High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 269 Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom! Reencounter with an Old Acquaintance! Qin Feng's terrifying power shocks the Crimson Feather Merchant Guild!

In the boundless vacuum of space, a figure traversed the cold, deathly darkness without the aid of any ships, relying solely on his physical body.

His body was encased in a set of blue-gold ultimate power armor, the surface of which was covered with mysterious energy patterns, like a creation from the mythical era.

Behind him, a pair of crimson-gold wings unfurled slightly, and with each gentle flap, he traced a dazzling trajectory through space, leaving countless meteorites and stardust far behind.

That figure was Qin Feng.

His destination was a vast cluster of celestial bodies radiating a life-giving aura on the star map ahead—the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom.

This is the first marker on the "Path to the End" route planned for him by the will of the universe, a temporary stop.

At this moment, a century has quietly passed since the Twin Rivers Battle that shook countless powerful figures.

For a century, there was an unexpected period of calm. The anticipated cataclysmic pursuit did not materialize; the universe seemed to have forgotten this newly risen and ferocious god, allowing him to roam freely on his lonely course.

But Qin Feng's guard never wavered. He knew better than anyone what turbulent undercurrents were brewing beneath this calm surface.

The death mission issued by the will of the universe has begun, the chessboard has been laid out, and those hunters lurking in the shadows are just waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, to weave a net big enough to completely annihilate him.

When the magnificent outline of the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom, composed of hundreds of inhabited planets and countless space structures, finally became clear in his field of vision, Qin Feng slowly retracted his crimson-gold wings and slowed down.

He decided to stay here for a while.

"A century is enough time for those pursuers to calm down from the shock of the Twin Rivers."

Qin Feng's thoughts echoed within the sealed power armor, his voice calm and undisturbed, "They have witnessed my strength firsthand, and they will certainly not make the mistake of underestimating me again. The next attack will be thunderous and powerful; I have made thorough preparations."

His mind was like a sophisticated supercomputer, rapidly analyzing the current situation.

"The enemies are far more than those who have received missions from the will of the universe."

"First, there are direct enemies. Neil of the Light Clan, Ye Luo, the son of the Stone Emperor, and other hostile quest takers. They suffered a great loss and lost face in the Twin Rivers, and they will never let it go."

The races behind them are also my adversaries. The energy of these peak cosmic races is unfathomable. The power they mobilize is far more than just a few prodigies; it's very likely that there are older generation ultimate black hole-level powerhouses among them.

"Secondly, there are profit-seeking predators."

The fact that I possess such a cosmic artifact as the Twin Mask is probably no secret for quite some time.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." This principle is played out to its extreme in the brutal battlefield of all races.

Countless interstellar pirates roaming the sea of ​​stars, powerful lone cultivators, and even some clandestine cosmic nations will be drawn here like sharks smelling blood.

They might not dare to openly oppose the human empire, but there are far too many gray areas to navigate on this long road of escape.

"Finally, and most troublesomely, I lack a top-tier secret technique that can perfectly conceal my identity and aura."

Qin Feng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

His current disguise can only fool beings whose strength is far inferior to his.

Once he encounters someone of the same level, especially a powerful individual skilled in tracking and investigation techniques, his [Eternal Singularity] Dao Foundation and his incomparably sharp killing aura become as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the night.

Of course, even if it could be hidden, it couldn't hide the fact that the Cosmic Will mission exposes its location coordinates once a year.

Based on these considerations, Qin Feng set a time limit of at least one year for his stay in the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom.

He needs supplies.

At the same time, it also takes time to integrate one's current secret arts system.

He gained a great deal from the Battle of Twin Rivers.

The 30% increase in basic attributes from the [Twin Masks] and the "Mechanical Twin" ability, combined with the doubled basic attributes from the first spirit realm of the [Nine Spirits Origin Diagram], can unleash terrifying power when combined with his [Eternal Singularity] foundation. However, Qin Feng has not yet figured out the path to becoming a Domain Lord.

Especially the "Mechanical Twins," Qin Feng's research on the Mechanical Race was far too little, and the fact that he didn't inherit the "Wild" memories was a great loss.

