Chapter 320: Qu Chen's Tenacity
The Invincible Fist Sage looked at Qu Chen, who had an expectant expression on her face. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
In the end, he was the one who started this matter. However, he was still alive, while Lin Feng was dead.
"Lin Feng is dead. I saw it with my own eyes."
The Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth. He could not lie to Qu Chen, or he would feel even more uneasy.
The "truth" coming from the Invincible Fist Sage was so cruel. Qu Chen's face was pale, but she could not even form a word.
Zhang Qiji also bit his lip tightly, but he said indignantly, "Lord Invincible Fist Sage, you must uphold justice for our League of Guardians! Brother Feng is a dignified Sage and a hero of humanity. How can he still receive such treatment after his death?"
A trace of coldness flashed across the Invincible Fist Sage's eyes. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't let Sage Batai touch a single hair on the League of Guardians!"
At this moment, Qu Chen also said firmly, "Lord Invincible Fist Sage, the League of Guardians must be defended. This is Lin Feng's hard work! We are counting on you!"
Qu Chen even bowed formally to the Invincible Fist Sage. Now, only the Invincible Fist Sage could help them.
As for the Guardian that had already been taken by Sage Batai by force, Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji had completely lost hope over it. They only wanted to defend the League of Guardians.
The Invincible Fist Sage felt incomparably guilty. He gritted his teeth and instantly rose into the air, returning to the airship and disappearing. No matter what, he had to protect Lin Feng's League of Guardians!
After the Invincible Fist Sage left, the League of Guardians Headquarters suddenly became very quiet.
During this period of time, the League of Guardians had been developing rapidly. The number of official members had grown from the previous 63 to 183 in the present.
...
Apart from the martial artists who died from the aftershock of the battle between the Sages, there were still 179 official members of the League of Guardians.
At this moment, these 179 martial artists had already gathered. They looked at the ruins around the League of Guardians with very complicated gazes.
Sage Lin Feng was dead, and even the League of Guardians had been destroyed. Even the Guardian had been seized by Sage Batai by force. Some martial artists who originally joined with opportunistic motives immediately began having second thoughts.
Although Qu Chen had yet to break the genetic lock, she was not an ingénue. While she was studying alone in the Polar Academy, she had also broadened her horizons.
Seeing the gazes of these martial artists, she understood what they were thinking.
"As you can see, Sage Lin Feng of the League of Guardians has already fallen, and the Guardian has been seized by force. Whether the League of Guardians can continue to exist will depend on the decision of the Conference of Sages. I have the authority of the League of Guardians, so I will make the call. If you wish to leave the League of Guardians, you can apply to leave now. I'll approve it immediately!"
Buzz.
Hearing Qu Chen's words, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.
"Sister-in-law, you can't…"
Zhang Qiji's expression changed slightly. He wanted to stop her, but Qu Chen waved her hand. She had already made the decision!
Normally speaking, once people joined the five major factions or the League of Guardians, they could not leave unless they had done something heinous. Then, the League of Guardians had the right to expel them.
However, it was almost impossible for martial artists to apply to withdraw themselves.
However, Qu Chen had already made an offer. She would let those who wanted to leave go.
Some quick-witted people were immediately tempted. They had come to the League of Guardians for opportunistic reasons, feeling that the League of Guardians had great potential for development. Or perhaps, they were here for Lin Feng in the first place. They felt that Lin Feng was so young, and had great potential in the future, even surpassing Sages.
But now, all of it had fallen apart!
Lin Feng had fallen, becoming the first Sage to fall among humans in decades.
The League of Guardians was also targeted by another Sage. If this went on, how could the League of Guardians keep developing?
They had already lost hope in the League of Guardians. Now that they heard that Qu Chen would allow them to leave the League of Guardians, of course they were overjoyed.
Hence, the first person stepped forward.
"Sorry, I… I apply to leave the League of Guardians!"
The martial artist who walked out first was a Metamorphic Realm martial artist from the first batch to join the League of Guardians.
"You…"
Many people glared at him, but since he already wanted to leave, Qu Chen naturally would not go back on her word.
"All right, I approve it. Now, pack your things and leave the League of Guardians. You are no longer a member of the League of Guardians!" Qu Chen's voice was a little icy.
This martial artist did not have much to pack. Even the League of Guardians had been reduced to rubble. What else did he have to pack?
Hence, after obtaining Qu Chen's approval, he left in a hurry.
Qu Chen had some authority in the League of Guardians, so she could naturally "expel" certain martial artists.
Hence, after the first martial artist left, he was followed by the second, and more. Qu Chen agreed to all of them and immediately removed their names from the League of Guardians.
The number of official members in the League of Guardians decreased from 179 to 108. A total of 71 people left.
"Does anyone else want to leave?"
Qu Chen scanned the remaining crowd. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face.
Lei Sheng! Young Master Lei!
Back then, after the debacle, Lei Sheng still chose to join the League of Guardians. Moreover, it was with Lin Feng's "special approval". He actually did not choose to leave.
Lei Sheng walked out slowly and said firmly, "Since we've chosen to join the League of Guardians, we won't give up so easily. Unless the League of Guardians disbands, we will always be members of the League of Guardians!"
"That's right. We won't leave."
"Back then, it was Sage Lin Feng who agreed to let us join the League of Guardians. We agree with the ideal of the League of Guardians. That was never for opportunistic motives. We won't leave!"
"As long as the League of Guardians isn't dissolved, we will not leave!"
Looking at these passionate martial artists, Qu Chen also nodded to herself. Only the heavens knew how much pressure she had endured just now. The League of Guardians was founded by Lin Feng alone, and was the result of Lin Feng's painstaking effort. If all these members had left, she would also be disappointing Lin Feng.
Fortunately, most of them did not leave. They were the true backbone of the League of Guardians, and trustworthy people!
Qu Chen knew very well that the League of Guardians was experiencing all kinds of difficulties now, and could not afford any more internal discord. Thus, she might as well let those who wanted to leave go. The remaining people were all people who could go through thick and thin with the League of Guardians.
"Lin Feng, I will protect the League of Guardians and your hard work on your behalf!"
Qu Chen looked at the surrounding ruins. She gritted her teeth. She could not crumble now. This might be the only thing she could do for Lin Feng.

Chapter 321: Leviathan
The Conference of Sages was held under the direction of Sage Kang.
The Conference of Sages this time was filled with hostility. The three Sages of the academic faction, led by the Invincible Fist Sage, were engaged in an intense verbal confrontation with Sage Batai of the consortium faction.
Both parties held nothing back. However, there's no knowing what benefits Sage Batai had promised that he actually got Sage Claus from the government faction to join his side.
The two sides were evenly matched and engaged in a fierce dispute.
The academic faction wanted Sage Batai to hand over the Guardian, but Batai absolutely would not hand over the Guardian. He even requested the disbandment of the League of Guardians, and the contribution of all the robot technology and energy weapons technology in the League of Guardians.
This was simply a blatant attempt to divide the spoils from the League of Guardians.
The Invincible Fist Sage was furious. Even Sage Kang's mediation did not help.
In the end, under Sage Kang's mediation, the Conference of Sages made a decision. The League of Guardians would continue to stand, but the energy weapon technology and robot technology could be sold publicly to the five major factions at appropriate "prices".
The Invincible Fist Sage was very dissatisfied with such a decision. He turned off the projector and left without much ado. Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass also left in anger.
Sage Bingyu even directly accused Sage Kang of being "unjust".
The Invincible Fist Sage and the other two Sages left the Conference of Sages. Sages Batai and Claus also left. The two Sages from the military who had not spoken much left as well.
Only Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi were left in the entire Conference of Sages.
"Yuanyi, am I really being unjust?" Sage Kang suddenly asked.
Sage Yuanyi had a complex expression. He understood Sage Kang's difficulties, and he also understood that Sage Kang was wholly dedicated to considering the greater good.
However, sometimes, Sage Kang was too focused on the "greater good", which resulted in serious consequences.
"Elder Kang, sometimes, the greater good in your eyes isn't the greater good for everyone…"
With that, Sage Yuanyi left too.
Sage Kang looked up pensively, but he quickly made up his mind. He was not in the wrong. For the sake of the greater good, he could not allow the Sages to fight among themselves again.
However, in reality, from this Conference of Sages onwards, the Nine Sages of humanity were actually completely divided!
…
In the dark and cold underground river, a spear emitted dim light constantly in the darkness, giving it a mysterious and eerie air.
Only a mass of flesh was left of Lin Feng's body, but it enveloped the huge scarlet crystal. It was the life core of a planetary lifeform. Although it was only a fragment of the life core, it was about one percent.
The fragment that was one percent of the life core was enveloped in Lin Feng's flesh, which was vaguely devouring the life core fragment. The huge mass of flesh was also squirming constantly, attempting to condense again.
Lin Feng was plunged into darkness.
His consciousness seemed to have drifted into a vast cosmos. He seemed to have transformed into a strange behemoth that had lived in cold waters since he was young.
Moreover, he had a beautiful name, Leviathan!
Ever since it had memories, the Leviathan was the overlord of the water. It followed its instincts and constantly devoured the creatures in the water. Gradually, its body grew larger and larger, and occasionally, it would have a very strange feeling.
Finally, after some unknown tens of thousands of years, it became the undisputed overlord of all waters.
It began to go ashore. When it encountered some strange creatures resisting, it continued to devour them along the way. No power was capable of stopping it.
It yearned for that feeling, as if there was only one thought in its life, and that was to devour—devour in a frenzy.
Gradually, it sensed danger, as if the danger it was destined to encounter was about to arrive. It had made a lot of preparations for that day, and devoured everything on the continent in an incomparably frenzy.
There were some relatively powerful lifeforms in the past, but before its massive size, they were like ants that could not even fill its stomach.
Finally, the danger of the Leviathan arrived. Following ancient memories, or rather, instincts, its body was "desiring", desperately "desiring" a transition in life.
And so, it exploded.
That moment was the most painful moment it had experienced since its birth. Countless fragments appeared in its memory. There was the cosmos; there was the universe.
And it was about to become a great lifeform that could traverse the universe!
Finally, it succeeded. Its body became larger than the entire world. It devoured the entire world, before finally completing its "metamorphosis".
After completing its metamorphosis, it traveled the cosmos. Whenever it encountered a life planet, it would devour it wantonly.
Sometimes, it also encountered stronger lifeforms. Just a little aura could make it flee. Fortunately, it had obtained some innate abilities from its memories.
In the universe, it was very fast, shockingly fast. In the past, many lifeforms with stronger auras than it had wanted to pursue it, but they were all shaken off by its incredible speed.
The universe was lonely, and the memories came and went.
Suddenly, a huge hand appeared in the cosmos. Leviathan felt despair. Its huge body did not seem to have any resistance against the huge hand.
Boom.
It exploded. The Leviathan's body exploded, but Lin Feng's memory slowly awakened.
"I'm Leviathan?"
"No, I'm Lin Feng!"
Countless scenes appeared in his memory, from when he was young to when he became the tenth Sage of humanity. All of this was vivid in his mind. Perhaps, compared to the billions of years of memories of the Leviathan, Lin Feng's mere 20 years of memories were insignificant.
However, these memories were unforgettable to Lin Feng. He would not forget them, even after a thousand or ten thousand years.
"I'm Lin Feng, I'm not the Leviathan! Just now, I was lost in the memories of the Leviathan?"
Lin Feng woke up. His consciousness resumed, and he realized that what had just happened was the memory of the Leviathan, and it was an incomplete memory.
That huge life core was probably the life core of the Leviathan. It contained the memories, energy, and essence of the Leviathan's entire life.
Even though it was only a fragment that was one percent of a life core, it was incomparably powerful to Lin Feng.
"So life transitions are actually so simple…" Lin Feng muttered softly. "My body…"
However, Lin Feng quickly sensed that he did not even have a body now. There was only a mass of flesh, and his consciousness was attached to the life core.
As long as his consciousness remained, Lin Feng's flesh and blood also had the "undying characteristic". Hence, even if there was only a little flesh and blood left, he could still condense it again.
"Condense!"
With a thought from Lin Feng, a large amount of energy surged into the life core. The mass of flesh quickly condensed and expanded.

Chapter 322: Three Life Transitions
Ten meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters, two hundred meters…
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body had recovered to 260 meters, but the life core in his body only shrunk by a little.
Lin Feng's gaze was very calm. His eyes were on the Spear of Destruction in front of him.
"Annihilative power…"
In the Leviathan's billions of years of memories, Lin Feng saw the Leviathan destroy the world where it was born step by step. When it "transitioned" to a planetary lifeform, it devoured its home planet.
This was really cruel. The planet that gave birth to a planetary lifeform was ultimately devoured by the planetary lifeform, turned into energy to support the "transition" of the planetary lifeform.
However, the universe was cold and dark to begin with, and incomparably cruel.
Later on, the Leviathan witnessed many cosmic catastrophes when wandering the universe, such as the collapse of stars, cosmic storms, the destruction of galaxies, and so on. It had even seen black holes.
The annihilation of a planet was nothing, nor was the annihilation of a star. However, the cosmic catastrophe formed from the destruction of a massive galaxy in an instant was truly stunning.
That kind of annihilation, that kind of annihilative power, was simply far too powerful compared to the Spear of Destruction.
Lin Feng was not the Leviathan. He did not need to follow his instincts. He was a cosmic cultivator. Hence, after fusing the billions of years' worth of memories of the Leviathan, he came to a realization.
He had never fused the Spear of Destruction before, and could not even control it.
But now, he had vaguely understood the true meaning of annihilative power.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng suddenly reached out and grabbed the Spear of Destruction. He aimed it directly at his chest and stabbed hard.
Boom.
The annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction erupted in a frenzy. Lin Feng's combat body was instantly destroyed by the annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction.
However, Lin Feng still had the life core!
As a large amount of energy from the life core surged into Lin Feng's combat body, he began to "capture" a portion of the annihilative power in his body, vaguely forming an Annihilative Origin in his body!
However, Lin Feng's combat body was too weak in the face of the annihilative power. His combat body had to be stronger to completely form the Annihilative Origin in his body, and fuse the Spear of Destruction.
In other words, Lin Feng had to undergo three life transitions!
"Life transition?"
Lin Feng closed his eyes. He carefully experienced the billions of years of memories of the Leviathan in his mind. Back when he was fusing the memory fragments, he already faced no resistance to three life transitions.
In that case, he no longer hesitated.
Boom.
Circulating the Combat Body Guidance Technique, Lin Feng's body began to expand rapidly.
At the same time, the life core in Lin Feng's body shook violently. Traces of cracks appeared on it like spiderwebs, as if it was about to collapse.
Bang.
As expected, the huge life core shattered. The scarlet crystal transformed into a massive amount of energy that surged into Lin Feng's body.
Even though this was only one percent of the Leviathan's life core, and even though a portion of its energy had been absorbed by the Spear of Destruction previously, Lin Feng was only undergoing the third life transition. To him, this power was simply too great.
Hence, the Combat Body Guidance Technique circulated in a frenzy. Lin Feng's combat body began to expand, but this expansion was not very comfortable for Lin Feng. This was because every expansion was the constant division of billions of cells.
Normally, cell division from an ordinary creature's metabolism might not result in any pain. However, this was splitting again and again in a very short period of time. The pain was rather unbearable.
As his cells divided rapidly, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body also expanded rapidly.
Two hundred and sixty meters, three hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters, four hundred meters…
The speed at which Lin Feng's combat body was expanding was simply too fast. Lin Feng cultivated the Combat Body Guidance Technique, so he also knew that under normal circumstances, for lifeforms below planetary lifeforms, every life transition would increase the size of the combat body by almost ten times!
Hence, Lin Feng's combat body continued to expand.
Five hundred meters, six hundred meters, seven hundred meters, eight hundred meters…
This underground river was simply too deep. Even though Lin Feng's combat body had reached more than a thousand meters, he had yet to reach the top.
As Lin Feng's combat body continued to expand, the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction seemed to have detected something, and was shaking slightly.
The cells in Lin Feng's body were constantly annihilated and regrouped, eventually forming a vortex.
It was a vortex completely formed from annihilative power!
"The Annihilative Origin is complete!"
Lin Feng was overjoyed. A vortex had formed in his body, a vortex completely formed from annihilative power. Moreover, the vortex seemed to have fused with Lin Feng's combat body.
Lin Feng gripped the Spear of Destruction with both hands and stabbed hard.
Thump.
Finally, the Spear of Destruction completely entered Lin Feng's body. A large amount of annihilative power was quickly absorbed by the Annihilative Origin. The Annihilative Origin expanded further, and devoured the Spear of Destruction at one go.
Strangely enough, when the Spear of Destruction entered the Annihilative Origin, it was as if the spear was nourished. The annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction gradually fused with the Annihilative Origin.
"How miraculous. So this is annihilative power."
Lin Feng extended his palm. A strange power had appeared in his palm at some point. Although there was only a small trace of it, it contained a terrifyingly destructive power.
This was the annihilative power. Lin Feng had spent a lot of effort to finally condense the Annihilative Origin, and use it to control the Spear of Destruction.
However, this was just control. He was still very far from completely fusing the Spear of Destruction. Moreover, every time he used the annihilative power, it would be depleted. He had no way of replenishing it at the moment.
Only the Origin could replenish an Origin Weapon. If the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction was exhausted, it would no longer be an Origin Weapon, but just a relatively sharp ordinary spear.
Even so, Lin Feng could finally temporarily control the Spear of Destruction. It could be used as a trump card to unleash a fatal blow at a critical moment.
As Lin Feng fused with the Spear of Destruction, his Tidal Combat Body continued to expand without any signs of stopping.
One thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters…
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's combat body had reached 3,000 meters!
After it reached 3,000 meters, Lin Feng's combat body finally stopped expanding. The Tidal Combat Body that was three kilometers in height represented that Lin Feng had undergone a true qualitative metamorphosis!
"So this is three life transitions. The sublimation of life is simply wonderful!"
Lin Feng was very willing to immerse himself in this feeling. Three life transitions. Even for martial artists, that meant becoming Meta-divine martial artists. In ancient times, they were the kings among deities!
Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body, on the other hand, provided a more direct feeling. The Tidal Combat Body that had reached three kilometers in size possessed strength that had increased to a terrifying level.
If one must compare it to the previous second life transition, it would be an enhancement of at least ten times!
"Longbetham, how long have I been underground?"
Lin Feng also felt that it was time to go out. He wanted to ask Longbetham about it.
However, after asking in his mind, Longbetham did not give any response.

Chapter 323: Going Too Far!
"Longbetham?"
Lin Feng tried to contact Longbetham again, but there was no response.
Only then did he remember that earlier in the underground river, after he detonated the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction, even his own Tidal Combat Body was destroyed, let alone a mere communicator.
Without the communicator, Longbetham naturally could not contact Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng was not too worried. Longbetham was a mechanical lifeform, and only a portion of its consciousness had entered the communicator, which could be transmitted to the network at any time.
Without the communicator, Longbetham would definitely be fine. Lin Feng only needed to go out and get a new communicator. When the time came, Longbetham would naturally appear.
"It's time to go out. I wonder how much time has passed outside…"
Lin Feng had nothing on him now. Everything on his body had been destroyed by the annihilative power, leaving only the Spear of Destruction and the huge life core fragment.
As for the six life core fragments from before, they were all reduced to dust as well.
Lin Feng did not know how much time had passed. He had been immersed in his memories for too long. He did not want to go out to realize that a few years or even decades had passed.
"Eh? It seems to be sealed."
Lin Feng gradually shrank his body. When he flew up, he realized that he had already reached the top. There were countless hard rocks piled up above. This space had become completely sealed.
"Perhaps the grotto collapsed."
Lin Feng instantly thought of a possibility. The Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead were originally built underground. Now that the grotto had collapsed, he wound up buried underground.
Lin Feng vaguely felt that the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead might be related to the first civilization. Otherwise, how could the life core of a planetary lifeform appear?
As for the Demon Emperor Mo and the Demon Emperor Millipede, the reason why the two demon emperors had been staying in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragon Head was probably because they knew that there were life cores here. In fact, those life core fragments were most likely how they could become demon emperors.
Unfortunately, the largest life core fragment had been obtained by Lin Feng instead, and had benefited Lin Feng!
"Tidal Combat Body!"
Lin Feng deployed the Tidal Combat Body in an instant. Immediately, his body expanded rapidly like a balloon, expanding to three kilometers tall, like a real mountain.
"Break!"
Lin Feng growled. He had only thrown a casual punch. Immediately, the entire ground seemed to shake. As he threw a punch, countless rocks collapsed, and a terrifying force surged towards the sky.
Boom.
About ten kilometers away from the original Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead, it was as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred, and the mountains collapsed.
Countless rocks suddenly soared into the sky and exploded completely at once, like a volcanic eruption. However, there was no scorching magma.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"Or a demon emperor?"
Originally, a team of Divine Realm martial artists from the Grotto Base was stationed in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. They were ordered to be stationed here to search through the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead.
Due to the tectonic movement, the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead had already disappeared. No one knew where it had been transferred to. The Invincible Fist Sage had specially left this team behind. He had never given up on searching through the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead and finding Lin Feng's corpse. Even if there was only a trace of hope, the Invincible Fist Sage did not want to give up.
But now, this team found that a violent earthquake had broken out ten kilometers away. They could sense it clearly even from here. Hence, they quickly flew towards the location of the earthquake.
Ten kilometers was nothing to Divine Realm martial artists. When they arrived, the earth and the mountains shook. The earthquake had already exceeded magnitude 10.
Moreover, it was as if a force was reviving from below.
"Everyone, be careful. If it's a demon emperor, escape immediately!"
The numerous Divine Realm martial artists were very cautious. They knew very well that there were two demon emperors in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. This was also the reason the Grotto Base was guarding this area.
Boom.
There was another violent tremor. Then, the ground cracked, revealing a huge cave entrance. Countless rocks flew out of the cave, filling the sky with huge rocks that fell to the ground.
Under the gaze of all the Divine Realm martial artists, an incomparably huge mountain-like giant slowly flew out of the cave. They tensed as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Are you martial artists from the Grotto Base?"
Suddenly, this giant spoke, surprising this group of Divine Realm martial artists.
Then, the giant slowly shrank, until it became about the size of an ordinary person. These Divine Realm martial artists' eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sage… Sage Lin Feng!"
"Sage Lin Feng, you're alive?"
"This is wonderful. You're alive. Hurry up and inform Lord Invincible Fist Sage."
The news of Lin Feng's death in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead had already spread throughout the world. Everyone lamented the death of this young Sage with boundless future prospects.
Who would have thought that Lin Feng was alive?
Seeing these people's surprised expressions, Lin Feng frowned and said, "All of you thought I was dead? Did a long time pass?"
Lin Feng was really a little nervous. When he was fusing part of the Leviathan's memories, it felt like the actual passage of billions of years. Now that he had seen the light of day again, the events before felt like those from a previous life. He was genuinely afraid that if dozens or hundreds of years had passed in an instant, he would have let too many people down.
"Sage Lin Feng, it's been more than three months since your accident at the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead."
"Over three months?"
Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it had only been three months or so. That extreme situation had not occurred. Otherwise, he really would not know what to do.
"The Invincible Fist Sage is at the Grotto Base, right?"
"Yes, we've already informed Lord Invincible Fist Sage."
"All right, I'll leave first."
Lin Feng's figure flashed, and he flew into the sky like a rocket. He transformed into a stream of light that headed straight for the Grotto Base.
Boom.
Lin Feng descended from the sky. The Invincible Fist Sage had already received the news. He looked incredibly excited when he actually saw Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng… It's really you!"
For over three months, the Invincible Fist Sage had been feeling terribly guilty.
However, he did not expect Lin Feng to still be alive. He honestly did not know how to describe his feelings at this moment. Even a dignified Sage like him was trembling with excitement.
"It's really you, Sage Lin Feng!"
"Heaven really favors the worthy. Everyone thought that Sage Lin Feng had died. Who'd have expected him to still be alive?"
"Hmph, Sage Batai pushed the League of Guardians around so hard previously. Let's see what Sage Batai has to say once Sage Lin Feng returns."
The martial artists in the Grotto Base were also very excited, and even somewhat united against a common enemy. After all, the Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Batai had fought. Currently, the academic faction and the consortium faction had completely fallen out. They practically could not tolerate each other at all, and they had a poor impression of Sage Batai.
"Dean, can you give me a communicator? It's been more than three months. My family must be very worried. Qu Chen must also be very anxious."
Lin Feng could not wait to contact his family and Qu Chen.
The Invincible Fist Sage's expression dimmed slightly. He had always felt guilty towards Lin Feng regarding the League of Guardians. Now that he was facing Lin Feng directly, he felt even more guilty and did not know how to explain.
At this moment, the Invincible Fist Sage received a message.
"Batai, you're going too far!"
A trace of anger appeared on the Invincible Fist Sage's face.
"Dean, what's Sage Batai doing?"
Lin Feng's expression did not change as he hurriedly asked. His intuition told him that something major had happened. Otherwise, why would the Invincible Fist Sage be so angry?
"Lin Feng, come with me quickly. Go to your League of Guardians!"
"The League of Guardians?"
Lin Feng's expression changed, but there was no time for the Invincible Fist Sage to explain. He immediately led Lin Feng and boarded their respective airships. They quickly took off and left the Grotto Base.

