Heavenly Demon Patriarch

The Patriarch was a ruthless and terrifying figure, possessing a cruel streak that made his descendant, Yeo Woon, seem tame by comparison. His murderous nature struck fear into the hearts of villains, evil spirits, and ordinary people alike, forcing them into submission rather than resistance. However, beneath his brutality lay a sharp intellect and quick wit, which he used to his advantage throughout his life. A deep thinker driven by curiosity, he constantly sought growth as a martial artist. Despite his fearsome reputation, he was known for his unwavering smile—finding the time to grin no matter the situation.

Myst, Might, Mayhem See more detail article. Eight hundred years before the time of Cheon Yeo Woon, the man destined to become the first Heavenly Demon was a teenage boy named Jeong. He lived with his grandfather, an herb collector who always warned him never to reveal his true nature. However, his grandfather is brutally murdered, and Jeong succumbs to his rage. He goes on a killing spree, though he managed to find the murderer, he was ultimately defeated and sentenced to death. While imprisoned, Jeong encountered Mok Gyeongwoon, the young master of the Mok Sword Manor, who was stunned by their identical appearance. Seeking to usurp his family's heirship, Mok Gyeongwoon devises a plan to use Jeong as his stand-in. However, before they could leave the prison, Jeong breaks Mok Gyeongwoon’s neck with his bare hands, killing him. From that moment on, he assumes the identity of "Mok Gyeongwoon" and infiltrates the sword manor. During his time at the manor, Jeong now "Mok Gyeongwoon" comes across a book on shamanism and gains the ability to commune with spirits. While exploring a hidden chamber, he discovers a sinister book bound in human skin, inadvertently releasing the dangerous Blue Spirit. The spirit attempts to possess him, but through sheer willpower, he subdues her and makes her his familiar. Under her guidance, Mok Gyeongwoon swiftly grasped the fundamentals of cultivation and martial arts, marking the beginning of his rise to power. Cheon Mu-Sung attempted to stop Mok Gyeongwoon's confrontation with the blade god. In the end it didn't work as Cheon-Ma didn't want to get involved with future problems and only wanted to focus on the present. His journey is chronicled in a prequel novel, detailing his adventures across the Wulin. Along the way, he secretly mastered various martial arts by observing and refining the techniques of numerous martial artists. By the age of 18, Jeong now known as Cheon Ma had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, defeating renowned masters with a single sword and earning the title of the world's greatest warrior. Among his influences are Jin Woon-Hwi and Sima Chak, hailed as the greatest swordsmen of their era. Cheon Ma studied his sword arts, including the Supreme Sky Demon Sword, which was designed to counter all existing techniques. His talent was unparalleled—he never required a teacher and could replicate any technique after witnessing it just once, a feat even his descendent Yeo Woon, with Nano’s assistance, could not achieve instantly. Throughout Murim’s history, no warrior or demon ever stood as his equal. In the
