High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 283 Seven-Colored Bodhi Tree Seed! The King's Corpse is activated, unleashing a devastating attack! The Blood God Tower appears!
Feeling the awe-inspiring gazes that gathered from the entire audience, Sanruo nodded in satisfaction. He slowly withdrew his divine aura, and the smile on his face returned to its harmless appearance.

"Alright, alright, everyone, there's no need to be so tense. We, the people of Tianji Sect, value the concept of 'fate.' Our meeting here today is a matter of fate. Giving you all some pointers can be considered as forging a good connection."

He cleared his throat, and his voice once again echoed across the coast.

"Listen carefully, everyone. This Sea of ​​Blood Source is the place where many powerful beings fell. Their blood and essence have all been absorbed into it, which is why it can give birth to countless treasures and blood jade crystals."

"If you want to fish for Blood Jade Crystals, your method of condensing spiritual energy into a 'hook' and probing deep into the depths is indeed effective."

Sanruo changed the subject, first affirming everyone's actions, "Because the Blood Jade Crystal itself has no consciousness, it is a pure condensation of rules, and is considered an unclaimed object, which can only be salvaged by brute force."

Upon hearing this, many creatures showed expressions of "I knew it."

"but……"

Sanruo's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of enlightenment.

“Rare and precious materials are different! All things have a spirit, especially those that can be called ‘rare and precious materials,’ which have long since developed a rudimentary intelligence! Your spiritual power should be ‘bait’ to them, not ‘hook’!”

"'Bait'? Not 'hook'?"

Everyone was taken aback, pondering the difference between the two words.

Sanruo stretched out a finger and lightly touched the air, as if touching everyone's heart.

“That’s right! What you’re doing now is forcibly using the ‘hook’ of your mental energy to delve into the perilous Blood Sea and retrieve those treasures. Not only is this method inefficient, but if the treasures resist or trigger the Blood Sea’s restrictions, your mental energy will be damaged. This is a very poor solution!”

"And the best strategy is to use a 'hook'!"

"What you need to do is to transform your spiritual power into the most delicious 'bait' and spread it on the surface of the Blood Sea, 'luring' out those treasures sleeping deep in the Blood Source Sea, so that they will come to you on their own initiative and acknowledge you, instead of you forcibly capturing them!"

These words were like a thunderclap in the minds of all the geniuses!
Yes! How could they not have thought of that?
Natural treasures possess a spirit and choose their master; this is the most basic common sense in the universe.

They were so focused on how to explore their spiritual power more deeply and how to "hook" their targets more precisely that they forgot the most fundamental principle.

A forced melon is never sweet, and a forcibly hooked treasure is naturally fraught with danger!
"That's it...that's it!"

"It's seduction, not hooking! I understand!"

"Disperse the aggressiveness and purposefulness of your spiritual energy, and instead release its most primal qualities and aura, using this as 'bait' to attract treasures with compatible attributes!"

In an instant, many creatures showed expressions of sudden realization, their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

This seemingly simple truth was like breaking through a layer of paper, allowing them to see a completely new way of treasure hunting full of endless possibilities.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Sanruo!"

"Fellow Daoist's insight is truly remarkable; we are in awe!"

For a time, words of thanks rose and fell.

Sanruo waved his hand with a smile: "You're too kind. Everyone, please try it quickly, don't miss this opportunity."

As soon as the words were spoken, the eager young talents immediately began to act.

They withdrew the spiritual threads that had penetrated the depths of the blood sea, instead spreading them across its surface, removing all concealment and disguise, and releasing the original attributes of their spiritual power without reservation.

In an instant, countless strange phenomena appeared in the sky above the entire coastline of the Blood Sea.

Some people's spiritual power was as intense as fire, causing the surrounding blood-red mist to evaporate a bit;
Some people's spiritual power was icy cold, as if it could freeze the rolling waves of blood;
Some people's spiritual power is filled with murderous intent, which arouses the restlessness of certain ferocious creatures deep in the sea of ​​blood.

Ye Luo, the son of the Stone Emperor and a top prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List, was the first to make an astonishing discovery.

His rock-solid and profound spiritual power spread out like an invisible earth covering the sea.

