Chapter 482: Epic Divine Ascension

“If you refuse, you can’t afford the consequences,” Yan Guihen finished speaking.

Behind him, several hundred Extraordinaries unleashed their auras in unison. Streams of energy from different elements intertwined.

The earth trembled, and the phantom cries of beasts echoed.

Within the crowd, many Extraordinaries took action, casting blessings on their companions.

The combined aura grew even more immense.

Cao Biansheng’s eyes narrowed. ‘These people are all Extraordinaries!?’

As he scanned the crowd, his sixth sense tingled at more than half of them, sensing an intense threat.

Masters were as common as blades of grass. He considered himself an expert, someone who could rank in the top ten in the entire Gated Community, a match for a hundred men, or even a thousand.

But everyone standing before him was an expert! More than half of them could do what he could.

If this squad formed up, they could easily crush an elite army of one hundred thousand.

Despite sensing the threat, the smile on Cao Biansheng’s face grew even brighter.

He tightened his grip on the Silver Dragon in his hand.

He took a step forward, shielding Qin Ziwen.

“Consequences?” Qin Ziwen suddenly turned his head to look at the empty air beside him.

A smile appeared on his face.

He reached out, fingers splayed, extending his hand to the left.

In the air, a human face materialized just inches away.

Qin Ziwen sneered. “So this is what you call one of your own? Sending assassins after your own people.”

The face, caught in his five-fingered grip, let out a muffled whimper.

His fingers tightened, clenching together. The face, like a pile of soft mud, was crushed.

With a flick of his arm,

THUD!

The body slammed heavily onto the ground.

His Aerodynamic Sensory Network had detected the assassin as soon as they came within twenty meters.

“If you want to fight, then fight. All this scheming is hypocritical and disgusting.”

Yan Guihen tried to say something else, but Qin Ziwen cut him off. “I’m done talking. Mogu, go.”

Mogu, who had been standing motionless as a statue, moved.

He raised his hand, and the phantom image of a vast ocean appeared behind him!

The azure phantom tilted and crashed down, as if the entire ocean were capsizing.

“What the fuck is that?” Chen Jinming’s face changed drastically. Although his knowledge didn’t allow him to identify it, his intuition screamed at him that if he didn’t run now, he would die!

Without a second thought, he turned and fled toward the gate he had come from.

In fact, he wasn’t the only one. The instant the phantom ocean appeared, Yan Guihen was the first to retreat.

He recognized it.

‘Holy shit, that’s God Ascension!’

After God Ascension, one’s mind could project a Mind-Image World, using one’s will to manifest a grand illusion in the external world that possessed tangible, destructive power.

The power of a single individual was a page of an epic.

Thus, it was called Epic God Ascension!

The ocean surged, covering the area before them in an instant.

The tide was like a nightmare. The slowest person was instantly engulfed.

In that moment, the world spun.

The world went black for those submerged by the seawater, as if they were plunged into a freezing abyss ten thousand meters beneath the surface.

Figures struggled and wailed within the sea.

Mogu lowered his fist, his eyes cold.

He raised his fist again, preparing to throw a second punch.

“Wait,” Qin Ziwen stopped him. “It would be a waste to just kill them all.”

Mogu retracted his fist. The aura that felt powerful enough to shatter the earth vanished completely, and he once again stood by like an unremarkable Ordinary Extraordinary.

He had taken in everyone’s reactions.

‘Judging by how most of them reacted, they probably don’t even know what God Ascension is.’

‘Only a few of them might have known something, and they tried to flee immediately.’

‘But they weren’t strong enough, and the other side has no one who has reached God Ascension.’

‘For an established guild like this to not have a single person at that level shows that God Ascension is quite valuable.’

‘The ability to mass-produce those who have Ascended, even if it’s just Epic God Ascension, makes the Eden Life Tree’s value skyrocket.’

Anchor Points rose and fell. With that one punch from Mogu, all three hundred seventy-six people present were plunged into his Mind-Image.

“That’s fucking terrifying. He controlled all of them with a single punch!” Cao Biansheng muttered to himself.

Qin Ziwu took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in his heart.

Looking at Mogu’s back, he was reminded of when he was still an ordinary person, seeing Mogu in action for the first time.

He felt the gap between them was only growing wider.

Cao Biansheng said, “I wonder, if I took a punch like that right now, could I survive it?”

Qin Ziwu glanced at him sideways. “You’d probably be in pieces.”

Mogu lowered his fist, and the ocean receded like the tide.

The crowd lay scattered on the ground like drowned refugees.

Qin Ziwen said, “Round them all up. We need to fleece these fat sheep properly.”

Qin Ziwu said in a low voice, “Bro, there might be too many of them. We don’t have enough people to guard them. They’re probably all Extraordinaries. Mogu might be the only one who can watch them.”

Qin Ziwen glanced at his younger brother. “Who says we don’t? Take them all to Giant Beast Heavy Industry.”

‘To the factory?’

Though Qin Ziwu was confused, he didn’t ask any more questions.

Qin Ziwu stepped forward. One of the captives on the ground suddenly shot his eyes open, sprang up, and tried to kick out, but a fist larger than a water tank struck first, despite moving second.

BOOM!!

The person instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

“You only have one life. If you want to die, I won’t stop you. But the scent won’t fade. You think dying is the end of it? I’ll use your Anchor Point to find your Home, and then I’ll round up all your family and friends and kill them.”

Qin Ziwen spoke the coldest words in the calmest tone.

Those who had been harboring other ideas quickly quieted down.

There were actually a few holes in the man’s threat.

Although the Anchor Point function could find their Homes, it had a cooldown. With so many people here, even if he went after them one by one, the scent would eventually fade for the rest.

But…

no one was willing to bet that they wouldn’t be the one he chose.

Besides, from the sound of it, they still had a chance to live.

So they gradually fell silent.

Xie Ya opened her eyes. The giant golden beetle at her feet was like an overturned tank, its six legs pointing to the sky, motionless.

When it came to sensing danger, the beetle was much smarter than any human.

Xie Ya gave it a gentle kick.

The beetle didn’t move, as if it had really fainted.

But through her Extraordinary Ability, Xie Ya could clearly sense that the creature beside her was definitely still alive!

Biting her lip gently, a complex look flashed in Xie Ya’s eyes.

This was her first time visiting this Home, but it wasn’t her first time seeing the man across from her.

She had thought he was just a lucky rookie Tuiyuan leader.

She never expected him to be so terrifying.

‘Was he playing dumb that day, just to mess with me?’

‘But what would be the point?’

‘He couldn’t possibly be after the few Marvels I had.’

‘What if… what if he really is a rookie who’s only been through a few worlds?’

A voice quietly took root in her heart.

‘No, impossible.’

Xie Ya dismissed the absurd speculation.

It was impossible for someone to cultivate such an outrageous Recruiter in just a few worlds.

“What a coincidence. An old acquaintance.”

A pair of feet stopped in front of her.