Of course, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, there is also a core and crucial objective.

"I wonder if the reward for this mission, granted by the will of the universe—an intergalactic teleportation once a year—can be accumulated?"

Qin Feng's gaze was profound. "If this ability can be stacked, then staying here for a year means that the next time it's activated, I might be able to teleport twice in a row. If I can accumulate it for ten years, a hundred years... then it will be an ace in my hand that can instantly get rid of any pursuers."

This conjecture was of great importance to him.

For the past hundred years, he has not stopped for a single day, and he immediately initiates the teleportation every year.

One hundred teleportations traversed one hundred unfamiliar star systems, and now he was so far away from the Twin Rivers that the distance was terrifying and difficult to describe in numbers.

But Qin Feng knew perfectly well that the real danger never lay in the first half of the journey.

As he gets closer and closer to the destination, "Thunder Universe City," that area must have already been heavily fortified by the enemy.

The final hurdle is the most difficult and bloodiest chapter of this deadly mission.

At that point, any one of your trump cards could become the key to victory or defeat.

Having made up his mind, Qin Feng no longer hesitated.

He adjusted the form of the Ultimate Power Armor, making it more understated and ordinary, transforming it into an inconspicuous stream of light, silently merging into the ever-flowing interstellar shipping lanes of the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom, and flying towards its core capital planet.

……

The capital of the Crimson Feather Kingdom is a terraformed planet comparable in size to a giant planet. Its surface is shrouded in a layer of pale golden energy shield, upon which countless runes appear and disappear, radiating a chilling pressure.

This is undoubtedly a grand formation personally set up by a domain lord-level powerhouse, capable of withstanding ordinary interstellar disasters and invasions by foreign enemies.

Passing through the starport equipped with strict space monitoring, Qin Feng set foot on this land.

Upon entering, an aura completely different from that within the territory of the Human Empire immediately enveloped them.

The architecture here is more rugged and diverse, incorporating the characteristics of dozens of different races. Towering metal spires coexist with ancient and imposing rock temples. Anti-gravity flying cars shuttle on aerial tracks formed by energy light bands, while on the ground, huge alien beasts pull magnificent carriages slowly.

The energy permeating the air is complex yet vibrant, and the cosmic rules between heaven and earth seem to be more active.

Qin Feng's divine sense spread out quietly like mercury, and he quickly collected a large amount of information.

The prosperity here was no less than that of many imperial border cities he had seen before, which made him feel a sense of approval.

After making some inquiries, he confirmed his guess.

The Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom is indeed a nation dominated by the human race.

The ruler of the Cosmic Kingdom is named "Red Feather," and he is a genuine Domain Lord-level powerhouse.

Interestingly, this ruler of the Akabane Kingdom was not from the human empire.

He was a wild human born on the battlefield of myriad races. Without the support of imperial resources, he rose step by step from the bottom through his own perseverance and opportunities. In the end, relying on the mission system issued by the will of the universe, he fought his way out and became the domain lord.

"There are actually quite a few strong human beings like this."

Qin Feng understood.

The battlefield of myriad races is truly vast; even the "Holy Academy Sea" where they are currently located contains hundreds of millions of battle zones.

Although the human empire is powerful, it is far from being able to control the entire Holy Sea and bring every planet with human blood under its control.

Therefore, it is quite normal for such powerful independent human cultivators to emerge in those corners where imperial power has not yet reached.

Of course, when these independent cultivators grow to a certain level, such as establishing a vast power like a cosmic kingdom, they will inevitably establish contact with the human empire.

After all, the bond of kinship and shared interests is a natural connection.

The empire usually supports and courts these powerful members of its own race who are "outside the official ranks," and does not interfere too much in their internal affairs.

"Domain Lord..."

As Qin Feng pondered these two words, the teachings of his master, Devouring King, and mentor, Yu Han, came to mind.

"Tearing through space and traversing the sea of ​​stars are the essential requirements and hallmark abilities of a Domain Lord-level powerhouse. Only by mastering such power can one truly be called a hegemon of a region."

