Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 367 - 265: Pushovers; The Demon Body Takes a Hundred Blows Unharmed (Part 2)

The instant Yi Beidou sent the White Elephant Lord flying with a palm strike, three attacks from behind arrived as expected. He had just unleashed his own palm, his Power not yet having had time to recover. His back was now completely exposed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

To seize this opportunity for a fatal blow, the three Ancient One avatars erupted with even greater strength than before.

The force of their attack was like an explosion, the shockwave spreading out in a ring. Even steel would be bent and crushed beneath such a strike.

Terrifying Power and magnetic fields surged toward Yi Beidou’s body. The onlookers could even see a thick mist of blood erupt from his skin upon impact.

Under the terrifying force of the trio’s combined attack, Yi Beidou’s body was inevitably sent hurtling forward.

And the direction he was sent flying was precisely where the White Elephant Lord had been knocked.

BOOM!

The White Elephant Lord’s arm had been shattered by Yi Beidou’s palm strike. His body flew backward and slammed heavily into a nearby wall, creating a massive crater. Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the entire surface, and civilians hiding within screamed in terror.

However, despite having one arm crippled, the White Elephant Lord had not completely lost his ability to fight. If given a moment to recover, he could still pose a threat in battle.

But he would never get that chance.

Before he could even quell the tremors in his internal organs or shake off the paralysis caused by the immense impact, he saw Yi Beidou’s figure hurtling toward him through the air at a terrifying speed.

His eyes went wide. Before he could react, Yi Beidou used his forward momentum to slam a palm strike directly into his head.

CRACK!

His entire head exploded like a watermelon. Yi Beidou’s palm pierced through the wall and into the room beyond.

"That’s one down."

Yi Beidou pulled his arm from the wall. Without a second glance at the White Elephant Lord’s body, he turned to face the other Ancient One avatars.

"Now, it’s your turn."

Blood was flowing from Yi Beidou’s nose and mouth, and his back was dripping with blood from the last attack, but his tone and expression remained utterly calm.

He stood straight and tall, like a long spear piercing the heavens.

The expressions of the three Ancient One avatars turned grim.

They had never expected Yi Beidou to use their attack to his advantage to completely annihilate the White Elephant Lord’s avatar.

’This guy... Is he not afraid of being severely injured just to kill one of us?’

The besieging crowd was now beginning to feel that something was wrong.

This man had withstood so many of their attacks with his physical body. Even steel would have been bent and flattened by now, so why did his aura show no signs of weakening?

After the first two attacks, the avatars had merely assumed Yi Beidou possessed some special defensive method and was holding on with a Secret Technique. But the injuries from this latest attack should have been enough to compound all his previous damage. Yet his magnetic field and Soul still hadn’t weakened.

If they still didn’t sense something was amiss after all this, they would be unworthy of being called avatars of the Ancient Ones.

"Look at his arm!"

the Mother of Eternity said in a low voice. Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on Yi Beidou’s arm.

During the previous assault, Yi Beidou’s arm had clearly been torn open, a mangled mess of flesh and blood. But now, they saw that although his arm was still stained with blood, the skin beneath had returned to its original state, without a single wound.

’What is this?!’

"Self-regeneration? The forbidden aspect of the body... the Power of Life?!"

the Purple Cloud Daoist couldn’t help but blurt out.

The faces of the others changed completely. They seemed to be starting to understand.

This man had also reached the threshold of an Immortal Forbidden Area, and a particularly powerful one at that.

The forbidden aspect of the body allows one to break the natural limits of the human form to a certain degree, achieving feats impossible for ordinary people.

This type of forbidden power involves the material, biological level. Among all the Immortal Forbidden Areas, it could be said to be the most difficult one to reach.

If that weren’t the case, why would physical Longevity be the most coveted prize for all the Ancient Ones?

And yet, the young man standing before them seemed to have already touched upon that forbidden Realm.

Furthermore, it didn’t look like he was relying on any Dharma Artifact or Spirit Treasure, but purely on his own power!

"You’ve figured it out?"

Yi Beidou said faintly. With a sudden shake of his body, all the bloodstains and dust on his skin were jolted off, revealing his still-pristine skin underneath.

The flesh and blood on his back were also squirming slightly; the injuries caused by the three attackers were rapidly healing.

Although, having left Penglai Immortal Mountain, relying solely on the effects of the Penglai Flame, Yi Beidou could at most achieve ten to twenty percent of the regenerative power the Alchemist had demonstrated with the Penglai Technique.

But one had to understand just how terrifying the regenerative power of the Penglai Technique was.

The Alchemist could have his arm severed and reattach it within a single breath, good as new. Even if his body was shattered, as long as his life force was not extinguished, he could repair himself instantly, as if he were immortal.

Back when Yi Beidou was in a desperate situation, he had used his Demon Flame to forcibly seize the Penglai Power. Even by channeling only thirty percent of the Alchemist’s Penglai Technique, he was able to restore his twisted and broken arm to its original state in just over ten breaths.

Now, even if he could only achieve fifteen percent of the Penglai Technique’s regenerative power, it was enough for him to continuously recover from most minor to moderate injuries during battle!

The injuries inflicted on him by the numerous Ancient One avatars had long since been fully healed.

The Demon Body fights a hundred battles, suffers a hundred wounds, yet remains unscathed!
