Episode 1114. Beyond the Mountain (2)

Although his body was damaged here and there by the sea of ??chaos, his existence still posed a tremendous threat.

Kutakdo-gun!

Although it was a critical situation, So-woon seemed to have calmed down as her prediction turned out to be correct.

“Yu Do-woo, I will leave the task of dealing with the King of Reincarnation to you. Your health is not good, but the King of Reincarnation has not fully recovered yet and has been hit by an unexpected blow, so he will not be able to control his body properly. Let’s place our hopes on that.”

Yoo Jo-saeng looked blankly at the white-bone Gu Taek-do-gun standing before him and said.

“How about we switch roles? I’ll deal with those bones, and you’ll deal with the reincarnation king… .”

Sowoon shook her head again.

“The author is a Taoist. A being with power that rivals that of a Taoist! Furthermore, he is not someone who has acquired the Taoist ability on his own and has become a Taoist, but a true Taoist who has received external recognition from heaven and earth. Even if his power is diminished by the Sea of ??Chaos, his power will be almost the same. As a Taoist, you cannot survive against the author.”

At that moment, Gu Taek-do roared like an animal. The surrounding stars were swept away by that roar.

A red light flickered inside his empty eyes. Gu Taek-do-gun ran straight toward So-woon as if he recognized him as an enemy. Then he roared once more. It was the same roar that had blown away the stars before.

But the roar disappeared before it could reach So-woon’s body.

After seeing that workshop, Yoo Jo-saeng gave up on the idea of ??fighting Gu Taek-do-gun. As So-woon said, Gu Taek-do-gun was not an opponent he could handle. Even if he was a being that had been tormented by the sea of ??chaos and was reduced to nothing but bones.

“But, the King of Reincarnation has the Reincarnation Ring and the Bell of Chaos, so how can we deal with him?”

He muttered as he bit his lip. Now all that was left was to hope that So-woon’s blow would leave an indelible scar on the King of Reincarnation.

So-woon stood motionless in his spot, blocking the roar of Gu-taek-do-gun and the terrifying energy contained within it. After a while, he leaped forward. His figure disappeared from sight in an instant.

Gu Taek-do-gun also seemed to bend his leg and then suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, the two collided head-on, sending ripples around them. Their clash was so high-level that even ordinary people couldn’t even perceive it.

In Yoo Jo-saeng’s eyes, he saw So-woon moving from the 7th immortal realm to the 6th immortal realm, and Gu Taek-do-gun chasing after So-woon into the 6th immortal realm.

The 6th realm was a forbidden area since ancient times, a place that could not be entered without crossing the Bukmyeonjangseong Fortress, but for So-woon and Gu Taek-do-gun, such restrictions had no meaning.

The moment So-Woon and Gu-Taek-Do-Gun disappeared into the 6th Heavenly Realm, another sound of footsteps was heard from the hole connected to the Sea of ??Chaos.

Yoo Jo-saeng glared at him with a tense expression. After a while, as he had expected, the King of Reincarnation, accompanied by Bi-hwan, appeared. Yoo Jo-saeng immediately began to spread his energy as if he was about to start a fight.

The reincarnation king was constantly coughing up blood.

“So Do-woo’s blow definitely worked. It almost took my life. But my lifeline is tenacious. No matter how hard I try to cut it, it can’t be cut.”

The nurse burst into laughter.

“What the Heavenly Emperor started, I will finish.”

The reincarnation king shook his head with a hollow laugh.

“Can you say that you can do what So Do-woo couldn’t? All you can do is fall under my hand. But this time… … my disciple Je-hol will take on you in my stead.”

A ring of light flashed behind the head of the King of Reincarnation, and great emperors emerged from within it.

Finally, something large and flat emerged from the void. It was the shell of Jehol.

Yoo Jo-saeng looked around with his eyes wide open. The presence of the three hundred and sixty great emperors, along with the energy emitted by the Jehol shell, gave off an energy that even Yoo Jo-saeng was startled by.

A bigger problem than that kind of magical power was that all of the great emperors felt So-un’s innate diary.

Jehol’s shell suddenly trembled. Then, the great lords surrounding Yoojo-saeng were all sucked into the hole left in Jehol’s chest.

Their blood and flesh became one and quickly filled up. He soon regained his former appearance as the Emperor of the Ancient Sunyang.

A frenzied energy was swirling inside his body. Various great swords were bound together and unified by the Innate Diary.

The young man bit his lips tightly.

Becoming a Taoist by achieving enlightenment on one’s own is simpler than receiving recognition from heaven and earth, but because of this, there was a huge weakness.

That is, the understanding of the Tao is completely transformed into power. Depending on how many great swords you have and how well you understand them, your realm is determined and you have the power to defeat your enemies.

Although Yoo Jo-saeng was a special being who became a Taoist in both worlds, he was unable to overcome this weakness that existed in him. The great swords he possessed were only the great swords of the current universe and other minor great swords, and even those were few in number.

Furthermore, there wasn’t much he could do against Jehol, who had obtained the Seoncheon Ilgi while wearing a robe and had three hundred great masters under his wing.

“This painting that So Do-woo left for me will get better in about six months at the latest.”

The King of Reincarnation smiled faintly and said.

“Before that half year passes, you must defeat Jehol and the Dogun of the Space Graveyard and fight me again. Well, the ending is as obvious as day.”

The King of Reincarnation snapped his fingers. Then, the Reincarnation Ring moved behind Jehol’s head.

