Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 409

< Episode 107: Heavenly Demon (5) >

Hyeongyeong (玄境) which can be said to be the highest state.

It means that the realization of martial arts has reached heaven.

Many people who cultivate radish hope to overcome the wall and reach harmony and they devote their lives to reaching the sky.

However only a few people reached that harmony and even rarer were those who reached the higher realm heaven.

The reality was that there were many people who could not go beyond the pinnacle of excellence even if they dedicated their lives to it but among those countless martial artists there were definitely born geniuses.

Bi-seon the head of the Cheonjihoe of the time was a person who belonged to that genius.

From an early age he walked a solid path with innate talent and reached the realm of enlightenment without ever being blocked by the wall of enlightenment.

[…indeed. Is that so?]

This was his father’s reaction to his talent.

He was a man who had never shown proper interest in his mother or himself to the point of being heartless but he had actually changed since he crossed the wall.

I even personally gave him martial arts instruction so that he could become stronger.

At first he was skeptical of his father’s interest in him which he did not see until he was twenty-nine.

However as he did not like his father’s continued attention and attentiveness he devoted himself even more to martial arts and after much effort he reached a state called the highest state.

[Ha…Hahahaha. Hahahahahaha!]

On the day he arrived at the police station he was overjoyed.

Although the road to the top has been smooth the current state of affairs has not been so.

He too hit a wall and was stagnant for a long time.

However after overcoming the hardships gaining enlightenment breaking down the wall and reaching a level that only three people have achieved in the current martial arts world it was natural that he could not control his joy.

[Father! Father!]

Bi-bi-seon thought that if his father found out about this he would be very happy.

After a month he was filled with high expectations and reported this to his father.

-Shudder!

Bi-bi-seon discovered a new face in his father that he had never seen before.

[Indeed… I see.]

The father who answered with joy looked at himself and his face did not show pride in his son.

It was close to the gaze of a wild beast or predator looking at its prey.

okay. That was greed.

After reading from his father an incomprehensible and heterogeneous emotion that was contrary to what he had expected from that day on he became stuck in a state of stagnation longer than before.

* * *

After the day of the catastrophe Moorim faced a long period of stagnation.

Although the martial arts and many records from the Gumuram period were lost the few remaining old books showed that there existed a higher realm beyond the current realm which was called the supreme realm.

That was the state of life and death.

[The ultimate state that can be achieved if you can overcome your will at the border between life and death.]

Three brilliant swords made of extremely transparent energy appear around Mokgyeongun.

It was an intangible sword.

There was a big commotion in the square below as if there were people who recognized this.

“This can’t be right…”

“An intangible sword?”

Intangible sword.

This is a technique that can only be achieved by those who have reached the level of swordplay and not only understanding of the sword but also realization of energy is possible only when one goes beyond the realm of sagejing.

That means

“A new life and death scene!”

Those who knew about the existence of life and death were astonished.

It was definitely true.

The three intangible swords that Mu Qingyun was now seeing showed that he had reached the state of life and death.

-closely!

Grand Duke Na Yulyang’s fists tightened at the sounds of exclamation and surprise heard around him.

‘Mok Gyeong-un…. What kind of guy are you….’

Because the accident was not closed he acknowledged that he was stronger than he was.

However no matter how outstanding his military talent was he believed that it was only possible because he went outside of Cheonjihoe and met various opportunities.

That’s why he thought he had reached the level of enlightenment before him.

However when I heard that he had surpassed the realm of reality and reached the legendary state of life and death that even my teacher Hoeju of the time could not reach I was so angry that it turned my stomach.

‘…Are you playing with me?’

From the beginning the guy was on the verge of killing himself in one go.

And yet he didn’t and he didn’t show it.

That alone was enough to know Nayulryang.

This means that in his mind there was already no such thing as himself.

‘You’re me! ‘Off.’

I feel resentful.

This is the first time in my life that I have been this angry.

For the first time he thought that he had a rival but it was only his illusion.

‘Confucius…’

When Moyak saw him like that his heart broke.

It was heartbreaking to see my arrogant master Nayuliang who had never lost confidence even for a moment feeling jealous and suffering because of someone like this.

Why did such a monster appear in front of Prince Na Yu-ryang who was called a genius who only appears once in hundreds of years?

Moyak raised his head and looked at Mu Qingyun floating in the air in the square.

-Shoot!

Mo Gyeong-un moved.

The moment he extends the test paper forward

-Sureuk!

One of the three intangible swords next to him rushed towards Huaiju.

The speed was so fast that the moment it moved the shape disappeared and it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

However for Hoeju who is confronting him

‘It’s coming.’

He could clearly see the intangible sword trying to pierce his chest at once.

When Hoeju stretched out his sword four of the twelve Igieo swords that were spread out like wings around him overlapped like shields.

-Chaaaaaaaaa!

I blocked the intangible sword that was running towards me.

-Paaaaang!

However even though he blocked the intangible sword by crossing the four Igigeoreomgang the power was so strong that Hoeju’s new form was thrown back.

‘Is it to this extent?’

