Love Unbreakable

Chapter 1971

The East Continent was rather desolate compared to the West Continent, where the main force of theOvergeared Guild was active. The beautiful, unique culture of the East was a barrier that preventedpeople from entering. This was understandable, considering that only a quarter of the 2.5 billion playerswere Asian.

However, the population of the East continent seemed small only when compared to the West. Therewere actually many people active in the East, and many of them were famous around the world.

“...This is some bullshit.” Hwang Gildong sighed. “I think we’re ruined.”

According to the Chivalrous Robbers, a total of sixty-two Full Moon Fortresses had appeared in theEast Continent. However, people couldn’t do anything about any of them.

A few days ago, news arrived that hundreds or thousands of adventurers advanced like they were anarmy to deal with the fortresses, but they didn’t stand a chance.

Old Sword Demon frowned. He looked very annoyed. “Do you have to be so pessimistic already?”

Hwang Gildong didn’t care how he reacted. He made a noise in the back of his throat. “I know, I know.The Four Auspicious Beasts haven’t come forward yet, and the Peach Blossom Spring won’t just sitaround and do nothing in this situation. However, most of the Full Moon Fortresses are guarded byAbsolutes. It’s unlikely that the Four Auspicious Beasts and daoist immortals will be able to do much inthis situation.”

Hwang Gildong paused and sighed again.

“Besides, the daoist immortals might not really help us. They have achieved their goals after dreamingof eternal life. Would they risk themselves to interfere so much in the affairs of this world? This is justthe petty and wishful thinking of poor people who haven’t witnessed the immortals’ selfishness.”

“......”

Thirty minutes passed. During this time, Old Sword Demon closed his eyes, ignoring Hwang Gildong’sendless sighs. He was fascinated by the technique books he had recently looted from a group ofcultivators.

He found something incredibly valuable inside one of the books that contained the spiritual rootcondensation method. This type of content was difficult for ordinary people to follow easily, but this wasnot the case for Old Sword Demon, who controlled his mana at will.

Just a little bit more…

Now, it seemed like he just needed to condense around three teaspoons of mana in the dantian toachieve a spiritual root. Sitting still for four days to concentrate on his cultivation seemed like time wellspent now.

Hwang Gildong knew he had been meditating, yet he dared come and bother him. He’d always beenan obnoxious individual.

Suddenly, a voice began talking to them. “Not all daoist immortals are selfish. Even after they ascend,some keep an eye on the world out of concern for their descendants. Didn’t you also witness thestruggle of the Sword Immortal?”

Hwang Gildong was surprised. He took a deep breath. “Hah...”novelbin

Old Sword Demon also opened his eyes.

A beautiful woman wearing a crimson robe was smiling at them. Old Sword Demon and HwangGildong recognized her. All three had worked together at some point, thanks to Grid.

The woman was Yeo Yulan. She was one of the strongest daoist immortals, and she was so powerful,she could even defeat Transcendents.

She descended followed by more than ten daoist immortals. “We are here to help you this time.”

So Peach Blossom Spring was also taking this situation seriously.

The cultivators suddenly appeared in the world one day. The words they spoke were bizarre and alien.They ignored mental training and argued that only physical training would allow them to climb to beingan Absolute.

The daoist immortals didn’t get to discuss too thoroughly with them, but the cultivator’s terribleintentions were expressed naturally through their behavior. They easily slaughtered others just toaccumulate more power, which wasn’t acceptable.

Yeo Yulan felt the need to stop them. Those who dared tarnish the names of immortals wereundermining the entire value of the Peach Blossom Spring.

Immediately, Hwang Gildong had doubts.

“I thought I should raise a candle to the sky and ask for help. Thank you for being the first to takeaction. You seem particularly proactive. If the cultivators say they dream of ascending, you won’t endup betraying us, right?”

“They can’t offer us any terms. Their own techniques, talismans, and other treasures are totallydifferent from what we have learned and cultivated on our own.”

Yeo Yulan’s eyes curved like a fox’s. Her orange eyes examined Old Sword Demon.

“I have to confess that I am rather worried about you. I guess you have already been persuaded by thecultivators and become one of them,” she stated.

Hwang Gildong told her, “Don’t worry. This old man got this technique from killing the cultivators andlooting their corpses, not by striking a deal with them. You don’t necessarily have to take my word onthis. You can ask everybody in town and they’ll tell you the same thing.”

“Old man...? You do know that I am hundreds of years younger than you, right?” Old Sword Demonprotested.

“You look just like my grandfather.”

Seeing Hwang Gildong and Old Sword Demon bickering, Yeo Yulan sighed in relief. She thought theywould be valuable and that’s why she came to help, but she still had some doubts. Luckily, all of herdoubts were now cleared. The two people she observed were more honest than she had initiallythought.

“Please tell me everything you have gathered about the Full Moon Fortresses so far. We will take careof the places where the strongest enemies are gathered.”

“You will?”

“Is there a problem with us dealing with enemies that mortals can’t handle?”

“Aren’t you Transcendents? You aren’t that different from us in terms of power level. On the other hand,there are many Absolutes swarming the Full Moon Fortresses...”

“...What?”

Hwang Gildong’s bombshell remark made the daoist immortals whisper to each other. Yeo Yulan alsolooked shocked.

Just then, a commotion could be heard outside.

“This update is completely stupid.”

“Stop the erosion ritual? Bullshit. How are we supposed to stop it?”

