High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 380 The Journey to Mount Eternal Life: Have the world forgotten the terrifying power of the Ultimate God Emperor?!

The universe boils over because of one person, and the storm takes the starry sea as its stage, sweeping across billions of races.

The legendary "Ultimate God Marquis" has returned from the dead under the name "Ultimate God Emperor," and his head, a top-tier emperor's head, serves as a declaration. This news is like a supernova thrown into a calm lake, and the ripples it creates are still spreading wildly, subverting the understanding of countless powerful individuals and the inherent structure of the universe.

Alliances are being formed, murderous intent is brewing, celebrations are spreading, and awe is growing.

The entire universe became noisy and turbulent because of the name "Qin Feng".

However, Qin Feng himself, at the center of all this storm, was completely unaware of it.

Or rather, he didn't care at all.

In a desolate star field, countless light-years away from the Feathered Clan Empire, inside a massive rocky planet that had long since died and whose core had completely cooled, within a dimensional cavern he had temporarily created with his supreme power, the concepts of time and space seemed to have been stripped away.

There is no light, no sound, and not even the slightest energy fluctuation emanating from here.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged in the center of the cave. His body, which was covered with hideous wounds from countless battles and was almost crippled, was now emanating a faint aura of impending annihilation.

The depletion of his imperial essence and the erosion from the wounds of the laws made him look like a statue on the verge of decay, filled with a sense of deathly stillness.

His entire being had sunk to an unprecedented depth, completely isolated from everything outside.

Before him, the seven-colored crystal bottle containing the [Tears of the World Tree] floated silently.

Inside the bottle, a single, seemingly tiny, emerald-green droplet, which in fact appears to contain a nascent universe, radiates a soft yet vast aura of life.

That halo is the manifestation of the most fundamental laws of life in the universe; simply looking at it is enough to bring peace and excitement to the soul of any living being.

This is one of the supreme divine artifacts of the Feathered Clan, the [Tear of the World Tree].

Legend has it that this is a tear of joy shed by the World Tree, which spanned countless dimensions, at the beginning of the universe, after witnessing the birth and prosperity of the first world.

It is not a magical artifact used for combat, but the life essence and world laws it contains are a supreme treasure that any cultivator who needs to heal, consolidate their realm, and comprehend the laws would dream of.

Especially for Qin Feng, who had just experienced a ten-thousand-year-long battle at the level of an emperor, whose essence was depleted and who was seriously injured, this item was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, and was the key to helping him complete the final step of his transformation.

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? Gone was the sharp edge of the past; only a profound and serene understanding of the essence of all things remained.

Looking at the World Tree Tear before him, he didn't hesitate at all, and gently touched the crystal bottle with his finger.

"Boom."

A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.

The seemingly indestructible crystal bottle instantly transformed into the purest energy particles, dissipating into nothingness.

Freed from its constraints, that single drop of the World Tree Tear immediately shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

The entire dark cave was instantly filled with a vibrant green divine light.

The life force, so dense it seemed to materialize, formed a verdant ocean that completely engulfed Qin Feng's figure.

In this ocean of life, there are even strange phenomena of plants sprouting and the world being born and dying, which are constantly evolving.

The mere emanation of the aura was enough to revitalize this planet, which had been dead for billions of years, and allow it to evolve into a completely new world of life.

Faced with such immense energy, Qin Feng remained calm and composed.

He opened his mouth and took a gentle sniff.

It was like a whale sucking in water, or a black hole swallowing it up.

The World Tree Tear, which was suspended in the air and required even the most powerful emperors to refine it in batches over tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, transformed into a stream of emerald light and was swallowed by him in one gulp.

boom--! ! !
An indescribable, gentle yet domineering torrent of creation-level life force erupted within his body in an instant!
In that instant, Qin Feng felt as if he had swallowed an entire universe that was constantly expanding and creating!

The boundless source of life, like a bursting dam, washed over his limbs and bones, every cell, every meridian, and every wisp of his soul.

His imperial essence, which had been nearly depleted from his fierce battle with the Golden Emperor, was being replenished at an astonishing rate by this torrent of life, like parched land receiving timely rain.

Those indelible injuries left in his body by the Golden Emperor's imperial laws, like maggots clinging to bones, were easily purified, smoothed out, and erased in the face of this more fundamental and advanced law of life and the world, just as ice and snow met the blazing sun.