Not long after, a strange change occurred!
Suddenly, the sea of ​​blood in front of Ye Luo began to churn violently, and a blood-red vortex appeared out of thin air. Then, a dazzling earth-yellow light shot up from the center of the vortex, breaking through the blood waves and hovering steadily in front of Ye Luo.

It was a stone about the size of a fist, yellowish-brown in color, its surface covered with natural Dao patterns. It floated silently, yet exuded an immense and weighty aura, as if bearing the weight of an entire earth. Every slight pulsation caused ripples in the surrounding space.

"That's... a Domain Lord-level Stone Heart! My God!"

"A true domain lord-level resource! And a 'Heart of Earth' of extremely high quality!"

"Ye Luo's spiritual energy is perfectly compatible with this stone heart, and it actually managed to draw it out!"

A series of exclamations echoed through the sky.

All living beings stared intently at the stone heart, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and even greed.

Resources of the domain lord level, enough to make even a domain lord take notice in the outside world, appeared here so easily!
However, when their gaze fell upon Ye Luo's cold and powerful figure, all their greed was instantly extinguished.

Ye Luo's strength was already unfathomable, and he was also a prince of the Stone Clan. Who would dare to snatch it from him?
Moreover, this Earth Core has limited use for most non-stone life forms, and it would be a losing proposition to offend a future giant for its sake.

But Ye Luo's success acted like a powerful catalyst, igniting everyone's passion.

Facts speak louder than words!

The three-pronged approach is correct!

Previously, they would spend years or even decades trying to catch a black hole resource, and that would be considered lucky.

To even think about getting your hands on the domain lord-level resources deep within the Blood Sea is simply a pipe dream.

Only those top geniuses with extremely high spiritual qualities can barely explore that depth, but they also have to take huge risks.

Now, all they need to do is maintain their mental energy on the surface and let its essence spread, which will attract those dormant treasures to come and recognize them as their masters!
This is a world of difference!

In an instant, the entire coastline of the Blood Origin Sea was in an uproar.

"Hahaha! I caught a 'Blood Dragon Saliva Grass,' a divine medicine at least at the level of an extreme black hole!"

"I'm getting a reaction here! It's a piece of 'Starry Iron Mother'!"

"Look over there! Neil of the Light Clan has drawn out a broken Holy Sword of Light. That aura... it's definitely a fragment of a Domain Lord-level treasure!"

Exclamations and bursts of laughter rose in waves, one after another, without end.

A dazzling light continuously burst forth from the sea of ​​blood, its multicolored radiance illuminating the crimson surface like a divine realm.

Domain Lord-level rare and precious materials, Domain Lord-level secret treasures, and someone even drew out a metal fragment shimmering with immortal brilliance from the sea of ​​blood—a fragment of a Marquis-level secret treasure!

Even more remarkably, a prodigy from the Biluo Huangquan Sect managed to activate a fragmented inheritance with his cold and lifeless spiritual power!

One after another, jet-black runes rose from the sea of ​​blood, transforming into a scripture that was directly imprinted into his soul.

The terrifying aura caused all living beings around to retreat. Some recognized it as a long-lost secret technique passed down to the King-level!
The entire Bloodsea had been transformed into a grand carnival.

Everyone was immersed in the immense joy of constantly acquiring treasures, greedily releasing their spiritual power in the hope of attracting even more powerful opportunities.

However, in this noisy and frenzied ocean, there is a lonely island.

Qin Feng remained quietly seated in that inconspicuous corner, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him.

He glanced at the soaring radiance, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes, but without a trace of envy or wavering.

The three-pronged approach is correct and its value is immeasurable.

But Qin Feng knew even better what he wanted.

A secret treasure? Just an external object.

Admittedly, a powerful treasure can boost combat strength, and a royal inheritance can lay the foundation for one's future.

But for Qin Feng, none of these are fundamental issues.

His path was different from the very beginning.

What he seeks to forge is the "Final Singularity" following the "Eternal Singularity," the supreme foundation promised by the will of the universe!
What he wants to step into is the "forbidden realm of gods," which is one in a trillion!
These are the core foundations of his martial arts path.

