Permanent Martial Arts

It was a dangerous era. Extraterritorial ferocious beasts occupied 90% of the living space in the world, while humans could only survive in a small space. Fortunately, some of the surviving humans awakened to genetic martial arts! Breaking the shackles of one’s genetics was the foundation of cultivating martial arts. Lin Feng, who was born with congenital disease, could not experie

Chapter 224: Rat Crisis

The inside of the cave was blindingly dark.

Lin Feng switched on the flashlight and realized that this was a flight of stairs leading downwards. Moreover, the stairs were made of some kind of metal.

The wall beside the stairs was also metal, and felt a little cold to the touch.

Lin Feng was very cautious. He focused all his attention and watched everything around him closely.

Soon, they came down the stairs. The world opened up before them. It looked like a hall.

"Wait, there's blood."

Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped. He realized that the ground of this empty hall was covered in blood. Sage Kang had once said that he had sent a few batches of martial artists into the ruins, but none of them had come out.

Those people were most likely doomed. Then, could this blood be the blood of those martial artists?

"Everyone, be careful. There may be danger."

Even without Lin Feng's reminder, everyone was already on guard. With so much blood, the owners of the blood was most likely doomed. They had not forgotten how dangerous this ruin was.

Lin Feng's mental power showed its benefits. He could use his mental power to investigate the surroundings. Although the range was not too far, it managed to cover this hall without any problems.

Suddenly, Lin Feng sensed a shadow flashing through the darkness. As it was too fast, even Lin Feng's mental power could not capture what it was.

Swish.

Another shadow. This time, Lin Feng saw it clearly. It was clearly an incomparably huge rat. However, this rat was a little strange. Its eyes emitted a bloodthirsty glow, and its entire body was faintly suffused with a black light, blending into the darkness.

"Be careful."

Lin Feng reminded loudly, but the rat was too fast. It charged over in the blink of an eye.

Swish.

Sialis felt a pain in her neck. She unleashed her Astral Power abruptly and slammed it towards the shadow.

Bang.

The shadow was slapped to the ground, turning into a mess of rotten flesh. It was a huge, bizarre rat. But blood was spurting out of Sialis' neck.

With a thud, Sialis fell to the ground. Her face was slightly black, and her entire body convulsed. In another moment, she was no longer breathing.

"She's already dead!" Griman said coldly.

"Everyone, mobilize your Astral Power immediately and deploy it throughout your bodies!"

Lin Feng shouted. Even though this might consume a certain amount of Astral Power, it could ensure their safety in such a dangerous environment.

Unfortunately, Sialis no longer had a chance. She was bitten to death by the giant rat.

"What kind of dire beast is this?"

Someone looked at the rat flesh on the ground and asked through gritted teeth.

"Never seen it before. Not only is it fast, it's also highly venomous. Sialis wouldn't be dead otherwise."

They had just entered the ruins, and one of their companions had already died. It had to be known that Sialis' strength was quite good. She was a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist who had yet to use all kinds of methods at her disposal. It was a real shame that she had died just like that. At the same time, it also made them even more vigilant towards this ruin.

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

Suddenly, many rat screeches came from the darkness again. With his enveloping mental power, Lin Feng discovered a large amount of rats. They were all about the same size as the rat from before.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

These rats charged towards Lin Feng and the others in a frenzy. Fortunately, everyone was prepared this time. They would definitely not make the same mistake as Sialis.

"Armor!"

"Petrification Technique!"

Lin Feng growled. At the same time, his body was already covered in a layer of hideous armor. The Petrification Technique also covered the armor, greatly increasing Lin Feng's defense.

Lin Feng also wanted to test how strong these rats were. He suddenly took a step forward and charged into the horde of rats.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

These rats all slammed into Lin Feng's armor. They even bared their sharp teeth, trying to bite through the armor on Lin Feng's body.

However, they could not even break through the Petrification Technique, let alone break Lin Feng's armor.

Lin Feng reached out and grabbed a rat. He observed this rat carefully. Aside from sharp teeth and claws, and enough venom to poison a Metamorphic Realm martial artist to death, they seemed very ordinary as well.

At least, it posed no threat to Lin Feng at all.

Thump.

With a slight squeeze, Lin Feng killed the rat.

At the same time, he simply used his hands as sabers. Dense Sharp Horns appeared on his palms, which were much stronger than particle sabers.

"Lightning Arc Saber Technique?"

Using his hands as sabers, Lin Feng utilized the Lightning Arc Saber Technique. He did not even use Astral Power. His speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he slaughtered his way through the rat horde, causing a bloodbath.

It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Those rats were completely useless against Lin Feng.

Watching Lin Feng kill the rat dire beasts like a knife through hot butter, Griman and the others felt a little ashamed. They did not have such a formidable defensive ability like Lin Feng. Moreover, the rats were highly venomous and could poison Metamorphic Realm martial artists to death. They did not dare to withdraw their protective Astral Power.

Moreover, they could not kill these rats with raw physical strength. Hence, almost all of them, including Griman, were holding out with great difficulty. Even the eight of them combined could not match the number of rats Lin Feng had killed.

Even Griman, who had competed with Lin Feng in the Global Martial Arts Competition, had to admit that Lin Feng's abilities were too comprehensive. Moreover, they were very useful no matter the environment.

If not for Lin Feng, just these numerous rats would have caused them a lot of trouble. When their Astral Power was exhausted, they would probably die to the rats.

No wonder none of the many batches of martial artists Sage Kang had sent into this ruin had returned. Just these terrifying rat dire beasts alone were more than what any Metamorphic Realm martial artist deal with.

Even Divine Realm martial artists would probably be exhausted here. When their Astral Power was depleted, they would probably be devoured by the rat dire beasts immediately.

They were a little relieved that they had Lin Feng. Otherwise, they really wouldn't know how to deal with it this time. Forget about venturing deep into the ruins, they probably wouldn't even be able to leave this place.

"There are too many rats. We have to leave quickly!"

Lin Feng turned around and took a look. His endurance was very strong and could fight for several days and nights without fear, and even kill all these rat dire beasts.

However, the remaining eight martial artists could not hold out for that long. They could easily deal with these rats now because they still had sufficient Astral Power. Once their Astral Power was exhausted, the situation would probably be reversed immediately.

They could not continue wasting time with these rats.

"Everyone, follow me. There's a tunnel here."

Lin Feng moved with large strides, practically rampaging. All the rats he collided with were smashed to death. Even a single step from Lin Feng would crush a few rats to death.

Lin Feng's Armor and Petrification innate abilities were just too useful.

Lin Feng practically crushed his way over. There were too many rat dire beasts. At a glance, they seemed to fill the entire hall, as if they were infinite, and were still converging from all directions.

Even though all of them were battle-honed Metamorphic Realm martial artists, their scalps still tingled a little at this moment. As for Sialis, who had died previously, her corpse was no longer there. Not even her bones were left behind. They had all been devoured by the rat dire beasts.

No wonder they had only seen blood in the hall and not corpses. The corpses had probably been devoured by the rat dire beasts.

Lin Feng came to the front of Griman and the others. They had already formed a circle. With Astral Power, it was not difficult for them to deal with these rat dire beasts.

"Go!"

Lin Feng took the lead like a bulldozer, forcefully creating a bloody path. Lin Feng's armor was covered in blood, but his fists were basically covered in the blood of those rats.

There were actually some passageways around the hall. Lin Feng thought for a moment and walked straight towards a passageway ahead.

"You guys go in first. I'll cover the rear. These rats do not pose much threat to me."

Lin Feng was covered in blood, but he was everyone's reliance at this moment. Originally, they were all prodigies who wanted to enter the ruins to explore the mysteries of the ruins, and use various methods to successfully decipher the ruins.

They did not expect to become Lin Feng's burden.

"Lin Feng, be careful."

Griman looked deeply at Lin Feng. Initially, he was not very convinced and still had thoughts of "competing" in the future. But now, looking at the endless stream of rats, he no longer had any intention of competing with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng covered the rear. Seeing that Griman and the others had all entered the tunnel, the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile. Even he was a little flustered by the endless waves of rat dire beasts. He could not stop these rats from charging into the tunnel.

"Void Bubble!"

Lin Feng waved his hand, and a total of ten beautiful Void Bubbles appeared. Moreover, Lin Feng controlled the diameter of these Void Bubbles to be very large. At least every Astral Bubble had a diameter of more than five meters.

Astral Bubbles with a diameter of five meters might be much weaker, but it was more than enough to deal with these rats.

"Collapse!"

Lin Feng's ten Astral Bubble enveloped a large amount of rat dire beasts in the hall before suddenly collapsing.

Hundreds of thousands of rats screeched frantically, but as the ten Astral Bubbles collapsed, these rats were instantly reduced to dust. Seeing this scene, Griman and the others behind the tunnel gasped.

Lin Feng's methods were too comprehensive. Moreover, this Void Bubble was too shocking. Had anyone ever seen ten Astral Bubbles collapse instantly and kill thousands of rat dire beasts?

This was also the first time they had seen it!

Although Lin Feng had consumed 4,000 strands of Astral Power, 4,000 strands of Astral Power was nothing. He had more than 80,000 strands of Astral Power. Losing this tiny amount of Astral Power was nothing much, and had no effect on Lin Feng at all.

However, the others did not think so. Lin Feng had unleashed 4,000 strands of Astral Power at once. This was equivalent to nearly half the Astral Power in his body, and it was to cover their retreat.

He did it to save them. Lin Feng's "selfless" behavior also convinced the other eight martial artists. They no longer had any second thoughts about Lin Feng being their leader.

Lin Feng used the Void Bubble to clear the hall for the time being, but there were simply too many rats. They were practically infinite. He would not really exhaust his Astral Power to fight the rats to the death.

After entering the tunnel, he realized that there was a huge iron door in the tunnel. Whether due to age or some other reason, it did not fall. He immediately yanked it down hard by hand.

Boom.

The door fell down suddenly, completely sealing the passage and temporarily shutting the rats away.

"Phew…"

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Feng walked over and glanced at the eight martial artists. He said regretfully, "It's a pity that Sialis is dead. Everyone, you must be careful. Even if you waste some Astral Power, you must use it to protect yourself the entire time."

"Yes, Leader."

Everyone spoke together, treating Lin Feng's words as an order.

"Lin… Leader, I didn't expect us to become your burden."

Griman originally wanted to call Lin Feng by his name, but in the end, he still called him Leader. This meant that he had completely acknowledged Lin Feng.

"How could you be a burden? It's just that my various abilities happened to counter those rats earlier. There must be other dangers in the ruins next. When the time comes, we still need to work together to deal with them. This place should be safe for the time being. Everyone has consumed a lot of Astral Power just now. Let's restore our Astral Power first."

Lin Feng also sat on the ground, and the others began to restore their Astral Power.

The most important thing for Metamorphic Realm martial artists was Astral Power. Lin Feng had just consumed 4,000 strands of Astral Power. In order to not arouse suspicion, he also had to restore his Astral Power.

The speed at which the Astra Devourer Technique restored Astral Power was very fast. In less than half an hour, he had completely recovered the 4,000 strands of Astral Power. Lin Feng looked at the others, who were still working hard to restore their Astral Power.

"Longbetham, do you know which civilization this is now?"

Lin Feng called out to Longbetham in his mind. He had a vague feeling of worry. Those rats just now were too bizarre. They might be dire beasts, but they didn't quite seem like dire beasts.

Be it strength, speed, size, or so on, every rat was actually somewhat inferior to demons. Yet their venom could kill an ordinary demon.

This was just too strange. As far as Lin Feng knew, ordinary dire beasts, even dire beast kings, could not pose any threat to demons. However, these rats were clearly an exception.

As this was an ancient civilization ruin, Lin Feng wondered if it was related to the ancient civilization.

The ones who knew the most about ancient civilizations were not the Nine Sages, but Longbetham!

Lin Feng called out in his mind for a while before Longbetham finally said, "This is a little troublesome. If I am not wrong, this ruin should be a ruin left behind by the seventh civilization."

"The seventh civilization?"

Lin Feng communicated with Longbetham in his mind. No one else knew.

He remembered that Longbetham had once said that the current civilization was the ninth civilization. Before this, there were eight civilizations. If this ruin was left behind by the seventh civilization, it should be relatively close to the current era.

"Other than you, there had been eight other civilizations in this world. Among these eight civilizations, there had only been three technological civilizations. They are the third, fifth, and seventh civilizations respectively.

"Among them, the third and fifth civilizations were both purely technological civilizations. Only the seventh civilization was mainly technological while focusing on researching dire beasts, and developed things somewhat similar to biomodified beasts. This is rather troublesome."

There was actually a trace of worry in Longbetham's tone. This was really rare. Ever since Lin Feng had met Longbetham, Longbetham had always been full of confidence.

This was the first time Lin Feng had seen it so hesitant and worried.

Chapter 225: Biomodified Beasts

"Biomodified beasts? What do you mean?"

Lin Feng felt that if even Longbetham was worried, things were not looking good.

"The rats you encountered previously were actually not born dire beasts, but artificially created. They are called bomodified beasts. Do you understand now?"

Lin Feng's expression became sombre. No wonder he found these rats very strange. They clearly had venom that could threaten Metamorphic Realm martial artists, but their physique was inferior to those demons in all aspects.

So they were artificially created. But could lifeforms actually be created by humans?

"You mean that this ruin belongs to the seventh civilization, and this seventh civilization can already create lifeforms?"

Lin Feng could not hide the shock in his voice. However, he was only communicating with Longbetham in his mind. None of the others noticed Lin Feng.

"Creating biomodified beasts and creating lifeforms are two completely different things. Let me put it this way. These biomodified beasts were actually made from combining the genes of many dire beasts. Then, through mutation, they implanted some highly venomous genes. After tens of thousands of experiments, they finally succeeded in creating these rat biomodified beasts. This is completely different from creating lifeforms out of thin air."

"So, the seventh civilization was very good at genetic research?"

"They were indeed very good. At least, they were far better than your current technology level. However, their research direction was off the mark. They actually want to mutate and create some bizarre biomodified beasts. The human body itself is a huge treasure trove. Instead of studying the mysteries of the human body carefully, they turned to studying those dire beasts, and even mutated dire beasts. Their civilization might have flourished on the surface, but in reality, their potential was far inferior to your current civilization."

Lin Feng also calmed down. He thought carefully and continued to ask, "Then what's the trouble you mentioned earlier?"

"Although the potential of the seventh civilization was inferior to yours, they were already very well-developed. They had even developed terrifying biomodified beasts on par with lifeforms with three life transitions. This ruin should be an experimental research institute of theirs back then. I do not know what kind of terrifying biomodified beasts are inside either."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. The rats just now were already very terrifying. He only happened to counter those rats. If those rats could destroy his Armor and Petrification Technique, he would definitely be in a sorry state, or even in danger.

Apart from him, the other eight martial artists were all helpless against those rats. However, according to Longbetham, these rats were only low-level biomodified beasts, and not comparable to those demons at all.

If they encountered many biomodified demons, they would really be in serious trouble.

"Longbetham, we have to complete this mission no matter what. We're preparing to go to the control room. Once we reach the control room, can you control the entire research institute? At least turn off the defense mechanism of the research institute and allow the two Sages to send experts over."

Lin Feng knew very well that whether they could take over the control room was very important. He did not know anything about the seventh civilization at all. The other eight martial artists were all similar to Lin Feng. Even if they found the control room, they might not be able to take over it.

However, things were different with Longbetham. As a member of a mechanical civilization, which was among the best of technological civilizations, and as a mechanical lifeform at that, Longbetham should know a lot about technological things.

Although this seventh civilization was a biomodified beast civilization, it was still a technological civilization.

Longbetham was uncertain, and gave no affirmative answer.

"If you really find the control room, I shall give it a try, but I cannot guarantee that I can take over the control room. Although I am a mechanical life form, I am not omnipotent. I am not confident that I can take over the control room immediately in a very short period of time."

Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Longbetham did not refuse.

Longbetham would definitely be able to control the control room, but he needed time. Lin Feng did not know what dangers there were in this ruin, and time was what he lacked the most.

"By the way, Longbetham, do you know the location of the control room?"

"Did you not see the map earlier?"

"That map is so complicated. I can't understand it either."

"Keep walking. I will remind you."

Lin Feng opened his eyes and realized that Griman, Fu Lin, and the others had already recovered their Astral Power.

"Leader, are you all right?" Fu Lin came before Lin Feng and asked with concern.

"I am fine. My Astral Power has been fully restored."

At this moment, Griman was walking near the corridor. He seemed hesitant, as if he was about to say something before stopping himself.

"Griman, what do you want to say?"

Griman pondered for a moment and said, "I was just thinking, what exactly does this ruin trying to do? Is it a shelter? Or some secret base or something like that. Later, I saw those rat dire beasts. Where did so many rats come from? They don't look like dire beasts either. There are so many of them. How do they survive?"

Hearing Griman's analysis, the other martial artists' eyes also lit up. That's right, the appearance of those rats was too strange.

"Griman, what do you think?"

"My thought is that these rats may be guards or something in this ruin. Or rather, they're actually the defensive mechanisms. And I suspect that this ruin is something like a research institute."

"Research institute?"

The others thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

Lin Feng glanced at Griman in surprise. He did not expect Griman to figure out that this was a research institute.

"All right, regardless of whether this is a research institute or not, our goal is to find the control room. The rats just now have already proven that there are probably other worse dire beasts in this ruin. Everyone must be careful. If everyone's Astral Power has recovered, we'll set off immediately to continue searching for the control room."

Everyone also expressed their assent. Metamorphic Realm martial artists with Astral Power did not fear any danger at all.

This time, all the martial artists were no longer sparing with Astral Power. They covered their entire bodies with Astral Power. Even if they encountered any unexpected situations, they would not die without any resistance like Sialis did.

Lin Feng led the way. The corridor was very long and winding, but surprisingly, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

Moreover, with Longbetham guidance, Lin Feng simply skipped some of the rooms and areas along the way without exploring them. Instead, he kept walking forward.

Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped.

"Listen, are those footsteps?"

Lin Feng's expression was solemn as he listened carefully.

The others also stuck their ears to the ground. In the end, all of them grimaced.

"There are footsteps, and they're getting closer."

"The footsteps are very heavy. They sound like massive dire beasts. There should be three of them!"

Hearing the footsteps of dire beasts, everyone became nervous.

"Longbetham, is there no other way?"

"No, this is the only way! The defense mechanism of the research institute must have been activated. Some biomodified beasts responsible for guarding the place have been released. You are on your own."

Lin Feng did not have a good solution, but since there was no other way, they could only fight.

"Everyone, get ready for battle. It may be harder this time!"

Lin Feng was naturally at the forefront, paying close attention to the front of the tunnel.

Chapter 226: Hopeless Situation

Lin Feng had already deployed his Armor and Petrification Technique. Moreover, the Sharp Horn had covered his hand. He was fully prepared, and was even prepared to unleash his Astral Power at any moment.

The footsteps gradually approached. As the footsteps approached, everyone could clearly feel that the entire corridor was shaking. This corridor was also very spacious, enough to accommodate some very large dire beasts.

Finally, Lin Feng's mental power detected them. They were three strange dire beasts that looked somewhat like lizards.

For the time being, he'd call them lizards. The three lizards were all more than six meters long, and densely packed eyes covered their foreheads. They looked particularly grotesque.

Moreover, they actually had two tails. Their bodies were covered in a layer of tough armor-like scales, making them look especially hideous and ferocious.

"Incoming!"

Lin Feng scanned with his mental power and realized that the speed of the three lizards increased in an instant. Even his mental power scan could only sense three shadows.

"So quick?"

Lin Feng was shocked. He moved forward almost subconsciously.

Six Spiral Forces erupted!

Boom.

Lin Feng's arm suddenly expanded. He threw a punch, and a sonic boom sounded in the air. His six Spiral Forces erupted. In addition to the strength of his original body, it instantly exceeded 4,000 tons.

Moreover, there was the indestructible Sharp Horn. No matter what these lizard dire beasts were, Lin Feng was confident that he could make them suffer.

Bang.

Lin Feng punched the lizard hard. He could clearly feel the power in his body erupting with a bang. Through his fist, the Sharp Horn was also frantically trying to destroy the lizard's body.

However, what did he sense?

A wall?

No, it was even harder than a wall. With Lin Feng's current strength, he could easily blast a huge hole in a mountain. However, when his punch landed on the lizard, it did not move at all. He could not even break through its scales.

Crunch.

At this moment, Lin Feng heard the Sharp Horn on his palm break. When had the indestructible Sharp Horn ever broken?

Swish.

At the same time, a thick tail struck Lin Feng's body as fast as lightning.

Lin Feng's Petrification Technique and Armor were actually completely useless and shattered immediately. Fortunately, Lin Feng immediately mobilized his Astral Power, amassing a large amount of Astral Power to resist this strike.

Boom.

Lin Feng was sent flying by the strike and landed heavily on the ground. His entire body felt as if it was falling apart. Ten thousand strands of Astral Power in his body were actually depleted in an instant.

How could this be possible?

Although Lin Feng had more than 80,000 strands of Astral Power, losing 10,000 strands of Astral Power at once was too shocking. It had to be known that Lin Feng still had the Petrification Technique and Armor, which had resisted at least some of the lizard's power.

Even so, it still exhausted 10,000 strands of Astral Power in an instant, which was why Lin Feng was unharmed.

If it were any other Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist, they would only have a total of 9,999 strands of Astral Power in their bodies. A casual strike from the lizard could probably easily claim their lives.

"This is bad. Retreat quickly. They are peak demon generals!" Lin Feng warned everyone at once.

Peak demon generals. Lin Feng could now be certain that they were definitely comparable to peak demon generals. Even the Pangolin Beast Queen Ant demon and the giant dragon under Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi that Lin Feng had encountered back then were far inferior to these three bizarre-looking lizards.

However, Lin Feng's warning came a little too late. After Lin Feng was sent flying by the tail, Fu Lin, Griman, Dardan, and the others charged forward immediately.

The eight Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists unleashed almost all their Astral martial arts.

Boom.

A large amount of Astral Power exploded. All kinds of Astral martial arts were used the lizard, but they could not even break through its scales. Instead, they angered the lizard.

The dense and innumerable "eyes" on the lizard's head looked very horrifying.

At this moment, gray rays shot out from these "eyes".

Thump.

Wherever the beam passed, a huge hole was corroded in the walls and the ground of the corridor. Liu Chengfeng and Andor tried to resist it with Astral Power.

However, as soon as the ray touched their bodies, the Astral Power in their bodies could not even hold out for a second. It was depleted in an instant. At the same time, both of them were pierced by the ray and cried out in agony.

Then, a huge hole appeared in the chests of Andor and Liu Chengfeng, but there was not even a trace of blood.

The two of them were dead. There were no signs of life. They could not even withstand the lizard for a second.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!"

Lin Feng's face was flushed. He jumped up immediately. Seeing the tragic deaths of Andor and Liu Chengfeng, even his expression became a little twisted.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Griman and Fu Lin were in luck. They retreated very fast and quickly returned to Lin Feng's side.

Lin Feng also led the remaining six martial artists to retreat rapidly. However, the speed of the lizards was not slow. Wang Yiming, who was at the back, was swept into the lizard's mouth by the tongue of one of the lizards. He was torn into pieces and swallowed by the lizard.

Three people died at once, but the remaining people did not have the time to grieve. They fled all the way back, only to realize that they had already escaped to the door that isolated the rats from before.

Despair appeared in everyone's eyes. They had nowhere to run.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

As the lizard's footsteps approached, everyone fell silent.

The three lizards were too terrifying. Forget about three lizards, even if there was only one of them, they would not be its match with all ten of them. Furthermore, they had nowhere to retreat now. This was clearly a hopeless situation.

"It's a shame. I haven't undergone a second life transition yet." Fu Lin lamented.

"I haven't studied my innate ability to its strongest yet, either." Griman's eyes also revealed regret.

They did not actually fear death, but they regretted not being able to advance further on the path of martial arts. It was also a shame that despite the Sages placing such high hopes on them, they still failed to complete the mission in the end.

All kinds of thoughts ran through Lin Feng's mind. Fight head-on? That would undoubtedly be the most foolish. The three lizards were all peak demon generals, and they must be biomodified beasts that possessed all kinds of terrifying power.

These biomodified beasts were born for battle and killing. All their abilities were the most terrifying, lethal abilities.

However, they were already in a hopeless situation. How could they accept their fates without a fight?

"Do you trust me?"

Lin Feng suddenly raised his head and swept his gaze across the remaining five martial artists. There was a trace of determination in his calm tone.

Chapter 227: The Strongest Void Bubble!

"At this point, what's there not to trust? Leader, do you have a solution?"

Fu Lin said softly. Everyone's gaze was focused on Lin Feng.

However, Lin Feng shifted his gaze to Griman and said in a low voice, "Griman, do you still remember your innate ability? I need you to restrain those three lizards at all costs! Then, the rest is up to me. I will deploy the Void Bubble. Whether I succeed or not, after I deploy the Void Bubble, everyone must charge forward at all costs. Whether we can escape would depend on our luck."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They all knew very well that Lin Feng was prepared to put everything on the line.

Even though they all knew that Lin Feng's Void Bubble was very strong, they were dealing with two peak-level demon generals this time. Would Lin Feng's Void Bubble work?

Everyone fell silent. But so what if they did not trust Lin Feng? Did they have a choice?

Griman suddenly smiled and said indifferently, "I trust you! Whether we succeed or not, we have to fight to find out. So what if there are three demon generals? In life-or-death situations, perhaps we can unleash the potential of life, break the genetic lock, and undergo a second life transition."

"That's right. There's great terror in life-or-death situations, but also great opportunity. Let's go all out!"

The remaining people all said loudly, as if venting the pressure in their hearts. Facing three demon generals, they certainly would not believe claims that there was any hope.

However, they were martial artists. Even if they must die, they would die in battle!

Hence, they decided to give it their all!

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Everyone held their breaths and focused. Lin Feng and Griman stood at the front, their minds tense to the extreme.

The three giant lizards appeared again. Their eyes were bloodshot and filled with bloodlust. These were pure killing beasts, the most terrifying biomodified beasts. They were completely irrational.

Even ordinary demon generals would not be like these three lizards, whose only thoughts were of killing and destruction.

The biomodified beasts, weapons of war of the seventh civilization, were indeed very terrifying. No wonder even Longbetham said that the seventh civilization was more troublesome. Lin Feng had finally experienced it for himself.

Buzz.

In the next moment, the three lizards roared and quickly transformed into three shadows that pounced towards Lin Feng and the others. At the same time, Griman's face was flushed red. He had already unleashed his innate ability to the limit.

"Stop!"

Griman growled, and the Astral Power in his entire body erupted in a frenzy. Lin Feng knew that Griman had a spatial talent, but Griman's spatial talent was just too weak. Lin Feng was not confident that he could restrain the three lizards.

However, without Griman, Lin Feng's Void Bubble would have even less of a chance to envelop the three lizards. After all, the speed of the three lizards was too fast. Lin Feng could not even lock onto them with his mental power.

Lin Feng's mental power enveloped the three lizards at all times. The Astral Power in his body was also boiling.

Regardless of whether Griman could restrain the three lizards, he had to deploy the Void Bubble. If he failed, he could only leave it to fate. Perhaps Lin Feng could survive by relying on the undying characteristic, but the others might be doomed.

