High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 271 Qin Feng makes a move, instantly killing Li You, his fierce reputation shakes the stars!
Above the auction hall's dome, a star map composed of countless rare crystals simulated the swirling galaxies within the territory of the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom, its brilliance dazzling and dreamlike.

However, at this moment, this carefully crafted tranquility and beauty was completely shattered by heavy and rapid breathing.

All eyes, whether on the galaxy-level beings scattered throughout the hall or the black hole-level beings hidden in the various "Heaven"-shaped private rooms on the second floor, were fixed on the central exhibition platform.

There, eighty-one dark gold throwing knives, shaped like shooting stars, floated silently.

"One billion!"

"1.25 billion!"

"I'll offer 1.3 billion!"

The bidding was incessant, with almost no pause.

Throwing knives, as one of the most widely used ranged weapons among all races in the universe, are as versatile as guns, halberds, hammers, and axes.

A superior intermediate-level black hole treasure throwing knife is enough to elevate the combat power of any black hole-level being to a higher level.

Moreover, this set of "Meteor" throwing knives has as many as eighty-two restrictions, making it an absolute gem among mid-level black hole treasures, and only one step away from becoming a high-level treasure.

For ordinary black hole-level beings who cannot access high-level treasures, this is almost the ultimate goal they can pursue.

Prices are soaring like a rocket.

Soon, the bidding noise gradually subsided from its initial chaos.

Those beings with slightly less financial resources, such as those at the galaxy level or even those just entering the black hole level, could only helplessly give up and become spectators in this high-stakes gamble.

"Two billion!"

A deep, resonant voice came from room number ninety-seven, raising the price directly to a new round number.

This price is enough to buy a slightly inferior high-grade black hole treasure, showing that they are determined to get it.

A brief silence fell over the room.

"2.5 billion."

The silence didn't last long. A slightly hoarse voice rang out from room number twenty-two, concise yet filled with unwavering determination.

"Three billion."

However, before everyone could recover from the shock of the 2.5 billion, an even more domineering and arrogant voice came from room number eleven.

The owner of this voice was none other than Li You, the third general of the Lihe Universe Kingdom, who had previously had several bidding conflicts with Qin Feng.

The price soared from one billion to three billion in just a few minutes, and the intensity of the bidding made all the living beings present feel breathless.

"Three and a half billion."

The owner of room number 97 was clearly unwilling to give up.

"Four billion."

Li You's voice carried a hint of impatience and contempt, as if he were not shouting an astronomical figure that could buy a life-bearing planet, but a handful of insignificant sand.

When the price of four billion was announced, the entire room fell completely silent.

At this price point, only three competitors remain.

Li You in room number 11, the mysterious rogue cultivator in room number 22, and the unknown powerhouse in room number 97.

Without exception, they are all black hole-level beings, truly standing at the top of the pyramid in this universe.

However, even among black holes, there are vastly different differences.

Just when everyone thought an even fiercer price war was about to unfold, an incredibly terrifying mental pressure, like an invisible tide, suddenly erupted from room number eleven!

This oppressive aura, filled with savagery and violence, and carrying an irresistible will, instantly enveloped the entire auction hall.

click-

Inside the hall, countless jade teacups in the hands of living beings shattered in response.

Beings whose cultivation level is below the high-level of the galaxy level felt as if their soul fire was being gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe, turning their faces pale, and even slowing down their thinking.

This is the oppressive aura of a powerful black hole being!
"Fellow Daoists, I really like this set of weapons."

Li You's voice rang out again, this time without any pretense, filled with a naked threat, "Don't try to compete with me, give me, Li You, some face."

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to resonate deep within everyone's soul.

The mental pressure was like a tangible giant wave, crashing wave after wave against the protective arrays of rooms number 22 and 97.

Inside room number 22, the dimly lit bidding light flickered a few times before finally going out completely.

A faint sigh escaped from within, filled with resentment and helplessness.

He was just a rogue cultivator, and it was already an incredible stroke of luck for him to have cultivated to the level of an ordinary black hole. He really had neither the resources nor the courage to offend a powerful black hole being from a powerful cosmic nation whose strength far surpassed his own.

It's not worth risking your life and future cultivation path for a mere set of secret treasures.

Seeing Number Twenty-Two back down, Li You's lips curled into a cruel smile.

