Global Superpower: I Control All Elements-Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Divine Challenge – Deadly Desert

Entering the cultivation chamber, Qin Feng opened the password-protected box, revealing three ultra-micro nuclear warheads inside.

Only in this era could such things be obtained so easily.

Even so, Qin Feng still spent six billion universal credits to acquire them.

After that, he began making some preparations.

First, he strapped the detonation remote control to the nuclear warheads. Then, he cut his wrist and let his blood drip onto them, along with a few other preparations.

Once everything was done, Qin Feng closed the box and stored it in his storage ring.

Next, he consumed a beast core, healing the wound on his wrist.

Then, Qin Feng checked the challenge template.

Challenger: Qin Feng (King-tier)

Level: 9 (One-Star Grand Perfection)

Innate Skill: God Level Devouring

Combat Skill: Berserk Strike

Support Skill: Ice Concealment Technique

Combat Power Index: 8,000 points

“System! Activate Divine Challenge!” Qin Feng spoke the long-awaited command.

“Ding! One-Star Divine Challenge activated. Reminder: You only have two challenge opportunities.”

“Ding! Entering challenge map—Death Desert in 10… 9… 8… 7…”

With a flash of white light, Qin Feng vanished from his original location.

The next second, he arrived in a bizarre desert.

There was a blazing sun in the sky, larger than a washbasin, even bigger than Earth’s sun by a significant margin.

The air temperature was scorching, at least 200 degrees Celsius.

The sand was burning red-hot.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a sea of crimson sand, resembling dark red magma, stretching endlessly.

The heat distorted the air like rising smoke, severely affecting visibility.

Qin Feng remained calm and took a deep breath.

The scorching, dry air flowed into his lungs, almost burning.

This place is indeed the Deathly Desert—ordinary people couldn’t survive here, and even genetic warriors would struggle.

No mystical beasts?

Qin Feng scanned his surroundings. Sand, nothing but sand—no creatures in sight.

But just then, a disturbance occurred behind him.

A massive black hand burst out from the sand, striking toward his back.

The hand moved with astonishing speed, sweeping up a cloud of sand, hurtling toward him with enough force to crush him.

Qin Feng was shocked. The power behind this attack was at the early Four-Star level—he couldn’t take it head-on.

A Four-Star combatant had a power threshold of 15,000 points.

Qin Feng only had 8,000.

In an instant, he shifted his stance, narrowly dodging the strike.

Boom!

The massive hand struck empty air, causing the ground to tremble and sending sand flying.

Immediately after—whoosh! whoosh!—

Seven or eight more massive hands emerged from the sand, slamming toward Qin Feng.

He was horrified.

What kind of monster is this?

It has so many hands!

And each one is the size of a full-grown adult.

But there was no time to think.

The hands came at him in a coordinated attack.

Qin Feng dodged repeatedly, but suddenly, his feet froze.

The scorching sand came alive, wrapping around his legs, locking him in place.

At the same time, a giant hand descended upon him.

Qin Feng was terrified—he couldn’t dodge anymore. He had to take the hit.

A spear tore through the air!

Dragonbone Spear!

Berserk Strike!

His attack power multiplied instantly.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion followed.

Qin Feng was sent flying, coughing up blood, but the black hand was shattered, dispersing into countless grains of black sand.

“Huh?”

A voice of surprise echoed from beneath the sand.

Clearly, the mysterious creature was astonished that Qin Feng had survived the attack.

The ground trembled as a monstrous being three stories tall emerged from the sand.

It had a humanoid shape, with a fiery red body and eerie, yellowish-brown eyes.

A massive cloud of black sand hovered around it, constantly shifting—sometimes forming giant hands, sometimes transforming into a shield-like structure.

So the earlier attacks were all created by this black sand!

Qin Feng quickly swallowed a beast core to heal his wounds, then focused his gaze on the creature.

Category: Mystical Beast

Name: Sand Demon (Ordinary-tier)

Level: 19 (Four-Star Early)

Skill: Earth Escape (Usable in deserts; First Kill drops Skill Stone)

Equipment: Reverse Sandflow (Special-Grade Primordial Weapon, Mid-tier; First Kill drops item)

Warning: Extremely Dangerous (Win Rate Below 10%)

What the hell?!

A Four-Star early-stage mystical beast?!

And it even has a mid-tier primordial weapon—that black sand cloud.

Usually, having weapons and equipment in these challenges was already an exploit.

But now, even the monster had mid-tier primordial equipment, and a special-grade one at that.

This completely diminished Qin Feng’s equipment advantage.

In a direct fight, he was no match for the Sand Demon.

That less than 10% win rate was glaringly ominous.

This Divine Challenge was insane!

However, if I manage to kill the Sand Demon, I will obtain a Skill Stone and a mid-tier primordial weapon. That would be a massive gain!

Especially that special-grade Yuan weapon—it was far stronger and more valuable than an ordinary one.

Thinking about this, Qin Feng’s heart burned with excitement.

His mind raced, strategizing ways to defeat the Sand Demon.

“Strange… human…”

At that moment, the Sand Demon actually spoke, though its human language was rough and unrefined. It eyed Qin Feng with confusion.

Clearly, this Level 9 human surviving had caught it off guard.

Qin Feng was stunned.

What the hell?! This thing can talk?!

“Ding! Divine Challenge begins!”

“Challenge Objective: Kill the Sand Demon within ten minutes!”

“Ding! Challenge starts in 3… 2… 1…”

“Ding! Challenge started! Timer: 10:00…”

Damn!

Another ten-minute time limit!

This difficulty is absurd!

At that moment, the Sand Demon charged at Qin Feng.

The black sand cloud surrounding it transformed into a black spear, which it gripped tightly—it was going to skewer Qin Feng in one strike.

But in the next second, it froze.

Qin Feng, who had been lying injured on the ground, suddenly sprang up like a rabbit, darting far away in an instant.

The Sand Demon was dumbfounded!

How’s this possible?!

Wasn’t he gravely injured?

How did he recover so fast?!

Damn human!

Furious, the Sand Demon felt like it had been tricked. It charged again.

But Qin Feng used Ice Concealment Technique—vanishing into thin air, his presence completely erased.

The Sand Demon lost its target and was utterly confused.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng wasted no time.

He had to kill the Sand Demon within ten minutes.

Otherwise, he would fail and receive no rewards.

He sprinted far away while keeping an eye on the timer.

1 minute passed…

2 minutes…

3 minutes…

The Sand Demon was still wandering around, searching for him.

Qin Feng had already moved thousands of meters away.

At that moment, he quickly buried the box containing the ultra-micro nuclear warheads in the sand.

Then, without a second glance, he continued running at full speed.

He was racing against time.

Soon, the Sand Demon caught a scent.

It sniffed the air.

Blood! Human blood!

Hahaha!!

It had found the human’s trail!

The Sand Demon rushed toward the buried box.

6 minutes…

7 minutes…

At 7 minutes and 22 seconds, Qin Feng glanced back—the Sand Demon had reached the buried box.

The creature grinned.

Is this human an idiot?

Did he think hiding in the sand would work?

It reached down, grabbed the box, and pulled it up—then froze.

It wasn’t Qin Feng.

Just a box.

A box with Qin Feng’s blood, tricking its senses.

The Sand Demon suddenly felt that something was off.