[Limited Body] Its silvery-white body was now glowing with emerald green divine light from the inside out.

Every cell was cheering and jumping for joy. Like ferocious beasts that had been starving for millions of years, they frantically devoured this life energy, carrying out the deepest level of repair and transformation.

This is a long process.

For the outside universe, it may be just a blink of an eye, but in Qin Feng's perception, the flow of time is infinitely stretched.

The ten thousandth year.

Qin Feng's injuries have healed.

Not only the deep, bone-revealing wounds on the surface, but also the traumas that penetrated to the very core and soul, were completely healed under the nourishment of the World Tree's Tears, leaving not a single flaw.

His [Limited Body], which had been somewhat dimmed due to the depletion of his source, regained its brilliance, with silvery-white divine light flowing endlessly, filled with immortal and indestructible divinity.

His imperial essence has not only been completely filled, but is also continuously expanding and growing stronger, its magnificence already surpassing that of when he was first promoted to emperor.

The healing alone consumed ten thousand years of time and nearly ten percent of the energy of the World Tree's Tear, demonstrating the ferocity of the previous battle and the terrifying nature of injuries sustained by a King-level cultivator.

However, this is just the beginning.

The 30,000th year.

After his injuries healed and his essence was replenished, the immense energy of the World Tree's Tears began to truly merge and refine with Qin Feng's Dao and Dharma.

His [Limited Body] is his foundation. This supreme battle body, which embodies his "Limited" way, has begun a new round of evolution under the infusion of massive life essence.

On its originally pure silver-white body, countless tiny emerald green specks, smaller than dust particles, began to appear.

Each point of light is like a miniature world rune, containing the profound truth of "birth" and "death".

These runes were not added by external force, but rather a completely new form that the [Limited Body] spontaneously evolved after absorbing the life laws of the World Tree.

It adds a touch of "creation" and "immortality" to this battle body, which is already known for its resilience and toughness.

The current "Ultimate Entity" has probably surpassed most special races in the universe that excel in vitality, simply in terms of the attribute of "vitality".

As long as his true spirit and origin are not completely wiped out by a single blow, theoretically, he can be reborn and recover indefinitely.

At the same time, his two core secret techniques are also undergoing a qualitative change.

The Royal-level secret technique, [Limited Divine Light], under the baptism of the world's laws, became more restrained, yet also more terrifying. Its original aura of extreme penetration and destruction of all things was now enveloped by a faint layer of "world" conception.

If he were to use this move again now, the divine light would not only cause the enemy to feel the collapse of the laws, but also the great power of "world rejection".

It's as if you and the entire universe have become enemies, denied and erased from the root.

This attack has transcended the level of simple energy and laws, and has begun to touch the realm of "concepts".

The divine-level secret technique [Myriad Manifestations] is even more effective for him.

The core of this secret technique lies in analysis.

The World Tree's Tears contains the most fundamental laws governing the formation of the world. Qin Feng was immersed in it, as if he had transformed into a creator god, witnessing firsthand the entire process of a universe's creation from nothingness to order.

His understanding of the laws has moved beyond the level of "use" and is beginning to leap towards the level of "creation." Now, any law below the Emperor level holds no secrets for him; he can easily see through its essence and even modify and distort it to a certain extent.

The 70,000th year.

Qin Feng's cultivation level began to loosen.

After thoroughly absorbing nearly 70% of the energy of the World Tree's Tear and integrating all his knowledge, his newly stabilized early-stage Emperor Realm cultivation began to climb to a higher level, as if water had naturally flowed into a channel.

The Emperor Realm is divided into four stages: early, middle, late, and peak.

For a normal emperor, each leap in a minor realm requires millions or even tens of millions of years of arduous cultivation and accumulation.

But for Qin Feng, this process was shortened infinitely.

His foundation is too strong.

The supreme foundation forged by the Primordial Singularity allows him to accommodate energy and laws far beyond his peers.

The World Tree Tear, a cosmic artifact of this caliber, might be an overwhelming flood that other emperors could hardly control, requiring careful guidance.

But for Qin Feng, this was merely a vast ocean where his "true dragon" could roam freely...

His aura rose steadily within the cave.

Mid-stage of the Emperor Conferment...

Empress Conferment Period...

This process lasted for a full 30,000 years.

The 100,000th year.

When the last wisp of energy from the World Tree's Tears was completely absorbed and refined by Qin Feng's Primal Singularity.

