Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

"The Ji family will remember what happened today. Don't think you can just walk away!"

He stood in the moonlight, his gaze disdainful, his body shimmering with silver light. His divine body and blood were as deep and vast as the ocean, and the cool radiance reflected on his angular face.

"As for what you just said, even if that day truly comes, with a formidable enemy at hand, why would I, Ji Haoyue, need to rely on outsiders?"

"I'll just kill myself!"

This is Ji Haoyue.

Ji Family Divine Body, the pinnacle of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness, has every right to be proud and arrogant.

In his mind, there may be enemies ahead, but he will eventually overcome them one by one.

The so-called "man who can cover the sky" is invincible.

It wasn't arrogance born of ignorance, but a conviction forged step by step, etched with blood.

Without this belief, one is not worthy of being called a divine body, nor worthy of bearing the glory of the Ji family for ten thousand years.

not to mention……

He sneered inwardly.

Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law?

Although Ziyue is a bit mischievous, not just anyone can catch her eye.

This mysterious person, who kept hiding his face, kept saying "treat your brother-in-law well" and "use your brother-in-law's help," which was utterly absurd.

It's nothing but empty talk, a mere attempt to confuse him and disrupt his resolve.

How dare you show off such clumsy tricks in front of Ji Haoyue?

He didn't bother to speculate on whether the other party's words contained hidden meanings.

The road ahead is under your own feet, and the path is in your own hands. Why do you need others to point out the way?

Whether it's stubbornness or arrogance, that invincible heart is the foundation for overcoming all obstacles and reaching the pinnacle.

"Then try my trick."

Beneath his black robe, Xu Jinhuan loosely clenched his fists and gently pressed forward.

In an instant, a black hole appeared.

The ink was deep and dark, like standing on the edge of an abyss, as if a rift had been torn open in the void, leading to nothingness.

The light distorted, shattered, and annihilated; even the sight of it made one feel utterly empty, as if about to fall into its depths forever.

As soon as the black hole was formed, it silently descended upon Ji Haoyue.

Swallowing the Devil!

The forbidden inheritance of the Ruthless lineage devours all bodies and melts all paths, so domineering that it is unreasonable and makes the entire Beidou region turn pale at the mere mention of it.

At this moment, this skill has reappeared in Xu Jinhuan's hands.

He entrusted this task to the Dao Palace, but it was not done arbitrarily.

The five deities recorded by the Eastern Emperor are each stationed in a different region and each performs their own duties.

The Lung Metal Deity carries the Flying Immortal Technique, which governs killing and fierceness.

The Liver Wood Deity governs growth, absorption, and the immense vitality that transforms all things in heaven and earth into nourishment for itself.

Trees are said to be crooked and straight, their roots reaching deep into the netherworld while their branches and leaves reach the sky.

After being devoured comes transformation.

After plunder comes growth.

Using the nature of the liver wood to control the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is just like an ancient tree taking root in rotten soil, turning decay into towering divine splendor.

After months of arduous training, this is the first time Xu Jinhuan has performed his skills in front of others.

He wasn't afraid to show himself in public, since the Holy Land of Yaoguang was the one taking the blame anyway.

As the black hole pressed down, Ji Haoyue's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The strange phenomenon of the bright moon behind them lit up again, its clear light spreading out like a celestial river pouring out, colliding with the swallowing black hole.

Silently, the black hole was shattered by the moonlight, collapsing inch by inch.

However, Ji Haoyue's expression changed at that moment.

He sensed it; just a moment ago, before the black hole collapsed, it devoured a wisp of his divine king body's original power.

Very little, so little as to be negligible, so little that it can recover on its own in a short time.

But he still noticed it.

That feeling of being stripped away was subtle yet real, domineering yet silent, taking away something that belonged to him.

This is the instinctive alertness of the God-King body.

Xu Jinhuan withdrew his hand, and within the Dao Palace, the Liver Wood Deity trembled slightly.

It worked!

With a single strike, he intercepted a tiny fraction of the original Dao power that Ji Haoyue's Divine King Body was dissipating.

Even if the other party can't even perceive the lack of quantity, it's enough!

Could it be that in the future, he too will dig up graves, knock on coffins, and devour the essence of all the kings in the world?

Ji Haoyue stared at Xu Jinhuan with a very serious expression, remaining silent for a long time.

"How did you come to know this method?"

The moonlight flickered around him, reflecting in his cold, stern eyes.

That kind of cultivation method was evil, domineering, and had a strange effect of stripping away one's source, which vaguely reminded him of an ancient book, a scripture that should not have existed in the world.

It comes from that name that makes the entire Beidou system tremble with fear.

"Young Master," the elder beside him said, his voice strained, "You mean...?"

"The Devouring Emperor".

Ji Haoyue uttered these four words and looked at Xu Jinhuan, as if trying to see through the black robe to see what kind of face was hidden underneath.

"The Sacred Land of Yao Guang is no ordinary place."

He turned and strode away.

"I will report this matter to the elders of my family."

The Ji family followed closely behind and disappeared into the ancient battlefield.

Xu Jinhuan gazed in the direction they had left and stroked his chin.

The blame for Yaoguang Holy Land's actions is only getting bigger and bigger today.

However, it's not entirely unfair to them.

The Ruthless lineage is rooted in Yao Guang, and the inheritance of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is indeed there, it just hasn't been exposed yet.

However, it has nothing to do with Xu Jinhuan.

Not only Yao Guang, but also Hua Yunfei of the Tai Xuan Sect and Jiang Yifei of the Jiang family, all possess the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

"Your Mightiness……"

Behind them, Yan Ruyu's voice rang out again.

Xu Jinhuan looked back.

Those clear, cold eyes were looking at him, and deep within them, the blue light had not yet faded.

All the surrounding demon cultivators had been taken into his gourd, leaving her alone on the vast ancient battlefield.

The Chaos Green Lotus floated beside her, its green light flowing and reflecting the Daoist aura around her, as if they were one with her.

"Now, can you tell me?"

The search in their eyes grew even stronger.

"Who exactly are you?" Yan Ruyu paused slightly.

"Why do you have the blood of your ancestors? It must be the blood of your ancestors, right? I can feel the resonance of our bloodline."

Xu Jinhuan remained silent.

I really don't know how to answer this question.

You can't exactly say that I traveled across hundreds of thousands of years to meet your ancestor when he was a child deep in the Qinling Mountains, and fed him hundreds of medicinal herbs as food.

Grateful for his kindness, he gave me three drops of his own blood before parting.

If Yan Ruyu were to say this, she would probably think he had gone mad.

"It's a long story."

He carefully considered his words, and finally uttered only one sentence.

"Fairy, you only need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you or the demon race."

"Please travel with me for a while. There's no need to seek refuge with the Peacock King; I will protect you myself!"

Yan Ruyu looked at him quietly, remaining silent for a long time.

Finally, she nodded gently.

I believe you.

She didn't believe in those words, but in the deep-seated resonance within her blood that couldn't be faked—something that couldn't be faked.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer," Xu Jinhuan said. "Although the Ji family has retreated, they may still make a comeback. Fairy, let's leave together first."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly.

The Chaos Green Lotus trembled slightly, and the divine radiance that filled the sky receded, transforming into a beam of green light that entered her brow.

She took one last look at the ancient battlefield, where the corpses of demon cultivators were scattered everywhere, their limbs and weapons broken, a horrifying sight.

A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Walk."

The two figures blurred into two long rainbows, soaring through the air and disappearing into the depths of the vast mountains in an instant.