“Write it.”

* * *

The sixth heavenly realm, the vital energy of the heavens and earth there had already dried up and dried up. Everywhere was covered with fear, and all the stars that existed in the heavenly realm had lost their light and died. Even the sun was dead, and it was a hell without any life.

The main continent of the 6th Heavenly Realm, Dongcheon and Bokji that existed there, were scattering fear instead of good energy. The only things that were moving in that place were monsters surrounded by fear.

They were beings who had burned their own great swords to survive in the past. However, even they had already turned into cowards. Without supplies, their strength quickly waned.

The era that boasted of a brilliant civilization had already come to an end.

At that moment, the sky of the 6th celestial realm shook violently. And a huge hole appeared. Through that hole, the heavenly energy of the 7th celestial realm surged in like a flood.

The energy of heaven and earth that had passed over to the sixth realm soon took the form of a giant bell. So-woon, standing beneath the bell, glared at the white bone god flying towards him.

As more and more vital energy flowed into the 6th realm, the bell became clearer and clearer.

“Guk-taek-do-gun, it’s been a while. How have you been?”

So-woon smiled and greeted him. Gu Taek-do-gun ignored So-woon’s greeting and tried to attack, but So-woon’s supernatural power blocked his advance.

“I remember that time. You, who was angry at me as a White Bone God, tried to take my innate spirit root away from me while sending me out of the space graveyard. But who would have thought that we would meet again in the same form as that time? This time, you are not a fake, but a real White Bone God?”

Gu Taek-do-gun snorted and turned his gaze elsewhere. Although he was nothing but skin and bones, the atmosphere unique to the Dogun remained intact.

“I told you before. Our Taoist soldiers are sinister. That was wrong. In fact, the heavenly beings are more… … .”

As he mumbled the words, Gu Taek-do met So-woon’s gaze again.

“I planned to sow discord between Gusu-gyeong and Yeoyocheonjon, causing them to fight each other. Then, when both sides were wounded and retreated, I planned to take over the rule of the Cosmic Graveyard and reign over everyone. But who would have thought that Yeoyocheonjon had seen through all my thoughts? Because of that, I was forced to hang on to Jangseong and suffer endless pain.”

So-woon smiled.

“Yo Yeo Cheon Jeon is a being who has ascended to the original realm. You, who have been with him for a long time, have looked down on him the most. It is only natural that such a result has come about.”

Gu Taek-do-gun sighed, unable to refute So-woon’s point.

“I was blinded by power and lost my way. I realized that fact while hanging on to the castle and suffering in the sea of ??chaos. But with that, I cleared everything. I shook off my misfortune. The reincarnation guide removed the arrow that was embedded in my body and gave me new life. But I was happier that I could meet you, So Do-woo, again than that I was reborn.”

As he said that, he smiled sinisterly. His tone of voice also became more and more excited.

“Because I can take revenge. Heaven hasn’t completely abandoned me. I’ll kill you here and get the spirit you ran away with. With that spirit, maybe I can succeed in my journey to the original. If everything goes my way, Yeo-yo won’t be my opponent either.”

He was using the door to convey his thoughts to So-woon. So-woon was the same. The ‘primitive’ they spoke of had different meanings for each of them.

The original being that Gu Taek-do-gun speaks of is the pinnacle of the Great Way, the end of the vast ocean, a unique existence that chews on loneliness.

On the other hand, So-un interpreted the original by comparing it to Hong-mong. The Tao, meaning one, the beginning of the universe, the beginning of all paths. It could be all the universes existing on the sea of ??chaos, and all the great paths on it.

The two people were talking about different things, but since they were using the door to communicate, they understood what each other was trying to say without any further explanation.

This was one of the good things about the door.

So-woon said.

“Do-hyung, the King of Reincarnation is not trying to help you out of kindness. Don’t you understand yet? The entire process of being separated from the Cosmic Graveyard, entering the Sea of ??Chaos, and then coming back here was a fear for Do-hyung. And that fear is not over. The King of Reincarnation saving you, and the fact that you and I have come face to face again, even this is due to fear.”

At So-woon’s explanation, Gu-taek-do-gun looked around with new eyes. Indeed, the fear-inducing sleet was particularly fluttering around him, showing off its presence. It was as if sleet was falling.

Gu Taek-do let out a sly laugh.

“So Do-woo is trying to shake my heart again like that. Ever since I was in the Space Graveyard, I was close to being a coward. I survived by stealing the heavenly and earthly energy of other universes. Just like the beings in the other Space Graveyards, I will do the same this time. I will steal the heavenly and earthly energy of the leading universe from you and create my own power. That will solve everything.”

Hearty laughter.

“You don’t know what the King of Reincarnation told me. That must be why you can stand before me so calmly. Hehe, the King of Reincarnation told me that the Master Su-gyeong I was afraid of, the Master Su-gyeong who was said to have powers equal to that of the Heavenly Lord Yeo-yo, was actually just an ordinary sage. And as if adding, he said that the current sage is the strongest being in the universe, you, So-woon.”

Gu Taek-do-gun had intended to shake up the city center of So-un, and at this moment, when the fight was about to begin, he spoke the truth about Gu Su-gyeong.

However, contrary to his expectations, the city center of Soun was quiet without a single ripple. This was because several deaths and the passage of fifty million years had transformed Soun’s city center into solid steel.

Gu Taek-do-gun was shocked. He soon gave up shaking the city center of So-un and stretched out his hand to attack.
