It was a sight too unbelievable to take in even with one's own eyes.
The pupils of the warriors, who had been gripped by fear and overwhelmed by the countless hordes of alien demons that filled the horizon and kept surging forward endlessly, now flickered with black light.
-Kwoooo!
The black light of projectile sword gang pouring from thousands of weapons.
Those beams of light instantly blanketed the sky, transforming into a shower of black shooting stars that stretched toward the alien demons swarming the Ten Myriad Mountains.
-Shwaaaaaaaa!
The meteor shower of projectile sword gang at tremendous speed.
The advancing alien demons noticed it and tried to change direction, but with allies packed on both flanks and behind, they couldn't.
-Kraaaaa!
-Krrr!
Soon, the black beams slicing through the air struck the alien demons head-on.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
With them, the projectile sword gang pierced through the demons in front, bursting green and purple blood in all directions.
The projectile sword gang, which had split from thousands into eight branches and multiplied into tens of thousands.
They cleaved through the alien demons with unstoppable momentum.
Low-tier vicious beasts and monsters shattered into pieces, unable to withstand, while even yokai-beast grade and higher alien demons with strong demonic power couldn't hold against the immense force infused with demonic qi and were pushed back.
At that astonishing sight, cheers erupted immediately.
-Waaaaaaa!!!!
All the warriors under the Heaven-Earth Society couldn't help but have their morale surge at the absolute majesty their lord displayed, enough to overturn heaven and earth.
Such cheers soon turned into another cry.
A shout from someone's mouth spread across the entire Ten Myriad Mountains.
“Heavenly Demon Descent! All Demons Bow in Submission!”
The Heavenly Demon has descended, so all ten thousand demons prostrate and look up.
-Heavenly Demon Descent! All Demons Bow in Submission!!!!!
-Heavenly Demon Descent! All Demons Bow in Submission!!!!!
-Heavenly Demon Descent! All Demons Bow in Submission!!!!!
The warriors of the Justice Alliance and Evil Alliance could only shrink back with hardened faces at the echoing worship directed toward the Heavenly Demon.
Even the Justice Alliance, which revered justice and chivalry, felt a shiver of terror toward the demonic in this moment.
“Heavenly Demon Descent... All Demons Bow in Submission...”
“What the hell are we even doing here?”
“Amitabha. The demonic, which had only been stirring, has finally bloomed.”
Jeong Myeong of the Hangsan Sect spoke with a darkened face, her hands in prayer position.
At her words, Yeong-gun of the Jeomchang Sect asked.
“What do you mean by that, Jeong Myeong?”
“The world, divided merely into white and black, justice and evil, has awakened to pure demonic intent.”
In Buddhism, the pure evil of the demonic is considered something to shun even more than cunning thoughts.
The same held true in Taoism.
A third pure intent, the demonic, had been born into a world divided between justice and evil.
“The Demonic Path!”
The feared event had come to pass.
-Heavenly Demon Descent! All Demons Bow in Submission!!!!!
The resounding worship toward the lord of demons.
It was binding together all who revered the demonic.
They could only watch in dazed despair as the birth of the demonic unfolded, something justice and evil should have united to stop unconditionally.
The demonic was suppressing even the inhuman yokai.
At this moment, when the yokai sought to exterminate humanity, justice, evil, and demonic all faced the same direction.
-Shwaaaaa!
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-boom!
Wherever the black meteor shower of projectile sword gang reached, only destruction and death filled the space.
Watching this, the eyes of Dan Mok In-ho, the head of the Danmok family and Mok Gan’s clone, grew ice-cold.
‘...’
How could a human body wield such divine might?
Spatial perception to control thousands of weapons simultaneously, and inexhaustible energy like an endless spring—no, like a vast ocean of boundless power.
This was beyond the realm possible for a mere human body.
‘Has he regained his original power?’
The bastard is an incarnation.
The king of demons.
If he had regained his original power, all this might be possible, but through his third eye, the bastard was still human.
‘...No core.’
The absence of the core that the demonic kin must possess.
It was decisive proof that the bastard had not regained his former power.
-Squeeze!
Strength entered Dan Mok In-ho’s clenched fist.
Then, did that mean he had reached the utmost limit of the highest realm a human could achieve?
The Life-Death Realm attained at the boundary of life and death was not the end.
If one could harmonize with the five elements of great nature, they could reach the Nature Realm, which could be called the pinnacle.
In that state, one could draw energy from great nature itself, rendering true energy limitless.
‘Did he absorb a spirit?’
But at that moment, the bastard spoke to another clone.
[Stuff like that, you take it yourself.]
[What?]
[That’s not what’s important.]
The bastard was insufferably arrogant.
Whether because he was the king of demons, he sought to shatter everything existing.
Such a one would not defy his own words.
Having thought only of him for over a century as his fated enemy, he knew this.
Then, that boundless power meant he possessed strength nearing infinity, rivaling even the energy of great nature?
-Tremble!
“Kh... Heh. Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHA!”
Soon, Dan Mok In-ho burst into mad laughter.
Truly awe-inspiring.
You are undoubtedly the sworn enemy worth devoting my life to slay.
Yes. If it ended too easily, it wouldn’t be fun.
“This is just the beginning. And even that tremendous ultimate technique of yours isn’t without weakness.”
-Crash!
At that moment, an anomaly occurred with the weapons emitting the black meteor shower of projectile sword gang.
The blades of the weapons began to shatter.
-Shatter!
The fragments of the broken blades oxidized away, unable to withstand the demonic qi.
