The Terrifying God Transformation Expert!

"You look unfamiliar. Hand over your storage bag, then let us have some fun. This senior brother might consider letting you die a little more quickly."

Before he had even finished speaking, he gave Qian Renxue no chance to draw her sword.

With a flick of both hands, two talismans ignited without fire.

They transformed into two snarling fire serpents that attacked Qian Renxue from both sides.

At the same time, he followed behind the fire serpents, a coldly gleaming dagger appearing in his hand.

Faced with such a vicious combination attack, the viewers of Douluo Continent all held their breath.

Yet in Qian Renxue's eyes, this attack was riddled with openings.

These three years of grueling cultivation had not merely converted her spiritual power; they had also allowed her to repeatedly analyze the combat methods of the cultivation world.

She did not retreat a single step.

Facing the two blazing fire serpents, Qian Renxue suddenly stepped forward.

The pure yang spiritual power within her surged into the golden sword in her right hand like an erupting volcano.

She swung her sword.

A crescent-shaped golden sword qi swept forth, carrying a terrifying heat several times greater than that of the fire serpents.

The two seemingly ferocious fire serpents could not even put up a struggle upon touching the golden sword qi. They were directly cut apart by the violent pure yang power.

The sinister young man's expression changed drastically.

He had never imagined that a seemingly delicate junior sister could unleash such an overbearing attack.

He wanted to retreat, but Qian Renxue was faster.

That golden afterimage pierced through the firelight.

The sinister young man saw only a pair of cold, merciless phoenix eyes.

The next instant, his right arm holding the dagger flew high into the air, blood spraying everywhere.

Qian Renxue's left hand had already seized his throat.

Crack.

A crisp sound of breaking bone rang out.

The light instantly vanished from the sinister young man's eyes, and his body crumpled to the ground.

Qian Renxue skillfully removed the storage bag from his waist.

A wisp of golden flame flicked from her fingertip and landed on the corpse.

Destroying the body and erasing all traces, she did it in one smooth motion.

Only after finishing everything did she let out a slight breath.

Outside the light screen, the people of Douluo watched in prolonged silence.

There were no exchanged names before a duel. The moment they met, it was a deadly ambush; failure meant death and the dissipation of one's soul.

This was the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

This was the cultivation world.

The scene on the heavenly screen shifted slightly.

The view arrived at another valley within the forbidden land, filled with pink miasma.

Hu Liena, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood quietly beside an enormous man-eating flower.

Before her stood three male cultivators wearing the robes of different sects.

All three possessed cultivation at the eleventh or twelfth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and they had originally been fighting one another here.

But now, their eyes were vacant. Like puppets on strings, they stared at Hu Liena in a daze.

A faint pink glow shimmered in Hu Liena's eyes.

Driven by spiritual power, the Charm power emitted by her Heavenly Fox Seductive Bones was simply not something Qi Refining disciples like them could resist.

"Go. Pick the spiritual herbs over there and bring them to me."

Hu Liena's voice was soft and gentle, as though she were whispering to her most intimate lover.

The three male cultivators immediately rushed toward the depths of the valley, competing with one another to risk their lives against the poisonous demon beast guarding the spiritual herbs.

Watching this, a cold, beautiful smile curled across Hu Liena's lips.

Her style of fighting was completely different from Qian Renxue's.

But in a place like this, as long as one could survive, as long as one could obtain the spiritual herbs, the methods used did not matter at all.

At this very moment.

At the very heart of the vast Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

It was an absolute death zone, perpetually occupied by terrifying formations and high-level demon beasts.

Even Core Formation elders would face near-certain death if they entered.

Yet here, of all places.

A short, plump old man in a faded yellow robe strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

The terrifying spatial rifts around him, capable of shredding Foundation Establishment cultivators to pieces, veered away on their own whenever they drew near, as if they had encountered an invisible wall.

Xiang Zhili stopped before an ancient spirit herb that shone with seven-colored light.

He could not even be bothered to use a medicinal hoe. He simply reached out, plucked it, stuffed the immortal herb—one that would make Nascent Soul old monsters fight viciously over it in the outside world—into his mouth, and casually chewed twice.

"The taste is still so bland."

Xiang Zhili shook his head in distaste.

He raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through layers of mist and see the young disciples outside the forbidden land slaughtering one another in frenzy.

He also saw Qian Renxue and Hu Liena.

"These little ones from the mortal realm are certainly having a lively fight."

He patted his belly and let out a belch.

"But if those two little girls carrying laws from another world encounter the few truly vicious characters in the central region..."

