In midair.
Despite being surrounded by hundreds of half-step true gods, Qin Hao remained unruffled. After a glance at Situ Yu, he shifted his gaze to Yan Zijun, who likewise hovered in the air nearby.
All the half-step true gods present wore numb expressions and icy gazes. More importantly, their divine soul fluctuations were exceedingly weak. Yan Zijun alone...
His face brimmed with arrogance as he surveyed Qin Hao with mockery and delight, looking him up and down as though examining not a person, but prey he had chosen.
"Enslaving more than three hundred half-step true gods."
While Yan Zijun sized up Qin Hao, Qin Hao was also assessing him. Without question, Yan Zijun was the one who had enslaved these half-step true gods. Qin Hao also sensed an immensely powerful pressure emanating from him.
He seemed unfathomably deep.
"Good, very good." Delight gleamed in Yan Zijun's eyes. He suddenly burst out laughing and looked at Qin Hao with satisfaction. "Six chaos origins at perfection. Boy, you're the strongest person I've encountered at the Disciple Recruitment Assembly."
Qin Hao's expression remained unchanged as he watched Yan Zijun indifferently. He likewise sensed multiple perfected chaos origins within Yan Zijun. More importantly...
The man possessed a chaos origin entirely unfamiliar to him. In other words, Yan Zijun had very likely researched and created a new branch vein.
"Tell me your name." Yan Zijun was very pleased.
To cross the Sea of Mist and enter the depths of the Lingchang Cave Abode, he needed more slaves, and the stronger those slaves were, the better.
Qin Hao's strength greatly satisfied Yan Zijun. In his view, Qin Hao alone could match at least dozens, if not a hundred half-step true gods.
As for the threat Qin Hao posed...
Yan Zijun had never even considered it.
