High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 353 Ultimate God King! Qin Feng's Fall! Shocking the World!

The Milky Way sheds blood, the king's soul weeps in sorrow.

Buzz—! ! ! !

With the blessing of more than fifty emperors, the [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda] shone brightly, instantly growing to a height of hundreds of millions of feet, transforming into a supreme artifact capable of suppressing an entire universe!

On the tower, the carvings of the sun, moon, and stars seemed to come alive, slowly rotating and evolving into a terrifying scene of the birth and death of the universe.

At the bottom of the tower, a pitch-black vortex, seemingly capable of devouring everything, slowly emerged, aiming at Qin Feng's last wisp of remnant soul, releasing an unparalleled suppressive power powerful enough to completely obliterate even a true god!

Under that terrifying suction force, Qin Feng's remnant soul began to drift uncontrollably toward the vortex at the bottom of the tower.

He seemed powerless to resist.

However, even in this utterly desperate situation, that faint flame of the soul continued to burn.

Any emperor who tries to get close to him will be met with a frenzied counterattack, a fight to the death!
Just now, a demonic ape king, confident in his powerful physical body, attempted to seize Qin Feng's soul before the golden tower could completely suppress him, wanting to study the mysteries of his divine path alone.

As a result, his arm, which was comparable to divine metal, was suddenly struck by that seemingly weak wisp of soul fire as soon as it entered the suppression range!
"boom!"

Qin Feng's remnant soul actually detonated a small portion of his original essence!
Although that power could not cause fatal damage to the Demon Ape King, the [Limit] Law contained within it was like the sharpest knife, instantly tearing through the Royal Law defense on the Demon Ape King's arm and forcibly ripping a large chunk of flesh from it!
"Roar!!!"

The Demon Ape King let out a painful roar, hastily retracting its arm, its eyes filled with horror and lingering fear.

Upon seeing this, the other emperors were all greatly shocked and abandoned any thought of approaching.

"This madman!"

"Even at this point, they still possess such terrifying aggression!"

"As expected of a peerless genius capable of opening a divine path, his will has been tempered to be as immortal as divine metal!"

"The more this is the case, the less we can allow him to live!"

Many emperors were terrified, but their killing intent only grew stronger.

They could only watch from afar, together with the Golden Emperor, activating their respective imperial weapons and secret treasures to set up deadly formations, sealing off that space tightly, and working with the [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda] to gradually wear down Qin Feng's last vestige of existence.

This is a slow and agonizing process.

But no emperor dared to be careless.

At the same time, they were also making rapid calculations in their minds.

"After killing him, how should the essence of the [Weeping God Gold] be distributed?"

"And the inheritance marks of his two divine-level secret techniques—if we could obtain even a tiny bit of them, the help to our clan would be immeasurable!"

"The Primordial Flame... Legend has it that it was the first flame born at the beginning of the universe, a supreme treasure for perfecting one's own Great Dao!"

"He has so much... so much good... good enough to drive any emperor mad!"

The flames of greed burned fiercely in the hearts of every emperor.

They appear to be working together, but their divine thoughts are secretly communicating and clashing, forming fragile temporary alliances that crumble instantly in the next second due to unequal distribution of benefits.

A bloody storm surrounding "heritage" is already brewing.

At the center of all this, Qin Feng, who was being suppressed by the [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda], seemed completely indifferent to it all.

He was just putting up a last-ditch resistance.

He's going to die.

But he wants to die a glorious death!
He must die in a way that this entire universe will remember his name!

They must die in a way that will haunt these high and mighty emperors for billions of years to come, so that whenever they recall this day, they will wake up from nightmares!
Only in this way can death seem real!

"Qin Feng!"

The Golden Emperor's magnificent voice boomed down from the heavens, carrying a hint of mockery and cruelty, like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Stop making these pointless struggles; delaying the inevitable is useless!"

Are you waiting for someone to come and rescue you?

