Chapter 268 Three Feet and Three Arms Above the Sky!
The high-ranking lord of the crested ibis clan, "Shadow of Platinum," was still in shock at the appearance of the Azure Phoenix.

When one's mind is shaken, the perception of danger is slowed down.

In the blink of an eye.

It turned its head in horror, and what came into view of its rapidly contracting pupils was a pale white blade of light that filled its entire field of vision!
The sword intent was boundless, as fierce as a gale from the heavens, and as heavy as a thousand mountains collapsing.

I turned around in surprise.

Three feet and three inches from the sky!
At that moment, the crested ibis lord felt that he was only three feet and three inches away from death!

The Xuanjin Battle Blade tore through the sky, carrying an overbearing intent that could judge all things and divide life and death.

Ignoring all the defensive brilliance that the "Platinum Shadow" had hastily gathered, it precisely swept across its slender neck!
however--

Just as Xu Feng's blade was about to completely annihilate "Platinum Shadow"!
"Roar--!!!"

A roar far more terrifying and violent than any tiger's roar before, as if it originated from the primordial ancient times, suddenly exploded from an inconspicuous mountain peak on the flank of the battlefield!

With this roar, a terrifying pressure of the ultimate lord level descended like a tangible mountain!
The sky seemed to darken, and all beings below the level of War God felt their hearts stop and their blood stagnate!

A massive figure, like a golden lightning bolt, burst forth from the mountain peak.

It was a giant tiger, far larger than the "Xuan Tan Shan Jun".

Its fur is not colorful, but rather a dark, almost ethereal color that seems to devour light.

Only a twisted "king" character on his forehead burned with a ghastly white flame!

Its speed was extremely fast, and its target was Xu Feng, who had just sheathed his sword and whose aura was in a brief period of decline!
It is the hidden ultimate lord of the Tiger Clan!
It disregarded its status and chose this moment to launch a deadly sneak attack!

The tiger claw, imbued with destructive power, tore through space and instantly reached Xu Feng's head.

If that claw strike lands squarely, even the ultimate war god would find it extremely difficult to escape unscathed.

In an instant.

The situation took a dramatic turn!

Everyone's heart was in their throats.

Yun Song's eyes were bloodshot.

Wang Zheng and the others had solemn expressions.

Just when many people thought Xu Feng was doomed—

"Hmph! The old cat that's been hiding its head and tail has finally decided to come out, huh?"

A voice, so cold it seemed to freeze the soul, rang out calmly.

At the same time, the temperature in the void beside Xu Feng suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Countless tiny ice crystals condensed out of thin air, instantly drawing out all the moisture in the air!
A slightly thin figure, yet exuding an aura of extreme cold no less powerful than that of the golden tiger, shot up from the forest and silently positioned itself between Xu Feng and the terrifying tiger claws.

The newcomer was none other than the ultimate war god of the human race—Frost!
He didn't even look at the devastating tiger claws.

He simply raised his right hand casually, spread his five fingers, and gently pressed down on the tearing attack.

Snap, snap——!
An extreme burst of cold air!
The space dozens of meters in front of us seemed to freeze instantly.

Those indestructible tiger claws, along with the violent energy they carried.

Less than three feet away from the frost's palm, it was forcibly frozen by a layer of dark blue ice that appeared out of nowhere, several meters thick.

It could not advance even an inch further!

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

The golden tiger shuddered violently, finally breaking free from the ice.

The situation changed again in an instant!

Humanity also has a supreme war god lying in ambush here.

Moreover, it is an extremely troublesome ice-type ultimate warrior!

Frost slowly raised his head, stepping on two throwing knives hovering nearby. His icy gaze locked onto the huge golden tiger shadow in the air, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Your opponent is me."

All of this happened in a single instant.

puff--!
at the same time.

Xu Feng's killing move remained unwavering, slaying the astonished and delighted crested ibis lord.

There was no violent collision, only a soft but terrifying tearing sound.

A crested ibis head, filled with horror, despair, and disbelief, soared into the sky!

Hot blood and essence gushed into the sky like a fountain!
Swish!
In an instant, Xu Feng had a thought, and the throwing knife suddenly shot out.

