Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 584 The Eternal Legend (The Finale)

"Come out! Go back and tell your disciples that from this day forward, the entire Origin World will revere the Master Teacher Academy!"

Just as everyone was puzzled, Zhang Xuan waved his hand lightly, and the many experts who had come with great momentum appeared in front of everyone at the same time.

"Yes, Master!"

Many masters clasped their fists in greeting at the same time.

"Owner?"

"This means... not only did they not kill Zhang Xuan, they also submitted to him?"

"How did you manage to tame so many experts into your servants?"

"It's over. If we hadn't left, we would definitely have become the most core disciples of the Master Teacher Academy. But now, that opportunity will never come again!"

……

Everyone went from being shocked to being completely stunned.

If I had known this, why bother in the first place!
The faster you ran back then, the more you regret it now.

Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed, and now all that can be done is to look at those who were abandoned before, filled with envy, but there is nothing that can be done.

Ignoring these fickle fellows, Zhang Xuan finished arranging things for everyone and turned to Kong Shi: "Let's go, let's go to the Tianli Empire. They've attacked me many times. Although the ringleaders have been executed, we still need to demand an explanation from them!"

Crown Prince Yuanqing led the six ministers, the general, the Prince of Zhennan, and others to besiege him multiple times. If he hadn't been so powerful, he might have been killed long ago. Now that the crown prince is dead, the Tianli Empire still exists. If this problem isn't completely resolved, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later.

"Zhang Xuan, come here!"

Just as Master Kong nodded and was about to agree, a faint voice rang in Zhang Xuan's ear.

"It's Senior Wu Potian!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

The other party had given him a few drops of essence blood and taught him the method of body cultivation, which greatly improved his cultivation and gave him the ability to fight against Prince Yuanqing, preventing him from perishing. He has not yet had the chance to repay the favor.

Such a sudden invitation cannot be ignored.

"Master Kong, please wait a moment, I have something to attend to and need to leave first!"

After giving his instructions, Zhang Xuan's body flickered, tearing through space and arriving on a high mountain.

This place is millions of kilometers away from the prestigious academy, but for him at this moment, it's just a matter of a thought, and he can easily cross that distance.

At the top of the mountain, there was a small octagonal pavilion where two figures were quietly playing chess.

He was none other than Wu Potian, the number one person in the Tianli Empire, the Floating Life Emperor, and the number one person in the Origin World with a physical body.

A look of wariness appeared in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

However, after a brief moment of vigilance, I relaxed.

Now, with the help of the Xuanyuan Chariot, let alone Emperor Fusheng alone, even if Wu Potian were to join forces, it wouldn't be so easy for him to kill.

If we add the newly tamed servants and puppets, we might still have a chance to defeat the two.

"Hahaha, you lost!"

With a hearty laugh, Wu Potian put down the chess piece, placed his palm on the chessboard, and gently swiped it, instantly scattering the pieces completely.

"What do you mean I lost? You clearly lost..." Emperor Fusheng said with a displeased expression.

"I said you lost, and that's final. You can win in this small arena, but you keep losing when it comes to bets. Alright, the person's here! It's time to solve the mystery..."

Wu Potian shook his head.

"Ok!"

Emperor Fusheng gently grabbed the chessboard and put it into his ring, then looked up at Zhang Xuan who was walking towards him.

"sit!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xuan sat down at the stone table, filled with curiosity.

Judging from their expressions, they probably didn't want to kill him, but rather had something to say. However, he was certain that he had no prior interaction with Emperor Fusheng.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Emperor Fusheng instantly enveloped the entire octagonal pavilion, blocking any possibility of prying into view. Then, the most powerful person in the world looked over with a smile, his eyes full of praise.

"In just a few months, he has grown to this level. No wonder he was recommended by Nie Yun. His growth rate has exceeded expectations..."

"Nie Yun? You...you know my father-in-law?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned.

He entered the Origin World with Nie Yun and Kong Shi. Kong Shi was found, but there was no news of Nie Yun, and they couldn't even contact him now. Unexpectedly, this Emperor Fusheng actually knew him.

"Of course! An ordinary person actually created a world containing multiple destinies and possessed the ability to transcend all things. If I couldn't discover this, I wouldn't be worthy of being the number one person of power in this source world."

The Way of the Great Emperor of Floating Life.

"Creating the world...discovering..."

Zhang Xuan felt like his head was about to explode. A thought flashed through his mind, and he looked over in disbelief: "Could it be... that hand that descended from the sky in the God Realm was left by you?"

He obtained the Heavenly Dao Library because a hand descended from the sky and divided Nie Yun's Heavenly Dao into three parts.

It was precisely because of this that they discovered the existence of the Source World.

Since the other party discovered the world created by Nie Yun in advance, could it be that this palm was the one that struck down?
"It's not me, it's also me!" Emperor Fusheng shook his head.

Zhang Xuan was completely confused.

Yes or no, what does it mean to say no or yes?
Emperor Fusheng looked up, his eyes lost in memories: "I did strike that palm, but I was forced to do it. So, even if I did it, it wasn't me."

"Forced?" Zhang Xuan's expression turned serious.

With the strength of Emperor Fusheng, he's almost the number one person in the Origin World, if not the number one. Is there anyone who can force him?

"Let me tell you!"

Seeing that he was getting more and more confused, Wu Potian explained, "Back then, we discovered that the world Nie Yun condensed could break through the shackles of destiny, and we realized that this was the only way for us to escape destiny. However, before we could even celebrate, the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World noticed and forced Fusheng to destroy this world!"

"Fusheng couldn't bear to let this opportunity slip away, so he gathered me, Shen Wuyue, Liu Xuanji, and others to deceive the heavens and set up a grand scheme to fool the heavens!"

"So he struck that world with a palm strike, seemingly shattering the entire world, but in reality leaving behind a sliver of hope..."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

He had wondered at the time, if the powerful beings of the Origin World really wanted to take action, how could they have only sunk a city and destroyed the Heavenly Dao? After all this time, it turns out the reason was this.

This explains why the Heavenly Dao, though shattered into three parts, remained intact instead of completely dissipating.

Because this Emperor of Life didn't use his full strength, but rather reserved some room for maneuver.

"This time, you completely deceived the Heavenly Dao, giving you some time. I thought that even if you could recover and find the Origin World, it would still take countless generations to break through the shackles of destiny. I never expected... you achieved it so quickly!"

Excitement flashed in Wu Potian's eyes.

"Blinding the Heavenly Dao, breaking through the shackles of destiny... what exactly is going on?"

The more Zhang Xuan listened, the more confused she became. She couldn't help but ask a question.

Wu Potian didn't answer directly, but looked over and asked, "You've been in your original world for over half a year now. Do you know how to break free from the shackles of destiny?"

Zhang Xuan shook her head.

If they could escape, Buddha and Confucius wouldn't have ended up in the Chaos Origin Domain.

Cultivators are like small fish swimming in a specific river. Once they start, they need to follow the course. Even if they occasionally struggle and create a big or small wave, it will only become part of the scenery of the river and will not change anything at all.

Where the destination is, and what twists and turns and treacherous shoals it will take along the way... are all predetermined from the beginning. No matter how hard you try, how talented you are, or even if you can jump out of the water and jump seven or eight meters high, it cannot be changed.

"We are the same. If we want to inherit the Mandate of Heaven, we must kill the previous rulers and accept the shackles and arrangements of fate... If we are not strong enough, we can just follow fate. But who wouldn't want to transcend when they reach our level? Yet, over thousands of years, who has succeeded!"

Wu Potian sighed, "The ancient powerhouses couldn't do it, and neither can we! However, when we saw the world created by Nie Yun, we realized that our opportunity had arrived. In this world, there are no shackles of destiny, people are not bound by fate, and mortals can also achieve immortality."

“Yes!” Zhang Xuan nodded.

He started as an ordinary person, gradually cultivated his skills, and eventually became a king in the Nine Heavens, achieving the status of an unparalleled ruler.

In the Origin World, cultivating the Heavenly Mandate... is almost impossible!

Because to cultivate one's destiny, one needs to choose a fixed path, and this path was locked away millions of years ago. No matter how talented you are, without enough destiny energy, you cannot break through.

