Chapter 2565 – 2565. The Ascension Of Radiant Light

The giant cock in my mind.

Mind-Cock (心奀).

‘Mind-Cock Erection (心奀勃起).’

My right testicle held lightning, and my left testicle was imbued with demonic energy. At the center, of course, my cock-pillar stood erect, ready to pierce the sky.

The cock-pillar throbbed. Veins stood out.

‘Mind-Cock Ejaculation (心奀射精).’

Ejaculated from both testicles, they mixed in the prostate. The prostate of the Mind-Cock was the Tai Chi. Originally, the incompatible divine energy and demonic energy achieved Yin-Yang harmony through the mystery of Tai Chi, rushing through the urethra and bursting out.

The Mind-Cock ejaculated black lightning.

Crackling.

I opened my eyes, having confirmed my mental state.

The Plum Blossom Blue, who had been looking at my corpse, was startled and stepped back.

“You’re not dead?!”

I couldn’t possibly die in a place like this.

[Using Full Recovery.]

I was resurrected with a body without a single wound. Moreover, the effect of Heavenly Heart was still in effect. And it had more than 30 seconds left. Thanks to that, I was not affected by the Heavenly Net.

Crack, crackle.

Black lightning crackled across my entire body.

The martial artists recoiled in horror at the black lightning. They instinctively realized that just touching this black lightning was dangerous.

They were right. This Black Lightning (黑雷) was something born from the combination of divine energy and demonic energy, taking on each other’s strengths. And the demonic energy was not ordinary demonic energy, but Heavenly Demonic Energy.

‘It’s similar to the Shadow Lightning (影雷) Yuria uses, but also a bit different.’

If Shadow Lightning was lightning that pierced through the essence, Black Lightning was lightning that overwhelmed everything. If forces of similar magnitude were to clash with Black Lightning, Black Lightning would overwhelm them.

‘The lightning level didn’t increase. That’s a bit disappointing.’

Also, the advantage of Black Lightning was that I could use both Lightning Heaven Style and Heavenly Demonic Divine Art at the same time. Moreover, the power was stronger than usual. The downside was that concentration and internal energy consumption were several times greater.

For now, it was for short-term battles. Maybe it would be different if I became more skilled or stronger over time.

I raised my right foot.

The black lightning that had been emanating from my entire body flowed into me. However, some of it was still being emitted. It was a bit difficult to control perfectly. The already fierce divine energy and Heavenly Demonic Energy had become even fiercer when combined.

‘But there’s no problem using the power.’

Heavenly Demonic Divine Art (天魔神功), Heavenly Demon’s Descent Step (天魔君臨步).

My right foot touched the ground. The black lightning transformed into invisible electromagnetic waves, spreading in all directions. It seized the space, shook the barrier, and overwhelmed the martial artists surrounding me. The shockwave of the Heavenly Demon’s Descent Step was much stronger and faster than usual.

“……!”

The martial artists hesitated, their eyes wide open. About 30% of them fainted and collapsed. But perhaps due to the influence of the Heavenly Net, the power was weaker than I had expected. The effect of Heavenly Heart did not apply to the techniques I used.

“This demonic bastard!!”

Grandmaster Taeheo screamed and chanted a spell. The sorcerers around him, though flustered, began to chant spells together to help.

The golden net enveloping the city, the Heavenly Net, began to shine brilliantly.

‘Nothing’s happening. It’s not attacking me directly, but weakening me?’

It didn’t work now that Heavenly Heart was activated.

Heavenly Demonic Divine Art (天魔神功), Heavenly Demon’s Descent Step (天魔君臨步) Wave Form (波形).

I took a step. The shockwave and black lightning mixed and spread in all directions. Unlike the usual Heavenly Demon’s Descent Step, the Wave Form was more focused on physical attacks.

“Set up protective barriers and energy walls to block it!!”

Plum Blossom Blue shouted. But it didn’t mean much. The moment they touched the black lightning, their protective barriers and energy walls were forcibly torn apart. The only good thing was that the black lightning also weakened to some extent in the process. Of course, that alone was enough to kill a master of the Five Qi Realm.

“Kuaaaaaaaak?!”

As the master of the Five Qi Realm, who was the central axis of the sword formation, died, the sword formation collapsed and fell apart in an instant. The solid wall crumbled, revealing gaps.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流), Gale Lightning (疾風迅雷).

