Crack!

  A fissure opened up through the light shield in front of Eye Devil.

  Then, the violent flame devoured Eye Devil.

  The snow robe was the first to catch fire. The impact sent Eye Devil flying back to a hill thousands of meters away.

  Utter silence befell the scene, to the point where they could hear their own breathing.

  Their gaze fell upon the man on the far side. Eye Devil’s body was charred. His usual elegance had completely abandoned him.

  Qin Feng spoke through his consciousness, “Eye Devil, what do you think about my three attacks? Are they comparable to the light attack from your Devil’s Eye?”


  Right after Qin Feng had finished talking, Eye Devil’s expression changed, and he could no longer hold it in. He groaned and blood spilled over the edge of his mouth.

  His final attempt to preserve his mighty image had failed.

  Everything happened too abruptly. Eye Devil was at his limit after being hit by three S-tier abilities in quick succession.

  “Qin Feng!” Eye Devil glared at him resentfully.

  Qin Feng did not back down. To him, Eye Devil was no longer a far-fetched target. Now, he was just another loser he could easily trample over.

  “Qin Feng, I will remember what happened today,” Eye Devil said bitterly.

  Qin Feng nodded and replied carefreely, “That’s what I did. You know where to find me whenever you feel like killing me.”


  Eye Devil was even more exasperated. Qin Feng mockingly hinted that what happened to him today was a consequence of his provocation.

  They were now tangled in a feud, much like the conflict between Qin Feng and He Tianxing in the past.

  However, they both tacitly knew that this was not the time to give it all. There would always be opportunities to assassinate the opponent in the future.

  Though unwilling, Eye Devil turned into a burst of light and disappeared disgruntledly.

  Him lingering around would only invite more enemies once they learned that he was injured. That was too much risk to take. Hence, he gave in and retreated from the rift.

  The remaining users were left speechless.

  Only five minutes had passed despite the compact sequence of events. It was truly unexpected to see Eye Devil flee in such bad shape.

  It was unreal. But Qin Feng was not at all surprised by the outcome. He called out to Han Guangming.

  “Mr. Han, let’s get the rift sealed up. I will give you a hand. Whether it will be reopened in the future or not is not something we can control now. After sealing it, we should report it to the Human Alliance and have them safeguard it.”


  Qin Feng’s words drew everyone back into reality.

  “Ok! The best we can do is have a surveillance satellite hovering over this rift 24/7. Unfortunately, this location lies within the Amazon Alliance’s border. We have no jurisdiction to dispatch an armed force here.”


  “That would not be necessary. Even an S-tier would not be able to get through it easily. My only concern is the constant leakage of the starglobe’s energy through the rift.” Qin Feng said.

  Qin Feng meant no offense, but Oplan felt insulted anyway. He announced coldly, “Since there is nothing left for me to do here, I will excuse myself first.”


  Oplan thought that Qin Feng was insinuating that he was the incapable S-tier that could not enter the geo heart. He was clearly upset but dared not chastise the man who had just forced back an SS-tier. Like Eye Devil, he could only exit bitterly.

  “I have something else to attend to too. Goodbye.”


  “I will leave first.”


  The other S-tiers withdrew one after another. In the end, only Han Guangming and Fang Zhou stayed back.

  “Hehe. I am too old for this. This type of labor suits you youngsters more. You two should work more.” Fang Zhou strolled away casually too after saying goodbye. Nonetheless, each step he took, despite seemingly unhurried, took him about a thousand meters away. In just a few flashes, his figure was no longer in sight.

  “Forget it. I have never counted on them from the start.”


  From the beginning, Han Guangming was here solely to shut the rift. In contrast, the others had arrived to see what benefits they could reap from this opportunity. Some even dreamt of hunting down the Void Locust Kaiser and harnessing the valuable materials on the beast.

  In fact, his burden had been lessened considerably since Qin Feng was willing to stay and help. Furthermore, the latter had saved him the trouble of confronting Eye Devil himself!

  Hence, Han Guangming’s attitude toward Qin Feng had changed a lot too. He could not have summoned three different types of S-tier ability. Not only that but he also did not have the confidence in forcing back Eye Devil.

  Han Guangming believed that Qin Feng was destined to be different. There was no harm in befriending him now. Even though Qin Feng did not want to be part of his faction, at least the relationship today could flower into a rewarding collaboration in the future.

  Han Guangming set his focus straight and got to work. The land began to quiver. Beneath the Firework Mountain, the city that was cut in half was moved to a safe distance under his earth ability.

  Then, a giant landslide crashed down from the mountain and covered the exposed lava.

  Qin Feng triggered his ability too. He might be not as skilled and resourceful as Han Guangming in terms of earth abilities, but moving rocks and stones required little finesse. The mountain literally flattened out to cover the giant crack.

  This place has turned into a plain now. Firework Mountain had been wiped out from the map.

  After the finishing touch, Han Guangming returned to the Human Alliance, while Qin Feng decided to take care of the beast wave before leaving.

  The Void Locust Kaiser had come to open a giant rift near Firework Mountain because this place was the closest to the core. After Qin Feng fended off Eye Devil, a lot of S-tiers from the Dark Coalition had actually come to survey the location. They, of course, had the means to avoid the surveillance satellite. But after digging deep, they had failed to detect any energy flow. Even the mantle layer had mysteriously vanished.

  The strata were ever-changing. A lot of people believed that the geo heart was the crystal core left behind by the Immortal. Thus, it was probably conscious and could protect itself. After its access point was exposed, the core perhaps sensed the threat and promptly removed it.

  Qin Feng was relieved when he heard the news. His realm seemed safe, for now.

  ***

  The scary beast wave was frozen in winter weather. A few A-tier beast emperors fled frantically. However, even the rift that led them here had been iced. They had no way to run.

  Abruptly, they were killed by a bursting sword radiance.

  The giant bodies collapsed to the ground. The flesh and blood fused with Qin Feng and propelled his physique to another level.

  A3-tier.

  At this point, Qin Feng possessed S-tier internal force, A6-tier conscious energy, and A3-tier physique. After his mass hunting, the beast wave that wrecked the Amazon Alliance had mostly settled down.

  After he killed the Void Locust Kaiser, this timeline must have branched toward another direction again. Qin Feng knew in this coming year, the number of rifts around Earth would grow exponentially. This was perhaps a warning sign of pre-collapse.

  Now, it was time to eliminate these threats.
