Chapter 170. I Put Everything in This Strike
The Iron-Blooded Demonic God said.
Jin Cheon’s master Azure Heaven Divine Warrior’s martial prowess is much more underestimated than the fact.
During the past Righteous-Demonic War, the reason they could defeat the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong was solely thanks to the joint attack of the Iron-Blooded Demonic God and the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior.
So the Iron-Blooded Demonic God recommended Jin Cheon to learn not only the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi but also his master Azure Heaven Divine Warrior’s unique martial art, the Oppression Suppression True Qi.
The Iron-Blooded Demonic God’s thought was that if he could properly understand and learn the Oppression Suppression True Qi, he could reach the realm of invincibility by combining it with the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
According to the Iron-Blooded Demonic God’s explanation, the Oppression Suppression True Qi was a martial art optimized for dealing with enemies stronger than oneself.
Since it was a martial art aiming to weaken an enemy stronger than oneself and eventually press them down, it would be truly perfect in the current situation.
The enemy in front was one of the fragments of the First Heavenly Demon, in a state activating the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor.
Since the opponent was who he was, for Jin Cheon who couldn't use the Heavenly Demon Sword Art and Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art, his master Azure Heaven Divine Warrior’s unique martial arts, the Flying Heaven Sword Art and Oppression Suppression True Qi, would be suitable.
‘Let’s try.’
Jin Cheon momentarily retreated from Dokgo Seong and switched the demonic qi he possessed not to Heavenly Demon Divine Qi but to Oppression Suppression True Qi.
Zzzzt!
Pain was felt from the Lower Dantian located in the lower abdomen.
That was perfectly natural since side effects follow when unfolding a martial art that should be unfolded using pure internal energy using demonic qi.
‘Endure.’
Jin Cheon gritted his teeth and continued to operate the Oppression Suppression True Qi.
This much pain was nothing.
How much torture and biological experimentation did he suffer in the Demonic Prison before returning to the past, experiencing hellish pain?
This much pain was nothing.
Zzzzzzzzt!
Pain spread not only to the Lower Dantian but also to the whole body’s blood vessels as if tens of thousands of needles were piercing inside the body.
Nevertheless, Jin Cheon did not stop the operation of the Oppression Suppression True Qi.
Pain?
Side effects?
Or Qi Deviation?
Such things didn't matter.
The Heavenly Demon’s Physique was Diamond Indestructible Body in itself, and a body exerting abnormal and mysterious regenerative power like an immortal.
Moreover, even the best treasured object under heaven, the Nine-headed Dragon Robe, helped recovery, so getting internal injuries didn't matter.
If he could display mental strength to endure the pain, he would be able to sufficiently use the Oppression Suppression True Qi.
Sssss!
Black fog spewed out from Jin Cheon.
“That martial art is……!”
Dokgo Seong’s eyes were dyed with astonishment.
As he had experience fighting the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior in the past, he recognized the Oppression Suppression True Qi at a glance.
Oppression Suppression True Qi, First Form.
Sealing Acupoints and Locking Meridians.
It was a martial art that spewed out true qi to pressure the enemy’s major acupoints and cut off the flow of the whole body’s meridians.
“Try resisting with all your might.”
Jin Cheon, engulfed in black fog, pounced on Dokgo Seong.
“Keueuk!”
Dokgo Seong could not properly respond to the Flying Heaven Sword Art Jin Cheon was unfolding.
Due to the black fog surrounding Jin Cheon, the flow of demonic qi was cut off strand by strand, so he couldn't unfold proper internal martial arts.
And Jin Cheon did not miss that opportunity.
‘Close combat rather than sword.’
Jin Cheon let go of the sword.
Currently, Jin Cheon’s goal was to subdue Dokgo Seong, not to kill him.
If he killed Dokgo Seong like this, Cheol Yu-ra’s soul without a body would never return to the human world, so subdue through fist and leg rather than sword was not a choice but a necessity.
Clench!
Jin Cheon clenched two fists and poured close combat arts toward Dokgo Seong.
Thud, thud thud!
Dozens of exchanges went back and forth in the blink of an eye.
