Master of the End Times

Chapter 958: Return to the Surface

Bai Li reached out to Qin Feng who was bathed by the flowing amber fluid. Worry was written all over her eyes.

Qin Feng waved his hand and handed the body of the Void Locust Kaiser to her instead. He could not store the spatial stone in his own spatial equipment.

Bai Li kept the giant stone into her dimension and once again extended her hand to him. She wanted to pull Qin Feng away from the dangerous-looking liquid as soon as possible.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the fire core. He was having mixed feelings.

The core made him feel at home. He now finally knew how warm and assuring a mother’s touch was. Qin Feng swore that he would protect the core with all his might, no matter the cost.

He took a final look, then grabbed Bai Li’s hand. The contact immediately drew him back into Bai Li’s dimension.

Covered by the silver spatial runes, the amber flame was immediately extinguished. Bai Li stared at him amusingly and poked his bare chest.

Now only did Qin Feng realize that his battle suit, as well as the Divine Flame Imperial Robe, had been melted away by the flame.

Though he lamented the loss of an S-tier armor, the Imperial Robe was not that useful since it could not fend off the core’s energy anyway.

Besides, he did gain something in this journey. Though he did not consciously absorb the runes from the core, some of them were imbued into his body.

Through that, he had mastered a new fire-type ability.

His consciousness immediately recognized the ability as Flare of Death.

It sounded ordinary but Qin Feng believed its force had to be comparable to that of the Finger of Death or Cold Whisper of Death since the three skills were named similarly.

This alone was worth the trip.

“Let’s return,” Qin Feng said. Bai Li held his hand and disappeared in a flash.

They move speedily and cautiously. Bai Li did not want to expose them to danger on their way up.

A day had passed by the time they returned to the original location. Other than the S-tiers led by West Lord, there were a dozen more ability users there. Fang Zhou, who Qin Feng had collaborated with, was there too.

There was also an S-tier who was in charge of the West Region.

Finally, Qin Feng saw him. A familiar face, but he was a foe, not a friend.

He was no doubt a handsome-looking man in his twenties. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. His stare could almost poke a burning hole through a person.

The snow robe on him was decorated by a pattern in gold. It glowed in a way that only an S-tier armor would have.

Eye Devil.

Eye Devil did not show himself when the fierce battle first broke out in the Amazon Alliance. Even though he was the strongest elect of this region, he did not care one bit about this place because he was a member of the Dark Coalition.

But the profuse core energy that leaked out from the rift opened by the S-tier Void Locust Kaiser had successfully intrigued him. He came eventually and trained amidst the thick energy.

The elects here had all come for the same reason.

Qin Feng and Bai Li’s reappearance had caught their attention.

“Qin Feng!” The guardian of the West had met Qin Feng before and he greeted him.

“Pleased to meet you, Mr. Han Guangming!” Qin Feng nodded and led Bai Li over.

Though they had little interaction before, Qin Feng knew him through the database stored in the Human Alliance town. In fact, he now owned the details of all S-tiers, especially those from Huaxia.

This was not the time for formality. Han Guangming asked anxiously, “Qin Feng, did you manage to catch the Void Locust Kaiser? How’s the geo heart?”

The location of the Immortal’s energy core was known as the geo heart even before the end of times. Its name had been retained till this day.

Qin Feng had made up the explanation on their way back. He said immediately, “The energy in there is formidable. We can’t get anywhere near it. After chasing it for a while, the Void Locust Kaiser wanted to turn back. We cornered it and forced it deeper down the lava. In the end, it was killed by the scorching heat. I guess we kind of accomplished the mission.”

Qin Feng did not reveal that he had seen the core. If it was this easy to reach, the elites from the Dark Coalition would definitely be eyeing it.

“Great job!” Han Guangming commended. Fang Zhou nodded delightfully too.

West Lord, in contrast, was not as pleased. In the end, Qin Feng had once again gotten the benefits.

“How about the beast’s carcass? You might have let it escape and you are lying to us.” Oplan said grimly.

Oplan was thrown out when he tried to follow the Void Locust Kaiser and Qin Feng into the lava crevice. He was clearly discontent that an A-tier was having better luck than him.

Qin Feng glared at Oplan emotionlessly. He was not at all offended. Besides, Oplan’s outlook was rather comical right now after being ejected from the rift.

Bai Li rebutted, “You want to see the carcass? I can show you. But please don’t tell me you want a piece of it. You have no right since you can’t even touch the Locust’s shell!”

Oplan gritted his teeth and said, “I am not that shameless. Our contribution will be rewarded by the alliance. I just want to see the body for confirmation.”

“Do you guys concur?” Qin Feng looked at West Lord and Vienna.

Since Oplan had already said so, and they were both wary of Bai Li, they did not dare to object.

Instinctively, they were intimidated by Bai Li. They knew she was a very different creature and yet, she was unusually obedient to Qin Feng. That was enough to deter them.

“That’s right, we just want to see it to be sure.”

“If you are lying, then we will be in grave danger without knowing it.”

Qin Feng nodded at Bai Li after he had their word. Bai Li thus opened her dimension and took out the Locust’s carcass.

The body had been largely melted by the core. It looked like a melting silver ornament. No one doubted Qin Feng’s claim now after seeing the large spatial stone.

The outcome was a huge blow to West Lord and others. They were disappointed that Qin Feng had indeed captured the Void Locust Kaiser.

“Alright, this is not the time to dwell on this. You can put that away,” Han Guangming said to Bai Li. He knew this belonged to Bai Li and Qin Feng. Even though he could not get it, he would not allow others to bully his comrade from Huaxia.

Bai Li did as she was told. Qin Feng looked at the giant rift thoughtfully. It seemed the strata could not stop the core’s energy from leaking out. It would be devastating if the rift was left unsealed.

“We should evacuate the people around here. I will have people seal this rift up,” Han Guangming said. This was his purpose from the beginning. He was an earth ability user.

Apparently, not everyone agreed with his decision.

“Don’t worry about the things that are happening inside the Amazon Alliance.” Eye Devil opened his eyes. The gleam from his eyes immediately lit up the world around them.
