High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 325 Shocking Cloud Bat Marquis! He's the number one on the Prodigy Ranking?! He once protected Qin Feng, and now Qin Feng has saved his life!

what? !

A malevolent god? Qin Feng?!

These two words seem to contain a terrifying magic that makes words come true.

The swift, lightning-fast strike of the Mantis Marquis and the eternally suppressing divine mountain of the Rock Marquis were indeed momentarily momentarily stunned.

It was a mere fraction of a second of stagnation!

For a powerful expert at the Marquis level, this momentary daze might be insignificant in an ordinary battle.

But at this moment, in this place, before this ferocious god, this instantaneous flaw has already sealed their fate.

Almost simultaneously, a look of horror and disbelief, identical to that of Xie Gu Hou, flashed in their pupils.

This name carries far too much weight!
It was so heavy that it would shake the mind and cause the Dao heart of any powerful Marquis who roamed the universe and considered himself a hegemon to waver!
That is the supreme infamy that has been cultivated over the past tens of thousands of years on the battlefield of the younger generation of all races in the universe through endless slaughter and bloodshed!
That was the terrifying code name for someone who single-handedly annihilated a million-strong army of all races on the Island of Death and Fall, making countless geniuses tremble with fear!
That was the legend of the Bloodthirsty Slaughterer!

That was... a monster disguised as a human, who shouldn't even be measured by the "Domain Lord" realm!

However, it was too late to wake up.

Just as they lost their composure, Qin Feng made his move.

Faced with the earth-shattering thunderous attack from two mid-level Marquis-level experts, his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. His deep eyes were like two black holes that had swallowed eternity, as still as an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

It was as if what was about to strike was not the desperate blow of a powerful marquis, but two insignificant specks of dust.

He didn't dodge, didn't block, and didn't even adopt any defensive stance.

He simply and slowly raised the spear in his hand.

hum-

A faint, almost inaudible buzzing sound emanated from his body.

The Nine Killings Scripture, ninth level, is quietly operating.

An invisible, indescribable, and terrifying aura, like an ancient ferocious beast that had been dormant for billions of years, was awakening at this moment!

A sublimation of pure "quality" that originates from the essence of life and the foundation of existence!

His strength increased ninefold in that instant!

This star field, already shattered by the battle, groaned under the weight of this force the moment it was subjected to it.

The surrounding turbulent psionic energy was instantly calmed and suppressed, becoming utterly docile, as if it had encountered a king's subject, before this aura.

The Star-Devouring Spear in his hand did not employ any earth-shattering spear techniques, nor did it evolve into any complex or profound moves.

It was that simple: a thrust forward.

A movement that is pure to the extreme.

But this simple thrust contains the ultimate speed and the ultimate power in the universe.

Ten thousand times the speed of light!
The moment Qin Feng thrust out his spear, the concepts of time and space seemed to be completely blurred and pierced by that single shot.

In the eyes of the distant Cloud Bat Marquis and the terrified Evil Bone Marquis, the entire world, the entire universe, all colors, all sounds, and all laws vanished completely at this moment.

In their vision, in their perception, in the depths of their souls, only one thing remained.

That's a light.

A dazzling white-gold light that defies description and comprehension.

The point of light shone from the tip of Qin Feng's spear.

It is not big, so small that it seems to be just a speck of dust.

But it is also incredibly vast, so vast that it seems to be the sum of all the light and energy in the entire universe, a "primordial singularity" that is about to create or destroy the world.

The moment the light appeared, the Mantis Marquis's deadly bone blade and the Rock Marquis's suppressing divine mountain, though seemingly within reach, appeared to be frozen in time.

Then, the point of light vanished in a flash.

There is no process.

It was as if the moment it lit up, it had already arrived at any place it wanted to go.

Start later but arrive first.

Its trajectory was incredibly precise, simultaneously striking both the "Absolute Kill" Dao Seal of the Mantis Marquis, which was filled with tyranny and slaughter, and the "Suppress" Dao Seal of the Rock Marquis, which was incredibly heavy and seemed capable of suppressing eternity.

The next moment, a scene that Yunfu Hou and Xiegu Hou would never forget, and that would even become their eternal nightmare, unfolded.

Annihilation is a chilling, soul-chilling experience.

A silent, thorough, conceptual erasure.

