Now, after decades of consolidation, he had fully digested the gains he’d made in Donghua. The man’s strength would only be greater than before.
"Seizing the Life Magnetic Fields of others to strengthen yourself... It seems my judgnt was correct. You truly walk a heretical path."
"You must be killed!"
Yi Beidou’s expression turned fierce. The space around him instantly dimd as Demon Fla blazed to life. Everything began to distort and blur, with only the Light of Chaotic Stars piercing through the confusion to envelop his body.
Celestial Fiend, Human Fiend, a Demon Nature as vast as the sea!
In an instant, the Demon Fla surged toward Tanaka Shoukichi, blanketing the area where he stood.
The hazy, radiant light around him was suppressed by the Demon Fla, unable to spread more than three ters from his body.
Yi Beidou was filled with killing intent, his aura so powerful it seed to make heaven and earth tremble.
"Young people are certainly full of vigor. A Celestial Demon descending upon the world, with killing intent vast as the sea... a rare sight in any age. But don’t you forget, I am not alone."
A smile touched the corners of Tanaka Shoukichi’s mouth.
「At the sa ti.」
In Miyazaki Prefecture, inside the Eight Universes in One Tower.
An eerie light filled the space. Mr. Ju sat cross-legged in the center of the room, where a miniature doll of Yi Beidou was suspended in midair, bound by red string.
The doll’s body was trembling violently. A faint blue light rose from its surface, looking as if it might burst into fla at any mont.
’What terrifying power. Even from such a great distance, relying only on the link of the Nightmare Technique is enough to cause this strange phenonon in the doll.’
"It seems the battle has begun. Against an opponent of this caliber, even with the help of the Eight Universes in One Tower, conventional thods probably won’t be very effective. I’m afraid I’ll need to rest for a long ti after this," Mr. Ju said with a smile.
He flipped his palm over, and a Silver Needle as thin as a hair appeared in his hand.
SWOOSH!
Pinching the Silver Needle between two fingers, he plunged it into his own chest.
The entire needle disappeared inside. Then, Mr. Ju slowly pulled it back out.
The mont the Silver Needle was withdrawn, his entire aura fluctuated, as if he had expended a massive amount of energy.
When the Silver Needle was completely free, it was stained with bright red blood.
This was his "heart’s blood."
Mr. Ju pinched the Silver Needle between two fingers and ford a Seal Technique with his other hand. The magnetic field within the Array vibrated violently, and the needle began to emit a blazing light.
"Nightmare!"
With a low shout, Mr. Ju flicked his finger. The Silver Needle shot out, instantly piercing through the chest of the Yi Beidou doll.
「anwhile, beneath the Tokyo Tower.」
BOOM!
Yi Beidou felt the Great Trend in the sky suddenly stir as an inexplicable, mountain-like pressure descended. It was like the Tathagata Buddha’s Five Finger Mountain, intent on crushing him utterly.
He churned his Qi and blood, his Demon Fla surging upward to resist the pressure.
Trying to harm Yi Beidou from a distance with a Nightmare Technique was nearly impossible. Even using heart’s blood or a Forbidden Secret Technique would have been a difficult feat.
Mr. Ju was well aware of this.
The Nightmare Technique was not omnipotent.
But his goal was never to injure Yi Beidou, but rather to limit his power.
Inevitably, under Mr. Ju’s Nightmare Technique, Yi Beidou had to divert his focus to resist the pressure, causing the montum of his magnetic field to drop.
And that wasn’t the end of it.
At that very mont, in six locations surrounding the Tokyo Tower, the remnants of Japan’s Twelve Martial Saints and so of their Saint Realm descendants stood atop six buildings, each at the center of an Array.
The Arrays were constructed from Copper Pillars engraved with strange Spells, and thin threads connected the Saint Realm masters at their centers.
Now, they all exerted their power simultaneously, circulating their Qi and blood and stimulating their Life Magnetic Fields to activate the Arrays.
VMM! VMM! VMM!
If soone skilled in Observing Qi were present, they would see six pillars of light shooting into the sky. Their auras ford a special connection, converging toward the Tokyo Tower.
Earth veins, the Great Trend, and various other factors now seed to rge as one with the towering Tokyo Tower.
The entire aura of the Tokyo Tower changed, and it seed to beco a giant mountain. Yi Beidou, standing at its base, was the very thing it sought to suppress.
The Six Paths Soul Suppressing Array!
Instantly, the Demon Fla enveloping Yi Beidou was compressed once more, and his entire body felt incredibly heavy.