By the time the crested ibis carcass hit the ground, Xu Feng had already skillfully skinned and butchered it, storing the flesh in his spatial ring.

He sheathed his sword, turned to look at Han Shuang, and said, "Thank you, senior."

Han Shuang's lips curled into a smile as she looked at the entrails and corpse lying on the ground and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you've got some nerve."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "I knew that you would definitely take action, so I was bold."

Han Shuang chuckled softly, then turned to look at the golden tiger: "King of Kaiyuan, it's been thirty years, hasn't it?"

The giant tiger with its piercing eyes and white forehead growled as it glanced at the "corpse" of the crested ibis lord.

He glanced again at the many war gods behind Han Shuang, including Xu Feng.

Finally, he bared his teeth, glared coldly at Frost, and said in a low voice, "Hmph! Human, this matter is not over! Let's go!"

He then led the tiger clan warriors into the mountains.

The last remaining crested ibis lord in the sky let out a furious cry and fled in disarray.

Threat removed.

All the Cloud Rabbits breathed a sigh of relief, their gazes towards Frost and Xu Feng filled with gratitude and awe.

"Thank you, Senior Han Shuang!" Yun Song clasped his hands in a salute and bowed deeply.

Many Cloud Rabbits quickly returned the greeting.

"They're expressing their gratitude, Senior Frost!"

Xu Feng translated.

Han Shuang landed lightly, jumped off Xu Feng's flying knife, and waved with a smile, as if he were just a dejected uncle next door: "No need to thank me, it's nothing, keep going."

After saying that, he pulled Xu Feng aside and asked him about his master, Li Yuanying.

"Without reaching the Star God Realm, one is ultimately just an ant. Your master and I were once of the same generation."

"Frost sighed."

Xu Feng then learned that this ultimate war god was actually of the same generation as his master, and they immediately had another conversation.

Under the personal escort of this ultimate human war god.

With no further obstacles, the migrating team finally arrived safely at their destination.

It is located in a mountain forest with abundant water and grass and a rugged terrain, about ten kilometers northwest of Base B3.

This distance was carefully calculated to be within the range of B3 base's powerful military influence and rapid support capabilities.

It also maintains the independence and tranquility that the Cloud Rabbits love, so as not to make them feel oppressed.

Looking at the mountains and forests that will become their new home, the Cloud Rabbit people's eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.

On the way here, Yun Song and the elders had already explained the situation of the Cloud Rabbit Clan and their future plans to the clansmen.

Although many Cloud Rabbit people were shocked and terrified, they quickly calmed down under the reassurance of the higher-ups.

At least for today's battle, they should still be grateful to the human race.

Seeing that the human race had already prepared the Cloud Rabbit Clan's old-fashioned dwellings and had also trimmed and maintained the surrounding mountains and forests, the humans were now in a state of disarray.

Elder Yun Song gripped Xu Feng's hand tightly, his old eyes reddening slightly, his voice choked with emotion: "Brother Xu, I cannot thank you enough! From this day forward, the Cloud Rabbit Clan will be your most loyal friends!"

"Brother Yun, you flatter me."

Xu Feng looked at the Cloud Rabbit Clan who had settled down safely, and felt reassured.

That was the right move.

The next step is to help the Cloud Rabbit Clan establish themselves here and accumulate strength.

He will be able to go to the Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault in three years.

I just hope that by then he had already reached a higher level.

He didn't know how long the secret of the treasure vault could be kept. Three years was too long; he had to prepare for the worst.

As soon as the Cloud Rabbit Clan settled down, the Fox Clan and the Tree Clan sent them congratulatory gifts.

In addition, the teacher's wife, representing Base B3, came to offer her congratulations.

This made the Cloud Rabbit Clan feel quite flattered.

Because the tribe had just settled down, all supplies were incomplete.

Therefore, the master's wife personally directed the base to send a batch of living supplies, including but not limited to food and clean daily necessities.

The care shown by the humans and the enthusiasm of the fox and tree tribes quickly put the Cloud Rabbit tribe at ease.

It seems that migration is not a bad thing.

With a strong neighbor nearby, safety is more guaranteed, and life seems to have hope.

