Acheron, Can Childhood Sweethearts Not Beat a Sudden Arrival?

And on Douluo Continent, the Abundant Ebon Deer Beast King was among the absolute top tier.

A pure stat monster and king of mechanics!

After encountering a few annoying fleas, Xu Yuan and his companions no longer needed to handle everything personally.

The Abundant Ebon Deer Beast King could solve most troubles!

If anyone had complaints, they could take them up with an Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Its only flaw was probably that it could not fly...

Just kidding. Its lightning-elemental area attacks perfectly made up for that weakness.

Having received this reward, Xu Yuan was in high spirits. He turned and left with Jingliu, Sparkle, and March 7th.

Back where they stood, the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple and Xu Yuan's team of three Titled Douluo departed.

Only then did Zhao Wuji let out a sigh of relief. After comforting Shrek's remaining four students, he led them elsewhere to hunt soul beasts.

A moment later.

Xu Yuan opened the system inventory, took out his Cloud Bat Aircraft, and released a Clockwork Bird.

"Big Sister, Sparkle, March, lend me your Cloud Bat Aircraft. Help me search for a soul beast."

"The target is a Man Faced Demon Spider around two thousand years old.

"It should be entirely black, about one and a half meters tall, with eight spider legs roughly three meters long."

Jingliu nodded, lightly tapping her knee-high boots without hesitation. A streak of purple light emerged from beneath her soles.

The Cloud Bat Aircraft was designed very humanely. When not in use, it automatically shrank down and attached itself to the sole of its bound user's shoe.

At any time and in any place, it could provide assistance to its bound user.

Sparkle and March 7th did not hesitate either. They swiftly summoned their Cloud Bat Aircraft and rose into the air in a triangular formation.

Led by the Clockwork Bird, they flew off in the four cardinal directions, conducting aerial reconnaissance.

At that moment, the mischievous Sparkle wore a broad smile. "Little Gray Hair, did you get any Trailblaze?"

Jingliu was similarly expectant, her gaze tense.

Xu Yuan smiled and spread open his palm.

A multicolored card lay quietly there, radiating mysterious patterns.

[Contract Summoning Card] ×1

A new summoning card meant a new companion.

Jingliu, Sparkle, and March 7th all had contracts with Xu Yuan, so they naturally recognized the item.

March 7th was also rather curious. Counting on her fingers, she said, "Sister Jingliu is icy cold, and Sparkle bullies me all day."

"It'd be best if she's a cute girl. I'll take her out to play."

Before March 7th could finish, Jingliu's crimson eyes swept toward her, frightening the girl stiff.

"March, we'll add extra training to the Chasing Stars Swordsmanship I taught you the day before yesterday."

Before Jingliu had even finished speaking, March 7th's pretty face immediately fell.

"No! Sister Jingliu, I was wrong!"

March 7th hurriedly raised both hands in surrender, trying to act cute her way out of it.

Unfortunately...

Jingliu did not fall for March 7th's tricks at all.

Xu Yuan stepped forward in time to speak up for March 7th, smoothing things over.

"Big Sister, let March off. Let's summon first and wait for our new contract companion to join us."

Seeing Xu Yuan take a stance, Jingliu spared March 7th and gave a slight nod.

"If so, then we'll do as Little Brother says."

Xu Yuan gripped the multicolored card and gave it a gentle squeeze. The card instantly shattered into specks of light.

Buzz!

The space before them tore open into a rift, and then a tall figure holding an oil-paper umbrella slowly appeared.

Before she even emerged, the colors of heaven and earth changed.

An endless sea of flowers rapidly spread across the ground, a shocking blood-red hue like the other shore of the Abyss.

Her aura was terrifying, and Jingliu's expression immediately turned grave.

Without even seeing her form, the pressure she gave Jingliu was no weaker than that of any one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals.

Little Brother, which powerful figure did he summon this time?

The next second.

The spatial rift vanished completely, and the woman appeared.

Before their eyes stood a purple-haired mature beauty, taller than Jingliu, with a cold and stern face.

Her features were exquisite, and her aloofness was untouched by the mortal world.

Her nose was high and elegant, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and her cherry-red lips radiated a unique charm.

The woman's face was full of confusion. She held a blood-red oil-paper umbrella in her left hand, while a large katana rested at her waist.

The blade was two meters long, and its pale-blue scabbard bore flame-like patterns and blue markings resembling a spine.

That was her weapon—Edict Blade [Naught].

One of the Twelve Edict Blades from the Izumo Takama Divine Realm!

Her long purple hair carried a faint silver hue, with gradient highlights cascading past her waist.

It draped over her slender, graceful figure.

An X-shaped strap and snake-bone patterns adorned her chest, while a snake-head ornament rested at her neck and a spinal chain hung behind her.

A purple trench coat draped over her fragrant shoulders. The leather boot on her right leg extended to her thigh, while the one on the left covered only her calf.

Her long legs were as white as jade, etched with patterns of blood-red and deep purple intertwined, adding even more allure.

Standing there, the purple-haired mature beauty faintly exuded the profound, mysterious aura of a snake-themed beauty swordswoman.

She lay quietly in wait, waiting to capture a Black Swan...

Her slender jade-like legs wore a pair of mismatched high-heeled boots as she stood upon the ground.

"My name is Acheron. May I ask, where is this...?"

The woman slowly opened her violet eyes, a trace of confusion visible within them.

Her eyes were full of incomprehension, as though she had lost her way.

With that distinctive appearance and attire, along with that red oil-paper umbrella, her identity was already obvious.

A Self-Annihilator, a Galaxy Ranger, a Nihility Emanator?

Empress Huang!

Acheron.

However, opinions differed over her third identity as a Nihility Emanator. Boothill said she was an Emanator who should not have existed.

And the Nihility Aeon, the Black Marshal "IX," would not cast Its gaze upon anyone. The Path was entirely open, and those who walked far enough could possess power on the level of an Emanator.

But regardless, Acheron's strength belonged among the absolute peak beneath the Aeons.

The only one who could stand alongside Acheron was the foremost subordinate of the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook—the Lord Ravager Zephyro.

And with Acheron's arrival, the pressure shifted onto Jingliu...

In Jingliu's perception, the purple-haired mature beauty Acheron's strength was unfathomable, far surpassing Yaoqing Xianzhou's number one.

The Great Victory General—Feixiao.

With such pressure, could a childhood sweetheart who had known him since their first meeting truly not defeat a big sister who fell from the sky?

Sure enough, celebrating victory at halftime was never advisable.

The purple-haired mature beauty Acheron took two steps. Her dazzling violet eyes paused on Jingliu for two seconds before finally...

Fixing on the astonished Xu Yuan.

Acheron watched Xu Yuan. In her heart, she could sense a contract connecting her to the young man.

"Acheron, welcome to Douluo Continent."

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, welcoming the purple-haired mature beauty.

The next second.

The silver highlights at the ends of Acheron's waterfall-like purple hair suddenly spread outward, gradually expanding and creeping farther.

They were about to cover her entire head of hair, while patterns like demonic tattoos appeared upon Acheron's exquisite collarbone.

Buzz...!

Like the stirring of Nihility itself, Acheron's violet eyes suddenly transformed into deep, blood-red eyes.

Her cascading hair swiftly turned pale white.

Xu Yuan, "?"

This was bad!

Why had Big Sister Acheron activated her second transformation?
