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

Of course, there were also some miscellaneous techniques involved. After all, there were too many people, and she certainly couldn't keep using her strongest attacks, because that would consume too much physical and spiritual energy. So she could only use all her spiritual energy, since this war that belonged to her had only just begun.

"Is this person... a lunatic?!" An ordinary disciple who was besieging Gu Qici couldn't help but think to himself after seeing how terrifying Gu Qici was. In fact, he wasn't the only one. Other elite disciples, and even some leader-level cultivators, had the same thought. Some of them had even turned their question into a statement.

A fierce aura emanated from her, instantly permeating the minds of everyone around her. This caused them to tremble and, for a moment, forget to attack.

Gu Qici's aura surged again, as if it had materialized, and everyone was forced to take a step back.

Gu Qici's goal was simple: to end the war, because that was the only way she could think of to save Shen Qian.

Once this war ends, Shen Lian can leave Huangmo Island, and once Shen Lian leaves Huangmo Island, Shen Qian will be saved.

At that time, she would have many ways to obtain the 'Demon Heaven Technique', such as recording the operation of Shen Lian's technique when he saves people, or finding a way to make Shen Qian believe that she and Shen Lian were 'comrades-in-arms in a previous life'.

So she came, even though she knew very well that she couldn't possibly defeat the thousands of troops in front of her by herself. But things had come to this point, and even if it was truly impossible, she would try her best.

If successful, the Demonic Heaven Technique is practically guaranteed; if it fails, there will be no regrets.

"Gu Qici directly activated his cultivation, which seemed to cause the heavens and earth to tremble. The people around him were once again pushed back several hundred meters. Whether they were cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm or ordinary disciples, none of them could do anything about him."

Just then, a voice as cold as ice suddenly came from afar.

"Cultivators below the Mountain and Sea Realm, retreat immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the senior disciples were initially taken aback, but then, as if they had received an inviolable command, they retreated in an orderly fashion within a few breaths, leaving the sky empty.

Looking again, only twelve people remained in the sky. Nine of them were at the Mountain and Sea Realm, and three were even stronger than Zhou You. They stood scattered in all directions, staring intently at the last person—Gu Qici.

Gu Qici also heard the voice, but she paid no attention to it, because the owner of the voice had not yet appeared, nor had it affected her. So whether she paid attention or not, it was of no use. In that instant, she formed a hand seal and, taking advantage of the sudden decrease in the number of people around her, summoned the Emperor Halberd.

In the next instant, an endless sea of ​​black fire appeared directly from above, and icy waves materialized behind her. More importantly, the stones and soil on the ground below also began to rise into the air, which Gu Qici controlled and put to her use.

In addition, there was the metallic sheen of the weapon in her hand.

At first glance, the sky was covered by the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, all gathered together, making people feel both frightened and splendid!

Suddenly, an endless sea of ​​fire rushed toward the three people to Gu Qici's left. Under the terrifying heat, as intense as the sun, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated, seemingly afraid to face the sea of ​​fire head-on!

Unfortunately, while they could dodge the sea of ​​fire, they couldn't escape the rain of arrows formed from the ice within it. In an instant, these ice arrows rained down from the sky like raindrops, fiercely attacking the three of them. With no other option, they could only do their best to defend themselves, but even so, they still suffered some injuries from the rain of arrows.

Then there were the six people to Gu Qici's right and behind. The moment those three were attacked, a surging wave rushed towards them. Just like the old man at the beginning, they had no time to react before they were swept down by a horizontal wave. They struggled in the waves and looked very disheveled.

Finally, under Gu Qici's control, the floating rocks and soil rushed towards the three people on Gu Qici's side. There were two women and one man. The women were one tall and one short, and the man was quite handsome. However, they were all wearing black robes.

The three of them were at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm, so Gu Qici did not ignore or underestimate them, and directly unleashed her strongest attack.

After the stones and dirt swirled in the sky for a while, they immediately split into three directions and rushed towards the three people. The three people naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. Moreover, they seemed to be very wary of Gu Qici. Before the dirt even got close, they each used their corresponding countermeasures.

The taller woman clasped her hands together, let out a delicate shout, and immediately channeled her profound energy, conjuring a pair of peacock-like wings behind her. She then decisively used these wings to envelop her body, using this method to block Gu Qici's earth-based attack.

