Chapter 144: You Made a Mistake
Hwangcheon-gye.
Yama was frantically busy with work alongside the magistrates.
Today’s ledger meeting opened without fail as usual.
“Sigh, the number of reincarnates is decreasing while sinners keep increasing.”
“It seems we need to expand Hell further.”
“That’s not even a problem. Hell expands as we mine the black iron anyway.”
“That’s right. Rather, meeting the ingot quota is…”
They even had to turn the black iron into ingots.
But then.
“My King! Where are you? My King!”
It was Kang Rim.
That slippery bastard who would slip away to the multiplex whenever he got the chance.
“Hey, you son of a bitch! Where have you been hiding this time…”
“This is terrible!”
“What is it? Speak up. If it’s nothing serious, you’re dead!”
“Right now, the Monkey Demon has stolen the Heavenly Peach and is fleeing to the Yoma Realm.”
“Hahaha.”
Yama’s expression showed disbelief.
“Kid, so what? The Heavenly Peach will go to whoever it’s meant for. The predetermined fate isn’t flimsy, and how dare a mere chasa interfere with the Heavenly Peach’s destination?”
“Th-that’s not it. Our Haemak Seonnyeo tried to stop the Monkey Demon and…”
Gangrim Chasa explained how Haemak had been dealt with by the monkey.
Then Yama’s complexion turned ice cold.
“Fucking monkey demon bastard!”
His rage reached its peak.
How dare it strike a celestial being?
A hit-and-run at that?
The magistrates beside Yama also had their faces contorted like evil spirits.
Perfect timing.
In the past, how much trouble had that bastard caused by arbitrarily erasing the ledger records?
This was a chance for revenge.
“What about Haemak Seonnyeo?”
“I’ve escorted her to safety.”
Still, this was absolutely unforgivable.
Even tearing that bastard to shreds wouldn’t be enough to quell his anger.
“So it fled to the Yoma Realm?”
“Yes!”
This was the perfect opportunity to sweep away all the demons too.
“Chief Magistrate!”
“Yes, My King.”
“I will open the gates of Hell in the Yoma Realm.”
“A wise decision, Your Majesty.”
Thus, even Hwangcheon-gye joined the battle.
* * *
Danggumak.
The Toxic Spirit he had awakened since his time in the human realm.
Even after ascending to immortality, it hadn’t gone anywhere.
Rather, it had evolved into an even more mystical immortal technique.
‘Don’t touch the Seondo trees. Same goes for the Queen Mother and Seonja of the Palace of Peach Blossoms.’
Woong.
The Toxic Spirit responded.
The Ten Thousand Flower Rain with Dok-seon and Toxic Spirit moving together.
The hidden weapon attacks were concentrated solely on the monkeys.
‘You’re still tracking the main body’s energy, right?’
Woong!
‘Good, you’re doing well. Let’s deal with the clones roughly.’
Woowoong.
‘Focus the rest on the main monkey body. Don’t let it put the Heavenly Peach in its mouth no matter what. You can kill it. Maximize the poison energy too!’
Woong, woong.
When the Immortals appeared to help him.
‘Exclude the Immortals from attack targets.’
Woowoong.
Precision-guided attacks with an error margin of less than 1cm.
The hidden weapons relentlessly pursued the monkey.
But it wasn’t going well.
That bastard was dodging the Ten Thousand Flower Rain brilliantly too.
‘Damn it!’
Danggumak’s expression grew increasingly grim.
Dodging the Ten Thousand Flower Rain like that?
‘Indeed, worthy of being called Jecheon Daeseong.’
There were four great myths of the martial world.
The Heaven and Earth Net that always gets broken through, assassin groups that never succeed in their contracts, noble family heirs who foolishly rely only on their family’s prestige and get beaten.
And lastly, the Ten Thousand Flower Rain that always misses.
But that was a misunderstanding.
In fact, it was because people mistook the Storm Needle technique for the Ten Thousand Flower Rain.
The Ten Thousand Flower Rain was originally a martial art that was only theoretically possible.
In reality, no one had ever completed it.
In the Tang Clan’s history, only Danggumak had actually realized the true Ten Thousand Flower Rain.
With this, he had killed Cheonma and massacred the Cult Members.
Yet he couldn’t handle that monkey.
Suddenly!
– Dok-seon?
Ha Seon-go’s telepathic message came during the battle.
– You know what my immortal technique is, right? So I have a good plan…
Ha Seon-go, who could predict the near future.
After hearing her plan, Danggumak nodded.
He pressed the monkey even more fiercely.
Meanwhile.
Jecheon Daeseong was half out of his mind.
