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 256: I Really Want to Kill Someone!

Tall mountain ranges filled the Outland, and there was no trace of human activity.

Suddenly, five airships approached from afar and gradually arrived above Ox Head Mountain.

The Ox Head Mountain was shaped like an ox's head, hence its name. In the past, martial artists had once fought a brutal war here and defeated a type of dire beast Predator.

That war back then was extremely ruthless. Apart from the Sages, who were not involved, some of the other Meta-divine Realm and Divine Realm martial artists died in battle before those Predators were finally defeated.

From then on, although Ox Head Mountain was also deep in the Outland, there were not many dire beasts left. The human territory advanced by more than a thousand kilometers.

Although the Ox Head Mountain had a special significance, this place had yet to be developed by humans. It was uninhabited, and there were still large open areas below, giving it a slightly desolate appearance.

The five airships flew above Ox Head Mountain and landed. The cabin door of the airship opened, and five mysterious people in black robes and masks walked out.

"Number 131."

One of the mysterious men in black robes said. His voice was obviously disguised and a little hoarse. It sounded very old, but no one could be certain of his age.

"Number 145."

"Number 294."

"Number 483."

"Number 516."

The five mysterious people in black robes all reported their enigmatic numbers. Their voices were all disguised, and even their gender was difficult to distinguish.

The five of them gathered together gave off a bizarre air.

"Numbers correct! I believe that everyone has received the mission?"

"The mission target is Lin Feng, who rose to fame some time ago! How could a mere Metamorphic Realm martial artist like him ascend to the Divine Realm so quickly?"

"Therefore, this is the goal of the mission. As usual, we are not allowed to casually inquire about each other's true identities. We must listen to the leader's orders. After the mission is successful, we are not allowed to snatch the spoils of war privately. Is everyone clear?"

The one who spoke was the mysterious person who was Number 131. He was the temporary leader of this mission.

"Heh, of course we know. We are all martial artists with status and authority, who oversee a region. We all know the severity of the consequences if our identities are exposed."

The others nodded in agreement as well.

They were all Meta-divine martial artists in real life, who had high statuses and usually presided over a region. They were admired by countless martial artists, and viewed as heroes of humanity by countless people.

However, this was only what was on the surface. In private, they had all joined the dark organization called "Night Devil".

The Night Devil organization was very secretive. No one knew where its headquarters were or how many members it had, let alone who its founder was.

It was like a cancer that thrived within the five major factions. Many of the upper echelons of the five major factions knew about the existence of the Night Devil, but they were powerless to do anything, and had no way to eliminate it.

The Nine Sages had even launched a large-scale investigation over this, but it was useless. The Night Devil was still hidden in broad daylight, among all martial artists.

Be it Meta-divine martial artists, Divine Realm martial artists, Metamorphic Realm martial artists, or even professional martial artists, there were people among them who had joined the Night Devil.

These martial artists were usually normal martial artists who fought fiercely with dire beasts to guard the frontline for humanity. However, once the Night Devil issued missions, things would be different.

Every once in a while, the Night Devil would issue some missions. These missions were either targeted at individuals or certain organizations. Once the missions were issued, those Night Devil members who met the mission requirements could accept the missions, and complete the missions together.

Hence, every time the Night Devil organized a mission, every Night Devil member would try their best to hide their true identities. None of them knew each other, and they would only gather together for the sake of a mission.

No one dared to expose their identities lightly. Once their true identities were exposed, it would almost spell death. The five major factions would never let any of the Night Devils off.

After completing the mission, Night Devil would send certain rewards for the mission to every Night Devil member who participated in the mission through special channels.

For instance, this time, Night Devil had issued a mission to capture Lin Feng, and the mission reward was Lin Feng's secret!

When these five Night Devil members received the mission, the condition was that they were at least Meta-divine Realm martial artists. Then, they would receive comprehensive information on Lin Feng, detailed from childhood to adulthood.

Hence, these five Night Devil members knew Lin Feng very well.

As for what benefits there were for the founder of Night Devil?

It was obvious that the founder would be able to obtain the benefits of all the missions. After all, even the mission rewards were distributed by Night Devil.

It was not that there were no Night Devil members who tried to spy on the founder of Night Devil, but none of them succeeded. Instead, all of them had their identities as members of Night Devil exposed, and met miserable ends.

As the temporary leader of this mission, the Night Devil member who was Number 131 was actually just giving simple orders. These people did not necessarily obey him. They were just making do with each other temporarily to complete the mission.

"I believe everyone has seen Lin Feng's information. He must have obtained some ancient legacy. It doesn't cultivate Astral Power, but after the second life transition, one would be comparable to a peak Divine Realm martial artist! None of us know what his trump card is. Don't be careless."

"Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit. We all know that."

The temporary leader Number 131 nodded. Then, he looked at the time and said, "According to Night Devil's intelligence, Lin Feng will be passing through Ox Head Mountain soon. Everyone, get ready."

"Heh, don't worry. We'll give Lin Feng a huge surprise this time!"

The five Night Devils quickly hid, as if they had never appeared.

…

Ox Head Mountain.

In the airship, Lin Feng saw Ox Head Mountain. Normally, he might have stopped to admire the view, but he was not in the mood now.

Beep-beep-beep.

Suddenly, just as the airship was about to fly over Ox Head Mountain, an alarm sounded.

"Warning, warning, the airship is locked on by laser weapons!"

Swish.

Lin Feng lifted his head abruptly. Five dazzling lights shot over from the ground at once. They were terrifying laser weapons.

Lin Feng's airship could not defend against five laser weapons at all.

Lin Feng's gaze was cold. The cabin door of the airship suddenly opened, and he stepped out.

Boom.

Lin Feng's arm suddenly extended like an octopus as he grabbed forcefully at the five lasers.

The terrifying lasers instantly exploded on Lin Feng's arm, but Lin Feng did not move in the slightest. His body expanded to 30 meters tall, and was covered in a layer of gray armor as he stood in the void.

Only five laser weapons could destroy the airship, but they were like tickles to Lin Feng. They were completely useless.

Lin Feng was also doing this to protect the airship. He did not want the airship he had purchased at a huge cost to be destroyed just like that.

"You can come out now."

Lin Feng swept his gaze below and stood with his hands behind his back.

As expected, as soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, five mysterious men in black robes flew up from below. All of them were wearing masks, and their black robes covered their entire bodies, making it impossible to see their appearances clearly.

"Who are you?"

"People who are here to kill you, of course! However, if you are willing to hand over the ancient civilization legacy you obtained, we can consider sparing you."

The temporary leader Number 131 said in a hoarse voice.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he swept his gaze across the five of them.

He understood now. These five people belonged to the "dark factions" that the Invincible Fist Sage had warned him about.

In this world, where light is, there darkness will be also. Even though the five major factions controlled the world and the Nine Sages suppressed everything, there were still martial artists who walked in the dark to commit immoral acts for their own selfish reasons.

But they wanted to intercept him at a time like this?

Lin Feng smiled. Killing intent boiled under his calm gaze, erupting like a volcano.

"Want to know something?"

Lin Feng laughed, his tone abnormally calm.

"I have to thank you guys, because I really want to kill someone!"

Lin Feng's voice grew louder and louder, but in the end, it exploded like thunder. Endless killing intent erupted wildly like a volcano.

He needed to vent. The death of his second brother, Lin Hai, had already put Lin Feng on the verge of erupting. Now, he saw that these five mysterious martial artists in the dark were actually intercepting him to kill him.

His killing intent simply could not be suppressed any longer!

Boom.

Lin Feng's body suddenly expanded, and a terrible aura surged in all directions. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the forest like blood.

In the blood-red hue of the setting sun, killing intent soared!

Chapter 257: King of Deities!

"Attack!"

Almost immediately, the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists unleashed a shocking strike!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After all, they were Meta-divine Realm martial artists. All of them dominated an area. They were the strongest experts apart from the Nine Sages, and were only one life transition away from becoming Sages.

Hence, even though they were just a temporary "motley crew", with their rich experience, they could still cooperate and unleash terrifying power.

This was the case now. Lin Feng was dealt a fatal blow by five Meta-divine Realm martial artists in an instant!

Devastating Astral Power wreaked havoc. The Astral martial arts utilized by five Meta-divine Realm martial artists were incredibly formidable. Lin Feng, who was at the center of the storm, felt as if the surrounding space had distorted all of a sudden.

The terrifying force struck Lin Feng and exploded violently like a miniature sun.

The five Meta-divine Realm martial artists all had apathetic gazes. All of them were very prideful. Asking them to deal with a martial artist at the same time was already making a mountain out of a molehill, let alone deal with a Divine Realm martial artist with two life transitions.

There was a huge gap between the Divine Realm and the Meta-divine Realm. In ancient times, although those of the Divine Realm were rare, not only did Divine Realm martial artists exist in every era, there were a certain number of them in every era.

In an era where martial arts had flourished, it was rumored that there were hundreds of Divine Realm martial artists who attacked each other, called the Era of Chaos! It was also known as the Hundred Deities Vying!

However, be it the Era of Chaos or the Era of Hundred Deities, it was a true and recorded era. In that era, the capable and the powerful had emerged in droves, yet in the end, only one Transcendent Realm martial artist had appeared!

In the end, the Era of Hundred Deities was ended by the Meta-divine Realm martial artist.

Hence, while ancient Divine Realm martial artists were high and mighty deities, Meta-divine Realm martial artists were the kings among deities, and considered legendary great beings!

In fact, it might take centuries for a king of deities to be born!

With the eruption of modern technology, not only were there many more Meta-divine Realm martial artists, even Sages had unprecedentedly appeared. The all-powerful Sages suppressed everything and reestablished the modern order.

However, this still could not overshadow the glory of a Meta-divine Realm martial artist. Every Meta-divine Realm martial artist was definitely someone at the top of the hierarchy of human society.

But now, Lin Feng was attacked by five Meta-divine Realm experts, who were equivalent to five kings of deities. In ancient times, such power would have been enough to dominate the entire world and create an era!

Lin Feng roared at the sky. At this moment, he could not hold back at all. The violent Astral martial arts transformed into a terrifying force, threatening to annihilate him from all directions.

That was true annihilation. Even his cells would disappear directly. It was not that the so-called undying characteristic would not take effect, but that it wouldn't take effect in time before annihilation.

If Lin Feng was still the same as he used to be, even if he had undergone a second life transition, without cultivating the combat body, he would still be doomed!

But now, he had cultivated the combat body, and his body quickly expanded to a huge body of 100 meters. The defensive advantage of the Tidal Combat Body was vividly displayed.

The attacks of the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists only caused the Tidal Combat Body to shake slightly, and innumerable cells to be annihilated.

However, to Lin Feng's almost infinite cells, this small amount of damage was almost nothing. It could not harm Lin Feng at all.

As the dust settled, Lin Feng's extremely fearsome combat body showed clearly in the eyes of the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists. He was somehow unscathed from the terrifying strike by the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists. Such defense was formidable!

However, that was all!

None of the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists retreated. Instead, they all stared at Lin Feng with burning gazes.

Why did they accept Night Devil's mission at such a great risk?

Naturally, it was for the secrets on Lin Feng!

What secrets did Lin Feng have?

Lin Feng had many secrets. He had gone from the first life transition to the second life transition in a year. Now, with just two life transitions, he could withstand the attacks of five Meta-divine Realm martial artists with three life transitions, and challenge people of a higher tier.

Such a situation was almost unprecedented. In the past, even the most incredible genius would find it very difficult to challenge someone above their tier.

But Lin Feng had accomplished it today!

This was like discovering a new continent to the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists, who were stuck in a bottleneck. Originally, they had thought it was impossible for them to undergo the fourth life transition in this lifetime.

However, Lin Feng's appearance now seemed to have opened a new window before their eyes.

So, such strength was possible without cultivating Astral Power?

Perhaps by obtaining the secrets on Lin Feng, they could fully understand the mysteries of four life transitions, and become the tenth Sage!

Even if the hope was very slim, they were willing to do whatever it took.

"Die!"

Lin Feng attacked as well. He suddenly struck out with one arm, completely suppressing his opponent with force. A mighty force tore through the air, emitting a sonic boom.

It was as if even the air was compressed to the extreme.

Bang.

Lin Feng shattered the body of a Meta-divine Realm martial artist with a single strike, but his entire body turned to ashes and dissipated into the void.

"Huh?"

Lin Feng frowned. He glanced around. There were still five Meta-divine Realm martial artists around him. Then, who was the martial artist he had just killed?

"Lin Feng, do you know why Meta-divine Realm martial artists can crush Divine Realm martial artists? You only have brute force, and can never understand the true methods of a Meta-divine Realm martial artist…"

The temporary leader, the mysterious martial artist Number 131, said in a low voice. A disquieting smile appeared on his lips.

Buzz. Buzz.

At the same time, translucent and terrifying dire beasts or some prehistoric and terrifying monsters gradually appeared in front of the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists.

This was not an illusion. Lin Feng scanned with his mental power and immediately understood. These were the so-called Divine Warriors condensed from Astral Power!

"Go, kill him!"

The temporary leader, the mysterious martial artist Number 131, pointed at Lin Feng casually. Then, a terrifying monster about ten meters in height in front of him immediately roared and charged towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He could sense that this monster did not have any life force. It was only condensed from Astral Power.

Bang.

Lin Feng shattered this monster condensed entirely from Astral Power with a punch. He felt that these monsters were just too weak.

"Too weak!"

"Is that so? Then how about my Divine Kingdom?"

"Divine Kingdom?"

Boom.

In an instant, the sky seemed to have dimmed. Numerous prehistoric monsters, as if they had come alive from the myths, stared menacingly at Lin Feng.

Chapter 258: Divine Kingdom

"Too weak!" Lin Feng still said coldly.

Monsters condensed from mere Astral Power did not even have intelligence. What threat could they pose to him with numbers alone?

On the other hand, there was something special about the surrounding Astral Force Field. Even Lin Feng was forcefully pulled into the Astral Force Field. In this Astral Force Field, the Astral Power of Meta-divine martial artists seemed infinite. They could even directly absorb the star power in the void and convert it rapidly.

As Lin Feng shattered the prehistoric monsters condensed from Astral Power again and again, the other party did not care at all. Hundreds of monsters continued pouncing towards Lin Feng like moths to a flame.

"Keep killing. How many can you kill? Almost no Astral Power is significantly exhausted in my Divine Kingdom. How many can you kill?"

The Meta-divine Realm martial artist opposite him laughed loudly.

Lin Feng also gradually understood that the so-called Divine Kingdom was actually this special Astral Force Field. Within this special Astral Force Field, Meta-divine martial artists could constantly condense Astral Beasts, which were called Divine Warriors!

These Divine Warriors were infinite. Even if Lin Feng defeated all of them, it was useless. This was because the defeated monsters were condensed from Astral Power, and dissipated into Astral Power again. They were confined within the Astral Force Field and reused by the Meta-divine martial artists.

This could form a positive loop. Even if there was some depletion of Astral Power, a Meta-divine Realm martial artist could just absorb star power and convert it into Astral Power to make up for this portion of consumed Astral Power.

Once trapped in the Divine Kingdom, there was no way to escape without breaking the Astral Force Field.

This was the true reason why Meta-divine martial artists were known as the kings of deities. Once Meta-divine martial artists deployed the Divine Kingdom, even dozens of Divine Realm martial artists would face certain death if trapped!

Previously, Lin Feng was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. His achievements in martial arts were nothing great. It was already very impressive that he knew about Divine Realm methods. As for the Meta-divine Realm, he had never even seen it before. How could he understand the various methods of Meta-divine Realm martial artists?

Now, Lin Feng finally understood how powerful Meta-divine martial artists were. With just the Divine Kingdom alone, Meta-divine martial artists were already above Divine Realm martial artists. There was an insurmountable gap between the two.

Boom.

At this moment, Lin Feng seemed to be in the depths of the dark cosmos. Meteors fell one after another from the vast cosmos, like a meteor shower.

However, the whistling might that came with them probably meant certain death once one failed to withstand it.

After all, those meteors were also constructed of Astral Power!

Lin Feng knew that the second Meta-divine martial artist had attacked. He deployed his Divine Kingdom and pulled Lin Feng into another Astral Force Field.

"Kingdom of Wilderness!"

"Stellar World!"

These were only two Divine Kingdoms and two Astral Force Fields, yet they actually made Lin Feng feel a hint of pressure. They were indeed worthy of Meta-divine Realm martial artists, powerful lifeforms with three life transitions!

Although martial arts were not worth mentioning at all in Longbetham's eyes, and were even a cultivation system that had gone astray, there was naturally a reason why martial arts could exist for so long and create the foundation for the ninth civilization of the longstanding humanity.

This Divine Kingdom was not bad. Using massive Astral Power, it weaved Astral Force Fields. This method was simply miraculous. It amazed even Lin Feng, who had cultivated the combat body and entered the cosmic cultivation system.

The Kingdom of Wilderness and the Stellar World, two Divine Kingdoms which descended as two force fields, could already ensnare Lin Feng. Although they could not injure Lin Feng for the time being, the outcome as time went on already appeared predictable.

Especially when there were still three Meta-divine Realm martial artists who had not attacked.

"Blizzard World!"

"Eternal Purgatory!"

"Void World!"

The remaining three Meta-divine Realm martial artists did not "disappoint" Lin Feng. Five types of Divine Kingdom in the form of five Astral Force Fields were superimposed on Lin Feng's body at the same time.

For a moment, the pressure on Lin Feng increased severalfold. These were what true Meta-divine Realm martial artists were like. They had already broken away from the mode of relying on the eruption of Astral Power, and studied Astral Power to another level.

The force field of the Kingdom of Wilderness allowed Lin Feng to see all kinds of prehistoric monsters. They were all fearsome monsters that had already become extinct. Although they were condensed from Astral Power, they made one feel as if they were in a true prehistoric wilderness.

The Stellar World was even more terrifying. It pulled Lin Feng into a starry cosmos.

The starry cosmos was the universe. Then, cosmic disasters were created one after another in the terrible Astral Force Field.

In this Divine Kingdom, the most terrifying cosmic disaster was undoubtedly the meteor shower. Meteors fell one after another, making Lin Feng feel as if he was in the midst of an apocalypse.

There was also the Blizzard World. There was a vast expanse of white snow everywhere. Terrifying snow monsters appeared, and even snow mountains collapsed, creating terrifying avalanches.

The Eternal Purgatory was a strange and distorted force field. All kinds of mythical evil spirits could affect people's emotions. Even Lin Feng, who had condensed a Mental Power Sphere, would still be affected to a certain extent.

What was even more bizarre was the Void World. It was an expanse of nothingness. Within this strange force field, Lin Feng was alone. No matter where he went, there was nothing.

The mental torment was almost more terrifying than any torture.

Five Divine Kingdoms and five force fields!

Lin Feng had seen how daunting Meta-divine Realm martial artists were, and that martial arts were not as weak as he had imagined, let alone the "trash" that Longbetham claimed it was.

Martial arts was a path of cultivation and evolution that humans had explored for countless years based on themselves, before finally formulating a system!

The five Meta-divine martial artists felt that victory was already in their grasp. They were five distinguished Meta-divine martial artists, and their Divine Kingdoms were not ordinary Divine Kingdoms either. They were all outstanding in their respective fields.

Although there was a possibility of their identities being exposed once they utilized the Divine Kingdom, they would do anything for the secret of Lin Feng.

"Five Divine Kingdoms. Do you think you can still keep your identity?"

Lin Feng was not stupid. When he saw the five Meta-divine martial artists use their respective Divine Kingdoms, he knew that they were planning to stake everything on this. After all, Meta-divine martial artists were rather rare, and Divine Kingdoms were unique. Basically every Meta-divine martial artist's Divine Kingdom was different.

As long as Lin Feng did not die, he would be able to find out the identities of these five Meta-divine Realm martial artists based on the five Divine Kingdoms in the future.

Once their identities were exposed, even five Meta-divine Realm martial artists would face certain death.

"Lin Feng, do you think you can still get out of this alive?"

"You must die after seeing our Divine Kingdoms!"

"We originally wanted to spare your life, but from the looks of it, you can't be allowed to live anymore. We'll kill you and search your body. Your secret can't stay hidden."

The voices of the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists came from all directions. With the superimposition of the five force fields, even Lin Feng's thoughts were affected to a certain extent.

However, that was all!

How could these force fields injure Lin Feng?

Even if Lin Feng stood here and deployed the Tidal Combat Body without moving, these five Meta-divine Realm martial artists could not kill Lin Feng.

The Tidal Combat Body was a combat body that excelled in defense in the cosmic cultivation system. How formidable was it?

"Only five force fields and five Divine Kingdoms. Do you think I can't break them?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, and his 100-meter-tall body actually expanded again.

Boom.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's combat body had expanded to 200 meters. This was the first time Lin Feng had unleashed his full strength and appeared in front of people with this massive combat body!

"Absorb!"

Lin Feng opened his mouth wide. His mouth seemed to have turned into a black hole all of a sudden. The five force fields, five Divine Kingdoms, and all kinds of monsters, meteors, ice, spirits, and so on were all swallowed by Lin Feng.

To him, be it spirits or monsters, as long as they were condensed from Astral Power, they were the most delectable delicacies in the world. He could swallow them in one gulp!

Chapter 259: The Power of the Combat Body!

Boom.

Lin Feng seemed to have transformed into a black hole that devoured everything!

Energy. All this Astral Power was energy. Everything in the Divine Kingdom was made of Astral Power. Be it the Divine Warriors or the Astral Force Field, without Astral Power, they were nothing.

To other martial artists, perhaps this was the most terrifying thing. Being in the middle of five Astral Fields meant certain death. Even a Meta-divine Realm martial artist would not be able to escape their doom!

However, for Lin Feng, no matter how strong the Astral Force Field was, as long as it could not destroy his combat body in an instant, he had nothing to fear. On the contrary, these Astral Fields were even the energy he wanted to devour the most.

As Lin Feng opened his mouth, his body emitted an endless suction force, constantly pulling in all the surrounding Astral Power.

Those monsters, meteors, ice, evil spirits, and so on were all transformed into energy and devoured by Lin Feng in one gulp. As for the Astral Force Field, without Astral Power, how could it still be called a force field?

Lin Feng's combat body was originally just 200 meters tall, but the combat body could still be cultivated. Although it might not improve by much in the end, as long as there was enough energy, it could be improved by some degree.

For instance, as he devoured such a massive amount of energy, Lin Feng's original 200-meter-tall combat body began to expand in an instant.

Two hundred and one meters, two hundred and two meters, two hundred and three meters…

Seeing that Lin Feng was constantly devouring Astral Power, and that his daunting body was actually still expanding and emitting a terrifying aura, the laughter of the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists came to an abrupt halt. Even the expressions on their unseen faces were probably frozen now.

That was five Divine Kingdoms and five Astral Force Fields!

Apart from Sages, they could not think of anyone else who could contend against the five Divine Kingdoms. However, was Lin Feng a Sage?

They shook their heads immediately. Even they themselves did not believe that Lin Feng was a Sage. The difference between a second life transition and a fourth life transition was too great. It was impossible for them not to see that Lin Feng had indeed only experienced his second life transition.

However, the cultivation technique that Lin Feng practiced was just too bizarre. He had actually devoured all the Astral Power they had used to set up their Divine Kingdom in one gulp. To them, such a situation was practically unheard of.

Even Divine Kingdoms could be devoured?

Even though they were experienced and knowledgeable Meta-divine martial artists, kings of deities, and great beings who could create eras, they were still dumbfounded and shocked to the extreme.

"This is bad. He can devour Astral Power. Not only are our Divine Kingdoms no threat to him, they're helping him to increase his strength massively!"

The temporary leader and mysterious martial artist Number 131 said in a low voice. Even his voice was no longer so calm, but carried a trace of panic.

Lin Feng's body had expanded to 200 meters in an instant. Then, he transformed into a black hole and devoured their Astral Power in a frenzy, almost devouring all five Astral Force Fields and five Divine Kingdoms. Moreover, his body kept expanding. Even a fool would know that Lin Feng's strength was improving.

Finally, Lin Feng's body expanded to 204 meters before slowly stopping.

His 204-meter body had only increased by four meters. It was actually not of much help to Lin Feng's strength.

The Divine Kingdoms of the five Meta-divine martial artists only contributed four meters' worth of energy for Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body. According to this ratio, Lin Feng's 200-meter Tidal Combat Body was almost equivalent to 250 Meta-divine martial artists.

There were barely a hundred of Meta-divine Realm martial artist in this world, never mind 250. In other words, even if Lin Feng devoured all the Divine Kingdoms of all the Meta-divine Martial Artists in the world, he still would not be able to cultivate the 200-meter Tidal Combat Body.

For the first time, Lin Feng had a direct understanding of just how much energy was needed for the Tidal Combat Body. After all, from devouring the energy modules in the energy factory, Lin Feng could only tell that there was a lot of energy, but he did not have a direct understanding of how much exactly.

Now, Lin Feng had a very clear and intuitive understanding.

If cultivating the combat body after the second life transition required devouring so much energy, what about the third life transitions? Or even the fourth?

Lin Feng finally understood why Longbetham placed so much emphasis on energy.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The five Meta-divine Realm martial artists made a prompt decision and immediately fled in five different directions.

They knew very well that their Divine Kingdoms were already their strongest resort. However, now, not only were their Divine Kingdoms useless, they appeared to be delivering supplements to Lin Feng. How could they still fight like this?

No matter how big Lin Feng's secret was, they could only retreat for the time being now. There was only hope in the future if they saved themselves now!

"Trying to run?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath. The five Meta-divine Realm martial artists had already flown hundreds of meters away. There were still five airships waiting for them.

