Taking Leave

Just like the Undying Emperor Sovereign Little Yellow Chick, who was previously only a God King but is now an Emperor, he still couldn't resolve this agreement.

To prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing a backlash, the Famous Teacher Continent specifically stipulated that even if the other party could break free from the Book of Heaven's Path, he would not be able to break free from the agreement between souls!

"Soul Contract cannot indeed be severed from the sea of consciousness, but I have fused with a special gas that can even dissolve the Heaven's Way, so dissolving this kind of contract is not difficult... As long as there is enough power, bombarding the location of the contract will suffice!"

Ruthless Way.

Soul Contract is based on the Heaven's Way. Special powers can even dissolve the Heavenly Heaven's Way of the God Realm, so what difficulty is there in dissolving a Soul Contract if handled properly?

"I see..." Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

"I've told you all this as a way of thanking you for bringing me to the God Realm!"

After explaining, the ruthless man said no more. His Aura became even more ancient and profound, and the black hole behind him grew even larger. Clearly, while he was speaking, he had absorbed an unknown amount of power and used it for nourishment.

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

Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong and quickly sent a telepathic message.

"Let's get started!" With all his doubts dispelled, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, his longsword suddenly raised. "Since that's the case, let's see who's the best!"

Boom!

The most powerful Sword Intent was unleashed once again.

If I live, I will return; if I die, I will forever yearn for you!

I care not for life or death, so what can possibly stop me?

Although this sword technique was not as advanced as the Emperor's, it contained all his inner obsessions and brought the Heaven's If Affectionate Cultivation Method within him to its limit.

Call!

With a single sword strike, he cleaved the ruthless man's attack in two.

At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made her move, her jade-like hand flashing, the sword light as white as snow.

Her swordsmanship was somewhat similar to that of the young man from Sword God Heaven, carrying an indomitable spirit and the unrestrained elegance of the Great Dao.

"Your techniques are impressive, but compared to mine, they're still lacking..."

With a slight smile, the ruthless man reached down again.

In an instant, it blotted out the sky, its palm covering the entire world, shattering space, and making it seem as if the sun, moon, and stars were about to be forcibly knocked down.

Pfft! Pfft!

Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi were both sent flying backwards, spitting blood as they flew through the air.

Even with their combined strength, they couldn't withstand it!

Just what level has this guy reached?

"Insolence!" The clone strode forward, and with each step, lotus flowers bloomed, accompanied by the sound of flowing water in the void.

From a distance, it looks incredibly sophisticated.

Having refined the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation level was in no way weaker than Zhang Xuan's.

With a single punch, the power soared to the heavens.

When clashing with a ruthless opponent, he too was sent flying backward, unable to withstand a single blow.

Zhang Xuan covered her forehead.

Even after becoming an emperor, his clone still retains his arrogant nature...

Such flashy showing off is less effective than concentrating your power for greater impact!

"Let's attack together, otherwise, if they die, we'll all die..."

The Little Yellow Chick let out a loud shout, and crimson flames ignited, as if the sky itself had been set ablaze.

The remaining six emperors also unleashed their own methods.

The seven emperors joined forces, their power capable of destroying heaven and earth, and even a vast world could not withstand them. However, their opponent was a ruthless individual who had absorbed special power. As the attack approached, the black hole suddenly expanded, swallowing up the power in the blink of an eye, and then launched a counterattack.

Bang bang bang bang!

Like Zhang Xuan and the others, the seven emperors were sent flying backwards.

Even the ten emperors, united as one, couldn't withstand a single blow from their opponent!

How can this guy be so powerful?

"You can die now..."

With a single move, he defeated everyone. The ruthless man stepped forward, flicked his wrist, and struck down again.

"How dare you, you scoundrel!"

With a loud shout, the old man who had previously appeared Sword God Heaven suddenly appeared, blocking his way, his long sword transforming into a silver river.

