Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2179

Someone had launched a sneak attack!

Lowering his head, he saw a dense forest beneath him. The massive buildings of Drifting Specter Royal City were less than five li behind him.

In other words, someone had already made a move on him as soon as he left Royal City!

He had not told anyone that he had used the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation to leave, and the only ones who knew about it were Sun Qiang, Qi Ling-er, and the others. To be able to set up an ambush in advance, it seemed like someone had been watching his every move. The Beauty Pill was indeed something that could drive one mad.

The speed at which Zhang Xuan was descending was growing faster and faster. Raising his head, he saw six aerial celestial beasts swooping down from the sky. On each of them was a black-robed man wielding a spear in his hand.

The aerial celestial beast that he was on was killed by the black-robed man.

In the Firmament, those who had yet to reach the God King realm were unable to fly on their own. Even though Zhang Xuan was currently a high-tier God, making him invincible among those beneath the God King realm, it was still impossible for him to fly on his own without using an aerial divine beast.

“It seems like I’ll have to learn how to fly before I finish researching my swordsmanship …”

Given his strength and experience in the Master Teacher Continent and the Azure, it should not have been too difficult for him to learn how to fly. However, he had not had the time to learn how to fly ever since he had reached high-tier Celestial God.

If he did not learn how to fly now, even if he did not die from the fall, he would at least lose half of his fighting prowess. If that were to happen, it would not be easy for him to defeat them.

Boom!

The six black-robed men in the sky thrust their spears toward Zhang Xuan at the same time.

They were actually six pinnacle high-tier Celestial Gods!

Not to mention, they were using their full strength right from the start.

The six spears complemented the speed of the aerial celestial beasts. If Zhang Xuan did not receive them head-on, he would not be able to dodge them.

Even though he felt that his recovery ability had improved significantly after his physical body cultivation, he dared not take the risk.

If he failed, he would really die here.

“There’s no other choice …”

Seeing that the spears and the ground were getting closer and closer to him, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes.

“？？？”

The six black-robed men were dumbfounded by Zhang Xuan’s actions.

Are you giving up just like that?

Why don’t you retaliate a little?

The strategy we prepared in advance was completely useless … it’s going to be awkward!

Paying no heed to their expressions, Zhang Xuan immersed his consciousness into the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn.

Even though time was tight, he still needed at least two more seconds to reach the ground. If converted to the time inside the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, that would be twenty thousand seconds, or five and a half hours!

If it was enough for him to comprehend flying techniques, he might be able to fly.

The reason why he was so confident was due to the battle technique he had learned back on the Master Teacher Continent — Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps!

This battle technique had allowed him to fly easily even when he was still at Transcendent Mortal 1-dan. Now that he was a high-tier Celestial God, he was brimming with energy that was on par with ordinary God Kings. As long as he could modify it to suit his current constitution, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to fly.

With a thought, the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps appeared in the Library of Heaven’s Path.

“Correct!”

All of the cultivation techniques and secret manuals he had seen in the Immortal World fused with it.

A brand new Secret Art appeared in his palm.

With a tap of his finger, knowledge flowed into his mind.

“It seems like the cultivation techniques of the Firmament and the Master Teacher Continent can’t be lumped together …”

He had thought that he would be able to compile a Heaven’s Path Divine Art this way, but from the looks of it, he had been too naive.

The heavens of the two worlds were different, and a cultivator’s body and meridians were two completely different concepts as well.

Thus, he could only modify the Heaven’s Path Divine Art to suit his current constitution.

Zhang Xuan went through the secrets of the Heaven’s Path Divine Art in his mind, and after some time, a new set of Heaven’s Path Divine Art appeared in his mind.

The Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps utilized the strength in one’s body to resist the pull of gravity. While it sounded simple, it was extremely complicated to execute.

If it had been any other time, it would have been difficult for him to fly normally. However, Zhang Xuan had cultivated the Heaven’s Path Divine Art in the past, so he had a deep understanding of it. As such, he was able to execute it with ease.

After driving his strength through his body, the air around him seemed to have come under his control, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

At this time, it was less than ten meters away from the ground!

Seeing that the spear in the sky was still chasing after him, and that it didn’t stop its attack just because he had fallen to the ground, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly. He raised his eyebrows, and an extremely powerful divine might appeared in his eyes. At the same time, a roar came from his throat.

“Moo, moo …”

Heavenly Dragon’s Eight Notes!

Although the True Dragon’s Voice of the Dragon Race was not as effective on other Beast Races as it was on those that contained the Dragon Race’s bloodline, it would still make them tremble in fear.

Although it didn’t last long, they were very close to the ground now. If they made even the slightest mistake, it would be difficult to recover!