"Establishing a cosmic nation, founding academies and sects, forming a star pirate group that roams the stars, or representing an empire and leading a large group of traveling merchants and wanderers... the minimum cultivation level required for the leaders of these forces is Domain Lord."

"Therefore, the title 'Domain Lord' is less a name for a realm based on cultivation philosophy and more a title of respect for strength. It represents that you have the absolute power to dominate a star field."

As Qin Feng pondered, he strolled along the wide streets of the capital of Chiyu Kingdom.

He found the composition of the residents here to be very interesting.

About 70% of them were human warriors with black hair and black eyes. Their aura was slightly different from that of the humans within the empire. They were less disciplined and more fierce and wild, having struggled to survive in the wild.

The remaining 30% consist of alien beings from various races. Some of them have settled here for training, while others have already settled here and become part of the cosmic kingdom.

However, Qin Feng keenly noticed that beings from the top races of the universe, such as the Light Race, the Mechanical Race, and the Stone Race, were extremely rare here.

Even if one or two occasionally appear, they are mostly in a hurry, clearly just passing by for a short rest.

This shows that, against the backdrop of the battlefield of all races, even in a neutral cosmic nation, the invisible boundaries between racial factions still exist.

The capital city was well-planned, with clear divisions between residential areas, markets, and meditation areas.

The streets are lined with signs for martial arts schools, businesses, and sects, exuding vitality and energy.

Qin Feng traveled along the way, experiencing the atmosphere of cultivation here.

Planetary-level beings are the most common main force on the streets, forming the backbone of the entire cosmic kingdom.

A star-level expert is already considered a remarkable master, and they will be respected wherever they go.

As for galaxy-level beings, they are extremely rare. When one of them appears, it will draw whispers and awe-inspiring glances from the surrounding crowd.

As for the black hole level... Qin Feng wandered around here for half a day and only sensed a few obscure auras, all of which were located in the core area of ​​the capital and were obviously important figures.

As a black hole-level powerhouse who concealed his aura, he didn't seem out of place walking down the street.

"We need to replenish some supplies first, and then find a place to meditate quietly."

Qin Feng had a plan in mind.

He was unable to access the official trading network of the Human Empire.

Therefore, conducting trade in a place like the Akabane Universe Kingdom is the best choice.

His gaze swept across the room and quickly locked onto the most magnificent and imposing building. It was a palace entirely made of some kind of crimson crystal, with a huge plaque hanging above it, inscribed with three large, flamboyant characters in the universal language: Crimson Feather Trading Company.

The fact that it is named after the country's name is enough to demonstrate its official background and strong power.

Qin Feng straightened his black robe to make sure it concealed his face and figure before stepping inside.

The interior of the trading company is extremely large, employing advanced spatial folding technology, presumably the domain lord's doing.

Upon entering, it feels as if you have arrived in a separate starry sky, where countless rare treasures are sealed in crystal-like energy shields, adorning the space like stars.

The guests who came and went were all wealthy and powerful, and their presence was quite imposing.

Qin Feng's appearance did not cause any ripples.

Although he deliberately concealed his aura, making it impossible for others to discern his true nature, this kind of attire was all too common on the battlefield of all races.

Soon, a female human warrior dressed in a proper waitress uniform, with a cultivation level at the peak of the planetary stage, greeted them with a professional smile.

"Sir, welcome to the Akabane Trading Company. May I ask how I can assist you?"

Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her eyes revealed shrewdness and competence.

Being able to serve as a receptionist in a top-tier business in the universe country, one's discernment is naturally extraordinary.

They've seen plenty of guests like Qin Feng who deliberately conceal their identities.

These people are either burdened with a deep-seated blood feud and are being hunted down;

Either they possess a great treasure and act discreetly.

But regardless of the reason, it all points to one thing—this mysterious man in black robes is no ordinary person.

No creature that can cause trouble and still live a good life is weak.

Therefore, she gave Qin Feng enough respect.

"I need some supplies, and I also need to get rid of some things."

