Monochrome Sovereign [EN]: Chapter 1244

“Left Flank, Three Paths!”Papap!Centered around the Blood Demon Great Master, the six surviving disciples, including Ho Yeon-hap, leaped towards the lower left of the illusionary formation.They had descended through the lava created by the Blood King Illusionary Divine Art, yet they were unharmed. It was an illusionary technique that could potentially kill even the caster if they were not careful, but the Blood Demon Great Master, now fortified with demonic energy through the Heart-Seizing Demonic Art, was not so easily victimized by his own spells.And at that moment.Swoooosh!A massive serpent, emerging from the illusion, coiled around Tang Gwan’s body.It was an illusion so realistic that even the caster could be caught off guard. The mental shock it inflicted on the opponent would be unimaginable.However.Fwoooosh!The massive serpent’s torso was torn apart, spewing chunks of flesh and blood larger than a human torso.’……!!’The Blood Demon Great Master’s eyes widened.’What is that?!’Clatter!The sound of metal scales clashing was chillingly brutal.The hundreds of hidden weapons coiling around Tang Gwan’s body possessed both invincible defense and absolute attack power. The torso of a serpent that had failed to become a dragon could be shredded by the rotating hidden weapons alone.’He didn’t break the illusion.’The Blood Demon Great Master’s eyes wavered.’He fell for the illusion. And then he shattered it while still under its influence.’What did that mean?’An immense divine energy and a terrifying pride. I’ve rarely seen such confidence in hundreds of years.’To fall for the illusion meant that he had mentally acknowledged the existence of the mythical serpent in reality.Yet, he had easily shattered the serpent’s torso.It was a display of confidence that even the monstrous beings spoken of in myths were no match for him. Unless one truly believed that, the serpent could not have been shattered like that.Flash!Tang Gwan’s red eyes held the flames of hell.It was a different shade of red from the Blood Demon Great Master’s blood-soaked gaze.It showed an explosive emotion, as if he had gathered the rage of all of Sichuan, no, the entire Central Plains [a region in China]. Yet, there was no great wavering in his amplified qi.Burning rage and cold hatred coexisted. It was the moment when a person became most terrifying.The Blood Demon Great Master’s gaze intensified.Flash!The lightning from the sky was increasingly directed towards Tang Gwan.Bubbling.The surging lava also surged towards Tang Gwan.He was bringing forth disasters that were among the most devastating natural calamities to shake Tang Gwan’s mind.Even if he had shattered the serpent, he would not be able to withstand the power of lightning and lava. The serpent had a tangible form, but lightning and lava did not.’Let’s see if you can block this too.’It was then.Flash!An intangible force emanating from Tang Gwan’s hand soared into the sky.’……!!’The Blood Demon Great Master’s eyes widened again.The intangible divine energy that had soared up immediately transformed into lightning that spread in all directions.It was different from the illusionary lightning created by the Blood King Illusionary Divine Art. That was the divine energy of the upper dantian [an energy center in the body]. The invisible divine energy was forming a massive net of thousands of lightning bolts in the sky.’Beautiful.’The Blood Demon Great Master’s eyes became hazy.Even to his eyes, which had reached the pinnacle of sorcery, the net of divine energy was incredibly beautiful. Because it was invisible, because it was a net of qi that only the chosen could see, its beauty shone even more brightly.But behind that beauty, there was a terrifying killing intent that held a wonder beyond beauty.”Jade Sound Steel Barrage.”Chiririririring!!A ferocious sound that seemed to deafen the ears swept through the surroundings.Hundreds of hidden weapons collided and shattered. The shattered pieces of metal instantly coalesced, forming a massive dragon.Clatter! Clatter!The massive body of the dragon writhed and moved.The shattered pieces of hidden weapons constantly collided, creating an unimaginable strange sound.”Kuh!””Aaaah!”The disciples covered their ears and screamed.It was a symphony of metal fragments amplified by divine energy. The sharp sound, unbearable to human hearing, pierced their ears and shook their heads.The Blood Demon Great Master roared.”Go!”Woo-oo-oo-oong!!The disciples’ faces relaxed at the sound of his voice, which was filled with immense demonic power.However, the Blood Demon Great Master was desperate. He had used half of his demonic energy to help his followers regain their senses. Moreover, it was right after he had created the rocky mountain, lightning, and lava.His qi was depleted in an instant, and his complexion turned pale. Every time he gained power, he was consuming more and more. It was truly maddening.Kwarururung!!A bolt of lightning struck down with a thunderclap.Flash! Chiririring!!The lightning struck the body of the Iron Dragon and disappeared.No, it had not disappeared. The dispersed power of the lightning was flowing through the Iron Dragon’s body.It was an invincible shield protecting Tang Gwan’s body. The pinnacle of upper dantian martial arts, capable of absorbing even the power of lightning, was there.”Incinerating Wave.”Jjeojeojeojeojeong!!The hidden weapon fragments collided even more fiercely, igniting hundreds of flames.The sparks generated by the collision of metal against metal were burning all over the dragon’s body.Jjeojeojeong!It was a form that was on a different level from when he had used it in the past to kill a traitor and his own kin.If it was a serpent back then, it was clearly a dragon now. The form was also much more refined. It was a real dragon, massive but with eyes, mouth, and even teeth and whiskers made of metal fragments.And that dragon was roaring with its mouth wide open.It was merely the sound of metal clashing, but the sound, amplified by divine energy, was perceived as a true dragon’s roar in the Blood Demon Great Master’s ears.’How can this be possible?’The Iron Dragon, clad in the lightning of illusion, and with flames ignited by the violently rising metal scales.The dragon, imbued with the power of thunder and fire, was constantly writhing around Tang Gwan, displaying both defense and intimidation.And.Finally, the