Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 238 - 206: Suppressing the God in Person, Annihilating and Shattering Hope with a Single Palm

The Demon Flame, condensed like crystalline amber, blazed fiercely, enveloping the giant Shikigami’s entire body.

Scorched by the Demon Flame, the giant Shikigami’s body inevitably began to melt, twist, and compress.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Flame had the ability to refine the magnetic fields of heaven and earth. And while the giant Shikigami possessed the traits of a Deity, it was, at its core, nothing more than a mass of magnetic field.

Furthermore, as a newly born "Deity," this vast, self-contained magnetic field was like a newborn infant—a blank slate. It had not yet developed any complex "traits" or, for that matter, a "doctrine."

For instance, the Blood Ancestor that Elena from Western Europe communed with had an inherent craving for blood. Once invoked, it drove its "followers" into a berserk state where they could not restrain their impulses. The "God" of the Church Court, on the other hand, had an exceptionally tyrannical magnetic field; one had to offer up their piety just to borrow its power.

But this "Deity" had not yet had time to develop such traits. Otherwise, Tsuchimikado Kazai could never have so easily projected his consciousness into the Divine Body to become its master.

If Tsuchimikado Kazai could control this magnetic field through his connection to the Divine Altar, then so could others.

One would just need a force capable of suppressing both Tsuchimikado Kazai and the Divine Power, while also possessing the might of Refinement.

In other words, as long as Yi Beidou was strong enough, he could attempt to "refine" this Deity with his Heaven-Devouring Demon Flame at minimal cost, feeding its immense Magnetic Field Power back into himself.

This was precisely why, after probing the "Deity’s" nature, Yi Beidou had called it a "tonic."

At that moment, Yi Beidou opened his mouth as if to inhale. The surrounding air currents surged, and the Demon Flame flowed back toward him, carrying the trapped "Deity" along with it, inching it toward his mouth.

’What in the world is this guy trying to do?’

Outside the Heaven-Reaching Lodge, the expressions of the Japanese Saint Realm experts changed as they watched. A dreadful feeling crept into their hearts.

’What is he planning? Does he intend to swallow that mass of magnetic field—the "Deity"—into his own body?’

’Is he insane?’

’This feeling...’

Inside the main house, Tsuchimikado Kazai’s face twitched violently, his eyes squeezed shut. He felt an irresistible force pulling at the magnetic field under his control, as if threatening to drag it into a bottomless abyss.

Within the Divine Altar, the candle flames swayed violently, a sign that the newly formed "Divine Format" was already unstable.

’Dammit! What kind of monster is he?!’

’I can’t let him devour it! The consequences will be disastrous.’

A crazed glint flashed in Tsuchimikado Kazai’s eyes.

The seal on his palm shifted. Spell Chains shot out from his body; some pierced toward the Divine Altar to strengthen his connection to the "Deity," while others passed directly through the walls of the main house to wrap around the Divine Body outside.

It was like a game of tug-of-war.

But even with Tsuchimikado Kazai using his full strength, the Divine Body was still being slowly dragged toward Yi Beidou.

"Tsuchimikado’s situation looks grim. We need to find a way to help him."

The hunched old man said calmly.

The others nodded in agreement.

VMM!!

They abruptly channeled their Qi and blood, their bodies glowing as waves of murderous intent surged forth, locking onto Yi Beidou from several kilometers away.

In a duel between masters, a sudden spiritual interference, even from kilometers away, was enough to force Yi Beidou to divert his attention.

But that was not the extent of their actions.

A fierce light erupted from the hunched old man’s eyes. He instantly gathered all the murderous intent they had released into a single point, amplifying its effect several times over.

Soul-Devouring Song!

On the battlefield, Yi Beidou’s gaze was unavoidably drawn toward the location of the Japanese Saint Realm experts. From kilometers away, he felt as if he could see a pair of piercing eyes magnifying within his very senses.

In that instant, the hair on his body stood on end. His Life Magnetic Field actually trembled, showing it had been affected.

CLANG!

In the instant he was distracted, the Spell Chains yanked hard, pulling most of the Divine Body out from the shroud of Demon Flame.

With the interference from outside factors, Tsuchimikado Kazai seemed to have gained the upper hand.

However, it was only for a fleeting moment.

BOOM!!

A much stronger aura erupted from Yi Beidou’s body, completely shattering all external influences.

Celestial Demon Dissolution, Sixth Layer of Reverse Chaos.

This was the most extreme state he could currently master.

After deactivating the Sixth Layer of Reverse Chaos, his body would be grievously injured, but recovery was still possible. If he went beyond the Sixth Layer, however, the reversal of his magnetic field would be irreversible. No matter what remedy he tried, he would be doomed to die once the Secret Technique ended.

BOOM!!

In the distance, the bodies of the Japanese Saint Realm experts trembled as their spiritual lock on him was shattered. Two streams of bloody tears flowed from the hunched old man’s cloudy eyes.

"This young man... is truly impressive."

The hunched old man lamented softly.

FWOOSH!!

Back on the field, empowered by Yi Beidou’s Sixth Layer of Reverse Chaos, the Demon Flame erupted once more. It completely re-enveloped the Divine Body, and even engulfed the main house where Tsuchimikado Kazai was staying.

This time, Tsuchimikado Kazai lost all ability to resist.

Within the Demon Flame, the massive Divine Body twisted and compressed at a rate visible to the naked eye, becoming a blurry mass. Then, with a single inhale from Yi Beidou, it was swallowed into his belly and vanished without a trace.
