Chapter 436
Chapter 436
The absolute masters of the orthodox martial world turned their gazes to the figure standing behind the spectator stands.
A silhouette so vast it seemed to eclipse the entire sun loomed over them.
He did nothing—no gestures, no movement—yet his sheer presence radiated a tyrannical magnificence.
“……”
The scorching summer sunlight wavered violently around him, as if bent by his very existence.
It was as if space itself had been distorted.
A force field of sheer power enveloped his entire body, an aura so dense that it contained its own presence within it.
Ordinary perception techniques could not penetrate this field.
Even recognizing him, let alone gazing directly at him, was a struggle.
Among the crowd, only the Grandmasters of the Nine Sects and the Grand Swordmaster were exceptions.
Thus, the audience was still frantically searching for any sign of Jeong Yeon-shin and the Sword Queen, who had vanished after their duel had shattered the battlefield.
Only a rare few were watching the movements of the highest-ranking martial artists instead.
“…How could such a being achieve Reversion to Purity…?”
The Celestial Twin-Wall Swordmaster, Cheongsu Jin-in, leader of Cheongseong Sect, murmured in disbelief.
His long ears twitched slightly.
His cold, indifferent expression—unshaken even after witnessing Jeong Yeon-shin’s sword technique—finally cracked.
Reversion to Purity was the state in which an individual reached the absolute peak of martial arts, returning to a form that seemed utterly ordinary.
—They say it has already been twenty-eight days.
But this man was different.
He radiated an aura of absolute dominance, not tranquility.
It was as if he refused to allow those beneath his level to even perceive him properly.
A bizarre, warped application of Reversion to Purity—something beyond mere transcendence.
—Some of you are old and deaf, so I will repeat myself. My grandson has wasted enough of his precious time because of your meaningless agreements. You will end this with the Sword Queen.
His voice shattered the air like successive thunderclaps.
Regardless of his status, there was no greater display of arrogance than this.
Cheongsu Jin-in furrowed his brows and slowly spoke.
Even if this man was an unfathomable master, the Grandmaster of one of the Nine Orthodox Sects would not be silenced so easily.
First, he sought to understand the situation.
“I have never heard of someone like you in the martial world. Perhaps my knowledge is lacking. Please, state your sect and name.”
—Who is that man?
A solemn response.
Not the answer he had expected.
He had addressed the unknown figure, yet the man had directed the question to the other Grandmasters instead.
Only then did Cheongsu Jin-in feel the strangeness of the situation.
He instinctively turned his head.
The youngest among them, Lady Yulha Nangnang, merely raised a brow slightly—an indication that she, too, had no idea who he was.
But the Abbess of Emei, Baek Yaksa-tae, was different.
A woman renowned as the greatest nun in Sichuan, her aged eyes trembled—a reaction that was almost unheard of.
