High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 397 The Legend Returns! The Shock of the Terra Galaxy!

Passing through the magnificent portal of Lionsgate Starport, which resembled the mouth of a giant god, Qin Feng finally set foot on the land of Holy Terra.

The ground beneath our feet was not metal or rock, but a strange material that was as smooth as jade and engraved with countless fine runes.

With each breath, I could feel a massive amount of pure spiritual energy, purified countless times, surging into my limbs and bones.

Here, even an ordinary person with no cultivation can live to be a hundred years old, free from illness and disaster.

Qin Feng did not choose to take one of the "Light Railcars" that run through various parts of the city, but instead chose the most primitive way—walking.

Like a pilgrim newly arrived, he walked along streets wide enough for starships to sail side by side, gazing up at the towering Gothic buildings on either side that seemed to pierce the sky.

Every building here is more than just a building.

They are the key points of the formation, the energy nodes, and the monuments of history.

For countless eons, humanity's most outstanding array masters and architects have transformed the entire planet into an unprecedented, all-encompassing super war fortress, combining offense and defense.

Qin Feng could even sense that deep within the earth's crust, at the bottom of the ocean, and at the top of the clouds, there were terrifying energy reactions that would make even the Lord of the Universe wary.

This is the essence of humanity.

The true foundation of a supreme race that has stood among the myriad races of the universe for billions of years is far deeper than it appears on the surface.

He pressed on with a clear goal—the ultimate core located on the central axis of Terra, surrounded by all other buildings—the Tower of Terra.

That place is where the Thai Council is being held.

Terra Tower is not a tower, but a "pillar of the world" that runs through the planet's core and atmosphere, seemingly connecting the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity. Its height cannot be measured by conventional units of length.

The tower is divided into 3,600 floors, each representing an important historical period or a key functional department of the human race.

Only those whose cultivation reaches the Emperor Realm or above are qualified to ride the "Ascension Ladder" that leads directly to the top of the tower, the [Sky Council Hall].

Qin Feng arrived at the ground floor plaza of the Divine Tower.

The place was already packed with people.

Countless powerful Kings and Emperors were gathering in twos and threes, waiting to enter the Ascension Ladder.

The air was filled with the collision of various laws and the exchange of divine thoughts, creating a lively and extraordinary atmosphere.

Qin Feng's arrival still didn't attract much attention.

His unpretentious and genuine aura seemed out of place among these sharp and ambitious young talents, even somewhat... mediocre.

He stood silently at the back of the line, watching the young faces and listening to their conversation.

"Have you heard? This council meeting was convened by a decree personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor! This is an event unprecedented in several eras!"

“Definitely! I heard from my clan’s ancestor that a ‘war of gods’ broke out in the depths of the universe, and even the legendary primordial gods perished! This council meeting must be related to this matter.”

"God war? That's too far off... What I'm more concerned about is whether our human race's resources and territory will be redistributed after this council meeting? I've been holding back for a long time, ready to make a big splash on the frontier!"

"Come on, with your meager strength? This time, all the people coming are the true top figures of the human race! It's said that even those ancient monsters from the Holy Academy who have lived for countless years and are detached from worldly affairs will be attending!"

Qin Feng listened quietly, understanding the situation.

The emperor returns, and the war of the gods erupts.

These two pieces of news have clearly caused a huge uproar among the human race's high-ranking officials.

An unprecedented revolution that will sweep across the entire human race is about to begin.

The "Stairway to Heaven" is not a physical elevator, but a kind of spatial teleportation array.

As Qin Feng stepped inside, he felt a flash of light before his eyes, and in the next instant, he had already arrived at the highest level of Terra Tower—the [Sky Council Hall].

This is a place whose grandeur and solemnity cannot be described in words.

The entire council chamber seemed to have been created directly in the starry sky. Above the dome, a real, slowly flowing, dazzling Milky Way stretched out. Underfoot, the floor was transparent crystal, offering a panoramic view of the magnificent landscape of the entire sacred planet, Taura.

