Vol 2 Ch 85: Dharma Realm
During this period, Zhang Xuan had been tirelessly earning money, collecting techniques, and cultivating. All of this effort aimed at quickly enhancing his cultivation and strength so he could rescue Kong Shi.
Although he had yet to break through to the next level, the new Heaven's Fate power he had acquired, combined with his prior planning, was enough to create an illusion of strength. With this, he could confidently re-enter the Zouyi Dynasty and ensure his own safety.
Unlike before, when he was burdened with the title of "Chaotic Fate Practitioner," a single misstep could have led to countless Destiny Masters besieging him, following the same disastrous path as Kong Shi.
Even as the lord of a world, the immense power gained from burning his world wasn’t enough to guarantee escape from the coordinated pursuit of the entire Destiny Hall. Though his New World offered a refuge, if his fate were traced, even a sliver of fate energy could spell disaster—not only for himself but for the New World as well, ultimately resulting in widespread destruction and the collapse of the entire universe.
This wasn’t pessimism or idle speculation but cold, hard truth.
The destruction of the Firmament had been a dire example. A single palm had shattered Heaven's Path and divided the Firmament into three sections, likely due to a formidable Destiny Master tracing Nie Yun's fate. The palm contained no fate energy, only common Source Energy, yet it obliterated the Spirit Source Heaven of the Firmament, killing the Deathless Monarch Little Chick on the spot. Countless deities lost their divinity and became aberrant spirits.
The spiritual energy of the entire Firmament dissipated, leaving it to rely on spiritual energy tides for survival. If Zhang Xuan hadn’t later surpassed and mended Heaven's Path, reviving Nie Yun, the Firmament would have eventually collapsed. This collapse would also plunge the Upper Heavens and the Master Teacher Continent into chaos, reducing everything to nothingness.
Thus, facing danger, he could use the New World to hide, but being discovered—even slightly—could cause the world to shatter, leading to his demise.
