Library of Heaven's Path-Chapter 2215: Little Deathless

Chapter 2215 Little Deathless

The silhouette of the black phoenix flew out of Little Chick’s body and towered before everyone in the sky. Even Spirit God Palace appeared to be small before it.

“That is… the Deathless Monarch?” Zhang Xuan’s body trembled as he looked at Little Chick with a complicated expression.

He had thought of such a possibility before, but he could not help but be shocked witnessing such a sight before him.

It was no wonder the little yellow chick kept mentioning that it was a legendary beast that had ruled over the lands when it was still a gourd. For a very long time, he had thought that the other party was bragging… but to think that it was one of the Nine God Monarchs!

It was no wonder it sensed a feeling of familiarity back in the City of Collapsed Space, and the air of degeneration was completely ineffective on it. In the end, it was actually Little Chick’s city!

To have accepted a God Monarch as his tamed beast…

No, that isn’t right…

All of a sudden, a new thought arose in Zhang Xuan’s mind that caused his body to jolt in shock.

Little Chick is a new will that was born after the death of the Deathless Monarch, which is also why it submitted to me so easily. The black phoenix in the air comes from the previous Deathless Monarch. If he refuses to acknowledge our relationship, I will be in grave danger…

He had not figured out the secrets behind the Deathless Monarch’s resurrection yet, but if one thing was clear, it was apparent that Little Chick’s memories had been sealed, and it did not know a thing.

From the black phoenix’s point of view, it would appear as if he had taken advantage of its weakness to turn it into his tamed beast… Would it go on a rampage for that?

And as if his worst worries were coming true, the massive black phoenix in the sky suddenly turned its eyes toward him.

While it did not attack him, Zhang Xuan could feel an overwhelming pressure weighing down on him. It almost felt as if the sky was collapsing down on him.

Even with his recent breakthroughs in his soul cultivation, he was still completely powerless before such pressure. His body slowly shriveled together as he shuddered weakly in the face of the pressure.

No…

Zhang Xuan hurriedly drove his zhenqi to ward off the pressure, and his bent body slowly straightened up bit by bit again.

“My moniker as the Deathless Monarch doesn’t mean that I have fully transcended death. My soul can dissipate, and my body can die, but in due course, I will rise from ashes and return to life,” the black phoenix said with a voice devoid of feelings.

“In order to protect myself during my resurrection, my body seals off its own memories until my cultivation reaches up to par. Yet, you exploited my weakness to turn me into your tamed beast. Such reprehensible and dishonorable creatures humans are… There’s no one in the world who is worthy of becoming the master of the Deathless Monarch!”

Boom!

As the black phoenix spoke, the space seemed to compress inward, squeezing the air out of the lungs of those present.

Zhang Xuan felt as if he was carrying a massive mountain on his back, and the sheer weight of it caused his spine to bend once more. He felt like he would succumb very soon.

Even the world would be shattered in the face of a God Monarch’s rage.

“That person actually dared to exploit His Sovereignty’s weakness during his resurrection to tame him?”

“How brazen! How could someone think of something as ridiculous as that?”

“Even if His Sovereignty hasn’t regained his strength, he still harnesses the Aura of a God Monarch within him! Isn’t that fellow afraid of suffering the backlash?”

The three Conferred God Kings stared at the young man in disbelief.

The Nine God Monarchs had reached the peak of evolution in the world. Even if the Deathless Monarch was still in his weakened state from his resurrection, his bloodline would still be beyond what any ordinary human could withstand. Just how foolish must that fellow be to have taken the Deathless Monarch as his tamed beast?

More importantly… just how foolish must the will of the resurrected God Monarch be to agree to something like that?

In any case, knowing that this concerned the honor of the Deathless Monarch, they decided to hold their tongues.

“I am Little Chick, not the Deathless Monarch! He’s my master! None of you are allowed to touch him!”

Boom!

Just as Zhang Xuan was reaching his limits, a roar suddenly echoed in the air. The little yellow chick was struggling with all its might to stop the black phoenix.

“You…”

The black phoenix stared at the little yellow chick with a complicated gaze.

