Chapter 693: Chapter 224: A 100-Story Tower, an Asteroid-Sized Savage Beast Fragment, and Astounding Good Fortune
Ten-Complete Hand!
His Mental Power and physical body went all out in that instant!
His body seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole, a greedy vortex of energy!
Just how vast and majestic was the energy contained within an asteroid-sized [Savage Beast Fragment]?
The moment it was drawn out by the Ten-Complete Hand, that torrent of energy surged like a bursting Celestial River from the Cosmos, frantically pouring into his body through his arms!
Multi-tasking!
Qin Feng’s physical body frantically devoured and refined this immense, material energy.
Meanwhile, his mind once again escaped into his personal Subspace Pure Land, deep within the Subspace.
Upon the foundation of the Immortal Tower, the infusion of that incomparably pure energy accelerated the construction speed to an unprecedented, even terrifying, level!
One after another, Brick Stones shimmering with immortal light were rapidly carved, condensed, and stacked by his mental Will!
His Immortal Tower began to frantically grow upward at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Time flew by during this ’closed-door’ session of frenzied absorption.
Inside the star, there was no cycle of day and night, no concept of time.
There was only eternal light and heat, and the unmoving figure of Qin Feng.
One year...
Three years...
Five years...
In the blink of an eye, a full ten years had quietly passed.
...
「Ten years later.」
When Qin Feng extracted the very last wisp of pure energy from the core of the now dim, crack-covered fragment and merged it with his body—
He slowly opened his eyes.
The [Savage Beast Fragment] that was once as large as an asteroid had now completely turned to cosmic dust, silently dissipating in the viscous, fiery light.
"Ten years..."
"I’ve finally finished absorbing and refining this asteroid-sized [Savage Beast Fragment]."
Feeling the terrifying power within him—a power that was easily a hundred times stronger than it had been ten years ago—Qin Feng finally broke into a genuine smile.
His mind sank into his Spirit Realm.
There, in the Subspace Pure Land, a towering ninety-nine-story tower now rose from the ground. It radiated an immortal, divine glow, looking as if it could bring Suppression to the heavens for all eternity!
’I’ve successfully constructed ninety-nine stories of my Indestructible Projection!’
’Ten percent!’
’I’ve finally reached this threshold!’
A ten percent completion of the Indestructible Projection was roughly the power level of the previous Strongest, excluding Caesar.
’And... the Ten-Complete Hand.’
The joy on Qin Feng’s face deepened.
During this decade-long, high-intensity refining process, he hadn’t just been passively circulating this Nourishing Technique.
With every circulation of energy, every nurturing of his Mental Power, and every purification of the Essence of Life, he had been dedicating a part of his mind to meticulously comprehending, silently analyzing, and repeatedly simulating the Ten-Complete Hand’s vast, Cosmos-like data stream.
Perhaps it was because his Mental Power had now reached the realm of the Infinite Sea, making his computational abilities and comprehension far beyond what they once were.
Perhaps it was due to the decade of uninterrupted practice and contemplation.
His Ten-Complete Hand had made a breakthrough.
[Ten-Complete Hand (Uninitiated)]
[Proficiency: 9/10]
’Just a little bit more, and I’ll have successfully initiated it!’
Qin Feng’s eyes filled with anticipation.
The vast data stream held no more secrets from him now.
He had also completely analyzed and committed to memory the numerous, exquisite methods for interconverting Mental Power and life force.
Next would be constant experimentation, application, and practice...
...until quantitative change led to qualitative change, allowing him to cross the threshold into ’Initiation’!
Once successful, his abilities to refine resources, absorb energy, recover from injuries, and nurture his Mental Power would all skyrocket from their current levels, reaching a new height!
’Not bad. This time, I was really lucky.’
Qin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, making a fair assessment of his decade-long secluded training.
He was certain that luck had played a huge part in his immense gains this time.
First, being able to pinpoint an asteroid-sized, undiscovered [Savage Beast Fragment] within this vast, boundless star was a stroke of incredible luck.
Second, during the entire decade of absorption and refinement, no Martial Artists—whether from the five major galaxies or from Galaxy 99—had passed through and disturbed him.
That too was luck.
’The Indestructible Projection is ten percent complete... This means I no longer need to fear most of the top-tier Martial Artists in Galaxy 99, aside from Caesar.’
This was an ironclad habit Qin Feng had cultivated over many years.
Whenever he arrived in a new area or after his strength had a breakthrough, he would always take a moment to calmly re-evaluate his own power.
He would then find a clear and accurate position for his strength within his current environment.
’It’s been over ten years since the great battle began. With their ability to acquire resources, those guys from Galaxy 99 whose Indestructible Projections were already around 10% complete must have also made significant progress in the last decade.’
’I estimate their current progress has likely increased from 10% to somewhere between 12% and 15%.’
’While this cultivation gap exists, it’s no longer a fatal one.’
’I can completely bridge that gap, or even surpass them, with my seventh-level killing technique, the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique, which has reached the realm of Perfection!’