If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake.

Even the most powerful external possessions are nothing but castles in the air.

The most direct and effective way to achieve these two goals right now is to refine enough Blood Jade Crystals!

Blood Jade Crystal enhances potential, aptitude, and the most fundamental "quality" of life, leading to a transformation.

This kind of improvement is far more important than any secret treasure.

Moreover, he possesses the Emperor's Golden Nail, which can resist bewitching and maximize the absorption of Blood Jade Crystals!
Qin Feng could clearly distinguish which was more important and which was less important.

Thus, while all living beings used their spiritual power as "bait" to lure those magnificent treasures, Qin Feng's spiritual power remained the sharpest, most resilient, and purest "hook."

His goal was clear and singular—Blood Jade Crystal!

The golden spiritual hook ignored the alluring treasures and precisely probed into the sea of ​​blood, searching for those unique crimson halos.

The gasps from the outside world became the best cover for his actions.

When Ye Luo, the son of the Stone Emperor, fished out a Domain Lord-level Stone Heart, attracting everyone's attention, Qin Feng quietly hooked out three hundred Blood Jade Crystals from the Sea of ​​Blood and put them into his storage ring.

When the Light Clan's Neil obtained the fragment of the Holy Sword of Light, radiating brilliant light, Qin Feng once again made his move, dragging a mineral vein containing nearly a thousand Blood Jade Crystals out of the sea and instantly breaking it down and collecting them.

When the royal inheritance appeared and caused a huge uproar, the number of blood jade crystals in Qin Feng's storage ring had quietly exceeded three thousand.

And so, in this magnificent treasure hunt frenzy, he became a silent, unsung hero.

Like a highly efficient farmer, while others' gardens are filled with blooming flowers vying for attention, he simply keeps his head down, silently and tirelessly harvesting the most basic and important grains from his own field.

Time slowly passed amidst this one-sided revelry and the other-sided harvest.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The carnival feast in the Sea of ​​Blood is gradually coming to an end from its climax.

Most of the treasures that are easily attracted have already emerged; what remains are top-tier treasures that are either sleeping in the deepest part of the Blood Sea or possess extremely strong spirituality and are very difficult to communicate with.

The prodigies had already reaped a bountiful harvest, and their current "fishing" was more out of a sense of unwillingness to give up, hoping to create another miracle.

Over the course of those ten years, Qin Feng's earnings reached an astonishing figure.

His mental strength was like a tireless machine, probing into the sea of ​​blood again and again, returning fully loaded each time.

Finally, after he had collected the last batch of nearly five hundred Blood Jade Crystals, Qin Feng slowly withdrew his spiritual power.

He glanced inside his storage ring at the mountain of blood jade crystals; their crimson radiance almost burst the ring's interior.

One hundred thousand pieces.

This is a number that would drive anyone in the know crazy.

Qin Feng stopped.

He calmly assessed the situation and felt that the blood jade crystals he had were more than enough for him to absorb and refine.

In fact, a lot will inevitably be wasted in the end.

enough.

He opened his eyes and glanced at the creatures still diligently "fishing" in the distance.

Their faces beamed with the joy of a harvest and anticipation for the future.

Qin Feng's face, however, remained expressionless.

"After refining these 100,000+ Blood Jade Crystals, your strength will undergo a tremendous change."

"Of course, if we have enough time, we should be able to refine these 100,000+ Blood Jade Crystals, thanks to the presence of the Emperor's Golden Nails. But in reality... it's simply impossible. Nevertheless, I still want to test my limits."

Qin Feng muttered to himself.

"That's enough, even... well, it's far more than needed."

With the foundation laid, occasional indulgence is perfectly acceptable.

Qin Feng finally shifted his gaze from the floating blood jade crystals to the deeper, darker depths of the blood sea.

A barely perceptible smile curved the corners of his lips.

"Very well, let me see what secrets are hidden in the deepest part of this Sea of ​​Blood."

Once he made up his mind, Qin Feng no longer hesitated.

He followed the example of other prodigies and began to release his spiritual energy.

However, his "release" is fundamentally different from that of other living beings.

