High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 320 The Prodigy Ranking Descends to Number One! The Ferocious God Qin Feng! The Awarding Ceremony Shakes the Empire!
[Results:]

[Part 1: A divine path traversed over three thousand years, unprecedented in history.]

[Part Two: Upon first entering the Domain Lord realm, on the Island of Death and Fall, he slew six peak-level Domain Lords of the Divine Forbidden Realm and slaughtered an army of 400,000 of the same rank.]

[Part Three: Upon first entering the Domain Lord realm, in the Crimson Martial Arena, he reversed the situation and defeated the intermediate-level Marquis 'Blood Slaughter Marquis'.]

[Four: In the illusion where the Blood God Khorne personally descended, he steadfastly upheld his Daoist principles for 150,000 years, never falling into depravity, and never believing in the Blood God.]

Each of the four short records was like a divine hammer containing immense power, smashing hard into the hearts of everyone who saw it, leaving them dizzy and disoriented!
Three thousand years to walk the divine path?
What is this concept?
For the vast majority of living beings, the term "divine path" exists only in the oldest legends; it is a theoretical path leading to the ultimate goal!
Throughout countless eras, countless brilliant minds have tried, but without exception, they have all failed.

And this Qin Feng not only achieved it, but also only took three thousand years?

Is this a joke?
Upon first entering the Domain Lord realm, he slew six Great Divine Restrictions and slaughtered an army of 400,000 Domain Lords.
This is simply a fantasy!
The term "divine prodigy" is synonymous with being invincible among their peers; each one is a darling of their era.

The combined might of six divine beings is enough to sweep away any battlefield at the domain lord level.

But they were actually killed by someone who had just been promoted to the same rank?
And that army of 400,000—not 400,000 pigs, but 400,000 domain lord-level powerhouses capable of traversing the starry sea!
A reversal of fortune, achieving a mid-level title?!
If the first two achievements were still challenging everyone's understanding, then this one completely shattered all their common sense about the realm of martial arts!
Between a domain lord and a marquis, there is a chasm called the "Dao Seal," a difference in the essence of life, the distinction between an ant and a dragon.

Throughout history, there have been instances where prodigies from forbidden realms have fought against those who had just reached the initial stage of a marquisate, but those battles were merely exchanges of blows.

But to "reverse the kill" and kill a well-established mid-level marquis... this can no longer be explained by common sense!
As for Article 4...

When they saw the words "Blood God's terror" and "Upholding the Dao Heart for 150,000 years", even those who were highly skilled and were granted the titles of King and Emperor could not help but gasp, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!

Compared to those astonishing achievements, this last one is what truly terrifies them!

Who is Khorne?

That is the Chaos God, the progenitor of manipulating souls and wills, a terrifying existence that even emperors are unwilling to easily provoke!
His personal seduction was a whisper from the gods, an allure that pointed directly to the very essence of the soul.

Let alone being crowned an emperor, even the ruler of the universe could be bewitched if one is not careful.

Qin Feng not only refused, but also fought against it in the illusion for a full 150,000 years!

What an unbreakable will!
What an incredibly terrifying Dao heart this is!
Finally, there is the final evaluation given by the will of the universe.

[Evaluation: The divine path has been paved; invincible throughout the universe]

These eight simple words seem like an ultimate judgment from fate!

This is not the speculation of some powerful figure, nor the expectation of some force, but the supreme will of this universe, which personally stamped Qin Feng's future with the seal of "invincibility"!

After a deathly silence, the entire universe erupted in a roaring uproar!
……

Alliance of All Races, Void Temple.

This temple, formed from the remnants of countless shattered universes, floats in endless darkness, exuding a chilling aura of decay and unease.

At this moment, deep within the temple, a majestic figure, shrouded in prismatic light and whose face was obscured, suddenly slammed his hand on the throne beneath him!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire temple trembled violently, and countless profound chains of divine laws flickered wildly on the temple walls, nearly shattering on the spot.

"Qin! Feng!"

The roar of the Prism Emperor was like a million bolts of lightning exploding within the temple, the fury and killing intent contained within almost igniting this entire space-time.

He stared intently at the golden list in the void, especially the eight characters "The path to divinity is clear, invincible throughout the universe," which stung his eyes.

"The Divine Path...it's the Divine Path again!"

The voice of the Prism Emperor was filled with resentment.

