Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 158 - 156: A Mind Like a Starry Sky, Myriad Divine Buddhas as Frogs in a Well

Ordinary people couldn’t "see" Devi Punk’s presence. Or perhaps, they did see him, but their minds and senses would automatically ignore him, which led to the current situation.

The influence of his magnetic field and the bewilderment of his Heart Intent kept his true form hidden from others.

Even Ding Huiyuan had rarely, in his entire life, witnessed a magnetic field as intense as the one radiating from this man.

The last time he observed such a powerful magnetic field was on Dragon Tiger Mountain, when the Elder Celestial Master’s Dharma Body manifested and he achieved his Ascension in broad daylight.

"Ding Huiyuan? According to the intel they gave us, there wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy about you. I didn’t expect you to be the first one to see through my concealment. It seems you’ve hidden your true strength. We’ve all underestimated you."

Devi spoke in exceptionally fluent and authentic Donghua Language.

The man was a true prodigy, fluent in all the world’s major languages. It had only taken him half a month to completely master the Donghua Language.

The moment Devi spoke, his presence was no longer hidden from those around him. The two girls next to Ding Huiyuan felt their vision blur for a moment, and then a tall, handsome white man, beautiful as a Sun God, inexplicably appeared before them. They were both startled and couldn’t help but quietly step back.

Meanwhile, the photographer who had been watching the area immediately noticed Devi’s appearance, his heart pounding.

’The person I photographed... was him?! He doesn’t look like a ghost?!’

’Could it be...’

He couldn’t help but recall a popular term that had been trending wildly online recently.

’Body Ascension?!’

At the same time, many pedestrians on the street had noticed the abnormality here. They stopped in their tracks, their gazes drawn over, and began to whisper among themselves.

"I simply dislike fighting, and most people aren’t worth my time. You, however, are an exception. The strongest of the Starry Sky Country’s new generation. Smoke?"

Ding Huiyuan pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked one toward Devi, then took one for himself. He lit it with a snap of his fingers and put it in his mouth.

It was just an ordinary cigarette.

But not just any man was worthy of being offered a cigarette by him personally.

Devi caught the cigarette with a slight smile. He placed it between his palms and pressed them together.

VMMM!!

The next moment, a crimson light emanated from Devi’s palms, and the temperature seemed to rise rapidly.

He applied Emitting Force to his palms, rubbing them back and forth. Thick white smoke began to seep out from between his fingers.

The cigarette had been crushed between his hands, the tobacco leaves igniting from the intense heat generated by the friction, releasing a plume of smoke.

Then, something even more magical happened.

The rising smoke didn’t dissipate. Instead, as if guided by some unseen force, it gathered in front of Devi, coalescing into a cloud the size of an adult’s head.

Moreover, this cloud of smoke began to change shape. One moment it looked like a small dog, the next it resembled the old-fashioned buildings nearby, and then it transformed into the shape of a bird in the sky...

To the onlookers, this incredible transformation was as magical as a magic trick, drawing gasps of amazement.

Seeing this, Ding Huiyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Formless things gather and scatter due to formless Qi.

When a magnetic field converges, it affects these formless things.

For example, in the mountains, a concentrated magnetic field causes the earth’s Qi to condense, forming fog and mist.

But to be able to do it to Devi’s degree... aside from the great power of nature itself, he had never seen anything like it.

One step further, and it would likely reach the terrifying realm of Mind Control.

The cloud of smoke in front of Devi shifted a few more times before finally returning to its original form.

HSSS!!

Devi took a light breath, and the entire cloud of smoke flowed into his mouth without a wisp escaping.

And at that very moment, Ding Huiyuan had just finished his cigarette.

"How do you want to compete? Tell me."

Devi said, looking at Ding Huiyuan before him.

"I’m not one for physical combat. Since you have the ability to delude the masses, I’d like to see if you, in turn, can be deluded by another."

"So let’s compete to see if you can attain ’the truth’ from me."

Ding Huiyuan said, a glint in his eye.

"’Attain the truth’? Interesting, very interesting!"

"Come on, then. Show me what you’ve got."

Hearing Ding Huiyuan’s words, an even more unbridled smile spread across Devi’s face.

’Someone actually wants to deceive me with illusions?’

’How unbelievably audacious!’

Just then, the crowd of onlookers cried out in alarm. A brilliant light had appeared behind Ding Huiyuan’s head, forming a misty, seven-colored halo.

At the same time, a golden light flickered on his brow, forming the "Ban" symbol.

VMM! VMM!!

A dense, indistinct, and vast sound, like the rumbling of thunder or the chanting of sutras, began to echo in everyone’s ears, feeling almost deafening.

The crowd felt no discomfort, and their surroundings didn’t change at all. Devi, however, seemed to sense something, and the smile on his face grew even more wild.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!

Just then, an electric shuttle cart parked on the side of the street began to vibrate violently. Before everyone’s disbelieving eyes, cracks appeared on its body. Like a Transformer, the shuttle began to break down and reassemble, actually rising up on two legs.

A shuttle cart had become a "Shuttle Cart Man."

CRACK!!

With a movement of its hand, the humanoid shuttle cart violently ripped a nearby lamppost out of the ground. Holding it like a long weapon, it aimed it at Devi.

And this was only the beginning.
