High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 350 The Birth of the Golden Emperor! The Seven-Colored Bodhi Fruit! Thirty thousand years have passed in a flash!
【…】

Qin Feng's gaze slowly swept over the long list of names that flashed with cold killing intent, and finally settled on the title at the very top that he would never forget—Golden Emperor.

The initial astonishment, like a pebble thrown into a lake, created ripples before quickly subsiding, replaced by a stillness as deep as an abyss.

He felt neither anger nor fear.

Having reached his current level of understanding and maturity, he has already grasped some of the essential aspects of how the universe works.

"I see……"

Qin Feng muttered to himself, his voice unusually clear in the empty cave.

"The Golden Age... Is this how the Golden Age begins?"

He slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts racing, instantly connecting all the clues.

Since he left the Isle of Death and forged the "Path of Gods" and the [Ultimate Body], the attention of the cosmic will has been ever-present. From the initial public mission that placed him under the siege of 60,000 marquises, to now, using the entire Star Abyss as a chessboard to lay out this ultimate killing game that encompasses countless powerful figures.

None of this is accidental.

The so-called golden age is not a gentle, widespread opportunity, but rather the universe's most brutal and efficient "selection" in order to cope with some unknown catastrophe or to complete its own sublimation.

It will select the strongest beings of this era and concentrate all resources and fortune on a few, or even a single, "winner".

Qin Feng, having embarked on an unprecedented and limitless "path to divine power," possessed terrifying combat strength capable of defeating even a king at the level of a marquis, making him undoubtedly the most dazzling and least "conventional" variable in this great selection process.

The will of the universe has no independent emotions; it only follows the most fundamental laws of balance and evolution.

Such "outliers" as him either prove their worthiness to lead the times in the most severe tests, or they are used as whetstones to hone themselves into true "sons of the times."
Or perhaps, they will simply be completely wiped out in this grand "breeding of gu" (a metaphor for a form of genocide).

The current deadly situation is the first, and perhaps the most deadly, test that the will of the universe has tailored for him.

It locked him and his greatest opportunity—the [Weeping God Gold]—into this cage called Kurgan Star Abyss.

It gave him a seemingly impossible task—to refine one of the thirty-six divine metals that even the Emperor Feng coveted within thirty thousand years.

Then, it extended an invitation to all the powerful beings in the universe who had a grudge against him or were qualified to contend with him.

His life, and all the treasures he possessed, were offered as the ultimate prize in this bloody feast.

Jin Huang, the nemesis who saw him as a major threat and was determined to nip him in the bud, would naturally not miss this opportunity for a decisive kill, which was "officially certified" by the will of the universe.

The Heavenly King, that ancient prodigy who also embarked on the path to godhood and regarded him as the resource for his own enlightenment, would surely be moved by the news.

And the hundreds of flashing names on the list are all infamous kings in their respective races. They either have a blood feud with the human race or simply covet his inheritance and divine gold.

The will of the universe, in the simplest and most effective way, erected the enemy of the entire universe for itself.

"Thirty thousand years from now, when the restrictions are lifted, this place will become the most insane meat grinder in the entire universe."

Qin Feng's analysis was cold and objective.

At that time, the Golden Emperor will come, the Heavenly King will come, and countless other kings, and even those kings who have been alerted and escaped from certain secret realms, may descend upon this place.

If he fails to refine the divine metal and push his strength to a new peak by then, he will only be torn to pieces by countless powerful beings.

"but……"

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Risk and reward are always directly proportional."

His gaze fell upon the mission reward.

【Three Thousand Ancient Secret Techniques】

This is no ordinary secret technique.

The rewards for missions undertaken by the will of the universe are never ordinary.

When he completed the mission with the difficulty of death, the reward he received was the [Final Singularity], which forged his supreme foundation.

This time, the reward may not be as extraordinary as before, but its value is exactly what he needs right now.

Knowledge!

A vast amount of high-quality knowledge, sufficient to support his transformation from "Tao Seal" to "Law"!

His biggest obstacle to being promoted to the rank of king lies in the accumulation of knowledge.

