Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 286

After descending from Mount Tian, Chaos and his demonic beasts swiftly devastated the Xinjiang Province. Unlike those who came out of forcibly opened caves, they were already earth-shatteringly powerful by the time they stepped into the Central Plains, having regained all their strength.

After laying waste to the Xinjiang Province, Chaos and his demonic beasts quickly passed through the Qinghai and Sichuan Provinces, which had already been ravaged, and began their invasion of Hubei Province.

When the spirits delivered news of the Demon Gods invasion to him, Mu-Gun immediately made his way to the border of the Sichuan and Hubei Provinces to stop it. One hundred fifty Loyal Heart Alliance and the Central Plains Murim Alliance martial artists, all of whom had reached the Absolute Realm or even higher, accompanied him.

Unfortunately, even though they also had the four Spirit Kings and a thousand spirits among their ranks, they still had a huge numerical disadvantage against Chaos nearly three thousand demonic beasts.

However, Mu-Gun believed in his own power. His fight with Chaos would dictate the fate of the Central Plains. If he could take him down, they should be able to easily wipe out the demonic beasts. Hence, although the martial artists with him knew that they were outnumbered, they did not worry too much. After all, they believed in Mu-Gun.

Soon, Chaos and his army appeared in the distance. Mu-Gun summoned the four Spirit Kings and the spirits. Giants made of wind, ice, fire, and earth energies being summoned at once made for quite an impressive sight.

The spirits imposing existence allowed the martial artists overwhelmed by the presence of Chaos and his demonic beasts to once again muster their courage.

Satisfied with their resolute expressions, Mu-Gun said, "This battleour last standwill determine the fate of the Central Plains! Our world will be destroyed if we fall here! The enemy forces may be strong, but if you fight with no regard for death, I am certain that we will be able to stop them! Let us lay down our lives for the Central Plains!

"For the Central Plains!"

"For the Central Plains!"

The martial artists determined shouts echoed across the fields.

"Your resolve has etched itself deep in my heart! Your noble spirit and courage will forever be recorded in history. To battle!"

"Raaaaagghhh!"

Steeling his resolve once more, Mu-Gun summoned and wore the Dragon Scale Divine Armor. He then flew toward Chaos and his three thousand demonic beasts. The four Spirit Kings and the spirits under their command followed right behind.

"Let us go as well!"

The martial artists from the Loyal Heart Alliance and the Central Plains Murim Alliance also charged into battle.

Noticing Mu-Gun and the spirits flying toward them, the demonic beasts let out a terrifying shriek and rushed forward. Chaos himself stayed behind, watching the situation seemingly without a care in the world.

As soon as the demonic beasts pounced at him, Mu-Gun unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst. From above, golden sword qi struck down the demonic beasts serving as vanguard, sending them crashing to the ground. The Earth Spirit King then split the earth and buried them.

Using the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst again, MU-Gun took out even more demonic beasts. Right after, he flew toward Chaos. The demonic beasts attempted to stop him as he flew over their heads, but he easily blasted them away by letting a golden flash explode out of him. Soon, he landed right in front of his target.

"You are certainly no normal incarnation. I am amazed that you managed to rise to the ranks of True Gods. I understand now why the other thirty-five Demon Gods were so easily defeated, Chaos said.

"Your fate will be no different. I will take you down myself, Mu-Gun firmly replied.

"Keke! You're going to take me down? Do you really believe that's possible?"

"Now that I have seen you in person, I am more than certain that it is."

Mu-Gun's confident demeanor made Chaos burst into laughter. "Kahaha! I will use your demise to show you how delusional you are."

Chaos stretched out his hand toward Mu-Gun, firing several spheres of dark energy. Facing the threat head-on, Mu-Gun extended both his arms forward and retaliated using the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike, stacking layers of golden hands in front of him. The two techniques exploded on collision, the resulting shockwave spreading in all directions and completely devastating their surroundings.

"Amazing, Chaos praised.

With both hands, he mustered a pillar of dark qi and sent it falling on Mu-Gun. Mu-Gun tried to dodge the Dark Demonic Pole, but the dark qi leaking out of it shackled him down, preventing him from moving.

Mu-Gun swiftly mustered a flash of golden light to cut the dark qi restraining him, then dodged to the side. Right after, the Dark Demonic Pillar crashed and exploded, splitting the ground that he had been standing on in half.

Although still astonished by the Dark Demonic Pole's earth-shattering power, Mu-Gun immediately summoned an Ultimate Thunder Sword. He then slipped into Chaos side and swung the sword at him.

