Chapter 1199: Stories, Bloodlines, and Ossenfort

A soul contract binds 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 Emperor, the little yellow chicken; previously, he was only a God King, and he was an Emperor, yet he was equally unable to resolve such an agreement.

To prevent this fellow from going back on his word and causing a backlash, the Master Teacher Continent had specifically decreed that even if the other party could break away 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 contract is not difficult... as long as there is sufficient power to strike the location of the contract, 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 difficult about dissolving a soul contract, provided it is handled properly?

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

"Speaking so much with you can be considered gratitude 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 speaking, 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 cleared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "Since that is the case, let us see the real truth in our hands!"

Boom—!

The most powerful sword intent was unleashed once again.

Living, I shall return; dying, I shall long for you!

If one does not care about life or death, what can stop them?

Although this sword technique had not reached the level of an Emperor's comprehension, it contained all the obsessions in his heart, pushing the 'Heaven If It Has Feelings' cultivation technique within his body to the limit.

Whoosh!

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

At the same moment, 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 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, it covered the sky and the sun; the palm shrouded the heavens and the earth, space shattered, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed as if they were about to be forcefully struck down.

Pfft! Pfft!

Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi were sent flying backward simultaneously, blood spraying wildly from their mouths in mid-air.

With the strength of the two of them, they were actually unable to block it!

What kind of realm had this fellow reached?

"Presumptuous!" The clone stepped forward; with every step he took, lotus flowers bloomed, and the sound of flowing water accompanied the void.

Viewed from afar, it was full of pretentiousness.

Having refined the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation was not the slightest 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 an Emperor, the clone still hadn't changed his nature of showing off...

Such a flashy display of pretentiousness would be better off concentrating the power; the might would be greater!

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

The little yellow chicken let out a loud shout, crimson flames burning, as if the sky had been ignited. The remaining six Emperors also unleashed their respective means.

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

Bang bang bang bang!

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

The ten Emperors, united together, were actually unable to block a single move from the opponent!

How could this fellow be so powerful?

"You can all die now..."

Defeating everyone with one move, the Ruthless Man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and struck 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 transforming into a galaxy.

"An Emperor? He also has Emperor strength?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils constricted.

This old man had originally followed behind the young man, and he had thought he was just a follower, at most a titled God King. Only when he unleashed his power did he discover he was actually an Emperor-level powerhouse!

If he was an Emperor, what was that young man?

"He himself is an Emperor 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 distorted, and she immediately saw this Emperor 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 his comprehension of the sword path far exceeded his, yet he couldn't resist; even if his cultivation wasn't weak and his sword technique was brilliant, he was still no match.

"Haha, Emperors, just a bunch of useless dogs! Today I will destroy the Nine Heavens, destroy this God Realm, and trample all rules flat!"

Defeating the Emperor of the Sword God Heaven, the Ruthless Man laughed crazily, the surrounding space collapsing continuously, setting him off like a demon or a devil.

"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...

Could it be that in the God Realm, there really was no one who could block this person before them?

To let him destroy the world?

"The only way... is to return your 'Heaven's Path with Defects' to the Heaven's Path itself, and let the Heaven's Path suppress him..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists, her eye sockets turning red.

"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 complete, and perhaps it could repair the loopholes and self-eject the Ruthless Man.

Just like the human body's 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 completeness, it won't be able to suppress him, right?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

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

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

The person before them was only a normal God King, even if titled, the Heaven's Path could easily kill him, but he was stronger than an Emperor... 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... it can't suppress him, but if the Heaven's Path is complete, 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, turned around, and flew forward.

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

Bang!

Luo Ruoxi fell from the sky.

"You..." Zhang Xuan's sword technique was unleashed once again, sword intent shining brilliantly.

Ding ding ding!

Once again blocked by the Ruthless Man.

"You all go quickly; I will block him..."

Knowing that they were thinking of a way to save the God Realm, not to escape, the clone and the Undying Emperor shouted and blocked in front. Luo Qiqi also transformed, returning to the main body of the Jingkong Pearl.

The surrounding space solidified.

"Go!"

Seeing everyone blocking behind regardless of their lives, not fearing death, Zhang Xuan's eye sockets turned red. However, knowing that now was not the time to say more, he pulled Luo Ruoxi, his body flickered, tearing through space, and the next moment he appeared within the range of the Zizai Heaven.