He needs to completely perfect his own "Way of Limits" and solidify it into a unique law that will exist forever in the universe.

This requires an unimaginable amount of calculation and reference materials. The ordinary secret techniques of the Holy Academy are no longer sufficient to meet his needs on the path to divinity.

And these "Three Thousand Ancient Secret Techniques" are undoubtedly the resources for his advancement, tailor-made for him!

If he can complete this task, the biggest obstacle on his path to becoming a king will be swept away in an instant!

"A high-stakes gamble."

Qin Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, and the last trace of solemnity that had risen in his chest due to his comprehensive understanding of the situation vanished. In its place was a burning fighting spirit and determination.

From the day he embarked on the path of martial arts, his life has been a series of high-stakes gambles.

He was already used to walking on the edge of a knife and surviving in desperate situations.

Is the will of the universe trying to test him and eliminate him through this deadly scheme?
Then come!
He wanted to see whether the trap it had set was more formidable, or whether his own life was tougher!
Moreover, he has the Twin Masks to protect him, so no one can kill him!
……

Having made up his mind, Qin Feng wasted no more time.

He looked around. This natural cave formed by the skulls of giant beasts was undoubtedly the safest and most secluded place for seclusion in the entire Star Abyss.

The laws governing this place are inherently chaotic, and it also isolates most forms of detection.

He flashed to the deepest part of the cave and, with a wave of his hand, set up several concealment and defense formations activated by fragments of the Ancient Bell.

While it might not be able to stop a powerhouse of the Golden Emperor's level, it can at least shield him from early-stage harassment.

After doing all this, he sat cross-legged and suspended the ball of [Weeping Divine Gold] in front of him.

Gazing closely at this eternally sorrowful light, Qin Feng could feel the terrifying power contained within it even more.

That was not merely a sorrow at the level of laws, but a manifestation that was close to the "Tao".

It seems to be one of the concrete manifestations of the concept of the "end" of the universe.

"Thirty thousand years..."

Qin Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

He began to carefully analyze the feasibility of refining divine gold.

"This thing is completely different in nature from the [Primordial Fire]."

His mind sank into himself, comparing it with the [Void Black Flame] in the Dao Seal.

When he refined the [Void Black Flame], it took him forty thousand years, but that was under the protection of the Refining King and the Heavenly Cold Emperor, and the [Void Black Flame] itself possessed a certain degree of "spirituality".

The so-called "spirituality" refers to the fact that wondrous things in the universe instinctively seek out the most suitable host for themselves.

Once it recognizes the host, the refining process is more like a "fusion" and "recognition of master". What the host needs to do is to guide and resonate with it using its own Dao.

"But Shenjin is without wisdom."

Qin Feng's pure black spiritual power, like the finest probes, carefully touched the surface of the [Weeping Divine Gold].

The feedback was only a cold, pure, and vast ocean of sorrowful laws, and an indestructible, unchanging material structure.

It has no thoughts, no wisdom, only instincts.

There is no way to refine it without resorting to tricks. The only way is to use one's own stronger and more domineering spiritual power and Dao imprint to gradually wear away its original "mark" and then forcibly imprint one's own "mark" on it.

This process is like using flesh and blood to polish the hardest diamond.

"Without pure black quality spiritual power, let alone 30,000 years, even 300,000 years or 3 million years, no king could refine it."

Qin Feng has a clear understanding of this.

The spiritual power of an ordinary king, upon contact with the [Weeping Divine Gold], will be corrupted and eroded by the sorrowful laws it contains. Unable to refine it, their own Dao heart will collapse before they can.

Only his pure black spiritual power, which he finally achieved through the [Final Singularity], [Twin Masks], [Emperor's Blessing], and countless life-and-death transformations, can be refined without being contaminated due to its characteristics of "absolute purity" and "devouring all things".

even so……

"Thirty thousand years, that's too tense."

He estimated with his mental power that, at his current full-speed refining, it would take at least 50,000 to 60,000 years to completely refine this divine metal.

This is still the most ideal scenario.

"Not enough time..."

Qin Feng's expression became extremely serious.

