Chapter 759: Chapter 235: 700,000 Light-Year Indestructible Projection, the Difference Between Subspace and Reality! Encountering the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride
Qin Feng muttered to himself.
After reviewing the shocking battle reports and elimination data on the war zone’s private forum, an invisible pressure quietly settled over Qin Feng’s heart.
His goal wasn’t simply to survive this Cosmic Genius Battle.
It was to seize a spot in the top one hundred and obtain the precious qualification to enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, to build the foundation for the Eternal Singularity, and even... to stand out among the hundreds of millions of geniuses and ascend to that one and only, supreme throne of first place!
But now, the shockingly, almost terrifyingly high elimination rate for Martial Artists, along with the "Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride" manhunt rules that hung like a sword of Damocles over the top contenders, made Qin Feng acutely aware that this Cosmic Genius Battle was far more brutal and complex than he had ever imagined.
He began to re-evaluate the entire competition’s progression.
’The competition was calm and uneventful before. During the first five hundred years, in the planetary-level free-for-all, not even a tenth of the Martial Artists were eliminated.’
’Thinking back on it now, that wasn’t a real ’competition’ at all. It was a ’greenhouse’ intentionally created by the organizers.’
’They were giving us prodigies from the various Star Realms a chance to grow, develop in peace, and seize vast amounts of resources.’
’And while the ’Star System Alliance Hegemony’ between the five-hundred and seven-hundred-year marks led to the elimination of many Martial Artists, that wasn’t really the organizers’ intention either.’
’After all, every single person who passed through the layers of selection to stand here is a top-tier genius chosen from hundreds of millions of star systems—the future hope of the Human Race.’
’The organizers didn’t want to see them get easily eliminated within just a few years or decades after entering the war zone.’
’So, all the stages before the seven-hundred-year mark can be considered ’development time’ granted to us contestants by the organizers. The core purpose was focused on ’nurturing’ these prodigies.’
’And now...’
’The true challenges, dangers, and difficulties of this competition are only just beginning to surface!’
’This endless Mechanical Race is probably just the beginning.’
’The path ahead is destined to be fraught with hardship.’
’Only by being cautious in all things and doing everything I can to increase my strength will I have a chance to be the last one standing.’
Qin Feng’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift toward the vague and uncertain future.
’The top one hundred in the competition will be given a choice to head to the real Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races ahead of schedule.’
’Unlike the Warband Warriors who are sent there passively on missions, we prodigies selected through the competition will get to enjoy a large number of extremely precious Resource Points that have been pre-marked by the Human Race’s upper echelons.’
’But opportunities often come with fatal dangers.’
’Those Resource Points are bound to have unknown terrors lurking within them.’
’So, this war zone is testing us Martial Artists in every conceivable way.’
’The speed of cultivation, one’s comprehension of killing techniques, the ability to adapt to sudden situations, the observation and judgment of the entire battlefield, and... the strength to go head-to-head with the true Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride on the front lines...’
’And, according to my previous speculations, something like the Chaos Chosen One might actually appear after the Mechanical Race...’
’...’
Thinking of this, Qin Feng slowly took a deep breath, suppressing all the tumultuous emotions churning within him and regaining his unruffled calm.
No matter what the future held, what mattered most right now was his own strength.
With a thought, he sank his consciousness into his sea of knowledge and looked at his attribute panel.
During the ten years he spent hunting the Mechanical Race, he had been operating the Ten-Complete Hand almost nonstop to refine Machine Soul Cores.
This continuous, high-intensity use had also led to another significant increase in his proficiency with this Supreme Nourishing Technique.
[Ten-Complete Hand (Elementary)]
[Proficiency: 30/100]
’After reaching the elementary stage of the Ten-Complete Hand, my cultivation speed and the speed at which I refine resources have both increased drastically.’
’It also accelerates the recovery speed of my Indestructible Projection after it’s damaged, which will be a huge advantage in the high-intensity battles to come.’
’However, its powerful healing effects aren’t really of much use for now, not while I’m within Human Race territory.’
’Besides the progress with the Ten-Complete Hand, my core killing technique, Vast Mountain Range, has also naturally broken through to the ’Great Accomplishment’ stage through countless practical applications and insights.’
’Add to that my current cultivation base of a seven-hundred-thousand-light-year Indestructible Projection...’
’My overall Combat Power should still be firmly in the first tier of the entire competition. As for whether I’m still the strongest, that’s hard to say.’
’After all, no Star System Alliance that managed to survive the Mechanical Race invasion that swept through all the star systems is weak.’
A flicker of emotion passed through Qin Feng’s eyes.
’However, it’s still too early to say they’ve ’survived’.’
’How long they can hold on in this steel calamity is still an unknown.’
He himself knew this best.
He and Caesar had spent a full ten years just to stabilize their core base of operations across six star systems.
But among the three hundred star systems their alliance occupied, the remaining two hundred and ninety-four had been left to fend for themselves for the past ten years.
Now, to what terrifying extent had the Mechanical Race in those star systems developed?
