Susususu—
A bleak wind blew.
Woong woong woong.
With a low vibration, a wave spread out from Cheon Mubaeck.
The atmosphere flickered. A faint smile appeared on Cheon Mubaeck's lips.
"Here it is."
"......Where do you an?"
Neung-heo turned his head from side to side. A rather rugged mountain. It was a natural mountain, so rugged that it was difficult for people to pass through. Indeed, the place Cheon Mubaeck had co to was a heavenly place where even the relatively insensitive Neung-heo could feel the abundance of natural qi.
But how could he find the exact location in this vast mountain range?
Moreover, Cheon Mubaeck's gaze was so ambiguous that there was no way to know which point he was referring to.
Neung-heo shook his head.
"I don't see anything special."
"That's because it's your eyes, you bastard."
"Where is it? That peak? Or that valley? Or that gorge over there? Tsk. That gorge over there seems plausible."
"Ho."
A low exclamation ca from Cheon Mubaeck's mouth. Although it seed as if Neung-heo were pointing to any random place, in reality, it was not. He had accurately pointed out the qi veins, all of which were rich in natural qi.
"You haven't just gotten old for nothing. You seem to be getting more and more useful, it's very touching."
"I guess it's one of the places I pointed out?"
"Well, you're not wrong."
"Keu. As expected. Neung-heo, I'm not dead yet."
"You're not right either."
"What?"
Cheon Mubaeck casually waved his hand. From the tip of his finger, dozens of streams of qi flowed out and dug into various places.
Then the atmosphere flickered and was subtly divided. A heterogeneous feeling, as if a color had been painted over. It looked as if a transparent mbrane were flickering.
Neung-heo noticed that the transparent mbrane was the shape of the hidden Dark Heaven Formation.
And Neung-heo's mouth gradually opened as he gauged the size of the transparent mbrane.
"Crazy......"
The peak, the valley, the gorge, the faintly visible cave.
All the places Neung-heo had pointed out were covered with a transparent mbrane. No, including all of them, this whole place.
"......This whole mountain is hidden in a formation?"
Neung-heo's voice trembled at the unimaginable scale. He had seen the formation of the Zhuge Clan, and he had also seen the formation that Yakseon had spread. They were all great, but the current Dark Heaven Formation was so huge that it was hard to believe even after seeing it with his own eyes.
"Tsk. This is a headache."
Cheon Mubaeck, who had confird the roughly revealed scale, clicked his tongue.
"They're not stupid. Well, I didn't think it would be the sa as forty years ago. It's beco more cunning than I thought."
A lot of ti had passed. The Demonic Cult had raised its forces and had been eyeing the martial world.
Naturally, the Dark Heaven Formation had also had to develop more than it had forty years ago.
Although Cheon Mubaeck had also considered that point, what was revealed before his eyes was more than he had expected.
"But it's not impossible."
It just got a little annoying.
Cheon Mubaeck used the surrounding stones and branches to draw a formation.
Neung-heo clicked his tongue at the sight of him creating a formation without hesitation.
When Zhuge Seol-ah or Yakseon had drawn a formation, he rembered that they had made it as carefully as possible, considering all the environnt and situations.
Wasn't it a common thing to make it for a whole day, no, for three or four days and nights?
Cheon Mubaeck was different. He drew, stuck, dug the ground, and broke it without hesitation, to the extent that the word 'exhilarating' ca out on its own.
The scale of the formation created in that way was certainly large. But compared to the transparent mbrane that covered the entire mountain, the Dark Heaven Formation, it seed to be lacking.
"This much should be enough."
Although it was not satisfactory, this was the best he could do now. As Cheon Mubaeck stood in the center of the formation and let his qi flow, the formation began to emit a faint light, as if it were burning.
In an instant, the transparent mbrane flickered slightly.
At the sa ti, the formation burned with a more distinct light. Neung-heo's eyes widened.
The transparent mbrane gradually beca hazy, and it looked as if it were being sucked into the formation.
"What is this......"
"That Dark Heaven Formation is maintained by abundant natural qi. Then the answer is simple. You just have to create a formation next to it that needs more natural qi for maintenance and activate it."
