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

"Oh? So you just want to compete with me in strength!" said the sect master of the Golden Profound Sect.

"That's not entirely true, because I believe that with your strength, you should be able to break the lock on the Underworld God!" Huang Quan added.

"Hehehe!" The Sect Master of Jinxuan Sect laughed, "But I think it's not bad to decide the outcome in this way. Let's see if you can't maintain the Netherworld God first, or if I can't hold on any longer!"

"I see! Then you must be careful, senior! The fourth stage of the Netherworld God!" As he spoke, Huang Quan's eyes flashed, and his profound power suddenly became stronger. This caused the diameter of the black hole in front of him to immediately expand by one meter, becoming about four meters. As a result of this change, its suction force also increased significantly.

Perhaps the force was too strong, because the sect master of the Golden Profound Sect was swaying precariously under the suction.

"Four stages of Netherworld God! Not enough!" Jin Xuanzong shouted solemnly.

Soon enough, even stronger power from the Perfected Transformation Realm was concentrated on his legs under his control, forcibly stabilizing his swaying body.

Huang Quan knew, of course, that the fourth level of the Netherworld God was not very useful to cultivators at the peak of the Transformation Realm. However, if he wanted to use a higher level of the Netherworld God, he had to start by stacking the lowest level of the Netherworld God.

Because with his current cultivation level, he is still a little short of being able to directly unleash the highest level of the Netherworld God Technique. Unless his cultivation level can be further improved, he can only honestly start from the lowest level and work his way up.

Of course, Huang Quan didn't care about this. The moment the sect leader of Jin Xuan Sect finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Then his aura intensified again, and with his Xuan power circulating rapidly, the diameter of the black hole expanded by about one meter.

With a deafening roar and a tremor in the space, the equally terrifying suction force once again enveloped the Golden Profound Sect Master, causing his resilient and unmoving body to barely move forward half a meter.

"Huh?!" The Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect was surprised and somewhat incredulous, but in the next instant, he calmed his mind, solemnly clasped his hands together, and shouted: "The earth is the foundation of all things, the earth does not move, I do not move!"

As soon as he uttered this sound, bursts of brown energy surged up from his body, swirling in the air before transforming into a huge, invisible stone. However, upon closer inspection, it resembled a massive piece of brown soil.

However, this clod of brown soil did not remain in the air for long before it fell heavily towards the direction of the Golden Profound Sect Master.

This brown soil was not meant to attack the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect. The Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect was not so foolish as to use his own technique to attack himself. This was merely a peculiar defensive technique of the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect.

The moment the person came into contact with the soil, the two quickly merged. The brown soil, like a membrane, completely enveloped the body of the Golden Profound Sect Master. Since this soil was an illusion and did not have a real substance, the Golden Profound Sect Master could still be seen from the outside inside the brown soil.

Strangely, at the very moment the soil protected the Golden Profound Sect, the sect leader seemed to be completely isolated from the suction force of the Underworld God, and was no longer affected by anything, which brought the battle situation back to square one.

"What is this?" Huang Quan murmured to himself as he saw the brown soil and the Golden Profound Sect Master inside it.

"Hehehe! In the ancient times of the True Profound Continent, the reputation of the Underworld Clan was known throughout the entire continent. So naturally, there were some people with ulterior motives who wanted to create secret techniques to counter the Underworld Clan's techniques. This Heaven and Earth Earth Technique is the strongest counter technique among them. Even the former Underworld Lord would have a headache when facing this technique." The Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect explained "kindly".

"The art of Heaven and Earth?" Huang Quan frowned, seemingly sensing a bit of trouble, but then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly said, "It seems you've made ample preparations for this battle!"

"I wouldn't call it preparation; I just don't want to lose," said the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect.

How could Huang Quan not see it? Since he could target the Underworld God, the difficulty of cultivating the Earth and Heaven Techniques must be no less than that of the Underworld God. This means that the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect already knew that he would fight him one day.

