Chapter 820: Bloodshed across the Prairie

"How do you feel? Can your body take it?" Qin Feng asked solemnly.

Han Mingwen shook his head. "I still have the appetite to eat a cow!"

The energy spurt did not lead to any suffering. Han Mingwen gained the power of an aptitude user almost instantly with no apparent setbacks.

Qin Feng felt relieved at last. He was once again astounded by the power veiled by this Fettered Land.

If he could harness this concealed power, the day humans returned to the pinnacle of the food chain might not be long.

But there was no need to rush. This plan could be carried out slowly. Qin Feng was not entirely selfless. Before sharing it with the world, he needed to make sure he and his corporation would get the most benefit from it first.

"Eat them up. There are still some carcasses outside. Have them processed as well and make sure everyone gets a bite. As for the extra, send them back to the colony through the tunnel!"

"Yes, President!"

Under Qin Feng's order, Wang Cheng swiftly distributed the tasks.

The spatial passage was connected straight into a cave, so these people had no idea what the outside world looked like.

As they exited the cave, the strong bloody smell changed the looks on their faces. The initial excitement had plummeted and turned into wariness. However, other than the carcasses lying around, there was no imminent danger within sight.

"Haul them in, cleanse the bloodstains, and sprinkle beast repellent around the perimeter!"

"Roger, Captain!"

These men acted quickly. They were clearly still not a coherent group but none of them was slacking. With the hard, honest work of one hundred men, the carcasses of all fifty unicorns were stacked in front of the spatial passage in less than ten minutes. They estimated the portion needed and retained only ten bodies. The rest was sent back to Earth.

The person in charge of the laboratory waiting on the other side of the door responded immediately. They took over the experimental materials and processed them on the spot. Half of it was sent to Z's laboratory.

Inside the cave, Li Yue once again demonstrated his exceptional cooking skills. Everyone else was busy with their respective responsibility too, especially Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng took a trip back to Fenghuang colony with several men. He went back to amass the necessities and packed them into spatial rings. He had the rings delivered into Hall Zero and ordered his subordinates to carry them over to the other side.

These included shovels, metal plates, tanks, cannonballs, charcoals, cooking utensils, and so on.

Meanwhile, while waiting for the beast to be cooked, several groups received the instruction to construct a temporary base.

Without the participation of earth ability users, the fortress built by hand might crumble easily if they were to encounter a stampede. But Wang Cheng insisted on setting up one. He intended to establish as many safety measures as possible so that these men had the best chance to survive in this foreign world.

Qin Feng was deeply pleased with Wang Cheng's performance. Wang Chen had found the right man for the job.

"I will leave the rest to you. Be aware of your own safety. I will scout the area further!"

After Qin Feng left, the mood inside the cave became more relaxed.

Qin Feng was the president of Fengli, after all. Among them, only two had met Qin Feng before during the Prodigy Trial held in Fengli City.

The rest had never met him in person, so they behaved prudishly. With Qin Feng gone, their tensed nerves could finally be loosened a little.

"Come and eat, the food is ready!"

"Doesn't matter if it's half cooked. These meats must contain an unbelievable amount of energy. Eating the raw ones might have a better effect!"

"Ah, this energy… It's incredible. Can I really become an aptitude user?"

They were highly enthused

Meanwhile, Qin Feng began to explore the wild.

On this prairie, each population made up a large herd. They gathered closely and hunted other beasts together. Herbivores similar to the unicorns were ample here. He also sighted wolf packs, tigers, and leopards. They might not be gigantic in size but their auras were for sure massive.

He scouted the area briefly with binoculars and quickly came to a conclusion—This was not an ideal living place.

A small group of jackal beasts, maybe five or six of them, would be enough to eliminate the entire troop of Qin Feng's future soldiers.

Qin Feng could not protect these people all the time. As such, the best solution was to bloodbath the whole prairie.

However, it would be tedious to take out the herds one by one. Qin Feng would make them come to him.

It would be a piece of cake. All he needed was just some beast lure powder.

Although Qin Feng was aware that it was a rather brutal plan, he had no other feasible option.

Thus, he returned to the cave and asked Wang Cheng to prepare the powder.

Learning that Qin Feng was asking for lure instead of repellent, Wang Cheng was baffled. But he was not in the position to question his superior's motive so he went and got it without saying another word.

"All of you can return to Fengli first. I will call for you when everything is ready here!" said Qing Feng.

Wang Cheng gave it a thought and objected, "We should stay. At the very least, we can help you carry the carcasses. Don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves and not be your burden!"

Qin Feng did not reject the request. Wang Cheng and most of them were just civilians. It was better to introduce them to the harsh world sooner than later.

Of course, Wang Cheng had sprinkled a thick layer of repelling powder at the entrance of the cave.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, opened the lure beast powder at the edge of a puddle hundreds of meters away from the cave. The scent wafted instantly.

A few years back when Qin Feng was framed by someone in Sea City, he had used Sea Extract to stimulate the sea beasts. Naturally, he was not using the same type of pheromone this time.

But they should all work the same.

'Now we wait and see whether the beasts in this dimension would fall for it.'

They emerged almost instantaneously.

The hunters on this prairie were the first to approach. These wolves sniffed and looked toward Qin Feng. They were bemused as they did not see the prey they were coming for. They started to run wild. Qin Feng, naturally, became their only target.

The wolves dashed at him.

Without surprise, Qin Feng hardly broke a sweat and dealt with them effortlessly.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of frisking was heard approaching not long after the wolves were killed. It belonged to a group of herbivores.

Qin Feng charged on and left no creature alive.

Next to the winding waterfall beside the cave, Wang Cheng fired a crossbow and caught a wolf carcass neatly. The arrow pierced into the flesh and was stuck there.

The end of the arrow was tied to a thick rope.

"Pull it back!"

"Yes!"

The civilians behind Wang Cheng immediately pulled the carcass back. Then, it was stacked aside and prepared for delivery.

But their movements were too slow as compared to Qin Feng. When they finally pulled back the eighth body, Qin Feng had done slaughtering another herd.

The smell of blood gradually smeared the prairie. It intensified the lure and triggered more beasts to swarm over in his direction.

Qin Feng's massacre began.

On this prairie, the strongest beast was not even B-tier. Without any concern that would hold him back, Qin Feng was free to kill in this land as he pleased.

Chapter 821: One Month Later

Qin Feng's massacre lasted up to one full month!

He did not know just how many ultra beasts he had killed, if it did not number around a million, there at least had to be more than a hundred thousand slain.

The once lust and vibrant prairie from the previous month had disappeared, there were not many ultra beasts around but there were still plenty of mutant plants that people could research on.

Within this month, countless materials were taken away from this Fettered Land by Qin Feng and in just a month's time the civilians in this team had all broken through into becoming E-tier aptitude users, even the one capable gunner had broken through into D-tier.

Such terrifying promotion would shock people.

This experiment was undoubtedly a success!

Not only that, the second and third teams of the unawakened prospects had even expanded into thirteen teams. A total one thousand three hundred people stepped into the dimension and had established a self-sufficient tribal society here.

Of course, E-tier and D-tier were the extent of these prairies, so the D-tiers, except for those in the management, left the dimension to officially join the Fengli Organization on the outside.

The Fengli Organization was getting stronger and stronger as days passed, all of this was being done in secret.

In one month's time, the deadline for Qin Feng and Chu Fan's agreement had arrived!

In the cave, a group of people had painted the spatial gateway with fresh blood. These people often entered and exited through there, but the opening of the door today had a completely different meaning.

Within this month, there was only one person who did not leave. That person was Qin Feng.

By now, he was ready to leave. After all, he did not improve by much while he was in here.

However, if there were creatures that were B-tier or above that appeared he would naturally return so he could add something that could improve himself.

As for the unawakened prospect teams, they lost their most powerful warrior but they respected Qin Feng's choice and did not dare go against it.

His month-long slaughter had only made that bloody aura around his body even more intense!

As the blood slowly dyed the spatial gateway red, silver light radiated from it and a black spatial passage opened up.

In full view of everyone, Qin Feng stepped into the spatial gateway and disappeared into the cave. They kept their eyes on the figure as he moved.

After a month, he had returned to his original dimension again, at Fengli colony's Hall 0. A C-tier aptitude user was guarding the place and when the passage opened up, she thought that someone had come out to gather supplies.

However, when the figure walked out the aura that oozed from this person's body was overwhelming and the sight of this figure was enough to make anyone's mind go blank.

After a pause for about eight whole seconds, the C-tier aptitude user stood up from her seat and exclaimed, "Pre-president! You're back!"

Qin Feng gave the C-tier a glance and nodded. "Mhm! Zheng Qian, your strength has improved by a lot!"

The person who guarded Hall 0 was naturally a trustworthy person. Zheng Qian was also the first C-tier to follow Qin Feng and was entrusted to him after the death of Governor Gao Yukang. Now that almost two years had passed, Zheng Qian's power had reached up to C5-tier at an astonishing speed, but it was not as good as Qin Feng's pace.

"It's all thanks to you, President. Without the resources you provided, I wouldn't have improved so much!"

Zheng Qian's words were sincere. The resources provided by Qin Feng was not something that even A-tiers could compare to.

However, everything that Qin Feng distributed were things that he did not have to use. His strength was enough that even just a little bit of it would be enough for someone!

"Well, keep working hard…"

Qin Feng was going to say more, but at this moment the Verdant Emperor Saber suddenly made a humming sound.

After it made the sound, the weapon's aura vibrated as if there were countless souls shaking it, roaring and wanting to fly out.

The souls sealed in the Soul-Locking Stone, after gaining energy, could be seen by Qin Feng.

