The owner of the Abyss is ?
Seong Jihan stared in disbelief at the face before him, lost in thought.
Co to think of it.
Even when the Arenas owner demanded the release of his sister Seong Jiah, the owner of the Abyss stubbornly refused.
Back then, it puzzled him why this entity would not release his sister.
Was it because it was him?
No its still too early to conclude. Its rely a face resembling mine that appeared. Isnt the na of the owner of the Abyss Taijis Lost Soul anyway?
The system revealed the na of the owner of the Abyss to be Taijis Lost Soul.
Considering the patterns of Taiji seen in its eyes and its na,
The entity seed to be closely related to Dongbang Sak.
Yes.
Even if Seong Jihans face did appear,
The entity before him did not necessarily have to be identical to him.
Seong Jihan forced himself to think this way when.
Whoosh!
The face shattered again, and its fragnts flew toward Seong Jihan.
Before he could even try to block, Seong Jihans face was approaching rapidly.
Thud.
The first fragnt to hit his face was an eye.
Then, Seong Jihan heard in his ears, hallucinations.
-So youve chosen to rebel I thought we might have ford a good bond; its regrettable.
-You cannot reach the Martial God.
-With the Taiji Swordsmanship, I will end this.
-If you cannot withstand even this, you are but a montary flicker before the Martial God.
The voice of Dongbang Sak echoed with each fragnt embedding into his face.
And as more pieces stuck to his face,
Swoosh
Multiple scenes and illusions were visible in front of him simultaneously.
So were in a desert.
Others in the middle of a city.
So above the skies.
While the background of each scene differed, the character appearing in them was always Dongbang Sak.
Swoosh
A giant symbol of Taiji ford in the air, and an old man drawing a white sword from a reversed spinning Taiji.
Whenever he drew the sword, a sensation of exploding was felt.
I havent withstood it even once
Up to the point most of the fragnts were attached to his face, scenes of dying by the Taiji Swordsmanship continued to unfold.
Sotis he resisted a bit, and at others, attempted to counterattack.
But once the white sword began to spew out darkness,
Not a single Seong Jihan outdid the sword.
And then.
Thump.
As the final piece attached to his forehead, Seong Jihans own voice echoed around him.
[Many Is have challenged the Martial God, and all have failed.]
[I never even got to et the Martial God.]
[I was killed by Dongbang Sak.]
[It will be the sa for you.]
Swoosh
Void flowed from the fragnts stuck to his face.
And soon started covering Seong Jihans body.
However, it seed like a force that rely envelops without coercion.
Seong Jihans voice echoed once again from all directions.
[As a human Seong Jihan, you cannot defeat him.]
[Join with .]
[Take control of Taijis Lost Soul to conquer Dongbang Sak.]
[This is the only way to save your family.]
Swoosh.
Along with that, a form erged.
His sister Seong Jiah, shackled and locked with a padlock, appeared.
[Beco the owner of the Lost Soul, and you can break the seal. You can take down Dongbang Sak.]
[This way, you and your family can escape this world.]
[This is the only path where my family and I can survive]
[You must accept the void, accept .]
Seong Jihan, who has been defeated countless tis by Dongbang Sak.
The will ford from those fragnts was persuading the current Seong Jihan.
An adversary impossible to conquer with just a humans body.
With the power of the eternity, the Red, and the Tree Spirits within Taijis Lost Soul, suggest using it to stand against the mighty Dongbang Sak, Seong Jihans will said.
[PR/N: Lost soul is saying since jihan has red and eternity, it should use lost soul to fight dongbak sak, not that lost soul has red or eternity.]
Dongbang Sak.
Wasnt he called the Cosmic Devil in BattleNet?
Although he had experienced the Taiji Swordsmanship through the avatar of that Taiwanese players body,
He honestly didnt know it was this powerful.
There must have been Seong Jihans stronger than my current self among the victims of the Taiji Swordsmanship.
The countless death scenes that unfolded.
There were indeed Seong Jihans who resisted the power of the martial sword in those dire situations.
Although those Seong Jihans exceeded the current one in their use of martial arts,
None of them had the traits Red and Eternity
Void Affinity and Void.
These powers were possessed by many Seong Jihans.
But,
No one had the traits Red and Eternity.
Even though only fleeting monts before death replayed,
Red and Eternity were certainly absent.
As Seong Jihan was deep in thought,
He heard a voice again.
[Join us, another .]
Join together? At the end of the day, this is just a ga, right?
[If you agree, I can fuse with your real self.]
Is that even possible?
Then he should give a clear answer.
Crrraack.
Seong Jihan grabbed the fragnts embedded in his face and peeled them off.
Then,
Whoosh
Void that had wrapped his body dispersed in all directions.
[Is this your answer?]
Yeah. Ill challenge him myself.
[Ive already had ones who gave the sa answer as you here.]
Swoosh.
Multiple face fragnts floated in front of Seong Jihan.
Flesh around the cheek, the right eye and its surroundings.
The corners of the mouth and the jaw.
These were larger intact pieces among Seong Jihans fragnts.
[Before eting such an end, its better to join in one piece. If you co now, youll have the most dominance among the many Seong Jihans.]
I refuse. Im not interested in turning into an eyeball monster right now. Its too suspicious.
[Then, this will also beco a fragnt and join]
The fragnt pieces assud defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Knowing well that no further persuasion could sway a resolved Seong Jihan,
[Ill wait then for a new fragnt.]
It gradually faded.