The Zizai Heaven no longer had its previous freedom; the God Realm was collapsing, and everywhere 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 truly 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 Emperor was once his beast pet..." Luo Ruoxi adjusted her breathing and explained.

"Father?"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

No wonder he had always felt 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 Emperor immediately recognized him as its master after seeing the pendant.

"Is your father also an Emperor? Or does he possess strength exceeding an Emperor?"

He couldn't help but ask.

The library was chaotic, and it was the blood in the pendant that allowed him to regain clarity. Could it be that not only was she an Emperor, but her father was too, and even more powerful?

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

And why did he need the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' to wake up?

"He is not an Emperor, 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, Father could not resist that giant hand and fell into a coma. The Heaven's Path shattered into three parts. The 'Heaven's Path with Order' and the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' entered the spatial turbulence. 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 is why I was so determined and could not fail! That is why I specifically entered the Master Teacher Continent to study the Spring and Autumn Annals, trying to find a way to defeat Master Kong! When I fought Master Kong, the favor I asked of him was also this."

Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

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 at the time, but now he suddenly realized.

It turned out to be her father, and he was the Heaven's Path of the God Realm!

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

"Took over controlling the Heaven's Path of 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 controlling 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.

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

Although he was unwilling to accept such a fate, he was also unwilling to see the girl before him get hurt.

"If I strip out the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' in my body, your father will be able to 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. 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 aren't certain either. Since that's the case, it's better to rely on oneself than others... we can only think of a way ourselves!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth: "You, me, the clone, united with the Nine Heavens and Nine Emperors, if we cooperate with Master Kong, we might not necessarily lose!"

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

"Master Kong is already dead, right! He hasn't truly died. If I'm not mistaken, he was killed by you just to find a way to break away 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. Master Kong's so-called maintaining of his spiritual wisdom should be the same as his, a Congenital Fetal Soul Body.

It could achieve not being confused in the womb.

Coupled with the backup plan he had left behind in advance, resurrection was only a matter of time.

Luo Ruoxi was stunned, as if she hadn't expected it to be like this.

"We'll know once we go and take a look. If my guess is correct, 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 Master Kong, such as Ziyuan Ancient Sage, were all powerful. Even without the help of an Emperor, 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, wanting to do it while all the Emperors went to the Tidal Sea and had no time to care!

And this important matter was clearly letting Master Kong recover.

"This..." Luo Ruoxi was shocked in her heart, suddenly realizing.

"Let's go!"

Without further explanation, he slashed with one hand, and Zhang Xuan returned to where Master Kong lived. Sure enough, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged, floating in the air. Seeing them arrive, he smiled slightly: "You've come!"

Who else could it be but Master Kong!

This teacher of ten thousand generations had indeed not let him down!

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 trembled.

She knew that Emperors could resurrect, and the Undying Emperor 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 nameless giant 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!"

Master Kong smiled slightly.

He was proficient in time abilities. It looked 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.

Dozens of years 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 Master Kong had indeed recovered, Luo Ruoxi still shook her head.

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

Just now, so many people united and still couldn't block the opponent. Even if they added a Master Kong, what could they do?

It still wouldn't change the situation!

"Our individual strength, or even united together, is indeed no match for the opponent, but... what if we fuse everyone's power into one person?"

Master Kong smiled and looked over.

"Fuse into one person?"

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

"That palm was able to tear the God Realm and scatter the Heaven's Path; its strength is unquestionable. The Ruthless Man absorbed all of this power and swallowed fifty years of spiritual energy from the God Realm. In terms of strength alone, the dozen or so of us Emperors, taken individually, are indeed no match..."

Master Kong 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.

Emperors already stood at the peak of the God Realm. 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 an Emperor, he will be able to save the God Realm!"

Master Kong said.

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

"Lingxi Emperor cultivates freedom and ease, transcending nature! But with the constraints of Father and the Heaven's Path, and people to worry about, one can never truly transcend! If I saw correctly, when you fought me, you had also given up, intending to be killed by me, right?"

Master Kong said.

Luo Ruoxi couldn't say a word.

During the battle, she indeed had such an intention, so when the two of them fought, at the beginning, 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 energy, one still cannot impact that supreme realm! As for me..."

