Chapter 981: Rising into S-Tier
This, of course, was impossible.
Qin Feng was unable to consume such a large starglobe, but under the influence of the Absorption Ability and his consciousness, the h.e.l.l Stones that surrounded the Immortal’s core started to move and fly in his direction.
It was just like that ice starglobe.
A large piece of h.e.l.l Stone reached his body before entering the center of his brow and exploding within his conscious realm, merging with his dark starglobe.
The dark starglobe was increasing layer by layer, growing thicker and thicker.
Qin Feng could not control his body, it seemed like there was some kind of orbit around the Immortal’s starglobe. This allowed him to effectively collect all the h.e.l.l Stones that were on it.
This time, he was absolutely unrestrained compared to when he was on the ice starglobe, his consciousness was even stronger.
It could be said that at this point Qin Feng’s consciousness had completely reached S-tier, but again, the Black Dragon Bahamut was stronger than the Snow Lady, the starglobe far larger.
Qin Feng suddenly s.h.i.+fted, s.n.a.t.c.hing away even the broken h.e.l.l Stones on the surface, not planning to let any go.
However, besides the larger h.e.l.l Stones, all of these h.e.l.l Stones were ones which had been split up over the years and acc.u.mulated over time, and they were not inexhaustible.
A bit of time pa.s.sed and Qin Feng had spent one day around the Immortal’s core’s...o...b..t.
On that ma.s.sive core, there were no longer any h.e.l.l Stones left.
Still, he was extremely satisfied.
His dark starglobe went from a centimeter in diameter to one whole meter in diameter!
The volume of a sphere with one meter of diameter was one million times the volume of a sphere with one centimeter of diameter. It was unbelievable.
One could only imagine how many h.e.l.l Stones Qin Feng had plundered
As for the current, it was something even he could not control and it caused him to gradually leave the area. Then, his promotion into an S-tier ability user was finally completed.
There were levels of strength among S-tier ability users, the weakest ones only had an ability core starglobe of about two centimeters in diameter and it was filled with consciousness instead of Sacred Stones.
Qin Feng suddenly obtained a dark core that was one meter in diameter, one could imagine just how strong that was.
This did not mean he was the strongest. Many resource-rich species or descendants of the Immortals would naturally have obtained such resources and become even stronger than Qin Feng.
“Too bad I won’t know when’s the next time h.e.l.l Stones would be appearing on that dark starglobe!” He felt a pang of regret. He did not know when he would be able to come and excavate again, but he had an inkling that the acc.u.mulation of such an amount must have taken tens of thousands of years!
Now, the place that attracted his attention only had energy left. After he had reached S-tier, while the energy from the Immortal was abundant, it no longer gave him that rush in feeling. He estimated that if he stayed here for one year then he would probably reach S1 tier, but that was too slow for him!
Some people think that the ten years it normally took for an S1 tier to reach S2 tier was no time at all. Qin Feng thought that it was far too long.
Perhaps, hunting and slaying ultra beasts was the fastest way to go about it.
With that in mind, Qin Feng had set his mind on a target once more.
The water flowed in a peculiar direction and he orbited the core once again before being moved away. Ten days later, he was finally shunted out of that sea and back onto that high slope.
Wree…
He once again saw the Death Behemoths.
These creatures did not notice him at all and now he was not as worried about them anymore. If they tried to hinder him, he would not hesitate to fight back and try to kill them all.
He had to follow the stream if he wanted to leave, so he did not do anything.
Whoos.h.!.+
Floating along the stream, Qin Feng soon reached the middle of Dragonspine Valley and at the same time, he contacted Bai Li.
“So glad you’re okay, but this time it was pretty dangerous. You’ve reached S-tier and you said we’d go on vacation together!” Bai Li said.
Qin Feng was also happy.
“Yes, I remember there are some portals in the Human Alliance that lead to some peaceful realms with pleasant scenery, we can go and see them!”
“Yeah!”
Just as the two were talking, Qin Feng’s consciousness suddenly sensed the auras of a few creatures.
He realized that they were probably partic.i.p.ating in the monthly expedition to the Dragonspine Valley.
These people were not like how Qin Feng was, being able to absorb the energy in the water with the Absorption Ability without getting corrupted by dark runes. While the stream was a great energy boost for Qin Feng, for the others, it was considered a terrible disaster.
“I told you to not be so greedy for these things, it’ll be dark soon and if the dark tide comes then n.o.body is going back!”
“Oh, since you’ve got time to start babbling, how about you start running!”
“Milord, don’t leave us behind!”
Two SS-tier apt.i.tude users frantically rushed forward, there were eight S-tiers left behind them, not able to catch up to the SS-tiers in terms of speed.
These two SS-tiers were ones that Qin Feng recognized.
It was the pair that he encountered when he obtained the Sovereign Roar. Drakao of the Dragon-borne and Nuah of the Dopplehanded.
It was possible that the two saw the benefit of working together last time they teamed up and decided to team up again. Unexpectedly, they got too greedy and did not have time to get out.
The dark tide was naturally the stream that Qin Feng encountered. Based on the speed of the S-tiers, they were going to get hit by the water.
Qin Feng rode the stream, it was going to reach these people’s backs in a moment’s notice. He did not say a single thing nor did the S-tiers notice anything.
Splas.h.!.+
The dark tide had reached these people’s backs, and while the waters were only ankle deep, they acted as if they had encountered some kind of feral beast.
“Argh!”
An S-tier apt.i.tude user was instantly affected by the dark tide’s water. His ankle could be seen turning black and his whole person looked as if he had been drained of blood. He quickly lost weight and rapidly aged as his skin developed liver spots before turning into a dried up skeleton, collapsing into the water.
An S-tier had died violently, just like that.
The others were absolutely terrified and ran for their lives.
Qin Feng’s consciousness moved and took away the body’s spatial rune equipment.
There were only a few things in that equipment and he only found two h.e.l.l Stones, which were the only useful things to him.
“This is way too poor!”
He tutted.
Such was the situation. These S-tiers originally came here knowing that they were going to fight for their lives, and they knew that there was going to be possible danger. As a result, they would not have brought much, afraid of being robbed by others.
The other seven S-tiers did not manage to survive either, Qin Feng also took away the equipment left behind among their remains.
He followed behind Drakao and Nuah, very quickly leaving Dragonspine Valley.
For a moment, he stood on the peak of the mountain and could see the greyish sunset in the distance as its light rays tinged the clouds with orange. It was about to be night-time.
However, at this moment, the mountain was actually filled with apt.i.tude users!
