Chapter 494 – Final Chapter (1)
Slash!
A single black line appeared between the spheres of light that were continuously being created, rushing in, and exploding.
A sharp blade crossed space, and in an instant, the right arm of the Golden Heavenly King holding the Sword of Aden was cut off.
-Swoosh!
‘!?’
The Golden Heavenly King’s eyes widened, not having realized what had happened until his arm was severed.
What on earth had just occurred?
The sharp energy didn’t fly through cutting the spheres of light, but crossed space directly.
Because of this, he only belatedly realized he had been cut.
-Kugh!
The Golden Heavenly King’s brow furrowed at the tremendous pain that came.
Even so, he didn’t let out a scream.
Having lived for an unimaginably long time that humans couldn’t even imagine, and having gone through countless wars, he could endure this level of pain.
However,
‘I need to retrieve the sword.’
-Rumble rumble rumble!
Thanks to losing his arm, he had dropped the sword, and the gravity field was deactivated.
Because of this, even his attempt to open space and pull in meteorites was halted.
He needed to retrieve the sword again and put it back into orbit.
The Golden Heavenly King tried to raise his divine power to pull back his severed arm and the sword.
It was at that very moment.
-Crack crack crack crack crack crack crack!
As the spheres of light bounced in all directions, someone burst out from between them.
It was Mok Gyeong-un.
‘You bastard!’
The Golden Heavenly King tried to create more spheres of light to prevent Mok Gyeong-un from approaching.
But at that moment,
-Whoosh!
Formless swords appeared around Mok Gyeong-un, rotating fiercely and deflecting the incoming spheres of light, preventing them from approaching.
Panicked by Mok Gyeong-un’s approach, the Golden Heavenly King, unable to control his divine power, tried to move himself to retrieve the sword.
As they entered the realm of ultra-high speed, their movements slowed down infinitely.
Just as the Golden Heavenly King’s hand was about to touch the sword,
At that very moment,
-Slash!
‘Oh no!’
A red line appeared on his outstretched left arm due to the sharp blade crossing space.
As the sensation in his left hand disappeared, the light from the ring he was wearing quickly faded.
Then,
-Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
The space that had opened high in the sky closed in on itself and shut completely.
Along with this, the heat and pressure that had been crushing the earth disappeared, and those who had been pressed down by it looked up at the closed sky and cheered.
-Waaaaaah!!!!
They had been dumbfounded by the falling stars.
However, when Mok Gyeong-un prevented it, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, they couldn’t help but shout with joy.
‘Mok Gyeong-un, you really…’
Mu Yutian, too, couldn’t contain his excitement as he watched this scene with a trembling heart.
In the past, regardless of how it happened, he had thought his half-brother had entered the Heaven and Earth Society and abandoned righteousness, treading the path of evil.
But all of that was meaningless now.
Before his eyes now stood the world’s greatest master and an unparalleled hero.
-Heavenly Demon! Heavenly Demon! Heavenly Demon!
Everyone called out to him with reverence.
Only he could kill this transcendent being who called himself a god.
That’s why they became one in their wish.
As if hearing their wish, Mok Gyeong-un’s form rushed towards the Golden Heavenly King, who was trying to create distance by flapping his wings, flustered after losing even his left arm.
-How can this be!
The Golden Heavenly King found it hard to bear, not from pain but from humiliation.
If it had been before he lost his core, it would have been slightly less shameful as it was done by the absolute being who had been opposing him for ages.
But now it was completely different.
He had lost his core and completely lost his power as the Demon King, and even had his divine artifacts stolen by a subordinate at his side, falling to the human realm and becoming human.
‘How dare a mere human! How! How dare he push me this far!’
He couldn’t bring himself to accept this.
-Grr!
Therefore, he finally had to make the choice he had been avoiding the most.
-Thump!
He had thought he could easily kill him with just the power of his divine artifacts, but that wasn’t the case.
A hundred years ago, when his core was damaged by him, he had entered a recovery period after suffering critical damage, but only 30% had been restored.
That’s why he had to avoid drawing out the divine power of his core as much as possible, but now he had no choice.
-Pop pop pop pop!
-Cough!
As he drew out the divine power of his unrecovered core, blood spurted from his mouth.
However, as his core moved for the first time in a hundred years, divine power circulated throughout his body, and tremendous power surged.
-Swoosh! Swoosh!
The circulation of divine power instantly restored his severed left and right arms.
As his arms regenerated, the Golden Heavenly King stopped fleeing and flew towards the rushing Mok Gyeong-un.
If he had to go through a long recovery process again, he might have to give up his position to someone else, but he was determined to kill him here and now…
-Slash slash slash slash slash slash!
