## Chapter 780 – 780. The Ascent To Radiance
780. The Ascent to Radiance
“…So, the book was your goal! Even if you have it, you won’t be able to read it!”
I ran my fingers over the rough cover of the book.
“The Demonic Heavenly Art.”
“……!!”
Shin Jong-woo’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
“Y-you can read it?!”
“Yeah. I don’t know the principle, but I can read it.”
I opened the book. Just like I could read the cover, I could read the contents. However, understanding the contents was a different matter. Even if I could read the secret manual, I couldn’t understand even half of it.
‘Huh. I thought there would be something special… Is it just an ordinary book, ordinary knowledge?’
Flip. Flip.
I was flipping through the pages when suddenly, a dark energy began to seep out of the book and flow into my arm.
[You are not of the Heavenly Demon’s bloodline. You are not qualified.]
[Unqualified one. If you value your life, put down the Demonic Heavenly Art.]
It was a deep, resonant voice. I looked around, tilting my head. Besides Namgung Rin, who was standing in front of me, and the dying Shin Jong-woo, there was no one else.
“Master Sung! That book is cursed! You have to throw it away right now!”
“No. It’s okay.”
It seemed Namgung Rin could also see the dark energy. The dark energy looked quite dangerous, but in reality, it couldn’t penetrate my body and was only staying on my arm.
[…Why is he unharmed?]
[There is something about this one. I sense the energy of the stars.]
[A human born with the power of the stars.]
[Jong-woo is dying. There is no time.]
[Even so, he is still unqualified.]
It was a deep voice. But it felt like they were talking among themselves. It was one voice, but it seemed to have multiple wills.
‘In the original work of this world’s Heavenly Demon… the thoughts of the past Heavenly Demons are contained within this Demonic Heavenly Art manual.’
It seemed to be just like the original work. And Shin Jong-woo was their descendant. Shin Jong-woo’s arrival in this world was related to them.
‘Well, I don’t care about that. What’s important is, what can I get from this book?’
[I say again. You are not qualified.]
[Return the Demonic Heavenly Art to Shin Jong-woo.]
[If you don’t, I will kill you.]
“Heh heh. If you could kill me, you would have already done it.”
I scoffed at them and continued to read the Demonic Heavenly Art manual. I still couldn’t understand even half of it, though.
[Foolish one.]
[Your greed has brought about your death.]
[The Demonic Heavenly Art belongs only to the rightful Heavenly Demon!]
[Die.]
A thick, dark energy, reeking of danger, emerged from the Demonic Heavenly Art and began to corrode my body.
I frowned. My body was becoming increasingly constricted. I had a feeling that I was in danger if this continued.
‘Demonic Heavenly Art.’
I used my Demonic Heavenly Art. The reason I used the Demonic Heavenly Art instead of the Spirit Heaven Qi Art was because I was curious which Demonic Heavenly Art was stronger.
My Demonic Qi began to push back the energy from the book that was entering my body.
[Meaningless resistance.]
[No. Wait. This energy is….]
[Demonic Heavenly Art…?]
[Feel it closely. It’s similar but different. This is another Demonic Heavenly Art.]
[……This is the Demonic Heavenly Art? It’s impossible. The Demonic Heavenly Art was created by humans and is a martial art that transcends the human realm. But this, this is…!]
[…It wasn’t created by a human.]
[The being that created this is of a different caliber.]
The Demonic Heavenly Art manual continued to block me and tried to push back my Demonic Qi. However, at some point, the manual’s energy began to be devoured by my Demonic Qi.
And I finally read all the way to the last page of the Demonic Heavenly Art. I didn’t look at it deeply to understand it, but merely skimmed through it.
『Analyzing the Demonic Heavenly Art manual. Absorbing the energy of the Demonic Heavenly Art manual into the user.』
‘Finally, it’s moving.’
What I had been relying on from the beginning was one thing, the Heavenly Star System. Since this book was not an ordinary book and was a type of martial art, I thought the Heavenly Star System would move somehow.
[It’s the energy of the stars! The energy of the stars is attacking us!]
[Mere star power… Ugh!]
[This is not ordinary star power!]
『The user’s perception and abilities are insufficient. Please increase your VIP level.』
I clicked my tongue.
My current Heavenly Star VIP level was 1. I had collected 60 Heavenly Jades so far. To increase my VIP level, I needed five times that amount, 300. It was impossible to increase my VIP level right now.
‘Insufficient perception and abilities… Even if I eat all the elixirs I have, there’s no way I’ll gain abilities that would satisfy the Heavenly Star System….’
Perception was even more hopeless. I had no talent.
‘But if it’s just for one moment, it’s a different story. The time of genius.’
