  The energy from the beasts’ flesh was formidable.

  Darkness slowly dispersed into thin air. The crystal cores of the centipedes were all guzzled up by Qin Feng as well.

  This was the fastest way for him to toughen his physique.

  Qin Feng had merged his Absorption Ability with the Sovereign Roar. The fleshes of beasts engulfed by the dark runes would be immediately absorbed and refined, then infused directly into Qin Feng’s body.

  The Insectoid army surely did not expect this. Although the one thousand centipedes were just like one drop in the ocean relative to the entire sheath, that amount was more than enough to take down the incoming aircraft. Unbelievably, the centipedes were wiped clean in one fell swoop by a single human.

  Chirr!

  Another batch of Bloodlust Centipedes approached fast.

  This time, they came with a more menacing aura. More than half of this group were S-tier Insectoids. Qin Feng could even sense S-tier beast emperors among them.

  Leafsoul perspired anxiously watching the incoming assault. He had the confidence if they needed only to hold back A-tier insectoids. But facing a group of S-tier insectoids, even he as an SS2-tier had to tread carefully. Unlike battling A-tiers, he did not hold an absolute advantage against so many S-tiers at once.

  ‘Reckless!’ Soul-Leaf almost spurted expletives. He held it back because he did not have the right to fault Qin Feng. As a guardian of Omnesflores, it would be inappropriate to blame someone that had just killed so many Insectoids. Qin Feng should be regarded as a hero for his action, though he had invited a direr consequence.

  Nevertheless, the other aptitude users were not in the same position as Leafsoul. They had no dilemmas and showed no reservation in chastising Qin Feng.

  “What’s the point of showing off, moron!”


  “We should stall the A-tiers instead while waiting for reinforcements. Now, who’s going to stop the S-tier insectoids?”


  “He is the one asking for trouble. He should be the one bearing the consequence, of course!”


  The S-tier aptitude users rebuked exasperatingly.

  People always feared greater force. S-tiers were no different. Despite their status, they reacted just like any human being would when it came to superior strength.

  They would start pointing fingers at others for their inadequacy out of rage and fear.

  Qin Feng only found their response laughable.

  “Stay there and watch. I would be annoyed if you guys intervened!” Qin Feng sneered and placed his focus back on the incoming enemies.

  He had just used the Sovereign Roar a moment ago. He could not create elemental runes out of thin air. After they were unleashed, it would take some time for them to be recycled. As such, Sovereign Roar was not a viable option for now.

  However, Qin Feng had successfully condensed a core comparable to that of an SS-tier ability user. There was no reason why he could not construct a new ability spontaneously on the spot.

  ‘This is the perfect time for me to test my new domain!’


  It was a novel skill invented by Qin Feng. His inspiration came after mastering Phantom Shift, then Shadow Splits. This was the time to put the skill to a real test.

  In response to this thought, a dark pool spread out under Qin Feng’s feet.

  The liquid was as thick and as dark as ink. It was calm and continued to expand up to a few ten thousand meters wide.

  The aura of dark runes was growing more intense every second. Those who chastised Qin Feng earlier now kept their lips shut tight.

  Qin Feng was a unique S-tier ability user beyond their comprehension.

  The skill looked exactly like a domain. But none of them had ever witnessed a domain that could cover such a huge area.

  What Qin Feng had displayed was not something that an SS-tier could have done easily, let alone an S-tier.

  The dark water reached the incoming centipede rapidly. It did not stop there and continued to flood their legs.

  The Bloodlust Centipedes attempted to avoid the water by moving upward. But that was not going to stop Qin Feng.

  Up!

  In the next moment, numerous human-like silhouettes rose unnaturally from the pool.

  They were not Shadow Splits because Qin Feng did not imbue his soul into them. It was also impossible for Qin Feng to control ten thousand servants simultaneously.

  Instead, they were lifeless puppets maneuvered by the simplest consciousness control. They were created with only one purpose—to kill!

  It was like the afterimages Qin Feng created when he triggered Phantom Shift. If the afterimages were in vapor form used only for diversion, then the silhouettes he created this time were the more concentrated, deadlier liquefied form.

  Kill!

  Under Qin Feng’s command, the silhouettes lunged toward the Bloodlust Centipedes ferociously.

  The domain of Death, Phantoms Parade.

  SS-tier domain accomplished.

  Qin Feng stood at the center of the domain. The initially calm dark water began to ripple violently. Small ripples then quickly intensified into raging waves.

  The silhouettes among the waves grew larger as the waves grew stronger. From its original human size, the silhouettes magnified to twenty-meter-high in the end.

  Bam! Bam! Bam!

  The silhouettes battled the centipedes fiercely. Although being dwarfed by the gigantic centipedes, Qin Feng’s killer troop did not fall into a disadvantage. Their superior battle prowess made up for the size difference.

  Even though it was not a one-sided slaughter, the battle still concluded rather swiftly in favor of Qin Feng.

  The insectoids had lost twice in a row. The broodmother was infuriated and called out piercingly. The fungal that was closing in on the Omnesflores turned up and targeted Qin Feng instead.

  “Retreat!”


  “Evade the sheath!”


  “The sheath is super corrosive. Get away from it!”


  “Mister, get back now!!” Some of the aptitude users were humbled by Qin Feng’s otherworldly power and acknowledged him. They warned him out of concern.

  The fungal sheath was the Broodmother’s domain. It could continuously heal Insectoids but to humans, it was highly corrosive. A nutrient to one was poison to another. Qin Feng’s new domain, though equally deadly, might be unable to withstand such an overwhelming force.

  After all, the opponent was an SS-tier beast deity.

  Qin Feng might be unreasonably strong in human perspective, but it was not going to be enough against the even more ruthless broodmother.

  Indeed, Qin Feng could not defeat the broodmother on his own right now. However, that did not mean he had to run away with his tail in between his legs.

  Inside his conscious realm, his ice starglobe spun rapidly.

  “Frozen Age!”


  The retrograded fungal sheath trying to swallow Qin Feng was suddenly frozen by an unannounced blizzard.

  The fungal sheath could indeed stretch to a far area. But Insectoids at its furthest edge were usually only B or C-tiers, making the periphery much less dangerous than its center zone. As soon as the S-tier Frozen Age arrived, its outermost rim around Qin Feng was immediately frozen.

  Crack! Crack!

  A large piece of sheath detached from the main body. It became lifeless and the cold had frozen the Insectoids on it to death.

  The broodmother was deeply frustrated.

  Initially, the broodmother hid well within the sheath covered by countless intercalated Insectoids. But right now, rage had gotten the better of the beast. It sensed that Qin Feng was just an S-tier human, a petty being it had easily destroyed and swallowed numerous times in the past.

  As such, it was determined to kill this one too.

  The broodmother thus came out from hiding by removing its Shapeshifting skill. Its hideous body grew scarily large.

  This was the first time Qin Feng had come face to face with such a ruthless creature. The behemoth was about thirty thousand meters long!

  It might be minute among the stars, but that was not something an even tinier human could deal with!
