Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3)

Moyongchan continued speaking.

In truth, both of them were partly right.

He burst out laughing.

“Jose, listen carefully. agent That so-called Heavenly Demon is the kind of guy who, in the Murim, is looked down on like an insect. avalanche He hides in a valley called the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, always lying in wait to attack the Murim, but all he’s ever done is get repelled and run away over and over. abandon A pitiful wretch, really. matrix He goes around saying that here in the West no one knows about the East and spouts those lies as if they were the truth… What? accent You can’t even look me in the eyes?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

The Demonic Sect he leads, even as a single unified force, is comparable to the entirety of the Murim, and the Heavenly Demon himself has caused great upheavals generation after generation, remaining engraved as a symbol of fear among warriors.

But, as Moyongchan pointed out, it was also true that most looked at him with contempt.

As Dan Socheon said, in the Murim the Heavenly Demon is an object of fear.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

Though the Demonic Sect caused heavy damage to the Murim, it never achieved its goals; the Heavenly Demon was always defeated by the great masters of the Murim. atlas That is why those who practiced demonic arts were singled out and rejected.

Moyongchan was belittling Dan Socheon more than necessary.

To a taoist master as advanced as Moyongchan, the Heavenly Demon was nothing but something worthy of scorn.

“Tsk, tsk… You wanted to show off even here in the West? palette Pathetic.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

Moyongchan kept egging on Jose, who was acting as the third voice in the conversation.

In the Demonic Sect, the Heavenly Demon is an absolute figure. sphere Treating him like a lying braggart could throw him off balance.

He was doing it to provoke him.

“Isn’t it ridiculous? All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com album In the East he’s a nobody, but here in the West he acts like you can’t even meet his gaze—it’s just pathetic.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

Jose made an out-of-place remark, and Moyongchan shot him a glare.

Jose quickly nodded.

“Lord Moyongchan, your continental tongue has improved quite a bit, huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“Exactly. avalanche Hahaha!”

“That aside, it’s true. crystal I thought he’d be someone important in the East, but no, he’s just a braggart. meadow If not for you, Lord Moyongchan, he’d still be strutting around like he was someone special. academy Hahaha!”

“Nndo met… mejuchuel…? apple Pffft!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

Dan Socheon’s face twisted.

For someone who, as the Heavenly Demon, had always lived receiving reverence, this was a humiliation hard to bear.

Dan Socheon unleashed the Heavenly Demon’s Supreme Technique. arena He no longer thought about controlling the flow of battle—he just wanted to kill them all with his overwhelming demonic power.

“Damn you…!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“Understood.”

“He’s no ordinary opponent. harbor We have to hit his weak points.”

Moyongchan and Jose exchanged a look.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

There was no angle to dodge through.

Moyongchan raised his sword.

They had to face it head-on.

Dan Socheon fired the Ashura Skybreaker’s Heaven-Breaking Strike without pause. abstract Dozens of energy palms filled the front as if forming a wall, advancing toward them.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

From his sword, a whitish mist poured out, enveloping the Heaven-Breaking Strike and slowing the dozens of palms as if they were sinking into water.

Blue Clouds and Scarlet Clouds Sword Technique.

The Heaven-Breaking Strike turned a reddish hue.

The wall of palms was pierced, and the sphere shot toward the Heavenly Demon on the other side.

And in the end, a bead-sized sphere of light shone intensely and was launched.

Then, a sunset-colored light spread.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“You!”

Jose’s massive body turned smoothly on its axis.

“Hey, Heavenly Demon, here in the West we look each other in the eye.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“Haha!”

With the mana focused on a single point, he delivered a blow like a hammer strike.

Using the rotation of his waist, he gathered all the force he could and concentrated it in his sword.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“Damn…!”

Dan Socheon’s sword couldn’t withstand the force and shattered.

Jose’s attack broke through all of Dan Socheon’s defenses and went straight for his chest. arcade If it landed, his body would be destroyed.

Dan Socheon realized his mistake.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

He could not die like this, humiliated, in a faraway West.

“D-damn it!”

The absolute ruler of the Demonic Sect.

He was the Heavenly Demon.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“Do you want power?”

Inside him, he heard a voice.

So he decided to cross the line he had always kept intact.

He had to live to take revenge and, beyond that, to make all the hypocrites of the Eastern Murim kneel before him. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

In the past, Cedric had offered him demonic energy extracted from the Dark One’s Grimoire, but he had refused.

Unlike others who were used as tools, Dan Socheon wanted to rule alongside Cedric, without relying on any black magic other than his own.

Now, seeing Jose’s sword coming closer, he knew.

But Cedric, just in case, had planted in him an evil seed that would never germinate unless Dan Socheon desired it.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

“I want it.”

Thin, sharp tentacles emerged from his back and shoulders. anchor In an instant, the seed matured into a full-grown tree.

“Huh?”

His sword was heading for Dan Socheon’s chest.

In a moment, Jose realized something was wrong.

“Huh?”

He had been pushed back at some point.

“Aaagh!”

The tentacles wrapped around his lower body and twisted.

“Jose!”

Moyongchan rushed to cut the tentacles.

The sharp thorns covering the tentacles’ surface scratched his entire body.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 281: Heaven Above Heaven (3) by Indra Translations.

Dan Socheon, having retrieved the tentacles, was releasing abundant demonic energy.

Moyongchan looked up.

“You’ve fallen so far. voyage How disgusting…”

Moyongchan said. artist Now he openly despised him.

“Don’t worry. admire After I kill you, I’ll go slaughter all those old men of the Murim Alliance. atomic I’ll make Jang Yeonghak cry and kiss my feet.”

“Shut up, scum. anxiety You’re nothing but a leftover from the Blue School.”

Dan Socheon smiled maliciously as he advanced.

“Now, you…”

“You dream too big.”

“Khhhaaaah…!”

“Since I left while fighting you, you should have thought I could come back suddenly. absorb Why are you so happy? antenna Were you glad I wasn’t here?”

Dan Socheon felt a chill run down his spine. admire The voice of Yuri Briol came from behind him.

“…”
