Chapter 492 The Supreme Sword (6)

-Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The Six Demon Great Strength King continued to be driven into the ground by gravity.

The strength with which he tried to escape and the ever-increasing gravity caused even his robust body to begin to crumple.

-Kwaaaaargh!

It was at that moment when he was about to face the worst crisis due to the crushing force.

‘!?’

The gravity suddenly disappeared.

As the pressure from the gravity vanished, the Great Strength King’s body, which had been crumpling and bleeding from various places, began to recover at a rapid pace.

The recovery wasn’t limited to his physical body.

-Crack!

Cracks appeared on the red jade staff that had fallen not far away.

As the cracks widened, the red light gradually faded, and the red glow in the Great Strength King’s eyes slowly changed to a vermilion hue.

-Whoosh!

Along with the changing glow, various memories flashed through the Great Strength King’s mind like a kaleidoscope.

As these filled his mind, the Great Strength King’s eyes blazed like flames.

‘How dare you!’

To think that something so insignificant would burrow into his mind, weakened from being sealed!

Since ancient times, he had fought numerous formidable opponents including the Three Pure Ones’ immortals, renowned sages, the stone monkey born from a jade stone concentrating the energy of heaven and earth, and the nine-tailed fox that toyed with the world, but this was the first time he had experienced such humiliation.

‘A mere parasitic evil spirit that can only survive by borrowing the body of another being dares to toy with me, the Great Sage.’

It was unforgivable.

The fact that such an insignificant being tried to control him made the Great Strength King’s anger rise to the top of his head.

-Boom!

The Great Strength King stretched his hand upwards and pulled at the ground.

As his massive body soared upwards, the Great Strength King’s body began to shrink gradually.

His shrinking body changed to almost human size.

-Whoosh!

While it seemed to become completely human in form, his head remained no different from when he was gigantic.

It still retained the shape of an ox.

The only difference was that he was now wearing imperial robes that an emperor might wear, giving him an air of majesty, and his robust appearance exuded an incredible pressure.

If there was a flaw in this robustness, it was that one of his horns had been cut off and his eye was also damaged.

“shit!”

The Great Strength King’s expression twisted terribly as he touched his unrecovered cut horn and eye.

Although it was thanks to being controlled by that Mok Gan fellow, it was extremely unpleasant.

Was it that fox bitch who did this to his horn and eye?

The fox’s ominous demonic energy was hindering the recovery of his body.

He wondered how many countries she had destroyed and how much human fear and terror she had absorbed during his sealed state to increase her demonic energy to this extent.

In terms of demonic energy alone, she had even surpassed his prime self.

‘This is infuriating.’

It’s not even that stone monkey anymore, now even a fox dares to challenge his dominance?

Now that he’s freed from the seal, he might as well clear them all out.

First, it’s that guy.

The one who occupied his body…

-Flinch!

At that moment, the Great Strength King furrowed his brow.

What is this? These tremendous energies felt from above?

-Whoosh!

When he was buried deep underground due to gravity, he didn’t notice, but as he rose higher, he could clearly sense extraordinary energies beyond imagination.

One felt alien, as if it didn’t belong to this world, and the other was even more peculiar.

As the Great Strength King reached the surface, his eyes caught two beings floating in the air.

‘What are those?’

-Throb!

At that moment, memories of being controlled flashed through the Great Strength King’s mind.

As he recalled these memories, the Great Strength King’s gaze became serious.

What is happened are those things?

Although they had human forms, both of them were emitting an immeasurable aura as if they had returned to ancient times.

Instinctively, the Great Strength King felt that those two were extremely dangerous.

‘…I shouldn’t deal with that parasitic eye first.’

Those were more dangerous.

It would be difficult enough to face one of them, but if both were to join forces, it would be quite troublesome.

-Swoosh!

As the Great Strength King extended his hand, something emerged from his ear.

-Whoosh!

Then it instantly grew larger, transforming into a huge fan in the shape of a plantain leaf with gold and red patterns.

-Tap!

‘Spirit Demon Great Treasure Plantain Leaf Fan.’

Among the ancient spirit beasts that were infinitely close to the realm of supreme beasts, there were a few who had reached the level of demon immortals and possessed supreme artifacts called Great Treasures.

One of them was the Great Strength King himself, and this Spirit Demon Great Treasure amplified his demonic energy and possessed supreme power to control storms and lava.

‘This is the only chance.’

If he could seize the moment when those two were preoccupied with confronting each other, he might be able to annihilate them with the Lava Great Storm created by the Plantain Leaf Fan.

Just as the Great Strength King was about to raise his demonic energy in the Plantain Leaf Fan,

“Hey, cow.”

“What?”

The Great Strength King instinctively turned his head at the familiar voice.

At that very moment, a dazzling five-colored light struck his one remaining eye, and as he furrowed his brow, his body rapidly began to stiffen.

‘This is?’

The Great Strength King couldn’t hide his bewilderment.

His body was gradually stiffening due to petrification.

Thanks to his ancient memories, he could instantly recognize what was causing this.

‘Spirit Demon Great Treasure Fox Spirit Bead!’

-Whoosh!

The Great Strength King hurriedly tried to turn his body and swing the Plantain Leaf Fan towards the five-colored light.

However, due to the tremendous demonic energy emitted from the five-colored light, the petrification accelerated, and in an instant, 80% of his body, except for his head, turned to stone.

-Crack crack crack crack!

“You damn fox bitch!”

“Cool your head for another few thousand years.”

“You think you can do this to me, the Heaven-Leveling Great Sage Ox Demon King……”

-Crack crack crack crack!

Before he could finish his words, the Great Strength King completely turned to stone.

