Chapter 35 – The Western Heaven Demonic Cult on the Move (3)

“Come here, girls.”

Yu-jin slipped his hands between Ye and Yeon’s clothes, grasping Ye’s somewhat small breasts and Yeon’s firm, full bosom.

“Hah, no… ngh, ahh, more, let me suck more, Master! Haaang.”

“Ahh, oof, oomph, haah…”

The two women, master and disciple, rubbed their faces against Yu-jin’s member, sucking it together. Rin and Hwa, who had been watching, embraced Yu-jin’s legs and began to lick his thighs.

They boldly climbed up his thighs, licking his buttocks and caressing his body. Then, Eun Seol-rin rose to her feet and kissed him, while Ran bit his chest with her tongue.

“Thank you.”

After thanking Eun Seol-rin and Ran, Hwa and Rin began to lick Yu-jin’s member, which was thoroughly drenched in their saliva.

They took his member deep into their throats. Thus, Yu-jin made love to six women at once.

‘I just want to live like this forever.’

Entertaining such a frivolous thought, Yu-jin had Eun Seol-rin get on all fours and inserted his fingers into her heated flower.

Positioning herself on her hands and knees with her hips raised high to make it easier for him, Eun Seol-rin lost her reason under his relentless stimulation.

“Aaaang! Please, Master! Qu-quickly, your thing!”

“Insolent, aren’t we, Seol-rin? Though, I do like this side of you.”

Yu-jin rubbed his massive member against Eun Seol-rin’s flower before thrusting it deep inside.

“Aack. It hurts, agh, so big~ I can feel it! I can feel you inside me, Master!”

Eun Seol-rin’s flower tightened around Yu-jin’s member. After ravishing her, Yu-jin moved on to the other women, holding them in his arms until the day turned to night.

*CRACK-BOOM!*

The two men, having exchanged a single blow to gauge each other’s strength, stood unscathed amidst the violent collision. Their attacks had perfectly canceled each other out, leaving the surroundings undamaged.

‘Can that even be called human?’

The Heavenly Demon looked like an embodiment of darkness or death itself. Lee Hwan frowned, his eyes scanning the area around the man.

The grass around the Heavenly Demon’s feet began to wither and turn black. The leaves on a tree about ten feet away shriveled, and its trunk dried out.

His mere breathing brought death to the plants. Lee Hwan could also cause such phenomena by asserting his will, but he wasn’t confident he could do so just by breathing.

‘Truly the worst of demons, one who defies the heavens. But I have no intention of losing.’

Lee Hwan was an absolute master who had reached the Profound Realm, a stage one level higher than the Transformation Realm that countless martial artists yearned to achieve.

In terms of realm alone, he was on par with the Heavenly Demon. Although there might be disparities within that level, they were such that they could be overturned at any moment.

“Today, you will cease to exist!”

Lee Hwan shouted, infusing his saber with power. Another image of a saber began to form above it. A flicker of interest appeared in the Heavenly Demon’s eyes.

“A Heart Sword… no, in this case, it would be a Heart Saber. This fight is getting more interesting than I thought.”

The saber, made entirely of blue light, pointed at the darkness that was the Heavenly Demon. The saber of light shone brilliantly even within the pitch-black darkness.

But the Heavenly Demon was not afraid. Instead, he made the darkness vibrate even more intensely.

A sword formed in his hand, crafted solely from darkness. It was the Demonic Lord, the first of the Twelve Treasures, said to be wieldable by only one person in the world: the Heavenly Demon.

“Let’s have a proper fight.”

With those words, the Heavenly Demon swung the Demonic Lord. A wave of darkness that seemed poised to swallow the world shot toward Lee Hwan.

This was no simple attack. It was a power that denied the very value of all life, returning it to death. The darkness surged forward, driving plants and small creatures to their doom.

“Aaargh!”

A warrior from the Cheonsan Lee Clan who hadn’t retreated in time was swallowed by the darkness. He vanished, turning to ash without a trace.

“Fall back, you fools! He is not someone you can face!”

As Lee Hwan shouted, he swung his Heart Saber, Hegemon Heaven, and the blue light instantly sliced through the darkness. The severed darkness vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Do you think you can defeat me with just this, Heavenly Demon!”

Powerful attacks created by the Heart Saber flew toward the Heavenly Demon. But the darkness formed a protective barrier around him, and Lee Hwan’s attacks were deflected.

“Not yet!”

Lee Hwan unleashed a continuous barrage of powerful attacks, and the protective barrier around the Heavenly Demon began to crack. The Heavenly Demon once again summoned a massive wave of darkness and sent it flying toward Lee Hwan.

The battle between the two absolute masters continued, and the vast estate of the Cheonsan Lee Clan was reduced to a third of its original size, the rest crumbling to ruin.

The warriors of the Cheonsan Lee Clan saw it with their own eyes. They saw Lee Hwan cleave through the Heavenly Demon’s darkness and bisect the true body hidden within.

The victor was the Hegemon Heaven Saber Emperor, Lee Hwan, their great clan head. The warriors looked at their leader, who had slain the worst demon in the martial world, with eyes full of reverence. But the expression on Lee Hwan’s face, despite his victory, was not one of joy.

‘Strange. Something feels too… unfinished.’

He was glad to have won, but something felt unsettling. He hadn’t even used all of his power, yet the Heavenly Demon had been defeated and vanished.

