Evil Hegemon Martial God

Chapter 104

Grrrrr…!

Paecheon Singi began to rampage wildly.

It was because he had drawn upon the power of Mun-gok.

More than any other moment, destructive power surged within his hands, but.

‘Kuk…!’

It was unstable.

Unlike the previous three stars, Mun-gok Star was unstable and difficult to control.

This was a characteristic of Mun-gok Star.

Mun-gok Star, as its name suggests, is a star that symbolizes learning and destiny.

In other words, it’s an auspicious star that brings blessings and peace, but.

Among the Big Dipper, Mun-gok Star is the only one formed by the gathering of killing stars and inauspicious stars.

This may seem absurd at first glance, but it can be understood when considering human fate.

Human destiny, like two sides of a coin, repeats fortune and misfortune.

Gooooo…!

Mun-gok let out a fierce roar.

Paecheon Singi rampaged like a wild beast.

‘Keuuk.’

Jeok-un swallowed the groan that was about to burst out.

Even the mysteries of Grand Celestial Divine Skill couldn’t subdue it.

Originally, Paecheon Singi was a martial art that went against the natural order.

Though it went against the flow, the current was steady, so he could control it at will.

But now, from the smallest units to the tiniest internal energy, everything seemed to move on its own with its own will.

Thud thud thud…!

It was as if an earthquake had occurred within his body.

Within the established energy channels, some went left, some went right, and others fluctuated up and down.

The energy channels themselves shook, and furthermore, even his body began to tremble.

But surprisingly, this very ‘resonance’ was Mun-gok’s ability.

The power of Mun-gok was continuously vibrating Paecheon Singi.

‘Foolish man!’

Ho Baek-seon looked at this and wore an undisguised sneer.

Just moments ago, when he had brought out Mun-gok Star, he had been quite surprised.

The power of Mun-gok Star was that strong.

But now, seeing him hold back groans and finally let them out quietly, the situation was obvious.

‘He doesn’t know that power beyond one’s capacity becomes poison instead!’

Swoooosh!

Ho Baek-seon drew up his Blood Absorption Thunder Energy from his dantian.

Immediately, his eyes turned blood red, and a sinister aura spread like mist.

‘I’ll kill you instantly with the power of Eight Stars!’

This was no different from Ho Baek-seon’s full power.

With the destructive force and evil of demonic arts, and against an opponent who couldn’t even control his own power and was staggering.

He could kill him lightly, like stepping on an insect.

“Kahaha! How grateful that you’re killing yourself!”

Swoosh-!

Ho Baek-seon stepped forward and rushed at Jeok-un.

His flying speed was truly like lightning.

Blood-colored energy that was chilling just to look at rippled.

Demon Sea Twelve Swords

Third Form.

Demon Sea Annihilation

A more destructive momentum than the Peerless Demon Sea he had just unleashed.

If it had been an ordinary person instead of Jeok-un, they would have died from sheer terror at the momentum like a beast that had tasted blood.

Swoooosh!

Ho Baek-seon was truly moving like flashing lightning.

But more threatening than the speed that seemed impossible to counter was something else.

Swoooooosh!

That was the two sword orbs dwelling in Ho Baek-seon’s sword.

Wooooong!

They were aggregations of energy rotating and circulating following the technique of Demon Sea Annihilation.

Jeok-un added the power of Mun-gok, sending it flowing with both hands, and gazed at the sword orbs.

‘Strong orbs.’

If sword energy was the first stage of manifesting internal energy outside the body.

Sword projection was the first stage of materializing the manifested internal energy.

Sword force was strengthening that nature.

And what went one step further from here was called sword orbs.

‘Evidence and proof of reaching the mastery of Hyeongyeong.’

The characteristic of these strong orbs could be defined in one word as ‘recreation.’

How does one recreate strengthened nature?

The answer lay in the totality of all insights and enlightenments a warrior had accumulated up to that point.

Sword orbs are often compared to being compressed into bead form, also called compression orbs.

Jeok-un didn’t think so.

Rather than compression, he thought of it as energy embracing energy.

At its source lay the creator’s insights.

‘Both egg and seed.’

Strong orbs were the recreation of strong energy and could be compared to germination.

Before a new world awakens.

An egg or seed containing all possibilities.

Simply put, sword orbs contained all the martial learning a warrior had established and mastered, and the world the warrior was looking at.

Even Hwagyeong warriors, when handling strong energy, couldn’t go beyond extensions of weapons or means to kill enemies.

This was also why an insurmountable gap formed between Hyeongyeong warriors and them, making them dimensionally different.

Therefore, by examining sword orbs, one could see the martial learning, martial way, and martial principles the opponent had cultivated.

“Kahahahahaha!”

Ho Baek-seon’s sword and maniacal laughter covered the void.

He clearly thought he had seized victory.

Naturally, he had reason to be confident.

Sword orbs could only be blocked by sword orbs alone.

Ho Baek-seon himself, who wielded sword orbs.

Jeok-un, who couldn’t use sword orbs.

So anyone would be certain of Ho Baek-seon’s victory.

Swoooosh!

But Jeok-un nevertheless.

Extended both hands forward with sword force spread in them.

His target was Ho Baek-seon’s sword orbs that had approached right before his nose.

