Myst, Might, Mayhem

Chapter 482 – The Six Demons (1) Whoosh!

A huge, pure white being accompanied by a storm that seemed capable of freezing everything with a single wing beat.

It was a Great Peng larger than one of the peaks of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

The appearance of a being with incomparable vastness to other evil spirits and monsters.

This brought another silence of despair.

Even with the tremendous majesty of the Heavenly Demon, they had already been gripped by anxiety due to the countless monsters.

-Woosh!

Danmok In-ho burst into laughter and shouted while looking at the Great Peng that had descended upon the world, flashing its eerily red eyes: “Hahahahahaha!

The White Great Peng Demon King, one of the Six Demons who turned the North Sea into a land of cold ice and death, has descended.

Realize your own weakness and kneel!

” Despite this arrogant cry, not a single person refuted.

This was because after the appearance of this huge being, the Great Peng, no, the White Great Peng Demon King, not only had the air turned cold, but the demonic energy that seemed about to overturn everything in all directions was pressing down on them, and people were bleeding here and there, unable to withstand the pressure.

-Drip!

“…… What is this?

” “Nosebleed?

” “Bl-blood is flowing from the eyes too!

” Those with weak inner energy levels were already fully affected.

Of course, it wasn’t different for the masters either.

They too were experiencing their inner energy boiling due to the pressure of the demonic energy, like a great sea covering all directions.

“This energy is unbelievable.

” “The energy emitted by that huge Great Peng is suffocating.

” “Amitabha Buddha.

This is a calamity.

” This was no longer a battle between the righteous and evil factions.

It was a Human-Demon War, no, a great calamity that put the existence of the martial world at stake.

A war is something that should be preventable from the start, but can this really be stopped by human power?

“The Six Demons……” Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes sharpened.

The Six Demons.

These beings, called the six kings of evil spirits and monsters, were infinitely close to divine beasts.

Among these beings who were just about to transcend the laws of nature, Mok Gyeong-un had met two.

The Assassin King of the Sea Gu Hwan Cheon-gu in the secret vault of the Corpse Blood Valley, and the Hundred-Faced King Golden Nine-Tailed Fox in the Imperial Palace.

They were all tremendous beings that the Mok Gyeong-un of that time couldn’t even touch a hair of.

And these beings hadn’t even exerted their proper power.

The Assassin King of the Sea was in a weakened state due to being sealed, and the Hundred-Faced King was in human form and didn’t exert proper power, yet both overwhelmed Mok Gyeong-un.

But now, for the first time, he was facing one of the Six Demons in its complete form.

-Woosh!

Tremendous demonic energy that made the skin tingle.

Cold energy that turned the surrounding area and the Ten Thousand Great Mountains into winter in an instant with just a wing beat.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas states that a being that has reached the extreme of spirit beasts has touched the edge of natural law and is no different from a natural disaster.

The White Great Peng Demon King before them now was precisely such a being.

It possessed overwhelming power capable of instantly devastating an entire region alone.

At Mok Gyeong-un’s now serious gaze, Danmok In-ho, Mok Gan’s avatar, sneered and said: “Do you realize it now?

Incarnation.

That your fate is no different from the humans gathered here, like a candle in the wind……” -Stab!

Before Danmok In-ho could finish speaking, Mok Gyeong-un’s finger pierced into the eyeball on his forehead.

“Kuk!

” As the third eye was grabbed, Danmok In-ho convulsed in pain.

Mok Gyeong-un thought it was better to locate the main body first rather than be swayed by the situation he had created.

Mok Gyeong-un tried to grasp the main body’s will through the third eye.

If there were no more avatars, it would be difficult to deceive any further.

The location of the main body is…… ‘Could it be?

’ Not far away.

Very close.

Then his will echoed: -There’s no need to search.

I too am here.

His will was felt from the midst of the countless evil spirits and monsters, passing through them.

Certainly, there were no more avatars…… -Flash!

Throb!

At that moment, along with a strong headache like lightning striking, the will tried to disperse.

What on earth is this phenomenon?

Unlike before, now that the level of will had increased, he was confident he could find it even if the other tried to resist.

But something was blocking it.

As he tried to hold onto it to not lose the other’s will, -Crack!

The third eyeball he was holding burst.

‘What?

’ Mok Gyeong-un was puzzled.

