Z looked at Qin Feng like how a predator looked at prey, flashing a sinister grin from the corner of his mouth.
That malicious madness of his was completely exposed.
Qin Feng could feel the hairs on the back of his neck rise, as for Bai Li, if she were in her ultra beast form, her hackles would be raised and fur completely puffed up!
“Can I decline this?” Qin Feng asked.
Z seemed a little surprised by Qin Feng’s answer and chuckled, “Why would you say no? This is a great experiment, Qin Feng, perhaps you may become the strongest in the future! An Immortal!”
“My path to becoming an Immortal is step by step, not through the use of some sketchy shortcuts!”
Z frowned and shook his head. “You injected an awakening potion into yourself, doesn’t that count as a shortcut? You know, since the beginning of the Great Rift Age, ability users were awakened naturally and ancient warriors needed to train from the moment they were toddlers. Change is inevitable, I just don’t understand why you people are so repulsed by it!”
Qin Feng’s thoughts seethed. The man’s potions warped human beings into inhuman creatures, not man nor beast and there was a high mortality rate. What kind of person would not reject it?
Only a mad scientist like him, a man who held no regard for human life, nor anyone else for that matter, would accept it!
Seeing that Qin Feng was not responding and had taken up a defensive stance, Z suddenly let out a cackle.
“Perhaps, once you’ve seen my strength you would see the right way to go about things. For those that don’t believe me, I always found this method most effective!”
Qin Feng gritted his teeth, he assumed that Z’s method was some kind of show of power or physical torture.
At this moment, a strange aura finally began to billow out from Z’s body.
Qin Feng had not detected anything strange about Z’s aura before and he seemed like an ordinary human being. However, he did not underestimate the man’s power and thought that if he could not detect this man’s strength then it meant he was facing something unfathomable and dangerous.
Now, this strange aura had finally revealed itself.
Above Z’s head, a phantasmal figure appeared. It seemed as if it was made out of pure energy!
It was not consciousness nor internal force. It felt more like it was a combination of the two, melding into a different kind of energy.
Z began to speak. “Internal force has three stages!”
“Internal force can be like gas, gas into silk, then becoming mist, then a cloud!”
“Internal force can be like water, then into a cluster, a pond, a lake, then a sea!”
“Internal force can solidify, condensing into stone, condensing into a mountain, into continents!”
His voice flowed as if he was reciting poetry.
Qin Feng knew that he was talking about the internal force ancient warriors used, but he had never heard about stages that were above S-tier before.
How could energy become like stone? Did the internal force crystalize? How did it then become like a mountain, or a continent?
“The dantian is like a fist, like a mill, like a house, like a pit, like a pond, like a lake, like a sea, like an abyss, like the sky, like the galaxy!”
“Abilities are stronger than ancient martial arts, incomparable. In its final form, once someone has been awakened, their consciousness becomes like a universe and their core becomes like a planet. That is already the limit for ancient warriors!”
“Ultra beasts are huge, as tall as mountains, as big as islands. How can mankind, as feeble as they are, stand against such behemoths?”
As he kept speaking, the aura coming off from him got stronger and stronger.
Qin Feng was forced to retreat, not even Bai Li dared to stay back and resist this aura.
“Don’t tell me this lunatic actually merged with a beast god’s crystal core! That’s something that can only exist in the A-tier!” Qin Feng said as he kept backing away.
By now, the phantasm above Z’s head gradually began to appear to be solidifying.
Finally, once the phantasm had completely manifested, Qin Feng felt as if he was staring down an S-tier ultra beast.
It had the antlers of a deer, the ears of an ox, the claws of an eagle, the body of a serpent and the scales of a fish!
These were the characteristics of a true Eastern Dragon.
This Dragon was entirely black, and the snowy environment around them seemed to cause the creature’s scales to bounce off the light reflected by the ice. The dim glow it gave off made it look like it was made out of obsidian.
The most important thing though, was how big it was.
Qin Feng’s vision was completely enveloped by this Dragon’s winding body. It was as if the clouds above had warped themselves to accommodate its shape, its body curled through the air, twisting and blotting out the sky.
That was the most terrifying part about it!
It was as Z said, like a sea, like a mountain.
Something that could eclipse the Sun!
Qin Feng finally understood what Z meant by how mankind could take on ultra beasts.
“I’ve dubbed this kind of mutation as the Spirit Awakening! In the future, this will replace ancient martial artists and ability users. The strongest class of them all, the Spirit Champion!”
“Now! Qin Feng, would you like to undergo the experiment? I’m sure that you will be stronger than me!
As Z spoke, the Dragon above their heads turned its massive head down to look at Qin Feng with a frightening gaze, as if ready to annihilate Qin Feng if he did not say anything.
He thought about Han Nuan and the others, and the people who had been poisoned in Shadong Town. Han Huan awakened with a new ability and that was the white pigeon!
In fact, she had greatly improved in the passing year, her abilities had gotten far stronger and she could even manipulate both Light and Wind abilities.
Now, the thing that Z dubbed as the Spirit Champion was even more terrifying and it looked like it had already reached its final form.
With such a terrifying black Dragon, Qin Feng was certain that it was not just for show.
But could Qin Feng say ‘Yes’?
No way, he could not even say the word ‘No’!
“Run!”
He exclaimed, and what he said clearly represented the current situation.
Bai Li suddenly appeared beside Qin Feng and they were shrouded in never before seen silver light.
Bai Li activated her spatial ability!
Whoosh!
The two instantly disappeared and reappeared a thousand kilometers away.
What happened next gave Qin Feng a fright!
He could no longer see Z, but he could still see the Dragon in the sky. It was still staring at him as if he had never moved to begin with.
His heart skipped a beat!
“How’s that possible?”
Just how vast was the scope of this massive dragon?
The thing was like the Moon itself, always there no matter where you go. Other than the passage of time, no matter how or where you moved, it was impossible to change the Moon’s location.
The strange situation just turned even more dangerous.
“Bai Li! Quick!”
She did not wait for him to say anymore and had already unleashed the limits of her spatial ability, Constant Flash.
Swish swish swish swish!
In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared about ten thousand meters away.
Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief when he looked behind them, the Black Dragon was nowhere to be seen. Only the endless sky was behind them.
But all of a sudden the Black Dragon loomed into view. Its body spiraled as it flew through the air as it moved in pursuit of them.
An eagle claw began to descend from the sky.
It came down with the force of a collapsing mountain, a terrifying sight.
Whoosh! Bai Li activated her spatial ability again and frantically tried to escape!
