The atmosphere of the completely wrecked area quivered from the sound force of the Thousand-Li Telepathic Voice.
At the same time, Pa Ga-wi’s expression hardened.
‘Eul Sa-jeok?’
The other Great Generals were the same.
That Thousand-Li Telepathic Voice was certainly Eul Sa-jeok’s.
That raised a question.
Why?
It was obvious.
How on earth could Eul Sa-jeok execute a Thousand-Li Telepathic Voice?
Indeed, it was an incomprehensible matter.
With his power, it should be difficult to even execute the lower-level technique, the Six-Direction Telepathic Voice.
To execute the wide-ranging sound-power Thousand-Li Telepathic Voice, one needed internal power level surpassing middle General-rank… That is, at minimum approaching the lowest Great General-rank.
Then did that mean Eul Sa-jeok had reached that level?
Just then.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa… !
Wind sound and pressure rapidly rushed in from far away.
And one person outpaced it to appear here.
Flutter flutter, flutter flutter, flutter flutter…
The robes of Cheol Ryu-heun, Pa Ga-wi, and everyone in the area flapped violently in the wind.
Was that all?
Crack crack, crack crack, crack crack…!
Even the ground screamed from the majestic internal power accompanying the swift movement.
Everyone’s gazes, including Pa Ga-wi’s, were drawn that way.
Eul Sa-jeok’s appearance.
Having caught their attention thus, he cast an arrogant glance at the Central Heaven Tower Great General as he strode step by step toward them.
“Hoho, are you surprised because my appearance changed a bit?”
An impudent tone with the honorifics removed.
Pa Ga-wi, meeting his gaze, lowered his voice and asked.
“It’s not just your outer appearance that changed. Have you awakened?”
Eul Sa-jeok grinned and nodded.
“As you can see.”
At the continued informal speech, the Second Great General openly showed anger on his face.
“How dare you, with what gall…”
But Pa Ga-wi rather restrained him.
“That’s enough.”
His manner said he didn’t care.
That’s right.
What was important right now was not some insolent attitude.
The problem was Cheol Ryu-heun.
Killing him here for turning the Central Heaven Tower into chaos was the top priority.
Having withdrawn his gaze, Pa Ga-wi asked again.
“Did you meet the two Great Generals?”
He meant the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Great Generals.
But the person himself, Eul Sa-jeok, only shrugged his shoulders.
As if he hadn’t seen them.
Pa Ga-wi furrowed his brow and quietly looked at Cheol Ryu-heun.
‘Could it be… They got caught by that bastard and killed?’
At that moment, Cheol Ryu-heun’s apathetic voice was heard.
“No matter how long you think, it won’t increase your chances of winning.”
Bravado telling them not to delay and hurry up and attack.
The moment his words ended, four Great Generals stepped forward.
The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Great Generals..
At that moment, Pa Ga-wi sent a Sound Transmission.
The target was Eul Sa-jeok.
It was a tactical order to ambush Cheol Ryu-heun’s rear.
Pa pa pa pat… Hwi hwi hwi hwit… !
The four Great Generals charged fiercely then scattered.
Front, back, left, right.
A four-directional combined assault formation in encirclement.
The Thirteenth Commander took the front, the Fifteenth Commander the rear, and the Fourteenth and Sixteenth Commander’s took the left and right sides.
Movement rapidly closing in on Cheol Ryu-heun, who was in the center.
From a distance of four or five paces, each released sword energy.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa… !
A sound of cutting through air played simultaneously.
The power of their internal power level, which had sharply risen by sacrificing the mid-rank personnel earlier, could be felt.
Fissures formed in the ground along the path of each sword energy.
Even tremendous shockwaves on top of that.
Each one was undoubtedly at maximum power.
But then, a huge entrance of darkness appeared around Cheol Ryu-heun.
In the blink of an eye… No, in even less time than that.
Kwaaaaaaa… Kwaaaaaaa… Kwaaaaaaa… Kwaaaaaaa…
Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars.
Four in total.
Thus, the sword energies of the four Great Generals were sucked into the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars.
It didn’t stop there.