Ordinary geniuses, even those with spiritual power quality reaching the gold-red level, only carefully maintain their spiritual power near the surface of the sea, like a cautious fisherman scattering bait on a safe, shallow beach.

Qin Feng, however, was like a giant dragon lurking in the abyss, boldly probing his spiritual power into that endless abyss!

hum-

A refined, noble, and seemingly primordial purple-gold spiritual energy emanated from between Qin Feng's eyebrows.

This spiritual energy did not disperse, but instead condensed into an extremely solid probe, which instantly plunged into the sea of ​​blood.

The Sea of ​​Blood is filled with the lingering wills of countless fallen powerful beings and the domineering power of the Blood God, which has a terrifying corrosive effect on mental strength.

The golden-red spiritual energy, once deeply absorbed, will be constantly eroded, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

However, Qin Feng's purple-gold spiritual power presented a completely different picture.

It originated from the supreme foundation of the [Eternal Singularity], and was further refined by the Bodhi Flower and the qualities of seventeen Blood Jade Crystals. Its quality was so high that it had surpassed the comprehension of all the beings present.

The power of the blood sea, which was enough to dissolve even the soul, retreated to both sides like a tide the moment it came into contact with this purple-gold spiritual power. It was completely unable to cause any damage to it, and it couldn't even corrode it.

One thousand meters, ten thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters...

Qin Feng's mental power continued to descend without hindrance, penetrating into a realm that even a powerhouse of the Stone Buddha's level had never easily ventured into.

Here, time and space seem to have frozen, and all around is pure, viscous, and tangible crimson psychic energy.

Qin Feng could "see" countless broken weapons, shattered armor, and treasures that had long lost their spirituality, lying quietly like sediment at the bottom of the sea.

His spiritual source, that unique aura that belonged to Qin Feng's own life imprint, spread out without reservation in this desolate abyss.

It didn't take long; just a moment later, the deepest part of the Blood Sea reacted.

A faint, vibrant, and intimate feeling emanated from afar and precisely connected with Qin Feng's purplish-gold spiritual power.

"found it."

With a thought, Qin Feng caused the purple-gold spiritual energy probe to transform into a soft thread, which coiled around the source of the tremor and began to slowly rise.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

Rumble!
The entire Sea of ​​Blood suddenly began to boil violently without warning, as if an ancient beast that had slumbered for billions of years was about to awaken. Waves of blood surged skyward, crashing against the void with a deep, thunderous roar.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling, indescribable seven-colored ray of light burst forth from the depths of the sea of ​​blood, tearing through the boundless crimson and soaring straight into the sky!

In an instant, the sky was filled with radiant light and auspicious colors.

The thick stench of blood and the deathly stillness were swept away by this sacred light. The entire boundless pool of blood was completely enveloped and bathed in this seven-colored light, as if transformed into a sacred sanctuary.

A refreshing fragrance spread out, and just one whiff made all the geniuses present feel clear-headed and their thinking speed increased by three points.

All eyes, whether on the fishing, fighting, or simply watching, were instantly drawn to the source of that light.

Before Qin Feng, as he retracted his spiritual energy, a small tree, about the size of a palm, crystal clear and shimmering with seven-colored divine light, slowly rose from the sea of ​​blood.

It is the source of all those phenomena!

At first, there was only deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and unusual celestial phenomenon.

Immediately afterwards, a scream filled with extreme shock and disbelief shattered the brief silence.

"That...that could be...the seed of the Seven-Colored Bodhi Tree!!"

The voice was like a spark that ignited a powder keg, instantly setting the emotions of all living beings present ablaze.

"My God! How is this possible?! The legendary, long-extinct cosmic treasure, the Seven-Colored Bodhi Tree?!"

"It's a tree seed! A living tree seed! This means we can directly form a soul contract and nurture it with care! Once it grows up, it will be a living, king-level life form that walks the world!"

"It's far more than that! The Seven-Colored Bodhi Tree is naturally close to the Great Dao. Cultivating under its tree can greatly enhance one's thinking ability, providing an unimaginable boost to comprehending any secret technique! This is a supreme treasure that even King-level experts would covet and even wage war to seize!"