The indestructible Dao Seal, which embodied the life's work and profound understanding of the Great Dao of two intermediate-level Marquises, looked like pure white snow under the warm March sun or fragile ice crystals thrown into lava in front of that dazzling white-gold light.

First, the light of the billions of runes flowing on it dimmed instantly. Then, spiderweb-like fine cracks appeared on the Dao Seal itself, which was comparable to the hardest divine metal in the universe.

Finally, in less than a thousandth of a second, the two powerful Dao seals silently began to dissolve, disintegrate, and decompose... ultimately transforming into the most primordial and purest spiritual energy particles in the universe, completely returning to nothingness.

Destroy everything!

Extremely domineering!

This scene completely overturned Yunfuhou and Xieguhou's understanding of power.

The Dao Seal is the foundation of powerful Marquises; it is the manifestation of their Great Dao and the source of their power!
Even for a powerhouse of the same level, injuring him would be incredibly difficult, let alone annihilating him so easily and in an instant!
What terrifying power this is!
And this is just the beginning.

With the Dao Seal shattered, its owner naturally suffered unimaginable backlash.

"puff!"

"Ugh—!"

The two powerful marquises, Dao Mantis Marquis and Pan Shi Marquis, who had just been arrogant and regarded Qin Feng as an ant, were struck as if by a million lightning bolts the moment their Dao Seals were destroyed. Their souls were as if they had been hit by an invisible giant hammer, and they suffered irreversible damage in an instant.

At this moment, their consciousness was plunged into a brief blank and excruciating pain.

However, they didn't even have time to experience that excruciating pain.

Because that unparalleled penetrating power, which pierced through their Dao seals, still carried the terrifying attribute of "annihilating" everything, and precisely pierced through their physical bodies.

Their physical bodies are powerful and precious, forged through countless trials, capable of bathing in the core of a star and traversing the edge of a black hole.

But in the face of the power unleashed by Qin Feng's [Limited Body], all this solidity was as fragile as paper.

There was no blood splattering, no severed limbs.

Their collapse began from within.

Starting from the tiny particle struck by the spear's edge, an irresistible force of disintegration instantly spread throughout their entire bodies.

Their cells, their genes, their soul imprints... everything that constitutes their "existence" was wiped out from the root by this one shot.

The body is like a sandcastle with all its supporting pillars removed, turning into the most primitive cosmic dust, inch by inch, silently, starting from the inside out.

From soul to body, this is a complete, irreversible, absolute death.

It was all over in a single breath.

Just one shot.

Two mid-level Marquis-level beings, powerful enough to dominate a star field in the universe and strike fear into the hearts of countless living beings, were thus annihilated, body and soul.

With their demise, the entire battlefield fell into an eerily silent stillness.

The previously rampant psionic turbulence has subsided.

The aftershocks of that law, powerful enough to tear stars apart, dissipated.

Only the figure clad in black power armor remained, standing silently with a gun in hand, as if he had merely brushed two specks of dust off his shoulder, doing something insignificant and trivial.

The tip of the dark golden Star-Devouring Spear still hung naturally, but in the eyes of Evil Bone Marquis and Cloud Bat Marquis, the spear tip was no longer pointing at the void of the universe, but at the cycle of life and death of the entire universe.

He has no Dao seal.

Yes, from beginning to end, he did not emit any Dao seal fluctuations belonging to a Marquis-level expert.

But he himself, with his seemingly not particularly imposing physique, is a being more terrifying, more domineering, and more unreasonable than any Dao Seal.

His "Ultimate Body" granted him a physical body that transcended the laws of nature.

His "pure black quality" spiritual power gave him the will to see through all weaknesses.

His bloodthirsty heart, honed through millennia of deadly battles in the Bloodstained Martial Arts Arena and in his struggle against the will of the evil god, together constituted his terrifying strength that could crush all those of the same level, and even those of higher levels, and was beyond the comprehension of common sense!
"Gulu..."

In the deathly silence of the battlefield, a labored swallowing sound rang out.

No, that wasn't a swallowing sound, but rather the vibrations emitted by the Evil Bone Marquis's soul as it instinctively contracted and trembled under extreme fear.

His enormous, skeletal centipede body, spanning a light-year, was trembling violently with uncontrollable fear, like a withered leaf about to be torn apart in a storm.