After the Cloud Rabbit Clan settled down, Xu Feng stayed at Base B3 for a few more days.

Seeing that the Cloud Rabbit clan was beginning to adapt to the environment, he decided to head back home.

Just as he was about to leave, his master's wife stopped him again.

"Don't rush off yet. A very important person is coming here and will have the opportunity to meet you."

"See me? A big shot? Who is it?" Xu Feng asked, puzzled.

Di Ruyan smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you see me."

"Why do you want to see me?" Xu Feng asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey, of course it's because of the Moon Goddess's legacy, what else could it be?"

"With such a great achievement, people are very curious about what abilities you, Li Yuanying's disciple, possess that have enabled you to establish a connection with the Cloud Rabbit Clan."

Xu Feng shrugged and decided to wait a couple more days to meet this so-called important person.

three days later.

Around 11 a.m., Xu Feng, who was planning to go to the city with Yun Zhongfei for lunch to broaden his horizons, was called away by his master's wife.

"A big shot has arrived?" Xu Feng asked with a smile, not paying much attention.

"Yes, you're here. Come with me to the banquet."

"Once you're inside, don't say anything out of the ordinary. Wait for him to approach you before you respond, understand?"

"Wow, such a grand display!" Xu Feng chuckled.

Di Ruyan smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you see it."

Soon, Di Ruyan led Xu Feng to a quiet courtyard in a high-ranking official's residential area in the north of B3 base.

The environment here is completely different from other residences, with green mountains and clear waters, birdsong and deer running around, like a paradise on earth.

After passing through countless courtyards, the two finally encountered some martial artists on duty and many service personnel.

A small banquet seemed to be taking place in the courtyard; the theme was unknown, but the level of the event was quite high.

As soon as Xu Feng entered, he spotted Zhang Zhenshan, the head of Base B3, respectfully toasting someone.

To Xu Feng's surprise, the ultimate war god Han Shuang was also there.

In addition, there were many senior executives from Area B whom he had met in the video conference.

But soon, his breathing became rapid.

because.

Anyone can see it.

Even though the room was filled with experts, all of whom were high-ranking members and top talents from Zone B, it was still a challenge.

But almost everyone subtly revolves around one person.

That person looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a gray casual outfit, with a resolute face and a smile, he was talking to Han Shuang.

He looks like a senior executive of a company, or perhaps a student's parent.

It gives people a feeling that is both special and ordinary.

However, Frost, who is the ultimate war god, bowed and scraped before his opponent like a junior.

He seemed extremely respectful. It wasn't until the man turned to look at Xu Feng and his gaze fell upon his face that he remained so.

boom!
A sudden, surreal feeling, as if enveloped by heaven and earth and plunged into an endless starry sky, sent a shiver down Xu Feng's spine.

In an instant, the world in Xu Feng's eyes was reduced to just this one figure.

But the next moment.

He snapped back to reality, and the hushed whispers around him returned to his ears.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely his illusion.

Xu Feng's eyes widened suddenly, and he swallowed hard.

He could hardly believe his eyes; his heart was pounding wildly in his chest.

An existence that could command such respect from the ultimate war god, Frost, that could command the utmost respect from the entire B-zone leadership, and that could make him feel as if he were falling into an endless starry sky with just a glance.
Looking across the entire human world, there is only one person!
Li Hengkong!
The strongest human on Earth!
Chairman of the Earth Martial Alliance!

A legendary figure, almost godlike, in the hearts of all human martial artists!

Xu Feng felt his breathing become rapid.

He never imagined that the "important person" his master's wife spoke of would be this legendary figure.

This is a figure who lives in textbooks and global news.

It is the pinnacle that countless martial artists look up to their entire lives!

Di Ruyan gently touched him and whispered, "Stay calm and take it easy."

But deep in her own eyes, there was also a hint of surprise that was hard to hide.

To be honest, she was quite surprised when she learned that Li Hengkong had made a last-minute decision to come to the 13th Dimension.

He almost never leaves the third-dimensional realm.

But this time, an exception was made for a clue to the inheritance of the Moon Goddess.

What does this mean?
This indicates that the inheritance of the Moon God is extremely important to the Great Xia and to humanity.

