Chapter 864
At that moment, Cheonwoo stepped forward.
Composure settled across Cheonwoo’s face.
“Hyeong. If I burn my true origin qi, I might be able to withstand at least one exchange.”
“I won’t allow such a death. Cheonwoo.”
“That’s right! This isn’t even Donggwi Eojin—it’s just a dog’s death! Third Hyeong!”
Then what should be done?
“Hyeong, isn’t there some way?! We examined so many things and even destroyed the torches on the way down.”
Jin Cheon-hee bit his lip.
I could die like this and turn back time.
But hadn’t I sworn not to do so?
A vow made with my Master.
‘To struggle with all my might until the very end!’
Jin Cheon-hee made his decision.
“Damn it! I was originally planning to save this as my final card!”
With those words, he twisted the Bing Jeong Sword and cried out loudly.
“Swift as law and order! Let heaven become earth and mystery become yellow!”
In that instant.
Jin Cheon-hee drove the Bing Jeong Sword vertically into the ground.
Frigid energy spread outward in all directions.
The sword wrapped in qi carved through the floor and lodged itself, and simultaneously the world inverted.
Space itself fractured like shards of glass, and at the same time the landscape all around transformed drastically.
It resembled a maze constructed from glass mirrors—a configuration where one could not discern where they stood.
Within such a space, Eon Jeong-mu’s wave of qi rebounded upon himself according to the distortion of space.
Crash!
His own power collided with himself.
Sama Hyeon spoke in astonishment.
“The mirror formation technique you demonstrated in the lodging?”
“Similar. Thanks to that Sama person upstairs, I realized a mirror formation technique was possible here as well.”
Jin Cheon-hee still refused to use his name.
Between those explosions, within the grotesquely transformed space, Jin Cheon-hee pulled the sword from the ground.
Then he spoke to everyone through the Six Harmonies Transmission.
[Originally, this was a move I would have hidden until the very end, so I can only use it once. Therefore!]
He drew the hand holding the sword back behind his shoulder, positioning it horizontally.
With the opposite hand, he extended only two fingers rigidly while curling the remaining fingers as if making a fist.
In that posture, he pointed precisely at Eon Jeong-mu and awakened his spirit technique.
Will meets martial art and warps the world.
Taeul Danseonggeom Spirit Technique Severing—Taeul Seon Gwan.
Transcending that power once more.
Transcendent Spirit Technique Taeul Seon Geuk Gwan.
A single streak of azure-white light from the Taeul Danseonggeom divides the world.
Thousands of mirror-like crystalline worlds snap back into their original forms, and the blade’s energy from the Taeul Danseonggeom had already pierced through Eon Jeong-mu’s chest.
Boom!
A small explosion erupts within Eon Jeong-mu’s body of Kang Si-gong transformation.
The energy composing his form ripples and wavers unstably, yet it seems he has not suffered any critical damage.
Whoosh!
He hurtles toward Jin Cheon-hee, defying gravity itself.
With space restored to its natural state, there’s nothing to hinder him!
But from both sides, Sama Hyeon and Jin Cheon-woo descend upon him like protective hawks.
Deploying the Yang Divine Art!
Ten-Stage Gold Shimmoo
Taiji Ten Gold!
Taeching Mountain Water Shimmoo
Primordial Extreme Mountain!
What Cheon-woo unfolds are the two supreme divine arts of the Mudang Faction.
Ten-Stage Gold is a palm technique that concentrates ultimate force into a single point, while Taeching Mountain Water is a hand technique that disperses and penetrates the opponent’s power.
When both supreme arts unfold simultaneously at the Shimmoo realm, the Primordial Extreme Mountain of Taeching Mountain Water scatters Eon Jeong-mu’s Kang Si-gong transformation, exposing his original flesh body.
The exposed flank is then struck decisively by the Ten-Stage Gold Shimmoo Taiji Ten Gold.
From the opposite side, Sama Hyeon’s dual palms approach like dragon claws, seizing Eon Jeong-mu’s arm.
Golden Heart Divine Art Shimmoo
Golden Heaven Below!
Golden energy concentrated to its absolute limit.
In terms of energy density alone, it approaches the strength of hardened steel.
When it collides with the energy of other divine arts.
The golden energy can overwhelm the qi of other martial techniques.
That power suppresses and annihilates Eon Jeong-mu’s spirit-returning ghost-commanding energy, and seizes his arm directly.
Crack—
Then a terrifying grip strength twists and crushes the arm hardened like metal.
A two-sided assault from Cheon-woo and Sama Hyeon.
