High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 241 A Hundred-Story Golden Tower! Qin Feng Emerges from Seclusion! The Number One Warrior in the Great War Zone! Leading by a Wide Margin!

For the current competition format, the shortest route is the longest detour.

Therefore, after Qin Feng finished his seclusion, he threw himself back into the battle to kill the mechanical race.

In the cold depths of space, a planet that has been completely metallicized is slowly disintegrating.

Its core has long been hollowed out, and on the surface, billions of mechanical remnants float like dust, forming a gray and desolate star ring.

In the center of this death and silence, Qin Feng's figure slowly emerged.

His aura was calm and steady, his gaze fixed on the last clump of liquid metal writhing unwillingly before him.

Within that metal, a faint flame of soul flickered, the very source of all mechanical creations in this galaxy—the stellar-class mechanical race.

"ended."

Qin Feng uttered three words, and his words became law.

He raised his palm, and in the center of his palm, a magnificent and towering phantom of a vast mountain range materialized.

It was not a simple energy body, but rather a mixture of mental and spiritual energy fields, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed all ages.

[Cangmang Mountains].

After thirty years of arduous training and conquest, this level eight killing technique had already reached its peak in his hands, and was only one step away from perfection.

boom!
The illusory mountain fell with a crash, without a deafening explosion, only an annihilation like being swallowed by a black hole.

The liquid metal, along with the soul fire within it, instantly transformed into the most basic particle stream and completely dissipated into the universe.

A fist-sized, multifaceted crystal, its interior seemingly containing a dazzling nebula, floated silently in place.

【Core of the Machine Soul】.

Qin Feng reached out and took it into his pocket.

This is the thirty-fourth stellar-class machine he has hunted down in the past year.

With a slight thought, he swept his gaze across the now-empty galaxy.

It took him four whole days from arriving here to destroying all the mechanical creations, exhausting all their spare bodies, and finally killing them completely.

This kind of hunting is tedious and tedious.

The combat style of the machine race is extremely difficult to deal with.

To completely destroy them, their vast army of mechanical creations, spanning several star systems, must be utterly destroyed.

This is a massive undertaking that requires extreme patience.

Qin Feng did not feel impatient.

Each cleanup operation removes an obstacle for the Six Star Alliance.

Each hunt also means the acquisition of a precious [Machine Soul Core] and several star-level resource points.

This is for the alliance, and also for myself.

……

There is no time in the universe.

Qin Feng's figure traversed one galaxy after another that had been invaded by the mechanical race.

In the 467 galaxy, he faced a "Forger" who transformed an entire star into a war fortress.

With the unparalleled power of the [Vast Mountains], Qin Feng completely annihilated the Stellar Fortress.

Time passes slowly.

On Qin Feng's personal terminal, the counter icon representing the [Machine Soul Core] jumped from thirty-four to fifty, then to eighty...

one year later.

After Qin Feng completely wiped out the last powerful mechanical race that had been entrenched in Galaxy 458, the number of Machine Soul Cores in his hands had once again accumulated to a full one hundred.

In addition, he also took away all 372 stellar-level resource points attached to these 100 star systems.

If all these resources were used for seclusion, it would be enough for him to advance the golden part of the [Undying Tower] by more than one level.

However, Qin Feng did not rush into seclusion.

The time has not come yet.

At that moment, Qin Feng sensed that the core area surrounding the golden throne in the subspace, where Caesar's immortal holy feathers had unfurled, successfully reaching a scale of tens of millions of light-years.

Those sacred feathers contained an ultimate sense of pride and holiness; billions of wings unfolded simultaneously, obscuring the light of the universe.

Qin Feng looked up and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Caesar, we've emerged from seclusion."

……

In the void beyond the planet Library, two figures stood facing each other.

Qin Feng's aura was as restrained as an abyss, while Caesar's aura was as flamboyant as the blazing sun.

Behind him, a phantom of sacred wings composed of billions of light feathers appeared and disappeared, which was his immortal projection - [Immortal Sacred Feathers].

"Tens of millions of light-years away, you've succeeded."

Qin Feng nodded.

"It's finally done."

Caesar's golden eyes gleamed with delight. "The first step of the 'Foundation of the Eternal Singularity' has been achieved. From now on, we will advance to the Black Hole level and become one of the best among Black Holes."

"Next, it's time to speed things up."

Caesar's words were concise and to the point.

"Right on my mind."

Qin Feng nodded.

