High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 278 The Thirteenth Prince, the Blood-Red Forbidden Land, the Birth of the Stone Buddha!

He sat down cross-legged again, opened the jade bottle, and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

He then immediately activated the "Ten Perfect Hands" technique, beginning to fully absorb the medicinal power and restore the spiritual energy that had been depleted for three thousand years.

Qin Feng stood quietly by his side, protecting him, and the martial arts room returned to tranquility.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Feng Zhiyu was completely immersed in recovery.

The powerful absorption efficiency of the "Perfect Hand" combined with the top-tier resources given to him by Qin Feng allowed his mental strength to recover at an astonishing speed.

His once somewhat illusory, immortal tower gradually solidified under the nourishment of this energy, once again radiating the dazzling brilliance befitting a galaxy-level powerhouse.

Qin Feng was also observing.

He discovered that Feng Zhiyu's Immortal Tower was only about 30% complete.

This is an extremely slow speed.

It should be noted that Feng Zhiyu was only one year older than him, and only about a thousand years older.

Both of them were geniuses who fought their way out of the cosmic genius battle, and both forged their eternal foundation with the Canaan Sutra. Logically speaking, even if they didn't have as many fortuitous encounters as I did, they should have already touched the threshold of the black hole level by now.

But not only did he fail to break through to the black hole level, he also fell far behind in his own cultivation at the galaxy level.

There must have been some extraordinary changes that occurred during this process.

Three days later, when the last bit of the medicine had been completely absorbed, Feng Zhiyu finally opened his eyes.

His eyes no longer held the confusion and dejection of before; they regained their sparkle, and his entire being seemed refreshed.

Although his strength had not broken through, the confidence and sharpness that belonged to a genius had returned to him.

"Senior, what exactly has happened all these years?"

Qin Feng looked at him and finally asked the question that had been bothering him, "With your talent, why have you ended up in such a state?"

Feng Zhiyu sighed deeply, a hint of bitterness and reminiscence in his eyes.

"Well, it's a long story. Let me make it short."

He gathered his thoughts and began to recount his experiences over the years.

"When the Cosmic Genius Battle ended that year, I successfully advanced to the Star System level and ultimately achieved a ranking of ninety-second place, which also qualified me to enter the Battlefield of Myriad Races."

Like many others, I chose Thunder Cosmic City as the first stop on my journey. There, I trained, I fought, and my strength steadily improved.

Until… I fell in love with a woman named Yuexi.

When the name "Yuexi" was mentioned, Feng Zhiyu's eyes instantly softened, as if the entire martial arts room had brightened a little because of the name.

He recounted how he met, got to know, and fell in love with the winged woman, Yuexi.

Yuexi is the daughter of the ruler of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom, and has a noble status.

The ruler of Tianxuan Kingdom, the powerful winged race who advocated the concept of "universal harmony among all races," personally approved of the marriage between Feng Zhiyu, the human prodigy, and his daughter, believing it to be the best embodiment of his ideals.

But in terms of political reality, he could not accept it.

Once he publicly accepts a human prodigy with "Eternal Singularity" as his Dao foundation as his royal son-in-law, it will inevitably break the fragile balance of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom and bring about its annihilation.

Torn between ideals and reality, the ruler of Tianxuan Kingdom ultimately gave Feng Zhiyu a seemingly impossible test: to destroy the "Hidden Smoke Tower," a malignant tumor that had entrenched itself in the ancient Tianxuan Kingdom for many years.

"I accepted the test."

Feng Zhiyu's tone became heavy, "But I still underestimated the strength and foundation of Cangyanlou. While I was still gathering information on the outskirts, I was targeted by one of their Black Hole-level elders. In that battle, I fought with all my might, but I was still no match for them... and was eventually captured alive and branded with the mark of slavery."

“If you calculate the time, I was enslaved by them until the day you appeared, a full three thousand years. During these three thousand years, I became their tool, carrying out various tasks for them, conscious but without control of my own body. Naturally, my cultivation stagnated as a result.”

As Feng Zhiyu recounted his love story with Yuexi, he unconsciously emanated a strange energy fluctuation filled with extreme love and dedication.

