Chapter 168
Something surprising was revealed amid the cloud of dust that was dissipating. On impact, the Asura Divine Demon Blade left behind a crater that was fifty feet wide and over thirty feet deep. Everyone thought Baek Mu-Gun had been killed. Sure enough, there were no signs of him in the crater.
The Asura Cults Demonic Monarchs could not be happier, while the Loyal Heart Alliances martial arts masters could not help but be devoured by sorrow. What the two factions had in common was that they all thought that Mu-Gun was dead.
However, Asura Divine Demon Seob Go-Won looked quite worried. His attack clearly hit his target, but he still felt as if something was off. While he was staring at the crater with his guard still up, an explosion took place in the center of it. At the same time, Mu-Gun soared into the sky with golden Thunder God qi enveloping him.
The Loyal Heart Alliances martial arts masters looked relieved when they saw him. On the other hand, the expressions of the Asura Cults Demonic Monarchs became distorted, clearly shocked that Mu-Gun survived a direct hit from the Asura Divine Demon Blade.
Mu-Gun stepped out of the crater with the Flying Golden Shield in hand. Just before Go-Wons attack dropped on him, Mu-Gun raised the Flying Golden Shield over his head and blocked it. However, he still got buried deep in the ground due to the impact, so he had to jump back out.
The Asura Divine Demon Blade is incredibly powerful. If I did not know about it, I would have been in deep trouble.
The Nine Celestial Demons Sects Nine Great Demon Kings each possessed transcendental martial arts that borrowed the authority of the Demon God. The Asura Divine Demon Blade was Go-Wons. Transcendental martial arts, like Mu-Guns, were leagues beyond normal martial arts. Those unaware of how they worked would already be deep in trouble by the time they realized they were against such martial arts.
Fortunately, Mu-Gun was well aware of the Nine Celestial Demons Sects transcendental martial arts. Otherwise, he would have failed to immediately respond to Go-Wons attack.
Go-Won was dumbfounded. The Asura Divine Demon Blade hit Mu-Gun head-on, yet the young man looked unscathed. He just got buried in the ground for a brief moment. It should have been impossible for even the Thunder Gods successor to simply block the Asura Divine Demon Blade.
Well, youve had your turn. Its only proper that I attack you this time. Mu-Gun raised his sword.
Golden Thunder God qi exuded out of Mu-Guns sword and momentarily soared into the air. Not long after, a thousand golden Thunderbolt Swords rained down at lightning speed on the Asura Divine Demon. Mu-Gun had just executed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst, the fifth technique of the Heavenly Descent Thunder God Sword Art. The golden Thunderbolt Swords simultaneously crashed to the ground, causing deafening roars to resonate as they devastated everything within fifty feet of them.
On impact, the golden Thunderbolt Swords sent streaks of lightning in all directions, showcasing such overwhelming power that the Asura Cults five Demonic Monarchs froze in fear. Sensing that they could never defend against that attack if it fell on them, they immediately realized that Mu-Gun was an unstoppable force.
Nevertheless, when the golden lightning waves subsided, Go-Won came into view with blood-colored blades surrounding him. He was using the Asura Divine Demon Blade defensively.
Impressive.
Mu-Gun could not help but admire Go-Wons adaptability. Wasting no time, he immediately threw the Flying Golden Shield at him. A stream of golden Thunder God qi enveloped the Flying Golden Shield, forming an even larger shield that had a diameter of ten feet. flew like a ray of light toward the blood-colored blade surrounding Go-Won. With their roles now reversed, the golden shield and the blood-colored blades collided with a deafening roar.
The Asura Divine Demon immediately thrust the blood-colored blades outward to push the Flying Golden Shield back. However, the Flying Golden Shield, which rotated so fast that it seemed to have stopped in time, had outrageous destructive capabilities. Despite being imbued with the Demon Gods authority, the Asura Divine Demon Blade failed to withstand the incoming force.
This crazy fuc!
Go-Wons expression darkened due to the Flying Golden Shields ridiculous power. Increasing his internal energy output, the Asura Divine Demon Blade grew even larger and started emitting a blood-colored glow. It deflected the Flying Golden Shield and shot straight at Mu-Gun.
In response, Mu-Gun activated the Thunder God's Aerial Steps and soared into the air, avoiding the attack. He then thrust his sword toward Go-Won and fired a series of golden Thunderbolt Swords.
Not wanting to back down, Go-Won executed the Asura Divine Demon Blade again to block Mu-Guns offensive. As the golden Thunderbolt Sword and the Asura Divine Demon Blade repeatedly clashed and shattered, Go-Won began to be pushed back. It was not that he lacked power. He simply could not match Mu-Guns speed.
Mu-Gun could summon golden Thunderbolt Swords faster than Go-Won could release Asura Divine Demon Blades. As a result, the latter lost ground. Realizing that it was disadvantageous for him to face Mu-Gun head-on, he decided to secure the upper hand by using his movement art.
The Asura Divine Demon immediately activated the Asura Phantom Step, one of the Asura Cults ultimate skills. As soon as he activated it, he gained a hundred and eight phantoms that perfectly copied his appearance. Each of the phantoms moved and attacked Mu-Gun differently.