Having become one with the will of the Demon King and attained a complete personality, he prided himself on surpassing that level even if Mok Gan had lived for a long time.

But in the middle, something unknown that surpassed the level of the main body intervened.

And that something, though only for an instant, felt very familiar.

Mok Gyeong-un glared with sharpened eyes at the White Great Peng Demon King and the countless evil spirits and monsters behind it.

The main body was there.

‘Do I have to cut through them in the end?

’ -Shing!

Mok Gyeong-un then drew the demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword from its scabbard.

The moment he drew the sword, the attention of everyone who had been shrinking from the great calamity unfolding before their eyes turned to him.

It was just drawing a sword, but the moment he did so, sharp sword energy surged in all directions, and the cold energy rushing towards the Ten Thousand Great Mountains stopped in an instant.

The leaders of each faction couldn’t help but marvel at this sight.

‘He cut through the Great Peng’s energy pressing down on the surroundings with sword energy.

Has that person truly reached the state of being the sword itself?

’ It was the true realm of unity between sword and self.

Being able to turn even the surrounding energy into sword energy meant that everything was a sword.

Therefore, the leaders of each sect had to acknowledge.

That he was likely the only one here who could face this being that was no different from a natural disaster.

But, -Shudder!

At that moment, everyone at the front stepped back in bewilderment.

This was because they saw the White Great Peng Demon King raising the corner of its mouth eerily the moment Mok Gyeong-un drew his sword.

Although it was an evil spirit and monster, and its expression should have been hard to read, it was clearly smiling, and an incomprehensibly chilling malice could be felt.

It was hard to call it fighting spirit, rather it seemed closer to interest.

It was at that very moment.

-Crack!

The White Great Peng Demon King spread its dazzlingly white wings wide.

Everyone gasped and had their attention stolen by the wings that simultaneously held beauty and ominousness.

Then, as the White Great Peng Demon King flapped its huge, widely spread wings forward, -Whoosh!

With just a few wing beats, a blizzard rushed forward with wind pressure.

However, this blizzard did not surge towards the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Rather, the cold energy of the blizzard concentrated right in front of where the wings were flapping, creating a huge sphere with a violently swirling interior.

“…… This is impossible.

” The pupils of Ho Tae-gang, the King of Destruction, on the highest peak at the very front, trembled.

The energy contained in that huge sphere was truly earth-shattering, and even more shocking was that it contained a blizzard and storm.

Can this huge Great Peng even condense natural phenomena?

-Roar!

The White Great Peng Demon King raised its beak upwards and roared.

With this, the sphere of storm and blizzard that had taken complete form through wing beats then surged towards the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, splitting the earth.

-Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

The eyes of all those watching this scene became dazed.

How on earth could one avoid that?

It was literally no different from a natural disaster.

It was at that very moment.

-Swish!

Mok Gyeong-un took a stance of striking downwards while holding the demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword upside down.

At that moment, something happened that made everyone’s eyes widen.

-Woong!

“Th-that is?

” “A sword?

” An utterly transparent, huge formless sword nearly thirty jang long appeared in the air directly opposite the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and pierced into the earth.

-Boom!

-Rumble!

“Th-the ground!

” With a tremendous roar, soil and sand fragments spurted like erupting lava, and along with this, the mountain peaks at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains shook greatly as if an earthquake had struck.

Simultaneously, the huge sphere of storm and blizzard rushing in collided with the formless sword that had pierced the ground floor, split in half, and the cold energy concentrated inside exploded.

-Boom, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The explosion of cold energy created multiple rainbow-like layers, freezing even the air in the void.

And the aftermath of the explosion that had split in two then collided with both sides of the mountain peaks where the war was taking place, collapsing parts of the peaks and freezing their surroundings.

-Rumble, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

-Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!

Soil and ice chunks collapsing like an avalanche.

Everyone couldn’t close their mouths, their faces hardened at this sight.

It happened before their eyes, but it was hard to believe.

As if immortals from the fairy realm were engaging in battle, a single exchange of attack and defense was collapsing mountains and even changing natural phenomena.

This had already surpassed the realm of what they could handle.

-Roar!

Just then, the White Great Peng Demon King let out a roar.

Its red eyes drew a crescent moon so eerily, but it was clearly a smile.

It seemed to be enjoying this situation.

