Chapter 582: Chapter 365: Reunion of Master and Disciple, Eternal Longevity Is Not My Wish (Part 1)

’Perhaps Yi Beidou is right. Our path really is wrong. Otherwise, how could our thousands of years of hard Cultivation fall short of this man’s thirty?’

In truth, she had long begun to doubt her own path. Now that there was no retreat, she might as well stake everything on one last fight. There would be no regrets, even in death.

"I refuse."

Just then, the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke.

The Lady of the Three Yins’s pupils trembled. She whipped her head around, staring at the formidable man in disbelief.

"A king should meet a king’s end. I will not bow to anyone. I will fight with my honor until the very last moment. Since I belong to the old era, then let me be buried in it!"

A divine light burst from the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation’s eyes. His body swelled abruptly as a brilliant radiance emanated from him. Under the influence of a terrifying magnetic field, rings of light shaped like wheels began to spread outward.

A fierce wind swept across the water, kicking up massive waves.

He pushed the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood fused within him to its absolute limit. The immense power was so great that even the flesh and blood of his original body began to undergo Rainbow Transformation.

Under these conditions, his body grew taller and taller, even exceeding eight meters. The frenzied fluctuations of power forced the nearby Lady of the Three Yins to retreat several dozen meters away.

ROAR!!

The King of the Wheel of Reincarnation tilted his head back and let out a furious roar, preparing to launch an attack at Yi Beidou in midair.

At that exact moment, Yi Beidou moved.

A speck of black light gathered at his fingertip. An Immortal Talisman structure quickly took shape, forming a spike in the shape of black-flame ink jade.

He flicked a finger at the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation, who seemed to have transformed into a Mythical Form. The Black Flame spike instantly vanished from midair, tracing an arc that was impossible to follow with the naked eye, and plunged into the King’s body with unstoppable momentum.

BOOM!!

In an instant, a terrifying torrent of Black Flame erupted, soaring into the sky. The King of the Wheel of Reincarnation’s roar was cut short as his towering figure was swiftly reduced to ash in the flames. Only a single piece of jade-like flesh writhed within the Black Flame, undamaged.

But under the searing heat of the Black Flame, this piece of jade-like flesh was continuously compressed, eventually becoming a "jewel" the size of a human head. Yi Beidou swept it up with an Immortal Talisman and took it into his hand.

And just like that, the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation, who had dominated for thousands of years, was reduced to nothing.

Success or failure, right or wrong—in the blink of an eye, it all turns to dust.

The Lady of the Three Yins, watching from the side, trembled violently at the sight.

She never could have imagined that the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation, who was prepared for a fight to the death, would die so unceremoniously. Before Yi Beidou, he seemed weaker than a chick.

"Let’s begin."

Yi Beidou’s expression remained calm, as if he had just done something utterly insignificant. His gaze fell upon the Lady of the Three Yins.

He flicked his finger again. Before the Lady of the Three Yins could even react, a ball of Black Flame landed on her, erupting in a pillar of fire.

AHHH!!

The Lady of the Three Yins let out a wretched, pain-filled scream. The skin on her back ripped apart as if an Evil Ghost were struggling to break free from her body. She couldn’t control it at all.

This was Yi Beidou forcibly stripping the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood from her body.

"Like this... I’ll die..."

the Lady of the Three Yins said in a pained voice.

The Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood made up fifty percent of her body. If it were all stripped away at once, it would be equivalent to instantly losing half her own flesh. Even with a body that had achieved Ascension, she would perish.

Normally, the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood could only be removed by slowly peeling it away, ensuring the host body remained safe.

"I am here. You will not die."

Yi Beidou’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. A jade-colored light on another of his fingers coalesced into an Immortal Talisman structure, which he abruptly flicked into the Lady of the Three Yins’s body.

This was Penglai Power. With the support of this power, for a certain period of time, her flesh’s regenerative ability would be no weaker than that of the Alchemists who had once fought Yi Beidou, at least until her stamina was depleted.

Amidst her agonized wails, the corpse-like face on her back was completely stripped from her body. Under the searing Black Flame, it quickly turned into a lump of flesh and blood, finally becoming a head-sized jewel just like the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation’s, which Yi Beidou took away.

