Chapter 456: Crazy
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The only way to describe this tree was...
Thick and huge!
As the tree began to take shape, countless branches also shot out from the ground and into the sky.
This tree was complete with countless branches...
More importantly, there were many large, juicy fruits on the tree. Each fruit glowed in the light.
There were red ones, green ones, blue ones, purple ones...
Complex patterns flowed along the skin of these fruits.
"Kaboom!"
The earth shook, sending rocks flying in all directions.
Everyone was focused on that tree, with its thick branches and large fruits...
"This, what is this?!"
"Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi..."
"It must be! This is the source of his pocket dimension!"
All of them looked at the growing tree in shock...
When they were outside the Icy Monkey Settlement...
Fang Zhengzhi had said that he had hundreds of Daos in his pocket dimension. They were all in disbelief then...
But now...
When faced with the tree in Fang Zhengzhi"s pocket dimension... they couldn"t help but be in awe...
...
Canyang stood in mid-air, his blue robe flapping in the wind...
However, the cracks around his body were beginning to disappear, almost as if there was a wave of force healing the cracks.
He frowned...
No one knew if it was because he sensed the towering tree in the field or if it was because he sensed the cracks disappearing. However, it was clear that Canyang was unhappy.
Then, in the blink of an eye...
The tree appeared in front of Canyang, its vines extending towards him.
"Break!" Canyang hollered.
At the same time, a golden ray of light shot out from his hand, forming a crescent shape as it sliced towards the vine.
"Kacha!" The vine snapped in two...
However, it didn"t melt. Instead, it split into two and fell to the ground with a thunderous crash.
Before long, a second vine shot towards Canyang.
"Break!" He bellowed again.
The vine broke...
But then a third went his way, then a fourth, and a fifth...
By the end, even branches and leaves were attacking Canyang.
The branches and vines were like whips...
The leaves turned into rays of light and shot towards Canyang. It looked as though Canyang was being pummeled by torrential rain.
The golden light intersected with the green light.
It was a crazy, awe-inspiring sight.
"Crazy! This guy has lost his mind!"
Everyone stared at this battle, floored by what they were witnessing. They had never seen something like that before.
"Boom!" A loud explosion echoed through the sky.
Countless rays of golden light morphed into sharp blades and attacked the towering tree. The light rays split the branches and vines into two, causing the leaves to fall to the ground.
Xing Yuanguo looked at the falling branches and leaves, his purplish golden robe dancing in the wind. His expression was complicated - he didn"t know what to think.
"Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi! You... you... what do you want me to do?!" Xing Yuanguo grit his teeth, his lips quivering.
Shan Ling was also looking at the tree but he did not speak. However, his fists were clenched tightly.
The settlement chiefs looked at each other, recognizing the look in each others" eyes.
Nangong Hao"s eyes were glowing too as he subconsciously reached for his sword. He gripped the hilt, then let go, then gripped the hilt again...
He seemed to be making a difficult choice.
Ping Yang stared at the battle with her clear eyes, her expression filled with excitement and worry.
"Sister Yan, what is that guy doing..."
"He had linked his pocket dimension to The Vast World. By doing so, The Vast World is completely linked to him and he would be much stronger. Most importantly, the tree is not something that belongs to all creation!" Chi Guyan"s lips quivered, her gaze conflicted.
"Something that doesn"t belong to all creation?"
"Yes, this is Fang Zhengzhi"s "Source of All Creation". As such, even though Canyang is a Sage, he cannot control Fang Zhengzhi"s "Source of All Creation"!"
"Does that mean that Fang Zhengzhi can win?"
"No, but this is the only way he can fight a Sage... but..."
"But what?"
"Once The Vast World is broken, he, he will..." Chi Guyan clenched her fists. She couldn"t bring herself to continue.
"He will die!" Yun Qingwu"s voice rang out from behind.
"Die?" Ping Yang froze, her eyes filled with fear and shock.
Yun Qingwu nodded but didn"t speak. She looked at the sky. No one knew if she was looking at Canyang or the gigantic tree.
Chi Guyan did not speak either.
She looked at the sky, but her hands continued to move. She seemed to be searching for something on Ping Yang...
...
The battle in the sky continued...
It was intensifying by the minute.
The golden light weaved through the trees, cutting through the branches and leaves.
"Sh*t!" Just at that moment, a voice echoed through the air.
Then, a stream of blood shot through the sky. This was a stark contrast from the white sky.
"Injured?"
