High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 216 Instant Kill! Devouring Heaven! The Heavenly Vine in the Deep Space of the Universe!
Faced with the savage giant's threat full of primal violence, Qin Feng's eyes remained unmoved, and he didn't even pay much attention to him.

Instead, it was the blond, blue-eyed, and noble-looking martial artist who caught his eye for a moment.

Just then, the blond warrior withdrew his gaze from the barbarian and instead fixed his eyes on Qin Feng.

His azure eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized the man for a moment, a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face. He tentatively asked:

"You are...Crazy Qin Feng?!"

"Ah."

Qin Feng nodded subconsciously, acknowledging his identity.

But then, as if remembering something, he frowned slightly, shook his head, and corrected:
"Who said I'm crazy? I don't like that title."

Upon hearing this, the blond warrior's facial muscles twitched involuntarily, and the look of apprehension in his eyes deepened.

He took a half step back, creating a relatively safe distance between himself and Qin Feng and the barbarian, and said in a deep voice:
"A person's name is like a tree's shadow. There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames."

"Now that I've met you here, I'll pass on this opportunity."

He decisively stated his position, even bowing slightly to Qin Feng, adopting an extremely humble posture, "I voluntarily withdraw, please... spare me."

His actions left the barbarian Barto speechless.

However, Qin Feng's next reaction made the blond martial artist's heart sink to the bottom.

"Ha ha……"

Qin Feng let out a low, hearty laugh.

He gripped the "Star Devouring" spear, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground, and said, "Now that you're here, isn't it a bit too late to leave?"

"I want your points!"

"Damn, crazy!"

Upon hearing this, the blond warrior's expression changed drastically.

He no longer harbored any illusions; the instinct to survive overwhelmed everything.

Without hesitation, he turned around, his spiritual energy core operating at overload, and his entire body transformed into a streak of platinum light, frantically fleeing back the way he came!

He knew very well that as long as he could escape this area and get out of Qin Feng's terrifying mental pressure range, he could immediately activate subspace teleportation and easily run away.

"One minute! Just one minute is enough!"

He screamed inwardly, "That stupid barbarian can't possibly not even last a minute, can he?!"

Clinging to his last shred of hope, he glanced back instinctively during a brief moment of frantic escape.

That one glance sent shivers down his spine!

At the edge of their field of vision, the barbarian Barto, who had just been so arrogant and domineering, was now standing frozen in place.

A dark, long spear pierced through his chest, pinning his massive body firmly to the hard ice.

Fresh blood was gushing down the gun barrel, instantly frozen by the frigid air.

Beside the corpse, Qin Feng was drawing his spear.

Holding the still-dripping "Star Devourer" sword, he calmly looked at himself amidst the biting cold wind and rolling black clouds. Then, with a swift movement, he transformed into a soul-searching black shadow and rushed towards him!

"Damn—that's incredible strength! Several times stronger than the rumors suggest!"

The blond warrior was utterly terrified.

Instant kill!

That was the Mad Bone Barto, who could rival me, yet he couldn't even last a single move before being instantly killed!
As Qin Feng's figure rapidly grew larger in his field of vision, he roared with all his might:

"You madman! Don't kill me! I'm Nicol! Let me go, and I'll take you to a top-secret resource location that I know about!"

The resources there are of such high quality that I've been hiding them myself, and for now, I'm the only one who's discovered them!

"Oh?"

The pursuing figure suddenly stopped.

Qin Feng's spear tip came to a steady stop just a finger's width away from the blond warrior Nicol's brow.

A drop of warm blood fell from the tip of the gun and landed on Nicole's cold power armor faceplate with a soft "smack".

In this frigid world of rolling black clouds and howling snow, this faint sound was like a death knell.

Nickel felt the bone-chilling cold emanating from between his brows and said, "That...that's a killing technique stele! It records a very high-grade level seven killing technique!"

However, what he received was Qin Feng's cold and decisive reply.

"unnecessary."

The moment the words left his mouth, the gun shot out like a dragon!

Nicole felt a chill between her brows and then lost consciousness.

Qin Feng slowly sheathed his gun and glanced at Nicol's body, which had already turned into specks of light and dissipated.

