道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

Chapter 797

Clouds as dark as the night covers the heavens as raging winds howl in the manners of a beast that's prepared to pounce on its prey at any given moment.

This sort of ominous weather is something that is commonly seen prior to the advent of a disaster.

At the edge of a blade like cliff stands a single figure dressed in a white set of robes.

(...)

The eyes of the white robed young man glares intently towards a specific part of the black heavens in silent anger.

Due to how dark it is it's difficult to see but the robes of the young man are filled with tears and burnt marks almost as if he had just emerged from a fierce battle against a powerful adversary who had just barely managed to obtain victory against.

*Whoooooooo!!* as the howling winds gather together they form a tornado and gradually this tornado takes on a vague shape that resembles a humanoid giant.

At the spot in which this giant's eyes are supposed to be eerie red lights that can seemingly pierce into the depths of a person's soul manifests in the manners of the giant opening them to look upon the wastelands before it.

(Dao of the myriad lifeforms lead only to ruin for the end's advent is inevitable. Choosing to delay its arrival in such a manner goes against the natural laws of the world, hence the judgment is destruction. Humans, why must all of them be so foolish?)

The giant speaks with a regal tone of voice that is filled with contempt towards the myriad lifeforms.

Clearly, they are the sort of individual who wouldn't bat an eye to see a human child killed in front of them for they see the lives of humans as nothing more than insects that can readily be trampled over without a care.

[...Di Tian......]

Recalling this unclear piece of memory that was hidden away at the far depths of his mind Ye Gui Feng murmurs the name of the original monarch that is meant to be the incarnation of the world's "Absolute End."

[Uh...!]

There was no time for Ye Gui Feng to concern himself with this matter as the moment he blinks his eyes he is greeted to the figure of Xuan Nuo with his hands raised over his head and joined together.

[...!]

*BOOM!!!!!!!!!* almost as soon as Xuan Nuo begins to hammer his hands down Ye Gui Feng crosses his arms together to guard himself!

The heavy impact of this hammering blow sends Ye Gui Feng crashing towards the earth like a descending comet and the moment he lands-

*BOOM!!!!!!!!!* a pillar of dirt erupts from the earth as a deep crater opens up on the spot that Ye Gui Feng had landed!

[Tch...]

It didn't take long for Ye Gui Feng to regain the feel of his numbing forearms and almost as soon as he did he pushes himself to a stand before taking a single step forward.

*Boom!!!* the time it takes for a person to blink their eyes is the amount of time that Ye Gui Feng had taken to appear in front of Xuan Nuo and without any delays he draws his fist forward!

The speed in which this attack had been launched didn't give Xuan Nuo even a split second to react and momentarily a heavy force of impact smashes onto his chest to throw him into the distance!

Before Xuan Nuo's back can even make contact with the ground Ye Gui Feng takes another step forward and appears above him.

Reaching his right hand forward Ye Gui Feng grabs Xuan Nuo by the neck and having a firm hold over Xuan Nuo in this manner he increases his speed of descent to plunge towards the earth!

*BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!* a pillar of dirt that is double the size of the first erupts into the air as the lands tremble violently!

*Kakakakakakaka!!!* the crushing descent causes several cracks to appear throughout the back of Xuan Nuo's armor.

An ordinary practitioner who had gone through this plunge would surely have had their entire body reduced into a pool of blood to fill the crater that the two are currently in however-

[...!]

The pain of this crushing descent didn't seem to have registered with Xuan Nuo as he lunges his right hand out to grab at the neck of Ye Gui Feng before pulling him towards himself and headbutting him!

*Boom!!!* the force of this headbutt knocks Ye Gui Feng back and due to how much pressure was applied to his neck a layer of his skin had been ripped off in the same instance!

Recovering in the air and coming to a landing Ye Gui Feng wraps his hand around his bleeding neck. It didn't take long for the wound to mend itself while Xuan Nuo emerges from the crater.

*Kakaka...* the damages on Xuan Nuo's armor closes at a visible rate of speed and the method of it doing so looks so similar to the way in which a laceration wound would close on the flesh and blood body of a human.

"Even if you're not him you should still be able to feel a sense of disgust towards that monarch's name can't you?"

[...Indeed.]

Reluctantly Ye Gui Feng agrees but-

[Even so what does any of that have to do with me? I'm not Yi nor will I ever become him. If he has a grudge with someone he shouldn't bother to pin these emotions onto me as well.]

"..."

If Ye Gui Feng can see Xuan Nuo's face at this time then he would surely be surprised to find them smiling in amusement. This smile that's hidden away by his helmet has the flavor of an adult looking upon a naïve child that's yet to mature. At the same time it contains a small tinge of envy.

"Then you truly do not understand a thing."

[I don't intend to understand whatever it is that he has in mind.]

Kicking the ground Ye Gui Feng approaches Xuan Nuo and in the midst of his enemy's approach-

(Ah... I dislike getting my hands and clothes dirty. That's why I tend to keep my distance during a fight.)

Xuan Nuo didn't know why but he suddenly recalls this memory in which Yi had been brushing off the dirt that's sticking to his robes.

"Compared to him you truly are different."

Comparing Yi to the enemy in front of him Xuan Nuo finds it somewhat difficult to believe that Yi's clone would choose to engage in a close quarters combat against him when the original person is someone who cares a great deal for cleanliness above all else.

"But-"

Just as Ye Gui Feng is about to land his strike Xuan Nuo abruptly stomps his foot onto the ground.

"That is also what makes you a lot more naïve."

*KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!!!!!!!!* this stomp causes the earth to tremble with greater intensity than before and starting from Xuan Nuo's foot a series of cracks spreads outward!

[...!]

The moment Xuan Nuo's foot had landed the forces of gravity had been altered as Ye Gui Feng finds himself involuntarily thrown into the air.

[Uh...?]

Just as Ye Gui Feng is about to fight back against this gravitational force-

[...]

Pieces of the earth are also thrown into the air and almost as if the entirety of the world beneath him is an egg that's in the midst of hatching Ye Gui Feng sees a giant red eye glaring back at him.

"This is my prison's true form."