Without many words, their long-standing tacit understanding allowed them to instantly grasp each other's plans.

The next moment, the two transformed into two streaks of light and flew off in completely different directions.

Qin Feng was in charge of galaxies 450 to 475, while Caesar was in charge of galaxies 476 to 500.

They will act swiftly and decisively, splitting up to wipe out all the powerful stellar-level mechanical races within the alliance's territory!
A hunt that will sweep across fifty star systems has begun.

……

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Feng and Caesar, like two invincible divine swords, plowed through galaxies with astonishing efficiency.

They fought thousands of intense battles with almost no rest.

At this moment, Qin Feng was standing under a silent starry sky.

Floating in front of him were countless [Machine Soul Cores], numbering an astonishing 5,300!

In addition, there are more than 5,000 star-level resource points producing massive amounts of resources.

Thirty years of conquest had made his murderous aura even more refined, almost tangible.

The biggest gain, however, is not these resources.

He slowly raised his hand, and the phantom of the [vast and desolate mountain] reappeared in his palm.

But this time, it's completely different from before.

Above the mountain, there seemed to be a hint of "meaning".

A profound, vast, and timeless essence of martial arts flows within it.

It is as if it were a real, ancient sacred mountain that has existed since the beginning of the universe.

Once the eighth-level killing technique is perfected, one can transform spiritual power into endless martial arts essence, multiplying its lethality and destructive power!

In reality, the true essence of martial arts is a spiritual energy field, which combines spiritual energy in a complex and intricate way to create an extremely powerful force field.

Therefore, it is called "meaning".

The subsequent galaxy-level level nine killing technique takes this force field to its extreme, forming a domain that interferes with reality.

"The eighth-level killing technique, 'Vast Mountains,' has finally been perfected."

A look of satisfaction appeared in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Thirty years of fighting and thirty years of accumulation are enough."

He glanced at Caesar beside him, who had also reaped considerable rewards, and said in a deep voice, "Next, we need to thoroughly digest and absorb these resources and hone our mental strength. After that, we can compete for those star system-level resource points."

Caesar nodded, his golden eyes burning with the same intensity: "I share the same thought. The obstacles to the alliance have been largely cleared; the rest is up to them."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The next moment, Qin Feng's figure disappeared from the spot and entered their own secluded training ground.

A long and crucial period of seclusion has officially begun.

……

The river of time flows ceaselessly.

Inside the secluded cultivation space, Qin Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by an energy galaxy formed from more than five thousand [Machine Soul Cores] and a massive amount of resources.

He focused his mind and spirit, and activated the supreme cultivation method, "Ten Perfect Hands".

In an instant, it was as if ten invisible divine hands were operating within his body simultaneously.

One hand guided the mighty torrent of energy, another purified and compressed it, and yet another precisely infused it into the base of the [Undying Tower]. The other seven hands, in an incomparably profound rhythm, assisted in tempering his spiritual power.

Each hand of spiritual power is formed from runes and imprints created by hundreds of thousands of spiritual energies.

The efficiency is hundreds or thousands of times that of an ordinary martial artist in seclusion!
At the base of the Immortal Tower, the golden area, which was originally only ten thousand light-years high, began to spread upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The second floor, the third floor... the tenth floor...

The original silver-white tower body is being dyed layer by layer with a brilliant gold that represents a high degree of spiritual power.

This process, though tedious, is filled with the ultimate pleasure of growing strength.

Time in the outside world slips away quietly.

Thirty years have passed once again.

The year was 862.

On the planet Ice Cave.

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

boom!
Two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes, piercing through space and extending for light-years before slowly dissipating.

He stood up, feeling the unprecedented power within his body, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

He brought up his personal panel.

【The Perfect Hand (Minor Completion)】

[Proficiency: 100/1000]

【The Vast Mountains (Complete)】

The Immortal Tower: Height: Ten million light-years (one million light-years have turned to gold).
"One hundred layers... a full million light-years!"

Qin Feng clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power that seemed capable of crushing stars.

The enhancement of pure golden spiritual power was also reflected in his physical body during his cultivation, making Qin Feng's physical body even stronger.

"The 'Ten Perfect Hands' technique is incredibly fast at accelerating cultivation, especially in terms of refining mental strength; the improvement is truly enormous!"

He was filled with emotion.

Without this heaven-defying cultivation method, it would have been impossible for him to forge the hundred-story tower into gold through hard work alone, without several hundred years of dedicated practice.