His gaze, or rather, his domineering and unparalleled mental power, was entirely focused on his only remaining opponent—room number ninety-seven.

"Li You, isn't your behavior a bit too domineering?"

The owner of room number 97 was clearly a man of principle; his voice was filled with anger as he tried to resist the oppressive aura.

"overbearing?"

Li You seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, "In this starry sky, strength is the only rule! You are not qualified to reason with me!"

"Humph!"

A cold snort, like a sharp sword formed from the coldest ice in the netherworld, instantly pierced through the barrier of space!
A golden spiritual force, almost invisible to the naked eye, condensed into a line and pierced towards room number ninety-seven with unimaginable speed.

The defensive array surrounding the private room only flickered for a moment before being instantly pierced as if it were made of paper.

"puff!"

A muffled groan of pain, barely suppressed, came from room number 97.

Immediately afterwards, the previously strong atmosphere in the private room instantly weakened, and there was no sound at all.

Clearly, he had been defeated in this battle of mental strength and had suffered considerable injuries.

Giving up was his only option.

The entire auction hall was deathly silent.

All living beings, whether seated in the audience or watching from other private rooms, turned their gaze toward room number eleven, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was fear, disdain, and anger, but no one dared to stand up and say a word.

So what if I feel ashamed?

In this dog-eat-dog universe, strength is everything.

Li You used the most direct and brutal method to demonstrate to everyone what the majesty of a "strong-level black hole creature" is.

"Ha ha……"

Li You let out a low laugh, full of the smugness and arrogance of a victor.

He slowly pressed the bidding button, and a new price appeared on the central screen.

Four billion and one Red Feather Coins.

Only one Red Feather Coin was added.

This is no longer a bidding process; it's a blatant humiliation.

He was telling everyone in this way that he was determined to have this treasure, and that he didn't want to pay an extra Crimson Feather Coin.

On the exhibition stand, beneath the veil of the phantom fox, her brows were furrowed.

As the chief auctioneer of the Akabane Trading Company, she had presided over countless grand auctions, but she had never encountered such an unreasonable and domineering situation.

The other party used its power to intimidate and forcibly stop the normal bidding, which was undoubtedly a blatant provocation against the rules of the Chiyu Trading Company and even the entire Chiyu Universe Kingdom.

But what could she do?

The opponent was a powerful black hole being, and even the same level expert in room number 97 was severely injured by it. She, a peak star level being, was no different from an ant in front of it.

Taking a deep breath, Huanhu forcibly suppressed the helplessness and humiliation in his heart, and in as calm a voice as possible, proceeded with the final pricing process according to the rules.

"VIP number eleven has bid 4 billion and 10 billion Crimson Feather Coins... once..."

Her voice echoed in the empty, silent hall, sounding particularly weak.

"Second time..."

All living beings held their breath, knowing that once the word "three times" was uttered, this priceless "Meteor" throwing knife set would fall into the hands of the domineering Li You in a manner that was almost like snatching.

However, just a moment before Huanhu was about to shout "three times".

A calm, cold voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, emanated clearly from VIP room number one, resounding in the ears of every living being.

"Five billion."

boom!
The entire venue seemed to have been hit by a mental bomb, instantly erupting in excitement!
All eyes immediately shifted from Room 11 to Room 1, which had maintained its mystery and low profile from beginning to end!
crazy!

Someone actually dared to openly challenge Li You's authority at this time! And with just one word, they raised the price by nearly a billion!
Inside room number eleven, the previously smug and domineering aura instantly froze.

The next second, an even more violent and murderous mental pressure, like a mental tsunami, swept towards Room Number One!

"My friend, you've been targeting me, Li You, do you have a death wish?!"

Li You's voice was extremely cold, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with undisguised murderous intent.

He wasn't even interested in asking who the other person was. In his view, any living being that dared to defy his will had only one fate—death!
The terrifying pressure, like a massive ship carrying tens of thousands of tons, slammed into VIP room number one.

However, a horrifying scene unfolded.

The terrifying pressure, powerful enough to severely injure ordinary black hole-level beings and cause the souls of countless galaxy-level beings to collapse, vanished without a trace as soon as it reached three meters in front of Room Number One.

It didn't cause a ripple, didn't create any disturbance, as if it had never happened.

