Episode 1081. Emperor Junggeumneung
Jehol screamed and cried out the name of the one who attacked him.
“Junggeumneung!”
The power of the spear and sword still remained in his body, so the moment he shouted like that, sword light and spear light burst out from his mouth and nose. Not only that, holes appeared all over his body and light also began to pour out from them.
“It feels a little more comfortable.”
In contrast to his unimaginably horrifying appearance, Jehol was smiling slightly, as if he was truly at ease.
The sword and spear light made countless holes in his body, but they did not reach his life, his root. If the opponent was not Je-Hol but a strongman of another level, his entire body would have been turned to dust by now.
Those who had not yet been able to escape, such as Cheon-hu, Yeong-yeong, and So-geop, were just blankly watching the scene.
It took a while for the sword and the light to completely disappear. Eventually, all the light and energy disappeared, and only then could people distinguish the energy of the one who had stabbed Je-Hol.
The energy of the nine heavenly realms of the Dogyeong. It wasn’t that of Jehol or Okyeonso. However, it was clearly an energy similar to their Dogyeong, with the shadow of the ten heavenly realms swaying in the air.
Behind Jehol, a figure of not very tall stood, pointing the tip of a stone sword at Okyeonso. Okyeonso raised her spear as if to confront such an opponent.
“Death penalty for Junggeumneung?”
Okyeonso called the other person’s name.
The light of the divine power completely disappeared, and the opponent who had been hidden behind the light of the Taoist scriptures finally began to appear. The great emperor in the form of a boy, his confident expression, the sunlight shining behind his back, and even his refreshing smile.
The one standing there was the Heavenly Emperor of the Second Realm, Junggeumneung.
Jung Geum-reung looked at Ok Yeon-so with a smiling face.
“Are you the fourth priest that the Master took in?”
Okyeonso answered.
“The Master said, ‘The death penalty is stupid, incompetent, and evasive, so we should stop following it.’”
Junggeumneung burst into laughter.
“I felt your presence in the depths of the sky. You were completely consumed by despair and resentment. The city center had long since fallen.”
Okyeonso’s eyes sparkled and shone.
“Didn’t that death sentence burn itself out and end up falling to the lowest level of both realm and skill? Because of that, it failed to stop Je-Hol and only allowed him to watch Master Je-Jeol die by his hand. If we look at the cause of the rebellion in Mangcheon, Death’s responsibility is largely yours. Yet, you, like me, don’t hold a grudge against anyone else and just stay where you are, watching the situation unfold. You don’t try to know what’s important. No, you don’t want to care about such things. It’s annoying.”
“That is why I am the Emperor of Heaven and you remain the Emperor of the Sun. And that is also why Master Jeje killed you. How can someone who cannot embrace the people in his heart become the Emperor of Heaven? How can he share the burden that Master Jeje bears?”
Junggeumryung reprimanded Okyeonsu with a serious expression that was completely different from before. However, the spear that Okyeonsu was holding did not show even the slightest trembling.
“You were sharing the burden of Master Jejeol. Is that what you are trying to say?”
The tip of the stone sword trembled slightly in place of the spear.
It was a very slight tremor, but Ok Yeon-so did not miss that moment and swung her spear like lightning.
It was the moment when the fight between the two talented disciples that Jejeol cherished, the best of the best who influenced their respective eras, and thus never had to face each other, began.
Because the center of Junggeumneung was shaking, even the stone sword was slightly shaking. It was a really small shaking, but in a fight between masters, this level of shaking could be a fatal weakness.
The fight between the two masters began like that. At the same time, a loud horn sound was heard from behind the Gyeophoeseon army.
The Second Heavenly Continent suddenly appeared from somewhere, and the soldiers of the Precious Stone who were already in the process of being destroyed rushed out of the continent and began attacking the Precious Stone Army.
Cheon-hu, who had been watching the situation, shouted urgently.
“All forces standstill! Counterattack! Now is the time to counterattack!”
* * *
Junggeumneung had sent an entire contingent of ancestors as reinforcements. With the addition of the Imperial Army, the situation, which had been completely opposite to what had been hopeless just a moment ago, began to unfold.
Young-young, Je-sim, Gu-su-gyeong, and others who had stopped running and were watching the situation, turned back to Cheon-hu’s bed in order not to lose the glimmer of hope that had begun to appear, and charged towards the Gyeophoe-seon Army once again.
The wires filled the sky, the law lines spread out around them, and a huge number of consuls poured into the last wire, the last wall on the road to the throne.
Yeong-yeong forced her injured body to move and used the gold crown and chains. Enemies were sucked into the gold crown, and the chains caught those who tried to escape the gold crown’s gravity.
Gu Su-gyeong lifted the chaos jade and ran wild across the battlefield. Thousands and tens of thousands of Gu Su-gyeongs appeared and filled the battlefield.
Jesim used the Dohon liquid to create clones, Joa Songam used the power of the stars, and Bongho transformed his body into a treasure and swung it.
The Red-Handed Man swung his sword wildly and dove into the crowd of enemies, while Shichohee scattered lightning around him, taking down a large number of enemies at once.
Even the Heavenly Army returned to the battlefield and flapped its wings. The sharp blades in the wind he created cut through the bodies of the enemies, and sometimes transformed into something with a viscosity like spider webs to entangle the enemies.
