Qin Hao stepped forward, his pace unhurried. His black robes fluttered wildly in the wind. Sensing his approach, the twenty-five Body Integration Realm undead swarmed toward him in unison.
As the most powerful leading undead let out a silent roar, the twenty-five undead violently sprang up at the same time, lunging at Qin Hao from all directions. Their dark gold bone claws carried the terrifying coercive pressure of the Body Integration Realm, as if intending to tear this arrogant black-robed man to shreds.
Qin Hao stopped in his tracks.
He raised his head, the eyes beneath his fanged mask as calm as still water. Not a single ripple of emotion could be seen in his gaze. He watched the undead lunging at him as if he were looking at a flock of moths darting into a flame.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Qin Hao gently exhaled a breath—just a single breath.
Whoosh—
The sound was incredibly light, like a gentle breeze sweeping across a lake's surface. Yet, the moment this soft breath left Qin Hao's lips, it transformed into a visible shockwave. The airwave, taking on a nearly transparent white hue, expanded forward.
Wherever the shockwave passed, the air trembled violently, emitting a low buzzing hum.
The bone claws of the first undead were only three feet away from Qin Hao's face when the shockwave brushed past its body.
The undead's movements froze in that instant, stiffening in place as if struck by an immobilization spell. The phantom green flames in its eye sockets flickered violently a few times before extinguishing completely.
Immediately after, its body began to disintegrate. The dark gold bones shattered inch by inch, turning into gray powder that fluttered and scattered in the air.
The shockwave continued to spread. The second, the third, the fourth... Wherever it reached, the bodies of the Body Integration Realm undead disintegrated one after another like dominoes. The sounds of their bones shattering merged into a continuous crackle, like firecrackers going off.
Twenty-five Body Integration Realm undead were entirely reduced to ashes by Qin Hao's single breath. A deathly silence fell over the plaza.
Chen Ping and the others widened their eyes, their gazes toward Qin Hao filled with sheer shock. It was too absurd. Just by blowing a breath—without even utilizing any spiritual energy, merely exhaling—these Body Integration Realm undead had been obliterated.
Luo Qingxue stared at Qin Hao's back, completely stunned in place. A single breath, and twenty-five Body Integration Realm undead were instantly reduced to flying ash? What kind of ridiculously crushing posture was this? Absurd, it was truly too absurd.
She had thought Qin Hao's strength would be formidable; after all, during their last meeting, he had given her an indescribable sense of oppression. But she never imagined that his strength would be so great that they were completely on different dimensions.
The Undead God King hovered high in the air, the phantom green flames in his eye sockets flickering erratically. His eyes were locked dead onto Qin Hao. After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"Who... are you?"
With those three words, the Undead God King's tone no longer carried its previous condescending arrogance, but instead bore a trace of solemnity that even he himself had not noticed.
In his perception, Qin Hao was the youngest and most ordinary among these people. Yet, the strength Qin Hao displayed had left this innate divine demon feeling deeply shocked.
He finally realized that it wasn't that Qin Hao was ordinary at all, but rather that even he could not see through this masked man's disguise!
This discovery sent stormy waves crashing through the Undead God King's heart. To think there was actually a junior in this world whose disguise could deceive him? This person was absolutely not simple!
Qin Hao looked up and met the Undead God King's gaze, the corners of his mouth beneath the mask curving up slightly. "Just an ordinary person, that's all."
The flames in the Undead God King's eye sockets leaped violently, clearly extremely dissatisfied with this answer, but he did not press the matter.
"Next round, get ready!" The Undead God King's figure returned to its cold indifference. Immediately after, the ground began to churn once more.
This time, thirty peak Body Integration Realm undead crawled out from beneath the earth.
The peak of the Body Integration Realm was only a single step away from the Mahayana Realm. Facing such a lineup, a trace of unconcealable gravity appeared on Luo Qingxue's face.
Qin Hao stood in place, his black robes snapping in the wind. His hands were still tucked into his sleeves; he hadn't even changed his posture. He watched the thirty approaching undead.
Suddenly, his eyes changed. His originally deep, pitch-black pupils split into two in an instant, and a faint ring of golden light rippled along the edges of his pupils.
This dark golden light appeared incredibly fast—so fast that, apart from the Undead God King, no one present could clearly see what had happened. They only felt an ancient, almost primal aura, as vast as the dawn of the universe, releasing from Qin Hao's body.
Then, all thirty peak Body Integration Realm undead halted. In the next second, cracks began to appear on the skeletons of these undead, spreading out densely like spiderwebs.
In less than the time it takes to take a breath, all thirty undead collapsed.
"Wh-what just happened?" Chen Ping's voice was somewhat hoarse. He hadn't even seen how Qin Hao made his move, and in the next second, all thirty undead were dead.
Luo Qingxue's clear eyes were tightly locked onto Qin Hao's back, her gaze surging with an unprecedentedly complex mix of emotions.
Her mind suddenly recalled the scene of when she first met Qin Hao. He had stood at the entrance of her courtyard, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth that made her teeth itch in annoyance. He had said he was her rented Dao Companion.
Now, he was standing in front of her. With a single breath, he defeated twenty-five Body Integration Realm undead, and then, using some unknown method, instantly reduced thirty peak Body Integration Realm undead to flying ash.
A question fell into Luo Qingxue's heart like a seed, taking root and sprouting, impossible to pull out no matter how she tried: Just what kind of person was he?
He was clearly absurdly powerful, so why did he still act as some rented Dao Companion? Was this the real him? If not, what was the real him actually like?
"Dual Pupils!!!" The Undead God King stared fixedly at Qin Hao. He wanted to see through Qin Hao, only to find that this young man was like a cloud of dense fog; he couldn't see through him in the slightest.
"Interesting. It seems I misjudged earlier. To think there was actually a little fellow hidden here with even more potential than a Primordial Dao Body."
"Originally, my trial would have ended at this step. However, I want to see exactly where your limits lie. So, let us continue."
Hearing these words, Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the Undead God King:
"Don't take it slow, it's a waste of time. I'll give you a suggestion: just bring out the Immortal Realm ones directly."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qin Hao. Bring out the Immortal Realm ones directly? Could his strength already rival that of an Immortal?
Chen Ping was the only person present who knew Qin Hao's cultivation base. Hearing Qin Hao's words, he couldn't help but walk over to Qin Hao's side and advise:
"Brother Ye, you mustn't be overconfident. Your cultivation is only at the Mahayana Realm. To directly challenge an Immortal, and more than one Immortal at that..."
Before Chen Ping could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qin Hao raising his hand:
"Have you ever seen the full extent of my strength? If you haven't, how do you know I am not capable?"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
