Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 952
Only Noblemtl
952====================
True empty hometown
You blessed the destruction of the universe?!
‘So then… does that mean the foreign press was in favor of vacuum incense?’
I can only see it that way. I thought that the regeneration of my limbs was also a blessing bestowed upon me by the Mother of All Things just a moment ago. I didn’t feel any more magical power, but it was true that this alone was a great help. At the same time, I could tell that this was the best opportunity.
The spirit of the earth is confused. The events that just happened were so great that such a high-ranking being was confused, and at the same time, this golden opportunity to attack would never come again.
I immediately knew what the most powerful offensive tool I could use was.
Baekryeonjijong Cheonryeoshinmu!
I don’t know how it was written, but that blow pierced the head of [Old Ruler] Tezcatlipoca, dealing a fatal blow. The strongest attack I can currently do is not the Sword Lightning, but the Heavenly Thunder God Dance.
If you use the Thunder God Dance, you will definitely be able to deliver a critical hit to the ancient god spirit in front of you. I can guarantee it!
But the problem is that I don’t remember how I used it. It felt like I had reached [somewhere] unconsciously in a state of ecstasy, like when I was a sea god, and naturally received that power. Nevertheless, it was strange that there was a clear name, but I still didn’t know the principle of the power.
I felt frustrated. As Yeo Dong-bin said, it is true that going through a great crisis and hardship like the ten battles of life and death can be an opportunity for awakening, but I felt quite annoyed that the power of that awakening did not continue and was torn apart.
no.
I don’t want to be swayed by enlightenment like this, like amnesia!
If it’s not a power that can always be exerted, then how is it any different from a great fortune?
I gritted my teeth. I thought I was tired of dying stupidly, so I decided to concentrate as much as I could until I died. Even if I die, I shouldn’t have any regrets.
The best strategy that can be used at the moment is to maximize the power of the absolute realm! Then, like last time, a clue to the Thunder God’s Dance will appear, or you can use it according to its power. You have no choice but to take a gamble.
So, I straightened up the pillar of my will while pulling up each strand of energy in my body.
The pillar of heaven with the thought of heaven.
The pillar of will that you gain when you reach the absolute realm! This pillar penetrates the upper, middle, and lower dantian levels, allowing the absolute realm master’s will to shake the heavens and earth, and allows you to truly change reality with will. The effect of will that can manifest light-splitting techniques and ultimate techniques that are impossible according to the original physical laws is maximized dozens of times, creating miracles.
Woo woo –
My Thought Heavenly Spirit resonated. I had reached the absolute realm, but had never properly demonstrated the power of the Thought Heavenly Spirit. At first, I thought of strengthening this power by casting the Thought Heavenly Spirit on the tip of the blade where martial arts were concentrated, but soon I thought, “Oh no.”
‘The blade… The blade alone could never create an attack that could pierce a god!’
What would happen if [the sharpest brain blade in the world] or [the sword that cuts through space and time] were realized through the Heavenly Spirit of Ideas?
Depending on the ability of the absolute master, it will probably be realized. It would be like the sword lightning of Dokgo Seong who reached the absolute state, or Miyamoto Musashi’s space-time slash. All of those absolute state’s ultimate techniques had their own power, and were enough to deal with an army of 100,000, but the problem was that since they were realized through human willpower, there was a limit to their power.
It can also be seen from the fact that Musashi could not cut Jeonwook. At that time, Musashi clearly cut the space-time near Jeonwook’s body that had descended, but he could never surpass the divine cognition and magical power. Jeonwook was a being that transcended space-time, so no matter how fast his swordsmanship was, it was meaningless, and he knew Musashi’s means and methods of attacking in the dark. All he did was simply block the dimension with magical power several times stronger than the Heavenly Thought.
That would be several times easier for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors than twisting a child’s arm, so Jeonwook would have treated Musashi like an insect. In terms of the ability to manipulate space and time, a god far surpasses a mortal, so the level of thought that an absolute master embodies would never be able to cut down a god.
However, for a martial artist, there is no place more powerful than the tip of his weapon. That is why I felt momentarily bewildered.