Inside the private room, Qin Feng sat upright on a soft animal-skin chair, toying with a white jade wine cup in his hand, his expression calm.

"At an auction, the highest bidder wins; that's only fair."

He chuckled softly, his voice clearly carrying through the array, "If you want it, then offer a higher price. Using intimidation to suppress people is rather low-class."

Qin Feng's voice was calm, yet it contained an undeniable confidence.

Li You's pupils suddenly contracted.

He couldn't sense Qin Feng's exact strength, but the fact that the other party could so easily neutralize his mental attack meant that his strength was at least that of a powerful black hole being of the same level as him!

When did such a powerful and unfamiliar figure appear in the Akabane Universe Kingdom?
"good very good!"

Li You laughed angrily, "Since you are so wealthy, then this general will play along with you!"

He was seething with murderous intent, but outwardly he chose to continue bidding.

"Six billion!"

Li You angrily announced a new price.

"Six billion and one".

Qin Feng's voice remained calm and unhurried, as if he were merely engaging in a boring numbers game.

This "zero-one" price increase method was exactly the same tactic Li You had used to humiliate everyone earlier, and Qin Feng was now returning it exactly as it was used. The sarcasm in it was self-evident.

"you wanna die!"

Li You flew into a rage and smashed the jade table in the private room to dust with a single slap.

Seven billion!

He gritted his teeth and quoted another exorbitant price.

He didn't believe the other party could keep up!
This far exceeds the value of the treasure itself!
However, he still received the same response that infuriated him.

"Seven billion and one".

The atmosphere inside the venue had become extremely tense.

Everyone understood that this was no longer a simple bidding war, but a head-on clash of will and dignity between two powerful black hole beings!
Li You's eyes turned bloodshot, and his energy began to dissipate uncontrollably.

The reason he dared to raise the price so recklessly, even demanding a price far exceeding the value of the treasure itself, was because he never intended to pay in the first place!
His purpose in coming here was to test the strength and weakness of the Akabane Universe Kingdom, on the orders of the Lord of the Power Union Universe Kingdom.

Legend has it that the stabilizing force of the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom, its ruler who was at the level of an extreme black hole, had already perished in some perilous place.

Within the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom, apart from the Lone Goose Refining Master who is not skilled in combat, there are no other beings at the Limitless Black Hole level.

If he can snatch all the final items at the Akabane Trading Company's auction today and then leave unscathed.

Then, the news of the fall of the Akabane lord can be confirmed.

Because in the entire Akabane Kingdom, only the Akabane King could stop him.

At that time, the army of the Power Union Universe Kingdom will be at the city gates in an instant and completely annex this rich star field!
He, Li You, was the spark that ignited this national war!
"Eight billion!"

"Eight billion and one".

Nine billion!

"Nine billion and one".

"Ten billion!"

"One hundred billion and one".

When Qin Feng casually announced the price of "10 billion and 1," the last string in Li You's heart snapped completely.

He felt like a clown being repeatedly mocked.

"enough!"

A deafening roar erupted from room number eleven!

Boom——! ! !
The seemingly indestructible barrier of the "Heaven" private room shattered instantly like fragile glass in the face of Li You's violent power!
A dazzling golden stream of light, carrying a world-destroying power, burst forth from it!

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!

The entire auction hall was violently distorted and groaning. The star map above the dome shattered instantly, and countless rare building materials turned to ashes under the terrifying pressure.

The solid ground cracked inch by inch, revealing the bottomless void below.

The hundreds of thousands of galaxy-level beings in the venue were like a small boat in a raging storm before the unrestrained pressure released by this powerful black hole being.

Those who were slightly weaker didn't even have time to scream before being crushed by the terrifying pressure, coughing up blood and losing consciousness.

Li You's goal was crystal clear from the very beginning!

His figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt, heading straight for the "Meteor" throwing knife on the central display stand!

At the same time, his immense spiritual power transformed into an invisible hand, grabbing at the ethereal fox beside the exhibition stand, who was already terrified and pale-faced—and the spatial ring on her finger that contained all the final auction items!

He wanted more than just the "Meteor" throwing knife; he wanted everything!
"Be bold!"

"How dare you, Zhu Zi!"

Several angry shouts came from the back of the auction hall.

