Chapter 337 Breaking Through the Sky, Who Can Rush Against the Heroes of Past and Present? (Part 1)
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's do it this way."

After a brief silence, Long Yichen shook his head and said nothing more, because he knew that saying anything would be useless.

This can be discerned simply by examining Yi Beidou's life trajectory and various behaviors.

He betrayed his country and went to Japan alone, causing chaos and even leading to the deaths of the Japanese Emperor and his most important figure. Knowing the terror of the ancients, he still rushed into their secret realm, Penglai Immortal Mountain, killing and stealing their techniques and treasures. He intercepted the Sleeping One halfway and comprehended "Immortal Power" in the battle.
These earth-shattering events are not something someone who listens to advice would do.

hum! !

Long Yichen deactivated his Heavenly Monarch state, and the powerful radiance on his body completely dissipated, his aura rapidly receding.

Yi Beidou narrowed his eyes. He sensed that the "hole" in the other's body was rapidly "closing." Some kind of power that he couldn't understand was leaving Long Yichen's body as the hole closed, causing his partially transformed body to quickly return to its original state.

He returned from his demigod form to his mortal body.

This is a phenomenon that Yi Beidou cannot yet comprehend.

Long Yichen's face was very pale, as if he had been dead for several days. He flipped his hand and took out a few pills from the satchel at his waist and swallowed them. After his stomach rumbled and circulated, a trace of color returned to his face.

Yi Beidou also released the state of Heavenly Demon Disintegration. However, this time the backlash was completely within his control, and it only caused blood to seep from his pores and his internal organs to be in disarray.

A mere fatal wound, not worth mentioning.

"So, when do you plan to leave?"

Long Yichen coughed lightly and asked.

"Since the decision has been made, the sooner the better."

As Yi Beidou spoke, he looked at Meng Qianyuan and said, "Qianyuan, inform Minister Zhao and ask him to help make some arrangements."

"clear."

Meng Qianyuan nodded and immediately turned and walked out of the stadium.

Donghua.

A video began to quietly circulate online.

The video footage is somewhat blurry, the shooting angle is high in the air and far from the target, and the camera is often shaky.

However, some "unusual phenomena" at the scene still allow us to discern certain things.

In the middle of a desolate wilderness, two figures crossed paths at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, colliding and creating a terrifying explosion.

Clearly, this is a duel between martial arts masters of unparalleled strength.

"Bloodfire Demon Flame!! It's definitely Mr. Yi's Bloodfire Demon Flame!! Who is his opponent?!"

"The filming location is a wilderness with no buildings in sight, so the exact location is uncertain. However, I heard that Mr. Yi has recently been in the Mediterranean region, so this should be the eastern Mediterranean, right?"

"."

The video went viral online as soon as it was released.

Today, society as a whole has reached a consensus that a new era is about to begin.

From the steam age to the electrical age, and from the electrical age to the information age, some predicted that the next era would belong to virtual reality and AI technology, but no one could have imagined that the next era would actually belong to the evolution of life.

On the Donghua Internet, martial arts experts are more popular than A-list celebrities. Any topic related to them will receive widespread attention and spread rapidly, making them a veritable traffic magnet, and even capable of causing significant fluctuations in the stock market.

As for Yi Beidou, his popularity is unparalleled.

Moreover, it involves a major international event in the Mediterranean region.

As the video spread, online experts quickly used the "frame-by-frame technique" to capture the figures of Yi Beidou's opponent, which were difficult to see with the naked eye, and selected the clearer frames.

After a series of comparisons, it instantly ignited the entire Donghua Network.

Everyone noticed that Yi Beidou's opponent's physique was extremely similar to that of the "Land Immortal" who had recently rampaged through Donghua!

"It's that legendary ancient immortal!! There's no doubt about it, it must be him!!"

"This man ran rampant in Donghua, swaggering through the streets. Even the authorities couldn't do anything about him and could only evacuate the people along his route in advance. It's unheard of. It's said that an entire combined arms brigade was no match for him. He's a figure who is above all organizations and countries. I never expected that Mr. Yi would actually fight this man!"