The roars of the three lizards seemed to be still echoing through the tunnel, and Griman's deep growls were even more incessant.

In that instant, everything seemed to have stopped. Lin Feng's eyes widened. It was that feeling again. He felt that the space around the three lizards seemed to be distorted by an extremely peculiar force.

The three lizards stopped and were imprisoned in the air. Lin Feng's mental power could even see traces of shock amidst the madness in the eyes of the three lizards.

Surprised?

Lin Feng did not think too much about it. He almost subconsciously waved his hand, and the massive Astral Power in his body was unleashed in a frenzy with overwhelming force.

A huge Astral Bubble instantly enveloped the three lizards. Half of the bodies of two lizards were still not enveloped by the Astral Bubble.

He frantically infused more than 70,000 strands of Astral Power infused into the Astral Bubble.

Just how strong was a Void Bubble fused with 70,000 strands of Astral Power?

Actually, even Lin Feng himself did not know. He could have been stronger, with more than 80,000 strands of Astral Power. However, resisting the lizard's attack previously had consumed 10,000 strands of Astral Power.

Even so, 70,000 strands of Astral Power was still very terrifying. Lin Feng was really going all out this time. He infused all the Astral Power in his body into the Void Bubble. There was no longer a single trace of Astral Power in his body.

This was the strongest Void Bubble Lin Feng had ever used!

"Collapse!"

Lin Feng shouted wildly, a hint of hysteria in his voice.

Even Lin Feng himself did not know the power of the strongest Void Bubble he had used. He even felt that he even stood a chance against Divine Realm martial artists in a fight! And now, he could finally test the power of the strongest Void Bubble.

The Void Bubble suddenly collapsed, as if a huge stellar object was collapsing. Faint black airflow even appeared inside, instantly enveloping the three lizards.

Thump.

The scales of the three lizards shattered one after another, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. The lizards tipped back their heads and roared, looking as if they were in immense agony.

However, that was all.

The Void Bubble was indeed very powerful, but it was unable to "annihilate" all three lizards. These three lizards were simply too strong, despairingly so.

Lin Feng's strongest Void Bubble just now had only injured three lizards. As for killing the lizards, that was just impossible.

"Run, quick!"

Lin Feng roared. He had already failed. What else could they do? Wait for death?

Fu Lin, Dardan, Lin Xu, and the others also reacted extremely quickly. Taking advantage of the time when the Void Bubble enveloped the three lizards, they all used all their strength to charge forward in a frenzy. As for Griman, his entire body had already suffered a backlash from using his spatial ability just now. Now, even his movements were considerably hindered.

Lin Feng decisively grabbed Griman and carried Griman on his shoulder as he charged forward like lightning.

As the Void Bubble collapsed, the three lizards injured lizards all roared madly as they looked at Lin Feng and the others, filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

"Run, run!"

Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He charged forward in a frenzy with Griman. Even with Griman in tow, Lin Feng's speed was not slow.

Swish.

Countless gray beams shot out of the three lizards' eyes. Lin Xu and Ouyang Jing were rather unlucky. They were slightly slower, and penetrated by the beams.

Originally, neither of them were fatally injured. At most, there was a bloody hole in their bodies. With the physique of a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, it was not lethal. However, their speeds slowed with their injuries, and the three lizards caught up with them. The lizards opened their mouths and swallowed the two of them alive.

Two more people were devoured by the lizards. Out of the ten martial artists, there were only four left, including Lin Feng. Moreover, Griman was very weak and had lost his combat ability.

Lin Feng led everyone forward in a frantic dash forward, but before long, two forks appeared in the tunnel.

"Split up. Everyone, split up. Griman and I will take the left. Fu Lin, Dardan, you take the right tunnel. Remember, you must survive!"

With that, Lin Feng immediately led Griman towards the left tunnel.

Actually, Lin Feng had already heard Longbetham's directions just now. Both tunnels led to the control room in the end. However, he knew very well that they must not go in the same direction.

Even if they were really going to die, if people who went in one direction died, those who went in the other direction would still have a chance to enter the control room.

"Lin Feng, put me down. Otherwise, both of us will die."

Griman said weakly. Lin Feng could clearly hear the footsteps of the two lizards behind. These lizards actually had some intelligence, and knew how to split up in pursuit.

It was indeed inconvenient to bring Griman along. Lin Feng thought for a moment and realized that there was a room beside him. He immediately crashed the room open and placed Griman in the room.

"Griman, just stay here. I'll definitely enter the control room and complete the mission!"

With that, he looked at the two lizards behind him and bellowed loudly, attracting the attention of the two lizards and leading them towards himself.

Chapter 228: Desperation

"Quick, quick, where's the control room?"

Lin Feng was also beginning to panic. The two lizards behind him were fast, and could shoot lethal rays on top of that.

Swish.

Two more rays instantly pierced through Lin Feng's body.

These rays were very scorching, and a strange force exploded within his body. It was very difficult to resist. Forget about the fact that Lin Feng no longer had his armor, even with his armor and Petrification Technique, he could not resist these rays.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had the undying characteristic and astonishing restorative ability. Even if his body was pierced by the ray, he could recover extremely quickly.

Lin Feng had always felt that out of all the dire beast genes he had fused, the genes of the Screwworms were the strongest. Why? It was because this undying characteristic was simply too powerful. He had seen so many dire beasts or greater demons, but none of them possessed abilities comparable to the undying characteristic of the Screwworms.

The Screwworms were definitely not simple. It's a pity that the Invincible Fist Sage seemed to be already in charge of the Screwworms' matter. The Invincible Fist Sage was personally investigating it, and no one knew how far the investigation had gone.

Lin Feng did not believe that those few Screwworms outside Dragonlith City were all of them. There was not even a single demon general.

Relying on the undying characteristic, Lin Feng had evaded lethal threats for countless times.

If not for his undying characteristic, he would probably be long dead from the pursuit of the two lizards.

"That door in front. Do you see it? The control room is inside."

Lin Feng did not know how long he had been running for. He could only follow Longbetham's guidance and flee forward in a frenzy.

At this moment, Longbetham's voice sounded again. They had arrived at the control room. However, Lin Feng saw the closed door. How could he open it?

"Longbetham, open the door quickly."

There was no way Lin Feng could open that door himself.

"I need some time. It depends on whether you can hold out."

"How long?"

"Half a minute should be enough!"

Lin Feng glanced at the two lizards running towards him from behind. It was hard to say if he could hold out for half a minute. After all, he no longer had any Astral Power left.

"All right, half a minute! Be as fast as possible. Else, once I die, you'll have to wait for another candidate with the genetic fusion device again."

"Do not worry. I hope you can survive too. Otherwise, it will be so dull back in the spaceship I can only sleep."

With that, he placed the communicator on the electronic lock beside the door according to Longbetham's instructions.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Only three seconds had passed before the two lizards caught up.

Swish! Swish!

The two lizards caught up. Without giving Lin Feng any chance, the dense eyes on their heads immediately shot out a great number of rays.

"F*ck!"

Lin Feng could not help but curse. He had to dodge those dense rays. Otherwise, even if he had the undying characteristic, he would be turned into a hornet's nest. Even recovering would take a lot of effort.

Moreover, the two lizards were still eying him aggressively. How would they give him time to recover?

"Longbetham, hurry up!"

"All right, you can take the communicator now. You are in luck. It would not take half a minute, but only about twenty seconds."

"Twenty seconds?"

Only three seconds had passed. He immediately put away his communicator and rolled on the ground.

Swish.

The rays shot out close to Lin Feng's arm, causing one of his arms to be covered in blood. However, it was only a superficial wound, and he would recover quickly. Lin Feng looked back again. Those rays had also shot at the door.

Lin Feng had also thought of using the two lizards to break through this door by force, but now, he saw that the indestructible rays of the lizards were actually useless against this door.

It seemed like this door was also made of special metal. Forget about the rays, even if two lizards collided with it wildly, it would be useless.

"I can only rely on Longbetham now. I hope Longbetham can be faster."

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He had rolled on the ground just now and bought some time.

Four seconds, five seconds, six seconds…

At this moment, every second felt like a year to Lin Feng. The two lizards approached step by step. The gray rays almost formed a huge net that constantly suppressed Lin Feng's mobility.

As for fleeing, how far could Lin Feng run now? Moreover, there were hard walls behind him. There was nowhere to run.

"I can't just wait for death."

Lin Feng knew that he could not avoid these rays, so he stopped running.

Swoosh.

Lin Feng suddenly stood up and charged towards one of the lizards.

"Six Spiral Forces!"

He saw that the lingering injuries on the lizard's body from when he used the Void Bubble. The scales on its body had already fallen off, revealing bloody flesh.

Snap.

However, before Lin Feng could approach this lizard, the tail of another lizard had already swung out and struck Lin Feng hard.

The lizard was simply too strong, far stronger than any of the dire beasts Lin Feng had encountered before. With a lash, Lin Feng was sent flying, and the bones in his body cracked.

"How miserable."

Ever since Lin Feng had reached the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, he had thought that he would never be in such a miserable state, even when facing a demon general. However, he knew now that he was wrong, and absurdly so.

What were 80,000 strands of Astral Power? Once Astral Power was exhausted, he was not much stronger than professional martial artists.

And how much use was the physical tempering he had always persevered in? It was even more useless than Astral Power.

Only the various innate abilities he had awakened, especially the undying characteristic, played a huge role. His other innate abilities were just so powerless at this moment.

Seven seconds, eight seconds, nine seconds, ten seconds…

Lin Feng watched as the lizards approached step by step and opened their bloody mouths. However, there was still no movement from the door. He suddenly laughed. Even though his mouth was filled with blood, he still laughed.

"I'm really at the end of my rope this time. How long has it been since I've been at the end of my rope?"

Lin Feng suddenly recalled the last time he entered the underground tunnel outside the North Mountain Base and encountered the Pangolin Beast demons. He had not been in such a sorry state even back then.

But now, he was really in a hopeless situation. It was no different from when he was outside Dragonlith City.

However, that time, Lin Feng broke the genetic lock and counterattacked in desperation. In the end, he held out until the arrival of the Invincible Fist Sage. And this time, what else could he do?

"There is great terror in life-or-death situations, but also great opportunity…"

Lin Feng slowly stood up against the wall behind him. His body was already riddled with internal injuries, but he still had the strength to fight!

The Mental Power Sphere in Lin Feng's mind was Lin Feng's foundation. When his mental power reached a certain level, it could form a mental storm that swept through all directions.

However, that could only be done when one's mental power had reached a certain level. Right now, Lin Feng's mental power was actually still very weak. It could only affect ordinary people slightly. It could not even deal with martial artists with slightly stronger wills.

"Mental storm!"

However, at this moment, Lin Feng had no choice. He gritted his teeth, and the Mental Power Sphere in his mind suddenly spun.

Chapter 229: Control Room

Buzz.

The Mental Power Sphere trembled, and Lin Feng's mental power erupted from his mind like a tide.

The invisible mental power was real. Lin Feng's mental power swept towards the two lizards like an actual storm.

Boom.

The two lizards felt a splitting headache. In an instant, they both went berserk. They even fell to the ground and collided heavily with it, causing the entire ruin to shake.

"So strong?"

Lin Feng was a little surprised. He did not expect his mental storm to be so effective. However, his mental storm could not last for too long. In fact, it could only last for a moment.

Eleven seconds, twelve seconds, thirteen seconds, fourteen seconds…

The two lizards roared wildly. How much their heads hurt was evident from the way they smashed into the ground hard. Lin Feng rushed up at once, gathered all his strength, and smashed towards the lizard's wound again.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

He struck again and again, yet he could not worsen the wound no matter how hard he tried.

Fifteen seconds, sixteen seconds, seventeen seconds…

When even Lin Feng's head was going a little dizzy and his Mental Power Sphere dimmed, Lin Feng could no longer unleash the mental storm. The two lizards raised their heads again, revealing ferocious and bloodthirsty gazes.

"Grr…"

The two lizards were incomparably enraged. One of them charged ruthlessly at Lin Feng with its head.

Lin Feng's body was sent flying backward. At the same time, the lizard opened its ravenous maws and tried to swallow Lin Feng in one gulp.

Lin Feng's entire body was already severely injured. Although his injuries were rapidly recovering from the undying characteristic, there was no time for Lin Feng to recover at all. In particular, overusing the mental power in his mind caused Lin Feng to be on the brink of fainting.

"Get lost!"

Lin Feng roared and gathered all the strength in his body again. He stomped hard with his foot and retreated by leveraging on the force of the lizard, before landing from the air.

Lin Feng panted heavily. He had consumed too much energy and was too weary just now. Furthermore, he had overused his mental power and his head was spinning. He was relying entirely on his will to hold out now.

The bones and flesh in his body were collapsing. Apart from being shattered by the lizard's tail, the rays used by the lizard were also destroying Lin Feng's body.

Destruction and repair. Lin Feng had never sensed the changes in the cells in his body so closely. But now that he was almost at the end of his rope, he could sense the various changes in the cells in his body.

Some serious injuries were injuries from being rammed into by the lizard. Actually, it was relatively easy to recover from injuries. However, the lizards' rays contained a strange force that constantly destroyed the various cells in Lin Feng's body. As each cell broke and died, Lin Feng's injuries worsened.

However, at the same time, Lin Feng's other cells were constantly dividing to replace those destroyed cells.

"This is…?"

Lin Feng suddenly felt that he never had a complete understanding of his body. He did not know how his innate abilities were born, be it his strength ability, undying characteristic, armor, Petrification Technique, or Sharp Horn.

He had never understood his body so clearly as he did when seriously injured today.

In the dark, a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in Lin Feng's mind. He wanted to grasp it, but had no clue.

What exactly were life transitions?

Were they not just the sublimation of life, the evolution of life? And the body was their foundation. If one couldn't even understand their own body, how could they evolve and sublimate?

Lin Feng suddenly felt that he had taken the wrong path in the past. Or rather, his efforts had been misplaced in the past. There had clearly always been a path before him, yet he had never taken it.

If he could survive this time, he would definitely focus on studying his body. Perhaps the second life transition was hidden in his body!

But could he survive after sustaining such heavy injuries?

"All right, the door is open. Hurry up and go in!"

Longbetham's urgent voice suddenly sounded in Lin Feng's mind.

"The door is open?"

Lin Feng was a little surprised. It turned out that 20 seconds had already passed unknowingly while he was risking his life just now. Longbetham did not disappoint Lin Feng and opened the door.

Rumble.

The door of the control room began to open slowly. The lizard in front of Lin Feng had already opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite down hard. Lin Feng suddenly pushed at it with his arm with all his might.

Crunch.

Lin Feng's arm was bitten off by the lizard. Even injured fingers would hurt, let alone an arm. Lin Feng almost fainted from the pain, especially now that his mental power was exhausted, and he was on the verge of collapse at every moment.

However, he cut his losses and sent his arm into the lizard's mouth. Then, using the little time the lizard used to bite off its arm, he stomped on the lizard's head with one leg and quickly leaped towards the door.

The door was slowly opening. It was very slow, just enough to accommodate an ordinary person. Lin Feng leaped to the door, rolled forward, and entered through the gap.

The two lizards were furious. They roared at the door and even slammed into it with all their might, but the door did not budge at all. It was completely undamaged.

"Phew…"

Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief, but the door was still slowly opening. Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Longbetham, close the door quickly!"

"It cannot be closed. The door can only be closed after it has been completely opened. By then, they will have already caught up to us. You had better find a place to hide first. In your current state, if they catch up to you, you will definitely die!"

Lin Feng was indeed on the verge of collapse. He had lost an arm, and his body was riddled with internal injuries. If not for the rapid recovery from his undying characteristic, he would probably be unable to move now.

He looked around and realized that there were many devices around. There was a very sci-fi feel to it.

This was indeed the control room. If Lin Feng had the time, he could get Longbetham to try to control the ruins and close the defense mechanism in the ruins. Then, the mission would be complete. He only needed to contact Sage Kang and get the Sages to send experts into the ruins.

But now, as the door slowly opened, the two lizards were constantly roaring, ready to charge in at any moment. Lin Feng did not have time to stay in the control room at all.

"Longbetham, there must be some emergency passages in the control room, right?"

"They should be in front. Hurry up and find them. Those things are about to enter."

Lin Feng hurriedly walked towards a passageway beside the control room. The passageway led downstairs. As Lin Feng walked, the lights in the passageway lit up.

Behind him, Lin Feng heard the footsteps and roars of the two lizards. They were still hot on his heels.

Just as Lin Feng was uncertain how long he could hold out for, another door suddenly appeared in front of him. Moreover, the path had already come to an end. There was no more path ahead, only this door.

"What should I do?"

Lin Feng was dumbfounded. There was no more path ahead, and there were two lizards behind him. This time, it seemed like he had really reached a dead end.

Chapter 230: Awakening

"Quick, place the communicator in the electronic lock. This door is similar to the door outside. I can open it!"

There was a trace of urgency in Longbetham's tone as well. It did not want Lin Feng to really die. If that happened, finding another successor would not be so easy.

Although Lin Feng's natural talent was not much, he was lucky. Longbetham did not think it was possible to meet someone as lucky as Lin Feng next time.

Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, it did not want Lin Feng to die.

The footsteps in the tunnel approached. Lin Feng hurriedly struggled to place the communicator on the electronic lock.

About two or three seconds after placing it there, the door rumbled and began to open rapidly.

"It's open, it's open."

Overjoyed, Lin Feng immediately rolled on the ground and entered the door. He did not even have time to look at the situation inside the door before shouting, "Close the door now."

In the distance, two lizards could already be seen chasing after them in a frenzy. However, the door had already begun to close slowly.

Boom.

As the door closed completely, Lin Feng could finally heave a sigh of relief. He could still hear the roars of the two lizards outside. They still wanted to destroy the door, but it was completely futile.

Lin Feng leaned against the door and sprawled weakly on the ground. He was so tired that he did not even want to open his eyes. His mind was almost in shambles, and his body was sore and weak. All he wanted to do now was to sleep.

"Lin Feng, look, what are these?"

In his daze, Lin Feng vaguely heard Longbetham's surprised voice. Its tone was filled with excitement. He tried his best to open his eyes to take a look, but no matter how hard he tried to open his eyes, his vision remained blurry.

Thump.

Finally, Lin Feng's body went limp. He fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

…

Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi were personally overseeing a base in the depths of the Outland.

This base was no small matter. Metamorphic Realm martial artists were commonplace. The true main force was Divine Realm martial artists!

Above Divine Realm martial artists were Meta-divine martial artists, and there were even Sages personally presiding over them!

This base was not meant to resist those dire beasts, but to conduct close surveillance on the Black Wind Canyon. As one of the Four Forbidden Places known to humans, it was very normal for two Sages to oversee and guard it, especially there might be a terrifying greater demon hidden within the Black Wind Canyon.

Some time ago, the gathering of the nine demon emperors in the Black Wind Canyon had already made Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi very nervous. Although they had already dispersed, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi still felt that this matter was not that simple.

Perhaps there was some secret within the Black Wind Canyon that they did not know about. Once any abnormality occurred, it would be earth-shattering, and even enough to annihilate the entire human civilization.

"It's been three days, right?" Sage Kang suddenly asked.

"It's been more than three days. There's still no news from the communicators, and no movement from the ruins. I'm afraid it bodes ill for them…"

Sage Yuanyi heaved a long sigh. In fact, they should not have held such high hopes. How many elites had they sent in? In the end, had anyone succeeded?

No. Everyone was lost to the ruins, and there was never news of them again.

Without a doubt, Lin Feng and the others had most likely failed this time as well.

"Alas, what a pity. Lin Feng and Griman actually both have a chance of becoming Divine Realm martial artists, but they're buried in this ruin now. Do not send anyone into this ruin in the future. I suspect that this ruin and the disaster that erupted in the military three days ago were left behind by the same civilization."

Sage Kang's expression was solemn.

"That disaster in the military was a little troublesome. Those overwhelming robots are clearly weapons of war. They are only focused on destruction and killing, and are even more terrifying than dire beast Predators."

Sage Yuanyi was a little worried that the military faction would not be able to quell the disaster.

"It is indeed a disaster, but it may also be a huge opportunity. If we can assimilate those technologies and create the same robots, it will be much easier to deal with dire beasts. The military faction is handling this matter, so it won't spread to the cities for the time being."

"How despicable. If not for those demon emperors holding us back, any one of us Nine Sages can easily resolve that calamity."

Sage Yuanyi was somewhat unwilling to accept the situation. The reason why the Nine Sages were overseeing the depths of the Outland was actually to intimidate the demon emperors. Those demon emperors were also extremely cunning. Once the Sages left, they may leave.

If they reached the heartland of humanity, even if the demon emperors could eventually be dispelled, they would still pose a devastating blow to humanity. It would be a complete calamity.

With the three calamities brought by the previous three demon emperors in mind, the Nine Sages did not dare to leave lightly.

"Let's wait. I hope Dongfang Sheng won't let us down. If a new Sage emerges, our situation will be much better."

Sage Kang looked at the electronic screen and closed his eyes.

Humans were plagued by disasters. Sages like themselves knew very well that although human society seemed to be flourishing, it was walking a tightrope. All it took was a little carelessness for it to be destroyed.

They were under immense pressure at all times.

As for Lin Feng and the others in the ruins, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi no longer held much hope.

…

Lin Feng seemed to have fallen into darkness in a daze. Gradually, he "woke up" and regained consciousness.

"Where am I?" Lin Feng shouted loudly, but there was no response.

He could not seem to use his mental power, and could not sense his Astral Power at all.

Suddenly, Lin Feng saw a huge "tumor" in front of him. It was almost as huge as a mountain. There were some detailed and clear patterns on it.

At this moment, Lin Feng realized that there was a faint force flowing along these patterns, and gradually "overflowing" out of them.

"This is…?"

Lin Feng's mouth fell open. He realized that this huge tumor was actually slowly splitting into another huge tumor. It was transforming through innumerable complicated patterns and countless forces.

Finally, it split into another tumor which was identical. There was no difference at all.

"Division?"

An idea flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He seemed to have grasped something, but he also felt that something was missing.

Then, Lin Feng stayed beside the tumor for an hour, two hours, three hours…

Lin Feng seemed tireless as he stared intently at the tumors. These tumors were almost translucent. From the outside, one could see that some things were constantly flowing inside. Only after complicated transformations could a new tumor finally grow from division.

The cycle repeated and division continued, as if without end.

Somehow, Lin Feng seemed to have a new understanding.

"Lin Feng, wake up…"

Suddenly, Lin Feng seemed to hear someone calling him. The surrounding darkness disappeared at once, and the world spun. He could not help but fight to open his eyes.

Chapter 231: Energy Factory

Lin Feng opened his eyes. He looked around, but did not find anyone beside him.

"Lin Feng, you are finally awake. I thought you would never wake up again."

The one who spoke was Longbetham. Its voice appeared directly in Lin Feng's mind.

"How long was I asleep?"

"It has been three days."

"So, we've been in this ruin for more than three days?"

Longbetham did not answer, but Lin Feng knew very well that after three days, even Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi had probably lost hope in them.

He did not know if anything had happened to Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan. However, even if something had happened, there was nothing Lin Feng could do. He could barely protect himself now.

Lin Feng checked his mental power. The Mental Power Sphere in his mind had undergone self-recovery during the three days. In fact, he had already recovered a certain amount of mental power and did not feel dizzy anymore.

As for the injuries on his body, the undying characteristic was really miraculous. After three days, all the injuries on his body had recovered. There wasn't even a scar. It was as if he had never experienced that intense battle at all.

"I wonder if the lizards outside have left. If I go out now, will I encounter the lizards again?"

Lin Feng still wanted to go out. If he could take over the control room, the mission would be complete.

"Lin Feng, do not even think about leaving. This ruin must be a research institute, and the defense mechanism of the research institute has already been activated. Those biomodified beasts are actually the defense mechanism. They will not disappear before killing all the invaders. Once you leave this place, no one can guarantee that you would be still that lucky."

"Then what should I do? Am I trapped here until I die?"

Hearing Longbetham words, Lin Feng was also a little anxious. He couldn't possibly hide here forever, right? He was a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, and could actually survive without food for a month or two.

However, if this went on for too long, he would not be able to hold out either. He might even starve to death.

It would be a rare occasion indeed for a Metamorphic Realm martial artist to starve to death.

"Lin Feng, have you never thought of undergoing a second life transition and defeating those lizards? Although those lizards are biomodified beasts, they are just for show. Once you undergo the second life transition and master the combat body, forget about those three lizards, even 30 of them will not be enough of a match for you."

Longbetham tone was filled with disdain. In fact, neither those biomodified beasts nor the demons of this world impressed Longbetham. Even the combat power of Sages was nothing in Longbetham's eyes.

This was because be it demons, biomodified beasts, or Sages, none of them had cultivated the combat body!

"A second life transition? I'd like to, but it's too difficult. I don't even have a clue now."

Lin Feng thought for a moment. Actually, it wasn't that he had no clue at all. Previously, when he was on the verge of death, he had discovered the mysteries of the human body. They were simply profound. If he could continue to study the mysteries of the human body, there was a high chance that he could undergo a second life transition.

However, while a life transition might still be manageable, cultivating the combat body required a huge amount of energy.

"Longbetham, didn't you say that cultivating a combat body through life transition requires a huge amount of energy? I'm trapped here now. Where can I find energy?"

Lin Feng remembered very well that, as Longbetham had said on multiple occasions, condensing the combat body required massive energy. It was definitely not a small amount. Even if Lin Feng used 20,000 merit value to purchase energy, it might not be enough.

It was already very difficult to obtain a large amount of energy outside, let alone when he was still trapped in this ruin.

"Who said that you cannot obtain energy here? Take a closer look at what this place is."

Longbetham's words surprised Lin Feng. He slowly stood up and looked around carefully for the first time.

Initially, he thought that this was just a small hut. However, on closer inspection, he realized that he was gravely mistaken. This was not a small hut at all. It was practically a huge "factory".

Yes, it was a factory, and a "factory building".

The space was incomparably huge. Looking up, it was at least hundreds of meters tall, or even taller. There were scattered lights on the ceiling, like the night sky, and a few huge pipes connecting them.

Below were some complicated equipment, as well as some production lines and the like.

Ding.

Suddenly, a sparkling crystal seemed to have fallen from the pipe. It was transported to a small hut by the conveyor belt and piled up.

"What is this place?"

This was the first time Lin Feng had seen a place like this. There was clearly no one, but it was still operating.

"This is a production line for energy modules, or rather, an energy factory. To put it simply, the researchers of the seventh civilization converted the star power in the sky into substantial energy modules before storing them. This conversion system should operate automatically, and the energy consumed is also replenished by the energy modules. Therefore, in theory, as long as the conversion system is not damaged, this system can keep operating."

"You mean that a lot of energy might have been accumulated in this energy factory?"

Lin Feng understood somewhat now.

"That is right. There are many warehouses there. You can take a look."

Lin Feng followed Longbetham's instructions and opened a warehouse. It was sparkling everywhere inside. It turned out that it was already filled with a large amount of energy modules.

Then, there was the second warehouse, the third warehouse, and the fourth warehouse. Without exception, all of them were full.

The energy modules currently converted were piled up in the fifth warehouse, and more than half of the warehouse had already been filled.