The compound eyes on his countless limbs stared intently at Qin Feng, his pupils already contracted to their limit. The figure reflected in his eyes was ten thousand times, a hundred million times more terrifying than the deepest fear!
When he witnessed his two companions, two mid-level Marquis-level warriors of similar strength, being wiped out of the universe with a single shot by the opponent, their Dao seals, physical bodies, and soul origins were completely destroyed, the last shred of hope he had left vanished.

It's really him!

The intelligence was correct!
The "List of Prodigies" is correct!

This monster... this monster disguised as a domain lord... he is not a domain lord at all!
Do not!
In the mind of the Evil Bone Marquis, those legends flashed wildly like a slideshow:
[One man single-handedly defeats an army of ten thousand; on the island of death, with the flick of his wrist, he annihilates millions of geniuses from countless races!]

[He instantly killed five domain lords; his ferocious power caused the heavens and earth to lose their color!]

[After ten thousand years of bloody battles, in the arena of the Chaos God, as a Domain Lord, he defied the odds and slew a mid-level Marquis!]

……

He once thought these were just stories, legends, and powerless boasts of humanity.

Only today, only now, does he truly understand from the bottom of his soul that those legends were not exaggerated at all, but rather... greatly underestimated the terror of the man before him!
escape!
This was the only remaining thought in his mind at that moment, and also the clearest and strongest one.

There was no hesitation.

There was no room for complacency.

They didn't even dare to say a polite word, for fear of attracting even the slightest attention from the other party.

The enormous white bone centipede body of the Evil Bone Marquis twisted violently!
"boom--!!!"

At this moment, the primal power within him was ignited by him recklessly and frantically!
A raging fire of the soul burst forth from every bone fragment of his body. It was not an attack, but a forbidden technique that sacrificed himself to gain instantaneous explosive power!
Burn a portion of your own primordial Dao seal!
For any powerful figure who has achieved the rank of Marquis, this is a painful price to pay, damaging the foundation of their Great Dao and requiring countless years to make up for.

But Xie Gu Hou didn't even blink.

Because he knew perfectly well that compared to his own life, to having that man erase all traces of him in this universe with a single shot, this price was simply the most worthwhile deal in the world!
Driven by the terrifying force of burning his own essence, his massive body instantly burst forth with a speed exceeding his own limits, transforming into a twisted white streak of light that tore through space and turned to flee madly in the opposite direction from Qin Feng!

Its speed was so great that it even left a lingering spatial afterimage in the spot.

His resolute, panicked, and desperate demeanor made it seem as if he was being chased not by a person, but by a ferocious god.

……

The starry sky was deathly silent. The chaotic flow of spiritual energy after the collapse of the Dao Seal was like a magnificent wound torn open by a cosmic giant, raging and roaring in this broken meteorite belt.

The enormous demonic body of the Evil Bone Marquis, spanning a light-year, was now fleeing madly in despair in an unprecedented manner.

His millions of skeletal limbs thrashed about wildly, each movement tearing open a fragile space and performing extremely unstable short-distance spatial jumps.

The raging spatial turbulence was like billions of invisible blades, slicing fiercely across his bone armor, splashing dazzling energy sparks and bringing excruciating pain that penetrated deep into his soul.

But he didn't care at all, and didn't even utter a sound, because compared to the shadow of death brought by the man behind him, this pain was like a gentle breeze.

run! Must run!
Use every means at all costs!
This was the only thought in his mind at that moment, driven by the deepest fear instinct of his soul.

"Explode! Explode! Explode them all!"

The Evil Bone Marquis's divine sense roared madly. In his storage space, those lower-level marquis-level secret treasures that he once regarded as treasures and collected at the cost of countless years and resources were now being thrown behind him without hesitation, as if they were garbage.

A broken ancient bell, its body covered with cracks, once had the power to suppress a star field;
A bone shield engraved with a demon god totem, its surface dimmed, had once withstood a fatal blow from a peer.
A broken spear, its tip still retaining a trace of indomitable killing intent, once pierced the chests of countless powerful enemies...

Dozens of such treasures, each carrying the hard work and glory of a Marquis-level expert, each enough to drive ordinary Domain Lord-level experts mad and unleash a bloodbath.

But at this moment, their only destiny is to be transformed into dazzling fireworks that hinder the footsteps of death, driven by the resolute and insane divine will of the Evil Bone Marquis.

Boom! Boom! Rumble—!
A series of explosions erupted in the desolate starry sky.