"In the past hundred years, the best items we've fished out have been either the inheritance of a king or incomplete treasures. He... he actually obtained a complete, top-tier king-level treasure with unlimited potential!!"

"Who is this person?! Who exactly is he?!"

"His spiritual power... is purplish-gold! I've never seen anything like it before. Who is this person?"

Discussing, exclamations, and gasps of surprise rose and fell.

But these voices were quickly replaced by a more primal, purer emotion—greed.

Burning, undisguised greedy gazes converged from all directions, fixing their gazes firmly on Qin Feng and the seven-colored Bodhi tree seed in front of him.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, then distorted by the scorching killing intent that surged into the sky.

"kill!"

Someone let out a roar.

"Such a treasure should belong to the virtuous! You've hoarded it all; aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"

"Let's attack together! First, seize the treasure, then each of us can rely on our own abilities!"

boom! boom! boom!
Without a word, faced with the irresistible allure of the seven-colored Bodhi tree seed, reason was instantly consumed.

In an instant, dozens of incredibly powerful attacks poured towards Qin Feng from different directions, carrying an aura of annihilation!

Among them were several extreme black hole-level powerhouses whose spiritual power had reached the golden-red color. Their attacks were particularly vicious, blocking all of Qin Feng's escape routes.

Because Qin Feng concealed his aura, no one recognized his true identity in the blink of an eye.

In their eyes, he was just a mysterious powerhouse who appeared out of nowhere, with luck beyond belief. Faced with this earth-shattering siege, Qin Feng's expression remained terrifyingly calm.

He didn't even look at the enemies attacking him immediately, but instead focused most of his attention on the stone Buddha sitting there as still as a mountain in the distance.

The stone Buddha is the only thing on this site that can pose a real threat to him.

If he shows the slightest sign of making a move, Qin Feng will not hesitate to put away the tree seeds and flee immediately.

However, the stone Buddha remained seated and motionless.

His eyes, which seemed to contain the stars of eternity, merely glanced at this side indifferently before making no further move.

"very good."

Qin Feng understood.

Since the greatest threat has chosen to remain on the sidelines, it's time to remind these greed-blinded fools of some long-forgotten fears.

"Humph!"

A cold, soft snort, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, clearly reached the ears of every living being.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Feng moved.

Wow!

A pair of enormous, magnificent, and metallic crimson-gold wings unfurled behind him, and countless intricate Dao patterns lit up instantly on the wings, with terrifying spiritual energy waves erupting like a volcano!

At the same time, an ancient, jet-black spear, seemingly capable of devouring all light, silently appeared in his hand. It was the divine weapon—the Star Devourer!
He chose neither to defend nor to dodge. Instead, holding his spear, he charged against the tide of the most densely packed group of people just before countless attacks were about to hit him!

Its momentum is like a dragon!
A single, brilliant ray of light bursts forth from the tip of his gun.

A mere glimmer of light!

whoosh-

It was a light that could not be captured by sight.

It appeared without warning, as if it were born out of thin air.

It was so fast that time and space lost their meaning in its presence.

In everyone's perception, the world seemed to have been paused, all the torrents of spiritual energy and the shadows of arcane arts were frozen in place, and only that one tiny, brilliant point of light became the eternal and unique thing in the world.

It flashed by and disappeared into the brow of the largest Lava Titan, who was grinning maliciously.

At that very moment, that familiar attack method, which was enough to make the geniuses of all races tremble, finally reminded some creatures with excellent memories of the name of that evil star.

A piercing scream, filled with boundless terror, suddenly rang out:
"Cun Mang! This is Cun Mang! He is Qin Feng!!"

"It's that ruthless Qin Feng!!"

"Quickly retreat!!"

"His spiritual power... has actually transformed into a purplish-gold color! His strength... has increased again!!"

The name "Qin Feng" seems to possess a terrifying, magical power that makes his words come true.

The dozens of powerful figures who were all murderous and determined to seize the treasure just a second ago froze for a moment upon hearing this name.

Immediately afterwards, a fear a hundred times greater than their previous greed surged from their tailbone straight to the top of their head.

