Redemption of a Born Demon
Chapter 432 - 295: Throne Ascension: My Body is a Miracle (Middle)
Spiritual Talismans were the focal point of the entire conflict. Wasn’t this what they were all fighting and dying for?
However, he had clearly miscalculated Yi Beidou’s intentions.
Yi Beidou didn’t respond to his words at all, continuing his frenzied assault on the Duke of Destruction.
"Isn’t it the Spiritual Talismans you want? If you don’t trust me, I can swear an Oath on my Immortal Soul, or I can have the Duke cooperate with you to come into the city and retrieve them."
"The state you’re in comes at a great cost and surely can’t be maintained for long. Taking the Spiritual Talismans and leaving quickly is your best option. I can..."
The Eye of the Sun’s words continued to echo.
But in the next moment.
"I don’t need to. What I want, I will take for myself. None of you can hide."
Yi Beidou’s cold voice rang out. Then, the Blood Fire Demon Flame around him erupted, directly blasting through the Eye of the Sun’s magnetic field fluctuations.
The other party had cut off communication, effectively blocking him.
In the basement.
The Eye of the Sun’s face twitched and contorted violently. His chest heaved, and his pale, caucasian complexion instantly turned beet red.
"Madman!!"
The Eye of the Sun roared. He never imagined Yi Beidou would refuse so decisively. It was simply incomprehensible.
It was just like a short while ago, when he could have clearly worked with Destruction Heaven, but instead sent him flying with a single palm strike.
"Are you going to do something or not?!"
The Duke of Destruction’s roar came through his earpiece, making the Eye of the Sun even more agitated.
"Just hold on a little longer! I have other plans!"
The Eye of the Sun’s expression turned sharp.
’I gave you a chance and you didn’t take it. It’s not like I have to work with you.’
’You’re not the only power on the scene!!’
「On the outskirts of the battlefield.」
"What’s the situation? I can’t see a thing."
Liu Xue and Brother Yu strained to see, but they couldn’t make out any details of the battle.
"That blood-red flame soaring into the sky must be a characteristic of that Mr. Yi. Now that the flame is suppressing the other strange phenomena, it should mean Mr. Yi has the upper hand, right?"
Brother Yu speculated, as they could only judge the situation by the phenomena.
"Look! Someone else is coming! Oh my god, is that person flying?! No, it’s not just one person, it’s a lot of people! Figures are approaching from every direction!"
Liu Xue exclaimed in shock.
The first thing she saw was a figure shrouded in a cloak, with a pair of golden wings sprouting from its back, gliding swiftly through the sky. Then she noticed figures flickering in from all directions.
The people from the other factions had arrived.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
One after another, figures flashed onto the tops of buildings near the battlefield, observing the fray and trying to analyze the situation.
All eyes first focused on the core of the battlefield, where the energy signatures were most intense.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The row of shops looked as if it had suffered a series of missile strikes and was now a total wreck. Amidst the dust and smoke, a crimson figure that looked like a Hellfire Monarch suddenly burst out.
His magnetic field was incredibly powerful, like the gates of Purgatory had been thrown open. A unique aura belonging to an Immortal Soul permeated the air, as terrifying as a natural disaster, making one’s heart pound and the hair on their body stand on end.
On his finger was a strongly reactive magnetic field condensed into the shape of a ring, which everyone recognized as the mark of a Spirit Treasure.
With a Full Immortal Soul Understanding and the protection of a Spirit Treasure, he was undoubtedly an existence everyone had to be wary of. Yet at this moment, with blood streaming from his nose and mouth, he was fleeing in a panic.
CRACK!!
The smoke behind him suddenly exploded. A tall figure wreathed in blood-red flames burst through, striking directly at the crimson figure. With a single palm strike, the crimson figure could only block, and was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
The crimson figure ignored his injuries completely. After stabilizing himself, he immediately turned tail and ran, possessing none of the dignity of an expert who had condensed a Soul. His pathetic state was so shameful that no one would want to be associated with him.
The crimson figure was no stranger to the members of the various Secret Organizations: the Illuminati’s Duke of Destruction.
And the identity of the figure wreathed in Blood Fire was also discernible to all.
But...
The scene before them was so absurd that none of them could quite believe their eyes.
