High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 242 A fearsome reputation! Ranked eighty-eighth on the combat power list! Qin Feng's fame soars!
"He not only completed the 'Foundation of the Eternal Singularity,' but he has also refined his Dao Foundation to this extent?!"

The warriors of the Shadow Legion and the Deep Sea Legion, who were launching a full-scale attack, finally understood why Lei Zhan had turned and run without hesitation the moment they sensed the golden pagoda.

A fear emanating from the depths of their souls instantly seized their minds.

But it was all too late.

boom--

The ancient divine mountain, containing boundless martial arts essence, crashed down with Qin Feng's spear.

Neither of them could hold on for even a second.

The shadow warrior's eerie movements and longsword, along with his physical body, were crushed into the most basic particles under the suppression of the sacred mountain.

The undying projection of the black crown atop his head let out a mournful cry and shattered inch by inch.

The projection of the sacred trident of the Deep Sea Warrior was as fragile as glass before that divine mountain, crumbling at the slightest touch.

His imposing body, along with that terrified scream, was completely erased, turning into cosmic dust.

According to the rules of the war zone, if the immortal projection is shattered once, it means that the two people have been killed. Although they can be reborn, they will enter the hunting period. If it happens again, they will be eliminated.

With their deaths, all the resources stored in their personal terminals instantly transformed into two streams of light and flew into Qin Feng's jade tablet.

[You have slain a contestant...and obtained 62 Iron Tree Flowers...]

[You have slain a contestant...and obtained 63 Iron Tree Flowers...]

A series of message notifications flashed by.

"Oh? Not bad. Each of these two has more than sixty iron tree flowers on them."

"Adding in other miscellaneous resources, it's quite an unexpected windfall."

Qin Feng looked at the list of spoils on the jade tablet and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"I almost forgot, in a place like this, there's no better way to get by than painstakingly gathering resources than to just kill someone!"

"Plunder is the fastest and most effective way to acquire resources!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head, his gaze like two golden lightning bolts, instantly locking onto the lightning bolt that was frantically fleeing in the distance.

"Lei Zhan! Where do you think you're going!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounded throughout the starry sky.

Qin Feng's figure instantly disappeared from the spot via subspace teleportation.

In the next instant, he appeared like a ghost in front of Lei Zhan's escape route, blocking his way.

At the same time, his incredibly powerful, golden mental energy, like invisible chains, tightly bound Lei Zhan, preventing him from performing subspace jumps.

"Qin Feng! Don't push your luck!"

Seeing Qin Feng appear before him as if by teleportation, Lei Zhan was terrified and almost lost his mind.

He quickly stopped and shouted, his voice trembling with fear.

"When I was in Tzeentch's Chosen Eye, I saw you in seclusion, but I never had the slightest thought of disturbing you! We have no grudges against each other!"

He explained, his mind filled with shock.

He just couldn't understand how Qin Feng's strength could have increased to such an unbelievable level!

It should be noted that the competition in the major regions has now been going on for over 860 years, and all the prodigies no longer hide their strength.

Everyone pulled out all the stops for the final sprint.

The ranking of combat power is arguably the most valuable it has ever been.

According to the information he obtained from the forum, most of the top martial artists are still working hard to forge the "foundation of the eternal singularity," which is to increase the scale of the immortal projection to tens of millions of light-years.

Only the top thousand monsters on the combat power ranking have almost completed this step.

Even the current number one powerhouse on the combat power ranking has only completed one ten-millionth of the progress in refining his golden spiritual power! It's just the beginning.

But what about Qin Feng?

His immortal tower, the golden part of which visibly occupies a full one-tenth!

What is this concept?
This means that Qin Feng's strength has far exceeded the scope that the current combat power ranking can measure, and it is a gap-breaking, crushing lead over everyone!
Lei Zhan had a million curse words he wanted to utter.

How is this played?
There is indeed no enmity between us.

Qin Feng looked at Lei Zhan, who was filled with fear, and smiled warmly, but his tone was icy cold and devoid of any emotion.

"However, I've got my eye on your resources."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng stopped wasting words and raised the Star-Devouring Spear in his hand once again. The illusory image of the ancient divine mountain that had suppressed countless ages once more condensed into form.

"you……!"

Lei Zhan was both shocked and furious, knowing that there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully today.

He let out a desperate roar, pushing his strength to its limit.

