Chapter 488 – The Supreme Sword (2)

“Now that everyone has shown themselves, I guess I can do it properly.”

‘!?’

Do it properly?

What nonsense are you talking about……

Seuwik!
As Mok Gyeong-un traced the blade of the demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword with his sword finger,

Seureureureureureuk!
The blade turned completely black.

Heumchit!
‘This is……’

Mok Gan, who had become one with the Great Strength King, felt a chill down his spine at the abyss-like darkness emanating from the sword. As if instinctively sensing something ominous, he opened his mouth and unleashed a roaring gale.

Kweoeoeoeoeoeo!
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The wind pressure of demonic energy spewing from his mouth created a gale that rushed towards Mok Gyeong-un.

While the warriors of the three major forces gathered behind him, including their leaders, were bewildered and at a loss of what to do in the face of the approaching gale,

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un swung his sword towards the gale.

Chwak!
A sharpness that cut through space.

Eventually, a black line appeared in the air, and the gale split in half.

‘!!!!!!!!’

The experts of the three major forces watching from behind lost their words and let out exclamations.

“Ahhh!”

What on earth was that sword just now?

Every sword cultivator has an ideal sword they imagine.

But Mok Gyeong-un’s sword just now was literally close to perfection.

‘This guy……’

The red light in the third eye of Mok Gan, who had become one with the Great Strength King Ox Demon King, flickered like a wavering candle flame.

Although he had hastily unleashed a gale of demonic energy after sensing something ominous from him, to think there was a sword that could cut it in an instant.

Hadn’t even the enlarged formless swords struggled to block the gale?

Then does this mean he really hadn’t revealed his full power?

For a moment, Mok Gan’s mind became complicated.

The fact that he didn’t reveal this despite it not being a situation to spare any strength meant that your real aim wasn’t to find this lord, but rather……

Seuk!
Mok Gan’s eyes turned towards the Golden Heavenly King floating in the sky.

Mok Gan’s eyes wavered even more as he looked at the Heavenly King.

That was because he could see that the corners of the Golden Heavenly King’s mouth had turned upwards.

This being, who rarely showed emotion due to looking down on all creation including the Heavenly clan that followed him, had a face full of ecstasy.

Does this mean that even after seeing this one sword strike, not even a hint of discomfort or wariness arose?

His guess was accurate.

The Golden Heavenly King didn’t feel any wariness towards Mok Gyeong-un’s sword.

Rather,

Ukssinukssin!
It reminded him of the pain of the core.

The only being that had ever left pain on himself, an absolute god to whom all creation should show reverence.

He didn’t believe that this being had lost all power and disappeared from the human realm.

That’s why he had spent time searching for him through the eye.

And his judgment was correct.

That bastard was indeed alive.

-Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

The Golden Heavenly King burst into laughter.

His eyes were full of mockery as he laughed, even tilting his head back, though it was unclear what he found so amusing.

Of course, he had thought he would be alive.

But to think the reason he couldn’t find him until now was because he had become a human.

-To think the only being who could match this king in power has become a trivial mortal, barely clinging to life. Where else could such amusement be found? Hahahahahahahahaha!

It seemed ridiculous that he had even worried about the slightest possibility.

So much so that his attempt to eliminate future troubles by finding the being struggling to survive seemed futile.

The laughter completely disappeared from the Golden Heavenly King’s face after laughing for a while.

With eyes that had become apathetic as if he had lost interest, the Golden Heavenly King raised his hand.

At that moment,

Uuuuuuuuung!
The ornate golden bracelet on his right wrist floated up on its own, becoming a golden ring shape and growing larger.

Watching this, Mok Gyeong-un hurriedly shouted in a loud voice.

“Close your eyes!!!!!!”

An enormous shout like a lion’s roar.

However, the Golden Heavenly King smiled as if to say it was too late.

Eventually, an intensely colorful light flowed out from the enlarged golden ring.

It was so dazzling that anyone would have their gaze drawn to it.

Then,

Kweoeoeoeoeo!
Kuuuuuuu!
Kekekekekekeke!
The evil spirits exposed to the light let out wild roars as if bewitched by something.