The Golden Emperor let out a hearty laugh, filled with the exhilaration of being in complete control.

"To tell you the truth, a tremendous change has already occurred in the Eternal Life Mountain over the past 100,000 years!"

"Those old fogies of your human race, in their struggle for a so-called 'ultimate fortune,' clashed in the most brutal conflict with the strongest members of dozens of peak races!"

"In this battle, your human race lost thirty Emperor-level beings! More than seventy were seriously injured! The rest are all trapped in the core restrictions of the Eternal Life Mountain, barely able to protect themselves! They can only come out when the Eternal Life Mountain opens again!"

"Currently, the human race only has a few active emperors! Hahaha..."

"As for those stronger ones, the so-called Saints, Universe Venerables, and even your human race's few Universe Lords, hehe... they have long been held back by the secret realms of other universes!"

"Right now, you are an isolated island! No one can cross the endless sea of ​​stars to protect you!"

So give up! Accept your fate!

The Golden Emperor's voice, like a final judgment, echoed in the desolate starry sky.

He wanted to completely crush this stubborn enemy, both psychologically and physically.

However, he was disappointed.

In that faint flame of his soul, he felt no despair or collapse.

There was only a desolate, deathly stillness.

Qin Feng understood.

'I see……'

'Has something happened to the human race on Mount Eternal Life?'

'very good.'

'In this way, my grand finale will be flawless.'

Jin Huang's words not only failed to discourage him, but instead allowed him to completely let go of his last remaining concerns.

This is simply a golden opportunity!
The stage is already set up.

The audience is ready.

So, it's time to present... the final performance.

"You want to kill me..."

A faint yet incredibly clear thought emerged from that wisp of soul fire.

"You...are not qualified yet!"

The words have not yet fallen.

An unprecedented aura of destruction, powerful enough to send chills down the spines of every emperor present, erupted from within that wisp of soul fire!
"Not good! He's going to blow himself up!"

The Golden Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he let out a roar filled with shock and rage.

"Suppress! Suppress them with all your might!"

More than fifty emperors, their souls trembling with fear, poured all their power into the [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda] and the surrounding sealing array without a second thought!
They never dreamed that a "dead man" with only a wisp of soul left could actually launch a self-destruction!

Moreover, the power of its self-destruction actually made even these emperors feel a fatal threat!

But, it's too late.

Qin Feng's will was incredibly firm.

The moment he decided to self-destruct, there was no power in the entire universe that could stop him!

"Today, with my blood, I will... play a funeral dirge for you!"

boom--!
A deafening roar, beyond description, exploded in the very center of this universe!

That was neither an explosion of energy nor an explosion of laws.

That was a "Tao," completely collapsed!
Qin Feng detonated all the insights he had gained about the Great Dao of the Limit within his remaining true spirit!

It detonated the vast and boundless essence he had accumulated after devouring tens of thousands of kings and analyzing countless secret techniques!

It also detonated a small portion of his pure black true spirit's... soul essence!
In an instant, a chaotic light, pure to the extreme, both pure black and pure white, swept out from the core of the explosion!
The first to be affected is the [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda] that suppresses everything!
"Click——"

A clear, mournful cry.

This supreme imperial weapon, which has accompanied the Golden Emperor for countless millennia and suppressed countless powerful enemies, has developed a visible crack on its tower!

Immediately afterwards, that unparalleled torrent of destruction surged outwards from the golden pagoda in all directions!

"puff--"

The thirty-six closest Emperors didn't even have time to react before being swept away by this destructive torrent!

Their protective imperial laws were as fragile as paper in the face of this final swan song of the "limit" path, and were torn apart in an instant!
Blood mist exploded from the emperor's body!
The laws of the imperial way were forcibly erased!

The soul felt as if it were being pierced by millions of steel needles, causing excruciating pain!

Thirty-six emperors were all killed in battle!

Each one was severely damaged to varying degrees!
This was Qin Feng's final "gift" for them!
Of course, none of this had any real impact on him.