But the question is, how did the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect find out? In this True Profound Continent, besides the Tree of Time, who else can foresee what will happen in the future?

At this moment, Huang Quan was becoming increasingly interested in the person behind the Jin Xuan Sect Master. However, he also knew that since the other party had sent the Jin Xuan Sect Master to obstruct him, it proved that this person would not meet him easily. But this also proved that this person was in this ruin. Therefore, Huang Quan believed that he had a chance to meet this person.

"I'm sorry! I don't know who the person behind you is, but I feel... I must meet this person!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Quan increased his power again without hesitation, which also increased the power of the black hole, causing the diameter of the black hole to change again, from five meters to six meters!

The terrifying suction force erupted completely at this moment. Huang Quan was unable to concentrate the suction force on one point, so at the instant the six-meter black hole appeared, the previously unharmed gray grass had to leave the ground on which it depended for survival and became the black hole's "food" while floating in the air.

"Hmph! A sixth-stage Netherworld God? But what a pity! The Earth and Heaven Technique can still defend against it!" The Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect sneered, then roared madly amidst his ferocity. Perhaps affected by this, his body suddenly emitted a brown light, and the brown soil that was originally only the same height as the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect slowly increased in size.

At first glance, the height of the soil exceeded six meters, level with the black hole. It was like an immovable hill, standing firm against wind and rain.

Looking at the six-meter-high brown hill and the Golden Profound Sect Master in the center of it, he narrowed his eyes. He didn't speak, but silently strengthened the black hole again while gritting his teeth.

In an instant, the diameter of the black hole suddenly increased from six meters to seven meters, but the suction force at this moment could not be described as terrifying, because even the space around the black hole began to distort extremely violently, as if with just a little more force, it would shatter completely like glass.

It should be noted that this place is protected by some kind of force, and its spatial strength is definitely stronger than that of the True Profound Continent, yet it is still affected by this. This shows that the suction force of the black hole is so strong that it has reached an unimaginable level.

"I told you! It's not enough!" Sensing the suction force and the small hill swaying under its influence, the Golden Profound Sect Master's eyes narrowed rapidly. However, he showed no sign of giving up. In less than a breath, he once again intensified the Heaven and Earth Technique.

As before, the six-meter-high hill grew another meter, becoming seven meters high, directly corresponding to the seven-meter-high black hole. Thanks to this, the hill gradually stabilized and resisted the black hole's suction force.

However, at this moment, Huang Quan, as if he did not believe in evil, bared his teeth and grinned, and without thinking, used his evil energy to evolve the seventh-level Netherworld God into the eighth level in one go.

At this moment, the surrounding trees swayed under the unparalleled suction force, and the already distorted space was completely shattered, turning into countless fragments that were directly sucked into the black hole.

The Eight-Stage Underworld God is terrifyingly powerful!

Chapter 234 Reincarnation

"You add a level, I'll grow a meter taller. I will never lose this battle of willpower!!" The Golden Profound Sect Master roared, his veins bulging. And just as he said, as Huang Quan used the eighth level of the Netherworld God technique, he also increased the height of the hill to eight meters.

Like two women locked in a petty argument, neither willing to yield to the other, with no intention of deciding the outcome in any other way.

But Huang Quan didn't know that it wasn't that the Jin Xuan Sect Master didn't want to use other methods, but rather that the people behind him were restricting his fighting ability.

"It's alright! Nothing will happen! You have to wait for me! You must wait for me! I will definitely win! I might make sure nothing happens to you!" The Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect thought to himself, his anxiety growing.

……

Let's go back to a short time ago, to that secluded place.

"Huang Quan? Why? I remember... he wasn't..." The sect leader of Jin Xuan Sect said with great confusion, and not only him, but the young woman behind him also showed confusion.

But before the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect could speak, the mysterious man interrupted him somewhat impatiently, saying, "Understanding your own position is not something you can consider. You just need to listen to me."

The sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect was taken aback and fell silent for a while. He seemed to be considering something important and looked at the young woman beside him. For the first time, he was conflicted about the task assigned by the mysterious person.

As if sensing the Golden Profound Sect Master's unusual behavior, the mysterious man said again, "What? Are you going to disobey my orders?"

"No, no..." the Golden Profound Sect Master hurriedly denied, "I just... I just..."

"Just what?" the mysterious man asked in a cold voice.

Perhaps it was a great decision that made the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect twitch at the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "I just want to say, this mission... can I carry out this mission alone?"

"Father!" Upon hearing the words of the Golden Profound Sect Master, the young woman, who had remained silent until now, spoke for the first time, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Furthermore, seeing the mysterious person who was so resolute in the eyes of the Golden Profound Sect Master, a hint of doubt arose in her eyes. But as soon as she subconsciously focused her gaze on the young woman, she seemed to understand something. She smiled meaningfully and said, "No problem. Since you have said so, I will give you this opportunity and let you go alone."

However, before the Golden Profound Sect Master could even smile, the mysterious man abruptly changed his tone and immediately added, "But if you fail to complete the mission, or if you fail, then..."

At this point, the mysterious figure in the darkness suddenly stretched out a snow-white arm and pinched the young woman hard out of thin air.

With this squeeze, the young woman's delicate body suddenly trembled, and she let out a soft gasp. But soon, she was as if she had been completely imprisoned, unable to make a sound or move. Under the control of the mysterious person, her body slowly floated in the air.

Not only that, at this moment, the young woman seemed to be suffering some kind of inhuman torture, and immediately showed an extremely painful expression, and even her seven orifices were bleeding.

"Master! You!" The sect leader of Jinxuan Sect, who had finally come to his senses, opened his eyes wide upon seeing his daughter in this state, his heart filled with pain.

"No! No!! Please!" The sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect knelt down almost without hesitation and kowtowed several times to the mysterious man. His disheveled state was unmistakable, yet he still managed to maintain a semblance of the sect leader's demeanor.

"Hmph!" The mysterious man sneered and said, "Don't worry! Your daughter won't die for now. Killing your daughter would be meaningless to me. You should understand that I won't do anything pointless."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect was taken aback. He glanced at the young woman floating in the air before asking, "What does Master mean?"

"As I just said, I can let you go alone, but if you lose, I will make your daughter pay with her life," the mysterious man said softly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

But her words caused the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect to show a strong look of surprise: "Why?! This..."

"No reason why? You have to pay the price for disobeying me. Otherwise, wouldn't you take my words for granted? Besides, there's nothing to worry about. As long as you can come back safely, your daughter's life will naturally be safe and sound..." the mysterious man said calmly.

The sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect was speechless. He knew what the mysterious man meant and that the mysterious man would not easily change his mind. Therefore, he knew very well that whatever he said next would be of no use.

This left the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect quite helpless. He sighed and could only reply in a low voice, "Alright! In that case, I will certainly not disappoint you, Master."

"Hehehe! Very good! Then go!" the mysterious man replied.

However, the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect did not act immediately. After pausing for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he asked somewhat suddenly, "Wait! Master! I have another question... a very important question."

"Oh? What's the problem?" the mysterious man asked with a hint of interest.

"If I die in the Yellow Springs, or perish together with him, will you spare my daughter, Master?" the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect asked with utmost seriousness.

Upon hearing this question, which sounded more like a request, the mysterious man remained silent for a moment before softly saying, "No problem, I promise you, if you die, your daughter... will definitely live."

"Thank you!" The sect master of the Golden Profound Sect smiled and kowtowed to the mysterious man one last time.

……

The battle continues in the grey forest.

A powerful force roared incessantly, and the surrounding trees swirled between destruction and rebirth. Huang Quan had already elevated the Netherworld God to its strongest level, the ninth level.