As his silver-white [Limited Body] was transformed, all the emerald green world runes disappeared into his body, turning into a restrained yet unfathomable divine radiance.

When his vast, cosmic aura finally stopped rising and slowly subsided, it returned to a state of tranquility.

Qin Feng opened his eyes again.

"Om-"

The instant he opened his eyes, two tangible beams of emerald green light flashed across his eyes.

Wherever the divine light swept, countless flowers, grasses, and vines full of spirituality sprouted out of thin air on the stone walls of the cave, and even butterflies danced among them. It was as if a void had been given the concept of "life" at his glance.

Then, these strange phenomena vanished instantly, as if they had never existed.

Qin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

This turbid air, tinged with a faint silvery-green hue, drifted out of the cave and merged into the desolate planet.

The next moment, deep within the cold core of this enormous planet, which had been dead for billions of years, a soft "thump" sounded, like a heart beating gently.

A faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of life began to spread from the planet's core throughout the entire planet. Perhaps in billions of years, a completely new world of life will truly evolve here.

It was just a breath of waste gas exhaled after 100,000 years of seclusion that possessed such extraordinary power!

Qin Feng looked down at his hands.

His hands were still the same hands, but the feeling they gave him was completely different.

He could clearly "see" that every cell in his body had transformed into a miniature singularity, containing explosive power and boundless vitality. His imperial essence had transformed into a silver-green divine river, surging endlessly within him, its power more than ten times stronger than it had been ten thousand years ago!
His perception of the laws has reached a completely new dimension.

In his "vision," the entire universe is no longer a cold expanse of stars and vacuum, but is composed of countless colorful "lines" of varying thicknesses.

These lines are the fundamental laws of the universe.

Time, space, cause and effect, fate, life, death...

He could even reach out and gently pluck some of the more "delicate" threads.

"Is this the power of achieving fame and being crowned emperor...?"

Qin Feng muttered to himself.

He could sense that he had now firmly established himself at the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and was only one step away from the peak.

This level of attainment is comparable to that of veteran powerhouses who have been immersed in the Emperor-Sealing Realm for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, such as the previous Golden Emperor.

He was even confident that he could easily surpass the Golden Emperor in terms of the strength of the laws and the magnificence of the origin!
"Do not……"

Qin Feng shook his head, a confident glint in his eyes.

"This is not just an improvement in one's realm."

He could clearly tell that his current true strength and realm were not entirely commensurate.

The supreme foundation of the Primordial Singularity, the perfected Ultimate Body, the Royal-level secret technique Ultimate Divine Light that integrates the laws of the world, and the Myriad Manifestations that have begun to touch upon the realm of "creation"...

All of these factors combined produce a qualitative change that is astonishing.

He has a strong intuition.

If he were to face the Golden Emperor from 100,000 years ago again, he might not need to spend 10,000 years fighting to the death.

He was confident that he could eliminate him head-on within a hundred moves!

"Infinitely close to achieving sainthood..."

Qin Feng made a clear assessment of his own combat capabilities.

Sainthood is a level of life form on another level. They have begun to transcend the constraints of the laws of the universe, condensing their own "sacred path," their words becoming law, and the world arising and ceasing with a single thought; they are true cosmic giants.

Qin Feng knew that he was still far from being a match for a true saint.

but……

"Below the rank of Saint, I am invincible!"

This is not an arrogant slogan, but a conclusion that Qin Feng came to with absolute certainty after making a precise assessment of his current strength.

Whether it's a veteran peak-level emperor or a peerless genius on the same path to godhood, as long as they haven't taken that final step and haven't truly "become a saint," they're all destined for greatness.

So, none of them will be his opponents now!

"After 100,000 years of seclusion, the gains have been greater than I imagined."

Qin Feng slowly stood up and stretched his body.

With his movements, the surrounding space groaned under the strain, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

This is because he has just completed his transformation and is not yet able to perfectly control the surging power within him.

With a thought, he slightly activated the [Primordial Singularity], and the terrifying aura that was about to escape and crush the stars was instantly contained.

At this moment, he looked like an ordinary person with no breath left, nothing special.

Only those deep eyes, occasionally opening and closing, reveal fleeting glimpses of the creation and destruction of the universe, proving the immense, world-destroying power hidden within this seemingly ordinary body.

"The seclusion is over, and the outside world must be in an uproar."