"The Emperor? He's also at the Emperor level?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

The old man had initially followed the young man, assuming he was merely a follower, at most a titled God-King. Only after the young man unleashed his power did he discover that he was actually an Emperor-level expert!

If he is the emperor, then what is that young man?

"He is the Emperor of the Sword God Heaven..." Luo Ruoxi said through gritted teeth as she struggled to her feet.

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

"He is..." Luo Ruoxi was about to answer when the space twisted and she saw that the Emperor of Sword God Heaven was also sent flying backward, landing not far away and creating a large crater.

Zhang Xuan's current strength and understanding of swordsmanship far surpass his own, and he cannot withstand her. Even though Zhang Xuan's cultivation is not weak and his swordsmanship is superb, he is still no match for her.

"Haha, Your Majesty, you're nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs! Today I will annihilate the Nine Heavens, destroy this God Realm, and flatten all the rules!"

After defeating the Emperor of Sword God Heaven, the ruthless man laughed maniacally, causing the surrounding space to collapse continuously, making him appear like a demon.

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

Just now, he and his clone had both unleashed their strongest fighting power, and even Luo Ruoxi in front of him had used her strongest move, yet they still couldn't withstand a single attack from the opponent...

Is it really true that no one in the God Realm can stop this person before them?

Let him destroy the world?

"The only way... is to return your Heavenly Dao Deficiency to the Heaven's Way itself, and let the Heaven's Way suppress it..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her fists, her eyes reddening.

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

The library in one's mind is part of the Heaven's Way. Once it returns, the Heaven's Way will be completely complete, and perhaps the loopholes can be repaired, allowing the self to expel the ruthless person.

It's just like the human immune system.

A healthy immune system can easily expel viruses; a compromised immune system can not resist viral invasion, and even the strongest person can die.

Only...

"He's too powerful. Even if the Heaven's Way were to be restored to its full strength, it wouldn't be able to suppress him!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

The immune system can kill viruses, but... what about tigers?

Even the strongest immune system can't do anything about it.

The one before them was merely an ordinary God-King; even without a title, the Heaven's Way could easily kill him. He was far more powerful than an Emperor... and was beyond the Heaven's Way's ability to contend with.

"This..." Luo Ruoxi paused, a look of disappointment appearing on her fair face. "Yes... there's no way to suppress him, but if the Heaven's Way is complete, he can awaken, and killing him won't be difficult!"

"Him?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

"I'll take you to see him, right here in Free Heaven..." Taking a deep breath, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth, turned around, and flew forward.

"Trying to escape?" The ruthless man sneered and pressed down.

Bang!

Luo Ruoxi fell from the sky.

"You..." Zhang Xuan unleashed his sword technique once more, his Sword Intent shining brightly.

Ding ding ding!

He was blocked by a ruthless person once again.

"You all go quickly, I'll hold him off..."

Knowing that they were looking for a way to save the God Realm instead of escaping, the clone and the Undying Emperor Sovereign shouted and blocked their way. Luo Qiqi also transformed and returned to her original form, the Still Emptiness Pearl.

The surrounding space froze.

"Walk!"

Seeing everyone bravely standing behind him, fearless of death, Zhang Xuan's eyes reddened. However, he knew that now was not the time to say anything more. He pulled Luo Ruoxi, his body swayed, and he tore through space, appearing in the range of Free Heaven in the next moment.

The realm of Free Heaven is no longer as carefree as it once was; the God Realm has collapsed, and chaos reigns everywhere.

Where is the person you're talking about?

Not having time to observe the lives of ordinary people, Zhang Xuan looked at the girl in her arms.

If the person she speaks of can truly save the God Realm, what does it matter if I sacrifice myself!

"He is my father. The blood in your pendant is his. The Undying Emperor Sovereign was once his beast pet..." Luo Ruoxi explained after taking a breath.

"Father?"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

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

This explains why the will left behind by the Undying Emperor Sovereign immediately recognized him as its master upon seeing the pendant.

"Is your father also an Emperor? Or does he possess power surpassing that of an Emperor?"

