arquis's ultimate technique… it is said to have been created by a superpowered being who has already 'transcended'. That powerful individual is long dead, but the legacy of his ultimate skill once cau...Purple Thunder Forbidden Territory, First Layer of the Forbidden Territory.

Booming~~~~

Rushing streaks of crimson lightning, filled with an awe-inspiring might, formed a vast web of thunderous energy the moment Aqi and the Shadow Venerable stepped into the forbidden domain. This network of electrifying tendrils descended upon them, ready to ensnare the intruders.

This thunderous giant net, each sheet possesses the power to obliterate a Six-Step Venerable.

As long as one remains within the first restricted zone, these thunderous nets that cover everything will not cease.

The Shade Venerable held a pitch-black staff in his hand, waving it wildly as he frantically fled forward. With each swing of the staff, he shattered the thunderous nets that appeared before him.

The first level of the forbidden zone only poses a threat to ordinary Six-Step Venerables. As a top figure ranked 21st on the Eastern Wasteland Venerable List, he can still survive for a long time within this first level of the forbidden zone.

"Crazy woman!! Crazy woman!!"

Although the Ghostly Venerable wasn't afraid of the dangers of this first forbidden zone, he was terrified of the innocent girl who was chasing after him.

Whoever kills Su Xin, I will kill!

A-Qi's eyes held determination and resolve. The surrounding thunderous net had little impact on her. Her speed was astonishingly fast, and in just a moment, she could catch up to the Shadow Venerable again.

"Su Xin" The Shadow Venerable's eyes widened, and he immediately understood.

He didn't know this innocent girl at all. They had never met before, let alone had any grudge against each other.

But the other party was so crazy to come to kill him, even daring to enter the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone.

In addition, this girl had previously killed the Blood Blade King...

It's obvious that this young girl attacked them because of Su Xin.

"Damn Su Xin!!" the Shadow Venerable cursed.

At this moment, Ah Qi had already appeared behind him, and a terrifying and vast aura of destruction began to gather in her hands.

Even the short, black dagger less than two feet long in her hand gave off a faint ethereal glow.

Wow!

A cold blade, piercing straight out.

The entire sky had darkened completely at this moment. In the boundless gloom, only the faint light in Aqi's hand remained, making it shine with extraordinary brilliance.

With a roar, the void was ripped asunder like paper.

Aqi has been at Jiusheng Mountain for six months now. During this time, the Sixth Mountain Master also designed some cultivation plans for her, especially creating a unique skill that was most suitable for her to use. Aqi has already mastered most of this skill.

She was already terrifyingly powerful, and now she was using her most effective technique.

This blade thrust out....

"Oh no!"

The venerable Shadow's face drastically changed, only feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis filling his heart.

He didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately took out a Command Seal.

This amulet, imbued with power, was crafted by his master, the Heavenly Illusion Saint Sovereign.

In the Eastern Desolate Land, it's extremely difficult to refine such command talismans that can contain the power of one's own strike. It also requires a very high level of personal strength.

Under normal circumstances, only super-powered individuals at the level of 'Mountain Master' or 'Palace Master' are qualified to refine it, and the refining process is also extremely difficult.

His master, the Celestial Saint Lord Tianhuan, was one of the most powerful Saint Lords and exceptionally skilled in refining artifacts. Only he could barely refine one such artifact.

But this one took a lot of his master's effort and sacrifice. His master has only managed to forge one so far, and gave it to him.

Now, for his life, he had to use this final command.

Hum~

As the Venerable Shadow crushed the talisman in his hand, a terrifying and vast power erupted immediately.

"Bang!!"

The heavens and earth tremble.

Large swathes of emptiness collapsed instantly.

A-Qi trembled, staggering backward, but quickly regained his footing.

"Master's strike only managed to push her back"

A sliver of despair flashed across the Shadow Venerable's heart, but it was immediately replaced by boundless madness.

"Ah!!"

He roared, his whole being consumed by madness as he charged forward. In a mere blink of an eye, he plunged straight into the second layer of the Purple Lightning Forbidden Zone.

The second level of the forbidden zone, even transcendents might fall there.

The moment he charged into the second restricted domain, a vast expanse of thunderbolts enveloped him instantly. These bolts were no longer ordinary; their color had shifted to a deep purple.

"Madwoman! Madwoman!!"

I will get revenge, I will definitely get revenge!!

The Shadow Venerable, beneath that deep purple thunder's cover, still let out shrieks and roars, his voice utterly frantic.

At the same time he was roaring, his mind couldn't help but recall a few years ago, in the Fourth Realm, that Su Xin. He too, under his pressure, had plunged into the depths of the lake heart to fight for a glimmer of hope.

And now, that scene has fallen upon him.

The cause of the past, the fruit of the present...

At the very edge of the first forbidden zone, near the second realm, A-Qi stood with a cold expression, watching the Shadow Venerable who was roaring and shrieking madly ahead. It had already been engulfed by a large amount of deep purple lightning. She did not choose to continue pursuing it.

Actually, after she chased the Shadow Venerable into this Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone, Su Xin had already sent her a "warning" message.

The content is very simple.

"No matter whether or not the Shadow Venerable is killed, we must not set foot in the second restricted area!"

Su Xin's tone was very serious, she had to listen, and she wasn't stupid either.

This first layer of the forbidden zone was alright; she didn't feel too much danger. But the second layer in front of her gave her a strong sense of instinctual crisis.