A terrifying psionic storm swept across the land with destructive force, laws were annihilated in the collision, and Daoist principles were shattered in the explosion.

Each "firework" creates a chaotic and disordered lawless realm. They are interconnected and intertwined to form a vast and boundless death zone. Any living being that falls into it will be torn into the most basic particles in an instant.

This is the way of survival of the Evil Bone Marquis.

It's worth sacrificing the legacy of dozens of powerful figures to pave a path to survival for myself, even if it only stops that man for a moment!
However, right after this destructive storm, powerful enough to deter any mid-level Marquis, a figure strolled out leisurely.

Qin Feng's eyes remained calm and undisturbed, as if the world-destroying scene before him was nothing more than an insignificant illusion.

He simply took a step.

This step, though seemingly slow, appears to transcend the boundaries of time and space, shrinking the distance to an inch, making the world seem like a mere "foot" away.

His figure blurred instantly, as if merging into the void. In the next instant, he had already passed through the absolute death zone formed by the self-destruction of dozens of Marquis-level treasures and appeared silently behind the Evil Bone Marquis.

Not too fast, not too slow.

That posture didn't seem like he was hunting down a strong opponent of the same level; it was more like a cat-and-mouse game, full of absolute control and indifferent mockery.

The violent spiritual energy generated by the self-destruction of the Evil Bone Marquis's secret treasure was easily repelled by a faint, moonlit white light when it came within three feet of Qin Feng.

That was the radiance naturally emanating from the [Limited Body], an absolute domain formed by pure, ultimate physical power.

Unassailable by all laws, and repelled by all evil!
Before this physical body that has already embarked on the "path to divinity," the so-called storm is no different from a gentle breeze.

"He...he's caught up!"

When Xie Gu Hou's incredibly keen senses once again perceived the tranquil aura behind him that followed him like a nightmare, for the first time, a despair more terrifying than death itself appeared on his face, which was composed of countless compound eyes.

The dead souls are all coming!

Liver and gallbladder split!

His supposedly invincible methods of fighting to the death proved utterly ineffective against his opponent!
This monster... this ferocious god... just how powerful is he?!
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

The Evil Bone Lord let out a silent, shrill roar in his heart. Extreme fear and the desire to survive intertwined, giving rise to his final madness.

He knew that conventional methods had completely lost their meaning. If he wanted to survive, he had to use his trump card, the one he himself was reluctant to use!
"Roar--!"

A roar that seemed to come from the primordial chaos erupted from the very core of Evil Bone Marquis's soul.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of metal, no bigger than a palm, covered in rust, looking unremarkable and as if it might shatter into dust at any moment, slowly flew out from his core.

This fragment looked so ordinary and unremarkable, without even a trace of psionic energy fluctuation.

However, the moment it appeared in this starry sky, a vast, boundless, ancient, and domineering aura... seemingly surpassing all living beings in this universe, suddenly spread out!

Om-!
At this moment, the entire starry sky seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand!
Time and space froze, spiritual energy stopped, and even Qin Feng's ultimate body, which could travel at ten thousand times the speed of light, felt a barely perceptible absolute suppression originating from his life level, causing his speed to stagnate.

This is a genuine fragment of a weapon belonging to a "King-level" powerhouse of the demon race! It is a supreme treasure that Xie Gu Hou obtained by chance 90,000 years ago after venturing into an extremely dangerous ancient ruin and experiencing countless near-death experiences!

Even a mere fragment, with a trace of the Dao of Kings remaining on it, is enough to suppress a space-time, making it impossible for ordinary Marquis-level experts to even move a finger.

At this moment, in order to save his life, a look of overwhelming pain and determination flashed in Xie Gu Hou's eyes.

"Give it to me! Explode it!"

Without hesitation, he detonated this priceless treasure, which was enough to allow him to exchange for massive resources and even glimpse the path to becoming a king!

He knew very well that nothing, no matter how precious, was more important than his own life.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. But if I were to perish here today, all of this would be for naught!
Boom——! ! !
A terrifying energy storm, far exceeding the combined power of the previous dozens of self-destructed treasures, swept outwards from the fragment with a deafening roar!
That was not a simple psionic explosion, but the collapse and annihilation of a higher level of law!

The fragments of Daoist essence belonging to the King-level powerhouses released their final radiance amidst the destruction, forming a brief but absolute area of ​​chaotic laws.

