Episode 240. Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol (3)
“What are you going to do now? I guess you have a subordinate like me. You’d better hurry and get them out.”
The Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol spoke leisurely, as if he had completely gained the upper hand.
It was natural for him to show his composure. As martial artists who focus on training with spirit and energy, they are vulnerable to methods of attacking gods, and in today’s world where the very existence of Yi Mae-mangryang has become rare, the means of influencing ghosts, spirits, and spirits are rare. In the current martial arts world, there are almost no methods to properly deal with sorcery or Yi Mae-mangryang, except for the Buddhist scriptures that contain the function of exterminating demons.
Even though it was the Ganggi (罡氣) that was exclusive to those who had reached the Hwagyeong, it was not omnipotent. It was clear that Ganggi was an extremely concentrated crystallization of thought that could materialize mental images, but if it was limited to simply doubling the power of cutting, tearing, and cutting, it would not work on the high-ranking Yi Maemangryang. It might be different if it was a sorcery.
The Cheonmasingyo has been fighting against various forces that have tried to subdue them since a very long time ago. From the imperial army during the Ming sect, to the monks of the Sunhaeng clan who were displeased with the use of forbidden arts and the accumulation of ranks through the method of reversing the heavens, to the martial artists who had conflicts for their own reasons…
However, the reason why Cheonma Shingyo has survived until now is because the previous leaders were that powerful. Most of them were skilled in both martial arts and magic – based on the Cheonma Shingong they had learned from their predecessors, they quickly raised their magical skills to the highest level, and they use magic without hesitation, breaking away from the level of humans. And they even have a lineage that has been passed down from generation to generation.
There were two main types of magic spells used by the demons of the Reverse Heaven.
The most common form was that of being entangled in a contract with a food spirit. This was the case when the two-faced men who had been meaninglessly killing time while trapped in the retrograde dragon formation could no longer bear the frustration and gave in. At this time, since the life of the master was over, they could not avoid eternal destruction, so most of them made a new contract with the next generation. Since the whole process of releasing and recapturing the food spirit took place within the retrograde dragon formation, escape was impossible. If the capabilities of the next generation were lacking, they would be trapped in the retrograde dragon formation again. The two-faced men and three-faced men who Yeon Mu-yeol had called out earlier were an example of this.
There were also cases where the radiation of the reverse sky was directly created with magic and sorcery. Originally, the two-faced man was created with negative emotions such as resentment, hatred, and ill will as its core. Of course, in order to properly have the rank and become a being that exercises power, a high density of thoughts is needed, and therefore it takes quite a long time.
One of the first Yeokcheon Bangsa, who was called the famous sect leader of the past, realized that he could create the Imaemangryang by using the Ma Ganggi (魔罡氣) that contained the will of the magic energy as its core. At that time, after several trials and errors, he created the Ghost King (鬼王) by mobilizing all kinds of magic. An entity that belongs to the magic Cheonma Shingong itself.
In other words, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Ghost King shares the same history as the Cheonmasingyo. The rank he has naturally accumulated over the years he has lived is enormous. Not only that, his entire body is covered in the golden spells that the first cult leader had applied, so that most spells do not even scratch him. That was the reason why Yeonmuyeol had only used the spell to protect the gods on Samduiljogeong earlier.
Also, the blunt weapon that the Ghost King is holding – a club covered in thorns – was made by refining the magic energy. It has the power to destroy not only most magic techniques, but even the self-defense energy of a Hwagyeong master.
It is overwhelming to both the radiators and the martial artists. As such, the strongest being among the followers was none other than the Ghost King, but since he was affiliated with the magic Cheonma Shingong itself, he was of little help in raising the rank of the radiators of the Reverse Heaven. On the other hand, as long as the lineage of Cheonma Shingong continues, there is no danger of extinction, so the past cult leaders regarded the Ghost King as a kind of guardian deity.
Anyway.