It was a fighting spirit towards Mok Gyeong-un who had blocked its almighty power.

‘Should we consider this fortunate?

’ The warriors under Mok Gyeong-un were naturally full of trust in their lord, but the warriors of the Righteous Alliance and Evil Alliance were feeling contradictory and strange emotions.

It was a sense of relief that such a monster capable of facing a being like a natural disaster existed among humans, regardless of righteous or evil factions, and a contradictory fear.

If this great calamity-like situation hadn’t occurred, how would the war have concluded?

They didn’t even want to imagine.

However, the former feeling was stronger now.

Mok Gyeong-un was the only counterforce against that monster akin to a natural disaster.

Therefore, although they couldn’t voice it, from some point they couldn’t help but root for Mok Gyeong-un.

-Poof!

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un’s form split the air like lightning.

“The Heavenly Demon has moved!

” “Is he really going to face it head-on?

” Everyone couldn’t help but feel tense and couldn’t take their eyes off the front.

Whether knowing or not knowing their feelings, Mok Gyeong-un’s gaze was focused solely on finding the White Great Peng Demon King’s weakness.

‘I need to hurry.

’ Mok Gyeong-un thought it was meaningless to exchange attacks with it from afar.

It was clear that if he didn’t deal with it quickly, greater damage would occur.

However, Mok Gyeong-un, who was flying his form, had to stop midway.

-Flinch!

Mok Gyeong-un, who had turned his form, then sensed something and swung Evil Commandment Sword in that direction.

Then, another huge formless sword appeared and extended upwards.

-Woosh!

-Whoosh!

Simultaneously, a huge pillar of fire with intense heat extended upwards and then collided with the formless sword, splitting.

After splitting the pillar of fire, the ground turned black from the heat, and then it collided with the White Great Peng Demon King’s cold energy, -Hiss!

Hazy steam shot up into the sky, then obscured the sun and darkened the earth.

Then heavy rain poured down from the thick dark clouds like a downpour.

-Swoosh!

It was a rain so heavy it was difficult to open one’s eyes.

Everyone couldn’t help but stick out their tongues at the disasters occurring with each collision.

Then the earth began to rumble loudly.

-Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

A huge shadow was seen from the direction where the pillar of fire had flown in.

It had a gigantic body nearly a hundred jang tall, and despite the rain, it had a golden mane fluttering, a tiger-like head, and a tail that seemed to be woven with hundreds of blades.

Seeing this, Mok Gyeong-un could immediately tell what this being was.

‘The Lion-Grasping King.

’ Another of the Six Demons had revealed itself.

As another king of evil spirits and monsters, known to be difficult to gather in one place, descended, the advancing evil spirits and monsters bowed their heads as if showing reverence.

‘As expected.

’ He had assumed the worst since the White Great Peng Demon King, one of the Six Demons, had descended.

But that wasn’t the end.

-Boom!

Rumble!

Boom!

Rumble!

‘This…… can’t be.

’ The eyes of everyone watching the front widened as if about to tear.

From the northwest direction, a shadow even more gigantic than a mountain peak was walking towards this place.

It was so huge and heavy that with each step, earthquakes occurred, shaking the mountain peaks, and some even collapsed, causing landslides.

-Rumble!

However, these avalanche-like phenomena were already of no concern to anyone.

“That…… What on earth is that?

” “Is it a devil risen from hell?

” Two sharp horns stood out as if recalling a great devil risen from the Avici Hell, known as the deepest of the Eight Hot Hells.

Steam flowing from its flaring nostrils obscured its face like fog.

-Boom!

As it took one step, flames erupted from the splitting ground.

Geothermal heat was rising, unable to withstand.

This huge evil spirit and monster with two horns, which appeared last, was already overwhelming the two Six Demons that had appeared earlier with just its presence.

-Grip!

Mok Gyeong-un’s hand holding the demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword tightened.

After learning about the Six Demons, there was something he had read in an old book in the Primal Killing Pavilion.

Long ago, there was a huge ox-shaped evil spirit and monster born from tens of thousands of years of earth energy twisting, and its power shook heaven and earth, so numerous immortals sealed that being through great sacrifice.

The immortals called this evil spirit and monster the Great Strength King because it possessed the highest power that was difficult to break, but the author of the old book called it this: [The Great Sage Who Levels the Heavens, the Ox Demon King]