The immortal projection, which had reached a scale of tens of millions of light-years—a "thunder spear" wrapped with billions of thunder runes—burst out a blinding light, rising up in resistance to meet the slowly descending divine mountain.

However, all this is in vain.

The moment his thunderous spear touched the ancient divine mountain that contained boundless martial arts essence, it crumbled inch by inch from the tip, as if made of paper.

"...His killing technique is perfected... He's even grasped the true meaning of martial arts... Monster..."

These were Lei Zhan's last words.

With a bitter curse of resentment, his physical body, along with his proud, immortal projection, was completely crushed by that vast divine mountain, exploding into a dazzling burst of fireworks before vanishing entirely into the cold universe.

……

[You have slain the martial artist Lei Zhan, and you have obtained the following resources: 93 Iron Tree Flowers, 12 Thunder Cores, 1 Shattered Thunder Pattern Armor, 43 Stellar-grade Energy Crystals...]

A notification popped up on Qin Feng's personal terminal, clearly showing the reward for killing Lei Zhan.

Lei Zhan, as a former leader of the alliance, still possesses abundant resources.

He casually pocketed the spoils.

"good."

He murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

The vastness of the universe remains, but at this moment, within this realm of "Starry Iron Tree," there is a restlessness and vitality.

Countless martial artists weaved through the branches of the enormous iron tree, vying for the flower that bloomed only once every ten thousand years, containing immense spiritual and life force.

These flowers, like dazzling stars, adorn the enormous ironwood tree, radiating an alluring glow.

Qin Feng did not stop.

"continue."

He transformed into a streak of light and plunged once again into the scramble for the flowers.

His figure was like a ghost, moving among the dense crowd of martial artists. Each time he appeared, he could easily pluck more than a dozen flowers.

Half a month passed quietly.

During this period, Qin Feng did not encounter any more martial artists who deliberately provoked him.

Lei Zhan's encounter with the previous two stellar-level martial artists was enough to intimidate most people.

Those martial artists who witnessed Qin Feng instantly kill Lei Zhan and the other two with his "golden spiritual power" and "perfect killing technique martial arts true meaning" all felt a deep sense of fear towards him.

They chose to give way.

Even as Qin Feng flew past them, they merely observed from a distance, daring not to make the slightest move.

However, the complexities of human nature are laid bare on this battlefield of resource competition.

These martial artists who knew Qin Feng's strength did not publicize his terrifying combat power.

On the contrary, they were happy to see a steady stream of new martial artists arriving, provoking Qin Feng because they didn't know the situation, and then being killed by Qin Feng.

Each such event signifies a reduction in competitors and a potential reshuffling of resources.

Under these brutal rules of survival, information can sometimes determine fate more effectively than force.

Qin Feng was fully aware of this, but he didn't care.

No matter what others think, it won't affect his ability to acquire resources with the fastest efficiency.

In the past two weeks, he not only harvested a large number of iron tree flowers, but also multitasked with his work, pushing the golden part of his [Undying Tower] up another level.

Every inch of growth in his strength made him feel incredibly fulfilled.

Just as he was preparing to delve deeper into the iron tree to explore its resources, his personal terminal suddenly emitted a fluctuation.

It was a message from Caesar.

"Qin Feng, please help me!"

Caesar's voice came through the warp friend channel, his speech was a little fast, with a hint of urgency, but more so excitement, "At the very top of the ancient tree, I found a warrior with a combat power ranking of over 700. He just obtained a star system-level resource and hasn't had time to digest it yet."

I've got him tied up now, but it's hard for me to kill him. Come quick, let's split it fifty-fifty.

Qin Feng's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Caesar rarely asked him for help; when he did, it was because he had encountered a formidable opponent with considerable ambitions.

"it is good!"

He replied briefly, and then, with a thought, ripples spread through the space around him.

Complex and mysterious runes gathered around him, forming a temporary subspace teleportation channel.

The next instant, his figure seemed to be enveloped in starlight, instantly disappearing from the spot and directly arriving at the very top of the "Starry Sky Iron Tree" through subspace teleportation.

As soon as Qin Feng stepped into this area, he felt an energy fluctuation that was several times more intense than that below.

This is the core area of ​​the "Starry Sky Iron Tree" and also the most competitive place.

Looking around, hundreds of powerful auras swirled around them. They were all top-tier individuals among the star-level beings, their gazes focused on the two figures locked in fierce combat in the center.