Qin Feng's voice was processed, sounding somewhat hoarse and deep, "It would be best to barter, but if that's not possible, you can use your local currency."

"Of course, sir."

The waiter smiled and nodded. “Our trading company accepts all forms of transactions. However, I have a better suggestion. In a year, our company will be holding an auction, where many rare and precious items will be on display. The auction will be settled using ‘Crimson Feather Coins.’ If you’re not in a hurry, you can deposit your goods with our company for appraisal and exchange them for Crimson Feather Coins. Participating in the auction might bring you unexpected gains.”

"You can also have the items auctioned on your behalf."

"auctions?"

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat. This was a good opportunity; he could get rid of the "junk" he had and also see if there were any useful items.

He is now incredibly wealthy, and the spoils he gained from the battle of the Twin Rivers are enough to make any black hole-level powerhouse envious.

"can."

Qin Feng agreed succinctly.

Upon hearing this, the waiter's smile widened, and he respectfully led Qin Feng to a VIP room located deep within the trading company.

The VIP room is elegantly furnished and equipped with powerful barriers to prevent detection.

After serving Qin Feng a fragrant tea containing pure energy, the waiter stood quietly to the side, waiting for Qin Feng to display his goods.

Qin Feng didn't waste any words; he did indeed have quite a bit of "junk" in his hands. Most of it was scraped from the corpses of those fallen powerhouses during the millennium of battles in the Twin Rivers.

Among them were numerous corpse remains, fragments of secret treasures, and many rare alloys of considerable quality.

These things were of little use to him.

His weapon "Star Devourer" and armor "Limit" are both Heavenly Evolution Weapons, capable of self-growth. He doesn't care about these "leftovers" at all, showing that he is extremely "picky".

However, for other black hole-level powerhouses, these materials are coveted treasures.

With a thought, Qin Feng took out a metal block about the size of a human head from the subspace storage unit. It was completely black, but its surface was dotted with starlight.

"Do you buy this?"

He casually placed the metal block on the jade table in front of him, making a dull thud.

The waiter only glanced at it, and his breath caught in his throat!
As a senior receptionist at the Akabane Trading Company, her discerning eye had long been honed to perfection.

At a glance, she recognized the origin of the metal—it was “Void Star Iron,” which was powerful enough to forge black hole-level treasures!
Moreover, the quality is extremely high!

This level of alloy is a strategic resource in the entire Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom; even a small piece would be enough to attract countless black hole-level beings to fight over it.

She suppressed her shock and was about to ask Qin Feng how many there were when she heard Qin Feng continue:

"This thing, similar to this one, is about... the size of several medium-sized stars."

"In addition, there are many corpses of black hole-level beings from various races, fragments of secret treasures, and all sorts of other things."

"what?!"

This time, the waiter could no longer remain calm.

Her eyes widened, filled with disbelief and horror, and her rosy lips parted slightly, unable to close for a long time.

Her mind went blank, and she almost thought she was hallucinating.

Several... medium-sized star-sized... black hole-level alloys?

What is this concept?
The mass and volume of a medium-sized star are already astronomical figures.

Such a massive amount of top-tier strategic resources, let alone in the Red Feather Universe Kingdom, would be enough to ignite a black hole-level bloodbath even in the surrounding dozens of universe kingdoms!
The waiter swallowed unconsciously, his throat dry.

The way she looked at Qin Feng again had completely changed.

It was no longer a professional respect, but a heartfelt awe of an unimaginable, terrifying being.

If Qin Feng's words are true, then Qin Feng's strength is probably at the extreme black hole level, close to that of a domain lord!

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the waiter's voice trembled slightly, a mixture of extreme excitement and a touch of nervousness.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and bowed respectfully to Qin Feng, adopting an extremely humble posture.

“Sir, the level of transaction you’re referring to is far beyond my capabilities. In fact, even the head of our bank wouldn’t have the authority to handle such a massive resource exchange.”

The waiter's voice was slightly hoarse from the emotional turmoil as he continued, "This matter must be decided personally by Vice President Lin of our Akabane Trading Company. Vice President Lin happens to be in charge of the capital's headquarters today. Would you do me the honor of accompanying me to the inner hall?"

