Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 365 - 264: Clay Chickens and Pottery Dogs, the 100-Ren Demon Body Remains Unharmed (Part 1)

Celestial Demon Dissolution!!

In an instant—the Sixth Layer of Reverse Chaos!!

At the same time, a faint firelight flickered to life within his very cells, drastically activating his body’s regenerative capabilities.

Penglai Fire!

The Great Vow Master, who was binding Yi Beidou with an Esoteric Hand Seal, saw his expression change abruptly.

A moment ago, Yi Beidou’s body had been under his influence, but in an instant, that influence vanished.

Even the clear face of the illusory figure on the cross in the sky began to blur again as the Curse Technique’s effect rapidly weakened.

Facing the attacks of the four people around him, Yi Beidou showed no intention of dodging. He dropped into a low stance, crossing his arms before him in a defensive posture.

He intended to meet their attacks head-on with his body!!

BOOM!!

The collision of flesh and bone unleashed a deafening roar, like a missile exploding. A visible blast of air formed a dome-like shield as the surrounding ground fractured into massive cracks.

Yi Beidou was caught in the center of their pincer attack, and for a moment, it felt as though space itself had frozen solid.

But the next moment.

HAH!!

With a sharp cry, Yi Beidou stomped his foot. His body twisted and vibrated violently, channeling immense power outward in all directions.

The pupils of the four assailants constricted. They felt an irresistible force wash over them. Coming just as their own explosive attacks had ended and before they could recover their Power, this counterforce was simply unstoppable.

WHOOSH!!

The four of them were launched into the air, flying four or five meters away. After landing, they stumbled back several more steps, their gazes fixed grimly on Yi Beidou.

At this moment, Yi Beidou did not appear to be in good shape.

His clothes had long since been shredded to pieces, revealing a powerful physique.

On his right bicep, where the Purifier had struck, a large patch of flesh had turned a deathly gray, as if all color had been drained from it. Where the Mother of Eternity had hit, his incredibly tough skin was now pocked with tiny holes, from which a web of fine golden threads radiated, spreading rapidly across his body. His forearm, struck by the White Elephant Lord, was split open and dripping with blood. As for his back, where the Purple Cloud Daoist had landed a blow, a deep purple bruise had formed, and it seemed their Power and magnetic field interference had penetrated deep into his body.

Yi Beidou straightened his body as fresh red blood trickled from his mouth and nose.

Although his opponents were merely avatars of Ancient Ones, their coordinated strategy and combined power made them nearly as strong as a true Ancient One.

Seeing this, the Great Vow Master and the others relaxed slightly. If Yi Beidou had remained unscathed even after all that, it would have been truly terrifying.

’Since he can be injured, then all we need to do is hit him a few more times to end this fight.’

’As his injuries accumulate, he’ll only become less and less able to defend himself.’

"You do have some skill, I’ll give you that."

Yi Beidou said, his expression calm.

The next moment.

BOOM!!

His Blood Fire Demon Flame erupted, tempering his body and purging all the foreign influences.

The gray skin on his right arm rapidly returned to normal, and the spreading golden threads halted. At the same time, streams of a pale yellow, bloody fluid were forced out from the tiny puncture wounds, purging the poison the Mother of Eternity had injected into him.

"’Some skill,’ is it?"

A cold smile appeared on the Great Vow Master’s face.

POP! POP! POP!!

His skin burst open all over his body, spraying out streams of blood. Blood also gushed from his mouth and nose as he pushed his Celestial Demon Form to its absolute limit.

His hands flew, rapidly forming an Esoteric Seal.

VMMMM!!

Yi Beidou’s expression tightened. He saw the Black Lotus Mark—which should have been dispersed by his Demon Flame while in the Sixth Layer of Reverse Chaos—reappearing on his skin. Ghostly hands surged forth once more, interfering with the flow of his Life Magnetic Field.

In the sky, the Saint Suffering Appearance formed once again.

This time, however, Yi Beidou’s power was far greater. Even with the Great Vow Master putting forth his full effort, he could only affect Yi Beidou for the blink of an eye.

But that was enough.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

In that momentary opening, the four surrounding Ancient One avatars unleashed their Divine Powers and were upon Yi Beidou once more.

It was another unavoidable, coordinated strike.

And this time, Yi Beidou again used his arms to block, taking the blows with his body before a sudden jolt sent the four attackers flying back.

It was almost a perfect reenactment of the previous exchange.

Except this time, he was left with even more bloody wounds, creating a gruesome sight.

The girl in sunglasses and the others watching from a nearby building saw Yi Beidou’s condition and couldn’t help but widen their eyes and cover their mouths.

’This Mr. Yi doesn’t look like he’s doing so well... Could it be...?’

They didn’t dare to think any further.

"The same technique again? It seems this is the best you’ve got."

Yi Beidou was covered in bloody wounds, yet his expression remained nonchalant and his tone, calm.

It was as if he weren’t the one injured and under siege, but his opponents.

"He’s courting death!"

The avatars’ expressions soured. An outburst of this magnitude was extremely draining for them as well.

After all, they were merely avatars, not their true selves; their power had its limits.

A battle this intense would drastically shorten the lifespan of these avatars.

’But this young man is just putting on a brave face. His injuries are undoubtedly severe. The superficial wounds are nothing; our techniques have a devastating impact on the Life Magnetic Field and internal organs. That’s the true, unseen, and terrifying damage.’

"Press the attack. Take him down now."

the Great Vow Master said in a low voice. His palms flew once more, forming another Hand Seal to exert his influence on Yi Beidou.