"So he can"t stand up to Canyang..."
Everyone looked at the trail of red as feelings of despair and helplessness welled up in their hearts...
As humans...
They wished that Fang Zhengzhi could win.
However...
They knew that even if Fang Zhengzhi linked his pocket dimension with The Vast World, he would not be able to go up against a Sage.
Canyang was a Sage...
The most powerful existence in the world.
The sky whitened and the stars began to disappear. Rays of red appeared on the horizon.
Dawn was breaking...
However, there was a sage that stood in front of the rising sun. This was a power even an army couldn"t go up against.
"Boom!"
Just at that moment, an explosion echoed throughout the field.
At the same time, a gigantic wave of force came cras.h.i.+ng in from afar.
It was a tornado...
It was a humongous green tornado, surrounded by countless green blades.
"F*ck! My! Life!"
There was an explosion of light and an angry voice. This was a deep-seated anger.
That voice was Fang Zhengzhi"s.
Only Fang Zhengzhi would be that cra.s.s.
That being said, when they heard this exclamation, no one thought of berating Fang Zhengzhi. Neither did they think that he was cra.s.s.
Even...
The demon soldiers...
Not a single demon thought that Fang Zhengzhi was out of place. If they were in his position, they would do the same thing...
Even though it wasn"t cla.s.sy.
Canyang "looked" at the branch falling to the ground, his chest heaving with rage.
However, he recovered quickly.
His expression was icy.
In the next moment, he sprang into action. He was inside the tree in the blink of an eye.
"Kacha!" A crisp sound rang out.
Canyang held a red fruit in his hand. That fruit had various patterns glowing on its skin.
"Boom!" An explosion echoed out.
Columns of fire shot skyward, staining the sky red and burning the air around it.
At the same time, Canyang"s hand shuddered and the golden light on his forehead dimmed momentarily. However, it reverted to its glowing state quickly.
Below...
Everyone was looking at the columns of flame.
Everyone had different expressions. Some were in awe, others were in shock, or joy, or sorrow, or even anger.
Everyone knew what Canyang was doing.
They also knew why Canyang was doing this.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I will destroy you today!" Canyang"s voice reverberated throughout the battlefield as his chest heaved.
However, such small details did not catch the eye of anyone.
The reason was that...
He was Canyang, a Sage! The most powerful existence in the world!
After he finished his sentence...
His body turned into a ray of light as he appeared someplace else with two fruits in the vicinity.
Canyang"s hand moved.
He tried to grab the fruits.
However, this time, there was no sound of the fruits being plucked. By the time his hands were in position, the fruits had disappeared.
Canyang"s expression froze.
The others who saw the fruits disappear were also equally shocked. They knew that those were Fruits of Dao.
They grew on the tree.
Since they grew on the tree, how could they move?
That was the question.
Canyang was also confused.
However, his question was answered within moments. There was someone in front of Canyang...
That man was standing on a branch...
He was wearing a blue long-sleeved s.h.i.+rt.
The night had past and dawn was breaking. The sunrise stained Fang Zhengzhi"s s.h.i.+rt with shades of red.
"Fang Zhengzhi!"
"He actually... plucked his own Fruits of Dao?!"
"What is he trying to do?!"
No one could understand Fang Zhengzhi"s actions...
What was he trying to achieve?
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what the others were thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn"t answer them. Even he had no idea what the consequences of what he was about to do were.
But that was his decision.
"I will rather eat it then see it destroyed!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Canyang, his eyes filled with rage and mania.
He opened his mouth...
Then, he swallowed the fruit to the shock and amazement of all the spectators.
At that moment...
The entire world was silent.
Everyone looked at Fang Zhengzhi and the fruit that he was chewing... They couldn"t believe their eyes.
For one, they didn"t know that the fruit could fit in Fang Zhengzhi"s mouth.
But that wasn"t important.
More importantly...
Fang Zhengzhi ate his Fruit of Dao?!
Eating a Fruit of Dao!
No one had ever done that before, and it was something that no one expected to happen!
In order for something like that to happen, someone must be desperate enough to do it...
They had to link their pocket dimensions with a parallel dimension like The Vast World, then have the courage to do such a thing.
No one had done it before.
It was crazy...
Crazy was an understatement.
What did he want to do?
No one had the answer to this question. In fact, no one knew if Fang Zhengzhi had lost his mind.
Then, just at that moment, a soft voice rang out. From the tone of it, the person seemed rather satisfied.
"Oh? It"s quite yummy."
