Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2100

“There’s indeed not enough time …”

Seeing that Zhang Xuan had already made up his mind and was about to kill him, Zhang Xuan didn’t panic at all. “Of course there isn’t enough time for me to wait here, but … I can do the same as you. As long as I hide, it’s only a matter of time before I make a breakthrough. Revenge is a dish best served cold!”

“Hide?” Kong Shi’s face darkened. “You want to leave? Not so fast!”

He raised his hand, intending to seal the space around Zhang Xuan.

Hu!

With a smile, Zhang Xuan abruptly vanished from the spot. Wu Chen flicked his wrist and took out an Ethereal Token with a storage ring on it. Weng! He vanished from the spot.

“Folded space? Ethereal Token? You’ll be able to tear apart space and teleport through it, but no matter where you hide, you’ll have to rely on the Ethereal Hall. I’ll be able to find you easily … ”

Kong Shi was stunned for a moment before he nearly burst into laughter.

He had thought that Zhang Xuan would have some kind of unique ability that allowed him to tear apart space and escape, but who could have thought that it would be such a stupid idea?

The Ethereal Hall protected the privacy of cultivators, making it difficult for others to pinpoint their location or even verify their identity. But … who was he? He was the hall master of the Ethereal Hall, the creator of the Ethereal Hall. If Zhang Xuan dared to use the Ethereal Token to teleport away, it would be no different from exposing his identity.

He had thought that as long as Zhang Xuan hid himself, it would be difficult for him to obtain the Library of Heaven’s Path once he achieved a breakthrough to the gods. However, from the looks of it, he could have done so earlier!

At the very most, he would just have to find another location.

“Do you think that you can escape?”

Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly. Ignoring the battle between Gu Zhuiyun and Bai Xuansheng, as well as the lives of those from the Ethereal Hall, he took out an Ethereal Token.

Unlike the others, his Ethereal Token was golden in color. Most likely, it was the Hall Master Token that only the hall master could use.

Zhang Xuan swiped his palm lightly on it, and a brilliant light shone from it.

“You actually went to the headquarters? Very well … You’re really one who refuses to take the easy way out!”

Kong Shi quickly found the storage ring that Zhang Xuan had been teleported to, and he was stunned for a moment before he harrumphed coldly.

Hu!

A mirror appeared before Zhang Xuan’s eyes. The Ethereal Hall Head Token floated above it, and in the blink of an eye, a palace appeared in the mirror.

It was the one hidden in the middle of the Sky-crossing Bridge.

Stepping lightly on the ground with the Evanescent Boots, Zhang Xuan stepped into the mirror and arrived at the entrance of the Ethereal Hall.

“The most dangerous place is also the safest place. It’s not a bad decision for you to come here, but the Ethereal Hall is able to record your location. Since you are already here, there’s no need for you to leave. It just so happens that there’s no heavens shackles here, so it’ll be easier for you to obtain the Library of Heaven’s Path.”

With a faint smile, Kong Shi’s Divine Sense immediately spread out.

In truth, the Ethereal Hall was no more than a massive network. You might have thought that you would be able to freely post on the Ethereal Hall by concealing your name and IP address, but in truth, everything was under surveillance.

As the creator of the Ethereal Hall, Kong Shi wielded the highest authority in the Ethereal Hall. There was no way that anything related to him could be hidden from him.

Earlier, Zhang Xuan had been hidden in the folded space, and he had instructed the adolescent attendant to sell it at the Ethereal Hall. Shortly after, someone purchased it and teleported it over using the Teleportation Formation.

Most likely, Zhang Xuan was in the Ethereal Hall.

This was his base, and it was indeed the best choice for Zhang Xuan to escape without using the Ethereal Hall. However, this was no different from walking right into his trap.

“He’s not here?”

Zhang Xuan swiftly swept through the entire Ethereal Hall with his Divine Sense, but all he saw was a Semi-Divinity realm Serpentine Dragon. He didn’t notice Zhang Xuan at all.

The reason why Zhang Xuan was able to teleport over was probably because he had purchased the Library of Heaven’s Path from the Ethereal Hall. However, there was no time for him to kill the Serpentine Dragon at the moment.

“He’s over there!”

Zhang Xuan scanned the Ethereal Hall with his Divine Sense once more, but there was nothing in the Ethereal Hall at all. Raising his head, he saw a figure climbing up the pillar at the top of the Ethereal Hall using his physical strength.

At this moment, he was already nearing the boundary between the Ethereal Hall and the Ethereal Hall.

“Where do you think you are going?”

With a furious roar, Kong Shi stomped on the ground and flew right toward the figure.

Semi-Divinity realm cultivators had to stick close to the pillar to move around, but those who had reached the God realm would be able to fly.

“Stop!”

While in midair, he sent a palm strike right toward Zhang Xuan.

The young man on the pillar dared not stop at all. He swiftly moved upward, and just as the palm strike was about to land on him, his silhouette suddenly vanished from the spot. He had already passed through the barrier and entered the Ethereal Hall.

“Even if you enter the Ethereal Hall, you won’t be able to escape!”

Kong Shi harrumphed coldly. He stuck close to the pillar and passed through the barrier as well.

As soon as he passed through the barrier, he immediately felt as if the entire world had been flipped upside down. What should have been an upward pillar had suddenly become a downward pillar with no end in sight.

He had been to this place many times before, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with it. Driving his zhenqi, he steadied himself and floated quietly in the air.

