Episode 94 – Just One Moment

A sword strike that sweeps across all directions.

At the center of it all stood Cheongun.

During the time that Dang So-hyang gave him, Cheong-un was finally able to completely subdue the evil spirits and spirit light.

So originally, the condensed evil energy should have burst out and tore all life apart······.

······It’s late.

It was faster for Cheongun’s sword to tear through the evil energy than for the evil energy of the Blood Heavenly Goddess gathered in one spot to explode.

No, it was more powerful.

The eyes of the Blood Goddess no longer contained any emotion of leisure.

Cheongun’s body moved, leaving behind a long afterimage. Cheongun’s speed, as if leaping through space itself, dazzled the vision and senses of the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

“asleep!!!”

As the strength met strength, bang! Light shot out in all directions. Every time the light shot out, the evil energy of the Blood Heavenly Goddess that had been trapped in her fingertips was dissipated.

······The power of Cheongun that I encountered directly was an imagination.

But there is enough evil spirit.

The life force and energy that had been sucked out of millions of people was still abundant, and the plague that had spread throughout Guizhou was still going strong.

“How dare you!!”

A yellowish evil energy formed in both hands of the Blood Heavenly Goddess. Cheongun’s sword flew in without missing a single moment. However, the speed was too fast. Now, Cheongun’s movements, which left no afterimages, could not be followed by human eyes.

So, you shouldn’t fight as a human.

Kiiing-!

The blood goddess’ red magic eye glowed. She opened her magic eye and barely managed to keep up with Cheongun’s movements.

The evil energy of the Blood Heavenly Goddess in both hands suddenly split into dozens of branches. Then it split into hundreds and thousands of branches and poured out towards Cheongwoon.

Kwakwakwakwang! The sound of explosions from the successive blasts of magical power swept through the entire area. However, Cheongun was reacting to all of it.

Thousands of magical powers filled the space. He recognized them one by one. Thus, the Blue Cloud Sword and the herbal medicines naturally connected, and it also happened in an instant.

······It is truly an amazing sense and reflex. The body’s usability far surpasses that of a human.

‘What the heck is this······.’

The Blood Heavenly Goddess was naturally crushed by Cheongun. She hesitated and took a step back without realizing it. Cheongun, not missing the opportunity, flashed! She rushed forward, flashing red light.

A sword of blue clouds swoops down with a thunderous sound.

A plain, monotonous stabbing without any flashiness.

however······.

Kwaaaaang! The Blood Heavenly Goddess’s evil aura was torn apart in an instant. The shock shook her entire body, causing blood to flow out from between her lips.

Kwa, kwa, kwakwang!

The explosions were heard in a crackling, crackling manner. The strong energy and the evil energy. It was the result of two forces that could not be fathomed by human intelligence and understanding colliding.

And then, suddenly, with a loud bang, a terrible explosion occurred.

An unknown force pressed down on the Blood Heavenly Goddess. A cracking sound was heard. It was the sound of the joints in her shoulder cracking.

“Kkaaaaaaah!!”

Screams and shouts burst out of the mouth of the Blood Heavenly Goddess. Her emotions were burning, and her evil spirits were burning. The Blood Heavenly Goddess no longer felt any feelings like joy. There was even less pleasure.

Pleasure turned to irritation, and pleasure turned to anger, which only burned.

“Die! Die!! Die!!!”

The yellow-colored demonic energy became demonic power and spread out like waves. It was at this time that the blue cloud sword swung from left to right, splitting the waves of demonic power.

Taeeulseon martial arts sword.

My second invitation.

A sword of the heavenly weight.

There was an explosion that went, “Ppeuuuung!” The demonic powers disappeared. The Blood Heavenly Goddess’s eyes simultaneously showed emotions of shock and amazement.

‘That’s ridiculous!!’

······This was nonsense, nonsense.

No, it was weird.

Just now, Cheongun didn’t use any particular internal energy.

However, the evil spirit of the Blood Heavenly Goddess was being torn away like a piece of paper.

‘Oh, how···! How on earth······!’

Kwak! Once again, the space shook violently as power clashed with power. And then again······. The Blood Heavenly Goddess’s evil aura was instantly torn apart by Cheongun’s sword.

‘That sword!’

Only then was the Blood Heavenly Goddess able to confirm the sword that Cheongun was using.

The evil aura of the Blood Heavenly Goddess was unable to keep up in front of that plain, unadorned sword.

A sword that is even more sinister than the evil spirit possessed by the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

Cheongwoon jumped in beyond the torn demonic energy like a piece of paper. Whoosh! Flames rose and filled Cheongwoon’s sword.

It was not a very strong flame, but it was so fierce that it seemed as if it would burn anything it touched.

······I couldn’t hold out any longer.

