Chapter 331. My Survival Comes After

 

 

The ray of light that began from the tip of Ha Mu-baek’s sword.

Tak Yo-beom once again erected a Flame Barrier before his eyes.

In addition to the Blue Flame that wrapped around his body like armor.

Even a barrier of Blue Flame.

Tak Yo-beom was confident.

No matter how much of a Monster that one was, he absolutely couldn’t break through this barrier and armor he had created.

However, Severing Sunset cut straight through the barrier.

“Hmph.”

Even at the sight of the barrier gradually splitting into two pieces, Tak Yo-beom still sneered.

Because he trusted in the Blue Flame Armor wrapping around his body.

But.

Severing Sunset didn’t end there.

It continued flying and struck the Blue Flame Armor surrounding Tak Yo-beom’s body.

But that was all.

The Blue Flame Armor was fiercely blazing with blue flames, blocking Severing Sunset.

“Keke. I thought so.”

Just as Tak Yo-beom let out a laugh and felt relieved.

Severing Sunset glowed between the Blue Flame’s fire.

Soon.

The Blue Flame Armor began to split.

Only then did Tak Yo-beom’s eyes widen.

“Wh, what!!!”

Though he had said the sword strike and aura from before were different.

He couldn’t even imagine that it would cut through even the Blue Flame Armor and reach him.

“Eeek!”

Tak Yo-beom pushed all his qi energy into the Blue Flame.

The tremendous fire energy of the blazing flames spread in all directions.

Not only Ha Mu-baek, but even Bing Chwi-seol and Han Seol-bing who were much further away could feel it.

They were drawing up their internal energy to resist the fire energy Tak Yo-beom was emitting.

The Blue Flame armor now became a small shield and fought against the Severing Sunset that Ha Mu-baek had unleashed.

He had concentrated all his body’s strength into one point.

That was not a shield.

It was like a crystal of fire energy possessing tremendous heat.

A sight that should be called a Fire Crystal.

Ha Mu-baek, who was holding his sword straight out, gritted his teeth.

He too was giving his all.

Because this Severing Sunset was not yet finished.

Because it was still trying to cut through the enemy.

Ha Mu-baek’s sword also remained continuously in the same position.

White Strong Energy bursting forth into midair.

While emitting tremendous qi energy, it was trying to cut Tak Yo-beom’s Fire Crystal.

Both men’s faces were rigidly hardened.

Each gritting their teeth and giving their all.

Even for Ha Mu-baek, this kind of experience was a first.

Blocking his sword with such an overwhelming amount of qi energy.

To think there was an amount of qi energy that could bridge the gap in enlightenment.

The qi energy Tak Yo-beom was currently emitting couldn’t even be called internal energy.

He was simply emitting pure fire energy in all directions.

Just how did he obtain such qi energy.

What on earth was beneath that ground.

Ha Mu-baek shook off his distracting thoughts and focused on his sword.

Severing Sunset was not yet finished.

Because it was still moving forward, saying it would cut more.

Ha Mu-baek concentrated his mind and internal energy on his sword.

Intense light burst forth from the white Sword Aura.

The even sharper Severing Sunset.

Little by little.

Burrowed into the Fire Crystal Tak Yo-beom had created.

“Th, this. How dare you. Where do you think….”

Tak Yo-beom tried to draw up even more qi energy.

But his expression was colored with panic.

There was no qi energy left in his body.

The Fire Crystal before his eyes.

He had poured all the qi energy he had obtained into it.

And yet.

It was being cut little by little.

Slowly.

Slowly.

The pure white Sword Aura boring through.

If it were an enemy of a certain level, this was a technique that would cut and eliminate them without even seeing the form of the Sword Aura.

Because Tak Yo-beom had blocked the technique’s progress with his vast qi energy.

He was confirming with his eyes the slowly unfolding Gang Qi of Severing Sunset.

Now that was even more terrifying.

Watching the Gang Qi containing tremendous energy slowly cut through the condensed body of energy he had created with all his might and approach him.

Because he could imagine how that end would turn out.

“Th, th, this is impossible….”

Only then did Tak Yo-beom sense the crisis.

He tried to pull back his body.

But he couldn’t.

Because he had concentrated all his qi energy into the Fire Crystal.

Currently, he was no different from being one body with the Fire Crystal.

The moment he tried to move and dodge.

