道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

妖术: 生死逆流

As the mist of chilling frost dissipates the figure of the demonic self that's been turned into a solid piece of stone is revealed.

The appearance of the demonic self in the form of a statue is somewhat odd due to the staggering number of needles that are present throughout his body.

[Is this it?]

The Asura Monarch inwardly sighs while shaking his head. If this is all that it would take to step pass this obstacle that stands before his wishes of wanting to obtain the Dao Lotus's Eternity then he is sourly disappointed.

Just as the Asura Monarch is about to take a step forward however-

[Hm?]

Looking closely towards the stone statue the Asura Monarch can't help but feel that something is off about it.

Even now the Asura Monarch can evidently feel a powerful source of demonic Qi coming from the statue.

This didn't make too much sense to the Asura Monarch when that statue should just be a solid piece of stone from the inside out now.

[...]

Having seen everything unfold from a distance Ye Gui Feng who is partially connected to the demonic self can somehow tell that he hasn't died just yet.

However, the essence of life given off by the demonic self is very faint almost as if it is a flickering flame that can be extinguished at any given moment in time.

...............

As an eerie sense of silence passes the Eyes of Origin and the Passionless Demonic Moon begins to fade into the backgrounds of the vast heaven's darkness.

Each of the four key members of the Asura Monarch's legion that surrounds the statue can also tell that there is something wrong about the situation as they continue to remain vigilant towards the enemy that should have been defeated.

*.........Kaka.* as the four draws in a breath of air a faint crack appears on the fossilized body of the demonic self.

Although this crack is barely visible the keen eyes of those that surrounds the statue can readily see it.

Almost as soon as this crack appears the young man with the scale covered arms moves in with the intent to destroy the entire statue in one hit!

[N...gh...!]

*Kakakakakaka!!* in the same instance as the young man approaches the layer of stone covering the left arm of the demonic self breaks apart!

[N...t...gh...!]

Raising his bloodied left arm that has more than 30 needles sticking out of it the demonic self stabs the Sha Luo Blood Sword towards the enemy in front of him as he forcefully breaks out of the stone shell that imprisons his body!

*Klang!* just as the Sha Luo Blood Sword is an inch away from impaling him through the heart the young man catches it with his right hand at the very last second!

Applying more strength into his grip the young man attempts to tear the weapon away from the demonic self.

*Rip!* the pull of the enemy didn't just tear the weapon away from the demonic self as his left hand is also torn off at the wrist!

The pain of having his left hand torn off with ease doesn't even register with the demonic self as blood flows out of the wound.

The color of this blood is black due to the poison that had corroded the flesh of the demonic self's body.

[Aaaaaaaaaahhh!!!]

As the demonic self raises a beast like howl he glares at the enemy in front of him with rage.

The current appearance of the demonic self can only be described as monster like. Not a single bit of skin covers his ruined body that had numerous needles sticking out of it. This kind of hideous appearance makes him seem as if he is a corpse that had just crawled out of its coffin.

[...]

Grinding his teeth together the demonic self's eyes gives off a light of insanity.

[Heh...]

Momentarily the demonic self smiles in a twisted manner. With his corpse like appearance at this time this smile only serves to make his face even more terrifying than before.

[** ***** ** ****! * **** ** *** * **** ** * ***** ***!]

"...!"

Widening his eyes the young man backs away immediately as the demonic self begins to enact another Absolute Law of the Yaksha Monarch's.

[** ******* ** ** ****** ********* ****! ***! ** ******! ******** ** **** ****! Law of the Yaksha – Yāo Shù: Shēngsǐ Nìliú (妖术: 生死逆流 Meaning: Magic of the Demon: Reversal Flow of Life and Death)]

With a shrilled tone of voice that gives off a hint of anxiousness the demonic self enacts an Absolute Law that causes his entire body to erupt with the essence of death and the essence of life that takes on the form of black and white streams of mist!

The behavior of these two streams of mist can only be described as strange for it looks as if they are attempting to devour one another.

At this time it is the essence of death that is more dominant due to the deteriorating state of the demonic self's body.

Without wasting any time the demonic self quickly vanishes from his current location through the means of spatial movement and reappears within an area that's filled with practitioners.

Most of these practitioners are in the midst of a life or death battle while the others are bombarding the Primordial Sea Devil that's been forcefully stopped in its track at some point in time.

It didn't matter whose side these practitioners are on as the demonic self sees all of them as nothing more than fodders.

As the demonic self spreads his arms apart the essence of death and the essence life that overflows from his body creates a special field that quickly expands outwards.

This special field causes the practitioners who had been caught up within it to feel their vitalities being drained from their bodies at an alarming rate of speed!

The few who managed to react quickly to the situation immediately made their way out of the field but the many that weren't fast enough to escape are quickly reduced into nothing more than a coat of skin that would momentarily be reduced into ashes!

The remains of these practitioners are their souls alone but even that wasn't spared for long as the demonic self's body gives off a powerful force of attraction that would readily pull them towards himself!

One by one the souls of these practitioners are devoured by the demonic self as their vitalities assimilate with his own to restore a bit of his ruined body back to normal.

[Not enough...! I haven't killed enough yet!!]

Looking around in an anxious manner the demonic self quickly spots another group of practitioners in the distance.

These practitioners who had seen what had happened within that brief instance can't help but pale as their faces are quickly drained of blood.

Prior to any of these practitioners being able to react to the situation the demonic self had already vanished and reappeared within the center of their group.

The same field from before is deployed as these practitioners' vitalities and souls are quickly devoured by the demonic self.

It doesn't take too much effort for one to figure out that the demonic self intents to devour as many practitioners as needed for him to restore his ruined body back to normal.
