Chapter 1198: 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, they cannot resolve it.
Just like the Undying Monarch, the little yellow chicken; previously, it was only a God King, and he was a Monarch, yet he also had no way to resolve such an agreement.
To prevent this guy from going back on his word and causing a backlash, the Master Teacher Continent specifically decreed that even if the other party could break free from the Book of Heaven's Path, they could not break free from the agreement between souls!
"A 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 place where the contract resides, it can be done!"
The Ruthless Man said.
A soul contract is established on the foundation of the Heaven's Path. If a special power can even dissolve the Heaven's Path of the God Realm, what is the difficulty in dissolving a soul contract, provided it is handled properly?
"So that's how it is..." Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.
"Speaking so much with you can be considered thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"
After explaining, the Ruthless Man said no more. The aura on his body became increasingly ancient and distant, and the black hole behind him became even larger. Clearly, while talking, 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 make a move!" With his doubts dispelled, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand suddenly rose: "Since that's the case, let's see who is truly stronger in a real fight!"
Boom!
The most powerful sword intent was unleashed once again.
In life, I will return; in death, I will long for you!
If one does not care about life or death, what can stop them?
Although this sword technique had not reached the Monarch's level of comprehension, it contained all the obsessions in his heart, pushing the 'Heaven Has Feelings' cultivation technique within his body to the limit.
Whoosh!
With one sword strike, he slashed the Ruthless Man's attack in two.
At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made her move, her jade hands rolling, the sword light like snow.
Her sword technique was somewhat similar to that young man from the Sword God Heaven, carrying an indomitable momentum and the ease of the Great Dao of Nature.
"Your moves are indeed powerful, but compared to me, they are still lacking..."
With a light smile, the Ruthless Man reached down again.
In an instant, the sky was covered; the palm shrouded the heavens and the earth, space shattered, and it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars were about to be forcibly struck down.
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 withstand it!
What kind of realm had this guy reached?
"Presumptuous!" The clone stepped forward with large strides. With every step taken, lotus flowers bloomed, and the sound of flowing water accompanied the void.
Looking from afar, it was full of pretentiousness.
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 withstand a single move.
Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.
Even after becoming a Monarch, the clone still hadn't changed his pretentious nature...
Such flashy posturing would be better off concentrating the power; the might would be even greater!
"Attack together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die..."
The little yellow chicken shouted loudly, crimson flames burning, and the sky seemed to be ignited. The remaining six great Monarchs also each displayed their means.
The seven Monarchs united, destroying the heavens and the earth; a side of the world could not withstand it in front of them, but the opponent was the 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 great Monarchs, united together, actually didn't withstand 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 the strength of a Monarch?"
Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.
This old man had originally followed behind the young man, 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 powerhouse!
If he was a Monarch, then what was 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..." Luo Ruoxi had just wanted to answer when space twisted, and then she saw this Monarch of the Sword God Heaven also sent flying backward, landing not far away and smashing into a large pit.
Zhang Xuan's current strength and comprehension of the sword path were far beyond his, and even he couldn't contend with it. Even though his cultivation was not weak and his swordsmanship was brilliant, he was still no match.
"Haha, Monarchs, just a bunch of rabble! Today I will destroy the Nine Heavens, destroy this God Realm, and trample all rules flat!"
Defeating the Monarch of the Sword God Heaven, the Ruthless Man laughed crazily, the surrounding space constantly collapsing, 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 both unleashed their strongest combat power, and even Luo Ruoxi had used her strongest moves, yet they hadn't withstood a single move from the opponent...
Could it be that in the God Realm, there really was no one who could stop this person?
Just let him destroy the world?
"The only way... is to return your 'Heaven's Path with Defects' to the Heaven's Path itself, letting the Heaven's Path suppress him..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists, her eyes reddening.
"Return to the Heaven's Path itself?" Zhang Xuan understood 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 was just like the human immune system.
If the immune system is complete, when a virus comes, it is easily driven away; if it is broken, it cannot resist the virus's invasion, and no matter how strong a person is, they 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 tiger?
No matter how strong the immune system is, what can it do?
This person before them was only an ordinary God King, and even if he were titled, the Heaven's Path could easily kill him, but he was even more powerful than a Monarch... he was already beyond what the Heaven's Path could contend with.
