Thunder God's Reincarnation

After returning to the Baek Sword Sect’s manor, Mu-Gun immediately met with Cheon-Sang and informed him that a cave connected to the Hell Realm had appeared. He then asked Cheon-Sang to ensure that the Loyal Heart Alliance would prepare countermeasures against any other caves that might appear.

Using the Thunder God Enlightenment Spell, Mu-Gun had turned the Loyal Heart Alliance’s martial artists into Absolute-Realm masters. He had also guided Cheon-Sang and the six venerable elders to the Supreme Realm using the Thunder God Awakening Spell. As a result, the forces of the Loyal Heart Alliance became powerful enough to conquer murim even without Mu-Gun.

However, the Hell Realm’s Demon Gods and the demonic beasts were still stronger than they were. A large number of the demonic beasts that Mu-Gun defeated in Sirius’s territory were as strong as Absolute-Realm and Supreme-Realm masters.

The Loyal Heart Alliance wouldn’t be able to handle even just one cave connected to the Hell Realm. They could prepare all they wanted, but they still wouldn’t be able to do anything. Nevertheless, they could not just sit by and watch.

Realistically, Mu-Gun was the only one who could prevent the threat that the Hell Realm posed. It would certainly be helpful if the Light God’s incarnation, a member of one of the Three Greatest Mysterious Sects, appeared, but it was questionable whether they would actually reveal themselves.

Rather than just sitting around in the manor, Mu-Gun decided to help the spirits find the caves instead. He began by conducting an intensive search at Zhejiang Province, the base of the Baek Sword Sect and the Loyal Heart Alliance.

He used the power of the wind within the Infinite God Qi to take to the skies. In the air, he tracked down demonic qi with the Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes, which could detect energy as far as thousands of feet away.

Considering the Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes were even more sensitive to demonic qi, it shouldn’t have taken a long time to find the caves. Unfortunately, without any leads, the task still proved difficult to accomplish. For all he knew, there might not even be one in Zhejiang Province.

Still, Mu-Gun did not give up. Eventually, his efforts paid off. He picked up a trace of intense demonic qi coming from Mount Yandang. Following it, he reached the entrance of a cave similar to the one at Mount Wudang. Even the amount of demonic qi flowing out of it was the same.

Entering the cave without hesitation, Mu-Gun found himself before a mountain covered in snow and ice. Cold energy originating from the demonic qi swirled around it. It had little effect on Mu-Gun, who had absorbed the Ice Spirit King, but it was so powerful that even Absolute-Realm masters would have trouble enduring it.

At the peak of the mountain was a castle. Considering the ruler of this land would likely be there, Mu-Gun decided to go straight to the castle and defeat the Demon God. The cave would close if the Demon God was defeated anyway, so there was no need to go out of his way to deal with the demonic beasts.

Mustering wind energy, Mu-Gun soared to the sky and flew toward the summit of the snowy mountain. He also activated the Thunder God’s Shadow and imbued it with the power of wind, allowing him to move at the speed of light.

Mu-Gun reached his destination in no time at all. However, just as he was about to descend, he saw Black Demonic Crows below him—bizarre-looking demonic beasts under Demon God Raven’s command. They had the head, wings, and feet of a crow and the body of a giant.

Mu-Gun unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst at the Black Demonic Crows flying toward him, the rain of golden swords sending them plummeting back down.

Right after the Black Demonic Crows crashed to the ground, dozens of golden swords fell on them and exploded, shaking the entire castle. Before they could recover, Mu-Gun unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst again.

A thousand golden swords made of Infinite God Qi struck the beasts like lightning. By the time they thought of defending themselves, the swords were already penetrating through them. The following explosions shook the whole castle again, almost as if forcing it to crumble.

The Black Demonic Crows lay unmoving in the middle of the attack’s point of impact, which had been completely devastated and had sunk several feet. Dozens of golden swords were still embedded in their bodies.

Possessing Mythic-Realm power, the Black Demonic Crows were the most powerful among the demonic beasts under Raven’s control. However, in the face of Mu-Gun’s divinity, they were nothing but weak insects.

After wiping out all the Black Demonic Crows, Mu-Gun proceeded to enter the castle. However, before he could, he heard a terrifying shriek coming from the sky, a large soundwave surging along with it. To defend himself, Mu-Gun immediately activated the Golden Thunder God Star.

The collision between the two attacks created a blast so powerful that it pushed Mu-Gun back. Fortunately, the Golden Thunder God Star deflected most of the impact away, minimizing the damage he sustained.

Mu-Gun looked at where the soundwave came from, finding a Black Demonic Crow that was twice as large as the ones he fought earlier. He also had two black horns on his head.

Demon God Raven had come to greet Mu-Gun himself.

“I was wondering who the intruder was. It was just you, huh, Thunder God’s incarnation?” Raven said, sensing the Thunder God’s divinity in Mu-Gun. Soon after, he frowned. “No, I can feel another divinity inside you. Who are you?”

“Me? Would it answer you if I said that I am the one who will erase all of the Hell Realm’s Demon Gods from existence?”

“Keke! The small amount of divinity you have gained has gotten into your head.”

“I wonder if that is truly the case?”

