed lightly with his palm.

The Ruthless Man, who was originally invincible, was bound together by countless emotional threads, unable to move.

As long as there is emotion, it will be used by him and controlled by him!

"You..."

The Ruthless Man's eyes were full of fear: "Teacher Zhang, I am your servant, don't kill me... I am willing to offer a soul sacrifice..."

"It's too late to say these things now..." With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Controlling the emotions of the world, things like servants no longer had any meaning to him.

Having killed so many people in the God World and hurt his girlfriend, Luo Qiqi, and so many friends, how could he forgive him today!

"No..."

Feeling his decisiveness, the Ruthless Man's pupils contracted. Before he could finish speaking, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his body.

Bang!

In an instant, he exploded and turned into countless spiritual energy, pouring into all parts of the God World.

All the power that the Tidal Sea had swallowed before was now fed back, and the barren wilderness that had dried up regained its vitality.

"This..."

"Killed just like that?"

Emperor Yun Chi, the Undying Monarch, Fairy Linglong, and the others all widened their eyes, unable to believe it.

They had just fought the Ruthless Man and knew how terrifying he was. Such a powerful person was destroyed so easily. To what extent had this Zhang Xuan... reached?

Could it be that there is really another realm above the Monarch?

"He succeeded..."

Kong Shi and Luo Ruoxi loosened their clenched fists.

"This is a part of the Heaven's Path, so I will return it to the Heaven's Path now..."

Seeing the "Heaven's Path Defects" that had been separated from his body still floating in the air, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and flicked his finger.

Hum!

The library that had accompanied him since his rebirth was embedded in the sky of the God World with a bang.

With a bell-like chime, the God World that was constantly collapsing began to recover slowly, and the chaotic air currents gathered again.

The collapsing God World finally stopped, and the withered spiritual energy slowly revived along with the death of the Ruthless Man.

"It seems the God World is about to welcome the era of spiritual energy revival again..." Zhang Xuan smiled.

The hole in the Tidal Sea had recovered along with the completion of the Heaven's Path. It was only a matter of time before the God World returned to its former glory.

"Zhang Xuan, come here..."

Just after doing this, a voice rang in his mind. Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment and took a step forward.

This step flew an unknown distance, and then he saw a young man standing before him.

It was the one who had taught him the sword technique before.

"Senior, you..."

Seeing it was him, Zhang Xuan was stunned.

He had felt that this person was unfathomable before, but now he realized that compared to himself, he was only a hair's breadth away. He had already reached the peak of the Monarch, and was much more powerful than the Luo Ruoxi from before.

"Just call me by my name. My name is... Nie Tong!" The young man exuded an indomitable sword intent and said faintly.

"Nie Tong?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

It was the first time he had heard this name.

"Follow me, I'll take you to see my brother!" The young man named Nie Tong smiled and stepped forward.

Zhang Xuan followed closely behind. After flying an unknown distance, they stopped in front of a mountain peak.

Then he saw another young man.

His appearance was not much older than his, his eyebrows raised, giving people a feeling of profoundness that could not be seen through.

"This strength..." Zhang Xuan trembled.

The strength of the young man before him was actually even more powerful than his. He had also broken through the shackles of the Monarch, and his cultivation was even more profound and heavy!

"I am Nie Yun!" The young man smiled faintly and looked over: "That is... Nie Lingxi, the father of Luo Ruoxi, as you call her!"

"Ruoxi's father?"

Zhang Xuan was shocked: "You... are the Heaven's Path of the God World?"

Luo Ruoxi had said before that her father was the Heaven's Path. He never imagined it would be such a young man.

"I transformed into the Heaven's Path with one breath and three purities! Besides, this world was created by me, so it's not wrong to say I am the Heaven's Path!" Nie Yun smiled faintly.

Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

The God World was actually created by this person?

Then how strong must his strength be?

"No, if the God World was created by you and you are the Heaven's Path, why did you let the Ruthless Man run wild without taking action..." Zhang Xuan looked over.

If he hadn't broken through, the God World would have likely collapsed completely. Why did this person before him not care?

Why did he not even care about his daughter's life or death?

Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over faintly: "Do you think... there are more powerful lives above the God World?"

"This..." Zhang Xuan paused: "There should be..."

Although he hadn't seen them, since he could cultivate to this realm, perhaps others could too, or even be stronger.

Just like the person before him.

"I once suspected that there would be more powerful lives above the God World, so I used all my strength to peek, and eventually attracted the backlash of a higher world... a palm broke through the air!"

Nie Yun looked over: "If I had dodged at that time, it's very likely that the entire God World would have been wiped out, and there would be no life left... so I blocked this move, but because of this, the Heaven's Path I transformed into was split apart."

"In this situation, I wanted to recover, which was just a matter of intent, but... I understood that if I wanted to truly transcend the shackles of the God World and explore where the palm came from, and what was outside the God World... it would be very difficult to do it alone. So, I wanted to see if there was any life that could break through the shackles of the Monarch and reach the same level as me!"

"So, I sent the scattered Heaven's Path intent to the lowest level of the world... and bestowed them upon a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you, in the end, didn't disappoint me!"

Nie Yun smiled.

"A soul that doesn't belong to this world. In that case, my transmigration was also because of you?" Zhang Xuan's heart shook.

No wonder he was able to transmigrate here. He didn't expect it was all done by this person.

"Haha!" Nie Yun smiled lightly and said: "Those who originally belong to this world have awe for the world, so the difficulty of breaking through the shackles of the world is much greater. I just had a thought, and didn't expect that you would really succeed..."

"I..." Zhang Xuan's face flushed: "If it weren't for Kong Shi, I would never have been able to reach this point..."

Without Kong Shi's selfless dedication, wanting to reach his current realm would have been impossible.

"I gave him the opportunity, but he didn't grasp it. The fight with Lingxi was actually the best opportunity for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking he had left a backup plan and could retreat unscathed. In reality, he lost his courage to advance. Facing someone who surpasses us, if you don't even have this spirit, how can you contend with them?"

Nie Yun said.

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

He had seen the fight between the two of them at the time, and Kong Shi was indeed a bit indecisive.

It's also possible that he didn't want to kill Luo Ruoxi.

Unfortunately, in that moment of hesitation, he missed the opportunity to advance.

"If Kong Shi won, Ruoxi would die..." After a moment, Zhang Xuan looked over, his eyebrows furrowed.

Could it be that this person didn't even care about his daughter's life or death?

"With me here, she won't die..." Nie Yun smiled faintly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think that in a life-and-death moment, if you want to save someone, can you do it?"