One of them was Caesar.

He wore the golden light armor unique to the Holy Blood Angels Warband and held a golden holy sword that exuded a holy aura. Each strike tore through the void and created visible spatial rifts.

His immortal projection, the Undying Holy Feather, unfurled behind him, with billions of light feathers intertwining to form a sacred curtain. Each flap of the feathers unleashed an endless storm of spiritual energy.

The warrior fighting Caesar was also clad in golden armor.

He was a burly man, with ancient runes engraved on his golden armor. Behind him, the undying projection of a giant axe shone with a dazzling light, each ray of light seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

He wielded a giant axe identical to the projection, which clashed with Caesar's holy sword, producing a deafening metallic clang. The resulting shockwaves instantly annihilated the surrounding planetary fragments.

This is a duel between top-tier stellar-level powerhouses, and every attack contains the power to destroy stars.

Although the surrounding martial artists were watching, they carefully maintained a safe distance. Their mental energy intertwined, forming an invisible network, and their whispers were transmitted through the subspace channel.

"They are warriors from the Golden Legion..."

"Jin Sheng, ranked 703rd in combat power, is a top genius who has already constructed an immortal projection spanning tens of millions of light-years! His combat power is unparalleled!"

"Who is that?"

"That guy seems to be called Caesar. He's from the Holy Blood Angels Warband. He's very special because he's the only one from the Holy Blood Angels Warband. So I have a deep impression of him. I didn't expect that after so many years of silence, his strength has improved so quickly and he has also completed the foundation of the Eternal Singularity."

"What a fierce battle! Caesar has the upper hand, but he can't defeat Jin Sheng in a short time, simply because Caesar's killing techniques are stronger than Jin Sheng's."

"Hehe, this is for the best. Both sides will be severely injured, allowing me to finish them off, absorb all the resources, and gain a lot of points as well."

"..."

The warriors' discussions were filled with shock at the strength of the powerful figures, speculation about Caesar and Jin Sheng's backgrounds, and anticipation for the outcome of the battle—they hoped to reap the benefits of the outcome.

Jin Sheng, amidst the fierce battle, was filled with anxiety.

"Caesar! Are you out of your mind?! You can't kill me, so why are you bothering me?!"

With a roar, he swung his giant axe horizontally, tearing through space and forcing Caesar to take a half-step back.

In his view, although Caesar was slightly stronger, it would not be easy for him to truly kill a powerful being who was an indestructible projection spanning tens of millions of light-years among those of the same level.

Especially in such core resource areas, every minute and second is extremely precious.

He had just taken a huge risk to acquire a galaxy-level resource from a dangerous place, and urgently needed to go into seclusion to digest it.

As a result, when I passed by this starry iron tree, I tried to grab a few flowers, but Caesar stuck to me like a leech and I couldn't shake him off at all.

This made him extremely anxious.

"I can't kill you, but someone else can!"

A sly glint flashed in Caesar's golden eyes as he sensed a familiar yet powerful aura descending upon the area via warp teleportation.

A wicked smile crept across his face, and his attacks suddenly became even more ferocious, pinning Jin Sheng down and giving him no chance to escape.

The moment Caesar finished speaking, Qin Feng appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

His appearance was unpretentious, as if he had merged into the void, yet he instantly became the sole focus of this battlefield.

Holding the Star-Devouring Spear, Qin Feng attacked Jin Sheng without hesitation.

"kill--"

A deep, explosive roar erupted from Qin Feng's mouth, like an ancient war song, shaking the surrounding space.

Behind him, the phantom of the [Immortal Tower], woven from silver and gold, quietly appeared.

The golden tower occupies one-tenth of its height, exuding an aura of holiness, solemnity, and unparalleled majesty, like a divine mountain that has suppressed eternity, standing proudly in the universe.

At the same time, a vast, boundless, and domineering martial arts intent, centered on Qin Feng, instantly spread out, filling the space within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This "intention" is not simply an energy fluctuation, but a spiritual energy field condensed to the extreme, making everything around seem to be shrouded in heavy pressure, even causing spatial particles to tremble.

"Vast and desolate mountains—"

Qin Feng thrust out his spear, the tip of the Star Devouring Spear emitting terrifying energy light.

Even more astonishingly, his spiritual power transformed into a real ancient divine mountain in that instant.

