The world perishes.
Only three things maintain form in the destroyed world.
First, the Underworld and the spirits the Underworld holds.
Since they are in the embrace of the sole Heavenly Venerable who remains and possesses a normal Gandhara, they are safe.
Second, the True Immortals.
Since they are existences that transcend Mount Suru to a certain extent, even as the entirety of Mount Suru undergoes annihilation, they can generate prophecies within their bodies and maintain their lives.
Third, the Mountain Divine Spirits.
Kugugugu!
A golden torrent rampages centered on the Great Mountain Supre Deity.
That appearance looks as if, centered on Gwak Am, dozens of gigantic golden wings flutter.
However, that mass of light that looks dazzlingly bright seems to be sucked in centered on Gwak Am, and the surroundings start to grow dark.
:: The strongest light emits the shortest wavelength...so it is not visible to the eyes of lowly creatures and thus looks dark. ::
To the eyes of humans, to the eyes of mortal beings...
The universe looks dark.
But to the eyes of True Immortals, the universe is rather bright.
For True Immortals can perceive even the wavelengths of light that mortal beings cannot not perceive.
But I feel that the light gathering around the Great Mountain Supre Deity gradually passes through white, blue, and purple and becos a dusky light, and then I witness it beco complete darkness. :: I am now the pri Radiance Ten Heavenly Lords itself. : :
The Great Mountain Supre Deity, who turns the surroundings into a complete Darkness World, seems like a God of Darkness wrapped in endless darkness, rather than the golden radiance shown just before.
Yet apart from that appearance which seems dark, I can feel from him a power of light stronger than anyone else.
'It isn't visible.'
All the Origin Essences of Suru Mountain.
The primordial of myriad seats.
The very first Origin Essence, like Radiance itself...
No, rather, it is a power of light even purer than that.
As the Great Mountain Supre Deity says, mortal beings cannot see overly strong wavelengths.
But ordinarily, True Immortals can perceive wavelengths that mortal beings cannot see.
'...Even I, who have reached the level of a True Immortal...a Governing Immortal...am I unable to perceive the wavelength of that light?'
The source of all things in the world, Light.
Compressing and devouring everything born from light and fusing it, he manifests again the First Light.
That is the power of the Great Mountain Supre Deity.
Moreover, due to my karma, the Retribution of the Impermanence Sword ended up even passing over to the Great Mountain Supre Deity. 'Is this what Bong Myeong's foresight ant?'
Impermanence Sword is a mantra.
A True Immortal without intellect, and a system of power.
Therefore, not only the creator, but all who satisfy its conditions have the possibility to use it.
'In the end, my greatest traitor is...'
It is my conscience.
The way to take back the Impermanence Sword is simple.
As the creator of the Impermanence Sword, I can discard my conscience and rewrite the acquisition conditions of the Impermanence Sword. In short...
To defeat the Great Mountain Supre Deity, I just need to kill the humanity within .
Kaang!
I also draw the Impermanence Sword into my hand and stand against the Great Mountain Supre Deity.
However...
Wo-woong-
'...As expected...'
The side of the Great Mountain Supre Deity is instead drawing out the power of the Impermanence Sword even better.
Just like when, during Treading Heaven Beyond the Path, I sheathed my whole body in the Impermanence Sword and fought, the Great Mountain Supre Deity likewise wraps his whole body with the Impermanence Sword and thrusts a fist toward .
Kwaaang!
The first exchange cos and goes.
My sword is blocked by him, and his fist, overlaid with the Impermanence Sword, drives straight into my waist.
Even by the size ratio of a Governing Immortal, at the massive punch that feels like the size of a pot lid, I am sent flying as I spill Immortal Beast True Blood.
Kwagwagwang!
Leaving the place where the original Mount Suru exists, the place I reach is the Underworld's Gandhara.
The dinsion of vast darkness, through attraction force, stands outside the Mount Suru where only its form remains and observes us.
'The Great Mountain Supre Deity has descended. Will you truly not take part?'
In an instant, I ask briefly, and a reply cos from the Underworld side.
Kiiiiiiing!
The Underworld's Wheel is spinning like mad.
An imnse Cycle of Reincarnation forms, and the spirits the Great Mountain Supre Deity just killed are seen circulating within the Underworld.
It is a wordless answer, but I understand.
The mont the Underworld moves to help anyone, the overwhelming majority of the spirits whom the Great Mountain Supre Deity killed will be flung out to the sea of chaos outside Mount Suru and beco lost children of chaos.
A powerful great compassion toward the living beings of Mount Suru!
That great compassion, like Yu Hao Te's, that venerates even a single mortal being like an insect or microorganism, is instead holding back the Underworld in a situation like now.
'No. Great Mountain aid for this and made a surprise attack so there was no ti to prepare, and let go a considerable number of spirits.'
With a single surprise attack, Great Mountain gained a quite significant advantage.
::...I was discourteous. Please take good care of the spirits. ::
Beginning to draw forth power, I offer a word to the Underworld, and I face the Great Mountain Supre Deity who walks through chaos wreathed in a dark light that even I at the level of a Governing Immortal cannot see.
Behind the gigantic Mountain Divine Spirit walking with Master's mask on, the Radiance Seven Immortals naturally join.
:: We will kill you. Enders!!! ::
Beyond their masks, they shed bright-red Heaven and Earth spiritual energy of hatred and anger like tears and pour upon us an unbearable fury.
And behind , my Ender comrades, and the True Immortals they summoned begin to form ranks.