Those were the players who were wiped out and resurrected after going on the expedition to the FullMoon Fortresses. They were all pretty angry, but the atmosphere was unusual.

Yeo Yulan’s expression became serious once the number of players returning exceeded hundreds andreached thousands.

“There are that many Absolutes among the cultivators? Are the daoist immortals they are talking aboutgods and not demigods, then?”

“I think so. At the very least, they won’t acknowledge you as immortals.”

Just then…

“Uwaaaack!”

“These crazy bastards chased us all the way here!”

Screams and profanities could be heard from outside. Hwang Gildong and the daoist immortals rushedto the windows and couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Countless people were seen flying on thehorizon, heading their way, each of them exuding an unusual aura.

The ground shook the moment a void refining cultivator landed in the center of the city. Powerfulshockwaves burst out in tandem, causing the surrounding houses to collapse and the players at theresurrection point to scatter.

Yeo Yulan sighed. “...They really are Absolutes.” She hurriedly grabbed some talismans.

A chain flew in before she could even react, but it was blocked by a talisman and trembled. Beads ofsweat appeared on Yeo Yulan’s forehead.

The chains moved like snakes and approached the talisman.

She chanted a spell and made the talisman explode before piercing through the ceiling and flying intothe air. The void refining cultivator, who had seen her from a distance and launched the attack, snortedat the sight.

“You call that crude piece of paper a talisman?”

The cultivator took out a blue talisman. An inscription flowed out of his mouth and imprinted itself ontothe talisman. He shot a huge, silver bird-shaped talisman at Yeo Yulan.

She was startled by the lightning fast attack and raised her sword to block it, but the chain, which wasstill intact despite the explosion from earlier, flew and wrapped around her wrist.

Yeo Yulan’s beautiful face paled. “Um...!”

The other daoist immortals and Hwang Gildong couldn’t help her. The number of cultivators whoinvaded the city were in the hundreds, and that included void refining cultivators. There were so manythat it was hard for her allies to help her right away.

“Kuaack!”

The daoist immortals screamed.

“......?”

The silver bird that almost struck Yeo Yulan’s face stopped and slowly dissipated. The chain on herwrist also loosened. Yeo Yulan, now safe, looked around to assess the situation.

Old Sword Demon had been sitting with his eyes closed regardless of what was happening around him.But now, he was at the center of the battlefield.

The cultivator who had attacked Yeo Yulan was bleeding. He seemed quite shocked.

Before the cultivator with the hole in his heart could say anything, Hwang Gildong intervened andruined the atmosphere. “Did you eat something bad?” he asked Old Sword Demon. “You don’t normallydo this.”

He was the one who reacted the loudest to what Old Sword Demon just did.

Old Sword Demon said nothing. Five invisible daggers were spinning around him. This set consisting offive daggers was a treasure he himself had smelted immediately after the update.

At first, he couldn’t use it well because it was pretty weak since he didn’t have his condensed spiritualroot at that time. But now he could easily maneuver it. He used spiritual energy to activate it, and itseemed pretty powerful.

However, only Old Sword Demon could see it. This was because he used one of his assassin’sultimate skills, Dark World, to hide it.

The cultivator hurriedly drank an elixir and viciously glared at Old Sword Demon. “You are a qi refiningcultivator. What trick did you use?”

Of course, Old Sword Demon didn’t give him time to recover and immediately swung his sword, whichslammed into the cultivator’s protective shield and released poison.

People often forgot that Old Sword Demon was an assassin because he usually fought fairly. However,because he was an assassin, he possessed a number of traits and skills meant to lower the target’sdefenses.

He aimed the invisible daggers at the gaps in the cracked shield.

“Keuk!”

The cultivator was wounded once again and became furious. He counterattacked.

‘Was that not enough?’

The counterattack hit Old Sword Demon at the speed of light. He grimaced.

Back when he completed the assassin’s fifth class advancement, he’d unlocked the Dark World skill.However, he’d always envied the Sword Saint’s Control Sword. He predicted that the Dark World andControl Sword would work very well together. He collected information every day to see if there was away to learn Control Sword as an assassin.

However, Control Sword was a skill exclusive to Sword Saints. He could not obtain it given his currentstrength.

The update had occurred at a time when he was feeling kind of down. Old Sword Demon wasoverjoyed when he saw the contents of the update. He expected that, if he became a cultivator andmade best use of certain treasures, he could create a synergy between Dark World and something thatcould replace Control Sword.

As expected, he’d succeeded in doing that. Still, the synergy was somewhat poor as of right now. Hehad just condensed a spiritual root and was unable to increase the power of the treasure to 100%. As aresult, he was almost dead.

‘If only I was as clever as the youths.’

Wouldn’t he have quickly accumulated cultivation and destroyed the enemy in front of him?

Old Sword Demon was in danger even after a successful surprise attack. He shut his eyes and tastedregret in his mouth.

A light brighter than the sun temporarily blinded everyone. People were confused. A blaring divinevoice deafened everyone.

[How dare things without any genealogy run rampant in my territory?]

No, this wasn’t just a voice. Someone’s will was engraved into the space. No, it wasn’t just someone. Itwas a true Absolute.

Soon, the light cleared.

All the cultivators on the battlefield had been pierced by that light and perished.

It was Hanul, a God of the beginning. He was surrounded by a brilliant light. Everyone’s eyes were onhim.