The realm of the sorcerer known as the Blood Heavenly Goddess, and the space of her magic, was unable to withstand the power of Cheongun and the flames contained in her sword, and was collapsing into ashes.

Kookookookookung!

And so the cave slowly begins to collapse.

A thought suddenly pops into the Blood Goddess’s head.

······Can we really beat Cheongwoon?

No, it’s not.

This fight wasn’t a matter of winning or losing.

······Will I be able to survive Cheongun?

Hurrruk!

This fight was a matter of ‘survival’ from the beginning.

* * *

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The sharp scream of the Blood Goddess, sharp as a snake.

All of the demonic powers were released from the Blood Heavenly Goddess at once.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

“Eww!!”

The believers who had been following the Blood Heavenly Goddess suddenly let out a terrible scream. They clutched their heads with both hands and fell to their knees in agony, unable to bear the pain.

For a moment, I wondered what was going on.

Pfft!

The bodies of the believers, who were suffering in pain, burst like rubber balls. One after another, they burst, spraying blood and flesh in all directions.

A spell that is activated by this.

“This, this is···!”

Tang So-hyang’s eyes opened wide in shock.

The term “surgery” generally refers to the use of specific powers to cause certain phenomena.

Thus, the magic technique used by Dang So-hyang utilized the power of poison, and was able to use the properties of poison, such as suppression, destruction, and release, of poison.

In other words, depending on what kind of ‘force’ is used, the ‘phenomena’ that can be caused by the spell also change.

And the Blood Heavenly Goddess uses the power of evil spirits that goes against the laws of nature.

Kuguguguguguguguguguung······!!

It was a sorcery that shook the laws of nature and providence, and it was a wicked power that even reversed the laws of sorcery······.

Kwaaaaang!!

An explosion as if the world was collapsing erupted. The ground of the cavern split open and collapsed, and the shattered ground rose up, creating a large hole in the ceiling.

“Godmother!! This way!!”

Dang So-hyang hurriedly followed the warriors of the knight group and fled.

As I barely managed to escape with the children, the space created by the spell completely exploded.

······The scenery outside was already a mess.

The largest waterfall in the world, the Huangguoshu Waterfalls, were surging and flooding in all directions. The water from the waterfalls shot up into the sky, and the water that had risen fell back down to the ground.

Swaaaah-!

A magnificent sight unfolded, as if rain was pouring down from the sky.

The thick spray of water sparkled in the sunlight, forming a beautiful rainbow.

And then, before they knew it, Cheongun and Hyeolcheonsinnyeo had escaped and were facing each other across the rainbow.

Kwarrrrrrrrrr···!

When the Blood Heavenly Goddess stretched out her palm, a yellowish evil aura burst out and light flashed.

The power of the demonic energy that had gathered together like that was instantly sucked into the body of the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

Dang So-hyang could immediately tell that it was the life force and energy of the believers who had burst like rubber balls earlier.

Cheongun took off the mask that was covering his face. Cheongun’s hardened eyes and expression turned towards the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

“Even if their faith was wrong, they were the ones who believed in you and followed you. So is this the reward for their faith?

“shut up!!”

The face of the Blood Goddess was distorted like an evil spirit.

“The main woman is a god! Those who believe in the main woman should show their faith by sacrificing their lives! What do you, a mere human, know about this!!”

“No. God never forces belief.”

Cheongun rebuked him firmly.

As if he knew all too well the existence of God, Cheongwoon did not hesitate even an inch.

“It has always been people who impose blind faith, not God.”

So Cheongun was speaking.

“You are not God.”

The Blood Heavenly Goddess is nothing more than a wicked being who uses the name of God to exercise her power and uses chaos to fulfill her selfish desires.

People felt empty and had nowhere to lean on, so they filled their empty hearts by relying on false gods.

Thus, he is a being that is revered as a god in the Demonic Cult.

Cheonma (Heavenly Demon) is no different, Cheongun said.

“Ahahahahahahahaha!!”

Then the Blood Heavenly Goddess laughed like a madman. Just listening to her laughter made me feel like I was going crazy.

“Yeah, your father said the same thing to you!”

Cheong-un’s movements stopped and froze. Cheong-un’s two eyes, which had opened in surprise, shook greatly. The Blood Heavenly Goddess continued to speak as if mocking Cheong-un.

“I dared to disobey His will without even knowing the subject! That’s why I am here, but what happened to your father? What were the final words of your father who disobeyed the will of God!!!”

The red demonic eyes of the Blood Heavenly Goddess flashed. Light shone and space was torn apart. Beyond the torn space, evil energy and evil power overflowed.

The emotions of the Blood Heavenly Goddess are heightened and burning. As the Crown Prince’s soul is released, her power rises to the sky and begins to gather and unite.

The body of the Blood Goddess gradually rose into the sky.

Soon, boiling power began to rise from all directions and gather towards the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

A plague that has spread throughout Guizhou Province. And a plague that has not yet been cured.