"Furthermore, the process of cultivating mental strength is inherently a process that accelerates over time."

"Now I possess golden spiritual power spanning a million light-years, which is equivalent to an incredibly heavy golden 'hammer.' Using it to forge the subsequent silver tower body will only accelerate the process!"

Qin Feng's gaze became incredibly profound as he simulated his future cultivation, his face brimming with confidence.

"With my current strength, if I were to encounter Yan Sheng of the Holy Spirit Fire Clan again..."

The image of that arrogant, tyrannical, and terrifying figure who had driven him into a life-or-death chase for thirty years flashed through his mind.

"Although I still can't kill him, it's absolutely impossible for him to kill me now!"

"At worst, we'll fight until the end of time!"

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

"That guy's goal is to hunt down other strong individuals and plunder points. He definitely won't waste a lot of time fighting a tough nut like me."

After all, if he doesn't have enough points, King Jiuling will really kill him.

Uh… or rather, even if he had enough points, the Nine Spirits King would probably still kill him.

In any case, Qin Feng has escaped the fate of being manipulated at will.

"In short, with my current strength, I can now plunder those galaxy-level resources without any restraint!"

"Within this great battle zone, among those of the same level, no one can defeat me. My strength is absolutely superior by a huge margin!"

Even if I encounter other prodigies from all races, I will not be afraid!

Everything is getting better!
Eight hundred and fifty-two years into the competition, Qin Feng finally ended his more than eight hundred years of forbearance and accumulation.

It's time to plunder galactic resources!

Qin Feng felt a surge of excitement.

Battle after battle, war after war, countless resources, and over eight hundred years of arduous cultivation in the blink of an eye—he can finally unleash his full potential without restraint, no longer needing to be cautious!

……

Qin Feng and Caesar jointly released an announcement on the private forum of the Six Star Alliances.

【announcement】

"Fellow Alliance Warriors:"

"Today, Caesar and I have completed the cleanup of all star-level mechanical races within the Alliance territory (star systems numbered 450-500), whose strength is comparable to an immortal projection of over a million light-years."

Currently, only a large number of relatively weak stellar-level mechanical races remain within the territory, allowing any warrior who has just broken through to the stellar level to independently eliminate them, thus fulfilling the mandatory elimination task of the tournament.

"All members who have broken through to the stellar level, please go and clean up as soon as possible."

Don't let your guard down. Give these mechanical races time to recuperate and build up a massive mechanical army; otherwise, they will remain a significant threat.

"From this day forward, Caesar and I will leave the Alliance territory to compete for higher-level galaxy-level resources."

The road ahead is one we must all walk ourselves.

"I wish all the martial artists in the alliance a smooth completion of the elimination mission, and that they can absorb as many resources as possible before the end of the competition, making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime battle of cosmic geniuses."

"—Qin Feng, Caesar"

The moment this announcement was released, the entire alliance forum erupted in excitement.

However, unexpectedly, the announcement did not generate a massive amount of comments and discussions, but rather a uniform and brief series of messages.

"We've won the crown!"

"May our first victory be a resounding success, and may we reach the top!"

"There are no more rivals ahead!"

"..."

Every message came from the bottom of my heart.

the reason is simple.

The warriors within these alliances had already witnessed the dire situation of other star system alliances through the public forums of the war zone.

Since the mandatory elimination mission of 800 years ago was announced, the major alliances have fallen apart and betrayals have occurred one after another.

Apart from Qin Feng and Caesar, almost all the leaders of the Galaxy Alliance abandoned their alliance members the moment the mission was announced fifty years ago, and went off to compete for galactic-level resources on their own.

Those abandoned alliance members, leaderless and disorganized, were utterly powerless to resist the powerful machine race.

They couldn't even complete the elimination tasks and ultimately left the stage in despair.

Without the power to project an indestructible image over millions of light-years, completing the elimination mission alone would be an impossible task.

And what about the alliance between Qin Feng and Kaisang?

Their two leaders spent about fifty precious years for the entire alliance!

It's important to understand that in the last two hundred years of the competition, the speed at which various opportunities and resources emerge is a thousand times, even ten thousand times, greater than at the beginning of the competition!
Every minute and every second is incredibly precious.

Qin Feng and Caesar actually used a quarter of this final sprint to pave the way for these ordinary alliance members, clearing out the most powerful mechanical race for them, and leaving them with a large number of "weak" mechanical races that could be easily killed to complete the mission...

