Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 37 Black Grinding
A soul contract, connected at the very soul, could not be undone unless broken by its originator, regardless of the opponent's capabilities.
It was like the Undying Emperor, Little Chick. He had only been a God Monarch before, but even as an Emperor, he couldn't resolve such an agreement.
To prevent such people from going back on their word or turning on them, the Master Teacher Continent had specifically decreed that even if someone could escape the Book of Heaven's Path, they couldn't escape the agreement between souls!
"A soul contract indeed cannot be split from the consciousness, but I have merged with a special gas that can even resolve the Heavenly Daos. It is not difficult to resolve this contract… as long as there is enough power to bombard the location of the contract!"
Ruthless said.
A soul contract was established on the foundation of the Heavenly Daos. If this special power could even resolve the Heavenly Daos of the God Realm, resolving a soul contract would be simple as long as it was handled properly.
"So that's how it is…" Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.
"Telling you all this is my way of thanking you for bringing me to the God Realm!"
After explaining, Ruthless said no more. The aura around her became increasingly ancient, and the black hole behind her grew larger, obviously having devoured an unknown amount of power while speaking.
"Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole devours, the stronger she becomes…"
Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong and quickly transmitted her voice.
"Let's get ready to attack!" With his doubts resolved, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath. The longsword in his hand suddenly rose. "If that's the case, let's see what you're really capable of!"
Boom!
The most powerful sword intent was once again unleashed.
Live, and I will return; die, and my thoughts will linger forever!
With life and death of no concern, what could stop him?
Although this sword technique wasn't at the level of an Emperor's comprehension, it contained all the obsessions in his heart, pushing the *Tian Ruo You Qing* (If Heavens Have Sentiments) Technique within his body to its limit.
Whoosh!
One sword cut Ruthless's attack in half.
At the same time, Luo Ruoxi also made her move, her jade hands swirling, her sword light like snow.
Her swordplay was somewhat similar to that of the young man from Sword God Heaven, carrying an indomitable spirit and the natural grace of the Great Dao.
"Your moves are powerful, but compared to me, they are still lacking…"
With a gentle smile, Ruthless grabbed down again.
In an instant, the sky was covered, and her palm enveloped the heavens and earth. Space shattered, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed to be forcibly struck down.
Pfft! Pfft!
Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi were simultaneously sent flying, spewing blood in mid-air.
With their combined strength, they couldn't withstand her!
What realm had this person reached?
"Impudence!" The clone strode forward. With each step, lotuses bloomed, and the sound of flowing water echoed in the void.
From afar, he exuded an imposing aura.
Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Gold Lotus, his cultivation was no weaker than Zhang Xuan's.
With a punch, his power soared to the heavens.
Colliding with Ruthless, he was also sent flying, unable to withstand a single blow.
Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.
Even after becoming an Emperor, the clone still couldn't change his nature of showing off…
Such flamboyant showing off was not as effective as concentrating his power!
"Attack together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die…"
Little Chick roared, red flames burning, as if the sky had been ignited. The remaining six Emperors also displayed their abilities.
The combined force of the seven Emperors was world-shattering, and nothing could withstand them. However, their opponent was Ruthless, who had absorbed a special power. As the attacks approached, the black hole suddenly expanded, devouring all the power in the blink of an eye, before counterattacking.
Bang bang bang bang!
The seven Emperors, like Zhang Xuan and the others, were sent flying.
The ten Emperors, united together, couldn't even withstand a single blow from her!
How could this person be so powerful?
"You may die now…"
Having defeated everyone with one move, Ruthless stepped forward, flipped her wrist, and slapped down again.
"How dare you, rat!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Sword God Heaven suddenly appeared, blocking the attack. The longsword in his hand transformed into a Milky Way.
"An Emperor? He is also an Emperor?"
Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.
This old man had been following behind the young man, and he had assumed that he was just an attendant. Only now, when he unleashed his power, did he realize that he was also an Emperor.
If he was an Emperor, what was that young man?
