I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

The next moment, a cold light burst forth in the boy's eyes, and demonic energy surged within him, surging out to the heavens!

Chapter 119 If we take another step forward, it will be a complete upheaval.

The Great Emperor Ranking!

To be included on this list, one must be at least an emperor-level figure.

Huang Quan certainly knew what the top ten names represented.

That might be an existence comparable to the Dragon Slayer Emperor, or even a more terrifying existence.

It should be noted that even when he killed the Dragon Slayer Emperor with a single sword strike, he still relied on external forces.

But what he understood even more clearly was how to conduct oneself, what to do and what not to do.

This is perseverance.

So, since you've made a promise, you have to keep it.

As for what the man in black said, the boy really didn't take it seriously. All that the other party said was just one person's opinion. Besides, his thoughts were indeed the same as before. So what if it was that 'person'? He was originally from the Demon Sect, not some prestigious sect.

Moreover, rationally speaking, is it possible that the foreseen future was caused by the black-robed man's desire to glimpse it and then prevent everything from happening, ultimately leading to the tragedy?

If left unattended, there will be no trouble at all.

When the mind is clear and focused, actions will be effortless and unhindered.

Huang Quan instantly mobilized his strongest cultivation. Against other enemies, he could conserve his spiritual power, suppress his trump cards, and test the waters first. But the enemy he was facing now was not like that.

The previous battle with the Dragon Slayer Emperor was like an insurmountable chasm.

For him now, this is not an insurmountable barrier, but rather, he is directly facing the sky.

Therefore, he raised his hand, and the demonic energy surging from his body condensed into a huge demonic shadow dharma image.

The whispered words reverberated through heaven and earth, as if leading people into a dark and hellish abyss.

That demonic shadow's domineering power annihilated everything.

Today, the heavens are shattered.

Looking at the enormous phantom of the demon god, the man in black was slightly moved and murmured, "So you inherited his legacy. Then why did you stop me? Aren't we on the same path?"

His expression deepened with sorrow, yet the moment the boy made his move, a bowl appeared in his hand as well.

That bowl was crystal clear, as if it were constructed to swallow the heavens, with a clear light flowing over it, accumulating endless merit and radiance.

The bowl is named "Swallowing the Heavens".

The man in black gently raised his hand, then flipped the bowl lid off. This seemingly ordinary move was actually a top-tier divine ability, passed down from ancient times to the present day, and its power... was equally terrifying.

It is said that...

There was once a great being who could destroy an entire realm with a single palm strike.

Now that the Heaven-Swallowing Bowl has been overturned, it is like the world being rebuilt, and like a mountain pressing down on the Yellow Springs. The flames that filled the sky have all disappeared along with all the shouts and commotion.

"Later... if I go with my senior brother to make a wish for the New Year, what should I wish for?"

Amidst the dazzling lanterns, the girl fluttered about like a butterfly. The light illuminated her fair face, and the warmth emanating from the light seemed to cast a faint pink hue on her cheeks.

The girl held a lantern she had carefully selected over a long period of time.

In her other hand, she secretly hid a beautiful hairpin.

The girl had already planned everything out clearly. She had already completed the transaction with Jiang Wanyu when she bought the lanterns. Later, she would take Huang Quan to the moat to make wishes one by one, without anyone interfering with the other.

Of course, she wouldn't just drag Huang Quan along to make a wish. The girl would take this opportunity to hand the hairpin to Huang Quan, have her senior brother comb her hair, and personally insert the hairpin for her, just like she did that night. It would also be a good opportunity to check her senior brother's hair-combing skills.

The girl's beautiful face seemed to be flushed red by the light.

The girl remembered that she had only participated in the Tangyuan Festival once in her previous life, and then she gradually forgot about it because she was busy becoming stronger.

The sect leader led a few people into the mortal world, then picked up lamps and had them write down their wishes and release them. At that time, the sect leader also said that the starry sky was the wish made by all the people in the world.

Your wishes will eventually float up to the sky and join them. Of course, you can't be too greedy, otherwise, you'll be punished by the heavens halfway down and fall.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qici's hand trembled as she secretly wrote down her wish. She secretly crossed out her wish to marry her senior brother and changed it to a small wish instead.

"Sect Master, Senior Brother, Junior Sister, you will all be alright, we will always be together."

Then the girl released it into the sky, watching it become a star in the heavens.

After many years, Gu Qici encountered such a grand lantern festival again, and this time she was with her senior brother.

So today is another opportunity for her to finish writing down the wishes she hadn't completed before. Besides, wishes in the sky are hard to control, but those placed in the river are fine. She's sure she can protect this lamp and help it drift all the way to the heart of the river.

By the way, I also asked my senior brother to help her apply some of the rouge she bought earlier.

The thought of her senior brother clumsily scribbling and dabbling on her lips brought a slight smile to the girl's lips.

But just as the two had bought what they wanted and were eager to go back and find the boy,

Those around them sensed the sudden burst of spiritual power.

A terrifying demonic aura surged, its intensity... suffocating.

However, the silence vanished in an instant.

The people around were alarmed by the sudden surge of power, but then immediately began to wonder if they were imagining things.

But for Jiang Wanyu and Gu Qici... after sensing this sudden change, a great fear arose in their hearts.

The two stood frozen in place, their eyes vacant, staring at the spot where the breath came and then disappeared.

"Senior brother..." she murmured.

The girl disappeared from the spot almost simultaneously.

"Clatter." A lantern fell to the ground, rolling around as if it would be crushed at any moment.

"How could a fight break out in a place like this?!" Jiang Wanyu rushed over, but by then, Gu Qici had completely disappeared.

She saw the lonely lantern, quickly picked it up, and carefully held it in her arms. Then, the girl's gaze turned blankly and worriedly in a certain direction.

