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

Because at that moment, behind him... a girl's trembling voice slowly rang out: "Senior brother..."

The joy that had welled up in Gu Qici's eyes when she saw Huang Quan kill the Devouring Emperor gradually shattered and was replaced by a feeling of fear or even anger.

Almost as soon as the girl spoke, Huang Quan also sensed something, silently raising his head to look at the withered, dead corpse of the Devouring Emperor.

The 'Gate of Life and Death' is triggered by death, and the Devouring Emperor should have severed all life force.

However, the aura of the Devouring Emperor, who had been directly killed, actually revived from within his body.

Then, his chest heaved as he began to breathe, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Although his face was still deathly pale, the Devouring Emperor's eyes regained their luster.

"May Buddha have mercy." The Devouring Emperor spoke in a hoarse voice, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Your Excellency... has truly shocked me in many ways."

The Devouring Emperor whispered that although he had "come back to life," the lingering effect of his previous halberd strike still left a mark of fear in his mind.

Huang Quan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the Devouring Emperor with some confusion. Even Huang Quan himself was puzzled as to what had gone wrong.

He thought about what had just happened, and the boy was certain that he had done everything he could to the best of his ability.

The 'Gate of Life and Death Without Regret' struck the Devouring Emperor precisely.

Or is it that the power of the Devouring Emperor even transcends the scope that 'rules' can influence?

That lethal effect is ineffective against such a being?

"The technique used in that halberd strike just now was somewhat beyond my comprehension... It directly slashed at the true spirit, leaving no room for defense."

Seeing Huang Quan's expression, the Devouring Emperor roughly guessed the boy's confusion. He paused, then said with a wry smile, "If I hadn't already died, I would have been killed by this halberd in that state."

“Long gone…” Huang Quan murmured softly.

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art?" Gu Qici suddenly said, the girl looking at the Devouring Heaven Emperor with shock and anger.

The Devouring Emperor glanced at Gu Qici and said softly, "I didn't expect that you would know about my extraordinary encounter."

"However... your guess is indeed correct."

The Devouring Emperor lowered his gaze slightly.

He reformed his golden body, which was now shattered and riddled with fatal wounds; with such injuries, he should have died long ago.

However, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art can devour everything in the world to gain even greater power.

Then, he did something crazy.

Devour your own true spirit, devour your last obsession.

Even under such trauma, he found Liu Xiyao.

This is why his injuries never healed along the way; after all, for someone who was destined to die, whether or not his injuries could be repaired was of no consequence.

The "Gate of Life and Death Without Regret" activated by Huang Quan has the effect of severing his true spirit, but since his true spirit has already passed away, how could he be killed?

"I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty."

"This is the true meaning of the Buddhist immortal Zen." The Devouring Emperor said quietly, "I am the same; as long as my obsession remains, this body will not perish."

"My true self... died long ago. What I am now is nothing more than the obsession with dragging this broken body through life."

"So, Your Excellency should understand now. The way to make me die is actually quite simple." The Devouring Emperor's face was filled with pity: "That is to hand these two over to me. Once I have lost my obsession, all cause and effect will end on its own."

"A mutilated corpse dares to claim it's indestructible?" Huang Quan said indifferently.

At the same time, Huang Quan's aura erupted once again.

The Devouring Emperor's actions were indeed beyond his expectations. Using this method to avoid the immediate death of the 'Gate of Life and Death' was something he had never heard of before.

He also didn't believe that the Devouring Emperor's immortality was truly immortal.

Since the Devouring Emperor was not killed, it was not because he resisted the deadly power with his overwhelming power, so he still has a chance.

"If I can't kill you the first time, I'll kill you a second time."

"Your obsession will eventually be worn away," Huang Quan said indifferently, as if talking to himself, thoroughly understanding his own thoughts.

He felt the power within his body, which could last for about half an hour.

Not much time has passed since the start of the battle with the Devouring Emperor, and there is still enough time for him to wear down the enemy.

Moreover, he had actually prepared himself mentally. No matter what, this guy was once one of the top ten people in this world.

When Huang Quan was lucky enough to trigger an instant death, he actually felt that it went incredibly smoothly.

The resurgence of the Devouring Emperor is nothing more than bringing everything back to the battle we just fought.

"Your persistence is admirable, but also too tragic." The Devouring Emperor did not look at the menacing Yellow Springs, but simply sighed and closed his eyes.

Then, the Devouring Emperor gently lifted his palm and pressed it towards the Yellow Springs. His golden body, its wounds seemingly healed again, and the illusory image of his Dharma form, once again solidified, unleashed the aura of the Great Emperor realm.

In the previous battles, the Devouring Emperor was not always on the defensive.

