Chapter 694: Chapter 224: A 100-Story Tower! An Asteroid-Sized Savage Beast Fragment! Heaven-Shaking Good Luck
Confidence glinted in Qin Feng’s eyes.
’The conclusion is...’
’As long as I don’t run into that unfathomable monster, Caesar, no one in this Barbaric Beast Graveyard can kill me.’
A poor understanding of one’s own strength and standing is a fatal flaw for a Martial Artist.
Either they overestimate themselves, act recklessly, and meet a violent end...
...or they underestimate themselves, become timid, and miss crucial opportunities.
This was an excellent habit of Qin Feng’s.
Having set a clear tone for his future actions, Qin Feng didn’t linger.
He composed himself, concealing the majestic hundred-story tower deep within the Subspace of his Spirit Realm. Once again, he transformed into an unremarkable streak of light and pressed onward.
This time, his mindset was completely different.
It was no longer just about hiding and searching.
Instead, his cautious exploration was now tinged with the scrutinizing gaze of a Hunter.
A dozen or so days later, just as he predicted, this region was no longer his own private paradise.
In the distance, sporadic and fleeting Energy Fluctuations began to appear.
Even farther away, there was the residual chaotic aura from a clash of laws, not yet fully dissipated.
Occasionally, his Divine Thought would even catch fragments of power armor, destroyed by the aftershocks of battle and left drifting in the stellar flares.
The Martial Artists had gradually made their way here.
’I was really lucky.’
Qin Feng halted in the shadow of a Meteorite Belt. Gazing at the distant traces of a recently concluded battle, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
’Really lucky. If I’d finished my absorption a few months later, other Martial Artists would have found me.’
After that brief moment of reflection, he pressed on without pausing.
Several days later, Qin Feng sensed a fierce battle from afar.
On one side were three Martial Artists from star system #118, formed up in a Battle Array and struggling to hold their ground.
Their opponent was a single, peak River Realm expert from star system #99, his aura wild and violent.
The Martial Artist from star system #99 was immensely powerful. Even fighting one against three, he firmly held the upper hand. It was clear that before long, he would cut down all three of them.
Like a phantom in the night, Qin Feng’s figure appeared silently on the battlefield’s flank.
He hadn’t alerted anyone.
It was not until the moment the Martial Artist from star system #99 cleaved through one of his opponents’ defenses and was about to deliver the killing blow—
Qin Feng moved.
One thrust—*Heaven-swallowing*!
Holding nothing back, the terrifying spear intent—powerful enough to devour both light and darkness—instantly enveloped the Martial Artist from star system #99.
"Who?!"
The Martial Artist whipped his head around in horror, only to see a darkness so profound it was absolute.
The next instant, his body, along with the look of horror on his face, was utterly torn apart and annihilated by the irresistible Devouring Power.
A single strike, an instant kill!
The three surviving Martial Artists from star system #118 hadn’t even gotten a clear look at their savior. All they felt was the sudden disappearance of the lethal pressure.
By the time they came to their senses, all that remained on the battlefield was the lingering Energy Aftermath from their exploded foe.
As for Qin Feng, his deed done, he had already vanished into the deeper regions of the star.
Similar scenes played out repeatedly in the days that followed.
Whenever he came across a battle between Martial Artists from the Five Great Star Systems and those from star system #99, Qin Feng would become an Assassin in the shadows. He would strike without hesitation, dispatching the Martial Artists from #99 with precision and efficiency.
If he encountered a lone Martial Artist from star system #99, Qin Feng would show no mercy, striking them down on the spot with lightning speed.
With his terrifying power—his Indestructible Projection now 10% complete—the might of his seventh-level killing art, the Heaven-swallowing Fist Technique, was unleashed to an unimaginable degree when he went all out.
Even an expert who had just entered the Infinite Sea Realm couldn’t survive his sudden assaults long enough to struggle for even a single instant—not even long enough to send a message.
As for the Martial Artists from the Five Great Star Systems, Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered with them as long as there was no direct conflict over Barbaric Beast Fragments.
Qin Feng was like a solitary, silent Cleaner, quietly reaping enemy lives across the vast battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, a whole year passed.
Over the past year, through hunting and searching, Qin Feng had harvested a considerable number of Barbaric Beast Fragments.
While he never again stumbled upon the heaven-sent fortune of an asteroid-sized find, the smaller gains accumulated, allowing him to add another level to his Immortal Tower!
The total number of floors reached a full one hundred!
...
While hunting and cultivating, Qin Feng continued his unhurried exploration toward the star’s core.
One day, as he passed through a zone of exceptionally violent solar flares, his Mental Power suddenly detected the fluctuations of an incredibly brutal battle!
The fluctuations originated from hundreds of thousands of miles away.
But their intensity and terrifying ferocity made Qin Feng stop in his tracks, his expression turning incredibly grave.
His Mental Power, like an invisible, slender thread, cautiously extended towards the source of the fluctuations.
The next second, the image of an utterly brutal battlefield appeared in his mind!
Nearly twenty figures were locked in a desperate struggle, like cornered beasts with no path of retreat!
On one side were several faces that were incredibly familiar to Qin Feng.
Flame Crow, Cang, Leng Yu, Mobi!
These four former top prodigies of star system #117 were all there!
Beside them were a dozen or so other experts at the Infinite Sea level, their auras just as powerful. They hailed from different Warbands across the Five Great Star Systems, but were now forced to band together to resist... a single enemy!
They had only one enemy!
He was a Martial Artist from star system #99, clad in dark gold power armor and wielding a menacing great-axe!
His aura was abyssal, suffocating. Every swing of his great-axe seemed to tear space itself asunder!
’Around 12%!’
And its solidity far surpassed that of anyone else present!
In that instant, Qin Feng’s Mental Power made a precise judgment.
—This Martial Artist from star system #99 had reached the terrifying level of a 12% complete Indestructible Projection!
As for Cang, Flame Crow, and the others, they had clearly made significant gains over the past eleven years. They had successfully opened the gate to Subspace and begun constructing their own Indestructible Projections.
Cang, who had made the most progress, was at about 4% completion on his Indestructible Projection.
Flame Crow, Leng Yu, Mobi, and the others were all between 2% and 3%.
Nearly twenty Infinite Sea experts, yet they were all pinned down in this pocket of space by that one man, completely unable to escape!
The very instant Qin Feng’s Mental Power descended upon the battlefield like an invisible observer, analyzing the disparity in strength—something unexpected happened!
On the battlefield, the Martial Artist from star system #99, who was enjoying the slaughter, suddenly froze. His cruel eyes snapped towards Qin Feng’s direction!
At the same time, Cang, deep in his desperate and bitter struggle, also seemed to sense something. His gaze crossed hundreds of thousands of miles of stellar flares, colliding precisely with Qin Feng’s own "line of sight"!
Qin Feng’s Mental Power had found them!
And they had discovered Qin Feng!
