Chapter 1204: An Encounter That Happened Long Ago

A soul contract, a binding of souls; as long as one does not dissolve it, even if the other party possesses heaven-defying means, they cannot resolve it.

It is just like the Undying Sovereign, the little yellow chicken; previously, he was only a God King, and he was a Sovereign, yet he likewise had no way to resolve such an agreement.

In order to prevent this fellow from going back on his word and causing a backlash, the Master Continent once specifically stipulated that even if the other party could break away from the Book of Heaven, 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 resolve the Heavenly Dao. Resolving 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 Heavenly Dao. Special power can even resolve the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm; resolving a soul contract, as long as it is handled properly, what is difficult about it?

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

"Saying so much to 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, in the time it took to speak, he had swallowed an unknown amount of power and used it for nourishment.

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

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

"Prepare to make a move!" With his doubts dispelled, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand was suddenly raised: "Since that is the case, then let us see the true results in battle!"

Boom—!

The most powerful sword intent was unleashed once again.

If one lives, one will return; if one dies, one will long for the other!

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

Although this sword technique had not reached the level of understanding of a Sovereign, it contained all the obsessions in his heart, pushing the Heavenly Sentimental cultivation method within his body to the limit.

Whoosh!

One sword strike slashed the Ruthless Man's attack in two.

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

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

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

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

In an instant, it covered the sky and blocked 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 forcibly struck down.

Pfft! Pfft!

Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi were sent flying backward at the same time, fresh blood spraying wildly in mid-air.

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

What kind of realm had this fellow reached?

"Presumptuous!" The clone stepped forward with large strides; with every step taken, lotus flowers bloomed, and the sound of flowing water carried through 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 likewise sent flying backward, unable to block a single move.

Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

Having achieved the status of Sovereign, the clone still did not change his nature of showing off...

Such flashy showing off is not as good as concentrating the power, which would have greater might!

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

The little yellow chicken let out a loud shout, crimson flames burning, and the sky seemed to have been ignited... The remaining six Sovereigns also each unleashed their means.

Seven Sovereigns united, destroying the heavens and the earth; one side of the world could not resist before them, but the opponent was the Ruthless Man who had absorbed special power. As the attack arrived before him, the black hole suddenly became larger, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed the power clean, immediately following up with a counterattack.

Bang bang bang bang!

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

Ten Sovereigns, united together, actually did not block a single move from the opponent!

How could this fellow be so powerful?

"You can die now..."

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

"How dare 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.

"Sovereign? He also has Sovereign strength?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils constricted.

This old man had originally followed behind the young man; 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 Sovereign expert!

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

"He himself is a Sovereign 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 just wanted to answer, but space twisted, and then she saw this Sovereign of the Sword God Heaven likewise sent flying out, landing not far away and smashing out a large pit.

Zhang Xuan's current strength and his understanding of the sword path far exceeded his, yet he could not resist; even if his cultivation was not weak and his sword technique was brilliant, he was still no match.

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

Defeating the Sovereign 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 before him had used her strongest move, yet they had not 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 'Heavenly Dao with Defects' to the Heavenly Dao itself, and let the Heavenly Dao suppress him..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her jade fists, her eye sockets turning red.

"Return to the Heavenly Dao itself?" Zhang Xuan knew what she meant.

The library in his mind was itself a part of the Heavenly Dao. Once it returned, the Heavenly Dao would be considered completely complete; perhaps it could repair the loopholes and self-eject the Ruthless Man.

It was 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 Heavenly Dao is restored to completeness, 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 just a normal God King; even if he was titled, the Heavenly Dao could easily kill him, but he was stronger than a Sovereign... He was already beyond what the Heavenly Dao 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 Heavenly Dao is complete, he can wake up, and killing this person is not difficult!"... "Him?" 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 again, the sword intent shining brilliantly.

Ding ding ding!

Blocked by the Ruthless Man again.

"You guys hurry and leave, 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 Sovereign let out a loud shout and blocked in front, and Luo Qiqi also transformed, returning to the main body of the Jingkong Pearl.

