“… that’s a B3-tier beast king… and I haven’t even felt the effects of its power?”
Qin Feng was speechless.
His abilities’ foundation was way too strong by now. This had increased the amount of energy he could absorb whenever he used his Absorption Ability.
“Let’s go!”
Qin Feng moved onward.
This time, it went on much smoother because there was no dark sea beast that was blocking his way. Thus, in no time, he finally reached the Divine Mountain.
In an instant, a unique energy flushed into his body from the ground through his feet. Every time he took in a breath, he could feel surges of energy flowing in him.
If the Dragon Capital was a jeweled haven, this place was probably ten times more jeweled than that super metropolis!
The energy that was flushing into his body from beneath the ground was so powerful that it could vehemently evolve any living creature at any moment.
“This energy…” It was quite apparent even Bai Li felt it too.
“What’s the matter? Are you going to be okay?” Qin Feng looked Bai Li with a concerned look.
Bai Li shook her head. “I’m okay. It’s just that… I can feel every living cell in my body becoming very very excited! It’s like they’re evolving! But… the rate of them evolving is rather slow so there isn’t going to be much change for now.”
“Hmm, this energy is really unique indeed. This Divine Mountain isn’t going to be here long. However, the plants and flowers in this area could have absorbed its energy too. This means that the Divine Mountain’s energy could be preserved in these plants. So, right now, the most important thing is to harvest these Heavenly Jewels!”
“This is my specialty. Let’s go!”
After replying confidently, Bai Li brought Qin Feng deep into the Divine Mountain.
Of course, aside from the Heavenly Jewels, there were also other dangerously mutated plants and creatures too. Some of sea beasts had even experienced a massive change and evolution after being exposed to this energy for hours.
Qin Feng even witnessed a youngling of an ultra beast that was freshly born that looked completely different from its mother!
“This energy could evolve and fundamentally change a species. Bai Li has stable and strong genes—a sign that she had already experienced a complete and near perfect evolution. That’s why she isn’t affected much by this energy. But what about the humans? What about me?”
Qin Feng closed his eyes and tried to detect any changes in his body.
Hmm… There was not much of a change either.
Perhaps, this meant that the human race was also a species that had experienced a complete evolution.
“Or perhaps, this is also the reason humans can have so many weaklings but also so many prodigies. Much like how the dragon folks in the unknown region said!”
If the human race were that weak, then why did it have some prodigies appearing amongst its ranks?
“Hubby! Right here!” Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng’s arm and teleported them to a massive tree branch.
This tree was really huge—it looked like a giant coconut tree, one that had a smooth trunk and several large leaves. Of course, it also bore some fruits.
These fruits were giving off some really fine aroma and also emitting powerful energies.
Creak!
A fruit appeared to be now ripe, broken away from the tree branch as it fell to the ground.
Qin Feng pinched his conscious energy and stopped the fruit from landing on the ground at the nick of time before handing it to Bai Li, who then stored it in her dimensional pocket.
“Pweez Pweez Pweez!!”
“Kachak Kachak! Kachak Kachak!”
A series of noises could be heard from below.
Qin Feng lowered his head and saw a few ultra beasts that looked peculiarly weird as they were eyeing at him with their crimson red eyes.
They were about one-meter in length, shaped like fishes. They crawled out of the water with their newly grown claws.
These were fishes that had evolved and just gotten out of the water!
These creatures’ original wet scales appeared to have dried up and turned into hardened, stone-like scales. Their tails had also been lengthened via their evolution.
Then, Qin Feng saw it—there were a few crushed fruits on the ground near these ultra beasts.
It seemed that these creatures were rather upset at Qin Feng for robbing them off of their food source. Some creatures of the larger variety were seemingly quite cross with him.
“Cleak!”
An ultra beast tried to climb onto the tree, intending to fight Qin Feng to reclaim the fruit.
However, after a few attempts, it fell straight to the ground—its body was not fully evolved to climb trees after all.
Yet, after seeing their brethren fall down, the other ultra beasts seemed to get even more agitated. They thudded their tails on the ground and continuously leaped up to seven to eight meters in the sky and hit the tree.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Ultra Beasts kept on hitting the tree, making it sway violently—it seemed that they intended to shake the tree so that the fruits would fall down for them.
Unfortunately for them, Qin Feng was there. There was no way he would allow others to take away what he wanted.
“Harvest them all.” Qin Feng ordered.
Bai Li thus waved her conscious energy and plucked all the fruits away while Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned his fire runes.
“Hellfire Carpet!”
In a sweep, dozens of ultra beasts were engulfed by fire.
Although they had just undergone their evolution, these ultra beasts had already become as strong as a C-tier. If they kept on feeding on these fruits, they might actually become a new powerful species.
Qin Feng knew just how powerful this Divine Mountain was. As such, the tree was going to bear even more fruits.
That was why it was best that he slay these ultra beasts right now and be done with it.
Of course, there could also be other ultra beasts that would come here later for the fruits but Qin Feng was not going to stay here for long. He was going to leave it all to fate.
“There’s more here too, Hubby!”
Bai Li brought Qin Feng to another location via her dimensional abilities again.
“Right here!”
“Oh, this side has even better ones! Let’s go there next!”
“Ah! This fruit is so sweet! Teehee!”
Bai Li kept bringing Qin Feng around happily, like a couple shopping in a mall.
Meanwhile, there was another person that was having a completely different experience than the love birds.
Unlike Qin Feng and Bai Li, Tung Yang did not have the ability to control dimensional runes. All he had were water runes. As such, he had to move around fighting ultra beasts and violent plants attacking him from all sides.
“Roar!”
A twenty-meter high, fifty-meter wide ultra beast was now chasing Tung Yang. This thing looked like a massive seahorse but with a bigger, stronger body and limbs. It looked like a prehistoric dinosaur!
Not only that, this thing was powerful—it was an A-tier beast king!
Although Tung Yang was an A-tier ability user and regent, to take on a beast of this caliber he also needed to be a king type.
Unfortunately for Tung Yang, his powers were just the equivalent of an A-tier beast general.
That was why he had to run.
He sped all the way to the shore and morphed into a stream of water, fleeing into the ocean.
The seahorse looked at the ocean and turned away—it appeared that after evolving, it had developed some contempt for the ocean.
“Goddamnit! It appears that I can’t go here too. Perhaps I should try to land at another location!”
Tung Yang shook his liquid head and moved around the island, attempting to find a better place to land.
Qin Feng might not have guessed that Tung Yang, the man who had left much earlier than him, could not even get onto the island right now.
And as this was all happening, twenty meters away from the Divine Mountain, several deep-sea vessels were moving quietly toward it. Each of them had at least one or two A-tier ability users with them.
It was the members of the other Human Alliances! They had already arrived!