Once they entered the airships, they could use the speed of the airships to escape.

However, Lin Feng's killing intent was torrential now. He only glanced coldly at the five of them. Did they think that he could do nothing just because they scattered and fled?

"Transform!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng's entire combat body shook slightly. Then, three more arms appeared on his body at once.

Three arms quickly grew out of his back. Although Lin Feng did not ponder over the cells of certain dire beasts, he could change the arrangement of his cells and grow a few more arms with ease.

He could be considered a being with innumerable forms. With just a thought to change the arrangement of cells, forget about three more arms, even having 30 more arms would be nothing.

Swoosh.

Lin Feng was also extremely fast. Almost immediately, the five arms grabbed towards the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists.

His five arms instantly extended by hundreds of meters, and his palms became incomparably huge. He slammed them down from behind with a terrifying force. Even the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists felt a chill run down their spines. They felt that they had really made the wrong choice in this endeavor.

Why did they risk their lives for that minuscule hope and the secret of Lin Feng?

Bang.??

One of Lin Feng's arms instantly grabbed two Meta-divine martial artists. These two Meta-divine martial artists were slightly slower. When they were grabbed by Lin Feng, they did not even have the strength to resist. They were swatted to death by Lin Feng like flies.

Two Meta-divine Realm martial artists died just like that. Seeing Lin Feng kill two Meta-divine Realm martial artists so casually, the remaining three Meta-divine Realm martial artists were all somewhat frightened.

Since when were Meta-divine Martial Artists so fragile?

Hence, the three martial artists tried even harder to escape.

They were luckier and rushed into the airships immediately. The airships began to transform into a stream of light and charged towards the horizon.

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. His three arms instantly extended again, growing to more than a thousand meters. Moreover, his palms expanded rapidly with a shadowy mass like a dark cloud, even larger than the airship.

Lin Feng's three huge palms slammed down towards the three airships. In the airships, the eyes of the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists were filled with despair and shock.

Boom.

The three airships were instantly shattered by Lin Feng's huge palm. Amidst the fumes and blazes that filled the sky, the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists charged out like a stream of light. However, Lin Feng's huge palm closed gently, and they were easily caught in his hand like mosquitoes.

Chapter 260: Sunfall King

Lin Feng's gaze was sharp as a blade as he stared coldly at the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists in his hands. No matter what power they unleashed, it was useless. His Tidal Combat Body excelled most at defense. Once he caught them, it would be almost impossible for them to escape.

Lin Feng grabbed with his giant hand, and the masks on the heads of the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists fell off, revealing their true faces.

Two of the martial artists were strangers to Lin Feng. However, the moment Lin Feng removed the mask of the third one, the mysterious martial artist Number 131, Lin Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Sunfall King!"

That's right, it was the Sunfall King. Even Lin Feng knew this face.

Among Meta-divine martial artists, there was a category of special martial artists. Not only were they powerful, they frequently made great contributions to humanity. Eventually, they were bestowed a title. For example, this Meta-divine martial artist in front of him was a martial artist with a title, and his title was the Sunfall King!

This Sunfall King had become famous very early on, but what really made his fame was the War of Sunfall Mountain 30 years ago. At that time, humanity was facing the surge of a terrifying type of dire beast Predators. Once they broke through the defense line of Sunfall Mountain, they might cause a devastating blow to the human cities at the homefront.

The situation back then was much worse than the crisis in Dragonlith City. The Nine Sages were all tied down and could not spare any time to offer aid. Even the other Meta-divine Realm martial artists could not provide reinforcements in time.

Once those Predators charged through the defense line of the Sunfall Mountain, they would meet with no obstructions. There were human cities everywhere. That kind of loss would be far too heavy.

However, the Sunfall King was the one overseeing the defense line at Sunfall Mountain back then!

The Sunfall King personally led the troops and fought on for three days, fighting seven demon kings alone!

These demon kings were all comparable to Meta-divine martial artists who had undergone three life transitions. Normally, in a one-on-one battle, even ordinary Meta-divine martial artists might not be able to gain the upper hand, let alone against seven of them.

However, relying on the Divine Kingdom of Wilderness, the Sunfall King condensed all kinds of savage monsters with Astral Power. A terrifying Astral Force Field enveloped the seven demon kings. In the end, the Sunfall King slew the seven demon kings, and led the martial artists of Sunfall Mountains to defeat the dire beast Predators.

That was the battle for which the Sunfall King was conferred his title! The Sunfall King saved hundreds of millions of humans and countless cities. Having made the greatest contribution, he was conferred the title of Sunfall King. He was also awarded the Hero of Humanity Medal!

There were very few Meta-divine martial artists who could be conferred the title of King. The legendary deeds of the Sunfall King were lauded by many martial artists. Even the Nine Sages had high praises for the Sunfall King.

Yet the Sunfall King had actually become corrupted in the present. For his selfish purposes, he had come to intercept and kill Lin Feng. How could he be worthy of the title of Sunfall King with such actions?

"Sunfall King, who sent you?"

Lin Feng asked coldly. They could even dispatch the Sunfall King. This faction was indeed terrifyingly powerful. Who could command the Sunfall King but a Sage? Could it be a Sage?

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

The Sunfall King's face was pale. Although his identity had already been exposed when he used the Divine Kingdom, he was still deeply ashamed to be exposed and "questioned" in person.

In normal circumstances, he was the prestigious and revered Sunfall King, in charge of the defense line of Sunfall Mountain. He was in a position of great authority and dominated over a region. Even the Nine Sages were respectful towards him.

Be it money, power, status, or even reputation, the Sunfall King had it all. The only thing he pursued now was martial arts.

However, martial arts was exactly what that drove the Sunfall King almost insane. He could not find the way to undergo four life transitions. He tried many methods, but none of them worked.

In his despair, he came into contact with the Night Devil Organization.

This kind of dark organization that walked entirely in the shadows and even had little restraint seemed to have invigorated the Sunfall King's heart once more.

From then on, with his mask on, the Sunfall King was a ruthless member of the Night Devil Organization. With his mask off, he was the legendary hero Sunfall King that everyone looked up to!

The mere presence of a mask caused a dignified Meta-divine Realm martial artist to fall this state. Perhaps it was not just the mask, but the other side of the Sunfall King's heart.

The Sunfall King glanced at Lin Feng. He just could not figure it out. There were five Meta-divine martial artists, and he was even a martial artist with the title of King. He had once fought seven demon kings alone. How could he be completely crushed by Lin Feng without any power to resist?

It had to be known that Lin Feng had only undergone a second life transition, which was only equivalent to a Divine Realm martial artist.

"Lin Feng, you've won! Since you already know my identity, do you think anyone can order me around? What a joke. How can I, a dignified expert with the title of King, be ordered around? There's no harm in telling you. I joined the Night Devil Organization…"

At this point, the Sunfall King could no longer be bothered to hide it.

Hearing the Sunfall King's simple explanation of the Night Devil Organization, Lin Feng's gaze became colder and colder. A storm brewed in his heart.

Although where light is, there darkness will be also, a terrible organization like the Night Devil was something he had never even imagined before.

This was what the Sunfall King had become behind a mask?

The other four Meta-divine Realm martial artists were also famed. Normally, they guarded a region and contributed greatly to humanity. Yet, after joining the Night Devil and putting on a mask, why had they become so ghastly and fiendish?

"Night Devil…"

Lin Feng muttered in a low voice. His killing intent was already soaring. Now that he had heard about an organization like the Night Devil, they were simply a cancer of human society!

Even the Nine Sages could not do anything about it. This was enough to show how terrible this Night Devil Organization was.

"Lin Feng, no matter what, I'm the Sunfall King, a Meta-divine Realm martial artist. Moreover, I have made great contributions to humanity. Even though I'm a member of the Night Devil Organization, my contributions offset my mistakes. You should let me go."

The Sunfall King appeared very calm now. He also wanted to live. With his status, even if he was discovered to be a member of the Night Devil, at most, his Hero of Humanity Medal would be revoked and he would be sent to the Martial Artist Court.

However, he definitely would not die. He had made great contributions. He was once a Hero of Humanity. That was enough!

"Is that so? You were once a Hero of Humanity. You once made great contributions to humanity, but… what does that have to do with me? I just want to kill someone now!"

Lin Feng's cold gaze made the Sunfall King feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His former great contributions, his past as the Hero of Humanity and prestigious status—why was none of it working now?

He really saw "death" in Lin Feng's eyes. Lin Feng really wanted to kill him!

"No, you can't kill me. Hand me over to the five major factions and send me to the Martial Artist Court…"

The Sunfall King finally felt afraid. It was as if his former glory could no longer offer him any sense of security at this moment.

Bang.

Lin Feng squeezed hard, and the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists were instantly crushed, turning into a bloody mist.

So what if he was a Meta-divine martial artist? So what if he was once a Hero of Humanity? So what if he had once made great contributions to humanity?

Lin Feng's killing intent soared. The Sunfall King had crossed him. How could he let it go?

Moreover, Lin Feng only wanted to kill now!

Chapter 261: Arrival of the Airship

"Night Devil…"

Lin Feng muttered softly, and his gaze became even colder. He did not even inquire the names and identities of the other two Meta-divine Realm martial artists.

However, no matter their identities, they were all the same in Lin Feng's eyes. They all deserved to be killed!

Even the Sunfall King probably did not know who the founder of the Night Devil, a mysterious organization that wandered between darkness and light, was. Even if Lin Feng captured him and asked about it, it would be meaningless.

The five major factions and the Nine Sages had captured many members of the Night Devil Organization, but what was the point of capturing so many Night Devil Organization members?

They had only joined the Night Devil through the virtual network. When there was a mission, they would post a message. If they were willing to accept it, they would be given some mission information.

If it was a group mission, Night Devil would number every member of the organization who accepted the mission. These numbers were completely meaningless and entirely established at the last minute. They were only used for verification with other members and form a temporary team to complete the mission together.

Hence, tracking the core figures of the Night Devil Organization was far too difficult. At least the five major factions and the Nine Sages could do nothing about it.

Perhaps Longbetham could track the Night Devil Organization, but certainly not now.

Lin Feng remembered the Night Devil in his heart. Since the Night Devil had issued a mission to kill him and had even mobilized five Meta-divine Realm martial artists for it, Lin Feng naturally would not let it go.

Just because the five major factions and the Nine Sages could not do it did not mean that he could not do it either!

However, Lin Feng was still in a hurry to bring his second brother's corpse home, so he was in no mood to investigate the Night Devil.

Lin Feng returned to the airship and said coldly, "Continue flying according to the coordinates!"

Hence, the airship quickly flew into the clouds and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Lin Feng flew off, white light flickered on a small fragment among the debris of those airships.

…

There was a faint figure in a dark room, but there was no light around, so the figure could not be seen clearly.

"Has Mission 007 failed?"

A hoarse, mechanical voice sounded in the room.

"Five Meta-divine Realm martial artists, including the Sunfall King, actually all failed. Heh, I'm really looking forward to this. The stronger your performance, the more valuable your secrets are. Heh…"

There seemed to be a trace of excitement in the hoarse mechanical voice.

"Mission reissued. Mission level: SSS!"

A Triple-S mission. This was the first time Night Devil had issued a triple-S mission level in history. At this moment, countless members who had secretly joined the Night Devil Organization went wild.

…

The Brimstone Base was the third line of defense. However, in reality, the few lines of defense that had been set up in the past few days had all collapsed.

The military faction had almost done everything they could and sent out ten Meta-divine Realm martial artists, two of whom were titled experts! But even so, the military's defense line was in imminent danger.

There were simply too many robots on the other side. All of them were the most terrifying weapons of war and killing machines. With the Nine Sages tied down, the Meta-divine Realm martial artists were the only hope for everyone in the base.

"I heard that the Hoarfrost King will bring reinforcements to us."

"The Hoarfrost King? That's a great expert stationed at the Hoarfrost defense line, who made his name in a battle. Even he was deployed here by the military?"

"Actually, even with the Hoarfrost King, how long can we hold out? We're not facing dire beasts, but the weapons of war left behind by those ancient civilizations!"

"I heard that this happened because the ruin was accidentally triggered by someone sent by the military. The military can't absolve themselves from the blame!"

"The military also wanted to control this ancient civilization ruin, and they had been studying it for a few years. However, no one expected the dispatch team to be completely annihilated after entering the ruins. Moreover, they triggered the defense mechanism of the ruin, activating these terrifying weapons of war."

Martial artists in the Brimstone Base belonged to the Metamorphic Realm as well as the Divine Realm.

The outside world did not know about this calamity yet, but that was because after the military faction had reported it, the Nine Sages discussed the matter and felt that the military faction could stop this calamity. Hence, they did not spread the news.

However, they had clearly underestimated the crisis this time. There might not be any robots that were particularly powerful from the endless stream of robots in that ancient civilization ruin. At most, there were robots comparable to the Divine Realm, but there were very few of those, and they actually did not pose much of a threat.

What really gave him a headache was the endless amount of robots. In the beginning, only tens of thousands of war robots had awakened in the ruins, but now?

They must have long exceeded 100,000 in number. Moreover, the war robots in the ruins were still appearing continuously. Some people even suspected that there was a robot production line in the ruins, and that there was a large amount of materials and energy stored in the ruins that could automatically manufacture these terrifying robots continuously.

Some Meta-divine martial artists wanted to charge in, but once they approached the ruins, the terrifying giant cannon in the ruins could make even Meta-divine martial artists palpitate. Three Meta-divine martial artists had been severely injured by it.

They could not charge inside, and those robots kept appearing. As a result, the military faction suffered heavy losses and their defense line was broken through several times.

The current defense line was also rebuilt, but it was hard to say if it could hold out for three days.

Right now, the military faction was already requesting reinforcements from the other four major factions. They had even applied for a Sage to come. Currently, only Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi were still available. However, they were closely monitoring the demon emperors in the Black Wind Canyon. If they left and these demon emperors stir up trouble, and there would be serious havoc.

Sages could not appear lightly, so they could only rely on Meta-divine martial artists now.

As a case in point, the Brimstone Base was currently anticipating the arrival of the Hoarfrost King. Otherwise, this defense line would collapse completely in less than a day.

Suddenly, a miniature airship with a sleek appearance appeared distantly in the sky.

All the martial artists in the base perked up. Those who could own private airships were basically all Meta-divine Realm martial artists. Very few Divine Realm martial artists actually owned private airships.

Apart from the Hoarfrost King, who would fly an airship here at this time?

"The Hoarfrost King has finally arrived. We're saved now."

"If the Hoarfrost King doesn't arrive soon, we'll be in danger. We won't be able to hold the base either."

"That's right. Once the Hoarfrost King arrives, we'll finally be able to hold the base."

Everyone in the Brimstone Base was full of confidence in the Hoarfrost King, a top Meta-divine martial artist. This was because the Hoarfrost King himself was a martial artist who created miracles!

Swoosh.

The spaceship quickly landed in the base. Then, the cabin door opened and a young martial artist walked out of the airship.

Chapter 262: Do You Want to Live?

At the Brimstone Base, upon knowing that the Hoarfrost King was arriving, the nine Divine Realm martial artists all came to welcome him personally.

However, after the cabin door of the airship opened, a too-young martial artist walked out. They continued anticipating, but after waiting for a long time, they still did not see a second person walk out of the airship.

Could this young martial artist before them be the Hoarfrost King? Wasn't he a little too young?

Although the Hoarfrost King was an expert who was titled King and was famous in the martial arts circle, he kept a very low profile. Few people had seen his true face, and even his images were rarely circulated.

The nine Divine Realm experts in the Brimstone Base all looked at each other. They had never seen the Hoarfrost King before, and naturally did not know if the person in front of them was the Hoarfrost King. However, apart from the Hoarfrost King, who else would come to the Brimstone Base at a time like this?

Hence, even though this martial artist in front of them looked a little too young, these Divine Realm martial artists still braced themselves and stepped forward to bow respectfully. "Hoarfrost King, you are finally here. If you take any longer, our Brimstone Base wouldn't be able to hold out."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere chilled. The "Hoarfrost King" before him seemed unsmiling. His expression was also a little cold, and he appeared like a glacier.

"I'm not the Hoarfrost King!"

After a long while, the young martial artist spoke coldly, and denied the identity of the Hoarfrost King immediately.

"Not the Hoarfrost King? How is that possible?"

The expressions of the nine Divine Realm martial artists changed drastically. Why wasn't it the Hoarfrost King? Who would pilot a private airship to the Brimstone Base at this time, if not the Hoarfrost King?

This was not a tourist attraction. Even Meta-divine Realm martial artists would not want to come to the Brimstone Base now, because once they did, they would very likely be courting death.

"Then who are you? Did the higher-ups send you in lieu of the Hoarfrost King?"

The nine Divine Realm martial artists were somewhat anxious now. If the Hoarfrost King wasn't coming, a Meta-divine Realm martial artist had to come. If not, how could their Brimstone Base hold the line of defense?

Beep-beep-beep.

At this moment, the communicator of the Divine Realm martial artist in the lead rang. He hurriedly picked it up.

"What? The Hoarfrost King encountered trouble along the way. The other line of defense has been breached. What should we do?"

"There are no other Meta-divine Realm martial artists. They want us to hold out on our own? How are we supposed to hold out?"

"Hold out for ten hours… We won't even be able to hold out for an hour!"

The Divine Realm martial artist at the base immediately hung up. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked a little sinister and terrifying.

"How is it, Liu?"

"The higher-ups aren't sending Meta-divine Realm martial artists?"

Faced with the questions of many martial artists, the person-in-charge of the base shook his head. His face was a little ashen as he took a long look at Lin Feng and said, "The Hoarfrost King was ambushed by the robots along the way. Another base has been breached, and we are very likely to become a lone army! Even if the Hoarfrost King can escape, it will take 10 hours. The higher-ups don't have any extra Meta-divine Realm martial artists to reinforce us."

"Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves now!"

As soon as the person-in-charge finished speaking, everyone erupted.

Without reinforcements, how long could they hold out for? An hour or half an hour?

For a moment, everyone's faces were ashen, and they lost much of their fighting spirit.

If the other base was really breached, it would be difficult for them to even escape.

The person-in-charge looked at the apathetic young martial artist before him and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why did you come to the Brimstone Base?"

Thinking about how he had mistaken such a young martial artist for the Hoarfrost King, he felt a little angry. How could someone so young be the Hoarfrost King?

"I'm Lin Feng!"

"Lin Feng?"

The name was very familiar.

Suddenly, someone recognized him.

"Lin Feng from the Global Martial Arts Competition?"

"I think it's really him."

"What is he doing here?"

Lin Feng's current reputation was even greater than that of a King. After all, the Global Martial Arts Competition was a global competition. More than 80% of the people had watched the competition. How could they not recognize Lin Feng?

Previously, they had not thought from this perspective and mistook Lin Feng for the Hoarfrost King, so they failed to recognize Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you're not from the military faction. What are you doing here?"

Lin Feng looked at the situation outside the base. There were densely packed robots everywhere, almost like an apocalypse. However, he had not heard any news outside.

This meant that there was a news blackout!

The military faction alone definitely would not dare to block the news like this. Then, the news blackout must be the joint decision of the five factions.

He had found out that the last coordinates of his second brother Lin Hai's communicator were at the Brimstone Base.

"Do you know Lin Hai?"

"Lin Hai? So what if we know him? So what if we don't? You'd better leave now. You're not a martial artist from the military faction. It's not too late to leave now."

The person-in-charge of the Brimstone Base shook his head and smiled. They could barely protect themselves now. Why would they care about Lin Hai?

Lin Feng glanced at the martial artists behind. He did not believe that no one knew Lin Hai. After all, this was where Lin Hai's communicator signal disappeared in the end.

"Do you want to live?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.

"Live? Who wouldn't want to live? But what's the use now? The Hoarfrost King isn't here, and there are no Meta-divine Realm martial artists. Who can let us live?"

Many martial artists shook their heads.

"Tell me where Lin Hai is, and I'll make sure you live!"

"You want to use your airship to transport us away, right? But how many people can you transport? Moreover, we are soldiers and have to obey orders. The order from above is to defend the base! No one will leave, and no one dares to leave!"

That's right. If they could leave, they would have done so long ago. However, the higher-ups had not given the order to retreat. They were soldiers, and could only hold out, even though they knew that the price of holding out was death!

"Tell me about Lin Hai, and I'll take care of the trouble at your base!"

Lin Feng looked at the densely packed robots outside. These robots would probably be able to breach the Brimstone Base in less than half an hour. At that time, everyone in the Brimstone Base would die.

"Take care of our trouble? You?"

Clearly, no one believed it. Lin Feng was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. At most, he could be considered a genius. Forget about Metamorphic Realm martial artists, even Divine Realm and Meta-divine Realm martial artists might not be able to resolve their current troubles, let alone Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, I know about Lin Hai! I also know that you're his younger brother, but… you'd better leave quickly. I think Lin Hai's spirit would want you to stay safe, too."

Suddenly, a Metamorphic Realm martial artist walked out of the crowd and looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression.

"Huh? You know about my second brother? Tell me, tell me everything!"

Lin Feng's figure flashed, and he was before this Metamorphic Realm martial artist in almost a blink of an eye. He emanated a tremendous pressure, instantly making the nine Divine Realm martial artists feel oppressed.

Chapter 263: The Strongest Person Below Sages

That martial artist was only an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist. Suddenly bearing the terrifying pressure erupting from Lin Feng's body, for a moment, never mind speaking, even his face was flushed red.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and also noticed the other party's abnormality. He also felt a little emotional. He did not expect that just releasing some of his aura in the present was too much for a Metamorphic Realm martial artist to withstand.

Hence, Lin Feng restrained his emotions and said in a low voice, "Tell me everything you know in detail."

This martial artist looked a little hesitant, but at this point, he couldn't care less about hiding anything.

"I know that Lin Hai volunteered to participate in a secret operation to explore an ancient civilization ruin. However, Lin Hai never returned, and even caused serious trouble. These robots emerged from that ruin. If you really want to find Lin Hai, go to that ruin…

"But I'd advise you not to go. It's very dangerous even for Meta-divine Realm martial artists, let alone you. Lin Hai once mentioned you to me. He said that you're the pride of the entire Lin family! With you around, the Lin family will be fine, and it doesn't matter if he's around…"

Lin Feng clenched his fists. He understood what his second brother meant.

His second brother was a dutiful person. In the past, he was in the army for the sake of the Lin family, for the purpose of giving the Lin Family an inhuman expert. However, ever since Lin Feng's talents emerged, his second brother felt that his mission was complete. He was no longer that important to the Lin family.

Hence, even after his second brother became a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, he had never informed the family. Even when he made such a dangerous decision, he had never discussed it with his family, either.

To the Lin family, Lin Hai's actions might be a little selfish, but as a soldier, he was outstanding!

"Second Brother, no one is extra in the Lin family. We can't lose anyone!"

Lin Feng suddenly lifted his head and looked at the densely packed robots outside the Brimstone Base.

"Where are the ruins?"

"Lin Feng, you'll be courting death if you go. Lin Hai won't rest in peace either!"

"Tell me, where are the ruins?"

Lin Feng's expression was very determined.

"If he wants to die, let him! I'll tell you. The ruins of the ancient civilization are not far from our Brimstone Base, about 20 kilometers. If you fly along the path those robots took, you will naturally see the ruins of the ancient civilization. The source of these robots is the ancient ruins. However, let me remind you first that these robots can easily shoot down your airship…"

Before the person-in-charge of the Brimstone Base could finish speaking, Lin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Why? Have you changed your mind?"

In his opinion, Lin Feng would be courting death if he went forward.

"You're very lucky. You can live!"

"Huh?"

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Lin Feng stomped his feet.

Boom.

It was as if an earthquake had occurred. Everyone looked at Lin Feng in shock. In their eyes, Lin Feng might not be very tall, but with a stomp of his feet, his entire body was rapidly expanding.

At the same time, Lin Feng shot out of the Brimstone Base like a cannonball and flew towards the robots outside the base. He was like a gigantic bird. In the air, Lin Feng's body was still expanding rapidly.

"This…"

"What a terrifying aura. A Divine Realm martial artist?"

"This is the aura of a second life transition. He's become a Divine Realm martial artist so quickly?"

"Unfortunately, even a Divine Realm martial artist will die if surrounded by robots."

Seeing Lin Feng unleash the aura of a second life transition, it meant that he was a Divine Realm martial artist. Everyone was shocked.

Those of the Divine Realm were definitely important figures of a region, enough to be a Legate. Although there were nine Divine Realm martial artists in the Brimstone Base now, this was a special situation. Normally, there would not be a single Divine Realm martial artist in the Brimstone Base.

Moreover, Lin Feng was so young. A 21-year-old Divine Realm martial artist was unheard of.

Hence, many people were shocked, but regretful at the same time. If he charged into the robot army at this moment, forget about one Divine Realm martial artist, even ten Divine Realm martial artists would die.

As Lin Feng flew through the air, his body was expanding rapidly.

Boom.

By the time Lin Feng descended, he had already completely released the Tidal Combat Body. He did not hold back at all. The 204-meter Tidal Combat Body descended, forming a dark cloud in the sky.

It pressed down fiercely like a mountain.

Crunch.

Lin Feng did not even need to make any unnecessary movements. He only needed to stomp lightly with his foot, and dozens of robots would be crushed. These robots might have considerable offensive power compared to Metamorphic Realm martial artists, but their bodies were much weaker.

Their metal bodies were clearly inferior to the Astral Power of Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

How terrifying was Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body? With a single step from him, even Divine Realm martial artists might be trampled to death, let alone mere robots.

