Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Chapter 340: Chapter 198: Lots of Heavenly Mandate Vitality
 

As everyone stood around in anger and confusion, the young man ceased his attack on the sculpture and walked over to the pool, placing both of his palms on it.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, it seemed as though he had transformed into a pump, as Heavenly Mandate Vitality in its liquid form surged crazily into his body.

“This…”

Mo Baiye and the others were all dumbfounded.

Could he really do that?

They had to comprehend and explore various things for each absorption they performed, but he, resembling a whale swallowing water, was even more terrifying. How did he manage to do it?

Still shocked and unable to figure out what was happening, they saw that the originally not-so-large pool had already gone down by nearly half.

That is to say, in just a short while, this guy had swallowed over two billion strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality!

“We can’t let him devour all this Heavenly Mandate Vitality. If we finish the Apprentice Gift ceremony, we won’t be able to comprehend the Heavenly Destiny of the Ceremony!”

“Brother Du” shouted out.

To comprehend destiny, one needed to consume Heavenly Mandate Vitality, just like an engine needs gasoline. Each time they performed the Apprentice Gift, they could comprehend a portion. Having worshipped the twelve sculptures, they should be able to comprehend the “Ceremony” destiny to the third level, or even the fourth level, and completely enter the threshold!

This guy, however, absorbed all the Heavenly Mandate Vitality, and with no gasoline for the engine… even if they tried to “worship” hard, it was useless!

“Exactly, we must stop him!”

Mo Baiye nodded.

“Brother Mo, it’s up to you now, hurry and stop him!” Su Chen yelled.

“I…” his mouth twitched, and Mo Baiye found himself at a loss for words.

If he rushed over to stop it now, he would, like Ling Yusheng, violate the rules and then be burned to ashes.

If he did not rush to stop it, even if they continued with the “Apprentice Gift,” without the augmentation of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, it would just be a waste of time. Most crucially, one of the sculptures was damaged. Continuing the “Apprentice Gift” to the last step would still break the rules!

“Brother Du, among us, you are the strongest. Why don’t you give it a try?”

Holding back to the point where his face turned red, Mo Baiye couldn’t help but look towards this expert who wielded a long saber by his side.

“Me?”

“Brother Du” knew what he meant, and with a flick of his sleeve, said: “This is the trouble you caused, naturally you should deal with it!”

“I could handle it, but… having lost an arm, my strength is greatly impaired. Even if I rushed over, I might not necessarily be his match…”

Mo Baiye sighed bitterly.

He knew his own condition very well. At his peak, he might have tried, but now, missing an arm and his cultivation far below Ling Yusheng, coupled with Mo Dao Destiny being countered by the opponent, violating the rules under such circumstances would undoubtedly lead to death.

“Brother Du, it’s different for you. Right now, rushing out would break the rules, and waiting here is still breaking the rules. You might as well rush over and subdue him! If you can force him to reveal how he avoids breaking the rules, not only can all of us be saved, but when we look for artifacts later, we won’t have to worry…”

Mo Baiye continued.

Brother Du fell silent.@@novelbin@@

He had to admit, the other party made a lot of sense.

This Zhang Xuan, despite having broken the rules, had not been punished, so he must have a special method. If he could learn it… wouldn’t all the artifacts within Zhilan Valley be his?

Considering the current situation was such that whatever he did would break the rules, he might as well take the risk!

“Give me your Ice Cold Fruit!”

Quick to decide, his eyes flashed as Brother Du extended his palm.

Knowing he had made a decision, Mo Baiye didn’t waste words and handed over the Ice Cold Fruit he had just purchased.

Upon receiving the fruit, Brother Du tossed it to Mu Hongtao, who was not far away.

“Take this. In a while, we will go out together and besiege Zhang Xuan. We must capture him alive!”

Brother Du said.

Mu Hongtao nodded.

Brother Du looked back at Su Chen and the others, “With the current situation, as you can see, we are dispatching two people from our side. You should also dispatch two from your side!”

Su Chen hesitated for a moment and then nodded, “Once we catch the guy, we also want to learn the methods not bound by rules!”

“Of course!” Brother Du responded affirmatively.

Once they learned the method, with his strength, killing these people would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. Dead people, after all. What would it matter if they knew?

Therefore, even agreeing was of no real concern.

“Alright!”

Unaware of his intentions, Su Chen and Wen Lingxun exchanged a glance and nodded, then approached the other party.

“Let’s go!”

Having devised a strategy, the four of them did not hesitate. They each took out artifacts like the Ice Cold Fruit and swallowed them first.

Although Qin Xiaofei had only exchanged three Ice Cold Fruits, the others had similar items. The tribulation of fire and water, while terrifying, also had solutions, but these were only enough to save their lives. To pass the tribulation unscathed was almost impossible!

Huh!

Once everything was ready, they all charged towards Zhang Xuan together. Before they even reached him, they split into four directions to block every possible escape route.

They evidently wanted a sure shot to kill him.

“Quick response…”

As Zhang Xuan, who was devouring Heavenly Mandate Vitality, saw the people breaking the rules to rush over, he understood what was happening. He snorted coldly and looked down toward the pool.

At that moment, the water in the pool was almost completely absorbed. In the Library of Heaven’s Path, four billion books hovered in mid-air, densely packed.

“Replenish the fragments of the heavens!”

Knowing he had to enhance his strength to face the crisis, Zhang Xuan did not bother to conserve energy. With a thought, tens of millions of books turned into streams of energy and surged towards the Giant Wave Formation’s destiny.

This was a well-forged destiny. As long as there was enough Heavenly Mandate Vitality, rapid progress was possible. Previously, due to limited resources, he had only reached the Level Four Early Stage. Now flush with abundant resources, he no longer cared about conserving them.

Crack, Crack!

Accompanied by a series of roaring sounds, this destiny reached the grade-4 pinnacle in the blink of an eye.

The Giant Wave Formation, inherently possessing the potential of the Fifth Level Destiny, had its Heavenly Mandate Vitality thoroughly purified by the library and transformed into compatible Strength, which madly surged in.

With another roaring sound, it broke through the shackles of the fifth level and charged toward the Peak of Fifth Level.

The Fifth Level Destiny had the ability to command destiny and corresponded to the 5-star Fate Master. As for cultivation, it far surpassed the Galaxy 9-dan!

In other words, in just over a dozen breaths, the oppression generated by the Giant Wave Formation was more terrifying than that of a Galaxy 9-dan warrior!

“Hmph!”

Knowing his goal had been achieved, Zhang Xuan stopped dodging and stood in place, absorbing energy while he scoffed coldly.

Boom!

This scoff, combined with the oppressive feel of the Giant Wave Formation, resounded in the ears of everyone like thunder. In an instant, attacking individuals like Brother Du and Mu Hongtao felt intense fear in the depths of their souls, as if facing a sky-devouring giant beast that could swallow them at any moment.

“What kind of destiny is this? How could it be so powerful?”

Body trembling, Brother Du involuntarily halted his attacking force. With a “thud,” he fell straight from the sky.
