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

The goal is right in front of us.

Beneath a sturdy ancient tree, a five-meter-long giant snake was coiled up, its body covered with fine scales, and nine bright red rings extending from its head to its tail, making it particularly eye-catching in the forest.

This was the highly venomous nine-ringed serpent he had been searching for, the strongest level one ferocious beast in the beginner plains, and the only ferocious beast that could extract energy attribute.

Upon closer inspection, he quickly noticed something amiss.

The nine-ringed snake's belly was swollen as if it were stuffed with a huge rock. It lay coiled on the ground, moving slowly, showing none of the agility of its kind.

Even more eye-catching was a half-foot-tall spiritual herb growing beside a small mound behind the giant snake. Its seven fan-shaped green leaves spread out, and at the top was a red fruit the size of a table tennis ball. The fragrance of the fruit wafted from there.

The nine-ringed snake stood guard directly in front of the red fruit, clearly protecting it.

The smile in Qin Dilin's eyes deepened, and he thought to himself that this fruit was no ordinary fruit, otherwise, given the ferocity of the nine-ringed serpent, it would not have guarded it so fiercely.

Today, I've managed to get some scarce energy and also stumbled upon a great opportunity for free; I've hit the jackpot.

He gripped his two knives tightly, exerting force with his knuckles, and silently approached, soon standing less than five meters away from the snake.

Just as he was about to seize the opportunity to strike, the nine-ringed snake, which had been coiled with its eyes closed, suddenly raised its head, its vertical pupils shrinking sharply, locking onto his hiding place and immediately noticing the intruder.

With his whereabouts exposed, Qin Dilin no longer concealed himself. His aura suddenly deepened, and he stomped his feet on the ground, his body shooting straight at the giant snake like an arrow released from a bow.

With the boost of his speed talent, his speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, even faster than the agile prairie wolves. In the blink of an eye, he leaves only a faint afterimage.

The nine-ringed serpent flew into a rage, letting out a sharp hiss, and its enormous head lunged forward, bringing a stench to the air.

Emperor Qin skillfully dodged the attack, easily avoiding a fatal blow, which gave him even more confidence.

The snake had food stuck in its belly, making it much slower than normal, and it was easy to deal with.

He moved close to the giant snake, giving it no chance to react. He flipped his wrist, and his twin blades flashed with cold light as he slashed fiercely at the snake's vital spot.

A series of crisp sounds rang out as more than a dozen hard snake scales shattered on the spot. The blade cut into the flesh, instantly revealing a deep wound that exposed bone.

In a single exchange, the strongest level one ferocious beast in the Novice Plains was easily killed by Qin Dilin.

He straightened up, let out a soft sigh, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

This fighting prowess comes not only from his strong physique, but also from his innate fighting talent.

Previously, his physical body was weak and his talents had nowhere to be displayed, but now that he has arrived in the trial world, they are being completely unleashed.

Before he could think any further, a white light emanated from the giant snake's corpse and surged directly into his body.

A warm current flowed through my limbs and bones, bringing indescribable comfort. At the same time, a system notification sounded in my mind, and the level panel appeared.

[Successfully killed a level 1 highly venomous nine-ringed snake, gaining +40 energy!]

[Level]: Level 1 (70/100)

Emperor Qin raised an eyebrow. Forty energy points were far more valuable than killing ferocious beasts like rats and rabbits.

At this rate, he only needs to kill one more level one ferocious beast to advance smoothly to level two. The path to leveling up is surprisingly easy for him.

He knew that if the other trial participants heard these words, it would surely cause an uproar.

At this beginner stage, the vast majority of people can't even fight a level one ferocious beast alone.

They can only barely survive by teaming up. You can't find another person like him who can solo a top-level level one ferocious beast in the entire newbie plain.

He strode over to the snake carcass and placed one hand on its cold body. A white light flashed again, and a system notification sounded.

