Chapter 214
You are certainly incredible. I can see how you annihilated the previous Divine Demons now. However, things will be different this time.
Geuk-Sang spoke with genuine admiration for Mu-Guns power. Even so, he still believed that the Nine Celestial Demons Sect would win. From his perspective, Mu-Gun had activated the Thunder Gods Descent, so his internal energy would be depleted soon.
I doubt it. Mu-Gun chuckled and pointed his weapon at Geuk-Sang, unleashing a golden sword-shaped lightning. It cut through space, but before it could pierce Geuk-Sang, Hyeok Ryeon-Pae stood between them, black flame-like vajra qi still enveloping him. Although the golden lightning could not pierce through the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star, it still sent him flying a great distance away.
Meanwhile, Geuk-Sang used the Displacement Art, appeared to the left of Mu-Gun, and sent Invincible Soul-Shattering Fists at him. Unfazed, Mu-Gun blocked the fist energy with his left hand. The golden lightning vajra qi covering it crushed the Invincible Soul-Shattering Fists, causing it to explode.
The golden lightning vajra qi then quickly grew in size and struck Geuk-Sang, breaking his protective vajra qi and landing a direct hit. Engulfed by it, Geuk-Sang was torn apart and blasted away before crashing onto the ground, sending him to his final moments.
Witnessing Geuk-Sangs death from their campsite made the four Divine Demons gulp. Even though they believed Mu-Gun had unleashed the Thunder Gods Descent, watching him effortlessly kill a Divine Demon still came across as a shock to them. Even if they all fought him at the same time right now, they would not be able to do anything to him.
To make matters worse, they could not see any signs of Mu-Guns power waning. If he could kill Ryeon-Pae, then they would certainly be next. They had to drag the battle on until he exhausted all his power.
We cannot let things go on like this. Lets have the Higher Demons attack the Central Plains Murim Alliances forces, Hon Won-Pae suggested.
I agree. If the Central Plains Murim Alliance suffers even more casualties, the Thunder Gods successor will have no choice but to focus his attention on them, Gal Cheon-Dok added.
As soon as the other two Divine Demons agreed as well, they immediately ordered the Higher Demons to attack.
The Higher Demons, who were as strong as Absolute-Realm masters now that they had taken Soul-Burning Invincibility Pills, flew toward the Central Plains Murim Alliances forces without hesitation. Instead of backing down, the Central Plains Murim Alliance met them head-on.
Meanwhile, Mu-Gun cornered Ryeon-Pae, who could not keep up with him, and relentlessly beat him around using the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike, but the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Stars impenetrable defensive capabilities allowed him to withstand the barrage of attacks.
However, even the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star could not completely block the golden lightning. It penetrated through Ryeon-Paes defenses and continuously damaged him.
The Demonic Monarchs tried to somehow help him, but even just approaching Mu-Gun proved too difficult for them. The golden lightning Mu-Gun emitted did not allow them to come near. Even their attacks did not work against the wave of golden lightning.
While blocking off the Demonic Monarchs and hammering down on Ryeon-Pae, Mu-Gun confirmed that the Nine Celestial Demons Sects Higher Demons and the Central Plains Murim Alliances martial arts masters had locked themselves in a fierce battle.
A glance was enough to tell that the Higher Demons were at least a hundred strong and, like the Demonic Monarchs, had also consumed Soul-Burning Invincibility Pills. On the other hand, the Central Plains Murim Alliance just had over sixty Absolute-Realm masters and a little more than ninety Upper-Peak-Realm masters, which should be enough to stop their opponents. forces should be enough to stop all the Higher Demons. Hence, for now, Mu-Gun focused on getting rid of Ryeon-Pae.
Unable to break away from Mu-Gun, golden lightning continued to penetrate through the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star and mess up Ryeon-Paes insides. The relentless shocks eventually internally injured him, causing cracks to form on the Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star. Exploiting that weakness, Mu-Gun thrust his sword after imbuing it with golden lightning, piercing through Ryeon-Paes defenses and stabbing his heart.
For a brief moment, Ryeon-Pae flailed like a fish hit by a harpoon. Life rapidly left his eyes, turning them murky as he finally succumbed to death.
The Demonic Monarchs continued to attack Mu-Gun, but they could not break through the golden wave of lightning he was emitting, which displayed similar abilities to Ryeon-Paes Blood-Crazed Divine Demon Star, only far superior. Nevertheless, although their attacks were ineffective, they never stopped trying to take down Mu-Gun.
With Ryeon-Pae now dead, Mu-Gun decided to eliminate the Demonic Monarchs before dealing with the four Divine Demons. He raised his hand toward the Demonic Monarchs surrounding him.
Buzz!
