I'm a magnetic field madman

Electric Eye was willing to die for the Way of Heaven, and so was the Lion... But the Way of Heaven absolutely, positively did not want to relive the regrets and failures of the past.

Because no matter how many times it happens, no matter how much invincible power is promised to the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao will only make one choice—

I, Tiandao, would rather die on the battlefield with my brothers than become a lone overlord!

Yes, so when faced with the hellish attack aimed at his younger brother, the Lion, and an attack that would absolutely take the Lion's life, Heaven had already made its choice.

He made a choice he had wanted to make countless times before.

Without hesitation, he rushed forward and stood in front of his younger brother, the Lion, to shield him from the absolutely fatal blow!

"Croak!"

The well-prepared Hell Sword, propelled by its strongest force of 990,000 horsepower, pierced straight through the left chest of the Heavenly Dao under the precise and ruthless strike of Hell. The powerful shark heart was pierced out in an instant, pulsating and leaping on the blade!

The lion that was pushed aside saw his brother, who had been crushed by a hellish blow, and saw the shattered heart at the tip of the sword!

"elder brother!"

Anxiety, regret, and pain! These were the emotions that erupted from the lion at this moment, and it was this intense regret and pain that propelled the lion to charge forward into the rain of swords and save Heaven from the swords of Hell!

And hell, it seems, has no intention of stopping the lion.

Because it was no longer necessary, pierced by his Hellfire Sword, life had already flowed away from the Heavenly Dao.

More importantly, the heart, which has already been damaged to the point of cellular destruction, is beyond repair.

Every cell in that heart had been destroyed by the sword of hell, and even if Oga came, his power would be absolutely unable to repair it.

The Way of Heaven is doomed.

"Cellular recombination!! Big brother, you have to hang in there!!"

The lion embraced Tiandao with a voice that was almost a wail, and he mustered all his strength to try to repair Tiandao's body—however, he could not do it, he could not heal Tiandao's injuries.

Even though his power could stabilize the body of the Heavenly Dao, the shattered heart, no matter how much power the Lion Valley used to repair it, still shattered before his eyes.

The heart of the shark is dead.

72. Lionheart and the Goldfish

"This development is full of surprises."

Bai Wujie's lips curled up as he looked at the result, which had been overturned by Hell, a result in which the Heavenly Dao had died and the Lion had survived alone. He found it very amusing.

He did not regret the death of Tiandao, nor did he intend to go up and save Tiandao as he had saved Guanyue Tong, and then seal him away.

Because Bai Wujie's thoughts and conclusions remain unchanged from seven years ago.

Heaven's will decree that I am not qualified to become the ultimate powerhouse!

He has not yet found his own path, nor has he embarked on his own journey. He created the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, but the Heavenly Martial Killing Path is the path least suited to him. At the end of this path—under the fate of the Overlord God—he will never be able to contend with the Giant Shark.

The Heavenly Dao should take a different path, embarking on a path that is not the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, but one that is absolutely suitable for itself.

But he still couldn't get out of this path.

Those who appear on this battlefield today—Bai Wujie, Hell, and Oga—have all faced their true selves. They have found their true path and way, and their souls are nearly "perfect."

But fate had other plans, and he still lingered on the battlefield from many years ago... His thoughts were still filled with regret for not being able to die alongside Tony the Electric Eye.

How ironic that the person who created the Heavenly Martial Killing Path was actually the least suited to it.

Ultimately, the Heavenly Dao can be the ultimate power, but the Great White Shark will never be.

Because even though Heaven has countless "what ifs"—what if it killed the lion when it broke free, what if it killed the second son after defeating the darkness, what if…

These ideas would never have held true from the beginning, because he is the Way of Heaven, not a great white shark.

His true self is not the monster that roams in his heart and devours emotions, but the true and passionate martial artist's way.

Therefore, if he were to perish here, Bai Wujie would never give Tiandao a chance to become the ultimate powerhouse.

After all, if he cannot overcome this soul-searching problem, then the only way for Heavenly Dao to become the ultimate powerhouse is to "share" with other powerful souls similar to his.