"This..." Luo Ruoxi paused for a moment, a look of disappointment appearing on her fair jade face: "That's right... there's no way to 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 coldly and pressed down.
Bang!
Luo Ruoxi fell from the sky.
"You..." Zhang Xuan unleashed his sword technique again, the sword intent shining brilliantly.
Ding ding ding!
Once again blocked by the Ruthless Man.
"You guys go quickly; I'll block him..."
Knowing that they were thinking of a way to save the God Realm rather than escaping, the clone and the Undying Monarch shouted and blocked in front. Luo Qiqi also transformed, returning to her original form as the Jingkong Pearl.
The surrounding space solidified.
"Go!"
Seeing everyone fighting desperately to block behind, unafraid of death, Zhang Xuan's eyes turned red. However, he also knew that now was not the time to say more. Pulling 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 Realm 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 Realm, 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 had 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 had immediately recognized him as its master 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 regain clarity. Could it be that not only was she a Monarch, but her father was too, and even more powerful?
If that was the case, why would he be in a coma?
And why would it need the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' to wake him up?
"He is not a Monarch, but... the Heaven's Path!"
Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists.
"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 withstand that giant hand and fell into a coma. The Heaven's Path collapsed into three parts. The 'Heaven's Path with Order' and 'Heaven's Path with Defects' entered the spatial turbulence, and I took over controlling the 'Heaven's Path of Nature' to maintain the balance of the God Realm. To make him recover, only by collecting the scattered parts... that's why I was so determined and 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! When I fought Kong Shi, the favor I asked of him 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, saying 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 Realm!
Can the Heaven's Path really take on a human form and have children?
"Taking over controlling the Heaven's Path of Nature... in your body, there are no Heaven's Path fragments?" Suddenly realizing the discrepancy in her words, Zhang Xuan looked over.
Taking over control and the kind of fusion in his own body were two different concepts.... "I only control it; I am not a part of the Heaven's Path..." Luo Ruoxi said.
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Put this way, he only needed to strip out the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' from his body; 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 with Defects' from my body, your father can come back to life, and even kill the Ruthless Man, right?" Zhang Xuan looked over.
"This... I'm not sure either..."
Looking up at the collapsed God Realm, Luo Ruoxi hesitated.
The God Realm was her father's foundation, and now that the foundation was like this, even if he woke up, could he really defeat that powerful Ruthless Man?
It was hard to say!
"It seems you can't be sure either. Since that's the case, it's better to rely on oneself than on others... we have to find 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 necessarily lose!"
"Kong Shi? He..." Luo Ruoxi frowned.
"Kong Shi is already dead, right! He hasn't truly died. If I'm not mistaken, him being killed by you was just a method to break free from the Heaven's Path... if nothing goes wrong, he should be like Wei Changfeng, a 【Congenital Fetal Soul Body】!"
Zhang Xuan said.
Seeing Wei Changfeng, he understood. Kong Shi's so-called maintaining of spiritual wisdom should be the same as his, a Congenital Fetal Soul Body.
It can achieve no confusion in the womb.
Added to the backup plan left in advance, resurrection was only a matter of time.
Luo Ruoxi was stunned, as if she hadn't expected it to be like this.
"Just go and see, and you'll know. 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 Ziyuan Ancient Sage, were all powerful. Even without the help of Monarchs, they would definitely have a way to enter the Tidal Sea, yet not a single one was seen.
There must be more important things waiting, wanting to take advantage of the time when all the Monarchs went to the Tidal Sea and were unable to pay attention!
And this important thing was clearly letting Kong Shi recover.
"This..." Luo Ruoxi was shocked, suddenly realizing.
"Let's go!"
Without further explanation, Zhang Xuan slashed with one hand and returned to 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 had indeed not disappointed him!
Just as he had guessed, taking advantage of everyone focusing their attention on the Tidal Sea, he had resurrected.
"You..." Luo Ruoxi's delicate body shook.
She knew that Monarchs could resurrect, 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 have 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 Realm, but in reality, to recover his strength, he had experienced an unknown amount of time.
Several decades of time 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 about inflating others' prestige and destroying one's own ambition, but the truth.
Just now, so many people united and didn't block the opponent. Even adding a Kong Shi, what could it 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 smiled and looked over.
