Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 523
Episode 523 A small wind creates a typhoon (3)
“Whew.”
Seoryang, who had been through a sea of work for more than three days, entered Panmajeong.
Jiiiing.
As the reigning Demon Emperor Qi soared, the Yujin Dohyeonggyeol engraved on his heart moved.
Tsutsutsutsu.
The scenery of Panmajeong has changed.
The white world without a single shadow suddenly turned onto the cliffs of an unnamed, desolate mountain. There was a beautiful pavilion standing on the cliff.
As time passed, the operation of Panmajeong became more proficient. Now, if you blink just once, the world can change instantly.
After climbing to the large pavilion, Seoryang sat on the railing and looked over the cliff.
“The wind is nice.”
The more you think about it, the more clever it is.
A method that can change the world according to human will. The strangest space in the world where a fantasy world can be created according to the owner’s imagination.
‘If you taste it, you’ll be in big trouble.’
You can make anything you want. So to speak, he is like a god here.
But it doesn’t create people to talk to.
Of course, Lee Cheon-sang was different. I was able to feel once again how sublime the state of Lee Cheon-sang is by creating a person who actually listens and speaks and responds even though there is no spiritual energy from the object.
The current Seoliang cannot do that. It was possible to summon Lee Cheon-sang using the innate magic energy of the Cheonmado, but it was only possible because the Cheonmado contained Lee Cheon-sang’s spiritual energy.
‘That’s better.’
Panmajeong is a world of fantasy. It is not a real world.
If I lived in a place like this, creating only the situations I wanted, the people I wanted, and the scenery I wanted, I felt like I would lose the line between reality and fantasy. No, before I even think about it, I don’t think I would even want to go outside.
‘If you think about that, Panmajeong is a really well-made formation. In the first place, just changing the world as you imagine is not the level of human beings, but…’
Seo-ryang, looking over the cliff, closed his eyes.
Ugh.
When I opened my eyes again, the world had changed again.
Grumble!
Fires were burning everywhere as far as the eye could see.
Kwazijic! bang!
The broken signboard fell to the ground. A corpse was seen in the broken stone wall.
You can’t make a responsive person, but you can make a corpse. This is because there is no real reaction as the spiritual energy is not contained.
In the end, the only people that can be created in Panmajeong are dead people.
Even though I already knew, it was bittersweet all over again. It’s an amazing strategy, but what it ultimately creates is death.
‘It looks similar.’
Xu Liang’s eyes wavered.
Dozens of lightning bolts fell from the red sky. A high tsunami surged across the land engulfed in fire.
It was hell. This was the hell that Seo-ryang vaguely imagined.
‘It’s so similar to this world.’
It was when Seoryang, who was looking around with bitter eyes, sighed deeply.
chuck.
Seo-ryang’s face hardened.
‘…Pretending to be popular?’
what? There’s no way there’s someone there?
Xi Liang slowly turned his back.
His eyes widened.
“Kumho?”
Grumbling.
Kumho was there.
There was a golden tiger in the cutting wind of blades blowing over the burning ground under pouring lightning.
But it was Geumho and not Geumho.
‘What is that body?’
Indeed, Geumho’s body, which I had seen for the first time in a long time, was trembling like fire or smoke.
Golden fur dances. The two eyes, which were as clear as a human’s, were stained blue. Surprisingly, the tail, which was as big as the body, was split into two.
Let’s go!
One of them’s tail was scattering black lightning.
Grumble!
The other tail was fluttering flames as red as blood.
Grumbling.
Cold sweat broke out on Seo-ryang’s forehead.
An unimaginable entity arbitrarily invaded the world he had created. However, that being was none other than Geumho, who was resting in the bamboo forest.
‘Kumho!’
Xu Liang was sure.
It’s like the image of Icheon, which is real yet fake, illusory yet real, created by the innate magic energy sealed in the Heavenly Demon Island.