One tears at the arm while the other strikes the flank.
Yet.
Boom—!
Energy expands throughout his entire Kang Si-gong transformation body, detonating in a massive explosion.
Sama Hyeon’s eyes widen.
“Wow, even for an ancient ruin, this is a bit unfair…!”
“Hyeon-a. Brace yourself!”
Crash—!!
Both Cheon-woo and Sama Hyeon are blown backward by the violent explosion.
Just before the blast, Cheon-woo deploys the Taiji Circle to dissipate the force, while Sama Hyeon uses Earth-form Protection to leap backward, evading in an instant.
The ground where they stood is now deeply cratered.
“Phew, if I hadn’t dodged that, I’d be minced meat~?”
“Brutally strong. If I hadn’t trained in external cultivation, just grazing me would have torn my skin off.”
“Yeah~ all that insane external cultivation training is really paying off.”
That was true.
Both of them had mastered external cultivation to a high degree thanks to Jin Cheon-hee, allowing them to evade with only minor internal injuries.
However, soon both of their expressions filled with shock.
While they had suffered only slight internal injuries, their opponent was different.
A severe wound was rapidly ‘reversing’ itself at incredible speed.
“Wow~ this is insane?”
“Sorcery! So it really is a corpse demon of the Reverse Heaven….”
[Hyeong! Can you really not use that technique again~?]
[I already told you. It was a formation deployed by forcibly drawing the energy of this place! It’s difficult to use again!]
Jin Cheon-hee answered through sound transmission while thrusting his sword forward in place of his siblings who were knocked back.
His movements were like perfectly meshed gears.
Even in the instant his siblings were driven back, he pressed forward with no gaps whatsoever.
This time, targeting that brow, he used Shimmoo’s Taeul Danseonggeom instead of Transcendent Shimmoo.
Even so, the speed was beyond what the eye could follow!
Whoosh!
However.
Eon Jeong-mu evaded that attack by tilting his head to the side, then floated through the air toward Jin Cheon-hee.
‘He’s not creating waves of energy like before.’
But he changed his stance.
‘Is it close combat this time?’
Sama Hyeon sent a sound transmission.
[Hyeong. We collided once before, and if he’s in the state of Kang-gi Mythology, just direct contact with his body would shatter us~ from there on, it’s not a matter of external cultivation.]
Damn it.
Since he had already become energy itself, that’s how it was.
It was truly offense and defense as one.
‘This…. I need more information!’
An absolute master who manifested Kang-gi Mythology!
Since this was the first time actually witnessing it, Jin Cheon-hee thought calmly.
First, the tremendous volume of energy was the problem.
Waves of energy.
A body transformed into energy.
All of it was overwhelmingly powerful.
‘But truly, should I call him Eon Jeong-mu.’
The precision and speed of his techniques were far inferior to Jin Cheon-hee, Cheonwoo, and Sama Hyeon.
‘I never thought Eon Jeong-mu’s half-hearted training life would be so fortunate.’
It seemed he had innate talent to some degree, and it seemed he had tried his best in his own way.
But compared to what the three of them had accomplished, his effort was far from sufficient.
Combat experience was no different.
‘That’s right. No matter how much one reaches the Hyeongyeong realm, practical combat experience doesn’t simply materialize out of thin air.’
Though he wielded strong qi with the mastery of a mature Hyeongyeong, the clumsy execution of his techniques proved it.
He must feel his own realm as jumbled and chaotic as well.
It seemed I wasn’t the only one sensing this.
“Customer, where are you going~?”
Right behind Eon Jeong-mu as he tried to approach me.
Sama Hyeon attached himself and unleashed the hand-strengthening qi of the Golden Divine Art.
Boom!
Yet Eon Jeong-mu endured the strong qi with his back and rushed toward me even faster, swinging both hands.
His two hands, like a windmill of strong qi, moved to crush me.
‘I see it!’
But I had already fought against Eon-gwon Gaju, who had mastered the Donggwi Eojin Corpse Art.
And I had witnessed the fierce battle between Eon Jeon-mu, the first-floor Gatekeeper, and Cheonwoo.
Therefore, I had already pierced through the patterns of the Hyeonwon Jeondan Singeong.
Being able to perceive meant being able to predict.
Whoosh!
I evaded the attack by the narrowest margin.
Then I drew my sword wrapped in ice-crystalline qi and pierced Eon Jeong-mu’s exposed ribs.
Screech-crack-crack-crack!
A grotesque sound erupted.
Yet I could distinctly feel the blade boring deep inside.
That sensation swordsmen call the feel of the blade.
