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

The Devouring Emperor's expression trembled slightly. The existence of demons was a huge taboo for Buddhism... However, that taboo was also a huge scar for Buddhism in a sense, or rather, a shame that could not be mentioned.

He looked at Huang Quan with a complicated expression, and suddenly he understood why the 'Outer Man' had chosen him as his successor.

The more the Devouring Emperor thought this way, the deeper his brows furrowed, because he increasingly felt that things were developing in a direction he did not want to see.

The Devouring Emperor sighed softly, changed the subject, and said seriously, "Your Excellency, I have explained the reasoning to you very clearly. Perhaps we should not waste time on these irrelevant issues."

"Since you think it's irrelevant, then it's irrelevant."

"As for reason... I'm actually quite glad that I'm now in the Demonic Sect. What we Demonic Sect excel at most is being unreasonable." Huang Quan ignored the Devouring Emperor's gaze and continued.

"Even if you continue, you might die, so what?" The Devouring Emperor suddenly spoke, his tone cold.

Huang Quan's behavior, along with his stubbornness, inevitably stirred the Devouring Emperor's emotions. His tone became so serious for the first time, and even the Buddha statue he summoned... exuded immense majesty.

Huang Quan clearly sensed a murderous intent.

Moreover, that murderous intent, barely emerging, began to expand uncontrollably.

The Vajra's wrathful gaze is used to subdue the four demons, while the Bodhisattva's gentle brows are used to show compassion to the six realms of existence.

But what if the Buddha harbored murderous intent?

The Emperor Halberd in Huang Quan's hand trembled, and the terrifying killing intent drawn from the Nine Netherworlds was suppressed in an instant. However, the young man's face was expressionless as he calmly looked at the Devouring Emperor: "Of course I didn't want to die so soon. I haven't lived enough yet."

"They believe in me, and I believe in myself. That's enough." After Huang Quan finished speaking, he suddenly sneered and looked at the Devouring Emperor, saying in a low voice, "As expected, you, who can be lost in demonic arts... your Buddhist heart is not stable enough."

“Master… your Buddha has wavered.”

The Devouring Emperor's gaze changed. Almost the instant he realized he had murderous intent, a crack seemed to appear in his immaculate golden body.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Quan suddenly erupted. He hadn't just been wasting time with the Devouring Emperor…

Gu Qici's "Wind and Snow Through the Long Night" is not just a simple set of moves.

More importantly, it is the lifelong reflection of a great emperor.

This also broadened Huang Quan's horizons and taught him how to expose more of the Devouring Emperor's weaknesses.

The moment the Devouring Emperor wavered, Huang Quan's attack was already underway.

He raised one hand, and the Imperial Halberd flew towards the Devouring Emperor.

It was an ordinary throw, but in that instant, even the Devouring Emperor, who had summoned his enormous Dharma form, felt an immense threat.

The Emperor's Halberd dimmed for a moment.

"A true strike from an emperor..." The Devouring Emperor was deeply moved, but even in his shock, he still managed to respond.

The Buddha Vairocana forms the Vajradhatu Mudra, which is like a sword, with fingers pointing outwards, and in an instant, great light shines in the sky.

The two divine powers collided, and in that instant, ripples seemed to spread through the depths of space. In the center of the attack, the space itself seemed to twist and distort, the terrifying power as if it had pierced through space itself. With a deafening roar, it was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed.

The violent shockwave that was blown out burst forth in an instant, like a giant hand pressing down. Gu Qici had to activate all her defenses to resist the aftershocks of this power.

But even so.

Under that terrifying clash of forces, she felt as if she were a small boat caught in a vast ocean, facing imminent doom.

Just then, light shone again from mid-air, sheltering her behind it. This light, though equally magnificent, was not so ruthless and indifferent; it even made the girl feel warm.

"Immaculate Golden Body..." The Devouring Emperor blurted out, unable to maintain his composure as he gazed at the golden light emanating from Huang Quan's body.