Such magnanimity, such spirit, such a sense of responsibility!

In comparison, the difference is immediately apparent.

This kindness is as heavy as the stars and the sea!
At this moment, almost all the members of the Six Star System Alliance had become Qin Feng and Caesar's most loyal supporters.

If it were outside, and it involved a real life-or-death situation, they might hesitate.

But in this great war zone where they wouldn't truly die, and the worst outcome would only be elimination, they had already made up their minds to dedicate everything for the glory of Qin Feng and Caesar!
Anyway, without Qin Feng and Caesar, they would have been eliminated more than 800 years ago.

Everything we have now is thanks to the two of them.

Be grateful and repay kindness!

……

In the starry sky beyond the planet Library.

Qin Feng and Caesar met again, both ready to form an alliance and jointly conquer star system resource points.

At that moment, violent ripples appeared in the space around them.

One, ten, thousands upon thousands...

Countless figures appeared in this void through spatial teleportation. They were all Stellar-level martial artists!
After fifty years of development and the pressure of elimination tasks, the number of warriors who have successfully advanced to the star level in the six major star system alliances has reached a terrifying number—more than one hundred million!
At this moment, hundreds of millions of stellar-level warriors silently floated in the depths of space, watching their two leaders.

Their auras converged, forming a powerful force that defies description.

From the crowd, an aged yet powerful figure emerged—it was none other than the former martial arts fanatic senior, now a veteran member of the alliance—Cang.

Cang stepped forward, bowed deeply to Qin Feng and Caesar, and said in a deep voice:
"Qin Feng, Caesar."

"We, the Six Star System Alliance, with 130 million stellar-level warriors, are utterly convinced!"

His voice, transmitted clearly through his spiritual power, reached everyone's ears with a powerful and resounding tone.

"If there is any need for assistance, even if we are eliminated, we will have no complaints and will definitely lend a helping hand!"

"Here and now, we bid you farewell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the more than 100 million stellar-level warriors behind him simultaneously released their immortal projections.

In an instant!
The universe has been illuminated!
Hundreds of millions of "Great Sun Stars" of various shapes, yet all burning with brilliant light, appeared simultaneously in this dark depths of space!

A projection shaped like a tripod, a bell, a tower, or wings...

Billions of rays of light intertwined, illuminating this cold universe as if it were daytime, dispelling all darkness and loneliness!
This is a magnificent picture that deserves to be recorded in history.

This was a heartfelt farewell, a farewell from the depths of the soul.

Qin Feng and Caesar watched this scene quietly, feeling the pure and fervent spiritual will that had coalesced into one.

A moment later, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

His hearty laughter, brimming with unparalleled confidence and joy, shook the universe and resonated with countless stars!

Though the road ahead is long, I am not alone!
……

Within the territory of the Six Star Alliance, the dazzling sea of ​​light, formed by hundreds of millions of undying projections, burned for a long time in the cold universe before slowly dissipating as everyone left.

That unified, fervent, and pure will seems to still be imprinted in this void, witnessing a silent coronation and a grand journey.

Though the road ahead is long, I am not alone.

These eight words resonated in Qin Feng and Caesar's hearts, transforming into the most solid strength on their path forward.

After bidding farewell to the warriors of the alliance, the two did not linger for a moment.

With a slight thought, subspace teleportation was activated.

A brand new and unfamiliar star field unfolded before the two of them.

This is the very center of the entire war zone's ten thousand star systems, and the place where all the current conflicts and opportunities converge.

Upon arrival, Qin Feng sensed an aura completely different from that of the Alliance territory.

The space here is filled with an inescapable, intense, and chilling atmosphere.

Countless powerful and chaotic energy aftershocks, like unseen undercurrents, raged and collided in the void.

Occasionally, one can see distant stars covered with enormous claw marks, terrifying wounds that pierce the Earth's core, and some planets that have long since been reduced to dust, turning into desolate asteroid belts.

This is the battlefield.

Moreover, it was a battlefield of the highest intensity.

"Looks like we've come to the right place."

Qin Feng looked around calmly.

The powerful mental energy spread out like an invisible net in an instant, sensing the surrounding environment.

Caesar had already skillfully opened his personal terminal and accessed the subspace forum that covered the entire war zone.

A massive amount of information flashed rapidly through his golden eyes. After a moment, he raised his head, his expression filled with emotion.