I forcefully poured the Five Elements strong qi into it.
Whiiiing!
The ice-crystalline blade trembled as it drove the Five Elements strong qi, not ice-crystalline qi, through the blade into Eon Jeong-mu’s body.
When the Five Elements true qi mutually generated and restrained each other, churning through his insides, even the most superior corpse would malfunction.
Though this creature appeared formidable, its essence was ultimately that of a corpse.
That was what I had targeted.
“Re… remarkable. To analyze the weakness in an instant. Truly worthy of the Jegallim Family. Eon Jeong-mu is impressed.”
Whoosh.
With those words, Eon Jeong-mu’s strong qi transformation halted.
“However, that doesn’t mean Eon Jeong-mu stops.”
Yet his two hands still blazed with fierce strong qi.
Those hands became nuclear warheads descending toward my head.
“Brother!”
Boom!
While Sama Hyeon attacked, Cheonwoo was not idle either.
With his keen eyes, Cheonwoo found the opening and with his massive hand, he intercepted Eon Jeong-mu’s hands.
To protect his brother!
Cheonwoo’s grip tightened, his hand clashing against Eon Jeong-mu’s in a contest of raw strength, his skin splitting open.
“Krraaahhh!”
Cheonwoo screamed in unbearable agony.
Just once.
One chance to reach my brother.
That’s why I perfected the Transcendent Shimmoo Art.
Everything was for this single strike!
It didn’t matter whether the opponent was Hyeongyeong or not.
What mattered was that I had saved my brother once.
Meanwhile, Eon Jeong-mu’s hand, being that of Kang Si-gong, possessed the Indestructible Diamond Body, so it suffered no damage.
He merely watched with indifference as Cheonwoo’s skin burned and cooked like meat over fire.
Cheonwoo clenched his teeth against the excruciating pain.
“H-hyeong! While I hold him off, hurry…!”
“Got it!”
I couldn’t flee from here.
I couldn’t abandon Cheonwoo’s sacrifice and run.
So.
Jin Cheon-hee concentrated on forcing more Five Elements Divine Art into his blade.
Whoooosh!
Smoke poured from Eon Jeong-mu’s nose, mouth, and ears.
His insides were burning away from the Five Elements Divine Art.
“Tch, pointless effort.”
In that moment, Eon Jeong-mu raised his other hand again.
“Oh dear. Our customer is quite the troublemaker~!”
And this time, Sama Hyeon approached and seized the remaining hand.
Sama Hyeon’s both hands burned and charred as well.
Moreover, even with Sama Hyeon’s grip strength, that wrist didn’t break.
In the midst of excruciating pain, Sama Hyeon laughed with a twisted grin.
“Hyeong. Hurry…!”
‘Fall now, you bastard!’
Jin Cheon-hee pushed the blade deeper with all his might.
Boom!
He felt an explosion at the sword’s tip.
In a sensation as if the world had stopped, Jin Cheon-hee immediately released his grip on the blade.
“Everyone, scatter!”
Jin Cheon-hee retreated using Cheongi Miribu.
Cheonwoo withdrew backward using Cloud Ladder Step.
Sama Hyeon leaped back using Earth Form Technique.
And the moment that brief instant passed, cracks spread across Eon Jeong-mu’s entire body, black smoke pouring out before he exploded like a supernova.
Kwaaaaa-rung!
My fine hair stands on end.
As if a miniature sun were being forged, the qi undulated and trembled before spreading outward.
The explosion of swelling qi gave off a terror as though it would grind the very world to dust.
Jin Cheon-hee, Sama Hyeon, Cheonwoo.
All three wielded their ultimate techniques, expanding their power to suppress the advancing wall of qi bearing down upon them.
What I unleashed was the final pinnacle of the Five Elements Divine Art—the Five Elements Apocalypse!
A life-saving ultimate technique that maximized explosive force by pushing the mutual restraint of the Five Elements to its absolute limit.
“Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean it’s over. Isn’t this going too far, you bastard! Damn it!”
What Sama Hyeon used was the Golden Heart Art’s Golden True Explosion!
“Hoo~ It’s been a while since I heard hyeong curse!”
An ultimate technique that compressed the densely-packed qi of the Golden Divine Art even further before detonating it.
Cheonwoo too drew forth all of his power.
“We don’t have time to talk. Focus, everyone!”
The Tai Chi rises from both hands, beginning to return all things to non-action.
It was the Tai Chi Divine Art’s Yin-Yang Combined Wall—a technique that could only be used one step beyond Tai Chi Fist!
The ultimate techniques of three masters collide with the sun of qi.
