Chapter 208. You Won’t Be Able to Run Away Now
Puk!
The sword pierced the ground at Jin Cheon’s feet.
Seeing it easily penetrate the floor made of hard stone, there was no need to mention the sword’s sharpness.
‘Beautiful.’
Jin Cheon looked at the sword in front of him as if possessed.
The Sword possessed a blade that seemed not to exist in the human world.
Basically black, but it couldn’t be said to be simply black.
It seemed to reflect the surroundings like a bronze mirror, yet it did not reflect light, and rather seemed to suck in the light.
‘This is!’
Jin Cheon instinctively recognized what the sword coming out of the shattered Demon Sealing Chest was.
Heavenly Demon Sword.
A rare Demonic Sword produced when the First Heavenly Demon Dokgo Seong reincarnated for the second time, a masterpiece made by the Demonic Armament Yeom Family.
The creator was said to be the best craftsman of the time and the Heavenly Demon Craftsman Yeom Wang, who is counted within one hand historically.
According to the Divine Cult Historical Records, Yeom Wang produced the Heavenly Demon Sword for Dokgo Seong and died as his strength ran out the moment he completed the sword.
After that, the Heavenly Demon Sword became a sword like a symbol of Dokgo Seong and a sacred object of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult along with the Nine-headed Dragon Robe.
However, the Heavenly Demon Sword, which was famous as a rare Demonic Sword and the best sword under the heavens, was said to have been broken.
About forty years ago from this time.
When the Iron-Blooded Demonic God and the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior executed Dokgo Seong, it ended up shattering into pieces.
It was just surprising how such a Heavenly Demon Sword could reveal its appearance to the world again.
‘How……?’
The moment a question arose in Jin Cheon’s mind.
“The Demonic Essence of the Heavenly Demon Sword!”
Yeom Bi’s shout dug into Jin Cheon’s ears.
“We transplanted that Demonic Essence into a new blade!”
“……!”
“We produced it optimized for your body type! There will be no difficulty in using it!”
That was a secret history Jin Cheon did not know yet.
A divine weapon like the Heavenly Demon Sword could not be defined simply as a blade made of metal.
Much more so if it was a sword with the modifier of the best sword under the heavens like the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Right after the Heavenly Demon Sword was destroyed.
The Demonic Essence that resided within it was released into the world.
The Demonic Essence of the Heavenly Demon Sword caused disasters by possessing all sorts of objects or people, so the Iron-Blooded Demonic God stepped forward personally.
Instead of destroying the Demonic Essence of the Heavenly Demon Sword, the Iron-Blooded Demonic God collected it and kept it in the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
After time passed, Jin Cheon refined Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron in the Scorching Hell, and the grand art of transplanting the Demonic Essence of the Heavenly Demon Sword succeeded with the collaboration of the Demonic Armament Yeom Family and the Spirit Commanding Wi Family.
The purpose was only one.
It was to produce a sword that only Jin Cheon could handle.......
“Wield it to your heart's content! It is a sword for you!”
Yeom Bi’s shout dug into Jin Cheon’s ears again.
“……A sword for me.”
It was when Jin Cheon repeated those words and tried to reach out toward the hilt of the Heavenly Demon Sword.
“Where!”
The old monk shouted thunderously.
“Kyaaaaaaaak!”
Bundles of powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi, easily numbering a thousand, poured toward Jin Cheon.
A slight urgency wafted from the old man’s voice and the fierce attack.
The old man also knows.
That the sword emerging from the destroyed Demon Sealing Chest is the Heavenly Demon Sword, the best sword under the heavens and a rare Demonic Sword.......
Why wouldn't he know?
Isn't the old man an existence made of Dokgo Seong’s soul fragment and the fallen Dalai Dharma Emperor?
Even in Dokgo Seong’s memory, and in the memory of the Dalai Dharma Emperor who had been in conflict with that Dokgo Seong for hundreds of years, the Heavenly Demon Sword would be a divine weapon that left a tremendously big impression.
“I will block it.”
Dharma Emperor Awangra raised the Great Supreme Avalokitesvara Divine Art to the extreme and opposed the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi.