What he exposed was simply everything that this body contained.

As long as his mechanical avatar "Vanguard" remains, and as long as he has enough resources, he can recreate an identical, or even more powerful, [Limited Body] at any time.

This is the true terror of the cosmic artifact, the Twin Masks!
……

After a long time.

The destructive storm finally subsided.

That starry sky has been completely transformed into a place of "nothingness".

All laws and all matter were completely wiped out.

Only fifty-odd figures, their auras weak and their faces extremely pale, remained, hovering in the void.

They won.

But they won so miserably and so tragically.

It cost the lives of tens of thousands of kings, consumed several months of time, and even severely injured thirty-six emperors.

Finally, the monster named "Qin Feng" was completely annihilated.

"died……"

"Finally... dead."

An emperor murmured to himself, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

After a brief silence.

A boundless greed that had been suppressed for months instantly ignited the entire scene!
"His divine metal essence!"

"Divine Art Inheritance!"

"Find him quickly! There must have been fragments of his origin left behind after he self-destructed!"

Almost simultaneously, all the emperors moved!
Ignoring their injuries, they frantically channeled their divine senses, like the hungriest hyenas, sweeping and searching the cleared battlefield again and again!
However, a breath passed, an incense stick burned, an hour passed...

They found nothing.

Let alone the origin of divine metal or the imprint of divine magic.

Not even a trace of Qin Feng's energy residue could be found!

That space was so clean, it was as if the very origin of the universe had personally "formatted" it.

"how so?!"

"Impossible! Even if it were a self-destruction, it would definitely leave traces!"

"Unless... unless he completely annihilates everything he has!"

All the emperors were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Among the crowd, Emperor Rai's face was the most somber.

He stared intently at the void, but a thought flashed through his mind.

'Damn...'

'All things in the beginning possess a spirit.'

'Could it be... that they sensed their master's complete demise and fled into the void on their own?'

"It's possible. Primordial things are mysterious and unpredictable. I've never encountered one myself. Maybe these rumors are true."

……

News of his "fall" is spreading at a terrifying speed that surpasses the speed of light and the boundaries of space and time, reaching every corner of the entire universe.

This is not a rumor, not speculation, and certainly not baseless speculation.

This is irrefutable information personally released by the most authoritative intelligence organization in the universe—the [Tianjimen]!
The conclusion of the Heavenly Mystery Sect was concise yet incisive:

"Qin Feng, the human race's prodigy and ultimate god-marquis, was promoted to king in Kurgan Star Abyss."

Surrounded by the allied forces of all races, he fought alone for three months, killing nearly 100,000 kings and fighting against 54 emperors without retreating.

In the end, he self-destructed, merging with the Dao, his body and spirit annihilated.

This battle was witnessed by countless emperors, evidenced by the tens of thousands of surviving kings, and documented by the memories of hundreds of millions of spectators.

Its demise is a universally acknowledged fact!

This message from the Heavenly Mystery Sect was like a black hole thrown into the calm ocean of the universe.

In an instant, a colossal wave was unleashed!
Countless cosmic cities, branches of the Holy Academy, and even the core of humanity's battlefield among all races—the main campus of the Holy Academy…

All human warriors who received this message, whether they were in seclusion, on a mission, celebrating, or cultivating, stopped moving abruptly at that moment.

The entire human territory of the universe seemed to have been put on pause.

Dead silence.

A deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Immediately following was an uproar and disbelief as if a mountain had collapsed and a tsunami had struck!
"Impossible! This is absolutely fake! The Heavenly Mystery Sect must have made a mistake!"

"How could Lord Qin Feng be dead? He was the 'Fierce God'! He was the totem of our human race in this era!"

"Fake news! It must be a conspiracy by all races to undermine the morale of our human race!"

Countless human warriors roared and howled; they could not accept, nor were they willing to accept, this fact.