A faint smile appeared on Qin Feng's lips.

Although he was in deep seclusion, he was not completely isolated from the world. Through his forbidden-level servant "Thunderbolt" left in his base camp, Qin Feng Universe City, he could indirectly learn some important intelligence about the outside world.

The news that he "returned from the dead and defeated the Golden Emperor" had already spread throughout the universe.

The jubilation of the human race, the panic and alliance among the other races—all of this was within his expectations.

"Fear it, unite it..."

"The more you act this way, the more thoroughly I will be intimidated when I reign."

He did not immediately leave the seclusion to deal with these external disputes.

Liquidation is necessary.

but not now.

He has more important things to do.

Qin Feng's divine sense sank into his own sea of ​​souls and made contact with another body—the avatar "Vanguard"—far away in the depths of the Mechanical Race's territory.

Having confirmed that his avatar was safe and sound, and that he had thoroughly consolidated the Mechanical Race's position as the "Divine Child," and was methodically analyzing the twelve clan-protecting divine arts to lay the most solid foundation for his future plans, Qin Feng severed the connection.

Immediately afterwards, he contacted "Thunderbolt" through a master-servant contract.

"You've been released?"

Thunderbolt's respectful voice echoed in Qin Feng's mind.

"Hmm." Qin Feng responded calmly. "How was the situation within the territory while I was in seclusion?"

"Reporting to Master, all is well."

Thunderbolt quickly reported, "Since you dispatched your subordinates last time to swiftly quell several internal rebellions and promulgate new laws, all forces in the more than seven hundred universe kingdoms have completely submitted to you. Now, [Qin Feng Universe City] is truly impregnable and its orders are obeyed without question."

"very good."

Qin Feng nodded.

With the rear secure and the transformation successful, the original body also completed its final metamorphosis.

All the pieces he laid out for today are now in their places.

So……

"It's time to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me."

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless sea of ​​stars, looking towards a certain direction in the universe.

That place is one of the oldest and most mysterious forbidden areas in the universe.

—Mount Yongsheng.

Based on his memories from his previous life and the information he has gained in this life, he knows that the place not only holds the secret of "immortality" that would drive even powerful emperors crazy, but it is also the ultimate goal he set when he first devised the "fake death" plan.

Because what he needs—the final key item that will allow him to fully perfect his Path to the Limits, and even hopefully glimpse the mysteries of the Sacred Realm—is right there.

At the same time, he also knew that outside the Eternal Life Mountain, a net of ten thousand races must have been laid out to target him.

Thirty thousand years ago, he needed to fake his death to escape his pursuit. One hundred thousand years ago, when he first entered the Imperial Realm, facing such a deadly trap, he might have needed to plan carefully and find a weakness.

but now……

"A net is used to catch fish."

"But what if what swims by isn't a fish, but... a prehistoric dragon that has broken free of all its shackles?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Qin Feng's mouth.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the dimensional cave.

The next moment, he appeared in the dead silence of the cosmic vacuum.

With a casual wave of his hand, all traces of his existence within the planet that had been revitalized by his breath, along with the dimensional cave, were instantly erased from the river of time and space, leaving no trace of cause and effect.

After doing all this, a thought struck him.

hum-

A divine vehicle, shimmering with a dreamlike luster, boasting sleek and beautiful lines and brimming with futuristic technology, appeared out of thin air before him.

It was the Oracle.

Qin Feng stepped onto the bridge and set a new navigation coordinate on the main control screen.

[Target: Mount Eternal Life]

[Route Confirmed]

[Activating the warp drive...]

The hull of the Oracle began to emit faint spatial ripples. The next second, it transformed into a streak of light that could not be detected by the naked eye, instantly tearing through space and disappearing into this desolate star field.

Behind him, only an eternal silence and darkness remained.

And ahead of him lies an unprecedented... deadly feast prepared for him by the entire universe!

……

Mount Yongsheng.

This is one of the oldest and most mysterious forbidden zones for life in the universe.

It is not a mountain in the traditional sense, but a vast divine realm suspended in an independent spacetime fault, constructed from countless emerald green divine crystals.

From the outside, it resembles a boundless emerald, floating quietly in eternal nothingness, radiating a magnificent vitality that stirs the soul.

Legend has it that this is the point where the laws of life in the universe converge, holding the ultimate opportunity that allows even immortal emperors to break through the shackles of life and glimpse the secret of "eternal life".