Moreover... after such a long period of confrontation, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

The Devouring Emperor, who possesses the supreme clairvoyance of Buddhism, can see many things.

Faced with Huang Quan in this special state, the Devouring Emperor was not helpless.

Therefore, this supernatural power was not an attack specifically targeting the Yellow Springs.

Rather, it's about time.

As the Devouring Emperor clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, Huang Quan's divine power suddenly erupted.

Huang Quan unleashed his final attack, preparing to pierce through the Devouring Emperor's body and shatter his head while he was at his weakest.

He wanted to see if the Devouring Emperor's 'obsession' could survive such injuries.

But looking at the closed eyes of the Devouring Emperor, Huang Quan felt a strange unease.

"There are ten directions and three streams, and all sentient beings weave together illusions."

At the same time, the Devouring Emperor softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.

The Devouring Emperor raised his palm, and the golden Dharma image behind him seemed to radiate endless Buddhist light.

However, when Huang Quan looked at it, he saw that the Dharma image was like three phantoms superimposed together.

Even the Devouring Emperor, shrouded in his cold light, seemed to have three bodies, like three incarnations merged into one.

However, the blurry image only appeared for a moment. Immediately afterwards, Huang Quan saw a blurry Buddha statue among the layers of Dharma images, pressing down on him with a hand seal that covered the sky.

The Buddha statue easily pierced through the immaculate golden body erected by Huang Quan. It seemed that he did not exist in this space-time, so the attack could not be blocked, and the hand seal he pressed down did not have any terrifying power. However, at the moment the hand seal shattered... the powerful aura on Huang Quan's body poured out wildly like a punctured balloon.

Huang Quan's realm plummeted instantly, and his extraordinary 'rules' returned to their original state of spiritual power.

The cold light that the young man had pointed out suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his gaze turned to the Devouring Emperor with a deep and mysterious look.

"Sure enough."

"The power within you, Your Excellency, is ultimately limited in its duration." The Devouring Emperor reopened his eyes, calmly looking at Huang Quan, whose realm had fallen, and spoke softly: "By connecting the past, present, and future through the three streams of numbers and linking them with the Three Buddha Bodies, I can break the power within you that has been retained due to time."

"If you still cannot understand, you can also consider it as... that moment, I allowed you to experience more time, so the power you relied on disappeared completely due to that excessive time loss." The Devouring Emperor's gaze was calm, yet it gave people a suffocating pressure.

At first, he may have been shocked by the power that Huang Quan unleashed, but as they continued to fight, the Devouring Emperor made various deductions and came up with such a way to deal with it.

This supernatural power is also often used by Buddhist sects to deal with cultivators who possess explosive secret techniques, and it is also the nemesis of similar secret techniques.

Although it is unknown why Huang Quan used this strange power, it did not seem to require any price to pay.

However... these things are no longer important to the current Devouring Emperor.

The important thing is that, having lost that power to rely on, Huang Quan has completely lost the means to fight against him.

Let's assume he won this round.

Although it's a case of the big bullying the small, the victory isn't exactly honorable.

Chapter 123 Let's see who dares to stop me

He didn't say these words to show off how clever his methods were.

More importantly, it made Huang Quan realize that even if he could still use similar power, it would be futile in front of him.

It's better to just give up the struggle.

"This is the Emperor's method; it cannot be understood by ordinary standards."

When Huang Quan felt the power applied to his body dissipate, a glint flashed in his eyes for a moment.

Despite being well-prepared, the sudden turn of events still dealt a significant blow to Huang Quan's mind.

This is his enemy in this world.

Huang Quan felt he had been cautious enough, and he had considered staying hidden until he reached an invincible level like that of an emperor before venturing out.

But how much confidence does having an "external cheat" give you?

This made him subconsciously believe that as long as he didn't deliberately provoke any 'taboos', he would be invincible.

But... so what? They still couldn't withstand such a person, who directly blocked the entrance to the newbie village.

They've prepared enough, with so many trump cards, yet none of them can stand against this kind of being.

So, should we despair?

Are you going to watch him take Liu Xiyao and Gu Qici away?

Huang Quan was unwilling to think about these things and found it difficult to accept them, so at this moment, his body had already reacted.

The words have already been spoken.

"I haven't fallen yet, why should I give up?"

Now that the power Anran exerted on him has been broken, does he have no other means?

A flash of dark light appeared, and a black sword materialized in the boy's hand, with three sword lights rotating within it.

This is his own sword.

Although it certainly cannot compare to divine artifacts and the like.

However, since it was brought by a holy son from a sacred place, its quality would naturally not be much worse.

Most importantly, it's easy to use, and... easier to detonate.