No, it is not only the True Immortals they summoned.
After the sudden destruction of Mount Suru, the vast majority of True Immortals originally belonging to Radiance Hall, including Heaven Immortals who quickly gauge the situation, begin to co to our side.
Kim Yeon activates the Artificial Gandhara that devoured even the domain of ti.
Many among the True Immortals knock on the gates of the Underworld, but as the Heaven Immortals are not accepted, they take refuge inside Kim Yeon's Gandhara.
Is it only refuge?
:: Radiance Supre Deity! ::
:: To join hands with the Great Mountain Supre Deity... ::
:: No matter how heinous an enemy the Sword Mountain Devil Lord is...to join hands with 'that' Mountain Divine Spirit...! What in the world are you doing!? O light that guards justice, why are you with the existence that has destroyed the Suru Three Heavens Great Thousand World? Are we now to be together with the Great Mountain Supre Deity!? ::
They, having a fit at the Radiance Seven Immortals who have joined hands with the Great Mountain Supre Deity who has destroyed the world, attach themselves to us. Even the Envoys of the Final Age of Dharma are the sa.
Excepting faithful existences like the Thirty-Three Heavenly Resplendent Treasure Immortals, the forces flip over in an instant, and in terms of faction we beco superior. And, as the Radiance Seven Immortals put their palms together, they still begin to call forth the symbol of Heuk Sa, though it has beco a little unstable.
:: Trash that has gained power without qualification. ::
:: All of you...have never once differed from the Mountain Divine Spirits. : :
:: On this day, we shall annihilate you all and open a new world! ::
The situation from when the Great Mountain Supre Deity recited the Splitting Heaven Mantra before is reproduced.
The chaotic situation in which the Radiance Eight Immortals betrayed all their own forces and, joining hands with the Great Mountain Supre Deity, waged war against them all. In the waves of chaos, a cluttered all-out war begins.
:: In the na of the Radiance Supre Deity, we prophesize...⠀ ⠀
The Radiance Seven Immortals step forward, and inside Mount Suru that the Great Mountain Supre Deity annihilated, they simultaneously raise their fingers.
:: Let there be light! ::
And then there is light.
Centered on the seven divine spirits, a vast light erupts and begins to create a Heavenly Domain.
Immortal Lords, if they draw on the power of the Origin Essence excessively, are devoured by the Origin Essence.
The only ones who can escape that law are Supre Deities.
It is the sa for the Radiance Eight Immortals.
They are ones who slowly get eaten by the Origin Essence,
And they too, if roughly ten trillion years pass, are existences that get devoured by light.
That also is the driving force that makes the Radiance Eight Immortals undergo a generational change.
That is, if they draw only within the normal range of power, unless about ten trillion years pass, they have no reason to be slain or to undergo a generational change. Because they will not be devoured at once by the Origin Essence of Light.
However...
I, seeing the Seven Immortals of this era whose eyes have gone mad with hatred, realize what they are doing.
Burnt Offering!
They, feeding all of their own existence to the Origin Essence of Light, are summoning power.
'Is this...the proper power of the Radiance Supre Deity?'
If the Radiance Ten Heavenly Lords were truly alive and made themselves a sacrificial burnt offering to draw forth power, that power seems to have been literally comparable to the Gandhara of the Underworld.
Kugugugugugugu!
As a Heavenly Domain is created, lights flicker again on Mount Suru, which has lost light and beco only a shell.
They are 'Heavenly Domains'.
Yes, with the self burnt offering of the Radiance Seven Immortals as the main axis, thousands, tens of thousands of 'Heavenly Domains' are created and lights are surging. Furthermore, with my Radiance Mantra still activating, the radiance of those Heavenly Domains moving as if quickly pulsing inside Mount Suru is an indescribable spectacle. At that astonishing authority of the Radiance Seven Immortals, the True Immortal alliance simultaneously hesitates.
And seeing that sight, Jeon Myeong-hoon in his true body pushes my back.
:: Go and co back. ::
Kim Yeon also gently strokes my shoulder and smiles.
:: Go and co back. ::
Having finished speaking, the two walk forth before and cry out.
:: I, in the na of the Owner of Heavenly Punishnt, command. ::
Kurung, kurururung!
Jeon Myeong-hoon swings the Heavenly Lightning Banner and declares.
:: The Jade Pivot Forty-Eight Lightning Heavenly Great Immortals...shall duly assemble. Seize the chance to release that retribution. : :
Kurururururung!
Zhengli, who always resisted in Jeon Myeong-hoon's hand, at least this once properly responds with power to Jeon Myeong-hoon's order and scatters lightning.
And within that rumbling thunder, forty-eight Lightning Immortals begin to reveal their true bodies.
They all glare at Jeon Myeong-hoon with eyes as if displeased.
But...
This ti at least, there lies a will that says they will listen to his command.
:: We shall receive the command. ::
Not only the Jade Pivot Forty-Eight Lightning Heavenly Great Immortals, but so True Immortals as well are seen gathering under Jeon Myeong-hoon.
Reading history, they seem to be those who had claid themselves to be disciples of Yang Su-jin.
Kiiiiiing!
Kim Yeon's Artificial Gandhara hums and draws the attention of the Heaven Immortals who originally belonged to Radiance Hall.
:: I am the Tridacna Vast Cold Heavenly King. ::
That single na.
With that alone, the vast majority of True Immortals begin to tremble in panic like aspen trees.