The surrounding space solidified.

"Go!"

Seeing everyone fighting desperately to block behind, fearless of death, Zhang Xuan's eye sockets turned red. However, knowing that now was not the time to talk, he pulled Luo Ruoxi, his body flickered, tearing through space, and the next moment he had already appeared within the range of the Zizai Heaven.

The Zizai Heaven now no longer had its previous freedom; the God Realm was collapsing, and everything was in chaos.

"Where is the 'him' 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 his own sacrifice matter!

"He is my father; the blood in your pendant is his. The Undying Sovereign 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 thought left behind by the Undying Sovereign had immediately recognized him as its master after seeing the pendant.

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

He could not help but ask.

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

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

And why would he need the 'Heavenly Dao with Defects' to wake him up?

"He is not a Sovereign, but... the Heavenly Dao!"

Luo Ruoxi clenched her jade fists.

"The Heavenly Dao? Your father... is the Heavenly Dao?" Zhang Xuan was shocked, unable to believe it.

"Yes! Fifty years ago, my father could not resist that giant hand and fell into a coma; the Heavenly Dao collapsed into three parts. The 'Heavenly Dao with Order' and 'Heavenly Dao with Defects' entered the spatial turbulence, and I took over control of the 'Heavenly Dao of Nature' to maintain the balance of the God Realm. To make him recover, one must collect the scattered parts... That is why I was so determined, I could not fail! That is why I specifically entered the Master Continent to study the Spring and Autumn Annals, trying to find a way to defeat Master Kong! When I fought Master Kong, the thing I entrusted to him was also this."

Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

Not long after they first met on the Master Continent, the girl before him had told him her story, wanting to save a close relative. He had not understood at the time, but now he suddenly realized.

It turned out to be her father, and he was the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm!

Could the Heavenly Dao really take on a human form and have children?

"Took over control of the Heavenly Dao of Nature... There are no Heavenly Dao fragments in your body?" Suddenly realizing the error in her language, Zhang Xuan looked over.

Taking over control and the way he fused it into his body were two different concepts... "I only control it; I am not a part of the Heavenly Dao..." Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting it this way, he only needed to strip out the 'Heavenly Dao with Defects' from his body; she did not need 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 'Heavenly Dao 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 am not sure either..."

Looking up at the already 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 really hard to say!

"It seems you cannot be certain either. Since that is the case, it is better to rely on oneself than on others... We can only think of a way ourselves!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth: "You, me, the clone, united with the Nine Heavens Nine Sovereigns, if we cooperate with Master Kong, we might not be unable to win!"

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

"Master Kong is already dead, right! He has not truly died. If my guess is correct, he was killed by you just to find a way to break away from the Heavenly Dao... If there are no accidents, he should be like Wei Changfeng, an 【Innate Fetal Soul Body】!"

Zhang Xuan said.

Seeing Wei Changfeng, he understood; Master Kong's so-called maintaining of spiritual wisdom should be the same as his, an Innate Fetal Soul Body.

It could achieve clarity in the womb.

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

Luo Ruoxi was stunned, as if she had not expected it to be like this.

"Go over and take a look and you will know. If my guess is correct, he should have already recovered; otherwise, those students of his could not have failed to even go to the Tidal Sea..." Zhang Xuan said.

Those students of Master Kong, such as Zi Yuan Ancient Saint, were all powerful; even without the help of a Sovereign, they would inevitably have a way to enter the Tidal Sea, yet not a single one was seen.

There must be more important things waiting for them to do, wanting to take advantage of the time when all the Sovereigns went to the Tidal Sea and had no time to care!

And this important thing was clearly to let Master Kong recover.

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

"Let's go!"

No longer explaining, he slashed with one hand, and Zhang Xuan arrived once again at the place where Master Kong resided. 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 the time when everyone's attention was focused on the Tidal Sea, he had resurrected.

"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 had not expected the speed to be so fast!

"I hid from the Heavenly Dao and prepared a backup plan in advance. That 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 Heavenly Dao and re-condense my physical body. Now I have just recovered!"