Although this is also a way to become the ultimate powerhouse, if given a choice, Bai Wujie would definitely not create such an incongruous option.

The Heavenly Dao is on the verge of death, and Lan Meng is definitely not going to be happy about it!

"Nonsense—Heavenly Dao, damn it, you useless thing!"

Lan Meng cursed and roared under her breath, for at this moment when Hell was about to annihilate Heaven, it had already cast its gaze upon her!

It was a mocking and teasing look, like a cat playing with a mouse, like an adult watching a child trying to impress, observing his comical performance, and questioning him with their eyes—

What other hilarious performances are there? Bring them on!

Humiliation, Lan Meng felt intense humiliation! It was the trampling of her self-esteem and everything else, the insult of being naked and trampled underfoot by hell!

Of course, more than the humiliation to her personality, Lan Meng was terrified of hell itself.

With that malicious gaze, Lan Meng had no doubt that Hell would take care of him in the next moment!

Indeed, Lan Meng had broken free from the Heavenly Lock that Oga had placed on her with the help of the Dream Creator, and now possessed a powerful strength of 900,000 horses—but in the face of Hell, she would have a hard time even lasting three moves!

Damn it, Oga, you useless thing, why aren't you back yet?

Lan Meng was anxiously urging her older brother... and at that moment, Xiong Shi made a decision that no one had ever thought of.

"Don't waste your energy, brother, I'm already doomed..."

As his body gradually disintegrated into countless fragments, Tiandao felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Looking at the lion struggling to regenerate its cells in an attempt to save itself, he softly said…

Death is a cowardly escape, but Heaven feels peace and release in its heart.

He no longer has to see his brothers die on the battlefield for him, nor is he forced to embark on the so-called path of becoming a hegemon through a tragic choice.

Death might not be such a bad choice after all.

"Shut up, brother!! There must be another way!"

The lion's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, but he could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Dao within his arms crumbled at an alarming rate...

The heart is so important to strong people that they are even more dependent on it than ordinary people.

For most people, the heart is simply the organ that pumps blood throughout the body...

For the strong, the heart is the central hub that directs their powerful energy to their limbs and bones.

Without a heart, the power of a strong person is difficult to control, which means that the stronger the magnetic field, the faster the body of an individual will collapse without proper regulation.

How could the heart of a strong person be easily replaced?

The only thing that can replace the heart of a strong person is their own heart...

The fragile hearts of the weak and the hearts shaped by magnetic force are simply unable to adapt to the power of the strong.

This is an unsolvable problem. Unless one comprehends the mysteries of cells and completely separates power and life from the heart, without the heart, the strong will only face death!

But the lion will never accept such an outcome, never!

His eyes were bloodshot; his elder brother was dying, and his elder brother needed a suitable heart. And none of the powerful figures here could be defeated by him, the Lion.

The lion has never hated its weakness as much as it does now, but howling solves nothing.

But the heart... if we're talking about the heart! There's another one here, there's just one more!

"Big brother, I will never let you die!"

Seeing the weakening aura of the Heavenly Dao before him, the lion let out a thunderous roar, its flushed face becoming incredibly ferocious in that instant!

"Brother, Raven, wait—you can't, you can't do this!!"

Tiandao's eyes narrowed slightly. He had guessed the lion's thoughts from its expression and figured out what the lion was planning to do!

Heaven roared in fury, for it would never allow the lion to do such a thing, nor would it allow its own brother to do such a thing!

But how can a dying person stop a strong person from "self-sacrifice"?

"Big brother! Even though this is just the cowardly heart of a weakling, just accept it!!"

The lion roared, and amidst the fury of Heaven, it plunged itself into its own left chest without hesitation!

A lion won't save a person, nor can it bring a dying person back to life... But for a fool like him, there's one last resort—a heart transplant!!

He used his own heart to fill the void left by his elder brother!

Wow!!

The lion's actions stunned everyone present! Even hell was moved by the lion's deeds!

No matter how he educated his second son, no matter how this dog-like lion trampled on his brotherly feelings—his brotherly love for Tiandao was absolutely sincere!

