Chapter 369. Bullshit

 

 

 

 

 

[It was a draw.]

 

Go Hu-rak answered calmly.

 

[A draw?]

 

[The strength of the two could not be determined as superior or inferior. Both won, and both lost. Since the result was mutual destruction, it should be called a draw.]

 

Taecho, who was the beginning of the world and purely one, and Manhwang, who was said to be the world itself.

 

Their powers were equal.

 

[So? Is that the end? Didn’t you say this was a sublime story about the beginning of the world?]

 

[Did I not say it was mutual destruction? Taecho shattered into six fragments. And Manhwang was torn into eight pieces. In doing so, light came into being, and darkness was born. The earth was created, and the sky appeared.]

 

[….]

 

Ha Mu-baek just listened silently.

 

How should he accept this?

 

Wasn’t this like a story of creation that would appear in the scriptures of the Demon Cult or Blood Cult bastards?

 

[Water flowed, and fire blazed. Wind blew and trees took root. Thus, the world finally became a true world.]

 

[Then isn’t that enough? It seems Manhwang’s purpose was achieved? Why would he continue trying to fight Taecho?]

 

[….]

 

At the sharp question, Go Hu-rak closed his mouth.

 

Because Ha Mu-baek was right.

 

If he fought in rebellion against Taecho who existed alone and purely.

 

Even if the result was mutual destruction.

 

Since a world in the true sense had opened, that purpose could be said to have been achieved.

 

Yet still trying to fight Taecho.

 

It was contradictory.

 

[That is. Because Taecho’s destruction was not the end. Taecho is constantly trying to return to oneness. The fragments are seeking other fragments. To prevent this, all fragments must ultimately be completely annihilated. That is Manhwang’s mission and duty.]

 

At the answer that came after a moment, Ha Mu-baek felt doubt, but did not show such signs.

 

This was doubt that Ha Mu-baek had because he had experienced Taecho.

 

Because he remembered that the power called Taecho seduced those who gained power from that abyss and controlled their will.

 

But it did not make them seek other fragments.

 

Wasn’t that how it was with Hyeon-hwang and Hyeon-gil?

 

They encountered the Primordial Abyss, but did not seek or covet other fragments.

 

‘No, was that abyss also waiting for the right time?’

 

Like Go Hu-rak, this bastard who entered inside himself.

 

After absorbing the disciple’s memories, erasing the soul and stealing the body to extend lifespan.

 

He had repeated such terrible and vile acts countless times.

 

This could no longer be called human.

 

It was a monster.

 

Ha Mu-baek thought that perhaps this was not Go Hu-rak’s will but the will of something called Manhwang.

 

Something like the Primordial Abyss, there was no way Manhwang wouldn’t have such a thing.

 

After all, both had fought with their own will from the beginning.

 

[So you fought against Taecho?]

 

The story Go Hu-rak had left as tattoos on his own body.

 

It was written there that he was defeated by Taecho.

 

[It is the mission of one who inherited Manhwang’s will.]

 

[And so you lost?]

 

Ha Mu-baek’s follow-up question.

 

Had he touched a nerve?

 

Go Hu-rak’s voice changed.

 

No, the emotion contained within it changed.

 

Anger.

 

Resentment.

 

Indignation.

 

Vengeance.

 

Contempt.

 

It was a voice like a whirlwind of countless emotions.

 

[I lost.]

 

Short words.

 

Ha Mu-baek smiled slightly.

 

[Then in the end, isn’t Taecho stronger?]

 

And the provocation that followed.

 

He could feel Go Hu-rak’s soul reacting violently.

 

[It was not a fair fight.]

 

It was an answer where bubbling anger could be felt.

 

[Fair?]

 

[That is so. One Manhwang fought against two Taecho. It was bound to be insufficient. It was a cowardly and despicable fight, a battle.]

 

Was he recalling that day three thousand years ago?

 

It was a voice filled with indignation.

 

[How pathetic.]

 

Ha Mu-baek provoked once more.

 

[You know nothing, so you spout nonsense!]

 

Go Hu-rak burst into angry shouts.

 

[Two of the six fragments that Taecho shattered into joined together. I was only one of the eight pieces that Manhwang was torn into. It was a fight where losing was natural!]

 

Certainly, the tattoo had written that he was defeated by two, not one.

 

[Anyway, the result is that you lost.]

 

Ha Mu-baek said with a slight smile.

 

[No matter the process, no matter the conditions, only results remain in battle. Just like your disciples had their bodies stolen by you. No matter how earnestly they lived, no matter how earnestly they cultivated, regardless of the process, they met the result of having their bodies stolen by you. The reason is because you were stronger.]