Hence, Lin Feng stomped down and trampled the entire way. The hundreds of thousands of robots were like paper in front of Lin Feng, unable to withstand a single blow.

Such a violent stance stunned the people in the Brimstone Base. They had seen Divine Realm martial artists attack, and they had also seen Meta-divine Realm martial artists attack. However, even if a Meta-divine Realm martial artist used the Divine Kingdom, it was impossible for them to be so ferocious, right?

Lin Feng's combat style did not look like that of a Meta-divine martial artist. Instead, it looked more like a terrifying greater demon—a greater demon emperor that was even more horrifying than a demon king!

He crushed everything along the way. There was no need to use any Astral Power at all.

As for the weapons of those robots, they might really be very powerful. They could pierce through the protective layer of Astral Power of Metamorphic Realm martial artists, and even threaten Divine Realm martial artists.

Especially when there were many of them, even Meta-divine Realm martial artists might not be able to have an advantage.

However, when the weapons of these robots struck Lin Feng, they could not even break his skin. The Tidal Combat Body excelled most at defense. Before Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body, numbers gave no advantage.

Seeing Lin Feng crush everything along the way, the people in the Brimstone Base were all fired up. Only then did they remember that Lin Feng had said that they could live just now. He was not boasting. He was clearly telling the truth!

"Even if the Hoarfrost King came, he wouldn't be able to do this. How can a Divine Realm martial artist be so strong?"

"Could Lin Feng be a Meta-divine Realm martial artist?"

"But Lin Feng doesn't seem to have the aura of three life transitions on him, and there's no fluctuation of Astral Power on his body."

Lin Feng had long stopped bothering to conceal it in public. Now that he had mastered the Tidal Combat Body, Meta-divine Realm martial artists were no match for him at all.

Perhaps only Sages could pose a certain amount of threat to him, but how many Sages were there in the entire human society?

There were only nine of them!

The current Lin Feng could be considered the strongest person below Sages. Why would he need to hold back?

Moreover, Lin Feng wanted to bring back his second brother's corpse and avenge him now. These robots and even that ancient civilization ruin seemed to be the culprits behind his second brother's death. Lin Feng naturally would not let them off. They must be obliterated with a crushing force!

Chapter 264: The Third Civilization

The massive body of 204 meters was indeed too shocking. It was as if Lin Feng had transformed into a giant. He was surrounded densely by robots, but he was unaffected.

However, the never-ending horde of robots behind was indeed a problem. They seemed to be limitless, surging towards him in an infinite stream. Although Lin Feng believed that they would not pose any fatal threat to him, they could stop him from advancing.

The Tidal Combat Body was indeed very strong. It was invincible and domineering, crushing everything in its path. However, facing the densely packed and numerous robots, the speed at which it destroyed the robots was a little slow and inefficient.

Lin Feng simply stretched out his hand. With a thought, the cells in his two palms quickly rearranged themselves. Then, his palms quickly expanded to 100 meters in size. The two connected palms were like a dark cloud.

Boom.

Lin Feng's two palms quickly slammed down. Each slam covered an area of 200 meters. Like swatting flies, countless robots were scattered by the slam.

Lin Feng was like an elephant. Despite their constant movement and frenzied attacks, no matter how many ants there were, they could only be crushed to death.

As Lin Feng advanced, the robots' advantage in numbers disappeared. The people of the Brimstone Base were both excited and a little melancholic. This was a huge merit.

This was such an excellent opportunity. If they could defeat these robots and hold the line of defense under Lin Feng's lead, how great of a merit would that be?

Every martial artist in the base would probably receive generous rewards.

"Agreed. We should attack now."

"This is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This might be our only chance to defeat these robots."

"That's right. With Lin Feng, we can even advance all the way to that ancient civilization ruin."

"Perhaps Lin Feng can deal with the defensive weapons in that ruin. Then, we can enter the ruin and turn off the defense mechanism inside."

The martial artists of the Brimstone Base were practically all motivated by Lin Feng at this moment. It was not that they were really not afraid of danger, but that Lin Feng's strong performance gave them a sense of security.

Behind Lin Feng, they would only be dealing with some scattered robots. What danger could there be?

Hence, the martial artists of the Brimstone Base did not discuss for too long. They quickly made a decision. The nine Divine Realm martial artists and 186 Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the base would leave the base at the same time!

Lin Feng crushed onward. No matter how many robots there were, they posed no threat to Lin Feng. Instead, he defeated tens of thousands of robots.

Soon, Lin Feng saw these robots exiting densely from the entrance of a ruin. These robots were like an army, pouring out without end.

How many of these robots were there?

A hundred thousand or a million? Or even more?

Not only did Lin Feng not know, the military did not know either. However, according to the current understanding, this ruin seemed to be a military station. It was filled with terrifying war machines specially created for battle and killing.

"This is not the product of the seventh civilization."

Lin Feng drew some conclusions. The seventh civilization was characterized by coexisting biomodified beasts and technology, and was not purely a technological civilization.

These robots were made from an unknown synthetic metal, and there was no sign of any biomodified beasts. Naturally, they were not products of the seventh civilization.

"If I'm not wrong, this is the product of the third civilization! Lin Feng, you are in trouble."

Suddenly, Longbetham's voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind. Moreover, this was the first time Longbetham's tone was so solemn.

"So what if it's the third civilization? Can these robots alone pose a threat to me?"

Lin Feng's tone was apathetic. He looked at the ruins in the distance. He knew that his second brother was inside! Perhaps only a corpse or a skeleton were left of his second brother now, but no matter what, he had to bring his second brother back!

"The third civilization was a very strange civilization. It was a pure technological civilization after the first and second civilizations. Their civilization was actually not very powerful in and of itself, but they somehow unearthed some products of the second civilization, and even the first civilization. I have encountered a weapon completely different from the weapons of the third civilization before. It is truly terrifying. I think it can even threaten powerful lifeforms with four life transitions."

Longbetham's tone was grim.

"Four life transitions? The defensive weapon in that ruin back then could already threaten Sages, but it posed no threat to my Tidal Combat Body at all."

Lin Feng no longer had much reverence for Sages who had undergone four life transitions. He had cultivated the Tidal Combat Body, and could now be considered the strongest person below Sages. In his eyes, Sages who underwent the fourth life transition were nothing much. Perhaps they were stronger than him, but not by much.

"I do not mean Sages in your civilization with four life transitions, but lifeforms with four life transitions under the cosmic system!"

"Something that can threaten experts with four life transitions under the cosmic system?"

Lin Feng understood now. Four life transitions in the cosmic system meant that one had cultivated the combat body. Lin Feng had only undergone two life transitions now. If his combat body was already so strong, how strong would they be after four transitions?

Just the thought of it was terrifying. The third civilization could actually threaten lifeforms with four life transitions under the cosmic cultivation system. No wonder Longbetham was worried.

"That is right, lifeforms with the four life transitions under the cosmic cultivation system. If someone like you faces those terrifying weapons from the third civilization, your combat body will not be able to withstand them at all. For example, I know that in the third civilization, there was a kind of Annihilation Cannon that was developed based on some ancient relic passed down from the first civilization."

"Once the Annihilation Cannon hits you, even if you have undergone four life transitions, your combat body will collapse in an instant and you will suffer permanent damage. It might even take only three shots to kill an expert with four life transitions and a cultivated combat body."

Lin Feng's expression gradually turned solemn.

Although he seemed reckless and disdainful of these robots just now, that was because these robots were indeed not a threat to Lin Feng. If there was really a weapon as terrifying as what Longbetham had said in this ruin, things would be troublesome.

Under the cosmic cultivation system, four life transitions were considered outstanding among lesser lifeforms. After all, with only two more life transitions, they could become great planetary lifeforms!

Lin Feng found it hard to imagine that there was anything in this world which could threaten powerful lifeforms with four life transitions and a cultivated combat body.

Could the first and second civilizations that Longbetham had mentioned be it?

Chapter 265: Light of Destruction

"Longbetham, what is the first civilization you keep mentioning?"

Lin Feng had a vague feeling that this first civilization seemed to make Longbetham very wary.

Longbetham was silent for a while. Finally, it said faintly, "I do not know what civilization the first civilization was, because when I came to your world, it was actually the end of the second civilization. The history of the first civilization was too long ago, and there seemed to be a gap between the first and second civilizations."

"However, there are some things left behind by the first civilization that are rather terrifying. After the second and third civilizations obtained them, the power they possessed exceeds your imagination. In short, if you encounter something from the first civilization, try your best to avoid it. With your current combat body, you are still unable to resist the relics left behind by the first civilization."

Lin Feng frowned. Longbetham took the first civilization so seriously, but he had never encountered anything from the first civilization at all. Moreover, the ruin in front of him was only from the third civilization.

Although the third civilization had obtained some things left behind by the first civilization, there were very few of those things. There might not be any in this ruin either.

"I must enter the ruins!"

At this thought, Lin Feng suddenly took a step forward and started running wildly.

Rumble.

Lin Feng had just charged towards the ruins when he seemed to have stepped into a certain range. Then, a thunderous voice sounded, and a faint bolt of lightning flashed.

An incomparably thick "lightning" shot towards Lin Feng with a bang. It contained a terrifying power that even a Meta-divine Realm martial artist had to avoid facing head-on.

That bolt of lightning containing annihilative power was too terrifying. Hence, it was called the Light of Destruction by military martial artists

The Light of Destruction was something that even Meta-divine martial artists had to retreat from. In the past, even Meta-divine martial artists from the military were severely injured when they rashly went in. Although there were many robots, the military faction had also organized a few breakouts. When they went deep into the ruins, they were repelled by the Light of Destruction.

Hence, when they saw a Light of Destruction suddenly flash in the sky, everyone became nervous.

"Hold out. Hold out!"

"It's the Light of Destruction again. There's no knowing how many powerful martial artists died to the Light of Destruction."

"Even a Meta-divine Realm martial artist would find it difficult to resist the Light of Destruction. Can Lin Feng withstand it?"

"If you can't resist the Light of Destruction, don't even think about entering the ruins!"

The martial artists from the Brimstone Base who were following behind Lin Feng from afar all looked at the terrifying Light of Destruction in the void with solemn expressions.

Boom.

The Light of Destruction struck Lin Feng's combat body hard. This was also the first time Lin Feng had resisted the technological power of a third civilization with his 200-meter Tidal Combat Body.

The Light of Destruction contained an unknown amount of horrific power. This power was extremely destructive, and even Lin Feng could not devour it.

Destruction, division, and destruction again.

This was the Light of Destruction. In an instant, Lin Feng's combat body had lost at least one percent of its cells. One percent! Ever since Lin Feng had attained mastery with his combat body, it had never been damaged so severely.

However, this time, Lin Feng was indeed injured, and it was rather serious. His Tidal Combat Body excelled in recovery as well as defense. It was very difficult to injure the Tidal Combat Body.

Even the five Meta-divine Realm martial artists including the Sunfall King could not cause any damage to Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body previously.

But now, facing the Light of Destruction, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body had suffered severe damage. This damage was almost permanent.

One percent of a combat body was equivalent to about two meters of combat body cells. It was completely destroyed and disappeared permanently.

If he still wanted to recover, Lin Feng would have to devour the Astral Power of at least two or three Meta-divine Realm martial artists before he could perhaps expand his combat body by another two meters or so.

For the first time, Lin Feng's combat body suffered permanent damage.

"Lin Feng, it is the power of annihilation. This is the power of annihilation! If I'm not wrong, there must be something left behind by the first civilization in this ruin. We must obtain it. Perhaps then, we can uncover the secret of the first civilization!"

Longbetham appeared very excited.

Lin Feng drew a deep breath. He had suffered permanent damage. His 204-meter-tall combat body had now become a 202-meter-tall combat body.

This was despite how the Tidal Combat Body excelled in defense and recovery. If it were any other combat body, the damage would probably be even more severe.

For the first time, Lin Feng realized that there was still power that could "counter" his combat body.

"Charge!"

Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. This kind of defensive weapon was usually very massive, and focused on external threats. Now, he could only charge forward. As long as he could charge into the ruins, this weapon would be useless.

Lin Feng's speed was not fast, but his body was huge. With a light step, he could cover a long distance.

Hence, as Lin Feng ran at full speed, he was only a few hundred meters away from the ruins. However, the few hundred meters could be considered a truly deadly distance.

Buzz.

There seemed to be an earthquake in the ruins. Waves of terrifying energy were converging in a frenzy. Lin Feng could sense that the threat in the ruins ahead was becoming stronger and stronger.

Eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Finally, the Light of Destruction erupted again. This time, the Light of Destruction was simply overwhelming. A total of ten Light of Destruction erupted completely.

The originally somewhat dim sky seemed to be illuminated by the Light of Destruction. Even from afar, the ten terrifying Light of Destruction in the sky could be seen.

At this moment, the Hoarfrost King was massacring those robots with his Divine Kingdom to. However, as there were too many of them, he could not move an inch.

"That's the Light of Destruction? And there are ten of them?"

The Hoarfrost King raised his head and looked at the ten beams of Light of Destruction in the distant void. His expression turned very grim.

Ten beams of Light of Destruction. Even he could not withstand them. Judging from the direction, it was clearly fired in the direction of the Brimstone Base.

He knew that if nothing went wrong, the Brimstone Base was finished. After all, he had been held off for a long time. Without his reinforcement, how could the Brimstone Base hold off those robots?

However, the ten beams of Light of Destruction were indeed fired in the direction of the Brimstone Base. Was another Meta-divine Realm martial artist trying to enter the ruins?

Unfortunately, no matter who tried to approach the ruins, even a Meta-divine Realm martial artist would die under ten beams of Light of Destruction.

"I'd better deal with these robots as soon as possible and go to the Brimstone Base to take a look. I hope there are still survivors then…"

The Hoarfrost King was very pessimistic. He could only try his best to save the survivors of the Brimstone Base.

Hopefully, some of the people from the Brimstone Base would still be alive at that time. It would be fortunate even if there were only one or two of them.

Chapter 266: The Hoarfrost King's Shock

Ten beams of Light of Destruction shook the heavens and earth, illuminating the originally dim sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Light of Destruction struck Lin Feng hard. With such a fast speed, Lin Feng could not escape even if he wanted to. At this moment, Lin Feng could only choose to resist it head-on!

Every beam of Light of Destruction contained a terrifying annihilative power. This power was very special, and even Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body could not withstand it completely.

The body that was struck by the Light of Destruction instantly had countless cells destroyed. Lin Feng's entire body shook. The shock was very painful. Countless cells were destroyed in an instant, and it felt as if his flesh had been carved out.

Ever since he had mastered the combat body, Lin Feng had actually been converting it to an energy body. He was no longer purely made of flesh and blood. Rather, his entire body was filled with energy.

Every drop of blood was filled with a massive amount of energy, and every drop of blood also contained a daunting amount of energy.

However, under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to bleed from the damage to the combat body.

However, Lin Feng was bleeding. One beam of Light of Destruction was enough to annihilate Lin Feng's combat body by two meters. Ten beams of Light of Destruction meant 20 meters!

However, Lin Feng withstood the pressure and continued walking into the ruins against the beams of Light of Destruction. One, two, three, four…

With ten beams of Light of Destruction, Lin Feng's combat body suffered heavy losses, losing over 20 meters of combat body. If the previous beam of Light of Destruction was included, he would have lost 22 meters of combat body.

This was permanent damage that could not be recovered from. He had to cultivate it again. However, that also required a massive amount of energy. Lin Feng had also paid a huge price to enter the ruins.

Bang.

Suddenly, a drop of blood seeped out of Lin Feng's combat body. This drop of blood was the size of a fist and dripped to the ground.

Immediately, the ground was quickly dyed blood-red, and it spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, everything within a radius of hundreds of meters was dyed blood-red, and it continued to spread.

This drop of blood was not ordinary blood. It contained terrifying energy and vitality. Perhaps after many years, this place would be filled with vitality and produce some powerful dire beasts or mutated lifeforms.

Lin Feng's current bloodline was still very far from true cosmic bloodlines. Those planetary lifeforms were actually cosmic bloodlines. Even a drop of blood could create a formidable race of lifeforms.

Having lost 22 meters of his combat body, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body was only 182 meters tall now. This was the first time Lin Feng had suffered permanent damage since cultivating the Tidal Combat Body.

Even when the Sunfall King and the other five Meta-divine martial artists besieged Lin Feng, and caused some damage to Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body, it was not permanent damage. Lin Feng could recover in the blink of an eye.

These ten beams of Light of Destruction containing cataclysmic annihilative power caused permanent damage to Lin Feng's cells. They could not be recovered at all, and he could only cultivate them again.

The goal for which Lin Feng paid such a huge price was naturally to charge into the ruins.

Resisting the ten beams of Light of Destruction head-on, Lin Feng took step after step and finally approached the ruins. Only then did he see clearly that the beams of Light of Destruction were actually shot from terrifying cannons.

At this moment, terrifying energy was still vaguely converging in these giant cannons, and they vaguely emitted an annihilative power.

"As expected, these beams Light of Destruction need to be charged. This interval is enough for me to charge into the ruins!"

Lin Feng relaxed slightly. He was indeed risking his life just now, but he was not recklessly risking his life. As he had guessed, how could such terrifying beams of Light of Destruction not require a large amount of energy?

As long as it required a large amount of energy, there would definitely be a certain amount of time for charging. Then, there would be a slight interval. This interval was Lin Feng's opportunity.

Otherwise, if the beams of Light of Destruction could come one after another, with dozens or hundreds of them at once, even Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body would not be able to hold out.

Outside the ruins, there were cabins everywhere. Robots walked out of them one after another, seemingly endless.

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He stepped on them directly, and his hands smashed towards the surrounding robot cabins as if he was swinging huge hammers.

In the blink of an eye, countless cabins were destroyed, and the number of robots walking out also decreased rapidly.

Actually, it was not that difficult to deal with these robots. As long as the cabins of these robots were destroyed, they would no longer be able to manufacture robots. Even if the robots could be manufactured, it would be very difficult for them to leave the ruins.

However, the key was that no one could face the ten beams of Light of Destruction and approach the ruins. Only Lin Feng could rely on the Tidal Combat Body to resist them head-on and approach the ruins to destroy the cabins of these robots.

"Open!"

Lin Feng did not dare to delay. He could sense that the terrifying Light of Destruction was brewing in their giant cannons. Once it brewed again, Lin Feng would have to continue enduring another ten beams of Light of Destruction. He had already suffered heavy losses, and did not want his Tidal Combat Body to suffer severe damage again.

Hence, Lin Feng made a grab with his large hand and gripped a huge door in the ruins. The power of the Tidal Combat Body erupted in a frenzy. No matter how hard the metal was or how thick the door was, it would be torn apart.

Crunch.

Lin Feng easily tore open a huge hole. Then, he quickly shrank his combat body. Before the Light of Destruction could be brewed, he charged into the ruins at once.

…

"I've finally arrived. I hope I'm not too late…"

The Hoarfrost King finally broke free from those robots. Originally, it would have taken 10 hours, but he broke free in an hour. After breaking free, he did not tangle with those robots again. Instead, he rushed to the Brimstone Base immediately.

After all, he had come to rescue the Brimstone Base with on orders.

"I wonder how many people can survive? But with me around, I can definitely protect you!"

The Hoarfrost King might have a cold demeanor, but he was someone kind at heart. There were nine Divine Realm martial artists and hundreds of Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the Brimstone Base. This was a formidable faction that the military faction did not want to lose, no matter what.

Swoosh.

By the time the Hoarfrost King flew to Brimstone City alone, he discovered that the outside of Brimstone City was densely covered with the bodies of robots. However, the city was empty. There were only 20 martial artists, and all of them were severely injured.

"The battle is so devastating?"

The Hoarfrost King revealed his identity. He said to the twenty-odd martial artists, "I'm the Hoarfrost King. Don't worry, I'll definitely take you out of the Brimstone Base. All of you are heroes for being able to hold out for so long!"

The Hoarfrost King's expression was very moved as he looked at the densely packed robot fragments outside the base. He could even imagine what kind of tragic battle the martial artists of the Brimstone Base had experienced.

In the end, only 20-odd seriously injured martial artists were left. Those dead martial artists were all heroes. Even the Hoarfrost King felt deep veneration for them!

The 20-odd martial artists looked at each other, before their expressions turned awkward.

In the end, it was a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist who said awkwardly, "Hoarfrost King, how can we be considered heroes? We're just a bunch of unlucky people who have no chance to get such a huge merit. We really envy them for being able to follow Lord Lin Feng to earn huge merit…"

The Hoarfrost King's eyes widened. If the people in front of him were not deranged and confused, then it was very likely true. Those people were not only alive, but had even gone outside to "slaughter" robots to earn merits?

For a moment, even the Hoarfrost King was incredulous.

"It's Lin Feng. He's very strong! He crushed those robots and charged towards the ruins."

"You're saying that the messy battlefield outside was all Lin Feng's doing? Those ten beams of Light of Destruction might be targeting Lin Feng?"

"Most likely!"

The Hoarfrost King was very shocked. Even he could not crush those intractable robots alone. What kind of person was Lin Feng to be so powerful?

However, when he heard that Lin Feng might face ten beams of Light of Destruction, the Hoarfrost King's expression sank slightly. He was also a little anxious. According to these martial artists, Lin Feng was very strong, but how could Lin Feng resist ten beams of Light of Destruction?

"It's too reckless. That's ten beams of Light of Destruction! Even I will die if I resist them head-on! No matter what, I have to hurry over. I hope he's still alive…"

The Hoarfrost King turned around and left the Brimstone Base, quickly flying towards the ruins.

Chapter 267: A Glimmer of Hope

Along the way, the Hoarfrost King saw many robot fragments. It was a mess. He could imagine how brutal the battle was. However, only those robots seemed subject to this "brutality".

Not a single martial artist's corpse was left behind on the way. This was too unusual.

Could Lin Feng's strength really crush everything?

"Lin Feng, the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition, is praised by the Sages. However, even Dongfang Sheng can't possibly undergo three life transitions and become a Meta-divine martial artist so quickly…"

It was hard for the Hoarfrost King to imagine how Lin Feng could crush everything along the way. If it was really from three life transitions, it would be too terrifying.

Three consecutive life transitions in a year. Even the Nine Sages would probably be shocked by such a pace.

"We've arrived at the ruins!"

Suddenly, the Hoarfrost King looked up and saw the ruins in the distance. Outside the ruins, there were many robots, and there were faint fluctuations of intense battle.

"Eh? There are martial artists fighting?"

The Hoarfrost King saw intense battle fluctuations ahead. There were countless robots besieging many martial artists.

Thus, the Hoarfrost King descended.

"Tempest World!"

The Hoarfrost King's Divine Kingdom was not an icy world, and in fact had nothing to do with ice at all. The Hoarfrost King's Divine Kingdom was the Tempest Divine Kingdom, filled with terrifyingly destructive storms.

Boom.

As the Tempest World descended, endless storms ripped things apart. Wherever the Tempest World enveloped, all the robots inside were torn apart by the storms.

"It's the Hoarfrost King!"

"The Hoarfrost King is finally here. Haha, this is our chance. Charge into the ruins!"

"That's right. the Hoarfrost King is here. Let's charge into the ruins together."

Seeing the arrival of the Hoarfrost King, these martial artists' spirits were all uplifted. They approached the ruins with all their might.

"What are you doing? Retreat quickly!"

The Hoarfrost King roared in anger. What kind of joke was this? His Divine Kingdom had just descended, and they were still some distance away from the ruins. However, he clearly sensed that ten terrifying forces were brewing, and could erupt at any moment.

The Light of Destruction. That was definitely the Light of Destruction!

Previously, the Hoarfrost King had seen the ten beams of Light of Destruction. He had no intention to give that terrifying power a try. Approaching the ruins now was simply suicidal.

Hence, he immediately roared, shocking these martial artists. Then, he opened the way with the Divine Kingdom, and they quickly retreated. Only after retreating for a long distance did the Hoarfrost King stop sensing the threat from the Light of Destruction.

"You still want to charge into the ruins? Do you want to die?"

The Hoarfrost King's face was dark. It was too rash to charge into the ruins with just nine Divine Realm martial artists and more than a hundred Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

Previously, the military faction had probed so many times and even sent a few Meta-divine Realm martial artists over. However, they all fled in a miserable state. How could they dare to approach the ruins?

If the ten beams of Light of Destruction had really struck the Hoarfrost King, even the Hoarfrost King might not have been able to withstand them. Even if he did not die, he would be severely injured.

"Tell me, where's Lin Feng?"

The Hoarfrost King wanted to find Lin Feng immediately.

"Lin Feng has already charged into the ruins."

"He charged into the ruins? Impossible. There's the Light of Destruction outside the ruins. Even Meta-divine Realm martial artists can't resist it."

The Hoarfrost King did not believe that Lin Feng could charge into the ruins at all. After all, he had seen the terrifying power of the Light of Destruction outside the ruins.

"Lin Feng has really entered the ruins, and he withstood ten beams of Light of Destruction…"

The other martial artists also said.

After hearing this, the Hoarfrost King also felt that it did not seem to be false. After all, so many martial artists had witnessed it with their own eyes.

However, he still did not quite believe that Lin Feng could withstand ten beams of Light of Destruction.

This was too incredible. If this was true, perhaps there was hope for this calamity to end.

…

Lin Feng did not know what was going on outside. When he entered the ruins, he realized that it was a mess inside. There were traces of battle everywhere. An extremely intense battle had clearly occurred here.

"Longbetham, can you find the control room?"

Lin Feng asked Longbetham.

"We can find the control room, but we must be careful. This base is a military base. There might be very terrifying weapons of war inside. For example, it is entirely possible for Light of Destruction just now to also appear in the ruins."