If they had simply roared, it wouldn’t have been a problem, but suddenly the bodies of the evil spirits began to swell and transform into even more ferocious forms.

Udeuk! Udeudeudeudeuk!
Kkulreokkkulreok!
It looked as if they were evolving.

The evil spirits, growing much larger with thicker sharp claws and increasing ferocity, were becoming even more dangerous.

This phenomenon wasn’t limited to just the lower-ranked evil spirits.

The Lion-Grasping King’s mane, one of the Six Demons, sharpened like seeing a mountain of blades, and its muscles swelled, making its body even larger.

Kwaaaaaaang!
Similarly, the White Great Peng Demon King, another of the Six Demons, had its pure white wings turn dark red, transforming into an unsettling appearance, and its demonic energy surged rapidly.

Kukukukukukuku!
Even those who had been matching the Six Demons with excellent coordination without prior practice were forced to create distance, bewildered by this sudden change.

But it didn’t end there.

Udeuk! Udeudeudeudeuk!
“Kkeueueu!”

“Kkuaaaaa!”

Among the warriors of the three major forces who had formed battle lines, some began to scream as if possessed by evil spirits, their eyes turning bloodshot and undergoing bizarre transformations.

“W-what?”

“Why are they suddenly acting like this?”

“Hey! Come to your senses!”

The blood vessels all over their bodies turned black and swelled grotesquely, resembling Mok Yu-cheon’s use of the Evil Blood Technique.

The difference was that beyond going berserk, they completely lost their reason and sanity.

Their appearance was literally that of ferocious beasts.

“Kreureureu.”

“Kekekekekeke!”

Puk!
“Keok!”

Kwadeuk!
“W-what is this? Kkeuk!”

“Let go! I said let go!”

Screams and shouts erupted from everywhere as the battle formation crumbled.

This was because those who had lost their reason and turned ferocious suddenly attacked the normal warriors.

The rampage of thousands of allies, not just one or two, was enough to cause chaos.

‘I see.’

Mok Gyeong-un let out a light sigh at their rampage.

The Golden Heavenly King possessed five absolute divine artifacts called the treasures of the Heavenly clan.

That golden ring on his arm was called the Ring of Arden, a dangerous item that corrupts the original energy that could be called the source of life, making it rampage to its limit and fight until death.

Although it had the drawback of not being usable for over a hundred years until its energy recharged once used, and the light had to be directly exposed to the naked eye, it was certainly the worst divine artifact that could cause chaos on the front lines once caught in it.

“Kkeueueueu.”

“Bright Blade King! Come to your senses!”

It wasn’t just ordinary warriors who were exposed to the light.

Even among the executives of each force and the leaders of sects, there were some who didn’t close their eyes at Mok Gyeong-un’s shout, and their rampage was beyond causing chaos,

Kwajik!
Chwak!
“Kkeuk!”

“C-capture the clan leader!”

“Leader Song, please come to your senses! Please…… Keok!”

The stronger they were, the more powerful they became due to the rampage, causing numerous casualties.

Baek Sa-ha the Poison King and Hwan Ya-seon the Shadow Clan Master, who were beside Bright Blade King Son Yun, tried to restrain him somehow, but,

Paaaaang!
His rampaging inner force was so strong that he shook them off too easily.

Not content with that, Son Yun’s grotesquely transformed hand was about to tear off Poison King Baek Sa-ha’s thigh.

Kwadeuk!
“Uheok!”

Even as his thigh was being torn off, Baek Sa-ha counterattacked with lightning-fast poison palms, trying to subdue him, but,

Peok!
‘What?’

Buuuuung!
Despite being hit by the poison palm, Son Yun didn’t budge at all and instead swung his large sword, forcing Baek Sa-ha to retreat.

“Stop!”

Seeing this wasn’t working, even Axe-Destroying King Ho Tae-gang had to step in.

He intervened, swinging his huge axe to block Bright Blade King Son Yun’s large sword.

Chaeaaaaang!
Originally, it was a strike that could have been easily blocked with half his inner force due to the difference in their realms, but instead, Ho Tae-gang’s axe was sent flying.

‘What kind of inner force?’