Unfortunately, she failed because Gu Qici's attack was not an ordinary attack. It did not have any destructive power or impact. It only had a strong suction and binding force, which could also be called a seal. So when the first stone touched the woman, she had already lost.

In an instant, countless stones and dirt gathered frantically on the woman's body, which she could not cope with. The moment she realized it, her expression changed drastically, and her fear was obvious. She kept flapping the wings on her back, but it was to no avail, so her eyes seemed to show a faint despair.

In an instant, a mud ball about ten meters in diameter appeared in everyone's eyes. Without a doubt, the center of this mud ball was the tall woman, but she had been completely sealed and had lost the ability to continue fighting.

Upon seeing this, the remaining short woman and handsome man were both shocked. In fact, when they first met Gu Qici, they thought he was just an ordinary late-stage Nirvana cultivator, because their cultivation level was not high enough to reach that level.

Therefore, their opinions were neither too high nor too low. However, as the opponent's combat prowess gradually became apparent and he instantly killed so many cultivators, they reluctantly acknowledged that the opponent was stronger than themselves.

Chapter 137 Bald, Strong

Even so, they didn't think Gu Qici was terrifyingly strong. After all, the difference between each level in the later stages of cultivation was very large. So, with that as a premise, they didn't take Gu Qici too seriously.

It wasn't until that scene just now, where Gu Qici defeated several experts at the Mountain and Sea Realm in the blink of an eye, that they truly realized that this woman was absolutely invincible to them, and even resisting her would be extremely difficult.

"This man is no match for us! Let's go! Let the three elders fight him!" The man shouted as soon as the thought crossed his mind. Then he turned around without hesitation and tried to retreat back to the Imperial Demon Sect's camp. Not only him, but all the survivors did the same. They all began to flee desperately, having been terrified by Gu Qici.

Gu Qici didn't give chase. She knew that these guys were just appetizers, and the real main course was yet to come. For example, the guy who told all the ordinary disciples to retreat hadn't appeared yet, so it was necessary to conserve some strength.

Although Gu Qici's actions this time were somewhat thoughtless, she was not stupid. Even if she had to fight, she had to use her brain; otherwise, she would be no different from a brute.

"This is just the first wave; the real battle is only just beginning." He thought to himself as he tried to recover his depleted strength as quickly as possible.

But before she could rest for long, a figure slowly strode down from the horizon.

It was a man, dressed in black armor, exuding an imposing aura and possessing handsome features, but at a certain moment, he seemed out of place with his attire, giving off a somewhat strange feeling.

However, the moment Gu Qici saw him, her eyes narrowed and she subconsciously took a step back, because she clearly sensed that this person was not at the Mountain and Sea Realm, but a genuine Transcendent Realm expert.

But none of that mattered anymore. When this person appeared, Gu Qici felt a slight tension in her heart, but she was not afraid, nor did she have any real intention of backing down. She knew very well that she was no longer the same as before and did not need to look up to such an existence.

With this thought, a resolute look appeared in Gu Qici's eyes. With a surge of spiritual power, she resisted the aura of this person and stood firmly in the air, like a towering tree that no wind or rain could blow down.

On the other hand, seeing that Gu Qici was not intimidated by his aura, the bald man was also a little surprised. But at this moment, even though he was still far away from Gu Qici, he suddenly approached her in a single breath and a step, shortening the distance between them to about ten meters. This made Gu Qici's eyes flicker, her brows furrow, and a sense of caution immediately spread throughout her body.

At the same time, after carefully observing Gu Qici, the bald man asked directly, "Why did you trespass into my Demon Extermination Sect?"

"To stop this war," Gu Qici replied without hesitation.

But as soon as he said that, the bald man was taken aback for a moment, and then, as everyone expected, he laughed and said, "Hahaha! I don't know who you are, or who gave you the audacity to say such laughable things, but do you really think that you alone can stop this long-lasting war?"

Ignoring the bald man's mockery, Gu Qici paused for a moment before replying truthfully, "Of course not."

Upon hearing this, the bald man's eyes flickered, his mockery vanished, and he said with a hint of confusion, "Since you don't think so, then you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qici's expression hardened again, and she abruptly interrupted, "But sometimes, there are things that you can't do just because you don't think about them. Today... I'm determined to do this!"