The aura coming off from Qin Feng was scary enough, but now the Verdant Emperor Saber burst forth its own terrifying aura. Zheng Qian, a C5-tier aptitude user, was shaken to the core and rapidly backed up ten paces away. Her face was extremely pale with fright.

Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

After thinking for a moment, he opened up one of his spatial rune equipment.

This was the spatial rune equipment with high-level materials that Wang Chen usually collected. It had C-tier beast king materials and above, but there were not many of these ultra beasts present. He only managed to kill up to thirteen in a month's time. Qin Feng pulled out a black-scaled C3-tier Scaled Leopard Beast Emperor, cut off some of its scaled armor plating and took out the Magical Tesseract, placing the materials inside it.

A few seconds later, a simple scabbard with no runes on its surface appeared in Qin Feng's hands. He put the Verdant Emperor Saber into it and the roars and hums of the souls ceased immediately!

The beasts inside the Fettered Land did not carry any energy signatures with them, but whether it was an ultra beast or a mutant plant, its toughness and strength were very high. The scabbard made from the fusion of these scales would suffice to temporarily seal his weapon's aura.

However, he could clearly sense that the inside of the scabbard was beginning to crack. Although this was subtle, the scabbard would only last for about ten days before it would completely deteriorate.

The grade of these materials were too low!

This would have to do for now.

Without the Verdant Emperor Saber's aura, Zheng Qian felt relaxed.

It was no wonder that Wanzhong's Spatial Chain Rend was considered as a dark technique. Such power, with just a mere whiff of it, would send people into retreat as they break out into cold sweat!

"It's alright now!"

"Ah, it's fine President!" Zheng Qian quickly waved her hands. She was only affected by the sword's aura, she was not injured but in her mind her view of Qin Feng had only improved.

When he saw that she was fine, he was relieved and then he called Bai Li through his thoughts.

Almost instantly, a silver light flashed around him and Bai Li's form appeared.

They had not seen each other for a month and both had missed one another greatly.

"Yikes, you really don't know when to give up. You actually stayed in a place like that for a month! Phew! You stink all over!" Bai Li exclaimed, starting to fuss over him.

Qin Feng could not help himself from laughing, calling on the water ability to wash away the bloody stench from his body and seemingly refreshed soon after. However, in Zheng Qian's eyes, Qin Feng still reeked of danger.

Bai Li seemed to not feel Qin Feng's pressure, immediately wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in to sniff him before nodding in satisfaction.

"Okay, quit messing around. To Chongluo City!"

"Okay!"

Bai Li chirped a reply and waved at Zheng Qian before snapping her fingers and opening up a spatial passage in front of the two!

The passage directly led to the outskirts of Chongluo City.

The Fengli Organization airships had already arrived and the Fettered Land had extended outward by a few meters more. They had connected a new stairway and the metal ability users had formed a new passage as well.

This day was a very important day for the aptitude users who were still alive in Chongluo City!

Chapter 822: The Passage is Open Again

After one month, the people who survived until this time were less than one-tenth in Chongluo City.

Chongluo City was a large city with a population of one million. Last time, more than one hundred thousand people followed Qin Feng out and left behind nine hundred thousand people. However, it looked like only seventy to eighty thousand people had survived these past cruel intense months from the looks of things.

The pressure of survival, scarcity of food, the city going into a standstill, the issue with food rations and not starving to death were the biggest problems.

When people were fighting over the food that remained, they would have to leave their homes and had a chance of getting attacked by ultra beasts or killed by increasing numerous mutant plants.

Once the rations were gone, the only thing one could do was spontaneously fight ultra beasts. It was life or death inside there.

Under these circumstances, everyone who survived was not weak.

The entire Chongluo City had been divided into three forces.

One of them was Chu Fan acting under Qin Feng's orders.

Within a month the Devourer had evolved into a D-tier beast king. Although Qin Feng had reached D-tier, they were definitely no match for a D-tier beast king. They were only normal parallel-trained D-tier ancient warriors.

That being said, the potential for the Devourer was incredibly strong.

As a result, Chu Fan, who had mastered the Devourer, gathered a team of five thousand people under him. Under this team, they could protect people and feed them as well. Overall, under Chu Fan's protection, there were eventually three hundred to four hundred thousand people who followed under his command.

In addition to Chu Fan, there was also a team that was led by a woman. This woman was the same one that killed the Tiger King that Qin Feng severely wounded.

She was actually in her thirties. In aptitude user terms, she was really not that old but for civilians, she had reached the age where she had experienced a lot in her life that made her understand the hardships of life which only made her more vicious.

After she hid away, she consumed the Tiger King entirely and left no trace behind. In the matter of seven days, the huge tiger ended up in her belly.

Wang Qin's height suddenly rose up, her body looked like it had been pinched and stretched. She had lost weight.

She was now 185cm in height, so she stood out among ordinary women. Due to her having lost weight, she looked young and beautiful but when it came to ordinary men she exuded absolute pressure.

The people that Wang Qin rescued were all women, the team only had one thousand people and there were no aptitude users among them. They were all civilians and supported by the ultra beasts that Wang Qin hunted down.

However, these women also had families and friends, so their team got bigger and bigger, gradually forming a team of up to twenty thousand people.

The third force was the smallest team with only five hundred people, but it was the most powerful.

It was the only C-tier parallel-trained ancient warrior, Zhang Wu's team.

After running away for his life, Zhang Wu did not dare try to follow the Fengli Organization out a month before. He even felt that this world was one where he was all-powerful. He stayed behind and contacted a few former aptitude users. After organizing hunts and robbing resources, he discovered that the meat of the ultra beasts could increase a person's strength, so he naturally became fiercer and fiercer as he tried to rapidly increase his strength.

Of course, Zhang Wu was a lustful man, so there were a large number of young and beautiful women in his team which totaled up to two to three thousand people.

And then, there were teams of a few hundred people about, teams of a few dozen people, all scattered about the decaying, decadent Chongluo City.

In just one month, plant growth had been rampant. Chongluo City was no longer a concrete jungle, but a city covered by lush vegetation. There were always ultra beasts coming into the area, threatening those that tried to survive here.

The most central location of Chongluo City still had people who regularly cleaned it. The Fengli Organization's stairway was the only hope they had to escape this place.

Especially with the team that Chu Fan had established, people had become more convinced that they would leave.

And now, the grey sky above their heads started to become pitch black and a silver light emerged.

What followed was the launch of signal flares so the entire city could see this happening.

Within a month, the surviving humans had adapted to life here and even more of them dared to stand tall.

"Goodness me! The Fengli Org- The Fengli Organization is really here again!"

"Let's go, even if we die on the way there, we must reach the central square!"

"If I really do get out, I want to join the Fengli Organization. I don't care what position they put me in. I'll be happy to work for them all my life!"

Countless teams made up their minds almost immediately and came out of their hiding spots, overcoming obstacles and rushing for the central square.

Chu Fan's team stationed at the central square also stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that such happiness would come so suddenly.

"Mr. Chu! Shall we…leave?" A large man asked, occasionally glancing at the Devourer Chu Fan sat on top of in fear.

It was different from the ultra beasts in this dimension, it had a huge body and looked like it was developing in the same way the Glutton Leviathan was. Its body had reached the height of six stories tall and was like a massive hill.

There were no runes here, no abilities, so it naturally could not use size-changing. The Devourer's size could only get bigger and bigger.

Chu Fan looked down at the people, each of them were so small to him. They had to raise their heads and shout loudly with anxious expressions and bright eyes. It seemed that even if Chu Fan refused, they would act in secret.

Of course, he did not refuse.

"Order everyone to evacuate!" Chu Fan answered.

Those people all cheered excitedly.

Clang! Clang!

In the black passage, the metal stairway could be seen connected to the top of the original stairway. Some people even entered, holding tools to connect these two stairs together.

Chu Fan added, "Control the people properly first. Don't let anyone go up. Wait until the Fengli people are done with the ladder and we'll go together!"

"Yes, Mr. Chu!"

The person below replied loudly then went about to busy himself, but he could not hide his excitement, 'Finally, I don't need to listen to this brat any longer. He still looked out for us in the end, that was unexpected. Forget it, once we're back in the original world, whether or not he brings that Devourer creature, I'll stop bothering this kid!'

Although Chu Fan had saved countless people, sometimes he would feed the bodies of dead humans to the Devourer. In their eyes, they respected and feared Chu Fan, now that they could escape him, they were more than happy.

At this time, nobody was thinking about staying in this plane. Only Chu Fan, standing on top of the Devourer, had a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

"Finally rid of these idiots!"

In his line of sight, people had gradually begun to gather. The once quiet Chongluo City was bustling once again!

Chapter 823: The Cause of Ruination

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After having fought tooth and nail for a month, most of the survivors had obtained the capabilities of aptitude users.

However, their line of thought definitely was not about staying here and awakening into aptitude users.

There were only ultra beasts here, nowhere was safe. As time went on, they would definitely end up dead. Instead, why not bring their new identities as aptitude users back into their original world?

Back in the original world, even though they had the space stabilization device, that kind of protection was only temporary. Now that they had become aptitude users, their lives had changed entirely.

Then, there were some people, even after a month's time, who were unable to awaken into aptitude users. For them, being alive was no better than being dead, especially the women that were in Zhang Wu's group. There was nobody that desired to return to the ordinary world more than them, not only that, there were a good number of aptitude users that were fanatically looking for a chance at revenge against him.

However, due to Z, Chu Fan wanted to cultivate the Devourer while Zhang Wu felt that this world was his kingdom and wanted to stay, controlling the women under him so that they would not be allowed to leave.

