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

"It looks like I'm going to win this game." With that, the old man placed another chess piece, pressing closer to Huang Quan.

However, the moment the white piece was placed, a colorless light immediately enveloped the two of them. This light did not have much effect; to outsiders, it simply appeared that they were still playing chess in the same spot.

Although the two were indeed playing chess, their consciousness was in another dimension!

Huang Quan naturally noticed something, but his expression remained unchanged. Not long after the game started, during the opponent's attack, he noticed something. It was a bit strange at first, but now, after combining all the past events, he suddenly discovered a point, a starting point.

At this moment, he looked at the old man, then took out a chess piece, held it in his hand, and asked, "What do you want with me?"

“His name appeared in my memory… This is a sign that he is about to appear.”

"His name?"

"Yes, then... do you want to know?" the old man suddenly asked.

"Is this why you went to the trouble of transforming into human form to find me today?" Huang Quan frowned slightly and suddenly asked.

"Yes," the old man nodded without arguing.

"Do you think something is wrong?" Huang Quan asked again.

"I don't know, but I always have this feeling that I absolutely must see you," the old man said.

"Is it because of that person?" Huang Quan asked repeatedly.

"Perhaps! Because I have some kind of unseen connection with him, I sensed that once he breaks the seal and appears, something unexpected will happen, and I'm certain that this matter... is related to you," the old man said.

"You mean, I should try to avoid seeing him?" Huang Quan asked, understanding.

"No, not really! It's just that I feel like you've seen him before, and if you see him again, you'll be influenced by him," the old man said.

"You've seen him? You mean my past life? If so, it's quite possible."

"No! It's not your past life, it's you!"

"Me?" Huang Quan asked in disbelief, "Impossible. He's been sealed away for so long, how could I have seen him?"

"Who knows? But even so, I feel that it's best not to meet him unless absolutely necessary," the old man said earnestly.

"Don't we meet? That's a bit difficult. After all, given my current position, if his seal is broken, I will definitely have some contact with him," Huang Quan said with some trouble.

“I know, so let’s get ready!” the old man said.

"Hmm." Huang Quan nodded, but at that moment, he seemed to remember something else. His gaze sharpened, and he suddenly asked, "So, what is your purpose in playing chess with me this time?"

"Haha, no! I just wanted to play chess," the old man said with a laugh.

As soon as these words were spoken, the consciousness of the two left this space and returned to the chessboard.

At this moment, Huang Quan had no chance to turn the tide. He shook his head, sighed, slowly got up, bowed to the old man, and prepared to leave.

The old man and Jue Yi remained silent, only watching Huang Quan's retreating figure until it disappeared without a trace.

……

After leaving the old man and Jueyi, Huang Quan did not plan to return to Huangmo Island immediately. He wanted to go to the Endless Wasteland and the Desolate Region.

After all, he is the Lord of True Profound Realm. No matter what, he needs to understand the strength of the Yellow Clan and see where the gap between the two sides lies.

A flash of rainbow light appeared in the sky, and in less than an hour, Huang Quan left the Imperial Demon Domain.

The place where he met the old man was a space that Jue Yi had built himself, and after leaving it, Huang Quan would still return to the Imperial Demon Realm.

He quickly crossed the Heavenly Profound Realm and arrived directly above the Sea of ​​One Line Sky.

This was his second time visiting this narrow gorge; the last time was when he was escaping with Liu Xin, but this time, he came of his own volition.

"Is this what was destined in the dark?" Huang Quan murmured with a sense of emotion as he flew through the air.

But in that instant, the heavens and earth trembled, space suddenly distorted, and an invisible barrier descended from the sky with a speed that even Huang Quan could not dodge.

It's like a giant, upside-down bowl, or a trap that's been set up long ago, forcing its chosen prey to fall into it.

"What?!" Huang Quan frowned, slightly startled, but it was too late to react.

In the blink of an eye, this barrier, with a diameter of about 10,000 meters, completely enveloped Huang Quan.

Huang Quan looked at the barrier, his gaze gradually turning cold, because he knew very well that the only person capable of setting such a trap in this place was his enemy.

That is……

"Come out! You lowly scoundrels of the Huang Clan!!" Huang Quan roared, his powerful aura surging towards the surrounding barrier as if he wanted to break through it.

Unfortunately, the barrier did not achieve its goal after being impacted; instead, it remained intact.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"It's no use! This barrier was created by several cultivators at the late stage of the Transformation Realm or above from my Huang Clan. Even if you are at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, you cannot break this barrier..." As he spoke, a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloud-patterned Taoist robe slowly appeared before Huang Quan.

"And don't even think about anyone discovering this barrier. This barrier is completely isolated from the outside world. Even the Tree of Time couldn't sense it..."