Chapter 324: I'm Back!
In the League of Guardians, after more than ten days of repair through everyone's concerted efforts, and with the help of the robots, the League of Guardians Headquarters was finally rebuilt.
However, there was still a lot of rubble around the headquarters. They seemed to be a silent reminder to everyone that the earth-shattering battle between Sages had occurred here.
There were still 108 official members in the League of Guardians. They had all taken the initiative to stay.
At this moment, the 108 official members were all gathered in the hall of the League of Guardians Headquarters. They glared at the dozen or so martial artists in the hall.
These dozen or so martial artists, led by three martial artists, were all Meta-divine Realm martial artists from the consortium faction.
Their goal for this trip was very simple. It was to "forcefully purchase" the energy weapons and those armed robots from the League of Guardians.
"Qu Chen, you already know the resolution of the Conference of Sages. Do not make things difficult for us. We are also here on the orders of Sage Batai!"
Qu Chen gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
Sage Batai had really gone too far. Moreover, the resolution of the Conference of Sages had also disappointed Qu Chen.
The Conference of Sages had agreed to Sage Batai's suggestion. The five major factions could purchase some energy weapons and the technology of the armed robots from the League of Guardians.
And now, Sage Batai's consortium faction had already sent people to demand Qu Chen to hand over the manufacturing technology for energy weapons.
Wasn't this going too far?
"We will naturally abide by the resolution of the Conference of Sages. We can sell the energy weapons you want, but we cannot sell the energy weapons technology! This is the bottom line of our League of Guardians!" Qu Chen gritted her teeth and replied firmly.
If they only sold energy weapons and armed robots, even if the League of Guardians lost the Guardian, it would at least still have some basic industries.
However, if they sold the technology, it would mean that even these two basic industries would be lost. What would be left of the League of Guardians?
Sage Batai was clearly trying to shut down the League of Guardians completely!
Moreover, practically no one had actually mastered the production technology of energy weapons and the manufacturing technology of armed robots. The reason why the League of Guardians could manufacture them was entirely because the League of Guardians controlled the production line left behind by the third civilization.
And that complicated energy conversion system was the key!
Qu Chen also knew very well that these few things were the foundation of the League of Guardians, and absolutely could not be lost. Hence, her attitude was very assertive!
"Your consortium faction is going too far!"
"Our League of Guardians is not afraid of you."
"We're all martial artists, but are the actions of your consortium faction still worthy of martial artists?"
"Even if we die, we will never allow you to strut around the League of Guardians!"
The 108 official members of the League of Guardians were not afraid of the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists from the consortium faction at all.
The current League of Guardians and consortium faction were already at odds with each other. There was no room for reconciliation.
"Qu Chen, this is an order from Sage Batai. Hence, we cannot disobey it. If you insist on not giving it to us, we can only search for it ourselves!"
A sharp glint flashed across the eyes of the three Meta-divine martial artists. This was also what Sage Batai had instructed. It was not convenient for Sage Batai to come forward personally now, but there were many experts in his consortium faction.
The current power of the League of Guardians consisted of only 108 official members, and they were all Metamorphic Realm martial artists. There was not even a single Divine Realm martial artist. Moreover, without the Guardian, how could Qu Chen resist the consortium faction?
"You want to take it by force? Aren't you afraid of retribution from the Sages?" Qu Chen shouted sternly.
"We only obey Sage Batai's orders. So, sorry!"
The three Meta-divine Realm martial artists waved their hands, and the dozen or so Divine Realm martial artists behind them immediately pressed forward. However, the 108 martial artists of the League of Guardians did not retreat. Instead, they glared and prepared to fight.
Qu Chen's face was ashen. She had already been very tenacious during this period of time. For the sake of the League of Guardians and Lin Feng's hard work, she vowed to protect the League of Guardians, just as Lin Feng had protected her in the past.
However, she was already mentally and physically exhausted. She hadn't even broken the genetic lock, and the aura of the Meta-divine Realm martial artists alone wasn't enough. She took a few steps back and was supported by Bai Jing.
Against three Metamorphic Realm martial artists and a dozen or so Divine Realm martial artists, even if she had not broken the genetic lock, she knew that the League of Guardians had almost no chance of winning.
"Activate the defense mechanism!"
Qu Chen gritted her teeth and immediately used her authority to activate the defense mechanism.
Immediately, the Annihilation Cannon locked onto the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists.
"Huh?"
The expressions of the three Meta-divine martial artists changed slightly. They actually sensed a trace of threat. It had to be known that they were distinguished Meta-divine martial artists, powerful martial artists second only to Sages. In ancient times, they would even be the kings of deities!
The League of Guardians no longer had the Guardian. What else could make them feel threatened?
Qu Chen was also very nervous. It was true that the League of Guardians had already lost the Guardian, but the Annihilation Cannon had deterred those Meta-divine Realm martial artists back then.
However, as the Spear of Destruction was taken by Lin Feng, the current Annihilation Cannon no longer had any annihilative power. At most, it only had a large number of energy modules.
The Annihilation Cannon could only be called an energy cannon.
Even so, the Annihilation Cannon could still pose a certain degree of threat to Meta-divine martial artists. Right now, in the entire League of Guardians, only the Annihilation Cannon could threaten Meta-divine martial artists slightly.
"Attack!"
Without any hesitation, the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists actually attacked directly. The Annihilation Cannon had already locked onto the three of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying beams of destructive light spewed out instantly, carrying the power to annihilate everything.
"Ahhh, Divine Kingdom, resist it!"
The three Meta-divine Realm martial artists were flabbergasted. Even without annihilative power, the Annihilation Cannon was still a terrifying energy weapon that could blast apart Astral Power and injure Divine Realm martial artists.
The three of them immediately deployed their Divine Kingdoms. For a moment, a violent Astral Power Field wreaked havoc in the League of Guardians Headquarters. Three terrifying energy bolts blasted fiercely into the Divine Kingdoms of the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists.
The Divine Kingdoms were ravaged, but that was all. In the end, the Annihilation Cannon no longer had the annihilative power. Otherwise, forget about the Divine Kingdom of a Meta-divine Realm martial artist, even the Divine Kingdom of a Sage would be blasted through by a single shot.
"We resisted it!"
Cold sweat broke out on the bodies of the three Meta-divine martial artists. It was just too frightening just now. They really thought that the Annihilation Cannon could tear apart their Divine Kingdoms.
In their anger born of humiliation, the three Meta-divine Realm martial artists no longer held back.
"Anyone who obstructs us will be punished with crimes against humanity and killed without mercy!"
Qu Chen's face turned pale, and tears flowed silently down her beautiful face.
"Lin Feng, I tried my best, but I still failed to protect your hard work…"
Qu Chen had already given all she had. She was mentally exhausted, but in the face of overwhelming strength, any effort from her was futile.
At this moment, she even thought of death.
Since she could not protect Lin Feng's hard work and the League of Guardians, she would die. She was so tired. She'd rather go to the other world. Perhaps there, she could see Lin Feng again…
"Bastard! Who dares to attack?"
Buzz.
An even more vast and majestic power descended. Endless flames blazed, and it was as if the entire League of Guardians had turned into a world of fire.
"Lord Invincible Fist Sage!"
Qu Chen heard Zhang Qiji's excited shout clearly.
"Is the Invincible Fist Sage here?"
Qu Chen slowly opened her eyes, only to realize that everyone's expressions seemed to have frozen. The entire noisy hall became incomparably quiet.
"Chenchen, I'm back!"
Suddenly, a low and gentle voice echoed in Qu Chen's ears…

Chapter 325: Killed Without Mercy!
"I'm back!"
Qu Chen looked at the familiar face in front of her. Words suddenly escaped her. She only felt infinitely upset, and tears flowed down her face like a broken dam.
"I'm back. Everything is fine now!"
Lin Feng returned. He hugged Qu Chen like no one else was around, as if they were an ordinary couple.
However, no one disturbed them in the hall of the League of Guardians.
The 108 official members of the League of Guardians could not believe their eyes.
What did they see?
It was Sage Lin Feng. Sage Lin Feng had returned!
At this moment, they were beyond excited. They had stayed in the League of Guardians because they agreed with Lin Feng's ideal for the League of Guardians. Now that Lin Feng had returned, they had their backbone again!
"Sage, it's really Lord Sage!"
"Lord Sage isn't dead. Haha, I knew it. How could Lord Sage die so easily?"
"Our League of Guardians is saved!"
Compared to the excitement of the members of the League of Guardians, the dozen or so martial artists from the consortium faction felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Their bodies were incomparably cold.
However, they did not dare to say a word. They even held their breaths and stilled, afraid of alerting Lin Feng to their presence.
"Qiji, long time no see."
Lin Feng glanced at Zhang Qiji beside him. This brief greeting almost made Zhang Qiji cry.
"Brother Feng, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, Sister-in-law and I wouldn't have known how to hold out…"
At this moment, Qu Chen also stopped crying. She smiled through her tears and said, "Lin Feng, I'm useless. I couldn't protect the League of Guardians. Even the Guardian was taken by Sage Batai by force."
"You've done well enough! Leave the rest to me!"
Lin Feng turned around. His gaze was still very calm, but the calmer it was, the more the martial artists from the consortium faction trembled in fear.
"You talked about being killed without mercy?"
"Sage Lin Feng, we were just following orders. Since Sage is safe and sound, we will take our leave now."
How could these dozen or so martial artists dare to linger? That would just be courting death. They hurriedly wanted to leave.
"Do you know? The mission of the League of Guardians is to protect our family, our loved ones, and all of humanity! There can only be one outcome for those who dare to offend and harm our loved ones!"
Boom.
Lin Feng extended a hand. His palm instantly became incomparably huge, like a black cloud, as it whistled towards the dozen or so martial artists from the consortium faction.
"No, Sage Lin Feng, we were carrying out the resolution of the Conference of Sages. You can't kill us…"
Thud.
The more than a dozen Divine Realm martial artists and three Meta-divine Realm martial artists were all reduced to dust by Lin Feng's palm!
Everyone felt incomparably pleased, and even cheered. This was their leader, this was their Sage! The goal of the League of Guardians was to protect their family, loved ones, and all of humanity!
At this moment, Lin Feng personally showed all the members of the League of Guardians the true meaning of the League of Guardians' mission!
Those who dared to offend the people they protected would be killed without mercy!
'He's become stronger again!'
The Invincible Fist Sage saw that Lin Feng had killed more than ten martial artists with a single palm strike. There were even three Meta-divine Realm martial artists who could use the Divine Kingdom. Even a Sage would actually need some time to kill these three people.
However, in front of Lin Feng, they could not even resist for the span of a breath. They were crushed to death by Lin Feng like ants.
"Lin Feng, these people all took the initiative to stay. There are only 108 of them left."
Qu Chen introduced the 108 people to Lin Feng. Perhaps these people were all very weak, but they were the true backbone of the League of Guardians. Those who were willing to stick with the League of Guardians through thick and thin were all people who firmly believed in the mission of Lin Feng's League of Guardians!
"Thank you for staying!"
Lin Feng's gaze swept across these 108 people. He could sense their excitement.
What regrets could they possibly have for after being so highly valued by a Sage?
"Sage Lin Feng, haha, nicely done! However, the main culprit is Batai!"
Suddenly, the Invincible Fist Sage said with a laugh. The deaths of some Meta-divine Realm martial artists from the consortium faction might have been a significant matter in the past, when the five major factions were still maintaining harmony.
But now?
If the League of Guardians was added to the five major human factions, that would make six major factions! Actually, the six major factions had already become publicly divided over the matter of Lin Feng.
The Invincible Fist Sage hated Batai to the bone, and also developed a trace of killing intent!
The Invincible Fist Sage was not Sage Kang. He did not have to consider the "greater good". He only knew that Batai was not worthy of being a Sage!
"That's right, there's still the main culprit!"
Lin Feng's gaze remained very calm, and a smile appeared on his lips.
However, it was this calm expression that made everyone shudder.
It was as if brewing beneath his calm expression was an emotion even more terrifying than a volcano on the brink of eruption.
"Lin Feng, you're leaving?"
Qu Chen was a little reluctant. She was really afraid that Lin Feng would disappear again, and she'd receive bad news again. She did not want to endure this feeling a second time.
"I'm just going to do what I need to do, Chenchen. Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
Lin Feng took a deep breath, then took a step forward.
"Lin Feng, wait for me…"
The Invincible Fist Sage was also filled with killing intent as he immediately caught up to Lin Feng.
Zhang Qiji said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Brother Feng never does anything he's not confident in. Moreover, the Invincible Fist Sage is following him. Let's just wait for the good news."
Qu Chen nodded. Lin Feng's return was her greatest joy. However, she knew that this was a matter between Sages, and not something she could interfere in.
In that case, she would choose to trust Lin Feng!
…
In the void, an airship passed through the barren Outland like a stream of light.
"Lin Feng, there's a call request from Sage Kang."
The Invincible Fist Sage wore a complicated expression. Just now, Sage Kang had received the news at the soonest opportunity, and contacted the Invincible Fist Sage immediately.
Even though the Invincible Fist Sage also wanted to kill Batai, he was really a little shaken by Sage Kang's words. After all, Lin Feng was not dead, and there were still ten Sages among humans!
Lin Feng kept his eyes closed and said calmly, "Dean, you once said that Sage Kang's greater good is not the greater good for everyone."
"Yes, I've said that, but…"
The Invincible Fist Sage hesitated.
"Dean, do you remember any occasion when a Sage of humanity had fallen?"
The Invincible Fist Sage looked at Lin Feng, who was speaking in a calm tone. He appeared like a dormant volcano.
He understood. Hence, he hung up the communicator and even switched it off. No one could call in.
Sages were the pillars of humanity. Ever since the birth of Sages, not a single Sage had fallen.
Perhaps it had been too long, and the Sages had become arrogant, too.
So be it. Since rage had already been ignited, it could only be extinguished with blood!

Chapter 326: Death of a Sage!
Golden Mountain City!
In the depths of the Outland, near one of the Four Forbidden Places, lay the Tashakur Desert.
This place was desolate and filled with dire beasts. There were even demon emperors. It was rumored that there were many ruins of ancient civilizations buried beneath the Tashakur Desert.
The consortium faction was overseeing the Tashakur Desert. Among them, Sage Batai was personally overseeing Golden Mountain City. This also ensured the peace in the area of a thousand miles surrounding Golden Mountain City.
There was no common consensus regarding whether there were any ancient civilization ruins under the Tashakur Desert, but the purpose of the consortium faction's emplacement was not those ancient civilization ruins, but the gold mines!
There were many gold mines in the Tashakur Desert, which accounted for almost 60% of all the gold of humanity. An innumerable amount of gold was produced here every year, and the quality was very high.
The consortium faction was guarding the Tashakur Desert purely for wealth.
Sage Batai had taken the initiative to oversee the Tashakur Desert back then for the gold mines as well. As for the dire beasts and even demon emperors in the Tashakur Desert, Sage Batai merely intimidated them incidentally.
This was how Golden Mountain City got its name!
The most magnificent, spectacular, and luxurious manor in Golden Mountain City was called the Sage Manor.
The Sage Manor was where Sage Batai resided.
In the Sage Manor, there was a huge robot over a hundred meters tall standing guard at all times. Sometimes, as some martial artists in the manor walked past the robot, there would be a trace of excitement in their eyes.
This was a robot with the combat power of a Sage. Sage Batai had forcibly taken it from the League of Guardians.
Not only did the martial artists in the manor not feel ashamed, they were all incomparably proud.
Sage Batai had indeed been very cozy recently. However, as his communicator rang, his expression darkened slightly when he saw the disordered and unfamiliar code on the communicator.
"Where is my Spear of Destruction?"
Sage Batai looked at the message on his communicator. He knew that it was the mysterious Night Devil.
"Lin Feng took the Spear of Destruction. You're so well-informed. Don't tell me you don't know that?"
"Of course I know. I also know of certain petty thoughts you are harboring. You must be very satisfied and pleased with yourself right now, no? Heh, poor man. I do hope I can still hear of your survival tomorrow."
"Enjoy your last moment of relaxation…"
Seeing the message on his communicator, Sage Batai's heart sank.
Could it be that he had angered the mysterious man, and the mysterious man was preparing to attack him?
However, on careful thought, it seemed somewhat unlikely. The mysterious person had always been hiding in the dark, and had even created a malignant organization like the "Night Devil".
The other party had hidden for so long. How could he expose himself so easily?
Since the mysterious man would not come to kill him, what did the mysterious man mean? Was it blackmail? A threat?
Sage Batai did not think that the other party would engage in such pointless moves.
Sage Batai thought through the possibilities carefully. He thought of the Invincible Fist Sage. Currently, the only person who had the ability to kill him was the Invincible Fist Sage.
However, would the Invincible Fist Sage really start a civil war among humanity? It had to be known that Sage Batai had a robot with the combat power of a Sage. Even if the Invincible Fist Sage brought the two other Sages from the academic faction, Sage Batai was confident that he could hold out for a period of time.
At that time, Sage Kang would definitely arrive. For the greater good, how could Sage Kang bear to watch the Sages of humanity fight among themselves?
"Hmph, don't let me find out who you are, or else…"
Sage Batai threw his communicator aside and drank his wine in satisfaction, enjoying the sunlight in the Golden Mountain City. What a comfortable life. It would be even better if he could undergo five life transitions.
Rumble.
Suddenly, the entire Golden Mountain City seemed to be shaking.
At the same time, a loud voice entered Sage Batai's ears.
"Batai, come out and die!"
"Who is it?"
Batai's eyes flew open in fury. He was a dignified Sage. Who would dare to be so insolent?
…
The peaceful Golden Mountain City had its peace broken at this moment.
An airship flew over from the distant horizon, and then, two figures walked out of the airship.
One of the figures descended into the forest outside the Sage Manor and shouted, "Batai, come out and die!"
This voice spread throughout the entire Golden Mountain City.
"Who dares to be so rude to Sage Batai?"
"This young man looks a little familiar, but I know the person beside him. He's the Invincible Fist Sage!"
"I remember now. Isn't that the youngest Sage of humanity, Sage Lin Feng?"
"Sage Lin Feng? What kind of grudge can a young Sage like him hold against Sage Batai?"
"This is serious. Something big must be going on!"
Seeing Lin Feng appear, the people of Golden Mountain City were all very surprised. They had almost never seen open conflicts between Sages.
These people naturally did not know about Lin Feng's death. Although Lin Feng had died, the Sages had yet to announce the news publicly. After all, the death of a Sage had too great an impact.
Boom.
Suddenly, the sky turned azure. Waves roiled perpetually all around.
Sage Batai walked out of the Sage Manor step by step.
However, the moment he saw Lin Feng, his eyes suddenly stilled.
"Lin Feng?"
That was Lin Feng. Sage Batai could not be mistaken. There was no fluctuation of Astral Power from Lin Feng's body, but Lin Feng was not suppressed at all within his Divine Kingdom of Heavy Waters.
Only Lin Feng, who had the combat power of a Sage, could accomplish it!
Although he did not know why Lin Feng was not dead, Sage Batai did not intend to get to the bottom of it. It was already a fact that Lin Feng was still alive.
"Lin Feng, are you here to ask for the robot?"
The way he saw it, Lin Feng must have come here to ask for the robot. Moreover, he was with the Invincible Fist Sage. Lin Feng was clearly trying to suppress Batai with power.
Batai was even prepared to secretly contact Sage Claus. He and Claus had always been in close contact. Claus also had a lot against the academic faction. They had long become allies and advanced and retreated as one.
At that time, when Claus arrived, even if Lin Feng had the help of the Invincible Fist Sage, what could they do?
Lin Feng looked at Sage Batai. His gaze even landed on the Guardian in the manor.
Everything was clear!
"No, I'm not here to ask for the Guardian."
Lin Feng extended his hand. His tone was indifferent, but his eyes were like bright stars, becoming incredibly dazzling all of a sudden.
"I'm here to kill you!"
Boom.
Lin Feng's body expanded instantly. A hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters…
In the span of a few breaths, Lin Feng's body had already expanded to three kilometers!
The Tidal Combat Body completely erupted. He reached out and smacked down, even enveloping Sage Batai's manor.
At this moment, the world was in upheaval!
At this moment, the sky dimmed!
At this moment, mountains and earth crumbled apart!
"Divine Kingdom of Heavy Waters!"
Sage Batai's expression changed drastically. Sensing the dreadful pressure from Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body, his face was almost completely red as he roared hysterically.
In the Divine Kingdom, infinite heavy water condensed into a giant. It did not look much inferior to Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body.
In the Divine Kingdom, Sages were omnipotent. Forget about condensing a heavy water giant three kilometers in height, even a heavy water giant of 30 kilometers would be nothing. The Astral Power was entirely capable of supporting it.
However, that was just for show!
Rumble.
Lin Feng's large hand pressed down. Every drop of heavy water was incredibly heavy. Even the Invincible Fist Sage was extremely wary.
But so what?
In front of Lin Feng's huge palm, it collapsed instantly like paper.
The Tidal Combat Body, which was three kilometers in height, erupted at full force. Lin Feng did not know how formidable its strength was, but at this moment, his heart was calm, and there was only overwhelming killing intent. It transformed into this huge palm like a world-annihilating deity.
"How can this be? Impossible…"
The giant palm pressed down, and the Divine Kingdom of Heavy Waters collapsed inch by inch. The Astral Force Field was directly torn apart and reduced to nothing. Sage Batai could only watch helplessly as the giant palm descended and pressed down on his body.
Thud.
What Astral Power? What Divine Kingdom? Everything seemed so futile at this moment.
Sage Batai did not let out a single scream before he was crushed into a bloody mist by the terrifying giant palm and blasted apart. However, the giant palm took the opportunity to descend, enveloping the entire Sage Manor.
Boom.
The giant hand disappeared, and the Sage Manor was razed to the ground. Everything in the Sage Manor was rent apart. Even the robot that Sage Batai had not been able to summon in time were also shattered by this palm strike.
At this moment, even the Invincible Fist Sage's eyes widened in shock.
With a single palm strike, a Sage was dead!

