Chapter 349 Izanagi
Sun Wukong pulled the other half of the golden cudgel out of his ear.
His stick broke into two; one was stuck in the sky and couldn't be pulled out, while the other was still in his hand.
He raised the stick in his hand, and the golden light on it exploded, becoming even brighter than before.
He pushed the golden light upwards, but the golden light also plunged into the darkness and disappeared.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable raised his whisk, and a blue light shone from it.
The blue light illuminated the city wall, Su Fan's face, and Sun Wukong's face.
He pushed the blue light upwards, and the blue light plunged into the darkness and disappeared.
Qingfeng raised the broken sword, and the runes on it lit up briefly, a faint light like a firefly.
He pushed the light upwards, and the light disappeared.
The human warrior planted his broken sword in the ground, his hands gripping the hilt, and a faint white light emanated from his chest.
He pushed the white light upwards, and the white light disappeared.
The wolf demon lay on the ground, propping itself up with its chin, and light emanated from its eyes, green like will-o'-the-wisps.
He pushed the green light into the sky, and the green light disappeared.
One after another, everyone was pushing light into the sky.
Ten thousand and fifty rays of light, some golden, some blue, some green, some red, some indigo, and some violet, were twisted together like a colorful rope.
The rope hit the layer of darkness, and the layer of darkness stopped.
I'm not pressing it down anymore.
But it didn't go up.
It just stopped there.
Su Fan looked at the colorful rope and started calculating in his mind.
How long can the rope hold?
The Dao of the Primordial Celestial Venerable can last for three days.
His path can last a day.
Sun Wukong's magic can last for two days.
Others' paths can last for half a day, for an hour, or for a quarter of an hour.
The one who lasted the longest was Yuanshi Tianzun, for three days.
Those who lasted the shortest were the ones with broken legs, blind eyes, and deaf ears; they couldn't even last an hour.
Su Fan said, "It won't last long."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "I know."
Su Fan asked, "Then what should we do?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Wait. Wait for him to come down. Once he comes down, we won't have to hold out anymore. We'll attack him."
Su Fan asked, "Can we win?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Even if we can't win, we have to fight."
Su Fan didn't speak.
He untied the cloth from his right hand; the cloth was already red, and blood was still seeping out.
He raised his hand towards the darkness above.
"Izanagi. Weren't you waiting for me to get tired? I'm tired. Get down."
The layer of darkness shifted slightly.
It's not pressing down, it's shrinking up.
It shrank by one foot, then stopped.
Sun Wukong looked at the layer of black and laughed.
"He's scared. He's too afraid to come down."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "He is not afraid. He is waiting. Waiting for our Dao to give way. Waiting for the rope to break. Then he will come down."
Su Fan took the disc out of his pocket and held it above his head.
The disc glowed, and the light shone on the colorful rope, making the rope appear thicker.
He also took out Pangu's heart and held it in his other hand.
The heart glowed, and the light shone on the rope, making it appear even thicker.
He also took out Typhon's divine essence, which was already shattered, and the fragments were still in his arms.
He took out the fragments and held them in his hand.
The fragments glowed, and the light shone on the rope, making it appear thicker.
Three things, three lights, twisted together, and twisted together with a colorful rope, becoming a thicker rope.
The rope struck the layer of darkness, and the layer of darkness receded upwards by a foot.
The pressure on the South Heaven Gate has lessened, and the cracks in the city wall have stopped widening.
Su Fan's hands were trembling.
The three things were too heavy for his hands to support.
The disc was burning hot, the heart was ice-cold, and the fragments of divinity were thorny.
Blood trickled from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
But he didn't let go.
Sun Wukong looked at him.
"Kid, you won't last long."
Su Fan said, "I know. But we'll hold out for as long as we can."
He turned to look at Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Senior, do you have any way to help me last longer?"
Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent for a moment.
"Yes. But it will cost you your life."