The energy was pure and intense, as if it wanted to burn its own soul and dedicate it to the one it loved.

Feng Zhiyu himself was completely unaware of this fluctuation, but at this moment, one of the five skulls of the Chaos Evil Gods, which had been quietly suspended at Qin Feng's waist and concealed by a secret technique, flickered with an eerie purple light.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, so faint as to be almost nonexistent.

But Qin Feng caught it in an instant.

A sudden thought struck him.

Sinister!

Everyone in the universe knows that Slaanesh represents the ultimate desire, depravity, and pleasure.

But few people know that on the other side of these negative concepts, Slaanesh is also the god of love and devotion.

When a love is pure, passionate, and obsessive to the extreme, it will touch the realm of divine power.

Feng Zhiyu is very likely already being targeted by Slaanesh.

"love."

Qin Feng's mind raced, but his face remained impassive. He simply smiled and made no comment on Feng Zhiyu's past relationship.

He simply kept this matter and the strange fluctuations emanating from Feng Zhiyu in his heart.

He looked at Feng Zhiyu and steered the conversation back to reality: "So, senior, what are your plans next? Are you going back to the capital, or do you have other plans?"

"Let's go back to the capital first."

Feng Zhiyu's eyes hardened. "The Hidden Smoke Tower has been destroyed, and I have indirectly completed the King's test. But most importantly, I have been trapped for three thousand years, and I don't know how Yuexi is doing now. I must go back and see her."

"Alright."

Qin Feng nodded in understanding. "I'm also heading to the capital of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom. In that case, let's travel together. I have a flying shuttle that can carry both of us."

As he spoke, Qin Feng flipped his hand, and a jet-black, sleekly designed space shuttle appeared in the martial arts room.

This shuttle was a spoil of war he had obtained after killing a black hole-level expert. Although it had been affected by the battle and its brilliance had dimmed and there were several clear wear and scratches on its surface, its core was not damaged. It was still a low-grade black hole-level treasure of good quality, more than enough for navigating within the universe.

"Okay, thank you!"

Feng Zhiyu didn't stand on ceremony and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Feng.

Having reached an agreement, the two did not delay any longer. They left the "Zhenwu" martial arts school and quietly arrived in the skies above the city.

Qin Feng urged the flying shuttle forward, and the black treasure swelled in the wind, transforming into a streamlined ship a hundred meters long.

The hatch opened, and the two entered.

The next moment, the shuttle transformed into a black streak of light that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, tearing through the sky and speeding towards the capital of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom, a place where countless races gathered and where prosperity reigned supreme.

……

The Flying Shuttle is a trophy obtained from the remains of a fallen black hole-level powerhouse, classified as a low-grade black hole treasure.

Its body has smooth lines and is dark silver in color. Its surface is covered with fine scratches left from the previous battle and dim spots caused by energy impact. Its luster is restrained and no longer as brilliant as it was in its prime.

However, its core power unit and space stabilization array are still intact, making it more than sufficient as a means of transportation.

Qin Feng activated his spiritual power, and the tail of the shuttle spewed out a pale blue energy stream, silently merging into the deep cosmic background, transforming into a streak of light that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and sped towards the capital of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom.

The interior of the shuttle is not luxurious, with only a few cushions and a huge porthole that offers a panoramic view of the outside world.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. Part of his mind was focused on sorting out his own power and deducing the subsequent realms of the "Nine Spirits Yuan Diagram," while the other part transformed into an invisible domain, enveloping the vast star field around the flying shuttle, vigilant against any possible threats.

Feng Zhiyu, however, could not remain as calm as Qin Feng.

He sat by the porthole, his gaze fixed on the rapidly receding Milky Way outside. It was a magnificent spectacle that no mortal could ever imagine in their lifetime.

The magnificent nebulae stretch for light-years like splashes of oil paint; the dying red giant releases its last rays at the edge of the horizon, tinging the cold universe with a poignant warmth.

Occasionally, enormous cosmic beings made of pure energy, like giant whales in the deep sea, would slowly swim past beneath the shuttle, their massive bodies large enough to obscure the light of a star.

However, this magnificent sea of ​​stars is also filled with chaotic disorder and deadly danger.

