Chapter 154

Chapter 1

Hyeol Woon-am’s brow furrowed.

This situation.

Frankly speaking, he hadn’t expected it.

Even if someone other than Hyeol Woon-am had come, it would have been the same. This was truly an absurd situation.

No one had ever held the Origin Blood Sect accountable.

To be precise, they couldn’t.

Who would dare hold the Origin Blood Sect accountable? Unless they were insane.

He looked at No Cheon-myeong standing before him.

There was no way Hyeol Woon-am wouldn’t know this man.

He was still a very famous man.

A man who left Murim fifty years ago and holed up in a Central Plains outskirt region called Divine Ginseng Valley to train.

But he had made no progress for fifty years, and normally one would give up after that long, yet he stubbornly refused to give up and continued training.

Certainly, a talentless person making effort was worthy of respect.

But that was only for twenty years at most; fifty years deserved not respect but personal criticism.

The reason was clear. At that point, he couldn’t escape from his own obstinacy.

Frankly speaking, Hyeol Woon-am thought No Cheon-myeong was a stupid human being.

Looking at him now, it wasn’t a wrong judgment.

“Coming out to Murim after fifty years only to face death. No Cheon-myeong.”

At those words, No Cheon-myeong stroked his white beard and smiled calmly.

“What’s the higher probability – that I’ll die, or that you’ll die?”

“Even if I die in this place, you too will surely die within a short time.”

“That’s something we’ll have to see when the time comes.”

“…Crazy bastard. It’s admirable that you’ve reached Heaven-Human Unity, but do you think you, who just achieved Heaven-Human Unity, can be my match?”

No Cheon-myeong let out a sigh.

“Ha, you bastard. You talk too much. Your informal speech is irritating, but that pathetic arrogance is even more irritating.”

Hyeol Woon-am drew his sword.

True to his nickname Blood Rain Sword Demon, he used a sword. Frankly speaking, Hyeol Woon-am was confident he could survive this place. Because he knew his own strength better than anyone.

He pointed his sword at No Cheon-myeong and asked.

“Can you handle it? There’s a reason no one holds the Origin Blood Sect accountable.”

No Cheon-myeong shrugged his shoulders and smiled. He agreed.

Until now, no one had ever held the Origin Blood Sect accountable.

The greatest sect in Murim.

The sect to which the Murim Supreme belonged.

Moreover, they didn’t walk the righteous path, but walked the blood path stained with blood.

However.

“What does that have to do with me? Anyway, that guy over there will take care of everything.”

His gaze briefly turned toward Woon-hwi. Woon-hwi was watching the situation with a calm expression.

Above all.

“Whether the Origin Blood Sect is an enemy or whatever, I only have the heart to repay a debt of gratitude. If such a warrior’s will calls forth enemies, shouldn’t I properly face those enemies?”

No Cheon-myeong’s voice carried the firmness of having endured long years.

Hyeol Woon-am, judging that further conversation was meaningless, suddenly launched his body. The Blood Rain Thousand Sword in his hand flew toward No Cheon-myeong like lightning.

Blood Cloud Heaven Thunder.

In an instant, the entire gorge was dyed with red energy.

Where his feet touched, where his sword swept past, in all those spaces, mists of blood formed and exploded, shattering the rocks of the gorge to pieces.

This was why Hyeol Woon-am was called the Blood Rain Sword Demon.

However, No Cheon-myeong didn’t move a muscle. He stood with both hands clasped behind his back.

The martial arts he had used before were many.

They were many, but from the moment he reached Heaven-Human Unity, all of them gathered into one.

Simply put.

No Cheon-myeong had created a new martial art combining everything he knew.

Heaven Fire Profound Human Art.

Kuguuuuuung.

With a roar, the air around No Cheon-myeong began to distort.

Like the air shimmering on an extremely hot summer day, the space around him twisted and all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that Hyeol Woon-am had unleashed was sucked into it.

“Wh… what is this…?”

At Hyeol Woon-am’s trembling voice, No Cheon-myeong smiled.

“In fifty years, one can learn many things.”

No Cheon-myeong slowly took a step forward.

“And forget even more things. But there’s something that remains forever. Do you know what that is?”

Hyeol Woon-am frowned. Not caring, No Cheon-myeong smiled and continued.

“A warrior’s will.”

The moment his foot touched the ground, the entire Wol-jin Gorge shook.

Kwarrrrrung-!!

As if an earthquake had occurred, the ground split and rocks came tumbling down.

Heaven Fire Profound Human Art.

First Form, Heaven Fire Opens Earth.

Flame-like energy rose from No Cheon-myeong’s body. It was an intangible fire, and that fire spread across the ground and rushed toward Hyeol Woon-am.

Hyeol Woon-am hastily retreated and swung his sword in a wide arc.

Blood Cloud Blockade.

Red mist formed a wall and blocked No Cheon-myeong’s flames. The moment the two energies collided, with a tremendous explosion, one of the gorge’s cliffs completely collapsed.

“Handling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy instead of Natural Energy is somewhat awkward, but not bad.”

Unlike the leisurely No Cheon-myeong, Hyeol Woon-am’s expression showed no composure. He had grasped his opponent’s skill level from that single exchange.

This was not ordinary Heaven-Human Unity.

“…How… can you be this proficient?”

“Proficient? From my perspective, it couldn’t be more awkward than this.”

