Chapter 734: Chapter 231: The Qin Feng-Caesar Alliance, A Century Passes! Qin Feng Strikes! Initial Mastery of the Level 8 Killing Technique
On his Identity Jade Token, a brand new system announcement from the competition officials had appeared.
[The competition is now past its halfway point. The appearance rate of High-Level Resource Origins will increase significantly!]
[Effective immediately, all barriers between star systems will completely disappear!]
[The "Grand War Zone Public Forum" is now open!]
[Effective immediately, the passive search range of the Identity Jade Token is increased to a 1,000 light-year radius!]
Qin Feng immediately shifted his attention to his private forum interface.
He discovered that in addition to the private channel exclusive to their Six Great Star Systems Alliance, a brand-new public forum had appeared.
The forum was called the "Grand War Zone Public Forum."
He clicked on it and saw that it was already bustling with activity. Countless posts were furiously refreshing at a dizzying speed.
[Important Notice! The competition has officially entered its white-hot stage!]
[According to preliminary statistics, over one hundred Constant Star Martial Artists have emerged across the Grand War Zone! Their power is terrifying; in a battle to the end, they are nearly unkillable!]
[Warning! The resources of a single star system are no longer enough for a Constant Star-level Powerhouse to cultivate! Every Constant Star Martial Artist must conquer other territories and control the vast resources of several star systems to have any hope of advancing further!]
[The era of the "Star System Alliance" has arrived!]
[SHOCKING! According to an insider source, a super-alliance that rules over more than a dozen star systems has already appeared somewhere in the Grand War Zone! And rumor has it, they accomplished this feat a century ago!]
[Official News! The frequency and total volume of resource output in all Star Realms are steadily increasing! The average resource output of each star system has nearly doubled since the start of the competition! But for a Constant Star-level Powerhouse, the resources of a single star system are still insufficient!]
[...]
Post after post, each filled with explosive information, scrolled past Qin Feng’s eyes.
Through these posts, Qin Feng gained a preliminary understanding of the tumultuous changes that had swept across the Grand War Zone over the past hundred years.
The five-hundred-year mark, the halfway point of the competition, had indeed triggered a drastic change in the ruleset.
The official announcement directly declared that the entire competition had officially entered its white-hot stage.
At the same time, Constant Star Martial Artists had sprung up like mushrooms, with over a hundred of them now in existence.
The intensity of competition throughout the Grand War Zone had leaped to a whole new level.
Of course, many of them were newly promoted Constant Star Martial Artists. Compared to Qin Feng, the gap in their strength was as wide as the heavens and the earth.
Qin Feng took another look at the alliance’s resource bank.
He discovered that while he had been in seclusion, Caesar had not been idle.
Caesar had systematically cataloged and managed all the new Resource Points that had appeared within the dozen or so star systems under their control, incorporating them into the battle-merit redemption system.
These appearances were truly new, not like before when the Jade Token’s detection permissions were simply expanded. These were resources that had materialized out of thin air.
Qin Feng also noticed that the alliance members’ battle-merit accounts were almost completely depleted.
Clearly, a century of peaceful development had left everyone’s pockets empty. They were in desperate need of a new war to refill their coffers.
Just then, a message from Caesar popped up.
"Qin Feng, are you out of seclusion?"
"I just came out."
Qin Feng replied immediately.
"Good."
Caesar quickly replied, "You should go check on your reward from the Betting Order now, the top-tier Constant Star-level Resource Point.
If it’s a critical, one-time-use resource that provides a massive, immediate boost to your Combat Power, then you should continue your seclusion and not waste time.
I’m more than capable of leading the upcoming campaigns on my own for the time being."
"But if it’s a resource point that provides a steady, long-term yield, then we must launch a new campaign immediately.
Everyone in the alliance has used up their battle merits, and we need a new victory to raise spirits."
"Alright, I understand.
I’ll head over to check it out now."
Qin Feng glanced at the specially marked coordinates for the top-tier Constant Star-level Resource Point on his Identity Jade Token, activated Subspace Teleportation, and vanished from the ice cave in an instant.
As the light of the Subspace Teleportation faded, Qin Feng’s figure appeared in the uncharted region indicated by the coordinates on his Identity Jade Token.
The sight before him made him pause.
There was no cosmic marvel overflowing with immense energy as he had imagined, nor was there any sign of Celestial and Earthly Treasures.
What greeted his eyes was a vast and deathly silent void.
Within this void stood ancient, towering Stone Steles, each carved from some unknown black rock.
The Stone Steles were countless and densely packed, forming a vast "forest of steles."
Each Stone Stele was engraved with incomparably profound and intricate patterns, suffused with the True Intent of the Great Dao and exuding an ancient, powerful aura.
This was a grove of Inheritance Stone Steles!
Qin Feng’s Mental Power, like an invisible tide, instantly swept across the entire forest of steles.
