The Heavenly Killing Star (천살성 — 天殺星). In the world, it's treated as a kind of divine illness (신병 — 神病). However, the truth is, as known, it's not a matter of mental or physical illness. When revealed, it unleashes the worst calamitous power, inevitably causing storms and disturbances – A Monstrous Deity. That is the true nature of the Heavenly Killing Star.
Of course, there were countless beings like that who didn't necessarily bring calamity, but the Heavenly Killing Star was a bit different. Firstly, it's a formless spirit (혼백 — 魂魄), capable of possessing bodies. When it loses its form and receives damage to its spirit, it returns to its spirit form to recuperate and then possesses another body again. In simple terms, it was an Immortal Being without a body, in a different sense from Song Yoon-Cheon. And the most important fact is that the Heavenly Executioner continuously grows stronger. [2]
Song Yoon-Cheon[]
The connection between Song Yoon-Cheon and the Heavenly Killing Star was an enduring, very long-standing fate. Of course, it's somewhat one-sided against the Heavenly Killing Star. When the Heavenly Killing Star loses its form and returns to the formless spirit, all previous memories are forgotten. Only the primal desire to become stronger and kill remains, recovering the shattered formless spirit and regaining its form. Song Yooncheon has killed and slaughtered the Heavenly Killing Star, who cannot remember him, countless times. It's impossible to count just how many times he killed it.
Sometimes, it took the form of a huge snake that could be mistaken for a dragon, a long-lived horsefly with only a human torso, crows, tigers, leopards, and other beasts. Among them, the form of the Heavenly Killing Star that Song Yooncheon encountered the most was human, and moreover, weak ones. Last one was about a thousand years ago from now. During the era when Song Yoon-Cheon was known as the Mad Demon (광마 — 狂魔) and had a notorious reputation throughout the world. If it hadn't been for Song Yooncheon, the Heavenly Killing Star would have become the Ruler of The World, if not the Greatest in The World.
Two Strongest Reincarnations[]
Song Yoon-Cheon had indeed encountered and even killed many Heavenly Killing Stars. Among the various forms of Heavenly Killing Stars he had encountered, there were precisely two that Song Yooncheon found most terrifying. Except for those two times, to be honest, they weren't that difficult or troublesome. Those two instances were undeniably different.
First[]
Recalling them chronologically, the first was a Heavenly Killing Star that had reincarnated as a bear, ruling over the Heavenly Mountains, at a time when the Heavenly Mountains didn't get a name yet. The climate was much colder back then, and with no human presence, various creatures and spirits freely roamed the land. The Heavenly Killing Star devoured everything around him, growing stronger to the point where the term “spirit” was insufficient to describe its power.
With long, sharp teeth and claws, immense strength, and speed, it even had thick skin that could withstand any of Song Yooncheon's attacks. When that Heavenly Killing Star appeared in the Central Plains, tens of thousands of lives were lost to it, like an unstoppable natural disaster. If Song Yooncheon hadn't been immortal back then, the world might have been destroyed, utilizing his immortality to endure being chewed up from head to toe, before resurrecting with pain and turmoil to finally kill the creature after days of internal struggle.
Second[3][]
But even this couldn't compare to the second time. In an era filled with superstitions, the creature, previously a human, became a fanatic worshiper of a Monstrous Deity, or rather, a Vampire (흡혈괴마). Somehow, he killed the vampire they worshiped and declared himself a god and leader. The infamous name attached to him was "Blood Demon". Following that was the Blood Cult and Stellar Absorption Grand Law.
The Stellar Absorption Grand Law practiced by the Heavenly Killing Star when it was a Blood Demon were on a completely different level compared to the half-baked versions known in the world today. It continuously grows stronger in proportion to existing forces. He can't leave such sorcery behind in the world. The reason Song Yooncheon was extremely wary of the Heavenly Killing Star remembering its past life was precisely due to the nature of the Stellar Absorption Grand Law that the Blood Demon had instilled.
Sealed[]
Song Yooncheon cautiously placed his hand on the golden crown, closing his eyes firmly. This moment could be considered the conclusion of the entire narrative, the culmination of all that had transpired. Before delving into the task at hand, Song Yooncheon calmed his mind and verified his own power. He began to release it, wary that the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation might not withstand its magnitude. Flowing from the palm of Song Yooncheon, renowned throughout the realm for its long history, power began to emanate.
Within the tightly sealed space, the once dull golden crown began to gleam and vibrate, almost blindingly bright. This reaction was because the crown was the heart of the formation. In no time, the power equivalent to that of a single realm flowed into the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation. Then two realms, three realms, four realms, five realms, six realms... Utilizing his heightened senses, Song Yooncheon pushed the limits of the formation, excluding only what was necessary for sealing the Heavenly Killing Star.
- Target: Seal the Heavenly Killing Star and create an escape route by breaking through the collapsed passage."
Relentlessly, he poured in his power, surpassing twenty realms in the blink of an eye. Feeling the proper functioning of the formation, Song Yooncheon paused to catch his breath. His entire body was drenched in sweat, a testament to his intense focus.
- "I'm fine, but..."
The issue lay with the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation. Although a somewhat crude calculation, it would take approximately fifteen hundred years for the formation to be set up, and Song Yooncheon had paused it momentarily. Thus, theoretically, he believed it could handle that amount of power.
- "Now, I must be more careful."
The greed of Qin Shi Emperor was unparalleled in his era; he dreamed of eternal life as an emperor. Trusting in that greed, Song Yooncheon calmly continued to channel power into the formation. Then, at some point, Song Yooncheon sensed that the core of the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation could no longer accept more power and began to divert it elsewhere.
- "That's enough."
With that, the Heavenly Killing Star, who had appeared suddenly with the dawn of the world and had brought about the end of the world hundreds of times over thousands of years, was sealed. Finally, Song Yooncheon could remove his hand from the golden crown.
- "How does it feel? Like floating in the Nine Springs (구천 — 九泉)?"
Song Yooncheon threw out the question, knowing he wouldn't receive an answer. Where the body of Qin Shi Emperor once lay, now lay the twisted form of the Heavenly Killing Star, in his Supreme Ultimate, Cheong Woon's incarnation. Though his eyes, which struggled until the end as if trying to encompass the entire world, remained wide open, they lacked focus. Sealed within the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation, separated from his physical form, the Heavenly Killing Star showed no reaction.
- "I might as well finish what I started."
Song Yooncheon proceeded to add another formation atop the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation. The name of the formation he installed was the Sealing Formation (봉쇄진 — 封鎖陣). True to its simple and clear name, the installation of the formation was straightforward, and its effects were just as simple: blocking external impacts according to the strength of the formation. During the brief respite, Song Yooncheon swiftly infused the newly established Sealing Formation with the power he had rapidly regained.
- "It's done."
Unlike the Infinite Eight Trigrams Formation, there was no need to be cautious this time, allowing him to complete the formation swiftly.
- "As long as Jeagal Gong-Myeong (Zhuge Liang or Zhuge Kongming) doesn't return alive, no one will be able to break it."
