High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 418 The Rotten Roots of the World Tree

Chapter 418 The Rotten Roots of the World Tree
The edge of the universe, the heat death zone.

This is the graveyard of the laws of physics.

There was no light, no heat, no motion. All the atoms had stopped vibrating, and time seemed to have lost its meaning here.

Qin Feng's figure, relying on the ethereal ability of the Taixu Divine Vein, traversed through absolute darkness.

His indestructible bronze heart was pounding violently, and a continuous stream of crimson divine power circulated within him, resisting the absolute zero outside that was trying to assimilate everything.

"If it weren't for this heart, the environment here alone would have frozen the soul of an ordinary Venerable into ice shards."

Qin Feng exhaled a breath of hot air, which immediately turned into a lump of ice crystals and fell to the ground.

The Eye of Guixu is now fully powered.

Thirty million kilometers ahead in the void, he saw the moving target.

That was a... ghost ark.

Stretching for thousands of miles, it was crafted from the bones of an unknown behemoth and exuded an aura of deathly decay.

At the stern of the ark, thousands of black chains trailed behind. At the other end of each chain was bound a black, irregularly shaped metal object with a diameter of one kilometer.

The space around the metallic object exhibited a strange "static state." Even quantum fluctuations were smoothed out.

This is **【Silent Extinction - Frosty Abyss Iron Mother】**.

On the deck of the ark stood a gaunt figure wearing a tattered gray robe and holding a sickle.

He had no physical body; his entire being seemed to be made of ashes.

Competitor intelligence:

Name: The Undertaker Gray.

Realm: Supreme Being of the Universe (Limit), Master of the Law of Entropy Increase.

Identity: A servant of the evil god "Nurgle", responsible for collecting dead matter at the ends of the universe.

Gray seemed to sense the presence of the living.

He slowly turned his head; beneath the hood, there was no face, only a dark vortex.

Why would a living person set foot in a cemetery?

His voice was flat and monotone, giving the listener a sense of utter despair.

"Are you here to die?"

Qin Feng took a step and landed directly on the deck of the ark.

The skeletal deck beneath my feet creaked under the strain.

"I'm here to pick up the goods."

Qin Feng pointed to the Cold Abyss Iron Mother being dragged behind.

"I'll take this. You can get lost, or die."

Gray tapped the deck lightly with the scythe in his hand.

"It is a gift to our Lord."

"Since you're here, stay with us. Your vitality... is very strong, which is perfect for neutralizing the Iron Mother's coldness."

"Divine Skill - The End of All Things".

Gray didn't waste any more words and made his move immediately.

He swung the sickle in his hand.

There were no energy fluctuations, nor any dazzling light.

Only a gray wind blew towards Qin Feng.

Where the wind blew, the bones on the deck instantly turned to sand. The spatial structure began to collapse, and even the chains of rules broke.

This is entropy increase. It turns everything ordered into disorder, and everything that exists into nothingness.

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

This type of attack renders conventional physical defenses and energy shields ineffective. Because shields themselves are also "ordered structures," they will be instantly disintegrated.

"Playing by the rules?"

Qin Feng sneered.

"In this universe, there is only one thing that can fight against the increase of entropy."

"That is—infinite energy!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Qin Feng's indestructible red copper heart in his chest pounded wildly, its frequency instantly increasing to ten thousand times per second.

boom--! ! !
A crimson, tangible thermal energy storm erupted from Qin Feng's body.

Supernatural Power: Great Sun Shines - Reverse Entropy.

The red heat energy clashed with the gray death wind in the center of the deck.

This is not merely a battle between cold and heat; it is a struggle between the laws of survival and death.

sizzle-

The gray, deathly wind was forcefully pushed back by the endless heat energy.

Greyna's previously unmoved body finally trembled slightly.

"Unlimited energy? That's impossible... Even stars eventually die out, so how can your energy be inexhaustible?"

"Because my heart will never be extinguished."

Qin Feng shattered the deck with a single step, his figure moving like lightning, instantly breaking through the blockade of the dead wind and appearing in front of Gray.

"Your sickle is too light."

Qin Feng threw a punch.

This punch carried a force a billion times greater than that of the Prison-Suppressing Divine Bone.

Gray raised his scythe to block.

Click!

That scythe of death, which had reaped countless star souls, broke like a withered tree branch in the face of absolute mass.

Qin Feng's fist slammed straight into Gray's chest.

"Wither!"

At the last moment, Gray attempted to detonate the entropy-increasing core within his body, sacrificing himself and others.

An extreme chill spread along Qin Feng's arm, attempting to freeze his blood and soul.

But Qin Feng just grinned.

"Freeze me?"

"I'm so hot!"

boom!
The fiery divine blood pumped from his heart instantly washed over his arm, forcing back the chill.

At the same time, Qin Feng exerted force with his palm, causing gravitational waves to oscillate.

"broken!"

boom--

The Undertaker's body exploded into a cloud of gray mist.