However, the information from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, like a cold, ironclad rule, has never been wrong.

Moreover, there were countless names of witnesses attached to the film, and those blurry yet incredibly brutal battle footage recorded at great personal risk by the spectators…

They are all ruthlessly telling the same story.

The legend has come to an end.

A myth has come to an end.

A sun that had just risen, a sun powerful enough to illuminate humanity's future for an entire era, has gone out.

Ultimate God Marquis!

Once the seal is broken, he is hailed as the Ultimate God King!
The Ultimate God King, single-handedly slaying 100,000 Kings and fighting against 54 Emperors!
A bloody battle lasting ten thousand years, a fight to the death without retreat, ending in self-destruction, severely injuring thirty-six Emperor-level beings!

In the course of time, that three-month bloody battle was infinitely prolonged, eventually transforming into an even more tragic "eternal war" in the mouths of countless bards, becoming an eternal legend.

This story spread to every corner of the human race at lightning speed.

Sadness, like a plague, began to spread.

……

Meanwhile, in the subspace information stream, countless billions of light-years away from Qin Feng's Cosmic City, messages, encrypted multiple times and carrying anxiety and anticipation, surged upstream like fish against the current towards the pre-programmed receiving terminal.

"Qin Feng! Are you dead yet?!"

The first message was simple, blunt, and full of Caesar's unique domineering and directness.

He offered no greetings, no superfluous words, and went straight to the ultimate question that shook the entire universe.

Behind this question lies a deep tension that even he himself was unaware of.

He and Qin Feng went from being sworn enemies to having a showdown, and finally to being completely convinced of each other's worth, forging a deep friendship that was both adversarial and friendly.

He witnessed Qin Feng's incredible journey and firmly believed that this man could not possibly die so easily.

However, the outside information presented was overwhelmingly convincing.

The golden words of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the joint witnessing of more than fifty Emperors, the self-destruction that destroyed the Star Abyss... all of this caused Caesar's Dao heart, which was as firm as divine iron, to waver slightly.

So he sent this message.

He needs an answer.

Then came the second, the third, the hundredth...

A flood of information came in like a tidal wave.

"Qin Feng, I am Yan Sheng. If you are still alive, give me an answer. You... still owe me a truly fair duel."

This is a message from Yan Sheng, the prodigy of the Holy Spirit Fire Clan. He was once Qin Feng's mortal enemy, but he betrayed Qin Feng in the final battle. There is a tacit understanding between the two that is difficult for others to understand.

"Chief, I am Yan Wu... Our brothers from the Six Star System Alliance are all waiting for you. We don't believe you will die."

"Qin Feng, I am Zhou Yu, the successor of the Thunder Emperor. I will definitely carry forward his legacy and live up to your expectations..."

"Qin Feng..."

Familiar or somewhat blurred names, comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side, companions who had benefited from his kindness, and even opponents he had defeated in the Genius Battle, all sent their greetings and prayers to this silent subspace beacon.

They refused to believe that the brilliant star that had illuminated their entire era would be extinguished.

Of these messages, two stand out as particularly somber.

"Junior brother, I am Huo Lin."

The message from my senior brother, Lord Huolin, was very short, only five words, yet it seemed to contain immense power.

Although he and Qin Feng didn't have much interaction, they were both from the Devouring Heaven King lineage, and their bond as masters had long been ingrained in their very bones.

He couldn't imagine that his peerless junior brother, whom even his master praised highly, would end up like this.

The other one is even more special.

"Qin Feng, I know you are not dead."

The source of the message was none other than the Devouring King!

"You little rascal, you're really daring. That 'faking death to escape' trick almost fooled even your master."

The battle at Kurgan Star Abyss was fought well, and it did not tarnish the prestige of my Devouring Heaven lineage.

However, since you are already 'dead,' then hide yourself well and don't give yourself away.