Just like himself, even if he comprehends a destiny he has never encountered before, a [Chaotic Decree of Heavenly Calamity] will render him unable to make any further progress.

"The destiny of the Origin World is like a sword hanging over your head. No matter how strong you are, being killed is just a matter of the other party's rule! Therefore, we want to break the destiny and no longer be restricted or bound by anyone."

Emperor Fusheng continued, his eyes flashing: "To achieve this, one needs a soul from outside the Origin World. Only a soul with such a soul can cultivate the destiny without being restricted by it."

"So... I became this soul?" Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

"Indeed! Your soul comes from another universe and does not belong to the source world. Therefore, it is not controlled by destiny. As long as your cultivation is sufficient to break the shackles, you can break through the so-called shackles of destiny and free us all..."

The Way of the Great Emperor of Floating Life.

"The catfish effect?" Zhang Xuan realized.

To break the current situation, a pioneer is needed to forge a path, but they cannot do that!

Because people born in the Origin World have their souls locked by the will of Heaven, they can never break free from the shackles of destiny and can only rely on outsiders. And you yourself are that outsider, the catfish that breaks the rules.

"What do you need me to do?"

No wonder Emperor Fusheng's attitude towards him has always been strange; it doesn't feel like he wants to kill him, but rather like he's being tested.

It turns out they already knew of his existence and wanted him to break through as soon as possible, so he could act as a spear to tear apart fate.

"To be the first person to achieve eternal destiny!"

Emperor Fusheng was excited.

Deserts Chang: "Is destiny eternal?"

Emperor Fusheng nodded: "We all know that the Mandate of Heaven is divided into nine levels. Breaking through the ninth level will grant eternity. Unfortunately, neither I nor Wu Potian can achieve this. I hope you can! Once you break through, it will be equivalent to breaking the shackles of the Mandate of Heaven, and all the chains binding us will be broken."

"I see... But how can I break through?"

Zhang Xuan looked on curiously.

Not only are first-level Heavenly Mandates limited by lifespan, but they also have to guard against being killed by their students. Even if the students don't say anything, they still have to find a way to break through.

"It's very simple. Find a way to refine the Primordial Core and integrate it into your body."

Martial arts break through the Heavenly Dao.

Zhang Xuan: "The Core of the Primordial Beginning?"

"A first-level Heavenly Mandate Treasure, and also the guardian of the Origin Mandate, containing the primordial power of the Origin World, capable of reshaping the rules of Heaven and suppressing the fortune of all realms... controlled by the Lord of the Origin Palace."

Martial arts break through the Heavenly Dao.

"Since everyone wants eternity, why not just borrow the magic weapon from the Lord of the Source Palace?"

Zhang Xuan was curious.

Since eternity is the dream of all cultivators, the Lord of the Source Palace is no exception. As long as we discuss it with him, we can borrow this magic weapon and find a way to refine it.

"Borrow? Since refining it can break through to eternity, why doesn't the Lord of the Origin Palace refine it himself?" Emperor Fusheng looked over.

“This…” Zhang Xuan was stunned.

Yes, refining this magic weapon and integrating it into oneself would give one a chance to break through to the Eternal Realm. In that case, the successive Lords of the Origin Palace are the most likely to succeed.

Because this magical artifact is under their control, they can study and comprehend it day and night.

Emperor Fusheng continued, "In fact, the successive masters of the Heavenly Mandate Palace both relied on this Primordial Core and were somewhat afraid of it!"

"The Primordial Core is formed from the primordial power of the Origin World. It is equivalent to the core of this world and contains the powerful Heavenly Mandate power of the Origin World. The successive hall masters of the Heavenly Mandate Palace relied on this thing to quickly comprehend the Heavenly Mandate and master the first-level Heavenly Mandate in a short period of time, becoming a powerhouse that surpasses everything!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuan was getting more and more confused, Emperor Fusheng looked over and explained in detail: "This should be easy to understand!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

His rapid progress on the continent of famous teachers was also due to the Heavenly Dao Library, which was a cheat device, just like controlling the core of the world.

"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The Primordial Core can help people advance quickly, but it can also corrupt a cultivator's will. Once too many are refined, the will will be assimilated by the Origin World and become a heartless Heavenly Dao!"

Emperor Fusheng continued, "Once one becomes the Heavenly Dao, one's own consciousness is destined to perish, thus becoming nourishment for heaven and earth. Therefore, what the successive Palace Masters need to do is maintain a balance, not attempt to refine it, because once you try to do so, you are destined to die."

"This……"

Zhang Xuan's scalp was about to explode: "Then wouldn't it be the same if I refined it?"

"You are different!"

The Great Emperor of Life said, "Your soul does not belong to the Origin World. No matter how powerful the Origin Core is, it will be very difficult to assimilate it! Moreover, even if problems arise, the [Destiny of Emotion] that you cultivate can allow you to regain emotions. Once you have emotions, you are no longer the Heavenly Dao."

"If Heaven had feelings, would it also grow old?" Zhang Xuan finally understood the two's plan.

Heaven is ruthless; once it develops feelings, it becomes no different from humans.

Therefore, they were looking for someone whose soul was not native to the source world, and who could regain his emotions at any time... From any perspective, he was indeed the most suitable candidate.

"I can try!"

Having understood the other party's plan, Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.

Having come this far, he also wanted to strive for eternity and see the scenery of the most supreme world. Even without the other party saying so, he would have done it himself.

"By the way, where is my father-in-law, Nie Yun?"

Having understood their plan, Zhang Xuan knew they meant no harm and couldn't help but look over.

"he……"

Emperor Fusheng shook his head: "He entered the Origin World earlier than you and received a better inheritance. Half a year ago, he infiltrated the headquarters of the Heavenly Fate Palace to try to refine the Origin Core. He hasn't come out yet, and there's been no news of him. I'm afraid... he's in grave danger!"

"It's more likely to be bad?"

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted as he remembered something, and an anxious look appeared on his face: "Ruoxi also went to the Heavenly Mandate Palace headquarters... Could she have encountered danger as well?"

His wife, Nie Lingxi, also known as Luo Ruoxi, was taken in as a disciple by the Lord of the Yuansheng Palace and taken to the headquarters of the Tianming Palace. She has not appeared since. Previously, it was thought that she was in seclusion for cultivation, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"The Lord of the Source Palace is unaware of our plans, nor of your relationship with Nie Yun. He took your wife as his disciple because his lifespan is nearing its end; he likely intends for her to inherit the Mandate of Heaven..."

The Way of the Great Emperor of Floating Life.

“What if…the Heavenly Dao discovers that her soul is not native to the Source World?” Zhang Xuan interrupted his deduction.

Emperor Fusheng's expression changed: "If that's the case, then it's terrible, there might be danger!"

"I want to go check out the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate Palace!"

Knowing that his wife was likely in danger, Zhang Xuan had no intention of staying any longer. With a sudden movement, he turned to leave.

"Don't rush!"

Wu Potian raised his hand to stop him: "The Heavenly Mandate Palace is the core of the Origin World and the source of Origin Power. It contains the supreme power of the Heavenly Dao. Even if Emperor Fusheng and I entered it, we would be suppressed and unable to unleash our full strength! You... I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you rush in like this!"

“Yes, you are our only hope. We must not act rashly in anything we do…” Emperor Fusheng hurriedly advised as well.

This was an opportunity they had been planning for countless years, and they didn't want to cause any problems due to recklessness.

"My cultivation has reached its limit, and even if I wanted to break through, it wouldn't be so easy..."

Zhang Xuan offered an explanation, then shook his head: "Fine, you two come at me together. Let me see just how powerful the strongest in the Origin World really is!"

Rather than explaining his cultivation level, it would be better to fight him personally and see just how big the gap is between him and the strongest person in the world.

"it is good!"

Knowing that this person had refined the Chaos Origin Domain and his strength must have increased even further, Emperor Fusheng and Wu Potian exchanged a glance and nodded at the same time.

"please!"

The two spoke at the same time, each extending their palms to grab Zhang Xuan, who raised his eyebrows and met the attack.

……

Tianli Empire, Imperial Palace, Golden Palace.

The morning court session had already begun, but Emperor Fusheng was nowhere to be seen. Many ministers were pacing anxiously, like ants on a hot pan.