This is precisely the deadlock laid by the will of the universe.

It presents a problem that seems to have a solution, but is actually unsolvable.

Is it really going to be a failure?
Do not!
The word "give up" has never existed in Qin Feng's dictionary!
"There must be another way! There must be a way to speed things up!"

He forced himself to calm down, his brain working at an unprecedented speed, searching for all the cards he had up his sleeve.

The Nine Tribulations Battle Manual? No, that's a divine technique that amplifies combat power; it doesn't directly help with refining external objects.

[A silver-white body]? That's a physical body, it's even more impossible.

Just as Qin Feng's thoughts were stuck, and his indomitable will was being ignited to its peak.

"Om..."

A faint, yet caring and spiritual light quietly shone from the subspace storage unit at his waist.

It's Xiaoqi!
Qin Feng understood immediately. With a thought, a delicate little tree, about the size of a palm, appeared before him, its entire body flowing with seven-colored light.

It was Xiao Qi, the seven-colored Bodhi tree that had already been promoted to the level of a domain lord and had given birth to a complete self-awareness.

At this moment, the seven-colored halo on Xiaoqi's trunk was flowing extremely rapidly, its emerald green leaves were swaying slightly, and a clear thought was transmitted to Qin Feng's mind through the soul link.

It was a desire to "help".

Immediately afterwards, to Qin Feng's astonishment, all the light on Xiao Qi's tree trunk began to converge towards a single branch at the top.

That branch, at a speed visible to the naked eye, became dazzling and brilliant, as if it were on fire.

The surrounding void was slightly distorted by this extremely pure energy of life and enlightenment.

In the end, all the light converged into a single point.

It was a strange fruit that slowly condensed, its entire body displaying a dreamlike seven-colored glassy hue, its surface covered with natural Dao patterns, and emanating an aura that could clear the soul and greatly enhance understanding.

The moment the fruit was fully formed, the light emanating from Xiao Qi instantly dimmed.

Its leaves became somewhat withered, and the iridescent light became intermittent. Clearly, the formation of this fruit had taken a huge toll on it.

"Owner……"

Xiao Qi's clear yet slightly weak voice resonated in Qin Feng's soul.

"This is... the Seven-Colored Bodhi Fruit. It's the first Dao Fruit I condensed after advancing in rank, after consuming nearly half of my essence. It... it might be able to help you."

The seven-colored Bodhi fruit, which contained half of Xiao Qi's life's essence, gently fell from the branch and floated in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng reached out and caught the fruit, which was still radiating a warm glow.

A warm feeling of blood connection emanated from the fruit.

He could clearly sense the pure and immense power of enlightenment contained within it.

"Xiaoqi..."

A warm feeling washed over Qin Feng.

He looked at Xiao Qi, who was barely breathing, and said with a hint of pity, "You've had a hard time."

"It is my honor to be able to help my master."

Xiaoqi's leaves swayed gently, filled with filial piety.

Qin Feng didn't say anything more.

He carefully sent Xiao Qi back to the subspace storage unit and separated a strand of his purest life essence to inject into it, helping it to recover.

After doing all this, he turned his gaze back to the seven-colored Bodhi fruit in his hand.

"Master, the Seven-Colored Bodhi Fruit can fundamentally enhance the quality of your spiritual power, thereby... accelerating the refining process."

Xiaoqi's last words were still echoing in his mind.

Enhance your mental strength!

Qin Feng's eyes lit up instantly.

His spiritual power was already of the legendary pure black quality, which, in theory, meant he had reached the pinnacle of quality.

But this does not mean that there is no room for improvement.

Quality is also divided into "basic" and "advanced".

If his previous pure black spiritual power was a flawless obsidian, then the function of this seven-colored Bodhi fruit is to polish and refine this obsidian into an indestructible black gold divine diamond!

While maintaining the highest quality of "pure black", it has become more refined, sharper, and more efficient!
This is the only key to breaking the current deadlock!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Qin Feng said "good" three times in a row, his heart surging with boundless pride.

