Chapter 176: Broad Cold Dark Realm (3)

Currently, four Wonnyeonggyeong Daoists had appeared in this place.

These were the ones who had hidden and waited for an opportunity while Snow Flower True Lord was fighting.

So there shouldn’t be anyone with skills surpassing Snow Flower True Lord.

However, there were four of them.

If they coordinated organically and attacked together, it would be difficult for Cheon Woo-jin to handle them alone.

‘I need to take them out one by one for sure.’

Cheon Woo-jin’s strategy was decided.

The first target was the Daoist in green robes, who had the weakest skills among the four.

[Dong U]

* Race: Human Race

* Age: 888 years

* Realm: Nascent Soul Realm (Early Stage)

* Constitution: Wood Spirit Root

* Faction: Orthodox Sect

* Affiliation: Great Tree Sect

* Destiny: Self-Interest

There was a sect called the Great Tree Sect on the 4th Layer of Ghost Head City.

It was a sect that specialized in Wood Attribute techniques, and Dong U was an Elder Ancestor who had been controlling that sect from behind.

He remembered from the game that he was an enemy who deployed various tactics using different plants.

If left alone, the plants controlled by Dong U would spread around, leaving no place to step.

So he needed to take him out quickly.

‘Devour him.’

Kuwoong!

A massive wave stretched out toward Dong U.

“What…!”

Dong U urgently tried to deploy magic arts.

However, the merciless black wave devoured even Dong U’s spell formation.

If Dong U had tried to flee with all his might, he might have been able to avoid it.

But Dong U was also a proper Nascent Soul Elder Ancestor.

The very idea of retreating in fear of a greenhorn junior’s attack would have been impossible for him.

“Th-this power is…!”

Kwakwakwa!

This black wave possessed properties similar to black lightning that embodied death and annihilation.

After mercilessly erasing the defensive spell formation that was deployed a step too late, it began to erode Dong U’s physical body.

“How can such a brat possess such ominous power…!”

A Nascent Soul Daoist’s physical body was also enhanced.

Nascent Soul cultivators could withstand most attacks with their bare bodies without a scratch.

However, Dong U’s physical body was currently crumbling at a rapid pace.

“Huk…!”

Kuwoong!

Finally, a tentacle extending from within the wave pierced through Dong U’s lower abdomen.

When his Golden Core was destroyed, the rest of his physical body quickly collapsed as well.

[Damn it…!]

Shuwook!

The Nascent Soul escaped from Dong U’s physical body.

It broke free from the pitch-black wave and soared high into the sky.

[I’ll remember this…!]

Leaving behind thoughts as if he would definitely retaliate later, the Nascent Soul disappeared from sight.

At first glance, it seemed to have vanished far away.

But that wasn’t actually the case.

Cheon Woo-jin saw the status window that had been growing more distant suddenly disappear.

The Nascent Soul that had been trying to flee far away was annihilated by someone.

Cheon Woo-jin knew whose doing this was.

‘Thank you, Mujung Soma.’

Mujung Soma had not participated in the mixed unit to stop Snow Flower True Lord.

This was because Cheon Woo-jin had asked him to stand by as the final trump card.

He needed a last bastion to rely on when a dangerous situation arose.

Fortunately, with Cheon Woo-jin reaching the Nascent Soul realm in time, such a situation didn’t occur.

So Mujung Soma had been lurking hidden in the air above.

To block the pathway and eliminate the Wonnyeonggyeong Daoists when they tried to escape as Nascent Souls.

Originally, Mujung Soma specialized in aerial combat.

If he predicted which direction the Nascent Soul would flee and blocked the pathway in advance, he could eliminate it sufficiently.

‘I’ll be the one to defeat them. So just handle the finishing, Mujung Soma!’

Feeling reassured, Cheon Woo-jin recalled the tentacles of the Guanghan Xuanxuan Realm that had subdued Dong U.

Seeing this, the remaining three Nascent Soul Daoists were horrified.

“Wh-what is this?!”

“How can such a Law Domain…!”

They were unable to move rashly due to the black waves constantly surging around them.

In the meantime, everyone was shocked as Dong U was defeated so helplessly.

“How did he create a Law Domain in ordinary space?”

“Without creating a subspace isolated from the outside, it should be impossible to maintain a Law Domain…!”

“N-no, wait a moment!”

Among them, the red-haired Daoist woman raised her voice.

“The Law Domain is only deployed in a narrow space of about 1 zhang radius centered around that bastard! He’s creating waves and tentacles there and then releasing them outward!”