"The current situation in the universe is treacherous. A major upheaval has occurred at Mount Eternal Life, where more than 80% of the human race's Emperor-level powerhouses are trapped, their fates unknown. Many universe venerables, universe lords, and even our human race's few demigod ancestors are all engaged in endless battles on their respective battlefields, leaving them no time to attend to other matters."

In this vast expanse of space, the Emperor-level beings are the most powerful force openly recognized.

"Those guys from the Golden Emperor's faction may seem to have suffered losses in this battle, but their foundation remains intact."

If you are exposed now, they will spare no effort to surround and kill you again.

At that time, no one will be able to protect you.

So, it's well hidden.

Come out when you have the strength to confront or even kill a Fenghuang.

Or... only when the human universe's rulers are free to contact you personally will your 'death calamity' truly be over.

"Furthermore, your original life tablet is intact, a fact known only to the two of us."

"To the outside world, I have already held the highest-level memorial service for you, and I am prepared to personally take action to kill the Golden Emperor and 'avenge' you. This will complete this charade for you."

"You take care of yourself."

At the end of the message, Devouring King added a sentence with a hint of barely perceptible smile and satisfaction.

"well-done."

……

Within the Temple, in the Pool of Rebirth.

With the replenishment of a massive amount of "divine essence liquid", Qin Feng's soul essence was finally restored to perfection.

The minor flaws caused by the self-destruction were completely smoothed out, and the entire pure black soul radiated a light that was deeper and more refined than ever before.

He slowly "opened" his soul's eye.

The messages flooding into the subspace terminal were displayed clearly in his will, like a waterfall.

Caesar's anxiety, Yan Sheng's persistence, his comrades' expectations, his senior's grief...

Each scene and each sound transformed into a warm current flowing through his heart.

He is not alone.

Behind him are family, friends, comrades-in-arms, and mentors.

These people are his most precious assets on this lonely path to becoming a strongman.

Qin Feng's mind lingered on these messages for a long time. He wanted to give them a reply and tell them that he was still alive and doing well.

But in the end, he chose to remain silent.

He extended his mechanical finger, tapped it gently, and sealed away all the information.

It's not that I don't trust them, it's that... I can't.

Just as his master said, he is now recognized as a "dead man" throughout the entire universe.

He obtained this identity at a great cost, through meticulous planning.

This is his best camouflage.

At this crucial juncture as the "Golden Age" is about to begin, all the ancient geniuses, hidden prodigies, and even reincarnated old monsters lurking throughout the universe are focusing their attention on those who are openly walking the "Divine Path."

Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, Stone Buddha, Golden Emperor...

These are the real protagonists on stage.

And he, "Qin Feng," a legend who has already fallen, a genius who was exceptionally talented but died young, will soon be forgotten by the world.

Nobody cares about a dead person.

This bought him the most precious and crucial thing—time.

Under the guise of "Vanguard," he can roam the universe with impunity, exploring secret realms, hunting down enemies, and accumulating resources without worrying about being constantly targeted by the Alliance of All Races.

He could even repeat his old tricks, having the "vanguard" stage a spectacular "fake death" at a crucial moment, completely severing himself from all the entanglements of cause and effect.

This was the real purpose behind his incredible gamble.

"Emperor-level combat power..."

Qin Feng muttered to himself, the black flames in his eyes flashing with a calm yet sharp light.

The cosmic situation revealed by his master, Devouring King, was even more severe than he had imagined.

Eighty percent of the human race's top-ranking emperors were trapped, which is almost equivalent to the human race's high-end combat power being cut off by more than half.

In this situation, old enemies like the Golden Emperor and the Plundering Emperor will no longer be able to hold them back.

Although his current strength has reached the peak of the King-level realm, and he possesses the [Limited Body] and his self-created ultimate skill [Limited Divine Light], he might be able to put up a fight against an ordinary King-level opponent, and even severely injure them with unexpected killing moves.