The gray mist attempted to recombine, but was completely evaporated by the high temperature emanating from Qin Feng.

Thus, a generation of evil god's followers perished.

Having dealt with Gray, Qin Feng flew towards the stern of the ark.

The [Silent Annihilation - Frosty Abyss Iron Mother] floated there silently.

Even with the indestructible red copper protecting him, Qin Feng still felt his thinking begin to slow down when he got close to it.

This is a divine object that can even freeze "thoughts".

"nice one."

"With the Heart of Red Copper, my body is like a giant furnace. Although it has boundless power, it is also prone to overheating and going berserk."

"This piece of iron is perfect for making a cooling system."

"Moreover, the most suitable location for it is... the brain."

Qin Feng did not hesitate.

He embraced the black metal, which was a kilometer in diameter, with both hands.

"Chaotic Primal Core, devour!"

The massive metal object rapidly shrank under the compression of the chaotic power, eventually transforming into a jet-black, chilling current.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, inhaling the chill into his brow.

boom!
His mind went completely blank for a moment.

The soul in the sea of consciousness was frozen for a fraction of a second, and then immediately protected by the chaotic primordial core.

A cold current swirled within Qin Feng's skull, slowly seeping into every brain cell and merging with his consciousness.

【Silent Extinction - Frosty Abyss Iron Mother】 - Refining complete.

Qin Feng opened his eyes.

His left eye remained a fiery gold, but his right eye had turned a deep, icy blue.

An unprecedented sense of absolute rationality filled his mind.

The slight violent emotion that had arisen from the surge in power was instantly suppressed.

His calculation ability and logical thinking speed increased ten thousandfold at that moment.

Even as his body is engaged in a devastating battle, his brain can still analyze the situation with the cold-blooded efficiency of a supercomputer.

"Ice and fire share the same origin, and yin and yang are in balance."

Qin Feng clenched his fist, feeling better than ever before.

"Bones, meridians, heart, brain."

"Now, this body is missing one last thing."

"flesh."

Qin Feng, though seemingly flesh and blood, is merely an energy mimicry. True flesh and blood requires the properties of "infinite regeneration" and "endless life" to withstand the tearing apart of the Big Bang.

The star map in his mind lit up again.

The fifth red dot twinkles in the distant seventh sector.

That place is both a forbidden zone and a cradle of life.

The fifth piece of primordial divine gold—【Creation·Azure Wood Divine Gold】.

At the border between the battlefields of the Elves and the Zerg—the decaying roots of the World Tree.

"Set off."

With a thought, Qin Feng activated the laws of space and vanished directly into the heat death zone.

Seventh Star Sector, Planet S-77.

This is a huge green planet. But not the vibrant green of life; it's a ghastly green.

This place was once a sacred land for the elves, possessing a World Tree that stretched straight to the heavens. But three thousand years ago, the insectoid army descended and turned this place into a meat grinder.

Today, the World Tree has withered, and its trunk is covered with insect eggs and slime.

Qin Feng's figure appeared high in the sky.

The air was thick with a toxic mist of spores. On the ground, countless mutated insectoids and infected treants were locked in a fierce battle.

"【Azure Wood Divine Gold】is located under the tree roots."

Qin Feng's right eye flashed, instantly analyzing the energy distribution below.

“There is an extremely large, yet extremely distorted, life energy there.”

He didn't conceal his presence; instead, he transformed into a shooting star and crashed into the roots of the World Tree.

boom!
The shockwave from the landing killed a ring of jumping insects that had surrounded it.

Qin Feng walked to a huge tree hole.

This is the entrance to the underground roots.

But at the entrance, a colossal object blocked the way.

It was a monster thirty meters tall. It had the upper body of an elf, handsome and pale, but its lower body was the bloated and ugly abdomen of an insectoid, with twelve pairs of rotting wings growing from its back.

Countless green tentacles extended from its body, digging deep into the soil, seemingly drawing something from it.

Competitor intelligence:

Name: Malorne, the King of Decay.

Realm: Universe Venerable (Peak).

Race: Fallen Elf/Insectoid hybrid.

Characteristics: Immortal, infinitely proliferating.

Maron opened her compound eyes and looked at Qin Feng.

"Humans? Fresh flesh and blood..."

Its sound was like countless insects rubbing together.

"Get out of my way, or become my nourishment."

“I am uniting with the divine... I am just one step away from becoming the new God of Life!”

Its tentacles writhed behind it, each end of which was connected to a piece of metal emitting an emerald green light—[Creation·Azure Wood Divine Metal].

This piece of divine gold has been half-tainted by it, turning it into a dark green color.

You've made it dirty.

Qin Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the divine metal covered in viscous liquid.

"That's my flesh, how dare you touch it?"

"yours?"

Marorne sneered, "Here, I rule over life!"

call--

With a wave of its hand, countless enormous man-eating vines instantly sprouted from the ground, each covered with barbs and sharp teeth, lashing out at Qin Feng.

