The intense energy coalesced into extreme heat, and after burning Liu Liang to ashes, it did not recklessly spread around. Instead, it left a Magma Lake at the spot before dissipating back into light particles, vanishing entirely.
In less than half a minute, the other two had just processed what had happened, but Liu Liang was already dead by Qin Shou’s hand. This filled their hearts with boundless fear.
"How is this possible? How can a Vajra Realm possibly match an Unbreakable Realm Second Star..."
"Don’t just stand there, run..."
Black didn’t have time to recall his Beast Cultivation summon. He grabbed hold of Xiao Wen, activating his Battle Armor’s energy thrusters, and shot skyward, desperate to escape the deserted island.
There was no way Qin Shou would simply let the two escape—the secret of the Divine Light Stick absolutely couldn’t be exposed at this moment.
A Vajra Realm cultivator matching an Unbreakable Realm expert wasn’t unheard of.
But crushing an Unbreakable Realm—it was beyond anyone’s imagination.
If this news got out, with Qin Shou’s current level of power, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the repercussions.
Therefore, the two had to die!
As these thoughts rushed through his mind, Qin Shou crossed his arms, the crystal on his forehead glowing with purple radiance. Most of the energy within him surged into the Instant Acceleration Device, and the red on his body transformed into purple.
In mid-air, the purple form!
The ground beneath him cracked, and Qin Shou’s figure flickered. In less than two seconds, he caught up to the fleeing pair.
A fierce gust roared from behind them, and in the blink of an eye, a giant figure in purple stood blocking their path.
"Qin Shou, you can’t kill—"
Black yelled in panic, but Qin Shou paid him no mind. His right hand formed a palm, and concentrated Light Energy condensed into cyan-white beams that shot out, striking the pair instantly.
Fragments of their Battle Armor scattered, and their bodies were obliterated by the energy beams.
Meanwhile, below, Hillbagon had finally torn through the spider cocoon. With a casual tug, it ripped off Luo Xinfu’s spider legs, and stomped down to crush her head.
Yuzao, the humanoid nine-tailed beast, lost control with her Beast Tamer gone and tried to retreat from the battlefield. Check latest chapters at novèlfire.net
But she was still a step too late. Hillbagon bent down, grabbed two of her tails, and forcefully dragged her to itself, brutalizing her mercilessly.
Elsewhere, Little Vajra was suspended mid-air by the threads of the Other Shore Flower, continuously calling out to Qin Shou.
Little one... no, big one, hurry up and save me!
Above, Qin Shou crossed his arms again, reverting to his composite form. Crimson and violet light shimmered underfoot as he dove directly toward the Other Shore Flower.
At that moment, Qin Shou’s strengthened legs pulsed with immense Light Energy. His figure transformed into a beam of light, crashing headfirst into the roots extended from Rui Si beneath the earth.
The ground trembled violently, dirt flying everywhere. From beneath the earth, a scream erupted, followed by the sight of the Light Giant raising a fiery red flower above the surface.
He casually tossed the withered Other Shore Flower to the side, ignoring the resentful gaze of Little Vajra, then turned to face Hillbagon, who had just punched Yuzao to death.
If Liu Liang, the Unbreakable Realm Second Star, hadn’t targeted him as a Summoner, and with the uncontrollable Hillbagon loose, Qin Shou wouldn’t have been without a chance.
But as a Summoner under direct assault, the situation had turned perilously grim.
If not for the Divine Light Stick, he’d definitely have perished this time.
As the scenario unfolded, Hillbagon began to take note of the Light Giant slowly closing in. It advanced menacingly.
Hillbagon slammed its chest with fury, stepping forward with its bulky legs, provoking openly.
The ground quaked beneath its steps as Hillbagon swung its massive claws, taunting relentlessly.
Bring it on, come at me!
A smile curved Qin Shou’s lips; once he beat this creature to submission, controlling it would become much easier.
With that thought, Qin Shou planted a step, then leapt higher.
Amid his roar, Light Energy consolidated beneath his feet.
This move didn’t have any fancy name—it was just a straightforward flying kick!
Suddenly, the blue energy light on his chest began to flash urgently. Qin Shou’s heart sank, sensing trouble.
In his setup, the flashing energy light wasn’t due to energy depletion.
It was because the Light Energy Converter was losing control and starting to assimilate his body into pure light!
It’d only been about a minute. This was absurdly unfair!
If he didn’t exit the Light Giant form soon, he’d end up fully transformed into light, locked inside the Divine Light Stick, becoming some protagonist’s portable wise old mentor.
As for how to exit the Giant form...
Well, the Liquid Biological Metal fused with the Divine Light Stick wasn’t obeying his commands at all, leaving him no choice...
Light Energy beneath him dimmed, his body froze, and Hillbagon seized the opportunity, slapping Qin Shou’s golden chest armor with a mighty blow.
The heavy strike left Qin Shou’s chest aching unbearably, his internal Light Energy rapidly depleting as he was sent hurtling a thousand meters, crashing into the ground and creating a massive crater.
Clutching the slightly dented chest armor, Qin Shou struggled to his feet, but the energy light on his chest flashed uncontrollably.
It wasn’t enough—not enough force.
Panic stirred in his heart.
Just then, Hillbagon rushed forward in full charge. Instinctively protecting his face, Qin Shou was smacked away by Hillbagon’s tail blow.
As his Light Energy rapidly depleted, the intense pain caused the Liquid Biological Metal to instinctively abandon Qin Shou as its Host, reverting into light particles and returning to its Divine Light Stick form.
Without the Light, Qin Shou’s body followed suit, breaking down into scattered light particles before reassembling back in human form, pale-faced and lying within the crater.
Hillbagon charged toward him again, and seeing the giant disappear, it swayed its hulking body triumphantly, roaring in delight.
Qin Shou remained motionless, ensuring Hillbagon wouldn’t detect him.
Moreover, Qin Shou’s body was now weaker than ever, his spirit utterly drained—he was incapable of moving even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, the injuries inflicted by Hillbagon didn’t transfer over to Qin Shou’s Human Form; otherwise, this situation would have been even grimmer.
