The World of Sound - Chapter 202

202
‘This is… …!’
The world is falling apart.
It was Cheonhwa, the master of the world, who felt it the best.
Just like he had done earlier, Cheonhwa tried to focus his strength to bring down Cheonma, but now it felt like it was difficult to even block his blows as he swung the Cheonma Sword, which was now nothing but the handle.
Even though his sword was shattered, his sword, created from magic and waves like an intangible sword, was incomparably more powerful than before.
But I didn’t give up. I couldn’t give up.
The moment you let go of even a little bit of strength, you will be the one to fall.
It would be the same for Cheonma, and it would be even more so for him, as it would not be easy for him to cut down the expanded power of creation.
Knowing that just as he had his limits, so could the Heavenly Horse, all he could do was to give it his all and fight.
“The path of Asura is the path of slaughter.”
In the midst of the clash, Cheonma opened his mouth.
It was a voice that was like self-hypnosis, to concretize the idea.
“Sura’s black sword is the sword that destroys the world.”
As I defined my own power and strengthened that power and will, I felt that the power contained in my swordsmanship also became stronger.
The world of sound and waves created by creation began to be destroyed more strongly.
“Break!”
The world of Heavenly Flowers slowly collapsed.
“Destruction!”
The moment he sensed it, Cheonhwa also made his last move.
He destroyed the world he had created himself.
The immense power that had formed the world, the ultimate energy of truth, was instantly extinguished.
“… … !”
But it wasn’t just nothingness.
It was like the process of wielding an incredible force that exploded the world.
“Hymn of Silence!”
I can’t hear anything.
I couldn’t see anything.
Even though Cheonhwa was clearly playing with all her might, Cheonma couldn’t hear a single sound.
I couldn’t hear it.
Because all the sounds and waves were sucked into that one point of condensation.
A momentary lull.
And what happened was an eruption of energy more powerful and massive than when the creation took place.
As if all those forces had been condensed into a single, tiny speck of dust, they burst forth with an explosive force that would astonish even the Heavenly Demon.
Heavenly Horse also threw off the waves he had created with Asura Pacheonmu to the limit and threw a move at the Heavenly Emperor, but the power that destroyed the world sucked even that out.
He buried the power and the waves together, destroyed them, and turned them into explosive power.
“Kuaaaaaaah!”
With trembling eyes, I looked at that dark spot deeper than the abyss, then raised my head and looked at Cheonhwa.
The moment their eyes met, Cheonma’s expression became distorted like that of an evil spirit.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang-!
Cheonma poured everything he had into dealing with the unfathomable energy of the explosion.
It wasn’t easy to stop the explosion, even though the power and waves were no longer being absorbed.
No, it was close to impossible.
‘Magician?’
Whoosh whoosh!
The power of destruction that Cheonhwa had caused spread slowly and steadily, to the point that Cheonma’s resistance was meaningless.
Then, black flames rose from Cheonma’s body.
Are you saying that you will do something like that?
Or is saving lives a priority right now?
No. It looked like a madman, but it was different.
Unlike others who gave themselves over to the corrupted spirit’s energy and burned up all their innate energy without being able to control it, Cheonma is in complete control of its power.
If you think about it, it’s obvious.
So, it must have been possible to share the energy of the fallen spirit with others under the name of Seonghwa.
In the process, he received help from the Holy Grail, a very special divine item of the Demonic Cult, but it was possible because he could properly handle its power.
“This can’t be happening… … !”
In that sense, Cheonma’s understanding of Hwaryeong may have been similar to Cheonhwa’s, or even better.
But it’s not enough.
Because the power of destruction caused by Cheonhwa far surpasses that of Hwaryeong, or even the power of Incarnation.
Even the Heavenly Flower would have to expend almost all of its remaining energy just to limit its power and direction.
Kugugugugugugugugu-
Even though Cheonma amplified his power by consuming some of his innate energy, he was unable to stop the aura of destruction that was advancing.
