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

The man in black calmly raised his hand and pressed down, gathering all the endless sword light in his palm and extinguishing it with effortless ease. But at the very moment the man in black made his move, within Huang Quan's body, the pure white sword seed hummed, drawing upon the profound sword intent of heaven and earth.

Huang Quan's white sword flashed and instantly pierced towards the man in black.

Huang Quan had been preparing for this attack for a long time, and it was timed perfectly to strike just as the man in black was resisting his sword energy. However, the man in black remained unmoved and blocked the attack with his golden body.

What happened next was beyond the black-clad man's expectations. A flash of white sword light, to the black-clad man's astonishment... directly shattered his golden body divine power. With this single sword strike, all laws could be broken. In the brief clash just now, Huang Quan instantly saw through the flaw in the black-clad man's golden body and used this sword strike as a sure kill.

This is the legacy of the Dragon Slayer Emperor.

However, Huang Quan's current understanding is only in the form of a sword, and given his own weakness, breaking through the black-clad man's golden body technique is already his limit.

As the black-robed man watched the sword light disappear, he couldn't help but marvel. When he received the sword light, he felt a stinging pain. This sword had indeed posed a threat to him, but only compared to Huang Quan's other moves.

The difference in their cultivation levels was so vast that... no matter how much power Huang Quan exerted, he could hardly harm him, let alone kill him.

In the end, the sword light stopped an inch in front of the man in black.

The man in black raised two fingers and pressed down on the wisp of sword light.

"Your Excellency is following the trend of the times. Breaking through my golden body is not a big deal. Let's stop here. If you go any further, it will be a cataclysmic event."

Chapter 120 Today, I finally gained the advantage of my cultivation level.

"In the end, I still couldn't kill you, could I?" Huang Quan's eyes flashed with a cold light as he watched the sword strike being blocked.

"You don't need to be so self-deprecating. If we were to fight at the same level, I would be no match for you," the man in black said earnestly.

For a figure at the Great Emperor Realm to acknowledge that he is no match for Huang Quan in a battle against someone of the same realm is an extremely astonishing assessment. If this were to spread to the outside world, it would be an immense honor for Huang Quan.

However... Huang Quan didn't feel any honor at all. He only felt his own weakness.

"Is this considered mockery?" the boy asked quietly.

The man in black robes gave a bitter smile, gazed at Huang Quan for a long time, and then sighed in a hoarse voice, "With such potential, I find it hard to imagine who will be your match when you reach later levels of cultivation."

"So, you're finally going to kill me?"

"It's as if you predicted that girl's arrival and were preparing to eliminate the threat in advance?"

The man in black robes clasped his hands together, took a step back, and said with a guilty look in his eyes, "My actions were a last resort. I am willing to suffer this calamity and bear all the consequences. Naturally, I cannot break the rules and harbor any murderous intent towards you. If I do, all living beings will suffer because of me."

His words were profound and mysterious, yet Huang Quan understood what he meant.

"If you wish to hold a grudge, then hold a grudge against me alone. I only wish to do one last thing for the human race while I am still lucid."

Suddenly the man in black robes spoke again, but as he looked at Huang Quan, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes once more.

Suddenly, he pressed a certain mudra with his hand, and abruptly pointed a finger at Huang Quan's brow. Golden light burst forth from his body, and a sound like the echoing of all wonders appeared in the air.

"The four formless states are subject to the arising and ceasing of all phenomena."

With this gesture, the man in black robes intended to seal away the demonic thoughts, obsessions, and all sorts of ideas in Huang Quan's heart, and extinguish all illusions.

He would not kill Huang Quan, nor would he destroy his cultivation, but he planted the seed of meditation in him, leading him to enter the Buddhist order and restricting his ability to kill.

Because he knew very well that the flower of today would inevitably bear bitter fruit; if it did not die in the underworld, once it grew, it might cause endless trouble.

At the same time, Huang Quan also sensed a tremendous terror, as if it were about to illuminate all his thoughts.

"Om."

The Crimson Peak Sword trembled, forcibly awakening his mind and freeing him from that thought. The young man's mind was immediately brought back, and he looked at the man in black robes again.