He already possessed the "Heaven-Devouring Fist Technique," a top-tier level seven killing technique created by a King-level expert. Its quality far surpassed that of ordinary level seven killing techniques.

Moreover, fist techniques and spear techniques are inherently connected in the fundamental principles of martial arts, and he can also use the "Star-Devouring" spear to unleash the profound mysteries of the "Heaven-Devouring Fist Technique".

For him, the usual level 7 killing techniques are no longer of any use.

If the killing technique recorded on that stone tablet is truly comparable in quality to the "Devouring Heaven Fist Technique," then it means that comprehending and mastering it would inevitably require a massive amount of time, measured in centuries.

The reason why the small battle zone has set up the inheritance stone tablet is to ensure that the prodigies have top-notch fundamental killing techniques before the competition.

In this way, during the precious thousand years of the war zone, they could devote all their energy to seizing resources and honing their skills in actual combat.

If the quality is too low, it's like a useless chicken rib; if the quality is too high, it takes almost a tenth of the time to understand it, which is too low in cost-effectiveness.

This is precisely why Qin Feng acted without hesitation and swiftly killed Nicol after hearing that it was the "Killing Stone Tablet".

"Two people again."

He glanced at the jade pendant on the back of his hand; the information feed had already been refreshed.

You have successfully defeated two enemies, earning 2 base points.

[You have successfully plundered points from the enemy token: 32 points from 'Nikol' and 35 points from 'Mad Bone Barto']

Your current total points are: 82 points

Your current overall ranking has risen to: 2,103,445,987,654.

Your ranking in Galaxy Region 117 has risen to 19,876,543.

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Barto and Nicol are the opponents he has defeated so far in terms of points.

Although I had encountered some scattered opponents before, they all had very few points.

In fact, the biggest contributor to his ability to so easily defeat these two formidable experts was not his surging physical and mental strength, but the "Heaven-Devouring Fist Technique".

Judging solely from their physical strength and mental power, Qin Feng and these two are roughly on the same level.

But the quality of his killing techniques far surpasses theirs.

This is the fundamental reason for the overwhelming, instant-kill effect.

After all, the level 7 killing technique is not even as sophisticated as the first of the ninety-nine spiritual traces of the Devouring Heaven Fist Technique; the difference is simply too great.

After dealing with the enemy, Qin Feng's gaze returned to the ten-thousand-meter-thick ice beneath his feet.

"Hamer, help me find out the specific resource information for the subsurface ocean of this satellite. I'm about to break through the ice."

"Yes, Master."

Qin Feng said no more. He gripped the "Star Devouring" spear with both hands, and his spiritual energy core was running wildly, pouring terrifying power into the spear!
He suddenly thrust his spear downwards!
Rumbling--

A deafening roar, seemingly capable of shattering a planet, came from the depths of the earth!
Centered on the tip of the spear, the solid ice within a radius of dozens of miles collapsed and shattered instantly, as if glass had been hit by millions of tons of explosives!
Countless enormous blocks of ice shot into the sky, shattering into countless ice fragments beneath the dark purple dome.

A bottomless, enormous crater suddenly appeared on the ice field, revealing the eternally dark primordial ocean beneath it, its black waves churning.

"Master, the query has been completed."

Hammer's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"Based on energy spectrum and material composition analysis, all the liquid oceans on this planet are a rare and precious substance—'lightless water'. Direct consumption can nourish the soul and enhance spiritual power without limit."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

No wonder the resource points marked by the jade tablet this time are much larger than any we've encountered before.

It seems there's something truly amazing hidden here.

Leaving aside the incredible property of "lightless water" that can enhance mental power without limit, its sheer quantity is already considerable.

The entire liquid ocean of the satellite is composed of "lightless water," and the amount of it is so vast that it is impossible to count.

"In that case, I'll stay here and go into seclusion for a while longer."

Qin Feng made a decision.

He sat cross-legged on the edge of the newly opened ice cave, letting the dark clouds roll in and the snow fall.

Then, he activated his psionic core and opened his mouth.

An extremely terrifying suction force, seemingly capable of devouring stars, emanated from his mouth!

