Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 426
Episode 426. Ten Heavenly Demons (6)
If you ask people which group represents the martial arts faction, they will most likely answer the Shaolin Temple.
It is safe to say that the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple, praised as the Taishan North Tower, are the foundation of the martial arts faction, both in name and reality.
It is not for nothing that it is said that all martial arts in the world were influenced by the Shaolin Temple.
So the Shaolin Temple was a group that should never be destroyed.
Regardless of how strong Shaolin was, they had such symbolism.
There was also a reason why numerous groups that fought wars with the ruling faction, the Murim, concentrated their attacks on the Shaolin Temple.
So then, which group represents the Mado Martial Forest?
It is the Church of the Heavenly Demon.
Unlike the Shaolin Temple, which has experienced ups and downs several times throughout history, it is a myth of magic that has never collapsed for a thousand years.
And what led the myth was a being called the Heavenly Demon, who appeared in forgettable times.
The Heavenly Demon is the embodiment of power that no one under the sky can match and is the king of ten thousand demons.
And the past Heavenly Demons left their symbols, or military flags, to future generations in the hope that they would not forget the glory days.
The Chamryong Demon Sword of the First Heavenly Demon was like that, the Yonggok Shinpyeon of the Four Great Heavenly Demons was like that, and the Seven Night Swords of the Seven Great Heavenly Demons were like that.
Their weapons, which had not rusted even after being passed down for hundreds of years, symbolized the greatness of the Cheonma.
Then, what about the Demon Emperor Treasure Sword, the beloved weapon of the Nine Great Heavenly Demons, Lee Cheon-sang, who is said to be the strongest Heavenly Demon in history?
Surprisingly, the Demon Emperor Sword was not a special weapon, unlike the other Heavenly Demons’ favorite weapons.
The Demon Emperor’s Sword was the sword of Jajeon Shinma, who was said to be the worst cult leader of the entire generation of Lee Cheon-sang.
The Jajeon Shinma, which had become so corrupted, even became distant from the essence of martial arts. Therefore, I preferred weapons that were flashy and luxurious in appearance rather than weapons that were faithful to their functions.
To begin with, his main martial skill was not swordsmanship. Even though he rose to his position through manual skill using a pair of six arms, he wore a treasured sword simply to look dignified.
One of the many treasured swords collected was the Demon Emperor Sword.
It was harder and sharper than any other iron sword, but because it focused on flashiness, it was more of a decorative item that only looked good on the outside but had no substance.
Lee Cheon-sang, who drove out the Jajeon Demon, used the Demon Emperor Sword as his beloved sword.
The Demon Emperor’s Sword, which was flashy but had no substance, seemed to symbolize the Protestant religion of the time.
Lee Cheon-sang held that sword and grew the Heavenly Demon God Church into an absolutely invincible group worthy of the name of the headquarter of the Demonic Martial Arts.
A sword that taught us that the same sword can produce different results depending on who uses it.
A sword refined through the agony of the Nine Heavenly Demons who constantly reflected on themselves while holding the treasured sword, a symbol of corruption, because they did not want to be corrupted.
The best magic sword of all time and modern times, newly refined with the heart and soul that has been honed to possess the best martial arts skills and such powerful force.
That sword has now appeared here in front of Seoryang, the 36th leader of the Heavenly Demon Church and the Ten Heavenly Demon.
Geumho opened his mouth.
The Demon Emperor Sword, which was about to fall to the floor, floated up and slowly approached Seo-ryang.
Slam!
The sword was heavier than I thought.
In terms of actual weight, the Heavenly Demon Sword would be much heavier, but the Demon Emperor Sword contained Lee Cheon-sang’s life. It contained his agony, dreams, adversity, and success.
Xi Liang pulled out the Demon Emperor Sword.
Slurp.
The sound of the sword being pulled out of its scabbard was as smooth as a song.
The body of the sword, which was wider and longer than any other sword in the central plains, looked as majestic as the Cheonmado.
