The Broken Ranker

Devours Myths

Chapter 241

Sata Wang (4)

[Nezha’s Yin-Yang Sword pours down lightning!]

[Nezha’s Wind Fire Wheels spin violently, adding to the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Covering’s firepower!]

[Nezha’s Universe Ring attempts to bind the opponent’s hands and feet!]

…

Crackle—

Kwaaaaang!!

Kwakwang! Kwang! Rumble!!

The nickname for Nezha in the heavens is Treasure God.

It was given not just because he possessed countless treasures like Hermes of 【Olympus】, but because they were connected like living organisms.

However,

Son Wukong deflected them all one by one without sustaining a single wound.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…!

It was because the power of his proud fighting techniques was that strong.

“There are definitely sacred relics that my disciple beat out of you, so did you mass-produce new sacred relics in the meantime?”

“….”

“Hey, say something at least? This is frustrating as hell.”

“….”

“Ugh, someone needs to do something about that mouth first.”

Son Wukong pounded his chest with his fist as if frustrated.

Nezha had always been a man of few words since ancient times.

He was also slow to the point of seeming dull.

Therefore, it seemed like he wouldn’t get along well with the impatient Son Wukong,

but surprisingly, those aspects complemented each other well, allowing them to become close friends.

Of course, the result was nothing but betrayal.

‘Was I the only one who thought we were friends?’

So while Son Wukong was smiling warmly, his Golden Eyes of Truth had grown cold.

‘By the way, our big brother…. He’s created quite a nice stage for us.’

On the other hand, he felt grateful to the Bull Demon King.

He had planned to open the door to the heavens himself once he fully regained his power and punish the Jade Emperor,

but the Bull Demon King, who was even more impatient than himself, had initiated the war with 【Heavenly Doctrine】 first.

‘Since he can’t go to the heavens right now, he’s making those bastards come down instead. What an interesting idea.’

Although it was disappointing that he couldn’t open the door with his own hands, this wasn’t bad in its own way.

After all, he could see the faces of the Jade Emperor and Nezha, whom he most wanted to see.

‘But… it seemed like something was connected between that kid and big brother…. No way? Huh? Could it be?’

No matter how well Lee Hyeon could talk, he doubted the Bull Demon King’s firmly closed heart could have opened so quickly,

but still, he wondered what had happened—the way those two were sticking together so naturally was bothering him.

At this rate, all of the Seven Great Sages and even the Three Law Kings would end up gravitating toward Lee Hyeon.

‘Acting all cool when he came out, Isan also left everything to that kid, so maybe…. Ugh, damn it. He’s not making more Chosen One contracts while I’m not looking, is he?’

While he was unnecessarily worrying, Nezha suddenly readjusted his grip on his weapons.

Son Wukong also returned from his idle thoughts to reality and brightened his Golden Eyes of Truth even more.

It seemed like the guy was going to fight again.

Whoosh!

“Come forth, Ruyi.”

At that moment, a golden staff suddenly rose from the ground.

Son Wukong lightly pulled out the Ruyi Jingu Bang and spun it, then took a slightly lowered starting stance.

Thunk!

The warm-up ended here.

From now on, he intended to truly return to being the Great Sage Equal to Heaven of the past and fight.

But then,

“Why did you come back?”

Suddenly, Nezha spoke for the first time.

A heavy, low voice.

Son Wukong frowned.

“What are you talking about? Don’t mumble to yourself and speak properly.”

“I asked why you came back.”

“You’re not seriously calling that a question, are you?”

“If you hadn’t come back, if you had just stayed on the surface like before, no one would have paid attention to you.”

“….”

“Then there would have been no more chaos, no more troublesome matters. So why did you come back?”

A tone as if suppressing something tightly.

It seemed like he had much more he wanted to say, but appeared to be holding back as much as possible.

All emotion completely drained from Son Wukong’s expression.

“Hey, so you’re saying I should have just stayed put after getting beaten up like that? Are you in your right mind?”

“….”

Nezha’s mouth closed tightly again.