Without a second thought, they frantically burned their psionic energy and mental power, retreating in all directions at the fastest speed they had ever seen!

The once impenetrable encirclement crumbled instantly.

Those attacks that had already been launched and were flying halfway were even forcibly interrupted by them, causing considerable backlash against themselves.

Retreat tens of thousands of miles immediately!
Every living being wished they had two more legs, their faces filled with horror and regret, fearing that the evil spirit would target them.

Fortunately, Qin Feng's goal was not to exterminate them, but to make an example of them.

Even as the terrified scream still echoed, the grotesque grin on the face of the lava titan struck by the "inch beam" had not yet faded, but the light in its eyes had already completely dimmed.

puff.

A soft sound.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any scene of blood and gore.

The Lava Titan, renowned for its formidable physical strength and defensive capabilities comparable to a top-tier black hole-level treasure, silently and gradually annihilated from a point between its brows, transforming into the purest stream of particles that dissipated into the world.

The physical body perishes, the soul shatters.

One hit, dead!

The whole place was dead silent.

The once bustling and noisy Blood Sea is now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only the seven-colored Bodhi tree seeds still radiate a soft and sacred light, reflecting on faces that are pale and distorted with fear.

Countless gazes subconsciously shifted from Qin Feng and turned to the three figures in the distance.

Stone Buddha, Lion God statue, and Ye Luo, son of the Stone Emperor.

In everyone's eyes, these three powerful stone beings should be on the same side.

Given Qin Feng's formidable strength, will they intervene?

However, the result once again surprised everyone.

The stone Buddha remains unchanged, its eyes fixed on its nose, its nose seemingly focused on its heart, as if in deep meditation, indifferent to everything around it.

The moment Qin Feng appeared, Ye Luo, the son of the Stone Emperor, retreated tens of thousands of meters without hesitation, keeping a safe distance. His decisive action was even three points faster than that of the attackers.

His gaze toward Qin Feng was filled with apprehension and a hint of indescribable complexity.

As for the lion statue, a strong fighting spirit and killing intent did indeed flash in its golden pupils.

Killing Qin Feng was one of his goals when he entered the Crimson Forbidden Land.

but……

He glanced at Qin Feng, who exuded overwhelming power and wielded the Star-Devouring Spear. Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Qin Feng, which was more than a level stronger than when he first entered the forbidden area, he found that his fighting spirit could not be raised to its peak no matter what he did.

not sure……

For the first time, the lion statue made this judgment about itself.

If he had confronted Qin Feng at the entrance to the forbidden area earlier, he was absolutely confident that even if he couldn't kill him, he could at least severely injure him.

But now, the opponent has refined countless blood jade crystals, and his spiritual power has transformed into a purple-gold color. His strength is probably already infinitely close to "half-step divine restriction".

The outcome is now unpredictable.

not to mention……

Out of the corner of his eye, the lion statue glanced at the unmoving stone Buddha, and a nameless fire and deep suspicion welled up in his heart.

"We're both from the Stone Clan, but the Stone Buddha's strength far surpasses mine. Why isn't he making a move? He's clearly the most qualified and capable being to punish Qin Feng. Why should he sit back and do nothing while I have to fight to the death?"

"This fiend definitely harbors ulterior motives! Hmph, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions. Although he has the appearance of a stone race member, his origins are mysterious, and he is not a creature of our Stone Realm Universe Kingdom at all. What... exactly is he plotting?"

As the lion statue's thoughts flashed through its mind, his already weak fighting spirit completely dissipated.

He snorted coldly and also chose to retreat, maintaining a safe distance from Qin Feng.

From then on, no one dared to show even the slightest covetousness towards Qin Feng and the seven-colored Bodhi tree seed in his hands.

Qin Feng looked around and saw that everyone was stunned by his thunderous attack, so he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

He casually stored the seven-colored Bodhi tree seed into his subspace storage unit, and then sat down cross-legged again.

The source of spiritual power was once again released without restraint in the Sea of ​​Blood, continuing to wait for treasures that resonated with its own source to be attracted.

However, this time, Qin Feng seemed to have used up all his luck.

