Chapter 489 – The Supreme Sword (3) ‘Myriad Sword Red Lotus!’ Chwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwa!!!!
The sword forces rising from the ground penetrated and tore through the advancing evil spirits, and even those in a berserk state were helpless against them. The martial artists of the three major forces were astounded at the sight of the ground being stained with blood of various colors. ‘…… Can such a sword truly be wielded by human hands?’ ‘Monster. A true monster.’ ‘How much stronger is he trying to become?’ Whether friend or foe, Mok Gyeong-un’s strength had already transcended normal boundaries to the extent that everyone was trembling. Heum.
Just moments ago, his face had looked as if he was enjoying the amusement, as he had said, but there seemed to be a change in his mindset due to Mok Gyeong-un’s power exceeding expectations. At this, the Golden Heavenly King raised his hand to control the golden ring. Uuuuuuuung!
This was because it had been directly exposed to the ring’s light. -Crush him. The Golden Heavenly King issued an order to the Great Strength King through the ring’s resonating sound. However, ‘!?’ The Great Strength King, whose demonic energy was surging to its limit and about to go berserk, didn’t move in that state. Or rather, it wasn’t that it didn’t intend to move, but it was resisting. This was because Mok Gan, the third eye embedded in the Great Strength King’s forehead, was forcibly preventing the rampage. ‘You dare refuse this king’s command?’ One of the Golden Heavenly King’s eyebrows raised. A mere created being dares to refuse his command? Do you not know what it means to defy your purpose and mission for which you were born? Do you think you can overcome this by resisting like that? Uuuuuuuung!
He thought it would naturally submit to this, but, Eudeuk! Eudeuk!
Mok Gan, who had become one with the Great Strength King, was enduring this with extreme willpower. -Hooh. Seeing him like this, interest arose in the Golden Heavenly King’s eyes. He was puzzled that a mere created being, no matter how much its will had strengthened over a long time, had developed a will strong enough to dare refuse his command. Has it acquired a transcendent desire to the point of forgetting even the fear of its creator? The Golden Heavenly King, who had been puzzled, soon turned his gaze. Since he couldn’t make that one rampage further, he intended to move another of the Six Demons. But, ‘What is this?’ Even before going berserk, they had barely been maintaining a stalemate. So he thought the situation would quickly reverse if he awakened their power to the limit with the Ring of Arden, but they were enduring fiercely. Chak! Chak! Chak! Chak!
As they formed the seals, spell formations appeared on the ground, and, Uuuung! Chwareureureureu!
Of course, even so, the White Great Peng Demon King was strong enough to, “Uaak!” “Keok!” Send the diviners maintaining the spiritual chains flying with just a light flap of its wings. Already nearly half of the diviners had lost their lives, their heads exploding or being pierced by feathers, unable to withstand the White Great Peng Demon King, but the remaining ones were desperately trying to bind it. “Eueueueu.” This was the same for the diviner Yeo Su-rin. Just looking at her haggard face with blood flowing from her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, one could tell how much she was pushing herself. But she didn’t give up. The moment she collapsed here, the White Great Peng Demon King would break free from the One Hundred and Eight Hole Transformation Formation of the Thousand Transformations Golden Wheel great divine tool and drive everyone to a terrible death. Kukukukukukuku!
Having learned that sudden attacks would be returned to itself by the Thousand Transformations Golden Wheel connecting spaces, the White Great Peng Demon King changed its method. It was trying to slowly freeze the wheels themselves to prevent the spaces from connecting. Jjeojeojeojeojeojeok!
“If it breaks free from there……” They would no longer be able to stop it. Thanks to the diviners binding its feet, they had been able to continuously attack to somehow inflict damage on it, but they couldn’t land a proper critical hit. This was because every time they inflicted physical damage on it, it redirected that force like martial artists performing the Pear Blossom Grafting technique. “External attacks are meaningless.” “But that doesn’t mean we should give up. Have you forgotten our ancestors’ teaching that if it doesn’t work, make it work somehow?” “It’s not working, so how can we make it…… Ah!” “Why? Did you think of a good idea?” “…… I did. If the outside doesn’t work, maybe we should try from the inside.” “Wait…… Yoo Moo-jin, you don’t mean?” “Is there anyone willing to die with me?” “You crazy bastard!” The Yoo clan members who read Yoo Moo-jin’s thoughts were momentarily dumbfounded. Does he really want to commit suicide? If it failed, they might just dissolve into the monster’s nutrients. However, unable to think of a better method at the moment, two members of the Yoo clan volunteered for Yoo Moo-jin’s absurd plan. “Then let’s go!” Shuuuuuuu!