"Little Seven, once I have achieved my goal, I will surely help you become a true Enlightenment Tree!"

He made a promise to the void.

Then, without any further hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the seven-colored Bodhi fruit, which embodied Xiao Qi's endless efforts and hopes, into his stomach.

boom! ! !
The fruit melted in his mouth, transforming into an indescribable torrent of seven colors that instantly rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness!

It was not a violent energy, but a primal force that was incredibly gentle and full of life and wisdom.

It did not impact Qin Feng's soul, but rather, like the gentlest spring rain, it merged into his "ocean" composed of pure black spiritual power.

"Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle..."

Qin Feng's entire sea of ​​consciousness lit up.

He could "see" that his pure black spiritual power was undergoing a tremendous change.

Every wisp of spiritual energy is being repeatedly washed, refined, and compressed by that seven-colored power of enlightenment. Minor impurities are being completely eliminated, and its structure is becoming more stable and dense than ever before.

If the previous mental energy was a "thread", then the current mental energy is being woven into a "steel cable"!
If the previous mental energy was "mercury", then the current mental energy is condensing into "Dao Crystal"!
A leap in quality!
This is a true, fundamental sublimation!

The entire process lasted a full year.

When the seven-colored torrent was completely absorbed, Qin Feng's sea of ​​consciousness returned to its pure darkness.

But the darkness now is completely different from that of a year ago.

It has become more profound, purer, and more substantial.

Although the total amount of power contained therein has not increased, its "density" and "sharpness" have increased by more than tenfold!
Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, it was as if two black holes were slowly rotating, capable of swallowing all the light in the world.

He once again extended his spiritual power, probing towards the [Weeping God Gold] in front of him.

This time, it felt completely different.

If before, his mental power was like touching a piece of solid ice with his "fingers".

So now, he's pressing it on with a red-hot branding iron!

"laugh--"

A faint, almost imperceptible sound came from the surface of the divine metal.

For the first time, without being completely exempted, his sublimated pure black spiritual power forcibly imprinted a barely perceptible mark on the surface of the divine metal!

it works!

A surge of joy welled up in Qin Feng's heart!
He re-estimated the refining time.

"Twenty thousand years! At most thirty thousand years!"

"There's enough time!"

At this moment, the 30,000-year countdown to death was finally pried open by him, creating a crack leading to "life"!

"So……"

Qin Feng took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions, and his eyes became incredibly firm.

"let's start."

He closed his eyes, his entire mind completely immersed in this protracted battle of refining.

The sublimated pure black spiritual power, like endless black threads, surged from between his brows, wrapping the eternally sorrowful seven-colored light ball layer upon layer.

Thus began a war of will and laws that lasted for tens of thousands of years and unfolded at the microscopic level.

Inside the cave, the ancient silence returned once more.

Only the seven-colored ball of light wrapped in black silk threads, and the black-haired youth sitting cross-legged with a solemn and dignified appearance, constitute a constant and unchanging picture.

Outside the cavern, the Kurgan Star Abyss, sealed by the golden chains of divine law, began to grow increasingly "lively." Countless powerful individuals, having received the news, were like sharks smelling blood, frantically converging from all corners of the universe towards this prison destined to be awash in blood.

The countdown to 30,000 years has quietly begun.

……

For Qin Feng, trapped inside the cage, every moment was a struggle against the will of the divine metal, a microscopic erosion and imprinting of spiritual power.

For the vast universe outside the prison, this place is rapidly evolving from a forgotten, chaotic land into the eye of the storm of an entire era.

The "invitation" from the will of the universe arrived in the perception of every "invitee" in a form that transcended any means of communication.

The first to arrive was not some renowned king.

It was a raiding ship that was entirely black, with a three-eyed raven totem branded on its bow.

The ship stopped tens of thousands of kilometers away from the golden chains of divine law. The hatch opened, and a gaunt, gray-mist-shrouded, King-level expert holding a bone staff slowly stepped out.

He is the "Crow Bone King," a rogue king known for plunder and curses in the border war zone. His strength is only average among the kings, but his perception and instinct for seeking advantage and avoiding harm are exceptionally sharp.