Meanwhile, its wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is the ability that [Azure Wood Divine Gold] bestowed upon it—absolute regeneration.

Qin Feng was surrounded by vines.

He didn't move.

His body erupted with internal energy, shattering the vines.

But the next second, more vines grew out and evolved resistance.

"It's useless!" Maron laughed wildly. "I have divine metal empowering me, my life force is inexhaustible! You can't kill me, but I can wear you down!"

It was full of confidence. Because it had withstood the siege of three Venerables in a great battle, and in the end, it exhausted their energy and devoured them.

But it encountered Qin Feng.

A freak with an "immortal heart" and a "brain of the cold abyss".

"Can't be killed?"

The icy blue light in Qin Feng's right eye surged.

"That's because you've never met a real 'Grim Reaper'."

Qin Feng flashed, dodging the countless tentacles, and rushed directly in front of Maroron.

Malorne scoffed, straightening her chest to take the hit. No matter how many times it was smashed, it could instantly regenerate.

Qin Feng pressed his palm against Maron's chest.

This time, he did not use gravity or heat.

Instead, it mobilized the aura of death from between his brows—the abyss of coldness.

"Law stripping: Entropy increase and necrosis."

hum-

An extreme gray chill flowed into Malone's body.

The cells that Maron was preparing to regenerate suddenly... stopped moving.

They were "frozen" in a state of death.

It's not a physical freezing, but a "stopping of change" at the rule level.

Since you want to be reborn, I will deprive you of the right to "change".

"Wha...what?!"

Maroron was horrified to discover that her prized regenerative abilities had failed.

Instead of healing, the wound began to turn gray and rot.

The cold current traveled along its meridians, directly blocking its connection to [Azure Wood Divine Metal].

"No!!! My life force!"

Marloon screamed.

Qin Feng pressed down on its head with his left hand.

"Now, it's time to end it."

He clenched his right fist, and the blazing fire of the great sun erupted.

After losing his regenerative abilities, Malorn's physical body was not much stronger than that of an ordinary Venerable.

boom!
Flames engulfed the hideous fusion.

There is no regeneration, only ashes.

This immortal monster, which had been entrenched in the Seventh Star District for thousands of years, was utterly and irrevocably killed by Qin Feng's "ice and fire restraint".

Qin Feng cleaned up the debris on the ground.

They walked up to the piece of [Creation·Azure Wood Divine Gold] that was entangled with tree roots.

This is an irregular piece of green metal, with a liquid flowing across its surface like jade, exuding a captivating aura of life.

The pollution caused by Malone has already been cleared away by its own purification ability.

"bring it on."

Qin Feng opened his arms.

"Become my flesh and blood."

He did not devour it.

Instead, he directly pressed the divine metal into his dantian area in his abdomen.

That is the source of human life.

Om-! ! !
A burst of green light erupted instantly, turning the entire planet emerald green.

The divine metal transformed into countless green threads, instantly spreading throughout Qin Feng's entire body.

At this moment, Qin Feng felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

His body, which had been tense due to the fusion of the "Prison Suppressing Divine Bone" and the "Undying Crimson Copper", was completely relaxed at this moment.

His muscles began to rebuild.

Each muscle fiber became crystal clear, full of explosive power and resilience.

His skin became smooth and lustrous like jade, yet its defensive capabilities were stronger than the hardest alloy.

Even if you cut off his arm right now, it can grow back in a second.

Even if he only has one cell left, as long as he has enough energy, he can be reborn by dripping blood.

【Creation·Azure Wood Divine Gold】—Refining complete.

Obtained Physique: Undying Divine Body (Beginner).

Qin Feng clenched his fist.

The overwhelming feeling of power made him want to roar.

Bones are indestructible, meridians are unobstructed, the heart beats perpetually, the brain is absolutely calm, and flesh and blood are immortal.

Now, he has already surpassed the so-called "Peak Venerable" simply by virtue of his physical body.

He even felt that he could shatter the barriers of the universe with a single punch.

"But it's not enough."

Qin Feng calmed down.

"Although the physical body is perfect, it is still missing one thing to 'govern' everything."

That is—cause and effect.

"A physical body without cause and effect is merely a powerful empty shell. Only by mastering cause and effect can one remain 'unique' in the past, present, and future."

Just as Qin Feng was pondering.

As his understanding of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) gradually reached perfection, his perception underwent a qualitative leap.

The world before his eyes had changed.

It is no longer a three-dimensional space.

He saw a river.

A mighty, ever-flowing river with no source and no end.

It flows in the void, flows behind matter, flows between the birth, aging, sickness and death of every life.

Time flows.

Downstream of this river, at a vague point.

There is a piece of brass-colored metal that is floating.

It looks ordinary, like a piece of rusty copper.

But all the river water will automatically separate as it flows through it.

It is untouched by cause and effect, and unblemished by the passage of time.

That is the sixth piece of primordial divine gold—[Causality·Mysterious Yellow Copper].
