Chapter 151 : The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult Lifts Its Seal (7)
Chapter 151 : The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult Lifts Its Seal (7)
Xinjiang.
It was a barren place with only mountains since ancient times, but as the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, which had settled here, ruled the entire northern region, it became a new center of transportation.
But now, Xinjiang was quiet and deserted.
The reason was simple. Because the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, the ruler of the northern region's hegemony that had settled in Xinjiang, had sealed its gates.
It had already been several years since the main gate of the Divine Cult had been closed.
Not even an ant was passing in front of it.
Just then, a person was quickly approaching the Divine Cult.
He stood in front of the closed main gate and opened his mouth widely.
"I am Elder Yi, who went out for a while under the leader's order. I have something to report right now, so open the gate."
Creak.
With the sound of iron scraping, the closed main gate opened slightly.
Thud!
And the moment the man who had identified himself as Elder Yi entered, the iron gate closed again.
*
The Heavenly Demon Hall.
In the vast space, only one person was sitting alone. That person was shabby compared to the size of this place, but his presence was enough to fill this place.
That was also because the person sitting there now was the Heavenly Demon, who was called the strongest in the current martial world.
"Elder Yi has just returned."
At the voice coming from the empty space, the Heavenly Demon slowly opened his closed eyes.
"You've finally come."
The Heavenly Demon stared at one side of the empty space and asked.
"What happened to the other rats?"
"We have taken care of all of them."
"Alright."
With the Heavenly Demon's answer, the presence in the empty space disappeared. After a while, a new presence appeared from outside the door of the great hall.
"Come in."
The huge door opened on its own. This was opened by the Heavenly Demon himself with his internal energy.
Thump, thump.
Elder Yi, with a haggard expression as if the work outside had been quite hard, walked in front of the Heavenly Demon and paid his respects.
"I, Baekseo, pay my respects to the Heavenly Demon."
"Yes. Did you find the young leader?"
"I'm sorry. I did my best, but I couldn't find her."
"Is she dead?"
"I found traces of a fight with a martial artist of at least the Transformation Realm or higher, but I couldn't find the body."
"Well, if a person like you says so, it can't be helped. But, Baekseo."
"Yes, sir! Please give me your order."
"How long have you been with me?"
"If you include the time when the former leader was alive, it's been over 60 years."
"Yes. One sixty-year cycle... It's a truly long time. Isn't it?"
"Although I, Baekseo, am a lowly subordinate, I will continue to do my best to serve you."
"Because I have a loyal subject like you, I am always reassured."
"You flatter me. I will surely receive punishment for the failure of this mission."
"The reason she left the Divine Cult on her own is the young leader's business, so the young leader will take care of it herself. Because she is by no means a weak child. And I have one more question."
"Please give me your order."
"Since when was it?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, planting a spy in the Divine Cult."
"What? I don't understand what you're saying."
"I was just waiting for the right time to deal with the rats in the Divine Cult, but thanks to you leaving, I've cleaned them all up. Now only you are left."
"What have you been talking about since a while ago?"
"Haha. You've been deceiving us for a really long time. Haven't you? White Heaven Lord."
Grin.
"How did you know?"
"Because my nephew is so outstanding. As I was chasing my nephew's traces, I naturally came to know about you guys, the Chaotic Heavenly Society."
"Are you confident?"
"About what?"
"The former Heavenly Demon also noticed our existence, but he couldn't bring it out into the world. Are you, who couldn't even surpass the former, going to bring it out? Can you handle it, I mean."
"Are you daring to threaten me now?"
"Yes. If you continue to live without knowing anything like you have until now, we will still be hiding in the dark."
"Interesting. You're telling me to tuck my tail and stay put."
"I am making a proposal."
"I am the Heavenly Demon."
The Heavenly Demon slowly stood up from his chair.
A powerful energy filled the great hall.
"Is this your answer?"
"The Divine Cult no longer needs rats."
A powerful energy also emanated from the body of White Heaven Lord, Baekseo.
They looked at each other.
They had seen each other for a longer time than anyone else.
The opponent was by no means easy.
No! Because he had seen him from closer than anyone else, he could know.
That he would be the strongest among those he had met so far.
Therefore, the two shouted at the same time.
The 5th stage pinnacle of the Profound Gown, the boundary.
