High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 341 Ultimate Divine Marquis! Ascending the List of Marquises! His Prestige Shakes the Universe!
Qin Feng withdrew his thoughts and looked into the depths of the universe, as if he could penetrate endless space and time to see the forbidden land in the universe called [Seven Heavens Abyss].

"The mission of the cosmic will has been completed; it is time to prepare for the next phase."

With a thought, he took a step forward, his figure instantly merging into the void and disappearing from this bloody battlefield.

Not long after Qin Feng left, several blurry yet imposing figures quietly descended. They were powerful kings of the human race, sent to investigate the battle situation.

When they saw this desolate star field and felt the remaining domineering aura belonging solely to Qin Feng, even their usually calm and collected minds were stirred with shock.

"One person...destroyed an army of 30,000?"

"He's only recently been promoted to the rank of Marquis?"

After the initial shock came unparalleled ecstasy and exhilaration.

They knew that humanity had given birth to a peerless genius who could truly change the future.

……

In a peaceful and tranquil star system far from the main shipping lanes of all races, Qin Feng's figure quietly appeared.

He chose a deserted planet, casually set up several layers of concealment and defense arrays, and then sat down cross-legged to begin his first deep seclusion since the great battle.

As his mind settled, an invisible and intangible yet supreme will quietly descended and enveloped his soul.

It is the will of the universe.

[The mission objective 'Primal Flame' has been acquired, and the mission executor's vital signs are stable, escaping certain death. Mission complete.]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]

A stream of light containing infinitely profound information surged into Qin Feng's sea of ​​consciousness in an instant.

It was not any physical object, but an incredibly detailed and complex star map.

At the heart of the star map lies an abyss shrouded in endless divine restrictions.

Seven Heavens Abyss Temple Map!
Qin Feng's divine sense was immersed in the map and he was immediately shocked by the information contained within it.

This map not only marks all known areas and paths within the Seven Heavens Abyss, but also provides a detailed analysis of the energy nodes, operational rules, and even the weakest points of those god-level restrictions in a way that transcends the understanding of laws.

Having this map means having an absolutely safe passage through the perilous Seven Heavens Abyss, where one wrong step could lead to annihilation.

Those divine restrictions that would deter even kings would be rendered useless before him.

"Divine magic..."

Qin Feng's breath hitched slightly, and an overwhelming desire surged within him.

"I have now mastered a true divine art—the Nine Tribulations Battle Codex."

He looked inward at himself, and the supreme codex that was directly imprinted in the depths of his soul, even after only a preliminary contact, made him feel its vastness and terror.

It is a terrifying divine technique that can comprehensively amplify all aspects, including the origin of life, the essence of the soul, and the foundation of the Great Dao. Once mastered, it will inevitably lead to a revolutionary leap in combat power.

"If I could acquire another divine spell, especially an offensive one, the improvement to my combat power would be immeasurable."

A thoughtful look flickered in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Unfortunately, mastering divine arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even if one obtains a divine art, it takes a long time to comprehend and hone it in order to fully digest it and transform it into one's own true strength."

He was very clear that although he had a solid foundation and extraordinary comprehension, divine arts were, after all, a way to touch the ultimate mysteries of the universe, and could not be mastered in a short time.

"Even so, we must fight for it! Divine arts must not fall into the hands of the myriad races!"

His gaze became incredibly firm.

"Even if I ultimately fail to obtain the divine technique myself, I can give this map to my master, or to other powerful Emperor-level experts of the human race. Their involvement will greatly increase the chances of successfully seizing the divine technique. In any case, this immense opportunity must remain with the human race!"

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about personal gains and losses, but about the interests of the entire community.

Having planned everything out, Qin Feng began to examine the time pressure he faced.

"The Seven Heavens Abyss will officially open in about 10,000 years. Its duration is unknown. We must adjust ourselves to our peak condition before then."

"As for Mount Eternal Life, that forbidden land that imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Emperor-level experts, it will reopen in about 90,000 years. At that time, countless Emperor-level experts who have been suppressed for endless years will break out, and the Golden Emperor... he will definitely come to find me first."

Ninety thousand years is an incredibly long time for mortals, but for a powerhouse of Qin Feng's caliber, it is merely a fleeting moment.

The pressure, like an invisible mountain, weighed heavily on his heart.

He must seize every minute and second to frantically improve his skills.

"Seclusion, begin!"

