Chapter 491 The Supreme Sword (5)

-Kwaaaaargh!

The Great Strength King writhed in pain, his leg severed.

The Golden Nine-Tailed Fox was genuinely amazed at this sight.

Among the Six Demons, the Great Strength King Ox Demon King possessed the strongest power and physical body.

Although he had been sealed for a long time, even she, who had gained almost the same level of demonic energy over the years, could barely wound his body only when he was off guard. How could Mok Gyeong-un, a human, cut off his leg?

-Goooooo!

The aura flowing from Mok Gyeong-un now was surpassing even herself, one of the Six Demons.

‘…It’s hard to believe even as I’m seeing it.’

It’s said that humans were shaped as imperfect imitations of supreme-rulers.

There shouldn’t be a vessel more imperfect and limited than humans, so how could he exert such power?

-Thud thud!

As Mok Gyeong-un approached Mok Gan, who had become one with the Great Strength King and was writhing in pain from his severed leg, he spoke.

“If you’re the will that needs to control the Six Demons, I suppose you’re the main body, right?”

-Kwaaaaargh.

“You’re being quite dramatic for this being just the beginning.”

-You bastard!

Was Mok Gyeong-un’s sarcastic remark a provocation?

Mok Gan, who had become one with the Great Strength King and was in pain, couldn’t contain his fury and swung his hand covered in lava towards Mok Gyeong-un.

Mok Gyeong-un’s gaze was expressionless as he looked up at the giant hand filled with red and black heat.

-Woong woong woong woong!

The evil sword Evil Commandment Sword, stained black with demonic energy, resonated.

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un’s body soared as he swung his sword upward, and surprisingly, the Great Strength King’s enormous hand was deflected upwards.

-Clang!

The eyes of those watching this scene widened.

If he had blocked it with a formless sword that could be called the extreme of swordsmanship, they might have understood, but to block a giant hand covered in lava with just one sword?

It was a scene that defied common sense, both in terms of weight and the energy flowing out.

‘what the .... is this guy?’

Mok Gan, who had become one with the Great Strength King, was equally surprised.

No matter how quickly he was getting stronger, even if he was an incarnation, he thought it would be absolutely impossible to reach the realm of the Six Demons.

But the power contained in the sword was beyond imagination.

Should he call it heaviness?

Despite being no larger than a dot on his palm, the moment the sword touched his hand, he felt pain as if he had been struck by a hammer larger than his palm.

In that instant, Mok Gan’s three eyes, flowing with red light, wavered.

‘Could it be?’

Along with a strong sense of humiliation, anger surged.

Although it was a leg without any defense, he had cut off the leg of the Great Strength King, who was called the strongest among the Six Demons in terms of strength and physical body.

Even though he had covered his palm with lava, that sword of his might have inflicted a wound in some way.

‘Did he deliberately not cut?’

To show him the difference in class?

If that was the case, it was truly nothing but humiliating.

How many long years had he spent trying to obtain the Great Strength King?

Having seen countless beings, he was certain that once he obtained this body, there would be no more beings to fear.

Even if it was the Golden Heavenly King, his creator.

But,

‘Why! Why is this happening?’

How could it be possible that the incarnation, who had lost the core that could be called the source of power for the demon clan and became human, losing all his power, was surpassing his own strength?

If he had trained for thousands of years, no, even hundreds of years, it would be understandable.

It hasn’t even been twenty years since he became human.

‘Is it not a matter of the vessel?’

-Grr! Grr!

The blood vessels around Mok Gan’s eyes on the Great Strength King’s forehead bulged and protruded.

He had thought that since he originally didn’t have his own physical body to be a source, everything stemmed from the capacity of the physical body that became the vessel.

That’s why he had been so focused on obtaining the best physical body.

But…

‘…Is it not the physical body? Is that not it?’

For a moment, Mok Gan fell into confusion.

And that brought him a fatal opening.

-Crack!

‘!?’

Mok Gan’s third eye began to protrude from the Great Strength King’s forehead.

‘Oh no!’

The panicked Mok Gan tried to burrow back into the forehead.

However, once the eyeball had popped out, it couldn’t easily burrow back into the Great Strength King’s flesh, and instead, the blood vessels that had been attached were gradually breaking off.

-Pop! Pop!

‘No! I can’t control it.’

There was something he had overlooked.

Although he had changed bodies countless times until now, most of them were humans or beasts.

The times he had become one with evil spirits were few and far between, and even those mostly failed due to being in an incomplete state.

That’s why he had sought to obtain the forbidden technique of the Wicked Granny.

Although evil spirits were said to be different from the human soul structure, he had succeeded in becoming one by replacing that role with the forbidden technique.

But this body he had occupied was not an ordinary evil spirit.

Born from the distortion of the earth, it was a being infinitely close to a supreme beast that had existed since ancient times.

No matter how weakened its mind had become due to the seal, it was impossible for such a being to be completely swallowed up by Mok Gan’s will.

‘No! Noooooo!’

-Kwaaaaargh!

-Rip!

With a roar, the blood vessels attached to the Great Strength King’s forehead were completely torn off.

The forcibly protruded eyeball reflected someone’s figure.

That figure was Mok Gyeong-un.

‘shit!’

“Go.”