I strengthened my body and ran forward. Plum Blossom Blue was horrified and embroidered plum blossoms in the air.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流), Flying Lightning God (飛雷神).

I transformed into black lightning, sped past Plum Blossom Blue. The energy wall that should have blocked me had collapsed, and the Heavenly Net could not exert its power on me, making it possible.

[Heavenly Heart (天心) is deactivated.]

Of all times, Heavenly Heart was deactivated. I returned from lightning to human form.

“Grandmaster Taeheo!!”

I felt the pressure of the Heavenly Net bearing down on me as I ran forward.

“You, demon! How dare you…!”

Grandmaster Taeheo quickly swung his sword at me. A huge sword wind shattered the ground as it flew toward me.

I gripped the hilt of the Hwaryeon Flying Blade tightly.

Crack!

The black lightning was also enhanced by the Hwaryeon Flying Blade, glowing crimson.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流), Lightning Flash (雷光).

The crimson slash cut through the sword wind. The sword wind, split in two, tried to rise again. Normally, it would have lost its power and disappeared, but a mysterious spell maintained the sword wind. However, the lightning carried by the crimson slash blocked it. It overwhelmed and burned away the invisible spell, the will of Grandmaster Taeheo carried in the sword wind.

The crimson slash did not stop and went on to cut Grandmaster Taeheo’s right shoulder.

“Kuaaaak!”

Grandmaster Taeheo screamed and staggered. I didn’t miss the opportunity and plunged my sword into Grandmaster Taeheo’s chest.

“You annoying bastard! I’ll kill you, Grandmaster Taeheo!”

I had a feeling. A feeling that if I didn’t kill Grandmaster Taeheo here, things would become very troublesome.

“Those are my words, you demon! Even if I die here, I will kill you! All of this is for justice!”

Grandmaster Taeheo spat out blood and shouted.

“Are you planning to die together?!”

I twisted the hilt of the sword with force. Grandmaster Taeheo’s limbs did not move. Grandmaster Taeheo smiled. He was not looking at me, but at the golden net, the Heavenly Net, which was beginning to shake.

“Die together? No, it’s my last resort to kill you, demon, for sure.”

The Heavenly Net, which had been fluctuating uneasily, began to gather in one place, then began to coalesce into a golden pillar and fall to the ground. Space was distorting.

‘…It’s not an attack aimed at me. This feeling is….’

Teleportation.

Instead of attacking me with the determination to die together, Grandmaster Taeheo used the Heavenly Net to summon someone here.

The true owner of this Heavenly Net!

A man walked out of the golden pillar. He was an old man, but his body was that of an eight-foot giant with a muscular physique.

His mere appearance changed the atmosphere around him. The martial artists of the Martial Alliance were relieved and confident of victory, and Plum Blossom Blue also seemed to have relaxed, his momentum weakened.

He was Gong Baek-soong, the Supreme Heavenly Lord (太極天君) of the Tai Chi, from the Wudang Sect and the leader of the Martial Alliance.

‘I’m screwed.’

A master of the Harmony Realm.

A master one level above me. It wasn’t the same. Just based on the power I felt now, there seemed to be at least a 10-level difference.

‘The difference in skill is so vast that I don’t even know exactly how strong a Harmony Realm master is.’

It was impossible to compare him to Wi Yu. I didn’t know exactly how strong Wi Yu was either.

‘Even if I use the Heaven-Breaking Frenzy, I think I’ll lose.’

Now that the Heavenly Net had disappeared, I could use the Heaven-Breaking Frenzy. I had already used Full Recovery, so I would die as it was.

I pushed Grandmaster Taeheo’s corpse, which was stuck on my sword, to the side.

“So you are the Little Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Cult. You look young. It doesn’t seem like you’re forcibly maintaining your youth with spells or martial arts…. Is it talent? You are dangerous.”

“Martial Alliance Leader. I have a proposal.”

“Hmm. I’ll listen for now. But I warn you. As much as Grandmaster Taeheo died, I will kill you immediately if you spout nonsense.”

“Ha. You guys are angry? You were the ones who tried to kill me first. There’s a limit to how much you can twist things.”

“Wasn’t it you who entered our territory? I don’t want to waste time arguing. Get to the point.”

“…I propose a duel. If I win, the Martial Alliance will not pursue me until I return to the Heavenly Demon Cult. Of course, I promise not to attack the Martial Alliance first either.”