Who was he?
The Victorious Fighting Buddha who always wins in battle, Jecheon Daeseong.
Whether it was Sangje, Yama, or the Dragon King, nothing in the world frightened him.
But being chased like this by a mere Immortal?
The tens of thousands of metal objects floating in the sky weren’t just being scattered randomly.
Each one pursued him as if it were alive.
And that wasn’t all?
Tseupirit! Piriririt!
The Swordsman’s Sword Energy techniques, scattered sword forces and sword rings.
What about the Immortals’ spell formations?
Suddenly the ground rose up to create walls, thick fog appeared to obstruct his vision, and countless talismans burned with whoosh, whoosh sounds, threatening him…
‘Damn it….’
He couldn’t just take this lying down.
‘With all my strength….’
He would flee.
Fighting back was impossible.
Geundu-un and clones, shrinking his body like a flea, then expanding it again.
He employed every means available.
He was almost there now.
That place ahead was the Yoma Realm.
There were hundreds of thousands of demons, high-ranking demon generals, and Honse Mawang with immortal abilities.
A massive demon army.
Individually, they were no match for the Immortals, but together they became strong.
There was a chance of victory.
Jecheon Daeseong was certain.
* * *
Honse Mawang was waiting for Jecheon Daeseong at the center of the Yoma Realm.
The Yoma Realm was also an independent dimension.
As long as they didn’t leave this place, there would be no problem.
The demons were the masters of the Yoma Realm.
Those who invaded were enemies.
He would draw them deep into his stronghold to fight.
Wasn’t this his territory?
“Hehehe, how dare they invade this place….”
But then?
“Uh….”
The scene visible in the distance.
The fleeing monkey and his clones.
Various weapons and projectiles filling the sky.
And multiple Immortals pursuing relentlessly like mad dogs.
“Wh-what?”
The Immortals had come in droves.
They said it was because of one person.
“That damn Monkey Demon bastard!”
He’d been deceived.
This wasn’t worth doing for just half a Heavenly Peach.
‘What kind of trouble did he cause?’
Weren’t the Immortals extremely individualistic, rarely moving unless it was their own business? Yet they were chasing the monkey so desperately?
But this was the Yoma Realm.
Once they crossed over here, he could handle them easily.
“Hey!”
“Yes, Demon King.”
“Gather all the kids.”
“All of them?”
“Yes, you fool! Don’t you see that?”
The sky of the Yoma Realm turned blood red.
At Honse Mawang’s summons, all the hidden demons came rushing out.
Then the Immortals’ faces also hardened.
“Damn it! They’re coming in swarms!”
“Is this zergling rush?”
“Don’t we have nuclear weapons? Nuclear! Nuclear!”
“Hey! Where would we get nukes?”
“I kept saying we should have those delivered.”
“What would you do with nuclear weapons? Destroy the entire upper realm? Let’s just kill the monkey.”
“We can’t give him time to eat the Heavenly Peach.”
The Immortals were instantly outnumbered.
Still, Danggumak didn’t give up.
No matter what, the Heavenly Peach had to reach Tae-ju.
“You cunning monkey bastard! Stop right there!”
“Kekeke, catch me if you can!”
Jecheon Daeseong shook his body once more.
This time very violently.
So much that all the fur on his body fell out.
Whoooosh.
Multiplication and division.
Infinitely increasing clones.
They all rushed toward Danggumak alone.
Jecheon Daeseong knew too.
Who was the most threatening here.
Upon reaching the center of the Yoma Realm, the attacks on him became dispersed.
Now if he just killed that guy, no one could stop him.
Jecheon Daeseong mounted Geundu-un.
Holding the Heavenly Peach he’d been cradling with both hands in his left hand.
He pulled out a very small metal fragment from his ear.
Whoooooosh!
The extending Ruyi Staff.
“Die!”
He tried to strike down Danggumak’s head with the Ruyi Staff that had extended nearly 100 meters, but….
Shwaaaaa!
An Immortal was flying while radiating tremendous energy.
“Gasp!”
Gripping his sword with both hands and extending it straight, flames of immortal energy blazing all over his body, charging at faster than light speed.
“…Swordsman?”
Sword and Immortal became one.
The unity of divine sword and immortal that the Swordsman displayed.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
All the demons and clones in the flight path scattered like powder.
“…Damn!”
Jecheon Daeseong tensed up too.
Whoooosh!
The Ruyi Staff shortened appropriately.
It extended again and clashed toward the Swordsman’s blade.
Shwaaaaaang!
An intense storm of energy burst forth, sweeping through the Yoma Realm.
The Swordsman was knocked back.
