道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

(All I have to do is make an attack.)

A simple task that could be done with little to no thinking involved.

With Ji Di Tian stuck in his current predicament in which he is forced to hold back Hua Luo's attack he had little to no room to evade a wide scaled attack.

All that is required to push him further into a corner or even give him a fatal wound would be a secondary attack that can knock him off balance.

But despite how simplistic the task is with him in possession of the means to perform it Chong Tianzi can't help but feel a sense of doubt in his heart.

(Knowing him...)

Despite feeling a sense of elation at having felt the movements of Chong Tianzi's Absolute Law in rotation Ji Di Tian calms down quickly for he knew exactly just what sort of existence he is to Chong Tianzi.

As the latter's goal he appears as an insurmountable mountain in the former's eyes and this meant that-

(He will no doubt feel hesitant when trying to launch an attack against me and question whether or not-)

(Will attacking him now truly put an end to him? Or... Would it give him a chance to turn everything around?)

Reading Chong Tianzi's mind like an open book Ji Di Tian felt an odd sense of amusement.

The situation Chong Tianzi is faced with is similar to that of a human scholar undergoing an imperial exam.

Though they possess the answer to the final question they didn't know whether their answer is right or wrong causing them to feel hesitant in putting it down and risk the consequences of having their final score lowered.

(Well it matters little. Once the seventh blade falls that should be more than enough to fulfil my plan and should he not take that one step forward before then... I would truly be disappointed.)

In some ways the expectations Ji Di Tian held for Chong Tianzi is akin to that of an older brother expecting their younger sibling to be better than them.

(Chong Tianzi this is why your goal of surpassing me and Tian Huang is but a pipe dream. Not only are you not decisive enough but you are also just as lacking in valor. If you don't even have the courage to attack me when I'm cornered what rights do you have to challenge us in the first place?)

(I...)

Recalling the words said by Ji Di Tian a sense of irritation pricks at Chong Tianzi's heart.

(Every single person's heart has an inner demon. Not even a monarch is exempt from this.)

[...]

Hearing Cang Xue's voice in his head Chong Tianzi frowns.

[What are you suggesting then?]

(It doesn't matter if the answer is right or wrong. What matters is whether or not you're willing to take the first step to challenge that inner demon. But you already know this don't you?)

[So you're telling me to deal with the possible consequences? How unreliable your words are...]

Though he felt somewhat displeased by Cang Xue's suggestion Chong Tianzi manages to clear his head.

From Chong Tianzi's understanding of Ji Di Tian it didn't feel right for the latter to die from such an encirclement.

(Although that human's attack is powerful it shouldn't be powerful enough to the degree that Di Tian can't break it. The only reason he chose not to is probably because he is waiting for something.)

Assessing the situation from Ji Di Tian's own point of view Chong Tianzi immediately begins to think of several ways to deal with the case of having the tables turned against him.

[Cang Xue prepare to support me the moment you see a sign of the lightning sea dissipating.]

(Fine.)

With his arrangements made Chong Tianzi raises his right hand and thrusts it forward in the manners of pushing open a gate.

*!!!* from the palm of Chong Tianzi's right hand a golden handprint is fired off and as it approaches Ji Di Tian's direction it quickly begins to expand in size.

*Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!* in a single breath's worth of time the golden handprint grows to a size capable of flattening an entire mountain and as it enters the lightning sea streams of electric energy quickly engulfs it!

*...!!! ...!!! ...!!!* shrouded by lightning the sound of muffled explosions can be heard coming from within the golden handprint!

As ripples appear on the handprint's surface it releases a powerful force of attraction that begins to devour the portions of the lightning sea it comes into contact with resulting in the further expansion of its growth!

*...!!!!!!!!* within seconds the size of the handprint out scales the entirety of the lightning sea and emanating with a greater force of power it continues to press towards Ji Di Tian without delay!

At that moment-

[I'm glad that you didn't let me down.]

*!!!!!!* along with Ji Di Tian's voice an odd sound goes off prior to the manifestation of a black hole!

Occupying the center of the lightning sea the black hole rotates with great ferocity as it stirs the entirety of the sea into turning.

Upon closer inspection one can tell that the lightning sea is gradually shrinking in size with every revolution performed by the black hole.

[Is this what you had planned? Even for you consuming all this in one go will surely result in your own destruction.]

Realizing Ji Di Tian's plan Chong Tianzi was just about to take a step forward however-

*!!!!!* an unprecedented air of suppressive might erupts from Ji Di Tian in the same instance making it seem as if he had been holding back the rotation of his cultivation base this entire time!

[It's understandable that you'd find my current actions laughable. But this is far from an act of desperation.]