 

[Keke. What sophistry.]

 

Go Hu-rak let out a killing laugh.

 

[Your disciples were defeated by you, had their bodies stolen and their souls disappeared. And you too were defeated by Taecho’s fragments and became like this.]

 

Ha Mu-baek spoke calmly.

 

As if the current situation was karmic retribution for the evil deeds he had committed.

 

[Yes. Good. I’ll acknowledge your sophistry. According to your sophistry, your result will also be determined. Having your body stolen by me. Keke. Now, have all your curiosities been resolved? Then I shall make good use of your body.]

 

Go Hu-rak’s emotion, having passed through anger at Ha Mu-baek’s provocation, reached the exhilaration of being able to annihilate his soul.

 

Ha Mu-baek’s soul barrier was already loosened to the extreme.

 

Go Hu-rak crossed that barrier and quickly began to erode Ha Mu-baek’s soul.

 

The territory he had claimed was already four-tenths.

 

Go Hu-rak tried to expand his territory even faster and stronger, but.

 

Suddenly he was blocked.

 

[Wh, what….]

 

Go Hu-rak’s flustered voice reached Ha Mu-baek’s ears.

 

[You. Were you so focused on eliminating my soul that you didn’t properly examine my body? Or can you only perceive Manhwang’s energy?]

 

Ha Mu-baek asked in a triumphant voice.

 

The time spent talking with Go Hu-rak.

 

It had meaning in resolving his curiosities.

 

But it also had another meaning.

 

The clash with the soul’s will.

 

Attack and defense.

 

Barriers.

 

He had adapted to some degree in using these things.

 

While confirming that Go Hu-rak’s soul was reacting and moving, he gradually followed and learned from it.

 

Thanks to this, he gradually loosened the barrier to let him occupy four-tenths of the territory.

 

And then he could solidify the barrier afterward, blocking him from finishing it off.

 

[Even so. How can it be this solid… This is ridiculous…]

 

Go Hu-rak was truly flustered.

 

It was something he had never experienced in the process of stealing his disciples’ bodies.

 

It was confusion arising from unfamiliarity.

 

[Well, then let’s do this properly from now on.]

 

Ha Mu-baek spoke with a voice filled with laughter.

 

Ha Mu-baek’s dantian moved.

 

Not the inner core where poison energy, fire energy, ice energy, and internal energy harmonized together.

 

The dantian where Ha Mu-baek’s pure internal energy resided.

 

The internal energy moved toward his head.

 

He had already confirmed the position where Go Hu-rak’s soul was located.

 

Noeho Acupoint.

 

The acupoint located at the lower part of the back of the head, three inches behind the Baekoe Acupoint at the center of the head.

 

It was an extremely dangerous acupoint of the governing vessel to carelessly circulate internal energy through.

 

An acupoint near the Baekoe Acupoint where Conception and Governing Vessel Circulation occurs, where one could become an idiot if done wrong.

 

Ha Mu-baek’s internal energy moved toward that place.

 

First, he solidified the blood meridians and strengthened the acupoint.

 

Then slowly moved his internal energy toward Go Hu-rak.

 

[What, what, what is this!! This, this, this energy!! What on earth is it!!]

 

It was a cry of shock and confusion.

 

[Taecho.]

 

Ha Mu-baek answered briefly.

 

There was no way Go Hu-rak wouldn’t know what that was.

 

[How, how… This is impossible! This is impossible! How can one person have both Manhwang and Taecho at the same time… No, more than that, what is this tremendous energy! It’s incomparable to the Manhwang energy you possess… How can this be…]

 

Go Hu-rak’s scream as if his soul had left his body from being so shocked.

 

Ha Mu-baek paid no attention.

 

[Mugeuk, Wish Fulfillment, and Radiance.]

 

Ha Mu-baek told him one by one about the fragments he had come to possess.

 

[This, this is impossible! It’s a lie! Three fragments gathered but no Abyss! This, this is fraud! Fraud!!!]

 

Go Hu-rak’s voice began to change bizarrely.

 

A voice that echoed as if two people were speaking simultaneously.

 

[Now you finally come out. Manhwang.]

 

Ha Mu-baek confirmed that his prediction was correct.

 

[Keuruk. This, this cannot be… Since it has come to this, let’s die together! Even if I fail to continue a new life, if I share my end with the owner of three fragments, it won’t be a loss. Kuaaaak!]

