ugh the first layer of the secret realm. This junior brother, like him, was one of the two most brilliant prodigies of the Qisha Gate, and their relationship was also quite close."He brought you out t..."Blood dream, crimson sunset!!"

The Venerable Fury Axe grasped the two-meter-long golden axe in both hands, his eyes flashing with a golden light.

The golden axe roared and slashed out.

As if Pangu was opening up the heavens and earth for the first time, the moment that gigantic golden axe shadow appeared, it caused the void to tremble. The lake below immediately rippled and cracked under its imposing presence, forming a massive chasm.

And Su Xin also made his move at this moment.

Under the blessing of the Nebula, the purple divine sword in his hand was directly swung out.

Easy and smooth.

A breathtaking sword light instantly spread out.

In the void, a brilliant and boundless Sword River suddenly appeared. The river flowed, carrying an inexplicable aura of might.

It is exactly the peerless art created by Su Xin...the Star River!

In the void, that vast and awe-inspiring axe shadow, as if splitting the heavens and earth, collided head-on with the glittering, boundless river of swords.

There was no terrifying roar as one might imagine, only the silent clash of immense power.

And beneath their feet, Lake Yan Shui stretched across an area exceeding several li in radius. The entire surface had sunk at least ten meters below its previous level.

And within this range, the lake water that sank caused a series of massive waves hundreds of meters high to surge around its perimeter. They swept wildly in all directions, covering everything like an unstoppable tide.

The Wrathful Axe Venerable, a revered Five-Step Nirvana Venerable, wielded a colossal axe that was a divine weapon of the Daoist level. In this Fourth World Domain, his combat prowess ranked among the very best. He possessed absolute confidence in his own strength.

Although Su Xin had blocked dozens of his axes before without being injured, this made him realize that Su Xin's protective ability was extraordinary.

But he remained confident. He believed that once his strongest ultimate technique was unleashed, this Second Step Nirvana Realm expert would be unable to withstand it so easily anymore. Even if he wasn't killed instantly by this axe strike, at the very least, he would be severely injured.

This is what he was thinking.

However, the moment the golden axe shadow truly came into contact with the dazzling river of swords that was spreading out, the Axe Venerable froze.

From that dazzling sword river, he immediately sensed a terrifying power, no less than his own, and even stronger than his own axe.

"Impossible!!"

Master Nu Axe roared with fury.

The might of the dazzling sword river had fully erupted, instantly shattering his ax shadow and forcing him back.

He staggered back a great distance before he could finally regain his footing.

As soon as he stood firm, a streak of fresh blood immediately welled up from the corner of his mouth.

"Ultimate Skill!!"

Master Nu Axe ignored the blood trickling from his mouth, instead widening his eyes in disbelief and staring at Su Xin who had only retreated a few steps, his aura remaining undiminished.

His heart was already in turmoil.

The ultimate learning, countless five-step peak experts all desire it immensely, yet find it incredibly difficult to overcome...

Now, he actually saw it being cast from the hands of a Two-Step Nirvana Realm expert

The other party, relying on this ultimate skill, actually injured him even after colliding with his strongest move

And at this moment, Su Xin's heart was also filled with excitement.

As I expected.

Su Xinmu's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. "If it came to a straight-up fight, my combat power is only at the peak of the Four Steps. Even relying on the Blood Cloud Killing Array, I would only be considered quite strong among the Four Steps peak level. Compared to the Five Steps Nirvana Realm, there's still a considerable gap."

If both parties unleash their ultimate moves, a purely destructive clash of power... I would use the Starry Cloud Hand, boosting my strength significantly, and then execute the 'Galaxy' ultimate technique. The energy unleashed by this move would definitely be at the peak level of the Five Steps realm, even surpassing the strongest attack of many Five Steps Honored Ones.

"This Venerable Axe-Wielder, his strongest attack is only barely at the peak of Five Steps, the explosive power in an instant isn't as strong as mine. This collision ended up with him getting injured instead."

Su Xin's combat strength is indeed only at the peak of the fourth step.

Once they unleash their ace in the hole and perform their ultimate technique, the power that erupts in an instant can reach the peak of a five-step master.

Of course, this kind of eruption can only erupt at a certain moment and cannot last.

After all, his cultivation was still too low. Performing his ultimate techniques consumed too much of his true essence; each use drained nearly 30% of his true essence and a large amount of bloodline power. He couldn't perform them several times during a single battle.

And the nebula hand, similarly, is extremely taxing on the user. These are all techniques that cannot be used continuously.

Even if it was just a sudden outburst for a moment, it was still inconceivable.

At the very least, the Venerable Wrathful Ax before him was completely astonished by this sudden outburst.

"Venerable Furious Axe, I just heard you say that if I can withstand your ultimate move unharmed, you'll turn and leave, right Then why don't you leave now" Su Xin looked at Venerable Furious Axe with interest and sneered, "Of course, if you don't leave, I don't mind keeping you company and playing a little longer."

Hearing Su Xin's words, the Venerable Nu Fu fell silent.

At first, he was very confident in his abilities.

Now that the battle is over…

I went all out, and he continuously blocked dozens of my axes without even a scratch.

I unleashed my ultimate move, but he countered it head-on, leaving me injured while he remained unharmed.

"Such strength, and that terrifying protective ability... Within the fourth realm, who could have killed him"

Master Nu Axe shook his head secretly. At least he himself didn't have that ability.

Kenichi

The Venerable Nu Axe's expression remained as cold as ever, but his voice held a hint of admiration. "You, at only the Second Step Nirvana Realm, have created a unique skill. Impressive!!"

Having said that, the Venerable Anger Axe turned and left directly.

Su Xin stood there, calmly watching the departing figure of Venerable Anger Axe.