"His Majesty has matters to attend to and is temporarily unable to hold the morning court session. If there is anything to report, please do so; otherwise, the court session is adjourned!" Eunuch Gao's voice rang out slowly.

"Eunuch Gao, please tell His Majesty that Wenren Xue has urgent business to report to him in person..." A minister knelt on the ground, his face full of anxiety.

Imperial Censor Wenren Xue.

“Imperial Censor Wen, since His Majesty has matters to attend to, it’s not too late to report tomorrow. Why the rush…”

Before Grandpa Gao could answer, a middle-aged man standing at the front waved his hand.

He was Yuan Chang, the Prince of Jinghai of the Tianli Empire, and the younger brother of Emperor Fusheng.

"Reporting to Prince Jinghai, this matter involves the fate of the Tianli Empire, and I dare not delay," Wenren Xue hurriedly replied.

"Involving the fate of the nation? Could it be... that something has happened to His Highness the Crown Prince?" Yuan Chang asked in astonishment.

Not only him, but all the ministers pricked up their ears, each one tense.

This prince killed all the ministers of the Six Ministries in his pursuit of Zhang Xuan. Some time ago, he even entered the Chaos Origin Domain in order to obtain an opportunity. Could something have happened to him again?

"This humble servant was ordered to guard the Crown Prince's life tablet, and this morning I discovered... it's broken!" Wenren Xue replied with a livid face.

"The life tablet is broken? The crown prince has fallen?" Yuan Chang's pupils contracted.

The Crown Prince, who was involved in the very foundation of an empire, was actually killed. This is indeed a major event!

"Who did it?"

"This villain who dared to kill the Crown Prince of my Tianli Empire must be killed!"

The entire hall erupted in uproar.

“You guessed right, it should be Zhang Xuan!” Wenren Xue said.

"It's him? Don't worry, Buddha has already led countless powerful figures to punish him. Even if he is incredibly strong, he will likely have to pay a heavy price this time!"

"Yes, according to what I know, four first-level Heavenly Mandate controllers and three first-level Heavenly Mandate treasures... So what if he's strong? Once surrounded, he'll surely die."

"It shouldn't be long before we hear news of the annihilation of the prestigious academy..."

Upon hearing that it was this young man, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report..."

Just when everyone thought Zhang Xuan was doomed, a golden-armored guard rushed into the hall and knelt down.

"What is it?" Prince Yuanchang looked over.

With the Emperor of Life absent, he, being of the highest status, naturally took charge of all matters.

"Your Highness, the Buddha, Pavilion Master Yan Yuan, Clan Chief Qing Ming, Sect Master Shang Jiuxiao, and others have just finished their joint attack on the Famous Teacher Academy."

The golden-armored guard handed over a golden scroll.

"Oh? The results are in? Great! It seems the ringleader has been executed, and Zhang Xuan is most likely dead!"

"Yes! This man who dared to kill the Crown Prince of my Tianli Empire deserved to die long ago..."

"It's a pity we didn't send anyone over, otherwise, the Tianli Empire could have shared in the benefits of eliminating those who disrupt the order."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the letter presented.

With so many experts besieging the Tianli Empire at the same time, even Emperor Fusheng would find it difficult to resist, let alone a young upstart who has just gained fame.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will either be killed or have his cultivation abolished.

"Open the letter!"

A flicker of excitement flashed in Prince Yuanchang's eyes as he waved his hand.

"This..." The golden-armored guard hesitated.

"What, you dare disobey me? My brother is busy today and cannot attend court. Tell us the good news so that we can better share his burden."

Prince Yuanchang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression cold and stern.

As the younger brother of Emperor Fusheng and a powerful prince of the empire, he certainly had the right to speak.

"With His Majesty absent, the Prince's words are law. Hurry up, or do you want to die?" a minister shouted.

"Yes!"

The golden-armored guard did not hesitate. He gently tossed the golden scroll in his hand, and it immediately flew out, transforming into a screen of light, on which a line of text slowly appeared.

Everyone immediately turned to look.

"Buddha, Pavilion Master Yan Yuan, Clan Chief Qing Ming, Sect Master Shang Jiuxiao, and more than two hundred other experts launched a joint attack on the Famous Teacher Academy. Buddha and Pavilion Master Yan Yuan were killed on the spot by Zhang Xuan, and all the others were taken as his servants..."

"what?"

Before everyone could finish reading the contents, everything went black at the same time.

Those were Buddha and Pavilion Master Yan Yuan, two first-level controllers of destiny... and they died just like that?

Most importantly, not only did the others not escape, but they were all tamed and turned into servants... What exactly happened?
"Is this news... true?"

Prince Yuanchang's lips trembled as well.

“Your Highness, countless experts witnessed this outside the Academy of Master Teachers. It cannot be faked. However, no one knows exactly what happened…” the golden-armored guard hurriedly replied.

"So many experts are no match for him, how come this Zhang Xuan is so strong? Could it be... that the Emperor himself has to take action?"

Prince Yuanchang clenched his fists.

"His Majesty is invincible. If he really makes a move, he can definitely utterly annihilate that brat..."

"That's for sure, I have faith in His Majesty's abilities!"

Recalling the cultivation level of Emperor Fusheng, a light shone in everyone's eyes again. However, this light did not last long before a violent roar suddenly echoed from the tall and majestic Golden Palace.

Bang!
A large hole appeared in the tall roof, and a figure fell to the ground in a disheveled state, creating a large crater.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Everyone hurriedly looked over and immediately saw a familiar figure. Who else could it be but the invincible master, Emperor Fusheng, whom they had been talking about!

At this moment, the number one person in the Tianli Empire had disheveled hair, looked disheveled, and had a slightly swollen face, as if he had just been beaten up.

As everyone was in shock, they then saw another figure land beside him—it was Wu Potian, the master of the Body's Fate!

"what happened?"

These two were unparalleled masters throughout history, yet they both crashed to the ground in disarray. Not only was Prince Yuanchang stunned, but all the ministers trembled in disbelief.

After the initial shock, he quickly looked up and saw the chariot hovering in mid-air, with a young man standing smiling on top of it, looking over.

"Can we still continue?"

"Of course!"

With a low shout, Emperor Fusheng charged forward like a cannonball.

"Hmph! This brat has grown quite capable..." Wu Potian also slipped out, and the three of them disappeared into the air as if they had never existed.

"Was that person Zhang Xuan?"

"seems like it……"

"His Majesty and Sect Master Wu joined forces to attack Zhang Xuan, and they were beaten like this?"

All the ministers in the entire Golden Palace looked at each other, speechless.

I was originally thinking of getting revenge, but now it seems... I should just give up!
I'm really afraid that if I keep reporting on it, the entire Tianli Empire will disappear...

……

On a deserted island overseas, three figures lay on the ground, all panting heavily.

"Gentlemen, with my current strength, am I capable of going to the headquarters of the Heavenly Fate Palace?"

Zhang Xuan struggled to lift her head.

"of course can!"

Emperor Fusheng smiled bitterly.

"I never expected that in just a few months, you would have cultivated your physical body to the peak of the eighth level... Is this speed even human?"

Wu Potian also shook his head.

After exchanging blows, the two realized that this person's true strength was in no way inferior to theirs!

With such cultivation levels, coupled with the Xuanyuan War Chariot, even if they unleashed their strongest power, they gained no advantage whatsoever and were nearly beaten to death.

"Then I'm going!"

He circulated his power, and a flash of light appeared on his body. All his injuries were healed, and Zhang Xuan stood up, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

Having established their strength and already standing at the pinnacle of the world, there's nothing left to hesitate or agonize over.

"Be careful, and we will contact more people to fight alongside you, striving to create a new future for future generations in our generation!"

Emperor Fusheng stood up, his body also shimmering with light, regaining his previous dashing appearance.

Now that he has grown to this point, it's time to wrap up all the plans.

"it is good!"

Zhang Xuan nodded, and just as he was about to leap away, he remembered something and looked back: "Master Kong... shouldn't he also be part of your scheme?"

After Confucius was arrested, he was entrusted with an important task by this person, which seemed strange no matter how you looked at it. Now it seems that he wanted to train Confucius to make a breakthrough as soon as possible. However, in the end, he still chose himself.

"Yes!" Emperor Fusheng nodded.