Lowering his head, he saw Zhang Xuan hugging the pillar instead. It was hard to tell whether it was because he realized that he wouldn’t be able to escape or because of some other reason, but he had stopped running. Instead, he was hugging the pillar and looking at Zhang Xuan motionlessly.

“I didn’t expect you to catch up to me so quickly …”

Zhang Xuan.

“There are many unexpected things in the world. Since you won’t be able to escape, you should obediently hand over the Library of Heaven’s Path to me!”

Kong Shi roared furiously as he raised his hand to grab Zhang Xuan.

Before his palm could even reach him, the surrounding space had already completely congealed.

“Wait a moment!”

Just as he was about to grab hold of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan suddenly raised his hand.

Instead of retracting his hand, he stopped half a meter away from Zhang Xuan. Kong Shi stared at the young man coldly, waiting to see what other tricks he had up his sleeves.

“What else do you have to say?”

“There’s one more thing I have to say …”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

“Speak!” Kong Shi said.

“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four …”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan began counting.

“？？？”

Kong Shi was stunned.

Was this fellow scared out of his wits?

He thought that Zhang Xuan would have some last words or surrender, but who could have thought that the other party would actually start counting down …

Was there something wrong with his head?

“What are you doing?”

Unable to take it any longer, Zhang Xuan bellowed.

“Nothing much, I’m just counting. Don’t worry …”

Zhang Xuan chuckled softly before continuing, “Three, two, one!”

After counting to the very end, he stretched his back lazily and smiled as radiantly as the sun.

“Alright, I’m done with the preparations. Let’s begin!”

Hong long!

Right after those words were spoken, a deafening explosion echoed in the air. Zhang Xuan suddenly released his grip on the stone pillar, and a deafening rumbling of thunder echoed from his body.

A powerful aura burst into the clouds, threatening to tear the world apart. However, instead of descending, Zhang Xuan simply floated quietly in the air.

Flight!

“Y-you … achieved a breakthrough?”

Hearing those words, Kong shi nearly plummeted from the sky.

He had been cultivating ever since he obtained the Aura of Divinity, and in order to achieve a breakthrough, he had spent nearly a month on it. Even though Zhang Xuan possessed a fragment of the heavens, allowing him to advance swiftly, he would still need at least a day to achieve a breakthrough!

That was also why he didn’t panic when he saw Zhang Xuan escaping.

As long as he could capture Zhang Xuan within a day, he wouldn’t be a threat at all!

But … why did he suddenly become a god?

How long had it been?

From the moment Zhang Xuan devoured the Aura of Divinity until now, it had only been five minutes!

To achieve a breakthrough from a Semi-Divinity realm to a god within five minutes?

Even that person back then wouldn’t have been able to achieve such a feat!

“I don’t believe it!”

Zhang Xuan roared furiously as he charged right at Zhang Xuan.

“It’s already too late …”

Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Zhang Xuan, so he simply flicked his finger.

Peng!

Kong Shi’s palm strike immediately felt as if it had been struck by a bolt of lightning. His body staggered, and he was sent flying.

He flew for several hundred meters before finally coming to a halt. With a pale face, he panted heavily.

Narrowing his eyes, he stared at the young man before him in disbelief.

With just a casual flick of the young man’s hand, not only was his attack destroyed, it had also nearly dissipated the energy in his body!

Even though he was severely injured, the young man’s strength was simply too frightening. Compared to him at his peak, the other party was no weaker!

“Did he really make a breakthrough?”

Kong Shi clenched his fists tightly in disbelief. “So what if you have made a breakthrough? I don’t believe that you’ll be able to fully grasp the power of the gods so quickly!”

The power of the gods was vastly different from that of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator. It would take a very long time for one to fully grasp the power of the gods.

It was impossible for one to wield the full might of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator right away!

Putting aside the others, it took him a month to become a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, but in truth, it had only taken him around twenty days to make a breakthrough. He had spent the remaining ten days to reinforce his cultivation and familiarize himself with the new power before coming out to look for Zhang Xuan.

In other words, it had taken him nearly ten days to reinforce his cultivation and familiarize himself with the new power!

Even if the young man had used some kind of secret art to make a breakthrough in such a short period of time, it wouldn’t be that easy for him to familiarize himself with the new power!

With such a thought in mind, Kong Shi roared furiously and threw a punch right at Zhang Xuan.

Lightning crackled, and the sky darkened.

The might of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator’s attack was indeed extraordinary.

Zhang Xuan raised a finger.

Hu!

Kong Shi’s fist, which was filled with wind and lightning, was blocked by a single finger. It was as if it had struck a wall, unable to advance any further.

“Lie down!”

Zhang Xuan flicked his finger once more.

Peng! Pu!

Kong Shi was sent tumbling for several dozen li before he finally came to a stop. While he was still in midair, blood spurted from his mouth, and his face paled. He had nearly lost his life.

In just a single exchange, he had already sustained far more severe injuries than before.

“How is this possible?”

Kong Shi narrowed his eyes in awe.

In this battle, he realized that not only had the other party’s cultivation reached the level of the gods, he had also reinforced his cultivation, allowing him to wield the power much more smoothly than he could.

In just a few short minutes, the other party had actually managed to make a breakthrough from Semi-Divinity realm to God, and he had even reinforced his cultivation and familiarized himself with the new power!

You … How in the world did you cultivate?

Confusion surfaced in Kong shi’s eyes, and he was at a complete loss as to what to do.
