道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

[...]

Setting Ye Gui Feng to the side Hua Luo looks towards the direction of Ji Di Tian's confrontation with Chong Tianzi and Cang Xue.

If Ji Di Tian wasn't willing to engage them in the outside world on his own then they can only choose to drag him out into the opening through other means.

That was the plan Hua Luo and Yi had in mind when Ye Gui Feng and the others had chosen to enter the black hole and set up the teleportation array.

And having accomplished the first part of their plan by dragging Ji Di Tian out into the opening with his senses temporally in disarray-

[Uh...!]

It became the perfect opportunity for Chong Tianzi and Cang Xue to launch an ambush.

*!!!!!!!!* the moment the blade of cold Qi lands upon Ji Di Tian a soul chilling blast of frigid air erupts in the form of a billowing frost cloud!

Trapped inside of this cloud with cold Qi piercing into his body through his opened pores Ji Di Tian loses his senses for pain as layers of frost forms over his flesh and spreads to cover him from head to toe!

[...]

Things didn't end there as the Asura Monarch appears over Ji Di Tian's head and waves his right hand to instantly summon a formation of blades to surround the latter.

*...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...!* without giving Ji Di Tian any time to react to the situation the blades transformed into a series of light streaks as they shot forth in the next instance!

*...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...!* with every flash that goes off a laceration wound would appear on Ji Di Tian's frost covered body!

Looking from afar this made it seem as if Ji Di Tian had become a block of ice that is being shaven down at a gradual rate!

[...!]

*Kakakakakakakakaka...* under the unending assault of blades Ji Di Tian can faintly pick up on the sound of his body breaking apart as the essences of lightning and Chong Tianzi's Absolute Laws continue to bleed outwards.

[.........]

Falling into silence Ji Di Tian allows the blades to chip away at him as his frost covered body is slowly divided into pieces.

[...Nce...'t...te...se...ws...rly...I...st...'t...th...r...]

[...!]

[...!]

From a bystander's point of view it might have seen as if the three monarchs had obtained the upper hand in this battle but as their survival instincts warned them of impending danger the complexions of the Asura Monarch, Chong Tianzi, and Cang Xue pales abruptly.

"Since I can't assimilate with these laws properly, I just won't bother," despite the whispering volume in which Ji Di Tian had uttered these words the three monarchs had heard what he said clearly and in response to it they quickly backed away from him.

*...!* with one final flash Ji Di Tian's head is separated from his upper body, yet not a hint of joy could be felt by the three monarchs as the uncaring expression on Ji Di Tian's face is a clear indication that this battle is far from over.

.........

[...]

For a brief instance silence hangs in the air but the tension in the atmosphere was far more suffocating than ever before.

*...!* and this tension only worsens as the divided portions of Ji Di Tian's body bursts into flames.

(Are these flames...)

(Refinement?)

Realizing what these flames are doing a feeling of bad premonition is ignited in the hearts of the three monarchs and this uneasy feeling continues to worsen as-

*... ... ... ... ... ...* phantom bodies manifest to surround Ji Di Tian.

Getting a glimpse of the ghostly figure's faces the three monarchs felt their scalps throbbing in pain.

[This is...]

[Am I hallucinating or is this...?]

[...This isn't a dream if that's what you want to ask.]

A sense of helplessness dampens the mood of the three monarchs as a portion of the ghostly figures turned their eyes in their direction.

As for those that didn't turn around they rotated their cultivation bases to raise the speed at which the flames are refining the scattered pieces of Ji Di Tian's body.

[I was hoping that just one of my Dao shadows would be enough to deal with this matter, but I have clearly underestimated all of you.]

Simultaneously the ghostly figures spoke in union and though the words spoken by them had been simple each of the three monarchs felt as if they had been reduced to mere mortals with a blade waiting to fall upon their necks.

Though everyone here had assumed that Ji Di Tian had been fighting them with his true body the former never did gave them a vocal confirmation.

[Dao shadow?]

Seeing this sight Ye Gui Feng can't help but wish that his head is still clouded so that he may dismiss all this as nothing more an illusion.

[One of his special laws. Ordinary clones are utterly worthless to a monarch as they are unable to use the Absolute Laws of the original so they wouldn't be of any help in actual combat. But a Dao shadow is different. Each shadow is created using the essences of the original's Absolute Law as a foundation but... That's not to say that this law is completely flawless. Since each shadow is created using the essences of one or more laws as their foundation the original won't have access to these laws until they fuse with themselves with the shadow again.]

Despite how unexpected this development is Hua Luo didn't show any signs of panicking.

The matter-of-fact tone he used to explain this law's abilities and flaws to Ye Gui Feng made it seem as if he had been anticipating it.

[Give me the arm.]

Looking down at his right hand Ye Gui Feng suddenly realized that he was still holding onto Ji Di Tian's corroded arm that was torn off during his retreat.