"Blazing Flame Boundary."
The 5th stage pinnacle of the Profound Manifestation, the boundary.
"White Dance Boundary."
*
The boundary was a new boundary created by a finite human in an infinite world.
Therefore, within that boundary, one could grant one's own laws.
However, because it was finite, the law was limited to one. And it was not a completely new boundary.
It was just an incomplete world that did not exist but was materialized, created by those who had glimpsed a fragment of causality.
That was the exact definition of a boundary.
And now.
Two incomplete boundaries were interlocked with each other and were creating a new miracle.
Although the boundary was incomplete, it was true that it was a single world.
Therefore, the two boundaries, in order to become complete, noticed the parts that each other lacked and were filling them in themselves.
The Blazing Flame Boundary spread by the Heavenly Demon moved to yang.
The White Dance Boundary spread by White Heaven Lord moved to yin.
The moment the harmony of yin and yang was achieved like that.
The incomplete boundary temporarily became a complete single boundary.
So in this, not the original causality of the world, but another causality only within this boundary was applied.
The newly applied law was as follows.
First, all living things in the boundary cannot perform the reversal of heaven.
Second, all living things in the boundary cannot use the great meridians.
This was the first time for both the Heavenly Demon and White Heaven Lord.
Because the number of martial artists who had reached the 5th stage, the end of the Profound Gown and the Profound Manifestation, was extremely small, and such figures had never had a life-and-death battle with each other by spreading a boundary.
In the unprecedented situation in the martial world, the two with the highest martial prowess in the martial world immediately finished grasping what had happened to them.
"Amazing. I never would have thought you were a martial artist who could spread a boundary."
The Heavenly Demon opened his mouth, feeling the completely empty great meridians.
White Heaven Lord answered, feeling that the strengthening of the body using the fine meridians was blocked.
"The prohibition of the reversal of heaven... I've been hit."
"The feeling of having my great meridians prohibited is new. It feels like I've gone back to the days when I first learned martial arts."
The Heavenly Demon and White Heaven Lord exhaled at the same time.
A sense of powerlessness felt after a long time.
On the contrary, the senses that each other felt were maximized.
The two activated their fine meridians without a word.
"Heavenly Demon. What can you do without internal energy?"
White Heaven Lord asked, warming up his body.
The Heavenly Demon also answered, warming up his body.
"It's been a long time since I've had a hand-to-hand fight."
When the senses of the whole body reached their peak.
Bang!
The two kicked off the ground at almost the same time.
Although it was the movement of the two without any internal energy felt, the two flew in the air for nearly three zhang as if they were using internal energy.
The two who had reached a position where their arms would reach if they extended them.
First, the Heavenly Demon threw a palm at White Heaven Lord's chin. White Heaven Lord avoids it by turning his head to the side, and at the same time, twists his waist and throws a punch at the Heavenly Demon's chest.
Crack.
The Heavenly Demon blocked the punch by bending his elbow and knee. White Heaven Lord felt a strong pain in the back of his hand and knew that his bone was slightly broken. He pressed his body close and succeeded in pressing his shoulder against the Heavenly Demon's chest, more precisely, his ribs, once again.
Thump!
The Iron Mountain Lean that is performed by bouncing the lower body and waist at the same time.
The Heavenly Demon, who could not completely defend, flew in the air.
Swish.
White Heaven Lord, who had kicked off the ground as it was, chased the Heavenly Demon and jumped high in the air in a parabola. And he raised his leg high and then brought it down on the Heavenly Demon's glabella, one of the vital points.
The Heavenly Demon grabbed the descending leg with his arm, twisted it, and threw it. Using that backlash, he rotated his body once and then landed on the ground. White Heaven Lord also rotated his body and landed on the ground, letting the impact flow into the air.
And so, a situation where they had each given and received one.
This time too, the person who moved first was the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon, who had drawn his sword instead of a brawl, stepped on the footwork as it was. The Heavenly Demon's Reigning Steps used without internal energy.
There was no pressure to crush the opponent, but instead, the movement was more nimble than before.
In an instant, he reached White Heaven Lord's front, and he swung his sword with his eyes half-open. Although there was no internal energy, due to the maximization of the senses by the fine meridians, the sword was advancing along the grain.
At this, White Heaven Lord also swung his sword along the grain opposite to the Heavenly Demon with his eyes half-open.
