The night was silent once again . The sounds of killing had all gone .

There was only a ray of golden light in the sky . His light had blocked out all the stars and the moon .

At this moment, everyone was looking at the golden column of light . There were those who were shocked, happy, terrified, and sad . . .

Of course, there was one other emotion .

That was . . .

"F*ck my luck!"

This was extremely cra.s.s, but Fang Zhengzhi had no other phrase to describe his current emotions .

What did he just see?

What the f*ck was that?

This was a strange world, and he had known this since the day he entered it . It was filled with unbelievable occurrences and unknowns .

However, this was a whole other thing altogether!

An old man who was about to die managed to turn into a young man in his twenties? What the h.e.l.l was that?

A phoenix rising from the ashes? A b.u.t.terfly popping out of its coc.o.o.n?

More importantly . . .

What the h.e.l.l was that screen of golden light?

It had changed everything within moments .

Fang Zhengzhi couldn't believe that Canyang had managed to change the rules of the world he controlled .

He was completely . . .

Embarra.s.sed!

Fang Zhengzhi was also furious .

He had rarely been in such control over a situation . He still remembered the time he had held the Traceless Sword in the World of the Sage .

He relished that feeling .

He was in control then .

It was almost as if he was standing at the top of the world, in control of everyone's lives . He had taken down the Supernatural State Ying Shan with a single strike .

He had felt this way just now . . .

He was extremely excited when he held The Vast World in his hand . He thought that he was in control . . .

But . . .

The excitement did not last long .

Fang Zhengzhi intended to teach the Demons a lesson before taking a break and talking some terms with Shan Ling .

He wanted to confirm the time and date on the delivery of those jewels .

Else . . .

He would have felt taken advantage of if he fought for them for nothing .

His future was bright .

However, even before he could confirm the deal, Canyang threw a spanner in the works .

More importantly, he felt like he had been spotted .

That's right . . .

The moment Canyang shot to the heavens, he felt as though he had been spotted, almost as if he was out in the open for all to see .

This made no sense .

Ordinarily, Fang Zhengzhi's position should have never been revealed since he was the one controlling The Vast World .

"Down!"

　　 . . .

"Down!"

Just as Fang Zhengzhi's voice echoed through the sky, a purple ray of lightning shot towards the golden column of light .

"Boom!" The purple electricity surrounded that golden column of light, enveloping it entirely .

However, the column of light continued to stand strong .

Pointed straight to the heavens . . .

Everyone was watching in awe as the golden light continued to shoot towards the heavens .

Sage!

This was a state revered by humans and demons alike .

Attaining the Sage State meant unfathomable abilities and powers . This was the pinnacle of power, and it represented an ability to break through anything .

This was the dream of humans and demons alike .

As for the benefits . . .

One did not have to spell them out .

One point was sufficient . A Sage was in the same league as the Emperor . Even the Emperor, with millions of soldiers at his disposal, or the Demon Lord himself, had to accord a Sage respect .

One Pavilion, Four Sages, 13 Constabularies .

That was a common saying in the Great Xia Empire .

The Pavilion referred to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion . It controlled all creation and carried out the wishes of the heavens . The four sages were the most powerful men in the world .

They were on the same level as the empire itself, ahead of the 13 Constabularies .

This was testament to their standing .

Right now, that column of golden light shooting towards the heavens . . . that light had a name . . .

Light of the Sage!

No one knew why Canyang would breakthrough all of a sudden .

But one thing was certain .

When Canyang's forehead lit up, he was already a sage .

"Father, Fang Zhengzhi . . . " Xing Qingsui clenched his fists in worry as he watched Canyang bathing in the Light of the Sage .

"Aish, heaven's will . . . " Xing Yuanguo sighed as he looked at Canyang . He shared Xing Qingsui's worry, but he couldn't do anything .

Antagonize a sage?

Definitely not!

As such, he could only wait and grit his teeth!

"Heaven's will . . . indeed . . . " Shan Ling murmured to himself . He couldn't bring himself to accept this fact . . .

　　 . . .

Fang Zhengzhi had a bad feeling when he saw Canyang charge upwards . Even though he had no idea what happened . . .

He did know one thing . . .

Canyang's abilities had increased .

"No way? Another self-destruct?" Fang Zhengzhi sighed . This was not the first time he had encountered this .

Ying Shan had self-destructed in the World of the Sage .

His abilities had increased drastically for the last few moments of his life .

At the entrance to the Icy Monkey Settlement, he encountered yet another demon who had drained his demonic eye .

He never thought he would encounter this again . . . but he didn't expect Canyang to engage in such tactics .

That being said . . .

He found that something was amiss . . .

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Canyang and the complicated symbol on his forehead . He had his doubts . . .

Canyang didn't look like he was about to self-destruct!