Rumbling--

The dark ocean below instantly surged with towering waves!
The endless "water without light" transformed into a black tornado connecting heaven and earth. Drawn by that terrifying suction force, it continuously flowed into Qin Feng's mouth and was instantly absorbed and refined by his terrifying physical body.

Planetary-level powerhouses are called "planetary-level" not only because they can physically traverse the vacuum of space, but also because their destructive power is enough to easily destroy a planet!
If a giant planet can be destroyed by a planetary-level powerhouse, then an ocean that is merely a small satellite is even more vulnerable.

Qin Feng, like a whale sucking in water, frantically devoured the entire ocean.

He could clearly feel that his mental strength was constantly improving and growing at an unprecedented, comfortable and efficient pace.
-
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

After he inhaled the last drop of "lightless water" and refined it into his own spiritual power, the once-ocean satellite beneath his feet had become a lifeless, dried-up ice ball.

He has swallowed up the entire planet's liquid ocean.

He even forcibly melted the ten-thousand-meter-thick ice layer with his planetary-level power, squeezing out the last bit of energy from the "lightless water" it contained.

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, waking up from a decade-long period of deep seclusion.

"The gains this time have been truly enormous."

He felt the earth-shattering changes in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face. "A full three hundred brand new spiritual power cups have been condensed!"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, beside the original four cups, three hundred brand-new, equally solid and heavy cups were quietly suspended, forming a small "forest of cups".

They resonated with each other, together carrying a vast amount of spiritual energy droplets, allowing his total spiritual energy and control precision to reach a whole new level.

"Now, I possess the spiritual power of 304 cups and saucers, which translates to 3 million standard drops of spiritual power. This is remarkable progress."

Qin Feng began to carefully review his progress over the years.

Twenty years have passed since the competition began.

In the first five years, he absorbed blood crystals, doubling the foundation of his physical body.

For the next five years, he traveled among the stars, searching and wandering, accumulating some scattered resources.

It took a full ten years to find this ocean satellite containing "lightless water".

Twenty years is but a fleeting moment in the long lifespan of a planetary-level powerhouse. But in this resource-rich training ground, it is enough for a person's strength to undergo a complete transformation.

"As Master said, after the 'cups and goblets' comes the 'lake.' It takes the spiritual power of ten thousand cups and goblets to condense into a lake of spiritual power."

"After the lake comes the 'river'. After the river comes the 'boundless sea'. Only with the spiritual power of the 'boundless sea' can one create the 'immortal projection' that represents the threshold of the star level in the subspace."

Qin Feng was filled with mixed emotions.

This path is far too long, and the resources required are far too vast.

To condense just three hundred cups would require consuming the entire ocean of "lightless water" on an entire satellite. So, what terrifying resources would be needed to condense ten thousand cups?

"No wonder, the geniuses of the entire human empire are fighting tooth and nail for this 'Cosmic Genius Battle' battlefield."

Where else in the universe can you find a place that provides such a massive amount of top-tier resources for free?
……

After a brief rest, Qin Feng's journey begins again.

He continued to teleport between one unfamiliar star system after another in the most efficient way, frantically searching for and plundering any resources that could make him stronger.

As he ventured deeper into this vast galaxy cluster and gradually approached the core of the galaxy, the shimmering points of light on the jade tablet became increasingly dense and brighter.

As a result, battles became increasingly frequent.

In the blink of an eye, eighty years have passed.

Over the past eighty years, Qin Feng has plundered countless rare resources.

His reputation as a madman spread wider and wider in the region of System 117, with each one a one-sided, crushing victory.

……

On a massive gas giant planet, beside its iconic, perpetually raging eye of storm, Qin Feng's figure hovered silently amidst the violent air currents.

Just recently, he had fought three formidable opponents here, personally killing them all.

The four of them discovered this opportunity hidden deep within the eye of the storm almost simultaneously.

In a fierce battle, Qin Feng emerged victorious.

Afterwards, Qin Feng destroyed the eye of the storm on the gas giant planet and retrieved a strange object called the "Storm Core," which was formed from pure wind element energy.

After spending several months refining and absorbing it, his mental strength once again experienced a tremendous increase.