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 power, 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 win against the Ruthless Man is not that easy..." Seeing that Master Kong had indeed recovered, Luo Ruoxi still shook her head.

It was not that she was boosting the opponent's prestige and destroying her own ambition, but it was the truth.

Just now, so many people united and did not block the opponent; even if they added a Master Kong, what could they do?

It still could not 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's body?"

Master Kong smiled and looked over.

"Fuse into one person's body?"

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

"That palm could tear the God Realm apart and scatter the Heavenly Dao; its strength is beyond doubt. The Ruthless Man absorbed all this power and swallowed the spiritual energy of the God Realm for fifty years. In terms of strength alone, the dozen or so Sovereigns of us, taken individually, are indeed not his match..."

Master Kong said: "But united together, concentrating the power on one person... then it might not be so!"

"How to concentrate it?"

Luo Ruoxi looked over.

It was easy to say, but difficult to do.

Sovereigns already stood at the very peak of the God Realm; if it were so easy to absorb other people's power, she would not have stagnated for so many years.

"Very simple... We concentrate the power on our bodies onto Zhang Xuan. Once he can break through the Sovereign shackles, he can save the God Realm!"

Master Kong said.

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

"The Lingxi Sovereign cultivates freedom and ease, transcending nature! But with the constraints of father and the Heavenly Dao, and with people to worry about, one can never truly transcend! If I am not mistaken, when you fought me, you also once gave up, intending to be killed by me, right!"

Master Kong said.

Luo Ruoxi could not speak.

When they fought, 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 strike at that supreme realm! As for me..."

Master Kong nodded and said: "I care for all living things, wanting to save the world, but I am unwilling to let others sacrifice for me; I am too benevolent, which is also a flaw! If I had been more ruthless and exterminated the Alien Spirit Race, there would not be the current situation..."

If he had been able to exterminate all the Alien Spirit Race people back then, the Ruthless Man would not have been able to resurrect, and there would not be the current situation.

"Therefore, I am also not suitable! And Zhang Xuan, his cultivation method follows his heart, without flaws. He emphasizes living out his true self; even if he dies, as long as he lives without shame, his heart is open and honest. Such a person possesses greater tolerance and greater room for development. Only in this way can one walk higher and further!"

Master Kong continued.

If one lives, one will return; if one dies, one will long for the other!

If one does not even care about death, how could one be constrained by other things?

"This..." Zhang Xuan frowned, just wanting to say something, when he saw Master Kong looking over with burning eyes: "No need to decline. First, there is no time to cultivate others, and even if there were, I don't think anyone could do better than you! Although the Lingxi Sovereign does not have Heavenly Dao fragments in her body, she has controlled the Heavenly Dao for many years and has her own understanding of it. If we pour our power into you, you will possess the power of the complete Heavenly Dao in your body! Cooperating with the clone's Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, you can completely achieve the stabilization of 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, explaining more was useless, so Zhang Xuan nodded.

Boom—!

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

Zhang Xuan's whole body stiffened, and he seemed to transform into the Heavenly Dao in an instant, soaring above the nine heavens.

Soul, physical body, true energy, all received baptism in an instant, becoming stronger and stronger, more and more vigorous.

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

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

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

The Tidal Sea had swallowed almost all the spiritual energy of the God Realm outside the cities, and now these powers had all turned into 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 time, the Ruthless Man seemed to represent the entire God Realm, and no one could stop him.

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

Emperor Yun Chi transformed into his true form, a huge five-clawed golden dragon, pouncing toward him in the air.

"Just you? You are not worthy!"

The Ruthless Man's palm clenched, and the golden dragon hung in his palm; no matter how it struggled, it could not escape.

"Old friend, wait for me!"

Emperor Fu Meng also let out a loud shout, transforming into his white tiger true form, arriving before him in the air.

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

Emperor Xuan Ming, whose true form was a large turtle, seemed to be holding up the heavens.

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

The universe seemed to stabilize in an instant.

Bang bang bang bang!

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

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

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

Immediately after, in the shocked eyes of everyone, a figure walked out slowly from the sky.