Within this region, time, space, the five elements, cause and effect... everything was stirred into a chaotic mess.

Using this unimaginably powerful backlash, Xie Gu Hou once again frantically burned his own essence. His enormous white bone demon body instantly became illusory, transforming into a stream of light that was almost impossible for any divine sense to capture. He plunged headlong into that chaotic area of ​​laws and completely disappeared into the depths of the universe.

Qin Feng's figure slowly came to a stop outside the center of that erupting kingly aura.

He looked in the direction where Xie Gu Hou had disappeared, and for the first time, a slight frown appeared in his usually calm eyes.

The self-destruction of the King-Sealing Treasure Fragment did cause him a little trouble.

Even with his [Limited Body], venturing into that chaotic area of ​​laws would present unnecessary obstacles. Catching up to it would inevitably require considerable effort.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

A mid-level Marquis who fled in panic, even at the cost of burning his own essence and self-destructing a King-level treasure, has lost all threat.

Wasting time and energy chasing him is far less worthwhile than taking the readily available and plentiful spoils.

"That's all."

With a thought in his mind, Qin Feng abandoned the pursuit.

His divine sense, like an invisible tide, instantly covered the ravaged battlefield.

Marquis Daomang and Marquis Panshi, these two arrogant mid-level marquises, were annihilated by the [Inch of Light] in one strike. Although their physical bodies and Dao seals turned into cosmic dust, their storage equipment and the fragments of Dao seals that had not completely dissipated after their collapse still floated quietly in the void.

In addition, there were the remains of dozens of lower-level marquis-level treasures that Evil Bone Marquis had deliberately discarded and detonated in order to escape.

These things would be an unimaginable fortune for any powerful figure who has been granted the title of Marquis.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Qin Feng collected all the spoils scattered throughout the starry sky, which transformed into streaks of light.

Having done all this, he hovered in the starry sky, his eyes calmly scanning the void, and slowly uttered two words.

"furnace!"

Om-!
As he finished speaking, the space behind him began to violently distort and collapse.

A colossal, indescribable, illusory furnace, seemingly forged from the molten metal of billions of stars, appeared out of nowhere!

This furnace is an ancient and profound dark gold color. Its surface is covered with extremely complex runes. These runes seem to have a life of their own, flowing slowly. Each time they light up or fade, they resonate with the laws of the surrounding universe.

The furnace's opening resembled a slowly rotating miniature black hole, emanating a terrifying suction force capable of devouring everything, as if it wanted to completely swallow this entire sea of ​​stars.

The Primal Forge!

It can refine all things and return them to their original state!

Qin Feng remained indifferent and waved his hand dismissively.

The two mid-level Marquis he had just slain—the Blade Mantis Marquis and the Rock Marquis—had their primordial particles, containing the essence of their life's cultivation, remaining after being annihilated by the [Inch of Light]. These particles were drawn by an invisible force and transformed into two dazzling galaxies, flowing back into the furnace.

Next came the dozens of broken Marquis-level secret treasures, and the fragment of the King-level secret treasure whose spiritual energy had not yet completely dissipated after being detonated by the Evil Bone Marquis…

Everything was thrown into the terrifying primordial furnace by him, as if it were scrap metal.

boom!
Inside the furnace, it was as if a real sun was being ignited.

A raging fire rose up, and countless chains of order intertwined and ground wildly in the furnace, attempting to break everything thrown into it down into the most primordial energy.

However, this time, even the invincible Primal Forge encountered a slight "slowness".

The bodies of powerful individuals at the Marquis level have long been tempered by their own "Dao Imprints," with every cell and every inch of bone containing an indestructible Daoist imprint.

Those secret treasures for bestowing titles and honors are forged from various rare and precious materials from the universe, and their sturdiness is far beyond that of ordinary materials.

Qin Feng could clearly feel a tremendous, stubborn resistance emanating from inside the furnace.

The fire blazed fiercely, and the chains ground together with a grating, teeth-grinding sound.

Those high-level substances, although decomposing under the burning of the primordial fire, decomposed at an unusually "slow" rate.

A minute passed... Inside the furnace, the primordial particles of the Mantis Marquis and the Rock Marquis continued their stubborn resistance, radiating the final brilliance of their respective Great Daos. The remnants of those marquis-level treasures floated in the furnace fire, their spiritual light dimming, yet they maintained their final core form.