"Farewell!" Having ascertained what had happened, Zhang Xuan said no more, and with a flicker of his figure, he vanished from the spot.

Let's hurry!

An excited look flashed in Emperor Fusheng's eyes as he looked at Wu Potian: "If you succeed, you can agree to be with Shen Wuyue and be together in a real sense, and you won't have to hide like this anymore."

"Yes!" Wu Potian nodded.

Everyone knows he doesn't like Kaminari and has been avoiding her. What they don't know is that his love is deep and enduring. The reason he avoids her is simply because he is bound by rules and cannot be together!
Now, we finally see hope.

……

The headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate Palace is located deep within the chaos of the void, overlooking countless stars and billions of rivers. The palace doors are rarely opened, but today they are open ahead of schedule.

Xuanyuan Mu stood in front of the door, looked at his companions around him, and chuckled to himself.

"You received the notification too?"

"Ok!"

Murong Feng nodded: "The teacher said that we have distinguished guests visiting today and asked us to come and greet them."

"What kind of distinguished guest would require all of our young masters to greet them together?"

Haotian stood to one side, his face full of confusion.

These individuals are the strongest inheritors of the Origin of Destiny branch, and each of them has reached the peak of the Sea of ​​Destiny, making them experts across the entire continent.

Now, to greet guests, he's obediently acting as a doorman...

Even when Emperor Fusheng visited the Heavenly Mandate Palace, it wasn't with such a grand display.

"I don't know either. The teacher just said to wait quietly here, and when you see the other person, you will know!"

Xuanyuan Mudao.

"Alright, I'd like to see what kind of person is worthy of such waiting from us geniuses... If they're not even as good as me, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Me too! I'll definitely give him a taste of his own medicine and make him understand what price he'll have to pay for making us wait around!"

Murong Feng, Hao Tianyi, and the others all muttered to themselves. Before they could finish speaking, they saw a ray of light appear in the sky not far away, and then a chariot slowly flew over.

Above the chariot stood a smiling young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with his hands behind his back. He didn't exude much aura or pressure; apart from being handsome, he seemed like an ordinary person you could see anywhere.

"Could it be that the person the teacher asked us to wait for is him? He looks quite ordinary!"

Xuanyuan Mu and the others exchanged glances, each seeing confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

"Gentlemen, is this the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate Hall?"

An ordinary-looking young man jumped off the chariot and looked at the crowd with a smile.

"Indeed! Please provide your name so I can inform my teacher!" Xuanyuan Mu bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

Although I don't know why the teacher values ​​this person so much, it's definitely not as simple as it seems. Even if he is a genius, they wouldn't dare to be negligent.

"My name is Zhang Xuan!" Zhang Xuan clasped his hands in greeting.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, please rest inside for a while. I'll go and inform him right away..."

Xuanyuan Mu nodded, and was about to lead the young man in front of him to the guest room to rest and wait when he saw the Lord of Yuansheng Palace stride over.

"Haha, I predicted you'd come today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon! Please come in!"

“Alright!” Zhang Xuan nodded and followed the Lord of the Origin Palace into the main hall, leaving Xuan Yuanmu and the others looking at each other in confusion.

"The teacher personally greeted us? What's going on?"

"I don't know either! Zhang Xuan... I've never heard of this name? Could he be a young genius who has emerged in recent years?"

"So what if he's a child prodigy? Aren't we all geniuses? We don't receive such treatment, so why should he?"

"Don't worry about who this guy is, we'll just find out!"

Murong Feng spoke with a smile.

As a descendant of the Murong family, he possesses an extremely powerful information network. Although he has never left the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate Palace for many years, he can still find out about certain people in a short period of time if he wants to investigate them.

"Okay, go ahead and investigate, we'll wait!"

Everyone nodded and looked over.

Murong Feng said no more, took out a magic weapon, tapped it a few times, and the magic weapon shone brightly, revealing a line of words.

"You saw Zhang Xuan? Get as far away as you can. If you offend him, kneel down and apologize immediately. Also, whatever you do, don't mention that your surname is Murong!"

The radiant handwriting conveyed anxiety.

"This……"

Xuanyuan Mu, Murong Feng, Haotian and the others looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"What does this mean? You kneel down as soon as you see this guy, and you don't even want to say who you are... Does this mean you've been expelled from the family?"

Haotian couldn't help but say.

"It seems so... No, let me ask again!"

Murong Feng's face flushed red as he typed in another message.

Upon receiving this message, the other party seemed relieved and explained, "It's good that we didn't offend him. This Zhang Xuan is a Level One Heavenly Fate Controller. He just killed two Level One Heavenly Fate Controllers, tamed more than two hundred Heavenly Fate Controllers into his servants, and brutally beat up Emperor Fusheng and Wu Potian..."

"This……"

Several geniuses simultaneously felt their bodies tremble.

They recognized every single word on it, but when put together, they looked completely unfamiliar.

Pfft!
Murong Feng dropped the magic weapon in his hand to the ground, his face turning deathly pale.

Luckily, I didn't give them a hard time, otherwise they might have been turned into mincemeat by now, and even the teacher probably wouldn't dare say anything...

"Wait, if they have such strength, why have we never heard of them before? We've only been in seclusion for a few months, not hundreds or thousands of years, right?"

After trembling for a while, Haotian couldn't help but say.

“Yes, let me ask again…” Murong Feng asked again, and a moment later a line of text appeared—He had only cultivated to his current strength in about half a year!

"About six months?"

Many geniuses then understood why their teachers valued this so much.

He thought he was a genius, but after all that, compared to the other person, he was not even as good as a monkey.

So it turns out... there really are unparalleled geniuses in this world.

……

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Mandate Palace headquarters, the Lord of the Origin Palace looked at the young man before him with disbelief on his face.

He had met the other party before, so they were old acquaintances.

He never dreamed that in just a few months, an inconspicuous junior would grow to a point where even he had to take him seriously.

"Palace Master, I've come here to see Lingxi. Could you please do me this favor?"

Zhang Xuan cupped his hands in a fist salute.

"Nie Lingxi is currently at a crucial stage of her cultivation, so I'm afraid we won't be able to meet..."

The Lord of the Source Palace shook his head and did not agree.

"Oh?"

Chang Hsuan stood up: "What if I insist on seeing him?"

"That……"

Just as the Lord of the Source Palace was about to say something, he suddenly sensed a certain aura, abruptly stood up, and hurriedly looked into the distance.

Boom!

In the distant depths of the void, an immense power surged and boiled, like a scorching boiler or an erupting volcano, giving off an intense heat that kept strangers at bay.

"It's Ruoxi!"

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

This is Luo Ruoxi's aura, incredibly powerful, seemingly no weaker than his current strength. What's going on?

"Success!"

With his eyes lighting up, the Lord of the Source Palace forgot all about speaking and dashed straight toward the direction from which the aura was emanating.

Zhang Xuan followed closely behind.

After a short while, the two stopped in a chaotic place.

The chaos before my eyes was as red as a burning sunset, with countless scorching forces churning and countless primal energies converging, forming an aurora-like color.

A tall woman sat in the very center of the chaos, as countless forces converged and poured into her body.

Between her eyebrows was a round ball the size of a walnut, crystal clear like a pearl.

The sphere was now drilling into the girl's forehead, already more than halfway in, and could be submerged at any moment.

"This is the time!"

Seeing the sphere about to enter the other person's body, an abnormal flush flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Source Palace. He raised his eyebrows sharply and flew towards the girl.

"Buzz!"

Before it even arrived, the pearl emitted an astonishing aura, as if it were shattering the entire chaos.

"Yuan Sheng, how dare you betray me?"

Immediately, a grand voice slowly rang out.

The voice was devoid of any emotion, as if it were a emotionless machine.

"Betrayal? Hahaha, my lifespan is almost over, and you refused to lend me your life, so I had no choice but to resort to this..."

The Lord of the Primordial Palace laughed, his eyes filled with malice: "This Nie Lingxi's soul does not belong to the Origin World, and her talent is extraordinary. Letting her absorb your will will be a perfect way to kill each other. If we succeed, I can take this opportunity to completely refine this Primordial Core... and transcend in one fell swoop, achieving true eternity of destiny!"