The power that arose from the destruction of a small world was explosive yet quiet.
I just kept moving forward, erasing and destroying everything I came into contact with.
Even though the Heavenly Horse and countless other Mines poured their strength into resisting, it was impossible to even slow it down a little.
Even the word overwhelming is an understatement.
absoluteness.
The power, which can be said to be another word for the ultimate truth, swallowed everything.
“… … .”
Silence within silence.
The warriors of the Murim Alliance who witnessed the tragedy that occurred as the world was destroyed, and the demons who barely escaped the range and survived thanks to Cheonhwa barely controlling the direction of the power, were speechless.
Because I couldn’t believe that the work he did, the strength he poured out, and the results he produced were human.
It was erased.
All of them.
Most of the mines were literally wiped out, leaving behind no corpses.
“Whoa. I’m going to die.”
“… … Even a hundred years… … was it impossible… … .”
Only one person survived in it.
Cheonma. Thanks to the waves of Asura Pacheonmu, half of the bastard’s body was blown away, but he was still barely breathing.
Even though that feeble life force was dissipating along with his breath, he was able to sigh and complain to Cheonhwa with his empty eyes.
“A thousand years is not enough. But.”
Even after waiting for a hundred years, and even successfully restoring the Asura Pacheonmu that had been lost, I still suffered such a meaningless defeat.
The eyes and soul of the Heavenly Horse began to scatter faintly.
“Baek Mok-Hyeon.”
“… … ?”
“If you had just taken the Asura statue back then, you might not have met me.”
Cheonhwa spoke heavily, holding onto the spirit of that guy.
With deep resentment, he shouted at Cheonma, the enemy of his parents.
“If I had just taken the statue and left, if I had let my parents live, I wouldn’t be here.”
“Could it be that the sculptor’s… son?”
“okay.”
Then, as if he had finally realized something, Cheonma’s eyes shook.
You must be regretting it.
If it weren’t for Cheonhwa, becoming the leader of the martial arts world would have been an easy task for him.
“But why is that thing… there?”
“… … ?”
However, his next answer was completely different.
It was unexpected.
“Yes… … The ones who killed your parents… … were probably the Jeongpa guys… ….”
“What?”
“We were going to protect him… … Cool! Bring him… …!”
Phew!
The moment Cheonma babbled incomprehensible words, a sword flying from afar pierced the bastard’s heart.
Instant death.
With that, Cheonma’s eyes went out and his breath stopped.
Finally, the complete defeat of the Demonic Cult was confirmed.
“… … What is this?”
However, Cheonhwa’s anger has not yet subsided.
It may not be completely believable as it could be a final collusion or a plot to slander him, but there may be a reason why he took the trouble to kill him and cover his mouth.
So I looked back at the place where the sword had come flying with a bleak look in my eyes, and there was a familiar face.
“Namgung Se-ga-ju.”
Namgung Se-ga-ju Namgung Cheon-myeong.
He is the current leader of the martial arts world, but he did not lift a finger in this fight. He was a person who had been entangled with Cheonhwa in several uncomfortable situations in the past.
That guy suddenly swung his sword and cut off Cheonma’s windpipe.
Although there were confrontations with two of the three emperors, the actual battle with Cheonma was fought by Cheonhwa alone.
“Master, what are you doing!”
“No matter how great a leader he is, this is going too far… … .”
“Ahem. It would be better to definitely end the devil’s life. Yes.”
“Don’t be so excited. It’s not like Cheonhwagong’s merits will go anywhere… … .”
The other members of the Murim Alliance showed their own reactions to that sight.
It is understandable that he deserves to be criticized as he may be thought to have tried to steal the great fame and achievement of killing Cheonma, but some people are showing an ambiguous attitude, perhaps because of his position as the head of the Namgung family and the current leader of the martial arts world.
However, Cheonhwa didn’t care about that.
He was more concerned and angry that he had intentionally cut off Cheonma’s words than that he had taken credit for killing Cheonma.