"He is originally an Emperor of Sword God Heaven…" Struggling to stand, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth.
"Then… what about the young man who taught me swordsmanship?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"He is…" Just as Luo Ruoxi was about to answer, the space twisted, and the Emperor from Sword God Heaven was sent flying, crashing into the distance and creating a large pit.
Zhang Xuan's current strength and understanding of the Sword Dao far surpassed his. Even he could not withstand the attack, and so despite his powerful cultivation and sword skills, he was no match for her.
"Haha, Emperors, just a bunch of good-for-nothings! Today, I will destroy the Nine Heavens, destroy this God Realm, and flatten all the rules!"
Having defeated the Emperor of Sword God Heaven, Ruthless laughed madly. The surrounding space collapsed continuously, making her seem like a demon.
"What should we do?" Zhang Xuan clenched his fists.
Earlier, he and his clone had unleashed their strongest fighting power, and even Luo Ruoxi had used her most powerful move, but they couldn't withstand a single blow from her…
Could it be that no one in the God Realm could stop this person?
Would they allow him to destroy the world?
"The only way… is to return your Flawed Heavenly Dao to the Heavenly Dao itself, allowing the Heavenly Dao to suppress him…" Luo Ruoxi clenched her fists, her eyes reddening.
"Return to the Heavenly Dao itself?" Zhang Xuan knew what she meant.
The Library of Heaven's Path in his mind was originally part of the Heavenly Dao. Once it returned, the Heavenly Dao would be completely whole, and perhaps it could repair the loopholes and expel Ruthless on its own.
It was like the immune system of the human body.
When the immune system was complete, viruses could be easily repelled. When it was damaged, it couldn't resist the invasion of viruses, and even the strongest person would die.
But…
"He is too powerful. Even if the Heavenly Dao is restored, it may not be able to suppress him!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Viruses could be killed by the immune system, but… what about tigers?
What could even the strongest immune system do?
The person before him was far stronger than a God Monarch, and even stronger than an Emperor… he had already surpassed what the Heavenly Dao could contend with.
"This…" Luo Ruoxi paused, a look of disappointment on her fair face. "Yes… it can't be suppressed, but with a complete Heavenly Dao, 'He' can wake up, and killing this person won't be difficult!"
"He?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"I'll take you to see Him, in Freewind Heaven…" Taking a deep breath, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth and turned to fly forward.
"Trying to escape?" Ruthless snorted and pressed down.
Bang!
Luo Ruoxi fell from the sky.
"You…" Zhang Xuan unleashed his swordplay again, his sword intent shining brightly.
Clang clang clang!
It was once again blocked by Ruthless.
"Hurry and leave, I'll hold him back…"
Knowing that they were trying to find a way to save the God Realm, rather than escape, the clone and the Undying Emperor roared and stood in front, while Luo Qiqi transformed, returning to her true form as the Tranquil Void Pearl.
The surrounding space solidified.
"Go!"
Seeing everyone fearlessly standing behind them, Zhang Xuan's eyes reddened. However, he knew that now was not the time to say much. He pulled Luo Ruoxi, and with a sway of his body, he tore through space, appearing in Freewind Heaven in the next moment.
Freewind Heaven no longer had its previous tranquility. With the God Realm collapsing, there was chaos everywhere.
"Where is the 'He' you spoke of?"
With 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 sacrifice matter?
"He is my father. The blood in your pendant is his, and the Undying Emperor was once his beast pet…" Luo Ruoxi adjusted her breathing and explained.
"Father?"
Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.
No wonder he had always felt that the blood in the pendant was similar to Luo Ruoxi's, yet different. It turned out it was her father's.
This also explained why the wisp of will left by the Undying Emperor had immediately recognized him as its master upon seeing the pendant.
"Your father is also an Emperor? Or does he possess strength surpassing an Emperor?"
He couldn't help but ask.
It was the blood in the pendant that had allowed him to regain consciousness when the Library of Heaven's Path went berserk. Could it be that not only was she an Emperor, but her father was even more powerful?
