The broken sword.

In its place, he grasped the heavens and forged them into a blade.

Namgung Jincheon's sword was aimed at Je Cheon-hyeok.

Je Cheon-hyeok regarded him. He was teetering on the edge of collapse.

Behind him lay the unconscious Namgung Yeon. The surroundings were in utter disarray, save for the untouched space around her, a stark contrast that felt unsettling.

"Is protecting just one blood relative so important to you?"

"They are my family. Of course, it is important."

"I don’t understand. You don’t seem like the type to be bound by something as trivial as blood relations."

"I am not that kind of man. I am merely a fool who still cannot let go of his sword… a cowardly mortal."

Namgung Jincheon swung his blade. Despite standing on the brink of death, his swordsmanship was sharp enough to send chills down the spine.

Whoosh!

Je Cheon-hyeok leaned back to dodge and thrust his front foot forward, his fist igniting in white flames.@@novelbin@@

Je Cheon-hyeok's domain was not one of overwhelming power or extraordinary ability. It merely allowed him to observe his opponent in greater detail.

The so-called annihilation of existence attributed to him was merely the manifestation of the strength imbued in his fists.

Within his domain, Je Cheon-hyeok observed Namgung Jincheon. His life force was fading fast, and his movements lacked their former vigor.

"And yet… what is this feeling?"

A strange sense of danger washed over him, and Je Cheon-hyeok instinctively retreated.

Slash—!

The space before him tore open, revealing a gaping black void. Sensing the peril, Je Cheon-hyeok leaped back, striking the air with his fist.