Qin Feng slowly closed his eyes, his entire aura completely merging with the surrounding desolate planet, as if he had turned into a stubborn rock, with no trace of life remaining.

His spiritual practice officially began, and from the very beginning, it was divided into three distinct yet complementary parts.

Firstly, his true self is engaged in the most crucial cultivation here—the deduction of the "Nine Tribulations Battle Canon".

His mind was completely absorbed in that divine secret technique.

Countless profound runes and mysteries flowed, collided, and recombined in his soul's sea of ​​consciousness.

Each rune seems to contain a complete universal truth.

Understanding any one of them requires a tremendous amount of effort and time.

Qin Feng did not rush to achieve quick results. Instead, he used the supreme analytical power of the [Primordial Furnace] Dao Seal to analyze it thread by thread and comprehend it bit by bit.

He used his invulnerable silver-white body as a testing ground, carefully drawing upon a trace of the Nine Tribulations Battle Canon to temper himself and personally experience the sublimation and transformation originating from the very source of life.

This process is tedious, lengthy, and fraught with danger.

If one is not careful, one may be backfired by the domineering power of the divine technique, resulting in damage to one's foundation.

Secondly, it was still his true self who, in the intervals between deduce divine arts, began to refine the "spoils of war" that had been accumulated for a full hundred years.

All the power of the more than 30,000 Marquis-level experts was devoured by the [Primordial Furnace] and transformed into a vast ocean of energy and information, stored within the core space of the Dao Seal.

At this moment, Qin Feng began to "refine" this ocean.

He sifted through, categorized, and refined those complex insights into the laws, extracting their essence and integrating it into his own Dao, using it as resources to perfect the "Path to the Limit."

He repeatedly washed his silver-white body with the vast, ocean-like life essence and soul energy, allowing this already "invulnerable" body to slowly advance towards a more profound and unfathomable level.

He analyzed all the battle memories and secret techniques he had accumulated throughout his life as a marquis, treating them as data and integrating them into his own combat instincts, which greatly enriched his methods and experience in fighting enemies.

This is an incredibly massive undertaking, its value no less than that of obtaining a royal-level treasure.

Thirdly, it was located billions of light-years away, within the [Qin Feng Universe City], which was specially built for him by the Human Race Holy Academy.

In the city's core temple, the perfect mechanical body forged from countless divine materials and supreme technology—the "Vanguard"—suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, flashing with the dazzling light of billions of stars rising and falling.

The "Vanguard's" mission is to devour and analyze the core of the forbidden-level "intelligent AI life form" that Qin Feng brought back from the Island of Death.

Simultaneously, they were deducing the three hundred million-level secret techniques that Qin Feng had taken from the Holy Academy.

These three hundred million secret techniques encompass everything.

The true self and the avatar, one internal and one external, one focusing on cultivating the fundamentals and the other on promoting all methods, work in parallel, propelling Qin Feng's strength rapidly towards an unfathomable realm.

……

Time slipped away quietly during this tedious yet fulfilling period of seclusion.

One year, ten years, a hundred years...

As the first millennium of Qin Feng's seclusion arrived.

Deep in the universe, in that realm representing the most fundamental rules of the universe, ripples suddenly appeared.

A magnificent golden light, spanning the entire territory of the human race and radiating to countless surrounding alien star systems, suddenly burst forth without warning.

Amidst the golden light, an enormous golden book slowly unfurled.

[Golden Book of Will of the Universe]!
Whether it's a fleet sailing through the starry sea, a powerful warrior fighting in a forbidden area, or a great being in seclusion in a holy land, as long as their cultivation level reaches planetary level or above, they can clearly "see" this awe-inspiring scene deep within their souls.

On the golden book are three most eye-catching lists, shining like stars. Each name on them represents a legend and the destiny of an era.

[Imperial Conferment Order], [King Conferment Order], [Marquis Conferment Order]!
Those who can leave their mark on these three lists are all unparalleled figures who have reached the pinnacle of their respective realms and possess terrifying achievements that have shaken the universe.

They are the strong ones personally recognized by the will of the universe, the true "Ten Emperors, Hundred Kings, and Thousand Marquises"!
At this moment, all the beings that sensed this scene were astonished to discover that the [Marquis Ranking], which represented the one thousand strongest people at the Marquis Realm, had actually changed!
At the very end of the list, a surge of light appeared, and the name that had been ranked 1,000th faded away. Then, the names on the entire list began to subtly shift.