Dokgo Seong showed skill and concentration to block Jin Cheon’s offensive and even counterattack while struggling under the influence of Sealing Acupoints and Locking Meridians.
Thinking that his condition was terrible, it was to the point where the thought that he was indeed the First Heavenly Demon came naturally.
However, a limit came even to such Dokgo Seong…….
‘Now.’
Jin Cheon’s fist wrapped in a black ring struck the exact center of Dokgo Seong’s chest.
Baaang!
With an explosion sound, Dokgo Seong fell far away with a whoosh.
And…….
Slide, the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor was released, and Dokgo Seong’s appearance changed.
Oppression Suppression True Qi, Second Form.
Heavenly Heavy Extinction Qi.
It was a technique that went beyond simply interfering with the enemy’s true qi flow to seal the unique energy.
This was digging into the only weakness of the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi, a martial art that gains stronger power by artificially demonifying.
If hit by Heavenly Heavy Extinction Qi, not only is demonification released, but one cannot demonify again for a certain period, so it was virtually no different from being disarmed.
In other words, the Oppression Suppression True Qi was indeed the natural enemy of the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi, the unique martial art of the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong and so-called Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
***
‘Done.’
Jin Cheon sensed that he grasped the victory and spurred his offensive.
Dokgo Seong, whose demonification, that is, Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor, was released, was virtually no different from Jin Cheon’s prey in itself.
Wasn't his body collapsing anyway, exhausted to the limit, and even the Water Killing Ghost Powder effect maximized?
‘Subdue him riding the momentum.’
With such thought, Jin Cheon pounced on Dokgo Seong and poured a fierce attack on him.
Thud, thududududududududududud!
For a fleeting moment, Jin Cheon’s fist and leg ravaged Dokgo Seong’s whole body.
“Kuaaaaaaaaack!”
Finally, a scream burst from Dokgo Seong’s, the First Heavenly Demon’s mouth.
Although he had spilled groans before, he had never screamed even once, but he ended up losing control of his body before the indiscriminate violence Jin Cheon wielded.
Crunch!
Finally, Jin Cheon’s grip twisted Dokgo Seong’s neck.
“Keok, Keoheok!”
“Now, just die already.”
“Keoheok!”
Dokgo Seong struggled with all his might, but Jin Cheon did not let him go.
- Do you think it will go as intended?
- ……!
- You will never get what you want.
Dokgo Seong’s Heart-voice echoed in Jin Cheon’s mind.
Jin Cheon seemed to know what Dokgo Seong was trying to do.
‘Explosion Annihilation Art!’
Dokgo Seong’s intention was obvious.
Since he was on the edge of a cliff anyway and there was not a speck of chance for revival, the only method he could choose now was self-destruction through the Explosion Annihilation Art.
If he did so, at least Cheol Yu-ra’s body would explode into pieces, so wouldn't it mean that even if he went, he would prevent Jin Cheon from achieving his goal?
And such Jin Cheon’s thought was accurate.
Wooooong!
Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi began to run wild.
Even the Sealing Acupoints and Locking Meridians of the Oppression Suppression True Qi could not stop Dokgo Seong’s demonic qi from running wild.
Since Jin Cheon’s achievement was still insufficient, he might know about normal demonic qi flow, but he couldn't stop it from running wild altogether.
‘Damn it!’
Jin Cheon was flustered.
It was because he hadn't expected that the fragment of the First Heavenly Demon would act so dirty until the end like this.
‘What should I do…….’
Urgent situation.
‘Ah!’
What came to mind was, as expected, his master Azure Heaven Divine Warrior’s unique martial art, Oppression Suppression True Qi.
Woong!
A strong wavelength rose like ripples from Jin Cheon’s grip twisting Dokgo Seong’s neck.
Oppression Suppression True Qi, Third Form.
Soul-Destroying Quake.
As a martial art giving a strong shock to the opponent’s soul, perhaps it was a martial art closest to the realm of Heart Sword.
“……!”
Dokgo Seong trembled.
Sssss…….
The running wild demonic qi calmed down.
As Dokgo Seong’s will to cast the Explosion Annihilation Art became momentarily blurred due to the Soul-Destroying Quake, the flow of running wild demonic qi was temporarily cut off.
