Chapter 452: Absorbing the world

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

...

Research had shown...

The younger the combatants, the more likely unorthodox fighting techniques would appear. They would bite ears, stomp on toes...

It was common for a fight between two five-year-olds to involve hair pulling. However, you would not expect that in a fight between two men in their twenties.

Their preferred method of fighting was a punch to the temples.

When one was even older, they would only strike when the moment was right. They focused on technique and opportunities.

Canyang...

Being an old demon with eons of experience, he would never think that his opponent would resort to such despicable techniques.

As such, he had not thought of defending some of the more sensitive areas.

That being said, being Canyang, he had great hearing and superhuman reflexes.

Fang Zhengzhi's attack would not succeed.

But it was enough to make Canyang break a sweat.

"Rubbish!" Canyang had never expected that Fang Zhengzhi would be capable of attacking an old man's privates.

The two of them were too close.

At this distance, there was no guarantee that he could block Fang Zhengzhi's attack.

Canyang was not going to risk it.

He chose to dodge it. He bent over and leapt upwards.

As he soared into the air...

He realized that there was something wrong...

He felt Fang Zhengzhi's expression change, almost as if Fang Zhengzhi was smiling...

In fact...

Fang Zhengzhi was smiling. This attack was a feint. He had no intention of attacking Canyang's privates.

He clenched his left hand...

The Vast World was now back in his grasp.

That was the true purpose of that attack.

Stealing a treasure back from the hands of a half sage was something worthy of celebration.

Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.

He had a chance now.

The demons, as well as the joint forces, couldn't help but chuckle too.

Because...

What they had seen was unbelievably strange.

That exclaim of 'rubbish!' had spread to their ears. More importantly, Canyang looked as though he had fallen for the trick.

When he leapt into the air, he had left The Vast World behind.

What the hell just happened?!

"That shameless fella! How dare he..."

All of the demon soldiers were furious. Their hero had just been humiliated by an attempted, despicable attack from their greatest enemy.

The soldiers of the joint forces smiled bitterly. They looked at each other, knowing full well that Fang Zhengzhi had no other choice.

That being said, that tactic was a despicable one...

The only question was...

Was Canyang hit?

"Good move! Shameless fella, great move!" Everyone was speechless, except for one person. Ping Yang's voice cut through the air.

Chi Guyan sighed as she saw Ping Yang's excited expression. She decided to limit Ping Yang's interaction with Fang Zhengzhi...

Ping Yang was much too impressionable.

Fang Zhengzhi was a bad influence.

Yun Qingwu's face was flushed as she looked at the interaction between Ping Yang and Chi Guyan. At that moment, many scenes flashed past in her mind.

Then...

For some reason, she felt pain in her chest.

"Despicable!" Yun Qingwu sputtered. Then, she immediately thought of something as she turned to Canyang, "Master, you..."

She wanted to ask if Canyang was fine...

However, she swallowed her words, realizing that her question would be inappropriate.

"I'm fine!" Canyang could tell that Yun Qingwu was concerned about him. He shook his head but regretted his answer instantly.

That meant that, Fang Zhengzhi's attack...

Had hit!

Even Canyang blushed.

He wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He couldn't possibly announce to the world that Fang Zhengzhi had missed.

That would be utterly...

Embarrassing!

Fang Zhengzhi could not possibly explain either.

Whether that attack had hit was of no importance.

The important thing was that he had The Vast World in his hand. Right now, he had to figure out how to use it.

"The world in your heart will link with the vast world. It will consume the world!"

Just at that moment, a voice resonated through the air. It was extremely moving, almost like a nightingale's song.

Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.

He was utterly floored.

He had never expected Chi Guyan's voice to be this beautiful. Her voice now was like that of an angel.

Since when...

Was she that refined?

Was she using the power in her heart to activate The Vast World?

Would she die if she had said it any other way?

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea why Chi Guyan had adopted that tone, but he did not hesitate.

Canyang's expression changed.

It changed the moment he heard Chi Guyan's voice.

Canyang was not alone.

Yun Qingwu and all the other demons were equally shocked.

"Hum!"

Just at that moment, a loud hum rang out and a column of silver light shot skyward.

It shot to the heavens.

In an instant, the entire night sky was lit up and the stars were completely outshone by this column of light.