The phantom of the divine mountain condensed at the tip of the spear, carrying unparalleled weight and destructive power, and crashed down on Jin Sheng's giant axe projection.

Jin Sheng's pupils contracted sharply; he sensed an unprecedented crisis.

The overwhelming "true essence of martial arts" instantly crushed his killing technique, rendering all his resistance pale and powerless.

boom--

Without any suspense, Qin Feng's ancient divine mountain collided with Jin Sheng's giant axe projection.

Faced with the overwhelming martial arts essence of "Vast Mountains," Jin Sheng's giant axe projection, spanning tens of millions of light-years, shattered instantly like paper, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.

Immediately afterwards, that unparalleled and terrifying power continued its momentum, directly striking Jin Sheng's physical body.

Jin Sheng didn't even have time to let out a scream before his golden armor disintegrated in an instant, and his body shattered like porcelain being smashed by a giant hammer, eventually turning into a cloud of blood mist.

one move!
Just one move!
Jin Sheng, a top genius ranked 703 on the combat power list and possessing an indestructible projection spanning tens of millions of light-years, was instantly killed by Qin Feng!

The whispers of the surrounding martial artists abruptly ceased, and the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

They stared at the blood rain falling everywhere, their eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and fear.

"what's the situation?!"

Someone broke the silence, their voice trembling.

"Killed Jin Sheng in one move? Where the hell did this incredible guy come from?!"

"One-tenth of the immortal projection has already been refined into gold. What terrifying cultivation level."

“He has already mastered the true meaning of martial arts and has perfected the level eight killing technique. I don’t even have a level eight killing technique yet. I’ve been using a King’s inheritance that I’ve only mastered 80% of.”

"Could the person with Caesar be Qin Feng?"

"It's very possible that the Qin Feng Caesar Alliance was the earliest star system alliance to be established, but it went quiet for a long time afterward, probably because it was busy hunting down the machine race?"

"It's probably Qin Feng. Besides the Perfect Hand of the Extreme Battle Group, who else can cultivate so fast? He's far ahead, even the top tier can hardly catch up with him."

"..."

The martial artists were buzzing with discussion, but their shock, fear, and speculation could not mask the profound awe they felt towards Qin Feng's strength.

That gap-like lead has exceeded their comprehension.

[You have slain martial artist Jin Sheng, and you have obtained the following resources: 1928 Heavenly Feathers, 342 Diamonds, 88 Stellar-grade Energy Crystals...]

You have earned 1288347 points.

Qin Feng's personal terminal gave another notification, clearly displaying the spoils and points from defeating Jin Sheng.

He glanced at it and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

As a top prodigy, Jin Sheng has indeed accumulated far more resources than Lei Zhan and others.

As for Tianyu, it must be the galaxy-level resource he obtained before.

On a whim, he collected all of Jin Sheng's spoils of war.

Qin Feng then took out half of it and sent it to Caesar via the subspace network channel.

"It's a deal, half for each of us."

Qin Feng said with a smile, his voice carrying a hint of ease.

"Haha not bad."

Caesar also burst into laughter, his eyes filled with delight.

Jin Sheng is indeed a tough opponent. If Qin Feng hadn't arrived in time, even if he could have won, it would have taken him a lot of time and effort.

As the two laughed, their gazes simultaneously turned to the martial artists watching from the surrounding area.

At this moment, these martial artists were in a state of great shock, and some of them had not yet recovered from the shock of Jin Sheng being instantly killed.

The martial artists who could gather at the top of the Starry Iron Tree were all quite powerful, at least one-tenth of the "Eternal Singularity Foundation" and were star-level experts.

Although they are not as powerful as Jin Sheng, they must have accumulated a lot of resources and points.

There were about a hundred martial artists watching from the sidelines.

As Qin Feng and Caesar's gazes shifted, an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the space.

The two vast spiritual forces intertwined, like two invisible mountains, locking down the surrounding space.

The warriors were horrified to discover that the subspace teleportation had completely failed!

"no……"

One of the onlookers, a martial artist, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief and fear. His voice trembled as he said, "You're going to kill us?! We were just watching!"

His voice sounded unusually jarring in the silent universe.

"hehe."

Caesar sneered, his golden eyes flashing with undisguised killing intent: "You were just waiting for us to be both exhausted before you made your move to kill us, and now you're saying you were just watching the show?"

His words revealed the true thoughts of these onlookers, causing many martial artists to show unnatural embarrassment and panic on their faces.