:: True Immortals who will not fight out of fear, and True Immortals who will not fight because they worry about the Middle Realm inside their bodies...all co into this Gandhara. :: Tsuaaaaatt!
At the light pink radiance that spilling from Kim Yeon's eyes, the Heaven Immortals who groan under the remaining power of the Radiance Seven Immortals begin to gain hope.
:: I will embrace you. ::
Nurous Heaven Immortals enter the Artificial Gandhara, and, using that Gandhara as a shield, they begin to fire a barrage of prophecies that snipe the Radiance Seven Immortals, and they begin to infuse their power in as the energy source for the Artificial Gandhara.
Clank!
:: Artificial Gandhara activation. Learning ti-observation data of the Source River. ::
And, as a strange voice rings out from the Artificial Gandhara...using the power of the True Immortals as the power source, [sothing]s begin to pour out.
Astonishingly, they are True Immortals.
More precisely, True Immortals who died in the past.
The innurable existences within history that the Source River observed.
As the Source River observed ti and history, the innurable existences recorded by the calendrics within history start to pour out.
Projections of True Immortals numbering in the millions appear in reality and glare at the Radiance Seven Immortals.
A True Immortal-grade puppet cannot exist.
Because a puppet cannot accept life and death.
Therefore, the Mad Lord did not bother to design puppets at the Star Shattering stage and above.
From the Star Shattering stage and upward, there are aspects of power that a puppet cannot follow. Instead, he created a magnum opus to replace puppets of the Star Shattering stage and higher. Immortal Art Yeon's Play.
An Immortal Art that uses puppets to draw in spaceti of the past.
If the role of a marionette is for the sake of a play, this was his final masterpiece to puppeteer spaceti itself, reenact it, and stage the play.
Except for [Her], the Mad Lord did not bother to design puppets of the Star Shattering stage and above.
For once he conceived Yeon's Play, once he harbored the ambition to puppeteer spaceti, there was no reason to design puppets beyond that realm.
Kugugugugugu!
:: Immortal Art. Yeon's Play. ::
With the power of the True Immortals sheltered inside the Artificial Gandhara as the power source.
Based on the observation information of the domain of ti, the Source River, that the Artificial Gandhara devoured.
By activating the Immortal Art Yeon's Play, She puppeteers the spaceti of the past and reenacts it into this spaceti.
An army of True Immortals numbering in the millions begins to move like marionettes and charge toward the Radiance Seven Immortals.
It is the ergence of a true True Immortal Puppet army.
Oh Hyun-seok and Oh Hye-seo stand to my left and right.
:: We also have a personal grudge against that guy. ::
::.... ⠀⠀
The two reveal their true bodies and show visible anger toward the Mountain Divine Spirit.
:: We can fight together, right? ::
I nod.
::...Of course.::
Kang Min-hee ets my eyes within the world of chaos.
'Things developed suddenly, but...can you find it, Min-hee?'
I ask Kang Min-hee regarding what I asked her in advance, and Kang Min-hee nods.
:: With your authority and my status of being my master's disciple. And with my talent...I can definitely find it. : :
:: I'll trust you.::
The final move to defeat the Great Mountain Supre Deity.
In the end, Kang Min-hee's role is the most secret, but it is bound to beco the most lethal poison.
Lastly, I look at the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord.
I look at Ji Hwa.
There is no need for many words.
:: Let's fight together. ::
:: Yes. ::
Ji Hwa and I, each gripping our swords, steel our resolve and...
Eujik-
Ji Hwa explodes and dies.
:: Rambling this and that before a fight... Is such rambling your strength? ::
The Great Mountain Supre Deity tears apart Mount Suru, plants the Gandhara as his foothold, and descends before .
:: Right now, I am on par with the pri Vast Cold in strength. : :
Woo-wooong-
The Mountain Exuding Darkness lifts its fist.
:: Know your place, and focus. ::
Jjeoooooong!
His single strike.
Because the Retribution of the Impermanence Sword clings upon it, a must-hit strike from which only 'Seo Eun-hyun' cannot evade slams straight down beneath the foothold.
Tukwang!
I pierce straight through the Gandhara of the Underworld, shoot out the opposite side, and stare at the God of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea who sheds tears of blood.
In a brief instant, advice from the Underworld cos in through the domain of Indra's Net.
Be careful. That arrogant God...lowers himself in compa to Vast Cold. ::
Indeed.
No matter how strong Vast Cold was, if it is the usual Great Mountain Supre Deity, he would express himself with sothing like he has 'surpassed' Vast Cold...so to use an expression like 'on par' with his temperant is strange.
Since I know well that each and every Mountain Divine Spirit are all lumps of pride, the expression 'on par' bothers more than Great Mountain's blow that pierced the straight through the Underworld's
Gandhara.
Splitting Emperor Splitting Heaven.
:: Annihilation Advancent Mu.::
A dark-red light bursts out.
Not a golden light, but seeing that unique dark-red energy of the Great Mountain Supre Deity, I can tell that he has instantly digested all the fate and Origin Essence amounting to one Mount Suru.
Dudududududu-
Chaos recedes.
At the sa ti, a spear of dark-red light that pushes back chaos shoots up, pierces once again, and hurls beyond the chaos.
'...I see.'
I vomit Immortal Beast True Blood all over my entire body, and I understand what this is.
'He truly...devoured all of the Suru Three Heavens Great Thousand World...'
What Gwak Am consud was not rely the Heavenly Domains.
The fate and life dwelling within those Heavenly Domains...
