Chapter 212
When Baek Mu-Gun unlocked his upper dantian, the worlds thunder qi began to rush in like a flood. It filled his upper dantian in an instant, then coursed downward. His blood flowed through the blood vessels in his upper, middle, and lower dantians, showing no signs of clogging.
Tremendous amounts of thunder qi flowed through Mu-Gun as the dantians were connected as one. The thunder qi passed through every blood vessel and unclogged thousands of micro veins, then opened eighty-four thousand of his pores.
Having absorbed the Thunder Gods divinity and the universes energy, Mu-Guns soul became one with the universes energy and reached the Origin Spirit State[1], a clear indication that Mu-Gun had risen to the ranks of gods.
The Origin Spirit State served as the real body of those who had reached it, turning their mortal vessels into nothing but false images. For as long as their Origin Spirit State was intact, they could create a new body as many times as needed. However, since Mu-Gun had just reached it, his ability was still inferior to gods, who transcended time and space and were free from the constraints of life and death.
Even so, no human could stand up to him now that he had become a supreme being.
Flash!
Mu-Gun opened his eyes.
Is this the power of a god?
Mu-Gun shuddered as infinite power flowed through his newly metamorphosed body. Although he shivered whenever he activated the Thunder Gods Descent, it was nothing to how he felt right now. With this power, he could not help but feel as if there was nothing he could not do. He could even destroy this world if he wanted.
- How doth thou feel now that thou had obtained the power of an incarnation?
The Thunder Gods voice rang in his mind.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Surreal, to say the least. I fear failing to handle all this power, though.
- With great power normally comes great responsibility, but I am sure that thou wilt do well, just like how thou had done so far.
What happens if I abuse your power?
- It comes from me. Should thou never fulfill thy duty as mine incarnation, I shalt recall mine power posthaste. Thy soul shalt then become a part of me. However, I believe that wilt never happen.
Youre right about that. Now then, when does my duty as your incarnation begin?
- Thou wilt know when the time comes. For now, thou should solve the problems at hand.
Understood.
- I wish thou good luck.
The Thunder God cut off the connection with Mu-Guns consciousness.
The Thunder Gods incarnation, huh
Mu-Gun had a feeling that he had rough roads ahead of him, but he did not regret his decision. Becoming the Thunder Gods incarnation was a far better option than allowing the Thunder God to devour his soul.
The thought of exploring new worldsones different from his ownmade Mu-Gun feel excited. No, just gaining the power to defeat the Nine Celestial Demons Sect satisfied him enough.
Sensing various energy sources outside his tent, Mu-Gun called them inside. The six venerable elders and the seven wanderers entered the tent.
Are you okay, Young Patriarch Baek? Jin Yoo-Sung asked.
What do you mean? Mu-Gun replied, pretending not to know.
I suddenly sensed a huge wave of energy from your tent. I was going to barge in but decided to wait outside instead to avoid interfering with your enlightenment. Well, from the looks of it, you seem totally fine.
He does not just look fine. Seok Gang closely observed Mu-Gun. You seem to have obtained a huge enlightenment. You do not even seem to be from this world anymore.
Now that you mentioned it, I feel as if I am looking at a Godly Human, Geom Woo-Saeng enthusiastically agreed.
What happened? Han Baek asked.
Rather than letting the Nine Celestial Demons Sect be eradicated because we do not want to take the pill, would it not be better for at least one of us to survive and realize the Nine Celestial Demons Sects dominance?
I agree with the Myriad Poison Divine Demon, Geuk-Sang joined in, But how would we even decide on something like that?
The best we can do is to let our skills decide our fate through a martial arts competition, but since we cannot do that right now, we should draw lots instead, Cheon-Dok suggested.
You want to leave our fates to a draw of lots? Won-Pae questioned.
I cannot think of any other method that is as simple yet also eliminates chances of objection. If you have a better idea, Myriad Tribulations Divine Demon, then pray tell. I am willing to follow it if it is indeed better.
Failing to come up with anything, Won-Pae instead asked, Ehem, is everyone in favor of the Myriad Poison Divine Demons suggestion?
It is a good last resort.
I agree. It would be far better for at least one of us to survive and achieve our great cause than for all of us to die and fail.
Contrary to Won-Paes expectations, the other Divine Demons supported Cheon-Dok. Won-Paes face crumpled, having lost all justification to reject the suggestion.
Quickly fixing his expression, he said, Since everyone seems to be in agreement, I will follow as well. I am willing to sacrifice myself for our great cause.
Let us decide how many of us should take the Soul-Burning Invincibility Pill, then.
Three should be enough, Geuk-Sang said.
That is too many. By the time we have conquered the Central Plains, at least three of us should still be alive to rule the world, Ryeon-Pae immediately objected, intending to cut the number down by one.
The Blood-Crazed Divine Demon is right. Two people should suffice, Ja-Ryang supported Ryeon-Pae.
I agree, Won-Pae said.
What do you think, Myriad Poison Divine Demon? Geuk-Sang asked.
As they said, two of us should be enough, Cheon-Dok replied.
Great. Then, as agreed, two of us will consume a Soul-Burning Invincibility Pill if we are left with no other options.
Let us decide the order of drawing lots.
The chances of being picked are the same regardless of the order. Instead of wasting time, why dont we just draw based on seniority? Geuk-Sang suggested. Although some could have a preferred drawing number, they would not really gain any advantage regardless of whether they were the last or first to draw.
Sure, lets do that.
The other Divine Demons did not object.
As Geuk-Sang suggested, the lots were drawn in order of age. Ryeon-Pae and Geuk-Sang got the short end of the stick.
Ryeon-Pae and Geuk-Sang accepted the results without making a fuss. They did not have to take it unless they had no other options left anyway. If things worked out smoothly, they would not have to resort to it.
Believing there was little chance that they would be forced to take it, the two failed to realize that they could not afford to relax.
As the Nine Celestial Demons Sect prepared for the upcoming battle, the Central Plains Murim Alliance quickly made their way to Suining. Two days after leaving Guangan, they closed the distance enough to reach it in half a day.
Even so, the Nine Celestial Demons Sect remained in their camp, refusing to recklessly take the initiative. They intended to commence the fight on this open field, which was the perfect location for large-scale warfare since it did not provide any terrain advantage.
The demonic practitioners exuded confidence, believing that their forces were superior to their enemy.
Finally, the Central Plains Murim Alliance arrived on the plains where their campsite was.
Not long after, the two factions charged at each other, signaling the start of their battle.
