Into the Creations 1521

## Chapter 1521 – 1521. The Ascent To Guangming

The place the Rakshasa Woman was heading was the place where Miriyeong had said it was better not to go. The place that Miriyeong had said felt like a dangerous thing was sealed.

Seeing the Rakshasa Woman advancing without hesitation, it was clear that her destination was there.

“This attack. Does Cheon Yu-un know about it?”

I asked the Rakshasa Woman, who was walking ahead.

“No. This is my own decision. That guy wouldn’t allow something like this, given his personality.”

“Is it okay to do something like this? Cheon Yu-un’s influence should still remain in the Mookji Alliance, right?”

“It’s fine as long as I succeed. If I succeed, that guy won’t be able to say anything to me, right?”

Did we move too openly? A Jongnam Sect martial artist who was passing by saw us and rushed towards us. A blonde beauty and a masked man. Anyone could tell they were suspicious.

“Who are you?! Stop right there….”

The Rakshasa Woman swung her twin swords. Two sword energies shot out like rays of light towards the Jongnam Sect martial artist. One sliced through the martial artist’s neck, and the other sliced through his chest.

The Jongnam Sect martial artist’s face contorted as he fell to the ground. It was proof that he hadn’t reacted properly.

“Impressive. What kind of swordsmanship is that?”

“It’s not really anything special.”

She answered as if it were a bother.

She was different from ordinary martial artists.

Usually, if you asked a martial artist about their swordsmanship, they would explain it with great pride. Martial artists liked nothing more than to have their martial arts praised.

We arrived at a dangerous place.

The Rakshasa Woman stretched her twin swords forward in parallel.

Whoooom.

The two twin swords resonated. It didn’t feel like internal energy was moving.

‘A magical artifact. The Mookji Alliance Lord wouldn’t have ordinary weapons. But what is she doing?’

I decided to watch for now.

Kiiiiiiing.

A silver wind rose from the two resonating swords. It was a small wind, but it was not ordinary. The fact that the wind was silver was unusual in itself.

The silver wind moved slowly.

I gulped, unconsciously swallowing my saliva and tensing up. I couldn’t help it. The space where the peaceful and mysterious-looking silver wind passed was distorted like crumpled paper.

The silver wind shattered the barrier. It was a truly crude yet elegant sight.

“What is that? Can you break a barrier with such a crude method?”

“It’s nothing special. It’s just a trick to break a barrier. It’s too slow to use for attacking.”

The silver wind was indeed too slow. It was slow enough to easily dodge without using a split second. But its power was dangerous. The result was right before my eyes. The barrier was completely shattered and disappeared like a rag. The building that the barrier had been hiding was also revealed.

The building itself was ordinary.

“…The energy I feel from that building is not ordinary. It’s a very foreign energy.”

“It doesn’t feel good, does it?”

“If I had to choose between good or bad… it’s a bad energy. I wouldn’t want to get close to it if I could help it.”

“Hmm. Is that so? You’re a Demonic Cultist after all.”

The Rakshasa Woman walked towards the building. And without hesitation, she swung her twin swords. Every time the swords were swung, sword winds rose and cut through the building. The building collapsed, and what was inside was revealed.

There was a white giant. Only its upper body remained, but it was 5 meters tall. The white giant was bound by chains and could not move. If you looked closely, there were traces of cuts all over its flesh.

“What is this? It doesn’t feel like a monster at all.”

“It’s a Heavenly Soldier.”

“A Heavenly Soldier?”

“It’s an artificial soldier from the Immortal Realm. It’s a living being, but it doesn’t have a self. It’s a living doll and a weapon.”

“Why is it here?”

“It’s a gift from the Immortal Realm. They threw a treat to a well-behaved mutt.”

“A treat?”

“Look closely. Do you see the cuts all over its flesh? The flesh of a Heavenly Soldier is like a panacea. If humans eat it little by little, their bodies become stronger, and their internal energy gathers. Their lifespan will also increase little by little, right? It even regenerates little by little, so how good of a panacea is it?”

Actually, I knew about Heavenly Soldiers. They were biological weapons that appeared in the latter half of the original Guangming Ascension. Of course, they didn’t appear often.

“It won’t have much effect even if you eat it.”

“I don’t really intend to eat it. Did you come here to steal this?”

“That’s right. It’s too good of an item for the Jongnam Sect to have. Since it’s still alive, it won’t go into my spatial storage. You take this. I was going to see your skills, but it seems like I can’t. I’m….”

A huge energy was felt. My head and the Rakshasa Woman’s head turned to the side. An old man flew down from the sky, his robe fluttering, and landed on the ground. A sword stood upright, gleaming between his fluttering sleeves.

“I’ll deal with this old man.”

An unusual aura emanated from the Rakshasa Woman.

“Who are you to cause such a commotion?”

The old man spoke calmly. But his two eyes were sharp and even fierce.

“Hyeil Jin-in. I didn’t expect the former sect leader of the Jongnam Sect to show up. You must be quite surprised?”

The Rakshasa Woman said sarcastically.

“You thief, do you know what you’ve done? You tried to steal the treasures of Jongnam. Your crime deserves death.”

Hyeil Jin-in swung his sword. From right to left. If someone who didn’t know anything saw it, it would look like a light horizontal slash. But I felt a mountain-like force from Hyeil Jin-in’s sword.

‘I have to avoid this.’

Before my legs could move, the Rakshasa Woman reacted first. She crossed her twin swords and blocked Hyeil Jin-in’s mountain-like sword strike.

“Get out of here with that!”

“Got it!”

I grabbed the Heavenly Soldier’s arm and ran away from the place. The Heavenly Soldier’s upper body was dragged along.

