Chapter 498.6 – Side Story 8 Part 1
Heavenly Demonic Sword (1)
Just two months ago.
A Taoist in white robes was examining someone's pulse and checking their condition.
That someone was the Grand Guardian Ma Ra-hyeon, who had removed his mask, revealing exotic features.
The Taoist, checking various acupoints on Ma Ra-hyeon's head, shook his head and said,
["It will be difficult indeed."]
At these words, the Heavenly Demon, who was watching nearby, frowned.
The old man before him was a Taoist who had come with the Diviner Yeo Surin and was said to be an old acquaintance of the Pavilion Leader of the Harmonious Immortal Pavilion, the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal.
The Heavenly Demon had asked him to examine Ma Ra-hyeon, hoping he might help since he was skilled in artifacts and had deep knowledge in treating magical techniques.
However, contrary to expectations, the result was,
["If the memories were simply forgotten or overwritten, they could be revived with Taoist techniques, but this is completely different."]
["What do you mean?"]
["To put it simply, can you revive something that has been burned to ashes, Divine Cult Leader?"]
["…"]
["It's the same principle. The Samadhi True Fire of the Kunlun Mirror are called the flames of oblivion because they completely burn away memories. Regrettably, even I can do nothing about this."]
["…So it's impossible after all."]
Complete loss of memory.
The Grand Guardian Ma Ra-hyeon had lost his memories.
At that time, the Heavenly Demon, concerned about the aftermath of the fight with the great spirit beast Hong Hae-a, had ordered Ma Ra-hyeon to leave the Celestial Mountain.
Indeed, Ma Ra-hyeon had quickly moved away upon receiving the Heavenly Demon's order and had gone nearly 30 li away.
However, something unexpected happened.
The explosion of the Kunlun Mirror.
They thought it had been completely stopped by the sacrifice of the Hundred-Faced King, the Golden Nine-Tailed Fox, but that was a miscalculation.
In that brief moment when the Heavenly Demon was sealed in the killing stone.
The flames of oblivion caused by the explosion of the Kunlun Mirror instantly covered nearly 70% of the Central Plains.
It swept through all areas except the eastern part of Guangxi Province, Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, Zhejiang Province, and Hainan Island, causing everyone there to lose about two years of memories.
Coincidentally, this point was just before the Four Great Sects Battle occurred.
They realized this less than ten days after returning to the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
Fortunately, the main sect of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains was located between Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, and thanks to this, it escaped the aftermath of the explosion, so there was no memory loss among the cult members.
However,
["This is quite troublesome."]
["To think they would react this way just because of lost memories…"]
With the loss of memories up to the Four Great Sects Battle, nearly 70% of the people in the Central Plains forgot about the Three Eyes and Imaemangyangs who tried to destroy the Central Plains with a great calamity, and even the imposing figure of Cult Leader Heavenly Demon who had received the title of the World's Strongest.
Perhaps because of this aftermath?
Many righteous sects, including the Righteous Alliance, which had been suppressed until now, began to show ominous movements.
These were clearly movements of hostility and vigilance.
While the elders and executives found this quite annoying, the Heavenly Demon was just satisfied that his people were safe.
But not everyone had fully preserved their memories.
The Grand Guardian Ma Ra-hyeon was caught in this explosion.
As the Heavenly Demon patted Ma Ra-hyeon's shoulder with a heavy hand, he clasped his hands in greeting and said,
["It's alright. Even if my memories from that time are gone, it doesn't hinder me at all in serving my lord."]
At first, he had struggled with the absence of memories.
However, as others filled in the gaps for him, the confusion was quickly resolved.
The process of establishing the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, and the time spent preparing to avenge his father, Priest Mayera.
Finally, learning that he had avenged his father in the Celestial Mountains of Xinjiang, and in this process, received help from his lord, the Heavenly Demon, he shook off the lingering regrets that had troubled him.
'He has already overcome it mentally.'
The Taoist smiled slightly at their appearance.
Then he coughed lightly and said,
["Ahem. Surin."]
At his call, the Diviner Yeo Surin clapped her hands and said to the Heavenly Demon,
["Divine Cult Leader. Where is it?"]
At this question, the Heavenly Demon, who had his hand on Ma Ra-hyeon's shoulder, turned his gaze somewhere.
It was towards a round table behind them.
There was something wrapped in thick cloth on the table, and when the Heavenly Demon made a gesture, it floated up and moved towards the Taoist.
Dung dung!
"Oh my."
The Taoist let out a small exclamation.
When he first saw the Heavenly Demon, he couldn't sense anything as he had completely concealed his energy.
But the moment the Heavenly Demon revealed his energy, he was inwardly quite shocked.
The energy revealed through the Void Seizing Technique was just a tiny fragment.
But the enormous true form of the energy visible through that gap.
Gooooooo!
The Taoist could see it.
'Is this why that friend said so?'
He had met the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal, the Pavilion Leader of the Harmonious Immortal Pavilion, before coming here.
["It's been a long time, Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal."]
["You… It's been a long time. You, who should be in Kunlun, have you come here because you've finally paid off all your karma?"]
Karma.
The Taoist had been paying for the karma of his past actions for a long time.
The Taoist smiled bitterly and replied,
["I wish, but it's not karma that can be easily washed away."]
["That's what happens when you go against the heavenly secrets, no, the natural order. You brought into the world something that shouldn't exist."]
["Hehehe. Let's stop talking about that. This old man has come at the request of the Immortal Realm."]
["Immortal Realm? Don't tell me…"]
["They asked me to retrieve all the precious treasures that the Demon Immortal Hong Hae-a ran away with. Especially the Kunlun Mirror, as it's an object that shouldn't remain in the mortal world, they told me to bring it back without fail."]
At these words from the Taoist, the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal shook his head as if he had guessed and clicked his tongue.
Then he shrugged and said,
["As you can see, it's not here."]
["Didn't you retrieve them?"]
["I intended to, as they're dangerous objects, but I couldn't."]
["Couldn't?"]
At this question, the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal said something unexpected.
["Someone from the mortal world took them."]
["The mortal world? How could you hand over such dangerous things?"]
["They're no longer dangerous. From what I heard from my disciple, all the precious treasures, including the Kunlun Mirror, have been destroyed and can no longer be used."]
At these words, the Taoist's eyes widened.