Mu-Gun smirked as he allowed his divinity to burst out, covering him with a golden glow. Its power far exceeded the demonic divinity that Raven possessed.

“Impossible!” Raven exclaimed in disbelief.

“For you, maybe.”

Mu-Gun launched himself off the floor and soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he reached the Demon God’s altitude, extended his arm forward, and grabbed the Demon God’s neck.

In retaliation, the Demon God unleashed the Demonic Qi Claws, a technique that used demonic qi to create claws that could destroy everything it touched. However, despite how powerful it was, his attack still failed to penetrate the golden light enveloping Mu-Gun.

Raven’s most powerful attack was the Black Crow Roar, the technique he used earlier to greet Mu-Gun, but Mu-Gun’s grip on him was preventing him from using it. Hence, he flapped his black wings as hard as he could instead, creating a Demonic Qi Storm and engulfing Mu-Gun with it.

Amid the resulting explosion, the black feathers hidden inside the storm tried to penetrate the golden light surrounding Mu-Gun, but Mu-Gun’s divinity proved more powerful than Raven’s demonic divinity. Despite being imbued with demonic divinity, the feathers failed to even scratch the surface of Mu-Gun’s defense.

Their positions would have been reversed had the Demon God been able to exert all his strength, but the power he had access to right now was limited to the bounds of the lands that he had connected to the Central Plains.

To make matters worse, he hadn’t yet recovered the demonic divinity that he had exhausted when he formed a connection between his territory and the Central Plains. Hence, even though Mu-Gun had just recently risen to the rank of True Gods, his divinity still managed to corner Demon God Raven.

Using the Golden Thunder God Star, Mu-Gun blocked all of the incoming attacks. He then unleashed the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike through the grip that he had on Raven’s neck. This time, however, he applied the Ultimate Thunder Sword’s martial arts principle to the technique.

The Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike Mu-Gun had just launched and compressed ten thousand Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike into one. Not long after, Raven began to suffocate. The golden light that had shot out of MU-Gun’s hand had pierced into his soul and begun tearing it apart.

Raven tried to somehow protect his soul using his demonic divinity, but Mu-Gun’s divinity was too strong. After a brief struggle, his neck finally broke. His body drooped, putting all his weight into Mu-Gun’s hand.

Demon God Raven had been killed.

IMu-Gun held the Demon God up and thrust his free hand into his chest. After pulling out the Demonic Divinity Bead, he tossed his corpse aside.

Malicious demonic qi leaked out of the Demonic Divinity Bead, provoking Mu-Gun’s greed. Rejecting its temptation, Mu-Gun summoned a golden sword qi and stabbed it into the Demonic Divinity Bead. The golden sword qi’s divinity tore apart and extinguished the demonic divinity inside the black bead.

After a moment, Mu-Gun exited the dimension through the cave that appeared after the Demon God’s death. By the time he got out, it was already dark.

It took Mu-Gun less than an hour to reach the Baek Sword Sect’s manor in Shaoxing. As soon as he arrived, he met with Cheon-Sang and reported that he had dealt with the cave at Mount Yandang. He then returned to his residence to take a rest.

The next day, a carrier pigeon addressed to the Baek Sword Sect arrived from the Wudang Sect. The letter it delivered included a list of the newly discovered caves’ locations. It also mentioned that they had convened the Nine Prominent Sects and the Seven Great Families to discuss if they had discovered caves leaking out demonic qi in their respective territories.

During the meeting, Mount Hua Sect, Ami Sect, and the Great Huangfu Family each reported finding such a cave. They were located on Mount Hua, Mount Ami, and Mount Tai, respectively—all of which were full of spiritual energy.

Considering the two caves that Mu-Gun had cleared also appeared in areas with similar conditions, he concluded that they had to be opened in mountains rich in earth and spiritual energies.

Following his new theory, he immediately instructed the wind and earth spirits to search through the famous mountains around the Central Plains. Narrowing the scope of their search should increase the likelihood of discovering a cave.

Meanwhile, Mu-Gun himself dealt with the caves that had already been discovered. Considering the Demon Gods in those caves grew stronger with time, failing to slay them before they could regain their power could put him in danger. He did not have time to relax.

Mu-Gun headed to Mount Tai first, which was the closest to Shaoxing. He had gone there on a trip with his wives just a few months ago. He couldn’t help but regret not closely examining the energy surrounding it at that time. If he had, he would have discovered the existence of the caves much earlier, making it easier and safer for him to kill the Demon Gods.

However, it was still not too late. For as long as the spirits could find the caves in time and he cleared them as fast as he could, he would be able to annihilate the Demon Gods and their demonic beasts before the caves could fully open.

Mu-Gun activated the Thunder God’s Shadow and imbued it with wind energy, allowing him to reach Mount Tai in just four hours. As soon as he arrived, he flew over the mountain and used the Thunder God’s Heavenly Eyes to look for traces of demonic qi. freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)freewebnov(e)l

‘Found it!’

Mu-Gun descended after some time, having sensed huge amounts of demonic qi spreading from one of Mount Tai’s summits. Not long after, he finally found the cave he had been looking for.

Without hesitation, he walked into one of the Demon Gods’ territories.