"How miraculous. They can actually convert star power into physical energy modules. It's just incredible."

Lin Feng was very surprised. Currently, human technology did not have much research on Astral Power. It was only seen as a miraculous power that could be absorbed, transformed, and cultivated continuously by Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

But in reality, in terms of utilization rate, the current human civilization was far inferior to the seventh civilization.

"There is nothing incredible about it. This is the correct way to use star power. Your so-called martial artists in the present are actually cultivating star power. It is simply ridiculous. Even the Astral Power in the body of your Divine Realm martial artists is only equivalent to dozens or hundreds of energy modules. How much can that be worth?"

Lin Feng was silent for a while before asking, "What's the use of these energy modules?"

"They are very useful. For example, for this seventh civilization, all their terrifying weapons required large amounts of energy modules to operate. Also, spaceships need energy modules too. More importantly, their biomodified beasts, be it rats you encountered previously or lizards you encountered later, all of them actually need energy modules to support their movements. Do you understand now? The so-called Astral Power is actually just a form of energy!"

Looking at the mountain of energy modules in front of him, and then at the conversion system and production line that were still automatically converting the energy modules, Lin Feng's heart was already in turmoil.

Chapter 232: Cell Division

Lin Feng was so shocked that he even fell silent.

How could he not understand now? Humanity's way of martial arts had actually taken the wrong path. Human civilization had also taken the wrong path at the present.

Astral Power was indeed worth studying, but it was not about cultivating Astral Power. Instead, star power should be converted into energy modules and produced constantly. Weren't the defensive weapons in this ruin capable of threatening even Sages, just by relying on the accumulation of a large amount of energy modules?

With infinite energy, killing a Sage would be nothing.

This was also the advantage of technological civilizations in the universe. Some technological civilizations could even deal with great life forms at the galactic-level!

"Lin Feng, this much energy is enough for you to cultivate the combat body when completing your second life transition! Of course, the prerequisite is that you can undergo the second life transition. According to your cultivation system, it should be breaking the genetic lock for the second time!"

That's right. This many energy modules was enough for Lin Feng to condense any kind of combat body, but the prerequisite was that he could undergo a second life transition.

However, how could a second life transition be so easy?

It had only been a year since Lin Feng broke the genetic lock. Breaking the genetic lock again and undergoing a second life transition in a year was too fast. Even Lin Feng himself was not confident.

Moreover, Lin Feng only had a slight idea of direction now, and did not even have a hint of certainty. However, if he did not stay here and work hard to undergo a second life transition, he would be courting death if he went out.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Just as Lin Feng was about to take the risk and give it a try, the footsteps of two more lizards came from outside the door again. There was a faint roar. It seemed like these two lizards were determined to take Lin Feng down. They would not leave until Lin Feng was dead.

This also completely dispelled Lin Feng's intention to take the risk.

In that case, he might as well focus on researching the problem of the second life transition in this energy factory. Perhaps he could still gain something. Moreover, Lin Feng had already found a direction previously.

Lin Feng's direction was also very simple. It was to study the body!

Ever since Lin Feng broke the genetic lock, he seemed to have gone astray. He was only focused on fusing the genes of dire beasts or cultivating Astral Power, and did not study his own body properly at all.

Especially now that Lin Feng had strong mental power, his mental power could seep into his body and observe every slight change in his body in detail.

Lin Feng had various innate abilities, such as the strength ability, armor ability, Petrification ability, Sharp Horn ability, and the undying characteristic.

These various talents were actually abilities unleashed from the depths of genes. Lin Feng was currently using these talents as the foundation to observe the changes in his body, in an attempt to understand the mysteries of the human body.

Seeing that Lin Feng was immersed in comprehension, Longbetham did not disturb Lin Feng. In reality, it did not think much of Lin Feng either. However, if it "forced" Lin Feng now, he might be able to obtain unexpected gains.

"Armor."

Lin Feng used his armor ability. He "saw" it clearly. The cells began to release a strange energy in a unique manner, before forming a protective layer on the surface of the cells.

This was armor!

"Petrification Technique!"

Lin Feng used the Petrification Technique. They were both defensive talents, but the principles within his body were completely different. This Petrification Technique seemed to be an "strengthening" ability within his cells.

By "strengthening" the cells, the Petrification Technique could be formed to strengthen the body.

"Sharp Horn!"

Lin Feng continued to observe the Sharp Horn and realized that it still arose from a change in the cells. These cells began to transform on their own, gradually forming a special kind of cells that were different from other cells. They were like hedgehogs, possessing terrifying offensive power.

Lin Feng focused on studying the increments in strength. When he used his strength ability, his entire body would erupt with a powerful force. When he observed the cells, he realized that the cells expanded in an instant, becoming about twice, or even thrice the size of other cells.

The human body was composed of countless cells. The cells constantly divided, metabolized, and maintained the activities of the human body. Be it strength ability, armor ability, Sharp Horn, or so on, they all came from changes at the cellular level.

As for deeper levels, such as the interior of the cells, genes, and so on, Lin Feng did not have the ability to study them yet.

After observing so many abilities, there was actually one last one, which was also Lin Feng's most important ability, the undying characteristic!

Thump.

Lin Feng used his nails to scratch his fingers with all his might. Blood immediately dripped to the ground. This bit of pain was insignificant to Lin Feng. Not caring about the injury, he immediately used his mental power to inspect the wound.

At the location of the wound, Lin Feng could clearly feel that the cells were rapidly dividing at a speed ten or even dozens of times faster than usual, replacing the dead and damaged cells.

This shocked Lin Feng.

Normally, cells would divide constantly with metabolism, but the speed was relatively slow, and there was always a limit. However, his undying characteristic could actually increase the speed of cell division by ten or even dozens of times in an instant.

This was the only way for Lin Feng to recover quickly, no matter how severe his injuries. This was the undying characteristic!

An idea seemed to flash through Lin Feng's mind. He wanted to grasp it, but he felt that something was still missing. At this moment, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled the undying characteristic he had observed just now, and the constant division of his cells.

Cells could divide, but there had to be something supporting them. What was supporting them to divide so quickly?

Lin Feng even recalled the huge, mountain-like tumors that he saw in the darkness when he was asleep before.

There were extremely clear patterns on those tumors. Through various complicated transformations, they finally split into another tumor.

He carefully compared the scene to cell division again. Wasn't that cell division?

Could those tumors be cells?

Lin Feng was shocked. At the same time, the fog in his mind seemed to be blown away bit by bit. His mind became clearer and clearer, as if he had discovered some mystery about his body.

"Cells divide constantly. If I could control the division of the cells with my consciousness, what would happen?"

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's mind. Moreover, as soon as this thought appeared, he felt that it could not be restrained and could no longer be dispelled.

This was incomparably insane and bold. He could not wait to try it.

As for the danger? The unknown?

Lin Feng did not care at all. It was as if he had understood the mystery of the body, and could not wait to try it out immediately.

At this moment, Lin Feng mobilized the massive mental power in his body. He did not plan on controlling all the cells in his body to divide, but wanted to control a single cell.

This kind of attempt was nothing short of bold and insane, but Lin Feng was like a drowning man who wanted to hold on to the last straw. No one could stop him!

"Divide!"

Lin Feng growled. His massive mental power immediately seized control over a cell and began to divide it!

Chapter 233: Devouring Energy

Lin Feng had never tried to control the division of a cell before, but he was already attempting now. Gathering his massive mental power, he controlled a cell tightly like a heavy hammer.

"Divide!"

How tiny was a cell? Even a speck of dust was much larger than a cell. Lin Feng's mental power controlled the cell division with almost no difficulty.

Thus, the cell divided.

One, two, four, eight, sixteen…

Lin Feng was only controlling a single cell, but now, a large number of cells were dividing madly, and expanding exponentially. If it were a single cell, Lin Feng would not be exerting any effort at all. In fact, it would be very easy.

Then, two, four, eight, 16, and even the tens of thousands of cells would be somewhat difficult for Lin Feng. And what would happen with so many cells dividing?

Lin Feng was dividing a normal cell in his palm. As the cell continued to divide, Lin Feng felt as if his palm was tearing apart. It was growing rapidly at a visible speed.

This situation was just too bizarre, but as his cells divided, Lin Feng was overjoyed. He had found the direction. Wasn't this how life transitions happened?

"So the method of life transition has always been hidden in my body…"

Lin Feng did not know if this was how other people underwent life transitions, but he had gotten the inspiration from the undying characteristic. Then, he carefully studied his body and finally thought of a way to divide cells to complete the second life transition.

His cells divided countless times, but nothing untoward happened. Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He had to undergo a second life transition, become a Divine Realm martial artist, and cultivate the combat body to resolve the current crisis.

Hence, Lin Feng mobilized all his mental power and enveloped all the cells in his body.

"Divide!"

Boom.

The billions of cells in Lin Feng's body seemed to be shaking and cheering. Lin Feng's mental power immediately felt some pressure, but it was only some pressure.

After all, Lin Feng's Mental Power Sphere had already undergone a metamorphosis and reached the second level of the Bemond Mental Guidance Technique. If not for his formidable mental power, Lin Feng's method of life transition would be impossible.

"The transition is actually beginning? But this kind of transition method is really… unheard of!"

Longbetham was also paying close attention to Lin Feng. As a mechanical life form, it had seen many life transitions of experts, even those with three or four life transitions.

In reality, every lifeform underwent life transition in a different way. There was no specific way for life transition. Some lifeforms underwent life transition for no reason, while some lifeforms required some stimulation to complete a life transition.

Some lives focused on studying the body, thereby attaining life transitions.

Lin Feng also underwent life transition by studying his own body. However, Lin Feng used to method of cell division to undergo life transitions. What would this lead to?

This would cause Lin Feng to need a large amount of energy, even more than other lifeforms' life transitions. As his cells continued to divide, the more energy Lin Feng needed, the stronger the combat body he condensed would be.

The combat bodies were basically all about the same. There were various different focuses, but even the same type of combat body were divided into inferior and superior ones. This was actually based on the method of life transition.

Lin Feng's method of life transition was undoubtedly the most suitable method for battle. The combat body he condensed would also be the most suitable for battle!

This was relatively rare even in the universe.

Longbetham observed Lin Feng's life transition carefully. It did not disturb Lin Feng. At a time like this, Lin Feng could not be disturbed by anyone. Otherwise, all his efforts might be in vain.

As the cells continued to divide, Lin Feng's body continued to expand. However, cell division required a huge amount of energy. Where would the energy come from?

Some of the energy in Lin Feng's body, in addition to some Astral Power that had automatically recovered within three days, was converted into energy for his cells and disappeared without a trace.

But how could this little energy be enough?

Lin Feng felt that his entire body was very "famished". This hunger was transmitted from the depths of his cells. It was as if Lin Feng's entire body was hungry. At this moment, no matter how much food there was, he could consume all of it.

In reality, ever since Lin Feng broke the genetic lock for the first time, he had rarely experienced such hunger. He did not expect to be so hungry now.

"Quick, go to the first warehouse. There are a large number of energy modules there. Lin Feng, remember to condense the combat body and cultivate the combat body that you think is most suitable!"

Longbetham's voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind. This also reminded Lin Feng that he was undergoing a life transition. The amount of energy required for cell division in particular would be incredibly massive.

Coincidentally, this was an energy factory left behind by the seventh civilization. Moreover, the energy from the energy modules accumulated over the years was already an astronomical figure. No matter how much energy Lin Feng needed, he could find it here.

Hence, Lin Feng did not hesitate anymore. He immediately rushed into the first warehouse.

Many energy modules were piled up in the warehouse. In Lin Feng's eyes, these energy modules were simply the most delicious things in the world. He entered the warehouse directly. He only needed to press his hand on these energy modules to absorb a large amount of energy from them.

"Good, good, what abundant energy!"

Lin Feng was so comfortable that he even moaned. A large amount of energy surged into Lin Feng's body, and the speed of cell division in his body increased exponentially in an instant.

Lin Feng's body began to expand. The clothes on his body could no longer hold out. With a ripping sound, his clothes tore apart.

Lin Feng's shoes were also broke at once. At this moment, Lin Feng was already naked. His naked body was devouring energy like a whale guzzling water.

The energy modules in the huge warehouse were actually shrinking at a visible rate. It was enough to show how much energy Lin Feng was absorbing.

Of course, in the process of constant cell division, Lin Feng did not forget to cultivate the combat body. The Combat Body Guidance Technique stated that one had to use powerful mental power to guide the cells to restructure during the life transition, and finally cultivate the combat body.

Right now, Lin Feng's cells were constantly dividing. Lin Feng no longer needed to guide them with his mental power. They were still dividing automatically, and at a very fast speed.

The various combat bodies in the Combat Body Guidance Technique immediately appeared in Lin Feng's mind. Almost every combat body was firmly imprinted in Lin Feng's memory.

Right now, Lin Feng needed to choose a combat body. Every one of these combat bodies had a focus. There was no such thing as the strongest combat body, only the most suitable one. Hence, Lin Feng had to choose a combat body that was most suitable for him.

Chapter 234: Tidal Combat Body

There were dozens of constitutions in Lin Feng's mind. They were all painstakingly collected by Bemond, and some were even created by Bemond himself. There was no such thing as the strongest combat body, only the most suitable one. Lin Feng remembered this sentence firmly.

What kind of combat body was the most suitable for him?

Lin Feng was also pondering. He was undergoing a life transition through cell division. Cell division could increase strength, restorative ability, and so on.

Then, only a combat body focusing on these aspects would be more suitable for him.

Soon, Lin Feng discovered a type of combat body called the Tidal Combat Body.

This kind of constitution was created by a great galactic lifeform when witnessing cosmic catastrophes. The wave after wave of cosmic catastrophe were infinite as surging tides.

Hence, this kind of constitution had extremely strong defense. Its focus was defense. When attacking this combat body, it could only be destroyed by breaking it in one go. Otherwise, it would recover extremely quickly, and was very difficult to kill.

Of course, this kind of combat body also had very powerful strength.

Coupled with his own characteristics, Lin Feng felt that the Tidal Combat Body was actually very suitable for him. Therefore, Lin Feng did not hesitate any longer and chose the Tidal Combat Body. Details of the Tidal Combat Body naturally appeared in his mind.

Hence, Lin Feng began to guide the cells in his body to restructure constantly, arranging and reorganizing them according to the Tidal Combat Body.

This was a long process. Every time his cells divided and restructured, Lin Feng needed to use his mental power to guide them accurately. Hence, he needed extremely strong mental power. If Lin Feng was still at the first level of the Mental Guidance Technique, he would not be able to successfully condense the Tidal Combat Body at all.

As Lin Feng began to condense the Tidal Combat Body, his body also expanded further, and it expanded very regularly. Every time his cells were restructured, his body would expand once.

Originally, Lin Feng was only about over a meter tall. However, as his cells continued to divide and reorganize, and with the support of a large amount of energy, his body also began to expand rapidly.

Two meters, three meters, four meters, five meters…

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng expanded several times, turning into a small giant!

This was not an illusion, nor was it an "illusory" body. It was a real body, filled with terrifying power. Almost every time it expanded, Lin Feng's strength soared explosively.

Yes, soaring. Lin Feng felt that his strength was soaring at this moment. Originally, Lin Feng had more than 80,000 strands of Astral Power, which could theoretically unleash about 320,000 tons of strength.

Of course, that was only theoretical. For an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist, unleashing 9,999 strands of Astral Power was already slightly unbearable for their body, let alone over 80,000 strands of Astral Power in Lin Feng.

If it really erupted, even Lin Feng's body probably would not be able to withstand it.

However, with the strength of Lin Feng's body and the eruption of Astral Power, in terms of raw strength, it should not be a problem for him to exceed 10,000 tons of strength, or even reach tens of thousands of tons of strength.

Now, there was no longer any Astral Power in Lin Feng's body. All the Astral Power had been absorbed by his combat body as energy. His cells kept dividing and restructuring, and his body kept expanding.

Although he had no Astral Power, Lin Feng's strength increased explosively!

Fifty thousand tons, a hundred thousand tons, a hundred and fifty thousand tons…

Divine Realm experts were not evaluated by their strength. For instance, could the Void Bubble be measured by strength? However, when strength reached a certain level, it was definitely a standard of evaluation.

As Lin Feng's body expanded rapidly, his strength also increased rapidly. In the end, even Lin Feng himself could no longer calculate how strong he was.

When Lin Feng's body reached 10 meters, he already collided with the roof of the warehouse. However, Lin Feng's body did not stop expanding. Instead, it continued to expand and grow.

Eleven meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters…

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's body had grown to a height of 20 meters. Moreover, it still showed no signs of stopping and continued to grow.

This was what the combat body was!

Under normal circumstances, the combat body from the first life transition was only about 10 meters in size. Lin Feng had already missed the first life transition, but he did not miss the second life transition. He seized the opportunity.

In the second life transition, a combat body could generally reach over a hundred meters, or even hundreds of meters. Depending on the way a lifeform underwent life transition and the combat body it condensed, the height it could grow to in the end would actually differ.

Lin Feng did not know how tall he could grow in the end, and he was not in the mood to think about it now. All his energy was focused on condensing his combat body.

The Tidal Combat Body began to take shape slowly, and the speed far exceeded Lin Feng's expectations. This was because the Combat Body Guidance Technique made calculations according to the speed of ordinary life transitions, but Lin Feng's method of life transition was cell division.

The speed at which cells divided and condensed the combat body was simply astonishing. Of course, the energy consumed was also very shocking.

When Lin Feng's combat body reached 40 meters, the energy in the first warehouse had already been exhausted.

Forget about 20,000 merit value, such a huge amount of energy required was impossible to purchase even with 200,000 merit value.

Lin Feng was even a little glad that he had come to this ruin and found the energy factory. Otherwise, even with his life transition, the energy required to cultivate the Tidal Combat Body would be extremely troublesome.

If the cultivation of the combat body failed in the end due to a lack of energy, it would really be too late for regrets.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had sufficient energy in the energy factory this time, Lin Feng decisively condensed the Tidal Combat Body to its peak state. Hence, his 40-meter-tall body easily demolished the first warehouse with a single smack.

When he arrived at the second warehouse, Lin Feng gave the second warehouse another smack and easily dismantled it. The energy modules that were piled up in the warehouse immediately scattered all over the ground.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and absorbed the large amount of energy modules on the ground like a whale quaffing water.

Thus, his body continued to grow.

Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters, eighty meters…

At 80 meters, Lin Feng's body was already too huge, like a prehistoric behemoth.

The energy modules in the second warehouse were devoured, followed by the third warehouse.

Ninety meters, a hundred meters, a hundred and ten meters, a hundred and twenty meters…

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng came to the fourth warehouse.

A hundred and thirty meters, a hundred and forty meters, a hundred and fifty meters, a hundred and sixty meters…

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's body had already grown to 160 meters. Fortunately, in order to attract star power, the roof of the energy factory was very, very tall, reaching hundreds of meters. Moreover, the place was very spacious, enough to accommodate Lin Feng's current terrifying combat body.

There was still the fifth warehouse. Lin Feng went on to the fifth warehouse, which was still more than half filled with energy modules.

A hundred and seventy meters, a hundred and eighty meters, a hundred and ninety meters…

When Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body reached 190 meters, the speed at which it condensed clearly slowed down. Moreover, Lin Feng had a vague feeling of being "very full".

He knew that it was basically almost at the limit, but he did not give up and continued to condense.

A hundred and ninety-five meters, a hundred and ninety-eight meters, two hundred meters.

Finally, when the Tidal Combat Body reached 200 meters, Lin Feng stopped. He had a feeling of "perfection", as if his current combat body had reached its most perfect state.

Chapter 235: Second Life Transition

"So this is the Tidal Combat Body?"

Lin Feng raised his hand. His hand had already become a colossus that could easily crush a mountain with a single palm. At this moment, Lin Feng was like a towering giant in the myths, standing tall in the energy factory.

Even though the energy factory was huge, it was not that convenient for him to move around with his massive body.

A height of 200 meters was simply terrifying. It was about the height of a 50-story building.

"There's no Astral Power, nor any strange abnormal power, only raw power—the power of the combat body!"

Lin Feng was still sensing the combat body carefully. This combat body was actually just his body. There was nothing illusory about it. It was entirely a part of his body.

Moreover, unlike martial artists who had Astral Power or other powers, it was similar to those dire beasts, which relied purely on their own physical strength. One's own body was the strongest.

"Petrification Technique!"

Lin Feng tried to use the Petrification Technique, but there was no reaction.

"Armor."

There was no reaction either.

Next, there was no reaction for the Sharp Horn too. On the other hand, for the undying characteristic, Lin Feng's combat body seemed to have an astonishing restorative ability, similar to the undying characteristic.

However, Lin Feng knew that this was not the undying characteristic. After his second life transition, all his previous innate abilities had disappeared. To be precise, they had not disappeared, but were integrated into his combat body.

For example, the defense of Lin Feng's current combat body was shockingly strong. Even if he was injured, he could recover immediately. This was very similar to the armor, Petrification Technique, and the undying characteristic.

This was the characteristic of the Tidal Combat Body, which was very suitable for Lin Feng.

Such a massive combat body was already earth-shattering in the eyes of humans, like a prehistoric behemoth. However, in the vast universe, it was simply a drop in the ocean and far too insignificant.

In the cosmic cultivation system, the combat body was the only standard of measurement. How could one accommodate word-annihilating power without a massive combat body?

That would be nonsensical, and mythical.

The so-called deities were as insignificant as dust. How could they destroy a planet, or even a star? That was impossible. No matter how talented a lifeform was, it was impossible for its body to accommodate the energy to destroy a planet.

Even cultivators in the cosmic system followed scientific laws in a sense! After all, even something as powerful as a black hole, which could devour everything, including stars, was still several times larger than an ordinary celestial planet.

Although size could not determine everything, it could be used as a certain standard of measurement. Lin Feng's mere 200-meter-tall combat body was only a second life transition lifeform under the cosmic cultivation system.

With such a huge body, Lin Feng did not find it inconvenient to move. Instead, he was very agile.

Of course, agility was only relative.

The Tidal Combat Body's fortes were defense and strength. For strength, Lin Feng attempted Nonuple Body Tempering, but there was no reaction.

Actually, Nonuple Body Tempering was just a martial art created by the Invincible Fist Sage based on the structure of an ordinary human body. What use could it be for Lin Feng's current 200-meter body?

However, there were also secret techniques for the combat body. In the Combat Body Guidance Technique, every combat body had its own secret technique. However, these secret techniques were all secret techniques for explosive power. For example, if Lin Feng wanted to go all out in a fight at the risk of his life, he could use these secret techniques for explosive power. Using just the Tidal Combat Body, he could instantly unleash all the power contained in the combat body, and even expend a portion of the energy in the combat body to unleash extraordinary power.

Of course, it would cause some damage to the combat body, but it would be extraordinarily powerful.

As for techniques, in reality, there were no techniques on combat bodies. The path of the combat body was to be forefront and suppress others by force. What use were techniques?

When two combat bodies fought each other, the effects of hitting the head and the body were actually the same. Neither of them had any fatal flaws. It was purely a battle of brute force and energy consumption in the combat body!

The endurance of the Tidal Combat Body was obviously stronger, especially since Lin Feng's chose the method of cell division for his life transition, which caused his Tidal Combat Body to be far stronger than the Tidal Combat Body of ordinary lifeforms.

"Lin Feng, congratulations on your second life transition and mastering the Tidal Combat Body!"

Longbetham's voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind. It was obvious that Longbetham's tone was rather happy. Even though it did not think highly of Lin Feng's natural talent, it was a little surprised that Lin Feng could undergo a second life transition and even master the Tidal Combat Body in such a short period of time.

For the first time, it seemed to understand the meaning of impermanence in life.

In the vast cosmos, there were only too many talented lifeforms. Those powerful lifeforms that were born with four life transitions and matured with five life transitions found it very difficult to produce a planetary lifeform with six life transitions.

On the other hand, certain lifeforms with very poor natural talent and insignificant existences relied on their own hard work, struggles, and various opportunities to strive to advance in the vast universe. In the end, they instead underwent six life transitions and became great planetary lifeforms.

Life was impermanent. Every lifeform, no matter how lacking in natural talent, had infinite possibilities. Although mechanical lifeforms were considered the lifeforms least suited for cultivation, from what Longbetham knew, had not some mechanical lifeforms become planetary lifeforms too?

In fact, it was precisely for that glimmer of hope that Longbetham was willing to go through so much trouble, become the guardian of Bemond's legacy, and pilot the spaceship to find the fated individual.

Looking at Lin Feng's slightly confused and even somewhat juvenile face, for the first time, Longbetham felt that Lin Feng might not have relied entirely on luck to reach his current level.

"Lin Feng, what are you still leaving your combat body out for?

Only with Longbetham's reminder did Lin Feng remember that the combat body could be put away.

Hence, according to the method in the Combat Body Guidance Technique, his massive Combat Body began to shrink rapidly, eventually shrinking to Lin Feng's original size.

At this size, Lin Feng could still display strength far greater than that of a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. Just his physical strength alone was much stronger than that of ordinary Divine Realm martial artists.

However, that was all. If he wanted to increase his combat strength, he still had to release his combat body. He did not need to release his entire combat body, and could just release part of it.

For example, in the next moment, Lin Feng's body expanded to five meters in size. His entire body was filled with explosive power, making him feel as if he was omnipotent.

This was the second life transition. According to martial classification, he was now a true Divine Realm martial artist!

In reality, even at only five meters tall, Lin Feng's power already surpassed demon generals.

As for how strong he could become when he used his full combat body, even Lin Feng himself did not know. However, of all the martial artists he had seen, Lin Feng was confident that he could defeat everyone except Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi, including the renowned Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi among Divine Realm martial artists.

Perhaps Divine Realm martial artists were no longer Lin Feng's match. As for Meta-divine Realm martial artists or even Sages, Lin Feng would only know after fighting them.

Chapter 236: Not a Demon

Ever since Lin Feng had mastered the combat body, he had extraordinary control over his body. When he was restructuring his cells previously, he had already sensed something external in his body.

He extended his hand, and a metal sphere gradually condensed in his hand. It was the genetic fusion device.

The genetic fusion device had a certain supportive effect on martial artists who had undergone four life transitions or below, but this did not include Lin Feng, who had cultivated the combat body. After Lin Feng had cultivated the combat body, the current genetic fusion device was actually no longer of any aid to him.

Just as Longbetham had said, this genetic fusion device was only an "auxiliary aid". It was not directly helpful to life transitions, and only provided support.

Back when Lin Feng underwent his first life transition, he did not rely on the genetic fusion device either. Instead, he relied on his own comprehension in life-or-death situations to finally break the genetic lock for the first time, and complete his first life transition.

The greatest use of a genetic fusion device was to fuse with the genes of other dire beasts, allowing a martial artist's body to become stronger. Now that Lin Feng had mastered the combat body, what dire beast would be stronger than his combat body?

So, this genetic fusion device could not help Lin Feng in further life transitions, nor could it increase his physical strength. Naturally, it had become useless. To the mechanical civilization, the genetic fusion device was just a small gadget.

"Longbetham, can someone else use this genetic fusion device of mine?"

Lin Feng actually had an idea. Although this genetic fusion device was no longer useful to him, it was still very useful for professional martial artists, and even martial artists with their first life transition.

