Chapter 591: Chapter 369: A Clean Sweep to Leave No Secrets in the World

News of the events in the Dinarli Nature Reserve spread rapidly throughout the Starry Sky Country.

Yi Beidou has allegedly appeared in the Dinarli Nature Reserve, using unknown means to demand the evacuation of all life within a one-hundred-kilometer radius?

An illegal invasion? The Starry Sky Country faces an unprecedented provocation! Where is its authority?

The world-shaking explosion in the middle of the ocean... A being that even superweapons couldn’t handle... Has a True God descended upon the earth?

All sorts of eye-popping headlines were thrust into the spotlight, and countless members of the media swarmed to the scene.

However, they couldn’t get anywhere near the Dinarli Nature Reserve. They could only watch as officials from the Starry Sky Country swiftly established a cordon a hundred kilometers out, and truck after truck of local residents were urgently evacuated overnight.

And all of this was because of a single sentence from Yi Beidou.

"Have they lost their minds? Are the old men on Congress Hill all insane? Since when did the Starry Sky Country start taking orders from a single individual?"

"Haven’t you heard? I caught wind of a few rumors. It seems Number One was assassinated. It’s still being kept under wraps, but the real power on the Hill has already shifted, and it has a lot to do with Yi Beidou."

"This whole thing about him withstanding superweapons... are we sure that’s not just some fake clickbait cooked up by the sleazy media?"

"You can’t be sure it isn’t true. Otherwise, how could that Great Demon King make those high-and-mighty suits do all this with just a single sentence?"

"..."

Members of the press from all over chattered amongst themselves outside the cordon, and related news quickly blew up across social media.

Yi Beidou sensed the movements of the living creatures around him. His eyes were as still as a deep well, but a terrifying aura was spreading outward from within his body.

CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP!!

RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE!!

An animal’s ability to sense danger far surpasses a human’s. Under the influence of Yi Beidou’s intangible aura, every species within the nature reserve felt a premonition, as if a natural disaster was imminent.

Birds took flight from the ground, and beasts stampeded toward the horizon in a mass exodus.

Within the Dinarli Nature Reserve, some of the convoys evacuating international tourists even ran into the retreating animal herds, causing considerable chaos.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on? Is this the end of the world?"

"Not even a mega-quake would cause something this terrifying, would it? These animals are acting like they’ve gone completely insane!"

"Let’s go! Let’s go! A beast’s intuition is beyond anything we can imagine. Something terrible is definitely about to happen here."

"..."

The streams of evacuees grew even more panicked.

But at that same moment, a number of figures were moving against the current of people and the tide of beasts.

They leaped and bounded through the mountain forest as if on level ground. They were, unmistakably, Saint Realm Martial Artists from the Starry Sky Country.

Leading the group were a few faces Yi Beidou found rather familiar.

The Starry Sky Country’s three Saints of Sea, Land, and Air—his former opponents—as well as Martial Artists from the School of Life who had since ascended to the Saint Realm.

Devi Punk watched the crowds of people and herds of beasts fleeing across the ground below. As he felt that intangible yet terrifying presence, a complex mix of emotions flickered in his eyes.

"There’s still time for you to leave," Earth Giant God Yuri said, his expression grave as he addressed the new generation of Saint Realm Martial Artists from the Starry Sky Country following him. "We don’t know his true intentions. Strictly speaking, we’re his enemies. If he really decides to make a move, we could all die here."

"Sir Yuri, we’re all mentally prepared for that," a man of about thirty said with a smile. His face showed no fear, only a powerful sense of excitement. "He is the number one figure of our time, an existence at the apex of human civilization through his personal martial might—a man who walks the earth like a God. To witness that, even to die by his hand, would be a stroke of luck. If we’re fortunate enough to survive, then we’ll have hit the jackpot."

The four or five men and women beside him wore similar expressions.

Yuri sighed softly. ’These rookies still have no idea what they’re about to face.’

’Then again, they’re not wrong,’ he thought. ’To be able to experience that kind of power... one could truly die without regrets. If that weren’t the case, none of them would be here.’

Soon, the group arrived at the source of the immense aura. There, atop a boulder more than ten meters high, stood a man bathed in moonlight and starlight. His gaze, as tranquil as an abyssal pool, swept over them, and everyone instantly felt a suffocating pressure.

Finally, Yi Beidou’s gaze landed on Devi.

This was his old rival. They had clashed several times, and Devi was the strongest of the West’s younger generation.

But now, Yi Beidou looked down upon all creation, and Devi was no exception.

"Devi, you’ve gotten stronger."

A flicker of approval flashed in Yi Beidou’s eyes.

But those words caused a sharp glint to instantly erupt in Devi’s eyes.

Yi Beidou’s tone was like that of a senior praising a junior, and it stung Devi to the core.

"I was just about to see for myself how strong you’ve become!"

Devi let out a low roar. A terrifying light erupted from his body. Hazy, nebula-like patterns appeared on his skin, and his entire being became translucent, as if he had transformed into an incarnation of light itself.

The air around him instantly distorted. Blazing heat rolled out in a violent wave. Trees more than ten meters away burst into flames and exploded the moment the light touched them.

"Devi! You-!"

The hairs on Yuri and the others’ bodies instantly stood on end. Their pupils contracted. Their clothes began to smolder, and steam rose from their skin in a thick white mist.

But the most terrifying part was that as the light from Devi swept over them, a searing pain shot through their internal organs, making it difficult for their Qi and blood to even circulate.