Before he could connect his attack, a Dark Demonic Pillar burrowed through and threatened to pierce his side, forcing him to turn and defend himself. The clash created a strong gravitational force that suppressed and pushed him back.

Giving Mu-Gun no time to rest, Chaos reached out to the sky and dropped a bigger and longer Dark Demonic Pillar on him. In response, Mu-Gun unleashed the Infinite Thunder Sword, firing ten thousand golden sword qi from the ground to the incoming pillar. However, it easily blew them up and shattered them.

Losing none of its momentum, Chaos attack continued falling toward Mu-Gun, momentarily flustering him. Regaining his composure, he cast the Breath magic that was inherently engraved in the Dragon Scale Divine Armor.

A Flame Breath soared from his chest to the sky, engulfing the Dark Demonic Pillar and pushing it back. A moment later, the heat and pressure broke it into pieces.

Even more Dark Demonic Pillars, which Chaos had created in the meantime, fell around Mu-Gun and planted themselves deep into the ground. Afterward, they released and linked up dark energies, forming a wall around Mu-Gun. In an instant, Chaos had completely trapped Mu-Gun in the Soul-Destroying Chaos Array, the strongest attack, and the one he was most proud of, in his arsenal. An endless rain of dark spheres would tear those trapped within its walls to pieces and extinguish their souls before they could ever come out.

As if following the proper procedure, the Dark Demonic Pillars sent dark spheres hurtling toward Mu-Gun. Mu-Gun immediately used the Golden Thunder God Star to defend himself, but despite being his best defensive technique, one of its nine layers soon began to crack. Unable to withstand the neverending bombardment, the first layer eventually shattered.

At this rate, Mu-Gun knew that it would only be a matter of time before all the layers were destroyed. He had to shake off the storm of dark spheres and escape somehow. He could certainly use the Ultimate Thunder Sword to get him out of this situation, but to use it, he would have to deactivate the Golden Thunder God Star first.

The Ultimate Thunder Sword was a technique far too complicated to be used at the same time as the Golden Thunder God Star. However, deactivating the latter would leave him defenseless against the dark spheres.

Unlike his body, his Dragon Scale Divine Armor should be able to weather the storm for some time. He had no idea how long his armor could hold out, much less if it could buy enough time for him to unleash the Ultimate Thunder Sword, but he had no other choice.

'Might as well give it a shot!'

Mu-Gun deactivated the Golden Thunder God Star and immediately began creating the Ultimate Thunder Sword. The dark spheres began to bombard him at the same time, chipping away at the Dragon Scale Divine Armor. Fortunately, thanks to its ability to deflect any external shocks, Mu-Gun was able to focus entirely on executing his plan.

The relentless attacks eventually began to break the Dragon Scale Divine Armor apart, making Chaos smile triumphantly. Mu-Guns sudden deactivation of the Golden Thunder God Star could only mean that he was attempting to prepare something, but it no longer mattered. He had run out of time. The Dragon Scale Divine Armor would soon break, allowing the dark spheres to tear Mu-Gun and his soul apart.

Finally, the Dragon Scale Divine Armor shattered.

"It's over!"

Confident of his victory, Chaos channeled even more of his demonic energy into the Soul-Destroying Chaos Array. As he did, a cluster of golden lights burst out from Mu-Gun. Amid his dangerously desperate moment, he succeeded in unleashing the Ultimate Thunder Sword.

In a single stroke, the golden lights swept away the incoming dark sphere storm, causing them to explode. It then continued to expand until it pierced through the Dark Demonic Pillars maintaining the Soul-Destroying Chaos Array, causing them to fall apart. Afterward, it turned into a huge sword and swung down at Chaos.

Sensing the enormous energy in the golden sword, Chaos strengthened his Demonic Qi Armor as much as he could. However, although the sword failed to penetrate his armor, it contained so much power that it still pushed him back a great distance.

"Kugh!"

Skidding to a stop before he could get pushed too far, the Demon God tried to shake off the golden sword that was still digging into his Demonic Qi Armor. He then tried to launch a counterattack, but dozens of golden sword qi rained down on him before he could.

The Demon Gods expression stiffened. His instincts were telling him that he would not be able to stop the incoming attack.

Explosions erupted as the swords hit Chaos. Unable to withstand the onslaught, his armor began to crack. It shattered not long after, allowing the projectiles to pierce into him.

"Urgh!"

With his soul shaken by the impact, Chaos heavily staggered. As he did, Mu-Gun appeared right in front of him, a huge golden sword in hand.

