Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens - Chapter 586 - : 28: repetition

Chapter 586: Chapter 28: Repetition

Furrowing his brow and concentrating his spirit, he instantly vanished from his original spot, and in the next moment, appeared behind the entire patrol squad.

He didn’t notice anything amiss until he got closer, but upon arriving, he immediately sensed something was off.

The squad in front of him was exactly the one he encountered upon entering this Chaos Origin Domain, identical from the leader down to the members, even their armor, uniforms, and weapons looked just the same as when he first saw them.

During the Flame Sun King’s surprise attack at night, Er Niu not only was killed, but the others were also either dead or wounded, with barely anyone surviving. How could they all suddenly be unharmed?

Previously, he thought whether Er Niu had a twin brother named Big Bull, but it definitely wasn’t the case now.

He was about to detain this group for questioning when he overheard their conversation.

“Tomorrow, we’ll fight the Flame Sun King to the death. Everyone, be extra cautious today, and don’t let them find any loopholes!”

“Don’t worry, boss, we’re all being careful. If those guys dare come, we’ll make sure they never return!”

“Yeah, we’ll definitely beat them until they abandon their armor and weapons…”

“Tomorrow? The Flame Sun King, a battle to death?”

Zhang Xuan was stunned. He looked up into the distance, seeing the sun had somehow risen from the eastern sky, warmly bathing the ground.

“Er Niu!”

With a thought, Er Niu appeared in front of Zhang Xuan as if he had entered a special space; even though others were close by, they didn’t notice anything unusual.

“You, who are you? How do you know my name is Er Niu?”

A look of panic flashed in Er Niu’s eyes.

“You don’t recognize me?” Zhang Xuan showed a hint of confusion.

“I’ve never seen you before, how would I know you?” Er Niu shook his head, feeling this person before him seemed a bit foolish.

Seeing that he truly wasn’t pretending, a flash of enlightenment crossed Zhang Xuan’s mind: “I just heard you all saying there’d be a battle with the Flame Sun King tomorrow, could it be… that the Flame Sun King is still alive?”

“The Flame Sun King is so powerful that not even our Xuanjia King can easily defeat him. It’s really hard to kill him…” Er Niu shook his head.

“It seems like both the Xuanjia King and the Flame Sun King, as well as Er Niu, have already died but have fallen into some kind of special cycle, restarting at daybreak and getting killed by nightfall…”

Zhang Xuan came up with a conjecture in his mind.

This seems to be the most likely scenario currently; otherwise, it’s impossible to explain why all those who clearly died last night are standing here now, hale and hearty.

This also explains why, despite the passage of tens of thousands of years, the Xuanjia King is still only about a hundred years old and hasn’t aged with time.

In truth, that night, they all died, and the so-called fight to the death and ambush was nothing more than a repetitive cycle day after day.

“I’ll know for sure if I ask…”

Knowing that the Er Niu before him had insignificant cultivation and couldn’t figure things out, Zhang Xuan lightly flickered onto the city wall.

“Who goes there?”

As he emerged from the Phantasm Space, a fiery figure appeared before him, and there stood the tall and straight silhouette of the Xuanjia King, appearing timidly before him.

At this moment, the Xuanjia King looked exactly the same as the one he saw last night, emitting a faint arrogance amidst her exquisite beauty, and her eyes filled with vigilance as she looked at him.

“Might I ask this friend from where do you come, and why are you here?”

The Xuanjia King frowned.

“Xuanjia King, we have met last night, do you remember?” Zhang Xuan directly stated.

“Last night?”

The Xuanjia King shook her head: “I ask the friend not to speak frivolously. Although I can’t remember everything, with your level of power, if I had seen you, I certainly wouldn’t forget!”

“As expected!”

Seeing that she indeed didn’t remember anything, and her gaze looked as though she was seeing him for the first time, Zhang Xuan sighed in his heart.

It seems his conjecture was correct; the Heaven Mandate Domain in front of him must contain a circular force, keeping them in a state of perpetual preparation and being killed.

“Perhaps… just solving their cyclical problem can free them from this place and enter the next level of the Nine God Monarchs!”

Since they’re stuck in a repetitive rule, breaking it might end the current scenario and move to the next level.

In other words, helping them resolve the repetition may be the key step.

Realizing this, Zhang Xuan did not hesitate but smiled as he offered, “Since you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet?”

“A bet?”

The Xuanjia King raised her delicate brow: “If you wish to wager with me, you must first prove whether you have such capability or strength!”

As she finished speaking, she flicked her spear swiftly towards him.

Zhang Xuan knew that the reason she was saying so much to him was from apprehension of his strength, and for deeper communication, she must be convinced by his strength, so he said no more, extending a finger and gently flicking.

Buzz!

The Xuanjia King’s swiftly stabbing spear turned into a dragon’s roar and was flicked away, landing violently on the ground not far away, shaking vigorously.

Not expecting this person before her to be so strong, the Xuanjia King’s beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, but instead of panicking, she gave a shout and slapped her hand towards him.

The mighty strength tore through the air, seemingly ready to split the world apart.

Zhang Xuan didn’t move, letting out a gentle breath.

Boom!

All of the Xuanjia King’s techniques vanished in an instant, dissolving like soap bubbles, and she flew backwards, her back crashing heavily into the wall, leaving a large crater.

Struggling to her feet, the Xuanjia King looked again at the young man before her, filled with awe.

“You, you’re an Emperor-level Expert?”

Being able to easily crush her, there was no other possibility but that he had achieved the Emperor Level.

“You could say that,” Zhang Xuan didn’t bother to explain.

The so-called Emperor Level she mentioned refers to the level of notables like Buddhas and Demon Lords outside, and in normal circumstances, his real cultivation hadn’t reached there, but his spirit had touched that level.

Yet even so, in terms of actual combat power, even if there were two Buddhas combined, they wouldn’t be his match.

In other words, while he was not an Emperor-level Expert, he possessed strength more powerful than general emperors.

“Greetings, senior!”

Seeing him admit it, the Xuanjia King didn’t dare say more, cupping her fists and bowing, losing all the demeanor from before.

Strength was revered in any era, especially so in ancient times.

“Senior, if I may ask, how do you wish to wager?”

Knowing the opponent’s strength, she understood it would be easy for him to kill her, yet he chose not to, instead opting to be magnanimous, and thus the Xuanjia King curiously looked over.

“It’s simple. You and the Flame Sun King have agreed on a battle tomorrow, but he will attack tonight!”

Zhang Xuan explained in detail the scene he witnessed last night.

“An ambush? That’s impossible!”

The Xuanjia King shook her head: “I have a territorial dispute, not a mortal enemy, with the Flame Sun King. Having agreed upon the time for battle, there’s no way he’d break it…”

“You don’t believe it?”

Seeing her say so, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but shake his heads.

“The two of us have fought countless battles large and small, and never has he broken his word. I naturally don’t believe in your so-called ambush!” The Xuanjia King shook her head.