In the first month of their journey, they encountered no fewer than ten waves of space pirates.

These desperate men, piloting cobbled-together, monstrous warships, surged forth from the shadows of the asteroid belt and the wreckage of abandoned space stations like sharks drawn by the scent of blood.

Their goal was clear: this seemingly extraordinary shuttle, which was sailing alone.

In the past three thousand years, if Feng Zhiyu had encountered such a situation, his only option would have been to carefully avoid it, or rely on experience and luck to deal with it in the complex cosmic environment. If he was not careful, he would have ended up losing his ship and his life.

But now, he doesn't even need to say a word to remind him.

Just as the first wave of pirate fleet completed its encirclement, before the ear-piercing sound of energy cannons charging could even ring out, an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly spread out from the shuttle.

That was not a simple mental attack, but a crushing force from a more fundamental and higher level of life.

In an instant, Feng Zhiyu clearly "saw" that the energy shields of those pirate warships were humming under the strain, and fine cracks were even appearing on the metal armor on the surface of the hull.

Inside the warship, the pirates, whose cultivation level was no higher than planetary, felt as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats. Their souls trembled, their bodies stiffened, and their eyes were filled with the purest fear stemming from their very survival instincts.

Their greed, ferocity, and the recklessness of desperados paled in comparison to this oppressive force, appearing as insignificant as dust.

"Om-"

The pirate fleet's engines roared deafeningly as they frantically turned their ships around at an even faster pace than they had come, fleeing the star field in a disheveled state, as if a second's delay would have resulted in them being crushed into dust by the invisible pressure.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Feng did not even open his eyes.

Feng Zhiyu opened his mouth, but in the end, all he could manage was a silent, bitter laugh.

It is a fundamental chasm between life itself, as different as fireflies and the moon, as different as clouds and mud.

Such scenes continued to unfold throughout the rest of the journey.

They passed through a "demon star field" corrupted by chaotic energy, inhabited by several ferocious beasts comparable to black hole-level powerhouses.

These strange beasts have no intelligence; they possess only the pure instinct to kill and devour.

When the aura of the flying shuttles intruded into their territory, they let out a roar that shook the stars, their enormous bodies stirring up the chaotic nebula and unleashing a surge of energy, ready to pounce and kill.

However, when Qin Feng's oppressive aura, imbued with golden-red spiritual power, poured down like a celestial river overflowing its banks, the roars of those arrogant cosmic beasts abruptly ceased.

Their massive bodies stiffened abruptly, then they all crouched down in the void, concealing all their claws and ferocity. Their huge heads drooped low, and low moans emanated from their throats—a sign of absolute submission to a higher-level predator.

The shuttle flew smoothly over their heads until it disappeared into the horizon. Only then did the ferocious beasts dare to cautiously raise their heads, their eyes filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.

Feng Zhiyu's mind had long been numb from all the sights and sounds he had witnessed along the way.

He witnessed two black hole-level powerhouses engaged in a life-or-death struggle. Upon sensing the aura of the flying shuttle, they simultaneously stopped fighting as if by telepathy and fled at high speed in opposite directions. It was as if their irreconcilable hatred had become insignificant in the face of Qin Feng, this "passing-by" fierce god.

He even saw that when the shuttle passed by a blazing star, inside that star, a Holy Spirit Fire Clan life form, which was still in its infancy and was being nurtured in the raging flames, instinctively felt fear after sensing Qin Feng's undisguised aura that was like a black hole devouring everything.

Under the faint influence of that will, that enormous star actually underwent an extremely small deflection that defied the laws of physics, as if it wanted to move itself off its predetermined orbit and hide deeper into the galaxy, fearing that this passing being would swallow it along with the entire star as a snack to replenish its energy.

"strength……"

Feng Zhiyu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, his heart filled with mixed emotions. "If I had such strength back then, why would I have wasted three thousand years? If I had such strength, destroying the Hidden Smoke Pavilion would have been a matter of a snap of the fingers. If I had such strength... how could I have been unable to have Yuexi...?"

In his heart, shock, envy, bitterness, regret, and a sliver of hope that had been rekindled yet seemed incredibly faint were all intertwined into a tangled mess.