Dan Mok In-ho’s lips curled smugly.
As expected.
Ordinary weapons couldn’t fully endure his power.
It would have been strange if mere common weapons withstood projectile sword gang strong enough to tear and pierce even the alien demons.
-Crash-crash-crash!
Soon, the weapons unable to bear the demonic qi shattered rapidly.
Nearly half broke in an instant, and the others cracked and split, on the verge of total destruction.
Yes. That was the limit of that ultimate technique.
And now was the opportunity.
-Flicker!
Dan Mok In-ho shot his form toward Mok Kyung-un.
With all his power focused on thousands of swords, he couldn’t spare attention elsewhere.
The Justice Alliance and Evil Alliance wouldn’t target his back, but he would.
He was the enemy seeking humanity’s extinction.
He earnestly wished for the bastard’s death.
‘Inferior to the other bodies, but for you now, this is enough.’
-Hummm!
Dan Mok In-ho compressed his sword gang to the extreme, concentrating it into his sword.
‘Heavenly Sword Form: World-Defeating Sword!’
-Shwaaaaa!
His form charging at Mok Kyung-un became a single sword, its domineering aura seeming to cleave all existence.
This was an ultimate technique born from gathering his power into one point.
This body could unleash it only once, but it didn’t matter.
With one chance, he could kill the bastard...
-Clang!
-Shwick-shwick!
‘!?’
Dan Mok In-ho’s three pupils shook.
Mok Kyung-un still hadn’t even turned his head.
Yet somehow, a formless sword had appeared in the air, drawing a black line that not only shattered his World-Defeating Sword but sliced off his limbs in an instant.
He still had this much spare capacity here?
‘Even the clones... can’t handle him?’
A true monster.
A monster impossible to deal with unless it was the main body.
His body, limbs severed, spewed blood and began to plummet to the ground.
However,
-Pop!
Deep true energy made his body float.
Then, his levitated body was drawn toward Mok Kyung-un.
Meanwhile, the thousands of remaining weapons unleashing the Sky Flash Eight Immortals Sword Duel shattered.
-Clang-crash-crash!
Mok Kyung-un aimed his sword formula at the third eye of Dan Mok In-ho, now flown right before him with limbs severed.
“How long do you plan to hide?”
“...”
“Main body. Show yourself now.”
At Mok Kyung-un’s direct question, Dan Mok In-ho’s lips twitched.
Seeing this, Mok Kyung-un seemed to lose interest and prepared to launch sword energy at the third eye.
Then,
-Crack-crack!
Veins bulged in the third eye’s pupil, and the voice changed.
It was not Bi Saek-heon’s will.
“Do you think this seat, having meticulously prepared this stage for so long, underestimated the capabilities of you, the incarnation, and the humans?”
“What?”
“Through the Human-Yokai Great War of the蛟 Demon King and the first great calamity, we revised many strategies. Even puny vermin like you, when cornered, cannot have their limits arbitrarily judged.”
“...”
“You humans will realize that the Human-Yokai Great Wars and great calamities spanning centuries were mere preludes.”
-Kwooooo!
No sooner had the words ended than the front, clouded white by the backlash of the Sky Flash, began to clear.
Countless corpses of alien demons lay scattered in gruesome array.
Nearly tens of thousands, it seemed.
At the sight, the morale of Mok Kyung-un’s Heaven-Earth Society warriors, along with those of the Justice and Evil Alliances, began to brighten—but it didn’t last.
-Rumble-rumble!
Once more, vibrations shook the Ten Myriad Mountains.
As the smoky haze lifted, shadows filling the horizon came into view.
The warriors’ faces hardened as they beheld it.
“No way...”
“Just... how many are there?”
Beyond the horizon, innumerable alien demons surged forward relentlessly, trampling the corpses of the dead monstrosities.
Mok Kyung-un’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
Suddenly, he recalled the Central Plains map Jin Ye-rin had drawn on the ground.
A massive formation encompassing the entire Central Plains.
‘...Are all the alien demons in the Central Plains converging here?’
During the first great calamity, alien demons across the Central Plains rampaged to slaughter humans.
But in this second great calamity, the alien demons were under his control.
Not mere rampage—they had a clear purpose.
While ordinary humans might struggle, those who could oppose alien demons were martial artists versed in martial arts.
The demons aimed to slaughter every martial artist gathered at the Ten Myriad Mountains.
‘Must kill the main body.’
He was undoubtedly controlling this ritual.
Without killing him, they’d face endless battle with the alien demons.
-Swish!
Mok Kyung-un reached for the third eye.
With most clones extinguished, tracing the will now should reveal the main body’s location.
Just as his hand was about to touch—
-Flinch!
Suddenly, Mok Kyung-un’s hand halted.
-Shwaaaaa!
At the same time, tremendous wind pressure spread across the entire Ten Myriad Mountains, like a storm raging.
The wind was so fierce it was hard to keep one’s footing.
“Urk.”
“Wh-what wind is this!”
The sudden gale was no mere natural phenomenon.
In an instant, they realized.
A colossal shadow loomed over the Ten Myriad Mountains.
And as the shadow grew smaller, the blowing wind turned icy like a north wind, frost forming everywhere.
-Crackle-crackle!
The freezing wind that crushed all brought despair in its wake.
-Flutter! Flutter! Flutter!
-Shwaaaaa!
A massive, pure white entity accompanying a storm that seemed to freeze everything with one flap of its wings.
It was a great peng larger than one of the Ten Myriad Mountains’ peaks.