If that was the case, why was he unconscious?
And why did he need a Flawed Heavenly Dao to awaken him?
"He is not an Emperor, but… the Heavenly Dao!"
Luo Ruoxi clenched her fists tightly.
"The Heavenly Dao? Your father… is the Heavenly Dao?" Zhang Xuan was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Yes! Fifty years ago, Father couldn't withstand that large hand and fell into a coma. The Heavenly Dao collapsed into three parts, Heavenly Dao Order and Heavenly Dao Flaw, entering the spatial turbulence. I took control of the Heavenly Dao Nature to maintain the balance of the God Realm. To restore him, I have to collect the scattered parts… that's why I've been so resolute, I can't afford to fail! That's why I specifically entered the Master Teacher Continent to study the Spring and Autumn Annals, trying to find a way to defeat Kong shi! The matter I entrusted to him when fighting Kong shi was also this."
Luo Ruoxi said.
Zhang Xuan understood.
Not long after they met on the Master Teacher Continent, the girl had told him her story, that she wanted to save a loved one. He hadn't understood at the time, but now he understood.
It turned out to be her father, and even the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm!
Could the Heavenly Dao really take human form and have children?
"Taking control of the Heavenly Dao Nature… you don't have any Heavenly Dao fragments in your body?" Suddenly realizing the peculiarity in her words, Zhang Xuan looked over.
Taking control and merging into the body were two different concepts.
"I'm just in control, I'm not part of the Heavenly Dao…" Luo Ruoxi said.
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In that case, he only needed to separate the Flawed Heavenly Dao from his body. She wouldn't need to die as well.
Although he didn't want to accept this fate, he didn't want the girl before him to be harmed.
"If I separate the Flawed Heavenly Dao from my body, your father will be able to come back to life, and even kill Ruthless, right?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"This… I'm not sure…"
Looking at the 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, would he really be able to defeat that powerful Ruthless?
It was hard to say!
"It seems you're not sure either. If that's the case, it's better to rely on ourselves… we can only find a way on our own!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth. "You, me, and the clone, along with the Nine Emperors of the Nine Heavens, and if we can get the help of Kong shi, we may not be able to win!"
"Kong shi? He…" Luo Ruoxi frowned.
"Kong shi is already dead, right! He didn't really die. If I'm not mistaken, you killing him was just a way for him to escape the Heavenly Dao… If nothing goes wrong, he should be like Wei Changfeng, a congenital fetus soul!"
Zhang Xuan said.
Seeing Wei Changfeng, he had understood that Kong shi's so-called maintaining his intelligence should be the same as him, a congenital fetus soul.
He could avoid being confused in the womb.
Plus, with the preparations he had made in advance, revival was only a matter of time.
Luo Ruoxi was stunned, as if she hadn't expected this.
"We'll know when we go to see him. If I'm right, he should have recovered, otherwise, his students wouldn't have even gone to the Tide Sea…" Zhang Xuan said.
Kong shi's students, Ziyuan Ancient Sage and the others, were all powerful. Even without the help of an Emperor, they would definitely have a way to enter the Tide Sea, but none of them had been seen.
There must be something more important waiting for them, something they wanted to do while all the Emperors were in the Tide Sea and had no time to pay attention!
And that important thing was obviously to restore Kong shi.
"This…" Luo Ruoxi's heart trembled, and she suddenly understood.
"Let's go!"
Without further explanation, with a wave of his hand, Zhang Xuan returned to Kong shi's residence, where he saw an old man sitting 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 all ages had not disappointed him!
As he had guessed, he had taken advantage of the fact that everyone was focused on the Tide Sea to revive.
"I hid from the Heavenly Dao and prepared a backup plan in advance. The unnamed giant in the Netherworld Soul Pool was what I left behind. When you killed me that day, I took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, recondensing my body, and I've only just recovered!"
Kong shi smiled slightly.
