Chapter 185
Baek Mu-Gun, having safely exited Beiming Island's iceberg area, prioritized assessing the damage incurred by the members of the Beihai Ice Palace.
"About a hundred people couldn't escape; they were close to the collapsing icebergs and trapped underneath," Beigong Xue informed Mu-Gun.
Hearing this, Mu-Gun couldn't help but express remorse. "I'm truly sorry. I was so focused on defeating the Demonic Monarchs that I didn't consider the aftermath of my attacks."
"It's alright. While it's unfortunate they were sacrificed, I understand it was necessary to defeat the demonic practitioners of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect," Beigong Xue reassured.
"Thank you for your understanding. Also, it's not over yet. I sense a substantial number of energy sources on the outskirts of Beiming Island. It seems the Nine Celestial Demons Sect's demonic practitioners have gathered," Mu-Gun disclosed.
"Given that even the Nine Celestial Demons Sect's practitioners have come forward, it seems they may have some inkling of your identity," Beigong Xue speculated.
"I anticipated that to some extent since I wiped out a Demonic Monarch and their squads before coming to Beihai."
"Do they already know that the eight Demonic Monarchs have fallen?"
"If that were the case, they would have retreated immediately. I believe those Demonic Monarchs would have ordered the Beihai Ice Palace's members to attack me upon confirming my identity as the Thunder God's successor. Then, they would have swiftly retreated to join forces waiting outside," Mu-Gun explained.
"They probably planned to attack and kill you after you became exhausted dealing with the Beihai Ice Palace's members."
"That's my assumption as well. However, they couldn't retreat in time due to the unexpected variablethe Beihai Glacier Zombies. Thanks to that, I managed to eliminate the Demonic Monarchs.
Without the Beihai Glacier Zombies, the Spindle Sect's Higher Demons would have obstructed Mu-Gun instead of engaging with the Beihai Glacier Zombies. In this scenario, the Demonic Monarchs would have exploited this momentary diversion to withdraw towards the area housing the Spindle Demonic Battalion.
However, the absence of the Higher Demons, owing to the Beihai Glacier Zombies' intervention, left the Demonic Monarchs without the necessary cover to retreat. Consequently, Mu-Gun was able to eliminate them without hindrance.
"Then our next move is to eliminate the Spindle Sect's demonic practitioners stationed outside Beiming Island, correct?"
"That's right. With the Demonic Monarchs and Higher Demons dealt with, the fight should be in our favor without much difficulty,"
With both the Eight Spindle Monarchs and the Higher Demons eliminated, the Spindle Sect's power was halved. Despite the presence of the Spindle Divine Demon, the Beihai Ice Palace had formidable assets in Mu-Gun, the Thunder God's successor, and the twelve Beihai Glacier Zombies.
Even the Spindle Divine Demon, impressive as he might be, faced a daunting challenge against this formidable lineup. It was uncertain whether he could even contend with Mu-Gun alone. If Mu-Gun managed to defeat the Spindle Divine Demon, dealing with the remaining demonic practitioners would likely be a relatively straightforward task.
Then, lets start attacking them right away without any delay.
Beigong Xue swiftly informed the members of the Beihai Ice Palace about the gathering of Nine Celestial Demons Sect practitioners outside Beiming Island and promptly ordered an attack. Without hesitation, the Beihai Ice Palace members prepared for battle and moved towards the outskirts of Beiming Island, acknowledging Beigong Xue's command as a natural course of action.
This immediate response indicated their recognition of Beigong Xue and the new patriarch of the Beihai Ice Palace.
The revelation of their clan heads being demonic practitioners from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, Beigong Xue's ability to control the former patriarchs as jiangshis, and her display of strength equivalent Absolute Realm solidified her position as the Beihai Ice Palace Patriarch. Both Mu-Gun and Beigong Xue joined the Beihai Ice Palace members, with the Beihai Glacier Zombies leading the way.
Meanwhile, Wi Geuk-Sang, the Spindle Divine Demon standing by outside Beiming Island, sensed something unusual through the deafening roar and ground vibrations emanating from within.
Although he contemplated checking inside, Geuk-Sang trusted the Eight Spindle Monarchs and opted to wait, believing they would have enough time to escape if the person accompanying Beigong Xue was indeed the Thunder God's successor.
As the echoes of battle subsided within Beiming Island, Geuk-Sang understood that the conflict had concluded. While he couldn't ascertain the outcome, he assumed the Eight Spindle Monarchs and the Beihai Ice Palace members had overcome Beigong Xue and her companion. Relieved at the swift resolution, Geuk-Sang anticipated the arrival of the Eight Spindle Monarchs.
However, when people emerged from deep within Beiming Island, Geuk-Sang's expectations shattered. Instead of the Eight Spindle Monarchs and Higher Demons, Beigong Xue, presumed to be deceased, stood alongside an unfamiliar young man. At the sight of this young man, Geuk-Sang recognized him as Mu-Gun, convinced that he was indeed the Thunder God's successor.
Mu-Gun's formidable energy, comparable to his own, left no doubt. Glancing further, the twelve figures emanating an aura above the Absolute Realm caught Geuk-Sang's attention. Sensing the absence of life in them, he swiftly identified them as jiangshis. freewebno(v)el.com
It was because of them, huh.
Then, Geuk-Sang realized that the Eight Spindle Monarchs were defeated because of the twelve jiangshis. His expression stiffened. The Eight Spindle Monarchs were the least of his problems. Geuk-Sang was not able to guarantee his own life either. Geuk-Sang shifted his focus to Mu-Gun, recognizing him as the most formidable and perilous presence among the group.
"You are the Thunder God's successor, aren't you?"
"And you must be the Spindle Divine Demon," Mu-Gun responded.