A brand new name, accompanied by dazzling divine light, has risen from the bottom of the list with unstoppable momentum!
Nine hundred and ninety... nine hundred and fifty... nine hundred and twenty...

Ultimately, the name settled steadily at number nine hundred!

The dazzling golden light condensed into three ancient yet domineering characters—Qin Feng!
Following the name is the title personally bestowed by the will of the universe according to its fundamental principles—

【Ultimate Divine Marquis】!
Ranked 900th on the list of marquises, the Ultimate Divine Marquis, Qin Feng!
The moment this name appeared, it stirred up waves, large and small, throughout the entire universe and countless corners.

Because this title is too special.

The word "limit" signifies that the path he has taken is an unprecedented path to the limit.

The word "god" carries even greater significance.

This means that the will of the universe has acknowledged that the "path of the limit" he has taken is a "divine path" comparable to the inheritance of gods!
……

Qimingxing, First Martial Arts High School.

Lin Yue, who had long since retired and was leisurely strolling on campus, suddenly raised her head.

Deep in her soul, she clearly saw that golden list stretching across the sky, and that name she would never forget.

"Qin Feng..."

She murmured to herself, her cloudy eyes instantly filled with tears.

Shock, pride, relief... a mix of emotions overwhelmed her, the seasoned principal who had weathered many storms, causing her to momentarily lose her composure.

She still remembers the boy who sweated profusely on the playground, giving his all to get into Wudao High School.

In the blink of an eye, he had grown to a height that she could only look up to, a height that was beyond her even imagination.

"Ranking on the List of Marquises... Number 900..."

"The Ultimate Divine Marquis..."

Beside her, Gu Yue, who had also sensed all of this, was also in a daze.

"That kid... he... he was granted a marquisate? And he even made it onto the list of the will of the universe?"

They knew what being granted a title of nobility meant.

If the Domain Lord realm is considered to be the master of a part of the universe, it is a mythical existence.

Then, those who are granted the title of Marquis are truly giants who can influence the entire cosmic war situation!
They are the backbone of the human race, the battlefield generals who gallop across the battlefields of all races, wielding heavy troops and holding the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people in their hands!

Their student, Qin Feng, has actually grown to such a level!
……

Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University.

Inside the principal's office, Wu Shangfeng, after tens of thousands of years, had made extraordinary progress in strength. He had emerged from the Morning Star, gone to the battlefield of myriad races for training, and finally, when he was consolidating his realm, he chose to take on the position of principal of the Canaan Star Martial Arts University.

He was processing documents when a surge of emotion from his very soul made him instantly stop what he was doing.

He raised his head, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through the ceiling and seeing the golden book deep within the universe.

When the words "Limit God Marquis Qin Feng" came into view, even with his composure, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a genuine smile.

"Good lad, you really didn't disgrace Canaan."

He slowly stood up, walked to the window, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Finally, one of the students who graduated from the Morning Star has become famous throughout the universe at the Marquis level. Ultimate God Marquis... What an Ultimate God Marquis! It seems that he has truly succeeded in paving this path."

……

A core sacred site within the human realm.

Inside a temple suspended in the nebula, Yu Han was meditating and cultivating.

As a disciple of the Devouring King, the level of access he could have was far beyond what Wu Shangfeng and others could reach.

The moment the list of conferred titles changed, he immediately sensed it.

"Ok?"

He opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

When he saw the newly listed name and title, even with his composure, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Qin Feng?!"

"Nine hundredth? He just appeared on the list and immediately jumped to nine hundredth place?!"

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Yu Han's heart.

He knows better than anyone how difficult it is to get on this list!

That requires not only strength, but also an earth-shattering record that can be recognized by the will of the universe!

"Wait... News came from Luxiang a while ago... The Golden Emperor led 80,000 Marquis-level troops to besiege the Weapon Sect, but ultimately retreated unwillingly. Subsequently, the 80,000-strong Marquis-level allied army waited outside for a hundred years, only to be completely routed..."

"More than 30,000 nobles have perished..."

This achievement surprised even Yu Han.

……

Beyond the forbidden zone of the universe, the Seven Heavens Abyss.

This is the edge of the universe, where space is chaotic and the laws are broken.

A colossal, indescribable, pitch-black chasm stretches across the starry sky, like an unhealed scar on the universe.

Within the Rift Abyss lies eternal darkness and deathly silence; even the divine sense of a powerful Emperor cannot penetrate it to the slightest extent.