However, if he were to face a veteran powerhouse of the Golden Emperor level, who had been immersed in the realm of Emperor-level cultivation for countless years, especially if the opponent wielded a natal imperial weapon like the [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda], he would still have no chance of winning.

Moreover, there is never just one enemy.

Once his whereabouts are exposed, he will face a joint attack from dozens of emperors.

He didn't want to experience that desperate situation a second time.

"Therefore, before possessing absolute strength, 'Qin Feng' must continue to 'die'."

He made his final decision.

As for his master, Devouring King... Qin Feng was filled with gratitude.

This master may seem rough, but he is actually extremely meticulous.

He not only saw through his own plan, but also cooperated actively, even going so far as to hunt down the Golden Emperor to add the most irrefutable evidence to his "death".

Qin Feng kept this kindness firmly in his heart.

Now that his master has paved the way for him, all he has to do next is to reach the end of this unknown path as quickly as possible.

Promoted to Emperor!

Even surpassing the title of Emperor!
At that time, he will return to the world in true invincibility.

At that time, he will personally go to Mount Eternal Life to rescue those trapped human ancestors.

At that time, he will settle accounts with all his enemies one by one, whether it is the Golden Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, or the high and mighty Chaos God!

With this thought in mind, Qin Feng's resolve in the Dao became stronger than ever before.

He no longer hesitated, his will completely sinking into the pool of rebirth.

"Remodeling!"

boom--

The entire golden pool instantly boiled!
Endless life essence, like a volcano that has found an outlet, surged wildly into the soul core in the center of the pool!
With a pure black soul as its "skeleton," the [Limit Laws] as its "meridians," and a massive amount of "divine essence" as its "flesh and blood"...

A brand new, perfect body, many times stronger than before, began to be reshaped and regenerated at an unimaginable speed!
The first bone was born amidst the intertwining of laws, and it was naturally inscribed with the Daoist essence of the "Weeping Divine Gold," making it indestructible.

The first meridian, formed under the influence of divine energy, flows with the primordial power that combines the Nine Tribulations Battle Canon with the secret technique of [Kill], making it incomparably domineering.

The first drop of blood, formed from the condensation of life essence, appears as a dazzling silver-white, containing the terrifying property of being "impervious to all laws."

Muscles, internal organs, skin...

Everything is being recreated in the most perfect way, in the most fitting way of the "Way of the Limit".

This is a process of destruction followed by construction.

Although his previous physical body had undergone countless trials and tribulations, it was ultimately repaired and strengthened step by step on the path of cultivation, inevitably leaving some minor flaws that even Qin Feng himself could not detect.

This time, however, it was a perfect creation "from zero to one" after complete destruction, based on his current king-level realm and his new understanding of the "Way of Limits".

This newly formed [Limit Body] will be of far greater quality than before!
Just as Qin Feng was immersed in the mysterious process of physical reshaping.

The storm he unleashed continues to escalate throughout the deep universe.

……

The Holy Academy of Humanity, Main Academy.

Inside an ancient hall suspended in a time-space fault, the atmosphere was so oppressive it seemed to freeze.

Dozens of towering figures stood silently. They were all powerful figures left behind by the Human Race Holy Academy. Each of them was a peak existence among those who had been granted the title of King, and some of them were even quasi-Emperors who had already stepped into the threshold of becoming Emperors.

In the center of the hall, a huge light screen is playing a video on a loop.

The footage was a clip of Qin Feng's final battle, transmitted from the Kurgan Star Abyss.

He faced 100,000 kings alone, his spear flashing like a dragon, his blood staining the Milky Way.

Even after he was severely injured by the sneak attack of more than fifty Emperor-level beings, he still fought to the death and refused to retreat.

Before he was completely exhausted, he detonated himself, transforming into the most dazzling fireworks, engulfing the thirty-six Emperor-level beings in a storm of destruction...

Every scene is filled with endless tragedy and devastation.

Each time it was played, it brought tears to the eyes and clenched fists of the powerful humans present who had lived for countless years.