The Blood Heavenly Goddess was now······sucking the life force and energy from millions of people.

The overflowing demonic power dyed the sky a bright yellow. The world of illusions unfolded and all space was filled with demonic energy.

At that moment.

The blue cloud sword, holding a blazing flame, split the space of the fantasy world.

Kwaaaaang!!

A wall burst out as if the sky was going to break apart. However, the space of the illusionary world was intact.

“Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

In the center of it all, the Blood Heavenly Goddess was laughing wildly. This space of the fantasy world filled with evil spirits and powers was not shaken by any shock.

The evil energy that the Blood Heavenly Goddess is currently sucking from the plague patients.

It was an ‘incomprehensible’ amount that far surpassed human intelligence.

So, the second rule that must be followed when dealing with a sorcerer.

Don’t give the sorcerer your time.

As time passed, the Blood Heavenly Goddess absorbed the power of the plague that spread throughout Guizhou Province, and gained stronger demonic energy and power.

However, even a Blood Heavenly Goddess cannot handle that level of power.

Even if it was an evil spirit that went against the laws of nature, the Blood Heavenly Goddess who used that power was still a ‘human.’

Although they may wield inhuman powers, their existence is ultimately fixed as human.

however······..

All the negative emotions that make up the world boil over in a lump. The burning emotions instantly burn the mind and heart, turning them into ashes, and robbing the Blood Heavenly Goddess of her human existence.

“Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

······She was no longer the Blood Goddess.

She was neither human nor a goddess.

It wasn’t a monster, a witch, or anything else.

That is something monstrous and against providence.

Something powerful that destroys providence.

It was something chaotic that could not be judged by providence.

Something mystical that cannot be interpreted by providence.

A monster with monstrous strength and chaos.

“What the heck is that···.”

“Wow, that’s ridiculous…”

The faces of everyone, including Dang So-hyang, turned pale.

* * *

A blood goddess floating in the sky as if walking in space.

Kwaaaa …

The evil spirits of the plague that had spread throughout the city of Guizhou were sucked into the blood goddess, dyeing the sky a bright yellow and forming a space of the underworld.

······It was an incredible force that made my skin tingle.

Even my internal energy, which spanned thirty years, was nothing compared to that power.

So there was no way to counter that power, but with the Cheon-dun Sword Technique’s Annihilation Fire Dragon Slash… it was definitely possible.

The Blood Heavenly Goddess was able to cut through the space of the world of illusion and burn away all the evil energy of the plague that had encroached upon the heavens.

That’s why I couldn’t use the Extermination Fire Dragon Slash.

The evil energy of the plague that was now condensing on the Blood Heavenly Goddess was the ‘life force and energy’ that was being sucked from the plague patients spread throughout Guizhou Province.

The Extermination Fire Dragon Slash was an overwhelming force that burned all things, but it did not discriminate between targets.

Not only does it burn the Blood Heavenly Goddess, but it also burns the life force and energy of people.

If you use the Extermination Fire Dragon Slash in the current situation… the life force and energy of millions of people infected with the plague will be burned away.

Thus, millions of people throughout Guizhou Province are sacrificed.

I had to target only one person, the Blood Heavenly Goddess. I had to cut through the ridiculous power of the underworld and eliminate only the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

But that······was impossible.

So there was absolutely no way to overcome the situation······

‘Can you do it?’

I calmly closed my eyes. Of the five senses, sight was completely blocked, and the other senses became more and more acute.

As I concentrated, Yeo Dong-bin’s teachings flashed through my mind like an auditory hallucination.

-Youngest, the world you usually spend time in is one.

The world of time, Il (一), where all things in the universe are clearly perceived.

This time of one (一) is divided into ten pieces to become the time of ‘hal (割)’, which is again divided into ten pieces to become the time of ‘pun (分)’, which is again divided into ten pieces to become the time of ‘ri (厘)’.

Li (厘) is again divided into ten pieces: Mo (毛), Sa (絲), Hol (忽), Mi (微), Seom (纖), Sa (沙), Jin (塵), Ae (埃), Myo (渺), Mak (漠), and Moho (糊).

An ‘ambiguous’ time that cannot be interpreted even by the laws of nature.

That time will be divided into ten parts again to become ‘Junsun (浚巡)’, then again into a hundred parts to become ‘Suyu (須臾)’, and finally into a thousand parts to reach the ultimate time.

Moment.

-The ultimate thrust of the Cheon-dun Sword Technique is contained within this ‘moment’.

Yeo Dong-bin said that everything had to be captured in ‘one moment’.

‘Can you do it?’

······I’m not sure.

No, probably not.

But I won’t hesitate.

When I opened my closed eyes, the myriad things of nature became clearly recognized through the sharp sense of energy.

