Chapter 698: Chapter 225: Deep into the Core Zone! Reaching 40% Construction Degree! Encountering Caesar! The Same Kind of Person
’If even one more person had shown up, I would’ve been completely surrounded. I could only have watched as more and more of their reinforcements arrived.’
’This time, I managed to snatch a sliver of a chance to survive at the very limit.’
Qin Feng sighed to himself but didn’t pause for a moment.
Forcing his severely injured body onward, he swallowed a few fist-sized Barbaric Beast Fragments he had collected earlier. He recovered from his injuries as he continued to fly falteringly toward the star’s interior.
The reason Qin Feng kept pushing deeper was twofold. First, the closer he got to the core, the more chaotic the Spiritual and Spiritual Energy Fields within the star became, and the pressure grew more terrifying.
Only in such a high-pressure environment was it possible for larger, more complete Barbaric Beast Fragments to form.
The second, more important reason was that the environment in the star’s core was so hostile that it posed a lethal threat even to experts with highly constructed Indestructible Projections.
Not even Caesar would dare to recklessly pursue him at top speed in such a chaotic, high-pressure field.
It was his only way out.

A pinned post with a bright red title was being flooded with tens of thousands of replies per minute.
[Topic: Barbaric Beast Graveyard - Hunting the Infinite Sea Experts of the Five Major Galaxies (Live Battle Report Updates)]
Below the post, a torrent of comments scrolled by.
"Latest news: someone from the Five Major Galaxies has appeared with a 10% constructed Indestructible Projection."
"What’s going on? I thought their Infinite Sea cultivators only averaged around 3% construction? Where did this 10% guy suddenly come from?"
"Identity confirmed. He’s number one on both the Combat Power and point rankings for Galaxy No. 117. Name’s Qin Feng, inheritor of the Heaven-Devouring King’s legacy."
"Perfection in killing techniques? His Combat Power is insane."
"Yeah, he already killed Yan Hu. A 10% construction killed the 12% Yan Hu, and he did it while being ganged up on by three people. His strength is terrifying."
The appearance of this reply instantly plunged the entire thread into a brief silence.
It was followed by an even more ferocious explosion of activity!
"Are you kidding me?! Yan Hu was one of the top ten powerhouses in our galaxy! Losing a 1v1 is one thing, but three people ganged up on one guy and one of them got killed instead?"
"This Qin Feng... Is he a monster?"
"The Heaven-Devouring King’s legacy, the state of ’Perfection’... That would indeed qualify him to kill someone a level above him."
Just as everyone was heatedly discussing, an ID glowing with golden light and holding the highest privileges appeared below.
It was Caesar.
His comment instantly silenced all other discussion.
"Qin Feng is the one from the Five Major Galaxies most likely to ruin our plans. He must be killed quickly and driven out of the Barbaric Beast Graveyard."
"He’s smart. He’s frantically pushing into the core region, trying to use its high-pressure field to make it difficult for us to attack. Everyone, head into the core. We must find him within a year."
"I’m in the core region myself. If you find any sign of him, I’ll head over immediately. As long as he gets greedy for fragments, I can kill him."
...
The following year was the most dangerous and the longest Qin Feng had experienced since entering the Cosmic Genius Battle.
The Heaven and Earth Net, personally ordered by Caesar to cover the entire interior of the star, was even tighter and more lethal than he had imagined.
He was like a lone skiff in a stormy sea, struggling to survive amidst endless flames and pursuit.
On several occasions, Qin Feng was surrounded by more than five Indestructible Projection experts and forced into desperate situations.
Each time, at the terrible cost of adding new injuries to old ones, he used the chaotic Stellar Field to tear open a tiny gap and narrowly escape with his life.
Qin Feng was also once locked onto by a long-range attack from the outskirts of the core region, suspected to have been launched by Caesar himself.
The mere aura of that attack made every bone in his body scream. If he hadn’t acted decisively and dived into a massive, collapsing energy vortex, he probably would have been vaporized on the spot.
But the price was his physical body nearly disintegrating, both of his legs vaporized by the force field.
Fortunately, thanks to the Ten-Complete Hand, Qin Feng’s recovery speed was astonishingly fast, and even his severed limbs regenerated quickly.
Danger lurked at every turn.
Every escape felt like slipping through the fingers of the Death God.
But in the end, he endured.
On the final day of that one-year period, bathed in his own blood and with his power armor almost completely disintegrated, he dragged his broken body and smashed headfirst into the Force Field Barrier of the innermost core region—a barrier that separated the inside from the out like a celestial chasm!
VMMMM—!
The moment he passed through the barrier, Qin Feng felt the entire world fall silent.
The frenzied aura of pursuit behind him was completely cut off.
Before him lay a world of even deeper and more viscous dark red.
Here, the Spiritual Energy and Mental Power were so dense they had nearly liquefied, forming countless slowly flowing, magnificent yet deadly undercurrents.
He was safe, for now.
The nerves that had been stretched taut for a year finally slackened for a moment.
He knew very well that in a place like the core region, any large-scale mobilization of energy would trigger a catastrophic chain reaction.
His pursuers would never dare to use powerful offensive techniques as recklessly here as they did outside.
Doing so would only cause the already-fragile balance of the surrounding force fields to instantly collapse, becoming a threat more terrifying than any enemy and ultimately leading to their own demise.
Qin Feng didn’t rush to heal his wounds. Instead, he immediately sent out his remaining Mental Power like a fine spider’s web, vigilantly probing his surroundings.
