Internal power was fluidly wrapped around Qin Feng’s fist. He swung an ordinary punch and it collided with the giant skeletal claw.

  The size difference between the two hands was enormous. None of the people living in the colony knew who Qin Feng was. However, the A-tier aptitude badge on Qin Feng’s chest was assuring.

  Yet, nobody was betting on Qin Feng based on appearance alone. How was it possible for Qin Feng’s tiny hand to withstand the mammoth Skeletal Sovereign’s claws?

  Nevertheless, everyone was stunned by the development. Their gaze froze and their mouth stayed open. Some even wondered whether their eyes were deceiving them.

  After the collision, the giant claw was halted in mid-air and did not move for another milliliter.

  Not only that but the claws appeared to be overrun by a more powerful force.

  Boom!

  A moment later, the skeletal claw shattered in an explosion.

  “Impossible!” The Skeletal Sovereign said intriguingly, “How could a tiny human like you nullify my voodoo?”


  The Skeletal Sovereign rejected what he had just witnessed and promptly summoned two other claws. This time, the claws flanked Qin Feng from both sides and intended to squash Qin Feng like he was an annoying mosquito.

  However, once again, the two claws exploded and shattered as soon as they came together.

  The dominance of Qin Feng’s internal strength was on display.

  After assimilating the internal power of He Tianxing, each of Qin Feng’s frozen stars had grown larger. Though he had yet to enter the S1-tier, every bit of increase in his internal strength was a radical improvement from before.

  If Qin Feng fought the Skeletal Sovereign using his consciousness, he would have lost immediately. But when competing using his internal strength, Qin Feng believed that even ten Skeletal Sovereigns would not be his match.

  “Impossible! Again!”


  Boom!

  “Again!”


  Boom!

  “I don’t believe it!”


  The Skeletal Sovereign was at the brink of madness.

  However, its claws were destroyed effortlessly by Qin Feng again and again. In the process, Qin Feng closed in little by little and was standing right in front of it now.

  Qin Feng raised his fist and punched the Sovereign fearlessly.

  The body of the Skeletal Sovereign turned into a shield. It was not particularly huge but looked heavy and tough.

  Bam!

  Qin Feng only managed to leave a crack on the shell. Qin Feng did not give up. This time, it was his turn to attack relentlessly. He threw punch after punch.

  After a few ten punches, the Sovereign could no longer hold on and flew out of the Zimu Mountains with its shield.

  Qin Feng chased on. They both landed on a wildland far from the settlement.

  That was exactly what Qin Feng wanted. He did not expect the Skeletal Sovereign to be this cooperative.

  Crack!

  Qin Feng’s punches finally got through the bone shield.

  Unexpectedly, a dark beam came out from behind the shield and shot Qin Feng.

  The viscous beam first met Qin Feng’s internal force shield and immediately punched a hole in it. The beam then hit Qin Feng’s body and sent him flying backward.

  He stopped after about ten meters and dropped to the ground lifelessly.

  “Hahaha! Not bad, not bad at all! Such a buffed up body would certainly make a prevailing dark knight!”


  The Skeletal Sovereign then raised his hand and another band of dark light shrouded Qin Feng. It was none other than the Dark Puppeteering skill.

  At the same time, Z had just arrived at one of the mountains and was witnessing everything. When he saw that Qin Feng was being beaten down by the Skeletal Sovereign, not only was he not concerned but the smile on his face became broader.

  ‘Not bad. I arrived at the right time. You owe me big time after I save you here. I can use this favor to ask for several returns later.’


  Nonetheless, the black light did not rot Qin Feng’s body. Instead, it was gradually being absorbed.

  The Skeletal Sovereign was shocked. He checked on Qin Feng and realized that the human was still alive.

  “How is this possible?! How could you still be alive after getting hit by my Finger of Death?” The Sovereign bellowed in panic.

  Qin Feng raised his head and looked at the Sovereign coldly.

  His face was still pretty lifeless but after a while, vigor and redness returned to his face.

  “So that’s S-tier ability, the Finger of Death,” Qin Feng lamented as he brought himself up.

  He was indeed caught by surprise. He did not expect that the Skeletal Sovereign was mustering the Finger of Death hiding behind his shell.

  More so, it was so powerful that even Qin Feng’s internal force shield was pierced through.

  Of course, the Finger of Death was really only the width of a finger. All its energy was concentrated at the tip and could easily perforate the internal force shield.

  Possibly, none of the human’s ancient defense art or internal force shield could withstand the Finger of Death.

  Of course, it had its weakness. The Finger of Death was a single-target skill and could only kill one person at a time.

  Unfortunately for the Sovereign, the Finger of Death only meant supplying Qin Feng with more dark runes. It did disrupt Qin Feng’s life force at first, but Qin Feng’s Absorption Ability was powerful enough to digest the runes for his own use.

  Not only that but after he assimilated the skill, Qin Feng had learned the ability too.

  Both the Skeletal Sovereign and Z were baffled by how Qin Feng had endured the attack.

  “Do you still have any ultimates? If you don’t use it now, I will be claiming your body and turning it into an undead puppet!” Qin Feng returned what the Skeletal Sovereign had just said to him.

  The pale face of the Skeletal Sovereign twisted into a grimace. If not because of his bone-white color, the Sovereign’s face was probably flushed now due to immense rage.

  “World of Death!”


  With a bang, a barrier arose around the Skeletal Sovereign.

  The eruption of an S-tier barrier immediately shrouded the valley around them. It created a new dimension and established an isolated territory.

  On top of the Skeletal Sovereign, a full moon appeared. Scriptures were seen carved across the moon. Part of it was black and most was colored in grey.

  The grey-colored ones were also dark runes. It was used to control the skeleton.

  Qin Feng, being trapped inside the barrier, could not have walked out from it by himself.

  “Careful!”


  Concern finally appeared on Z’s face for the first time. He could sense death within the terrible barrier. If he could sense it from this far out, Qin Feng must be engulfed by it by now.

  Z believed Qin Feng’s immense talent as a prodigy had allowed him to challenge an S-tier and battle like one. Regardless, his defensive prowess was probably still only A-tier

  Qin Feng could not have withstood the attack of an S-tier this way. The Finger of Death earlier was the ultimate proof.

  Nevertheless, Qin Feng survived in the end. Z had no idea how Qin Feng lived through that.

  However, when Z was ready to activate his wyvern spirit, Qin Feng who was standing in the middle of the barrier had also unleashed a powerful aura.

  Then, one after another pure frozen star materialized behind Qin Feng.

  Nine frozen stars formed a half circle and expanded gloriously behind Qin Feng.