Seeing this, Ho Baek-seon inwardly burst into laughter.

‘Crazy fool! His hands will explode just like that!’

Sword force could never block sword orbs.

The moment his hands touched the sword orbs, not just his hands but his forearms, perhaps even his shoulders, would all explode.

The moment Ho Baek-seon imagined that scene and anticipated what would follow.

Spot!

Crack!

Surprisingly, Jeok-un didn’t just deflect it.

“-!!”

He opened his palm and grasped the sword sphere.

What a crazy bastard.

Seeing this, Ho Baek-seon almost burst out laughing.

It seemed like he was seeing a sword sphere for the first time.

He had no idea how much tremendous power was compressed in that small bead-like sword sphere, which is why he was doing such foolish things.

‘Good, now explode!’

Right after that stupid fool’s hand exploded, he planned to immediately cut off both his legs so he couldn’t escape.

Only then could he end this pathetic fight that wasn’t even a proper fight.

But….

“?!?!”

Trrrrrr-!

Ho Baek-seon’s sword sphere began trembling and ringing madly like a shaman’s bell.

Insane resonance!

But Jeok-un’s hand was still perfectly fine.

‘What!?’

The situation Ho Baek-seon expected and anticipated didn’t occur.

The sword sphere in Jeok-un’s grasp couldn’t manifest any power, as if it were just a jade bead.

This is impossible!

Ho Baek-seon’s face turned deathly pale.

He didn’t quite understand what was happening or what was what.

But instinctively, he was certain of one thing.

This situation would definitely not be favorable to him.

Wooooong!

The sword sphere shook violently.

It was like a raging storm, and the fact that its essence was a round bead shape was truly bizarre.

‘Amusing.’

Jeok-un thought this while watching the sword sphere struggling to escape from his hand.

All energies of the universe inherently have their unique movements.

Paecheon Singi, which resonates by borrowing the power of Mun-gok Star, moves endlessly and tracks their patterns and behaviors.

‘Infinite vibration is like infinite close-range strikes.’

Close-range strikes mean delivering meaningful attacks even at distances as short as a finger’s width.

The function of resonance itself was similar to this.

Continuous vibration is like delivering infinite close-range strikes.

It follows the flow, moving up and down to assess the target’s strengths and weaknesses, and the moment it finds the weakest point, it penetrates that gap and crushes it.

‘And the principle of yin and yang operates here too.’

Just as there is yang where there is yin, resonance identifies and breaks the weaknesses of incoming attacks.

Therefore, the antagonism of resonance is both a spear that can break any shield and a shield that can block anything.

Simply put, it possesses both an unbreakable shield and a spear that can pierce anything.

That was precisely the value of Mun-gok Star’s function, resonance.

‘Shatter.’

Jeok-un commanded this and clenched his fist.

Clang!

With a loud sound like breaking pottery, the sword sphere shattered.

The aftermath was by no means small.

Whoosh!

Craaash!

The recoil generated from the sword sphere’s destruction tore apart the surroundings.

The aftermath wasn’t just a metaphorical aftermath.

It was a real, functioning aftermath.

Grrrrrr…!

First, tremendous waves of energy swept through the area.

It was like a giant beast clawing.

The storm burst out in all directions without discrimination, so Ho Baek-seon couldn’t be an exception.

“Aaaaah…!”

A groan erupted from deep within his dantian.

His meridians and blood vessels shook, trembled, and twisted.

With his insides so completely destroyed, how could he block the waves coming from outside?

Ho Baek-seon was directly exposed to the storm made of energy.

His entire body became tattered to the point where the wound on his cheek from earlier looked like a mere scratch.

Craaash…!

The storm of energy didn’t stop at just turning Ho Baek-seon into a rag.

This was a sword sphere created by a master of Hyeongyeong.

How could its aftermath be small?

The energy that swallowed Ho Baek-seon began raging even more wildly.

Furthermore, it crushed, trampled, and destroyed the pavilion, the front courtyard, and the walls of the inner grounds.

Crash crash crack-!!

Collision led to collision, and the aftermath from that created yet another wave.

A horrifying chain collision that made one shudder.

“Cough, hack.”

With a bloody cough, Ho Baek-seon barely managed to raise his body.

He had been swept up in the storm of power and crashed into a wall that had become ruins.

Half the bones in his body that wasn’t holding a sword were completely broken and his muscles were crushed.

“…Blech!”

As soon as Ho Baek-seon stood up, he staggered and vomited black blood.

It was dead blood caused by the internal injuries he had just suffered.

This meant his internal injuries were serious.

But to Ho Baek-seon right now, such minor internal injuries didn’t matter at all.

What was maddeningly bewildering and bizarre was this very moment itself.

‘…How did that bastard-?’

Ho Baek-seon didn’t lose his furious gaze even while staggering.

He gripped his sword hilt tightly as if he would cut off his opponent’s throat immediately.

It was the sword he hadn’t let go of even while being crashed into the ruins.

Jeok-un looked at such Ho Baek-seon and said.

“The world you embrace.”

An emotionless voice without any feeling.

To the flustered Ho Baek-seon, it sounded like a judge’s merciless verdict.

“Is far too insignificant.”