As such, throughout the city there was a series of clashes and skirmishes.

Chu Fan's group and Wang Qin's team quickly gathered. After the Fengli people had finished welding the stairway, they released a blue signal flare to indicate that people could start moving and then let these people on one after another.

The people below could not help but shout in excitement.

"Finally, I can leave this terrible place!"

"Move it, hurry up!"

"Don't shove!"

The crowd was noisy, nobody formed disciplined groups, just fleeing and running away.

Fortunately, there were not as many people this time. People were running out from every part of the city, but there was a sequence to it. Already there were people who had arrived at the top and regained a new leash of life.

Qin Feng was in the airship control room watching through drone surveillance footage. People moved like ants, rushing out, wanting to leave the area.

One person came out, ten thousand, twenty thousand…fifty thousand, sixty thousand!

As time passed, almost 70% of the people had escaped. The aura of these people could be detected by the consciousness and what he found was surprising.

Fifty thousand to sixty thousand people were gathered together. Even the weakest among them were G5-tier and the higher ones were C-tier in power.

This was a powerful force, not only that, these people had no choice but to follow Qin Feng.

Due to Qin Feng having won his bet against Liu Chong earlier, people were able to escape the place but Liu Chong would not be able to interfere with the Fengli Organization, nor would he be able to participate in Chongluo City's affairs.

Now even if Liu Chong regretted it and wanted to return, he could not!

Qin Feng looked at these people as if he was watching the future formation of the Fengli Organization.

He believed that once these people were out, the abandoned Chongluo City would gradually become a ruined Fettered Land!

At this moment, the overlapped space was surrounded by a silver-grey mist as it violently shook. This shaking was obvious and could be seen with the naked eye. Even if Qin Feng could not hear the sound, the stairway connecting both ends shook and clattered, almost as if it was going to collapse.

Qin Feng's expression suddenly fell.

"Get out, hurry!"

As soon as he called out, Bai Li and he were already surrounded by silver light and immediately appeared over the overlapped space, near the stairway.

At this time, those who had already escaped the overlapped space after reaching the top of the stairs were about to step onto the stairs created by metal ability users.

"Aaaaiee!"

People cried out in terror, some had even fallen.

Qin Feng unleashed his consciousness and managed to grab the few people who fell. They struggled for a bit but realized that they were no longer falling. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully looked at Qin Feng who was floating in the air.

Boom!

He poured internal force into his hands and pressed them firmly against the side of the stairs.

Suddenly the stairs stabilized, but the previous quake earlier caused the people in the overlapped space to fall off due to the vibrations. Here, nobody could save them. Amidst the screams, they crashed from a high altitude and became pancakes.

There was chaos in the overlapped space.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

"Is it another beast wave?!"

"Run, what are you waiting for?"

Those people pushed forward with everything they had, trying to escape.

In the overlapped space, Chu Fan stood up in shock at the same time and looked around.

Nothing in his surroundings had changed. The vibration seemed to have come out of nowhere, but the Devourer under him made a cry of distress.

No beast wave was appearing, and even ultra beasts that hunted humans before fled one after another as if they had encountered a natural enemy, running away faster than anyone else.

At this moment, at the outskirts of the northern zone, several buildings collapsed.

This could be seen more clearly on the outside.

The Fengli drones quickly moved out and captured a terrifying scene. The Northern city wall had been broken through and had collapsed. The earth on the ground looked like it had been turned over, as if there was a creature burrowing in the ground below. From the looks of things, it was a massive beast.

This terrifying beast was massive in size. It caused destruction wherever it went, causing several buildings to collapse.

It moved full steam ahead, making a beeline for Chu Fan!

"Dodge!"

Chu Fan ordered and the Devourer bounced up into the air as the ground vibrated again!

As the Devourer left, the massive beast finally burst out of the ground.

It was a terrifying creature with barbed scales all over its body, but this kind of beast was not uncommon in other dimensions.

It was a Plow Worm!

An absolutely horrifying sight.

It was a kind of ultra beast that could attack from underground, emerging to swallow its victims whole and dragging them away without a trace. These beasts were scary enough when they had reached E-tier but when a beast like that were to reach D-tier, one was enough to threaten an entire city.

Fortunately, this kind of beast did not have the potential to reach any higher than that. It was due to the fact that earthworms in general had very basic genes, being simple creatures and all. Before the Great Rift Age, the earthworm was an insignificant creature, easily killed off with just a mild squeeze.

Now, this earthworm was terrifying. It was about fifty to sixty meters wide and while the Devourer was about six stories tall, it was only roughly twenty meters wide. The Devourer was a large beast, but the Plow Worm was able to gulp it down in one bite.

Absolutely horrifying!

This kind of stature, this kind of power, that could only be applied to A-tier ultra beasts.

Even when the Plow Worm came all this way, its body was recognizable and could be estimated to be three kilometers long.

Chapter 824: Terrifying Beast Emperor

The Devourer jumped away as this Plow Worm reared its head and opened its mouth to bite down toward the direction where the Devourer originally stood. Under the drone's live broadcast, everyone broke out into cold sweat at this scene.

The maw of the Plow Worm was like a dark cave. Inside that maw were what looked like dense rows of constantly rotating teeth. Whatever fell into its mouth would get crushed.

However, the Devourer's speed was no match for the Plow Worm's.

The Devourer jumped away and the Plow Worm was in hot pursuit. As its body squirmed and turned, a large group of buildings collapsed to the ground, crushing hundreds of people to death.

"Noooo!"

Zhang Wu exclaimed, the building he was in began to tilt but he could not get out in time. The body was sometimes a fragile thing.

Soon his screams were drowned out by the rubble and nobody would have cared if he was among the dead!

At the central square, the Devourer was finally caught as the Plow Worm grabbed onto the Devourer's leg.

"Skreeeeeaaaagh!"

The Devourer let out a roar of distress. Even with its large body struggling with all its strength it could not break free.

At this time, Chu Fan, who was on the Devourer's head, decided to let go.

A large colorful bird flew up into the sky, soaring over the Devourer at this urgent moment as it was getting eaten by the Plow Worm to pick up Chu Fan with its claws!

Chu Fan's wisdom was unparalleled, while he was raising the Devourer, he did not forget to tame other ultra beasts. In a situation where there was no consciousness nor internal force, the sky became an area where nobody could access. It was an entirely safe place.

After so many days, there were never any bird-type ultra beasts that approached Chongluo City but Chu Fan found a parrot that was kept by the wealthy. After feeding it ultra beast meat, he managed to raise it into this current state.

A scarlet macaw with a three meter wide wing span, and while it was extremely weak in combat, it had no problems flying around with Chu Fan.

"Squawk! So heavy! So heavy!"

The parrot called out with human speech, extremely loudly as well!

"Shut up and fly!"

Chu Fan said angrily, his face looked extremely peeved.

He lost the trump card to take on Z, but it was still possible that he could return to his original dimension!

The huge parrot flapped its wings, soaring into the sky to enter the spatial passage and escaped!

However, its colorful feathers seemed to have attracted the Plow Worm!

The huge Plow Worm swallowed the Devourer in one gulp. Even such a large creature would not cause the Plow Worm indigestion, to it the Devourer was nothing more but a snack.

As it twisted its body, more and more buildings collapsed. Amidst the dust filling the air, it leaned its body against the stairway.

Kerrrack!

The stairwell was instantly overwhelmed and it became scrap metal.

Qin Feng, who had been originally stabilizing the stairs could no longer help but to let go.

However, the Plow Worm slowly reared its head.

For something that was three thousand meters long, a three-hundred-meter-height was nothing at all!

"Oh gosh! It's trying to come out!"

The people on the outside were all surprised. In that instant, they started to scatter.

"Hurry up and close the spatial passage!"

"What are you waiting for, are you insane? It's coming out!"

However, Qin Feng's eyes glinted. It even looked like there was excitement in his eyes!

"Airships fall back as far as you can. Bai Li, send them away!" Qin Feng ordered before putting the final nail in the coffin after a pause, "Let it come out!!"

The people who were rescued did not know Qin Feng's strength. They all looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief, thinking that he was crazy and wanted to jump over to knock sense into him.

However, they could not. With a wave of her hand, Bai Li sent them all away as a wide silver light appeared.

In an instant, these five to six thousand people were all sent ten thousand meters away!

The airships also flew away. In fear of a huge earthquake the moment the Plow Worm reached this dimension, they had to quickly move these people away.

The Senior Officer that followed the Fengli Organization along this time was Wang Chen.

This time, he mobilized the Floating City without hesitation.

The survivors of Chongluo City who were chiding Qin Feng for losing his marbles suddenly felt a shift in their surroundings. The next moment, the sky above their heads turned dark and a huge city emerged from a spatial rift.

The huge Floating City blotted out the Sun, casting a large shadow.

Bai Li saw this and waved her hand again, sending the people on the ground onto the Floating City.

Just as these people left the ground, the Plow Worm had already burst out of the spatial passage.

The moment the Plow Worm appeared, Qin Feng had already recognized the beast's aura.

An A-tier beast emperor!

It was weaker than Bai Li, but it was still dangerous. It was a terrifying beast comparable to the Glutton Leviathan!

Qin Feng began to channel internal force from his dantian.

"Dragon Claw Hook!"

In the beginning, Qin Fneg did not practice much after he figured out the Dragon Slam move. He later did a bit of reading after he had returned to the original dimension. With his current strength and practicing B-tier techniques, he was able to master it in an instant.

With simple moves, he had already made astounding progress.

His hands were poised like that of Dragon Claws as he channeled his internal force. Floating in the air, a pair of Dragon Claws that was three hundred meters long began to appear.