As the five-colored light gradually diminished, a golden-haired beauty of unparalleled looks appeared, holding a dazzling bead the size of a fist in both hands.

She was the Hundred-Faced King Golden Nine-Tailed Fox.

“Haa… Haa…”

The Golden Nine-Tailed Fox, exhaling rough breaths from exhaustion, approached the petrified Great Strength King and placed the bead against his forehead.

-Click! Rumble rumble rumble!

The bead burrowed into the Great Strength King’s forehead and became embedded there.

The completely embedded bead no longer shone and changed its texture to that of a rough stone.

Looking at this, the Golden Nine-Tailed Fox clicked her tongue.

“This doesn’t seem profitable at all.”

She didn’t expect to use the fox bead containing demonic energy accumulated over thousands of years to seal the Great Strength King.

If her demonic energy hadn’t been superior to the Great Strength King’s due to his seal, even this would have been difficult.

The loss is not small.

It will take that much time to generate a new fox bead.

-Tap tap!

The Golden Nine-Tailed Fox lightly tapped the petrified Great Strength King with her finger, her lips twitching.

Her finger touching the stone was rippling with purple poison energy.

The fox bead is a symbol of transformation.

Originally used for self-protection, it gains petrification and poison energy.

That’s why something turned to stone by a fox bead is also called a killing stone.

A killing stone created with this level of demonic energy would be untouchable by anyone for thousands of years.

-Thud!

Having exhausted all her demonic energy, she slumped to the ground.

Then, looking up at Mok Gyeong-un and the Golden Heavenly King floating in the sky, she muttered.

“I’ve done all I can. It’s up to you now, Heavenly Demon.”

***

“So you were the root of all evil?”

A chilling intent emanating from strong killing intent.

It was an emotion that couldn’t be felt from the past Demon King.

This was clearly anger.

The being who had been full of emptiness throughout their countless years of confrontation was now showing intense hostility.

The corners of the Golden Heavenly King’s mouth, who had felt a chill down his spine from Mok Gyeong-un’s anger filled with killing intent directed at him, slowly began to spread.

-Grin!

And his mouth split open wide enough to reach his ears.

With an expression that was nothing short of chilling, the Golden Heavenly King, his face filled with ecstasy, said to Mok Gyeong-un.

-You’ve only realized it now?

-Whoosh!

At those words from the Golden Heavenly King, Mok Gyeong-un’s killing intent grew explosively.

The Golden Heavenly King didn’t hide his joy at this sight.

He didn’t stop there, but provoked further.

-It’s truly delightful to see you, who once had your toes stepped on by a subordinate because of a mere human woman, fall to the human realm, become human yourself while trembling in fear trying to escape my gaze.

-Clang!

At that moment, the sword that had been pressed against each other was deflected by the tremendous power that surged along with the killing intent.

Mok Gyeong-un, who had deflected the Sword of Aden, stabbed at his chest.

The evil sword Evil Commandment Sword piercing through his chest.

However,

-Stab!

The blade of the evil sword Evil Commandment Sword protruded from none other than Mok Gyeong-un’s back.

As if he had suffered a penetrating wound, the clothes around Mok Gyeong-un’s chest were stained with red blood.

Blood even flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Mok Gyeong-un in this state, the Golden Heavenly King raised the corner of his mouth in a sneer and mocked.

-Ah. I suppose you couldn’t see it because I was wearing the holy garment.

With those words, the Golden Heavenly King tore off the upper garment he was wearing.

This revealed a sacred-looking silver armor with intricate patterns engraved on the chest.

The surface of the armor was so smooth that it reflected everything around it.

To this, Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth slightly.

“Mirror Surface.”

-Ho. Even as a human, you haven’t forgotten. The other name of this Armor of Aden.

Each of the five supreme artifacts of Aden possessed by the Golden Heavenly King had its own supreme power.

Among them, the Armor of Aden was also called the Mirror Surface Armor, and it had the supreme power to completely reflect all attacks back to the opponent.

-Grab!

The Golden Heavenly King grabbed Mok Gyeong-un’s shoulder and said.

-How foolish. Why did you become human? Your face is already turning pale just from having your chest pierced. How stupid to willingly choose such a weak body that even struggles to breathe. Truly foolish.

-Crunch!

As the Golden Heavenly King’s grip gradually tightened, his fingers dug into Mok Gyeong-un’s shoulder.

“Wouldn’t it have been better to stay hidden? To think you could oppose me with just power derived from will alone, without your core or supreme artifacts…”

-Tap!

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un’s palm touched the Golden Heavenly King’s armor.

Seeing this, the Golden Heavenly King sneered.

-What do you think you can do? Spitting towards the sky will only dirty your own face. You…”

Before those words could finish,

-Boom!

-Kugh!

The Golden Heavenly King’s chest bent backwards, and blood spurted from his mouth.

The Golden Heavenly King’s eyes filled with incomprehension at the strange pain penetrating his body.

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

“Penetrating Force.”

-What?

Penetrating Force.

It’s a type of force emission that directly raises force inside rather than on the surface.

Because of this, the Golden Heavenly King couldn’t help but be bewildered by the force that had penetrated the Mirror Surface.

‘The armor doesn’t work?’

-Swoosh!

At that moment, as Mok Gyeong-un reached out his hand again, the Golden Heavenly King tried to create distance by flapping his wings.

Although he didn’t know exactly what technique it was, if the Mirror Surface, the supreme power of the armor, didn’t work, he had to avoid direct contact.

But something huge blocked his path behind him.

It was,

-Woong woong woong woong!

A massive formless sword about thirty jang long.

‘This is?’

But there wasn’t just one formless sword.

Suddenly, enormous formless swords appeared in every direction the Golden Heavenly King looked, creating a wall as if to surround him and prevent his escape.
