Before the tentacles could squirm and connect the two halves of the mangled corpse, Qin Shou shot forth from the void once again, his battle axe crackling with streaks of black lightning, and struck down with a deafening roar.
"BOOM!!"
A thunderous explosion echoed across Mars, and the remnants of the creature instantly crumbled into ash.
Yet again, the system's notification sound did not appear.
"Still not dead?"
Shouldering the battle axe, Qin Shou's eyes widened in astonishment.
Even an undead monster reduced to ashes shouldn't be able to retain its vitality.
This ability far surpassed the blood-rebirth techniques of mystical powers by leaps and bounds.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Suddenly, the ashes in the sky rapidly condensed into a gigantic flower bud.
The bud began to bloom, radiating brilliant light that filled the heavens and the earth. Interwoven fangs emerged from within, releasing endless strands of golden pollen to impair Qin Shou's vision.
"The Flower God?"
Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, then raised his battle axe and struck downward furiously. Dark energy spread wildly, causing the golden pollen to vanish in an instant.
However, at that moment, the Flower God fell onto the ground, its form sinking swiftly.
"Interesting!"
Qin Shou smirked faintly. Each transformation from this entity seemed weaker than the last; he was genuinely curious about what it would eventually become.
The battle axe flew forward, countless spatial fractures engulfed the Flower God, and the endless ashes surged and transformed into a dense swarm of black tentacle monsters.
Death Tentacles!
"Come again!"
Qin Shou darted into the cluster of tentacles. A terrifying energy burst erupted, condensing all the ashes in the sky into a colossal black gorilla that scrambled to flee.
"Buzz!"
Qin Shou flashed through the void and stood in the way of the massive black gorilla.
The massive black gorilla wasn't King Kong but another beastly variant of a gorilla monster.
Though incredibly powerful, its capabilities had degenerated to the Nightmare Level, making Qin Shou capable of pulverizing it to dust with just his fist without the need for his battle axe.
As the ashes repeatedly experienced "rebirth," morphing into various kinds of monsters, time passed, and Qin Shou's energy light on his chest began to flicker.
"Beep beep beep..."
The flashing of the red warning light prompted Qin Shou to exit his giant form and switch to the Emperor Armor.
Without the dark cells in the Dark Giant form, Qin Shou ran the risk of being assimilated by dark energy.
But now the situation had changed—the unidentified monster had regressed into a Nightmare Seven Stars-level Flying Mantis, a being that could easily be crushed with a single finger.
"Screech screech..."
With one swing of his sword, Qin Shou slayed the Flying Mantis, whose green blood wriggled as a shadowy figure emerged before Qin Shou.
Qin Shou placed his long sword against the person's neck, mocking coldly, "What in the world are you?"
The man's face turned sullen as he stammered, "Spare my life, name your price."
"Slash!"
With a flick of his wrist, Qin Shou sent the man's head flying.
Another unfamiliar human face regenerated right before his eyes.
"So that man earlier still wasn't your true form!" Qin Shou smirked faintly.
The regenerated human was now a charming young girl.
"Qin Shou, name your conditions. Would a hundred thousand Constant Star Energy Crystals suffice?" the girl asked, gritting her teeth.
Qin Shou shook his head. "Tempting offer, but compared to a hundred thousand Constant Star Energy Crystals, I'm more curious about who—or what—you truly are!"
With that, Qin Shou split the girl in half with his sword, her familiar face reappearing before him.
"Liu Yifeng?"
Qin Shou raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you supposed to have disappeared alongside Zeus Group's Beast Godmasters?"
Back on Dragon Island, Liu Yifeng had been a prominent figure as the leader of the Western Dragon Island.
In pursuit of Cosmic Creature Metal, Liu Yifeng even sent Liu Wushuang, disguised as Leng Wanbai, to infiltrate Qin Shou's inner circle as a spy.
Liu Yifeng opened his mouth to speak, but before uttering a word, Qin Shou cleaved him into two halves with his sword.
Clearly, Liu Yifeng still wasn't the true form.
In the next moment, Liu Wushuang's visage regenerated.
"Qin Shou, stop now..."
"Slash..."
Without hesitation, Liu Wushuang fell victim to Qin Shou's ruthless sword strike.
Following this, an increasing number of "humans" continued to regenerate before Qin Shou, dying and reviving again and again under his blade. A sense of unease began to creep into Qin Shou's heart.
Most of these individuals were the missing Beast Godmasters from Zeus Group, now inexplicably appearing one by one to die and resurrect here.
He started picking up on something unusual.
Lost in thought, Qin Shou casually swung his sword and struck down the "Ma Jia" before him, unleashing an unparalleled surge of energy.
Supreme Being!
"Qin Shou, come and fuse with me!"
The middle-aged man bellowed. Strange and mysterious energy suddenly enveloped Qin Shou.
"Buzz!!"
A dazzling Golden Light erupted. The Light Giant appeared once more.
"Bang!!"
The massive fist crashed against the bizarre energy barrier, rippling its surface.
The man sneered, staring at the energy light still flickering on the chest of the giant.
"Give it up, Qin Shou. In your current state, you cannot escape my control!"
The man laughed maniacally as the strange energy barrier poured into the giant's body, beginning to siphon off its boundless Light Energy.
Qin Shou's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "If this is indeed your true form, then tell me—who are you?"
The man bore a smug grin of confidence. As he extracted Light Energy from the giant, his body began to glow with white Light Energy, gradually morphing into a spectral image of a giant.
"Me? I am Zeus Group's Supreme Being—Yuan!" Yuan proclaimed with a laugh.
"Yuan?"
Qin Shou rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "As a Supreme Being, how did you end up transforming into a monster?"
Yuan, sensing the ever-increasing Light Energy within him and his expanding form, grew exhilarated. Keeping nothing hidden, he decided to answer.
"Qin Shou, as you are moments away from merging with me, allow me to enlighten you before you perish!"
Yuan let out a sinister laugh, his eyes hazy with nostalgia as he delved into his memories.
...
Yuan was once an unremarkable Beast Tamer on Earth.
Years of relentless hard work and life-threatening battles finally earned him his breakthrough to the Unbreakable Realm at age forty-nine, solidifying his position as a pillar of strength on Earth.
A forty-nine-year-old Unbreakable Realm strongman wasn't old, but it also hinted at his relatively limited talent.
If nothing unexpected occurred, he might at most advance to Unbreakable Realm Three Stars, only to halt due to the constraints of his potential.
