Monochrome Sovereign [EN]: Chapter 1247

Whoooosh!

Jo Yang-Jin’s eyes widened.

“That one!”

A demonic figure was rushing in with terrifying speed.

The amount of demonic energy he possessed wasn’t at the level of a supreme master. However, the density of that demonic energy was superior to any other expert. The quality of his demonic energy was far deeper than even the young leader, as he was called.

A being who carried demonic energy that no human could possess.

The revealed movement technique was also strange. It looked like he was running, but at the same time, it seemed like he was floating. It was a method that was fundamentally different from the movements of ordinary movement techniques.

‘It’s a levitation technique.’

No matter how high the quality of the demonic energy, it was extremely difficult to use a movement technique close to levitation with that amount.

“Blood Venerable.”

Whoooosh!

Powerful fire energy erupted from Ki Cheon-Woong’s body.

Although his upper dantian [an energy center in the body] was not fully healed, he was more than capable of a life-or-death battle against an expert who had reached the Heavenly Flower Realm. Even while coming here, he used the Originless Mutual Destruction Technique to restore his collapsing upper dantian as much as possible.

‘I must capture the Blood Venerable here.’

So that the myth remains a myth.

So that he could completely sever ties with the Blood Cult, and so that he could eradicate the Blood Madness and Evil Sound from the earth.

Paah!

Ki Cheon-Woong flew out with tremendous speed.

Weeeeeeeng!!

He had no choice but to enter the realm of sound arts. Ki Cheon-Woong felt a splitting headache from the sound waves of the Extreme Secret Mad Song, which relentlessly penetrated him.

However.

Whoooosh!!

The crimson fire energy emanating from his entire body created a perfect shield.

Even though his martial prowess was not as good as in his prime, and he could not use all the martial arts he had accumulated due to his collapsed upper dantian, he was still the man who had been the leader of the Divine Flame Sect.

“Uuuuuu!!”

Ki Cheon-Woong’s lion’s roar awakened Ha Eun-Gyo’s senses.

‘This is as far as it goes.’

She had already read the intentions of Ki Cheon-Woong, Chal Geuk-Pyeong, and Jo Yang-Jin.

Her job was to hold the enemy’s feet until her powerful allies arrived, and until the target arrived.

And now.

On the magnificent stage, all the actors had gathered.

Chiriring!

She instantly plucked seven strings from the zither.

Paah!

As the sound arts stopped, the Black Sword and White Blade, the Black Sword Blood Demon and the White Blade Strange Demon, rushed in with their eyes blazing.

Booaaang!!

Ki Cheon-Woong flew towards the Blood Venerable, and the twin demons of the black and white swords targeted Ha Eun-Gyo.

Flash!

In an instant, the young leader of the Blood Madness, Cheon Hwa-Ryong, who had leaped past the three, flew towards the Blood Venerable, just like Ki Cheon-Woong, and Chal Geuk-Pyeong moved towards the side of the White Blade Strange Demon.

Without anyone shouting a start, they all became entangled on their own. The fierce battle of the supreme masters, their desires turning into killing intent, heralded an earth-shattering fight.

Kwaaang!

The first to start was the Black Sword Blood Demon.

As the sound arts that were impossible to approach disappeared, he unleashed a thick black sword mist, and a demonic energy that felt like it would suffocate you was felt.

Whoooosh!

Ha Eun-Gyo’s left hand turned white.

It was the manifestation of the mysterious white hand technique, the True Divine Skill of the Sound Emperor, the Plucking Heavenly Maiden Hand.

Kwaaang!

Immediately after the clash of the two experts, a pure white blade drew a crescent moon.

Flash!

It was a brutal single strike that cut through space.

Chal Geuk-Pyeong’s hand flew towards the middle of the pure white blade strike. It was the invincible skill of the Divine Flame Sect, the Flame Emperor Hand.

Bang!

With a roar, crimson flames spread in all directions.

Although he was blocked by Yeon-Wi and defeated by Yeon Ho-Jeong, that was when Chal Geuk-Pyeong’s mind was not clear. There was no ‘what if’ in a match, but it was also true that he had not been able to exert all of his abilities.

However, this was a place where he was with the sect leader. His mindset was bound to be different.

Pow pow pow!

The black and white supreme masters were engaged in a fierce battle against Ha Eun-Gyo and Chal Geuk-Pyeong.

Flash!

A streak of lightning targeted Ki Cheon-Woong’s back with terrifying speed.

Ki Cheon-Woong’s eyes flashed.

Bang! Crackle crackle!

The lightning that struck the ground after passing through the air created lightning sparks in all directions.

