High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 229 One Man Faces 800,000 Martial Artists! Qin Feng's Divine Might! Slaying Yu Haiyanhu, Hope for a Comeback!

In the void, Qin Feng's consciousness was immersed in the identity jade tablet.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of undisguised surprise flickered in his eyes.

"Huh? What's going on?"

His thoughts swept over the list of spoils recorded on the jade tablet, and two data streams that had just been stripped from the enemy were clearly presented in his mind.

One of the unusually large quantities of supplies puzzled him somewhat.

"How do these two people... have so many golden beast fragments?"

Qin Feng's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

Eighteen yuan.

Eighteen fragments of savage beasts, shimmering with brilliant golden light, lay quietly in the subspace storage unit.

Each piece contained extremely pure energy, exactly the same as the core area fragments he had risked his life to collect before.

He knew exactly what this meant.

The energy and value contained in the five golden beast fragments are enough to complete about 10% of the construction process.

Now, he has already scavenged eighteen pieces of gold from just these two guys he casually killed.

This wealth is enough to significantly increase the construction progress of his [Immortal Tower] by at least 30% to 40%.

"Could it be... that these two smuggled it out from the core area?"

A thought flashed through Qin Feng's mind like lightning.

He immediately recalled a detail from his time cultivating inside a star.

In the years following his seclusion, he clearly sensed a sudden and unnatural drop in the energy density of the savage beast fragments in the core area.

His first thought was that Caesar, in his patrol path, absorbed all the debris along the way, which led to the low energy density.

But now, Qin Feng has a new judgment.

Upon careful consideration, he realized that there was a clear logical flaw in this reasoning.

Caesar's power is unfathomable; his control over the chaotic force field inside a star far surpasses that of himself.

If Caesar had truly explored the area where I was in seclusion, given the other party's overwhelming perception, it would have been impossible for me to have remained hidden for decades.

However, if we look at it from another angle, and suppose that these two guys, whose strength is far inferior to Caesar's, secretly sneaked into the core area during their seclusion and took away a large number of beast fragments, then everything makes sense.

Although their strength is somewhat greater than before their rebirth, it is still limited. Their understanding and application of chaotic force fields are far inferior to Caesar's.

Therefore, it is entirely reasonable that they failed to discover their own deep seclusion in that complex environment.

"Turns out they're two traitors."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Qin Feng's mouth.

This discovery did not anger him; instead, it relieved him of a great weight.

"It seems that even someone as powerful as Caesar is not omnipotent. What he built was merely a temporary alliance bound by absolute force and shared interests."

Qin Feng thought to himself.

The warriors of Star System 99 gathered under Caesar's command for two reasons: firstly, they succumbed to his despairingly powerful strength, and secondly, there was profit to be made.

They were not truly convinced.

This makes sense, after all, those who can reach this point are all top geniuses in their respective war groups and civilizations.

Standing at the top of the pyramid, proud and arrogant, with innate integrity, how could they be so easily conquered by another person and willingly driven by him?
Caesar could use his power to temporarily bind them together, but he could not truly unify their will.

Once a sufficiently large incentive arises, or when Caesar's pressure eases even slightly, this fragile alliance will immediately crack from within.

"That's... a bit more acceptable."

Qin Feng slowly exhaled.

An invincible and united legion is terrifying, but a group filled with selfishness and betrayal is far less threatening.

Without a doubt, the 99th Galaxy Alliance built by Caesar was merely a group bound by interests, not a powerful warband that had been tempered by countless trials of blood and fire and possessed its own discipline and ideology.

His mind calmed down, and his attention shifted again, landing on the last item on the list of spoils.

It was a bronze compass with an ancient design and intricate patterns, emitting a faint spatial fluctuation.

The moment his thoughts touched the compass, lines of cold text, like a data stream, were projected directly onto his identity jade pendant, clearly imprinted into his consciousness.

[Racing Equipment: Rebirth Compass]

[Description: Automatically synthesizes after collecting two compass fragments.]

The Rebirth Compass allows users to locate and view the coordinates of all martial artists within the current trial star cluster who are of the same cultivation level as the holder and are currently in the 'Hunting Phase'.

[Mission: Hunt down twenty martial artists of the same realm who are in the 'hunting period'.]

Upon completion of the mission, the Rebirth Compass will automatically disappear, and the successful completer will receive a huge reward.