At this moment, in the void outside this rift, there was an unprecedentedly "lively" scene.

One after another, figures with terrifying auras that could make the stars tremble stood here.

Some of them sat enthroned on thrones made of white bones, their bodies radiating an overwhelming demonic aura.

Some transformed into mechanical fortresses the size of stars, their cannons flashing with a cold light capable of annihilating galaxies.

Some simply stand there quietly, yet seem to be one with the entire universe, their own laws, their own way of heaven.

Humans were crowned kings, demons were crowned kings, insectoids were crowned kings, and mechanical races were crowned kings...

Countless powerful beings who had been granted the title of King gathered here from all corners of the universe, forming distinct and powerful factions.

The air was thick with a tense atmosphere, as if swords were about to be drawn.

Every glance exchanged was enough to stir up ripples of the laws of nature in the void.

They were all waiting, waiting for the opening of the Seven Heavens Abyss.

Just then, the magnificent golden light pierced through the chaotic laws of the place and clearly appeared before all the King-level powerhouses.

The appearance of the Golden Book of Cosmic Will caused the extremely tense atmosphere to freeze for a moment.

All those who had been granted titles, regardless of what they were doing, simultaneously raised their heads and turned their gaze to the changing [List of Titles].

For these beings, the geniuses on the list of those who have been granted titles and honors represent the future of their respective clans. Every change in the list is something they pay close attention to.

"Oh? There are new names on the list of those who have been granted titles?"

A human king, shrouded in endless lightning, spoke with great interest.

"To be able to jump directly to the 900th place, it seems to be a remarkable achievement."

Another demon queen, with a graceful figure and an aura of life surrounding her, chuckled.

However, when that name and title were clearly revealed, the expressions of all the powerful figures who had been granted the title of King in the entire arena underwent subtle changes.

"Limit God Marquis... Qin Feng?"

This name was not unfamiliar to most of the kings present.

"Is that the little human who stirred up trouble on the Island of Death and was targeted by the ultimate killing trap set by all races?"

"I remember him. Didn't they say that he was given a public mission by the will of the universe, which attracted more than 60,000 marquises to hunt him down? How come... he didn't die?"

"Not only did he survive, but he also successfully rose to the rank of Marquis, and even... he killed 30,000 Marquises!!"

The human faction was filled with joy and excitement.

Meanwhile, the alien faction was shrouded in deathly silence and astonishment.

In particular, the face of one of the King-level experts leading the Golden Armored Beast Clan, to which the Golden Emperor belonged, instantly turned extremely gloomy.

He clearly remembered that in order to kill this boy, His Majesty the Golden Emperor even gave up the opportunity of [Mount Eternal Life] and personally took action to hunt him down.

But the result...

Qin Feng is not only alive and well, but he has also ascended to the "List of Marquises" in an even more dazzling and unstoppable manner!
what does this mean?
This means that His Majesty the Golden Emperor's top-level pursuit ended in failure!
Finally, the Golden Emperor entered the Eternal Mountain.

"The Ultimate Divine Marquis..."

A demon king with a profound and abyss-like aura slowly uttered the title, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light, "To be crowned with the word 'god'... Humanity, this is yet another extraordinary monster."

In an instant, the undercurrents in the void outside the Seven Heavens Abyss became even more turbulent because of this newly listed name.

Countless divine thoughts, some curious, some admiring, some cold, and some murderous, intertwined and collided in the void.

They all knew that from this day forward, the name "Qin Feng" would no longer simply represent a hunted genius, but someone who had truly stepped onto the cosmic stage and possessed the right to speak on equal terms with them, these veteran powerhouses...

Ultimate God Marquis!

……

The universe is vast, and the stars are dazzling. In a life-bearing star system that has not been extensively developed, a blue planet quietly floats in the void, exuding a gentle yet vibrant aura of life.

Beyond the planet, a figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint silvery-white glow, seemingly blending into the background of the universe. Unless deliberately investigated, even a powerful king passing by would only regard it as an ordinary piece of cosmic dust.

That figure was Qin Feng.

Ten thousand years have passed since that earth-shattering bloody battle in Luxiang.

Ten thousand years is, for mortals, the passing of dozens or hundreds of generations, the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields.

But for a powerhouse like Qin Feng, it was just a slightly longer period of seclusion.

At that moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes are those?
Profound and ancient, it seems to contain the mysteries of the beginning of the universe and the deathly silence of the end of all things.