"Fuse into one person?"
This time, not only Luo Ruoxi frowned, but Zhang Xuan was also full of doubts.
"That palm could tear the God Realm and scatter the Heaven's Path; its strength is unquestionable. The Ruthless Man absorbed all this power and swallowed fifty years of spiritual energy from the God Realm. Based on strength alone, our dozen or so 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 was easy to say, but hard to do.
Monarchs were already standing at the peak of the God Realm. If it were so easy to absorb others' 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 Monarch shackles, he can save the God Realm!"
Kong Shi said.
"Me?" Zhang Xuan was stunned: "Why me?"
"Lingxi Monarch cultivates freedom and transcendence of nature! But with the constraints of a father and the Heaven's Path, and people to worry about, one 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 one cannot unleash the strongest power. Even if given more true Qi, one still cannot 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 don't want others to sacrifice for me. Too much kindness is also a flaw! If I had been more ruthless and exterminated the Otherworldly Demon tribe, there wouldn't be the current situation..."
If he had been able to exterminate all the Otherworldly Demons back then, the Ruthless Man couldn't have resurrected, and there wouldn't be the current situation.
"Therefore, I am also not suitable! And Zhang Xuan, his cultivation is smooth, without flaws. He emphasizes living out his true self. Even if he dies, as long as he lives without regrets, his heart is open. 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 will return; in death, I will long for you!
If one doesn't even care about death, how can they be shackled 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. 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 years and has her own understanding of it; I control the 'Heaven's Path with Order'. If we pour our power into you, your body will possess the power of the complete Heaven's Path! Cooperating with the clone's Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, you can completely settle 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, explaining more was 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.
Soul, physical body, and true Qi were all baptized in an instant, becoming stronger and more powerful.
"You also want to stop me? Fine, kill you, and then go kill Zhang Xuan..."
Sending Luo Qiqi and the clone flying, the Ruthless Man smiled coldly.
The power unleashed by the clone and the many Monarchs united was indeed very strong, but compared to him, it was still a bit weak.
The Tidal Sea had swallowed almost all the spiritual energy in the God Realm outside the cities. Now, these forces had all become his nourishment. With every gesture, he carried the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth. These Monarchs and God Kings, although representing the peak of the God Realm, were still vulnerable.
At this moment, the Ruthless Man seemed to represent the entire God Realm, and no one could stop him.
"The God Realm is destroyed; there's no point in us living. I, Yun Chi, will perish with you..."
Emperor Yun Chi transformed into his original form, a huge five-clawed golden dragon, and pounced on him from the air.
"Just you? Not worthy!"
The Ruthless Man pinched his palm, and the golden dragon hung in his palm, struggling in vain, unable to escape.
"Old friend, wait for me!"
Emperor Fu Meng also roared, transformed into his white tiger original form, and arrived in front from the air.
The Undying Monarch, the Undying Fire Phoenix original form, appeared, flames illuminating the sky.
Emperor Xuan Ming, his original form was a large turtle, as if supporting the heavens.
The four great divine beasts, guarding the four poles of the God Realm, simultaneously transformed into their original forms, and the collapsing God Realm 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 roaring, just as he was about to kill everyone, he felt his raised arm tighten and stop in the air.
"Want to kill them, have you asked me..."
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, as if he himself were a world.
"Improved quite a bit..."
The Ruthless Man stopped, his eyes solemn.
He clearly didn't understand why, in just a few minutes, the other party's strength had changed so drastically.
"However, what if it increased? Even the God Realm in its prime couldn't withstand it. I don't believe you can withstand me..."
With a cold snort, the Ruthless Man slapped down again.
Zhang Xuan raised his long sword and met him.
The two fought together, space tearing one after another, 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 the power was sufficient, one day, they could recover.... "With his current strength, wanting to win... is very difficult! Unless... he can comprehend power surpassing a Monarch!"
After a moment of silence, Kong Shi said.
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 surpassing 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 several consecutive moves, the web between Zhang Xuan's thumb and index finger cracked, 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, thought you were so powerful, but that's all!" 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.
"Fine, I'll fulfill your wish and give you my strongest attack..."
Hearing him say this, the Ruthless Man was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and raised his palm.
Whoosh!
A green light appeared in his palm and slammed down.
