Chapter 606 - 375: Innate Golden Dew, One God Appears and Severs 100 Lifetimes

Yi Beidou spoke, and with a flick of his finger, seven Black Flame Long Nails shot out, piercing the Jade Emperor's body.

Instantly, a layer of Black Flame ignited on the Jade Emperor's body, accompanied by the sizzling sound of roasting flesh and blood.

Yi Beidou stood up.

"You have rendered great service to the mortal world in the past. If you can subdue the Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars and walk the earth once more, then this Immortal Palace and everything within it will remain under your control. No one else will interfere."

Yi Beidou made a promise.

Then, with a grasp of his hand, he lifted the giant piece of jade into his palm and prepared to turn and leave.

Just then, the Jade Emperor, still enveloped in Black Flame, suddenly spoke.

"Among the seven Root Sources, I am not the strongest. There is another, an unprecedented existence, unrivaled across a hundred generations. He founded the world's first Secret Organization."

"You were born a demon, but this man was born a god. He possessed the Cultivation and enlightenment for apotheosis from birth. It is said he was the first to research the method of subduing and achieving the Refinement of Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood. He may be your greatest adversary."

"That man is named 'Innate.'"

After saying this, the Jade Emperor re-entered a state of meditation, focusing on dealing with the tribulation brought by the Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars.

'Innate, huh?'

Yi Beidou's expression remained unchanged as he left the grand hall, carrying the giant piece of jade.

With a wave of his hand, he reverted Wumo Zui back into an energy state and absorbed it into his body, then departed from the celestial palace floating beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

And because the Jade Emperor had severed his past, his heavy "shadow" within the long history of the Human Dao River gradually dissipated, completely merging into the present world. All the Ancient Ones across the world sensed it.

"Another Root Source has fallen?! Given this terrifying weight, this person must have been an extremely ancient existence among the seven Root Sources, possessing unimaginable power and influence!"

"Even an existence like that has fallen?! Thousands of years of glory, scattered in a single day..."

"How much time has passed? Root Sources are falling one after another. They hid so deeply that for ages, almost no one could find a trace of them. This means the powerhouse of this era has found a way to locate them!"

"If even these Root Sources can be found, how can the other Ancient Ones possibly escape? That person will sweep through the world until no hidden existences remain. This is an inescapable, rolling calamity!"

"..."

Many ancient existences could no longer remain calm. One by one, they fully emerged from their slumber and returned to the world.

Originally, the appearance of a peerless figure would not have frightened them. They were well aware of human fragility and short lifespans. As long as they remained in slumber, this era would eventually pass.

The being who suppressed the world would either perish or, like them, walk the same path of life extension.

But now, this mentality of hiding in their shells was completely shattered.

The powerhouse of this era was not only terrifyingly strong but also possessed the ability to see through the mist and uncover hidden truths. They could no longer hide.

If they didn't act now, what awaited them was annihilation!

Just as the hidden existences all over the world began to awaken and act urgently, Yi Beidou returned to Penglai Immortal Mountain, completely unnoticed.

「In Penglai Pavilion.」

Next to a headless, jade-like body covered in black patterns.

Yang Mutong was dressed in a tight black outfit, with what seemed to be black smoke emanating from her body, faintly forming the shape of a ferocious black peacock.

Just two days ago, she had successfully suppressed the Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars within her, allowing her to advance further. At this moment, she was still consolidating her Saint Realm.

Suddenly, she snapped her eyes open.

Just a moment ago, she had felt a slight daze, as if time had frozen for an instant.

'Was it my imagination?'

A hint of confusion flickered in Yang Mutong's eyes, but in the next moment, her pupils constricted to pinpoints.

The Headless Immortal Corpse, which had been right near her, had vanished at some unknown point. Only a few wisps of Black Flame remained on the ground, tracing a line of words.

I have taken the Immortal Corpse for another purpose.

'Was it... Mr. Yi?'

'That makes sense. Perhaps only Mr. Yi could do something like this so silently.'

'Besides, those words were formed from Black Flame. Who else in the world can control Black Flame besides Mr. Yi?'

