The New Qinggang City, Another Light Orb [2.7k]

Translator: CinderTL

Screech!!

The cry of an eagle pierced the air as a black flying eagle soared across the azure sky.

Beneath the drifting white clouds, skyscrapers rose and fell in succession, and bridges spanned the river at the city's center.

The flow of traffic was unceasing, and the silhouettes of people were everywhere.

In the distance, a towering metal wall, over a hundred meters high and a dull gray-black, encircled the city like a giant, silently guarding the bustling metropolis beneath it.

"Qinggang City?"

Stepping out of the spatial rift, Chen Feng stood in the park's green area, momentarily stunned by the sight before him.

He hadn't expected the world to look like this after breaking through the Spatial Barrier. It was as if he had arrived in a completely new and intact realm.

Wasn't Qinggang City supposed to have been destroyed by the Black Tide?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Feng stood still for a moment, pondering.

Something felt off, but he still moved forward.

The Holy Shield Colossus had already vanished without a trace. He walked slowly along the park's green path.

Lush trees and fragrant flowers surrounded him.

Under the gentle breeze, young men and women appeared on the cement and brick-paved paths, laughing and playing.

"Come catch me!"

"Hurry, let's claim the spot!"

"Whoever gets there first wins!"

Amid the laughter, a group of young people, some holding kites and others carrying backpacks filled with snacks, rushed into the grassy field.

A slightly overweight man stopped to catch his breath, right next to Chen Feng, and shouted loudly.

"Wait for me!"

After calling out, he quickly jogged to catch up, heading toward the open grassy area in the distance.

Peaceful and serene, Chen Feng watched the scene in silence.

After about ten seconds, he turned away and left the park.

The bustling city came into view. On both sides of the asphalt road, teeming with traffic, the brick-paved pedestrian streets were elevated by a step.

Hotpot restaurants, eateries, supermarkets, gyms, internet cafes—countless signs intersected in his line of sight. People brushed past him, stopping by the window displays of clothing stores.

"Mom, I want that dress!"

A little girl holding an ice cream cone pointed happily at a red dress inside.

The woman beside her smiled gently and nodded.

"Hey, honey, I'm still out for a business meeting. I might be late coming home."

A man in his thirties, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, passed by with his phone to his ear, looking weary.

As the voice on the other end of the line responded, Chen Feng paused in his tracks.

Looking up, he suddenly noticed figures leaping into view from the horizon. They were dressed in black combat suits—members of Qinggang City's Hall of Enforcers, as recorded in the diary.

Without delving into whether their abilities were extraordinary or not, Chen Feng could sense they were coming for him.

"An Abyssal Fiend has appeared!"

"All citizens, evacuate immediately!"

A loud shout rang out, and a black-clad enforcer had already arrived nearby.

The warning caused the street to fall silent. Everyone froze, unable to react immediately.

"What's going on? Why are the Hall of Enforcers here?"

"Didn't you hear? It's an Abyssal Fiend!"

"Ah? Is it him?"

Amid the murmurs of fear and confusion, the crowd quickly scattered. Several enforcers rushed to surround Chen Feng, their expressions alert.

"You, an Abyssal Fiend, dare to descend upon our world."

"Surrender now!"

The enforcers were a mix of men and women, young and middle-aged.

With a human appearance and clad in black combat attire, one of them reached out, their skin transforming into that of a tree person, binding and restraining.

Simultaneously, the concrete ground began to writhe and change like a swamp, creeping up along his legs and enveloping his entire body.

Intense malice filled the eyes of the Hall of Enforcers members, their gazes cold and brimming with hatred.

As for the bystanders around, they had already retreated far away, watching the scene with fear and pointing fingers.

"It seems it's over," said a middle-aged leader of the Hall of Enforcers, his body flickering with blue electric light.

The other team members wore similar expressions.

The concrete swamp covered his entire body, and the binding tree branches were like chains.

The so-called Abyssal Fiend was thus controlled, and it seemed they intended to take the target away, concluding their mission.

"Do you... know Wang Yu?" Suddenly, a deep inquiry rang out.

The black-haired youth, bound by concrete and tree branches, had an aggressive gaze as he looked at the crowd.

The world suddenly fell silent, the hustle and bustle of traffic disappearing, and the surrounding crowd seemed to freeze for a moment, as if the frames had dropped.

Crack!

A sharp, shattering sound rang out, and in an instant, cracks rapidly spread across the concrete, and the tree chains snapped with a loud crack.

"You!" The middle-aged leader of the Hall of Enforcers was both shocked and furious, blue light flickering around him, ready to converge.

Boom!!! The concrete exploded, debris flying everywhere.

The tree branches turned into powder, and a ferocious punch, like a javelin, whistled sharply as it struck forward.

Splat!! Blood splattered, and the figure burst into pieces.

The enforcer at the forefront was reduced to scraps, and the others were stunned for several seconds.

"Seeking death!!" The middle-aged enforcer's hands gathered and erupted with blue light, while Chen Feng coldly faced him, a bluish-black hue spreading like water across his body.