And the nurous Origin Essences!
Gwak Am, quite literally, is in a state of having beco the owner of all Origin Essences.
By using the Immortal Lord-level consciousnesses in the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and concurrently serving as the Immortal Lord of those Origin Essences, he alone exerts authority beyond the
Radiance Ten Heavens Heavenly Lords.
Tukwang, tukwang, tukwang!
From the Gandhara of the Underworld, ten black sothings shoot up and slam into .
Of the black things that lodge in , the Yama True Lord Yan Luo conveys the will of the Underworld.
:: The Imperial Venerable commanded to aid you despite shouldering the fatigue of tending to the spirits all alone. ::
Underworld Ten Kings!
The Ten Great Kings have been dispatched to help .
The voice of the Underworld transmits into my consciousness through Indra's Net.
:: The generationally arrogant Mountain Divine Spirit is showing humility. I have seen such a thing only once before. When Salt Sea prepared for the decisive battle. Just once. : :
::...::
:: When the most arrogant is the most frightening...is when they show humility. Use the Ten Great Underworld Kings as Immortal Treasures. The Great Mountain Supre Deity Gwak Am is only showing humility. At present, for just that single mont when he uses that Annihilation Advancent Mu... : :
Kugugugugu!!
Flung into the sea of chaos, I glare at the dark-red light charging from afar and raise the Impermanence Sword that manifests only faintly.
:: He surpasses Vast Cold at their pri. : :
Pakwagwagwang!!
Chaos is driven back by that spear of dark-red light.
That is a light more terrifying than the God-Killing Spear...
And it is an obsession and grudge more tenacious than Jeon Myeong-hoon's Eighty Quadrillion Lightning-Tipped Spear.
That dark-red spear is a light of hatred that resents all things in the world.
Facing that light with the now-faint Impermanence Sword, I look straight at that resentnt.
::...This place is... : :
The mont I co to my senses, I realize I passed out for a mont.
And I realize where I am.
:: The boundary of Cakravāda...? ::
The end of this world.
A fence that confines chaos, and an eggshell.
With just two shots of Gwak Am's Annihilation Advancent Mu, I was pushed along from the sea of chaos and flung all the way to the end of the world.
:: Please live! ::
:: Are you coming to your senses!? ::
Inside my body, the Ten Great Kings, whom the Underworld transford into Immortal Treasures, keep generating life and bestowing it upon as they forbid death.
Seeing that fact, I realize I died for a mont.
'This is the might of Annihilation Advancent Mu...'
It is utterly incomparable to the incomplete Annihilation Advancent Mu I received countless tis before in the Outer Sea.
'If that then was the 'simplified' form of the Splitting Heaven Mantra...the Annihilation Advancent Mu now seems complete as the mantra that is Annihilation Advancent Mu itself.'
I realize that and notice sothing.
:: So it was not that you did 'not' seize and co down in ambush; right? : :
Kugugugugugu!!
Pushing back the chaos and at last following to the boundary of Cakravāda as if flying, I look at Gwak Am and let out a faint smile.
:: So you also 'cannot' seize the Splitting Heaven Mantra. ::
:: The original owner grips it too tightly and does not permit it. : :
In Gwak Am's hand, a dark-red radiance coils once more.
No, calling it dark red is a misunderstanding.
It is just that his montum is so full of pain and hatred that, by the power of that resentnt, the illusion that is seen seems to emit a dark-red light.
In reality, Gwak Am now is black, and even more black.
:: Unlike a certain mantra whose owner is loose and permits its body even to an enemy. ::
Kwaaaaaang!!
The radiance of the Annihilation Advancent Mu falls again.
As expected, because of the Retribution of the Impermanence Sword, evasion and the like are impossible.
And as I take the Annihilation Advancent Mu once more with my whole body, I co to see an astonishing sight.
'Reality is...'
Reality collapses.
And within that terrifying destruction, the [eggshell].
The boundary of Cakravāda begins to 'ripple'.
With a single Annihilation Advancent Mu, a crack has been made through the boundary of Cakravāda.
Recalling the scar of the boundary of Cakravāda where the Heavenly Venerable of Ti resides, I realise that the present Great Mountain Supre Deity has beco an existence comparable to the
'main body' of the pri Silver Basket.
Tukwang!
Then, struck by the Annihilation Advancent Wu whose might smashes reality itself, I am flung away sowhere again.
Kugugugugugu!
In the far distance, a [baby] cos into view.
The outskirts of the Akashic Records.
It is the world that I, together with Kim Young-hoon, reached exactly once in the past.
In the distance...
My [previous cycles] stand in rows.
Tudududududu!
And as a dark-red light dyes the surroundings like lava, the Great Mountain Supre Deity chases all the way here again.
Rushing at like an evil spirit, the Great Mountain Supre Deity directly grabs my neck and makes a motion as if to smash down again, then begins to charge together with Annihilation Advancent Wu toward the place where the form of [Baby] lies.
Reaching the outskirts of the Akashic Records is only for a mont; we pierce down into reality again, to where the baihui of the [baby] is.
Indeed...
The edge of Mount Suru.
The entrance of the Audience Chamber. We reach the Head Realm.
Jjeoooooong!!!
I slam into the spaceti near the Head Realm, and, with Underworld Ten Kings' prohibition of death and their 'rembering' of as the foundation, I use the authority of the Immortal Beast King and
barely avoid dying.
::...Like a bug.::
The Great Mountain Supre Deity looks down at and tosses out a mutter.