Destroyed the precious treasures?
That wasn't something that could be destroyed by ordinary human power.
Being treasures born from immortal power, it was only possible for a very few among the ancient immortals who had reached the pinnacle of immortal techniques or other precious treasures.
But the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal didn't find this strange at all.
Puzzled, the Taoist asked,
["Who is the one who destroyed the precious treasures?"]
To this question, the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal replied in a meaningful voice,
["My disciples unanimously call him this."]
["This?"]
["The World's Strongest."]
At first, the Taoist didn't easily believe those words.
But he couldn't hide his surprise when he heard that this person had defeated the Great Strength King, the leader of the Six Demons, and even slain the god-like being from another world who had tried to cause the great calamity warned about in the heavenly secrets.
Being of divine rank meant literally being a transcendent being.
Such a being was defeated by a mere human?
'So it was true.'
And seeing it in person now, it was indeed worthy of the name.
There was a reason why the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal, who hadn't met him directly, had praised him as an extraordinary person.
This man was truly a monster.
Even this faint fragment of energy that was revealed while being extremely suppressed was astonishing.
'…Amazing. I thought there would never be a being greater than that child who was born from the gathering of all the energies of heaven and earth.'
This is the first time I've felt this way since that child.
Moreover, this person is escaping the influence of the natural order by extremely suppressing his power on his own.
It's truly surprising that such a being existed in the mortal world.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon unwrapped the package and showed the fragments of the broken Kunlun Mirror, saying,
["Is this what you need?"]
["Yes."]
["Take it. It's useless anyway."]
["…"]
At these words from the Heavenly Demon, the Taoist looked at the fragments of the broken Kunlun Mirror with a dejected expression.
He had been hoping against hope, but indeed, there was no immortal power left in the Kunlun Mirror at all.
'How ironic.'
Contrary to the concerns of the Immortal Realm, the Kunlun Mirror no longer had any influence on the mortal world.
This only caused trouble for its original owner.
He had thought that the Kunlun Mirror was connected to its original spirit.
Still, he should take it, shouldn't he?
Suk!
The Taoist put his hands together to express gratitude to the Heavenly Demon.
After retrieving the Kunlun Mirror and preparing to leave quietly, the Taoist suddenly looked at the Heavenly Demon's face, frowning, and said,
["How strange."]
["What do you mean?"]
["It's truly bizarre. How is this possible?"]
["…What are you trying to say?"]
As the Heavenly Demon raised one eyebrow and asked, the Taoist pondered for a moment before speaking.
["As thanks for allowing me to retrieve the precious treasure safely, I'll tell you this. Soon, an event that will change heaven and earth will occur."]
["An event that will change heaven and earth?"]
["Yes. But I can't understand it at all. How is it that this fate that will change heaven and earth doesn't interfere with the flow of heavenly secrets? I don't understand. Indeed."]
There aren't many who are born with a fate that can change heaven and earth.
Usually, if one is born with such a fate, it's related to the heavenly secrets, so it's something that absolutely shouldn't be interfered with.
But the fate entangled with this person was completely ignoring that flow.
As if it were a natural occurrence.
It's truly incomprehensible.
But if it doesn't hinder the flow of heavenly secrets at all,
["On the day heaven and earth change, the tangled thread of terrible karma that has been complicatedly entwined with the Divine Cult Leader will unravel."]
["Thread of terrible karma?"]
Kwadeuk!
At that moment, unable to control his strength, the wine cup in the Heavenly Demon's hand shattered.
He could clearly sense it.
A gate connecting to that place had opened high in the sky.
Along with it, an enormously ominous energy that encompassed heaven and earth, all too familiar, was stimulating his spiritual perception.
'So it was you.'
The being who had crossed over to the human realm by opening the gate tried to use its authority to check if there were any beings with demonic power remaining.
It wasn't difficult to confirm the location if there was even a trace of demonic power.
'If I spread the waves of demonic power from a high place, I should be able to find out.'
Ssssssss!
The being rose to a high place in the sky and spread demonic power that extended like a spider's web.
Demonic power close to infinity spread in all directions.
'Where are you?'
Whether it was him or the Golden Heavenly King, they couldn't hide that resonance as long as he was searching directly.
But it hadn't even been half a day since he spread the demonic power.
Hmchit!
A being suddenly appeared before his eyes.
It was a handsome human he had never seen before.
"Human?"
Just as he was wondering how such an underdeveloped being as a human could fly in the sky,
"I told you not to take an interest in this place."
'!?'
At these words, the being who had been spreading demonic power in all directions instantly stopped and tried to respond, but
Chok!
At that moment, the space in the area distorted, and the human's form was sucked into the space, then a black dot pierced through his body.
Pussung!
It happened in an instant.
"Kuaaaaaaak!"
His form, with a hole pierced through his chest, flew for over a hundred jang.
Chapter 498.7
Chapter 498.7 – Side Story 8 Part 2
Heavenly Demonic Sword (2)
"Kueuuuu."
The hole in the chest of the being who had been pierced by the sword energy and flung back hundreds of jang quickly regenerated.
Tatatata!
The being who had crossed through the gate was thrown into confusion.
He was the King of Demons.
From being instantly reduced to this state by a mere human, not even worth an insect, to those arrogant words just now, everything was extremely irritating.
["I told you not to take an interest in this place."]
As soon as he heard that arrogant tone, he immediately thought of someone.
However, the Demon King strongly denied this, shaking his head.
'It can't be.'
That person was of the demon clan from the roots.
But this one was clearly human.
Eudeuk!
The Demon King, with his chest wound fully healed, spread both hands.
Chachachachachacha!
Black spaces opened around him, and from them, black iron pieces shot out and attached to his entire body.
These attached black iron pieces soon formed into armor.
Having judged from that previous strike that his opponent was an enemy he absolutely couldn't underestimate, he had donned armor.
'I may have been caught off guard before, but now it won't work…'
Wuung!
At that moment, space rippled right below him, and someone's fist shot out.
The Demon King's chin was thrust upward.
Kwang! Wudeudeudeuk!
Puk!
The Demon King, hit in the chin, flew upward spinning.
Even in his dazed state, as bright light flashed in the Demon King's eyes, a large black hand appeared in mid-air, blocking him from being flung back like a wall.