Since the beginning of the Golden Age, this place has become one of the supreme battlefields for all races to vie for supremacy.

However, at this moment, this forbidden zone, which should have been filled with divinity and peace, is shrouded in a terrifying aura that could freeze time and space and crush eternity.

Darkness, coldness, and deathly silence.

Centered on Mount Immortality, the vast void with a radius exceeding tens of thousands of light-years has been completely transformed into a "death domain".

Within this realm, thousands of figures, like demons emerging from ancient myths, stood silently at different spatial coordinates.

Each figure exuded a vast and domineering aura of royalty!
Over a thousand... were bestowed the title of Emperor!
They come from all races of the universe, each with a unique form. There are the Horned Race, whose bodies are as large as stars and whose heads are adorned with ferocious demonic horns; there are the Crystal Race, whose bodies are entirely composed of dazzling divine crystals, reflecting a cold, icy light; there are the Stone Race, whose armor is clad in rock and whose aura is as heavy as the earth; and there are the Insect Race, whose wings blot out the sky and whose compound eyes gleam with cruel light…

They are the pinnacle of this cosmic pyramid. Any one of them could suppress the fortune of a powerful race and dominate the rise and fall of a vast star field.

And now, thousands of such beings have gathered here.

They formed a profound array, completely surrounding the entire Eternal Mountain, creating a true inescapable net. The imperial laws emanating from them intertwined and resonated, jointly driving an unparalleled array that enveloped the entire divine realm—the [Myriad Heavens God Sealing Array].

The great formation was formless and intangible, yet it completely severed the Eternal Mountain from all cause and effect, time and space, and laws of the outside world, turning it into a prison of despair.

Inside the cage were several top-tier emperors of the human race, including the renowned "Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor" and "Five Elements Emperor."

Outside the cage lies the allied army of a thousand emperors from all races, and an ultimate killing scheme that has been brewing for hundreds of thousands of years.

Originally, although the atmosphere here was tense, everything was under control. These emperors from all races, with the composure and confidence of cats playing with mice, methodically wore down the power of the human emperors within the great formation, waiting for the best time to close the net.

But not long ago, a message personally certified by the will of the universe, like a star thrown into a calm oil pan, instantly shattered the "peace" here.

Ultimate God Emperor, Qin Feng, returns from the dead and reverses the fate of the Golden Emperor!

This news plunged all the emperors of the myriad races who participated in this "Dragon-Slaying Feast" into an eerie silence.

Beneath the silence lay an uncontrollable shock, and two distinct emotions were growing wildly: one was a more intense arrogance and murderous intent, and the other was a fear and panic originating from the depths of the soul.

These two emotions intertwined and collided in silence, ultimately tearing this hastily formed alliance of a thousand emperors into two distinct factions.

A fierce debate concerning the entire deadly scheme erupted in this realm of death through hidden divine thoughts.

"...I still believe that Qin Feng is nothing to fear!"

A rough, domineering, and metallic divine thought exploded in the minds of all the emperors like thunder.

The one who issued this divine thought was an exceptionally large demon horned king. He stood tens of thousands of feet tall, perched atop a shattered star that he used as his throne. The pair of spiraling, ferocious demon horns atop his head seemed capable of easily piercing through a vast universe. Dark red demonic flames burned around him, scorching and distorting the surrounding void.

He was one of the initiators of this coalition, the top-ranking Emperor of the Demon Horn Clan—the Demon Horn Emperor. A veteran executioner who had been immersed in the Emperor realm for over thirty million years, his hands stained with endless blood.

His divine sense was imbued with an undeniable arrogance and dominance.

"Everyone, do not forget our purpose! What is it that led us to set up this [Myriad Heavens God Sealing Formation], which has consumed countless resources and effort!"

"It's for those old human bastards like the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor and the Five Elements Emperor inside Mount Eternal Life! They are the true pillars of humanity today! If we can slaughter them all here, there will be a gap in humanity's high-end combat power that will last for tens of millions of years!"

"This is the grand plan that will shake the very foundation of humanity and relegate it to a second-rate race in the coming golden age!"

"Qin Feng... Hmph, what is he?" The Demon Horn Emperor's divine sense was filled with disdain. "That's right, I admit that he did have some skill in killing the Golden Emperor. But so what? That Golden Emperor was a piece of trash, arrogant and conceited. He fought to the death alone, and he deserved to die!"

