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

At this moment, the person inside finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression revealed a strong sense of malice: "Tch! Damn Ghost Lord, damn Heavenly Soul Clan power, once I complete this mission and return to my clan, I will definitely annihilate your Heavenly Soul Clan, leaving not a single blade of grass behind!!"

"Hmph!" Seeing that his attack had failed, the Ghost Lord's expression didn't change much. However, just as he was about to continue his pursuit, a figure that he and even the stranger had overlooked suddenly appeared above the cyan barrier. Its speed seemed to leave the two of them no time to sense or react...

So at that moment, he was shocked: "This...this speed..."

Suddenly, almost instinctively, he looked up at the spot where the figure had stood, but upon seeing it, his eyes narrowed sharply again…

There are people there!!

Two places, two identical figures...

For a fleeting moment, the Ghost Lord's thoughts paused. He had seen clones before, but he had never seen one that could be used without his notice after he activated his spiritual power, in a state equivalent to the late Nirvana Realm or even infinitely close to its peak, and right under his nose...

Unless the opponent's strength is far, far greater than his...

If not, then there is only one possibility left: the technique the other party cultivates gives their clone this effect. But if that's the case, then this technique is at least infinitely close to the ultimate level of spiritual techniques!

"Could it be... that's really the case?" Thinking of this, a strange greed suddenly appeared in the Ghost Lord's eyes.

For the Ghost Lord, even the Moon Technique used by Huang Quan before was merely something strange to him; at most, he considered it a high-level spiritual technique and had no other intention of taking it. But now, it's different...

Because a spiritual technique that is infinitely close to the ultimate level is enough to make any expert lose their mind, let alone the Ghost Lord whose mind is already somewhat unclear.

But he wasn't wrong; Huang Quan's clone technique was indeed a very powerful ultimate-level spiritual technique.

However, Huang Quan had not fully mastered this technique, so it had some flaws when used. For example, he could not control the duration of the clones very well. So after a while, Huang Quan, who was standing in place, slowly disappeared into this space.

There was no suspense; this technique was taught by the Han Dynasty, and it was called... Dividing the Heavenly Soul.

"Hmph! It seems this kid is hiding his true strength! But it doesn't matter, those treasures will always be mine!" The Ghost Lord licked his lips, his gaze towards Huang Quan revealing undisguised greed and ferocity.

However, the Ghost Lord did not notice that the black light that had been surrounding him had begun to penetrate his body and corrode his body. His meridians suddenly bulged, and under his emotional outburst, the blood on his body turned completely black, looking extremely terrifying and chilling to the bone!

At that moment, Huang Quan's senses above seemed to detect something, and he immediately looked down. The scene described above appeared before his eyes, which startled him.

At the same moment, their eyes met.

At that moment, Huang Quan seemed to understand something...

"I promise you..."

Having finished speaking, Huang Quan, wielding the Crimson Peak Sword, swooped down like a dazzling streak of light, his direction clearly aimed at the Ghost Lord's location...

When the wind stops, everything in the world will come to a standstill...

When the rain stops, the world, cleansed and refreshed, will return to its original state...

When human nature shifts from one state to another, he loses himself...

However, what is lost is only that person's own self; those things that existed in his destiny over time cannot be changed because of his personal self.

The Ghost Lord's greatsword is named Black Wheel. It has been with him for nearly four hundred years. The once ordinary blade has now acquired a trace of sentience...

But then, it began to wail…

Perhaps it is precisely because of the passage of time that, with the tempering of time, the people who accompany us are not as valuable as the things that accompany us... that the reluctance to part becomes all the more precious.

Just now, when the Ghost Lord was being corrupted by that strange force, Black Wheel used its limited spirituality to convey some information to Yellow Springs.

"I can hear your cries of despair..."

As Huang Quan plunged downwards, he remained calm, but at that moment, almost all of his strength was concentrated in the Crimson Peak Sword held in his left hand. Upon closer inspection, the intense fluctuations formed by that power flowed continuously around the blade!

