Redemption of a Born Demon

The Perfect State!

Now that he had mastered the Jade Power, Yi Beidou could use this once-forbidden Secret Technique as a regular part of his arsenal!

Yi Beidou had many past dealings with the God-Sealing Alliance. There had been goodwill, sincerity, and also conflict. He didn’t dislike the organization; rather, he was more curious about its unknown system of power.

Therefore, he wouldn’t refuse their offer of cooperation. They wanted to size him up, and he was just as eager to size them up in return.

With one of their leaders—a Celestial Monarch Level expert—right in front of him, Yi Beidou certainly wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass.

If the God-Sealing Alliance wanted to cooperate with him now, they needed to have the strength to match!

Meng Qianyuan and the others knew Yi Beidou’s personality well. The moment the Demon Flame erupted, they quietly retreated to the stands at the edge of the gymnasium.

They, too, were eager to see what was so wondrous about a so-called "Celestial Monarch."

Seeing this, Long Yichen’s expression shifted slightly.

Even for leaders of the God-Sealing Alliance, wielding Celestial Monarch Level power came at a price. It was not a permanent state for them. Otherwise, with the Sleepers self-sealed in slumber, the other Secret Organizations would be no match for them at all.

But under the circumstances, he had no choice but to act. This wasn’t a problem, though. They had intended to size up Yi Beidou from the start; he had simply made the first move.

Besides, though he had maintained a humble attitude from the start, he was, in fact, a young man of Yi Beidou’s generation, and a rare genius among the Divine Sealers.

To have successfully assimilated the Celestial Monarch Fruit Position at such a young age made him an exceedingly rare talent, even among the Divine Sealers.

Young men are naturally passionate. Yi Beidou was interested in him, and he was just as interested in Yi Beidou.

"In that case, I shall be happy to oblige."

Long Yichen’s expression grew calm again, but his voice had changed.

The simple words seemed to carry immense authority. Rings of vibrating air became visible around him, stirring up the dust on the ground. Even Meng Qianyuan and the others felt a buzzing in their minds.

Yi Beidou’s eyes narrowed, the Demon Flame burning in his pupils as if it could pierce through illusion and reality, observing the changes in Long Yichen’s body and Life Magnetic Field.

He soon discovered what made Long Yichen different from other Divine Sealers.

The Divine Sealers Yi Beidou had encountered before all harbored a "Divine Spirit" within their bodies. This spirit was intertwined with, and coexisted alongside, the person’s Life Magnetic Field.

But now, Yi Beidou detected no such presence within Long Yichen. He only sensed a "void" inside him.

His Life Magnetic Field was spinning at high speed, creating a void that connected to some unknown, sacred entity.

’What’s going on?’

HUMMM!

Just as Yi Beidou was wondering, the void in Long Yichen’s Life Magnetic Field seemed to connect with some immense external field, and an incomparably terrifying and vast aura began to emanate from it.

Majestic, ferocious, transcendent, looking down on all creation...

"This is..."

Some distance away, the expressions on Meng Qianyuan and the others shifted.

They were all top-tier experts who had achieved Ascension, beings capable of contending with the Ancient Ones. But now, under the pressure of that aura, they felt a bone-deep chill, and the hair on their arms stood on end.

It wasn’t that they had never seen a Dharma Gate for summoning Deities, but they had never witnessed a presence so immense and terrifying.

ROAR!

Yi Beidou saw a roaring dragon’s head burst from the void within Long Yichen, transforming into boundless power that surged into every cell of his body.

’A technique of the Deities? Divine possession?’

’Then let me see exactly what cluster of void magnetic field you’re connected to, and which of the Deities you’ve summoned!’

A glint flashed in Yi Beidou’s eyes, and with a sudden thought—

BOOM!

The Demon Flame around him erupted. The tentacle-like tails of fire surrounding his Bloodfire Throne swayed as Jade Power spread and coiled around them, strengthening them to their absolute peak.

Then, these fiery tentacles, fortified by the Jade Power, shot toward Long Yichen.

The fiery tentacles didn’t attack Long Yichen directly. Instead, they plunged into the Void around him.

Yi Beidou intended to follow that immense aura upstream, using his terrifying Celestial Demon Sensing to trace the power back to its source.

If he succeeded, he might uncover the true secret of the Divine Sealers.

Yi Beidou’s senses met with powerful resistance. Before he had mastered the Jade Power, he would have stood no chance of probing the truth behind this force.

This just went to show how terrifying the source of the Divine Sealers’ power was. With his own strength, Yi Beidou could invade any secret realm in the Void and peer upon the true form of any Deity.

The path of the Divine Sealers was no ordinary method of praying to Deities!

Bolstered by the Jade Power, Yi Beidou finally broke through the power’s defenses, following it upstream with the terrifying intuition of his Celestial Demon Sensing.

Images began to form in his mind.

Seven-colored splendor, auspicious heavenly clouds, billowing immortal mists... He seemed to be descending from the heavens, arriving in an Immortal Realm.

Amidst the auspicious clouds, Yi Beidou saw faint, indistinct halos.

They looked just like the seven-colored halos depicted behind the heads of Immortals in ancient Donghua murals.

He sharpened his senses and, as the clouds swirled and parted, he finally glimpsed a blurry figure within one of the seven-colored halos.