He recalled the royal battle outside the Island of Death and Fall not long ago, and the young man who had been risked to be protected by the Lord of Limits and the Devouring King right under his nose.

At the time, although he was shocked that the other party had embarked on the "path of divinity," deep down he did not really regard him as a threat of the same level.

After all, Blood Slaughter Marquis had already pursued and killed him, while a prematurely deceased genius meant nothing.

But now, this list from the will of the universe is like a resounding slap in the face!
He was granted a noble title through a rebellious act!

Resist the tyranny and incitement!

This is not something that needs to grow and sprout; it is a prehistoric behemoth that already has fangs and is growing wildly at an incredible speed!
"If this child is not spared, he will surely become a great threat!"

The roar of the Prism Emperor echoed in the temple, and his icy will instantly spread throughout the high-level network of the entire Alliance of Myriad Races.

"Pass on my order! Issue the highest-level alliance warrant for the human race's 'Qin Feng'! Regardless of whether he is alive or dead, anyone who brings back his body or soul will be rewarded with a royal treasure!"

Upon hearing this decree, countless powerful figures from all races who were paying attention to the matter were horrified.

The secret treasure of the emperor!

Those are supreme treasures that only emperor-level beings can refine and use. Each one possesses earth-shattering power and is a strategic resource that can drive even a powerful race crazy.

They actually offered such an exorbitant price for a young man who hasn't even been granted a title yet?

But everyone understood that Prism Emperor was not insane.

Although a treasure for bestowing the title of Emperor is precious, what is it compared to a mortal enemy destined to be "invincible in the universe" in the future?
We must nip this threat in the bud at all costs!
……

In another desolate region of the universe, within the core of a dying star.

A terrifying behemoth, its entire body covered in golden armor and its size large enough to treat planets like marbles, slowly opened its eyes, which were more dazzling than the stars.

The King of the Golden Armored Beast Clan—the Golden Emperor!
His gaze also fell upon the [Ranking of Prodigies].

When he saw the name "Qin Feng," a violent killing intent uncontrollably emanated from his body, freezing the surrounding star cores with a layer of golden frost.

When his gaze swept over Qin Feng's historical records and saw a trace of cause and effect related to the "Ancient Luo King Ruins" mentioned in a veiled way, his killing intent instantly surged to its peak!
"King Guro..."

The Golden Emperor's deep roar shook the entire star, causing it to groan in agony. "I knew it! Why did that old man's remnant soul linger in those ruins for so long? It turns out he was waiting for such a successor!"

He didn't need to ask or guess at all.

Based on his understanding of King Guro, that old man would definitely have made a contract before disappearing, and the content of the contract could only be two things—

First, revenge!

Kill him, Golden Emperor!

Secondly, for the sake of inheritance! For the sake of his disgusting winged race!
If it were any ordinary cultivator, even one chosen by the Emperor, the Golden Emperor wouldn't take them seriously.

What difference is there between the vows of ants and dust in the wind?
But now, the one who accepts this contract is a monster who has embarked on the "path of gods" and has been personally certified by the will of the universe as the "invincible in the universe" in the future!

This is like an ant suddenly saying to a giant dragon, "I will definitely kill you in the future."

The dragon might just laugh it off.

But if this ant is stamped with a seal that says "It will surely become the master of the universe in the future," then this oath becomes the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of a giant!
The Golden Emperor sensed an unprecedented threat!
"Guluo... he really is a persistent ghost!"

The Golden Emperor slowly rose from the star core, his massive body stirring up endless storms of psionic energy.

He did not issue an arrest warrant like Emperor Lingguang did.

Because he knew that against a monster of this caliber, any schemes, tricks, or sheer numbers would be of little use.

Only by using absolute power to personally crush it completely can one truly feel at ease!

"Qin Feng..."

The Golden Emperor's icy gaze pierced through endless time and space. He abandoned his seclusion, left his clan, and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the vast universe.

He would personally travel throughout the universe, and as soon as he obtained even the slightest information about Qin Feng, he would immediately descend with overwhelming force to completely eliminate that future threat!

……

In a secret realm within the human territory, protected by numerous restrictions.

A tall, handsome young man with an almost otherworldly appearance was sitting cross-legged under a divine tree that emitted a seven-colored glow.

His aura flowed around him, as if he had become one with the entire secret realm.

It was Caesar.

The vibration of the cosmic will also awakened him from his immersion in cultivation.

