Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 471: Chapter 314: The Sleeper Manifests, Past Myth Enters Reality (Part 2)

Xu Fu.

This name had left a deep and vivid mark on the history of Donghua, giving rise to countless myths and legends.

The legends of the Three Immortal Mountains Overseas also began to spread far and wide from that point on.

But now, the person standing before them claimed to be Xu Fu himself. An ancient legend had fully manifested in reality.

Shock appeared in everyone’s eyes.

In fact, after obtaining Penglai Immortal Mountain, the Special Security Bureau had conducted an investigation. They had deduced that the first person in recent history to discover Penglai Immortal Mountain was likely the Qin Dynasty Alchemist, Xu Fu. They even suspected that the Ancient One Alchemist Yi Beidou had killed was Xu Fu himself.

They never expected that the real one was standing right before them.

Moreover, this man’s actions seemed different from some of the other Ancient Ones.

Many Ancient Ones deliberately concealed and avoided their past names. This was to prevent others from investigating their backgrounds and finding ways to counter them.

After all, even Ancient Ones who had condensed an Immortal Soul would have moments when their physical bodies decayed and they needed to reincarnate. That was when they were at their most vulnerable. Therefore, they had to remain hidden. If too much information was revealed, it could attract covetous enemies, leading to their ultimate demise.

The Sleepers, however, were different. They were fundamentally different, to a certain extent, from Ancient Ones and Corpse Dissolving Immortals. They no longer needed to reincarnate but could survive for long periods through self-sealing. Thus, they didn’t have the weakness of reincarnation and had far fewer concerns.

With no Earth Immortals present, they were the True Immortals who could run rampant across the world, lawless and unchecked.

VMM! VMM!

No one spoke. Instead, they all began to circulate their True Qi. Shafts of brilliant light materialized, shooting toward the sky.

There was no need for more words.

Yi Beidou had seized Penglai Immortal Mountain from an Ancient One code-named "Alchemist." That Alchemist’s original identity was most likely a descendant of Xu Fu.

And now, the original master had appeared before them.

In ancient times, their actions would be akin to destroying a sect, occupying its temple, and seizing its legacy—the acts of outsiders. This was a blood feud that could not be reconciled.

The man’s attitude and actions had already made everything clear.

This battle was inevitable.

Brilliant light illuminated the sky as every Donghua Saint Realm expert present unleashed their secret techniques. They dared not show the slightest negligence in the face of such a being.

Golden light swirled around Wang Chen, coalescing into tangible scales as he entered his Dragon Transformation state. Shu Xuanji’s Qi condensed and retracted inward, his Flying Sword ready to be unleashed from within his body. Yue Ming’s body swelled, and a bloody mist seeped from his opened pores. A powerful magnetic field gathered the mist, forming what looked like a Divine General’s Celestial Robe...

On Penglai Immortal Mountain, nine Donghua Saint Realm experts were now gathered. Many of them were old acquaintances of Yi Beidou.

Wang Chen of the Special Security Bureau, Shu Xuanji of Qingcheng Mountain, Southern Celestial King Yue Ming, Maoshan Celestial Master Tao Zihong, Witchcraft and Gu Saintess Zhu Zi’Er, the Ghost King of Yin Mountain Old Ghost Kui, and Zhong Ang of Lushan.

In addition to these seven, there were two unfamiliar faces. Although they had never fought Yi Beidou directly, they were also famous Saint Realm masters in Donghua.

Northern Celestial King Chen Zisheng, and Luo Wanjie of the Liu Ren Sect.

These nine Saint Realm experts on Penglai Immortal Mountain represented both the old and new generations of Donghua. It could be said they were a force that any nation would have to fear.

But at this moment, all nine wore incredibly grave expressions. Although they were nine against one, the opponent’s aura completely suppressed them. It was as if they were the ones who were surrounded.

"Everyone, let’s attack together! Don’t underestimate him!"

Wang Chen said in a low voice.

The nine all nodded.

VMMMM!!

Tao Zihong formed hand seals, and circles of thunder array patterns rapidly spread out from beneath him, enveloping the entire area for hundreds of meters.

The lightning flashing from this Thunder Vein Array was not silver, nor was it violet. It was a faint gold, giving off a feeling of endless vitality.

This was a power Tao Zihong had created by studying the Penglai Power and integrating it into his array.

ROAR!

Golden lightning roared within the array, faintly manifesting nine dragon heads that surrounded the East King.

The Nine Dragon Golden Thunder Array of Ten Thousand Transformations and Life Breathing!

Using a ceaseless torrent of Golden Thunder Power to seal the opponent!

But it was obvious that power of this level was far from enough to deal with the East King.

The power of the others also merged into the Grand Array.

A purple spider mark appeared between Zhu Zi’Er’s eyebrows. Her entire body was covered in dense, web-like purple patterns. These patterns then spread out from under her feet, embedding themselves into the Grand Array. They condensed around the nine Golden Dragons, forming a savage Purple Jade Battle Armor that covered their bodies.

This battle armor was, in fact, the Celestial Gu Poison. It could invert Yin and Yang and disrupt True Qi. Even a Saint Realm expert, if tainted, would have their Life Magnetic Field directly affected. It was like a maggot gnawing at the bone—nearly impossible to remove.

As a young Saint Realm expert from the same generation as Yi Beidou, Zhu Zi’Er’s strength had also improved tremendously.

The skin on Northern Celestial King Chen Zisheng’s face changed color, no longer looking mortal but taking on the characteristics of an opera mask. Brilliant light condensed into armor around him, as if he had instantly transformed into a being from theatrical legend.

Opera, Nuo dance, spirit invocation...

This was the Cultivation Technique Chen Zisheng practiced. However, he had modified it and now named it the "Self-Saint Technique."

The Divine General Mask he manifested was not that of any figure from Donghua legend, but a transformation of his own image. He did not invoke an external god, but a deified version of himself.

He used his supreme will to deify himself, borrowing the world’s Great Trend and the nation’s fortune to grow his Divine Format. This was how he became the Northern Celestial King who guarded the north.

As for Luo Wanjie of the Liu Ren Sect, his eyes were downcast, and no astonishing phenomena appeared around him. But if one could see his pupils, they would find the figure of the East King fixed within them. And within those pupils swirled the ever-rotating forms of the sixty-four hexagrams.
