Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 556 - 52: Heavenly Destiny Contract (Part 1)

Zhang Xuan was charging through the cultivation realm, while outside the Ten Directions Demon Realm, numerous figures suddenly appeared.

The Heavenly Dao Punishment brought about by the breakthrough of the Xuanyuan War Chariot had already slowly dispersed, yet the sky remained densely covered with storm clouds, as dark as an impending tempest.

Whoosh!

The space trembled for a moment, and two graceful figures suddenly appeared.

The leading one had silver hair cascading like a waterfall, eyes icy blue, and her entire body was enveloped in a faint mist-like water pattern. She wore the Mystic Nether Ice Soul Armor, adorned with the Northern Domain Ice Glacier Totem, with cold air condensing into Glacial Frost.

Beside her, the other figure was tall and lithe, with a near-perfect physique, her jet-black long hair draped down, her bright eyes filled with deep worry.

The Water Destiny Master, Water Emperor Yun Shuiyao, and her newly accepted inheritor, Zhao Ya!

"Your Majesty, you mean to say... Teacher is trapped within this Demon Realm by the Buddha and Demon Lord and can’t escape?"

Looking at the gray Ten Directions Demon Realm ahead, Zhao Ya’s eyes revealed a deep worry.

At this moment, although she had received the core inheritance of the Water Heavenly Destiny, she had only practiced for a short time, her cultivation was around Life Sea 3-dan, far from capable of participating in such battles. The reason she was brought here was that the Water Emperor knew her true identity, that she was a direct disciple of this Zhang Xuan.

"Yes, this is what the Demon Lord and Buddha said just now in the Wuxiang Soul Court! Later, persuade your teacher well, lest they make a foolish move, otherwise, being wanted by the entire Source World, death is certain."

Yun Shuiyao carefully instructed.

"I understand..." Zhao Ya nodded, just as she was about to say something more, a spear of light pierced through the space not far away, suddenly appearing nearby.

The next moment, two towering figures walked out from the spear’s shadow.

It was the Hall Master of the Soldier King Hall, Gun God Liu Wuming, and his newly accepted inheritor, Zheng Yang.

Liu Wuming, standing nine feet tall, with fiery red hair and beard, wielded a spear entwined with blood-colored Evil Qi, giving the impression of being capable of piercing people at any moment. As for Zheng Yang, after a few months apart, his aura had changed considerably, and his eyes were filled with dragon-like Spear Intent ready to burst forth at any time.

His cultivation was the same as Zhao Ya’s, both being around Life Sea 3-dan, not too strong.

"Senior Sister..."

Seeing Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing about the teacher’s situation, he guessed that many fellow disciples would surely come. Now it seemed to be true.

Looking around, as the space trembled, numerous figures appeared one after another, Wang Ying, Liu Yang, Yuan Tao, Lu Chong, Wei Ruyan, and the others appeared one by one.

"Demon Lord, most of us are here now, could you open the Ten Directions Demon Realm to let us in?"

At this moment, a faint voice arose.

This time, not only did the sects and forces sheltering Zhang Xuan’s disciples come, but almost half of all Second-level and Third Level Destiny Masters from the entire Source World arrived!

Merely the Bodhisattva Level experts numbered no less than a few hundred, with seven or eight more at the Buddha Realm level.

This gathering was unprecedented in the Source World.

"Naturally!"

The Demon Lord smiled faintly, and a bridge immediately appeared over the Ten Directions Demon Realm, stretching out and hovering before the crowd.

Everyone streamed in, and soon they saw the Buddha and Demon Lord levitating in mid-air, one radiating Demonic Qi, the other shining with Buddha Light, seemingly in a never-ending battle, yet they remained entirely still, like intimate friends meditating together over tea.

"Buddha, Demon Lord, where is Zhang Xuan you’re speaking of?"

An elder couldn’t help but call out.

This was one of the eight Buddha Realm experts who came this time. While others were wary of these two, he was indifferent.

"Naturally here, Zhang Xuan, how long will you continue to hide?"

The Demon Lord chuckled lightly, striking his hand toward a specific location on the mountaintop below.

Boom!

The mountain peak collapsed, and a war chariot suddenly materialized in the Phantasm Space.

Zhang Xuan had shrunk the Xuanyuan War Chariot to the size of dust, making it difficult for others to see, but as the master of the Ten Directions Demon Realm, nothing escaped the Demon Lord’s eyes. Having waited until everyone gathered, there was no need for further disguise.

"So many people?"

In the midst of his cultivation, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes amidst the tremor, only to realize that countless experts surrounded him. Even with the formidable Xuanyuan War Chariot, defense seemed hard to guarantee.

Since when did the Buddha and Demon Lord gain enough influence to call so many reinforcements at once?

With a gentle shift, he stepped out of the Xuanyuan War Chariot, hovering in the air. This celestial treasure had long been thoroughly Forged by him; should anyone attack, a mere thought could take him back inside, leaving no concern about ambushes.

"Is this the seventh-ranked Xuanyuan War Chariot? Truly extraordinary!"

"What an overwhelming presence. If I possessed this artifact, what would the Buddha and Demon Lord amount to!"

"This must be Zhang Xuan, known for troubling figures like the Buddha and Demon Lord, truly remarkable."

...

Upon witnessing the appearance of the Xuanyuan War Chariot and Zhang Xuan, whispers echoed around, while Zhao Ya and her companions displayed waves of excitement.

Indeed, it was the teacher. Despite a lack of support from any faction, he alone achieved such heights within just a few months.

"Zhang Xuan, with the Xuanyuan War Chariot advancing to the seventh position of the Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure, it has already triggered the Heavenly Destiny Contract! Now, you have two choices: first, abide by the contract and become a protector of the contract. Second, disregard it and willfully proceed, then be wanted by the entire Source World as a Mandate Chaos Master!"

The Demon Lord’s lips curled.

"Heavenly Destiny Contract?" Zhang Xuan curiously looked over; this was the first he had heard of it.

"Unique Destiny, you should know this law, but in reality, many can comprehend a Second Path, even a Third Path or more!" The Demon Lord explained.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Not mentioning others, he himself had comprehended several Destinies, with each holding a considerable Level.

The Demon Lord continued, "Normally, it is difficult to comprehend, but once the cultivation reaches a certain realm, it’s possible to strip others’ practiced Destinies through direct absorption. If unchecked, it leads to the strong becoming ever stronger, concentrating all Destinies into a few hands..."

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

This was human nature, and also inevitable.

Like some corporate giants, if not regulated, all wealth would consolidate into fewer hands, leaving ordinary people unable to survive.

In simple terms, if killing could seize Destinies, someone like Emperor Fusheng only needed to wander and kill to comprehend more Destinies, growing endlessly stronger, resulting in countless Destinies severing continuity, ultimately making it difficult for a diverse blooming to occur.

Perhaps at some point in the Source World, such a situation occurred, leading to the creation of the so-called Heavenly Destiny Contract. During this time, one could imagine the entire Source World was filled with slaughter, rivers of blood flowing.
