1047 - Childhood Friend of the Zenith

Chapter 1047: A Friend of the Peerless One Taecheon once proclaimed. "I shall conquer the Master of Myriad Worlds." The one he worshipped declared so. For even the supreme heavens or fate were in agreement, he merely followed their will. Granted wings, a pair, to soar high with the intentions bestowed upon him. Embodying their will, the man roamed the vast skies. "You shall seize the Master of Myriad Worlds." His master had commanded thus. How to capture the Master of Myriad Worlds? Though the question arose within him, he did not voice it. Regardless of possessing doubt, it did not matter. For the master's will had become his own. And as he harbored concerns, his master further reassured, "Fret not, my servant." "All shall unfold according to the heavens' design." As Taecheon decreed, so it would be. The man believed this to be true. * * * Grrrrrrrr—!!! The restless ashen sky. Below it, a shallow curtain glimmered, encasing the surroundings in a deep blue veil. A fragmented flow of life energy scattered in vain. As this trembling life force, akin to clouds, veiled the skies— "Hmm." The man exhaled gently, his gaze fixed forward. There lay the fallen Yarang, and before her, a being slumped in defeat. There was no movement. Though Yarang had succumbed to his attack, the one before him remained still. The dragon. A haughty breed long quelled by the master of Myriad Worlds. Once a race that sought to influence not only the Master of Myriad Worlds but also Taecheon and Changcheon. The Dragon Emperor, defying order and aspiring to become a world unto himself. It was said that he had been sealed by the Master of Myriad Worlds due to the world's wrath. "How is it." This vanished being stood now before him. Though the man questioned, in truth, "It no longer matters." Now, even that was irrelevant. The man subtly opened his palm to examine it. A stark white palm met his eyes, yet in his gaze, there was much more to see. "Brilliance." Glorious and full of life. Empowered by Taecheon’s benevolence, he harbored immense life force within his body. He had prepared, widening the vessel in advance by acting upon the master’s will. An elevated vessel. A body incomparable to its original form. "This." Is this divinity? A supreme and magnificent entity capable of becoming a master. The vessel able to fully encompass the power of a world. A vessel supposedly attainable only with the world's permission. He felt an unfathomable disparity compared to mere life forms. "It's splendid..." Become the master of Myriad Worlds. After hearing those words, all his doubts had vanished. Taecheon always had intent. However, "If there’s any regret..." He lamented not being able to become a more perfect vessel. From the start, if there was an issue, it was that the leader was far dumber than anticipated. The second problem was the early discovery of this place. If counting by time, about fifty to a hundred years. That span should have sufficed. It didn’t. And the third was, "It’s because of you." The unmoving, seated figure. A dragon, emerging in the Myriad Worlds to thwart his plans. This one was the issue. Perhaps all prior concerns were indeed trivial. Without this one, there wouldn't be any complications to begin with. Or was it? Perhaps. Perhaps... "It might have all been due to that one." How long ago was it from now? To the man, it felt like a mere instant. His master had introduced an outsider as a new general. The leader had vehemently rejected him, while Yusa had seemed fond, trailing after him. Ultimately, they were betrayed. For the fellow absconded with the seed of the Divine Tree. It’s said he vanished to establish some unknown organization called Volcano. The strange part was, "The master left that one unchecked." Despite the theft of the Divine Tree's seed, the Master of Myriad Worlds showed no interest in pursuing him. It seemed likely that Taecheon was correct in saying, "The Master of Myriad Worlds encountered a problem." Reflecting on the happenings of the Abyss and the master's subsequent movements, this seemed accurate. Something had gone awry in the Myriad Worlds. And, "I will not let it slip." The man had no intention of letting this opportunity pass. A surge, Life force coalesced and concentrated within his form. The air itself became a source of energy. Power surged through him. "Is this what it means to be a master?" An incomplete master. Not yet the world's ruler, but a body with the potential to be. Even that alone was of a vastly different caliber. An insurmountable distance, incomparable to the mundane. The man sensed it as he took a step forward. No sound was