:: There is no need to waste ti against a bug like you... Co. O Key. : :
Kugugugugu!
In the far distance, sothing begins to fall from the Outer Sea toward Mount Suru.
The way it falls looks just like a shooting star.
Soon, the thing that falls from the Outer Sea, piercing through Mount Suru as it drops, is sothing familiar to .
Its na is Penglai Island.
Inside that world is the star that manifests the world of the Head Realm.
Wo-woong!
Penglai Island rotates.
And by the power of the rotating Penglai Island, the Head Realm starts to resonate.
And as the fate between Penglai Island and the Head Realm resonates, the [sothing] that exists in the Head Realm starts to reveal itself.
Its shape is beyond what one dares to guess at, and it is rather right to call it formless.
However, one thing is certain.
It is a gate.
So kind of gate, because of the Penglai Island that Gwak Am has brought...
I feel it slowly 'opening'.
Its speed is visibly slow so it does not seem likely to open quickly, but clearly it keeps opening steadily.
Gwak Am is opening the gate of the Audience Chamber.
:: There were only two tis when the Audience Chamber was opened without the fate of the Enders being used. The first was when Master manifested the 'key' and opened it, and the second was
when Vast Cold directly opened it by force. : :
Udududuk-
:: A feat comparable to Master. A strength comparable to Vast Cold... You achieved none of them. And yet you dare... : :
Kugugugugu!!
Strength enters the hand of Gwak Am that grips my neck.
:: With what qualification do you dare...dare falsely claim to be Master's disciple!? ::
Kwaaaang!!!
Once again, the radiance containing Annihilation Advancent Mu explodes, and Gwak Am drives straight into the Head Realm.
By the power of Annihilation Advancent Mu, part of the Head Realm's skull caves in.
:: I have a greater power than you. I have a greater purpose than you. I have a greater anger than you. ::
Kurururung!
As if it gurgles like lava, the river of bloody tears of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea falls onto my Immortal Body and sears hotly.
And yet you, who cannot compare to in anything, think you can inherit Master's robe and bowl...and dare to stand against !!?? : :
Countless thunder and lightning, and the nurous lee charges of Immortal Beasts.
::
A war is taking place.
The attacks of the True Immortals puppets.
The prophetic assaults of Heaven Immortals.
And the innurable Heavenly Domains wielded by the seven beings who stand against them!
Ururung!
When the seven lights that burn themselves gesture, gigantic Heavenly Domains fall down onto the opposing beings like raindrops.
The Radiance Eight Immortals, while burning themselves, stand against the whole world.
Kwarururung!
Thunder rumbles, and out of the red lightning, a Three-Headed Eight-Ard Lightning, each face having Three Eyes, rushes at them holding a lightning spear.
However, the Great Sun Heavenly Lord bursts with red radiance and manifests the God-Killing Spear to oppose him.
As the God-Killing Spear and the Eighty Quadrillion Lightning-Tipped Spear collide, Heaven and Earth tremble.
Before the power of Jeon Myeong-hoon, who awakened the power of Heavenly King, the Great Sun Heavenly Lord seems pushed back for a mont, but soon the Heavenly Domains that appear around
them fall onto Jeon Myeong-hoon, and gradually achieving a stalemate.
'Because the Origin Essence and fate of Mount Suru was devoured by the Great Mountain Supre Deity, and the spirits that were inside were collected by the Underworld...is that why, even though
they are Heavenly Domains, they can fling them so lightly without the slightest hesitation?'
Jeon Myeong-hoon clicks his tongue as he looks at the Heavenly Domains they are throwing.
They are the Radiance Seven Immortals who create thousands and tens of thousands of 'universes' by breathing, and in those universes there is neither the fate exhaled by True Immortals, nor the hearts
of the spirits, nor the lives of the living beings.
And because the power of the Origin Essences does not exist there either, they can instead throw or shoot them far more lightly than before.
Of course, because the power that the Heavenly Domains themselves hold has weakened by that much, he can endure even when hit, but the mass attack itself is burdenso.
If not for Kim Yeon calling forth the True Immortals puppet offensive from past spaceti through Yeon's Play, they would have been completely pushed back by the Radiance Seven Immortals.
At
least, since the Chief Eunuch White-Faced Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox, the two Blue Bird siblings, and other True Lords who borrow the power of the Underworld lend strength, the side of the
Enders is not rely evenly matched but even holds a very slight advantage.
However, Jeon Myeong-hoon cannot help but feel anxious.
That is because of one Immortal Lord placed beneath the feet of the Radiance Seven Immortals.
It is the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord.
After being struck by the Great Mountain Supre Deity in a single glow and being thrown by the Supre Deity toward the Radiance Seven Immortals, the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord is pressed
beneath the God-Killing Spears of the seven Heavenly Lords and cannot move at all.
Jeon Myeong-hoon notices that they are not rely pressing down the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord, but that by pressing with the God-Killing Spears they are erasing the prophecies within the Sword
Spear Heavenly Lord and the prophecies she hid.
'If ti drags on like this, the Radiance Seven Immortals may not win, but the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord will die.'
Jeon Myeong-hoon's eyes gleam with red.
'I will not let that happen.'
To him, he does not particularly have a relationship with the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord.
He certainly received help quite a few tis, but that is because there is a friend nad Seo Eun-hyun, and it was by the circumstance of being a friend of a friend that he received help.
Therefore Jeon Myeong-hoon has little interest in Ji Hwa herself.