He was proficient in time abilities. It might seem like only a day or two had passed in the God Realm, but in reality, he had experienced an unknown amount of time to recover his strength.
Dozens of years had passed.
"The strength of the three of us is very strong, but it won't be easy to defeat Ruthless…" Seeing that Kong shi had indeed recovered, Luo Ruoxi still shook her head.
She wasn't trying to diminish their own morale, but it was a fact.
So many people had joined forces earlier, but they couldn't stop Ruthless. Even if they added Kong shi, what could they do?
It wouldn't change the situation!
"Our individual strength, or even our combined strength, is indeed not a match for him, but… what if we combine everyone's strength into one person?"
Kong shi smiled as he looked over.
"Combine into one person?"
This time, not only did Luo Ruoxi frown, but Zhang Xuan was also full of doubts.
"That palm was able to tear apart the God Realm and scatter the Heavenly Dao. Its strength is undeniable. Ruthless has absorbed all of that power and devoured the spiritual energy of the God Realm for fifty years. In terms of strength alone, we have more than a dozen Emperors. Individually, we are indeed no match for him…"
Kong shi said, "But if we join forces and concentrate our power on one person… it may not be the case!"
"How do we concentrate it?"
Luo Ruoxi looked over.
It was easier said than done.
The Emperors had already reached the peak of the God Realm. If it was so easy to absorb the power of others, she wouldn't have stagnated for so many years.
"It's very simple… we will concentrate our power on Zhang Xuan. Once he can break through the shackles of the Emperor, he can save the God Realm!"
Kong shi said.
"Me?" Zhang Xuan was stunned. "Why me?"
"The Rhyming Spirit Emperor cultivates freedom and transcendence of nature! But with the constraints of her father and the Heavenly Dao, with people she cares about, she will never be able to truly transcend! If I'm not mistaken, you also gave up during the battle with me, planning to be killed by me!"
Kong shi said.
Luo Ruoxi couldn't speak.
She had indeed had this intention during the battle, so the two of them had initially held back, as if they were just sparring, not fighting to the death.
"Unable to transcend, she naturally can't unleash her strongest power. Even if she is given more zhenqi, she still won't be able to break through to the highest realm! As for me…"
Kong shi nodded. "With the heart of the world, wanting to save the world, but unwilling to let others sacrifice for me, too much kindness is also a flaw! If I had been more ruthless and exterminated the Otherworldly Demons, there wouldn't be the situation we have now…"
If he had killed all the Otherworldly Demons, Ruthless wouldn't have been able to revive, and there wouldn't be the situation they had now.
"So, I'm not suitable either! And Zhang Xuan, his cultivation technique is smooth, without flaws. He emphasizes living for himself, even if he dies, as long as he lives without regret, his heart will be at peace. This kind of person has greater tolerance and greater room for development. Only in this way can he go higher and further!"
Kong shi continued.
Live, and I will return; die, and my thoughts will linger forever!
If he didn't even care about death, how could he be bound by other things?
"This…" Zhang Xuan frowned, about to say something, when he saw Kong shi looking at him with bright eyes. "Don't decline. It's too late to cultivate others, and even if it's not, I don't think anyone can do better than you! The Rhyming Spirit Emperor doesn't have any Heavenly Dao fragments in her body, but she has been in control of the Heavenly Dao for many years, and has her own understanding of the Heavenly Dao. I control Heavenly Dao Order. If we infuse our power into you, you will have the power of a complete Heavenly Dao in your body! Coupled with the clone's Nine Heavens Chaos Gold Lotus, you can completely control the Nine Heavens, dominate the world, fight the Nine Heavens, and destroy everything!"
"Alright!"
Seeing that the other party had already made a decision, and there was no point in explaining further, Zhang Xuan nodded.
Boom!
He sat down cross-legged, and in the blink of an eye, two majestic forces poured in from both sides.
Zhang Xuan's whole body stiffened, and his whole person seemed to transform into the Heavenly Dao in an instant, soaring above the Nine Heavens.
