chapter 52
52. tumult
Wood deuk—the entire forest was shaken.
Tree trunks taller and thicker than my torso began to squeeze in all directions.
The enraged tree spirit, the entire great forest, was making a desperate effort to kill me.
Wood deuk-!
The sight of dozens of hundreds of reddish-brown stalks rushing furiously is disgusting, far from feeling the richness of nature.
What kind of tentacle is this now? If you get caught on that stem, you will be torn to pieces and you will die.
Of course, I had no intention of being silent.
Kwaaang!
fist stretched out
Kwajik! It broke the stalk that was attacking it head-on.
The opponent is a tree spirit, a dryad.
As it was not an ordinary tree, the trunk had magical energy, but it didn’t matter.
“Heavenly Fist.”
I was stronger than the tree.
Due to the fight with the teacher over the past month, the state of mind and body has been polished to the limit.
Even if it wasn’t, I had the ability to cross the Great Forest, but I feel that my body has become lighter as the shackles have been lifted.
‘Jun Kang, you are still shining.’
Maybe it was because he heard the teacher’s embarrassing voice and the adrenaline exploded.
I don’t know.
Right now, energy overflowed from my whole body.
Kwajik! Kwajik!
As I stretched out my fist with the intention of tearing him to pieces, the tree spirit screamed in pain.
─Keee
An ear cry that sounds like the eardrum is about to tear.
Blocking out the sound by covering my ears with energy, I hurriedly broke the stem to block the spirit’s mouth.
Kwajik! Kwajik!
He had enough energy to cut down a large tree.
How many times have you broken a tree trunk?
At some point, rather than attacking me to kill me, the tree trunks that desperately blocked me from approaching disappeared in front of my eyes.
─Ki-ing…
Only the main body of the spirit, whimpering like a frightened dog, existed.
The bark moved around and showed expressions, but it was still a tree.
If he really was an existence that could be kept like a pet, I would have worried about it, but I had no hobby of growing plants.
If it was a spirit that was bigger than the clock tower and possessed by evil spirits, there was no room for concern.
I found the location of the spiritual group with a sense of ingenuity, and thrust my fist into the middle of the spirit’s tree trunk.
─Queueek!
Hearing the dryad’s dying words, he pulled out the sage from the stem.
When the core of the spirit was taken away, the dryad—the great tree spirit—began to lose its life.
literally dying
I watched the guy rotting and twisting in an instant, then moved my gaze to the shining turquoise orb in the water.
──This is the legacy the vice-president left for you.
A dryad’s command that has been around for thousands of years.
What you can get by consuming the top-notch elixir is an overwhelming amount of natural guardians.
The energy itself was so pure that there was no danger that the inner air inside the body would become turbid.
It will be of great help in moving to the next step.
In fact, even in my previous life, my life changed greatly from this starting point.
through this master’s legacy.
“… … Of course, that won’t happen anymore.”
It was sure to make it non-existent.
I made a new resolution and immediately shoved the decision into my mouth.
There was no need for a guard in the process ahead.
It’s going to be over in a short time, and stupid people won’t dare to approach it.
Feeling the natural energy that filled the blood vessels of my whole body, I operated the fighting spirit qigong.
My own self-confidence qigong combined with Taegeuk’s tricks.
My philosophy, which is both strong and weak, broke its shell at once.
Kwajik! Quadruped!
Soon a star is born.
***
A pillar of light arose.
The line of aura that rose from the middle of the great forest and penetrated the sky as if receiving a revelation from the sky was so clear and large that it could be seen from anywhere.
The owner of the island watched the birth of a new star.
Byul’s close friend and teacher blessed the birth with a smile on his face.
The antagonist of the stars cursed him.
And the Prophet saw a radiance piercing the heavens in the distance, and took off his helmet.
Unable to cut, his long hair swayed.
She couldn’t take her eyes off the pillar of light even while the soil of the great desert that couldn’t overcome the weight of her armor sucked her feet.
Maybe it was because of the sentences that came to one side of my field of vision.
[ A new star is born! ]
[ The named ‘Wisoo’ watches the birth of a star. ]
[Named ‘Lee Cheong’ congratulates the birth of a star. ]
[The named ‘Demon King’ curses the birth of a star. ]
[ A choice is given to the prophet. ]
[Would you like to experience the path of martial stars following and creating martial arts? ]
“… … the future again.”