heard. Even the ground seemed to bow to his presence. "Have you given up." He posed the question. To the fragile, softly breathing form of Yarang. Feeling as if nearly half of her body was torn apart, if she could not regenerate, death seemed inevitable. She would not regenerate. For the man did not permit it. Yarang, slowly succumbing to death. He pondered as he observed her. "Astonishing." Truthfully, it was astonishing. All Yarang had was swift movement and information, yet— To harbor such strength. Moreover, to penetrate denseness and land a blow. What was it? This was his first encounter with such power. "To inflict upon divinity." Such lowly power should not have reached him. Yet, this power pierced. A power? Perhaps not. It was something other. What could it be? Although the question surfaced briefly, at this point, it didn’t matter much. He intended to eliminate it anyway. "And now, it shall be no more." He displayed the altered form. Boom--!! The Sky Wept. The ashen sky, resonating with his emotions, began to transform. Clouds gathered, encapsulating this space bestowed upon him by Taecheon. Yet with his elevated stature, it wouldn't be long before it influenced the entire realm of Myriad Worlds. Though he might not yet contest the Master of Myriad Worlds, "She won’t be able to move anyway." Now was the opportune time. The imperfect vessel can be appeased by circumstances. Recalling this, the man approached the one slumped on the ground. "It seems you've given up." Behind the shallow-breathing Yarang lay an unresponsive figure. He approached the young dragon. Possessing strength unparalleled even to generals. Could it be that he’s the successor following the death of the Dragon Emperor? "No, that can't be it." Having glimpsed the Dragon Emperor’s might, even this power fell short of reaching him. Surely, he was one of the most formidable among the surviving dragons. With this thought, he moved his hand. "And now, it's time for you to die." No more anomalies would occur. All would flow according to Taecheon's will. With this thought, he moved his hand. Swish! A hand sliced through the air with ease. Yet. "Hmm?" Something was amiss. "What’s this?" Why was nothing happening? The potent energy should have obliterated them without a trace, yet nothing happened. "What’s this?" While scanning the situation with a quizzical gaze, he noticed belatedly. "What the...?" The arm he had swung down had vanished. There were telltale signs of it being ripped away. What was happening? As he widened his eyes, unable to comprehend, he heard a sound. A thud. His eyes turned towards the sound. On the ground lay his arm. Simultaneously, the seated figure began to rise. The being he had referred to as a young dragon stood. Just as he was about to frown at the sight— "You...?" VnJ3dTNyRXdaNE9POGIxQ2ZRWWZwQ3NsYlZwMm5hQ0Zma01FZi9FcUlTZXNjWjgrdVdrdW9JcGxZazNXVGJGSw The dragon turned back to look. In that moment. Boom! The man's vision flickered. Rustle! Something crumbled. Debris from the sky struck the man’s face. "...?" Where was he? Inside a building. A building he had pierced through, now collapsing. The man promptly escaped. Rumble. Clearing the building debris, his distance felt peculiar. This was the edge. The edge of the space granted by Taecheon. Where he originally stood was the center, but oddly far now. Could it be— "Did I lose consciousness?" Had he lost consciousness? Was he flung this far during the impact, briefly losing his senses? "Impossible..." How could that be? It was an absurd notion. Furrowing his brows, he spread his wings. Whoosh--!!! Three pairs of white wings unfurled, accelerating him. He soared back towards the center. His vision shifted instantly. The man’s body had already arrived at the center. "...Hmm?" Arriving, he squinted his eyes. Gone. "Where did they go?" The two beings that should have been there were gone. Upon seeing this, the man surveyed the energy of the earth. They must have hidden somewhere—but where? Even after searching, he couldn't sense them. If not earth, then the sky? Just as he was about to grasp that, sensing a power emanating, "...!" He felt it. Directly behind— Thump! "Ugh!" Boom—!!! The man was struck, plummeting to the ground. The immense impact shattered the ground. Crack! "Grrr—!!" Overwhelmed by the force weighing down, the man struggled. Though he drew upon his strength, he couldn't push it away. He rolled his eyes to see who was pinning him down. There— "Growl—." A beast covered in white fur stood. A colossal creature with violet eyes and a multitude of white tails. 1 Martial Arts, 4 Comments 3.1 / 81 공명참 2024.10.28 09:27 신고 This time it's a gumiho?