Chapter 327: Diverging Ideals
Swoosh.
Seeing that the Sage Manor had been razed to the ground in an instant, and not even Sage Batai's corpse remained, all the martial artists, businessmen, and so on in the Golden Mountain City knelt on the ground and pleaded to Lin Feng.
The wrath of a Sage could rend apart the world and destroy cities with extreme ease. If Sage Lin Feng took his anger out on the entire Golden Mountain City in a fit of rage, none of them could escape this calamity.
Lin Feng swept his gaze and saw that everyone in the Golden Mountain City was kneeling on the ground. Be it martial artists or ordinary people, they were like ants before the power of a Sage, unable to resist at all.
At this moment, everyone clearly realized how terrifying the power of a Sage was!
Swoosh.
At some point, an airship flew over from the distant sky. An old man stepped out of the airship.
"Sage Lin Feng, Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Batai, stop!"
The old man was Sage Kang. Ever since the Invincible Fist Sage hung up on his call request, he had a bad premonition. Hence, he immediately took an airship and rushed to Golden Mountain City as soon as possible.
Fortunately, he did not seem to be too late.
Sage Kang saw the Invincible Fist Sage and Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng had already returned to his normal size. The Invincible Fist Sage did not emit any Astral Power either. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Sage Invincible, Sage Lin Feng, please stop. We can discuss anything at the Conference of Sages. Where's Sage Batai?"
Only then did Sage Kang notice that the surroundings seemed a little off.
Sage Kang knew about the Sage Manor in Golden Mountain City, but now, the Sage Manor was in ruins, and Sage Batai had disappeared.
"Elder Kang, you're too late. Batai is already dead!"
The Invincible Fist Sage said with a weak smile. Even if he wanted to kill Sage Batai, it was just a thought. He was on par with Sage Batai, and neither could do anything to the other. Even in a life-or-death battle, they would probably tie with each other.
However, with a single palm strike from Lin Feng, Batai was dead! Even he was deeply stunned.
"Batai is dead?"
Sage Kang seemed to be in disbelief. How could Sage Batai be dead? Even if Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage joined forces, it was impossible for them to kill Sage Batai.
Ever since Sages were born to humanity, not a single Sage had fallen.
But now, Batai was dead. Just like when he received the news of Lin Feng's death, Sage Kang was dumbfounded.
"Look, that pool of blood is Batai's."
The Invincible Fist Sage pointed at an inconspicuous pool of blood in the ruins of the Sage Manor below. Not even the corpse remained of the dignified Sage, and only a pool of blood was left behind.
Sage Kang looked at Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage with a complicated and desolate expression.
Dead. Sage Batai was dead. The first fallen Sage in human history had come to be. As someone who was dedicated to the "greater good" of the entire humanity, Sage Kang could not be happy about it, no matter what.
He was even faintly angered.
"Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Lin Feng, you're both Sages. Can't you consider the greater good?"
There was already a trace of anger in Sage Kang's voice.
The Invincible Fist Sage frowned, but did not say anything.
Lin Feng's gaze was indifferent. He suddenly pointed at everyone in Golden Mountain City and said calmly, "Sage Kang, look at these people kneeling on the ground. What do they take us for?
"Gods? Or perhaps some great existence that rules over everything about them! Their lives and their everything are dominated by us, but does that mean we can be high and mighty and make decisions for them?
"No matter how weak they are, they all have their own ideas. They are all free lives! Sage Kang, your greater good is to sacrifice the interests of the minority and take care of the interests of the so-called majority. You can sacrifice countless people who are weak in your eyes for the sake of a Sage.
"Your greater good is different from mine! My greater good is to protect my family, my loved ones, and everyone!"
With that, Lin Feng paid Sage Kang no more heed, and flew straight for the ruined Sage Manor below.
The Invincible Fist Sage went past Sage Kang. He opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end.
The gulf had already appeared, and it was simply impossible to repair. Moreover, the Invincible Fist Sage agreed with Lin Feng. If he could not even protect the people around him, how could he protect others?
The so-called greater good was absolutely not about sacrificing some people to preserve others.
Looking at Lin Feng's figure, Sage Kang was thunderstruck. His expression became a little desolate.
All these years, taking care of the "greater good" had always been the foundation of his ideal. It was also for the "greater good" that he was able to establish the Conference of Sages, and was even willing to help other martial artists with potential.
However, for the "greater good", he was also willing to sacrifice those who were irrelevant in his eyes.
"Could I really be wrong?" Sage Kang muttered softly.
Perhaps he was not wrong, and neither was Lin Feng. However, their ideals were completely irreconcilable.
Those with diverging ideals must go their separate ways!
Sage Kang looked at the ruined Sage Manor and heaved a long sigh. Then, he turned around and left.
…
Lin Feng descended into the ruins of the Sage Manor. What was formerly the most magnificent, spectacular, and luxurious manor in Golden Mountain City was reduced to ruins with a palm strike from Lin Feng.
Even the Guardian, the robot with the combat power of a Sage, had become a pile of scrap metal.
It had to be known that back when Lin Feng had undergone his second life transition, he had even fought with the Guardian. The two parties were almost evenly matched. Now, this robot could not even withstand a single palm strike from Lin Feng.
Although it was a pity that the Guardian had become a pile of scrap metal, Lin Feng was not too upset. It was just a robot with the combat power of a Sage. It was actually not as useful as he had thought.
"Huh?"
Lin Feng reached out and grabbed a chip from the ruins. It was the control core of the Guardian.
"Batai is only a Sage, and not even a scientific expert. How can he easily crack the control core of the Guardian? Moreover, Longbetham had set some tricks in it."
What Lin Feng was concerned about was how Batai could take over the control core of the Guardian.
This was very strange. Apart from Longbetham, a mechanical life form from a high-level technological civilization in the universe, who else could take over the Guardian's control core with ease in such a short period of time?
This in itself was very strange.
Unfortunately, Longbetham was not around now. Otherwise, he could immediately get Longbetham to check what went wrong with the Guardian's control core.
There were not many things still intact in the ruins. Lin Feng scanned with his mental power and immediately found Sage Batai's room in the Sage Manor.
"A communicator?"
Lin Feng made a grab and found a communicator from the wreckage. From the unique symbol on it, it was clearly Sage Batai's communicator.
Fortunately, this communicator was not damaged at all. It could be considered a blessing amidst misfortunes.
However, next to the communicator was an exquisite badge that looked somewhat familiar. Lin Feng also took it.
"Huh?"
Seeing this badge, Lin Feng's expression changed abruptly.
"Night Devil!"

Chapter 328: Night Devil Badge
This badge was simple and unadorned, but its workmanship was exquisite, especially the two large words "Night Devil" in the middle.
Without a doubt, this was the Night Devil badge!
Lin Feng had once inquired about some rumors regarding the Night Devil. Most of the Night Devil comprised ordinary members, but only very few people could obtain a badge, which was the Night Devil badge.
Even Lin Feng did not know about the various benefits enjoyed by holders of the Night Devil badge. After all, there were very few martial artists with the Night Devil badge.
In the past, Lin Feng was intercepted by a few Meta-divine martial artists, who were all members of the Night Devil organization. After Lin Feng killed them, the Night Devil stopped making moves. Lin Feng also had a lot on his plate, so he did not continue investigating the Night Devil.
But now, he did not expect that Sage Batai was actually involved with the Night Devil!
"Impossible, impossible. How can Batai be a member of the Night Devil?"
The Invincible Fist Sage's expression changed drastically when he saw the badge in Lin Feng's hand. It was true that he had always been at odds with Batai, and had even developed killing intent before and engaged with Batai in a battle to the death at the League of Guardians Headquarters.
However, he never thought that Sage Batai could be a member of the Night Devil.
"Dean, how much do you know about the Night Devil organization?"
Lin Feng flipped about the Night Devil badge repeatedly as he asked in a low voice.
"Night Devil… This is a malignant organization! Sage Kang once united the strength of the Nine Sages and mobilized the five major factions to search for the Night Devil organization. They did capture many people, but those were all ordinary members. As for who the founder of the Night Devil organization is, we have no clue at all."
"The strongest Night Devil members we've ever captured were all Meta-divine Realm martial artists. But Batai, a dignified Sage, is a member of the Night Devil? How… unbelievable!"
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, the Invincible Fist Sage would never have believed it, no matter what.
A reputable Sage was actually a member of the Night Devil. This was too horrendous.
"Could Batai be the founder of the Night Devil?"
Lin Feng thought of a possibility. The strongest humans were the Nine Sages. Batai was one of the Nine Sages, and he had immense authority. If he was the founder, that would make sense.
Otherwise, if Batai was only a member of the Night Devil organization, the founder of the Night Devil organization would be truly terrifying.
"No, Batai is definitely not the founder of the Night Devil! Batai is the seventh martial artist to undergo four life transitions and become a Sage. Before that, the Night Devil was already very rampant. How could Batai, who had yet to become a Sage, have the ability to establish the Night Devil?"
Lin Feng nodded. The Night Devil organization was extremely mysterious although they had never conducted any public activities, and most of the members of the organization did not know each other's identities.
However, if without immense strength, concentrated resources, faction, and channels for obtaining intelligence, how could the Night Devil continue to develop and grow?
"Could the founder of the Night Devil be one of the Nine Sages? Or could it be that someone had become a Sage, but remained hidden?"
Lin Feng's interest in the Night Devil grew. A cold glint even appeared in his eyes.
Night Devil was very likely involved in Batai's siege on the League of Guardians.
Lin Feng would never tolerate people who threatened his family and loved ones!
And there's the communicator!
Lin Feng looked at the communicator in his hand. Although it looked a little battered, fortunately, the communicator was not too damaged.
When Lin Feng switched on the communicator, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He saw a strange string of code in the communicator. The message inside was not deleted either.
"Mysterious man!"
Lin Feng's expression gradually turned solemn, and there was even a hint of killing intent.
As expected, Sage Batai's siege on the League of Guardians was instigated by this mysterious person. It was definitely related to this mysterious person. In fact, this mysterious person was the culprit!
However, Lin Feng was very confused. The way this mysterious person lured Sage Batai was the secret of five life transitions. Currently, humanity only had Sages with four life transitions. How could there be five life transitions?
However, Batai believed it. This was very unusual. He did not believe that Batai was a fool who could not even distinguish this simple truth.
Something was amiss!
"Whether you are the founder of the Night Devil or not, since you tried to harm the people I want to protect, I will find you at all costs!"
A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.
There was a lot of content in the communicator, but there was very little information about the mysterious man. It seemed like both the mysterious man and Batai were very cautious.
However, the mysterious person had revealed that he wanted to obtain the Spear of Destruction. Other than Longbetham, Lin Feng had almost never told anyone about the Spear of Destruction. How did the mysterious person know about the Spear of Destruction?
"Longbetham…"
Lin Feng felt that things were becoming more and more complicated. These things seemed to be vaguely related to Longbetham. Everything pointed to Longbetham.
However, if Longbetham wanted the Spear of Destruction, there were plenty of opportunities.
At this thought, Lin Feng wanted to find Longbetham again.
Hence, he handed the communicator to the Invincible Fist Sage. Seeing that the Invincible Fist Sage's expression was becoming darker and darker, and even vaguely shocked, Lin Feng said in a solemn tone, "Dean, it looks like there really are some hidden talents among humanity. This mysterious person can use even Batai as a pawn. I'd really like to see who he is. Dean, I'll have to trouble you to look for any clues this mysterious person left behind in the message through technical means."
The Invincible Fist Sage's expression was solemn as he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely investigate thoroughly! I didn't expect the Night Devil to have extended its reach to the Sages. Is there anyone else among the Nine Sages who had become a Night Devil member?"
A trace of worry flashed across the Invincible Fist Sage's eyes.
In the past, both Sage Kang and he had treated the Night Devil as a chronic illness. Although it was a little troublesome, it did not actually damage the foundation of human society.
But now, it seemed like they had underestimated the Night Devil. If it could even infiltrate the Sages, what else could the Night Devil not do?
"Dean, there's no need to hold the Conference of Sages. Don't inform any other Sages either."
The Invincible Fist Sage also nodded with a solemn expression. Of course he knew what Lin Feng meant.
This mysterious person was very likely hiding among the Nine Sages. If word got out, it would alert the enemy.
Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage immediately contacted his trusted aide and began to urgently investigate the source of the mysterious person's signal.
Soon, the investigation results were out.
"Nothing? How can there be nothing?"
The Invincible Fist Sage's expression was very grim. The information he received from his subordinates showed that the results of the investigation were actually empty.
Lin Feng's expression, on the other hand, was calm. He had already expected this. If the mysterious person could be captured so easily, Batai would have investigated him thoroughly long ago.
However, from the message on the communicator, Sage Batai could also do nothing about the identity of the mysterious person.
"Dean, I'll return to the airship first."
Lin Feng bade farewell to the Invincible Fist Sage. Actually, he knew very well that if he wanted to investigate the mysterious person, he would probably have to rely on Longbetham's help!

Chapter 329: Found It!
Although Lin Feng had some suspicions about Longbetham, he chose to trust it more!
"Longbetham, if you receive the message, respond as soon as possible."
After Lin Feng returned to the airship, he logged into his Martial Domain Network account and sent a message.
This was Longbetham's virtual account. Only Lin Feng's Martial Domain Network account had this account. Even if others checked, they would not be able to find it. If Longbetham was really in the virtual network, it would definitely receive the news.
"Eh, it is really you? I just received news that a battle between Sages had occurred in Golden Mountain City. I guessed that was you."
Longbetham indeed reappeared. It appeared completely undamaged.
"You… have undergone three life transitions?"
"You even fused the Spear of Destruction?"
When Longbetham sized Lin Feng up carefully, its eyes widened in shock. For the first time, its tone revealed shock.
Back then, Longbetham did not think very highly of Lin Feng. Its evaluation of Lin Feng was three simple words—he was lucky!
But now, Lin Feng had undergone two life transitions in a row. In fact, he had undergone three life transitions in a short period of time. It had only been a few months since his second life transition.
Even by cosmic standards, having the third life transition in a few months was already the feat of a rare genius.
In particular, Lin Feng had actually fused the Spear of Destruction. This was even more incredible than his three life transitions.
"Longbetham, do you still remember the life core fragment? By chance, I fused the memories in the life core and used the life core. That's how I underwent the third life transition and temporarily condensed the Annihilative Origin, which barely allowed me to mobilize the Spear of Destruction."
Lin Feng had nothing much to hide from Longbetham. Moreover, Longbetham also knew about the life core fragment.
"You fused a life core fragment? That is already very impressive. The memories contained in a life core fragment have a terrifying impact. You, a mere lifeform with two life transitions, actually withstood the impact and even fused the memories in the life core. That is really… I cannot describe it anymore. This is no longer something that can be accomplished through pure luck. It seems that there are some things about you that even I cannot see through."
Longbetham sized Lin Feng up carefully again.
It wanted to know what secrets Lin Feng had. Why was he always able to create miracles? Even it had misjudged him.
Unfortunately, no matter how it looked at it, Lin Feng was still the same Lin Feng, plain and simple. He appeared ordinary, like most lifeforms in this world, and there was nothing special about him at all.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Longbetham had misjudged him.
"Three life transitions. If you can undergo four life transitions, you can accept Master's true legacy!"
Longbetham also seemed to have realized that Lin Feng might really be able to meet the basic conditions to obtain Master Bemond's legacy, and become Master's disciple!
At the thought of this, Longbetham's attitude towards Lin Feng changed slightly. Once Lin Feng became the Bemond's disciple and obtained the legacy, it would become Lin Feng's follower. It would assist Lin Feng for the rest of its life, and be bound together for good or ill.
"Longbetham, I need your help."
Lin Feng went straight to the point.
"What is it?"
Longbetham was somewhat "pragmatic". Now that Lin Feng really had the potential to undergo four life transitions, and might even become a planetary lifeform in the future, it gradually became "proactive".
"Look at the information in this communicator. I need you to find this mysterious person!"
Lin Feng handed Batai's communicator to Longbetham to check.
"By the way, there's also the control core of the Guardian! I don't know what method Batai used to take over the control core of the Guardian. I think it might also be the doing of this mysterious person."
Longbetham checked the messages in the communicator carefully, and its eyes gradually became solemn. It probably also realized the severity of this matter.
If even a Sage could be used as its pawn, this "Night Devil" was probably very unusual.
"Show me the intelligent core first."
Longbetham immediately entered the Guardian's intelligent core. Not long after, it emerged again, but its expression was a little strange.
"What did you find out?"
"I found a program. This little program was what took over the intelligent core of the Guardian. With your current level of technology, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to develop this program. Let me think carefully… If I'm not wrong, this should be a program of the third civilization."
"The third civilization?"
Lin Feng was a little surprised. The Guardian was the product of the third civilization, and was a war machine created by the third civilization. The program of the third civilization could naturally be used to control the Guardian.
But who could control the program of the third civilization?
Even if it's placed before human scientists and researched by them for ten years, it'd be impossible for them to understand it thoroughly, let alone use it to control the Guardian.
Unless the other party was a lifeform from the third civilization!
"Longbetham, is it possible that certain lifeforms of the third civilization survived until now through special methods?"
"Impossible!"
Longbetham's tone was resolute.
"The destruction of civilization is not as simple as you imagine. In short, if the third civilization was destroyed, it was completely annihilated. It is impossible for any lifeform to survive until now. However, do not worry, I will definitely help you find this mysterious person. When the time comes, the truth will naturally be revealed!"
Longbetham was vague and still refused to tell the reason for the destruction of its civilization. It seemed to be wary of something.
So, Longbetham entered the communicator. It analyzed the location of the message.
The technological methods of humans might only be able to find an empty number, but Longbetham was a mechanical lifeform in an advanced technological civilization. There were very few things in a technological civilization that it could not understand.
Longbetham continued to analyze the information of the mysterious person in the communicator. Its tracking methods were far beyond the current level of human technology.
"Interesting. It is really cunning. Using various concealment methods and even simulations, it can hide its specific signal in every corner of the world. Anywhere with a virtual network might be the hiding place of the mysterious person.
"This is Central Sea City? There are also Luo City, Jin City, and Dragonlith City?
"No, there are also many other Outland bases. This is… the Supreme Commanders' Department? The Conference of Sages?"
With every name Longbetham said, Lin Feng's expression became more solemn.
"However, these are all disguises. Watch me find your true signal source!"
This kind of concealment method was unheard of. It seemed to be a technological method of the ancient civilization. No wonder humans could not track it at all, and could not do anything to the Night Devil organization.
There was an unknown number of years of technological gap alone. How could they trace it?
However, Longbetham was different. It came from an advanced technological civilization, and furthermore, it was a mechanical lifeform. Tracking the signal was a piece of cake for Longbetham.
"Found it! But, how can it be there?"
Suddenly, Longbetham's voice became a little strange.
"Where is it?" Lin Feng hurriedly asked.
Longbetham glanced at Lin Feng, then said in a low voice, "The signal has appeared in the Myriad Academy!"

