Shadowless laughed coldly as Kang-jun drew his sword.
"A foolish choice. Everything you have came from me. Do you think you can beat me?”
Kang-jun simply gazed at him quietly.
"I don’t know who you are, but you are deceiving me. You aren’t Shadowless. At the very least, Shadowless would not say that to me.”
Kang-jun had learnt, from Heaven’s Blood Sword Style, not to be afraid of death.
It wasn’t about bravado or being daring but cutting off the fear from his heart! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become stronger after overcoming many crises.
It had been possible for Kang-jun to exceed his limits by not giving into fear in extreme situations and cutting down the situation with his sword.
Thus, he wouldn’t give into fear now.
Shadowless’ Heaven’s Blood Sword Style had this spirit!
Therefore, Kang-jun was convinced that the person in front of him wasn’t Shadowless.
Even if Shadowless had become Karosio’s crony, he would try to persuade Kang-jun otherwise.
Why should he follow the G.o.ddess of Destruction? Why destroy the dimensional system and create a new one?
Of course, giving nonsense reasons was even more ridiculous.
Words about surrendering would absolutely never come out from Shadowless’ mouth.
Maybe for others but that was not the case for the creator of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.
“Who are you? Reveal your true ident.i.ty.”
A strong but transparent light flashed in Kang-jun’s eyes.
At that moment, Shadowless’ body flinched and trembled.
His expression distorted.
“Kukukuk! Huhuhu!”
The voice of a man and the laugh of a woman were mixed together at the same time.
Chu chu chu chu.
At that moment, Shadowless’ face distorted and turned into a woman’s face.
His body also turned into a woman’s.
If the body was exactly divided in half, then the left side was female while the right side was unmistakably a man.
However, the woman who appeared on the left side was more beautiful than anyone Kang-jun had ever seen.
She was an extreme beauty!
Kang-jun knew that one half was a man, but as soon as he saw the woman’s eyes, he had a horrifying urge to immediately approach and kiss them.
However, Kang-jun controlled his heart and stared at her.
"Who are you? Are you the G.o.ddess of Destruction?”
Kang-jun asked and Shadowless laughed again.
"You are more reasonable than I thought, but you will eventually give in to me. Even if you transcended the limit, do you think a human can resist a G.o.d?”
"Shut up!"
Kang-jun no longer wanted to speak and swung his sword.
Flash!
It was a conventionally swung Heavenly Cut! However, it contained everything that Kang-jun had.
It was the energy of Heavenly Cut that cut off any fear!
There was also the energy of chaos in it.
Flash! Flash flash!
That’s right. It wasn’t just one. Thousands of Heavenly Cuts emerged at the same time. There were also other changes.
This was created by Kang-jun.
There was no need for a name as it spread in a different way every time.
If he had to name it, it would be called Heavenly Blood Thousand Flow!
One ray of light turned into countless rays and rushed to Shadowless.
Pa pa pa pa!
Shadowless’ complexion suddenly changed. He blocked it swiftly with his sword.
Kw.a.n.g! Kwaang! Kuaaaang!
There was a clash between two swords! It was a clash of chaos and chaos!
However, Kang-jun stayed still while Shadowless was pushed back. His whole body was a wreck.
Kang-jun sneered.
It was as he had expected. This person wasn’t the real Shadowless.
Their chaos power was in an incoherent state and couldn’t prevent Kang-jun’s attacks that contained true chaos power.
Duk! Duduk!
Within a short time, Shadowless’ body had been sliced into countless pieces.
Kang-jun’s attacks swept over his entire body.
However, the separated body parts soon returned to their original condition.
At the same time, Shadowless’ eyes turned black.
The man and the woman, their two different eyes turned black at the same time and it was truly creepy.
“It is useless. You won’t be able to win against me. Now, I will make you feel how helpless you are.”
At the end of those words, the woman’s face disappeared from Shadowless. However, his two eyes still remained black.
Shadowless looked like a mannequin to Kang-jun. He opened his mouth mechanically and said,
"You still don"t know what the true power of chaos is. This is the power of chaos.”
A gigantic glow started to floor toward Kang-jun.
Flash---!
It was a brilliant storm of light.
A storm of light flooded the dark s.p.a.ce like the sun!
Kang-jun felt like his body would melt if he was. .h.i.t by that storm.
What the h.e.l.l was it?
A form of attack that he had never seen before!
Was it like the flow of energy when the Big Bang exploded to form the universe?
His struggle during the process of becoming a chaos being was nothing compared to this.
If Kang-jun could use it, he would have once again exceeded his limits...