[Current progress: 18/20]

[Mission Reward: A share of cultivation resources worth 1B Imperial Contribution Points, sufficient for the completer's current cultivation level.]

Qin Feng read the text description word by word, his expression gradually shifting from calm to an uncontrollable smile.

1B contribution point!
This is an enormous sum of money that would drive any stellar-level martial artist crazy.

He carefully calculated it in his mind.

One billion contribution points, if all of them were converted into top-tier cultivation resources, would be enough to allow an ordinary Boundless Sea Warrior to forcibly increase the construction level of their [Undying Tower] to around 30%.

This is equivalent to the result of his decades of arduous training in the core area of ​​the Beast Graveyard star.

"A betting agreement..."

The image of the forced betting scheme initiated by Caesar and that swept across six star systems flashed through Qin Feng's mind.

The penalty for the bet is that all the warriors on the losing side will be burdened with a huge debt of 1B contribution points.

This debt, like a heavy mountain, weighs on the hearts of every survivor.

Even someone as strong as Qin Feng felt immense pressure when he saw this number.

"In any case, as long as this task is completed, the punishment for losing the bet will be completely evened out."

Qin Feng's eyes sharpened. "No matter what, with the beast fragments, this is a win-win situation. Even if we lose the betting token, we'll still make a profit."

His mood immediately improved.

"Hmm... Eighteen now. We just need two more spots to complete this task."

Qin Feng's gaze swept across the virtual star map interface of the compass, and his divine sense quickly sifted through the countless flashing points of light.

Soon, two names that he had deliberately marked stood out from the complex information, emitting a faint red glow.

Yu Hai.

Wild goose and tiger.

"It's decided that it's the two of you."

Qin Feng's tone was calm, but the killing intent contained within it was enough to freeze the surrounding void.

"Oh? They reacted pretty quickly. They probably received news of their companion's death and realized I was coming to kill them, so they're running away frantically now."

On the compass display, the two points of light did not remain in place, but moved at an extremely high speed on the star map, and their trajectory was towards a certain star-level resource production area, where there were a large number of warriors from the 99th star system.

A disdainful sneer appeared on Qin Feng's face.

Under the lock of the "Rebirth Compass," no matter where they flee to, they are nothing more than turtles in a jar.

This futile struggle only makes their deaths seem more ridiculous.

Moreover, in the 99th star system, apart from Caesar, no one is his match!
He glanced at their coordinates.

"First kill Yu Hai, then kill Yan Hu!"

The moment he made the decision, Qin Feng no longer hesitated in the slightest.

Warp teleportation!
hum-

A soft spatial buzzing sound rang out.

Qin Feng's figure completely disappeared from this empty planet via the subspace teleportation network.
-
In the vast emptiness of the universe, a majestic ancient tree, immeasurable by any known standard, stands silently.

It is one of the most renowned stellar-level resource sites in this galaxy cluster—the Bodhi Tree.

The existence of this ancient tree transcends the realm of common sense.

Its roots penetrate deep into the boundless darkness, as if drawing upon the primordial power of the entire universe.

The trunk is thick enough to anchor several galaxies side by side, and it is covered with ancient and mysterious patterns, each pattern resembling a long, unstoppable river of laws, profound and unfathomable.

And the tree canopy that blocks out the sky forms a real "starry sky".

Countless stars are captured by its branches, like ripe fruits hanging among the lush foliage, radiating light that is either fiery or gentle.

On a seemingly inconspicuous treetop hangs a blazing star, surrounded by seven or eight planets of varying sizes, slowly revolving around it, forming a miniature yet real star system.

The height of the ancient tree has long exceeded the unit of measurement of light-years, making it an eternal and magnificent landscape in this universe.

In the middle section of the thick trunk of the ancient Bodhi tree, a vast and boundless platform was carved out by a powerful martial artist with supreme strength.

On the platform, more than 800,000 martial artists were sitting cross-legged. Their auras were connected, their mental will was highly concentrated, and they were all bathed in the mysterious Daoist charm emanating from the ancient tree, comprehending their own killing techniques.

This place was once the core territory of the 118th star system, but after the "betting order" was issued, it was swiftly and decisively captured by the 99th star system alliance led by Caesar.

Today, this place has become the base camp for the warriors of the 99th Star System.

