道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

[Make way.]

[Same words as before. This path doesn't allow passage.]

Clapping the folded fan onto the palm of his left hand a powerful wave of divine sense emanates from Yuzao Qian's phantom body and washes over Ji Di Tian like a flood.

Faced with Yuzao Qian's reply along with the pressure that came from the former's divine sense Ji Di Tian directs his right hand forward and immediately the black flames beneath his feet gathers before him in the form of a swirling vortex.

Distortion created from the flame's scorching heat blurs the area around Ji Di Tian and feeling this heat on his back-

"I suppose I need to speed the process up."

Duo Tian mutters to himself as he keeps his eyes on the two celestial bodies.

Ten suns, ten moons, and ten Heavens, this is the path that Duo Tian had chosen to walk on his journey to the realm of a genuine monarch and all of it will begin with the First Heaven that shall be created from the two celestial bodies before him.

(*Sigh* if possible I really do wish to do this in a more peaceful setting but...)

The chances of that happening is slim even if he were to conduct the refinement process somewhere else as a major event like this is prone to draw the attention of the Original Monarchs.

"..."

Forming a rough estimate as to how much time Yuzao Qian and Akatuosi will be able to buy for him a gleam of decisiveness flashes from Duo Tian's purple eyes.

Having severed these celestial bodies' connection to Ji Di Tian they were no longer something that would last for a prolonged period of time.

Choosing to maintain the celestial bodies' connection to Ji Di Tian throughout the refinement process was never an option as one wave of the latter's hand is all that it would take to erase his work.

Above all these celestial bodies were constructed within the confines of the Asura Monarch's Absolute Law. This has forcefully established a connection that is difficult to severed as the sun and moon is now a part of this artificial world.

Should this world vanish for any reason stealing the celestial bodies and storing them away for use later is all but meaningless.

"15 minutes."

As the decisiveness in Duo Tian's eyes intensify he eventually gives out his estimate on how much time it would take for him to finish the refinement process.

[...]

Hearing the amount of time that Duo Tian has given Yuzao Qian frowns beneath his mask. How could the refinement process possibly take so little time to accomplish?

[You're using the gambling method?]

"No reason not to under these circumstances. Besides it's not gambling when my odds are a hundred percent."

Confidence that gave one no room for doubt can evidently be picked up in the tone of Duo Tian's voice as he said those words.

[...Very well then.]

Just as Yuzao Qian replies Ji Di Tian waves his right hand and sends a spiraling pillar of dark flames towards the former.

Amidst the black flames' approach it quickly takes on the form of a black dragon with a messy array of fangs and as this dragon raises a deafening howl a powerful force of suction comes from its maws!

[...]

Sensing his body being dragged towards the maws of the black dragon Yuzao Qian reaches his left hand into the voids and from within a pocket dimension that is used mainly for storage he draws out a hardcovered book.

Opening the book and ripping one of its pages out Yuzao Qian ignites the page in ashen flames before tossing it towards the black dragon.

An odd sight greets the eyes as the burning piece of parchment approaches the black dragon.

On the blank surface of the paper a swirling vortex that resembles an eye manifests and as this eye begins to rotate the black dragon is forcefully manipulated to perform the same action and under the bewilderment of Ji Di Tian the black dragon is gradually devoured into the paper to form a moving painting.

Waving his hand Yuzao Qian retrieves the paper and extinguishes the flames before reattached it to the book in a simplistic manner.

[Do you intend to study my flames?]

[And what if I am? There's no need for us to play games with one another. Do your worse.]

Storing the book away Yuzao Qian gives Ji Di Tian a taunting gleam from his eyes.

[15 minutes was it?]

Looking towards the two celestial bodies that have turned corporeal and are now showing a sign of merging together Ji Di Tian didn't think for a second that this was Duo Tian's honest estimation.

(At the rate this is going I have less than ten minutes.)

Patterns that are akin to those of a handprint appears behind Ji Di Tian and as ten pillars protrude from this structure the shape of a disfigured hand can be made out.

The structure of this hand clearly doesn't belong to that of a human for it possesses nine fingers with a thumb protruding from its wrist.

And the most disturbing part of this hand would be the giant eye that is planted in the center of its palm.

Compared to the rest of the hand this eye is the only thing that isn't in a corporeal state and its presence gives off the impression that this hand wasn't supposed to be a part of another living creature but was in fact the shape of an odd monster's main body.

Looking at the blood veins that cover its sclera one can see that the end of these veins are connected to the tip of a handprint making this thing's already disturbing appearance even more eerie.

(Attempting to step pass him would take far too much time but-)

[...?]

Without giving Yuzao Qian any time to identity the unknown creature's origin the monster's eye releases a flash of purple radiance!

For an instance the entirety of this world seemingly comes to a standstill as not a single person-

(That wouldn't be an issue so long as I am able to halt his movements and awareness.)

Other than Ji Di Tian is capable of movement and with absolute ease he rushes pass Yuzao Qian to stand behind the back of Duo Tian.