"The competition has been going on for a full hundred years."

Qin Feng took stock of his progress over the past century.

"Over the past hundred years, I have acquired countless resources. Now, my spiritual power has reached the level of three thousand cups. It is not far from condensing into a 'lake'."

"As for the Devouring Heaven Fist Technique, it is still at the 'minor achievement' level. To break through to the 'major achievement' level, more practical experience and insights are needed, and it cannot be rushed."

"And the points have accumulated to more than 2300. The ranking is also extremely high."

He glanced at the jade plaque.

Name: Qin Feng

【Points: 2371】

Overall ranking: 1,054,321,789

[Ranking of Galaxy 117: 103,456]

The progress is remarkable.

"Not in a hurry."

Qin Feng remained calm. "The core of the competition is still to plunder resources and improve strength. Points are just a secondary factor."

He has a profound understanding of the competition rules.

"In the later stages of the competition, every surviving strong player will have a huge number of points. At that time, the points gained from killing an opponent will be thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than they are now. Trying to farm points now is too inefficient."

"If I'm strong enough, I can even reverse the rules. I can deliberately give up once to enter the 'hunting period' and directly obtain the coordinates of a high-ranking opponent. If I can successfully kill the number one ranked guy, I can directly inherit all his points and reach the top in one step."

"So, in the end, strength is king!"

Qin Feng had a very clear understanding of the situation.

In the last hundred years before the competition ends, there's still plenty of time to fight for points. He re-entered the aircraft, preparing to check the map and plan his next destination.

In fact, decades ago, he had already re-established contact with Huoyuan and Jinmu through the subspace network.

Among them, Kaneki was not so lucky and was assigned to another star system.

He and Huoyuan were lucky; they were both placed in star system 117.

However, in the early stages of the competition, he and Huoyuan had no intention of meeting.

After all, when two people are working together, figuring out how to allocate resources once they discover a location is a problem in itself.

Often, this can actually halve efficiency.

They simply agreed to develop their own strength, and if they encountered an insurmountable enemy, they could send each other coordinates for emergency support, trying to maintain their competitive state and avoid entering the extremely dangerous "hunting period".

However, at that moment, the communication channel on his personal terminal, which was dedicated to Huo Yuan, suddenly started flashing red with the highest priority!

"Qin Feng! Help immediately!"

Huo Yuan's rapid, slightly panting voice echoed directly in Qin Feng's mind.

"I've discovered a top-tier resource-producing area! The resources there are enough for any one of us to directly condense our spiritual energy into a 'lake'!"
As a result, I've been targeted by a group of guys who were lying in wait! They're a team, many of them, and one of them is in the hunting phase. I'm currently being chased! I've shared the exact coordinates with you!

Qin Feng's eyes sharpened instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened the coordinates shared by Huoyuan.

Firstly, because he and Huoyuan had made a prior agreement, which was a promise.

Secondly, Huo Yuan's words deeply attracted him—there were resources sufficient to condense spiritual energy into a "lake"!

When he saw the coordinates shared by Huo Yuan, he was stunned for a moment.

The coordinates were located on the edge of star system 117, in a desolate asteroid belt.

"I thought that the closer you get to the core of a galaxy, the more resources you'll find. I never imagined that such abundant resources would be hidden even in the outer edges."

Without a second thought, he immediately activated the subspace teleportation.

The spacecraft vanished instantly into the raging winds of the gas giant.

……

When Qin Feng opened his eyes again, having emerged from the subspace jump, the scene before him immediately allowed him to lock onto his target.

Deep space, deathly silent and cold.

In this vast and boundless asteroid belt, a fierce chase for life and death is unfolding.

At the forefront, a fiery red figure, making the most of the terrain, weaved and darted among countless floating asteroids, desperately trying to escape.

That was Huo Yuan. His once flamboyant, fiery red power armor was now riddled with damage, with many armor plates showing signs of charring and melting.

Behind him, two black figures, like maggots clinging to his bones, were relentlessly biting him.

They were dressed in uniform black power armor painted with eerie green serpent emblems, and their movements were ruthless and efficient, each strike a deadly blow.

