Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 452: Chapter 305: The 3 Flowers Gather at the Crown, Deities Eat Qi and Do Not Die (Part 1)

Earth Immortal Cells!!

These were the spoils of battle Yi Beidou had obtained.

He had long heard of this wondrous biological tissue, but this was the first time he had ever seen it in person.

Just from a brief examination, he could already sense the infinite mysteries contained within the tissue.

However, the battle wasn’t completely over yet, so he couldn’t study it in detail.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Several figures landed beside Yi Beidou—the three Martial Artists from Donghua.

All of them stopped more than ten meters away from Yi Beidou, maintaining a safe distance.

The main reason was that Yi Beidou’s current aura and oppressive presence were simply too terrifying. Wreathed by the Bloodfire Throne, he looked like a Demon Lord descending upon the world. Even cultivators of their caliber couldn’t help but feel an urge to avert their gaze.

It was like a commoner meeting a king—the throne high and mighty upon the steps of a grand hall.

Sensing their auras, Yi Beidou finally pulled his attention away from the Earth Immortal Cells in his hand and reined in his immense, oppressive presence.

"We have both Spiritual Talismans now. Should we continue the pursuit?"

Zhou Qingchen asked.

She turned her palm upward, and two quaint, seemingly solid Spiritual Talismans materialized in a flash of light, hovering just above it.

’Pursue them?’

Yi Beidou’s eyes narrowed. He extended his senses in all directions, detecting multiple auras rapidly retreating before quickly vanishing from his perception.

He could try to lock onto some of them with his Tribulation Sense, but given the methods of these Ancient Ones, they would surely be able to sever his lock if given enough time.

Besides, the situation was clearly not suited for a continued pursuit.

Using the Perfect State of the Tenth Layer of Reverse Chaos outside an area covered by the Penglai Power inflicted terrifying damage; even he couldn’t withstand it for too long.

To be honest, he hadn’t planned on using the Perfect State so soon; he had somewhat underestimated the strength of these secret entities.

The individual strength of those three who had condensed a Soul—after achieving Full Immortal Soul Understanding—was even comparable to the Alchemist during his final moments.

Remember, the Alchemist had drawn upon the powerful magnetic field of the entire Penglai Immortal Mountain, connected with the Great Trend of Japan, and entered a desperate, all-or-nothing state.

But those three had not been within their own secret realms; they had been relying on their own power alone.

’If even a few more had shown up, I’m afraid even the Perfect State wouldn’t have been enough to suppress them. And then there are the Sleepers from the intel reports... supposedly even stronger than these guys...’

’Even I have no absolute confidence in suppressing them right now.’

But that was precisely what made him all the more excited and eager.

’Just what kind of power did an existence like that possess?’

"There’s no need to pursue them. We’re not in peak condition, and besides, we’ve already gotten what we came for on this trip."

Yi Beidou said.

They had witnessed the true strength and trump cards of the Secret Organization’s members, experienced the wonders of those peculiar organs, secured both Spiritual Talismans in the city, and even obtained a mass of Earth Immortal Cells.

The gains from this trip were already substantial.

"So, are we staying here or leaving Jun City? Can you hold on?"

Huang Tianhu asked, looking at Yi Beidou. He could sense that the other man’s Life Magnetic Field was like a raging storm. It was hard to imagine the severity of the backlash he would have to endure to calm it.

"Let’s stay put."

Yi Beidou said. The Perfect State couldn’t be maintained for very long.

"Alright. We’ll do our best to stand guard for you."

Zhou Qingchen said with a solemn expression.

"Don’t worry, there’s no more danger. Those guys won’t dare to come back."

A slight smile touched Yi Beidou’s lips.

He had already set a precedent by instantly suppressing the backlash from his Secret Technique to erupt with power once more. Those ancient beings wouldn’t dare return. Even if his aura vanished, or if he dropped dead on the spot, they wouldn’t dare make a rash move for some time.

That was their greatest weakness.

For the sake of their personal Cultivation and their own lives, they were inevitably timid and hesitant. Unless they were truly pushed into a desperate corner, they would never risk their own safety.

Take this battle, for example. If those guys had cooperated from the start instead of scheming against one another, the Donghua Group would never have had such a successful haul.

"They’re all thousand-year-old turtles, after all,"

Ding Huiyuan said with a shrug.

The others couldn’t help but smile at his words.

Suddenly, Yi Beidou froze, his gaze snapping toward a certain direction.

He clearly felt a terrifyingly vast aura surge into the sky, seeming to answer his own from a great distance.

Ethereal, majestic, profound, arcane...

It was boundless, filled with the pride of one who looked down upon the world, and an unbridled sense of freedom.

For an instant, despite the vast distance, Yi Beidou felt as if he were gazing upon a boundless, starry sky.

"What is it?"

The others asked, confused.

"Devi Punk."

Yi Beidou said softly, his smile growing more genuine.

’It wasn’t just those old relics who should have been buried long ago who were worthy of being his opponents.’

「Paris.」

Elite French troops had already cordoned off an entire district. Though the disturbance in the City of Romance couldn’t compare to what happened in Jun City, its impact was still enormous.

And the situation was escalating step by step.

Dark clouds gathered overhead and muffled thunder rolled, creating an apocalyptic scene. From the center of the lockdown zone came sporadic, terrifying explosions, violent tremors, and stunning, otherworldly displays of light.