"The restriction of the will of the universe..."

The Raven Bone King muttered to himself in a hoarse voice, like the grinding of withered bones. In his empty eye sockets, two eerie green soul flames flickered violently. "There's no mistake, this aura is one of the legendary Thirty-Six Divine Metals... [The Weeping Divine Metal]!"

His soul fire was instantly filled with endless greed.

However, he did not approach.

He simply chose a huge meteorite, like a patient vulture, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.

He knew very well that such a divine object was not something he alone could possess.

The first person to act impulsively often becomes the stepping stone for those who follow.

The arrival of the Crow Bone King was like the sounding of a rallying cry.

In the months and years that followed, beams of light tearing through the void, warships of various styles, and magnificent mobile fortresses began to appear one after another on the outskirts of Kurgan Star Abyss.

The extinguishing of each ray of light signifies the arrival of a king, a being powerful enough to suppress an entire star field and revered as a god among their respective races.

At first, things were relatively peaceful outside the Star Abyss.

Those who came later simply found a place, released their own domain of laws, announced their existence, and then, like the Raven King, fell into a silent wait.

Even among the most powerful figures, mortal enemies, a strange tacit understanding is maintained until the ultimate goal is achieved.

But this tacit understanding is fragile.

In the fifth year, a colossal beast, comparable in size to the moon and engulfed in eerie blue flames, crashed through an asteroid belt with overwhelming force and descended upon this airspace, shattering the balance for the first time.

"'Netherworld Wolf King'!"

A king from the Treant race, who had already arrived, roared with boundless rage, "You bastard, how dare you show your face before me!"

The colossal beast known as the "Netherworld Wolf King" slowly turned its massive head, its three eerie blue eyes filled with contempt and cruelty: "So it's the 'Withered Tree King,' huh? How about that 'Heart of the World' I swallowed last time? It tasted pretty good. Has your clan found a new home planet? Hahaha..."

"you wanna die!"

The King of Deadwood instantly flew into a rage.

His true form is an ancient war tree that has lived for millions of years. The Netherworld Wolf Clan happens to be their natural enemy, and their Netherworld Fire has a devastating effect on plant life.

Ten thousand years ago, it was this Nether Wolf King who attacked his home planet, devouring the "Heart of the World" that sustained the entire race, causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of his people. This is the hatred of annihilation!
"Law - All Trees Lock the Dragon!"

With a furious roar, the seemingly withered body of the Deadwood King suddenly swelled up, and countless thorny vines flashing with emerald green law runes sprouted wildly from the void, like ancient dragons awakening, wrapping around the Netherworld Wolf King!

Each vine contains terrifying power enough to strangle a peak-level Marquis, and the barbs growing on it shimmer with the poisonous laws that annihilate life.

"Little tricks!"

The Netherworld Wolf King neither dodged nor evaded, but opened its blood-red maw and suddenly spewed a powerful breath!
"Ow—"

With a wolf howl that shook the galaxy, endless dark blue flames transformed into a sea of ​​fire that swept across the heavens and earth, meeting the vines that filled the sky.

"Zizzizi..."

The moment the flames touched the vines, they emitted a teeth-grinding burning sound.

Those indestructible vines of law, under the burning of the Netherworld Fire, turned charred and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The life laws contained within them were quickly neutralized and erased by the power of death and annihilation in the flames.

In just one clash of laws, the superiority of the victor was immediately apparent.

The laws of the Deadwood King were clearly completely countered by the Netherworld Wolf King.

"Useless! You've been useless for ages, and you're still just as useless!"

The Nether Wolf King's eyes blazed with ferocity, eager to press his advantage and annihilate his old adversary.

Just then, a cold and indifferent voice came from another direction.

"Enough. Your grudges can be settled after we've seized the divine gold. Now, anyone who dares to waste even a single bit of the power of law here is an enemy of me, 'The King of Ten Thousand Blades'."

Accompanied by this sound, a giant mothership, composed of countless silver cubes and adorned with a cold, geometric aesthetic, silently appeared on one side of the battlefield.

