Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 167:
Chapter 167: Top Demonic God vs Hwanmong Ruler (2)
Now that he had stepped onto the threshold, he only needed to take a single step, but something was making him hesitate .
It was caused partially by the mental fatigue accumulated through too many level ups, but there was also another reason .
A vague fear of being reborn as a new existence .
He had already become transcendent, chaos and then destruction but strangely, it wasn’t easy for him to take this final step before becoming a Hwanmong Ruler .
Maybe he might become a completely different type of existence from now .
It seemed unlikely but that hesitation was surprisingly powerful .
If Cardia hadn’t left Kang-jun in a petrified state, it might have taken him quite a while to decide to take this step .
In particular, the atrocity of turning Kang-jun’s head into a pendant had backfired .
It badly damaged Kang-jun’s pride . No matter how tired he was, he would still burst out in a tantrum .
In other words, Cardia pricked his pride and gave him a chance to become an absolute being in the dimensional system .
In the end, not half, but the whole prophecy came true .
[You have realized the essence of Hwanmong . ]
[You have understood and can deal with Hwanmong energy . ]
[Your war rating has risen to Hwanmong . ]
[Charisma has permanently increased by 50 . ]
[Good Luck has permanently increased by 10 . ]
Lv . 500 (MAX)
[War] Hwanmong
Health: 205070/205070
Hwanmong Energy: 201290/201290
Destruction power was transmuted into Hwanmong energy .
His war rating increased to Hwanmong and his charisma rose by 50 points! Furthermore, good luck also rose by 10 points .
However, his level remained unchanged .
Then a message immediately appeared .
[Enlightenment as a Hwanmong Ruler has given you a lot of experience, increasing your level greatly . ]
It wasn’t a surprise to see his level rise .
Lv501, Lv502, Lv503 . . .
His level rose indefinitely .
More messages kept popping up .
[You have reached an ultimate world beyond levels . ]
[Your abilities will no longer be restricted by levels . ]
[Your abilities will no longer be restricted by tools or equipment . ]
Kang-jun’s status window changed after those messages appeared .
Lucan
[War] Hwanmong
Health: 500000/500000
Hwanmong Energy: 500000/500000
Good Luck: 31
Charisma: 115
His status window was very short . His level was no longer visible .
His health and Hwanmong energy reached 500,000 while his stats such as strength, intelligence, etc . , had disappeared .
They no longer had an effect on his combat power . Therefore, there was no need for those stats to be displayed .
Only the unique stats of charisma and good luck remained .
‘Good luck and charisma are important to a Hwanmong Ruler . ’
The one sad thing was that his stat bonuses from the Dimensional Sovereign Ring no longer applied .
In addition, any great equipment that he found wouldn’t have an effect .
If the water in the cup was full, that quantity of water wouldn’t increase no matter how much more water was poured in .
Of course, Kang-jun hadn’t reached the peak of everything .
Once he became a Hwanmong Ruler, he was able to see that the world of Hwanmong was never ending .
In other words, there were still ways for him to become stronger in the future .
In that case, it was like he could only expand the size of the vessel that contained the water, it couldn’t be increased anymore through equipment .
It was only possible with enlightenment .
It was clear that going one step further than a Hwanmong Ruler would be extremely difficult .
Anyways, once he became a Hwanmong Ruler, Kang-jun could tell that the dimensional system was bigger than he originally thought .
Infinite!
There was no way to express it other than that .
'Will there be an existence stronger than me?’
But within the area that Kang-jun could detect, no one had reached such a level .
After becoming a Hwanmong Ruler, the level of dimensions that he could perceive had broadened . Within that radius, there was only one who had reached a similar level to him .
It was the top demonic god, Cardia, who was standing right in front of him .
Surprisingly, she was almost as strong as the current Kang-jun .
They hadn’t fought yet but Kang-jun felt like he was superior to her .
'The prophecy that Cardia told him about is correct . Today is that day . ’
On the other hand, Cardia stared at the stretching Kang-jun with a strange expression .
“How surprising . It isn’t so easy to unravel that curse . Is this the power of Hwanmong that the prophecy spoke about?”
"That's right . "
Kang-jun laughed . However, his expression turned cold after he laughed .
“Great demonic **** Cardia! No, top demonic **** should suffice . Now that I’ve become a Hwanmong Ruler, you will never be able to get out of here . How about you become my servant?”
Cardia laughed like it was ridiculous .
"Do you think I would just freely let you do as you want? I don’t believe that the power of Hwanmong is that great . ”
"If you don’t believe me then I will make you believe . ”
Kang-jun moved his hand and the snow on the ground gathered together to form a sword .
"A sword? How interesting . ”
Cardia’s eyes fell on the weapon hanging on her waist .
It was also a sword . A white sword .
As she grabbed the sword with one hand, Kang-jun felt an overwhelming momentum pouring out from her .
It was only natural .
Cardia had been a demonic **** who was crazy about swordsmanship .
While other demonic gods poured themselves into their household members, she held a sword and devoted herself to swordsmanship .
Once she raised her sword, other demonic gods would back away .
After the enlightenment of her swordsmanship combined with the divine power of a demonic god, she overcame her limitations in the Abyss and reached the level of a top demonic **** .