Several auras, also at the black hole level, shot into the sky, led by Vice President Lin, transforming into streaks of light, attempting to intercept the suddenly rising Li You.

They were officially dispatched here by the Akabane Universe Kingdom to maintain order at the auction.

However, they are just ordinary black hole-level beings.

"A bunch of chickens and dogs, how dare you block my way? Get out of my way!"

Li You didn't even turn around; he simply waved his hand back.

A golden beam of energy swept out, tearing space apart like a piece of cloth.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Those few Black Hole-level warriors from the Crimson Feather Kingdom who charged out with great momentum were unable to withstand even a single breath in front of that golden streak. They were struck as if by a heavy hammer, coughing up blood and flying backward, instantly defeated!

Vice President Lin coughed up blood, his eyes filled with despair.

Li You's strength is simply too great.

"Hahaha! The Akabane Universe Kingdom is indeed all bark and no bite!"

Li You was overjoyed and no longer had any scruples.

He appeared in front of Huanhu in an instant, his greedy and cruel eyes fixed on the spatial ring on her finger.

"Little thing, hand over the spatial ring."

A sinister sneer clung to Li You's face. "I don't want to accidentally damage the treasures inside while I'm crushing you." A surge of golden spiritual energy, like a venomous snake, shot out and transformed into chains that instantly coiled around the Illusion Fox's neck.

A chilling, bone-chilling threat of death instantly enveloped the entire body of the phantom fox.

Her delicate body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, her blood seemingly frozen. She could clearly feel that with just a single thought from the other party, her soul would be utterly crushed.

However, beneath the extreme fear, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the phantom fox.

"No!"

She neither begged for mercy nor resisted, but silently closed her eyes.

In the instant she closed her eyes, she frantically poured all her spiritual power into the spatial ring on her fingertip, entangled tightly with the core restriction of the ring.

She prepared for the worst.

If she dies, this spatial ring will self-destruct due to the collapse of its core restrictions, and all the treasures inside will be swept into the spatial turbulence, and no one will be able to get them!
"Oh? Interesting."

Upon seeing this, Li You not only did not get angry, but instead let out a sickly laugh.

"Hahahaha—you've got character! I love spirited horses! Perfect, I'm missing a female slave like you!"

"You are mine now!"

Having said that, he stopped wasting words and reached out his huge hand to grab Huanhu, intending to kidnap her along with the spatial ring.

The entire venue was deathly silent. All the surviving creatures watched this scene with horrified eyes, but no one dared to offer a helping hand.

However, just as Li You's hand was about to touch Huanhu...

A similarly cheerful voice suddenly rang out in the space.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The laughter, though not loud at first, possessed a strange penetrating power, clearly reaching the ears of every living being.

Then, the laughter grew louder and louder, until it was like thunder, echoing throughout the broken venue!

"Li You, do you have any last words?"

The gazes of countless beings, following the source of the sound, converged on the direction of VIP room number one.

From the ruins that had long since crumbled, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged.

He was dressed in black, and his face was covered by an ancient mask, obscuring his features. But the eyes that peeked out through the holes in the mask were more profound than an abyss.

It was Qin Feng.

As he walked, he burst into loud laughter. With his laughter, a pressure far more terrifying, domineering, and primal than Li You's erupted from his body!
If Li You's oppressive aura is a raging, roaring golden river that can breach any dam, then...

Therefore, the pressure released by Qin Feng at this moment is a boundless, blood-red ocean containing barbarity and primal fear!
This oppressive force was no longer a simple mental pressure, but a mixture of the heaviness of the [Eternal Singularity], the vastness of the second level of the [Nine Spirits Origin Diagram], and the overwhelming baleful aura condensed after slaughtering countless living beings!

boom--! ! !
A surge of golden-red spiritual energy swept across the entire area in an instant!

Under this oppressive force, countless stellar-level beings who were still barely standing didn't even have time to utter a sound before their eyes rolled back and they almost lost consciousness.

Those galaxy-level powerhouses trembled in fear, like candles flickering in a storm.

Those black hole-level beings, whether they were the previously defeated retainers of the Crimson Feather Kingdom or the powerful figures hidden in other private rooms, all felt a shiver from the depths of their souls, and their faces instantly turned ashen!
Qin Feng's aura was far too domineering!
So domineering and completely unreasonable!
The golden pressure that Li Youna originally shrouded the entire area melted away and vanished in an instant in the face of this sea of ​​gold and red, just like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun!