At the top of the mothership stood a silver giant, hundreds of meters tall, whose entire body was made of liquid metal.

On the surface of his body, hundreds of millions of nanomachines are constantly flowing and recombining, and behind him, tens of thousands of energy weapons of various shapes are suspended, buzzing.

"The King of Ten Thousand Blades!"

The Netherworld Wolf King and the Withered Tree King stopped fighting at the same time, their eyes revealing deep fear.

The observers in the distance let out a suppressed gasp of surprise.

"Hiss—it's the Machine King of the Machine Race! That ruthless character who once single-handedly crushed the Human Race's Seventh Frontier Fleet!"

"It was more than just a crushing defeat! It is said that in that battle, three human kings perished, one of whom was the renowned 'Crimson Flame King'! The Myriad Blade Machine King's Law Domain, 'Absolute Armament,' is said to make him the master of weapons and the king of all laws within the domain. Among those of the same level, very few can stand against him head-on!"

"The mechanical race has arrived too... It seems that the Limit God Marquis is truly doomed this time."

The appearance of the Thousand Blade Machine King was like a boulder forcefully suppressing the boiling surface of a lake. His intimidating power far surpassed that of the likes of the Withered Wood King.

The Netherworld Wolf King snorted coldly and extinguished its flames, but its three enormous eyes remained fixed on the Withered Wood King, as if to say, "You wait."

The King of Dead Trees also withdrew his vines, his face ashen.

A battle for supremacy that was about to erupt has been temporarily averted.

But this is just the beginning.

In the decades and centuries that followed, more and more "legends" emerged.

"Look! That's...that's the 'Mountain-Shattering Ape King'! The most hot-tempered king among the beast race. Legend has it that 30,000 years ago, he fought three kings of the same level for ten years for a secret treasure, and finally smashed one of their king-level Dao seals with his bare fists!"

In the depths of the starry sky, a golden giant ape, carrying a small neutron star on its shoulder and with muscles as bulging as mountains, shattered the void step by step as it approached.

With each step he took, visible ripples spread through the surrounding space, as if the physical laws of the entire universe were being distorted by his terrifying physical power.

"My God... the 'Shadow Serpent King' has arrived too! One of the most insidious kings among the Abyss Demons! He never engages in direct combat; his law, 'Shadow Kingdom,' can transform the shadows of his enemies into the most deadly weapons. It is said that the kings who died at his hands did not even know how they died!"

In another part of the sky, a shadow that almost blended into the darkness of the universe quietly emerged.

The shadow wriggled and eventually transformed into a man dressed in a black robe, with a face so handsome it was almost otherworldly.

His snake-like eyes were strangely vertical, and just one glance at them made one feel as if their soul was about to be sucked into an endless abyss.

"And over there! That's the 'Thousand-Eyed King' of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Clan! His Eye of Law is said to be able to see through all illusions in the world and point directly to the source! Any array or illusion is useless in front of him!"

"That's the 'Rock King' of the Stone Spirit Clan! His defensive power is said to be among the top ten of all the King-level beings!"

"..."

One after another, kings who left their illustrious names in the universe, and even those only seen in some epic records, descended one after another.

Among them, some were lone wolves, and some were clan leaders;
Some auras were as fierce as fire, while others were as cold as ice;
Some possess unparalleled physical strength, while others operate under unpredictable and mysterious laws.

In just a century, the number of powerful kings gathered outside the Kurgan Star Abyss has exceeded three hundred!
More than three hundred kings were bestowed upon them!

What a terrifying number!

It should be noted that even in a "king-level" battle between the human race and the myriad races on the battlefield of myriad races, which would determine the ownership of a star field, the number of kings deployed by both sides would usually not exceed one hundred.

And now, just for a Supreme God Marquis, for a legendary [Weeping God Gold], they have gathered three times the terrifying combat power!
This once-deserted abyss of stars has become a powder keg that could ignite the entire universe at any moment.

The kings clearly divided themselves into camps.

The human kings, led by top kings such as Devouring King and Thunderstorm King, occupied a section of the sky, their expressions solemn.