The Plow Worm had raised about a hundred meters of its body, but the three hundred meter Dragon Claws emitted a golden glow as it hooked onto the upper half of the Plow Worm's body.

"Get out of there!!!"

Qin Feng roared, internal force bursting forth as the golden Dragon Claws hoisted up the Plow Worm Emperor!

At that moment, the A-tier beast emperor's aura was exposed and spread up to hundreds of kilometers away. All the neighbouring cities started to blare their emergency alarms. The nearby Floating City had to activate its defensive shields so that the people on board would not get their internal organs damaged by the beast emperor's roars.

The survivors saw all of this while on the Floating City from their long distance away, witnessing the three thousand meter long Plow Worm get ripped out of Chongluo City's ruins in broad daylight. It was a shocking sight!

Qin Feng abruptly yanked the Plow Worm out and Bai Li followed up with her own move!

"Spatial Barrier, Cubic Clasp!"

This was the second time Bai Li unleashed her barrier power. This time, she was A-tier, and being an A1-tier humanoid ultra beast she was already considered as a beast deity.

In addition to the items inherited from the beast deities, the Chiliad Orb burst out with a never before seen light.

Then, a massive cube that was a thousand meters wide appeared in the air.

Qin Feng stopped channeling his internal force, taking the suspended Plow Worm and twisted his body before slamming it down toward the massive cube.

Afterward, the Cubic Clasp sealed itself and the space within started to fragment. The Plow Worm inside was instantly slashed!

"Skreeeeee!"

Chapter 825: Systematically Destroyed

The spatial barrier could not completely block out the earth-shattering roar, the vibrations could be felt up to even a hundred kilometers away.

As for the Floating City, its energy shields shook violently as people stared at the giant Tesseract in the sky with a mixture of fear and awe.

Boom!

The Cubic Clasp was shattered in an instant. The suspended giant creature fell to the ground in pieces.

The crowd let out a cheer, that was because this giant beast had been sliced into different pieces!

This kind of injury would have killed any normal ultra beast, but Plow Worms were different.

All of its cells could be separated and become an independent creature. Even when they fell to the ground, they could escape in the blink of an eye.

However, Qin Feng would not let any of these things escape.

"Fire Wall!"

Qin Feng instantly unleashed a sea of flames. The huge sea of flames stretched on for thousands of meters and turned it crimson.

The Plow Worm Emperor's body fell to the ground, but sunk into the magma and let out a pained screech!

"Phantom Shift!"

Qin Feng's figure split into a hundred phantoms, all rushing in different directions. His main body was rushing toward one of the parts of the Plow Worm that Bai Li had segmented.

The body of the Plow Worm was only about one hundred meters away. After being split, it was already growing an opening for a mouth but the aura around it indicated that it had dropped to being a B5-tier beast king. Qin Feng's hand began to emit darkness.

Apocalypse Bloom began to form in his hand.

As it was formed in haste, the Apocalypse Bloom did not spread around too much but it enveloped the Plow Worm's body in an instant.

From that moment, the B5-tier beast king's strength was engulfed by Qin Feng's dark ability and lost its vitality.

"Ability, Absorb!"

He slammed a hand against the side of the beast and dark ability surged through it, spreading out like a hungry mouth that tried to swallow its prey whole.

He felt an incomparably powerful energy seep into his body. In an instant, it felt as if his physical strength had soared up by one level!

After the Absorption Ability broke out, that particular segment of the Plow Worm Emperor's body was entirely drained by his ability and became a deflating sack of skin with barbs on it.

Qin Feng thought to himself that this time, he had 'eaten' quite a lot in a bite.

He put the skin into his spatial rune equipment and once again unleashed the Phantom Shift.

The sliced up Plow Worm Emperor was unable to burrow into the ground due to the Fire Wall that Qin Feng had put up, and could only kill him, the instigator.

The Plow Worm Emperor still had some astounding attacks, managing to shatter Bai Li's Spatial Barrier but now that its power had been reduced, it had no way of forcing its way through another barrier!

As such, it could only fight.

Qin Feng did not give it the chance to, neither would Bai Li.

After seeing that a section of the Plow Worm Emperor was about to snatch up Qin Feng, Bai Li activated her spatial ability and split the body into two down the middle.

Rip!

The Plow Worm was cut open, its barbed and rock-like outer shell peeling open and revealing its soft white flesh. As it was being baked by the magma, it released a meaty fragrance.

Of course, the body was no longer alive.

Now matter how powerful a Plow Worm was, when its body was split apart vertically, it would have been unable to regenerate from that kind of injury.

Bai Li raised her hand and swept the meat away into her space.

As they were being systematically destroyed, in the blink of an eye the Plow Worm's body only had three moving segments left. One was seven hundred meters, another was one thousand meters and another was five hundred meters.

The others were all wiped out by Qin Feng and Bai Li's efforts.

In the burning magma, the Plow Worm Emperor segments were getting roasted by Qin Feng's flames each passing moment. They were fighting desperately to kill him.

The seven hundred meter long one was a B9 tier Plow Worm Emperor plunged into the magma before bursting out, trying to bite onto Qin Feng. However, it only managed to catch one of his phantoms.

Boom boom boom!

The only one that managed to still be A-tier that was a thousand meters long rolled forward, trying to crush Qin Feng with its body.

A fire dragon burst out from under his feet, snatching him out of the Plow Worm's attack.

The fire dragon circled around which led to him landing on the third one that was five hundred meters long, a B6-tier beast emperor.

Due to the magma's high temperature, the sharp barbs on the Plow Worm's skin had melted away and become safe to stand on. Even its rocky exterior was starting to soften.

He grasped the Verdant Emperor Saber's scabbard while the other hand gripped its handle.

Wom!

The Verdant Emperor Saber made a humming sound.

In the next moment, the weapon that had become a powerful god weapon was unleashed.

Kraaaauwh!

Then, there seemed to be the sound of a thousand souls wailing as Qin Feng poured his internal force into the weapon, making the souls swell up before locking on and madly rushing at the ultra beast under his feet.

"Wanzhong's Spirit Chain Rend, A Thousand Cuts!"

A phantom shrouded with internal force slammed down and instantly tore a hole in the five hundred meter long Plow Worm Emperor's body.

"Skree-"

The Plow Worm Emperor getting attacked by Qin Feng suddenly screeched and its body trembled violently, but when magma splashed against its wounds it doubled the damage!

"Magma Pillar, Burst!"

Qin Feng raised his hand and started to control the Fire Wall. Hundreds of Magma Pillars burst out from the ground and forcibly flipped the Plow Worm over to sink its wounds into the magma and burned them immediately.

The Plow Worm continued to struggle violently before it eventually lost its life.

He only felt another powerful force being integrated into his body.

He could feel his body brimming with energy. Within a month, his continuous hunting and consumption of ultra beasts in the overlapped space were accumulating in his cells to a certain extent, and now they were all breaking out of their limits.

Physical power, B6 tier!

Qin Feng did not intend to just end like that.

He stepped onto the body of the Plow Worm and activated his Absorption Ability. The flesh turned into a steady stream of energy that flowed into his body, strengthening him.

This was a joyous feeling.

Constant improvement every moment.

In just a few moments, the five-hundred-meter long Plow Worm Emperor had completely turned into an empty shell and Qin Feng's aura swelled again.

His gaze turned to the two remaining Plow Worms.

While Plow Worms had low intellect, they understood what danger was and instinctively wanted to burrow into the ground, but that was no longer possible. There were only two ultra beasts left and both of them finally decided to try and flee.

However, this was the wrong decision.

Bai Li activated the Chiliad Orb in her hand and activated her spatial runes.

"Spatial Enchantment, Cubic Clasp!"

In an instant, the kilometer long Plow Worm was imprisoned inside her tesseract.

Meanwhile, dark runes were culminating inside Qin Feng's hand.

"Apocalypse Bloom!"

Chapter 826: Continuous Advancement, B7-Tier

The Apocalypse Bloom exploded into a strong dark presence, while the massive ultra beast was instantly drowned.

Ultra beasts from the Fettering Land did not use their energy, despite their limitless and massive energy sources, they were still flawed by their limited growth potential!

If it were a true beast emperor tier in existence, the Plow Worm Emperor would have definitely equipped itself with powerful earth abilities, fully utilizing its earth wall, striking through magma with its earth spikes. Even Meteorite Fall would be able to crush Qin Feng to death.

But the Plow Worm Emperor was unaware of its capability!

In consequence, it was just a preyed-on target.

Qin Feng had not even used quadruple walls, only Fire Wall was used, combined with the Apocalypse Bloom, it was already enough to restrain his opponent to a deadlock.

The life-energy stripping ability of the Apocalypse Bloom had drained the massive ultra beast to a poorly deprived state, its cells withered, and it was extremely vulnerable.

Qin Feng's shadow split into hundreds and thousands of duplicated shadows. His presence was everywhere, slitting open the beast skin of the Plow Worm Emperor, while other shadow bodies merged with dark energy forcefully pierced into the body of the Plow Worm Emperor.

The Plow Worm Emperor struggled with all of its energy.

In the eyes of the outsiders, the magma had stretched up to thousands of meters, while the ultra beast that was trapped by the fire dragon magma was constantly finding ways to escape. The overwhelming energy was sufficient to bring on a total annihilation in one single flinch, if they did not stand on top of the Floating City, they would have been killed by the earthquake aftershock.

However, that person still continued with the battle under such deterrent force.

At that moment, every delighted lucky survivor that was turned into aptitude users was silenced, every bit of their joyful moment was stripped away.

