The Eight Forbidden Domain?

At that same moment, several more figures stepped forward, unwilling to fall behind.

Almost all of them were in the Dao Palace Realm.

The Sea of Bitterness Realm cultivators had already been cowed by the girl's palm strike and dared not make a move.

"Retreat!"

Yan Wushuang and Yang Wuzheng shouted in unison, trying to rise and force themselves to intervene.

They knew Li Qingyue's strength. She could handle Sea of Bitterness Realm cultivators, but against those in the Dao Palace Realm, she would surely die.

Yet in the next instant, an utterly unyielding will of Sole Supremacy rose from Li Qingyue.

Five-colored light formed countless minuscule vortices, covering Li Qingyue's body like a gauzy robe.

A terrifying suction erupted, drawing wisps of five-colored radiance from their surroundings toward Li Qingyue.

This made the will of Sole Supremacy emanating from her even more pronounced.

Her white dress snapped in the wind as she stood before them all, her expression icy.

She held her head high and faced everything before her, without the slightest intention of retreating.

Rumble!

Li Qingyue raised her palm and struck.

In an instant, a terrifying phantom of the Five Elements Mountain descended from the sky.

Bearing the will of Sole Supremacy, it pressed down to crush them.

"This is bad!"

"What is that?"

The several figures converging on her all paled.

This attack was worlds apart from the previous one, imbued with a terrifying will.

They actually sensed danger from that five-colored mountain.

Instinctively, they tried to retreat.

But it was already too late.

The five-colored mountain fell, and the entire expanse of space seemed to twist in that instant.

Rumble...

A terrifying roar erupted, and the whole earth seemed to shudder.

Endless clouds of dust billowed, and the girl bearing the will of Sole Supremacy stood proudly amid them.

Before her lay an enormous palm-shaped crater, with five figures whose bodies had been split by the impact sprawled inside it.

Their bones and internal organs had been shattered, leaving them like heaps of mashed flesh.

Divine light kept flickering around them, trying to mend their wounds as they stared at the mortal girl in terror.

They had never imagined that the girl's combat strength would surge in an instant when she manifested the will of Sole Supremacy.

At this sight, the whole world seemed to fall briefly silent.

Those were five Dao Palace Realm cultivators. Though they were only at the first or second level, they were still in the Dao Palace Realm.

In smaller clans or blessed Grotto-Heavens, they would have been elders or sect-leader figures.

Yet now, a mortal girl had gravely injured them with a single palm strike.

Everyone's gaze roamed over the girl, trying to discern something.

But the girl remained unmoved, her expression icy. She raised her hand, conjured a mountain, and struck down with her palm once more.

Rumble...

The earth trembled slightly, and the enormous crater sank even deeper.

The bodies of all five Dao Palace Realm cultivators inside burst apart under the impact, leaving nothing but a wash of blood.

Every trace of life was extinguished.

At this sight, the whole world fell silent once again.

Five Dao Palace Realm cultivators had actually been killed by a mortal girl with two palm strikes.

This was simply beyond anything anyone had expected.

"She... she... has she touched the eight forbidden domain?"

Someone spoke in a trembling voice, and everyone's expression changed drastically.

With a mortal body, she had slain cultivators at the second level of the Dao Palace Realm, crossing the Four Sea of Bitterness Realms and two levels of the Dao Palace Realm-a gap of six stages.

That was at least the six forbidden domain!

The eight forbidden domain?

Li Qingyue's heart stirred as well. Once the will she had tempered with Emperor Script was unleashed, it had actually touched the eight forbidden domain.

Will?

Will was born from the body and soul.

Could a powerful will nourish the body and soul in turn, allowing one to touch the eight forbidden domain?

No! At most, the two forbidden domain!

My own strength is comparable to the Divine Bridge or Other Shore Realm stage!

Only with Emperor Script added can I contend with the Dao Palace Realm!

Others might not know, but she understood it perfectly well herself.

A hundred thousand jin of strength, five elements true qi, devouring power, and a body tempered by five elements true qi.

She already possessed combat strength on par with the Other Shore Realm stage of the Sea of Bitterness Realm.

But in the next instant, a cultivation art suddenly flashed through her mind.

An art the Ruthless Great Emperor had created in her early years, which placed her squarely within the divine forbidden domain in her later years.

It could contend with the Nine Secrets: Lin, created by the Tribulation-Transcending Heavenly Venerable.

Only I Am Supreme Art!

At that moment, Li Qingyue seemed to glimpse the mysteries of the Only I Am Supreme Art.

Tempering an invincible will step by step, nourishing the body and primordial spirit in turn, and touching the divine forbidden domain.

"A mere mortal actually possesses such ability. She holds a great secret!"

"Capture her! Then you, too, can enter the eight forbidden domain!"

"From then on, you will be birds soaring through boundless skies, fish leaping through vast seas, able to contend with the holy sons!"

"Perhaps you will even secure a place in the struggle of the great age to come."

