Chapter 739: Chapter 232: Insta-killing 7 Constant Star Martial Artists! Seizing First Place on the Combat Power Ranking! Eternal Singularity
The vacuum of the cosmos was cold and silent.
This was the edge of Star System 120, a place that should have been an unchanging void, but had now become a gruesome graveyard.
Countless shattered limbs and twisted fragments of power armor mingled with fine cosmic dust, forming a heart-stopping, blood-red star chart.
The wreckage of warships, not yet completely cooled, still silently burned away their last reserves of energy, casting a faint red glow like the final breaths of dying behemoths.
The war had reached its climax not long ago, only to fall into an eerie stalemate.
Hundreds of thousands of Martial Artists were arrayed at opposite ends of the void, forming two distinct factions.
On one side were the Warriors of the "Six Great Star Systems Alliance."
They were fewer in number, but their formation remained disciplined, and every face was etched with the will to fight.
Too much of their comrades’ wreckage floated around them. This sudden skirmish had cost them dearly.
On the other side was the grand army of the "Kapudo-Kale Alliance."
They numbered over three hundred thousand, all of them elites who had stepped into the Infinite Sea Realm. They now surrounded their opponents with the casual yet oppressive air of victors.
And at the forefront of their formation, seven towering figures had become the absolute focus of the battlefield.
These were seven genuine Constant Star Martial Artists.
Behind them, seven Indestructible Projections, each several light-years tall, stretched across the Star River, unleashing a terrifying pressure strong enough to warp light.
A ferocious Fire Dragon; an ancient Bell; a Character Saint Sword; and a massive, archaic cauldron...
The seven Indestructible Projections, each unique in form, all radiated a boundless, magnificent power.
The mere flicker of their phantasmal forms could throw the surrounding Spiritual and Spiritual Energy Fields into chaos, sending a soul-deep tremor through anyone beneath their realm.
It was precisely because of their presence that the Martial Artists of the Six Great Star Systems Alliance were completely suppressed, forced to watch helplessly as their comrades were slaughtered, powerless to turn the tide.
Into this tense, dead silence, where a single spark could ignite a powder keg, Qin Feng’s figure appeared without warning in the center of the battlefield.
He had a straight, tall posture, with black hair, black eyes, and a calm expression.
Yet, upon his arrival, the terrifying pressure emanating from those seven colossal Indestructible Projections was instantly smoothed away as if it had met an invisible barrier.
The suffocating, oppressive feeling that had pervaded the entire battlefield vanished.
At that moment, the gazes of everyone—be they Warriors of the Six Great Star Systems Alliance or invaders from the Kapudo-Kale Alliance—involuntarily converged on this figure.
Time seemed to stand still.
"Boss!"
After a brief moment of silence, a cry of suppressed, overwhelming joy erupted from the ranks of the Six Great Star Systems Alliance.
A Martial Artist clad in heavy power armor and drenched in blood excitedly sent a telepathic message to the figure: "It’s the bastards from the Kapudo-Kale Alliance!
They attacked without a declaration of war, using their Constant Star-level Powerhouses to launch a surprise attack! A lot of our brothers were killed!
Not only that, they’ve also split their forces to camp the star systems behind us. They’re obviously trying to block our respawn points!"
"I know."
Qin Feng nodded slightly. His voice was calm, yet it held a reassuring power.
His gaze swept across the battlefield, taking everything in.
He saw the tragic state of his comrades, and he saw the arrogant, domineering aura of his enemies.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
’The Kapudo-Kale Alliance... the super-alliance ranked third on the Combat Power list?’
’Camping respawn points? That tactic isn’t very useful against the Six Great Star Systems Alliance anymore.’
The members of the Six Great Star Systems Alliance came from different star systems, with their respawn points scattered across the former Star System 99 and Star Systems 115 through 119. But now, the Alliance controlled fifty-one star systems, covering an enormous territory.
The enemy didn’t actually know where all the Alliance members were. If they camped the wrong star system, it would just be a waste of manpower and resources.
’As the tournament passes its halfway point and the major super-alliances rise, the very nature of war is beginning to change.’
’The old model of conquest—steamrolling one star system after another—will become increasingly difficult due to the formation of "strategic depth."’
’Once an opposing alliance’s territory is vast enough, it becomes nearly impossible to figure out which star system their Martial Artists will respawn in, rendering the camping strategy completely ineffective.’
’At that point, war will devolve into an endless tug-of-war, a war of attrition.’
’No one will be able to completely eliminate their opponent in a short period.’
’The only way to break this deadlock is to launch the largest-scale war of expansion possible, at the fastest possible speed, before everyone can fully establish this kind of immense strategic depth!’
’Swallow and digest all the star systems that haven’t yet formed large alliances, as well as the weaker, smaller alliances!’
’Seize territory, seize populations, seize resources!’
’The era of big fish eating small fish has arrived ahead of schedule.’
Just as Qin Feng’s thoughts were racing, the leader among the seven Constant Star-level Powerhouses on the opposing side spoke.
His Indestructible Projection was the ferocious Fire Dragon, ten light-years tall and the most solid-looking of the seven.
His voice echoed through the vacuum via Mental Power.
"Qin Feng? The former number two on the Combat Power list?"
His gaze was locked onto Qin Feng, full of vigilance.
"I represent the two leaders of our alliance, ’Kapudo’ and ’Kaler,’ in extending an invitation to you."
He paused, as if savoring the shock Qin Feng might feel, before continuing in a deep voice, "Our leader, Kapudo, is ranked seventh on the Combat Power list. Our other leader, Kaler, is ranked ninth.
