Chapter 207. Surely I Won’t Spare Myself over Something Like This
Shuuuuuu!
The sight of as many as a thousand bundles of powerful qi flying in at once. It was truly a spectacle.
At the level of a prodigy, being able to wield just three or four strands is enough to be called a genius regarding powerful qi, but for such aggregates of tangible qi to number as many as a thousand was a tremendous thing in itself.
Even if one lived a lifetime, no, died and woke up several times, it would be close to impossible to witness such a spectacle.
However, that was only the story of those watching from afar; it was different for those dealing with it directly.
“This crazy!”
Jin Cheon threw his body urgently.
There was no need to be hit to know how powerful the destructive force contained in the flying bundles of powerful qi was.
“Hut!”
Dharma Emperor Awangra also displayed movement arts and set out to dodge.
Peong, peoeong!
Kwaaang!
The missed bundles of powerful qi struck the spots where Jin Cheon and Dharma Emperor Awangra had been, devastating the area.
Kwarrrrrrrr!
Urrreung!
The destructive power was so strong that the Kunlun Palace shook as if an earthquake occurred.
‘What kind of monster is this?’
Jin Cheon clicked his tongue at the bundles of powerful qi emitted by the old monk, and raised his demonic energy to the fullest.
Pajik, pajijik!
Jet-black lightning emanated from Jin Cheon.
Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor, activate!
Revealing the appearance of the Emperor of Demons, Jin Cheon rushed toward the old monk.
Seuuuuuu!
Dharma Emperor Awangra also raised the Great Supreme Avalokitesvara Divine Art.
Chwarararak!
Dharma Emperor Awangra’s hands moved as if undulating, and the trajectory left vivid afterimages.
Such hands of Dharma Emperor Awangra were like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara possessing a thousand hands.
Generally, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was said to possess a thousand eyes and a thousand hands.
For the Dalai Dharma Emperor, the incarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, to use martial arts reminiscent of a thousand hands was natural in a way.
Just as Jin Cheon, activating the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor, looked like the Emperor of Demons reigning over the demonic kings of hell.
“I take the left, you take the right.”
“Understood.”
Jin Cheon and Dharma Emperor Awangra occupied their respective directions and pressured the old monk.
Shuuuuuu!
Again, a thousand bundles of powerful qi flew in.
‘Futile.’
A smirk rose on Jin Cheon’s lips.
A thousand powerful qi?
As long as he activated the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor, there was no reason to dodge.
Kkwak!
Jin Cheon clenched his two fists and watched the flying bundles of powerful qi.
Kwang, kwaang!
Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Heaven-Breaking Fist struck the flying bundles of powerful qi head-on.
Peong, peoeong!
The bundles of powerful qi hit by the Heaven-Breaking Fist exploded and dissipated.
‘I will break everything and close the distance.’
Jin Cheon poured out fist and kick techniques without hesitation, destroying the bundles of powerful qi emitted by the old monk, and advanced quickly.
Dharma Emperor Awangra also swung the arms of the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, destroying the bundles of powerful qi, and closed the distance with the old monk.
“Foolish.”
The old monk’s red eyes flashed even deeper.
Seuuuuu!
The powerful qi emitted by the old monk changed.
“……!”
Jin Cheon was quite surprised to see the thousand bundles of powerful qi emitted by the old monk forming a single shape.
- Kyaaaaaaaa!
- Kyaaaaaaak!
- Kyaaak, kaaaaaaaaak!
Each bundle of powerful qi took the form of a dragon, and flew aiming at Jin Cheon and Dharma Emperor Awangra like living creatures.
It looked as if creation from nothing.
How can mere aggregates of tangible qi take the form of dragons and move as if they are alive?
They said if one reaches a truly high realm, the boundary between martial arts and sorcery blurs and one enters the stage of omnipotence; the old monk seemed to be so as well.
Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi.
The unique martial art of the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong, Heavenly Demon Divine Qi.
And the unique martial art of the Dalai Dharma Emperor, Great Supreme Avalokitesvara Divine Art.
Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi was a martial art born based on those two martial arts.
- Kyaaaaaaak!
A bundle of powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi…… no, a dragon flew aiming at Jin Cheon’s left shoulder.
Flash!