He could give them to his parents, or his sister, and so on. With it, they could improve their strength and gain more success in practicing martial arts with less effort. They might even have a chance to break the genetic lock.

However, Longbetham shook his head and said, "These genetic fusion devices have all been locked. Before you undergo four life transitions and accept the true legacy, no one else can use the genetic fusion devices. Of course, after your death, such restrictions will no longer apply."

Lin Feng was a little disappointed. He had wanted to let his parents and sister use it. However, on second thought, it wasn't entirely impossible. He had already undergone two life transitions. As long as he worked hard and strove for four life transitions to obtain the Bemond's true inheritance, all the genetic fusion devices would be unlocked. Then, wouldn't it be up to him to decide who could use it?

"Three or four days have passed. I wonder how Griman and the others are doing. I have to get out quickly."

Since Lin Feng had already undergone two life transitions and mastered the combat body, his strength had improved greatly. Naturally, he had nothing to fear from those three lizards.

Thus, he asked Longbetham to open the door to the energy factory.

Rumble.

As the door opened, however, Lin Feng realized that the lizards had disappeared.

"Where are the two lizards?"

Three days ago, Lin Feng had been hunted down by two lizards. In fact, after he hid in the energy factory, the two lizards would appear outside the door from time to time. Why was there no sign of them now?

"Could they have left to hunt down Griman and the others?"

Lin Feng thought of a possibility. If Griman and the others exposed their whereabouts, they would indeed be easily hunted down by the lizards.

At this thought, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He immediately rushed out and arrived at the control room.

As expected, the control room was also empty. There was no sign of any lizards.

"Longbetham, how long will it take for you to take over this ruin if I place you in the control room?"

"I cannot say for certain, but it should not be a problem to shut down the defensive weapons outside. About half an hour."

"All right, turn off the defensive weapons outside first. I'll look for Griman and the other two."

Hence, Lin Feng let Longbetham enter the control center of the control room. With Longbetham's ability, there should be no problem. Right now, Lin Feng had to worry about Griman and the others. He hoped that they would be fine.

…

In three days, Griman had recovered his Astral Power.

Thinking about how Lin Feng had lured away two lizards alone and created the conditions for him to escape, Griman was very touched. Hence, as soon as his Astral Power recovered, he immediately headed for the direction Lin Feng had escaped.

No matter what, he had to see if Lin Feng was all right. If Lin Feng was fine, he could still help Lin Feng.

When Griman came all the way to the control room, he realized that two lizards were wandering around the control room, but there was no sign of Lin Feng. His heart sank. Could something have happened to Lin Feng?

At this thought, Griman's heart ached deeply. He felt that Lin Feng traded his own life for his.

Originally, Griman wanted to continue searching for Lin Feng, but his whereabouts were discovered by the two lizards. Griman had no choice but to run.

Fortunately, there were way too many forks in the ruin. Moreover, they extended in all directions. By darting around continuously, Griman was not discovered by the lizards for a time.

And two days later, he also discovered Fu Lin and Dardan.

However, both Fu Lin and Dardan were in a miserable state. Both were seriously injured. Dardan had lost an arm, and Fu Lin was limping.

The three of them gathered and hid in a small room.

It wasn't until the third day that the lizards found the three of them. No one knew how they were found. Perhaps it was by tracking Fulin and Dardan's blood traces, but in any case, the lizards had found the three of them.

Leaning against the hard door, the three of them resisted with all their might.

However, as the door was gradually broken open with each slam, the three of them reached a life-or-death juncture.

"It's really the end for us this time."

Fu Lin looked a little weary. She had already been running for a few days, only to unexpectedly find that she still could not outrun death in the end.

"If only Leader were here. Griman, did you discover Leader's body or not?" Dardan gritted his teeth and asked.

"I didn't find any corpse. Perhaps it was devoured by them, but he might also still be alive. However, so what if he's alive?"

"Right. Leader can't defeat these three lizards either, but I still hope Leader can survive. It'd best if he can close the defense mechanism of the ruins and complete the mission while the three lizards are distracted by us."

"That's right. No matter what, we must complete the mission!"

Griman and the others were already prepared to die. They were not a match for even one lizard, let alone three.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

As the three lizards slammed into the door again and again, the door shook more and more violently.

Crunch.

Suddenly, the door was smashed open. The three lizards' ferocious eyes immediately landed on Griman and the others.

The three of them looked at each other, knowing that they were probably doomed this time.

"Let's fight with our lives. This time, I'll unleash my innate ability again and restrain them. Run as far as you can, but whether you're fortunate enough to escape this time will depend on your luck."

Griman took a deep breath. He unleashed his ability for Fu Lin and Dardan to escape. Whether the two of them could escape, Griman's death was certain.

"On the count of three, one, two, three, go!"

In an instant, Griman unleashed his innate ability. An invisible force enveloped the bodies of the three lizards.

However, just as Fu Lin and Dardan were about to give their all to escape, a loud bang came from behind the three lizards.

Boom.

It was as if a giant beast was stomping on the ground. The passageway and the room all shook violently.

Could it be an even stronger demon?

"No, it's not a demon. It's… it's Leader!"

Through the crack in the door, Fu Lin saw the familiar figure behind the three lizards. Her tone was incomparably excited!

Chapter 237: Divine Realm

"What? Leader?"

"It's really Lin Feng! Run! What are you doing here?"

Griman's eyes were bloodshot. What was Lin Feng doing here? Wasn't he courting death by coming at a time like this?

At this moment, the three lizards had already turned around and were staring at Lin Feng with bloodshot eyes.

It was indeed Lin Feng. However, there seemed to be something wrong with Lin Feng at this moment. When his foot landed on the ground, it emitted a heavy thud, attracting the attention of the three lizards.

It was these three lizards that had hunted Lin Feng down until he had nowhere to go. Now, he had finally found them.

Lin Feng glanced at the three of them. Fortunately, they were not injured. Hence, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips. "I've finally found you."

"Grr…"

As if provoked, the three lizards suddenly pounced towards Lin Feng. Back then, two of the lizards had pursued Lin Feng until he had nowhere to run, let alone the three lizards now.

This was the technological crystallization of the seventh civilization. The biomodified beasts created were comparable to peak demon generals.

"Hmph."

Lin Feng snorted coldly. At the same time, his body actually expanded rapidly. Originally, his body was only covered with the torn clothes from before. Now, as his body grew, his clothes immediately tore apart as well.

Lin Feng's body continued to expand. In the blink of an eye, he had expanded to more than five meters tall, looking like a small giant. He looked down coldly at the three lizards.

Although the three lizards were a little surprised, their intelligence was not that high. They were only artificially created biomodified beasts, slaughtering machines that were only bent on slaughtering, and only wanted to kill Lin Feng.

"Get lost!"

The three lizards pounced over. Lin Feng swung his fist and smashed at them directly. There was no technique, only the rawest clash of strength, meeting force with force.

Bang.

Lin Feng sent one of the lizards flying with a punch. At the same time, the other lizard opened its bloody mouth and bit on Lin Feng's arm.

However, Lin Feng's arm grew thicker again, and it seemed to be very tough. The lizard could not bite through it.

"Die!"

Lin Feng grabbed the lizard with both hands and twisted its head.

The originally muscular and powerful lizard that seemed to have infinite strength seemed like paper in Lin Feng's hands at this moment. He twisted hard with both hands.

Thump.

Lin Feng had actually twisted off the lizard's head. That was a peak demon general.

Lin Feng threw the decapitated lizard down. Even without its head, the lizard's corpse struggled a few times before going motionless.

There was still the third lizard. A trace of fear actually appeared in its eyes. Then, countless gray rays suddenly shot out from the dense, spiderweb-like eyes on its head.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He knew about these gray rays. They could destroy all defenses and were extremely bizarre.

He hurriedly blocked with his hand, and his palm immediately expanded like a fan, blocking Lin Feng's entire body.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Lin Feng could sense the heat, but it was like a mosquito bite. He retracted his hand and took a closer look, but not even his skin was broken.

Only at this moment did Lin Feng truly realize how strong he was now, and how powerful his Tidal Combat Body was!

"Haha, creatures, let's see where you can run this time!"

Lin Feng threw his head back and laughed aloud. His entire body grew a few meters taller. The two lizards actually wanted to escape, but just as they turned around, Lin Feng grabbed their tails with one hand. The two lizards frantically tried to snag the ground with their sharp claws, but only left deep scratches on the ground in futility as Lin Feng lifted them upside down.

"Hyah!"

Lin Feng grabbed the tails of two lizards and smashed them into the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He smashed again and again. Lin Feng seemed to be grabbing two tiny mice instead of two demon generals as he smashed them with all his might.

After smashing them for more than ten or twenty times, the two lizards were already badly mangled. Their heads had been smashed in, and there was no longer any sign of life in them.

Thump.

Lin Feng tossed away the corpses of the two lizards and went straight to the door. He grabbed either side of the door and tore hard.

There was a ripping noise.

The door was ruthlessly ripped open, revealing a huge crack.

"You can come out now."

Lin Feng said to the person inside.

Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan looked at each other. They walked out of the house one after another, but when they looked up at Lin Feng, who was like a small giant, they found it somewhat incredulous, even absurd.

They had seen with their own eyes just now that the three previously ferocious and invincible lizards were actually killed by Lin Feng with ease, as if it's a parlor trick to him. Moreover, his methods were extremely brutal.

Furthermore, Lin Feng did not look anything like a martial artist now.

"You… Are you really Lin Feng?" Dardan stammered in disbelief.

"Dardan, you don't recognize me?"

"Lin Feng, did you break the genetic lock again and become a Divine Realm martial artist?" Griman seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly.

"That's right. I broke the genetic lock and reached the Divine Realm!"

Lin Feng immediately shrunk his body. However, he was still naked, Even though Lin Feng was used to extraordinary experiences, he still felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment, especially with a female martial artist like Fu Lin around.

Fu Lin hurriedly turned around. Lin Feng said awkwardly, "Can anyone give me some clothes? The martial arts I practice are a little special, so…"

"Wear mine."

Griman took off a shirt for Lin Feng to put on for the time being to stop the situation from being too awkward.

Looking at the blood on the ground and the corpses of the three lizards, Grimm and the other two sighed. Lin Feng was actually the first to reach the Divine Realm they had always coveted.

It had to be known that Lin Feng had only broken the genetic lock for a year!

Even though Griman was also known as a genius, and even though Fu Lin and Dardan were both called rare geniuses, they could not even feel jealous when facing Lin Feng.

This had already exceeded their understanding.

How could anyone break the genetic lock for the second time within a year? Even the Nine Sages could not possibly become Divine Realm martial artists in such a short period of time.

But no matter what, Lin Feng had already become a Divine Realm martial artist. Moreover, he had killed three peak demon generals and saved their lives.

It appeared that they could complete the mission now.

"I've found the control room. We can go to the control room and try to shut down the defense mechanism of the ruins."

Lin Feng explained briefly to the three of them, then led them to the control room.

Only Griman stared at Lin Feng's back thoughtfully.

He could clearly sense that when Lin Feng was fighting the three lizards just now, there was no fluctuation of Astral Power at all. Forget about Divine Realm martial artists, even a Meta-divine Realm martial artist or a Sage would mainly utilize Astral Power in battle.

There was no fluctuation of Astral Power on Lin Feng's body at all, yet he could easily kill three peak demon generals. Was this even possible?

Moreover, Lin Feng's body had expanded into a small giant just now. Lin Feng's explanation was that he cultivated a special Astral martial art.

Grimm was experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never heard of such a miraculous martial art that could make a person's body expand so rapidly in an instant.

However, Lin Feng had saved him in the end. Griman could only bury these doubts in his mind.

Chapter 238: Taran Civilization

Lin Feng led Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan to the control room successfully. They did not encounter any danger in the meantime.

According to what Longbetham had said, this ruin should be a research institute of the seventh civilization. The strongest defense mechanism inside was probably the three lizards.

After Lin Feng dealt with the three lizards, they could naturally come to the control room without obstruction.

"This is the control room?"

This was the first time Fu Lin and the others had come to the control room. They looked at the myriad of buttons. There was no way they could take over such a sci-fi control room.

Hence, they could only immediately open the chip that Sage Kang had given them, hoping to find some solutions from it.

Griman tried to contact them through the communicator, but there was no signal from it either.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, calmly came to the big screen in the control room. At this moment, Longbetham returned to Lin Feng's communicator and said in Lin Feng's mind, "This ruin is indeed a research institute. In about ten minutes, I will be able to completely deactivate the defense mechanism."

"That's great. You don't have to take over the ruins. When the time comes, I'll contact Sage Kang and ask them to send professionals into the ruins. By the way, make it more realistic when you turn off the defense mechanism. Don't get discovered."

"You do not have to worry about these things. Of course I know. However, there are many beneficial things in this ruin. There is also a message hidden within. Would you like to know?"

"What message?"

"There's some information regarding the Taran civilization, that is, the seventh civilization. They call themselves the Taran civilization. There is some information regarding the reason for the destruction of the Taran civilization."

"There's such a message? Show me."

Hence, a message quickly appeared in Lin Feng's mind. It had already been automatically translated into words that Lin Feng could recognize.

This message was left behind by an ordinary researcher at the research institute.

Originally, the Taran civilization was at its apex and had even conquered many areas. Some dire beast hordes were also controlled by the Taran civilization, and the Taran civilization even attempted to break out of the Canopy.

However, one day, a terrifying behemoth appeared. The word "behemoth" was used in the message. According to the description, the behemoth was so massive that it was unimaginable.

As soon as the behemoth appeared, it began to destroy the Taran civilization. Moreover, the behemoth appeared able to command other dire beasts. Hence, under the continuous siege of a great many dire beasts and the behemoth, the Taran civilization came to a critical moment of life and death.

The Taran civilization had a central computer that controlled the daily operation of the entire civilization. It was the product of the intelligence of the Taran civilization. However, as the behemoth trampled on the Holy City and destroyed the central computer, the Taran civilization collapsed in an instant.

Everyone in the Taran civilization was called to battle. Everyone in the research institute also retreated from the institute. Then, they activated the defense mechanism and never returned.

This message was very short and simple, but some of the information revealed shocked Lin Feng.

The Taran civilization was undoubtedly a highly advanced technological civilization. Just by looking at this research institute and the defense mechanism capable of threatening Sages, it was obvious that the Taran civilization was definitely stronger than the current human civilization.

However, such a powerful civilization had actually been destroyed. Moreover, those researchers left and never returned. All traces of the Taran civilization seemed to have been erased.

The "behemoth" was mentioned repeatedly in this message. Could this behemoth be what destroyed the Taran civilization?

But no matter what, the Taran civilization had been destroyed by an external force. How strong must this force of destruction be, that it could destroy such a powerful civilization?

Lin Feng did not dare to think about it.

"Longbetham, with our current technological ability, can we translate this information?"

"You can definitely translate it. This message is not that complicated. It can be translated in about three months."

"Since it can be translated, leave this message as it is and don't modify it."

Lin Feng pondered. Why was the Taran civilization destroyed?

Or rather, why were the first eight civilizations destroyed?

It had to be known that any race that could be considered a civilization must be massive. They must have powerful martial strength. For example, despite the many dire beasts in the Outland in the present, they could not be considered a dire beast civilization.

If the destruction of a civilization only occurred once, it might still be a natural disaster. However, if the destruction of civilizations occurred for a total of eight times, it would be out of the ordinary. Since the first eight civilizations could be destroyed, would human civilization be destroyed as well?

"Longbetham, you've been in this world for so long. You should know the real reason for the destruction of the Taran civilization, right? Or rather, do you know what the real reason for the destruction of the first eight civilizations is?"

Lin Feng asked Longbetham. He did not believe that Longbetham would not know.

Longbetham was silent for a long time before answering slowly, "Your world is a little special. When I landed in your world back then, your world was still at the end of the second civilization. As for the reason for its destruction, I do know. However, this is not something you can deal with now. If you can undergo four life transitions one day, I will tell you everything I know."

Lin Feng pondered.

It was obvious that Longbetham knew the reason behind the destruction of the first eight civilizations. In fact, Longbetham was either unwilling or afraid to say it. That meant that even with Lin Feng's current second life transition and cultivation of the Tidal Combat Body, he still could not resolve the crisis.

Longbetham was unwilling to say it, and Lin Feng did not force it. However, he already had a faint sense of crisis.

Perhaps the Nine Sages knew something, which was why they were so eager to find technology in ancient civilizations to enhance the overall strength of humanity.

"The defense mechanism has been switched off. Lin Feng, you just need to press that red button by accident, and the defense mechanism will be completely switched off. At that time, communication will not be a problem."

Just as Lin Feng was deep in thought, Longbetham's voice sounded again. It turned out that the defense mechanism could already be switched off.

Lin Feng naturally saw the red button that Longbetham mentioned. The reason why he did not ask Longbetham to turn off the defense mechanism directly was to avoid suspicion.

Hence, Lin Feng said to Griman and the others, who were frowning and thinking hard, "Come over quickly."

"What is it?"

Fu Lin and the others walked over and looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

Lin Feng pointed at the red button and said with a serious expression, "I took a look just now. There are many devices here, but this red button is so eye-catching and is placed in the middle. I suspect that it's the control center. Should we press it and give it a try?"

Griman and the others were all a little hesitant. What if it was very dangerous?

However, when they thought about how Lin Feng had already reached the Divine Realm and the strength he had displayed previously, even if there was any danger, Lin Feng could deal with it. In any case, they had no clue, so they might as well give it a try.

"I agree. Let's give it a try."

"That's right. I agree too."

Griman and the others all agreed to it. Hence, Lin Feng did not wait anymore. He immediately reached out and pressed the red button.

Chapter 239: Rewards from Sages

Beep.

As Lin Feng pressed the red button, the screens in the control room seemed to light up.

"That's the outside?"

"The surveillance cameras are on!"

"There are surveillance cameras in every cabin. Look at those rat dire beasts. They've all retreated."

"Eh? I think my communicator has a signal again."

"The defense mechanism must have been switched off."

Everyone was overjoyed. Lin Feng also heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

Now that the defense mechanism was switched off and the communicator had a signal, everyone immediately contacted Sage Kang.

When Sage Kang received the call from Lin Feng and the others, he was overjoyed. They had originally thought that Lin Feng and the others had failed, and did not expect the mission to actually be successful.

"Wait inside. Sage Yuanyi and I will bring people over immediately!"

Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi gathered a multitude of personnel as quickly as possible and rushed over. As expected, the defensive weapons outside the ruins did not react at all and no longer posed a threat to the Sages.

When Sage Kang led many scientists and martial artists into the control room and saw Lin Feng, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, we were fortunate enough to fulfill our mission and deactivate the defense mechanism. It's just that we haven't taken over the ruins yet. We need the scientists brought by the Sages to work on it. Also, six of the ten people who entered this time are dead…"

"They are all heroes! I will award all six of them with the Hero of Humanity Medal. All of you will be Heroes of Humanity!" Sage Kang said firmly and decisively.

"Hero of Humanity Medal?"

Griman and the others were overjoyed. Lin Feng did not think much of it. After all, he had already obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal, but Griman and the others had not.

Thinking of the various benefits brought by the Hero of Humanity Medal, Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan all felt that this trip was really worth it. Not only did they obtain 20,000 merit value, they also obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal.

"By the way, you can tell us about what you encountered after entering the ruins, and how you switched off the defense mechanism."

Lin Feng already expected the two Sages to inquire about them, so he explained everything that had happened after coming to the ruins. Apart from the matters of the energy factory absorbing energy and him condensing the combat body, he explained everything in detail to the two Sages.

"You mean, you underwent a second life transition and became a Divine Realm martial artist?"

Sage Kang was a little surprised as he stared intently at Lin Feng.

"Yes, I've already undergone two life transitions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill those three demon generals."

Lin Feng did not conceal it. Moreover, with Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan around, he could not conceal it either.

"A 21-year-old Divine Realm martial artist…"

Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Previously, Lin Feng had broken the genetic lock and become an inhuman expert, even shocking the world with a single feat in the Global Martial Arts Competition. However, in reality, the Sages did not think much of it.

After all, there were many geniuses among humans, such as Griman, Lu Chen from back then, and so on.

But how many of them could really undergo four life transitions?

There was probably not a single one. Only Dongfang Sheng still had a trace of hope. However, even Dongfang Sheng had only undergone the second life transition and reached the Divine Realm at the age of 30.

Lin Feng was only 21 years old, but he had already become a Divine Realm martial artist. He was definitely the youngest Divine Realm martial artist in history. It had to be known that in ancient times, the Divine Realm martial artists were deities that possessed all kinds of incredible abilities.

Moreover, Sage Yuanyi and Sage Kang both knew that up until now, Lin Feng had only broken the genetic lock for a year. It's incredible that he could undergo another life transition in a year.

However, be it Griman, Fu Lin, or Dardan, all of them swore that Lin Feng had indeed become a Divine Realm martial artist.

"Lin Feng, you contributed the most to turning off the defense mechanism in the ruins this time. Other than 20,000 merit value, what else do you want? Yuanyi and I can make the call."

Indeed, the greatest contributor to being able to shut down the defensive mechanism of the ruins was Lin Feng. If not for Lin Feng, Griman and the others would probably have been annihilated this time.

Moreover, Lin Feng already had the Hero of Humanity Medal. Sage Kang could not just award two Hero of Humanity Medals to Lin Feng. As for the highest honor of humanity, the Meritorious Service for Humanity, it was still impossible for him to award it to Lin Feng now.

After all, all the recipients of Meritorious Service for Humanity were Sages, and needed a contribution comparable to turning the tide and saving almost all of humanity to obtain the Meritorious Service for Humanity Medal. Lin Feng's current contributions were still somewhat lacking.

Hence, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi also wanted to compensate Lin Feng. They simply asked Lin Feng to make his terms directly.

"What do I want?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment. What exactly did he want? If he had not undergone a second life transition yet, he would definitely want as much merit value as possible. There was no such thing as too much merit value when all of it would come in useful. At least it could be used to purchase some energy.

But now, he already had enough merit value. Moreover, there was still a long time before he could undergo a third transition. Now was not the time to accumulate energy.

Then what did he want?

After some thought, Lin Feng said hesitantly, "Sage Kang, due to the incident in Stone City last time, I was deployed to the South Mountain Base by the academic faction, and have to guard it for a full year before I can take a leave. It's been a long time since I visited my family, so I'd just like a leave."

"A leave?"

Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi looked at each other, not sure whether to be dismayed or amused. Was the prestige of two Sages only worth applying a leave for Lin Feng?

Even the thought of it felt undignified.

Sage Kang pondered for a moment before saying, "It's only right that you're granted leave. I'll make the decision on Invincible's behalf. You are granted three months of leave. Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough. Thank you, Sage!"

Three months of leave was extremely precious for Lin Feng. It was assuredly enough. However, to Sage Kang, it was a small matter indeed and insufficient to reward Lin Feng for making such a huge contribution.

Hence, Sage Kang continued, "Since you've already become a Divine Realm martial artist, it's no longer appropriate for you to guard the South Mountain Base. How about this? Since you'd like to reunite with your family, you can be the Legate of Central Sea City!"

"The Legate of Central Sea City?"

Lin Feng was stunned. This was simply great news. Although staying at the frontline was quite good, how could it compare to being the Legate of Central Sea City and being able to accompany his family?

"Lin Feng, are you willing to be the Legate of Central Sea City?"

"Yes, I'm willing!"

Lin Feng agreed immediately with almost no hesitation at all. This was a great thing. Even many Divine Realm martial artists could not become Legates so easily, let alone be the Legate of their hometown.

Seeing Lin Feng's excited expression, Sage Kang smiled as well. He continued, "You don't have to be so happy so prematurely. Let's make it clear first, you can only serve as Legate for three years at most. Once the three years are up, you must go to the frontline."

"Understood."

Lin Feng naturally knew about the new policy for martial artists. Even if he was the Legate, he could not hold the position for long. Once the deadline was up, he had to go to the frontline.

"All right, you're all tired. Go back to the base and rest first."

Sage Kang waved his hand, allowing Lin Feng and the others to leave the ruins and return to the base.

Looking at Lin Feng's departing back, Sage Yuanyi suddenly said, "The fluctuations from descending star power are incredibly great for a Divine Realm martial artist. How come we haven't found anything?"

With the astuteness of the Sages, how could they have not noticed Lin Feng's uniqueness?

"Lin Feng has secrets. I didn't sense any Astral Power fluctuations from his body, but his physical body is too strong, even stronger than those demon generals! It's also true that he killed those three demon generals. Looks like he obtained an extraordinary legacy."

Sage Kang narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully.

"You're saying that Lin Feng had obtained the legacy of an ancient civilization before?"

"Perhaps. How can such a genius who rose within such a short period of time not have any fortuitous encounters? Among the Nine Sages, which of us never had any fortuitous encounters? Back then, if I hadn't obtained the legacy of an ancient civilization, I wouldn't have been able to undergo four life transitions either. Yes, Lin Feng's secret must be kept. I think very highly of him. He even has a better chance than Dongfang Sheng."

"You mean the chance of becoming the tenth Sage? Elder Kang, you do have high hopes for this little fellow."

"We might not have much time left. The more power we have, the more hope humanity has…"

With that, Sage Kang retracted his gaze. This ruin was the most important thing at the moment.

Chapter 240: Changing Forms

Lin Feng returned to the base where Sage Kang and the others were. He bade farewell to Griman and the others before returning to his room to rest.

Lin Feng had completed this mission satisfactorily. Although many people had died, it was not Lin Feng's responsibility. Moreover, they had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. Their deaths could be considered worthy.

Lin Feng had gained a lot from entering the ruins this time. Not only had he undergone a second life transition, he had also cultivated the Tidal Combat Body. Even Lin Feng himself did not know how strong he was.

However, what he was even more excited about was that he could go home and become the Legate in Central Sea City! Even though the order had not been passed down yet, with Sage Kang's guarantee, the order to be the Legate in Central Sea City would definitely come in the next few days.

Lin Feng had yet to completely familiarize himself with and adapt to the Tidal Combat Body.

He extended his hand. With a thought, his arm expanded rapidly. Now, Lin Feng could already control the Tidal Combat Body to erupt in a certain part of his body.

Lin Feng felt a little awkward when the Tidal Combat Body was retracted. Actually, after his genes were restructured, his 200-meter-long body could be considered his true form.

As for his present state, it came from forcefully compressing his cells to "transform" back. To maintain this form, Lin Feng had to suppress his combat body at all times.

Fortunately, Lin Feng's mental power was very strong, so he was not afraid of being unable to suppress it.

The Tidal Combat Body was good in every aspect, but there was one thing that Lin Feng could not let go of. Once he used the Tidal Combat Body, his entire body would be naked, and every part of his body would become larger.

At that time, he would be completely naked. Some things were just too eye-catching. Back in the ruins, Fu Lin's face was flushed because Lin Feng was completely naked at that time. It was too embarrassing.

"Longbetham, is there a way for me to use my combat body without being naked?"

Lin Feng was human, after all, and had a sense of morality and shame. It felt too awkward to be naked like that in every battle

"According to your human sense of morality, it is indeed somewhat inappropriate to be naked. However, this matter is actually very easy to resolve. Every time the great master uses the combat body, we do not see Master naked either. You can already restructure cells and control the cells. Is it that difficult to conjure a layer of armor?"