Jecheon Daeseong also fell backward.
Right at that moment!
“Dok-seon! Now!”
Ha Seon-go shouted.
Then thousands of sharp black iron projectile ingots that had been floating high in the air, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
Tspirilit! Tspipipipipit!
Like a ballistic missile, it fell straight down in a vertical line.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwak!
It bombarded Jecheon Daeseong’s left shoulder as he held the Heavenly Peach.
“Uhheohuk!”
No matter how much Jecheon Daeseong possessed a diamond body, completely overcoming the impact of the heavy black iron hidden weapon was difficult.
So in the end, he had no choice but to drop the Heavenly Peach he held in his left hand.
The Heavenly Peach fell to the ground below.
Everyone’s attention focused on it.
“It’s the Heavenly Peach!”
“Grab it!”
“Kikikik?”
“Krueeeek!”
Demons and Immortals rushed toward the Heavenly Peach in a swarm.
However, one of the monkey clones quickly picked up the Heavenly Peach.
“A clone took it.”
“Damn it, which bastard is it?”
“I can’t tell them apart.”
“It’s that one!”
For Jecheon Daeseong, having a clone grab it was fortunate at least.
But he needed to receive it quickly.
Because the clone couldn’t eat the Heavenly Peach.
So he quickly gave orders to the clone that took the Heavenly Peach.
“Bring the Heavenly Peach here right now… Heuk?”
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
A waterfall of hidden weapons falling from above his head.
Papapapapat!
“Ah, come on!”
“You bastard! Give up already, it’s not yours.”
“Hmph! You’re the one who should give up!”
While he succeeded in making the monkey drop the Heavenly Peach, Danggumak was in a predicament.
Suddenly his target had split into two.
That elusive Jecheon Daeseong and the Heavenly Peach being passed from hand to hand among the clones.
There was no choice.
He had to chase both.
Would Honse Mawang just stand still?
“Kuooooooo! The time has come to wash away the humiliation we suffered from the Immortals!”
The demons responded.
“Kyaaaak!”
“Immortals… we kill them.”
“Krrrrrung!”
Most of the demons here in the Yoma Realm were ones captured by the Immortals, for the purpose of maintaining balance in the human world.
They had always planned to take revenge someday.
The opportunity had come.
They thought they had a chance if they all rushed at once.
“Wow! How absurd!”
“There’s been so much fun stuff lately that I left these demon bastards alone, and now they’re crawling up?”
“Honse Mawang, we’ll handle that bastard. Gonryun, Maehua, Sambong, help Dok-seon along with the Swordsman.”
“Can you manage it?”
“Hehe, we’re also ascended Immortals.”
“Let’s go!”
It was chaos.
Hordes of demons facing the Immortals, Jecheon Daeseong and his clones.
A great battle broke out.
Then the Heavenly Peach escaped from a clone’s hand, a demon picked it up again, the demon who picked up the Heavenly Peach was pierced by black iron hidden weapons, a clone grabbed it, dropped it, grabbed it…
The problem was still numbers.
No matter how excellent each Immortal’s abilities were, no matter how many demons and clones Dok-seon’s Ten Thousand Flower Rain killed, the enemy forces kept surging endlessly.
Thwook! Thung, thuthuk, thukthukthukthukt!
The Heavenly Peach flew around everywhere.
From hand to hand, throwing and catching, dropping and picking up to pass again.
Not once did it come into the Immortals’ hands.
They could only chase frantically.
In an instant!
Thuk!
The Heavenly Peach slipped into someone’s hand.
“Huh?”
“Heuk!”
“Kruk!”
“…What?”
“Uh, when?”
.
.
.
The battlefield became quiet as if by magic.
“Wow! I caught it!”
It was Haemak Seonnyeo.
The Immortals were stunned.
“N-no, in this dangerous place…”
“Who brought Haemak here?”
“Forget the Heavenly Peach, protect Haemak first!”
“You fucking bastards! If you touch even a fingertip of our Haemak, you’re all dead!”
A celestial being.
The most beloved existence throughout the upper realms.
Everyone just stared blankly.
The demons knew too.
What would happen if they touched Haemak.
What to do?
Should they attack?
No one dared to move rashly.
Except for one person.
“Crazy bitch! Bring that Heavenly Peach here!”
Shwaaaaaaak!
Jecheon Daeseong, who couldn’t read the atmosphere, flew over at a terrifying speed.
That’s when it happened.
Ziiing! A transparent door appeared in front of Haemak Seonnyeo.
“Heuk?”
Suddenly?
What’s that?
I’ve seen it somewhere before.
There wasn’t just one.