[Endless extraction successful! Energy attribute increased by 2!]

With the scarce energy in hand, Emperor Qin was in high spirits, and his gaze turned to the swollen belly of the giant snake.

He knew that he was able to succeed so easily this time because the snake had food in its belly and was moving slowly. If he had encountered a nine-ringed snake in its normal state, he would have had to put in a lot more effort.

Driven by curiosity, he picked up the steel knife, endured the stench of the snake, and slowly cut downwards along the seven-inch wound.

As the blade fell, the snake's belly snapped open, revealing white, fleshy flesh. A human corpse, covered in viscous snake fluid, rolled straight out of the snake's belly.

Emperor Qin paused slightly, but was not overly shocked.

This world is a dog-eat-dog world, and it is common for trial participants to die tragically in the bellies of ferocious beasts. In just a few days, he had already become accustomed to life and death, and his mind had become much calmer.

He crouched down and placed his hand on the corpse. Although he had never had the talent to extract human remains before, he still decided to give it a try and activated Endless Extraction.

A moment later, the white light shone again, and system notifications popped up one after another. Qin Dilin's calm eyes instantly welled up with wild joy.

[Endless extraction successful! Second F-rank talent, Visual Enhancement, obtained!]

[Two talents have automatically stacked and strengthened! Your visual talent has been upgraded to the E-rank talent, Visual Superiority!]

[Visual Enhancement: Vision enhanced twentyfold, with night vision capability.]

[Talent evolution successful, automatically awakening the talent skill True Sight.]

[True Sight: Active skill, allows you to see the true nature of things.]

"I never expected such an opportunity." Emperor Qin chuckled softly, unable to hide his excitement.

He already possessed an F-level visual enhancement talent; for ordinary people, evolving their talent was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Not only are the conditions harsh, but they are also strictly limited by level. However, his endless extraction talent is heaven-defying. He can easily stack and evolve by extracting the same talent multiple times.

This time, not only was his visual talent directly upgraded to E-level, but he also unexpectedly awakened his exclusive active skill, which was truly an unexpected delight.

He suppressed his elation, turned to look at the crimson spirit fruit, and immediately activated his newly awakened True Sight Eye.

A pale blue light screen appeared before my eyes, clearly listing all the information about the spiritual fruit.

[Name]: Red Python Fruit

[Rank]: First-tier Spirit Fruit

[Efficacy]: Non-toxic; after consumption, it can enhance physical fitness and improve the body's resistance to toxins.

Without further hesitation, he walked straight towards the red python fruit, determined to seize this opportunity.

As Emperor Qin approached the Red Python Grass, its refreshing fruity fragrance filled his nostrils, causing all the pores on his body to open up and instantly dissipating most of the fatigue from days of traversing the beginner plains.

He was always decisive in his actions. He reached out and plucked the bright red spiritual fruit from the branch, then took a bite.

The flesh is soft and melts in your mouth, with a sweet and refreshing aroma that explodes on your tongue. It lacks the bitterness often found in wild herbs and tastes even better than ordinary wild fruits.

In just a few bites, he finished the entire red python fruit, leaving not even the pit.

The moment the spiritual fruit entered his stomach, a warm current flowed through his meridians and spread throughout his body, making him feel warm and swollen. A faint, strengthening, and sore sensation emanated from beneath his skin and flesh, and his physique was rapidly improving.

Once the surging energy had completely merged into his flesh and blood, two clear system notification sounds rang out directly in his mind.

[Completed consuming Red Python Fruit, Constitution +8]

[Resistance to Poison +100%]

A look of surprise flashed in Emperor Qin's eyes, and he inwardly gasped in astonishment.

This Red Python Fruit is indeed a good thing; adding eight points to my constitution in one go is already amazing.

It also maxes out the poison resistance attribute, making it a treasure trove for beginners, a hundred times more cost-effective than hunting three or five ordinary ferocious beasts.
