Qin Feng did not wish to face the horrible beast alone.
“Marshal Leafsoul, it’s your turn now! Do you plan to let me get all the credit?” Qin Feng bellowed.
Leafsoul almost grated his enamel off for gritting too hard. He had no choice but to take on the toughest assignment.
“Prepare for the clash!” Leafsoul shouted.
“Marshall, leave the rest of the minions to me. I will not let any minion disturb your battle against the broodmother.”
“I owe you my thanks then!” Leafsoul’s consciousness delivered his true feelings.
Qin Feng did not dwell on whether he was being grateful or sarcastic. He continued to exert his consciousness and shattered the sheath from the perimeter, along with the numerous beasts on it.
The S-tiers within his Domain of Death resisted rampantly.
Qin Feng pressed on and absorbed their life forces with his dark ability. As a result, his physical strength grew exponentially.
Boom!
Qin Feng’s physique was once again upgraded.
A6-tier.
This was a gluttonous feast specifically prepared for Qin Feng.
Right now, the broodmother was being held up by Leafsoul. Meanwhile, the fungal sheath carrying the Insectoids stormed at the human army.
Qin Feng unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber. The profound god weapon emanated a terrifying aura by itself.
Slash!
Millions of spirits gushed out from the saber and lacerated a deep fissure across the fungal sheath. The powerful energy blasted the fungal sheath away, forcing the sheath to coil back sideways. This cleared up the area around Leafsoul and the broodmother.
Qin Feng fulfilled his promise. None of the Insectoids could approach the main battlefield.
On the other hand, Qin Feng massacred the swarm insanely. Thousand Spirit Chain Rend, Frozen Age, and other S-tier skills were being unleashed unreservedly.
He alone was more dominant than the entire army.
While the others were astounded by his heroics, he was reaping a massive benefit.
His physique could not stop evolving, and it broke through one level after another.
A7-tier!
A8-tier!
A9-tier!
Qin Feng had lost count of how many Insectoids he had killed. All of the killed beasts’ flesh and crystal cores were absorbed cleanly by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng’s life span was being lengthened continuously. It must have extended beyond what others could ever imagine.
After the endless massacre, though the Insectoid swarm was not completely exterminated, only lesser beasts remained.
Qin Feng had slaughtered at least more than a thousand S-tiers and a few million A-tiers. He had annihilated the most elite force brought by the broodmother.
Otherwise, how could he upgrade so quickly?
Now, there were only about ten thousand B-tiers and a million C-tier insectoids left. Despite the massive amount, they would not be enough to threaten the A-tiers aptitude users.
Qin Feng did not lay eyes on the lower beings. He needed a lot more energy to attain S-tier. Even killing all the remaining iInsectoids would not be sufficient to achieve that.
There was only one option left.
The broodmother.
Qin Feng had only battled for three hours. However, Leafsoul was already at his limit.
Within that three hours, reinforcements had arrived twice. Leafsoul was no longer the only SS-tier aptitude user at the scene. Without the help from another seven SS-tiers, Leafsoul would have been long gone.
Numerous vines wilted in the space. The broodmother ran amok and crushed many of the human airships, as well as those S-tiers who were unable to avoid in time.
Till now, the human side had suffered heavy casualties as well. Qin Feng counted and realized at least three hundred aptitude users had fallen, including more than fifty S-tiers.
“I should give them a hand!” Qin Feng murmured.
Qin Feng and Bai Li were only S-tiers now. He had indeed challenged A-tiers while he was a B-tier in the past. But at that time, he was backed by Bai Li, who was an A-tier then. This time, it was a much tougher opponent in entirely different circumstances.
“Finger of Death!”
He did not have absolute confidence but still released the S-tier skill with little hesitation. The dark runes hit one of the broodmother’s outer shells, which immediately turned black and lifeless. But the spreading stopped at only one segment.
There were at least ten thousand segments along the Broodmother’s body. Unless Qin Feng could release ten thousand death beams at once, otherwise he would have no chance of killing the ruthless beast.
But Qin Feng did not give up. Although he could not do it at once, he was going to repeat it ten thousand times until the monster had been killed.
Besides, Finger of Death was not the only trick up his sleeve.
“Go!”
He released Cold Whisper of Death and Flare of Death successively. By the time he completed the third attack, runes from the first attack had largely been recycled. He could use Finger of Death once again.
One or two attacks might be insignificant. But after the tenth beam of death hit the broodmother, the cumulative damage finally caught the broodmother’s attention.
It examined its body and realized some of the segments were inflicted by alternating fire runes, ice runes, and dark runes.
Expectedly, the broodmother was not very pleased. The infuriating beast identified the culprit immediately and charged at Qin Feng.
It was probably the strongest thrust Qin Feng had ever seen. There was little room and time for him to evade when the behemoth rushed at him at full speed.
That was why many had fallen.
An ancient warrior might still have a slight chance to survive since most had mastered superior qinggong skills. The same could not be said about gunslingers or ability users.
Naturally, Qin Feng was not one of them.
Bai Li who had laid low so far tacitly teleported Qin Feng a few thousand meters away before the assault reached him.
Although that distance was still rather short considering the broodmother’s unreasonable size, it was more than enough.
Qin Feng avoided the deadly assault and did not stop his attack. He had now successfully caught the full attention of the broodmother and lured it away from Leafsoul. The latter could finally take a breather.
Leafsoul was certainly not a common ability user since he was elected as the marshal of Omnesflores. His power was close to the emperor’s rank. If not, there was no way he could have survived in front of the broodmother for so long.
Still, stalling was the best he could do. With Qin Feng’s intervention, the circumstances had changed once again.
Qin Feng released S-tier skills again and again. Leafsoul began to wonder how Qin Feng possessed such a great load of conscious power. As time passed, injuries began to pile up significantly on the broodmother.
Six hours had passed since the discovery of the fungal sheath.
This was when a flower object appeared on top of Omnesflores. It looked like a lotus seat but it was just a normal five-petal flower. Despite its normal size, the flower possessed eccentric power irrelative to its size.
That proved only one fact—the newcomer was very powerful. The flower was like the power core of an Immortal—Not necessarily the largest, but the brightest star.
“Blooming Lord has arrived!” The aptitude users were stunned. They gazed at the flower expectantly.
She was wearing a pink robe. Her beauty was out of this world, maybe only slightly lesser than Bai Li.
Blooming Lord did not disguise her presence like Bai Li. Thus, she was more eye-catching and grasped everyone’s attention the moment she appeared.
Qin Feng only peeked through the corner of his eyes, then concentrated back on the battle at hand. In a battle of life and death, there was no room for him to be careless.