"So, young one! Today is your death day, and the one who will take your life is none other than Daoist Qingyun! Obey and accept your fate..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Huang Quan, who was too lazy to listen any longer, interrupted him without hesitation.

"Shut up and chatter! So annoying!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Quan's eyes lit up. He secretly circulated his cultivation and suddenly appeared in front of Qingyun Daoist. Then, he stretched out his left hand, and a powerful cold aura gathered. He pointed at Huang Quan fiercely!

This finger strike was extremely abrupt, completely catching Qingyun Daoist off guard. The freezing sensation on the finger even made him instantly aware of a life-or-death situation. However, even so, with his perfected Transformation Realm cultivation, he was not entirely unable to react.

In an instant, Qingyun Daoist's cold eyes flickered, a hint of disdain flashing across his face. He then raised his right hand in a flash, concentrated his cultivation, and released his true energy rapidly. He then struck out with a palm, making a fierce contact with Huang Quan's left hand, which was devoid of any fancy moves!

With a deafening boom, space shattered, and the two forces seemed to transform into endless aftershocks that spread outwards, causing the surrounding environment to darken slightly.

Huang Quan bit her lip slightly and took a half step back amidst the aftershocks. Qingyun Daoist also took a half step back, but Qingyun Daoist's half step back was slightly wider than Huang Quan's.

Indeed, once everything had stabilized, Daoist Qingyun looked at Huang Quan, frowned, and seemed somewhat surprised in his silence.

"The True Mystery Lord of the True Mystery Continent is the bond that unites the people of the True Mystery Continent. Without him, they would be scattered like a pile of sand. The True Mystery Lord is the unifying force of the people of the True Mystery Continent. Therefore, if my Huang Clan wants to conquer the True Mystery Continent, we must first eliminate this junior..."

"I thought this True Profound Lord's reputation was greater than his actual strength, but I didn't expect this junior to actually have some ability..." Qingyun Daoist thought to himself.

But while he could think to himself, Huang Quan wouldn't give up so easily, since the other party had come to kill him.

With a glint in his eyes, Huang Quan waved his left hand again, and without saying a word, he took the Crimson Peak Sword in his hand. Then, he directly slashed at Qingyun Daoist with all his might!

With this strike, the space roared, and an ice and snow giant materialized from behind Huang Quan. As if mirroring Huang Quan's movements, it also drew a giant ice and snow sword from nothingness and slashed straight at Qingyun Daoist!

The sword's movement was so powerful that it seemed to destroy the heavens and earth in an instant, as if even the entire world could not withstand the attack, leaving everyone utterly horrified!

As Qingyun Daoist stared at the white giant and felt the power contained within the giant ice sword, he merely sneered: "Hmph, how can such power compete with me?!"

"The heavens and earth are abruptly shrouded in clouds, and all things vanish without a trace! Approach!" As he spoke, Daoist Qingyun formed hand seals. As he did so, countless white clouds in the sky began to rapidly converge. In less than a breath, they transformed into a white wall about ten meters high and five meters thick, which stood in front of the giant sword.

As expected, Huang Quan's attack would not be withdrawn because of this obstacle, nor would Qingyun Daoist withdraw his defense because of this attack, so the giant ice and snow sword directly hit the white wall!

However, this time, there was no sound. The moment the giant ice sword touched the white wall, it seemed to sink into a swamp, gradually losing all its strength and becoming weak and powerless. It could only cut in less than a foot before it could no longer cause any damage!

"Hmm?" Huang Quan raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, seemingly somewhat surprised.

"Hehehe! Don't be surprised. The defense formed by my understanding of the clouds can almost block the attacks of everything in the world. Your attack was able to penetrate more than ten feet, which is already quite remarkable. However..." The corner of Qingyun Daoist's mouth slowly raised a smile, and he said coldly, "It ends here!"

"Cloudfall!" With that, Daoist Qingyun changed his hand seals again, but this time, he was no longer on the defensive, but instead launched an offensive.

Then, white clouds rose again in the sky. In addition to the white wall used for defense, Qingyun Daoist manipulated the remaining white clouds to transform them into five sharp arrows, five large swords, five pointed spears, five giant rocks, and finally five white clouds!

"Junior, be content! You can be proud to have fallen into my hands!" With that, Qingyun Daoist, his face contorted with rage, casually raised his right hand, and in an instant, the five sharp arrows at the front, spinning, pierced through the air towards the Yellow Springs!

But this was not an attack. Immediately afterwards, the five broadswords and five spears flew in one after another, while the five boulders smashed down on Huang Quan from above. However, the last five white clouds remained motionless!