"What?" Upon hearing Gu Qici's inexplicable words, the bald man's confusion deepened.

However, at this moment, Gu Qici did not want to talk any more. In the blink of an eye, her spiritual power circulated rapidly, and she immediately began to launch an attack.

"Hmph! I originally wanted to give you a way out because I thought your cultivation was not easy, but since you are courting death, I have no choice but to grant your wish!" Seeing that Gu Qici's battle was getting more intense, the bald elder's eyes flashed, his ruthlessness turned, and he said again.

As soon as he finished speaking, an aura that shook the sky suddenly emanated from his body and pressed down on Gu Qici.

Feeling this pressure, Gu Qici's red clothes and long hair danced, but even so, she did not feel that she could not resist it. On the contrary, because of this pressure, her eyes narrowed, as if she realized something.

"Early stage of the Transcendent Realm? Not bad." Gu Qici raised an eyebrow and subconsciously thought to herself.

A cultivator with lower cultivation level would absolutely not be able to discern the cultivation level of a cultivator with higher cultivation level based solely on their senses.

Or you may only see the level that the other party wants you to see.

Because cultivators have a sense of mystery and don't want to be spied on, they hide everything about themselves.

Therefore, in this situation, a cultivator only has two ways to know the strength of another cultivator: one is to have a higher cultivation level and use a stronger sense to forcibly probe, and the other is to judge by the other's aura.

Gu Qici used the second method at this moment, because she had seen far too many realms of perfection.

Therefore, she was no longer unfamiliar with the Transcendent Realm; in fact, she was somewhat familiar with it.

That's why she was able to accurately guess the other person's cultivation level from the bald man's aura. Even if there were some discrepancies, they wouldn't be too far off. This is the absoluteness of experience, the kind of experience that never goes wrong.

"We can fight, and we might even win!" Gu Qici thought to herself.

This is the conclusion reached after careful consideration.

At this moment, she was not intimidated by the bald man's imposing presence, but instead stared at him and continued to circulate her spiritual energy.

In silence, she took out the Emperor's Halberd, gripped it tightly in her hand, and heightened her vigilance. She knew this would be a fierce battle, and she knew she could not afford to lose; she had to give it her all and use every means to win.

"Oh? Not bad eyesight? Then let me see what you're capable of." With that, the bald man launched the first attack, but he didn't make many moves. He simply raised his left hand and pointed lightly in Gu Qici's direction!

However, after that finger gesture, a cracking sound rang out in the space above Gu Qici, and it began to collapse violently. In an instant, countless spatial fragments suddenly appeared, like shards of a mirror, and fell mercilessly and rapidly towards Gu Qici below.

"How can someone at this level use spatial attacks?" Gu Qici suddenly looked up, muttering to herself.

But she didn't do nothing. At this moment, she gritted her teeth and unleashed her long-accumulated spiritual power, which suddenly formed a wave of energy that rushed madly toward the spatial fragments above!

The shockwave was mixed with black heavenly fire. Fortunately, she never found an opportunity to give it to Jiang Wanyu, and later it was shelved due to some other matters.

When the heavenly fire appeared, it churned and rolled. During its impact, a violent high temperature seemed to spread, causing the surrounding space to begin to melt. So when it encountered those spatial fragments, those spatial fragments were not spared either, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into an invisible meltwater.

"Hmm?" Seeing that his first move was blocked by Gu Qici, the bald man suddenly showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly suppressed it and a faint smile appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. No wonder those people couldn't beat you. Are they the kind of geniuses who can easily fight across realms?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qici waved her right hand, causing the heatwave in the sky to disappear instantly. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that her face had turned pale, indicating that the heavenly fire she had just used was not easy to control.

"Take care of yourself first," Gu Qici replied, stabilizing her slightly unsteady breathing.

"Hahahaha! Is that so?" The bald man suddenly burst into laughter. "Then let me see! Just how much effort can you make me put in? Anyway, you better not be defeated by me right away! Otherwise, it won't be any fun."

"This is just the beginning." As she said this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Qici's eyes, and as soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed her spiritual power once more.

Gu Qici suddenly aimed at the bald man in front of her, causing the Emperor Halberd to shoot forward with a whoosh.

At this moment, the Emperor's Halberd was no longer black, but had turned into six colors. It carried Gu Qici's overwhelming power and went straight for the bald man. It seemed that even space was hissing under this attack, as if it was on the verge of collapse.