The contents of the Demonic Heavenly Art manual that I had read came back to my mind. Things that I hadn’t even half understood began to be understood in an instant.
『Conditions met. Entering the Mental World.』
I was in the Mental World.
The sky was black, and the ground was a white space. I knew instinctively. This was not my Mental World.
Five people were standing in front of me. They were all wearing old-fashioned clothes. There was a man in martial arts attire, a man in Hanbok, and a man in Western noble attire. They all looked like Shin Jong-woo.
“How did you enter this place?!”
“This is crazy! The world’s control is shifting to him! The power of the stars is helping him!”
“We must kill him!”
They reached out into the air. Weapons appeared in each of their hands.
I chuckled.
It was pathetic.
Demonic Heavenly Art (天魔神功) Dark Abyss Hole (黑暗穴)
I used Shin Jong-woo’s Demonic Heavenly Art that I had just seen in the book, not the Demonic Heavenly Art that I knew.
A black hole appeared in front of me, and they were cleanly sucked in without even resisting.
‘Easy.’
If it were the original me who hadn’t used the time of genius, I wouldn’t have been able to end it so easily. Thanks to activating the time of genius, I understood Shin Jong-woo’s Demonic Heavenly Art even more easily. Right now, I probably understood it several times more than Shin Jong-woo did.
I organized Shin Jong-woo’s Demonic Heavenly Art in my head. I discarded what I didn’t need and took what I did.
『The Demonic Heavenly Art manual has been completely absorbed.』
『Exiting the Mental World.』
‘…It’s been way more than 10 seconds, but the time of genius is still continuing. The time in the real world and the Mental World must be different.’
I opened my mouth.
“System. Wait. I want to stay in the Mental World longer.”
『Maintaining the Mental World. The maximum maintenance time is 3 hours, 21 minutes, and 30 seconds.』
“That’s enough.”
The Mental World changed around me.
The sky turned blue, and the pure white floor became a vibrant land.
I didn’t know the principle behind this Mental World. I simply dominated this Mental World as my senses led me.
“Yuria.”
Yuria, wearing a maid outfit, appeared in front of me. She was just a fake that I had imagined. It was possible because this was the Mental World. Her physical specs were identical to mine.
“You’ll have to spar with me.”
Yuria held a dagger, and I didn’t hold any weapon. What I wanted to experiment with was Shin Jong-woo’s Demonic Heavenly Art.
And so, 3 hours passed in a flash.
I fought Yuria a total of 72 times. I lost 40 times, tied 8 times, and won the rest.
『Exiting the Mental World.』
•••
As soon as I returned to reality, I sat cross-legged on the chair and closed my eyes.
I circulated the Demonic Heavenly Art. Not the Demonic Heavenly Art written in the manual, but the Demonic Heavenly Art that the King of the Demonic Heavens had given me.
‘Moment.’
There were 6 seconds left until the time of genius ended.
I organized my dizzy head and took action.
‘Moment.’
I absorbed the energy of the absorbed manual into the Demonic Heavenly Art’s formula with the help of the Heavenly Star System.
‘Moment.’
I could see a wall.
A wall that was blocking me. Until just now, I hadn’t even recognized the existence of this wall.
There was no need to break the wall. There was no need to jump over it. The wall disappeared on its own, turning into dust.
‘Moment.’
I gathered energy in the place where the wall had disappeared. I planted lightning at the center and added flesh with demonic energy. That was how I could use ordinary energy. It was impossible under normal circumstances. But I had the assistance of the Heavenly Star System.
‘I succeeded. The core has settled inside me.’
Only then did I open my eyes.
The time of genius was a much more fraudulent skill than I had thought. If Yuria’s world had been [Ascent to Radiance] instead of [Hundred Transformations]…. I cut off my thoughts. It was meaningless.
“T-there was a shockwave from Master Sung just now…. W-what on earth?”
Namgung Rin didn’t seem to understand the current situation. For her, only about 10 seconds had passed.
I looked at the book in my hand.
Fssss.
The book, having had all its energy absorbed by me, disappeared.
‘Thanks to that, I’ve reached the 3rd stage of the Five Qi.’
It was a shame that I had missed some things, but the contents of the manual were in my head. My Demonic Heavenly Art had become even stronger.
“W-what have you done…!!”
Shin Jong-woo let out a mournful cry. He had felt that his connection to the Demonic Heavenly Art had been severed. Shin Jong-woo was finished. Now that the Demonic Heavenly Art manual, the source of his power, had disappeared, he wouldn’t last long before dying from his fatal wounds.
“Your Demonic Heavenly Art…. It’s amazing. Heh heh.”