They still had a long way to go, not even close to be compared with ability users. At most, they were only equipped with ancient warrior disposition, while their ability to practice internal strength was still in a different context.

In essence, regardless of the expanse of their complicated thoughts, the first that came to mind was their reverence toward Qin Feng's powerful capability.

A person that was acknowledged and revered by many!

Beyond tens of thousands of meters away, the gigantic Plow Worm Emperor had completely fallen into the magma, Qin Feng took a step on it, and it was like every dark ability on his body had penetrated the body of the ultra beast.

It was a wild and ongoing absorption.

The body of the beast emperor was approximately eight hundred meters in length, embedded with the unique energy of the Fettering Land, it had allowed Qin Feng's physical strength to skyrocket continuously.

At the same moment, from the other side, Bai Li's Cubic Clasp gradually routed, releasing every creature from within, all falling simultaneously. All of those were parts from the Plow Worm Emperor that was sliced by Bai Li.

The slicing was thorough enough to completely transform the capability of the Plow Worm into a beast king. With not more than a hundred meter in length, they still looked like massive creatures, but to Qin Feng and Bai Li, those were scapegoats waiting to be slaughtered!

Crack crack crack crack!

The Plow Worm ultra beast was sliced into parts of about a hundred meter each. Even without their heads and tails, they were already dropped into the magma and crackled like cooking ingredients that were dumped into a pot of heated oil for frying.

Several shorter parts of the Plow Worm instantly lost signs of life.

Qin Feng stepped onto the shell of the eight-hundred-meter-long Plow Worm and lifted his hand to wind up a magma wave.

The wave then immediately drowned out the remaining bodies of the Plow Worm.

At that moment, the gigantic formidable beast that was capable of generating unlimited duplicates to pose massive threats had died completely.

Then, a massive amount of energy gushed out from the bottom of the magma.

Qin Feng's black Diamond Starglobe began to spin in wild movements, while its Absorption Ability exploded to its full capacity.

Upon absorbing from the eight-hundred-meter-long Plow Worm Emperor, Qin Feng's energy was replenished again, and he had completed another transformation.

B7-tier!

His physical capability had already achieved B7-tier!

Despite the short-spanned battle, Qin Feng was able to achieve multiple capability breakthroughs.

Furthermore, upon the complete death of the Plow Worm Emperor, the remaining soul energy had instantly replenished Qin Feng's consciousness. However, perhaps it was because of the absence of abilities, the nourishing replenishment had not allowed Qin Feng's consciousness to achieve B5-tier.

However, his Verdant Emperor Saber began humming.

A massive soul was locked onto his Verdant Emperor Saber, while scattered hollow shadows were visible as they were dragged out from the magma. As their numbers accumulated, they had then formed into a soul energy body that was hundreds of meters in size.

The energy body spiralled around Qin Feng while its tail connected to his Verdant Emperor Saber on hand.

It was exactly the spirit of the Plow Worm Emperor!

Qin Feng stood on the outer skin of the Plow Worm Emperor on the magma as beast spirit shadows appeared on his Verdant Emperor Saber on hand. The dark clouds in the sky were connected by dark abilities.

His power was like a dictator of the world, marked deeply into the minds of everyone that had witnessed the battle.

"Revoke!"

Flames reversed, dark clouds dispersed, even beast spirit shadows on the Verdant Emperor Saber were sealed up by Qin Feng's scabbard.

Everything was back to normal, the sky returned to its pale blue colour, the only difference was the remaining dark grey magma ashes left around the area.

Qin Feng turned around and looked at the overlapped space, the sky stairway had collapsed, and the city had been crushed into ruins.

The scene was captured into Qin Feng's memory before his rebirth.

'Before rebirth, perhaps there was already the presence of such horrifying ultra beasts. In Chongluo City, there would not be more than ten thousand survivors!'

Qin Feng was deeply affected and did not continue with his actions.

Similar to Qin Feng's assumptions, when Chongluo City had entered into the overlapped space, countless numbers of rescuers had attempted to save the city. However, they were not equipped with Bai Li's spatial ability and were unable to open up the overlapped space. They were even unaware that it was a Fettering Land inside.

Hence, their hopes were not immediately crushed upon. Research continued for another two months, until the appearance of a gigantic Plow Worm Emperor that completely crushed the entire Chongluo City into ruins. They witnessed the entire scene themselves and finally abandoned the rescue attempt.

Regardless of the number of survivors, they were intimidated by the presence of a beast deity that seemed to be at least beast emperor tier. They were afraid to explore further or to release such a horrifying creature, an ultra beast that might annihilate them in the end.

After Qin Feng's rebirth, history had been changed. Bai Li's activation of the spatial passage had caused the reversed flow of energy from their region into the Fettering Land. It had then attracted the Plow Worm Emperor to descend one month earlier than expected.

Undoubtedly, Qin Feng had saved at least twenty thousand people in total. The number of rescued survivors was absolutely incomparable to the entire Chongluo City that was demolished before his rebirth.

He had tried all he could, and he felt no qualms at all.

The battle had ended. Qin Feng stepped onto the Floating City, there were about fifty to sixty thousand aptitude users looking at Qin Feng.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng looked at them and warned, "Chongluo City has been demolished, the Fengli Organization will take charge of the arrangements for all of you, no refusals accepted!"

Of course, at that moment, nobody would refuse.

Chapter 827: Recruiting Chu Fan

Even Chu Fan did not rebut Qin Feng's command.

Of course, Chu Fan was easily identifiable with his accompanying colourful parrot that was about three meters in size, and Qin Feng was able to locate the extremely intelligent child at one glance.

Chu Fan was also looking at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng signalled with a hand gesture. Chu Fan noticed that and he slinked through the crowd, walking toward Qin Feng's direction.

The Floating City was filled with buildings, but all of the survivors were not allowed to enter . They could only stand at the central square. Only after their return to Fengli City, would they be sent to their new colony, and only those who were allowed to would stay.

Standing among the buildings within the Floating City, Qin Feng looked at Chu Fan who looked like a young adult and asked, "What is your plan now, do you still want to return to the Fettering Land?"

"Why would I go back? The Devourer is already dead, I am now alone, even if I am able to grow, there is no way for me to go against Z!"

Chu Fan was being frank, while Qin Feng also had his own plans.

"Indeed, just you alone would not be enough to resist against Z. However, you have lost the Devourer, which is equivalent to your support, and what we agreed upon is now void. Now that I consider myself as your saviour, why not follow me and work for me?"

Chu Fan closed his eyes, since he was trapped by the corporation under Z, he was already awfully disgusted by the governance of such leaders from the top. However, a wise person would often adapt to the situation, despite his outstanding intelligence, Chu Fan was also completely amazed by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was already so powerful, and from Chu Fan's understanding, Z was most probably even more powerful. Hence, even if the Devourer were to transform into a beast deity, he still might not be able to go against Z by himself!

With that in mind, Chu Fan had a plan for himself.

"General Qin, were you the one who supplied the flesh of the Leviathan to Z? Handover the remaining to me, and I will agree to your offer!" Chu Fan proposed.

Qin Feng was surprised as he looked at Chu Fan. "Are you still planning to cultivate the Devourer?"

The Devourer's appearance and shape were slightly similar to the Leviathan, and one could easily imagine the originating owner of its cells.

"Of course, I need to admit, perhaps I will not be able to cultivate an S-tier beast deity devourer, but isn't it better to cultivate several more A-tiers? At least, I would need to have some backup plans."

"I agree!" Qin Feng agreed, and the deal was now completed.

Although all of those were just verbal agreements, there was nothing else better to constrain the world's aptitude users.

"Later, you will join the Fengli Organization's laboratory, and you will be allowed to monitor Z's laboratory progress and developments at any time. I do hope that you will provide me with a clear direction and proposal!" Qin Feng answered.

Of course, the laboratory was not set up at Fenghuang colony, but at the underground of Fengli City, and the scale was much bigger.

The Fenghuang colony was dedicated to tackle the Fettering Land, and at the same time, it was also a disguise to control Z's movements.

Fengli City's laboratory definitely had the same facilities as the Fenghuang colony's, and even many more that the colony might not have!

Chu Fan nodded in agreement, but still had concerns in mind.

"When I came out, I was seen by many, if people from the Z Organization were to find me, what should I do?" Chu Fan asked.

For all those years that he had been in the Z Organization, he had held quite a significant position. Of course, it was not too high up.

Qin Feng answered, "How many times have you met Z, do you know him well?"

Chu Fan was shocked and puzzled as he looked at Qin Feng, not knowing why he would ask such a question.

"I have only met him thrice, he was constantly performing experiments so I know nothing much about him!"

Hence, Chu Fan did not know how powerful Z was.

"Z is a powerful person, one that is widely recognized within the entire region, but he is a mad scientist, as he is not threatened by anyone. He is fearless, and he is only into research, even if he is aware that some others want him dead, he would still ignore them."

It was why Z had looked for Qin Feng multiple times. Z did not care, or rather his character was different from the others.

When Eye Devil wanted to kill Qin Feng just because he had killed several A-tiers, Z helped Qin Feng to stop him. Z did that even though Qin Feng had annihilated his organization, and had treated him with huge disrespect. It was apparent that Z did as he pleased.

"Hence, even if he knows you are out here, or even if you want to kill him badly, he will not care. Even if he knows that I kept you here, he would still not take action!"

Chu Fan was puzzled, followed by a sense of humiliation and anger. "It is because he despises me!"

Then, would that also mean Qin Feng was being despised?

Qin Feng sneered coldly and answered, "Then, you have to grow stronger, else, the others would not even care about your presence!"