"The Eight Demonic Monarchs would never have revealed the name of the Spindle Sect, but you managed to find out, huh."
"Even if you attempt to conceal everything else, you won't be able to hide your martial arts."
"You speak as if you know all about the Spindle Sect's martial arts."
"I am known as the Thunder God's successor; I know the Nine Celestial Demons Sect's martial arts inside out," Mu-Gun said nonchalantly.
"Then you must know about the power I possess?"
"I'm well aware of the Spindle Sky Breaker Star."
The Spindle Sky Breaker Star, a technique capable of unleashing thousands of unbreakable strands of Spindling Vajra Qi in an instant, had the power to devastate any area it swept through. Its formidable force was so great that even the smallest creature would struggle to survive.
If Geuk-Sang were to unleash the Spindle Sky Breaker Star in this situation, both the members of the Beihai Ice Palace and the Beihai Glacier Zombies would be unable to emerge unscathed.
"Hoho, you have a lot of guts to remain so relaxed, even knowing about it."
Well, that's because all I have to do is block it."
Geuk-Sang questioned in disbelief, "What did you just say? You want to block the Spindle Sky Breaker Star?"
Mu-Gun explained, "Why was the former Spindle Divine Demon defeated by the Thunder God's successor even when he had the Spindle Sky Breaker Star? The reason is simple. It just means that the Spindle Sky Breaker Star is useless in the face of the Thunder God's martial arts."
At Mu-Gun's words, Geuk-Sang's eyes slightly wavered.
"If you don't believe me, try using it.
Mu-Gun's provocation had its intended effect on Geuk-Sang. Faced with the dilemma of risking his life against Mu-Gun or preserving his own life, Geuk-Sang opted for the latter. Recognizing that Mu-Gun was not one to be underestimated, Geuk-Sang chose to prioritize self-preservation over the fate of the Spindle Demonic Battalion.
As Geuk-Sang issued the order for the Spindle Demonic Battalion to attack, Mu-Gun, not willing to let Geuk-Sang escape as planned, activated the Thunder God Qi with full force. A powerful golden thunder qi enveloped Mu-Gun as he flew towards Geuk-Sang, who had already begun retreating.
Utilizing the Thunder God's Shadow at its maximum capacity, Mu-Gun soared above the demonic practitioners of the Spindle Demonic Battalion. Despite their attempts to attack him, Mu-Gun's speed proved too swift for their efforts. Stepping intermittently on the heads of the demonic practitioners below, Mu-Gun propelled himself forward, causing their heads to explode like watermelons.
Geuk-Sang, recognizing Mu-Gun's relentless pursuit, could sense the rapid decrease in the distance between them. Despite Geuk-Sang's exceptional speed, Mu-Gun's Thunder God's Shadow outpaced him, closing the hundreds of feet between them in the blink of an eye.
Fine, lets see who dies first.
Recognizing that escape was futile, Geuk-Sang decided to confront Mu-Gun directly. He unleashed the Spindle Sky Breaker Star, a technique that involved blood-colored energy forming giant wheels around him. The number of these wheels multiplied exponentially, creating a formidable array of deadly energy wheels.
Upon witnessing Geuk-Sang's powerful attack, Mu-Gun halted the Thunder God's Shadow and stopped his rapid pursuit. The Spindle Sky Breaker Star posed a significant threat, and Mu-Gun needed to prepare for the impending clash with this formidable Spindle Sect technique.
"Let's see you try to stop this!" With all preparations complete, Geuk-Sang challenged Mu-Gun and released numerous massive bloody wheels that filled the space, heading straight for Mu-Gun.
Thousands of strands of Blood Wheel Vajra Qi surged towards Mu-Gun, shaking the earth's core and the space ahead. The pressure was enormous, enough to make most martial arts masters uneasy. Yet, Mu-Gun calmly raised his sword to the sky.
A group of golden lights emanated from Mu-Guns sword, forming a massive sword dozens of feet long the Infinite Thunder Sword, the sixth technique of the Heavenly Descent Thunder God Sword Art. Mu-Gun swung the fully formed Infinite Thunder Sword vertically, clashing it against the thousands of strands of Blood Wheel Vajra Qi storming towards him.
The Infinite Thunder Sword shattered the countless Blood Wheel Vajra Qi that directly hit it, the power overwhelming them like powder dispersing. The sword then struck down on the frozen surface of the North Sea, splitting it in half, causing massive shockwaves to push back the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi surging from both sides.
As the North Sea's frozen water surface shattered, ice shards scattered in all directions, while the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi persisted in charging toward Mu-Gun. The huge golden sword transformed into ten thousand Thunderbolt Swords, intercepting the relentless assault with precise collisions.
The Thunderbolt Swords, moving with an almost lifelike quality, shattered the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi upon impact, creating a thunderous roar throughout. However, some survived the interception and attacked Mu-Gun again. Activating the Golden Nine-Layered Thunder Wall with the Flying Golden Shield, Mu-Gun blocked the renewed onslaught.
The Blood Wheel Vajra Qi fiercely pushed against the nine layers of golden shields, breaking them one after another. Mu-Gun, summoning the last of his strength, discharged waves of Thunder God Qi through the Flying Golden Shield, colliding with the remaining Blood Wheel Vajra Qi.
In the intense collision, both the golden Thunder God Qi and the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi shattered, scattering in all directions. Exhausted, Mu-Gun managed to block the final wave of Blood Wheel Vajra Qi. Geuk-Sang, similarly drained, struggled to stand after expending all his energy on the Spindle Sky Breaker Star.
The reckless martial arts displayed by both had consequences, with the North Sea's ice layers breaking apart due to their outrageous confrontation.