The earth shook...

Then, the column of light exploded, sending glimmering spots of light to the ground, almost like it was raining lights.

Dust and sand were sent skyward, the dust storm quickly spreading to the surroundings.

"Uh oh... it's The Vast World!"

"He activated it!"

"Run!"

Many panicked voices began to overlap each other as the demons tried to make a break for it. But it was too late...

Yun Qingwu bit her lip as she watched the lights in the sky, her eyes filled with shock and awe.

"Fang Zhengzhi!" Yun Qingwu's voice was not loud. She was quickly buried under the dust, but everyone could hear the resentment in her voice.

Soon after...

The ground which she was standing on cracked. The cracks began to spread towards the demon army behind her.

All of the Demon Domain Chiefs and Vice Domain Chiefs turned their backs and tried to flee.

However...

They were all consumed by the sandstorm before they could get far.

They screamed...

The demons could no longer maintain their discipline.

They began to run in all directions, but the sandstorm was too quick. There was no place to run.

"The Demons!"

"We cannot be annihilated here!"

The demons had never felt such fear before. They had always thought of themselves as being invincible.

But now...

They were facing the Death God.

There were hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers here, more than 90% of the Blood Shadow City's force. If anything were to happen to them...

How were the demons going to continue to survive?

Xing Yuanguo shuddered as he watched The Vast World devour the demon army.

He was truly excited.

The demon army was all concentrated in one spot. To have their entire force sucked in by The Vast World was a heavy blow.

"Is the war finally about to end?" Xing Yuanguo felt a sense of relief as he looked at the sandstorm.

He looked at the bright spot of light in the midst of the storm. He knew who that person was, and he knew that the person would become the pride of the Great Xia.

Shan Ling was also visibly excited.

He had hoped that Fang Zhengzhi would die 'gloriously', but he also hoped to win the entire war.

If the Southern Region won, then he would be able to negotiate with the Great Xia.

Right now...

Everything was in his favor.

The demons had failed!

In fact, right now he had over a hundred thousand soldiers in his territory...

The world was his oyster!

However, he quickly realized that something was amiss...

After swallowing the demons and Yun Qingwu, the sandstorm showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it flew towards the Iron Hill Settlement.

"Stop!" Shan Ling knew what was happening.

He also knew what would happen after they were consumed by the storm.

But it was too late...

By the time they realized what was happening, the storm had already reached the Iron Hill Settlement.

Shan Ling wanted to curse.

He had never felt such rage in his life.

Just when he thought that he had everything going for him, it all came crashing down. He could not even react in time.

"Fang Zhengzhi!" Shan Ling hollered.

He too could not accept what was happening.

The other Settlement Chiefs, the Southern Region soldiers, as well as the soldiers of the Dragon Protection Squad and Mountain Breaking Army were equally shocked.

"Ah!"

"Run!"

"It's too late, I..."

Their voices reverberated through the air as they were drawn into the sandstorm by an overpowering force.

At the same time, the Iron Hill Settlement's black walls were reduced to dust.

The entire sky darkened.

The stars went dark.

It felt like it was the beginning of a new world.

However, the dust began to settle soon and the cracks started to disappear. The ground began to solidify and vegetation began to grow. The stars also re-appeared in the sky.

The silver glow lit up the ground.

Figures began to appear.

They were the demon soldiers in their black armor, shiny weapons, and heavy bows.

However...

They did not look good.

The walls of the Iron hill Settlement began to form once again. Figures appeared atop the wall, their expressions the same as the demons.

The breeze caressed them all.

The demons, the Dragon Protection Squad, the Mountain Breaking Army, and the Southern Region soldiers were all in the same situation.

None of them moved.

They simply stood quietly in their spots.

In between the settlement and the demons were four figures. One was an old man in a blue robe.

Beside him were Yun Qingwu, Chi Guyan, and Ping Yang.

But...

There was no Fang Zhengzhi.

"Hahaha... The world in your heart will link with the vast world. It will consume the world!" Just at that moment, a thunderous voice cut through the air.

It bordered on maniacal laughter.

Then, there was a question...

"Oh? Why is the Crown Prince here too?"

"Yes! Why am I here? That is a great question!" Shan Ling raised his head and grit his teeth.
