Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 352 - 258: Each Their Own Divine Power; All Annihilated by One Cosmic Force

However, Devi, the one under siege, showed no fear. His expression was calm.

An attack of this level was, at least, worthy of him revealing more of his true strength.

HUM!!

A blazing light once again ignited at his navel, erupting in a dazzling glare in an instant.

The third wheel.

The navel wheel.

Erupt!!

BOOM!!

He squatted slightly and pushed his palms out to the sides. The stars of searing light condensed in his palms then exploded.

Supernova!!

The light submerged everything around them. The Blood Angel’s pupils contracted violently. He watched as the Blood Cross, condensed from his own Holy Blood, disintegrated within the light as if pierced by countless arrows until it was riddled with holes. Even his body, filled with Holy Blood and supposed to be highly immune to magnetic field damage, was experiencing intense discomfort.

Sha Xutuo faced the same problem. His Desert Sea Breathing Technique could not only annihilate magnetic fields but also simulate the state of a desert sea to defend against an opponent’s attacks.

No matter how powerful the force, it would only fade and sink upon striking the boundless desert sea.

To some extent, the abilities of the Blood Angel and Sha Xutuo were extremely effective counters to techniques utilizing True Qi. This was precisely why they had been sent to deal with Devi.

Devi’s profile was no secret; his greatest strength lay in the power of his True Qi.

But now, the situation had exceeded their expectations. Both the Blood Angel and Sha Xutuo felt their magnetic fields and bodies being penetrated, as if instantly riddled with holes. A searing discomfort burned through their internal organs, and their Life Magnetic Fields vibrated violently.

Devi was no longer the man he once was. In space, he had been baptized by countless cosmic rays. While his very essence grew stronger, he had also integrated these pervasive ray-based magnetic fields into his own Martial Arts Dao techniques.

His fist was now a true Starry Sky Fist!!

After the collision, the Blood Angel and Sha Xutuo were blasted back ten steps. Blood seeped from the pores all over their bodies, and it trickled from their noses and mouths. Shock filled their eyes.

"Your fists, your Daos, they’re outdated. Allow me to help you turn to dust!"

Devi stood his ground. As his gaze shifted, he saw a mass of profound darkness already lunging toward him.

This patch of darkness was so abrupt in reality that it looked as if a huge hole had been eroded into space itself.

Flesh was decaying, space was decaying, and even magnetic fields and light were decaying. That was why it appeared as a black, bottomless abyss where nothing could be perceived.

This was the Secret Technique unleashed by the Black Earl.

Divine Erosion.

Seeing this technique, which was filled with a thick aura of depravity and decay, the repelled Blood Angel frowned slightly.

The Black Earl was a member of the Illuminati. He had once been associated with the Church Court and was one of the legendary "Fallen Angels." He had a history of conflict with the Judicial Court, to which the Blood Angel belonged.

But he had to admit the power of this Divine Erosion. It was likely the ultimate Secret Technique this avatar of the Black Earl could use, and the avatar itself would surely suffer immense damage as a result.

Then, the expressions of the three Ancient One avatars shifted slightly as they seemed to realize something.

They had figured out the Black Earl’s intention.

After Devi had withstood the attacks of the three of them, this man had suddenly launched an all-out assault, willing to sacrifice his precious avatar. He wanted to kill Devi in a single blow and snatch the Spirit Treasure from his body!

Then, he could use the undetectable nature of his Divine Erosion technique to escape, hide the Spirit Treasure on some random object, and then retrieve it with his true body. He would obtain a priceless treasure.

One avatar in exchange for a Spirit Treasure—it was an incredibly profitable deal.

But Devi didn’t know all this. The Divine Eye on his brow trembled as he tried to pierce through the darkness that spanned several meters, but he failed.

Even with his Divine Eye Technique, all he could see was a profound darkness.

This was the horror of Divine Erosion: it corrupted everything, isolating all magnetic fields and cutting off all detection and perception. It left an opponent completely unaware of what the Black Earl was doing inside, what kind of attacks or Secret Techniques he was preparing.

