Redemption of a Born Demon-Chapter 63: Destroying the Buddha and Smashing the Throne, the Celestial Demon’s Ferocious Might Annihilates the Dao Field
At the sound of this voice, the expressions of everyone in the grand hall changed instantly.
However, before they could react, a thunderous BANG echoed as the grand hall’s doors were blasted open. Dust billowed, and a figure appeared in their line of sight. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
His brows were unruly, his features chiseled as if from a knife. With broad shoulders and a towering frame, he stood in the doorway, blocking the sun and casting a long shadow that enveloped the hall.
Upon seeing Yi Beidou’s face clearly, the three Masters—Earth Listener, Earth Smell, and Earth Spirit—paled.
Intelligence on Yi Beidou’s appearance may not have reached Siam yet, but it was impossible for them not to recognize him.
When Ruan Guangqin had been wounded by Yi Beidou and returned to the Bao Lian Temple, the Great Vow Master had personally healed him. It was then that they learned a Celestial Demon had appeared in Donghua.
From that moment on, the Bao Lian Temple had been making preparations, gathering all available information on Yi Beidou.
’But why is he here?!’
’Their Master had already left in secret to vanquish this demon. Yet here he was, completely unharmed. Could it be...’
A terrifying thought bloomed in their minds.
’Their Master had been defeated by this man? He might even be dead, his spirit extinguished?!’
"What’s wrong? Not going to draw your fortunes? I’m a man of my word. I’m giving you a chance."
Yi Beidou strode into the grand hall.
"Activate the array!"
Earth Listener roared. The three Masters and the monks in the hall immediately leaped apart, taking their positions at key nodes throughout the hall and activating numerous mechanisms.
The three Masters formed Esoteric Hand Seals while the other monks produced Treasure Artifacts, loudly chanting the Demon Suppression Scripture.
This was a core building of the Bao Lian Temple, naturally protected by a meticulously arranged Grand Array. It could manipulate magnetic fields to produce all sorts of supernatural effects.
They used this hall to receive followers, employing its layout to display incredible Divine Powers and win the hearts and minds of the people.
To some extent, with the three Masters presiding over the Grand Array, they could unleash power comparable to a Saint Truth.
The sound of chanting reverberated through the hall, instantly reaching a deafening crescendo. Incense smoke billowed like fog from the mechanisms, lights flickered, and the Hand Seals warped the magnetic field, plunging anyone within into a profound illusion.
The golden statue of the Buddha, seated upon a Lotus platform and bearing a slight resemblance to the Great Vow Master, seemed to come alive. Its expression turned majestic as it reached a five-fingered hand out into the hall.
Mahesvara’s mind reeled at the sight. He nearly stumbled and fell, but thankfully, the expert bodyguards behind him fought through their own discomfort to steady him, saving him from making a fool of himself.
Yi Beidou’s expression remained unchanged. ’If the Great Vow Master himself were presiding over this Grand Array, it might pose a slight threat to me.’
CLACK!!
He took a single step forward, his body ramrod straight. With one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, a single word boomed like thunder, instantly overpowering all the chanting in the hall: "Zizai!"
The Zizai Dharma Seal reversed Yin and Yang, shattering the Dharma Realm!
In that moment, to Mahesvara’s eyes, Yi Beidou’s figure surpassed the Buddha statue before him. He seemed to stand astride heaven and earth, an incomprehensible, divine presence.
Within the grand hall, the magnetic field descended into chaos and his aura ran rampant. The members of the Bao Lian Temple felt their blood surge backward, and they all spat out a mouthful of blood in unison. The Grand Array ceased to function.
"Since you’re unwilling to draw your fortunes, I’ll decide your fates for you. Die!"
Yi Beidou’s figure blurred, and in an instant, he was before the monk Earth Listener, his palm striking downward.
Evil Qi condensed. Celestial Demon Destruction Technique!
Although Earth Listener was only a single step from Ascension, the gap between success and failure was as vast as heaven and earth. Why else would it be called the Life and Death Mysterious Gate, the barrier between mortals and celestials?
