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

Chapter 467: Chapter 102 Pure Karma Dragon Tree Bodhisattva

Thump, thump, thump!

Seemingly sensing the pressure in front of it, the Eternal Heart not only did not get tense but beat even faster. Every squeeze caused the dense demonic qi from the Essence Pill of the Yin Sha Demon Monarch to blend with the blood and flow into every cell of the body.

“Heavenly Mandate Vitality, transform into Buddhist Power!”

Knowing that continuously burning demonic qi would make him fall into the Demon Path, unable to escape, Zhang Xuan summoned his spirit. The countless Destiny Plates obtained from Lai Chengyi immediately exploded.

Having connected with the No Self Destiny of Blue Cloud Venerable before, the Library of Heaven’s Path had already replicated a similar river inside. Although it was very tiny, at this moment, with innumerable pure yuan power flooding in, it rapidly surged.

Second level, third level, fourth level…

Blue Cloud Venerable was an 8-star pinnacle Fate Master, with his comprehension of No Self Destiny reaching the pinnacle of this realm, the so-called eighth level.

Although Zhang Xuan’s comprehension was not as deep, he had once harnessed the power within the river and had carefully studied it with the Emotional Silk Heavenly Destiny. Therefore, it was effortless for him to elevate the river inside the library to the fifth-level pinnacle!

At this moment, the entire river was vast and turbulent, and although it was far from being as vast as Blue Cloud Venerable’s, it was filled with an aura of Buddhist Qi.

Buzz!

Under the extraction of the Eternal Heart, these powers, mixed with the intent from the relics of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle and Pure Karma Dragon Tree Bodhisattva, caused a gigantic “卍” symbol to appear from nowhere, enveloping the entire body.

“Die!”

The Soul Summoning Sword appeared out of nowhere, attacking together with the Yin Sha Demon Bone towards the Red Flame Demon Monarch at high speed.

“You, you are from the Buddhist Sect? You, you want to seize my Karma Fire Red Lotus?”

Seeing him suddenly exuding a powerful Buddhist aura, the Red Flame Demon Monarch was no longer calm, his eyes flashing with fear, as if some memory buried deep inside was awakened.

Swoosh!

The flaming lotus burning around the Red Flame Demon Monarch was instantly retracted into his body.

In terms of strength, he was not weaker than Zhang Xuan, and even with the Karma Fire Red Lotus, he was stronger. For this reason, despite the quick ambush by the two, it was still resisted and completely ineffective.

Now, out of fear, he voluntarily withdrew the Karma Fire Red Lotus, essentially weakening his own strength. Most importantly, his determination was not as strong as before. Seeing the bone and sword approaching, he not only had no thought of resistance but instead turned to flee.

“Fool, he is not the Pure Karma Dragon Tree Bodhisattva!”

The Blood Venerate Demon Emperor rushing over in the sky couldn’t help but curse.

In a battle among masters, momentum, mentality, strength, and techniques—none can be lacking. Originally evenly matched, once fear emerged, the outcome was decided.

However, wanting to kill his subordinate in one move, even he would find it difficult. The one before him wasn’t likely to succeed either. As long as his subordinate dodged one strike, both he and the Ghost Bone Demon Monarch would arrive, and then no matter who that person was, they would die!

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Sword qi whistled like a flute, producing a weeping sound. The Yin Sha Demon Bone moved extremely swiftly. The powerful aura released by the two weapons reached the Red Flame Demon Monarch’s spine in a fraction of a breath.

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

The Molten Rock Chain automatically protected its master, blocking most of the attack outside, while the Heaven-Burning Phoenix Tattoo spun continuously and transformed into a sea of flames.

Blocked by these two, the power of the Youqing Sword Technique was suddenly reduced by more than half and could be extinguished at any moment.

The strength of the Youqing Sword Technique lies in its ability to manipulate emotions. But at this moment, Zhang Xuan had only comprehended the Emotional Silk Heavenly Destiny to the fifth-level pinnacle. Compared to the Red Flame Demon Monarch’s eighth-level pinnacle, there was a huge gap, making the sword technique only slightly stronger than ordinary sword arts.

“Fear is an emotion. In that case, I will use it!”

Knowing that this move wouldn’t kill him and that he wouldn’t have another chance, Zhang Xuan might get caught by the Blood Venerate Demon Emperor and lose his chance to escape. A ruthless light flashed in his eyes, and with a low shout, his heart began to beat even faster!

Thump, thump, thump!

In a fraction of a breath, it beat dozens of times, consuming nearly half of the Essence Pill obtained from the Yin Sha Demon Monarch.

This was the strength of the Eternal Heart. In normal cultivation and life, it would beat once every ten years or even a hundred years. The energy it contained could maintain normal operations. But in battle, having it beat tens of thousands or millions of times in a single breath was a piece of cake.

“Emotional Silk Heavenly Destiny, release!”

With power surging through his body, Zhang Xuan no longer hid. With a low shout, an image of a Star River appeared above his head in the phantasm space.

The Star River gradually converged, and the rumbling of the river changed from distant thunder to the thundering of thousands of horses.

In an instant, a River of Destiny that seemed endless and boundless was forcibly pulled out from the depths of the void.

“This, this…”

The Blood Venerate Demon Emperor, who was charging forward, never expected that this guy would suddenly unleash such a powerful River of Destiny, pausing in surprise.

This river was so vast that it was even broader and larger than what he had comprehended.

He understood a Second-Level Heavenly Destiny; then what had the other comprehended?

First Level?

An indestructible Pseudo Immortal with a First-Level Destiny, hunting down his subordinate? Was this a joke?

What virtue or ability did this subordinate possess to warrant such an effort?

“Emotional Silk Heavenly Destiny, amplify his fear…”

With the River of Destiny drawn forth, Zhang Xuan stepped onto its surface, resembling the Combat God. With a low shout, countless waves made up of fear instantly submerged the Red Flame Demon Monarch.

Buzz!

With a soft hum, Zhang Xuan saw an unprecedented painting unfold before his eyes.

A lotus-shaped flame was born from a volcano, absorbing the power of the fire and gradually gaining spiritual wisdom. Later, it transformed into a human and roamed the world until one day, meeting a Buddha.

The Buddha was kind and compassionate, full of love for all beings. After several days together, the flame lifeform completely submitted to him and became his disciple.

Together they traveled and cultivated for countless years.

One day, this Buddha suddenly called the flame lifeform over, used powerful mana to confine it, and forcibly extracted the core of its Karma Fire Red Lotus, ignoring its kneeling and crying.

The only words spoken were: The master is about to advance to the Bodhisattva Realm, and as the disciple, it is your unshirkable duty to give everything…

The flame lifeform, after losing its core, although not dead, was abandoned. On the verge of death, it encountered the Blood Venerate Demon Emperor and became a demon, slaughtering the weak and absorbing their power to restore its cultivation. From then on, the Red Lotus Venerable ceased to exist, replaced by the Red Flame Demon Monarch.

“So that’s it, his master must be the Pure Karma Dragon Tree Bodhisattva…”

After seeing all of this, Zhang Xuan’s eyes were full of sympathy.

But sympathy was one thing; the killing still had to be done.

Being harmed is a reason to find a way to hurt back, not to become someone who harms ordinary people.