Chapter 330: Long Admired
"Myriad Academy?"
Lin Feng immediately thought of the Invincible Fist Sage. After all, the Invincible Fist Sage was the Dean of Myriad Academy.
However, the Invincible Fist Sage had been by Lin Feng's side all along today. How could he be the mysterious person?
"Longbetham, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"There is no mistake. Although he did it very secretly, and even used certain technology from the third civilization, in my eyes, this meager concealment is nothing. In terms of combat power, I might not be comparable to you, but in terms of technology, I do not think anyone in this world is stronger than I."
Longbetham said confidently. As a mechanical lifeform of a high-tech civilization, it did have such confidence.
"Myriad Academy…"
Lin Feng immediately informed the Invincible Fist Sage, "Dean, I found it!"
"Found it? Where?"
"Myriad Academy!"
The Invincible Fist Sage's eyes widened, and his expression instantly froze.
…
"Hurry. The speech will begin in ten minutes."
...
"Hurry up, hurry up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's rare for a legendary martial artist of our Myriad Academy to return to his alma mater. Such a speech is hard to come by."
"That goes without saying. Senior has such a distinguished status that even the Deputy Dean has to be respectful around him."
Many students were rushing to the academy square in the Myriad Academy.
All the students had excited and expectant expressions on their faces.
This was because the Myriad Academy would welcome a very important figure today, someone who was absolutely a heavyweight martial artist even in the history of the Myriad Academy—Dongfang Sheng!
The former Demon King, Dongfang Sheng, had always been a legend in the Myriad Academy. Even now, legends about the Demon King Dongfang Sheng were still circulating in the Myriad Academy.
If not for the appearance of the even more competitive Senior Lin Feng in the Myriad Academy later on, the legend of the Demon King would probably go on in the Myriad Academy.
Dongfang Sheng returned to his alma mater as a Meta-divine Realm martial artist who had broken the genetic lock three times. Naturally, he was the center of attention, and received enthusiastic reverence from the juniors of the Myriad Academy.
Most martial artists would not miss such an opportunity to listen to a young Meta-divine Realm martial artist's speech.
At this moment, the square of the Myriad Academy was already packed with people. Many students of the Myriad Academy had already filled the square.
These students were all professional martial artists, but some of the "teachers" who had broken the genetic lock also came to the square. Perhaps they were older than Dongfang Sheng, but in the path of martial arts, the accomplished came first. They also hoped to hear a Meta-divine martial artist's understanding of martial arts.
The seats on the stage of the square were already fully occupied by people. They were all the leaders of the Myriad Academy at every level. In the middle was the Deputy Dean, and beside him was a martial artist who appeared very young.
He was dressed in white and did not look very burly, but he had a transcendent bearing.
He was Dongfang Sheng, the pride of Myriad Academy!
"Senior Dongfang Sheng is really elegant."
"What a powerful aura. As expected of a Meta-divine Realm martial artist!"
"As the pride of the academy, I'm afraid no one other than Sage Lin Feng can surpass Senior Dongfang Sheng, right?"
"I think Senior Dongfang Sheng might also become the third Sage from our Myriad Academy after Sage Lin Feng!"
Seeing Dongfang Sheng, many students discussed in low voices excitedly. As students of the Myriad Academy, they were also very proud.
In the past, among the three top martial academies, the Polar Academy undoubtedly had the upper hand. It had shown hints of becoming the top of the three martial academies.
However, ever since Lin Feng became a Sage, the momentum of the Myriad Academy had soared. In recent years, enrollment had been very strong.
If Dongfang Sheng became another Sage, added to the Invincible Fist Sage, the Myriad Academy would have three Sages. At that time, how illustrious would the Myriad Academy be?
"Dongfang Sheng, can you give the speech now?" The Deputy Dean asked with a smile.
"Then I'll begin."
Dongfang Sheng said indifferently. Although his tone was a little aloof, it was not very abrupt. Instead, it felt very normal. This was what geniuses should be like.
Thus, Dongfang Sheng began his speech, and the entire square immediately fell silent.
…
Swoosh.
An airship suddenly flew over from the huge Myriad Academy.
Two figures flew out of the airship. They were Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage. However, the strange thing was that despite the arrival of such a large airship, along with the appearance of Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage, no one came to welcome them.
"Why is it so quiet?"
The Invincible Fist Sage frowned.
Lin Feng pointed at a banner at the entrance of the Myriad Academy and said calmly, "Looks like we came at the wrong time today."
"Dongfang Sheng?"
The Invincible Fist Sage saw that the banner was welcoming Dongfang Sheng.
Dongfang Sheng had returned to his alma mater, and he was here to give a speech. As a legend of the Myriad Academy, he naturally attracted most people to welcome him. Hence, no one came to welcome Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage.
Lin Feng had admired Dongfang Sheng for a long time.
Back when he entered the Myriad Academy, he had often heard of the legendary deeds of the Demon King Dongfang Sheng. Then, in the Virtual Battle Chamber, Lin Feng had lost to Dongfang Sheng once again.
Later on, Lin Feng defeated Dongfang Sheng and ascended to the throne of first place in the Virtual Battle Chamber. Up until now, no one had been able to challenge the image Lin Feng had left behind in the Virtual Battle Chamber.
After Lin Feng broke the genetic lock, there had always been people comparing him to Dongfang Sheng. Some even called Lin Feng the second Dongfang Sheng. Some time ago, Dongfang Sheng had undergone three life transitions and become a Meta-divine Realm martial artist. Even the Sages had high hopes that Dongfang Sheng would become a new Sage.
However, Lin Feng was one step ahead and became the tenth Sage of humanity. Only then could he be considered to have surpassed Dongfang Sheng.
It had been about two years since Lin Feng entered the Myriad Academy.
In the past two years, Lin Feng had never seen Dongfang Sheng, but he had heard about Dongfang Sheng's deeds countless times from others. Lin Feng had admired Dongfang Sheng for a long time.
However, regrettably, Lin Feng had never been able to meet Dongfang Sheng.
"Longbetham, can you determine the exact location of the signal?"
Lin Feng looked around. Everyone in the academy had gone to Dongfang Sheng's speech. There was no one around.
"I cannot confirm the exact address, but it's definitely in the Myriad Academy. As for whether he has left the Myriad Academy now, I cannot be certain either."
Longbetham could not help Lin Feng determine the exact location of the signal. It would be too inefficient to search through the huge Myriad Academy, and it was very likely to alert the enemy.
If Lin Feng wanted to find the mysterious person, sticking to ordinary methods would not work. Since it had been confirmed that he was in the Myriad Academy, Lin Feng naturally had a solution.
"Dean, excuse me!"
With that, Lin Feng closed his eyes. The Mental Power Sphere in his mind suddenly shook.
Boom.
In an instant, a terrifying mental power erupted from Lin Feng's body. It swept in all directions like a storm.

Chapter 331: You're Not Dongfang Sheng!
"This is…?"
Even the Invincible Fist Sage could feel as if a "cool breeze" had brushed past his entire body before dissipating.
He did not know what method Lin Feng was using, but he did not disturb Lin Feng.
Vast mental power spread in all directions. With Lin Feng's current mental power, forget about the mere Myriad Academy, Lin Feng could easily sweep through even the entire Delta City.
Lin Feng's mental power swept across the square. Those ordinary students had not broken the genetic lock and did not feel anything at all. They were still in high spirits, and occasional bursts of enthusiastic applause rang out.
On the other hand, those Metamorphic Realm martial artists felt a faint "coldness". However, they all merely frowned and looked around, but did not pay much attention to it.
The "cold breeze" blew through the square and spread throughout the entire Myriad Academy. On the rostrum, Dongfang Sheng was still speaking confidently, without any change in expression.
Everything was calm. Everything was normal. Nothing seemed out of place.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng opened his eyes, but his gaze suddenly landed on the square.
"Lin Feng, how is it?"
The Invincible Fist Sage asked nervously. After all, this involved his Myriad Academy. Even though he was a Sage, he was still very nervous.
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips as he said slowly, "I didn't find anything unusual. Everything is very calm, but that's the thing. It's just too calm…"
Swoosh.
Lin Feng's figure flashed as he walked towards the square in mid-air step by step.
At this moment, countless people in the square were engrossed in listening to the speech. Dongfang Sheng's martial arts knowledge was very profound, and he made references from extensive sources. His speech was also simple and comprehensible, and many people were mesmerized by it.
However, Lin Feng's appearance was still discovered. After all, someone walking through the air was very conspicuous.
However, when they saw that it was Sage Lin Feng, and there was even the Invincible Fist Sage following behind, everyone was in an uproar.
"Sage Lin Feng, it's actually Sage Lin Feng!"
"Sage Lin Feng has also returned to his alma mater?"
"Could the Dean have personally invited Sage Lin Feng?"
"Who would have thought that one of my seniors had already become a Sage?"
"What kind of day is it today? Senior Dongfang Sheng has returned to his alma mater. Now, even Sage Lin Feng has returned to his alma mater."
Seeing Lin Feng appear, everyone looked at the sky, their eyes filled with envy, longing, and respect!
Without a doubt, Lin Feng had stolen Dongfang Sheng's limelight the moment he arrived. Everyone was discussing and paying attention to Lin Feng's arrival. On the other hand, Dongfang Sheng seemed to have become ignored.
However, Dongfang Sheng still appeared very calm.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng walked through the air and landed on the stage.
Everyone on the stage, including the Deputy Dean and Dongfang Shang, hurriedly stood up.
The Deputy Dean said respectfully, "Sage Lin Feng, why didn't you inform us that you're returning to your alma mater? I'm really sorry for neglecting you now…"
Lin Feng waved his hand slightly, but his gaze was fixed on Dongfang Sheng.
"No need. I came specially to look for Dongfang Sheng."
"Look for Dongfang Sheng?"
The Deputy Dean glanced at Lin Feng and Dongfang Sheng, wondering what their relationship was.
"Dongfang Sheng, we've long admired each other, right?" Lin Feng asked calmly.
Dongfang Sheng wore a respectful expression and replied modestly, "Sage Lin Feng, you've become a Sage before me. I'm your inferior."
Indeed, no matter how one looked at it, there was actually already a huge gap between Lin Feng and Dongfang Sheng.
"Inferior? Dongfang Sheng is indeed inferior to me, but you're not that inferior to me."
Lin Feng seemed to be talking in riddles. It was a little baffling.
"What does Sage Lin Feng mean?"
Dongfang Sheng also revealed a "curious" expression.
"Because you're not Dongfang Sheng!"
In an instant, Lin Feng's expression turned cold.
Boom.
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Even the Deputy Dean was dumbfounded.
The person in front of him was clearly Dongfang Sheng. If he was not Dongfang Sheng, then who was the person standing on the rostrum?
"Lin Feng, you're mistaken. He's indeed Dongfang Sheng. I've seen him before! His aura hasn't changed at all."
The Invincible Fist Sage also flew to the stage and said with a frown.
"That's right. We've all met Dongfang Sheng before."
"Dongfang Sheng was once my student. I can't possibly mistake someone else for him."
"Could Sage Lin Feng be mistaken?"
Dongfang Sheng also revealed an innocent expression. He smiled weakly and said, "Sage Lin Feng, if I'm not Dongfang Sheng, who am I?"
No one supported Lin Feng's point of view, even though Lin Feng was a Sage!
Everyone believed in facts!
"If I say you're not Dongfang Sheng, you're not!"
Lin Feng suddenly extended his hand. His palm instantly became incomparably huge, enveloping the entire rostrum.
"No, Sage Lin Feng, you…"
"Sage Lin Feng, this is a misunderstanding."
"He's Dongfang Sheng. He's really Dongfang Sheng!"
Everyone was anxious. Lin Feng actually attacked in public without any hesitation.
That huge palm contained a suffocating aura. Even though the Deputy Dean and the others on the stage were all Divine Realm or Meta-divine Realm martial artists, they did not even have the courage to act.
The only one who could act was the Invincible Fist Sage. Even though he was also very shocked, Lin Feng's attack was too fast. He could not even stop him in time.
Boom.
Lin Feng's huge palm landed, enveloping the entire rostrum, shattering it.
As for Dongfang Sheng, who was in the center of Lin Feng's palm, he was already drowned in the surrounding dust before he could even unleash his Astral Power.
"Lin Feng, how can you just kill someone at will?"
The Invincible Fist Sage was also somewhat angered. He knew that Lin Feng had killing intent, but he should not just go for the kill directly upon suspecting someone randomly.
Looking at the rostrum covered with dust, with such a huge force in the attack from a Sage, forget about Dongfang Sheng who had only just undergone three life transitions to become a Meta-divine Realm martial artist, even those senior Meta-divine Realm martial artists could not withstand a single palm strike from Lin Feng.
Dongfang Sheng just died for no reason. For a moment, many people in the square did not even dare to breathe loudly, but a trace of anger was brewing in many people's hearts.
Did being a Sage mean he could kill indiscriminately?
"Senior Dongfang Sheng's death is too unjust."
"What kind of grudge can make Sage Lin Feng attack personally?"
"Originally, Senior Dongfang Sheng still had a chance of becoming a Sage, but now, Sage Lin Feng has personally destroyed all of this. Why?"
Many people were confused. How could Lin Feng be so arbitrary as to kill someone directly?
However, Lin Feng was unmoved. His gaze was fixed on the dusty rostrum.
Suddenly, everyone's restlessness seemed to have been strangled at once and came to an abrupt halt.
In the ruins, a figure in white was actually still standing where he was. He only extended a hand and grabbed Lin Feng's huge palm tightly!
"I concealed myself so perfectly. How did you discover me?"
Dongfang Sheng's expression was unchanged. His gaze was sharp as a blade as he stared straight at Lin Feng.

Chapter 332: Armageddon
"That's right. You concealed yourself so perfectly. Who can really discover you?
"Actually, I didn't discover you either, but it's precisely because you're too perfect. My mental storm has no effect on some ordinary people at all. Only martial artists who have broken the genetic lock can sense it. However, under my mental storm, you didn't change at all.
"What does this mean? It's just a cover-up. How could a dignified Metamorphic Realm martial artist like you be inferior to some Metamorphic Realm martial artists?"
Lin Feng stared frigidly at Dongfang Sheng, his eyes filled with cold intent.
"I see… But you're not confident either, right? That's why you attacked directly. What if you were wrong?"
"If I'm wrong, so be it! I'm a Sage, and I killed a Meta-divine Realm martial artist. Even if I'm wrong, I can bear the consequences. But can you?"
Dongfang Sheng laughed. That's right. This was unequal in the first place. He could not afford to gamble!
"All right, you win!"
Dongfang Sheng struck out hard, and Lin Feng's palm instantly shattered inch by inch like an ice crystal. It had to be known that this was Lin Feng's combat body! Even if he had not unleashed the Tidal Combat Body three kilometers in size, with the power of his combat body, with Lin Feng's current strength, even a Sage could not easily destroy one of his arms.
However, it was just an arm. He had only lost some cells. His combat body squirmed slightly, and without even bleeding a drop, he had swiftly regrown an arm.
"I'm very curious. Who exactly are you?"
Lin Feng also stared calmly at Dongfang Sheng. Although the person in front of him did not unleash his aura, he gave Lin Feng a strong sense of danger. If Lin Feng could sense danger even with his current strength, it's definitely not just a Sage.
Dongfang Sheng grinned, revealing his white teeth. He said casually, "Don't you already know who I am? You can call me Night Devil, or Dongfang Sheng. After so many years, I'm already used to using the name Dongfang Sheng."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically, including the Invincible Fist Sage. His expression was even a little awkward. After all, he had just doubted Lin Feng.
However, at this point, how could the people in the square not know that there was probably a huge problem with Dongfang Sheng?
"Your human civilization is truly fascinating. I've seen many civilizations that thrived or fell into decline, but none of them were as strange as yours. I'm even a little infatuated with your civilization. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful a civilization is, it cannot escape eventual destruction."
Dongfang Sheng muttered to himself, as if he did not realize that he was in danger right now.
On the stage, apart from Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage, the others had already quietly retreated. Even Meta-divine Realm martial artists could not withstand a confrontation and battle at this level.
Dongfang Sheng placed his hands behind his back and stepped into the void step by step. Meanwhile, the aura on his body increased gradually.
Metamorphic Realm, Divine Realm, Meta-divine Realm!
Boom.
At the Meta-divine Realm, the aura on Dongfang Sheng's body erupted again, reaching a new level.
"Sage! You've actually become a Sage. How can there be no sign at all?"
The Invincible Fist Sage was overcome by shock. This was too unbelievable.
It had to be known that once a martial artist underwent four life transitions and became a Sage, they would absorb Astral Power. How dreadful would that commotion be? It was impossible for it to go unnoticed.
Even Lin Feng, who cultivated the cosmic cultivation system, made a huge commotion when he underwent a life transition. If it were in a city, the commotion would be earth-shattering.
The commotion of advancing to the Sage Realm was actually even greater. After all, one had to absorb a massive amount of star power and convert it into Astral Power! It was absolutely impossible to conceal such a huge commotion.
"Sage? The martial arts of you humans are really unique. Although you don't have much strength, you still have some peculiar abilities. Not bad. Are you talking about the Divine Kingdom?"
Dongfang Sheng had his hands behind his back. His gaze was disdainful and condescending, as if he was the almighty king of deities and the ruler of the universe. His long hair swayed. Then, a scorching aura suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire Myriad Academy.
"Divine Kingdom of Fire!
"Divine Kingdom of Frost!
"Divine Kingdom of Purgatory!
"Divine Kingdom of Death!"
Seeing Dongfang Sheng use Divine Kingdoms one after another, as flames, ice, and violent winds intertwined and wreaked havoc, the Invincible Fist Sage's initial shock gradually turned into numbness.
He had really gone numb. Since when could Divine Kingdoms be used one after another without end?
Could this even still be considered the Divine Kingdom?
The Invincible Fist Sage naturally knew the Divine Kingdom very well. He could clearly sense that aura. It must be the Divine Kingdom. There was no mistake about it. But how could Dongfang Sheng have so many Divine Kingdoms?
"Hmph, they are just simulated Astral Force Fields. It's just a petty trick!"
Lin Feng did not hold back anymore. After capturing Dongfang Sheng, the truth would naturally come to light.
Rumble.
Lin Feng's body began to expand. In a few breaths, it had already expanded to three kilometers.
His legs were like two huge mountains. With a slight movement, the entire Delta City shook.
The aura on his entire body was already powerful to the extreme. Even the Invincible Fist Sage, who had already seen Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body, felt a faint sense of suffocation.
He suddenly found that without realizing it, he, a distinguished Sage, was no longer even qualified to fight…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, seven airships flew over from afar.
Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, Sage Claus, Sage Zhou Tianqi, Sage Palman, Sage Bingyu, and Sage Cass—there were a total of seven Sages, and they were all the Sages of humanity at the moment.
Including Lin Feng, and apart from Sage Batai, who had already been killed by Lin Feng, all the Sages of humanity were here.
The Nine Sages appeared together, and even temporarily abandoned the Forbidden Places they were guarding. If demon emperors attacked the defense line at this moment, humanity would definitely suffer heavy losses.
However, they had no choice but to come, because "Dongfang Sheng" was far more terrifying than those demon emperors.
These Sages were naturally notified by the Invincible Fist Sage. Although their ideals might differ, they all shared the same vision when facing the common enemy of humanity.
"Dongfang Sheng, no matter who you are, you have infiltrated humanity for so long and committed heinous crimes. You deserve to die!" Sage Kang shouted, his killing intent already rising.
The last thing he could tolerate was "anomaly". This "Dongfang Sheng" appeared human, but in reality, he was not. He must be an "anomaly".
Sage Kang only had one word for anomalies—kill!
"Very good. All Nine Sages are here. Forget it, I'm tired of human life too. I was going to get some interesting things going, but now that you've discovered me, I may as well launch the Armageddon in advance…"
At this moment, Dongfang Sheng's gaze was so cold and unfamiliar!