After that was done, Zhang Xuan executed the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps and stomped on the back of his right foot with his left foot. With a powerful leap, he slithered across the ground like a loach, dodging the spear lights of the six Sword Saints. In the next instant, he was floating in the sky not too far away.

He dispelled the force of his fall and flew up. The six experts and their mythological beasts, who were in hot pursuit, were not so lucky. Coupled with the dizziness from the Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon, when they came to their senses, they saw that their bodies were less than a meter away from the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Six dull thuds sounded, and the six experts and their mythological beasts crashed heavily into the ground, creating massive craters in the ground.

Zhang Xuan had been controlling the mythological beasts to fly at an altitude of more than two thousand meters. Under the influence of gravity, they were able to move at an incredible speed. On top of that, the six of them were even faster than before. In just a short moment, they were already in a daze.

This was especially so for the six mythological beasts. Their internal organs had ruptured, and if they were not treated in time, they could very well be crippled.

“This is the moment!”

With a cold harrumph, Zhang Xuan’s figure blurred, and in the next moment, he appeared right before one of the young men.

Zhang Xuan tapped his finger forward as a sword.

Puhe!

The sword qi pierced right through the other party’s glabella. Before the other party could even make a sound, he had already breathed his last.

Despite being a high-tier Celestial God as well, he was no match for Zhang Xuan in the first place. On top of that, he was currently in a daze from the fall, so how could he possibly withstand Zhang Xuan’s attack?

In less than a breath’s time, all six of them had been pierced through their glabella, and they had all breathed their last.

After killing all of them, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and took their storage rings and spears.

These spears were high-tier Celestial God artifacts, so they were still of great use to him. As for the storage rings, Zhang Xuan took a look and found that there was quite a bit of money inside. However, there were no more powerful weapons inside.

After taking everything, Zhang Xuan was just about to choose an injured mythological beast to help it recover before continuing on his journey when he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. He instinctively dodged to the side.

Huala!

A burst of sword qi struck the spot where he was standing a moment ago, and the ground was sliced open, forming a massive ravine that spanned several hundred meters.

Under the attack of the sword qi, the resilient rocks beneath him were as fragile as tofu.

Even with his powerful body, he would still sustain severe injuries if he were to come into contact with the sword qi.

With a livid face, Zhang Xuan quickly turned his gaze in the direction where the sword qi had come from, only to see a middle-aged man flying toward him.

“He’s able to fly? A God King?”

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.

After killing six Celestial Gods, the person who was after the Beauty Pill had finally revealed himself. It turned out to be a God King!

Experts of such caliber stood at the very top of the Firmament, and they were revered by countless people. Yet, they actually dared to launch a sneak attack as soon as he left Royal City. It seemed like the other party had really disregarded his identity!

“To be able to fly before reaching the God King realm, kill six of my subordinates effortlessly, and forge incredible pills like the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill … It seems like you’re much more formidable than I thought!”

The middle-aged man stopped thirty meters away from Zhang Xuan.

He had thought that he would be able to deal with an apothecary easily, but who could have thought that the other party would be so powerful as to kill all of his subordinates in the blink of an eye?

“Who are you? Why did you attack me? Aren’t you afraid of offending the Qi Clan? ”

Zhang Xuan asked with narrowed eyes.

He had learned from Qi Ling-er that the Qi Clan was very protective of him, so why was the other party not afraid of them?

“Qi Clan? I do fear them, but all I want is the Breakthrough Pill. It’s not like I’m here to kill you. Besides, they don’t know that I’m here! ”

The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

The Qi Clan had Conferred God Kings, the strongest experts beneath the God Monarchs. Even a God King like him would be worried, but as long as the other party didn’t notice him, he would be fine!

Since he was already on the verge of making a move on the middle-aged man, how could he not consider the power behind the other party?

Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He quickly scanned his surroundings, and his face immediately darkened.

There was a unique formation set up around the forest that concealed the aura of a battle perfectly. He had been too focused on cultivating earlier that he didn’t notice that the aerial celestial beast had brought him in.

In fact, it was very likely that the other party had used some kind of special method to lure the aerial celestial beast over.

“You want the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill’s formulas?”

Zhang Xuan exhaled deeply as he looked at the middle-aged man.

“It sure is easy to talk to smart people!” The middle-aged man chuckled. “Don’t even think about escaping. You might be strong, but you’re still a far cry from a God King!”

“What if I refuse to give it to you?”

Zhang Xuan asked.

“I’ll just kill you! I already know that you have the Qi Clan backing you. Do you think that I’ll let you leave alive if you don’t tell me? ”

The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

Since he knew that Zhang Xuan had a Conferred God King backing him, he knew that this was his first and last assault. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he couldn’t allow the other party to leave, or else he would be in deep trouble.

“It seems like you’re determined to kill me?”

Zhang Xuan didn’t panic at all. Instead, he shook his head and said, “But … What if I refuse to give it to you?”
