Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 73: The Perfect Strategy for a Full Clear

Every loss has its gain.

Though achieving a perfect clear wasn’t feasible, the skill 【Void Assimilation】 offered a good workaround.

It was essentially a freebie: as long as the Empress’s shield was broken and her chant interrupted within 30 seconds, she would fall into a two-minute state of silence and vulnerability.

“Focus fire on her shield! Interrupt her!”

The guild leaders immediately began issuing commands. Everyone concentrated their attacks on the Empress, preparing to disrupt her skill.

Seeing that the Empress didn’t cast 【Corrupting Divine Pillar】, Qin Xian’s expression darkened.

This meant he couldn’t achieve the 100% Purification Rate required for a perfect clear, nor could he obtain the highest-grade Celestial Blessing!

The timing of Broken Heaven’s appearance was unpredictable; the last occurrence had been twenty years ago. 

He was already approaching Level 30, and reaching Level 40 would only take another two years. Unless Broken Heaven appeared again within that time, this would be his last chance to attain the ultimate Celestial Blessing!

This time, he was determined to secure the most flawless reward!

Qin Xian’s gaze turned icy as he stared at the Void Gate behind the Empress. The dense Void energy within was enough to transform tens of thousands of players into Void creatures!

A hint of indifference flashed in Qin Xian’s eyes.

If that’s the case…

Qin Xian suddenly struck—but this time, his target wasn’t the Empress. It was the other players!

Boom!

With a single swing, Qin Xian sliced through hundreds of players, leaving a scene of death and destruction in his wake. The attack on the Empress faltered as everyone was stunned by Qin Xian’s unexpected assault.

“What are you doing?!”

“Quick! Interrupt the Void Assimilation!”

Several guild leaders shouted in panic at Qin Xian, furious. The 30 seconds were ticking down, and once Void Assimilation activated, half of them would be transformed into mindless Void creatures!

Qin Xian looked at the angry crowd, a cruel smile on his face. Calmly, he said, “Doesn’t it frustrate you? We’re just 20% short of a perfect purification.”

Everyone froze, their bodies trembling. They understood Qin Xian’s intent.

He intended to let 【Void Assimilation】 succeed!

Since they were missing that 20% purification rate, he would turn these players into Void creatures, then kill them to boost the world’s purification score.

In Qin Xian’s eyes, everyone here was a pawn, a sacrifice to be used at will. Naturally, that included the other players.

From a distance, Chu Junzhang watched, stunned, but quickly grasped Qin Xian’s intent. She looked deeply at Qin Xian, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions—fear, vigilance, and above all, admiration.

Unlike other women, Chu Junzhang had no respect for those gentle and kind-hearted men. In this ruthless world, only those who are even more ruthless can go further!

To achieve great things, one cannot afford to be merciful! Qin Xian was destined to become as powerful as his father, Qin Ming!

Calmly, she ordered, “Let the Empress release the skill.”

Some of the Chu family experts hesitated, but under her cold gaze, they shuddered and obeyed.

With the Chu family experts joining in, the players had no chance to attack the Empress. All they could do was watch helplessly as she completed her chant.

The 【Void Assimilation】 skill had rarely been allowed to complete before, given it was practically a free skill to interrupt!

But now, Void Assimilation was truly going to be unleashed. The Qin family, the Chu family, and other powerful members from prestigious houses weren’t worried; their luxurious gear could resist the Void’s corrosive aura.

But what about the commoners? Many tried to flee the dungeon, but combat status prevented them from teleporting out. Some turned to run, desperate for escape.

But where could they go?

Finally, the Void Gate behind the Empress materialized, releasing a dreadful Void aura that engulfed the entire royal city as though marking the world’s end.

Countless players found themselves enveloped by the Void aura, immediately corrupted as their bodies began to mutate into monstrous shapes.

Once assimilated by the Void aura, their names were erased from the player list, leaving them as mindless Void creatures driven only to kill.

Nearly a hundred thousand players across the city were transformed into Void creatures. They hadn’t died, but something far worse had happened.

Some surviving players looked on in despair and horror, tears streaming down their faces. Many of their companions had been turned into Void monsters!

Their gazes filled with indescribable anguish as they looked toward Qin Xian.

This young man… Was truly heartless!

They had once thought Qin Xian was rather friendly; unlike other oppressive nobles, he usually didn’t harm commoners for no reason.

But now they knew. If it served his goals, Qin Xian could be even more ruthless than those noble heirs.

One hundred thousand lives… Snuffed out without a second thought!

Yet Qin Xian’s expression remained calm. The corruption of these countless players barely stirred a ripple within him, as if he were watching the extermination of insects.

Coolly, he commanded, “Begin.”

The Qin family experts moved forward and began a systematic sweep of the Void creatures.

These newly corrupted creatures were mindless and weak, and in moments, thousands had already been slain.

With each kill, the world’s Purification Rate rose, now reaching 82%! Qin Xian stepped forward, radiating endless holy light that blanketed the entire city.

In that moment, he seemed to transform into a deity. His body grew, towering like a giant as he drove his massive sword into the ground. Complex, holy light runes surged from the earth across the city.

【Judgment Sermon】: A divine skill. Drive your holy sword into the ground, creating a 30,000-meter-wide field around you. Deal 50,000 points of holy damage to all targets within the area, with an additional 300% damage to undead, demons, and Void-type creatures. 

Creates a Holy Light Pool, which gathers 300 energy points for every enemy killed, up to 500,000 points. Upon completion, all energy is focused on the primary target, dealing an additional 500,000 holy damage. Cooldown: 7 days.

Boom!

Every Void creature in the city—over a hundred thousand—was engulfed and purified by the holy light!

The Empress, 【Empress Angelina】, was also slain in the powerful blast!

Simultaneously, the dungeon system displayed: World Purification Rate: 100%!