"Then this trial may turn into a dead end."

With his hands behind his back, Xiang Zhili slowly headed deeper into the forbidden land.

His retreating figure looked utterly out of place within this killing-filled forbidden land, yet it carried an unfathomable air that made one's scalp tingle.

The scene shifted back to Qian Renxue.

Having left the marshlands, she arrived at the edge of a canyon filled with jagged rocks.

Just as she was about to stop and rest for a moment.

A violent clash of spiritual power suddenly erupted from deep within the canyon.

It was accompanied by arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha! The Covering Moon Sect's twin beauties are nothing special after all!"

"Hand over that Jade Marrow Ganoderma, and I'll leave your corpses intact!"

Qian Renxue concealed her aura and silently approached the edge of the canyon, leaning over to look down.

On the open ground below.

Two breathtakingly beautiful women in Covering Moon Sect robes stood back-to-back, blood staining the corners of their lips.

Surrounding them tightly.

Was a burly man with a bare upper body, bronze-colored skin, and a massive axe in his hand.

A terrifying aura at the peak of great completion in the Qi Refining stage emanated from him.

At that moment.

The burly man seemed to sense something. He abruptly raised his head, and his savage gaze locked directly onto where Qian Renxue was hiding.

"Another rat up there?"

"Get down here!"

The burly man roared and swung his massive axe.

A crescent-shaped, earth-yellow axe light carrying an unstoppable force directly reduced the huge boulder before Qian Renxue to dust.

For a moment, shattered stones flew everywhere and dust billowed through the air.

The instant that crescent-shaped earth-yellow axe light shattered the boulder, Qian Renxue lightly tapped the edge of the cliff with her toe.

Like a falling leaf, she drifted along the fierce wind raised by the axe light and landed softly on an open patch of ground more than ten zhang away below.

She wore a fitted green outfit today, her dazzling golden hair casually tied behind her head with a strip of cloth.

Though her face was stained with a little dust from traveling, the noble bearing cultivated from long-standing authority still made it impossible to look away.

At the bottom of the canyon.

When the bare-chested burly man saw Qian Renxue, surprise flashed through his eyes before turning into undisguised greed.

"A disciple of Yellow Maple Valley?"

The burly man rested the door-sized axe on his shoulder and sized Qian Renxue up from head to toe.

"Quite a pretty little thing."

"Outside, you Yellow Maple Valley people always act so high and mighty. I never had the chance to get close to you."

"Today, in this forbidden area, you're out of luck."

The burly man wore the uniform of the Giant Sword Sect.

The Giant Sword Sect was one of the seven major sects of the Yue Kingdom. Its disciples specialized in body cultivation and earth-element techniques, possessing immense strength.

At the Qi Refinement stage, ordinary cultivators who let them get close were almost guaranteed to be slaughtered.

The two Covering Moon Sect female disciples backed into the corner wore expressions of utter despair.

One of the slightly older female cultivators gritted her teeth and shouted at Qian Renxue.

"Junior Sister from Yellow Maple Valley, run!"

"That bastard is a core disciple of the Giant Sword Sect named Xiong Ba! He was born with divine strength—you can't beat him!"

Qian Renxue remained calm at the warning.

Run?

In this forbidden area filled with danger, turning one's back on an enemy was the stupidest possible choice.

During her three years of secluded cultivation, she had not only converted her spiritual power, but also deeply integrated her combat experience from Douluo Continent with the cultivation world's spells.

She said nothing and reached into the air with her right hand.

A golden longsword formed entirely from pure yang spiritual power instantly appeared in her palm.

Golden flames danced along its blade, abruptly raising the temperature around them.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."

Xiong Ba snorted coldly.

He kicked off the ground, launching himself like a cannonball. Wielding his massive axe, he brought it down toward Qian Renxue's head.

The axe strike was powerful and heavy, carrying a shrill howl through the air, as though it had split the very atmosphere in two.

Qian Renxue did not meet it head-on.

Her figure flashed as she stepped in an unusual pattern, slipping past the side of the massive axe like a ghost.

Bang!

The giant axe smashed into the ground, gouging out a huge pit and sending shattered stones flying everywhere.

The instant Xiong Ba's move had run its course, Qian Renxue swept her golden sword upward and thrust straight at his ribs.

The strike was incredibly fast.

But Xiong Ba's reaction was not slow either. With a roar, a thick yellowish-brown glow instantly emerged around his body.

This was the Giant Sword Sect's exclusive defensive spell—the Stone Skin Technique.

Clang!

The golden sword struck the yellowish-brown glow, producing a crisp ring of metal against metal.