Time passed slowly, and exclamations of surprise came from other prodigies who had fished out treasures, but no treasures came to touch his spiritual energy bait.

Clearly, a rare and precious cosmic treasure like the Seven-Colored Bodhi Tree is an opportunity that occurs only once in billions of years, and cannot be sought after.

Qin Feng, however, refused to believe it.

"Since the treasures on the surface and in the middle are not for me, I will go deeper to take a look."

A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes.

Driven by his will, the purple-gold spiritual probe descended once more, heading relentlessly towards that absolute abyss, which even he himself found unsettling and which had never been explored by any living being!
500,000 meters, 1 million meters, 3 million meters...

As the depth increased, even Qin Feng's purple-gold spiritual power began to feel a faint pressure.

The surrounding blood had become incredibly viscous, and the resentment and murderous intent contained within it were terrifying.

Just as Qin Feng's spiritual power was about to reach the bottom of the Blood Source Sea, another unexpected event occurred!

This time, it was no longer the auspicious glow of dawn, but a chilling tremor from the depths of the soul!

boom! ! ! !

The entire Blood Origin Sea seemed to have been hit by a star, causing it to explode in chaos!

The sea of ​​blood unleashed boundless waves ten thousand times more terrifying than before, each wave powerful enough to shatter a star.

Vast sections of the void collapsed, revealing pitch-black chaos.

Immediately afterwards, countless thick, mountain-like bolts of crimson lightning erupted from the sea of ​​blood, weaving into a deadly net of lightning. The entire sea of ​​blood churned and roared violently!
Amidst the horrified gazes of all living beings, a... mangled humanoid body slowly emerged from the very center of the churning sea of ​​blood.

This humanoid body was in an extremely pitiful state.

Its arms were severed cleanly at the shoulders, the wounds as smooth as a mirror.

Only a small section of his right thigh remained, severed by an equally deadly weapon.

Its chest has a large, open hole that allows light to pass through from front to back, clearly revealing the distorted void behind it.

The head was cut off in half at an angle, leaving only half a numb, empty face.

However, this broken corpse was surrounded by countless mysterious runes that emitted a faint glow. These runes were ancient and powerful, seemingly barely maintaining the immortality of this body.

As soon as the remains appeared, an indescribable, irresistible, overwhelming royal might that seemed capable of crushing all the heavens and myriad worlds swept out!

hum-

The end of the world is coming!

Under the influence of this imperial aura, space completely froze, and time seemed to stand still.

The sea of ​​blood boiled and evaporated in an instant, only to be filled with an even more powerful blood energy in the same instant.

Every living being present, regardless of strength or race, felt at that moment as if their souls were being gripped by an invisible hand, about to be crushed!
Some weaker creatures that were closer in distance didn't even have time to scream before their bodies and souls exploded under this pressure, turning into plumes of blood mist that merged into the boiling sea of ​​blood.

"not good!!"

The Tianji Sect disciple Sanruo, who had always appeared calm and collected, suddenly changed his expression, and for the first time, his chubby face revealed a mixture of shock and fear.

He could no longer conceal himself; the aura of his divine domain erupted fully, and his mental energy surged like a tsunami. With all his might, he let out a roar that resounded deep within the souls of every survivor:

"It's a royal corpse!! No wonder there are no ferocious beasts in this Sea of ​​Blood; it turns out there's a real royal corpse suppressing it here!"

"Retreat immediately! Everyone, head to the Blood God Tower right now! Only the light barrier around the Blood God Tower is safe!"

"This king corpse has lost all reason, leaving only a pure bloodlust! Its strength is beyond the reach of any of us! Let's go!"

"Head to the Blood God Tower immediately!"

Sanruo's roar was like a thunderclap, waking up those creatures who had been almost rendered incapable of thinking by Wang Wei's awe.

The instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed everything.

"escape!"

"Run away!"

Without any hesitation or delay, under the shadow of death, all the survivors transformed into streaks of light, fleeing for their lives toward the faintly visible Tower of Blood at the edge of their vision!

An unprecedented escape has begun!

However, while the King Corpse lacks reason, it possesses instinct.