I took off my clothes. And I looked at Namgung Rin. Namgung Rin understood my intention and hesitated before taking off her clothes herself.
“W-what are you doing!”
“Can’t you see? I’m embracing my woman. You just shut up and watch from there. Heh heh.”
“Sung Yoo-jin!!!”
Ignoring Shin Jong-woo, I sat on the chair and watched Namgung Rin undress until the end. No matter how many times I looked at her body, even after she had taken off her underwear, I never got tired of it.
“Lie down. You know what to do, right?”
“Yes, Master.”
She placed her hands on the floor and pushed her buttocks towards me. Shin Jong-woo was directly in front of her.
“L-Lady Rin… Cough, cough!”
Namgung Rin flinched at Shin Jong-woo, but soon wiggled her buttocks as usual.
“Master, please look and touch. My pussy.”
Her moving buttocks were round like a full moon, and her cute anus and tightly closed pussy were visible. Her black pubic hair went downwards. When the wind blew, her pubic hair would sway slightly.
“Yes. Yes.”
I needed to wet her pussy to penetrate it. I touched her pussy with the middle and ring fingers of my right hand. Touching it directly, I could feel that it was slightly wet. At this point, there would be no problem inserting my fingers.
I inserted two fingers and moved them quickly. I wasn’t just moving them. I was rubbing the vaginal walls that Namgung Rin was particularly sensitive to.
“Hoooot, ooh, aah!”
Squeak squeak squeak squeak!
Namgung Rin’s feet tensed up, and her buttocks rose up. Every time my fingers poked around, obscene sounds were made, and her fluids continued to drip onto the floor. It hadn’t even taken 3 minutes for her pubic hair to become completely soaked, even though I hadn’t used arousal enhancement on her already developed pussy.
I pulled out my fingers.
Her open pussy was fluttering, appealing to me with its pink inner flesh.
“Haa, haaa, haa… haa…”
I grabbed my dick and smacked her pussy with it.
“Aah! Master Sung! Please put it in! Please…! My pussy is so desperate!”
“Heh heh. Move yourself. Ah, don’t turn to look at me.”
“Yes.”
She climbed onto the chair where I was sitting and squatted down. She naturally put both hands behind her head.
I could see her back. Her voluptuous breasts peeked out from the side of her back. The breasts peeking out from behind were subtly arousing.
Shin Jong-woo was screaming at the top of his lungs with a distorted face. I ignored him, and Namgung Rin was focused on my dick more than Shin Jong-woo.
“Haa, haa, I’m going to put it in…!”
She lifted her buttocks and moved them around, checking the position of my dick with only her sense of touch, and then lowered her buttocks. Her pussy instantly swallowed my dick to the root.
“Ah, ah…. It’s so good…. Master’s dick is the best…! Ah! Master! Master!”
She began to pound her buttocks mercilessly. I asked while looking at her swaying black hair.
“Shin Jong-woo is dying, and you want to shake your hips?”
“I don’t care about Young Master Shin! I only need Master…! Haaang! Master, tell me you love me… Master…!”
“I love you.”
“Aaaah!”
Her pussy was spasming. She had reached her climax in no time. However, her buttocks continued to move. Although the speed had slowed down, she was still tasting my dick without rest, trying to squeeze out my semen. At this moment, I felt the worth of having trained Namgung Rin.
20 minutes passed. Namgung Rin continued to move her buttocks on top of me, and I sat still, leisurely enjoying the sex.
“S-Sung Yoo-jin…! You, you will someday… receive, receive… cough…. punishment…!”
The dying Shin Jong-woo barely managed to utter words of curse.
I chuckled and rubbed Namgung Rin’s lower abdomen with my hand.
“Ah, aah, Master, I need to pee, I need to pee…! Ah.”
“I allow it. Pee. Of course, you know that your buttocks can’t stop, right?”
“Yes…!”
She began to urinate. A stream of bright yellow water drew a parabola in the air. The parabola swayed as she moved up and down.
“Oh. It even reached Shin Jong-woo’s body. It’s the pee of the woman you liked. Is it warm?”
“Sung Yoo… Keok!”
Shin Jong-woo’s head fell to the floor. After a few spasms, Shin Jong-woo passed away.
Namgung Rin would know too. She was looking directly at it, so there was no way she wouldn’t know. However, Namgung Rin didn’t react separately and finished urinating. She leaned her back against me and looked up at me. There was no sign of sadness on her face.
“Master. Kiss me. Kiss.”
She sent me a sticky gaze, using the words I had taught her, and begged for a kiss. I chuckled and kissed her while caressing her large breasts.
“Hooong, mm….”
Her vaginal walls wriggled and tightened around my dick. I couldn’t hold back and ejaculated inside her vagina.