The statement had obviously fuelled Chu Fan's anger even more, but he kept it to himself, and did not express the irrational anger toward Qin Feng.

"Understood, I will put in all my effort!"

As both of them spoke, the Floating City had already arrived in Fengli City. Someone came to coordinate the arrangements and even Chu Fan was led to the laboratory.

The incident at the Fettering Land had come to an end, there was no need to be there for the moment, and Qin Feng had already completely given up on the rescue. mission. Before he left, he had instructed Bai Li to open up the spatial passage to dump in some resource boxes, and had even left some guidance. If there were any survivors who were capable enough to walk out from the forest, they would definitely be able to arrive at the Fengli Organization's unawakened prospects' camp, and they would be able to leave.

From the one-month prolonged duration within the Fettering Land, combined with the final major battle, Qin Feng's physical capabilities had improved and his consciousness was replenished, but it was also definitely taxing on his mental state.

Qin Feng planned to get himself a good rest for several days.

However, as he had returned to Fengli City, he definitely had to take care of some administration tasks. Early the next day, he was already at the governor's office.

Email chains were sorted and reported back to him.

"Battlegod Tomb Plantation Report"

"Fettering Land Exploration Discovery"

"Cinderclast Region High Tier Cinder Pine Location Report"

"Fengli Organization's Previous Quarter Report and Future Development Plan"

"Experiment Laboratory New Research and Bold Assumption"

"Fengli City and Surrounding Construction Details"

Each of those represented resources that were controlled by Qin Feng.

The organization established by Qin Feng had experienced drastic changes.

Qin Feng glanced through the crucial information, took care of some documents, and flipped through some less important items; a document then caught Qin Feng's attention.

"Hero Class Selection Projected Name List, Submitted: Deng Nian!"

Qin Feng looked at the report and unintentionally exclaimed, "And another year has passed!"

It was last year when Deng Nian begged Lu Meng to be the substitute for Chengbei colony to take part in the Prodigy Tournament. This year, Deng Nian had already become one of the scholars in Fengli City's highest academy, and it was he who had prepared the hero class selection projected name list. He was even the one who had organized the trial selection tournament.

Chapter 828: You Still Wish to Participate?

For the past year, Qin Feng's capability had spiked tremendously. From the resource accumulation process, the Fengli Organization had also grown to a state that was admired by many.

As Qin Feng was the governor of the North Sea State, the situation had gradually changed. Along with the liberalization of the Cinderclast Dimension, the newly-established Cinderclast City had also become the fifth city of the North Sea State.

Also because of the buried Glittering Gold Sand within Fengli City, the probability of awakened citizens within the city had spiked, and awakened aptitude users had experienced tremendous spikes in their capabilities.

All sorts of talents had surged in the past year. Those ten people who were listed on the projected name list were none other than insiders from within the Fengli Organization, second generation of Fengli Organization's subordinates, and close relatives.

They were led by Zhou Hao who had achieved D9-tier with his capability, even aptitude users from Dragon Capital would not have such an achievement.

The remaining members were at least at D1-tier. Young and capable talents were found on the list. Even if they were to be compared against the list from North Sea State, or every participant below twenty years old from the entire Northern Region, perhaps they would still remain untouchable.

However, those who had been rescued from Chongluo City got a little lucky. They had consumed high grade ultra beast flesh that sped up their advancement to become powerful aptitude users. Although they were not equipped with appropriate battle skills, it would still be possible for them to strive for unexpected success with their strong and powerful physical capabilities.

Hence, the upcoming Prodigy Tournament was still highly anticipated.

It was at that moment, Qin Feng was alerted by his communicator. He saw the caller's number and was not surprised at all!

It was Shang Han!

"Regent!" Qin Feng connected his communicator. Shang Han was facing him while seated in her office, the projected hologram fully depicted her august prestige.

However, when looking at Qin Feng's background, Shang Han was a little surprised.

She had known Qin Feng for a long time, and it was her first-time seeing Qin Feng being in such a place, an office. Even Qin Feng had begun to work in an office?

She knew Qin Feng as a person who would constantly be all over the place, or staying at home to rest!

Of course, Shang Han did not tease Qin Feng about that, and she directly went ahead and said, "Qin Feng, about your rescue in Chongluo City, due to some reason, I decided to give up, but I did not expect you to carry on with it. Those that you have rescued initially are tied to your bet against Liu Chong, therefore I will not reward you for it as a Huaxia Alliance mission, but this time…frankly speaking, I did not expect that!"

The report was only handed over to Shang Han yesterday, fifty to sixty thousand people had been saved, and an A-tier beast emperor ultra beast was killed. It was indeed a jaw-dropping deed.

Would it not take more than a hundred A-tier aptitude users or an S-tier to take down an A-tier beast emperor?

How much had Qin Feng's capability grown?

Shang Han used to assign missions to Qin Feng without any hesitation. Now that she felt the pressure of Qin Feng's presence, it took a longer time for her to consider, and she had become afraid of casually assigning missions.

Hence, she approached without any mission or assignment, and she just wanted to talk to Qin Feng about Chongluo City.

"I had to finish what I started, to me, those were not too difficult to handle!" Qin Feng gave a casual answer.

"Anyways, representing the Northern Region, I should still award you for your help, but I am still responsible for the cancelled rescue operation at Chongluo City. If those rescued survivors find out about this, perhaps they would blame us for being cruel. Therefore, I personally would like to offer some compensation!"

Shang Han sent across a copy of information to Qin Feng. Within it, there was a fifty trillion reward directly offered to Qin Feng.

It was the same amount of reward that was given to Qin Feng when he had killed The Leviathan. Knowing it was the overlord of the Abyssal Ocean, the newly appeared Plow Worm Emperor would definitely not fetch the same reward value. Hence, it was Shang Han who had secured that for Qin Feng.

Apart from the reward, there were also all sorts of military accomplishments that would suffice for him to exchange with some B-tier equivalent God Armaments.

Then, Shang Han gave out another ten trillion of funding, comprising two trillion of appeasement cost and eight trillion worth of all sorts of materials ranging from G to D-tier. The massive amount would already suffice to establish an adequately capable city.

When allocating the appeasement cost to all two hundred thousand people that Qin Feng had saved, each of them would be compensated with ten million each. However, the amount was not meant to be distributed directly, but to be passed on to Fengli City of North Sea State, or to be contributed to support the Fengli Organization in taking care of all two hundred thousand of them. The appearance of aptitude users in the future would also require support from it!

Hence, it was the most lucrative part of being a duke of a city, or a governor of a state!

However, to any ordinary duke or governor, it would definitely be a huge fortune, but they were definitely unable to obtain such a high amount of reward. After all, five billion was meant to be allocated to Qin Feng for killing the A-tier beast deity!

"Hmm, thank you Regent, for the reward, before I forget, I do have something to tell you!"

"Please!"

"Regent, can you please secure a spot for me to participate in the Prodigy Tournament?!"

Qin Feng considered his own participation as he would definitely be undefeatable, but the pre-selection would already require a month. Even if he were to occupy a slot, nobody in the North Sea State would argue on that; as there were only ten slots available for the entire Northern Region, it would definitely be too unfair for Qin Feng to occupy one slot for himself!

"You, you still want to participate in the Prodigy Tournament?" Shang Han was shocked by Qin Feng's request, why would he still care about the title of a hero class, his position was absolutely above that!

Qin Feng's aim for the hero class title was essentially like a fight among the children, but Qin Feng…

"Ah, I have forgotten, this year, you are still under twenty years old!" Shang Han immediately recalled and realized, but at the same time, it was a rueful moment.

Indeed, Qin Feng was way too young.

"Hmm, but if I am participating, I prefer not to be followed by unmanned drones to broadcast me on videos!" Qin Feng requested.

"Haha, if you are allowed to take part, why would you still go through the Tower of Dragon Gate? You should just go to the top of the tower, I will communicate with the others on this, there shouldn't be any disagreement on this!"

"Hmm, I will need to trouble you on that, Regent!"

"Just a small matter!"

Both of them then moved on with the discussion. Shang Han did not have any mission assignment as Qin Feng would be required to go to the Dragon Capital in November. In other words, he would be on a holiday for the next several months, without any missions for him.

Qin Feng had been extremely busy for the past year, Shang Han also felt that it was too much of a rush for Qin Feng. The main reason was regarding her concern earlier, Qin Feng had become too powerful, surpassing her and her position as a regent. It would be awkward if he were to decline any mission assignment. Even if it was not declined, there was no longer a lucrative mission assignment available for Qin Feng.

Hence, it was a right choice!

However, although there were no mission assignments from Shang Han, Qin Feng did not let himself loose either.

"At this moment, that place, it should have appeared!" Qin Feng pondered as he caressed the Verdant Emperor Saber on hand, while radiance reflected from his eyes!

Chapter 829: The Styx

North African Republic Alliance. This was a massive organization that was formed by several dozens of African clans in North Africa. The region there was rather lacking in resources due to it being mostly desert.

The only source of water they had was just a river; and this river was the reason many people and clans in this region had been warring against one another. There were always hundreds of people dying near the river every single day due to the infighting for water resources.

Due to the high fatal rate around the location, the locals had a name for this river—the Styx.

The Styx was about six thousand kilometers in length and remained as the longest river that existed on the planet.

Many cities of different factions were built congregated along the river. And to be able to build a city along the river, one must be an ability user who was at least B-tier and above.

Thus, unlike how the Huaxia Alliance spread out their cities and colonies, the cities here in North Africa tend to link to one another along the river like a long line. Not only that, each city was not huge in size—they were only as huge as the Chengbei colony.

Nonetheless, it was still a sight to behold when one looked at these cities from the sky.