I couldn't help but say.

The chaos in the library, the blood in the pendant—it was what brought her back to her senses. Could it be that not only was she an emperor, but her father was too, or even more powerful?

If that's the case, then why did he fall into a coma?

Does the Heavenly Dao Deficiency for it to become clear-headed?

"He is not an emperor, but... the Heaven's Way!"

Luo Ruoxi clenched her fists.

"The Heaven's Way? Your father... is the Heaven's Way?" Zhang Xuan was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Yes! Fifty years ago, my father couldn't withstand that giant hand and fell into a coma. The Heaven's Way collapsed into three parts: the orderly Heaven's Way and the Heavenly Dao Deficiency, which entered the Spatial Turbulence. I took over the control of the Heaven's Way's natural state to maintain the balance of the God Realm. To restore him, the only way is to gather the scattered parts... That's why I was so determined; I couldn't afford to fail! That's why I specifically entered the Continent of Famous Teacher to study the Spring and Autumn Canon and find a way to defeat Kong Shi! When I fought Kong Shi, this was the matter I asked him to handle."

Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

Famous Teacher girl in front of me had told me her story not long after I met her, about saving a close relative. I didn't understand it then, but now it all makes sense.

It was actually her father, and he was even the Heaven's Way of the God Realm!

Can the Heaven's Way truly take human form and reproduce?

"To control the natural order of Heaven's Way on your behalf... There are no fragments of the Heaven's Way within you?" Suddenly, realizing something was off about her words, Zhang Xuan looked over.

Taking control on behalf of someone else, and integrating oneself into one's own body, are two different concepts.

"I am merely in control, not a part of the Heaven's Way..." Luo Ruoxi said.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, all that's needed is for her to separate the Heavenly Dao Deficiency; she doesn't necessarily need to die as well.

Although he didn't want to accept this fate, he also didn't want the girl in front of him to be hurt.

"If I remove the Heavenly Dao Deficiency from your body, your father can come back to life and even kill the ruthless man, right?" Zhang Xuan asked.

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

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

The God Realm is Father's foundation. Now that the foundation is in such a state, even if he regains his senses, can he truly defeat that powerful and ruthless person?

It's hard to say!

"It seems you're not entirely sure either. In that case, it's better to rely on ourselves than others... We have no choice but to find a way ourselves!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth. "You, me, my clone, and the Nine Heavens and Nine Emperors, if we also cooperate with Kong Shi, we might actually win!"

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

"Kong Shi is dead, isn't he? He didn't truly die. If I'm not mistaken, you killed him merely as a means to escape the Heaven's Way... If I'm not mistaken, he should be like Wei Changfeng, a [Innate Embryonic Soul Body]!"

Zhang Xuan said.

Upon seeing Wei Changfeng, it became clear that what Kong Shi meant by maintaining one's intelligence was that, like him, one possessed Innate Embryonic Soul Body.

It can prevent confusion during pregnancy.

With the backup plan in place, revival is only a matter of time.

Luo Ruoxi was stunned, seemingly not expecting this to be the case.

"We'll know once we go and see. You guessed right, he should have recovered. Otherwise, his students wouldn't have stayed away from the Tidal Sea..." Zhang Xuan said.

Kong Shi's students, including the ancient sage Ziyuan, were all powerful. Even without the Emperor's help, they would surely have found a way to enter the Tidal Sea, but none of them were seen.

There must be something more important waiting for them, something they want to do while all the emperors are away at the Tidal Sea and have no time to attend to it!

And this important matter was clearly about restoring Kong Shi.

"This..." Luo Ruoxi was shocked and suddenly realized.

Let's go!

Without further explanation, Zhang Xuan made a single gesture and returned to the place where Kong Shi lived. Sure enough, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged, floating in the air. Upon seeing them arrive, the old man smiled slightly and said, "You've come!"

If not Kong Shi, then who is he!

This teacher for all ages has indeed not disappointed me!

