True Martial Home

This is… serious.

It’s definitely not human. I’m even feeling fear.

‘If that’s the case… the power of Absolute Realm is rapidly escalating. If there are that many training restrictions…’

A different form of absolute defense from Peerless Technique is possible!

And unlike Peerless Technique, there are no restrictions in case of failure!

As I stood there, stunned by the seriousness of Heavenly Unrestrained Technique, Jin So-cheong looked up at the distant sky and said.

“Honestly, I still don’t have the confidence to break through the Twelve Joules’ Heavenly Unrestrained Technique, but the reason I provoked him at that moment was to gather even a little clue about his technique. Otherwise, we won’t be able to take him down.”

“I see.”

What on earth is the identity of the Twelve Joules?

What kind of human could stack such inhuman absolute realms?

‘Anyway, the masters of the three major powers are all monsters…’

I shook my head and said.

“Enough. Let’s start preparing to attack. There’s no point in talking anymore.”

“Understood.”

The next day, a messenger from the Master of the White Lotus Sect, Yongbi-cheon, came. He said that the Master had completely decided to cooperate, and I shared with him that the attack would be tomorrow with the specific plans. After that, Yongbi-cheon left to report back.

That evening, Mangnyang, Miho, and Cheon Woo-jin came by. They all rushed over to participate in tomorrow’s attack. Seeing that none of them looked too old, I felt relieved.

Miho said.

“Baek Woong, I feel like we aren’t fully powered to take down Peng Zuo yet. Is it really okay to attack like this? Wouldn’t it be better to bring at least one or two of the Seven Luminaries?”

I shook my head at that.

“Now that we’ve involved the Twelve Joules, forcing in the Moon Sovereign doesn’t make sense, and we don’t have time to deal with the Flame Element. The Wood Element is in the possession of the Twelve Joules, while the Golden Crow has been taken by Peng Zuo, and the Water Element is located in Dark Heaven Village. We’ll have to solve this with what we have.”

“Then why on earth did we draw in the Twelve Joules or the Master of the White Lotus Sect? With some tricks, we could easily take out Peng Zuo ourselves.”

As Miho grumbled, I shot a glance at Zhuge Bu. He stepped forward and said to the others present.

“That was my strategy.”

“Hmph. You expect us to trust the words of someone who was an enemy’s officer just until recently?”

“Once I received the Obsidian, we’re in the same boat.”

Without a care, Zhuge Bu brushed off Miho’s words and continued.

“If necessary, I have a strategy to take down Peng Zuo instantly. You don’t have to worry about not being able to handle him. However, the main goal of this attack isn’t to take down Peng Zuo but to find out who’s behind it.”

“Who’s behind it?”

Miho’s eyes sharpened.

“Who is controlling Peng Zuo to invade us?”

“Right. That’s most likely the case.”

“Do you think we could figure out who that person is? Taking out Peng Zuo is one thing, but capturing him alive would be impossible.”

Then Zhuge Bu said.

“No. It’s also possible that the controller isn’t a specific individual but a result of the Law of Cause and Effect. Peng Zuo himself may be unaware that he’s being manipulated. In reality, the chances of finding the enemy behind this are very low.”

“What the hell is that?”

“That’s why we need this process.”

Zhuge Bu’s eyes gleamed.

“…Deception with deception. We need to make it so all think things are running their way.”

The next day, the attack on Namhae Fortress began.

I utilized the Golden Lamp technique to move all the key officials and top experts of the Bancheon Alliance, as well as the imperial palace. For now, Zhuge Bu had disguised himself as Zhuge Yulong, trying to use us temporarily to align with the imperial palace. After all, it appeared on the surface that the imperial palace and Bancheon Alliance had teamed up.

The allied forces were roughly around two hundred men. Surprisingly, that was a sizable number, and I felt we could engage even the White Lotus Sect or the Twelve Joules with this strength. I immediately gave the order.

“Attack!”

Tydaht!!