There was not a trace of murderous intent in it; all the sharpness and ferocity had been thoroughly refined and restrained, returning to simplicity and transforming into the purest tranquility.

The moment he opened his eyes, the thin layer of silvery-white light around him receded back into his body like a tide, and a harmonious and seamless Daoist aura naturally spread out.

"a thousand years……"

Qin Feng muttered to himself, his voice carrying a sense of the passage of time.

He raised his hand, his five fingers slowly clenching. There was no earth-shattering aura, no surging power of laws, only an absolute, ultimate sense of control.

He could clearly sense that the basic particles in every inch of space in his palm were trembling slightly according to his will, as if he could easily annihilate them or recombine them into any form if he wanted to.

This is a manifestation of power being completely digested and perfectly controlled.

He began to take stock of the gains from his ten thousand years of seclusion. Clear thoughts flowed deep within his consciousness, and he summarized all the changes into three points.

Firstly, it concerns another leap forward in the foundation of one's own Great Dao—the [Limited Body].

The cosmic wonder [Void Black Flame] obtained from the forbidden land of Furnace Village, after 40,000 years of initial refining and 10,000 years of deep fusion, has become completely inseparable from his Dao Seal [Primordial Furnace].

At this moment, the Dao Seal is no longer merely about devouring and refining; it has also acquired a characteristic of "nothingness."

It can drag everything, tangible and intangible, into it, returning it to the most primordial nothingness, and then extract the essential primordial essence that Qin Feng needs from that nothingness.

As the most important "nourishment" for this seclusion, everything left behind by the more than 30,000 fallen Marquis-level beings, including their indestructible Dao seals, their lifelong cultivation of the laws, their abundant life essence, and even the remnants of the "limit" paths they walked, was completely "digested" by the Primordial Furnace over the past ten thousand years.

This is a feast for the senses.

A massive amount of primordial essence was continuously fed back to Qin Feng's [Limited Body]. His [Silver-White Body], which was already "impervious to all laws," began a new round of transformation under the nourishment of this enormous energy, enough to burst dozens of peak-level Marquis-level cultivators.

Qin Feng could clearly "inner vision" and see that the core of every basic particle in his body was imprinted with an extremely miniaturized [Primordial Furnace] mark.

These particles are no longer simple material structures, but rather more like independent energy circulation bodies with the characteristics of devouring and refining.

They are linked together in an incredibly mysterious way, forming an unprecedented and extraordinary material structure. This structure, in addition to making his [silver-white body] "impervious to all laws," also adds the terrifying characteristics of "self-repair" and "energy absorption."

Now, an attack from an ordinary Marquis would probably not even cause a ripple when it lands on him. Instead, it would be instantly absorbed and decomposed by the particle structure on the surface of his body, turning into the purest energy to replenish his own consumption.

"Compared to ten thousand years ago, the strength of my [Limited Body] has increased by at least 30% on the original basis."

Qin Feng made an accurate judgment in his mind.

This 30% increase is not a simple addition of power, but a fundamental improvement. If he was a piece of refined steel ten thousand years ago, then he is now a piece of super divine metal with shape memory alloy and its own energy conversion core. Its toughness, malleability, and combat endurance are all incomparable to what they were before.

Secondly, the accumulation of knowledge and secret techniques reached an unprecedented peak.

This credit is mainly due to the mechanical avatar "Vanguard," which is located billions of miles away in the Qin Feng Universe City.

During the ten thousand years that Qin Feng was in seclusion, the "Vanguard" never stopped for a moment.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the incarnation disassembled, categorized, and modeled the hundreds of millions of secret techniques for achieving the rank of Marquis that Qin Feng had brought out from the Human Race Holy Academy, seeking out the common laws and underlying logic within them.

Then, using Qin Feng's "Path to the Limit" as the core framework, these scattered fragments of laws are reassembled and woven together.

It eliminated 99% of the useless information and fused the remaining 1% of the essence into a set of brand-new "built-in secret technique modules" that perfectly matched Qin Feng's [Limited Body].

This process is like adding hundreds of millions of top-tier application software programs with different functions but perfect compatibility to each other to an already top-performing supercomputer.

Qin Feng's every breath, every heartbeat, and every energy flow unconsciously followed the optimal path set by these "secret technique modules".

His combat instincts, energy conversion efficiency, law resistance, physical attack capabilities... everything was greatly enhanced through this subtle transformation.

"The legacy of the Ancient King and the foundation of the Holy Academy... have increased the strength of my [Limited Body] by another 30%."