"The Primordial Core? This is the Primordial Core?"

Zhang Xuan finally understood, his pupils contracting sharply: "Both sides will suffer heavy losses... You didn't genuinely intend to nurture Lingxi and make him your successor, but rather you saw the abnormality in her soul early on and wanted to use her as a furnace to bear the power of the Heavenly Dao from the Primordial Core for you?"

"That's right! Everyone has to look out for themselves. I've finally cultivated to this level, so naturally I don't want to die. I'll do anything to stay alive!"

The Lord of the Source Palace did not deny it, but his face was full of coldness.

This Yuan Sheng has always had a good reputation, and even Emperor Fusheng and others have praised his character. I never expected that he would have such thoughts.

It turns out that so-called "good guys" might actually be hypocrites.

"That's right, everyone looks out for themselves. Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

Zhang Xuan gave a cold shout, and the Xuanyuan Chariot immediately appeared in front of him, transforming into a streak of light and rushing straight towards him.

He had prepared for a major battle before he came. Since the other side was using Luo Ruoxi as an experiment, he shouldn't blame them for being impolite.

Having already guessed that he would make a move, the Lord of the Source Palace let out a low hum and waved his hands downwards.

Wow!

The surrounding chaos immediately transformed into countless shackles that enveloped Zhang Xuan in the next moment.

"The Art of a Thousand Threads?"

Zhang Xuan's face darkened.

The opponent must have used a powerful technique called the Thousand Threads Technique, which connects the surrounding chaos to form an external avatar. Although this technique is not very powerful, it can trap people and make it difficult for them to escape in a short period of time.

Chaos is a kind of airflow. To penetrate it, you need not only time but also patience. If I'm not mistaken, it will take him at least several hundred years to create this cage.

"Thirteen hundred years! It took me a full thirteen hundred years to break through this chaos... Even if you are very strong, it won't be so easy for you to break through!"

Lord Yuansheng laughed heartily.

Zhang Xuan looked around with a solemn expression.

The other party is right. This chaotic net in front of him is indeed very difficult to tear apart. Even for him now, it is almost impossible to succeed.

"Bump me!"

With its power surging, the Xuanyuan Chariot immediately released a dazzling aura and charged towards the large net in front of it.

Wow!

The chaotic net opened only slightly before falling silent.

"Your magic weapon is indeed very powerful, but it won't be so easy to tear apart the chaotic net I spent over a thousand years laying out..."

Knowing that the other party would not cause any impact in the short term, the Lord of the Source Palace ignored the young man and instead rushed towards Luo Ruoxi, who had her eyes closed, and slammed down with his five fingers spread wide.

At this moment, Luo Ruoxi was refining the Origin Core and was completely unaware that the other party would attack. She was hit without resistance and immediately flew backward.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning as white as a sheet.

"You dare to hurt me? You have some nerve..."

Luo Ruoxi looked up, her eyes devoid of any emotion, cold as a puppet.

The voice wasn't hers; it was a haughty, mechanical sound, as if her mind had been possessed by some unspeakable entity.

“In the past, I would have obediently served you and been your most loyal dog, not daring to utter a single word. But now, you are trapped by her body and cannot escape in a short time. How much strength can you exert?”

The Lord of the Source Palace sneered, his palm transforming into a sky full of dark clouds. Before it even reached him, cracks appeared all around.

As expected of the Lord of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, one of the strongest in the entire Origin World, this move alone shows that he is no weaker than Emperor Fusheng!

Knowing how terrifying this move was, Luo Ruoxi raised her hands, transforming them into an ocean of power.

Bang!
The two collided, and the girl spurted blood again, flying backward.

"Teacher, what are you going to do?"

As she flew out, Luo Ruoxi's cold eyes became much more lively, and then a familiar voice rang out.

"Ruoxi, how are you?"

Zhang Xuan shouted anxiously, but at the same time couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the other person's appearance just now, I thought they had been possessed by the Heavenly Dao, but now it seems they still have self-awareness.

That's true. The will of Heaven is weakest when it hasn't been completely successful yet. Once it's successfully devoured, Luo Ruoxi's will disappears, and Heaven will become even stronger. It will be very difficult to find another opportunity to refine the Origin Core!

Before crossing the river, strike the middle of it!
As expected of the supreme controller of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, he is ruthless.

"Zhang Xuan? What are you doing here..."

Startled for a moment, Luo Ruoxi then noticed the young man trapped in the chaotic net and showed the same anxious expression: "Teacher, if Zhang Xuan has done something wrong, I can take the punishment for him. Please let him go..."

She seemed unaware of what had happened, nor of Zhang Xuan's current strength or level, and even thought she had offended him.

"Since you want to take the punishment for him, then continue refining the Primordial Core..."

The Lord of the Source Palace spoke in a sinister tone.

"Yuan Sheng, do you really think that just because she's not a soul from the Source World, I can't do anything to her? At worst, I'll just have to expend some power!"

Luo Ruoxi's lively eyes turned cold again, her fingers clenched, and she suddenly threw a punch.

The Lord of the Source Palace blocked the attack with a single swipe of his hand, then tapped his toes and slammed his palm down again.

Luo Ruoxi coughed up blood and flew backward, her injuries worsening.

"Unfortunately, my will is trapped by this physical body... I can't even unleash one percent of my strength. Otherwise, would a lowly servant like you dare to attack me?"

Luo Ruoxi looked up again.

"No, if we continue like this, regardless of whether the Heavenly Dao dies or not, Ruoxi will definitely be killed first..."

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan was filled with anxiety.

The Heavenly Dao of the Origin World was locked by Luo Ruoxi's body and the Origin Core, so it could not exert even one percent of its strength. It was definitely no match for the Lord of the Origin Palace.

If this continues, whether the Heavenly Dao eventually breaks free or is killed, Luo Ruoxi will be the only victim.

"Yuan Sheng, stop now! Otherwise, once we escape this place, I will surely kill you..."

Zhang Xuan continued to ram the Xuanyuan chariot wildly.

Unfortunately, the giant net that the opponent had spent thousands of years building was too terrifying. Even the Emperor of Life could not withstand this attack, and could not tear it apart.

"Once you've escaped, I will have already refined the Primordial Core and achieved [Eternal Destiny]. You really think you can kill me? Dream on!"

The Lord of the Source Palace laughed again, his hands moving continuously as he continued to wave his palms at Luo Ruoxi.

After several consecutive attacks, Luo Ruoxi was on the verge of death and could die at any moment.

This was only because he was afraid of killing the other party and being unable to restrain the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World. Otherwise, the girl's current condition might not even be able to withstand a single palm strike from this guy!

Seeing that the girl had no power to resist, the Lord of the Primordial Palace revealed excitement in his eyes, and stretched out his right hand to grab the Primordial Core between her eyebrows.

At this point, the Primordial Core had already been refined more than halfway. Forcibly extracting it would be tantamount to tearing Luo Ruoxi's soul apart. If she were not careful, her soul would be scattered.

"No, we need to find a way out to save them..."

Knowing that if things continued, Luo Ruoxi would surely die no matter who won, Zhang Xuan's eyes were filled with anxiety as he racked his brains for a solution.

Given the current situation, it would be very difficult to succeed by ramming the Xuanyuan Chariot head-on. However, without this magic weapon, it would be almost impossible for him to tear apart the chaos in front of him in less than several hours, given his strength!
Luo Ruoxi definitely couldn't hold on for such a long time.

Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.

Even if the Lord of the Primordial Palace is mindful of the Heavenly Dao and dares not easily erase Luo Ruoxi's will, once the Primordial Core is removed, the Heavenly Dao will still devour her.

However, even without removing the primordial core, the Heavenly Dao will eventually kill it over time.

In other words, no matter what she does now, her fate is already sealed; perhaps this is her destiny.

"There must be a way to save us..."

The eight life lamps burned like torches, and the mind rapidly calculated, with hundreds of billions of thoughts surging in every second, predicting success or failure.

Unfortunately, despite countless attempts, they were unable to save it!
Unless one can communicate with the will of Heaven and make it stop.

However, once the Heavenly Dao stops, the Primordial Core will be seized and refined by the Lord of the Primordial Palace, thus obliterating the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, stopping it is tantamount to sending it to its death.

