Chapter 948: The Dark Immortal’s Starglobe
Qin Feng could not help but smile. Of course, he did not want to hide things from Bai Li. He told her everything about what happened to him during the course of his time there.
Originally, he thought that Bai Li would definitely get angry if he decided to act out on his own without permission but she did not care about these things.
“I knew you were gonna do this! Forget it, all that matters is that you’re safe. We have a contract, so whatever you’re doing I’m able to sense it. This time, if you get into something dangerous, I’ll definitely show up and beat the crap out of you!”
“In order to not have you beat me up, I’ll also keep myself out of trouble!” Qin Feng said, his eyes softened. “Thank you for your accompaniment, Bai Li!”
Qin Feng started out as an orphan, but ever since his rebirth he gained a better life, obtained a stronger level and saved his best friend’s life. For him though, what really changed was the one who made a contract with him, Bai Li.
This was his family. His partner!
When Bai Li heard Qin Feng’s words, she seemed to sense what he was also thinking in his heart. Leaning over, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
The two embraced, filling up the loneliness that they had been feeling for all this time.
While talking, Bai Li suddenly thought of something. “About the energy core of the Immortal turning into a starglobe, could it be the same with the starglobe that the Skeletal Fiend was talking about?”
“Hmm, I was waiting for you to return so I can properly ask the Skeletal Fiend. Last time I asked, it was pretty beat up, so it didn’t manage to say a lot. That or it’s actually hiding a lot of things from us!” Qin Feng said.
“Alright, this bastard actually thinks he can lie to us!”
Bai Li stretched out her hand and in her palm, a ten centimeter by ten centimeter cube cage appeared and inside it was the Skeletal Fiend.
The Skeletal Fiend did not shrink of course, it was just Bai Li manipulating the compression of space.
The Skeletal Fiend was like a frog under the well, if he had just looked he would see a massive Bai Li looking at him.
However, when he saw that the surroundings had changed he was overjoyed, thinking that the spatial beast had died and caused the space to collapse and he was finally able to escape.
“Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots, thinking that this can hold me down. Greed is the original sin, if only you didn’t go to that starglobe then you definitely wouldn’t have died, but who could resist such a temptation!”
The Skeletal Fiend cackled out loud.
Very quickly, consciousness blasted over like a rumbling earthquake and sent him bouncing around all over before he was sprawled out on the ground.
“Sure enough, you didn’t tell the truth last time!” Qin Feng said coldly.
The Skeletal Fiend’s laughter immediately halted and when it looked at its surroundings, its eye sockets seemingly widened.
Qin Feng and Bai Li were comparatively far too big, when he was not looking into the distance he did not notice the two people.
From where he was, he thought that the space barrier had been dissolved, but it was not. It turned into a silver cage. He was still in the other’s palm and all they needed to do was squeeze to kill him.
Right now, the current Bai Li made him feel dread, so did Qin Feng.
Click!
The Skeletal Fiend’s teeth clashed as he slammed his mouth shut. If he was not a dead body, he would have been swallowing hard by now with cold sweat dripping down his back.
Even though this was not actually happening, he was still visibly trembling. A sign of fear.
“Eight hundred year old creatures indeed have wisdom that we can’t imagine. Now, can you tell us about the Immortal’s starglobe!” Qin Feng said.
“You know about it?” The Skeletal Fiend secretly knew that this was not going to go well.
The Skeletal Fiend had lived for a long time, even maintaining a somewhat humanoid form. In fact, he too was a human back then.
However, the human race was one with strong ambition. When the Skeletal Fiend was a human, there was no way he could become an S-tier. As such, he relied on extreme methods to transform himself into an undead form, thus achieving S-tier.
As such, he successfully became a member of the Dark Coalition and knew a lot of things that S-tiers did not know.
Therefore, when the Skeletal Fiend saw Qin Feng and Bai Li, although they had great strength, they did not seem to be members of the Human Alliance so he tried to trick them as a form of revenge to get them both killed.
The waymark of the planet that the Skeletal Fiend mentioned was the crystal core of a dark ability Immortal. It had not been dead for very long, only for a hundred years. Many in the Dark Coalition knew about this.
However, in reality it was too dangerous.
As an object of darkness, any lifeform that set foot on that starglobe would get consumed.