When he saw that familiar name rise to the top of the "List of Prodigies" in an unprecedented way, a rare, genuine, and radiant smile appeared on his perpetually icy face.

"Qin Feng..."

He murmured the name softly, his eyes filled with nothing but pure admiration and joy, devoid of any jealousy.

"I knew it, you never disappoint."

He was genuinely happy for Qin Feng, but at the same time, he felt an unprecedented pressure and motivation.

"Invincible in the world? Heh, this path won't be so easy for you to walk alone..."

Caesar smiled and shook his head, then closed his eyes again, his aura becoming even more refined and profound.

His best friend's glory is the best motivation for him to move forward.

Meanwhile, in every corner of the human territory, Taimi, Longzhan, Canglang... all the geniuses who had interacted with Qin Feng and fought side by side, all erupted in thunderous cheers the moment they saw the rankings.

That was pure joy, a pride that came from the bottom of my heart!

……

Headquarters of the Human Holy Academy.

The survivors of the Island of Death, including the Marquis of Qingtian, the Marquis of Liewu, and 120 other powerful figures who were reborn from the ashes, are now gathered at the summit of a sacred mountain.

When they saw the news on the list of prodigies, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

"He survived... Qin Feng really survived!"

The voice of the Marquis of Qingtian trembled slightly.

"I knew it! That kid is a miracle!"

Marquis Liewu clenched his fist and laughed loudly, "What blood-red martial arts arena, what blood god's bewitchment, in front of him, they are all just chickens and dogs!"

"The prodigies of our human race will never perish! The future of our human race is bright!"

These tough, hardened warriors, who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, were now as excited as children.

Qin Feng was not only their savior, but also the hope for the future of humanity that they had witnessed firsthand.

His safety has long been on everyone's mind.

Now, the declaration of the will of the universe has completely dispelled all the gloom in their hearts.

……

The highest level of the Holy Academy, in that eternal pure land that exists outside of time and space, untouched even by the passage of time.

A figure whose majesty defies description sat quietly on a chaotic stone platform.

He seemed to be the center of the universe, and his every breath stirred up the tides of endless laws.

He is one of the highest rulers of the Human Race Holy Academy, the Lord of Limits.

The radiant golden [Ranking of Prodigies] also slowly appeared in the void before him.

His gaze was calm as water, sweeping over Qin Feng's astonishing achievements without much ripple, as if everything was within his expectations.

However, when his gaze finally settled on the phrase "Upholding the Daoist heart for 150,000 years and never believing in the Blood God," a faint, approving smile finally appeared on his usually calm face.

"Boy..."

The Lord of Limits murmured to himself, his voice carrying a rare hint of gentleness.

"To resist the temptations of terror and still maintain one's true nature is truly admirable."

He knew better than anyone what terrifying will and Dao heart lay behind this achievement.

That was a quality that even he had to take notice of.

"The path to the limit is a narrow bridge treading on the edge of a knife. It requires not only immense strength, but also a heart that never loses its way and never falls into depravity..."

His gaze deepened, as if piercing through endless years and seeing the path he had once walked.

"I wonder if you, kid, can truly succeed at the path to the limit that I couldn't complete..."

A long sigh echoed in the eternal Pure Land.

A moment later, the Lord of Limits regained his composure, and that faint smile reappeared on his face.

His grand and majestic voice slowly rose and spread throughout the entire Holy Academy headquarters.

"Someone is coming."

"Prepare for the medal-awarding ceremony to celebrate the achievements of Qin Feng, the pride of our human race!"

……

The Holy Academy, this supreme palace suspended at the heart of the human race's territory, is so vast and magnificent that it has long surpassed the ordinary beings' understanding of the word "academy."

It is itself a condensed universe, created by supreme power.

Ancient stars were transformed into streetlights, hanging on both sides of the white jade-paved divine path, which is longer than the galaxies themselves; dazzling galaxies were captured and transformed into a ceaseless waterfall in the courtyard, washing over the ancient and immortal stones.

Here, the concept of space is blurred, and the flow of time can be artificially manipulated. The primordial energy of the universe, so dense it seems to permeate everything, is omnipresent like air, nourishing every blade of grass, every grain of sand, and every stone in this place.

At this moment, the Holy Academy continues to operate as usual.

Countless human prodigies, martial artists, and cultivators, like a swarm of carp crossing a river, traversed between the various floating divine islands, each with its own unique function.