Buzz! Boom!!

A Dark Flash Burst, and the blue light dissipated.

When everything settled again, the middle-aged enforcer looked down in disbelief.

Blood dripped down, his black combat attire torn, and his chest pierced through.

A bloody hole appeared, and the bluish-black unicorn stood in place, a flash of crimson on his body.

Boom!!

The figure turned to dust, and the nearby members of the Hall of Enforcers were both shocked and furious.

Unconcerned with these weaklings, Chen Feng simply looked around, his gaze passing over the continuously astonished faces.

As if the world had frozen, he looked up at the azure sky and the glaring sun hanging high.

Buzz!!

In an instant, space rippled like waves, as if a veil had been lifted.

A blood-red moon hung high in the sky, and the entire world was plunged into darkness.

Mist swirled, skyscrapers collapsed, cars were charred, and ruins were everywhere.

The road signs were covered in blood and rust, and the shop windows beside him had already been crushed by collapsing bricks, turning into rubble.

The man on the phone was just a corpse, and the girl who wanted to buy a skirt was a petrified statue.

Whoosh!!

A cold breeze blew, its mournful sound echoing through the city.

Turning his head, he saw that the so-called members of the Hall of Enforcers were actually several ferocious, wolf-like humanoid monsters.

Their eyes were filled with crimson malice, and from the surrounding ruins and skyscrapers, one inhuman monster after another emerged, with waves of mist continuously spreading.

"Growl!"

The sound of beasts echoed, and the wolf-like humanoid monsters around charged forward.

From the ruins of skyscrapers and the streets on both sides, they came in droves, like locusts, quickly surrounding Chen Feng from all directions.

Shoulder, elbow, knee—more and more monsters appeared, binding themselves to various parts of his body, continuously crowding in, almost forming a massive black sphere.

In addition, the blood moon high in the sky emitted an eerie glow, as if some kind of power was dispersing from it, empowering these inhuman monsters.

The gnashing and tearing sounds seemed to carry a malice that could tear a person apart and drag them into the Abyss.

The next second.

Buzz! Boom!!

A Dark Flash Burst erupted, and all the monsters turned into debris, scattering in all directions.

The figure with a single horn reappeared in the world, slightly raising his head, his crimson fiberglass eyes meeting the blood moon.

The red, sinister light converged into a thin veil, layer upon layer of pressure continuously assaulting him, somewhat reminiscent of the Wrath of the Storm.

Chen Feng could feel that he was being rejected by this Dream World, and even his mental energy was being drained at an increased rate.

Moreover.

Roar!! A deafening roar sounded, as if a massive monster had detected the commotion and was charging over.

The ground shook, and the dust on the ruins fell in cascades.

Further away, a black bone eagle beast swooped down, emitting a series of unpleasant, piercing cries. On its back were several humanoid creatures that seemed to possess intelligence.

More and more monsters, stronger and stronger malice.

Chen Feng's eyes flickered, and he roughly understood the problem here.

"Similar to the Serpent Spirit Secret Realm?"

Marked for pursuit, and so-called hunting.

It felt like he was at war with the entire world.

Roar!!! The deafening roar interrupted his thoughts. It was a group of gray ape-like creatures, mostly at the fourth tier, with a few at the fifth tier.

In addition, there were half-human, half-bat creatures, skeletal hellhounds, and deformed monsters resembling prehistoric crocodiles.

Phosphorescent flames filled the sky, red light arcs, and sound waves covered the area.

There were even fifth-tier beings among them, swarming in like a Black Tide.

"I'll leave it to you."

Buzz!!! A massive white-gray giant solidified and appeared, its wingspan exceeding twenty meters as it soared through the air, stirring up a hurricane.

Everything in the world seemed to pause briefly, only for a fist like a heavenly pillar to strike horizontally.

Boom!!

Everything fell silent, all things annihilated.

Within a hundred-meter radius, all living beings were shattered, their dark green blood splattering and staining the ruins.

Seeing this scene and sensing that even more monsters were charging from afar, Chen Feng didn't hesitate. He immediately expanded his perception, enveloping everything around him.

Since this was still Qinggang City, there would naturally be Limit-Breaking Light Orbs here.

What he needed to do was to scavenge as much as he could before his strength ran out.

Whoosh!!

Instantly, his Blood Wings flapped, cutting through the sky.

The faint red Limit-Breaking Light Orb in his perception was so dazzling. He rushed into a ruined high-rise building and seized it.

During this, a Magma Troll-like monster roared and charged at him, followed closely by the Holy Shield Colossus, descending like a meteor.

Thud!!

The ground shook again, cracks spreading.

The sixth-tier Holy Shield Colossus was unstoppable, crushing the troll underfoot and shattering the black bone eagle with a single punch.

Chen Feng seized the moment and flashed away again, grabbing a white, glowing orb.

[You have picked up an (Attribute Light Orb)!]

It had been so long since he last found one. Chen Feng's eyes shone brightly.

But soon.

"The effect has weakened?"

Carefully sensing it, randomly, only his agility attribute increased by 0.1.

