Chapter Index

    *** ***

    Kuguguguguguggung!!

    The ground shook as the trap was activated.

    The falcon spirit seemed to think that the earthquake was an opportunity and dived down, aiming for Wijicheon.

    However, the judgment of each spirit was a bit hasty.

    Because dozens of bullets were fired at each spirit creature.

    Bleep!!

    The falcon spirit, which was hit by a bunch of steel rings while diving, flapped and increased its altitude.

    “Hmm.”

    Wi Ji-cheon sighed in regret.

    Since flying in the sky tends to make your body lighter and your bones weaker than living on the ground, it was thought that an attack with all your might would be enough to inflict damage, but it was fruitless.

    Since the black dragon flag did not move as intended, he lacked strength and precision, so Wi Ji-cheon only realized that he could not defeat the spirit creature as long as he had the black dragon flag.

    Wi Ji-cheon took his gaze away from the hawk flying high and analyzed the situation by looking at the huge crater that had formed with the earthquake.

    In the end, did Hyeoljon drain his spleen first?

    The appearance of the pit changed the flow of the battlefield.

    The huge ground tremor caused by the collapse of the ground covering the pit was acting as bad news for Jinbeopdae.

    Doo doo doo doo!!

    However, there was no need for Wijicheon to step forward to resolve the bad news.

    Even in this battlefield filled with all kinds of spirit creatures, Jinbeopdae, and masters, the Bicheonmacha, which boasted an unrivaled presence, soon began to help Jinbeopdae.

    So should you jump into the hole?

    Wi Ji-cheon raised his head and moved his gaze to the sky. The falcon spirit flying in the sky seemed to have no intention of coming down.

    ‘Hmm.’

    If I jump into the pit, will that guy chase me? Still, it didn’t seem like the guy who had just gotten hit would chase me into the pit where I was at a disadvantage.

    If you throw yourself into a pit and each spirit creature does not chase you and attacks the Jinbeopdae, the victory on the battlefield will immediately turn towards the blood religion.

    However, it was clearly an excessive expectation to hope that Ho Cheon-an and his companions would be able to endure for a long time against Black Death and Blood Zone.

    As Wi Ji-cheon’s worries deepened, something was shot towards the pit.

    It was Seogong.

    “…I see.”

    Wi Ji-cheon muttered as he looked at the small body throwing itself into the pit without hesitation.

    After realizing that the unknown identity was Ho Cheon-an.

    Wei Ji-cheon has been testing and observing Ho Cheon-an.

    Is Unmyung indeed the Hocheonan of the future?

    So, can Ho Cheon-an really become someone like Bulmyeong?

    Since they lived in different timelines, they could never be a rival, but even so, Wi Ji-cheon was worried about whether Ho Cheon-an could become unknown, so he could not take his eyes off Ho Cheon-an.

    It may have been a vain obsession or obsession, but it was an important issue to Wi Ji-cheon.

    And at this moment.

    Witnessing Seo Gong throw himself into the pit, Wi Ji-cheon was able to come to a conclusion.

    The current Hocheonan can never become unknown.

    Wi Ji-cheon recalled the moment when he first and last encountered ignorance.

    Wi Ji-cheon felt extreme loneliness in those empty and empty eyes. I walked that path because everything had burned down and there was nothing left to pursue but martial arts.

    Wi Ji-cheon felt a sense of kinship at that moment.

    By becoming a Heavenly Demon, you can only build up fear and awe. Wijicheon and Bulmyeong, who were separated from others and had no choice but to walk the path of shamanism, had some similarities.

    Unknown was such a person.

    But what is Hocheonan like now?

    There is no drive or reason to reach a high position after desperately climbing the path of nothingness.

    Because there were many people beside him who supported Hocheonan.

    They will never leave Ho Tian-an alone.

    Even the non-human spirit creature, Seogong, jumped into the pit to protect him.

    Therefore, he could not be an unknown person who only walked the path of nothingness, and an unknown person was nothing more than a being who disappeared forever.

    Wi Ji-cheon fully accepted that fact.

    ‘So now, Hocheonan, I need you to compete with me.’

    Does sparring require direct hand-to-hand combat? Even if they did not clash, competing while being aware of each other was also a competition.

    After Ho Cheon-an retrieved the original copy of the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

    One thought did not leave Wei Ji-cheon’s mind.

    No matter what, in the end, the unknown is also a good Cheonan and the current good Cheonan is also a good Cheonan.

    So, wouldn’t he, who only inherited the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique, fall behind Ho Cheon-an, who had reached the truth of the stars contained in the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique?

    If Ho Cheon-an, my rival, has achieved it, shouldn’t I also challenge myself and achieve it?

    Such a desire to win was welling up in Wi Ji-cheon’s heart, but he could not put it into practice.

    It was a historic moment when the dam of the Heavenly Demon God Church, which had been confined in Xinjiang due to the shackles of succession to later generations, burst.