Wuung!
'He's coming.'
Sensing the vibration of space,
The Demon King nimbly tilted his head to the side.
At that moment, a large hole was punched through the giant black hand that had been supporting him.
"Too slow."
"What?"
Tteok!
"Keuhek!"
Although he had dodged well, the handsome human, no, the Heavenly Demon who had suddenly appeared in front of the Demon King, kicked up his chin.
But it didn't end there.
In that state, the Heavenly Demon's form split into dozens, consecutively brushing past the Demon King.
Chwachwachwachwachwachwa!
Almost like doppelgangers, this was the epitome of swiftness.
Every time the Heavenly Demon brushed past, the trajectory of his sword belatedly drew a line.
Each sword technique traced by the trajectory skillfully cut through the gaps where there was no armor, inflicting wounds.
"Keuk! You bastard!"
The Demon King tried to counterattack while enduring the pain, but
As the Heavenly Demon pulled back his formless sword and then thrust it forward, the Demon King's head flew off.
Kwajik!
The merciless strike seemed to deliver the final blow to the Demon King.
However, something strange happened.
The Demon King's neck area twitched, and then,
Pusuk!
His head shot out along with a sticky liquid.
It was regeneration beyond imagination.
The Heavenly Demon clicked his tongue at the incredible regenerative power that could regrow even a completely destroyed head.
'Still the same.'
He had always been a being with exceptional regenerative abilities even among the demon clan.
For such a being to have fully embodied all his demonic power, it wasn't strange for his regeneration to have evolved to this extent.
On the other hand,
'Damn it!'
The Demon King, whose consciousness had been completely obliterated for a moment when his head was destroyed, was dumbfounded. If not for his extraordinary regenerative power, it wouldn't have been strange if he had died instantly. This power was simply unbelievable for a human.
Jjiritjjirit!
But then, sharp sword energy pierced through the gaps in his armor into his entire body, rendering him immobile.
Moreover, that sword energy was aimed at the core located in the center of his chest.
"You'll regret it if you move."
The Demon King, glaring at the Heavenly Demon who was issuing this warning, opened his mouth.
"…Who exactly are you?"
He was the Demon King.
There was no way an ordinary human could push him this far.
Then, the Heavenly Demon spoke in a low, majestic voice.
"I am the brilliant flame that guides everything into darkness."
Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
The moment he heard those words, the Demon King's core began to beat frantically.
He had thought it might be…
"Impossible!"
["What are you trying to do?"]
["In the end, only that insect-like human woman matters to you."]
["She's not everything, but it's not like you think…"]
["Enough. I understand well how you think of our clan. If you like that place so much, then rot there for the rest of your life."]
["Taura!"]
["Oh, I forgot. Come to think of it, how did they know about your woman?"]
["You… don't tell me…"]
["Huhuhu. They will come looking for you. Try to survive while running away desperately. If you can survive in that state, that is."]
With his own hands, he had thrown him into the gate.
He thought that even if he was alive, his core would be shattered, leaving him barely clinging to life.
But what is this appearance?
"Why… why are you alive in such a form?"
To this question, the Heavenly Demon casually replied with his arms crossed.
"In a way, I'm grateful. Taura."
Words implying affirmation.
So he really had become human?
At these words, Taura, the current Demon King, trembled, seemingly shocked.
"How on earth?"
"I simply chose."
"Chose? Becoming such a worthless mortal is…"
"Why do you think these worthless mortals resemble our clan so closely? Have you never wondered about that?"
"What?"
At these words, Demon King Taura was at a loss for words.
Once, when he first came to the human realm, he too had such thoughts.
Unlike other places, the beings in this human realm particularly resembled them.
Although their internal structures were different, it was amazing that their external appearances were so similar.
"It's only natural. Because the roots of our clan originated from this place."
"What do you mean?"
"Long ago, there was a time when the human realm was on the brink of destruction, and at that time, our clan opened a gate and settled in the demon realm."
Hearing this story for the first time, Demon King Taura became confused.
He was born in the demon realm and was of the 4th generation in the clan, but as far as he knew, this person was almost like the 1st generation.
He was like a living chart of generations for the clan.
"Gravity several times that of the human realm. Thin air, an environment teeming with numerous dangerous entities – to adapt to this, our clan underwent repeated evolution."
Living beings evolve in some way to fit their environment.
They evolved physically to survive in the harsh demon realm.
"Huh? Are you saying we originated from such inferior humans?"
"Inferior? They have simply evolved to the optimal state for this place."
At these words from the Heavenly Demon, Demon King Taura sneered as if in disbelief.
"So you're saying you've evolved to fit this environment?"
The Heavenly Demon didn't deny it.
At this, Demon King Taura raised his voice with a flushed face.
"Stop talking nonsense! You call that evolution? What you've done is regression. Becoming a lowly mortal who can't even live a hundred years is evolution? Ha!"
Killing intent surged in Taura's eyes, boiling with anger.
Although he had betrayed and pulled him down out of ambition, disappointment, and hatred, the being before him was once the king of the clan whom he had respected all his life.
Such a king had become a worthless human?
The moment he realized this, only feelings of disappointment and anger remained.
"Not only did you fall for a worthless human, but you even gave up the pride of our clan. A hopeless case like you deserves to die!"
Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk!
Demon King Taura forcibly moved, ignoring the sword energy piercing his entire body.
Even as his limbs were torn off, he showed incredible willpower.
The Heavenly Demon's gaze sharpened.
"Your obsession outweighs your duty as a king."
"I don't want to hear such words from the likes of you!"
Chachachachachacha!
The armor covering Demon King Taura's body simultaneously detached and transformed into weapons.
The weapons, which had taken the form of swords, swords, whips, wheels, and staves, emitted tremendous demonic power and simultaneously rushed towards the Heavenly Demon.
"Die-"
Papapapapapat!
"Foolish act."
The Heavenly Demon grasped his formless sword and thrust it forward.
Even if they were divine objects imbued with the Demon King's demonic power, when the Demon King himself was no match, there was no way these weapons alone could be a match.
The sword strike from the Heavenly Demon's formless sword, converging into a single point of power, collided with the rushing weapons.
Kwachachachachang!
With a tremendous roar, blue light spread out, and the weapons were flung in all directions.
By chance, the Heavenly Demon caught one of the weapons that had been flung straight ahead.