Urrreung!
Jin Cheon struck the head of the flying dragon with Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Heavenly Thunderclap Palm.
Jjeong!
A vibration rang out as if striking metal.
‘What on earth!’
Jin Cheon’s face distorted abruptly.
Just as it is not a real dragon just because it looks like a dragon, it is merely a lump of qi forming a shape, yet it feels like striking metal?
Was it only that?
- Kyaak?!
The dragon hit by the Heavenly Thunderclap Palm shook its head left and right with a scream.
Despite being made of true qi, as if it were a real living dragon.
Even, how about its hardness?
Even though he struck it with the Heavenly Thunderclap Palm which is more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Heaven-Breaking Fist, far from being destroyed, isn’t it fine?
“A thousand hands shall become a thousand dragons.”
The old monk smiled broadly.
His appearance commanding a thousand dragons made of powerful qi looked like the body of a demonic beast with a thousand heads.
“You too are mere ordinary people, and also nothing but insignificant creatures.”
The old monk’s voice, mixed with the voices of the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong and Dharma Emperor Ilpagyeon, rang out as if echoing.
“Eventually, you will repent and succumb.”
As soon as those words ended, a thousand dragons flew toward Jin Cheon and Dharma Emperor Awangra respectively.
* * *
Meanwhile, inside the Potala Palace, the fight was in full swing.
The fight was one-sided.
The martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult personally proved why their reputation as objects of fear was widespread, seizing the inside of the palace with overwhelming martial prowess.
The martial monks and soldiers inside the Potala Palace fell helplessly before such martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
“No need to burn them necessarily.”
Yeom Bi did not feel the need to emit Yang-hard demonic energy necessarily.
The family martial art of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family used by Yeom Bi was a powerful Yang-hard martial art, having the characteristic of turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire if he exerted full power.
But in an overwhelming situation like now, there would be no need to go that far.
Since they ended up joining hands with Dharma Emperor Awangra’s force whether they liked it or not, burning the Potala Palace which would become his possession in the future didn’t look good either.
So Yeom Bi focused on reducing allies’ damage or acted within the line of suppressing exceptionally strong enemies.
Just then.
“Fourth Young Master!”
A group of martial artists ran urgently and knelt before Yeom Bi.
They were martial artists of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family.
“What brings you guys here?”
“We have something to deliver urgently.”
“That is…… Ah.”
The reason Yeom Bi stopped while trying to ask what it was, was because the martial artists of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family were carrying a small coffin.
On the coffin gleaming black as if carved from obsidian, talismans clearly appearing to be made by the Spirit Commanding Wi Family were plastered, and even Taoist scriptures were painted in gold.
Demon Sealing Chest.
It was a treasured object used by the Spirit Commanding Wi Family when containing something with powerful demonic energy.
Whether it was a person or an object.
In a situation like now, Yeom Bi knew all too well why the martial artists of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family brought the Demon Sealing Chest.
“Is it already completed?”
“Yes, Fourth Young Master.”
“Hm. It’s a bit faster than expected.”
“The Clan Head, the blood relatives of the clan, and even retainers hung onto it day and night for seven days and nights.”
“Is that s…….”
Just then.
Kwaaang!
Kwarrrrrrrrrrr!
Along with a roar, a disaster occurred where half of the Kunlun Palace collapsed far away.
“……!”
Yeom Bi flinched and trembled at the collapsing Kunlun Palace and the powerful qi wave felt from there.
What kind of fight on earth is happening…….
The fight shaking heaven and earth must refer to what is happening right in that Kunlun Palace.
“But why did you come so urgently?”
“That is…….”
Before the martial artist of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family could even answer, jet-black demonic energy poured out like smoke through the fine gap of the Demon Sealing Chest.
“Keu, keueuk!”
“Ughhhh!”
The martial artists of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family clutched their chests or heads in pain.
The demonic energy pouring out from the Demon Sealing Chest was so powerful that even the martial artists of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family equipped with martial arts above peak level could not overcome the pain.
“Ah, does it mean it’s at the limit?”
“Th, that is correct. Keuk!”
“Indeed. No matter it is the Demon Sealing Chest, it would be insufficient to contain that.”
