Chapter 598: Chapter 372: The Sole Innate Divine Being in History

He was also the only being, from ancient times to the present, capable of subduing Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood. He had managed to break the limits of his natural lifespan and perfectly preserve his existence to this day without fusing with any foreign matter.

The Ancient Ones of their Original Vein had only ever existed for a single purpose.

It was not for the sake of Longevity, nor to seek the so-called illusory Earth Immortal Realm, but to help this man fulfill his lifelong ambition.

And for this, they had willingly endured the scouring of tens of thousands of years and a bone-chilling solitude.

Hearing the old man’s words, a storm seemed to brew in Innate’s eyes, yet his expression remained gentle and calm. "In all these years, I have never heard you speak of anyone with such high praise. It seems a truly earth-shattering figure has appeared in this era. What kind of person is he?"

"He is a Celestial Demon descended upon the world, yet he was able to conquer his own nature and achieve great enlightenment. With less than thirty years of Cultivation, he has already become unrivaled, transforming himself into a tribulation to cleanse the world and weigh the Righteous Dharma."

"He is now invincible in the mortal world. He has not fused with any Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, thus maintaining the purity of his physical body, yet he wields an exceptionally powerful and terrifying Immortal Power. He has even mastered the techniques of the Immortal Talisman. Not long ago, a Root Source fell—it must have been the Hongfa Immortal Monarch, who achieved the Dao three thousand years ago. We believe this was his handiwork. He intends to sweep the world clean, so that no secrets remain."

"This man’s power... has already touched the true Earth Immortal Realm."

The Spirit Summoner Kada, who had once appeared in Zhi City, said in a low voice.

"A Free Celestial Demon, indeed! ’Sweep the world clean, so that no secrets remain’! How formidable the new generation is!"

Innate laughed heartily.

"My lord, shall we go find this person now?" someone suggested.

"There’s no need for now. He’s sweeping away secrets, and though I’m reluctant to admit it, I am one of those secrets. He’ll find his way to me sooner or later. We’ve waited for nearly ten thousand years, so why be in a hurry at this moment?"

"I want to take a good look at this world and understand this new era."

"I want to see what kind of era could produce such a miracle, and whether he is truly the opponent I have been searching for."

Innate gazed into the distance and spoke softly, his eyes holding both the loneliness of standing at the pinnacle and a powerful sense of anticipation.

「Meanwhile.」

Carrying the enormous jade stone, Yi Beidou departed from the skies above the Dinarli Nature Reserve. His figure vanished, disappearing from all surveillance equipment once more.

The footage from the various surveillance devices showed only the shattered remains of the Starry Sky Country’s highest peak and the devastation left behind in the mountain range.

’Yi Beidou’s gone again? What’s he going to do this time? He’s not coming to settle old scores, is he? No, he probably won’t, right?’

The middle-aged man muttered to himself after receiving the news. His heart trembled as he looked at the photograph of the nation’s highest peak, which had been blasted down by nearly a thousand meters.

’How can such a monster even exist?’

’And that monster was subdued so easily by Yi Beidou!’

’With that kind of terrifying power, what good would it do even if I hid in the sturdiest doomsday bunker?’

Suddenly, the middle-aged man came to a realization.

’What’s meant to be will be. Even if I hide at the ends of the earth, as long as a "God" wants me, there’s no escape.’

’So be it. I’ll leave it to fate, focus on my own duties, and leave the affairs of Deities to the Deities.’

The middle-aged man felt a weight lift from his shoulders.

「A short time later.」

「Inside Beretta’s secret base.」

No one knew when Yi Beidou had entered the heavily guarded underground base, let alone how he had appeared directly inside Beretta’s private laboratory, a place absolutely off-limits to outsiders.

Beretta was charred black but still bustling about the lab. Yi Beidou could clearly sense that he was already capable of suppressing the Demon Flame in his body, but was deliberately keeping it at a certain level instead of eliminating it completely.

He could even suppress the Demon Flame enough to make it recede from his arms, allowing him to operate his various instruments.

’This guy... he must not be finished with his experiments. That’s why he’s unwilling to completely purge the Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars.’

The pain of his body burning and the torment of his mind being scorched seemed to be of no consequence to him.

"I’ve taken care of the Root Source in North America. I’ll leave the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood I stripped from his body here with you," Yi Beidou said to the charred Beretta.

"Oh? That was fast. What a complete specimen of Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood. Interesting. Just leave it over there. I’ll study it later. I’m busy right now, so make yourself at home."

Beretta glanced up at Yi Beidou and said casually.

He didn’t seem to find it at all strange that Yi Beidou had dealt with a legendary Root Source in such a short amount of time. His tone was as casual as if he were praising someone for a quick corn harvest.

Even the enormous piece of Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, coveted by countless Ancient Ones, was nothing more than a somewhat valuable research material in his eyes.

Yi Beidou didn’t seem to mind. He nodded and set down the enormous jade stone. Its terrifying weight made the laboratory floor tremble slightly.

If the floor hadn’t been made of a special material, it surely would have cracked.

Having done this, Yi Beidou paid Beretta no further mind, left the laboratory, and returned to the room containing the special radio.

He didn’t immediately enter the Human Dao River to contact Hong Datong. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breath.

The battle with Hongfa Immortal Monarch had been less draining on his Physical Ability than on his mind. The mental toll of controlling the Black Flame had been immense, and even he needed to rest and recover.

Half a day later, Yi Beidou’s condition returned to its peak. He snapped his eyes open, and his consciousness immediately used the radio as a medium to enter the Human Dao River.
