Chapter 362. Unleashed
‘What exactly is the source of these flames?’
Myo Gu-eung frowned as he watched the flames Ha Mu-baek had ignited.
They were burning away the Poison Energy originating from the Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence far too easily.
No matter how much fire was the natural enemy of poison.
This was going beyond that level.
The Poison Energy Myo Gu-eung was emitting was growing stronger and stronger.
Yet within the range of the flames, it was helplessly burned away and disappeared.
He was emitting Poison Energy in a wider range than the flames, targeting even those behind Ha Mu-baek.
This bastard seemed urgent for a moment, but then became steadfast.
And the flames grew even fiercer.
‘Still. I am being sloppy.’
Watching such Ha Mu-baek, Myo Gu-eung reproached himself.
He truly was being sloppy.
It was only a short while ago that he had decided to give his all from the beginning.
But was he giving his all right now?
He was not.
The amount of Poison Energy he was emitting was tremendous.
However.
It was not the Poison Energy itself.
Poison Among Poisons.
Absolute Supreme Poison.
Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
That pure poison was still coiled up inside Myo Gu-eung.
He should have used this from the beginning.
He had still been arrogant.
Myo Gu-eung’s two eyes turned pitch black.
His whites completely disappeared.
From his body, black and dark energy began to bubble up and rise.
The poison essence that had been coiled up began to stretch and move.
Chiiiiik.
Ha Mu-baek’s flames still burned Myo Gu-eung’s Poison Energy.
But the toxicity contained in the acrid smoke was different.
Ha Mu-baek twitched, showing a reaction.
He felt that the toxicity of the smoke that entered his body through breathing was different from before.
He immediately stopped breathing and drew out all the Fire Energy in his body to create flames.
Flame Transformation Wall.
In front of Ha Mu-baek, a high and thick wall made of fierce flames with the momentum to burn down the world was created.
Kuaaaang!!!
The Poison Energy that had been flowing past Ha Mu-baek’s surroundings disappeared and gathered into one point.
The black poison that flowed out thick and sticky from Myo Gu-eung’s body.
The pure Poison Among Poisons of the Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
Flowed out as pitch-black energy and moved to target Ha Mu-baek.
The energy that bubbled and gathered formed the shape of a giant spear.
And immediately flew toward the Flame Wall that Ha Mu-baek had created.
Kukukukuku kwakwakwakwa kwang!
In the fierce battle between Poison Energy and Fire Energy.
The atmosphere and earth trembled and rang out.
Myo Gu-eung gritted his teeth and glared at Ha Mu-baek.
It was truly an all-out strike.
A do-or-die battle focused solely on Ha Mu-baek.
Chiiiiiiiik.
From the Flame Wall, dark blue smoke continuously rose.
It was poison smoke.
Even though the poison was burned, that terrible Poison Energy remained intact.
Previously, only the poison outside the range of flames had possessed dense Poison Energy.
But this smoke itself was Absolute Supreme Poison.
Poison smoke rising in all directions.
The cave where Namman’s poison essence had been located.
The poison that remained around it had been like this too.
Because it couldn’t be burned away with a single flame, hadn’t he created tremendous flames?
Yet some poison had still remained.
The Poison Energy that Myo Gu-eung was now frantically shooting out was even more toxic than that.
Ha Mu-baek gritted his teeth while holding his breath.
The Poison Energy that gradually flowed in through his skin.
Was burned away as internal flames arose.
Yet the thick Poison Energy remained and tried to poison Ha Mu-baek.
Ten Thousand Poisons Cannot Invade Body.
Because that level could sufficiently block the remaining poison.
He was still holding out.
External and internal.
Because Ha Mu-baek had to create flames in two places.
He was gradually being pushed back.
The Flame Wall grew thicker and thicker.
The range it could block became smaller by that much.
Eventually.
It changed to a small size about the size of a shield that could block the Poison Among Poisons spear.
Instead, it became thicker as if it would never be penetrated.
Nevertheless.
Kikikikikikik.
With a sound as if gnawing at the flames.
The Poison Among Poisons spear gradually bored into the Flame Shield.
The corners of Myo Gu-eung’s mouth slightly rose.
It was natural.
If those flames that bastard was emitting were all he had.
Victory would be his.
Even if their power was the same, he had far more energy.
The source of Ha Mu-baek’s Fire Energy was the dragon’s energy.
And he hadn’t absorbed it all, scattering what exceeded his ability into midair.
Thanks to that, many people in Ice Heaven Palace had gained opportunities.
On the other hand, Myo Gu-eung had completely absorbed all the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
The dragon and the Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
Though the years they had accumulated might differ, the difference between not fully absorbing and fully absorbing.
Although Myo Gu-eung had only completely dissolved half.
The energy he was currently using was that remaining half that couldn’t be dissolved.