But at this moment.

"You're asking for death!" came a crisp, angry shout.

The black-robed man's eyes trembled slightly, as the Devouring Heaven Barrier had been breached by some strange force. The girl suddenly rushed into the Devouring Heaven Barrier, raised her hand and patted the sachet at her waist. Suddenly, a golden talisman flew out, suppressing heaven and earth.

"Boom!" The heavens and earth seemed to be torn apart by light, and a terrifying purple lightning bolt burst forth with power exceeding the tenth realm, slamming fiercely towards the black-robed man.

Its majestic power is invincible and terrifying.

As she activated the talisman, Gu Qici's face turned visibly pale. However, an extremely cold Yin energy appeared around her, which was the terrifying power that supported her in forcibly maintaining the heavenly lightning.

As the lightning struck, on the other side, a deep, dark rift opened in space, and heavy pressure suddenly spread. Gu Qici, her face full of killing intent, looked at the black-robed man over there. The girl forcibly activated the protective trump card she had prepared for herself, and this time she directly summoned the imperial weapon that had accompanied her for a long time in her previous life.

"Om~"

The giant black halberd appeared, its killing intent surging and overwhelming, and its astonishing demonic power rolling out. Gu Qici was originally unable to operate the imperial weapon, but the moment the girl saw the black-robed man attack Huang Quan, she had no time to think about anything else and directly used her hidden trump card.

"The wind and snow raged through the long night."

Both being ancient inheritances and nearly lost top-tier divine abilities, Gu Qici used this technique to forcibly activate the divine weapon and sweep it towards the black-robed man.

With overwhelming combined attacks, they spared no effort in using their trump cards to save Huang Quan.

Finally, purple lightning coiled around the imperial weapon and struck down at the black-robed man. The ground cracked open, creating a huge fissure, and the Devouring Heaven Barrier was shaken. However, at that moment, a huge golden dharma image appeared where the lightning struck.

The colossal Buddha manifested, a true manifestation of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth. A single Buddha statue was like Heaven and Earth, completely crushing the demonic forms stirred up by the Yellow Springs.

This is the true power of the Emperor.

In that instant, a suffocating pressure spread, and the giant Dharma image gently struck out with its palm, instantly shattering the Emperor Weapon Technique that Gu Qici had forcibly manipulated!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then looked at the man in black robes with absolute astonishment.

She hadn't considered the black-robed man's cultivation level at all; she only knew that this guy dared to injure her senior brother and had to die. But now, this scene... a pseudo-emperor?!

Moreover, to be able to display such strength in this era, he must have been an unparalleled powerhouse in the world back then!

However, Gu Qici was not the only one who was shocked.

The man in black robes summoned a giant Dharma image, which withstood the attack. His gaze changed in the same way as he looked at Gu Qici with shock.

"The aura emanating from you, and the legacy of the Demonic Emperor Weapon..."

"Is this a coincidence, or...?"

The man in black robes murmured softly, but his calm heart was already churning with endless turmoil.

What she showed, and what it represented, was terrifying.

Such talent appears only once in a thousand years; it will surely be fought over by countless sects.

He had never heard of such a thing before.

Or rather, to know.

However, now, she also exudes the aura of 'that person,' even more intensely than Liu Xiyao's...

At such a young age, how can someone who has achieved so much be content to remain behind the scenes, watching other prodigies progress side by side without any emotion, while suppressing their restless heart?

If all of this is not a coincidence, then what is hidden behind it?

The man in black robes suddenly looked at Gu Qici over there and fell silent again.

"What a pity." After a long silence, he finally let out a soft sigh: "In the end, I had the advantage of my cultivation level today. Perhaps it is fate that allowed me to witness all of this."

Now that he's here, no matter what schemes are behind it, he won't let them succeed.

"Is that so?" But the next second, Huang Quan's voice rang out again.

Taking advantage of the opening created by Gu Qici, Huang Quan had completely shaken off the threat of the black-robed man, and the aura within his body had completely subsided at some point.

Gazing at the halberd deeply embedded in the ground not far away, the young man calmly strode towards it.