Once struck by this black hole of Divine Erosion, it was tantamount to having one’s five senses stripped away, plunging them into an unpredictable darkness to be slaughtered at the Black Earl’s mercy.

Even for a Saint Expert, losing one’s five senses and magnetic perception meant that even an ordinary person with a gun could potentially threaten their life.

Faced with such a terrifying technique, the best response was to dodge and flee.

But in the current situation, the other three would never just stand by and watch Devi escape.

However, watching the approaching black hole, a smirk touched the corner of Devi’s lips.

His golden hair floated upward, and within his body, the light of the fourth wheel flickered.

He didn’t fully ignite it. Instead, he employed the technique of Supernova for a brief burst, channeling the power into a single, devastating attack.

HUM!!

Without dodging or evading, Devi thrust a palm toward the encroaching black hole.

A searing brilliance condensed into a galaxy in his palm. As he unleashed his Palm Technique, the entire galaxy exploded.

Star Extinction!!

This was a destructive technique he had developed by gathering various destructive cosmic rays and using his Supersensitive Intuition to trace the scenes of multiple galactic destructions. Its power surpassed even that of Supernova.

’If I can’t discern my opponent’s technique and can’t see through their magnetic field, then I’ll just blast the entire area they’re in to smithereens.’

Galaxy, explode!!

BOOM!!

A terrifying light flared out, covering a fan-shaped area of more than five meters ahead and completely engulfing the region where the Divine Erosion black hole was located.

All darkness was dispelled by this terrifying power.

Even the faces of the three remaining Ancient One avatars changed drastically as they were forced to take a defensive stance against the terrifying aftershock of True Qi.

A moment later, the light subsided slightly. Everyone saw a dark figure fly backward violently and crash heavily into a nearby shipping container, causing the entire container to burst apart.

Their gazes fell upon a gaunt figure lying motionlessly among the container fragments, seemingly devoid of any life.

The surface of the gaunt figure’s body was charred black, rotted and festering—a truly horrifying sight.

The Black Earl’s avatar, killed by a single palm strike from Devi.

"I told you before. Killing you this time would be just as easy as killing a chicken."

Devi said faintly, his gaze not lingering on the Black Earl’s avatar’s corpse before turning to the others.

’Next, not one of these avatars surrounding me will be left alive.’

"Everyone, it seems this avatar can’t be preserved. Let’s use our strongest Secret Techniques," the Blood Angel said, his gaze calm.

They had underestimated their opponent’s strength. This operation might very well end in failure.

But it didn’t matter. It was just an avatar. To be able to probe the depths of their opponent’s abilities was still valuable.

「Elsewhere.」

An unknown man and woman stood on a rooftop, witnessing everything. The terrifying explosion Devi had just unleashed left even them feeling a lingering fear.

"His strength far exceeds what we imagined. I thought he was only able to barely touch the threshold of the Immortal Forbidden Area by relying on the Power of Spiritual Treasure. But now it seems that was far from his full strength. I still can’t see where his limits lie," the man said in a low voice.

"We certainly underestimated him. His strength already ranks among the top tier in the world today, and he’s so young on top of that."

"Back in Donghua, he fought Yi Beidou and lost. Who do you think is stronger now, him or Yi Beidou?" the mixed-race woman asked in a low voice.

"I don’t know. However, Yi Beidou has already accepted Cheng Zhihong and Yuna’s invitation and is on his way to the Mediterranean Region. Perhaps we’ll be able to witness his strength for ourselves soon enough."

"The people of this modern era are truly terrifying," the man lamented.

"So what now? What should we do?" the woman asked softly, glancing at the battlefield where the fight was concluding.

"Let’s leave first. The outcome of the battle is decided. We should avoid staying and being misunderstood by him, which could cause unnecessary complications. We can find another chance to contact him later and see if there’s any possibility of cooperation," the man said.

With that, he didn’t linger. His figure flickered and shot off into the distance.