With those words, No Cheon-myeong raised his hand toward the void.

Immediately, the sky above the gorge began to twist.

Clouds gathered in a whirlpool, and those clouds began to turn increasingly red.

Heaven Fire Profound Human Art.

Fifth Form, Heaven Fire Descent.

Fire poured down from the sky like rain. It was like a meteor shower. Feeling extreme danger, Hyeol Woon-am drew up all his internal energy.

Blood Cloud Heaven Curtain.

Red mist that explosively spread from his body completely covered his flesh.

The flames pouring from the sky died out as soon as they touched his body, but it was only the beginning.

Stronger flames began pouring down more intensely, the surrounding area was completely devastated, and cracks began to appear in the red mist covering Hyeol Woon-am’s body.

The distorted Hyeol Woon-am had no time to do anything.

Not flames, but a single flash of light extended toward him.

It was No Cheon-myeong’s sole.

Jjeoooooong-!!

The mist was completely shattered and Hyeol Woon-am flew far away, smashing through six trees before being embedded in the cliff.

As he raised his head, blood energy surged up from his body like mad.

His eyes turned red, and even his skin reddened.

Having become a true blood person in the genuine sense, he clenched his left hand tightly.

Kwaaaaang-!!

His Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy stretched toward the sky. Then blood rain began to fall again from the reddened heavens.

As soon as they touched the ground, they melted and caused explosions, creating shocking phenomena.

“Oho… Excellent.”

Absurdly, No Cheon-myeong was appreciating it.

It wasn’t over.

“Like natural energy, it causes changes to the surrounding environment… but it’s different. It changes the sky… it grants properties to the sky… Yes, the source is heaven.”

He was moving beyond appreciation to evaluation, even gaining enlightenment.

What is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy?

Natural energy can move surrounding water to create waves or gather earth’s energy to hurl rocks.

But those who handle Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy can grant properties to the sky itself to make blood rain fall and change the essence of water to create swords.

It’s not using nature, but drawing forth the fundamental energy between heaven and earth to transform it at will.

Creating fire where there is no fire, creating water where there is no water.

That is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

“The Heaven in Heaven-Human Unity means… that humans can become one with heaven to transform the essence of heaven and earth… I see. Yes… that is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Hahaha… I understand.”

While natural energy has limited influence, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy can change the very laws of heaven and earth nature. It’s not going against natural order, but changing natural order itself to match one’s will.

“Boy, the Blood Energy you handle is also a form of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but you haven’t yet reached its fundamental essence. Am I right?”

Hyeol Woon-am gulped.

Should he say it was like looking at a monster, or should he say it was fitting for a genius who reached the Heaven-Human Realm at thirty-seven?

While Hyeol Woon-am clearly hadn’t reached Limitless Divine Manifestation, the second realm of the Five Realms of Martial God, the Blood Cult had many masters of Limitless Divine Manifestation.

Without going far, four of the eight elders were all masters of Limitless Divine Manifestation or higher.

The terror he felt watching them closely was now visible in No Cheon-myeong.

That man.

Not long after reaching Heaven-Human Unity, he had clearly already grasped the beginning of enlightenment leading to Limitless Divine Manifestation.

This couldn’t be right. This really wasn’t right.

Monster bastard.

At this moment, Hyeol Woon-am completely abandoned the thought that he held the advantage.

Now he had to stake everything.

He gripped his sword tightly and kicked off from his position. Red mist swirled around him.

He swung it directly.

Ten Thousand Blood Unity Cloud Heaven.

His sword split into thousands and stretched toward No Cheon-myeong.

Red mist poured from each sword, covering the sky and all surroundings, like blood-stained clouds pouring down to earth.

No Cheon-myeong’s eyes became serious for the first time.

When he didn’t know, he would have admired it, but now he felt threatened.

Hyeol Woon-am’s technique was clearly a martial art of the Five Realms of Martial God.

A martial art that affects all of heaven and earth…

He could feel the long history of the Original Blood Sect.

No Cheon-myeong slowly extended both arms forward.

Then a strange pattern emerged from his chest.

It was the character for “person” shaped like flames.

Heavenly Fire Mysterious Person Formula.

Twelfth Form, Heaven-Earth-Human Unity.

Explosive energy burst from No Cheon-myeong’s body. That energy shot up to heaven, piercing through clouds, and descended to earth, penetrating the bottom of the gorge.

Hyeol Woon-am’s Ten Thousand Blood Cloud Heaven evaporated in midair before even reaching him.

“…This… this can’t be…”

Hyeol Woon-am, stained with terror, couldn’t even perceive it.

That No Cheon-myeong’s right index finger was extending toward him.

Puuk.

So naturally, as if it had been there from the beginning, No Cheon-myeong’s finger pierced into Hyeol Woon-am’s heart.

The Protective Body Energy made of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy covering his body tore like paper.

Hyeol Woon-am soon realized his life had ended.

He couldn’t even let out a scream.

Peooooong-!!

Fragments of what had been Hyeol Woon-am scattered in all directions.

Everything was perfect, down to the sound of things falling.

No Cheon-myeong turned his head.

Whether the gorge collapsed or not, Sim Mun-ryong of Huashan First Peak had precisely torn three blood people into twenty-five pieces with ten swords, and the Branch Members Seong Yang-ho and Woon-hwi had killed all the poison users.

Ah.

No.

One remained.