Some debated the law with their classmates in the Hall of Discussions, sparking flashes of wisdom.
Some are battling data phantoms inside the Trial Tower, honing their skills;
Even more extreme, some people sit cross-legged beneath the Star River Waterfall, experiencing the grandeur and magnificence of the universe at its beginning.

The update to the Prodigy Ranking by the Cosmic Will was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a monstrous wave within this vast academy.

"Did you see that? The Prodigy Ranking! The top spot has changed hands!"

"...How domineering! The will of the universe would actually give such a evaluation!"

"Look at the battle record! My God! A divine path traversed three thousand years... This... This has overturned my understanding of martial arts! Unheard of in all of history!"

"Upon entering the Domain Lord realm, he slew six peak-level Divine Forbidden Realm experts and defeated 400,000 opponents of the same rank... Is this even human? This is practically an ancient ferocious beast in human skin!"

"The most terrifying thing is the last one! To hold fast to one's Dao heart for 150,000 years in the Blood God Illusion! The Blood God! That is the most skilled at bewitching among the Chaos Evil Gods! 150,000 years... I'm afraid my Dao heart wouldn't even last an hour before I completely degenerate into a madman who only knows how to kill!"

"Invincible throughout the universe! Even the will of the universe has given such an evaluation... What an honor, what recognition!"

Discussing, exclamations, and gasps of astonishment echoed throughout every corner of the Holy Temple.

Almost all the students and all the martial artists who came and went, whether they were in seclusion or practicing, were alarmed by this news.

They repeatedly looked at the brief yet weighty description of the battle achievements; each word felt like a heavy hammer, striking their minds fiercely.

Before today, the name Qin Feng was just a legend to most of the warriors in the Holy Academy, a somewhat vague symbol of a hero that came back from the battlefield of the Island of Death.

But from this day forward, this name has become a towering and immortal monument, imprinted deep in the soul of every individual, becoming a goal that countless geniuses must look up to, strive to catch up with, and even a goal they can never reach in their lifetime.

However, the Holy Academy was far too busy, with the number of martial artists numbering in the hundreds of millions.

After the initial shock and frenzy subsided, most people quickly returned to their own spiritual practice.

For them, Qin Feng's strength was certainly inspiring, but it was ultimately someone else's glory.

The best way to pay tribute to this human hero is to transform this awe into motivation and strive to improve oneself.

Therefore, after experiencing an unprecedented storm, the overall atmosphere of the Holy Temple gradually returned to its former order and tranquility.

However, no one knew that a grand welcome ceremony, prepared for this hero, was about to begin in the sky above them.

at this time--

click!
Click click... click click click—

As if the spine of the universe had been forcibly broken, a crisp yet chilling cracking sound resounded without warning across the central continent of the Holy Academy.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black, bottomless crack was slowly torn open by an invisible hand, to the horror of countless people!

That was no ordinary spatial rift; at its edge burned an intensely brilliant silver flame, the result of the collapse of spatial laws.

Deep within the rift lay a void even purer than the deepest black hole, seemingly connecting to the other side of the universe. "A spatial passage! So stable… a powerful Emperor-level expert has intervened!"

boom--! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying imperial might, as ancient as Gaia, surged forth from the enormous spatial rift like a cosmic torrent bursting its banks!

This oppressive force was terrifying. It wasn't directed at anyone; its very existence caused the Holy Academy Main Continent below to suddenly sink!
Countless students felt their souls trembling, as if billions of divine mountains were pressing down on their heads, almost freezing their thoughts.

Some of the weaker Black Hole-level martial artists even turned deathly pale.

"He is the emperor of my human race!"

"More than one! My God, this aura... it's the Sky-Splitting Emperor! That supreme will that controls space and tears apart all things!"

"And...and that domineering aura that seemed capable of devouring all the stars in the heavens...it's the Devouring King!"

Among the crowd, some students with powerful backgrounds recognized the source of these oppressive auras, and their voices were filled with excitement and awe.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, several towering figures slowly stepped out from the enormous spatial rift.

They seemed to be ancient gods who had stepped out of myths and legends, each exuding a terrifying aura capable of crushing the eternal sky.

The laws of space swirled around the Sky-Splitting Emperor, and with each step he took, countless small worlds were created and destroyed beneath his feet.

Behind the Devouring King, it seemed to connect to an endless black hole universe, where any light or divine thought that approached would be instantly swallowed up and returned to eternal silence.