"What are you still standing around for?"

That woman's voice rang out again, seeming to come from every direction and reaching everyone's ears.

It brimmed with endless temptation.

The eight forbidden domain was the exclusive province of peerless figures.

It allowed them to cross eight minor stages and slay Heavenly Prodigies above their own level.

If they obtained such a great secret, their strength would surely soar in an instant.

Never mind the Holy Land Holy Sons—even against cultivators in the Four Extremes Realm or Dragon Transformation Realm, they would have the strength to fight.

Those in the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation Realms were the backbone of Holy Lands and great clans, figures on the level of elders.

For a moment, the scene became exceedingly quiet.

Many gazes remained fixed on the girl.

A mortal body that had yet to open its bitter sea had already developed a strange power capable of contending with the Dao Palace Realm. Such a secret art was absolutely extraordinary.

"Could it be the legendary Nine Secret Techniques?"

Someone muttered to himself, yet he made no attempt to conceal his voice, which reached everyone's ears clearly.

In an instant, everyone's gaze burned with desire.

Legend held that the Nine Secret Techniques had been created by nine invincible Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era, each secret encompassing a particular domain and bringing it to its pinnacle.

Although the Nine Secret Techniques had been split apart at the end of the Mythological Era, leaving no complete inheritance thereafter.

Some great powers and major Holy Lands still possessed incomplete portions of the Nine Secret Techniques.

Their younger generations could practically rely on them to contend with certain elders.

At that moment, boundless greed arose in almost everyone.

Li Qingyue's expression grew colder still. Her eyes swept her surroundings, but she could not locate the woman hidden in the shadows.

Yet she still showed no sign of retreating.

She looked straight at the man who had muttered those words.

He was a middle-aged man with reasonably handsome features, but he was clearly stirring up trouble as well.

He and the woman concealed in the shadows were targeting her together, one openly and the other covertly.

In the next instant, before the dozen or so people itching to act could make a move, Li Qingyue had already stepped forward.

Five-colored light flowed beneath her feet, with five-colored vortices erupting one after another.

This multiplied her speed and explosive power.

Thud!

A dainty footprint was left directly in the pitch-black ground.

Li Qingyue's figure instantly became a blur, approaching the man who had muttered those words at tremendous speed.

She was not acting recklessly.

With so many people present, once the Tianquan Saint and the others acted, even the slightest display of weakness would inevitably invite a mass assault.

Danger would follow relentlessly, perhaps even death.

Especially with Four Extremes Realm experts nearby itching to act.

She was different. She was a mortal, and once she displayed her combat strength, she could at least buy them some time.

Once the five people behind her recovered a little, they would surely be able to face everything with composure.

"Don't!"

"Come back!"

"Qingyue!"

"He's in the Four Extremes Realm! Retreat!"

Yang Wuzheng, Yan Wushuang, the Tianxuan Saintess, and even the Tianquan Saint and Yaoguang Holy Son all shouted, their expressions changing drastically.

Even they had to exercise extreme caution when facing a Four Extremes Realm expert.

Let alone Li Qingyue.

Boom!

As she closed in at tremendous speed, Li Qingyue seemed not to hear them. Her palm rose sharply.

The phantom of a five-colored mountain appeared directly in the air.

Its immense suppressive force was like that of a real, towering mountain.

It had been manifested through Emperor Script. Though it lacked divine power, it still could not be underestimated when fueled by five elements true qi.

At the very least, Dao Palace Realm cultivators could not withstand it head-on.

"Die!"

A vicious gleam shone in Li Qingyue's eyes. Her expression was icy, as though she had never cared about her own life or death.

Her small, delicate palm struck down, and the phantom of the five-colored mountain abruptly fell.

"Such audacity!"

The middle-aged man's expression shifted slightly. With a wave of his hand, divine power instantly burst forth, and his arm turned insubstantial.

Crack...

Space was torn apart. Without any other visible movement, he merely gave a light slap.

The five-colored mountain instantly shattered.

Before Li Qingyue could approach, she was blasted backward. Her face turned deathly pale, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

But in the next instant, Li Qingyue did not pause at all. She stamped down hard again, and five-colored vortices blossomed beneath her feet.

Boom!

The ground instantly cracked, and Li Qingyue appeared before the man again in a flash.

Her palm rose sharply, and another five-colored mountain descended.

This sight shocked everyone, leaving them rooted to the spot in disbelief.

A mortal was fighting a Four Extremes Realm expert. How could they, cultivators of the Dao Palace and Sea of Bitterness Realms, still dare to act?

Even the few Four Extremes Realm cultivators who had wanted to intervene now looked startled and doubtful, silently watching.

"Die!"

Li Qingyue roared, bringing her five jade-like fingers crashing down.

At the same time, her other palm darted out.

Countless five-colored vortices spun across it, unleashing a terrifying devouring force.

It was as though a monstrous beast lurked within that tiny palm.

"Hmph! Since you're courting death, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