Two minutes passed... The resistance began to weaken, the Daoist imprint was gradually worn away, and cracks began to appear in the core of the treasure.

Three minutes later!

With an ancient roar that seemed to come from the beginning of the universe, all resistance within the primordial furnace was finally shattered under the relentless and frenzied refining process of the primordial furnace!
All matter, whether it was the body of a marquis imbued with Daoist principles or the remains of an indestructible treasure, was completely decomposed, purified, and recombined at this moment!
Then it was all absorbed by Qin Feng's ultimate formation and transformed into nutrients for Qin Feng's physical advancement.

Then, Qin Feng's divine sense stirred.

Pure black spiritual energy swept across the void.

Two crystals, each about the size of a fist and exhibiting the purest rhomboid shape, slowly flew out from the roaring furnace fire and eventually hovered quietly in his palm.

These two crystals radiate an extremely brilliant light, and their interiors seem to contain billions of stars flowing through them, creating a dreamlike beauty.

This is a soul crystal of a Marquis-level being refined from the complete essence of two intermediate-level Marquis-level beings!

The spiritual energy contained within it is of such high quality and immense power that it far surpasses that of previous domain lords.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

According to the "Secret Technique of Intelligent Devouring", the new intelligent AI created using this level of soul crystal as a core will have the potential and upper limit of growth that is truly "at the level of a marquis"!
This is priceless to Qin Feng!

This means that he will have a "soul pasture" that can grow to the level of a marquis.

Once its soul has reached its full potential, absorbing it will provide a boost to the user's own soul power that is thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of the previous domain lord-level AIs!
This is the true foundation upon which his future soul power will continue to surge!

After all this was done, the starry sky returned to absolute stillness.

……

When that illusory furnace, seemingly forged from the stars of the universe, completely erased all traces of the two mid-level Marquis-level beings and extracted two dazzling soul crystals...

They quietly disappeared behind Qin Feng.

This fragmented meteorite belt has fallen into complete silence.

The Cloud Bat Marquis, standing to the side, still had his broken Dao Seal dissipating its essence, and his cracked body was still dripping with golden blood. But his eyes had long since lost focus, and he was like a stone statue weathered for millions of years, floating blankly in the cold void.

His brain, which could once deduce billions of array changes in an instant, was now a chaotic blank.

"In the blink of an eye... two beings of the same rank were killed... and one was scared away..."

These words echoed repeatedly in the depths of his soul. Each time they rang out, they caused his Dao heart, which had been cultivated for millions of years and was already indestructible, to shake violently, almost to the point of collapse.

"This...this is something a domain lord can do?"

His throat bobbed, but no sound came out.

He witnessed it all firsthand, from the sudden appearance of that figure to the casual thrust of the spear, and then to the two powerful enemies who had fought him for months and brought him to the brink of death several times, vanishing silently like bubbles in the sunlight.

What an overbearing power this is!

What a terrifying state of being this!

This isn't a battle, this is a dimensional attack!

This is a god looking down on ants!
A tremendous wave surged through Yunfuhou's heart. He felt that his cultivation philosophy, which he had built up over millions of years, had been completely shattered at this moment, and then crushed into dust under his feet.

He witnessed firsthand what is "unreasonable" and what is "defying the heavens".

"Qin Feng..."

He struggled to search for the name in his jumbled memories.

He heard that name amidst the shrill, terrified roar of the Evil Bone Marquis's soul.

Very familiar.

It seems I heard it not long ago.

Fragments of memory, like the remnants of shattered stars, were slowly pieced together in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Scenes began to emerge: an even more ancient and magnificent ruin, permeated with the desolate atmosphere of an immortal king's fall.

Ruins of the Ancient Luo King!

Yes, that's the place.

At that time, as one of the protectors dispatched by the Human Race Holy Academy, he was responsible for guarding a region and striving for opportunities for the most outstanding young talents in the race.

In his memory, there was a young figure, also holding a long spear, with a resolute gaze, who stood out among the prodigies of all races, showing no sign of backing down.

That young man's name is Qin Feng.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Yunfuhou was struck as if by lightning. He trembled violently, and his eyes revealed an even more horrified and incredulous expression than when he had just witnessed the two marquises being instantly killed.

"The Ruins of the Ancient Luo King..."

He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse, "Wasn't that... only forty thousand years ago?"