His qi energy sent to the Fire Crystal would be retrieved.

And at that moment.

That Sword Aura would cut him.

It was obvious.

Judging by the approaching speed.

He wouldn’t be able to move fast enough to dodge it.

It was a situation with no way forward or back.

Fear settled in Tak Yo-beom’s eyes.

Standing opposite him.

The sight of Ha Mu-baek gripping his sword and gritting his teeth.

He had obtained the power of the Flood Dragon.

A monster so powerful that even that strength couldn’t eliminate it?

He couldn’t believe it, couldn’t accept it.

However, the sword aura that bastard was unleashing was slowly approaching him.

“Ugh, uugh…”

The sword aura had now penetrated about halfway.

The corners of Ha Mu-baek’s mouth slightly rose.

As if he sensed something.

And then.

The sword aura burst forth with dazzling light once more.

The speed of cutting through the fire crystal seemed to quicken.

In an instant, it split almost all of the remaining half.

“No, no, this can’t…”

The moment Tak Yo-beom’s terrified voice flowed out.

Crack.

Severing Sunset cut through the fire crystal.

And split Tak Yo-beom in half just like that.

“Kugh. This… this… this cannot be…”

Tak Yo-beom uttered his final words and collapsed, dying instantly.

Just as Han Seol-bing and Bing Chwi-seol were about to burst into joyful cheers at that sight.

The fire crystal split in two.

From there, a tremendous storm of flames began to rage.

It was the fire qi that Tak Yo-beom had possessed.

Since the master who controlled it had died and disappeared.

It began to rampage wildly on its own.

Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

The flames that had reached the level of blue flame spread in all directions as if they had a will of their own, beginning to burn everything.

“No, no, this can’t be…”

Bing Chwi-seol was startled.

Now the flames weren’t just rampaging within the Tak Family’s grounds.

They had the momentum to escape the Tak Family and burn down all of Ice Heaven Palace.

Their movement was as if trying to spew out anger and resentment.

The blue flames divided into several parts writhed like an enraged dragon.

Tremendous heat spread out in all directions.

Even though the flames hadn’t reached them yet.

The buildings of Ice Heaven Palace around the Tak Family spontaneously ignited from the heat alone.

Ha Mu-baek frowned as he watched that scene.

He had killed the enemy.

But an even greater disaster had occurred afterward.

Though the master who controlled the qi had died, the remaining qi was rampaging even more wildly.

Qi that didn’t fade away together when its master died.

“Just what is its true identity…”

Ha Mu-baek muttered with a serious expression.

He couldn’t leave that qi as it was.

If he did, it would devour not just the Tak Family but all of Ice Heaven Palace.

The blue flames rampaged wildly as if their anger had reached its peak.

It looked as if a fire dragon had descended upon this land.

Ha Mu-baek tilted his head and stepped into the flames.

“I don’t know if I can do it.”

But his expression showed the will to definitely accomplish it.

“Still, I have to do it. Well.”

Ha Mu-baek cracked his neck.

A small smile appeared on his lips.

Even for someone like him, could he really withstand that heat?

Could he eliminate all of that?

He didn’t know.

Even so, he had to eliminate it.

No, he would eliminate it.

It was like a fifty-fifty gamble, but such things weren’t his concern.

Tak Yo-beom who had handled such qi as if it were nothing.

What kind of mystery this was, he couldn’t understand.

He had rushed here without a moment’s hesitation because Han Seol-bing had asked for help.

But who would have known such a great disaster was waiting?

Ha Mu-baek waved once toward where Han Seol-bing was, then moved his steps toward where the blue flames burned most intensely.

‘This is precarious. If I make one wrong move, I might die.’

When hit by Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder, he had really thought he might die.

The qi now before his eyes made Ha Mu-baek feel the same sense of crisis as back then.

‘Still, well, dealing with these guys comes first. My survival comes after. They said people are precious in the North Sea.’

Ha Mu-baek recalled the problems of the North Sea that he had once heard from Han Seol-bing.

That’s why he had restrained from killing as much as possible.

They were people of the North Sea anyway. Since they were precious, he thought he shouldn’t kill them at will.

His internal energy was now running low.

If he had known this would happen, he should have completely recovered his internal energy through energy circulation and breathing after arriving in the North Sea.

His heart was urgent.

Because it was Han Seol-bing’s earnest call.

