“ | In the name of Cheonma, the leader of the Demon Cult, I acknowledge your blade, the blade of Mount Hua, as the greatest on this earth...How unfortunate indeed. Had I but lived to see one more day, I would have become truly worthy of the name Cheonma. But it does not matter. This, too, is my destiny. Remember this, disciple of Mount Hua. This is not the end. The Demonic Forces shall one day return, and on that day, the world will fall under the rule of the Demon Cult. And we will be unstoppable...! | „ |
~ Cheon Ma's final words before being beheaded. |
Cheon Ma is the overaching antagonist of the martial arts novel and manhwa series, Return of the Blossoming Blade. He was the cult leader and founder of Heavenly Demon Cult, a brutal following of martial artists/religious fanatics who worship him and his godly-like power.
Oriented to the pinnacle of strength and wanting to expand, the Cheon Ma declared war against the central plains and waged a destructive campaign of dominance against its residents.
Cheon Ma first appeared in the final moments of his vicious war as he sat on top of the corpses of dozens of martial artists and warriors having slaughtered them single-handily but was ultimately defeated. Dying from his wounds and lamenting that he couldn't live up to his name, Cheon Ma acknowledged a dying Cheongmyeong's blade to be the greatest in the world and gave one final declaration that the Demonic Cult will rise again someday before Mount Hua's hero beheaded him.
In the series' audio drama, he is voiced by Pyo Yeong-jae who provides the Korean dubbing voices for Varus from League of Legends and Suikotsu from Inuyasha.
