Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 438: Chapter 299: 2nd Disintegration, Fierce Battle Reignites for the Spiritual Talisman (Part 1)

Hearing the tremor reverberate in his mind, the Eye of the Sun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’He actually broke through my Eye of Omniscience and locked directly onto my real body’s location?!’

He knew that the Divine Power of the Eye of Omniscience was of an exceptionally high caliber when it came to concealment, cloaking, detection, and Illusion Techniques. Otherwise, how could it cover an entire city, leaving nothing hidden? How could it create the false auras of multiple Spiritual Talismans, leaving the Ancient Ones of numerous Secret Organizations unable to tell which was real?

’This should have been a flawless Technique, but now, it’s been breached in the very area it excels at.’

’This just goes to show how terrifyingly powerful that man has become.’

BUZZ!!

Within the secret chamber, the dozens of eyeballs on the walls shimmered with light as if they had come alive. Their pupils shifted, fixing their gazes on the blood-colored threads spreading out from the Void.

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!!

The threads snapped one by one under the gaze of the eyeballs. The Eye of the Sun was trying to sever the lock Yi Beidou had on his position.

However, the severed threads didn’t just vanish. Instead, they swayed in the air for a moment before reconnecting. At the same time, even more threads emerged from the Void, reinforcing the lock.

’With this level of lock, it seems conventional methods won’t be enough to sever it. I’d have to retract the Eye of the Omniscience from the sky and then activate my Immortal Soul’s liberation to break it in one go.’

The Eye of the Sun had already made his assessment.

However, with the situation in the city constantly changing, the Eye of Omniscience was still far too useful to be retracted so easily. Besides, he was unwilling to enter a state of Immortal Soul liberation and deplete his own power; otherwise, he would never have a chance to reclaim the Spiritual Talisman he’d given up.

’Time and again, my plans have been ruined by that young man, Yi Beidou.’

’That young man took the Ring of the Dominator and seems to have achieved a deep resonance with it. The might of his magnetic field and Divine Intent has been enhanced yet again.’

’It’s truly unbelievable. How could he have reached this stage with just a mortal body? Perfecting both body and spirit, cultivating for only a single lifetime, relying on no external forces, creating a miracle within the mortal world... is such a thing really possible?’

The Eye of the Sun’s gaze was profound as he muttered to himself. He had watched the day’s events unfold, and they had shaken him to his core.

But he quickly cut off all these distracting thoughts.

’Whether it’s possible or not has nothing to do with me, or any of us Ancient Ones.’

’From the moment we abandoned our original physical bodies and chose the path of Corpse Dissolution and reincarnation, we had already compromised with this world and the laws of life and death. That fearless will was shattered. There’s no turning back.’

’Our only path forward is to merge with enough Earth Immortal Cells, uncover the secret lore hidden in the river of history, and gamble everything on the unknown existence connected to the Severed Communication.’

’That power is enough for us to achieve our goal and attain eternal life. Only then will we have the luxury of planning our next steps at a leisurely pace.’

’Locking onto my position isn’t necessarily a bad thing.’

The Eye of the Sun muttered to himself.

"Eye of the Sun, we have fulfilled our part of the Oath. It is time for you Illuminati to honor your promise."

Just then, the voice of Destruction Heaven resounded in the Eye of the Sun’s ears, transmitted through the link of their Immortal Soul Oath.

"Tell us the exact location of the Spiritual Talisman, and we will go retrieve it at once. You had better not try any tricks."

The Golden Pharaoh’s voice chimed in.

"Rest assured, with the Oath binding us, I cannot possibly go back on my word. The Spiritual Talisman’s location is..."

The Eye of the Sun revealed a set of coordinates to both the Abyss Court and the Secret Technique Heaven—the very coordinates of the underground chamber where he was currently located.

Simultaneously, he used his golden earrings to immediately notify the two Illuminati members guarding the Spiritual Talisman, as well as their primary combatants who were still in fighting condition, telling them to converge on his position at once.

’You want to stay out of this? It’s not that easy. Let’s all fight until we’re battered and bloody.’

A vicious glint flashed in the Eye of the Sun’s eyes.

’The first round is over, but the second has just begun. The truly perilous slaughter will start when the Spiritual Talisman appears.’

「On the battlefield.」

All the strange phenomena receded and dissipated, and the brilliant light that had filled the sky faded, leaving only the Blood-Colored Demon Flame to fill the heavens.

The various terrifying commotions vanished, leaving only wreckage and silence in their wake.

It was a modern city, with buildings of steel and concrete, yet it was now a scene of utter devastation, ruined by the struggles between men.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Several figures landed beside Yi Beidou. They were Zhou Qingchen and a few other Donghua Martial Artists.

Zhou Qingchen was in her Ascension Technique state. Her entire body seemed to be made of lustrous jade, every cell radiating a faint light. Gang Wind swirled around her, and her long black hair surged toward the sky.

Although she had no visible injuries, Yi Beidou could still sense that her aura was somewhat unstable. It was clear she had also sustained damage in the previous battle.

The Primordial Map manifested around Huang Tianhu, his muscles bulging as if he were a primordial beast incarnate. Yet, traces of injury could still be seen on his body.

Meng Qianyuan’s injuries were the most severe. There was blood on his mouth and nose, and his aura was exceptionally chaotic.

He had only recently achieved Ascension, making him the weakest. This had been a truly high-stakes battle against the real bodies of Ancient Ones. Furthermore, the Donghua Martial Artists were too few in number and clearly at a disadvantage.

In the final stage, when all the factions were embroiled in a chaotic free-for-all, the Donghua Martial Artists became a prime target because of Yi Beidou. Meng Qianyuan was attacked by several Ancient Ones and came perilously close to complete annihilation.

Among them all, only Ding Huiyuan was in the best condition. Her hair was merely a little disheveled, and she appeared completely unharmed.