His soul, body, and zhenqi were all cleansed in an instant, becoming stronger and stronger.
…
"You want to stop me too? Well, I'll kill you, and then kill Zhang Xuan…"
Having sent Luo Qiqi and the others flying, Ruthless smiled coldly.
The power unleashed by the clone and the many Emperors was indeed very powerful, but compared to him, it was still a bit weaker.
The Tide Sea had devoured almost all the spiritual energy outside the cities of the God Realm, and now this power had all been transformed into his nourishment. Every move he made carried the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. These Emperors and God Monarchs, despite representing the peak of the God Realm, were still vulnerable.
At this moment, Ruthless seemed to represent the entire God Realm, and no one could stop him.
"If the God Realm is destroyed, there is no meaning for us to live. I, Yun Chi, will die with you…"
The Yun Chi Emperor transformed into his true form, a giant five-clawed golden dragon, and pounced towards him.
"Just you? You're not worthy!"
Ruthless squeezed his hand, and the golden dragon was caught in his palm, unable to escape no matter how hard he struggled.
"Old friend, wait for me!"
The Fu Meng Emperor also roared and transformed into his White Tiger form, arriving in front of him.
The Undying Emperor displayed his true form, the Undying Fire Phoenix, and the flames illuminated the sky.
The Xuan Ming Emperor's true form was a giant tortoise, as if supporting the heavens.
The four divine beasts, guarding the four extremes of the God Realm, transformed at the same time, and the collapsing God Realm slowed down.
The world seemed to freeze in an instant.
Bang bang bang bang!
With four consecutive palms, Ruthless suppressed the four beasts, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes. "Since you're looking for death, I'll grant it to you…"
Roaring, just as he was about to kill them all, he felt his raised arm tighten, stopping in the air.
"Want to kill them? Have you asked me?"
Then, in the shocked gazes of the crowd, a figure walked out of the air.
It was Zhang Xuan!
At this moment, the young man's whole body was full of power, ten times stronger than before. He came from the heavens, as if his whole being was a world.
"Improved a lot…"
Ruthless stopped, his eyes solemn.
He obviously didn't understand why the other party's strength had changed so much in just a few minutes.
"However, what if it's increased? The God Realm in its prime couldn't resist, and I don't believe you can stop me…"
With a cold snort, Ruthless slapped down again.
Zhang Xuan raised his longsword and met him.
The two sides fought together, the space tearing apart, and the air currents running amok.
"Can Zhang Xuan win?"
At Kong shi's residence in Freewind Heaven, Luo Ruoxi looked over with worry.
She and Kong shi had transferred their power to Zhang Xuan, and their own cultivation had been reduced to only the God Monarch level, not as glorious as before.
However, their level was still there, and as long as they had enough power, they could eventually recover.
"With his current strength, it will be difficult to win… unless… he can comprehend power that surpasses the Emperor!"
After a moment of silence, Kong shi said.
More than a dozen Emperors had joined forces, but they couldn't defeat Ruthless. Even if they transferred all their power to the other party, it wouldn't be easy to win.
The reason why they did this was because… only by concentrating their power on one person could they possibly touch, and truly surpass the limit, and break through themselves!
"Power that surpasses the Emperor?"
Luo Ruoxi's eyes were distant.
When her father was still awake, he had said the same thing to her, but… she couldn't do it. Could her beloved man do it?
"He definitely can… he has an unyielding heart! And pride in this world."
Seeing the question in her heart, Kong shi smiled.
…
Bang bang bang!
After a few consecutive moves, Zhang Xuan's tiger's mouth split open, and a huge scar appeared on his chest, terrifying.
As Kong shi said, even if he merged the power of the two of them, and formed a complete Heavenly Dao in his body, he was still no match for him.
"Haha, I thought you were so powerful, but that's all!" Ruthless smiled coldly.
"Anyway, I'm no match for you, and I'll be killed sooner or later. In that case, I want to die under your strongest attack…" Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan stopped and stopped attacking, but instead looked at Ruthless.
