The mountain was engulfed with all kinds of attacks from warriors and masters present.
Space bent and got restored at the same time, but no attack could pierce through the barrier engulfing Jun Pae Hyuk.
Looking at this pitiful site of everyone. Their sincere efforts to attack him with such fervor!
He also encouraged them – "Hey! Haven't you eaten anything today"," What, that's all you can do?", "A child will hit much better than you".
Listening to him saying things like this. Everyone couldn't help but curse him more and started increasing their attacks with much more passion as he requested.
"JUN.PAE.HYEOK., Couldn't you just die normally like an insect you are. You are struggling till the very end. You still think you can escape. I have divined everything, YOU HAVE ALREADY FAILED. YOU WIL BE REMOVED FROM THIS WORLD TODAY!" – thundered Divination Ascended master Zhan Ming Xuan, leader of Divination Heaven Sect.
"Just keep attacking…, The barrier will surely wear out" – ordered Soul Ascended Ling Che Hao while panicking.
"You lot have tried everything. Yes, I failed, miserably at that. I couldn't ascend as the darkness in the end." said Jun Pae Hyuk.
Feeling his erasing presence. Ascended Formation master stopped everyone. Everybody stopped attacking and looked vigilantly towards him.
Seeing this he chuckled and said – "Do not worry, I will surely not survive this". Listening to this everybody present couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"But…" everybody suddenly tensed and keeping their weapons ready and to strike "…I never said I will let you go unscratched" He finally said with difficulty and exploded.
The explosion was powerful! it was like the explosion of a small star. If it was not for world will keeping it at bay half the world would have been obliterated.
Everyone closest to him got charred and erased from existence immediately.
Those at the end they came out with some gruesome wounds that will never heal or will become hindrance to their paths.
Even Ascended masters didn't come out without losing some of their skin. They bore the most significant brunt's because of world backlash too.
Transferring most of the damage to them for interfering in the another ascenders path, They have to bear this great Karma.
Their path forward might not even advance further without paying an equally great price.
"We finally killed this bas**rd, Huff!..Huff!..., Even as a failed ascended his dying explosion surely was something" Tang Ziqin said with blood coming out from her mouth.
"What do you expect from someone who was so close to overturning this world order that we have to name him Outer Demon" said Guan Yi looking at Tang Ziqin while clutching his shoulder tightly.
"Are we sure he is truly dead?, Divination master" inquired Ma Ruo Long from Zhan Ming Xuan while healing his injuries.
"He is not alive that's for sure. He can't reincarnate as he has failed his ascension. While I did divine for his return it was fully blank to me" replied Divination Master with divination signs showing in his eyes.
Listening to this everybody faces couldn't help but get more ugly. They wanted to make sure he is dead with no possibility of his return.
"All right! We should all discuss this when we all are healed and think what should we do with the mess he has left behind" suggested The Great Tathāgata Buddha.
With everybody nodding their heads and leaving the place in a hurry to heal themselves fully.
They didn't check for an object emitting an eerie blank mist on the ground where the explosion took place. A missight they will surely come to regret in future.
This object will become the reason for someone else rise and their greatest misfortune that even Divination master will never be able to divine.
------------------------------------------------------------
A soul floating in the void of space, wandering the starry sky with the great nebulas, suns and planets in the view.
A long time seemed to has passed for it, or not? It was not sure of it.
It is searching for the vessel where it could house itself as it's protective light is getting withered by time.
Suddenly, before it could advance further it was sucked into a wormhole and landed in a world that it couldn't make sense of.
Noticing this, the world it landed into was rejecting it quite strongly, it didn't understand what was happening.
At this moment many powerful gazes locked on to it and as they looked, the light on it shone brightly for a moment and as if the gazes were never present. They all withdrew one by one.
It knew nothing of it. Based on its instincts it advances further and started looking for a vessel that could house it and will help it in blend with the world. So, it will stop rejecting it.
As if destiny itself was guiding it. It floated towards an infant and settled inside him.
The infant suddenly started crying which startled his mother. She came and started coaxing him to sleep "Shhhh!... It's alright, Mama is here my sweet baby. Do not cry"
As if sensing the presence of the his mother and listening to her soothing voice. The infant stopped crying.
She placed infant back is his crib, where he settled peacefully and went to sleep.
The infant soul was then mixed with this new soul and both merged. He became the infant and infant became him.
World will also stopped rejecting him, then the soul got dormant in the infant's body.
Time seemed to pass, and this infant started growing too without remembering anything at all.
Suddenly one day, Jun Pae Hyeok opened his eyes to a voice that he wasn't familiar with.
"Seth Dimitri, how many times do I need to tell you? I, Luna Mayer don't like you. Do not pester me anymore and like I said previously I will never love you."
Jun Pae Hyeok couldn't make sense of it. He was fighting some crazy strong people just a moment ago and now suddenly he is in front a woman who is asking him not to pester her.
He let her talk as he thought " Where am I? I survived. Did that mantra really work?"
Seeing his dazed look the woman opposite to him got more angry and started shouting and cursing him more.
"YOOU! Where the hell is your attention? I am here talking to you and you are just ignoring me" seethed Luna quite angrily.
Hyuk was truly confused, but he has also come across many similar situations that were just as difficult than this.
He quickly sorted his bearings and told her " I am sorry! I am not feeling well. Can we talk later?"
Listening this Luna felt like she couldn't take it and said to him coldly while sneering "trying to run again. Huh! You think you can stop the inevitable?"
There was silence between them, just a spark, it was sure Luna will surely not be able to hold herself back from slapping him across his face.
Jun didn't think much of it. He stood up and started walking out of the restaurant they were in.
He didn't have time for it. He needed to understand the situation he was in. Any trouble he will deal with it later.
