Master of the End Times Chapter 979 – Tidal Darkness

Chapter 979: Tidal Darkness

After the two had a conversation, Qin Feng once again started another disinteresting rampage. With all the dark energy covering the area, any normal person would quickly become twisted and start falling apart.

Qin Feng had seen a dark ability user in the past, one with a powerful consciousness but also a twisted mind. His belief was that the world should be doused in darkness, that death was the only destination and humanity should perish and rot away until there were nothing but skeletons. In his eyes, that would be the most beautiful thing.

There were many people like that. Darkness was something that corrupted the soul. Fortunately, Qin Feng had Bai Li by his side, as if she was the light that surrounded him and illuminated the dark.

After more than ten hours had passed, he heard the sound of crashing and that familiar stream appeared again.

This lifted Qin Feng’s mood, it looked like this was something that happened every day.

“Looks like it’s related to night and day, just like the tide!”

After his first time experiencing it, this time Qin Feng had found his momentum. He once again raised his consciousness in one night, and when the tide was low, his spirits were filled with a heightened urgency.

He wanted to know where this tide came from, where it went and whether or not it would directly lead him to the Immortal’s crystal core.

Of course, Qin Feng was more careful this time.

Whoosh!

The tide of darkness receded and he frantically raced after it, but only after a kilometer, a pair of ultra beasts ahead of him noticed him.

It was actually two SS-tier ultra beasts.

Hisss!

These two ultra beasts were serpentine creatures, the moment they saw Qin Feng their pitch black eyes locked onto him and slithered forward like the wind.

“Rampage Influx!”

Qin Feng’s energy immediately burst forth and he started turning back.

However, these two serpents did not want to let him go and actually raced after him.

“Shadow Split!”

His body separated into seven versions of himself and ran in different directions with each of them activating Phantom Shift.

A series of S-tier abilities and moves was unleashed one after another, just so he could escape.

The giant serpents were bewildered by Qin Feng and chased after one of his shadows without bothering him again.

This made him silently thankful, but he was also slightly disappointed. His attempt at investigation was once again foiled.

However, he had begun to form another idea in his mind.

He was not someone who gave up easily. Previously in the Snow Lady’s Realm, he accidentally encountered the Immortal’s crystal core and this time it made him think, did this dead Immortal not leave behind an inheritance and instead gave it up?

Naturally, he was unwilling to accept that idea.

“Shadow Split can confuse SS-tier Death Behemoths because my entire body transforms into dark runes, but I can’t maintain this form for a long time!”

Now, he needed a way to solve this once and for all.

He suddenly had an epiphany in the form of a very bold idea.

“Bai Li, I want to rest for a bit!”

“Come here!”

Bai Li reached out with her hand and Qin Feng entered her realm where time flowed faster.

When he entered, he did not immediately start taking a break. Instead he took out the Magical Tesseract.

In the next moment, the center of his brow began to swirl as Hell Stones appeared out of it one by one.

With two days worth of collecting, he had accumulated up to three hundred Hell Stones. Putting them together in a small bag, he put all of these Hell Stones inside the Magical Tesseract.

“Refine!”

Although these Hell Stones were powerful, they were only considered as S-tier materials. While they could be used as they were, it was not uncommon for them to get smelted to make equipment instead.

As such, rune equipment inlaid with these sacred stones was stronger than those created from crystal cores.

Qin Feng only understood the concepts of what was strong in the past, but he never really understood why. Now, he understood that sacred stones were only things powerful people were able to provide.

The Magical Tesseract was refining things very slowly and it was not as quick as before when it was being used to generate S-tier items, but this slowness was naturally acceptable for him.

His consciousness had been manipulating the Magical Tesseract all this time and the process went on for a full day before the contents transformed into what he needed.

A combat uniform more discreet than the Dark Armor.

He swapped into this combat uniform and encased his entire body with Hell Stone. This completely concealed his aura.

More importantly, this item was made by the Magical Tesseract, meaning that it was connected to his consciousness, much like how a finger was connected to an arm. When Qin Feng wanted to hide his aura, this armor would serve as a stronger option than the cloak that he obtained from the Dragon-borne.

The specters would not be able to detect Qin Feng’s aura now, nor would they seek to attack him due to being attracted by the Hell Stones.

Once everything was ready, Qin Feng left the realm and stepped back into Dragonspine Valley. After a hundred days of combat, night fell and the familiar tide arrived again.

This time, he chose to conceal his aura, and instead of fighting the specters he started moving upstream.

The tide eventually went past his waist and reached all the way up to his chest. As the resistance against him got more and more powerful, the energy around him got stronger and stronger.

He continued to move forward until it flooded over his head.

This time, when the tide receded, he finally seized the moment.

While this was not completely literal, he let himself get taken by the tide, letting his body get swept away.

“Can’t keep going forward, I won’t be able to open up my space!” Bai Li became anxious.

“It’ll be fine, even if you can’t open it we’ll be fine! This armor is made out of Hell Stones, the specters wouldn’t be able to find me!” Qin Feng said.

Bai Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust Qin Feng.

He continued to drift along the tide, ultra beasts with terrifying auras appeared around him from time to time but Qin Feng was not discovered.

After a long while, he came to a stop as the surrounding water disappeared, and he discovered a high slope.

Hundreds of powerful creatures were on this high slope. Their bodies seemed more solid and from the looks of things they had a characteristic of something that existed in a ‘living body’. A soul.

What attracted his attention the most was the fact that the ground was filled with Hell Stones.

Fortunately, with his armor being made out of Hell Stones, he was able to blend into his surroundings perfectly. He stayed close to the ground and quickly collected the Hell Stones.

The SS-tier Death Behemoths here were completely different from the specters. Qin Feng lay low on the ground as he continued to collect the stones.

For him, this was a massive harvest.

Not to mention, he had already gained back the amount used to craft the armor, even doubling in amount.

In his moment of joy, the crashing sound came again.

Water washed over the slope and crashed down, gushing toward Qin Feng’s body. The unprepared Qin Feng could not brace himself in time and was washed away by the river.
