Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 370 - 266: Reunion of Old Acquaintances, Discussing the Dao Again in a Foreign Land (Part 1)

Lotus gazed at the Golden Lotus in his hand, his palm stirring slightly.

CRACK!!

The Golden Lotus instantly disintegrated, transforming into streaks of golden light that flowed into the Lotus Platform beneath him.

He narrowed his eyes. Scenes flashed before them like a slideshow.

They were fragments from the Great Vow Master’s perspective during the battle.

The Great Vow Master, who had learned the method of the Corpse Heap from Lotus in a dream, was one of his pawns from the very beginning. They shared a profound connection, which allowed Lotus to use his body to accomplish incredible feats.

For instance, he had left a field of his Divine Power lingering in the Great Vow Master’s mind. This not only helped suppress the Master’s Demon Nature but also recorded the frequency of his consciousness fluctuations.

Once the Great Vow Master died, the Golden Lotus would retreat into the Void and return to the Lotus True Realm, carrying the corresponding frequency data for him to read.

Although some data would be lost in the process, resulting in incomplete and chaotic information, the images alone were enough for him to roughly piece together what had happened on site.

This man’s Divine Power had reached an incredible level.

’A forbidden art of the flesh, to regenerate without end?’

After reading the consciousness fragments recorded in the Golden Lotus, Lotus narrowed his eyes.

Yi Beidou’s strength had once again exceeded his expectations. He never imagined the man could wield power at the Immortal Forbidden Level without relying on external aid.

Furthermore, the incomplete battle fragments suggested that this wasn’t even the full extent of Yi Beidou’s combat strength.

But what concerned him most was the origin of Yi Beidou’s Secret Technique—that incredible regenerative power on par with the Immortal Forbidden Level.

According to intelligence gathered by the Pioneer Group, Yi Beidou hadn’t displayed any similar abilities during his battles in Japan.

’The only way he could have obtained this power is from the Alchemists.’

As one of the founders of the Pioneer Group, Lotus was well aware of the Alchemist lineage’s background. He knew of the existence of Penglai Immortal Mountain. And though he had never set foot on it himself, he had experienced the might of Penglai Power.

Yi Beidou had found Penglai Immortal Mountain’s location, fought a great battle with an Alchemist, and killed him. He must have witnessed the might of Penglai Power then.

’Did he comprehend this ability on Penglai Immortal Mountain?’

But only a few months had passed since he killed that Alchemist.

After all, the Alchemists’ ancestor had long ago taken or used all the important Immortal Treasures left on Penglai Immortal Mountain. That was how he became one of the most terrifying figures in the world today, leaving behind nothing but an empty, immovable shell.

’And yet, in just a few short months, the man still managed to grasp how to use Penglai Power without external aid?’

’It’s simply unbelievable!’

’A Technique of this level... which one of them hadn’t spent hundreds, even thousands of years to make any progress? And even then, many of them still had to rely on external artifacts to cast it.’

’Perfection of both body and soul?’

Lotus muttered to himself.

Huh?

But just then, his expression shifted.

Somewhere within his Lotus True Realm, the Void warped slightly. A nearly imperceptible red thread, exuding an ominous aura, was silently creeping toward him.

’It’s not easy to find this place, I’ll give you that. But to think you can uncover my location with just this... you’re far too naive.’

’It’s merely the power of Tribulation.’

Lotus flicked his finger. A single petal from the Golden Lotus Platform beneath him flew out, spinning like a razor’s edge as it sliced through the red thread.

The aura of Tribulation was instantly severed, retreating from the Lotus True Realm.

’Failed again?’

Yi Beidou raised an eyebrow, feeling the faint connection he had painstakingly established—by combining the aura of Tribulation with his Celestial Demon Sensing—get severed.

The last time he had tried to track the mysterious person across the ocean, he had also failed when the other party severed the connection using some unknown method.

’It seems Tribulation Sense isn’t omnipotent after all. It’s still incredibly difficult to use it to spy on beings of such terrifying power.’

’Lotus?’

Yi Beidou narrowed his eyes. He now knew who his opponent was.

When he had first emerged, this person had entered his dreams to meet him. His methods were simply inscrutable.

Even now, he still found that Divine Power to be profoundly mysterious, beyond comprehension. He was completely unable to analyze its principles.

’He understood. This must also be a type of Immortal Forbidden Technique.’

’No matter how you hide, you’ll have to show yourself eventually.’

Yi Beidou’s expression grew calm again. He stopped looking at the wreckage before him and instead turned his head in another direction.

There, he could still sense an aura in flight. Though its owner was trying desperately to hide, it was still locked firmly in the grasp of his Tribulation Sense.

’He couldn’t catch those old masters hiding in the shadows just yet, but a mere incarnation? It had no right to attack him and expect to get away clean.’

「Gibraltar.」

The members of the God-Sealing Organization had also received the intelligence report from Jerusalem.

"Yi Beidou appeared in Jerusalem, was besieged by six incarnations of the Ancient Ones, and he killed every last one of them?"

Even the leaders of the God-Sealing Organization looked astonished after receiving this report.

A coordinated attack by six Ancient One incarnations—that was a force capable of hunting down an Ancient One’s true body.

"And according to the report, that battle probably wasn’t even his limit. An eyewitness supposedly saw him leaving afterward and took a photo. His clothes were in tatters, but his body was completely unharmed."

The young Asian man said softly.
