Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Chapter 415: Commencing Of The Full Plan (3)

<Transferring………ni…………………………………………da…………………………………………………………………………>

Pee—————it.

At the moment when a strong light was shot in front of him, Seol-Hwi saw it clearly.

The light blocking his view was split into hundreds, thousands of strands, creating an enormous gap in between.

If time had stopped and he hadn’t been aware of himself walking through the realm of the martial arts…

He wouldn’t have been able to perceive even the changes of time flowing swiftly.

The light that the system had been shooting at him all along was acting as a medium to obscure such phenomena.

‘Not a chance!’

Seol-Hwi opened his upper dantian even more, narrowing the flow of time to an extreme.

If the flow of time in daily life was said to be volume, he had increased its density to an extreme level.

It was not that time had actually stopped, but rather Seol-Hwi’s perception and sense.

In other words, it was correct to say that his recognition and cognitive abilities had greatly enhanced.

As one’s level increases, they hear sounds from farther away, feel an opponent’s presence more delicately, and see fast movements, akin to this principle.

Surpassing the Supreme Master level and Profound Demon, Seol-Hwi’s cognitive abilities, which had formed a small universe, were already bordering on godlike.

Thus, even in an extreme slowness incomparable to past time stops, he could control his body and manage his energy flow.

‘Ha, was that his face?’

A time of pause far denser than the frozen time from the options.

The appearance of the guardian lion in Seol-Hwi’s eyes was not that of a human.

Unlike his body, which still retained a human form, his face appeared like dark smoke, and where his eyes would be, there were blazing blue flames.

The same was true for Shin Yaja standing next to him.

His transparent body appeared as if it had been slashed with lines, with some parts not visible at all.

This moment confirmed that they were all influenced by the system.

‘I’ll give them a proper hit.’

Seol-Hwi assessed his surroundings and made a decision.

To break the pause of time, an unexpected situation must be created.

How the system would perceive it was unknown, but at least by targeting this entity called Big Dipper Star, the system would likely return to its original state.

Crack!

As soon as he launched a Fist Wind at the guardian warrior, the system responded aggressively.

As time gradually found its place, unfamiliar characters began to line up before his eyes.

[dkfekf……ejeфάτϓοιi2……ХЦЖЩзффάτϓ…….]

Shhhhhh.

For a brief moment, the burning guardian lion was slowly reverting to a human form.

And before his body fully returned to human, Seol-Hwi unleashed a strike.

The impact seemed to be reflected only then.

[Ding! The Big Dipper Star intervenes to halt the flow of time.] [Abnormal progression…… ERROR Error! Reverting time to its original state. ……Failed. Halting again. ……Failed. An incomprehensible result has been produced……. Continuing.]

Saaaaa—

Seol-Hwi, who had walked to the door, realized that the pause in time had disappeared.

The recluse struck by him was lying down.

[……This is not a normal progression. The existing constraints do not apply.]

‘Oh. The situation has improved a lot?’

Seol-Hwi’s expression brightened at the mention of the absence of previous constraints.

By intervening in the system’s time travel, he achieved an even better result.

In fact, the issue when dealing with the guardian was the intervention with low probability by the Absolute One.

Because of this, he was even considering going outside the system to fight the guy.

But due to the system’s problem, those constraints seemed to have been lifted.

- How on earth did you do that?

Meanwhile, Shin Yaja asked, glaring from the side.

Unlike Seol-Hwi, he seemed unable to grasp the situation properly.

The forced acceleration of time flow due to system intervention.

This was probably the first time he had seen a player defy it.

“I didn’t expect it… but this works.”

It was something that Seol-Hwi found quite intriguing. At the same time, it was a bit of a gamble.

Because he had drawn upon a power that could potentially break away from the system.

- How did you do it!

Shin Yaja asked urgently, like someone desperate for an explanation.

Seol-Hwi understood. Having lived inside this for so long, it must be the first time he was witnessing a situation like this.

