Chapter 152 : The Heavenly Demon Divine Cult Lifts Its Seal (8)
White Heaven Lord felt the boundary spread by the Heavenly Demon disappear and was convinced of his victory, feeling a paradoxical emotion of slight doubt and a sense of accomplishment at the same time.
'Both generations are being killed by me.'
The former Heavenly Demon, Yoo Jin-sung.
The current Heavenly Demon, Hyuk Sa-wol.
If you only look at their skills, they were rare monsters who were by no means inferior to him.
But in a state where their internal energy was sealed, no matter how much they were the Heavenly Demon, they were nothing more than ordinary martial artists.
'The era of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult is now over.'
The moment he was about to witness the first beginning of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult disappearing into the back of history.
He felt a very slight anomaly.
The boundary was shaking.
'What is this?'
And he was able to find the answer to the question right away.
'Is it still immature?'
In the fight with the Heavenly Demon, he had taken one more step forward.
The original law of the White Dance Boundary was one.
But with this fight, he was able to add a second law.
And that was still immature to him.
White Heaven spoke to the Heavenly Demon, who had calm eyes.
"Thank you, Heavenly Demon."
The Heavenly Demon, as if he had already recognized his defeat, was not showing any reaction.
'Because of that, I will rise to a higher place.'
"Huh?"
A question uttered without knowing the reason.
A moment later, his eyes widened.
Roar.
What was emanating from the Heavenly Demon was none other than internal energy.
＊
The current Heavenly Demon, Hyuk Sa-wol, knew.
That his talent was by no means comparable to the previous and the one before that.
Ordinary people usually give up when they see someone who is far superior to them.
Hyuk Sa-wol was also like that.
-You are my younger brother. So don't worry.
But after that day, everything changed.
He thought that his brother's, everyone's consideration was that they didn't recognize his efforts.
-You've suffered a lot because of this incompetent older brother.
There was someone who recognized him.
Although he hadn't done it for someone to recognize his efforts so far, he felt a little acknowledged.
And so, Hyuk Sa-wol was able to dream again the dream he had cherished, the dream he had given up.
Even if he knew that he couldn't achieve that dream, he knew now.
Because dreaming is a luxury, a pleasure, and an ideal that is allowed to everyone.
Who can say anything when I have decided my dream like that!
From then on, Hyuk Sa-wol's dream was to become the Heavenly Demon.
The path to becoming the Heavenly Demon was long and arduous.
It was by no means something that could be reached just by trying.
Moreover, because there was a person in front of him who was more suited to be the Heavenly Demon than anyone else. The gap was felt on his skin.
He had somehow managed to reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm, but the problem was from then on.
Extreme Demon.
For over 10 years, Hyuk Sa-wol had remained at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.
On the other hand, his older brother, who had the Heavenly Dragon Body, had surpassed the Extreme Demon, and his father, who had the Fire Dragon Body, had reached the Transcending Demon.
Compared to that, he, who had nothing.
Hyuk Sa-wol was inevitably blocked by a wall again.
The ideal and the reality were clearly different.
But would he give up!
There was a brother who had even given up his life for him.
Is your dream only this much!
No!
Hyuk Sa-wol abandoned all the methods he had been using so far and started everything anew.
The first of which was to imitate all the people who were superior to him.
To boldly give up what he couldn't do.
That was the appearance that Hyuk Sa-wol had chosen to move forward, which might seem like a loser to others.
Whether it was academics, etiquette, or knowledge, if anyone was superior to him in any one of them, Hyuk Sa-wol would take that person as his teacher and learn and learn until he surpassed him.
When 10 years had passed like that, Hyuk Sa-wol was able to rise to the rank of a master in almost all fields.
Of course, even during that time, the martial prowess of the former Heavenly Demon, Yoo Jin-sung, was advancing to a level that he could not even fathom, and Hyuk Sa-wol's martial prowess was still at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.
However, Hyuk Sa-wol was not as impatient as before.
Because he knew that he couldn't do it even if he tried, and he did what he wanted to do.
As he did so, Hyuk Sa-wol naturally came to know one thing.
That was the way for those without talent to defeat those with talent.
A person cannot be good at everything.
Even if a person looks perfect on the outside, if you look at them one by one, there is surely something they can't do.
On the contrary, every person had at least one thing they were good at.
To find what one is good at rather than what one is not good at and to develop it.
This was the way for those without talent to defeat those with talent.
From this point on, Hyuk Sa-wol went around looking for what his talent was.
As seen before, it was definitely not about martial arts.
If you were to grade his talent in martial arts, it would be about upper-middle.
After numerous worries and challenges, Hyuk Sa-wol was able to find out what his talent was.
Once he knew, he was also able to realize that he had regarded this thing called talent too specially.
Just as it is dark under the lamp, talent was surprisingly right next to him.
What he usually does.
What he enjoys doing when he has time.
What suddenly comes to mind when he has no time.
There was talent in that.
To others, this might be a drawback.
-How about digging into one thing?
His father had given him this advice.
One thing? A good word. But that was a word that only applied to those with talent.
-Sa-wol, this is a martial art that has been improved to suit you. How about learning this?
His older brother had even created a new martial art for him. In the end, it was a martial art that could not be learned unless one had talent.
Hyuk Sa-wol, no matter what the people around him said, advanced towards the path he believed in.
Just as he had been doing so far.
His talent was to boldly give up what he couldn't do, to forget the past, and the courage to challenge new things again, and the mental strength not to give in to failure.
And so, 30 years passed, and Hyuk Sa-wol became the Heavenly Demon.
But once he became the Heavenly Demon, he realized that he had talent, and he just hadn't known because the people next to him were such monsters.