But Son Wukong didn’t care at all.

“And you seem to have forgotten, but I’m Son Wukong. The one who earned the name Great Sage Equal to Heaven.”

His heart had already been decided long, long ago.

The day he fell from heaven.

The day he first opened his eyes on the surface.

Son Wukong had always been thinking the same thing.

Someday,

someday….

He would truly show them what the name ‘Equal to Heaven (conquering the heavens)’ really meant.

He would remind them who he was and plant that terror in the heavens once again.

Defeating Nezha and expelling the Jade Emperor

was still just the first step in his plan to rise again.

“So come at me. Stop flapping your mouth.”

“….”

Nezha seemed to have something he wanted to say as his lips twitched slightly, then he pressed them firmly into a straight line again,

Whirrrr!!

Screeeech—

He began accelerating the Wind Fire Wheels on his feet tremendously and started running rapidly across the ground.

Flames remained like a tail where he had been.

“Yeah. That’s it.”

The moment Son Wukong smiled broadly,

Whoosh—

He launched his body forward.

[【Correction】 work begins to partially recreate the damaged myth of 【Journey to the West】!]

* * *

[‘Sacred Relic: Yarhibol’s Ember’ has ceased the brainwashing operation it was controlling.]

[The leash of Sata King has been destroyed!]

Crack!

Sata King. The collar around his neck, who was called U.C.O., an unidentified existence to humans, began to crack,

Boom!!

Soon it shattered into pieces with an explosion and scattered.

And,

[The demonic energy is lifting!]

The black shadow covering Sata King’s true form was completely washed away and disappeared.

Whoosh-

All the demonic energy flowed along the ground and was sucked toward the Bull Demon King.

At the same time, the Bull Demon King’s presence grew significantly.

[The Bull Demon King’s rank has increased!]

[The power of Pangu and Honyaosan is enhanced.]

‘As expected… You weren’t just leaving Sata King alone. Like with Jiaoma Wang, you secretly divided your essence to protect him this time too.’

While a warm smile crossed Lee Hyeon’s lips, Sata King’s size gradually decreased.

From the form of a giant male lion demon with a magnificent mane, he shrank considerably until he reached human form.

In Lee Hyeon’s arms as he landed on the ground was now a muscular man with wildly disheveled hair like a savage.

The impression of a bold handsome man.

“You… are…”

Then, Sata King’s eyes trembled and opened slightly as he looked at Lee Hyeon.

Quietly settled eyes. No trace of demonic energy could be seen anymore.

“We already exchanged greetings a moment ago, didn’t we?”

“That’s… right. So it wasn’t a dream?”

Sata King remembered fragments of what he had seen while wandering in a trance-like state.

The meeting with the Bull Demon King, and the meeting with other brothers he thought he’d never see again.

And this child who came down like a lifeline.

“Yes. It was all real.”

“Haha… That’s right, isn’t it? The brothers finally…!”

“Your body must be unwell, so please rest first. Wuyong Wang is also inside.”

“Even the sixth…?”

Joy briefly flickered across Sata King’s face, then he gradually sank into Lee Hyeon’s shadow.

He was sending him to Flower Fruit Mountain like Wuyong Wang. There were many healing remedies there, so he could rest comfortably.

Sata King’s rank was still very unstable.

“Thank… you. Truly…”

Sata King closed his eyes completely with those words of gratitude as his last. That voice left a strangely deep resonance.

“I’m the one who should be grateful. That you’re alive and well. I didn’t want to see the other brothers grieving.”

Lee Hyeon slowly stood up, recalling his own appearance from four years ago.

And,

Thud…!!

He struck the ground with Dueokshin’s molar and turned his head toward the west.

Whoosh!

Crackle!!

[Thunder Eye Clarity firmly fixes the target and begins searching!]

“Now, shall I start as well?”

Just then, all kinds of bird flocks were attempting to glide toward this direction.

[The myth ‘King of the Western Birds’ is approaching!]

Lee Hyeon roughly threw four of Dueokshin’s front teeth toward them.

Rumble!!

