Chapter 165. Sure, Let's Fight
“Surely…….”
Cheon U-jin could hardly come to his senses.
Cheol Yu-ra’s words…… What would the words spoken by the existence dominating her body mean?
First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong.
The Supreme Ruler of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult who reigned while repeating reincarnation upon reincarnation for hundreds of years.
To be exact, the one who was uniquely called the Heavenly Demon until he was executed by the Iron-Blooded Demonic God.
He was speaking through Cheol Yu-ra’s body now.
“Apostates, foolish and pitiful things fallen into the swamp of disbelief.”
Dokgo Seong spoke while looking down at Cheon U-jin’s group.
“While This Seat is healthy like this, how can you say you follow a wench who is merely a human.”
“Th-That is.”
Right then.
“Where do you spout such nonsense!”
Cheol Ja-ryang shouted furiously.
“Do you think you will be safe after dominating my daughter’s body! I don’t care who you are! If you don’t release my daughter’s body, the price will be…….”
Slide, Dokgo Seong looked back at Cheol Ja-ryang.
“A guy not worth living.”
“Keueuk!”
“Die.”
Dokgo Seong ordered Cheol Ja-ryang.
And that order was no exaggeration to say it was absolute.
“Keok, Keoheok!”
Cheol Ja-ryang suddenly grasped his own neck with both hands.
There was no mercy in Cheol Ja-ryang’s two hands grasping his own neck.
With all his might, he even drew up demonic qi to add strength to his grip.
“Clan Head Cheol!”
“Clan Head!”
Cheon U-jin and Wi Mu-rin shouted urgently toward such Cheol Ja-ryang, but it was useless.
Sssss!
From Cheol Ja-ryang’s grip, the Frigid Iron Clan’s unique demonic qi…… the Extreme Yin Cold Qi encroached around his neck.
Crack, Craaack!
White frost formed on the skin, and creepy sounds rang out as the muscles inside froze.
Nevertheless, Cheol Ja-ryang did not stop.
And the ending was…….
Crunch!
Cheol Ja-ryang’s neck shattered into pieces.
The neck area, frozen solid by the cold qi, could not withstand the strength of the grip and ended up breaking off.
Thud, roll roll…….
Cheol Ja-ryang’s head rolled on the floor.
Flop, the headless corpse collapsed.
“……!”
Cheon U-jin and Wi Mu-rin could not continue their words seeing Cheol Ja-ryang’s death.
It was a perfect suicide by heteronomy.
To think the Head of the Frigid Iron Clan would take his own life at that one word to die…….
Cheon U-jin and Wi Mu-rin knew too well why Cheol Ja-ryang took his own life.
Heavenly Demon Command.
The Heavenly Demon’s unique authority that only those who read the Heavenly Demon Scripture and learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi could wield.
It must be because of the power symbolizing the Heavenly Demon, which dominates and controls demons with the power of spirit speech.
“How about you bastards.”
Dokgo Seong asked Cheon U-jin and Wi Mu-rin.
“Do you bastards also want to die like that foolish thing? Or will you act like This Seat’s kin.”
“…….”
Cheon U-jin and Wi Mu-rin could not answer easily.
Seeing even Cheol Ja-ryang unable to disobey the Heavenly Demon Command’s order and taking his own life, it was certainly not easy to show spirit.
Why?
Because they would die if they disobeyed.
“Answer.”
Dokgo Seong asked Cheon U-jin and Wi Mu-rin again.
“……Impossible talk.”
Cheon U-jin opened his mouth with difficulty, as if chewing it out.
“I am Cheon U-jin. His first disciple, the First Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, and also the eldest son of the Demonic Dao Heavenly Family. My Liege is only him, and no one can make me kneel.”
“E-Eldest Senior Brother!”
Wi Mu-rin shouted in surprise, but Cheon U-jin did not care.
Rather, he exerted maximum willpower he could display with all his might and slowly raised his body.
“Right, kill if you will. But you also won’t be safe.”
Cheon U-jin eventually escaped from the Heavenly Demon Command’s control and took a starting stance.
