Chapter 69: Sibling Betrayal?
The smile on Ye Xuan’s face froze. He hadn’t anticipated that the guild leaders around him would hand over their Void Crystals so easily, simply because Qin Xian asked.
Those crystals were the key to receiving the gods’ blessings in the Temple of the Gods!
He stared in disbelief at a middle-aged man, unable to hold back his question: “Why?”
The man, Song Kai, a level 38 powerhouse and the leader of the Haoshan Guild, had been one of Ye Xuan’s strongest supporters. For the past three days, they had fought side by side, and Song Kai had treated Ye Xuan’s every word like an order from heaven.
But when Qin Xian demanded the Void Crystals, Song Kai had been the first to step forward and hand them over. Ye Xuan couldn’t understand—how could it have turned out this way?
If they stood united, even the Qin family couldn’t steal their Void Crystals!
Seeing the confusion, shock, and faint anger in Ye Xuan’s expression, Song Kai could only smile bitterly. He respected Ye Xuan’s talents and agreed that if they joined forces in the dungeon, even the mighty Qin family could be challenged.
But the issue was this: they couldn’t stay in the dungeon forever.
The Haoshan Guild had over two thousand members waiting outside. Song Kai’s family, his friends, they were all outside. In the real world, the Qin family had the power to destroy them completely.
Sure, they could defy Qin Xian now, keep their Void Crystals, and receive the gods’ blessings. But once outside, they would face the Qin family’s wrath.
For the sake of his brothers in the guild, and for the safety of his family, Song Kai had no choice but to comply with Qin Xian’s demand.
At least Qin Xian hadn’t taken everything from them—he had allowed them to keep one crystal each, so they could still receive a lesser blessing from the gods. It was a small consolation, but one they had to accept.
—
With the Void Crystals collected, Qin Xian now possessed 21 of them, regaining his place at the top of the leaderboard.
Even if he didn’t obtain any more crystals from the remaining bosses, he was guaranteed the highest blessing in the Temple of the Gods.
Qin Xian’s eyes fell on Ye Xuan, who was ranked second. He was almost certain now—this Ye Xuan was indeed the lost heir of the Ye family.
At that moment, a familiar system prompt sounded in Qin Xian’s mind:
[Villain System Activated: Main Quest Stage 3 Unlocked]
[Quest: Eliminate the threat of Ye Xuan. Reward: 200 Villain Points.]
Another Child of Destiny!
Qin Xian hadn’t expected to encounter two of these destined figures in the same Shattered Heaven dungeon. First, it had been Xiao Ming, who had already met his demise. Now, it was Ye Xuan’s turn.
—
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan’s expression darkened as regret crept into his heart. He had risked exposing himself, hoping to prevent Qin Xian from receiving the gods’ blessing.
But not only had his plan failed, but his identity might also be in jeopardy. After all, in this dungeon, nameplates couldn’t be faked…
Yet, as the situation unfolded, Ye Xuan found a strange sense of calm. He took a deep breath, and without any warning, he struck!
“Incarnate as Dragon God!”
Ye Xuan unleashed his most powerful ability, pulling out all the stops. Since his identity was already at risk, he would rather act now, rescue his sister, and forget about the gods’ blessing altogether.
To Ye Xuan, his sister Ye Li—now known as Qin Li—was the most important person in the world. Even if he couldn’t receive the Metamorphosis Blessing and become a Dragon God, it didn’t matter. He had to save his sister.
Boom!
A terrifying dragon’s roar echoed across the skies as Ye Xuan’s body surged with glowing dragon scales. He grew to a towering height, surrounded by a fiery aura capable of incinerating anything in its path.
Upon entering his Dragon God form, Ye Xuan’s skills were completely transformed.
[Dragon God’s Body]!
[Dragon God’s Body]: Grants immunity to all forms of control, reduces damage taken by 80%, and increases maximum health by 1000%. Duration: 20 seconds.
Instead of using an offensive skill, Ye Xuan activated his defensive trump card. He knew he only had five minutes in his Dragon God form.
If he got caught up in a prolonged fight, his time would run out, and the combined might of the Qin family elites would overwhelm him.
Ye Xuan was determined to power through any attacks, reach Qin Li, and take her away. His body, enveloped in a blazing inferno, shot toward Qin Xian and Qin Li like a meteor.
However, as he approached, Qin Li’s eyes flashed with a cold, murderous light.
[Deathly Winter]!
With a soft yet commanding voice, Qin Li unfurled her Wings of Death, and a suffocating aura of death spread across the battlefield, enveloping everyone within a hundred-meter radius.
Anyone not part of the Qin family was caught off guard by the sudden attack. They were instantly consumed by the deathly energy, reduced to nothing but skeletons.
The death energy from the fallen then converged on Qin Li, making her appear like the incarnation of a Death Goddess.
[Death Forecast]!
In the next moment, Qin Li condensed all the death energy into a single, ominous symbol, which shot toward Ye Xuan.
[Death Forecast]: Consumes all death energy, marking a target up to 10 levels higher than the user. Deals 5000 magic damage, with a 30% chance to inflict instant death.
Ye Xuan’s expression changed drastically as he felt the overwhelming presence of death bearing down on him. How could this be? His carefully planned ambush had been ruined by his own sister!