"But how many people are there here? One thousand one hundred and twenty-three emperors!"

"We possess the [Myriad Heavens God Sealing Array], which has been in operation for hundreds of thousands of years!"

"No matter how strong Qin Feng is, can he possibly stand alone against our thousands of emperors, or against this supreme formation capable of sealing even saints?!"

"It's laughable that we'd derail our core plan, which we've been preparing for a million years, for the sake of a mere junior who's just been promoted! My opinion is that we should ignore him! We should concentrate all our forces to continue wearing down the great formation and refine the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor and the others as soon as possible! That's the most urgent task!"

The Demon Horned Emperor's will, like a heavy hammer, struck the hearts of every emperor.

His words resonated with a significant number of emperors, especially the newly appointed emperors and those powerful figures who had not directly participated in the pursuit 30,000 years ago.

In their view, the Demon Horned Emperor was right.

The advantage is mine!

They possessed the advantages of timing, location, and popular support. What immense power did the combined might of thousands of emperors possess? Enough to sweep across the cosmic seas and annihilate any immortal lineage!
Although Qin Feng's achievements were astonishing, he was ultimately alone.

"The Demon Horned Emperor is right! Our target has always been the main human force within the Eternal Mountain!"

"That's right! Qin Feng's appearance might just be an accident. We can't let an accident throw us into disarray."

"He's just a newly crowned emperor. Even if he's strong, how strong can he be? The fall of the Golden Emperor was most likely due to carelessness and underestimation of his opponent. We have thousands of eyes watching him. If Qin Feng dares to come, he's just courting death!"

One after another, divine thoughts, some arrogant, some confident, responded. This convergence of wills intensified the killing intent within this realm of death.

However, at this moment, a cold, sharp divine thought, carrying an undisguised solemnity and panic, forcefully cut into this torrent of fanatical will like a sharp sword.

"Ridiculous? Demon Horned Emperor, in my opinion, what is truly laughable is your foolish arrogance!"

The source of this divine thought was none other than the Crystal Emperor of the Crystal Clan.

His body, composed of billions of crystal facets, floated in the void, refracting the residual light of the surrounding stars, making him appear exceptionally cold.

His divine sense caused the atmosphere in the room to freeze instantly.

"Crystal Emperor, what do you mean?" A hint of displeasure flashed in the Demon Horn Emperor's dark red pupils.

"What do you mean?" The Crystal Emperor sneered, his divine sense filled with mockery and lingering fear. "What I mean is that you guys who have never truly faced that monster have no idea what kind of being we are facing!"

"Newly appointed emperor? A junior?"

"Who among you has ever seen a marquis directly defeat a king?!"

"Who among you has ever seen a King-level cultivator calmly 'feign death' and escape from an encirclement of dozens of Emperor-level cultivators?!"

"Now, he has, as a newly appointed emperor, directly annihilated a top-tier emperor who has been famous for tens of millions of years! You call this 'having some skill'?"

The Crystal Emperor's divine sense, like a barrage of questions, bombarded every emperor present. His words contained a deep-seated fear. Because he was one of the emperors who had participated in the ambush years ago! He knew better than anyone how…unreasonable, Qin Feng's growth rate was!
"You only saw that he killed the Golden Emperor, but you overlooked the most crucial point—time!"

"How long has it been since he 'fell'? A mere 30,000 years!"

"Thirty thousand years is nothing more than the time it takes for us to take a nap! Yet he has grown from a king whom we hunted down with nowhere to run, to a royal hunter who can easily hunt us down!"

"I ask you, if you give him another 300,000 years, or 3 million years, how far will he grow? Will he become a saint? Or... even higher?"

The Crystal Emperor's question was like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of those fanatical emperors.

yes……

Growth rate!

This is the scariest place!

It's not the strength of an enemy that's frightening. What's frightening is when that enemy's strength has no limit, and its growth rate is so rapid that it leaves you feeling hopeless!
"Demon Horn Emperor, you keep saying our target is those old fogies like the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor. Yes, they are the pillars of humanity." The Crystal Emperor's divine sense grew increasingly sharp. "But even pillars eventually decay! And Qin Feng, he is not a pillar, he is humanity's future…the future!"

"A pillar can be rebuilt if it breaks. But if the sky collapses, then everything is gone!"

