YM778.TV Chapter 455: F*ck my luck
The night was silent once again. The sounds of killing had all gone.
There was only a ray of golden light in the sky. His light had blocked out all the stars and the moon.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the golden column of light. There were those who were shocked, happy, terrified, and sad...
Of course, there was one other emotion.
That was...
"F*ck my luck!"
This was extremely crass, but Fang Zhengzhi had no other phrase to describe his current emotions.
What did he just see?
What the f*ck was that?
This was a strange world, and he had known this since the day he entered it. It was filled with unbelievable occurrences and unknowns.
However, this was a whole other thing altogether!
An old man who was about to die managed to turn into a young man in his twenties? What the hell was that?
A phoenix rising from the ashes? A butterfly popping out of its cocoon?
More importantly...
What the hell was that screen of golden light?
It had changed everything within moments.
Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t believe that Canyang had managed to change the rules of the world he controlled.
He was completely...
Embarrassed!
Fang Zhengzhi was also furious.
He had rarely been in such control over a situation. He still remembered the time he had held the Traceless Sword in the World of the Sage.
He relished that feeling.
He was in control then.
It was almost as if he was standing at the top of the world, in control of everyone’s lives. He had taken down the Supernatural State Ying Shan with a single strike.
He had felt this way just now...
He was extremely excited when he held The Vast World in his hand. He thought that he was in control...
But...
The excitement did not last long.
Fang Zhengzhi intended to teach the Demons a lesson before taking a break and talking some terms with Shan Ling.
He wanted to confirm the time and date on the delivery of those jewels.
Else...
He would have felt taken advantage of if he fought for them for nothing.
His future was bright.
However, even before he could confirm the deal, Canyang threw a spanner in the works.
More importantly, he felt like he had been spotted.
That’s right...
The moment Canyang shot to the heavens, he felt as though he had been spotted, almost as if he was out in the open for all to see.
This made no sense.
Ordinarily, Fang Zhengzhi’s position should have never been revealed since he was the one controlling The Vast World.
"Down!"
...
"Down!"
Just as Fang Zhengzhi’s voice echoed through the sky, a purple ray of lightning shot towards the golden column of light.
"Boom!" The purple electricity surrounded that golden column of light, enveloping it entirely.
However, the column of light continued to stand strong.
Pointed straight to the heavens...
Everyone was watching in awe as the golden light continued to shoot towards the heavens.
Sage!
This was a state revered by humans and demons alike.
Attaining the Sage State meant unfathomable abilities and powers. This was the pinnacle of power, and it represented an ability to break through anything.
This was the dream of humans and demons alike.
As for the benefits...
One did not have to spell them out.
One point was sufficient. A Sage was in the same league as the Emperor. Even the Emperor, with millions of soldiers at his disposal, or the Demon Lord himself, had to accord a Sage respect.
One Pavilion, Four Sages, 13 Constabularies.
That was a common saying in the Great Xia Empire.
The Pavilion referred to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. It controlled all creation and carried out the wishes of the heavens. The four sages were the most powerful men in the world.
They were on the same level as the empire itself, ahead of the 13 Constabularies.
This was testament to their standing.
Right now, that column of golden light shooting towards the heavens... that light had a name...
Light of the Sage!
No one knew why Canyang would breakthrough all of a sudden.
But one thing was certain.
When Canyang’s forehead lit up, he was already a sage.
"Father, Fang Zhengzhi..." Xing Qingsui clenched his fists in worry as he watched Canyang bathing in the Light of the Sage.
"Aish, heaven’s will..." Xing Yuanguo sighed as he looked at Canyang. He shared Xing Qingsui’s worry, but he couldn’t do anything.
Antagonize a sage?
Definitely not!
As such, he could only wait and grit his teeth!
"Heaven’s will... indeed..." Shan Ling murmured to himself. He couldn’t bring himself to accept this fact...
...
Fang Zhengzhi had a bad feeling when he saw Canyang charge upwards. Even though he had no idea what happened...
He did know one thing...
Canyang’s abilities had increased.
"No way? Another self-destruct?" Fang Zhengzhi sighed. This was not the first time he had encountered this.
Ying Shan had self-destructed in the World of the Sage.
His abilities had increased drastically for the last few moments of his life.
At the entrance to the Icy Monkey Settlement, he encountered yet another demon who had drained his demonic eye.
He never thought he would encounter this again... but he didn’t expect Canyang to engage in such tactics.
That being said...
He found that something was amiss...
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Canyang and the complicated symbol on his forehead. He had his doubts...
Canyang didn’t look like he was about to self-destruct!
