Master of the End Times - Chapter 871

Chapter 871: Failure

Tens of thousands of phantoms infused with internal force exploded over Qin Feng’s head like fireworks.

The five hundred Lesser Sacred Armor robots were all perforated by different phantoms and were disabled midair.

Creak!

The robots all folded up like dumplings before they crackled and soared toward the ground, causing large craters upon impact. Some even crashed into the deactivated ones on the ground that he had positioned earlier.

Finally, they had completely stopped.

However, a weak whisper of consciousness managed to pass forward.

“Beep beep, threat level increasing. Requesting higher ordinance for defense!”

Qin Feng’s body was currently shrouded by a huge amount of energy and the transfer speed was shocking. If another batch of robots came rolling in he would not be able to handle it!

However, when there were no other robots around, the fluctuations of that kind of special consciousness transference was easy to detect. He managed to catch something on the top floor of the tallest building. Without even thinking, his consciousness surged.

“Flaming Meteor!”

The Earth and Fire ability was activated, forming a large meteorite that began to fall from the sky.

Boom!

The meteorite crashed into the building, instantly blowing it up, and that consciousness disappeared.

Except for the sound of the crackling flames, there was no other movement around and it allowed Qin Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after that, a new problem arose.

His Absorption Ability quickly transferred the pure energy around him into his dantian and melded it into his internal sea. The seas were ever increasing.

81 seas! 82 seas!

In just one breath, his internal force was formed into two seas.

Within less than a minute’s time, the internal force inside his body had reached 90 seas.

After a minute, his body obtained up to 100 seas of internal force.

There was no way to compress it due to it being pure energy.

With Qin Feng’s current capacity, if he tried to gather three more seas worth of force it would be very likely that he would burst.

At the same time, he had entered a curious state.

As the internal force in his dantian filled up, the Asteroid Assimilation move began to spiral.

As an S-tier martial art, the Asteroid Assimilation technique had its own specious system and every time it reached a new rank it was extremely risky, but that was normal for those who practiced this technique.

That was because the most terrifying thing about the technique was trying to suppress its violent outbursts of conflicting energy.

However, Qin Feng also had the Absorption Ability and it managed to do a fantastic job at suppressing these violent bursts of energy.

And now that the seas in his body had completely filled up his dantian, he had entered a new and unfamiliar state of existence.

Regardless of before or after his rebirth, he had never reached this kind of breakthrough before.

He unconsciously began to drift away as he sat down cross-legged, while his mind began to project image flashes to him.

In the battle between Long Yue and He Tianxing, the image of a bright full moon appeared behind them. Its surface was scoured with gashes that looked to be made by a blade and had an irregular fluctuation of internal force.

‘Is this a compression?’

‘Ancient warriors start from the F-tier, cultivating internal force and absorbing invisible spiritual energies from their surroundings. They compress this energy into internal force and turn it into a gas!’

‘The gas turns into a fog, the fog turns into a cloud, the cloud turns into a sea of clouds before condensing into liquid!’

‘The liquid becomes a pond, a pool, a sea!’

That was what all ancient warriors knew.

What about beyond that?

Why were S-tiers so much stronger than A-tiers, they were at least ten times stronger and a terrifying force to be reckoned with.

There were even many S-tiers that had had omniscience within their grasp, after all that Eye Devil managed to attack Qin Feng all the way from the Amazon Alliance while he was in Huaxia.

So powerful, how was that possible?

With such a drastic change, how could it happen?

It definitely was not as simple as expanding the internal force into an infinite ocean, but a third kind of compression.

Internal force could compress into a state like solid ice, transforming into a globe like the anomaly that Long Yue and He Tianxing had.

As for the specious nature of the Asteroid Assimilation, Qin Feng felt like he had suddenly opened up a stairway up.

‘Oh I see!’

‘No wonder the Asteroid Assimilation is so violent, Liu Meng didn’t die in the end. He ascended into S-tier!’

‘Once the internal force becomes a solid state, it would stabilize. The solid state wouldn’t be unpredictable, but the internal force would develop a color pattern. The control over it becomes different from what other people do as it takes on a different color. Once Liu Meng became an S-tier, it meant that his training in the Asteroid Assimilation technique was complete!’

‘The Asteroid Assimilation technique is a dark martial art. If it fell into the hands of a person who would even hesitate a little when it came to transforming the state of their dantian within the body, the longer it took, the easier it would be for them to die!”

‘On the contrary, if one goes full steam ahead, the faster they take to solidify their internal force, it would be harder for them to die!’

In fact, Qin Feng recollected that Liu Meng managed to reach S-tier in the matter of three years. With such a violently unpredictable internal force, how did the guy manage to hang on?

Perhaps being cruel was only one aspect, luck, was also an aspect as well!

‘I don’t need luck, all I need is power!’

The thoughts flashed through his mind, the surrounding energy was still filling his body and it made it difficult for him to think further.

Qin Feng manipulated the sea in his body, drawing out the power of ten seas and trying to compress it.

Ten seas was the amount possessed by those in the A-tier, but Qin Feng’s internal force was more solid than theirs. Even with the same amount of compression, Qin Feng had an easier and a higher success rate when it came to ascending into the S-tier.

After this period, his power would be greater than theirs.

“Compress!”

He exclaimed as his body tensed up like a large hand that was holding onto and vigorously pressing down on the sea.

The compressing force increased and the seas were gathered up under Qin Feng’s influences.

Whoosh!

Although they were pressed up against each other, even with the ten seas fusing together, there was no sign of them condensing into a solid state. What was more was that over time the seas began to push back outward, struggling with a repelling force.

When there was no oppression there would be resistance.

Since it could not be compressed, the seas gushed out.

Boom!

The force that he was originally manipulating inside his body suddenly burst, crashing against his dantian and then rushing out of his body.

In an instant, his face turned pale before his face suddenly turned red.

“Blurgh!”

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and the aura on his body suddenly became much weaker.

What Qin Feng did not expect was that he would actually fail!

Ten seas worth of internal force all rushed out of his body and his dantian was injured.

Fortunately he had used the gaia crystals to strengthen his dantian, otherwise it would have definitely been punctured.

Ascending into S-tier would not be so easy. Many people tried to break through this step, but before they could reach the top they plummeted all the way down.

Countless people have met their end like this!