“Wh-what? How is that…!”

It was an accurate analysis.

Right now, Cheon Woo-jin had created a Law Domain only around himself.

Earlier, when confronting Snow Flower True Lord’s Gwangsul Baekrim-gyeong, he had created a wide Law Domain, but maintaining it for a long time was difficult with his current abilities.

“That’s nonsense!”

Another Won Shadow Sect Daoist objected.

“If that’s the case, he’s releasing the power of the Law Domain outside to attack us, but that’s impossible! No matter how powerful, the moment it leaves the Law Domain, it would be crushed by the laws of the Real World and scatter!”

“No, it’s not impossible.”

Another Won Shadow Sect Daoist shook his head and groaned.

“The will to despise the laws of this world and recreate everything according to one’s own will… If one can draw that mental image more clearly and solidly than anyone else, it’s possible…!”

“…!”

That’s right.

Until now, Cheon Woo-jin had lived by utilizing the laws of the world, but now he desired to transcend them.

Guanghan Xuanxuan Realm was the first step toward that goal.

Primarily, it creates a space of nothingness and creates a new world within it.

Secondarily, it releases the laws of that world outward to overcome the laws of the Real World.

Through this, Cheon Woo-jin could gain an advantage over other Won Shadow Sect cultivators.

It was like being able to freely deploy the power of a Law Domain even in ordinary space.

‘If I fight with pure spiritual power alone, I’m bound to lose.’

Cheon Woo-jin was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, having just condensed his Nascent Soul.

Even using the Nine-Pattern Golden Core to amplify his spiritual power, he would inevitably be pushed back in a contest of strength against Nascent Soul elders who had accumulated power for a long time.

Therefore, he changed the rules of battle.

Not a fight of clashing spiritual power against spiritual power, or magic arts against magic arts… but a fight where Cheon Woo-jin’s created world crushes the opponent’s world.

[Kang Mak-a]

* Race: Human Race

* Age: 941 years

* Realm: Nascent Soul (Mid-stage)

* Constitution: Metal Spiritual Root

* Faction: Orthodox Sect

* Affiliation: Radiant Sword Sect

* Heavenly Mandate: Authority

The Won Shadow Sect Daoist who had refused to acknowledge Cheon Woo-jin’s power earlier drew her sword.

It was Elder Ancestor Kang Mak-a of the Radiant Sword Sect, famous for their Sword Cultivation methods.

“I cannot accept this! How can such a thing be possible!”

Kang Mak-a held her sword and performed dazzling sword techniques in mid-air.

“There must be some trick! I’ll expose the true nature of that trick with my sword!”

Pa-pa-pa-pat!

The sword techniques performed in mid-air transcended space and flew toward Cheon Woo-jin.

It was an attack possible because she was at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, capable of overcoming spatial limitations.

But it didn’t reach Cheon Woo-jin.

Black waves surged from the Law Domain surrounding Cheon Woo-jin and completely devoured all of Kang Mak-a’s attacks.

“Daoist Kang! Such attacks cannot penetrate the interior of a Law Domain!”

“Then I’ll approach and thrust my blade in!”

Despite other Daoists’ attempts to stop her, Kang Mak-a charged forward at terrifying speed.

When Kang Mak-a let out a short battle cry, hundreds of sword qi formed around her.

Tearing through the black waves with those blades, Kang Mak-a rushed toward Cheon Woo-jin.

“Haaap…!”

At first, it seemed like she was breaking through smoothly.

Every time Kang Mak-a’s sword qi flashed, the waves split and created a path.

The momentum of charging through those gaps was very threatening.

However, at some point, Kang Mak-a also realized.

She wasn’t breaking through by tearing apart the waves, but was being lured into a deep place from which she could never escape.

“Ah…!”

Kwa-kwa-kwa!

The fragments of waves that had been torn apart by sword qi struck Kang Mak-a from all directions.

Kang Mak-a tried to control hundreds of sword qi at once to block them, but it wasn’t enough.

Countless sword qi melted away in the black currents, and even the sword Kang Mak-a was holding was swept away by the waves and disappeared somewhere.

Then two large tentacles extended out, wrapped around Kang Mak-a’s upper and lower body, and tore her apart vertically in one motion.

[I cannot accept this…!]

Spitting out disgraceful last words, Kang Mak-a escaped as a Nascent Soul.

However, Cheon Woo-jin no longer paid any attention to Kang Mak-a.

Mujung Soma would deal with her anyway, and right now Cheon Woo-jin had to respond to another Nascent Soul Daoist approaching from the side.

