When pushed into a corner, a person could do anything.
Yan Linhan's choice to self-detonate had indeed caught Qin Hao somewhat off guard.
From what Qin Hao knew of Yan Linhan's character... back when he had killed Yan Xing, Yan Linhan had merely shouted at him to stop. He had never come forward to intervene.
Qin Hao had therefore assumed Yan Linhan would never willingly self-detonate.
He had not expected him to be so decisive now.
Still, although surprised, Qin Hao was not overly concerned. His opponent might be a half-step ancestral god, but he...
Now had all six doppelgangers gathered together!
"Self-world!"
All six doppelgangers stood in midair at once. Within the self-world that already covered a vast surrounding area, the world spirit released an endless stream of world power, forming an enormous defensive barrier.
It directly enveloped the area centered on Yan Linhan, as though severing space itself. The area within the self-world and the outside were two entirely separate spaces.
And that was indeed the case.
Qin Hao's self-world had long since become a world founded upon the true world, yet detached from it!
Near the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake.
Although Yan Linhan was already inside the self-world, those outside could still see him and Qin Hao's six doppelgangers.
Especially when they saw terrifying power boiling madly within Yan Linhan, how could they fail to understand what was happening?
"Damn it, self-detonation! Yan Linhan is going to self-detonate!"
"We're finished! Yan Linhan is a half-step ancestral god. Once he self-detonates, the energy unleashed will be terrifying. Forget Qin Hao—all of us will be buried alongside Yan Linhan!"
"Run!"
Outside, the many eternal true gods who had originally been fighting, only to cease their battles after Qin Hao and Yan Linhan began theirs, all paled in alarm.
