Chapter 688: Chapter 223: Blood Angels Chapter! The 99th Galaxy Sweeps Through! The Terror of the Savage Beast Fragments
"Hahaha! They’re fighting! The battle’s started! This is our chance!"
A River Realm Martial Artist from the 117th Star System didn’t look angry when the fighting broke out—he was ecstatic!
He didn’t charge the enemy. Instead, under the cover of the chaos, he pushed his power armor to its maximum speed. Transforming into a streak of light, he dove from the battlefield’s flank, hurtling straight toward the massive, dark red star!
His actions spoke for at least ninety percent of the "allied" Martial Artists present.
’While the 99th Star System holds everyone else back, let’s hurry in and snatch the [Barbaric Beast Fragments]!’
"Get out of my way!"
A Martial Artist from the 115th Star System was about to breach the star’s surface when he noticed a "compatriot" from the 116th Star System beside him moving even faster.
A vicious gleam flashed in his eyes as he slashed his blade at his "ally’s" back without a moment’s hesitation.
Caught completely by surprise, the Martial Artist from the 116th Star System was severely wounded. His speed faltered, and an instant later, he was swallowed by the torrent of energy from the 99th Star System’s forces behind him, leaving not even a trace behind.
As for the backstabber, he used his ally’s corpse as a stepping stone and became the first to plunge into the star.
Slaughtering each other!
This absurd and bloody scene played out frantically in every corner of the chaotic battlefield.
As for the high and mighty Infinite Sea-level strongmen, the top prodigies who had just been red-faced arguing over leadership, their choices were the ultimate expression of selfishness.
Cang, Flame Crow, Zhou Li, Li Yinghong...
These figures, who stood at the very pinnacle of the Planet-level, didn’t entertain even the slightest thought of resisting when Caesar gave the order to attack.
As one, they instantly transformed into the fastest streaks of light. From all directions—above, below, left, and right—they fled into the star’s depths at speeds far surpassing anyone else.
To them, a head-on confrontation with a monster like Caesar, who clearly had one foot in the Constant Star level, was an act of utter stupidity.
Taking advantage of the chaos, using the precious time bought with the lives of tens of millions of "cannon fodder" to rush into the Barbaric Beast Graveyard, snatch enough [Barbaric Beast Fragments], and advance their own Indestructible Projections past 30%—that was the only correct choice.
The entire battlefield descended into utter chaos.
The Martial Artists of the 99th Star System were in hot pursuit.
The Martial Artists of the five great star systems were scattering in retreat.
And the fleeing Martial Artists were killing each other over the best escape routes.
Countless Martial Artists died not at the hands of the enemy, but from a fatal blow delivered by the "allies" at their backs.
CLANG!
The [Star-devouring Spear] in Qin Feng’s hand jolted, repelling a Martial Artist from the 119th Star System who had tried to ambush him from behind to steal his route.
He didn’t spare the man a second glance.
Before the man was engulfed by the torrent of attacks from the 99th Star System, Qin Feng’s figure had already become a streak of light, following the direction in which Cang and the others had vanished as he plunged headfirst into the massive, dark red star.
...
SSSHH—!
For Qin Feng, with his Planet-level power armor and formidable physique, passing through the star’s Corona Layer—a region hot enough to instantly vaporize any mundane metal—was not difficult.
The scorching streams of energy were deflected by his power armor’s shield, creating a piercing, grating noise.
A few seconds later, the scene before him opened up.
Qin Feng had entered the star’s interior at incredible speed.
This was not the pure sea of fire he had imagined.
The world was primarily composed of a viscous, magma-like substance of light and flame.
But woven between these flames were countless invisible, terrifyingly complex fields of force.
They were death traps, formed over tens of millions of years from the entanglement, collision, and evolution of the star’s own violent Spiritual Energy Fields and the Spiritual Fields emanating from the remains of fallen Starry Sky Giant Beasts.
Some of these fields had stable energy, calm as the deep sea.
Other areas, however, were chaotic and violent, like the most terrifying meat grinders in the Cosmos. If one were to enter by mistake, even a Planet-level Strongman would be instantly ripped apart into elementary particles.
’To explore the star’s interior safely, you’d have to be at least a true Constant Star Martial Artist,’ Qin Feng muttered to himself as he weaved through the gaps in the fields at an incredible speed.
’It’s far too dangerous in here for a Planet-level Martial Artist.’
As he sped along, his Divine Thought had already captured several tragic scenes.
Not far off, a River Realm Martial Artist who had just entered plunged headfirst into a seemingly calm area, his inexperience his undoing.
The next second, the Spiritual Field in that zone erupted, transforming into tens of thousands of invisible blades that, in less than a ten-thousandth of a second, shredded both him and his power armor into a fine mist of ash.
Further away, three Martial Artists, desperately fleeing their pursuers, heedlessly dove into a massive sunspot region that emanated a terrifying gravitational pull.
They were utterly annihilated by the region’s intensely chaotic Mental Power and Energy Fields before they could even scream.
’Exploring carefully, step-by-step, is impossible now.’
’If I’m a step too slow, someone will beat me to it. If I’m a step too fast, I’ll just be a pawn, clearing the path for others.’
’Especially those vultures from the 99th Star System... Besides the unfathomable Caesar, there are several other strongmen whose Indestructible Projections are more than 10% complete. I’m no match for people like that right now.’
As he flew at high speed, Qin Feng’s mind grew preternaturally calm.
’I have to take a gamble.’
’We missed the window to concentrate our resources and push one person straight to the Constant Star level. Now, with the 99th Star System’s army bearing down on us, there’s a ninety percent chance this Betting Order will fail...’
The chaotic, ugly, fratricidal battlefield outside flashed through his mind.
’These vermin... Nothing can be accomplished with a pack of vermin like this.’
A whisper full of disappointment echoed in Qin Feng’s heart.
’I just don’t understand... how did Caesar do it? To become the undisputed leader of all the top prodigies in his star system in less than three hundred years. Even if he used threats and coercion, to unite millions of arrogant, unruly geniuses into such a disciplined force is astounding.’
Qin Feng analyzed the terrifying strength of his enemy while assessing the certainty of his own side’s defeat.
He could already foresee the massive debt of one billion Contribution Points that would soon appear on his account.
But surprisingly, he felt relatively calm.
’An increase in cultivation isn’t just about improving one’s strength...’
’Witnessing this tapestry of human nature, seeing the vast gap between the Caesar Star System and the five great star systems—a difference like steel to mud... this, for me, is also a kind of harvest.’
’The path of the Martial Dao is not just the cultivation of power, but also of the heart.’
’Seeing the ugliness of human nature... this has fortified my Dao Heart more than any number of fragments could. But I have yet to clearly see the true power and qualities that a great leader possesses...’
Qin Feng’s gaze pierced through the layers of flame and chaotic fields, looking toward the deeper reaches of the star.
There, sporadic glimmers of light, as brilliant as stars, had begun to appear.
It was the light of the [Barbaric Beast Fragments]!
’I’ll grab as many Barbaric Beast Fragments as I can.’
’As for the Betting Order...’
’I’ve given up all hope for it.’
Qin Feng sighed.
His Mental Power surged outward like an invisible tide, spreading in all directions with unprecedented intensity. He began to search for Barbaric Beast Fragments, all while evading the terrifying, chaotic fields of force.