Fang Zhengzhi had quite a bit of experience with these self-destructs . Canyang's current state didn't have any resemblance to the self-destructs he had experienced before . . .

The power of the demons was concentrated in their demonic eyes . That was where they drew energy from .

The moment they went into self-destruct mode . . .

They drained the eye of its energy .

There would be no energy left in the demonic eye . It would turn grey . . .

But . . .

What was happening to Canyang looked different .

Canyang was ridiculously strong, and the bulk of his energy was concentrated in the symbol on his forehead . Fang Zhengzhi could sense the energy radiating from the symbol .

"He didn't self-destruct?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly confused .

He could have understood it if Canyang had self-destructed . But, if he didn't, how did Canyang become so powerful all of a sudden?

The Vast World was like a completely different dimension .

It was a s.p.a.ce that had its own rules .

Fang Zhengzhi had a feeling . . .

When Canyang was first absorbed into The Vast World, Fang Zhengzhi could feel his presence . However, after the symbol on his head changed . . .

Fang Zhengzhi felt like Canyang was no longer constrained by The Vast World .

This was not a good feeling .

This meant that Canyang could remove himself from The Vast World at any time .

If he didn't self-destruct . . .

And got stronger . . .

That could only mean . . .

One thing!

Breakthrough!

"Oh . . . so it's a breakthrough . . . " Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief, then realized something was wrong . . .

Hang on . . .

Canyang was a half sage . . .

A half sage breaking through . . .

What was that?

"Did he become a Sage?" Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed instantly .

The only way to describe his feelings now was . . .

F*ck my luck!

　　 . . .

Canyang continued to rise through the Light of the Sage .

At the same time, the entire ground began to shake as web-like cracks extended in all directions .

As the ground split open, giant rocks were sent skywards .

They flew upwards at incredible speeds .

The rocks began to congregate at a single spot, almost as if a huge mountain was blocking Canyang . Those rocks also blocked out the weak starlight .

"Boom!"

Just like a sword, Canyang went right through the rocks without any sign of slowing down .

The golden light was extremely radiant .

The rocks didn't split or shatter . They simply melted, just like the black figures before them . They simply melted and disappeared .

Everyone on the ground was watching this happen .

They were shocked, but they expected this . This was the power of the Sage . Nothing could stand in the way of a Sage .

The mountain disappeared and the night was silent .

Canyang finally stopped in mid-air . He looked at his surroundings, his forehead still glowing .

"Break!" He said softly .

The moment he said it, a huge crack formed in front of him .

It was a black crack . . .

Almost as if s.p.a.ce itself was breaking .

The crack was not unexpected . Whenever something was too fast or too powerful for the s.p.a.ce to handle, cracks like this would form .

However . . .

Something needed to be capable of that .

The ability to form such a crack with a single word was rare . Furthermore, after the crack appeared, it showed no signs of disappearing .

Instead, it began to grow, almost as if something was continuing to tear the s.p.a.ce open .

If the entire sky was seen as a sheet of gla.s.s . . .

This sheet of gla.s.s had just been smashed by a rock . The rock was moving at such speeds that it was impossible for anyone to react .

The dark sky . . .

More cracks began to appear and spread . The cracks multiplied, swallowing the stars in the sky .

Then the cracks began to join together, forming larger holes, threatening to swallow the entire sky .

　　 . . .

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to throw The Vast World in his hands to Ping Yang and say, "For you, I'm out!"

To be honest . . .

When The Vast World had been activated . . .

He had wondered if Canyang had any other secrets . . .

He had thought that Canyang may have powerful treasures, or may drain his demonic eye to inflict grave losses .

But he never expected that Canyang would breakthrough .

Did he need to be that ridiculously powerful?

A half sage was powerful enough!

d.a.m.n that breakthrough!

Sage!

Fang Zhengzhi was on the verge of crumbling .

He had no idea what to do anymore . If it was possible, he would hand The Vast World off to anyone else .

But it was too late . . .

He knew that it was too late when the cracks appeared .

The sky had shattered .

The earth was also breaking apart . Dust and rocks shot skywards as trees were split in half .

This was a wreck . . .

Everything was being destroyed .

Fang Zhengzhi knew what was going to happen next . He also knew that once The Vast World had been broken, he was a dead man . . .

What was he going to do?

What could he do?

He could not let The Vast World break .

Oh yes . . .

The Vast World could swallow entire worlds . . .

Not that . . .

What came before that?

Yes . . . he could link up his pocket dimension with it!

"Link up his pocket dimension!"

"Pocket . . . "

Fang Zhengzhi repeated this to himself . Then, his eyes began to glow .

"Link the pocket dimension with The Vast World!"

A crisp voice rang out through the shattering sky . Everyone heard it clearly .

There was a huge tremor in the ground . . .

Then . . .

A huge tree appeared . It was an extremely thick and tall tree, complete with branches, leaves, and fruits .