In the center of the hall stood a massive circular council table crafted from an unknown white divine metal.

A number of people were already seated around the parliamentary table.

Without exception, everyone sitting here possesses an unfathomable aura, and each of them is surrounded by a rich aura of sacred laws.

They are the true pillars of the Human Alliance—[Saint-level experts]!
Surrounding the parliamentary table were concentric circles of viewing seats suspended in the air.

The newly arrived young kings and emperors were being guided to their seats in the viewing area according to their respective status and power.

Qin Feng's arrival caused a brief commotion in the council chamber.

Because of him, he did not attend the ceremony.

Instead, he went straight to the round council table, a seat reserved only for Saint-level experts, symbolizing the highest power of the human race...

"Hey! Who's that guy? Is he crazy?"

"An 'ordinary person' who doesn't even exhibit any fluctuations in the laws of nature wants to sit at the council table??"

"Where did this newbie come from? So ignorant of the rules! Stop him!"

On the viewing platform, the young emperors made astonished and disdainful remarks.

Even the Imperial Guards officers in charge of guiding the process were ready to step forward and stop this arrogant fellow.

However, at this moment.

Sudden changes occur.

A burly, imposing old man with an aura of dominance, who seemed capable of swallowing an entire galaxy, suddenly stood up.

In his majestic eyes, a hint of doubt first flashed, then shock, and finally, an indescribable excitement and relief.

Ignoring the commotion around him, he burst into loud laughter, directly addressing the "unfamiliar" figure who was walking toward the parliamentary table.

"Good lad! You...you're finally back!!"

The loud laughter, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly plunged the noisy council hall into a deathly silence.

All eyes were on the gray-haired old man.

Because they all know this person.

He is none other than the infamous [Devouring Saint], known for his domineering nature and protectiveness of his own in the Human Race Holy Academy!
How could a top saint who had been famous for several eras show such an uncomfortable expression in front of an unknown "stranger"?

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, Qin Feng stopped and looked at the gray-haired old man, a genuine and gentle smile appearing on his face.

He bowed slightly and gave a salute.

"Master."

"Disciple, you've returned."

Master?!
disciple?!
These two words exploded in the minds of all the young prodigies at the same time, like ten thousand supernovae!

The Devouring Heaven Saint... is actually this stranger's... master?!

The Devouring Heaven Saint strode to Qin Feng's side in a few steps, his large, fan-like hand patting heavily on Qin Feng's shoulder. He carefully examined Qin Feng, sensing the unfathomable, profound aura emanating from him, and his eyes showed even greater satisfaction.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, his voice filled with emotion.

"When I sent you into the Cosmic Genius Battle back then, I was worried that this rough gem of yours would be shattered along the way. But I never expected... not only did you not shatter, but you also honed yourself into an unparalleled divine weapon that even I cannot see through."

He shook his head and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "The student surpasses the master. You've already outdone your teacher."

He didn't use his divine sense to say these words; he spoke them directly.

Every word was clearly heard by everyone present.

"He went ahead of his master"?
These words, spoken by the Devouring Heaven Saint, carried enough weight to crush an entire galaxy!
This means that this "stranger" named Qin Feng is at least a top-tier saint, or even... higher?!

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng chuckled and shook his head.

"Master is joking."

His voice was calm and gentle, yet possessed a convincing power.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Without your guidance and protection back then, I would probably have perished on the road to growth. I will never forget this kindness."

He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Devouring Heaven's smile grew even brighter, and the hint of emotion in his eyes transformed into pure pride.

He knew that no matter how high his disciple rose or how strong he became, his pure and innocent heart would never change.

Just as the master and disciple were reminiscing...

On the other side of the parliamentary table, several more figures stood up and walked quickly toward Qin Feng.

"Brother Qin Feng!"

A middle-aged man, surrounded by the intent of a sword, with an aura so sharp it seemed to cleave space, was the first to step forward and give Qin Feng a heavy fist salute.

