Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Chapter 295: Entirely Different Progression (1)

I have to come up with a solution,

Seol-Hwi thought.

He struggled to block the Demon Lord and Yupae’s offense, saying that it would not happen.

It was a combined effort of two beings who are the best. One was Supreme Demon while the other was beyond Supreme Demon and also had power from a different world.

There was a limit to simply pushing away this with his exorcist power.

There were only two ways to counter this bizarre aura which consumed not just sword energy but also enhanced energy.

Destroy it with a higher level of martial arts or press down with similar energy…

When his mind went through everything, this insane thought passed through the mind of Seol-Hwi.

The Third Disciple, the Demon Lord’s trump card which drove her to her death.

Great Absorption Technique!

The power which the Soulless use, he had never even thought it could be different.

However, simply thinking about it, it was true that the Demon Lord and the Third Disciple had accomplished it, so it was obvious that when he thought about it, he also thought why couldn’t he also try it.

If only he could get it… I might do it.

Of course, it was not possible right away.

The reason why it had “Great” in its name from ancient times was because it required not just complex martial arts, but similar thoughts and a smart brain.

The way to deal with the energy was different, and the way to use it was to inflict damage on the opponent.

But right—

It cannot be so impossible.

Counter it. If it was a complex principle that could not be learned, then make the other person use it and experience it.

As the name implied, the technique and martial arts was meant to suck in the internal energy of others. If the pain through the body can be said to be experience, the system that looks down on the world will surely respond with a result.

Of course… this idea is closer to guess in a way, just a gamble.

Even so, he could not think of a better solution now. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

So, he showed the Demon Lord an opening first. When he properly held his hand, he waited for the Demon Lord to use it.

“Great Absorption Technique.”

Crack!

Euk!

And Seol-Hwi felt a pain which was difficult to understand. The arts being used was not just sucking the energy from the dantian.

Through the arm which was being held, to the energy spreading in the body, he disrupted all the veins which were circulating the energy and was tearing them to pieces.

It was not just a technique, it was shaking the blood. As a result, it was a property unique to the method of sucking the essence of the opponent.

A little bit…

But even in the midst of that pain, there was something that made the eyes of Seol-Hwi shine, and thanks to the gamble he took, the system was ready to give him a decent reward.

<Understand the structure of Absorption Great Technique.> <You learned the martial arts.>

“Absorption Great Technique.”

After that, Seol-Hwi’s counter attack continued.

Crack!

He stretched his hand out to the stomach of the Demon Lord, and the internal energy of the entire body which got sucked away, was pulled back. But it did not end there. A completely foreign energy came through his hands and into the dantian.

Euk!

This was unexpected.

What Seol-Hwi expected was that his internal energy would not be sucked out anymore and that the Demon Lord’s energy would be drawn into him

But he overlooked the fact of this unknown energy residing within the body of the Demon Lord.

Crack!

To make matters worse, he could not come to his senses due to the aftermath of this unknown energy rushing in.

In the end, it was Seol-Hwi and not Demon Lord who had to step back first.

Puak!

“Uh. Uh. How…”

The Demon Lord was in shock, his facial expression showing how he could not understand what was happening.

Was it because the nature of the absorption was different from what he thought?

Originally the chance was to just stop the opponent.

“Kuak.”

Of course, Seol-Hwi could not move due to the pain. An energy that could not be controlled at all was running through his veins.

The energy twisting in his veins in the early stages was no different than the path through which the other worldly energy was moving.

However, as if the path was being flooded together, the means to control the energy was lost. Now, the situation was not just a mere experience, but a noticeable side effect.

<Supreme Demon [OFF]> <Supreme Demon [ON]> <Supreme Demon [OFF]> <Supreme Demon [ON]>

This…

He did not even control it, but the change of the realm moved on its own. And that was not all. The energy of the other world extended to the nature of Seol-Hwi energy.

Supreme Master and Supreme Demon.

The type of realm was constantly changing without being fixed to one. As if changing in real time, his condition was extremely deteriorating. And in the end—

It made him doubt his eyes.

<Supreme Demon [?]> <Supreme Master [?]>

What is this…

The “?” sign he had seen before. His condition was turning so serious that the system could not define it.

“Are you fine?”

On the other hand, when the Demon Lord was suffering with a half confused expression, Yupae approached to check his condition.

“Euk. Eukkk! What is this internal energy!”

Seol-Hwi’s internal energy was absorbed by the Demon Lord through the technique. And it was not an ordinary one.

It was not that he suffered side effects like Seol-Hwi, but it was a kind which was difficult to understand.

How is this… it isn’t possible!

Yin and Yang, righteous and demon, light and darkness.

All the opposite principles of the world which make up the universe were now mixed. It could not be like this at all.

Powerful energy from the demonic arts and righteous energy that would not mix were now flowing calmly. But just what did that guy do to have this?

The internal energy which could not be matched was caught in here, and within it was the pure demonic energy flowing.

In order to control the internal energy which had its own flow, one had to choose one of the two.

One was to separate them and absorb the two energies on their own, or to neutralize one of them.

However, with the martial arts of the Demon Lord, both of them did not seem to happen.

“Put them all out. If it is an internal energy which is out of control, one has to just accept it.”

After hearing the situation, Yupae expressed his opinion, and the Demon Lord nodded. It was a coveted power, but it was out of control.

Then there was only one way out of the current method, to abandon it.