The Skeletal Fiend did not dare approach it but in the void, he used a special method to blow up a region to retrieve a Hellstone from it.
Since the explosive force he used was too powerful, a spatial rift appeared and the Hellstone crashed into Qin Feng’s realm.
Previously, when he told Qin Feng about the waymark, he was hoping that Qin Feng and Bai Li would have gone to such a place. Even if they saw how dangerous it was and did not set foot on the starglobe, there were many Dark Coalition S-tiers that lingered around that place.
Whichever way, it was death.
What was unexpected was that Qin Feng did not go.
“Fiend, you better be honest about what you know. Too many uses of soul absorption and that little speck you call a soul will burn up into ashes!” Bai Li threatened.
“What do you want me to say? I have told you everything I know!”
Qin Feng chuckled coldly, “Of course, tell me if this Immortal has an inheritance or not, or that there is no inheritance at all and it is only just a place of death?”
The Aether Realm that Qin Feng was at before made it clear that the Immortal was indeed a snow lady. Snow ladies did not have many desires, but after having her homeland destroyed by a strong being with dark abilities, her heart was stained with hatred.
Hate did not blind her eyes or soul, she was still kind-hearted. So after she died, she left her inheritance in hopes that someone would obtain it and inherit her will to fight against Sky Demons.
Therefore, this so-called Immortal that the Skeletal Fiend was talking about, what kind of creature it had been, what its identity was and what it did after becoming the Immortal could be inferred. It was unclear if this was a kind of being to have left behind an inheritance or was it a being that did not want to be defiled by others even after death.
The Skeletal Fiend’s expression dropped as he looked at Bai Li.
Due to her massive size, the Skeletal Fiend was unable to avoid her silver gaze. When he thought about mustering up soul absorption, he shuddered and decided to speak the truth.
“The Immortal was part of the Abyss Dragon species. After it died, it transformed into a massive landmass. The Immortal’s crystal core is located on its head and it emits a powerful aura of death. Any living creature that approaches it would die!”
“So, I won’t lie to you when I say this. Only I can retrieve the Dark Sacred Stone. I will get it for you and you will let me go. This is a fair deal!”
Chapter 949: Comparable to the Disaster that Happened 200 Years Ago
“That’s where you’re wrong I’m afraid. Maybe the previous version of you could still go and get it, but now……” Qin Feng did not finish his sentence but his meaning was clear enough. If he let the Skeletal Fiend go now with his current strength, he would not reach the Hellstone. He would not even be able to step on that landmass!
Besides, he had asked what he wanted to ask. The dark starglobe of the Immortal was not a place that Qin Feng planned to go to, at least not with his current strength.
“Put it away!”
“Okay!”
Bai Li clapped her hands together and the Skeletal Fiend was put away.
“We can check it out next time. I’m afraid that this Immortal’s inheritance is more dangerous than the snow lady one you’ve been in. Not only that, Abyss Dragons are notoriously cruel beings, I doubt it would like anyone leering at its corpse.”
“Hmm, wait until my physical form reaches S-tier then we’ll go! With how dangerous that place is, nobody would get it!” Qin Feng said.
Moreover, among the races within the countless realms, the human race had the strongest learning capabilities and the strongest comprehension capability. That was why they liked to explore ruins of various powerful creatures. In that case, Qin Feng’s competitors were humans.
In that case, he was even less worried.
He had fought on endlessly for three months, when he returned to Fengli he finally considered relaxing. He had to handle a lot of accumulated work, attend many events he had to show up at, and carried out a series of announcements. He hoped that Fengli would grow more, and take in more talented B-tier aptitude users.
Of course, Qin Feng was also waiting for a new piece of news.
***
Great Rift Age, Year 220 June 3rd. A huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky and almost tore apart Earth’s atmosphere.
Qin Feng was doing an inspection on the surrounding colonies near Fengli City, but he sensed this almost instantly.
Bai Li looked toward the West at the same time.
The spatial fluctuations were shocking, as if something ominous and terrifying was about to happen.
Qin Feng’s pupils abruptly shrank.
The spatial rifts.
It was here!
Bai Li’s fox eyes were also widened, “Spatial beast!”
“What?” Qin Feng looked at her with surprise.
Although he knew this was going to happen, back in his previous life in Year 220 he was just a D-tier aptitude user. He was sent to deal with a series of beast waves that the spatial rifts caused. As he was dealing with things around a small colony, whatever caused such an event was something unknown to him.