Qin Feng's smile grew even colder. He spoke slowly, each word carrying an undeniable air of dominance: "We want your resources!"

Upon hearing this, the last shred of hope in the hearts of all the onlookers was utterly shattered.

They realized that this was not a threat.

"No, I'm willing to give you all the resources. Please don't kill me. My respawn point has been captured by the mechanical race. If I respawn, I won't be able to defeat them and will be easily eliminated."

Among the crowd, a martial artist could no longer bear the fear and began to plead.

It turns out that most of the martial artists watching were members of the now-fallen-out alliance of independent martial artists.

After the mandatory elimination mission was issued 800 years into the competition, their alliance leader betrayed them, the alliance collapsed and fell apart, and the respawn point was also captured by the powerful machine race due to a lack of organization and strength.

If they are killed now, they can only be reborn on a planet occupied by the machine race.

Faced with the powerful mechanical race that occupied several stars and created countless mechanical artifacts, they were powerless to resist and could only be eliminated.

Death is not frightening here.

But elimination means losing everything, losing all the opportunities that follow in this cosmic battle of geniuses—a tremendous loss. "Qin Feng, Caesar, we truly meant no harm!"

"We'll leave all our resources behind, please let us go!"

"As long as they don't eliminate us!"

The martial artists said in deep voices.

"Well, if it were at the very beginning of the match, I might have let you go."

"But now, we must speed up the elimination process," Caesar said in a deep voice, his gaze devoid of any pity.

His words were cold and resolute, revealing the ruthlessness of the race against time in the later stages of the competition.

Eliminating the weak and plundering resources is the most efficient survival rule at present.

"kill--"

Caesar gave a low shout and made the first move.

The golden holy sword in his hand transformed into a blazing light, instantly slashing towards the few martial artists closest to him.

Qin Feng also acted without hesitation. The Star-Devouring Spear in his hand transformed into a golden lightning bolt, containing the martial arts essence of [Vast Mountains], and rushed straight towards the crowd.

The illusory image of the [Undying Tower] behind him also released a terrifying suppressive force, causing the warriors who tried to escape to slow down drastically, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams were instantly swallowed by the endless energy fluctuations. Under the combined attack of Qin Feng and Caesar, two top-tier stellar-level powerhouses, the onlookers were utterly powerless to resist.

Less than half a minute.

As the roar subsided, the blood-mist-filled starry sky was devoid of any living warriors.

Hundreds of stellar-level martial artists were slaughtered by Qin Feng and Caesar.

You have slain a martial artist... and gained resources...

[You have slain a martial artist...and gained points...]

Inside Qin Feng's jade tablet, resources and points kept fluctuating and skyrocketing!
His and Caesar's individual rankings and combat power rankings are climbing rapidly at a visible speed!
……

"good."

Caesar's golden eyes gleamed with rationality.

"According to my calculations,"

He began, “The warriors we just swept away were of average strength in the upper-middle level of the major battle zone, and each of them had accumulated a considerable amount of resources.”

In addition to the legacy of a top genius like Jin Sheng, and what we subsequently collected from the iron tree itself…”

His mental power was like the most sophisticated computing computer, rapidly constructing data models at the subspace level.

"...a preliminary conclusion can be drawn."

Each star system-level resource point has a fixed output, but the 'flowing resources' that gather here due to competition—that is, other martial artists—are even more valuable than the resource point itself.

We split the fixed output equally, and then convert the circulating resources into our reserves by hunting and clearing the area..."

Caesar turned his gaze to Qin Feng, his tone carrying a hint of certainty: "We only need to use this method to clear three star system-level resource points of the same level, and we will have enough resources to advance to the star system level!"

"Three."

Qin Feng pondered the number, calculated in his mind, and came to a similar conclusion.

The main reason is that there are too many mobile resources obtained from killing martial artists.

This efficiency far exceeded his expectations.

In this lawless jungle, martial artists themselves are the highest quality and most concentrated resource.

Of course, not all martial artists have a large amount of unused resources. Among the martial artists that Qin Feng just killed, some were penniless.

"Then let's get started."

Qin Feng spoke succinctly, the Star-Devouring Spear in his hand trembling slightly, emitting a soft cry that yearned for battle.

Without the slightest hesitation, without a moment's pause.

A bloody storm sweeping across the entire Starry Sky Iron Tree resource point has officially begun.