Ziiing, ziiing, ziiing, ziiing, ziiing, ziiing…
open up everywhere.
In countless numbers.
Creeeeak, creeeeak, creeeeak, creeeeak, creeeeak, creeeeak…
Pangwan, Chasa and Saja, hell administrators walking leisurely out of the doors.
Behind them.
Trudge, trudge, trudge, trudge…
Sinners of bizarre appearance emerged.
They poured out endlessly.
They were hell gates.
Yama pointed his finger at Jecheon Daeseong and commanded.
“For the crime of daring to harm Haemak, capture that monkey and make him kneel before me. You may kill him.”
“…What?”
That wasn’t all.
Flutter flutter.
Before long, Taktop Sinjang appeared in the Yoma Realm sky riding a winged horse.
“You shameless stone monkey! Did you truly harm our celestial fairy? You know your own crime!”
Jecheon Daeseong was dumbfounded.
The intervention of Hwangcheon-gye and Cheon-gye was one thing.
It wasn’t his first time experiencing such things.
But there wasn’t a single word about the Heavenly Peach.
‘Wasn’t it because of the Heavenly Peach?’
That woman seems to be the cause.
Just who is she…
‘Wa, wait! Haemak?’
Damn!
Now he remembered.
‘I’m in trouble.’
His mind went blank.
He had made a huge mistake.
‘Of all people…,’
Taktop Sinjang sneered at the bewildered Jecheon Daeseong and blew the heavenly army summoning flute.
Piiiiiiit!
Faaaaaaat!
Then a massive army was summoned.
It was the heavenly army.
They filled the sky.
Gulp.
Even Honse Mawang swallowed dry saliva.
‘This is really bad.’
He had touched someone who should never be touched.
He had suddenly become entangled as an accomplice in harming a celestial being.
All because of that stone monkey.
‘…Hah! I shouldn’t have listened to that bastard’s proposal in the first place.’
Honse Mawang’s belated regret.
The sinners of hell came charging.
At the same time, the heavenly armies also descended all at once.
Naturally, the immortals too.
“You bastard! Give us your head.”
“Eliminate the demons before the celestial being gets hurt!”
The demons were caught and torn apart.
The clones were also cut down.
Jecheon Daeseong lost his will to fight.
‘Hah.’
Even now, he could try to steal it if he wanted, but how could he handle the aftermath?
Just die.
That would be better.
Actually, even dying was impossible.
Since he possessed the status of immortality.
Like before, he would spend thousands of years trapped under a rocky mountain.
Only then did Danggumak breathe a sigh of relief.
Haemak ran over to Dok-seon with a bright expression.
“Here it is!”
She held out the Heavenly Peach.
“…I am so grateful, fairy.”
“Hehe,”
How should he repay her?
“Dok-seon, please grant me one favor later.”
“I will grant anything. I swear!”
“Thank youuuuu.”
He would hear what the favor was later.
Anyway, he received the Heavenly Peach and put it into the Infinite Space.
Now his mind was at ease.
There was absolutely no chance it would be stolen.
But Swordsman approached with a serious expression and said.
“Dok-seon.”
Had some problem arisen?
His heart became anxious.
“Um, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong…”
Then Swordsman whispered quietly.
“What?”
“…”
Should he just kill him?
* * *
Earth was also in the midst of war.
Actually, he thought it would end quickly.
Since the Kingdom army was much stronger than the Republican army.
But unexpectedly, the Republican army’s strength was not to be underestimated.
Guerrilla warfare breaking out everywhere.
Countless people had already died.
The European Empire immediately decided to participate in the war.
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Tae-ju was also receiving real-time war updates through his smartphone.
‘They’ve gone crazy, completely crazy.’
Videos spreading through YouTube and SNS.
This wasn’t the appearance of a normal army.
An army of corpses.
There was no distinction between Kingdom army and Republican army.
Soldiers walking stiffly forward without hiding their bodies even in scenes with bullets raining down, soldiers throwing grenades as if nothing happened even with their arms blown off, soldiers shooting guns while their necks were bent 90 degrees and dangling.
They weren’t even trying to hide it.
‘These bastards are now doing it openly.’
He couldn’t just stay still.
But it wasn’t quite right to move just yet either.
Time flowed and flowed.
Finally, the container ship approached close to Yangsan Port in the Samhan Empire.
Now it was safe.
They had completely escaped the territory of the Elite Marine Beasts.
In that case?
Tae-ju drew Manribibeom and leaped from the ship.
Swooooosh!
His destination was Gurye for now.
Before going to Moscow, there was someone—no, an animal—he needed to bring along.