However, Jeon Myeong-hoon knows that Ji Hwa holds Seo Eun-hyun in her heart.
He also guesses there are many words she still could not say to Seo Eun-hyun.
:: I cannot...let you die like that. :
:
Jeon Myeong-hoon grits his teeth, recalling the owner of the hand that has beco ashes and even within his heart completely flew away.
:: I will not let my friend...ever suffer the sa pain as mine!! ::
Kwarurururung!
The Eighty Quadrillion Lightning-Tipped Spear reddens even more, and gradually starts to push away the God-Killing Spear.
Ji Hwa sees this and smiles.
:: Behold, my friends. ::
As the forr Sword Spear, she speaks toward her old comrades.
:: What is called the heart is to be used like so. Even if you eliminate ...this present history will not disappear. ::
:: Be silent, traitor. ::
:: Be grateful that, instead of annihilating you with the God-Killing Spear, we are rely erasing your prophecies and will conduct the funeral quietly in accordance with the honors of a Sword Spear. ::
:: Conducting a funeral for living friends, conducting a funeral by forcibly killing living hearts... My friends. Now even you know, do you not. Though we are the Radiance Hall that represents and protects life...just why are we suppressing life so much? ::
Ji Hwa appeals as she looks at her old colleagues with regretful eyes.
:: Please, see the truth! How long do you intend to keep wearing that mask and turn your eyes away from the truth? ::
:: The truth...such a thing is no longer important. ::
The Radiance Seven Immortals glare at Ji Hwa and mutter.
:: What is important is that you dragged us into corruption together, and that you will soon die by our hands. ::
Kwarung, kwarururung!
Thunder and lightning crashes around them, but even Jeon Myeong-hoon, who has beco the Owner of Heavenly Punishnt, finds it impossible to reach Ji Hwa, who is suppressed at the center of
the Radiance Seven Immortals.
:: Quietly...accept
your predestined fate. Our...old friend. : :
The Pearl Jade Heavenly Lord, pressing Ji Hwa even harder with the God-Killing Spear, speaks painfully.
And, Ji Hwa opens her mouth.
::...So that is your will. In that case...I too will depart with an easy heart. ::
:: Do you think you can depart? In a war of attrition, those ones may be superior, but right in this mont you cannot stop us from killing you. ::
:: Wrong. You should have killed directly with the God-Killing Spear. Because... : :
Kwarurururung!!
At last, Jeon Myeong-hoon's lightning spear pierces the Great Sun Heavenly Lord and throws the Seven Immortals' battle formation into disorder.
The Pearl Jade Heavenly Lord looks at that sight and snorts.
:: What you trust in...is that greenhorn Owner of Heavenly Punishnt, old friend!? ::
He succeeds in disorganizing the Seven Immortals' battle formation, but that is all.
Jeon Myeong-hoon is once again bounced beyond the formation by the combined attack of the Seven Immortal.
In the end, he fails to rescue Ji Hwa.
However, Jeon Myeong-hoon smiles.
Ji Hwa also smiles.
:: Because...this promise is more important than predestined fate. ::
:: Co!! Kim Yeon!!! ::
What rushes in at the sa ti as Jeon Myeong-hoon's shout is a consciousness domain that engulfs all of Mount Suru, including them.
A vast consciousness domain, at the speed of consciousness, embraces the entirety of Mount Suru, and Kim Yeon's will unfolds sothing before the Seven Immortals.
:: Open. Liberation Peach Garden Painting. : :
Chwaaaaa-
A world manufactured solely by Bong Myeong's own law, now hanging scroll inherited by Kim Yeon, opens its mouth.
Chwarararak!
Authority.
Paradise Guidance.
The Liberation Peach Garden Painting that sucks in the desired beings.
And the Paradise Guidance that makes the surrounding beings reach their ideal.
The two authorities combine, and Ji Hwa begins to be strongly sucked straight toward Liberation Peach Garden Painting.
Of course, naturally, everyone here knows that it is only called the Liberation Peach Garden Painting in na, and beyond it is rely an entrance that leads to Kim Yeon's Artificial Gandhara.
:: Sword Spear... To the end...to the end, you go while fallen, without receiving even the honors of a Sword Spear. ::
And the Pearl Jade Heavenly Lord, shedding blood-colored spiritual energy like tears from beyond the mask, cries out.
:: Are we truly no longer friends!? ::
At those words, Ji Hwa looks back at them and speaks.
:: We are still friends. Only, I am no longer Sword Spear. ::
:: YANG JI-HWANG !!!
::
In the end, every one of the Seven Immortals, including the Pearl Jade Heavenly Lord whose anger reaches the heavens, throws a God-Killing Spear at her.
They forgo the honors due as a Seven Immortal and decide to annihilate her completely.
Seven spears fly and embed into Ji Hwa's flesh.
Having severed her connection with the Origin Essence of Light, Ji Hwa, now reduced to the level of an ordinary Heavenly Lord, begins to be annihilated where she is stabbed by the God-Killing Spears.
Yet even within that annihilation, she does not fear.
She only stretches her hand forward farther and farther.
The God-Killing Spear that ignores all prophecies and ans of resurrection and annihilates the opponent!
Even struck by those spears, she moves forward and seizes what is within reach.
It is...
Kim Yeon's hand.
:: Take it. ::
Chwaaaaaaaaa-
The mask of Gyeong () that the Sword Spear Heavenly Lord wears turns into a silver-white light and falls into Kim Yeon's hand.