Qin Feng felt the harmonious and self-consistent power within his body, which seemed to contain infinite mysteries, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

With the two rounds of enhancement, his [Limited Body] has increased in overall strength by more than 60% compared to 10,000 years ago.

This means that although his cultivation level is still "Peak Marquis", his actual combat strength has far exceeded the scope that this level can define.

He now has a strong sense of confidence that if he were to face that army of 80,000 marquises again, he would not even need a hundred years, but perhaps only ten years, or even less, to completely slaughter them!

Finally, and thirdly, was the discovery of that truly divine secret technique—the Nine Tribulations Battle Codex.

Even with Qin Feng's current state of mind, mentioning this brought a bitter smile to his face.

too difficult.

It's so hard!

Divine arts, truly worthy of being called a supreme method bearing the name "divine".

It differs fundamentally from the secret arts that grant titles of nobility, kings, or even emperors.

If the latter is based on the in-depth application and development of existing universal laws, then divine arts are the modification and redefinition of the universal laws themselves!
The cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Battle Codex is not as simple as circulating energy and comprehending the laws step by step. It is more like a fundamental transformation of one's own "existence".

Its general outline is extremely profound; even the opening few characters contain a massive amount of information that could cause the soul of a powerful king to collapse.

It took Qin Feng thousands of years to barely understand the core essence of the first level.

The first layer corresponds to the "Conferring Titles" chapter, and its core is singular—the amplification of the Dao Seal.

But this so-called "increase" is an incomprehensible pattern.

It requires cultivators to use their own will as a carving knife and the origin of the universe as ink to inscribe a complete "Divine Tribulation Seal" on their own Dao Seal, stroke by stroke.

The complexity of this "Divine Calamity Seal" surpassed any array or rune Qin Feng was familiar with. It seemed to be a concrete manifestation of a cosmic calamity, filled with the supreme truth of destruction, rebirth, cycle, and end.

For ten thousand years, Qin Feng has devoted nearly ninety percent of his energy to conquering this divine technique.

However, even at the moment of his emergence from seclusion, he had only managed to inscribe a tiny, insignificant mark on that massive "Divine Calamity Seal," a progress of less than one percent.

"At this rate, it would probably take at least 100,000 years of hard work to completely master the first level of the Nine Tribulations Battle Manual."

Qin Feng made a mental estimate and couldn't help but shake his head.

Ten thousand years, and that's under the premise that he possesses a "pure black quality" soul, extraordinary comprehension, and the [Primal Furnace] continuously provides him with primordial energy.

If it were any other prodigy, even one who had walked the "path of gods," it would probably take a million years to even begin to grasp this divine art.

"but……"

A glint of light flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. "Although I've only scratched the surface, I can already clearly feel the boost to my strength."

He could feel that after inscribing that insignificant "Divine Tribulation Seal" on his indestructible Dao Seal, the efficiency of its operation, the speed of its absorption, and its refining ability all increased slightly out of thin air.

This seemingly insignificant detail can be the final straw that breaks the camel's back in actual combat, especially in a protracted war.

"The path to divine arts is long and arduous; it cannot be rushed."

Qin Feng composed himself and stopped dwelling on the matter.

Overall, the gains from this 10,000-year seclusion have been enormous.

His foundation was solidified to an unprecedented degree, and his strength experienced another explosive growth.

"Below the title of King, I fear no one; I am only one step away from divine prohibition."

Qin Feng stood up and cast his gaze into the distant depths of the universe, a direction that countless powerful individuals both yearn for and fear.

"It's about time to make a trip to the 'Seven Heavens Abyss'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark crack silently opened in the space in front of him, like an absolutely silent portal.

Qin Feng stepped in, and his figure instantly disappeared into this tranquil life-bearing star system, leaving not a trace.

……

A mysterious region in the universe.

Here, there are no stars, no light, and even the concepts of time and space seem extremely blurry and chaotic.

Seven enormous abysses, beyond description, like seven terrifying scars piercing through the dimensions of the universe, silently floated in the center of this void.

Each abyss presents a distorted, ever-changing color, as if woven from countless broken laws and chaotic energy.

At the edge of the abyss, the spatial barrier was cracked like glass, and chaotic energy leaked out from time to time, stirring the surrounding void like boiling water.

This place is the "Seven Heavens Abyss".