"Okay, I'll grant you your wish, I'll give you the strongest attack…"
Hearing him say this, Ruthless was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and raised his hand.
Whoosh!
A blue light appeared in his palm and slammed down.
It was indeed the strongest attack, and the entire God Realm roared, as if it couldn't bear it, and was once again hit with a huge hole.
With his eyes closed, Zhang Xuan didn't dodge.
Bang!
His head exploded, and his soul scattered everywhere.
"Zhang Xuan…" Seeing this scene, everyone turned pale.
Luo Qiqi seemed to go crazy.
Yun Chi Emperor and the others also widened their eyes, trembling non-stop.
Kong shi and Luo Ruoxi, who saw this scene, were also stunned.
The intention was to let him break through the shackles and break through the Emperor Realm, so why didn't he resist and willingly die?
In this way, wouldn't he be letting down their good intentions?
"No, it's the Undying Emperor's Undying Method…"
Just as he was wondering, Kong shi suddenly spoke.
Everyone then saw that Zhang Xuan, whose head had exploded and even whose soul had shattered, the pendant on his chest suddenly exploded, and a drop of blood floated up, burning, forming a ball of blazing flames. In the flames, an intact figure slowly walked out.
"He… used the other party's power and the blood in the pendant to separate the Flawed Heavenly Dao from his soul?"
Luo Ruoxi's pupils contracted.
After being reborn in the fire, Zhang Xuan didn't have the Library of Heaven's Path in his body, nor the interference of the Heavenly Dao, and he escaped from the Heavenly Dao!
"How did he do it?"
Kong shi was also full of disbelief.
The Heavenly Dao and the soul were fused together, inseparable. In order to get rid of it, he had to be completely destroyed, and re-condense his soul with the help of the Netherworld Soul Pool.
The person in front of him had only been killed once, and he was completely free. What method did he use?
"I see… he used Ruthless's method of getting rid of the soul contract…" Luo Ruoxi reacted.
The soul contract bound the master and servant, and the servant would forever be controlled unless the master lifted it… The Library of Heaven's Path was also like this, it could be said to be an enhanced version of the contract.
Bound to the soul, it would not escape even in death.
But… Ruthless used that special power to get rid of the soul contract. Zhang Xuan had asked in detail about the specific method before, and he must have had ideas at that time.
That's why he deliberately fought to the death, allowing it to unleash his strongest power to attack him.
Using this power, he was reborn in the fire, and unexpectedly, it was a great success!
"So that's how it is, this is the method to break through the Emperor…"
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 and flew over.
In an instant, it merged perfectly with himself.
In the blink of an eye, everyone felt that Zhang Xuan in front of them seemed to have turned into the Nine Heavens, and the Nine Heavens were him.
He gently stepped on the ground with his foot.
The chaotic Nine Heavens immediately stabilized.
The Nine Heavens Chaos Gold 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, inseparable, which was equivalent to him controlling this power.
Not only that, but with the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Chaos Gold Lotus, his already peak realm had loosened, and it seemed that he would break through at any time.
"Master-servant love, brotherhood, teacher-student love, parents' love, love… merged together, it turns out it is everything in the world, this is a human being!"
With a smile on his face, Zhang Xuan muttered to himself.
At the moment when the Library of Heaven's Path left the soul, he understood.
t was the person who saw the world that made the world, or was it the world first and then the person?
Was it the wind moving, or the heart moving!
This question has troubled countless people throughout the ages.
Of course, now… these are not important!
Without life, without emotion, what is the meaning of the world even if it exists?
Therefore, after breaking through love, it is the love of all living beings! It is the emotion that intertwines the world.
All things in the world have emotions. With emotions, there is a world, and with emotions, life can continue.
Love is emotion.
Hate is emotion.
Happiness is emotion.
Pain is emotion.
Parting is emotion.
Reunion is also emotion!
"Thousands of emotions, for my