Going beyond the limit of the wall that blocked him!
‘How great.’
At that moment, Kang-jun forgot the situation he was in.
He had been waiting eagerly for this moment.
‘That is possible...’
Kang-jun’s eyes shone as he gazed at the mysterious flow of light.
It seemed as though time stopped, causing the movement of the brilliant light to halt. Then time started flowing slightly as the brilliance moved slowly...
And Kang-jun focused on this flow.
If he could find out what it was, then he didn’t care if he died.
Was it this desire that slowed time? It was momentary, but it felt like a long time had pa.s.sed in his head.
In the meantime, the flow that he could see had pa.s.sed.
As he recreated it in his head, Kang-jun observed the storm of brilliance like he was a separate third person.
He didn’t know how it was possible.
The harmony caused by his will that went beyond death.
A faint smile formed on Kang-jun’s face as the brilliant light headed toward him no longer felt threatening.
Flash---!
The storm pa.s.sed through Kang-jun.
However, Kang-jun didn’t receive any damage like he was just a shadow was standing there.
Shadowless’ face was shocked.
In the meantime, the woman had appeared on half of him again.
She had the same look on her face as she stared at Kang-jun.
The woman’s face distorted with shock, anger and astonishment while the man’s changed to one of deep sadness and agony.
It was temporary, but Kang-jun didn’t miss it.
"There is something.’
Kang-jun realized that there were two egos within Shadowless. One was his original self while the other was the woman.
“Huhuhut! Nice. You become more desirable the more I see you, but it can’t be helped if you won’t become mine. Now, I’m going to destroy everything of yours. You will regret how silly you were to think you could go against me.”
The woman said with an eerie eye from the left side of Shadowless.
"Before that, you should die!”
Kang-jun brandished his sword.
Flash---!
At that moment, the flash from his sword melted half of Shadowless.
Exactly half!
The remaining half was still alive.
However, he started to disperse slowly after a short period of time.
At that moment...
The male half bowed toward Kang-jun and declared,
"Thank you. It has been a while, but I regained my spirit.”
His voice was weak, but dignified. Kang-jun sensed that this was the real Shadowless.
However, he didn’t ask anything.
Shadowless couldn’t say much. He was on the verge of disappearing, so he had to say as much as possible.
“...You are not what I chose. The words from the G.o.ddess of Ruin about conveying you the power of Hwanmong aren"t true. I did invent Heaven’s Blood Sword Style but...”
Indeed. Shadowless’ words had been a trick designed to make Kang-jun give up.
"From now on, you will be fighting with demonic G.o.ds. However, if you are as strong as you are now, you won’t be defeated so easily. Just watch out for Karosio, the G.o.ddess of Destruction, especially her seduction. I fell for her seduction and lost everything. No matter how strong you become, don’t forget that you can lose everything in a moment if you aren’t alert.”
Shadowless gazed at Kang-jun with warm eyes.
“Finally, thank you for freeing me. With my death, the Heaven’s Blood Sword will be yours...”
After those words, he literally scattered into dust.

"Enlightenment seems to break the level limit.’
As soon as he understood Shadowless’ sword and broke it, Kang-jun’s level limit that had been at ‘MAX’ was also increased.
At the same time, his level rose.
Although he was in a dissonant state after being tempted by the G.o.ddess of Destruction, Shadowless was still a chaos being.
Moreover, he was a person who had been one step higher than Kang-jun.
Kang-jun didn’t know how, but Shadowless had temporarily showed his original ability.
It was supposed to be a crisis situation for Kang-jun, but he used it to break through his limits.
He gained a huge 10 levels.
Levels below Lv300 didn’t significantly affect his combat strength. It was because most of Kang-jun’s power was from transcendence or chaos.
However, he could now feel the difference as his level rose.
It wasn’t due to his stats or health but rather, his combat capabilities rose significantly with every level. Therefore, it was clear from now on that he would be able to feel every increase in level.
However, Kang-jun was feeling somewhat bittersweet. This was because he gained the experience from killing his teacher.
‘It was due to the temptation of the G.o.ddess. "
Shadowless had been overcome by the temptation of the G.o.ddess, not by this battle.
The charm of the G.o.ddess of Destruction was so enormous that she distracted the will of chaos.
There was no guarantee that Kang-jun wouldn’t fall for it as well.
It was because he almost lost his reason after seeing just half of her appearance.
What if he saw all of her?
Would he be able to survive the temptation?
‘I have to be careful.”
Shadowless’ words to be vigilant echoed in his ears.
