Gate of God

Chapter 678 Life and Death State, Death Lotus

His long, blue shirt moved with the wind, and his black hair danced lightly in the wind. This was both a sudden and shocking scene for all who had witnessed it.

"I thought this guy didn’t enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"

"Even if he’s mastered the Heaven Dao, the highest cultivation he could have reached should be the Rebirth State, right?"

"How dare he provoke Wan Lei?!"

Madness, arrogance, courting death. These were the thoughts running through the minds of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples.

However, this thought never so much as surfaced in the minds of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. After all, they knew better.

Fang Zhengzhi was someone who had dared to pretend to be a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple to mess with the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, and then launched a surprise attack on Third Elder and Fifth Elder, so why would he be afraid of Yin Yang Hall’s First Disciple?

At this moment, Wan Lei stopped in his tracks. Sensing that he was in danger, he subconsciously took two steps back, but he never expected the source of danger would actually be Fang Zhengzhi.

"Take me head-on? Hmph, with your capabilities, that’s simply..." Wan Lei snorted, preparing to continue to remark on how Fang Zhengzhi had overestimated his ability when he suddenly saw a pair of eyes.

It was a pair of extremely bizarre eyes that were crystal clear.

Most importantly, in the pair of clear eyes were one black and one white air whirls, swirling around.

Two Yin Yang Illustrations!

How could that be possible?!

Wan Lei’s expression changed. He simply could not believe that Fang Zhengzhi had mastered the Dao of Yin Yang. Could it be that the one who had mastered the Dao of Yin Yang wasn’t Chi Guyan after all?

He didn’t believe it.

But this was the truth, Fang Zhengzhi had come, he had brazenly, openly made his way to Wan Lei, with the Yin Yang illustration spinning in his eyes.

A punch. It had been a very direct punch.

No frills, no tricks, no technique.

This brazen madness naturally shocked Wan Lei, but it also angered him.

As the First Disciple of Yin Yang Hall, he had a strong Sage State. It was unthinkable that someone of his stature could have been challenged by an outsider who hadn’t even entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and in such a way? How could he tolerate it?

He didn’t hesitate for long.

Despite being injured, Wan Lei didn’t dodge, giving a punch in response.

"Boom!" A loud sound was heard.

Countless pieces of gravel flew, causing dust to cover the place, as a figure swiftly took five steps back.

"Bleh!" Wan Lei spit out a mouthful of blood. He was in disbelief – he really could not believe that he, the First Disciple of Yin Yang Hall, had been forced to retreat.

This was despite the fact that he was injured, and had only 30-40% of his power left.

But the opponent here was someone who had only attained the Rebirth State; someone who had not even entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion. How could he have such a terrifying amount of power?

That punch...

How could it have been so strong?

Wan Lei didn’t understand any of this.

But Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t intending on giving him any time to think about this. In the time that Wan Lei had taken to step back, Fang Zhengzhi had re-appeared in front of Wan Lei.

"I said if you want to take me head-on, take me head-on!" A smile appeared, stretching from corner to corner of Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth. Without waiting for Wan Lei to respond, Fang Zhengzhi gave Wan Lei another strong punch.

"Boom!"

Wan Lei took five steps backward again.

With his face as pale as snow, and a body dyed red with blood, Wan Lei stared at Fang Zhengzhi, who was charging towards him once again, in utter disbelief.

"Impossible! I, Wan Lei, losing to a nobody like you!" Wan Lei’s arrogance meant that he didn’t want to retreat, but he had already been beaten twice.

How could he bear to lose a third time?

Is it because he sucked away my Origin Source? That’s why he became so strong? Wan Lei thought furiously about this and quickly reached a conclusion.

Everything in the world had their strengths and weaknesses.

For instance, Yan Qing was an anomaly, who had an absolute advantage in terms of physical strength.

Wan Lei was furious, but he wasn’t stupid. On the converse, he remained very calm. Even in a bad situation, he was could still quickly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of his opponent and himself.

If he couldn’t win Fang Zhengzhi in terms of strength, then he’d use experience and the Dao of All Creation.

In moments, he had changed his strategy.

He dodged Fang Zhengzhi’s third punch, and a flame appeared on his forehead. It was a black flame, split into six, like six flower petals.