Legend has it that at the end of the last cosmic era, an unparalleled god perished here, his divine kingdom collapsed, and his divine body shattered, forming a cosmic wasteland.

At this moment, outside these seven abysses, in that vast and boundless void, there was not a scene of utter desolation.

Countless powerful auras, like blazing stars, dotted this dark canvas.

Looking around, countless enormous figures stand silently.

Even the weakest of these figures is a Marquis-level being.

They either gathered in small groups or alone, occupying a patch of empty space and radiating a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.

Surrounding these powerful figures who had been granted titles of nobility, an even more terrifying and profound aura, like invisible gravitational singularities, suppressed all directions.

That's a king-level powerhouse!
Their numbers were far fewer than those of those who had been granted titles, but each of them occupied a vast expanse of airspace, clearly separated from one another, and the oppressive aura they exuded caused a substantial distortion in the surrounding space.

Chains of divine laws swirled around them, and powerful Dao seals rose and fell behind them, creating an extremely terrifying sight.

This place is home to at least 30% of the world's current king-level powerhouses!
All eyes were fixed on the seven slowly rotating abysses, their gazes filled with solemnity, anticipation, and greed.

They are all waiting.

Waiting for the opening of the Seven Heavens Abyss.

According to the information conveyed by the will of the universe, the rules of the Seven Heavens Abyss are extremely special.

Beings below the rank of Emperor can safely enter and explore the endless opportunities left behind after the fall of the gods.

Those who are at the level of Emperor or above will be instantly annihilated by the remaining divine will and broken laws within the Heavenly Abyss.

The nobles entered Tianyuan to plunder secondary but still incredibly valuable resources such as divine blood, divine gold, and fragments of broken divine artifacts in the outer areas.

The kings of the various races all have only one goal—divine magic!
They entered the temple themselves and seized the divine magic.

At this moment, around the seven Heavenly Abysses, the vast factions have been clearly divided.

Led by the human race, they united with a few close allied races and occupied the areas near three of the Heavenly Abyss entrances.

Their formation was impenetrable, with war fortresses exuding an aura of iron and blood linked together to form an unbreakable steel defense line, radiating a unified and powerful presence.

At the other four entrances to the Heavenly Abyss, there is a multi-race alliance led by the most powerful races, including the demon race, the troll race, the insect race, and the mechanical race.

Their forces appeared even more diverse, with various flying palaces, demon nests, and biological warships of different styles mixed together. Although the atmosphere was chaotic, the enormous, concentrated killing intent and greed were like a chaotic beast that would devour anyone it could find, sending chills down one's spine.

Although the two sides have not yet started fighting, the terrifying atmosphere of tension and imminent conflict has already lowered the temperature of this void to freezing point.

In this area filled with the aura of countless powerful beings, there is a core area belonging to the human race.

There was no noise here, only four figures like pillars of strength, suppressing this void.

One of them was a burly man with long black hair. Just sitting there, he seemed to be able to swallow the universe whole. He was Qin Feng's master, the Devouring King.

The other person, surrounded by raging lightning, each bolt of electricity seemingly capable of tearing apart stars, was none other than the hot-tempered and unparalleled Thunder King.

In addition, there were two other kings.

One was an old man dressed in simple clothes, yet his aura was as vast and boundless as the starry sky. He was the "Star River King," who ranked extremely high on the Human Race King Ranking.

The other was a seemingly gentle middle-aged woman whose eyes seemed to hold the shadows of countless swords, known as "Queen Yaoguang," and who was also a renowned figure on the King Ranking.

These four individuals form the temporary command of the human race's operation in the Seven Heavens Abyss.

Their presence created an absolute domain, isolating them from all outside prying eyes.

Just then, the Devouring King suddenly opened his eyes, and an indescribable light of surprise shot out from those eyes that seemed capable of devouring everything.

"Hahaha, here comes the kid!"

Thunderstorm King, Star River King, and Yao Guang King all sensed something at almost the same time and turned their gazes toward the edge of the domain.

A streak of silvery-white light, ignoring the layers of guard arrays and divine sense scans surrounding the human camp, silently pierced through the domain they had set up, appearing before the four of them, like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

The light faded, revealing Qin Feng's calm yet resolute face.

"Master, Senior Thunderstorm King, and the other two seniors."

Qin Feng bowed slightly to the four people, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Qin Feng!"

The Devouring King stepped forward, patting Qin Feng's shoulder heavily with his large, fan-like hand. His eyes were filled with undisguised excitement and satisfaction. "Good! Good! Good! It's only been a short time since we last met, and you've already been promoted to Marquis!"

