“That’s where you’re wrong I’m afraid. Maybe the previous version of you could still go and get it, but now…” Qin Feng did not finish his sentence but his meaning was clear enough. If he let the Skeletal Fiend go now with his current strength, he would not reach the Hellstone. He would not even be able to step on that landmass!
Besides, he had asked what he wanted to ask. The dark starglobe of the Immortal was not a place that Qin Feng planned to go to, at least not with his current strength.
“Put it away!”
“Okay!”
Bai Li clapped her hands together and the Skeletal Fiend was put away.
“We can check it out next time. I’m afraid that this Immortal’s inheritance is more dangerous than the snow lady one you’ve been in. Not only that, Abyss Dragons are notoriously cruel beings, I doubt it would like anyone leering at its corpse.”
“Hmm, wait until my physical form reaches S-tier then we’ll go! With how dangerous that place is, nobody would get it!” Qin Feng said.
Moreover, among the races within the countless realms, the human race had the strongest learning capabilities and the strongest comprehension capability. That was why they liked to explore ruins of various powerful creatures. In that case, Qin Feng’s competitors were humans.
In that case, he was even less worried.
He had fought on endlessly for three months, when he returned to Fengli he finally considered relaxing. He had to handle a lot of accumulated work, attend many events he had to show up at, and carried out a series of announcements. He hoped that Fengli would grow more, and take in more talented B-tier aptitude users.
Of course, Qin Feng was also waiting for a new piece of news.
***
Great Rift Age, Year 220 June 3rd. A huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky and almost tore apart Earth’s atmosphere.
Qin Feng was doing an inspection on the surrounding colonies near Fengli City, but he sensed this almost instantly.
Bai Li looked toward the West at the same time.
The spatial fluctuations were shocking, as if something ominous and terrifying was about to happen.
Qin Feng’s pupils abruptly shrank.
The spatial rifts.
It was here!
Bai Li’s fox eyes were also widened, “Spatial beast!”
“What?” Qin Feng looked at her with surprise.
Although he knew this was going to happen, back in his previous life in Year 220 he was just a D-tier aptitude user. He was sent to deal with a series of beast waves that the spatial rifts caused. As he was dealing with things around a small colony, whatever caused such an event was something unknown to him.
Now, Bai Li said that it was a spatial beast!
“Is it the same species as you?” Qin Feng asked.
“No, spatial beast is just a general term, like how you people say feline ultra beasts. There’s a difference between a tiger and a cat!” Bai Li said, “It hasn’t appeared yet, so I don’t know how strong it is!”
“Let’s go and see!” Qin Feng said.
“Alright!” Bai Li agreed in an instant.
After reaching S-tier, Bai Li’s consciousness had extended in range and had become stronger than Qin Feng’s. She was truly an S-tier beast deity. Previously, Eye Devil could attack Qin Feng from anywhere, so Bai Li’s consciousness could naturally generate spatial waymarks in a distance.
Then, a spatial passage appeared. Bai Li and Qin Feng stepped through.
In the next moment, they appeared at the border of the Huaxia Alliance.
Looking up, that huge rift looked as if it had torn the sky open. Compared to what they could see at Fengli, this one was a breathtakingly terrifying sight.
There was a small colony not far away and there were panicked screams and blaring sirens. Even Qin Feng’s communicator was buzzing because of the public network sending out urgent mission calls.
However, with Qin Feng’s current position, such tasks could naturally be directly rejected.
Beep beep!
Qin Feng’s communicator rang and this time it was not from a public channel.
It was from Long Ting.
He quickly accepted the call and when the virtual screen popped up, Long Ting’s face appeared on the upper right corner, and appearing on other spots were the faces of S-tier aptitude users.
Long Ting had started up a group call.
“Everyone, you should all be aware of the current situation. With the emergence of the massive rift this time, based on the records, this is comparable to the catastrophe that happened 200 years ago. I’m not sure what will happen next but be ready for anything!”
The catastrophe two hundred years ago was the beginning of the Great Rift Age. It reduced Earth’s human population to less than 1%.
Of course, during that time humanity had no way of fighting back. It was different this time.
“Now, all of you head for Huaxia’s border. Those who can approach, accept the task and prepare for battle at any moment!”
After saying that Qin Feng’s communicator showed a display of the border zone of Huaxia’s territory.
Long Ting marked more than a dozen locations in one go. The closest one to Qin Feng was more than thirty kilometers away. The main reason for that was because there was a large city there that needed manpower to defend and even organize an evacuation.
Qin Feng pressed accept.
On the communicator, everyone began to talk.
“I’ll be over right away!”
“I’ll be handling things here!”
“This crisis really is unprecedented. I’ll call a few friends over, first we must defend Huaxia!”
“The rift seems to be over at the Amazon Alliance, their only S-tier seems to be Eye Devil!”
“Eye Devil might not guard the Amazon Alliance and decide to give up immediately. Those in the Amazon Alliance would be doomed!”
However, these S-tiers could not care too much. They had Huaxia’s own people to defend.
The S-tiers of Huaxia all began to move out. There was one that accepted the same task as Qin Feng, it was an S-tier aptitude user known as Fang Zhou.
Qin Feng had never heard of Fang Zhou before, so he did not know who this person was and did not meet up with them. Bai Li moved forward and arrived at the large city on the border of Huaxia, Qingfong City.
Qingfong City was situated on top of a majestic mountain. This made it easy to defend and difficult to besiege, making it a good place for a city. The surrounding small colonies were built on the nearby hills that complimented each other in times of crisis which they often faced deep within the mountains. Even though there was constant clean up, the surrounding beasts were generally powerful.
As such, Wu Qingfong, the city duke and a B-tier aptitude user, had many C-tier aptitude users under him. In such a situation, he was still calm for the time being.
When Qin Feng arrived, he directly burst through the spatial stabilization device with a spatial rift and frightened the rest. However, the city duke was quick to arrive to greet him, and when he saw Qin Feng’s badge he immediately recognized him.
“Marshal Qin, thank you for coming to help!”
“You’re welcome, it was Lady Long Ting’s idea!” Qin Feng said.
“I’ll be blunt with you, Marshal Qin. Wait here for the moment. When the rift suddenly appeared the energy here fluctuated greatly. The ultra beasts are stirring and I need to gather my defenses.”
Wu Qingfong’s calm nature did not mean that he was not in a hurry.