Kwang, kwaaaaaaaang!
A huge explosion occurred as the powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi and the Great Supreme Avalokitesvara Divine Art collided.
In the meantime.
Swish.
Jin Cheon’s hand touched the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Woooooooooong!!!
The Heavenly Demon Sword vibrated madly.
Seuuuuuuuuu!!!
The black air current pouring out…… that demonic energy was truly intense.
However, Jin Cheon’s face was peaceful beyond measure.
Even Cheol Yu-ra, who reached the realm of Extreme Demon, found it burdensome to handle that demonic energy, but Jin Cheon looked rather comfortable.
It was actually so.
‘This touch, this feeling. It is too good.’
Jin Cheon felt like the hilt of the Heavenly Demon Sword was winding onto his hand perfectly.
‘Familiar.’
It was like meeting an old friend or a lover.
It might be because it was a sword produced by accurately measuring Jin Cheon’s body measurements in the first place, but it wouldn't be solely because of that.
Since Jin Cheon had the Heavenly Demon’s Physique, it would be natural for a Demonic Sword harboring terrifying Demonic Essence to feel familiar.
Ssuuk!
The Heavenly Demon Sword, which was stuck in the hard stone floor, was pulled out easily.
Hwik, hwiik.
Jin Cheon swung the Heavenly Demon Sword lightly.
The Heavenly Demon Sword cut through the air drawing a black trajectory.
Even though its weight would exceed tens of catties due to the characteristics of the material made of Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron, the sword felt lighter than anything else.
Whether one knew it or not, it must be because Jin Cheon’s muscular strength, having undergone Body Reformation, was powerful enough that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.
‘Finally, I have a sword that fits me.’
A broad smile rose on Jin Cheon’s lips.
It was common for him to fight mainly with fist and kick techniques unintentionally because he didn't have a proper sword all this time, but finally, he obtained a friend to wield as a companion for life.
Moreover, wasn't he having trouble dealing with the old monk right now because he didn't have a sword?
Kkwak, Jin Cheon’s grip grasped the hilt of the Heavenly Demon Sword strongly.
‘He is the perfect opponent to test it.’
Jin Cheon’s gaze headed toward the old monk and Dharma Emperor Awangra.
* * *
“Keuk!”
Dharma Emperor Awangra was driven into a defensive position.
Since he received the bundles of powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi with bare hands relying only on inner energy without a treasured object like the Nine-headed Dragon Robe like Jin Cheon, it would be strange if his body was intact.
Of course, the ability of the Great Supreme Avalokitesvara Divine Art was sufficient to deal with a master wielding a divine weapon even with bare hands, but dealing with the old monk pouring out powerful qi limitlessly would by no means be an easy task.
“Leave it to me from now on!”
Jin Cheon shouted so, left Dharma Emperor Awangra behind, and rushed toward the old monk.
Jin Cheon’s movement art, displaying the Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Ghost Soul Dance to the extreme, was like a ghost in itself, so it looked as if he had no body.
Jin Cheon’s movement art was that swift, and the movement was elegant.
“Kyaaaaaaaak!”
Powerful qi.
Dragons of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi flew aiming at Jin Cheon.
Jin Cheon did not dodge.
Even though he could sufficiently dodge things that could be dodged by unfolding the Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Ghost Soul Dance, Jin Cheon seemed to have no intention of doing so at all.
‘Let’s see how sharp it is.’
With that thought, Jin Cheon swung the Heavenly Demon Sword toward the powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi pouncing on him.
Flash!
As the sword light flashed, the blade of the Heavenly Demon Sword drew a black trajectory.
Chwaaaaaaaa!
A wave of blade edge rose and swept away the powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi.
The result was truly surprising.
Hundreds of the thousand bundles of powerful qi of the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi were cut off at once.
The Heavenly Demon Sword cut too easily the bundles of powerful qi with hardness that could not be destroyed with bare hands until now.
‘Tremendous.’
Jin Cheon couldn't help but admire the sharpness of the Heavenly Demon Sword.
However, the Heavenly Demon Sword was not simply sharp.
Wooooong!
The demonic energy gathered in Jin Cheon’s qi center became thicker, and the amount was also increasing in real-time.