Xiliang’s eyes deepened.
‘Master.’
Wooooow.
A shout of swords broke out. Even though no magical energy was poured into it, the sword cried out on its own.
Cheeeeeeeek!
Black magic energy rose like smoke from the sword body.
The faces of the demons who saw the smoke were colored with shock.
“That squadron leader!”
“Gasp!”
That’s right.
It was Lee Cheon-sang’s demon energy that spewed out from the Demon Emperor Treasure Sword. It was an ultra-high-density innate demon energy that was at a different level than any other demon energy. Slurping.
The
demons who were sitting comfortably naturally fell to their knees.
Lee Cheon-sang was dead, but his alter ego was alive. The sword remained. That sword was indeed the alter ego of Lee Cheon-sang. They had no choice but to show their respect in front of the relic of the greatest Heavenly Demon in history. Seoliang, who was
sweeping the Demon Emperor Sword with incomprehensible eyes, closed his eyes.
At that moment, an extraordinary event occurred.
Tsutsu Tsutsu.
The innate magical energy emanating from the sword body was trying to seep into Seo-ryang’s eyebrows.
It was an extremely dangerous moment. Baekhoe and the eyebrows were the passageways of the Sangdanjeon. If
unrefined external energy came in, it could lead to mania such as delirium. He could have suffered from a fatal illness or, in severe cases, could have fallen into a state of brain death.
Seo-ryang’s eyes flashed.
Cheeeeeee!
The magic energy that was advancing suddenly squirmed on the spot as if it had been blocked by a wall.
“I don’t want it.”
A calm voice softly penetrated the ears of the believers:
“I am the master of the Protestant religion of my time. I respect you, Master, but you must not interfere with me since you have already stepped down from the throne.”
Chiiik! Chiiik!
“As the only Heavenly Demon living in this era, I will do my best to help our school reach heaven.”
Cheeeeeek!
“I am the only successor recognized by you, who was praised as the best in history. “If I wasn’t confident that I could do better than you, I wouldn’t have accepted the position of leader in the first place.”
His calm voice exuded steely confidence and natural dignity.
Unlike other groups, humility is not an essential virtue for the leaders of the Demonic and Safa factions.
However, it will not be easy to say that you will be better than you in front of the greatest horse of all time.
But strangely, there was no particular sense of discomfort in Seo-ryang’s voice.
No matter how great his talent is or how great his abilities are.
I had an expectation that those words, calmly recited, would soon become reality.
“Have faith. “These are the words of the Heavenly Demon.”
Sssss.
The innate magic energy that had been constantly squirming once again seeped into the Demon Emperor Sword.
It was as if he understood Seo-ryang’s words. The demons opened their mouths wide at this amazing sight.
Seo-ryang, who was quietly looking at the sword, looked around at the believers after holding the lead sword.
“You’ve been having some not-so-pleasant days lately, haven’t you?”
The demons raised their heads and looked at Seo-ryang.
It was completely different from the heavy and distant feeling of Li Cheon-sang.
Seo-ryang was softer and more natural than Li Cheon-sang, but exuded an atmosphere of nobility and sophistication, like a lotus flower blooming on mud.
“You have lost your God. “At an unexpected time and in an enemy territory I had never imagined.”
The demons’ eyes wavered.
That’s right. They had never thought that they would lose Lee Cheon-sang like this. They had never even dared to imagine that he would die fighting someone.
So they felt more confused than sad. At least the God they knew had not died like that. It was because he was an unacceptable being.
No matter what God’s intention was, he was someone who should not have left like that. That was the reason why they could not lead a normal life after Lee Cheon-sang’s death.
“People with outstanding beauty and beauty often have short lives.” .
Moreover, he was not a human, but a god, and someone we cannot measure by our standards. He
lived for over 70 years, so it is difficult to say that his life was short, but it is true that he must have lived an eternal life. It is bound to be a huge shock that such a person passed away like that. Probably not.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But what does that mean?”
