Chapter 186. The Lowest Pit of Hell
Flinch, Dokgo Seong took a step back.
Because the pressure felt from Jin Cheon was truly terrifying, even he had no choice but to shrink back.
Moreover, this was Jin Cheon’s consciousness world.
Since it was a domain solely ruled by Jin Cheon, there was nothing Dokgo Seong could do.
Strictly speaking, Dokgo Seong in front of Jin Cheon’s eyes right now was nothing but his memory stored in the Heavenly Demon Stone, not the real Dokgo Seong, though.
“You are nothing but trash.”
Jin Cheon sent a gaze mixed with contempt toward Dokgo Seong.
“Purification of the world? Vacuum Home? Bullshit. You are just a worm plundering the powerless to satisfy your desire to reach the Heavens.”
“That is because you do not understand at all…….”
“Shut up and listen.”
As Jin Cheon said so, Dokgo Seong’s mouth disappeared as if it were a lie.
As if cast by a spell, his mouth disappeared without a trace from his face, making him unable to speak.
“Mmph! Mmph mmph!”
As his mouth disappeared, Dokgo Seong tried to say something, but it was in vain.
This was a world ruled by Jin Cheon.
Jin Cheon’s words and will were the law, the absolute rule.
“Even if I say this, it won't be transmitted to that bastard Dokgo Seong. So, you listen at least.”
“Mmph mmph!”
“Somehow. Whatever means I use.”
Jin Cheon spoke as if chewing on each letter one by one.
“I will punish you, Dokgo Seong. So that you can never crawl out into the world again, I will shove you into the lowest pit of hell.”
“Mmph mmph! Mmph!”
“I am done with what I have to say. So now, it is time to disappear.”
Saying that, Jin Cheon snapped his fingers.
Fwoosh, fwoosh!
Fire caught on Dokgo Seong’s body.
It was the flames of the Extinction Kalpa Flame.
The flames of destruction, which burn not only tangible things but also invisible abstract things, engulfed Dokgo Seong and began to burn fiercely.
“Mmmph! Mmmmmmmmmmmph!”
Dokgo Seong, or to be precise, his memory, let out a desperate scream, but that sound did not echo.
Crumble, crumble!
Dokgo Seong turned into a lump of charcoal and crumbled.
“Unsightly.”
Jin Cheon frowned looking at the remains of Dokgo Seong left after burning.
A pitch-black lump of charcoal did not suit this beautiful flower field.
Swish, as Jin Cheon waved his hand, fresh grass and flowers sprouted where Dokgo Seong’s charcoal lump had been.
Here, Jin Cheon was omnipotent.
Why?
Because this was inside Jin Cheon’s consciousness world.
“I obtained everything.”
Saying that, Jin Cheon left his consciousness world and returned to reality.
The scenery in front of his eyes changed.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The Heavenly Demon Stone was seen crumbling into pieces.
Since Dokgo Seong’s memory was annihilated by Jin Cheon, the Heavenly Demon Stone storing it must have also fulfilled its purpose and broken.
“I obtained everything.”
Realizing that he had even obtained the Divine Essence, Jin Cheon sat cross-legged on the spot.
Since he gained enlightenment in the process of absorbing Dokgo Seong’s memory, he had ascended to a higher level.
If so…….
‘Circulate Qi.’
Jin Cheon operated the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
Gooooooo!
Demonic qi raged and wrapped around Jin Cheon’s body.
Fwoosh, fwoosh!
Flames of the Extinction Kalpa Flame rose from Jin Cheon’s body sitting cross-legged.
Crumble, crumble!
Soon, the black burnt skin fell off, and white flesh was revealed from within.
Body Reformation.
Fire, Water, Divine.
Having obtained the three essences and achieved a new realm, the reconstruction of the body occurred accordingly.
Heavenly Demon Divine Skill, Demonic Emperor.
He had finally ascended to the realm where one could aim for the title of the Best Under Heaven.
***
Behind the heavily lowered curtain.
The person who was meditating while sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes.