Forty thousand years!
What does this unit of time mean to a powerful figure like him who has lived for several eras and has been granted the title of Marquis?
It might just be a short period of seclusion to comprehend some kind of secret technique.

It might just be the time it takes to make a long journey through space.

Forty thousand years ago, there was a younger generation who needed his protection and that of a group of powerful marquises to compete for opportunities in the Ruins of Kings.

Forty thousand years later, at the moment of his despair when he was about to die, he descended like a god, and with a casual strike, killed the powerful enemy in his eyes and saved his life.

This rate of growth completely overturned his entire understanding of the word "spiritual practice".

Even those legendary divine children born with the will of the universe, even those monstrous geniuses who have been sleeping since the ancient times, could not possibly have such a terrifying growth curve!

"..."

Yunfu Hou shook his head abruptly; he had realized a crucial point.

Ever since he narrowly escaped death from that ancient ruin and obtained that incredible opportunity, he has been targeted by powerful figures from all races.

During the more than a thousand years of pursuit and escape, he almost completely cut off all contact with the outside world, focusing all his energy on how to survive.

Therefore, he had no idea that the name "Qin Feng" had stirred up such a terrifying storm of bloodshed throughout the entire universe in just 40,000 years.

"The Ranking of Prodigies!"

Filled with extreme shock and doubt, Yunfu Hou endured the excruciating pain in his soul caused by the shattering of the Dao Seal, and separated a wisp of divine thought to connect with the omnipresent will of the universe.

His will precisely input the three words "Top Pride List" amidst the vast torrent of information.

hum!
A colossal, golden list, seemingly composed of billions of stars, slowly unfolded in his mind.

Countless names shine on the list, each representing the highest achievement of a galaxy or civilization among its younger generation, and possessing unparalleled potential.

Yunfuhou's gaze swept past the dense list of names below and landed on the very top of the list.

There, a name is shining with an unprecedented brilliance, like the simultaneous explosion of billions of stars.

The light was so intense and so domineering that all the names below paled in comparison, as if fireflies were vying for brilliance with the moon.

The light almost blinded him and pierced his soul.

[Ranking of Prodigies] First: Qin Feng (Human Race)

Title: Fierce God

The moment Yun Fuhou saw those words, his breath caught in his throat.

His heart skipped a beat.

His soul felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand at that moment.

It's really him!

It really is that descendant from 40,000 years ago!

His gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, was fixed on the rows of shocking battle records inscribed with Daoist runes below.

Record:

—On the Island of Death, he single-handedly annihilated a million-strong army of myriad races, including many powerful figures at the Marquis level.

—In the Crimson Martial Arts Arena, a life-or-death struggle lasting ten thousand years ensues with the Intermediate-Ranked Marquis, Blood Slaughter Marquis. In dire straits, he steals the Great Dao from his enemy and ultimately uses the enemy's own Dao against him, reversing the Marquis's fate.

—Facing the descent of the chaotic evil god "Khorne," he fought against the god's seduction for 150,000 years in a mental war within an illusion, ultimately achieving perfect enlightenment and immortality of will.

"hiss……"

Yunfu Hou gasped in shock at the cold, vacuum-like atmosphere of the universe.

Each word was like an unparalleled hammer forged from divine metal, striking his mind fiercely and mercilessly.

Each of his achievements was enough to make any powerful figure who had been granted the title of Marquis shudder and feel utterly terrified.

Annihilating a million-strong army? Thirty percent of them were domain lords! What terrifying killing power that is!
He asked himself, even at his peak, if he were caught in a battle formation of 100,000 equals, he would only perish.

A life-or-death struggle, a reversal of fortune to be granted a title?

What incredible willpower and extraordinary comprehension this is!
What's more, that was in the despair arena set up by the evil god!

How can one withstand the will of the gods for 150,000 years without becoming corrupt?

This...this is beyond his comprehension!

That's a god! The most supreme being in the universe, whose will can crush galaxies and whose thought can corrupt a civilization.

Qin Feng actually... endured for 150,000 years right under the nose of that being?

At this moment, Lord Yunfu finally understood.

He finally understood why a mere regional lord could instantly kill two mid-level marquises with a single shot.

Any one of these achievements on the list is enough to prove that the strength of this young man can no longer be measured by the word "level".

Qin Feng's strength is truly terrifying.

The prodigy who once needed his protection has now grown to such an extent!

Yunfu Hou was deeply shocked.
