Chapter 248

"Ding-dong~ Your guild [No-Return Alliance] has reached 12th place on the Human Race [Guild Leaderboard]. Rewards will be unlocked after entering the War Continent!"

"..."

Qin Feng casually picked up the BOSS's corpse and then looked at the portal in front of him.

The portal... its color had changed.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Compared to the portal on the previous 2,000 floors, this one looked more like a strange, constantly rotating vortex, as if it wanted to twist everything into it.

He glanced at the troops behind him.

After two consecutive days of campaigning, the Red Flame Knights were still brimming with killing intent, and neither Ailin nor Xiaohun showed the slightest sign of fatigue.

He took a deep breath and led his troops into the portal.

"Ding-dong~ You have entered the top floor of the [Mysterious Tower]. This floor is a special BOSS floor. Failure to challenge will result in permanent failure!"

"..."

The system sound faded.

Qin Feng examined the scene in front of him.

The ground was exceptionally flat and smooth, without any particles, clearly having been carefully polished. Various azure stripes crisscrossed the surrounding walls, shining with arcane brilliance.

In the sky, a giant hourglass was constantly dripping fine sand.

The structure of the hourglass was also exquisite, especially the azure patterns on it, which looked like magical circuits.

Qin Feng cast a Scout spell on it.

[Hourglass of Time]

Description: A special creature that exists here for unknown reasons.

Level: ???

Rank: Saint-Radiance Tier 9

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

HP: ???

Skills: [Rhythm of Time], [Retrospection of Time], [Condensation of Time], [Reminiscence of Time]...

Hiss!

Saint-Radiance Tier 9?!

Seeing the BOSS's attributes, Qin Feng felt... it was truly outrageous.

This... no wonder no one had been able to clear it for ten thousand years.

Saint-Radiance level beings had long since died out, hadn't they?

Who could beat a perverted Saint-Radiance Tier 9 thing?

Just then, the massive hourglass released a mysterious, transparent fluctuation.

"Ding-dong~ Warning! [Hourglass of Time] has released the skill [Reminiscence of Time]..."

"..."

The system's voice rang in his ears incessantly, but Qin Feng's consciousness was actually a bit dazed.

The sound drifted further and further away, until eventually, he couldn't hear anything at all.

In his daze, Qin Feng faintly heard a pleasant female voice.

"Reporting to the God King, ahead is the Void Race fleet!"

"?"

"!"

Qin Feng snapped back to reality.

Before his eyes lay the vast, boundless universe, with specks of stars dotting the immense starry sky.

In the far distance, a massive and terrifying fleet was slowly approaching.

The fleet's style was very strange, possessing both high-tech ship cannons and drive devices, as well as long, constantly moving tentacles.

Qin Feng frowned slightly.

What's going on?

Why is he here?

And...

He looked at the girl beside him, who was beautiful beyond compare.

She called him God King?

Qin Feng shook his head hard, his brain feeling a bit dazed.

"Lord God King, are you not feeling well?"

The female voice, filled with deep concern, came again.

The beautiful face of the girl in front of Qin Feng had magnified; she was so close that Qin Feng could see the smooth skin on her cheeks, her well-groomed long eyebrows, and her exquisite features.

What's going on?

Qin Feng cast a Scout spell on the girl in front of him.

[Shen Zhi Fei].

Description: Grand Commander of the God Race, the first commander under the God King, controlling ninety percent of the God Race's military forces.

Level: 800

Rank: Saint-Radiance Tier 8

"???"

Shen Zhi Fei?

Saint-Radiance Tier 8?!

Qin Feng blinked; he had truly never heard of her.

Only then did he examine his own form.

Golden form-fitting battle armor, a brilliant staff over two meters tall in his hand, and a crown shining brightly on his head.

Behind him were endless, terrifying troops; the massive army was so vast he couldn't see the end of it.

But without exception, their morale was extremely high, and they cast extremely fanatical gazes toward Qin Feng.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment again.

Then.

Damn it!!

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth twitched.

This... his strength had reached the terrifying Saint-Radiance Tier 9.

And the troops behind him... were even more terrifying Tier 20 God-subordinate units.

What was the concept of Tier 20?

Crown-level units were at most Tier 14; to reach Tier 20, one had to exceed the limit at least 6 times.

The Battle Valkyries had exceeded the limit once, but their attributes had almost doubled.

If it were 6 times...

The strength was probably dozens of times that of a Tier 14 Crown-level unit.

Qin Feng frowned slightly.

Including the woman in front of him, they were probably all God Race troops.