“Eldest Senior Brotheeeeer!”
Wi Mu-rin shouted as if screaming, but Cheon U-jin had not a shred of hesitation.
Death?
To the proud First Young Master of the Great Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, death could not be an object of fear.
As an orthodox demonic practitioner who inherited the blood of the prestigious Demonic Dao Heavenly Family, and as the disciple chosen first by the Iron-Blooded Demonic God, losing spirit in front of death was an unimaginable thing.
Even if the opponent was the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong.
“Good.”
A smile rose on Dokgo Seong’s lips.
“That irreverence and foolishness deserve a hundred deaths, but the loyalty and courage are commendable.”
“……?”
“There will be This Seat’s second coming in a not so distant day. Let’s see if you dare oppose This Seat even then.”
Dokgo Seong said so, then raised one hand and exerted the Heavenly Demon Command’s authority.
“Keok, Keoheok!”
Cheon U-jin vomited blood, crushed by the absolute authority.
He succeeded in regaining control over his body with the power of will and resisting, but anything beyond that was impossible.
The reason was simple.
It was close to impossible for a demonic practitioner who learned demonic arts to resist the Heavenly Demon Command.
Because it was an authority exerting absolute control over existences possessing demonic qi…….
“I will look forward to it. Whether you bastards will follow Yi Cheong-ha, that wicked wench, even after This Seat’s second coming is achieved.”
Dokgo Seong said so, then slid through the air and left the cave.
Movement art that was not lacking even if called Void Flight beyond Void-Treading Step…… The movement of the one who reached the highest realm throughout all ages was extraordinary like that.
***
Jin Cheon moved his steps immediately as soon as he felt the situation inside the cave was unusual.
“Where!”
“Apostate! Die!”
Several Demonic Devil Cult martial artists rushed toward Jin Cheon, but it was just useless.
Jin Cheon cut them down as soon as he saw them and continued to advance.
‘Damn it!’
Jin Cheon could know how serious the current situation was without seeing it with his eyes.
The intense demonic qi spewing out from inside that cave was certainly not that of an ordinary human.
‘Please let it not be.’
Jin Cheon prayed that his uneasy premonition would not come true.
However, the situation was rushing to the worst, more than expected.
‘Clan Head Cheol…… died.’
Jin Cheon, who grasped Cheol Ja-ryang’s death through the demonic qi detection ability, had his face harden stiffly.
The fact that Cheol Ja-ryang, the Head of the Frigid Iron Clan, one of the Six Demonic Families, and one of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult’s Elders, died so futilely like this was proof that the situation was that serious.
‘I should have just gone directly…….’
Right then.
Slide…….
Jin Cheon ran right into Cheol Yu-ra who came out of the cave.
“……You are.”
Jin Cheon recognized at once that Cheol Yu-ra was not the person he knew.
The existence taking the form of Cheol Yu-ra did not possess the unique demonic qi she had.
The demonic qi he possessed was very dangerous and eerie, close to pure demonic nature.
If he had to pick the most similar thing…….
‘Heavenly Demon Divine Qi!’
Jin Cheon intuitively sensed the identity of the existence dominating Cheol Yu-ra’s body.
Only three people under the heavens possessed the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
The Iron-Blooded Demonic God, Jin Cheon, and the remaining one was…….
“……Dokgo Seong.”
The name of the First Heavenly Demon flowed from Jin Cheon’s mouth.
Jin Cheon’s fate…… He came to encounter the existence he must punish by chance in an unexpected place.
“Interesting.”
A voice mixed with man and woman flowed from Dokgo Seong’s mouth.
Dokgo Seong’s two eyes looking at Jin Cheon shone with deep purple.
“A person born with the Heavenly Demon’s Physique…….”
As expected of the First Heavenly Demon, Dokgo Seong accurately recognized that constitution just by scanning Jin Cheon.
Just as Jin Cheon recognized Dokgo Seong who dominated Cheol Yu-ra’s body, he also pierced through Jin Cheon’s essence.
“Is it Providence’s will, or a mistake.”
Dokgo Seong scrutinized Jin Cheon as if looking at something amazing, and muttered to himself.