As the Yellow Springs drew ever closer, the Ghost Lord's eyes turned bloodshot, his face completely covered by black veins, his ferocious appearance exuding an intense chill.

He grinned, his gaze fixed on Huang Quan, a strange excitement swirling within him: "Haha... Since you've come to me willingly, then... I'll grant your wish! The Four Symbols of Demonic Heaven!!"

With a roar, countless black rays burst forth from the Ghost Lord's body, and the enormous, strange aura instantly transformed into four enormous, ferocious beasts of different shapes.

Snakes, earthworms, eels, and pythons!

Although these creatures look very familiar, their aura gives people the feeling that they don't belong to this world!

"attack!!"

Without a word, the Ghost Lord instantly picked up the black wheel blade and, as if issuing a command, pointed the tip of the blade directly towards the Yellow Springs!

"Roar!!" At this moment, the four strange beasts seemed to have received a command, and suddenly roared towards the Yellow Springs one after another.

At this moment, although they were enormous, they still seemed to move with considerable ease within this not-so-large space...

All of this, though it may seem like a long story, is actually just a matter of a blink of an eye.

In less than a breath, the earth dragon was the first to arrive before Huang Quan.

The earth dragon's fierce gaze was already imprinted in Huang Quan's eyes, but Huang Quan's diving speed did not slow down in the slightest; on the contrary, it seemed to speed up slightly...

Seeing this, the Ghost Lord sneered: "Hmph, you can die here with your arrogance!! Demon Heavenly Dragon, devour him!!"

Upon receiving the Ghost Lord's order, the earth dragon suddenly opened its enormous, blood-red maw, as if it were about to devour the Yellow Springs completely.

But Huang Quan was not much frightened. He closed his eyes slightly and silently swung the Crimson Peak Sword in his hand at the giant mouth of the earth dragon without the slightest hesitation!

With this sword strike, a gray light that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and earth suddenly appeared, causing the ground to tremble and directly rushing towards the earth dragon!

In an instant, the earth dragon and the gray light clashed without any suspense. But how could this small earth dragon be a match for Huang Quan's serious attack? So in the blink of an eye, it was easily split in two and then quickly turned into countless black dust particles.

However, the Ghost Lord did not give up his other attacks. His eyes snapped open, his emotions even more excited than before: "I will kill you! Black snake, black eel, bite him to pieces!"

In mid-air, the snake and the long fish roared and their speed increased dramatically in an instant. As they approached the Yellow Springs, they turned left and right and suddenly attacked the Yellow Springs!

Huang Quan's expression did not change much. His figure was still the same as before, diving towards the Ghost Lord. However, his gaze was fixed on the black wheel blade in the Ghost Lord's hand.

At this moment, he once again wielded the Crimson Peak Sword.

"Night Sky...Moon Wheel!!" With a low shout, Huang Quan slowly raised his sword and slashed it fiercely at the sky. Instantly, as if some rule had been triggered, this space, which was originally snow-white, suddenly turned black within a radius of about 100 meters centered on him.

No, it should be said that night fell...

Moreover, the hundred-meter radius of this darkness also encompassed the range of those two strange beasts; at this moment, they were completely shrouded in the night…

Furthermore... the time within this area also seemed to lose its original operation for a moment, giving people an extremely slow feeling, making it appear as if the two strange beasts were moving with great difficulty when they were enveloped by it...

"This...this is...this is the power of rules that only a Transcendent Realm expert can control! How could you possibly have it?!" The Ghost Lord, seeing the night sky darken, couldn't help but show surprise. But he immediately reverted to his previous madness and greed: "Is it because of the technique? Is it your technique that gives you the power to temporarily control the power of rules? Good! Hahahaha! Good! What a wonderful technique!! I want it more and more!!"

But Huang Quan ignored the Ghost Lord's words. He merely frowned and murmured softly, "The moon rises in the night, yet there is no night... no moon..."

And the night seemed to be responding to his words, as a full moon slowly rose into the darkness!