Clang!
Different grains and grains met, and sparks flew.
Using the backlash of the sword, the Heavenly Demon spun around and performed the Heavenly Killing, one of the Heavenly Demon Three Swords.
An infinitely clean thrust was aimed at White Heaven Lord.
In response, White Heaven Lord also performed a thrust with the subtlety of a late-starter's advantage.
Another tie.
Swish.
The Heavenly Demon advanced as it was.
Sparks flew from the sword again, and they advanced towards each other.
A battle of guts where if you don't avoid it, you will be stabbed by the approaching sword.
Thud!
White Heaven Lord's sword was embedded in the Heavenly Demon's shoulder.
"You fool!"
The Heavenly Demon's face contorts. The moment White Heaven Lord was about to cut the Heavenly Demon's arm, White Heaven Lord's face contorted at once.
Because the sword was not moving.
"Huh?"
And he saw.
The sword approaching him.
The red energy covering it.
In this space now, the use of the great meridians was prohibited.
But the identity of that energy was clearly a sword qi.
"How?"
With the question, slice! He heard the sound of something falling off his body.
White Heaven Lord looked at his empty left arm.
"The condition applied to the boundary was the prohibition of the use of the great meridians. But it seems that law only applies to the existing great meridians."
White Heaven Lord quickly stopped the bleeding and clicked his tongue.
"Don't tell me you created a new great meridian during the fight?"
Drip.
A nosebleed flows from the Heavenly Demon's nose.
Seeing that, White Heaven Lord quickly realized how ridiculous his words were. And also that he had been deceived.
"I see."
He immediately grasped the current situation.
"You forcibly used your fine meridians instead of your great meridians. As a backlash, your body is a mess right now. Am I wrong?"
The Heavenly Demon did not bother to answer.
And this guess was a perfect answer.
"So what's different?"
Even if he had figured out his intention, the appearance was clearly in the Heavenly Demon's favor.
Grin.
Even though one of his arms was cut off, White Heaven Lord smiled and continued.
"Hehe. You've made the worst move. Heavenly Demon!"
White Heaven Lord immediately released the boundary.
He could feel his great meridians being filled with energy.
If he had inflicted an internal injury on the Heavenly Demon with just one arm, it was a cheap price.
The Heavenly Demon, who had suffered an internal injury, would not be able to use his internal energy normally!
From White Heaven Lord's sword, a strong powerful qi that could not be compared to the faint sword qi rising from the Heavenly Demon's sword was rising.
The Heavenly Demon just stared at it blankly.
White Heaven Lord swung his sword as it was.
Just then, the Heavenly Demon's mouth opened softly.
"Do you know about the second way to use a boundary? If you don't, I'll tell you. Watch carefully."
White Heaven Lord's powerful qi is scattered.
White Heaven Lord quickly realized something.
"Heavenly Demon, you scoundrel! You've adjusted the conditions!"
"You're not a complete fool."
When the boundary and the boundary interlocked, it faced a new phase.
And the Heavenly Demon instinctively realized.
That his own conditions could also change according to the newly changed boundary.
But it was not a big change that deviated from the existing framework.
What the Heavenly Demon had done was specifically the addition of a condition.
First, all living things in the boundary cannot perform the reversal of heaven.
Second, all living things in the boundary can only use yang qi.
At the heat coming from the Heavenly Demon, White Heaven Lord's whole body was drenched in sweat.
"As expected, you are amazing, Heavenly Demon."
Gulp.
White Heaven Lord swallowed a pill.
At that moment, an energy that could not be compared to just now emanated from his body.
The gap created by adding a condition to the boundary.
The weakened first condition.
The reversal of heaven that dug into it.
White Heaven Lord strengthened his great meridians with his fine meridians and raised all the functions of his body by one stage.
And he spread the boundary again.
This time, he also added a condition.
First, all living things in the boundary cannot use the great meridians.
Second, all living things in the boundary cannot use internal energy.
The heat felt from the Heavenly Demon, whose internal energy was prohibited, was quickly cooling down.
However, White Heaven Lord had strengthened his body before spreading the boundary.
"I've won. Heavenly Demon."
White Heaven Lord swung his sword.
The Heavenly Demon released the boundary he had spread, just as White Heaven Lord had done before.