"I just took a detailed look at the latest information on the forum. It's true that the intensity of the competition increases as it progresses, and it becomes more and more intense."

He pointed to this vast star field and continued, "Like this core area we are in now, which covers about a hundred star systems, a large number of star system-level resource points are being refreshed almost every day."

The organizers' intention was clear: to drive all the remaining strong fighters into this 'arena' for the most primal and bloody competition.

"I remember that in the first few hundred years of the competition, let alone galactic resources, even just competing for a decent stellar resource could require decades of planning, probing, and competition between several alliances."

Because resource points at that time were often accompanied by complex environmental factors, powerful guardians, and even rule traps set by the competition organizers; there were too many variables.

Caesar's tone carried a hint of reminiscence, "And now, it seems the organizers have given up on those 'twists and turns'."

These newly emerging galaxy-level resource sites have been specially selected and modified to eliminate most of the external interference factors.

They are like the fruits of the Heavenly Vine or the Graveyard of Savage Beasts; the resources are laid out nakedly. Whoever has the biggest fist, whoever can fight their way through countless competitors, will own it.

Everything depends on strength.

Qin Feng nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

This represents a shift in the screening mechanism.

The initial phase tests the participants' comprehensive abilities, including intelligence, patience, and teamwork.

Later on, once everyone's basic strength had reached a certain level, Sai Fang unveiled all the sentimental veils and returned to the most core principle—absolute force.

"In this pure free-for-all mode, the power rankings change at an astonishing speed."

Caesar swiped the virtual screen in front of him, which displayed a real-time ranking of combat power. "Look," he said, "in just the few minutes we've been talking, the top 1,000 ranking has been updated over a hundred times."

Many names that were famous yesterday may disappear into obscurity today.

At the same time, those geniuses of all races who had been lurking in the shadows finally revealed their fangs.

They were like the most efficient hunters, specifically targeting and killing the top thousand martial artists on the combat power ranking.

"The organizers have truly mastered the art of understanding human nature and the competition format."

Caesar concluded with a hint of admiration, "It not only provides geniuses with ample room and opportunities to grow, but also forces them to fight each other with the most brutal rules, balancing the intensity and training effect of the entire competition to a near-perfect degree."

"I see."

Qin Feng's answer was concise and to the point. His gaze swept over the rapidly changing numbers on Caesar's screen, and he suddenly asked, "How many contestants are left now?"

"Let me see……"

Caesar pulled up the macro data for the competition: "Total number of participants, currently remaining... 10.3 billion."

"Only 10 billion left?"

Even with Qin Feng's current composure, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when he heard this number.

The use of the word "only" is by no means an exaggeration.

It's important to know that when the Cosmic Genius Battle first began, the total number of geniuses gathered here from the five major star regions was as high as five trillion!

From five trillion to 10.3 billion.

This means that over a period of 862 years, the elimination rate reached an astonishing 99.8%!

The vast majority of these martial artists were eliminated eight hundred years after the mandatory elimination mission was announced.

"If we hadn't chosen to stay in the Alliance after the elimination mission was announced, but instead left immediately to pursue those galactic-level resources..."

Qin Feng's tone carried a hint of assumption.

Caesar immediately chimed in, "Then the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Our hundreds of millions of warriors who have just broken through to the stellar level have virtually no chance of completing the mission independently, facing those powerful mechanical races that possess strength comparable to an indestructible projection spanning millions of light-years."

Ultimately, at least 80% of them will be eliminated.

This is the fact.

The snowball effect was fully demonstrated in such a brutal elimination tournament.

Falling behind even once can lead to falling behind again and again, until utter ruin.

The decapitation operation carried out by Qin Feng and Caesar to kill the mechanical race actually bought the entire alliance a crucial "buffer period".

They first provided a massive amount of resources, enabling members of the Boundless Sea Alliance to struggle to break through to the Stellar level;

He then personally took to the field and slew all the most powerful mechanical races within the territory, effectively reducing the "hellish difficulty" elimination mission to "normal difficulty".

It was this fifty years of protection that allowed hundreds of millions of Alliance warriors to struggle for survival and have the opportunity to complete the elimination rounds.

This kindness ultimately earned him a collective send-off from hundreds of millions of stellar-level powerhouses.

After a brief moment of reflection, the two returned their thoughts to the current situation.

"Let's take a look at the specific resource distribution."

