Chapter 1010: A Thousandfold Gap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Runic Galaxy Realm went from being lively to lonely, but outside of the realm the uproar caused by the Runic Galaxy Realm was not over yet.
Countless ability users had congregated, trying to stabilize this rift and even form a spatial tunnel as they tried to connect the Runic Galaxy Realm to the Earth Realm.
With such a favorable circumstance, something that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was something they did not want to let go.
Qin Feng naturally knew that, in fact, the huge spatial rift would slowly close. However, in the end thanks to the efforts of countless ability users, a spatial tunnel of more than thirty meters in diameter was established. It became a sacred place that S-tiers could enter once every month.
Despite all this, it had nothing to do with Qin Feng at all. When people were trying to figure out how to further deter the interference caused by the violent force, he was still absorbing runes!
As the diameter of his ability cores increased, the more resources were needed, and the time dragged on and on.
“It will take at least half a year before my ability cores reach one meter. In that case, my strength’s improvement isn’t particularly significant, because generating and mastering abilities also need a lot of time!”
“But, I have the Sovereign Roar and dark ability is my original ability. As long as my dark ability improves then the Absorption Ability will be enhanced too!”
“A bird in hand is worth two in a bush. Now, I should try my best to absorb dark runes!”
Although Qin Feng already had the core of other eight ability element types, the speed of him absorbing dark runes was vastly greater compared to other runes.
Nobody was perfect though, Qin Feng did not have any way of absorbing the light ability, but he believed that if darkness was strong enough then even light would retreat.
As such, he gave up on absorbing every rune field in sight and went off to specifically look for dark rune fields.
Time passed as days went on.
A month later, the ability users joined forces to build a spatial tunnel.
Two months later, another SS-tier aptitude user appeared in the Human Alliance. The alliance was shaken up and the previous status quo would be broken as a result of this SS-tier.
Three months later…
In the Runic Galaxy Realm, who knows how far away in that runic galaxy, two figures appeared on the edge of a large dark rune field.
These two were Qin Feng and Bai Li.
At this time, Bai Li’s aura had also changed. She had become an S1-tier beast deity. This was a rare moment for Bai Li as she hardly ever advanced.
Qin Feng followed the surrounding energy and gradually got closer and closer to ranking up. The landmass in front of him was his chance.
On this dark field, there were signs of life. These kinds of lifeforms were called Runic Ones.
Every Runic One was completely made out of runes and its strength would not be lower than SS-tier when it was born and would perhaps be even stronger. The creature in front of him was about ten thousand meters long and approximately in the SSS-tier.
It was just that the behemoth was ignorant, it did not have a very powerful consciousness and was completely unaware of the fact that somewhere in the realm, a human was trying to consume it.
Qin Feng dropped down, the dark aura around him deceiving the weak consciousness of the Runic One. After all, this creature had not grown up yet, it was just an embryo.
“Ability, Absorb!”
His ability began to spread out. Compared to the Runic One, Qin Feng was more like a greedy Behemoth that quietly devoured the rune field.
The Field carried a huge amount of consciousness and runes which entered through Qin Feng’s brow and caused his consciousness and ability core to suddenly expand.
A bit of time passed and finally a wave of energy surged through his body.
S2-tier consciousness!
Three months and Qin Feng had ranked up again.
He felt that his consciousness had doubled in terms of expansion and when he used it to look into his conscious realm he saw that his dark starglobe was of immense size.
This starglobe could perhaps be stronger than Earth’s core with how large it was.
An ability core that was ten meters in size was a daunting sight.
The initial core of an S-tier was around one centimeters to ten centimeters and there was a distinguishable difference between normal ones and prodigies.
With continuous improvement, when reaching S9-tier, the ordinary person would only have about ten centimeters and a deity-level strong person had an ability core of up to one meter.
The minimum requirement for reaching SS-tier was having an ability core of one meter. That meant if someone were a deity-level S-tier then they could definitely be ranked up to SS-tier, but ordinary S-tiers could not ever successfully rank up in one lifetime.
Now, Qin Feng’s ten meter ability core would astonish everyone.
At this point, the ten times difference in size did not mean it was a tenfold difference in strength but a hundredfold difference, even a thousandfold gap.
With his ascension, the Runic One in front of him was completely consumed and a vacuum was formed which resulted in the violent force crashing in to fill the space.
Even though his Absorption Ability was strong, it was not invincible. At this time, Qin Feng felt its pressure.
“Retreat!”
He called out to have Bai Li draw him back, through a long distance in the Runic Galaxy Realm before they reached a place where the violent force was not so oppressive.
At this time, Qin Feng finally relaxed.
“That violent force was too powerful!” Originally he thought that he had complete free reign, able to go wherever he wanted, but now there was an obstacle and based on his powers, he could only stay for a short time in the location where the Runic Ones resided.
“Should we swap to somewhere else to find rune fields?” Bai Li asked.
Qin Feng thought for a moment before shaking his head.
“If we’re going to look at our current position from the starting point, only by moving forward would we find a stronger rune field. However, that force was too strong and the rune fields around us aren’t suitable for me to absorb anymore!”
While he could find rune fields, this was like a shift in appetite after consuming an entire cow to now eating bean sprouts. This was something Qin Feng could not bear.
“Instead, we’ll do this. We’ll come back after I have reached SS-tier!” Qin Feng thought.
That was because, even though his ability core was bigger, if he did not strengthen his consciousness he would not be able to use it. If this went on, would he not become an aptitude user with a partial discipline?
“Let’s go, we’ve been here for three months!” Qin Feng said.
“Mhm!”
Bai Li responded and followed after him as they traversed through countless rune fields and returned through the spatial rift.
With her strength, they only took three days before they reached the spatial rift. At this time, the area had changed greatly, the rift had shrunk but the spatial tunnel had been established and there were still many S-tiers cultivating on the rune fields.
After Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared, the ability users were surprised.