Having brought only the elite of the elite, there wasn’t a single expert below Peak Master among us. Additionally, the imperial palace’s Demon Sorcerers possessed excellent vitality and physical abilities, making them good frontline assault troops and shields.

‘The target is inside the fleet!’

The area of our operation spanned about ten li. From here, we’d advance inside the fleet, lure out the Demon Sorcerers, take them out, and assassinate Peng Zuo. Of course, even though it was just around ten li away, seeing all sorts of monsters and gunmen flooding in all at once made it far from easy.

Kagagak!

Tydaht!!

Pukong!!

Yikes –

Along with the clamor of battle, the sounds of gunfire and tearing cloth echoed everywhere. It felt especially foreboding due to the blood mist surrounding us, and the fighting was fierce. The enemy’s gunmen were strong against regular soldiers, but with the surprise attack and the martial artists’ rapid movements, they couldn’t land a single shot. Furthermore, the Peak Masters even blocked bullets head-on with their Protection Energy Technique.

I slashed through the demon beasts, quickly moving forward and asked Cheon Woo-jin.

“Cheon Woo-jin, how’s the neutralizing of the magical powers going?”

“Damn it. If you could use Yin Spirit Power well, you could easily handle this too. Why is it only falling on me?”

“Quit your whining. If a strong enemy appears, I’ll step in.”

According to intelligence, the dense blood mist spreading across the Namhae Harbor was itself an evil sorcery barrier, capable of extracting the life force and sanity from intruders. Normally, a martial artist, no matter how high their skills, couldn’t last long in this blood mist zone. However, we had Cheon Woo-jin, who was well-versed in magic, supporting us by neutralizing the blood mist, allowing our allies to fight smoothly.

Kuhwang!!

[Crack crack…. Crack….]

At that moment, dark-clad Demon Sorcerers appeared near the harbor, leading a massive demon beast that towered over ten height units. The beast seemed made of rock, but with grotesque tentacles protruding here and there, it looked menacing. The Master of Shadowless Sword boldly charged forward, shouting.

“Ha ha! What does size matter?!”

Swish!!

Boom!

The sword strength unleashed by the Master of Shadowless Sword silently cleaved through the massive demon beast. However, the enormous demon, seemingly cut in one strike, soon regenerated into two pieces and then split into two demon beasts in an instant. Seeing this, the Master of Shadowless Sword was taken aback.

“…What?! How could that happen….”

Despite his surprise, he swung his sword again, slicing down two of the beasts, but this time they multiplied into four. Realizing that physical attacks were useless, the Master of Shadowless Sword’s expression hardened.

Shiririk!

Shiririk!

Moreover, thousands of tentacle-like appendages began to crawl out from the dark fog in the harbor, covering everything. It was literally a nightmarish place where demon path and chaos thrived. It seemed that not a single civilian had survived, as everyone had likely become food for the beasts.

Then, Miho, in her half-beast form, stepped forward, her tail igniting with nine flames as her eyes sparkled.

[Kahh!!]

At the moment Miho shone her eyes, the nine flames whirled and transformed into beams piercing through the demon beasts surrounding us. In a thunderous explosion, the demon beasts were nearly obliterated, and even the blood mist felt like it was being blown away by Miho’s strength.

‘So strong!’

My allies had made a powerful alliance with Abe no Seimei to enact the great divine techniques of Yin and Yang, and it showed. Absorbing Yin Spirit Power would make her even stronger, but Miho was already able to gain strength with what she had.

As the demon sorcerers tried to escape by turning their bodies into liquid, at that moment, Sa Ma-gyeong unfolded the Eight Trigrams Diagram using Qimen Dunjia, determining their liquid shapes in the air. Qimen Dunjia also has the ability to control magic powers, making it easy to counter the sorcerers’ techniques.

“Farewell.”

Sa Ma-gyeong waved his hand, and soon the liquid forms of the sorcerers were sucked into the center of the Eight Trigrams Diagram and disappeared. The same method worked for Mangnyang and Zhuge Bu to eradicate the demon beasts.