“Do you think I’ll let you get away!”

Hyeil Jin-in shouted and stepped forward. At the same time, the Rakshasa Woman also stepped forward and followed Hyeil Jin-in. Hyeil Jin-in couldn’t ignore the Rakshasa Woman’s fierce twin sword techniques.

Clang! Clang!

Their swords clashed. The aftermath shook the surrounding air and spread in all directions.

‘They’re still just sizing each other up.’

They were absolute masters who had reached the Three Peaks realm. If they were serious, it wouldn’t end with just the surrounding area being devastated. It was best to get out of here before getting caught up in it.

‘The Rakshasa Woman seems confident, so she’ll be fine. She seems to have some hidden skills too.’

Before I could use my light footwork, I hesitated for a moment.

The Lightning Sky Style was too noticeable. I had mainly used the Lightning Sky Style while working as the Joseon’s Greatest Swordsman.

‘If I use the Lightning Sky Style, the Jongnam Sect might be able to deduce my identity.’

So I had to use a different martial art. Since I was wearing a mask, there was a perfect martial art for that. I had decided to be on the same side as the Rakshasa Woman, so there wouldn’t be any big problems.

“……”

I quietly inhaled.

Thump.

The sound of my heart hit my head. At the same time, the dormant demonic energy began to stir and activate. The demonic energy ran through my meridians. I felt my body’s strength becoming stronger.

I channeled the surging demonic energy into my right foot and stepped on the ground.

Demonic God Art (天魔神功) Demonic God’s Descent Step (天魔君臨步).

Dominating space, folding space.

I felt my body stretch like a rubber band and then shrink before disappearing.

A warp that transcended space. A footwork that could be called a shrinking step. But it wasn’t perfect.

‘At my current level, I can only move about 10 meters at most.’

It consumed a tremendous amount of concentration and demonic energy. Unless it was an emergency, it was better to just run.

“You bastard!! That ominous energy…! It’s the Demonic God Art! Did the Demonic Cult dare to attack the Jongnam Sect!!”

Hyeil Jin-in shouted from behind.

‘He recognized the Demonic God Art right away?’

I was briefly puzzled, then realized that the Demonic God Arts were all similar.

‘If you knew the Demonic God Art well, you would be able to distinguish it right away.’

He was Hyeil Jin-in of the Jongnam Sect. He wasn’t a Demonic Cultist, so it was natural that he didn’t know much about it. It seemed like I had accidentally given Hyeil Jin-in a huge misunderstanding.

‘Oh well, whatever.’

There was no way I could have a conversation to clear up the misunderstanding, so I focused on escaping.

“Jongnam Sect martial artists! Kill him! The Heavenly Soldier must never be taken! It will be the foundation of the Jongnam Sect for a thousand years!”

Hyeil Jin-in’s voice echoed throughout the Jongnam Sect. And from all over, the voices of the Jongnam Sect martial artists could be heard.

“Supreme Sect Leader! Leave it to me! I, Byeok-o, will eliminate the intruder!”

A man jumped out.

He was a martial artist who happened to be near me. He shouted as if to show off and swung his sword.

“Take this, you villain! This is the Jongnam’s Lower Severing Sword (下切利劍)!”

“You’re playing around.”

Demonic God Art (天魔神功) Dragon Fist (竜拳).

I punched towards the incoming sword. The moment the sword and fist met, the compressed demonic energy in my fist was released in a straight line. The sword couldn’t withstand it and shattered. The Dragon Fist didn’t stop. It pierced through the martial artist’s heart and continued to extend backward.

Without even checking the body of the fallen martial artist, I rushed forward.

Jongnam Sect martial artists rushed towards me to kill me. First-generation disciples, second-generation disciples, they all came running. They attacked while deploying their formations, but they were nothing in my eyes.

Demonic God Art (天魔神功) Demonic God Sword (天魔劍).

The rushing martial artists fell like autumn leaves. But the enemies didn’t back down. They focused on their formations and rushed at me all at once. The flow of air changed due to their formations. I felt my range of movement narrowing.

‘They know how to deal with a master. All the free space has been suppressed.’

It was like a net that was slowly tightening. If I got completely caught in this net, I would become a trapped fish.

‘I have to tear the net before that.’

Demonic God Art (天魔神功) Demonic God’s Descent Step (天魔君臨步) Wave Form (波形).

I stepped forward. The energy of the Demonic God’s Descent Step became a wave and spread in all directions. The balance of the enemies who were touched by the wave was broken. The enemies coughed up blood or had nosebleeds. It was internal damage caused by internal energy.

Demonic God Art (天魔神功) Demonic God Sword (天魔劍) Heavenly Rotation (回天).

I rotated my demonic energy and channeled it into my sword. I spun around and swung my sword. A whirlwind rose and swept away the enemies. The enemies disappeared like a handful of blood after being put through a blender.

As I was about to move forward, someone else jumped out. It was a middle-aged man holding a sword. He was a man with neatly combed half-white hair and no wrinkles on his face. It was in contrast to his long beard that reached down to his chest.

“Half-white hair and a long beard. And a young face. Is that Song Jik, the Five Eternal Swords (五永劍) and the sect leader of the Jongnam Sect?”

“And who are you?”

“I am the Demonic God (天魔).”

“That’s ridiculous. I heard that the current Demonic God doesn’t move from the Demonic Cult. If you are truly the Demonic God, take off your mask and show your face.”

“No matter what you say, I am the Demonic God.”

Demonic God Art (天魔神功) Black Flame Demonic Dragon (黑炎魔龍).

Whoosh!

Black flames formed on the blade.