"Gold... golden-red spiritual energy!"

"It's him! It's definitely him! The ruthless Qin Feng!"

From within the crowd, someone let out a horrified scream, instantly igniting everyone's memories.

"Third on the Hidden Dragon Ranking! That monster who single-handedly confronted the ultimate black hole-level powerhouse 'Golden Wings' head-on without being defeated!"

"That's right! It's definitely him! Rumor has it that his spiritual energy quality transformed into a golden-red color due to some kind of fortuitous encounter! This disguised attire must be to evade pursuit!"

"Recently, dozens of cosmic nations around us have received orders from those great races, issuing the highest arrest warrant for the ferocious god Qin Feng! I never expected him to appear here!"

"Li You is finished! He's messed with a jinx he absolutely shouldn't have!"

The room was filled with a cacophony of whispers, gasps of surprise, and gasps of astonishment.

Every living being who knew of "Qin Feng the Fierce God's" exploits looked at Li You with pity in their eyes.

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

Li You froze on the spot, the ecstasy and ferocity on her face vanished, replaced by endless terror and disbelief.

He never imagined that the mysterious bidder he had casually provoked would actually be this infamous god of war who was renowned throughout the battlefield of all races!
The infamous third-ranked member of the Hidden Dragon List, the fierce god Qin Feng!
escape!
This was the only thought in Li You's mind!
Without hesitation, he abandoned the phantom fox and all the treasures, and turned to transform into a streak of light and escape.

However, would Qin Feng give him that opportunity?
"Trying to leave now? Too late."

Qin Feng's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

He didn't even move his feet, but simply slowly raised his right index finger.

At his fingertips, the golden-red spiritual energy began to compress and condense at an alarming speed.

The cosmic energy of the entire venue seemed to be drawn in, frantically converging towards his fingertips.

Black Hole-Level Secret Technique – "Inch of Light"!
hum-

A single, dazzling golden point of light, seemingly capable of piercing the vastness of the universe, took shape at his fingertips.

"Do not!!!"

Li You felt the threat of death, and sensed that the flame of her life was being locked by that point of golden light.

He let out a desperate roar, his soul trembling with fear.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, he frantically unleashed all his defensive treasures.

One by one, shields, armor, and jade talismans shimmering with various colors—more than a dozen low-level black hole treasures in total—flew out of his body as if they were free, layering up in front of him to form a seemingly indestructible defensive barrier.

However, all of this is in vain in the face of Qin Feng's current strength.

"go."

Qin Feng uttered a single word softly.

The golden glint at his fingertips vanished instantly.

The next moment, it appeared in front of Li You in a way that transcended thought and the speed of light.

Chi Chi!

laugh!laugh!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a series of soft sounds like cloth being torn.

Those dozen or so defensive treasures, enough to drive ordinary black hole-level beings to despair, were as fragile as window paper in the face of this "Inch of Light".

The first, the second, the third... all the defensive barriers were pierced through by that golden light without any hindrance, instantly collapsing and shattering!
Li You's horrified expression was forever frozen on his face.

puff.

A soft sound.

The unstoppable golden light finally struck his brow with perfect precision.

boom--

Li You's body shuddered violently. Then, his physical body and soul, like sand paintings being ignited, were annihilated inch by inch from the inside out, turning into the most primitive energy particles.

A powerful black hole being, along with his mighty soul, perished!
His corpse was about to collapse into an unstable miniature black hole under the influence of the rules.

Qin Feng had already anticipated this. With a thought, he activated the subspace storage unit, releasing a powerful suction force that directly absorbed all the energy remaining after Li You's demise, along with the broken fragments of the secret treasure.

From the moment Qin Feng made his move to the moment Li You was completely annihilated, the entire process took only a blink of an eye.

One blow, instant kill!

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone was utterly shocked by Qin Feng's clean, decisive, and domineering strike, and didn't even dare to breathe.

Qin Feng withdrew his finger, not even glancing at the void, as if he had merely crushed an insignificant insect.

The reason he didn't stop Li You the moment she made her move, but waited until the very last moment, was actually to see what choice this old friend with whom he had formed a good relationship back on Blue Star would make when faced with a life-or-death crisis.