Just as Ho Tae-gang was hurriedly raising his inner force to respond,

Pak!
At that moment, someone struck the back of Bright Blade King Son Yun’s neck, and he, who seemed like he would continue rampaging without flinching, rolled his eyes back and fainted on the spot.

The one who struck the back of his neck was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.

“My lord!”

Seeing this scene, Axe-Destroying King Ho Tae-gang inwardly clicked his tongue.

He knew that his lord’s strength had already reached a different realm, but it was astonishing that he could take down Son Yun, who was unleashing inner force comparable to the Transformation Realm in his rampage, with just a single hand movement.

But then the ring floating in the sky vibrated and emitted a strange resonating sound.

Uuuuuuuuung!
As soon as the resonating sound spread, the warriors of the three major forces who had been rampaging and attacking their nearby allies all rushed towards Mok Gyeong-un at once.

It wasn’t just the warriors.

Dududududududu!!!
Even the countless evil spirits rushed towards where Mok Gyeong-un was.

While those facing the Lion-Grasping King and White Great Peng Demon King blocked them, there was nothing they could do about the evil spirits.

“Kekekekekeke!”

“Die! Die!”

“Protect the lord!”

“Block them!”

The executives and warriors under Mok Gyeong-un tried to block the rampaging ones rushing in, but there were too many of them, and the momentum of those who had become ferocious in their rampage showed no signs of stopping even when attacked.

It was useless to inflict wounds as they didn’t seem to feel pain.

Seeing them like this, the Golden Heavenly King sneered and said,

-You became a mortal trying to be their savior, but in the end, you’ll either die by their hands or kill them.

They say you loved humans and became human?

Then show the contradiction of eliminating those humans with your own hands.

Enjoy watching that amusement……

Heumchit!
It was at that very moment.

Mok Gyeong-un raised his knee to his chest.

Then, supreme power concentrated enough to make all the surrounding energy stir.

‘!?’

Wondering what on earth he was trying to do,

Kwaaaaaaaaang!
As Mok Gyeong-un stomped his foot towards the ground,

Jjeojeojeojeojeojeok!
Kureureureureureureureu!
Beyond just splitting where his foot touched, the ground within a radius of several hundred jang shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Along with this, the eyes of the warriors of the three major forces who were rushing towards Mok Gyeong-un in their rampage rolled back, foam formed at their mouths, and they collapsed clutching their chests.

Teolsseok! Teolsseok! Teolsseok!
“T-this can’t be……”

“No way……. This is the Heavenly Demon Domineering Steps!”

Exclamations of surprise flowed from here and there.

Everyone had heard the rumors.

The Domineering Steps that was said to have collapsed the Shaolin Temple’s One Hundred and Eight Arhat Formation with a single stomp.

In the martial arts world, they called it the Heavenly Demon Domineering Steps, and it had unfolded before their eyes.

Moreover, thousands, no, over ten thousand rampaging individuals collapsed with a single stomp.

‘Monster…… Truly a monster.’

Hong Won-seok, the leader of the Beggar’s Sect, even took a step back with an expression full of fear.

They too had stepped forward to block the rampaging ones who seemed to be targeting him, but it was overwhelmingly strong enough to make all of that feel futile.

It didn’t end there.

Paaaaang!
Mok Gyeong-un, who had taken down all of them in one go, leaped into the air and instantly flew up above the countless evil spirits rushing towards the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, no, towards himself,

‘Myriad Sword Red Lotus!’

Gooooooo!
He raised the demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword, blackened by demonic energy, above his head and then plunged it straight down into the center of the mass of evil spirits.

Puk!
At that very moment,

Chwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwachwa!!!!
From the point where Mok Gyeong-un stabbed his sword, black sword forces erupted from the ground like blooming red lotus buds, splitting into tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of branches, spreading in all directions like waves.

Keokeokeokeokeok!
Kaaaaak!
The sword forces rising from the ground penetrated and tore through the evil spirits, and the various colors of blood they spilled were staining the surroundings in a rainbow of hues.

‘!!!!!!!!!’

Beyond a spectacle, at this unbelievable and tremendous display of power, the eyes of all the martial artists of the three major forces widened to the point of tearing, unable to close their mouths.
