道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

894

[You used the memories you've inherited from Mo Ye Zi's as a means to bring yourself a sense of comfort and security. Normally I would most certainly say that's a pathetic means to label yourself with value but... I can somewhat related to your circumstances. Come then, let me witness the beauty of your final moments not as an incarnation of an old foe but as the individual known as Hua Luo.]

[I wonder just how long you'll actually be able to keep your composure.]

As Hua Luo's eyes give off a chilling gleam the spirit blade glows with a shine of emerald colored radiance that is brimming with life energy.

With the attention of everyone drawn to the spirit blade Hua Luo lowers his right arm in the next instance.

*!!!* following the drop of Hua Luo's arm the spirit blade falls as it carries with its heavy descent a powerful force of crushing pressure that homes in on Ji Di Tian!

In the blink of an eye the spirit blade cuts into the sea of myriad colored lightning that stood over Ji Di Tian's head and-

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle!* upon its entry into the lightning sea streams of electric energy erupts in the manner of a furious dragon whose reverse scale had been touched upon!

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle!* as scarring streaks of lightning slices across the spirit blade's body cracks begin to form on its crystal casing.

*Kakakakakakakakakakakakakaka!!!!!* with how rampant the damage is spreading it becomes questionable as to whether the spirit blade will even be able to reach Ji Di Tian with half of its body intact.

*Kakakakakaka!!!* but almost as soon as this concern is called into question the crystal casing breaks off to reveal a second layer beneath the first!

Unlike the first layer this layer of crystal casing gives off the grim air of death Qi causing the incoming bolts of lightning to darken upon their approach.

(With the addition of his own death Qi stacked on top of the existing mass even these bolts of lightning can be weakened?)

Noticing how much damage the lightning bolts would leave on the second layer being less significant than the amount the first layer would sustain when hit Ji Di Tian narrows his eyes in thought.

(Life, death, reincarnation, and Absolute Laws... Once this second layer breaks off there are two more layers to go through.)

With the first layer giving off the essence of life energy while the second layer giving off the essence of death Qi Ji Di Tian concludes that there are still two more layers left once this second layer is broken through.

(The most effective layer to harm me with has to be the final layer. In that case the first three are all but a means to shield the last. But...)

Pausing in his thoughts for a brief instance Ji Di Tian casts his common logic aside.

(Is probably what he wishes for me to think. If I used common sense to try and figure out his plans I would only be putting myself under his control.)

The crystal casing that covers the spirit blade at this time had been formed of the remaining walls that hadn't been destroyed during his initial attack against those who are here. This is something that Ji Di Tian hasn't forgotten about.

(The core of this blade is spirit energy. Normally I needn't concern myself with anything other than the power related to Absolute Laws but...)

Recalling the scene of his black flames being corroded by the azure colored spirit energy Ji Di Tian becomes far more wary of the blade's core than the other layers that are meant to encase it.

If the azure colored spirit energy is able to corrode a manifestation of his Absolute Law it should also be capable of harming him.

(Has he realized it?)

From the very beginning Hua Luo had little faith that he could hope to hide his plan from Ji Di Tian but-

(So what if he figures it out? In his current predicament his options are limited.)

Even if the latter does manage to notice his plans what means did they have other than to tackle it head-on?

(No matter. Experiencing it with my own body will probably be the fastest means I have to understand what that spirit energy is.)

With this thought in mind Ji Di Tian stores his flute away and clenches his hands into fists while keeping his gaze locked-onto the spirit blade's cutting edge that is gradually closing in from above.

[.........]

From the fall of the spirit blade until now less than five seconds had gone by but for Ji Di Tian who is on the receiving end of this attack the flow of time had felt a lot slower than what it should be as he begins to raise his right fist upwards.

*...!!!!!!!!!* matching the instance in which the spirit blade would enter the range of his fist Ji Di Tian stands his ground and bears the full brunt of spirit blade's descent as he smashes his fist against it on the sixth second's arrival!

*Kakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka!!!!!* having been met with Ji Di Tian's fist cracks spread rampantly on the second layer of crystal casing and within the blink of an eye the second layer shatters to reveal the third layer!

*...!!!!!!!!!* even before the third layer can hope to emit any kind of energy related to the powers of reincarnation Ji Di Tian immediately raises his left fist and proceeds to shatter it on the seventh second's arrival!

[...]

Just as Ji Di Tian is preparing to strike for the third time-

*Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle! CRACKLE! Crackle!* the deafening noise of merciless lightning explodes in volume as more than a hundred lightning bolts showers down from above and lands onto his body causing blood to erupt from his wounds!

With one's body covered in such heavy wounds any lifeform regardless of them being a powerful practitioner or not should have died the moment these lightning bolts had struck them but-

[...]

*...!!!!!* seemingly unable to feel the sensation of pain Ji Di Tian delivers his third strike on the eighth second's arrival and shatters the third layer of crystal casing to reveal the final layer that instantaneously lashes out at him with the power of Absolute Laws!