Su Fan asked, "How do I change it?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Merge your divine soul into the disc. The disc is the essence of La. When your divine soul merges into it, you become La. La's power is limitless, and its light can illuminate the entire world. Your light can also illuminate the entire world. When your light shines on that layer of darkness, that layer of darkness dissipates."
Su Fan asked, "And then what happens after it's integrated?"
The Primordial Celestial said, "You will become Ra. Sufan will disappear."
Su Fan didn't speak.
He looked at the disc in his hand.
The disc glowed in his palm, and the light shone warmly on his face.
He raised the disc towards the darkness in the sky.
"Izanagi. Didn't you want to kill me? Come on then."
The layer of darkness shifted again.
It shrank another foot upwards.
Su Fan stuffed the disc back into his arms, the heart back into his arms, and the fragments back into his arms.
He raised his right fist, which was covered in golden light.
The golden light was weak, but he poured all his power into it.
A burst of golden light erupted, becoming three times brighter than before.
He aimed his fist at the darkness in the sky and threw a punch.
Golden light shot out from the fist, like a golden arrow, piercing into the darkness.
A hole was shot through the layer of black.
The hole wasn't big, about the size of a fist.
But light leaked down from the cave, blue light, the light of day.
Su Fan looked at the hole, and a surge of energy welled up inside him.
He pulled his right fist back and threw another punch.
Another hole.
The third punch, the third hole.
The fourth punch, the fourth hole.
The skin on his right fist was completely torn, exposing the bone, and blood was dripping down.
But he's still playing.
The fifth punch, the sixth punch, the seventh punch.
Seven holes.
The sunlight leaked down from the seven caves, shining on the South Heavenly Gate, the city walls, and on everyone's faces.
The layer of darkness shrank upwards.
It's not shrinking inch by inch, it's shrinking zhang by zhang.
The light from the seven caves grew brighter and brighter, the caves grew larger and larger, and the caves connected with each other, becoming a crack.
Blue light surged from the crack, illuminating the entire South Heavenly Gate.
That layer of black shattered.
It was like a mirror shattering, with shards falling from the sky and landing on the ground, creating craters.
The fragments were black, and they dissolved upon hitting the ground, turning into black water that flowed all over the place.
The black water smelled foul, like the stench of dead fish.
Su Fan stood on the city wall, the bone in his right fist exposed, blood dripping down.
But he was still standing.
Sun Wukong stood beside him, and the golden cudgel fell from the sky, hitting him at his feet. The golden light on the cudgel shone brightly again.
He bent down and picked up the stick, then pulled the other one down from the sky, and the two sticks joined together to become one.
He held the stick, and the golden light from the stick illuminated his face.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable took out a pill from his sleeve and put it into Su Fan's mouth.
As the pill entered his throat, a surge of heat rose from his stomach and flowed to his right hand.
Granulation tissue grows out from the side of the bone, gradually covering it.
Su Fan looked up at the sky.
The sky was blue, a very clean blue.
In the deepest part of the blue, there is a point.
It's not gold, not silver, not black, it's white, like a white star.
Izanagi was looking at him.
Su Fan also looked at him.
Neither of them moved.
Sun Wukong carried the golden cudgel on his shoulder.
"Kid, isn't he leaving yet?"
Su Fan said, "He's not leaving. He's waiting."
Sun Wukong asked, "What are we waiting for?"
Su Fan said, "Wait until next time. Wait until I'm healed, until I regain my strength, until I'm relaxed. Then he can come again."
Sun Wukong slammed his golden cudgel into the ground.
"Then I, Old Sun, will go find him."
Su Fan shook his head.
"You can't find him. He's not on Earth, not in the primordial world, not in any mythical world. He's in the heavens. At the highest point of the heavens. Beyond the heavens."
Sun Wukong looked up at the white dot in the sky.
"Outside the sky? What's outside the sky?"
Su Fan said, "I don't know. But Izanagi is there."
