Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 449: Chapter 303: Perfection Reappears, the True Demon Lord Upon the Throne (Part 1)

In an instant, the two of them fell into the trap, and the situation reversed dramatically.

"These bastards!!"

The Golden Pharaoh gritted his teeth, but before he could even curse them in his head, Yi Beidou’s hand, wreathed by a Tribulation Star, loomed large before his eyes.

If this fourth palm strike truly landed, he would risk fundamental damage.

Since there was no path of retreat, then...

A vicious glint flashed in the Golden Pharaoh’s eyes.

’I just didn’t want to use my trump cards. Do they really think I’m some pushover?’

BUZZ!!

In an instant, a dazzling golden light shot out from his body, forming a pillar of light that rocketed toward the sky. The terrifying, oppressive aura of a higher being descended with it.

Full Immortal Soul Understanding!!

The Golden Pharaoh had entered the state of Full Immortal Soul Understanding.

Layer upon layer of tangible, transparent golden shields materialized and overlapped around him, creating an extremely powerful defense that weakened incoming attacks. Then, from the Golden Tone in his chest, a massive number of materialized Golden Chains burst forth, surging toward Yi Beidou like a tidal wave.

Infinite Gold!!

This was the ability of the Golden Tone when fully unleashed. It could instantly convert the Golden Pharaoh’s own Life Magnetic Field into Undying Golden Power, allowing him to wield it as he pleased.

"Is that all?"

Yi Beidou’s expression was calm. Behind him, a Tribulation Star trembled before slamming into his body.

Double Tribulation Star!!

BOOM!!

The Demon Flame flared up again. Although it couldn’t perform Refinement on the incoming torrent of Golden Chains, the terrifying force of its eruption blasted them apart, preventing them from having any real effect on Yi Beidou for the moment.

The Destruction Killing Tribulation descended again!!

Yi Beidou’s palm shattered the Golden Pharaoh’s multiple layers of golden defenses. The Golden Power within them affected Yi Beidou’s Life Magnetic Field, limiting his body’s functions and weakening his attacks—an incredibly formidable defense.

However, even a defense of this caliber could not withstand Yi Beidou’s assault.

PTHOO!!

The Golden Pharaoh crossed his arms to block, but the terrifying impact instantly crushed his insides. He violently spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood.

’This person can get even stronger?!’

’He got stronger again?!’

’That crimson star possession... just what are its limits?!’

’And he seems to have more than ten of those crimson stars left?!’

At this moment, the Golden Pharaoh—a being who had condensed an Immortal Soul, his body partially transcending the mortal plane—could not stop a seed of fear from sprouting in his heart.

He simply couldn’t fathom the young man’s depths. It was like gazing at a mountain with no peak, or an abyss with no bottom.

It was the fear of the unknown.

Even his Full Immortal Soul Understanding state couldn’t stop his opponent. If this went on, he was in real danger of being utterly destroyed!

"Destruction Heaven!! Eye of the Sun!! Are you going to just stand there and watch?! Are you still holding back?! If I fall, if I can’t kill him, do you think any of you will get out of here alive?!"

The Golden Pharaoh roared frantically.

After a brief silence...

BUZZ!!

In the sky, the colossal Eye of Omniscience bloomed with a blinding light, soaring upward and warping the very heavens.

The intense collapse and tearing of the magnetic field ripped holes and fissures in the Void. Within them, countless cold, indifferent eyes opened. They were not illusory but real, and every gaze fixed on Yi Beidou, sharp as a knife.

Down in the basement, the Eye of the Sun’s features twisted in agony. The flesh around the horizontal eye on his brow tore open as the eye itself widened to a terrifying size. His entire frame began to grow larger.

At a glance, that single eye seemed to take up half of his face.

BANG!! BANG!!

Destruction Heaven’s arms suddenly swelled to a grotesque size. The characters for gain and loss on his palms blurred, squirming as they spread to cover his hands entirely. Even the structure of his palms began to change.

They looked like two flesh-and-blood megaphones.

A terrifying, oppressive aura spread from him as well.

RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!

Dark clouds instantly condensed in the sky, and lightning writhed like silver serpents. The air grew thick, almost suffocating.

Full Immortal Soul Understanding!!

The three masters, all of whom had condensed a "Soul," had entered the state of Full Immortal Soul Understanding!