At that moment, numerous trajectories of black lines embroidered a magnificent pattern in the air.
-Shudder!
The Golden Heavenly King’s pupils shook frantically.
He couldn’t see the trajectories of the sword this guy was drawing.
His eyes were filled only with lines cutting through the air, and he had no way to deal with it.
-Whoosh!
The Golden Heavenly King hurriedly wrapped himself with his large golden wings.
These wings were the crystallization of divine power along with his core.
When concentrating divine power, these golden wings boasted a hardness far superior to even the Armor of Aden.
But,
-Slash slash slash slash slash slash slash!
‘!?’
As countless nerves connected to each wing were all cut,
-Whoosh!
Feathers split into thousands of pieces scattered in all directions.
In thousands of years of war, he might have suffered small wounds, but he had never lost his wings.
But now, those proud golden wings he boasted of were being destroyed.
‘This… This…’
Unlike his physical body, this couldn’t be restored in a short time.
But it didn’t end there.
-Slash!
Mok Gyeong-un’s evil sword Evil Commandment Sword, stained black, cut off his right arm, and simultaneously, his left fist was planted in his abdomen.
-Thud!
Penetrating Force coming through the fist.
At this energy, the Golden Heavenly King, who had been enduring the pain until now, opened his mouth.
-Kugh!
Not stopping there, Mok Gyeong-un’s elbow struck his chin upwards.
-Crack!
-Kugh!
With the sound of his jaw breaking, his head shot upwards.
“It’s far from over.”
-Flinch!
At Mok Gyeong-un’s voice ringing in his ears, the Golden Heavenly King’s face turned pale.
He didn’t know exactly what he had done, but the fierce and sharp energies coming through each of his strikes were tearing his insides apart, giving him pain he had never experienced before.
‘No!’
-Goooo!
The Golden Heavenly King raised divine power in his left hand, trying to create a whirlwind of light to deflect Mok Gyeong-un.
However, the left arm he extended,
-Slash!
Was cut off just like that.
-Aaaaargh!
Mok Gyeong-un grabbed the cheeks of his face as he let out a scream of pain.
-Grab!
“You’ll need to stay conscious until I chew and eat every bit of your flesh, bone fragments, and every point of your internal organs.”
‘You, you…’
At those words, the Golden Heavenly King felt a chill down his spine, no, his entire body trembled with goosebumps.
This guy was different from the Demon King he had known.
Gone was the figure full of dignity despite being of the demon clan, replaced by someone unspeakably cruel and vicious.
“Shall we start with those eyes first?”
Mok Gyeong-un reached out his fingers towards his two eyes with an incredibly chilling smile.
But it was at that moment.
-It would be best to stop there, Incarnation.
Mok Gyeong-un’s hand stopped midway at the will echoing in his mind.
As it wasn’t transmitted from very far away, Mok Gyeong-un could immediately pinpoint where it came from.
It was in the direction of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
Mok Gyeong-un slowly turned his head.
‘!?’
As he turned his head, Mok Gyeong-un’s two pupils shook.
Above the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, the figure of someone with a face full of scars was visible, and he could immediately recognize who it was by the third eye on his forehead.
It was Mok Gan.
‘…Did he change bodies?’
Mok Gyeong-un had thought that Mok Gan, who had been forcibly expelled from the Great Strength King, would have been blown apart by the gravity field created by the Golden Heavenly King.
Despite his numerous evil deeds and madness, did he possess some kind of heavenly luck?
He truly had a tenacious life.
-Grip!
Strength entered Mok Gyeong-un’s hand holding the evil sword Evil Commandment Sword.
This was because of the two beings held in both hands of Mok Gan, who had a face full of scars.
In his left hand was Cheong-ryeong, who had become faint after exhausting most of her spirit power, and in his right hand was Wi So-yeon, who seemed to have lost consciousness and was hanging limply.
Finally, both Wi So-yeon, the soul, and Cheong-ryeong, the spirit, had fallen into his hands.
-Grr!
Killing intent rose fiercely in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
He wanted to cut off his neck right away, but the distance was too far.
It was a distance that his mind’s sword couldn’t reach and was difficult even for the Bullet Sword Force, probably a result of careful calculation.
Mok Gyeong-un’s prediction was accurate.
“Kuhehehehe.”
Mok Gan, bursting into laughter filled with madness, couldn’t hide his excitement.
He thought everything had come to naught due to numerous variables, but in the end, they had fallen into his hands.
Then a voice echoed in his mind.
-Well done. Half of the main body is down there…
-Shut up. From now on, I’ll handle this myself. You just need to follow my will.
-…Do as you please. Your judgment has surpassed mine.
The yielding will was Mok Gan’s, and the strongly rejecting will was Bi Yong-heon’s.