Roar-

Flash! Flash!!

[Dueoksini’s Thunder Breath (SSS) draws the Sacred Relic’s destructive power to its maximum!]

[Adding newly collected lightning properties. Addition successful thanks to Gingoa’s auxiliary calculations.]

…

[Indra glares at you with a stern expression!]

…

[The epic of 【Sahon】 breathes dragon’s breath!]

[Yarhibol’s Ember adds firepower to all forces!]

…

[Dueoksini’s Specter rains down!]

Where Dueokshin’s front teeth flew, tremendous Air-Rending Force along with thunder shook the world.

There, lightning collected while facing 【Deva】 was also heavily concentrated, boasting tremendous destructive power.

Now it had reached a level that even top rankers could never ignore.

“…!?”

Naturally, the birds trying to target Lee Hyeon were so surprised they had no choice but to hastily evacuate,

And the lightning bolt changed direction mid-flight, roughly clawing through the middle of the flock.

The sight of dozens and hundreds of birds falling to the ground, charred black, was horrific to behold.

Especially when landing on the ground, those who barely managed to land in human form were all in poor physical condition.

The immortal legion.

Among them, the Blessed Disciples of Suohe Jintian, Feng Jinghao’s inheritance.

‘How on earth…!’

‘We heard he handles lightning energy, but to this extent!?’

‘We definitely received the blessing of immortality, so why!?’

They looked shocked as 20% of their total strength was blown away before even clashing with Lee Hyeon.

They were all the greatest beneficiaries of the Immortal Project.

Through various experiments, they knew well that their regenerative abilities were incomparably superior to ordinary Hunters, and their divine magic power output was also tremendous.

So when they came to eliminate Lee Hyeon following Feng Jinghao’s orders, they thought the battle would end very monotonously.

Because they would be invincible on the battlefield.

But,

‘Why isn’t the blessing activating! Why!!’

Screech!!

[Dueoksini’s Rage explodes!]

At that moment, Lee Hyeon had already become a flash and was in front of the soldier at the lead.

Lee Hyeon was smiling coldly as if he already knew all his thoughts.

“You’re dying of curiosity, aren’t you? Why the regeneration that was working fine suddenly stopped working and you’re all dying?”

“…!?”

“It’s simple. Just kill them before they can activate it, right?”

“…!!”

Before the soldier could say anything, Dueokshin’s molars blew the guy’s head clean off.

Splat!!

Whoooosh-

Blood spurted up, then instantly evaporated and disappeared in the heat Lee Hyeon was radiating.

The corpse too had turned to charcoal from the current that spread from the wound’s cross-section.

With overwhelming output as his foundation, he had destroyed all the cells before regeneration could even activate.

Moreover, the basic nature of the Lightning attribute was anti-demon.

Those who had completed their awakening by extracting demonic energy from Sata Wang were merely Demons.

From the start, those guys could never be Lee Hyeon’s match.

Lee Hyeon was nothing short of their natural enemy.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Lee Hyeon began creating multiple staircases of condensed Somersault Cloud throughout the air, freely traversing the sky.

Splat! Splat!

Crackle-

“Stop him!!”

“Subdue him before the Lightning activates… Gack!!”

As the Ruyi Jingu Bang came shooting out in succession, sweeping away the enemies like a whip,

Lee Hyeon’s Thunder Eye remained firmly fixed on one spot.

There was someone hovering while watching this way, with the sky at his back.

It was a face from his memories.

Back then he had neat clothing and features, but now he boasted a rough fighting spirit like a savage.

“Feng Jinghao.”

Lee Hyeon’s lips twisted.

“We finally meet.”

[Activating ‘Divine Authority: Thunder Ghost of Dueokshin’!]

The moment Lee Hyeon became a being of light completely covered in Blue-White Lightning,

he roughly struck the Ruyi Jingu Bang and shot up into the air.

Kwaaaaang!!

A trajectory drawn out long with a tremendous sonic boom.

Contrails remained like a long tail where he had passed at subsonic speed.

Rumble…!!