Her words were earnest, and her eyes were filled with expectation and awe.

She knew very well that the mysterious man in black robes before her was a super-powerful figure beyond her wildest imagination.

If she could successfully introduce this deal through him, the benefits she would receive would be immeasurable. "No problem."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion.

For him, it was just a routine transaction, getting rid of some "leftovers" that he didn't need.

The reason he felt a strong affinity for the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom was not only because it was a territory shared by humans, but also because, more profoundly, most of the cultivators he saw under this starry sky had black hair and black eyes, and their figures and appearances bore a striking resemblance to his homeland deep in his memory—the star sector under the jurisdiction of the Limitless Battle Group, and even the more distant Morning Star.

This sense of warmth made him unconsciously suppress the cold killing intent he had accumulated over thousands of years of conquering the universe, and he became much gentler in his interactions with others.

The waiter, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, quickly led the way.

Instead of taking the usual, busy passageway in the main hall, she opened a hidden door in the wall.

Behind the door was not a corridor, but a dazzling array of spatial teleportation devices.

"My lord, please."

The waiter bowed and gestured for the waiter to enter.

As Qin Feng stepped inside, he felt the light and shadows shift before his eyes, and a gentle spatial force enveloped his entire body.

This is not long-distance interstellar teleportation, but a high-level technology that folds space short distances within a building, which is enough to prove the strength of the domain lord Chiyu behind the Chiyu Trading Company.

After a short-distance teleportation, the surrounding environment also undergoes drastic changes.

From the initial hustle and bustle, it gradually transitions to an ultimate tranquility and solemnity.

The energy particles permeating the air became increasingly pure and concentrated, even forming wisps of pale white spiritual mist visible to the naked eye.

The corridor's materials changed from ornate metals and jade to a strange, deep black rock that could absorb all light and divine sense.

Finally, the waiter stopped in front of a huge door carved from a single piece of spatial crystal.

He straightened his robes, his expression becoming extremely solemn, and stepped forward to gently knock three times.

"Vice President Lin, distinguished guest has arrived."

She reported in a low voice.

The door silently opened inward, like melting ice and snow, revealing a strange world behind it.

The waiter bowed again and led Qin Feng inside.

The sight before him made Qin Feng raise an eyebrow slightly.

This is not a room, but a vast and boundless space that has been forcibly carved out.

Beneath their feet was a white jade platform suspended in the void. On the platform, there were pavilions, towers, bridges, streams, exotic flowers and rare plants, all of which were present, making it seem like a fairyland.

In the distance lies the deep cosmic sky, where stars, seemingly moved here by some great force, have transformed into points of light in this space, radiating a soft glow.

In the center of this space, inside an elegant pavilion, two martial artists stood facing each other.

One of them, dressed in a brocade robe, with a refined and scholarly appearance and an aura as deep as the sea, was the master of this place, a genuine black hole-level being.

The other was a woman with a graceful figure and extremely beautiful face. She wore a tight-fitting combat suit that outlined her breathtaking curves, and her long silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her cultivation had reached the peak of the Stellar level, and she was currently bowing slightly, reporting something to that Black Hole level being.

When Qin Feng's gaze swept over the stellar-level female warrior, he couldn't help but pause slightly, a faint hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He found the face somewhat familiar.

Memories flooded back. It was thousands of years ago, when he was still at the Canaan Star Martial Arts Academy, about to graduate, when he received a special graduation mission—to travel to a newly civilized planet called "Blue Star" and sow the seeds of imperial martial arts.

On that planet, a world-ending crisis of colossal beasts is looming.

At that time, the strongest guardians of the human civilization on Earth were five warriors who were revered as "Chiefs".

The stunningly beautiful female warrior before them was none other than the woman codenamed "Phantom Fox" from among the five chief warriors of that time.

Qin Feng still clearly remembers that when he saw that these five chief disciples had mixed foundations and were covered in hidden injuries, out of a desire to cherish their talents and to establish good relations, he personally took action and used the "Ten Perfect Hands" to sort out the energy in their bodies and rebuild their martial arts foundations.

