Chapter 192

**Season 2, Chapter 106:** Hyeol Bi takes down the Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect warriors with a massive explosion and when the dust settles, he looks over at Gang Ryong; shocked that the young man was able to deflect it. Meanwhile, Gang recalls the River Dragon Armour's words about the Dan and realize the transformation he went through was because of it. Then a red aura starts emanating from Hyeol Bi before shooting out and ensnaring the ground around Gang, enclosing him in a ball of earth. The Black Dragon King closes his fist and the ball of earth compacts in on itself. However, a blue aura detonate inside Hyeol Bi's fist, mangling his hand while Gang breaks out of the ball of earth at the same time.

Pausing for a moment, Gang Ryong thought about how materializing ki, which is normally formless or using ki to directly destroy objects was a technique passed along secretly in the old Demon Cults. He then comes to an understanding that was how Hyeol Bi twisted his limbs without touching him and that the Dan can make formless ki visible, as well as materialize and destroy objects with it. Hyeol Bi then notices a blue aura emanating from Gang Ryong and recalls a conversation with Hwan Sa. In a flashback, Hwan Sa lied to Hyeol Bi that the blue Dan from the Grand Prelate was destroyed and melted down as an ingredient for the Red Dan which resided inside his colleague. After Hyeol Bi asked if he can make another, Hwan Sa replied it took him decades of research on the secret codices left by the Blue-eyed Sorcerer and to located the Grand Prelate. He further goes on about how it took him another few decades through trial and error to perfect the Dan and that if he repeated the process once more, the chances of the procedure working was not even a tenth of a chance. Hwan Sa then advised his colleague to focus on being able to control the power of the Dan after unleashing it and that thanks to the notes left behind by the Blue-eyed Sorcerer, he will be able to familiarize himself with the Dan's power in the Palace of Conception. He then told Hyeol Bi to focus on his training and to leave everything to him. With the flashback continuing, Hyeol Bi recalls Hwan Sa talking to himself about how the dream he gave up on due to the death of the Heavenly Destroyer Dokgo Ryong was renewed due to the discovery of Gang Ryong. He then commented that Hyeol Bi had talent and tenacity but doubted his colleague would be able to surpass the limit of Demonic Resurrection and be able to open the gate to the "other-realms". Hwan Sa further commented that he must not let Gang meet with Hyeol Bi before he unlocked his full potential and decided to use the Black Dragon King as a sacrifice.

In the present, Hyeol Bi comes to a realization that Hwan Sa lied to him and gave the Blue Dan to Gang Ryong. Then in his mind, Hwan Sa tells him that all of his plans after finding Gang revolved around the young man will Hyeol Bi being merely a consumable object useful for unleashing Gang's true potential. Infuriated, Hyeol Bi gathers an immense amount of swirling ki and Gang responds with a powerful technique, the Five Wheels of Devastation. A massive explosion decimates the area, and takes out Hyeol Bi's left arm. When the dust settles, Gang only stands there staring at Hyeol Bi, prompting the latter to attack. However, Gang casually deflects the strike before slicing through his opponent with a single chop.