As the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol, it was the best move he could make. It was not that he had no more followers, but it was a hassle to protect each and every one of them’s gods, and the Ghost King in particular was a being that could drain a lot of psychic power just by summoning him. Since he was an opponent, he had to leave room to use additional magic. In fact, he was showing some leeway because he thought it was like pulling out a knife to kill a cow while slaughtering a chicken.
Meanwhile.
Dang-myung was having a quick conversation with Shik-shin Cheong-gyeong.
‘Is that all?’
[That’s not true. However, there probably aren’t any more with that level of rank. In particular, that one that looks like an evil spirit is much stronger than the ones we saw in the Topgeukrapmagan. Its entire body is wrapped in unknown magic, and it seems to be the type that renders the other radiators’ magic useless. Unless it’s a high-ranking Yi Maemangryang, it won’t be able to cause even a little bit of damage.]
‘The monster’s side.’
[The Samduiljogeung (三頭一足鷹) is a famous guy among the evil spirits. I didn’t know he would act as a food spirit in a place like this… … . He has been in charge of the three disasters since ancient times. That’s why he was even revered by the people. Since he can call down disasters of water, fire, and wind at will, he must be skilled in controlling the energy of those areas. Just like how I control poison.]
‘So, are you saying we can deal with it?’
[… … You’re saying something obvious. Do you even know what level I am in the Topgeukrapmagan?]
‘Okay then.’
As soon as he confirmed his hearing confidence, he stopped talking. It was obvious that he would not lose to the Demon Lord in a fight without the intervention of magic or illusions.
“Is that all you have to believe in?”
“… … I’m more than capable of dealing with you.”
Even if you use a high-level trick, in front of the Ghost King━ That was when the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol continued speaking in disbelief.
“Hear. Manifest.”
Saaaaaaaaaa━
As soon as the words of the obvious came out, a dreary feeling and a fog-like thing spread out from his body. However, the color was black. It was only in an instant that the black fog that had been moving around in a curved manner took shape.
[This rank is… … !]
The food spirit of the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol, Samduiljogeung, was the first to sense something unusual and tried to fly up. However, before he could even kick the ground, there was an entity that fell on him.
[It starts with you.]
Something that covered its entire body with black scales, while spitting out the unique wave of thought of Imaemangryang, grabbed the three necks of Samduiljogeung with its mouth at once. It was a snake so large that it could be called a Daemang.
Quagmirah━!
The two forms of the two Imamangryang are entangled, creating a deep furrow on the ground. Although Imamangryang was a spiritual being, it was only when he exercised his power as an incarnation that he became materialized, and thus influenced the objects around him.
[dare……!]
Samduiljok-eung lived for a long time, fearing natural disasters. When had he ever experienced such humiliation? Not only was his attempt to fly aborted, but Samduiljok-eung, who was dragged around with his neck bitten in a humiliating manner, became indignant and tried to sink his only sharp claw into Cheonggyeong’s torso. In an instant, several attacks and defenses took place. However, Cheonggyeong dodged most of the attacks with graceful gestures, and the attacks that he allowed to pass by did not penetrate his black scales. Only the pitiful dirt floor and the surrounding buildings were continuously blown up.
It was natural that the attitude of the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol changed when he witnessed that scene.
“You’re calling that kind of being a food spirit… …? That guy who’s not even a radioactive person?”
Unlike before, there was a shock in his voice. As a radiant being of the opposite side, he was directly feeling how great the level of hearing was. It was at that moment that a reasonable question flashed through his mind. If it was a being of that level, there was no way the Four-Eyed Divine Dog would have missed it… …?
“Did you say the Demon King? Shouldn’t we send that guy away too? If things continue like this, that monster will be destroyed forever.”
“… … .”
Yeonmuyeol couldn’t answer rashly. The other person was right. The superiority of the two entangled and fighting enemies was clear. The reason for the extreme difference was none other than their rank. The three heads were going crazy, but it wouldn’t last long. Even now, they were pouring out water, fire, and wind from their mouths, but they couldn’t penetrate the fog that the giant black snake was spewing out.