Although it did not lead to a direct attack, the anger directed at Cheonma instantly shifted to the guy.
“Tsk. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Namgung Cheonmyeong walked towards Cheonhwa under those hot gazes. He approached her leisurely, carrying his luggage behind his back, as if he didn’t care about Cheonhwa’s feelings at all, and then scattered his internal energy around him.
Internal energy barrier.
A wall of internal energy that blocked out any outside noise spread around them, and Namgung Cheonmyeong passed Cheonhwa with a bitter laugh.
“Well, does it matter? You’ll find out after you enter the underworld and reunite with your parents anyway. It won’t make a difference if you find out early.”
“I bet you were wondering what he was doing.”
Cheonhwa growled at the guy who was babbling meaningful nonsense, but the guy remained calm.
Just a moment ago, I saw the inhuman strength that had defeated the Heavenly Demon.
“They say it even grants the wishes of the dead. I’ll tell you since you seem curious. About twenty years ago. We were the ones who killed your parents.”
“… … !”
Then, Cheonma confessed the secret story that he had not been able to finish.
“If you had just handed it over, we could have preserved the body intact. Because you kept bothering me, the great undertaking ended up being delayed.”
As Cheonma said, they confessed that it was they, not the Demonic Cult, who killed Cheonhwa’s parents, and further revealed that they were the ones who dug up and damaged the bodies of Cheonhwa’s parents.
“But thanks to that, I was able to blow my nose without using my hands. I don’t know about those who were bragging about being the third emperor, but I felt a little burdened by Cheonma. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have bothered to start a fight or sacrifice the children.”
In addition, it has been revealed who the subordinates of those who have been pretending to be members of the Dark Cult are.
Those who pretended to be demons and harassed the sect from behind were none other than members of the Namgung Sega family, the pillars of the sect.
If others had heard about it, they would have felt a great sense of betrayal and it would have been a public enemy in the martial arts world, but that didn’t happen because of the internal energy barrier.
Things like that weren’t important to Cheonhwa anymore.
“You… … !”
Paget!
Lightning struck from Cheonhwa’s fingertips.
A blow containing the power of the god of thunder was fired as if it would fry the guy, but surprisingly, it scattered white the moment it touched him.
The appearance of the emperor.
It was a technique I had seen before.
The method of protecting the user by surrounding them with an internal energy armor that contains waves like the Cheonmahosimjingi was something that Cheonhwa already knew, but the moment it was revealed, he couldn’t help but frown.
The appearance of the emperor he had seen was not to this extent.
Not only did it become more powerful, but the energy contained within it was also extraordinary.
A landscape, or rather, the extreme of a landscape.
The inaction of Namgung Se-ga, known to not even reach the level of Hwagyeong, is actually the extreme of Hwagyeong, surpassing even the three emperors.
I had guessed that he had hidden his power, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent, so even as Cheonhwa, I couldn’t help but be a little flustered.
“As expected. You’ve lost a lot of strength. It looks like you’ve already used up most of your internal energy.”
Namgung Cheonmyeong sneers as if he had expected such a reaction from Cheonhwa.
Maybe I didn’t know that I had been waiting for this situation from the beginning.
This is a situation where Cheonma and Cheonhwa fight, one dies, and the other loses a lot of strength.
If it had been a two-faced plan, it would have been perfect, but the guy bent down with an evil smile as if this was enough.
I found something on Cheonma’s body.
“!”
It is none other than the statue of Asura.
Surprisingly, the Asura statue was still intact.
It seemed that the reason was because Cheonhwa was protecting him in her arms and he himself unleashed the waves of Asura Pacheonmu.
Although Cheonma absorbed most of its unique waves, its true value was still intact.
“In that condition, can you endure this?”
Asura Pacheonmu.
Namgung Cheonmyeong ended up getting that too.
Most of the accumulated energy was taken by Cheonma, but as he mastered the martial arts itself, the appearance of the emperor that he displayed also changed.
