I must stop it.

This is the first thing Jeon Myeong-hoon feels when he witnesses [it].

The Red Lightning Heavenly Tribulation Method, the voice of lightning, from the bottom of his soul to the tip of his flesh.

Every part which constitutes the existence known as Jeon Myeong-hoon is ringing alarm bells like mad.

'IwilldieIwilldieIwilldieIwilldieIwilldieIwilldieIwilldieifIcan'tstopitIwilldie.'

"Huaaaaaah!"

Jeon Myeong-hoon, quicker than anyone else, dashes towards Jin Byuk-ho to snatch the Heavenly Lightning Banner from his hand, and half out of his senses, infuses it with 'power.'

Qi (), Soul (), Fate ().

Instincts from three planes of existence lead Jeon Myeong-hoon, forcibly engraving into his mind the method to wield the power of the Red Lightning Heavenly Tribulation, the ultimate authority of the Heavenly Golden Thunder Body.

Almost instinctively, he strengthens the [seal] on the Heavenly Lightning Banner and, using the power of heavenly lightning, stimulates the plane to tear through the dimensional barrier.

The voice of lightning whispers to him.

[That being] cannot fully come here.

It merely revealed its gaze using the Heavenly Lightning Banner as coordinates.

Therefore, if you expel the Heavenly Lightning Banner outside the dimension, [that being] won't be able to come here. That's what it is telling him.

With his eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth, Jeon Myeong-hoon grips the Heavenly Lightning Banner and tears open a dimensional rift, attempting to push it inside.

However, the Heavenly Lightning Banner refuses to go in.

A clear and resonant female voice reaches Jeon Myeong-hoon's ears.

[Ahahahaha...Myeong-hoon-ah, Myeong-hoon-ah. My grateful Myeong-hoon-ah.]

Rustle...

A white-haired woman with slender, jade-like fingers suddenly appears in front of Jeon Myeong-hoon, caressing his cheek.

[I must destroy the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect. The master needs to see you. The great God of the Heavenly Punishment needs to grasp the thread of fate left by the Golden Deity and erase his traces. So, my dear Myeong-hoon, stop this.]

"Grghhhhh!"

Seeing the white-haired woman whose face isn't clearly visible, Jeon Myeong-hoon feels something bursting in his mind.

It's a memory.

The memory of hearing this woman's [name] when he entered the Thunder Tribute Hall!

'Why, why haven't I paid attention to this memory all this time?'

Jeon Myeong-hoon himself can't understand.

Certainly, that day.

Hadn't Seo Eun-hyun given him an ominous warning about the Heavenly Lightning Banner?

Even if it isn't true, Jeon Myeong-hoon had almost forgotten everything about that moment except for her [name] up until now.

But at this moment.

Jeon Myeong-hoon can tell by looking at Zhengli.

"Myeong-hoon-ah, what are you doing!"

"Why are you suddenly snatching the Heavenly Lightning Banner!"

"Do you intend to betray the sect like Seo Eun-hyun!"

Seeing the elders of the sect, whose eyes are unusually crazed, suddenly screaming at Jeon Myeong-hoon holding the Heavenly Lightning Banner, he can tell.

The Red Lightning Heavenly Tribulation Method, the voice of lightning, is telling him.

All this time.

Everyone from the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect, including Jeon Myeong-hoon, had been enchanted by this monster.

Jeon Myeong-hoon remembers.

Up until now, the voice of lightning had been of [two kinds].

The somewhat sticky and bewitching voice that taught the Red Lightning Heavenly Tribulation Method before Seo Eun-hyun's betrayal.

And after Seo Eun-hyun fled with the Heavenly Lightning Banner, a voice much weaker and smaller than the seductive one, but gentle and pure.

Only today does he realize that the owner of the first voice is the entity before him.

"Jeon Myeong-hoon! Do you not hear the words of the Supreme Sect Master!?"

As if he can't see [that being] within [the heavens].

As if he can't see Zhengli, who has clearly revealed herself.

Jin Byuk-ho, with his eyes turned upside down, attacks Jeon Myeong-hoon.

Kwarururung!

Jin Byuk-ho's lightning bolt falls on Jeon Myeong-hoon.

Although the lightning is absorbed immediately, Jeon Myeong-hoon feels his concentration on pushing the Heavenly Lightning Banner into the dimensional rift waver.

"You! Get your hands off the Heavenly Lightning Banner now!"

"Do you wish to be like Seo Eun-hyun, you traitorous wretch!"

"You!!!"Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Jeon Myeong-hoon clenches his teeth.

His family is scolding him.

Not of their own volition, but because of this monster before them!

Only the Red Lightning Heavenly Tribulation Method and the pure voice of lightning are protecting him from Zhengli's clutches.

But.

[Myeong-hoon-ah.]

As Zhengli once again calls Jeon Myeong-hoon's name, he himself feels the strength leaving his arms.

Being called by name by Zhengli, he desires to entrust everything to her.

Desires to devote himself.

Desires to return to her.

"Ah, no..."

Jeon Myeong-hoon clenches his teeth as he looks at [that being] revealed in the sky.

He looked down at Jin So-hae, who is looking up at him.

"They're, my family...!"

[Myeong-hoon-ah.]

As she calls Jeon Myeong-hoon's name once again, he is engulfed in a terrifying sensation.

Deep within his memories.

Suddenly, his childhood comes to mind.

He recalls his kindergarten days.

At that time, Zhengli, who was his kindergarten teacher, whispered while caressing Jeon Myeong-hoon's entire body.

Myeong-hoon-ah, you must listen well to me.