Lin Feng nodded. He had already experienced the power of the Light of Destruction. It was indeed very terrifying, and could even permanently destroy his Tidal Combat Body.

If it were any other Meta-divine Realm martial artist, they would either be dead or severely injured. Perhaps only Sages had the ability to enter the ruins.

Lin Feng followed Longbetham's guidance and entered a corridor.

Dried blood appeared in the corridor, and even the smell of blood filled the air. Lin Feng's heart clenched. These people must be martial artists sent by the military faction, who had all died in the ruins.

These martial artists were basically all Metamorphic Realm martial artists. After all, martial artists above the Divine Realm were unable to approach the ruins. Once they approached, they would be attacked by the Light of Destruction.

Broken limbs were everywhere. Lin Feng's eyes flickered with a trace of coldness.

Perhaps his second brother, Lin Hai, had also died in the ruins, and his corpse might be in pieces.

Lin Feng continued walking forward. Suddenly, a group of robot dogs appeared in front of him. All of them were as huge as lions. Their entire bodies were made of unknown alloy metal, and they emanated a ferocious aura.

As soon as these robot dogs saw Lin Feng, they pounced on him in a frenzy.

Bang.

Lin Feng did not utilize his combat body fully. In such a low-hanging corridor, he could only expand his combat body to over three meters. If it was any taller, it would break through the ceiling above the corridor.

However, even at only three meters tall, the Tidal Combat Body could still deal with merely a few robot dogs with ease. Lin Feng threw a punch, and the robot dogs were smashed into pieces.

These robot dogs were quite strong and agile, comparable to Metamorphic Realm martial artists. If there were too many of them, even Metamorphic Realm martial artists would be surrounded and killed.

This was indeed a military station of the third civilization. Terrifying war machines were everywhere.

"One, two, three… 21!"

Lin Feng counted. There were a total of 21 corpses in the corridor. Moreover, there was a strong scent of blood in front of him. He continued walking forward and realized that the path ahead was densely packed with corpses.

There were dozens of corpses. Lin Feng carefully identified these corpses. According to his previous inquiries at the Brimstone Base, Lin Feng's second brother had participated in Operation Wall Breaker, and there were more than a hundred martial artists who had participated in Operation Wall Breaker.

Although many corpses had been torn apart, Lin Feng carefully identified them one by one. In the end, he realized that there were more than 80 corpses here, but none of them belonged to his second brother.

There was no body. There were two possibilities. One was that Second Brother's corpse had been destroyed, and not even ashes were left behind.

This seemed unlikely. After all, there were so many corpses here. There was no reason for Second Brother's corpse to be turned to ashes and nothing to be left behind.

The second possibility was that his second brother, Lin Hai, might still be alive!

Not finding Second Brother Lin Hai's corpse now meant that there was still a glimmer of hope, however slim it might be. Lin Feng also became nervous.

Chapter 268: Mysterious Face

In the dark basement, densely packed robots were everywhere. When Lin Hai and Wai woke up, they realized that numerous tubes were inserted into their bodies.

There were more than a dozen other people with Wai and Lin Hai. They were all inserted with numerous tubes, and their bodies were locked by special metal shackles.

Lin Hai tried to circulate his Astral Power, but realized that there was no Astral Power in his body at all. A tube inserted into his body appeared to be constantly absorbing the Astral Power in his body.

Hence, even if Lin Hai circulated his Astral Power cultivation technique and tried to convert Astral Power, it was useless. Any amount of Astral Power would be drained.

"Lin Hai, you're awake."

Beside him, Wai's entire body was about to fall apart. Clearly, he was severely injured.

"Wai, what's going on? Are we captured?"

Lin Hai looked at the shackles on his body and the other dozen or so people. They were all in a sorry state.

"Of course. Not only were we captured, the situation was very troublesome. We seem to have become research subjects…"

Wai said with a weak smile. He had woken up before Lin Hai, so he had already figured out some of the situation.

The dense tubes on their bodies and all kinds of mysterious instruments clearly treated meant that they were treated as research subjects, and some experiment seemed to be conducted on them at the moment.

"Wai, who captured us?"

Lin Hai looked around warily and realized that apart from the densely packed robots, there was only a huge projector in the middle. It was blank.

"I don't know either. After we entered the ruins, we seemed to have been attacked. This is all that's left of the 100-men team. However, we were clearly separated, yet we were captured here in the end. If I'm not wrong, the one who captured us is very likely closely related to this ruin."

As soon as Wai finished speaking, a face suddenly appeared on the huge screen.

This face did not seem to be any different from the robots in the ruins, but its eyes seemed to be much more animated.

"Who are you? Why did you capture us?"

Wai shouted. He was injured and his voice was slightly hoarse.

However, no one responded on the screen. At this moment, the people on the other platforms began to struggle violently. Even though these Metamorphic Realm martial artists did not have Astral Power, their physique was very good after one life transition.

Hence, with their intense struggles, even the entire basement was shaking slightly.

"Si… Silence!"

Suddenly, the robot face on the screen spoke. However, its voice was very awkward, as if it was speaking for the first time.

Some people were still struggling violently. The other robots seemed to have received the order and immediately came to the side of those martial artists.

Bang.

The robot smashed the head of a martial artist with a single punch. The scent of blood filled the basement. All the martial artists felt a chill in their hearts. It seemed like they had been captured by the mysterious face on the screen.

Moreover, the owner of this mysterious face seemed to be able to control the robots in the ruins. This was very terrifying. Could there be intelligent lifeforms in this ruin?

This seemed too unbelievable. After all, this ancient civilization was already very ancient, at least tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

If intelligent lifeforms really existed, and they could control the war robots in the ruins, that would be very horrifying, far more horrifying than those dire beast Predators.

That would be the true calamity to the human civilization!

Having learned their lesson, no one dared to struggle anymore. They all stared intently at the mechanical face on the screen.

"You are… intelligent lifeforms.

"Tell… me… what… life is.

"Life, tell me… you can… leave."

The mechanical face on the screen spoke intermittently, but its voice was very awkward. Moreover, the meaning behind its words was intriguing.

What was life?

In the eyes of many martial artists and ordinary humans, life was life. Everyone knew about life, but no one could say it in detail.

"We are life! There are also many lives outside, including dire beasts and humans. Who exactly are you?" Lin Hai suddenly replied.

"I need to know… what is… life?"

The mechanical face on the screen had a very cold expression. Then, it seemed to have given an order. A few robots immediately stepped forward and connected a few tubes to the heads of a few martial artists.

Buzz.

Suddenly, those martial artists trembled, as if they had seen something terrifying. Their bodies began to struggle violently, and the expressions on their faces seemed to twisting.

At the same time, the mechanical face on the screen gave a contemplative look.

"Martial artist, family… Is this life?"

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The heads of a few martial artists exploded instantly, as if they could not withstand the pressure. Yellow and white splattered all over the ground.

Lin Hai, Wai, and the others were shocked. The scene in front of them was too unsettling.

"Life, I need to know… the meaning of life!"

"Your thoughts are very complicated…"

"I need to connect your minds. If you cannot withstand it, you will be terminated…"

Lin Hai's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at those martial artists whose heads had exploded. Could it be that what happened just now was the so-called connection of minds? Once they could not withstand it, their heads would explode?

"Who exactly are you?"

Wai also clearly realized this. He watched as the robot walked up and began to struggle violently. However, his entire body was shackled, and there was no Astral Power in its body. Wai and Lin Hai could not break free at all.

"If I'm not wrong, it might not be life." Lin Hai suddenly said in a low voice.

"Not life?"

"That's right. If it's life, why is there a need to know the secret of life so urgently?"

Lin Hai thought of a possibility, but what was the use of knowing? They had lost their ability to resist now, and were already meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

A thin tube was attached to the heads of all the martial artists.

Buzz.

As a strong electric current was released from the tube, Lin Hai immediately felt his entire body tremble. He began spasming, and his head felt as if it had been emptied. Intense pain spread throughout his body.

Just like Lin Hai, everyone was trembling violently. Their minds were blank, as if something had burrowed into their heads.

At this moment, everyone's memories were connected. Countless images intertwined, flickered, and appeared in everyone's minds again.

These martial artists did not even know which memories were theirs and which were others'. Everyone's thoughts and memories were mixed up.

Vaguely, a strange thought seemed to have entered their memories, forcefully intruding into their minds like bandits.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

After only three seconds, Lin Hai and the other martial artists could no longer withstand it. It was as if there was a bomb in their heads that could blow up at any moment.

Chapter 269: Second Brother!

"Not here… Nowhere!"

Lin Feng kept walking forward, but did not find his second brother's corpse. In fact, according to his speculation, there were only about 80 corpses. What about the rest of the 100-men team?

There were neither survivors nor dead bodies. Something strange must be going on!

"Eh? I intercepted a message just now that ordered those robots to retreat to the ruins. Not good, there are intelligent lifeforms in this ruin. They can even control the entire ruin."

Longbetham suddenly said loudly. At the same time, the robots outside began to retreat one after another, all returning to the ruins.

"The signal was sent from the ruins? Longbetham, can you trace the source of the signal?"

"Of course I can. It is not far in front of you. It came from underground."

Lin Feng followed Longbetham's instructions and went along the corridor. After making a few turns, he indeed discovered stairs leading downwards. Moreover, there were a large number of robots guarding the entrance of the stairs.

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng snorted coldly. He could easily defeat these robots even with a combat body of a few meters.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Lin Feng was as fast as lightning. He instantly defeated these guarding robots. Then, he looked down and realized that the stairs extended very deep down. There seemed to be a basement below.

There was also a light at the end of the stairs. Surprised, Lin Feng slowly approached the light and extended his mental power.

Mental power was invisible. With a slight movement of Lin Feng's current Mental Power Sphere, a large amount of mental power covered the area dozens of meters in front of him.

Through his mental power, he saw an incomparably huge basement. There was a dense horde of many robots standing in the basement.

In the middle of the basement were numerous stone platforms, with some martial artists strapped to them.

Among them was Lin Feng's second brother, Lin Hai!

"Second Brother!"

Boom.

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng rushed into the basement immediately. At the same time, many robots reacted. Lin Feng's body expanded rapidly, instantly expanding to a height of ten meters.

This basement was very spacious and tall. Lin Feng's ten-meter-tall combat body was like a small giant as he instantly charged towards the stone platforms. With a grab of his hand, the handcuffs of unknown metal that were shackling his second brother shattered like jelly.

"Second Brother!"

Lin Feng saved his second brother.

Lin Hai was in a daze. He seemed to have heard someone calling his name. His head hurt terribly. At that moment, he felt as if his head was about to explode.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

It was familiar because he had seen this face from a young age, yet unfamiliar because he rarely seemed to see it recently. In particular, this face had become incomparably huge now.

"Third Brother!"

Lin Hai smiled. It was his third brother, Lin Feng. No matter how much Lin Feng had changed, the moment he saw Lin Feng, he knew that this was his third brother, Lin Feng!

Lin Hai did not ask Lin Feng why he was here, nor did he ask Lin Feng why he looked like a small giant. The fact that Lin Feng was here already explained everything.

This was his brother, his true brother. The blood between them was thicker than water!

"Third Brother, help them first and save them all."

Lin Hai looked at the martial artists beside him.

Lin Feng nodded. With a smack of his palm, countless chains were shattered. The chains that Lin Hai and the other Metamorphic Realm martial artists felt were impossible to break free from were actually shattered by Lin Feng with a casual smack.

Bang.

However, there were still some people who were not that lucky. Their heads had exploded instantly. Lin Feng only saved 11 people.

"Wai, are you all right?"

Lin Hai supported Wai, who was seriously injured. If Lin Feng had been any later, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold out.

"Lin Hai, this is your third brother? Not bad, not bad. He's indeed a dragon among men."

Wai was still in the mood to joke at a time like this. Lin Hai smiled helplessly.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He looked at the mechanical face on the large screen in the middle of the basement. All of this was the doing of this mechanical face.

In fact, the signal that Longbetham intercepted was also sent by this mechanical face. The culprit was this mechanical face!

"Second Brother, I'll escort you guys out first!"

"No, Lin Feng, control the ruins first! This is my mission, but I lack the ability to complete it, while you have the ability to do so. I'm begging you."

Lin Hai gritted his teeth. He was unwilling to leave just like this. Otherwise, he would be letting down those who had died, and even more so, the brother-in-arms who had saved his life.

His very purpose of participating in Operation Wall Breaker was to fulfill his promise to his brother-in-arms. Even if he died, he had to complete the mission!

Lin Feng did not ask why. He could feel the determination in his second brother's gaze.

"Second Brother, you guys go out first. I know how to control this ruin!"

"You do?"

Lin Hai took a deep breath and continued in a low voice, "Third Brother, I trust you. I'll await your good news outside!"

With that, Lin Hai turned around and left with everyone.

At this moment, the ruin was actually very safe, because the large number of robots outside had begun retreating. Lin Feng asked his second brother to leave with the other martial artists, so they would not encounter any danger.

However, Lin Feng knew that this ruin might become very dangerous next.

"Lin Feng, it is below!"

"It?"

"An artificial intelligence that wants to become a lifeform, a true mechanical lifeform!" Longbetham's tone was grim.

Lin Feng did not know what was so terrifying about an artificial intelligence turning into a mechanical lifeform, but he could sense a faint aura of danger coming from under the basement, and it was becoming more and more obvious.

Hence, Lin Feng walked deeper down into the basement alone.

…

The deep basement did not feel dark and damp at all. Rather, it was very dry.

This basement was huge, like a factory. Inside lay a massive robot that was hundreds of meters tall and completely pitch-black. Some small robots were guarding this place.

In front of the basement, a large screen displayed a huge mechanical face. At this moment, the expression of the mechanical face seemed to have changed slightly.

"Everything is ready. Begin transmission!"

As the voice of the mechanical face finished speaking, the huge mechanical face on the screen flickered slightly before disappearing.

At the same time, the huge robot on the ground that was over a hundred meters tall appeared to be activated all of a sudden. Electricity flashed through its body, and its gigantic body shook slightly.

After an unknown period of time, the massive black metal robot's body suddenly jolted. The circuits and tubes on its body were all shattered.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, the massive metal robot opened its eyes.

Chapter 270: It's Here!

Bang.

Lin Feng broke open the door and rushed in.

After rushing in, the first thing he saw was the giant robot on the ground.

At this moment, the robot had already opened its eyes. Their eyes met. Lin Feng could actually see the "emotions" in the other party's gaze. Could an artificial intelligence also have emotions?

"Lin Feng, quick, take that Spear of Destruction! That is a product of the First Civilization!"

"Spear of Destruction?"

This was also the first time Lin Feng had heard of it. However, judging from Longbetham's anxious tone, this Spear of Destruction was clearly rather extraordinary.

This Spear of Destruction was over ten meters long. It was covered in all kinds of patterns, and contained a terrifying energy. However, not only did this energy not feel very "attractive" to Lin Feng, it felt very dangerous to him.

There was a similar aura on it to those beams of Light of Destruction, only stronger on the Spear of Destruction.

Right now, Longbetham had no time to explain what the Spear of Destruction was. It merely kept urging Lin Feng to obtain it.

Hence, Lin Feng moved. He flew towards the Spear of Destruction immediately.

Lin Feng's speed was already fast enough. He was even about to grasp the Spear of Destruction. He could sense the completely alien power contained in it.

This power was completely different from Astral Power, and the technological weapons of the seventh civilization.

Thud.

Just as Lin Feng was about to approach the Spear of Destruction, a huge metal hand suddenly grabbed the Spear of Destruction, and another huge hand lashed towards Lin Feng.

Bang.

Lin Feng felt as if he had been struck by ten thousand tons of force. He went flying involuntarily and fell heavily to the ground.

"This strength…"

Lin Feng's expression became very solemn. Since he mastered the Tidal Combat Body, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent who was evenly matched with him in terms of strength.

The massive robot slowly stood up. Its entire body shook, and the whole basement seemed to be shaking. Its massive body began to stand up, directly breaking the ceiling above its head.

Rumble.

The basement collapsed completely, and the entire ruin seemed to be shaking violently.

The Hoarfrost King and the hundreds of Metamorphic Realm martial artists from the Brimstone Base were originally still wondering why so many robots seemed to have retreated and returned to the ruins.

They were still hesitating, not knowing if they should approach the ruins. Suddenly, the entire ruins shook violently, like an earthquake.

"What happened?"

"The ruins seem to have collapsed."

"Collapse? Impossible. How can it suddenly collapse?"

"Will those robots be buried when the ruins collapse? That'd be great."

The tremors became stronger and stronger. The Hoarfrost King and the others hurriedly retreated a distance.

Some of the other martial artists were still rejoicing, but the Hoarfrost King's expression was very solemn. Could the ruins collapsing for no reason have something to do with Lin Feng?

Boom.

The ruins collapsed completely, but at the same time, a huge robot over a hundred meters tall appeared in the ruins. This robot's entire body flickered with a black metallic light, and it held a strange spear in its hand.

The robot raised its spear. Ten terrifying auras appeared outside the ruins. They were the Light of Destruction. These beams of Light of Destruction erupted instantly, but they were all absorbed by the spear in the robot's hand. They did not cause any damage to the robot at all.

"A calamity. This is the true calamity!"

The Hoarfrost King's voice trembled with agitation. Terrifying, this was just too terrifying. This robot actually made him feel suffocated. It seemed to have far exceeded the level of a Meta-divine Martial Artist, reaching the level of a Sage with four life transitions.

It was even comparable to those demon emperors!

At this thought, the Hoarfrost King was a little at a loss. Demon emperor—the appearance of even one demon emperor would be a calamity for humanity.

The Nine Sages were stationed in the depths of the Outland to keep an eye on those demon emperors. Now, a robot that was very likely a war machine left behind by an ancient civilization had suddenly appeared, and it was actually comparable to demon emperors. It meant a new variable had suddenly appeared.

Without a Sage, how could they resist this robot?

"Quick, send information to the Headquarters!"

The Hoarfrost King's voice was trembling. He was a dignified expert titled King, the famous Hoarfrost King, but his hands and feet had gone cold at this moment. He did not even have the slightest bit of courage to fight.

If this terrifying robot had appeared, what about Lin Feng?

The Hoarfrost King's heart sank. Perhaps Lin Feng was already doomed.

…

A total of three Five-star Generals oversaw the headquarters of the military faction.

As the robot crisis that erupted in the ancient civilization base, the military faction had been deploying troops to resolve this crisis, but there was still no resolution as of now.

"General, there's an update."

"Report at once."

"The Hoarfrost King sent a message from the Brimstone Base. A robot over a hundred meters tall has appeared in the ancient civilization ruins. It's suspected to be comparable to a demon emperor. The situation is critical. The descent of a Sage is requested."

After the intelligence officer finished reading the intelligence report from the Hoarfrost King, the entire command hall fell silent.

Demon emperor. How could a demon emperor suddenly appear?

Although the robot crisis before was also very dangerous, the military faction could still control the situation. While the martial artists under command suffered heavy casualties, the situation was still under control.

But now, a robot that was comparable to a demon emperor had suddenly appeared. It even necessitated the descent of a Sage. This had already exceeded the control of the military faction.

If it were any other martial artist who reported it, they might have carefully investigated it further. However, this was personally reported by the Hoarfrost King. This meant that even if the other party was not a demon emperor, it was not far from it. No matter how many martial artists were deployed, they would be sent to their deaths. It was meaningless.

However, how could Sages descend so easily?

"Report to the Sages!"

Even Five-star Generals had no right to deal with such a major matter. Only Sages could deal with demon emperors, but could the Nine Sages spare the time currently?

If the departure of the Nine Sages led to the demon emperors wreaking destruction, it would be another disaster.

…

"It's coming!"

The Hoarfrost King's expression was solemn. After the robot appeared, he was already prepared to lead the men to retreat, but the robot's gaze immediately locked onto them.

Flee?

Under such circumstances, how could they flee from a robot comparable to a demon emperor?

Although the information had already been reported, it was not that easy for Sages to descend. The Hoarfrost King knew very well that the mission of Sages was even more difficult. They had to keep an eye on more demon emperors.

Hence, the appearance of every new demon emperor was a calamity for the entire human world.

And now, this calamity had already come to pass!

Chapter 271: Lin Feng Appearing

"Divine Kingdom, come into being!"

The Hoarfrost King roared. All the Astral Power in his body erupted, and the terrifying Astral Force Field formed a divine kingdom filled with rampaging storms!

This divine kingdom enveloped the huge black metal robot. However, no matter how powerful the storms swept, surrounded, and tore, they did not seem to pose any threat to the robot.

The huge metal robot's red eyes flashed slightly. Then, it extended its huge mechanical arm and grabbed hard.

Crunch.

Intangibly, Hoarfrost King felt as if his divine kingdom had shattered, and the balance of his Astral Force Field was broken at this instant.

Boom.

The Hoarfrost King's Divine Kingdom was completely blown apart. Terrifying Astral Power wreaked havoc in all directions. Even those Metamorphic Realm martial artists were implicated, and more than half of them were injured or killed.

Even the divine kingdom could not stop this robot. In fact, in the eyes of this robot, the Hoarfrost King was no threat at all.

"Retreat, retreat quickly, retreat as far as possible…"

The Hoarfrost King's face was ashen. He was already powerless to stop this robot in front of him. Perhaps only a Sage was capable of stopping this robot.

The robot raised its foot, and its huge mechanical foot stomped down on the Hoarfrost King like a mountain. This stomp was enough to crush the Hoarfrost King.

At this moment, it was impossible for the little Astral Power left in the Hoarfrost King's body to resist it.

The Hoarfrost King took a deep breath. He would probably be the first martial artist titled King to fall in this calamity!

"No…"

"Even the Hoarfrost King can't resist it. We're finished."

"What the hell is this thing?"

Looking at that massive robot, it was simply unstoppable. If even the Hoarfrost King could not resist it, who could?

Once this robot charged into the human cities at the homefront, the consequences would be unthinkable. Perhaps there would be another calamity wreaked by a demon emperor.

Everyone could only stare blankly at the huge foot that descended from the sky. Who else could stop this robot?

Bang.

An earth-shattering explosion sounded like a thunderclap. Dust filled the air, and the entire ruin was reduced to ruins.

The Hoarfrost King was stunned. He looked up at the sky, and then at himself. He was fine?

"Third Brother!"

Lin Hai's eyes widened. What did he see?

Lin Feng. It was clearly Lin Feng. He actually held the giant foot of the robot with one hand. The ten-meter-tall Lin Feng looked like a dwarf in front of the hundred-meter-tall robot.

However, at this moment, Lin Feng was like an indomitable giant in everyone's hearts!

"Go!"

Lin Feng's expression was solemn as he said to the still dazed Hoarfrost King.

The Hoarfrost King took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'm the Hoarfrost King. Thank you for saving my life. If anything comes up in the future…"

"Go!"

Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed. His entire body was pressed into the ground, but he still grabbed the Hoarfrost King with his other hand and threw him out forcefully.

Boom.

The giant robot suddenly stomped down, causing dust to fill the air. The Hoarfrost King rolled on the ground in a sorry state, but he was not displeased at all. In order to save him, Lin Feng had even sacrificed his life.

"Third Brother, you won't die!"

"Lin Feng…"

Lin Hai clenched his fists tightly, while the Hoarfrost King was filled with regret.

Lin Feng was indeed stomped into the ground. Ever since he mastered the Tidal Combat Body, he had never been in such a sorry state.

Hence, he no longer hesitated and suddenly leaped out from the ground.

"He's alive!"

"Haha, he's really alive. As the Hoarfrost King, I owe you my life!"

Lin Feng's gaze was cold. He took a deep breath. He felt a heavy pressure from this giant robot. This was definitely the strongest opponent he had ever encountered after mastering the combat body!

"Tidal Combat Body!"

Lin Feng's body began to expand like a balloon, rapidly growing to over a hundred meters, the same size as the robot.

However, this was not the end. Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body continued to expand. In the blink of an eye, it had expanded to 182 meters. This was Lin Feng's strongest state currently.

If it had not been permanently and severely damaged by the ten beams of Light of Destruction, Lin Feng's combat body could still be stronger. But now, it was only over 180 meters.

However, even at over 180 meters, it was still much larger than this giant robot. It was almost twice as tall, allowing Lin Feng to tower over the giant robot from above.

Seeing Lin Feng expand to a size larger than a giant robot at once, the Hoarfrost King, Lin Hai, and the others were stunned.

This was especially the case for the Hoarfrost King. He could sense that there was no fluctuation of Astral Power on Lin Feng's body. Moreover, no martial art could expand the body to this extent.

At the Hoarfrost King's level, many secrets were actually no longer secrets. A speculation immediately came to his mind.

"Could it be a legacy from an ancient civilization?"

If it was really an ancient civilization legacy, it would be no small matter. Some Divine Realm and Meta-divine Realm experts were actually seeking to obtain legacies of ancient civilizations.

However, there were very few who could truly obtain the legacy of an ancient civilization. The Nine Sages had all entered ancient ruins and even obtained legacies of ancient civilizations.

Things discovered in ancient civilizations might improve one's power tremendously.

There was no doubt that Lin Feng's current performance was a legacy of some ancient civilization. Moreover, this ancient civilization legacy was rather terrifying. Lin Feng only had the aura of a second life transition, but his ability to fight with this robot comparable to an demon emperor made it evident how powerful Lin Feng was at this moment.

Even if he was inferior to the Sages, he was not far from them.

The Hoarfrost King's expression was very solemn. He even thought about many things. If word of today's matter spread, Lin Feng would be in some trouble. However, if Lin Feng really had the strength of a peak Meta-divine Realm expert, and was even not far from a Sage, so what if he had obtained an ancient civilization legacy?

