Chapter [385] The Heavenly Demon.
Upon the highest peak of Murim, a lone man clad in all-black sat.
Higher than even the clouds, higher than all. He was the heavens themselves!
His hair was as black as the night. And he was incredibly handsome as well. A chiseled face along with Jade-like skin. His eyes were as red as blood and he wore royal attire.
A robe of ebony adorned with intricate crimson embroidery which went to his knees, he wore ebony trousers as well. Which was both comfortable for normal life as well as battle.
Even though he was merely sitting, the air was shaking from his power! The waves of Demonic energy he subconsciously emitted made the world bend to his will.
"More came."
Ma Cheon said as he used his peerless eyes to gaze upon two youths who entered into the Forest of the Shadows.
"One is of Yin, whilst the other is of yang. An Interesting pair."
He commented and went back to drinking wine.
[You seem quite carefree.]
The voice of the tower resounded throughout the peak.
Ma Cheon took a big gulp of his alcohol and asked.
"What do you want now?"
He questioned the tower, his demonic energy surged forth like a raging sea and the Tower retreated its influence on the Demonic mountain.
[What do you think?]
Asked the tower. Ma Cheon looked at the skies with his tired eyes and scoffed.
"To annoy me again?"
[How harsh.]
Said the Tower, feeling hurt by Ma Cheon's remarks.
[The heavenly demon lives up to his name.]
It said, and Ma Cheon continued drinking his wine.
"Leave me alone."
[Did you brew that yourself?]
The tower, however, did not listen to the wishes of the Heavenly demon.
"Is there anyone left to brew it for me?"
He scoffed.
[...]
The tower fell silent. The entirety of Murim was dead…It was just him.
Only the Heavenly demon remained.
[You have maintained the mountain well.]
Commented the tower, trying to find any reason to continue the conversation.
Ma Cheon played along.
"I will not let my sect be disgraced by the vile shadow."
A layer of demonic energy that originated from Ma Cheon was spread all throughout the Demonic mountain. This vast Demonic energy kept the demonic mountain pure, fending off the Shadow Energy that plagued all of Murim.
It was an unbelievable feat, one man was fending off an entire world…filled with Shadow energy by himself.
Truly…Ma Cheon was the strongest.
[Commendable.]
Even the Tower respected it. The Heavenly demon was worthy of its respect.
The one man who fought the Shadow army, numbering in the billions for decades, as well as dealing with the Shadow-borne Aluman's ambushes.
For Decades…without a single moment of rest.
[I feel as if your wish will be granted.]
The words of the tower piqued the interest of the Heavenly demon.
"By the one who possesses Metal Qi?"
The heavenly demon asked as he used his eyes to peer into the shadowy Murim once again. He looked further than the Forest of Shadows and found him.
Daniel Khorsch. The one who was at the lead.
The heavenly demon remembered him quite well. He was the first challenger of his trial.
"Has he come back stronger?"
Asked the Heavenly demon.
[Who knows? But did you think I was talking about him?]
"..."
The Heavenly demon fell silent.
"The Youths of Yin and Yang."
He muttered. The tower's laughter echoed throughout the Mountain.
[Truly! Your insight is befitting the t.i.tle of Heavenly Demon.]
The heavenly demon paid no attention to the words of the Tower. He focused on Alan and Elijah present on the Twenty-first floor.
"They will not be able to complete my wish."
He said, losing interest in them.
His tired eyes stared into the empty wine bottle with disdain. He let out a sigh.
[Are you sure?]
However, the tower was adamant.
"..."
The heavenly demon could not understand.
"Why are you so…"
[Adamant? Excited?]
"..."
The tower interrupted the Heavenly demon with a voice filled with excitement.
"Yes."
Agreed the Heavenly demon, the tower was acting strange.
[How can I not be? When three brave youths come to Challenge the heavenly demon?!]
"..."
The heavenly demon silently listened to the rants of the tower.
[How could I not be Cheon Ma?! When they are fighting with everything they have?]
It truly liked to do this. Oh well, Cheon Ma didn't mind. Although he didn't show it, he liked the company the tower provided.
After centuries of Solitude, he liked having someone to talk to.
"You are strange."
He commented.
[Strange? I am just a reader. A viewer.]
Ma Cheon however, had a different opinion.
"A creep is what you are.
[...]
Cheon Ma gazed at the clouds below his feet. A circle of white clouds surrounded by black ones.
The white clouds seemed like a beacon in the sea of Black.
"How corrupt our world has become."
He said as he looked with disgust at the sea of black.
[Has it? I say it possesses quite a charm.]
The heavenly demon dismissed the words of the tower and continued gazing at the clouds.
[You really like to do that, don't you?]
The tower's voice echoed throughout the mountain again, But Ma Cheon paid it no heed and continued to gaze at the clouds.
[You better prepare yourself, Who knows, you might meet your end and your wish will be fulfilled.]
The heavenly demon let out a laugh as he heard the words of the Tower.
[What's so funny?]
Asked the tower, offended.
To 'demonstrate', The heavenly demon raised his hand and swung down calmly.
It was a swift and simple movement…but that simple movement had severed the sea of clouds in front of him. The clouds were split apart for as long as one could see.
[...]
The tower fell silent, taking in the magnificent display of power from The Heavenly Demon.
Ma Cheon began descending the mountain. But before leaving he said to the tower.
"Murim will not fall."
