Chapter 718: Chapter 228: Advancement to Stellar Rank! 999-Story Immortal Tower! Duel of Powerhouses! Target: Champion

Not only that, but under the joint initiative of a group of top-tier experts like Cang and Tie Muer, they had even established an efficient yet brutal "Hunting Stage rotation system."

To put it simply, a group of Martial Artists would volunteer to sacrifice themselves. At critical moments, they would intentionally allow themselves to be killed by their side’s core experts who were about to enter the Hunting Stage. This ensured that these powerful combatants could fight without reservation, not having to worry about being eliminated by the enemy while weakened during their Hunting Stage.

These volunteering Martial Artists would then, during their own Hunting Stage, kill each other. This created a sort of "infinite refill" effect, allowing them to avoid ever being truly eliminated from the competition.

Forming such a system, one that required entrusting your back completely to a comrade, demanded an incredible degree of trust and unity!

To be honest, Qin Feng was truly stunned.

From the very beginning, he had never been optimistic about this so-called Five Star System Alliance.

In his eyes, they were nothing more than scattered sand—a disorganized mob brought together only by the Betting Order.

But now, this scattered sand had, for the sake of a common victory, begun to unite!

SWOOSH!

Qin Feng stood quietly in the void.

He had just ascended to the Stellar level, and his surging life force burned as hot as a cosmic sun, forming a brilliant halo around him.

Behind him, the virtual image of the nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-story Immortal Tower stood silently, so condensed it seemed solid. It radiated an aura of immense majesty.

Below, the million Martial Artists gradually quieted down. All eyes converged on him, filled with worry, anticipation, and a hint of guilt—it seemed they were about to place the entire burden on Qin Feng’s shoulders once again.

Sensing their complex gazes, Qin Feng slowly began to speak.

His voice wasn’t loud, but amplified by his Mental Power, it echoed clearly and directly in the heart of every person present.

"I will do my best."

There were no grand declarations, no promises of certain victory.

Just those four simple yet heavy words were like a star being ignited, instantly detonating the passion and fervor suppressed in the hearts of all the Martial Artists from the five star systems!

"Go, Qin Feng!"

"Kill that despicable villain Caesar! We’re all counting on you!"

"Boss Qin Feng! I still have three million Contribution Points. It’s not much, but do you need to buy any single-use Knowledge Creations? Just say the word!"

"Yeah! We can all pitch in! Maybe we can scrape together enough for a single-use, Stellar-level beam weapon! We can just blast that Caesar to death!"

"Kill that bastard."

Countless waves of Mental Power surged toward Qin Feng from all directions, each person’s support sincere and fervent.

They were now a community bound by shared interests.

Qin Feng was speechless in the face of this wave of support.

He simply gave a slight nod in the crowd’s direction.

The next moment, his figure transformed into an invisible ripple and silently merged into the fabric of space, vanishing completely.

-----------------

At the central intersection of the five star systems’ gravitational fields, in a patch of void that had been silent for countless eons, two figures crossed a vast expanse of space and quietly emerged at almost the same instant.

Qin Feng and Caesar.

The two stood thousands of miles apart, facing each other from a distance.

Here, there were no cheers from a million-strong army, nor were there any other spectators.

There was only the two of them and the colorful, mysterious, and bizarre nebula slowly drifting in the background.

The instant they appeared, two completely different yet equally terrifying auras—vast pressures powerful enough to make stars dim—erupted without restraint!

BOOM—!

This was not a physical sound, but the most primal and savage collision between two formless, intangible seas of Mental Power in the vacuum of the cosmos!

With Qin Feng at the center, a silvery-white domain of Mental Power expanded wildly. Within it, the phantom of the towering, nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-story Immortal Tower erupted into view.

Billions of runes flowed across the tower’s body, emitting a profound aura of ancient Suppression capable of grinding all existence to dust. It was as if it sought to turn this corner of the cosmos into an eternal prison!

On the other side, a golden radiance, like the first ray of Holy Light at the dawn of creation, illuminated the entire Star Realm.

Behind Caesar, a pair of incomparably massive wings—the Immortal Holy Feather—slowly unfurled. Each plume seemed to be condensed from the purest of laws.

An aura of divinity, majesty, and judgment over all things transformed into a golden tide, smashing violently against the silvery-white Sea of Spirit!

It was as if two supermassive stars of infinite density had brazenly collided in this confined space!

At the center of their collision, space twisted and buckled with bizarre, water-like ripples. Light was completely devoured, and the laws of reality were thrown into chaos!

Qin Feng was clad in a suit of pure black power armor, wielding the jet-black Star-devouring Spear.

Caesar, in contrast, wore a suit of incomparably magnificent golden Knight’s Heavy Armor. Every joint was adorned with brilliant, pigeon-blood-red gemstones.

In his hand, he held a golden Knight’s Holy Sword, elegant in design yet exuding a sense of power. He looked like an undefeated War God who had stepped right out of a mythological epic.

The auras of the two men clashed madly. Their Indestructible Projections unleashed the terrifying light of their respective domains, locked in a stalemate.

This initial probing clash alone was enough to declare that neither had gained the upper hand.

"Hahahaha—"

A hearty laugh, filled with appreciation, broke the suffocating silence.
