道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

917

[One Blink Equates to an Eon's Passage.]

As the violent force of Yuzao Qian's divine sense sweeps outwards and passes through the world sealing orbs that are on the verge of detonating themselves-

*...! ...! ...! ...! ...!* magic circles with a design that is akin to the face of a clock covers the surface of each orb and following this time comes to a permanent halt.

Along with the occurrence of this odd phenomenon an eerie sense of silence looms in the air as the sound of Ji Di Tian's flute turns mute but rather quickly-

*Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.* the rhythmic ticking generated by the movements of a clock's hands breaks the eerie tranquility.

It goes without saying that this sound that is slowly assimilating with the pace of a person's heartbeat originates from each of the clock-faced magic circles and as the movement of the hands hasten-

*Kakaka...* cracks form on each world sealing orb as the world reflected on the surface of their bodies undergo a series of rapid changes.

This abnormal change is similarly to watching the entirety of a world's lifespan being played out before one's eyes.

If each world started out as an infant thriving with life then under the flow of accelerated time this infant has quickly begun to age towards the appearance they would have as an elderly man who could barely keep their back straight under the support of their fragile legs.

*Kakakakaka...* as the earth reflected on each orb went from a field of grass to a field that is devoid of life the cracks that are forming on each orb widens in size until the entirety of the orb's body breaks into pieces.

*...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...! ...!* demonstrating a domino effect more orbs follow the first as the corrosive nature of time's merciless flow continues its work and-

*...!* upon the final orb's destruction the flow of time that was halted by Yuzao Qian begins to show a sign of movement but-

[...!]

Before the leash that is held over time is released completely the entirety of Yuzao Qian's divine sense is concentrated onto a single spot and from there dark mist that is similar to a patch of black flames is ignited in the air.

From within this dark mist Ji Di Tian's body gradually comes into being as he is forcefully dragged out of hiding.

From the moment Ji Di Tian had vanished up until this point not a lot of time had passed.

However, judging by the current appearance of Ji Di Tian that looks no better than a corpse that had just crawled out of its coffin it seems as if a million years' worth of time was just forcefully tacked onto his body from the invisible assault of Yuzao Qian's divine sense that contains the corrosive effect of time's passage.

[...]

Without letting this chance go Yuzao Qian approaches the weakened Ji Di Tian in one step while stabbing his nine phantom tails forward!

Faced with Yuzao Qian's incoming assault Ji Di Tian who was fiercely rotating his cultivation base to dispel the effects of the former's divine sense on his body raises his right hand that is holding onto the bamboo flute.

*...!* as the demon-faced medallion gives off an eerie red shine from its eyes it opens it maw and releases an ear-piercing screech!

(This flute and medallion truly are worthy of being an Original Monarch's signature set of weapons...)

Narrowing his eyes Yuzao Qian immediately notices that his phantom body has begun to show a sign of instability and the closer he got to Ji Di Tian the greater this instability would become.

(By the time I get to him I will probably only have just barely enough time to get one hit in before this body breaks apart.)

Reacting to the situation quickly Yuzao Qian opens a rift that leads into his storage space and from within this rift a metal medallion emerges.

[This is...?]

A frown appears on Ji Di Tian's face at the sight of this metal medallion.

Although the medallion was lacking in detail it still resembles his own demon-faced medallion in shape.

[You're not wrong. This is a replica of your Sacrificial Heaven Seal.]

Grabbing the replica medallion Yuzao Qian directs it towards Ji Di Tian and similar to the original the medallion the replica also opens its lower half and releases an ear-piercing screech!

*Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!! Chi...!!!* as the ear-piercing screech that came from both medallions clashed a series of buzzing sounds rapidly goes off!

Amidst this exchange between the two medallions that seems to be equal in strength Yuzao Qian's phantom body begins to stabilize whereas for Ji Di Tian his time corroded body has also begun to show signs of recovering back to its original state.

[A mere replica dares to challenge the genuine article?]

[If it beats the genuine article it becomes the original doesn't it?]

Towards Yuzao Qian's reply Ji Di Tian snorts in contempt as he pours more strength into the medallion causing its screech to increase in volume.

Following after Ji Di Tian Yuzao Qian does the same and for a brief instance the stalemate of the two medallions continued until-

*Kakaka...!* an evident crack appears on the replica medallion that is held by Yuzao Qian.

[Regardless of how talented that woman is she couldn't possibly hope to replicate a monarch's life treasure.]

[If I were you I wouldn't underestimate her.]
