Chapter 164. Did You Ask Who This Seat Is?
Cheon U-jin advanced unhesitatingly toward the cave.
“You dirty traitor bastards, where do you think this is!”
“Where do you think you’re going, chasing after that vicious wench Yi Cheong-ha!”
As soon as the martial artists of the Demonic Devil Cult guarding the front of the cave discovered Cheon U-jin’s group, they shouted furiously and vomited anger.
It was pure hatred, most fitting for the meaning of an enemy with whom one cannot live under the same sky.
It was understandable, as the current Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Demonic Devil Cult had completely different aims.
The current Heavenly Demon Divine Cult was a group that worshipped the Iron-Blooded Demonic God, who had newly ascended to the position of Heavenly Demon, and was changing by agreeing with his reforms.
Therefore, it had long since transformed into a group completely different from the existing tenet of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
Perhaps it was no exaggeration to say that it had changed into a form similar to the Sajubang, that is, the appearance of the early Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
Conversely, the Demonic Devil Cult was close to a fanatic group that thoroughly missed the past Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and worshipped the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong as the only god.
To them, Dokgo Seong was the true Only God and the object of absolute faith.
Therefore, the believers of the Demonic Devil Cult did not choose any means or methods if it was for Dokgo Seong.
The fact that they were radical enough to not hesitate even in human sacrifice using the vital blood of virgin boys and girls was because their faith in Dokgo Seong was fanatical beyond blind faith.
Since they were such people, the current Heavenly Demon Divine Cult was merely apostates who betrayed the Only God to them.
Also, they could not tolerate even a speck of following the Iron-Blooded Demonic God, who was merely a human, not the Only God Dokgo Seong.
Since their positions were so different, it was perfectly natural for the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Demonic Devil Cult to regard each other as enemies with whom one cannot live under the same sky.
It was so bad that the relationship between the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Demonic Devil Cult was much worse than the relationship between the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, who had fought for hundreds of years.
As such, the fight that broke out between the martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Demonic Devil Cult martial artists was truly terrible beyond description.
Cheon U-jin and the First Divine Demon Squad, Cheol Ja-ryang, and the Frigid Iron Clan’s elite Cold Ice Squad did not just kill the Demonic Devil Cult martial artists.
They gave the Demonic Devil Cult martial artists the most horrific deaths possible, such as smashing their heads, cutting their bodies into four pieces, and cutting off their limbs.
Bang!
Cheon U-jin’s single fist exploded on the chest of a Demonic Devil Cult martial artist.
The scene that unfolded afterwards was truly absurd.
The Demonic Devil Cult martial artist’s upper body did not just fly away but exploded into pieces, meeting a truly horrific death.
Because the destructive power contained in Cheon U-jin’s single fist harbored strong destructive power enough to collapse even Mount Tai, the human body and protective powerful qi could not withstand it at all.
“Stop them!”
“Protect the altar!”
Nevertheless, the Demonic Devil Cult martial artists gritted their teeth and rushed in aggressively, trying to stop the entry of Cheon U-jin’s group.
It was an appearance of not even sparing their lives as if they would stop the entry into the cave no matter what.
Indeed, for them, death was merely another beginning.
According to the doctrine of the Demonic Devil Cult, if Dokgo Seong resurrected, he promised them eternal life.
“Enter the cave!”
“As you command!”
Cheon U-jin commanded his independent guard unit, the First Divine Demon Squad, like that.
The First Divine Demon Squad and the vassals of the Demonic Dao Heavenly Family blocked the flocking Demonic Devil Cult martial artists.
That was the same for the Cold Ice Squad, the elite of the Frigid Iron Clan.
Cheol Ja-ryang commanded the Cold Ice Squad to block the Demonic Devil Cult martial artists, and entered the cave with Cheon U-jin.
And the Third Young Master Wi Mu-rin chased closely behind.
Following Jin Cheon’s prediction that some kind of grand art was proceeding inside the cave, it was out of judgment that a sorcerer might be needed.
Thus, Cheon U-jin, Cheol Ja-ryang, and Wi Mu-rin stepped into the cave where Cheol Yu-ra was presumed to be, with the help of their allies.
