Chapter 215 Celestial Demon (1)
The Heavenly Demon.
Depending on the era, it was also called Mara, and it was revered by the religious group known as the Heavenly Demon Cult.
Evaluations varied across eras, but one thing remained constant.
The greatest demon of all time.
That no one could surpass the Heavenly Demon.
By the time of the Great Ming, the very name Heavenly Demon had become taboo. Some even claimed the reason the Bae Hwa Sect was called the Demon Sect was because they changed their symbol from the Sacred Flower to the Heavenly Demon.
Was that very Heavenly Demon now residing in that mortal body?
Gu Yangji stared at the man, his face tense with anticipation.
‘The Eight Palms’ physical form… Could it be Namgung Cheon?’
Or perhaps it was another Eight Palms he hadn’t yet identified.
Gu Yangji’s face stiffened.
The other infiltration team seemed to share his reaction. Master Shim Won-jin shouted loudly, as if he couldn’t possibly believe it.
“Nonsense! The Heavenly Demon is merely an ancient legend. There’s no way it could be real!”
Just then, the man who had been silent spoke up.
“Is that so?”
“……?!”
“Seems it’s dismissed as a ghost from the past in this era.”
How ironic.
The man—no, the Heavenly Demon—gazed at the six warriors before him with a sneer.
Two young Taoist priests, one monk, one typical middle-aged man, one old man, and one fool burning with ambition.
Compared to the distant past, it was a pitifully small number.