Just as predicted, it revived while everyone's attention was focused on the Tidal Sea.

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

She knew the Emperor could be resurrected, Undying Emperor Sovereign had also come back to life, but... she didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

"I concealed my Heaven's Way and prepared a backup plan beforehand. The nameless giant in the Netherworld Soul Pool was one I left behind. You killed it that day, and I used the opportunity to break free from the Heaven's Way Dao's shackles and re-form my physical body. I've only just recovered!"

Kong Shi smiled slightly.

He was proficient in time manipulation; what appeared to be only one or two days in the God Realm was actually an unknown amount of time spent recovering his power.

Several decades have passed.

"The three of us are indeed very strong, but defeating such a ruthless person won't be so easy..."

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

This isn't about boosting others' morale while diminishing our own; it's simply a fact.

Even with so many people working together, we couldn't stop them. What difference would it make if we added another Kong Shi?

This won't change the situation!

"Our individual strength, or even our combined strength, is indeed no match for the enemy, but... what if we combined everyone's power into one person?"

Kong Shi looked over with a smile.

"Integrated into one person?"

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

"That palm could tear apart the God Realm and shatter the Heaven's Way. Its power is undeniable. The ruthless one absorbed all of that power and devoured fifty years' worth of Spirit Qi from the God Realm. In terms of sheer strength, even if we, a dozen or so emperors, were to face it individually, we would indeed be no match..."

Kong Shi said, "But if we unite and concentrate our strength on one person... that's not necessarily the case!"

How to concentrate?

Luo Ruoxi, look over here.

It's easier said than done.

The Emperor has already reached the pinnacle of the God Realm. If it were so easy to absorb the power of others, she wouldn't have stagnated for so many years.

"It's simple... We'll concentrate our power on Zhang Xuan. Once he breaks through the Emperor's shackles, we can save the God Realm!"

Kong Shi said.

"Me?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "Why me?"

"The Lingxi Emperor Sovereign cultivates freedom and transcendence from nature! But with the constraints of his father and the Heaven's Way, and with people he cares about, he can never truly transcend! If I'm not mistaken, when you fought me back then, you also gave up, intending to be killed by me!"

Kong Shi said.

Luo Ruoxi was speechless.

During the fight, they did indeed have this intention, so at the beginning of their exchange, they each held back their moves, making it seem like a friendly spar rather than a life-or-death struggle.

"Without transcending this state, one cannot unleash their full power. Even with abundant true energy, they still cannot reach that supreme realm! As for me..."

Kong Shi nodded and said, "He has the well-being of all people in his heart and wants to save the world, yet he is unwilling to let others sacrifice for him. Too much compassion is also a flaw! If he had been more ruthless and exterminated the alien Spirit Clan, the current situation would not exist..."

If the Spirit Clan had been completely wiped out back then, the ruthless man would not have been able to be resurrected, and the current situation would not exist.

"Therefore, I'm not suitable either! But Zhang Xuan's Cultivation Method is smooth and flawless. He values living authentically; even if he dies, as long as he has lived without regrets, he will have a clear conscience. Such a person possesses greater tolerance and greater potential for development. Only in this way can one go higher and further!"

Kong Shi continued.

If I live, I will return; if I die, I will forever yearn for you!

If you don't even care about death, how can you be bound by anything else?

"This..." Zhang Xuan frowned, about to say something, when he saw Kong Shi looking at him intently. "No need to refuse. First, say there's not enough time to train others. Even if there were time, I don't think anyone could do better than you! Although the Lingxi Emperor Sovereign doesn't have any fragments of the Heaven's Way within him, he has controlled the Heaven's Way for many years and has his own understanding of Heaven's Way; I control the Heaven's Way in an orderly manner. If we infuse our power into you, you will possess the complete power of the Heaven's Way within you! Combined with the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus of your clone, you can completely stabilize the Nine Heavens, control the universe, fight against the Nine Heavens, and destroy all things!"

"All right!"

