道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

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

[You...]

As much as Chong Tianzi wanted to refute Ji Di Tian's claims he knew that he had already lost the argument for there truly wasn't a hint of desperation to be heard from the latter's voice.

[...]

As the lightning sea continues to shrink in size the figure of Ji Di Tian gradually becomes visible to the eyes of those who are gathered.

At the center of Ji Di Tian's chest is none other than the black hole that is currently devouring everything its gravitational pull is able to reach.

(So it does have an effect...)

Narrowing his eyes the Asura Monarch looks closely at Ji Di Tian's right hand that holding back the phantom blade.

Stretching up to Ji Di Tian's elbow is the same kind of azure corrosion that broken down his black flames but-

(Even if the seventh blade does fall wanting to break down a monarch's body seems like a stretch.)

It's clear that the azure colored spirit energy is indeed able to affect a monarch's body but if it wanted to have any chances of breaking down a monarch's body in a way that is similar to how it had broken down the manifestation of an Absolute Law it needed to be more refined and that is something that can only be done through the passage of time by continuously trying to solidify the foundation that caused it to come into being.

As Ji Di Tian continues to absorb the energy that makes up Chong Tianzi's handprint along with the energy that comes from the Asura Monarch's Absolute Law over lightning his body begins to deteriorate and-

*...! ...! ...! ...! ...!* with how abnormal the speed at which he is processing the energy he is absorbing blood bursts from every pore on Ji Di Tian's body drenching him in the colors of deep crimson!

Aside from his head practically every part of Ji Di Tian's body has become a mangled mess making him look like a monstrous abomination!

[Since your plan revolves around devouring all this energy-]

Fighting back against Ji Di Tian's suppressive pressure Chong Tianzi places his foot down as he appears behind the golden handprint and presses his right hand onto it.

[Let's see how much you can handle before you self-destruct!]

Rotating his cultivation base Chong Tianzi transfers more power into the golden handprint and-

*...!* being forced to apply more strength into his disfigured left arm that is holding the handprint back blood spews from Ji Di Tian's wounds as a portion of his broken bones stuck out from the mangled muscles!

[I'm actually just as curious about that.]

As the speed of the black hole's rotation increases spiraling distortions appear throughout the handprint's body and from these vortexes the energy that makes up its body are drawn out into the opening.

Almost as soon as the energy enters the air they are swallowed by the black hole and-

(He's spending a portion of the energy on healing.)

Perhaps realizing that he will not be able to endure should he continue his reckless actions Ji Di Tian spends a portion of the energy he absorbed on repairing his mangled body causing his flesh to show a sign of recovery but just as quickly they would show of sign of deterioration.

Having entered a state of endless revitalization and endless decay Ji Di Tian continues the process of assimilating with the Asura Monarch's Absolute Law over lightning however-

[Di Tian you...!]

Widening his eyes Chong Tianzi felt a tingling sense of numbness on his scalp causing his complexion to turn pale.

[Hmph since it's come down to this I don't see why I should be satisfied with just taking Shura's lightning.]

[You've gone mad!]

He didn't know how it was done but to his horror Chong Tianzi can feel the powers of his Absolute Law being drained from his body.

As soon as he felt this horrifying sensation Chong Tianzi immediately tries to pull his hand away from the golden handprint but as if his palm had been glued onto it he wasn't able to pull away no matter how much strength he exerts!

(If I leave this rift be...)

Looking between Chong Tianzi who is clearly in dire need of assistance and the dimensional rift Cang Xue thought for a moment before deciding to drop her control over the latter.

(Whatever happens happens.)

Observing the dimensional rift for any hint of change Cang Xue sees that it is still able to prevent the sun and moon from clashing on its own but just as she is about to leave it-

(This air...)

Staring into the dimensional rift's darkness Cang Xue felt a sense of familiarity coming from within it.

This familiarity immediately caused her to think of her homeland yet instead of being reminded of her fears towards that land's ruling monarch she actually felt a hint of comfort.

(No, it shouldn't be possible for a kinsman of my own species to appear in this world.)

Leaving the dimensional rift to its own devices completely Cang Xue appears by Chong Tianzi's side and presses her hand onto his forearm as she tries to separate him from the handprint and rather quickly-

[This is...!]

Cang Xue widens her eyes in astonishment as she realized the situation Chong Tianzi is facing.

[Sever it!]

With cold decisiveness Chong Tianzi brought this suggestion up to Cang Xue and in the amount of time that is needed to blink sword Qi reinforced with the power of Absolute Laws wrapped around Cang Xue's hand as she releases a chop that severs off Chong Tianzi's right hand!

[Tsk...!]

As pain assaults him Chong Tianzi draws in a stinging breath of cold air as he moves away from the handprint with Cang Xue.

[Smart move. But did you think severing your hand will resolve this crisis?]

*...!!!* the chilling voice of Ji Di Tian explodes right besides Chong Tianzi's ears as he sees the power of his Absolute Law seething out of his open wound.

[Hahahahaha! So this is lunacy? How refreshing it is...!]

*...! ...! ...! ...! ...!* as blood continues to burst from his pores Ji Di Tian raises a shrilled laughter and perhaps stimulated by the emotions that he is currently experiencing the black hole on his chest increases the rate of its revolutions per second!

At the same time its size begins to expand until it swallows up the entirety of Ji Di Tian's body!