In terms of sheer quantity of energy, Myo Gu-eung had no choice but to have the advantage.
Moreover.
Since he was operating all of that pure and vicious poison energy from the Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
Even Ha Mu-baek was being affected by the poison energy and couldn’t focus entirely on external matters.
The acrid poison smoke rose even more abundantly.
Now it had transformed into something like fog covering the surroundings.
‘This won’t do.’
Ha Mu-baek himself was feeling it too.
That he was at a disadvantage in terms of absolute quantity of energy.
On top of that.
The energy he was currently operating wasn’t something familiar.
It had only been about an hour since he started handling it.
The initial sense of disparity had lessened somewhat.
But it still wasn’t easy.
‘If I could also move the ice energy…’
He would be able to exert a bit more power.
Right now, handling just the fire energy was his limit.
Actually, it was natural if you thought about it.
Though fire energy and ice energy were chasing each other’s tails and swirling in his inner core.
The two energies were mutually opposing.
Using them simultaneously was an impossible thing.
He had tried moving both just in case, but only the fire energy responded to his will.
The origin of Radiance Great Heaven Power was Ice Crystal Radiant Great Heaven Power.
Even though it was originally an Internal Energy Mental Method that handled ice energy.
‘Is it truly impossible to simultaneously activate mutually opposing energies?’
Even so, he had to make it work.
He was someone who had always created breakthroughs even in worse situations than this.
While somehow blocking the poison energy that was penetrating the Flame Transformation shield.
Organizing his internal body that was in chaos from the invasion of poison smoke.
And additionally, he had to move the opposing ice energy.
Right now.
‘If I could just freeze this poison smoke…’
It wouldn’t scatter in all directions.
And it wouldn’t invade his interior either.
Ha Mu-baek was worried about those behind him.
But at least what was more important right now was somehow moving the ice energy to block this guy.
Ha Mu-baek’s firm will moved.
Radiance responded to his will.
Radiance Great Heaven Power.
Just as Bing Chwi-seol had used Ice Crystal Radiant Great Heaven Power to infuse ice crystal energy into Han Seol-bing.
The ice energy from his inner core flowed out into Ha Mu-baek’s body.
‘Freeze.’
Ha Mu-baek’s will-filled cry burst forth from within.
***
“Yeon-ah. Fall back. As far back as possible.”
Dang Ja-cheong spoke urgently while moving backward.
Blocking in front of his granddaughter.
He drew up his internal energy to the extreme.
He was the first to notice the approach of the Formless Poison.
Soon, a look of dismay appeared on Yeo Hong-gi’s face.
‘What on earth is happening…’
Though Formless Poison had flowed out from Myo Gu-eung’s body when his internal energy scattered, it wasn’t to the degree of spreading while encroaching on such a wide area.
The poison energy had only lingered around Myo Gu-eung’s vicinity.
However.
Just how strong was this energy.
That it was creeping all the way to Cheondok Valley.
The leaves of nearby trees had already turned yellow.
‘Could it be… Sa-baek has also released Purple Light Acid Poison?’
It was an impossible thing.
Though it was Internal Energy Scattering Poison that had first revealed itself to the world today.
For both people who were first administered the poison to escape from its effects.
Though it had taken quite a long time with nearly a full day passing.
It should still be a time when the Internal Energy Scattering Poison was working.
Dang Ja-cheong looked into the distance with serious eyes.
Following the poison energy of Formless Poison flowing in all directions.
The mountain.
The forest.
Were dying yellow.
The energy of death was covering Gwangheung Mountain.
“Yeon-ah. Are you alright?”
Continuously retreating backward, Dang Ja-cheong asked worriedly.
“Yes.”
A strained answer.
Dang Ja-cheong’s complexion was dark.
At the same time, he looked at Yeo Hong-gi with reproachful eyes.
Why hadn’t he prepared an antidote.
When Myo Gu-eung was poisoned by the Internal Energy Scattering Poison.
That time had truly been the opportunity.
Yeo Hong-gi too was busy stepping backward repeatedly with a reddened complexion.
Dang Ja-cheong looked toward where Ha Mu-baek would be with worried eyes again.
Hadn’t he been struck by Formless Poison right in front of Myo Gu-eung.
Then.
Centered around some location.
The trees that had been turning yellow became black and withered twisted.
Confirming that sight, Dang Ja-cheong opened his eyes wide.
Toxicity incomparable to Formless Poison.
Only one thing came to mind in Dang Ja-cheong’s head.
“Yeon-ah. We must get as far away as possible!”
Dang Ja-cheong urgently shouted while grabbing his granddaughter’s hand and running.
Even deploying lightness skill.
They had to escape much farther before that poison energy reached this place.
That was.
Definitely the poison energy of Ten Thousand Year Poison Essence.
If it was that, not only himself but even someone with immunity to poison wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Running at full power, he glanced back.