Seeing that the other party had already made a decision, and that further explanation would be useless, Zhang Xuan nodded.

Boom!

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

Zhang Xuan froze, as if he had instantly transformed into the Heaven's Way, soaring above the nine heavens.

Soul, body, and vital energy were all baptized in an instant, becoming stronger and more powerful.

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

After sending Luo Qiqi and her clone flying, the ruthless man gave a cold laugh.

The combined power of his clones and numerous emperors was indeed formidable, but compared to him, it was still somewhat weaker.

The Tidal Sea devoured almost all the Spirit Qi outside the city of the God Realm. Now, all this power has been transformed into its host. With every move it makes, it carries the power to destroy heaven and earth. These emperors and god kings, despite representing the pinnacle of the God Realm, are still no match for it.

At this moment, the ruthless man seemed to represent the entire God Realm, and no one could stop him.

"With the destruction of the God Realm, our lives are meaningless. I, Yun Chi, will perish together with you..."

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

"You? You're not worthy!"

With a clenched fist, the golden dragon was trapped in the palm of the ruthless man, unable to escape no matter how much it struggled.

"Old friend, wait for me!"

Emperor Fu Meng roared and transformed into his true form as a white tiger, arriving in front of him through the air.

The Undying Emperor Sovereign and the Undying Fire Phoenix revealed themselves, their flames illuminating the sky.

The Xuanming Emperor, in his true form, is a giant tortoise, seemingly supporting all the heavens.

The four Divine Beast guard the four corners of the God Realm. Simultaneously, as they change their forms, the collapsing God Realm slows down.

The universe seemed to freeze in an instant.

Bang bang bang bang!

With four consecutive strikes, the ruthless man suppressed the four beasts, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish..."

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

"You want to kill them? Did you even ask me first...?"

Then, to everyone's astonishment, a figure slowly walked out of the air.

It was Zhang Xuan!

At this moment, the youth's entire body was surging with power, more than ten times stronger than before. He seemed to have come from the sky, as if his whole being was a world unto itself.

"You've made a lot of progress..."

The ruthless man stopped, his gaze turning serious.

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

"So what if there are more? Even the God Realm at its peak couldn't withstand it. I don't believe you can stop me..."

With a cold snort, the ruthless man brought his hand down again.

Zhang Xuan raised his longsword and charged forward.

The two sides clashed, tearing apart space and sending air currents swirling wildly.

Can Zhang Xuan win?

Free Heaven the Barracks Kong Shi in Zizaitian, Luo Ruoxi looked over with worry.

She and Kong Shi transferred their power to Zhang Xuan, but her own cultivation level had dropped to only the God-King level, not as glorious as before.

However, given the current level, as long as the power is sufficient, one day it can be restored.

"With his current strength, it would be very difficult to defeat him! Unless... he can comprehend a power surpassing that of an Emperor!"

After a moment of silence, Kong Shi said.

Even if more than a dozen emperors joined forces, they could not defeat the ruthless person. Even if they transferred all their power to him, it would not be easy for him to win.

The reason for doing this is that... only when power is concentrated in one person can one possibly reach the pinnacle, truly transcend limits, and break through one's own limitations!

"Power surpassing that of an emperor?"

Luo Ruoxi's gaze was distant.

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

"He can definitely do it... He has an indomitable spirit and an unyielding pride in this world."

Seeing the question in her mind, Kong Shi smiled and said...

Bang bang bang!

After several consecutive moves, Zhang Xuan's tiger's mouth split open, and a huge, terrifying wound appeared on his chest.

Just as Kong Shi said, even if he merged the power of the two of them and formed a complete Heaven's Way within his body, he was still no match for them.

"Haha, I thought you were something special, but you're nothing special!" The ruthless man sneered.

"Anyway, I'm no match for you, and 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 attacking and instead looked at the ruthless man in front of him.

"Alright, I'll grant your wish and give you my strongest attack..."

Hearing him say that, the ruthless man was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and raised his hand.

Whoosh!

