Chapter 680: Chapter 222: Barbaric Beast Graveyard, Wagering Agreement, a Shortcut to the Stellar-Class! Caesar

Any Martial Artist below the Infinite Sea realm would likely have their very thoughts frozen by their terrifying Spiritual Fields if they got too close.

They were the three strongest experts of Galaxy 118, three genuine prodigies of the Infinite Sea realm—Zhou Li, Li Yinghong, and Chu Yunxiao.

Qin Feng had already learned their names from forum posts before he arrived.

With their absolute power, they had sealed off the entire entrance to the Barbaric Beast Graveyard.

Any Martial Artist not from Galaxy 118 who tried to approach would immediately face a devastating, concentrated assault from the three of them and the million-strong army behind them.

However, that wasn’t the full extent of the stalemate.

In the few dozen seconds Qin Feng spent calmly observing, he personally witnessed the true nature of this strange stalemate.

An expert from Galaxy 119, whose power armor was exceptionally ornate, radiated Mental Power fluctuations that had also reached the Infinite Sea realm.

He was clearly extremely confident in his own strength, perhaps believing that the trio from Galaxy 118 wouldn’t dare offend all the outsiders at once. He chose an exceptionally clever angle, transforming into a streak of light and attempting to force his way into the star.

The instant his body erupted with power and was about to cross that invisible boundary—

A sudden change occurred!

It wasn’t just the three experts from Galaxy 118 who attacked!

HUMMM—!

From the Galaxy 115 faction, a Martial Artist who had also reached the Infinite Sea realm swung a giant hammer, ruthlessly smashing it toward the charging expert.

From the direction of Galaxy 116, a female expert snorted coldly as a beam of ice-blue Sword Qi pierced through the void.

Even from within the Galaxy 119 faction itself, two auras no weaker than the charger’s erupted, mercilessly attacking one of their own!

Several terrifying attacks, each capable of easily tearing apart stars and annihilating fleets, converged on a single point from all directions at the same instant.

The confidence and arrogance on the face of the Infinite Sea expert from Galaxy 119 who had tried to break the balance instantly froze, replaced by endless horror and despair.

Under the combined assault of several experts of the same level, he was instantly crushed and vaporized, like a bubble in the sun.

Killed in an instant!

With the expert’s death, the scene fell utterly silent.

It was a heart-pounding, deathly silence.

Qin Feng’s eyes remained calm, but inwardly, he had gained a crystal-clear understanding of the situation.

’This is a bizarre, yet incredibly stable, balance.’

’The people from Galaxy 118 want to monopolize this immense opportunity, but they don’t have the strength to fight a coalition of all the experts from the other four galaxies.’

’And the outsiders from the other four galaxies are wary of each other. No one wants to see someone else get a step ahead and seize this opportunity that could let them ascend to the heavens in a single bound.’

’So, they’ve spontaneously formed a tacit understanding:’

’Whoever tries to take it all for themselves becomes everyone’s enemy!’

’Whoever tries to break the balance will be the first to die!’

Qin Feng silently assessed his own strength.

’My Mental Power has just entered the Infinite Sea realm.’

’The construction of my Indestructible Projection is only at three Brick Stones. I’ve barely just begun.’

’In a situation like this, surrounded by several, perhaps even more than a dozen, experts of the same level, not to mention millions of genius Martial Artists watching like hungry tigers, charging in recklessly would only lead to the same fate as that unlucky bastard who was turned to ash just now.’

Without the slightest hesitation, he retracted all of his aura, adjusted his power armor’s energy output to the lowest alert level, and silently merged into the vast crowd from Galaxy 117 behind him, like a drop of water into the ocean.

Qin Feng chose the safest method—retreating behind the crowd.

...

In the standoff, time lost all meaning.

Like a silent reef, Qin Feng calmly observed the stalemate.

The first few days were a peak period for probing and conflict.

There were always Martial Artists, either overconfident in their strength or driven by wishful thinking, who tried to imitate the first one who fell, launching attacks from all sorts of clever angles.

But without exception, they were all immediately met with a joint assault from multiple experts of the same level, coming from all directions.

The tacit understanding was cold and efficient.

After the number of fallen Infinite Sea prodigies surpassed double digits, everyone finally accepted reality.

Charging in recklessly was a dead end.

And so, the negotiations began.

Over the next few months, this patch of vacuum, bathed in the dark red light of the giant star, turned into the Cosmos’s most high-end flea market.

All sorts of inconceivable proposals were put on the table by one ambitious expert after another.

The first mainstream proposal was put forward by the local experts of Galaxy 118. It was simple and crude: "Divide the area by galaxy."

"This place is the territory of our Galaxy 118, and we were the first to discover the Barbaric Beast Graveyard."

An expert with an aura similar to Zhou Li and the others, clearly the fourth-ranked figure in Galaxy 118, stepped out from the crowd. His voice, transmitted via Mental Power, spread throughout the area. "It is only right and proper that we occupy fifty percent of the core area. As for the remaining fifty percent, you four parties can negotiate the distribution among yourselves."

These words instantly detonated the long-simmering powder keg.

"What a joke!"

In the Galaxy 115 faction, a burly man holding a giant axe roared, "Cosmic opportunities belong to the capable! Since when do you get to divide the spoils just because you found the place?"

"Well said! If we follow that logic, can we declare that wherever we set foot is the territory of our Warband?"

A female expert from Galaxy 119 spoke with words full of ridicule.