“Senior Brother Wi! It’s now!”
Jin Cheon shouted toward Wi Mu-rin in the distance.
Wasn't now the golden opportunity to separate the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong’s soul from Cheol Yu-ra’s body!
“Going right away!”
Wi Mu-rin urgently unfolded Shrinking the Earth and approached Jin Cheon’s side in the blink of an eye.
“Senior Brother Wi, the grand art.”
“I ask for protection.”
“Yes, do not worry.”
Jin Cheon said so and stood by Wi Mu-rin’s side, guarding all directions.
And it wasn't only Jin Cheon who stood guard for Wi Mu-rin.
“Liege! We will help!”
Danmok Cheong led the Seventh Divine Demon Squad and ran over, surrounding Jin Cheon, Wi Mu-rin, and Dokgo Seong, and guarding the surroundings tightly.
In the meantime.
Flutter!
Wi Mu-rin took out talismans that looked to be at least thousands of sheets from his bosom and stuck them on Dokgo Seong, took out various ritual tools, and began to chant the spell of the Soul-Snatching Great Art.
“Heaven above responds to grief, Heavenly Demon Six Souls, offer and appear to the other world…… Heaven and Earth suffer, only leaving its dark shadow…….”
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed like that.
Sssss!
Something like black misty cloud came out of Dokgo Seong, no, Cheol Yu-ra’s body.
It was the devil’s soul made of pure malice and demonic nature, which dominated Cheol Yu-ra’s body until just a moment ago and dreamed of complete resurrection.
To be exact, the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong’s broken soul fragment.
‘I can’t let it go like this!’
Jin Cheon realized exactly what he had to do at this very moment.
It was something close to a kind of instinct that he knew without anyone telling him.
If he had killed Dokgo Seong when he resided in Cheol Yu-ra’s body, that soul fragment would have dissipated as it was.
However, since he forcibly chased it out of Cheol Yu-ra’s body through the Soul-Snatching Great Art, Dokgo Seong’s soul fragment had regained freedom again.
It would wander around here for a while and then soon transcend space and fly away somewhere, and if that happened, it would resurrect again someday.
In other words, he had to do something before that soul fragment flew away.
Something powerful that would annihilate even the soul…… He needed the power of destruction that would annihilate even spiritual things beyond physical force.
‘Stop with Oppression Suppression True Qi.’
Oppression Suppression True Qi was clearly an excellent martial art.
Depending on how it was used, it was no exaggeration to say it had the potential to discuss being the Number One Under Heaven.
However, if discussing attack and destructive power, it could be said to be insufficient.
Oppression Suppression True Qi was insufficient to destroy spiritual things, not physical ones like now.
If so…….
Woong!
Jin Cheon switched the operation of demonic qi from Oppression Suppression True Qi to Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
As soon as he operated the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi, the side effects due to the Oppression Suppression True Qi disappeared completely, and the internal injury recovered quickly.
‘I put everything in this strike.’
Jin Cheon gritted his teeth and concentrated all the demonic qi he possessed into the sword.
Sizzle!
Jin Cheon’s sword, engulfed in black flame, glowed red.
Fwooosh……!!!
The black flame winding around Jin Cheon’s sword burned like an active volcano.
Extinction Kalpa Flame.
Materialized fire powerful qi.
Beyond simply having strong destructive power, it was the authority of destruction that burns away even human karma if one reaches the realm.
If it was a flame said to be able to burn away and eliminate even concepts that do not exist in the human world, having no form and no substance, it would be able to easily annihilate Dokgo Seong’s soul fragment.
‘Cut.’
Jin Cheon swung the sword with all his might toward Dokgo Seong’s soul fragment which was about to disappear faintly.
Swish!
From left to right.
The black flame harbored the blade of extinction kalpa and cut Dokgo Seong’s soul fragment.
- Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!
A ghost wail that seemed to tear the eardrums rang out.
It was not a human scream, but literally a ghost’s cry.
It was the scream Dokgo Seong’s soul fragment, which dominated Cheol Yu-ra’s body, let out unable to overcome the pain of annihilation.
