Chapter 786: Chapter 239: The 100-Story Golden Pagoda! Qin Feng Emerges! Number One in Combat Power of the Great War Zone! An Unrivaled Lead
Dozens of Martial Artists scrambled in a chaotic brawl, all vying for a single, high-quality flower. The brilliant light of their various Indestructible Projections clashed and crisscrossed, and the aftershocks of energy explosions tore fissures in the surrounding space.
Chaos was the only theme here.
Qin Feng and Caesar paid it no mind. With a single movement, they transformed into two inconspicuous streaks of light, charging straight into the chaotic battlefield to join the frenzied scramble.
WHOOSH—
Qin Feng’s Body Technique was unbelievably fast.
He didn’t rush headlong toward a flower the moment he saw one, as the others did. Instead, he sent his Mental Power out ahead of him, instantly blanketing a vast area.
While the others were still searching for targets with their naked eyes and conventional Divine Thought, he had already used his formidable Mental Power to precisely calculate dozens of optimal harvesting routes.
His figure traced sublime, untraceable arcs through the void. With every flicker, he precisely evaded the aftershocks of several battles, materializing beside an Iron Tree Flower that was either uncontested or only lightly contested.
With a gentle sweep of his Mental Power, the flower, rich with immense energy, vanished from its spot and was tucked away into his possession.
In the span of just a few breaths, while most of the surrounding Martial Artists were still fighting tooth and nail over their first flower, Qin Feng had already silently gathered more than a dozen Iron Tree Flowers.
In this chaotic ’hive,’ such extraordinary efficiency was like a beacon in the dead of night, instantly drawing the attention of many observant individuals.
Finally, several streaks of light, shimmering with malicious intent, flashed toward him from different directions.
They formed an encirclement, cutting off Qin Feng’s path in mid-air.
The light dissipated, revealing three figures with powerful auras before Qin Feng.
The man in the lead wore a suit of streamlined blue power armor, its surface inscribed with intricate Thunder Patterns from which fine arcs of electricity occasionally leaped and sparked.
He wielded a Long Spear likewise wreathed in lightning, his gaze sharp. It was Lei Zhan, whom Qin Feng had met once before at the "Eye of the Chaos Chosen of Tzeentch" Resource Point.
Of the other two, one was burly and wielded a massive Trident. The faint Indestructible Projection behind him was an immensely magnified "Holy Trident" that looked as if it could stir the Star Sea itself.
Judging by his attire and weapon style, he was likely from the Deep Sea Warband, a well-known group within the greater warzone.
The other man had a ghostly figure, shrouded in black robes, his aura murky and indistinct.
His Indestructible Projection was the most peculiar of all: a "Shadow Crown" that was pitch-black, as if forged from pure shadow.
This crown floated silently above his head, emitting waves that distorted light and concealed his aura, clearly granting him extreme speed and mobility.
These two were Independent Martial Artists who had chosen to abandon their alliances and survive on their own after the elimination mission was announced.
As for Lei Zhan, he was a leader-class Martial Artist who had once founded a sizable Star System Alliance, only to later betray it.
At this moment, the three experts surrounded Qin Feng, their eyes fixed on the Iron Tree Flowers he had just harvested, their greed on full display.
"Hand over all the Iron Tree Flowers you’ve picked, then scram. We might let you live!"
The Martial Artist from the Deep Sea Warband spoke first, his voice icy.
His Trident pointed diagonally at Qin Feng, the cold glint of its tip flickering menacingly.
"Why waste your breath on him?
Just kill him! Everything he has will be ours!"
The Martial Artist from the Black Shadow Warband was clearly more direct and brutal.
Before his words had even faded, the Shadow Crown floating behind him flared with light. His figure instantly became a nearly imperceptible black line as he wielded a black Long Saber, silently executing a Slash toward Qin Feng’s neck from an incredibly tricky angle.
The trajectory of his slash was so bizarre, as if it had merged with the very shadows of space, that even Qin Feng’s powerful Mental Power could only barely catch a faint, blurry afterimage.
At the same time, the Deep Sea Warband Martial Artist also attacked fiercely.
He let out a roar, and the giant "Holy Trident" projection behind him instantly solidified.
As he thrust his Battle Halberd, an immense, boundless aura surged forward, as if to drown an entire star system.
Phantoms of overlapping ocean waves appeared at the tip of the halberd, aimed straight at Qin Feng’s chest.
Their attacks were perfectly coordinated. One was stealthy and bizarre, the other fierce and unmatched, instantly cutting off all of Qin Feng’s escape routes.
However, the moment they launched their thunderous assault, something completely unexpected happened.
Lei Zhan, the one who had initiated the interception, turned without hesitation the instant they attacked, transforming into a blinding bolt of lightning and fleeing for his life without a second glance!
"Hm?"
A flicker of doubt crossed the minds of the two attackers, but their assault was already underway, leaving no time for second thoughts.
But Qin Feng, facing the attacks head-on, showed no sign of panic.
’This shadow’s saber technique must be using the properties of its Indestructible Projection to block Mental Power locks to some extent.
Interesting.’
He even had the leisure to mentally comment on his enemies’ attacks.
The next moment, he finally moved.
He made no move to dodge, simply raising his right hand slowly.
HUMMM—
A simple, unadorned Long Spear, so black it seemed to devour all light, quietly appeared in his palm.
Star-devourer.
With a flick of his wrist, the Long Spear hummed. He then executed an incredibly simple Technique.
[Vast Mountains].
RUMBLE—
There was no earth-shattering explosion of energy, but what happened was far more terrifying.
A phantom tower, a staggering ten million light-years tall and so majestic it defied imagination, suddenly materialized behind Qin Feng!
[Immortal Tower]!
The tower was a translucent, crystalline silver, but its base—a full one hundred floors of it—glowed with a brilliant gold that radiated nobility, eternity, and immortality!
Silver and gold shimmered together as an overwhelming pressure of Mental Power, vast enough to make stars tremble, swept out like a physical tide.
Under this pressure, the shadow Martial Artist’s pride and joy—his stealthy saber technique—instantly melted away like snow under a scorching sun, its every trajectory laid bare.
The Deep Sea Martial Artist’s powerful, wave-like assault was shattered by the sheer pressure of the Mental Power before it could even get close.
Then, guided by Qin Feng’s Will, the overflowing Mental Power rapidly condensed at the tip of his Star-devouring Spear, forming an Ancient Divine Mountain that seemed to have existed since the dawn of the Cosmos!
This Divine Mountain was no mere phantom of energy. Every inch of its "body" flowed with a profound, desolate, and unchanging Martial Dao True Intent!
"What?!"
"G-Golden... Golden Mental Power!!"