Ttak!
It was a sword made of black iron.
The sword, which had been imbued with the Demon King's demonic power, trembled its blade along with its name, wanting to escape from the Heavenly Demon's hand.
Sssssss!
'Have you forgotten me?'
The Heavenly Demon raised both demonic flames and demonic energy simultaneously, pushing out Taura's demonic power that had been contained in the sword, which moved only by the Demon King's authority and demonic power.
As Taura's demonic power was pushed out of the sword, something amazing happened.
The black sword, which until just now had rejected the Heavenly Demon's touch, began to resonate, emitting sword light.
"Have you recognized me now?"
The sword resonated and clung tightly to his hand.
Smiling slightly as he gazed at it, the Heavenly Demon suddenly remembered someone.
It was the being he had seen in his future vision, said to be his descendant.
Surely, this sword had been in that child's hand.
"I'll have to take you with me. You might be of help to that kid someday."
"Kuaaaa! That belongs to me, this king!"
Demon King Taura, who had lost the sword with the most powerful strength among the divine objects that could be called clan treasures, roared in anger.
To this, the Heavenly Demon pointed upwards and said,
"You should return to where you came from."
"What?"
Looking up, he could see a gate open there.
Come to think of it, the artifact he had brought to open the gate was nowhere to be seen.
"Larisha!"
Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk!
Demon King Taura, enduring even as his entire body was being cut by the sword energy, crossed his hands and raised them, trying to transform into a new form through awakening.
Watching him, the Heavenly Demon shook his head.
"Foolish to the end."
With those words, the Heavenly Demon raised his formless sword.
Then, the sword energy that had pierced into his body went berserk on its own, tearing apart Demon King Taura's entire body.
Chwachwachwachwachwachwa!
"Kuaaaaaaak!"
Demon King Taura, with his entire body annihilated except for the chest area containing the core and his head.
Grasping his head, the Heavenly Demon whispered in a vicious voice.
"I'm sparing you only for the sake of the clan. But this is the last warning. Don't appear before my eyes again."
Chapter 498.8
Chapter 498.8 – Side Story 8 Part 3
Heavenly Demonic Sword (3)
"I'm sparing you only for the sake of the clan. But this is the last warning. Don't appear before my eyes again."
"How… how could a worthless human body… do this…"
"The physical body isn't important. What matters in the end is willpower. Your will simply couldn't match mine, Taura."
"Willpower…"
Demon King Taura's bloodshot eyes trembled madly.
This body, which had fully embodied the demonic power of the Demon King passed down for generations, was transcended by mere willpower?
He couldn't accept it at all.
"How… could I…"
"Take care of the clan. Unlike the Golden Heavenly King, I'm sending you back alive only for that reason."
He really killed even the Golden Heavenly King?
Shocked, Demon King Taura couldn't utter another word.
He had already entered a realm beyond his control.
It was truly disheartening.
Swick!
"La…ri…sha…"
As he called his old name from his days as Demon King, the Heavenly Demon opened a gate and flung him through it.
Paaaaaaang!
As he disappeared, absorbed into the space, the gate closed.
And he threw the artifact towards the closing gate as well.
'Lucky.'
The Heavenly Demon recalled Demon King Taura and exhaled a long breath, clenching his fist.
Kwak!
He wanted to kill the one who had caused Cheong-ryeong so much pain as cruelly as possible.
But after countless deliberations in a split second, he ultimately sent him back alive.
Having lost the seven divine objects that a Demon King should possess, he can no longer exert even half of the authority or power.
He considered removing that power as well, but if he did, they wouldn't be able to keep the Heavenly Clan in check.
Although the Heavenly Clan can't exert the same power as before since he also destroyed the divine objects possessed by the Golden Heavenly King, their top warriors still remained.
A certain balance must be maintained between them to prevent their attention from turning to the human realm.
'…Should I have crossed over and eliminated Taura and the Heavenly Clan instead?'
No.
The Heavenly Demon shook his head.
That wouldn't be a fundamental solution.
If that happened, they might fear him for now, but soon the clan members might also take an interest in the human realm.
In the end, maintaining the status quo was the only answer.
Shall we go back then?
Hmchit!
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon's gaze sharpened.
He turned his head and looked down towards the southwest.
About 100 li away from where the Heavenly Demon was, on a mountain peak on the ground.
An immortal with red eyebrows and beard, treading on white mist, caught a glowing black sword flying at an incredible speed.
Ttak!
'What?'
The immortal, who tried to control the power imbued in the sword with his immortal power, frowned for a moment.
This was because,
Paak!
The moment he grabbed the sword, he was pulled along by it, unable to dissipate the power contained within.
The red-eyebrowed and bearded immortal looked at the black sword with a bewildered expression, then injected immortal power to try and dissipate the energy contained within it.
Wuuuuung!
As he injected immortal power, a vicious energy inside the black sword began to surge.
The immortal tried with all his might to push it back.
After flying nearly a hundred jang like this, the vicious energy flowed out from the black sword.
Schwaaaaa!
The immortal stuck out his tongue at how much immortal power he had consumed.
'How truly vicious.'
He didn't expect such an enormous energy to be contained within.
Still, now that the energy has been somewhat dissipated, surely no more…
'!?'
The immortal's eyes widened.
Just as he thought it was fortunate to have pushed out the vicious energy, the black sword began to absorb his immortal power.
Ssssssss!
As his energy rapidly drained away, the immortal hurriedly took out a gray cloth inscribed with red letters from his bosom and wrapped it around the sword to control it.
As the cloth wrapped around it, the sword trembled violently as if rejecting it, but eventually it stopped.
'It's a demonic object. A demonic object.'
The immortal wiped away cold sweat and caught his breath.
The immortal, who had come here surprised by the strange feeling of heaven and earth changing, couldn't help but be shocked.
What appeared as the gate opened was truly a being with divine power.
Just as he was pondering what to do about the appearance of such an evil being that could spread its energy across the entire Central Plains, he noticed someone appearing.
It was none other than the Cult Leader of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, the Heavenly Demon.
He, who could observe events happening 100 li away with his techniques, happened to witness the Heavenly Demon fighting the Demon King.
The immortal, who had heard so much about him from his disciples that his ears hurt, couldn't help but tremble at the sight.