The Hoarfrost King thought about much, but Lin Feng did not think so much. The robot he was facing was giving him a lot of pressure.

He threw a punch directly. The terrifying power pressed down like a mountain. It was not much weaker than the stomp of the robot just now, and might even be stronger.

However, a red light flashed in the robot's eyes. Then, it swung its fist and clashed head-on.

Boom.

The ground was shaking, and a terrifying force spread in all directions. Lin Feng and the robot each took a few steps back. In terms of strength, Lin Feng was actually not much stronger than the robot.

This was the first time Lin Feng had encountered an opponent whose strength was on par with his Tidal Combat Body.

"Again!"

Lin Feng began to use some of the techniques of the Tidal Combat Body. Apart from defense, the strongest aspect of the Tidal Combat Body was strength, and its endurance was nigh infinite.

Lin Feng's fists rained down in a frenzy. The robot was not to be outdone either. The two sides were engaged in close combat, a head-on clash of raw strength.

Any technique or Astral Power was useless before such power.

Chapter 272: Killing Machine

"General, the latest news is that the emperor-level robot has been held back. The martial artists from the Brimstone Base and the Hoarfrost King are temporarily saved."

In the military command hall, a major was reporting the latest news to the three Five-star Generals.

"The emperor-level robot is held back? Could a Sage have spared the time to stop the emperor-level robot?"

The military had temporarily named this robot an emperor-level robot, which meant that it was as threatening as an emperor-level demon. Apart from Sages, it was impossible for anyone to resist an emperor-level demon. It would be difficult to even hold it off.

Only Sages could deal with demon emperors. This was practically an ironclad rule!

"It's not a Sage, but… Lin Feng!"

"Lin Feng?"

"Lin Feng from the Global Martial Arts Competition. He… should only be a Divine Realm martial artist with a second life transition."

Hearing the major's report, the three Five-star Generals looked at each other. As experts in the military, they naturally knew about the Global Martial Arts Competition. They naturally knew about Lin Feng, who had risen to fame through the Global Martial Arts Competition.

Wasn't Lin Feng a Metamorphic Realm martial artist? How had he suddenly undergone a second life transition?

"Look up Lin Feng's information."

Soon, detailed information about Lin Feng was pulled up through the military system—from the moment Lin Feng was born until he entered the Myriad Academy, finally breaking the genetic lock, turning the tide in Dragonlith City, causing a stir in Stone City, and finally shocking the world in the Global Martial Arts Competition as the greatest dark horse.

All the information was very detailed.

"General, Lin Feng was just appointed as the Legate of Central Sea City not long ago. He has already been confirmed by the academic faction as a Divine Realm martial artist with a second life transition! Moreover, Lord Invincible Fist Sage personally intervened and made Lin Feng the Legate."

The three Five-star Generals did not really care if Lin Feng was the Legate. What they cared about was why Lin Feng could resist that emperor-level robot.

"Transmit the battle scene between Lin Feng and the emperor-level robot onto the big screen immediately."

Soon, the big screen in the military command hall showed the battle between Lin Feng and the emperor-level robot. Both parties were over a hundred meters tall, especially Lin Feng, who was probably close to 200 meters tall.

Both parties used raw strength. Every strike could cause even the ground to shake violently, like the most devastating bomb explosion. The devastating power displayed in their current battle could easily destroy a city.

It was indeed on the level of a demon emperor.

"He's not a Sage, but his combat power is almost on par with a Sage… Could it be an ancient civilization legacy?"

The expressions of the three Five-star Generals all turned solemn. However, this was ultimately a good thing. With someone stopping the emperor-level robot, it would not cause a calamity.

"Classify Lin Feng's information as top secret at once! We'll report to the Nine Sages."

The three Five-star Generals knew how important this matter was. A powerful martial artist who was not a Sage, but had combat power comparable to a Sage had appeared among humanity.

This was a blessing for humanity!

…

Lin Feng did not know that he had already caught the attention of the upper echelons of the military. He did not even know that he was crowned with the combat power of a Sage. His only thought now was to defeat the robot in front of him.

Lin Feng went all out. Both the defense and recovery power of his Tidal Combat Body were astonishing. As long as he did not suffer permanent injuries, he could recover quickly, no matter how severe the injuries.

He put his full force behind every punch. Moreover, with his Tidal Combat Body, every inch of his body was the most terrifying weapon.

Ever since Lin Feng had mastered the Tidal Combat Body, he had never been so unbridled and focused during battle. He could fight with all his heart, no longer restrained, and fully unleash the advantage of his combat body.

The giant robot and Lin Feng were like prehistoric behemoths, attacking in a frenzy. Lin Feng relied on his powerful defense and strength to attack heedlessly. His combat body erupted wildly, and each eruption was earth-shattering as a magnitude 10 earthquake.

With the ruins as the epicenter, the surrounding few kilometers were already in complete chaos. The entire area was a battlefield between Lin Feng and the giant robot.

As for those who were watching the battle, including the Hoarfrost King, they had already retreated to a distance over 10 kilometers away. Even the slightest aftershock might kill them.

This was also a rare opportunity. Moreover, the combat methods of both parties were completely different from that of martial artists. Instead, they were like those demons, but without any special innate abilities. They were engaged in a complete "physical combat".

The power of this "physical combat" was rather devastating. They were not even qualified to approach it.

However, as the battle dragged on, Lin Feng gradually realized that the giant robot in front of him seemed to be learning. That's right—the other party was learning. Its combat techniques were constantly improving. From the initial crudeness to the current precision, the speed at which the giant robot "learned" was simply too fast.

"Lin Feng, stop tangling with it. Either destroy it or leave quickly. It has already gradually fused with this destruction robot. This is a killing machine specially created by the third civilization that can fuse with the Spear of Destruction. It has already completely fused with this killing robot. It is currently fusing the power of the Spear of Destruction. Once the fusion is successful, you will be in danger."

Longbetham reminded him in time. It seemed to already know the origins of this giant robot.

"Destruction robot? The war machine of the third civilization? And fusing the Spear of Destruction, like the Light of Destruction from before?"

At this thought, Lin Feng's heart clenched.

He had encountered the Light of Destruction previously. That annihilative power left him with a lingering fear. It had even permanently damaged his Tidal Combat Body.

Now that this robot was actually fusing the Spear of Destruction, Lin Feng naturally could not let it have its way.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. He carefully recalled the Tidal Combat Body. It was akin to the tide, surging and boundless in power, wave after wave—this was the true essence of the Tidal Combat Body!

Boom.

The power in Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body was completely mobilized. He closed his eyes and locked his mental power on the destruction robot without even looking.

Lin Feng rained down punch after punch in a frenzy. His attacks instantly became several times more ferocious, not giving the destruction robot in front of him any time to recover.

Bang.

Lin Feng sent the destruction robot flying with a punch. He quickly stepped forward and stomped on it again.

Crunch.

The arm of the destruction robot was broken at once, and a trace of damage finally appeared on its metal body.

However, this was only the beginning. Lin Feng's heart rejoiced. He immediately grabbed the arm of the destruction robot and tore hard.

There was a ripping noise.

The arm of the destruction robot was ripped out at once, but its other hand suddenly grabbed Lin Feng's arm and ripped it out forcefully as well.

The cells in Lin Feng's arm quickly changed arrangement, becoming slippery like soft rubber. Even though it was stretched out very far, his arm was unharmed.

"Die!"

The power of the Tidal Combat Body erupted from Lin Feng's body again. He aimed at the destructive robot's head and smashed down at it like a sledgehammer.

Buzz.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt his heart palpitate. A black spear had appeared in the robot's hand at some point in time, flickering with black light.

Chapter 273: Spear of Destruction

"Spear of Destruction?"

Lin Feng's expression was solemn. Longbetham had reminded him a few times. Of course he knew about the Spear of Destruction.

At this moment, the Spear of Destruction appeared in the hand of this destruction robot. It slashed down fiercely at such a close distance.

Swish.

How massive was Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body?

Even if he dodged, it was impossible for him to completely avoid this Spear of Destruction. With a light slash from the Spear of Destruction, his arm ignited like a blazing flame.

The countless cells on Lin Feng's arm seemed to be burned by scorching flames. There was a miraculous power in the Spear of Destruction that could annihilate everything.

Hence, when he was struck by the Spear of Destruction, countless cells on Lin Feng's arm were annihilated. His arm was originally very large, but in just a few seconds, it was festering at a visible speed, like a withering flower, quickly dissipating.

Bang.

Lin Feng kicked out and sent the destruction robot flying. He tried to change the arrangement of the cells on his arm, switching to all kinds of forms, but it was useless. The terrifying annihilative power inside was rapidly destroying the cells in Lin Feng's body.

In just a few seconds, Lin Feng's combat body had lost at least two meters.

"Abandon it!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng gave up on the part of his arm that had been struck by the Spear of Destruction. His original 182-meter combat body instantly shrank to 178 meters, losing a total of four meters.

The Tidal Combat Body was based on size. The larger the body, the tighter the cell arrangement, and the more cells there were, the more energy it could accommodate, and the stronger the combat body was.

If its size and number of cells decreased, it meant that it had suffered permanent trauma, and its strength would decrease.

This was the case for Lin Feng now. Previously, due to the Light of Destruction, he had already suffered permanent damage, and his body had become slightly smaller. Now that he was injured again, his body shrank further.

It was not that easy to cultivate it back again.

However, if he wanted to survive and not suffer greater damage, Lin Feng would have to give up a portion of his combat body. Otherwise, the strange annihilative power on the Spear of Destruction could even destroy Lin Feng's entire combat body.

"What a strange power!"

Lin Feng was shocked. The power of the Spear of Destruction was too terrifying. This was just a slight graze. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if his vital parts were struck?

He would even be severely injured instantly.

For the first time, Lin Feng felt that this Spear of Destruction could really threaten his life.

The robot that used the Spear of Destruction seemed to be in "pain". Although the robot was expressionless, Lin Feng's mental power could sense the unique "emotional" fluctuations of the destructive robot.

This was no longer just a cold robot. Instead, it felt a little like life.

"Lin Feng, you must obtain the Spear of Destruction. This artificial intelligence is already fusing with the robot, but it has yet to complete fusion. It is not a true mechanical lifeform yet."

"Once it becomes a mechanical lifeform, it can completely fuse the Spear of Destruction. In your world, I am afraid even the Nine Sages combined would not be able to deal with it."

"Therefore, you must take this opportunity to obtain the Spear of Destruction."

Lin Feng frowned. He knew how powerful the Spear of Destruction was, but this was still the result of incomplete fusion. If it was completely fused, how strong would it be?

According to Longbetham, even the Nine Sages combined would not be able to deal with the robot that had fused the Spear of Destruction.

Longbetham seemed to take this Spear of Destruction very seriously, and so did the robots. Otherwise, why would it fuse the Spear of Destruction?

Moreover, the annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction was simply terrifying. It was not that easy for Lin Feng to obtain the Spear of Destruction.

"Longbetham, do you have a way to deal with this robot? It hasn't become a mechanical lifeform yet, and you're already a true mechanical lifeform!"

Lin Feng felt that Longbetham seemed to be hiding something, especially about the Spear of Destruction. In fact, Longbetham had been equivocating and did not explain it in detail.

Longbetham was silent for a moment before finally saying in a low voice, "This artificial intelligence is evolving into a mechanical lifeform. Only living beings can completely fuse with the Spear of Destruction. This is also the real reason why it so insists on becoming a mechanical lifeform. In short, no matter the price, you must obtain the Spear of Destruction!"

"As for this robot, it has not become a mechanical lifeform. I can indeed deal with it, but you have to let me enter its control core. When the time comes, I will be able to completely control its core."

"How can I let you enter the control core?"

"It is very simple. You only need to place the communicator on its head, and I will be able to enter its control core. Remember, you do not have many chances. You may only have one chance. If it leaves with the Spear of Destruction, or unleashes the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction. I will not be able to save you then."

Lin Feng was actually a little hesitant. Should he trust Longbetham?

Although he had become Longbetham's so-called "subject of evaluation", after so long, Lin Feng still knew very little about Longbetham. He only knew that Longbetham was a mechanical lifeform, and that was because Longbetham itself had said so.

Right now, he was facing a critical moment, a life-or-death moment. If Longbetham failed to enter the control core of this artificial intelligence, Lin Feng would face a direct attack from the Spear of Destruction. The consequences would be unthinkable.

At this moment, there was not much time left for Lin Feng to consider. The robot stood up again. Lin Feng could clearly feel that the robot was somewhat "angry".

Red light kept flickering in the robot's red eyes. Then, its mechanical arm was simply repaired, and also became able to move freely.

Moreover, the Spear of Destruction was already in the robot's hand, emitting a terrifying glint.

The robot's speed became faster and faster. In the end, it was practically sprinting. It raised the Spear of Destruction in its hand and charged towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng knew that this was the critical battle!

His Tidal Combat Body began to shake violently, and then his cells arranged themselves in a frenzy. Although the Tidal Combat Body did not expand, the arrangement of his cells was already completely different from before.

This was the strongest defense state of the Tidal Combat Body. With layers over layers of cells, it was enough to face any power.

Although Lin Feng did not make Longbetham any promises, he had already made his choice with his actions.

"Come at me." Lin Feng muttered softly, his eyes flashing with madness.

His eyes were fixed on the Spear of Destruction. The only thing that threatened him was the Spear of Destruction, and a bold idea was already forming in his mind.

Boom.

Lin Feng moved as well. His massive body shot towards the destruction robot like a cannonball.

Lin Feng raised his arm up high. Then, his arm rapidly expanded, and he grabbed hard at the Spear of Destruction in the robot's hand.

Bang.

Lin Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body was trembling violently. The Spear of Destruction easily pierced through his palm, and pierced straight through Lin Feng's left shoulder.

In that instant, Lin Feng even felt that he was already facing death. It was as if he would be completely annihilated and disappear from this world in the next moment.

Chapter 274: Codename Destroyer

The annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction spread rapidly. The speed was incredible, but Lin Feng gritted his teeth and allowed the cells in his body to be annihilated continuously.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly approached the robot's head and stuck the communicator on it.

"Longbetham, it's your turn!"

Lin Feng growled. An invisible fluctuation instantly entered the robot's head. At the same time, Lin Feng suddenly grabbed the Spear of Destruction with his other hand.

His hands were burning. The terrifying annihilative power kept ravaging the cells in Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng's hands seemed to be rapidly turning into ashes at a visible speed.

This scene made everyone nervous. Although they did not understand what was going on, from the looks of it, Lin Feng must have reached the most critical moment.

"Let go!"

Lin Feng roared. He exerted force on his Tidal Combat Body and actually pulled out the Spear of Destruction inch by inch with both hands. The robot, on the other hand, had a blank expression on its face, as if it was motionless.

Boom.

Finally, Lin Feng gripped the Spear of Destruction. However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, the cells in his body were rapidly annihilated.

"Oh no!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He could only give up on some of the cells that had been pierced by the Spear of Destruction previously. This time, he was going all out, and was even prepared to enter an internecine exchange.

In reality, both parties were indeed injured. Lin Feng looked at the robot and saw that it was motionless. Clearly, Longbetham had succeeded. However, it was still uncertain if Longbetham could take over the robot's control core.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, was seriously injured. He had been struck by the Spear of Destruction. Even though his combat body was very strong, it could not withstand the annihilation of his cells.

Many of Lin Feng's cells were almost annihilated and necrotic on a large scale. He had to abandon them immediately. Otherwise, the destructive power would continue to spread. By then, it would probably be too late for Lin Feng to abandon them, even if he wanted to.

"Abandon!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He could not bear to do it. There were simply too many cells that had been invaded by the annihilative power this time. He had abandoned all of them at once, and suffered severe damage almost immediately.

His combat body, which was originally 178 meters long, immediately shrank to only 150 meters when Lin Feng decided to abandon some of his cells.

Having abandoned about 28 meters of his combat body, it was evident how serious the damage the Spear of Destruction had dealt to Lin Feng was.

If this happened a few more times, even with the Tidal Combat Body, Lin Feng would probably not be able to resist it.

"Spear of Destruction?"

Lin Feng lowered his head and looked at the Spear of Destruction in his hand. The entire Spear of Destruction was more than ten meters long. It looked ordinary, but Lin Feng had been severely injured by it. Added on to the fact that he had been severely injured by the Light of Destruction previously, Lin Feng had lost about 54 meters of his combat body since he came to this ruin.

Losing a quarter of his combat body was definitely a heavy loss, but Lin Feng was also very happy to obtain this Spear of Destruction. This was a product of the first civilization that even Longbetham valued greatly. With such a terrifying power, if he studied it thoroughly, it would also greatly increase Lin Feng's strength.

However, Lin Feng did not dare to study the Spear of Destruction without guidance. He had heard from Longbetham that the other robot seemed to be fusing the Spear of Destruction, hoping to unleash its full power.

It only failed at the last step after encountering Lin Feng and Longbetham.

Longbetham was probably the only one who knew how to fuse the Spear of Destruction.

Time passed slowly, but there was still no news from Longbetham. Lin Feng was a little anxious. If Longbetham had not asked Lin Feng to wait, he would even have destroyed the destructive robot in front of him directly.

Actually, although this destructive robot was very strong, and perhaps comparable to an emperor-level demon, it still could not gain any advantage against Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body.

If they entered a war of attrition, Lin Feng would definitely be able to defeat this robot.

This also gave Lin Feng a direct understanding of his current strength. At the very least, he was not inferior to ordinary demon emperors. In other words, Lin Feng was now entirely comparable to a Sage!

He was not a Sage, but he had the combat power of a Sage!

Of course, that was Lin Feng's strength when he had the 200-meter combat body. Now that he had lost a quarter of his combat body, his strength was only three-quarters of what it was before.

Fortunately, Lin Feng could cultivate it back again. He only needed to devour a large amount of energy to quickly improve his combat body.

The robot did not move, and Lin Feng held the Spear of Destruction in both hands. Even his massive body was much shorter. This made the Hoarfrost King, the martial artists of the Brimstone Base, and even the generals in the military command hall very nervous. They did not know how the battle was going.

About three minutes later, the robot finally moved.

"Lin Feng, it is settled."

"Settled?"

Longbetham's voice appeared in Lin Feng's head, but Lin Feng could not tell that Longbetham had dealt with this robot by looking at it.

"It was just a little away from fusing with the Spear of Destruction. Unfortunately, it is not a true mechanical lifeform, but only artificial intelligence. No matter how intelligent it is, it is just a program. Therefore, I entered its control core and naturally took over it with ease. I have already modified its program. It is just an intelligent robot, and obeys your commands now. You are its master now."

"I'm its owner?"

Lin Feng was moved by the thought. He knew very well what this meant. Even without the Spear of Destruction, this robot was still comparable to an ordinary demon emperor. Previously, it could actually fight Lin Feng to a standstill.

If he had such a robot subordinate comparable to a demon emperor, it would be of great benefit to both the entire human society and to Lin Feng.

No wonder Longbetham did not want Lin Feng to destroy the robot. It turned out that it wanted to control the robot to be Lin Feng's subordinate.

"What is your name?" Lin Feng asked the robot.

"Master, my codename is Destroyer!"

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. It was indeed a killing machine. This codename sounded very unusual.

"What do you rely on as a driving force?"

"Energy!"

"How much energy would you require?"

"I have an energy converter in my body that can convert various kinds of energy at all times, including cosmic rays, star power, energy ores, and so on."

"You can control this ruin?"

"Since I was created, I have some control over the base."

Through understanding, Lin Feng also gradually understood what kind of existence the Destroyer was. It was a killing machine specially created by the third civilization. Moreover, it was extremely compatible with the Spear of Destruction. The third civilization had even created it in order to truly utilize the power within the Spear of Destruction.

Unfortunately, for some reason, they failed in the end, and the Destroyer was sealed. However, intelligence gradually developed in the program of the Destroyer. After billions of years, for some unknown reason, "consciousness" was born within it.

The Destroyer's intelligent program was even eager to become a real lifeform. This was how everything after came to pass.

Now, Longbetham took over the Destroyer's control core. It had already lost its intelligence, and was only a program that was completely under Lin Feng's command.

Perhaps after losing its intelligence, the Destroyer's strength would be much weaker, but there would no longer be any risk. It would completely obey Lin Feng's commands. With something gained and something loss, Lin Feng had obtained the greatest benefit.

Chapter 275: Combat Power of a Sage

"Stay here for now."

Lin Feng's body shrank rapidly, and finally turned into the appearance of an ordinary person. He flew directly to his second brother, Lin Hai.

"Second Brother."

"Third Brother."

Lin Hai was very thrilled, but looking at the motionless robot again, he was a little worried.

At this moment, the Hoarfrost King also flew over.

"Lin Feng, you subdued that robot?"

The Hoarfrost King was still a little hesitant.

"I have taken over its control core. It is currently under my command. The crisis is over."

Hearing Lin Feng's affirmative answer, those Metamorphic Realm martial artists could not help but clench their fists and laugh heartily. This calamity was finally resolved.

A smile also appeared on the Hoarfrost King's face, but he looked at the robot. It was comparable to an emperor-level demon. With Lin Feng added now, it might have the combat power of a Sage.

Would the military seize this robot by force?

The Hoarfrost King did not know, but he knew that this had already exceeded his authority. Even the Five-star Generals of the military were not qualified to deal with this matter.

Only the Nine Sages could handle this matter, but if they did not handle it well, things would probably get troublesome. After all, Lin Feng had the combat power of a Sage, and so did the robot.

But no matter what, now that the crisis had been resolved, humanity had finally avoided this calamity. It could be considered to have been nipped in the bud.

"Hoarfrost King, please send Second Brother back to the Brimstone Base first. I need to deal with the matters in the ruins again."

The Hoarfrost King nodded. Lin Hai was not stupid. He looked at the huge robot and then at the ruins that had already been reduced to ruins. Naturally, he had some guesses.

Lin Feng was no longer the sickly third brother who needed his protection in his memory. Instead, he had grown into a martial artist stronger than a Meta-divine Realm martial artist.

He might even be comparable to a Sage!

There were certain matters that Lin Feng would deal with himself.

"Third Brother, I'll wait for you at the Brimstone Base."

With that, Lin Hai and the others returned to the Brimstone Base under the lead of the Hoarfrost King.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not say anything else. Instead, he led the Destroyer back to the ruins. After all, although the ruins had been reduced to rubble, that was only the upper parts, and the truly important parts of the ruins were all underground.

This ruin was left behind by the third civilization. There were many good things inside. Lin Feng did not intend to let them go.

…

In the military command hall, the three Five-star Generals had already seen Lin Feng deal with the robot through the screen. However, the process was rather intriguing.

"General, the analysis results are out."

"Report!"

"General, according to the battle scene, we've analyzed that the combat power fluctuations between Lin Feng and the robot have already reached the level of a Sage. It's true to its name of having the combat power of a Sage! However, the spear in the robot's hand contains terrifying energy. That thrust from the robot had already severely injured Lin Feng."

"In the end, Lin Feng miraculously defeated the robot and even controlled it. We suspect that Lin Feng possesses methods similar to attack programs. He used a method similar to cyberattack to take over the robot's control program. Hence, the robot is now under Lin Feng's command."

The three Five-star Generals nodded. They all agreed with the analysis of the battle.

It seemed like the ancient civilization inheritance that Lin Feng had obtained was indeed extraordinary. There were even technological methods that could control that robot. If the military had controlled that robot, they might not be stretched so thin.

"General, can we ask Lin Feng for this robot?"

Someone suggested cautiously.

"We were the ones who discovered this ruin first, but we were also the ones who caused trouble first. In the end, Lin Feng came to clean up the mess. When Lin Feng was talking to the Hoarfrost King just now, he did not take the initiative to mention the robot and the ruins. Isn't his attitude obvious?"

No one was an idiot. The three Five-star Generals knew very well that Lin Feng was going to take over the ruins. All the benefits inside belonged to Lin Feng, and had nothing to do with the military.

In the past, when Lin Feng's strength was not yet so terrifying, perhaps the military would have utilized some non-conventional forceful methods. But now, Lin Feng had been analyzed to have the combat power of a Sage. Coupled with that robot, that would be the combat power of two Sages.

Hence, the military could do nothing to Lin Feng now.

"Report this to the Nine Sages. No matter what, this crisis has been resolved. Although the robots and ruins did not fall into the hands of our military faction, they are still in the hands of humanity. Perhaps Lin Feng will soon become the tenth Sage among us humanity…"

"The tenth Sage?"

Everyone in the command hall was shocked.

That's right. Lin Feng had displayed the combat power of a Sage. So what if he had not undergone four life transitions? Was he not a Sage?

With the combat power of a Sage and a robot comparable to an emperor-level demon, Lin Feng was completely qualified to become the tenth Sage of humanity!

Of course, all of this could only be decided by the Nine Sages.

Hence, the three Five-star Generals jointly reported the matter regarding Lin Feng and the robot to the Nine Sages.

…

In the ruins of the seventh civilization, after researchers constantly investigated the situation in the ruins of the seventh civilization, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi had already obtained rather important news.

The seventh civilization was destroyed by an external force!

How terrifying must an external force be to destroy a civilization? Moreover, the seventh civilization was not a weak civilization at all. It was even stronger than the current human civilization.

This news shocked Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi. They had excavated other ancient ruins in the past and even obtained similar news.

"These ancient civilizations that were once powerful have all been destroyed. I wonder when the end of our human civilization lies?"

Sage Kang also looked like he had aged a lot. As the first Sage of humanity called The Pioneer, Sage Kang was whole-heartedly dedicated to the development of humanity.

