道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

Chapter 776

[...]

As the light of self-destruction that comes from the yin and yang flower intensifies in brightness the Asura Monarch knew that it is only a matter of time before it detonates.

[...]

Although the situation is advantageous to him Yi maintains an expression of vigilance. If it were this easy to defeat an Original Monarch most of them would have surely fallen by now.

With the rotating web of black and white threads closing in on the flower's core the Asura Monarch smiles as he looks to Yi in a taunting manner.

[I do not know what it is that you have planned for your other half but are you absolutely confident of him heeding to your will?]

Despite the tense situation that he is under the Asura Monarch raises this question to Yi.

[...]

Towards this question Yi frowns.

Having lived for this long Yi naturally knows that the chances of everything going his way in life is very slim.

[.........]

Thinking of the Asura Monarch's question Yi looks to the directions of the plain courtyard that is behind him.

Considering how his current body had been created by Ye Gui Feng Yi has naturally retained all the memories that Ye Gui Feng possessed.

Having witnessed everything that led up to this point in the manners of experiencing a lengthy dream Yi knew about the relationship that Ye Gui Feng has with Xiao Ju Hong and the spirit of the Dao Lotus that is their child.

To Yi the memories of Ye Gui Feng felt like the memories of entirely different life and because of these memories' presence in his head he can't help but feel a series of complicated emotions towards the individuals that are in the plain courtyard.

[...]

Under ordinary circumstances these individuals should be strangers to him but because of Ye Gui Feng's memories Yi cannot bring himself to treat them as complete strangers.

Throughout his life Yi had schemed against countless individuals of great power but not even he could have predicted that this would be the predicament in which he would reawaken to eons after his supposed death.

(...Tíng'er (婷儿)... If you're by my side now what would you tell me to do?)

Thinking of a person Yi inwardly smiles in self-ridicule and grief as old memories resurface.

These memories contained warmth and happiness but they also held bitterness and pain.

But regardless of the bitterness and pain that these memories held the events of his past are unforgettable to Yi because they are what drives him to continue living in the present moment.

Although Yi wishes to bask within these memories for a bit longer the present circumstance prevents him from doing so.

[*Sigh*]

Pulling his head out of his reminiscence Yi redirects his attention back to reality and answers the Asura Monarch's question with-

[Seven years of grief, a hundred years of pain, 800 years of yearning, a thousand years of loss, having walked this far I no longer have a road behind me to retreat with. Right now I am a limbless bird that is forced to beat its wings without end. This time... Not even an Original Monarch can stop me.]

With a determined expression on his face Yi answers the Asura Monarch back with these words seemingly unbothered by the doubts that he has in his mind.