A beam of blue light appeared in his palm and slammed down.

It was indeed the strongest attack; the entire God Realm roared, as if it could barely withstand it, and was once again blasted into a huge crater.

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

Bang!

My head exploded, and my soul scattered in all directions.

"Zhang Xuan..." Everyone turned pale upon seeing this.

Luo Qiqi seemed to have gone mad.

Emperor Yun Chi and the others stared wide-eyed, trembling incessantly.

Kong Shi and Luo Ruoxi were both stunned when they saw this.

The original intention was to let him break through his limitations and strive to surpass the Emperor Realm. Why didn't he resist and willingly face death?

Wouldn't that be a waste of their good intentions?

"No, it's the Undying Emperor Sovereign's method of Undying..."

Just as I was wondering, Kong Shi suddenly spoke.

Everyone then saw Zhang Xuan, whose head had exploded and whose soul had shattered, suddenly have the pendant on his chest explode. A drop of blood floated up, ignited, and formed a blazing flame. From within the flame, an unharmed figure slowly emerged.

"He... used the other party's power and the blood in the pendant to separate the Heavenly Dao Deficiency from his soul?"

Luo Ruoxi's pupils contracted.

After being reborn from the ashes, Zhang Xuan found that the Library of Heaven's Path was no longer within his body, and he was no longer subject to the interference of the Heaven's Way, thus breaking free from its Heaven's Way!

How did he do that?

Kong Shi was also filled with disbelief.

The Heaven's Way and the soul were merged together, inseparable. In order to break free, he had to scatter his soul and reassemble it using the Netherworld Soul Pool.

The person before me escaped completely after only being slashed once. What method did they use?

"I understand... He used a ruthless method to break free from the Soul Contract..." Luo Ruoxi realized.

Soul Contract binds a master and servant; if the master does not sever the contract, the servant will be forever bound... The Library of Heaven's Path works in the same way, which can be considered an enhanced version of the contract.

Bound to the soul, Undying.

But... the ruthless person used that special power to break free from the Soul Contract. Zhang Xuan had inquired about the specific method in detail before, and he probably had his eye on it back then.

That's why he deliberately risked his life to force the opponent to unleash its strongest attack on him.

With the help of this power, they were reborn from the ashes, and unexpectedly, they achieved great success!

"So that's how it is. This is the method to break through to the Emperor level..."

Zhang Xuan emerged from the flames with a faint smile on his face, as if he had understood something. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and his clone on one side immediately transformed back into a lotus flower and flew over.

In an instant, it merged perfectly with itself.

In the blink of an eye, everyone felt that Zhang Xuan in front of them had transformed into Jiutian, and Jiutian was him.

He lightly stomped his foot 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 were perfectly integrated and inseparable, which meant that he had mastered this power.

Moreover, having merged with the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his already peak cultivation level began to weaken, and he seemed poised to break through at any moment.

"The bonds of master and servant, brotherhood, teacher and student, parent and child, love... all these intertwine to form the entirety of the world; this is what makes a person human!"

With a smile on her face, Zhang Xuan murmured to herself.

The moment the Library of Heaven's Path detached from his soul, he understood.

Did humans come to know the world and then the world came into being, or did the world come first and then humans?

Is it the wind that moves, or the heart that moves?

This question has perplexed countless people since ancient times.

Of course, now... none of that matters anymore!

What meaning would the world have, even if it existed, if it had no life and no emotions?

Therefore, beyond love, lies the compassion of all beings! It is the intertwined emotions of the world.

Everything in the world has feelings; only with feelings can the world exist, and only with feelings can life continue.

Love is affection.

Hatred is a form of emotion.

Happiness is an emotion.

Pain is emotion.

Parting is an emotion.

Gathering together is also a form of affection!

"Countless emotions, at my disposal..."

With a low shout, the realm that had been imprisoned within Zhang Xuan's body was instantly broken.

The Emperor's shackles have been broken!