Chapter 333: It's About to Wake
Boom.
Suddenly, the ground shook. As Lin Feng's huge foot stomped down, Dongfang Sheng disappeared.
Everyone watched in shock as Lin Feng slowly lifted his massive foot. A huge pit had already been formed in the entire square of the Myriad Academy by Lin Feng's stomp.
As for Dongfang Sheng?
Lin Feng had long stomped him into the ground.
"Armageddon? What makes you think you are capable of it?"
Lin Feng had mastered the Tidal Combat Body and undergone three life transitions. He was just worrying about not being able to find an opponent. Now that he had found the founder of the Night Devil, he did not know what kind of "anomaly" it was, but it was threatening to destroy the world at every turn.
Now that he was stomped on by Lin Feng with one foot, he no longer looked insufferably arrogant as he was moments ago.
"Lin Feng!"
Dongfang Sheng suddenly rushed out of the huge pit. He looked rather disheveled. How powerful was Lin Feng's combat body with three life transitions? Even though Dongfang Sheng was an anomaly, he was in a sorry state at this moment.
With a loud roar from Dongfang Sheng, his body began to expand, and then quickly changed. There were no longer those fancy Divine Kingdoms, but an aura that felt somewhat familiar to Lin Feng.
Dongfang Sheng transformed into a terrifying monster with a huge head and a body covered in pale red scales. Its body was two or three kilometers long, and its back seemed to be covered in blood-colored eyes. It looked very sinister and terrifying.
"It's really an anomaly!"
Seeing Dongfang Sheng transform into a terrifying monster, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The students of the Myriad Academy had long been evacuated. However, what was the use of being evacuated from the Myriad Academy in such a battle? Once a battle broke out, even the entire Delta City might be destroyed. This was the heartland of humanity, a city with a very dense population.
Rumble.
Dongfang Sheng's tail pressed down, and the buildings of the Myriad Academy collapsed. A few unlucky students who did not retreat in time were directly crushed to death.
Some rocks flew out of the Myriad Academy and killed a crowd on the streets. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people were already killed or injured.
"Attack!" Sage Kang roared. He could not tolerate Dongfang Sheng's wanton massacre.
Hence, the eight Sages, including the Invincible Fist Sage, joined forces with Sage Kang. The eight Divine Kingdoms descended onto Dongfang Sheng's massive body with a bang.
The eight Divine Kingdoms represented the martial arts in the hearts of the eight Sages, and the beliefs of the eight Sages!
The Divine Kingdom descended and instantly restrained Dongfang Sheng, who was like a terrifying flood dragon. It was actually restrained for a time.
"Kill!" Lin Feng roared. Without hesitation, he raised his fist and smashed down hard.
All the power unleashed from his trillions of cells in his combat body of three kilometers was gathered in this punch.
Thud.
Like a comet striking the ground, Lin Feng smashed his fist down. Dongfang Sheng cried out in pain. The scales on his entire body shattered inch by inch, and his massive body instantly smashed into the ground.
"Too weak, too weak, too weak! How can you destroy the world when you are so weak?"
Lin Feng was also filled with fighting spirit. It was not easy for him to encounter an enemy who could make him attack with all his might, but its strength disappointed him greatly.
"Argh… Mere humans, mere lesser lifeforms. I'll kill all of you!"
Dongfang Sheng went completely berserk. He charged out of the ground and lashed his tail at Lin Feng. At the same time, the eight Sages unleashed eight Divine Kingdoms again, pressing down on Dongfang Sheng like huge mountains.
"Get lost!"
The densely packed blood-colored eyes on Dongfang Sheng's back suddenly "opened". Tens of thousands of blood-colored rays shot out. These blood-colored rays seemed to be very penetrative, and instantly tore apart the Divine Kingdoms of the eight Sages.
This was the Divine Kingdom of the eight Sages. They were all torn apart by the scarlet rays, and the entire sky seemed to be dyed blood-red.
The eight Sage Divine Kingdoms were broken, and all of them were severely injured. That was Astral Force Fields being torn apart. Although their lives were not in danger, they had lost their combat ability.
"What kind of anomaly is this?" Sage Kang looked thoughtful.
"It doesn't look like a demon emperor, but it's far more horrifying than demon emperors."
Sage Yuanyi's expression was also very solemn. They were eight dignified Sages, but they had actually lost even when joining forces. Moreover, they had lost so completely. If not for Lin Feng, the consequences would be unthinkable.
This was the true calamity!
"Fortunately, Sage Lin Feng is here…"
Sage Claus was also a little relieved. He also knew about Lin Feng killing Sage Batai. However, he never expected Sage Batai to be a member of the Night Devil.
Sage Claus did not collude with Sage Batai in major matters of good and evil.
"Sage Lin Feng…"
Even Sage Kang, who had a different ideal from Lin Feng, could only place all his hopes on Lin Feng at this moment.
"Weak, weak, too weak!"
Lin Feng raised his hands and smashed them down in a frenzy.
Dongfang Sheng struck Lin Feng with his tail. The terrifying force caused Lin Feng to fall heavily to the ground. However, he quickly stood up again and charged forward again. He grabbed Dongfang Sheng's body and smashed him into the ground in a frenzy.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Lin Feng felt incomparably carefree. Ever since he mastered the Tidal Combat Body, it had really been a long time since he had such a hearty "physical combat".
Lin Feng was happy, but Dongfang Sheng's expression was incomparably agonized.
Too strong. How could Lin Feng's physical body be so strong? It was incredibly strong and incomprehensible!
"Power of Armageddon!"
Dongfang Sheng could not take it anymore. No matter what, he could not defeat Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body in close combat. Hence, the countless scarlet eyes on his body suddenly opened.
Countless scarlet rays instantly shot at Lin Feng.
At this moment, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body was immediately riddled with holes. The pervasive strange power seeped into Lin Feng's combat body, and his cells were annihilated in large swaths.
However, Lin Feng found this power very familiar.
"Annihilative power? It's somewhat similar, but it doesn't seem very pure."
Lin Feng circulated the Annihilative Origin. Immediately, like a whale sucking in water, the infinite strange power invading his body was sucked into the Annihilative Origin.
This was indeed annihilative power, but the "quality" seemed to be much inferior. If the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction were mineral water with unparalleled purity, then, the Light of Armageddon unleashed by Dongfang Sheng would be a filthy ditch.
Although they were both water, there was a world of difference.
"Didn't you want the Spear of Destruction?"
Lin Feng suddenly reached into his chest and made a light grab.
An ancient black spear appeared in Lin Feng's hand.
"You actually fused the Spear of Destruction? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Only those with the power of Armageddon can master the Spear of Destruction…"
"Die!"
Lin Feng raised the Spear of Destruction high and suddenly stabbed down.
Thump.
The Spear of Destruction instantly pierced into Dongfang Sheng's body.
Dongfang Sheng's originally massive body instantly shriveled like a balloon. Lin Feng could clearly feel that Dongfang Sheng's "annihilative power" was being devoured by the Spear of Destruction continuously.
That was Dongfang Sheng's foundation!
Dongfang Sheng's body was gradually shriveling, and there was not much life left in him. However, a strange smile appeared on Dongfang Sheng's lips.
"The clarion call for Armageddon has been sounded. The end of civilization is imminent. Cheer all you want. It's about to wake…"
Crackle.
Lin Feng drew out the Spear of Destruction, and Dongfang Sheng's body gradually shriveled. Finally, he collapsed to the ground like a weathered mummy.

Chapter 334: Mystery
"He's dead!"
Lin Feng glanced at Dongfang Sheng, who had turned into a dried corpse. This was his true size. As for his appearance as Dongfang Sheng, perhaps it was some kind of miraculous transformation technique, just like the Tidal Combat Body that Lin Feng cultivated. If he was willing to study the arrangement of cells, it would not be that difficult to transform into a person.
"Sage Lin Feng, what kind of anomaly is this Dongfang Sheng?"
Sage Kang walked over. Although the Divine Kingdom of him and the other seven Sages had been torn apart, they were ultimately fine. They would recover after a period of rest.
However, the eight Sages were all a little nervous about a terrifying "anomaly" like Dongfang Sheng.
If not for Lin Feng, the consequences would be unthinkable!
"I don't know, but he's a lifeform, a genuine lifeform! It's just that he's not human. He seems a bit like a greater demon, but he far surpasses those demon emperors."
Lin Feng frowned slightly as well.
This Dongfang Sheng was very, very strong, ridiculously so. If one really had to make a comparison, perhaps only Sages with five life transitions were comparable to him.
If not for the fact that Lin Feng possessed the Spear of Destruction and could temporarily utilize a little of the annihilative power in it, it was still unknown who would have won.
However, although Dongfang Sheng was strong and almost invincible aside from when facing Lin Feng, this bit of strength was far from enough if Dongfang Sheng intended to launch the Armageddon.
What was Armageddon?
It was the destruction of the entire world in an instant. Even Dongfang Sheng could not destroy all of humanity in a very short period of time.
Hence, Dongfang Sheng did not have the ability to launch the Armageddon at all.
"I think I've seen Dongfang Sheng's final words somewhere before."
Suddenly, Sage Yuanyi's expression became a little solemn, as if he was carefully recalling something.
"You've heard of it?"
All the Sages looked at Sage Yuanyi, and Lin Feng was no exception.
"'The clarion call for Armageddon has been sounded. The doomsday of civilization is imminent.' Yes, those are the words. I have indeed seen them before. Sage Kang, you should have seen it too. Do you remember? A hundred years ago, when we explored the Black Wind Canyon together, we once saw an ancient stone tablet. Weren't those the mottled words on it?"
"The writing in the Black Wind Canyon?"
Sage Kang's eyes suddenly widened, as if he found it unbelievable.
"That's right. I remember that it was a stone tablet we encountered along the way. The writing on it happened to be the writing of an ancient civilization we once discovered. Translated, this is the sentence! Could this anomaly be related to the Black Wind Canyon?"
At this thought, all the Sages' expressions became very solemn.
The Black Wind Canyon could be considered the most dangerous of the Four Forbidden Places. Otherwise, Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi would not be presiding over it.
Sage Kang deduced that there was a horrifying power in the Black Wind Canyon that even demon emperors had to bow to. If Dongfang Sheng was really related to the Black Wind Canyon, it wouldn't be difficult to understand.
"Black Wind Canyon…" Lin Feng muttered softly, committing this name to memory.
"There's no need to make superfluous speculations. This anomaly must have already impersonated Dongfang Sheng when he was very young. Sages, you can investigate Dongfang Sheng's detailed experiences since he was young. Perhaps you can discover something unusual."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
"That's right. We have to investigate carefully!"
"It's not just Dongfang Sheng. There's also the Night Devil organization. Even if Dongfang Sheng is dead, the Night Devil organization might be rekindled. We have to strike!"
"It's all thanks to Sage Lin Feng this time. We will definitely give Sage Lin Feng an explanation for what happened to Batai previously!"
Many Sages also made up their minds that the status quo could not be maintained.
Hence, the Sages bade farewell one after another. They still had to return to guard the regions. Otherwise, if any demon emperors really stirred chaos, it would be a problem.
With the departure of the Sages, only Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage were left in the Myriad Academy.
They looked at the surrounding ruins. Not only was the Myriad Academy in ruins, the surrounding area of several kilometers was also in ruins. The casualties had already exceeded 100,000.
In a battle between Sages, be it martial artists or ordinary people, they were all as insignificant as ants and had no ability to protect themselves at all.
This was even after Lin Feng had ended the battle quickly. If the delay had been longer, the casualties would probably have exceeded this number.
"Dean, the Myriad Academy has been destroyed."
Lin Feng was also a little apologetic. His battle with Dongfang Sheng was so intensive that he could spare no thought for anything else, causing the entire Myriad Academy to be reduced to ruins.
Fortunately, most of the students had already been evacuated. Otherwise, the losses would be even heavier.
Everything on Dongfang Sheng had been searched, except for a communicator. Moreover, all the valuable information had been deleted. Dongfang Sheng seemed to be an enigma. He had appeared out of nowhere and was hidden among humanity. He was so well-concealed that even eight Sages were not his match.
Beep.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's communicator received a message. His communicator was Sage Batai's communicator, which he was using for the time being. Only the other seven Sages knew about it now.
This message was from Sage Kang, attached with information on Dongfang Sheng from the investigation.
The five major factions' influence covered the entire human society. They might not have an objective in the beginning, but now that they had confirmed that there was a problem with Dongfang Sheng, all the information about Dongfang Sheng since he was young had been investigated thoroughly.
Lin Feng read it very carefully, not missing a single piece of information.
From the time Dongfang Sheng was born to the age of three, there did not seem to be anything unusual about him. However, after the age of three, Lin Feng discovered a small detail.
When Dongfang Sheng was about three and a half years old, Dongfang Sheng followed his parents to the amusement park, but disappeared for half an hour.
In the end, they found Dongfang Sheng standing in front of the snack stall, wanting to have ice cream.
Without much thought, many did not find anything wrong with it. It was just half an hour. Wasn't it normal for a child to get lost for a while?
However, this was the most abnormal thing. Dongfang Sheng's parents were both Metamorphic Realm martial artists who had broken the genetic lock. How could they have lost Dongfang Sheng in the crowd for as long as half an hour?
Ever since this incident, Dongfang Sheng had gradually risen to prominence. He had even awakened some innate abilities, which surprised Dongfang Sheng's parents. From then on, everything went smoothly for him, and he became a martial genius.
Lin Feng could even be certain that during the half an hour that Dongfang Sheng got lost when he was three years old, he might have already been switched by the anomaly. The real Dongfang Sheng might very well be long dead.
Then, this anomaly replaced Dongfang Sheng and lived in the name of "Dongfang Sheng". During this period, it even established the Night Devil to constantly collect intelligence on humans.
However, Lin Feng knew very well that this anomaly's strength had long surpassed that of human Sages. If it wanted to destroy humanity, it might not be able to do so in a short period of time, but it could still kill all the Sages and disrupt human cities.
Why didn't he do that?
Even before Lin Feng found the anomaly, it did not show signs of launching the Armageddon.
All of this seemed to have become a difficult mystery with the death of "Dongfang Sheng".
"Longbetham, don't you have something you want to tell me?"
Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the end, Lin Feng homed in on Longbetham! Perhaps the others had no clue, but Longbetham definitely knew something.

Chapter 335: Behemoth of Armageddon
Longbetham emerged from Lin Feng's communicator. The holograph it projected also seemed to be a little hesitant.
"Longbetham, I've already undergone three life transitions. If that isn't enough, I've already preliminarily fused the Spear of Destruction. This should be enough, right? Tell me, what is Armageddon? And who is it?"
Lin Feng's expression was very solemn. He did not think that Dongfang Sheng's last words were an exaggeration.
Longbetham looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression. In the past, it would have rejected Lin Feng without hesitation. However, ever since it felt that Lin Feng had a chance of becoming its master's disciple, its attitude had changed slightly.
Now, it was hesitating about whether to tell Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not rush it. Instead, he waited quietly.
"Lin Feng, I was going to tell you about the Armageddon when you obtain Master's legacy and become Master's disciple. But now that you have already fused the Spear of Destruction, there is no harm in telling you.
"When I first descended, your world was still at the end of the second civilization. You might not be able to imagine how powerful the second civilization was. Due to some treasures left behind by the first civilization, the combat power of the second civilization was fearsome to the extreme! At that time, humans were the ruler of the world. There were no messy dire beasts at all. Basically everyone could complete a life transition upon reaching adulthood.
"Therefore, humans in the second civilization could all undergo one life transition. There were countless people who could undergo three or four life transitions. Only those who could undergo five life transitions were very rare. I do not know if there were any. After all, the second civilization was already near its end. At that time, the second civilization was also on the verge of collapse, because there was a Behemoth of Armageddon!
"The appearance of this Behemoth of Armageddon instantly destroyed the second civilization. You might not be able to imagine how powerful the Behemoth of Armageddon is. It was born to destroy, to annihilate the world. According to the cosmic cultivation system, the Behemoth of Armageddon should be at the peak of five life transitions. This is not according to the martial arts you cultivate, but the equivalent of five life transitions by the standards of the cosmic cultivation system.
"The Behemoth of Armageddon attempted to destroy the world, and through the destruction, obtain annihilative power to transform into a planetary lifeform. Unfortunately, it failed every time. Although it destroyed the civilization, it did not truly annihilate the world, because the spark of civilization still remained in the world. Then, civilization was slowly born. This went on for the third, fourth, fifth, and up until your ninth civilization!
"If the Behemoth of Armageddon failed to metamorphose after launching Armageddon, it would undergo a period of weakness before falling into a deep slumber. After it woke up, it would launch the Armageddon again. The birth of your ninth civilization was still very recent. According to the timeline, there is still a very long time before the Behemoth of Armageddon awakens. Therefore, if Dongfang Sheng is referring to the fact that the Behemoth of Armageddon is about to awaken, I do not quite believe it, unless some unexpected change has occurred that would cause the Behemoth of Armageddon to wake in advance."
Longbetham revealed the secret it had been hiding all at once.
Even though Lin Feng was already experienced and knowledgeable, and even stood at the peak of humanity with achievements that exceeded even Sages, he still gasped. The shock in his heart could not be quelled for a long time.
The Behemoth of Armageddon?
Such a terrifying behemoth that was only a step away from becoming a planetary lifeform actually existed in this world?
It would obtain annihilative power from the Armageddon and metamorphose?
Lin Feng thought of the memories of the Leviathan he had obtained. That Leviathan seemed to be an overlord-level behemoth in a world at first. However, as it underwent the final "metamorphosis", the Leviathan followed its instincts and "devoured" its home planet at once.
Only after devouring a planet did the Leviathan finally complete its metamorphosis and become a planetary lifeform. Could the same apply for the Behemoth of Armageddon?
From the second civilization to the eighth civilization, these extremely powerful civilizations were destroyed time and time again. The truth seemed to be hidden. Only today did Lin Feng find out that all of this was due to the Behemoth of Armageddon.
"Annihilative power… That's right, when I was fighting Dongfang Sheng previously, I sensed a strange power in Dongfang Sheng's body. It seems to be the annihilative power that can constantly destroy my combat body. However, it's far inferior to the annihilative power of the Spear of Destruction."
Longbetham nodded and said, "Correct, that was annihilative power! However, your Spear of Destruction is an Origin Weapon. The Annihilative Origin is annihilative power extracted from the collapse of a star. Dongfang Sheng's annihilative power is at most the annihilative power on your planet. The two are not comparable."
"So, Dongfang Sheng is the Behemoth of Armageddon?"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat as a bold thought appeared in his mind.
"No, Dongfang Sheng is definitely not the Behemoth of Armageddon. If that was really the Behemoth of Armageddon, it would have killed you with a single smack. Not even holding the Spear of Destruction would save you. If I am not wrong, Dongfang Sheng must have been born alongside the Behemoth of Armageddon, and was some kind of special lifeform corrupted by the annihilative power."
Lin Feng gradually calmed down.
If what Longbetham said was true, an anomaly that was born alongside the Behemoth of Armageddon actually had strength not inferior to Lin Feng's combat body of three life transitions at all. Then, how powerful would the true Behemoth of Armageddon be?
Indeed, it lived up to its name of Armageddon!
"Dongfang Sheng is just an impostor. You have the Spear of Destruction. He was not your match at all. However, you are still far from being a match for the Behemoth of Armageddon."
This was why Longbetham had taken so long to tell Lin Feng about the Behemoth of Armageddon. The difference was too great, and it would even affect Lin Feng's conviction. It had to be known that once a cultivator's conviction collapsed, it was basically impossible for them to undergo another life transition.
"The Behemoth of Armageddon is so powerful. Is there any power that can deal with it?"
"Of course there is. For example, if you can unleash the full power of the Spear of Destruction you possess, you can deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon. Also, if you can undergo five life transitions, with Master's legacy, you can also deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon."
Lin Feng shook his head. Neither of these two methods was that easy.
Lin Feng still had no clue how to completely fuse the Spear of Destruction. Currently, he could only use the Annihilative Origin to slightly mobilize the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction.
He could only unleash 1% of its strength at most. After all, the true Spear of Destruction was an Origin Weapon that contained the Annihilative Origin of a star. If its full power was unleashed, it could even severely injure and kill planetary lifeforms.
The way to fuse the Spear of Destruction remained unclear. As for five life transitions, that was even more difficult.
Although Lin Feng seemed to have undergone three life transitions in such a short period of time, every single time, he succeeded only due to a fortuitous encounter and after great hardships.
"Is the Behemoth of Armageddon slumbering in the Black Wind Canyon?"
Lin Feng raised his head, his eyes flickering with a sharp glint. A bold thought appeared in his mind.