"Rascal, do you know what the epitome of the Dao of Yin Yang looks like?" As he spoke, a black flame rose from his hands.

It was condensed like a real flame, split into six, like a lotus that has not yet bloomed.

"Isn’t it life and death?" Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips, a look of disdain on his face.

"What?!" Wan Lei looked like he had been struck by lightning, his face stiff as a board. The feeling of someone else accurately guessing what one’s next words are simply wasn’t pleasant.

"Yin Yang produces the two polarities, which produce life and death." Fang Zhengzhi didn’t spend too long explaining the concept to Wan Lei as he moved his palm, causing a similar black flame to rise from his palms.

"..." Wan Lei stared in shock.

He wasn’t the only one - even the Heaven Dao Pavilion and Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were staring in shock, expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Is he a demon?"

"How is this possible?!"

"It’s the same Life-Death Dao of Yin Yang as Wan Lei!"

No one could comprehend how such a strange thing had happened.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples in particular, who had seen Fang Zhengzhi unleash his Heaven Dao and Near-Life Dao, were shell-shocked.

And now...

The Dao of Yin Yang had entered the realm of life and death.

"How could he master all three of the Great Daos? How could such a demon exist in this world?!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples found this all very hard to accept.

After all, they were the cream of the crop from various lands and nations. Their pride had been completely shattered by Fang Zhengzhi.

It wasn’t just the Heaven Dao Pavilion and Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples who were shocked.

Mu Qingfeng, the Heaven Dao Pavilion Sage State disciples, even Fu Xi Valley Elder Gu Yuan, who was standing nearby, were unable to hide their shocked expressions.

As for the one who was the most shocked...

It was Tian Xing.

"Exactly what kind of demon is this rascal? His Small Dimension had been destroyed, and he can still use the Heaven Dao? He has even mastered the Yin Yang Life-Death State? Why is he like this? Could it be that this guy’s heart is on the right?" Tian Xing clenched his fists tightly, a cold stare in his eyes.

"Rascal, what exactly are you?" Wan Lei really didn’t want to ask this question, because he had always felt that Fang Zhengzhi was a dead man walking, what good was there in asking a dead man questions?

But now...

He really wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I answered your question just now, shouldn’t you answer my question now?" Fang Zhengzhi clearly had no interest in explaining his identity to Wan Lei.

"What do you mean?" Wan Lei asked subconsciously.

"If the epitome of the Dao of Yin Yang is the Yin Yang Life-Death State, then do you know what the epitome of the Near-Life Dao is?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.

"The Near-Life Dao?" Wan Lei showed a hint of surprise, as he did not know why Fang Zhengzhi was asking this question. However, as Fang Zhengzhi had said, Fang Zhengzhi had answered his previous question on the epitome of the Dao of Yin Yang, so he naturally could not be seen to be weaker. "Are you trying to test me? The epitome of the Near-Life Dao is, naturally, the Hell Near-Life Chains, which can lock the six senses!"

"Alright, then do it." Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head ever so slightly.

"Do? Do what?" Wan Lei looked lost.

"Obviously, I mean to use it, like how I used the Yin Yang Life-Death State." The corners of Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth curled, and he stared at Wan Lei like a fool.

"Use it? Rascal, don’t you know that the Near-Life Dao is one of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques, and one of the Great Daos like the Dao of Yin Yang? From what I know, no one in this world can master both of these Daos at the same time!"

"What if someone could?"

"Rascal, I’m not stupid!" Wan Lei laughed mockingly.

Hearing this, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples’ expressions turned very weird. They stared at Wan Lei, seemingly trying to tell him that he was being extremely foolish.

This naturally caused Wan Lei a great deal of discomfort.

"What do you mean, you can do that?!" Wan Lei felt ominous after receiving the strange stares from those around him.

"No, I can’t." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

"Well then, what do you mean by that..." Wan Lei was cut off by a freezing cold breeze that rose behind him.

In the next moment, he felt a piercing pain from his feet, as if he had lost control of his right leg.

Then, a flash of red light appeared before his eyes.

That was a chain, a blood red chain, that had rushed out from the ground, which had pierced through his feet, which was on the ground.

And then...

A second chain appeared, then a third, a fourth...