Even the Great Generals themselves began to be drawn by that tremendous power.
The terrified four all executed the Thousand-Jin Pendant by operating ascending internal power while stabbing their iron swords into the ground.
Kwak kwak, kwak kwak…!
It was to avoid being sucked into the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars.
But they all still swayed in that position.
They were being gradually drawn in.
Before the terrifying suction power spat out by the pitch-black demonic energy.
Crack, crackle… Crack, cra-crackle, crackle…!
The sound of the ground being gouged and broken by each of their feet.
Eul Sa-jeok, seeing Cheol Ryu-heun’s martial prowess for the first time, shuddered.
‘That bastard… What kind of opportunity did he encounter!’
On the other hand, he coveted it.
Cheol Ryu-heun’s terrifying internal power.
He once again fell into corrupt desire.
‘I will have it!’
Suddenly, Pa Ga-wi shouted.
“Now!”
It was his shout pushing Eul Sa-jeok’s back.
Boom!
Eul Sa-jeok kicked off the ground and leaped forward while grumbling inwardly.
‘Damn it! I don’t like it, but I have to pretend to listen for now. That way he’ll let his guard down.’
Thus, he advanced through leaps across the air.
The Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars existed in front, back, left, and right.
Then the only option was to aim for from above the head.
But at that moment.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble… !
As if an earthquake had struck, the ground shook wildly.
This place, already broken to the limit, crumbled and shattered even more into chaos.
Amidst that, terrifying black currents massively burst through the ground.
Crackle crackle crackle, crackle crackle crackle… Swoosh swoosh swoosh, swoosh swoosh swoosh… !
Demonic energies reminiscent of the pillars of a temple.
They surrounded the area around Cheol Ryu-heun and the four Great Generals.
It was the execution of Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual… A supreme technique named after the Heavenly Demon’s requiem mass, conducted with countless incense sticks for a large-scale ceremony.
It was truly a magnificent and wondrous sight.
A feeling like the fierce breath of a giant demon god violently sweeping the earth.
Puheoong… !
Eul Sa-jeok, having collided with one of them, was thrown back.
“Urk!”
Having flown backward through the air and then landed on the ground, Eul Sa-jeok’s expression contorted.
Even though he hadn’t collided head-on, a considerably heavy impact had struck him.
That once again amplified his longing for Cheol Ryu-heun’s internal power.
Meanwhile, Pa Ga-wi’s expression was one of shock.
‘What, the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars and Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual simultaneously…!’
It was truly astonishing.
Setting aside the terrifying power that forbade approach, to execute two supreme techniques simultaneously.
The ominous premonition in his chest grew denser.
The death of Black Tortoise Divine General Wang-ryu that he’d heard earlier.
That might actually be true…
The Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual was a kind of rampart that completely blocked external approach.
More precisely, it was a moving curtain.
Because the countless pillars circled around Cheol Ryu-heun using a rotational principle.
Like a whirlwind of dark demonic nature.
It was like another small prison created inside the prison called the formation.
Meanwhile, an execution of sentencing was being conducted.
Cra-cra-crackle, cra-cra-crackle…!
Bodies crushed beyond recognition, shattered into bits, scattering like powder.
The Fourteenth and Sixteenth Great Generals on either side had been annihilated.
By the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars… A demonic art of terror and wonder that displayed the principles of attraction, compression, destruction, and annihilation.
It was tremendous power surpassing even Gun Mu-ak’s.
Having witnessed the deaths of those two, the Thirteenth Great General in front and the Fifteenth Great General at the rear stomped their feet with all their might.
Buuuk… Crack… !
The Thirteenth Great General had his right sleeve torn off, and not only was his wrist bone shattered, but his skin and muscles were also ripped away.
It was because of the strain placed on his body from moving against the pulling force of the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars.
His right hand, dangling as if about to fall off any moment, was in a precarious state.
The sword he’d been holding had already turned to powder inside the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars.
The Fifteenth Great General’s condition was even more wretched.
His left shinbone had shattered and protruded sharply through the flesh, and his left wristbone had similarly jutted out like a tree branch.
