593 Mother (1/2)

The moonlight was bright and the night breeze was cool. The seven-colored light had faded completely, but the six-colored glow lit up once again. Although it wasn't as radiant as the seven-colored light, it still embodied a certain spellbinding strangeness.

”The Near-Life Dao!”

”Fang Zhengzhi actually knows the Near-Life Dao?!”

”That's impossible!”

Countless Northern Barbarian soldiers gazed up at this all too familiar sight. They all watched in awe as Fang Zhangzhi appeared with the Near-Life Gate, but they refused to believe that Fang Zhengzhi was actually capable of controlling the Near-Life Dao.

The Near-Life Dao! The symbol of the Holy Barbarian Empire!

Why can Fang Zhengzhi comprehend the Near-Life Path's profundities?

The Northern Barbarian Army were in complete denial.

”Is that really the Near-Life Dao of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques?!”

”Has Fang Zhengzhi reached the Rebirth State?”

”No, didn't I hear that he's only in the Supernatural State?”

The Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Yunqi were both astounded. They witnessed the scene where Fang Zhengzhi emerged with the Near-Life Gate very clearly, but when they saw him demonstrating the Near-Life Dao …

It just felt different somehow!

”That brat, what kind of a monster is he? He even learnt the Near-Life Dao of the Holy Barbarian Empire?” Xing Yuanguo was already mentally prepared for this situation, but he still jumped when he witnessed the six-colored characters with his own eyes.

He knew all along that Fang Zhengzhi's learning abilities were superb. Fang Zhengzhi mastered everything from the battle style of the Stabilization Constabulary to the secret Million Sword Illustration of the Divine Constabulary. Hence, Fang Zhengzhi's ability to pick up new techniques or mimic those of others should not be too shocking.

Even so … the Near-Life Dao technique was different.

It's one of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques. Mastering the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques is not easy, it requires the perfect combination of time, space, people, and various other elements, just like the Dao of Asura of the Yan Family.

Ever since the ancestors of the Yan Family harnessed the Dao of Asura by chance, they immediately designated the area where this technique was mastered as a forbidden region, and planted heavy military defenses around it as a nursery to pass down the technique to younger generations. After countless years, the Yan people passed down the knowledge to subsequent generations, and each generation penned down their emotions and experiences from comprehending the technique, leaving them as records for their descendants to learn from.

But even then, not every member of the Yan Family was given the chance to master the Dao of Asura.

Of course, this didn't mean that only the Yan people were allowed to learn the Dao of Asura. However, without any experience bestowed by predecessors, or a specially curated environment to nurture one's skills in, or any guidance from others, attempting to master the Dao of Asura relying on one's own strength was undoubtedly a frighteningly daunting task.

To be blunt … mastering the Dao of Asura would be a hundred times harder for someone without any external help compared to the first Yan ancestor who picked it up by chance.

By the same line of reasoning, the Near-Life Dao technique was also passed down by generations of the Holy Barbarian Empire. So how could Fang Zhengzhi have possibly mastered the Near-Life Dao?

It's unbelievable.

Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi was the illegitimate child of the Northern Barbarian Emperor? Or perhaps, Fang Zhengzhi stole the secret technique of the Northern Barbarians and sneaked into their forbidden zone?

Xing Yuanguo didn't understand.

Even though he saw Fang Zhengzhi lift up the Near-Life Gate with his own eyes, he never imagined that Fang Zhengzhi would have mastered the Near-Life Dao of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques.

But that was the fact …

The six-colored characters in Fang Zhengzhi's hand were blindingly radiant and most importantly, the pattern containing the characters has already been pressed onto King Xieluo's head.

”Boom!” Following a thunderous collision, a violent wave of energy blasted in all directions with King Xieluo's head as its epicenter.

And within the blast, the six-colored characters swirled speedily, expanding in the air until finally, they completely engulfed King Xieluo's body.

”The hit actually landed?!”

”King Xieluo didn't dodge it?”

Everyone including Xing Yuanguo stared at the sky. They wouldn't bear much hope for any other sort of attack, but … the Near-Life Dao was different.

It was the sealing technique of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques!

”He actually mastered the Near-Life Dao? Looks like it wasn't just a coincidence that you could lift the Near-Life Gate up!” King Xieluo finally spoke.

Following that, the swirling six-colored characters quickly vanished like the melting of the first snowflakes.

His gargantuan figure slowly faded into view amidst the stormy blast. His golden pupils, his black scales and the bloodstains on his body had been washed away by the golden light.

”He's alright?!”

”How is that possible?”

”Isn't the Near-Life Dao technique a sealing technique?”

Both the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Yunqi were astonished after seeing his giant body appear.

”Hahaha … did you think this amateur's Near-Life Dao was enough to seal me?” King Xieluo's maniacal laughter answered everyone's doubts, and his eyes were unbelievably cold.

He was definitely shocked when he first saw the Near-Life Gate in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. He was certainly a little curious about the relationship between Fang Zhengzhi and the Near-Life Dao, but he wasn't too curious. Hence, this wasn't a very important problem.

Of course .... most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was only in the Supernatural State.

Even if someone in the Supernatural State could really manipulate the Near-Life Dao, what could he do with it?

There wasn't any doubt left, and neither was there another chance for Fang Zhengzhi.

King Xieluo had already locked down Fang Zhengzhi's aura. He strongly believed that Fang Zhengzhi lost every single chance of escaping his grasp.

”Die!” With a mighty bellow, King Xieluo unleashed his full strength once again after reserving his punches previously due to the sudden entrance of the Near-Life Dao, and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi wasn't in the best state at the moment. He was injured after his confrontation with Yan Xiu, and although he increased his speed with agonizing effort and created another chance to attack, he was still burdened by his wounds.

Seeing King Xieluo's tail swing over, what else could he do?

Could he sit down and rest? Of course not!