“If we don’t deliver it to the Seventh Young Master quickly…….”
It was when the martial artist of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family was saying so.
“I will go.”
Cheol Yu-ra stepped forward.
“I will take it to the youngest.”
“Will you do so?”
“Of course.”
Cheol Yu-ra nodded at Yeom Bi’s question.
“The way there will be arduous. The Demon Sealing Chest is also reaching its limit, so if something goes wrong, you might be in danger, Senior Sister.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Cheol Yu-ra’s eyes shone as if asking what big deal that was.
“The youngest risked his life to save me. I heard he crossed the Scorching Hell, Eternal Island, and Heavenly Demon Peak and survived death crises several times. I heard he suffered considerably in Gansu Province as well. Having received such grace of saving life, surely I won’t spare myself over something like this.”
Cheol Yu-ra said so, then lifted the Demon Sealing Chest, which the martial artists of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family were sharing, onto her shoulder easily.
Seuuuuu!
The demonic energy pouring out from the Demon Sealing Chest assaulted Cheol Yu-ra.
“……Keuk.”
Cheol Yu-ra groaned in pain.
The demonic energy pouring out from the Demon Sealing Chest was not something even a master like Cheol Yu-ra could withstand easily.
Even though she obtained a miraculous encounter of rising to the realm of Extreme Demon beyond escaping death thanks to receiving the essence of Water, Fire, and Divine from Jin Cheon, it was burdensome to handle.
Nevertheless, Cheol Yu-ra clenched her teeth.
Recalling Jin Cheon who risked his life to save her, she couldn’t collapse over just this much demonic energy.
“I will escort you, Senior Sister.”
Yeom Bi took the lead to open the path for Cheol Yu-ra.
“Where are we going? Going over there? It’s too scary there.”
Blood Qilin tagged along.
“I will go together too.”
Wi Mu-rin also joined Cheol Yu-ra carrying the Demon Sealing Chest.
“If it is the way to the youngest, I will also be together.”
Finally, even the First Young Master Cheon U-jin joined Cheol Yu-ra’s short journey.
Since Jin Cheon and Dharma Emperor Awangra had achieved such high realms, they broke through to the Kunlun Palace easily, but for those who hadn't reached such supreme realms, it was by no means an easy journey.
The high-ranking monks of the Potala Palace guarding the Kunlun Palace were powerful in themselves.
Also, since a fight shaking heaven and earth was currently happening in the Kunlun Palace, it had become a realm of death where approach itself was impossible for ordinary masters.
In other words, going to the Kunlun Palace now was a matter worth mobilizing all fellow disciples of the Iron-Blooded Demonic God, no matter how short the journey.
* * *
‘Damn it.’
Jin Cheon was struggling.
- Kyaak, kyaaaaaak!
- Kyaaaaaak!
The dragons of Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi targeted Jin Cheon continuously.
Chwara!
Hand-Blade.
He cut down dragons attacking with Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Light Wing Blade one by one, but that was merely a stopgap measure.
Even with the sharp blade of the Light Wing Blade, it wasn’t easy to cut down dragons in a single stroke, and also the dragons’ heads kept growing back, threatening Jin Cheon.
‘If only I had a proper sword…….’
Jin Cheon regretted that point too much.
Since the sword made of Black Iron broke in the Scorching Hell, hadn’t he been unable to properly use the Heavenly Demon Sword Art as well as Flying Heaven Sword Art because he didn’t have a proper sword?
Of course, for a master like Jin Cheon, the presence or absence of a weapon was not very important, but it didn’t mean there was no difference between having one and not having one.
If only there was a sharp sword with hardness excellent enough to deal with the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi, the story would have been different.......
“Junior Brother!”
Turning his head at the sudden shout, he saw Cheol Yu-ra far away.
And the figures of his Senior Brothers guarding her side were also seen.
“Junior Brother! Take it!”
Cheol Yu-ra threw the Demon Sealing Chest she was carrying on her shoulder with all her might.
‘That is!’
Jin Cheon instinctively struck the Demon Sealing Chest flying toward him with the Heavenly Thunderclap Palm.
Ujikkeun!
The Demon Sealing Chest shattered into pieces.
Seureung!
A black Demonic Sword wrapped in black air currents revealed its appearance.
