Chapter 690: Obol
The bottom of the Abyssal Ocean had begun to calm down.
The planet, after all, still had limitations in size and s.p.a.ce to allow just so many things to appear on it. A few hours after the huge crack had surfaced on the Earth, most of the areas that could not form a stable dimensional path had now been closed off.
A few dozen hours later, the sky became white again as soon as the crack started to close up. The Divine Mountain was now no longer shaking while the beast waves had stopped.
The ocean was now finally completely calm.
In the following hours, the A-tiers and B-tiers would then arrive to fight one another for loot and sc.r.a.ps.
Outside of the Divine Mountain, other people from the Human Alliance had already left their deep-sea vessels behind and stepped into the Divine Mountain.
“Obliterating Thunder!”
An A-tier ability user released powerful thunderbolts into the ocean, zapping countless sea beasts that were swimming within thousands of meters in the area.
“Swift Lightning!”
Then, the ability user zipped across thousands of meters above the now paralyzed sea beasts. However, it did not take long before they recovered and then started to attack him.
In an instant, hurricanes and tidal waves started to violently attack the ability user, forcing him to turn back.
He was not the only one having a hard time getting near the Divine Mountain—the other A-tiers too struggled a lot before they got to step onto the Divine Mountain.
At the same time, on the island, Bai Li’s ears twitched as she c.o.c.ked her head to one side, seemingly trying to listen to something.
Despite Bai Li too being an ability user, she was still by core a beast herself. As such, more often than not, she relied more on instincts to act.
She knew that the others had already stepped on the island without the need of using her powers and abilities.
Of course, after spending so much time with her, Qin Feng had learned to read her body language. As such, he too understood what the situation was and began to use his conscious energy to scan their surroundings.
“Someone’s coming!”
It was already morning, with the sun coming out from the horizon.
It was quite expected to see some people finally arriving on the island.
“Hmm? It’s Obol of the Philippines Alliance!”
This person was known as “the King of Thunder” in the Philippines Alliance. He was known to be quite prideful—and his ma.s.sive ego stemmed from his great power and strength.
At the very least, his social status in the Philippines Alliance was comparable to the regents in the Huaxia Alliance!
Obol turned his head toward a certain direction—straight in Qin Feng’s location! His conscious energy was spreading out of his body like crazy.
He had spotted Qin Feng as soon as he landed on the island.
Qin Feng quickly withdrew his consciousness energy and enveloped himself in dark runes, concealing his whereabouts.
Obol frowned and snorted, “Hmph! A mere B-tier thinks he can just spy on me and then get away with it?”
Then, Obol leaped up and sped toward Qin Feng’s location.
However, as soon as he moved forward for about a few hundred meters, he was intercepted by a few waves of ultra beasts. These ultra beasts had all evolved to near perfection now, and thus they could fight fairly effectively.
As such, it was quite difficult for Obol to catch Qin Feng right now.
“Let’s ignore the ones outside and head deep into the mountain. We might be able to find some ultra beasts that are more powerful!”
Ignoring Obol, Qin Feng brought Bai Li further into the mountain to gain more loot.
Time was ticking.
As such, he needed to loot as much as he could before more people got onto the island. In fact, right now there could already be some people lurking inside the mountain… and fighting them might be unavoidable.
As long as you had the treasures that others wanted, you would be considered their enemies!
Qin Feng had the memories from before he was reborn. If he could not get more loot than the others, his memories would all be wasted!
The energy of the Divine Mountain was too great. After journeying inside, Qin Feng found that there were plenty of Heavenly Jewels everywhere.
Teleporting around using Bai Li’s abilities would have resulted in them missing these treasures—and it would have been such a waste!
“In that case …”
Qin Feng eyed a B-tier beast king.
Due to most of these creatures having recently evolved from sea beasts, most of them were still crawling on the ground, wagging their ma.s.sive fish tails. From afar, they looked like giant lizards.
Of course, some of them had evolved into venomous sea snakes.
And this one? It was a ma.s.sive, terrifying sea snake!
It had beautiful, emerald green skin, indicating that it was rather venomous.
Without hesitation, Qin Feng attacked it with a ray of white light that emitted from his Sacred Armor from the shadows!
Poof!
This light instantly landed on the giant serpent, pus.h.i.+ng it back twenty meters, crus.h.i.+ng the plants and gra.s.s around it along the way.
When the light dispersed, a large crater appeared at where the sea snake was at. The sea snake swayed its tail nervously before settling down.
“Heh!”
Qin Feng sneered and raised his hand again. A beam of black light instantly covered the snake’s wound. Then, its flesh started to rot.
Pzzzt!
The sea snake instantly got up from the ground! Despite how fatal Qin Feng’s attack was earlier, this thing was still a B-tier beast king. It would not die so easily!
The sea snake rolled around for a moment before lunging at Qin Feng as it widened its fanged, b.l.o.o.d.y mouth.
“Psst…”
A mouthful of thick green fog dispersed out of its mouth and enveloped where Qin Feng stood.
Buzz!
Qin Feng’s internal energy formed a s.h.i.+eld and blocked the snake’s poisonous gases in the nick of time.
However, he could feel that his internal energy was seething violently and decreasing in power over time when the gas. .h.i.t on his s.h.i.+eld. This showed just how poisonous the gas was!
“Die!”
A silver ray whipped on the sea snake’s wound and cracked it open. Its heart was crushed almost instantly. The terrifying sea snake was now finally dead!
Qin Feng quickly moved out of the green poisonous fog and shone his black beam onto the snake’s corpse.
The sea snake was supposed to be dead. However, as soon as the black light was shone upon it, it slowly got up! Its body was now covered in a layer of black scales—it was now controlled by Qin Feng’s Dark Puppeteering.
Qin Feng had realized just how useful this skill was after using it in so many battles. As such, naturally, he would want to try to use it on the snake again this time.
Thus, he ordered the undead snake to move forward as he and Bai Li tailed behind it.
He then harvested all of the Heavenly Jewels within a two-hundred-meter radius. After that, he went to the lair of the other beast kings.
Then, he obtained another beast king undead puppet.
And then, repeat.
By doing that, his undead puppet army was growing bigger by the minute.

Meanwhile, the A-tiers were hunting ultra beasts around the island happily.
“Whoah! What kind of herb is this? I’ve never seen it!! It actually contains such a large amount of energy!”
“Stop, we can’t absorb it here right now. Keep looking!”
“What’s going on? Someone came here? There are so many fruits already plucked clean?”
Some people were excited, some were happy… And naturally, some of them were angry.
