Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon

oals from that apprentice, also was treading the same path currently.

It was as if the Six Seals of Destruction dropped into his hands like it was fate.

For Woon Seong, this martial art would definitely play a pivotal role for him in his revenge against Jwa Do-Gyeul.

‘That fucker, I’ll kill him.’

As Woon Seong recalled the face of Jwa Do-Gyeul, a surging and violent anger popped up inside of his head.
In all the times in the Cave of Latent Demons, the only time Woon Seong ever truly felt this rage was when he recalled that bastard’s face.

Perhaps Woon Seong’s emotions had been fluctuating since he was excited about the discovery of the Six Seals of Destruction.

‘Let’s not get too excited.’

Bit by bit, Woon Seong recollected his breath.

A scarlet aura of killing intent swirled around in Woon Seong’s eyes before disappearing altogether.

He didn’t forget.

He was just waiting to build his strength and bide his time accordingly.

His revenge would happen.
He would make sure of it no matter what, even if it took him countless years to achieve it.

‘Master…’

As an orphan, Woon Seong’s master was not just a man who taught him martial arts, but a father who had helped him rediscover what it meant to be human.
He had brought Woon Seong up, who was nothing but a measly orphan, practically on death’s door, to someone who could appreciate his own life.

‘To do so, I will use what I can, and I will take what I can.’

Even if that means using the power from the Cult of the Heavenly Demon!

Woon Seong clenched his fist.

Woodduck-

The sound of Woon Seong’s teeth grinding rang out in the room along with his knuckles popping in frustration.

He would wait patiently.

Until he could build enough strength to pursue his revenge whole-heartedly.

He was incredibly likely to die if he went out as he was now, trying to recklessly pursue his revenge on Jwa Do-Gyeul.

He had to focus on what he could do right now.

Woon Seong thought as such, and then admired the Six Seals of Destruction with a murderous glint in his eye.

However, there was also a look of utmost concentration as well.

Inside the stone chamber, only ragged and fierce breaths from Woon Seong could be heard.

After the trip to the Divine Demonic Vault, the schedule of the Cave of Latent Demons continued without much change.

The only difference was that one’s personal time to practice had increased.

The instructors would have normally made the children move according to the tight training schedule before dinner.

However, after leaving the Divine Demonic Vault, Woon Seong and the other children were given free time after finishing training before lunchtime.

Of course, it was a given time to learn the martial arts that they each took out of the Divine Demonic Vault.

Woon Seong made the best use of his time to learn the art of the Six Seals of the Destruction.

The qi flow required for the martial art was needed to be trained, along with the technique itself for his body.

‘The martial art is so strange in nature, it’s not easy to grasp at all.’

It was incredibly difficult to master the Six Seals of Destruction.
Even for Woon Seong, who had knowledge of the Spearmaster Sect’s original values and martial arts, this new technique was incredibly difficult, odd… and extremely dangerous.

The martial art could not even be pulled off in earnest if one did not have the correct body frame and firmness in their bone structure.
Otherwise the user’s body would be torn to shreds if they tried to complete their mastery of the martial art impatiently.

“Even so, the Six Seals of Destruction is a well-made martial art.’

As many generations of martial arts had been passed down since the creation of the martial art, Woon Seong could tell just how amazing it was to create such a dangerous and powerful martial art back then.

However, the analysis for finding the roots between the Spearmaster Sect and the Cult of the Heavenly Demon, was incredibly hard to divide.

‘It’s like trying to split a tree down the middle and expecting to find two main roots.’

This was the case for the martial art Woon Seong was learning that was passed down through texts from opposing cultures and practices.

‘However, that’s exactly why I can master the art itself.’

Line by line, Woon Seong analyzed the text and scripture from the booklet.

Of course, it was also important to learn the art with his body as well.

The difference between learning by simply reading and learning with the body was huge.

Whirl-

The spear in the hands of the Woon Seong moved.

The movement was unbelievably impressive, with the iron speartip twirling in a half crescent, hanging from his hands and feet.

‘This is the origin.’

The Spearmaster Sect’s main martial art unfolded in the hands of Woon Seong with his spear.

The Divine Spear of the Ending Night (覇道 流水)

The name of the spear art handed down in reverence to the spear of god, which erases all things, even the night, was the martial art his teacher had passed down to Woon Seong.

It was stable and soft compared to the flow from the Six Seals of Destruction and was the martial art his master had developed by himself.

…

The spear flows like water.

The stream and current of the stable water flow, traps the opponent in a sea of endless spear strikes.

The opponent who gets trapped by such spear arts, will be lost and drowning in the endless barrage of spears, unable to do anything.

…

The reason it was such a strong martial art, was because of the breath by breath nature of the art, and the stability within the structure of movements.

‘Next is Six Seals of Destruction.’

The iron spear, which was swirling all over the place performing the Divine Spear of Endless Night, disappeared.

Soon after, a series of heavy blows were swung.
The spear parted heavily in the air.

Boom-

It contained the power to smash even rocks in one go.

The air shook and cracked every time the spear in the hands of Woon Seong moved.

In other words, if the Divine Spear of Endless Night was water, the Six Seals of Destruction was fire.
The Six Seals of destruction flowed out like a lava that cracked through the molten earth and ravaged all living things to oblivion.

The movement of the spear was so destructive and powerful that Woon Seong’s body that he had been training rigorously, still couldn’t come out unscathed after practicing it.

‘This is a dilemma.’

The softness and consistent flow of the Divine Spear of Endless Night, and the extreme firepower from the Six Seals of Destruction.

In other words, if Woon Seong was able to somehow combine these two, he would be able to complete a new martial art that had never been seen before.

But to do this, it would be much harder than creating the cultivation method he created already in the Tempered True Blossom technique.

This was like directly mixing oil and water together.

Therefore, if he could combine the two somehow, he would create a dastardly new technique that would be unparalleled to any spear martial art in existence.

It’s not like it hadn’t been attempted before.
But none were able or capable to even try finding an ounce of success in combining two polar opposite techniques like this before.

‘But it’s still worth trying.’

The pursuit of extreme stability, and extreme destruction.

The two spear martial arts depicting these two natures that Woon Seong had, were already enough to be called treasures in all of Murim in terms of their profoundness.

However, if he could mix these two martial arts, which were already so high-level, that were able to be treasured as a Clan’s secret martial art, he would create a martial art only to be known in legends.

In addition, the generational difference between the two martial arts to master them on their own, was not much of a problem for Woon Seong as it would be for others.

‘What I have to pay attention to, is the mastery of both martial arts first, and creating a foundation to build upon.
If I can create this martial art successfully, those orthodox hypocrites will truly die by my hand!’

In terms of mastery between the two martial arts, Woon Seong could most likely master them both with his old body at that very moment.
However, the current body of No.
900 was not used to such movements quite yet. 

If it doesn’t work, I can always use other martial art techniques to cover up the flaws if I can’t mix the two of them perfectly.

‘Let’s do it.’

Woon Seong was not only excited for his revenge, but to learn and create new martial arts was any true martial artist’s greed.
Especially when Woon Seong held all the keys to power within his own knowledge, he was bound to be ready.

‘First we master these two separately, then… we create an entirely new martial art!’