Even though he had avoided the lightning strike in an instant, Ki Cheon-Woong’s movements did not slow down. He was only rushing to kill the Blood Venerable faster than anyone else.

It was then.

The Blood Venerable, who was about ten yards away, lightly shook his hands.

Weeeeeeeng!

With a strange vibration, terrifying demonic energy seeped into the ground.

Kwadudududuk!!

The wide earth collapsed at a terrifying speed. Under the collapsed ground, crimson lava was surging like waves.

Ki Cheon-Woong’s eyes sharpened.

‘An illusion!’

The illusion that the priest of the Blood Cult used was only one.

‘This is the Blood King Illusion Technique I’ve only heard about.’

It was the highest level of illusion among the heretical arts. The illusion was so vicious that it was known to be impossible to break instantly even with the upper dantian of an absolute master who had reached the Heavenly Flower Realm.

Indeed, the illusion of the Blood King Illusion Technique was terrifying. Even though he knew that the cracked ground and the surging lava were all fake, his senses kept getting confused, and he felt like he wanted to believe it was real.

‘Damn it.’

Whoooosh!

Golden flames poured out from both hands that were swung in all directions.

It was the Divine Flame Sect’s Golden Emperor Harmonization Technique. For him, who could not easily exert his full power, the Golden Emperor Harmonization Technique was an excellent substitute martial art.

Although it was a substitute, the Golden Emperor Harmonization Technique was also a martial art that competed for the top spot in the Divine Flame Sect.

The golden flames that poured out burned away some of the demonic energy that was sweeping across the earth.

Whoooosh!

Behind the swaying black smoke, the intact ground revealed itself.

No matter how vicious the Blood Venerable’s demonic energy was, it could not break the fire energy emitted by an expert like Ki Cheon-Woong. There was not enough quantity for that.

However, he had an assistant.

“Young Leader!!”

Flash! Kwaaang!!

Ki Cheon-Woong’s body shook.

A black flame energy blast shot through the air.

‘It’s hot.’

It was a high-temperature flame palm technique.

The density of the demonic energy within it was tremendous. Although it was not as good as the Blood Venerable’s, it was a martial art filled with demonic energy that could not be contained in a human body.

Ki Cheon-Woong stepped down forcefully.

Kwadududuk!!

Cracks appeared in the lava that was surging up. The ground under the collapsed land was only black, but cracks were appearing in that black void. With one step, he had broken part of the illusion again.

The Blood Venerable’s eyes shook.

‘As expected of the Divine Flame Sect Leader.’

Even though he was not at full power, to break the Blood King Illusion Technique so easily.

‘The Divine Flame Sect is the place that is the least affected by the illusion technique because it is not a demonic art. If it’s the sect leader, it will be difficult to deal with him with the current illusion technique.’

A cruel smile crossed the Blood Venerable’s face.

‘Yes, my power alone is not enough.’

Kwaaang!!

Cheon Hwa-Ryong, who had landed behind Ki Cheon-Woong, raised lightning in both hands.

Crackle crackle!

It was the demonic lightning of the demon realm that roamed all over the place. It was the manifestation of the strongest and worst demonic art of the Blood Madness Cult, the Twin Dragon Demonic Art, which was created by modifying the Hell Art so that it could be implemented in a human body, the Lightning Dragon Descends Disaster.

No matter how much of an expert Ki Cheon-Woong was, he could not ignore this power.

Pa pa pang!

Ki Cheon-Woong, who moved quickly like a weightless flame, unleashed a Fiery Divine Palm strike from Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s side.

Kwaaaang!! Crackle crackle!!

It was a collision that had never been seen before.

When the huge flames and blinding lightning collided, the shattered fragments of flames and lightning swept through an area of about twenty yards in radius.

Ki Cheon-Woong shouted angrily.

“Don’t interfere, Young Leader!”

“Are you crazy, Ki Cheon-Woong?”

Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s voice contained both languor and anger.

“Just for betraying the Divine Flame Sect and sticking to the mainlanders, you deserve to die ten times over. Step aside quietly.”

It was a statement that was full of arrogance.

There was a difference of more than thirty years in age. However, Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s energy was already that of a grandmaster, so there was no sense of awkwardness in speaking down to him.

Killing intent flickered in Ki Cheon-Woong’s eyes.

“You little brat.”

His body instantly turned into a beam of light.

Whoosh! Kwaaang!

It was a brutal body slam. Even though all he did was rush in with his whole body filled with fire energy, Cheon Hwa-Ryong was pushed back by about ten yards.

Whoooosh!