"Ugh……"

A long sigh broke the deathly silence.

It was Marquis Liewu who spoke.

His face no longer held its usual composure, only deep sorrow and regret remained.

"What a fine child... If given time, he will surely become another pillar of our human race after the Lord of Limits. What a pity, what a pity!"

His voice expressed the sentiments of everyone.

"Heaven is jealous of talent! All races have gone too far in bullying our human race!"

Another hot-tempered king slammed his fist into the void in front of him, creating a dense, dark crack.

"Golden Emperor! Plundering Emperor! This blood debt, our human race will repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

"calm down."

At the head of the table, a white-haired quasi-emperor with the most unfathomable aura slowly spoke.

"The Holy Terra has already made a judgment on this matter."

Qin Feng's death was for the greater good of humanity; though he died, he was still honorable.

The Holy Academy will posthumously confer upon him the title of 'Hero of Humanity' with the highest honors, and his name will be forever engraved at the top of the Holy Academy's Hall of Heroes.

"His relatives, teachers and friends will receive the highest level of protection from the human race."

His private territory, Qin Feng Universe City, will be entrusted to the Holy Academy for safekeeping until a capable descendant of his bloodline emerges, at which point it will be returned to him.

"As for revenge..."

A cold killing intent flashed in the eyes of the white-haired quasi-emperor. "This debt will be remembered. Once the upheavals in Eternal Life Mountain and the other secret realms have subsided, and all the great powers of my human race have returned, that will be the time for a complete reckoning with all races!"

His words were resounding and calmed the turbulent emotions in the hall somewhat.

But the dark cloud of "sorrow" and "hatred" grew even thicker, shrouding the hearts of every high-ranking member of the human race.

The same scene is playing out in every corner of the universe.

On the morning star, a planet that has long been a tourist destination and a sacred place for martial arts among humans.

Inside the Wang family mansion, everything was dressed in white mourning clothes.

Wang Ming, Qin Feng's maternal uncle, seemed to have aged thousands of years overnight.

He sat there blankly, staring at the empty memorial tablet in the center of the mourning hall, not a single tear falling from his cloudy eyes.

When grief reaches its extreme, it becomes numbness.

Wang Hao and Wang Jie, Qin Feng's two younger brothers, were already in tears.

They knelt before the memorial tablet, their bodies trembling, repeatedly murmuring the words "elder brother".

They couldn't accept that their elder brother, who was like a god, was just... gone.

Several old friends and mentors who had walked out of Qimingxing with Qin Feng, such as Lin Yue and Wu Shangfeng, stood aside, silently accompanying him.

Their eyes were red, but they suppressed their grief and comforted Wang's family.

But aren't their own hearts bleeding too?

In another bustling cosmic city, inside a quaint teahouse.

Sun Chantang and Zhou Xiong, the two who initially guided Qin Feng on his path of martial arts, sat facing each other.

The tea on the table had gone completely cold.

Neither of them spoke; they simply sat quietly.

After a long while, Sun Chantang finally picked up the teacup with trembling hands, wanting to take a sip, but found that his hands were shaking so badly that half of the tea was spilled.

"Old Zhou... do you think this is true?"

His voice was hoarse and dry.

Zhou Xiong did not answer.

He simply closed his eyes slowly, his face as pale as paper.

He clearly remembered the boy who used a stone as a "whetstone" to hone his skills.

He clearly remembered that after learning the truth, the boy's eyes showed no resentment, only a more determined light.

He still remembers telling that boy, "Your stage is the stars and the sea."

But now, that vast ocean of stars has swallowed him up.

Zhou Xiong couldn't believe or accept this outcome.

The entire human territory of the universe was plunged into a profound grief.

Countless young martial artists who had heard of the legend of the "Ultimate God King" regarded Qin Feng as their idol and faith.

Today, the collapse of idols and the shattering of faith have an unimaginable impact on them.