Sang Cheon-gun then transformed from a moth to a Taoist and swung the mulberry tree with all his might.
Sogyeop unleashed his first sword and sent out sword lights in all directions. He divided the Gyeophoeseon army into two groups, dispersing their forces and increasing the confusion.
So-Cheong-Cheong was riding a rhinoceros and trampling on her enemies. All sorts of weapons were floating around her. It was a special kind of supernatural power that you couldn’t understand the workings of at first glance.
Whenever she was in danger, despite being still inexperienced in combat, her sword light would flash and cut down the powerful enemies that stood in her way.
The ancient gods, the sage kings, including Chang-o and Dong-jeong, each raised their own Dharma treasures and emitted an energy that was clearly different from that of the others. They also made a path for the envoys to escape safely.
Cheon-hu wielded her wireless sword while interfering with the enemy. After tens of thousands of consuls following her and risking their lives to fight the enemy, they finally succeeded in joining forces with the Seonjeong army of Junggeum-ryung.
The second line of the Gyeophoeseon army led by Seongwang and Hyunggye was also fighting fiercely. The battlefield was clearly divided into two camps and they were caught in a standoff.
In the meantime, as the small calamity and the weather steadily divided the enemies, the situation gradually began to flow in favor of the imperial forces.
The shell of Jehol was floating in the air, separated into upper and lower halves. He was hiding in the darkness, fearing that he might encounter strongmen like Gu Su-gyeong.
He was standing in the center of the place where the divine powers of Junggeumneung and Okyeonso collided, so he was wounded all over his body. It wasn’t a fatal wound, but because his strength had been reduced, it was difficult for him to face strong opponents like Gu Su-gyeong.
While leading his soldiers, Cheon-hu continued to watch the battle between Jung-geum-ryung and Ok-yeon-so from the corner of his eyes.
There was not much difference in skill between Junggeumryeong and Okyeonso. They were fellow students who had the same teacher, but they each walked their own paths based on Jejeol’s teachings, and they were strong people who reached the end of that path.
The problem was that the center of Junggeumneung was slightly shaken by the jade fire. That small shake changed the course of the battle 180 degrees.
Junggeumreung succeeded in holding back the shaking city center, but failed to fill the gap it created.
At first, their fight was only a small difference of 100 to 99. However, in the first clash, it became 100 to 98, and in the subsequent attacks, the difference gradually widened.
If things continued like this, Junggeumryung would naturally be defeated and lose his life to Okyeonso.
Okyeonso’s attacks were like spider webs. As his attacks continued, it became harder and harder to even counter his attacks. When those spider web-like attacks stopped, it was probably when Junggeumryung lost his life.
In a fight between masters, a small opening shown to the opponent could lead to fatal results.
Cheon-hu noticed that the situation in Jung-geum-ryung was not good and showed an impatient expression. Her eyes sparkled as she watched Gu-su-gyeong strike Je-hol’s shell.
“We must end Je-hol! So-geop, help Gu-su-gyeong to end Je-hol!”
Sogyeop was not too far from Jehol and Gusu-gyeong, so as soon as he heard Cheon-hu’s shout, he immediately showed Jeilgeomjindo toward Jehol.
Cheon-hu also rushed towards Je-hol without delay and muttered to himself.
‘Ok Yeon-so’s body had already turned into a fearful being. Je-hol used the Innate Diary to return it to its original form. In other words, if Je-hol were to defeat her, Ok Yeon-so would lose her body and return to a fearful being. Ok Yeon-so, who has fallen to a fearful being, would be no match for Jung Geum-ryung!’
While Cheon-hu was thinking that, Je-hol’s shell, especially his lower body that had fallen to the ground, was escaping from So-geop’s pursuit and squeezing between the gaps in the fear lines.
The upper half of Jehol’s body was fluttering helplessly in the air like a flag. He knew that Cheon-hu was trying to take his life, so he kept looking around to find a safe place.
Cheon-hu caught up with Je-hol with his movements without any fuss and tried to deliver a fatal blow to him.
Jehol tried to counterattack, but he was nothing more than a shell, and hundreds of holes had formed on his body from the previous attacks by Jung Jin Ling. It was not easy for him to counterattack Cheon Hou, let alone avoid her attacks.
Jehol shouted.
“Okyeonso! If I die, you’re finished too!”
Cheon-hoo quickly lifted up his wireless guard because of the murderous intent he felt behind his back. Crunch! With an eerie sound, the spear flew towards Cheon-hoo and pierced the wireless guard.
Cheon-hu groaned softly and gave up on attacking Je-hol, instead retreating to avoid Ok-yeon-so’s spear.
Okyeonso ignored Junggeumneung’s attack and flew straight towards Jehol’s shell to save Jehol. He even brought Jehol’s lower body, which was being chased by Sogyeop, and merged their bodies into one.
Jehol, who had regained his original form, immediately used the Innate Diary. The Gyeophoeseons in the places where the Innate Diary he had used had passed through regained their original forms and began to display power and presence that were incomparable to what they had just now.
Jung Jin Ling returned to the 2nd Immortal Continent and burned down his own path. Then, the soldiers of the 2nd Immortal Continent changed their forms from the Kaphwaisan to Immortals and began to fight against the Kaphwaisan who had been reverted to their original forms by Je Hol.