The nightly sky was slowly brightened by the lazy, morning sun. The cities, upon seeing the first sunlight, started to wake up from its slumber. Several people who were assigned to carry water into the cities picked up their equipment and walked toward the Styx.

Suddenly, the air started to condense around them before everything they saw before them became distorted! In just a matter of seconds, the first few sections of the Styx succumbed to dimensional contortion.

A huge dimensional rift then opened up above the Styx, swallowing half of the river.

To add more, there were also countless smaller dimensional cracks that had opened up about hundreds of kilometers along the river.

The civilians who were there to carry water cried out in fear.

"Cracks! It's the cracks!"

"Demons! It's the demons! The demons are coming!"

"Oh no…! Is this another start of an apocalypse?"

Their surrounding areas distorted and shifted as they were wailing in despair. The hills, roads, and the river seemed to be gripped and hurled into a grinder. Everything they saw had changed into a view of a nightmare.

Meanwhile, the alarm systems in the cities roared out loudly.

Now, there was nothing but chaos in the Styx.

"Quick! We need to stabilize the dimension and space there!"

"Get the space stabilizer to the scene right now!"

"Look! What is that?! Is that blood?!"

"Oh my God!"

The people in the cities widened their eyes as they witnessed what was going on via the drones' cameras.

They saw blood coming out of several, massive dimensional cracks.

A moment later, they saw countless corpses falling out of the dimensional cracks and into the Styx.

A few moments later, the Styx was completely dyed red.

And the dimensional cracks were still spewing out corpses—corpses that were dismembered and crushed to pieces.

Human corpses.

Other humanoid species corpses.

Ultra beasts corpses.

There were corpses everywhere they looked.

A water ability user used his abilities to rock the waters in the Styx to bring up one of the human corpses to the shore.

A brief examination on the corpse revealed that it had a finely crafted rune equipment on it. More importantly, these were spatial rune equipment.

The water ability user quickly brought this corpse out of the water and took off all the equipment from it. His face was filled with joy when he saw the master-craft spatial ring equipment.

This thing must have carried a lot of goodies in its pocket dimension!

Upon seeing this, the others too started to plan to get the most out of this phenomenon. They did not seem to care about whatever disaster that had happened or was about to happen. So long as they could get something out of this and then get away before anything bad happened, they did not care at all.

Some ignorant, superstitious civilians knelt down and prayed feverishly to the sky, hoping that this was not going to be another calamity that would end the world again.

Then, more and more blood and corpses appeared in the Styx.

Things started to take a huge, interesting turn.

"My God! This corpse… he's wearing a God Armor, I think?"

"This ultra beast corpse… it's a beast king's corpse!"

"This creature… I think it's an S-tier!"

More and more insanely powerful ultra beast corpses started to emerge on the river's surface.

More and more human corpses that carried invaluable rune equipment appeared in the water.

Seeing all these, greed started to overcome these people.

Especially when words about the S-tier ultra beast corpses appearing in the Styx got out to the cities and to the world, more and more people started eyeing the Styx.

They did not know if this phenomenon would keep going on. Or it would just stop happening after a day or two.

If this phenomenon was a permanent thing, then the Styx had now become a priceless, treasure-hunting ground.

Therefore, countless people started to make their way to the Styx.

***

Above the source of the Styx river, a black dimensional crack emerged.

In these two days, there were numerous dimensional cracks like this one appearing and disappearing.

Yet, this one was rather huge. It was a rare sight to see a crack emerging and becoming so large. Several ability users raised their heads, staring at the dimensional crack with excitement.

However, it did not take long before they realized that this was not a dimensional crack—it was actually a spatial tunnel.

A huge aircraft that was about hundreds of meters in length flew out of the spatial tunnel.

Many recognized from the ornaments that were decorated on the side of the airship that this was a vessel from the Huaxia Alliance. On the exterior shell of the airship, there were two large Chinese words printed on it—"Feng Li". This was an aircraft belonging to the Fengli Organization!

Standing in command, Qin Feng looked at the Styx with passion burning wildly in his eyes.

"The Styx Battlefield!"

This battlefield was not just a short skirmish that happened for a day or two. In fact, according to what he remembered, this battle lasted for seven whopping years! And Qin Feng did not even know if this would ever end in the distant future too.

Still, the fact remained that the Styx Battlefield was not a place for the faint of heart. Only A-tiers were allowed here. And even these A-tiers needed to be extra vigilant here too because there were rumors of S-tiers' appearance on the battlefield.

Before being reborn, Qin Feng first made his name here.

Now, he would be the one who takes the first bite!

"Let's go!"

Hearing Qin Feng's command, the aircraft flew into the massive dimensional crack in the sky. The people who were staring at Qin Feng's airship were completely stunned when they saw this—they did not think that an airship could enter the crack at all.

Still, upon seeing this, they quickly realized…

"If these blood and corpses came from the other side of the crack… could there be even more goodies on the other side?"

Then, they started to get excited again.

Qin Feng's action had caused a ripple of butterfly effects—ones that could change a great deal of things in the future.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng's aircraft had ventured through the dimensional crack and entered the realm on the other side.

This realm was called "Blood River Realm".

"Bai Li, stabilize the space around us. I'll shift the aircraft into stealth mode!"

"Okay!"

Bai Li replied in agreement.

A few short moments after they had left the dimensional crack, they saw another one-meter-size dimensional crack ahead of them. If they kept on going forward, they would definitely crash into it.

More importantly, the aircraft's tail had not completely gotten through and into this realm yet. There was no means for them to do any maneuver in the sky to evade the crack ahead.

However, as soon as the aircraft sounded the alarm, the dimensional crack ahead seemed to have disappeared.

The aircraft kept on moving onward. Then, a huge, crimson, bloodied land appeared before them. The whole land seemed to have been dyed by the blood of humans and ultra beasts as their corpses lay lifelessly everywhere they looked.

Qin Feng could feel a familiar presence.

He could also feel that these corpses were still brimming with lingering life forces and energy —the first battle on this side of the realm only happened very recently.

Thus, he quickly activated his Absorption Ability.

Chapter 830: The Blood River Realm

This was practically heaven for Qin Feng.

As soon as they got into the Blood River Realm, Qin Feng's body was now continuously fueled with the energies left by the dead in the area.

"Send a hover-ride down there. Remember! If you see any living creature, keep your distance and only engage in long-range combat! Also, please wear your protective gears!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Although these people did not understand why their President asked them to be this vigilant, they still heeded to his order.

And it was quite understandable for Qin Feng to be this careful too. He was one of the first to get the news about the appearance of the S-tier ultra beast corpses. Thus, despite how strong he was, Qin Feng decided to exercise caution.

These people were also the best fighters that he could find too—they were B-tiers Jiang Haolin, Ning Xin, Long Tao and Zhou Ce had defected to him from the Fettering Land. Not only that, Qin Feng had also brought Jin Hao—the future "King of Guns" with him too.

Other than these five B-tiers, Qin Feng also brought a hundred of C-tiers with him. Still, in Qin Feng's opinion, they were as feeble as children in this realm. Despite that, the aircraft still needed deckhands, gunners and scouts. As such, Qin Feng still had to employ their services.

A few minutes later, about thirty hovercrafts flew down from the aircraft. These hovercrafts were all modified and remodeled. Each one of them were equipped with rune equipment.

The people who rode on the hovercrafts were all ability users and gunners. When they got close to the ground, they quickly used their consciousness to order the hovercrafts' rune equipment to grab the corpses of the ultra beasts.

The hovercrafts then flew around wildly, carrying the ultra beasts' corpses to the sky like vultures and throwing them into the pocket dimensions that their rune equipment had formed in the sky.

In a matter of minutes, the hovercrafts had finished their job and completely filled up their pocket dimensions to the brim with the ultra beast corpses.

As for the human corpses, the hovercrafts carried them up too and put them into another specially made device before moving them to the aircraft.

The members of the Fengli Organization were overjoyed as they watched this from the aircraft. This was like picking up free money from the ground. And there was plenty of free money everywhere they looked.

Half an hour later, things turned downhill for Qin Feng and his companions.

Three huge aircraft had flown through the dimensional crack from behind, with fifty combat hover copters tailing behind them.

They outnumbered Fengli's men by a lot.

Still, the Fengli Organization's aircraft and hovercrafts were employing technology that was at least a decade ahead of these people's aircrafts.

In the command, Jin Hao saw the logo on the oncoming aircrafts and said, "Sir, it's the Altaar Corporation! They are one of the largest factions in the North African Republic Alliance. It seems that they have also brought Cleaves, an A-tier with them."

Qin Feng nodded.

Of course, he knew who Cleaves was.

This man was the future S-tier that reigned the Blood River Realm. Right now, Cleaves was still no pushover—he was a capable leader who could lead even other A-tiers in North Africa.

Some men were meant to be leaders or monarchs from birth. No matter what path they took, there would always be people who were willing to bow before them. And there were also many that were born with the contentment of allowing others to lead them.

"Good. Ignore them. Focus on your tasks."

"Yes, Sir!"

Thus, the Fengli Organization kept on going forward and exploring. Wherever they went, the dimensional cracks that appeared around them were completely wiped out. At the same time, some dimensional cracks kept emerging behind them as they moved forward. This meant that even if the Altaar Corporation wanted to give chase, they could never get to the Fengli Organization.

On this side of the dimensional crack, the people on the Altaar Corporation's airships saw that there was a huge river here too—a river that was completely drenched by blood. However, most of the corpses had already been collected by the Fengli Organization's hovercrafts earlier. Even though there were still plenty of corpses showing and floating up from the river, these were not enough to satisfy their greed.