“The flow of time, you see. Especially the decreasing numbers. I used to just accept it, but there were actually a lot of strange aspects.”

- So?

“If it’s being controlled by the system, I thought I could exploit that weakness and strike a blow. And it worked.”

- Are you saying you slowed down the flow of time more than what the system enforced?

“Yeah. Turns out, I can do it.”

- And you expect me to believe that just like this?

“That’s up to you. I’m just telling it like it is.”

Seol-Hwi looked at the fallen recluse with a smirk.

Perhaps the power of a god is something granted through the system.

Thus, ultimately, it cannot surpass the system.

In preparation for the fight with the Creator, or mentioned as the Absolute One, like Shin Yaja said, this was a perfect practice opponent.

- Hey, stay alert, no matter what. Even if you’re strong, you’ll get caught if you let your guard down.

“Don’t worry. I won’t be careless…”

Seol-Hwi couldn’t finish the conversation with Shin Yaja.

Incomprehensibly, more precisely, it started to move arbitrarily by the system.

[★Severe Warning★] <The Big Dipper Star governs death...> [★Absolute Danger★] <The Big Dipper Star that governs death...> ▶ Fight. ▷ Retreat. <You have selected 'Fight.'> <Are you sure you want to proceed like this? The North Star is...> <Final warning again...> <Proceeding as judged...>

He realized another thing upon seeing that.

The system can operate on its own without the player’s consent.

<You have chosen 'Fight.'> - Wishing you the best of luck.

At least by the so-called god within this place.

[You are an ignorant and arrogant player.]

[You have made a regrettable choice despite several warnings. However, you cannot turn back time now.]

[Ultimately, you will meet a miserable end due to that choice.]

[Welcome to hell.]

“Hey, he’s grumbling about something right from the start?”

Seol-Hwi asked while looking at Shin Yaja standing beside him.

- He is the kind of guy who likes things like that.

“Ah, I see.”

Seol-Hwi nodded.

- More importantly, what kind of martial arts did you use to stop the flow of time?

“It’s not martial arts. It’s enlightenment.”

- Enlighte, …what?

Gugugung!

It was then.

The walls on the left and right, and the building in front, collapsed, sinking to the ground, or even further below.

It was like a collapse phenomenon moving as if planned.

Whoosh!

And from the collapsed building’s floor, gigantic flames soared up.

Not only that, but sawdust was flying around as embers, and even the sky was as red as a crimson sunset.

It was a scene reminiscent of a hell in imagination.

“Hey. This is kind of fun, isn’t it?”

- ……Fun?

“It’s kind of refreshing.”

Shin Yaja looked with a bewildered expression. He couldn’t understand Seol-Hwi’s reaction, having once felt tense when first faced with such a situation himself.

But Seol-Hwi’s words were sincere.

At least, this much didn’t even count as something to fear.

The numerous memories experienced in the process of merging demonic qi and justice sects’ martial arts.

When he couldn’t control the rampaging demonic qi and his whole body was torn apart, he felt an indescribable fear.

“Looks like he’s about to do something… Oh? He’s getting up now?”

Songhwa slowly rose from behind.

But what first caught his eye was not a peaceful world, but hell itself.

“What is this…?”

Flames soaring all around.

And the sky dyed a crimson red.

No warriors were in sight, only scorching flames enveloping the surroundings.

“In the end, did I die and come to the afterlife…?”

“Get a grip, kid. You’re still in the living world.”

Seol-Hwi turned around to reassure him. Of course, hearing that didn’t make the situation any less alarming.

“Over there, behind… behind you…”

Just then, the guardian lion was slowly rising.

He had doubled in height, body, and face compared to before.

The aura he exuded was likewise.

[Human. Do you realize the magnitude of what you have done?]

It was a sound similar to a whisper, like a transmitted voice.

“…….”

[Your arrogance has brought about this calamity. You will now experience hell.]

“…….”

[There is nowhere to escape, no one to help. You will remain here and suffer eternally.]