Qin Feng wants both the iron tree flowers and the resources from the martial artists attracted by them!

……

The storm begins with those opportunistic bystanders.

In an asteroid belt several astronomical units away from the main trunk of the iron tree, a temporary squad of seven stellar-level warriors is lying in wait.

They were distant witnesses to the previous mountaintop massacre. Qin Feng and Caesar's terrifying strength kept them from getting close, but the immense allure of the Starry Sky Iron Tree made them unwilling to leave.

"Those two evil stars are still active in the core area of ​​the iron tree. We'll stay on the outskirts and pick up some scattered fallen petals. Every little bit helps, and it's better than going home empty-handed."

The squad leader, a warrior whose indestructible projection is a "Lava Shield," is issuing commands to his team members via a mental encryption channel.

"The captain is right. If we don't provoke them, they wouldn't come all this way to hunt us down for a few scraps, would they?"

One of the team members chimed in, his eyes gleaming with greed.

They moved cautiously, like scavengers in the shadows, constantly gathering resources of relatively low value.

However, they underestimated Qin Feng's determination to clear the area.

Just as they acquired a millstone-sized "Fragment of the Heart of the Iron Tree," a cold, emotionless gaze seemed to transcend endless time and space, precisely locking onto each of them.

The next instant, the space in front of them rippled violently, like the surface of a lake tossed with a stone.

Qin Feng stepped out from the crowd, not even glancing at the seven people, his gaze remaining fixed on the distant iron tree trunk, as if he were merely passing by.

But he raised his left hand.

In the palm of his hand, the phantom of the [Immortal Tower], which had merged with a million light-years of dazzling gold, flashed and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, an ancient divine mountain, stretching across the void and exuding an aura of antiquity, suddenly materialized and pressed down on this meteorite belt without warning!

The true meaning of martial arts, [Cangmang Mountains]!
"not good!"

"It's Qin Feng!"

"How could he..."

The horrified screams of the seven martial artists were completely crushed before they could even be fully heard, thanks to the domineering and tyrannical martial intent.

Their immortal projections—whether solid lava shields or sharp star blades—were as fragile as bubbles before that divine mountain that seemed to bear the weight of the entire universe since its creation.

boom--

There was no explosion, no flame.

The meteorite belt, the seven stellar-level martial artists, and all their auras and traces were "erased" by that divine mountain in an instant.

Like an eraser rubbing across paper, everything vanishes into the purest nothingness.

Subspace teleportation, lock on, strike, annihilate.

The entire process was smooth and took no more than three seconds.

Qin Feng's figure didn't even pause for a moment before disappearing into the spatial ripples once again.

Only the cold universe remains, bearing witness to this silent massacre.

……

As time went on, Qin Feng's fearsome reputation began to spread in a small circle.

However, the war zone was so vast that there was always a delay in the transmission of information.

A steady stream of newcomers continues to arrive, drawn by the vast resources of the Starry Sky Iron Tree.

On this day, an incredibly flamboyant blade of light pierced through the sea of ​​stars and landed on one of the main branches of the iron tree.

The newcomer was a burly man clad in dark red armor and wielding a ferocious bone blade. His immortal projection was a "Lord of the Abyss" spanning tens of millions of light-years, radiating an aura of carnage.

He comes from a notorious frontier chapter—the Abyss Chapter.

This faction is both righteous and evil, making it extremely terrifying.

"Haha, no one's picking the cycad flowers here? Looks like I'm in luck!"

The man burst into wild laughter, completely oblivious to the eerie silence that surrounded him.

His name is "The Slaughterer" Ricky, a powerful figure known for his brutality and warlike nature. He consistently ranks around 1200th on the power rankings, demonstrating his formidable strength.

He reached out and grabbed at a huge cycad flower that was about to bloom.

Just then, a calm voice sounded behind him.

"lay down."

Ricky turned around abruptly and saw Qin Feng, a black-haired youth hovering not far away, his aura as restrained as that of an ordinary person.

"Who are you? How dare you order me around?"

A savage red light flashed in Qi's eyes. He could sense Qin Feng's power, but this only fueled his bloodthirsty fighting spirit.

Qin Feng did not answer, but simply looked at him calmly.

That look in his eyes completely enraged Ricky.

"court death!"