They also received a mission, but their mission was to "protect".

Faced with an enemy several times their size, even the Devouring King felt unprecedented pressure.

The major races with deep-seated hatred for humanity, such as the Machine Race, the Insect Race, the Demon Race, and the Monster Race, have formed a subtle encirclement. Countless eyes filled with killing intent and greed are constantly sweeping towards the human camp and the Star Abyss, which is sealed by the golden divine chains.

In addition, there are a large number of rogue cultivator kings and some kings of neutral races. They are detached from the two major camps, forming their own faction. Their eyes are gleaming, clearly indicating that they are planning to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and then snatch chestnuts from the fire.

The air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Hundreds of different laws of kingship collide, rub against each other, and intertwine in this narrow space, making the space here more chaotic and dangerous than the singularity of the universe.

Even a powerful Marquis-level expert, if he were to mistakenly enter this place, would likely be torn to shreds by the raging torrent of laws in an instant.

Everyone was blocked outside by the golden chains of divine law, and no one could take a single step into the Star Abyss.

All they could do was wait.

Wait until the 30,000-year restriction period ends.

Wait for the prey, known as "Limit God Marquis," to emerge from the cage on its own.

This waiting wore down everyone's patience, and caused the long-accumulated hatred and murderous intent to surge up like magma from the ground, about to erupt.

Finally, after nearly a thousand years of waiting, a true battle of kings inevitably broke out.

The trigger was the Shattered Mountain Ape King and the Shadow Devouring Serpent King.

"You little devil, stop with your sneaky tricks!"

The Shattered Mountain Ape King's booming voice resounded in everyone's souls, "If you dare to spy on me with your filthy shadow again, I'll skin you alive today!"

It turned out that the Shadow Serpent King had tried to use its own laws to silently investigate the background of the Mountain Shattering Ape King, but the latter's almost beast-like intuition detected it on the spot.

"Hehehe..."

The Shadow Serpent King let out a cold laugh, like a snake flicking its tongue. "An ape is just an ape, all you have is brute strength and all you have in your head is muscle. I just want to see where your proud King-level Dao Seal is hidden on your fur."

"court death!"

The Mountain-Shattering Ape King was utterly enraged!
His enormous fist, comparable to a neutron star, was unleashed without any fancy moves; it was simply and directly aimed at the direction where the Shadow Serpent King was located!
Rumbling--

This punch, without releasing any energy waves, still sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Because what he unleashed was pure "force"!
It is the law of "force"!

The space in front of him, like a canvas being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, instantly underwent violent folding, collapse, and distortion!
A pitch-black spatial rift, leading to an unknown dimension, was smashed open by this punch and spread wildly toward the Shadow Serpent King!

Faced with this terrifying attack that would make even ordinary kings retreat, the Shadow Serpent King revealed a strange smile on his handsome and bewitching face.

"The Law - Shadow Stand".

His figure, like ink thrown into water, instantly became blurred and illusory, before quietly merging into his own shadow.

That punch, powerful enough to shatter stars, struck empty air. The terrifying power of the laws turned that area upside down, but it failed to harm the Shadow Serpent King in the slightest.

“Here you are, you stupid monkey.”

A cold voice suddenly rang out behind the Shattered Mountain Ape King.

Within the massive shadow of the Shattered Mountain Ape King, elongated by starlight, the Shadow Devouring Serpent King's figure slowly emerged like a ghost.

In his hand, a dagger made of pure shadow appeared out of nowhere, and he silently stabbed at the back of the Shattered Mountain Ape King!

This thrust ignored physical defense and energy shields, directly attacking the law node connecting the Shattered Mountain Ape King's Dao Seal and his physical body!

However, the reason why the Shattered Mountain Ape King has survived to this day is not solely due to brute force.

"Roar!"

He let out a deafening roar, and the golden hair on his body stood on end, each hair glowing with an incredibly heavy rune.

"Law—Body of Ten Thousand Jun!"

hum-

His body density and mass increased ten thousandfold in an instant!
The gravitational field around him underwent a terrifying distortion in an instant, even warping the light!