"Armor? But my innate ability of armor doesn't seem to be working anymore."

"Why would this require any innate ability? Your combat body is so strong. Is it that difficult for you to rearrange the cells a little?"

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. That's right. The combat body was so massive, and with his powerful mental power, rearranging a few cells would not affect the combat body at all.

However, it could conceal certain parts of his body very well.

"I see!"

Having understood, with a thought, a layer of black cuticle scales immediately appeared on his arm. They were densely packed, like a layer of armor, and quickly covered Lin Feng's entire body.

"The so-called innate abilities are actually some changes in arrangement on the cellular level. All your dire beast genes have integrated into your combat body. You can also control cells. This minor innate ability is nothing. If you can understand the cellular arrangement of certain dire beasts, you can even become a dire beast!"

"Changing forms?"

Lin Feng was stunned. That's right. He could already control the changes on the cellular level now.

If he could understand the cellular arrangement of a Wild Bovine, he could even control the cells and transform into a Wild Bovine. Moreover, it would be a real Wild Bovine. It would be completely different from certain illusions, but one that had changed forms from the inside out, and was no different from a real Wild Bovine.

If there was any difference, it would probably be the difference in genes.

The ability to transform into anything was an ability of the myths, but could humans really transform into anything? At least, Lin Feng could do what Longbetham had said about transforming into those dire beasts.

However, how complicated was the cellular arrangement of those dire beasts? It was already extremely difficult to study just one type of dire beast, let alone memorize its cellular arrangement.

Moreover, even if Lin Feng transformed into a Wild Bovine, what use was it?

Apart from being a novelty and spectacle, what else could it do?

"Longbetham, didn't you say that there are natural planetary lifeforms in the cosmos? If I study the cellular arrangement of planetary lifeforms thoroughly, will I be able to transform into a planetary lifeform?"

Lin Feng quickly thought of a "shortcut" in cultivation.

He could control cells. Transforming into an ordinary dire beast was definitely not worth it. There were no benefits at all. But what about transforming into those planetary lifeforms?

"Your idea is very good. Looks like you are not stupid either. You can indeed transform into those planetary lifeforms. However, those planetary lifeforms all have unimaginable amounts of cells. Forget about the number of cells you have now, even if you undergo another life transition, or four or five life transitions, you will still be far from comparable to a planetary lifeform. If you do not even have enough cells, how can you transform?

"Only by becoming a planetary lifeform can you transform into those natural planetary lifeforms. But then, what is the use? The combat body you cultivate is already the form most suitable for you. What would be the point of transforming into other planetary lifeforms?"

Lin Feng fell silent. On careful thought, this made sense. The combat body was already powerful enough, and it was the most suitable form for him. Transforming into another lifeform would be meaningless.

It seemed like some in the universe had long thought of these "wondrous ideas" of his, but they were all impractical.

"Actually, it is not completely impractical. Some natural planetary lifeforms have certain highly unique abilities that can be very useful under special conditions. However, studying a planetary lifeform thoroughly is just too difficult, and may be very time-consuming. If you have the time for it, you may as well think about how to further your life transitions."

Lin Feng did not know if Longbetham was right. He planned to find some time to study the cellular arrangement of some dire beasts and see how complicated it was.

However, with Longbetham's hint, Lin Feng could easily change the arrangement of some cells. His body was quickly covered in a layer of black scales.

At least this solved the problem of being naked every time he used his combat body. In fact, the black scales were not too attractive either, and looked similar to dire beasts. Lin Feng continued to study it for a while, before finally changing into a layer of gray armor.

It did not look too abrupt. Every time he used his combat body, no matter how massive it was, his body would be covered in such a "mighty" armor.

This "armor" was actually useless in battle. It was simply an "adornment".

However, at least when Lin Feng was fighting, he did not have to be as awkward in front of others as before.

Chapter 241: Purchasing an Airship

Beep.

Lin Feng's communicator suddenly beeped with a reminder.

"The 10,000 merit value has been transferred?"

Lin Feng hurriedly logged into the Martial Domain Network to check his account.

As expected, Lin Feng already had 27,307 merit value in his account. Before, he only had 17,307. As he had completed the mission, the subsequent 10,000 merit value in reward was also distributed.

Even many Divine Realm experts might not be able to obtain so much merit value, but what should he buy with it?

Lin Feng did not lack cultivation techniques now. As for martial arts, they were actually useless to Lin Feng. He had already embarked on the cosmic cultivation system and cultivated the combat body. Even the martial arts used by Sages were useless to Lin Feng.

Certain miraculous items might be useful for Lin Feng's mental power, but Lin Feng was not in a hurry to improve his mental power right now. After all, he had just undergone a second life transition. Be it his mental power or his combat body, it was necessary to stabilize, familiarize with and polish both.

Advancing too quickly was not necessarily a good thing. At least for now, Lin Feng had not even completely familiarized himself with his Tidal Combat Body. This all required time.

"Right, it's too troublesome to take the airship home this time. I still have to wait for the airship. Can I buy an airship? Then traveling anywhere will be very convenient in the future."

Lin Feng was moved by the thought. Airships, especially small airships, could only be purchased by those of the wealthy class, and they had to be people with certain privileges.

For example, some transportation companies could purchase airships, and some officials and dignitaries could also purchase airships.

As for martial artists, ordinary martial artists were not allowed to purchase them. On the other hand, Metamorphic Realm martial artists benefited from the new policy for martial artists that was introduced not long ago, which raised the status of martial artists.

Hence, Metamorphic Realm martial artists could also be purchase airships, not to mention that Lin Feng was now a Divine Realm martial artist!

With an airship, Lin Feng could even visit Qu Chen at the Polar Academy frequently in the future. He could travel there and back within a day. It would be really convenient.

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more tempted he became, but the amount of money required to purchase an airship was simply astronomical. Lin Feng did not have that much money. However, everything could be found on the Martial Domain Network. There were only too many goods the five major factions had put on sale.

Hence, Lin Feng quickly found the airship under the academic faction panel.

The Martial Domain Network was indeed worthy of a platform controlled by the five major factions. One could find anything here, even airships.

There was a wide array of dazzling airships, from large transport airships mainly for transporting goods, to small airships that carried about a hundred passengers.

There were also miniature airships, which could only accommodate about 30 people.

There were also armed airships among these airships. The firepower they were equipped with was rather powerful, and could even pose a threat to ordinary demons. However, these armed airships were extremely expensive. After all, as everyone knew, ordinary firearms were useless against dire beasts. It was obvious how precious weapons that could injure demons were.

Lin Feng did not choose large airships. The fuselages of those large airships were too huge. They had to be parked in special lots every time, which was very inconvenient.

As for armed airships, Lin Feng did not consider them at all. With his strength, what need was there for weapons? It was simply a waste.

Moreover, what Lin Feng needed was a personal airship, not something to carry passengers or for business. Hence, he did not consider the small airships either. From the rest, he could only choose a miniature airship.

Most of these miniature airships were between ten and 100 meters long, and could carry ranging from a few to dozens of passengers.

What Lin Feng needed was a private airship. It had to be fast. It would be best if the interior decorations were more luxurious and comfortable. This way, long flights would not be too exhausting.

Hence, Lin Feng chose a miniature airship. The fuselage was only 15 meters long, so it could be considered a very miniature airship. It could only accommodate a dozen or so passengers.

It was extremely fast, and could reach up to five times the speed of sound!

Moreover, the facilities inside were very luxurious. There was even a bed that could be used for rest. This was specially prepared for the extremely wealthy and some Meta-divine Realm martial artists.

Hence, the price was also exorbitant. Just this airship alone cost 18,000 merit value.

Even the sum of all the wealth of many Divine Realm martial artists did not add up to 18,000 merit value, and even Meta-divine Realm martial artists could not all afford such an airship.

However, Lin Feng was very tempted. He currently had more than 20,000 merit value, and could entirely afford to purchase such an airship.

Although he was only a Divine Realm martial artist now, and it seemed a bit of a waste to purchase such an airship, with his current strength, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he specialized in hunting those greater demons. Why would he need to worry about merit value?

Moreover, with this extremely fast airship, it would be very convenient for him to travel anywhere in the future.

At this thought, Lin Feng was persuaded.

"I'll buy it!"

Lin Feng no longer hesitated and immediately bought this airship. in Feng had the Hero of Humanity Medal and could get a 20% discount for the 18,000 merit value. It cost a total of 14,400 merit value.

"Beep. Thank you for your purchase. Your miniature airship will arrive at your base in three days. Please take note and receive it!"

Lin Feng received a notification. He checked the merit value in his account again. There was only 12,907 merit value left.

After purchasing the airship, Lin Feng decided he might as well purchase some things for his family. It had to be known that the items in the Martial Domain Network's online shop were not available for sale in ordinary places. They were all very precious.

After all, every bit of merit value was very precious.

Lin Feng bought a lot of things, but only spent seven merit value. Compared to the merit value spent on the airship, cultivation techniques, martial arts, and so on, the pure consumer goods Lin Feng bought for his family were shockingly cheap.

Of course, they were only relatively cheap. These things could not be purchased outside, and cost seven merit value. In reality, they were also very expensive. After all, ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists could only obtain five merit value a year at the frontline.

Lin Feng spent seven merit value just to buy some pure consumer goods for his family. To ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists, this was far too extravagant.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The airship Lin Feng had purchased had arrived at the base.

Vroom.

Lin Feng heard a rumble outside the door. A beautiful miniature airship landed on the ground. Many martial artists were staring at the airship and discussing excitedly.

"What a beautiful airship."

"Of course. This is the latest model manufactured by Deep Blue Corporation. It is one of the most luxurious miniature airships in the world. On the Martial Domain Network, it costs as much as 18,000 merit value."

"What, 18,000 merit value? Oh my god, even Divine Realm martial artists probably can't afford it. Which Meta-divine Realm martial artist from our base bought this?"

"There are only a few Meta-divine Realm martial artists in our base. None of them have private airships. It doesn't seem like they would buy such an expensive private airship. Could Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi have bought it?"

Looking at the beautiful and luxurious airship, envy appeared in the eyes of many martial artists. This was like ordinary people looking at those top-notch supercars. Every martial artist dreamed of owning such an airship.

However, such an expensive airship was destined to be affordable to very few martial artists. Looking at it was all they could do.

Chapter 242: Seeking Truce

There were a lot of onlookers. After the airship landed, the door opened, and two martial artists, a man and a woman walked out. Judging from their glamorous uniform, they were obviously employees of Deep Blue Corporation.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Lin Feng in the base?"

The man asked the surrounding people.

"Lin Feng?"

"Could it be Lin Feng from the Global Martial Arts Competition?"

"That's impossible. How can Lin Feng afford such an expensive airship?"

"Heh, he may really be able to afford it! Lin Feng obtained the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition, and he already received a reward of 10,000 merit value. This time, Lin Feng and the others followed Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi here to that secret ruin. How can there not be a reward?"

"That's right. From the looks of it, it's really possible that Lin Feng bought it. But it's such a waste to spend so much merit value to buy an airship. How many resources can one buy in the Martial Domain Network with so much merit value?"

"It's really too much of a waste. Perhaps all those geniuses don't understand how difficult it is to earn merit value."

The martial artists in this secret base did know about that ruin. They also knew that Lin Feng and the others had been brought here by Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi. Perhaps they were here to carry out some secret missions.

However, Lin Feng's purchase of such a luxurious airship still made them feel that it was too wasteful.

"Hello, I'm Lin Feng!"

Suddenly, a figure walked out of the crowd. It was Lin Feng.

He had actually already seen the airship. Its appearance was indeed very satisfactory to him. The 15-meter-long fuselage was not too huge. It could even be landed in a slightly larger courtyard.

Moreover, arriving and leaving was very convenient.

"Dear Mr. Lin Feng, this is the miniature airship you purchased. We are here to manage the handover procedures for you. Please enter the airship for inspection."

Lin Feng nodded, then walked into the airship.

The facilities in the airship were indeed luxurious. There was a living room, a virtual cabin, a huge screen, and a projector. There was also a lounge and a luxurious bed.

It really had everything one needed, just like a luxurious hotel.

Although it was said to carry more than ten passengers, in reality, if there was really an emergency, it could carry dozens of people without any issues.

"Mr. Lin Feng, this airship is the latest model of our Deep Blue Company. It's autonomous. You just need to input the destination, and the airship will arrive autonomously. Moreover, the flight is very stable. Even if you rest on the airship, you wouldn't be affected at all. If you want to operate it manually and enjoy the joy of piloting, it's very simple as well. You just need to activate the semi-automatic operation. Even if there's a mistake in the operation, the system can automatically intervene and adjust the flying posture at any time…"

The female staff member introduced the various functions and operating methods of the airship to Lin Feng in detail.

"Very good. I'm very satisfied."

Lin Feng was naturally very satisfied, and signed to accept the airship.

"Dear Mr. Lin, thank you very much for purchasing the product of our Deep Blue Corporation. In view of your distinguished status, we present you a Deep Blue Corporation VIP card for enjoying the various services of Deep Blue Corporation."

Lin Feng put away the VIP card. He might not be able to use it now, but his relatives and friends might be able to use it in the future.

After the two of them left, Lin Feng asked Longbetham, "Longbetham, can you check if there's anything wrong with this airship?"

Lin Feng would not really just take the two of them at their word. Longbetham must be very familiar with technological products like airships.

Longbetham inspected it for a while and said, "Other than how its positioning will be transmitted to Deep Blue Corporation at all times, there is no problem."

"Positioning? You mean that the Deep Blue Corporation will know the location of this airship? Doesn't that mean they'll know my location in the future?"

"That is right."

This was a troublesome matter. Deep Blue Corporation might be doing this in consideration of the safety of their customers. If the airship encountered any accidents, they could send aid.

However, Lin Feng still felt somewhat uncomfortable that his location was monitored by someone else.

"Can you cancel the positioning?"

"Of course I can cancel it."

Longbetham tinkered for a while longer, and finally resolved the issue of positioning. Now, Deep Blue Corporation could no longer monitor the whereabouts of this airship.

"Hmm, not bad. The airship has arrived. It's time for me to head home too. However, I have to say goodbye to Griman, Fu Lin, and Dardan first."

Hence, Lin Feng walked out of the airship, found Griman and the others, and bade farewell to the three of them.

Griman and the others could be considered companions who went through life-or-death situations with Lin Feng. Out of the ten people, only the four of them survived. They had a friendship from shared experiences of life-or-death. Hence, the four of them exchanged contact information with each other. Then, Lin Feng left.

After Lin Feng moved all the gifts he had bought for his family onto the airship, he prepared to set off. However, on second thought, he had not been home for a year. He should contact his family first. Otherwise, his homecoming would be more of a shock than a pleasant surprise.

Therefore, he took out his communicator and dialed his father's number.

…

In the Lin family's villa, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, as well as Lin Qian, who was on leave, were in the living room.

Today, a special "guest" came to the Lin family villa.

Mr. Lin's expression was a little dark, but he still said grudgingly, "Mr. Zhao, I've already said that we don't know when Lin Feng will return."

It turned out that this special "guest" was Zhao Ping's father, Zhao Beisheng.

Zhao Beisheng had already visited the Lin family's villa for three consecutive days. He had even stood outside the Lin family's villa for a full three hours, and could be considered "full of sincerity".

The Lin family had no choice but to receive Zhao Beisheng.

What was Zhao Beisheng doing in the Lin family? It was very simple. He wanted to seek truce!

That's right, the Zhao family was afraid, and Zhao Beisheng was afraid. In fact, if Zhao Beisheng had any other method, why would he embarrass himself by coming to the Lin family? Just three days ago, he had personally visited the Lin family, but the Lin family did not open the door, leaving him to stand outside for a full three hours.

Zhao Beisheng almost could not resist flying into a rage, but he did not. He was very forbearing. He knew that the Zhao family was in a very difficult situation now. This time, his eldest brother, Zhao Dongsheng, had given the strict order that they must bow down to the Lin family.

When Lin Feng was just an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist in the past, the Zhao family could still resist it. Both parties were inhuman experts. It's not like Lin Feng could actually kill Zhao Dongsheng.

As for the Zhao family, they were the family of an inhuman expert. Under the new policy for martial artists, who would dare to make things difficult for them?

However, after Lin Feng shocked the world with a single feat in the Global Martial Arts Competition and obtained first place, the Zhao family could no longer sit still. Zhao Dongsheng even returned personally, just to completely resolve the feud between the Lin and Zhao families.

Of course, if he wanted to resolve the feud between the Lin and Zhao families, he had to discuss it with Lin Feng. Hence, Zhao Beisheng came to the Lin family every day to "harass" them, only because he wanted to know when Lin Feng would return.

Zhao Beisheng stood up and said with a smile, "It's all right. I'll visit the Lin family again tomorrow."

Zhao Beisheng had no choice. He had to bow his head this time. Zhao Dongsheng had even paid a huge price to invite a Divine Realm martial artist to be the mediator.

According to Zhao Dongsheng, Lin Feng had yet to reach the Divine Realm. If the Zhao family invited that Divine Realm martial artist over, they could still pressure Lin Feng. When the time came, both parties would "reconcile". Even if Lin Feng became a Divine Realm martial artist in the future, he would not really fall out with them and break his promise by attacking the Zhao family.

Hence, they had to hope that Lin Feng would arrive home as soon as possible, so that they could "reconcile" with him as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Beisheng never received an affirmative answer after visiting the Lin family three times.

At this moment, Mr. Lin's communicator rang.

"Feng'er, you'll be coming home this afternoon? How can I not be happy? Your mother has been looking forward to your return for a long time. It's great that you're coming home now. I'll ask your mother to prepare a nice meal, haha."

Turning off the communicator, Mr. Lin's face was filled with joy.

"Dad, Third Brother is coming back?"

"That's right. Feng'er is coming back, and he'll be home in the afternoon."

At this moment, Mr. Lin glanced at Zhao Beisheng.

Zhao Beisheng understood and immediately bade farewell. "Since Lin Feng is back, Big Brother and I will visit him personally another day!"

With that, Zhao Beisheng turned around and left in a hurry.

Chapter 243: The Sage's Reminder

"Big Brother, Lin Feng is returning. He'll be home this afternoon!"

Zhao Beisheng hurriedly returned to the Zhao family's villa.

Zhao Dongsheng had returned some time ago, and as soon as he returned, he decisively took action to express his goodwill to the Lin family.

Even though doing this might damage the Zhao family's reputation, what was reputation worth? How could it be more important than the survival of the Zhao family?

Zhao Dongsheng's expression lit up. Lin Feng had finally returned.

"Very good, Beisheng. It's really been hard on you this time, making you bow down to the Lin family. However, there's nothing we can do about it. You don't know how much influence Lin Feng has among martial artists after obtaining the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition. Our Zhao family has stumbled this time, and we have really stumbled hard. We must think of a way to remedy things."

"Big Brother, it's all my fault."

Zhao Beisheng also felt very guilty. The Zhao family's rise was actually all thanks to Zhao Dongsheng, the inhuman expert. Otherwise, how could the Zhao family have established itself in Central Sea City?

"Beisheng, this isn't your fault. Since we've made a mistake previously, we have to think of a way to remedy it. Fortunately, I paid a small price and invited a Divine Realm martial artist from our Freelance Cultivators Union to come forward. With a Divine Realm martial artist coming forward, I believe Lin Feng will show a little respect. Then, we can reconcile. Even if we lose a little in the process, it won't be to the extent that Lin Feng's influence will make it impossible for our Zhao family to gain a foothold in Central Sea City in the future."

"Big brother, are you talking about that Mr. Shang?"

"That's right. Lord Shang Yuntao is one of the famous Divine Realm martial artists from our Freelance Cultivators Union. With him around, there will definitely be no problem. I'll contact Lord Shang Yuntao and ask him to come to Central Sea City as soon as possible."

Zhao Beisheng heaved a long sigh. It was all because of Zhao Ping. If not for Zhao Ping, this unfilial son, how could the Zhao family have become enemies with the Lin family?

"Dad, Uncle, have you settled things with the Lin family?"

Zhao Ping said listlessly at the moment. It was as if he had just gotten out of bed. There was no knowing where he was fooling around earlier.

"Unfilial son! If you fool around like this every day in the future, no one can save you!"

Zhao Beisheng could no longer control Zhao Ping. He also expected better from Zhao Ping, but there was nothing he could do to change Zhao Ping's current state. Moreover, Zhao Ping was the only male descendant in the Zhao family. This was the result of his doting on Zhao Ping.

"Beisheng, let Zhao Ping get married as soon as possible. It'll best if he can inherit the Zhao family's lineage as soon as possible."

Zhao Dongsheng glanced coldly at Zhao Ping. He had completely given up on this nephew. If the Zhao family had any other male descendants, trash like Zhao Ping would have long been kicked out.

But now, Zhao Ping was unmarried. Before he had children, Zhao Ping had to live, and the Zhao family had to protect Zhao Ping!

…

"How comfortable. It's so stable even at five times the speed of sound?"

Lin Feng sat on the spacious and comfortable sofa and looked at the scenery outside the airship.

Actually, it was all white outside, and there was nothing much to look at. Moreover, the speed was so fast. At five times the speed of sound, even if there was any beautiful scenery, it would be gone in the blink of an eye.

At this speed, he would be able to return to Central Sea in a few hours.

At this moment, Lin Feng's communicator rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

However, Lin Feng still picked up.

"Lin Feng, not bad, not bad. You are indeed worthy of my high opinion. Haha, you've really made me and the Myriad Academy proud!"

"Dean!"

How could Lin Feng not recognize the voice? It was clearly the voice of the Dean of the Myriad Academy and one of the Nine Sages of the world, the Invincible Fist Sage.

"Sage Kang has told me the basics. You've done a good job this time and made a huge contribution. I've approved the three-month leave. As for you taking the position of the Legate of Central Sea City, there's no problem as well. Your information has already been sent to the law enforcement team of Central Sea City. You can take office at any time."

"Thank you, Dean."

"There's no need to thank me. You deserve it! However, you must also seize the time and cultivate. Don't slack off. Try to undergo three life transitions as soon as possible. Elder Kang thinks you have a good chance of becoming the tenth Sage."

Lin Feng was also shocked. He did not expect Sage Kang to think so highly of him.

"By the way, there's one more thing you have to be careful about. By being in the limelight at the Global Martial Arts Competition, and you've actually already attracted the attention of certain people. Moreover, you've undergone a second life transition and become a Divine Realm martial artist in such a short period of time. Sage Kang and I will protect you, of course, but sometimes, things are beyond our reach. Therefore, you have to be careful. Where there's darkness, there's light. Every expert has to undergo all kinds of hardships to stand at the peak. I believe you can too!"

"Understood. Thank you for the advice, Dean."

After turning off his communicator, Lin Feng's expression gradually turned somber.

Apart from the fact that the Invincible Fist Sage had officially appointed Lin Feng as the Legate of Central Sea City, the most important thing was to remind Lin Feng that some people and some factions might have certain ideas regarding Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had only interacted with Sage Kang and the Invincible Fist Sage a few times, but he trusted them very much. In fact, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi had probably discovered how he did not have any Astral Power in his body, but they still never asked anything.

This was for his protection!

However, in this world, where light is, there darkness will be also. The Nine Sages were prestigious and powerful, and they tried their best to unite all the forces they could. The five major factions had also been propelling the human society into the era of martial artists.

However, there would always be certain factions and certain people who would disregard everything for their own interests. This was impossible to eliminate, for this was human nature!

In the past, Lin Feng might have been a little intimidated.

But now?

Lin Feng had already undergone two life transitions and successfully cultivated the combat body. Who else would he be afraid of?

If those people did not come, he would let matters rest. If they really came, he would not go easy on them.

The airship at five times the speed of sound quickly reached the human cities, and arrived at Central Sea City in a few hours.

A year later, Lin Feng finally returned to Central Sea City. Looking at the familiar city, streets, and scenery, Lin Feng felt rather emotional.

Back when he left Central Sea City, he swore that he would definitely break the genetic lock and cure his strange illness. Who would have thought that in just a year, Lin Feng would not only break the genetic lock, but also become a Divine Realm martial artist?

The opportunities in the world were just so incredible. Even Lin Feng felt like he was in a dream when he thought about it now.

The airship began to lower its altitude. It slowed down and slowly flew towards the Lin family's villa area.

However, airships were rare to begin with. Moreover, this airship was the latest model of Deep Blue Corporation. Its sleek appearance was very eye-catching. Soon, people discovered the flying airship.

Even though Central Sea City was a famous economic capital with an extremely developed economy and many wealthy businessmen, large airships were very common, and small private airships like this were extremely rare.

In particular, private airships were often not something that could be bought with money alone, and required a certain status.

"What kind of airship is this? How come I haven't seen it before?"

"The appearance is just too cool. Could it be the new toy of Xia family's heir?"

"Heh, new toy? Let me tell you, this airship alone is worth at least a tenth of the Xia family's wealth. Moreover, it's not something that can be bought with money alone. This is the latest model of Deep Blue Corporation, and also the most luxurious airship. It's never sold publicly, but only to some powerful martial artists or high-ranking politicians."

"No way. Can't the Xia family's heir afford this airship?"

"Heh, not only can't he afford it, the Xia family's heir isn't qualified to buy this airship at all."

"I guess it must have been purchased by a powerful martial artist. Only those powerful martial artists can be extravagant enough to purchase such an advanced private airship."

Seeing the airship heading towards the villa area, many people immediately took photos and uploaded them online to ask for specific information about the airship.

There were indeed many capable figures on the Internet. A veteran in the industry stated how precious this airship was. For a time, everyone's attention was focused on the owner of this airship.

Who in Central Sea City could purchase such a precious private airship?

Chapter 244: I'm Back!

Afternoon had already arrived. In the Lin family's villa, Mr. and Mrs. Lin had been busy all morning, preparing for Lin Feng's return.

Lin Qian even specially dressed up. Out of the three brothers in her family, she was the closest to her third brother, Lin Feng. Not to mention that Lin Feng had saved her before.

Even her eldest brother, Lin Yong, had postponed the meeting in the company and specially returned home to welcome Lin Feng.

"It's already afternoon. Why hasn't Third Brother contacted us yet?"

The eldest son, Lin Yong, frowned.

Lin Qian suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, why don't you ask Big Brother when he'll get off the airship first? We can go and pick him up."

"That's right. We were so busy being happy that we forgot to ask what time he'll get off the airship. I'll contact him immediately."

Mr. Lin patted his head. He was really overjoyed. If Lin Feng was coming back, he must be taking an airship. However, Mr. Lin had asked about neither the time nor the airport.

After all, there were a total of three airports in Central Sea City.

Just as Mr. Lin was about to contact Lin Feng, many people suddenly rushed over from outside. There was even a hint of excitement on their faces.

"What happened?"

The Lin family was a little confused. Then, Lin Qian walked out. She raised her head and gradually widened her mouth. She shouted, "Dad, Mom, come quickly. What a beautiful airship."

"An airship? Why is there an airship in our villa area?"

The Lin family was very surprised, so they all walked out the door.

At this moment, they all saw an airship about ten meters tall flying over not far away. It was actually very rare to see such a small airship, but the Lin family were not ordinary people either. They could tell at a glance that this airship was extraordinary.

This must be a private airship!

In the entire Central Sea City, the number of people who could own private airships could be counted on one hand.

