After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 449 We'll only die under the heavenly lightning.

Shen Qingqing watched the four-legged snake with amusement, then took out a jet-black dagger and approached it.

The black dragon was both surprised and contemptuous, and spoke in human language: "With your abilities, it's impossible for you to pierce me..."

A stream of pale golden blood suddenly splattered from its scales.

Shen Qingqing looked at it like it was an animal, sneered, and a black scale appeared in her hand.

She specially redeemed this dagger from the system to deal with Jiang Liqian. What's so difficult about piercing through a beast's defenses?

The system said the immobilization array would last for twenty seconds, but Shen Qingqing wasn't going to waste that time. This four-legged lizard dared to chase her so relentlessly and even tried to kill her; she was going to make it pay.

A cold light flashed, and Shen Qingqing directly peeled off all of the dozen or so scales on the Xuanjiao's body. When she took the scales, she specifically picked the area around its heart-protecting scale.

She couldn't move the Heart-Protecting Scale, so she poisoned her dagger and stabbed it hard into the side of the scale.

The black dragon let out a mournful cry, but it couldn't move at all.

Its eyes gradually became bloodshot, staring at Shen Qingqing with a bloodthirsty look.

Shen Qingqing originally wanted to gouge out its two eyes as well, as the Xuanjiao Eyes were extremely valuable materials for refining weapons and pills. However, she didn't have enough time, so she could only put away the dagger and regretfully go to fetch the Longevity Spring Water.

[Host, do not let small things lead to big losses.]

The system reminded her.

Shen Qingqing didn't take it seriously; she had calculated that there was plenty of time.

She first teleported to the outside of the cave, then ran inside, filled her scales with spring water, and swallowed them all before they dissolved in the water. Then she said to the system, "Quick, send me out of the secret realm."

Upon receiving the order, the system was about to use its power to send Shen Qingqing outside the secret realm, but at that moment, the cave suddenly shook violently, and large chunks of rock kept falling from the cave ceiling.

The system froze for a moment, and the sound turned into a buzzing electrical noise.

Shen Qingqing had no idea what the system was doing, and in order to avoid being crushed to death by rocks, she quickly ran out of the cave.

After running out, she discovered that to her left, large patches of dark clouds were gathering, and the area was getting bigger and bigger, until the entire secret realm turned into the color of night.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind howled.

Even from a great distance, Shen Qingqing could feel the oppressive aura of those heavy tribulation clouds.

Is someone about to undergo tribulation in the secret realm?

Such overwhelming calamity clouds must be from a powerful being above the Nascent Soul stage.

She was horrified.

In my previous life, I never encountered any reclusive master undergoing tribulation here.

She had barely lost focus when a dragon roared behind her. The enraged Xuanjiao, its eyes bloodshot and its claws sharp as blades, possessed an irresistible power, determined to tear her to shreds!

Shen Qingqing was shocked because this interruption meant that she, who should have left the secret realm, was still stuck on Yingzhou Island.

"System, system, teleport me out of here! What are you doing?!"

The claws drew closer and closer to her, and she was held firmly by the powerful airflow, unable to escape.

"System, at this crucial moment, you're trying to kill me?!"

"Come out! Come out!"

Just as the claws, carrying terrifying power, were about to tear her apart, a beam of purple light suddenly descended from the sky and struck her left side hard.

Yingzhou Island suddenly began to shake violently.

Shen Qingqing screamed in shock.

The system suddenly came online and, in the instant the claws were about to tear at it, successfully took the host away.

The black dragon circled angrily in the sky, roaring in resentment.

-

Tianqian Sect.

Jianfeng.

Forbidden area in the back mountain.

The immortal with black hair and white robes closed his eyes and sat quietly in front of the ancient and massive magic array.

The Milky Way flows, the sun and moon revolve, and countless brilliant rays of light illuminate the dark void. In the beginning of chaos, the universe came into being and perished.

A single thought remains.

He died in three breaths.

The myriad paths have existed since time immemorial, and the eight directions have remained forever.

The biting wind, carrying snow, constantly swept across the immortal's robes, occasionally causing his dark hair to flutter before gradually fading into silence.

Suddenly, the immortal with black hair and white robes seemed to sense something, and opened his eyes, which were so clear and cold that they seemed to hold nothing in them. His handsome face was so beautiful that even ice and snow dared not approach.

He slightly raised his eyes, silently watching the ancient runes slowly rotating on the magic circle. Suddenly, a petal drifted gently onto his pure white wide sleeve, then vanished in an instant, disappearing into the cold snow.

Amidst the snow-covered mountains, he sat quietly, lost in thought.

Jiang Liqian left Gu Chengxue no room for maneuver, nor did she leave herself any. The azure light of the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl flickered continuously amidst the purple lightning. One array disc after another formed hand seals in her hands, and one golden whip mark after another, carrying the coldest killing intent, aimed directly at the opponent's vital point.

Gu Chengxue remained on the defensive, trying to say something to her, but all he received were increasingly fierce attacks.

Ferocious lightning crackled among the clouds, and a thunderbolt, carrying the might of heaven and earth, struck the two people squarely.

Both of them staggered, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

But the two sides only paused for a moment before engaging in an even more intense battle. Moving swiftly, their figures transformed into two streaks of light that collided from time to time.

The terrifying lightning flashed continuously, but Jiang Liqian and Gu Chengxue seemed oblivious to it.

It was as if that was not the divine power that could destroy people in an instant.

More and more bloodstains appeared on his body from the lightning strikes, and his spiritual energy was draining away like a flood. But Gu Chengxue was right; this place was perfect for undergoing tribulation.

The more spiritual energy is lost, the more spiritual energy flows into the body.

Jiang Liqian's movements became increasingly ghostly, to the point that even divine sense could hardly detect her quickly. She concealed her figure in the roaring lightning, each move swift and deadly, making her impossible to defend against.

Gu Chengxue stood before him, sword in hand, exuding an extraordinary aura. Layer upon layer of sword light erected solid defensive lines in front of him, impenetrable and without any loopholes, making it impossible for anyone to approach him.

Only when lightning strikes will the two stagger and reveal their weaknesses, as all their spiritual power is used to resist the tribulation.

At this moment, neither of them had the strength to attack the other.

"Jiang Liqian, you can't kill me like this. We'll just die from the heavenly lightning." Gu Chengxue was determined to break the deadlock.

The dangers of the Nascent Soul Tribulation are no joke.

Even if she really wanted to kill him, she shouldn't have done it at a time like this, leaving him no way out and neither her own!

Jiang Liqian wiped the bloodstains from her face with her sleeve, put away the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, and gave Gu Chengxue a cold smile: "You're right. Since it's a life-or-death struggle, we should fight with all our might and disregard life and death."

Gu Chengxue instantly understood her meaning and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Jiang...Jiang Liqian, you've gone mad..."

Jiang Liqian seemed not to hear his voice. Her spiritual energy surged outwards, and she withdrew the protective spiritual power that had been resisting the heavenly lightning.

At the same time, a dark sword shadow gradually appeared in her hand amidst purple lightning.