In an instant, it felt as if I had touched a completely new world and opened a door to it, and my soul was quickly nourished.

Countless Chaos energies surged over, and the physical body also rapidly improved.

Previously, I could only improve by absorbing spiritual energy, but now I can possess Spatial Turbulence, Chaos energy, and even the opponent's azure light, without distinction between them.

"You..." The ruthless man never expected that his all-out attack would not only fail to kill him, but would instead help him achieve his goal. He was so angry that he yelled "Wah wah!" and attacked again with a furious roar.

"You resent the high and mighty Emperor for not saving you in the Spatial Turbulence —that's emotion; you feel inferior and angry at having been my servant—that's emotion; you want to destroy the God Realm to vent your anger—that's emotion; you want to become stronger—that's also emotion... Emotions control you, so how can you possibly defeat me and avoid being controlled by me?"

With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan's voice grew faster and louder, and she gently grasped her hand.

The once invincible and ruthless person was now bound together by countless threads of emotion, restricted and unable to move.

As long as there is affection, one will be used and controlled by him!

"You..."

The ruthless man's eyes were filled with terror. "Master Zhang, I am your servant, please don't kill me... I'm willing to offer my soul as a sacrifice..."

"It's too late to say all this now..." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and shook his head.

Having gained control over the affairs of the world, servants and the like held no meaning for him anymore.

Having killed so many god-level beings, injured his girlfriend, Luo Qiqi, and so many friends, how could he possibly forgive them today!

"No..."

Sensing his decisiveness, the ruthless man's pupils contracted, and before he could finish speaking, he immediately felt a sharp pain throughout his body.

Bang!

In an instant, it exploded, transforming into countless Spirit Qi that surged into all parts of the God Realm.

All the power that the Tidal Sea had previously swallowed up is now being returned, and the barren wasteland is being revitalized.

"This..."

"You killed him like that?"

The Yun Chi Emperor, the Undying Emperor Sovereign, Fairy Linglong, and the others all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

They had just fought against a ruthless person and knew how terrifying he was. Such a powerful individual was easily wiped out; just how powerful was Zhang Xuan?

Is there truly another realm above the Emperor?

He succeeded...

Kong Shi and Luo Ruoxi loosened their clenched fists.

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

Seeing the "Heavenly Dao Deficiency" that had just been separated from his body still floating in the air, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and flicked his finger.

Buzz!

The library that had accompanied him since his rebirth was suddenly embedded in the sky above the God Realm.

With a resounding bell, the crumbling God Realm began to slowly but surely recover, and the chaotic air currents began to gather again.

The collapsing God Realm finally came to a halt, and the depleted Spirit Qi, along with the death of the ruthless man, slowly began to revive.

"It seems the God Realm is about to usher in a new era of Spirit Qi revival..." Zhang Xuan smiled.

The hole in the Tidal Sea has been repaired with the restoration of the Heaven's Way, and it is only a matter of time before the God Realm returns to its former glory.

"Zhang Xuan, this way..."

Just as he finished doing all that, a voice rang in his mind. Zhang Xuan paused for a moment, then took a step forward.

This step, which took an unknown distance, led to a young man standing before him.

It was the same person who had taught him swordsmanship before.

"Senior, you..."

Zhang Xuan was taken aback when she saw it was him.

I had always thought this person was unfathomable, but now I realize that she is only slightly inferior to me. She has already reached the pinnacle of the Emperor and is far more powerful than Luo Ruoxi before.

"Just call me by my name, my name is... Nie Tong!" The young man exuded an indomitable Sword Intent as he spoke calmly.

"Nie Tong?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

This is the first time I've heard this name.

"Come with 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 for an unknown distance before stopping in front of a mountain peak.

Then they saw another young man.

He wasn't much older than him, with raised eyebrows that gave him a deep and unfathomable look.

"This strength..." Zhang Xuan trembled.

The young man before him was even stronger than him, having also broken through the shackles of the Emperor level, and his cultivation was far more profound and substantial!

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

"Ruoxi's father?"