"What a beautiful airship. Big Brother, when can you buy an airship like this? Let me have fun and see what a private airship is like." Lin Qian said enviously.

Lin Yong smiled weakly and shook his head. "I don't have that much money to buy a private airship. Moreover, private airships aren't things that can be bought with money alone. They can only be bought by powerful martial artists. However, those are basically all Divine Realm martial artists. For example, I've seen the Legate of Central Sea City's private airship before."

Lin Yong was considered experienced and knowledgeable. He naturally knew what it meant to own a private airship. It was not something that could be bought with money alone.

Ordinary tycoons in Central Sea City could only compete about their supercars, but no matter how fast a sports car was, it was nothing compared to a private airship. The two were not comparable at all.

"Eh? Why did the airship land in front of our villa?"

Lin Qian saw the airship slowly descend and stop in front of the Lin family's villa.

Such an airship naturally attracted the attention of the security guards in the district. Under normal circumstances, even cars outside had to register to enter the district. After all, this was a high-end villa district. The people who lived here were either wealthy or of high status. They did not dare to be careless in terms of security.

However, after those security guards had already chased such a private airship here, they did not dare to approach it.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the airship shook slightly, and the hatch opened. A figure walked out of the airship.

"This…"

"A martial artist, and an inhuman expert at that!"

"That's right. Only inhuman experts can walk in the air. However, why is this person so young? Moreover, he seems very familiar."

"Haha, he's more than familiar. He's the pride of our Central Sea City. Did you forget the Global Martial Arts Competition?"

"Global Martial Arts Competition? I remember now. It's Lin Feng, the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition! I think he's from the Lin family in Central Sea."

"It's really Lin Feng. He's back! He actually owns such a private airship. That's no easy feat…"

Many people immediately recognized the figure that walked out of the airship.

It was Lin Feng—the pride of Central Sea City! Being the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition came with more fame than any celebrity. There was not a single person in Central Sea City who did not know Lin Feng.

Seeing that it was Lin Feng who walked out of the airship, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, as well as Lin Yong and Lin Qian, were all stunned.

It was Lin Qian who suddenly shouted in surprise, "Third Brother, is it really you?"

Lin Yong also came back to his senses and stared intently at the figure in the air.

Lin Feng. That's right, that was his third brother, Lin Feng!

Compared to before, although Lin Feng's face was still youthful, his gaze was very profound. His body emitted a certain aura—an aura of confidence, strength, and fearlessness!

He had changed. He looked completely different from before, when he appeared thin and refined.

"Feng'er, is it really you?"

Mrs. Lin could not help but weep.

Back then, she had disagreed with Lin Feng going to the Myriad Academy. Lin Feng's body was so frail, and he was afflicted with the strange illness. He had to rely on himself for everything in the Myriad Academy. How difficult would that be?

As a mother, Mrs. Lin could not bear to see Lin Feng lead such a difficult life.

However, Lin Feng did not let her down in the end. He did not let the Lin family down. Not only did he break the genetic lock and cure his strange illness, he even became famous worldwide. He defeated many geniuses in the world and obtained first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition!

Mrs. Lin did not even dare to dream about such an achievement and honor.

Lin Feng walked down step by step. He looked at the familiar faces in front of him. His parents, big brother, and little sister were all his closest family!

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

…

In the living room, Lin Feng, his parents, his eldest brother Lin Yong, and his youngest sister Lin Qian were gathered.

Lin Feng carried many gifts down from the airship. They were all for his family. Ordinary people could not buy these things even if they wanted to. There were things that extended one's lifespan, and even things that slowed aging, specially prepared for parents.

There were also some beauty herbs, all of which were rare and precious species obtained in the depths of the Outland. Lin Qian liked them so much, she could not put them down.

Lin Yong also picked a string of beads. Wearing them could refresh one's mind and make one feel energetic.

These things were priced but not available on the market. Many wealthy people could not buy them, no matter how much money they had. They were not even qualified to enter the Martial Domain Network, let alone buy these things.

As for whether there were martial artists who specialized in selling them? That was almost impossible. Every merit value was very important to martial artists. Who would waste merit value for some money?

"Feng'er, it's been hard on you this year."

Mrs. Lin studied Lin Feng carefully. She had a feeling that Lin Feng had suffered a lot.

Mr. Lin said in relief, "Feng'er, you're really hardworking. Although you didn't return, you broke the genetic lock and obtained first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition. The Lin Corporation also has a much better time."

This was the effect of fame.

Only Lin Yong opened his mouth but did not say anything.

"Big Brother, what are you trying to say?"

Lin Feng also realized that his big brother was acting unnaturally, so he asked directly.

"Lin Feng, I know you're an inhuman expert now, but that airship outside is too ostentatious. Although I don't know what the martial world thinks, there are many inhuman experts in Central Sea City, but the number of people who own airships can be counted on one hand. In the entire law enforcement team of Central Sea City, only the Legate has an airship, and it's apparently bought only after many years of accumulation."

Lin Yong was saying this in concern for Lin Feng. Being too ostentatious was not a good thing. Lin Feng was only an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist. If the airship he owned was better than the Legate's, how could the Legate's reputation not take a blow?

Although Lin Feng's reputation was indeed widespread, it could not change the fact that Lin Feng was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist.

Mr. Lin nodded as well. He had been in the business world for decades. Although he did not know how martial artists were, martial artists were still humans. This was the rule when humans interacted with each other. They could not be too ostentatious.

Otherwise, it would be easy for them to make enemies.

Lin Feng was not riled. He smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, your worries are reasonable, but I'm already qualified to own a private airship now!"

"I'm the new Legate of Central Sea City!"

Chapter 245: True Dragon

"I'm the new Legate of Central Sea City!"

Lin Feng's words still echoed in their ears. Be it Mr. and Mrs. Lin, Lin Yong, or even Lin Qian, all of them were stunned.

With the implementation of the new policy for martial artists, martial artists were no longer mysterious and obscure beings. Now, even ordinary people knew that after martial artists broke the genetic lock, they were only Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

Above the Metamorphic Realm was the high and mighty Divine Realm!

In ancient times, those of the Divine Realm were deities that overlooked all living beings!

"Third Brother, you've become a deity?"

Lin Qian seemed to be in disbelief, but also a little pleasantly surprised.

"What deity? It's the Divine Realm! It's just a coincidence. I've already undergone a second life transition and become a Divine Realm martial artist!"

Lin Feng said calmly, but everyone in the Lin family could not calm down at all.

Divine Realm. He was really in the Divine Realm. Even if the Lin family were not from the martial arts circle, they knew how rare the Divine Realm was. In the huge Central Sea City, there were no little amount of members in the law enforcement team, but as for Divine Realm martial artists? Only the Legate was in the Divine Realm!

Lin Feng was only 21 years old, but he was already a Divine Realm martial artist. This was incredible.

"A true dragon has been born in our Lin family!"

Mr. Lin's voice was trembling. He was genuinely excited. In the past, although the Lin family had considerable wealth, and the Lin Corporation had strong financial resources, they did not have any inhuman experts presiding over it, so they were greatly restrained.

Only after Lin Feng became an inhuman expert did this situation improve.

As for the Divine Realm?

The Lin family had never thought about it, nor had they ever hoped for it. In ancient times, those of the Divine Realm were akin to deities. Even in the modern era, when technology erupted and martial arts flourished, Divine Realm martial artists were very rare.

The Legate of Central Sea City had a very high status. He could almost be ranked in the top five with the most authority in Central Sea City. In matters of managing martial artists, he was undoubtedly the highest authority!

Standing at the top of Central Sea City all of a sudden was a huge leap. If this wasn't a true dragon, what was?

Lin Yong was also very excited. He was now the CEO of the Lin Corporation, and Lin Yong was in charge of the specific affairs of the corporation. With his vision, he naturally knew what the Divine Realm meant.

He knew very well that as long as Lin Feng did not fall, the Lin family would be the top family in Central Sea from then on. They would no longer have to look up to anyone or any faction.

"Lin Feng, you are really the new Legate of Central Sea City?"

"Of course!"

Mr. Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Once Lin Feng became the Legate of Central Sea City, the Lin family's status in Central Sea City would be different.

"Lin Feng, there's something I haven't told you in detail about the Zhao family."

"The Zhao family? They're still targeting the Lin Corporation?"

A cold glint flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. He had not forgotten what Zhao Ping had done to his sister, Lin Qian, back then. Nor had he forgotten how the Zhao family had used their power to suppress others, forcing the Lin family to suffer in silence.

Apart from reuniting with his family, he intended to deal with the matter with Zhao family during this return.

"That's not it. Ever since you broke the genetic lock and became an inhuman expert, the Zhao family stopped targeting the Lin Corporation. A few days ago, Zhao Beisheng from the Zhao family personally came to our house to seek truce, but we turned him away on the grounds that you haven't returned home."

"Seek truce?"

Lin Feng was a little surprised. The Zhao family had given in just like that?

"Dad, how is the Zhao family seeking truce? It's clearly because they saw Third Brother's phenomenal performance in the Global Martial Arts Competition and got scared, so they want to make peace now. Moreover, Zhao Beisheng keeps visiting us every day. Although his attitude is very humble, he's pestering us. How can they be sincere about seeking truce?"

Lin Yong was very discontent with the Zhao family, not only because of his sister, Lin Qian, but also because he had to hold up the Lin Corporation alone back then. The Zhao family gave the Lin Corporation so much pressure that he almost couldn't hold it up.

"Does the Zhao family think I'll let them off so easily just because they've humbled themselves?"

Lin Feng sneered. He had no intention of letting the Zhao family off so easily.

"Lin Feng, although you're the Legate of Central Sea City, you have great prospects ahead. Don't act recklessly. After the new policy for martial artists was introduced, there are restrictions on martial artists, but there are more protective measures. Even if you're the Legate, you can't attack an inhuman expert lightly."

Mr. Lin could see the situation clearly. Although Lin Feng had reached the Divine Realm, he could not just kill people however he pleased.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I won't risk myself over something as insignificant as Zhao family. Moreover, to deal with the Zhao family, we should let them experience what it means to suppress others with power!"

A cold smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips. Back then, it was exactly what the Zhao family had done. They had used their power to suppress others, causing the Lin family to suffer in silence. In the end, they had no choice but to compromise with the Zhao family.

"By the way, Zhao Beisheng said that they will visit another day."

"Yes, they will definitely come!"

Lin Feng smiled. The mere Zhao family was no longer important to him. It was just a minor matter, and not even as important as chatting with his family.

Lin Feng's father, his eldest brother, Lin Yong, and his younger sister, Lin Qian, were all very curious about Lin Feng's "road to rise" in the past year or so. They tugged at Lin Feng to ask questions.

Lin Feng explained briefly. He had too many experiences. Even though he concealed many sensitive matters, it was still thrilling.

After hearing Lin Feng's experiences, the Lin family sighed with the realization that it was not a coincidence Lin Feng could reach the Divine Realm, and it was not as easy as they had imagined.

Lin Feng's experience in over a year might exceed that of other martial artists in decades.

…

Late at night, the family was already asleep.

Lin Feng was alone in his room. He looked at the dark sky outside the window, his gaze as deep and calm as the starry sky.

The reunion with his family had put Lin Feng's heart at ease. No matter how glamorous he was outside, his heart was at its calmest when he returned home.

He did not want anyone to disturb this peace, nor would he let anyone ruin it!

"It's time to end the matter with the Zhao family…"

Lin Feng never forgot what Zhao Ping had done to Lin Qian, nor how the Zhao family had treated the Lin family. If his second brother had not invited General Long, the Lin family would probably be in deep trouble.

Even after the Lin family made a compromise, the Zhao family was still aggressive. They used Zhao Dongsheng's influence to suppress the Lin Corporation commercially.

Lin Feng had not forgotten all of this. However, just as Mr. Lin had said, it was impossible for him to really kill everyone in the Zhao family. However, at his level, was there still a need to kill directly?

"Longbetham, help me investigate everything about Zhao Ping since he was young. Also, investigate everything about Zhao Beisheng, Zhao Dongsheng, and the East Sea Corporation."

Considering Lin Feng's current status, he might be able to get countless people to investigate the Zhao family with just a word. However, who could investigate more thoroughly than Longbetham?

Lin Feng also trusted Longbetham to handle these matters.

Zhao Ping had been notorious since he was young, and the East Sea Corporation's wealth was definitely not that guiltless. Results would definitely turn up with investigation. Then, with Lin Feng's current status, there's no question to whether he'd be able to deal with the Zhao family.

Chapter 246: Your Account Is Not Enough!

In the morning, a fiery red sunrise glowed on the horizon. Although it was only April, the air was already slightly warm.

"I found it!"

Longbetham's voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind. Lin Feng immediately opened his eyes.

After investigating for the entire night, Longbetham had investigated everything there was about the entire Zhao family.

"What did you find out?"

"Heh, very interesting. There is a lot of information. I will send it to your communicator. Take your time to read it."

With that, Lin Feng's communicator rang. It was a mailbox notification. He immediately logged into his mailbox. As expected, Longbetham had already delivered a heap of information.

First was information about Zhao Ping. Zhao Ping had been notorious since he was young. It turned out that before Lin Qian, Zhao Ping had forcefully abducted nine female students. He had used all kinds of methods to force himself upon those girls.

In the end, some of the girls endured the humiliation, some gave up on themselves and became Zhao Ping's playthings, and some immediately transferred schools and left Central Sea.

In the past, the parents of those girls had tried to make Zhao Ping pay, but the Zhao family stopped all of them through channels.

At that time, Zhao Ping was still young. Although he was reckless, he did not cause too much trouble. Ever since the Lin Qian incident, the Zhao family had restrained Zhao Ping for a while, and Zhao Ping had also become obedient during that period.

However, good times did not last long. Three months after Lin Feng left Central Sea, Zhao Ping went to a nightclub to play and forcefully abducted three young girls. Two of the girls resisted, but Zhao Ping actually killed them in a fit of anger.

In the end, the Zhao family used various methods to settle it again.

The remaining girl also went insane. The Zhao family used money to bribe the girl's family into silence. From then on, she disappeared and left Central Sea.

After this incident, Zhao Ping became even more unbridled. Learning from the lesson with Lin Qian, he never dared to provoke girls with even a little background. He would have fun at nightclubs, bars, and other places every night.

Among them, he used forceful methods on many. His misdeeds were innumerable. Someone like this deserved to die ten times over for his crimes.

Bang.

Lin Feng slammed his hand on the table. His expression was very dark, and his eyes emitted an intense killing intent. It was simply the most ironic thing that such a person was still alive in this world!

"And there's Zhao Beisheng!"

Lin Feng also looked at everything on Zhao Beisheng. This Zhao Beisheng was not as unbridled as Zhao Ping, but he was more dangerous. Under Zhao Beisheng's control, the East Sea Corporation used various methods to take advantage of others, and use unorthodox methods to attack competitors. It even caused many companies to go bankrupt, while the company head committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Zhao Beisheng had caused the deaths of even more people than Zhao Ping. As expected, the wicked colluded with each other. The father and son were alike in their immorality.

As for Zhao Dongsheng, he was actually a martial arts fanatic. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young before going to the frontline. He kept working hard until he finally became inhuman. Even until now, he had not married. Zhao Ping and his father were his only family.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Dongsheng was so indulgent towards Zhao Ping.

Zhao Dongsheng naturally knew about the Zhao family's matters, but he pretended not to know. He only focused on practicing martial arts, and was too indulgent towards his family. This led to the Zhao family's overbearing and unbridled actions.

Lin Feng stood up, his eyes flickering with a cold light. With this information in his hands, Zhao Ping and his father were done for!

"Feng'er, someone from the Zhao family is here."

Suddenly, his eldest brother Lin Yong's voice sounded outside Lin Feng's door.

Lin Feng opened the door and saw that Lin Yong had a solemn expression on his face. He said in a low voice, "Lin Feng, someone from the Zhao family has arrived. Apart from Zhao Ping, his father and Zhao Dongsheng, there seems to be a stranger who's putting on airs."

"All right, I see. Let's go down and take a look."

Lin Feng sneered inwardly. He'd like to see what else the Zhao family had come up with.

…

In the living room of the villa, Mr. and Mrs. Lin sat upright and still, their expressions a little dark.

Zhao Dongsheng, Zhao Beisheng, and Zhao Ping were all here. There was also a middle-aged man in a casual outfit with an extraordinary air. He was sitting casually on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

Lin Feng came downstairs and glanced at the Zhao family, especially at Zhao Ping.

How imposing was Lin Feng's aura now? Even a glance from him was filled with authority. Zhao Ping shrunk in fear and lowered his head, not daring to speak. He no longer looked anything like the high and mighty Young Master Zhao.

"What a rare guest!" Lin Feng said coldly. He did not have a good impression of the Zhao family.

"Lin Feng!"

Zhao Beisheng was the first to speak. "I haven't congratulated you on your extraordinary performance in the Global Martial Arts Competition yet. You've done people of Central Sea like us very proud! You're really the pride of our Central Sea City!"

"Mr. Zhao, I can't accept such praise from you."

Zhao Beisheng's expression froze slightly, but he continued, "Lin Feng, we came here sincerely to reconcile."

"Reconcile? Didn't we already reconcile the last time General Long came? Director Zhao, you're being too kind."

Zhao Beisheng's expression was a little awkward. Could the last time be considered a reconciliation? Both parties knew very well that the Lin family had suffered greatly last time and could only swallow their anger.

From the looks of it, Lin Feng was clearly still angry. How could they reconcile so easily?

At this moment, Zhao Dongsheng suddenly said, "Lin Feng, you and I are both Metamorphic Realm martial artists now. Don't beat around the bush. Tell me, what exactly do you want? Our Zhao family sincerely wants to reconcile this time!"

"Sincerely? Looks like your Zhao family wasn't sincere in reconciling last time. Your Zhao family should know what I want. Why ask me?"

Lin Feng retorted bluntly.

"Lin Feng, Zhao Ping is the only heir to the Zhao family. Moreover, his crime is not punishable by death! What do you want, East Sea Corporation? We are willing to give up 51% of the shares of East Sea Corporation to your Lin Corporation to hold. Is this sincerity enough?"

Zhao Dongsheng was indeed decisive. He gave up the East Sea Corporation just like that.

"Zhao Dongsheng, you and I are both martial artists. Do you think I would care about a mere East Sea Corporation?"

"You…"

Zhao Dongsheng was at his wit's end. He felt that he had already made the greatest concession, but Lin Feng was still relentless. Zhao Dongsheng's expression gradually darkened as he looked at the middle-aged man who had been resting with his eyes closed.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man who had been resting with his eyes closed opened his eyes.

"Young man, don't be so aggressive sometimes. Forgive others when possible. How about you let the Zhao family off the hook on my account?"

The middle-aged man exuded an intimidating aura. As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the entire living room became incomparably heavy. It was as if the middle-aged man in front of him was a huge mountain, invoking reverence in one.

Under this aura, it was difficult for others to even speak, let alone argue. Looking at Mr. and Mrs. Lin's flushed faces, they were clearly suppressed by the aura.

At this moment, Zhao Dongsheng heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his tone hardened.

"This is Lord Shang Yuntao, a Divine Realm martial artist of the Freelance Cultivators Union! I specially invited Lord Shang Yuntao to be a witness. Our Zhao family is indeed sincere about reconciling!"

Zhao Dongsheng had highlighted Shang Yuntao's identity to pressurize Lin Feng. How was this seeking truce? He was clearly using authority to force Lin Feng to make peace.

After all, in the eyes of the Zhao family, no matter how strong and talented Lin Feng was, he was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist at the moment. How could they dare to not show respect to a Divine Realm martial artist?

"So it's Mr. Shang, a Divine Realm martial artist. Excuse my disrespect. However, your account is not enough!"

Lin Feng's tone was calm, but as soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly tensed, as if even the air had solidified.

Chapter 247: Sent Flying with a Punch

Shang Yuntao's eyes narrowed slightly. His body suddenly emitted a dangerous aura.

"Good, very good!"

Shang Yuntao laughed instead in extreme anger. He was a dignified Divine Realm martial artist, and had a respected status even in the Freelance Cultivators Union. Although he was not like Zhang Zifeng, who felt that he was a high and mighty deity who could look down on all living beings, he never thought that a mere Metamorphic Realm martial artist would dare to disrespect him.

At this moment, Lin Feng was not giving him any face at all. At this moment, Shang Yuntao even developed a killing intent. As a martial artist who stayed at the frontline all year round to fight dire beasts, Shang Yuntao was far from someone charitable.

At this moment, Zhao Dongsheng's expression darkened. He said coldly, "Lin Feng, no matter what, Lord Shang is our senior. Lord Shang came all the way here to be a witness out of goodwill, yet you're so rude. Hmph, don't think that just because you're a genius of the academic faction, no one can do anything to you. Your home is still in Central Sea City, and your family is also in Central Sea City!"

"Are you threatening me?"

A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.

"I'm not threatening you, but as a martial artist, I have the right to restrain you. You probably don't know yet, but I'm already a law enforcement officer of the law enforcement team in Central Sea City. It doesn't matter if you're a martial artist from an academic faction or another faction. As long as you're in Central Sea City, I have the right to manage you!"

"You're a law enforcement officer of Central Sea City?"

Lin Feng's tone suddenly became a little surprised. Even the way he looked at Zhao Dongsheng was a little peculiar.

He was still thinking about how to deal with Zhao Dongsheng. Zhao Dongsheng was in the Freelance Cultivators Union. Forget about him being a Divine Realm martial artist, even if he was a Meta-divine Realm martial artist, as long as Zhao Dongsheng did not make any mistakes, there was nothing he could do.

But now, Zhao Dongsheng was actually a law enforcement officer of Central Sea City. Didn't this mean that he was now subjected to Lin Feng's control of his own accord?

"Lin Feng, I know you have some ties with Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi, but do you think you have nothing to fear just because of Hao Shiyi? Just for your disrespect for me today, I can teach you a lesson!"

"You dare to fight in the Central Sea City?"

Lin Feng's gaze turned cold. He did not reveal his identity, but he was the new Legate of Central Sea City. As long as a martial artist broke the genetic lock, fighting in the city was strictly prohibited.

Only the law enforcement team had the right to attack!

"Hmph, can teaching a Metamorphic Realm martial artist like you a lesson be considered a fight? Moreover, so what if I fight? At most, I'll just be deployed to the frontline for a few more years."

Shang Yuntao said coldly. He had no intention of killing Lin Feng. Even if he was in the Divine Realm, he did not dare to kill him.

However, he had no qualms about teaching Lin Feng a lesson. At most, he would receive a light punishment. He could still afford it. But Lin Feng had disrespected him, a Divine Realm martial artist, today. He had to teach Lin Feng a lesson!

Swoosh.

Shang Yuntao made his move. He opened his hand, and a massive amount of Astral Power enveloped Lin Feng like an invisible net. How massive was the Astral Power of a Divine Realm martial artist?

It was simply unimaginable, for the Astral Power in the body of a Divine Realm martial artist was almost infinite. It was ten times, a hundred times, or even more than that in a Metamorphic Realm martial artist.

Shang Yuntao had mobilized at least 50,000 strands of Astral Power just like that. It seemed like he had some estimation of Lin Feng's strength, and did not dare to underestimate Lin Feng.

"Feng'er!"

"Zhao Dongsheng, what are you doing?"

"Third Brother!"

Seeing that Lin Feng was restrained, Mr. Lin and the others all became anxious. They did not know who was stronger between Lin Feng and Shang Yuntao when both were in the Divine Realm. However, Shang Yuntao was an experienced Divine Realm expert after all. If they really fought, Lin Feng would probably be the one at a disadvantage. Hence, they were somewhat anxious.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, was unhurried and did not look anxious at all. He looked at Zhao Dongsheng and asked coldly, "Zhao Dongsheng, since you're a member of the law enforcement team in Central Sea City, you should know that inhuman experts fighting in the city is a violation of the rules. Moreover, it's a Divine Realm martial artist. Is your law enforcement team going to step in?"

"Lin Feng, you were disrespectful to a senior in martial arts. It's only right for Lord Shang to teach you a lesson. Don't worry though, I'll report this matter to the law enforcement team. However, that has to wait until Lord Shang is done teaching you a lesson, so that you'll know your place and agree to reconciling with the Zhao family!"

"Very well, Zhao Dongsheng. You seek to reconcile with such an attitude?"

Lin Feng closed his eyes, but he could not help but sneer inwardly. This was just as well. He had always wanted to get something on Zhao Dongsheng, but had never been able to. Today, Zhao Dongsheng had delivered the leverage to his doorstep.

Did he think a Divine Realm martial artist could control Lin Feng?

"Divine Realm? I've killed demon generals before, but I've never actually fought with a Divine Realm martial artist before. With strength so meager, you're not qualified to teach me a lesson!"

Crunch.

Lin Feng suddenly stood up. At the same time, his entire body was covered in a dense layer of armor, looking sinister and terrifying. As for Astral Power?

The Astral Power that covered Lin Feng's body was instantly absorbed by Lin Feng. That's right, it was all absorbed by Lin Feng's combat body as energy.

Astral Power was a type of energy, and it was high-purity energy at that. Lin Feng's combat body required energy. When Lin Feng absorbed the star power in the sky, he did not need to convert it into Astral Power at all. He could directly convert it into energy and nutrients for his combat body.

As for converting star power into Astral Power separately, that was purely superfluous and too wasteful.

"Huh?"

Seeing Lin Feng break free from his restraints at once, Shang Yuntao was a little taken aback. He had not underestimated Lin Feng at all just now. Mobilizing tens of thousands of strands of Astral Power was enough to restrain any Metamorphic Realm martial artist.

He did not expect that not only was it useless against Lin Feng, even his tens of thousands of strands of Astral Power were lost.

"Get lost!"

Shang Yuntao still wanted to restrain Lin Feng again, but he did not expect Lin Feng's arm to grow longer all of a sudden and actually land a punch on his body.

Bang.

Shang Yuntao was caught off guard and sent flying, smashing the door of the villa into pieces.

"What? Impossible!"

Zhao Dongsheng's face was filled with disbelief when he saw Lin Feng send Shang Yuntao flying with a punch.

What were Divine Realm martial artists? They were high and mighty deities that overlooked all living beings, and invincible existences!

Forget about one Metamorphic Realm martial artist, even if eight or ten of them attacked together, they could not cause any damage to Divine Realm martial artists. That was an existence on a separate level above Metamorphic Realm martial artists!

But what did he see now?

He actually saw Lin Feng send Shang Yuntao flying with a simple punch. He did not even sense any Astral Power fluctuations from Lin Feng's body.

Even if Lin Feng's physical strength was very strong, even if Shang Yuntao had let his guard down, how could Lin Feng possibly send a Divine Realm expert flying with just his physical strength?

"Lin Feng!"

Outside the villa, Shang Yuntao almost roared. His voice shook the entire villa area like an earthquake.

Chapter 248: Battling a Divine Realm Expert!

Lin Feng stood up and walked out the door step by step.

The Lin family, Zhao Dongsheng, and the others hurriedly followed. Zhao Dongsheng, in particular, had a vague premonition. Coupled with Lin Feng's behavior just now and Lin Feng's calm expression now, was Lin Feng really a Metamorphic Realm martial artist?

