Chapter 699: Chapter 225: Deep into the Core Area, Reaching 40% Construction Degree, Encountering Caesar, The Same Kind of Person
It didn’t take long for him to make a discovery.
Floating within the viscous, radiant undercurrent were fist-sized crystals, each one glowing with a brilliant golden light.
These were higher-quality "Barbaric Beast Fragments."
Just as he expected, the density of the fragments here was several times greater than outside. Moreover, their quality had undergone a world-altering change.
The closer to the core of the star, the greater the pressure from its internal Spiritual Field and Spiritual Energy Field. Naturally, this could compress and refine the carcasses of the Starry Sky Giant Beasts into even higher-grade fragments.
The joy of his harvest did not make Qin Feng let his guard down.
As he cautiously collected the golden fragments, he ran a perfectly calm wargame simulation in his mind, viewing the situation from his enemy’s perspective.
’If I were Caesar...’
’First, my ultimate goal on this trip is to use the resources of the Barbaric Beast Graveyard to advance to the true Constant Star level as quickly as possible.
Therefore, going deep into the core to obtain these highest-quality fragments is my only real choice.’
’Second, I would definitely know about a guy named Qin Feng who not only killed Yan Hu but also possesses a Perfection-level Sealing King inheritance. And his final destination is also the core area.’
’In that case, I would most likely make a precise prediction based on his escape route over the past year and the position where he finally broke through the Force Field Barrier...’
’If he entered nearby, it would be an ambush. If he entered far away, it would be a hunt.’
The result of this simulation sent a cold sweat running down Qin Feng’s back.
He had no doubt about Caesar’s intelligence and decisiveness.
Qin Feng looked at the Barbaric Beast Fragment in his hand but chose not to absorb it on the spot.
He didn’t linger on the outskirts of the core. He even gave up on the easily obtainable golden fragments along the way, instead gritting his teeth and continuing his difficult trek deeper into the spherical core.
「Another month later.」
Qin Feng finally stopped only when the surrounding chaotic force field had reached a terrifying level that made even his heart pound with fear.
The energy undercurrent here was like solidified amber; every movement required an immense amount of strength.
Any stray Energy Fluctuation could trigger a small-scale force field storm.
’I should have completely evaded Caesar now.’
Qin Feng let out a long breath. The great weight that had been hanging over his heart for so long finally lifted.
As it turned out, his judgment had been entirely correct.
「At almost the same time.」
On the Subspace Private Domain Forum for Galaxy #99, in the pinned thread about the Barbaric Beast Graveyard, Caesar’s golden ID posted again.
"Qin Feng is cunning. He wasn’t tempted by the Barbaric Beast Fragments on the outskirts of the core."
This message instantly made the countless Martial Artists from Galaxy #99 who were following the situation sigh with regret.
Immediately after, Caesar issued a second command.
"All units, begin the final, complete extermination of the remaining Infinite Sea-level Martial Artists from the five major galaxies.
Once the purge is complete, immediately shift your focus to the River Realm Martial Artists."
"This mission has a five-year time limit.
Within five years, regardless of how many you have eliminated, you must all leave the Barbaric Beast Graveyard, travel to the locations of the other Constant Star-level Resources in the five major galaxies, and begin comprehensive interference and suppression."
Caesar’s commands were clear, decisive, and left no room for doubt.
...
In the core area, at the center of a massive and terrifying energy vortex.
A figure sat quietly cross-legged.
He was clad in a suit of streamlined, dark gold power armor, inlaid with dark red accents that resembled burning blood.
His brilliant golden hair remained wild and unrestrained, even under the confines of the power armor. His face was as handsome as the Sun God of myth, yet it radiated a domineering, masculine aura that made it difficult to look at him directly.
It was Caesar.
He seemed completely unaffected by the terrifying environment, which was potent enough to crush stars, and was calmly absorbing a head-sized, incomparably brilliant golden fragment before him.
A light screen floated in front of him.
On the screen was all of Qin Feng’s data, along with several image clips of him taken from the battlefield.
"Oh?"
Suddenly, Caesar’s gaze sharpened.
His eyes quickly locked onto one of the images, specifically on the red-and-white Blood Jade Skull hanging from Qin Feng’s waist.
’Are we the same kind of person?’
A meaningful smile played on Caesar’s lips.
’There’s a high probability.’
’No wonder he’s so difficult to deal with.’
’But no matter how big the star is, the core is only so large. We’re bound to run into each other sooner or later...’
He mused to himself, then casually closed the light screen, shut his eyes, and sank back into his cultivation.
...
Meanwhile, Qin Feng, having completely escaped his pursuer, finally began his own cultivation in this land of treasure.
He carefully extracted a golden Barbaric Beast Fragment from an energy undercurrent.
The fragment was warm to the touch. The Essence of Life and the Spirit Brand contained within were so immense as to be unbelievable.
’The fragments here might not be large, but their quality is truly high.’
Qin Feng activated the Ten-Complete Hand and began to refine it.
Just a moment later, he came to a startling conclusion.
’Absorbing just four or five of these is equivalent to the energy I gained from that planet-sized fragment outside.’