Clear Disadvantage━ However, that doesn’t mean we can send the Ghost King right away. Even if the Ghost King joins, there’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to defeat the blue-horned snake.
“Demon King. Defeat him.”
Yeonmuyeol made a quick decision. Even if it was a being of that caliber, it was nothing more than a food spirit. In other words, if you just cut off its master’s lifeline, it would automatically perish.
[Respect, life]
Unlike the naturally occurring illusions, the ghost king’s answer was curt and he kicked the ground with a thud, as if his mind was not clear.
The next moment, the ghost king, who had reached Dang-myeong’s front with a gust of wind, swung a fierce-looking club.
‘… … Hurry up.’
Since the senses were also spreading out a spiderweb-like energy in a dense manner, it was possible for Deungmyungmyeong to evade with the new method of shadowing without delay. It was certainly difficult to deal with the two-faced Yi Maemangryang. It seemed as if they had mastered a peerless new method, and their movements were swift, and ordinary attacks did not work.
‘And this club too.’
Once again, he dodged the attack that was coming at him and thought to himself. It seemed to be created through the refining technique of the Demonic Energy that the Demonic Cult’s Woo Sa Hyukryun Joongseon had demonstrated. It was not something that could be simply trusted and accepted as a self-defense energy, the Dragon Scale.
After several attempts at evasion, he finally managed to take advantage of the gap created by his sword attack. However, a crimson light appeared from the body of the Demon King and he absorbed the sword attack wave. The Demon King hesitated for a moment and then attacked again. It didn’t seem to have any significant impact.
‘It’s difficult to spread ripples.’
Among the swordsman’s martial arts, the wave of the sword called Gyeong (驚) has the ability to scatter the soul – that is, to scatter the gods. The wave pattern of the Balgyeongcho is created by tightening the interval of the wave and finally unifying it into one, and by instilling the will to the extent of manifesting strong energy, its power is greatly increased.
The power is certain, but it consumes a lot of internal power and mental strength. Considering the state of the Demonic Cult leader, it is true that I do not want to use it. It might have been better to wait for the Food God Hearing to join.
But the sight of the demon leader taking out a bunch of Gohwangji talismans and muttering something like a spell was very unsettling.
‘I have a history, so I can hear it.’
It was obvious that he had made a decision. It was also the characteristic temperament of the Sacheondang family that they wanted to avoid leaving any regrets.
Hurrruk!
Suddenly, a dark green flame burst out and wrapped around the snow-white blade of the dagger, Baekseol. It was the manifestation of the sword. Yuan Ming, who had stopped dodging, put his sword against the club that the Ghost King was swinging. Of course, he had no intention of competing with him. What he was holding seemed to be a refined magic energy. If he had not refined it, it was only natural that he would be pushed back.
Dang-myeong, who had been holding his sword in time with the King of Demons’ swinging motion, suddenly steps back. A small gap inevitably occurs.

That moment was enough.
Seomgang (殲罡)━
Suddenly, a long red line is engraved in the air. It divides the landscape into upper and lower parts, as if it had always been there. It is the most perfect horizontal attack aimed at the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol. The distance of dozens of shots is meaningless.
however.
[Cult leader. Protect.]
Between the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol and Dangmyeongmyeong, the Ghost King had already blocked the sword. The Ghost King’s entire body was dyed in a crimson light as he held out a thorny club made of refined magic energy. It seemed that some magic latent in his body had been activated. Could it be that he had repaired the weapon damaged by the Seomgang?
‘What a pity.’
The sword of conversion was blocked, but that was the extent of the impression that was obvious. He didn’t expect that he could do anything to the Demon Lord with this one move anyway. He only intended to delay or stop the magic activation, or to bring down the Demon King to buy some time. At least one goal was achieved.
‘There’s no need to expand the scope. There’s no need to worry about running away.’
He holds the dagger Snow White in his hands with his mind in his hands.
It was a sign that the ripples of the Balgyeongcho were about to unfold.
At the same time, it was also at this time that the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol completed the magic technique he had been preparing for a long time.
