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

Emperor Qin muttered to himself, "It's all right, it's all right," and finally felt more confident.

He took out a cloth bag from his storage ring, opened it and saw a sticky mess. It was the venom gland that the novice had removed when killing a highly venomous ten-ringed snake in the plains, and there was still quite a bit left.

He chuckled, spread the venom evenly on the tip and blade of his knife, rubbed his hands on it, and wanted these giant elephants to taste the feeling of being chilled as soon as they touched it.

After getting ready, Qin Dilin crouched down again, using the waist-high weeds as cover, and stealthily made his way towards the elephant herd.

Instead of choosing the closest one, he specifically picked the giant elephant that was furthest from the herd and looked dull-witted.

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, his steps were as light as a cat stealing fish, his breathing was extremely shallow, for fear of startling the other person.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already reached the giant elephant, only five meters away.

The giant elephant kept its head down, using its trunk to scoop up herbs and stuff them into its mouth, chewing them with relish, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Emperor Qin held his breath and moved closer step by step, five meters, four meters, three meters.

Just a second before he was about to make his move, the giant elephant suddenly stopped, turned its head to look at him, and stared at him with eyes as wide as copper bells, presumably because it had heard the noise.

Qin Di cursed his bad luck inwardly, but his hands did not stop. With a flash of cold light, the steel knife slashed straight at the giant elephant's throat.

With a soft splatter, blood splattered all over Qin Dilin's face.

The giant elephant made a strange gurgling sound from its throat, trying to roar but unable to make a sound. Its throat was cut open, and blood gushed out. Its pupils instantly dilated.

It swayed its massive body, its legs buckled, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud, without even struggling.

A notification sounded immediately: "Slay a level 12 berserk mammoth and gain 610 energy points."

A beam of white light emerged from the elephant corpse and entered Qin Dilin's body, feeling warm as if he had drunk a cup of hot water.

He glanced at the upgrade progress; his level had surged to 7. He couldn't help but grin and praise, as it was more than he had expected.

He looked up at the elephant herd, and good heavens, those idiots were still grazing with their heads down, not a single one of them looked up.

Emperor Qin breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and secretly rejoiced that he hadn't been exposed; this sneak attack was textbook-perfect.

He strode forward and launched an endless extraction attack on the elephant carcass.

The notification sounded again: Endless Extraction Successful, and E-Rank Physique Enhancement Granted Once More.

The two talents automatically stacked and strengthened, evolving... but ultimately the evolution failed, and the physical talent remained at level E.

Qin Dilin's face darkened, and he almost cursed out loud, "What the hell? We were just one breath away from victory!"

He shook his head, not dwelling on it, there were plenty of opportunities. He turned around and crouched down to reach for another lone giant elephant.

A short while later, he reached out to another giant elephant and used the same trick again.

With a flash of light, and a soft thud, the giant elephant silently collapsed to the ground.

Emperor Qin attempted to extract the resource again, and this time the notification sound finally confirmed his wish: the extraction was successful.

Having once again obtained the E-level talent of physique enhancement, the two stacked enhancements successfully evolved, and the physique talent was promoted to D-level physique berserk.

Emperor Qin was so amused that he almost burst out laughing, and quickly covered his mouth.

It's done! I've finally evolved to D-rank! All four attributes and talents are D-rank, there are no more weaknesses, and my strength has quietly increased again.

After his initial excitement, Emperor Qin put aside his thoughts and continued his sneak attack.

Giant elephants are inherently stupid; as long as he is cautious enough, he will not be discovered at all.

Before long, the third giant elephant also fell, and we even extracted 2 points of physical attributes, which was icing on the cake.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Dilin, like a ghost, secretly slaughtered eight lone giant elephants, steadily increasing his level-up progress.

Looking around the field, there were no lone elephants left; they were either grazing in clumps or gathered in small groups, all of them quite alert.

Emperor Qin squinted and scanned the area, finally fixing his gaze on the two giant elephants on the outer edge of the herd.

Those two are so close, like conjoined twins, even closer than lovers; they're definitely a couple.

He was worried; this was troublesome. Killing one would only alarm the next, and might even alert the entire elephant herd. But he had no other choice; he couldn't go back empty-handed.

He took a deep breath, lowered his body again, and, using the grass as cover, stealthily made his way toward the two giant elephants stuck together.

Fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters...

Qin Dilin's figure was pressed very low in the grass, his breathing was as light as a breeze, and every step he took was made without making a sound.

Ten meters, seven meters, four meters.

In the blink of an eye, he was right next to the two mammoths. His heart skipped a beat; the timing was perfect.

The giant elephant on the left, holding a tuft of herbs, affectionately fed them to the elephant on the right. The elephant on the right chewed with its eyes closed, completely absorbed and utterly unsuspecting.

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Qin's eyes: Now is the time.

Swish

The blade flashed like lightning, slicing straight through the left side of the mammoth's throat.

puff!

Blood spurted out, spraying all over the face of the person on the right.

The mammoth had just opened its eyes when it saw the gruesome sight of its kin spitting blood. It was about to roar...

Swish!

Another slash pierced the air.

"Ugh...coo, coo coo..."

The roaring sound was abruptly cut off; its trachea was severed, leaving only strange bubbles churning in its throat. Its eyes widened, it staggered two steps, its pupils dilated, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

bang

The earth trembled.

The commotion was small, but enough to make the nearby elephant herd raise their heads.

The Qin Emperor had calculated his position early on, crouching down next to the first elephant corpse. The waist-high weeds completely covered him, making him invisible at a glance.

But when the wind blew, the smell of blood spread.

The elephants twitched their trunks, instantly recognizing the blood of their own kind.

Looking at the two strangely lying elephant carcasses on the ground, it was immediately clear that something had happened.

hold head high!

A mammoth guard roared and led five giant elephants straight at them.

Buzz, buzz

Two beams of white light shone from the elephant corpse and went straight into the body of Emperor Qin.

[Slaying a level 12 berserk mammoth grants +610 energy.]

[Slaying a level 12 berserk mammoth grants +610 energy.]

The guard's gaze sharpened, locking onto the point where the white light would land.

It can't be hidden anymore.

Emperor Qin cursed under his breath, then leaped into the bushes.

hold head high!

The guard roared and chased after them, only to catch a glimpse of a dark figure disappearing into the grass.

Strange! Something's definitely wrong!

It galloped off with its giant hooves, followed closely by five others. The main force of the herd was far away and only saw chaos. They didn't react in time, but they were all on edge.

Moments later, the guards and the Five Elephants rushed to the scene and saw the two corpses in the pool of blood. They were immediately enraged.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

A mournful roar shook the heavens.

The general, accompanied by the Five Elephants, pursued Qin Emperor Lin in a frenzied chase.

The tragic deaths of our clansmen must be paid for with human lives!

The elephant herd was completely alarmed.

The guard let out a furious roar to deliver the message. The elephant king was filled with grief and indignation upon hearing it. He looked up to the sky and roared, the sound waves shaking the grassland. He slowly approached the scene.

On the other side, Qin Dilin darted wildly through the bushes, moving so fast that he was just a blur.

A series of loud rumbling sounds echoed behind us.

boom! boom! boom!

Six mammoths, like six moving hills, their hooves shaking the ground, were chasing relentlessly.

Emperor Qin glanced back and immediately exclaimed in disbelief.

These big guys run faster than rabbits, and their speed isn't much slower than his!

They really went all out.

But he smiled instead, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
