Chapter 220 Competing for Fragments of the Heavens
"You!"
Empyrean Kong wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with ferocity as he pointed to Kong shi in the air: "Whether I have the fate or not isn't for you to say, nor him, only I have the right to say!"
Boom!
Accompanied by a booming sound, the spiritual energy around the prince immediately whipped up like a tornado, before surging down in the next moment, similar to a dam bursting.
With the Origin qi tumultuously churning beneath, everyone around hastily retreated in unison, their faces paling.
Merely absorbing Origin qi forced people to retreat, even without exchanging a single blow; the figure before them was simply too terrifying.
"It's an Origin qi vacuum!"
"How much Origin qi must one absorb to create a vacuum?"
People cried out in shock.
Zhang Xuan looked up, seeing the surrounding Origin qi to have formed a vacuum due to excessive absorption, a situation that was supposed to be an encounter once in ten thousand years for others, yet he often witnessed it.
Because it was the same whenever he practiced.
Boom!
While the crowd was in shock, Empyrean Kong's strength continued to grow stronger, breaking through the shackles of Galaxy 6-dan in the blink of an eye to reach 7-dan, yet showing no sign of stopping and still improving swiftly.
"What kind of power is this?"
"Could it be that Prince Shen Ling is more than just Galaxy 7-dan?"
Everyone realized that something was amiss.
If it was just due to an emotional surge breaking through the limits of Galaxy 6-dan, it should have stopped at 7-dan, but the speed of absorbing spiritual energy didn't decrease at all, indicating that 7-dan was far from his limit.
"Something's not right!"
Zhang Xuan frowned, about to say something when suddenly Empyrean Kong's voice transmission rang in his ear: "He is not Shen Ling, he must be someone else in disguise…"
"Disguise?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Right, if he could disguise as someone else, naturally others could disguise as him too.
The real Prince Shen Ling, he had heard of, was a super genius who rose to fame twenty years ago, unmatched and unparalleled, and though not as advanced as Yan Sansan, was not far behind.
Nevertheless, reaching the peak of Galaxy 6-dan after twenty years was already the limit, and even if by chance he broke through to 7-dan, it shouldn't exceed by much.
But at this moment, the person in front of him was not phased by being at Galaxy 7-dan at all.
"Once he fully recovers his strength, we will all be killed…"
Empyrean Kong, also losing his composure from earlier, made a gesture as though wielding a sword and gently pointed with his finger. A carving knife suddenly appeared out of nowhere, breaking through the air.
He could write with a brush, but he was more proficient with carving using a knife. This celestial treasure was forged after arriving in the Source World and was extremely powerful; appearing abruptly, it transformed into a dark glow and formed a lethal technique in the blink of an eye.
"The Pathos of Heaven Sword Technique!"
Knowing he was right, Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate. The Cold Nether Sword broke through the air, and the Youqing Sword Technique was activated in the blink of an eye, pushed to its limits.
Asking for resources earlier had completely offended him. Once this guy recovered his strength and killed Kong shi to seize the fragments of the heavens, he would certainly kill Zhang Xuan!
The only way to stay alive was to strike first, to attack while crossing the river - to strike the midst of the stream.
"It's too late for you to react now!"
Shen Ling flicked his fingers, a Heavenly Destiny Luo Book appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded, forming a huge Light Film.
Ding ding ding ding!
The sword qi and carving knife landed on it, producing the sound of metal clashing— the Light Film as impenetrable as if it were made of copper walls and iron barriers.

"This amulet's flame is nearly spent. Once it's out, I'll recover my strength, and then... your death is nigh..."
Emperor Shen Ling's eyes were ferocious.
Knowing that the other party was speaking the truth, Zhang Xuan's face turned ashen. Without any further reservation or concealment, he kept thrusting with the sword in his hand, turning countless sword qi into a vast rain of blades.
In the New World, numerous mainlands burned, and the sword qi became sharper and sharper. However, when it landed on the Light Film, it was like raindrops falling on water, stirring up waves of ripples. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
It's useless!
Still useless!
More than a dozen continuous strikes, even a fighter of Galaxy 8-dan might not be able to withstand, yet the Light Film before him did not bear a single mark of damage.
Not only him, Empyrean Kong shi's carving knife also kept falling, and moments later, his face also turned unsightly.
Even if he has inherited the Second-level Heavenly Destiny, it requires time to completely Forge, and before success, his strength wouldn't improve much.
If they can't stop him, as soon as the opponent fully recovers his Strength, even if they obtained Zhou Ji's acknowledgment and the Heavenly Destiny, they will be killed before succeeding.
"He could very well be a Life Sea Realm powerhouse!"
Empyrean Kong shi's telepathic message continued to ring out.
"Life Sea Realm?" Zhang Xuan lifted his head in confusion.
Empyrean Kong shi nodded: "Source Pool Realm, Galaxy Realm, Life Sea Realm, are the three major cultivation realms in the Source World. Anyone at the Life Sea Realm level has broken through Galaxy 9-dan..."
Zhang Xuan's vision darkened.
Against such a powerful foe, even if he burned the entire Suspended Realm along with the New World, he wouldn't stand a chance!
"Second-level Heavenly Destiny is way too powerful. To obtain it, one must sail through numerous tribulations. It's bound to be fraught with various life-threatening challenges, which likely constitute what is known as a human tribulation! In other words, a struggle for the Heavenly Destiny. The stronger the Heavenly Destiny, the fiercer the struggle, a necessary ordeal."
Empyrean Kong shi shook his head.
Zhang Xuan remained silent.
He had read similar books before; the more formidable the Heavenly Destiny, the more contenders there would be. To completely Forge it and successfully cultivate it, one needed even greater opportunities and luck.
That's why, to become a true powerhouse, destiny is of paramount importance.
Without opportunity in one's destiny, no matter how hard one works, it's futile.
If one has opportunity and combines it with hard work, success will follow naturally.
This appearance of Shen Ling, being tied to a struggle for Heavenly Destiny, naturally means his strength wouldn't be as simple as just being at the Galaxy Realm; indeed, he might very well be at the Life Sea Realm.
It's not something Empyrean Kong shi can decide, but a trial within inheriting the Heavenly Destiny, which is inevitable.
"If he really is a Life Sea Realm powerhouse and we let him recover completely, we will have no chance of victory... We must break the Heavenly Destiny Luo Book and slay him before he recovers!"
Empyrean Kong shi said.
"But... this Heavenly Destiny Luo Book is too strong, with our current Strength, we simply can't break through, unless our Strength also breaks through the Galaxy Realm..."
Zhang Xuan bitterly smiled.
He was advancing quite rapidly, but breaking through Galaxy 7-dan wasn't easy, let alone 9-dan!
This meant that charging into the Life Sea Realm in a short period was nearly impossible. Therefore, breaking through the Light Film and killing the opponent almost seemed like a pipe dream.
"Yes... It seems that this Heavenly Destiny is also difficult for me to inherit..."
Empyrean Kong shi shook his head.
He had entered this place two months ago, comprehended the rules, grasped the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, and gained complete recognition from Zhou Ji. If, at the last moment, he can't succeed, it would be a great blow to his stamina.
But this was a necessity; their foundations were simply too weak. Facing a true powerhouse, there was no way to resist.
"No wait... our goal is to kill him; if we can't break through, we just need to find a way to prevent him from recovering his Strength, won't that do it?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Zhang Xuan spoke up.