Finding the real Asura Divine Demon among the phantoms would be difficult using normal methods. Mu-Gun could attempt to wipe out all of the phantoms instead, but every time a phantom was destroyed, another simply appeared. The only way to break the Asura Phantom Step was to find and attack the real one, which was almost impossible.
However, Mu-Gun had the Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes, which he activated when the Asura Divine Demon used the Asura phantom Step. As his eyes turned gold, he pinpointed the real Asura Divine Demon among the hundred and eight phantoms. Ignoring the phantoms attacks, Mu-Gun then thrust his sword to launch a golden Thunderbolt Sword toward the real Asura Divine Demon.
Despite his surprise, Go-Won still managed to send out an Asura Divine Demon Blade in the nick of time, allowing him to defend against the golden Thunderbolt Sword.
The two attacks clashed violently close enough to Go-Won that the huge shockwave their collision caused swooped right over him. Nevertheless, although it managed to push him back, he quickly regained composure.
Still imbued with Thunder God qi, the Flying Golden Shield, swiftly flew toward Go-Won as he stood up straight. Already aware of how much power the shield packed, he unleashed the strongest Asura Divine Demon Blade he could create. The Flying Golden Shield and the Asura Divine Demon Blades collision deflected them back to where they came from, but it did not take long for them to rush toward each other and clash once more.
As the two attacks kept trying to overpower and break one another, Mu-Gun disappeared from Go-Wons view and appeared beside him in the blink of an eye. Wasting not even a second, Mu-Gun used the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike against Wo-Gon. Catching him by surprise, the golden lightning hand struck his chest and blasted him away.
The Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike could shatter an Absolute-Realm masters protective vajra qi like glass. Although Go-Won was a Supreme-Demonic-Realm master, even he would not come out unscathed from being directly hit by it.
Still, Go-Won was fine. Before the technique hit him, he managed to activate the Asura Shadow Slip Art, which protected the user by using his shadow as a shield. The technique effectively halved the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strikes destructive power.
Mu-Gun once again threw the Flying Golden Shield at Go-Won, who in turn swiftly used the Asura Divine Demon Blade to defend. However, Go-Won sustained a huge amount of shock earlier despite having reduced the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strikes destructive power. Hence, the Asura Divine Demon Blade he created was significantly weaker than the ones before.
The Asura Divine Demon Blade shattered into pieces when it collided with the Flying Golden Shield, which now quickly rampaged toward Go-Won. Go-Won quickly activated his movement art to avoid it, but Mu-Gun adjusted its trajectory and made it chase after him.
Despite constantly changing directions to evade, Wo-Gon could not shake the shield off his trail. At that moment, he realized that if he kept going on the defensive, he would eventually lose. He could not allow that to happen.
Its all or nothing now.
Go-Won stormed at Mu-Gun with the determination to die together. Narrowing the distance between them, he used all his internal energy to create another Asura Divine Demon Blade. As he did, the space above Mu-Guns head split in half again, and huge blood-colored blades dropped from it. Heavy pressure firmly restrained him as well, preventing him from moving even an inch as the blades piled up and fell on him.
Go-Won was using the same attack as he did earlier. Back then, Mu-Gun blocked it with the Flying Golden Shield, which he did not have in hand right now since he sent it flying. Mu-Gun could not evade it either due to the vacuum that the heavy pressure created. Even he would have difficulty destroying it. The only way out was to either block or destroy the blood-colored blades, but he wasnt certain any of those could be done.
As he began to have doubts, a golden beam of light soared from Mu-Gun and collided with the huge blood-colored blades falling on him. The space where the two collided warped and exploded, shaking the land within a radius of hundreds of feet. It was as if the clash caused an earthquake.
Eventually, the Asura Divine Demon Blades shattered and exploded. As it did, the golden beam of light soared a hundred feet into the sky and took the shape of a sword.
Mu-Gun had just used the Infinite Lightning Sword, the last and strongest technique of the Heavenly Descent Thunder God Sword Art. The Infinite Lightning Sword merged ten thousand Thunderbolt Swords to form one giant sword so perfect that it could cut and destroy anything.
Mu-Gun immediately swung the Infinite Lightning Sword toward Go-Won. People would have doubted that a sword that was more than a hundred feet tall could be used effectively, but no sword in the world was faster than the Infinite Lightning Sword. The huge golden sword fell on Go-Won faster than a ray of light, instantly splitting the ground it hit and unleashing a gigantic explosion.
The Asura Divine Demon activated the Asura Shadow Slip Art and dodged to the side as soon as he saw the Infinite Lightning Sword fall, allowing him to avoid being directly hit by it. However, the Infinite Lightning Sword did not end with a single attack. After hitting the ground, it split into ten thousand Thunderbolt Swords, which in turn spread to both sides at lightning speed. Go-Won used his movement art to the best of his capabilities, but he could not avoid all the incoming Thunderbolt Swords.
No! Go-Won screamed when he saw the golden Thunderbolt Swords flying toward him. However, his cry could not even slow them down as they pierced through him and ripped him to shreds, his pieces scattering all over the devastated ground.