"This person is the true scourge of all races! His threat level far surpasses that of the dozen or so old fellows, the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor!"

"Therefore, my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours!" The Crystal Emperor's voice was resolute. "We not only cannot ignore him, but we must also make him the highest priority target in this operation!"

"Using Mount Eternal Life as a ready-made prison, and the lives of the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor and others as bait, we will lure him here! Then, at all costs, we will use all our strength to completely, utterly, and without leaving a trace, annihilate him here!"

"This is the true solution that will last forever! Otherwise, if we release the tiger back into the mountains today, one day we will all become sacrifices for him to ascend to the holy realm!"

Jinghuang's words were resounding and instantly reversed the previously one-sided atmosphere.

Many emperors who had participated in the pursuit echoed this sentiment.

"What the Crystal Emperor said is true! That Qin Feng is a monster! He cannot be judged by ordinary standards!"

"I agree! Killing the Sky-Piercing Sword Emperor is a blow to humanity's present. Killing Qin Feng is to sever humanity's future! The difference is obvious!"

"We've already missed one opportunity; we absolutely cannot afford to miss a second! Otherwise, the fate of the Golden Emperor will be a preview of what will happen to us all!"

For a time, two completely different opinions clashed fiercely, and neither could convince the other.

One faction, led by Demon Horn Emperor, is the "pro-war faction." They believe that a swift and decisive battle should be waged to eliminate the enemies within the Eternal Life Mountain and seize the opportunity, regarding Qin Feng as a secondary threat.

The other faction, led by Crystal Emperor, is the "Dragon Slayer Faction." They believe that Qin Feng is the true ultimate threat and that they must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the tables, set up an eternal killing trap, and completely eliminate him.

The argument escalated.

The wills of thousands of emperors clashed in this void, causing the laws to become disordered and spacetime to become unstable.

Just as the allied forces were about to split due to disagreements, an ancient, profound, and seemingly ancient divine thought, originating from the core of the earth, slowly enveloped the entire area, forcibly suppressing all the clamorous wills.

"enough."

Just two words, yet they contained a terrifying pressure that made all emperors' hearts sink.

Even the most arrogant Demon Horn Emperor and the most excited Crystal Emperor subconsciously restrained their auras.

Because the owner of this divine thought is one of the most senior and unfathomably powerful beings in this allied forces—the Stone Emperor of the Stone Clan.

This is an ancient artifact that has lived for nearly 100 million years. It is said that it already existed at the end of the last golden age.

The Stone Emperor's towering body, as majestic as a mountain range, slowly turned, and his eyes, made of lava, swept over the Demon Horn Emperor and the Crystal Emperor.

“What you two say makes sense.”

His divine sense, though unhurried, possessed a power that compelled people to believe.

"What the Demon Horned Emperor is worried about is the root of this war. We have paid such a high price, and our goal is to clip the wings of the human race. This core objective cannot be shaken."

"What the Crystal Emperor said is also a wise and mature view. Qin Feng is indeed a rare variable in all of history, and his speed of growth is beyond comprehension. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, he will surely become a great disaster in the future. This potential threat cannot be ignored either."

Upon hearing the Stone Emperor's initial assessment that both sides should be equally blamed, the two emperors snorted coldly and remained silent, awaiting his next words.

“Since both have their reasons…” The Stone Emperor’s divine sense slowly swept over each of the emperors present, “then… why should we make a choice?”

Upon hearing this, all the emperors were taken aback.

What do you mean?
The ancient voice of the Stone Emperor continued to resound:
"Only children make choices."

"We are the emperors. We are the most supreme beings in this universe."

"We want them all!"

boom!
The last four words, like a thunderclap at the dawn of the universe, resounded in the hearts of all the emperors!

The Demon King's dark red pupils suddenly contracted.

A glimmer of understanding flashed across the Crystal Emperor's crystal-made face.

"Stone Emperor, you mean..."

“Not bad.” The Stone Emperor’s divine sense became deep and filled with killing intent. “Our plan can be slightly modified.”

"We must not only slay the human emperors within the Eternal Life Mountain, but also... bury that arrogant Limit God Emperor here as well!"

"The Sky-Piercing Sword Emperor and his ilk are 'fish,' and Qin Feng is also a 'fish.' Our net is big enough and strong enough! Since that's the case, why can't we... catch them all in one fell swoop?!"

The Stone Emperor's suggestion was like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating the minds of all the emperors.