Chapter 336: Urgency
"Lin Feng, the Behemoth of Armageddon is indeed slumbering in the Black Wind Canyon. What are you trying to do?"
Longbetham was startled. It knew how "reckless" Lin Feng could be at times.
"Since the Behemoth of Armageddon is slumbering, is it possible for me to use the Spear of Destruction to kill it completely?!"
A sharp glint flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.
"Kill it with the Spear of Destruction?"
Longbetham shook its head and said, "Lin Feng, you have never seen the Behemoth of Armageddon, let alone know how horrifying it is. It is completely beyond your imagination, and is a being with power equivalent to five life transitions under the cosmic cultivation system. Do you think you can kill the Behemoth of Armageddon with your strength, even with the Spear of Destruction?
"If it is really that easy to kill, the second civilization would not have suffered such heavy losses. You have to know that the Spear of Destruction was the subject of the most thorough research of the second civilization. Their use of the annihilative power is not inferior to yours. If you charge into the Black Wind Canyon rashly and fail to kill the Behemoth of Armageddon, only to awaken it, your ninth civilization will probably be destroyed in advance."
Even Longbetham was doing its best to stop Lin Feng. This meant that this Behemoth of Armageddon was indeed terrifying, far beyond Lin Feng's imagination. It was just like how in the memory fragments of the Leviathan, the Leviathan was almost invincible, and no power could kill it.
The Behemoth of Armageddon was probably about the same as a Leviathan that had yet to completely metamorphose into a planetary lifeform.
"Don't worry, I won't barge into the Black Wind Canyon without absolute confidence."
Lin Feng took a deep breath. He had thought that he could rest easy after three life transitions, and could even sweep through all the dire beasts. But now, he had suddenly learned of another Behemoth of Armageddon.
A total of nine civilizations existed in a cycle of death and rebirth. All the civilizations were destroyed due to the Behemoth of Armageddon. Would human civilization one day follow in the footsteps of the first eight civilizations?
It was hard to say. If the Behemoth of Armageddon truly awakened and metamorphosed into a planetary lifeform, the entire world would become the "energy" for the Behemoth of Armageddon's metamorphosis.
"I'll find a way somehow…"
Lin Feng flew back to the airship, bade farewell to the Invincible Fist Sage, and returned to the League of Guardians Headquarters.
…
Sage Batai had fallen, and the Myriad Academy had been destroyed.
These two matters had already caused an uproar, but the five major factions did not give an explanation for a long time.
The Conference of Sages was held again, and Lin Feng participated.
Three things were confirmed in the meeting. Sage Batai was killed by Sage Lin Feng for crimes against humanity!
A demon emperor had infiltrated the Myriad Academy. After a great battle, it was killed by the combined forces of the Sages!
It was publicly announced that the Night Devil organization was an illegal organization. For a period of three months, members of the Night Devil organization who took the initiative to confess could receive leniency for their sentences. If they had not committed any crimes, it could be written off. Even if they had made certain mistakes, they could be dealt with leniently.
However, after three months were up, once their identities as members of Night Devil were discovered, they would be severely punished!
As soon as these three matters were announced, the entire human society was in an uproar.
Previously, there were only some rumors that Sage Batai seemed to have died, but they were only rumors. Not many people believed them.
Only those who had personally witnessed the death of Sage Batai in Golden Mountain City were the exception. However, there were not many of those. Moreover, the five major factions controlled the network. All videos involving Sage Batai were directly deleted.
A Sage of humanity was actually suspected of crimes against humanity, and was killed by Sage Lin Feng on the spot. How shocking was this news?
This was an authoritative message jointly issued by the five major factions, or rather, six major factions, including the League of Guardians.
Ever since the birth of Sages, no Sage had ever fallen. Now, a Sage had fallen, not at the hands of dire beasts, but at the hands of another Sage.
Many people felt as if a storm was brewing.
Apart from the incident with Sage Batai, the other two incidents were also incomparably shocking.
Everyone knew that the Myriad Academy had been razed to the ground. It was actually a demon emperor that had infiltrated human society. Did this mean that some kind of dire beast could already infiltrate human society silently?
There was also the Night Devil organization. To those martial artists above the Metamorphic Realm, this was undoubtedly a message of utmost severity.
The six major factions jointly announced that the Night Devil was an illegal organization. Although the five major factions had investigated the Night Devil in the past, they had not announced it publicly.
Clearly, the six major factions and the Sages were determined to eliminate the Night Devil organization this time.
Hence, after some martial artists weighed the pros and cons, they finally confessed their identities as members of the Night Devil.
Naturally, the other Sages could deal with the disturbances in human society. At this moment, Lin Feng was in the League of Guardians, but his surroundings were very quiet.
This was because he was slowly sorting out the memories of the "Leviathan" in his mind.
Even though there were billions of years' worth of memories, many of them were just fragments and were not coherent. Moreover, Lin Feng still had to digest some of those memories carefully.
Relying on these memory fragments, Lin Feng underwent three life transitions and even condensed the Annihilative Origin, barely managing to control the Spear of Destruction for the time being.
If Lin Feng wanted to undergo four or even five life transitions quickly, he would have to start from the Leviathan's memories and life core.
"Longbetham, the life core I obtained is only one percent. If I can obtain more, I might be able to undergo four or even five life transitions."
"That is actually a good idea. How great is the life core of a planetary lifeform? However, are you sure there are other life cores?"
Longbetham doubted it.
In the vast universe, planetary lifeforms could be considered great lifeforms. They could travel the universe and were very difficult to kill, let alone obtain life cores.
Even Longbetham had never actually seen the life core of a planetary lifeform. It had only seen it from some informative sources.
However, the life core of planetary lifeforms actually existed in this world. This was simply unbelievable. Even Longbetham could not understand it.
Lin Feng closed his eyes. He carefully recalled the memory fragment in his mind.
A huge hand that seemed to be able to cover an entire galaxy descended from the sky. The Leviathan was shattered in the universe without even the slightest ability to resist.
The gap between the two was simply too great!
"I'm certain that the life core of that planetary lifeform, the Leviathan, is complete! Now that only a small portion of the fragments are left, there must be other life core fragments scattered in this world! As long as I can find these life core fragments, it's not entirely hopeless for me to undergo four or even five life transitions."
Lin Feng also sensed the urgency now.
He did not know when the Behemoth of Armageddon would wake. Perhaps it might awaken in 10,000 years, in a thousand years, in a hundred years—even awakening tomorrow was not entirely impossible.
Hence, Lin Feng had to seize the time to increase his strength. Otherwise, when calamity really descended, the entire human race would be completely powerless to resist.
Lin Feng had no intention of seeing it happen!

Chapter 337: Mobilizing the Sages
"Lin Feng, something that was able to kill a planetary lifeform, seize its life core, and even shatter it into pieces to leave in this world is just too horrifying. It must be at least a great galactic lifeform."
Longbetham felt a lingering fear. It had descended in this world, and felt that this world was not simple.
However, when things involved galactic lifeforms, it did not even dare to think about them. What was so special about this planet that a galactic lifeform took it so seriously?
It was even certain that the Canopy must have been set up by that great lifeform above the galactic level.
"There are no more life core fragments in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. I'll search elsewhere, such as the other three Forbidden Places. Apart from the Black Wind Canyon, there are two other Forbidden Places!"
Lin Feng already had a plan. Finding the life core fragments of the Leviathan was the top priority. He believed that there must be many more life core fragments scattered in this world. They might be lying in some corner, undiscovered up until now.
"Lin Feng, it is too difficult for you to find the life core fragment alone. Even my help would not be of much use. You should use your advantage. You are not doing this just for yourself, but also for your human civilization. Therefore, you should mobilize everyone to help you find the life core fragments!"
"That's right. We should mobilize the power of all humanity to search for them together! However, it's not easy to convince the other eight Sages. There has to be a reason."
"Is the reason not simple? With your current strength, what are you afraid of? You do not even need to explain. Just tell them about the situation with the Behemoth of Armageddon. The other Sages will definitely believe you! This is because you are the only hope for humanity. Those Sages have all lived for decades or centuries. They naturally know what this means."
Lin Feng thought about it carefully. That was true.
What was his current status? He was practically the strongest entity of humanity!
The other eight Sages all knew very well what Lin Feng represented. At this point, no one and no power in human society could threaten Lin Feng anymore.
What he said must be the truth!
Moreover, Sage Kang and the others had found so many ancient ruins. Lin Feng did not believe that they really knew nothing about the Behemoth of Armageddon.
"All right, I'll hold the Conference of Sages immediately!"
Lin Feng immediately contacted the other eight Sages.
…
In the Supreme Commanders' Department, the Conference of Sages was held again. However, Lin Feng was the one hosting this Conference of Sages.
Ever since Lin Feng became a Sage, he rarely took the initiative to hold the Conference of Sages. In addition, Lin Feng vaguely had the authority of the First Sage now. Hence, all the Sages were present.
"Sages, do you still remember Dongfang Sheng?"
"Of course we remember. We've always been investigating Dongfang Sheng, but we haven't found any valuable clues. We don't know what this anomaly is."
Dongfang Sheng was once a genius student of the Myriad Academy. Moreover, because of Dongfang Sheng, even the Myriad Academy had been destroyed. Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage undoubtedly took this matter very seriously.
"I think I know where Dongfang Sheng came from."
"What? Sage Lin Feng knows about it?"
"Sage Lin Feng, do you know where this anomaly came from?"
Sage Kang and the others' eyes lit up as they looked at Lin Feng anxiously. During this period of time, they had indeed used all methods at their disposal to investigate, but Dongfang Sheng had not left a single clue. There was nothing they could do about it.
"Has everyone heard of the Behemoth of Armageddon?"
Lin Feng swept his gaze through them and went straight to the point.
Boom.
Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, and the other eight Sages' expressions all changed drastically.
"Sage Lin Feng, are you talking about the Behemoth of Armageddon?" Sage Kang's voice was trembling.
"That's right, it's the Behemoth of Armageddon! Dongfang Sheng should be some kind of special lifeform that was born with the Behemoth of Armageddon. The 'it' he mentioned at the end is probably the Behemoth of Armageddon. The Behemoth of Armageddon might awaken in advance."
Seeing the expressions of the eight Sages, Lin Feng knew that they definitely knew about the Behemoth of Armageddon, or rather, knew a little about it. They were not completely ignorant.
"If it's really the Behemoth of Armageddon, it'll really be a calamity…"
Sage Kang shook his head. His face was already a little pale, and he looked like an ordinary old man.
In front of a terrifying behemoth that could destroy worlds and civilizations like the Behemoth of Armageddon, Sages were nothing.
"I don't know how much you Sages know about the Behemoth of Armageddon, but as far as I know, the Behemoth of Armageddon was the culprit that destroyed so many ancient civilizations! Once it awakens, the consequences will be unthinkable, and human civilization will be destroyed!"
The other Sages also nodded. The Invincible Fist Sage heaved a long sigh and said, "I originally thought that the Behemoth of Armageddon was just a myth, and too distant from us. I never expected it to be about to awaken."
"The first time we learned about the Behemoth of Armageddon was in an ancient civilization ruin. The Behemoth of Armageddon was mentioned in it. Originally, we did not pay much attention to it. However, over the next hundred years, we discovered various ancient civilizations one after another. They all mentioned the Behemoth of Armageddon, which attracted our attention.
"Later, according to our investigation and calculations, we suspect that the Behemoth of Armageddon is hidden in the Black Wind Canyon! This is also why Sage Yuanyi and Sage Kang are personally overseeing the Black Wind Canyon."
The Invincible Fist Sage explained everything he knew.
It turned out that humanity had already gained some understanding of the Behemoth of Armageddon from some clues in ancient civilizations. They had even deduced that the Behemoth of Armageddon was in the Black Wind Canyon.
"Sage Lin Feng, since you know that the Behemoth of Armageddon will wake in advance, is there any way to deal with it?" Sage Kang suddenly asked. A trace of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
At this point, everyone knew that Lin Feng had obtained the astonishing legacy of an ancient civilization. He was even the top Sage of humanity now, but they did not get to the bottom of it. Every Sage had their own secrets. As long as Lin Feng was still part of humanity and would fight for humanity, that was enough.
Now, their only hope lay with Lin Feng.
However, faced with everyone's anticipation, Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I can't deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon either. However, I have a solution."
"What solution?"
"Everyone knows that I've obtained some ancient legacy. I need a kind of scarlet crystal now, something I call life core! Dean has also seen it before. It was discovered in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. If everyone can find enough life cores, my strength might be able to improve further. Then, it won't be impossible for me to contend against the Behemoth of Armageddon."
Lin Feng showed the image of the life core to all the Sages.
"All right, we'll mobilize all the factions immediately and do everything we can to find these life cores! However, Sage Lin Feng, your current strength has already far exceeded all of us Sages. For the development of humanity as a whole, and to better accumulate strength, Sage Lin Feng, can you personally take action to eliminate those demon emperors?" Sage Kang said softly.
All the Sages also looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Chapter 338: Demon Slaying Operation!
"Eliminate the demon emperors?"
Lin Feng met the expectant gazes of all the Sages and said firmly, "I'm a Sage of humanity. Why not?"
Demon emperors were a major threat to all humans. Every time a demon emperor appeared, it would bring about catastrophic consequences for humanity. For this reason, the Nine Sages guarded the Outland all year round to deter those demon emperors.
However, this also held down the Sages of humanity, preventing them from having much time to cultivate or guide the juniors of humanity.
However, things were different now. Lin Feng had the strength to clear out all threats. Demon emperors were no longer so powerful beyond humans, nor were they so difficult to slay.
If they could eliminate the demon emperors, the Sages of humanity would also be free to help Lin Feng collect life cores, or deal with the threat of the Behemoth of Armageddon together.
"There are many demon emperors. Where should we start?"
"I've already thought it through. Let's start with the Three Forbidden Places! I once obtained the life core in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. Perhaps there are life cores in the other Forbidden Places as well. We can also get rid of those demon emperors along the way."
The Sages nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let's agree on a time to set off. I suggest all the Sages attack together for such an important operation."
Sage Kang struck while the iron was hot. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Let's do it tomorrow. As for the location, I went to the Tashakur Desert last time. I only killed Batai, but I didn't explore the Tashakur Desert properly. Let's start with the Tashakur Desert."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and confirmed the time and place.
"Then this operation will be called Demon Slaying Operation! Tomorrow, everyone will gather at the League of Guardians Headquarters!"
Sage Kang made the final decision. Everyone had a smile on their faces.
After so many years, the day had finally come when they could take the initiative to attack demon emperors. Lin Feng did not guard the Outland. He did not know the pain of guarding the Outland over decades or centuries.
All along, although humans were on the offensive against other dire beasts, they were actually on the defensive against demon emperors. If dire beasts broke through certain defense lines, the Sages would not even have time to reinforce them.
During the previous crisis in Dragonlith City, it was luck that the Invincible Fist Sage could arrive in a very short period of time. Even if a demon emperor appeared, he could rush back in time. Otherwise, the Invincible Fist Sage would not have been able to reinforce Dragonlith City.
The Sages agreed and left one after another, leaving Sage Kang and Lin Feng alone.
"Sage Lin Feng."
Just as Lin Feng was about to leave as well, Sage Kang stopped him.
"Sage Kang, is there anything else?"
Sage Kang took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "Sage Lin Feng, I was wrong about Batai."
Sage Kang actually took the initiative to apologize. This surprised Lin Feng.
He was a dignified Sage, and he was known as The Pioneer of humanity, the first Sage in history. How prestigious was he? Yet he was taking the initiative to apologize to Lin Feng now.
Lin Feng did not think that Sage Kang was apologizing to him due to his strength.
"Sage Kang, what are you doing?"
"Lin Feng, I couldn't stop Batai in time. I even somewhat enabled his actions. For the greater good, I've unknowingly deviated from my original intention."
"No, Sage Kang, you're not wrong! Our ideals are different, but no one was in the wrong. Back when humanity was weak, it was precisely because of Sage Kang's firm conviction that humanity slowly became stronger, and that we can prosper today! However, things in the world cannot be perfect. We are all working for humanity now, and our ideals have aligned again, right?"
With that, Lin Feng retracted his projection, leaving Sage Kang with a thoughtful expression.
…
The next day, airships landed one after another at the League of Guardians Headquarters.
The person who walked out of the airship shocked every martial artist in the League of Guardians.
"That's the Invincible Fist Sage, right? I've seen him last time."
"There's also Sage Bingyu, the Dean of the Polar Academy. She rarely shows her face."
"It's Sage Kang, the first Sage of humanity."
"The Sages of the military are here too… Eight of them, a total of eight. Apart from the dead Sage Batai, almost all the Sages are here. What's going on?"
There were only over 100 official members in the League of Guardians, but they were fortunate enough to witness the grandest lineup in human history!
A total of eight Sages arrived at the League of Guardians.
Looking at the magnificent buildings below, the Sages all nodded to themselves. Lin Feng's League of Guardians was completely different from their faction. It had a very technological air.
After all, the headquarters was built with robots left behind by the third civilization. It fully adopted certain characteristics of the third civilization, and was very different from the current buildings of humanity.
"Sage Bingyu, this is your first time at the League of Guardians Headquarters, right? Haha, Sage Lin Feng has a lot of good stuff."
The Invincible Fist Sage had already been to the League of Guardians a few times, and actually took up the role of a "guide".
"Invincible, I think Sage Lin Feng's League of Guardians is quite good. Aren't you rebuilding Myriad Academy? Why don't you get Sage Lin Feng's robots to help you rebuild it?" Sage Cass said with a smile.
"Do I need you to tell me? I've already borrowed 3,000 robots from Lin Feng. Myriad Academy can be rebuilt in a few days!"
The Invincible Fist Sage was in high spirits. Once his Myriad Academy was rebuilt, it would definitely surpass the other two academies. It was enough to make him excited for a while.
"Sage Kang, all the Sages are here. When was the last time all the Sages gathered?"
"A hundred and thirty-eight years ago. There were only seven Sages at that time. We had gathered then to deal with three demon emperors together."
Sage Kang was also very emotional. Due to the demon emperors, it was very difficult for the Sages of humanity to gather.
At this moment, Lin Feng also came out. He took a look. The eight Sages were all here. It was time to leave.
"Chenchen, don't worry. With eight Sages together this time, the Demon Slaying Operation will definitely be a success!"
Before leaving, Lin Feng also explained things to Qu Chen.
Qu Chen was also very supportive of the Demon Slaying Operation. She was just a little worried about Lin Feng, but she also knew that Lin Feng was a Sage, so he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of humanity!
"Let's go!"
A total of nine airships took off from the League of Guardians Headquarters and quickly flew towards the Tashakur Desert.
…
In the depths of the Outland, countless Screwworms were prostrating on the ground, their entire bodies trembling, as if they were afraid of something.
In the valley in front of them, a giant worm emitting a scarlet light seemed to be undergoing metamorphosis with great difficulty. A layer of skin was vaguely shed from its entire body. Its huge body, which was two kilometers long, almost occupied the entire valley.
The giant worm appeared to be in great agony. There was a strange scarlet crystal in its mouth, and it was trying its best to swallow it.
Rumble.
Finally, the giant worm opened its maw wide, and devoured the huge scarlet crystal like it was a delicious meal.
Immediately, the giant worm let out waves of incomparably painful roars. Countless Screwworms that heard this roar and prostrated themselves on the ground as they trembled.

Chapter 339: Tashakur Desert
Devour, devour…
A voice seemed to echo repeatedly in the minds of all the Screwworms. It was their broodmother, their king, and the only thing that mattered in their life.
Hence, a great many Screwworms hissed as well. Tens of thousands of Screwworms charged out of the valley in an orderly manner like an army.
…
"We've arrived at the Tashakur Desert!"
Lin Feng flew down from the airship. There were a total of eight Sages behind him. This was practically the strongest force of humanity.
The Tashakur Desert in front of him was filled with flitting yellow sand, and the sun was blazing hot. At a glance, it looked like a land of despair and death, where there was not even a trace of vitality.
This was the depths of the Tashakur Desert, and Golden Mountain City was still very far away. If one wanted to find an oasis here, they would have to travel thousands of kilometers, or even further.
This was a dead land. It was rumored that demon emperors had once appeared here. Many Meta-divine Realm martial artists did not dare to barge in rashly. Once they did, they would never return.
"Have you found any information about the Tashakur Desert from the consortium faction?"
Lin Feng asked the other eight Sages. After all, the Tashakur Desert was too huge. Without specific information, it would be very difficult to find demon emperors.
Sage Kang's face was ashen as he said in a low voice, "This Batai neglected his duty! I never expected that after guarding Golden Mountain City for so many years, he had never gone deep into the Tashakur Desert. The reports he gave us in the past were all lies!"
Sage Kang was furious. Sage Batai had really renewed his understanding of Sages. Sages presided over a region, and their duty was actually similar to that of Legates.
...
The regions guarded were basically all under the Sages' authority
However, Sage Batai had never ventured into the Tashakur Desert at all. He had never even seen the shadow of a demon emperor. Although expedition teams had ventured into the depths of the Tashakur Desert before, they had never returned. Sage Batai found all kinds of excuses to put it off.
Now that Sage Batai was dead, his past actions were naturally exposed, infuriating Sage Kang. After all, he was the one who supported Sage Batai to oversee the Tashakur Desert back then.
Without specific information, how could they find what they were looking for in such a huge desert?
"I'll investigate the information from some adventurers immediately. Gather all the information regarding the Tashakur Desert."
The eight Sages took action at once. They were in charge of the five major factions, so it was naturally the fastest way to gather information.
Lin Feng did not interfere. After all, his League of Guardians had just been established. Its foundation was still shallow, and there was no way to find information about the Tashakur Desert. However, he had a method as well.
Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes. Then, the Mental Power Sphere in his mind shook slightly, and a wave of mental power quickly explored in all directions.
Ever since Lin Feng's Mental Guidance Technique had advanced to the third level, he had yet to test the limit of his mental power. Hence, as his mental power continued to spread and explore, Lin Feng could also learn the limit of his mental power.
Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters…
Lin Feng's mental power spread extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had already explored a radius of a few kilometers.
Two kilometers, five kilometers, ten kilometers, twenty kilometers…
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's mental power had already enveloped an area of dozens or hundreds of kilometers. No movement in this area could escape Lin Feng's notice.
He saw some scattered dire beasts lurking in the desert, ready to attack at any moment.
A few dire beasts were also hunting another dire beast.
This was the Outland, and it was the desolate and deadly Tashakur Desert. Even after hundreds of kilometers, Lin Feng did not discover any powerful dire beasts.
However, his mental power did not feel strained at all. A mere hundred kilometers did not feel like much. Hence, Lin Feng continued to extend.
One hundred kilometers, three hundred kilometers, five hundred kilometers…
Suddenly, when Lin Feng's mental power extended to 800 kilometers, his mental power stopped.
At this moment, 800 kilometers was already somewhat taxing on Lin Feng's mental power. Of course, if he unleashed his full power, Lin Feng should be able to explore an area of over a thousand kilometers.
"Sages, I've found something!"
With that, Lin Feng took the lead and flew rapidly into the distance on the airship.
The other eight Sages were a little confused. They all looked at each other, but they still chose to trust Lin Feng and followed.
…
"So many dire beasts, and they all seem to be demons…"
"It's said that the Tashakur Desert is very dangerous, and even contains great secrets. Our travel has been safe for thousands of kilometers. Who'd expect we would encounter danger here? Looks like we're going to die in this desert."
"With Elder Lin around, everything should be fine, right?"
A group of young explorers, about a dozen of them, were all gathered in a circle. Around them were countless dire beasts like black beetles, surrounding them all.
These black beetles were about a meter in size and emitted a foul smell all over. They surged out of a dark and damp cave.
Elder Lin was a Divine Realm martial artist, but he had not joined any faction. He was one of the very few martial artists who were "free". Moreover, he had fought at the frontline for decades, so he could return to the homefront to enjoy a comfortable retirement.
However, he wanted to explore the secrets of the Tashakur Desert. This was because decades ago, a few of his companions had died in the Tashakur Desert. He could never let go of this matter.
Elder Lin established an expedition team. Most of the people were just some young explorers who only had the strength of professional martial artists. It was only by relying on Elder Lin that they managed to avert danger along the way.
However, this time, at this place where Elder Lin's former companions were left behind, they encountered danger.
These black beetles were all demons!
Elder Lin's expression was extremely solemn. If there were only a dozen or so of them, it wouldn't be a big deal, but there were tens of thousands of them behind, and they were all demons!
This was unbelievable. What kind of dire beast could produce so many demons?
"Report to the five major factions immediately. There's a huge crisis hidden in the Tashakur Desert…"
When Elder Lin was in such a dangerous situation, the first thing he thought of was to report the situation to the five major factions. With so many demons here, there must be an extremely terrifying greater demon within!
Once these demons charged out of the Tashakur Desert, the consequences would be unthinkable!
"Elder Lin, we found it, we found it…"
Suddenly, a young explorer held a stone tablet fragment in his hand. There were dense words on it. They must be the words of some ancient civilization.
Elder Lin was also excited. These words were consistent with the words on the items left behind by his former companions.
He had finally found them. He was even certain that his companions had died to these dire beast beetles.
Unfortunately, he could not avenge them anymore.
The entire expedition team was in the most perilous situation. Some people's faces were ashen. Facing these savage dire beasts, they had almost no power to resist.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, nine airships flew over from the distant sky. In the blink of an eye, they were above them.
"Airships!"
The members of this expedition team cheered, and a trace of surprise appeared on their faces again.
Buzz. Buzz.
However, these beetles actually leaped and spread their wings. They could still fly!
Countless beetles charged towards the nine airships in swarms.
"Look out!"
These were not armed airships. Although they were very fast, they were unarmed. Faced with these terrifying beetles, they would probably not be able to escape the fate of falling.
Swoosh.
A figure flew out of the airship. He glanced around and saw the densely packed beetles below.
"Hmph."
The figure was very young. He looked at the beetle and snorted coldly, so he extended his hand.
Suddenly, everyone in the expedition team felt as if the sky had darkened.
"That's…"
"A palm. What a huge palm!"
Under the shocked gazes of all the explorers, a huge palm descended from the sky like a dark cloud.