The warm sunlight pouring down. The wind brushing past my ears.

The smell of thick mist. Water droplets soaking your skin.

It felt like it was flowing within a single moment.

I tried to maximize that feeling, that excitement.

Okay then.

All phenomena flow slowly.

Everything in the world slows down and slows down again. Even sound is caught in the air and cannot be heard. In the fragmented time where even existence cannot be clearly recognized, even my existence is becoming blurred.

······You have to hold on.

Hwaruk, hwarurururuk!!

A hot flame shot up through my entire body. I squeezed the energy in my danjeon and split the realm of time again and again.

And so, all things in the universe come to a standstill. A still space-time where nothing moves. However, this is a world of high-speed movement heading towards the ‘moment’.

My optic nerves were burning from the passing visual information. My head couldn’t handle the onslaught of cognitive information.

A world of perception not permitted to humans. All the information felt by the five senses was rushing in in a short moment, destroying everything about me.

‘Eeeeeeeeeeek···!!’

My head, my heart, and my whole body felt like they were going to explode.

Still.

It doesn’t stop.

To go beyond class means to go beyond limitations.

I must go beyond the limits of cognition and reach the realm of the moment. There, I must explode everything I have in one breath.

Like a thunderbolt that pierces the sky!

* * *

······Something is strange.

The Blood Heavenly Goddess couldn’t hide her strangeness at the thought that suddenly came to her mind.

Absurd thoughts kept popping into my head. I tried to deny them vehemently, but they still wouldn’t come out easily.

The obvious fear of imposing death······continued to invade the mind of the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

But it didn’t make sense. The power that the Blood Heavenly Goddess now possessed was like that of a god. In this natural world, there was only ‘one’ being that could make the Blood Heavenly Goddess feel ‘fear’.

But why······?

Suddenly.

The whole body of the Blood Heavenly Goddess trembled like an aspen tree.

I don’t know why······. This power I feel right now······. No, is it the right power?

If it was a divine premonition, then it could be called a premonition. The fear that the Blood Heavenly Priestess suddenly felt was gnawing at her senses and urging her to die.

It was just then.

“You, you······?”

A man appears in front of the Blood Heavenly Goddess. Suddenly, he slowly walks towards the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

“You’re dead······. But you, you······ how on earth did you······?”

As he approached closer and closer, the Blood Heavenly Goddess could not control her trembling body. Not even a single thought came to mind.

He slowly approached and soon found himself standing in front of the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

He was looking down at the Blood Goddess with indifferent eyes.

Although she was defenseless, the Blood Heavenly Goddess’s entire body was frozen and she couldn’t do anything.

Soon his gaze turned to the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

-Although I couldn’t stop you······.

His voice, like an auditory hallucination, was heard. At the same time, his figure disappeared like an illusion.

But why is that?

A human who resembles him so much stands before the eyes of the Blood Goddess once again.

Clearly, he was a hallucination that had died and disappeared, but the man now before the eyes of the Blood Heavenly Goddess was not an hallucination but a ‘reality’.

That’s why ‘the one in front of my eyes’ was different from ‘the one in my hallucination’.

He was holding his sword tightly with both hands.

He lowered his posture as much as possible.

He slowly raised his sword.

He slowly straightened his sword forward.

So the tip of his sword was pointed at the Blood Heavenly Goddess······.

“Cheondungeonbeop (天遁劍法).”

The end of the false god is declared.

Hurrruk!!

His whole body was blazing with flames. However, they were not very big. The flames were like tiny lanterns, so small and shabby that they seemed like they would be extinguished at any moment by the waterfall of the Yellow Waterfall.

But inside that tiny flame is a giant fire dragon.

The fire dragon, curled up inside a small flame, should be called a ‘flame dragon’ with its energy condensed and burning.

The crouching flame dragon was ferocious and also mad.

The two eyes of a fiercely burning flame dragon.

It was at that time that the blazing fire eyes of the Flame Dragon flashed toward the Blood Heavenly Goddess.

Wavelength-!

The space of the underworld was torn apart.

The demonic energy and demonic powers that flooded the space of the underworld were like dogs that had lost their owner and were swaying around without a trace.

The sky that had been dyed bright yellow had at some point regained its blue color. The seven emotions of the Blood Heavenly Goddess that had been burning with excitement also ceased to exist at some point.

The overflowing evil powers were no longer to be found. The evil energy of the Blood Heavenly Goddess who had been rejecting providence was also dissipating and disappearing.

They were simply returned to their proper place, following the course of nature.

However, it was unclear what, who, and how made this phenomenon possible.

The roar of a giant flame dragon that pierces the sky.

It was done in a split second······.

It was a ‘single moment’ in which no cognitive process was permitted.

Heavenly Sword Technique.

My second invitation.

Heavenly Killing Dragon Chung (天滅炎龍衝).