He thought that perhaps the worst calamity was happening again, following the one two years ago.
But that enormous being was no match at all.
It was truly overwhelming.
'…The World's Strongest.'
How could someone who wasn't an immortal who had cultivated immortal techniques, nor a Imaemangyang born with monstrous strength, reach such a transcendent realm?
The immortal felt both awe and fear towards the being called the Heavenly Demon.
If this being, whom no one in the world could match, were to act on a whim, what would happen?
The mere thought was frightening.
It was at that moment.
'Could it be?'
The immortal was startled, feeling a sharp gaze as if a dagger had pierced his heart.
This was because while he was still observing him with his technique, the Heavenly Demon's gaze had suddenly turned towards him.
'He noticed from this far away?'
But it didn't end there.
Paaaaaaang!
The Heavenly Demon kicked off the air and was flying towards his location at a terrifying speed.
Startled by the tremendous momentum that seemed like it would tear him apart at any moment, the immortal unknowingly used a space-folding technique to leave that place.
Ssssssss!
The place he arrived at after folding space was none other than the Harmonious Immortal Pavilion, known as the most mysterious of the Six Directions Sixty-Four Pavilions.
As the immortal stepped into the backyard of the Harmonious Immortal Pavilion, his legs seemed to give out for a moment and he staggered.
He barely managed to avoid falling by using the black sword he was holding as a cane to support himself on the ground.
His trembling hands wouldn't easily stop shaking.
Then someone called out to him.
"Huh? Master!"
Turning his head, he saw the Diviner Yeo Surin running towards him.
The identity of the immortal was none other than the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal, the Pavilion Leader of the Harmonious Immortal Pavilion and one of the Six Direction Gods.
Surprised by the sight of her master Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal drenched in cold sweat, Yeo Surin asked,
"Master, are you alright?"
To her question, the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal shook his head and replied,
"Haa… haa… I'm fine."
With those words, the Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal caught his breath and released his grip on the sword.
His palm was drenched in sweat.
It seemed like the first time in his life he had been this tense since learning immortal techniques.
The Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal wiped his wet palms and said,
"Surin. You were right."
"Huh?"
"He is an existence that must never be provoked."
"Could it be… the existence you're talking about that shouldn't be provoked is…"
"Yes. The Heavenly Demon Sect Leader."
He was truly a monster that he never wanted to be involved with.
The Crimson-Eyed Old Immortal suddenly looked at the black sword he was holding and wondered what to do with it.
It seemed to be a divine object of that god-like being who had appeared tearing through the sky, but it was too dangerous to let it fall into the hands of ordinary people in the mortal world.
For now, he needed to catch his breath and retrieve the rest of the divine objects that had fallen to the ground.
A few days later,
In an underground cave of Blood Corpse Valley, not far from the outer walls of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
The deep cave, rarely visited by people, was quite spacious.
The Heavenly Demon, examining the interior, turned his head and nodded to someone.
Then,
"Are you really opening the gate? The place you mentioned seems to be connected to a lake as well."
The one who said this was none other than the Diviner Yeo Surin.
"It doesn't matter."
The Heavenly Demon shrugged as if he didn't mind.
This was why he had chosen this cave in the first place.
The cavity was quite large and deep, so he thought it wouldn't cause any particular problems on the surface.
"Alright. I'll open the gate and leave immediately."
With those words, the Diviner Yeo Surin took out the brush she was carrying on her back and drew a large circle in the air.
Mist much larger than usual arose, and eventually an entrance opened.
Then,
Schwaaaaaaaa!
At that moment, water poured out from inside the entrance made of mist.
Yeo Surin was almost swept away by the water pouring down like a waterfall, but thanks to the Heavenly Demon holding her with his energy, she was able to escape from it.
Schwaaaaaaaa!
The pouring water instantly soaked the floor of the cave, and the water level gradually rose.
Then, from within the water pouring down like a waterfall, a huge and long shadow descended with it, and
Paaaaaaaa!
The water pooled on the floor surged up, creating waves.
The waves were about to engulf the entire cave in an instant, but as the Heavenly Demon slightly raised his hand and made a gesture of lowering it,
Schwaaaaaaaa!
The surging water settled down and became calm.
The calmed water then rippled, and a huge something revealed its long body from the bottom.
Goooooo!
With beautiful, shimmering white scales, it looked almost like a white dragon.
However, it was too small to be considered a dragon, and the dragon horns on its head were not very long.
It was a white Imoogi.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon recalled the image of that Imoogi he had seen in the memories of Il Gye Pa Je, who had once been a subordinate of Mokgan.
'It's grown a lot.'
It was much larger than when he had seen it in his memories.
At that moment, the white Imoogi looked up at the air and roared as if howling.
Keukaaaaaaaa!
That roar was filled with a divine energy strong enough to shake this entire space.
As the white Imoogi that had let out the roar moved its body, its scales wriggled, and its body could be seen growing slightly larger.
Kugugugugu!
Even its horns, which were not yet complete, grew a bit longer.
It looked as if it was in a state just before shedding into a true dragon.
Pachichichik!
However, every time the Imoogi moved and stirred its body, strange phenomena occurred, such as lightning striking in all directions.
Kwang kwang!
The white floor, rippling like water, churned waves as if a storm had arisen.
It was at that moment.
Chwaaaak!
Keukaaaaaaaaaaa!
Along with the sound of something being cut, the white Imoogi, which had been stirring its body trying to shed, let out a shriek different from its roar.
Cheobeong! Kuuuuung!
This was because the Imoogi's horn had been cut off.
The Heavenly Demon, who had instantly cut off the Imoogi's horn, landed on the pooled water.
However, his feet did not sink into the water.
This was the divine skill of walking on water.
Keukaaaaaaaaaaa!
The white Imoogi, with its horn cut off, began to twist its huge body while shrieking, and at some point, its white scales began to turn black.
As its yellow eyes began to emit a red light, the Heavenly Demon approached it with a satisfied look.
'As expected, it's become corrupted after being hindered from ascending.'
He had wondered if it would work as intended, but the energy of the Imoogi with its horn cut off had properly transformed.
Seureung!
The Heavenly Demon drew a black sword from the scabbard at his waist.
It was Larisha's sword, one of the seven divine objects of the Demon King.
Keukaaaaaaaa!