Master Kong nodded and said: "I care for the common people and want to save the world, but I am unwilling to let others sacrifice for me. Too much benevolence is also a shortcoming! 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 Demon Tribe members at the beginning, 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 defects. He emphasizes living out his true self; even if he dies, as long as he lives without shame, 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!"

Master Kong continued.

Living, I shall return; dying, I shall long for you!

If even death is not cared about, how can one be fettered by other things?

"This..." Zhang Xuan frowned and was about to say something when he saw Master Kong looking at him with burning eyes: "No need to decline. First, there is no time to cultivate others. Even if there were, I don't think anyone could do better than you! Although Lingxi Emperor 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 with Order'. If we pour our power into you, your body will possess the power of the complete Heaven's Path! Coupled with the clone's Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, you can completely achieve stabilizing the Nine Heavens, controlling the universe, fighting the Nine Heavens, and destroying all things!"... "Alright!"

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

Boom—!

Sitting cross-legged, in the blink of an eye, two majestic powers poured in from both sides.

Zhang Xuan's whole body stiffened, and his entire person seemed to transform into the Heaven's Path in an instant, soaring above the nine heavens.

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

"You also want to stop me? Very well, kill you all, and then go and kill Zhang Xuan..."

Sending Luo Qiqi and the clone and others flying, the Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

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

The Tidal Sea had swallowed almost all the spiritual energy of the God Realm outside the cities. Now, these powers had all become his nourishment. With every gesture, he carried the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth. These Emperors 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; living has no meaning for us. I, Yun Chi, will perish with you..."

Emperor Yun Chi transformed into his main body, a huge five-clawed golden dragon, and pounced toward him in mid-air.

"Just you? Not worthy!"

The Ruthless Man pinched his palm, and the golden dragon hung in his palm, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't escape.

"Old friend, wait for me!"

Emperor Fu Meng also let out a loud shout, transformed into his White Tiger main body, and arrived before him in mid-air.

The Undying Emperor, the Undying Fire Phoenix main body appeared, flames illuminating the sky.

Emperor Xuan Ming, his main body was a large turtle, as if supporting the heavens.

The four great divine beasts, guarding the four poles of the God Realm, transformed into their main bodies simultaneously, and the collapsing God Realm slowed down.

The universe seemed to be fixed in an instant.

Bang bang bang bang!

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

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

"Wanting to kill them, have you asked me yet..."

Immediately, in the shocked gaze 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 heavens, 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, in just a few minutes, the other party's strength had undergone such a huge change.

"However, what if it has increased? Even the God Realm at its peak could not resist me. I don't believe you can block me..."

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

Zhang Xuan raised his long sword and met him.

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

"Can Zhang Xuan win?"

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

She and Master Kong 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 transcends an Emperor!"

After a moment of silence, Master Kong said.

A dozen or so Emperors 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, and possibly truly transcend the limits and break through oneself!

"Power that transcends an Emperor?"

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 toward this world."

Seeing the doubt in her heart, Master Kong smiled.

Bang bang bang!

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

Just as Master Kong 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 very powerful, but you're just so-so!" The Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

"Anyway, I'm no match for you 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 will 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 struck down violently.

It was indeed the strongest attack; the entire God Realm roared, as if it couldn't bear it, and was struck out with another huge pit.

With his eyes closed, Zhang Xuan did not 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.

Master Kong 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 Emperor realm. Why didn't he resist and willingly go to his death?

In this way, wouldn't I be failing their good intentions?

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

Just as he was wondering, Master Kong suddenly spoke.

Everyone then saw that Zhang Xuan, whose head had exploded and whose soul had 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 other party's power and the blood in the pendant to separate the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' from his soul?"

Luo Ruoxi's pupils constricted.

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?"

Master Kong was also full of disbelief.

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

The 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.... A 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 bound the soul; if it didn't die, it wouldn't break away.

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; he probably had ideas at that time.

That was why he deliberately fought to the death, letting him unleash his strongest power to attack him.

Using this power, he was 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 Emperor..."

Zhang Xuan, who walked out of the fire, 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; 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, 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, showed signs of loosening, as if he could 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 was there 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 meaning does it have?

Therefore, after breaking through romantic love, it is the love for all living things! It is the emotion that weaves through 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.

Meeting is also emotion!

"Thousands of emotions, used by me..."