It was so important that even Li Hengkong had to pay close attention to it personally.

Just then, Li Hengkong finished his conversation with Han Shuang and turned his gaze over again, with a gentle smile on his face.

He first nodded slightly to Di Ruyan, who was standing next to Xu Feng.

He then whispered something to the attendant beside him.

The attendant immediately walked up to Di Ruyan and Xu Feng and said respectfully, "General Di, War God of Wind Blade, the Speaker requests your presence."

coming!

Xu Feng took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and followed behind his master's wife toward the center of the circle.

Wherever he went, all the high-ranking officials and war gods voluntarily made way for him.

People cast curious, admiring, or envious glances at him.

"Is this the Wind Blade War God?"

"I heard he's a disciple of Councilor Lee."

"Was he the one who organized this incident involving the Cloud Rabbit Clan?"

"The future life is terrible."

"I didn't expect the Speaker to want to see him. It seems this kid has a very promising future."

"Yes."

In an instant, Xu Feng could feel everyone's eyes focused on him.

"Speaker," Di Ruyan said, bowing first.

Xu Feng followed closely behind, clasped his hands and bowed, his voice steady but unable to hide a hint of nervousness: "Junior Xu Feng greets the Speaker!"

"Hehe, no need for such formalities."

Li Hengkong's voice was calm, with a peculiar magnetism that seemed to soothe the turmoil in one's heart.

"It's been a long time, Ruyan. I've hardly seen you since Yuan Ying broke through to the Star God Realm."

Di Ruyan smiled and said, "You are a big shot, and you have big shots to worry about. We little people can worry about small things."

Li Hengkong laughed heartily, then turned to look at Xu Feng, examined him for a moment, and nodded: "Not bad."

Just two words, simple and direct, yet carrying immense weight.

A faint gasp could be heard from the surrounding area.

To be personally praised as "not bad" by this being is a weight that would make many war gods present extremely envious.

"You flatter me, senior," Xu Feng quickly waved his hand.

Li Hengkong smiled, ignoring Xu Feng's modesty, and asked instead, "I heard that you have some connection with the ancient beings 'Yin' and 'Blood Butcher'?"

Xu Feng felt a slight chill in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from such an existence, and said frankly, "Yes, this junior is fortunate to have received some favor from the two seniors."

“Opportunity is also part of strength.” Li Hengkong nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

"The 'Blood Slaughter' treasure vault will open in three years; you should do your best to obtain it."

If we can gain something from this, it will be a great blessing for you and for our human race.

I will not hide this news; I will even release it myself.

Xu Feng and everyone else present were stunned at almost the same time.

"This"

Li Hengkong's gaze swept over everyone: "I will not hide the fact that the Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault contains the Moon Goddess's inheritance."

This is a shared opportunity for humanity, and it's also the rule we established when we founded the Martial Alliance.

At that time, all warriors and martial artists worldwide will be eligible to participate; those destined will be informed.

Li Hengkong's single sentence seemed to define the nature of the matter.

After a moment of surprise, many of the high-ranking officials present nodded to indicate that they would remember.

There wasn't a single doubt about it.

"Keep it up." Finally, Li Hengkong said to Xu Feng.

"This junior will certainly do his best." Although Xu Feng did not understand Li Hengkong's behavior, he still nodded solemnly.

Li Hengkong looked at Xu Feng, his eyes seemingly sparkling with starlight.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said something that left Xu Feng somewhat puzzled, yet also inexplicably heavy:
"This starry sky is far more vast and dangerous than we can see."

The storms to come will require new pillars of strength; let's seize the time to grow.

After saying that, he said no more, nodded gently to Xu Feng, and then turned to talk quietly with another person in charge beside him.

It was as if those words were just casual encouragement.

But Xu Feng stood still, his heart filled with turmoil.

Li Hengkong's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

What does "the storm of the future" refer to?
Revivalism?
Alien?

Or is it a more distant and terrifying threat?

I have a feeling that he's met some really important people.

His master's wife gently tugged at him, signaling that he could leave.

Xu Feng bowed respectfully to Li Hengkong's back once more before stepping aside with his master's wife.

The banquet ended soon.

Hsu Feng quietly left the scene.

