Chapter 212

**Season 2, Chapter 126:** As half of the Sky Gorge Mountain collapses from Gang Ryong's extremely powerful attack, Hong Ye-Mong blows away the falling debris at her location those around her. Meanwhile Gang pauses for a moment, musing about the Dan giving him overwhelming power that increases exponentially as his emotions become stronger and wonders if he will become like Hyeol Bi if he loses control of it. In the distance, the regenerating Okcheonbi curses Hwan Sa for granting Gang so much power and laments the loss of the Thousand Circle Formation, fearing that he may be defeated if he has to fight Gang and the two elders now free from the pressure of the sphere of resonance. Okcheonbi then muses about how he did not get weaker but his foes simply got stronger. After recalling Goo Hwi asking him if staying in hiding rotted his martial power, the Asura Demon Lord angrily says that no matter how much his foes have gotten stronger, he will defeat them all if he wills it. However, he changes his mind right after, noting that if he let the power of the Dan consume him, he will cease to be himself and that would be no different from death.

As Okcheonbi is struggling to control his power, Gang Ryong approaches him, announcing that the power of the Dan is going on a rampage within his body and at that current rate, he will become a monster just like Hyeol Bi. Gang then says that he will end his opponent before gearing up to unleash another technique. Okcheonbi simply stares at his foe, saying he pity his old self and that the two elders must have been waiting to fight him for so long but a total stranger came in to steal him from them, concluding that this situation might be better but warns Gang he won't get a second chance. Gang Ryong then proceeds to annihilate the area in range with his attack. However, when the dust settles, Okcheonbi stands there unharmed, causing the young man to wonder how he survived when he barely moved and with him dodging or reflecting out of the question. Then to Gang's shock, Okcheonbi reveals he let himself be consumed by the power of the Dan resulting in him getting younger. The Asura Demon Lord then rapidly closes in on Gang and sends him crashing away with a powerful strike, before following up by restraining his opponent.

As Okcheonbi prepare to remove the Dan from Gang, a powerful attack hones in on both of them, knocking Gang away and forcing Okcheonbi to defend himself. Yongbi then makes his presence known, noting that it's a lot easier to move now with the Thousand Circle Formation gone, adding that he leave their little boy alone and fight him instead. Upon seeing Okcheonbi's face, the surprised Yongbi questions him if he learned some Taoist sexual practices (방중술 (房中術) , *Bangjungsul*) since he's aging and de-aging willy-nilly. Okcheonbi asks the approaching Yongbi if he has something to show him and the latter responds that he does before unleashing six immensely powerful attacks without moving. However, Okcheonbi emerges unharmed and with ki swirling around him, and excitedly asks Yongbi if his special technique is just another Black Shattering Blast. With a smirk, Yongbi simply responds "no way".