The transparent mbrane that ford the Dark Heaven Formation continued to flicker slightly.
The naless formation that Cheon Mubaeck had created had not only sucked in the surrounding energy, but had also begun to steal a little of the energy that was maintaining the Dark Heaven Formation.
The usual way to break a formation was to break the foundation stones.
Any formation had foundation stones that ford the formation. If you broke them and removed them, the formation would literally be torn apart in vain.
Since the Dark Heaven Formation was so large that it covered this one mountain, it was difficult to find the foundation stones. Even if it were possible, it would take ti.
So the thod Cheon Mubaeck had chosen was this. To make it impossible to maintain.
"How can you break a formation like this......?"
But if it were an easy thod, it would have been used universally.
The reason was clear. As it began to steal the energy of the Dark Heaven Formation, the formation that Cheon Mubaeck had created showed signs of overheating.
Since too much energy was contained, it was overflowing from the vessel of the formation, and it seed as if it would break on its own because it could not handle it.
But Cheon Mubaeck also solved that simply.
"All things are bound to circulate."
Cheon Mubaeck stretched out his hand.
Then the energy of the formation, which had been overflowing as if it would explode, was sucked into Cheon Mubaeck.
The huge flow of qi from the Dark Heaven Formation was filtered once through the formation that Cheon Mubaeck had created, and then was absorbed by Cheon Mubaeck.
As that happened, the transparent mbrane gradually changed to a hazy light.
Neung-heo swallowed hard at the huge flow of qi.
Just by the feeling transmitted through his skin, he could not help but feel that the flow of energy being sucked into Cheon Mubaeck's body was not ordinary.
'How can so much energy be sucked into a person's body?'
It was not qi accumulation. It was a flow where the energy of the Dark Heaven Formation was filtered once through the formation, circulated through Cheon Mubaeck's body, and then returned to nature.
What surprised Neung-heo was that, even if it was not qi accumulation, he was enduring and letting go of so much energy with an indifferent expression.
'It's literally the natural qi that embraces the entire mountain. Even if it was filtered once through a formation, you're enduring it with your body?'
A literally incomprehensible phenonon.
As ti passed, the flow of qi entering Cheon Mubaeck's body beca more and more fierce.
The Dark Heaven Formation flickered greatly and its color changed from mont to mont.
It gradually beca darker and then turned pitch black.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa!
"What is this!"
Neung-heo's pupils widened as if they would tear. The Dark Heaven Formation flickered greatly and the mbrane was distorted. The sight looked as if a living creature were struggling.
The Dark Heaven Formation was not just a formation used for hiding.
In the Righteous-Demonic War, the efforts to find the demonic people hiding in the Dark Heaven Formation had continued.
Naturally, the Dark Heaven Formation had also been discovered several tis by those with excellent senses.
Then could they not do anything until the formation was broken?
The Dark Heaven Formation was also an offensive defense formation that went beyond simple concealnt.
The energy that was rushing towards Cheon Mubaeck like a wave was filled with killing intent.
It was an imnse energy that could not be compared to the level it had been sucking in until now.
Moreover, it was surely a rough attack that was close to a vital energy, filled with killing intent.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The formation that Cheon Mubaeck had created was shattered. It was overturned and torn. A blade-like presence scread and poured towards Cheon Mubaeck.
A faint smile appeared on Cheon Mubaeck's lips.
'It's the last struggle.'
He had already known that if the Dark Heaven Formation were to be broken, an attack that was no different from a self-destruction would be carried out.
So Cheon Mubaeck was satisfied. Because it was proof that the Dark Heaven Formation had been virtually broken.
"My, my lord!"
Neung-heo shouted with a bewildered voice as he saw Cheon Mubaeck smiling leisurely in front of the huge energy.
At that mont. The blade-like energy of the Dark Heaven Formation was sucked into the tip of Cheon Mubaeck's finger.
"......!"
It wasn't ordinary energy, but you're absorbing sothing that's no different from vital energy?
If it's not just an internal injury, your body might be torn to pieces?