* * *
The 'boundary' seems perfect on the outside, but it is originally an incomplete boundary.
The proof that can prove that is the phenomenon of completion due to the harmony of yin and yang that occurs when different boundaries collide.
Hyuk Sa-wol recognized that he had lost in the battle of wits with White Heaven Lord, Baekseo.
The reality where internal energy cannot be used.
On the other hand, the opponent had strengthened his external skills with internal energy before spreading the boundary.
He knew that he could not defeat the opponent in front of him even if he died and came back to life two, three times, no, just without using internal energy.
The point of this fight is to be able to use internal energy again.
For now, he released the boundary that was of no help.
Now! What should I do?
If he stays like this, it's a natural result that he will die a dog's death.
What Hyuk Sa-wol had to do was simple.
Just to challenge new things like in the old days.
Because that is the only way for a commoner to defeat a genius.
"Reverse Blazing Flame Boundary."
Hyuk Sa-wol spread the yin boundary.
As seen in the previous case, the boundary and the boundary became perfect by achieving the harmony of yin and yang.
If so, what would happen if not yin and yang, but yin and yin, yang and yang boundaries met?
Wouldn't the incomplete boundary become even more incomplete?
It was a simple guess, and an unrealized delusion.
Nevertheless, Hyuk Sa-wol, as he had always done.
He moved forward.
Crack.
A discordant sound was heard from all directions.
"You scoundrel!"
Baekseo's widened eyes and the saliva flowing from the sides of his open mouth showed how surprised he was now.
What happens inside the boundary is a truth like an absolute law.
That was now being broken.
It had happened once before.
Therefore, Hyuk Sa-wol was not flustered.
He was still moving towards the next.
"What on earth have you done!"
As a crack appeared in the law of the boundary, Hyuk Sa-wol was able to use his internal energy.
And he was preparing to spread a new boundary on White Heaven Lord's incomplete boundary.
"I'll ask, Elder Yi."
While pretending to be calm on the outside.
"Hehehe. I don't know what you've done, but do you think you can beat me just because you can use a little internal energy?"
He prepares an attack that will give a fatal wound to the opponent.
"Did you kill the former Heavenly Demon?"
"The Mad World Heavenly Demon, Yoo Jin-sung."
He could tell by fighting him directly.
This Elder Yi was strong.
But he was by no means his older brother's opponent.
"I'll ask. Did a scoundrel like you dare to kill my older brother?"
"Hehehe. It was nothing special. Just like now, we prohibited the use of the great meridians and attacked him with many people. As befitting the one called the Mad World Heavenly Demon. Seeing that he took three former Heavenly Lords with him even in a situation where the use of the great meridians was prohibited."
"I see."
He had heard all the answers he wanted to hear.
"Was that all you were curious about? Then go and ask him yourself. How he died!"
There were no more questions.
As I said before, I had heard everything I needed to hear.
If his older brother had also created an anomaly in a situation where the great meridians were prohibited, it was proof that what he was imagining in his head now was not just a delusion.
The Reverse Blazing Flame Boundary he had spread is a yin boundary.
The White Dance Boundary spread by White Heaven Lord is also a yin boundary.
And now, a situation where yin and yin have met and the harmony of yin and yang is broken.
If so, what would happen if the harmony of yin and yang was achieved again?
Hyuk Sa-wol spread the boundary again.
"Blazing Flame Boundary."
The yang boundary spread by Hyuk Sa-wol met the yin boundary, the White Dance Boundary.
Before, the two different boundaries would have chosen conflict, not coexistence.
But now, the incompleteness of the boundary spread by White Heaven Lord was getting bigger and bigger.
White Heaven Lord felt the strength draining from his body. At the same time, he felt a wriggling power in his dantian.
"Don't tell me!"
White Heaven Lord, who had realized something.
But the Heavenly Demon's reaction was faster.
White Heaven Lord's eyes widened in surprise at the Heavenly Demon who had reached his front before he knew it.
His arm went up to push away the Heavenly Demon who had come close, and his leg was about to kick off the ground to distance himself from the Heavenly Demon.
At that moment.
The Heavenly Demon's hand touched White Heaven Lord's body.
"You scoundrel! You've created a new complete boundary by complementing the incomplete yin boundary with your own yang boundary!"
White Heaven Lord's prediction was right in the first part, but wrong in the second part.
The boundary that had become incomplete due to Hyuk Sa-wol, the second law that had been added late-
[All living things in the boundary cannot use internal energy.]
-was released.
However, since the first law was still being applied, the complete use of internal energy was difficult.
What Hyuk Sa-wol had created was not a completely new boundary.
He had only managed to twist the law applied to the boundary.
What he had twisted was just two characters.
The original first law.
[All living things in the boundary cannot use the great meridians.]
The changed first law.
[All living things in the boundary cannot use the fine meridians.]
The White Heaven Lord, Elder Yi, in front of him was a genius.
And the Heavenly Demon, Hyuk Sa-wol, was a commoner.
However, he knew how a commoner could defeat a genius.
"It's over."
White Heaven Lord screamed at the enormous heat boiling in his body.
"Aaaargh!"
Soon, a burning smell came, and the ashes that had burned up were scattering in the air.
The Heavenly Demon looked at the empty space and opened his mouth.
"I have dealt with the last rat. Tell all the followers. As of today, the seal of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult is lifted."
An answer was heard from the empty space.
"Yes, sir!"
* * *
The huge castle was surprisingly quiet.
Yoo Jae-ha was walking around and then stopped in the middle.
"I never thought I'd see you here."
A woman standing alone and aloof.
"I've always wanted to kill you someday, but I'm lucky today."
He had finally met his junior sister.
