Chapter 1202: The Growing Iluna

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

Just like the Undying Sovereign, the little yellow chicken; he was previously only a God King, and even as a Sovereign, he had 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 the other party could break away from the Book of Heaven's Path, they could not break free from an agreement made between souls!

"A soul contract indeed cannot be split from the sea of consciousness, but I have fused with a special gas capable of dissolving even the Heaven's Path. Dissolving this kind of 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 dissolve even the Heaven's Path of the God Realm, what is difficult about dissolving a soul contract, provided it is handled correctly?

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

"Saying so much to you can be considered a thank you 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 grew even larger. Clearly, during the time he was speaking, he had devoured an unknown amount of power to nourish himself.

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

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

"Prepare to strike!" 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 who is truly superior in battle!"

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 care about life or death, what else can stand in one's way?

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

Whoosh!

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

At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also struck. Her jade hands danced, and the sword radiance was like snow.

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

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

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

In an instant, it blotted out the sky and covered the sun. The palm shrouded the heavens and the earth; space shattered, and it felt 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, spraying blood wildly in mid-air.

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

What kind of realm had this fellow reached?

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

Viewed from afar, his aura was incredibly imposing.

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

He raised a fist, and the power surged into the nine heavens.

Upon colliding with the Ruthless Man, he was also sent flying backward, unable to withstand even a single move.

Zhang Xuan clutched his forehead.

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

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

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

The little yellow chicken let out a loud shout, and crimson flames burned, as if the sky itself had been ignited. The remaining six Sovereigns also unleashed their own methods.

The seven Sovereigns joined forces, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth; a single world could not withstand them before them. But the opponent was the Ruthless Man who had absorbed special power. As the attacks arrived, the black hole suddenly grew larger, devouring the power completely in the blink of an eye, and then immediately counterattacking.

Bang bang bang bang!

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

The ten Sovereigns, joined together, actually hadn't managed to withstand a single move from the opponent!

How could this fellow be so powerful?

"You can all die now..."

After crushing 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, his long sword transforming into a galaxy.

"A Sovereign? He also has the strength of a Sovereign?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils constricted.

This old man had originally followed behind the young man; he had assumed he was just an attendant, at most a titled God King. Only when he unleashed his power did he realize he was actually a Sovereign expert!

If he was a Sovereign, what was that young man?

"He is a Sovereign of the Sword God Heaven himself..." 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. Immediately, she saw this Sovereign from the Sword God Heaven also sent flying backward, landing not far away and smashing out a large crater.

Zhang Xuan's current strength and comprehension of the sword path were far beyond his, and even he couldn't withstand it. Even though the old man's cultivation was not weak and his swordsmanship was brilliant, he was still no match.

"Haha, Sovereigns? A bunch of worthless trash! Today, I will destroy the Nine Heavens, destroy this God Realm, and trample all rules into the ground!"

After defeating the Sovereign of the Sword God Heaven, the Ruthless Man laughed crazily. The surrounding space collapsed 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 managed to withstand a single move from the opponent...

Could it be that in the God Realm, there really was no one capable of stopping 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, allowing the Heaven's Path to suppress him..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists, her eyes turning red.

"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. Perhaps it could then 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 arrives, 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 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 a Sovereign... 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-like face: "That's right... it cannot suppress him, but if the Heaven's Path is whole, he can wake up. 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.

"Trying 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!

It was blocked by the Ruthless Man once again.

"You all hurry and leave; I will block him..."

Knowing that they were thinking of a way to save the God Realm rather than fleeing, the clone and the Undying Sovereign let out a loud shout 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 them, unafraid of death, Zhang Xuan's eyes turned red. However, he also knew that now was not the time to talk. He grabbed Luo Ruoxi, his body flickered, and he tore through space. The next moment, he had already appeared within the territory of the Zizai Heaven.

The Zizai Heaven no longer had its previous ease; 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 Sovereign was once his beast pet..." Luo Ruoxi caught her breath 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 Sovereign had immediately recognized him as its master upon seeing the pendant.

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

He couldn't help but ask.

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

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

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

"He is not a Sovereign, 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, Father could not withstand 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 the control of 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! I specifically entered the Master Teacher Continent to study the Spring and Autumn Annals, trying to find a way to defeat Kong Shi! The request I made of him when I fought Kong Shi was also for this."

Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

Not long after he first met the girl on the Master Teacher Continent, she 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 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 bear children?

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

Taking over control and the way he had fused them into his 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 away 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 away the 'Heaven's Path with Defects' in my body, your father will be able to wake up, and even kill the Ruthless Man, right?" Zhang Xuan looked over.

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

Looking up at the already collapsing 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 can't be sure either. Since that's the case, it's better to rely on ourselves than on others... We have to find a way ourselves!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth: "You, me, the clone, joined with the Nine Heavens and Nine Sovereigns, 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, he was killed by you just to find a way 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 his intelligence should be the same as his, a Congenital Fetal Soul Body.

It allows one to remain clear-headed even in the womb.

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

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

"We'll know once we go and see. If my guess is correct, he should have already recovered. Otherwise, those students of his, Ziyuan Ancient Sage and the others, wouldn't have failed to go to the Tidal Sea..." Zhang Xuan said.

Those students of Kong Shi, Ziyuan Ancient Sage and the others, were all incredibly powerful. Even without the help of a Sovereign, they would definitely have had a way to enter the Tidal Sea, yet not a single one of them was seen.

There must have been something more important waiting for them, wanting to do it while all the Sovereigns were at the Tidal Sea and unable to pay attention!

And this important matter was clearly to help Kong Shi recover.

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

"Let's go!"

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

Who else could it be but Kong Shi!

This teacher of ten thousand generations had truly not disappointed him!

Just as he had guessed, he had taken advantage of the time when everyone's attention was focused on the Tidal Sea to resurrect.

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

She knew that Sovereigns could resurrect, and the Undying Sovereign 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 backup plans in advance. The giant without a name in the Ghost Pool was what I left behind. When I was killed by you 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 one or two days had passed in the God Realm, but in reality, he had experienced an unknown amount of time to recover his strength.

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 that she was boosting the enemy's morale and destroying her own ambition, but it was the truth.

Just now, so many people had joined forces and still hadn't managed to block the opponent. Even with the addition of a Kong Shi, what could be done?

It still wouldn't change the situation!

"Our individual strength, or even joined together, is indeed no match for the opponent, 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 did Luo Ruoxi frown, but Zhang Xuan was also full of doubt.

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

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

"How to concentrate?"

Luo Ruoxi looked over.

It was easy to say, but difficult to do.

Sovereigns were already standing at the very 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.

"It's very simple... We concentrate the power on our bodies onto Zhang Xuan. Once he can break through the shackles of a Sovereign, he will be able to save the God Realm!"

Kong Shi said.

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

"Lingxi Sovereign 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 am not mistaken, when you fought me, you also gave up, intending to be killed by me, right?"

Kong Shi said.

Luo Ruoxi was speechless.

During the battle, she had indeed had such an 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, one naturally cannot unleash the strongest power. Even if given more true energy, one still cannot impact that supreme realm! As for me..."

Kong Shi nodded and said: "I care for all living things and want to save the world, but I am 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, this situation wouldn't have happened..."

If he had been able to kill all the Otherworldly Demons back then, the Ruthless Man wouldn't have been able to resurrect, and this situation wouldn't exist.

"Therefore, I am also not suitable! And Zhang Xuan, his cultivation technique follows his heart and has no flaws. He emphasizes living out his true self. Even if he dies, as long as he lives without regrets, his heart will be at peace. Such a 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 one doesn't even care about death, how could one be constrained by other things?

"This..." Zhang Xuan frowned and was just about to say something when he saw Kong Shi 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 Sovereign doesn't have fragments of the Heaven's Path 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, you will possess the power of the complete Heaven's Path in your body! Coupled with the clone's Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, you will be able to stabilize the Nine Heavens, control the universe, fight the nine skies, and destroy all things!"... "Alright!"

Seeing that the other party had already made a decision, Zhang Xuan nodded, knowing that no amount of explanation would be useful.

Boom!

He sat cross-legged, and in the blink of an eye, two majestic powers surged in from both sides.

Zhang Xuan's entire 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 energy were all baptized in an instant, becoming stronger and more majestic.

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

After slapping Luo Qiqi and the clone away, the Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

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

The Tidal Sea had devoured almost all the spiritual energy in the God Realm outside the cities. Now, these powers had all become his nourishment. With every move, he carried the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth. These Sovereigns and God Kings, although representing the very 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 is no meaning in us living. I, Yunchi, will perish with you..."