RUMBLE!
Unseen, dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and the sound of muffled thunder rolled through the air.
The convergence of the various magnetic fields was faintly beginning to alter the weather.
VMM!
The radiant light around Tanaka Shoukichi, which Yi Beidou had been suppressing, flared up once again, as if all its restraints had been shattered.
It even seed more intense than before.
For a single battle, Tanaka Shoukichi had made so many preparations.
Just as Wei Cheng had said, the man was always cautious, striving to ensure nothing could go wrong.
"Now, we can truly begin our fight," Tanaka Shoukichi said with a smile.
DING!
The next mont, three of the Tomoe swirling around him trembled slightly, letting out a crisp sound before slamming into his body.
The shape of three Tomoe appeared on his forehead, and his body began to undergo a drastic transformation.
VMM!
A sound like a great bronze bell emanated from within him. His body expanded, growing more muscular, and his skin took on a golden sheen.
Not only that, but patterns resembling dragon scales appeared on his skin, and the functioning of his internal organs accelerated dramatically.
In an instant, his physical strength seed to have risen to a terrifying level.
BOOM!
Tanaka Shoukichi unleashed his power, his body shooting forward like a cannonball as the ground beneath him exploded into fragnts.
He threw a palm strike, the Technique fierce and domineering, intending to clash head-on with Yi Beidou!
Yi Beidou’s expression tightened slightly as he t the attack with a palm of his own.
Even with his power restricted by the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Grand Array and Mr. Ju’s Nightmare Technique, not just anyone could face him in a direct assault!
WHOOSH!
The Demon Fla roiled like a monstrous, sky-blotting wave.
The clash of their flesh actually produced the sound of striking tal. Terrifying shockwaves of Qi and radiant light exploded outward in rings.
SKRR!
The one who retreated was actually Tanaka Shoukichi!
"What an enviable physical body. In that case, let see where your limit lies."
However, there was not the slightest hint of surprise on Tanaka’s face.
DING!
Another three Tomoe trembled and chid before slamming into Tanaka Shoukichi’s body.
BOOM!
An even more terrifying aura erupted from within him. His Physical Ability was still rising!
Six Tomoe!
Each Tomoe represented the Life Magnetic Field of a Saint Realm master. Although the intensity of these fields could not compare to when those Saints were alive, they still contained their Dao and Skill.
Tanaka Shoukichi could rge these Tomoe into himself, stimulating his Life Magnetic Field, strengthening his own Physical Ability, and gaining the boost of the strongest abilities those Saints possessed in life!
Six Tomoe ant six Saint Realm masters, six Divine Powers combined into one!
BOOM!
The two clashed with another palm strike. This ti, Tanaka Shoukichi was actually able to match Yi Beidou evenly, not giving an inch!
And this was still not Tanaka Shoukichi’s limit.
DING!
With another soft chi, three more Tomoe rged into Tanaka Shoukichi’s body.
VMMMM!
A humming sound emanated from deep within his body. It was strangely like a chorus—lodious, yet carrying an eerie, malevolent feeling.
CRACKLE!
Tanaka Shoukichi thrust out a palm, the hairs on his head standing on end as his body seed to crackle with electricity.
Nine Tomoe, the Soul-Devouring Song.
SHOCK!
With the suddenness of a startling jolt, he elevated his will, condensing the disparate Divine Powers of the Nine Tomoe into a single point.
The power of this single palm was world-shaking.
RUMBLE!
As he thrust out the palm, muffled thunder rumbled across the sky—whether by coincidence or not.
"Hah!"
Yi Beidou let out a low shout. The Seven Stars in his palm reversed their course, and the Demon Fla distorted reality itself.
Celestial Demon Chaotic Star, Reversed Seven Stars Palm!
This was practically his strongest attack in his normal state.
However...
BOOM!
The terrifying collision created an explosion that swept through the area. Yi Beidou’s seemingly invincible, Demon Lord-like body was actually forced back two steps by the impact.
Each step landed with imnse weight, causing the ground to sink deeply. One could only imagine the force behind his movents.
"Nine Tomoe... is that your limit? Because I have yet to reach mine."
By this point, Tanaka Shoukichi towered over Yi Beidou. His expression was fierce. With a re thought, the three remaining Tomoe around him began to tremble before slamming into his body.
Tanaka Shoukichi, in concert with Japan’s Saint Realm masters, unleashed a myriad of Divine Powers upon Yi Beidou.
Doom had arrived!
