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

Chapter 440: Chapter 75 Fierce Battle (Part 5)

Crash!

The sword qi swept across, splitting the three cauldrons on the spot. Its remaining force unabated, it descended upon Jiang Li’s head.

“Break!”

Jiang Li’s face twisted, and he threw a fierce punch upward.

The sword qi was struck by powerful strength and wavered a few times. Zhang Xuan was about to exert more force when he discovered the Cold Nether Sword in his palm couldn’t withstand the violent sword qi, crumbling inch by inch into flying ash.

The sword was forged from ordinary materials. Although enhanced considerably through the Creator of the New World’s techniques, it still had its limits. The power unleashed just now from Buddha Demon Fusion was too immense, reaching its limit directly.

Without a weapon, Zhang Xuan’s strength was significantly reduced. Now, he couldn’t kill the opponent in front of him in one move and reclaim the power supply. Once Blue Cloud Venerable and Prince Yuanqing completed the encirclement, his death was certain.

“This is my only option…”

Knowing he had no time for contemplation, Zhang Xuan’s eyes turned crimson, and with a flick of his wrist, a treasure tower appeared before him. With a light tap, a white, glassy bone surfaced.

The White Bone Sky Observation Relic from the first layer of the Relic Tower!

This was the Hand Bone Relic of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle. Back then, this Bodhisattva battled with the Otherworldly Heavenly Demon, killing each other in the fight. The Buddha retrieved the bodies and condensed this Buddha Bone.

The bone resembled white jade and crystal glass, emitting a faint Buddha light, and as soon as it appeared, Buddhist sounds resonated in the air.

“How dare you dismantle the Reincarnation Tower…”

Blue Cloud Venerable was about to go mad.

The strength of the Reincarnation Relic Tower primarily relied on its nine Buddha Bone Relics. Taking them apart was equivalent to separating the artifact. Even if it were reclaimed, it would lose its overall effect and certainly incur the Buddha’s wrath.

Ignoring his fury and roars, Zhang Xuan, after extracting the relic, gave a low shout as the Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle’s bone merged into his palm.

Thump thump thump thump thump!

His heart accelerated, the powerful strength continuously scrubbing away residual intentions, and within less than a thousandth of a breath, it was forcibly refined.

Back when the Buddha condensed the Reincarnation Relic Tower, it was intended for cultivating the Eternal Golden Body. Thus, each Buddha Bone had a natural conformance to the Eternal Heart.

Realizing this, Zhang Xuan used the last bit of strength in his body to forcibly experiment, intending to merge this celestial treasure left by the Buddha into his entire being, converging to form the strongest corporeal being in this Source World.

Luckily, his luck held, and he succeeded directly.

Boom!

The relic was refined by him. Zhang Xuan’s right hand seemed to swell instantly, his skin becoming whiter and more delicate, and a “卍” symbol abruptly appeared in his palm, striking down on Elder Jiang Li, who had just barely escaped danger.

From the Cold Nether Sword’s shattering to refining the White Bone Sky Observation Relic, it took less than half a breath. At this moment, Jiang Li had not yet recovered from the Youqing Sword Technique, and Zhang Xuan’s powerful strength loomed overhead.

“You…”

Jiang Li turned pale, wanting to escape, but realized he couldn’t.

The White Bone Sky Observation Relic could sever cause and effect. With one palm strike, all causality was destroyed, fleeing was impossible. He raised both palms to resist, only to find the youth before him possessed both Buddha and demon aspects, with a surprisingly tremendous strength.

Bam!

Unable to hold on any longer, his corporeal form exploded.

If it were Zhang Xuan, with the beating of the Eternal Heart, he could directly recover; he couldn’t do it and knew the opponent would not give him a chance. His soul transformed into a shadow and turned to flee.

Knowing now wasn’t the time for pursuit, Zhang Xuan gently grasped, collecting the shattered body and storage rings into the New World.

Boom!

The power contained within the shattered body, upon entering his body, was immediately extracted by the powerful heart, transforming into pure energy that filled his entire being,

“Great…” Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he hadn’t obliterated the opponent’s soul, he successfully refined his entire power, replenishing the void left by the exhaustion of the Frost Demon Lord’s energy. Along with the various medicines and pills in the opponent’s storage rings, he should not need to worry about depletion for a short time.

“You’re seeking death!”

At that moment, Prince Yuanqing and Blue Cloud Venerable arrived, both furious, attacking simultaneously. The space before them collapsed layer by layer. Knowing that even refining the White Bone Sky Observation Relic, he couldn’t be a match for the two, Zhang Xuan didn’t resist head-on, retreating while observing the changes in his hand.

After merging with the Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle’s relic, Zhang Xuan’s entire hand, upon channeling strength, appeared glassy, like a supreme and yang celestial treasure.

The connection between hand and heart became closer, like an inseparable whole.

“This should be the feeling of the Eternal Golden Body…” Zhang Xuan realized.

Although the Eternal Heart hadn’t fully transformed into the Nine Veins, and this hand hadn’t perfectly fused with the Buddha Bone, the combination of the two boosted his power explosively, elevating his combat abilities. Previously, he might have been at a disadvantage against these two’s attacks, but now he was already handling it with ease.

“Let’s try the second relic!”

Knowing the more relics refined, the greater the success rate of the Eternal Golden Body, Zhang Xuan’s thought moved, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus Relic from the second layer was brought out.

This was forged from the Pure Karma Dragon Tree Bodhisattva’s major dragon vertebra.

This Bodhisattva, once battling a Demon King in the Nine Netherworld Blood Sea, unable to gain the upper hand, extracted his vertebra and burned ten thousand miles with karmic fire to kill the opponent.

However, after this battle, his power was exhausted, and he passed away publicly after returning to Lingjiu Mountain. The Buddha commemorated his merit, leaving this relic on the second layer.

The vertebra appeared, squirming towards Zhang Xuan’s spine. Upon contact with his skeleton, he felt boundless power rushing in, almost draining him.

“No, it’s not time for refinement yet…”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly returned the relic to the Reincarnation Tower.

Refinement was possible, but the power consumption was immense. He succeeded earlier by borrowing Blue Cloud Venerable’s power and the last magical abilities from the Frost Demon Lord’s Essence Pill.

Currently battling two formidable opponents, consuming power for refinement only to achieve the Eternal Golden Body clearly wasn’t worth it.

However, although unsuccessful, it confirmed one thing: if he could somehow refine all nine relics in the Reincarnation Tower and combined them with the Eternal Heart, he must achieve the so-called Eternal Golden Body!

Though uncertain of its specific effects, it could be predicted that once successful, even without cultivation at the peak of Life Sea Realm, he could battle these two, possibly even crushing them with ease.

“I have no time to tussle with you, farewell…”

Having acquired everything he wanted, Zhang Xuan lost interest in continuing. With two palm strikes, he repelled Prince Yuanqing and Blue Cloud Venerable, an air wave exploding behind him as he swiftly retreated straight into the distance.

As he narrowly escaped the two’s attack range, the space ahead twisted, and six tall figures appeared suddenly.

Five Forms Venerable Sage and Ren Qiuyao.

They followed behind Blue Cloud Venerable and had arrived here.