These proud and ambitious geniuses, after experiencing brutal battles, will all return here by chance. With the help of the Bodhi Tree's miraculous effect of temporarily enhancing their comprehension, they will review the gains and losses of the battles, deduce their techniques and killing moves, and integrate their combat experience into their own strength.

The entire platform plaza was filled with a strong atmosphere of seeking the Tao, quiet and solemn.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two streaks of light pierced the void, precisely completing the teleportation at the edge of the platform.

As the light faded, the slightly disheveled figures of Yu Hai and Yan Hu were revealed.

Looking at the sea of ​​people and the overwhelming number of powerful figures before them, the two men's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

In this square, there are as many as seven or eight hundred thousand comrades from the 99th star system, and the number of martial artists coming and going is endless.

Such a massive force gathered here is enough to give anyone a strong sense of security.

"hurry up!"

Yu Hai lowered his voice, his tone urgent and leaving no room for argument, "That madman got the complete 'Rebirth Compass,' his target is definitely us! We must spend all our contribution points immediately and exchange them all for life-saving equipment and items!"

"Oh shit!"

Yan Hu cursed fiercely, "Where is Lord Caesar? Where did he go?! That monster Qin Feng is about to arrive! Once we're eliminated by him, we'll say goodbye to all the endless resources here!"

Being eliminated means losing the battle zone, a place full of opportunities to become stronger.

That would leave them far behind their peers in martial arts. The two of them had personally eliminated eighteen people, so they naturally understood better than anyone how great a loss it was to be eliminated!

Upon hearing this, a martial artist who was meditating nearby opened his eyes and replied in a deep voice, "Boss Caesar is attempting to break through the final barrier."

It is rumored that he is already searching for the final core resource for advancing to the Stellar level. He is only 20% away from completing the forging of the [Undying Holy Feather] and stepping into the Stellar level.

"Hey……"

Yu Hai sighed heavily.

With Caesar gone, their last shred of confidence vanished.

He dared not undermine morale in public, so he quickly used his mental power to transmit a message to Yan Hu: "It's alright, don't panic. There are over 800,000 of our men here. No matter how arrogant Qin Feng is, he can't possibly know Caesar's exact movements."

Even if he had the guts, he probably wouldn't dare to storm our headquarters and make a move!

"Yeah, that's right."

Yan Hu verbally agreed, feeling slightly relieved, but his hands continued their work without stopping.

He immediately opened the virtual interface of the Imperial Trading Post and, like a gambler who had lost everything, frantically exchanged all his savings for all sorts of knowledge-based artifacts—one-time high-power attack scrolls, anchor points that could temporarily stabilize spatial force fields, amulets that could withstand mental shocks… He bought anything that could save his life without hesitation.

However, just when they thought they were temporarily safe and could catch their breath, an extremely subtle yet incredibly clear spatial ripple suddenly spread out in the air above the center of the platform without warning.

hum-

Everyone froze at that moment.

It was as if an invisible hand had torn open a rift in the void, and a figure dressed in pure black streamlined power armor and holding a jet-black spear slowly stepped out from it.

The moment he appeared, an indescribable, tangible, terrifying spiritual force burst forth like a flood, traversing vast distances and transforming into two invisible shackles that firmly locked onto Yan Hu and Yu Hai, who had just relaxed!

At the same time, behind that figure, a towering, four-hundred-story, silver-white pagoda phantom broke through the boundary between reality and illusion and suddenly appeared!
On the ancient tower, countless runes flowed endlessly like living things, exuding an aura of immortality and eternity.

Its mere presence made the surrounding space incredibly viscous, as if it had turned into a deep-sea swamp.

An overwhelming, terrifying will that had dominated for millennia enveloped the entire platform plaza with the arrival of the ancient tower.

All the geniuses present, regardless of their strength, felt a tremor from the depths of their souls at that moment!
"Qin Feng?!"

"It's Qin Feng! He actually dared to come!"

"Four hundred floors... 40% completion! What terrifying power!!"

"Qin Feng, how dare you venture alone into the resource point of my 99th star system?! You are far too arrogant!"

Exclamations and shouts rose and fell, completely shattering the originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere of cultivation.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
In an instant, more than ten powerful figures in the crowd suddenly stood up.

Their completion rates have all reached over 10%!