Unexpectedly, a seed that was casually sown back then has now grown to the size of a star and appeared in this distant universe of the battlefield of all races.

Upon seeing Qin Feng and the waiter enter, Vice President Lin, who was at the Black Hole level, raised his hand, and Huanhu, who was reporting on his work, immediately understood.

She turned and left.

As she brushed past Qin Feng, she merely nodded politely, failing to recognize the mysterious man completely shrouded in a black robe and a barrier of spiritual energy.

This is understandable, as Qin Feng's life level and aura have undergone tremendous changes. In addition, he deliberately conceals his true appearance, so unless a domain lord-level expert uses their primordial spiritual power to forcibly investigate, no one can see his true face.

Qin Feng had no intention of acknowledging her.

For him, that experience was just a small episode in his long life, a chance encounter that ended when the connection was over.

Seeing his old friend safe and sound and greatly enhanced in strength, he felt only a faint sense of emotion. He was moved that his casual act of kindness back then had actually changed the course of a person's destiny and shaped a star-level being who could be considered a powerful being in the universe.

This is cause and effect, mysterious and interesting.

Once the phantom fox's figure disappeared into the spatial ripples, the guide stepped forward and bowed deeply to Vice President Lin.

"Vice President Lin, who is this gentleman...?"

She was halfway through her sentence when she realized she didn't know Qin Feng's name, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"My surname is Qin."

Qin Feng spoke at the opportune moment, his voice calm and even.

The waiter quickly replied, "This Lord Qin has a large amount of resources that he wishes to exchange for 'Crimson Feather Coins,' the currency of our Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom, to participate in the upcoming Crimson Feather Auction."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Vice President Lin shifted his gaze from the jade slip in his hand to Qin Feng.

His gaze was calm, yet it carried a penetrating, scrutinizing quality.

As a black hole-level powerhouse and the vice president of a top-tier business guild, he has seen countless powerful individuals and has long since developed a keen eye for discerning people.

Unable to detect Qin Feng's spiritual power, he was shocked to realize that the black-robed man with the surname "Qin" before him possessed an aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, and was definitely a powerful individual.

"Sir, may I ask where you come from? Do you have any proof?"

Although Vice President Lin's tone was polite, his caution was not concealed.

This was not an intentional attempt to make things difficult. It was simply that the situation in the Akabane Universe Kingdom had become quite complicated recently.

Although the ruler of the country, Chi Yu, is a domain lord who can suppress a region, he has been gone for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are even rumors that he has perished.

Recently, several alien universe nations surrounding the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom have been making frequent moves, mobilizing troops and generals, and many unfamiliar powerful individuals have poured into the Crimson Feather Kingdom's capital, creating a turbulent undercurrent.

Especially with this once-in-a-millennium mega-auction approaching, a mixed bag of people, he had to be extra careful, scrutinizing every powerful stranger who might cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng did not produce any token representing his identity, but simply smiled faintly and uttered four words:

"Praise be to the Emperor."

These four words hold extraordinary significance within the human realm.

It is not just a slogan, but a spiritual imprint and a certification of identity.

For warriors who are truly loyal to the human race and the emperor, when they utter these words, their mental fluctuations will resonate slightly with the emperor's will, which covers the entire territory of the human race.

This resonance is something that can never be imitated by alien beings, Chaos believers, or treacherous human traitors.

If they forcibly imitate, their impure and mixed spiritual power will not only fail to resonate, but will also clash with the emperor's will, which is as bright as the sun. Like fireflies in the darkness, they will be instantly identified.

For powerful individuals with profound cultivation, this kind of identification is especially clear.

As expected, when Qin Feng uttered those four words, Vice President Lin's slightly scrutinizing gaze softened instantly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

"So you're a fellow countryman of the Empire! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

He stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Feng. "Excellent, excellent! Please don't take offense, there's a real reason for this. Recently, there have been many frictions between several neighboring cosmic nations and my Chiyu, and some greedy human scoundrels have even colluded with alien races in secret, plotting treacherous schemes."

