Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 160 - 156: A Will Like the Starry Sky, Gods and Buddhas in a Well (3)

"I will be the first human to hatch and truly walk this vast universe. Today, I will make you understand the true meaning of a boundless sky."

Devi looked up at the Divine Buddhas descending from the sky, his expression calm as he spoke.

Humans are fragile.

Without the protection of Earth’s environment, directly exposed to the void of space, even a Saint Expert would perish under the various cosmic rays and immense forces of the universe.

Ultimately, humanity, along with the so-called Immortals and Buddhas of history, are nothing more than infants in the great cradle that is Earth.

He would do what no one had done before: truly break free from the protection of this cradle, stand tall in the cosmos, and stride out into the sea of stars.

Facing the Divine Buddhas that filled the sky, Devi slowly spread his arms.

The next moment.

VMM!!

A dazzling, incandescent light of myriad colors suddenly erupted from his body, blasting out in all directions.

The majestic and terrifying figures of the Divine Buddhas dissolved like ice and snow wherever the rays of light touched them.

Simultaneously, the world around them began to change.

A dark, boundless, starry sky enveloped everything, instantly reversing the transformation of the world and wresting control of it from Ding Huiyuan’s grasp.

And Devi, standing amidst the starry sky, looked like the sovereign of the boundless Void.

This is...

Ding Huiyuan’s pupils contracted. This time, it was he who was being strongly influenced by his opponent’s True Intent.

The air seemed to vanish. Gravity’s influence disappeared. Terrifying magnetic fields, like cosmic rays, pierced his body, affecting his internal "True Qi."

Ding Huiyuan’s was the Only Me Dharma Realm—a world where he alone was the revered one, supreme in heaven and on earth.

But Devi’s True Intent was that the world was merely a cradle, a cage. Only the endless starry sky was humanity’s future.

Even the most supreme Immortals and Buddhas were nothing but frogs in a well.

SWOOSH!!

In the next instant, the boundless starry sky abruptly contracted, vanishing without a trace.

Everything on the surrounding street returned to normal, without the slightest change.

There was no ferryman, no Celestial Court or Ling Mountain in the sky, no heavens filled with Divine Buddhas.

Devi had used his own True Intent to forcibly suppress Ding Huiyuan’s Only Me Dharma Realm, shattering all the illusions at once and returning the world to "reality."

"Your power is great, but you have failed to transcend the limits of your civilization and perspective. You do not stand at the vanguard of the age. The future belongs to me, not you."

At some point, Devi had already turned and begun to walk away, his voice the only thing left echoing down the street.

His figure grew hazy, as if he were walking into the Void itself, and vanished before their very eyes.

Ding Huiyuan watched him go, standing silently in place as a trickle of blood ran from his nose.

The otherworldly glow around him faded. He wiped away the blood, a helpless smile touching his lips.

’He’s really something else.’

Ding Huiyuan took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

His will wasn’t so fragile as to be shaken by a few words.

It was just that... the man was truly someone he couldn’t handle.

The strongest of the Starry Sky Country’s Three Saints of Sea, Land, and Air was certainly no pushover.

He was riding the crest of this era’s Great Trend.

"A tough nut to crack... Better to let someone just as tough have a go. I’m actually a little excited to see it."

Ding Huiyuan muttered to himself and turned to walk away.

’Yi Beidou, that man is probably here for you.’

’I wonder how you two measure up?’