Caesar displayed a three-dimensional star map in front of the two of them. "Currently, there are more than 5,300 star system-level resource points that have been explored in this core area, and this number is being updated rapidly at a rate of dozens per day."

"All of these resource points, as we just mentioned, are in an open-ended competition mode, similar to the Sky Vine and the Beast Graveyard."

The resources are right there; whoever has the ability can grab them.

A confident smile appeared on Kaishe's lips. "However, we will still proceed as planned and begin our activities in the outer areas."

According to intelligence analysis on the forum, the most core and fertile top resource points have now been targeted by the most outstanding talents of all races.

Once those guys get involved, they're like a persistent leech, drastically slowing down our development. It's disgusting.

"clear."

Qin Feng had no objection to this.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

They are confident, but never arrogant.

Before gaining a clearer understanding of the rules of this "new hunting ground" and the top predators, taking a steady and cautious approach and starting from the periphery is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

The two exchanged a glance, their mental energy quickly sweeping across the star map, and soon locked onto a common target.

It was a resource point called "Starry Sky Iron Tree", located on the edge of the core area. It was large in scale and had a stable output.

Although there are many contenders at present, none of them are among the top 100 in combat power, nor have they attracted the attention of the geniuses of all races.

"That's it."

With their goal set, the two no longer hesitated.

With a flash, he activated subspace teleportation again, heading towards that new place of opportunity.

……

When Qin Feng and Caesar opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a strange starry sky.

The sight before your eyes is enough to deeply shock anyone who sees it for the first time.

An ancient tree, so enormous that words cannot describe it, stands silently in the center of the universe.

It is not made of flesh and blood or rock, but of a strange substance that shimmers with a metallic luster. Its trunk is so thick that it seems to be able to pierce through the Milky Way, and each branch is like an endless mountain range.

The tree is so large that it covers the area of ​​three to four standard star systems, and its countless enormous leaves are each larger than an ordinary planet.

This is the Starry Sky Iron Tree.

This tree blooms only once every ten thousand years.

And this is the time when it blooms at its peak, which only happens once every ten thousand years.

On the branches that resembled a metal mountain range, one dazzling flower after another bloomed.

These flowers come in various shapes and sizes; some are as pure as lotus flowers, while others are as elegant as peonies. Each one exudes a visible aura of energy, formed by the convergence of pure life force and spiritual power.

At this very moment, countless points of light are rapidly moving around this enormous iron tree.

Each point of light represents a powerful stellar-level martial artist.

They were rushing frantically toward the blooming flowers, trying to pick them as soon as possible.

Battles erupted constantly.

As soon as a streak of light approached an iron tree flower, several attacks would immediately come from the side, forcing it back or even severely injuring it.

Dozens of martial artists clashed in a chaotic battle over a single high-quality flower. The radiance of various immortal projections intertwined, and the aftershocks of the energy explosion tore cracks in the surrounding space.

Chaos is the only theme here.

Qin Feng and Caesar ignored this and, with a swift movement, transformed into two inconspicuous streaks of light, rushing straight into the chaotic battlefield and joining the frenzied scramble.

whoosh-

Qin Feng's movement technique was incredibly fast.

Unlike others who would rush towards a flower upon seeing it, he used his mental energy first, instantly enveloping a vast area.

While others were still searching for targets with their naked eyes and conventional mental powers, he had already precisely calculated dozens of optimal harvesting routes using his powerful mental strength.

His figure traced mysterious trajectories in the void, like a gazelle's horns. With each flash, he precisely avoided the aftermath of several battles, appearing simultaneously next to an iron tree flower that was either uncontested or the least contested.

With a gentle flick of his mental energy, the flower containing immense energy vanished from its spot and was taken into his possession.

In just a few breaths, while most of the martial artists around him were still fighting tooth and nail for the ownership of the first flower, Qin Feng had already silently picked more than a dozen iron tree flowers.

This extraordinary efficiency, in this chaotic "hive," was like a beacon in the night, instantly attracting the attention of many observant people around.

Finally, several streaks of light, each carrying an ominous aura, flashed in from different directions at the same time.

They surrounded Qin Feng, blocking him in mid-air.

As the light faded, three powerful figures appeared before Qin Feng.

The leader was dressed in a streamlined blue power armor, with intricate lightning patterns engraved on the armor, and fine arcs of electricity occasionally flickering and dancing across it.

He held a spear also crackling with lightning, his eyes sharp. He was none other than Lei Zhan, whom Qin Feng had met once before at the resource point "Tzeentch's Eye of the Chosen."

