"You've seen its power?"
Looking at the self-satisfied Roger, Qin Xuan couldn't help but curl the corner of his lips.
Yes, he had used the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact to attack people before, but he had only utilized the artifact's structure and never its power.
Now that his cultivation had improved and his vital energy was abundant, taking down this turtle shell of yours with a single shot wouldn't be easy, right?
With this thought, Qin Xuan aimed the muzzle at Roger's head, held his breath, and silently unleashed the power of the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact, which he had always kept as his trump card.
*Bang!*
The crisp gunshot instantly pierced the quiet night sky.
The previous second, Roger was still laughing heartily within his folded space. The next second, the so-called spatial shield he had created was shattered by Qin Xuan's shot.
Along with the spatial shield, his head, with only a few strands of hair left, also exploded.
The moment the gun fired, he didn't even have time to be shocked.
This was the power of the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact.
"Hoo!"
"I thought I could use the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact freely, but in the end, this shot still consumed one-third of my vital energy!"
Putting away the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact, Qin exhaled slightly, feeling a surge of excitement.
He had initially thought that with his improved cultivation and abundant vital energy, he could freely wield the power of the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact.
However, feeling the remaining vital energy in his body, he realized that this single shot had taken away a full third of his vital energy.
This was truly outrageous.
But the more it was like this, the happier Qin Xuan became.
Because this meant he was far from being able to use the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact at will, implying that the artifact's own power was unfathomable and had much more to be explored!
It made sense.
After all, it was personally brought out by his master, Dao Venerable Chen Xuan. It would be problematic if its power was weak.
After storing the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact, Qin took out a few more pills from it and swallowed them.
These were pills specifically for replenishing vital energy for martial cultivators, and they were also the rarest pills kept by the Niudu branch.
He had another major battle to fight, so he didn't bother with being frugal.
At the same time, Qin Xuan also asked Lucian to take Amy and Sophia away from here.
He didn't know how the upcoming battle would turn out, so letting them leave was definitely the most correct choice.
Speaking of Lucian, he hadn't actually defected voluntarily as Roger imagined.
On the contrary, when he was attacked, he was directly controlled by Qin Xuan using the Soul Control Technique.
As the name suggests, the Soul Control Technique was a method to directly control the souls of others.
It was a rather inhumane method of control. The user could use extremely powerful soul and mental power to directly control another person's thoughts and make them do anything.
Even self-harm or suicide was something the controlled person could not resist.
This was why Lucian appeared to obey Qin Xuan so readily.
It wasn't that he was willing, but that he had no way to resist.
As for why Qin Xuan chose to control Lucian, a high-level Grandmaster, instead of directly controlling Roger, it was because he needed Lucian's special abilities and excellent mind at the moment.
Otherwise, just the fact that Lucian was the leader of the Dark Web organization's assassins would have been enough to get him killed a hundred times over.
After adjusting his breathing, the King of Assassins, Qiemoxi, did not arrive as expected.
The longer he waited, the more solemn Qin Xuan's expression became.
Because the longer he waited, the stronger Qiemoxi might be.
This was because, according to the information Lucian had provided, Qiemoxi's abilities were very peculiar.
He could absorb superpowers and special abilities of any form.
So, when he first arrived, those responsible for intercepting him were all low-level Grandmasters.
Compared to subduing him, their role was more of cannon fodder.
And after they died, Qiemoxi could legitimately absorb this "freely dispersed" energy in the air.
From beginner Grandmaster to advanced Grandmaster.
Qin Xuan even suspected that Qiemoxi didn't care if Deputy Roger died.
Perhaps he hoped that Qin Xuan would kill all the people below, so that he could absorb nutrients to the greatest extent.
As for the Dark Web organization, in Qiemoxi's eyes, it was merely a tool for cultivating nutrients.
Now that he was close to perfection, he didn't care whether the Dark Web existed or not.
He just didn't know what level Qiemoxi would reach after absorbing the energy of these superhumans.
Demigod level?
Pseudo-god level?
Or, true god level?
If it were demigod level, it would be fine; he could handle it easily.
But if it reached pseudo-god level or even god level, it would likely be quite difficult to deal with.
Unable to figure it out, Qin Xuan didn't dwell on it.
He would have to face him sooner or later anyway. They would know his level after the fight.
After a long while.
In the quiet night sky, gentle breezes suddenly stirred.
From the direction of the factory, a faint light, like that of a firefly, drifted towards the ranch.
Qin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head towards the direction where the fireflies were flowing.
He saw the airflow surging there, gradually forming a swirling vortex of luminescence.
"Is that the special ability energy Lucian mentioned?!"
Special ability energy was different from vital energy. Qin Xuan could sense some of it but couldn't absorb it.
As the luminescence continued to gather and form rings of light, a powerful energy aura suddenly erupted.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan muttered a curse.
If Qiemoxi were allowed to absorb all the energy, he might truly be able to advance to the god level!
"No, I must find a way to stop him!"
Without hesitation, Qin Xuan transformed the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact back into a Barrett sniper rifle.
In the current situation, he couldn't get close.
His only hope was to unleash the power of the Myriad Transformation Divine Artifact itself and destroy the entire energy tornado.
He shouldered the rifle and aimed. The energy vortex was still being replenished with new points of light.
As time passed, the ground beneath Qin Xuan's feet also began to emit faint luminescence.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan knew he couldn't delay any longer.
He aimed at the center of the vortex and pulled the trigger.
*Pa!*
The deafening gunshot once again pierced the quiet night sky.
The energy-laden bullet rushed into the vortex almost the moment the shot was fired.
*Boom!*
A violent explosion surged into the sky.
The entire energy tornado fluctuated violently due to this explosion!
However, after a few minutes, the energy vortex gradually calmed down.
Energy continued to pour into the center of the vortex.
Until it shrank and dissipated.
*Boom!*
*Boom, boom, boom!*
As the last ray of luminescence dissipated within the ranch, a powerful energy fluctuation instantly emanated from the ruins of the ranch.
Qin Xuan, holding his sniper rifle, frowned. This energy was at least at the pseudo-god level!
*Stomp, stomp, stomp.*
As the energy burst completely subsided, a figure slowly emerged from the ruins.
Facing the moonlight, Qin Xuan looked at the figure.
He saw a handsome foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes, looking at him with a smile.
His appearance was very handsome, the typical ruggedly handsome type of foreigner.
But Qin Xuan's intuition told him that this man, like his master, was an old monster who had lived for at least a hundred years!