Emperor Yunchi transformed into his original form, a huge five-clawed golden dragon, and lunged at him through 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 Fumeng also let out a loud shout, transformed into his white tiger original form, and arrived before him through the air.

The Undying Sovereign revealed his undying fire phoenix original form, and flames illuminated the sky.

Emperor Xuanming's original form was a large turtle, as if it were supporting the heavens.

The four great divine beasts guarded the four poles of the God Realm. As they transformed into their original forms simultaneously, the collapsing God Realm slowed down.

The universe seemed to freeze in an instant.

Bang bang bang bang!

With four consecutive slaps, the Ruthless Man suppressed the four beasts, a look of intense killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish..."

Amidst the roaring, 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, amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, a figure walked out slowly from the air.

It was Zhang Xuan!

At this moment, the young man's entire body was surging with power, ten times stronger than before. He came from the heavens, as if he himself were 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 undergone such a huge change in just a few minutes.

"However, so what if you've increased? Even the God Realm at its peak couldn't withstand me. I don't believe you can withstand 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 tore apart, and air currents rampaged everywhere.

"Can Zhang Xuan win?"

At Kong Shi's residence in the 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, their level was there. As long as they had enough power, one day, they would be able to recover.... "With his current strength, wanting to win... is very difficult! Unless... he can comprehend power that surpasses a Sovereign!"

After a moment of silence, Kong Shi said.

A dozen or so Sovereigns joined together and still couldn't defeat the Ruthless Man. Even if they passed all their power to the other party, wanting to win was not that easy.

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

"Power that surpasses a Sovereign?"

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 a pride for 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 index finger split, and a huge, hideous, and terrifying wound appeared on his chest.

Just as Kong Shi had 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 so powerful, but you're just like this!" The Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

"Since I'm no match for you anyway, I'll 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 grant 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.

Clatter!

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

It was indeed his strongest attack. The entire God Realm roared, as if it were about to be unable to bear it, and another huge crater was struck out.

With his eyes tightly closed, Zhang Xuan did not dodge.

Bang!

His head exploded, and his soul scattered everywhere.

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

Luo Qiqi was like a madwoman.

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

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

Their intention was for him to break through his shackles and impact the realm beyond the Sovereign level. Why didn't he resist, but willingly went to his death?

In doing so, wouldn't he be failing to live up to their good intentions?

"No, it's the Undying Sovereign'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 scorching flame. Within 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 flames, 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 were fused together, inseparable. To break free, he had had to let his soul fly away and scatter, using the Ghost Pool to re-condense his soul.

The person before them had only been killed once, and he had broken free completely. What method did he use?

"I know... he used the Ruthless Man's method of breaking free from the soul contract..." Luo Ruoxi reacted.... A soul contract binds the master and the servant; if the master doesn't release it, the servant will always be constrained... The Heaven's Path Library was the same; it could be said to be an enhanced version of a contract.

It bound the soul, and it wouldn't break free unless it died.

But... the Ruthless Man had used that special power to break free from the soul contract. Zhang Xuan had asked about the specific method in detail before; he probably had had this in mind at that time.

That was why he had deliberately risked his life, letting the other party unleash their strongest power to attack him.

Using this power to be reborn from the flames, he hadn't expected it to be a complete success!

"So that's it; this is the method to break through to the Sovereign level..."

Zhang Xuan, who walked out of the flames, had a faint smile on his face, as if he understood something. He suddenly waved his hand, and the clone at the side immediately transformed 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 moment, the clone and his 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 its peak, loosened, as if it would break through at any moment.

"Master-servant affection, brotherly affection, teacher-student affection, parental affection, 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 separated from his soul, he understood.

Is it that humans look at 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 is it the heart moving!

This question has troubled countless people since ancient times.

Of course, now... none of this matters!

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

Therefore, after breaking through romantic love, 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.

Reunion is also emotion!

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

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

The Sovereign shackles had been broken!

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

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

Before, he could only progress by absorbing spiritual energy, but now, spatial turbulence, chaotic qi, and even the opponent's green light could all be his, inseparable.

"You..." The Ruthless Man hadn't expected that his full-force attack, instead of killing him, had actually helped him. He screamed "Wah wah!" in anger, and with a roar, attacked again.