At the same time as he blew away Cheon Hwa-Ryong, he swung his palm and shot palm energy towards the Blood Venerable. The time between attacks was truly close to nothing.

Thud! Puwhaaak!

The shield of surging lava blocked the Fiery Divine Palm.

Ki Cheon-Woong’s eyes flashed.

‘It’s blocking it? This?’

An illusion is just an illusion. As long as I am not completely affected by the illusion, it is impossible to block an attack with an illusion.

Yet, the Blood Venerable blocked the Fiery Divine Palm. It was a scene that Ki Cheon-Woong, who was well-versed in the martial arts of the Blood Cult, could not understand.

Booaaang!!

It was a series of shocks.

On the collapsed ground and the splashing lava, a huge whirlwind had now formed.

Kwarururung!!

Thousands of stones floated into the air.

The whirlwind rising from the ground and the whirlwind descending from the sky merged, turning the area into ruins. The whirlwind that swept across the entire area instantly split and shook the center of Ki Cheon-Woong.

It was like a natural disaster. No matter how much of an illusion it was, it was unbelievable that something like this was possible.

‘There.’

But even in the midst of all this, Ki Cheon-Woong was calm.

Anger and killing intent were boiling, but due to his long experience, he knew that he had to be calm now.

‘The demonic energy is moving from there. As expected, the center is the Blood Venerable. And…….’

Whoosh! Kwaaang!

The lightning that flew like a thunderbolt shook Ki Cheon-Woong’s body.

Chwarururuk!

The lightning that spread permeated the lava and the earth. The permeated lightning was instantly converted into demonic energy, increasing the Blood Venerable’s power.

It was absolutely impossible with ordinary demonic energy. What the Blood Venerable lacked now was high-dimensional demonic energy, and although it was not as good as Cheon Wi-Ryong’s, Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s demonic energy also had a density that was rare in the human world.

A collaboration of martial arts and techniques. Because they were arts that had the same demonic energy as their source, the combination was very good.

‘This won’t do.’

Pow!

Ki Cheon-Woong escaped from the realm of illusion.

‘It’s the best technique that confuses even the sixth sense beyond the five senses. It’s not easy for me to break it in my current state.’

In the meantime, he also had to block Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s attacks. If it was a one-on-one fight, he would have nothing to fear, but to withstand the Blood Venerable’s illusion, he would have to use the power of his upper dantian excessively.

Even if he had to use it, he could not waste it like this.

Ki Cheon-Woong, who had retreated, rushed towards the Black Sword Blood Demon in an instant.

Pow!

The fire god rushing with a roar.

The Black Sword Blood Demon, who had been deflecting Ha Eun-Gyo’s Plucking Heavenly Maiden Hand and Plucking Finger, felt a terrifying heat that seemed to burn the skin of his entire body in an instant.

Flash!!

The fire light that was shot past Ha Eun-Gyo’s ear pierced the Black Sword Blood Demon’s sleeve.

Chiiiik!

The pierced sleeve instantly burst into flames.

The horrified Black Sword Blood Demon created distance and suppressed the fire energy with demonic energy.

Whoooosh!

The heat that seemed like it would burn through his sleeve and up to his forearm quickly subsided.

However, his forearm and wrist were already covered in red burns. Unless it was a supreme art like the Blood King Illusion Technique or the Twin Dragon Demonic Art, there were few experts in the world who could withstand Ki Cheon-Woong’s Fiery Yang Energy.

“You traitor!!”

Pow!!

It was a change of players.

Behind Ki Cheon-Woong, who was rushing at the Black Sword Blood Demon in an instant, Ha Eun-Gyo, who was already plucking the golden strings and emitting sound energy shockwaves, targeted Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s chest.

Kwaaang!

Light scattered and vibrations shook the ground.

At that moment, the Blood Venerable’s Blood King Illusion Technique rushed towards Ha Eun-Gyo.

“Die, you bitch.”

Ha Eun-Gyo smiled coldly.

“I’ll return those words to you.”

Whoooosh!!

Seven golden strings were placed on the barrier of true energy that was erected in the air.

Ha Eun-Gyo’s hand plucked the strings without hesitation.

Jjeo jjeo jjeo jjeo jjeo jeong!!

The Blood Venerable’s eyes widened.

The formless sound waves containing the power of the Sound Flower Emperor’s Limitless True Energy were shaking the roots of the illusion.

“For me, the easiest opponents to face are illusionists like you.”

Pow!

Ha Eun-Gyo, who had avoided Cheon Hwa-Ryong’s lightning, flew straight towards the Blood Venerable.

Killing intent flickered in Ha Eun-Gyo’s eyes.

“You chose the wrong opponent, demon.”
