Qin Feng snapped out of his thoughts. The more important thing to do now was to strengthen himself by absorbing the runes around him.

Splash!

A stream of lava spurted up and landed on Qin Fengs body. The runes around him began to behave aggressively when the extreme heat did not seem to bother Qin Feng.

The lava began to reject Qin Feng as if it could identify him as a foreign entity. It was like adding a drop of water into a pot of boiling oil.

Flame Build!

Qin Feng slowly transformed into a human torch. The transformation allowed him to merge better with the lava around him.

As such, the lava no longer reacted violently. This gave Qin Feng an opening.

Absorption!

The lava was gradually soaked up by Qin Feng. His ability core was strengthened little by little.

I am going there! Bai Li said and immediately jumped into a silver stream. It was clearly where the spatial runes were concentrated at.

Bai Li had absorbed some of them earlier. Nevertheless, the number of runes leaked to the Earths surface was only minimal, which did not help Bai Li much. It was a different story here. The vast runes were precious even to an advanced beast like Bai Li.

Tung Yang faced the same problem as Qin Feng. He struggled in the blue sea and barely sustained the poundings. Through his consciousness, he sensed what Qin Feng had done and emulated the latters approach. After using Hydro Shift, Tung Yang integrated himself better with the sea of runes and could finally assimilate them.

It was a strenuous effort that squeezed almost all the stamina out of Tung Yang. This was because Tung Yang was also greatly affected by the energy storm from above.

At the center of the lava pool, Qin Feng had almost submerged himself entirely in it. The pulling force of the vortex between his brows grew stronger and stronger. The lava began to spin and whirled into Qin Fengs conscious realm.

Qin Feng dried up the three-hundred-square-meter pool in less than three minutes. His fire ability core had expanded to five centimeters in diameter.

His surroundings turned into a void after the runes were emptied. Qin Feng sensed that the galaxy force had begun to target him.

Crack!

Qin Fengs skeleton crackled under the pressure of the violent energy storm. Other peoples bones might have ruptured under such immense force.

Though the lava pool was dangerous, the force from the galaxy was obviously more threatening.

Rampage Influx!

Qin Feng moved swiftly and hid inside the forest.

It was the same forest Tung Yang had fallen into just now. However, Tung Yang was grappled by vines right at the forests edge and almost could not get free.

Besides the vines, a thick poison fog had also risen within the forest. The toxin was as lethal as an S-tier ability.

Wood Shift!

Qin Fengs body immediately turned into a log. He mimicked the form of a tree and began to absorb the wood runes.

Another person came through the rift while he was enjoying the supplement.

A familiar faceLord of Lightning, Oplan.

Following him, one after another ability user emerged through the rift. Some were caught in an incompatible rune pool, while others were lucky enough to fall right into their dominant rune type.

Fortunately, these were all composed aptitude users. None were killed so far.

Not long later, an ability user arrived at Qin Fengs region.

The user looked at Qin Fengs tree in awe.

Dont make a fuss. Find a place for yourself and meditate quietly! Qin Feng voiced through his consciousness. The visitor was none other than Voodoo Lord.

Yes, My Lord! Voodoo Lord complied obediently. This forest had plenty of runes to support two harvesters.

However, after Voodoo Lord left, more aptitude users came into the forest. They immediately recognized the shapeshifted tree but none of them spoke to him. Instead, they followed suit to absorb the runes.

Qin Feng did not want to expose too much of his true abilities. After all, he counted that at least thirty users had entered this Runic Realm.

If half of them were ability users, then a quarter of the Human Alliances S-tier ability users were in here at this moment. Of course, some of them probably came from the Dark Coalition.

That was still too much exposure in Qin Fengs opinion.

Regent Tung, I am going deeper. Do you want to follow me? He already guessed the answer before he asked the question.

As he had expected, Tung Yang rejected his offer through telepathy, Go ahead. I am already exhausted here. After a while more, I probably need to return to our realm first. Its safer for me to stay closer to the rift. Good luck to you and please be careful!

Okay!

After talking to Tung Yang, Qin Feng then turned to the silver stream Bai Li was in. The spatial runes were almost bottomed out by her. Bai Lis assimilation speed was comparable to that of Qin Fengs.

More precisely speaking, she was not actually assimilating the runes but simply packing them up. Bai Li had a personal dimension that could stock the runes for later use. In that sense, she could even collect the runes slightly faster than Qin Fengs Absorption Ability.

Bai Li, lets move on.

Okay!

Bai Li immediately teleported to Qin Fengs side. They headed toward a place with thicker runes following the fluctuation of the clusters.

Qin Feng had mastered nine rune types. In other words, he could absorb anything except the light type. After Qin Feng had picked an ideal spot, Bai Li then searched for the nearest cluster filled by spatial runes. In this place, Bai Li could move more freely with little hindrance in between the spatial regions.

Qin Feng caused an immediate explosion by landing on a region ravaged by a thunderstorm. Similarly, he covered himself in thunder form and opened the whirlpool.

Without reservation, he finished the thunder pool in about three hours this time.

His Absorption Ability became more powerful in parallel to his enhanced ability cores. As such, it became easier and easier for him to absorb these runes.

Next!

Qin Feng landed on a metal continent next. Numerous metals molded into the shape of swords and sabers, swinging in Qin Fengs way ferociously.

The metal weapons were useless against Qin Feng. They were all melted and absorbed by him as soon as they touched his body.

Boom!

Bam!

Splatt!

Splash!

All sorts of repulsion effects took place whenever Qin Feng switched to a new region.

The more runes Qin Feng absorbed, the larger his ability cores became.

After doing this repetitively for one day, other than his one meter dark core and ten centimeter ice core, his other cores had reached ten centimeter diameters as well.

This meant that his other abilities had also reached S-tier.

Such a rapid upgrade was awesome!

This was when a curious sound reached his consciousness.

Why have the runes here become thinner instead?

The question was raised by an SS-tier aptitude user.
