Chapter 441: To hell with the Heavenly Rebirth Dao
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The light at the end of the tunnel. He had just been thrown a lifeline...
At the very least, that's what Fang Zhengzhi felt like. His heart began to tremble at the thought.
Heavenly Dao...
It was difficult, impossibly difficult.
Fang Zhengzhi would not be able to understand it fully in such a short period of time.
However...
There was no rule that states that he had to understand it all. The Heavenly Dao includes everything in the universe. What did Fang Zhengzhi have to do now?
Break out of his restraints!
As such, he did not need to understand the rules that governed all creation. He only needed to understand the rules that governed the space around him. Canyang had changed the space around him.
Using it to restrain him.
Fang Zhengzhi needed to understand what Canyang had changed and changed his body to match it. That was how he was going to free himself.
"Space, space, bending space..." Fang Zhengzhi repeated to himself. He had hundreds of Daos in his pocket dimension.
He had Daos of constellations, the sun, nature, wind, water, fire, thunder, earth...
Of course...
It also contained the Dao of space.
There were a lot of explanations of space. Space allowed things to exist.
It was the fundamental property that allowed things to be placed in three dimensions.
There were all kinds of spaces. Spaces that contained thoughts, stars, numbers, etc.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not have to think about all those other spaces. He only had to consider what was around him.
What was this space made of?
Air.
Air and space were not the same concept.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was being restrained by air, 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.94% Carbon Dioxide... and 0.032% Nitrogen Oxide.
Okay then...
This was not all. If he thought that the entire space was filled with air, then Fang Zhengzhi would have studied for nothing.
In order for the space to bend and restrain him, Canyang had to change the thickness and add power, pressure, and other complex qualities.
Fang Zhengzhi had to first allow his body to understand the powers and the air around him. Then, he would have to let his body adapt to each quality.
Even though it was difficult and complicated...
It was much better than trying to brute force his way through.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't hesitate any longer. He closed his eyes and allowed his body to feel what was around him. In order to do this, he had to relax.
He had to calm his heart.
Chi Guyan's voice continued to ring out in his ears, calming his heart slowly but surely.
Fang Zhengzhi also began to feel his cells jumping around as they tried to interact with the air around him.
He felt like he was in a lake...
However, this lake was far from calm, with countless whirlpools trying to pull his body in all directions.
But...
Strangely, these whirlpools also created a sense of balance.
As the whirlpool on the right pulled him in that direction, the whirlpool on the left canceled it out. All of the whirlpools canceled each other out...
Countless whirlpools were tugging at his body, keeping him in the same position.
"I see... he isn't bending space. He is simply creating countless whirlpools which cancel each other out but their forces actually immobilize me. In order to do this, he needs to leverage wind and pressure to achieve equilibrium..."
That's it!
He had figured it out!
By constantly feeling his surroundings, Fang Zhengzhi began to understand the rules governing the space around him.
As such...
He had confidence that he would be able to find a way to escape.
...
As the sky darkened, the battle intensified. Under the leadership of Xing Yuanguo, the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army managed to hold their ground.
The bodies were piling up.
The stench of blood filled the air.
As for Chi Guyan, she seemed to have merged with the silver rays of light as they continued to pummel the ground.
"The Xuan Heavenly Dao Body is not easy to defeat..." Canyang 'looked' to the sky, his eyes devoid of light.
He absorbed the silver rays of light as they crashed towards him and Yun Qingwu...
Yun Qingwu wasn't looking at Fang Zhengzhi either. She was looking at the rain of attacks coming from above.
She seemed to be very calm...
However, her eyes glimmered with envy, almost as if something she dreamed about was happening to someone else.
Yun Qingwu...
She was an exiled demon.
She definitely did not have Chi Guyan's talents. Her demeanor and power could not hide the fact that she was merely a Star Conglomerate State cultivator.
To put it bluntly...
She may not even be able to defeat the injured Ping Yang.
How comical was that?
Yun Qingwu was jealous of Chi Guyan's talent.
The Xuan Heavenly Dao Body...
Her talent was extraordinary.
Chi Guyan was the reason why Yun Qingwu had lost out so much at the Icy Monkey Settlement. The Xuan Heavenly Dao Body was the reason why Chi Guyan was that powerful.
The rays of light were getting more intense and dense, almost like a waterfall.
A waterfall of attacks coming from the sky.
The demons looked at the domineering attacks coming from the sky in awe and admiration. Then, they looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi had closed his eyes, almost as if he was asleep.
"He gave up?"