That gold tiger is also both reality and illusion. The only difference is that Seo-ryang was not summoned, but Geum-ho himself jumped into this place.
‘How is that possible?’
It was then.
“Why is it only this much?”
Xu Liang was astonished.
“What?”
“You are weak.”
Surprisingly, the target of the conversation was Geumho.
A fox monster as big as a tiger was talking. Even though this place is Panmajeong, I never thought I would experience something like this.
Seo-ryang clutched his shocked chest and said.
“Weak?”
“You are fast. But it’s weak.」
It’s weak.
Since his reincarnation, he had never heard anyone say he was weak. His growth rate was so fast that no one could believe it, and the time it took him to fully acquire the strength he had acquired was dozens of times faster than others. The strength I have now was built up over and over again.
But Kumho says: They say that Western Liang is weak.
Looking at the greatest demon in the world of his time, he is saying that he is weak as if it were natural.
“Weak… Is that so?”
Xu Liang smiled bitterly.
“Well, it might seem that way.”
He didn’t think of himself as weak. It’s not that I don’t want to admit it, it’s that I was actually strong. It was not arrogance, but confidence.
However, it may appear that way in Kumho’s eyes.
Geumho was a huge collection of energy that could participate in fate just by existing.
Geumho was a ghost with the body of an animal. He was an incomprehensible being who was born as an animal, went through the process of becoming a spirit being, and reached the realm of enlightenment on his own.
There was only one person at the time who could be recognized as equal to Geumho.
“He was strong.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes deepened.
It was very clear who the ‘he’ that Kumho was talking about was.
“He was strong. you are weak He said you would surpass him. “But it’s still weak.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
Why? Geumho’s tone sounded like he was complaining.
A lot of the strength in my shoulders was relieved. The unexpected tension disappeared.
“Don’t believe everything he says. He just accepted me. It’s hard for anyone to be like him.”
“But he was sure.”
“Whatever he said doesn’t concern me. If you have any hope in Master’s words, it would be best to leave it alone.”
Seoliang tilted his head.
“But why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you suddenly disappointed in my weakness?”
Geumho had no answer. He just stared at Seoliang with those mysterious eyes.
Seoryang also looked at Geumho without saying a word.
How much time has passed like that?
Xu Liang’s eyes wavered. Because I saw tears flowing from Geumho’s blue eyes.
“I don’t want to die.”
“…What?”
“I live forever, but I die just as much. “I don’t want to die anymore.”
What are you saying, this guy?
In an instant, Geumho’s eyes turned pink.
It’s a joke! Crumbling!
Astonishment appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
Soon, Geumho’s eyes turned bright red, and Geumho’s body grew several times larger than King Tiger’s.
Let’s go! Kwakwakwak! Qarring!
A deafening explosion rang out.
It was because of the golden tiger’s tail. The golden tiger’s tail, which had been reunited again, had become as huge as a mountain peak. And its huge tail was completely covered in black thunderbolts.
Like the thunderbolt divine spear that might have been wielded by the primordial giant Bango.
“He was this strong.”
It’s shocking.
The visible Geumho is not real. It’s an illusion. However, it actually represented Kumho’s will.
So I could see more clearly.
‘This is the true power of the greatest horse of all time…!’
I was vaguely aware of it, but I had no idea it would make such a big difference.
The size of Lee Cheon-sang’s power that Geumho remembered was as huge as a mountain. In comparison, the power of Xiliang was not as strong as a huge rock.
‘What kind of unreasonable power difference is this?’
My own strength was nothing in front of that person.
Because he had a human body, he would not have been able to use all of that strong power. However, it was unbelievable that such transcendent power was sealed in human flesh.
Seo-ryang’s eyes grew hot.
The moment he confirmed the reality of Lee Cheon-sang’s power, which he had vaguely guessed, he was able to feel a strong desire that he had never felt before.
‘I want to become stronger.’