Hoeju inwardly clicked his tongue.

Since he was an intangible sword called Geomgeuk (劍極) he naturally assumed that it would have a power greater than that of Geomgang but it was much more than that.

and

-Wow!

‘side!’

As I stretched out my hand to the right side of the hoiju the four Igieo swords spread their sword blades like four masters doing a joint attack creating dozens of sharp trajectories.

-Pachichichichik!

Between the tracks blue flames were jumping like lightning and an intangible sword was recklessly breaking through.

‘Are you saying that if there is no gap you are going to force it?’

-Shudder!

Hoeju who was sticking out his tongue looked somewhere.

-Sigh!

Huaiju hurriedly moved the index finger of his left hand.

Then two of the remaining Igieo swords that were guarding his side flew in the direction where Hoeju had stretched out his sword.

-Shoosh!

There was no one there

-Chaeang!

Someone appeared in the middle of Igieogeomgang’s path and struck it down.

It was Mokgyeongun.

Mok Kyung-un who had reached the point where he could wield an intangible sword had already reached the level of moving across space at ultra-high speed regardless of whether it was on the ground or in the air and if he was even the slightest bit distracted he would have no choice but to miss his destination.

However as a being who received the title of Six Heavens and a great master who had reached the pinnacle of virtuous realms Hoeju displayed superhuman concentration.

-Chaeang!

Before he knew it he had dug in right in front of him and swung the intangible sword directly and it was not enough for Hoeju to block it with the treasured sword Sookmyeong (宿命) that Hoeju was holding so he rushed towards Mok Gyeong-un’s back and left ribs with two sword swords.

of course

-Pachachachang!

Mok Kyung-un easily deflected two swords by simply drawing a path in the shape of a full moon with his intangible sword.

And that’s not enough

-Pot!

In an instant he hit Hoeju’s right shoulder with the sword of his left hand.

-Poof!

“Tsk.”

-Changerang!

It caused him to drop his treasured sword Sook Myung from his hands.

Hoeju had no choice but to widen the distance as the feeling in his entire right arm was temporarily dulled due to the anticipation that penetrated his shoulder.

“bout!”

Hoeju swung the sword towards Mokgyeongun with great enthusiasm.

Then the twelve nearby sword swords flew in all at once forming a force and targeting the main points of Mu Qingyun.

‘Twelve Swords Tenjin Third Type Infinite Limitless!’

This is a passing examination created by Igigeomgang and its power exceeds that of ordinary herbivory.

This will not be able to defeat Mokgyeongun.

However it will at least give me time to distance myself from him.

however

-Chachachachachachachang!

The twenty-four rituals of the first magic sword technique which Mok Kyung-un unfolded with his intangible sword created an exquisite sword path and blocked the advance of the twelve Igigeo swords.

It didn’t stop here and the second second eclipse continued and the sword power was released and it was unable to escape from the path where the swords and swords interlocked and soon lost its strength and was thrown out.

-Pachachachachang!

As a result almost half of the sword hilt was even broken.

‘this….’

As if oxidized blue-colored sword pieces fly out in all directions and Mok Gyeong-un’s intangible sword penetrates between them and Hoe-ju tries to somehow widen the distance.

-Okay!

“Turn it off!”

His right arm was cut off like lightning.

It was not until the moment when Hoeju’s arm was cut off that the two people’s new forms were visible to the naked eye and there was a mix of exclamation and sighing in the square.

‘I did it!’

‘You cut off Huaiju’s arm!’

Those who exclaimed were supporters who decided to follow Mok-gyeong-un.

They couldn’t help but be nervous because it was a showdown not with anyone else but with Hoeju the head of the Heaven and Earth Association and the greatest expert but the moment they saw the sight of Hoeju’s arm being cut off they couldn’t help but burst out in cheers.

“Waaaaaa!”

the other side

‘Ahh…’

The atmosphere on the side filled with lamentation was the complete opposite.

It was a battle between the peaks of martial arts who were given the title of new and old heavens and a life-threatening contest between absolute figures who had reached the highest level of life and death.

Although the new Heavenly Demon Mokyungwoon has reached the state of life and death Hoeju has been at the top of the martial arts world for a long time and that long experience cannot be ignored so those who watch cannot help but have some expectations.

however

‘This can’t be right….’

‘As expected.’

The gap that comes from the realm.

Even though Hoeju was said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world it could not be helped.

Is it possible to finally overcome the wall of the intangible sword that is swordplay?

-Sigh!

As if Mok Kyung-un was trying to end the fight he aimed his intangible sword at Hoe-ju’s neck.

Then Hoeju who was breathing somewhat harshly and pressing the hemostasis point on his severed arm shook his head and opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Resentment is truly scary.”

“….”

“Did the anger toward him bring his demon-possessed body to this point? “I am not a ghost but Ryu So-wol the beginning of the Moon Vessel.”

‘!?’

Hearing his words Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes became sharp.

I thought that Hoeju a member of Cheonmaek’s clan might know something but I had no idea that Cheongryeong’s real name would come out of his mouth.
