182: Chapter 182 With my own strength, why should I bow down to fate?!

This kind of matter could only be proven through his own conjectures; he could not speak of it to others.

After all, the existence of the System was his most fundamental trump card.

If others were to find out, it would undoubtedly invite massive trouble upon himself.

Over there, the White Empress was busy searching for the "Tears of the Moon God," while here, Yu Lingwu was not idle either.

One must know, the reason she did so much was mainly because she coveted the benefit and value that Gu Qingge could bring her.

"As the saying goes, divination measures heavenly secrets, and Yin and Yang stir up chaotic currents."

"In these past few days, I have divined that between you and me, there is a fated encounter destined by heaven."

"And now, it happens to confirm the accuracy of the divination. Do you still wish to stubbornly refuse?"

Yu Lingwu embraced him with her delicate body, her entire seductive form, fragrant like orchids, resembling a tender flower in the richness of spring, yearning for his tender care.

She turned a blind eye to the White Empress in the distance, who was focused intently on seeking a Bloodline advancement.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingge did not show any reaction; he even took a few steps back, causing Yu Lingwu's amorous advance to be met with a cold shoulder.

Gu Qingge thought to himself: Does she really think I'm a novice who just left the starting village, encountering a max-level succubus's charm, unable to extricate myself?

Clearly, by this time, Gu Qingge had already perceived the other party's clear intentions.

Everything the other party did seemed to be aimed at him.

He had to find a way to shake her off.

As for finishing her off, or killing her.

Judging by the situation, it would be quite difficult, so it was not currently under consideration.

If he really angered her, he likely wouldn't have a good outcome.

"Yo! I really didn't expect you to be so unyielding?"

"What? Unwilling? Could it be that you disdain me for not being beautiful enough?"

Yu Lingwu postured and preened; combined with that peerless appearance, there was truly a hint of a beauty capable of toppling cities and ruining nations.

"Woman, you are playing with fire!"

"I must say, this has indeed piqued my interest."

Gu Qingge approached fearlessly, as if the roles of attacker and defender had shifted, and gently hooked and lifted Yu Lingwu's chin.

In his eyes, there was three parts mockery, three parts seduction, three parts indifference, and one part coldness.

Hmm, that's right, it's the absolute shape of a superior pie chart.

"So, are you acting?"

"I really dislike people who say one thing but mean another!"

Yu Lingwu was after Gu Qingge's evolvable Heavenly Demon Emperor Body, not simply for any so-called romance or being entangled by such trivial matters.

In an instant, the dense baleful Qi that had enveloped Yu Lingwu gradually dissipated.

What was revealed now was a black feathered garment, and her entire being exuded an Aura of nobility and elegance.

At the same time, her ambition was like heavenly fire descending, full of aggression.

"To show my magnanimity and reward for you..."

"You may humbly and respectfully address me as—Queen!"

Yu Lingwu extended a jade hand, white as snow, signaling Gu Qingge to come forward and kiss it.

However, under this absolute suppression of strength, Gu Qingge did not, as she had expected, step forward like a sycophant to fawn over her.

"Oh? Still have a shred of unyielding pride?"

"I must admit, I am truly becoming more and more interested in you."

Gu Qingge looked toward the White Empress not far away, who was absorbing the Devil Soul Power from the altar Seal, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

What is this?

This is clearly infidelity right in front of my wife!

Could it be that the other party's unique possessive psychology is at play?

"Once you stepped foot in here, your fate was already unknowingly under my control."

"If I want you to live, you shall live. If I want you to die, how dare you not die?"

Seeing that Gu Qingge still made no move, a power filled with destruction and resurrection suddenly manifested from Yu Lingwu's delicate body, extremely oppressive.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingge remained calm in the face of danger, still appearing completely unmoved.

"Do you know? I have never believed in defying heaven to change fate; I only believe that man can conquer heaven."

"With my own power, why must I unwillingly bow to fate?!"

Gu Qingge's black eyes erupted with boundless, chilling intensity, and the Aura on his body was as if he were the sole sovereign of heaven and earth.

...

Outside the damaged Secret Realm, a handsome man dressed in a dark gold profound robe arrived, stepping through the air.

He hailed from a second-rate Family in the Eastern Region of the Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent, located in a city called Giant Devil City.

His clan had also made full preparations for his foray into the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons this time.

"This must be the place." Ye Wuji looked at the Secret Realm right before his eyes, and a surge of impatient desire immediately rose in his heart.

According to information provided by the clan elders, a Devil King soul existed here.

It could directly help his Devil Blood King Body achieve a Breakthrough of a great level.

However, one needed to be extra careful, as that Devil King soul, despite being eroded and corrupted by the long passage of history, still retained a portion of its strength from when it was alive.

And this portion of strength was still something one dared not underestimate.

"Once I obtain that item from the Devil King soul, from then on, everything will be smooth sailing, with no shackles to speak of."

A dense fire of ambition appeared in Ye Wuji's eyes, and when it flared up, it was as if it could burn to ashes all enemies in the world.

"Wait."

"How can this be?" Ye Wuji looked at the barrier covering the perimeter of the Secret Realm and wrapping it entirely, and doubt immediately sprouted in his heart.

"Could it be that I arrived late, and the Opportunity inside has already been stolen by someone else?"

"Elder Ying." Ye Wuji frowned, looking at the scene before him, his ambition already gradually extinguishing.

If that were truly the case, then his journey this time was destined to be one where he came with high spirits but returned in disappointment.

"Young Lord."

As Ye Wuji's call dissipated, a strange figure appeared from the shadows.

The pressure of the cultivation Realm exuded from his body was undeniably that unique to a Body Integration Stage expert!

"Can you investigate what exactly is going on inside?" Ye Wuji asked.

"Young Lord, this place is covered by a special medium barrier; relying solely on my personal strength, it is clearly not enough to break it."

"Then is there any other way?"

"Triggering the Devil Spirit Holy Water to turn these barriers into bubbles will suffice," Elder Ying said.

Hearing this, Ye Wuji felt slightly relieved; although the Devil Spirit Holy Water was precious, he at least had one bottle.

However, even so, it was enough to make his heart ache for a while.

Afterwards, without the slightest hesitation, he took the Devil Spirit Holy Water directly from his spatial ring and then poured it onto the barrier cast by Yu Lingwu.

After one breath, with the sound of a shattering noise, the barrier covering the damaged Secret Realm instantly vanished into nothingness.

"No matter what, this Devil King soul must be mine! No one can take it away!" Ye Wuji secretly resolved.

Afterwards, Ye Wuji and Elder Ying quickly flashed their figures and headed into the damaged Secret Realm.