Training was everyday life and martial arts was a given.
However, in recent years, the aspirations have not been as strong as before. This is because I was too busy and had a lot to worry about.
Geumho was scolding such seo-ryang.
It seemed like it was shouting not to forget your essence. He was reprimanding me, saying that if you are truly the successor to the Heavenly Demon’s martial arts, you must rise to this level.
Seoliang fully accepted the reprimand.
If only I could obtain that enormous power, a divine power that could destroy even the providence of Mother Nature.
So, if only I could use that power to blow away my enemies and obtain the magic utopia.
If I can keep my people from getting hurt, if I can protect my people’s descendants.
Geum-ho looks at Seo-ryang looking at him as if he is fascinated, and then he is hooked! It disappeared with a sound.
Crumbling!
As I closed my eyes and opened them with the sound of heaven and earth opening, I saw the familiar sight of Panmajeong.
“uh?”
Seoliang continued to look around.
Geumho was nowhere to be found. There was no world or hell on the cliff that he had created.
‘what?’
Why did the illusion suddenly disappear?
At that moment, Seo-ryang felt a pain that felt like his heart would be torn apart.
“Pfft!”
Seoryang kneeled down without realizing it.
His eyes wavered.
– I live forever, but I die just as much. I don’t want to die anymore.
Faaagh!
Seoryang quickly kicked down the door of Panmajeong and entered the entrance of Gojuklim in an instant. On the way, many demons bowed their heads, but they didn’t even notice it.
Para la rock.
As I entered the Gojuk Forest, there were monsters I hadn’t seen in a long time.
However, none of the monsters rushed towards Seoliang. On the contrary, they were so startled by the sudden appearance of Seoryang that they were busy running away in all directions.
Seoliang immediately entered the secret place of Gojuk Forest. This was the place when I first met Kumho.
And there was Geumho.
“…!!”
Shock appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssep…”
been the Geumho lying down with his tail curled up in the same spot where I first saw him.
And the Geumho was as small as a cub.
Xu Liang realized. Geumho is dead.
Geumho’s body, which had become as large as a great tiger, died. And there was a new Geumho.
Xiliang knelt down.
The golden tiger’s large ears fluttered briefly.
Seoliang stroked Geumho’s head.
Flash!
At that moment, a fantasy of the past appeared in Seo-ryang’s mind.
That was the past that Kumho experienced. It was an incident.
This was how Yoseon, the only one in the world, lost his strength and died.
“I see.”
It is not time for Geumho to die. And yet he died.
A tear flowed from Seo-ryang’s eyes.
“You are Master…”
It was because of Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang, who rejected the laws of heaven, deserves to die as a human being. The soul and the white should be separated and the body should return to dust. That is human death.
Geumho, as a human being and a heavenly demon, scattered the bodies of Lee Cheon-sang, who died, into the world.
I wasn’t one with the world. It was impossible to call a person Geumho who rejected the law of heaven.
Just like that Hyeoncheonjinin.
Geumho caused the dying Lee Cheon-sang to die not as a human being but as a half-seon.
I don’t know where the dead Lee Cheon-sang went. Hyeoncheonjinin became one with Mt. Wudang, but the place where Lee Cheonsang went was unknown. Kumho did not inform us that far.
However, in the process, most of the magical power it possessed was consumed. That is why death came quickly.
If only Seo-ryang had as much enlightenment as Hyeon Cheon-jin.
Even if he had not reached enlightenment, Geumho would not have died if he had become stronger and deeper than anyone else in the world. Because it would have sucked his power and come back to life.
In other words, Geumho met his death because he was weak in the West.
The death of Geumho, who had helped him in countless battles, was entirely due to the weakness of Seo-ryang.
“sorry.”
Seoriang hugged Geumho.
Geumho yawned loudly and looked up at Seoryang with clear eyes. Those innocent eyes were the same as when he first saw Geumho.
“I will never let you die again.”