The Imoogi, which had become corrupted after having its horn cut off, seemed enraged and spread its spiky scales wide, trying to swallow the Heavenly Demon.
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon raised demonic energy in the black sword.
Eventually, black sword energy arose from the sword.
The Heavenly Demon, who had raised black sword energy with demonic power, flew his form towards the Imoogi and then unfolded his sword technique.
This was the third form of the Demonic Sword Technique he had created.
Chwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwa!
With numerous trajectories, the moment his form brushed past the black Imoogi, black particles scattered in all directions from the Imoogi's head, and then its head split into dozens of pieces.
Kwal kwal kwal!
Pitch-black blood poured like a waterfall from the Imoogi's severed head, dyeing the rippling water on the floor black.
The long and huge body of the Imoogi, staggering without its head, swayed, and soon it finally collapsed to the floor.
Kung! Cheobeong!
The Heavenly Demon approached the Imoogi and then thrust the black sword he was holding into a part of its scales that was growing in reverse.
Then, amazingly, black haze rose from where the black sword was thrust and was sucked into the blade.
'It's absorbing.'
Indeed, perhaps because it was a spirit beast before becoming a dragon, its energy was incredibly vast.
It didn't seem like it would be absorbed in a short time.
If he forced the energy to be absorbed, he could speed up the process, but then he wouldn't be able to fully absorb this corrupted energy.
If that happened, it wouldn't work as intended.
"This will take quite a while. It seems it's not my share."
It seemed he wouldn't need to wield this sword anymore.
It didn't matter.
After all, the reason for doing this was not for himself, but for the future.
Just two months ago,
After the Hong Hae-a incident, the Heavenly Demon had decided to completely annihilate all the Imaemangyangs.
So he eliminated them whenever he spotted them.
Then he went to the cliff of the valley where the Spiritual Sword Sanctuary was located, intending to deal with the monster Earth Dragon, which he had lost when fighting with an unidentified swordsman at the time.
But there, coincidentally, he discovered the exploded corpse of the Earth Dragon.
'!?'
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon suddenly recalled the words of the one who had called himself a prophet at the Spiritual Sword Sanctuary.
["I am… a kind of prophet."]
["A prophet?"]
["I don't have much time now. Whether you believe me or not, this is closely related to you, no, to your descendants as well."]
["Descendants?"]
["Yes. Due to an immortal being, the vast organization you will create and your descendants, no, the entire martial arts world will be in danger."]
["…An immortal being?"]
The Heavenly Demon was puzzled by the exploded corpse of the Earth Dragon.
He had certainly cut the swordsman's limbs into six pieces in a way that he could never survive, and just as he was about to completely annihilate him, the Earth Dragon appeared and devoured those dismembered limbs.
But for such an Earth Dragon to have exploded and died like this…
'So he was alive.'
Did he regenerate inside the Earth Dragon's stomach?
That was the only way to see it.
As long as he lives as a human, he will find and kill him somehow.
However, being human himself, his lifespan is limited.
No, more than the issue of lifespan, it was hard to guarantee how long he could forcibly resist the natural order and remain in this world.
If he couldn't find that immortal being who had disappeared within that time, the prophecy made by the so-called prophet might come true.
If he had no children, it would be a different story, but now he had a son.
That son would have another son, and gradually those bloodlines would spread like roots.
Although the affairs of future generations are their own, leaving it entirely to them was too dangerous when dealing with an immortal being.
Then, he should make arrangements so that future generations can deal with him.
'Whoever you are, if I can't resolve this in my generation, I leave it to you.'
With that, the Heavenly Demon turned to leave this place.
But he paused for a moment and gazed intently at the black sword that was absorbing the energy of the corrupted Imoogi.
Then he brought his index finger to it, raised sword energy, and engraved characters in the middle of the blade.
Chapter 498.9
Chapter 498.9 – Side Story Extra
Meeting
A beautiful backyard with pink peach blossoms in full bloom.
The seemingly quiet and peaceful Peach Blossom Spring was filled with a roaring sound, and its enormous impact was spreading in all directions.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
Someone emerged from the rising, hazy dust.
It was the Wicked Granny, Cheol Su-ryeon.
"Huk huk!"
Her expression was not good as she exhaled rough breaths, seemingly exhausted.
Cheol Su-ryeon looked at the dusty area, then stretched out her hand, and a huge, utterly transparent hand appeared in mid-air.
At that very moment,
Schwaaaaaaaa!
A cold wave surged from within the dust, and wind pressure made of cold frost rushed in.
As the wind pressure approached, the formless claw created by Cheol Su-ryeon drew a circle to defend against it, unfolding a defensive technique.
However,
Jjeojeojeojeojeojeok!
Her formless claw was instantly frozen by the frosty cold wave, and
Kwajik!
Breaking through the frozen frosty cold wave, a silver-haired woman leaped out and tried to grab Cheol Su-ryeon with swift hand movements.
'Damn it!'
The startled Cheol Su-ryeon tried to create distance by using her lightness skill, but it was useless.
The silver-haired woman was too fast and instantly caught up to her, snatching her wrist with the Golden Lasso technique.
Ttak!
It was at that moment.
Chwaaaaaaaaaak!
Red sword energy flew through the ground, and the silver-haired woman hurriedly released Cheol Su-ryeon's wrist and did a backflip to avoid it.
"Tch."
As she was rotating, a woman with sharp features and flowing red hair flew towards her with a terrifying momentum.
Seeing her flying like a hawk, the silver-haired woman stuck out her tongue.
'Blood Demon Sword Heaven?'
"You'll pay for bullying the youngest!"
At the red-haired woman's shout, the silver-haired woman sneered and then unleashed a palm strike that turned white and emitted extreme cold.
This was the ultimate move of the Icy White Palm Technique.
The red sword energy and the white palm strike collided, creating an enormous sound of air breaking.
Kwaaaaaaaaang!
It was as if a war was breaking out, with everything around being destroyed and in chaos. Yet, there was a beautiful woman calmly watching them while drinking tea.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
Despite the roaring sounds and debris flying everywhere, all of this seemed like an everyday occurrence to her.
As she enjoyed her tea while watching them, the woman spoke.
"Ever since Su-ryeon arrived, Hye-hyang and Seol-baek seem particularly energetic. Don't you think?"