If the demonic phantom that Huang Quan had previously displayed only moved him deeply, then learning about the top-tier protective divine power of Buddhism and Taoism was enough to shock him.

How did he activate this supernatural power?

Could it be that the 'extraterrestrial' transmission also imparted to him the Tathagata's Zen Sutra? Or other advanced Buddhist scriptures?

"If Buddha won't save me, I'll save myself."

"He's just someone who has mastered supernatural powers. Buddha? What a grand and impressive term."

The young man also activated his Immaculate Golden Body as a form of protection, eliminating all his worries. Then... without stopping, the Crimson Peak Sword followed the Emperor's Halberd, slashing together at the Devouring Emperor!

Suddenly, the void twisted, forming another enormous sword shadow! Continuous and terrifying magical power automatically formed that astonishing divine ability, its power enveloping everything like the sky, leaving nowhere to hide.

With a "snap".

The enormous Tathagata Dharma image summoned by the Devouring Emperor trembled violently, but at the critical moment, the Devouring Emperor also formed a great Dharma seal with his other hand.

"I see the Tathagata." His mind seemed to escape into the void, and lotus flowers bloomed all around him as he chanted the highest scriptures. Where the heavenly flowers fell, a golden lotus throne also appeared beneath him! The Devouring Emperor didn't even have time to be shocked that Huang Quan could continuously unleash this powerful divine ability, because Huang Quan's outburst this time truly posed a threat to him.

"Om!" A leisurely chanting sounded like a dragon's roar.

The enormous Buddha image had its hands crossed, one hand supporting the sky and the other covering the earth; this is the great mudra, a supernatural power in Buddhism.

Just as the Devouring Emperor launched a direct attack, Huang Quan actually activated his physical body to block it. The enormous Buddhist and Taoist divine power slammed down on Huang Quan, and the immaculate golden body in front of the boy immediately burst out with a heavy aura. All the attacks impacted his golden body, causing a trace of blood to spill from the corner of the boy's mouth, but... that was all.

At this level, he used the power of his golden body to almost withstand everything!

Even the Devouring Emperor's full-force attack could only injure him at most.

A hint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the Devouring Emperor once again, but at this moment, Huang Quan raised his hand again.

Suddenly, a dazzling fire burst forth in his hand.

The combined power suddenly merged together and landed on the huge Buddha image, unleashing the three supernatural powers.

A gash was pierced through the center of the invincible Dharma image's brow.

Then, the Emperor Halberd, which had been gathering power for a long time, swept down fiercely. With a loud bang, the entire huge Dharma Image exploded! In the burst of air, the Devouring Emperor was sent flying backward. The golden body that supported his body was instantly cracked with countless fissures. It was clear that he had been severely injured by Huang Quan's attack and could not suppress the original injuries on his body!

Your Excellency, number 122, you have lost the means to resist.

The Devouring Emperor crashed to the ground, but in just an instant, the enormous Dharma form behind him condensed once more!

The enormous Buddha image reopened its eyes, but this time, it was followed by rings of radiant light.

The terrifying power within those rings of light subsided, simultaneously stabilizing the Dharma form once more. The Devouring Emperor, his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy, sat cross-legged on the ground, coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth, his face turning deathly pale. Yet, the Devouring Emperor's solemn expression deepened.

Previously, he regarded Huang Quan as a junior, but now, he couldn't help but place him on the same level. However, his doubts deepened. With such power, could the 'outer beings' really interfere with this world so easily?

On the ground, Gu Qici was also deeply shocked.

The girl knew of Huang Quan's power, but she never imagined that... the boy could even rival a Great Emperor.

Huang Quan took another step, instantly covering hundreds of meters. His magical power surged, and his clothes fluttered in the fierce wind.

Although the Devouring Emperor regained his footing and even displayed more terrifying power, the boy still showed no fear.

Then, facing the enormous image of the Buddha, Huang Quan continued to raise his hand.

He wanted to see whether the power temporarily stored in his internal body would last longer, or whether the Dharma form of the Devouring Emperor could last longer!

