# Chapter 2013: Utmost Edge
Kupo had already informed Yang Jian of Quinn's true identity and his upcoming actions through a secret message!
How could Yang Jian simply let Quinn do as he pleased? Just send some Dao Heaven ranks to keep the scene under control?
Wu Zang and Lance had been in Shanmao's squad from the very beginning, always stationed at the Jinlan Base!
They had merely been using Zhang San's absolute passive-ignoring ability to stay hidden all along!
So no one had discovered them—not even Liu Ming, Tieniu, or Platelet knew!
But after wiping off their lip prints, those two brothers turned around and completely forgot about Zhang San!
Right up until the last moment, Yang Jian was still giving Quinn a chance. With humanity's current favorable situation, there was no need to keep working for the Holy Star—a prodigal son should return!
If he came back, no one would expose him. Everything could be treated as if it never happened!
But Quinn clearly had no such intention. He was dead set on making a move on the Star Core!
At this moment, Quinn's face was also filled with disbelief: "Wu Zang? Weren't you killed by Shen during the Global Spiritual Calamity?"
"And Lance the Psionicist? How are you still alive?"
According to the information Quinn had received, Lance had gone missing during the earlier Lantis battle while resisting the Heavenly Meteor event. There had been no news of him since—he was most likely dead!
And now, two people who should have been dead appeared before him, and at an extraordinary level?
What a deep-laid scheme! Had they fooled everyone?
Wu Zang just sneered without speaking, slowly gripping his sword hilt!
As for Lance, his mouth twitched: "The old Lance is indeed dead, in every sense of the word!"
In the Shattered Star Sea, Miyazaki had kowtowed him into a mental vegetable. Miyazaki was fine, but Lance had gone mad!
Fortunately, Boss Pang had taken him in. From then on, Lance lived a long, long time as a happy little idiot!
He had done all sorts of outrageous things!
Abandoning wisdom, Lance's thoughts became unimpeded, and his rank actually skyrocketed. It could be considered a blessing in disguise!
Later, when the Stellar Palace was established, Lance was secretly sent to the Stellar Palace medical room, where alien technology cured his mental disability, ending the law of mental disability conservation!
From then on, he lived in the shadows as someone who didn't exist. He also received an infusion of Creation Particles and made an oath to fight for humanity!
Having experienced life's great ups and downs, Lance had long let go of his past grievances, let alone having any thoughts of opposing Jiangnan!
Yeah—unless he was mentally disabled!
But even now, thinking of Jiangnan still made him furious!
[From Lance: Resentment +777!]
Lance squinted and said, "But killing you! Then Brother Wu Zang and I can live openly in the sunlight!"
Quinn squinted: "Two Transcendents? You did prepare a generous gift for me! But relying on this alone to ruin my grand plan?"
"You think too simply! In all my years as a Spirit Warrior, I've never used my full power!"
"You have no idea what I'm truly..."
Before he could finish, Wu Zang moved. A sharp light blazed in his eyes, and an extreme blade glow blossomed within the base!
"Demon Flash!"
This slash was like a demon's fang. The world in Quinn's eyes suddenly spun!
Wu Zang had already appeared behind Quinn, his Godslayer Blade unstained by a single drop of blood!
Quinn's head had been severed by Wu Zang's blade, body and head separated!
Wu Zang squinted: "How strong you are... does it matter?"
Quinn's pupils contracted sharply. When did he draw his blade?
"Don't you know that in Elemental State, you can't be killed?"
At this moment, Quinn's severed body suddenly transformed into a flame state, lunging fiercely at Wu Zang!
Wu Zang suddenly swung his blade at the flames: "Then I'll sever atoms, sever chemical bonds, sever elemental chains!"
"There is no undying human in this world, including you! Super High-Speed Continuous Slash!"
A mass of blade-light shadows suddenly bloomed before Wu Zang. No one knew how many slashes he made in an instant!
As a Transcendent, he was even more terrifying than before!
Everything before him disintegrated under the blade glow, even though Quinn existed in elemental form!
The flames that had been chopped into countless pieces couldn't merge together, as if their connections had been severed!
Quinn: !!!
"Damn it! Holy Flame Explosion!"
"Boom!"
With a thunderous blast, infinite golden holy flames erupted, directly splitting the base apart!
Quinn transformed into a golden flame meteor, plunged headfirst into the liquid core, frantically absorbing heat!
His flame figure expanded at astonishing speed, heading straight for the Star Core shield!
"Clang!"
The boundless sea of fire was split open by Wu Zang's blade. His body turned into blade light, charging toward Quinn at incredible speed!
Meanwhile, on Lance's side, infinite telekinetic waves bloomed!
"Heart Freezing Mantra!"
Under the influence of telekinesis, the anger burning fiercely within Luo Jiaoyang and Shanmao was instantly suppressed, making them exceptionally calm!
The rage-fire on their bodies weakened considerably, but still burned without extinguishing!
Lance also charged into the core: "Remember to control your emotions, or you'll easily burn yourself to death. Quinn's ability is troublesome!"
Quinn's Holy Flame wasn't just simple fire—it was a void fire!