"Never try to cross over to this world again.

Mu-Gun thrust the blade of his sword right in the middle of Chaos forehead. Feeling his soul being ripped apart, the latter screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.

"Kwarrgh!"

Chaos, one of Hell Realm's Great Demon Gods, had been slain.

Unfortunately, the fight was not over yet. The demonic beasts were still alive, and they far outnumbered them.

Mu-Gun checked on his allies fully expecting them to have suffered heavy losses. However, contrary to his expectations, they had fought the demonic beasts to a standstill thanks to a handsome man who freely controlled a hundred giant divinity-imbued Flame Swords.

Mu-Gun immediately knew the man was the Fire God's incarnation.

Having been completely focused on his battle with the Demon God, Mu-Gun had missed when the Fire God's incarnation joined them. It would have been better if he had surfaced and helped earlier, but Mu-Gun was still grateful that he had come to their aid at all. After all, he was the reason they managed to minimize their casualties.

Turning to Mu-Gun, the Fire Gods incarnation grumbled, "Hey! How long are you going to stand around and watch? Im struggling here, you know?!"

Chuckling, Mu-Gun resumed flying toward the fray. "On my way."

His presence on the battlefield broke the stalemate and tipped the tides in their favor. In the face of Mu-Guns attacks, which not even Chaos could withstand, the demonic could do nothing but fall helplessly. Before long, not one of them was left standing.

The disaster brought by the Hell Realm had ended.

The Eternal Heavenly Demon Sect was still around, but now that Chaos was gone, they would never dare show themselves.

* * *

After the battle, Mu-Gun helped clean up and briefly talked to the Fire Gods incarnation. He then prepared to leave for Shaoxing with the Loyal Heart Alliance's martial arts masters.

At that moment, the Thunder God spoke to him.

- Amazing. I cannot believe you stopped the advent of the Demon Gods alone.

"Aren't you being too harsh?"

- What do you mean by that?

"You were nowhere to be found when I needed you. Now that the battle has ended, you suddenly appear.

- What point would there be in me stepping forward when you were already doing a good job on your own? Moreover, the Fire God's incarnation came to help you in this final battle, did he not? That is more than enough help.

The Thunder God sounded proud and as if he had done nothing wrong.

Mu-Gun sighed. "Forget it. What brings you here? You're not going to give me another mission, are you?"

- Fret not. I am not a God without a conscience. I came looking for you to make you an offer.

"An offer?"

- One of the Heavenly Realm's key positions is currently open. I am thinking of recommending you if you are interested.

"Don't I have to possess the qualification of a Heavenly God to enter the Heavenly Realm?"

- I suppose you would not know about it, but your contribution to Chaos downfall is more than enough qualification for you to become a Heavenly God. You can enter the Heavenly Realm whenever you want.

"If I go to the Heavenly Realm, I will no longer be able to stay here, will I?"

- That's correct.

Then I refuse.

- You refuse?

I would rather stay here and live in happiness as a human being.

- Wont you regret it? An opportunity like this is hard to come by.

At least for now, the life of the human Baek Mu-Gun is more important than a position in the Heavenly Realm.

- There is nothing I can do about it, then. Enjoy your mortal life as much as you want. However, the fact that you are my incarnation has not changed. You will still have to faithfully carry out your duties.

Understood. I would appreciate it if you do not look for me for a while, though.

- I will try, but I cannot make you that promise. Well then, goodbye.

The Thunder God cut their telepathic connection before Mu-Gun could reply.

Mu-Gun pondered over the Thunder Gods offer, but he still reached the same conclusion. He did not want to accept it yet. He would rather stay human and live happily with Namgung Hyun-Ah and Dan Seol-Young than become a Heavenly God. He didnt know how noble and honorable the life of a Heavenly God would be, but he doubted it would be better than being with the people he cherished.

Thinking about the offer made him suddenly miss his two wives. Unable to suppress his feelings, he activated the Thunder Gods Shadow at its maximum output and left for Shaoxing, leaving behind the Loyal Heart Alliances martial artists.

Reaching the Baek Sword Sects manor in less than a day, he went straight to the residence of his two wives.

Noticing Mu-Gun, Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young, who were coincidentally together, ran to him with big smiles on their faces.

Dear!

In response, Mu-Gun simply opened his arms wide and embraced his wives tightly. Having spent such a long time longing for him, the two hugged him back.

This is happiness.

Having his wives in his arms was all Mu-Gun needed to know that he would never regret his decision.