How can I cut down a god with absolute martial arts?
At that moment, a word from Shintojijon a while ago flashed through my mind.
[ Let me just say one thing. You should abandon the delusion that you can kill a god with human martial arts.]
Delusion…
‘Yeah. It’s a delusion…’
I could easily accept and understand the words of the god of war. Because Musashi had already set a perfect example. In order to overcome his fear of gods, Musashi honed his martial arts called Shinsatsucham and created a blade that could cut through time and space. However, I saw with my own eyes that the blade did not reach the gods at all and was brutally humiliated.
It is a delusion to think that one can defeat a god with human skills.
It is a being of a different dimension from the beginning.
It’s too much to look down on a transcendent being who plays on a galactic scale.
But that meant something else, because it was none other than Shintojijon who said those words.
‘… If it is the martial arts of a god, not a human.’
Wouldn’t it be possible to cut down a god with the divine power?
Isn’t that why it is called a peerless martial art that has reached the realm of the gods?
Isn’t that the advice of the one who has reached the throne of the god of war, the god of war!
I know it sounds ridiculous and nonsensical. However, if you want to be able to defeat a god with martial arts, you have to change the premise.
Ordinary sorcerers or magicians would laugh at such a thought. Rather than attempting something so far-fetched, it would be a hundred times more likely to become a demon itself or elevate one’s existence through human sacrifice or training.
But I am a warrior.
If I had pursued martial arts simply for the sake of strength, how could I have reached the absolute state? martial arts can neither be a means nor an end, but are simply martial arts in and of themselves. There can be no compromise or efficiency in my martial arts.
” ……”
Close your eyes.
It’s empty.
Eliminate distracting thoughts and kill intent.
I had a gut feeling that I would never be able to escape the realm of a human who would try to kill his opponent. Even if I trained for a thousand years, I would never be able to catch up with the beastly fighting sense and innate celestial nature of Musashi, who was a natural genius. And since I had confirmed that the absolute state that Musashi had achieved was not that of a god, I knew that I should not use the same method.
What should I do if I don’t kill my opponent?
The fight never ends unless you kill or knock someone down.
But there is something I can’t give up.
Unless I realize something beyond the fight, the White Lotus Spiritual Sword of Heavenly Thunder will never come to me.
‘It’s just like Yeo Dong-bin and Jang Sam-bong said. I have to embody emptiness in my heart.’
Woof
Something tickled the back of my head and slowly began to warm up. I wondered what it was, but then I saw the faint backlight and realized that it was a halo behind my head. And as the halo grew stronger, I could feel the sensation I had when I reached a state of ecstasy in the past as a Musou-pae slowly rising.
Coming.
Is this the feeling of the Thunder God’s Dance?
Is it fantasy or reality…
Ta-da!
At the same time, a huge palace seemed to unfold before my eyes. The palace seemed to be made of a hundred palaces, and each palace seemed to have its own owner. And at the end of the palace, there seemed to be some unknown being sitting. Also, for some reason, it seemed that the ones living in the hundred palaces were not pure humans.
Where is that?
Should I step in there?
Somehow, I felt like only then would I be able to use the Baekryeonjijong Cheonryeoshinmu again.
I have to get to that seat…
So, when I was in a state of ecstasy and about to take a step towards the throne,
Phew!!
“…… Cool.”
… Huh?
I felt my heart being pierced by a stone spear, and black blood flowed out in a slosh.
[ It’s a little late, but I think we should fix this now. Let’s clean you up first. ]
With the cold voice of the spirit of the earth, I knew it was over. The spirit of the earth seemed to have recovered from its confusion and found me defenseless and absorbed in my ego, and attacked me while I was vulnerable. I felt my consciousness quickly fading away and my body becoming cold.
“Ugh, gasp…”
Oh, no…
I felt like I was going to feel something, but it was so absurd…?
‘It’s foolish to lose your mind and try to gain enlightenment in a life-or-death battle… but…!!’
Slap
I slumped forward, my eyes wavering, and I could tell that the aftereffects of Jeonghyang’s causality had ended immediately.