To him, Jin Cheon’s existence seemed to be accepted as some kind of topic beyond simple interest.
“Yi Cheong-ha, that wench kept an interesting thing by her side. To think, a brat born with the Heavenly Demon’s Physique…….”
“What bullshit is that?”
Jin Cheon spoke in a somewhat angry tone.
To dare mention the Iron-Blooded Demonic God’s name in front of him, even if the opponent was Dokgo Seong, it was unforgivable.
“Fun, fun.”
Dokgo Seong was relaxed as if he didn’t care about Jin Cheon’s growling at all.
“Will, mistake, arrangement. Only Providence would know what those inner thoughts are. But whatever that intention is, eventually it will be achieved according to This Seat’s will.”
“Stop spouting bullshit.”
“A pitiful soul.”
Dokgo Seong sneered at Jin Cheon.
“Cursed birth…… To be born with a body that isn’t his. A harsh fate.”
“What……?”
“Your body will be the vessel to contain This Seat, and your soul that lost its place will wander the nine springs forever and suffer.”
“……!”
“Your body, This Seat will take it.”
Dokgo Seong’s declaration was truly extraordinary.
Just as he dominated Cheol Yu-ra’s body, he openly revealed his intention to dominate the body of Jin Cheon, the Heavenly Demon’s Physique.
“This Seat’s second coming will be completed with your body.”
At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi’s demonic qi burst out from Dokgo Seong’s body and began to encroach on the surrounding area.
“Kuk, Keueuk!”
“Eueueueuk!”
The martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult could not resist such Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi.
The Blood Qilin and Yeom Bi, as well as Danmok Cheong and the Seventh Divine Demon Squad, and even the Asura Blood Sword Unit could do nothing, crushed by Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi.
It was a passage where one could know how absolute an influence the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi’s demonic qi had on demonic practitioners, and how terrifying the Heavenly Demon Command’s dominance was.
Only one person.
Only Jin Cheon could confront Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi.
‘Enormous.’
Jin Cheon was astonished by Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi and the Heavenly Demon Command’s power.
To think he could completely dominate the surrounding area and crush demonic practitioners simply by spewing out demonic qi…….
However, such a thing wasn't something only Dokgo Seong could do.
Whooooooooosh!
Jin Cheon opened his Lower Dantian and spewed out the demonic qi he possessed.
And such Jin Cheon’s demonic qi gradually pushed away Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi and built his own unique domain.
Heavenly Demon Divine Qi versus Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
Heavenly Demon Command versus Heavenly Demon Command.
Jin Cheon and Dokgo Seong confronted each other using the same ability.
As they used the exact same demonic qi and the exact same Heavenly Demon Command authority, the confrontation between Jin Cheon and Dokgo Seong was truly equal and taut.
‘Not easy.’
Jin Cheon felt that his demonic qi and Heavenly Demon Command were pushed back compared to Dokgo Seong’s.
Although he wasn't overwhelmed, it was an undeniable fact that Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi and Heavenly Demon Command were more powerful than Jin Cheon’s.
If he was at this level even when it wasn't complete and he merely possessed Cheol Yu-ra’s body, he dared not even imagine how powerful he would have been in the past.
Indeed, in the past, he was a monster among monsters who could barely be punished only when the core masters of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance and Jin Cheon’s master, the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior, rushed in, led by the Iron-Blooded Demonic God.
Excluding the Iron-Blooded Demonic God who already rose to the rank of god, the figure closest to a Demonic God was Dokgo Seong…….
But even so, there was absolutely no reason for Jin Cheon to be intimidated.
Even if pushed back in demonic qi and Heavenly Demon Command, Jin Cheon did not receive any influence from Dokgo Seong’s authority as a Heavenly Demon’s Physique who learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
That meant, unlike the demonic practitioners who couldn’t even resist, at least an equal fight was possible.
If so…….
Clang!
Jin Cheon’s sword tip aimed at Dokgo Seong.
“Sure, let’s fight.”
Jin Cheon had no intention of backing down, nor any intention of having his body taken like this.
