道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

[...]

On the surface there may not have been anymore issues between them but the air continues to remain tense as Ye Gui Feng stands in front of the plain courtyard that is located in the far distance while positioned in front of him is the Asura Monarch.

[...]

[...]

It goes without saying that Yi and the demonic self are both present but compared to the demonic self who shows a clear hint of hostility towards the Asura Monarch Yi maintains a more carefree air about him.

[...]

Looking past Ye Gui Feng and towards the mundane courtyard an uneasy air of tense descends upon Xiao Ju Hong causing her to hide Xiao Lian behind her.

[...]

Choosing not to linger on the two for long the Asura Monarch momentarily shifts his gaze towards Die Fei before moving his eyes onto the demonic self.

Towards this existence that is born of the Yaksha Monarch's blood the Asura Monarch can't help but feel a tinge of interest towards their potential future.

However, this interest didn't burn for long as the Asura Monarch turns around in preparation to leave.

Now that the knot in his heart has been untied there is a mountain of tasks that he must do in the present era.

[Leaving?]

Breaking the tension filled silence is Yi and towards the suddenness of his actions both Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self shoots him an unpleasant glance.

Towards the two's way of looking at him Yi inwardly shrugs his shoulders as he felt a strange sense of nostalgia towards their unpleasant gazes.

At the same time he can naturally detect the hint of wariness that is directed against him by both Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self.

Towards the twos' wariness Yi can only let them be for if he was in their position he would also be rather vigilant against someone as mysterious as himself under these circumstances.

[I'm no longer interested in the Dao Lotus. But... Greed has always been an innate part of you all.]

[True, but I doubt there'll be many willing to touch her in the future. Though the same cannot be said about you. No doubt there will be plenty of people interested in your throne.]

[And I shall welcome their greed with warmth should they be worthy of it.]

[But what if they aren't willing to take up your responsibilities?]

A confident smirk tinged with a hint of cruel playfulness appears on the Asura Monarch's face as he answers-

[Do you truly think they will be able to neglect those responsibilities after inheriting what should have been originally one of the remaining nines? You're welcomed to try it as well if that is your wish.]

[I'll pass. I'd probably feel bad for the one to inherit it.]

[Hua Luo, your master...]

Hearing Hua Luo's name being brought up a somewhat stern expression appears on Yi's face.

[I'm impressed by his persistence.]

[I take it that you acknowledge him then?]

[It's rather difficult to forget the name of someone who can create a curse of that degree.]

Having said these words the Asura Monarch takes one step forward and under the eyes of those behind him he merges with the starry heavens around them.

[...]

[...]

[...]

*...............* as silence returns to loom in the air the world around the group distorts and as this distortion intensifies the sceneries of the starry heaven begins to dissipate.

Almost like a layer of dried ink being washed off an unstainable surface a dark sky comes into being and feeling a solid piece of earth to rest their feet on the group gradually finds themselves standing about in the middle of a barren wasteland that was originally a tree filled forest.

[...]

Sweeping his eyes across the barren field the demonic self lowers his tension filled shoulders before looking towards the direction of the 350 weapon spirits.

Although these weapon spirits showed no hostilities towards him and Ye Gui Feng the demonic self still felt a sense of wariness against them that stems from their indirect connections to Yi.

(Just what sort of dealings did this Yi and Duo Tian have with one another?)

The same sense of wariness towards the weapon spirits and Duo Tian is also shared by Ye Gui Feng.

However, if one were to compare the amount of wariness felt between Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self the former's would actually be higher and the cause of this is mainly because of Ye Gui Feng's ill experiences with weapon spirits.

[...]

[...]

Sparing the other a glance both Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self instinctively felt a sort of distaste for the other but under the circumstances they chose to ignore it for the time being.

[...]

Continuing to focus a portion of his attention on those that he is wary of Ye Gui Feng turns around and looks to the courtyard.

Immediately his eyes are drawn to the disorganized ring that surrounds its walls.

This ring's very existence along with the barrenness of this land all serves as solid proof of the battle that had taken place.

[Hmm.]

Ignoring the awkward tension that is like a keg of gunpowder placed near a fire source Yi spreads his divine senses outwards only to frown at his discoveries.

The flow of time in the outside world has maintained its frozen state with the area Yi and the others are in being the sole location that is unaffected.

[*Sigh* this entire world is in an unstable state right now because of multiple Absolute Laws clashing against each other. It probably won't return to normal for... At least 300 years.]

Making a series of difficult calculations in his head Yi gives out a rough estimation.

The stronger the practitioners that take part in a battle is the greater the effects they would have on their environment and in a battle between monarchs this sort of aftermath issue is probably a common occurrence.

[...]

[...]

Hearing this number both Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self also frowned in their inabilities to do anything to get the flow of time moving again.

"300 years was it?"

Almost as if a heavy mass had been thrown onto the surface of a calm lake both Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self can't help but turn their attention sharply to the sudden intruder.