His two half-opened eyes were deep purple, and they were distant as if harboring infinite emptiness and void.
“The lowest pit of hell…….”
A low mutter flowed from his mouth.
“Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. To think he would think I haven't experienced that.”
Saying that, he closed his eyes quietly again.
***
How much time had passed…….
“Phew.”
Opening his eyes, Jin Cheon exhaled a long breath.
Jin Cheon’s body, which achieved reconstruction through Body Reformation, was truly clear and clean without a speck of dust.
His body revealed through the Nine-headed Dragon Robe worn as if draped over his shoulders was perfect enough to believe even if called a sculpture of God.
It was understandable, as Jin Cheon’s Body Reformation was achieved at the age of merely a Prodigy.
As a result, it showed efficiency on a different level from an elderly master Returning to Youth.
The internal energy that would have been used for Returning to Youth in normal cases appeared as an effect of further strengthening the already young and strong body.
“Beautiful.”
Jin Cheon muttered to himself looking around.
It wasn't that the scenery was beautiful.
Looking at the world after ascending to a new realm, things that were not visible before were seen.
Because the senses that became sharper than before detected things they couldn't see previously, the world looked different.
That was something that could be called opening one's eyes in the true sense, and this would apply not only to looking at the world but also when unfolding martial arts.
Jin Cheon felt like he would go crazy wanting to unfold martial arts right away.
He wanted to activate the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill Demonic Emperor and pour out new secret techniques he hadn't been able to use until now.
However…….
‘This is not the time for this.’
Jin Cheon hurriedly moved his steps.
Unfolding martial arts was something he could do anytime later.
But now, saving Cheol Yu-ra was the priority.
Thinking of Cheol Yu-ra who would be wandering the verge of death even at this moment, it was true that the thought of martial arts disappeared completely.
‘Let’s go to Senior Sister.’
Jin Cheon kicked the ground.
The Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art’s Ghost Soul Dance granted truly immense speed to Jin Cheon.
‘F, Fast.’
Jin Cheon was surprised by his own speed heading to the Divine Land.
He merely deployed movement arts, but it was as fast as when Wi Mu-rin activated Shrinking the Earth.
The surrounding scenery passed by so quickly that when he came to his senses, he had already passed the Scorching Hell, which was halfway, and reached the entrance of Sky Mountain.
‘Is this…… the realm of the Demonic Emperor.’
Jin Cheon himself clicked his tongue.
It was beyond imagination.
It was just surprising that he could do so easily what was impossible when he stayed in the realm of the Extreme Demon.
He felt like he understood why there were no opponents within the Cult and one could proudly claim to be the Best Under Heaven once achieving the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill Demonic Emperor.
Of course, since it was a stage corresponding to the entry of the Demonic Emperor realm, it was true that there was a lack compared to the realm achieved by the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong, but nevertheless, it was unavoidable to feel amazing.
If he cultivated diligently like this, it would be a natural procedure to be able to reach the same realm as the First Heavenly Demon even without gaining special enlightenment.
But the admiration was brief.
‘Please wait a little, Senior Sister.’
Jin Cheon deployed movement arts again and ran at full speed toward the Human-Saving Manor where Cheol Yu-ra was.
***
“How is Senior Sister’s condition?”
“……!”
At Jin Cheon’s sudden appearance, Gongson Chaek, the Lord of the Human-Saving Manor, was so surprised he almost fell on his buttocks.
Since Jin Cheon appeared suddenly and soundlessly as if manifesting, he had no choice but to be astounded.
That applied equally to others who were guarding Cheol Yu-ra’s side.
“W, When did you come?”
Blood Qilin asked while flinching in surprise.
“I just arrived.”
Jin Cheon grinned and answered.
“……Eventually, you achieved Great Success.”
Yeom Bi threw a word casually.
It wasn't just Yeom Bi who felt it.
Gongson Chaek, Blood Qilin, Cheon U-jin, Wi Mu-rin, and even Cheol Yu-ra’s mother Bukgung Seol were seeing, hearing, and feeling that Jin Cheon had become a completely different person from before.