"Right, back then I hadn't even reached Inner Strength, I was just starting Bone Refining."

"Now that I've surpassed the Grandmaster level, my four-dimensional attributes have increased many times over, so it's normal for the effects to diminish."

Chen Feng wasn't disappointed because he understood a principle.

Little by little makes a mickle, and grains of sand can form a tower.

If one is 0.1, then what about ten, or a hundred?

In the blink of an eye, he discovered pale red Limit Breaking Orbs and pure white Attribute Light Orbs.

He plundered them one by one until a deafening sound erupted.

Boom!!! A storm swept through, shaking the ruined skyscrapers.

Through the shattered windows, Chen Feng saw golden light shining and white ash floating in the air.

But just then, a one-eyed troll, over ten meters tall, wreathed in flames and covered in black spikes, blocked the terrifying punch.

"Sixth tier..."

Chen Feng wasn't surprised.

The Black Tide had shown him the horrors of these Abyssal creatures, and the giant bat beast in Suojia City was the best proof.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless monsters surged from all directions, surrounding the skyscraper he was in.

At the same time, eagle-men and griffins swooped through the air, closing in.

Reflected in his pupils was all this malice, and he saw the Holy Shield Colossus being delayed.

Golden light spread as Chen Feng gripped his twin thin swords, facing the overwhelming darkness alone.

"Kill!!"

With cold precision, he soared into the sky.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Golden light flashed continuously as he moved through the ruins and splattering blood, seizing new light orbs along the way.

A black-boned eagle pursued him, its talons capable of piercing gold and shattering stone, sending chills down the spine.

Swoosh! Crack!

The Steel Bones thin swords instantly extended, transforming into a flash of golden light that vanished in an instant.

Bone fragments exploded, but Chen Feng showed no joy. Instead, he looked solemnly at the other monsters closing in from the sky.

Especially the male humanoid creature hovering in mid-air, with blood-red bat wings, menacing horns, a slender bat tail, and a demonic appearance.

Their eyes met, waves of malice surrounding him.

Chen Feng could clearly sense that the creature possessed intelligence no less than a human's, its face filled with disgust and murderous intent as it stared at him.

Whoosh!!

Without a word, it dove straight at him, and the surrounding monsters also charged.

Clang!!! The Steel Bones were blocked as the creature suddenly sprouted a pair of black iron claws from its hands.

Sparks burst in the air as fifth-tier energies clashed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The traces of swords and claws left only golden and black flashes of afterimages.

As the two exchanged blows, the concrete ceiling of the ruined skyscraper cracked and shattered. Other monsters trying to take advantage of the chaos were struck by the scattered sharp energy, torn apart, and piled into heaps of flesh and corpses.

"#￥!"

The demon-like creature suddenly uttered a syllable. Chen Feng's eyes narrowed as Steel Bones condensed on his chest, forming armor that overlapped with a bluish-black layer.

Whoosh!!

In the next second, the tips of the creature's wings gathered a crimson beam of light that shot through the air in an instant.

Boom!!! The powerful impact sent Chen Feng flying, crashing through walls of ruins and plummeting to the ground.

The sixth-tier one-eyed troll in the distance seized the opportunity to pursue, but the Holy Shield Colossus stomped the ground, causing an earthquake-like tremor as it roared.

"OOOOH!!"

Golden light condensed around its body as it threw a punch forward.

Hum!!

Golden light illuminated the heavens and earth, the powerful golden shockwave carrying a ferocious punch that directly pierced through the chest of the one-eyed Magma Troll.

The demonic man paid no attention, simply swooping down, his steel claws tearing through the air, aiming to finish Chen Feng.

Zzzz!

A strange sound appeared, and it paused for a moment.

In the next instant...

Whoosh!!! Like a bolt of lightning, the black horn-shaped light flashed past, leaving a charred blood hole in its chest.

"Huff... huff..."

Blood trickled from the corner of its mouth as it looked away from its chest, lowering its head in disbelief.

The blood-winged, azure-gold figure with the horn stood coldly on the ground, an overwhelming mental pressure radiating from its body, enveloping the heavens and the earth.

The sizzling sound echoed as black arcs of light continuously swirled around him.

"I just wanted to pick up the light orbs."

"Why... do you all have to push me like this?"

The low voice was drowned out by the continuous clatter of footsteps as countless monsters surged forward like a tide, surrounding him once again.

The demon-like man's chest writhed with flesh, struggling to move.

But.

Whoosh!!! The black horn-shaped light erupted into the sky. The blood-winged, azure-gold figure glanced around, and the black beam of light swept across like a shocking ring, annihilating everything in its path.

The ruins of low buildings collapsed, and the monsters were cut in half at the waist, their dark green blood splattering across the sky.

The demon-like man was reduced to two charred halves, and blood rain fell. Chen Feng staggered, crushing the bricks beneath his feet.

Without a moment to rest, he sensed even more monsters rushing toward him.

Exchanging a glance with the Holy Shield Colossus.

He nodded, quickly regaining his composure, and charged toward the location of the other light orbs!