Along their trail, some metal wreckage of spaceships floated, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place before Qin Feng arrived, and Huo Yuan's vehicle had been destroyed.

If it weren't for the complex terrain of this asteroid belt, which provided him with ample cover and room to maneuver, he would probably have been torn to shreds by the two well-coordinated martial artists behind him long ago.

However, just as Huo Yuan narrowly avoided another deadly psionic beam and was preparing to use a huge meteorite to change direction, a familiar and steady figure appeared without warning in the path in front of him.

The man wore a heavy and imposing set of black power armor, its style exuding a sense of iron-blooded power. He hovered silently in the void, holding a dark, ancient spear that seemed capable of swallowing light.

A powerful yet restrained tide of psionic energy rose and fell around him, like breathing.

"Qin Feng! You've arrived!"

The moment Huo Yuan saw who it was, his chubby face, hidden under his mask, was instantly filled with wild joy.

The frustration and despair of being hunted for days transformed into the excitement of surviving a disaster.

He immediately stopped fleeing, accelerated sharply, and came to a steady stop beside Qin Feng, panting heavily.

"Damn, I'm exhausted."

Huo Yuan said with lingering fear, "These guys are all warriors from the 'Venom Warband.' These two were chasing me, and there were three of their accomplices guarding the resource point ahead. The five of them got together not long after the start of the competition. In our Sector 117, they have a notorious nickname: 'Venom Five Rats.' They are despicable and shameless, and they specialize in ambushing and framing people like this."

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Just as Huo Yuan was quickly explaining, the two black-armored warriors who had been chasing him from behind arrived.

They flanked Qin Feng and Huo Yuan from the left and right, forming a pincer movement.

One of them looked Qin Feng up and down, scrutinizing his imposing power armor and extraordinary spear. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he asked in a hoarse voice, "Qin Feng? Are you that madman Qin Feng?"

"it's me."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, calmly acknowledging it.

"Hehe, I've long heard of the 'Madman's' reputation. Meeting him today, I can confirm his extraordinary demeanor."

Another black-armored warrior let out a cold laugh, but his eyes became more serious than ever before.

However, to Qin Feng and Huo Yuan's surprise, after confirming Qin Feng's identity, the two black-armored warriors not only did not back down, but instead exchanged a glance and their spiritual energy suddenly erupted!
Instead of fleeing, they chose to launch a preemptive attack!
With a flick of their wrists, dozens of poison-laden throwing knives, gleaming with an eerie green light, shot out like a swarm of bees, tearing through the air and blocking all of Qin Feng's escape routes from two completely different and tricky angles, launching a fierce attack!
"Instead of running away, you're attacking me?"

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng was not surprised at all; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Heh, you madman Qin Feng, if it were any other time, my brother and I would have fled a thousand miles away long ago upon hearing your name."

One of the martial artists wielding throwing knives also burst into wild laughter, his voice filled with a hint of madness and determination, "But now, things are different! My 'hunting period' only has a few months left! Today, if I don't kill both of you, I'll be completely eliminated!"

It turned out to be the case.

Qin Feng understood instantly.

These two guys were already outlaws in the "hunting phase."

For them, there is no turning back in this battle.

Either kill the enemy in front of you and regain your eligibility to participate;
Either they are killed by the enemy and completely eliminated.

On the edge of life and death, any prestige loses its deterrent effect.

"Swallow the sky!"

Faced with the overwhelming storm of poisonous blades, Qin Feng made his move.

He made no unnecessary movements, simply taking a step forward and thrusting out the "Star Devouring" spear in his hand.

It's still the same move, [Devouring Heaven]!
As the spear thrust out, the space in front of the spear tip seemed to collapse instantly, forming an invisible black hole capable of swallowing everything.

The moment those incredibly sharp throwing knives made contact with this area, they were like iron filings attracted by a magnet, uncontrollably changing their trajectory and being sucked into it. Then, they were crushed and pulverized by that terrifying devouring force, turning into the most primitive energy particles.

The combined attack of the two black-armored warriors, powerful enough to tear apart a starship, vanished without a trace, like light being absorbed by a black hole, without causing the slightest ripple.

Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying force suddenly erupted from the collapsed space!
boom! boom! boom!
Several meteorites in the vicinity, under the impact of this force, shattered instantly like eggs struck by a heavy hammer, turning into dust everywhere!

The two black-armored warriors, their power armor, their physical bodies, and their psionic cores were all completely annihilated by this destructive power.

"Damn it... that idiot fat guy... actually called for... such powerful reinforcements..."

One of the martial artists, in the last moment before his consciousness completely dissipated, mustered all his strength and let out a roar filled with resentment.

With their deaths, this chaotic asteroid belt finally returned to calm.

……

"Oh my God……"

Huo Yuan, standing to the side, stared in disbelief at everything before him. After a long while, he awkwardly scratched his head and exclaimed sincerely, "Qin Feng, the speed at which your strength has increased is terrifying. I remember that I also comprehended the ninety-first spiritual trace and could use the Devouring Heaven Fist, but compared to your move, it's simply... not even in the same league."

"The ninety-first to ninety-ninth moves are the most important parts of this boxing technique."

Qin Feng sheathed his spear, smiled, and explained, "As you probably know, just considering the information flow contained within, the ninety-first trace of spiritual power is equivalent to the sum of the previous ninety. Each subsequent trace is several times more profound than the previous one."

"Well, that's true."

Huo Yuan nodded in deep agreement, "With your strength so great, I can finally rest assured."

He pointed deep into the asteroid belt, his expression becoming excited: "That resource point is located at the very depths of this asteroid belt. There are several 'Sky-Reaching Vines' there! Those are planetary-level life forms! The fruit they bear can be directly refined and can greatly increase mental power!"

"There are also three Venom Legion warriors guarding that spot."

Huo Yuan's expression grew even more serious. "However, they probably can't hold out any longer. According to the communications I intercepted when I escaped, there's a steady stream of martial artists heading towards that coordinate. After all, a scanning range of one hundred light-years isn't small, but it's not huge either. Coupled with unlimited subspace teleportation, once the news spreads, it will quickly attract a large number of competitors."

"The news has spread?"

Qin Feng was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

"Ah."

Huo Yuan's face showed a hint of annoyance. "Go open the subspace network and see if there's a 'Great War Zone Private Channel' and a private channel for our '117 Galaxy'?"

Qin Feng did as instructed and indeed found the two private channels in his personal terminal.

"Some guys are just disgusting."

Huo Yuan said indignantly, "After they discover top-tier resource points, they feel that they can't get them or hold onto them with their own strength, so they simply post the coordinates directly to their private channels. If they can't get them, they won't let others have it either, stirring up trouble and getting more people to fight over them."

"I see."

Qin Feng understood.

Such self-defeating behavior is common in any competitive environment.

"We absolutely must get our hands on this."

Qin Feng's eyes became incredibly determined. "Once we miss the resources that will allow us to directly access the 'Lake Realm,' who knows when we'll get another chance?"

"That's right!"

Huo Yuan nodded emphatically, "Let's go, I'll lead the way!"

Without further hesitation, he immediately changed direction, transforming into a fiery red streak of light and speeding towards the depths of the asteroid belt.

Qin Feng followed closely behind, and the two quickly disappeared into the silent cosmic dust.
-
Guided by Huo Yuan, the two transformed into two streaks of light, rapidly traversing the intricate meteorite belt.

The deeper you go, the larger the floating meteorites become, some of which are even comparable to small planets.

Cosmic dust and nebulous matter converge here, forming a natural labyrinth filled with the unknown and dangers.

Soon, after they rounded a giant iron-core meteorite with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers, the view before them suddenly opened up.

A relatively empty, void-like area appeared before the two of them.

In the center of this area, a large number of martial artists had already gathered.

Qin Feng's gaze swept over the area, and his mind immediately became focused.

Looking around, at least a hundred planetary-level powerhouses of various shapes and sizes were floating in this void.

They either formed temporary alliances in small groups or occupied advantageous positions alone, maintaining a delicate and dangerous distance from one another.

Powerful yet obscure auras intertwined and collided in this space, forming an invisible net filled with the smell of gunpowder.

In the far distance of the void, ripples from warp teleportation still echoed intermittently.

