Library of Heaven's Path Chapter 2234 - Conferred God King of the Nine Skies 1

Chapter 2234 Conferred God King of the Nine Skies 1

Grasping tightly at the mist that had come from Kong shi’s body, Luo Ruoxin was in a daze.
The Heaven Subjugation Monarch had awed many people ever since his arrival in the Firmament. Even the God Monarchs had ended up submitting to him one after another.
Luo Ruoxin had walked into the battle with the resolve that she could possibly lose her life, but in the end, she was the one who had survived.
That had been Kong shi’s most powerful technique. Even though she had traveled to the lower worlds to figure out his abilities and spent a great deal of time trying to devise a counter for it, everything had happened so smoothly that she could not help feeling a little dazed.
It almost felt as if Kong shi had given up on the battle at the last moment.
When she executed her very last strike, for a split second, she could see relief on Kong shi’s face, as if he had finally fulfilled what he had set out to do.
After a moment of silence, Luo Ruoxin collected the mist with a flick of her finger before heaving a sigh of relief. Then, she turned her sight toward a certain someone not too far away.
The young man whom she loved dearly was dashing toward the area where Kong shi had fallen. He desperately tried to retain the remnants of Kong shi’s energy, but his efforts were futile.
Knowing Zhang Xuan’s feelings, Luo Ruoxin hesitated for a moment before walking toward him and saying, “This is fate. There’s nothing we can do about it…”
Those who possessed a fragment of the heavens carried a fate that they could not escape from.
Zhang Xuan lowered his head for a long while before he quietly replied, “I understand…”
He did not want to accept it, but it was a fact that Kong shi was really dead!
Ever since his time on the Master Teacher Continent, Kong shi had served as a guide to him, shining light on the path that he should take. While he had never formally acknowledged the other party as his teacher, he viewed the other party as his mentor and respected him deeply.
He did not think that the other party would vanish from the face of the world shortly after their first meeting.
He could clearly remember his interactions with the old man, as if the latter was still with him. It felt unreal that he had passed away just like that.
“Is this… the path that we have to take as well? Will we have to fight it out to vie for the heavens too?” Zhang Xuan looked at Luo Ruoxin with a sorrowful look on his face.
“I don’t know…” Luo Ruoxin lowered her face, as if trying to escape Zhang Xuan’s eyes.
“You already have an answer deep inside your heart. You are just unwilling to say it out loud. Did you avoid me all this time to avoid getting entangled with me? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to make a move on me at the very end?” Zhang Xuan asked.
“I…” Luo Ruoxin could not answer his question.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan felt as if his heart had shattered apart. He suddenly felt like he had to get out of here.
He turned around and walked away. “Little Chick, let’s go.”
If it was fate that one of them had to die at the hands of the other, he would have preferred this ill-fated romance between them to have never begun in the first place.
“Zhang Xuan…”
Watching his departing back, Luo Ruoxin closed her eyes, and when she finally opened them once more, her vision was already blurry. With a quivering voice, she said, “I’m sorry…”
“You don’t need to apologize to me. This is simply our fate,” Zhang Xuan replied without turning around.
He had persevered all this while in the hopes that he would be able to see her once more. But when he finally met her once more and understood the truth behind everything… Perhaps it would have been better if he had let her go right from the start.
He could not accept that this was the only future that lay ahead of the two of them. If this was the suffering that he had to go through, he would rather not have any emotions.
Pu!
A mouthful of blood spurted from Zhang Xuan’s mouth as his vision darkened a little.
As someone who cultivated the Pathos of Heaven, the desire of wanting to be emotionless was a fatal blow to him. Just the mere thought of it nearly caused his cultivation to collapse.
Weng!
The pendant hanging in around him heated up. A surge of energy flowed into his body and suppressed the chaotic flow of energy within his body.
Zhang Xuan raised his hand to grab the pendant around his neck. He wanted to throw it back to Luo Ruoxin, but at the very last moment, he released his grip, and his hand slackened by his side.