Zhang Xuan was shocked. "You... are the Heaven's Way of the God Realm?"

Luo Ruoxi had previously said that her father was the Heaven's Way, and she never imagined that he would be such a young man.

"I One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and a part of my soul became the Heaven's Way! Besides, I created this world, so it's not unreasonable to say that I am the Heaven's Way!" Nie Yun smiled faintly.

Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

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

How strong must he be?

"No, if you created the God Realm and you are the Heaven's Way, why do you allow the ruthless people to run rampant without taking action..." Zhang Xuan looked over.

If it weren't for his own breakthrough, the God Realm would most likely have completely collapsed. Why is this person in front of him ignoring it all?

He even cares about his daughter's life and death?

Without answering his question, Nie Yun glanced at him indifferently. "Do you believe... there are even more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

"Well..." Zhang Xuan paused for a moment, "I think so..."

Although I've never seen him, since he can cultivate to this level, perhaps others can too, or even be stronger.

Just like the person in front of me.

"I once suspected that there were even more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I used all my strength to spy on them, which ultimately provoked a backlash from a higher world... A palm descended from the sky!"

Nie Yun looked over. "If I had dodged back then, the entire God Realm would most likely have been wiped out, with not a single life left... So, I blocked the attack, but as a result, my Heavenly Heaven's Way was split off."

"In this situation, I could restore it with just a thought, but... I understand that truly transcending the shackles of the God Realm to explore the origin of the hand and what lies beyond the God Realm... is difficult for me to do alone. Therefore, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the Emperor and reach the same level as me!"

"Therefore, the scattered will of Heaven's Way was sent to the deepest world... bestowed upon one soul that originally belonged to this world, and another that did not. And you, in the end, did not disappoint me!"

Nie Yun smiled.

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

No wonder, I was able to travel through time; it was all thanks to the person in front of me.

"Hehe!" Nie Yun chuckled softly and said, "Being born into this world inherently brings with it a sense of awe. Breaking through the world's constraints is far more difficult. I only had a fleeting thought, and I never expected you to actually succeed..."

"I..." Zhang Xuan blushed, "If it weren't for Kong Shi, I could never have reached this level..."

Without Kong Shi's selfless dedication, it would have been impossible to reach the level he has achieved today.

"I gave him the opportunity, but he didn't seize it. The duel with Lingxi was actually his best chance to break through, but unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking he had a backup plan and could escape unscathed. In reality, he lost his courage and drive. If we don't even have this much spirit when facing someone who surpasses us, how can we possibly contend with them?"

Nie Yun said.

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

He had witnessed their fight firsthand, and Kong Shi did indeed lack decisiveness.

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

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

"If Kong Shi wins, Ruoxi will die..." After a moment, Zhang Xuan looked over, his eyebrows furrowing.

Could it be that this man doesn'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, given our combined strength, we could save someone in Life-and-Death Retreat?"

"This..." Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

Breaking through to the level of an Emperor and being an Emperor are two different concepts. If he were truly willing to intervene, he could indeed save the person at the last moment, and he would guarantee that the person would not suffer any injury whatsoever.

"Lingxi was born to my other wife Luo Qingcheng, so her disguised name is Luo... In order to keep her from acting on her emotions, she still believes I'm in a coma..."

Nie Yun gave a wry smile, "I've really gone too far as a father... Here's what we'll do, you should explain this to her. After all, her attention has already shifted to you, and I, her old man, probably don't even remember her anymore... Haha, I'll stay away for a while and avoid her for a bit, otherwise, I'm really afraid she'll cause a huge uproar..."

Seeing his unreliable father, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had no choice but to agree, "Alright..."

There was nothing I could do even if they refused; it was my own fault for kidnapping someone's daughter...

"The Library of Heaven's Path is a manifestation of my will; it is both the foundation and the constraint. Your ability to break through this constraint demonstrates your capability and potential, indicating a bright future. As a father, I am truly gratified that my daughter can be with you."
