道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

Chapter 832

[Fortune? And just whom do you two plan to steal this fortune from? Do not make me laugh. Both of you are overestimating your abilities.]

[Overestimating my abilities?]

Strength at the level of a Half-Monarch are all determined by the number of incomplete laws at one's disposal and this number is determined by how well the individual is able to utilize the energy that is able to form these laws.

That being the case it's fair to say that compared to Dao Mo who possesses a handful of incomplete laws for the purposes of offense and defense Hua Luo is far too vulnerable when facing either of them in battle.

[Well you're not wrong about that. Compared to you two who are basically dragons I'm nothing more than an ant. But-]

Admitting to Ye Can that his strength wasn't in the same realm as a proper Half-Monarch Hua Luo raises his right hand causing a slip of white jade to appear in his grip.

[Even an ant has the rights to salvage from the dead and struggle to survive. What I may lack I make up for using tools.]

Neither of them knew why but upon seeing the white jade that is held in Hua Luo's hand Ye Can and Dao Mo felt their heart skipping a beat.

[Dao Mo weren't you skeptical of my claims from before? This should serve as proof to dispel your doubts.]

Having said that Hua Luo crushes the slip of white jade and upon doing so-

[Unlike Dao Mo I cannot be as refined with my methods. So Ye Can consider this boorish if you must but brute force is often the best solution to a difficult problem.]

*!!!!!!!* domineering, dread inducing, suppressive such words can all be used to describe the tyrannical pressure that was brought forth by Hua Luo!

[...!]

[...!]

Having one's cultivation base suppressed by a superior being; as Half-Monarchs this feeling is both familiar and foreign to Ye Can and Dao Mo as neither of them can recall the last time in which they had to endure such a matter.

With Ye Can's cultivation base suppressed the execution of his Absolute Law is cut off and for Dao Mo it reduced the speed at which the lion is devouring the moon, mountain, and river painting.

The abnormal nature of this situation causes the expression of both Ye Can and Dao Mo to change drastically as a storm of energy that is unique to a perfected Absolute Law erupts from the shattered jade to surround Hua Luo at its center!

(Dao Mo it's your turn. Soon his highness Duo Tian will make his advent.)

[...]

Recalling what Hua Luo had said before Dao Mo narrows his eyes.

[Looks like I've truly underestimated your craftiness...]

Giving up on the execution of his Absolute Law completely Ye Can's expression darkens as he glares at Hua Luo.

[If I wasn't as crafty as I am now I wouldn't be standing here today.]

Dark hair, dark robes, and a demonic sense of beauty that can bewitch all lifeforms without regards to gender.

The sudden change in this situation wasn't something that Ye Can and Dao Mo can laugh off as trivial for the figure that is coming into being is someone that they must treat with both utmost respect and caution against.

It was the figure of the individual who was hailed as the most powerful being in the era that was destroyed by the Original Monarch's reawakening.

[Li Jiu Tian...]

Admittedly neither Ye Can or Dao Mo could have expected Hua Luo to play such a card and although this is by no means the actual Li Jiu Tian that is coming into being it is never the less an ephemeral phantom that was crafted by a genuine monarch.

It's not uncommon for a powerful practitioner to imbue their divine senses onto a jade slip and gifting it away to someone of importance so that they may use it as a lifesaving treasure when in danger.

But this phantom body made from Li Jiu Tian's divine senses also contains a trace of his perfected law.

Comparing an incomplete law to a perfected law is like comparing the earth to the sun.

The vast distance that separates the two makes the latter more than capable of fatally wounding a Half-Monarch when used under the right circumstances and as Half-Monarchs both Ye Can and Dao Mo understood this fact to a clear degree.

[You truly didn't let me down.]

Despite this situation not being favorable for him Dao Mo's golden eyes shine with a light of anticipation.

This phantom can only unleash a single attack and Dao Mo didn't think that Hua Luo would waste it on him when recalling their intent in using that jade slip.

If Hua Luo truly hopes to take a portion of the stone road for himself then he would have the phantom attack the stone road and being able to witness Li Jiu Tian's Absolute Law firsthand is something that would aid Dao Mo greatly in the long run.

As the phantom figure of Li Jiu Tian opens its eyes the storm of energy explodes forcing both Ye Can and Dao Mo to take two steps back.

There wasn't a single bit of delay in the phantom's movement as a nodachi that's nearly two meters in length appears in its hand.

[The first portion that I want is the Dào Jié (道结 Meaning: Dao's End).]

[...!]

Hearing these words Ye Can's darken expression turns grimmer than before.

The mentioned portion is none other than the final portion of the stone road and on some levels it can be considered the most important part of it as a whole.

[Dao's End...]

Although Dao Mo wasn't as well informed as Ye Can he can still think of various reasons to see why Ye Can might be showing such a change on his face.

[Tch!]

As soon as the phantom turns its eyes to look towards the far distance Ye Can immediately takes a single step forward and appears in its way.

Expressionlessly the phantom takes a stance.

This stance can only be described as unusual for the phantom stood tall without bending their back whilst holding the nodachi in vertically front of their chest.

Even an amateur would be able to see that with the way the phantom is holding their weapon it would surely make it impossible to draw out a blade that's nearly two meters in length and yet-

[...!]

As soon as the blade reveals a tiny portion of itself from the scabbard an icy chill runs down the spine of Ye Can.

Despite how unnatural the phantom's stance is Ye Can knew that the moment this chill had ran down his back the blade has already been fully drawn and in the next instance-

*...!!!* a sight that can only be described as mystical occurs; similar to a whip a beam of white radiance slashes onto the eyes of Ye Can and Dao Mo.

Without any way to stop the attack that was executed with a speed that surpasses lightning a thread of sword Qi blows pass Ye Can!
