Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Wu Potian was familiar with the person before him; his greatest strength wasn't his fists, but his sword art.

A single sword strike could summon a cultivation ordeal; he wanted to see if it could leave a scar upon himself.

"Very well, since that's the case, forgive my offense!"

Knowing the cultivation of the person before him, unmatched in the world, standing at the pinnacle of the present age, Zhang Xuan thought no more, clenched his fists once more, and with the Eternal Heart, twisted all his strength into one.

This was the deadly move he comprehended in the past three days.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys worked as a whole, mobilizing his mind, spirit, and psyche, coordinating with his muscles to unleash the most formidable strength in a short period. Doing so was equivalent to forging his entire body into a supreme weapon, without the slightest defect from inside out.

"This is the initial form of the Immortal Golden Body... interesting!"

Wu Potian's eyes brightened.

The strongest body was the Eternal Golden Body, with the Immortal Golden Body being a tier below!

A physical form of this level unified the fragmented into the whole, allowing easy control over every muscle and organ, refining them into a perfect whole. It took him a full 300 years to initially understand this realm, and another 200 years to fully consolidate it.

His opponent had taken only a scant three days...

Most surprisingly, much of this time was spent warding off misfortune and healing injuries!

This talent... was too extraordinary!

He had always believed that in the path of physical body cultivation techniques, he claimed second place, with none daring to claim first. Now he understood... there are higher mountains and greater threats in the world.

"It's a pity... with a Unique Destiny and the long lifespan of the Eternal Golden Body, as long as I don't die, he can never succeed..."

Wu Potian shook his head, refraining from attacking, waiting for his opponent to accumulate his strength to its peak.

After three breaths, Zhang Xuan's strength was indeed fully amassed, and he charged like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain, vicious and fierce. In his current state, facing a strong figure of Mo Qianji's level, they would struggle to withstand even a single exchange, being torn to pieces instead.

Boom!

Zhang Xuan charged forth, throwing punch after punch, with each punch's wind containing superior sword art. Dozens of punches gathered into a gigantic sword tens of thousands of meters long, cleaving down from the sky.

"Very strong!"

Wu Potian smiled slightly, stretching his fingers forward, making no flamboyant movements. The falling giant sword froze in the air, motionless.

Crack!

The next moment, the giant sword shattered, turning into snowflakes scattered across the sky.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Xuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, once more gazing at the perfectly built, burly man in front with shock and disbelief in his eyes.

With just two fingers, he'd shattered his full-powered sword strike... even though his own Immortal Golden Body had reached the Minor Accomplishment realm, the gap between them was as vast as the heavens.

However, knowing this was the best opportunity to test the highest combat prowess of the Source World, Zhang Xuan did not hold back anymore. With a gentle reach, the space before him twisted, and a war chariot suddenly appeared.

"This..."

Wu Potian was taken aback, then chuckled.

Having just learned of the Xuanyuan War Chariot, the opponent had brought it out; it turns out that this was forged by him.

"No, that's not right... in battles against the Buddha and the Demon Lord, it wasn't used, indicating that... this artifact had just been successfully forged. In other words, can he forge a Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure?"

Realizing this, Wu Potian felt inexplicably amazed.

If his opponent had merely forged an artifact, it wouldn't matter to him, but being able to forge treasures of this level was somewhat terrifying.

It must be known that every Heavenly Destiny Treasure in the Source World has a provenance. Even the most pinnacle blacksmith finds success exceedingly difficult, yet this young man in his twenties had accomplished it...

The most crucial point was achieving this while healing and cultivating at the same time!

In just three short days, not only did he refine his own blood essence, upgrading his physical form to the initial form of the Immortal Golden Body, but he also conveniently forged a Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure...

"No, it's not a new forging but a fusion of multiple artifacts like the Golden Armor War Chariot, Golden Armor Battle Puppet, and the Chengde Sword..."

After the shock, he realized the Xuanyuan War Chariot's origin, even more astonished.

Pure forging, as long as one comprehends Artifact Refining Heavenly Destiny and combines it with opportunity and luck, will ultimately succeed, but... fusing artifacts is like assembling several prideful, opinionated geniuses in one team... none will submit to another. Forget achieving overall strength; they might not even display individual capabilities.

Take the Chengde Sword, for instance; it's the Crown Prince's Sword, august and formidable, commanding authority in all directions. It could lead the Golden Armor Battle Puppet but becoming a subordinate to aid the opponent? Absolutely impossible!

Yet now, these celestial treasures were perfectly integrated without the slightest flaw, an astonishing sight no matter how one looked at it.

"Whether it is perfectly integrated, a test will reveal it!"

With a subtle smile, Wu Potian, no longer calm as before, took an active step forward, spreading his fingers out and launching a strike at the war chariot in front.

His fingers stretched like the heavens, covering The Firmament entirely.

"Just right, I too shall test the strength of this strike!"

With a slight sway, Zhang Xuan slipped into the war chariot, and the Eternal Heart instantly transformed into the chariot's power source, as if an engine had been installed.

Rumble!

The war chariot tore through the shackles of space, appearing instantly before Wu Potian's palm, colliding fiercely with it.

Rip!

The space tore open, surrounding it in streaks of pitch-black spatial rifts. Zhang Xuan only felt a dull pain in his chest as he spewed out another mouthful of blood.

Though within the Xuanyuan War Chariot, Wu Potian's strength was overwhelmingly immense; in merely one exchange, he suffered a significant injury. Moreover, the Xuanyuan War Chariot under his opponent's palm uttered a groaning sound, its previously hard-won integration seemingly on the verge of collapse.

"Too strong..."

Wiping the blood from his lips, Zhang Xuan felt a shiver down his spine.

With his current strength combined with the Xuanyuan War Chariot, he dared to charge even against the Buddha, confident to last a while even if unable to defeat him. Yet now, against Wu Potian, the chariot couldn't withstand even a single palm strike. Not only was he wounded, but the chariot nearly shattered...

Indeed, standing at the pinnacle of the Source World, his power was truly terrifying!

"Forget it, with my current strength, battling against someone of this level is far too ambitious..."

The thought of giving up arose within him, yet just as Zhang Xuan considered retreating, his eyes fell upon the chariot's interior, causing him to pause.

Despite taking a palm strike, causing much of it to become loose, with places seemingly ready to fall apart at any moment, some areas connected by Love Silk grew increasingly firm.

In other words... his opponent's palm, akin to a blacksmith's hammer forging a treasure sword, unexpectedly enhanced the war chariot's integration, elevating the harmonization among the many celestial treasures.