Yes!

Why do they have to choose between the two?
They have thousands of emperors!
They possess the [Ten Thousand Days God Sealing Formation]!
They possess absolute power that can crush everything!

"How exactly do we do it?" the Demon Horned Emperor asked in a deep voice, his tone already showing a hint of interest.

"It's very simple," Shi Huang said confidently. "Our plan will proceed as scheduled. Continue to activate the great formation to wear down the power of the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor and the others. This in itself is the best 'invitation' to Qin Feng."

"Given Qin Feng's personality and past behavior, if he learns that a member of his clan's emperor is trapped and in danger of dying, would he... not come?"

“He will definitely come!” Crystal Emperor immediately interjected, his voice tinged with a morbid excitement. “He may seem cold-hearted, but he actually values ​​cause and effect and his clan immensely! He will definitely come to save people! He will definitely run headlong into our encirclement!”

“That’s right,” the Stone Emperor continued. “When he arrives, we will divide our forces by half, no, by eight hundred emperors, to form the ‘Decisive Killing Formation’ specifically to deal with him alone! The remaining three hundred or so comrades will continue to maintain the formation, suppressing the Sky-Supporting Sword Emperor and others, to prevent them from colluding with us from within.

"With the power of eight hundred emperors forming a killing formation, they will surround and kill him head-on! Even if he has three heads and six arms, and possesses heaven-defying abilities, he will have absolutely no chance of survival!"

"After we kill Qin Feng, we will join forces and slaughter all the remaining human remnants in the Eternal Life Mountain who are already at their last gasp!"

"In this way, humanity's present and future will be destroyed by us in one fell swoop!"

Shi Huang's plan was clear, ruthless, and highly feasible.

He perfectly unified two seemingly contradictory goals.

The tactic of "encircling the point and attacking the reinforcements" has been upgraded into an even larger-scale and bloodier "ultimate feast" where "encircling the point" and "attacking the reinforcements" are carried out simultaneously!
After hearing the plan, both the Demon Horn Emperor and the Crystal Emperor, who had been arguing fiercely, fell silent.

In their minds, they rapidly analyzed every detail of the plan, searching for any flaws.

However, they discovered that in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery seemed pale and powerless.

This plan is almost... a calculated scheme!
A death trap laid bare, one you have no choice but to jump into!
"it is good!"

After a long silence, the Demon Horned Emperor was the first to break it. His enormous demonic eyes burned with unprecedented cruelty and excitement.

"That's settled then! I want to see how that so-called God Emperor can defy the heavens when faced with the killing formation composed of eight hundred of us emperors!"

"I... have no objections," the Crystal Emperor also stated. This plan prioritized the threat he feared most, employing absolute power to eliminate it; he could find no reason to object.

With the three top emperors reaching a consensus, the other emperors naturally had no further objections.

In an instant, the will of the entire Thousand Emperors Alliance was united as never before.

The slight rifts caused by previous arguments have been bridged by a grander and more ambitious goal.

A unified killing intent, several times stronger than before and chilling to the bone, rose from the thousands of emperors, gathered together, and transformed into a visible blood-red cloud that enveloped the entire spacetime fault!
"Give me the order!"

The ancient and majestic voice of the Stone Emperor echoed in the hearts of every emperor.

"Everyone, to your positions!"

"Formation Master, adjust the operation mode of the [Myriad Heavens God Sealing Array] and reserve eight hundred 'killing array' nodes!"

"Those in charge of the main attack, intensify the erosion of the laws! Add fuel to the fire for the guests in the Eternal Life Mountain!"

"Everyone else, conceal your presence and enter a state of stealth! Await... the arrival of our 'distinguished guest'!"

"Today, this place will be the... finale of humanity's golden age!"

"Here!"

Thousands of divine thoughts, each imbued with boundless killing intent, converged into a torrent that shook the entire universe!

With the order given, the entire operation, like a sophisticated and massive war machine, began to rumble into action.

What was originally just a siege formation, the [Myriad Heavens Sealing God Formation], began to undergo strange changes in its internal structure, with countless hidden killing restrictions being quietly activated.

This net of death, meticulously prepared for Qin Feng and the entire human race for millions of years, has finally unleashed its most ferocious fangs.

And their prey, piloting the Oracle, is tearing through layers of space, hurtling towards this most dangerous hunting ground in the universe with unstoppable force.