He had rushed from Muchang to the North Sea without rest, starting the fight with considerable internal energy already consumed.

Ha Mu-baek drew up his last remaining internal energy.

He raised his sword straight up.

He aimed at the place where the blue flame’s qi was most concentrated.

“Dan, Dan-ju…”

Han Seol-bing called out to Ha Mu-baek with a trembling voice as she watched him disappear into the flames.

She didn’t know what he was trying to do.

But she thought such crazy flames would be too much even for Ha Mu-baek.

In the past.

Though Ha Mu-baek had survived even the tremendous flames of Ten Thousand Heaven Golden Chain Explosive Thunder.

The heat, fire qi, and blue flames visible now were incomparable to those from back then.

The blue flames burned even more fiercely, raising their momentum even now.

“Ah, ahhh…”

A sigh of regret flowed from Bing Chwi-seol’s mouth at Ha Mu-baek’s completely disappeared figure.

Without realizing it, she grasped her necklace.

It was the sacred object of Ice Heaven Palace’s Palace Lord, passed down from the First Palace Lord.

Ice Heaven Cold Soul Chain.

A necklace that the First Palace Lord had personally made by processing cold jade.

That sacred object, which she had only considered a symbol of the Palace Lord.

When the tremendous fire qi spreading in all directions touched it.

It emitted light in Bing Chwi-seol’s hands.

“Huh?”

Bing Chwi-seol was startled by the sudden change.

Regardless of her surprise.

The necklace rose up on its own.

In the center of the pure white cold jade.

A subtle light began to seep out, then split left and right, opening like a door.

From there, a pure white arrow of light shot forth.

It drew a graceful arc and fell into the center of the Tak Family estate where the storm of heat was raging.

Pop!

With a truly small sound it seemed to burst, then contrary to that, a massive circle of pure white light spread out.

The pure white energy that spread while embracing the tremendous heat left by Tak Yo-beom.

Containing a coldness that seemed capable of freezing the world in an instant, it soon began to change.

A storm of pure white ice and snow began to rage.

The writhing heat of blue flames and the coldness of the pure white ice storm.

Tremendous energies began to battle on the ground of the Tak Family estate.

Pure white steam continuously rose up.

Bing Chwi-seol and Han Seol-bing ultimately couldn’t withstand that energy and had to retreat further back.

“Palace Lord… what on earth is that?”

At Han Seol-bing’s question, Bing Chwi-seol shook her head.

She had no idea either.

Who would have thought that the Palace Lord’s sacred object contained such an arrangement of energy.

She never dreamed of it.

No, none of the previous Palace Lords knew either.

There were no records or mentions of such an arrangement.

On the grounds of the Tak Family estate, only Ha Mu-baek stood alone, watching the entangled battle of the two energies.

Heat and cold.

Fire energy and ice energy.

Flames and ice.

Blue flames and white ice.

It was truly a fierce battle.

Just when it seemed the heat was gradually gaining the upper hand.

The coldness slowly began to fade.

Once again, heat dominated the grounds of the Tak Family estate.

However.

It was different from before.

Its force had been reduced by half.

It was thanks to the coldness that shot out from Bing Chwi-seol’s necklace.

Even so, it was still tremendous heat and flames.

Ha Mu-baek smiled genuinely.

“This much seems manageable.”

That’s what he thought.

Ha Mu-baek’s sword cut through the center where the blue flame energy was most concentrated.

The heat writhed in resistance, but Ha Mu-baek’s final strike, loaded with his last internal energy, mercilessly cut through it.

As the heat clearly diminished.

The ice energy that had remained until the very last moment suddenly appeared and settled on Ha Mu-baek’s left shoulder.

Ha Mu-baek grasped that energy with his right hand.

“Well, it seems possible.”

Ha Mu-baek absorbed the ice energy just like that.

Ha Mu-baek walked step by step into the place that was the source of this heat, which he had split with his sword.

He sat cross-legged.

The ice energy that Ha Mu-baek had absorbed swirled around his body, increasing his resistance to fire energy.

Protecting his blood meridians, protecting his dantian, and protecting his entire body.

There, Ha Mu-baek began to operate the Mugeuk Yeoui Heart Method.

The Mugeuk Yeoui Heart Method, infused with the profound truth he had realized from his battle with the Primordial Fragment, began to greedily devour the heat energy from all directions.