The leader among them has reached 20%, and his strength is comparable to that of Yu Hai and Yan Hu.

Their gazes were like lightning, fixed on Qin Feng who was suspended in mid-air, their powerful auras locking onto him from afar, and a great battle seemed imminent.

"..."

Qin Feng's gaze didn't linger on these people for even a moment, remaining fixed on his target. His voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion, "I will only kill Yu Hai and Yan Hu. Don't come looking for death."

His calm tone, however, contained an undeniable domineering air.

"What a loud tone!"

"Brothers, he's completely disregarding our 800,000 men!"

"Let's attack together! Let him know how powerful the 99th Galaxy is!"

Qin Feng's arrogance ignited the fury of all the geniuses present.

They are all outstanding individuals; how could they have ever been treated with such contempt?
In an instant, the spiritual will of 800,000 warriors began to condense under an invisible tacit understanding, transforming into a monstrous spiritual tsunami that crashed down on the lone figure in the sky, attempting to contend with his terrifying ancient tower will.

The entire Bodhi Tree platform hummed due to this immense force of will.

However, just as everyone's attention was drawn to Qin Feng and they were indignantly preparing to stand up for their companion, Yu Hai and Yan Hu, who were at the center of the incident, did something that no one expected.

They turned and ran!

Without the slightest hesitation, the two fled frantically in completely opposite directions, like startled birds.

"Warspace teleportation has failed!"

"It's a mental field stabilization device!"

As Yu Hai ran wildly, he roared and took out a metal disc emitting a strange fluctuation from his storage space, which he then activated abruptly.

An invisible force field instantly spread out from him, frantically resisting the mental suppression from Qin Feng, attempting to forcibly open a stable force field capable of subspace teleportation within the completely sealed space.

On the other side, Yan Hu was not slow at all.

He tossed the various knowledge artifacts he had just exchanged from the Imperial Trading Post behind him as if they were free, trying to block Qin Feng even for a moment.

At the same time, a similar force field stabilizing device appeared in his hand, which he used to stabilize the mental and spiritual energy field around him.

They had their plans very clearly laid out.

Qin Feng had already killed them once; the "hunting period" was over.

As long as they can successfully teleport away even once, even if it's only a few light-years away, the "Rebirth Compass" will lose its precise location of them.

By then, for Qin Feng to find them again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!

but……

"Humph!"

A cold snort, imbued with boundless majesty, emanated from Qin Feng's mouth.

In an instant, the four-hundred-story silver-white ancient tower emitted an immeasurable silver light that was impossible to look directly at.

The light, like mercury spilling onto the ground, penetrated everywhere, sweeping across the entire platform plaza in an instant.

puff!
All 800,000 prodigies present, regardless of their strength, groaned in unison under this terrifying mental impact. They felt as if their souls had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, their blood surging, and more than half of them coughed up blood, their faces turning deathly pale instantly.

The immense will that had just been gathered, attempting to contend with Qin Feng, instantly melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun, crumbling under this silver light!
"If I can't deal with Caesar, can't I at least deal with you?" Qin Feng sneered.

Before he could finish speaking, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

This is not spatial teleportation; there is no trace of any spatial fluctuation.

His speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of the visual and mental capabilities of everyone present!
In the next instant, Qin Feng's figure appeared like a ghost beside Yu Hai, who was running for his life.

Almost at the same moment, the mental energy field stabilizing device in Yu Hai's hand, which was frantically operating, made a crisp "crack" sound. Its surface was covered with cracks, and then it was directly shattered into a pile of useless parts under Qin Feng's crushing mental energy field!

Yu Hai's pupils contracted to their maximum size at that moment.

Before he could react, a jet-black spear had silently pierced through his psionic protective shield and his prized armor, penetrating precisely into his back and protruding from his chest.

puff!

Yu Hai's body jolted violently.

Immediately, the terrifying force contained within the gun exploded, and his body instantly burst into a cloud of blood mist, dying on the spot!

Upon witnessing this scene, Yan Hu, who was fleeing in another direction, felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and his soul nearly left his body!
He frantically activated his knowledge creations, watching as the spatial force field around him was about to stabilize.

Just one second!
No, only 0.5 seconds!

If he had just 0.5 seconds more, he could activate the subspace teleportation and escape completely from the demon god's presence!