Besides them, there were several other powerful figures of unfathomable power, including those who had been granted the titles of Emperor and King, who stood guard like the most loyal protectors.

Such a stellar lineup, all for the sake of welcoming just one person!
In the center of those towering figures, like gods and demons, emerged a slightly slender yet upright figure, as unyielding as a divine spear.

He was dressed in black, his face resolute, but his eyes were as deep as the ancient starry sky, containing a sense of vicissitude and determination that transcended the years.

Qin Feng's aura was not as domineering and outward as the surrounding emperors, but rather extremely restrained, like a stubborn rock that had been eroded for millions of years, calm, resilient, and unshakable.

In an instant, the entire Holy Academy continent fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were focused on that young figure.

The next moment, someone shouted out at the top of their lungs.

"It's Qin Feng!!"

This name, like a star that has been detonated, instantly ignited everyone's emotions!
"Qin Feng!!"

"It's Qin Feng! He's back! He's alive!!"

"Our human race's eternal pride!!"

"The hero has returned!!"

Cheers!
The deafening cheers, like a landslide and a tsunami, swept across the entire Holy Temple!
Countless martial artists, regardless of age, gender, or cultivation level, were flushed with excitement. They raised their arms and shouted, using all their strength to vent their joy and excitement.

They can't forget!
Forty thousand years ago, when battle reports from the Isle of Death came like snowflakes, the devastating news that the human expeditionary force was besieged and annihilated almost crushed everyone's spirits.

That despair and indignation are still vivid in my mind.

They can't forget it either!

Ten thousand years ago, when the human race’s leadership suddenly announced that they had completely seized control of the Island of Death and captured a massive amount of cosmic crystals, the enormous contrast between hell and heaven brought tears of joy to countless people!

The key figure behind this miracle is none other than Qin Feng!
They will never forget it!

When Qin Feng's name suddenly appeared at the top of the list of geniuses, behind his astonishing achievements, the cruel truth that he was being hunted down by Blood Slaughter Marquis and his fate was unknown was also revealed.

For a full ten thousand years, everyone's hearts were in their throats, praying for this peerless genius of the human race and feeling deep concern for his future.

Now, he's back!
Not only did he return alive, but he was also personally escorted by several emperors and kings, reigning supreme in the Holy Academy with unparalleled glory!

How could this not excite them? How could it not drive them wild?!
Among the crowd, several familiar figures were also gazing up at the figure that everyone was watching in the sky, their eyes reddening.

"Good, good, good..."

Master Sanruo's usually lazy face now showed a genuine, gratified smile.

Among the crowd in the East Courtyard were Diwen, Qianyue, and others.

They looked at their comrade who had once fought alongside them in the Holy Trial Grounds, now standing at a height they would have to spend their entire lives looking up to.

There was no jealousy in their hearts, only pride and honor.

"This guy... always manages to create miracles."

Yunzhou smiled with admiration, genuinely happy for him.

The warriors who had been on the Island of Death, including Long Zhan and Cang Lang, were so excited that they trembled all over.

They knew better than anyone what Qin Feng had sacrificed and endured for the human race.

Seeing him return in glory at this moment, the excitement and gratitude I felt were indescribable.

Above the sky, facing the cheers below that were like a boiling ocean, Qin Feng revealed a gentle smile.

He gently waved to the crowd below, a simple gesture that ignited an even more enthusiastic cheer.

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!"

The sound waves soared into the sky, making the entire starry sky hum.

"All right."

The Devouring King's booming voice rang out. He glanced at the excited students below, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and then said to Qin Feng, "Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and a group of powerful figures, along with Qin Feng, vanished from their original spot in a flash and directly entered the main hall of the Holy Academy, the most core area of ​​the Holy Academy, a place inaccessible to ordinary beings.

……

The main temple is one of the true centers of power for the human race.

Within the hall, laws intertwine, and the Daoist rhythm is naturally formed. Every floor tile contains immortal matter, and every beam and pillar is engraved with ancient heritage.

"Qin Feng, why don't you rest here for a while?"

The Devouring King pointed to a secluded, spiritually rich grotto-heaven and said to Qin Feng.

His tone was full of concern and relief.

"The awarding ceremony will begin in three days."

He paused, a mysterious smile appearing on his face. "The reward for you from above has already been given. Don't be scared when it comes. Prepare yourself well."

"it is good."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, his expression calm.

Everything he did was for the sake of humanity and for his own martial arts, not for any reward.