"This aura..." Inside the storage ring, Sword Granny was even more stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Devouring heaven and earth, creating and destroying illusory realms—this is the Devouring Emperor who claimed to have accidentally glimpsed the invincible aura of an unparalleled powerhouse from another world and thus comprehended divine abilities...?!"

As the man in black brought down the Heaven-Swallowing Bowl, Huang Quan's sword also struck down. However, the overwhelming power unleashed by that domineering sword strike was easily pierced by the man in black with a single, delicate finger.

"boom……"

The sword mark shattered, and in an instant, violent spiritual energy swept past the man in black. His black robe billowed, yet he did not retreat a single step.

"In a place like this, using such a technique, aren't you afraid of incurring too much bloodshed?"

The man in black sighed softly.

The inverted Heaven-Swallowing Bowl did not directly suppress Huang Quan, but instead dragged him into the world within the bowl. The surrounding area was brightly lit, yet covered with a layer of Heaven-Swallowing color, completely isolating him from all external noise, as if creating another world.

"Since you have instigated a fight here, you will naturally realize that I will retaliate. If you truly have compassion for the world, you will have considered the consequences. Why should I have any more concerns?"

Huang Quan said calmly, "So your words are meaningless. Even if it is truly a crime, shouldn't you bear the responsibility?"

"Your Excellency... is quite eloquent." The man in black shook his head and smiled bitterly. The young man now reminded him of the little girl he had faced back then, and both of them were equally stubborn.

Of course, she's different from that little girl. This one isn't just good with words… her fists are even more formidable.

"But sir, are you really... not planning to give up?" the man in black said again after thinking for a moment.

The two exchanged blows, and though the fight was over in a single move, in a sense, the outcome was already decided. The man in black, distracted by protecting the others, took the sword strike without sustaining any injury, demonstrating his terrifying strength and the vast difference in power between the two.

"I'm still standing here, why should I give up?" Huang Quan said calmly, "The Great Emperor Realm is not invincible, and... the Emperor's Path has been severed, so you should be seriously injured or have severed your own life to survive until now, right?"

Although the man in black has mostly healed and his body has been cleaned of the dust, Huang Quan can still smell the blood on him. The man in black's injuries were too severe; in fact, he should have died.

"Even if severely injured, it is not something that Nirvana alone can withstand."

The man in black, his face expressionless, said earnestly, "This struggle will only cause you more pain. You should understand that. Why can't you follow your heart and give up sooner? You think you can stop me? That's impossible."

"My feelings? If you could truly see through my feelings, you wouldn't be speaking to me like this," Huang Quan said softly.

At the same time, the spiritual energy within the boy's body surged once more! He didn't know why the man in black wasn't making a move, but this was an excellent opportunity for him.

The Crimson Peak Sword appeared in his hand, spinning wildly, its first resounding boom shattering the earth. At the same time, the Crimson Peak Sword and the Immortal Shield in Huang Quan's hand rose again, overlapping directly, and an even more mysterious aura was bestowed upon him.

Amidst the boiling demonic energy, the phantom of the demon god reappeared, a terrifying figure that seemed to have broken free from eternity, struggling to coalesce, yet ultimately unable to fully materialize.

Even so, the burst of power was still suppressed under Huang Quan's control and directly struck the black-robed man!

The Crimson Peak Sword activated another divine ability, directly amplifying the power of its burst. With a deafening roar, the terrifying force crushed the ground in front of Huang Quan, crashing down on the man in black like a raging torrent.

“Shadow Demon, Heaven Destroys, Demon Dies…” The man in black looked slightly bewildered when he saw the divine power Huang Quan used, but then he murmured softly, “Isn’t it all a complete inheritance?”

Just as he was about to withstand the attack with his bare hands again... another sword cry rang out!

"Boom!" In mid-air, the Crimson Peak Sword Qi derived from Huang Quan exploded! He pushed his spiritual power to the limit, and in the blink of an eye, he launched another attack, the powerful spiritual power surging like a tidal wave.

The final toll of the bell was the true explosion! Before the first wave of power even reached the man in black, a second, even more terrifying wave rolled in, merging with the first wave!

Large slabs of rock were ripped from the ground, then pulverized by the violent force, the demonic power overwhelming. Huang Quan was unable to unleash the full power of the Crimson Peak Sword attack.

However, by using the Immortal Shield as a medium and unleashing the combined power of the two, he forcibly recreated the power within the tomb that day!

Facing a powerful figure who resembled an emperor, Huang Quan unleashed all his power for the first time without restraint. All that he had learned during this period reflected and merged to create such an astonishing and deadly attack.

The man in black finally changed his gaze. He no longer tried to withstand the attack with his bare hands. In an instant, a layer of golden light enveloped his body.

Like a flawless golden body, shining with golden light.

The man in black, wielding this powerful divine ability, was like the Immovable King, his aura as majestic as a mountain.

He was like a true shadow descending upon the world; his aura at that moment was too majestic and vast, as if transcending everything.

The overwhelming force struck him, yet it could not shake his golden body!

Huang Quan used spiritual power to unleash such an attack, and the power it generated even exceeded that of many experts at the Transformation Realm or even the Heavenly Monarch Realm. However... the man in black was an Emperor.

"What a pity." The man in black knew this too, and couldn't help but sigh. Huang Quan, at the Nirvana Realm, could unleash such power, which was truly beyond his imagination.

However, this only surprised him; it couldn't even hurt him.

"Isn't it a bit too late to say it's a pity now?" But in the next second, the boy's figure flashed before the golden figure of the man in black.

A cold, sharp sword light flashed, transforming into countless sword techniques, slashing towards the man in black.
