Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 918

918====================

True empty hometown

In response to Yeong-gwi’s words, the Emperor remained silent for a while and then said.

[Good. I will sacrifice you and make you the wedge of this world!]

Whack

When the Emperor reached out, the spirit’s neck was grabbed fiercely, and the spirit’s body seemed to relax with a look of enlightenment. Finally, the Emperor used his strength to pull out the spirit’s neck, and a fountain of blood gushed out. And even as the blood gushed out, the Emperor calmly pulled out the spirit’s four legs one by one, and finally forcibly ripped off his shell.

Pukwasuk

The salt demon, who had the blood-dripping carapace underneath, crushed the spirit’s head and four legs, and the spirit’s corpse transformed into a giant cauldron. The salt demon reached out and concentrated his will, and after a while, a huge pillar of flames burst into flames.

Hooooooo –

The ghost’s miserable corpse was instantly engulfed in a huge flame and turned to ashes. At first glance, it was a horrifying sight, but at the same time, I could see that a huge grain of power was gathering and being absorbed by the Flame Emperor.

‘That’s?’

I didn’t really know what those grains were, but after I finished absorbing them, the salt spirit spoke to me.

[Baekungi. With the sacrifice of the spirit, the main body is ready to fight the war against the evil spirit. You, as the host, will proceed with the remaining offering ceremony and conclude it.]

” … yes.”

Since the most troubling problem has been solved with the participation of the Emperor of Salt, there is no need to hesitate any longer. I nodded and gave the Emperor of Salt an order.

“I would like your full support and protection as I enter the outer dimension and search for the Four Great Gods. Also, please protect me and my companions from the other Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This is my wish. I also strongly suggest that you offer up all of these offerings to help lift the Seven Evils.”

[ I guess so. ]

“Can you grant my wish?”

[No problem. I’ll make it all happen. But there’s one condition.]

condition?

As I looked at the salt emperor at the unexpected story, the salt emperor continued speaking slowly.

[I will step aside from your work at any time if the ‘watcher’ interferes.]

“……!!”

[If that happens, know that it is beyond my power.]

” … All right.”

Please pay attention.

That being was a divine being who ruled over the outer dimension, and although its rank was not confirmed, it was assumed to be an external god. Emperor Shennong also knew of the existence of the Watcher, so he must have warned me in advance.

[ Then, we will end the Bongseon ceremony here. ]

Pfft!!

With the declaration of the Emperor of Flame, I returned to the real world of the Heavenly Altar. And standing around me were Zhuge Liulong and Zhuge Fu, who were exactly as they were just before I disappeared.

‘It seems like only a moment has passed.’

Zhuge Liulong said.

“What happened?”

” ……”

I was afraid that if I tried to explain it in words, I might spill the secrets of my past life. So I put the memories in obsidian and gave it to him. After accepting the memories, Zhuge Liulong thought about it carefully and then said:

“You did pretty well. That’s a good result.”

“Did it go well?”

“Yes. However, if the spirit had not intervened… it would have been difficult for you to choose either. Either choice would have been regrettable. I would like to see that choice as well, but that is what the strategist wants.”

” … Huh, that’s bad taste.”

“As a result, you successfully negotiated a deal without missing a single one. This has never happened before. This may be proof that the causality of orientation is pushing you from behind.”

Zhuge Liulong said so.

“There’s no need to do anything in the Central Plains anymore. Let’s go to Suihai immediately and prepare to link up with Seimei so that we can enter the outer dimension right away.”

“Okay. But…”

I hesitated and then said.

” … Where did Jegalsa go? I want to know where he went.”

For five days, I was running around like crazy, and all I knew was that Zhuge Shi was using every means at his disposal to defend against the evil forces. Even the appearance of the Demon King Simon Magus in the West meant that Zhuge Shi had sacrificed something, so I couldn’t help but worry about him. It was natural for me to worry since I hadn’t seen him in a while.

” ……”

At my words, Zhuge Liulong’s expression darkened for a moment before he spoke.

“If you want to know, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise not to talk about getting involved in the war now.”

“Okay. I promise. Where is Jegalsa?”

“Let’s go to Guangdong Province.”

Pfft!!

I took Zhuge Liulong and Zhuge Fu to Guangdong Province. This place was the last line of defense and the outpost of humanity that Wang Liang had decided upon, and here, all the fighting ships and celestial forces were gathered to block the Nine-Yin Bridge.

“Ugh.”

When I looked out from the city wall to the plains and battlefields outside Guangdong Province, I was momentarily speechless.

This is terrible!!

Countless two-legged monsters lay dead and sprawled, and bloody rivers flowed. And there were also dead immortals and Taoist priests everywhere, and the tragedies of the wooden Buddha and the human eyes continued unabated. It seemed that the civilian casualties were enormous, as human corpses were strewn everywhere like rags.