Even Luo Jiaoyang was burned black, gasping for breath. Against a Transcendent-level existence, Dao Heaven rank was truly insufficient, unable to help much!
Fortunately, Wu Zang and Lance were still here!
Shanmao clenched her fists, biting her lower lip. She had to reach Transcendent as soon as possible. She needed to help!
Jiang Ning also followed in pursuit. Quinn had to be killed at the core!
Meanwhile, Quinn had already reached the Star Core shield!
His golden pupils were filled with determination: "This kind of thing can't stop me!"
Inside the shield, there was also high temperature and high pressure. The high temperature converged to form plasma flames!
And those flames expanded wildly, taking human form and charging straight for the Star Core!
It was a flame avatar formed by Quinn across the shield, though its power was far inferior to Quinn's main body!
But how could Lance let him succeed?
"Domain Expansion: One Thought Reaches Heaven!"
Infinite telekinetic energy erupted from Lance's body, enveloping the surroundings and even penetrating the Star Core shield!
Even the flowing outer core seemed to freeze!
Telekinesis was formless. Everything within the domain was under Lance's control!
"Telekinetic Tide!"
Inside the shield, infinite telekinesis surged outward. Quinn's flame avatar weakened from the impact but still charged stubbornly toward the Star Core!
Lance gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Is it weakened too much by the shield?"
But he couldn't open the shield, or it would be very difficult to stop Quinn!
Just then, Jiang Ning plunged into Lance's body, draining him dry!
When she charged out again, a single glazed horn on her head was crimson!
"Domain Expansion: One Thought Reaches Heaven! Telekinetic Tide!"
Two identical domains overlapped, the power surging dramatically. Quinn's flame avatar was directly shattered!
Lance's mouth twitched. Good heavens! A Bose body was really convenient—it could even take domains directly?
Quinn gritted his teeth. Was it still not enough across the shield?
Then he would shatter the shield!
"Don't think you can stop me! Domain Expansion: Undying Holy Flame!"
The golden flames on Quinn's body exploded outward, vaporizing even the fluid matter in the outer core!
At this moment, he was like a golden sun!
He aimed his single hand at the Star Core shield!
"Dazzling Great Sun: Sun Swarm!"
Golden suns, each over thirty kilometers in diameter, condensed and smashed fiercely toward the Star Core shield!
In the process, they absorbed the endless heat within the earth's core, each sun expanding to over a hundred kilometers in size!
They continuously bombarded the Star Core shield!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
This level of attack was already top-tier output, second only to Xiao Chuihuo's!
Just then, Wu Zang's roar rang out!
"Broken Jade Slash!"
This slash merged Wu Zang's spirit, energy, and will—an ultimate, peak slash!
The blade light directly split through the domain, even cutting Quinn and his domain in two!
The wound remained unhealed for a long time!
But Quinn still wasn't dead. The domain endlessly absorbed the core's heat, expanding madly!
Even Quinn's flame body grew at terrifying speed!
Thirty thousand meters, fifty thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters!
With the earth's core at his disposal, Quinn had endless energy to squander!
"When will you learn? I told you, you can't kill me! Do you know what undying holy flames mean?"
"Holy flames cannot be extinguished! Want to kill me? Go back and train for a few more years!"
"Yang God Body!"
As he spoke, he aimed his massive hand directly at Wu Zang and the others!
"Think that staying calm and peaceful will keep you from being ignited? You underestimate me!"
"Void Fire: Fire of the Five Viscera! Ignite!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, towering flames erupted from the bodies of Lance and Wu Zang!
Their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys all became fire sources. It was a burning from the inside out—flesh, blood, bones, everything was ablaze!
Lance screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Even Wu Zang's eyes twitched in pain, his consciousness blurring!
But no matter what Lance tried, he couldn't extinguish the flames, not even with telekinesis!
Quinn's technique had ignored domain defense?
If Jiang Ning weren't a Bose body, she would have been affected too!
Quinn sneered: "Useless! As long as I don't die, the holy flames won't be extinguished! Even Transcendents are ultimately just carbon-based bodies. How long can you endure the burning?"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Under Quinn's relentless bombardment, the Star Core shield began to crack!
"Broken Jade Slash!"
A blade light even fiercer than before slashed out. The hundred-thousand-meter Yang God Body was cut in half!
But with Quinn's frantic energy absorption, it recovered again. A golden sun smashed straight toward Wu Zang, flames blazing!
"Hah! What a stubborn fool. This is the earth's core—endless heat at my disposal!"
"Want to cut me down here? A pipe dream! Your mistake was being too overconfident. Since you knew my identity, you still let me descend into the core!"
"Soft-heartedness comes at a price!"
The golden sea of fire was instantly split by blade light. At this moment, Wu Zang gripped his blade with both hands, his entire body metalized to resist the burning!
His body was now glowing red from the holy flames!
Wu Zang grinned ferociously: "You know this is the earth's core! Then do you know that the main elements of the outer core are liquid iron and nickel?"
"And I! Am a Metal Element Ability user!"
"Before I came, I made a vow: If I let you harm the Star Core by even a fraction, I, Wu Zang, will never touch a blade again!"
"Domain Expansion: Utmost Edge!"
