Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Destiny-Chapter 408: Ten Directions Bodhi Demon Suppression Rope
“I, the Frost Demon Lord, am an 8-star Destiny Master, a pinnacle cultivator of the Life Sea Realm. I can even vie for the lifespan bestowed by the heavens. I refuse to believe I’ll be subdued by someone merely at the Galaxy 6-dan!”
With a roar of anger, the Essence Pill violently spun, and in a flash, a torrent of Demonic Qi burst forth like flames, exploding in all directions.
Bone Corrosion Demon Barrier!
This was an extremely powerful offensive skill of the Demon Sect, somewhat similar to the Buddhist Sect’s Great Compassionate Mantra. The Demonic Qi that surged from the Essence Pill could not only erode a cultivator’s Origin Energy but also grind away their soul to nothingness.
At this sudden use, not to mention those at the Galaxy Realm, even a strong cultivator like Elder Jiang Li would have to avoid its sharp edge.
“Capture!”
Zhang Xuan, who was floating not too far away, lightly uttered two words.
Whoosh!
The Demonic Qi flames were gathered up as if by an invisible giant net. In the blink of an eye, they were drawn back into the Essence Pill, as if the scene was being rewound.
Struck by this force, the already injured mind of the Frost Demon Lord began to shake, and a dense network of cracks appeared.
“You, you…”
The voice trembled, filled with disbelief.
To compress back the exploded Bone Corrosion Demon Barrier was like reversing an exploded firework… Let alone someone at the Galaxy Realm, even a powerful entity like the Demon Monarch wouldn’t be capable of accomplishing this. Who exactly is this person, and how could he possess such terrifying cultivation?
The most crucial point was, from beginning to end, the other party didn’t even make a move, just spoke a sentence.
“Submit to me, and I will spare your life!”
Ignoring his shock, Zhang Xuan seemed to consider the matter trivial and was utterly indifferent.
“Dream on…”
The Essence Pill, carrying madness and a voice that switched from mixed male and female to a distinctly sharp female pitch, cried out.
Hiss!
A mighty thought surged forth, transforming into a sharp sword in the air, which in the blink of an eye, crossed the spatial distance to appear in front of Zhang Xuan and stabbed toward his brow.
The strongest attack of the Frost Demon Lord, Sky Splitting Kill!
A desperate gamble, using the soul as a sword to pierce through space and erase the opponent’s spirit.
Once this move is fully executed, even the Blue Cloud Venerable might fall directly.
This move, while powerful, has a flaw: using all one’s strength. If the first strike misses, a second attempt at offense would be difficult.
Thinking that with the other side’s ability, they would surely try to dodge, I did not expect them to stand completely still, as if they had not reacted.
With a surge of joy in his heart, the thought-forged sword of the Frost Demon Lord had already viciously struck Zhang Xuan’s brow.
“Break!”
It was at this moment that the other party’s calm voice slowly emerged.
Whoosh!
The sword was a mere millimeter from the eyebrow, but that single millimeter was like an insurmountable chasm that could no longer be crossed. Subsequently, an overwhelmingly powerful force spread from the void, striking the Frost Demon Lord like a hammer, shattering him into a shower of raindrops.
Having already suffered great damage from exploding his body to escape Elder Qingyun’s Life Sea and disrupting the River of Destiny, this forceful shatter dramatically weakened his vigorous spirit, like a venomous snake struck at its vital spot, left with no ability to resist.
“Shall we continue?”
Zhang Xuan, recalling that step, felt an immense pressure as if Emperor Fusheng himself had arrived.
“I concede…”
The somewhat fragmented soul of the Frost Demon Emperor returned to the Essence Pill.
“That’s more like it!”
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, and with a gentle stretch of his palm, the pill filled with demonic qi not far away immediately began to float towards his hand.
Just as it was about to land in his palm, something unexpected occurred.
Innumerable chains appeared out of nowhere, rapidly spreading out to envelop Zhang Xuan entirely.
At this moment, the young man appeared just as the Demon Monarch trapped in the River of Destiny once did, with both his soul and his corpse restrained.
“Hahaha, unexpected, isn’t it? This is the Buddha’s Ten Directions Bodhi Demon Suppressing Rope. Even I could hardly resist it at my prime, let alone you! Die!”
The Frost Demon Lord laughed excitedly.
He had executed the Bone Corrosion Demon Barrier and the Sky Splitting Kill, and even went as far as hurting himself severely, all to prepare for this move.
The Demon Suppressing Rope was not his celestial treasure, it was simply brought along with his Essence Pill in his escape. In principle, he shouldn’t be able to activate it, but his previous two moves had suffused his opponent with demonic qi. Once the Essence Pill got close, it automatically triggered the artifact’s attack.
“Oh, you have a celestial treasure too, not bad, not bad!”
Just as he believed that the other would quickly fall apart under the pressure of the Demon Suppressing Rope, a faint voice sounded.
Boom boom boom boom!
Then, to the Frost Demon Lord’s astonished gaze, the chains that even he couldn’t break free from at his peak began to shatter, bit by bit, turning into streams of pure energy that returned inside the Essence Pill, as forlorn as a puppy that had been hit with a stick.
“Who exactly are you…”
The Frost Demon Lord was truly afraid.
It would be understandable if, after being severely injured, he had less than one-tenth the strength of his prime and couldn’t defeat his opponent. But… this was the Buddha’s Ten Directions Bodhi Demon Suppressing Rope!
Even 9-dan pinnacle cultivators of the Life Sea Realm couldn’t withstand this peerless celestial treasure, yet it was crumbling bit by bit under a single sentence from his opponent…

Seeing it with his own eyes, he still found it incredible.
“Since you won’t submit, I’ll just Forge you. It won’t waste much time…”
Not bothering to reply to his nonsense, Zhang Xuan extended a finger, about to touch the Essence Pill.
“No… I, your lord, submit. I am willing to offer my soul, content to be a subordinate and servant to my lord…”
Knowing that with a flick of his opponent’s finger, his soul would truly be scattered, the Frost Demon Lord no longer dared to hesitate and hurriedly cried out.
This time there was no female voice, only a steady male tone.
Zhang Xuan stopped his finger, and soon saw a pure cluster of intent floating up from the Essence Pill. If he were to Forge it, he could control the other’s soul.
“That’s more like it!”
With a light flick, the intent entered his own mind, and was effortlessly Forged. Suddenly, Zhang Xuan could feel the other’s soul—vast like a mountain.
It’s a good thing this was inside the Library of Heaven’s Path. Had it been outside, even an accidental release of Telekinesis could be insurmountable for him.
After Forging the other’s soul, Zhang Xuan once again captured the Essence Pill in his palm.
It wasn’t large, yet the strength within was as pure as the ocean, boundless.
“So powerful!”
His heart quivered.
If he could Forge the strength within it, his cultivation could easily break through to the Life Sea Realm or even higher!
Lucky for him, this guy had appeared fearing trouble and didn’t directly attack him, instead being coaxed into the Library. Otherwise, no matter how resourceful he was, he wouldn’t stand a chance at victory.
“Master…”
After his soul was Forged by the other, the Frost Demon Lord lost his previous defiance. His soul emerged, bowing with clasped fists.
Zhang Xuan nodded and looked over: “Tell me, who exactly are you, who sent you here to kill me?”
The appearance of this guy was too strange. With so many people on the street, he had singled him out, which seemed like a well-prepared plot.