*Gasp!! Gasp!!*

Forcibly stripped of her Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, the Lady of the Three Yins collapsed to her knees on the sea’s surface, gasping for breath. Her skin was bare, no longer the deathly pale of before, but suffused with the color of a living person. Her unsettling, pure black eyes had also returned to their normal human form, her stunning beauty now imbued with a vibrant, living aura.

One had to admit, the physical form she inhabited had been carefully chosen.

But for Yi Beidou, there was no such thing as being gentle with a beautiful woman.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Before the Lady of the Three Yins could even catch her breath, one Demon Flame Seven-Star Needle after another pierced her body.

The Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars technique took form.

SIZZLE! SIZZLE! SIZZLE!

The Black Flame began to burn, using her body’s nutrients as fuel. Her fair skin rapidly withered and charred, and the intense pain made the Lady of the Three Yins tremble all over again.

Having done all this, Yi Beidou didn’t spare the Lady of the Three Yins another glance. His figure descended from midair back to the surface of the sea. With a single step, the water’s surface dipped, and he vanished into the distance.

His work was done. If she didn’t survive, it was her fate. If she did, it was her destiny.

「Meanwhile, inside the Starry Sky Country’s pentagonal building.」

The chaos from the sudden attack on the Starry Sky Country’s Number One had just been brought under control. The middle-aged man and the other high-ranking officials of the Starry Sky Country hadn’t even had a chance to catch their breath before they received another report from the front lines.

"Yi Beidou has left the nuclear blast’s epicenter and is moving rapidly toward the west coast. Estimated time of arrival is five hours."

"Dammit! He went under the surface of the ocean! We’ve lost him! I repeat, we have lost track of the target!! We have lost track of the target!"

The commander’s voice came through, laced with curses.

In an instant, the faces of the middle-aged man and the other Starry Sky Country officials turned deathly pale.

’Yi Beidou has hidden his tracks? What is he planning to do?’

’Is he planning to formally retaliate against us for the nuclear strike?!’

If a God-like being like that truly harbored killing intent, which one of them could possibly survive?

The middle-aged man’s expression was grave. His original plan had been to have Number One’s personal guard kill him. He would then offer up the man’s death to appease the wrath of that God-like existence. Then, he and his faction would take over the country.

He had even pre-planned a comprehensive apology ceremony. It was to be on an unprecedented scale, one that would be recorded in the annals of human history, and it would represent the most humble submission in the history of the Starry Sky Country.

But the middle-aged man didn’t see any problem with this. Just as that person from Beisha Country had said, bowing to Deities was no disgrace. Moreover, he could use this opportunity to reap enormous benefits.

Unexpectedly, however, after escaping the strike, Yi Beidou had taken the initiative to hide his whereabouts, shattering all of his plans.

’Does he really intend to wipe us all out?’

A shiver ran down the middle-aged man’s spine at the thought.

"Gentlemen, given the current situation, it’s best we don’t stay together. Let’s all disperse. We can handle the aftermath of the attack on Number One while also preventing that being from wiping us all out in one go."

the middle-aged man said to the group.

The others had already been thinking the same thing. At this point, they couldn’t wait to slip away, looking as if they’d been granted amnesty.

What they didn’t know was that they were not Yi Beidou’s target at all.

In Yi Beidou’s eyes, these insect-like beings could be crushed at will. They weren’t worth such effort.

He had more important things to do on this trip.

He had to find a truth.

His destination was a certain location on the border between the Starry Sky Country and Mexico.

「At that moment, inside a secret underground experimental base.」

Dr. Beretta stood before a peculiar biological device.

At the core of this device were several jade-like objects.

Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood.

This limited supply of Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood was encased in biological modules, which were then covered by an outer layer of mechanical metal. At the top was a signaling device connected to something high above ground. With two speaker-like structures on its front, it looked like a radio.

"Tsk, that guy is heading my way. A monster that not even a Godslaying Weapon could kill... given our past relationship, he won’t just kill me without a second thought, will he? I’d rather not die without knowing why."

Beretta said, stroking his chin.

"Rest assured, he is not one to kill indiscriminately. Although you are not what the world would call a ’good person,’ it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to find a sliver of a chance to survive at his hands."

The radio-like device in front of him vibrated slightly and emitted a calm voice.