The other two were a burly man wielding a massive trident. Behind him, a faint, undying projection was a "sacred trident" magnified countless times, seemingly capable of stirring up the starry sea.

Judging from their attire and weaponry, they should be from the well-known "Deep Sea Chapter" within the major theater of operations.

The other person was ghostly in appearance, shrouded in a black robe, with an obscure and mysterious aura.

Its most peculiar feature is its undying projection, which is a "shadow crown" that is entirely black and seems to be made of pure shadows.

The crown hovered silently above his head, emitting distorted light and a concealing aura, clearly granting him exceptional speed and mobility.

Both of them were independent martial artists who chose to abandon the alliance and seek survival on their own after the elimination mission was announced.

Lei Zhan was a leader-level martial artist who once founded a sizable galaxy alliance, but later betrayed it.

At this moment, the three powerful figures surrounded Qin Feng, their eyes fixed on the iron tree flowers he had just harvested, their greed undisguised.

"Hand over all the cycad flowers you've collected, then get out of here, and I'll spare your life!"

The warrior from the Deep Sea Battle Group spoke first, his voice icy cold.

The trident in his hand was pointed diagonally at Qin Feng, the cold light at the tip flickering uncertainly, full of a threatening meaning.

Why waste your breath on him?
"Kill him! Everything on him is ours!"

The warriors of the Shadow Legion are clearly more direct and violent.

Before he finished speaking, the black crown floating behind him suddenly shone brightly, and his figure instantly transformed into an almost imperceptible black line. Holding a jet-black longsword, he silently slashed at Qin Feng's neck at an incredibly tricky angle.

The trajectory of his strike was extremely strange, as if it had merged into the shadows of space. Even Qin Feng's powerful mental strength could only barely catch a blurry afterimage.

At the same time, the warriors of the Deep Sea Legion also made a fierce move.

He let out a roar, and the massive projection of the "Holy Trident" behind him instantly solidified.

As he thrust out his halberd, a boundless, overwhelming aura, seemingly capable of engulfing the entire galaxy, swept over.

Layer upon layer of illusory waves appeared on the tip of the halberd, pointing directly at Qin Feng's chest.

The two attacked in perfect unison, one with unpredictable footwork and the other with unparalleled ferocity, instantly blocking all of Qin Feng's escape routes.

However, just as the two launched their thunderous attack, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Lei Zhan, the one who initiated the interception, turned around without hesitation the moment they made their move, transforming into a blinding bolt of lightning and fleeing for his life in the distance without looking back!
"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed through the minds of the two attackers, but the offensive had already begun, and they had no time to think about it further.

Qin Feng, facing the attack head-on, showed no sign of panic.

"The shadowy figure's swordsmanship must have relied on the characteristics of the Undying Projection to shield itself from mental lock-on to a certain extent."

That’s interesting.”

He even had the leisure to mutter to himself, offering his own commentary on the enemy's attack.

The next moment, he finally moved.

He didn't make any dodging motion, but simply slowly raised his right hand.

hum-

A long, ancient spear, entirely black and seemingly capable of swallowing all light, quietly appeared in his palm.

Devouring Star.

With a flick of his wrist, the spear hummed softly, and he unleashed an extremely simple move.

[Cangmang Mountains].

Rumbling--

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, but a scene even more terrifying occurred.

A towering pagoda, ten million light-years high and unimaginably magnificent, suddenly appeared behind Qin Feng!

The Immortal Tower!
The pagoda was entirely a crystal-clear silver-white, but at its very base, there were a hundred layers, radiating a noble, eternal, and immortal golden brilliance!
The silver and gold shimmered together, and a vast and powerful spiritual pressure, strong enough to make the stars tremble, swept out like a tangible tide.

Under this oppressive force, the shadowy warrior's proud concealment sword technique instantly melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun, revealing all its trajectory clearly.

The powerful wave attack of the deep-sea warrior was shattered by this mental pressure even before it got close.

Immediately afterwards, the overflowing immense spiritual power, guided by Qin Feng's will, rapidly condensed at the tip of the Star Devouring Spear into an ancient divine mountain that seemed to have existed since the beginning of the universe!

This sacred mountain is no longer just a mere phantom of energy; every inch of its "mountain body" flows with a profound, vast, and timeless martial arts essence!

"what?!"

"Gold...golden spiritual power!!"