But now, he seemed to have lost his essence, energy, and spirit. He felt that no matter how hard he tried, it all seemed so futile.

How great would it be if a tenth Sage could be born in human society?

At that time, humanity would not have to be so passive at all. A Sage was enough to change the entire human world, especially now that humanity was developing at an advanced level. An additional Sage could completely change the entire human race.

Unfortunately, after so many years, many geniuses that Sage Kang thought highly of were all stuck at three life transitions. There was no sign of anyone undergoing four life transitions at all, so naturally, no new Sage appeared.

Perhaps there was hope for Dongfang Sheng, but time was needed, and it might still be a very long time. What humanity lacked the most now was time.

"Sage Kang, look at your communicator. There's good news—wonderful news!"

Suddenly, Sage Yuanyi's face was filled with ecstasy. He appeared exhilarated. The dignified Sage actually danced like a child.

Chapter 276: Robot Army

"Yuanyi, what good news can make you so excited?" Sage Kang asked in surprise. At the same time, he picked up his communicator.

When he saw the message on the communicator, Sage Kang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Lin Feng has the combat power of a Sage? And he has controlled a robot comparable to a demon emperor, making it equivalent to the combat power of two Sages?"

Sage Kang looked at the message on his communicator. Even a reputable Sage like him could not help but feel excited. The tenth Sage he had been looking forward to day and night had been born, just like that?

"Sage Kang, haha, we really searched high and low only to find what we're looking for without any effort. What kind of ancient civilization legacy did the little fellow from back then obtain, that he could actually attain the combat power of a Sage with only a second life transition? It's unbelievable."

Sage Yuanyi clicked his tongue in praise. As a Sage, he was very happy that there was an additional Sage in human society. This way, the pressure on the Nine Sages would be greatly alleviated.

"Second life transition… Classify Lin Feng's information immediately as top secret. Only the Nine Sages are authorized to view it. Also, immediately hold a Conference of Sages in the name of you and I to discuss the matter of Lin Feng being the tenth Sage!"

"Sage Kang, aren't you rushing things a little? We still need to confirm this matter personally…"

"The military's news wouldn't be wrong. Moreover, if it's possible to attain the combat power of a Sage after a second life transition, we must be on guard. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be people who are tempted among the Nine Sages. There's even the Night Devil Organization, which has always been hidden in the dark like a malignant tumor. How can they not be tempted? The combat power of a Sage sounds terrifying, but once those people go berserk, there's nothing they won't resort to. We have to establish Lin Feng's status as a Sage immediately. When the time comes, even if someone wants to make a move, they'll have to consider if it's worth facing the wrath of the other Nine Sages!"

Although Sage Kang was also very excited, he was also very calm. He was the oldest of the Nine Sages and the first Sage. He had climbed to the peak step by step in a chaotic era.

Hence, he naturally knew how terrible human nature was. Sometimes, some people would do anything just for a little benefit for themselves!

He had to confirm the status of the tenth Sage for Lin Feng immediately. This would be the overall momentum!

With the overall momentum, Lin Feng would be a Sage, the patron saint of humanity. Who would dare to make a move against him?

Sage Yuanyi nodded, and immediately prepared to hold the Conference of Sages.

…

Lin Feng did not know that after he unleashed the full strength of the Tidal Combat Body, fought with the robot, and was confirmed to have the combat power of a Sage, he had already attracted the attention of various factions.

A storm was even vaguely brewing with Lin Feng as the epicenter.

Lin Feng was leading the Destroyer into the ruins now, but he realized that the Destroyer was simply too massive. It could not enter the ruins at all.

"Can't you shrink your size?"

"Master, I cannot shrink my entire body."

"If it cannot shrink its size, it won't be able to enter the ruins. That would be troublesome."

Lin Feng was in a difficult position. He wanted to enter the ruins, so he naturally wanted to check everything inside. It would be best if he could find energy, so that he could cultivate the Tidal Combat Body back to more than 200 meters.

"Master, you can bring part of my program into the ruins. I can also answer all your questions, Master."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this what Longbetham was like? It seemed like the artificial intelligence born in the Destroyer was indeed about to evolve into a mechanical lifeform. The Destroyer even had methods similar to Longbetham's.

Lin Feng held the communicator and said, "Does this work?"

"Yes."

Hence, a segment of the Destroyer's program entered the communicator. Lin Feng tested it casually. It was actually very different from Longbetham.

Longbetham could think for itself and speak in Lin Feng's mind. The Destroyer's program, on the other hand, could not. It was methodical and appeared a little rigid.

With the Destroyer's program, Lin Feng entered the underground ruins.

The surface of the ruins had already been completely reduced to rubbles. On the other hand, although some of the underground sections were also damaged, most of them were still intact.

Lin Feng entered the underground ruins very easily this time. With the Destroyer "leading the way", Lin Feng knew the underground parts of the ruins almost like the back of his hand.

"Master, this is the armory! More than 200,000 armed robots are stored inside. There are also materials and energy that can quickly produce at least 300,000 armed robots."

"In other words, if I create these robots at full force, I can possess 500,000 robots that obey my commands completely?"

Lin Feng was very shocked. There were 500,000 robots. These robots were not ordinary dire beasts. According to the strength displayed by these robots, although a robot could not compare to a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, in terms of attack power, these robots were not inferior at all.

Even if five robots were comparable to a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, once Lin Feng grasped this power, that would be equivalent to 100,000 Metamorphic Realm martial artists. What kind of concept was that?

At least, among the five major factions, no single faction could compare to this force belonging to Lin Feng.

"The third civilization truly is terrifying…"

Lin Feng had another direct understanding of the third civilization.

According to Longbetham, there were a total of nine civilizations, and almost every time, each was weaker than its predecessor. That was because there was a gap for each civilization. If they failed to develop well, they would be far inferior to the previous civilization.

Human civilization in the present was the weakest civilization for the time being. In the past, Lin Feng still did not quite believe it, but after encountering the ruins of the seventh and third civilizations in succession, he gradually began to believe it.

Although the human world was presided over by the Nine Sages, and human society was thriving, it was still far inferior to the previous eight ancient civilizations.

If human society could obtain the essence of civilization from the first eight civilizations, and absorb and convert the essence of these civilizations, perhaps then, it could surpass those ancient civilizations.

And it was indeed what the Nine Sages were doing now.

"I can control all these robots?"

"Master, they will obey my commands, and I will obey any command from you."

Lin Feng understood now. Through this Destroyer robot, he could control all the robots in the ruins. He must hold the reins to such a powerful force.

This was also why Lin Feng sent the Hoarfrost King and the others away and did not suggest letting the military interfere at all. It was because he wanted to control all the power in the ruins.

Once he controlled this power, even by himself, with the Destroyer and so many armed robots, Lin Feng would be comparable to any large faction, and could be even stronger than any of the five major factions.

Perhaps in terms of high-end combat power, Lin Feng was weaker than the academic faction. After all, the academic faction had three Sages presiding over it. However, in terms of overall combat power, Lin Feng's robot army would have nothing to fear from any faction.

Chapter 277: 260-meter Combat Body

Looking at the "slumbering" robot army in the cabin, Lin Feng was also overwhelmed with emotions. This was an army that belonged to him, and also a faction that completely belonged to him!

In fact, Lin Feng had thought about it before. If he became a Sage in the future, how would he gain a foothold in this world? Would he join the five major factions, or would he establish another faction?

In the past, Lin Feng had gone with the flow and only wanted to increase his strength. He had never actually considered establishing a faction. After all, it was too much trouble.

However, it was different now. He could rely on the robot army in this ruin. With subordinates and martial strength not inferior to the five major factions, he could establish his own faction.

In the past, Lin Feng practiced martial arts for himself. Now, although it was also for himself, it was also for his family, friends, and the people he loved.

Sometimes, having a powerful force in one's hands was far more intimidating than one's own strength.

"By the way, with so many robots, you probably need a lot of energy, right? How do you replenish energy?"

What Lin Feng was most concerned about was energy. This was also because he's experienced its benefits. Last time, Lin Feng was brought to the ruins left behind by the seventh civilization by Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi. He devoured a large amount of energy and successfully cultivated the Tidal Combat Body.

However, from now on, it would be very difficult for Lin Feng to encounter so much energy again.

After entering the ruins of the third civilization, Lin Feng had also sustained heavy losses. He needed a large amount of energy to cultivate the Tidal Combat Body.

"This is the armory, which stores a large amount of energy. Moreover, every robot actually carries an energy converter that can convert a certain amount of energy. In reality, there is not much energy that needs to be replenished. Moreover, there is a large energy converter in the ruins, so there is no lack of energy at all."

"A large energy converter? Show me the area."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. There was really energy. Moreover, he really wanted to see how miraculous the large energy converter the Destroyer had mentioned was.

Soon, under the lead of the Destroyer, Lin Feng entered the depths of the underground. There were a large number of robots there, and some special metals. They must be the metal used to manufacture these armed robots.

In the huge underground hall, something that looked like an ancient cauldron appeared in the hall. There were many pipes on it, and something was being transported continuously from the inside.

However, there was more of the various energies descending from the huge transparent skylight. Lin Feng could sense star power, but there was not just star power.

There was a very complicated energy conversion system in the cauldron that could rapidly convert a large amount of energy. It was far more advanced than the energy factory of the seventh civilization.

"Destroyer, introduce this energy conversion system to me. What exactly can it convert into pure energy?"

"Master, the conversion rate of this energy conversion system is already extremely high. It can convert star power and cosmic rays. It can also convert some natural things on planets, such as ores, but the conversion rate is lower."

"There are also dire beasts. The stronger the dire beast, the more energy it can convert. Many armed robots are deployed to kill those dire beasts to convert them into energy."

Lin Feng was shocked. The third civilization could actually capture dire beasts and convert them into energy. Did that mean that they had completely subdued those dire beasts?

"Can your third civilization deal with all the dire beasts?"

"Information incomplete. Unable to answer Master's question. However, according to the records of the energy system, many dire beasts were indeed transformed, including dire beasts comparable to three life transitions."

Lin Feng nodded. Being comparable to three life transitions meant the Meta-divine Realm. Those were demon kings!

Even demon kings could be converted by the energy system. The technology of the third civilization was indeed much more powerful than the seventh civilization. Just this energy conversion system alone was much more advanced.

With this system, Lin Feng could even specially hunt dire beasts in the future to convert energy. The massive amount of energy required for the third life transition in the future might be resolved.

"Take me to the energy warehouse."

With the Destroyer leading the way, Lin Feng quickly arrived at the energy warehouse. This energy warehouse was simply too huge, and there was indeed a large amount of energy stored inside.

This much energy was originally meant for creating an army of 300,000 robots. The amount of energy used was naturally huge.

Lin Feng did not need so many robots for the time being. This energy could be used to cultivate the Tidal Combat Body. Never mind cultivating the combat body to 200 meters again, even improving it further would be simple.

It was even enough for the third life transition.

The energy warehouse was a little cramped. Lin Feng simply got the Destroyer to order the robots to move a large amount of energy modules to the ground.

Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body. With a 150-meter Tidal Combat Body, even Lin Feng felt a little "weak".

However, with sufficient energy, he had nothing to worry about.

Boom.

Lin Feng circulated the Tidal Combat Body. It was as if he had transformed into a black hole. The surrounding energy modules were shattered one after another, and a large amount of pure energy was devoured by Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body.

Then, the cells continued to divide, divide, and divide again. The cells in Lin Feng's body seemed to have been starved for a few days as they devoured in a frenzy. As every cell was filled with energy, it rapidly divided.

Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body expanded again.

A hundred and fifty meters, a hundred and sixty meters, a hundred and seventy meters, a hundred and eighty meters…

In just an hour, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body had already reached 200 meters again, but this was not the end. More than a hundred robots were constantly transporting energy modules to Lin Feng's side.

Two hundred meters, two hundred and ten meters, two hundred and twenty meters…

Since he had sufficient energy, Lin Feng was naturally fearless. He also wanted to see the limit of the Tidal Combat Body. In the past, Lin Feng's limit was 200 meters, but recently, as he became more and more familiar with the Tidal Combat Body, he realized that the limit of the Tidal Combat Body could still be expanded.

In the end, after Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body expanded to 260 meters, it could no longer expand. Lin Feng could clearly feel that his body seemed to be "full". Every inch of his body and every cell was filled with power.

Swoosh.

The Spear of Destruction that was more than ten meters long appeared in Lin Feng's hand. Even though he was grasping the Spear of Destruction in his hand, he could still feel a devastating power within it, violent and uncontrollable.

Perhaps that was the annihilative power!

"Longbetham, it's about time you explain the Spear of Destruction."

Lin Feng's expression was solemn. Since obtaining the Spear of Destruction, Longbetham had been vague. Lin Feng could only suspect that there was a lot more to this Spear of Destruction.

Chapter 278: Origin Weapon

Lin Feng had been waiting for Longbetham's explanation.

Actually, having obtained the Spear of Destruction for some time, although Lin Feng did not study it in detail, he more or less had some understanding.

Although the Spear of Destruction seemed to be able to unleash extreme power in the hands of the Destroyer, in Lin Feng's hands, it was like an ordinary spear that had lost its "magic".

Lin Feng could sense the "annihilative power" in the Spear of Destruction, but he could not utilize it. Even when Lin Feng used his combat body and specially took time to convert a little Astral Power, utilizing Astral Power had no effect.

Hence, Lin Feng needed Longbetham's explanation. Longbetham must know some detailed information about the Spear of Destruction. Otherwise, it would not take the Spear of Destruction so seriously.

After a long time, Longbetham, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.

"I would have told you about this sooner or later, but I am not very clear about the origins of the Spear of Destruction either. When I descended into your world, it happened to be the end of the second civilization. I had seen this Spear of Destruction then.

"In the legends of the second civilization, it was the weapon of the ancient God King of Destruction. The God King of the second civilization did not refer to Meta-divine martial artists, but a great entity with five life transitions! I observed the second civilization for a long time. Even their strongest was at four life transitions. As for those with five life transitions, afterwards, from the third civilization to your ninth civilization, I have never seen them.

"I even wondered if a great lifeform that had undergone five life transitions had ever been born in your world. After all, that was already very close to a planetary lifeform. It was not until I saw the Spear of Destruction for the first time that the annihilative power within affirmed it for me: a great entity that had undergone five life transitions must have been born in your world. Moreover, some clues indicate that a great entity that had undergone five life transitions had only appeared in the first civilization.

"The reason the Spear of Destruction is so important is actually its annihilative power. This should not belong to a native planet and completely sealed planet, for this is entirely a power under the cosmic cultivation system! The first civilization of your world might have obtained the cosmic cultivation system before. However, after the first civilization was destroyed, the cosmic cultivation system was also lost, leaving only Origin Weapons like the Spear of Destruction."

Longbetham told Lin Feng everything it knew in detail. It turned out that such an extraordinary secret was hidden in the nine civilizations.

Even Longbetham did not know about the first civilization. Moreover, it might have given birth to an expert with five life transitions, a great lifeform under the cosmic cultivation system.

Just the thought of it was incredible, but no matter how incredible it was, evidence remained.

For example, what was with the Canopy that had always enveloped this planet? Even lifeforms with five life transitions probably wouldn't be able to set up a Canopy that enveloped the entire planet.

Since there was a Canopy, what was so strange about the first civilization having lifeforms under the cosmic cultivation system?

"Longbetham, you call this Spear of Destruction an Origin Weapon. What is an Origin Weapon?"

The distant history was too ancient. Humanity had probably yet to find anything about the first civilization up till now. To Lin Feng, the first civilization was too distant.

Whatever the secrets of the first civilization, at least they were not directly related to Lin Feng in the present.

Lin Feng only wanted to learn about the Spear of Destruction!

"You can take Origin Weapons as weapons that only those under the cosmic cultivation system can forge. Some great planetary lifeforms or galactic lifeforms can extract certain kinds of power from planets. For example, the annihilative power might very well be Origin Power extracted from a star by a great planetary lifeform.

"Imagine how terrifying the force of a collapsing star is. That instantaneous annihilative power is sufficient to form a cosmic catastrophe. This Spear of Destruction contains the power of Annihilative Origin. Hence, this is a genuine Origin Weapon! Moreover, it's a very formidable Origin Weapon."

Lin Feng stroked the Spear of Destruction gently. He did not expect this seemingly ordinary Spear of Destruction to have such a powerful source, and that it was even an Origin Weapon.

No wonder the destructive power in the Spear of Destruction could easily annihilate Lin Feng's combat body. It turned out that this was the weapon of those planetary lifeforms in the universe.

If a planetary lifeform wielded the Spear of Destruction, it could even kill another planetary lifeform.

"But why can't I use the Spear of Destruction?"

After Lin Feng learned of the origins of this Spear of Destruction, he also became reluctant to part with it.

"That's because you have yet to completely fuse the Spear of Destruction. It would be strange if you could unleash the power of the Spear of Destruction. Not everyone can use an Origin Weapon. When the third civilization obtained the Spear of Destruction, they tried everything they could. In the end, they could only use some technological power to slightly utilize the annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction, and create the Light of Destruction."

"You've already experienced the power of the Light of Destruction, but that power is far inferior to the Spear of Destruction. The Destroyer gave birth to the artificial intelligence. It was very clever and actually knows how to fuse the Spear of Destruction. Fortunately, it did not succeed in fusing it. Otherwise, your human civilization would really be in trouble."

Lin Feng frowned and continued to ask, "Then, how should I fuse the Spear of Destruction?"

"The Spear of Destruction contains the power of the Annihilative Origin. That's the annihilative power of a collapsing star. It can destroy everything, and is very terrifying. This kind of Origin Weapon is very vicious, even by the standards of the universe. Once it cannot be controlled, the consequences are unimaginable. Even the Destroyer before did not truly fuse the Spear of Destruction. It only used a special method to temporarily fuse it and borrow a little of the Spear of Destruction's power."

"If you want to completely fuse the Spear of Destruction, there is only one way. You must comprehend the Annihilative Origin in the Spear of Destruction bit by bit. That is all the power that erupts when a star collapses. If you can comprehend it, it will be very helpful for when you undergo six life transitions and become a planetary lifeform in the future."

Lin Feng was still a little confused. How could he fuse the Spear of Destruction just by comprehending the Annihilative Origin?

"Longbetham, tell me how to fuse the Spear of Destruction."

"There is no shortcut. Forcefully use your combat body to fuse it, and allow your combat body to adapt to the Annihilative Origin. Eventually, you can naturally fuse the Spear of Destruction. Among them, comprehending the Annihilative Origin is the key. If you can't comprehend it, you can forget about fusing the Spear of Destruction for the rest of your life."

Lin Feng pondered. It seemed like the fusion of the Spear of Destruction was not that easy.

"Annihilative Origin…"

Lin Feng had learned the fusion method for the Spear of Destruction. No matter how difficult it was, he had to try it himself.

Chapter 279: The Tenth Sage!

In the conference room of the Supreme Commanders' Department, tensions were running high in the Conference of Sages jointly convened by Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi.

The Nine Sages all cast their projections to participate in this Conference of Sages, and everyone's expression was very solemn.

"Sage Kang, why did you hold the Conference of Sages with Sage Yuanyi?"

"For the matter regarding Lin Feng reported by the military, of course."

Sage Kang glanced at the other eight Sages slightly, then said in a solemn tone, "Lin Feng from the academic faction is currently the Legate of Central Sea City. He was involved in the military operation because his brother, Lin Hai, participated in the military's Wall Breaker Operation. He resolved the calamity triggered by the military with unstoppable force."

"Two Sages of the military faction, do you have anything to correct?"

The two Sages of the military faction were Sage Zhou Tianqi and Sage Palman. Both of them shook their heads. They evidently had a clear idea about this matter. After all, the Five-star Generals of the military would definitely prioritize reporting to the two Sages of the military faction.

"Sage Kang, you're right. It was originally a calamity that was induced by the military. Fortunately, Lin Feng intervened and resolved this calamity." Sage Zhou Tianqi said.

"Everyone should have already learned about the news from the military. Lin Feng already possesses the combat power of a Sage! Moreover, he controls a robot which also has the combat power of a Sage. Hence, I propose to promote Lin Feng to the tenth Sage of humanity!"

As soon as Sage Kang finished speaking, many Sages present appeared very surprised.

It was true that Lin Feng had the combat power of a Sage, but there was no need to be in such a hurry, right? Back when they had undergone four life transitions, it also took a period of time for them to be ranked as Sages.

At this moment, Sage Batai from the consortium faction said worriedly, "Sage Kang, there's no need to rush things, right? Never mind whether Lin Feng has the combat power of a Sage, even if he does, we still need to verify it. Moreover, the Nine Sages have all undergone four life transitions before we can be ranked as Sages. Lin Feng has only undergone two life transitions, so it's a little inappropriate for him to be ranked as a Sage."

In reality, Sage Batai's words also represented the opinions of some other Sages.

"I think so too. We have to verify it first, then discuss whether we should let Lin Feng, who has undergone a second life transition, become a Sage. After all, the position of Sage is very important. It's the pillar of humanity. We can't be rash."

The one who spoke was Sage Claus from the government faction. Although Sage Kang was also a Sage from the government faction, the two Sages actually had different opinions on some matters.

"What do we need to verify? Could those videos and information be fake? If any Sage disagrees, they can spar with Lin Feng. Heh, what's so special about the title of Sage? Strength is the most important thing! I agree to make Lin Feng the tenth Sage!"

The Invincible Fist Sage spoke directly. He was straightforward and did not mince his words. Moreover, Lin Feng was a student of the Myriad Academy and had joined the academic faction. Once he became the tenth Sage, he would definitely be a Sage of the academic faction.

That way, the academic faction would have four Sages, and could steadily become the number one faction among the five major factions.

Moreover, he liked Lin Feng very much. He had watched Lin Feng grow almost the whole way. Even the appointment as the Legate of Central Sea was personally decided by the Invincible Fist Sage.

Although it was a little incredible that Lin Feng had the combat power of a Sage after his second life transition, the Invincible Fist Sage knew that it was possible for some ancient civilization legacies to accomplish this.

Be it for public or personal reasons, the Invincible Fist Sage would support Lin Feng!

"I also don't think we should stick so rigidly to rules and regulations. When we became Sages back then, there weren't so many rules and regulations, either. Now is a critical time for humanity. The nine of us cannot spare any time. Having one more Sage will alleviate our burden. Why not? I also agree to Lin Feng becoming the tenth Sage."

Immediately after, Sage Bingyu and Sage Claus also expressed agreement. The Sages of the three major academies had always stuck together. There was no reason for them not to support Lin Feng.

Sage Kang waved his hand, and an image appeared on the projector. It was the battle between Lin Feng and the giant destructive robot.

"Everyone, this is Lin Feng's battle scene. Do you think Lin Feng has the combat power of a Sage? This has been confirmed by various analyses by the military. There shouldn't be any problems. We can skip the step of verification."

Indeed, looking at Lin Feng's battle scene, even the Nine Sages had solemn expressions. In fact, they were not certain they could win against that destructive robot.

However, there was no doubt that it was definitely at the level of a demon emperor, and demon emperors corresponded to the combat power of Sages!

"If we can confirm that Lin Feng's combat strength is on par with a Sage, then there's only one last point of debate left. Can Lin Feng be ranked as a Sage in his second life transition?"

All the Sages nodded. Indeed, this was very important. The standard had to be established. After all, Sages controlled the authority of human society and had access to many resources. Every Sage had an extremely powerful faction behind them.

If the standard was not established, it might be very troublesome for new Sages that emerged in the future, and the human society would be in chaos.

"Back when I established the Supreme Commander's Department, I actually wanted to centralize power and the resources of all humanity to reduce internal consumption. After all, we humans do not actually have the advantage in the vast world. In terms of numbers, we humans are far inferior to those dire beasts. In terms of top-notch combat power, those demon emperors are not inferior to us, either. There might even be terrifying entities that surpass demon emperors. We humans have no advantage here.

"Our only advantage is unity! With the Nine Sages, we can unite all humans! Later, a second Sage and a third appeared, and eventually, the number of Sages even gradually reached nine. The Supreme Commanders' Department gradually became an organization controlled by the Nine Sages.

"Once there are more people, there will naturally be debates and demands for benefits. It's all normal. However, as the pillars of humanity, the strongest martial artists should prioritize the greater picture! What are Sages? It's just a title. If you address four life transitions as Sage, why isn't it possible to address two life transitions as Sage? As long as he has the strength, why can't he have the authority?

"If Lin Feng has the strength of a Sage, but can't obtain the corresponding authority, what would he think? If someone like Lin Feng emerges in the future, what will they think? Wouldn't this impede the path of advancement for martial artists?

"This kind of ostracism must never happen! Otherwise, what's the difference between us and those feudal dynasties in ancient times? The path of advancement must be unimpeded. As long as one has the strength of a Sage, they are a Sage, and should wield the corresponding authority!"

Sage Kang's heartfelt words moved all the Sages.

The first Sage of humanity, Sage Kang, was known as The Pioneer. Although he was not the strongest of the Nine Sages, he was the most respected Sage. He was also a Sage who was completely dedicated to humanity!

Sage Kang's words were actually a little blunt. They were a wake-up call to the other Sages!

The Nine Sages had held the highest authority over humanity for too long, so long that many took it for granted, and began to think of ways to exclude other martial artists from this highest authority.

Lin Feng's matter was a touchstone. Sage Kang was also determined to use this matter to "warn" all the Sages.

"That's right. Elder Kang is right. We've been in power for too long. There are some things that shouldn't be stopped anymore. I agree to appoint Lin Feng as the tenth Sage immediately, and the five major factions will announce it to all of humanity promptly!"

