Chapter 77

It wasn't going to end like this.

You sent yourselves here.

Jiang Nan's blood energy was like a dragon; with one punch, he shattered two magical artifacts that had been thrown at him.

Divine Demon Body Refining—one hand sun, one hand moon—and then he slaughtered two elders.

The rest were still besieging him.

As Jiang Nan flashed, he evolved the Greedy Wolf Kill.

The Greedy Wolf roared, and a huge Greedy Wolf phantom ran wild in the mountain forest.

In an instant, the four directions were in chaos, the mountain forest shattered, and several elders followed, exploding in terror.

Even in death, they still couldn't believe it.

Some were unwilling; this seemed to be the Heavenly Pivot inheritance.

Two insidious ones even wanted to take a detour to attack the girl behind, making Jiang Nan hesitate to act.

Jiang Nan arrived in a step.

But it seemed he didn't need to make a move.

The girl raised her head abruptly; her eyes were gray and dark, and she herself was like a black hole, rushing out.

The void was distorted and unreal.

Her residual shadow passed directly through the bodies of the two elders, and she snatched and devoured their energy.

Originally, in the girl's state and strength, they might not have been inferior.

But at that very moment, their souls felt cold and trembled.

In an instant, everything was too late.

They looked blankly at the large holes in their bodies and their exhausted energy.

As the wind blew, they wanted to scream something in fear, but they watched as their bodies vanished into smoke.

A group of people who were usually high and mighty, all at the elder level, had come in a grand manner.

They looked down on the two.

In one encounter, they were all gone.

Only the two remained in different directions, and the residual killing aura was exceptionally cold.

The girl looked at Jiang Nan, still not speaking.

Her faint eyes seemed to be saying, she was such a monster—are you afraid?

Or, are you going to eliminate demons and defend the Dao?

Jiang Nan walked over and supported the trembling girl who was about to fall.

Not only was she bleeding from her mouth, but she was also bleeding all over; she looked like she was about to collapse.

But she was also exceptionally stubborn; she didn't let Jiang Nan support her, nor did she fall.

Her thin, weak body still stood straight.

"You can guard against the whole world, but you really don't have to guard against me," Jiang Nan said.

"With the whole world as my enemy, I will accompany you."

"Such beautiful big eyes, still looking at me? There is no why."

"Just take it that I like eating the food you cook, okay?"

"I like the time we spend cultivating together."

"This is also the reason why I couldn't bear to leave all along, right?"

"I didn't expect them to seek death," Jiang Nan said.

Time passed slowly.

The girl became even colder and more taciturn.

The whole world had turned gray, and she couldn't believe in anyone anymore.

Or perhaps the only light was him.

She wasn't sure, and she didn't dare to think about it.

If he also... then she would truly be all darkness.

Jiang Nan felt heartache and also felt irritable.

It even put pressure on him.

Originally, he had been playing in the Jianghu.

It was all because of that bunch of bastards.

Actually, he had long thought about the Empress's destiny—it was just such a life of sorrow, with the whole world as her enemy.

He didn't expect it to be so cruel from the beginning.

The girl's state was still unstable, though she looked a bit better.

Actually, it wasn't good.

She hadn't created the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art; it was just a product of her survival instinct, her strong will, and their collision.

It was just in an embryonic state.

Jiang Nan had also deduced a lot, but the Empress's path should be hers to take.

In her state, only she could take it.

She was constantly persisting in pain, with different energies running wild in her body.

If she were completely stabilized, her realm would probably be catching up to his.

The mysterious killing aura of the black hole devouring also caused physical and mental impact on ordinary people, allowing her to kill across levels.

However, if she encountered someone powerful and firm-minded, it would be hard to say.

It wasn't that Jiang Nan was slow; he had only been initiated for a few days.

He was older, so he had to build a better foundation.

The main thing was that there were no resources; if there were resources, he estimated his realm would have been much higher long ago.

One had heaven-defying comprehension, the other had crazy devouring—both were cheating.

"In your state, wanting to stabilize seems almost impossible."

"It's like you're lacking resources."

"No destruction, no construction; break and then build. Continue to devour, sublimate in devouring, and stabilize in devouring," Jiang Nan said.

The girl was thoughtful. ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