If this continues, Luo Ruoxi will surely die!

It's a dead end no matter how you look at it.

"Refining!"

Looking up, the Lord of the Primordial Palace's palm had already reached the Primordial Core, and violent power was continuously surging into it.

The sphere, originally crystal-colored, now burst forth with dazzling light, flying outwards from between Luo Ruoxi's eyebrows and being refined by her.

Once she is completely separated from her physical body, it will be her death.

"Communicating with the Heavenly Dao...communicating with the Heavenly Dao..."

Knowing that time was running out, Zhang Xuan was filled with anxiety when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

It's difficult for others to communicate with the Way of Heaven, but it seems to be very easy for him!
Because... the Heavenly Dao Library in my mind, from the moment I arrived in the Source World, secretly connected with the Heavenly Dao and stole its power.

However, the other party was unaware of it!

"The Heavenly Dao of the Origin World is currently restrained by Luo Ruoxi's soul, and its strength is reduced to less than one-hundredth. If I were to refine it now using the Heavenly Dao Library... wouldn't that be the same as refining the Origin Core?"

The Primordial Core is the core of the Origin World and the place where the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World resides. Refining it makes it easy for the Heavenly Dao to devour it and turn it into its host.

All the previous Heavenly Mandate Hall Masters must have been like this, which is why this Yuan Sheng was so wary, obediently playing the grandson for so many years to dispel the other party's vigilance, all for this moment.

His steps were simple: have Luo Ruoxi restrain the Heavenly Dao, and he would take the opportunity to refine the Origin Core. Once successful, the Heavenly Dao, having lost its hiding place, would either be resurrected through Luo Ruoxi's body or be completely annihilated.

By refining the Origin Core, he essentially gained control of the entire Origin World, thus enabling him to break through the Eternal Fate and achieve true immortality!

At that time, even if the Heavenly Dao were to be resurrected with the help of Luo Ruoxi, its cultivation level would be at most similar to his, and it would be unable to kill him.

The plan was well-thought-out, and everything was prepared perfectly, but unfortunately... we forgot about this bug!

The Heavenly Dao Library can communicate with the Heavenly Dao and can quietly devour the opponent's power without being detected even in their prime. Now that it is trapped by Luo Ruoxi and is on guard against Yuan Sheng, wouldn't it be even easier for it to succeed?
"Never mind, this is the only path left. As long as I refine the Heavenly Dao, I can also achieve eternal destiny! Perhaps I can also control the entire Origin World. At that time, I will have the confidence and power to fight against the Lord of the Origin Palace!"

Knowing that this was the only chance of survival, Zhang Xuan no longer hesitated and, with a thought, immersed herself in the library.

The library is vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see, with countless books suspended in mid-air, layer upon layer, like stars.

Above the stars are rivers that were comprehended earlier. Although they are not large, they come from the unknown void and extend into the unknown void.

"These rivers must be the key to connecting the Heavenly Dao of the Source World!"

Zhang Xuan speculated.

Previously, I didn't understand why I could use it as soon as I arrived at the Source World Heavenly Dao Library. Now it seems that it should be the interconnection of everything in the [Destiny of Love].

In the realm of gods, he comprehended the "path of emotions," entering the path through emotions. Emotions connect all things; anything that has intention will have emotions, and with emotions, he can control it.

The same applies to the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World.

Although the Heavenly Dao is ruthless and impartial, having continuously devoured the wills of countless Palace Masters, it must have undergone some changes that even it itself was unaware of.

It's like, when the same problem arises, his tolerance for Yuan Sheng is bound to be greater than that for others.

This change only occurs when people spend a lot of time together, or when something can bring them benefits, and this change can also be defined as a kind of affection.

This subtle change allowed the ruthless Heavenly Dao to be manipulated by Yuan Sheng, and also connected to its own compassionate Dao, allowing it to draw upon power countless times without being noticed.

"A destiny intertwined by love!"

Having figured this out, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows, activated his Destiny of Emotion, and connected with all the rivers before him. The moment the two came into contact, he felt his mind fall into a vast world, communicating with the thousands of rivers in the chaos above.

These rivers are the source of all the Heavenly Rivers of Destiny in the Origin World, and also the source of all the power controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World.

Controlling the threads of emotion, Zhang Xuan used the river within the library as a foundation to subtly connect them. At this moment, the threads of emotion were like a ditch connecting two rivers; with just a gentle touch, the water from the other's channel could be drawn over.

Just like when he stole the Heavenly Mandate Yuan Power from the Heavenly Mandate River from Prince Yuanqing.

In the blink of an eye, the many rivers in the library expanded rapidly at a visible speed, growing from streams into rivers in just over ten breaths.

The Destiny of the Mo Dao, the Power of the Giant Wave, the Destiny of the Fox Spirit, the Destiny of the Flowing Light, the Destiny of Space...

The many destinies he had comprehended in the library quickly made him stronger, and soon he gained control of the source, becoming the actual controller.

"I see……"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized this.

The countless successors of destiny outside are actually just managers of the river, while the Heavenly Dao is the true controller.

Just like pilots, who only have temporary management rights over the aircraft, not ownership, while airlines are the ones with real power and can replace you at any time if they don't like you.

This is precisely why countless heirs to the Mandate of Heaven, despite possessing unparalleled power, still harbor endless worries.

Even someone as powerful as Emperor Fusheng was merely a successor to the Mandate of Heaven, not someone who had completely taken control of it.

Even if you say you'll be replaced, you'll still be easily replaced.

At this moment, Qing Si connected the River of Destiny in the Heavenly Dao Library with the River of Origin World, thus completely controlling these rivers and becoming a true controller, just like the Heavenly Dao!
"Communicate with destiny, comprehend destiny!"

Knowing that this method could indeed replace the Way of Heaven, Zhang Xuan was filled with excitement.

However, there are still too few rivers of destiny within the library; we must accelerate their formation and establish as many connections as possible!

Thinking of this, disregarding everything else, he recalled all sorts of Heavenly Mandate Yuan Power, forming a small river within the library, and then using the Love Threads to draw the "river water" from the Source World over.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Library expanded rapidly like an inflating balloon, and the scattered Heavenly Mandate energy gave birth to countless books that floated continuously, dazzling and bright, while the rivers also became more numerous and vast.

Previously there were only a few dozen, but in just a few dozen breaths, they expanded to hundreds, and are still increasing at an extremely rapid pace.

"No, Yuansheng, what did you do to me...?"

As Zhang Xuan gradually took control of the River of Destiny, the Heavenly Dao, which had been suppressed by Luo Ruoxi and the Lord of the Source Palace, finally realized that something was wrong—its power was rapidly weakening!
At this moment, it still didn't know that it was because of the boy trapped in the chaos, and thought that Yuan Sheng had used some means. Its cold and ruthless tone finally became strange.

"Of course, we'll cut off your escape route and refine the Primordial Core!"

The Lord of the Source Palace also didn't know what had happened, but since the other party asked, he was determined to make the other party lose their composure.

Once the Heavenly Dao experiences emotional fluctuations, its power will be greatly reduced, creating an opportunity for it to exploit.

As expected, with the weakening of the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Lord of the Primordial Palace accelerated the refining speed of the Primordial Core, and his whole body shone brightly. The sphere between Luo Ruoxi's eyebrows quickly detached.

"We're almost there..."

Feeling the power within his body rapidly increasing, growing stronger like rivers flowing into the sea, the Lord of the Source Palace was so excited that his face flushed red.

"Why? Why did you betray me?"

Seeing his advantage growing stronger while his own grew weaker, the voice of the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World was filled with anger.

All successive masters of the Heavenly Mandate Hall who wish to inherit the Mandate of Heaven must pledge allegiance to me, collect the Heavenly Mandate beliefs from across the continent for me to refine, and even on their deathbed, must contribute all their power and soul.

This has been maintained for countless generations, and everyone has been very obedient. I never dreamed that this guy would betray me at the crucial moment!
"Betrayal? From the first day I inherited the Mandate of Heaven, I knew when I would die and how I would die. Do you think I would be happy about that?"

The Lord of the Source Palace snorted coldly.

The Mandate of the Source is a first-level Mandate, something that everyone in the entire Source World wants to inherit. However, for any inheritor of such a Mandate, there is bound to be immense suffering.