Sage Yuanyi spoke. He did not usually speak, but he was very influential among Sages as well. His strength could even be ranked in the top three among Sages.

"The usual rules, then. Let's raise our hands for a vote."

Sage Kang glanced at the other eight Sages and said calmly.

"I concur."

"I concur."

"Concurred."

Sage Kang was the first to raise his hand in concurrence. Then, Sage Yuanyi, the Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Cass, and Sage Bingyu all concurred.

Then, Sage Zhou Tianqi and Sage Parman from the military faction slowly raised their hands in concurrence.

With seven Sages already in agreement, Sage Batai from the consortium faction and Sage Claus from the government faction looked at each other, and could only raise their hands in the end.

All Nine Sages concurred!

At the Conference of Sages, the Nine Sages' decision was immediately sent to the five major factions. There was only one message.

Congratulations on the birth of the tenth Sage of humanity—Sage Lin Feng!

Chapter 280: Sage Lin Feng!

In the Lin family, Mr. and Mrs. Lin had been a little worried for the past few days.

Their second son, Lin Hai, had died just like that. How could they not grieve? However, before they could catch their breath, Lin Feng had left again. It was unknown if he was dead or alive. For a moment, the Lin family villa was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere.

"Why don't I call Lin Feng's communicator again?" Mrs. Lin could no longer hold it in.

"Don't call! Feng'er is now the Legate. He naturally knows what to do and what not to do. Since he has already made his decision, let him do it. We all should support him, instead of distracting him."

Mr. Lin could still maintain his composure, but his hands were trembling slightly, which meant that he was not that calm either.

His second son was dead. If anything happened to Lin Feng, the Lin family's temporary glory would be like a flash in the pan. It would probably collapse in an instant, and the Lin family would fall back to its original state.

However, Mr. Lin still did not stop Lin Feng. He believed in Lin Feng!

"Eh? Why are there no more images on the television?"

Lin Qian, who was watching television in the living room, suddenly realized that all the television stations had gone silent.

Not long after, the image appeared on the television again. However, there were two well-dressed hosts.

"A message is being broadcast. The Nine Sages have jointly signed the order to congratulate the birth of the tenth Sage of humanity—Sage Lin Feng!"

Seeing this message, Lin Qian was stunned. Sage. How could she not know about Sages?

Almost everyone in human society knew about Sages. The Nine Sages were the pillars of humanity, and there had always been nine Sages. What did this mean? The tenth Sage had emerged?

Moreover, it was Lin Feng. Could it be someone with the same name?

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, come and watch this news…"

Lin Qian hurriedly called Mr. and Mrs. Lin and Big Brother in.

All the information about the tenth Sage, Sage Lin Feng, began to appear on the television screen.

Sage Lin Feng was born in Central Sea. He had a strange illness since he was young and was diagnosed with atypical organ failure. He did not have long to live…

After entering the Myriad Academy, he took the initiative to apply to be deployed to the Dragon Mountain Base at the frontline…

In the battle of Dragonlith City, Sage Lin Feng turned the tide and defeated the Screwworm attack. He made outstanding contributions and was awarded the Hero of Humanity Medal…

Sage Lin Feng caused a stir in Stone City, sweeping away some maladministration regarding martial artists, and facilitated the implementation of the new policy for martial artists…

Sage Lin Feng entered the South Mountain Base and fought with the dire beasts. Later, he became the Legate of Central Sea City. Due to the death of his second brother, Lin Hai, he went to the Outland, and encountered a calamity for humanity. Sage Lin Feng turned the tide once more and stopped the emergence of this calamity…

Almost everything on the television screen was detailed introductions on Lin Feng since he was young, the battle in Dragonlith City, and the scene of Lin Feng causing a stir in Stone City.

More importantly, in the end, there was a scene of Lin Feng transforming into a 200-meter-tall giant and fighting a 100-meter giant robot. The tension could be felt even through the television.

A calamity. This was a true calamity. Looking at the densely packed robots on the television screen, everyone felt their scalps tingle.

It turned out that unknowingly, humanity had already encountered a calamity, and was saved by Lin Feng in the end. Most people still knew nothing about it.

"Feng'er is alive…"

Mrs. Lin could finally heave a sigh of relief. Looking at the densely packed robots and the giant robot, she felt terrified.

"Not only is he not dead, he has also become a Sage! The tenth Sage! He's more than just a true dragon from the Lin family. He's simply… a divine dragon!"

Mr. Lin was in high spirits. Even though he had dominated the business world, he did not know what to say, let alone how to express the excitement in his heart.

Sages, high and mighty Sages. From now on, the Lin family was one of the top families in the entire world!

Previously, the Lin family did not even dare to think about such a thing.

Lin Yong was also dumbfounded. He muttered in a low voice, "He was still the Legate two days ago, and now he's a Sage? I'm the big brother of a Sage?"

It was no wonder that Lin Yong could not believe it. This was too shocking and unbelievable. He could accept Lin Feng becoming a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, accept Lin Feng becoming the Legate, and even accept that Lin Feng was a Meta-divine Realm martial artist.

But a Sage?

This leap seemed too great, so great that even Lin Yong could not comprehend it.

However, no matter how the Lin family understood it, the major media outlets had already publicized it overwhelmingly. The Nine Sages had already confirmed that without a doubt, Lin Feng would be the tenth Sage of humanity from now on—Sage Lin Feng!

Not only were the Lin family shocked, when almost all the television stations and media announced this news, the entire human world erupted completely. Like a whirlwind, everyone was cheering.

Sage, the tenth Sage!

Even though some people found it unbelievable, and some people found it suspicious, the birth of the tenth Sage meant too much to humanity. Ever since the ninth Sage was born, it had been decades since a Sage had been born to humanity.

Some people even claimed that a tenth Sage might not be born in a hundred years.

And now, the tenth Sage had been born. Although it was very unexpected, it was actually the genius Lin Feng who had performed excellently in the Global Martial Arts Competition and amazed the world with a single feat.

How long had it been? Yet he had already become the tenth Sage, Sage Lin Feng!

Lin Feng's deeds were also discussed enthusiastically. Just like the other Nine Sages, many of his deeds had become legends now, and so did Lin Feng himself.

His past deeds, such as the battle in Dragonlith City, causing a stir in Stone City, and so on, had all become legends.

The video that had the greatest impact was the final battle between Lin Feng and the giant robot. It was filmed by the military and agreed to be publicized by the Nine Sages. This was also to create the image of Lin Feng as a "hero" and "legend".

Every Sage had a positive image in the eyes of humanity, and so did Lin Feng.

In the battle with the giant robot, everyone could see that Lin Feng was going all out. However, in the end, Lin Feng won. With such an overall momentum, almost no one doubted that Lin Feng would become the tenth Sage of humanity.

Of course, the fact that Lin Feng became a Sage after his second life transition was selectively concealed. All the information regarding Lin Feng became top secret. Apart from the Nine Sages, no one had the right to check Lin Feng's information.

Hence, some martial artists were skeptical. They all suspected that Lin Feng had not attained four life transitions, but this did not affect the overall situation at all. Under the media's publicity, in a short period of time, the entire world was celebrating the birth of the tenth Sage in the human world.

Myriad Academy, Central Sea University, Dragon Mountain Base, South Mountain Base, North Mountain Base, Polar City…

Wherever Lin Feng had been, anyone who was acquainted with Lin Feng before fell into a frenzy. They would proudly brag to others that they had been acquainted with Lin Feng before.

Qu Chen from the Polar Academy was also dumbfounded when she heard this news. Her roommates and best friends were also stunned. They had thought that previously, Lin Feng was already outstanding enough to be able to obtain the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition.

But now, Lin Feng had become a Sage, one of the ten most influential people globally, and stood at the peak of the world. Even Qu Chen felt a little dazed and unfamiliar with such a person.

Was Sage Lin Feng really the Lin Feng she knew?

Chapter 281: Fusing the Spear of Destruction

"Fusing the Spear of Destruction requires comprehending the power of annihilative origin? That's really a little troublesome…"

Lin Feng frowned. He did not know much about annihilative power, let alone comprehend it. Since he could not comprehend the annihilative power for the time being, he would try to see if he could forcefully fuse the Spear of Destruction first.

Hence, Lin Feng suddenly grabbed the Spear of Destruction. A huge hole appeared in his chest, but no blood flowed out. It was formed by Lin Feng changing the arrangement of his cells.

"Fuse!"

Lin Feng raised the Spear of Destruction high and gently inserted it into the huge hole in his chest.

Boom.

Lin Feng's entire body shook. He had never been able to mobilize the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction, but when it entered his combat body, the annihilative power erupted.

Although there was only a little annihilative power, it was rapidly destroying Lin Feng's combat body cells.

Countless cells were annihilated. At this speed, Lin Feng would even be severely injured.

"Destroyer, continue to transport energy modules to me!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. Since there was annihilative power, this meant that his fusion method was correct. He could not comprehend the annihilative power for the time being, so he could only forcibly fuse it.

The consequences of forcefully fusion were as such. In an instant, the countless cells in his combat body were annihilated. Lin Feng's entire body seemed to have shrunk, visible even to the naked eye.

However, Lin Feng did not give up. His combat body shook, shattering the surrounding energy modules. Then, he quickly absorbed a large amount of raw energy. The cells of his combat body began to divide again, quickly replenishing the destroyed cells.

This was too wasteful of energy, but this was the best method he had to fuse the Spear of Destruction.

As time passed, hundreds of robots were constantly transporting a large number of energy modules. Only Lin Feng, who had taken over this ruin, could "waste" so much energy at will.

Although it was the dumbest and crudest method, it indeed showed effect. Lin Feng's chest had already gradually devoured the Spear of Destruction completely. The Spear of Destruction constantly emitted traces of annihilative power, and was no longer as vicious. Even Lin Feng's cells could completely envelop the Spear of Destruction.

The annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction allowed Lin Feng to clearly sense that the power that was completely alien from any Astral Power, martial arts, and so on. It was an entirely different kind of power. This was the origin!

Every planet contained Origin Power. Only some powerful lifeforms above the planetary level could extract the Origin Power in the planet, and use it to forge all kinds of Origin Weapons.

When these Origin Weapons erupted at full force, they could easily destroy the world and set off a terrifying cosmic storm in the cosmos. With a single strike, planets would shatter, and even great planetary lifeforms might be killed.

It was precisely because Origin Weapons were so terrifying that Lin Feng wanted to fuse this Spear of Destruction so much.

Time passed slowly. As Lin Feng continued to adapt to the annihilative power, he analyzed the annihilative power. It was as if a blazing star had appeared in his mind, constantly emitting a terrifying heat. The moment it collapsed, the power erupted with a bang.

Perhaps that was the annihilative power!

Moreover, Lin Feng had practiced the Void Bubble before. The principle was also to imitate the collapse of a star, which was somewhat similar to the annihilative power. However, the Void Bubble imitated the process of collapse, while the annihilative power was the power when a star collapsed.

Sensing the traces of annihilative power, Lin Feng was shocked.

The power of the cosmos was simply beyond Lin Feng's imagination. He suddenly felt that even though he had undergone a second life transition and cultivated the combat body, he was so insignificant in the vast universe.

If he really encountered the collapse of a star, even a billionth of its power was enough to kill Lin Feng ten thousand times over.

As Lin Feng comprehended the annihilative power, the consumption of his combat body cells also decreased. It seemed like the cells of his combat body already had some resistance.

There was no actual force of resistance. It was because Lin Feng had learned something about annihilative power and begun to comprehend it that he could resist the annihilative power a little.

Combat body cells also had regenerative abilities. When Lin Feng's cells could recover on their own and formed a balance with the annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction, Lin Feng did not need much energy anymore.

Just a small energy module was enough for Lin Feng to maintain the balance of his body for a few years. Hence, Lin Feng had basically "fused" the Spear of Destruction.

Of course, this was only a temporary "fusion". It could only allow the Spear of Destruction to stay in his combat body. As for utilizing the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction, Lin Feng could not do it at all at this stage.

However, Lin Feng had time. He could slowly comprehend the annihilative power. Once he had a deeper understanding of the annihilative power, he could attempt using the Spear of Destruction.

Only then would this terrifying Origin Weapon truly belong to Lin Feng!

"All right, Destroyer, let the robots stop."

Lin Feng no longer needed them to transport a large amount of energy.

After he temporarily "fused" the Spear of Destruction, he quickly compressed his combat body quickly to the size of a normal person. The strange thing was that the Spear of Destruction in his body actually shrank as well. How miraculous.

"Destroyer, I need all authority in this ruin. You can transfer it, right?"

"Master, I can transfer the authority. Please drip a drop of blood."

Lin Feng nodded and dripped a drop of blood onto the Destroyer's hand. Immediately, the Destroyer began to transfer its authority to Lin Feng.

This required time. It would take at least three days to completely transfer the authority, because many things in the ruins were damaged and needed to be repaired one by one.

However, Lin Feng still obtained the authority of the robots very quickly. With the authority, he could order these robots directly without passing through the Destroyer.

Looking at the massive Destroyer, Lin Feng had a slight headache.

The Destroyer was his subordinate, and had the combat power of a Sage. How could he possibly give it up? However, the Destroyer was born a killing machine. With such a massive body, it was impossible for it to follow Lin Feng everywhere.

It seemed like he had to leave the Destroyer behind, and Lin Feng had to hold on to this ruin. It would be best if he could establish his own faction. This place would be the headquarters, guarded by the Destroyer. It would probably be very safe.

However, this required the approval of the Nine Sages.

Lin Feng was also uncertain about the Nine Sages' reaction. For instance, what if the Nine Sages wanted him to hand over his secrets?

It was impossible for Lin Feng to hand over the cultivation method of the combat body. Longbetham would not allow it either.

Actually, Lin Feng had long expected that once he unleashed the full power of the Tidal Combat Body, there would definitely be a lot of trouble. He should think about how to deal with it next.

Chapter 282: Attending the Conference of Sages

Just as Lin Feng was thinking about how to deal with it, an airship flew over from afar. The airship slowly landed on the ground. The cabin door of the airship opened, and many martial artists walked out.

The person in the lead was an old man in a military uniform. Behind him were the Hoarfrost King, his second brother Lin Hai, and other martial artists.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. That old man's identity should be more than it appears, because even the Hoarfrost King was walking behind him.

The Hoarfrost King was a distinguished Meta-divine Realm martial artist titled King, yet he was actually walking behind the old man. Could this be a Sage?

However, Lin Feng knew all Nine Sages of the human world, and this old man was definitely not one of them.

The old man led the people slowly to Lin Feng's side. Then, under the old man's lead, everyone bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Sage!"

"Sage?"

Lin Feng was a little stunned. The Hoarfrost King and the others did not seem to be joking. Besides, who would call Lin Feng a Sage as a joke?

"Hoarfrost King, what's going on?"

The Hoarfrost King raised his head and said respectfully, "Sage, you still don't know? In the Supreme Commanders' Department, the Nine Sages held a Sage Conference and unanimously agreed that you should become the tenth Sage of humanity! The announcement has already spread throughout the world through the major media. You are now a Sage in name and reality!"

A strange look flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. He had become a Sage?

This seemed a little abrupt. Previously, he was still thinking about how to deal with the upcoming situation. After all, he possessed the combat power of a Sage after his second life transition. This could not be concealed no matter what.

How big a secret was this?

Just from the fact that five Meta-divine Realm martial artists from the Night Devil Organization had come to kill Lin Feng previously, one could tell how attractive the secret on Lin Feng was. However, on the other hand, he already had the combat power of a Sage, and even controlled the Destroyer, which also had the combat power of a Sage.

Such strength could already influence the situation of humanity. What would the Nine Sages choose?

Now, the Nine Sages had already given the answer, and given Lin Feng the status he deserved. He was appointed the tenth Sage, the highest honor of humanity!

Even though Lin Feng was overwhelmed and very emotional, he appeared very calm on the surface.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked the old man.

"I'm a Five-star General of the military, Long Sheng!" The old man replied respectfully.

"Five-star general?"

Lin Feng understood. No wonder even the Hoarfrost King walked behind the old man. In terms of status, the Hoarfrost King was really lower than Long Sheng.

The Five-star Generals of the military were Meta-divine martial artists, and they controlled the entire military.

There were a total of five Five-star Generals in the entire military. They managed the entire military faction on behalf of the two Sages. Naturally, they were extremely powerful, second only to Sages.

Moreover, this person's surname was also Long. Lin Feng vaguely suspected that Long Sheng was probably related to "General Long".

"Lord Sage, we came specially to find you. You are now the tenth Sage and are qualified to attend the Conference of Sages. Currently, Sage Kang has held the Conference of Sages and requires your attendance."

Long Sheng's words made Lin Feng understand his purpose. So he was inviting him to the Conference of Sages.

Of course Lin Feng knew about the Conference of Sages. This was the Supreme Commander's Department, the highest-level meeting of humanity. Only Sages could participate. Once a decision was made through the Conference of Sages, it could immediately be promoted among all of humanity.

For example, the new policy for martial artists was approved by the Conference of Sages and implemented worldwide.

"I will participate in the Conference of Sages."

"I've brought you a communicator exclusive to you. You can participate in the Conference of Sages through a projection anywhere."

Lin Feng nodded and accepted his exclusive communicator. As a high-grade communicator, it was definitely different from ordinary communicators. Lin Feng even got Longbetham to secretly check it. There was indeed no problem.

Then, Long Sheng bade farewell and left, leaving only the Hoarfrost King and Lin Hai.

The Hoarfrost King was also filled with emotion. Who would have thought that Lin Feng would actually become a Sage? With this relationship, the Hoarfrost King would receive many benefits in the future. Of course he knew that he had to maintain a relationship with Lin Feng.

Now that their identities were different, the Hoarfrost King only chatted briefly with Lin Feng before bidding farewell and leaving. Lin Feng and Lin Hai were left alone. Their eyes met, and Lin Hai even seemed a little nervous.

"Second Brother, why are you so nervous?"

A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. Whether he was a Sage or not, in his eyes, family were the closest people to him.

Lin Hai looked at Lin Feng's familiar smile and relaxed.

"Third Brother, I didn't expect you to become a Sage. Dad and Mom will be so happy when they find out."

"Second Brother, you haven't informed the family that you're safe?"

"Not yet. There are also many things to do in the military. I really can't get away."

"Second Brother, you still want to stay in the army?"

"Third Brother, I know that with your current ability, you can easily transfer me elsewhere, but I'm a soldier. I've been in the army for many years, and will not be used to going elsewhere. Moreover, I like the atmosphere of the army, so…"

"I understand, Second Brother. Don't worry, I won't force it. Everyone has their own pursuit and value. I'm also very happy for you that you're in the army. But don't forget, we're family. No matter what happens, you still have a family!"

Lin Feng and Lin Hai had not seen each other for a long time, but they were not distant at all. Even though Lin Feng was now a prestigious Sage, there was no estrangement between the two due to their difference in status.

"All right, Second Brother, tell Dad and Mom that you're safe. I'll go to the Conference of Sages first."

Lin Hai nodded.

Lin Feng led Lin Feng into the ruins. After settling Lin Hai down, Lin Feng came to a secret chamber and picked up his communicator. Naturally, it had the function of connecting to the Conference of Sages.

Lin Feng connected to the Conference of Sages. Immediately, the communicator in front of him cast a huge projection.

"Incoming!"

In the Conference of Sages, when Lin Feng's projection appeared, the other Sages all had different expressions.

Whether they were happy or not, they all stared intently at Lin Feng. They were still very curious about this new Sage.

Lin Feng looked over. He had basically seen the publicity for the nine familiar or unfamiliar faces since he was young, but the only ones he had actually met face to face were the Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Kang, and Sage Yuanyi.

"Sage Lin Feng, you're finally here."

A faint smile appeared on the Invincible Fist Sage's face.

Lin Feng recalled the first time he met the Invincible Fist Sage. It was still vivid in his mind. Back then, he had thought that the Invincible Fist Sage was really superior, and that it would be difficult for him to catch up in his entire life.

However, in the blink of an eye, he had actually reached the same level as the Invincible Fist Sage. This kind of fortuitous encounter was really miraculous.

"Sage Lin Feng, we, the Nine Sages, believe that you already know. There's no need for further introductions. We'll meet more in the future and will naturally become familiar with each other. This Conference of Sages is specially held for Lin Feng." Sage Kang said slowly.

"A meeting held for me?"

Lin Feng's heart clenched. He knew that this was the real point!

Chapter 283: Competition

"That's right. It's held for Sage Lin Feng."

As soon as Sage Kang finished speaking, the expressions of the other Sages became a little solemn. Even the Invincible Fist Sage was no exception.

"Sage Kang, what is it?"

Lin Feng also knew that this day would come sooner or later. The Nine Sages had named him the tenth Sage because they wanted to show their goodwill first. Since they had already shown their goodwill, there were naturally some things that needed to be clarified.

"Sage Lin Feng, we'd like to confirm if you've only undergone two life transitions at the moment." Sage Kang asked in a low voice.

This question might also be the question of all the Sages. Even though they had already investigated it very clearly, they still needed Lin Feng's confirmation.

"That's right. I've indeed only undergone two life transitions."

Lin Feng glanced at the Sages. He knew that he could not hide this matter even if he wanted to, so he might as well not hide it. He had the combat power of a Sage, and was also a Sage now. He was not afraid of these Nine Sages at all.

"Hiss."

Everyone gasped. Even though they had their guesses, they were still very shocked to hear Lin Feng admit it himself.

He had the combat power of a Sage, with only two life transitions. If Sages like themselves, who had undergone four life transitions, obtained the ancient civilization's legacy, how strong would they be?

At the thought of this, even Sage Kang could not help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"Sage Lin Feng, what ancient civilization's legacy did you obtain?" Batai even asked eagerly.

Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged. He only glanced at Sage Batai. Of course he knew Sage Batai. Almost everyone knew about the deeds and images of the Nine Sages.

Sage Batai was the founder of the consortium faction. He was from a large clan to begin with. This consortium clan controlled almost 10% of the world's wealth, and its influence was immense.

Some people even vaguely pointed out that it was a malignant tumor!

However, Sage Batai was a banner. No one dared to openly oppose the Batai family.

Seeing Lin Feng's displeased expression, Sage Kang coughed lightly and said, "Sage Batai, please watch your words."

A strange look flashed across Batai's face, but he still said with a solemn expression, "Sage Kang, our human world is in such danger in the present. There is a way to increase our strength now. Why not use it? I think Sage Lin Feng will definitely be understanding, for the greater good of humanity."

Lin Feng's impression of Sage Batai became even worse. In the past, he had vaguely heard that the Batai family was very avaricious. The few corporations they controlled had all become trusts, monopolizing and controlling many industries.

Looking Sage Batai's impatient demeanor now, the rumors contained some truth to them.

"Sage Batai, I did obtain some legacy, but the legacy is useless after four life transitions."

"Sage Lin Feng, tell us the legacy you obtained. We'll study it together. Perhaps it can also inspire us, and give us a chance to undergo five life transitions…"

Before he could finish speaking, the Invincible Fist Sage snorted coldly and said, "Sage Batai, please remember the purpose of our Supreme Commanders' Department! Sage Lin Feng is the tenth Sage and our companion. What do you mean by this? Are you coercing Sage Lin Feng? I'll be the first to say no!"

The Invincible Fist Sage had a fiery temper and spoke directly. His tone clearly showed great discontent with Sage Batai.

"Invincible Fist Sage, I'm also doing this in consideration for all of humanity."

"Hmph, I think you're doing this in consideration of yourself.

The Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Batai began arguing. The atmosphere between the Sages also tensed slightly.

Lin Feng took in everything. It seemed like the Nine Sages were not as harmonious as they appeared on the surface. There were actually some disputes among them. It was just that outsiders were not aware.

"Sage Batai, Invincible Fist Sage, both of you give it a rest."

Sage Kang had spoken, so the two Sages stopped the discourse.

"Sage Lin Feng, you are already a Sage now. You are one of us, and also part of humanity. We will not coerce any Sage. You had your own opportunities. Every Sage here had their own opportunities, but have we all contributed them? No. Even I myself am not devoid of selfish motives.

"But there's one thing. We all belong to humanity!"

Sage Kang's gaze was a little sharp, especially towards Sage Batai.

Lin Feng was silent for a moment. He also understood. Sage Kang and the Invincible Fist Sage both supported him, and the academic faction moved as one. The other two Sages of the academic faction would definitely support the Invincible Fist Sage.

This way, Lin Feng was not alone and helpless. Moreover, he agreed with Sage Kang's philosophy very much. Everyone had their own privacy and opportunities. If the Sages forced anyone who had obtained some kind of legacy to hand it over, humanity would probably be in chaos now.

"Sage Kang, don't worry. I'm a member of humanity, and I always will be! At the appropriate time, after I've studied it thoroughly and it can improve martial arts, I'll publicize it."

"Thank you for your consideration, Sage Lin Feng. All right, this matter ends here."

Although Sage Batai was a little unwilling, seeing that even Sage Kang had said so, he could not ask further. Otherwise, the Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Kang, and Sage Yuanyi would definitely be displeased with him.

"Sage Lin Feng, apart from having you meet the nine of us to familiarize ourselves with each other, there's another important agenda for holding this Conference of Sages. Have you thought about which faction you want to join?"

This was the true purpose of this Conference of Sages.

"Join which faction?"

Lin Feng glanced at the Nine Sages. Needless to say, these Nine Sages all had their own factions, forming the five major factions.

Using the five major factions, the Nine Sages held the highest authority over humanity. This way, they would also have a huge advantage when facing those dire beasts. At the very least, they could mobilize manpower very quickly.

