Chapter 681 "Madness"?
Soul contracts, once established, resonated with the very soul. Unless personally解除 (jiěchú - dissolved) by the creator, even individuals with heaven-defying abilities were powerless to undo them.
It was akin to the Undying Emperor, Little Yellow Chicken. Though he was merely a God-King before, facing an Emperor-level being like himself, he similarly lacked the means to resolve such an agreement.
To prevent this fellow from changing his mind and unleashing a backlash, the Master Teacher Continent had specifically decreed that even if the other party could escape the Heavenly Dao's book, they could not break free from the soul-level agreement!
"A soul contract indeed cannot be split from the sea of consciousness, but I have fused with a special gas that can even dissolve the Heavenly Dao. Dissolving such a contract is not difficult... As long as there is enough power to bombard the location of the contract, it can be done!"
Heng Ren said.
Soul contracts were built on the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. Since this special power could dissolve the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm, dissolving a soul contract, with proper handling, was a simple matter.
"I see..." Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.
"Telling you so much is my way of thanking you for bringing me to the God Realm!"
After explaining, Heng Ren said no more. The aura around her grew even more ancient and distant, and the black hole behind her became even larger. Clearly, in the time she had spent talking, she had devoured an unknown amount of power for nourishment.
"Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger she becomes..."
Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong and quickly transmitted her voice.
"Let's prepare to attack!" All his doubts dispelled, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and abruptly raised the long sword in his hand. "If that's the case, then let's see the truth under our hands!"
*Rumble!*
The most powerful sword intent was unleashed once again.
Living, I shall return; dead, I shall long for you!
With life and death of no concern, what else could stop him?
Although this sword technique had not reached the level of comprehension of an Emperor, it contained all the obsessions in his heart, pushing the *Tian Ruo You Qing* (Heaven If It Has Sentiments) Technique within his body to the limit.
*Whoosh!*
A single sword strike split Heng Ren's attack in two.
At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also attacked, her jade hands swirling, and sword light like snow.
Her sword technique was somewhat similar to that of the youth from Sword God Heaven, carrying an indomitable momentum and the unrestrained elegance of the Great Dao.
"Your moves are powerful, but compared to me, they are still lacking..."
With a light smile, Heng Ren reached down again.
In an instant, the sky was covered, the palm enveloping the entire world. Space shattered, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed to be forcibly struck down.
*Pfft! Pfft!*
Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew out at the same time, spewing blood in mid-air.
With their combined strength, they were unable to withstand it!
What realm had this fellow reached?
"Presumptuous!" The clone strode forward, each step causing lotuses to bloom, the sound of flowing water echoing in the void.
From a distance, he looked impressive.
Having refined the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation was no weaker than Zhang Xuan's.
A fist raised, power surged to the nine heavens.
Colliding with Heng Ren, he was similarly sent flying, unable to withstand a single blow.
Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.
Even after becoming an Emperor, the clone still hadn't changed his nature of *zhuang bi* (show off)...
Such dazzling *zhuang bi* was not as effective as concentrating his power, which would have been more powerful!
"Attack together, or else, if they die, we will all die..."
Little Yellow Chicken roared, crimson flames burning, as if igniting the sky.
The remaining six Emperors also unleashed their respective abilities.
The seven Emperors combined their power, destroying the heavens and earth. An entire world couldn't withstand them, but the opponent was Heng Ren, who had absorbed a special power. As the attacks approached, the black hole suddenly expanded, swallowing the power cleanly in the blink of an eye, and then counterattacking.
*Bang bang bang bang!*
The seven Emperors, like Zhang Xuan and the others, flew out.
Ten Emperors, united together, couldn't even withstand a single blow from the opponent!
How could this fellow be so powerful?
"You can die..."
After defeating everyone with a single move, Heng Ren took a step forward, and with a flick of her wrist, slapped down again.
"How dare you, you rat!"
Accompanying a loud shout, the old man from Sword God Heaven suddenly appeared, blocking the attack. The long sword in his hand transformed into a silver river.
"Emperor? He's also an Emperor-level expert?"
Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.
This old man had been following behind the youth from Sword God Heaven, and he had assumed he was merely an attendant, at most a Conferred God-King. Only now, as he unleashed his power, did he realize that he was also an Emperor-level expert!
If he was an Emperor, then what was that youth?
"He himself is the Emperor of Sword God Heaven..." Struggling to stand, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth.
"Then... what about the youth who taught me the sword technique?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"He is..." Just as Luo Ruoxi was about to answer, space twisted, and they saw the Emperor from Sword God Heaven also fly out, landing not far away, creating a large pit.
Zhang Xuan's current strength and comprehension of the sword were far beyond his, and he couldn't resist the attack. Even if his cultivation was not weak and his swordsmanship was superb, he was still no match.
"Haha, Emperors, just a bunch of chickens and dogs! Today, I will destroy the Nine Heavens, destroy this God Realm, and flatten all the rules!"
Defeating the Emperor of Sword God Heaven, Heng Ren laughed madly, the surrounding space constantly collapsing, making her appear like a demon.
"What do we do?" Zhang Xuan clenched his fists.
Just now, he and his clone had both unleashed their strongest combat power. Even Luo Ruoxi in front of him had used her strongest moves, but they couldn't withstand a single blow from the opponent...
Could it be that no one in the God Realm could stop this person before him?
Would they let him destroy the world?
"The only way... is to return your flawed Heavenly Dao to the Heavenly Dao itself, and let the Heavenly Dao suppress him..." Luo Ruoxi clenched her delicate fists, her eyes reddening.
"Return to the Heavenly Dao itself?" Zhang Xuan knew what she meant.
The Library of Heaven's Path in his mind was originally a part of the Heavenly Dao. Once it returned, the Heavenly Dao would be completely whole, and it might be able to repair the loopholes and expel Heng Ren on its own.
It was like the human body's immune system.
When the immune system was complete, viruses could be easily driven away. When it was damaged, it couldn't resist the invasion of viruses, and even the strongest person would die because of it.
But...
"He's too powerful. Even if the Heavenly Dao is restored to its completeness, it won't be able to suppress him!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Viruses can be killed by the immune system, but... what about tigers?
What could even the strongest immune system do?
The one before them was not an ordinary God-King, and even if he was Conferred, the Heavenly Dao could easily kill him. But he was more powerful than an Emperor... he was already beyond what the Heavenly Dao could contend with.
"This..." Luo Ruoxi paused, a look of disappointment on her fair jade face. "Yes... it can't be suppressed, but when the Heavenly Dao is complete, he will wake up, and it won't be difficult to kill this one!"
"He?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"I'll take you to see him. He's in the *Zizai* (Free and Unfettered) Heaven..." Taking a deep breath, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth and turned to fly forward.
"Trying to escape?" Heng Ren snorted coldly and pressed down.
