Chapter 614 - 211: First Place, Qin Feng! Taking the Heaven-Devouring King as Master! Reaching the Heavens in a Single Step
Chapter 614: Chapter 211: First Place, Qin Feng! Taking the Heaven-Devouring King as Master! Reaching the Heavens in a Single Step
Just when everyone thought Qin Feng might need to use up all his remaining time to make that final push—
BUZZ!!!
A buzz, grander and more brilliant than any before it, resounded throughout the Cosmos!
At the very top of the Enlightenment Stone Stele, the ninety-ninth trace of Mental Power—representing the ultimate mystery of the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique—was completely illuminated by a blindingly brilliant golden light!
[Qin Feng · This Star Zone]
When these five words were clearly branded atop the Stone Stele, the entire square—and indeed, the countless spectators under the Extreme Warband’s domain—erupted in irrepressible gasps of shock!
Even the top prodigies, whose willpower was as firm as iron, were jolted from their meditative states. They looked up, their eyes filled with utter disbelief and shock as they stared at the solitary name hanging high above everyone else.
For the best among them had already experienced it firsthand.
After comprehending the ninetieth trace, the difficulty of challenging the ninety-first had increased exponentially. It left them with no idea where to even begin, as if they were trying to read a Celestial Book.
They had keenly felt the despair of that insurmountable chasm.
But Qin Feng, in just over a decade, had not only crossed that chasm but had forcefully bulldozed his way through to the very end, fully comprehending the entire fist technique!
"A freak..."
"This... What terrifying comprehension is this?"
"A student from Cannan Star Martial Arts University? When did they produce a monster like this?"
...
Countless gazes filled with shock, awe, and even a hint of jealousy converged on the back of the square.
These gazes were a mixture of amazement, reverence, disbelief, and even a trace of unconcealable envy.
There, Qin Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes lightly closed. Tides of Spiritual Energy flowed around him spontaneously, rising and falling like a vast nebula. His Mental Will was already manifesting outwardly, exuding a terrifying aura capable of Devouring Heaven and Earth.
After successfully comprehending the final secret of the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique, he did not stop his cultivation.
In fact, Qin Feng didn’t even open his eyes.
To him, the Inheritance Stone Stele had already lost its value as a whetstone.
But the hundred-year assessment was not over yet.
Qin Feng split his consciousness in two once more.
One part of his mind sank back into his sea of consciousness. Using the two newly formed "Cups" as his foundation, he tirelessly continued to circulate the Canaan Scripture, honing and accumulating his Mental Power reserves.
The other, larger part of his consciousness plunged directly through the Subspace Network into that virtual world of endless battle and tempering—the Imperial Arena.
In the Rank 9 placement matches of the arena, a figure codenamed "Qin" began to appear frequently.
Battle, lose, review. Battle again, lose again...
Qin Feng was tireless, and he paid no mind to victory or defeat.
His sole purpose was to digest and absorb the Supreme Fist Technique he had just comprehended from the Stone Stele—the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique—through one high-intensity battle after another.
In this state of extreme focus, shutting out the world to concentrate solely on his cultivation, another two years passed by quietly.
It wasn’t until the moment before the Bell, signaling the end of the hundred-year assessment, began to slowly toll throughout the Pillar of Creation that Qin Feng finally awoke from his ninety-nine-year and eleven-month-long deep meditation and slowly opened his eyes.
Qin Feng’s eyes held a depth, tranquility, and vastness like that of the deep Cosmos.
In these final two years, the Mental Power in his sea of consciousness had once again undergone a new transformation.
A third, crystal-clear and flawless "Cup" had quietly formed, joining the previous two to create an even more stable and powerful Mental Power core structure.
And on the personal panel that only he could see, two new lines of data had clearly appeared.
[Killing Techniques:]
[Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique (Initiated)]
[Proficiency: 1/100]
[Nourishing Techniques:]
[Ten-Complete Hand (Uninitiated)]
[Proficiency: 3/10]
Qin Feng’s consciousness quickly reviewed his astonishing gains over the past hundred years.
First, there was the huge breakthrough in his cultivation realm.
His Mental Power had advanced by leaps and bounds, from a mere Three Drops when he first entered the competition to its current state of Three Cups.
This meant the total volume of his Mental Power had reached a terrifying Thirty Thousand Drops!
This was not just an accumulation of quantity, but a qualitative leap.
Each transformation of his Mental Power brought an exponential increase in his thinking speed, learning ability, and the strength with which his mind could influence reality.
It was safe to say that his overall strength had undergone an earth-shattering transformation compared to a hundred years ago.
Second was the continuous strengthening of his physical body.
Over this century, every time he condensed new Mental Power Drops and broke through to a new realm, the immense Mental Power would in turn activate the Psychic Core within him, subjecting his physical body to repeated, deep cleansings and sublimations.
Now, his physical strength, cellular activity, energy capacity—all his various life metrics—had taken a qualitative leap.
Furthermore, there were his immense gains in Killing Techniques.
He had now fully "initiated" the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique, a technique created by a Sealed King Strongman that had reached the pinnacle of a seventh-level killing technique.