No matter what, the other party was still born from him.

How could it possibly be so foolish?

How could a God Monarch acknowledge a mere Celestial God as its master? This was disgraceful!

However, this was a huge problem. If the little yellow chick rejected it, it would not be able to do anything at all.

If things were left to develop as they were, he would be bound to the young man, forced to serve him!

Realizing how dangerous the situation was, the black phoenix forcefully held Little Chick in place as it yelled, “Kill that fellow right now!”

Hearing those words, the three Conferred God Kings immediately got to action. They flitted forth and encircled Zhang Xuan without any hesitation.

They knew clearly where their loyalty lay, and they would not defy the will of their God Monarch.

“How dare you…” Little Chick bared its teeth as it cried out with reddened eyes.

It had not awoken its memories yet, so the feelings it felt were not aligned with those of the black phoenix. To it, the closest kin it had was its master, so there was no way it would allow its master to be killed.

“You and I stem from the same origin. I might just be a mere will, but you are not strong enough to defy me yet…” The black phoenix harrumphed as he sealed the movements of Little Chick tightly.

The black phoenix retained all the memories of the Deathless Monarch, so he knew of the secrets and means that Little Chick possessed. With such knowledge, it was not too difficult for him to restrain it.

Despite being surrounded by three Conferred God Kings who bore hostile intentions toward him, Zhang Xuan did not appear worried in the least. Instead, he looked at them calmly as he said, “This is a personal matter between me and your God Monarch, so I advise you not to get involved in this. If you kill me today, do you think that Little Chick will spare you once it regains its full strength?”

“This…”

The three Conferred God Kings could not help but hesitate upon hearing those words.

The young man was right.

The ‘Deathless Monarch’ that was commanding them was no more than a sliver of the old Deathless Monarch’s will. It was only a matter of time before it dissipated.

On the other hand, Little Chick was the newly resurrected God Monarch!

If they killed Little Chick’s master, once it regained its strength and returned to its throne, it would surely kill the three of them in vengeance!

This was something far greater than they had imagined. Their decision would seal their fates.

“Hurry up and kill him!” the black phoenix bellowed in fury. “Do you think that I will still acknowledge a man as my master after I regain my memories?”

And those words caused the three Conferred God Kings to waver yet again.

They had known the Deathless Monarch for over ten thousand years, and they were familiar with the latter’s temperament. Having been in a lofty position for so long, how could the great Deathless Monarch possibly acknowledge a mere high-tier Celestial God as his master?

This was a joke in itself!

Boom!

The three Conferred God Kings finally made up their minds. They gathered their powers together to form an energy sphere around Zhang Xuan to prevent him from escaping.

Seeing that these three Conferred God Kings were really intent on dealing with him, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Since Little Chick had been curbed by the black phoenix, he could only rely on himself to deal with those three.

While his soul cultivation had reached God King realm pinnacle, his zhenqi cultivation was still at high-tier Celestial God. It would be hard for him to face a Conferred God King face-on, let alone three of them.

“It looks like I can only rely on my golden page once more then…” Zhang Xuan sighed deeply.

There was no other way around this. He could only hope that he could deal with all three of them at once with his golden page.

It was just that there was a problem regarding that…

In order to encircle him, the three Conferred God Kings had taken positions all around him, so if he brought his golden page out to deal with all three of them at once, he would be caught within its attack as well.

He would have to find a way to make the three of them get closer together first…

Tzla!

Just as Zhang Xuan was still thinking about how he could pull that off, a surge of sword qi suddenly flew in his direction. Taken aback, he quickly tilted his body sideways to dodge it, but his robe ended up getting torn in the process of doing so, causing the crimson pendant that Luo Ruoxin had given him to be revealed.

Weng!

The crimson pendant buzzed lightly as it began to heat up once more.

It was at this moment that the black phoenix in the sky saw the crimson pendant.

Shocked beyond words, it released Little Chick as it slowly descended from the sky to stand before Zhang Xuan. Then, it lowered its body and cried out, “Your tamed beast, Little Deathless, pays respects to master…”