    At such a moment, the Heavenly Demon, the shield and symbol of the doctrine, takes on a challenge that may result in the loss of the Heavenly Demon’s divine power in order to realize the truth of the stars with his personal desire to win?

    Wi Ji-cheon could not carry out such irresponsible actions.

    Until I stood on this battlefield.

    Wi Ji-cheon recalled the image of Wi Seo-ryeon defeating Gu Mo-seol.

    Since coming to the midfield, he has been running around like a colt with horns, looking for gambling partners.

    In the eyes of church members and the world, he only showed an unreliable appearance, but today’s incident would have completely changed that evaluation.

    Because I defeated Hyeon-gyeong’s master.

    So, even if he becomes the head of the Heavenly Demon Church, no one will look down on him.

    My heart tilted even more towards my grown daughter’s actions.

    Wei Ji-cheon’s eyes turned to the sky again.

    Each spirit was Wijicheon’s responsibility on this battlefield. However, as long as the Black Dragon Qi was present, there was no chance of Wei Ji-tian defeating every spirit creature.

    Wei Shu-lian has already done more than his job by defeating Gu Mo-seol. Since Ho Cheon-an also had Seo-gong join, he would be able to subdue Hyeol-jon.

    The religious saint and Socheonma showed remarkable performance, but the author, Cheonma, was unable to produce any results.

    “This is something that Heavenly Demon’s pride will not allow.”

    Now that I’ve said it out loud, it’s an even more plausible excuse.

    Wi Ji-cheon nodded and took out the weapon tied to his waist.

    The handle was luxurious, but the body was very rough, and the length of the body was short enough to be more of a decoration rather than a practical weapon.

    And the sphere attached to the body had an unsightly appearance reminiscent of metal that had been smelted, so if someone unfamiliar with it saw it, they would have thought it was a weapon made by a poor blacksmith.

    However, such an ugly weapon was a sacred object of the Heavenly Demon Church, symbolizing the bond between the ancient ancestors and the first Heavenly Demon.

    Wi Ji-cheon, holding his short glutes tightly, gradually sank into himself.

    Deep in my heart, a black dragon was curled up. The black dragon looked at Wei Ji-cheon with an annoyed gaze.

    Wi Ji-cheon was able to easily read the will of the black dragon with whom he had lived half his life.

    -It’s been a long time since you accepted me and became the Heavenly Demon, so what are you doing now?

    “I need to realize the truth of the stars.”

    -what?

    “The first Heavenly Demon realized the law of the stars and spread a bridge in the air to defeat you, but I will also reach that law and defeat the flying spirit creature.”

    -Hahahahaha!

    The black dragon burst into laughter at Wi Ji-cheon’s declaration.

    -Have you lost your mind over the success of just one kid?

    -How can a Heavenly Demon without the Black Dragon Qi be called a Heavenly Demon?

    -Look at this vast central forest. And think of the countless believers.

    -How can a mere warrior with nothing special protect the Heavenly Demon Church from the Central Powers?

    Wei Ji-cheon looked at the black dragon, who was laughing arrogantly while saying that, and calmly opened his mouth.

    “It doesn’t matter anymore.”

    Wei Ji-cheon looked at the black dragon, who suddenly stopped laughing, and became aware of his feelings.

    That I had been ignoring certain feelings that had been boiling over for a very long time ever since I met Unknown.

    “If I continue to endure it like this, I will be so ashamed that I won’t be able to live.”

    -what?

    That was the spirit of winning.

    “I was unable to stop the unknown thunderbolt, so it was my defeat. However, the defeat was easily acceptable. Because I knew well that the name unknown would soon disappear.”

    -What are you talking about…

    “ However, the situation changed after finding out that Hocheonan was unknown. Because I wanted to compete with Ho Cheon-an again, I allowed Cheonma Shingong to succeed him. So, Hocheonan reached the truth of the stars and I could not.”

    -that…

    The black dragon tried to say something, but Wi Ji-cheon wasn’t even interested in what the black dragon said.

    “My stomach was boiling, but I was able to hold it in. At the time when I was challenging the Heavenly Demon God, I didn’t even know about the existence of a person called Hocheonan. If I had the Hocheonan when I challenged the Heavenly Demon God, I would never have accepted you even if I had to die without becoming a Heavenly Demon.”

    Wi Ji-cheon continued speaking.

    “No matter how many excuses you make, you can’t control your anger. Look at the current situation. If I’m carrying you, I won’t be able to defeat a single spirit creature, and Ho Cheon-an will catch the Black Death and Blood Zone with Seogong. Defeat. Wasn’t it truly a crushing defeat?”

    -Have you gone crazy? What a truly outrageous statement!

    Wi Ji-cheon thought.

    Black Dragon’s point was logically valid.

    Didn’t they make an unspoken agreement with Unknown to give him a chance? But how about trying to compete with the unknown with Hocheonan? Moreover, the expression “match against Hocheonan” was also ambiguous.

    It wasn’t an official proposal to compete with Ho Cheon-an, it was just something that Wi Ji-cheon was thinking about in his mind.