Its remaining half-face, with its empty eye sockets, turned towards the swarm of fleeing "ants," and then slowly raised its crippled, one-piece right leg, and gently stepped into the void.

Boom!
It's like the heartbeat of the universe, or the death knell of the apocalypse.

The space spanning hundreds of millions of miles was instantly imprisoned by this one step!
It became harder than divine metal and more solid than absolute zero.

Most of the fleeing prodigies suddenly stopped, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall, and were forced to remain in place.

However, the king's corpse was, after all, broken and had been dead for countless years. This attack was only launched on instinct, and it left room for maneuver, failing to trap everyone.

Qin Feng, Shi Fo, San Ruo, Lion God Statue, and a handful of other top-tier powerhouses, relying on their formidable strength, broke through the spatial confinement and continued their escape.

Of the creatures that were spared, not all were lambs to the slaughter.

"Open it for me!"

Ye Luo, the son of the Stone Emperor, let out a roar the moment he was imprisoned.

He summoned a jade talisman imbued with the aura of imperial authority. The talisman instantly ignited, transforming into a golden divine light capable of cutting through anything, forcefully tearing apart the spatial seal and carrying him away in a disheveled state.

As the most favored son of the Stone Emperor, his methods of self-preservation far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

But others weren't so lucky.

"How dare you be so insolent with a mere corpse! Suppress it!"

The prodigy "Deathstroke," who ranked extremely high on the Hidden Dragon List, showed no fear whatsoever the moment he was left behind; instead, his eyes blazed with fanatical light.

Born into the undead race, he cultivated an extremely bizarre path of enslaving corpses. A king-level corpse was an unimaginable temptation for him.

With his hands forming a mudra and his mouth chanting incantations, streams of black spiritual energy, filled with enslavement and decay, swept towards the King's corpse, attempting to refine this supreme being's body into his own puppet.

However, he ultimately underestimated the dignity of a "king," even if that king was already dead.

A flicker of anger seemed to pass through the empty eye sockets of the corpse king.

The next second, an aura far more terrifying than before swept over the corpse of the king.

"puff--"

Deathstroke's prized enslavement techniques were as fragile as a sheet of paper before this aura, instantly shattering into pieces.

He didn't even have a chance to react. His body and soul disintegrated inch by inch under the impact of this aura, and he died on the spot!

A once-promising talent on the Hidden Dragon List has fallen.

This bloody and shocking scene terrified all the trapped creatures.

Those creatures that managed to escape were not safe.

Chaos was brought to its extreme at this moment.

Behind them, the king's corpse pressed closer, constantly emanating an aura of death.

Ahead lies the only hope for survival—the Blood God Tower.

On this race between life and death, the ugliness of human nature is laid bare.

"You stay here with me!"

A prodigy, while flying away, suddenly turned on his companion and killed him, all for the sake of stealing a secret treasure that the companion had fished out of the Blood Source Sea.

"Want to leave? Hand over your things!"

Sneak attacks, ambushes, betrayals... these are just some of the things that happen on this road to escape.

In order to lighten their own burdens, to plunder the wealth of others, and to make others cannon fodder to block the king's corpse, countless beings turned their butcher knives on their "fellow Daoists" who had fought side by side not long ago.

In an instant, divine light flashed wildly, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams and roars resounded through the sky.

The scene was a hundred times more chaotic and bloody than when they had besieged Qin Feng before.

This chaos continued until everyone crashed into an invisible barrier, which brought it to an abrupt end.

It was a curtain of light emanating from the towering, blood-red tower in the distance.

Upon entering the light curtain, it felt as if one had stepped into another world.

The overwhelming power behind him, capable of crushing everything, was instantly cut off.

The endless rage, fighting spirit, and fear that had risen in his heart from the escape and killing were quickly calmed and cooled down as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them.

All the survivors who rushed into the light curtain felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

However, within this calm, a strange and irrepressible impulse quietly arose.

A strong urge to break into the Blood God Tower ahead, leave my name there, gain unparalleled glory, and be remembered in history.

This impulse comes out of nowhere, yet it is incredibly real, as if it originates from the most primal desires deep within their souls.

No one knows how this impulse came about.

This is the unique wonder of the Blood God Tower.