Of course, Huang Quan had no interest in the last five white clouds. His expression tightened, his eyes narrowed, and with a muffled groan, he actually poured all the cold energy in his body into the ice giant behind him!

In an instant, the ice giant's cold eyes flashed with a lifelike quality, and perhaps under Huang Quan's active control, his figure leaped forward, directly using his massive body to block Huang Quan's path!

Huang Quan remained unfazed.

Qingyun Daoist unleashed his killing intent.

In the blink of an eye, the five sharp arrows, carrying the power to pierce through everything, stirred the power of heaven and earth, and were already close to the ice giant!

Seeing this, the ice giant roared to the sky, its momentum increasing rather than decreasing. It stretched out its large left hand and, amidst the spreading endless cold air, struck forward with a powerful palm strike!

With this palm strike, the heavens and earth trembled. Although Huang Quan remained unmoved, his immense power, comparable to that of an Ascended Being, was revealed on the Ice Giant.

In an instant, the ice giant's left hand made intimate contact with the five arrows.

The sky was filled with continuous rumbling. In the midst of the confrontation between the five arrows and the ice giant, three of them collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the remaining two were also teetering on the brink of collapse. The ice giant itself, however, seemed to have only retreated three steps with Huang Quan!

"What a strong kid..." At this moment, Qingyun Shangren, who felt that the ice giant had not been greatly harmed, gradually became more surprised. He even unconsciously stopped underestimating Huang Quan.

But the five arrows were only the first attack; subsequent attacks were still possible.

In the instant that the last two arrows were about to collapse, the five large swords that followed the arrows arrived in front of the ice giant as expected.

In an instant, the five greatswords seemed to shatter the void, each carrying a sharp white light, and struck the ice giant's left hand, which it used to defend against the arrows!

As expected of someone at the peak of the Transformation Realm, the power used in this strike was unparalleled. Although the Ice Giant was powerful, it still seemed unable to resist. With five consecutive sounds of the blade, its entire left arm immediately turned into five pieces of ice stone, which scattered into the sky with a rumble.

This move caused Huang Quan to grunt, a bloodshot glint in his eyes, and he took several steps back. Judging from his appearance, it seemed as if he was deliberately using his full strength, making the fight extremely difficult.

Fortunately, after shattering the Ice Giant's left arm, the five greatswords had little power left and vanished in an instant. However, Qingyun Daoist's attack ended, and after the five greatswords disappeared, Huang Quan immediately felt the power of the five spears that followed.

"Troublesome!" Huang Quan thought to himself, but he still continued to control the ice giant to meet the enemy.

Qingyun Daoist sneered and suddenly clasped his hands together. At that moment, the boulder above the spear seemed to fall from the sky faster, and even produced a few wisps of white flame. According to this situation, the five spears and five boulders should fall on the ice giant at the same time!

"You think you can kill me in one fell swoop? How could it be so easy!" Huang Quan's coldness shifted slightly, his gaze narrowed, then he formed a hand seal with his left hand and murmured softly, "Black Annihilation Sun, rise!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the space resounded again, and a black sphere, like the sun, appeared above the ice giant without warning. However, this time, Huang Quan did not let it explode immediately as before. Instead, while blocking its path, it directly enveloped the five boulders, forcing them to pass through the black sphere if they wanted to approach Huang Quan and the ice giant.

As a result, the descent speed of the five boulders slowed down slightly.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Huang Quan changed his hand seals again, his eyes shone brighter, and he spoke again: "Azure Moon Technique, turn!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a black light instantly filled the entire sky, and a blue moon followed. With the combination of the two, a powerful binding force immediately appeared on the five spears that had attacked first!

Suddenly, despite the support of Qingyun Daoist's cultivation, Huang Quan's supernatural powers and techniques were not ordinary either. Therefore, they were naturally affected, and their speed and power were correspondingly weakened!

"This..." Seeing the changes in the boulder and the spear, Qingyun Daoist frowned, and he was also somewhat shocked. Although he looked down on Huang Quan on the surface, he was no fool, having cultivated to the Transcendent Realm.

Chapter 238 Six Paths

In fact, Qingyun Daoist had long seen through Huang Quan's difference and was already on guard. His previous words were just meant to lull Huang Quan into a false sense of security, making Huang Quan think that he would not go all out, so that he could take him by surprise. However, he did not expect that Huang Quan would not only not reveal any flaws, but also make him feel a little troubled.

"So that's how it is. Could it be that the clan leader values ​​this person so much... Well, I'm just the vanguard. This is enough!" Qingyun Daoist stared at Huang Quan, his eyes darting around. Then, he slowly extended his left hand, seemingly wanting to do something.