Cold and gloomy—that's the only word that can describe this month!

Looking at the surrounding night and the two slow-moving beasts, Huang Quan pondered, "Is this the only way?"

"The Art of the Moon, I have my own understanding of it... Using the power of the real moon to kill the enemy may indeed unleash the strongest power of this technique, but it is not what I want..."

"I want to integrate it into my life and create a technique that belongs to me..."

Just as Huang Quan's thoughts were turning, the two strange beasts suddenly roared to the sky. In an instant, countless black rays appeared out of thin air around them and rushed into their bodies in the blink of an eye...

Suddenly, their originally irritable eyes suddenly blazed red, as if they had received some kind of replenishment, and their power increased by almost one to two times!

At this moment, they seemed to be able to temporarily ignore the interference of the power of the night moon. Their massive bodies suddenly thrashed wildly, and their eyes, fixed on Huang Quan, were filled with even greater rage...

They quickly charged towards Huang Quan in the simplest way possible, as if they were determined to tear him to pieces!

Huang Quan, holding the Crimson Peak Sword, casually drew a circle in the air.

In an instant, the moonlight shone with unparalleled brilliance, and the night itself became utterly dark...

The moon is the night, and the night gives birth to the moon.

Only the dancing bodies of the two beasts, when they were less than a meter away from the Yellow Springs, suddenly trembled, their expressions and movements rapidly freezing, and in an instant, they vanished like fossils.

But this strange scene did not end; the night, at its most intense, suddenly began to dissipate...

But at this very moment, the moon and the two strange beasts began to vanish along with the night, as if everything would be completely wiped out...

Unbeknownst to them, at that very moment, a powerful light suddenly burst forth from the black-bladed sword, causing the Ghost Lord's eyes to sting painfully.

"What's going on?" The sudden change immediately startled the Ghost Lord, leaving him blank in shock. By the time he recovered and was trying to come up with a solution, it was already too late.

At that moment, a greatsword pierced his heart!

"it's over!"

The Ghost Lord had no idea what had happened, because those were the last words he heard before he died...

The last of the strange beasts, which hadn't yet had a chance to attack Huang Quan, was perhaps the strongest of the four beasts—the dragon-python—and in the blink of an eye, it turned into specks of dust, just like the previous two beasts.

Perhaps due to his severe injuries and near-death experience, his mind became much clearer under the stimulus of death, and he finally recovered from his frenzied state.

Unfortunately, the price of this clarity is... a bit too heavy.

"Is that so? But why?" He chuckled self-deprecatingly, filled with confusion and regret, and after uttering this inexplicable question... he left.

At the same time, as the Ghost Lord died, the black light on his body gradually vanished into nothingness.

At this moment, Huang Quan also pulled the Crimson Peak Sword from the Ghost Lord's body and took his spatial bottle, but in the end, his gaze turned to the Black Wheel Blade once again.

But now, the Black Wheel Blade has lost all its spirit and has become nothing more than scrap metal...

"Your choice is very touching..."

"But I don't agree with the result."

Huang Quan has left!

Chapter 201 Adding insult to injury

A cyan barrier was rapidly flying towards the altar.

In just one breath, it entered the formation.

But at this moment, there is not only someone inside this barrier, but also someone above the barrier...

He was the one who resolved the Yellow Springs of the Ghost Lord.

"Sensing the arrival of the Yellow Springs, the man inside the barrier narrowed his eyes and slowly focused his gaze upwards."

Unlike the Ghost Lord, he did not launch an attack on Huang Quan; instead, a subtle sense of apprehension arose in his heart.

He had little interaction with Huang Quan and no conflicts with him, so from that perspective alone, there was no reason for them to fight.

However, after what just happened, he also had two wrong ideas about Huang Quan. The first was that he thought Huang Quan was like him, a powerful person who had hidden his cultivation. The second was that he thought Huang Quan had also been trapped in this tomb for several years and only recently found it.

However, there was one thing he was still unsure about: Huang Quan's purpose in coming here.