Because... on the day of the inheritance, one knew one's fate, knew when one would die, and every day was a countdown.

At first it was fine, but as the time of death drew closer, my mood became heavier and heavier. How could I be happy?

"This is your fate, and destiny cannot be changed!"

Heaven rebukes us.

"Unchangeable? Hahaha, then I'll change it for you! According to my destiny, I will die within an hour. This is an ending predetermined two thousand years ago. Now I will refine the Primordial Core and transcend directly. Let's see who can kill me now!"

The Lord of the Source Palace laughed loudly.

He doesn't believe in fate and wants to fight against it!
Screw your life!

"Yuan Sheng, stop! You'll not only kill this girl, you'll kill yourself!"

Just then, the chaotic space rippled, and Emperor Fusheng, Wu Potian, Liu Xuanji, Shen Wuyue, Kong Shi and others suddenly appeared, followed by disciples such as Zhao Ya, Yuan Tao, Liu Yang, Zheng Yang, and Wang Ying, as well as Luo Qiqi and others who had not yet returned, and a horse.

At this moment, everyone quickly understood what had happened, and Emperor Fusheng shouted anxiously.

At this moment, the small chaotic space was filled with six first-level Heavenly Fate cultivators and more than a dozen cultivators comparable to Bodhisattvas!
It can be said that almost all the super-strong individuals still existing in the entire Origin World have arrived.

"Kill yourself? Hahaha, I will only grow stronger and stronger, surpassing eternity. On the contrary, once I successfully break through, I will kill you all!"

A cold and ferocious glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Source Palace.

For over two thousand years, he has presented himself as a kind and gentle person. Now, there is no need to hide it anymore; he wants to show his most complete self!
To hell with all that talk about good people and kindness!
What Lao Tzu wanted was to do whatever he pleased.

"No... Souls born in the Origin World that forcibly refine the Origin Core will be assimilated and eventually dissipate, even without the intervention of the Heavenly Dao. They simply cannot break through! This has happened many times in ancient times. As the Lord of the Heavenly Fate Hall, how could you not know this..."

Emperor Fusheng was anxious to explain.

He and Wu Potian had been planning for so many years, and they were about to succeed when this guy suddenly appeared, completely disrupting their plans.

If refining the Origin Core were enough to break through, the Eternal Destiny wouldn't wait for them at all!

From ancient times to the present, over tens of thousands of years, countless people have displayed extraordinary talent; how could this person possibly have the chance to make a move?

"You don't actually think that your and Wu Potian's scheme can hide from me, do you? If I hadn't stepped in to help cover it up, do you really think you could have fooled the Heavenly Dao?"

Lord Yuansheng laughed heartily.

"You...you made a move?" Emperor Fusheng and Wu Potian looked at each other, their eyes revealing disbelief.

They did it very discreetly to keep it from him, but they didn't expect that he already knew.

"Of course! The Lord of the Heavenly Mandate Palace is the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World, essentially the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. To completely deceive it, unless I take action, no one can do it!"

The Lord of the Primordial Palace sneered: "You want to transcend, and so do I. Knowing your intentions, I decided to play along... As a result, you actually brought souls that don't belong to this world! So, since I was preparing to refine the Primordial Core, how could I not have made preparations in advance?"

"Prepare in advance? The souls are all different, how can we prepare?" Shen Wuyue frowned.

"Could it be..."

Emperor Fusheng's pupils contracted as he remembered something: "You refined Nie Yun's soul?"

Nie Yun was not here; he had vanished without a trace. Yet the other party was absolutely certain of success. Apart from that, it was hard to imagine what else could have led to this.

"No, that's not true. However, I used the substitution technique. Even if the Primordial Core wanted to assimilate the soul, it would assimilate his, while I would only inherit his power!"

The Lord of the Yuansheng Palace said.

Emperor Fusheng finally understood and looked at the old man in front of him again with great fear.

Previously, I always thought that the only heroes in the world were him and Wu Potian, and that this Lord of the Heavenly Mandate Hall was nothing more than a puppet! Now I realize that the other party's forbearance and planning are even more profound than mine!
Even they themselves were passively turned into pawns by the other side.

"He's deliberately giving this explanation to buy time! Don't fall for it..." Confucius sensed something was wrong and quickly spoke up.

"I am indeed stalling for time. The longer I delay, the more control I gain over the Primal Core..."

The Lord of the Primordial Palace looked over: "Everyone, I know your thoughts and purposes. Since you are all pioneers who need to break the shackles of destiny, why can't it be me?"

"This……"

Emperor Fusheng and the others looked at each other.

Yes!

All they need is a pioneer to enter the eternal destiny, it could be Zhang Xuan, or it could be him!
For them, it's enough if someone breaks through; it doesn't have to be that trapped young man.

"I promise that after I break through, I will not only not kill you, but I will also pass on my experience in breaking through..."

Seeing that everyone was interested, the Lord of the Origin Palace continued.

"What you say is immoral, like abandoning propriety in a corrupt world; even death is meaningless..."

Before he could finish speaking, Confucius's clear voice rang out.

As he spoke, a beam of light surged from the Lord of the Origin Palace, and his power rapidly dissipated.

Unexpectedly, this person's words became law, and even he, who was caught off guard, was affected. The Lord of the Source Palace narrowed his eyes.

“He’s lying! If he succeeds, he will kill us all, because we know all his blemishes…” Kong Shidao said.

"You're courting death!" The Lord of the Primordial Palace could no longer hold back. With one hand, he continued to refine the Primordial Core, while with the other hand, he spread his five fingers and slapped it down straight down.

boom!
The immense power crashed down, and before Master Kong could react, he was sent flying, spitting out blood, and lying motionless on the ground.

"Yuan Sheng, you!"

Emperor Fusheng could no longer restrain himself, and with a flick of his wrist, he summoned a jade seal.

The Heavenly Seal, having been nourished by power for tens of thousands of years, already possessed power surpassing that of a first-class treasure, and it fell down.

Wu Potian, Shen Wuyue, Liu Xuanji, and others also made their moves.

If you had previously believed that the other party would spare their lives after their breakthrough, then seeing him suffer the backlash from Confucius's words made you realize that he was lying!

Since that's the case, let's stop it first!

Boom boom boom!
Many first-level Heavenly Mandates simultaneously unleashed their respective magical treasures and strongest powers. If it were the previous Lord of the Origin Palace, he would have already turned pale with fright and would not have had time to dodge. But at this moment, he was not nervous at all. Instead, his eyes shone brightly and he laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, thank you for giving me enough time. I have completely refined the Primordial Core and am now eternal, immortal and indestructible!"

With a shout, the Primordial Core was pulled straight out from between Luo Ruoxi's eyebrows and fell into the body of the Primordial Palace Master. The latter immediately floated up, his whole body radiating dazzling golden light.

"This is... an eternal golden body? No, there's also an eternal divine soul..."

Wu Potian's face turned pale.

The Lord of the Primordial Palace, who refined the Primordial Core, caught up with me in physical cultivation in the blink of an eye, also reaching the Eternal Golden Body. Not only that, his soul also broke through to the ninth level, igniting nine lamps!
"Body, soul, and life—all three are eternal. Could this be the eternal destiny? He... he actually did it!"

Seeing the changes in his body, everyone's eyes showed horror.

For tens of thousands of years, no one in the Origin World had been able to achieve eternal destiny, yet this Lord of the Origin Palace actually accomplished it!
In other words, he truly pioneered a path that had never been taken before.

"Hahaha, since you have chosen to die, I will grant your wish!"

The Lord of the Origin Palace, who broke through to the Eternal Realm of Destiny, changed his appearance from an old man to a young man, and his entire temperament also changed, becoming more tall and majestic.

Press lightly with the palm of your hand.

Bang bang bang bang!

Emperor Fusheng, Wu Potian, Shen Wuyue, and Liu Xuanji, the four first-level Heavenly Mandate controllers, were all sent flying backward, spitting out blood.

Luo Qiqi, Zhao Ya, and the others were merely caught in the force and fell to the ground, each one powerless to resist.
Unexpectedly, breaking through this realm would make him so powerful. Emperor Fusheng's face was ferocious as he threw the Heavenly Seal in his hand straight out, which contained the pinnacle of power and the map of the empire, crashing down with a bang.

