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

He turned to look at the red python grass beside him.

The once thriving spiritual herb quickly withered after losing its spiritual fruit; its seven fan-shaped green leaves curled slightly, their edges turning yellowish, and its vitality rapidly diminished.

Emperor Qin raised his brow slightly, activating the True Sight Eye in his eyes to scan the dying spiritual herb.

【Name: Red Python Grass】

[Description: A type of spiritual herb, it grows one leaf per year, takes seven years to grow all seven leaves, and then takes another seven years to develop a red python fruit]

【Characteristics: The plant withers immediately after the red python fruit is harvested and rots completely within a few days, making it unsuitable for transplanting and cultivation】

Upon reading the description, Emperor Qin chuckled. This spiritual herb was indeed fierce, bearing fruit only once in its lifetime. Once the fruit fell, the herb withered without hesitation.

As a result, the red python fruit cannot be cultivated artificially, its wild population is extremely small, and its miraculous effects are therefore understandable.

He stroked his chin with his fingertips, a thought suddenly occurring to him:

This herb absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for fourteen years before bearing spiritual fruit. Even if the spiritual fruit is picked, the plant must still retain some essence, so it would be a pity to throw it away.

Emperor Qin raised his hand, gently placing his palm on the stems and leaves of the Red Python Grass, secretly activating his innate talent for endless extraction.

The next instant, a faint white light appeared in his palm, and gentle energy slowly spread out.

The red python grass in front of me withered rapidly, its leaves curled up and turned black, its stems withered and shriveled, and in just a few seconds it turned into a clump of black, withered grass dust, and its spiritual energy completely dissipated.

He withdrew his hand, revealing a small ball of emerald green liquid in his palm. A refreshing herbal fragrance wafted over him, even purer than the scent of the red python fruit.

[Endless extraction successful, obtaining the essence of the spiritual herb]

【Spiritual Herb Essence: Formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it can slightly improve one's physical constitution when consumed】

"It wasn't a waste of effort after all," Emperor Qin chuckled softly.

With a deep breath, the palm-shaped spiritual liquid went straight into my throat, filling my mouth with a refreshing herbal scent. In an instant, it transformed into a gentle stream of air that flowed into my body, leaving me feeling indescribably comfortable.

[Consuming the essence of the spiritual herb is complete; Constitution +2]

[Combat strength assessment upgraded to the 2-star limit]

Upon hearing the notification, Qin Dilin's smile deepened, and he immediately opened the attribute panel to take a closer look.

Name: Qin Dilin

[Level: 1 (70/100)]

[Strength: 20 Accompanying Talent: Strength Berserk D-rank]

[Agility: 21 with bonus talent: Speed ​​Enhancement E-rank]

[Constitution: 28 Additional Attribute: 100% Poison Resistance]

[Energy: 32 Additional Talents: Visual Enhancement (E-rank), Olfactory Enhancement (F-rank)]

[Innate Talent: Endless Extraction (SSS Rank)]

[Skill: Eye of True Sight]

[Combat Strength Assessment: 2-Star Limit]

After reviewing the data, Emperor Qin was overjoyed.

He had already figured out the secrets of talent.

Talent is divided into two categories.

First, there are four basic talents: strength, agility, physique, and energy.

Secondly, it's due to one's own rare and special talent.

He currently possesses three basic talents, but lacks only a physical-related exclusive talent.

But this 100% poison resistance attribute is far more practical than ordinary basic talents; you won't find another opportunity like it in the entire beginner plains.

What pleased him even more was that although the panel's combat power was marked as a 2-star limit, after fully activating the talent buffs,

His true combat strength is comparable to that of a 4-star cultivator, and even approaches the limit of 4-star.

Now, if he were to fight three or four level 1 ferocious beasts alone, he would have a full chance of winning and would not be afraid at all.

Emperor Qin weighed the steel sword in his hand; the blade gleamed coldly. He muttered to himself.

"This is a huge win. Once I find another highly venomous nine-ringed snake carcass, I can leave the beginner plains and find stronger ferocious beasts to train against."

He had just turned around when he suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on the ground beside him, his eyebrows slightly raised.

A series of messy footprints were imprinted on the soil, with a wide skid mark next to them.

The bushes along the way were trampled and bent over, with broken branches and leaves, clearly the tracks left by a large snake, stretching all the way towards the depression in the distance.

A playful glint flashed in Qin Dilin's eyes. He immediately slowed his pace, lowered his body, and quietly followed the trail, remaining silent and not making a sound the entire time.

A quarter of an hour later, he reached the edge of the depression and vaguely heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from below. The roars of ferocious beasts and the shouts of humans were intertwined, making it extremely noisy.

Qin Dilin immediately crouched down and hid in the dense bushes, cautiously peering through the gaps in the branches and leaves at the center of the fight. Upon seeing it, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

In the center of the depression, seven cultivators formed a circle, working together to attack a thick, giant snake covered in colorful rings. The snake's body twisted wildly, splattering venom everywhere; it was the highly venomous nine-ringed snake that he had been searching for.

The cultivators were already exhausted from the fight, their moves were becoming increasingly chaotic, and their breathing was becoming more and more unstable.

Qin Dilin silently gripped the steel knife in his hand, a hint of certainty flashing in his eyes. He had searched high and low without finding it, but it had come to him effortlessly. The corpse of the nine-ringed snake had delivered itself to his doorstep.

As his euphoria subsided, Emperor Qin glanced across the battlefield. The human side had already gained a decisive advantage, and the ferocious beasts had no chance of turning the tide.

His gaze swept across the bustling crowd, then suddenly paused, locking onto a figure within the crowd.

The young man was no more than twenty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features, exuding a heroic air.

Qin Dilin recognized him; this person was Lei Jue, one of the few D-level talent awakeners in the beginner village, whose awakened talent was lightning manipulation.

In the entire beginner village, only seventeen people have awakened D-level talents. Wang Qiang died early on in the jaws of ferocious beasts, and now only sixteen people remain, Lei Jue being one of them.

His lightning manipulation is outstanding among D-level talents, making him extremely popular among newbies. He has a large following of admirers and is a true legend in the newbie village.

Lei Jue had previously assembled an eight-person team to go out of the village for training.

Now there are only seven players left on the field. They had just lost a teammate and had no time to grieve before being entangled by this highly venomous nine-ringed snake and caught in a fierce battle.

The Qin Emperor sat in the shadows, arms crossed, watching the show without any intention of intervening. He simply observed the back-and-forth struggle in silence.

A pale blue halo appeared in Lei Jue's palm, and a rough current of electricity shot out, slamming hard into the highly venomous nine-ringed snake coiled on the ground.

The giant snake, as thick as half a person, trembled violently.

Its scales stood on end slightly, and its massive body froze in place, unable to move. Its originally fierce and imposing aura instantly dissipated by more than half.

Even its tongue became weak and powerless; this single attack severely damaged it.

Upon seeing this, the six teammates behind him immediately gripped their rusty beginner's short knives and rushed forward to slash wildly around the snake's body.

The blade struck the thick, hard scales, producing a series of crisp, clanging sounds.

Sparks flew everywhere through the gaps in the scales, and the snake's body was covered with dense white marks, but they could not break through the defenses at all; at most, they were just scratching the giant snake's itch.

Such an attack could not damage the giant snake's foundation, but it caused it excruciating pain.

As soon as the numbness dissipated, the giant snake abruptly turned its massive head, its scarlet eyes fixed on the six people hacking wildly behind it, its gaping maw slightly open.

A strong killing intent surged forth, and it looked like he was about to tear these annoying little guys to shreds.