At her question, a young man standing behind her shrugged.
The young man with mysterious eyes that contained both blood-red and golden colors also seemed accustomed to this, smiling as he picked up the scabbard he had leaned against a pillar and slung it over his back.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman, no, Sima Yeong turned her head and asked,
"Are you going to see?"
"Yeah. The masters said it would be a good spectacle, so I should go check it out."
"Isn't it more that you're curious about him after such a long time?"
"That too, among other things?"
"I'd like to go with you, but it's a shame I can't cross over to that side."
At her regretful tone, the young man, no, Jin Woon-hwi smiled gently and said,
"You and the wives will be able to transcend the natural order before long."
"I hope so…"
Before she could finish her words,
A dagger shot out from Jin Woon-hwi's bosom and fluttered around like a butterfly.
"So-dam seems excited?"
"Indeed."
"Kyahahahaha. Of course! It's an outing after so long, how could I not be excited? You feel the same, right, Nam-cheon?"
"Seeing you so excited even after getting such a harsh beating last time, you're really something."
"Who got a harsh beating! I was just helping because Woon-hwi was distracted, and I almost ended up bald like before."
At the noisy chatter of the swords, Jin Woon-hwi shook his head and then said to Sima Yeong,
"It won't take too long."
"Alright. Be careful."
After giving her a light kiss on the cheek as she waved goodbye, Jin Woon-hwi's entire body began to be enveloped in a bright light.
With that, time around him stopped, and the light turned to darkness.
Schwaaaaaaa! Shuuuuuuk!
Then the space rippled, and his form was sucked into it.
Black lights spread out like the Milky Way, and after passing through a dazzling space, a world dyed in five colors unfolded before Jin Woon-hwi's eyes.
This place, which looks like the Peach Blossom Spring, is called by some the world after ascending or beyond the boundary.
A world that only those who have transcended the natural order can reach.
Jin Woon-hwi's expression hardened as he arrived here.
Jjeojeojeojeojeojeok! Gooooooo!
'!?'
This was because the sky, which had been dyed in five colors, suddenly split as if the world was being remade, and the sight of a meteor shattering appeared.
"…Woon-hwi. We should dodge first."
Jin Woon-hwi strongly agreed with So-dam's words, but it was already too late.
Just a moment ago.
Chwaaaaaaa!
Sword energies emitted by swords of ice, flame, and lightning that appeared in mid-air created hundreds and thousands of trajectories everywhere.
Amidst these incredible light beams that filled the space and seemed impossible to block, a muscular handsome man with his entire body glowing red and emitting white steam was lightly deflecting them with his fists as he moved through the gaps.
Pachachachachachachacha!
With the handsome man's punches, blue sword energy light beams were deflected, their paths bending in all directions.
Thanks to this, the paths of other light beams were also disrupted, causing blue flashes to scatter around.
Pakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
A young man with a pale white face and long hair, who had been watching this, clicked his tongue and then moved for the first time.
Ttat!
A black line appeared in mid-air.
However, the line that had been extending straight stopped midway at the muscular handsome man's chest.
Pachichichichichichik!
The unified power that had stopped midway couldn't pierce through the blackened muscle.
At this, the pale-faced young man opened his mouth as if truly surprised.
"What impressive muscles."
"Not bad yourself. That sword of yours, too."
Pssssss!
The muscular handsome man had activated his muscles to block the single sword strike converging on one point and was about to strike down with his back.
However, the force trying to pierce his chest was so strong that his two arms couldn't move.
'This won't do.'
Thinking he needed to open his muscles to another level, the handsome man exerted force on his body.
Then the blackened chest muscles began to wriggle, trying to change once again.
Sensing something was amiss, the pale-faced young man tried to imbue the sword stuck in the chest with Heavenly Demon Energy to transform it into the Supreme Heavenly Demonic Sword that could cut anything.
Hmchit!
Could he have sensed this?
The muscular handsome man, who was about to open his muscles to an even higher level, instantly created distance with a tense look in his eyes.
Paaaaaaaaak!
The handsome man, who had instantly created a distance of about thirty jang, exerted force on the soles of his feet, then
Kwaaaaaaaaang!
He kicked the air in the void.
Space shook and rippled like waves, creating vibrations.
Due to this aftermath, the pale-faced young man was about to be swept back by the spatial waves.
Papapapapapapapapapang!
Not missing this chance, the muscular handsome man kicked off various points in space, flying at a speed invisible to the naked eye, trying to trap the pale-faced young man within the spatial ripples.
It was at that very moment.
As the pale-faced young man swung his sword, black light cut through the void, and the space that had been rippling like waves was sliced apart.
Chwaaaaaaaaaak!
But it didn't end there.
"Let's do this properly."
The young man raised his arm and made a gesture as if grasping something.
Then the sky filled with five colors split apart, revealing a black universe.
In that state, the young man pulled his clenched fist.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
Fragments of shattered meteors could be seen flying from the black universe.
Seeing this, the muscular handsome man licked his lips and then clenched both fists and brought them to his waist.
Then the ground shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
Kuuuuuuuuuu!
'Shatter!'
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaang!
As the muscular handsome man exerted force on his two feet and pressed down hard on the ground, the earth split, the ground caved in for hundreds of jang, and countless shattered fragments shot upwards along with it.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
'Not bad. Nano, assist me.'
["Activating computational functions at maximum capacity. Enabling remote control of meteor fragments."]
Augmented reality unfolded in the young man's eyes, generating numerous numbers and targets.
Just as the fragments shooting up from the ground and the meteor fragments were about to collide,
Ssssssss!
At that moment, a coincidental event occurred.
Someone appeared, tearing through space right in the middle of it all.
'Who?'
This was the phenomenon of someone crossing over by riding the natural order.
Both men sensed this simultaneously, but their catastrophe-level attacks were already beyond the point where they could be stopped midway.
At that moment, the suddenly appeared person hurriedly drew the sword on his back and raised it upwards, and lightning began to surge from all directions.
Pachichichichichichichik!
The lightning, drawing blue light beams, was on an enormous scale, reaching up to a hundred jang.
The lightning that surged like this gathered into the sword in an instant.
As the person who had wrapped the lightning around the sword was about to create a whirlwind with the lightning sword while kicking off the air, it happened.
Ssssssss!
