Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 250 - 211: The Calamity Descends, Bearing a Myriad of Divine Powers

The livestream broadcast Tanaka Shoukichi’s entire process of using Life Reviving Pill Force to reverse his age, presenting it before every viewer and sparking a massive debate.

An old man who looked to have one foot in the grave transformed into a dashingly handsome young man in the span of a few breaths. The contrast was simply staggering.

"God! That old man actually became young again?! For his body to reverse its aging in such a short amount of time... that’s completely unscientific!"

"It’s practically a human miracle! If this technology could be fully developed, its value would be immeasurable!"

"I was wrong! I sincerely apologize. I used to make fun of this old man online! I was truly blind to his greatness!"

"Maybe the rumors online were true after all. That old man really was the number one master in Asia. I believe it now!"

"..."

At this moment, spurred on by this miraculous scene, everyone finally believed that the decrepit-looking old man wasn’t just some attention-seeking hack, but a being who truly possessed great Divine Power.

A Martial Artist from Japan’s older generation, once the best in all of Asia!

Just as Tanaka Shoukichi had predicted, all doubt would vanish the moment he made his move.

This time, could the Great Demon King be defeated?

「Below the Tokyo Tower.」

Yi Beidou was unaware of the discussions raging in the outside world. His gaze was fixed intently on the cyan Tomoe floating in Tanaka Shoukichi’s palm.

From that Tomoe, he sensed the aura of a familiar Life Magnetic Field.

Back when he had just achieved his Ascension and embarked on his martial arts journey, he had followed the intuition of his Celestial Demon Sensing to the Dao Field of the Cyan Wood Heart Intent Sect.

There, through an old pagoda tree, he used Synesthesia to connect with the past, allowing him to meet a Martial Saint predecessor and be taught his Saint Truth.

His name was Feng Hua Chuan.

And now, the aura of the cyan Tomoe in Tanaka Shoukichi’s palm was identical to Feng Hua Chuan’s.

It was as if Feng Hua Chuan’s Life Magnetic Field had been condensed and was now being held in this man’s hand.

Back then, not long after his Ascension, Feng Hua Chuan probably hadn’t even had time to fully consolidate his realm before he went to Tianmu Mountain to fight in the great war between the Donghua Saint Realm and the Twelve Martial Saints of Japan. He had ultimately fallen there.

He had never imagined that Feng Hua Chuan’s Life Magnetic Field had been stolen and subjected to Refinement by the man before him, and that it still hadn’t completely dissipated even now.

Although only the Life Magnetic Field remained, devoid of consciousness, this was still a great desecration.

’He can’t find peace!’

In an instant, Yi Beidou’s eyes grew incredibly sharp. A tidal wave of killing intent surged from him, and his Demon Flame erupted toward the sky like a pillar of light.

He still owed Feng Hua Chuan a karmic debt that he had yet to fully repay.

’How can I just stand by and watch as his essence is controlled by an enemy, unable to find peace?’

"It seems you have some connection to the original owner of this ’jewel’."

Seeing Yi Beidou’s reaction, Tanaka Shoukichi was completely unfazed by the overwhelming killing intent. A smile played on his lips.

"To be honest, the original owner of this jewel was quite talented. He broke through to the Saint Realm at only thirty-five, which was very rare in those days. The Health Care Skill he mastered also helped me a great deal. It’s a pity he hadn’t fully matured, so he can’t be considered my most prized ’collection’."

Tanaka Shoukichi said with a smile. As he spoke, he spread his arms slightly, and the cyan Tomoe slowly floated upward.

VMMMM!!

Clusters of Life Magnetic Fields suddenly erupted from his body. The violent fluctuations created a hazy, seven-colored radiance in a ten-meter radius around him. Within this radiance, Tomoe of various colors condensed into being, floating around Tanaka Shoukichi’s body.

A quick glance from Yi Beidou revealed a full dozen of them!

These Tomoe, condensed from light, each had a different aura and a remarkably complete structure.

Their essence was somewhat similar to phantom soldiers or Shikigami, yet completely different. These Life Magnetic Fields weren’t drawn from nature or "Deities," but were condensed from individuals.

Each "Tomoe" represented a master of the Saint Realm!

The number of Saints who had died at his hands had reached an astonishing figure.

「Donghua, Special Security Bureau Headquarters.」

Wei Cheng stared at the livestream, watching the Tomoe circling Tanaka Shoukichi. Even though he couldn’t truly perceive their auras through the screen, he could still vaguely distinguish the features of familiar figures among them.

Those people were all masters who had reached the Saint Realm during a time of national crisis. Many of them had even been his friends or his seniors.

But when the Twelve Martial Saints of Japan entered Donghua and conducted a great purge of the entire Donghua Martial Arts Realm, some of these people had died in battle, while others had simply disappeared.

To think that most of them had died at this man’s hands, becoming his collection of "jewels."

Tanaka Shoukichi, the leader of the Twelve Martial Saints back then, was known as the "Soul Devourer."

He was originally a Shinto Priest from Japan who cultivated a Spirit Secret Technique called the "Soul-Suppressing Song." But the man was exceptionally talented. He combined this Exotic Technique with various Taoist Skills—such as phantom soldiers, prayer, the Divine Dao, and Shikigami—and modified the Spirit Secret Technique.

Thus, the "Soul-Suppressing Song" became the "Soul-Devouring Song."

He could extract the Life Magnetic Fields of the opponents he killed, condense them into "jewels," and store them within himself, making them part of his own power.

It was a Secret Technique with terrifying growth potential.

When the Twelve Martial Saints purged the Donghua Martial Arts Realm, countless Martial Saints died at his hands, allowing his power to grow to an unfathomable level.