As he raised his hand to grab it, the aura of the Great Emperor erupted from Huang Quan's body.

Anran in his sea of ​​consciousness remained silent in the face of all the questions, only transmitting a power to Huang Quan that was not particularly 'powerful'.

Huang Quan shouldered the Emperor's Halberd and looked indifferently at the man in black robes: "In the end, I have the advantage of higher cultivation level."

"This is……"

Seeing Huang Quan shoulder that jet-black halberd, the man in black robes couldn't help but be moved.

"The aura of extraterrestrials?" His eyes widened in disbelief. This pair of senior and junior disciples had given him far too much shock in such a short time.

You should know that his current predicament was all due to a casual pointer he received from the 'outsider' back then.

Even casual pointers are well-intentioned.

However, his Dao heart was destroyed because the power was too great.

This caused this incredibly determined and powerful individual to become lost in the abyss of power, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

"I wonder which lord would be so accomplice to evil?" he murmured softly, his doubts deepening.

After all, the aura of an 'otherworldly being' emanating from Huang Quan was too pure, not like borrowing external force at all, but more like his own power. This made it difficult for the man in black robes to understand, and he couldn't figure out how Huang Quan managed to do it.

"Senior brother, what is this..." Gu Qici, who was originally startled because the black-robed man's cultivation was greatly impacted, couldn't help but stare blankly with her pink mouth wide open. The girl could also feel the power of the Yellow Spring's changes.

Now, Huang Quan's body is filled with a deep and mysterious aura. A crazy transformation is taking place within him. The spiritual power in his dantian has completely transformed into an incomprehensible 'qi'. The rise of his aura completely violates the rules of heaven and earth.

“Senior brother shouldn’t have come into contact with the ‘extraterrestrials’ at this time…” Gu Qici frowned slightly. However, the girl didn’t have time to think about how the boy had obtained such power. After realizing the terrifying strength of the black-robed man, even if Huang Quan used such power, it would be difficult to dispel Gu Qici’s worries.

Huang Quan directly stepped into the Emperor Realm, but the gap in magical techniques represented by the terrifying Dharma Image that the black-robed man had previously displayed was not so easily bridged.

Even if he only has one foot in the Transcendent Realm, he is still an existence that looks down on the world, which can be considered as the 'Emperor Realm', while Huang Quan has never come into contact with this kind of power.

He is more like a castle in the air, forcibly built up, which will collapse and shatter at the slightest carelessness.

It is highly likely that they will be defeated by the opponent's rich experience and more powerful spells.

Huang Quan was aware of Gu Qici's concerns.

So... he didn't use this trump card right away.

From the very beginning, Huang Quan knew that he was no match for the man in black robes.

On the surface, he was fighting to the death with the other party, but in reality, he was constantly calling for Anran.

The other party remained silent, repeating only one sentence throughout: "I can only offer you slightly more power than him; knowing too much will not benefit you."

However, during their exchange, he had anticipated that the man in black robes was indeed in very poor condition.

The invincible Dharma form from before, although it easily broke through Gu Qici's trump card, the black-robed man could hardly maintain it for long. This gave Huang Quan an opportunity, especially since he saw that the imperial weapon summoned by Gu Qici seemed to have a special 'damage bonus' against the black-robed man.

The girl couldn't use the imperial weapon, but with his power as the 'Great Emperor,' he might be able to force it into use.

When Gu Qici saw Huang Quan choose to pick up the Emperor Halberd, she understood the boy's thoughts. However, a sense of helplessness arose in the girl's heart. Her senior brother was still too impulsive... The Azure Emperor Halberd was not so easy to control, especially since she had not yet infused it with the boy's aura.

When Huang Quan picked up the Emperor's Halberd, his mind was filled with the boundless killing intent released by the halberd. Since he was not the master of the halberd, he was bound to suffer a backlash.

However, the powerful 'qi' within him instantly suppressed the influence of the imperial weapon to a minimum. Nevertheless, Huang Quan could still feel a sense of stagnation, clearly indicating that he could not wield the imperial weapon as he pleased since it did not belong to him.
