道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

887

[I'm asking both you and the uninvited guest.]

A clear sense of hostility can be felt from Ji Di Tian's tone as he says these words.

[...]

Despite having done nothing to defend himself during the celestial bodies' collisions with one another Chong Tianzi didn't have a single wound on his body.

What's even stranger about his conditions at this time is the fact that the undulation of his cultivation base suggests that he has recovered most of his strength.

Whether or not Chong Tianzi is able to use his raiment yet is unknown but to Ji Di Tian who still possesses confidence in his strength that didn't matter much.

(He definitely holds some kind of big secret if he managed to get out of that unscathed.)

Taking notice of Chong Tianzi's conditions as well the Asura Monarch narrows his eyes.

Similarly-

[Is this maybe related to Ming Ye Chuan's words?]

[It's possible.]

Exchanging a glance with one another Yi and Hua Luo both thought of the conversation they had with Ming Ye Chuan in the distant past.

[*Sigh*]

Knowing that he won't be able to maintain his secret any longer Chong Tianzi sighs.

[Di Tian I truly do hold quite a bit of respect towards you. Not only are you powerful but you also possess the ability to think many steps ahead. So then let's say I've decided to ally myself with an outsider for the sake of surpassing you and Tian Huang what would you do?]

[Surpass us? You also wish to stand on your own, is that it?]

[You could say that.]

Judging by the smile of contempt that is on Ji Di Tian's face its clear that he didn't take Chong Tianzi's goal of surpassing him and Ji Tian Huang very seriously.

[Shall I take a guess at what it is that you've planned then?]

[...]

Knowing that Ji Di Tian's abilities to think and to scheme is practically peerless Chong Tianzi can't help but frown.

[That mysterious blood essence you're in possession of no matter how many excuses you can make to cover its origins it's quite clear that you've somehow made contact with a powerful person, a monarch that comes from outside of our domain. By acquiring their help and their insight that originates from a world that operates under a different set of laws you wish to find some way to increase your own strength.]

With a nonchalant air Ji Di Tian brings Chong Tianzi's plan out into the opening.

The latter has indeed made a deal with someone who had come from outside of their domain and has thus revealed to Chong Tianzi that there are a myriad number of worlds out in the ever-expanding heavens.

For someone who has spent much of their life in a single domain the thought of wanting to traverse into the greater seas is far too enticing of an opportunity to give up.

Even if it was Ji Di Tian himself-

No, perhaps it's more appropriate to say that it is precisely because of his own circumstances that he would also wish to covet such an opportunity should it land in his hand.

[I suppose trying to hide anything from you will always be a futile waste of effort.]

[You deserve some praise for having kept your contact hidden from me for so long and I do not fault you for wanting to surpass Tian Huang and I. If the passage of time has taught us anything then it's that we as sentient lifeforms will eventually become anxious when we've no goals to strive for.]

As the smile vanishes from Ji Di Tian's face an air of solemnness exudes from his body.

[Dreams and ideals are always wonderful, but reality shall always be cruel. Though I don't fault you for your plans that doesn't mean you are exempt from punishment. I'm also rather curious about what would happen if I kill you in Shura's Absolute Law. Will both you and the pest attached to you die in the real world as a result of it?]

Should that truly happen it would save a great deal of trouble in tracking Chong Tianzi down in the real world.

[...]

Despite giving off an air of leisure Chong Tianzi was already on guard against Ji Di Tian should the latter decide to launch a sudden attack but-

[You may have all survived the first wave but what about the second and the third?]

Nothing could have prepared any of those who are here for what Ji Di Tian did next.

As a cold gleam flashes from Ji Di Tian's eyes he places the flute to his lips and begins to play a tune that is reminiscence of a sacred hymn.

Under the influence of this hymn like melody the starry sceneries begin to distort.

(This is...?)

Each person felt a sense of dizziness as a discomforting sensation that couldn't be described with words spreads throughout their body.

At first not a single person knew what is really happening but as pieces of debris manifest at a rapid rate-

[This world's time is-]

[Being reversed.]

Both Chong Tianzi and the Asura Monarch felt their throats parched in the next instance as a familiar sense of heat engulfs the air around them.

Following the reappearance of this familiar heatwave the faint outlines of two spherically shaped bodies gradually come into being.

Similar to the way in which a puzzle would be pieced together the scattered pieces of debris begins to surround the spherically outlines.

And as more and more of these debris fit together it makes it obvious that the two bodies being put together are none other than the sun and moon that had collided with one another to propel the black flame's heat to a level that could threaten the Asura Monarch.

[Although you have the support of another monarch from outside our domain even they must have their limits. Once that limit is up I'll slowly extract the information I need if they survive.]

Having projected his thoughts to the ears of those who are here the reversal flow of time hastens and within the blink of an eye the scene of two celestial bodies that are about to crash into one another is revived!

With how fast everything had occurred not a single person was truly prepared to defend themselves against the incoming blast along with the black infernos that will follow.

[You may have the ability to destroy my flames but without a shield can you even hope to survive this blast?]

As Ji Di Tian throws the folded blade of spirit energy a casual glance the two celestial bodies were less than a hundred meters apart making their collision all but inevitable.

[...]

It is just as Ji Di Tian had said.

Even if Ye Gui Feng possessed the ability to destroy the former's dark flames could he hope to survive the initial blast of the celestial bodies' collision? Without being able to survive the first attack what use did his strength have?

With their eyes drawn to the gap that separates the two celestial bodies closing at a gradual rate each person felt a sense of helplessness in their hearts.

Even if they survive this second wave what about the third?

Judging by the words Ji Di Tian had said he was fully intent on repeating the celestial bodies' collision until they were thoroughly wiped away.