 

Go Hu-rak’s soul began to rampage.

 

The Manhwang energy that had entered Ha Mu-baek’s body also moved violently on its own.

 

Go Hu-rak’s soul’s desperate struggle as if to burst Ha Mu-baek’s Noeho Acupoint.

 

Manhwang’s madness as if to burst all the blood meridians in Ha Mu-baek’s body.

 

But it was useless.

 

Because Ha Mu-baek had prepared for it first.

 

Ha Mu-baek’s energy gradually tightened around Go Hu-rak’s soul more and more.

 

[Kuaaaak. Indeed. Indeed you are a descendant of Taecho. How detestable and vile!! How unfair and resentful!!]

 

Go Hu-rak, Manhwang screamed.

 

[You said it yourself. That you would take my body as a result? I’ll return those words to you. As a result, I will annihilate your soul’s will. And you who annihilated another’s, no, a disciple’s soul and stole their body are more vile and evil. You bastard.]

 

[Kuaaaaak!]

 

Go Hu-rak, Manhwang screamed.

 

Because that soul, that will had half disappeared.

 

It was a scream filled with agony.

 

And something.

 

He felt something familiar.

 

[This, this is… Mugeuk and Wish Fulfillment… No, Infinite Ruyi…!!!]

 

Ha Mu-baek had said Mugeuk, Wish Fulfillment, and Radiance.

 

But Go Hu-rak felt it differently.

 

It seemed Manhwang’s deep and profound will felt the same way.

 

Infinite Ruyi, Radiance.

 

That’s how they perceived it.

 

[You, you! What, what is your relationship with Seon Mu-han!!]

 

Go Hu-rak’s voice subsided and a bizarre voice echoed.

 

[Who are you? You don’t seem to be Go Hu-rak?]

 

[I am Narak. The supreme will of Manhwang. What relationship do you have with Seon Mu-han! How do you possess the unified energy of Mugeuk and Wish Fulfillment!!]

 

Manhwang’s Narak screamed and shouted.

 

A cry mixed with resentment and grudge.

 

Seon Mu-han.

 

It wasn’t an unfamiliar name to Ha Mu-baek.

 

A name he knew.

 

He knew that person was also from three thousand years ago.

 

Because he had heard so from his Master.

 

He knew it, but couldn’t quite believe it.

 

However, now he had no choice but to believe it.

 

[He is our sect’s founding patriarch.]

 

A calm answer.

 

[…]

 

Narak and Go Hu-rak were momentarily speechless.

 

[This, this cannot be. This cannot be! Seon Mu-han! I spent a long, long time here after being defeated by that damned bastard… And now I’m being defeated like this again by his descendant? This fucking!! Kuaaaaak!!!]

 

Now Go Hu-rak’s soul had less than ten percent left.

 

In other words.

 

Narak also had less than ten percent remaining.

 

[I will curse you! Seon Mu-han too! You too! I will curse all who possess Infinite Ruyi!]

 

A scream filled with deadly poison.

 

[Bullshit.]

 

Ha Mu-baek’s brief curse.

 

[If you hadn’t coveted my body in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.]

 

The energy of Infinite Ruyi and Radiance swirled.

 

Completely annihilating the will of Go Hu-rak and Manhwang.

 

[Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!]

 

Only their screams filled with deadly poison and resentment echoed in Ha Mu-baek’s head.

 

Regardless of that.

 

Ha Mu-baek immediately entered energy circulation.

 

The Manhwang energy rampaging after losing its master.

 

Now it was time to annihilate this.

 

It was a decision made during the long conversation with Go Hu-rak.

 

Energy that was incompatible with the sect’s internal energy he had learned and had fought against for many years.

 

Though he felt tempted by its powerful and tremendous amount.

 

It made sense to eliminate it.

 

A moment ago.

 

The moment he encountered the being called Narak, that judgment became more certain.

 

The act of raising a disciple, then eliminating that soul to steal the body.

 

It wouldn’t be Go Hu-rak’s idea alone.

 

The being called Narak.

 

The will contained within Manhwang Energy would have instigated and influenced this.

 

If one were to guess based on the case of Hyeon-gil and Hyeon-hwang, whom Ha Mu-baek had encountered, meeting the Primordial Abyss.

 

Ha Mu-baek’s firmly reinforced Blood Meridians were gradually reaching their limits.

 

The qi energy in his Dantian and Inner Core began moving frantically.

 

Manhwang resisted massively and violently.

 

But as Ha Mu-baek mobilized all the qi energy he possessed, it gradually began to quiet down.