He came to a deeper understanding that in this vast and cold universe, absolute power is the foundation of everything.

So-called schemes and emotions seem so pale and powerless in the face of a force that can crush everything.

Thus, under the absolute oppressive aura of the "fierce god," the originally perilous and long voyage became like a tranquil sightseeing trip.

Several months later, the shuttle had penetrated deep into the heart of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom, and was less than a month away from the capital.

On this day, Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.

His mental power had long since spread like a boundless net, covering a range of light-years ahead. Just now, he sensed an ongoing chase.

Several streaks of light are speeding through a fragmented meteorite belt.

On one side were four winged cultivators clad in magnificent feathered armor, their wings flapping behind them. Their auras were disordered, clearly indicating that they had already gone through a fierce battle, and they were desperately fleeing towards the capital.

On the other side were seven or eight Crystal Clan cultivators whose bodies were made of pure crystal. They possessed powerful auras and worked in perfect harmony, constantly releasing beams of crystal energy and cages to block the Feather Clan cultivators' retreat.

Qin Feng had no intention of paying attention to this. Slaughter and conflict were happening all the time in the universe. He was not a savior and had no interest in interfering in everything.

However, Feng Zhiyu, who had been staring out the window, suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the leader of the Feather Clan being chased: "The Thirteenth Prince?"

"Ok?"

Qin Feng turned his gaze to him and calmly asked, "Is this someone you used to know?"

Feng Zhiyu's face was full of surprise and worry. He said urgently, "Yes! He is the thirteenth son of the Tianxuan Kingdom's ruler, Yuexi's younger brother! I have met him several times."

He was of noble birth, and living near the capital, there should have been no way any foreign race would dare to so openly hunt him down. What... what on earth was going on?

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng instantly focused his mental energy and conducted a more detailed and thorough investigation of the battlefield.

The young man from the Feather Clan, known as the "Thirteenth Prince," had reached the level of a powerful cultivator. He possessed unparalleled mastery of Feather Clan secret techniques and wielded a longbow that emitted powerful energy. Each time he drew the bow, he could shoot out light arrows that tore through space, forcing back his pursuers.

The three guards beside him were also experts who had just entered the Black Hole level.

However, the Crystal Clan forces hunting them down were far more powerful.

Not only were there five powerful black holes, but the leader, a member of the Crystal Clan, had an even more complex and profound crystalline structure, and the aura he exuded was clearly at the level of an ultimate black hole.

If it weren't for the fact that the thirteenth prince seemed to be carrying several high-grade defensive treasures bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Profound Kingdom's ruler, which repeatedly shielded them from fatal attacks at crucial moments, the four of them would probably have perished under the Crystal Clan's encirclement and annihilation long ago.

Even so, they were already at their limit, suffering defeat after defeat, and their loss was only a matter of time.

Just as Qin Feng was investigating, several mental energy fluctuations, laced with anger and smugness, clearly reached his senses across the vast distance. "Hand over the key to the Crimson Forbidden Land! And that map! Otherwise, today will be the death anniversary of your Feather Clan!"

The voice of that Crystal Clan Limit Black Hole was cold and cruel.

"Kill! I'd rather die than hand you over to you beasts of the Crystal Clan!"

The third prince roared and fired another arrow, his voice filled with determination, "Father will never let you go!"

"Heh, your father?"

The Crystal Clan's ultimate black hole let out a mocking sneer, "He's already in dire straits! Otherwise, why do you think we would dare to hunt down your esteemed prince right under the noses of the Heavenly Profound Kingdom's capital!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

The Lord of Tianxuan Kingdom is a renowned Marquis-level expert who has been famous for many years and is also the strongest person in this star field.

Feng Zhiyu and the thirteenth prince were old acquaintances, and Feng Zhiyu was also entangled with his inner demons—that unfinished love affair.

It is reasonable and justifiable for me to lend a helping hand at this moment.

More importantly, this seems to be an excellent opportunity to make contact with the high-ranking officials of the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom and understand the deep-seated turmoil in this place.

A good deed can sometimes save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

With this thought in mind, Qin Feng no longer hesitated.