But amidst this endless sorrow and darkness, sparks of revenge were quietly ignited.

Qin Feng's death was like a resounding slap in the face, striking every human being with blood in their veins.

It was like a catalyst, injecting into this soon-to-boil-up "golden age".

Everyone understood that an unprecedented, bloody storm that would sweep across the entire universe was brewing.

At the eye of the storm, the man whom everyone thought was "dead" was undergoing his most complete transformation in absolute silence.

……

[Qin Feng Universe City], Core Temple.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

It might be a year, or it might be ten years.

The "Divine Source Liquid" within the Pool of Rebirth, which would make even the Emperor Feng envious, has been consumed by 99%.

The color of the pool water changed from its original brilliant gold to clear and transparent.

In the center of the pool, a perfect body, radiating a faint silvery-white light, floated quietly.

His black hair was draped over his shoulders, his eyes were closed, and his face was exactly the same as Qin Feng's before, but he also had a kind of "Daoist charm" that was indescribable.

Every inch of his skin seemed to be the most perfect creation in the universe, with countless subtle laws flowing slowly on it, forming a supreme Daoist scripture called "Limit".

His breathing was long and steady, each breath seemingly capable of stirring the tides of a universe.

This is Qin Feng's newly formed [Limited Body].

A divine body, truly born for the "Way of Limits"!
Finally, his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The next moment, those eyes, which had been tightly closed for a long time, slowly opened.

boom! ! !
The instant he opened his eyes, two beams of black divine light, condensed to the extreme, burst forth from his eyes!

That divine light was neither energy nor law, but a manifestation of pure "quality".

It disregarded space, disregarded time, and even disregarded the indestructible temple walls forged from mysterious divine metal!

Wherever the divine light passed, all matter, energy, and laws were completely erased from the level of "concepts"!

Two extremely thin, pitch-black cracks, seemingly impenetrable even to light, appeared on the temple walls and extended all the way through the entire [Qin Feng Universe City], shooting into the cold vacuum of the outside world. They spread for countless light-years before slowly dissipating.

This is... [Ultimate Divine Light]!
It was Qin Feng who, during the last 10,000 years of his 30,000-year seclusion, combined all his life's learning to create this ultimate killing move at the King level!

Now, with his realm stabilized and his physical body perfectly reshaped, the power of this move has naturally come to fruition.

Those two beams of divine light were merely a trace of his aura that he unconsciously leaked out when he awoke.

Its power is enough to pose a fatal threat to even the top-tier Emperors!

Qin Feng slowly stood up from the pool, looked down at his flawless body, and felt the terrifying power contained within it, which was several times stronger than before. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He could sense that his physical strength had reached an unbelievable level.

If he were to face the Golden Emperor and others' [World-Suppressing Golden Pagoda] again, even if he stood still and let it suppress him, he probably wouldn't be able to harm his core.

"Immortal to all laws, indestructible by all paths..."

Qin Feng murmured to himself, "My [Limited Form] is finally beginning to truly evolve in this direction."

With a thought, a black robe automatically draped over his body.

The mechanical avatar "Vanguard," which had been waiting for a long time, had a faint flicker of black flame in its eyes. Then, it walked steadily to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng nodded. He and his avatar were connected by their souls, so there was no need for further words.

He turned his gaze to the two dark cracks that had been pierced by the [Ultimate Divine Light] and were slowly repairing themselves, and fell into deep thought.

The feigned death has been successful.

The physical body has been reshaped.

Our strength is greater than ever before.

So, next...

It's time for the "vanguard" role to officially take center stage and make its debut in this upcoming "golden age."

In his eyes, the black flames burned ever brighter.

An era belonging to "Qin Feng" has come to a tragic end.

And a new era, more mysterious and unpredictable, belonging to the "vanguard," has only just begun.

Once he is promoted to Emperor, he will slay all races and shoulder great responsibilities!

Qin Feng muttered to himself.
