Chapter 157. The Lesser Heavenly Demon (4)
〖Cheonma Bidong – Zones 51~89 – The Realm of Reformation〗
〖Objective: Pass the trial of the Heavenly Demon Spirit.〗
〖Reward: Heavenly Demon title granted, second condition payment〗
Upon arriving at Zone 51, I found myself in an empty cavity devoid of all else. Immediately, I unleashed the Bloom of Evil Doctrine, and in the same breath, I activated the Bloom of Good Doctrine while unfurling Lucifer’s wings.
In an instant, the divine power and blood of the Divine Being that had been raging wildly within my body began to stabilize. Because I stood upon the flesh of Demon and the land of Demon God Territory, that radiant, rebellious force suddenly grew docile as if returning home, obedient to my will.
“Phew… had I been even a moment slower, I would have lost the Divine Blood entirely.”
Though I had gained the power of Arrogance and obtained the Chaos Body, the moment I summoned and applied both Evil Doctrine and Demon God Territory simultaneously, I had no choice but to clash with the divine power.
Unlike others, my body wouldn’t rupture from the collision of these two forces, but a penalty undoubtedly existed.
‘I must resolve this issue if I’m to use the Primordial Harmony Divine Art.’
With merely the amount of divine power and demonic energy I currently possessed, I couldn’t even properly execute the first form of the Primordial Harmony Divine Art. That’s how profound and extraordinary this martial art truly is.
For now, I slowly melded the Divine Blood into my flesh, closing my eyes quietly as I began to contemplate my physique. The body elevated rapidly by Consumption, the magical power of Arrogance, and the additional abilities layered upon them—I could now clearly understand what the power of Consumption truly was.
‘It’s absurd.’
Devouring everything a single individual possesses and absorbing it into myself. I could now fully comprehend how unreasonable such a thing truly was.
“My stats have reached C-rank.”
All of it—the Infinite Void of fundamental essence, the Divine Meridian, and Arrogance—barely scraped by at (1/100) each. Yet with this, I had become an S-rank Hunter.
As I clenched my fist, overwhelming power dominated my entire body, and the magical power of Arrogance unleashed an even more intense force. But it didn’t stop there. The transformation continued as if I had broken through a wall.
Having absorbed a martial master of championship-contender caliber and obtained their abilities directly, perhaps because I had redirected the consumed power through the elevation of my own forces.
The Divine Meridian of Infinite Void, which had been blocked, suddenly surged upward as if a sealed meridian had burst open, undergoing a dramatic transformation.
〚Authority: Divine Meridian of Infinite Void
Grade: Origin
Rank: Origin

Infinite Martial granted me an even more evolved stat. A stat integrating Infinite Martial and Divine Meridian—the totality of boundless power without end. Infinite Void.
The stat itself, like an ability, transcended the limits of grade and was reborn as an independent, supreme existence.
“This is utterly ridiculous.”
S-rank, I said? Wrong. At C-rank now, I possessed a body that wouldn’t falter even against an SS-rank Hunter.
Overwhelming power erupted from my entire being with such intensity that comparison to moments before felt insulting.
“Wait—authority-grade stats actually exist?”
Astonishing. Such power exists. I swallowed hard, rubbed my eyes, and only after checking the status window several times did I realize this was the true power that authorities possessed.
And it didn’t end there. The transformation of my body bestowed upon me new insight and abilities as well.
Infinite Void Eye. In a word, it was an eye that dramatically increased my comprehension of anything related to the Infinite Void simply by observing it. Furthermore, I could now freely modify all abilities related to the Infinite Void.
I could combine things I favored to create new synergies, or disassemble things I didn’t like among my possessions to use as materials.
“Satisfactory.”
Before the final integration into the Infinite Void, the Divine Meridian opened a path for my three constitutions to advance one step further. The Demon God Constitution was originally an authority, so its power merely amplified, but the Chaos Constitution and Heavenly Demon Constitution didn’t just elevate to authority—they became even more powerful.
Since arriving at the Jigo Murim, the Infinite Void Divine Meridian was what enjoyed the most dramatic transformation. Considering that Equivalent Exchange, which possessed the highest level among other authorities, was still only level 4, this growth could only be described as explosive.
No, Predation created this. It was the result of pouring all the power I devoured—excluding stats—entirely into the Infinite Void Divine Meridian, which was most essential for a Murim master’s abilities.
It was the result of grinding up one SS-rank Hunter. I contentedly organized my body. But it wasn’t over yet. I didn’t stop my observation and continued with my eyes closed, concentrating.
As I adapted to the changes, the Divine Blood, which had absorbed everything down to the last drop into my body, finally unleashed its power.
Divine Blood. A celestial elixir, but a more transcendent one. While ordinary celestial elixirs had reduced efficacy when consuming lower-grade versions after absorbing higher grades, Divine Blood was an exception.
Yes, it was a celestial elixir that transcended such limitations—like the pure nectar and primordial spring water I had consumed immediately after my regression.
Why would it not be a celestial elixir created from the ultimate ability of one of the Three Heavenly Sacred Treasures?
〚Divine Blood absorption has reached 100% completion!〛
The essence of divinity. A liquid compressing everything divine. The supreme celestial elixir. The moment it completely dissolved into my body!
〚The true nature of Divine Blood is revealed.〛
〚It is the blood of the Divine Being that reacted most intensely to you!〛
〚The great Titan who dominated the primordial heavens—Uranus!〛
My body began heating up rapidly. Tremendous pressure spread throughout my entire physique, and something within me transformed.
“Krraaaaaahhh!”
A different kind of transformation began, distinct from bone replacement and skin shedding, accompanied by excruciating pain.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The three forces dwelling in my body reacted most violently. None other than the Titan’s powers. They wagged their tails like dogs meeting their master, revering the blood that dwelt within my body.
The blood amplified and expanded, spreading throughout my body. A single drop had already grown to dominate half of my blood.
Furthermore, my inventory forcibly opened, revealing a single item—something whose purpose, abilities, and everything else I had never understood, a useless burden.
〚Item: Heart of Heaven
Grade: Mythic
Rank: EX+
Description: The heart containing everything of the greatest and mightiest heavens. Should you truly obtain this power, you shall become the true master of the heavens.