Ricky roared, and the projection of "Lord of the Abyss" behind him let out a roar. The bone blade in his hand was instantly enveloped by endless negative energy, transforming into a blood-red blade of light powerful enough to cleave stars, and slashed towards Qin Feng.

Faced with this earth-shattering strike, Qin Feng's movements were extremely simple.

He raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and pointed at the crimson blade light in mid-air.

hum-

There was no earth-shattering collision.

At his fingertips, a strand of martial arts essence, refined to its utmost, burst forth.

The illusory image of that ancient sacred mountain was compressed into a tiny singularity, but the power of "suppression" and "collapse" contained within it increased exponentially.

Upon contact with that wisp of true meaning, the crimson blade light seemed to be thrown into the blazing sun like ice and snow, silently melting and disintegrating from the tip of the blade until it completely collapsed.

"what?!"

Ricky's arrogance was instantly replaced by boundless fear.

His all-out attack, which he was so proud of, was so easily neutralized by his opponent!
He wanted to escape, but his body felt as if it were being crushed by millions of mountains at once, making it impossible to even move a finger.

"We've been waiting for a fool like you. Otherwise, why do you think no one dares to come here?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Qin Feng chuckled and thrust out a spear, striking Ricky between the eyebrows.

Ricky's massive and sturdy physical body, along with his "Abyss Demon God" projection spanning millions of light-years, shattered instantly like a punctured balloon, turning into a sky full of blood mist and energy specks.

Another powerful figure has fallen.

After that, all the warriors who newly arrived at the Starry Sky Iron Tree would learn a bloody lesson from the terrified voices of the survivors—there was an existence on this tree that should never be provoked.

However, some people still refuse to believe it.

When the rules of a region are completely rewritten by one person, it will inevitably attract challenges from stronger individuals.

On this day, three divine lights arrived together and descended upon the area where Qin Feng was located.

The leader, clad in platinum holy armor, possessed a handsome face. His immortal projection was a "Sun God Furnace" radiating endless light and heat, its immense power causing the entire Starry Sky Iron Tree to tremble.

"Ranked 198th on the combat power list, 'Son of the Sun' Opel!"

"The two people beside him are also among the top 500 experts!"

"They are the three leaders of the 'Holy Light Judgment' Alliance. Finally, a top-tier force has come to punish that demon king!"

In the distance, some surviving martial artists were preparing to take this opportunity to gather some resources.

"Qin Feng,"

Opel's voice was loud and majestic, like the judgment of a god: "Your killings end here."

"Hand over all the resources you've plundered, and I, on behalf of the Holy Light, can grant you a dignified exit."

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, raised his head from a freshly picked cycad flower, and looked at Opel and the other two with a hint of... weariness in his eyes.

He has experienced similar scenarios far too many times in the past three months.

"Noisy."

He only uttered two words.

"Insanity!"

A powerful figure wielding a thunder hammer beside Opel roared and launched the first attack.

"Thunderous Fury!"

The projection of the Thunder Hammer, spanning tens of millions of light-years, carrying billions of lightning serpents, crashed down on Qin Feng.

At the same time, another powerful figure launched an attack, with countless "Chains of Judgment" made of mental energy blocking all of Qin Feng's escape routes.

Opel raised his hands high, and the "Solar Furnace" behind him began to operate wildly, within which a "Judgment Sun" powerful enough to evaporate stars was being conceived.

The three of them worked together seamlessly, and their first move was a decisive blow, clearly indicating that they had practiced countless times.

However, faced with an absolute disparity in strength, all tactics seem pale and powerless.

Faced with the devastating attack, Qin Feng unleashed his full golden spiritual power.

The next moment, he thrust out with his spear.

This shot was silent, without a sound, and without light.

Killer move: Devour the Heavens!

Start later but arrive first.

The mighty thunder hammer, upon contact with the spear tip, shattered into dust inch by inch, starting from its center.

The powerful warrior wielding the warhammer didn't even have time to utter a scream before his immortal projection and physical body were annihilated together.

Countless "chains of judgment" crumbled on their own under the sharp edge of the spear, as if they had encountered their nemesis.

The powerful figure who had laid down the chains stared wide-eyed, a tiny black dot appearing between his brows, before his entire body turned to ashes.

Finally, the Star-Devouring Spear, undiminished in its momentum, precisely struck the core of Opel's still-forming "Judgment Sun."

The "Sun God Furnace," which was frantically accumulating energy, seemed to have all its energy drained in an instant, letting out a mournful cry before exploding into pieces.

