Chapter 595: Chapter 371: The Innate Divine: The Only One Since Antiquity

"Insolent pup! Don’t get ahead of yourself. Do you really think you’ve already won? I’d like to see just how long that mortal body of yours can last!"

The Golden Armor giant, over 1,300 meters tall, let out a furious roar. Its eyes blazed with rage, its hair and beard shot toward the heavens, and the world was flooded with golden light.

The fact that Yi Beidou could take his attack completely unscathed certainly surprised him, but not to the point of terror.

He was Hongfa Immortal Monarch, wielder of the indestructible Golden Body Dharma Form. It was forged entirely from Immortal Power, and its defense could be called unparalleled in the world.

Furthermore, he had merged with an Earth Immortal Corpse and gained most of an Earth Immortal’s traits. His energy was practically inexhaustible!

’As long as I can maintain this explosive output, I can use the immense advantage in Physical Ability granted by my Earth Immortal traits to drain Yi Beidou’s stamina in short order. The final victory will surely be mine!’

He had already secured an invincible position!

"IMPERIAL!! FLOWING!! SAND!!"

The Golden Armor giant let out a low growl and began to unleash an even more terrifying assault.

Immortal Power condensed in his palms, radiating an intense light as if he were grasping a cluster of brilliant suns. Then, moving with a terrifying speed that belied its massive size, the Golden Body Dharma Form began to swing its palms in a rapid succession.

An utterly terrifying release of energy! An unbridled eruption of power!!

This was the signature combat style of an Earth Immortal—a seemingly endless torrent of Physical Ability.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Blinding light, violent shockwaves, deafening roars, and thick dust swallowed everything in the mountain range. The series of exploding Techniques inevitably formed a mushroom cloud that shot straight into the atmosphere.

The terrifying commotion, like a series of nuclear detonations, was clearly audible even beyond the hundred-kilometer blockade line. Moreover, the entire night sky was already illuminated by the blinding light.

An uproar swept through the Starry Sky Country as intense panic gripped the populace.

Even during the Mediterranean Sea incident, they had merely been spectators watching the conflict from afar, never imagining such chaos and terror could descend upon their own nation—once the most powerful in the world.

But the events of tonight would shatter that illusion, forcing them to face reality. And once their former pride crumbled, immense panic would be all that awaited them.

In such an atmosphere of freedom, it was doubtful that even social order could be properly maintained.

However, that was none of Yi Beidou’s concern. Amidst the terrifying impacts and explosions, he, in his state of Unfettered Demonization, was tossed about like a lone skiff on a stormy sea. His human form seemed so very small.

Hongfa Immortal Monarch’s reasoning was not wrong. Yi Beidou was, after all, of mortal flesh; his Physical Ability had its limits. He couldn’t unleash the same unbridled, terrifying might as a Root Source, nor did he possess the power to move mountains and overturn seas.

However, aside from the weakness in his Physical Ability, Yi Beidou’s body in its state of Unfettered Demonization was nearly on par with that of a true Earth Immortal. Under the enhancement of the Immortal Talisman, the energy surrounding him was an impenetrable wall. How could Hongfa Immortal Monarch possibly hope to shake him?

Even if he let his opponent bombard him for hours, Yi Beidou would remain completely unharmed.

But, clearly, he had no intention of waiting that long.

Hongfa Immortal Monarch’s display of power was indeed terrifying, but ultimately, the source of it all was his main body.

Yi Beidou didn’t need to match that terrifying might. He only needed to take care of the main body, and all of his opponent’s power would be for naught.

"It seems you’ve made the wrong choice," Yi Beidou said calmly.

WHOOSH!!

As the Golden Armor giant’s palm descended once more, the intricate patterns of an Immortal Talisman materialized in the Void beneath Yi Beidou’s feet.

He then bent his knees and, facing the enormous, two-hundred-meter-wide palm, leaped up with sudden force.

A massive, concave ring of air formed in the space around him. Yi Beidou’s acceleration surpassed the limits of human technology.

In his palm, the Black Flame coalesced into seven star-like points of black jade, spinning in reverse.

Reversed Seven Stars Palm!!

Compared to the giant palm, Yi Beidou’s figure was minuscule. But he was no ant—he was a steel nail. And in comparison, the indestructible Golden Body Dharma Form that Hongfa Immortal Monarch believed to be unparalleled was nothing more than slightly thicker skin.

PFFT!

The instant they collided, the Golden Armor giant’s palm was pierced through. At the point of entry, the Black Flame spread like maggots on a corpse, burning its way outward. Even with the terrifying energy granted by his Earth Immortal traits, Hongfa Immortal Monarch was unable to repair the damage to his Dharma Form.

"What?!"

This time, terror truly gripped Hongfa Immortal Monarch.

’The Golden Body Dharma Form that I obtained from the Earth Immortal Corpse and spent countless years perfecting... its defense, which should have been unparalleled in the world... was broken so easily?’

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

But before he could process this, Yi Beidou’s figure was already weaving through the air, darting back and forth. In the space of a few breaths, he moved like a bullet, riddling the Golden Armor giant with holes.

And from each of these holes, Black Flame burned, preventing the Golden Armor giant from healing its wounds.

Moreover, as the Black Flame’s coverage expanded, Yi Beidou’s perception of the Golden Armor giant’s interior grew increasingly sharp.

Originally, the Golden Body Dharma Form, being condensed from pure energy, formed a monolithic whole that blocked all forms of perception. In other words, it was nearly impossible for an outsider to pinpoint Hongfa Immortal Monarch’s main body within the massive form. He, however, could move freely within it, changing his position at will.

Even if the Golden Body were breached, as long as Hongfa Immortal Monarch’s main body remained unharmed, he could leverage the terrifying Physical Ability of an Earth Immortal to repair it continuously and carry on fighting at his peak.

This was the very reason he believed his Golden Body’s defense to be unparalleled, the reason he believed himself to be invincible.