The feeling that everything was flowing around me like I was the main character in the world was cut off.
It means that when there is a realistic adversity, they never show any consideration for my circumstances and attack me.
Could it be that I was unconsciously relying on the causality of orientation?
This is a big deal.
As I was struggling to breathe on the border between life and death, a huge, sun-like power suddenly burst out from within me.
[Don’t worry, White Bear! My name is Quetzalcoatl!! I won’t let you, who saved me, die!]
Kuwaaaat
Quetzalcoatl took the form of a golden bird and filled my heart. Then, as I lost control of my body, Quetzalcoatl began to move my body instead. He rushed towards the spirit of the earth with a golden aura surrounding me.
[ Ooooh!!]
Quagmire
Quetzalcoatl swung his fists wildly and attacked the spirit of the earth, but the spirit, unable to defeat him with a single blow of his tongue like before, seemed to block him with a shield. It seemed that Quetzalcoatl, in his descended state, could not be considered a lower being, so his tongue did not work.
The spirit of the earth spoke in an unpleasant manner.
[ How could this be! Are you not also a great ancient god? A being born as a twin of the [Old Ruler], do you truly intend to protect this crazy ritual of destruction? ]
Wooooow
As the Spirit of Earth let out a roar of rage at Quetzalcoatl, the air began to quiver and time began to freeze. The ultimate spell that would stop time and erase the existence of the opponent had been activated. However, as Quetzalcoatl’s eyes lit up, a snake-like figure appeared in front of him, nullifying the spell. Quetzalcoatl’s power seemed to be on par with the Spirit of Earth.
[I don’t think it’s that complicated. This is also the law of cause and effect. I succeeded in becoming independent thanks to Baek Woong, so I’m just repaying his favor!]
[Is it okay if everything in the world is destroyed?]
[Do we need to worry about such things? After all, this world is the will of the great [Father] and is just a dream for one night, and we too are mere creatures.]
[ ……]
[The spirit that should pursue absolute moderation has come to have selfishness in its existence… I can guess to some extent why this happened.]
[Shut up.]
Quagwagwagwang
The powers of the two divine beings clashed in the air. I could only watch the fight, barely peeking out from the ascending plane of the unconscious to the edge of consciousness. And after a while, Quetzalcoatl spoke to me through the mental world.
[Baek Woong-yi. I can’t buy any more time. Is there no way?]
[ Yes? Is there a problem… ]
[You and I are not in the relationship of apostles or incarnations, nor have we made a contract. The more I move this body, the more it will not be able to withstand the divine power and will collapse. Furthermore, since you have already made a contract with Dharma and an apostle, you cannot make a double contract with me. It means that there is no reason to move your body anymore.]
[ ……!!]
[Your body has fully recovered, so I will return control to you shortly. Until then, you’d better figure out a way to deal with that spirit.]
Is this just a little bit of time-waster?
I was mumbling, but then an idea suddenly occurred to me and I replied.
[ Yes, please return it. ]
[Good. Also, through this descent, you have gained a part of my body (divine body), so you will share my fate.]
Pfft!!
After a while, I regained consciousness. Then, I quickly picked up two of the three sacred weapons, Bayu and Varuna, in both hands, within the last protective shield of sunlight that Quetzalcoatl had created before he withdrew.
“Oh my god! Unleash that power.”
Woohoo
Then, Bayu created a wind shield and Varuna spread a water prison to confine the earth spirit. In an instant, the earth spirit seemed unable to run wild any longer as they unified their offense and defense. The earth spirit spoke in an angry voice.
[How dare you confine an ancient god in a sacred place… You despise the gods!!]
” … Phew.”
I felt bitter.
‘I wanted to defeat him while improving my martial arts skills.’
It seemed that things in this world did not flow so easily. Even so, it was true that I had realized the sense of the Heavenly Thunder God’s Martial Arts more deeply, and I felt bitter that I had dragged out a fight that I could have won if I had used my divine power earlier. No, maybe it was because I had acquired the causality of Jeonghyang in this life and was used to getting a tailwind, so I had not been careful in everything. Of course, the biggest reason was that I was so impatient that I could not think of using the three great divine powers.