Blood Demon Great Master was certain that the dragon would roar fiercely at them.”Left Flank, Main Road!”Paah-aak!He led his disciples and ran wildly towards the west. He had no other choice.With his current Blood King Illusionary Divine Art, it was impossible to block that power. No, even if he were in perfect condition, it seemed impossible to face it with the Blood King Illusionary Divine Art.Kuurururung!!Beyond the rising lava, it was as if a massive dark cloud was rising from the ground.The yang [positive energy] of the sky, the yin [negative energy] of the earth.The dark cloud rising from the earth was drawing in the power of the dragon enveloped in thunder and fire.There was an iron cage covering a radius of about twenty yards. The only problem was the unfolding, but once unfolded, the absolute invincible secret technique that no one could break was revealing its form.The Blood Demon Great Master shouted.”Melt it away!”Chwaaaaaak!The wave became a tsunami. The thick, crimson lava rose massively and swept over Tang Gwan’s body.Fwaaaaaak!!Beyond the shadow obscured by the lava.Tang Gwan’s suppressed voice flowed out.”……Full Sky.”Kwarung! Kwarurung!!With absolute certainty, the form of the lava began to distort slightly.The lava was losing its power due to the excessive use of sorcery. Furthermore, Tang Gwan’s pride, having prepared the strongest secret technique of the Sichuan Tang Clan, was rising endlessly, giving him the belief that he would be fine even if the lava engulfed him.Chiiiik!Under that belief.Tang Gwan’s body, which had been burned, returned to normal. His hands, which had been tingling from the power of lightning, moved perfectly.The power of the Tang Clan, and his own power.With a faith-like conviction that he could never be defeated, even if the heavens and earth were overturned, the sorcery of the Blood King Illusionary Divine Art was collapsing from its roots.Fwaaaaaak!Amidst the scattering lava.The final two characters of the ultimate secret technique were imprinted one by one in Tang Gwan’s eyes, which had become calm.His right hand looked to the sky, and his left hand, which covered the earth, descended.”Flower Rain.”Kakakakakakang!!The massive Thunderfire Iron Dragon shattered into pieces and scattered.The moment it scattered, it covered the entire sky. The moment it covered the sky, it had already become a downpour.The secret technique of the Full Sky Flower Rain, which swept over the sorcery formation and even the eight parts of the rocky mountain, was falling like a name of despair.Kwakwakwakwang!!Each piece was an extremely small fragment of iron, but each one possessed the power of a meteor.There were thousands of such meteors. Thousands of meteors were sweeping through the surroundings, each with different speeds and covering different ranges.Kwarururung!!Yin and yang met, creating a massive shockwave.After the initial blast, a secondary explosion erupted. The artificially manipulated collision of true qi soon escaped the control of its master and amplified its power according to the principles of nature.It was a massive explosion that no one could stop, an explosion that even the Saintly Heaven’s Kwon-shin [a powerful figure] would have difficulty surviving.Bang! Kwarururung! Kwakwang!Now, it was impossible to even estimate the range of the explosion.Everything visible was being broken and destroyed. Due to the powerful yin-yang collision, intangible lightning energy was spreading like a spiderweb across the earth.Peopeopeong! Kwaaang!The Full Sky Flower Rain of complete incantation, drawing power from all three dantians [energy centers in the body], upper, middle, and lower.Tang Gwan’s face gradually turned pale. To capture the enemy in this place, he was pouring out his inner energy, which was like the sea, without holding back.Pusss.The massive explosion, which seemed like it would never end, was now losing its power.Pung! Peopeong!There were no more meteors. Only the lightning energy flowing like a spiderweb was causing small explosions, turning the ground upside down.And.The Blood Demon Great Master, as well as his disciples, were nowhere to be seen.’This is bad.’Could it be that even their blood had been completely evaporated?No.Tang Gwan could sense a faint trace of demonic energy far away. The power of the Myriad Return Divine Art had weakened significantly, but the same was true for the enemy. They could no longer use techniques to hide their presence.’I won’t let them escape.’Even if his limbs were torn off, he would track them down and kill them.Paah-aang!Even though he could no longer use the terrestrial flight technique, Tang Gwan’s movement technique was unwavering.* * *”Huk! Huk!”In the meantime, the Blood Demon Great Master, who had managed to extract the heart of one of his disciples, was unable to use the Heart-Seizing Demonic Art.’This can’t be. This can’t be happening.’Tang Gwan’s martial arts were truly shocking.A martial art that almost completely blurred the boundaries between martial arts and sorcery.At this level, even compared to the destructive power of the Yellow Dragon Martial Arts, which had devoured the monsters of the Blood Cult alone three hundred years ago, it was not significantly different. Although the purity of qi could not be compared, the destructive power of the technique alone was almost comparable to the Yellow Dragon.’Are they not here yet! It wouldn’t be strange if they appeared now!’He constantly cried out towards the northwest sky.Ho Yeon-hap, who had even lost his words, was carrying the Blood Demon Great Master and running wildly. His body was also in tatters, but he was acting as a carrier, even as his life force was being depleted.Thump!The Blood Demon Great Master mustered all his strength and chewed on the heart.Demonic energy began to fill his body due to the Demonic Art. His body was instantly revitalized, but even so, the amount of demonic energy he could mobilize was only a small amount.The Blood Demon Great Master roared.”Run faster! Run until your heart stops!”Ho Yeon-hap could not answer. He was saving even the strength to answer as he ran.’Damn it! Again, in this state!’The power of the Blood Cult’s high priest, which was supposed to instill fear throughout the world.His power, too, was broken under the martial arts of the Tang Clan’s head, who carried the vengeance for his father and the pride of being the strongest in the world.