It had to be said, Yi Beidou’s ability to ignore the backlash from his Secret Technique and continue to power up terrified not only the Golden Pharaoh, but the Eye of the Sun and Destruction Heaven as well.

They could no longer fathom his limits.

’If he can absorb all dozen of those crimson stars, how powerful will he become?’

’If we just sit here and watch the Golden Pharaoh fall, will we really be able to suppress Yi Beidou afterward?’

At this moment, these constantly infighting individuals—including the Eye of the Sun, who had lost his Spiritual Talisman—realized they had a serious problem.

They had fancied themselves chess players, hoping to use Yi Beidou as a sharp blade to disrupt the game. But they saw now that they were wrong. He wasn’t a piece; he was someone who could flip the entire board.

If they continued their infighting, they all risked being defeated and killed.

They had to act.

And if they were going to act, they had to go all out. After all, Yi Beidou still possessed a Spirit Treasure. With the three of them entering Full Immortal Soul Understanding simultaneously, they were essentially back at the same starting line. If they could be the first to kill Yi Beidou and seize the Spirit Treasure, their side would still hold the advantage.

Three brilliant columns of light, three oppressive auras befitting Earth Immortals, brought the entire battlefield to a near standstill. The other combatants paused, no longer bothering to restrain their opponents.

They, too, were shaken by the power Yi Beidou had unleashed.

’Just where are this man’s limits?’

’Is it really a good thing for us that someone like him has appeared in the mortal world?’

’Perhaps the best outcome would be for such a being to die right here.’

Even the fight over the Spiritual Talisman could be set aside.

An intense wariness rose in everyone’s hearts.

"Everyone who can—attack him now!!"

The voice of the Eye of the Sun thundered in the ears of the Ancient Ones from the three major powers.

In that instant, the three Immortal Soul Masters entered their Full Immortal Soul Understanding state. The other factions stopped holding back, and some of the Ancient Ones from the three major powers freed themselves to attack Yi Beidou simultaneously.

This time, their goal was not to delay or obstruct him, but to grievously injure him—or even kill him outright.

To completely annihilate this anomaly, the greatest threat in the city, right here.

The various Secret Organizations all had their own goals and interests, and their members had their own personalities and ambitions. Getting such people to truly work together was harder than making the sun rise in the west.

And yet, they were now united against a common foe, all because of one man.

It was a miracle.

"Yi Beidou!!"

Zhou Qingchen cried out in alarm. The expressions of everyone in the Donghua Group turned grim. Even Ding Huiyuan, who had been hiding, revealed himself. His face was unprecedentedly solemn, blood seeping from his nose, ears, and eyes as he prepared to use his True Word Technique to help Yi Beidou fend off the attackers.

However, with the Eye of the Sun in his Full Immortal Soul Understanding state—a powerful master of the Knowledge Forbidden Realm in his own right—Ding Huiyuan’s efforts had little effect.

The Golden Pharaoh thrust out his palm, and the tips of the sweeping Golden Chains sharpened into spikes.

Destruction Heaven lunged, thrusting his palms toward Yi Beidou. Countless compressed, bubble-like Sound Wave Bombs shot forth.

They were followed by a volley of attacks from the other Ancient Ones, instantly overwhelming Yi Beidou.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions!!

It was like countless missiles striking at once. The terrifying magnetic field eruption and the sheer physical destruction kicked up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky. Even from miles away, one could see chaotic, rainbow-colored halos of light ripple across the sky as the very earth trembled from the blasts.

The rising dust and chaotic magnetic field completely shielded the area from the senses of the surrounding experts. From the spreading shockwaves alone, they could feel the hair-raising destructive power.

This was the combined, all-out attack—brimming with killing intent—from three Immortal Soul Masters in their Full Immortal Soul Understanding state, along with numerous Ancient Ones!

Could Yi Beidou survive this?

After the roar of the explosion, a brief silence fell.

And then...

WHOOSH!!

Like a cannonball, a figure shot out from the smoke and chaotic light, slamming heavily into a building.

Everyone focused their gaze. The figure’s golden scales were flaking off and disintegrating, his arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, and blood poured ceaselessly from his mouth and nose.

The Golden Pharaoh?!

Then, they saw more figures flicker into view. They burst out of the smoke and fled into the distance without a moment’s hesitation, as if they couldn’t bear to remain a second longer.

Those people... were all the Ancient Ones who had just attacked Yi Beidou.

’What in the world just happened?!’