***
Inside the cave, an incantation whose meaning could not be understood at all was echoing.
Though they didn't know for sure, it was clear that the sorcerers of the Demonic Devil Cult were constantly chanting spells and using sorcery to complete some kind of grand art.
Cheon U-jin, Cheol Ja-ryang, and Wi Mu-rin exerted their movement arts and arrived at the huge hollow located deep inside the cave at maximum speed.
There, three Demonic Devil Cult sorcerers were chanting spells, and a person wearing a dark red dharma robe was waiting for Cheon U-jin’s group.
Also, on the altar located in the center, Cheol Yu-ra was lying quietly with her eyes closed.
Seeing Cheol Yu-ra’s hair disheveled and fluttering, there seemed to be no room for doubt that Jin Cheon’s prediction was correct.
“Apostates. Do you dare disturb the sacred ritual.”
The person wearing the dark red dharma robe let out a voice mixed with anger.
“Th-That person is.”
The Frigid Iron Clan’s Head Cheol Ja-ryang recognized the person wearing the dharma robe and was startled.
Hell Demonic King Ak Pung-gae.
He was a figure who was the Left Guardian of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult in the past and left the Cult in opposition to the Iron-Blooded Demonic God’s seizure of power.
“Cheol Clan bastard. Do you still serve and collaborate with the likes of Yi Cheong-ha.”
Ak Pung-gae glared at Cheol Ja-ryang with contemptuous eyes.
“Dogs of Yi Cheong-ha. Truly foolish. How could you betray the true Only God and stick to a wench who is merely a human.”
“How dare you.”
Cheon U-jin did not hold back.
“You insult him while following the ghost of the old era. Even death will not be able to pay that price.”
Cheon U-jin threw his body.
“A mere dog of Yi Cheong-ha! How will you pay for the sin of denying the Only God!”
Ak Pung-gae also threw his body toward Cheon U-jin.
“I will smash that snout first! I will make you pay the price for touching my daughter!”
Cheol Ja-ryang rushed at the sorcerers chanting spells.
“Aaaack!”
“Ack!”
“Keoheok!”
The time it took for Cheol Ja-ryang to kill the sorcerers did not even take a moment.
If one becomes the Head of the Frigid Iron Clan, it is usually possible to kill tolerable sorcerers in the blink of an eye.
Much more, if the distance was close, there was no need to say two words.
“I will check her.”
While Wi Mu-rin urgently approached Cheol Yu-ra and checked her condition.
Boom, Baang!
The fight between Cheon U-jin and Ak Pung-gae was far beyond the level that could be called fierce.
Since Ak Pung-gae was a figure who was the Left Guardian of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult during the past Righteous-Demonic War, it went without saying that his martial arts skills were excellent.
However, Cheon U-jin was beyond that.
He wasn't evaluated as the candidate for the next Young Cult Leader and the person who would succeed the Iron-Blooded Demonic God and become the Cult Leader in the distant future for nothing.
Wasn't Cheon U-jin the person who took charge of resolving the dispute between the Potala Palace located in the Western Regions beyond the distant Southern Tianshan Road and the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, and defeated countless masters?
Cheon U-jin’s strength, having received not only a good bloodline but also natural talent and the Iron-Blooded Demonic God’s teachings, had already risen to a level to discuss the world.
Even if he was a high-ranking figure of the Demonic Devil Cult and the former Left Guardian of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, it was insufficient to withstand Cheon U-jin’s overwhelming martial power.
Puck!
Cheon U-jin’s fist pierced the exact center of Ak Pung-gae’s chest, and his hand grasped the heart.
“Kk, Kkeueueueueueueok!!!”
A terrible groan full of pain flowed from Ak Pung-gae’s mouth.
“This is the price for daring to kidnap his disciple, my Junior Sister.”
Cheon U-jin said to Ak Pung-gae with a cold voice.
“Keuheuk…… Keuhehehehe…….”
Even while dying, Ak Pung-gae spilled a fishy smile and mocked Cheon U-jin.