But since the human race wanted to bestow this honor and reward upon him, he naturally wouldn't refuse it out of politeness. He accepted it readily, because it was something he had earned with his life.

Moreover, a sense of curiosity did indeed arise in his heart.

Given the merits he has made, what kind of reward will the human race's higher-ups give him?
He entered the blessed land that the Devouring King had arranged for him and sat cross-legged.

During these three days, he did not completely relax, but instead began to sort out his own thoughts.

Through countless battles, he not only obtained the "Nine Killings Scripture," but also elevated his understanding of combat and his comprehension of the "Path to the Limit" to a new level during the life-and-death struggle.

In particular, his struggle against the will of Khorne, which lasted for 150,000 years (the time of the illusion), honed his Dao heart to an unprecedented level of strength and purity.

He needs time to fully internalize these gains and transform them into his true foundation.

……

Three days is but a fleeting moment for the Holy Academy.

But for the past three days, the entire Holy Academy has been busy preparing for an upcoming grand ceremony.

A star temple, sealed away for countless years and only opened when humanity faced momentous historical events or to celebrate the achievements of heroes who had made unparalleled contributions, has been reactivated.

This temple is so magnificent that it is a supreme treasure in itself, with its interior forming a universe of its own.

When it was activated, the entire Holy Academy continent was enveloped in its divine radiance.

The medal-awarding ceremony was officially held.

Although the awarding ceremony was held at the Holy Academy, it was broadcast live by countless viewing venues throughout the human territory!

Inside the temple, it was already packed with people, yet orderly and quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

At the very bottom of the temple are tens of millions of the most elite Black Hole-level warriors of the human race.

They stood silently, dressed in uniform armor, forming imposing square formations.

Each of them is like a black hole about to explode, silently containing a terrifying power capable of tearing apart the stars.

These tens of millions of auras converged, forming a suffocating torrent of iron and blood.

Above them was a smaller formation of Domain Lord-level warriors, but with a more powerful and refined aura.

They are the backbone of humanity on the cosmic battlefield, each commanding a territory.

Further up, in that vast void, figures appeared and disappeared.

They were powerful figures of the human race, each of whom had condensed a Dao Seal.

They dotted the void like stars, clearly distinct from one another, each radiating its own unique Daoist charm.

At even higher levels are the rarer, yet even more terrifying, King-level powerhouses.

They were like stars, radiating brilliance, and simply sitting there caused ripples in the surrounding space.

And in the highest and most distant sky, several figures, like ancient gods, sat quietly on thrones formed from the condensation of laws.

They are the pillars of humanity, the true giants—Emperors!
The beings who were enshrined as saints or cosmic venerables did not appear.

Because the human race is conquering other secret realms.

At the highest point, where everyone's gaze fell, stood an enormous, unadorned white jade platform.

On the high platform, the avatar of the Lord of Limits, a figure of light and shadow formed from pure laws and will, stood silently, his existence seemingly the center of this universe.

Before him stood a tall, solitary figure.

It was Qin Feng.

At this moment, he had changed into a specially made blue-gold power armor.

This suit of armor is full of a sense of weight and majesty, and its style is exactly the same as the armor worn by the heroes who followed the emperor to conquer the stars in the early days of the empire.

The shoulder armor of the battle armor was imprinted with the emblem of the Human Holy Academy and the totem of the Devouring King lineage.

Two medals were already hanging on his chest—the Imperial First Medal and the Order of the Rising Star.

These two medals represent his glorious past, from emerging from the Morning Star to rising to prominence in the battle of geniuses.

Today, this place will be adorned with new and even more dazzling glory.

The radiant avatar of the Lord of Limits, with its grand and majestic voice, resounded in every corner of the temple and deep within the soul of every person.

"Human race, Limitless Battle Group, Canaan system, Morning Star warrior, Qin Feng."

The voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.

"He has repeatedly made outstanding contributions in battle."

At the critical moment of the Isle of Death and Fall, he single-handedly infiltrated, surrounded by countless races, and rescued over nine thousand isolated and helpless Black Hole-level beings, over one thousand Domain Lord-level warriors, and one hundred and twenty Marquis-level warriors of my race!

"Amidst a vast army, he reversed the tide and slew six peak-level domain lords of the Divine Forbidden Realm, killing over a million enemy soldiers! He seized countless resurrection marks! He secured billions of cosmic crystals for our human race, laying the foundation for victory!"