'Ah, no. There was no teacher like you!'

During his elementary school years.

He recalls all his homeroom teachers from first to sixth grade.

All of Jeon Myeong-hoon's homeroom teachers were long white-haired women.

'No, don't talk nonsense!'

In middle school, Jeon Myeong-hoon recalls a girl with white hair who was his classmate.

And his homeroom teacher during middle school was also a white-haired woman for all three years.

'Ah, no...'

During high school.

Jeon Myeong-hoon remembers the hairstyle that was popular among his classmates.

At that time, all the girls came to school with long white hair.

Ziiing!

As soon as my thoughts reach 'Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens,' I feel my sanity returning and stop my hands that were involuntarily trying to take a prayer position.

"Ha, haha..."

Cold sweat flows over me.

That person, no, [that being] isn't trying to control me nor harbors any malice.

It merely conveyed a huge [will] to Zhengli, and I, who had learned the Lightning Path Method, happened to overhear that [will].

I don't even understand what the [will] means.

Yet, merely overhearing a [will] with no malice almost destroyed all my resolutions and determination, nearly turning me into a wreck.

'So this, is the gap between me and a Governing Immortal...'

I manage to stand up with my trembling body and continue to look up at the sky.

Plop!

Both of my eyeballs burst.

It doesn't matter.

Quickly regenerating my eyeballs, I prevent them from bursting with the energy of Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens.

I begin the ritual in the darkness.

Wo-woong!

As I activate Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens, the celestial energy begins to change.

Kurung, Kururung...

At the same time, very familiar entities begin to poke their heads out.

Dark clouds.

The ones that always interfered with my cultivation.

During the Qi Refining stage, how much did I despair because of those dark clouds?

Kugugugu!

It's not a typical celestial phenomenon.

The dark clouds summoned by Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens have the exact same feeling as [those] dark clouds caused by Heavenly Rejection during my Qi Refining stage.

They are clouds formed by fate.

Specifically, they are clouds formed by disastrous calamity.

As the gaze of the Owner of Heavenly Punishment is momentarily obscured by the dark clouds, cutting off communication with her master, I feel Zhengli looking towards me as she looks up at the sky.

Calamity gathers and gathers, becoming a power strong enough to twist the fate of the heavens.

This is a ritual that is never auspicious.

Therefore, to safely complete this ritual, a sacrificial offering is needed.

"I offer."

The offering of the ritual is limited to those who possess the power of the 'Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder.'

And being expelled from the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect means more than just being chased away from the sect.

Being 'separated' from the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect means becoming 'another Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect' oneself.

This is the basis on which I asked Hon Wei to recognize me as another Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Offering the power of those who possess another form of Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder as the sacrificial offering.

That is the Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens Technique.

But that means 'oneself' is also included in the range of offerings.

I reverse part of the Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens Technique's incantation.

Tsupaah!

Just as the essence of curses and blessings merely depends on the presence or absence of the heart.

Perhaps the difference between devilish arts and cultivation (orthodox) methods is also a matter of how the heart flows.

Contrary to what Yang Su-jin intended, the Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens Technique begins to unfold in a completely different form.

Tststststst!

I fuse the power of the Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens Technique within my Nascent Soul with the Yin Soul Ghost Incantation using the Sea of Righteousness and Mountain of Grace.

Simultaneously, I reverse the activated Yin Soul Ghost Incantation and the White Orchid Blessing Incantation.

Paaaah!

At the same time, the curses that covered the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect in the form of a massive Taiyin are all reversed into blessings,

And the blessings that held the center of Taiyin in the form of Lesser Yang become the center of Taiyang in the form of Lesser Yin.

Yin and Yang reverse, and at the same time, the Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens Technique combined with them also reverses!

Patsutststst!

Accompanied by white orchids blooming everywhere, I reach out my hands towards the sky.

Originally a ritual that sacrifices everything to complete oneself.

But, at this moment, Yang Su-jin's legacy is completely shattered.

A madman who sacrifices himself to protect everything has taken up his will.

Kugugugugu!

The calamity-laden dark clouds in the sky begin to pour down towards me.

"I offer myself as the Sacrificial Offering, o fate. Please!"

Kwaeng, Kwarururung!

From various places within the dark clouds, fierce azure lightning flashes and begins to fall all over the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect.

"Please divert the fate of destruction!"

Kwarurururung!

Azure lightning strikes from all directions.

The blue lightning, which always sought to kill and obstruct my cultivation, now, at this moment, strikes everyone in the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect without killing them, altering the celestial energy bestowed upon them.

Kugugugugugu!

I feel all the calamity-ridden dark clouds enter me, shedding a bitter cold sweat.

My celestial energy is changing.

Not a mere great misfortune.

I have never seen such an ominous calamity before.

And as the dark clouds enter me, allowing the sky to be visible again,

I am able to meet the gaze of the Owner of Heavenly Punishment.

'Ah...'

I realize.

The Owner of Heavenly Punishment is enraged.

At the same time, Zhengli, who has been looking at me for a while, reaches out her hand towards me.

[Seo Eun-hyun.]

"...!"

[Seo Eun-hyun.]

I watch Zhengli tensely.

[Seo Eun-hyun.]

Zhengli calls my name three times in a row.

Translator Notes: Author did a thing where you read the even and odd words separately to form two phrases. Of course, it looks really bad in English so here's what they mean:

"Were you within the body of Vast Cold, Essence of the Great Heavenly Punishment? Return now to this great immortal."

"Now that it has been found, I will erase the traces of the Golden Deity from the Three Thousand Worlds."