A golden lightning bolt fell from the sky for each Demonic Monarch on the ground. The Demonic Monarchs tried to dodge, but the attack was far faster. By the time they thought of evading, the golden lightning had already broken their heads apart and burned them through electrocution.
Now unbothered, Mu-Gun turned to the remaining Divine Demons but suddenly staggered and dropped to his knees. The golden thunder qi flowing out of him also dissipated.
Witnessing Mu-Gun annihilate Geuk-Sang, Ryeon-Pae, and their Demonic Monarchs, the Divine Demons found them unable to come up with a plan that could deal with his formidable martial process. Hence, they could not help but feel delighted to see Mu-Gun in such a state. From their perspective, he looked as if the duration of the Thunder Gods Descent was over.
He seems to have finally exhausted all his power.
We should get rid of him now instead of wasting any more time.
I agree. We have no idea what will happen if he manages to recover.
The Divine Demons approached and attacked him, determined to put a swift end to him out of sheer fear of him regaining the strength he had depleted.
As Gu Pae-Cheon, Gal Cheon-Dok, and Hon Won-Paes attacks surged toward Mu-Gun, Jong Ja-Ryang activated his transcendental martial art, the Hell Spirit Gate, and sent evil spirits toward him.
Contrary to their expectations, however, they failed to tear the powerless Mu-Gun to pieces. Just before their attacks reached him, golden Thunder God Qi gushed out of him like a tidal wave and shattered the attacks with ease, then spread toward them.
Startled, the Divine Demons quickly stepped away, but the Thunder God Qi chased after them at breakneck speed. Their expressions hardened as they unleashed as much vajra qi as they could. When their attacks collided with the Thunder God Qi, the resulting shockwave swept through their surroundings and hit the Divine demons, blasting them away.
The collision fortunately destroyed the attack chasing after them, but they still could not afford to relax. Mu-Gun, who was on his knees just a while ago, stood up covered in Thunder God Qi.
The evil spirits pouring out from the Hell Spirit Gate hounded Mu-Gun, but they all disappeared before they could break through his defenses. Realizing that the evil spirits could never threaten Mu-Gun no matter how many there were, Ja-Ryang decided to deactivate his transcendental martial art.
Thank you. Those evil spirits flocking to me like tiger moths was starting to annoy me. Mu-Gun grinned at Ja-Ryang.
You werent exhausted at all, were you, you bastard?! Hon Won-Pae asked, his face filled with desperation.
Well, I had to trick you somehow. If you all got scared enough to run away with your tails between your legs, chasing after you would have been troublesome.
Let me ask you one thing. Have you activated the Thunder Gods Descent? Cheon-Dok asked, finding Mu-Gun too stable to have already used his trump card.
Not yet, Mu-Gun answered.
What? Won-Pae was baffled, much like the other Divine Demons. Without the Thunder Gods Descent, they would have no explanation for Mu-Guns martial prowess right now.
I can easily kill you all without it. Mu-Gun shrugged.
It seems you have reached the Mythic Realm, Cheon-Dok said with certainty.
What nonsense are you talking about? That is impossible at his age, Won-Pae argued in disbelief.
That is the only way to explain that fuckers strength. Am I wrong? Cheon-Dok asked Mu-Gun.
Not at all. As you said, I have advanced to the Mythic Realm.
Nevertheless, Won-Pae continued to deny reality. Impossible. I do not believe you.
Whether you believe me or not is up to you. Let us put an end to this.
The golden Thunder God Qi enveloping Mu-Gun split into four and took the shape of swords. They then rushed toward the four Divine Demons.
Initially the size of regular longswords, the Thunderbolt Swords gradually grew. By the time they reached their targets, seemingly devouring space itself, they had grown as large as Infinite Thunder Swords.
The Divine Demons frantically defended themselves with their own techniques, the collision resulting in an earth-shattering roar and shockwaves that shook the ground strong enough to rival an earthquake. However, their attacks only seemed equal to it first. The gigantic Thunderbolt Swords soon shattered their defenses and continued flying toward them. Despite still suffering from the impact they sustained when their attacks were destroyed, they were forced to retreat.
Still increasing in size, the swords chased after the Divine Demons. When they ran away from where the swords were going, the swords just changed directions and hunted them down.
Realizing that evasion was futile, they mustered all their might and retaliated instead. If they failed to stop the Thunderbolt Swords now, they would definitely be killed.
Blasts erupted from four different areas. The collision shook the earth to its core, causing the ground to crack and explode. At the end of it all, the Thunderbolt Swords shattered the four Divine Demons attacks and pierced through them, splitting them in half and sending them crashing to the ground.
Mu-Gun had sent the four Divine Demons, the Nine Celestial Demons Sects final bastion, to their miserable deaths.
