Chapter 652: Chapter 217: Rank Skyrockets! Top 100 on the Combat Power List! The Shock of Mastering the Sealing King Inheritance

Twenty years of seclusion had increased his comprehensive strength by more than tenfold!

After drawing his conclusions, Qin Feng’s figure flashed, and he reappeared silently on the surface.

He suppressed all of his aura and turned his gaze toward the crater Secret Realm in the distance, which still rippled with spatial distortions.

However, the scene before him made him frown slightly.

Through the perception of his powerful Mental Power, he realized the number of Martial Artists gathered in this area had not decreased with the passage of twenty years. In fact, it had grown even larger.

Countless temporary camps were densely packed around the Secret Realm’s entrance, and one tyrannical aura after another shot into the sky, completely undisguised.

A rough scan revealed that the number of contestants entrenched here had reached over a hundred thousand.

If he included those who had already entered the Secret Realm, the total number would likely be several times higher.

This left Qin Feng deeply puzzled.

’It’s been twenty years, and no one has managed to obtain the Will Core from the Insect Race’s Nest inside? What’s going on?’

His Mental Power swept out like flowing mercury, quickly capturing more information that caught his attention.

Among the Martial Artists who had entered the Secret Realm, he sensed many top-tier powerhouses whose auras were no weaker than Lang Qi’s or Wolf Ten’s back then.

Moreover, these people were not Lone Rangers; they had formed powerful temporary squads and entered together.

’To make so many top-tier prodigies flock to this place, even to the point of joining forces to explore it... this Secret Realm is probably not as simple as it seems.’

At that thought, Qin Feng immediately connected to the Subspace Network and began searching for relevant information on the private forums of Star System 117.

Sure enough, in just a few moments, he found some clues in the seven or eight most popular threads on the forum.

The title of one thread, highlighted in red, was shocking.

[Stunning Reversal! Major Intel Update on the ’Heart of Rot’ Subspace Fragment—The Insect Race Secret Realm!]

Qin Feng immediately clicked on it.

The contents of the thread explained all his doubts in detail.

"...According to a summary of intel gathered by multiple top-tier squads at a heavy cost, all previous assessments of this Secret Realm Space were gravely mistaken!

Inside this Secret Realm, the true level of the Insect Race’s Nest’s Will Core is—Constant Star-level!"

"However, this Nest has been imprisoned here for unknown reasons. When its Subspace Projection crossed the intangible barrier of our Human Race’s ’Subspace Pure Land,’ it was suppressed by the Emperor’s Mighty Power. As a result, it cannot unleash the terrifying might befitting a Constant Star-level Powerhouse.

Its main body is pinned firmly to the core of the Secret Realm, unable to move, and can only rely on an endless swarm of Guard Insects for protection!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As long as you can break through the swarm’s blockade and kill the extremely suppressed Nest Queen, you can seize a complete Constant Star-level Nest’s Will!

If you can refine it, your strength will undergo a meteoric, transformative rise, allowing you to complete at least half of the Infinite Sea!!"

Below the thread were countless frantic comments from contestants.

"Looking for a team! I’m a peak ’Lake Realm’ with minor mastery in a Sealing King inheritance. Need a few powerhouses of the same level to hunt the Nest Queen and seize this Constant Star-level opportunity!"

"Selling a safe route map for the first section of the Secret Realm! Comes with a free weakness analysis for three types of elite-grade Insect Race monsters. Price negotiable via private message!"

"..."

Besides this main thread, seven or eight similar threads had appeared in the forum’s popular sections. Without exception, they were all about the discovery of suppressed "Constant Star-level" opportunities scattered throughout the Trial Star System Cluster.

Some were sealed Constant Star-level demons, some were slumbering Constant Star-level Alien Races, and others were the dilapidated Relics of Constant Star-level civilizations.

Seeing this, Qin Feng finally understood everything.

’So that’s how it is...’

He recalled what his mentor, Yu Han, had once told him about the ultimate secret of the Empire and Subspace.

’The Subspace corresponding to the Human Race’s territory is watched over by the supreme Will of the Emperor, transforming it into a ’Pure Land’ that belongs exclusively to the Human Race.

All of the Alien Races’ Indestructible Projections in Subspace are located outside this Pure Land, on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races and within the Ten Thousand Races Territory.’

’So... as long as the main bodies or projections of these Constant Star-level Powerhouses from other Alien Races are captured or imprisoned within the Human Race’s territory in some way, their power will be massively suppressed by the ’Subspace Pure Land.’ They’re like a flood dragon trapped in shallow waters, completely unable to display much of their strength.’

A flash of understanding shone in Qin Feng’s eyes.

This was no coincidence.

The competition’s organizers had deliberately placed these Constant Star-level opportunities—"neutered" by the Emperor’s Mighty Power—as rewards for the top-tier prodigies, and they had intentionally controlled the timeline of their appearance.

Having figured all this out, Qin Feng’s gaze toward the Insect Race Secret Realm was now completely different.

A Constant Star-level Nest’s Will, suppressed to its absolute limit... This was far more precious than the meager resources on Lang Qi and Wolf Ten.