He said to Feng Zhiyu, "Hold on tight."

Before he finished speaking, he had already injected a powerful spiritual force into the core power array of the shuttle.

"Om-!"

The dark silver shuttle emitted a muffled roar, and the energy flow at its tail instantly changed from pale blue to dazzling pure white, causing the space around the entire shuttle to begin to distort violently.

The next moment, the shuttle suddenly accelerated!
Thirty times the speed of light!
Thirty-five times the speed of light!
Feng Zhiyu felt as if everything in front of him was stretched into blurry light, and a terrifying inertial force almost tore his soul out of his body.

If it weren't for the powerful protective array that came with the Flying Shuttle Treasure activating instantly and forming a gentle energy field to envelop him, the acceleration at the moment of activation alone would probably have been enough to cause his galaxy-level physical body and the Undying Tower to collapse and disintegrate simultaneously!
He looked at Qin Feng in horror.

Despite the terrifying speed, the junior student remained seated cross-legged, his expression unchanged, as if he were simply accelerating normally.

Feng Zhiyu felt a surge of shock once again.

Only now did he truly understand that the ultimate speed test was never about the treasure or the spaceship, but whether the pilot's body and soul could withstand the backlash that was enough to tear apart the rules of the universe when moving at high speed!

The fundamental reason why ordinary beings would rather spend countless years studying profound spatial knowledge and building teleportation arrays than travel faster than light lies in this.

Qin Feng's physical body, which had already surpassed the limits of black holes, was the strongest foundation for bearing this terrifying speed!
……

In the battlefield.

The thirteenth prince and his guards are in dire straits.

Just as a defensive artifact shattered, a surge of violent crystalline energy rushed in. In an attempt to protect him, a guard was struck head-on by the energy torrent, and half of his body instantly crystallized and shattered.

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"

The heavily wounded guard roared and chose to self-destruct at the black hole singularity, trying to buy his companion a chance to survive.

However, the Crystal Clan's ultimate black hole merely snorted and waved its hand to create a crystal wall, easily blocking all the power of the self-destruction.

Despair gripped the hearts of all the winged cultivators.

Just then, a terrifying aura that made the souls of all living beings present tremble descended without warning.

Whether it was the Crystal Clan who were in pursuit or the Feather Clan who were on the run, their movements all stopped at this moment.

They stared in horror toward the direction from which the aura came, only to see a streak of light tearing through space at an incomprehensible speed, instantly arriving at the center of the battlefield from the distant horizon.

The light faded, revealing a dark silver shuttle.

"Who is coming?"

The Crystal Clan's ultimate black hole expert, though outwardly fierce, demanded an explanation.

Alarm bells rang in his mind; the aura of the newcomer was far stronger than he had imagined.

Amidst the rushing shuttle, a cold and indifferent voice rang out, clearly resounding deep within the souls of every living being.

"Qin Feng!"

The moment the words fell, the shuttle hatch opened, and a figure clad in blue-gold power armor with crimson-gold wings on his back stepped out, wielding a dark-gold spear.

A mere glimmer of light!

There were no superfluous words, no hint of probing.

The moment Qin Feng stepped out of the shuttle, he transformed into an extreme streak of light. The combined amplification of his crimson-gold wings and power armor propelled him to a speed that would make even a black hole feel despair.

The moment the Crystal Clan's ultimate black hole heard the name "Qin Feng," its pupils contracted to their maximum size!

The ruthless Qin Feng! Ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List!

That monster who single-handedly killed six ultimate black holes and scared away the famous demon general Setir!

Fear seized his entire being in an instant.

He instinctively wanted to activate his strongest defensive treasure, a "Myriad Prisms Divine Mirror" forged from the core crystal of his own body.

However, the moment the thought arose, his body and energy could not keep up with the speed of his thinking.

He only saw a golden-red dot of light rapidly magnify in his field of vision. The dot of light was so dazzling and so sharp that it seemed to embody all the concepts of "sharpness" in the universe.

"Qin..."

He wanted to beg for mercy or issue a final warning, but before he could utter his second word, the beam of light pierced through his proud, ultimate black hole-level crystal body.