"It has been millions of years since we parted ways at Mount Eternal Life. I never imagined that we brothers would meet again! If it weren't for your rescue back then, all of us, more than 2,300 people, would probably have turned into withered bones in that killing trap long ago!"

He was one of the leaders of the 2,300 Emperor-level Allied Forces that Qin Feng had rescued from the Eternal Life Mountain trap years ago, and now he has successfully achieved sainthood—the [Overlord Blade Saint]!
Immediately afterwards, another woman with a soft, feminine aura and a ghostly figure stepped forward and bowed gracefully to Qin Feng.

"Yunfu greets Venerable Qin Feng. I, along with the tens of thousands of brothers behind me, will never forget the life-saving grace of Death Island."

She is none other than the Cloud Bat Marquis, whom Qin Feng rescued from the Island of Death and Fall back then. Now, with her profound accumulation of knowledge and experience, she has also stepped into the Saint Realm.

"Lord Qin Feng!"

"Commander Qin!"

For a moment, the entire council chamber seemed to have transformed into a large-scale family reunion.

One by one, the Saint-level experts and Limit-level Emperors, who were renowned in the Human Alliance and whose mere stomp could shake a star field, actually took the initiative, even eagerly, to step forward and pay the most sincere and respectful greetings to Qin Feng.

Their reasons were remarkably consistent.

—A life-saving grace!
In the Battle of Eternal Life Mountain, Qin Feng single-handedly wiped out 2,300 enemies from the Allied Forces of Emperors, saving their lives!

On the Isle of Death, Qin Feng infiltrated alone, broke through the ancient prison, and rescued tens of thousands of human elites!
……

One by one, these "mythical achievements" that once existed only in legends and were even considered by many to be exaggerated were confirmed by the people involved!

The entire Sky Council Hall fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

Especially those young princes and emperors in the audience.

Their mouths could be opened wide enough to fit a planet.

Their brains have completely shut down.

What did they see?
They saw that at least a third of the Saint Realm bigwigs and high-ranking figures in the Human Alliance, whom they could only look up to on ordinary days, were actually lining up to bow, greet, and express their gratitude to the stranger they regarded as a "country bumpkin" and an "old relic"!

Thor, whom they had just mocked, was now flushed red and his body was as stiff as a stone.

Because he saw that the person he respected most, the one he idolized, the founder of their Thunder God lineage—the [Thunderstorm Saint]—was also on the list! And he was looking at Qin Feng with an extremely complex gaze, one of gratitude and guilt.

These young prodigies felt that their worldview had been completely overturned at this moment.

Their proud identity and their proud background seem so ridiculous and so... insignificant in front of this "stranger".

Their proud "backer" was actually saved by this person!

What an absurd yet incredibly real form of dimensional reduction attack!
"He...who is he?"

A young emperor, speaking in a dreamlike tone, murmured to himself.

This question reflects the sentiments of all the younger generation present.

Who exactly is this seemingly ordinary man who has never appeared in the legends of their time?
Why do the human race's high-ranking officials all hold him in such high esteem and gratitude?

Why is it that he alone has shown such immense...gratitude to the entire human race?!

No one answered them.

Because those older generation powerhouses are currently immersed in the excitement of reuniting with old friends.

Qin Feng, faced with this overwhelming kindness and gratitude, was overwhelmed.

His face always wore that gentle and calm smile.

He responded to each person's greeting without the slightest impatience or arrogance.

He knew that these were all "causes" he had sown in the past.

And today, he has reaped the rewards.

After everyone had finished their greetings, Qin Feng's gaze slowly swept across the entire room.

I glanced at the excited old friends, and also at the dumbfounded "newcomers".

Finally, he walked to the huge round council table and slowly sat down in an empty seat that had been reserved for him, second only to the positions of several universe lords.

He didn't speak.

But his taking his seat was itself a powerful declaration.

who am I?
I am Qin Feng.

One, who emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, who single-handedly saved the lives of countless predecessors... a ghost.

One, you may never have heard of, but you have all benefited from its influence to some extent today... a legend.

just now.

The legend is back.