The Heavenly Demon Sword contained the ability to not only strengthen its master’s demonic energy but also increase the amount by about thirty percent.
As such, it goes without saying that Jin Cheon became stronger.
“Did I tell you? That I am a swordsman?”
Jin Cheon said so and injected demonic energy into the Heavenly Demon Sword to the fullest.
Hwarruk, hwarrrrruk!
Black flames soared from the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Extinction Kalpa Flame.
The flame of destruction that burns even intangible things blazed in the form of sword flux.
“Your end will be your head flying off by the sword.”
Jin Cheon said so and closed the distance with the old monk again.
“……!”
The old monk hurriedly emitted the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi and targeted Jin Cheon.
However, the attack power of Jin Cheon who already obtained the Heavenly Demon Sword was not something that could be stopped by the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi.
Moreover, since he overlaid the sword flux of the Extinction Kalpa Flame on the Heavenly Demon Sword, it was no exaggeration to say that the sword Jin Cheon wielded contained the authority of destruction.
Was it only attack power?
“Kyaaaaaak!”
A few strands of Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi managed to bite Jin Cheon’s back, but that was merely a useless act.
Nine-headed Dragon Robe.
The defensive power of the robe called the best treasured object under the heavens was solid like Diamond Indestructible Body, so it was not something that could be easily penetrated even by the Demonic Dragon Thousand Powerful Qi.
Even if it penetrated the Nine-headed Dragon Robe and inflicted damage on Jin Cheon, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Because the ability of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe not only healed Jin Cheon but also repaired itself, practically no damage was inflicted.
That meant it was no different from saying Jin Cheon was an existence possessing the best attack power and best defensive power under the heavens simultaneously.
“You won’t be able to run away now.”
Jin Cheon, who succeeded in closing the distance with the old monk before anyone knew it, smiled triumphantly.
“……!”
The old monk tried to widen the distance from Jin Cheon hurriedly, but the movement art of Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art Ghost Soul Dance did not allow even that.
“Where are you trying to run?”
“……!”
“Why, are you getting urgent now?”
Jin Cheon mocked the old monk.
The reason was simple.
Upon approaching, the old monk’s condition was by no means intact.
The skin was crumbly and peeling off as if molting.
Also, cracks were formed here and there like porcelain, looking as if it would break at any moment.
Jin Cheon had seen this phenomenon before.
Cheol Yu-ra.
When the soul fragment of Dokgo Seong possessed her, didn't Cheol Yu-ra’s body fail to endure anymore and slowly collapse?
The old monk’s body was no different from that.
Jin Cheon realized the reason at once.
‘A reincarnated body cannot contain the Dalai Dharma Emperor’s soul for long. Much more so, if the souls of the Dalai Dharma Emperor and Dokgo Seong are mixed, it is commendable just that it hasn't collapsed yet. The guy now is in a situation like a candle before the wind.’
After finishing his thoughts, he seemed to know why the old monk emitted powerful qi and attacked only from a long distance.
The current body of the old monk was not in a state to handle close combat.
But he succeeded in closing the distance?
Not only did he seize the victory, but it was practically fine to say it was Jin Cheon’s victory.
Then…….
‘I will end it with one sword.’
Jin Cheon added strength to the grip holding the Heavenly Demon Sword.
From bottom left to top right.
The Heavenly Demon Sword drew a black trajectory toward the old monk.
Heavenly Demon Sword Art Second Form.
Severing Heaven.
A sword form that severs even the sky unfolded, and a sure-kill sword strike was displayed.
Chwaaaaaaaaaaa!
Right after the Heavenly Demon Sword Art swept through.
Seuuuuk, kuung!
Kwarrrrrr!
The upper body of the Great Buddha Statue located behind the old monk slid and collapsed.
It was cut diagonally by the Heavenly Demon Sword Art Second Form Severing Heaven, and eventually collapsed.
If the Great Buddha Statue located behind was like that, it would be stranger if the old monk was fine.
Thud!
The old monk’s upper body collapsed and fell onto the stone floor.
One sword, split in two.
As Jin Cheon intended, he was cut in two with a single sword!
