57 Background (1/2)

Inside of Ye Yanrui, the demonic core rapidly rotated exerting a powerful gravitational pull on the surrounding immortal Qi. The Qi rushed into Ye Yanrui's blood imbibing each cell with immortal Qi that surpassed any imagining.

His blood turned white and heavy as the drops of liquid qi went through his meridians. Every drop of energy remained conserved and contained in his body. As the demon core revolved a part of its essence would dissipate and leave his body.

The originally white aura became accompanied by dark shadows shading across his body. Ye Yanrui's face and figure became completely obscured by the white light and dark shadows across his body. He looked as though he had become a divinity, invisible to mortal kind.

Ye Tian watched as Ye Yanrui's aura constantly evolved and gritted his teeth as he angrily shouted: ”A Demon Core... you ignorant child. Do you know what you have done?”

Ye Yanrui's cold radiant eyes shined through the shadows and light, and with his cold gaze piercing into Ye Tian's body he said: ”Shut up...”

Before Ye Tian could respond, Ye Yanrui's body flashed into a white beam and instantly appeared in front of him. Ye Yanrui gripped his fist and released his immortal Qi, the intense Qi set off nomological powers as a white dragon coiled around his arm.

Ye Yanrui punched out with the divine dragon flying off his fist as one, the divine dragon slammed into Ye Tian's face before he could respond.

BOOM!

The power of the fist exploded into the sky releasing a divine dragon into the firmament. The immortal Qi blasted into the horizon as Ye Tian's body recoiled from the shock. He reeled from the shock as he lost his footing in the air and fell to his knees barely stabilizing his flight.

”Pfftt.” He gripped his chest in pain as he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and through a blurry and distorted vision he stared at Ye Yanrui across from him.

Ye Yanrui stood on the air calmly as white dragons ascended from his body towards the heavens. The divine sight filled Ye Tian with a sense of excitement at fighting such a foe.

”You're weak...” Ye Yanrui coldly intoned with his cold blue gaze.

”I wasn't so weak when I killed your woman.” Ye Tian smiled and stood up wiping the blood from the side of his mouth.

The floral pattern in Ye Yanrui's eyes suddenly constricted and the demon core in his body revolved even faster.

”Haaa... you...” Ye Yanrui growled as anger filled his body ”I will kill you.”

Ye Yanrui's body flashed once again leaving only a trail of immortal Qi as his form disappeared and reappeared in front of Ye Tian.

”White Dragon Flash!” He roared as he punched out releasing a sky rending white dragon the size of a mountain. The gigantic dragon roared as it opened its mouth to engulf Ye Tian's entire body.

Even with the divine white dragon coming down on him, Ye Tian stood tall with his hands held behind his back. He closed his eyes and recited without a care:

”Ye of the Bloodline,

Who pursue my truth,

Hear my ancient name.

From time immemorial,

I have existed.

A specter,

No longer the same.

I have existed,

And this is your end.”

Suddenly Ye Tian's eyes flashed open but this time they were empty! His body started to meta morph and as a violet aura burst from his body. His legs grew smaller, his robes shrunk and turned violet as the Qi wrapped around him.

In a few moments, Ye Tian became the size of a small boy with childish violet robes. You wouldn't suspect the boy of being anything scary, but one look into his empty cold eyes and you'd never return.

The little boy raised his left hand at the incoming white dragon, the dragon swallowed Ye Tian whole and released a sea of Qi within it.

The Qi burst out detonating into a sky-high explosion of immortal Qi, the intense ripples of the explosion transmitted to the ends of the world as the powerful Qi spewed onto the land.