As if proving that attacks no longer worked, the White Great Peng Demon King effortlessly withstood their attacks and continued to dye the surroundings with cold energy. Swaaaaaaa!
Although it could redirect the impact, the force concentrated on its abdomen caused the White Great Peng Demon King to involuntarily open its mouth. That was the moment. “Now!” Pat! Shushushuk!
Surprised by the Yoo clan members entering through its throat, the White Great Peng Demon King hurriedly stopped exhaling the cold mist to try and spit them out, attempting to expel cold energy from within. However, Kung! Kung! Kung!
‘It feels pain!’ “Now’s our chance!” Seeing this, the other Yoo clan members who had been waiting for an opportunity also punched the White Great Peng Demon King with all their might. Peopeopeopeopeopeopeopeok!
‘Kkeueueueu!’ The White Great Peng Demon King wasn’t the only one fighting such pain. From the moment they entered its body, Yoo Moo-jin and the Yoo clan members endured the pain of their skin burning and freezing as they punched, fighting against the extreme cold rising from within and the stomach acid that burned their bodies. Peopeopeopeopeopeopeopeok!
Yoo Moo-jin gritted his teeth with desperate resolve, thinking of his father Yoo Moo-jeok. This was a fight to see who would die first. Perhaps this determination had an effect? Gradually, the White Great Peng Demon King’s body began to swell, and small cracks started to appear on its skin. ‘Huh?’ The Golden Heavenly King’s gaze turned towards the Lion-Grasping King. It wasn’t just the White Great Peng Demon King. The Lion-Grasping King was also engaged in a fierce battle with Jin Ye-rin, the Moon Evil Sword Sima Chak, and the experts of the Evil Alliance, unable to charge freely due to being caught by the mysterious techniques of the two Divine Diviners, Grand Divination Master Myeong-ryul and Ahn Gong-yeon. Chachachachachachak!
Hwareureureuruk! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
Not missing this gap, Jin Ye-rin swung her sword wrapped in lightning she had pulled down. Pachichichichichichik!
The sword force enveloped in lightning energy flew from the lightning-wrapped sword like a whip, wrapping around the Lion-Grasping King’s right front paw. Pachichichichichichichi!
At this moment, the Moon Evil Sword Sima Chak, as if he had been waiting for this, flew his body high and swung a large sword finger above the Lion-Grasping King’s back. Uuuuuung!
But at that moment, all the hair on the Lion-Grasping King’s body stood on end as if angered by demonic energy, blocking the formless sword swung by the Moon Evil Sword. Chaeaeaeaeaeaeng!
He had thought that even if it was a bit difficult, it could be sufficiently subdued with a joint attack with Jin Ye-rin before its demonic energy surged from going berserk. But now, that might be difficult. If its demonic energy hardness could block even a formless sword, which was called the extreme of swordsmanship and considered the most powerful, it meant there was no way to penetrate and cut its body. At that moment, the Lion-Grasping King suddenly curled its body. ‘!?’ Condensing, rising demonic energy. Something feels ominous. Feeling wary, Sima Chak tried to shout. “Everyone, dodge……” It was at that very moment. Pachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwa!
Chaechaechaechaechaechaechaechang!
They tried their best to block them, but, Pupupupupupuk!
“Kkeuik!” Unable to withstand the Lion-Grasping King’s hairs imbued with demonic energy, their bodies were penetrated and they lost their lives. Pachachachachachachachachang!
Even they had to stay in place, unable to move, just to block the hairs. Therefore, sacrifices were inevitable. Pupupupupupupuk!
Kkwak!