[Jo Ang ]

* Race: Demon Race

* Age: 957 years old

* Realm: Nascent Soul Middle Stage

* Constitution: Earth-Water Spirit Root

* Faction: Black Gate

* Affiliation: Beast King Gate

* Heavenly Mandate: Gluttony

Jo Ang was an Elder Ancestor of the Beast King Gate, which had its main base on the 5th Layer of Ghost Head City.

As the name suggested, Beast King Gate was a sect composed of beast-type demon cultivators.

Jo Ang, their Elder Ancestor, was a werewolf who had mastered the Greedy Wolf Martial Spirit Art.

[Wolf King Fierce Claws]

Shaaaak!

As Jo Ang swept his two hands widely, an attack flew toward Cheon Woo-jin.

It was an attack that created rifts in space as if clawed by talons.

Cheon Woo-jin was already unleashing black waves in the direction Jo Ang was charging, but Jo Ang’s Wolf King Fierce Claws succeeded in cutting through the waves and creating space.

[Wolf King Greedy Star]

Through that empty space, Jo Ang’s ultimate technique exploded forth.

The strongest technique of the Greedy Wolf Martial Spirit Art that devoured everything with a giant wolf’s mouth.

A massive maw opened toward Cheon Woo-jin as if it would swallow even the black waves.

‘It’s useless.’

Shuruuk.

Several thick tentacles penetrated the wolf’s mouth one step ahead.

And like putting a live octopus in one’s mouth, they stuck everywhere and tore the massive maw to shreds.

“…!”

The tentacles extended further and crushed even Jo Ang, who was making a stunned expression.

Jo Ang’s Nascent Soul immediately escaped, but this too would eventually be hunted by Mujung Soma.

Now only the red-haired female cultivator who had first understood Cheon Woo-jin’s power remained.

[Yu Yeon-ri ]

* Race: Human Race

* Age: 879 years old

* Realm: Nascent Soul Late Stage

* Constitution: Fire Spirit Root

* Faction: Black Gate

* Affiliation: Ghost Head City

* Heavenly Mandate: Love of Family

Yu Yeon-ri was a Nascent Soul mercenary with no sect affiliation.

She was bringing her hands together to create a fireball the size of a human head.

Though small in size, it was made by condensing massive flame shadow energy, so its power itself would be overwhelming.

Even with such powerful magic prepared, Yu Yeon-ri was sweating on her forehead.

She had already realized that this attack would be insufficient to subdue Cheon Woo-jin.

“Cheon Woo-jin…!”

Yu Yeon-ri shouted with a trembling voice.

“That power that scorns the laws of the world! That’s not a power someone of your level should be able to obtain! It should be a power one can only touch after reaching a much higher realm…!”

Placing her last hope and concentrating all her power into the fireball, Yu Yeon-ri asked.

“What do you plan to do by obtaining such power so early! What exactly do you want!”

“There’s only one thing I want.”

Cheon Woo-jin answered without hesitation.

“To crush all beings like you who threaten my life… and survive until the very end.”

Surviving until the very end.

That was a resolve Cheon Woo-jin had never forgotten since entering the world of the Spirit Path Cultivation Chronicle.

Every path Cheon Woo-jin had walked so far was solely for that purpose.

“Even if it means seeing the end of this world, I will survive.”

“To think of coveting the realm of absolute beings so early, how utterly arrogant…!”

Kwaaaaah!

With a desperate scream, the crimson fireball was launched.

A mass of flame condensed with massive energy flew to burn Cheon Woo-jin.

It was originally magic of a power that Cheon Woo-jin could never defend against.

Even if he squeezed out his spiritual power to deploy defensive magic, Cheon Woo-jin would ultimately burst into flames and become mere ash in an instant.

To overcome that fate, Cheon Woo-jin extended his hand forward.

A narrow Law Domain with a radius of only 1 zhang.

He threw open its door wide, liberating the world he had created.

[Vast and Boundless Dark Waters]

Endlessly distant and immeasurable black waves.

The world of the Billion Sea Demon Venerable, the only transcendent being Cheon Woo-jin had communicated with.

Cheon Woo-jin’s mental image that vividly and solidly depicted that pitch-black sea burst forth into the real world.

“Aaaaah…!”

Generating a thunderous roar that even erased her desperate screams, the pitch-black wave swallowed the burning sphere of flames.

And not stopping there, it extended outward, completely annihilating every trace of Won Yeong-gyeong Daoist Yu Yeon-ri without leaving anything behind.