The final, resolute decision of the phantom fox did not disappoint him.

He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the still dazed Phantom Fox, and calmly said, "The auction can continue."

……

The auction hall was deathly silent.

The terrifying energy fluctuations, powerful enough to tear stars apart and destroy fleets, slowly dissipated like the receding tide, but the lingering power they left behind weighed heavily on the hearts of every living being, like an invisible mountain.

The Fiend, Qin Feng.

This name, which rose like a comet on the [Hidden Dragon Ranking] and ranked third, overlooking all the geniuses of the myriad races, was, before today, merely a distant and fearsome legend to most of the beings in the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom.

They had heard of his fearsome reputation in the Twin Rivers and knew of his terrifying record of fighting head-on against the ultimate black hole-level powerhouse "Golden Wings" without being defeated.

However, legends are just legends.

The impact that words and images can convey is far less real than witnessing even a fraction of its power firsthand.

one strike.

Just one blow.

A seemingly ordinary golden stream of light, yet imbued with supreme killing intent, instantly erased Li You, the third general of the Lihe Universe Kingdom—a being considered a powerful being even among black hole-level beings—along with his physical body, soul, and all his defensive treasures, from this universe.

That wasn't a defeat, nor a severe blow, but a complete and utter "annihilation".

Even the final process of transforming into a miniature black hole was forcibly stopped, and all traces of its existence, along with the scattered fragments of the secret treasure, were cleanly and efficiently collected by that invisible hand.

What a domineering, tyrannical, and chilling power this is!

On the auction stage, Huanhu's body was still trembling slightly.

It wasn't out of fear, but rather from the relief of surviving a disaster and an indescribable excitement.

The cold, sticky, death- and humiliation-filled sensation of Li You's golden spiritual chains wrapped around her neck remained vividly in her mind's eye.

She was prepared to perish together with everything, sacrificing her own soul to destroy the spatial ring.

But she never expected that the black hole-level senior who had previously competed with Li You and whom she thought was equally domineering and unafraid of Li You's power would actually be the legendary "fierce god" Qin Feng.

I never imagined that he would take such drastic action for an auctioneer he didn't even know, and decide the outcome with a single blow.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging emotions, and solemnly bowed.

Having done all this, Huanhu straightened her back again, her eyes regaining their professionalism and composure.

"Distinguished guests, an unexpected incident just occurred, which may have startled you."

Her voice, amplified by the sound system, clearly resonated throughout the venue. Though tinged with a slight tremor of relief, it carried an even stronger sense of composure and dignity: "The Akabane Merchant Guild extends its sincerest apologies to all guests. As compensation, all successful bidders today will enjoy a 50% reduction in transaction fees."

"The auction will now continue."

Her words were powerful and quickly pulled the audience back from their stunned silence.

Many creatures nodded in approval, admiring the professionalism of the Illusion Fox and the Red Feather Trading Company's ability to respond.

"Next, the bidding for the final item, the Meteor Flying Knife, will resume."

Huanhu's gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on room number 97 in the Heavenly Pavilion. "Just now, the esteemed guest in room 97 bid up to 4 billion Crimson Feather Coins, but was forcibly interrupted by Li You using despicable means. According to the rules, we will use this price as the starting price, and the esteemed guest in room 97 will have priority in bidding. Would you still like to continue the auction?"

After a brief silence, a slightly weak but grateful voice came from room number ninety-seven: "Thank you, Senior Fierce God. I... I'm willing to offer four billion to acquire this [Meteor] set."

His voice was filled with lingering fear.

If Qin Feng hadn't intervened, he would not only have lost all hope of obtaining the treasure, but he would also have had his spiritual essence severely damaged by Li You. He could only swallow this humiliation.

Now that Li You is dead and his soul has vanished, he feels immense joy and his gratitude towards Qin Feng is beyond measure.

Huanhu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the room: "Guest number ninety-seven has offered forty billion Crimson Feather Coins. Are there any other distinguished guests willing to offer a higher price?"

There was silence in the venue.

No one dared to speak up anymore.

On the one hand, it's because Li You, their biggest competitor, has already turned to ashes.

On the other hand, and more importantly, everyone knows that the true owner of the materials for this set of [Meteor] throwing knives is the "fierce god" sitting in room number three.

