Chapter 611 -378: The Celestial Demon’s Annihilation, Yi Beidou’s Solitary Way

The terrifying spiritual shockwave from the simultaneous fall of four Root Sources rippled throughout the Hidden Realm. News of the event soon reached the Mortal World via the God-Sealing Alliance, causing a massive uproar.

Soon, even more shocking news spread across the world.

In a complete reversal of its usual behavior, the Original Vein was no longer hiding in the shadows. Instead, it brazenly announced to the entire human world through various channels that Innate would challenge Yi Beidou to a battle in Australia.

“Four Root Sources have fallen! Of the world’s Seven Great Secret Organizations, the only Root Source left is this Innate from the Original Vein. And I hear he’s the most ancient of the seven Root Sources!”

“Not only that, but it’s said that this same Innate was the one who killed those four Root Sources. He is a naturally born sacred being, one of a kind throughout all of history, a miracle of life on Earth.”

“Yi Beidou, the apex of this era, the hegemon who reigns over Earth; Innate, an ancient, naturally born sacred being, a deity whose power transcends all of history. Between the two of them, who will emerge victorious?”

“This isn’t about victory or defeat for them. It’s about the ultimate Dao. Innate has waited for eons for someone who could match him, to use battle to stimulate his Qi and blood, to use life and death to steel his will, and finally, to leap the Dragon Gate and shatter that eternal chasm!”

“…”

Members of the Seven Great Secret Organizations gathered. No one could remain dormant during such a Great Trend. All the hidden existences had awakened. It could be said this was the most complete assembly of their members since each organization’s founding.

“This is a world-shaking battle, unprecedented in history. I’m preparing to head to Australia to watch.”

“Are you crazy? Both Innate and Yi Beidou seem hostile toward us. Isn’t this just walking into a trap?”

“Do we have a choice? No matter who wins, if one of them truly breaks through that chasm, we’ll have nowhere to hide. It’s better to get involved. We might even witness a miracle, and it could be beneficial for our Cultivation.”

“We’ve cowered for thousands of years. Have we lost even the courage to go and watch? This era is an endless tide of tribulation. Perhaps our only glimmer of hope for survival is to get involved.”

“…”

Similar discussions were taking place at the gatherings of every Secret Organization.

Even the Root Sources couldn’t hide themselves. Where could people like them possibly go?

It was better to go and personally witness this battle for the Dao, a once-in-an-eon event.

They may have taken the wrong path and committed many sins, but every single one who had come this far still harbored the dream of seeking the Dao.

Martial Artists in the Mortal World had also received the news, and many immediately began heading to Australia.

Discussions across the global internet also grew heated.

“What’s going on? What the hell is this Original Vein? And who is this Innate guy? He actually dares to challenge Yi Beidou?”

“I don’t know. Seems like one of those rumored Secret Organizations? Weren’t you guys paying attention to what happened in the Starry Sky Country not long ago? Yi Beidou fought some mysterious being. Everyone within a hundred-kilometer radius was evacuated, and I heard that even the highest peak in the Starry Sky Country was sheared down by over a thousand meters. That mysterious being was supposedly the leader of one of those Secret Organizations.”

“Gossip mill says this Innate guy has lived for over ten thousand years.”

“Your info is wrong. The latest I’ve heard is that he’s lived for over a hundred thousand years.”

“You’re all wrong. They say that when Earth was first born, a human-shaped rock was formed. Every so often, after a long, long time, it would grow an aperture, and this Innate is…”

“Wrong story, bro.”

“…”

The news spread like wildfire, even causing the entirety of Australia to be placed under martial law.

It could be said that this public declaration from the Original Vein brought countless top-tier Martial Artists and Cultivators, from the Earth Immortal Era to the present day, to the isolated continent of Australia.

「In the Human Dao River.」

Hong Datong’s figure materialized above the river. He gazed at the increasingly turbulent waves and surging tides, his eyes profound.

‘Innate is stirring the tides of the Human Dao. He’s building momentum. He wants this battle to take place at the highest point in the history of human civilization.’

‘A grand and unstoppable Great Trend, the will of the people… Watched by all from past and present, he will either achieve ultimate ascension or fade into oblivion…’

Hong Datong muttered to himself.

He hadn’t expected that this unprecedented battle would occur before his own grand plan could come to fruition.

「Three days later, in Australia’s Blue Mountain Range.」

Centered on a certain point in the mountain range, the figures of Martial Artists could be seen dotted everywhere within a hundred-kilometer radius.

They came from every country in the world, and even from different eras of human civilization.

Some were enemies, others held ancient grudges. A gathering like this hadn’t occurred in millennia, and many of them were names lost to history.

But now, they were all gathered here without any conflict. The number of Martial Artists at or above the Saint Realm had nearly surpassed a thousand.

Unprecedented. To say it was an event worthy of the history books would be an understatement.

Regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, everyone standing here had once been a seeker of the Dao.

They, too, yearned to witness the birth of a miracle.

Everyone looked toward a certain spot in the Blue Mountain Range. Atop one of the peaks, a tall and imposing figure sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.

Although the crowd was dozens of kilometers away from the man, looking directly at his figure produced a strange optical illusion that pulled him closer, making him appear with perfect clarity.

It was as if that man were the center of heaven and earth, the protagonist of nature itself.

Innate!

Given who he was, he could truly be called a favored child of Heaven and Earth.

“He actually has the body of a pure mortal. How in the world did he achieve that?!”
