Battle for Supremacy Across Realms: From Novice Village to Lord of the Gods

Qin Dilin gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, slowed his pace, and scanned his surroundings warily. Only after confirming that there were no ferocious beasts roaming nearby did he cautiously move forward.

They hadn't gone far when a corpse lay before them—it was Wang Qiang, who had died a horrible death.

His chest was caved in, and his abdomen was ripped open by the beast's claws, exposing his internal organs. The scene was so bloody and gruesome that an ordinary person would vomit on the spot just by looking at it.

Qin Dilin felt a slight tightness in his chest, a sense of unease creeping over him, but he gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure the churning in his stomach and the pungent smell of blood.

He walked slowly to the body and gently placed his hand on Wang Qiang's body.

With a soft hum, a gentle white light emanated from the palm, and faint energy fluctuations instantly spread out.

[Endless Extraction Successful, Obtained D-Rank Talent: Power Frenzy.]

Qin Dilin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he almost burst out laughing, feeling incredibly satisfied.

With their power going berserk, this is a huge win!

Unable to contain his elation, he immediately opened the talent panel to check.

The talent bar, which originally only had SSS-level endless extraction, has indeed added a new line of content.

[Talent] Endless Extraction (SSS Rank), Power Frenzy (D Rank)

[Power Frenzy] A strength-based talent that, when triggered, directly triples your strength.

Qin Dilin secretly calculated that his original base strength was only 8 points, but after activating Power Berserk...

It soared directly to 24 points, definitely the ceiling of combat power among newbies, with an astonishing increase in strength.

"So this is how I use my SSS-level talent. It's truly heaven-defying."

He instantly felt confident about his future survival. Then he thought about it again and realized that it was not surprising that Wang Qiang had been defeated by a level 1 ferocious beast.

This person has brute strength but is extremely slow and has poor defense. His weaknesses are too obvious, and he has no chance of winning against a ferocious beast in a one-on-one fight.

This also served as a reminder to Emperor Qin that in order to survive, he had to develop in a balanced way and not have any fatal weaknesses.

As he was pondering this, Emperor Qin caught a glimpse of a wild animal carcass lying in the grass a dozen meters away.

He immediately walked over and, upon closer inspection, recognized it as the Bloodfang Rabbit, the Level 1 ferocious beast that had killed Wang Qiang.

This rabbit is 1.5 meters long.

Its gray fur was disheveled, two blood-red fangs stood out starkly, and half of its head had been hacked off.

It was clearly beaten to death by the crowd that arrived later, becoming the first result of the group's monster-hunting campaign.

Qin Dilin paid no attention to these things and quickly stepped forward, placing his palm on the Bloodfang Rabbit's corpse once again.

A flash of white light appeared again, and a gentle energy flowed into my body through my palm. My whole body felt warm, my muscles were slightly sore, and my strength noticeably increased.

[Endless extraction successful, gaining 2 points of base Strength attribute.]

"This is awesome!" Qin Dilin couldn't help but exclaim.

His basic strength increased to 10 points, just reaching the standard for a normal adult.

With the addition of triple strength berserk mode, it truly possesses 30 points of strength, making it easy to deal with low-level ferocious beasts.

He suddenly had a thought and wanted to try extracting the corpse repeatedly. He immediately activated his talent again, but the next second, the notification sound poured cold water on him.

[Endless extraction failed.]

[Reminder: Targets below level 20 can only be successfully extracted once. Once the limit is reached, extraction will not be possible again.]

"I see. I was too greedy." Emperor Qin nodded in understanding, not discouraged at all. Getting so many benefits at once was already a huge profit.

The most important thing right now is to continue finding new corpses to extract profits.

A thought flashed through his mind: more than two hundred teams set out in a grand procession, and they must have hunted down many ferocious beasts along the way, with their corpses scattered everywhere.

By following their route, you can easily find hidden gems, which is much more cost-effective than going it alone to find ferocious beasts. It's a guaranteed way to level up effortlessly.

Thinking of this, Qin Dilin turned back to Wang Qiang's corpse and picked up the novice dagger that the other had dropped.

Everyone has one of these, and everyone treats them as waste, not worth throwing away. But in his hands, even the most ordinary objects can be turned into treasures.

Emperor Qin's fingertips traced the rusty blade, and a white light emanated from his palm, urging the endless extraction.

[Endless extraction successful. Rust and impurities have been removed from the surface of the beginner's short knife. The beginner's short knife has been upgraded to a fine steel knife.]

[Fine Steel Blade] Tier 1 equipment, attack power +5, sharpness greatly improved.

"Not bad, not bad, another handy piece of equipment."

Emperor Qin Lin played with the brand-new steel sword, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

The feeling of picking off the scumbags and making a comeback, steadily getting stronger, is really exhilarating.

He held a fine steel knife in each hand, glanced at the ground, and saw more than a dozen footprints of varying depths extending in different directions, all left by the team.

After a moment's thought, Emperor Qin chose the route with the densest footprints and the most people, and quickly followed.

The saying "many hands make light work" is true, but in his case, it should be changed to "more people means more monsters to kill, making it easier for me to loot the corpses."

Following the main force, there's no shortage of corpses to collect; this is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Just as Emperor Qin took three steps, the mechanical voice of the Heavenly Announcement suddenly rang in his ears without warning. He paused, slightly startled.

[Announcement: New player Li Yue has been killed by a level 1 ferocious beast, the Giant Gnawing Rat!]

He raised an eyebrow slightly; this was the second person to fail during the novice stage.

They were clearly traveling as a group; even if they couldn't defeat the ferocious beast, escaping shouldn't have been difficult for them.

The fact that the team was instantly killed proves that they encountered a ferocious beast that was not easy to deal with.

Emperor Qin rubbed the hilts of the two swords at his waist with his fingertips, quickly reviewing the extraction rules from before.

Extracting the novice Wang Qiang, he obtained an exclusive talent ability; killing a level 1 Bloodfang Rabbit only earned him two strength attribute points, without seeing a trace of the talent.

The logic is crystal clear: Level 1 ferocious beasts are of low level, lack special talents, and rely solely on brute force to rampage. Extracting them can only exchange them for attribute points.

Human novices are different; everyone carries awakened talents, and this opportunity is far more valuable than a few attribute points.

Having figured this out, Emperor Qin immediately changed course, choosing the most secluded and sparsely marked paths in the forest.

While others fear that off-the-beaten-path routes may be dangerous, he deliberately ventures into such places. Accidents are more likely to happen in secluded areas, but it's also easier to find opportunities that others miss.

The novices were scattered throughout the woods, and he didn't have time to track them all down. He decided to take a gamble using this approach, as the odds of success were very high.

He gripped his twin swords tightly and sped briskly toward the location indicated in the announcement, having already calculated the consequences in his mind; this trip would definitely not be in vain.

They hadn't gone far when the Heavenly Announcement sounded again, its tone icy, but its contents made their hearts clench even tighter.

[Announcement: New player Zhou Cheng has been killed by a level 1 ferocious beast, the Giant Gnawing Rat!]

Emperor Qin paused again, this time truly surprised. Two people in succession had died at the hands of the same giant rat; clearly, they had perished in the same place.

That squad was probably completely crushed, with no chance of breaking through.

An ordinary novice would have turned tail and run away long ago upon seeing this.

The level 1 ferocious beast has a combat power rating of 3 stars, while he only has a 1-star combat power. A head-on confrontation would be suicide.

But Qin Dilin looked at the shadows in the forest and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought in danger. Without venturing into dangerous places, how can one obtain opportunities that others cannot take away?

Only those who are afraid of death hide in safe zones; he is not that kind of person.