Without the support of the five major factions, it was impossible to maintain so many frontline bases.

"Lin Feng came from the Myriad Academy. He'll naturally join the academic faction!"

The Invincible Fist Sage said, and looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Lin Feng was already a Sage now. Dongfang Sheng was also a genius, a super genius who had the greatest chance of becoming a Sage. In the future, there might even be three Sages from the Myriad Academy alone.

At that time, how illustrious would the Myriad Academy be?

Even Sages had their own selfish motives. The Myriad Academy was the foundation of the Invincible Fist Sage. For the sake of the Myriad Academy, the Invincible Fist Sage naturally hoped that Lin Feng would join the academic faction.

"Heh, invincible, that's not necessarily the case! Who said that you have to join whichever faction you came from? Our military faction welcomes Sage Lin Feng to join us." Sage Zhou Tianqi from the military faction said.

"Our consortium faction also welcomes Sage Lin Feng. As long as Sage Lin Feng is willing to join our consortium faction, I can make the decision to immediately hand over at least a third of the consortium faction's businesses to Sage Lin Feng."

Sage Batai also joined the competition for Lin Feng. Although he had targeted Lin Feng a little just now, if he could rope Lin Feng into the consortium faction, no one would mind the unpleasantness just now.

"Looks like I have no choice but to speak. Sage Lin Feng, would you like to join the government faction?"

Even Sage Kang could not help but join the competition for Lin Feng.

Chapter 284: Establishing a Faction

Currently, the five major factions included the academic faction, the government faction, the military faction, the consortium faction, and the Freelance Cultivators Union.

The five major factions controlled almost every aspect of the human world. They were pervasive, and no one could escape the control of the five major factions. It seemed very daunting, but it was precisely because the five major factions were so powerful that they could ensure that humans could constantly expand their territory and allow human society to develop and improve.

Humanity's technology was slowly obtained from the ancient civilizations that were constantly excavated. The speed of development could be described as explosive. Almost every year, a few major technological inventions would appear.

Not to mention how the path of martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds. They had even entered the era of martial artists.

It would probably be very difficult for Lin Feng to stay out of it. He had to join a faction, or be a faction himself!

Considering that ruin, the Destroyer, and the many secrets on Lin Feng himself, it was not very appropriate for Lin Feng to join any faction.

He needed to establish his own faction. Even if he wanted to publicize certain things about himself, he had to prioritize his own faction and slowly promote it among all of humanity.

Human nature was the most unpredictable thing. Lin Feng had to be cautious.

As for the difficulty of establishing a faction, with Lin Feng's current influence, that ruin, and the help of Longbetham, establishing a faction was not a problem at all.

Hence, Lin Feng glanced at the Invincible Fist Sage and said apologetically, "Dean, please forgive me for not being able to join the academic faction."

The Invincible Fist Sage hurriedly asked, "Why? Do you think the conditions are not good enough? Don't worry, as long as you join, even if you want to build an academy, we will fully support you."

Sage Kang smiled and asked, "Sage Lin Feng, would you choose to join the government faction?"

"No, I won't join anyone! I choose to establish my own faction." Lin Feng said firmly.

"Establish a faction?"

Everyone was stunned. It was not that they had not thought of this possibility, but the five major factions were spread throughout human society in the present. What faction could get a foothold?

Even though Lin Feng was a Sage, he could not forcefully insert a sixth faction.

If the faction established did not have much power, what need would there be to establish it?

"Sage Lin Feng, establishing a faction is very difficult. You have to think it through."

Sage Kang's expression also turned solemn. He was really worried that Lin Feng's establishment of a faction would affect the interests of the five major factions. If conflicts arose, it might cause internal strife in human society. The gains would not make up for the losses. Moreover, that was not what Sage Kang wished to see either.

Lin Feng naturally knew what Sage Kang was worried about, so he said with a smile, "Sage Kang, I've already thought it through. The headquarters of the faction I've established is in the ruins not far from the Brimstone Base. Moreover, I'll only recruit martial artists who haven't joined the five major factions. However, I have another request. Sage Zhou Tianqi, Sage Palman, would you be willing to transfer the Brimstone Base to me? The military can withdraw from the Brimstone Base. In the future, it will become the headquarters of the faction I've established, to always guard the Outland!"

"Haha, it's just a minor matter. Since Sage Lin Feng can build his headquarters in such a remote place and always guard the Outland, our military faction naturally supports it!"

Sage Zhou Tianqi immediately expressed his stance. Sage Palman also nodded in agreement. If they retreated from the Brimstone Base, many martial artists there could return to the military to establish new bases. Lin Feng was doing the military a favor. What reason did the military have to disagree?

"All right, since Sage Lin Feng has already made his decision, the matter is decided."

Sage Kang gave the final word. The Conference of Sages ended. The Sages congratulated Lin Feng one after another, and the projections disappeared.

The Invincible Fist Sage stayed behind. He said emotionally, "Lin Feng, what a pity. Although you didn't join the academic faction, you're a Sage from my Myriad Academy after all. If you ever encounter difficulties when establishing your faction in the future, do come to me directly."

"Dean, then I'll have to thank you in advance."

Lin Feng did not stand on ceremony with the Invincible Fist Sage. Among the Nine Sages, the Invincible Fist Sage was the one who undoubtedly supported him fully.

The Sages left one after another, with only Sage Kang remaining.

Lin Feng knew that Sage Kang definitely had something to say to him.

"Sage Lin Feng, you've seen the Sage Conference just now. The Nine Sages are not really completely selfless. They also have their own interests."

"I know. Even martial artists have their own interests, let alone Sages. However, I believe that as long as by and large, everyone serves the whole of humanity, it's already very good."

"That's right. All these years, I have been mediating the conflicts between the Sages. With that, no major conflicts have occurred on the broader scale. Now that you've become the tenth Sage, you represent a variable, but I believe that you are also hope."

"Hope?"

"You should also know about these things. The Nine Sages are guarding the Outland, and we actually have no time to spare. This is because every Sage has their corresponding demon emperor. The moment we leave, those demon emperors will stir up trouble, and bring a calamity to our human society."

"Then why not eliminate those demon emperors?"

"If we could get rid of them, we would have done it long ago. Every one of those demon emperors is not inferior to us Sages. We can't join forces for the time being, so how can we get rid of those demon emperors? But now that there's Sage Lin Feng and the robot with the combat power of a Sage under your control, the situation has become advantageous to us."

"What do you mean, Sage Kang?"

"In the future, I hope that Sage Lin Feng can work with us to eliminate some demon emperors after stabilizing your cultivation level."

This could be considered an invitation to Lin Feng. Wasn't this the reason Sage Kang had done so much to support Lin Feng in becoming the tenth Sage?

Lin Feng pondered for a while. Finally, he lifted his head and said, "It shall be my duty!"

"All right, when the time is right, I'll inform Sage Lin Feng!"

Sage Kang could finally rest assured, so his projection quickly disappeared as well.

Lin Feng took one last look at the Conference of Sages and did not stay for long. He instantly severed the connection, and his projection gradually dissipated.

"Phew…"

Lin Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked around again. He was still in the secret chamber in the ruins.

The Conference of Sages just now was really miraculous, but at the same time, it also broadened Lin Feng's horizons. He learned what was going on between the Nine Sages, the highest authority in human society.

Without a doubt, there were also distinctions in interests and discords among Sages. However, under the mediation of Sages like Sage Kang, they still maintained overall harmony.

Only, as the tenth Sage, he might break the balance.

However, these were not within Lin Feng's consideration. He had already become a Sage. Since he was determined to establish a new faction, he had to build a framework first.

After all, up until now, Lin Feng was still a lone commander.

Well, it could not be said that he was completely alone. Lin Feng had at least 200,000 robot subordinates, all of which were loyal without comparison

Chapter 285: League of Guardians!

"This will be my headquarters from now on!"

Lin Feng looked at the ruins and felt a trace of pride.

So what if it was a ruin?

In the future, he would build a magnificent headquarters here. He would even purge everything within a radius of a thousand miles. He would turn this place into a new paradise for humans!

The human society under the five major factions was actually already deep-rooted. The sudden rise of a faction would definitely cause a huge conflict.

Even if the Sages did not mind, the five major factions would never be so willing to let another faction rise to power.

However, Lin Feng would not establish a faction in a human city at all, and he would not fight for the pitiful benefits of human society by force.

The world was a very big place, and most of it was occupied by dire beasts. Here, for instance, dire beasts occupied everything within a radius of a thousand miles. Was there no benefit to this fertile land

Since Lin Feng had already become the tenth Sage of human society, he naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of a Sage. Every Sage had made major contributions to humanity, and Lin Feng was no exception.

This fertile land of a thousand miles would be Lin Feng's best gift to humanity!

Lin Feng had already decided that he would sweep through this area. He would at least sweep through the entire area within a radius of a thousand miles, forming an absolute safe zone.

At that time, wouldn't those merchants and martial artists swarm over?

Moreover, Lin Feng had another goal in establishing the faction, and that was to collect energy!

That's right. Although Lin Feng had a lot of energy now, enough for three life transitions, what about four or even five life transitions?

Without a faction, it would definitely be very slow and inefficient to collect them as an individual.

"Longbetham, help me post a message online. I welcome any martial artists not from the five major factions to join my faction." Lin Feng said to Longbetham.

"You have to give your faction a name, right?"

Longbetham clearly knew Lin Feng's plan as well. It was very supportive of Lin Feng's establishment of a faction. It even planned to include the North Mountain Base and the South Mountain Base in Lin Feng's sphere of influence in the future.

At that time, the airship buried underground would be even less likely to be discovered by others.

"A name?"

Lin Feng smacked his head. He had really forgotten. Since he wanted to establish a faction, how could it not have a name?

For example, as evident from its name, the academic faction was based on the academies. The natures of factions like the government faction and the military faction were also obvious at a glance.

There was also the consortium faction. It must be the faction established by those large consortiums.

As for the Freelance Cultivators Union, just like Daoist Yuanyi, it governed by allowing things to proceed naturally. It was very free and unrestrained.

If Lin Feng wanted to establish a faction, the name of this faction was also very important. It should reflect the foundation of Lin Feng's establishment of the faction at a glance!

"Why do I want to establish a faction?"

Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

Actually, with Lin Feng's current strength, he did not have to spend so much effort to establish the faction. Perhaps it was for the convenience of collecting energy in the future, but this was not the most important reason.

What was the main reason?

Lin Feng thought of his parents, family, friends, and those good friends who had fought alongside him.

Previously, Lin Feng had wanted to break the genetic lock. Apart from curing his strange illness, were there other reasons?

In all likelihood, protecting his family and the people he loved was also an important reason!

Later, when Lin Feng broke the genetic lock and cured his strange illness, he valued his family even more. Everything he did was to protect his family and the people he loved.

In Dragonlith City, that was protecting all the ordinary people who guarded Dragonlith City.

Even now, even though Lin Feng had become a Sage, apart from protecting his family, he also wanted to protect more people. If a city faced the threat of dire beasts and might suffer a calamity, he could not sit back and do nothing no matter what.

"Let's call it the League of Guardians! All martial artists who join the League of Guardians must have the heart of a guardian. They must protect their families, their loved ones, their good friends, and more people… This is the purpose of the League of Guardians!"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he felt refreshed, as if his heart had become even more determined. Even his Mental Power Sphere seemed to have become more cohesive.

This was the goal of the League of Guardians, but it was also Lin Feng's determination!

To protect the people around him, and protect more ordinary people!

"Do you need to make some promotional videos or something? I am afraid you will not be able to recruit many people if you do your recruiting like this."

Longbetham shook its head, its tone a little helpless. Hearing Lin Feng mention the purpose of the League of Guardians, it did not feel that emotional. In its opinion, no one would respond to such a recruitment at all.

"Promotional videos? There's no need for that for the time being. How about this? There's no hurry to release it. I'll clear out the surrounding dire beasts first before releasing the recruitment message. During this period of time, make some of the scenes of clearing them into a promotional video. I believe this kind of realistic promotional video will be very effective."

Longbetham's eyes lit up as well. "Not bad. This is a good idea."

Lin Feng immediately took action. He glanced at the Destroyer and said, "You used to be the Destroyer. Now that I've established the League of Guardians, you can change your name to the Guardian."

Changing the name of the robot was very simple. Next, Lin Feng began to order all the armed robots in the ruins to leave the ruins.

Lin Feng already had the authority to the ruins. Hence, he knew how many robots there were.

Originally, there were a total of 200,000 robots. However, after the great battle, nearly 20,000 robots were actually lost. Now, there were only 180,000 robots left.

How big was the difference between 180,000 and 200,000?

It was probably impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

As the robots walked out in rows, even Lin Feng was shocked. Armed robots walked out of the ruins one after another and stood densely in the open space outside the ruins. It was an immensely impressive scene.

This scene was also recorded by Longbetham. This was a very good piece of "promo".

Previously, Lin Feng knew how powerful these robots were. Martial artists were helpless against them. Often, they must suffer huge losses to defeat some of the robots.

However, Lin Feng did not know how effective robots were against those dire beasts.

Lin Feng first got the robots to investigate. Combined with the military's intelligence, there were hundreds of dire beast hordes of various sizes entrenched within a radius of a thousand miles.

Of course, most of them only composed of a few thousand or up to ten thousand of dire beasts, and Lin Feng did not take them seriously at all.

There were a total of ten hordes with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dire beasts.

Although Lin Feng did not have much experience in commanding, he knew that he could not divide his forces.

Hence, Lin Feng chose the nearest dire beast horde with a large population. He personally led 180,000 armed robots and the Guardian, and began the process of sweeping them with vigor.

Chapter 286: The Sweep

The 180,000 armed robots departed as a mighty legion with an incomparably formidable air.

Lin Feng did not actually formulate any strategy. What strategy was needed for a sweep within a radius of only a thousand miles? He just had to crush any and all dire beasts along the way!

Only by turning this area of a thousand miles into an absolutely safe zone could he consider his goal successful.

The 180,000 robots were actually very easy to command. Lin Feng could command them alone. This was because they were all just programs, and they were born killing machines. War was what they were best suited for!

With a single order, they could unleash a terrifying massacre. If Lin Feng were leading 180,000 martial artists, things would be completely different. It would be very difficult.

Moreover, these 180,000 armed robots moved very quickly. After leaving the ruins, Lin Feng charged in one direction. He wanted to sweep through all the dire beasts in the area, one direction at a time.

The sweep practically combed through the place, not missing a single area.

Lin Feng's action immediately caught the attention of the military.

"General, Sage Lin Feng has activated a large number of robots. The robot army is roughly estimated to number close to 200,000!"

The military personnel's voice was trembling. That was 200,000 armed robots! How nerve-wrecking was it to see so many armed robots on screen?

Moreover, the military had suffered heavy losses due to these robots previously. Yet, at that time, there were at most only tens of thousands of these armed robots.

"There's no need to be nervous. Sage Lin Feng has already confirmed that he will establish his own faction. Looks like Sage Lin Feng is preparing to sweep through this area and establish his headquarters here."

The Five-star General, General Long, was not too nervous. He already knew the outcome of the Conference of Sages. With a little deduction, he naturally knew Lin Feng's goal.

However, while he wasn't nervous, that did not mean he wasn't paying attention.

This was a rare opportunity to see the combat power of the armed robots under Lin Feng's command.

"Pay close attention!"

Basically, it only received the attention of the military. Moreover, once Lin Feng swept through this area, it would also be a good thing for the military.

This area could be considered the depths of the Outland. There were dire beasts everywhere. For this reason, the military had set up more than a dozen frontline bases. If Lin Feng could sweep through this area, the military could also withdraw these frontline bases.

"Dire beasts ahead."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He led the robot army and crushed his way through. The scattered dire beasts they encountered were almost no challenge at all.

That lasted until now, when he encountered a type of dire beast not far ahead called the Fanged Beast.

These Fanged Beasts were massive, second only to Proboscis Beasts. Moreover, they had fangs. They were also dire beasts specializing in strength and defense, and were very difficult to deal with.

Moreover, they were numerous. According to the military's estimate, there were more than 30,000 Fanged Beasts.

In order to resist the Fanged Beasts, the military had specially set up two frontline bases.

At this moment, the martial artists from the two frontline bases had already discovered the densely packed robot army rushing over from afar. Fortunately, they had already received orders from the military and knew that it was the robot army led by the newly ascended Sage Lin Feng, so no misunderstanding occurred.

Atop the base fortress, many martial artists were paying attention to the robot army in the distance.

"It's Sage Lin Feng. Who would have thought that the Sage would actually strike personally?"

"Haha, I'm from Central Sea City. A Sage has originated from our Central Sea City. I never even dared to dream of it."

"These robot armies are really terrifying. Although they didn't attack our base previously, I know that the other bases suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Sage Lin Feng controlled them. Now, they can also be used by us humans."

"That's right. Let's see how powerful these robots can be under Sage Lin Feng's lead."

"Let those Fanged Beasts have a good taste of these terrifying robots."

Practically no one was afraid. After all, there was a Sage here. Why would they ever fear that the Fanged Beasts would attack the base?

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could only be chanced upon by luck. They might even be able to witness a Sage strike with their own eyes.

Soon, Lin Feng discovered the Fanged Beasts.

In reality, the moment Lin Feng's robot army entered the territory of the Fanged Beasts, these Fanged Beasts had already discovered it. They were dire beasts with a certain degree of intelligence, with demon generals among them.

Hence, when Lin Feng saw these Fanged Beasts, he saw tens of thousands of them, all staring at the robot army menacingly.

This lineup was far stronger than the Screwworms that Lin Feng had encountered back then, as well as the Terrestrial Ants and Pangolin Beasts that he had encountered in the North and South Mountain Bases. No wonder they had never been able to deal with the Fanged Beasts, even with two military bases.

"Destroy the Fanged Beasts ahead!"

Lin Feng's gaze was cold as he immediately gave orders to all the robots.

Immediately, the robot army moved. As many as 180,000 robots surged forward in an orderly manner like a tide. Facing those ferocious Fanged Beasts, the armed robots were almost at no disadvantage.

They even used energy weapons to attack the Fanged Beasts from a distance.

This was a one-sided massacre. Not only could the use of energy weapons kill a large number of Fanged Beasts, even in close combat, the Fanged Beasts could not get any upper hand.

The Fanged Beasts did not have any advantage against robots covered in metal.

Lin Feng flew in the air and watched coldly.

As the robots charged, the aggressive Fanged Beasts fell in droves like wheat being scythed. Even if some Fanged Beasts charged into the robots occasionally, they were like drops of water falling into the vast ocean, dissipating without even a splash.

"Grr…"

Those demons were completely enraged. Among the 30,000 Fanged Beasts, there were at least a hundred demons, and there were three demon generals. They were the strongest dire beasts Lin Feng had ever seen.

As the hundreds of demons charged in a frenzy, they caused some chaos in the robot army, but that was all. Facing the demons, these robots quickly surrounded them, segregated them, and used their superior firepower. In just a few minutes, the hundreds of demons were trapped in a desperate situation.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. No wonder the military encountered constant defeat before these robots. Hundreds of demons were killed just like that. If it were a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, they would definitely not be much better off.

However, there were still three demon generals. They were indeed extraordinary. As they rampaged through the robots, it nonetheless caused some damage to the robots.

However, Lin Feng did not order the Guardian to attack immediately. Instead, he watched on coldly.

He also wanted to see how strong these armed robots were and if they could handle the situation.

Chapter 287: Crushing the Entire Way

The three demon generals roared as they charged towards the armed robots. They were all over five meters tall, like prehistoric monsters.

A single charge could shatter more than ten robots. In a sense, demon generals were superior to human Divine Realm martial artists in terms of killing and combat.

After all, the Astral Power of human Divine Realm martial artists was finite. It was impossible for them to charge wildly like this. Moreover, there were Divine Realm martial artists from the military who were surrounded and killed by robots in the previous calamity.

Swish. Swish. Swish.

These robots were killing machines by nature. They were extremely dreaded in the field of combat and killing.

Faced with the massive demon generals, they quickly surrounded and divided them. Then, they used their advantageous energy weapons to bombard and attack in a frenzy.

In just over ten minutes, although the three demon generals had also destroyed hundreds of robots, they were severely injured, and landed in a precarious situation.

After another ten minutes or so, in just half an hour, the three demon generals were killed by this group of robots. Only less than 300 robots were lost.

On average, a demon general only destroyed 100 robots.

Lin Feng's expression was very calm, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil. He knew that as long as there were materials and energy, these robots could be created almost infinitely.

At least 300,000 more robots could be created in the ruins. There might be many dire beasts in this world, but if the robots were also infinite, could they conquer the entire world?

The strength of the third civilization was evident in these armed robots. Moreover, the third civilization could even create terrifying robots like the Guardian, which had the combat power of Sages.

What chilled Lin Feng's heart was that even such a powerful civilization had actually been destroyed. If not for this ruin, there wouldn't even be a trace of it.

What exactly destroyed the third civilization?

Was it destroyed by some external force, just like the seventh civilization?

Lin Feng did not know, but he was already a little wary. His current strength was far from enough. He needed to improve. It would be best if he could undergo three life transitions, four life transitions, or even five life transitions!

The fate of the 30,000 Fanged Beasts was basically decided. Under the impact of the 180,000 robots, they would either flee or be killed. The crushing victory of the 180,000 robots shocked everyone.

This was especially true for the martial artists from the two military bases close by. They had been dealing with these Fanged Beasts for more than a decade, and knew very well just how difficult dealing with the Fanged Beasts was.

But now?

That was clearly a one-sided massacre. In the face of the surging torrent of robots, the 30,000 savage Fanged Beasts did not even have the slightest ability to resist.

"Those robots are truly terrifying."

"No wonder so many bases were breached one after another. Those were 30,000 Fanged Beasts, including hundreds of demons and three demon generals. And they died just like that?"

"Sage Lin Feng did not even attack. Just those ordinary armed robots were enough to render the 30,000 Fanged Beasts incapable of any resistance…"

"If the Fanged Beasts are gone, what are these two bases of ours good for?"

Many martial artists were shocked, surprised, and a little "melancholic".

It was not that they really felt melancholy, but that they were full of complicated feelings. They had fought with the Fanged Beasts in the base for more than ten years. Now, they stood watching as their enemy of over a decade was crushed with ease and eventually annihilated. There was an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

However, there was no doubt that they had seen how frightening Lin Feng's robots were. These were practically war machines, killing machines. They were also even more grateful that Lin Feng could resolve this crisis and allow these robots to become an aid to humanity.

Otherwise, there was no knowing how many martial artists would die in order to deal with these robots.

The Fanged Beasts were only one of the ten major types of dire beasts in this region. Now that he knew the true combat power of these robots, Lin Feng had little to worry about.

He immediately divided his troops into six divisions, with 30,000 armed robots in each division. It enough to flatten any dire beast in this area.

Lin Feng even got the robots to transport the corpses of these dire beasts he killed back to the ruins. They could be converted into the rawest energy through the energy conversion system.

The great many dire beast corpses could definitely be converted to a lot of energy.

Furthermore, the corpses of the demon generals could be used as the "special products" of the League of Guardians that Lin Feng would establish in the future. With the robots, Lin Feng believed that in the future, while there might not be a lot of other things in the League of Guardians, there would definitely be no shortage of corpses of demons, greater demons, and even demon kings.

This could also be considered a characteristic of the League of Guardians!

Compared to the deeply rooted five major factions, which had all kinds of Astral Power cultivation techniques, in the future, the League of Guardians would possess dire beast corpses, demon corpses, and some advanced technological weapons from ancient civilizations.

For example, the weapons of these robot armies could kill those dire beasts, whereas humanity's current technological weapons could not cause much damage to dire beasts.

There was also an important reason for this. The current technological weapons of humanity only capitalized on the lethality from explosives and so on. This actually did not have much effect on those dire beasts.

The third civilization, on the other hand, utilized energy weapons. All the weapons in the hands of the robots contained abundant energy. This was also more in line with the technological civilizations in the universe, where energy was everything!

Lin Feng could even slowly unearth the technology of the third civilization after establishing the League of Guardians, and gradually manufacture some energy weapons to promote the development of the technology of all of humanity.

At that time, humanity might also be able to enter the era of energy. Then, it would naturally be easier to deal with dire beasts.

The six robot armies only took half a month to sweep through the entire area within a radius of a thousand miles. Moreover, they combed through it thoroughly. There was no longer any dire beast of any size. Lin Feng even left behind some armed robots to patrol and sweep the area every day, striving to clear out all the dire beasts in this region as soon as possible.

The robot army only lost 10,000 in this sweep. Currently, there were only 30,000 robots left. However, Lin Feng used the materials in the ruins to create another 30,000 robots.

The roster of 200,000 robots was restored. These robots would become the strongest armed force in the League of Guardians for a long time to come.

They were also the foundation of the League of Guardians, comparable to or even stronger than the five major factions!

"Lin Feng, the promotional video is ready. You can recruit people from all over the world now."

Longbetham sent the promotional video to Lin Feng. The promotional video was completely truthful, containing scenes of Lin Feng leading the robot army to crush all enemies along the way. There was even a battle scene of the Guardian.

It would definitely be explosive and attractive!

Lin Feng also wanted to use this to promote the reputation of the League of Guardians. In terms of martial strength, even though Lin Feng was the only Sage in the League of Guardians, he was definitely not inferior to any of the five major factions.

"Great. Release it at once."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. He asked Longbetham to release the promotional video immediately.

Lin Feng was confident regarding the effect of the promotional video.

Next, Lin Feng no longer paid attention to this matter. Instead, he began to think about how to successfully undergo the third life transition.