“Gyaaak!”
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon Gravity Stars subsided.
Crash crash, crash crash!
The two Great Generals, suddenly lighter, lost their balance and tumbled across the ground.
Cheol Ryu-heun was at leisure.
There was no need to rush.
Since the enemies here had nowhere to flee anyway.
Both the personnel before his eyes now and the personnel outside the Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual’s range would all inevitably face him.
Breaking the formation?
That was only possible if they killed him.
Just then.
Pat!
The Thirteenth Great General turned toward where his group was without looking back.
But he stopped just a few steps later.
Because of the Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual blocking his view.
Large, pitch-black pillars were moving while swapping places with each other in circles.
For the Thirteenth Great General, it was a situation where he couldn’t muster the nerve to break through them.
Suddenly, a scream burst from behind.
“Guhaaak! Pl-please…!”
The startled Thirteenth Great General turned his head.
Then the sight of Cheol Ryu-heun standing on the prone Fifteenth Great General’s back, mercilessly severing his limbs with the swords in both hands, filled his vision.
Following that.
Float.
The Fifteenth Great General, his arms and legs cut off, quietly rose upward.
Cheol Ryu-heun’s object manipulation.
The blood-soaked Fifteenth Great General moved his lips.
That was his final movement.
Chuchuchuchuchuchuchuchuk… !
His body, torn to shreds in mid-air, sprayed blood.
At that moment, the Thirteenth Great General’s thoughts in his mind became paralyzed.
Cheol Ryu-heun’s presence was truly domineering and overwhelming.
Standing here, he did not look like a Righteous faction martial artist.
He was a demon god of darkness who had reached an unfathomable level of martial arts.
Soon, Cheol Ryu-heun’s apathetic voice awakened the Thirteenth Great General’s mind.
“Why did you stop? Not going to keep going?”
At that voice, the Thirteenth Great General regained focus in his eyes and trembled as if struck by lightning.
‘Ugh…! A ruler who dominates… All under heaven…! That bastard will become… A stumbling block for the Society Lord…’
Meanwhile, Cheol Ryu-heun, slowly walking, once again spoke in a flat voice.
“Want me to send you on your way?”
The moment his words ended, a huge rock-shaped Soaring Through Air Controlling Energy instantly formed and slammed into the front of the Thirteenth Great General with a bang!
“Urk!”
The Thirteenth Great General, pushed by the tremendous power, flew backward like a leaf swept by a typhoon.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh, swoosh swoosh swoosh… Popopopong, popopopong… !
He collided continuously with the Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual swirling fiercely around him and futilely departed this world.
Immediately after.
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish…
The rapidly fading Heavenly Demon Grand Sacrifice Ritual soon vanished.
Cheol Ryu-heun expressionlessly tilted the Gan Jiang and Mo Ye Sword downward and let out a powerful telepathic voice.
-Today only, I shall kill you all thoroughly using only frontier demonic arts. So that the investigation team from the main headquarters who visits the Central Heaven Tower later will be floundering in confusion.
Pa Ga-wi and the Great Generals felt engulfed by a sensation like endless hollow darkness wrapping around their bodies.
It was a terrifying illusion created by Cheol Ryu-heun’s presence.
That formless aura was no different from the descent of the demon god who ruled over the Avici Hell.
Just then, Pa Ga-wi shouted.
“Everyone attacks together!”
“Yes!”
Thus, the remaining Great Generals and Eul Sa-jeok charged fiercely.
Pa pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa pa… !
But suddenly, Eul Sa-jeok quickly changed his course.
Tak, ta-tak!
Then, concentrating energy in one hand, he struck someone’s body hard in succession.
The target was none other than the Tenth Great General in front of him.
‘Kuk, what…!’
Having focused all his attention on Cheol Ryu-heun, he was defenseless and thus had his demon acupoint struck by the surprise attack.
Eul Sa-jeok, having pressed close, smiled coldly and whispered.
“Ha, I’ll enjoy my meal.”
Wearing a cold smile, he instantly absorbed all the energy within the Tenth Great General’s body through the power of isolated poison.