Neung-heo, who was watching the scene, had his mouth fall open at the phenonon that unfolded.
Cheon Mubaeck had received the huge energy of the Dark Heaven Formation without any problem.
The upper dantian, the middle dantian, the lower dantian.
The energy that pierced through the three dantians and crossed the eight extraordinary ridians beca surprisingly gentle as it entered Cheon Mubaeck's body.
Cheon Mubaeck rather continuously circulated the powerful energy in his body.
Although the eight extraordinary ridians had already been opened, the energy had run through them several tis.
"The Great Heavenly Circulation?"
Are you saying you're doing the Great Heavenly Circulation with the energy of that Dark Heaven Formation?
The Dark Heaven Formation, which had been attacking like crazy, flinched.
To think he would receive the attack of the Dark Heaven Formation, which had been activated with great montum, so leisurely, and even achieve the Great Heavenly Circulation with that energy.
Wasn't it rather helping Cheon Mubaeck's energy?
Jjeojeojeojeok!
The mbrane that ford the Dark Heaven Formation broke. Although it was regenerated several tis, the scale gradually beca smaller.
It had shrunk from a scale that covered the entire mountain to a size that could not even be grasped.
He had not even swung his sword to break the formation.
He had not even unfolded a single technique.
But the Dark Heaven Formation had been miserably broken without even leaving a single scratch on Cheon Mubaeck.
Neung-heo shook his head with a shocked expression.
"Is this how you break a formation?"
"How about it, isn't it easy? Good grief. People break formations in such a noisy way."
"..."
"Let's go. To catch a madman."
Cheon Mubaeck said so and strode away. Neung-heo just stared blankly at his back and muttered quietly.
"Who on earth is the madman..."
* * *
Cheongwangma let out a hollow laugh and shook his head.
"That guy is also quite a madman. It would be better to just break the formation with a sword."
The flow of the surrounding qi was unusual. He felt the Dark Heaven Formation flickering greatly with his whole body.
But it was not being attacked. Cheongwangma, who had sharpened his senses, could not help but make a dumbfounded expression when he belatedly realized that it was stealing the energy that was maintaining the Dark Heaven Formation.
"Bigwang, is that guy perhaps from the Mad Sect?"
"That's probably not it."
"Watch carefully. He might be a talent that is very suitable for our Mad Sect."
Bigwang inwardly agreed with Cheongwangma's words, which were a roundabout way of saying he was a madman.
It wasn't just breaking the Dark Heaven Formation, but stealing its energy to make it collapse?
Why on earth had he spread the formation on this huge mountain? And in this place where the qi veins were the most concentrated in Shanxi Province.
Since it required that much enormous qi, how could he steal it?
It was impossible. But just by the fact that he had made such an attempt, Cheongwangma was inwardly impressed.
"His courage is that of a madman."
To be honest, he liked it. But there was also a disappointing point.
"I want to kill him, but it's a sha that he'll probably die from qi deviation on his own."
But Cheongwangma's expression gradually hardened. When he felt the flow of qi, as if the flickering of the Dark Heaven Formation were not just flickering, but were screaming, the corner of his eye trembled.
The phenonon of the Dark Heaven Formation clearly collapsing.
"Bigwang."
"Yes."
"Can you break the Dark Heaven Formation in less than half a mont?"
"That... if it's the Zhuge Clan."
"If it's the Zhuge Clan? No. Even if the entire Zhuge Clan ca, it would take a day."
"..."
Cheongwangma moved quickly with Bigwang. The screams of the Dark Heaven Formation beca more and more severe, and in the end, it was almost being crushed.
The Dark Heaven Formation had really been broken.
Cheongwangma stopped with a look of disbelief.
A huge energy.
That energy was approaching mont by mont.
A terrible fighting spirit billowed around Cheongwangma.
But that fighting spirit was not even a slight threat to the figure that was revealing itself below the mountain ridge.
The mont he saw the extrely relaxed face, Cheongwangma said.
"Is it you?"
A question without context. But the answer was simple.
"Yes, it's . You bastard."
Cheon Mubaeck grinned.