Streaks of light were continuously flowing towards this place from all directions.

Clearly, news of the appearance of the "Sky-Piercing Vine" has spread far and wide, and this place has become a huge eye of the storm in Sector 117.

However, what truly shocked Qin Feng was not the scene of hundreds of top geniuses gathering together, but the cosmic spectacle located at the very center of this void that they were all gazing at.

Three vines.

The three vines, whose grandeur and magnificence defy description, seem to stretch directly to the ends of the universe.

They take root in the boundless void, as if drawing upon the most primal energy of the universe.

The main body of the vine has an ancient bronze color, and its diameter is even thicker than any interstellar warship Qin Feng has ever seen.

They meander and spiral, extending infinitely into the depths of the universe until they disappear from sight.

According to the scale markings on the jade plaque map, the lengths of these three vines are an astonishing one light-year each!

Such a colossal object, silently suspended in the universe, brings people an ultimate visual impact and spiritual shock that originates from the instinct of life.

At this moment, the surface of these three towering vines was shimmering with a dreamlike and magnificent purple halo.

The halo rose and fell like breathing, each flicker causing ripples in the surrounding space.

This is a sign that they will soon bear fruit.

"Babel Vine..."

Huo Yuan hovered beside Qin Feng, his tone filled with barely suppressed shock, "Although the data records that it is a planetary-level life form, its size is simply too enormous."

Ordinary planetary-level martial artists, let alone kill it, cannot even leave a decent wound on it.

Even a stellar-level powerhouse would find it difficult to kill. Its spiritual energy fluctuations were very weak, but its vitality was simply too abundant.

"How do high-level experts utilize it?"

Qin Feng asked.

“Strong individuals at the stellar level generally do not choose to fight the Heavenly Vine head-on.”

Huo Yuan explained, clearly well aware of these secrets, “They usually use a more time-consuming and laborious method called ‘toughening the vine.’ It involves using one’s own powerful mental strength to attack it day after day, year after year. If they can successfully subdue it, it’s equivalent to gaining an incredibly powerful ally. In battle, this freely contracting vine is itself a terrifying weapon capable of destroying the world.”

"This thing is quite rare, isn't it?"

Qin Feng's gaze never left the three giant vines.

"Yes, that's very rare."

Huo Yuan sighed, "In the Imperial official trading house, a finished Heavenly Vine costs 100B."

"100B..."

Qin Feng instantly grasped the concept.

He glanced at the "Star Devourer" spear in his hand.

This "Heavenly Evolution Weapon," custom-made for him by the Empire's highest artisan hall and capable of growth, is normally valued at 1000B.

1B represents one billion Imperial Contribution Points.

You can imagine how precious it is.

"This thing is only occasionally produced in the core area of ​​the 'Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races', and its distribution is extremely uneven, so it is very rare to see it."

Huo Yuan clicked his tongue and exclaimed sincerely, "'The Cosmic Genius Battle' is really generous. They actually brought out three plants and placed them here as an opportunity for us."

"The three towering vines will soon bear fruit."

Huo Yuan turned her gaze away from the martial artist in the distance, lowered her voice, and said to Qin Feng, "We don't need to do anything right now, just one word—wait."

"According to the information I found, three of these vines of this size can produce about thirty fruits, which are its seeds."

"A single fruit contains enough energy to cause a planetary-level expert's mental power to surge. A dozen or so would be enough to allow our mental power to leap from the 'Cup and Cup Realm' to the 'Lake Realm'!"

Huo Yuan's breathing became somewhat heavy.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's heart also burned with excitement.

Direct access to the "Lake Realm"!
This temptation is irresistible to any planetary-level martial artist.

He glanced at the hundreds of powerful figures eyeing him menacingly, then at the three giant vines about to bear fruit, and understood what was going on.

A bloody battle for these thirty-odd fruits is about to erupt.

Time flies by, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past ten days, a steady stream of martial artists have arrived here, and nearly ten thousand martial artists have gathered around the Tongtian Vine!
Among these more than 10,000 martial artists, some were in the hunting phase, wanting to kill people at resource points to regain their normal competition status, while others came purely for resources.
