道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

Chapter 805

[Instead of glaring at me for being an annoying bug why don't you try and sever these threads?]

With a light of confidence in his eyes Ye Gui Feng openly taunts Yi Zhu Xian to sever the threads that represent the final anchors that are chaining his concept of existence onto this plane. Although he doesn't know how powerful an Original Monarch is at their prime none of that matters right now as none of these monsters that have existed since time immemorial are capable of returning or surpassing their primes at this time.

[...]

Meeting the eyes of Ye Gui Feng that are filled with a discomforting level of confidence Yi Zhu Xian raises her hand and points her finger towards one of the three remaining threads at random.

*-!!!* should one strain their ears they would be able to pick a sound that is difficult to describe with words.

To Ye Gui Feng this sound couldn't have been any more familiar for this is the same sound that would go off prior to the sound of a scissor's jaws being closed.

[...]

Having grown accustomed to this scene due to the countless number of replays that have been shown to him Ye Gui Feng sees the sight in front of him playing in slow motion.

All of it begins with the birth of a gleaming radiance that is akin to the light of a merciless blade emerging from its sheath when drawn by the hands of a master swordsman.

For an instance the entirety of the world darkens with the only thing visible being the ray of blade like radiance and the red thread that is in its path.

In a way that is similar to the movements of a whip when lashed out the ray of light presses down from above and gradually closes in on the karmic thread.

[...]

Due to how slow everything is playing out in front of Ye Gui Feng's eyes this attack seems to hold not a single bit of force behind it.

In what seems to be the time it would take for the human heart to beat five times the blade like radiance lands onto the karmic thread with a press that is as soft as a kiss but this supposed touch that seems gentle on the surface-

*-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* is the exact opposite of how it would appear to the eyes and had it not been for the powerful blast of wind that went off the moment that ray of light had landed there was no possible way for Ye Gui Feng to have known just how heavy the impact of that attack had been.

[...]

Judging by the strength of this wind that can easily rip the skin of a mortal right off without a shadow of a doubt Ye Gui Feng can readily imagine the result of that radiance hitting an Exalted Celestial head-on.

[...]

[...]

With their eyes drawn towards the thread that had been hit neither Ye Gui Feng or Yi Zhu Xian spoke a word to the other as silence looms in the air between them.

By now the scene that is always meant to follow right after the conclusion of this radiance's strike should have already happened however-

[Tch.]

Looking to the thread that she is pointing to Yi Zhu Xian's gaze sharpens as she clicks her tongue and lowers her arm.

Compared to all the other threads that have been cut down with ease Yi Zhu Xian can tell that these three are special.

There's no proper term to address these special karmic threads but they are generally formed of the most significant bonds that a person has obtained in their lifetime.

Each one of these threads are meant to represent a specific "destiny" that are related to the individuals on the opposing ends of the karmic bond and under ordinary circumstances these destinies are unknown even to Yi Zhu Xian.

The few ways to know what these destinies are is to allow them to naturally come into fruition over time and it is also because of the destiny that each thread represents that makes them difficult to sever.

Had Yi Zhu Xian been at her prime such an issue can readily be dealt with but in her weakened state it would be difficult to say for certain.

[.........]

Numerous thoughts went through Yi Zhu Xian's head as she contemplates over whether or not it was beneficial for her to go all out in severing these threads for the sake of erasing a single human that she finds irritating.

[...]

Narrowing her eyes tightly Yi Zhu Xian makes a casual gesture causing one of the three threads to flow towards her. Of the three threads that remain this one interests her the most. It's difficult to describe with words but the odd vibe of that this thread gives off piques her curiosity.

[...]

Gazing upon the thread with calm eyes Yi Zhu Xian peers into it. Although in her current state she isn't able to find where the future of this destiny is meant to lead she is more than capable of looking into its past.

[...]

Similar to the pages of a book images turn inside of Yi Zhu Xian's head as she searches for the root of this destiny.

[.........]

Eventually her eyes rests upon the beginning of this destiny that is located at the far back.

All of it begins with the image of a single soul. Unlike an ordinary soul this one is made up of two different colors being blue and violet.

The chilling blue half of this soul gives off a sense of innocence that is akin to that of a newborn child.

But the violet half of this soul gives off an archaic air that would only be found on the body of an ancient monster.

The contrasting nature of this soul can only be thought of as odd yet the difference didn't seem to matter as they do not affect the stability of this soul.

[...]

Most people wouldn't know what this soul's significance is but there is no possible way for Yi Zhu Xian to be clueless about it.

Under ordinary circumstances such a soul cannot possibly exist and even if it did it couldn't possibly last for an eternity; at most it would be something that exists for only a brief instance before being extinguished by the natural laws of the world.

And yet here it is.

One could consider the very existence of this soul to be the representation of a miracle, an unknown that's yet to be fully explored.

[Heh...]

Raising her face and looking towards Ye Gui Feng Yi Zhu Xian's lips curl upwards to form a smile of amusement as her eyes flicker with an odd sense of excitement.

Suddenly the person in front of her doesn't seem as irritating as before.

The image of that soul is all that she needed to see as she releases her grip on the thread.

[The unknown that I yearn to see. Here and now it stands before me. How unexpected... Do put up a good performance as I look forward to seeing where this destiny may lead.]

Waving her hand lightly Yi Zhu Xian causes the weapon that is the incarnation of Ye Gui Feng's fate to lift itself off the asteroid's body and propels itself towards its proper owner.

[...]

A hint of confusion can be seen in Ye Gui Feng's eyes towards the odd behavior of Yi Zhu Xian that is in complete contrast to her attitude from before but he didn't have too much time to take this into consideration as the weapon quickly reaches his hand.

*Boom!* the moment in which the sword had reached his hand the chains that bind Ye Gui Feng's right wrist shatters.

A sword of the same shape manifests in the human like vessel's hand as well and slashing with the sword four times Ye Gui Feng and the human like vessel destroys the chains that bind their body.

As soon as the chains are destroyed the transparent body of Ye Gui Feng regains its clarity and it is in the same instance that-