“Die.”
Kookwakwang
I lifted Agni and fired it. At the same time, the spirit of the earth turned to ash and disappeared without even screaming. I pulled the scattered soul of the spirit of the earth into the Divorce Law and placed it in the last sacred vessel.
“The last miracle, [Vajra (वज्र)], I got it.”
Woohoo
With this, I collected all the Four Great Spirits. As soon as I finished the difficult mission, I took all the Four Great Spirits and headed to the altar where Dharma was.
Jeokbuk
As I went up to the altar, the writer was just putting up the ninth piece.
Crackle!!
” ……”
Now, if I just add one more piece, will the vacuum incense be over? I thought so and looked at Dharma standing on the altar. He had already lost most of his human form, and his entire body had transformed into a black mass of chaos, which was slowly being absorbed into the air. I could not possibly believe that Dharma in that state would be conscious.
“Dalma. I’ve gathered all the Four Great Spirits. What should I do now?”
Still, I spoke to Dharma. Since Dharma was the one in charge of all this, I could not proceed without listening to his next instructions. And when I spoke to Dharma, he was silent for a while and then slowly spoke to me.
[… Baekung-i… Do you know why the other [old rulers] opposed this vacuum incense ceremony, but the outside gods approved of it and even gave their blessings…?]
“I don’t know.”
I really didn’t know, so I answered like that. Then I focused my gaze on the west and said.
“It’s almost done. Just wait a little longer and the last piece will be attached, right?”
[ ……]
Dharma remained silent for a while before saying what he wanted to say.
[ The reason why foreign media have no aversion to the destruction of the world… In fact, the reason why they cheered me on to do vacuum incense… It is because foreign media are beings who are not affected by the destruction of the world caused by vacuum incense.]
“……!!”
what?!
I was startled by the sound I heard for the first time.
‘Oh, well, that makes sense, but!’
I shouted urgently.
“Is it true? Even if the vacuum fragrance is in progress, foreign news will not be affected?”
[ … yes…]
“How do you know that?”
[ When I accessed the World Library a while ago to get permission to vacuum incense… [He] gave me a hint…]
Dharma seemed to be smiling bitterly.
[ Even if the vacuum is blown like this, the foreign gods will never disappear… They were not involved in the destruction of the world in the first place and are exempt from responsibility… This is because they are the ones who have truly transcended reincarnation… They are beings who cannot be compared to other [old rulers]…]
“Reincarnation? What are you talking about?”
I felt strange and asked back.
“[The old rulers] have already transcended life and death, and are all beyond reincarnation. How are the foreign gods any different from them?”
[ Baek Woong… That is the reincarnation that mortals recognize… The reincarnation of transcendent beings… is of a different dimension… That is… [The Shackles]…]
After a while, Dharma continued speaking.
[ [Father] closes his eyes and opens them in an instant… the reincarnation of the [Great Shackle]… The being who has surpassed that is recognized as an outsider…]
“……!!”
[ Yeah… Baek Woong… Hehehe…]
He shed light on the madness.
[ My vacuum scent… was meaningless from the beginning… Since I can’t get rid of the foreign gods, who are the true gods of the demons… Even if I destroy the world… won’t I just have to go through endless suffering again… KHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!!]
” ……”
Oh, that can’t be.
[ I… was just a clown… hahahahaha!!]
I felt like I didn’t know what to say to Dharma’s madness.
How can you be so helpless?
The destruction of the world that I had pursued with all my life was being toyed with so vainly.
As I stood there blankly, Dharma spoke.
[ But I… didn’t give up… because… Baek Woong, you were there… ]
“What are you talking about?”
[You… I don’t know why you came to this world… but you are the only hope… Baek Woong… promise me… something only you can do…]
” ……”
[ Huh… Huh…]
For a moment, Dharma seemed to be gasping for breath.
Then he said.
[ Baek Woong…!! Complete the true vacuum fragrance that can even destroy foreign gods!!]