‘Please be safe. I’m counting on you.’
Ha Mu-baek.
There was no other way but to trust him.
Truly.
He felt like abandoning the title of Poison Emperor.
***
Cha-cha-cha-chang! Cha-cha-chang! Chang-chang!
In an instant.
Within a radius of five zhang centered on Ha Mu-baek.
Pure white frost descended.
The dark red mist of poison smoke.
The poison mist froze solid and scattered to the ground with a rustling sound.
“What?”
Myo Gu-eung was startled.
The bastard who was spewing flames hot enough to burn the world.
Was freezing his surroundings.
What kind of impossible miracle was this?
Fire wasn’t only the natural enemy of poison.
Fire was also the natural enemy of water and ice.
That bastard was now using fire to counter poison, his natural enemy, while simultaneously scattering ice, fire’s natural enemy, around him.
Was it even possible for a human to use two opposing energies simultaneously?
‘Perfect.’
Ha Mu-baek’s eyes gleamed.
The frost that had wrapped around the Poison Energy and fallen to the ground.
Quickly melted.
The ground around Ha Mu-baek turned black.
It was transforming into Poisoned Earth.
Ha Mu-baek glanced around his surroundings.
The trees had already turned pitch black and withered to death.
The space had transformed into one where only death existed.
“Vicious bastard.”
Ha Mu-baek muttered lowly.
“You’re the vicious one.”
Myo Gu-eung, who heard that small mutter, frowned and spoke.
Wooooong.
With those words, the Poison Spear moved once again.
It wasn’t simply thrusting forward.
It began to slowly spiral.
A helix.
It was regrettable that he had only thought of this movement now.
But it was a solution he had devised because he felt a sense of crisis.
The Poison Spear, which began rotating in a spiral, penetrated Ha Mu-baek’s Fire Shield at rapid speed.
A speed incomparable to when it simply thrust.
“Freeze.”
Ha Mu-baek muttered again with determination.
Ice Energy from ice crystals exploded from his body and began freezing the Poison Spear.
The rotation gradually slowed and finally stopped.
“How dare you!”
With those words.
The Poison Spear split into five.
The ice shattered.
The Poison Spears bypassed the shield and flew toward Ha Mu-baek.
Clang! Clang-clang-clang!
Ice shields that appeared in midair blocked the Poison Spears.
Sharrrrk.
The ice shields turned to ice powder and scattered, but they stopped the movement of the Poison Spears.
At that moment.
Ha Mu-baek raised his sword.
Flarrrk.
A sword blazing with flames.
He swung it directly toward Myo Gu-eung.
Severing Sunset.
It cut through the instant of time, split space, and flew toward Myo Gu-eung, but.
Thud!
Pitch-black, viscous Poison Energy wrapped around Myo Gu-eung’s entire body.
Like armor.
The exchange between the two gradually intensified.
Myo Gu-eung’s Poison Energy flowed in all directions, but.
It froze from the Ice Energy Ha Mu-baek released and scattered to the ground, unable to expand its influence.
Fierce repetition of attack and defense.
Thrust and dodge, block and counterattack.
The two continuously unleashed killing intent that could immediately kill each other, but.
Neither succeeded.
‘He’s becoming more refined.’
In the midst of this, Ha Mu-baek could feel that Myo Gu-eung was growing.
Someone who possessed tremendous power but lacked real combat experience.
Was rapidly accumulating experience while facing Ha Mu-baek, a powerful opponent.
‘I must kill him.’
Ha Mu-baek steeled his resolve once again.
‘What the hell is this monster?’
Meanwhile, Myo Gu-eung was gradually growing tired.
He didn’t even recognize that he was growing.
He was just getting increasingly fed up with the damn bastard in front of him who kept blocking no matter how much he pounded.
Ha Mu-baek read that expression in Myo Gu-eung’s eyes.
That his enemy was gradually losing fighting spirit.
He couldn’t miss this opportunity.
‘Here I go.’
A move that came to mind in the midst of fierce combat.
Something he conceived while watching the circulation of Fire Energy and Ice Energy that followed one after another.
Ha Mu-baek swung his sword.
He greatly swirled Fire Energy and Ice Energy, and loaded that roughly rotating energy directly into his sword.
The Soul Crushing technique unleashed this way.
It was completely different energy from before.
The moment Soul Crushing, mixed with red and white energy, devoured Myo Gu-eung’s Poison Energy.
The two energies unified.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!!!!
A tremendous explosion of monstrous force occurred.
“Kugh.”
Even Ha Mu-baek, who had swung the sword, couldn’t withstand it and had to step back from the tremendous storm of energy.
The collision of two opposing energies—no, three energies—was tremendous.
Only a large crater and ruins remained at the center.
Without even a moment to be shocked by that tremendous sight, Ha Mu-baek’s eyes turned toward one place.
