Chapter 708 - 227: One Man Confronts 800,000 Martial Artists! Qin Feng’s Divine Might! Slaying Yu Hai and Yan Hu, the Hope for a Comeback
Chapter 708: Chapter 227: One Man Confronts 800,000 Martial Artists! Qin Feng’s Divine Might! Slaying Yu Hai and Yan Hu, the Hope for a Comeback
He ran the numbers in his head.
One billion Contribution Points, if exchanged for the absolute best cultivation resources, could raise an ordinary Infinite Sea Martial Artist’s Immortal Tower construction progress to about thirty percent through sheer force.
That was equivalent to the fruits of several decades of his arduous cultivation in the Constant Star Core Area of the Barbaric Beast Graveyard.
’The Betting Order...’
The mandatory wager initiated by Caesar, which had swept across six galaxies, surfaced in Qin Feng’s mind.
The penalty for losing the wager was that every Martial Artist on the losing side would be saddled with a massive debt of one billion Contribution Points.
This debt was like a heavy mountain, pressing down on every survivor’s heart.
Even someone as powerful as Qin Feng felt immense pressure when he saw this number.
’In any case, once I complete this mission, the penalty for losing the Betting Order will be completely cancelled out.’
Qin Feng’s eyes sharpened. ’Regardless, with the barbaric beast fragments, I’ll actually profit from this. Even if we lose the Betting Order, I’ll still come out ahead.’
His mood instantly lightened considerably.
’Hmm... eighteen down. Just two more spots to fill, and the mission will be complete.’
Qin Feng’s gaze swept across the virtual star map on the Compass, his Divine Thought rapidly filtering through countless flashing points of light.
Soon, two names he had deliberately marked jumped out from the complex information, emitting a faint red glow.
Yu Hai.
Yan Hu.
’It’ll be you two, then.’
Qin Feng’s tone was calm, but the killing intent contained within was enough to make the surrounding void freeze.
’Oh? They react pretty quickly. They probably got the news of their comrades’ deaths and figured out I’m coming for them. Now they’re desperately trying to escape.’
On the Compass’s display, the two points of light were not stationary. They were moving across the star map at extremely high speeds, their trajectory heading towards a Constant Star-level resource site. A large number of Martial Artists from the 99th Galaxy were gathered there.
A disdainful sneer appeared on Qin Feng’s face.
Under the lock of the Rebirth Compass, no matter where they fled, they were like fish in a barrel.
This futile struggle would only make their deaths seem all the more laughable.
Besides, in the ninety-ninth galaxy, no one was his match except for Caesar!
He glanced at their coordinates.
’First, slash Yu Hai. Then, kill Yan Hu!’
The moment he made his decision, Qin Feng no longer hesitated in the slightest.
Subspace Teleportation!
HUMMM—
A faint spatial hum sounded.
Qin Feng’s figure completely vanished from the desolate planet, passing through the Subspace Transmission Network.
-----------------
In the vast cosmic void, a majestic ancient tree, impossible to measure by any known scale, stood silently.
It was one of the most famous Constant Star-level Resource Points in this Galaxy Cluster—the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
The existence of this ancient tree defied the scope of common sense.
Its roots plunged deep into the boundless darkness, as if drawing on the primordial power of the entire Cosmos.
The trunk was so thick that several galaxies could moor alongside it, and it was covered in ancient, profound patterns. Each pattern was like a surging, endless River of Laws, deep and unfathomable.
And its canopy, which blotted out the sky and sun, formed a true ’starry sky.’
Countless stars were captured by its branches, hanging like ripe fruits amidst the dense foliage, emitting light that was sometimes scorching, sometimes gentle.
Just a single, seemingly insignificant treetop held a blazing star, with seven or eight planets of varying sizes slowly orbiting it, forming a miniature, yet very real, star system.
The total height of the ancient tree had long surpassed the light-year as a unit of measurement, becoming an eternal and magnificent spectacle in this part of the Cosmos.
Midway up the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s massive trunk, a vast and boundless platform had been carved out by powerful Martial Artists using their Supreme Power.
On the platform, over eight hundred thousand Martial Artists were currently sitting cross-legged. Their auras merged into one, their spiritual Will was highly concentrated, and they collectively bathed in the profound Dao rhythm emanating from the ancient tree, comprehending their own killing techniques.
This place was once the core territory of the 118th Galaxy, but after the Betting Order began, it was conquered with lightning speed by the 99th Galaxy Alliance led by Caesar.
Now, this place had already become the main base for the Martial Artists of the 99th Galaxy.
These proud and arrogant prodigies, after experiencing brutal battles, would invariably return here. They would use the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s miraculous effect of temporarily boosting comprehension to review their combat gains and losses, deduce new Cultivation Techniques and killing moves, and crystallize their practical combat experience into a part of their own strength.
The entire platform square was permeated with a dense, dao-seeking atmosphere, quiet and solemn.
SWISH! SWISH!
Two streaks of light tore through the void, precisely completing their teleportation at the edge of the platform.
The light faded, revealing the somewhat disheveled figures of Yu Hai and Yan Hu.
Seeing the sea of people and the gathering of experts as numerous as clouds before them, the duo’s tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
On this plaza, there were a good seven to eight hundred thousand comrades from the 99th Galaxy, with countless Martial Artists coming and going in an endless stream.
Such a massive force gathered in one place was enough to give anyone a powerful sense of security.
"Hurry!"
Yu Hai lowered his voice, his tone filled with an urgency that allowed no argument. "That Madman has the complete Rebirth Compass! His mission targets must be us! We have to spend all our Contribution Points immediately and exchange them all for life-saving equipment and items!"
