Chapter 20 : Chi Domain: Heaven's Abode
Tang Feng was done toying with him and activated his technique, 'Thousand Phantom Art', and before Xiao Yao had time to recover, Tang Feng was already in front of him, his palm covering Xiao Yao's face as a resounding slap was given to him, followed by a blow to the gut, which caused Xiao Yao to lean forward, gasping for air and wincing in severe pain.
"Ugh", he said, trying to endure the pain.
"Oh, you're really resilient. Good. A man ought to be tough to be able to survive hardships and difficulties", Tang Feng said, and then jumped back two steps, causing a distance between them.
"Enough nonsense talk. Show me your skills", Xiao Yao said impatiently.
"As you wish", Tang Feng said.
Since Tang Feng had not tested his new strength, and wasn't fully aware of its full capabilities, he decided to test it on Xiao Yao and see the limits of his powers. Tang Feng gave Xiao Yao a kick that sent him flying down straight into the tree below them. The tree was destroyed on impact, and Tang Feng watched from above as Xiao Yao struggled to get up all while spitting out blood.
Xiao Yao wiped the blood off his lips, and held the top of the already broken tree trunk, a menacing smile on his lips.
"Very good, Luo Zeng. You're indeed a worthy opponent", he said, and his hand emitted a calm smooth flow of chi, which surrounded his entire hand. With just a little bit of force, he squashed the tree trunk into pieces, and got on his feet, his chi fully enveloping him, extending out like small tentacles.
"Chi Domain: Heaven's Abode", Xiao Yao said, his hands dropped to his side as he looked down.
After his proclamation, his chi-like tentacles extended out and covered the entire area, including where Tang Feng stood, changing the scenery from a clear day sky to a night sky with flowers below and a chi manifestation appearing behind Xiao Yao in the form of a huge bird.
"Luo Zeng, you're the second person to see me in this form, now you're going to die", Xiao Yao said.
Tang Feng who had been watching all the while suddenly grinned.
'So this is the rumoured domain. Good, let me see its power', Tang Feng thought, slowly descending till his feet touched the ground and he was on the same level as Xiao Yao.
When Tang Feng landed, he got a good look at Xiao Yao and he was no longer glowing radiantly like when he first activated his domain, the glow was dim now.
"I was planning of finishing you off but since you've shown me something interesting, I'll give you one more chance to prove yourself", Tang Feng said, mocking Xiao Yao.
"Give me a chance, you're not worthy", Xiao Yao said, his chi becoming brighter, pupils beginning to glow too.
As Xiao Yao activated his domain, the bird behind him extended his wings and shrieked, and Xiao Yao turned to dust, flowing into the night. Tang Feng was surprised at what he just saw, but at the same time he couldn't afford to let his guard down.
The bird was still where it was when it manifested, so Tang Feng began looking around for Xiao Yao.
"Where are you looking at? I'm over here", Xiao Yao said, his voice echoing in the domain as the entire area shook violently from his voice.
Tang Feng couldn't hear where he was coming from.
"Damn it. That kid still has a trump card like this", Tang Feng said.
"Luo Zeng, meeting me today is your bad luck, and now that you've realized it, I want you to know one thing..."
'Su Yan, can you find out where he is?', Tang Feng asked.
"
Tang Feng decided to watch what Xiao Yao intended to do, so he turned to the source of the echoing sound waves.
"...I am God", Xiao Yao said, finishing his statement of earlier, as his voice vibrated across the entire void, before he appeared in front of Tang Feng.
He extended his hand and a sword came out of it.
'Chi manifestation again?', Tang Feng thought, as he wasn't able to use it yet.
Xiao Yao raised the sword up and brought it down till it was in front of his closed eyes, after which the bird which was behind him dissipated, about to flow into the sword, but instead of flowing into Xiao Yao, it flowed towards Tang Feng.
Xiao Yao whose eyes were closed when he appeared didn't feel anything flow into him or into his manifested chi sword, so he opened his eyes as he saw his chi flowing towards Tang Feng, he couldn't believe it.
"Impossible", he said impatiently, clearly baffled that he was being robbed in the middle of a fight he was winning.
"What's impossible", Tang Feng said, as he began absorbing the chi, which flowed into his chaos core.
Xiao Yao watched as Tang Feng stole all of his accumulated chi, unable to do anything about it. He went in front of the chi and blocked it, but the chi only flowed around him and into Tang Feng.
"
The smooth flow of the chi was suddenly changing to a more erratic and violent one, which then flowed into Tang Feng's dantian, empowering Tang Feng as he circled his chi, which enveloped him like how it did when Xiao Yao manifested his own chi, but it was more thicker due to the effects of the chaos core's conversion.
"If you claim to be a God, then I... am... Chaos", Tang Feng said, slowly placing emphasis on his last words as he opened his eyes, his erratic chi mixed with lightning, leaking out of his eyes.