It was indeed the strongest attack. The entire God Realm roared, as if it couldn't bear it, and another huge pit was struck 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 turned pale.
Luo Qiqi was like a madwoman.
Emperor Yun Chi and the others also widened their eyes, trembling constantly.
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..."
Just as he was 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 ball of scorching flames. In the flames, an intact figure walked out slowly.
"He... used the opponent's power and the blood in the pendant to separate the 'Heaven's Path with 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 free from the Heaven's Path!
"How did he do it?"
Kong Shi was also full of disbelief.
The Heaven's Path and the soul were fused together, inseparable. To break free, he had to have his soul scattered and use the Ghost Pool to re-condense his soul.
This person before him was only killed once and completely broke free. What method did he use?
"I know... he used the method the Ruthless Man used to break free from the soul contract..." Luo Ruoxi realized.... The soul contract binds the master and the servant. If the master doesn't dissolve it, the servant is always 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 free unless one dies.
But... the Ruthless Man used that special power to break free from the soul contract. Zhang Xuan had asked about the specific method in detail before. Perhaps he had already had thoughts at that time.
That's why he deliberately fought to the death, letting him unleash his strongest power to attack him.
Using this power to be reborn from the fire, he didn't expect it to be a great success!
"So that's it; this is the method to break through to the Monarch realm..."
Zhang Xuan, who walked out of the flames, had a faint smile on his face, as if he understood something. Suddenly, he beckoned, 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 the Nine Heavens were him.
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 time, the clone and the self fused perfectly, inseparable, 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 affection, brotherly affection, teacher-student affection, parental affection, romantic affection... 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 detached from his soul, he understood.
Is it that humans see the world, and then there is a world, or is it that there was a world first, and then there were 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 affection, it is the affection for 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. Only with emotion can life continue.
Love is emotion.
Hatred is emotion.
Happiness is emotion.
Pain is emotion.
Parting is emotion.
Gathering is also emotion!
"Ten thousand emotions, used by me..."
With a low cry, the realm shackled in Zhang Xuan's body instantly broke open.
The Monarch shackles, broken!
In an instant, it was as if he touched a brand-new world and gate, and his soul was quickly 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, inseparable.
"You..." The Ruthless Man didn't expect that his full-force attack not only didn't kill him but instead fulfilled him. He was so angry that he "wa-wa!" screamed, and with a roar, he attacked again.
"You resent the high-and-mighty Monarch for not saving yourself in the spatial turbulence; that is emotion. Feeling that you were once my servant, containing humbleness and anger; that is emotion. Wanting to destroy the God Realm to vent your anger; that is emotion. Wanting 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 shackled 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 panic: "Teacher Zhang, I am your servant, don't kill me... I am willing to sacrifice my soul..."
"It's too late to say these things now..." With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Controlling the emotions of the world, servants and the like had no meaning to him anymore.
Having killed so many people in the God Realm, hurt his girlfriend, Luo Qiqi, and so many friends, how could he forgive him today!
"No..."
Feeling his determination, the Ruthless Man's pupils contracted. Before he finished speaking, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his body.
Bang!
In an instant, he exploded, turning into countless spiritual energy, surging to all parts of the God Realm.
All the power that the Tidal Sea had swallowed before was now fed back, and the withered wilderness regained its vitality.
"This..."
"Killed just like that?"
Emperor Yun Chi, the Undying Monarch, Fairy Linglong, and others all widened their eyes, unable to believe it.
They had fought the Ruthless Man just now and knew how terrifying he was. Such a powerful person was destroyed so easily. This Zhang Xuan... what level had he reached?
Could it be that there really is 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 with Defects" that had been separated from his body still floating in the air, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and flicked his finger.
Hum!
The library that had accompanied him since his rebirth was embedded in the sky of the God Realm.
With a bell-like sound, the God Realm, which was constantly collapsing, slowly recovered visibly to the naked eye, and the chaotic air currents gathered again.
The collapsing God Realm finally stopped, and the withered spiritual energy slowly revived with the death of the Ruthless Man.
"It seems the God Realm is about to welcome the era of spiritual energy revival again..." Zhang Xuan smiled.
The hole in the Tidal Sea had recovered with the completion of the Heaven's Path. It was only a matter of time before the God Realm recovered to its former glory.
