Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 368 - 265: Clay Chickens and Pottery Dogs: The 100-Ren Demon Body Remains Unscathed (Part 2)

These avatars didn’t understand his abilities. Trying to overwhelm him with multiple attacks was pure wishful thinking.

Now that they had seen through his ruse, Yi Beidou no longer held back.

He was going to end this fight.

BOOM!!

He stomped his foot, and his body shot forward like a cannonball. The air around him exploded, as if a fighter jet had just broken the sound barrier.

This time, it was his turn to go on the offensive.

"No, no, no, no!! This isn’t how it’s supposed to be!!"

The Great Vow Master’s face twisted as he was scorched by the Blood-Colored Demon Flame. He let out a hysterical scream, his palms forming a Seal Technique as he tried to continue casting the Esoteric Seal to influence Yi Beidou.

"Silence!"

However, Yi Beidou merely hardened his gaze, and the Blood Fire Demon Flame instantly erupted again, traveling along the connection between them.

FWOOSH!!

This time, the Demon Flame even spewed from the Great Vow Master’s throat, completely incapacitating him.

The tables had completely turned.

「Over a hundred kilometers from Jerusalem.」

Zhou Qingchen and the others wore grave expressions, focusing their senses to perceive the fluctuations in those auras and monitor the situation on the battlefield.

"What’s the situation?"

Yang Mutong stood beside Meng Qianyuan, looking anxious. Unfortunately, she hadn’t reached the Saint Realm, so she lacked the ability to sense auras from a hundred kilometers away.

In truth, even Meng Qianyuan’s own perception was quite vague, especially after the fighting began. Once the various auras mingled, they became even harder to distinguish.

"I’m not too sure myself. Captain Li, have you received any intel?"

Meng Qianyuan looked at Captain Li, the head of the Special Security Bureau’s Eastern Mediterranean Region, who was standing beside him.

Captain Li also looked grim. He was on his phone, occasionally whispering into it.

"We just got word that an attack involving a Saint Realm expert seems to have occurred near the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral in Jerusalem. The specific situation on-site is still unclear, and it will take some time for our people to get there."

Captain Li lowered his phone and replied to Meng Qianyuan’s question.

"One of the auras has vanished."

Just then, Zhou Qingchen suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Yang Mutong’s heart skipped a beat, and she worried she was about to hear bad news.

Meng Qianyuan’s expression also grew heavy.

Not even two minutes had passed since the auras flared, and one had already disappeared. He himself had been attacked by an Ancient One’s avatar before and knew that these creatures attacked with the sole purpose of killing. Every move they made was a killing Technique.

Six Ancient One avatars... that was enough to hunt a true Ancient One!

For a moment, even Zhou Qingchen and the others couldn’t tell whether the aura that had vanished from the jumbled mess belonged to an enemy or to Yi Beidou.

But a moment later, the expressions on their faces shifted slightly.

"Another aura just vanished."

Huang Tianhu said.

"And another one is fleeing the battlefield. It’s not Yi Beidou’s aura."

Zhou Qingchen added.

Meng Qianyuan and Yang Mutong exchanged a look.

This information was enough for them to piece together what was happening on the battlefield.

Two auras had vanished, and a third—one that wasn’t Yi Beidou’s—was now fleeing. This meant that the one at a disadvantage couldn’t possibly be Yi Beidou. It had to be the attacking Ancient One avatars!

In such a short time, two of them had been killed. One of the remaining avatars must have decided the fight was hopeless and chose to flee to preserve its strength.

At this rate, Yi Beidou wasn’t far from final victory.

A full six Ancient One avatars!

And yet, not long after the clash began, the Secret Organization’s forces were already showing signs of collapsing!

Keep in mind, when Devi defeated four Ancient One avatars not long ago, the Starry Sky Country had been trumpeting the achievement.

Just how strong was the Yi Beidou of today?

Both Zhou Qingchen and Huang Tianhu couldn’t help but look forward to the day they would meet Yi Beidou again.

「Meanwhile.」

「On the Western Mediterranean Coast.」

"As expected of you. You couldn’t possibly be threatened by a few mere avatars. Only someone like that is worthy of being my opponent."

Devi, with his terrifyingly sharp perception, sensed the shift on the battlefield. The corner of his mouth curled into a slight smile.

Crushing six avatars was, indeed, a display of immense power. And it was precisely that power that ignited his fighting spirit.

"I look forward to the day we meet again."

Devi murmured to himself.

「Jerusalem, before the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral.」

"The third."

Yi Beidou’s voice rang out. His hand had pierced through the Mother of Eternity’s ample chest, emerging from her back.

His arm was drenched in pale golden blood, and in his palm, he held a beating golden heart.

WHOOSH!!

With a flick of his arm, he sent the Mother of Eternity’s body flying. It crashed heavily onto the ground, her life force rapidly fading.

But there was no fear in her eyes, only a calm stillness. From the corner of her eye, she glimpsed golden, star-like points in the Sky.

Those golden points seemed to react to some stimulus, abruptly scattering in all directions and flying off to parts unknown.

They were golden flying insects.

’Although this avatar is about to perish, this wasn’t a total loss.’

The light in the Mother of Eternity’s eyes faded rapidly, but her mind was still considering the future.

’The people of this world are stronger than we anticipated. The cleansing plan pushed by the Pioneer Group will likely end in failure. The mortals will inevitably join the secret struggle.’

’This being who has mastered the Body Prohibition... he might prove to be a troublesome opponent.’