Similarly, in order to resist the Ninth Stage Netherworld God, the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect also pushed the Heaven, Earth, and Soil Techniques to their limit, forming a nine-meter-high hill.

It is quite obvious that the two are evenly matched and it is difficult to determine a winner.

Ultimately, Huang Quan is not a true Heavenly Monarch cultivator. His profound power and true power are vastly different in both quantity and quality. Therefore, if things continue like this, even if Huang Quan has evil energy to replenish his power, he will surely be defeated.

This can be clearly seen from the fact that Huang Quan was already somewhat exhausted, while the sect leader of the Jin Xuan Sect was only a little tired.

"Hahaha! How helpless you are! You are going to lose!" The sect master of Jinxuan Sect laughed loudly, sensing that Huang Quan's situation was not good.

However, Huang Quan smiled wryly and calmly replied, "No! It's you who will lose!"

"Huh?" the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect exclaimed in surprise.

Unfortunately, what Huang Quan said... is about to come true.

A sword, a black sword, a sword that had been knocked away by the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect, appeared before Huang Quan and behind the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect after taking a very long detour!

It was the Crimson Peak Sword, and it charged towards the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect like a sharp arrow launched with all its might.

But this time, it possessed both evil energy and profound power. As a result, during its impact, the immense force caused space to shatter, creating numerous tiny void spaces.

Upon sensing the formula of the Crimson Peak Sword, the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect narrowed his eyes, his shock undisguised. He never expected that this sword would appear in this place at this moment, which made him momentarily stunned.

With his strength, he would have reacted immediately to such a sneak attack and even launched a counterattack. But he couldn't do that now because he had lost too much power in the battle with Huang Quan and simply didn't have time to deal with the sudden attack.

"I've been... tricked!" This thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the Golden Profound Sect Master.

However, this idea was not wrong at all. In fact, Huang Quan had devised this plan from the moment he met the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect. He could sense the power of the sect leader and knew that if he fought the sect leader head-on, even if he won, he would definitely be seriously injured.

But he can't expend that much energy right now, because he's still in this forest, because he hasn't found the ruins yet, and because the person behind the Golden Profound Sect Master hasn't shown up. So he can only win through scheming.

Before the two began their battle, Huang Quan poured most of his power into the Crimson Peak Sword, hoping to decide the outcome with a single strike. In order to ensure the success of his sneak attack, he decisively used one of his strongest secret techniques, the formidable Netherworld God, to distract the Golden Profound Sect Master.

He originally planned to use the Crimson Peak Sword to attack the Golden Profound Sect Master when he reached the sixth or seventh stage, because in his mind, that stage should be when the Golden Profound Sect Master's physical strength and true energy were both weak, which would be the best time for him to launch a sneak attack. Once successful, victory would be in his grasp.

But two unexpected things happened.

The first surprise was that the Sect Master of the Golden Profound Sect would use the Earth and Heaven Technique to counter the Underworld God, which forced him to temporarily change his original strategy and hold back the appearance of the Crimson Peak Sword.

The second surprise was that, despite his powerful attacks from the Ninth Stage Netherworld God, the Golden Profound Sect Master was able to hold out for so long, preventing him from finding a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

But despite the unexpected turn of events, Huang Quan eventually found an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. This opportunity was revealed by the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect himself, when he suddenly relaxed a little when he thought he was about to win.

This seemingly relaxed approach was somewhat strange and unclear, but Huang Quan did not let this opportunity pass. With a thought, the Crimson Peak Swords rushed forward, displaying unparalleled ruthlessness.

This sword marked the beginning of this battle, and it should also be the one that brought this battle to a close.

At this moment, the sect leader of the Golden Profound Sect revealed a faint, almost imperceptible smile, until the Crimson Peak Sword successfully pierced through the nine-meter hill, penetrated his back, and pierced his heart.