With a major auction approaching, we have no choice but to take this cautious approach to ensure everything goes smoothly. We hope for your understanding.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

He understood the truth of the matter in an instant.

The so-called "friction with neighboring countries" and the so-called "alien races" are most likely aimed at him.

The "Path to the End" mission, planned by the will of the universe, has a fixed route, and only Qin Feng needs to strictly adhere to it.

However, for the enemies who have accepted the mission to hunt them down, there are no restrictions on their routes.

They could easily unite with surrounding forces along his inevitable route to lay a trap and form a massive encirclement.

This Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom was an important node on his route, and naturally became a key area for enemy ambushes.

It seems that the century of peace following the Battle of Twin Rivers was merely the calm before the storm.

The bloody battle is about to begin.

While his mind raced, Qin Feng remained outwardly calm, simply nodding slightly to indicate his understanding.

"Please have a seat, Your Excellency."

Seeing that Qin Feng didn't seem to mind, Vice President Lin felt relieved.

With a warm wave of his hand, a gentle energy condensed into a black futon beside Qin Feng.

At the same time, he took out a simple, unadorned spatial ring and handed it over.

Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down cross-legged to accept the spatial ring.

Without further ado, he used his divine sense to begin transferring the "spoils of war" from his subspace storage unit.

These things were accumulated by him during thousands of years of fighting in the Twin Rivers.

The largest portion consists of the corpses and fragments of fallen black hole-level and galaxy-level beings, as well as the shattered remains of their secret treasures.

Another part consists of various rare alloys that were "disliked" by the two Heavenly Evolution Weapons, "Star Devourer" and "Limit".

These things were of little use to him; they were tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

But for a cosmic nation, it is an immeasurable wealth.

Soon, Qin Feng put all the miscellaneous items he considered unnecessary into the spatial ring and casually tossed it back to Vice President Lin.

"They're all inside. Please check them."

"it is good."

Vice President Lin accepted the ring with a smile, looking confident and assured.

He has extensive experience in handling such large-scale transactions.

However, the moment his mental energy probed into the spatial ring, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The next moment, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his body, which had been sitting steadily on the futon, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and horror!

What did he see?
Mountains of corpses from all races!
Each piece of debris exuded a terrifying aura, whether violent, chilling, or sacred; without exception, they were all the remains left behind by black hole-level beings after their death!
Among them were even a few relatively intact corpses. The residual aura on the corpses alone made him, a fellow black hole-level powerhouse, feel his heart pound with fear!

And those fragments of secret treasures!

Tens of thousands of fragments piled up into small mountains, each shimmering with spiritual light and containing a powerful spiritual energy field.

With a quick glance, he recognized that many of them were formed from the shattered black hole-level treasures, and some even had materials that reached the level of mid-level black hole treasures!
What shocked him the most was the massive amount of alloy floating like a nebula on the other side of the spatial ring!

There are many types of alloys, each of which is extremely precious and is the core material for refining black hole-level treasures.

As for their total volume... Vice President Lin only made a rough estimate and came to a conclusion that made his scalp tingle - the total volume of these alloys was so large that it was comparable to four medium-sized stars!

Has... has this completely wiped out a battlefield where some black hole-level powerhouses gathered?!
The mysterious "Qin" surnamed powerhouse before us has single-handedly slaughtered so many beings of the same level.

Vice President Lin's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

He forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Feng again had completely changed.

It was no longer an equal examination and politeness, but rather filled with heartfelt admiration, awe, and even... a hint of barely concealed fear.

Even black hole-level beings are worlds apart.

In the generally accepted understanding of the battlefield of all races, black holes can be roughly divided into four levels:
The first level is the "initial entry into a black hole level".

As the name suggests, they have just broken through and their foundation is just beginning to take shape. They are not yet proficient in using the power of the black hole level, nor have they mastered any decent secret techniques. They have very few trump cards and are "newcomers" among black hole level beings.

The second level is the "ordinary black hole level".