Chapter 340: Crushed in One Grab
Boom.
The giant palm landed, and the ground shook. Everyone in the exploration team felt as if they were about to suffocate.
Then, the giant palm disappeared. The dozen or so people in the exploration team all closed their eyes tightly, terrified. However, when they gradually opened their eyes, they realized that they were not dead, and were not even injured anywhere.
Around them, hundreds of beetles had already turned into a pool of mush. A huge pit had appeared on the entire ground. Only the area where they were standing was still intact.
"That's…"
Everyone was shocked. When they saw the terrifying palm descending from the sky just now, they really thought that they were doomed. That fearsome might seemed suffocating even to the imagination.
The young figure flew down directly and said calmly, "Who are you?"
"We are an expedition team. You… You are Sage Lin Feng?"
Someone finally recognized him. After all, Lin Feng was the tenth Sage of humanity. It had been publicized overwhelmingly a few months ago. Naturally, they could recognize him.
Lin Feng nodded. For some reason, the exploration team became excited.
They had actually encountered a Sage. No wonder he could kill so many beetles with a single strike of the palm.
Elder Lin also flew over and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Sage!"
"What are you doing in the Tashakur Desert?"
"Sage, we are an expedition team that came to the Tashakur Desert to explore the mysteries of this place. We did not expect to encounter these beetles. We are certain that there must be a very terrifying greater demon down in this cave."
Elder Lin said excitedly. His companions had died to these beetles, but he definitely could not deal with these beetles with his strength alone.
Lin Feng was different. As a reputable Sage, he definitely had such strength.
Soon, the Sages in the other eight airships also flew out.
Elder Lin's eyes widened in shock.
What did he see?
Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, the Invincible Fist Sage…
There were a total of eight Sages. Apart from Sage Batai, who had been killed by Sage Lin Feng for his crimes against humanity some time ago, all the Sages of humanity had come.
What kind of major matter was going on?
"Sage Lin Feng, what did you discover?"
Sage Kang and the others flew over and asked with solemn expressions.
"Nothing. It's just that this place is a little strange. There are so many dire beasts, and they're all demons. There might be something strange down there."
Lin Feng also looked at the cave entrance solemnly. For some reason, the aura in this cave gave him a familiar feeling.
After the eight Sages arrived, the exploration team went completely numb. When had the Sages of humanity all gathered together? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the Nine Sages act together.
Buzz.
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the cave. Then, many beetles surged out of the cave.
Some of these beetles were dire beasts, some were demons, and some were even demon generals. All of them had a ferocious and bloodthirsty aura.
"You guys return to the airship first."
Lin Feng glanced at this expedition team. They could not help much here, and it was too dangerous.
That's the truth. Lin Feng grabbed the dozen or so explorers and sent them into the airship.
In the airship, more and more beetles appeared below. They were simply densely packed and overwhelming. Just their auras alone were chilling. However, Elder Lin and the others were not worried at all.
Those were Nine Sages!
What was capable of stopping the strongest force of humanity?
Compared to the confidence of the exploration team, Sage Kang and the others were actually not that confident. When they saw so many beetles, their expressions were already a little solemn.
Seeing these beetles, Lin Feng did not attack. Instead, he stood quietly in the void and looked coldly at the beetles below.
With a cursory glance, he saw that there were already tens of thousands of beetles, and they were still increasing. In particular, a powerful aura was vaguely emitted from the cave entrance. It was not the aura of a demon general, let alone a demon king, but a demon emperor!
Rumble.
The ground began to shake violently. Then, the cave entrance began to crack. A very burly demon hundreds of meters long crawled out.
This was a demon emperor!
Not all dire beasts had extremely massive bodies like Lin Feng. In fact, a body of hundreds of meters was the normal size of an ordinary demon emperor.
However, the aura emitted by this demon emperor gave Lin Feng a very familiar feeling. It was like… like the aura of life.
"Life core?"
Lin Feng recalled carefully. It seemed to be the aura of a life core, but it was too faint. Even Lin Feng could not be sure.
As this demon emperor appeared, the number of beetles had already reached a hundred thousand, and was still increasing rapidly.
"Humans, do you intend to start a war?"
Suddenly, the demon emperor beetle spoke. This was the first time Lin Feng had encountered a dire beast that could speak.
"War? For a mere demon emperor like you?"
Lin Feng looked at this demon emperor coldly. There was no right or wrong between the two parties in the first place, only life-or-death struggles. Now that humans had strength, how could they possibly let these dire beasts go?
"You will regret this!"
The demon emperor glared at Lin Feng. It was afraid, because it had sensed nine auras that were not inferior to its own. This meant that there were nine powerful entities comparable to it on the other side.
Dire beasts were all cunning, and this demon emperor was no exception. It turned around and left, quickly returning underground.
"Trying to escape? It's too late!"
Lin Feng's body expanded rapidly, reaching three kilometers in the blink of an eye.
The pressure from the terrifying body made those beetles go berserk. However, under the command of the demon emperor, they still charged over like a tide.
"Destroy!"
Lin Feng did not even let the other Sages attack. His palm expanded rapidly. It was only too easy to change the cells in his palm.
His palm covered an area of over a thousand meters. Like a dark cloud, it whistled through the air as it slammed down.
Boom.
The ground trembled, and the Tashakur Desert shook like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
With a single palm strike from Lin Feng, more than a hundred thousand dire beast beetles, including ordinary dire beasts, demons, demon generals, and even demon kings, were all smashed into mush by Lin Feng.
The Tidal Combat Body after three life transitions was almost invincible. Even the Sages were amazed by it once more. Numbers no longer meant anything to Lin Feng.
However, this was not the end. Lin Feng even clenched his fists and smashed them into the ground in a frenzy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Time after time, the force from each strike exceeded an earthquake of magnitude 10, even 11 and 12. They were simply earth-shattering. Lin Feng was like a giant that blotted out the sky. Every time he struck the ground, cracks would appear on the ground.
Finally, a huge crack appeared in the ground, seemingly incomparably deep.
Lin Feng suddenly reached into the crack with both hands, as if he was holding two door panels.
"Open!"
Rumble.
The entire ground was overturned. Lin Feng actually grabbed the ground directly and almost overturned the entire Tashakur Desert.
In the crack, the demon emperor who had just escaped had a panicked expression. It seemed to be in disbelief. Who could be so terrifying that even the entire desert was overturned?
"I've got you!"
Lin Feng made a grabbing motion and grabbed the demon emperor directly. A demon emperor with a body of hundreds of meters was no different from a pet in Lin Feng's hands.
Thump.
Lin Feng squeezed hard, and the demon emperor exploded into a mass of flesh and blood, crushed by Lin Feng.
"Hmm, this is…?"
Suddenly, Lin Feng realized that there was a fist-sized scarlet crystal lying quietly among the flesh and blood in his hand.

Chapter 341: Upheaval
"Huh, this is a life core fragment?"
Although the scarlet crystal in Lin Feng's palm was only the size of a fist, it was a genuine life core fragment. Lin Feng could not have mistaken it.
"This aura… There is a trace of the aura of the life core within the flesh and blood. It has yet to dissipate completely. It was digesting the power of the life core fragment?"
Lin Feng had already fused a large life core fragment before. Hence, Lin Feng could not be more familiar with the life core of the Leviathan.
This fist-sized life core fragment was found within the body of this demon emperor. The demon emperor must have been absorbing the power of the life core fragment, but was killed by Lin Feng before its absorption was complete.
Lin Feng put away the life core fragment. This tiny bit of life core fragment was not much to Lin Feng, but it was an important clue.
It meant that life core fragments existed beneath the Tashakur Desert!
"Sage Lin Feng, how is it?"
Sage Kang and the others flew over as well. After seeing Lin Feng almost turn the Tashakur Desert over, all of them were stunned. Even after witnessing Lin Feng's battle with Dongfang Sheng, they could not remain calm after seeing such a scene now.
This had far surpassed the limits of power in their imagination. It was truly apocalyptic.
"I have some findings."
Lin Feng showed the life core fragment in his hand.
"This is the scarlet crystal?"
"It is indeed quite special."
"Now that there's the actual object for reference, it'll be more convenient to collect them in the future."
All the Sages also looked curiously at the scarlet crystal Lin Feng was holding. They could sense that there seemed to be a special power contained within. Unfortunately, as they cultivated Astral Power, they could not use the life core even if they had it.
Lin Feng looked at the deep and dark cave below. His mental power extended down rapidly.
He "saw" many underground crypts. There was no "technological air" to them all. They appeared similar to the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead, with an ancient and primitive sense.
It was different from any ancient ruins Lin Feng had seen before.
"There's more!"
Lin Feng took a deep breath. Through his mental power, he sensed that there were many dire beasts under the Tashakur Desert, especially demon emperors. He could not let them off.
"Up!"
Lin Feng roared. Every cell in his Tidal Combat Body burst with invincible power, and the entire Tashakur Desert shook wildly.
Rumble.
The ground shook. It was as if Lin Feng had forcefully "uprooted" a mountain. The entire Tashakur Desert had completely changed and become a giant pit, as if it was connected to another world that was infinitely deep, dark, and frightening.
The faint roars of dire beasts came from the giant pit, as if they came from purgatory. Even the other eight Sages had a vague sense of unease.
Lin Feng's two huge hands stretched out of the huge hole. However, three demons were caught in his two hands. All of them were struggling and roaring in a frenzy.
However, it was useless. In Lin Feng's hands, they were like pets, and their struggles were futile.
These were demon emperors!
"Humans, you will regret starting a war…"
The three demon emperors roared. Lin Feng exerted force with his palms.
Thump.
The three demon emperors were instantly crushed. Unfortunately, no life core was obtained from their bodies. However, Lin Feng still sensed an aura of the "Leviathan" from their flesh.
"These demon emperors have all devoured life core fragments before."
A bold thought appeared in Lin Feng's mind. Could someone have deliberately scattered life core fragments all over the world? If any of these dire beasts were lucky enough to devour the life core fragments, they could become demon kings or even demon emperors.
That was not impossible!
Hence, Lin Feng wanted to verify it. There were many demon generals and demon kings underground in the Tashakur Desert. Lin Feng grabbed with both hands again and captured ten demon kings directly, which corresponded to Meta-divine Realm martial artists.
Although these demon kings might be very ferocious when facing martial artists, they were like ants in Lin Feng's hands, easily crushed to death.
Thump.
Lin Feng clenched his hand and instantly crushed the ten demon kings. He then carefully sensed the flesh and blood of these ten demons.
As expected, the flesh of eight demon kings contained the aura of life cores. This meant that all eight demon kings had devoured life cores before.
"As expected, life core fragments were scattered everywhere, but these dire beasts got a huge advantage instead!"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He had initially thought that the Canopy was there to protect them, but from the looks of it now, didn't it confine them as well?
Wasn't everything in this world someone's designs?
Perhaps in the eyes of such a great entity, the dire beasts, humans, and the eight previous civilizations on this planet were all just "experiments".
Lin Feng took a deep breath. These were all just his wild guesses, and there was not much direct evidence. Regardless of whether the truth was as he had guessed, he was still very weak now. He could not even deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon.
At the moment, he had to work hard to find as many life core fragments as possible.
Lin Feng's mental power swept wildly underground. Needless to say, he had really found some life core fragments buried deep underground.
Unfortunately, there were just too few of these life core fragments.
Lin Feng swept through the entire underground area within a radius of a thousand miles, but only found more than ten fist-sized life core fragments.
There were also many dire beasts and greater demons underground. Although these dire beasts and greater demons were not demon emperors, once they surged out of the ground, it would still be a calamity for humanity.
Lin Feng simply raised his hand and filled the huge hole underground with large chunks of soil and rocks in a frenzy. Immediately, the earth collapsed. Countless dire beasts and demons underground roared in a frenzy.
However, under Lin Feng's ravages, most of them were crushed into a pulp. Perhaps some dire beasts were lucky enough to escape this calamity, but they no longer posed any threat to humanity.
"From now on, the Tashakur Desert is no longer a Forbidden Place!" Lin Feng said calmly.
At this moment, the Tashakur Desert could no longer even be called a desert, for there was no longer any yellow sand. With Lin Feng's "stir", it was really turned upside down.
Searching through the entire Tashakur Desert with this method was almost similar to the terrifying deities in myths who could move mountains and fill seas, or capture stars and moons.
Of course, Lin Feng knew very well that moving mountains and filling the sea might not be difficult for him. He did have the ability to do it, but he was far from being able to capture stars and moons.
Perhaps only lifeforms above the planetary level were capable of it.

Chapter 342: Dead Sea of Abyss
"We've arrived at the Tashakur Desert!"
In the airship, the members of the adventure team led by Elder Lin watched Lin Feng's terrifying methods of turning over the landscape. All of them held their breaths and focused, and could not be more excited.
What did they see?
Sage Lin Feng was like a legendary figure in myths, possessing majestic divine power. That was the Tashakur Desert, a vast desert that had buried countless. Innumerable martial artists and explorers had died here with regrets, but now, the Tashakur Desert had actually disappeared, completely destroyed by Sage Lin Feng alone. What a tremendous change.
"No wonder Sage Lin Feng could kill Sage Batai. This has already exceeded the power of a Sage!"
Although Sages were also known to be omnipotent, in reality, they were worlds apart from how stunning, direct, and "violent" Lin Feng's methods were.
At this moment, they believed that with Sage Lin Feng, humanity would be even more glorious than before!
Swoosh.
Lin Feng had already walked into the airship.
"Greetings, Sage Lin Feng."
The members of the expedition team hurriedly bowed.
"The Tashakur Desert is no longer a Forbidden Place. Do you choose to return to Golden Mountain City or stay here?"
Elder Lin discussed with a few members for a while before saying excitedly, "We want to stay here for the time being."
...
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although the Tashakur Desert had disappeared, it had been "destroyed" by Lin Feng. How could they, as explorers, miss such a living miracle?
Hence, Lin Feng left them in the Tashakur Desert. The Nine Sages boarded the airship and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
The changes in the Tashakur Desert were immediately uploaded to the Internet by the members of the expedition team. The Nine Sages moved together. Sage Lin Feng single-handedly overturned the landscape and completely changed the Tashakur Desert.
This earth-shattering matter immediately caused an uproar and discussion on the Internet.
Some martial artists even vaguely sensed that perhaps the Nine Sages were carrying out an operation that could change the situation of the entire world.
…
Lin Feng did not pay attention to the Internet. He was only concerned about the life core fragments in his possession now. Although these dozen or so fragments were far inferior to the huge life core fragment Lin Feng had obtained in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead, he still had some gains.
Actually, Lin Feng did not pay much attention to the energy contained in these life core fragments. He paid more attention to the memories regarding the Leviathan in these life core fragments.
Only by comprehending some of the memories of the Leviathan could Lin Feng's Mental Guidance Technique break through. Otherwise, if he cultivated the Mental Guidance Technique step by step, there was no knowing how long he'd take to break through to the fourth level.
Only after breaking through to the fourth level of the Mental Guidance Technique could he undergo four life transitions.
Originally, this should be a gradual process, but Lin Feng did not have that much time. The threat of the Behemoth of Armageddon made Lin Feng's time very tight. He had to seize every second.
Lin Feng reached out and grabbed. A dozen or so life core fragments appeared in his hand. Then, he circulated the Combat Body Guidance Technique. Immediately, the Tidal Combat Body began to absorb these life core fragments.
A large amount of energy entered Lin Feng's body, nourishing his Tidal Combat Body. However, with the size of Lin Feng's current combat body, this bit of energy was not worth mentioning at all.
What really caught Lin Feng's attention was the memory fragment of the Leviathan in the life core.
Lin Feng was already completely immersed in it. As there were relatively few life core fragments, there were actually very few memory fragments, and they were very scattered.
Lin Feng felt as if he had transformed into a Leviathan. However, this memory seemed to be from when the Leviathan was just born. In the cold sea, its mother, that massive Leviathan, was killed by another powerful behemoth.
The waters were dyed bright red. The Leviathan was very afraid, but it was very lucky. That powerful behemoth seemed to disdain killing the newborn Leviathan and left that sea.
The Leviathan followed its instincts and survived in fear and unease every day. As it had lost its mother since it was young, it did not even know how to hunt.
It would starve every day and be in a constant state of anxiety. Perhaps one day, it would starve to death.
Although this memory was only a fragment, it was very deep. Lin Feng could clearly feel the unease and fear in the Leviathan's memory.
Who would have thought that even powerful planetary lifeforms would feel fear when they were weak?
"Even the weakest life is filled with infinite possibilities! Even the greatest prophet would not dare to predict the miracles that can blossom from life."
Lin Feng pondered.
Actually, every person and every life had different comprehensions, even for the same memory.
For example, in this memory, some people would perceive that life was really too fragile. Some would perceive that it was too difficult to cultivate successfully. Some would feel that they would definitely undergo all kinds of hardships if they wanted to become a planetary lifeform.
However, Lin Feng felt that no matter how weak a lifeform was, it could still make miracles! This might be the greatness of life!
There was no right or wrong for different comprehensions. With this understanding, Lin Feng suddenly felt that the scenery outside the airship was so beautiful. Those plants, those insects, and even those dire beasts were all filled with the beauty of life.
Perhaps a certain weak lifeform was also looking forward to becoming a great lifeform!
Life had infinite possibilities!
Unknowingly, the life core fragments in Lin Feng's hand had completely disappeared. They had all been absorbed by Lin Feng, and the memories in the life core fragments had also disappeared.
Lin Feng completely awakened from that miraculous realization. He immediately checked the Mental Power Sphere in his mind and realized that although his mental power in the Mental Power Sphere did not increase significantly, his mental power had become purer.
Lin Feng himself could sense that he had already attained a certain level of sublimation, especially for intangible things like mind and will!
Such invisible and intangible things were actually very important at times. After all, life transitions were transitions of all aspects of life. If any of the factors were flawed, this flaw would be infinitely magnified during life transitions, and it would affect the next life transition.
Suddenly, Lin Feng looked at the vast sea in front of him.
However, this sea was not blue, but came with traces of black. It looked lifeless.
"We've arrived at the Dead Sea of Abyss!"
As one of the Four Forbidden Places, the Dead Sea of Abyss was the most mysterious place. Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass of the academic faction were actually the ones stationed long-term at the Dead Sea of Abyss.
When the nine airships approached the Dead Sea of Abyss, the calm Dead Sea was still without ripples. There was neither wind nor waves. It looked incomparably tranquil.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, a thick water pillar rose from the Dead Sea and instantly swept towards one of the airships. As the water pillar swept up, the entire calm Dead Sea seemed to become turbulent all of a sudden.