    However, such criticism did not give Wi Ji-cheon any inspiration.

    Because my heart was already heated with the desire to win.

    “It doesn’t matter if you’re crazy. It doesn’t matter if you are no longer the Heavenly Demon.”

    My heated heart was filled with only simple obsession.

    Obtain the truth of the stars.

    With that principle, each spirit creature is defeated.

    So it becomes the same number as Ho Cheon-an!

    Wi Ji-cheon raised his breech and aimed at the black dragon. Wi Ji-cheon, whose heart was burning hot, had a fierce smile on his face.

    Realizing that Wei Ji-cheon was sincere, the black dragon hurriedly spread its wings and flew up.

    -Even if you held the weight. Even if you kill me, do you think you will reach the laws of the stars? The guy who has already accepted me and compromised, knows the topic!

    However, both Wijicheon and the black dragon knew that their actions were a futile struggle.

    Because Wi Ji-cheon had already defeated the black dragon a long time ago.

    “Even if you can’t reach it, there will be a chance of defeating each spirit creature.”

    -You crazy bastard! Stop it! I lost! I will not interfere when dealing with spirit creatures!

    “Not a bad suggestion. But it’s not enough.”

    Wei Ji-cheon kicked the ground and shot towards the black dragon. The black dragon, sensing Wei Ji-cheon’s clear murderous intent, screamed.

    “That’s why we can’t catch up with Ho Cheon-an, who realized the law of the stars.”

    -Kyaaa!!

    The black dragon that was hit by the breech fell into pieces and scattered.

    When the fight in the image, which was only a moment in reality, ended, black dragon energy poured out from Wei Ji-cheon’s whole body. Soon, the black dragon, which had depicted a struggling figure, completely disappeared.

    The phenomenon was similar to the time when Ho Cheon-an destroyed the Black Dragon, but the scale was different.

    Everyone looked back at Wei Ji-cheon in surprise as they saw a huge black dragon, which could be believed to be a real black dragon, erupting into the sky and wriggling before disappearing, and the spirit falcon flying in the sky also ran away in a hurry.

    Wi Ji-cheon’s red eyes regained their original color.

    Wi Ji-cheon felt helpless for a moment.

    Because the huge black dragon energy that filled his entire body disappeared, all that was left was the internal energy he had worked hard to build up.

    But Wi Ji-cheon was smiling.

    Because the black dragon and the black dragon disappeared, and the truth of the star whispering dullly began to fill my empty body and mind.

    Wi Ji-cheon thought as he accepted the law of the stars.

    Can this really be called the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique? Even if the first Heavenly Demon realized the law of the stars with the same blunt force, what Wijicheon realized now would be different.

    Bleep!

    Wi Ji-cheon, who was intoxicated with the laws of the stars and thinking such thoughts, came to his senses and gained enlightenment when he heard a cry ringing in his ears.

    What was the reason for trying to destroy the black dragon and realize the laws of the stars?

    It was to defeat every spirit and achieve equal numbers with Hocheonan.

    However, each spirit creature was scared and kept its distance.

    ‘You must not forget your purpose.’

    The Heavenly Demon’s feet soared into the air and stepped on the air. Then, he stepped into the air once again and soared into the sky.

    A walk in the air.

    After the invitation, he could have been moved by the unfolding of the divine law that had been treated as a legend, but Wi Ji-cheon only focused on unfolding the divine law to chase away the fleeing hawk.

    Soon, Wi Ji-cheon’s new model flew higher than a falcon.

    Bleep!!

    Wijicheon lifted his breech while listening to the frightened cries of the falcon spirit creatures. Since the opponent has lost his fighting spirit, there is no need to take his life.

    ‘But I need proof that I defeated it.’

    So we have to take it down first.

    Although he realized the law of the stars, he became obsessed with competing with Ho Cheon-an, and Gang-gi flocked to Wi Ji-cheon’s pendulum.

    Cheonma ginseng.

    The falcon spirit creature, unable to withstand the blow of the silver star-covered blunt axis, fell toward the ground.

    Wow!!

    After checking the condition of the falcon spirit, which was unable to withstand the shock of the fall and fainted helplessly, Wi Ji-cheon slowly fell down and looked at the atmosphere of the battlefield.

    The atmosphere of the battlefield was unilaterally tilted toward the Heavenly Demon Church.

    Perhaps because of Wijicheon’s inaction, the warriors who had joined the blood religion were running away from various places, and the Jinbeopdae were also chasing away the spirits, perhaps because they were inspired.

    It just took time for the results to come out, and it was as if the winner or loser had already been decided.

    Finally, Wi Ji-cheon looked into the pit.

    The sight of Ho Cheon-an and his companions confronting the Blood Zone while protecting Heuksa, which had been split into two, and Seogong, which had returned to its original size, came into view.

    Wi Ji-cheon watched the scene and muttered.

    “Finish. Hocheonan.”

    Was it even possible to hear those words?

    Ho Cheon-an and his companions began to move toward settlement.
