The Urban Dao Child

Chapter 311 - Rectifying Death.



Yang Dao heard that Mortem called the spirit of life weak and imposed himself in the position of power. He was enraged. His innate aura of the Dao Child was lit up in an instant as he called Mortem an ant.

The spirit of death was also shocked. It had never been expected that anyone would dare to call him as such. The previous Dao children were all respectful to him. They revered him, making him know his true power. While compared to Mortem, Vita was treated a little more mundanely.

The heavenly spirits were aware that the world was in disarray, however, Laws of Life and Death that were mastered by the Azure Dragon had become imbalanced. The Azure Dragon could not interfere with them after all, even if he had mastered and seen through their secrets. He was just an entity born from the Dao, similar to the laws.

If you can imagine the laws of life and death, or any law for that matter, as a railway track, then the four heavenly spirits were just ordinary mechanics looking after these tracks.. If they could not handle some problem related to the maintenance and found a major error. Mechanics will inform their engineer, the Dao.

Heavenly Dao will act and fix everything. The mean of action will be a chosen one, the Dao child. He will be the Dao himself. Yang Dao had adjusted into his role completely and thus he had begun to develop his mind to think like an impartial entity, managing all the things to stay in balance. Sounds impressive, right? However, this mentality of his has always been covered up and rarely shown in front of anyone.

Dao was mysterious. How can he let anyone see through him so easily? Of all the surrounding people, only Mortem was lucky enough to see his real face. Yang Dao stood in front of the black-cloaked spirit with a poker face.

Mortem was sluggish for a few moments when he heard how this kid addressed him. His sense of arrogance had taken over his sanity to a level where this guy had placed himself an entity equal to Dao. Completely forgetting that without Dao enlightenment they would have been a set of obscure laws, like a wisp of gas in the eternal void.

Mortem regained his senses and said, “How-dare-you-?” he put a lot of emphasis on every single word he spoke. His anger was obvious. After all, he was the spirit of death, made from the laws of death. He can destroy a whole world if he wished for it.”

Yang Dao tilted his head to the side and said, “You, incapable thing. Do you think death is stronger than life? You are a spirit who came to life because the laws of Death gained enlightenment from the heavens after being read and comprehended by countless people. Otherwise, what were you? A word that was written on a stone tablet by a caveman?

You use your LIFE to rule death. Shameful thing, it is time you are cleansed.” the next moment his hair fluttered without wind. Yang Dao was angry with this guy like he has never been before. You can imagine that he had the heart to kill and that too, not without torture. Mortem underestimated the cruelty of this guy in front of him.

Mortem was stunned for a second. However, was it that easy to counter the beliefs that could even make the laws of heavens shake and succumb to imbalance? He retorted, “You dared to enter the world of spirits with this half-ass spiritual body and dare to call me MORTEM, an ant. Very well, you can perish here.

At first, I thought to would serve a good role of being my host, if you passed the trial but now, you shall perish here. It will be a significant event, as never has anyone died while they had tried to master the laws.”

Yang Dao did not have the slightest fluctuation on his face. His eyes were calm. This aloof temperament of his made Mortem curious. He wanted to see till how long can this human pretend in front of his might. He did not dare to underestimate the Dao Child in the slightest.

The spirit of Death still underestimated him a lot. Yang Dao said, “Come, let us fight.”

It was as if a switch was flipped inside Mortem’s brain and he attacked as soon as the words came out of Yang Dao’s mouth. He waved his hand and a beam of black light shot out from the void aimed at the boy.

The latter stood there calmly. His eyes were as deep as an abyss and his heart was like an ocean. While Yang Dao was inside the citadel earlier, he meditated. The blessings of the Dao Child were immense, and he did not need to wait to read a book to comprehend the laws. All he needed was to find a secluded place and meditate with his consciousness focused on the root of the law. Though augmented boosts of the books were nice and welcomed too. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

The books gave him knowledge of the past visitors of the realms. He learned from his predecessors. Before he sat down in meditation, he perceived his surroundings, and the set up of the book of death made him fascinated. That book gave him a feeling of calm. Unknowingly, he comprehended a few bits of the law of life.

That said, since he had managed to glimpse at the laws of Life, after entering the spirit world of Death, he has started to comprehend the laws of death as well. Once you know the secrets of a weapon, you can use it on others and also defend against it if used upon you.

This is what happened here. Yang Dao closed his eyes as the ray of black light came closer to him. Mortem sneered at the scene. He knew it was not that easy to take down the child of heavens but it was not easy to get away unscathed from his attack as well.

Imagine if you find that a vein in your body is blocked. What do you think will affect you more severely? A punch in the face of a blocked vein in the brain? He was an entity born from the Dao, thus any action of his that defied the purpose of heavenly Dao was counted as a blocked vein.

However, contrary to what Mortem expected, the black ray did not harm Yang Dao, but wrapped him like a cocoon. His eyes almost fell out of his skull under the hood. He was shocked, raised his hand, and asked, “What are you? Why can you use my powers so easily?”

Yang Dao replied in an ethereal voice with his eyes closed, “I am the Dao, I am the death. Eternity is my soul, I am the heavens, the only unmatched.”

After this phrase, he opened his eyes, his golden eyes. There was no wind or temperature in this spirit space, yet Yang Dao’s hair was fluttering and Mortem was shivering. Slowly, the Dao child flew up into the air. His levitation was in line with his Dao resonation. However, to Mortem, Yang Dao had grown into a giant, with black hair and golden gleaming eyes. His gaze was like a torch that could evaporate the gloom in the world.

If life was to get stronger with joyous feelings in the world, death fed on gloom and despair. However, who was stronger than the one who created him and had no fear. Yang Dao had entered the state where he was omnipotent. Where he was strong enough to rewrite the laws themselves. This development was so sudden that Mortem had not even registered what was going on.

Yang Dao said, “Spirit of Death, you have defied the purpose you were given by the heavens. You have fallen from grace. Hereby you are sentenced to execution. Do you have any last words?” his ethereal voice was so awe-inspiring that Mortem was stunned.

His brain was flooded with all the wrongs beliefs inside him. He bowed his head and said, “I have nothing to say.”

The heavenly Dao ruled above them all. Mortem was no different. None of the Dao Childs could ever evoke this resonance to cleanse his corruption, but Yang Dao did and thus he accepted every penalty with grace.

Yang Dao replied, “Very well.” and his hand moved. A golden wave of light moved towards Mortem slowly. However, just as it was about to land on the target a soft voice sounded.

“Master, forgive him.” the voice belonged to a female. The golden light stopped. It was not because of the words, but a person appeared in front of Mortem. Kneeling on the ground with her head bowed low.

Yang Dao spoke, “Spirit of life, Vita. You are obstructing the rule of heavens. Have you also corrupted?” the voice was like a hypnotizing skill. Anyone who heard it was compelled to answer truthfully.

The lady in a white dress said, “Master, I apologize. Please give this lowly one a chance to speak. If you find my reason lacking, then please eradicate us. I will not complain.”