Earth Listener was instantly paralyzed by the aura of the Destruction Killing Tribulation. Yi Beidou’s palm slammed down on the crown of his head, and a mixture of brains and blood erupted from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
A master in the eyes of the world, extinguished with a single palm strike.
What followed was a slaughter. Before Yi Beidou, none of them could even escape the hall.
The Buddha hall was stained a deep, visceral crimson.
Prince Mahesvara’s breathing grew ragged. The bodyguards beside him reached for their waists, apparently preparing to draw their weapons.
They weren’t just Martial Artists; they were skilled with firearms and had integrated them into their fighting style. In such a confined space, a sudden attack with guns might even pose a threat to a Saint Expert.
"Don’t you dare!"
Mahesvara shot out a hand to stop them, halting their movements.
’The man was clearly here for the Bao Lian Temple. He has no grudge against me. If my men attack now, we’ll be entangled in this conflict, and it won’t end well.’
’He didn’t dare provoke such a vicious killer.’
Soon, the grand hall fell silent, littered with corpses.
Yi Beidou stood calmly before the sixteen-foot-tall golden statue.
The golden statue was now spattered with blood, but the face, so similar to the Great Vow Master’s, remained tranquil, its eyes downcast.
Yi Beidou leaped onto the Lotus Platform and blasted his palm at the Buddha’s head.
BOOM!!
The solid gold face of the Buddha twisted as its head snapped off at the neck, falling to the ground with a CLANG.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Yi Beidou struck out again and again, beating the Buddha’s body into a misshapen wreck. Then, he performed a powerful Shaking Foot technique.
RUMBLE!!
Under the immense force, the base of the Lotus Platform shattered into several pieces.
His disciples, slaughtered. His Golden Body, destroyed.
Having done all this, he turned, leaping lightly off the platform. His gaze locked onto Mahesvara.
In that instant, Mahesvara felt as though a great mountain had been dropped on him, making it difficult to breathe.
However, he was a man who had seen the world. He forced himself to remain calm and gestured for his bodyguards not to make any sudden moves. Stepping forward alone, he pressed his palms together and bowed to Yi Beidou in the traditional Siamese greeting.
"Great Master, I am Mahesvara, the Third Prince of Siam. I am here to listen to your teachings."
Mahesvara said in slightly broken Donghua Language.
"You should be grateful you didn’t let your men make a move just now. Otherwise, you’d already be dead."
Yi Beidou said coolly.
Mahesvara’s breath hitched. He didn’t dare say another word.
Although he didn’t recognize Yi Beidou by sight, he had already guessed his identity.
’A man from Donghua, a Saint Expert at such a young age, with exceptionally ruthless methods and an overwhelming Demonic Qi...’
’Who else could it be but the vicious man from the recent intelligence reports—the one who wreaked havoc in Northern Myanmar and single-handedly slaughtered the Pioneer Group’s Southern Ocean Branch?’
’He just couldn’t understand why this man would appear here, or why he would be so ruthless toward the Bao Lian Temple.’
’He knew the man had some history with the Bao Lian Temple, but it shouldn’t have escalated to this point.’
But Yi Beidou clearly had no interest in explaining the details to him.
Or rather, Mahesvara didn’t have the right to know.
「Meanwhile」
The news of what happened at the Great Bao Lian Temple was already spreading like wildfire. Outside the Bao Lian Temple, the streets had been urgently blockaded by the Siamese Military. Fully armed soldiers advanced on the temple, surrounding it completely. All tourists were temporarily detained. The roar of engines filled the air as helicopters swarmed in, circling in the sky above.
The area was placed on high alert.
「Donghua. Special Security Bureau Headquarters.」
"Minister Zhao! We just received a report from our agents in Siam! The Great Bao Lian Temple was attacked, and the Siamese Military has been deployed in force! The attacker is suspected to be Yi Beidou!"
Zhao Ping’s office door was thrown open without a knock by his panting assistant.
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ping shot up from his chair, his head spinning.
’I knew something would happen after he disappeared. How did he end up in Siam?! And at the Great Bao Lian Temple, of all places?!’
’Does he really want to turn all of Nanyang upside down?!’