He could clearly sense that the power within Qin Feng's body, though restrained to the extreme, was still far superior in essence and quality to any peak Marquis he had ever seen!
"It seems that the [Primordial Flame] and your 'Path to the Limit' are indeed extremely compatible!"

Thunder King also burst into laughter, his voice like thunder, filled with satisfaction, "Ultimate Divine Marquis! What a fine 'Ultimate Divine Marquis'!"
How many years has it been since a title personally bestowed by the will of the universe was last given?

Those old guys who also followed the 'divine path' were all hiding in some unknown corner, accumulating strength, preparing to make a name for themselves in the golden age.

Now that you've obtained the [Primal Flame], you've already left them far behind at the starting line!

Thunderstorm King's words were filled with pride.

Those who have embarked on the "path to godhood" are all monsters from different eras, and each one will be a major threat in the future.

Qin Feng, as a human being who walks the path of the gods, has gained such a huge first-mover advantage, which is a shot in the arm for the entire human race.

"good,"

The Star River King stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration. "To reverse the fate of 30,000 marquises as a domain lord is an unprecedented feat. Qin Feng, your achievements are worthy of being recorded in the most glorious page of our human race's history. You truly deserve the title of 'Ultimate Divine Marquis'."

King Yaoguang nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his cool eyes: "Your aura is perfectly integrated and flawless. The solidity of your foundation far exceeds my imagination."

Faced with the praise from the four senior kings, Qin Feng remained calm. He knew that now was not the time for reminiscing.

He got straight to the point: "Master, esteemed seniors, I have brought something with me today that may be crucial to our next move."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a jade slip, shimmering with a faint golden light and composed of pure information flow, appeared out of thin air.

"This is……"

The Devouring King and the others raised an eyebrow, sensing a unique aura belonging to the will of the universe.

"This is the reward given to me by the will of the universe after it determined that I had completed the mission."

Qin Feng explained, "It's a complete map of the temple inside the Seven Heavens Abyss."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, even the four top-tier kings, who were used to seeing all sorts of storms, showed expressions of utter shock.

Temple map!

They knew all too well what this meant!

The Seven Heavens Abyss is fraught with danger, especially the temple, which is covered with restrictions left by the gods. One wrong step and you will be doomed.

The value of a complete map, personally certified by the will of the universe, is simply immeasurable!
It means that you can avoid all deadly traps, that you can go straight to the core place where the divine magic is stored, and that you are already far ahead of all races at the starting line!
"Okay! Okay!"

The Devouring King excitedly accepted the jade slip, and after scanning it with his divine sense, his face lit up with even greater joy. "It really is true! With this, our chances of seizing the divine technique can be increased by at least 50%!"

Qin Feng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Master, my idea is not to seek to take it completely."

"Oh?"

All four princes looked at him.

Qin Feng continued, "According to the information I have, the divine arts inheritance has been divided into seven parts, which are stored in seven independent but interconnected inheritance rooms."

Our goal shouldn't be to be greedy and try to have everything, but rather to concentrate all our resources, leverage the map's advantages, and seize one portion as quickly as possible, at any cost!

A rational glint shone in his eyes: "If we can successfully seize one portion, the Alliance of Myriad Races will only be able to gather a maximum of six portions. The value and threat of an incomplete divine technique will be greatly reduced. In this way, our strategic objective will be achieved."

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Devouring King and the others were stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought.

A moment later, all four of them showed expressions of immense satisfaction and appreciation.

What pleased them was not only the map Qin Feng brought, but also his clear-headedness, rationality, and sense of the bigger picture—putting the interests of the community above personal honor and disgrace—in the face of this tremendous achievement.

He could have kept the map to himself and used its advantage to maximize his own benefits within the temple. But he didn't. Instead, he immediately made it public and proposed the safest strategy, one that would benefit the entire human race.

This mindset and this magnanimity are the qualities that a true leader should possess.

"Qin Feng,"

The Devouring King put away the map, looked solemnly at his disciple, and said in a deep voice, "You're right. We were too attached to appearances."

"Heartfelt concern for humanity."

The Star River King exclaimed, "Having a prodigy like you is a blessing for our human race!"

At this moment, the four top human kings looked at the young man before them and seemed to see the hope and backbone of the future of humanity.

With such a gifted son, how can we worry about the golden age not flourishing!