Stepping out of the banquet courtyard, Xu Feng saw Xu Nian's envious smile and suddenly came to his senses.

The number one person on Earth actually took the initiative to ask to see me? And even said I was "not bad"?
I am truly flattered.

However, Xu Feng was puzzled as to why Li Hengkong would make the Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault public.

"why?"

Xu Feng couldn't help but ask his question in a low voice again, as if he were asking Xu Nian, or as if he were asking himself.

"Wouldn't it be more in our interest to keep the information inside and concentrate our efforts on investigation?"

Why should martial artists from all over the world have a share of the pie?

Doesn't this add unnecessary variables and reduce the chances for our own people?

He asked Xu Nian and got the answer.

But the answer was somewhat difficult for Xu Feng to understand.

"Because he is the first person on Earth, the pillar of humanity, and the chairman of the Martial Alliance."

He is not just Li Hengkong, nor is he just a Chinese.

Xu Nian said this.

Xu Feng remained silent for a long time.

Perhaps when Li Hengkong reaches a position and status, his thoughts and concerns are no longer limited to the affairs of one clan, one region, or one country.

What I think about and worry about is the rise and fall of an entire civilization and the waves of the starry sea.

He shoulders the responsibility for the survival and development of all human civilization in countless dimensions and in the vast starry sky.

Xu Feng felt only deep awe for this.

But he knew he couldn't do those things.

Xu Nian smiled slightly, seemingly not surprised at all: "The Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault and the Moon Goddess's inheritance are too tempting."

If our Great Xia wants to forcibly monopolize it, once the news is completely leaked—which is inevitable—guess what will happen?
Suspicion? Siege? Or even civil war?

Xu Nian's voice was very low, carrying an undeniable seriousness.
"Speaker Li made the news public and organized an exploration in the name of the Martial Alliance."
While it may seem like they're giving up some benefits, they're actually "clearing landmines," using a calculated strategy to defuse a potential, massive crisis that could tear the human alliance apart.

He will keep the competition 'within the rules,' using the ancient principle of 'opportunity favors the worthy'—a principle universally acknowledged by all humanity—to restrain any potential cutthroat competition.

Yes!

What Li Hengkong was looking at was not the gains or losses of a single treasure exploration.

He's looking to the future!

The question is whether humanity's younger generation can grow up quickly under high pressure!
What we'll see is whether the entire human race can unleash even greater vitality in competition and cooperation as a result of this event!

He stirred up the waters, not to obstruct anyone.
It was so that real dragons could leap out of the water amidst the wind and waves!

All he was thinking about was how to get the treasure.
What Li Hengkong was thinking about was how to use this opportunity to cultivate more pillars of humanity who could shoulder the future!

An unprecedented sense of urgency and fighting spirit also ignited in his heart.

At this moment, although Xu Feng still could not fully agree with this "generosity," he felt a genuine and heartfelt awe for the vision and magnanimity of that number one person on Earth.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, the confusion in his eyes gradually being replaced by determination.

"I understand," Xu Feng said softly.

"The cake is meant to be made bigger, not kept."

Now that the stage has become bigger, there are more competitors.

Then I will become stronger than everyone else, so strong that they will despair.

When the time comes, the opportunity will naturally be mine!

He figured it out.

Li Hengkong gave him, and everyone else, a fair chance to compete.

So what he needs to do is seize these three years and improve himself like crazy.

With absolute strength, they crushed all their opponents in that destined-to-be-world-renowned battle for the treasure trove.

Then seize the opportunity firmly in your own hands!
As for that "future storm".
Xu Feng gazed into the distance, his eyes sharp.

Whatever it is, all he has to do is keep getting stronger.

Powerful enough to withstand any storm!

“Let’s go,” Xu Feng patted Xu Nian on the shoulder, “Let’s go back and practice. I feel like I’m about to reach the threshold of the ‘Thousand Mountains’ realm in the ‘Thousand Mountains’ sword technique.”

Xu Nian grinned as she looked at Xu Feng, who had suddenly become full of fighting spirit: "That's right! Forget about all the monsters and demons, just do it!"

The two exchanged a smile and strode into the bustling crowd at the base.