As for whether it will cause him losses or any aftereffects.

At this point, there's no need to worry about these things; things will eventually recover, won't they?

At the same time, his golden body was raised to resist the divine power of the Devouring Emperor.

By combining various trump cards, Huang Quan is now terrifyingly powerful.

For someone as old as Huang Quan to challenge the tenth-ranked emperor on the Emperor Ranking, and even to the point of gaining the upper hand, is truly astonishing.

When the Devouring Emperor saw Huang Quan use the Emperor Halberd again, his eyes flickered slightly. As if he had thought of something, he lowered his gaze but did not look away. After the Dharma Form, a halo of merit shattered and suddenly swept out of his hand, emitting a divine light.

Huang Quan is indeed powerful due to his 'extraterrestrial' background, but ultimately it is still an external force.

True strength lies in believing that true power originates from within oneself.

The foundation of a Great Emperor cannot be judged by ordinary standards. The accumulation of the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor on the path to becoming a Great Emperor is obviously astonishing.

As the two attacks collided, the Devouring Emperor raised his hand again. As another halo of merit shattered, a Vajra Dharma Ring formed in his palm and struck out with astonishing speed, instantly crashing into the golden body summoned by Huang Quan.

With a "click".

The next second, Huang Quan's eyes flashed, and the first divine power golden body that was blocking in front of him was shattered by the Vajra Dharma Ring!

However, the boy did not hesitate and re-established a golden body on him.

With a loud bang, the Vajra Dharma Ring finally exhausted all its power after crashing into the second golden body.

As a former Buddhist giant, the Devouring Emperor naturally possessed profound knowledge of all Buddhist supernatural powers. Although he was shocked by the golden body supernatural power used by Huang Quan, he also knew how to counter it.

While resisting the attack of the Devouring Emperor, Huang Quan was equally unwilling to be outdone, and once again thrust the Crimson Peak Sword at the Devouring Emperor's Dharma Image.

This time, with a thought, he directly pressed down on the Emperor's Halberd that was reflecting back.

"The Gate of No Delusion in Life and Death"

This supernatural power is the most 'subtle' killing move in "The Long Night of Wind and Snow," and it can be said to be both the strongest and the weakest.

This halberd cleaved not the flesh, but the rules and order of life and death.

However, the stronger the vitality of the target, the lower the probability of success.

Generally speaking, it has almost no effect on 'Great Emperor' level experts.

Now that he's using this move, he's not only relying on luck... but also on strength, and he's suppressing the Devouring Emperor to his weakest state, which might maximize the probability of this strike ending life or death.

This divine power has now become Huang Quan's trump card. He realizes that this may be the best opportunity to deal with the Devouring Emperor.

The Devouring Emperor was slightly taken aback. His divine sense had already sensed something when Huang Quan activated the Emperor Halberd.

Even so, it was ultimately no match for that one strike.

A cold light emerged from nothingness, its aura ethereal, and circled around the head of the Devouring Emperor.

"Crack!" The next moment. The Devouring Emperor froze on the spot. His Tathagata Dharma form, which had just been raised in a divine posture, completely stopped, and then... crumbled little by little.

"Looks like my luck has been pretty good?"

The Devouring Emperor's aura subsided, and Huang Quan suddenly exhaled a long breath.

He knew that the lethal effect of the 'Gate of Life and Death' had been successfully triggered, and after fighting until now, he had been forced by the Devouring Emperor to use almost all of his trump cards.

"The tenth on the Emperor Ranking possesses such combat power... and he's even in a state of 'self-inflicted wound'." Huang Quan thought to himself silently. He didn't feel much ease in dealing with the Devouring Emperor; instead, he felt his heart growing heavier.

Moreover, recalling what the Devouring Emperor said now suddenly... reminded Huang Quan of some things.

After that, some dark force was always closing in on him from behind the scenes.

However, the appearance of the Devouring Emperor and the words he spoke inevitably alerted Huang Quan.

However, the boy didn't have time to think about these things carefully.