However, at this moment, time became the most luxurious thing for him.

The next instant, he felt his body lighten, and looking down, he saw that a blood-stained spear tip had pierced his heart.

The spear, which had just drunk the blood of its comrades, had appeared behind him without him even noticing.

Yan Hu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the terrifying strangulation force had already surged into his limbs and bones along the gun, instantly shattering all his vitality and hope into the most primitive particles.

Bang!
Another dazzling cloud of blood mist bloomed in the void.

[Mission: Hunt down twenty martial artists of the same cultivation level who are in the 'hunting phase'.]

[Current progress: 20/20]

【mission completed】

[Reward issued: A share of cultivation resources, worth 1B Imperial Contribution Points and sufficient for your current cultivation level, has been automatically sent to your subspace storage unit. Please check your account.]

With Yan Hu's death, the bronze compass that had been floating in the air transformed into specks of light and slowly dissipated.

At the same time, the identity jade token emitted a gentle vibration, and the message indicating that the mission was completed appeared clearly.

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

1B contribution value resource obtained!

Adding the eighteen golden beast fragments he had seized from those two, along with the resources he had accumulated, this enormous wealth was enough to support him in completing a long period of deep seclusion, finishing the construction of his [Undying Tower], and breaking through to the Stellar level in one fell swoop!
"Caesar..."

Involuntarily, the image of that powerful, god-like figure, so terrifying as to inspire despair, surfaced in Qin Feng's mind.

"If I'm fast enough, I might be able to get ahead of him and break through first!"

Once this thought arises, it spreads like wildfire and can no longer be contained.

The only shortcut to rapidly improve one's strength and break through to a higher realm in a short period of time is to cultivate the supreme cultivation method of the Limitless Battle Group—"Ten Perfect Hands"—to the entry level!
Once he gets the hang of it, his cultivation efficiency will experience an explosive increase!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's gaze instantly became incredibly fervent.

He suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the crowd, over the platform, and fixed intently on the majestic ancient tree rooted in the boundless starry sky.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree is a stellar-level life form that can enhance a martial artist's comprehension!

Isn't this the perfect place to unravel the mysteries of the "Ten Perfect Techniques" and quickly advance it to the beginner level?!

Qin Feng had already made up his mind.

Just then, a roar filled with suppressed rage erupted from the crowd below.

"Qin Feng! You slaughtered our comrades in front of 800,000 of us! You are far too arrogant!"

Faced with the angry question from the martial artist below, Qin Feng, who was suspended in the void, showed no sign of seriousness on his face. Instead, he burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha--"

"so what?"

Amplified by his mental power, the laughter, like rolling thunder, clearly reached the ears of the 800,000 prodigies present, filled with undisguised domineering arrogance.

He slowly suppressed his smile, his gaze sweeping calmly over the faces below, contorted with anger, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"I will seek enlightenment here; you should all leave immediately."

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire plaza.

"Qin Feng! How dare you utter such arrogant words!"

"Kill him! Avenge our fallen brothers!"

"Do you really think we 800,000 people are made of clay?!"

"Set up the formation!"

Endless rage completely consumed reason.

These geniuses who have stood out from billions of living beings and reached the stage of the Cosmic Genius Battle, which one of them is not proud and arrogant?

When have they ever suffered such blatant humiliation?

boom! boom! boom!
In an instant, eight hundred thousand figures erupted simultaneously, like a group of volcanoes that had been ignited!

They soared into the air, their power enough to make the stars tremble!
Energy beams, fist imprints, blade light, sword energy... countless killing techniques converged into a torrent powerful enough to destroy a galaxy, surging wildly from all directions towards the lone figure in the center!

However, Qin Feng's eyes remained calm and composed in the face of this devastating attack.

He is in a hurry.

Qin Feng didn't have time to waste with these guys.

Caesar could make his final breakthrough at any moment; time is running out for him.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me."

Qin Feng muttered to himself, no longer showing any mercy.

He went all out!

Om-!
At this moment, the towering, four-hundred-story, silver-white ancient pagoda solidified completely!
Endless runes lit up from the tower, bursting forth with a silver divine radiance billions of times more dazzling than the stars.

An indescribable, terrifying spiritual will that spanned the universe and suppressed all ages erupted from Qin Feng's center!
Space, before this will, is as fragile as a sheet of paper, instantly crushed, twisted, and solidified layer by layer!