It was the item I had purchased from the Special Shop that the System granted after subjugating the Imoogi, spending the vast wealth I had barely accumulated through the Achievement of subjugating the Imoogi alone.
The moment I coughed up blood from my mouth along with the pain, the Heart of Heaven flew in as if it had been waiting and absorbed the blood, then began to pulse.
The jewel-like creature that seemed to have the sky embedded directly into it began to beat, and immediately began to bloom with tremendous power.
“Gasp!”
It seeped into my body. I reflexively tried to block it, but it was futile. The Heart of Heaven settled directly where my heart had been.
Soon after, my heart transformed. Into an item. Should I rejoice at this, or grieve?
The transformation was nearly complete. Writhing on the ground in agony, I gazed helplessly at the messages materializing before my eyes.

I had suddenly ceased to be human. No, I had always known this day would come eventually, but I had assumed I would become a Demon, or rather a Demon God.
“A Half-Titan, all of a sudden.”
My body still retained its human form. I wondered if only my race had changed, but my physical strength had undeniably grown stronger compared to moments before.
“This is insane. Absolutely insane.”
I was becoming an absurd existence plastered with fortunate coincidences. And on top of that, the item whose seal had just been released and was beginning to display its true power was equally ridiculous.
〚Item: Heart of the Sky
Tier: Primordial
Grade: EX+
LV 1 (0%)
Description: The heart containing all that was greatest and mightiest in the heavens. Should you truly obtain this power, you shall become the true master of the sky. The seal on this ancient legacy has been partially released.
Abilities
-All Stats +30 increase
-Internal Energy (Mana) Recovery Speed +10,000% increase
-Stat: Celestial Sky (Origin) Generated
-Limited Special Skill: Wrath of the Heavens (Origin) LV 1 Available (Cooldown: One Month)
-LV 2 Unlocked〛
With this, the additional stats I gain through various abilities and items alone amount to seventy. If I fill just thirty more, I could aim for the next tier.
And look at those absurd abilities. With recovery speed increased a hundredfold, it’s no exaggeration to say I recover instantly after casting nearly any skill.
I smiled with satisfaction and immediately used the effect of the Titan’s Heart to make the Origin-tier Infinite Void and the Source-tier Arrogance share equal stats with Celestial Sky.
Celestial Sky rapidly grew to C-rank, unveiling an entirely new world to me. This wasn’t magical power. Nor was it strength tied to the physical body.
Celestial Sky. An endlessly open firmament. An arrogant concept that looks down upon all things. A word symbolizing infinite power.
“Remarkable talent.”
Except for my martial talent, which had transcended genius through the Divine Meridian, every other talent that had plummeted to the depths suddenly surged upward in an instant.
I couldn’t feel it directly, but something had changed. A sensation as though I could accomplish anything. Suppressing the urge to experiment immediately, I rose from my seat.
“So, has your training concluded?”
I couldn’t help but start at the sight of the elderly man sitting cross-legged before me, appearing from nowhere.