In the end, he began to push back the energy which was stolen from Seol-Hwi.

Just who is that guy…

The Demon Lord was shocked at the amazing internal energy of Seol-Hwi.

That one, it was completely incomprehensible.

Let us put aside the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts which are taught to the disciples alone and their master, the Heavenly Demon, who alone knows it.

Absorption Great Technique?

Was that not the last trick which the Demon Lord himself had, with just a handful of people who even learned it in the sect?

But for the opponent to actually get used to it.

“Uhhh…”

Thud

On the other hand, Seol-Hwi was collapsing.

This unknown energy which he accepted without fear, he could not absorb it nor control it, it just ran wild.

Tuk

Seol-Hwi’s pale face had veins standing out, even showing signs of suffocation.

“Kuku…. This, I don’t have to use my skills for this right?”

The Demon Lord, who barely came to his senses, had a bitter smile. He was also in a form of crisis until a while back, but still, he was a Supreme Demon who had Yupae help him.

Thanks to that, the Demon Lord slowly let go of his stubbornness and accepted the energy.

But the other side has no one to help them. So even if they did not fight, Seol-Hwi would slowly die on his own.

“Kuak. Ackkkk.”

Actually, as the Demon Lord expected, Seol-Hwi’s physical condition was getting more and more extreme. The uncontrollable black aura crossed all of his veins and covered his body.

Anything…

In the midst of this, the only thing Seol-Hwi could do was—

<Demon Spirit Blood is being used.>

He was slowly recovering his internal energy and health with the pill.

Fortunately, when his body recovered a little, the black energy which was rampaging, stopped for a moment.

“Kuak!”

He recovered his veins and began to handle it. Seol-Hwi turned his eyes to the last remaining pills.

<Purple Cloud Confusion Pill is being used.>

He used it to calm himself.

“Ah, this…”

He realized later that his decision was wrong. The Purple Cloud Confusion Pill. This was the energy which was the basis of Mount Hua’s self recovering internal energy, and it did not harmonize with his internal energy.

So, the energy of Purple Cloud, which would normally have been out of the way, entered the body of Seol-Hwi, which was running out of control and caused an abnormal reaction.

Demonic arts, righteous martial arts, Purple Cloud martial arts, and other worldly martial arts.

All four energies were starting to fight within the body of Seol-Hwi.

“Ahhhh.”

Even Seol-Hwi could not stand it. Was it not an unexpected situation where the worst was happening in the worst situation?

Here was pain and hallucinations to the point of losing consciousness. As a result, an obvious harmony was being initiated.

I’ll die if I lose my mind now!

Seol-Hwi knew the current situation better than anyone. Whether his will would get broken or his mind was lost, or he gets possessed by something—

All of those would lead to immediate death. However, an increasingly unbearable situation was coming.

Just like death was approaching.

However—

8… 7…

The conditions which had been forgotten due to his anxiousness were lifted. And this time—

5… 4…

The restrictions that had been tying Seol-Hwi down until then came to an end.

3… 2… 1….

<Time Attack has ended.> <Endure 900 seconds. You have succeeded in the mission.>

He wanted to hold on, but it was not at a level that he could control and hold on and with the numbers disappearing, Seol-Hwi vision darkened and tried to lose consciousness.

Just in time, apart from that, this thing appeared before him.

<You can choose one of the three rewards for surviving the difficult challenge.> ?You can escape from here. ?Remove the bad energy within the body. ?Proceed with the current situation.

“…!”

Looking at the choices, Seol-Hwi had a hunch.

The three rewards—

If the first of them was the way to keep his life safe, then the second was to be determined and fight the enemies.

But the third, if he could continue, this was a choice he did not understand. What was being given as a reward was now an extension to his hell?

It did not seem like it could be like that.

What was clear was that it would be the first choice which will be worth a lot more.

<Do you want to select ‘You can escape from here’?>

“…”

So Seol-Hwi made a difficult decision.

—to see the end.

Rather than doubting the choice to be a trap, he wanted to be able to not avoid real life decisions. The many choices he had been through, he learned a lot from them.

In the end, it was the general choice that didn’t want some higher reward now, but a better one later.

<You have chosen ‘Proceed with the current situation’?>

“Warrior.”

What he looked at when he opened his eyes was the hands of a boy on his head, Songhwa.

He was talking to Seol-Hwi with a pale face that had lost its blood and had a slightly detached look.

“This is the final choice I can make and pass on.”

“…?”

“…It will not be of much help. Just show the path in the end, and you will have to do everything yourself.”

Seol-Hwi did not understand. What was Songhwa saying?

Could it be that he would give him uncontrollable energy?

And this caught his eye. Somehow, the four energies stopped colliding and the setting of the state where everything was happening normally happened.

<Supreme Master [ON]> <Supreme Demon [ON]>

When he saw Songhwa again like that.

“I will rule the energy of the other world. If you can control these four energies, you will be able to rise one step higher than you are now. When that time comes…”

Cough

Songhwa smiled as he coughed up a spurt of blood.

“No one can hold against you.”

Right.

The intervention of Songhwa, who knew how to control the energy of the other world, to control it and make it his own.

It was to be a stepping stone to another level.

Right then.

<Supreme Master [ON]> <Supreme Demon [ON]>

On top of that came an unknown one.

<Profound Master [OFF]> <Profound Demon [OFF]>

One could experience a higher world than now…

It was the final stage that martial artists could reach.
