Jie Wenzhan stared in amazement at Ye Chenfeng beside him, feeling Ye Chenfeng’s aura gradually strengthening, his Spiritual Power within him surging wildly.
Is this enlightenment?
Enlightenment of what path?
The Heartless Path mentioned by the City Lord earlier?
The unease in Jie Wenzhan’s heart expanded; Ye Chenfeng was about to achieve enlightenment at this moment?
Jie Wenzhan wanted to call out to Tianmiao, for he felt that the path Ye Chenfeng was realizing was definitely not the righteous path. This feeling perhaps came from his inner intuition.
However, in the next moment, change had already occurred on the high platform!
The City Lord laughed a few times, soared into the air, and threw open the book from his chest, directly releasing the already condensed Demonic Qi from his Dantian, enveloping the entire valley.
Thunderous sounds were heard, dark clouds gathered above the valley, rolling and surging, covering the sky and sun, plunging the entire city into darkness!
The City Lord had been completely devoured by the uncontrollable Demonic Qi within him. As he looked at the city beneath him, his eyes were filled with the greed of a beast hunting prey. He raised the Longsword in his hand, and the dark clouds above were slowly gathering, gradually solidifying with him as the center.
The massive Demonic Qi slowly pressed downwards, causing the entire city to simultaneously collapse, he planned to bury the entire city completely!
The City Lord’s eyes seemed to fill with a few strands of madness, he floated in mid-air, shouting loudly: "You have benefited from me for so long, and had a fate connection with me, now all emotions must be severed to aid my path, townspeople should have no regrets, this is your honor."
"I walk the Heartless Path!" The City Lord’s voice echoed across the heavens, deafening.
The entire city began to shake violently, then the whole ground started to collapse slowly. The townspeople ran to escape for their lives, but found they couldn’t get away from this square.
The terrified cries and screams of the townspeople filled the air, no one had anticipated such an astonishing change.
Ye Chenfeng at this moment seemed completely immersed in his own world. His eyes faintly glowed red, a domineering aura surged within him, countless strong forces clamored inside him, seemingly about to burst forth.
Jie Wenzhan, anxiously looking at Ye Chenfeng, called out: "Senior brother! Senior brother! Wake up!" Jie Wenzhan again anxiously looked towards Tianmiao, but saw that Tianmiao still calmly looked at the floating City Lord.
Seeing Tianmiao’s serene face, for some unknown reason, Jie Wenzhan’s anxious heart suddenly calmed down at that moment.
In the next moment, Tianmiao disappeared from her place, appearing behind the City Lord.
Then, Tianmiao kicked down the previously arrogant City Lord, with one foot stepping on his head, directly stamping him from mid-air onto the high platform below, causing a resounding crash, as billowing dust rose.
Ye Chenfeng was startled awake by this change, looking blankly at Tianmiao not far away.
Tianmiao stood with her foot on the City Lord’s head, sneering with contempt.
Her voice resonated in the next moment. A clear and ethereal yet domineering voice.
"Ridiculous."
"This is not the Heartless Path."
"It’s the Path of Idiocy."
Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan stared in a daze at Tianmiao standing aloft, her sneer full of disdain for the world, yet with a gentle empathy for all beings.
Then, the two heard the words that would be etched in their hearts for a lifetime.
"The true Heartless Path transcends all things, yet harbors all beings."
"Great love, heartlessness!"
Great love, heartlessness—
Great love, heartlessness—!!!
Great love, heartlessness?
The red glow in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes faded, quietly looking at Tianmiao standing not far away.
Then he slowly closed his eyes.
His whole being, immersed in a wondrous melody.