But it was hard to call it a lie, as the demonic cultists who had invaded the Cheonsan Lee Clan were beginning to retreat.

‘What is he scheming?’

Feeling a sense of unease, Lee Hwan tried to think further but couldn’t continue his thoughts.

“Blegh!”

Lee Hwan’s body collapsed as he vomited a massive amount of blood.

“Clan Head!”

The warriors of the Cheonsan Lee Clan rushed to Lee Hwan with shocked faces and checked his condition. Fortunately, he had only suffered internal injuries, and his life was not in danger, allowing them to feel a sense of relief.

***

Deep in the mountains, far north of Gansu Province, lay the headquarters of the Western Heaven Demonic Cult.

The lord of the Western Heaven Demonic Cult, the ruler of all demons, the Heavenly Demon, sat with his eyes closed. It was a strange sight, to say the least. How could he, who had just been fighting Lee Hwan, the head of the Cheonsan Lee Clan, be here?

*Drip.*

Suddenly, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and the Heavenly Demon finally opened his eyes. He wiped the blood from his lips and stared at it.

“Blood… I wonder how many decades it’s been. The Ten Great Heavenly Masters are truly worthy of their title. To think he defeated me, even if it was just a clone.”

That was right. He hadn’t taken a single step out of the room he was in. The Heavenly Demon sent to the Cheonsan Lee Clan was merely his clone. And a weak one at that, possessing only thirty percent of his true power.

That wasn’t to say he was belittling Lee Hwan for defeating the clone. The Heavenly Demon readily admitted that he couldn’t have won against Lee Hwan with just a clone. However, Lee Hwan, who had allowed a major blow while fighting this clone, was not yet worthy of being his adversary.

“My Lord.”

At that moment, a middle-aged man resembling a scholar appeared before the Heavenly Demon, bowing his head. It was Gong Se-eui, the Demonic Brain, currently serving as the strategist for the Western Heaven Demonic Cult.

“What is it?”

“It seems the Martial Alliance has made a move. However, they have not dispatched warriors from their main headquarters.”

“Not warriors from the Martial Alliance?”

The Heavenly Demon’s attitude was one of utter indifference. Besides those belonging to the Western Heaven Demonic Cult, the only humans he considered worthy of his attention were the other Ten Great Heavenly Masters.

All other humans were no different from insects to him. Hence his detached demeanor.

“Yes. It seems gathering and dispatching warriors from the Martial Alliance headquarters is quite time-consuming. Therefore, they have reportedly selected a small number of masters and sent them to the Cheonsan Lee Clan. The Seven Dragons—no, the Eight Dragons now—the Five Phoenixes, and the renowned masters of the martial world are on the move. However, the one we need to be concerned about is the Moon Empress.”

At the mention of the Moon Empress, the Heavenly Demon showed a slight flicker of emotion for the first time, but that was all. No matter how great a master of the Transformation Realm was, none could withstand a single one of his techniques.

But Gong Se-eui felt differently. The power of the Western Heaven Demonic Cult was not yet complete, and they needed to buy more time for it to be so.

‘That is why we attacked the Cheonsan Lee Clan. Most of Gansu Province is already under our cult’s influence, and annihilating the Cheonsan Lee Clan is a simple matter for us. Our goal is not the Cheonsan Lee Clan itself, but to capture those who come to their aid and buy time.’

And Gong Se-eui knew exactly who would come. The Martial Alliance was an inefficiently structured organization, so it would take time to gather its warriors.

As such, they had to request help from others. The Han Clan, where many masters had gathered, came into their view, and the Martial Alliance was in a position where they had no choice but to ask for their cooperation.

‘Everything up to this point has gone according to my calculations.’

Gong Se-eui’s plan was to capture the Eight Dragons, the Five Phoenixes, and other renowned martial artists to drag out time through negotiations.

While the renowned masters were one thing, most of the Eight Dragons and Five Phoenixes were children of the Five Great Clans, the central power of the Martial Alliance. If they were captured, the Martial Alliance would surely be unable to act decisively.

Kang Yu-jin of the True Dragon Sword Clan becoming a new Dragon was an unforeseen event, but it didn’t matter. Right now, Gong Se-eui’s only concern was the Moon Empress. She was the one person who could completely overturn his plans. As such, he needed a countermeasure against her.

“Would it be permissible to mobilize one of the Vice-Lords, my Lord?”

Only those who had reached the state of Supreme Demon (Transformation Realm) could become Vice-Lords of the Western Heaven Demonic Cult, and there were currently four such individuals.

“It matters not. Let any who wish to go do so.”

“I accept your command.”

Having received the Heavenly Demon’s permission, Gong Se-eui smiled. Just then, the Heavenly Demon spoke.

“No, there is no need to send the Vice-Lords. I shall go myself.”

At the Heavenly Demon’s unexpected words, Gong Se-eui was taken aback for the first time.

“There is no need for you to personally step forward, my Lord…”

While only the Heavenly Demon could face Lee Hwan, the head of the Cheonsan Lee Clan, the Moon Empress was different. No matter how formidable she was, she could be dealt with by one of the Vice-Lords. More importantly, it would be problematic if the Heavenly Demon killed all the potential hostages.

“I know your concerns. I will not kill them. I am going for a different reason.”

“A reason, you say?”

“I have a feeling that I must go there. That is why I am moving.”

The premonition of an absolute master was almost akin to foresight, and Gong Se-eui could only nod in acceptance.