“…….”

[You will now witness with open eyes what happens when a mere human defies a god.]

“Hey.”

Seol-Hwi called out to Shin Yaja.

- Yeah.

“Does he always talk this much?”

- His instructions tend to be long.

As Shin Yaja said, a few more words followed, and Seol-Hwi interpreted it as him being quite angry, so he waited patiently until then.

Bang!

Just as the warning seemed to have ended, the Big Dipper Star struck the ground, and Songhwa, who was observing his opponent with a serious expression, reacted quickly.

“Get out of the way!”

His concern became a reality.

A massive explosion erupted where Seol-Hwi was.

“Ugh…”

Songhwa was horrified by the sight.

The power that shook the ground and the thunder that battered his ears were incomparable to any man-made thunderbolt.

It swallowed Seol-Hwi whole in an instant.

“To be so tragically… sent to the heavens…”

As Songhwa’s trembling voice leaked out.

“Hey, I’m not dead yet.”

“…!”

Within the gradually receding flames, he saw Seol-Hwi waving his hand.

Somehow, it seemed that the flames had not harmed him at all.

But the relief was short-lived.

“Ah, look ahead!”

[…You!]

With a voice resonating like a drum, the distance was swiftly closed by the recluse warrior.

Thunk!

He delivered a powerful strike, taking advantage of his opponent’s carelessness, and succeeded.

Seol-Hwi was sent flying towards the rising flames.

That was not the end.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The recluse warrior began to strike with relentless force.

The area where the flames surged seemed like a barrier, preventing anything from being pushed beyond it.

Perhaps because of this, each punch from the old man brought a storm, causing the ground to collapse, and the seismic shockwaves were transmitted directly to Songhwa’s body.

‘It’s the end…….’

This time, he thought there was no way to survive.

Rustle.

The recluse warrior’s attack paused briefly. Stepping back a few paces from that spot.

It was because he saw Seol-Hwi hanging limp.

Fwoosh.

Was it an intention to mark the finale of the fight?

A strong flame began to form in the fist of the old man.

Something never seen before. A purplish ash color.

Songhwa thought it was the hellfire that did not exist in the present world.

‘I have to get out of here. Isn’t there a way?’

Songhwa suddenly came to his senses.

Still, he was the benefactor who had saved him.

Even if he had died, he had to retrieve his body intact.

Only then could he repay the benefactor who helped him.

But in his current physical state, he couldn’t think of a technique to overcome the crisis.

“……Kuh. Cough. Cough.”

“Ah!”

The man coughed up blood with a groan.

Fortunately, he was still alive.

His body was slumped, but he hadn’t given up hope yet.

“How is it, Songhwa? Krrk……. Scary, right? Cough. Cough.”

“…….”

“Afraid of being left alone again, aren’t you?”

Moreover, he was speaking to him, with blood still in his mouth.

Gu gu gu guk.

The force was enough to crack the ground even before the fist was swung.

The guardian seemed to have finished preparing.

“Get, get away…”

Swoooosh!

The recluse warrior’s fist, filled with the hellfire, was finally swung.

As soon as that strike connected with Seol-Hwi, the hellfire caused a chaotic evaporation of everything around it.

Craaaash!

But within that, another brilliance was born.

It was a bolt of lightning charging unhesitatingly into the hellfire.

Moreover, a clear breeze was seen rising from below.

‘Ah…!’

Songhwa felt a shiver.

The common wind, an essence of nature.

That faint wind pierced through the otherworldly hellfire so effortlessly, scattering the opponent’s qi with an icy breeze.

The indomitable greenery of the Qingcheng Sect unfurled before them.

- Ah, Clear Cloud Red Sky Sword…

Songhwa, despite not hearing Shin Yaja’s voice, felt similarly.

This was not the martial arts of the Demonic Cult.

This presence, remaining in one place with a grand flow, was commonly referred to as Taoist martial arts by the Taoists of the murim world.
