Chapter 614 -379: Annihilation of the Celestial Demon, Yi Beidou’s Solitary Path

“However, you are barely thirty years old. Given another sixty years, to what heights could you grow? I will not take advantage of you. I shall demonstrate my Dao and Skill, but I will not see it to completion. I will only maintain it for an hour at most. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own destiny. Once the time is up, I will no longer hold anything back,”

Xian Tian said, his expression calm.

He wasn’t looking for victory or defeat. Only a truly equal opponent could give him a chance to ascend once more.

“You underestimate me and overestimate yourself. Why would I need you to hold back?”

Yi Beidou’s gaze was profound. Then, he did something that shocked even Xian Tian.

FWOOM!

A faint layer of Black Flame once again rose from Yi Beidou’s body. He took a sudden, sharp breath, and the surrounding air, energy, and magnetic fields were pulled by his body and the Black Flame, surging madly into him.

The Innate Golden Dew released by Xian Tian was no exception.

It was as if he were about to swallow the entire Sky.

Demon Flame… Heaven-Devouring!!

As the blood and qi surged violently within Yi Beidou, the Innate Golden Dew that had triggered the Celestial Defect Skill was instantly dispersed to every corner of his body.

At the same time, the Celestial Defect Skill was triggered, and terrifying energy vacuums erupted throughout Yi Beidou’s body.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A chain of silent explosions erupted from within Yi Beidou’s body. Even the physical fortitude of an Earth Immortal’s true form could not withstand such destruction. Chunks of flesh and blood burst out, transforming into balls of blazing Black Flame in mid-air due to the energy imbalance.

In an instant, Yi Beidou’s body was grievously wounded, riddled with gaping holes. Even his internal organs and bones were severely damaged, leaving him like a broken puppet.

Such injuries would have instantly killed even a Root Source. Despite Yi Beidou’s mastery of the Penglai Technique, he was still critically wounded.

He had never been so severely injured since his Ascension.

This act was nothing short of self-mutilation.

“You…”

Xian Tian’s mouth fell slightly open.

“I understand now.”

Just then, the grievously injured Yi Beidou spoke, his eyes gleaming with an almost cruelly calm light.

But his appearance at this moment conveyed a potent sense of madness.

How can one truly live without embracing madness?

The next moment, Yi Beidou’s spirit and will ascended once more. His Celestial Demon Sensing seeped into the elusive Void, and seven points of light like Black Jade stars appeared in the shape of the Beidou Seven Stars within his ruined chest.

The Penglai Technique activated. Chains from the Immortal Talisman spread throughout his mangled torso, and his fatal injuries began to mend at an incredible speed.

At the same time…

BOOM!!!

The faint layer of Black Flame around him flared violently once more, sweeping through the Void with a terrifying power that seemed to burn and devour all.

‘Celestial Defect? The Heavenly Dao?’

‘From the moment of its birth, Yi Beidou’s Demon Flame was meant to devour the heavens and make all of creation its own.’

‘If the heavens will not bend to my will, then I shall devour them!’

In the Void, the Innate Golden Dew was actually receding. The deep energetic realm permeated by the Heaven Repairing Skill was being counter-invaded. At an even deeper level, the Black Flame ignited the energy, erupting with even more terrifying power.

The Celestial Defect and the Golden Dew were being scattered and devoured!

“Divine Intent entering the Void!”

Even for a being like Xian Tian, unique in all of history, a look of unconcealable shock flashed in his eyes.

‘Yi Beidou was right. He had underestimated this young man and overestimated himself.’

‘The man needed no deliberate instruction from him. He devoured the Innate Golden Dew himself, embracing the great terror between life and death. With that unbelievably frenzied demonic perception, he forcefully branded a deeper level of awareness into his very instincts. In a single instant, he had broken through to the next realm of the Immortal Talisman.’

‘How utterly world-shattering?!’

‘This was a realm that true Earth Immortals could spend millennia studying and still fail to master!’

And Yi Beidou’s ascent was not over yet.

As his Immortal Talisman reached the next level and his Divine Intent entered the Void, he instantly gained a more profound understanding of energy, Immortal Power, and the Black Flame.

‘Ever since the Celestial Demon Dissolution, he had never created a new Secret Technique, merely followed the paths of those who came before.’

‘But now, he finally had an epiphany. He was going to create a new Divine Power!’

‘Immortal Acupoints… I can’t reach that state yet. But I can simulate an effect similar to the Immortal Acupoints I envision and create a Secret Technique from it.’

Yi Beidou’s eyes filled with a brilliant light.

VMMMM!

The Seven Stars-shape within his body shifted rapidly. The Black Flame inside compressed again and again, seeming to form acupoints that connected to some unknown corner of the Void.

The moment the Seven Stars acupoints formed, terrifying energy instantly flooded Yi Beidou’s body, and the surging Black Flame erupted like a nuclear bomb.

The vast energy of the natural world, drawn by his Heaven-Devouring trait, poured endlessly into these seven acupoints, as if seven black holes had been born inside Yi Beidou’s body.

These Seven Stars acupoints were like seven reactors. The powerful Black Flame was compressed within, reaching deep into the Void to break down, burn, and release the devoured energy at a fundamental level.

All the terrifying energy produced in this process was converted for Yi Beidou’s own use.

In a sense, miniature “nuclear reactions” were now constantly taking place inside Yi Beidou’s body.

It was an unprecedented sensation. Yi Beidou felt as if the energy within him was now endless.

In the past, using Immortal Power had placed a great burden on his Physical Ability, so he couldn’t attack as casually or as boundlessly as a Root Source.

But now, although he still lacked the physical metamorphosis and limitless lifespan of a true Earth Immortal, on an energetic level, Yi Beidou had truly closed the gap!