"Sh*t! We're late!"

"Yeah! All the goodies have been completely taken by those people!"

"Just who are those people?!"

"I think I saw Chinese words on their airship just now! They're from the Huaxia Alliance!"

As soon as they heard the name "Huaxia Alliance", a conflicted look spread across their faces.

The Huaxia Alliance was known as one of the largest alliances on the planet.

Still, Cleaves—the boss of the Altaar Corporation, the fabled "Son of the Sun" smirked, "Ah, it's the smell of dark energies. How aggravating."

Qin Feng wanted to avoid the attention of the powerful creatures that resided in the Blood River Realm; so, he had covered his aircraft in dark runes.

Cleaves was a light ability user. As such, he was able to detect Qin Feng's presence the instant they entered the Blood River Realm. Not only that, he could tell that the strongest person on Qin Feng's aircraft was just a B-tier.

As such, he felt that he had the upper hand.

Eyeing on Fengli's aircraft and hovercrafts on the screen, Cleaves licked his lips and said, "It's alright. Let them take as much as they want. This would save us a lot of energy. We'll wait until they collect everything first… and then… hehehe…"

Cleaves's underlings immediately understood what their boss was planning.

It was quite obvious that Cleaves was planning to rob the Fengli Organization. And he had complete confidence that he could rob them clean!

Cleaves's underlings then started to nod in agreement. Some of them even made fun of the Fengli Organization.

"Look. Their aircraft looks so pretty. Just what is that design?"

"Don't worry, Bro. It'll be ours soon enough."

"Hahahaha! You're right! Let them work their asses off like bees first. We'll reap the benefits later!"

These people seemed to think that they already had it in their bags.

However, Cleaves did not intend to let his men laze around doing nothing, "These people have only gotten everything that floated onto the river's surface. There might be more stuff submerged underwater. Send down the water vessels. We still have some work to do."

"Boss, I have a water vessel here!"

"I have one here too!"

It was quite common for people who lived near the Styx to own a few ships, boats and water vessels.

A few moments later, their hover copters got close to the water and tossed down several boats and water vessels. Then, several metal ability users used their abilities to form massive metal nets to salvage anything they could from underneath the river.

They were able to get a good haul out of it.

"Look! It's a beast king! A B-tier beast king!"

"Oh, good loot!"

"There are plenty of human corpses too!"

They quickly brought up the corpses excitedly to take off the human corpses' rune equipment before tossing them into the river again.

Meanwhile, Jin Hao showed a glint of regret. "If I knew this earlier, I would have brought the Leviathan."

After all, if one wanted to conquer anything that was water-related, no one could match the Leviathan.

Qin Feng smirked. "Bring Leviathan? For what? To submerge to your death?"

Jin Hao looked at Qin Feng in confusion.

However, before he was able to understand what his boss meant, Jin Hao heard an excruciating cry from afar.

"Arghhh…!!!!!"

Chapter 831: You Should be the One Who Gets Lost First

Hearing these cries, Jin Hao quickly looked at the screen. Then, everyone was surprised by what they saw.

On the massive boat from afar, the ability users were aguishly hugging their own heads. Their faces were contorted and bleeding in pain. One of them threw up blood and dove straight into the river.

Some people were frantically hitting something on the deck. The corpses that they had salvaged from the river seemed to have turned into frightening creatures. One of these creatures even grew out several ten-centimeter long tentacles from the corpse's appendices before striking at a man nearby. The tentacles then extended and waggled into the man's mouth. A moment later, the man lay on the floor, wriggling his body in agony as a large amount of blood bled out of his body.

Jin Hao stared at the screen in shock.

"What… What's going on?!"

The others widened their eyes when they saw what was happening on the screen.

They recognized these tentacle creatures.

"Those are Ichortoids!"

The Ichortoids were low-tier insectoids. Most of the insect-like ultra beasts were, at most, G-tier. These revolting creatures tend to lurk in areas where large amounts of blood and corpses lay around—especially when these corpses and blood were brimming with highly condensed energy.

Ichortoids were weak against fire. To add more, without blood, these creatures would be dead in a rather short time. Their attacks were weak and pathetic; but they were deadly to awaken humans and G-tier ability users.

Thus, the people from the realm Qin Feng came from did not pay much attention to these insects. The Ichortoids that they knew were at most about thirty centimeters long.

However, the Ichortoids that appeared in front of them… these things were rather different than the Ichortoids that they knew.

"These are mutated Ichortoids. They are almost as powerful as C-tiers! But… but it's really weird. Our scanners did not detect them at all earlier!" Jin Hao's fingers danced feverishly on the keyboard as he scanned whatever that was happening on the Altaar Corporation's airships. He double-checked his monitors and scanners; but it seemed that they were not malfunctioning.

"These Ichortoids tend to use blood as their cover. It's understandable if you did not detect them earlier." Qin Feng explained, "This is why I'm asking you all to never take off your protective gears."

Recalling Qin Feng's orders earlier, Jin Hao finally understood why his President was so cautious in this operation. He felt a chill down his spine after giving it some thought. If they were as careless as the Altaar Corporation, they would have also met with the same gruesome fate too.

These were C-tier mutated Ichortoids! With just a few drops of blood, they could invade their bodies with little to no problem. The protective gears that Qin Feng gave them were covered in dark runes, which would make the Ichortoids think that they were not living creatures.

However, the salvagers from the Altaar Corporation dove into the river and got themselves soaked in blood, resulting in all of them being infected by the Ichortoids.

Witnessing whatever that was going on with his employees and underlings, Cleaves's face turned as grim as a crow. There were about sixty men on that boat and about twenty of them got infected by these Ichortoids.

As the rest of the crew ran to the other side of the deck, the Ichortoids instructed their hosts to move closer to these people in order for them to get the rest of them infected.

Thud!

A massive, one-meter wide Ichortoid showed up from the river, ramming its body against a water vessel's shell. Then, it started to wrangle its tentacles around the vessel, seemingly intending to pull it into the depth of the bloody river.

"These imbeciles!"

Cleaves could not hold it in anymore and finally launched his attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boooom!!

Cleaves unleashed his abilities, hurling several rays of energy beams toward the Ichortoids. In an instant, the Ichortoids were burned to crisp. The ability users who were freshly infected finally stopped screaming as the Ichortoids that were tormenting them inside their body had all died from the energy beams.

"Light Rays! Vaporize!"

In just one move, Cleaves was able to solve the crisis.

However, after witnessing the danger of the Blood River, the rest of the crew quickly got onto their hover copters and flew away, abandoning their boats and water vessels.

They did not want to risk encountering any more of these wretched blood-monsters anymore!

To add more, despite Cleaves being able to solve the crisis, his entourage had indeed suffered some casualties. Five of the divers that were sent to the bottom of the river to salvage treasures had also been dragged down and were never to be seen again. It would not be farfetched to guess that these men were as good as dead too.

Right now, not only did the Fengli Organization grab and was still grabbing all the available free loots lying around, the Altaar Corporation could not even do any salvaging from the river for some earnings.

Seeing how happy the people on the Fengli Organization's airship were in getting all the loot, Cleaves felt as though he was being belittled by these Chinese people.

Thus, Cleaves sent his consciousness to Qin Feng's aircraft.

"Hey, boy! Your aircraft looks nice. And those hovercrafts too! I want all of them. If you know what's good for you, you better get lost. This isn't Huaxia Alliance's turf. You have trespassed your boundaries."

Initially, Cleaves wanted to keep Qin Feng around for a bit longer so they could rob them after they had finished collecting all the loot. Now that he had learned that there were some rather powerful Ichortoids lurking around, Cleaves had a change of plans.

Even though they were all part of the Human Alliance, this did not mean that they got along well. They were only on the same page when it came to handling the Dark Coalition and ultra beasts. However, when they met in the wild or in other realms, they still tend to butt heads with one another.

Upon hearing Cleaves's words, the members on the Fengli Organization's airships were feeling conflicted. Cleaves's presence was quite powerful—the man was an A-tier after all. If he wanted, he could just start attacking them and they would have no way of fighting back.

The new recruits like Ning Xin were especially feeling conflicted on this too. Even though they knew that Qin Feng could defeat an A-tier like Liu Chong, they were still rather worried that Qin Feng might not be able to handle Cleaves—it was well-known that Cleaves was as powerful as an A-tier beast king.

Well, except Jin Hao.

Jin Hao was smirking coldly at this so-called A-tier bandit.

"Sir, perhaps I should fire a shot at him? You know, to show him a little of our hand." Jin Hao was a gunner. A B-tier gunner. Thus, he was quite well-versed in handling every single weaponry that was available on the aircraft. And this aircraft was a rather advanced war machine—the fabled "Fengli Dweller", an aircraft that was remodeled based on the technology of the Floating City. Its fire power was nothing to scoff at.

Qin Feng nodded before sending a word out to Cleaves using his consciousness, "No, I think I won't. This realm isn't North African Republic Alliance's turf too, to be honest. So, why must I be the one who gets lost? If anything, you should be the one who gets lost first!"

Upon hearing what Qin Feng had to say, Cleaves let out a belittling laugh, "Hahahahaha! This is the funniest sh*t I've ever heard in my whole life! You're just a B4-tier chump! And you're telling me to get lost? Just who do you think you are… F*ck!!"

Before Cleaves was able to finish his words, a bright ray of energy darted straight at him from Qin Feng's aircraft. All he could do was react with a blurt of the F word.

The energy beam struck and obliterated his energy shield in just one hit. It was like poking through a thin piece of paper with a knife!

Booom!!!

Then, Cleaves's airship was engulfed in a huge bang of explosion!