Because of this sincere brotherhood, hell is simply laying down the knife in one's hand.

"Brother, although I only possess meager power, I hope you can still find it useful!"

Without hesitation, the lion pressed his lion heart into the heart of the Heavenly Dao, and Raven's heart instantly brought the Heavenly Dao back to life!

"This is outrageous! Raven, why did you do this?!"

Tiandao tried desperately to grab Raven's hand, but Raven's body began to shatter in an instant.

It was life force. Raven poured a large amount of his own life force into his heart, just so that this weak "Lion Heart" would have the power to revive the Heavenly Dao!

"Brother, my little brother!"

Heaven desperately tried to save the lion's life, almost wailing in despair... but this time, no matter what he did, he couldn't save the lion.

Just then, a rift opened in the center of the battlefield. Wu Nan, the first man, and the second man flew out in turn.

The conflict between the Bai brothers has ended, but this does not mean the end of the battle, nor does it mean the end of the grudges.

The second son, who had leaped forward, immediately noticed his dying adoptive father. Startled, he rushed over without hesitation...

"Godfather, Godfather, what's wrong?!"

The second son rushed to the lion's side, staring at Raven, whose heart was missing and whose body was shattered, his mouth agape, his face filled with horror...

He couldn't understand why his powerful, domineering, and incomparably mighty godfather would turn into this!

He was even more unable to understand what the second son was feeling at this moment... what exactly was it?

"Big brother, second son... take care..."

There were no more words to say, nor could there be any more to say. The lion was dead, with a relieved smile, having died as a "fragment of the strong."

But when these things fell upon Tiandao and the second son, they felt it, felt their younger brother, their adoptive father, who had not spoken.

Brother, I'm sorry. I was born with a cowardly personality. I placed all my hopes and possibilities on you. I... have never truly been myself.

I shouldn't have forced you to sever ties with me, and I shouldn't have forced you to accompany me on the important tasks of the Lion Club. Deep down, I've always known that you hate all of this.

I am a useless thing. I hate Lanmeng, yet I chose to cooperate with her, just for the sake of some so-called important matter. I did despicable things, nonsensical things, and things that would displease you, my brother.

I know that in my older brother's eyes, I will always just be a younger brother who can't take care of himself.

I can't truly give you everything. I'm filled with selfish desires, trying to change you. I'm not as pure as Tony...

Second son, I'm sorry to you too. You are Junlang's son, my friend's son. I should have taught you properly how to be a person, a decent person.

But I taught you wrong, and stirred up and hurt the relationship between you and Shou Nan and Wu Nan. Hell was right. I respect my brotherhood with my elder brother, but I hurt the brotherhood between you and Shou Nan.

Godfather has wronged you, and I know that you, second son, are working so hard just so as not to disappoint us.

But you don't have to be like that. You should be a good Baek Ci-nan, not someone's adopted son or apprentice. Live for yourself...

If I had the chance again, I might want to be like Wu Nan, someone who wouldn't be blinded by power and who would give everything for family and the world.

Brother... there's no need to avenge me, no need to reignite your killing spirit. I can no longer force you to do things you don't like, or force you down a path you shouldn't have taken.

If you want to kill Hell, do it as the Heavenly Dao, not as the Great White Shark.

I'm not like Tony. Tony longs for you, Big Brother, to dominate the world... but I already know, Big Brother, you've never had any desire for power...

Brother, follow the Way of Heaven, be your true self, not a great white shark. I will no longer force you to pursue the power you don't desire.

If I have the chance in the next life, elder brother, I still want to be your younger brother...

The lion vanished, and the words he hadn't had time to say, the things he couldn't articulate, turned into fragments that swept across the entire battlefield.

The strong could sense that the lion's unfinished words were changing their impression of this despicable and cunning lion—but it was all too late.

Before his death, the lion finally understood the way of heaven and finally understood his own brother.

Bai Wujie raised his head, looking at the fragments that had vanished with the wind, and at the soul of the lion that had vanished with the wind, and showed an expression of respect.