But even after being reborn once, Qin Feng had never heard of such terrifying troops.

It seemed these were not the God Race troops of the current era.

It appeared this was an illusion created by the [Hourglass of Time].

"I should just need to win this battle, right?"

Qin Feng muttered to himself and looked at his enemies.

[Annihilator (Saint-Radiance Level)] * 300

[Annihilator Warship (Saint-Radiance Level)] * 2,000

[Annihilator Abyss Hunter (Tier 20)] * 9 quadrillion

Hiss!

Qin Feng was shocked.

This... just a few of these could wipe the War Continent off the map.

The gods of the ancient era... were they facing such terrifying enemies?

And, Annihilators?

When he obtained the inheritance of the Star God earlier, Qin Feng had encountered a group of Annihilators.

It seems this group existed back in the ancient era.

Qin Feng shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

The girl commander beside him said: "Lord God King, we have gathered all the elites of the God Race, but... the enemy's troops are too vast. The reinforcements of the gods are on their way; we just need to hold on."

"Behind us is the War Continent, the... last paradise of the universe. We have nowhere to run!"

"..."

Qin Feng nodded.

However...

Wait for reinforcements?

That wasn't his style.

He checked his skill status.

Sure enough!

Aside from his strength being adjusted to Saint-Radiance Tier 9, Qin Feng's skills were still his own.

In other words... his Halo System still existed!

Qin Feng smiled slightly and suddenly activated all his halos.

Instantly.

Countless invisible halos enveloped all the troops.

"This is?!"

The beautiful eyes of the girl beside him widened instantly, and she looked at her fair palms in disbelief.

She could feel... her body was filled with a terrifying power she had never possessed before!!

Qin Feng looked solemn and ordered the girl: "Kill them!!"

"Yes!!"

The girl closed her eyes slightly, then raised the brilliant long sword in her hand high and swung it forward fiercely.

"God's Descent!!"

As the delicate shout fell, a dazzling golden light shone forth.

The originally dim universe was illuminated brightly.

Following the girl's order, the massive God Race troops launched a fierce attack.

In the boundless universe, streaks of golden light flew toward the front.

Qin Feng took a deep breath; he had never seen such a magnificent battle scene in his life!

However.

He was thoughtful; even for the God Race, whose technological level was at the peak of the universe, the combat method for top-tier powerhouses still returned to melee.

The Great Dao is simple.

The end of all energy application is melee combat!

The troops of both sides soon made contact.

And then...

"What the hell?! Are these God Race troops cheating?!"

"Damn it!! How did they suddenly become so fierce?!"

"Focus fire, focus fire quickly!!"

"My high-level divine arts are actually ineffective?! What level of Dispel spell is this?!"

"These people are not right!! As long as they aren't killed instantly, they heal to full health every second!!"

"..."

By now, Qin Feng's many halos had become extremely exaggerated, and what was even more terrifying was that most of the halo effects were percentage-based.

The stronger the troops, the stronger the halo effects!

The battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Qin Feng didn't need to lift a finger; he only needed to sit in the rear and ensure the troops remained covered by the halos.

Several hours later.

Boom!!

Amidst the fierce explosion of fire, the massive fleet ships were dismantled into countless fragments, and the massive energy formed a small mushroom cloud that spread in all directions.

At the same time, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding-dong~ You have successfully broken through [Reminiscence of Time], [Hourglass of Time] HP -33%!"

"..."

Qin Feng's vision became dazed again.

After a blur, he returned to the 2,000th floor of the [Mysterious Tower].

Crack!

Terrifying cracks suddenly appeared on the structure of the massive Hourglass of Time.

Its health bar dropped by a third directly.

Ailin was startled: "Lord Lord, what happened?"

"Uh, it's a long story..."

Qin Feng shook his head; it seemed the few hours he experienced were but an instant here.

At this moment.

Mysterious fluctuations struck again.

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth twitched.

Damn it!

Again?

His vision dazed once more.

A familiar voice came to his ears:

"What are you dazed for? We're about to siege the city!"

"..."

Huh?

Qin Feng looked at Lu Ziyue beside him.

Compared to the naive girl he saw a few days ago, she was clearly more mature now; the childishness on her face had faded, replaced by a hint of steadiness.

Being stared at directly by Qin Feng, Lu Ziyue blinked, a bit confused.

She patted Qin Feng on the shoulder: "Cheer up, this is our guild's first large-scale operation!"

"..."

Qin Feng took a deep breath.

[Hourglass of Time], huh...

Interesting!