There was no use venting his anger on Luo Ruoxin. It was not her fault that everything had turned out like that.
If she had died in the duel, he would have surely reacted many times worse than he currently was.
From the very start, only one person was going to walk out of the duel alive. It was just that he simply refused to acknowledge this reality.
He slowly turned around to face Luo Ruoxin, only to see that her eyes had reddened completely.
In that moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt deeply apologetic.
All this while, she had been forced to live with the knowledge that such a future lay ahead of them. He could not begin to imagine just how much pressure she must have been under.
The pain that she felt was definitely no less than his.
So, he walked over and embraced her tightly. With a determined voice, he said, “I don’t believe that there’s no way around the War of the Heavens. I’ll definitely find a way for the both of us to survive this, so wait for me.”
All of a sudden, he recalled the words that Kong shi had said.
The latter had mentioned that he had been thinking about this matter all these years, and he had an idea in mind. It was just that he was not certain whether he would succeed.
This meant that they were not completely helpless. There were ways in which they could circumvent this.
They just had to find it!
Putting everything aside, during his time in the Azure, Kong shi’s clone seemed to know of a way to extract the Library of Heaven’s Path from his body.
Though the method would result in his death, was it possible for them to modify it in some way so that he could survive even after extracting the Library of Heaven’s Path?
If they could do it, they would be able to overcome this darned War of the Heavens without the sacrifice of either one of them!
“Is that… possible?” Luo Ruoxin asked weakly.
“Yes, it is possible. It must be possible! I’ll definitely find a way out of this, so trust me,” Zhang Xuan said.
“But what if you can’t find it?” Luo Ruoxin’s voice quivered a little.
With a firm and resolute tone, Zhang Xuan replied, “At the very most, we’ll just die together. Once we are gone, the fragments of the heavens will come together to repair the Firmament, but that will already be none of our business.”
“This…” Hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, Luo Ruoxin was taken aback for a moment before she nodded resolutely. “You’re right. Why should we care that much after we’re dead? We’ll just be together under the same tombstone!”
“Indeed, what’s the worst that could happen? Be it the heavens or fate, nothing will tear us apart anymore…”
“Nothing will tear us apart anymore…”
With reddened eyes, Luo Ruoxin also embraced the young man tightly.
She had been hesitating and worrying all this time. She knew that it was an impossible love, but she simply could not harden her will to forsake it.
But the young man voiced her deepest wishes.
As long as they were together, death was nothing to fear!
Having cast aside all her hesitation, there was nothing holding her back!
Even if the heavens collapse, I’ll be satisfied as long as I’m with you.
Feeling the warmth from the young lady’s body, a poem suddenly surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind.
A pair of lovebirds we shall be in the heavens, a pair of branches we intertwine on earth. Even the heavens and earth are limited by time, but our feelings shall be eternal!
At the same time, the Library of Heaven’s Path jolted, and a cultivation technique manual materialized.
What is there to rejoice about life? What is there to grief about death?
The seas can dry up, and the stones can be ground down, but even if the world were to be obliterated, our feelings will last through time.
Boom!
Above the moon, a great surge of energy rained down upon Zhang Xuan, shrouding him within a surge of energy.
At the same time, red clouds began to congregate around the Firmament, and a massive power poured down. Dark shadows filled the land, and the earth began to tremor. It seemed like something was going to be born.
Zhang Xuan had thought that unless he received a conferment from a God Monarch, he would not be able to overcome his limits as a God King.
Yet, who could have known that he would still be able to tear through the bottleneck ahead of him without any problems?
“This…”
The eyes of the God Monarchs widened in shock at that sight. Fairy Linglong’s body trembled as she exclaimed, “Instead of being conferred by a God Monarch, he is being conferred by the world itself… This is the World Conferment? Does this mean that… there will be yet another Heaven Subjugation Monarch?”
The God Monarchs present in the area turned to look at Zhang Xuan with flabbergasted expressions, and they were not able to speak for a very long time.