"This Venerable Wrath Axe, within the Fourth Realm, is already considered one of the top powerhouses. However, he poses absolutely no threat to me," Su Xin chuckled.

When he learned that he had been schemed against by the Blood Peng Venerable, he was not too worried and did not want to leave this area. This was because he had absolute confidence.

He knew that his current self might not be as powerful as a true Five Steps Nirvana Venerable, but with an indestructible secret art that gave him a body comparable to a top-grade treasure, and various trump cards in hand, he didn't need to fear the strong opponents from the opposing camps within the Fourth Realm.

Because the other party was completely helpless against him.

Even the revered Anger Axe would find it incredibly difficult, even impossible, to kill him. Even a peak five-step expert would have little hope of success.

In the Fourth Realm, except for the lake at the heart of the abyss known as the Desolation, or if a hostile faction has a Pinnacle Five-Step expert or even a Six-Step Venerable who personally descended with unique skills, then he could roam freely!

……

Within the Yan Shui Lake, the Venerable Furious Axe slowly glided forward.

He furrowed his brow, still pondering the battle that had just transpired.

There's no way, just now a battle, it gave him a huge shock.

"A Second Stage Nirvana Realm cultivator, actually created a unique and unmatched skill"

"His power wasn't particularly overwhelming. When I directly faced him with dozens of axes, I completely crushed him. Yet, his body didn't sustain any injuries His flesh must be incredibly strong, perhaps comparable to a treasure Could he have cultivated one of the Nine Sacred Mountain's inheritance secrets, the 'Golden Elephant' secret art"

Even the venerable Axe of Fury knows that among the three major inheritance secret arts of Mount Jiusheng, there is one dedicated to cultivating the physical body. When cultivated to a certain level, the physical body can be comparable to a treasure.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly three streaks of light flew over from the front and stopped in the void in front of Venerable Fury Axe.

Having seen Venerable Fists of Anger, these three all bowed respectfully.

"The three of you, are you here for the secret treasure map in that sword-wielding hand" The Venerable Nu Axe glanced at the three people in front of him. They were all strong fighters from the Heavenly Palace camp and had been venturing in Lake Flamewater. He had met these three before a few times.

"They all nodded."

"That Sword One, you don't need to look for it any longer. Anger Axe Venerable said directly.

The three people frowned.

No need to look for Kenichi anymore

Could it be that Jian Yi has already been killed by this furious Axe Venerable Did the secret map also fall into the hands of the Axe Venerable

The Venerable Angry Axe's next words shocked all three of them.

"Just now, I fought Jian Yi. I used all my skills, even my ultimate move, but not only did I fail to kill him, I also suffered a small loss," said the Nu Dao Venerable.

“What” All three of them had expressions of shock.

Even the Venerable Liannu Axe couldn't do anything to Jian Yi He even suffered a small loss

“It’s not just me, I’m afraid no one in the entire Fourth Realm can do anything to him.” The Wrathful Axe Venerable continued, “If you three don’t believe me, you can go try him. But I advise you three to be careful. Don’t lose your lives trying to get the map without success.

In the eyes of Venerable Angry Axe, once Jian Yi unleashed his ultimate technique with full power, its might could even suppress his strongest move. If used against these three peak Stage Four cultivators, I'm afraid a single strike would be enough to obliterate all three of them.

The Venerable Nudo had said nothing more and quickly departed, leaving only these three standing there, looking at each other in astonishment.

……

Prior to this, due to the widespread dissemination by Blood Peng Venerable, many powerful figures from the Heavenly God Palace camp in Flamewater Lake received the news and rushed to the area where Su Xin was located.

But soon, these powerful people received a completely new message.

The Venerable Furious Axe faced off against the swordsman.

Even though the Venerable Angry Axe used all his strength and even unleashed his strongest technique, he was still unable to defeat Jian Yi. He even suffered a minor loss. Afterward, he said that no one in the entire Fourth Realm could kill Jian Yi.

When this news spread, the powerful figures in the Tian Shen Palace camp were all greatly astonished.

Many people were deterred at first.

And just two days after this news spread, the Three Slayers Venerable of the Heavenly Palace camp also found Su Xin.

This Three Kills Venerable, while perhaps not as strong as the Angry Axe Venerable in terms of raw power, possesses a more comprehensive set of tactics and some unique trump cards. Even among Five Steps Nirvana Venerables, those slightly weaker could potentially be killed by him.

Finally, the Venerable Sashan returned empty-handed. He also admitted that unless a peak Five Steps expert made a move himself, there was little chance of anyone being able to kill Jian Yi.

These words from the Three Kills Venerable were even more shocking than those from the Furious Axe Venerable.

Five steps to the peak, could it only be possible with a master personally taking action

You should know, this fourth domain, even ordinary Five-Step Nirvana Venerables are rare, and at the peak of the Five Steps, there's probably not even one.

Who else could kill him

For a time, the powerful fighters from the Tengū camp who still wanted to kill Kenichi and seize the secret treasure map all retreated.

"Even the Venerable Three Kills and the Venerable Fury Axe were helpless against him. How could we, who are only at the Fourth Step of Nirvana, possibly kill him"

The strong fighters of the Heavenly Palace camp weren't stupid either.

If Jian Yi's strength was average, they would naturally want to kill him and take the secret map. However, after both the Three Killing Venerable and the Angry Axe Venerable personally intervened, but were helpless, they naturally became too lazy to waste any more time.

As a result of this incident, 'Kenichi's' name began to spread throughout the Fourth Realm.

Not only within the Tengheng Palace camp, but even in the Jiusheng Mountain camp, many people had learned of this news.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

…… the silver-robed man wielding the knife was now full of astonishment.The war sword in his hand, though not a magic weapon, was nonetheless a top-grade treasure. He had just unleashed it with all his...