The shadowy dagger, just before it was about to pierce his body, suddenly froze, as if it had struck a piece of divine iron of infinite density, and could not go any further!

"Get out of here!"

The Shattering Mountain Ape King swung his palm back, as if swatting a fly, and fiercely struck his own shadow!
boom!
The Shadow Serpent King's figure was forcefully blasted out of the shadows, tumbling several times in the void before regaining its footing.

The two top-tier kings, in just one exchange, displayed completely different, yet equally breathtakingly powerful, application of the laws.

"Do you want to fight again?"

The cold voice of the Myriad Blade King rang out again, and the tens of thousands of energy weapons behind him pointed at the two sides in the battle, emitting a piercing buzz.

The Shattered Mountain Ape King and the Shadow Devouring Serpent King exchanged a glance, both seeing intense killing intent in each other's eyes. In the end, however, they each let out a cold snort and slowly retreated.

As Wanrenjiwang said, now is not the time to fight to the death.

But everyone knows this is only temporary.

Once the restrictions are lifted, this place will be ten thousand times more terrifying than the most brutal hell.

Time passed slowly in this eerie calm, a tension that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

A thousand years, five thousand years, ten thousand years...

More and more kings are gathering here.

Four hundred, five hundred, six hundred...

Every new king who arrives makes the atmosphere here even more solemn.

Until, 29,000 years later.

There is only one thousand years left before the 30,000-year ban expires.

The number of people here who have been granted the title of king has reached an unprecedented and terrifying number—more than eight hundred!
Eight hundred kings are trapped in a cage!

All for the purpose of hunting down one person!
Such a spectacle has never been seen before in the billions of years of the universe's history.

"The Limitless Divine Marquis... Just who is he to have attracted such a grand spectacle..."

"After this battle, whether he lives or dies, his name will be remembered for eternity."

Even those kings of all races who hated him to the core had to admit that Qin Feng had created a "record" that was unprecedented and very likely to remain so.

Just when everyone's patience was about to run out, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, enough to ignite the entire universe with just a single spark.

Unexpectedly, disaster struck.

At first, it was just a very subtle change.

The background radiation of the universe seems to have an added faint, almost imperceptible golden hue.

Then, the gold color began to become richer and purer.

It is neither light nor energy, but a higher-dimensional "color," an "attribute" originating from the very source of laws.

Under this golden hue, the ghostly blue flames of the Nether Wolf King no longer seemed so cold;

The raging golden color of the Shattered Mountain Ape King appeared somewhat dim;
Even the all-consuming darkness of the Shadow Serpent King seemed to be edged with gold.

All the kings stopped what they were doing in an instant.

They were horrified to discover that their proud, kingly laws, which were powerful enough to suppress star fields, were like subjects of a king in the face of this sudden golden light, trembling, retreating, and submitting uncontrollably!
"This...this is..."

The Devouring King's expression changed drastically, and for the first time, disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"The Laws of the Imperial Way!"

Thunderstorm King cried out in shock, his voice filled with horror, "It's a Sealed Emperor! A Sealed Emperor powerhouse has descended!"

boom! ! !
The entire King's Cage erupted in chaos!
Confer the title of Emperor!

That is a truly top-tier existence in the entire universe!
They are the cornerstone of every elite race! They are supreme beings capable of setting the rules of the universe and easily annihilating civilizations!

These kinds of ancient monsters are usually elusive, either guarding their clan's forbidden areas or seeking breakthroughs in certain cosmic wastelands that even kings cannot access.

How did they end up here?!
For a mere title of nobility? For a piece of divine gold?
This is unreasonable!

However, the facts are undeniable.

The oppressive aura of the imperial law, which suppressed all paths and reigned supreme, grew increasingly terrifying.

Finally, under the horrified, awe-inspiring, and fearful gazes of all the kings...

Directly above the Kurgan Star Abyss, the void, completely bathed in gold, slowly split open to both sides, as if a curtain were being drawn back.

A figure slowly flew out from it.

Starry Sky Beasts - The Golden Armored Beast Clan!
Golden Emperor!