With a low shout, the realm that was imprisoned in Zhang Xuan's body instantly broke open.

The Emperor's shackles were broken!

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

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

Before, he could only improve by absorbing spiritual energy, but now, spatial turbulence, chaotic energy, 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-force attack not only failed to 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 Emperor 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 Realm 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 had been invincible, was bound together by countless emotional threads, unable to move.

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

"You..."

The Ruthless Man's eyes were full of fear: "Master Zhang, I am your servant, don't kill me... I am willing to offer my soul as a 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, servants and the like had no meaning to him anymore.

Having killed so many people at the God level, 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 constricted. Before his voice finished, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his body.

Bang!

In an instant, he exploded, turning into countless spiritual energy, pouring into all parts of the God Realm.

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 Emperor, Fairy Linglong, and others all widened their eyes, unable to believe it.

Just now, they had fought with the Ruthless Man and knew how terrifying he was. Such a powerful person was destroyed just like that. To what extent had this Zhang Xuan reached?

Could it be that there is another realm above the Emperor?

"He succeeded..."

Master Kong 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 bang.

With a bell-like sound, the God Realm that was constantly collapsing recovered slowly, visible to the naked eye, and the chaotic airflow gathered again.

The collapsing God Realm finally stopped, and the dried-up spiritual energy slowly revived along 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 along with the completion of the Heaven's Path. The God Realm returning to its former glory was only a matter of time.

"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 thread behind, having reached the peak of an Emperor, far stronger than Luo Ruoxi before.

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

"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, flying an unknown distance, and stopped before a mountain peak.

Immediately, 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 shackles of an Emperor, and his cultivation was even more profound and heavy!

"I am Nie Yun!" The young man smiled lightly and looked over: "That is... Nie Lingxi, the father of Luo Ruoxi, whom 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 imagined it would be such a young man.

"I split one qi into three purities; a part of my soul became the Heaven's Path! Besides, this world was created by me; saying I am the Heaven's Path is not wrong!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

The God Realm was actually created by this person before him?

Then how strong must his strength be?

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

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

Not even caring about his daughter's life or death?

Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over lightly: "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 be stronger.

Just like this person before him.

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

Nie Yun looked over: "At that time, if I had dodged, it was 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 embodied was split apart."

"In this situation, if I wanted to recover, it would only be a matter of intent, but... I understood that if I wanted to truly transcend the shackles of the God Realm and explore where the palm came from and what is outside the God Realm... relying on myself alone is very difficult. So, I wanted to see if there was any life that could break through the Emperor's shackles and reach the same level as me!"

"Therefore, I sent the scattered Heaven's Path intent to the lowest level of the world... bestowing them respectively upon 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 let me down!"

Nie Yun smiled.

"A soul that does not belong to this world. In this way, my transmigration was also because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked in his heart.

No wonder he was able to transmigrate here; he never expected it was all done by this person before him.

"Haha!" Nie Yun smiled lightly and said: "Originally belonging to this world, one has awe toward the world, and wanting to break through the world's shackles is much more difficult. I also had a thought, but I didn't expect that you would really succeed..."

"I..." Zhang Xuan's face turned red: "If it weren't for Master Kong, I would never have been able to reach this point..."... Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, wanting to reach his current realm would be impossible.

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

Nie Yun said.

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed lacking in decisiveness.

It was also possible that he was unwilling to kill Luo Ruoxi.

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

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

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

"With me here, she won't die..." Nie Yun smiled lightly: "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 to Emperor and being an Emperor are two different concepts. If he were really willing to make a move, he could indeed save someone at the last moment and ensure they wouldn't suffer any injuries.

"Lingxi was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so the name she disguised herself with was Luo... To make her believe and not act on emotion, she has always thought I am 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 matter to her. After all, her heart has already shifted to you, and I, this old father, probably won't even be remembered... Haha, I won't appear for the time being and will hide for a period of time. Otherwise, I'm really afraid she will turn everything upside down..."

Seeing this unreliable father before him, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had to agree: "Alright..."

There was no way not to agree; who told him to abduct someone else's daughter...

"The Heaven's Path library is a manifestation of my intent; it is the foundation and also the shackles. Being able to break through the shackles with your own ability shows your ability and potential. Your future is boundless. My daughter being with you, as a father, can be considered comforted."