Thus, it wasn’t ludicrous for Cardia to point her sword at Kang-jun .
"Feel free to use whatever swordsmanship technique you want . ”
"If you wish . ”
As soon as Kang-jun pulled out his sword and took the posture of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style, Cardia’s expression changed .
“What? That is the Heaven’s Blood Sword Style . ”
"I’m surprised that you know this . ”
"I made it when I was a great demonic **** . ”
"Stop talking nonsense . This is a style that Shadowless created . ”
Heaven’s Blood Sword Style had helped him overcome transcendence to become a chaos being .
If he hadn’t received this sword technique then it would have been hard to reach here so quickly .
It was the greatest strength behind making Kang-jun who he was today .
That was the Heaven’s Blood Sword Style .
Yet Cardia said that she made it in the Abyss .
Cardia just laughed .
"Then don't believe me . I just made it and sprinkled it into the consciousness of people . If someone stumbled upon it then they would think they were the creator . ”
"You sprinkled it into the consciousness?”
"It isn’t difficult . You should be able to do that now . ”
Apparently, that was the case . Kang-jun gritted his teeth .
‘Damn! It was true . ’
In the end, Shadowless was still Kang-jun’s mentor in the Heaven’s Blood Sword Style .
Yet it was something created by Cardia that she had sprinkled into Shadowless’ subconscious .
In other words, Cardia had transmitted it to Shadowless beyond time and space .
Of course, Shadowless didn’t know that .
Cardia laughed and laughed .
“Not only that . Perhaps the most useful thing I created in recent years was how to reach the realm of chaos . Even the celestial gods are practicing some of the sword techniques that I made . ”
"It is an honour . ”
It was an honour to meet the genius in swordsmanship who created so many of the sword techniques .
But a duel between warriors wasn’t just determined by the skill in swordsmanship .
A showdown between a top demonic **** and a Hwanmong Ruler .
Kang-jun acknowledged that Cardia was a great genius with the sword but he still thought he would win this fight .
"Taste the feeling of being hit by the sword you created .
Kang-jun swung his sword .
Flash!
Heavenly Cut . However, it wasn’t the same as before as it turned into an absolute force that destroyed everything in front of it .
Pa pa pa pa!
The energy of Hwanmong formed the shape of a sword and the destruction power in the Abyss was scattered .
Of course, the space in front of Cardia also evaporated .
However, her body moved in a direction that Kang-jun hadn’t expected . She avoided it and then she swung her sword in retaliation .
‘How great . When did she move there?’
Kang-jun quickly moved his sword to block her attack .
Kakakaang!
At that moment, Cardia was pushed back . Blood was pouring from her mouth .
“What? That energy? Is it Hwanmong energy?”
“Yes . ”
“Euh! What a scam . ”
Cardia frowned .
She didn’t feel anything when she avoided Kang-jun’s attack . The power was beyond imagination but avoiding that attack wasn’t difficult for her .
However, a mysterious reaction occurred the moment her sword met Kang-jun’s .
Unbelievably, she received reflected damage .
It was a blow to her power that had reached the level of a top demonic **** .
Not only had Kang-jun casually accepted the attack, he returned the damage!
It was like she inserted a sword into her body herself .
“Ulkeok!”
Cardia staggered as blood emerged from her mouth .
However, she instantly recovered . From then on, she tried to avoid meeting Kang-jun’s sword as much as possible while they fought .
Hwiiik! Papapapak - Flash!
Kang-jun was alert and also evaded her attacks .
‘It is really great . ’
Cardia wasn’t someone he could win against just by becoming a Hwanmong Ruler .
Chwack! Chwaack! Puhak!
In the end, her sword struck Kang-jun numerous times and gave him some injuries .
But the injuries did little damage .
She stabbed her sword into his heart with all her energy, but Kang-jun’s skin was only slightly scratched and recovered quickly .
"No way! Something like this!”
"It doesn’t make sense . That is why it is called Hwanmong power . You can’t beat me, Cardia . "
The power of Hwanmong coursing through Kang-jun’s body meant he wouldn’t get any serious injuries .
The slightest scratches or bruises caused by Cardia quickly disappeared .
As time passed, Cardia started to get cornered .
Her swordsmanship was better than Kang-jun but that wasn’t enough against the fraudulent power of Hwanmong .
No matter what Cardia did, Kang-jun didn’t budge .
Every time her sword clashed with Kang-jun’s, she was shocked and pushed back .
In the end, the damage accumulated and Kang-jun aimed a final blow at her after she slowed down .
“Now let’s end this, Cardia . ”
Chwaack!
“Ugh!”
Blood spurted from Cardia’s chest . As she staggered, Kang-jun’s sword passed across her neck .
Seokeok!
“Euh! This . . . ”
Cardia’s body trembled with disbelief .
She tried to gather destruction power around her neck but the power of Hwanmong scattered it .
“H-how vexing . . . ”
After saying that, Cardia’s head flew off .
The two of the had been fighting on the snowy field, so her head was separated from her body and hit the snowy ground .
‘Finally finished . ’
Kang-jun looked down at her .
