道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

Air of Artificiality

The sight before Ye Gui Feng, Ming Xiao Luo, and Bai Yuechu is something that causes their scalps to turn numb.

Powerful blasts of numerous demonic and magic techniques went off continuously to no end as practitioners of various species fought the other with expressions of viciousness on their faces.

This is a grand war that takes place in the outer heavens and the scale of this battle is most definitely the biggest that Ye Gui Feng has seen yet.

Island sized asteroids float about and should they get near the vicinity of two practitioners in battle then they would readily be reduced into puffs of white mist due the shockwaves that are produced from the exchange of their attacks.

The battlefield from a bird's eye view can only be described as chaotic without any hint of organization.

Not a single practitioner within this battlefield dared to celebrate early after defeating their enemies for they would quickly move on before they can become the target of someone else during their weakened state.

The sight of severed limbs and heads floating about isn't too uncommon as everywhere a person goes there would surely be the remains of a fallen practitioner's proof of existence.

The fierceness of this war that is being fought between two different forces of power gives one the impression that the participants of this war would never come to a compromise and one side must fall for this battle to come to an end.

[The courtyard.]

The first thought that crosses Ye Gui Feng's mind under this situation is the courtyard as he turns around with an anxious expression on his face.

[There.]

Sweeping his eyes through the area Ye Gui Feng quickly finds the plain courtyard. At this time it looks like a miniature island as it fits onto a small piece of land that is just floating out in the midst of this vast sea of stars.

Immediately Ye Gui Feng flies over to land onto the house's roof and sets up several defensive magic arrays on top of what it already has.

Carrying the Ancient Immortal Spear Miao Xiao Lin and the others quickly get inside of the courtyard as well.

[Hm?]

Constricting his eyes while looking towards the directions of the heated war Ye Gui Feng felt that something is off.

All the practitioners within this war possesses a strange air about them.

Although these practitioners live and breathe they do not feel entirely "real."

One might consider them to be nothing more than illusions because of this air that they give off and yet it also wouldn't be entirely correct to think of them as such.

Similarly this entire battlefield possesses the same sort of "artificial" air about it.

[...]

Looking towards the far distance Ye Gui Feng sees the figure of the demonic self with the colossal phantom of a masked Yaksha behind his back.

At the opposing end of the demonic self is the figure of the Asura Monarch who is a few thousand meters away.

Compared to his ghostly appearance that didn't have a proper face from before the current Asura Monarch looks a lot more corporeal as one can make out the details of his clothing with less effort along with a bit more of his facial features.

[What is the meaning of this?]

Looking towards the Asura Monarch with narrowed eyes the demonic self raises this question to him.
