Gate of God

Chapter 458: The last Fruit of Dao

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Coming out of the Light of the Sage alive...

This was something unfathomable, but Fang Zhengzhi had done it. He was standing on a huge branch, his body covered in blood.

"How painful!" Fang Zhengzhi’s lips twitched. He was being honest, the pain had cut deep to his bones.

He felt like every inch of his body was burning.

Other than pain...

He also felt bloated. All of the energies in his body were swirling around and clashing with each other. He felt as though his body was going to explode.

He wondered if this was the after effects of what he had just done...

"I see!" Canyang’s voice echoed out as the golden light disappeared and morphed into a single figure.

The golden symbol continued to glow on Canyang’s head.

His eyes were lifeless and he was pale. However, in comparison to Fang Zhengzhi, he had fared much better.

At least his blue robe was still intact.

Below...

Countless eyes were fixated on the human and demon in the sky. They were all trying to guess what Canyang meant.

I see?

Could it be...

A thought flashed past the minds of everyone present. When they looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, their gazes were conflicted.

Gone was the shock...

It was replaced with a myriad of feelings, including respect, hurt, joy, amidst others...

"Sister Yan, could it be..." Ping Yang’s lips quivered as she looked at the bloody figure in the sky.

"Yes, he did it!" Chi Guyan replied before Ping Yang could finish her sentence. She was also trembling...

Yun Qingwu did not speak, but she gripped her dress tightly, so much so that her knuckles whitened.

Her dress flapped in the wind.

It was a beautiful sight, but it was strangely tragic as well.

Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fist.

He did not want to die. That was why he resorted to this. He had no idea what the consequences were.

But he knew one thing...

If he didn’t do this, there was only one fate that awaited him. Death.

Canyang would never let him off.

He would fight to the bitter end!

The demons could drain their demonic eye of power to give themselves a boost of energy. Fang Zhengzhi was doing the same thing now.

He did not have a demonic eye...

But...

He had Fruits of Dao.

Each of the fruits on the tree contained a vast amount of energy. As such, he decided to eat them all!

"You may die." Canyang ’looked’ at Fang Zhengzhi, his voice flat and calm.

"Yes, but like you said, it’s only a possibility. Who knows how it would end?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

"Mm, you are correct." Canyang nodded after some hesitation.

Fang Zhengzhi did not speak.

Neither did he wait.

He couldn’t afford to wait.

From the moment he had swallowed that first fruit, he knew that the clock was ticking.

He clenched his fists.

"Bang!"

That was the sonic boom created by his fist flying through the air past the speed of sound.

At the same time, a multitude of colors glowed on his body. The blood on his body clotted and the deep wounds began to heal at a rate that the naked eye could see.

The next moment...

Fang Zhengzhi had arrived in front of Canyang. He punched with all his might, his body bathing in the multi-colored light.

This was an unstable light...

It looked extremely radiant, but each ray of light was tugging at and crashing into each other.

Canyang was not surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s sudden attack. When Fang Zhengzhi raised his fist, Canyang used his right fist to match the attack. He had already calculated Fang Zhengzhi’s speed.

"Boom!"

The golden light was bright.

A domineering wave of force crashed towards Fang Zhengzhi. This was complete domination.

The fists parted.

Then, a figure came crashing down from the sky.

Columns of dust and rock were sent flying skyward.

At the same time, the tree began to shake as countless leaves fell to the ground, exploding as they hit the floor.

"No, the difference in power is too great!"

"No matter how many Fruits of Dao he eats to increase his power, he cannot possibly win."

"Yes... his opponent is a Sage. This isn’t even a fair fight to begin with!"

The Dragon Protection Squad, Mountain Breaking Army, and Southern Region soldiers sighed as they watched the battle unfold.

The difference...

This was domination like they’ve never seen before.

It was something that Fang Zhengzhi could not possibly overcome.

"He’s definitely dead this time..."

The demon soldiers looked at the crater in the ground as well as the trembling tree with joy.

However...

Before they could rejoice.

The ground trembled...

An arm could be seen from the ground. It was bloodied and covered with wounds that cut to the bone.

"Ouch..." A voice could be heard.

Then, his other arm grabbed a rock as he tried to pull himself up. His arm was trembling and it took an immense amount of willpower...

But he did it...

With the help of the rock, he managed to pull himself out of the crater. His eyes were still filled with a myriad of colors, but they were significantly dimmer.

The light around his body had also disappeared.

"He’s not dead yet?!"

The demon soldiers could not believe their eyes when they saw the bloodied figure crawling out. How did Fang Zhengzhi survive a hit like that?

Canyang ’looked’ at Fang Zhengzhi with his lifeless eyes. He was also slightly surprised, but he recovered quickly.