Although Qin Feng entrusted the auction to a trading company, it meant that he did not care about the ownership of the item, but at this moment, who would dare to be so tactless as to interfere?
If Li You were to offend that being, his fate would serve as a cautionary tale.

Moreover, the bidder number ninety-seven had previously stood on the same side as Qin Feng, jointly resisting Li You's domineering behavior. Letting him win now is what everyone expected.

"Forty billion Crimson Feather Coins, once."

"Forty billion Crimson Feather Coins, twice."

"Forty billion Crimson Feather Coins, three times!"

"make a deal!"

The auction gavel in Huanhu's hand fell crisply, sealing the deal. "Congratulations to the distinguished guest in room 97! This set of intermediate-grade black hole treasures, the [Meteor] Flying Knives, personally crafted by Master Guhong and imbued with eighty-two restrictions, is yours!"

This prized artifact, which had sparked a bloody conflict, was ultimately settled in a nearly peaceful manner.

The subsequent auction proceeded exceptionally smoothly and quickly.

The remaining two final items were also the work of Master Gu Hong: one was a defensive armor called "Immovable Rock," and the other was a flight aid treasure called "Thousand Illusions," both of which were top-quality mid-level black hole treasures.

With the absence of troublemakers like Li You and the presence of a formidable figure like Qin Feng, the subsequent bidding proceeded in a civilized and orderly manner.

Several black hole-level beings, also from the VIP room, peacefully raised the price several times before each acquiring the two treasures, and the transaction prices stabilized within a reasonable range.

Qin Feng was not involved in this.

His [Limit] Power Armor and [Star Devouring] Spear are both Celestial Evolution Weapon Treasures that can grow, with limitless potential, far surpassing these standard treasures.

What Qin Feng needs are rare resources that can improve his foundation and the quality of his spiritual power, not these external things.

With the sale of the last item, this dramatic auction finally came to a close.

The guests began to leave one after another, their eyes occasionally glancing back, filled with awe and curiosity, wanting to catch a glimpse of the true face of the legendary "fierce god," yet daring not to be the slightest bit presumptuous.

Meanwhile, the news that "the fierce god Qin Feng appeared in the Crimson Feather Universe Kingdom and instantly killed Li You, the third general of the Lihe Universe Kingdom, with one strike" spread like an unstoppable super storm from the Crimson Feather Chamber of Commerce to all directions and even dozens of surrounding universe kingdoms, along with the communication requests from these departing beings.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the name "Qin Feng" will be the focus of attention that no force in this star field can avoid.

Those spies and powerful figures from various clans who had previously received orders to lay a trap along this route to hunt down Qin Feng are probably now having to reconsider whether they have the strength and courage to do so.

Qin Feng himself was completely unconcerned about the uproar that was about to erupt from the outside world.

His whereabouts were already under the surveillance of the cosmic will; the so-called "wanted notice" was nothing more than a self-deceiving trick by certain forces.

On this "path to the end," his relationship with his pursuers is that of hunter and prey, but it remains to be seen who is the hunter and who is the prey.

Being exposed to the Akabane Universe at this moment has no effect on him.

Instead of leaving immediately, he chose to return to the Heavenly Meditation Room that the Chamber of Commerce had arranged for him.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged, and with a thought, a jade bottle, completely black and radiating a chilling aura and rich spiritual energy, appeared in his palm.

It was he who bought the [Water of the Nine Nether Soul Spring] at the auction for two billion Crimson Feather Coins.

This item is a rare treasure of the universe, born in the core of certain special cosmic wastelands. It has incredible effects on nourishing the soul, purifying the spirit, and enhancing the quality of spiritual power.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng opened the bottle and drank the viscous liquid, which resembled black mercury, in one gulp.

An extreme chill, as if capable of freezing the soul, instantly erupted from his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, Qin Feng felt as if his consciousness had been dragged into a boundless, desolate, and wailing sea of ​​the underworld.

Countless fragments of his broken soul transformed into hideous ghostly figures, rushing towards his spiritual core one after another, attempting to assimilate and devour him.

"Humph."

Qin Feng's spiritual core, that dazzling "eternal singularity," only trembled slightly.

hum-

A grand hum, seemingly from the very beginning of the universe, resounded.