"Not only did we fight, we won! Look at that guy, he could only flee in defeat! Haha, that was really satisfying. I'm afraid Mr. Yi knew that this guy was rampant in Donghua and was too arrogant, so he specially sought him out to teach him a lesson. This guy was touted as some invincible ancient immortal, but in the end, he was still defeated by us modern people!"

"."

The internet was abuzz with jubilation because not long ago, the entire country had to make way for him at the border of Donghua, and that sense of frustration and panic permeated the hearts of every Donghua citizen.

Many pessimists even believe that human society will return to the primitive era of divine rule.

The appearance of this video proves that no so-called ancient immortals are a match for contemporary martial artists, which can be said to put people's minds at ease.

However, amidst this jubilation, some were alarmed. While everyone rejoiced that Yi Beidou had defeated the ancient immortals, upon closer examination, this only proved that Yi Beidou's strength had surpassed that of the modern army.

What will the world be like in the future?
The video deliberately released by the authorities in Donghua helped to calm the restless public. Other countries also used the video to stabilize their people. The major secretive organizations in the Mediterranean region also had to take this issue seriously and began to discuss the arrangements for the subsequent struggle.

Juncheng.

The Illuminati are communicating through the golden earrings.

In the last battle, they suffered heavy losses, not only losing two spirit tokens, but also the Duke of Destruction and some members of the Ancient Ones were forced to leave the field due to severe injuries, making it impossible for them to continue the competition.

Originally, they planned to wait for the sleepers within their organization to arrive before immediately launching a purge against the Donghua people, killing Yi Beidou, reclaiming the spirit tablets, and avenging their previous humiliation.

Unexpectedly, not long ago they received intelligence that Yi Beidou had taken the initiative to intercept Dong Wang and actually managed to defeat him, causing him to flee in a sorry state and almost die.

This is incredible.

In their estimation, Yi Beidou possessed abilities comparable to the Sleepers, but only comparable. Once the Sleepers launched a full-scale attack, Yi Beidou would have almost no chance of winning.

However, it has now been proven that Yi Beidou actually possesses combat power surpassing that of the Sleepers, forcing them to change their plans.

"Eye of the Sun, is there any definite news? How many His Excellencies from within the organization have awakened this time?"

A voice came from the golden earring, asking the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Everyone knows that, given the current state of affairs in the Mediterranean, a sufficient number of Sleepers are needed to seize the last remaining secret.

If the Sleepers who have arrived this time cannot give everyone hope of seizing the secrets, the crowd, who have just experienced a major setback, will probably disperse immediately.

"According to the latest news, His Majesty the Thunder King and His Majesty the Crystal King have contacted us and are on their way."

"The Eye of the Sun said."

"Two Your Majesties?" Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy. It had been many years since the Illuminati had seen two slumbering beings awaken at the same time.

Such beings are rare to begin with, and they would never awaken unless absolutely necessary, lest they cause unnecessary trouble, nor would they easily take action, thus increasing the potential loss of their own immortal cells.

This is enough to demonstrate the importance attached to the leak of the ruins' aura.

"According to the original plan, once the two Your Excellencies arrive, we will launch an attack on the Donghua martial artists and reclaim the two spirit talismans that rightfully belong to us?"

"That Donghua man defeated the Eastern King not long ago. He is a well-known figure even among the Sleepers. His strength is beyond our comprehension and unfathomable. It would be unwise to attack him!"

"Your Excellencies, are you afraid of a mere individual like him? Unless he has truly become a god, he is doomed to die."

"."

There was a significant disagreement among the Illuminati members, with each side sticking to their own version of events, resulting in a noisy conference channel.

"Alright, stop arguing. This is not something we can decide. Whether to do it and how to do it depends on the plans of those two lords."

"The Eye of the Sun said calmly."

However, unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to provoke the Donghua martial artists again. That young man named Yi Beidou was just too strange, and he had no idea where the other party's limits were.

These repeated incidents have cast a shadow over his heart.

It wasn't just the Illuminati; other factions shared the same idea.

Originally, many forces coveted the two spirit tokens in Yi Beidou's hands. After all, even though Yi Beidou displayed great power in Juncheng, he was still seen as an easy target by many. According to the original plan, once their own Sleepers arrived, several forces would launch a surprise attack on the Donghua group.