'But why would Mr. Yi suddenly take the Immortal Corpse? What is he planning to do?'

'If he's already back, why won't he even show himself?'

A hundred thoughts raced through Yang Mutong's mind. She finally stood up, walked out of Penglai Pavilion, and reported the situation.

Soon after, the news was reported to the higher-ups at the Special Security Bureau.

Meanwhile, Wei Cheng, Wang Chen, and the others were in a meeting. Attendees included not only high-ranking masters from Donghua but also several leaders of the God-Sealing Alliance.

Donghua and the God-Sealing Alliance had now reached a relatively deep level of cooperation.

The fall of a Root Source was far too significant. The leaders of the God-Sealing Alliance had also sensed it, so they had come immediately to inquire, wanting to know what Yi Beidou was doing and what his plans were.

"Just a short while ago, we sensed that another terrifying Root Source has fallen. That person originated from Donghua, was known as the Jade Emperor, and looked down upon the world, leaving behind endless legends. His power was unfathomable."

"We want to know, was it Mr. Yi who acted? What kind of plan does Mr. Yi have? We hope you all can tell us the truth."

Long Yichen asked Wei Cheng and the others with an extremely serious expression.

Yi Beidou now truly dominated the world, reigning supreme.

It was as if a god walked the earth.

His every move had far-reaching consequences.

"We... have already told you everything we know. I can swear on my own Dao that I'm telling the truth."

Wei Cheng and the others opened their mouths to speak, but they didn't know what Yi Beidou was planning either.

They only knew that Yi Beidou had gone to the Starry Sky Country to find the truth about his master.

As for what was happening now, Yi Beidou hadn't communicated with them at all.

Just then, Wei Cheng's dedicated phone suddenly rang. After listening to the brief report, his expression became unsettled.

"Mr. Wei Cheng, has something happened?"

Durand asked in a deep voice.

"It's nothing. Just some internal matters."

Wei Cheng hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to reveal the matter to the others.

It would only cause unnecessary panic.

But Durand and the others were no fools. For Wei Cheng to lose his composure like that, it couldn't be a simple matter.

It was most likely related to Yi Beidou.

The leaders of the God-Sealing Alliance exchanged glances, their faces filled with unease.

Yi Beidou's "weight" was too terrifying. For such a figure to suddenly make an unusual move, it was hard for them not to feel afraid.

'I wonder... if we risked our lives to summon the Celestial Monarch, could we even restrain Yi Beidou in the slightest?'

As Yi Beidou retrieved the Headless Immortal Corpse and returned to the Beretta laboratory...

「Australia.」

Inside a private library.

Dressed in casual clothes, Innate stood in the center of the room with his arms crossed. A faint golden mist emanated from his body, like tentacles, curling around two books and presenting them before him, one on the left and one on the right.

Under the sweep of the golden mist, the books' pages flipped rapidly. The speed was so great that an ordinary person couldn't even make out the words on the pages—it could only be described as "quantum reading."

But Innate could not only read them normally, he could read both at the same time.

His left and right eyes moved up and down rapidly and independently, engraving the contents of both books into his mind.

A book hundreds of pages thick wouldn't last two minutes with him.

By now, the floor was covered with a mountain of read books.

After waking up several days ago, he had come here. After spending about fifteen minutes learning the world's major languages, he had maintained this hair-raising reading speed ever since.

Innate was learning about everything that had happened in the human world during his more than three thousand years of slumber at an utterly terrifying pace.

As he read, an occasional look of contemplation would cross his face.

Even with his formidable brain, reading at such a speed made it impossible to conduct in-depth research on the complex knowledge. However, it was more than enough for him to understand the modern world.

He might even gain a deeper understanding than those born in this era.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Just then, the door was knocked upon, and an old man in a classical robe, his skin as translucent as jade, walked into the study.

"Lord Innate, my apologies for the disturbance. Just a short while ago, four Secret Organizations contacted us through special channels. Their founders wish to meet with you to discuss how to deal with the powerhouse of this era."

The old man said respectfully, bowing low.