Mok Gyeong-un was about to swing his sword in a straight line towards this eyeball.

Looking at the eye filled with fear as it sensed its impending death, Mok Gyeong-un momentarily recalled his deceased grandfather.

‘This is entirely for you.’

Although he initially said it was for the incarnation, later he truly raised him like his own child.

Thanks to that warmth, he was able to establish the foundation of his emotions.

He was angry for him and now sought revenge for him.

-Swoosh!

It was at that moment when Mok Gyeong-un’s sword was about to cut Mok Gan’s eyeball.

-Flinch!

-Boom!

Mok Gyeong-un’s body, about to swing the sword, fell straight down due to an enormous pressure.

It wasn’t just Mok Gyeong-un.

-Whoosh!

Mok Gan’s eyeball also fell downwards due to the pressure, and the Great Strength King’s head plummeted towards the ground.

-Boom!

As the Great Strength King’s head, no, his entire body fell to the ground, fragments of the destroyed earth and dust erupted in all directions with a thunderous sound.

-Kwaaaaargh!

-Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The Great Strength King roared and tried to raise his body, but it was futile.

Every time he tried to rise, he only burrowed deeper into the ground due to the tremendous gravity, and gradually, his robust body was being crushed by the pressure.

The Great Strength King wasn’t the only one experiencing this phenomenon.

Mok Gyeong-un’s body continued to burrow into the ground.

‘…Amazing!’

Having regained all his memories, Mok Gyeong-un realized where this power was originating from.

Above the ground where gravity continued to increase, there was a being fluttering golden wings – it was the Golden Heavenly King.

The ornate sword held by the Golden Heavenly King was emitting a bright radiance, and the surrounding space was gradually rippling.

-Woong woong woong woong!

From within the rippling space, the Golden Heavenly King spoke with a voice filled with ecstasy.

-Yes. That’s right. There’s no way you could have completely lost your power. Demon King.

He was certain that Mok Gyeong-un’s demonic energy was the power of the demon clan.

That’s why he believed he could draw out this much power with a body no different from that of an insignificant insect.

Now that I know you’ve regained this much power, even if it’s not your prime, this is no longer a game.

I’ll crush you to death with gravity right here.

-Woong woong woong woong!

As more radiance flowed from the sword, the surrounding space became even more distorted.

The rumbling sound from the ground gradually diminished.

At this, the corners of the Golden Heavenly King’s mouth turned upward.

‘Having lost your supreme weapons to a former limb, you can never be a match for me.’

If the Heavenly King had the Five Great Divine Artifacts, the Demon King had Seven Divine Weapons.

Among them, the armor could withstand even supernatural abilities, so gravity wouldn’t directly affect it, but now the situation was different.

He could crush and kill him with gravity like this…

-Boom!

Someone flew up into the sky, breaking through the ground about fifty jang away.

It was Mok Gyeong-un.

-Ho. You used a clever trick.

Did he escape the range of gravity?

The Golden Heavenly King, having located Mok Gyeong-un’s position, swung the Sword of Aden towards him.

-Swoosh!

Then,

-Woong woong woong woong!

The space where Mok Gyeong-un was rippled, and

-Whoosh!

Mok Gyeong-un’s body soared straight upwards.

The gravity had completely reversed.

At this, Mok Gyeong-un kicked off the air in the opposite direction while executing the Thousand-Jin Hammer technique and stretched his index finger towards the Golden Heavenly King.

Then,

-Woong woong woong woong!

At that moment, the space around the Golden Heavenly King seemed to compress, converging into a single point as if his body was being sucked into the center.

‘This is?’

This was the Eight Thought-Shattering Techniques’s Void Suppression technique.

It was a method that instantly compressed a space of about four jang in the desired direction.

“Hmph!”

At this, the Golden Heavenly King didn’t panic at all and raised the Sword of Aden upwards.

-Woong woong woong woong!

As radiance flowed from the sword, the space that was about to be compressed by the marvelous principle of the Eight Formulas was forcibly expanded by gravity.

-Don’t tell me you can manipulate gravi-

-Clang!

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un’s sword, having closed the distance in an instant, clashed with the Sword of Aden.

As the swords collided, an enormous boom echoed, and a storm-like wind pressure swept through, causing the entire space to ripple and shake.

The Golden Heavenly King’s gaze became quite serious as their swords met.

‘This sword… what is it?’

This was because the Sword of Aden itself was a gravity field, so no ordinary sword should be able to withstand it, yet this black-stained sword was holding its ground.

Although he could sense a demonic nature from the sword, it was only at an ordinary level.

And the power he had thought was similar to the energy of the demon clan, he realized upon clashing that it was clearly different.

Does that mean this power is pure capability?

-what the .... have you done?

The Golden Heavenly King was genuinely puzzled.

He had lost his core and become human, and even those proud supreme weapons were gone.

So what was this power?

Then the Golden Heavenly King’s eyes met Mok Gyeong-un’s.

-Flinch!

They say a strong will is directly conveyed?

In Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes, there was only murderous intent to cut him down.

It was so persistent and intense that for a moment, the Golden Heavenly King felt a chill run down his spine for the first time.

‘Could it be?’

To him, Mok Gyeong-un spoke in a low voice.

“So you were the root of all evil?”
