道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

Chapter 783

[...]

Step by step Ye Gui Feng walks toward the figure who stands at the forefront of the phantom masses. Even now his cultivation base continues to strengthen itself with each step but compared to before this speed is noticeably slower.

Despite the speed of his growth being noticeably slower than before any other practitioner would surely be more than willing to trade places with Ye Gui Feng. Having reached this level of cultivation making even a tiny bit of progress is considered a trial.

As Ye Gui Feng draws closer and closer to that phantom the more intensive the feeling of familiarity gets. At the same time the archaic air of power that comes from that phantom becomes more and more obvious to him.

It is difficult to say for certain as to what level of cultivation this phantom had been but Ye Gui Feng estimates them to be at a level that can allow them to fight against two or three Exalted Celestials of the modern world at the same time without losing ground.

It isn't known if this is the phantom's cultivation base during the time in which they had completed their final step or if this is their current level of cultivation.

If it was the first then this person's cultivation base must have already reached an unimaginable height had they lived till this day.

[...]

As he continues to move towards the phantom Ye Gui Feng would occasionally look towards Xuan Nuo who had an expression of wariness on his face.

This type of expression is something that Ye Gui Feng finds to be a rarity on Xuan Nuo and judging by the way they are acting he comes to the conclusion that the ease in which he is moving towards that phantom is unusual.

[Is "he" inviting me to come to him?]

This is the answer that Ye Gui Feng had arrived to as he continues to move. He doesn't know just how much effort it would have been required of him to come to stand before that phantom if he had to gone about this in an ordinary manner but he can clearly picture himself having exhausted all his strength while being nowhere near that phantom by the end of it.

Momentarily Ye Gui Feng comes to stand five or so meters away from the phantom's back.

[...]

Wordlessly Ye Gui Feng stands behind the phantom who continues to have their back facing him.

Towards this phantom's identity Ye Gui Feng already knows who they are. In fact it should be obvious. There can only be one individual who would have a connection to him on this road of gold.

[...]

Inwardly Ye Gui Feng raises a sigh. He didn't know what to say to this phantom of his original self. At the same time is there any meaning to raise the questions that he wishes to ask to a mere ghost of the actual person?

.........

As silence looms between the two the phantom-

[Do you see it?]

Opens their mouth and raises this question to Ye Gui Feng.

[...?]

Towards the phantom's question Ye Gui Feng frowns.

[Wh-?]

Just as Ye Gui Feng is about to ask the meaning behind this question the phantom turns their head to the side and the gloomy radiance that comes from their right eye causes Ye Gui Feng to pause in his speech.