The tens of thousands of warriors who rushed to the front hadn't even had time to get close to Qin Feng's range of tens of thousands of miles before their protective energy shields were instantly covered with cracks under the crushing impact of this mental force, and then exploded with a bang!

puff!puff!puff!
One after another, powerful prodigies didn't even have time to utter a scream before their bodies disintegrated in mid-air, turning into clouds of dazzling blood mist, their souls and spirits annihilated!

This is just the beginning.

At the same time as releasing his mental energy field, Qin Feng, wielding the Star Devouring Spear, pushed the King-Sealing Inheritance Killing Technique to its limit!
Killer move: Devour the Heavens!

"Devouring the Heavens".

A tiny, almost invisible black singularity quietly emerged.

The next moment, this singularity began to expand wildly!
It seemed to transform into a miniature black hole, unleashing an irresistible and terrifying gravitational pull.

Light was swallowed, energy was swallowed, laws were distorted, and even the vast platform plaza made of special materials groaned under the weight of this gravity, then began to shatter from the center, being pulled and swept into that absolute darkness!
The torrent of attacks formed by the convergence of 800,000 martial artists was like a stream flowing into the ocean before this "black hole," swallowed up without causing the slightest ripple.

Next came the martial artists themselves.

"Do not--!"

"help me!!"

A desperate scream echoed through the starry sky, but it was all in vain.

No matter who it is, no matter what kind of escape technique they use, they cannot escape the range of that darkness.

Their bodies were stretched and twisted by an irresistible force, eventually transforming into the purest stream of energy particles, which were then completely swallowed by the ever-growing "black hole".

The whole process is extremely fast.

Thirty seconds passed in a short time.

As the "black hole" that had swallowed everything slowly dissipated, this once bustling deep space of the universe became deathly silent.

The once vast platform plaza has vanished, leaving only the majestic ancient Bodhi tree, which still floats silently in the void, radiating an eternal and serene glow.

Around the ancient tree, where the platform originally stood, countless fragments of power armor and weapon debris, resembling space junk, now floated, along with a faint, lingering scent of blood.

Eight hundred thousand of the most talented and powerful individuals in the 99th Star System were all killed by Qin Feng alone in thirty seconds!

At the same time, the notification sound from Qin Feng's identity jade tablet rang out wildly in his sea of ​​consciousness like a storm.

[You have slain the martial artist "Falling Rain" and obtained the following resources: 300 tons of Stardust Sand, 1 unit of Boundless Gold...]

[You have slain the martial artist "Wuwei" and obtained the following resource: Nine-Turn Soul Grass x1...]

【…】

You have earned 1203 points.

You have earned 823 points.

【…】

The information feed scrolled for several minutes before slowly stopping, and the final data summary was clearly presented before his eyes.

Your total points: 1,273,541

[Current ranking in the major battle zone: 498th]

[Current ranking of galaxy clusters (115-119): 1st]

A massacre caused his ranking to skyrocket, jumping from tens of thousands of places to the top 500 in the entire war zone!

More importantly, each of these 800,000 prodigies is a walking treasure trove, and the massive resources they possess that have not yet been consumed or used have now become Qin Feng's spoils of war.

In a short time, Qin Feng's subspace storage unit accumulated a terrifying amount of resources.

These resources are not only enough for him to break through to the star level, but there will still be a large surplus even after he breaks through!

"Everyone's doing 'hunting season' missions now, so no one should bother me for the time being."

Qin Feng calmly surveyed the empty surroundings and made a judgment in his mind.

Without further hesitation, he moved and came to the base of a thick branch of the ancient Bodhi tree, where he slowly sat cross-legged in the depths of space.

The illusory image of the four-hundred-story silver-white tower behind him floated silently.

At the same time, he unleashed his immense spiritual power, creating an absolute domain that covered an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles.

Within this domain, any unauthorized entity that dares to trespass will be crushed into dust by the omnipresent spiritual power.

After doing all this, Qin Feng slowly closed his eyes.

Bathed in the gentle, wisdom-enhancing light emanating from the ancient Bodhi tree, his mind sank completely into the depths of his consciousness, beginning to quietly comprehend the profound and mysterious "Ten Perfect Hands".