Now, Bai Li said that it was a spatial beast!
“Is it the same species as you?” Qin Feng asked.
“No, spatial beast is just a general term, like how you people say feline ultra beasts. There’s a difference between a tiger and a cat!” Bai Li said, “It hasn’t appeared yet, so I don’t know how strong it is!”
“Let’s go and see!” Qin Feng said.
“Alright!” Bai Li agreed in an instant.
After reaching S-tier, Bai Li’s consciousness had extended in range and had become stronger than Qin Feng’s. She was truly an S-tier beast deity. Previously, Eye Devil could attack Qin Feng from anywhere, so Bai Li’s consciousness could naturally generate spatial waymarks in a distance.
Then, a spatial passage appeared. Bai Li and Qin Feng stepped through.
In the next moment, they appeared at the border of the Huaxia Alliance.
Looking up, that huge rift looked as if it had torn the sky open. Compared to what they could see at Fengli, this one was a breathtakingly terrifying sight.
There was a small colony not far away and there were panicked screams and blaring sirens. Even Qin Feng’s communicator was buzzing because of the public network sending out urgent mission calls.
However, with Qin Feng’s current position, such tasks could naturally be directly rejected.
Beep beep!
Qin Feng’s communicator rang and this time it was not from a public channel.
It was from Long Ting.
He quickly accepted the call and when the virtual screen popped up, Long Ting’s face appeared on the upper right corner, and appearing on other spots were the faces of S-tier aptitude users.
Long Ting had started up a group call.
“Everyone, you should all be aware of the current situation. With the emergence of the massive rift this time, based on the records, this is comparable to the catastrophe that happened 200 years ago. I’m not sure what will happen next but be ready for anything!”
The catastrophe two hundred years ago was the beginning of the Great Rift Age. It reduced Earth’s human population to less than 1%.
Of course, during that time humanity had no way of fighting back. It was different this time.
“Now, all of you head for Huaxia’s border. Those who can approach, accept the task and prepare for battle at any moment!”
After saying that Qin Feng’s communicator showed a display of the border zone of Huaxia’s territory.
Long Ting marked more than a dozen locations in one go. The closest one to Qin Feng was more than thirty kilometers away. The main reason for that was because there was a large city there that needed manpower to defend and even organize an evacuation.
Qin Feng pressed accept.
On the communicator, everyone began to talk.
“I’ll be over right away!”
“I’ll be handling things here!”
“This crisis really is unprecedented. I’ll call a few friends over, first we must defend Huaxia!”
“The rift seems to be over at the Amazon Alliance, their only S-tier seems to be Eye Devil!”
“Eye Devil might not guard the Amazon Alliance and decide to give up immediately. Those in the Amazon Alliance would be doomed!”
However, these S-tiers could not care too much. They had Huaxia’s own people to defend.
The S-tiers of Huaxia all began to move out. There was one that accepted the same task as Qin Feng, it was an S-tier aptitude user known as Fang Zhou.
Qin Feng had never heard of Fang Zhou before, so he did not know who this person was and did not meet up with them. Bai Li moved forward and arrived at the large city on the border of Huaxia, Qingfong City.
Qingfong City was situated on top of a majestic mountain. This made it easy to defend and difficult to besiege, making it a good place for a city. The surrounding small colonies were built on the nearby hills that complimented each other in times of crisis which they often faced deep within the mountains. Even though there was constant clean up, the surrounding beasts were generally powerful.
As such, Wu Qingfong, the city duke and a B-tier aptitude user, had many C-tier aptitude users under him. In such a situation, he was still calm for the time being.
When Qin Feng arrived, he directly burst through the spatial stabilization device with a spatial rift and frightened the rest. However, the city duke was quick to arrive to greet him, and when he saw Qin Feng’s badge he immediately recognized him.
“Marshal Qin, thank you for coming to help!”
“You’re welcome, it was Lady Long Ting’s idea!” Qin Feng said.
“I’ll be blunt with you, Marshal Qin. Wait here for the moment. When the rift suddenly appeared the energy here fluctuated greatly. The ultra beasts are stirring and I need to gather my defenses.”
Wu Qingfong’s calm nature did not mean that he was not in a hurry.