"I never expected his potential to be this great!" Canyang murmured to himself.

As a demon...

He understood what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.

Under normal circumstances, neither humans nor demons could maximize their potential.

However, by draining their source of energy, they could maximize their power for a limited period of time.

The more energy stored in the demonic eye, the greater the boost.

Even though Fang Zhengzhi did not have a demonic eye, he had a pocket dimension and Fruits of Dao. The concept was similar.

Right now...

Fang Zhengzhi’s abilities had already exceeded those of a normal demon who had drained his demonic eye.

Even Canyang was stunned.

As for Fang Zhengzhi...

He did not care about any of this. All he knew was that the explosive power he felt before was disappearing.

It was almost as if he had been emptied.

"It’s gone?" Fang Zhengzhi had no idea if this was a good or bad thing, but when he looked at Canyang bathing in golden light...

He knew...

He had no other choice...

He had to eat more!

Fang Zhengzhi really liked the number 108. It was a number that represented an otherworldly power in his previous world. Even though the number didn’t have any meaning in this world...

He still subconsciously stopped eating at 108.

However, it was clear that the number wasn’t doing anything for him.

F*ck the number!

He’ll eat as much as he could!

Fruits began flying off the tree and into Fang Zhengzhi’s hands.

This was the only advantage he had by being in control of The Vast World.

This was something Fang Zhengzhi took comfort in.

Perhaps combining his pocket dimension with The Vast World wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

"Again?!"

Everyone on the field was stunned when they saw Fang Zhengzhi swallow more fruits.

They were not surprised...

They knew what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do...

However...

They also knew what the consequences were...

Fang Zhengzhi knew the consequences too, but he had no other choice. He was about to be killed!

He had to eat for power!

However, Canyang had no intention of letting Fang Zhengzhi eat any more fruits.

His body turned into a ray of golden light as he shot down from the sky, the symbol on his forehead glowing radiantly.

Canyang was fast...

But there was another ray of light which arrived before him.

This was a ray of light that shot out from the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement. It was not as fast as Canyang, but the person was much nearer.

As such...

It managed to block Canyang’s attack.

"Boom!"

The radiant purple light crashed into the ground after the impact.

However...

The purple light recovered and shot skyward in the blink of an eye.

"Canyang, even if you are a Sage, I must stop you!"

He straightened his back. One of his hand was covered in blood and his purplish golden robe had been shredded. However, he still glared at Canyang.

He showed no signs of backing down.

He was Xing Yuanguo.

"My lord!"

"Charge, save the lord!"

"Buy time for Fang Zhengzhi!"

Their voices rang out as soldiers began leaping onto the battlefield. These were soldiers from the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breakin Army.

Shan Ling clenched his fists.

The settlement chiefs looked at Shan Ling, their faces flushed and their mouths agape.

"Crown Prince, the people of the Great Xia have struck! How can we stand back?!"

"Yes, even Fang Zhengzhi is fighting. Your Highness, please give the order!"

"Your Highness, it is almost daybreak. For the survival of the Southern Region, we must buy time for Fang Zhengzhi!"

The settlement chiefs could not hold back any longer.

"Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi... go, go on! Buy Fang Zhengzhi time. He must be able to finish all the fruits!" Shan Ling grit his teeth.

"Yes, your highness!" The settlement chiefs replied in unison.

...

The soldiers charged out of the Iron Hill Settlement and towards Canyang. They were really like moths to a flame.

"Shameless humans, using their numbers against us! We..."

The Demon Domain Chiefs wanted to respond to the charge, but when they looked at Yun Qingwu...

They hesitated.

However, this hesitation did not last very long...

Because...

They saw the figures in black appear above them. They were descending from the heavens once again.

"Fang Zhengzhi!" The Demon Domain Chiefs knew what these figures were.

They wanted to curse and swear.

But could they?

Actually, they could...

But that wouldn’t solve anything. They would still have to fight the figures with everything they got! That was until Canyang came to their rescue.

The golden light glowed radiantly.

Countless golden spots of light flew towards the figures in black.

However, at the same time, the joint forces were also charging at Canyang. Leading the charge was a ray of purple light...

"Die!"

"Die!"

"..."

The sounds of killing reverberated through the air.

It was an awe-inspiring sight.

Below the battle was a person who was constantly shoving fruit after fruit into his mouth. With each fruit he swallowed, another color was added to the rainbow that enveloped him.

"I’ll eat!" Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed as he gobbled down the fruits.

He knew that Xing Yuanguo and the others were no match for Canyang. They could not hold Canyang off for very long. He had to eat as fast as he could.

He gobbled down the fruits constantly.

Alas...

He was stuck.

The fruit in his hand was different... this fruit was at least 10 times larger than the other fruits he had eaten...