"Zhang Xuan, come here..."
Just after doing this, a voice rang in his mind. Zhang Xuan was stunned and took a step forward.
This step flew an unknown distance, and then he saw a young man standing in front of 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 this person was unfathomable before, but now he realized that compared to himself, he was only a thread away. He had already reached the peak of the Monarch, and compared to the previous Luo Ruoxi, he was much more powerful.
"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, flew an unknown distance, and 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 depth that could not be seen through.
"This strength..." Zhang Xuan trembled.
The strength of the young man before him was actually stronger than his, also breaking through the Monarch shackles, and his cultivation was even more profound and heavy!
"I am Nie Yun!" The young man smiled faintly and looked over: "Also known as... Nie Lingxi, the father of Luo Ruoxi you speak of!"
"Ruoxi's father?"
Zhang Xuan was shocked: "You... are the Heaven's Path of the God Realm?"
Luo Ruoxi had said before that her father was the Heaven's Path. He never thought it would be such a young man.
"I transformed into three pure ones with one breath, and a part of my soul became the Heaven's Path! 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 Realm was actually created by this person?
Then how strong should his strength be?
"No, if the God Realm was created by you and you are the Heaven's Path, why let the Ruthless Man run wild without taking action..." Zhang Xuan looked over.
If he hadn't broken through, the God Realm would likely have collapsed completely. Why did this person ignore it?
Even caring about his daughter's life and death?
Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over faintly: "Do you think... there are more powerful lives above the God Realm?"
"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 stronger.
Just like the person before him.
"I once suspected that there would be more powerful lives above the God Realm, so I used all my strength to peek, eventually attracting the backlash of a higher world... a palm broke through the air!"
Nie Yun looked over: "If I had dodged at that time, it is very likely that the entire God Realm would have been wiped out, and there would be no more life... so I blocked this move, but because of this, the Heaven's Path I transformed into was split."
"In this situation, I wanted to recover, which was just a thought, but... I understand that if I want to truly transcend the shackles of the God Realm and explore where the palm came from, and what is outside the God Realm... it's hard to do it alone. So, I wanted to see if there is any life that can break through the Monarch shackles and reach the same level as me!"
"So, I sent the scattered Heaven's Path intent to the lowest world... bestowing it on a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you, in the end, did not disappoint me!"
Nie Yun smiled.
"A soul that does not belong to this world. In this way, my transmigration is also because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.
No wonder he was able to transmigrate. He didn't expect it was all done by this person.
"Haha!" Nie Yun smiled lightly and said: "Originally belonging to this world, there is awe for the world. Wanting to break through the world's shackles is much more difficult. I also had a thought, but I didn't expect you could really succeed..."
"I..." Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it weren't for Kong Shi, I would never have reached this level..."... Without Kong Shi's selfless dedication, wanting to reach the current realm would be 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, but in reality, he lost the 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 was silent.
He had seen the fight between the two of them, and Kong Shi was indeed a bit lacking in decisiveness.
It was also possible that he didn't want to kill Luo Ruoxi.
Unfortunately, in that moment, he missed the opportunity to advance.
"If Kong Shi won, Ruoxi would die..." After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over, his eyebrows furrowed.
Could it be that this person didn't even care about his daughter's life and 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, wanting to save someone, can you do it?"
"This..." Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.
Breaking through the Monarch and the Monarch are two concepts. If he was really willing to take action, he could indeed save people at the last moment and guarantee that they wouldn't be hurt at all.
"Lingxi was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so the name she disguised herself with is Luo... to make her believe it and not act emotionally, she has always thought I was still in a coma until now..."
Nie Yun smiled bitterly: "I, this father, can be considered ruthless enough... Let's do this, you should explain this to her. After all, her heart has already shifted to you, and she probably won't think of me, this old father... Haha, I won't appear for the time being. I'll hide for a period of time. Otherwise, I'm really afraid she'll turn everything upside down..."
Seeing this unreliable father, Zhang Xuan twitched his face and had to agree: "Alright..."
There was no other way, who told him to abduct someone else's daughter...
"The Heaven's Path Library is transformed by my intent. It is the foundation and also the shackle. You can break through the shackles with your own ability, which shows your ability and potential. Your future is limitless. My daughter can be with you, and as a father, I can be considered comforted."