These beings have been immersed in the black hole level for some time, mastering some common black hole-level secret techniques, beginning to explore all kinds of knowledge about the universe, accumulating many trump cards, and are the backbone of the black hole level. He himself is at this level.

The third level is "black hole level powerhouse".

To reach this level, one must either master one or even several powerful advanced black hole techniques, possessing exceptional combat strength;
They either possess profound expertise in a particular field, such as formations, potions, weapon crafting, or spatial knowledge, and their methods are unpredictable.

Another special case is the peerless geniuses who have been carefully nurtured by the human empire and have forged the Dao foundation of the [Eternal Singularity]. Once they advance to the Black Hole level, their unreasonable physical qualities and spiritual power alone will allow them to directly rank among the "Black Hole level powerhouses".

As for the fourth level, it is the legendary "ultimate black hole level".

These beings are all ancient monsters who have been immersed in the black hole level for millions of years or even longer. They possess countless secret techniques and numerous trump cards, their understanding of the laws has reached a state of perfection, and their strength is so formidable that they can easily escape from the hands of a domain lord. They are the true peak combat power below the domain lord.

At this moment, Vice President Lin was almost certain that the seemingly calm man in black robes surnamed Qin was definitely a terrifying existence at the fourth level—the ultimate black hole level!

In the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom and the surrounding area, apart from the elusive Crimson Feather Kingdom Lord, the Limit Black Hole level is the supreme combat power that walks in the world; it is myth and legend!

Upon realizing this, Vice President Lin dared not be negligent in the slightest, and even unconsciously changed how he addressed Qin Feng.

"Senior...Senior."

He spoke cautiously, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of respect: "Senior, the value of your treasures is simply too great to be measured in Crimson Feather Coins."

If it were all converted into currency, it would likely cause financial turmoil throughout the entire universe.

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he made a suggestion: "Senior, I have a proposal."

As you can see, while these materials are all top-tier, they are still fragments. If you trust our Crimson Feather Trading Company, we are willing to use our greatest resources to ask His Majesty the King's first disciple—a grandmaster of weapon crafting who has also reached the ultimate black hole level—to integrate these materials for you, remove the dross, and refine them into a brand new black hole-level secret treasure.

Based on the quantity and quality of these materials, I dare to estimate that the final product will be at least a mid-level black hole treasure, and may even have the potential to reach a high-level one!

He looked at Qin Feng and continued, "After the treasure is refined, you can choose to use it yourself, or you can choose to have our company sell it on your behalf at this auction."

If it's a reseller arrangement, since we provide the weapon refiner and the platform, we'll need to take a 20% commission as payment. What do you think, senior?

This proposal is truly sincere.

The value of a treasure can be increased more than tenfold by refining scattered materials into a complete artifact.

The Red Feather Trading Company only takes 20%, which means that most of the benefits are given to Qin Feng. Their purpose is obviously to establish a good relationship with this mysterious extreme black hole level powerhouse.

"How long will it take to refine? Will it be ready for the auction?"

Qin Feng asked, as he was quite interested in the suggestion.

"Yes, yes! Absolutely!"

Vice President Lin quickly assured him, "The King's first disciple, 'Master Gu Hong,' is already a black hole-level weapon refiner. Refining a mid-level secret treasure is not a difficult task for him."

With sufficient materials, success can be achieved within a few months! There's still a year until the auction—more than enough time!

"So good."

After a moment's thought, Qin Feng made a decision.

He has no shortage of secret treasures now.

"Galactus" and "Limit" are sufficient.

"Then let's do as you say and sell it at the auction."

He added, "Also, please arrange a top-level meditation room for me; I need to stay here for a while."

"Of course! Of course! It's my duty as a junior!"

When Vice President Lin heard Qin Feng agree, he was so excited that his face lit up and he immediately stood up.

He personally put away the spatial ring that contained the astonishing wealth, then gestured for Qin Feng to follow, leading the way with a humble demeanor, saying, "Senior, please follow me. I will immediately arrange the best 'Heavenly' cave dwelling in the capital for you, ensuring that no one will disturb your cultivation!"
