"Hey is that person still him? Did he get possessed by someone else? Are we all utterly screwed?"

"..."

"..."

At Miao Xiao Lin's questions both Ming Xiao Luo and Bai Yuechu are at a loss for words as they look towards the figure of Ye Gui Feng's body that is currently under the control of Hua Luo.

The situation outside of the courtyard has already escalated to the point in which none of them could hope to intervene even as weapon spirits.

But-

"You cheap knock-off put a sock in it! We don't need you to question anything at this time!"

Feeling the need to put on a strong front to cope with the ongoing situation Ming Xiao Luo reprimands Miao Xiao Lin.

"You're the cheap knock-off! Your entire family are cheap knock-offs!"

"Shut up!"

Having shared the same weapon as vessels in the past the two weapon spirits that took on the form of children really didn't need any major reason to butt heads.

"The both of you need to calm down."

As the grown-up Bai Yuechu firmly presses his hands onto the top of their heads.

"For the time being we can only choose to watch. Whoever this person that possessed master's body is they seem to know his Dao Manifested Celestial well enough. This alone should be safe to assume they don't mean us harm."

"..."

"..."

The logical reasoning in Bai Yuechu's words instantly calmed the two weapon spirits as they all turned their attention towards the battlefield.

[...]

As immortal Qi, demonic Qi, and an energy that is akin to spirit energy exudes from Hua Luo's body he looks towards the Asura Monarch's general direction.

[Quasi-Dao Luo of immortal, demon, and an unknown origin is it? A rare sight indeed but just how long are you able to maintain that level of power?]

[Enough to achieve my desired results.]

[...]

As the yin and yang energy that shrouds the Asura Monarch dissipates the figure of a ten-tailed fox in human form stands to the far distance of Hua Luo.

Despite how badly damaged the Asura Monarch's body had been prior to this there wasn't a hint of it to be seen on his person now.

*Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!* as streams of black and white lightning manifests beneath the Asura Monarch's feet a scalp numbing weight of pressure crashes down from above!

Standing at the center of this lightning sea the Asura Monarch who is known to have command over all forms of lightning truly befits his image as the incarnation of heaven and earths' eye of judgment.

(...)

Having confronted the Yaksha Monarch before Ye Gui Feng instinctively compared the current Asura Monarch to the former and to his concern the Asura Monarch's current air is actually stronger to the Yaksha Monarch.

[First is Yi and now you who is one of Mò Yè Zi's (末页子) four special incarnations.]

Mo Ye Zi, the name of the original Half-Monarch who spawned Ye Can, Dao Mo, Ye Tian Xie, and Hua Luo in his final moments.

[It feels like today is just full of surprises for someone as long-lived as I am. Now then...]

As a gleam of cold radiance flashes from the Asura Monarch's eyes he looks to the far left.

[Chóng Tiānzi (崇天子) enough hiding. Even if I leave an opening in my stance I would still be able to counter you with ease in my current state.]

[Hmph.]

*...!!!!!!!* as a cold snort is picked up by the ears of the Asura Monarch and Hua Luo an overwhelming wave of heat descends and to their side a ball of flames manifests into being!

Rapidly this ball of fire expands until it becomes a solar body and from this body the figure of a young man dressed in a set of gold and purple imperial robes emerged.

On the young man's forehead is a glowing sigil of fire and emanating from his body is the energy that is unique to Absolute Laws.

(Tiān Shén Zhǔzǎi (天神主宰 Meaning: Divine Monarch) is it?)

Seeing the Divine Monarch, Chong Tianzi Hua Luo inwardly smiles in a scheming manner. From his point of view this situation is almost far too perfect.

[I'll ask you to the same thing you asked this mortal. How long can you maintain this level of power?]

[Then I'll give you the same answer as he did, enough to achieve my desired results.]

Just from this exchange alone it becomes clear that these two aren't friendly with one another.

[I'm assuming this world we're currently in must have been created from your Absolute Law, Dreaming Back to the Ancient Times? All of us knows just how unstable that law is so why have you used it against this mortal?]

[Originally I merely wanted to see my legion members alive again but now...]

A smile of amusement forms on the Asura Monarch's face as he looks to Chong Tianzi with both interest and killing intent.

Wanting to fight alongside those of his legion again was the spur of the moment desire that prompt the Asura Monarch into enacting this Absolute Law.

But after his enactment of this law another desire appeared in his heart as a result of his memories being in a fragmented state and that was-

[I wonder what would happen in the present if I kill you here.]

As he is experiencing this world forged from his fragmented memories the Asura Monarch has gradually started to remember a few things.

(What's lost is something that shall never return.)

The person who had said those words wasn't Chong Tianzi alone; there was a second person who had said them and the chances of that person making an appearance in this artificial world is very likely.

With his power being in an unstable state the Asura Monarch knew that any of his actions can lead to unpredictable consequences.

But his Absolute Law, Dreaming Back to the Ancient Times was always prone to produce odd results when used.

If that is the case he might as well make a wager.

[Will the odd effects of my Absolute Law end up changing history and giving me back all the things I've lost that day?]

Kill Chong Tianzi and kill the second person who said those words to him in this world and hope that his Absolute Law will create a somewhat ideal result in the present era.