"puff--"

Opel coughed up a mouthful of blood, his handsome face filled with disbelief.

A top-tier prodigy ranked in the top 200 of the combat power list, along with two companions from the top 500, launched a deadly combined attack, yet... it was shattered by a single spear thrust from the opponent?!

He even killed two people in an instant, leaving him on the verge of death?
With the immortal projection shattered, his physical body could not be maintained for much longer.

They had originally heard that Qin Feng had seized a large amount of resources from this star system-level resource point and wanted to kill him to obtain those resources.

Now, he is about to be killed and will soon lose a lot of resources.

"you……"

He was about to say something when his body exploded.

From then on, no one dared to challenge Qin Feng's authority.

The entire Starry Sky Iron Tree became his and Caesar's private resource.

A few days later.

When Qin Feng finally acquired the last ironwood flower, this enormous spectacle that spanned several star systems had become completely bare, devoid of any energy fluctuations.

This galaxy-level resource point, which once attracted countless powerful individuals, has been completely drained.

Qin Feng hovered atop the desolate iron tree, his divine sense sweeping over his subspace storage unit.

【Iron Tree Flower】: 103,427 flowers.

In addition, there were massive amounts of diverse resources plundered from thousands of stellar-level warriors.

In these three months, he killed an appalling 1,074 stellar-level martial artists.

Among them, there are exactly ten strong individuals ranked in the top 1,000 of the combat power list.

Including "Son of the Sun" Opel, these once-renowned prodigies became the cornerstones on his path to becoming even stronger.

"almost."

Qin Feng murmured to himself, "I can go into seclusion now."

All preparations have been completed. The next step is to transform these massive resources into real combat power.

However, just as he was about to leave, a question quietly surfaced in his mind.

"That's strange, why aren't the geniuses of all races coming to find me?"

With a slight thought, he brought up his personal panel for the major battle zone.

In the "Power Ranking" section, his ranking has jumped to 88th.

This ranking has firmly secured its place in the top 100.

According to the competition rules and the intelligence gathered beforehand, martial artists in this range are already considered "prey" for the geniuses of all races.

In the past three months, he has caused such a huge commotion that not only has no opponent of Yan Sheng's level appeared, but not even the most ordinary genius of the myriad races has appeared.

Qin Feng had already devised several plans to deal with a powerful enemy, and even planned his escape route.

Now it seems that it's completely useless.

"Could it be..."

Qin Feng thought to himself, "Does this mean they think I have the potential to enter the top ten, so they've temporarily listed me as a 'long-term observation target' and aren't in a hurry to hunt me down now?"

He muttered to himself.

This is not impossible.

Because numerous rumors have confirmed that the prodigies of all races need to kill the top warriors on the combat power ranking to gain points, and it seems that it is not a simple ranking assessment, but a comprehensive assessment of combat power, strength and other factors. If they do not have enough points, they will be killed by the Nine Spirit King.

"let it go."

After a brief moment of thought, Qin Feng put the matter out of his mind.

Whatever the other party's intentions, they are irrelevant to him.

The fact that the enemy didn't come gave him the most valuable time to develop.

"It's better that you're not trying to annoy me now."

This will allow me to focus on my seclusion in peace.

Qin Feng's mind returned to planning his own strength.

"The total amount of resources plundered this time has far exceeded expectations."

If I digest it all, it will be enough for me to advance the golden portion of the [Immortal Tower] from one hundred floors to five hundred floors in one fell swoop!

Qin Feng's eyes gleamed with an unprecedented sharpness and fighting spirit.

The current hundred-story golden tower gives him the confidence to face any competitor from any major battle zone.

What if we break through 500 floors a few months later?

He will no longer fear the prodigies of all races!
On the contrary, they can confront the geniuses of all races head-on, understand them, and even kill them!

"A five-hundred-story golden tower..."

In Qin Feng's mind, the arrogant figure who had brought him thirty years of humiliation and exile once again appeared. "Perhaps... there is now a real possibility of killing Yan Sheng!"

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's fighting spirit burned fiercely.

Without any further hesitation, Qin Feng exchanged a few words with Caesar, then moved and activated subspace teleportation to return to the Ice Cave planet.

His goal during this seclusion is a five-hundred-story golden tower!
If Qin Feng encounters Yan Sheng after leaving the pass, he will kill him!