“Congratulations on the Great Success.”
Cheon U-jin readily offered congratulations to Jin Cheon.
That was not easy, but a very difficult thing.
As the Eldest Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, Cheon U-jin was a figure who had solidified his position as the most likely Young Cult Leader candidate until now.
For such Cheon U-jin to readily offer congratulations to Jin Cheon who achieved Great Success was truly a difficult thing.
Even while clearly knowing that his position would be shaken because of Jin Cheon in the future…….
“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Since Jin Cheon also wasn't unaware of that, he took a clasped hands greeting toward Cheon U-jin and gladly accepted that heart.
‘As expected of Eldest Senior Brother. I know why Master accepted Eldest Senior Brother as the first disciple.’
Jin Cheon couldn't hide his admiration for Eldest Senior Brother Cheon U-jin’s character and caliber.
“Thank you all. But now is not the time to be receiving congratulations. I will revive Senior Sister first.”
Jin Cheon returned the greeting to the fellow disciples who offered congratulations with a clasped hands greeting, then looked back at Gongson Chaek.
“I need Elder’s help.”
“Of course, Seventh Young Master.”
With Gongson Chaek’s help, Jin Cheon raised Cheol Yu-ra, who was lying as if dead, and made her sit cross-legged.
Then, he attached his palms to Cheol Yu-ra’s back and infused the Essences of Water, Fire, and Divine.
Soon, Jin Cheon and Cheol Yu-ra floated into the air while sitting cross-legged.
“……!”
The people watching this were so surprised they reached the point of doubting their own eyes.
It looked like he was transferring true qi, but to think Levitation would happen…….
“I guess we should leave the room. Everyone go out and stand guard.”
Saying that, Cheon U-jin led the fellow disciples out of the sickroom.
“Madam should go too.”
“But…….”
“How could I not know the heart wanting to stay by Junior Sister’s side? However, I fear it might become a hindrance.”
“I understand.”
Eventually, Cheol Yu-ra’s mother Bukgung Seol also left the place.
Since she was also a Transcendent Master, she knew too well how unstable the process of infusing true qi and guiding it was.
***
Several shichen later.
“How did it go.”
Cheon U-jin asked upon discovering Jin Cheon coming out of the Human-Saving Manor.
“Senior Sister has stabilized. She will wake up soon.”
“I, Is that true?”
“Yes.”
Jin Cheon nodded with a smile, then approached Cheol Yu-ra’s mother Bukgung Seol and said.
“Do not worry anymore. Senior Sister is safe.”
“Seventh Young Master……!”
“The promise to definitely save Senior Sister, I kept it.”
“Thank you for Seventh Young Master’s grace. Truly thank you. How should I repay this debt…….”
It was evident that Bukgung Seol didn't know what to do.
“In the past, I owed a debt of saving my life to the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior, and now I owe the same debt of saving my life to his disciple, the Seventh Young Master.”
“Don't mention it. I only did what I ought to do. Master would have also thought so.”
“Seventh Young Master…….”
“First, please stay by Senior Sister’s side. She will wake up soon.”
Saying that, Jin Cheon immediately moved his steps.
“Aren't you going to watch Senior Sister wake up?”
“Wouldn't it be okay to greet later.”
Jin Cheon smiled and answered Blood Qilin’s question.
“Where are you going?”
“I am going to the Cult Leader.”
“To the Cult Leader……?”
“There is something I definitely want to ask.”
Saying that, Jin Cheon moved his steps toward the Cult Leader’s Hall.
It took only a moment for such Jin Cheon to disappear from everyone’s view.
Just as when he appeared, he disappeared suddenly when leaving as well.
‘Is that word true.’
In Jin Cheon’s mind heading to the Cult Leader’s Hall, there was only one question.
‘Was I really a part of Dokgo Seong.’
That was the reason Jin Cheon was heading to the Cult Leader’s Hall.
Because the only person who could give an answer to that question was the Iron-Blooded Demonic God.