The Martial Alliance Leader’s eyes lit up.

“A duel in this situation? I acknowledge your spirit. So I ask, what will you do if you lose the duel?”

“I will surrender willingly. And I will cooperate with the Martial Alliance as much as possible.”

“As much as possible. Will you tell us the secrets of the Heavenly Demonic Divine Art if we ask?”

“Heh. Do you think anyone can learn the Heavenly Demonic Divine Art just by knowing the secrets? If you beat me, I’ll tell you as much as you want.”

“I’m not interested in learning the Heavenly Demonic Divine Art. What’s important is to find out how to break that evil demonic art. Very well. I accept your duel proposal.”

“Alliance Leader…!”

Plum Blossom Blue exclaimed, as if scolding the Martial Alliance Leader. The Martial Alliance Leader didn’t even blink.

“Don’t worry. There’s no way I’ll lose. Little Heavenly Demon. When will the duel begin?”

“Now.”

I threw the Hwaryeon Flying Blade, imbued with black lightning, at the Martial Alliance Leader.

The sword flew like lightning. The Martial Alliance Leader belatedly raised his palm and lowered it. The sword was drawn to the ground as if by an invisible force.

I kicked off the ground and ran toward the Martial Alliance Leader. The distance closed quickly.

Heavenly Demonic Divine Art (天魔神功), Heavenly Demon’s Descent Step (天魔君臨步).

The Martial Alliance Leader’s eyes widened in surprise.

“That’s an extremely evil demonic art…!”

“And powerful at the same time.”

Crack!

Black lightning gathered in my right fist.

Heavenly Demonic Divine Art (天魔神功), Dragon Fist (竜拳).

I extended my right fist straight out.

The Martial Alliance Leader didn’t dodge and instead threw a punch.

Fist and fist collided in mid-air. The black lightning emanating from my fist tried to pierce the Martial Alliance Leader, but the black lightning flowed away in all directions due to an invisible current. Only the surrounding ground was cracked and overturned.

“Hoo. Such power. Impressive. If I were 100 years younger, I might have lost to you without being able to do anything.”

“…What the hell did you do?!”

“I just changed the flow of power.”

Crack!

Black lightning flashed and grazed the Martial Alliance Leader’s cheek. A scratch appeared, and a little blood flowed out.

“…It’s fortunate for me. If you had perfectly mastered the Mind Intent (心意), I would have had to engage in a life-or-death battle.”

The Martial Alliance Leader put strength into his lower body. Just that alone put immense power into his fist, and I was sent flying backward.

I landed on the ground, frowned, and got up.

“How is it? Now that you’ve realized the difference in power, will you surrender?”

The Martial Alliance Leader was already in front of me.

“…No. I haven’t shown my full power yet. I need a little preparation time. Just a little.”

“I’ll wait. Go ahead.”

The Martial Alliance Leader was arrogant, as if he was already sure of his victory.

I got up from my spot and took out the Imperial Edict from my inventory. And I unfolded the Imperial Edict so that it was clearly visible, then wrapped it around my body.

“What is that? A magical artifact?”

“Ah. It’s not a magical artifact, it’s a letter. It’s gotten a bit chilly, so I wrapped a letter around my body.”

“Ha…. That’s ridiculous….”

The Martial Alliance Leader, who had been scoffing in disbelief, suddenly froze. He had checked the contents of the letter, the seal of the imperial jade seal stamped on the letter. Sweat dripped from his forehead as his eyes widened.

“Paper is weak. If I get hit even once from now on, the Imperial Edict might be torn.”

“You, you bastard! Are you crazy?! How dare you treat His Majesty the Emperor’s Imperial Edict like that?!”

“If you don’t like it, go complain to His Majesty the Emperor. Now, shall we continue the duel?”

“You, you, you crazy bastard!!”

“This is the way of fighting that you call the Demonic Heretics!”

I rushed in without any footwork and swung my fist. The Martial Alliance Leader easily blocked it and was about to swing his fist back for a counterattack, but stopped.

I grinned, stuck out my tongue at him, and wiggled it to provoke him.

“Hit me. Hit me. Hit me, you bastard! If the Imperial Edict is torn even a little, the Martial Alliance will be buried with the Eight Great Clans!”

“You, you, you crazy bastard!!”

The Martial Alliance Leader ran away. Of course, I chased after him.

“The Emperor is a god! And the Imperial Edict is invincible!!”
