道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

[They are nothing more than a tool meant for Us to interact with the outside world.]

As an androgynous voice comes from within the colossal structure the Asura Monarch immediately places a few hundred meters' worth of distance to separate himself from it.

[This is...?]

Being able to see the entirety of this structure that possesses the form of an egg the conclusion that dawned upon Ji Di Tian also appears in the Asura Monarch's head but compared to the former who held a trace of excitement there was only fear in the latter's eyes.

(This thing shouldn't exist in our world and yet...)

The bottom half of this colossal structure is surrounded by walls of ocean like glossiness while its upper half is either wrapped by a dense layer of fur or made entirely out of it.

[As I thought.]

Seeing the egg like structure Ji Di Tian is even more certain about the conclusion he had drawn.

This colossal structure is none other than-

[Be they weapons that are held by the hands of powerful practitioners or immortal pills meant for consumption; within this plane of heaven and earth there are many tales of mundane objects gaining sentience during creation or over the passage of time.]

*...!* consolidating their form in front of the egg like structure is a sphere of light and with each word spoken by the androgynous voice the clearer their appearance became.

[Weapon spirits, pill spirits, tsukumogamis, there are many names to call such spiritual forms of life whose main body is an inanimate object.]

A demonic sense of beauty that can captivate any regardless of gender.

Purple eyes that can seemingly absorb the soul of any that looks into them.

Ten black fox tails.

White robes that enhances the regal bearings of a proper emperor.

Compared to the previous incarnation of Duo Tian that was a child this one possesses an older appearance and corresponding to their aged vessel's form the air of power that emanates from this newly formed body is noticeably greater.

"We are but one of many such spiritual lifeforms that originates from an inanimate object. But what differentiates Us from them is the fact that We are the sole monarch level Divine Armament that exists within this plane of heaven and earth. In other words..."

As tension looms over the air the 350 weapon spirits kneeled towards the androgynous figure.

"We are the absolute monarch that reigns over all spiritual lifeforms of the same root."

Much like how mortals must show absolute respects to a divine figure that stands far above their understandings these weapon spirits are instinctively made to show the same degree of respects to this entity for they are the physical manifestation of the world's only monarch level Divine Armament.

[This egg like structure is your true form is it not?]

"Indeed, and this flesh is but another tool for Us to use."

Raising his right hand Wang Nian appears in Duo Tian's grip and with it in hand he sweeps a cold gaze over Ji Di Tian.

"Foolish monarch of old your intentions of wanting to obtain Us is as clear as day-"

Although Ji Di Tian doesn't have any idea as to how this monarch level Divine Armament had come into being the more he looked at it the clearer his intentions of wanting to obtain it became.

As one of the ten Original Monarchs there truly aren't that many objects in this plane of heaven and earth that can incite his greed however, a monarch level Divine Armament is definitely one of the few things that can for not even his flute and medallion are actually considered worthy of being described as monarch level treasures.

At best Ji Di Tian's signature treasures can only be described as false monarch level Divine Armaments due to them having been influenced by him over the passage of time.

"And for that-"

*...!* soundlessly Duo Tian appears right in front of Ji Di Tian and faster than the latter can react to the abruptness of this attack a clean cut is layered over the latter's previous wound!

[...!]

As pain courses through Ji Di Tian's body an expression of disbelief replaces all traces of the original excitement that he held over the discovery of this monarch level Divine Armament.

Holding in the urge to spew out blood Ji Di Tian immediately distance himself from Duo Tian as harsh realization pours down on his head like a bucket of cold water.

What does it mean for one to be a "monarch level Divine Armament?"

Amongst these four words one mustn't obsess over the last two and should pay more focus on the words "monarch level" for these two words meant that the spiritual lifeform born from the armament is akin to a genuine monarch in strength.

In other words-

"As incomplete as We are, We are still an existence equal to the original ten."

Hearing these words the Asura Monarch obtained the necessary confirmation for his feelings of fear. He may not know why Duo Tian considers himself to be incomplete but there was no denying that the air emanating from his current body is no different from a genuine monarch.
