Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 335

Heavenly Beom was relieved.

‘I’m glad I left Tamhwa behind.’

He never imagined he would get involved with the Ji family like this.

Although the possibility was slim, they might have found out that Tamhwa had stolen the Source River using some unknown Taoist magic.

“I was caught off guard last time, but this time will be a little different.”

Ji Heonwi took a stance and gathered his energy.

Scales covered his skin, and horns sprouted from his head.

The scales turned sea-blue and then were dyed purple.

His fingernails became incredibly sharp, and his eyes became like those of a dragon.

It was his Transcendent form.

“Are you using your full power from the start?”

Beom asked, and Ji Heonwi grinned, tearing his mouth.

“I thought I needed to do this much for you!”

Thump!

Ji Heonwi kicked off the ground and disappeared.

‘Fast.’

Faster than he thought.

He was large, so Beom thought he might be a bit slow, but he wasn’t.

In the swirling mist, an eerie silence descended.

Beom didn’t move an inch, waiting for the right moment.

A gentle breeze passed through his hair, and a quiet sound of waves could be heard, along with a single drop of water.

The falling drop disturbed the calm sea of mist with ripples.

A moment that felt like a day.

Clap!

With the sound of hands clapping, the Geonwon Sea beneath his feet surged.

The sea of mist swelled.

From below, thousands of projectiles shot out fiercely, piercing through the sea of clouds.

Zazazazazak! Looking closely at the things fired while wrapped in purple light, they were his scales.

‘The guy I met in the Lower World had scales like that too.’

Ji Chung and Haechong Lord also had scales of that kind.

Beom looked at the thousands of scales flying towards him and opened his mouth.

Kwaaaaaang!

With an earth-shattering roar, the Geonwon Sea surged greatly, and a storm blew.

The rising mist disappeared, and the bare seawater revealed its form.

But only a single lotus flower remained in the void.

“Hmm.”

Ji Heonwi frowned, immediately formed a hand seal, and clasped his hands together.

Then, the sea of clouds surged greatly and transformed into a giant dragon.

As he pointed at the sea dragon with a hand seal, his scales gathered.

The sea dragon’s aura became stronger with the dazzling spectacle of scales being applied.

Soon, he took out a giant trident from his chest and stabbed it into the dragon’s head, splitting the sea dragon’s head in two, and a new head emerged from within.

As it instantly became a three-headed dragon, purple mist overflowed, and an overbearing aura flowed out.

Before he knew it, his trident was nowhere to be seen, and Ji Heonwi, struggling to clasp his hands together above the three-headed dragon’s head, was revealed.

He instantly transformed the seawater into a three-headed dragon and used the trident-shaped Superior Treasure to enhance its power.

Ji Heonwi was barely able to maintain this three-headed dragon.

His body slowly sank into the three-headed dragon.

Soon, the dragon’s eyes shone intensely with purple light, and it roared like a dragon ascending.

Kuaaaaaaaa!

Dark clouds gathered immediately, accompanied by thunder and lightning, darkening the sky.

The three-headed dragon glared at the void as if to kill it, but its target was the fully bloomed lotus.

It was the lotus that Beom’s Hwaran [a powerful technique or weapon] had transformed into.

“Is it over?”

Beom, who was inside it, asked, and the three-headed dragon revealed its rage and roared.

At the same time, three beams of light in a straight line were fired from the three-headed dragon’s mouths.

“Hwaran.”

The lotus flower he was standing on transformed back into thousands of petals.

The golden petals permeated his body, and Beom stretched out his hand towards the beams of light.

Kwaaaaaaaaang!

The purple beams of light were blocked by his hand, creating a magnificent sight.

His hand turned purple.

‘Stronger than I thought.’

A few petals covering his palm were knocked off.

Beom’s eyes narrowed at the unexpectedly powerful force.

Sensing the situation, the three-headed dragon pressed him harder.

The power of the beams became stronger.

The thickened divine power blew away the petals covering his body.

Ji Heonwi’s face emerged above the three-headed dragon’s head.

“Looks like you’re struggling?”

That’s when it happened.

“Does it look like it?”

Suddenly, brilliant five-colored light burst from Cheon Beom’s hand.

Soon, the power of the beams diminished, and a brilliant golden sun rose.

“I have a divine power that I developed.”

He pushed back the beams of light.

Its size was only the size of a palm, but the essence contained within could not be ignored.

Petals gathered in the golden sun.

The petals, which seemed to embrace the sun, began to rotate fiercely.

“I have decided to call this Taehwa (太花) [Great Flower].”

A flower embracing the sun.

Taehwa.

It was a divine power created by Cheon Beom by combining his sun and Gyuncheon Bohwa [a technique that enhances power and provides protection].

Kuuuuung!

Before he knew it, the beams of light disappeared weakly like a severed thread.

Ji Heonwi bit his lip, spat out blood essence, and chanted a Taoist spell.

“It’s useless even if it’s a great divine power if you can’t hit me with it!”

No matter how great the divine power, it was useless if it didn’t hit.

He overlapped his fingers to form a hand seal, and his form disappeared, and the three-headed dragon’s body was torn apart and transformed into three sea dragons.

The three sea dragons plunged into the seawater and disappeared.

“A futile effort.”

Beom’s pupils dilated.

The first gate opened, and the second gate opened as well.

Cheon Beom, who raised the corners of his mouth, immediately formed a hand seal.

Then, his Taehwa spun around and slowly bloomed.

Numerous small suns poured out from the sun inside the fully bloomed Taehwa.

The golden small suns stretched out in all directions and sank beneath the surface of the water.

Combined with the scattered petals, they transformed into small Taehwas, filling the surroundings with flowers and creating golden waves.