Then something unexpected by anyone occurred.
The torn sky returned to its original five-colored state as if nothing had happened, and the fragments of the shattered earth that had been shooting upwards scattered like dust and disappeared.
The pale-faced young man and the muscular handsome man, who had been about to clash while fully exerting their abilities, couldn't hide their bewilderment.
It was beyond imagination to instantly nullify a power that could shake heaven and earth.
At this, the two simultaneously flew towards and landed near this incredible being who had appeared between them.
Ttak! Chak!
"That's truly amazing."
"Was that just now your doing?"
As the two asked simultaneously, the person holding the sword still affected by lightning, no, Jin Woon-hwi, opened his mouth again as if embarrassed.
"…I'm sorry for making you misunderstand, but this wasn't my doing."
"It wasn't you?"
At the young man's question, Jin Woon-hwi stared at him intently and said,
This face looks very familiar.
It's extremely familiar.
"You… are quite unique."
"What?"
"Your ominous energy and face are very similar to someone I know."
"Someone?"
"Have you perhaps heard the name Heavenly Demon?"
At Jin Woon-hwi's words, the pale-faced young man's eyes widened.
At that moment, someone flew to where they were and shouted.
"Did you just say Heavenly Demon?"
That someone was the Golden Nine-Tailed Fox, a blonde beauty beyond compare.
She had been watching from afar and flew over in a hurry upon hearing the words "Heavenly Demon."
"…A demon?"
Jin Woon-hwi frowned and muttered as soon as he saw her, immediately realizing she wasn't human.
At this, the Golden Nine-Tailed Fox shouted angrily.
"Just answer the question! Do you know about the Heavenly Demon, I mean, the 1st generation Heavenly Demon, not you here?"
"1st generation Heavenly Demon?"
"Yes. This Cheon Yeo-woon here is called the 2nd generation Heavenly Demon."
"2nd generation Heavenly Demon?"
As Jin Woon-hwi looked at him with those words, the pale-faced young man, no, Cheon Yeo-woon, nodded and answered.
"I am Cheon Yeo-woon, the 2nd generation Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult."
"Cheon Yeo-woon? If you're of the Cheon family and inherited the title of 2nd generation Heavenly Demon, you must be a descendant of the one I know."
"You. Do you know him?"
"Well. I certainly know of him, but it's hard to explain as it seems somewhat indirect rather than a direct connection."
"What?"
As Cheon Yeo-woon made an expression of 'What on earth are you talking about?', the Golden Nine-Tailed Fox spoke in an annoyed voice, as if she had come up empty-handed.
"This human. It doesn't seem like he really knows anything."
At their conversation, Jin Woon-hwi shrugged and then looked at the muscular handsome man and said,
"But why is your body like that…"
"Just a moment."
Ssssssss!
Before he could even ask, the muscular man's body, which had been swollen and turned black, gradually subsided and then turned red-hot, emitting steam.
Seeing this, Jin Woon-hwi asked with widened eyes.
"True Blood Golden Body?"
At those words, the muscular handsome man tilted his head and opened his mouth.
"True Blood Golden Body? Do you perhaps know Hae Mu-ah?"
"Hae Mu-ah? Hae Mu-ah… Wait, if it's Hae Mu-ah, I know him as Master Hae Ak-cheon's ancestor, but how do you know that name?"
"He's my younger cousin."
"Younger cousin? Could you be Yoo Moo-mu, who was called the true predecessor of the True Blood Golden Body?"
"Oh? You know my name. Was I that famous?"
The muscular man, Yoo Moo-mu, scratched his head as if embarrassed. Then Yoo Moo-mu clapped his hands as if suddenly realizing something and said,
"But you said just now that it wasn't you who did that? Then who on earth did it?"
At his question, everyone's expressions became strange.
Jin Woon-hwi had also been wondering about the sudden disappearance of the two people's enormous powers that he had almost been caught up in.
Even for himself, who had reached the highest realm of Heaven Evasion and the immortal way, it would have been difficult to instantly nullify two immense powers reaching the level of As-You-Wish.
That's why he had tried to protect his body with Heaven Evasion and avoid it rather than confronting this power.
But it was at that moment.
"Yoo Moo-mu, ancestor of Yoo Moo-jin, Jin Woon-hwi, ancestor of Jin Ye-rin, Cheon Yeo-woon, my descendant… Fate is truly unpredictable."
At the voice echoing in their ears, the 2nd generation Heavenly Demon Cheon Yeo-woon's pupils trembled.
The Golden Nine-Tailed Fox beside him was so surprised that her eyes reddened and even welled up with tears.
"Heavenly Demon…"
To think she would finally hear the voice she had longed to hear for so long.
Where on earth is he?
She couldn't pinpoint his location because only his voice echoed in their ears.
Then,
Hmchit!
They all suddenly turned their heads towards somewhere.
Though it was hundreds of jang away, they could clearly see burning eyes with golden light.
Even more surprising was that an enormous energy that seemed capable of overturning the earth was spreading from this being.
The Golden Nine-Tailed Fox, who had been staring intently at this, opened her mouth.
"The Fiery Eyes of Golden Gaze. It's been a long time since I've seen those. You monster monkey."
"Monster monkey?"
At Cheon Yeo-woon's question, Jin Woon-hwi answered.
"The worst and strongest Imaemangyang, born when all the energy of heaven and earth gathered in a stone at the top of Mount Huaguo. The Railing Monkey King."
At these words, a look of competitive spirit and interest flashed in Cheon Yeo-woon's eyes.
He had heard about this from the Golden Nine-Tailed Fox.
A legendary and mythical being called unmatched in the mortal world, a Imaemangyang born from the gathering of heaven and earth's energy.
He had wanted to meet him at least once.
So he was about to step forward, but
Swick!
Jin Woon-hwi reached out his hand to stop him.
When Cheon Yeo-woon looked puzzled at this, Jin Woon-hwi smiled and said,
"Are you trying to steal your ancestor's pleasure?"
"Ancestor… Ah!"
Gooooooooooo!
At that moment, someone in a black robe was descending from the sky towards the Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze Railing Monkey King.
Although it was a back view, Cheon Yeo-woon's lips curled up at the enormous majesty and overwhelming strength that could be felt.
'Finally, I get to meet you, Ancestor.'
