Chapter 84
Divine-granted skills were the most powerful abilities across all human professions, ultimate moves that could turn the tide of battle. And yet, Qin Xian could completely nullify them, effectively rendering his opponent’s trump card useless.
As for Law Manipulation, it enabled him to create a domain within which he could set any rule. If Qin Xian declared that everything within the domain was of the ice element, then everything within would indeed be ice.
If he declared it a vacuum, all air within the domain would vanish. Inside his domain, Qin Xian was the omnipotent creator.
In his Void Overlord state, Qin Xian could manifest a void realm directly, making him even stronger in battle. This was precisely why Void Overlords longed to devour world sources. By consuming them, they could spread the Void to every corner of the cosmos.
A cold smile appeared on Qin Xian’s face as he turned to look at the Eternal Queen, Marika, who had been completely enslaved.
Marika was now entirely under his control; Qin Xian could sense her soul, and with just a single thought, he could bring about her utter destruction.
A slightly wicked smile curved Qin Xian’s lips. “Come here and kneel, my goddess.”
Marika’s eyes showed no hint of resistance; instead, they were filled with yearning, as if approaching Qin Xian was an immense honor for her.
The tendrils disappeared, and Marika walked over, kneeling before him and prostrating herself at his feet. In this scene, she bore no resemblance to the noble and holy goddess she once was. She looked more like a subservient animal.
This was the terrifying nature of the Ancient God’s Curse. A deity under its control was stripped of all dignity, reduced to eagerly craving their master’s approval.
Qin Xian smiled faintly and lifted Marika’s chin with a finger, gazing at her exquisitely beautiful and pure face.
Even he had to admit that Marika’s appearance was unmatched; not even the renowned beauties like Chu Junzhu, Qin Li, or Su Keqing could hold a candle to her. After all, Marika was a goddess, a bona fide deity.
“My master… Marika is willing to offer you everything… at any time,” Marika murmured dreamily, her eyes filled with fanatic devotion as she gazed at Qin Xian. If he wished, she would give herself to him without hesitation.
Seeing her so compliant, Qin Xian felt a fleeting urge to toy with her. However, he quickly regained his composure. He knew well that the most important task at hand was dealing with Ye Xuan. As for Marika, there would be ample time to enjoy her later.
“Tell me, Marika, where did you send Ye Xuan?”
“He’s in the Empire’s treasury, my master.” Marika answered without the slightest hesitation, revealing Ye Xuan’s location immediately.
“He should be receiving the infusion of power from the Golden Pool there, allowing him to transform into a true Dragon God and greatly increase his strength.”
“By now, he has probably completed the transformation.” Marika’s face showed apprehension as she glanced nervously at Qin Xian, fearing punishment. “Master, would you like me to take you to the treasury?”
“No, we’re going back to the Pantheon.” Qin Xian’s eyes narrowed, his face tinged with a chill. Qin Li was in the Pantheon now, and Ye Xuan would undoubtedly go there to find her first.
The Ye family had been wiped out nearly twenty years ago. One last pest left to deal with—it’s time to finish this once and for all.
…
The Pantheon was already in a state of ruin. With the gods fallen and both Ye Xuan and Qin Xian transported away by Marika, the remaining human elites could only leave in silence.
Although they had yet to receive the blessing of the gods, what was the point? Qin Xian had practically slaughtered all the gods; there was no one left to grant blessings!
They also guessed that the Broken Heaven instance would likely become history. The final Void General boss was dead, and the ancient gods of the Pantheon had perished. Without divine blessings, the Broken Heaven instance would lose much of its significance and probably become just another large-scale dungeon.
As for Chu Junzhu, he seemed to have sensed something and hastily left the Pantheon. Inside the temple, only Qin Li remained, anxiously waiting for her brother, Qin Xian.
Qin Li stood expressionless, tightly clenching her hands. A glint of hatred flickered in her eyes. She despised her own weakness—unable to participate in her brother’s battles, unable to help him at all!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Li silently vowed to herself. She would grow stronger, by any means necessary!
At that moment, a towering figure appeared in the Pantheon, radiating immense majesty and accompanied by the resonant roar of a dragon, as if the Dragon God himself had descended.
Qin Li’s face lit up with joy, but it quickly shifted to wariness and hostility. “It’s you!”
“Yes, it’s me.” Ye Xuan’s figure gradually materialized.
He gazed at Qin Li warmly, his face brimming with excitement. He wanted nothing more than to embrace her tightly and shower her with kisses, his heart aching with the longing he felt for his sister.
Ironically, Ye Xuan’s evident excitement only filled Qin Li with disgust. If the man before her were Qin Xian, she would have been overjoyed. But unfortunately, Ye Xuan was not Qin Xian.
Seeing the cold indifference on Qin Li’s face, Ye Xuan quickly tried to explain, “Sister, I am your brother! We are blood siblings; we share the same blood!”
Hearing this, Qin Li’s brow furrowed tightly, and without hesitation, she used Death’s Bell on him. “Shut up! Who do you think is your sister?”
Qin Li’s heart surged with fury. To her, she was only Qin Xian’s sister. This stranger, appearing out of nowhere and suddenly claiming to be her brother, had touched her reverse scale—the one thing she could never forgive.
