The so-called pseudo-god level meant that the body possessed god-level strength, but the spirit did not have a corresponding realm.
Without being able to fully utilize his own power, it was naturally impossible to reach true god-level combat strength.
Therefore, if calculated solely by level, pseudo-god level actually belonged to the semi-god level category.
However, because the strength of the pseudo-god level was too formidable, far beyond what ordinary semi-god level beings could compare to, the superhumans convened a meeting and decided to add this designation.
Qiemoxi was currently at such a level.
After absorbing all the energy of his subordinates, his strength would basically reach the standard of a god-level.
It was just that because his abilities had improved too rapidly, his realm could not keep up with the increase in his level, thus getting stuck in this rather awkward state.
But it didn't matter.
Similar to superhumans who normally advanced to god-level.
He only needed to gradually catch up his realm in subsequent cultivation, and he would naturally become a true god-level.
However, before he went into seclusion to meditate and improve his realm, he had one more thing to do.
That was to deal with an annoying little bug.
Qiemoxi detested others killing his subordinates.
Especially in front of him.
Therefore, to avenge his subordinates, this Qin Xuan had to die today.
Without a word, Qiemoxi casually condensed an energy sphere and hurled it at Qin Xuan.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan transformed his spear into a shield and directly blocked in front of himself.
Crack, boom—!
The light sphere exploded.
Powerful energy diffused from within the sphere.
The ground where Qin Xuan had been standing was instantly blasted into a large pit, and Qin Xuan himself was sent flying dozens of meters by the impact of the explosion!
"Pfft!"
"Cough, cough!"
Spitting out the dirt that had entered his mouth, Qin Xuan's expression became solemn.
Because judging solely by energy control, this fellow in front of him was only slightly inferior to Master and the others.
If he wanted to fight the other party head-on, he would have no chance of winning.
"In that case, I can only take it one step at a time."
"Only through battle can I truly see if he has any weaknesses!"
Recognizing the situation, Qin Xuan's gaze sharpened, and his mind began to spin frantically.
Although the gap between them was indeed too obvious, he had no intention of giving up now.
Firstly, if he gave up directly, he definitely wouldn't live to see the dawn.
Secondly, he also didn't believe that he couldn't fight him.
Wasn't he just a pseudo-god level?
If pushed, I'll even slaughter gods for you to see!
Gritting his teeth, Qin Xuan picked up the Shapeshifting Divine Artifact and transformed it back into a Gatling gun.
He pulled the trigger, and hundreds of thousands of bullets rained down like a torrential downpour towards Qiemoxi.
"Heh, a mere trifle."
"Spatial Shield."
Seeing Qin Xuan's seemingly exasperated demeanor, Qiemoxi sneered and gently swiped forward with his right hand.
A formless spatial wall appeared before him.
This was the spatial defense shield used by Roger, and the one Qiemoxi had deployed was clearly more robust than Roger's.
"The penetration power is insufficient. It seems ordinary attacks are ineffective against him."
Seeing all his bullets bounce off the defense shield, Qin Xuan stopped his futile firing.
He transformed his spear into a sword, flashed his body, and prepared to launch a sneak attack from behind Qiemoxi.
However, the idea was good, but the execution was too difficult.
As his figure reached Qiemoxi's back, an invisible pressure instantly slowed his speed to an extreme.
The Shapeshifting Divine Artifact in his hand felt like a heavy mountain, and even his body became difficult to move.
"Not good, this is hundredfold gravity!"
Feeling his current state, Qin Xuan immediately recognized the type of superpower the other party was using.
Without even turning his head, Qiemoxi used an extremely powerful energy fluctuation to blast Qin Xuan away.
This was not the end.
As Qin Xuan flew ten meters away from Qiemoxi's back, a powerful telekinetic force instantly controlled his body.
He was lifted upwards, slowly ascending into the air.
Before Qin Xuan could use his mental power to break free from this telekinetic force, countless pieces of steel and stone flew from the factory ruins, squeezing him tightly in the middle, rendering him unable to move.
"How is it? Do you feel the power of a god?"
"Do you know now how great a sin it is to interrupt a god's ascension?"
After Qin Xuan stopped moving, Qiemoxi slowly turned his head and walked towards Qin Xuan.
However, with each step he took, his body would rise higher.
Until finally, he was completely walking on air, level with Qin Xuan.
"Look at you, pathetic and weak."
"As for me, I have already advanced to a realm that ordinary people can never reach in their lifetime."
"Die."
"Become my first sacrifice as a god."
"Rest assured, I will also take good care of those two lovely young girls for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiemoxi slowly clenched his right hand in the void.
As his palm gradually formed a fist, the sphere of ruins, compressed by numerous debris, also began to shrink.
Then, after the sphere of ruins had shrunk to a certain extent, a violent energy was injected into it by Qiemoxi.
Boom—!
A massive explosion instantly blew the sphere of ruins into pieces.
Qin Xuan's body, like other scattered rocks, was blasted far away.
"Cough, cough, pfft!"
Shortly after the explosion, Qin Xuan's voice suddenly came from the dirt in the distance.
He first gasped for air, finding his nose and mouth filled with dirt, then spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft."
Qiemoxi was slightly stunned, "He's still not dead?"
He clearly hadn't expected Qin Xuan to survive even after being in such a state.
After all, Qiemoxi's previous attack was something that even an ordinary semi-god level expert could not withstand.
Yet, this Qin Xuan had endured it.
Although severely injured, he appeared to be still some distance from death.
This would not do.
In his eyes, Qin Xuan had to die today.
Not only because he had to fulfill an order and avenge his subordinates, but more importantly, he needed the other party's mutant energy to replenish his own energy and stabilize his realm.
As mentioned earlier, Qin Xuan's shot had actually interrupted his advancement.
Not only that, but it had also caused him some internal injuries.
However, in order not to waste the nutrients of his subordinates, which he had painstakingly cultivated, allowing them to gradually dissipate into the air.
Qiemoxi had no choice but to endure the internal injuries and absorb all the energy first.
But this brought him two problems.
The first was, naturally, absorbing too much energy and his realm not keeping up.
Although Qiemoxi's current level had reached pseudo-god level, his true realm was actually even lower than that of an ordinary pseudo-god level.
The second was the drain from his internal injuries.
The internal injuries caused by Qin Xuan's shot were constantly consuming his energy.
This was why he was so eager to finish the fight quickly.
Furthermore, in Qiemoxi's view, Qin Xuan was also a mutant with multiple superpowers.
If he could also obtain his energy and abilities, perhaps he could repair his internal injuries or elevate his realm to pseudo-god level.
