Chapter 576: Chapter 363: World-Shaking Fireworks, the Boundless Sea Churns to Welcome the Demon Lord

"Damn this world! Let it be destroyed! Let everyone face true equality!"

"..."

Cries of alarm rang out one after another across the globe, but many had likely not yet realized that this would be a day recorded in the annals of human history.

「On the other side.」

Yi Beidou, who had been sitting cross-legged, seemed to sense something. He rose from the surface of the sea and looked toward the sky.

"Let’s see just how far you can go. And let’s see how far I can go,"

Yi Beidou said softly.

The next moment, the Black Flame Fire Seed flickered at the center of his brow. Reinforced by the structure of the Immortal Talisman, it condensed into a flame shaped like black jade amber and embedded itself there, as if he had grown a third, demonic eye.

With the appearance of the Black Flame Fire Seed, the Black Flame around Yi Beidou flared to life, spreading rapidly across the sea and into the sky.

HSSSSSS!!

The searing temperature of the Black Flame vaporized the seawater, causing a thick fog to rise over the entire surface of the ocean, obscuring all vision.

Just as the Black Flame had spread for nearly ten kilometers, shining points of light appeared on the distant horizon.

Warheads armed with high-yield sub-harmony weapons broke through the air resistance at terrifying speeds, descending upon Yi Beidou’s location like a sky full of falling stars.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The first warheads to arrive made contact with the spreading Black Flame. Their fuel was instantly ignited by the flames, causing the warheads to detonate prematurely.

Giant fireballs with radii exceeding six hundred meters bloomed in the sky. A deafening roar spread out, accompanied by intense light and chaotic ripples in the air.

While there was only a slight difference in their names, the power gap between a sub-harmony weapon and a true harmony weapon could be thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater. Warheads detonating over ten kilometers away were incapable of causing Yi Beidou any harm.

But they had achieved their purpose. The storm generated by the numerous sub-harmony weapon explosions swept through everything within dozens of kilometers. The powerful shockwaves blew apart the vast shroud of Black Flame, creating an opening for the subsequent missile strike.

Although the Black Flame possessed terrifying properties, it still behaved like fire. These derivative flames, not having been reinforced by the structure of an Immortal Talisman, could not withstand the impact of the powerful explosions. While not extinguished completely, they were scattered and distorted.

「Inside the Starry Sky Country’s Pentagon conference room.」

The high command of the Starry Sky Country and the leaders of other nations were still in a video conference, closely monitoring the situation’s progress.

"Success! The shockwaves from the sub-harmony weapons have dispersed the Black Flame’s structure, creating a safe corridor for the doomsday weapons to approach the target area. Everything is going according to plan!"

"Trident guidance systems fully activated. Detonation will occur as planned in approximately thirty seconds."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please prepare to witness the brightest firework display in the world. And please, protect your eyes."

The commander’s voice came from the screen.

Six streaks of fire rapidly closed in, plunging into the safe corridor cleared by the sub-harmony weapons and racing toward Yi Beidou’s position.

Meanwhile, the water below surged as four more warheads approached from the seabed.

Although they couldn’t lock onto Yi Beidou’s precise location due to interference from his terrifying biological magnetic field, the massive yield and blast radius of the current strategic weapons made such precision unnecessary.

From the sky above and the earth below, he was sealed off from all four directions!

"So, something with a little more weight has finally arrived."

Amidst the endless water vapor and dust, Yi Beidou seemed to sense them. He looked up at the sky.

’The warm-up is over. Time to get serious.’

His eyes shifted. Following his Heart Intent, he instinctively manipulated the Life Energy within his body, creating a multitude of special Immortal Talisman structures.

With the Black Flame Fire Seed at his brow—like a third eye—as the core, a color like black jade rapidly spread across his skin, covering every inch.

It was not just his skin; even his bones and internal organs were covered by this black jade hue.

Wisps of amber-like black flame escaped from his body, lashing out menacingly. They swirled about him, taking the form of a cape, a jade sash, and a ritual ring, then twisting into malevolent spirits, tentacles, and ghostly claws. The entire display exuded a savage and terrifying power, a sinister aura that would make one’s skin crawl.

It was as if a true demon had descended upon the world.

This was a technique Yi Beidou had developed by combining the Penglai Technique Wood Attribute, the laws of Immortal Talismans, and the Power of Black Flame to profoundly strengthen the human body with Life Energy.

He had named it "Unfettered Demonization."

Energy Transformation to condense Immortal Power, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top to create the Black Flame, mastery of the Immortal Talisman to achieve this unfettered state...

At this moment, although the essence of Yi Beidou’s life was still that of a mortal, aside from the insurmountable limits of his Physical Ability, there was little difference between him and an Earth Immortal.

He was a living Earth Immortal!!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The doomsday weapons descended!!

「Meanwhile.」

The view on the screens before the assembled leaders instantly switched to prevent the intense light of the explosion from harming their eyes.

It was a top-down perspective.

The hazy layers of atmospheric clouds were faintly visible. Earth appeared before them as a curved sphere, with its continents like tectonic plates and its oceans a boundless expanse of blue.

Viewed from the scale of this vast, boundless sphere, all life seemed so insignificant—even Saint Experts and Ancient Ones were no exception.

This was the view from a satellite in space.

「The next moment.」

Amid this overwhelming grandeur, in the middle of a boundless blue ocean, a bright point of light suddenly flared into existence.

It was as if a dazzling new star had been born upon the face of the Earth.