The golden-red spiritual energy, like a maggot clinging to his bone, instantly surged into the core of his soul, completely annihilating all the will and imprints within it.

This Crystal Clan's ultimate black hole, which had run rampant in the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom, couldn't even fully unleash a single secret treasure before it perished on the spot under Qin Feng's name and killing move.

After losing his soul, his body began to collapse uncontrollably, but the Star Devouring Spear unleashed a powerful suction force, eagerly devouring all of his pure crystalline primordial energy.

One strike, instant kill!

The remaining few powerful black holes of the Crystal Clan, after witnessing this miraculous scene, were left with blank minds, then overwhelmed by boundless fear.

They screamed and scattered in all directions.

However, in the face of absolute speed, escape is futile.

Qin Feng's figure flickered, and each flap of his crimson-gold wings was accompanied by a flash of light and a brief scream.

In just a few breaths, all the Crystal Clan cultivators who participated in the pursuit were killed on the spot, without exception.

Their corpses, without exception, became nourishment for the Star-Devouring Spear.

After devouring the essence of several black hole-level crystal beings, the dark golden light on the surface of the Star Devouring Spear grew stronger, and its grade showed signs of breaking through again.

"The current power of the Star Devourer far surpasses that of ordinary high-level black hole treasures, comparable to top-tier ones. However, it is still a long way from transforming into a domain lord-level divine weapon."

A thought flashed through Qin Feng's mind.

"Perhaps, only by storming into the core territory of the Crystal Clan and sacrificing the life essence of billions of Crystal Clan members can we help them complete this final leap."

This bloody and domineering thought flashed through his mind. He flapped his crimson-gold wings and returned to the flying shuttle, to Feng Zhiyu's side.

silence.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

The thirteenth prince and his two surviving guards stood frozen in mid-air, staring at the imposing figure who had sheathed his spear, unable to recover for a long time.

The life-or-death battle that had just driven them to the brink of despair, even to the point of self-destruction for a chance at survival, was utterly ended in those mere ten seconds in such a devastating and utterly unreasonable manner.

After a long while, the thirteenth prince finally reacted. He quickly put away his weapon, bowed deeply to the flying shuttle, and said in an extremely respectful and grateful tone, "Junior Yuexuan of the Feather Clan thanks Senior for your help!"

I had long heard of Senior Qin's formidable reputation as a "fierce god," but seeing him today, I realize it is indeed well-deserved. Senior Qin's power far surpasses the rumors!

"Haha, old friend, no need for formalities."

Qin Feng smiled faintly and waved his hand to cancel the one-way array on the shuttle's porthole, revealing Feng Zhiyu's figure inside.

"Brother-in-law?!"

When the thirteenth prince, Yuexuan, saw Feng Zhiyu's familiar yet haggard face, he was stunned again, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Feng Zhiyu gave him a bitter smile as a greeting.

……

After a brief conversation, the group met up.

"Brother-in-law, what happened to you... that made you look like this?"

Looking at Feng Zhiyu's stagnant cultivation and the weariness between his brows, Yuexuan asked with concern.

"It's a long story..."

Feng Zhiyu didn't elaborate on his experience of being enslaved, only briefly mentioning it before asking, "Let's talk about you. As the son of the king, how did you end up being hunted down by the Crystal Clan near the capital?"

Mentioning the Heavenly Profound Kingdom Lord, Yue Xuan's face instantly darkened. He remained silent for a moment, glancing warily at Qin Feng, whose aura was deep and imposing, as if he had something to say but was unsure whether to.

Qin Feng, being the kind of person he was, immediately understood his concerns and said calmly, "You two can catch up while I leave for the time being and will not eavesdrop with my mental power."

"My benefactor, please don't make fun of me!"

Upon hearing this, Yuexuan quickly waved her hand, her face filled with fear and awe. "I had no such intention. I... I was just worried that if I told you the truth, my benefactor, you would lose control of your emotions and, in a fit of anger, go and... die."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "Tell me more about it."

Yuexuan took a deep breath, seemingly having made up her mind, and said in a deep voice, "This matter must begin with an ancient legend from the Tianxuan Universe Kingdom that has been passed down for countless epochs."

"The Crimson Forbidden Zone".