Wan Lei was stunned.

Not only was he stunned, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples and Fu Xi Valley Elder Gu Yuan, even Nine Pinnacles Mountain Leader Tian Xing all stood with wide eyes.

"This is... the Hell Near-Life Chains?!"

"He, he actually masted the Near-Life Dao?"

"How could this be?!"

The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples simply could not believe it.

As for the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, they were rendered speechless. Yes, they had once refused to believe it as well, but now, they could not do that anymore.

The Fang Zhengzhi before their eyes truly was a demon who had mastered three of the Great Daos: the Heaven Dao, the Near-Life Dao and the Dao of Yin Yang.

No one else in the Holy Region could do this!

"Crack!" Wan Lei’s arm was once against pierced by a green chain, causing his entire body to twist, and he almost fell to the ground.

"No, this is impossible!" Wan Lei’s eyes were filled with disbelief, but the cruel truth was right before his eyes. The feeling of being pierced was crystal clear as it cut into his bone, and he simply had to believe.

The Near-Life Dao!

This guy really mastered the Near-Life Dao?!

Idiot...

I really am an idiot!

Wan Lei didn’t hesitate any longer, because the third chain had already made its way to his other arm, if this arm was pierced, he would truly be in a dire situation.

"Life and death state, death lotus, open!" As Wan Lei called out, the black flame on his hand that had yet to blossom now burned brightly.

The six petal-like flames swirled quickly, creating a vibration that shook of the third Hell Near-Life Chain, while the other two chains which had already pierced his body were cut.

"Poof!" A huge vibration, as Wan Lei spit another mouthful of blood, but he didn’t dare to stay where he was, and he retreated very quickly.

"Life and death state, death lotus, open!" At this moment, a voice almost identical to Wan Lei was heard, and another Death Lotus appeared in front of Wan Lei.

"What?!" Wan Lei wanted to retreat further, but it was already too late.

This Deah Lotus had grown out of a smudge of blue light, and he who was controlling this Death Lotus was smiling.

At this moment, Wan Lei finally started to understand what Fang Zhengzhi had meant when he said, "plot against you? That’s too easy, I want to take you head-on!".

Of course...

If he had not been injured.

Even if Fang Zhengzhi had mastered the three Great Daos, Heaven Dao, Near-Life Dao and the Dao of Yin Yang, he would not be afraid, but the reality was that he was injured.

"Boom!"

Black flames flew everywhere, and a huge black flame tornado wrapped itself around Wan Lei, burning his clothes, and then his hair and skin.

"Sizzle!" sounds could be heard from his body.

Wan Lei now looked rather hideous and savage, but he also seemed to be sneering, sneering from his bones.

That’s right.

Wan Lei was sneering.

He was sneering very loudly.

"Reverse the flow of Yin and Yang!" Wan Lei bellowed lightly, and then a strange scene appeared, as the black flame that was burning his body entered Wan Lei’s body, as if by some strange command, and disappeared.

He was the great First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall.

How could he lose to Fang Zhengzhi?

He had been waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables.

In fact, when the Death Lotus had risen in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand, he had already planned all of this, and now, it had gone according to plan.

"Die!" Wan Lei’s expression was ice cold, as he forcefully absorbed the Death Lotus into his body, which would result in a loss on both sides.

However, he no longer cared.

Even if he were to sustain huge injuries, and not be able to use any Origin Source in two years, he had to make Fang Zhengzhi pay for what he had done today.

"Boom!" Black flames rose to the sky, violently swirling around, turning the white jade gravel below Wan Lei’s feet into powder.

How could the First Disciple of Yin Yang hall be so weak?

He wanted Fang Zhengzhi to die because only if he was dead could Wan Lei regain his dignity, and all the blame could be shifted onto Fang Zhengzhi.

This was what Wan Lei thought.

However, this thought did not stay for long, because a sword appeared in his line of vision. It was a mediocre sword, not impressive or grand in any way.

"Shiii!" The sword pierced through the chest, as blood spurted everywhere.

"If you want to die, then I shall kill you!" Wan Lei heard a voice as clear as a nightingale near his ear. It was a lovely voice, but a very cold one at the same time, as cold as the sword that had pierced through his chest.