……

Meanwhile, the outside world was already abuzz with excitement because of Qin Feng's earth-shattering battle.

Especially in the countless competition organizations scattered throughout the human empire, as well as in the official live broadcast rooms, countless viewers witnessed this "miraculous" massacre from a god's-eye view, and the entire barrage of comments was completely boiling.

"One person slayed 800,000 people at the River Realm, including more than 100 at the Boundless Sea Realm?!"

"Qin Feng's strength is terrifying."

"It's not a question of whether it's scary or not, it's that this guy is too arrogant. This is equivalent to making an enemy of the 99th star system."

"They were already mortal enemies, and once the betting order was issued, the hatred between them could not be erased at all."

"Caesar is almost there with the last resources, so the outcome of the bet is really hard to say."

"Yes, Caesar was a sure winner, but then Yan Hu and Yu Hai, those two terrible teammates, gave Qin Feng a huge loss."

"Hahahaha—I'm dying of laughter. Apart from us viewers, nobody knows about the huge gift Yan Hu and Yu Hai gave Qin Feng. These two guys are now eliminated."

"Yeah, if things really turn around, even Caesar would be stunned. What a terrible teammate."

"Stealing resources from their own boss and then giving resources to their rivals, tsk tsk, Yu Hai and Yan Hu are truly extraordinary."

……

Qimingxing, Qiming First Martial Arts High School.

In an elegant meditation room, Master Lin Yue sat alone on a futon.

A huge light screen floated in front of her, and she was doing her daily cultivation while watching the live broadcast of the competition.

On the screen, the image frozen was Qin Feng sitting cross-legged under the ancient Bodhi tree, with a divine tower behind him and the surrounding starry sky filled with debris.

"This little guy is getting more and more arrogant..."

A faint, contented smile touched Lin Yue's lips, her eyes filled with a wistful reminiscence.

"However, he is also increasingly showing the aura of a true strongman."

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. He has grown from that boy into a powerful figure who is renowned throughout the starry sea."

She sighed softly.

At this moment, from the giant billboards on skyscrapers in the core urban area to the holographic posters on the streets, the entire city of Qiming is filled with broadcasts and promotions about this greatest genius in the history of Qiming.

……

Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University, Iron Fist Tavern.

Countless Wuhan University students cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating this exhilarating moment.

"Senior Qin Feng! He's so domineering! He's practically my idol!"

"Is this the legendary senior from our Fearless Battle Group? He's a legion in himself!"

"Of course! You didn't experience that era."

Back then, our Fearless Battle Team was almost dethroned from the top spot. It was Senior Qin Feng who emerged out of nowhere and single-handedly completed that impossible, nightmarish mission, turning the tide and securing first place!

To this day, our Fearless Battle Team has held the number one spot in the school's battle team rankings for a full millennium!

Wow—senior is awesome!

……

The Fire Dragon Legion, on a certain exclusive resource planet.

Yanwu sat quietly on the mountaintop, watching the live broadcast screen in front of him.

When he saw Qin Feng disregard the 800,000-strong army and swiftly kill Yu Hai and Yan Hu, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and a hot tear slid down his cheek, only to be instantly evaporated by the energy on his body.

"Qin Feng... I owe you a favor!"

Yanwu's voice was hoarse, yet filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

He was betrayed by Yu Hai and Yan Hu, losing his qualification to continue the competition and being completely eliminated.

For him, this meant missing out on a tremendous opportunity that could have changed his destiny! The resources within the war zone were incredibly abundant, and they were all unclaimed. As long as one had the strength to seize them, one could grow rapidly.

But he was eliminated.

After being eliminated, Yanwu was filled with despair and resentment, and could only watch helplessly as his enemy continued to collect resources and grow stronger in the arena.

Until today, until Qin Feng appeared.

He first killed the two men once, and then, during their "hunting season," in front of 800,000 people, he completely eliminated them!

"All the opportunities we seized in the past were truly based on our own abilities. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly and have nothing to resent."

Yanwu muttered to himself.

"Qin Feng, I hope you... can successfully win that bet."

Just then, a steady voice came from behind him.

"Let's go, Yanwu, it's time to rejoin the team. The battle group has issued new orders, and we're heading to the front lines of the Battle of Ten Thousand Races."

"immediately."

Yan Wu took a deep breath, suppressed all his surging emotions, and stood up.