‘How big of a fight is this…’

As we entered the inner city from the city walls of Guangdong Province, there were several human commanders sitting and writing documents, and in the center, the Eight Heavenly Immortals and Two Immortals were gathered and holding a meeting. And on the General’s seat sat the Great Master of Heaven, and as soon as he saw me, he said:

“You’re here, Baek Woong!”

“Jecheon Daeseong! What is the situation?”

“It’s hopeless.”

” ……”

“Where did that bastard go? I have to say something.”

“Just one word?”

Jecheon Daeseong spoke with a rare expression of irritation and anger.

“I want to tell that bastard how many humans and gods died here while blocking the Nine Cult head-on! I want to ask him why he had to make this sacrifice to buy time here!!”

“Hmm…”

It wasn’t just Jecheon Daeseong who was showing such a mood, but the other immortals were also exuding a rather cynical air. It was easy to guess that the bloody battle between the Heavenly Realm and the Nine Religions that had been taking place in Guangdong Province over the past few days had been extremely fierce. If Jecheon Daeseong was getting irritated, he must have been truly a death guard.

‘There was a reason why Mangryang kept nagging me to kill him.’

Mangryang had talked about a maximum defense line of five days, but in reality, he had already figured out that even that was an overly hopeful observation. And just as Mangryang had predicted, the front line was in ruins and it seemed difficult to hold out any longer. I said to Jecheon Daeseong.

“Mangryang is dead.”

” what!”

“And now, I think His Majesty the Great can withdraw the front line.”

” … What the hell… Do I look like a fool to you? What’s wrong with making people make this sacrifice?!”

Plop

Jecheon Daeseong gnashed his teeth as if he was very angry, and then he stood up from his throne with his golden eyes flashing. His murderous intent was so great that I had an illusion that my entire jaw was blown off by Jecheon Daeseong’s Ruyi Bang.

Then, Jegal Yu-ryong quickly blocked my path. He was also exposed to Jecheon Daeseong’s murderous intent, and was badly injured, with blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, but he did not lose his wits and responded calmly.

“Your Majesty, please calm down for a moment. Let me speak for you.”

“Get out of here! Who are you to stop me?”

Boom!

When Jecheon Daeseong snapped his fingers, an invisible energy wave burst out, and Jegal Yu-ryong seemed to be trying to block it by casting a magic defense barrier in advance. However, the energy wave was so strong that the Thousand Character Classic burst out of the air in an instant, dispelling the magic, and Jegal Yu-ryong fell forward, spitting out blood from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

“Ugh…”

With just a snap of Jecheon Daeseong’s fingers, the most renowned master of the Baguas in the Central Plains, Jegal Yu-ryong, was rendered powerless!

I had always seen Jecheon Daeseong’s strength, but when I felt it again like this, I was sick of it. When I was drinking with him, I heard a joke that he defeated the great monster with one punch, but that must have been true. It was only because Jecheon Daeseong controlled his strength. If he had used all his power, Jegal Yu-ryong’s whole body would have been torn apart on the spot.

I realized that I had made a mistake and quickly said to Je Cheon Dae Seong.

“Your Majesty! Listen to what I have to say. The reason I am ordering you to withdraw your troops is because you have received support from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.”

” hmm.”

Jecheon Daeseong paused and the surrounding Daera Immortals began to murmur. Jecheon Daeseong seemed to have calmed down for a moment and asked me.

“Support? Which of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would provide support?”

“Yeomje Shennong! I performed a ritual to offer sacrifices at the Heavenly Altar and prayed for his cooperation.”

” ……”

Jecheon Daeseong was astonished, and especially Jongri Kwon, one of the Eight Immortals who was listening from the side, shouted with a shocked expression.

[ Oh, that’s right! According to the divination, the divine being’s assistance is directed towards us… and the direction of the power is also south! Is it really true that the Emperor of Flame is supporting us?]

“Yes.”

[ How could this be… If a person had performed the Bongseon ritual, they would have gained immortality and divinity, and would have gained absolute power or tremendous protection… Are you really saying that Baekwoong, you prayed for the sake of the world without any selfish desires? ]

” … because it had to be that way.”

[ Heh heh…]

Lee Cheol-goe, who was standing next to Jong-ri-kwon, listened to what I said and then glanced at Je-cheon-dae-seong and said.

[ Daesung. Please forgive him. If what he says is true, he is a hero.]

“Hmm. Well… I admit I was a little upset. I’m sorry.”

Jecheon Daeseong scratched his chin awkwardly and apologized to me.

As I live, there are times when I receive an apology from him…

Soon, the Daera Immortals nearby used their medical magic to heal the shocked Jegal Yu-ryong, and I explained in detail what had happened. Jecheon Daeseong nodded after hearing the story and said.

“Good. Then I guess we can slowly withdraw our troops. But does that mean that the Emperor will send his followers to this front line instead of us?”

“Actually, I don’t know about that either.”

I glanced at Zhuge Liulong. Because the plan to withdraw troops was not mine, but Zhuge Liulong’s. Then, Zhuge Liulong, who had been coughing, stood up and explained.