“⋯⋯?!”
It was difficult to guess the meaning of these words. The demons held their breath and listened to Seo-ryang.
“You can be sad. You can be depressed. You can be angry. You can struggle with emptiness. But you overlooked one fact. “I see.”
Seoryang’s calm and relaxed voice began to gain strength:
“For you, there is not one God.”
“⋯⋯!!”
“The god died, but he was replaced by another god.
And the god who will succeed him is a monster who became the Heavenly Demon at a young age and created the unprecedented situation of having two Heavenly Demons in one generation.”
Whoa!
The clear and cool wind gradually became heavy and stuffy.
Seoliang’s left eye emitted a blue electric light.
“Because such a monster was your successor, you gave up the opportunity to become heaven and chose to die as a human.
“He died happily, turning the central government upside down for his successor, who would open a new world when he would have just left.”
“⋯⋯.”
“I know his heart. He also knows my heart. So I decided to put my personal dreams aside and take my church to the world, even if it meant putting my life on fire.”
“⋯⋯.”
“What about you?”
“⋯⋯?!”
“The new Heavenly Demon is trying to show you a new world, but do you want to live so hopelessly, buried in the illusions of the old world?”
Xu Liang raised his chin.
Where had the infinitely soft atmosphere gone? The air became so heavy that it was even uncomfortable to breathe.
Grumble . Rung.
Dark clouds formed in the clear sky.
Rumbling!
Clouds collided, scattering deafening thunder and blue-black lightning.
“Tell me.”
Grumbling! Grumbling!
The Absolute One, with heavenly lightning and hellish flames in his eyes, asked,
“Who am I?”
Upheaval appeared on the faces of the demons.
Boom!
Seoliang, who got up and struck down the head of the demon statue with the Demon Emperor Sword, asked once again,
“Who am I standing in front of you?”
All the demons who were kneeling were fighting with all five bodies on the spot.
“Dominion Holy Teaching! Heavenly Demon Immortal!”
The Grand Demon Lord shouted on behalf of everyone.
“The children of the humble demon have an audience with the Ten Heavenly Demons!”
“We have an audience with the Ten Great Heavenly Demons!”
The demons shouted one after another,
“We have an audience with the Ten Great Heavenly Demons!”
“I have an audience with the Ten Great Heavenly Demons!”
They shouted and shouted again. Realizing that a new Heavenly Demon had finally descended, their cries became more and more turbulent as time passed.
Hu Yao-seong, who had been lying on his stomach, raised his upper body and looked back.
“I have an audience with the Ten Great Heavenly Demons!”
“Ahhh!”
“Meet a new god!”
It was as if the group was drunk on drugs. Everyone, regardless of status or status, was all crying out for the Heavenly Demon at the same time, and it was as if they were seeing fanatics.
Hu Yaocheng turned his head again and looked up at Xioliang.
Xioliang said that it was so natural. He was looking down in all directions with his absolute demon eyes shining brightly.
The sight of him standing on top of the huge demon statue in the central square and looking down at them was truly reminiscent of a demon god.
Hu Yaocheng smiled and gently purred.
“Teenager . “I see the Heavenly Demon.”
There is no need for anyone to prepare for the coronation ceremony and the
transfer of power. Now, in front of all the demons here, Seo-ryang announced himself as the new god of Shingyo
. He showed that he has the ability and also showed the dignity appropriate for that ability.
Crawl! Shoot! Ah!
A shower poured down from the darkened sky.
Everyone, including the leaders of Xoryang Province and the demons under their command, got wet from the rain. There was thunder and lightning and the thick humidity made it difficult to breathe.
However, their cries were louder than thunder, their madness was stronger than lightning, and their eyes were colored with a desire so hot that even a shower of rain could evaporate.
In that way, the believers shouted and shouted for half a day.
It was the moment when a new Heavenly Demon was born in the Heavenly Demon Church.
