Chapter 439: Am I going to die?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi's voice was not loud, almost as if he was murmuring to himself, but Yun Qingwu heard it clearly...

"I will break heaven!"

Break heaven?!

Fang Zhengzhi had said it extremely calmly. Some may not have thought much of it just from his tone...

But...

What he was trying to do was extraordinary!

Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, visibly surprised. She tried her best to suppress her surprise and shock...

But it was to no avail.

"He wants to break Heaven? Is that even possible? That can't be!" Yun Qingwu thought to herself.

Chi Guyan was attacking Yun Qingwu and Canyang from above and heard Fang Zhengzhi's words as well.

However, she did not reply.

She continued to press on with her attacks, almost as if she hadn't heard what Fang Zhengzhi said.

Similarly, Canyang didn't respond. He didn't even bother to 'look' at Fang Zhengzhi. He had a faint smile on his face.

This was not a smile of scorn.

This was his 'encouragement' to someone younger.

Fang Zhengzhi was like a three-year-old setting out to accomplish great things. As a senior, all he could do was smile and encourage his junior.

Canyang was encouraging Fang Zhengzhi right now.

He knew that Fang Zhengzhi was talented, but no amount of talent would allow him to break these restraints at his current stage.

Heaven...

Fang Zhengzhi did not own heaven!

Just because Canyang smiled in 'encouragement' didn't mean that the other demons felt the same way. In fact, the demons behind Yun Qingwu and Canyang couldn't believe their ears.

"Break Heaven? Hahaha... am I mistaken?"

"No, you're not!"

"No matter how crazily arrogant someone is, he should have some form of self-awareness, no? Why is he so ignorant?!"

"Because he wants to break heaven..."

The demons mocked Fang Zhengzhi maniacally. After all, mockery and humiliation were all part and parcel of war.

Furthermore...

Fang Zhengzhi's words were so unbelievable that no demon would have been able to hold back his laughter.

The laughter could be heard throughout the battlefield.

The Dragon Protection Squad, Mountain Breaking Army, and the Southern Region soldiers all heard the mockery and laughter.

Fang Zhengzhi was human. As such, on some level, his words also represented what the humans were trying to do.

All of the members of the joint forces wanted to say something in response, but they found no words.

They couldn't possibly be shouting words of encouragement and telling Fang Zhengzhi that he could definitely break the Heavenly Dao!

That was ridiculous.

If they did so, they would just be embarrassing themselves.

Keep their head down, ignore it, and press on.

That was the only option available to the joint forces. At this point, they had no choice but to tolerate the mockery. Many of them glared at Fang Zhengzhi.

After all...

It was Fang Zhengzhi's shamelessness that had brought this mockery upon them.

The mockery of the demons...

The battle the joint forces were fighting... the happenings around him... Fang Zhengzhi ignored them all.

After hearing what Yun Qingwu had said, he began to think about it.

Concentration!

That was a talent.

That was also a talent which Fang Zhengzhi had, especially when he really wanted to achieve something.

The Heavenly Dao!

Fang Zhengzhi tried to recall everything he could about the Heavenly Dao. He was also trying to recall everything that he had experienced since his attack.

Was his body stuck? Almost as if he had been frozen in space.

What was happening? Was it because the space around him had been changed? Or was it because the space around him was just being bent?

Furthermore...

The blue light above Yun Qingwu's head had successfully defended against his attack as well as Chi Guyan's current onslaught.

His attack had clearly passed through the blue light, but why did his attack end up hitting dirt?

Furthermore, if Yun Qingwu was in a separate dimension, why was her dress still dancing in the wind?

Fang Zhengzhi kept thinking about these questions.

Heavenly Dao!

Was this the power of the Heavenly Rebirth Dao? If this was just a manifestation of it, how powerful was this Dao?

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to understand it.

However, he also knew that this was not going to be easy. He did not know what made it unique, neither did he know where to begin.

How was he going to break it?

"Ah!" Fang Zhengzhi let out a guttural roar as his body began to make sputtering noises.

The Supernatural State allowed him to change the makeup of his body.

After he entered the Supernatural State, Fang Zhengzhi had complete control over his body. Previously, he was only able to control his muscles, but now, he could control his bones as well.

"Break! Damn it, break!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed as rays of light shot out from his body. These were rays of light that were formed because of changes to his cells.

At the same time, earth-shaking waves of force exploded outwards.

If his body was stuck, maybe he could escape by changing his body! That was what Fang Zhengzhi thought...

But...

He was stopped by reality.

No matter how hard he tried, no matter how he changed his muscles and bones, his body continued to be stuck in that position. He couldn't even move a finger.

"It didn't work?" Xing Qingsui looked on disappointedly as he watched wave after wave of force emerge from Fang Zhengzhi's body.

"There's no point. The Heavenly Dao... is too difficult!" Xing Yuanguo shook his head as he noticed Fang Zhengzhi's actions.