One of the ten lights of the Radiance Supre Deity now rests in her hand.
That silver-white light then transforms into the form of a paper flower and is placed in Kim Yeon's hand.
::SWORD SPEAR!!!::
Seeing Ji Hwa place the Radiance Supre Deity's light into the Ender's hand, the Seven Immortals rage once more, but...
There is nothing they can do.
They can only watch beyond the Liberation Peach Garden Painting as Kim Yeon, gripping the light of Sword Spear, steels her resolve.
:: Even with the God-Killing Spear, she will not die. ::
Kim Yeon looks at the silver-white paper flower held in her hand and speaks.
:: For I will rember Sword Spear. ::
Her
authority of Paradise Guidance ignores the annihilation authority of the God-Killing Spear, and she takes in her hand a single remaining strand of Ji Hwa's wish.
:: You asked ...to make a sword, didn't you? ::
Kim Yeon closes Liberation Peach Garden Painting and turns her back.
Originally, she planned to leisurely refine Sword Spear into a sword after slowly grinding down and killing the Radiance Eight Immortals, but now that the Great Mountain Supre Deity made a surprise
attack and they beca the Radiance Seven Immortals, she has no choice but to make it a little hastily.
But it does not matter.
Woo-ooong!
Inside the Artificial Gandhara, activating the power of the domain of ti, Kim Yeon begins to light the fire in her workshop within Liberation Peach Garden Painting.
Ti inside the Source River accelerates by hundreds of millions of tis.
Inside the Liberation Peach Garden Painting.
It is
a ti applied only to Kim Yeon, but it does not matter.
:: I will make you into a sword. ::
Woo-ooong-
The silver-white paper flower hums faintly.
As if pleading to be made
into
the finest sword.
For the first ti in a very long while, Kim Yeon personally takes up the hamr as a craftsperson.
Since awakening the
Liberation Law Talent to a certain extent, she hasn't personally taken up a hamr to forge anything.
After all, even moving with just a bit of handwaving, the things she wanted ca out one after another.
But in this mont, Kim Yeon decides to forge a weapon with all her essence, energy, and spirit.
For Seo Eun-hyun, the finest sword.
'Help , Hyang-hwa.'
Embracing in her chest the heart of the greatest craftsperson she knows, Kim Yeon begins tempering the strand of Ji Hwa's spirit.
And that sight is visible to all the Radiance Seven Immortals.
For despite it being stolen, Sword Spear was originally their light.
Kkaang, kkang, kkaaaang!!
The Radiance Seven Immortals completely lose their reason as they watch the soul of their old comrade being tempered in the dirty hands of an Ender.
To them, Kim Yeon's act is nothing more than an area-wide provocation.
::ENDER !!! ::
In the end, the Radiance Seven Immortals, who until now maintained a defensive position and faced the Ender's party and the True Immortal alliance, at once abandon their advantageous defense and
begin unleashing an offensive straight at Kim Yeon's Artificial Gandhara.
Kwarung, kwarururuung!!
Seeing that, Jeon Myeong-hoon swings the Heavenly Lightning Banner.
Urururung!
The Heavenly Lightning Banner covers Jeon Myeong-hoon's body and transforms his true body.
The Origin Essence of Heavenly Punishnt temporarily descends the visage of its previous master.
Jeon Myeong-hoon becos a wall (¥).
A gigantic wall of crimson thunder and lightning blocks the space between the Artificial Gandhara and the Radiance Seven Immortals, transforming into a fortress for the Jade Pivot Forty-Eight Lightning
Heavenly Great Immortals.
Jade Pivot Forty-Eight Lightning Heavenly Great Immortals, First Seat.
The Ten Thousand Law Spiritual Lord sneers.
:: City defense was originally our specialty. Co at us. It is a defense we couldn't do back then...but this ti we will guard them, O corrupted light! ::
Kwaarururung!
The Head Realm crumples once more, a little bit more.
Clutched in Gwak Am's tough grip, vomiting Immortal Beast True Blood...
I answer Gwak Am's question.
:: Why I stand against you...is that what you want to know? ::
I look up at Gwak Am.
Uduk...
I reach my hand to the arm that is strangling my neck and begin to steadily apply force.
Duk, dudududuk...
Gradually his arm is pushed back, and in the end, the hand gripping my neck loosens.
:: Because they...have not forgiven you. : :
There is only one reason I do not die for Wol Ryeong right now.
Soley because the debts of grace and resentnt between Gwak Am and my friends co before the debts of grace and resentnt between Wol Ryeong and .
It is simply that one thing.
I perceive the friends of
the Wuji Religious Order inside Gwak Am's Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.
:: Because I must be angry at you...with theirs included...! You say my anger is smaller than yours? Don't make laugh!! ::
I shove Gwak Am hard and throw a straight punch into his abdon.
The Great Mountain Supre Deity passes by the Radiance Seven Immortals and the Ender comrades who are fighting a decisive battle inside Mount Suru, then is flung back all the way to the Outer
Sea.
:: My anger is the sa as yours...there is no difference!! ::
Kugugung!
Then, a dark-red light cluster seems to flash again in the Outer Sea, and once more the spear of Annihilation Advancent Mu falls down.
:: You say your anger is the sa as mine...? Don't be ridiculous... ::
Exuding a dark-red energy like an evil spirit, Gwak Am shouts.