Even so, release my sister before you go, will you?
[Setting her free would only lead to her death at the mont of extinction This is ultimately the way to save her, Seong Jiah.]
By causing humanitys extinction? But why did you bring about humanitys extinction? And why are there so many dead Seong Jihans here?
[I have no obligation to answer. If you beco a fragnt, you will know anyway]
As it faded, the entity suddenly smiled.
[Ah, if you want to liberate your sister, co to the Abyss. If you defeat , Ill set her free. If a Seong Jihan who defeated is her guardian, that should suffice.]

Defeat that giant-eyed being?
[Yes. However, tactics like this will not work. I will actively counterattack and suppress you.]
Seong Jihan frowned.
The effective hit earlier was only possible because the owner of the Abyss wasnt focusing on him.
An adversary prepared to fight with full force would be at an entirely different level of difficulty.
Cant you go easy?
[If you cant overco even the Taijis Lost Soul, the barrier of Dongbang Sak will remain insurmountable]
With that final statent, the Seong Jihan fragnts completely vanished.
And then, a system ssage appeared in front of him.
[The owner of the Abyss has disappeared, but humanitys extinction is still scheduled.]
[The mission fails.]
[You have exhausted all retry opportunities.]
[You cannot be promoted to Space 2 Area.]
Despite having subdued the owner of the Abyss by targeting its weakness, humanitys extinction was still scheduled, the system announced the missions failure.
Seong Jihan gave a bitter laugh upon reading it.
Whos causing extinction this ti?
Ha Seriously, enough with going extinct. Really.
Thus, Seong Jihan achieved entry into the Grand Master League bloodlessly but ultimately failed in his promotion to Space 2 Area.
* * *
On the star of Martial God, Tuseong.
Gilgash, still detained by Dongbang Sak and watching Seong Jihans BattleTube, had his arms crossed.
While he watched the scenario of humanitys extinction with little excitent,
Hmm
Seeing the eyes embedded in the giants body whirl into a formation of Taiji, he showed great interest.
Dongbang Sak, why do those eyes wield a power similar to your Taiji?
Similar?.. Is that all the insight you have? Thats rely an imitation in appearance, the actual manipulation of power is crudely done.
Really? But isnt it quite powerful? Didnt that power lead to humanitys extinction?
The world was already collapsing. Even a counterfeit could accomplish extinction.
Dongbang Sak stroked his beard, belittling the Taiji unleashed by Taijis Lost Soul.
And then,
And I think I have an idea of what that owner of the Abyss is.
Yeah? What is it then?
There were beings with such eyes among the myriad spirits, Vanished under the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and Taiji. So spirits that disappeared from the void back then ford that being.
The myriad spirits
Murmuring that profound phrase, Gilgash spoke up.
Didnt the Martial God snatch your karma for sealing those spirits?
Yes.
So, the Martial God should have sealed those spirits himself, why did you do it?
The Martial God directly ordered to do so.
Haha Did the Martial God specifically order you to seal spirits with red eyes, the giants, and tree spirits?
How did you know?
Dongbang Sak looked warily at Gilgash.
Long ago,
Only the Martial God knew about the command to seal specific types of spirits rampant in ancient tis.
As Dongbang Sak eyed him warily, Gilgash pointed to his own eyes.
Those eyes embedded in the body of the Abysss owner. They belonged to those giants.
Beings with red eyes arent that rare.
I hunted a lot of them. Those eyes are exceptional.
Hmm
Such red eyes dont seem too special though.
As Dongbang Sak stroked his beard and watched the owner of the Abyss inside the channel,
Gilgash turned his gaze towards him and said,
Dongbang Sak, why did you pursue immortality?
Does one need a reason to want immortality?
It seems like a monster like you could have lived hundreds, thousands of years without becoming a servant to the Martial God.
That much, I easily could have.
Dongbang Sak affird Gilgashs statent with his answer.
However, the immortality the Martial God showed was not about rely extending physical life. He offered a path to continual growth.
Growth What for?
Youre full of questions today.
Whats wrong? This much is surely answerable. Being of the sa kind and all.
To complete martial arts.
The completion of martial arts. Isnt the Taiji Swordsmanship a finished product?
That could be said. But to so extent, I achieved my objective.
Upon hearing that, Gilgash smirked.
The Martial Arts Maniac, Dongbang Sak. Even after achieving your goal, pursuing immortality and continuing to serve as the gods servant? For soone like you, a martial artist? Hmm Its like not knowing who the Martial God is.
What are you trying to say?
Have you ever deeply pondered why you, yourself, pursued immortality?
Whoosh!
Before he could finish his sentence, Gilgashs head flew off.
And from the severed neck, blood and flesh quickly regenerated.
The newly ford head of Gilgash, watching his head fly far away, whistled.
That went far. My head.
Stop your pointless chatter.
Why so hypersensitive? Its worth so thought
Whoosh.
With a single swing from Dongbang Sak,
Gilgashs body was split into thousands of pieces.
Wriggle. Wriggle.
And from within the pieces of Gilgashs body, lips moved.
Geez Alright, alright. Ill drop the topic.
Swoosh
As he regathered and slowly regenerated, Gilgash whistled.
Dongbang Sak watched the opponent and fell into thought.
My reason for pursuing immortality
The completion of martial arts.
A simple desire to live longer.
Aside from these, it felt like there was sothing else.
What was it?
Couldnt rember at all.
Dongbang Sak furrowed his brows.