“Everything under the sky is mine, so where can you possibly escape to?”

Soon, light poured out from hundreds of Taehwas and burst out all at once.

Kwaaaang!

The surrounding sea of clouds disappeared as if evaporating, and it poured down like a shower.

“It consumes a lot of divine power.”

As powerful as it was, its consumption was also great.

Cheon Beom pressed his temples and complained of a headache.

It was a divine power that had not been created long ago and needed more adjustment.

‘The firepower of the Taechun Outer Yang Divine Art [a powerful fire-based technique] and the blades of Hwaran pour down like rain.’

Hwama was Hwama, but it was Hwaran, which had become even more powerful after achieving Gyuncheon Bohwa and absorbing the sword left by Dangchun.

It was impossible to survive this.

“You were lucky. If it were real, your whole body would have been torn to pieces and you would have died.”

Cheon Beom checked that the numbers above the void had decreased, stepped on the swaying sea of clouds, and opened his umbrella.

Tudududuk.

The falling raindrops were quite charming.

“I wonder if that guy is doing well.”

He might have already fallen.

He only knew how to fight Seonchung, but he didn’t have much practical experience with Suseon [a type of immortal or cultivator].

“He’s like a child put out on the waterfront, Woncham.”

He was worried about him for no reason.

* * *

Kureureung Kwakwang!

Red lightning struck down from the sky.

Bang! Puh-ung! Bang!

He continuously used Instant Transmission and wielded the Gihwaseon [a magical fan] against the lightning that struck down as if to pierce the sea of clouds.

The fan wrapped in Red Flame created two fire unicorns.

The fire unicorns instantly covered the surroundings with fire and received the falling lightning.

Kwakwakwang!

“Will that be enough?”

That’s when it happened.

A red whip struck down next to Saha, who was only paying attention to the lightning.

Chwaak!

The seawater splashed up from beneath Saha’s feet, who had narrowly avoided it.

“Keuk!”

His posture was disrupted.

Powerful lightning and a Superior Treasure whose length could not be predicted.

Lightning struck from above, and a long whip relentlessly struck from the front, making it impossible to come to his senses.

His Gihwaseon was not weak, but it did not inflict much damage.

“I thought I would be able to see the powerful fire unicorn form with my own eyes since you inherited the Sa family’s bloodline… but it seems it was still too early.”

Kudeudeuk. Saha’s hand, which was holding the Gihwaseon, trembled slightly.

She was not a woman he particularly liked, but he had never shown hostility towards her.

But why was she trying to provoke him with words that scratched his insides like that?

Saha could not understand it.

She kept bringing up his family and using it as an excuse to provoke him.

“I think I misunderstood the Paeng family. To resort to cunningly wagging your tongue to win the Martial Arts Competition.”

“Oh my, you have to know how to use anything on the battlefield, Suseon Sa. Hearing you say such childish things, you really are young.”

Pajik.

A vein popped out on his forehead.

He was angry, but what she said was not wrong.

‘That’s why I’m even more angry.’

But he had to admit what he had to admit.

She was strong.

She knew how to lead the battle.

The method was not very desirable, but as she said, what was there to be picky about on the battlefield?

They were Suseon practitioners.

In the midst of experiencing life and death, the most important thing was one’s own life.

Compared to that, other things were not so important.

‘What would Beom have done?’

What actions would he have taken to face an enemy stronger than himself?

“What are you thinking so hard about!”

Kwang!

The sea of clouds rose like cumulonimbus clouds from the red lightning that struck down.

Paeng Gayeon, who stepped down on the clouds, stretched out her whip and looked around.

She used her divine sense, but it was soon blocked.

But that meant he was nearby.

He was hiding his presence and hiding in the mist, so it was impossible to pinpoint him, but…

“Do you know this saying? If bandits are hiding in the mountains, you can set a fire, and if bandits are hiding in the clouds (運), you can strike them with lightning.”

As she formed a hand seal and moved her lips, a strange sound like chanting a Buddhist scripture instantly spread out.

Soon, dark clouds rushed in like a flood, and red butterflies flew through them.

As the swarm of butterflies gathered and fluttered their wings as she gestured, red scales fell from the sky.

Then, in an instant.

Thousands of red lightning bolts swallowed the area.

Kwaaaaang!

The waves surged, and a tsunami raged.

But Saha was nowhere to be found.

That’s when it happened.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Paeng Gayeon’s feet turned red, and a pillar of fire soared up.

Hwaaaak!

Paeng Gayeon, who easily dodged it, swung her whip and extinguished the pillar of fire.

The pillar of fire scattered in the void and spread widely in all directions.

A sea of fire formed over the sea, and fire unicorns soared up.

From one to ten.

From ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand.

A thousand fire unicorns.

“Petty tricks….”

But Saha’s figure was still nowhere to be seen.

‘Could it be.’

Between those fire-covered fire unicorns.

She must be there.

“It’s useless anyway. The tactic of overwhelming numbers only works when there are many.”

Paeng Gayeon’s body changed.

In an instant, her snout lengthened, and red fur grew on her body, transforming into the form of a wolf.

As she became the Red Lightning Lord wearing gold ornaments, butterflies of lightning spread out.

The widespread butterflies stuck to the Red Lightning Lord’s body and turned into red lightning.

Fire unicorns and the Red Lightning Lord.

The two rushed towards each other.

The moment a thousand fire unicorns and one Red Lightning Lord clashed.

Hwareureuk!

A thousand fire unicorns turned into fireballs and gathered.

They gathered into the mouth of the fire unicorn running at the front, and it became a small sun.

And the fire unicorn.

Saha swallowed the sun.