But not long ago, Yi Beidou's battle with Dong Wang was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of all the hidden beings.

Just how strong is this person? Does he have any other hidden trump cards? What kind of power does he actually use?
Before these things are clarified, it's unlikely anyone would underestimate the other side.

Mystic Heaven.

"Everyone, please prepare yourselves. Soon, Lord Chasing Wheel Saint King will come to join us. I've heard that there are also unusual movements in 'Ancient Netherworld,' and it's possible that another great being has awakened."

Yuanting.

"Will Lord Kuangsha arrive soon? That's wonderful news."

Each secret organization is preparing to welcome its top figure, who is also the strongest person in human society for thousands of years, a terrifying existence with an alternative kind of immortality, standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world.

In the more than two thousand years of history of the world, there has probably never been a time when such figures awakened at the same time, gathered in one place, just to fight for a hidden place.

Besides the sleepers of various secret organizations, there are also some ancient beings who do not belong to any force, are submerged in history, and are little known to the world.

Somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean.

A European-style manor villa, with a luxuriously decorated study.

A woman dressed in a plain-colored long dress in the traditional Donghua style, which seemed out of place with the decor of the study, sat on a soft office chair in the study.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, almost demonic, but her body was completely devoid of color, like a cold corpse. What was most chilling was that her eyes had no whites, presenting a deep black.

Anyone who meets her gaze will feel an irresistible fear, as if their very consciousness is being swallowed up by those eyes.

But these eyes, which should belong in horror movies, present a somewhat incongruous sense of majesty and holiness on this woman.

At that moment, the study door was pushed open, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked in, prostrating himself before the woman and muttering something as if in a trance, which was impossible for an ordinary person to understand.

"Interesting. The battle not long ago was actually fought by that guy, Dong Wang. What's even more interesting is that the person who defeated him was actually a mortal from the present world."

"Could a mortal who hasn't absorbed any immortal blood and flesh achieve this level of skill?"

"Hmm, regarding the situation in the Mediterranean region, we need to find a few more 'tongues' from other hidden forces to get a comprehensive understanding. I woke up to find that the various schools of thought had fallen apart. To understand the current situation, I have to do it myself. It's really troublesome."

The woman muttered to herself, her gaze falling on the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.

"Well, in that case, it's best not to leak any information about me for the time being."

The woman looked at the middle-aged man and took a soft breath.

Suddenly, a beam of strange light shot out from the middle-aged man's body and instantly entered the woman's mouth.

Pfft! !

The middle-aged man's body went limp instantly, and he collapsed completely to the ground, motionless.

Without the woman saying anything more, the study door was soon opened again, and several figures walked in.

One of the middle-aged men was dressed in luxurious clothes, and the other women of varying ages also had extraordinary bearing, clearly not dressed as servants. However, their eyes all seemed to be veiled by a hazy mist, making them look somewhat unusual.

These men seemed completely unsurprised by the scene before them. They lowered their heads, stepped forward, carried the collapsed middle-aged man out, and closed the door behind them.

The woman remained seated, casually picking up books from the bookshelf and flipping through them at an extremely fast pace.

The language barrier didn't seem to have much of an impact on her.

About an hour later, the manor gates opened and several black cars drove in.

Just then, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, and a terrifying dark light shot out from her completely black pupils.

"You caught a ghost while trying to catch a tongue? How interesting, really interesting. This familiar feeling... I wonder which one it is?"

The woman murmured to herself.

Not long after, a young man with lifeless eyes, as if shrouded in mist, was led into the study by several bodyguards in suits with equally strange eyes, and knelt down on the ground.

After the bodyguard left the study and closed the door, the woman slowly stood up and came to the young man.

Instead of manipulating the other party's consciousness to ask for information, she flashed a dark light in her eyes and took a light breath.

In an instant, a strange light flew out from the young man's body. Just like the middle-aged man before him, the young man's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

This time, however, the woman did not directly inhale the ball of light into her mouth, but instead made it float in front of her.

Within this radiant light, a blooming lotus flower was revealed.

"So it was you, Padmasambhava."

"Even such a nobody has a seed of divine consciousness. It seems he has made great progress in the Great Dao of Divine Consciousness."

A cold smile appeared on the woman's lips.