Therefore, although somewhat unwilling, Aqi chose not to enter the second restricted domain.

After a moment, when the Netherworld Venerable fell silent, she turned and left.

……

Outside the Purple Lightning Forbidden Zone, numerous powerful figures from both camps still gathered there.

I wonder what's happening inside this forbidden zone. Will the Shadow Venerable be killed

"It shouldn't be possible, that's the Shadow Venerable! The first venerate of the Heavenly God Palace. Throughout the entire Azure Mystic Domain, only the Nine Dreams Dao Lord is slightly stronger than him. A powerful being like this wouldn't die so easily, right"

It’s hard to say, you didn’t see the girl who hunted him, her strength is terrifying!

These strong ones are all waiting eagerly.

Not long after, a stunningly beautiful maiden in plain robes swept out of the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone.

"Seventh Master Jiuchen immediately stepped forward, “Are you alright”

"It's nothing," A-chi said softly.

"What about the Nether Shadow Venerable" Nine Star Sect Master asked.

Many powerful individuals around were also listening carefully.

"He fled into the second forbidden zone. I didn't continue to pursue him," Ah Qi said.

"The Shadow Venerable fled into the second forbidden zone" Jiucheng Dao Lord gasped.

He knew very well that the second layer of the forbidden zone could even kill transcendents. To what extent had the Shadow Venerable been pushed to, to choose to flee there

And at this time, Su Xin also sent a message.

"Aqi, Su Xin said we must return to Mount Jiusheng immediately. Let's go," said the Lord of Jichin Dao.

Hmm, Aqi nodded.

With things escalating to such a degree that even Venerable Youying was forced to flee into the second forbidden domain, his life or death unknown, Su Xin naturally worried that the Heavenly Palace would go mad.

A-Qi and the Lord of Jiuxing left soon after, and didn't bother with the chance offered by the Guiyuan Pagoda anymore.

But the powerhouses of the two major camps around were now trembling with shock.

Did you hear That Shadow Venerable was actually forced to flee into the second restricted zone!!

"That's the Second Forbidden Zone! Even transcendent powerhouses entering there could possibly be killed. Although Shadow Venerable is powerful, escaping into that place might also result in his death"

Even if he doesn't die, he'll be skinned alive!

At the same time they were shocked, these powerful figures were also curious about the identity of the young girl.

Who was that girl Was she from Mount Jiusheng

"Since Jiucheng Daozhu just called her Aqi, could that be the girl's name"

"That young girl is only at the peak of the fourth step, how could her strength be so terrifying"

Everyone was astonished, and at the same time, news of the battle spread like wildfire.

……

The Blood Knife King is dead.

A girl named Aqi beheaded him with a single strike.

Even the formidable Shadow Venerable was relentlessly pursued by this girl named Ah Qi, forced to flee into the second layer of the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone, his life and death unknown.

This message, like a huge thunderstorm, exploded throughout both camps.

Both camps' countless powerhouses were shaken, even driven mad.

Especially those strong warriors from Jiusheng Mountain.

On the open plaza, a large number of Nirvana Realm cultivators gathered together, excitedly discussing this battle.

"It's terrifying, that girl named A-Qi is truly terrifying!"

"To be able to kill Blood Knife King with one strike and force the Shadow Venerable to such a state, this Ah Qi's strength would at least rank within the top ten on the Eastern Wasteland Venerable List, right"

"It's certain to be in the top ten, just not sure exactly where.

"

"Where did this girl come from I've never heard of her before.

This young girl, I know, is said to have been brought back from outside by Su Xin. Her beauty is renowned, even surpassing that of the summer fairy, Xia Xianzi.

"What did Su Xin bring back He's already strong and twisted enough, but just any random girl he brings back from outside is this terrifying too"

……

Inside Mount Jiusheng, everyone was talking about it.

In a tavern, Su Xin, Ge Mon, and the Elder Yuhou sat together.

"Su Xin, did you hear Right now, everyone inside Jiusheng Mountain is discussing Aqi. After this battle, Aqi's fame in the Qingxuan Domain is probably even greater than yours!"

Ge Mon looked at Su Xin and smiled: "But to be honest, it's really scary that A Qi was able to drive the Ghost Shadow Venerable to such a desperate state. You are also quite formidable. A Qi possesses such strength, yet you didn't tell us before."

Geemon and the Venerable Youhou seemed to have some resentment.

There was no way, A-chi's strength had shocked the two of them the most.

Although others were shocked by A Qi's strength, they had never truly interacted with him before. However, they knew A Qi very well, having met him and even shared drinks.

How could they not have thought, that seemingly innocent and harmless girl, once she exploded, was actually so terrifying!!

Su Xin listened, only a wry smile on his face, while in his heart he felt a lightness.

A-Qi's commotion this time was big, but that day the Jinghu Temple didn't seem to go mad and immediately come for revenge. Now, A-Qi and Jiu Chen Daozhu have returned to the camp and gone back to Jiusheng Mountain through the spatial channel.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the figures of Ah Qi and Lord Jiu Chen appeared on the plaza, the once bustling square fell silent instantly.

……e Azure Dragon Squad were all astonished."Oh no, it's a trap!"Azure Dragon immediately understood, "Those two were bait, retreat quickly!"Five people immediately changed direction, wanting to evacuate...