Fang Zhengzhi had quite a bit of experience with these self-destructs. Canyang’s current state didn’t have any resemblance to the self-destructs he had experienced before...
The power of the demons was concentrated in their demonic eyes. That was where they drew energy from.
The moment they went into self-destruct mode...
They drained the eye of its energy.
There would be no energy left in the demonic eye. It would turn grey...
But...
What was happening to Canyang looked different.
Canyang was ridiculously strong, and the bulk of his energy was concentrated in the symbol on his forehead. Fang Zhengzhi could sense the energy radiating from the symbol.
"He didn’t self-destruct?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly confused.
He could have understood it if Canyang had self-destructed. But, if he didn’t, how did Canyang become so powerful all of a sudden?
The Vast World was like a completely different dimension.
It was a space that had its own rules.
Fang Zhengzhi had a feeling...
When Canyang was first absorbed into The Vast World, Fang Zhengzhi could feel his presence. However, after the symbol on his head changed...
Fang Zhengzhi felt like Canyang was no longer constrained by The Vast World.
This was not a good feeling.
This meant that Canyang could remove himself from The Vast World at any time.
If he didn’t self-destruct...
And got stronger...
That could only mean...
One thing!
Breakthrough!
"Oh... so it’s a breakthrough..." Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief, then realized something was wrong...
Hang on...
Canyang was a half sage...
A half sage breaking through...
What was that?
"Did he become a Sage?" Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed instantly.
The only way to describe his feelings now was...
F*ck my luck!
...
Canyang continued to rise through the Light of the Sage.
At the same time, the entire ground began to shake as web-like cracks extended in all directions.
As the ground split open, giant rocks were sent skywards.
They flew upwards at incredible speeds.
The rocks began to congregate at a single spot, almost as if a huge mountain was blocking Canyang. Those rocks also blocked out the weak starlight.
"Boom!"
Just like a sword, Canyang went right through the rocks without any sign of slowing down.
The golden light was extremely radiant.
The rocks didn’t split or shatter. They simply melted, just like the black figures before them. They simply melted and disappeared.
Everyone on the ground was watching this happen.
They were shocked, but they expected this. This was the power of the Sage. Nothing could stand in the way of a Sage.
The mountain disappeared and the night was silent.
Canyang finally stopped in mid-air. He looked at his surroundings, his forehead still glowing.
"Break!" He said softly.
The moment he said it, a huge crack formed in front of him.
It was a black crack...
Almost as if space itself was breaking.
The crack was not unexpected. Whenever something was too fast or too powerful for the space to handle, cracks like this would form.
However...
Something needed to be capable of that.
The ability to form such a crack with a single word was rare. Furthermore, after the crack appeared, it showed no signs of disappearing.
Instead, it began to grow, almost as if something was continuing to tear the space open.
If the entire sky was seen as a sheet of glass...
This sheet of glass had just been smashed by a rock. The rock was moving at such speeds that it was impossible for anyone to react.
The dark sky...
More cracks began to appear and spread. The cracks multiplied, swallowing the stars in the sky.
Then the cracks began to join together, forming larger holes, threatening to swallow the entire sky.
...
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to throw The Vast World in his hands to Ping Yang and say, "For you, I’m out!"
To be honest...
When The Vast World had been activated...
He had wondered if Canyang had any other secrets...
He had thought that Canyang may have powerful treasures, or may drain his demonic eye to inflict grave losses.
But he never expected that Canyang would breakthrough.
Did he need to be that ridiculously powerful?
A half sage was powerful enough!
Damn that breakthrough!
Sage!
Fang Zhengzhi was on the verge of crumbling.
He had no idea what to do anymore. If it was possible, he would hand The Vast World off to anyone else.
But it was too late...
He knew that it was too late when the cracks appeared.
The sky had shattered.
The earth was also breaking apart. Dust and rocks shot skywards as trees were split in half.
This was a wreck...
Everything was being destroyed.
Fang Zhengzhi knew what was going to happen next. He also knew that once The Vast World had been broken, he was a dead man...
What was he going to do?
What could he do?
He could not let The Vast World break.
Oh yes...
The Vast World could swallow entire worlds...
Not that...
What came before that?
Yes... he could link up his pocket dimension with it!
"Link up his pocket dimension!"
"Pocket..."
Fang Zhengzhi repeated this to himself. Then, his eyes began to glow.
"Link the pocket dimension with The Vast World!"
A crisp voice rang out through the shattering sky. Everyone heard it clearly.
There was a huge tremor in the ground...
Then...
A huge tree appeared. It was an extremely thick and tall tree, complete with branches, leaves, and fruits.