It was Zhang Xuan!

At this time, the young man's whole body was surging with power, more than ten times stronger than just now, coming from the sky, as if he himself was a world.

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

The Ruthless Man stopped, his gaze solemn.

He clearly did not understand why, in just a few minutes, the other party's strength had undergone such a huge change.

"However, what if you've increased? Even the God Realm in its prime could not resist me; I don't believe you can block me..."

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

Zhang Xuan raised his long sword and met him.

The two sides fought together, space tearing apart one after another, air currents 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 already dropped to only 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 that surpasses a Sovereign!"

After a moment of silence, Master Kong said.

More than a dozen Sovereigns united, yet could not win against the Ruthless Man; even if they passed all their power to the other party, wanting to win was not that easy.

The reason for doing this was because... power only when concentrated on one person could it possibly touch, could it 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 could not do it. Could the man she loved do it?

"He definitely can... He possesses an unyielding heart! And a 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 Heavenly Dao in his body, he was still no match.

"Haha, I thought you were how powerful, but that's all!" The Ruthless Man smiled coldly.

"Anyway, I am not your match and will be killed sooner or later. Since that is 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 suddenly slapped down.

It was indeed the strongest attack; the entire God Realm let out a roar, as if it were about to be unable to bear it, and was struck out with another huge pit.

Closing his eyes tightly, 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 she had gone crazy.

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

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

The original intention was to let him break through the shackles and strike at the realm beyond the Sovereign realm; why did he not resist and willingly go to his death?

In that case, wouldn't I be failing to live up to their good intentions?

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

Just as they were wondering, Master Kong suddenly spoke.

Everyone then saw that the pendant on the chest of Zhang Xuan, whose head had exploded and whose soul had even shattered, suddenly exploded, and a drop of blood floated up, burning and forming a scorching flame. Inside the flame, an intact figure walked out slowly.

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

Luo Ruoxi's pupils constricted.

After being reborn from the fire, Zhang Xuan actually no longer had the Heavenly Dao library in his body, no longer had the interference of the Heavenly Dao, and had broken away from the Heavenly Dao!

"How did he do it?"

Master Kong was also full of disbelief.

The Heavenly Dao and the soul were fused together, indistinguishable from each other. To break away, he had to have his soul scattered and re-condense his soul with the help of the Ghost Pool.

The person before him was only killed once, and he 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 reacted... A soul contract binds the master and the servant; if the master does not dissolve it, the servant will be constrained forever... The Heavenly Dao library is also like this; it can be said to be an enhanced version of a contract.

It bound the soul, and it would not break away even in death.

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; perhaps he had already had thoughts about it at that time.

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

With the help of this power, he was reborn from the fire; he had not expected that he would indeed achieve great success!

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

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

In an instant, it fused perfectly with himself.

In the blink of an eye, everyone felt that the Zhang Xuan before them seemed to have become the Nine Heavens, and the Nine Heavens was 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, loosened, as if he would break through at any time.

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

With a smile, Zhang Xuan muttered to himself.

The moment the Heavenly Dao library broke away from his soul, he understood.

Is it that humans see the world, and then there is a world, or is it that there 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 for ages.

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

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 intertwines the world.

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

Love is emotion.

Hate is emotion.

Happiness is emotion.

Pain is emotion.

Parting is emotion.

Gathering is also emotion!

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

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

The Sovereign shackles, broken!

In an instant, it was as if he had touched a brand-new world and gate, and his soul received rapid nourishment.

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

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

"You..." The Ruthless Man had not expected that his full-force attack would not only fail to kill him but instead fulfill him. He was so angry that he yelled "Wah wah!", and with a roar, he 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 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 win against me and not be controlled by me?"... With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan's voice became faster and louder, and his palm grabbed lightly.

The Ruthless Man, who had been invincible, was bound together by countless emotional threads, his hands and feet tied, unable to move.

As long as there is emotion, it must be used by him, 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 a soul sacrifice..."

"Saying these things now is already too late..." With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

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

Killing so many people in the God Realm, hurting 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 violent 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 all fed back, and the withered wilderness regained its vitality.