“Heavenly Demon's Kin, life as fleeting as grass…… The Heavenly Demon’s second coming, ten thousand demons bow in submission…… Eventually gain eternal life…….”
Cheon U-jin did not leave Ak Pung-gae to babble any further.
Puck!
Cheon U-jin, who tore out Ak Pung-gae’s heart, struck down his head.
Ak Pung-gae’s head exploded into pieces, and his corpse collapsed like a rotten sheaf of rice.
“Ridiculous. While he reigns as the Heavenly Demon, to talk about the ghost of the past.”
Cheon U-jin sneered and turned around.
There, Wi Mu-rin was checking Cheol Yu-ra’s condition, and Cheol Ja-ryang was stamping his feet, not knowing what to do.
“Junior Sister’s condition.”
“I do not know well.”
Wi Mu-rin answered Cheon U-jin’s question.
“You don’t know well? Is her body greatly injured perhaps?”
“That is not it, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Wi Mu-rin shook his head.
“Senior Sister’s physical condition is perfect. No major external injuries, and even less internal injuries. Her qi and blood are stable, and her pulse is extremely normal.”
“Yet you mean you don’t know well?”
“It seems to be due to the grand art that was proceeding until just a moment ago, but a sorcery I do not know…….”
Right then.
Slide.
Cheol Yu-ra floated up while lying down.
***
“……!”
Cheon U-jin, Cheol Ja-ryang, and Wi Mu-rin were startled by this unbelievable sight.
Because they had never heard a story that a person who lost consciousness and was lying down could float up by themselves.
But that was merely the beginning.
Whooooooooosh!
Truly terrifying, suffocatingly intense demonic qi spewed out incessantly from Cheol Yu-ra.
The demonic qi was so powerful that even Cheon U-jin’s group couldn’t withstand it and had to urgently back away.
“Wh-What is this……!”
Cheon U-jin had no choice but to doubt his eyes.
Cheol Yu-ra was looking down at them while floating in the air before they knew it.
And her two eyes were shining with deep purple color and spewing out blue ghost fire.
Her hair fluttered dangerously like tentacles.
“Foolish ones, kneel. You bastards do not dare have the qualification to look straight at This Seat.”
Cheol Yu-ra’s voice saying so was bizarre, as if a man’s and a woman’s were mixed.
“Who are you.”
Cheon U-jin instinctively sensed that the owner of that voice was not Cheol Yu-ra and asked for the identity.
However, Cheol Yu-ra, no, the existence dominating her body, seemed to have absolutely no intention of answering Cheon U-jin’s question.
“This Seat has never permitted questions to the likes of you bastards. So kneel. What is permitted to you bastards is only obedience.”
“Speaking nonsense…… Heuk!”
Cheon U-jin swallowed a gasp.
Tremble!
His body, his body was trembling like an aspen tree.
That wasn’t all.
“Kuk, Keueuk!”
Regardless of his will, his limbs moved on their own and his body was slowly taking a low posture.
As if the words of the existence dominating Cheol Yu-ra’s body contained an irresistible authority of reigning…….
“Such evil arts…… Keueuk!”
“Eueueuk!”
“M-My body won’t listen…… Heueuk!”
Cheon U-jin, Cheol Ja-ryang, and Wi Mu-rin tried to resist with all their might, but it was useless.
The control over their bodies had already passed to the one dominating Cheol Yu-ra’s body long ago.
Thump, Thump, Thump!
Cheon U-jin, Cheol Ja-ryang, and Wi Mu-rin’s knees hit the floor.
‘N-No way!’
Cheon U-jin was astonished.
Because he never dreamed that there would be an existence that could make him kneel simply with a voice, with that will alone.
If that was possible, only one person, the Iron-Blooded Demonic God, would be the only one…….
“Did you ask who This Seat is?”
Cheol Yu-ra opened her mouth while looking down at Cheon U-jin’s group with haughty and terrifying eyes.
“This Seat is the ancestor of demons, and as the one reigning over ten thousand demons, I am your eternal Only God.”
“……!”
“Look, foolish ones. The true Heavenly Demon is here.”
First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong.
It was the identity of the one dominating Cheol Yu-ra’s body.