Before arriving, they had all assumed that the one capable of suppressing the Duke of Destruction, who had a Full Immortal Soul Understanding, and yet showed no signs of Earth Immortal Cells, must be one of the powerful Sleepers.
But now, what they saw was a person from the Mortal World?!
So what if he was at the pinnacle of the current era? A person from the Mortal World was just that. Back in the day, how many of them had also reached the pinnacle of their own eras? What was so special about it?
This scene was simply beyond their comprehension.
"Hey, is it just me, or is this script all wrong? A guy from the Mortal World has pushed the Duke of Destruction this far? Is this a joke?" a member of the Abyss Court asked doubtfully.
"Could this be a trick by the Eye of the Sun?" another person said. "Is he confusing our senses, creating an illusion as a trap, just waiting for us to take the bait?"
No matter how they looked at it, the scene was too absurd to be believed.
"It’s real. There’s no mistaking that aura. The people from Secret Technique Heaven are also fighting on the battlefield. If the Eye of the Sun could still deceive us under these circumstances, then there’d be no point in fighting over anything. He’d have us all wrapped around his little finger."
"It seems the Mortal World has truly produced a remarkable figure."
The Golden Pharaoh’s eyes, hidden beneath his cloak, narrowed slightly. He watched the figure with the Demon Flame Protection, sensing its terrifying aura as he spoke softly.
"Pharaoh, what are our orders now?" the Mother of Eternity asked in a low voice.
What were their orders?
The Golden Pharaoh gazed at the unfolding scene, momentarily lost in thought.
「Meanwhile.」
The Five Celestial Generals of the God-Sealing Alliance had also arrived on the scene, witnessing the unbelievable chase between the Duke of Destruction and Yi Beidou.
"It really is him..."
Carlos took a deep breath, his suspicions completely confirmed. A complex mix of emotions churned within him, and a certain obsession seemed to vanish in an instant.
Originally, when he had been forced back by the Demon Flame while removing the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle from Zeno’s body, he had considered it a humiliation. He had been fixated on the idea of one day running into Yi Beidou to get his revenge.
That was why he had led the team to Jun City this time, precisely because there was a high probability that Yi Beidou and his people would appear here.
But now...
Even a key member of the Illuminati who had condensed a Soul, fully unleashed it, and was protected by a Spirit Treasure was being chased by Yi Beidou like a cornered rat. How could his own setback at the man’s hands even be considered a humiliation?
It was just that...
the current situation had gone far beyond any of the contingency plans they had prepared. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
「In the midst of the battlefield.」
"Destruction Heaven, the other factions have arrived. What should we do now?"
The White Elephant Lord, whose entire body looked as though he had albinism, knocked back his opponent and came to Destruction Heaven’s side, asking in a low voice.
The situation had reached its most complex point. With all the factions gathered, a single decision could change the course of events.
Destruction Heaven also fell silent for a moment.
All sides were quiet. Though people continued to arrive, everyone was watching from the sidelines to see how things would develop. No one made a real move, and for a moment, it was impossible to make a judgment.
The situation on the ground was simply too bizarre, exceeding every faction’s contingency plans.
Just then, a voice broke the stalemate, sounding out beside the leaders of the two strongest factions on the scene: Abyss Court and Secret Technique Heaven.
"The Illuminati has lost this time. We will withdraw from this round of the conflict. As long as you can guarantee the safe retreat of the Illuminati’s members from this battle, I will offer up the Illuminati’s two Spiritual Talismans. Your two families can each take one."
"I can establish an Oath with my Immortal Soul. You don’t need to worry about me going back on my word."
From the Sky, the Eye of Omniscience cast its gaze down. Two beams of light descended, creating a shared connection with Destruction Heaven and the Golden Pharaoh.
This state was equivalent to temporarily pulling both parties into a "group chat."
Hearing the Eye of the Sun’s voice and his words, the pupils of both the Golden Pharaoh and Destruction Heaven contracted slightly.
This was the Eye of the Sun’s plan.
’Yi Beidou doesn’t know what’s good for him, but it’s not like I have to work with him. By using Abyss Court and Secret Technique Heaven, I can achieve my goal all the same. And I’m certain that these two factions absolutely will not refuse my proposal!’
’When the time comes, with these two factions involved, two experts who have condensed a Soul will strike at the same time. That madman and the other Donghua Martial Artists will become a common enemy, and he will ultimately pay the price for his arrogance!!’