A new wave has been added.
“Do you really think you’re my opponent? A guy who didn’t even have the guts to come forward until his strength was gone?”
Seeing that, Cheonhwa did not back down and took the blow, but he could not continue the attack rashly.
It’s frustrating, but it’s true.
Because I had used up almost all of my internal energy to fight against the Heavenly Demon and control it, I had to fill up my empty Danjeon a little.
“You’d better give up the thought of running away. Everyone saw what you just did.”
“… … .”
Even though he knew the circumstances of the situation, he didn’t attack right away because he was confident.
But he just laughed at him and told him one thing.
“Do you know what you just did? You attacked the leader of the martial arts world, the representative of the entire martial arts world. You evil bastard.”
He made it clear that he had a justification and that he had the power and influence to create that justification.
“I knew it from the moment you attacked Tangga. You had evil intentions of taking over the world on behalf of Cheonma.”
It wasn’t really the people outside who thought that way.
He says he will make it happen.
If Cheonhwa actively makes excuses, there will be some who will take his side, but the dead cannot speak.
After killing Cheonhwa, he plans to blame everything on him.
Namgung Cheonmyeong.
“What does that mean?”
“What? I still don’t understand the situation… … .”
“Should I kill you and wipe out everyone here? If that’s what you want, I’ll do it.”
However, Cheonhwa was neither discouraged nor embarrassed.
If no one can touch anyway, there will be no dogs who dare to teet their teeth.
Instead, he started playing slowly and heavily.
“What are you doing? Are you planning to play a last song instead of a will?”
I thought he was going to pour out attacks like before, but nothing happened.
Because of that, Namgung Cheonmyeong looked at Cheonhwa with a snicker.
I thought I was wasting my time trying to recover.
“… … ?”
That thought was only half right.
It was true that it was for the purpose of recovery, but it wasn’t just an action to buy time.
Tsuzuzuzuzuzuz-
Charararang!
It was an obvious mistake.
It was he who gave time to Cheonhwa.
It didn’t take long for Namgung Cheonmyeong to realize that.
As soon as Cheonhwa started playing, the internal energy barrier he had created broke on its own, and all the energy that formed it was sucked into Cheonhwa.
“Who would let it recover! There is already a magic circle controlling the nature spirits in this area… …?”
And that’s not all.
As he sent the signal, a huge magic circle enveloping the area was activated.
The power of the magic circle that controls the natural environment and makes it difficult for even the best of the Hwagyeong to easily recover internal energy was unleashed, but even that was broken and began to be absorbed by Cheonhwa.
Whether it is an internal energy barrier or a magic formation, they are all derived from nature, so they cannot go against the will of the Heavenly Flower that exerts its dominant power.
“Absorption… … the Great Law?”
It looked similar to the Absorbing Method, but the result was definitely different.
Although it is similar in that it forcibly absorbs the opponent’s energy, what Cheonhwa absorbs is not just simple internal energy.
The emotions that arise from those who listen to the naturalist and the performance. Even the energy that emanates from it is all transformed into available energy and accumulated in him.
Even the spirits of the mines and frauds that were swept away by the power of destruction.
Therefore, it was only in an instant that the once empty Danjeon of Cheonhwa was filled with energy.
The more people there were, the more high-level masters there were, the greater the power of the Cheon-eum-mu-sang-sim-beop, which had great resilience, was now being manifested in him.
“Whew. Are you ready?”
Namgung Cheonmyeong noticed this and tried to attack Cheonhwa with his sword, but it did not reach him.
Just by releasing some of the recovered energy, I was able to nullify all of the attacks from the bastard who had the power of the Emperor’s Sword combined with the Asura’s Heavenly Sword.
“Shall we start the second round?”
Only when he had recovered all his strength did Cheonhwa finally look at him.
The final villain, a ferocious smile was shown towards the real enemy of his parents.
As if he was going to kill me the most painfully this time.