Outside the villa, Shang Yuntao was already standing in the air. His entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of violet flames. The violet flames looked a little sinister and strange, as if there were countless voices surrounding his ears. Just the sight of them was terrifying.

This was a true Divine Realm martial artist. Apart from Astral Power, their innate abilities had already been developed to an extremely powerful level. They could even bewitch the hearts of ordinary people by relying on certain special innate abilities.

This was also why in ancient times, many people worshiped deities and treated those Divine Realm martial artists as deities. Apart from their own lack of knowledge and ignorance, the innate abilities of certain Divine Realm martial artists were indeed very strange.

Shang Yuntao clearly had such a strange innate ability. His violet flames did not even feel hot at all, but cold as ice. It was as if Shang Yuntao's violet flames also emitted a chilling killing intent.

Lin Feng walked out of the villa. At this moment, his entire body was covered in a layer of gray armor. Apart from looking especially ferocious, nothing else was apparent from it.

"Lin Feng, I'll teach you a lesson even if I have to suffer heavy punishment for it!"

A huge giant made of violet flames vaguely appeared behind Shang Yuntao. He was a dignified Divine Realm expert. In ancient times, he would be a high and mighty deity.

All living beings trembled before the rage of a deity!

Boom.

Shang Yuntao extended his hand and pointed. Endless violet flames actually formed a huge palm that blotted out the sky and earth. Then, it suddenly slammed down from midair.

Those who had originally seen the commotion here felt flustered and breathless just from getting slightly too close. They felt fear and palpitated for no cause. This was the rage of a Divine Realm expert. Just his aura was enough to make ordinary people lose their resistance.

At this moment, be it Mr. and Mrs. Lin, or Zhao Dongsheng, a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, as they looked at the huge palm made of violet flames in the void, the thought that it was impossible to resist came up in their minds.

They even felt that they were so insignificant under this huge palm that they did not even dare to have the slightest thought of resisting.

Ordinary people did not think much of it, but Zhao Dongsheng was shocked. He was already a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. Moreover, after fighting with dire beasts at the frontline for so many years, his will was extremely firm. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was stern as steel.

But now, facing Shang Yuntao's eruption at full power, Zhao Dongsheng could not even think of resisting. How horrifying was this? Even though Zhao Dongsheng already had a high opinion of Shang Yuntao, from the looks of it, he had still far underestimated the strength of this veteran Divine Realm martial artist.

In reality, Shang Yuntao was indeed very strong. He was one of the few Divine Realm martial artists in the Freelance Cultivators Union, and was not inferior to Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi in terms of reputation.

Now that Shang Yuntao was unleashing his power in malice, the commotion was incredibly huge.

As the giant palm slammed down, Lin Feng felt as if the surrounding air had frozen. This was different from Griman's spatial restraint. That was a true spatial innate ability, utilizing spatial power that was very rare even in the universe.

On the other hand, Shang Yuntao's violet flames could almost freeze the air. He wanted to freeze Lin Feng completely.

The huge palm of violet flames was very fast. It slammed down almost in the blink of an eye.

The ground was shaking, and violet flames wreaked havoc everywhere. The entire villa area seemed to have gone through a storm. Fortunately, Shang Yuntao had not lost his mind, and had the awareness to control the range of the flames. Otherwise, just the aftershock alone would have killed countless ordinary people.

Even a Divine Realm martial artist like Shang Yuntao did not dare to easily violate the new policy for martial artists!

Seeing the huge palm of violet flames slam down on Lin Feng's head, Mr. and Mrs. Lin's bodies trembled. No matter how much the aura suppressed them, it could not suppress their feelings for Lin Feng.

"Feng'er!"

The faces of the Lin family were pale, but as the dust gradually dissipated, they took a closer look. Lin Feng was not dead yet. He was only frozen by the violet flames, like an ice sculpture.

However, this ice sculpture was just too strange. It was actually still burning fiercely. How could flames be cold?

This was actually a rare innate ability that Shang Yuntao had awakened. The Polar Ice Flame was a very rare innate ability, and also very powerful. Even demon generals would be frozen by the Polar Ice Flame.

Looking at Lin Feng, who was frozen into an ice sculpture, Shang Yuntao did not show any trace of joy, because he felt pressure. Yes, a very great pressure. His Polar Ice Flame was actually being consumed rapidly, as if a terrifying power was awakening within.

Crunch.

Suddenly, the ice sculpture shattered, and cracks appeared. Immediately after, the cracks grew larger and larger, until Lin Feng could no longer be frozen.

Boom.

Lin Feng broke through the Polar Ice Flame. He looked up at Shang Yuntao. Not bad. This Shang Yuntao was clearly much stronger than the three lizards in the ruins back then.

No matter how strong those three lizards were, they were still biomodified beasts with low intelligence. They had only strength and were without skill.

Shang Yuntao, on the other hand, was a genuine peak Divine Realm martial artist. Lin Feng felt that Shang Yuntao's strength was definitely not inferior to Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi.

Coincidentally, Lin Feng also wanted to see how his current strength was compared to a Divine Realm expert.

"What a strange innate ability. But that's all it is!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and stopped suppressing his combat body.

Lin Feng's body expanded rapidly, like a balloon. He suddenly expanded from about 1.8 meters tall to a height of 10 meters, like a small giant.

Moreover, the 10-meter combat body expanded in all dimensions, and not just in height.

Lin Feng's entire body was still covered in gray armor. He looked like a deity who had descended to the mortal world, dignified and extraordinary. Even while standing, he was at the same height as Shang Yuntao, who was flying in the air.

"Is this your innate ability?"

For the first time, Shang Yuntao's expression turned solemn. He did not sense any Astral Power fluctuations from Lin Feng. Hence, this was definitely not an Astral martial art. It could only be a special innate ability.

However, he could not imagine any innate ability that could turn a person into a 10-meter-tall small giant at once.

Moreover, as Lin Feng transformed into a small giant, he could clearly feel the strong sense of threat emanating from Lin Feng. It was as if he was facing the most terrifying demon general, filled with a dangerous aura.

He could not help but doubt if Lin Feng was really just a Metamorphic Realm martial artist.

Chapter 249: Wrath of the Deity!

"Down you get!"

Lin Feng growled, and his huge arm grabbed towards Shang Yuntao in the sky. His speed was so fast that Shang Yuntao did not even have time to dodge.

Shang Yuntao was shocked. The violet flames around his body surged again.

"Polar Ice Flames!"

The endless flames also transformed into a huge fist that collided with Lin Feng's fist.

Bang.

The violet flames exploded. The armor on Lin Feng's body was enveloped by the Polar Ice Flame, but it was extinguished in the blink of an eye.

Shang Yuntao was shocked. His long hair moved without wind, and the violet flames on his body were faintly tainted with a layer of Astral Power. Violent Astral Power fluctuations gradually emitted from Shang Yuntao's body.

"Do you know why Divine Realm martial artists are called Divine Realm? It's because of Astral Power. The Astral Power we have is unimaginable for ordinary martial artists. Stellar Blade, slash!"

At some point, Shang Yuntao had already condensed a large saber.

This saber, which was completely formed of Astral Power, was burning with a violet Polar Ice Flame. It was several meters long and stretched across the void, emitting a terrifying pressure above Lin Feng's head.

Lin Feng was a little surprised. There was indeed a lot of Astral Power contained in this sword. It had already far exceeded 50,000 strands, and reached even 100,000 or 200,000 strands.

Although Lin Feng was no longer a pure martial artist and had already embarked on the path of cosmic cultivation, he still had some understanding of martial arts.

After a Divine Realm martial artist underwent a life transition, the Astral Power in their body would also condense into an Astral Sphere, composed completely of Astral Power. At that time, the Astral Power would compress like insane. A tiny Astral Sphere might even contain a million strands of Astral Power.

Compared to a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, that was an earth-shattering change.

In the past, Lin Feng had only comprehended it. Although he had also possessed 80,000 strands of Astral Power, he could not understand what it felt like to have hundreds of thousands, or even millions of strands of Astral Power, let alone how powerful it was.

Now, Lin Feng could sense that the Astral Saber above his head was indeed extraordinarily powerful. Especially when combined with the Polar Ice Flame, its power was even stronger!

Swish.

The saber slashed down instantly, its sharp edge swinging down overwhelmingly. Even a demon general would probably feel threatened.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. The power unleashed by the ten-meter combat body was enough to deal with ordinary Divine Realm martial artists, but it was somewhat difficult to deal with a peak Divine Realm martial artist like Shang Yuntao.

In that case, Lin Feng would not hold back.

Buzz.

Lin Feng's body expanded again, like a balloon. In the blink of an eye, it quickly expanded to a height of 30 meters.

Thirty meters was equivalent to seven or eight stories. Imagine a seven or eight-story building suddenly turning into a giant in gray armor. How shocking would that be?

"Destroy!"

Lin Feng did not use any fancy moves. He just slapped down with his palm, completely breaking all techniques with force.

No matter what techniques they had, and no matter how much Astral Power they had, it was useless.

Bang.

With a palm strike, the Astral Saber that was several meters in size was instantly shattered, and the Astral Power quickly dissipated into the void.

"You didn't use Astral Power. How can you be so strong?"

Shang Yuntao was somewhat incredulous, and even felt that this had exceeded his understanding. Be it Divine Realm martial artists or Meta-divine Realm martial artists, they all cultivated Astral Power.

Martial arts were already firmly combined with Astral Power. Powerful martial artists could already unleash the power of Astral Power to the limit.

Even for Sages, putting aside the terrifying bodies brought about by their four life transitions, their strength actually also came from Astral Power!

However, only Lin Feng's slap just now was clearly not inferior to the strength of any peak Divine Realm expert, and even exceeded it. However, there was no fluctuation of Astral Power at all. It was purely strength.

It was simple and crude, but very effective!

This differed from martial artists. On the contrary, it was somewhat similar to those demons with powerful bodies. However, those demons also relied on various powerful innate abilities, and not entirely on their bodies.

Lin Feng appeared out of the blue like a freak of nature.

How could Shang Yuntao know that Lin Feng cultivated the combat body? It was simple and crude, but it was the most effective truth in the universe!

Astral Power or other powers were actually just a form of energy. No matter how powerful one's Astral Power cultivation was, what was the use?

In terms of Astral Power, there was actually more Astral Power contained in Lin Feng's body than anyone else, probably even more than the Nine Sages combined.

How many energy modules had Lin Feng absorbed when he cultivated the Tidal Combat Body?

In the energy factory of the seventh civilization, almost all the energy modules in the five warehouses had been absorbed by Lin Feng. Those energy modules were also condensed from star power. What massive amount of Astral Power was that equivalent to?

If Lin Feng wanted to, he could actually condense Astral Power as well, but that would just be a waste. His Tidal Combat Body could directly absorb star power, and there was no need to convert it into Astral Power. It was completely unnecessary.

Moreover, with Lin Feng's current strength, who did he have to fear?

The 30-meter-tall Tidal Combat Body simply crushed everything. Lin Feng shattered Shang Yuntao's Stellar Blade with a slap, then smacked Shang Yuntao from the void to the ground.

Boom.

Shang Yuntao smashed into the ground, forming a huge pit. Even though he was a Divine Realm martial artist and had used Astral Power to protect himself just now, he was in a very sorry state now. Even his Astral Power had become unstable from Lin Feng's smack.

A huge pit with a radius of dozens of meters appeared on the ground. It was as if it had been created by the fiercest artillery fire. There were pits everywhere.

Any movement from Lin Feng's massive body would shake the earth like an earthquake. How could anyone fight something like this?

They were confused. Everyone was confused.

They had never seen such a strange battle. The strange martial artist whose entire body emitted violet flames was almost like a deity. He was extremely powerful, and no one could think of resisting him.

However, the giant that Lin Feng had transformed into was even more terrifying and invincible. He swatted Shang Yuntao down with the ease of swatting a fly. It was a complete suppression. Shang Yuntao did not even have the slightest ability to retaliate.

Zhao Ping's mouth fell open. Looking at Lin Feng's mountain-like body, his face turned very pale, and his entire body trembled.

Zhao Dongsheng could not help but have a ridiculous thought. Could Lin Feng be a Divine Realm martial artist?

This thought was too insane and bold. Lin Feng had only broken the genetic lock for a year, and he was only 21 years old today. How could he be a Divine Realm martial artist?

However, if he was not a Divine Realm martial artist, how could he be so powerful? Even Shang Yuntao did not seem to be his match.

"Lin Feng! Die!"

Bang.

The huge pit in the ground exploded, and a figure suddenly rushed out. It was the very disheveled Shang Yuntao.

However, at this moment, Shang Yuntao was not just in a sorry state. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had just about lost his mind.

"Ultimate Stellar Blade!"

Shang Yuntao roared at the sky. He had already lost his mind. He only wanted to kill Lin Feng and avenge his previous humiliation!

Boom.

The sky seemed to have darkened all of a sudden. Everyone looked up at the sky.

What did they see?

The sky within a radius of several kilometers actually darkened all of a sudden. Waves of star power were directly channeled down, and with the infinite Astral Power and violet flames as the core, a terrifying saber hundreds of meters long was condensed, flickering with starlight and violet flames!

As soon as this saber appeared, the entire villa district, and even the surrounding residential buildings, sensed the aura of death. It was as if once the saber in the sky descended, it would annihilate everything!

"He's insane. He's definitely gone insane!"

Zhao Dongsheng wanted to yell. At this moment, Shang Yuntao was simply insane. Once this saber descended, everyone in the entire district would be dead. Even if Lin Feng was killed, Shang Yuntao would definitely die!

However, on some occasions, even Divine Realm martial artists failed to maintain their rationality at all times.

At this moment, Zhao Dongsheng regretted it. He even felt that he shouldn't have invited Shang Yuntao. He never expected things to get to this point.

Once Shang Yuntao's saber landed, even a Metamorphic Realm martial artist like him would not be able to withstand it. The entire villa district would be reduced to ashes.

All living beings trembled before the rage of Divine Realm!

Zhao Dongsheng wanted to stop him, but under the pressure of that terrifying saber, he could not even speak, let alone stop Shang Yuntao.

Chapter 250: Grabbed

Central Sea City, in the office building of the law enforcement team…

Ever since the new policy for martial artists was established, the status of martial artists in society had improved steadily. Moreover, they no longer had to be secretive and keep a low profile like before.

In fact, martial artists nowadays should be high-profile! It would be best if they could attract the envy of everyone in society and entice them to practice martial arts.

Hence, the law enforcement team also moved into the new government building in a high-profile manner. Moreover, three floors were specially designated as the law enforcement team's workplace.

The Legate of Central Sea City, Shen Jianxin, was a veteran Divine Realm expert. He had been transferred to Central Sea City three years ago. Now, it was about time for him to be transferred to the frontline.

He was genuinely reluctant to part with Central Sea. After all, life in Central Sea City was so comfortable that he almost lost his fighting spirit. If not for the new policy for martial artists, he could still continue being the Legate, but now…

Beep-beep.

Suddenly, Shen Jianxin received an appointment on the virtual network. He knew that this was the new Legate of Central Sea City, who was here to take over his position.

Which Divine Realm expert was it?

"Lin Feng, from Central Sea City. Joined the academic faction a year ago. A Divine Realm martial artist who made great contributions at the frontline…"

Seeing this, Shen Jianxin's eyes suddenly focused.

Lin Feng. This name was all too familiar. Forget about Shen Jianxin, even ordinary people in Central Sea City probably knew this name.

In the Global Martial Arts Competition, Lin Feng had shocked the world with a single brilliant feat!

However, wasn't Lin Feng a Metamorphic Realm martial artist?

Shen Jianxin even suspected that it was a martial artist with the same name.

However, as he checked the information carefully, his eyes widened. It wasn't someone with the same name, but indeed Lin Feng from the Global Martial Arts Competition. He was only 21 years old today.

Moreover, it was clearly stated at the back: Divine Realm martial artist!

A 21-year-old Divine Realm martial artist. How was this possible? Moreover, he had made a great contribution that even the higher-ups kept confidential.

It had to be known that it was actually very difficult to become a Legate without making great contributions. After all, everyone knew that being a Legate at the homefront was a very easy task, and could even be considered enjoyable. Many Divine Realm martial artists fought fiercely to become Legates.

In the past, the government faction monopolized the positions of Legate. Now, all the Divine Realm martial artists on the frontline could take on the position, but they had to make great contributions to be appointed as Legate.

It was equivalent to giving those Divine Realm martial artists who had made great contributions a break. It could also be considered a reward for those Divine Realm martial artists who had made great contributions.

Lin Feng was so young. Not only had he undergone a second life transition and become a Divine Realm martial artist, he had actually made a great contribution, such that he could become a Legate.

"Lin Feng, that's right. Someone reported that a private airship entered Central Sea City. Later, they found out that Lin Feng has returned. I should have visited him personally."

Such a young Divine Realm martial artist had boundless prospects! Even though Shen Jianxin belonged to the government faction, he was naturally very willing to befriend a young Divine Realm martial artist with a promising future.

"That's right, someone reported that Zhao Dongsheng invited Shang Yuntao, a Divine Realm martial artist from the Freelance Cultivators Union, to mediate the feud between the Zhao family and the Lin family. Nothing will come up, right?"

Shen Jianxin's eyelids twitched slightly. He had not paid much attention to this matter before. He knew about Shang Yuntao. He was one of the best among Divine Realm martial artists and was famous in the Freelance Cultivators Union. With his mediation, the Zhao and Lin families should be able to coexist peacefully.

Actually, Shen Jianxin also knew that the Zhao family was capitalizing on Shang Yuntao's authority. However, as long as Shang Yuntao did not go overboard, Shen Jianxin would not interfere in this matter. After all, the Lin family only had Lin Feng. No matter how talented he was, he was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. How could he compare to Shang Yuntao, a dignified Divine Realm martial artist?

But now, Lin Feng's status had increased by leaps and bounds. He was an incredible figure, who was a Divine Realm martial artist just like Shang Yuntao, and had already returned to the Lin family now. It was hard to guarantee that nothing would go amiss.

Boom.

At this moment, Shen Jianxin felt as if wind and clouds had gathered in the sky all of a sudden. In the distant sky, infinite Astral Power and violet flames actually formed a terrifying saber over hundreds of meters long.

He naturally recognized it. It was Shang Yuntao's Ultimate Stellar Blade. What was Shang Yuntao doing? Who was he dealing with, that he must use such a terrifying martial art at full power?

"Shang Yuntao is insane!"

Shen Jianxin took a step forward and broke out of the window, flying towards the Stellar Blade causing a huge commotion in the distance.

…

In the void, the huge Stellar Blade hung above their heads, emitting an awe-inspiring heavenly might.

This was like divine retribution. In a fit of rage, ancient gods would deliver divine retribution to destroy the people in the world!

Such a huge commotion had alarmed almost the entire Central Sea City.

The police, law enforcement team, government, army, and so on were all speculating about what was going on. Hence, they all rushed to the scene of the incident. Something big was clearly about to happen.

The people around the villa did not dare to stay where they were and fled far away. Some were even injured from being trampled while fleeing.

Shang Yuntao's actions had already caused an extremely adverse impact!

Lin Feng looked up at the huge Stellar Blade above his head. Even he felt a trace of threat. The combat power of a peak Divine Realm expert was indeed terrifying. This strike had even reached the critical point.

If he was a little stronger, he might be able to reach the Meta-divine Realm, but Shang Yuntao had been stuck at this realm for up to 20 years.

"Lin Feng, die!"

Shang Yuntao pointed down hard with anger.

Rumble.

The huge Stellar Blade slashed down. Countless streams of air fluctuated, and the air was directly slashed open. The entire villa area seemed to be under heavy pressure.

Some ordinary people with weak wills could not even withstand this mental pressure. It caused them to lose their minds.

Lin Feng turned around and saw that his parents, sister, and big brother were all trembling. It was obvious that they could not hold out any longer. If he allowed this saber to slash down, he would be fine, but it was hard to say for the Lin family.

Hence, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. His body expanded again. This time, he simply expanded to 60 meters tall at once.

A 60-meter-tall body was equivalent to a tall building with more than ten floors. Moreover, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body was not only huge, but also contained terrifying power.

For every meter of increase, the combat body would greatly improve in strength, defense, and so on, let alone reaching 60 meters at once.

"Break!"

Lin Feng did not make any fancy moves. Facing the terrifying saber that was hundreds of meters long, he merely threw a punch towards the sky.

Boom.

This punch was earth-shattering. An invisible force from the fist surged into the sky. It was as if even space was compressed to the extreme at once, and vaguely distorted.

This was just an illusion. The space was very solid. Forget about a mere 60-meter combat body, even Lin Feng's 200-meter combat body could not shatter space.

This was just an illusion caused by the overwhelming power that compressed the surrounding air.

However, as Lin Feng unleashed the full power of his 60-meter combat body, the saber in the void was shattered by Lin Feng's punch before it could land. At the same time, Lin Feng transformed his fist into a palm and descended from the sky, grabbing towards Shang Yuntao.

"No…"

Shang Yuntao's expression changed drastically. He looked at the huge palm above his head. It was like a black cloud pressing down, and the entire sky darkened.

It was as if even now, he still could not believe that his strongest strike, a strike akin to divine retribution, had been resolved by Lin Feng with ease.

Moreover, Lin Feng had grabbed him like he was an insect.

The terrifying power contained in Lin Feng's hand easily restrained him. No matter how he struggled, it was futile.

Chapter 251: He's the New Legate?

In the villa area, when Lin Feng gently grabbed Shang Yuntao like he was grabbing an insect, everyone was dumbfounded. The entire villa area fell silent.

Even the most ignorant person knew that Shang Yuntao's strength was extraordinary. That terrifying saber could almost affect an area of several kilometers. It was definitely not something an ordinary martial artist could do.

It could only be someone in the Divine Realm!

But now, a dignified Divine Realm martial artist had actually been captured by Lin Feng just like that, without any ability to resist. How strong must Lin Feng be?

Even martial artists knew that the Divine Realm was far stronger than ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Not long ago, Lin Feng's performance in the Global Martial Arts Competition was astonishing, but he was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. Yet now, he could easily defeat a Divine Realm martial artist.

Since when did martial arts cultivation become so easy?

"Shang Yuntao, have you gone insane? Stop…"

Suddenly, a figure flew over from afar. Before he could see the situation clearly, he was already shouting.

Swoosh.

Shen Jianxin rushed over. He had not even seen the situation clearly, but he felt that something was amiss. Where had that imposing Stellar Blade gone?

Even the Astral Power seemed to have dissipated. Countless eyes were focused on him.

"Huh? Shang Yuntao?"

Only then did Shen Jianxin realize that Shang Yuntao, who he had rushed over to stop in exasperation, had been "captured" by a terrifying giant.

As for the giant, he looked a little familiar, and there was no sign of Astral Power erupting from his body.

"Lin Feng?"

Suddenly, Shen Jianxin remembered. Wasn't this Lin Feng? But when did Lin Feng become a giant?

"You're the Legate of Central Sea City, Shen Jianxin?"

Lin Feng's voice was thunderous. The moment he saw the aura emitted by Shen Jianxin, he knew that Shen Jianxin was a Divine Realm martial artist. The Legate was the only Divine Realm martial artist in Central Sea City. Lin Feng could naturally guess his identity.

"I'm Shen Jianxin."

Although the scene was a little chaotic, no one was injured, and no one had died. Hence, Shen Jianxin heaved a sigh of relief. If someone died and caused widespread damage, as the Legate, he would be accountable.

However, Shen Jianxin had seen the terrifying Stellar Blade condensed by Shang Yuntao with his own eyes just now. Shang Yuntao's strength was above his, which showed just how terrifying Shang Yuntao was.

This was why Shen Jianxin was so anxious.

But now, Shang Yuntao kept struggling in Lin Feng's hands, yet could not break free from Lin Feng's restraint at all. Just how strong was Lin Feng now?

Even if Lin Feng had reached the Divine Realm, it was impossible for him to become so powerful, right?

Shen Jianxin drew a deep breath. He had to make a stand.

At this moment, many more Metamorphic Realm martial artists arrived. They were all members of the law enforcement team. When they saw the scene before them, they were also dumbfounded. Just Lin Feng's terrifying size alone was extremely oppressive, let alone the fact that Lin Feng was holding the dignified peak Divine Realm martial artist, Shang Yuntao.

What was going on? Even the law enforcement team was confused.

"All of you, go around and maintain order. Do not allow any chaos."

Shen Jianxin swept his gaze across the crowd below and naturally saw Zhao Dongsheng in the crowd.

"Zhao Dongsheng!"

Hearing Shen Jianxin call his name, Zhao Dongsheng's heart skipped a beat. However, he could not just pretend he didn't notice at this moment. He could only brace himself and walk out.

"Zhao Dongsheng, what's going on?"

Shen Jianxin said in a low voice. This matter had blown up so much that someone had to take responsibility.

Zhao Dongsheng glanced at Lin Feng and Shang Yuntao in Lin Feng's hand. His expression was a little complicated, but he still said, "Lord Legate, this matter all happened because of me. There are some misunderstandings between Lord Shang Yuntao and Lin Feng."

"Misunderstanding?" Lin Feng sneered.

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, how could Shen Jianxin not know that Zhao Dongsheng was avoiding the main point? Hence, he shouted, "Zhao Dongsheng, report everything in detail."

"Yes, Lord Legate."

Zhao Dongsheng was caught between a rock and a hard place. It was impossible for him to distort the truth with so many people here. He could only give a brief account of what happened from the beginning.

However, he was also avoiding the important parts and focusing on the trivial parts. He only explained that this was a misunderstanding between Shang Yuntao and Lin Feng, and did not mention his own responsibility at all.

"Is that so?"

Lin Feng laughed coldly. His gaze was sharp as a blade as he stared intently at Zhao Dongsheng, before saying, "Zhao Dongsheng, you invited Shang Yuntao to threaten the Lin family with his authority!"

"You turned a blind eye when Shang Yuntao attacked me. Do you know what you are guilty of as a member of the law enforcement team?"

"And Shang Yuntao, you violated the ban and attacked with all your might in the city, causing chaos. According to the regulations, the law enforcement team has the right to arrest you!"

Zhao Dongsheng wanted to defend himself, but under Shen Jianxin's cold gaze, he did not dare to say anything.

As for Shang Yuntao, his face was also dark. He naturally knew that his actions just now were a huge mistake, but fortunately, he did not cause much damage. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make up for it.

"Lin Feng, you're not a member of the law enforcement team. What right do you have to arrest me? Going by the regulations, you fought just now too. Shen Jianxin, as the Legate of Central Sea City, you should do your duty. You can arrest me, but shouldn't Lin Feng be arrested too?" Shang Yuntao sneered.

"Legate, am I qualified to enforce the law?"

Lin Feng's faint smile confused everyone.

Everyone knew that only the law enforcement team could enforce the law in the city. Lin Feng was not a member of the law enforcement team, so how could he enforce the law? This would put Shen Jianxin in a difficult position. According to the regulations, no matter what the reason was, if the two parties fought in the city, both of them were captured.

As for right and wrong, that was the business of the Martial Artist Court, not the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team only had the right to enforce the law, and did not have the right to judge.

Zhao Dongsheng's eyes lit up as well. Originally, he was very shocked that Lin Feng could defeat Shang Yuntao. Once Lin Feng dealt with Shang Yuntao, how would he be able to maintain his foothold in Central Sea City?