With this attack, Gu Qici was confident that she could instantly kill a cultivator in the early to mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, and was also confident that she could seriously injure a cultivator in the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

Indeed, that was the case. When he saw the Emperor's Halberd flying towards him, the bald elder frowned and immediately felt a sense of trouble. He could feel the terrifying power of the sword and knew that he could not possibly block it easily. However, the battle had only just begun, and if he used his full strength like this, it would be an insult to his status as a strongman. So... he made a decision.

"Hmph! Such a common attack, how can you show me what you're capable of!" The bald elder smirked and said disdainfully. As he spoke, he simply stretched out his right hand, palm facing forward, looking completely unconcerned.

In the next instant, the halberd struck his hand with the force of a piercing wind. But in that instant, something strange happened. He easily grasped the halberd, and what he held was not the hilt, but the tip of the halberd. Upon closer inspection, it was as if Gu Qici's attack had not caused him any harm at all, which was astonishing.

"Heh!" The bald elder sneered, then casually tossed the Emperor Halberd in his hand, which flew through the air a few times before returning to the hand of Gu Qici, who was frowning upon seeing this.

Meanwhile, the bald elder continued sarcastically, "The weapon is indeed a good weapon, but people are not. Although you are strong, it is not enough to hurt me. However, I think you still have some strength left to use, so I think you should use your strongest move!"

Otherwise, this level of enjoyment alone wouldn't be enough to satisfy me!

However, Gu Qici paid no attention to the bald elder's words. She just looked at the Emperor Halberd in her hand seriously, as if she had discovered something. An unknown smile appeared on her lips. This smile also fell into the eyes of the bald elder, which made his eyes narrow and his mind tremble. He seemed to have a strange feeling.

Then Gu Qici suddenly glanced at the bald elder and replied softly, "Is that so? But why do I feel that it's not time for me to use my strongest technique to deal with you yet? Or is this just my imagination?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing her words, the bald elder raised an eyebrow, seemingly a little uneasy, and even subconsciously put his left hand behind his back. But after all, he was a Transcendent Realm expert, so how could he be frightened by Gu Qici?

So the next moment, he chuckled naturally, "Hehehe! Alright! It seems I didn't put enough pressure on you, otherwise you wouldn't have said something like that..."

"Even so...then you shall die!" As soon as the bald elder finished speaking, a tremendous killing intent erupted from his body. Perhaps now that he was taking Gu Qici seriously, he stopped doing nothing and quickly moved his right hand to form a hand seal. Then he shouted, "Wuyou Mad Crocodile, appear!"

As he spoke, his body suddenly emitted a black light, clearly his demonic energy. Soon, this demonic energy rapidly concentrated directly above him, transforming into a giant black crocodile about a kilometer long.

To reach the Transformation Realm, one must comprehend the power of heaven and earth. This power is divided into the real and the illusory. Therefore, based on the different levels of comprehension, it is divided into the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Dao Transformation Realm. The spirit is real, while the Dao is illusory. The illusory is self-explanatory, while the real encompasses everything visible and audible between heaven and earth. Among these, the power of nature is easily comprehended, such as wind, water, fire, wood, and so on.

Therefore, it is quite common for cultivators at the Transcendent Realm to cultivate the power of nature.

However, the easier it is to comprehend the power of heaven and earth, the lower one's strength will be after reaching the Transformation Realm. Therefore, sometimes a strong person in the early stage of the Transformation Realm can defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of the Transformation Realm. The mystery behind this is too complex to explain in detail here.

This bald elder's comprehension was about the power of life, which can be understood as the enlightenment a cultivator seeks from a certain kind of creature. As for that creature, it was the Wuyou Kuang Crocodile he had just mentioned, a top-tier exotic beast rarely seen in the Imperial Demon Domain.

Biological power is also a relatively easy force of heaven and earth to comprehend, but natural power is gentler, while biological power is relatively more violent. So, in terms of pure strength, biological power is still a bit stronger.

However, because the power of heaven and earth that one comprehends will merge with one's own being and appear in an inseparable form, the body or soul of a cultivator will undergo some changes when comprehending it.

Similarly, this bald general also became more wild after revealing the phantom of the Nether Crocodile, which didn't quite match his delicate features. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he was bald.