As for Nangong Hao, his attention continued to be on the rain of silver light in the sky. He seemed to be contemplating something, his expression changing many times during this time.

As for the demon soldiers...

They couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Struggle! Keep struggling!"

"The humans really have no self-awareness. They know that it's impossible, yet, they insist on trying! Breaking the heavens? I would like to see him try!"

"Break it! We are all waiting to see you break it, hahaha..."

The voices reverberated throughout the battlefield, striking at the hearts of the joint forces.

Yun Qingwu's shocked expression had all but disappeared. Now, she looked rather resigned as she shook her head. It seemed as though she wanted to say something, but decided not to.

However...

She was no longer looking at Fang Zhengzhi. She was looking at the rain of silver light.

Just at that moment, a voice could be heard from within this light. It was a shrill and crisp voice.

"Across all six worlds, the only constant is the rules of nature. Commoners look to the sky, but never understand why the sun rises or sets, or why there are four seasons. Just because they don't understand it doesn't mean that these are not governed by the rules of nature. That is the Heavenly Dao."

"Heavenly Dao?!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the radiant silver light when he heard this voice.

"The Heavenly Dao is not like any of the other Daos. In fact, it is completely separate." The voice rang out once again.

It was Chi Guyan.

Fang Zhengzhi knew this.

So did Yun Qingwu and Canyang. However, they did not show any intention of stopping her.

Because...

Chi Guyan was merely reciting the descriptions found in the "Law of Dao". One still had to break it down.

If people could understand the Heavenly Dao from these lines, then the whole world would be filled with more people who could wield it!

To put it bluntly...

Chi Guyan herself had not even reached that stage. How could she teach Fang Zhengzhi how to? She was merely adding on the hilarity.

"The top talent doesn't seem to be too clever after all."

"It would seem... that we have overestimated Chi Guyan. Despite her Xuan Heavenly Dao Body, she is still too naive!"

"Hahaha... exactly. Does she want to let Fang Zhengzhi understand the Heavenly Dao with just these words? Her naivety is hilarious!"

The demon soldiers burst out in laughter when they heard this. They couldn't believe that Chi Guyan would believe Fang Zhengzhi's words.

"Shameless fella, aren't you usually very powerful? Why are you failing at the crucial moment? You have to break this! It is said that the Heavenly Dao takes away some power from your strengths to strengthen your weaknesses. On the other hand, the other Daos simply have you strengthen what is already powerful!"

Amidst the laughter, yet another crisp voice sliced through the air. At that moment, a radiant red light shot skyward. This revealed Ping Yang's mood.

Anxious, worried.

Even though Ping Yang did not understand the "Law of Dao" as well as Fang Zhengzhi, she was able to say what she knew.

"Anyone who doesn't understand the Heavenly Dao would easily be swayed."

"With the Heavenly Dao, one will win every battle."

"The Heavenly Dao dictates that we sow our seeds in the spring, harvest during autumn, and store it through winter. This is the law of nature."

"The Heavenly Dao awaits at the end of the road."

"..."

Voices continued to pierce through the rain of silver light, completely ignoring the mockery of the demons.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes continued to glimmer.

Every time a voice rang out, his eyes became brighter, almost as if he was engaging in some sort of ritual.

...

In fact, Fang Zhengzhi did have an inexplicable feeling when he heard the voices.

He felt extremely calm...

Almost as if the voices had a special rhythm to them.

They soothed his anxious and troubled heart whilst sending thoughts to his brain.

"Heavenly Dao!"

"Rules?"

"Nature..."

"All creation?!"

"..."

The voices continued to ring out by his ear as phrases and words flashed by in Fang Zhengzhi's mind. It felt as though he was being transported into a calm world.

"Heavenly Dao!"

"Heavenly Dao!"

Fang Zhengzhi kept repeating this to himself. His heart shuddered when he recalled what happened when he attacked Yun Qingwu, as well as his current situation.

He finally thought of something.

The Heavenly Dao was the law of nature, it was a law that all creation had to follow.

In his previous world...

This was known as the law of conservation of energy!

Fang Zhengzhi finally understood it. However, just because he understood it didn't mean that he could do it. For example, everyone knew that the point of a business was profit...

But was every business profitable?

Definitely not.

Different businesses had different profitabilities. It depended on the nature of the business as well as the people in the business.

The Heavenly Dao...

It was using one's body to understand the laws of nature. Then, by replicating these rules, one could interact and change the constituents of nature...

It was a simple concept...

But it was virtually impossible to do.

For example, if you could outrun the wind, then you would not be affected by it.

But, could you possibly be faster than the wind?

The Heavenly Dao...

It was even more difficult than that. One had to merge and combine with the wind. One's bodily makeup would have to be the same as the wind.

To put it plainly, you had to be wind.

Once one understood the Heavenly Dao, one could virtually become anything. One could also use one's body to change one's surroundings.

"Am I really going to die?!" Fang Zhengzhi felt like the situation required him to do the impossible. Did it really need to be that difficult?