Hence, he could take this opportunity to get Shen Jianxin to capture Lin Feng as well.

Hence, Zhao Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Lord Legate, Lin Feng and Shang Yuntao fought in the city. No matter who was right or wrong, according to the regulations, they must be arrested first, and then handed over to the Martial Artist Court for trial!"

Shen Jianxin glanced coldly at Zhao Dongsheng, but with the look one would give an idiot. If Zhao Dongsheng knew Lin Feng's identity, would he still be so excited?

Then, Shen Jianxin took a deep breath and said loudly, "Of course Brother Lin has the right to enforce the law!"

"Why aren't you paying your respects to the new Legate—Brother Lin Feng?"

Shen Jianxin berated the law enforcement team members behind him, but everyone was stunned.

Lin Feng was the new Legate of Central Sea City?

"How is this possible? He's the new Legate?"

In an instant, Zhao Dongsheng's face turned pale. He staggered back a step, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained. There was a hint of despair in his eyes.

Chapter 252: The Zhao Family Is Done For!

"The new Legate?"

Even Shang Yuntao's expression changed. If Lin Feng was the Legate of Central Sea City, he would really be in big trouble. Considering what he had just done, although he would not be sentenced to death, he would at least have to guard the frontline for more than 20 years!

Twenty years was a long time even for a Divine Realm martial artist.

"That's right. Lin Feng is the new Legate of Central Sea City. I've already received the order from above."

Hearing Shen Jianxin confirm it again, everyone's expressions changed.

The term of Legate was at least three years. In other words, Lin Feng could stay in Central Sea City for at least three years.

As long as Lin Feng was alive, the Lin family would be the top family in Central Sea City, and enter the top tier from then on!

All of this was because Lin Feng alone had changed the fate of the entire Lin family.

This was the influence of martial artists, especially under the new policy for martial artists, which made the influence of martial artists even greater. The surrounding ordinary people stared at Lin Feng enviously.

They knew the Lin family and even Lin Feng very well. After all, they had been "neighbors" for so many years.

Lin Feng had made such accomplishments in only a year. It was almost like a dream. However, perhaps the path of martial arts was just that incredible.

Hence, some people even secretly made up their minds to make all the young people in the family practice martial arts. What if someone with talent comparable to Lin Feng appeared? That would be the fortune of the family!

Lin Feng did not know that his appearance had affected the thoughts of so many ordinary people.

"Where are the law enforcement team members?"

"Lord Legate, what are your orders?"

"Arrest Zhao Dongsheng!"

Zhao Dongsheng's face turned pale. There was no need for Lin Feng to make a move himself. Those law enforcement team members immediately captured Zhao Dongsheng.

Zhao Dongsheng knew the law and broke it. If he was sent to the Martial Artist Court, his outcome would probably not be much better than Shang Yuntao's. Although he could not possibly be executed, if he was sent to the frontline for 10 or 20 years without even leave, how could the Zhao family maintain itself?

Moreover, Lin Feng was prepared to take down the Zhao family in one fell swoop this time. Arresting Zhao Dongsheng was just the beginning.

"Brother Shen, I'll leave Shang Yuntao to you for now. You should escort him to the Martial Artist Court."

"Brother Lin, when are you going to handle the handover?"

"In a few days. There's no rush."

Lin Feng shrunk his body and handed Shang Yuntao over to Shen Jianxin. Now that the Astral Power in Shang Yuntao's body had been depleted from the eruption, it was a piece of cake for Shen Jianxin to control him.

As for whether Shen Jianxin and Zhao Dongsheng could escape?

Lin Feng really did not mind them escaping. If they were stupid, they could run all they liked. Then, Lin Feng would have a legitimate reason to kill the two of them.

Shen Jianxin nodded and waved his hand. "Take him away!"

He exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Feng and did not bother Lin Feng anymore. He ordered men to take Shang Yuntao and Zhao Dongsheng away directly.

"Brother, you were so impressive just now."

After Shen Jianxin and the others left, Lin Qian immediately came to Lin Feng's side. She was just an ordinary person. Although she also practiced martial arts, she was only a hobbyist who did it to strengthen her body, and could not be considered a professional martial artist at all.

Hence, it was hard for her to imagine how Lin Feng had transformed into a giant dozens of meters tall, or how he had shrunk to his normal size.

"Little sister, if you practice martial arts in the future, you might even be able to break the genetic lock."

Lin Feng was not joking. He really planned to let his little sister, Lin Qian, practice martial arts when he returned this time. With Lin Feng's various resources, even if he just accumulated resources, he could still push his little sister above a Grade Nine professional.

However, whether Lin Qian could break the genetic lock depended on herself. Lin Feng could not help either.

"Brother, Zhao Ping and the others have left!"

At this moment, Lin Qian said through gritted teeth. She hated Zhao Ping to the bone.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Of course he saw Zhao Ping and Zhao Beisheng leave, but he did not stop them. In his eyes, these two people were already dead.

"Don't worry, Sister. They won't live for long."

A vicious glint flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.

…

In the Zhao family, Zhao Ping and Zhao Beisheng were like cats on hot bricks. They were panicking, but there was nothing they could do.

Zhao Dongsheng was the foundation of the Zhao family. Once Zhao Dongsheng went down, the Zhao family would fall apart.

"Dad, how's Uncle?"

Zhao Ping's lips were trembling slightly. He was really afraid. His uncle, Zhao Dongsheng, had been captured by the law enforcement team and had to go to the Martial Artist Court. In his eyes, it was almost like the sky was collapsing.

He knew very well what he had done over the years. Without his uncle's influence, how could he have lived so indulgently?

Zhao Beisheng's face was dark as he said coldly, "Your uncle got someone to send a message to us. Retreat! Our Zhao family will give up everything and leave Central Sea immediately. We lost this time. We lost everything…"

Zhao Beisheng felt a little pained. The East Sea Corporation was everything he had. He had put a lot of effort into it. He was really unwilling to give up just like that.

Zhao Ping was also stunned. He did not expect the matter to be so serious.

"Dad, without the East Sea Corporation, what are we supposed to survive on in the future? Dad, we didn't do anything. Even if Lin Feng is the Legate, he wouldn't dare to kill us directly, right?"

Zhao Ping was not willing to leave just like that either. If he did, he would not be able to live the comfortable life of a playboy.

"Idiot! Don't you know what you've done over all these years? Lin Feng is now the Legate, and your uncle has been captured. Our Zhao family is finished…"

"Your uncle is right. Leave, leave immediately. As long as there's life, there's hope. Lin Feng is indeed showing his edge now and has a strong momentum. Hmph, but who knows what will happen in the future? Perhaps one day, he will die at the hands of those dire beasts at the frontline. Then, it will be time for us to return to Central Sea!"

Zhao Beisheng was also an ambitious businessman. No matter how unwilling and reluctant he was, he knew that they must leave now.

"Dad, is there any other way? I don't want to leave…"

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound at the Zhao family's door.

Zhao Beisheng opened the door and realized that they were fully armed police officers.

These police officers surged in, immediately surrounding the two of them.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Beisheng berated sternly.

The leading police officer immediately took out an arrest warrant and said, "Zhao Beisheng, Zhao Ping, this is the arrest warrant. Your crimes have been uncovered. Come with us."

Looking at the fully armed police officers, Zhao Beisheng and Zhao Ping's faces went pale at once.

"Dad, save me…"

Zhao Ping wailed at the top of his lungs, but Zhao Beisheng was motionless, as if he did not hear it.

He did not argue and was slowly escorted out of the house by the police, only stopping at the door to look back once more at the Zhao family's villa behind him. He understood that he would probably never return this time.

The Zhao family was completely done for!

Chapter 253: Spying

"Dad, the Zhao family is finished!"

Lin Yong strode in, his face filled with excitement.

It had been six days since Lin Feng fought Shang Yuntao. During these six days, the entire upper class of Central Sea City learned about the incident.

From then on, the Lin family truly entered the upper class of Central Sea City!

Mr. Lin glanced at Lin Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, and only nodded slightly. In reality, he had long known that this would be the outcome.

Lin Feng had already become the Legate. Even Zhao Dongsheng had been captured and sent to the Martial Artist Court. With a word from Lin Feng, the Zhao family would be finished.

After all, the Zhao family did not have a clean background either.

Lin Yong, on the other hand, seemed to be holding back his emotions. In the past, when he was in charge of the Lin Corporation, he had suffered a lot due to the Zhao family. Now that he saw the Zhao family's outcome, he was naturally very excited.

"Dad, the Zhao family is really finished this time. Zhao Ping was sentenced to death, and Zhao Beisheng was sentenced to life imprisonment. The East Sea Corporation is already in chaos, but the other factions haven't rushed forward to divide it. It's a little strange."

Lin Yong did find it very strange. According to his experience in the business world, shouldn't everyone kick someone when they're down? The other factions had seen how profitable the East Sea Corporation was. It should be impossible for them to not take action.

But now, everything was calm. Could the Zhao family still have some trump card?

Mr. Lin shook his head. He was very satisfied with Lin Yong. Lin Yong was the most suitable person to take over the Lin Corporation. However, Lin Yong had always been a businessman, and his perception could not break out of that of a businessman.

"Lin Yong, do you think they don't want to go up? That's because they don't dare to. It's because the East Sea Corporation are the spoils they left for our Lin family!"

Mr. Lin's words enlightened Lin Yong. That's right. With Lin Feng around, who caused the collapse of the Zhao family, the father and son of the Zhao family would both be jailed. If the Zhao family was finished, how long could the East Sea Corporation hold out?

The reason why it had not collapsed was that they wanted to leave it for the Lin family!

"I see. Lin Feng, it's all thanks to you this time. I'll immediately organize the legal department to begin negotiations on the acquisition of the East Sea Corporation."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work."

Lin Yong left in a hurry. He was in charge of the Lin Corporation, and did not have any free time every day.

"Dad, Big Brother doesn't actually have to work so hard."

Lin Feng frowned and said.

However, Mr. Lin shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own value. A person works hard in order to realize their own value. If you don't allow your big brother to work so hard, what hope is there if he just stays at home all day? Everyone needs their own vision and hope in life. To you, martial arts is your vision. To your big brother, the corporation is his vision. It has nothing to do with status or identity."

Lin Feng was deep in thought. He looked up and said with a smile, "Dad, I understand."

Actually, Mr. Lin was giving Lin Feng some pointers. Perhaps in terms of martial arts, Lin Feng was already a genius among geniuses and could not do better. However, Mr. Lin felt that he could still give Lin Feng some advice on life experiences.

Everyone had their own way of life. Lin Feng was a powerful martial artist, and this was enough for the Lin family! As for their eldest brother, second brother, little sister Lin Qian, and even their parents, they each had things they pursued. There was no need to force things.

This was also why the second son, Lin Hai, had always been in the army and might carry out dangerous missions, but Mr. Lin still did not ask Lin Hai to return.

Lin Hai was already a soldier. That was not only Lin Hai's identity, but also his vision!

"By the way, Dad, Second Brother can at least visit home sometime, right?"

"Yes, I didn't manage to reach him yesterday. He's probably on some secret mission again. He'll contact me when he's free. When the time comes, I'll ask him to return for a family reunion."

Beep-beep.

At this moment, Mr. Lin's communicator rang.

"Brother Shen, all right, today it is. I'll come to your law enforcement team to settle the handover later."

Lin Feng hung up the communicator and shook his head helplessly. "Dad, Shen Jianxin can't wait anymore. He's already urged me a few times. That's just as well. In any case, I'm the Legate of Central Sea City and won't leave for three years. I'll go settle the handover procedures today."

"All right, go ahead."

Lin Feng stood up and left the villa. When he boarded the airship outside the villa, he felt as if someone was spying on him. However, he scanned his surroundings with his mental power and did not find anyone.

"Did I imagine it?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and walked into the airship.

Soon, the airship took off and flew towards the law enforcement team's building.

Not long after Lin Feng's spaceship left, in a building in the distance, a man in a black robe stared at the screen.

The screen was displaying the scene outside the Lin family's villa.

"The target has left the Lin family and is heading for the law enforcement building in Central Sea City."

One by one, information was continuously collated before being delivered.

If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely be shocked. This was because among these there was actually information about him since he was young, including the strange illness he was afflicted with, and his matters when attending Central Sea University.

After that, there was information on Lin Feng going to the Myriad Academy, the Dragon Mountain Base, the South Mountain Base, the Global Martial Arts Competition, and so on. All the information was gathered in detail. Even the secret base he went to with Sage Kang and the others went to was recorded.

It had to be known that the base that Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi brought Lin Feng to was top secret!

"Judging from the battle between Lin Feng and Shang Yuntao, the probability of Lin Feng obtaining an ancient civilization's legacy is more than 90%! This legacy does not seem to cultivate Astral Power and specializes on cultivating the physical body. Moreover, it's especially powerful. It can easily defeat Divine Realm martial artists with two life transitions. It appears to be in the Meta-divine tier of strength! It is advisable for at least three Meta-divine Realm experts to join forces before launching an attack. To be safe, at least five Meta-divine Realm experts are required."

After the message was sent, the man in the black robe waited quietly.

"Continue to observe. Do not launch an attack in the city. If he shows any signs of leaving the city, report immediately!"

After receiving the message, a strange smile appeared on the black-robed man's lips.

…

The airship landed in front of the law enforcement team's building. Shen Jianxin had long brought many law enforcement team members to welcome them.

"Brother Lin, you're finally here!"

Shen Jianxin laughed loudly.

"Brother Shen, why are you in such a hurry to leave as the Legate?"

Lin Feng found it strange. Logically speaking, the Legate was a wonderful job. It's desirable to stay as long as possible. Shen Jianxin, on the other hand, kept urging Lin Feng to come and complete the handover procedures.

It was as if he wished he could leave immediately.

"Brother Lin, you might not know this, but I've been transferred to the Moro Mountain Base this time. A war will break out there soon. Haha, there are a few Meta-divine Realm experts commanding there. The sooner I arrive at the Moro Mountain Base, the sooner I can make preparations and earn more merit value. Perhaps I can also obtain the Hero of Humanity Medal like Brother Lin."

Lin Feng came to a realization. No wonder Shen Jianxin was so eager to hand over the position. It turned out that he was in a hurry to "earn merit".

"All right, then, I wish Brother Shen success!"

"Haha, thank you for your kind words, Brother Lin. I've already prepared the handover procedures. You just need to go up and confirm it."

Hence, Shen Jianxin led Lin Feng into the building.

Chapter 254: Posthumous Portrait

Beep.

After the procedures were completed, the higher-ups also confirmed it. From today onwards, Lin Feng officially became the Legate of Central Sea City for a three-year term!

Shen Jianxin looked at everything in the office and sighed. "Brother Lin, having been here for three years, I'm a little reluctant to actually leave."

Lin Feng nodded. Three years was actually quite a long time, especially since he had only used a year to undergo a tremendous change in his body. He was practically a living legend.

"Then Brother Shen can stay for a few days before leaving."

"Haha, there's no need for that. Since the procedures have been completed, I'll set off immediately. I'll leave the Central Sea City in your hands in the future!"

With that, Shen Jianxin turned around and left resolutely. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave.

Lin Feng sat in his office and gathered all the law enforcement team members.

Originally, there were 23 Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the law enforcement team of Central Sea City. However, without Zhao Dongsheng, there were only 22 left. Among them, there were 13 Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, which made up the majority. The remaining were all First Level and Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

After all, the law enforcement team had to deal with martial artists who had broken the genetic lock, and needed to capture them. Hence, all of the team were quite strong.

These 22 people were divided into four squads, with an average of six people per squad. However, there used to be 24 people before there was one less. Dongsheng was gone as well, only 22 people were left. Hence, two of the squads only had five people now.

The four Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists standing before Lin Feng were the leaders of the four squads.

Lin Feng saw that these law enforcement team members were a little nervous. After all, he was a distinguished Divine Realm expert, and he had defeated Shang Yuntao so "brutally" previously.

It was impossible for these people not to be nervous.

"Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. We can keep up how it was like when Brother Shen was here. I'm just meeting everyone today to get acquainted. Everyone, you can leave first. The four captains will stay behind."

Lin Feng left the four captains behind. They could be considered his direct subordinates.

"You are usually in charge of the law enforcement team's work. I won't interfere unnecessarily."

This put the four of them at ease. Besides, Lin Feng did not come to be the Legate to make a grand undertaking. Hence, there was no need to cling to authority at all.

Moreover, how much authority could a mere law enforcement team have?

"Tell me, how are Shang Yuntao and Zhao Dongsheng?"

Among the four captains, Captain Wei took a step forward and said, "Lord Legate, Shang Yuntao and Zhao Dongsheng were both taken away by the people from the Martial Artist Court. Shang Yuntao was sentenced to guard the frontline for 20 years, and Zhao Dongsheng was sentenced to guard the frontline for 15 years."

"I understand. All of you can leave."

Soon, Lin Feng was the only one left in the office.

Back then, Zhao Dongsheng alone had suppressed the Lin family to the point of suffocation. If not for his second brother, Lin Hai, inviting General Long over, there was no knowing how the Zhao family would continue to deal with the Lin family.

And now?

Only a year had passed, but there had already been a sea change. With a word from Lin Feng, the Zhao family was completely finished.

Zhao Dongsheng was sentenced to guard the frontline and could not leave for 15 years. Lin Feng actually no longer saw Zhao Dongsheng as a threat. Never mind whether Zhao Dongsheng lucky enough to survive these 15 years, so what if he did?

Fifteen years later, how powerful would Lin Feng become? Three life transitions, or four life transitions?

When the gap reached a certain level, Zhao Dongsheng would despair even if he wanted to take revenge.

Hence, the matter with the Zhao family was over. Lin Feng would no longer pay attention to Zhao Dongsheng.

On the other hand, Shang Yuntao was a Divine Realm martial artist. It was actually not difficult for him to survive for 20 years. If he was lucky enough to undergo the third life transition at the frontline and become a Meta-divine Realm martial artist, he would be a threat.

But that was all.

If Lin Feng were still in the Divine Realm or the Meta-divine Realm, Shang Yuntao might still harbor resentment. However, what if Lin Feng underwent four life transitions and became a Sage? Or even stronger than a Sage?

At that time, Shang Yuntao probably wouldn't even hold a trace of resentment. When the difference was unimaginable, even if one held resentment, they would conceal it deep down and not dare to reveal it .

There was an endless stream of people coming and going outside the window. Lin Feng stood in front of the window and looked down. Unknowingly, Lin Feng had already become the upper echelons of humanity, high and mighty. People or things that seemed unreachable in the past were now easily reachable to him.

Lin Feng even vaguely lost the motivation to "strive".

He looked up at the void. There was a Canopy there, and beyond the Canopy was the cosmos. According to Longbetham, the cosmos was cold and cruel, but it was also an incomparably wonderful place.

Beep-beep-beep.

Just as Lin Feng was lamenting, his communicator suddenly rang urgently.

He picked up the communicator and connected immediately.

"Dad, what is it?"

"Lin Feng, quick, come back. Your second brother…"

Thud.

Lin Feng hung up and immediately went downstairs to rush home on the airship.

…

In the Lin family's living room, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, Lin Yong, and Lin Qian were all gathered.

Apart from the Lin family, there were five soldiers. They held a posthumous portrait in their hands with solemn expressions.

Mr. Lin reached out with shaking hands to take the portrait. His lips were trembling, and he could not say anything. Tears were already streaming down his face. Mrs. Lin's voice was hoarse from crying.

Lin Yong's eyes were also bloodshot, and the veins on his arms bulged violently, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself.

Even Lin Qian's face was pale. She looked at the portrait in heavy grief.

"Uncle, Auntie, please restrain your grief…"

There were five soldiers. Judging from their ranks, there were four majors and one general. Among them, the general was even General Long, whom the Lin family knew. However, at this moment, General Long's eyes were also dim and filled with regret.

This was his second time coming to the Lin family. The first time, he was here to help the Lin family resolve their troubles, but he did not expect to come to the Lin family in such a manner the second time.

"General Long, how did this happen to Lin Hai?"

Mr. Lin's voice shook. No matter how strong a person was, they could not control themselves when faced with such a situation.

Bang.

Before General Long could answer, the door was suddenly pushed open at this moment.

Swoosh.

Lin Feng stood at the door. He saw five unfamiliar soldiers at a glance.

In particular, there was a posthumous portrait on the table!

"Lin Feng?"

General Long naturally knew Lin Feng. He had not investigated before, so he did not know that Lin Feng had returned.

The last time General Long visited Lin Feng, Lin Feng was still sickly and suffering from a strange illness. Later on, Lin Feng rose to power and even obtained first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition.

However, one would not feel it just looking at reports and videos.

But now, seeing Lin Feng in person, General Long suddenly felt a sense of oppression. That's right, oppression. Lin Feng's body emitted a terrifying aura that made even he feel as if he was about to suffocate.

Was this still a Metamorphic Realm martial artist? Even a Divine Realm martial artist probably did not have such a terrifying aura.

Chapter 255: Dormant Volcano

Step by step, Lin Feng entered the room slowly, his gaze fixed on the portrait on the table.

His second brother, Lin Hai!

Lin Feng almost could not believe this grievous news. How could his second brother die just like that?

Lin Feng's family had always been the Achilles' heel that no one was allowed to touch! Plagued by a strange illness since he was young, his family cared deeply for him. Even his second brother Lin Hai, whom he rarely saw, would bring some things back for him from the army.

But now, his second brother was dead?

"How did Second Brother die?"

Lin Feng showed no sadness at all. In fact, his expression was very cold. However, it was this coldness that seemed to chill the room immensely.

Even General Long could not help but feel intimidated. However, under Lin Feng's cold gaze, he nonetheless gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Lin Hai was killed in action when carrying out a special mission!"

"What mission?"

"I'm sorry, but Lin Hai was carrying out a highly confidential mission. Please forgive me for not being able to disclose it."

Even though General Long also felt immense pressure, he still resisted it. Such a confidential mission could never be revealed to anyone.

Bang.

Lin Feng threw a lightning-quick punch. Before anyone could react, General Long was sent flying.

This was the result of Lin Feng showing restraint. Otherwise, even if Lin Feng had not used his combat body, with his current physique, he was far from what a mere Metamorphic Realm martial artist could resist.

Swoosh.

The four soldiers brought by General Long immediately stood in front of Lin Feng and berated loudly, "Lin Feng, what are you trying to do?"

"Get lost!"

The Mental Power Sphere in Lin Feng's mind erupted violently, and terrifying mental power swept out like a storm. The four soldiers trembled as if they were facing a horrifying dire beast.

This was a mental storm. Lin Feng's mental power was not strong yet, so it could only affect ordinary people who had not broken the genetic lock. However, if it were stronger, it would even be able to affect those Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

The four soldiers' bodies stiffened, and they even forgot to stop him. Lin Feng walked straight to General Long and grabbed him. He asked coldly, "What mission was my second brother on?"

"Lin Feng, calm down! Lin Hai was carrying out a secret mission. I'm also very pained by his death, but there's nothing I can do…"

Bang.

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng threw General Long to the ground.

General Long could not resist Lin Feng at all.

"What mission was Second Brother on?"

Lin Feng asked again and again. His tone was as cold as ice, and even vaguely revealed killing intent. General Long had a feeling that if he did not answer today, Lin Feng would really dare to kill him.

When had Lin Feng become so terrifying?

However, General Long was a soldier. He would never speak under threat.

"Lin Feng, Lin Hai was carrying out a confidential mission. Moreover, he volunteered for the mission. Therefore, I cannot tell you the truth."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Fury and even killing intent were indeed brewing in his heart. At this moment, his killing intent was boiling, as if nothing could stop him.

"Lin Feng, what are you doing?" Mr. Lin finally reacted and immediately shouted.

Lin Feng took a long look at General Long on the ground, then closed his eyes slightly.

"General Long, I'm sorry. But even if Second Brother is dead, we can't just brush it over like this. I'll find his corpse and bring him back for burial!"

With that, Lin Feng turned around.

"Lin Feng, how are you going to bring back Lin Hai's corpse when you don't know anything,? Moreover, that place is very dangerous. Forget about you, even Divine Realm martial artists have little chance of survival there…"

General Long shouted from behind Lin Feng. He actually did not blame Lin Feng.

Back when the Lin family handed Lin Hai over to him, he had devoted himself to nurturing Lin Hai. But now? Lin Hai was dead, yet he was still alive. Sometimes, thinking about it, perhaps this was the greatest injustice.

However, Lin Feng did not stop. Instead, he walked straight into the airship. The airship quickly took off and disappeared into the horizon.

"Cough…"

General Long coughed lightly. Lin Feng's attacks just now were really ruthless. Moreover, the Astral Power in his body was actually completely useless.

"General Long, what mission exactly was Lin Hai on?" Mr. Lin was also in tears.

"I'm sorry, I can't say. Hurry up and ask Lin Feng to come back. That place is really too dangerous…"

"We won't be able to make him come back. No one can stop Lin Feng once he's set his mind on something." Mr. Lin shook his head.

"I wonder where he's going? Lin Hai was on a confidential mission. He won't be able to find it."

"General Long, that's not necessarily the case. You probably don't know this, right? Lin Feng has already reached the Divine Realm and is now the Legate of Central Sea City. Perhaps he really has some way to investigate the mission carried out by Lin Hai."

"What? He became a Divine Realm martial artist, and a Legate at that?"

General Long's expression changed abruptly. He had rushed over to Central Sea this time, and really had not investigated the Lin family's situation. He had thought that Lin Feng was still a genius martial artist from the Global Martial Arts Competition.

Unexpectedly, the genius martial artist from back then had already become a true expert, a Legate who presided over a region!

Perhaps with Lin Feng's network, he might really be able to investigate Lin Hai's situation. However, anyone who went to that place now would die!

"No, Lin Hai is already dead. Lin Feng must stay safe no matter what. Otherwise, I'll be letting Lin Hai down!"

General Long immediately bade farewell to the Lin family and left in a hurry.

…

In the airship, Lin Feng's expression was ice-cold. At this moment, all the contentment, leisure, and beauty had disappeared. His heart was churning incessantly like a volcanic eruption.

Even Lin Feng himself could not control his killing intent.

His family was his Achilles' heel. Now, his second brother was dead, and he had died without a whole body. His corpse had not even been found. Lin Feng could not tolerate this.

No matter what, he had to bring his second brother home, even if only his corpse was left!

Although General Long refused to tell what mission Second Brother Lin Hai was carrying out and where he had encountered danger, Lin Feng had his own ways.

"Longbetham, help me to locate Second Brother's communicator!" Lin Feng said coldly.

No matter what mission it was, he must have brought his communicator with him. Even if he did not bring his communicator, Lin Feng would definitely be able to find his second brother Lin Hai's camp with it. Then, he would not be far from finding his second brother.

"Lin Feng, your second brother's communicator signal disappeared a long time ago, but I found the last coordinates before your second brother's signal disappeared."

Longbetham sent the coordinates to Lin Feng, who input them directly into the control room of the airship.

"Second Brother, I'll bring you home…"

Lin Feng muttered softly. His expression did not relax, and his gaze became even colder, like a dormant volcano that could erupt at any moment.

…

Beep.

In the dark room, the black-robed man, who was paying close attention to Lin Feng's movements, sent a message.

"Target has left Central Sea City in an airship."

After the message was sent, the room fell silent again.