:: What you lost is, at most...so ghost scraps, a few bugs that have no effect whatsoever on the flow of the entire universe. What I lost...is the one who was supposed to give hope to the Suru Three
Thousand Great Thousand World. The only friend of the Heavenly Venerable. The one who first raised opposition against the light. The one...who taught a new truth. The one...who raised since I
was a child... Soone no different from my own parents...!! How can the pain of one who lost the salt of life be the sa as one who lost re dust!!! ::
Kwarururuung!
And for the first ti, my faint Impermanence Sword and the spear of Annihilation Advancent Wu overlaid with the Impermanence Sword collide, and I do not get pushed back.
From the edge of Mount Suru, I glare at Gwak Am.
:: The sa. ::
:: What...? ::
:: Because every mountain is made by accumulating dust...even if from your standpoint they are dust, they... ::
I, seeing my friends who still suffer inside Great Mountain, shout.
::...are the foundation stones of my mountain! ::
Kaaaaaang!!
The Great Mountain Supre Deity flinches and
retreats.
:: Even if from your standpoint they are dust,
And at last, I swing my sword and, for the first ti, deflect the light of Annihilation Advancent Wu.
to soone they are no different from a foundation stone. Therefore...in the end, the pain a bug feels as it dies and the pain a Supre Deity feels at losing
kin...are essentially no different. The pain of thrashing after losing what is precious...is not sothing you can dare judge! ::
Woong, wo-woooong!
Even with my body as well, a dark-red light blooms.
All this ti, I diligently took the blows of Annihilation Advancent Wu solely for this mont.
Severing Mountain Swordsmanship.
Twenty-Fourth Move.
Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains
Absorbing the opponent's power, my power, and even the rebound force that cos between them, the martial discipline that grows gradually stronger while confronting the opponent bursts forth from
my hands.
The Impermanence Sword that is the ultimate technique of transcendence, and the Severing Heaven Sword Form used to wield it, are blocked.
If so, what I can do now only is the ultimate technique of mortality, the Severing Mountain Swordsmanship.
From the start...
The only martial art that can truly face him is the Severing Mountain Swordsmanship.
Kwaang, kwaaaang!
Annihilation Advancent Mu and the Severing Mountain Swordsmanship collide.
Between the exchanges, Heavenly Domains are born and annihilated.
It is a phenonon that occurs because the magnitude of the power we each possess is too great.
Though powers such as Origin Essence, fate, life, and spirit are not within it, because the magnitude of the colliding power is too imnse, by power struggle alone, the physical universe repeatedly
disappears and perishes.
But in the end, what the Great Mountain Supre Deity holds in his hand is the Impermanence Sword.
It is my Immortal Art and mantra, but also a martial discipline that reaches transcendence.
It is also a martial doctrine imbued with the Severing Heaven Sword Form, the higher form of the Severing Mountain Swordsmanship.
Kwaaaaang!!
The enlightennt of Severing Heaven blocks the sword of Severing Mountain.
:: You say the pain and anger of a bug and
a Supre Deity are the sa? ::
:: Because the Supre Deity is made up of those bugs. ::
:: Haha, then I ask you this. : :
The Great Mountain Supre Deity's blood-red eye gleam shoots at .
Along with a fearso authority of light, the surroundings begin to darken.
:: You and I are no different in mocking bugs, toying with their lives, and inflicting pain... Yet you dare think you could be forgiven? ::
Corpse Mountain Blood Sea that covers the Great Mountain Supre Deity's body.
The
On a part of his forehead, Wol Ryeong

Seeing that, I feel the strength drain from my whole body.
:: Look closely. This is the sin you committed. You are no different from . : :
Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, suffers and, in the midst of paint, sheds tears of blood as she single-mindedly engages in repentant enlightennt.
Sohow, the Great Mountain Supre Deity's voice seems to be mixed with self-mockery.
:: The only difference between you and is color. We are rely Mountain Divine Spirits who mock life and scatter pain and anger. Therefore...even if you defeat , you also have no chance of
victory. ::
The Retribution of the Impermanence Sword activates to the maximum, and...
I, by my own power, am pushed straight back.
The
dark-red light of Annihilation Advancent Mu bursts forth and I again fall down near the Head Realm.
:: You did not inherit Master's robe and alms bowl. What you inherited is only my robe and alms bowl. : :
Under the Retribution of the Impermanence Sword overlaid upon that Annihilation Advancent Wu,
Upon the single lifeti I made a toy of, borne beyond that
Retribution...
This ti I cannot help but sense a premonition that I will truly die.
Kaaaang!!
And, making that premonition aningless...
I live.
Soone stands in front of .
It is a blue-haired beauty in a dark-blue robe.
Huuuuuu...
A blue nebula streams from her pipe.
It is Kang Min-hee.
She, raising one hand, is blocking Annihilation Advancent Mu and the Impermanence Sword.
:: Seo Eun-hyun...will not inherit a robe and alms bowl like yours, filled with pain and anger. : :
The authority of the Immortal Beast King I lent.
The connection possessed by the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld.
And the authority Kang Min-hee possesses as a Heavenly King, and her innate talent.
Adding all of that together...
She at last found it in ti.
Wo-woooong!!
A strand of golden radiance that Kang Min-hee found stands firm, blocking Annihilation Advancent Wu and the Impermanence Sword.
It is a mask.
:: Because we will protect him. ::
It has a form similar to the mask of Mu (X) that Gwak Am wears, but it is a mask on which Gi () is written.
Gwak Am's Annihilation Advancent Wu, struck by the image of his own past self, glances away and pierces a hole in the Head Realm.