At the same time, Liu Xuanji's Xuan-level Heavenly Fortune Disc and Shen Wuyue's Divine Oracle Heavenly Wheel also made their moves.

The three supreme treasures crashed down with a deafening roar, potentially obliterating an entire continent. Yet, when they struck the Lord of the Origin Palace, he seemed completely unaffected.

"A first-class treasure? It's nothing special!"

With a soft shout, the Lord of the Source Palace gently pinched.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The Heavenly Seal, the Mysterious Heavenly Fortune Disc, and the Divine Oracle Wheel all exploded into powder, turning into streams of air that disappeared into the sky.

"puff!"

The four masters simultaneously coughed up blood.

Their natal magic weapon was crushed, further exacerbating their injuries.

At this moment, Emperor Fusheng and the others felt that they couldn't even lift their hands, and their eyes were filled with despair.

One move shattered four top-tier treasures...

This Lord of the Source Palace is incredibly powerful!
So this is the eternal destiny. Compared to it, they are far inferior, not even on the same level.

"It's over!"

"Looks like I'm going to die!"

In an instant, despair filled the eyes of Emperor Fusheng, Wu Potian, and the others.

"Wait, what about the Heavenly Dao? Since he refined the Primordial Core, the Heavenly Dao should have taken the opportunity to manifest in the world through Nie Lingxi's body. Why hasn't it made a move yet?"

Kannazuki remembered something and hurriedly looked at the girl not far away.

Then, seeing Luo Ruoxi with her eyes tightly closed, she suddenly opened them.

His dark eyes did not convey cold indifference, but were filled with doubt and confusion.

"I'm not dead?"

Luo Ruoxi looked down at her palms, her brows furrowing.

"You...you are not the Heavenly Dao?"

Seeing her like this, the Lord of the Source Palace also seemed to be taken aback, showing a hint of confusion.

Under normal circumstances, he refined the Primordial Core, and Heaven had no choice but to possess his body and revive him. Why was this girl's consciousness not affected at all?
"You actually used me as a bargaining chip for your breakthrough, Gensei, you're shameless..."

Confirming that she was still conscious, Luo Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Lord of the Source Palace in front of her again, her face ashen.

As the strongest emperor in the divine realm, she has never been a soft-hearted person.

Once they realize the other party was using her and nearly killed her, there's no longer any semblance of teacher-student affection left.

"If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao, I wouldn't have to take action..."

With a cold laugh, the Lord of the Source Palace clapped his hands.

boom!
Luo Ruoxi was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Despite her rapid cultivation speed and numerous opportunities, she was still far inferior to this person who had reached the Eternal Destiny.

"All of you, die!"

Seeing her being knocked away, the Lord of the Source Palace no longer hesitated and slammed down.

These people know the truth about his breakthrough and must all be killed. Only in this way can he remain a good person, a sage praised by everyone.

"It's over..."

As they felt the world-destroying power crashing down, deep despair filled the eyes of Emperor Fusheng, Wu Potian, and the others.

After years of planning, I thought someone would break through and open up new paths. I even considered that I would sacrifice myself, but I never imagined that I would die at the hands of this person.

"Wuyue, I have failed you in this life. If there is an afterlife, I will promise you that we will live together forever!"

Wu Potian turned to look at the woman who had been pursuing him for many years, his eyes filled with apology.

"To hear those words before I die, my life has been worthwhile!" Shen Wuyue's eyes reddened.

He had been following in her footsteps all these years, thinking that she didn't like him at all, but it turns out... that wasn't the case!
If that's the case, then death doesn't seem so scary after all!

"Zhang Xuan, see you in the next life..."

Luo Ruoxi was also filled with sorrow and slowly closed her eyes.

Just when everyone thought they were doomed, a faint voice rang out.

"You wanted to kill someone, but did you ask me first?"

As he spoke, a young man walked over slowly, gently raising his hand. The hand that had been descending from the sky stopped in mid-air and could no longer fall.

The next moment, it turned into specks of light and dissipated into chaos.

“Zhang Xuan? You, you…”

Upon seeing the young man's face clearly, Luo Ruoxi's eyes reddened with excitement.

"You've broken through to the Eternal Realm? This... how is this possible?"

Emperor Fusheng was filled with disbelief.

Wasn't the Primordial Core refined by the Lord of the Primordial Palace? How did he break through to the next level?
"Impossible! You are definitely not in the Eternal Realm!"

Not only did he not believe it, but the Lord of the Origin Palace also couldn't believe it. His eyes were filled with shock, and he flipped his hand and slapped it towards Zhang Xuan.

"Nothing is impossible!"

With a flick of his finger, countless palm prints transformed into flying blossoms, scattering all around.

The power that could crush a first-level treasure had absolutely no effect on him.

"I must thank you for refining the Primordial Core. This thing can help people break through, but... it is not true eternity!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and looked over.

"Not truly eternal? What do you mean?" The Lord of the Source Palace couldn't believe it.

"It's very simple! You have only reached the Eternal Realm in terms of destiny, body, and spirit, but you have not succeeded in terms of power, fame, influence, fortune, wealth, and love. Only when the nine first-level destinys are completely perfected and the primordial unity is achieved can one achieve true eternity and a true breakthrough!"

With a soft hum, Zhang Xuan suddenly released a dazzling light, his whole body shimmering with golden light. An extremely powerful sense of oppression emanated from his body, and endless power flowed rapidly, like a torrential rain.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan's internal energy was perfectly balanced and without any flaws.

"That's impossible. I am the only eternal one; no one else can..."

The Lord of the Source Palace launched a frenzied attack on the young man before him, unleashing a storm of attacks that landed on Zhang Xuan without even scratching his skin.

It's like a helpless child attacking Ultraman Taylor; the two are simply not in the same league.

"Alright, this farce should end now!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand gently.

Wow!

The Lord of the Origin Palace, who had just displayed unparalleled power and easily defeated Emperor Fusheng and others, immediately developed cracks in his body, which then shattered layer by layer, turning into ashes and dissipating into the chaos before his eyes.

Only one Primordial Core remained, suspended in mid-air, spinning rapidly.

"This……"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes revealing disbelief and shock.

With a casual wave of his hand, he killed a peerless powerhouse with an eternal destiny... Just what level has Zhang Xuan reached? And how did he succeed?

“Zhang Xuan…” Luo Ruoxi also came up to him with a puzzled look on her face.

"With the help of the library, I refined all the destiny of the source world and replaced the heavenly Dao of the source world. This not only saved you, but also saved myself!"

Zhang Xuan explained with a smile.

The source of the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World lies in countless Destinies. When all the Destinies were devoured by Zhang Xuan, it naturally lost its power. Therefore, Luo Ruoxi was not possessed, and he successfully merged countless Destinies into his body, achieving the most powerful and incredible Eternal Realm!

"Emperor Fusheng, Wu Potian, from now on there will be no more shackles of heaven and earth. As long as you can cultivate your own destiny to eternity, it will be equivalent to breaking through to the Eternal Realm!"

Zhang Xuan explained with a smile.

Becoming the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World, the so-called rules are nothing more than a thought away.

Even if one only cultivates one destiny in the future, one can still achieve eternity. However, the difference in destiny will lead to a vast disparity in strength!

Moreover, the more destinies one merges, the stronger one becomes. However, almost no one can achieve what he did, merging all destinies into one body.

"Yes!"

Realizing that they finally had a way out and were no longer bound by fate, Emperor Fusheng and the others were all flushed with excitement.

"Nie Yun, my father..."

Luo Ruoxi looked over nervously.

"He's fine. He's just temporarily sealed inside the Primal Core. With his talent and power, it won't be long before he refines it and achieves an Eternity no weaker than mine."

Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile: "As for you, the Heavenly Dao has been extinguished within you. Although your consciousness is gone, your power remains. As long as you can completely digest this power, breaking through to eternity will be just around the corner!"

"it is good!"

Luo Ruoxi nodded and looked at the young man in front of her again, revealing her admiration.

Starting from humble beginnings, he has risen step by step to where he is today, constantly creating legends. Now, he has become an eternal legend, and no matter how many years or countless eras pass, he will never fade or be irreplaceable.