"Legend has it that it is a mysterious place associated with the warp god 'Khorne'."

Within this forbidden land lies not only the supreme legacy of that deity, but also countless opportunities.

"However, since I was born, the Crimson Forbidden Land has never truly been opened; everyone regards it only as a vague and ethereal legend."

"However, just a few hundred years ago, a sudden change occurred."

Within the Tianxuan Ancient Kingdom and dozens of surrounding cosmic kingdoms, a peculiar artifact known as the 'Crimson Forbidden Land Key' began to appear without warning.

At the same time, a large number of powerful alien races poured into our territory, frantically collecting these keys, and in doing so, they launched a series of wars, resulting in the destruction of countless forces.

"At first, I thought this was just a trick by some people with ulterior motives to create chaos under the guise of ancient legends in order to hunt down living beings and seize treasures. After all, that so-called forbidden land has never truly appeared in the world."

"However, ten years ago, everything changed. Several terrifying Marquis-level beings tore through space and descended upon the capital of my Tianxuan Kingdom. Without saying a word, they engaged in an earth-shattering battle with my father."

Yuexuan's voice trembled with grief and indignation: "My father used all his strength to send me off the battlefield and gave me a treasure map of the Blood Forbidden Land and a key to the forbidden land."

He instructed me to go to the Crimson Forbidden Land, find the human prodigy Qin Feng, and personally deliver these two items to you!

"And outside the entrance to the Blood Forbidden Land, where it is about to truly appear in the world, an unimaginable number of powerful beings from various races have already gathered... Although they are constantly fighting among themselves, they share a strange consensus—they will indiscriminately join forces to slaughter any human being that tries to approach it!"

At this point, Yuexuan's face showed deep worry and fear: "My benefactor, the creatures that went to the Crimson Forbidden Land have all too famous names."

Among them are not only countless extreme black holes, but even... even supreme beings who have already stepped into the 'forbidden' realm! That's why I'm afraid that after you learn of this, you might go to your death in a moment of excitement.

Those foreign tribes are clearly after you! Connecting their actions to my father's affair, I suspect there's a massive conspiracy targeting you behind it all!

"God's ban?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly; this was the first time he had ever heard of this term.

Seeing this, Yuexuan quickly explained, "It's normal that you don't know about 'Divine Forbiddenness'."

After all, in the entire battlefield of ten thousand races, perhaps only one or two geniuses could truly reach this level.

"As we all know, black hole-level powerhouses can learn and accumulate knowledge infinitely, and improve their strength infinitely until they forge their own unique 'path,' gain the recognition of the universe's will, and thus advance to the level of a domain lord."

"However, this so-called 'infinite' ultimately has its upper limit."

"Theoretically speaking, even a black hole-level powerhouse, even an extreme black hole, after millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, could never compare to the power of the most ordinary and weakest initial-stage domain lord. This is the rule of the universe."

"But there are always exceptions."

"In the endless river of history, there will always be some peerless geniuses who cannot be fathomed by common sense. They are able to unleash combat power that is enough to compete head-on with a true domain lord level powerhouse with a body of black hole level."

"To reach this level of combat power means that they have broken through the rules and barriers set by the universe with their own strength. This realm is called... stepping into the 'forbidden realm'!"
Those prodigies possessing such combat prowess are widely recognized as having the true potential to become gods!

Yuexuan's eyes were filled with awe and despair.

"Among the powerful figures who have come to the Crimson Forbidden Land this time, there is a supreme genius who ranks second on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and has been confirmed to have stepped into the 'Divine Forbidden' realm!"

"He comes from the Holy Spirit Stone Clan within the Holy Spirit Clan. He has no name or title; the outside world only knows him by his honorific title—Stone Buddha!"

"According to legend, he was hunted down by the Holy Spirit Clan for many years. Later, he was adopted by the Stone Clan's Tantric Buddhist Master and has remained hidden ever since. Every time he comes out, it is for a mission of the will of the universe."

"He rose to fame a thousand years ago by fighting a great battle with the domain lord who had been chasing him, stepping into the forbidden realm of the gods, and rising to the second position on the Hidden Dragon List."

"This trip is probably for a space mission."