Even when trapped in dire straits, hunted by a marquis, and accidentally stumbled into the Bloodstained Martial Arts Arena, facing certain death and the temptation of an evil god, Qin Feng still managed to carve out a path to survival! He defied the Blood Slaughter Marquis!

The voice of the Lord of Limits, every word was like the grand pronouncements of the Great Dao, causing the blood of countless martial artists below to boil.

"By a unified decision of the Holy Terra and the Supreme Council of the Human Race Holy Academy, Qin Feng is hereby awarded the 'Medal of Desperation,' 'Medal of Martial Might,' and 'Medal of Champion' to commend his unparalleled martial prowess and the awe-inspiring might of our human race!"

"The medal-awarding ceremony shall begin!"

The voice of the Lord of Limits was like a final command.

As soon as he finished speaking—

Crash-! ! !
One movement, a perfectly synchronized movement that seemed to be controlled by the same soul!

Inside the temple, the tens of millions of black hole-level beings and the countless domain lord-level warriors all straightened their backs and stood up at the same time!

The terrifying power emanating from them, like a black hole or a star, surged into the sky without reservation at this moment!

This torrent of iron will, forged from the will of millions, is so powerful and vast that it can move even the strongest!
Countless gazes converged, focusing on the young figure on the high platform.

In those eyes, there was awe, gratitude, fervor, and worship!

Qin Feng felt the fire of honor in his heart ignite completely at this moment, burning fiercely!

How familiar this scene is!

He felt as if he had returned to his childhood, back to the morning star, and saw the scene of Company Commander Zhou Xiong receiving his medal in front of everyone.

Back then, he was someone who could only watch the recordings from afar, but today, he has become a hero on stage receiving this supreme honor!
"Awarding of medals!"

The voice of the Lord of Limits rang out once more.

"salute!"

Crash-!
Another series of perfectly synchronized, chilling metallic clanging sounds followed!
Thousands of powerful arms clenched into fists and pounded hard against his hard power armor chest, producing a muffled sound like the thunder of ancient war drums!
Then, millions of arms suddenly rose up, performing the most solemn and sublime imperial military salute!
The movements were crisp, clean, and full of power!
The next moment, a roar that embodied the will of millions of people resounded through the sky!

"Qin Feng! Please accept the medal!!"

The sound was like thunder, the sound waves like the tide, echoing repeatedly in the temple, shaking even the laws of the universe!

Among them, the most fanatical were two galaxy-level warriors.

Wang Hao, Wang Jie!
They were qualified to participate in this award ceremony because of the battles around the Island of Death and because of their status as Qin Feng's relatives and friends!

On the high platform, Qin Feng stood solemnly with a determined look in his eyes.

He also raised his arm, clenched his iron fist, and slammed it hard against the chest of his blue-gold power armor, returning the same solemn Imperial military salute!

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the avatar of the Lord of Limits stepped forward and took out three medals shining with immortal divine light from the void.

A medal, engraved with a sword that cuts through thorns and darkness to bring light, embodies an indomitable will; it is the "Medal of Desperation".

The other medal is engraved with a towering deity, whose fist shatters stars and whose feet tread the universe, exuding invincible dominance and majesty. It is the "Martial Might Medal".

There is also a "Champion Medal" engraved with swords!
The Lord of Limits moved gently, yet with an indescribable solemnity, personally hanging the three medals, representing the highest honor of humanity, on Qin Feng's power armor.

The instant the medal made contact with the power armor, a voice, tinged with a faint smile, that only Qin Feng could hear, resounded deep within his soul.

"Good job, kid."

"That concludes the public ceremony. Now let's talk about the real rewards."

"Considering your future development and as a reward for your achievements, the Holy Academy has decided to allocate a territory to you..."

"The territory is not large, probably... about seven or eight hundred universe kingdoms."

Everything in these cosmic nations is under your jurisdiction, and you possess supreme autonomy.

"Furthermore, given your personality, I hereby grant you the authority to establish the 'Wandering Merchants' group."

With this permission, you can build your own fleet and explore the unknown, endless sea.

To represent our human race in making contact with newly discovered civilizations, and even to wage war against them.

All spoils are yours.

"There are also some resources, divine metals, secret techniques... all sorts of random things, all packed up and placed in your personal subspace storage unit. You can check them out when you have time."

The voice of the Lord of Limits calmly recounted rewards that would drive any martial artist mad, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