“His Majesty has decided to fight the evil spirit head-on. If so, it does not mean that he will intervene indirectly, but that he may come down to this world himself. If his giant gods and body come down, our remaining here will only be a hindrance.”

“Wow… You’re going to help me that much? I really doubt it… None of us here would have thought that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would help me that much.”

Jecheon Daeseong expressed his admiration.

I was curious so I told Jecheon Daeseong.

“I know it may be rude to say this, but… this place contains the majority of the remaining celestial forces, with a dozen or so fighters and dozens of powerful Greater Immortals. And I knew that the Nine Cult Leaders weren’t that overwhelming, so how come the battle situation continued to be so difficult?”

“Oh, that’s what you mean.”

Jecheon Daeseong frowned and said.

“Tiredly, Bishop… was that what you said? Anyway, the executives directly under the Nine Cultists recovered with infinite regenerative powers and rushed in, and their strength also continued to grow. In addition, high-ranking tribesmen who seemed to be directly under the evil god and whom I had never seen before were summoned from across the galaxy. They were all the same guys, so over the past few days, a war of attrition has been repeated here more seriously than you might think.”

” ……”

“It seems to me that it is true that the evil spirit is directly pouring his blessings on this place.”

I stuck out my tongue.

‘In that situation, even if they are the heavenly warriors, there’s nothing they can do…’

I’ve felt over and over again how powerful the apostles and races that receive the protection of God become.

Then, during the fighting, Lee Rang-jin stepped forward and spoke.

[You said Baek Woong? I have something to tell you.]

“Please speak, Commander Tusun Irangjin.”

Yirangjingun was known to be a great warrior with a beautiful appearance and a third eye on his forehead. He was also known to be very skilled as a warrior who had existed since the mythical era. He was also known to be a great warrior with a young appearance but was very old, and it was known that even the Great Heavenly King could not easily deal with him when he wielded his three-pointed spear.

[Actually, just before you came, Toseon Ye deserted, saying he would kill you. I wonder if it had anything to do with you.]

“…You’re going to kill me?”

[ Yeah. It looked very desperate. ]

What the heck is this nonsense?

The example of Tosun deserting to kill me?

‘I didn’t do anything wrong to him?’

At first, I couldn’t remember the cause-and-effect relationship, so I made a puzzled expression. Then, Jegal You-ryong put his hand on my shoulder and said.

“It’s not important right now. Let’s do other things first.”

“Oh, I see.”

Soon, Zhuge Fu took charge of leading the people from the scene to evacuate them, and the Tusun and Daerashin ships also began to prepare a retreat formation. While the work was in progress, I spoke to Zhuge Liulong.

“Where is Jegalsa?”

“Baek Woong. By gathering the main force of the heavens in this place according to Mangryang’s plan, he succeeded in holding off the evil spirit’s full-scale attack for five days. However, there was a loophole in his plan.”

“A blind spot?”

“If you concentrate your main force, you can defend, but the more you concentrate, the more gaps you leave on other fronts. However, if you could just solve that weak point, it would be the best defensive measure, so Zhuge Liang took on the role of filling that gap.”

“Zhuge Liang…? How.”

” … follow me.”

I followed Zhuge Liulong across the deserted plains. Zhuge Liulong, who had been casting the Shrinking Technique for a while, stopped on a hill and looked down at the battlefield.

“They’re fighting fiercely.”

Kookwakwakwang

On one side of the plain, hundreds of dwarves were swarming like a pack of dogs, fighting something. The dwarves were quite large and appeared to be at least mid-level monsters, but on the other side of them, a human-like being was reaching out.

The reason it was described as looking like a human was because, although it had a human-like body, it had two horns on its head, and its eyes were filled with a strange light, making it impossible to see it as a human. After a while, when the being grabbed its hand, surprisingly, hundreds of sheets of space were crushed together like crumpled paper under an invisible pressure.

Kuddeuk

After a while, the being let go and the space was torn apart and exploded.

Pubberbang!!

When I saw the two tribes being annihilated, I could immediately tell that the being’s power was no less than that of a great immortal. At the same time, I could tell that what he was using was not ordinary sorcery, but a special power.

‘Is it telekinesis?’

I said, tilting my head.

“Well, he looks strong. Anyway, where is Jegalsa? Is he using that guy as a summon?”

Zhuge Liulong suddenly started giving an unexpected explanation.

“Jegal Sa sold his own soul along with his portrait to the Demon King Simon Magus. Simon Magus then used his magic to reincarnate him into a powerful demon. Jegal Sa, who had great talent, adapted to it in no time.”

” huh?”

What the hell are you talking about?

I thought I had misheard, so I looked back at Jegal Yu-ryong, but he stared ahead with calm eyes, and soon I could see several monsters that looked exactly like that one had been standing there. They were talking about something in a mental conversation, and then they teleported away and disappeared.

Zhuge Liulong said.

“That’s the current Jegalsa. He was reincarnated as a demon of spiritualism. He sold his soul just to protect this front.”