"I'm guessing that he ran out of energy! Hahaha..."
"It is a pity that Chi Guyan's efforts are being wasted on someone like him. Does he have no shame?"
The demons chattered amongst themselves, their gazes moving away from Fang Zhengzhi. Looking at him was a waste of time.
He was a dead man walking.
He did not deserve their attention.
As night fell, there were only two sources of light, the silver waterfall of attacks from Chi Guyan, and the raging battle at the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement.
No one was looking at Fang Zhengzhi...
Even if they were, they may not have noticed it.
It was a very tiny movement. Fang Zhengzhi managed to raise his right thumb just a little.
However, it's movement was quickly stopped.
Then...
Moments later, his index finger moved. It was raised ever so slightly that few would notice.
The battle intensified.
Screams and growls filled the air as soldiers clashed and killed.
Battle meant death, blood, and fire. Countless people had died in the many battles throughout history.
However, battles were also training and opportunities to be accorded great honors.
In every battle, countless warriors will survive the trial by blood and fire and end up stronger because of it.
"Die!"
"We will die with the Southern Region if we have to!"
"Our parents, brothers, and kids are all here! We must not let the demons in!"
Their voices filled the air together with their arrows. These arrows fell to the earth, forming dense patches of spikes.
Blood stained the ground as the fire lit up the black walls.
The sounds of killing grew louder by the second.
It was clear that the defence within the Iron Hill Settlement was being forced back and towards the main gate.
Shan Ling bit his lip, a fresh trail of blood dripping from the edge of his mouth. He knew exactly what the sounds meant.
"Is the Southern Region really going to fall?" Shan Ling wasn't willing to accept this fact.
"Your highness! You should leave! We can still rebuild the nation after this. You have to retreat to the woods where the demons cannot follow!" A voice rang out beside Shan Ling.
"Shut up!" Shan Ling's eyes were bloodshot.
He knew the situation they were in, but he couldn't retreat! He was the Crown Prince of the Southern Region.
"Your highness!"
"Charge with me! If I have to die, I will die here!"
"Yes, sir!"
Blood sprayed skyward, briefly staining the view of the stars red.
Just at that moment, a pair of eyes opened slowly. No one on the battlefield noticed.
However...
That pair of eyes began to survey his surroundings.
He watched the radiant silver light above him and heard the screams of the battle. He looked at the flickering stars in the sky.
"Boom!"
A domineering wave of force exploded outwards, dissipating into the surroundings.
This attracted the attention of many.
"He hasn't given up?"
"He doesn't give up until the very end huh?"
"It doesn't matter, let him struggle. It is useless anyway. Do you really think that he can break the secret of the Heavenly Dao?"
"Hahaha... if he does, the sun will rise from the west."
All of the demons shook their heads in scorn. They were all numb from his previous attempts and didn't think that he would be able to do anything different this time.
Struggle...
Struggling was pointless. His fate would not change.
It was the Heavenly Dao!
Fang Zhengzhi would only be able to escape in his dreams.
None of the demons believed that he could do it. Even the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army didn't believe that he could do it. It was an impossible task.
The wave of power attracted the attention of many.
However, the attention was brief. No one bothered to take a second look, convinced that it was just a fruitless attempt.
The wave of force blew towards Yun Qingwu's dress.
Her dress was blown backwards, but she did not look at Fang Zhengzhi. She continued to focus her attention on the silver waterfall.
Canyang didn't care about the explosion of force either.
As Yun Qingwu's master, he was one of the most respected demons around. Even the Demon Lord would welcome him at the front gate of the Blood Shadow City.
However, Canyang understood one thing.
No matter how powerful or respected he was, he was still a demon, and Yun Qingwu was his master.
He wanted Fang Zhengzhi dead.
From the moment he saw Fang Zhengzhi, he had wanted Fang Zhengzhi dead. However, if Yun Qingwu didn't give the order...
He couldn't kill Fang Zhengzhi.
At least...
Not yet!
Canyang had once lamented his lack of sight. However, after many years, he realized that he may not be able to see the world, but he could feel it.
He could keenly feel the existence of everything around him, as well as their appearance and changes.
As a result, he was able to open the door to something countless others wanted to open.
The Heavenly Rebirth Dao!
"Go f*ck yourself!" A booming voice cut through the air. It was filled with excitement, excitement from breaking finally breaking free.
It was as though a dormant volcano had finally erupted. The heat from this explosion caused the space around all of them to bend ever so slightly.
A breeze blew past...
A blue long sleeved shirt danced in the wind, just like Yun Qingwu's white dress.