Qian Renxue felt her palm go numb as a tremendous rebounding force traveled back through the blade.

What a hard turtle shell.

She assessed it silently.

Defensive spells from the cultivation world were indeed far more troublesome than the ordinary defensive soul skills of Douluo Continent.

"Hahahaha, useless!"

Xiong Ba laughed arrogantly.

"My Stone Skin Technique has already reached great perfection! With an attack as limp as yours, you can't even scratch my skin!"

He spun around sharply, sweeping his massive axe toward Qian Renxue's waist with the momentum to mow down an army.

A cold glint flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.

A limp attack?

That sword strike just now had not even used one-tenth of her spiritual power.

"Since you're so confident in that turtle shell of yours—"

"Then let me show you what it feels like to be burned through."

Instead of retreating, Qian Renxue advanced.

She took a deep breath. The pure yang spiritual power within her dantian surged into the golden sword in her right hand like floodwaters released from a dam.

The spiritual sword, originally only three feet long, instantly expanded to over ten feet.

The golden flames on its blade deepened in color, eventually taking on a trace of blinding white light.

"Sever."

Qian Renxue's red lips parted slightly. Gripping the hilt with both hands, she brought the sword down fiercely against the sweeping axe.

Boom!

A dazzling burst of fire exploded within the valley.

There was no stalemate, no suspense.

The giant axe Xiong Ba had been so proud of melted into a pool of molten iron the instant it touched the pure yang flames glowing white, like snow and ice beneath the blazing sun.

"That's impossible!"

Xiong Ba's laughter came to an abrupt stop, his eyes filling with terror.

The terrifying golden sword qi did not lose momentum. It tore straight through the earthy yellow glow around him, then slashed diagonally downward from his left shoulder.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang through the canyon.

Xiong Ba's hulking body was cleaved in two by that single sword strike.

The cut was charred black, and not a single drop of blood spilled.

The corpse hit the ground with two dull thuds.

The entire canyon instantly fell silent.

The two female disciples of the Covering Moon Sect stared wide-eyed at Qian Renxue as though she were a monster.

A Giant Sword Sect elite at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, one who specialized in body cultivation.

Had been killed in a single strike just like that?

Even his most prized magic artifact had been burned into molten iron.

What kind of monstrous cultivation technique was that?

Outside the light screen, on the Douluo Continent.

Everyone in Spirit Hall breathed a long sigh of relief at the sight.

Demon-Conquering Douluo stroked his chin and could not help praising her.

"The Young Mistress's training these past three years wasn't for nothing."

"That burst of pure yang spiritual power was even more overbearing than her soul power before."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly as well.

In this cruel world, only by displaying absolute strength could one earn others' respect and fear.

On the screen.

Qian Renxue stepped forward and skillfully removed the storage pouch from Xiong Ba's waist.

Then she flicked out a golden flame, burning the corpse to ashes.

Once she had finished, she turned to look at the two female disciples of the Covering Moon Sect.

The two women shuddered all over and instinctively took two steps back.

They had seen firsthand just how ruthless this junior sister from Yellow Maple Valley was.

Killing for treasure was perfectly normal in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

The older female cultivator endured her pain and gritted her teeth as she took a wooden box from her robes, offering it with both hands.

"Thank you, Junior Sister, for saving our lives."

"This Jade Marrow Ganoderma is a small token from us sisters. Please accept it."

They were clever enough to understand that possessing a treasure invited disaster.

Qian Renxue glanced at the wooden box.

Inside lay a snow-white spiritual herb that emitted a faint chill.

She did not refuse. She simply accepted it and put it into her storage pouch.

In the cultivation world, refusing spoils instead made others think you had ulterior motives.

Only after seeing Qian Renxue accept the spiritual herb did the two female cultivators relax slightly.

"When did Yellow Maple Valley produce such an outstanding Junior Sister? How have we never heard of you before?"

The older woman asked tentatively.

"I've been in secluded cultivation in my cave abode and rarely went outside."

Qian Renxue's tone was calm.

She had no intention of wasting time here and turned to leave.

"Junior Sister, wait."

Seeing this, the older woman hurriedly called out to stop her.

"Are you going to the central region of the forbidden land to compete for the Azure Origin Sword Sect's three slots?"

Qian Renxue halted and turned around.

"And if I am?"

The older woman sighed and shook her head with a bitter smile.

"Junior Sister, though you are strong, please heed this Senior Sister's advice. Unless you are absolutely certain, do not go near the ring-shaped mountain in the central region."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly.

"Why?"