‘At this rate, we’ll all be done for.’ The Lion-Grasping King’s hairs imbued with demonic energy that kept pouring down endlessly weren’t a problem that could be solved by just continuously blocking. If no one stepped up, the Lion-Grasping King wouldn’t stop attacking until everyone was dead. With this, Jin Ye-rin, resolved to sacrifice her life, flew her body. Pat!
“Don’t!” It was a suicidal act. He understood wanting to block the attack to prevent sacrifices, but if she recklessly tried to break through now, Chaechaechaechaechaechaechang!
As expected, hairs pierced Jin Ye-rin’s shoulder and thigh. Even for someone like her, it was too much to block all those hairs, each with power like a sword force, while fighting against the tremendous demonic energy with each step. ‘Why are you inviting sacrifice? Sacrifice is not the role of the young!’ Pat!
Chachachachachachang!
However, she had already reached close to the Lion-Grasping King, covered in wounds to the point where it was hard to find an uninjured spot. “Haa…… haa……” Pachichichichichik!
Her vision was very blurry. She was dizzy from losing too much blood, but she was betting everything on this one strike. Just as Jin Ye-rin was about to unleash the ultimate technique of the Thunder-Splitting Heavenly Concealed towards the head of the curled-up Lion-Grasping King,
Kwaaaaaaang!
It was so fast that there was no time to dodge. ‘Ah!’ Pak!
A blurry form flickered in her eyes, and she saw it smiling bitterly at her. Chwak!
Amidst the scattering remains, a voice echoed. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.
She didn’t know why, but her heart ached. However, she couldn’t shed tears. Because the Lion-Grasping King’s front paw that had torn apart the blurry something was flying towards her in succession. As she was pushed back, creating a gap, Jin Ye-rin unleashed a sword strike imbued with the Thunder-Splitting Heavenly Concealed. ‘Thunder-Splitting Heavenly Concealed Diligent Thousand One Strong!’ Pachichichichichichik!
The two tremendous forces created whirlwinds in all directions, unleashing an enormous aftermath. ‘Too… strong!’ Jin Ye-rin’s palms holding the sword were torn, and both her arms shook violently. Her body had no uninjured spots due to the flying hairs, and she was dizzy from blood loss. Having recklessly unleashed the ultimate technique, her body couldn’t withstand it. ‘My eyes…’ Her vision gradually blurred. As her strength was about to completely fade, the Lion-Grasping King, seemingly aware of this, lunged forward with its mouth open to devour her. Jjeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeouk!
The moment it closes its jaws, she’ll be crushed by its sharp teeth. ‘I can’t… see…’ Pak! Puk!
“Elder?” It was none other than Sima Chak, the Moon Evil Sword. “You endured well!” With those words, Sima Chak, while preventing the Lion-Grasping King from closing its mouth with the formless sword, created another formless sword with his other hand and tried to stab it into the Lion-Grasping King’s mouth. Uuuuuung!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was literally a lion’s roar. “Aak!” “Keuk!” The roar imbued with the Lion-Grasping King’s full demonic energy, sensing a threat to its life, instantly ruptured Sima Chak and Jin Ye-rin’s eardrums and sent shockwaves to their brains through their ear canals. As a result, their bodies were instantly paralyzed. Stopping at the moment when everything is decided in an instant leads to the worst outcome. Kwadeudeudeuk!
Sima Chak’s pupils shook frantically. ‘Move. Move!’ He didn’t mind dying, but he had to push this child out of the mouth somehow. Please, please, let at least his arms move. Despite his strong will, his body wouldn’t listen. Just as he thought it was going to end so futilely, Pupupupupupupupuk!
Kweoeoeoeoeoeo!
‘What?’ Wondering what on earth was happening, Sima Chak’s eyes caught glimpses of human-shaped forms made of blue light, wielding thousands of swords and rushing towards the Lion-Grasping King. It was a sight like a blue meteor shower flying by. Papapapapapapapapak!
Sima Chak’s gaze turned to Jin Ye-rin. From Jin Ye-rin’s blurry eyes, a light mixed with gold and blood-red flowed out, and the secret text of the Heavenly Concealed in her bosom had somehow slipped out, burning brightly, with someone’s form overlapping it. ‘You!’ It was a familiar face he hadn’t seen in a long time.