Having advanced five li from the original ten, it seemed our forces were overwhelmingly pushing through. I thought we might not even need the assistance of the two major factions, but soon, an entity emerged three li away that would alter my thoughts entirely.

Whoooooo –

Surrounding that figure, there were neither demon beasts nor blood mist. Standing upright in the middle of the street was merely a person equipped with eight swords. Thinking it was a monster, the members of the Bancheon Alliance observed him with suspicion, but he looked human and did not emanate any overwhelming aura, appearing rather weak.

[Kaaahhh!!]

The first to react to the perceived weakness were the dragon and demon figures brought from the imperial palace. These beings, equipped with physical abilities rivaling that of Peak Masters, charged at him in droves, and it seemed he would be torn apart shortly.

However –

Pukwack!

In one slash of a sword (One Slash), several demon soldiers were reduced to thousands of pieces of flesh, fluttering in the wind. What was surprising was that despite the numerous pieces scattered around, not a single drop of blood stained his body.

“No way!!”

“Everyone, combine your strength and attack!”

When the thirty elite experts of the Bancheon Alliance saw that scene, they were aghast and immediately formed ranks to charge at him, but at that moment, Dokgo Seong and the Master of Shadowless Sword stepped forward to block their path, shouting.

“Stop!”

“You stand no chance!”

Ssss…

The six high-ranking officials of the Bancheon Alliance gathered their full power around the mysterious being. Yet, even without moving, he made the likes of Deung Gwak, Dokgo Seong, and the Master of Shadowless Sword sweat profusely.

In a bored tone, the mysterious being spoke.

“I’m a mercenary. I have no reason to fight you to the death, so if you don’t back off, I will let you leave.”

“……”

No one could say a word. Everyone instinctively sensed that if he unleashed even one sword, one of them would inevitably die, and the problem was that such a monster’s attack could neither be evaded nor blocked. He was overwhelming all by himself.

But I had guessed his identity from the moment he appeared, and I was pondering with a stiff expression.

‘I want to test my strength, but…’

A competitive spirit surged up as I stepped forward, but I quickly withdrew my foot. Jin So-cheong then spoke.

“Well done.”

“It may be reckless, but deep down, I want to fight that person…”

As I lamented, Jin So-cheong said.

“…You haven’t seen the end of this [play] yet. You must not die before seeing the end. And isn’t your first opponent already determined?”

“Hm…, the question is how to dispose of that person.”

“That shouldn’t be a worry.”

Just then, from behind the blood mist, someone was approaching. Accompanied by three masked individuals, that person led dozens of experts behind him.

It was, in fact, the Master of the White Lotus Sect, who emerged glowing with wisdom from his hidden form.

[Unbelievable. A being of your level exists in this world.]

“Master of the White Lotus Sect.”

[Ignoring common courtesies, I would like to hear your name and titles.]

It was unbelievable.

The Master of the White Lotus Sect—asking for a name first!

Then the self-proclaimed ‘mercenary’ slowly drew the two swords hanging from his waist and spoke.

“I am Pasun, the ruler of the Primordial Void.”

[Indeed… I’ve heard the name.]

“A being like you should be enough to be the dew of my sword.”

That was it.

The being that appeared was none other than Pasun, the supreme being of the Primordial Void and the Asura of the Eight Parts of the Divine!

Holding a position near the top in strength among the Eight Parts of the Divine, the monster who conquered the Primordial Void Martial Alliance was now standing against us.

[This is amusing.]

At Pasun’s words, the Master of the White Lotus Sect’s body began to levitate slowly.

A strange radiance flickered within his hidden form, and a chaotic inverse flow poured out from his entire being. Was it my imagination that I momentarily saw a shape like chaos mixed with the primordial void?

[One move only, please….]

And so began the showdown between the strongest in the Central Plains and the strongest of the Primordial Void.