Bi Yong-heon’s will wasn’t interested in things like the annihilation of the Central Plains martial world or the exclusion of humans for the sake of the Heavenly clan, and had only been waiting for this moment.
Mok Gan, no, Bi Yong-heon looked at Cheong-ryeong with a smile tinged with madness and said,
“Now we can go back to how it was before. So-wol.”
-Before? Ha…
Cheong-ryeong had no more words for his madness and obsession.
She was just sorry to one person.
‘Mortal.’
Cheong-ryeong looked at Mok Gyeong-un and shook her head.
She hoped he wouldn’t make a foolish choice because of her alone.
‘…Please don’t do that.’
If he did, she wouldn’t be able to bear it even until the moment of her annihilation.
She firmly resolved in her heart.
Although her spirit power was almost exhausted and she was at a stage where she could barely move, she planned to seize the one chance.
-Swoosh!
Cheong-ryeong looked at Wi So-yeon, who could be called the body containing her soul.
Bi Yong-heon would surely try to use the forbidden technique to make her and Wi So-yeon’s body one.
She planned to aim for that moment and perish together with her soul.
‘I will absolutely not hold you back.’
Although you will be sad, if I can save you, I can vanish with a glad heart.
As expected, Bi Yong-heon began to chant some kind of spell.
It was clearly the forbidden technique of the Wicked Granny that dealt with souls and spirits.
It seemed he was trying to merge the soul and spirit into one right away to achieve his goal.
-Swoosh!
Bi Yong-heon brought himself close to Wi So-yeon’s body.
Cheong-ryeong waited with tense eyes.
Just once.
She had to aim for the moment when she came into contact with the soul.
But then Bi Yong-heon, who had been chanting the spell, stopped his spirit body right in front of Wi So-yeon and said something that surprised her.
“I won’t let him take you away three times.”
‘!?’
Cheong-ryeong’s two pupils shook.
Three times?
Could it be…
Her eyes turned to Mok Gyeong-un, who was not taking his eyes off her from afar.
Then,
-Whoosh!
-Aah!
Spell power burrowed into the back of her spirit body’s neck, and soon completely stiffened her spirit body.
To the surprised Cheong-ryeong, Bi Yong-heon grinned and said,
“If you were planning to do something, forget it. I’ve been waiting for this moment alone for a hundred years, do you think I’d let my guard down so easily?”
With those words, Bi Yong-heon began to chant the spell again and tried to insert Cheong-ryeong’s immobilized spirit body into Wi So-yeon’s body.
-Swoosh!
Cheong-ryeong’s eyes reddened.
She had just realized something, but she couldn’t forget everything like this.
However, her spirit body was already slowly seeping into Wi So-yeon’s body.
Bi Yong-heon smiled meaningfully as if he had won.
But,
‘!?’
Suddenly, Bi Yong-heon’s expression contorted.
“What is this…”
-Stab!
At that moment, Wi So-yeon’s eyes flew open, and she tried to stab something into Bi Yong-heon’s heart.
-Bam!
Because of this, Bi Yong-heon let go of Cheong-ryeong and hurriedly grabbed Wi So-yeon’s dagger.
Then he shouted in an angry voice.
“How dare a mere vengeful spirit be inside this body!”
“You should have checked, shouldn’t you?”
“What?”
-Grab!
Wi So-yeon, no, Guard Go Chan who had entered her body, used all his strength to try and stab the dagger into Bi Yong-heon’s chest, but it was useless.
From the start, the difference in power was too great.
Enraged at being interrupted for a moment, Bi Yong-heon,
-Clang!
Instantly broke the dagger, then placed his hand on Wi So-yeon’s chest and chanted the Demon Resistance Technique.
Then,
-Whoosh!
Go Chan’s vengeful spirit in Wi So-yeon’s body was forcibly ejected.
-Ugh!
For a moment, Bi Yong-heon, who was about to annihilate Go Chan’s vengeful spirit out of anger, seemed to realize something and remembered he had dropped Cheong-ryeong’s spirit body, so he reached his hand downwards.
It was at that very moment.
-Slash!
His arm was cut off, and someone soared upwards.
‘!?’
It was Mok Gyeong-un.
Not missing the small gap created by his spirit servant and vengeful spirit Guard Go Chan, Mok Gyeong-un, who had flown here in an instant, caught the falling Cheong-ryeong.
Cheong-ryeong spoke in a trembling voice to Mok Gyeong-un, who was holding her and soaring upwards.
-Mortal, no, you… You…
Before she could finish her words, Mok Gyeong-un gently caressed her cheek and spoke.
“It was all me.”
At those words, tears poured from Cheong-ryeong’s reddened eyes.