"This..."

"Killed just like that?"

Emperor Yun Chi, the Undying Sovereign, 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 actually wiped out with a wave of his hand. This Zhang Xuan... what kind of level had he reached?

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

"He succeeded..."

Master Kong and Luo Ruoxi loosened their clenched fists.

"This is a part of the Heavenly Dao, so I will return it to the Heavenly Dao now..."

Seeing the 'Heavenly Dao with Defects' that had been separated from his body just now still floating in the air, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and flicked his finger.

Hum!

The library that had accompanied him since his rebirth crashed into the sky of the God Realm.

With a bell-like ringing sound, the God Realm that was constantly collapsing recovered slowly to the naked eye, and the chaotic air currents also gathered together again.

The collapsing God Realm finally stopped, and the withered spiritual energy also 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 already recovered along with the completion of the Heavenly Dao; the God Realm returning to its former glory was only a matter of time.

"Zhang Xuan, come over here..."

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

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

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

"Senior, you..."

Seeing that 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, and was unknown how many times stronger than the previous Luo Ruoxi.

"You can 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, flying an unknown distance, and stopped before 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 even more powerful than his; he had also broken through the Sovereign shackles, and his cultivation was even more profound and heavy!

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

"Ruoxi's father?"

Zhang Xuan was shocked: "You... are the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm?"

Luo Ruoxi had said before that her father was the Heavenly Dao; he could not have imagined that it would be such a young man.

"I transformed into the Three Pure Ones; a part of my soul became the Heavenly Dao! Besides, this world was created by me; saying I am the Heavenly Dao is not wrong!" Nie Yun smiled faintly.

Zhang Xuan could not 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 Heavenly Dao, why did you let the Ruthless Man run wild without making a move..." Zhang Xuan looked over.

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

And even not care about his daughter's life or death?

Not answering his question, Nie Yun looked over faintly: "Do you think... above the God Realm, are there more powerful life forms?"

"This..." Zhang Xuan paused for a moment: "There should be..."

Although he had not seen them, since he could cultivate to this realm, perhaps others could too, and even be stronger.

Just like this 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 peek, eventually attracting the backlash of a higher world... A palm broke through the air and struck down!"

Nie Yun looked over: "At that time, if I had dodged, it is very likely that the entire God Realm would have been wiped out, and there would not be half a life form left... So, I blocked that move, but because of this, the Heavenly Dao I transformed into was split apart."

"In this situation, if I wanted to recover, it would only take a thought, 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 was outside the God Realm... relying on me alone would be very difficult. So, I wanted to see if there were any life forms that could break through the Sovereign shackles and reach the same level as me!"

"Therefore, I sent the scattered Heavenly Dao thoughts to the lowest-level world... separately bestowing them upon a soul that originally belonged to this world, and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you, in the end, did not let me down!"

Nie Yun smiled.

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

No wonder he was able to transmigrate here; he had not expected it was all done by this person before him.

"Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly and said: "Originally belonging to this world, one has awe toward the world, and wanting to break through the shackles of the world is much more difficult. I also just had a thought; I did not expect that you would really be able to succeed..."

"I..." Zhang Xuan's face turned red: "If it weren't for Master Kong, I would never have been able to reach this level..."... 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 fight 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 spirit of advancing courageously. 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 fight between the two of them at the time, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat lacking in decisiveness.

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

Unfortunately, in that one thought, he missed the opportunity to advance.

"If Master Kong 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 will not die..." Nie Yun smiled faintly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think, at a life-and-death juncture, if you want to save someone, can you do it?"

"This..." Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.

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

"Lingxi was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so the name she disguised herself with has the surname Luo... In order to make her believe it and not act on emotion, she has always thought that 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 explain this matter to her. After all, her heart has already shifted to you, and I, this old father, probably won't even be thought of... 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 the world 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 Heavenly Dao library was transformed by a thought of mine; it is the foundation and also the shackle. That you could break through the shackles with your own ability shows your ability and potential. Your future is limitless. My daughter being with you, as a father, can be considered comforted."