"You resent the high and mighty Sovereign for not saving you in the spatial turbulence; that is emotion. You feel that you were once my servant, containing humility 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 fine threads of emotion, his hands and feet tied, 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: "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..." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and 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, 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 he could finish speaking, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his body.

Bang!

In an instant, he exploded, turning into countless spiritual energy, surging toward every part of the God Realm.

All the power that the Tidal Sea had devoured before was now all fed back, and the barren wilderness that had been exhausted regained its vitality.

"This..."

"He killed him just like that?"

Emperor Yunchi, the Undying Sovereign, 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 had been wiped out with a casual wave of his hand. This Zhang Xuan... what level had he reached?

Could it be that there was another realm above the Sovereign level?

"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 slightly and flicked his finger.

Hum!

The library that had accompanied him since his rebirth was embedded into the sky of the God Realm with a boom.

With a sound like a great bell, the God Realm, which had been collapsing continuously, recovered slowly, visible to the naked eye, and the chaotic air currents gathered again.

The collapsing God Realm finally stopped, and the withered 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. It was only a matter of time before the God Realm recovered 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 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 sliver behind. He had already reached the very peak of the Sovereign level, far more powerful than the Luo Ruoxi from before.

"You can just call me by my name; I am... Nie Tong!" The young man exuded an unstoppable sword intent and said calmly.

"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.

He then saw another young man.

His appearance was not much older than his own, 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 even more powerful than his own. He had also broken through the shackles of a Sovereign, 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, 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 would have thought that he would be such a young man.

"I used the 'One Qi Transforms Three Purities' technique; a part of my soul became the Heaven's Path! Besides, this world was created by me; it is not wrong to say that 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 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 rampant without taking action..." Zhang Xuan looked over.

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

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

Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over calmly: "Do you think... there are more powerful life forms 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 the person before him.

"I once suspected that there would be more powerful life forms above the God Realm, so I used all my strength to peer into it, eventually attracting the backlash of a higher world... A palm broke through the air and descended!"

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 not be a single life form left... So, I blocked that move, but because of this, the Heaven's Path I had transformed into was split apart."

"In this situation, if I wanted to recover, it would only be a matter of a single intent. But... I understood that if I wanted to truly transcend the shackles of the God Realm and explore where that palm came from, and what was outside the God Realm... it would be very difficult to do it alone. So, I wanted to see if there were any life forms capable of breaking through the Sovereign shackles and reaching the same level as me!"

"Therefore, I sent the scattered Heaven's Path intent to the lowest level world... bestowing them separately 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 disappoint me!"

Nie Yun smiled.

"A soul that does not belong to this world. Put this way, my transmigration was also because of you?" Zhang Xuan's heart shook.

No wonder he was able to transmigrate here; he hadn't expected it to be the work of this person before him.

"Haha!" Nie Yun smiled lightly and said: "Those who originally belong to this world have a sense of awe for the world, and wanting to break through the world's shackles is much more difficult. I just had a thought; I didn't expect that you would truly succeed..."

"I..." Zhang Xuan's face turned red: "If it weren't for Kong Shi, I would never have been able to reach this level..."... 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 battle 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 one doesn't even have this spirit, how can one contend with them?"

Nie Yun said.

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

He had seen the battle between the two of them, and Kong Shi was indeed lacking in decisiveness.

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

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

"If Kong Shi had won, Ruoxi would have died..." 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 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 it be done?"

"This..." Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.

Breaking through to the Sovereign level and being a Sovereign were two different concepts. If he were truly willing to take action, he could indeed save someone at the last moment and guarantee that they wouldn't suffer even the slightest injury.

"Lingxi was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so the name she disguised herself with has the surname Luo... To make her believe it and not act emotionally, she has always thought that I am still in a coma..."

Nie Yun smiled bitterly: "I, this father, can be considered ruthless enough... Let's do this: you explain this matter to her. After all, her heart has already shifted to you, and she probably doesn't even 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 before him, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had no choice but to agree: "Alright..."

He had no choice; who told him to abduct someone else's daughter...

"The Heaven's Path Library was transformed from a strand of my intent. It is the foundation, but also the shackles. That you could break through the shackles with your own ability shows your ability and potential. Your future is boundless. That my daughter can be with you, as a father, I can be considered comforted."