It has changed.
The cursed iron-clad knight, Kishin (奇神) hardened his complexion at the wildly fluctuating scenario.
[Causal rate: 54% -> 89%]
The direction of the world began to turbulently.
***
Damn—!
break the limits
Going beyond the human framework and advancing to a new realm.
There was still a long way to go, but many of the walls that blocked my eyes had collapsed.
Caterpillars crawling on the ground tear their cocoons and metamorphose into butterflies.
I too will live a new life from now on.
Chohwagyeong (造化境).
It is the first step to be recognized as an absolute master, and the stage of a great master who can establish a sect.
A mortal who created his own galaxy and faced the great wall of transcendence, infinitely close to a god.
As a human being, he has reached almost the highest level.
Even though it has already been passed, the feeling is new.
Feeling the infinite starlight floating inside my body, I suddenly reached out my hand.
Perhaps it was the aftermath of the process of climbing to the top, the Great Forest created a wide vacant lot.
However, a single will dwelled in the verdant forest that was still vividly alive.
──He stretched out his fist.
I hoped that the aftermath of the fist would reach the forest in front of me. When I put my will into it, it came true.
The wind blew.
It was a change in the world that occurred when the absolute master stretched out his fist.
Koo-ung!
A shallow wind broke the Great Forest.
All the trees standing in front were crushed by invisible fists and collapsed.
Perhaps from a distance, the mashed form would look like a fist-crushed figure.
It was not a transfer that was accomplished by pouring enormous energy into it.
It is only done through the heart.
Heart-to-heart kill.
A miracle that can only be achieved by those who have seen the transcendence of achieving it immediately after imagining it.
Even though I am now a mortal, I was different from ordinary people.
A position that is inferior to that of transcendentalists, but is not completely inferior to them.
Needless to say, it was because of the level he had attained in his previous life.
“good.”
Having reached this point in only half a year, I was finally convinced.
Confidence that you can do it in this life.
No matter how the future changes, I developed a will to solve it.
kill the devil
and save the world
everything I love

ugh-
At the same time, a PC room in Seoul.
Chun Yu-ha, who was seeking a party member through the Internet, felt the terminal in her arms vibrate.
She muttered, frowning.
“… … Huh, now was a good time.”
Maybe I could meet a good party, but this phone call struck the candle.
She rummaged in her arms. I found a terminal that was annoyingly crying.
[ Sender – 1st Elder ]
“Hmm?”
The person who called was the teacher who taught her martial arts on behalf of her busy father.
She is the leader of the Shinto religion and the second strongest person next to the strongest, the Heavenly Demon.
However, he was also busy, befitting a high-ranking person, so contact was rare… … .
It was something unusual on the phone.
After a moment’s hesitation, she accepted the call and held the terminal to her ear.
Likewise, at the end of a brief silence, the other person uttered a decrepit voice.
—… … You should listen carefully from now on.
At that moment, I felt a bad premonition.
He is the first elder who treats his young self respectfully as a direct descendant of the religious leader.
Even if it’s not face to face, how dare he talk to himself?
Feeling a sudden, disturbing pulse, she listened, and soon heard words that she couldn’t believe.
—The heaven of our school has ascended to heaven.
Dad died.
***
Even though they were only mortals, humans seemed to like to share their location.
To the point of looking up and praising him for being one step ahead of himself on the subject of an ant.
They say that insignificant bugs are playing with each other.
Though thinking so, the blood demon offered up his achievements as a sacrifice.
“I give this glory to you, Father.”
Throb-thump-!
Even though he was already dead, his heart was throbbing.
In the end, he was just a bug, but he was overflowing with vitality, befitting the world’s best Madou.
The Blood Demon felt his mouth watering, but he held back and offered his heart to the altar nonetheless.
Then a miracle happened.
──Son, I will give you grace again.
At the same time as the words of ten thousand demons resonated in my head, my heart burned black.
The heart of the Heavenly Demon of the previous generation was so fleetingly reduced to ashes, and that history permeated the usurper as it was.
The devil soon realized the change.
went over the wall
──Son, burn everything in front of you.
“Yes, Father.”
The Blood Demon advanced with my army.
Headquarters of Cheonma Shinkyo, Mt. Tenmandae.
towards the lair of insects.