Chapter 343: Where Even a Feather Would Sink
"Divine Kingdom of Fire!"
A flaming giant suddenly walked out of the airship. It growled and swept up a ball of flames, instantly vaporizing the water pillar and disappearing without a trace.
Swoosh.
In the void, the Nine Sages walked out of the airships and looked at the Dead Sea below in shock.
In the Dead Sea, there was a huge demon that looked like a fish but was not. It had two tails and many densely packed maws. It looked very sinister and terrifying as it stared coldly at the airships in the void.
"This is a demon king, the Millemaw Fish! It has exactly a thousand mouths, and it eats constantly every day. It almost never stops eating, as if its stomach is a bottomless pit. It's a dire beast unique to the Dead Sea. In an environment like the Dead Sea, even Sages like ourselves are unable to do anything to it." Sage Bingyu explained.
She and Sage Cass guarded the vicinity of the Dead Sea of Abyss all year round, so they naturally knew very well.
"Millemaw Fish? It's just a demon king. How can a Sage not be able to deal with it? Watch me!"
The Invincible Fist Sage did not care about a mere demon king. Moreover, this demon king actually dared to take the initiative to go on the offensive against Sages like them just now. This would never have happened elsewhere in the Outland.
Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage attacked. His Divine Kingdom of Fire swept down majestically.
Swish.
When the Divine Kingdom of Fire enveloped an area of a thousand meters, it seemed to have encountered some terrifying power. The Divine Kingdom instantly shattered, and even the flames in the Divine Kingdom disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on?"
The Invincible Fist Sage was very surprised. He had never encountered such a situation.
"Invincible, don't waste your effort. The environment of the Dead Sea of Abyss is very special. Our Divine Kingdoms can't be used in the Dead Sea at all. Once it encounters the seawater of the Dead Sea, the Divine Kingdom would collapse." Sage Cass explained with a smile, shocking all the Sages.
The Dead Sea of Abyss was actually so strange?
Boom.
The Millemaw Fish in the Dead Sea seemed to be "ridiculing" the Invincible Fist Sage as well. It suddenly slapped the seawater in the Dead Sea, causing waves to surge and billow. It was a rather spectacular sight.
The Invincible Fist Sage was a little embarrassed. Be it Meta-divine Realm martial artists or Sages, their strength was actually due to the Divine Kingdom.
Once the Divine Kingdom lost its effect, relying on Astral Power alone, they were actually not stronger than demon kings.
Hence, if this Millemaw Fish was in the Dead Sea, the Invincible Fist Sage would really be unable to do anything to it.
Seeing the Millemaw Fish constantly "provoke" them in the Dead Sea, the Invincible Fist Sage could do nothing. However, he was also a little angry. A dignified Sage was mocked by a demon king in the Dead Sea. Didn't this mean they were incompetent?
"Let me try!"
Lin Feng stared at the Millemaw Fish, then extended his arm.
Boom.
Lin Feng's arm instantly expanded, like a pillar that held up the sky, and extended directly into the Dead Sea. His huge palm actually grabbed the Millemaw Fish from the seawater of the Dead Sea at once.
The Millemaw Fish panicked. Its hundreds of meters long body flailed continuously in Lin Feng's palm, but it was futile.
"The seawater of this Dead Sea is a little special!"
When Lin Feng's arm reached into the Dead Sea of Abyss just now, he immediately felt a kind of "corrosion" in the Dead Sea. However, his combat body was very strong, and he did not care about a little corrosion at all.
However, if other dire beasts entered the Dead Sea rashly, they would probably be instantly disintegrated by the corrosive force.
"Even a feather would sink in the seawater of the Dead Sea of Abyss, and it is also very corrosive. Even demon generals on the shore will be disintegrated in a very short period of time if they rashly enter the Dead Sea, and eventually be dissolved into the entire Dead Sea."
Sage Cass's gaze was very solemn. This was also where the name of the Dead Sea came from. It was almost deathly silent. When lifeforms entered the Dead Sea, they would immediately sink and disintegrate, until not even their bones were left behind.
The Invincible Fist Sage threw out a piece of white paper from his body. As soon as it came into contact with the seawater of the Dead Sea, it quickly sank. True enough, even a feather would sink here.
"This Dead Sea is really strange. As expected of one of the Four Forbidden Places, second only to the dangerous place in the Black Wind Canyon."
Many Sages' expressions turned solemn. This was the first time most of the Sages had seen such a strange place.
Lin Feng observed the Millemaw Fish in his hand. It was not very strong, but its entire body was slippery. Moreover, there was a corrosive power on its body, similar to the corrosive power in the seawater of the Dead Sea. It seemed like it had completely adapted to the environment of the Dead Sea. Its entire body structure was already different from those dire beasts on land.
However, Lin Feng was more concerned about whether there were any life core fragments in the Dead Sea of Abyss.
Thud.
Lin Feng squeezed hard, and the Millemaw Fish was instantly crushed. The pungent smell of blood filled the air. Lin Feng sensed carefully. There was no aura of any life core fragment in the flesh of the Millemaw Fish.
"Nothing?"
Lin Feng frowned. This demon king had never come into contact with a life core fragment.
"Sage Cass, Sage Bingyu, do you know which demon emperors are in the Dead Sea of Abyss?" Lin Feng asked the two Sages.
"We've encountered demon emperors before, but we've only encountered them occasionally. Moreover, in an environment like the Dead Sea, we didn't dare to attack rashly. Most of the demon emperors are in the depths of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is unfathomable. No one knows how deep it is. That's how the Abyss got its name."
Sage Cass's expression was very solemn. He and Sage Bingyu had guarded the Dead Sea of Abyss for a long time, but the number of times they had encountered demon emperors could be counted on one hand.
In addition, the Divine Kingdoms of Sages were useless when encountering the seawater of the Dead Sea. It was all the more reason they did not dare to approach the Dead Sea lightly, let alone venture into it.
If they ventured into the Dead Sea and the Divine Kingdom lost its use, forget about demon emperors, they probably wouldn't be able to deal with even some demon kings.
"I can go down and take a look." Lin Feng suddenly said.
No matter how dangerous the Dead Sea of Abyss was, it did not affect his combat body much. The only inconvenience was that Lin Feng's combat power was slightly weaker in the seawater.
"Sage Lin Feng, is it necessary to do this? It's too risky. Although the Dead Sea of Abyss is dangerous, the demons in the Dead Sea rarely come ashore. They're actually not much of a threat to us humans."
Although Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass were guarding such a dangerous place, they also knew the demons in the Dead Sea of the Abyss very well. They would not come ashore easily.
After all, once they left the special environment of the Dead Sea, those demons would also become much less threatening.
"We don't have much time. I have to go down and search if there are any scarlet crystals."
Lin Feng was not worried about the demons in the Dead Sea. He was looking for life core fragments. There might be many demon emperors in such a vast Dead Sea. He did not believe that there were no life core fragments within.
"All right, we'll wait here for Sage Lin Feng. Whether you can find the scarlet crystal or not, Sage Lin Feng must return within a month."
Sage Kang thought for a moment and finally came up with a compromise.
"All right, I'll return within a month, whether I find the scarlet crystal or not."
With that, Lin Feng deployed the Tidal Combat Body and walked into the Dead Sea step by step.

Chapter 344: Simplified Combat Body
Lin Feng's three-kilometer Tidal Combat Body looked huge on the ground, but as he slowly treaded into the Dead Sea, it was nothing considerable. His combat body quickly disappeared from the sight of the Sages.
When Lin Feng's combat body was completely enveloped by the seawater of the Dead Sea, he felt a little pressure.
The further down he went in a three-kilometer combat body, the greater the pressure.
Moreover, there seemed to be a "pull" in the Dead Sea that kept "pulling" Lin Feng's combat body down. With Lin Feng's strength, it was actually easy for him to break free from this "pull". However, he did not break free. Instead, he allowed his combat body to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.
In the meantime, Lin Feng saw many sea beasts. They were all specialized dire beasts in the Dead Sea. They lived in the depths of the Dead Sea and usually did not show themselves.
The bottom of the Dead Sea and the surface of the Dead Sea were almost two completely different worlds. At the bottom of the sea, the Dead Sea did not look so dead. On the contrary, it was very lively.
Some demon generals or demon kings could sense the pressure from Lin Feng's massive combat body, so they did not dare to approach. However, Lin Feng could take the initiative to attack.
Lin Feng captured some demon generals and demon kings. After killing them one after another, he realized that there were no fragments of life cores in their bodies. Lin Feng could not help but feel a little worried.
Could there really be no life core fragments in the Dead Sea of Abyss?
Boom.
Suddenly, Lin Feng realized that the sea was shaking violently. Two terrifying forces were transmitted from afar.
Being in the sea was different from being on the ground. If there was a violent fluctuation of power, it would spread very far in the sea. Even from so far away, Lin Feng could sense that this was definitely not the power of a demon king.
Demon emperor! Only demon emperors could emit such a terrifying fluctuation of power.
...
Hence, in order not to be discovered, Lin Feng's figure flashed and he quickly shrank to his normal size. However, he still felt that it was not enough. His appearance was too eye-catching.
Lin Feng reached out and grabbed many sea beasts.
Most of these sea beasts were ordinary sea beasts, and only a few were comparable to ordinary demons.
The cellular arrangement of ordinary demons was very complicated. Lin Feng simply chose a two-meter-long fish sea beast. He began to focus his mental power and constantly analyzed the cellular arrangement of this fish.
This was just an ordinary sea beast. It was only comparable to a professional martial artist, and had yet to even break the genetic lock.
Even so, its cellular arrangement was extremely complicated.
Lin Feng kept analyzing. It took him a few hours before he barely managed to analyze the cellular arrangement.
Hence, Lin Feng transformed. The cells of his combat body quickly changed according to the cell arrangement of this fish.
Soon, an identical fish appeared. This was a real fish, not a transfiguration technique. Although this was the first time Lin Feng had used the "Myriad Transformations" method, he did not feel much discomfort. Everything was going smoothly.
"Go!"
Lin Feng flicked his tail and quickly swam towards the violent fluctuations ahead.
As he approached the source of the fluctuation, many powerful sea beasts had long fled. It was really rare for a "little fish" like Lin Feng to dare to approach the source of the fluctuation.
However, this also saved him a lot of trouble. When Lin Feng approached the center of the fluctuation, he saw four sea beasts fighting ahead.
These four sea beasts were all especially massive, with sizes of about 500 meters or more. The fluctuations on their bodies were indeed at the level of demon emperors.
"I've finally encountered demon emperors!"
Lin Feng was overjoyed. He had not even entered the Dead Sea of Abyss for a day, and he had already encountered demon emperors. He could be considered very lucky.
However, these four sea beasts were very strange. It was obvious that the three sea beasts had joined forces and surrounded one of the sea beasts.
"What's going on?"
The four sea beasts stopped, but Lin Feng could clearly sense that their mental powers were fluctuating.
This fluctuation was more like communication between themselves.
Lin Feng was very surprised. It had to be known that even Sages did not know how to utilize mental power. Lin Feng had only learned the use of mental power after meeting Longbetham and obtaining the Mental Guidance Technique.
However, how could four mere demon emperors utilize mental power?
And from the looks of it, they were very experienced.
Since they could use mental power, Lin Feng did not dare to probe them with his mental power lightly. Hence, he did not know what the four sea beasts were "communicating" about.
However, it was obvious that as the sea beast in the middle became manic, this "communication" must have failed.
Hence, the four sea beasts began to fight.
The sea beast in the middle seemed to be very ferocious. It kept struggling to escape, but was firmly suppressed by the other three sea beasts. A clash at the bottom of the sea was entirely a head-on battle. The one with the stronger body would be more powerful.
The sea beasts in the middle might be the strongest of the four sea beasts, but unfortunately, its strength was very limited. It was completely at a disadvantage when surrounded by the three sea beasts.
Suddenly, a trace of red light flashed across the sea beast in the middle. Immediately after, its body began to expand.
Five hundred meters, six hundred meters, seven hundred meters, eight hundred meters…
In the blink of an eye, the body of the sea beast in the middle doubled in size, reaching almost a thousand meters.
How massive was a thousand-meter-long sea beast?
With just a sweep of its tail, it swept the three sea beasts aside.
The other three sea beasts also roared repeatedly, and their bodies actually expanded rapidly as well.
However, these three sea beasts were slightly inferior. The longest one had expanded to about 900 meters, while the worst of them was only about 700 meters.
How huge was the commotion from all the expanding sea beasts?
Four terrifying seawater vortices formed around them. Any sea beast caught within a radius of ten kilometers would die.
Lin Feng was very shocked. He actually did not take the strength of these sea beasts seriously, but their rapid expansion gave Lin Feng a very familiar feeling.
"These are combat bodies? But they don't quite look like it either."
Lin Feng frowned. When the bodies of these four sea beasts expanded rapidly, he had immediately thought of the combat body. However, once his combat body expanded, how terrifying would it be?
Even these four sea beasts combined would not be his match. But he studied the cosmic cultivation system and cultivated the Tidal Combat Body. Could these four sea beasts possibly cultivate the combat body?
"No, what they have isn't the combat body, but some method similar to combat bodies. A simplified version of the combat body?"
Lin Feng thought of this possibility. This was definitely not some bloodline innate ability, because there was a shadow of the combat body in it. Lin Feng had cultivated the Tidal Combat Body for so long, so he could naturally tell.
If these four sea beasts really used a method similar to a simplified combat body, it would be too astonishing.
This would mean that there must be a shocking secret at the bottom of the Dead Sea. It might even be related to the cosmic cultivation system.

Chapter 345: Sea Emperor Palace
The battle between the two parties was extremely intense. The sea beast that was surrounded was covered in injuries. It was on the verge of death.
Lin Feng decided not to hide himself anymore. Since the other party could use mental power, they could communicate through mental power. These were all demon emperors, and they must know many secrets at the bottom of the Dead Sea.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng swam out directly. The four demon emperors scanned with their mental power and clearly discovered Lin Feng.
"A small fish?"
Right now, Lin Feng was indeed an ordinary sea fish two meters in length. Before these demon emperors that were hundreds of meters tall, he was just a small fry.
However, how could a sea fish dare to approach the place where they were fighting?
The four sea beast emperors all felt that something was amiss, but before they could react, they saw the fish's body expand rapidly like a balloon.
Boom.
In the span of a few breaths, Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body had already expanded to three kilometers. The terrifying aura of the combat body immediately shook the seawater until it kept rolling. Even the four sea beast emperors forgot to move for a moment.
"Human?"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar mental power fluctuation entered Lin Feng's mind. Lin Feng naturally understood what it meant.
"That's right. I'm a Sage of humanity! Why are you fighting at the bottom of the sea?"
...
"Human, save me. I will definitely repay you!"
Sensing Lin Feng's powerful aura, the battered sea beast emperor hurriedly asked Lin Feng for help.
"What can you give me in return?" Lin Feng said with a faint smile.
"Human, we have not been at odds with each other. Why did you stop us from killing this traitor?"
The three sea beast emperors appeared very cautious, but also very angry. They did not interact much with humans, but in their impression, humans should not be this strong.
However, Lin Feng's aura was too powerful, and they had no choice but to be cautious.
"Human, as long as you can save me, I will give you half of the treasures I obtained in the Sea Emperor Palace."
The sea beast said hurriedly.
"What treasure?"
"Blood crystal!"
A hole gradually appeared in the sea beast's body, and it took out a huge scarlet crystal.
"A life core fragment?"
Lin Feng was shocked and excited at the same time. He did not expect to find such a huge life core fragment at the bottom of the sea.
Although this life core fragment was not as big as the life core fragment Lin Feng had obtained in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead, it was at least one-tenth the size.
"Shut up, you traitor! You dared to betray the great Sea Emperor. Do you remember how the Sea Emperor nurtured you to your current state? You are even colluding with humans now…"
Thud.
Before the sea beast could finish speaking, Lin Feng struck down with his palm.
The Tidal Combat Body erupted at full force. Although Lin Feng's strength encountered some obstructions at the bottom of the sea and he could only unleash 80% of his strength, even 80% of his strength was not something that a mere sea beast could contend against.
When this sea beast was struck by Lin Feng, its entire body actually exploded into a bloody mist in an instant. It did not even have the slightest ability to resist. The current Lin Feng was almost invincible against these powers at the level of Sages and demon emperors!
"Grr…"
The remaining two sea beasts were immediately shocked and furious. They charged towards Lin Feng in a frenzy, but it was in vain.
Lin Feng continued to grab with his palms. The bodies of the two sea beasts were instantly grabbed tightly. They struggled violently, but could not break free from Lin Feng's restraints.
"Submit or die!"
"Great Sea Emperor, avenge us…"
Thud. Thud.
Lin Feng did not hold back. These two sea beasts were quite strong, much stronger than the other demon emperors in the Outland. Hence, he squeezed hard, and the two demon emperors were instantly crushed.
A large amount of blood dyed the sea red.
The remaining sea beast also had a shocked expression. It had sensed that the aura of the human in front of it was not weak. He should be very strong, and should be able to resist the three sea beast emperors.
However, it did not expect Lin Feng to be so ferocious that he could kill three sea beast emperors at once.
This was a peerless god of massacre!
At this thought, the sea beast emperor could not help but shudder. Although it had temporarily escaped its pursuers, it did not know if falling into Lin Feng's hands was a blessing or a curse.
Seeing Lin Feng's gaze sweep over, the sea beast gritted its teeth and said, "I'll give you all the blood crystal. Thank you for saving me! However, the Sea Emperor Palace will still send sea beasts to hunt me down. I have to leave quickly."
This sea beast could not wait to leave.
Boom.
However, Lin Feng grabbed the sea beast at once.
"What… what do you want? I've already given you all the blood crystal."
The sea beast was very afraid. Lin Feng had been so ferocious just now, killing three sea beasts similar to itself without any warning. How could it not be scared?
"What is your name?"
"Botti, just call me Botti."
"Where did you get this crystal?"
"I stole this blood crystal from the Sea Emperor Palace. I've already given you all of it. I don't have any more blood crystals on me. Search me if you don't believe me."
"The Sea Emperor Palace? Tell me about this Sea Emperor Palace in detail. Once I'm satisfied, I'll let you go."
Out of fear, Botti could only satisfy Lin Feng's request now.
It turned out that the entire Dead Sea of Abyss was under the rule of the Sea Emperor Palace.
In the Sea Emperor Palace, there was an absolutely invincible hegemon—the Sea Emperor!
No one knew how old the Sea Emperor was. In short, many sea beast emperors in the Sea Emperor Palace had been brought to the Sea Emperor Palace by the Sea Emperor when they were at their weakest.
Then, the Sea Emperor would teach the sea beasts some special "cultivation method". This cultivation method was extremely unique. If one had good natural aptitude, they could grow rapidly.
However, the most important thing was the blood crystals. The Sea Emperor would usually bestow some blood crystals to every sea beast that reached a bottleneck.
Botti coveted the blood crystals, so it secretly stole some from the treasury of the Sea Emperor Palace. Hence, it was constantly hunted down by the sea beast emperors sent by the Sea Emperor Palace.
If it had not met Lin Feng this time, Botti would definitely have been brought back to the Sea Emperor Palace.
Lin Feng was very excited. He could tell that the Sea Emperor Palace was an extremely luxurious place that ruled over the entire Dead Sea of Abyss.
In particular, it was very likely that there were still many life core fragments in the Sea Emperor Palace!
"Do you know how strong the Sea Emperor is?"
Lin Feng was actually already tempted. He had come to the Dead Sea of Abyss to find life cores. Now that he knew where life cores were, he naturally would not let the chance slip by.
However, he was extremely wary of this Sea Emperor, especially since this seemingly simplified combat body was also imparted to the sea beasts by the Sea Emperor. This made Lin Feng even more vigilant.
Perhaps this Sea Emperor had also cultivated a combat body!

Chapter 346: Discovery
"The Sea Emperor's strength is unfathomably profound. We have never seen the Sea Emperor fight. However, no one dares to offend the Sea Emperor. He is the absolute hegemon of this entire sea!"
Even Botti felt deep fear when mentioning the Sea Emperor.
"If the Sea Emperor is so powerful, why did you dare to steal the blood crystal?"
"I… I wanted to prove to the Sea Emperor that I'm the true genius! Unfortunately, the Sea Emperor has already given up on me. He gave all the blood crystals to the Coral. I can't accept this!"
Lin Feng smiled. The intelligence of these sea beasts was actually about the same as that of humans. If jealousy could destroy a person, it could naturally destroy these sea beasts as well.
Botti was jealous of the Coral, and felt that the Sea Emperor was biased and gave all his resources for the Coral's use. Hence, it stole the blood crystal in anger and tried to escape.
It did not expect to end up like this.
"Is Coral the strongest among all the sea beasts?"
Even though Botti was a little unwilling, it still nodded and said, "The Coral is indeed a little stronger than I am now, but if I have the blood crystal, I can also reach or even surpass the Coral!"
Lin Feng did not care about what Botti was thinking. As long as Botti knew fear, that was enough for him.
"Botti, take me to the Sea Emperor Palace, then you may leave."
"What? Go to the Sea Emperor Palace? No, no, we can't go to the Sea Emperor Palace. I'll die if we go there!"
Botti's mental power stirred violently. It was clearly very afraid of the Sea Emperor Palace.
Lin Feng exerted force with his palm. Immediately, Botti felt the threat of death.
"If we go, you still have a chance to live. If we don't go, you'll die right now!"
Lin Feng stared coldly at Botti, and he even emitted a cold killing intent.
Botti was very conflicted, but on careful thought, Lin Feng must be going to the Sea Emperor Palace for the life core. When the time came, the Sea Emperor would only deal with Lin Feng, and it had a chance of escaping.
"All right, I'll take you there! But you have to promise to release me when we reach the Sea Emperor Palace."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you go when I get to the Sea Emperor Palace. Otherwise, you'll attract the attention of the Sea Emperor Palace. The gains won't make up for the losses."
Seeing that Lin Feng had agreed to it, Botti's body shook slightly, then shrank rapidly to 500 meters in size. It seemed unable to change the arrangement of its cells. Such a huge body was indeed very eye-catching.
Lin Feng quickly transformed into a "little fish" and followed behind Botti. If one was not careful, they would not even notice Lin Feng, the "little fish".
Along the way, Lin Feng was also slowly "digesting" the huge life core fragment. It contained a huge amount of energy that constantly attacked Lin Feng's combat body, but it was all absorbed by Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body.
The memory fragment that Lin Feng valued the most did not disappoint him. However, the memory fragment of this life core fragment seemed to indicate that the Leviathan was already in the cold universe. The Leviathan in the memory fragment had long become a planetary lifeform that constantly roamed the universe.
Lin Feng actually did not know much about the universe. Humans did not have the ability to break out of the Canopy, so they naturally could not enter the universe. Lin Feng only knew that the universe was very vast and cold.
As for the rest, Lin Feng had no idea.
Lin Feng felt as if he had experienced this memory fragment of the Leviathan personally. He felt that he had transformed into the Leviathan and encountered some planets filled with lifeforms. If there was no aura that was too powerful, the Leviathan would devour the entire planet.
The trillions of lifeforms on the planet naturally all became the energy in its body.
In the Leviathan's memory, there was not even the concept of right or wrong, only instinctive cultivation. This was its method of cultivation, a way to continuously become stronger.
One planet after another was converted into the energy in the Leviathan's body.
There were far more than trillions of lifeforms on those planets.
Perhaps there were civilizations like human civilizations, but they were devoured in an instant. This was the universe, cruel, indifferent, and filled with danger.
Perhaps this would befall the human civilization one day too. What would happen then?
Lin Feng fell into deep thought. Unknowingly, they had arrived at a place not far from an underground palace.
"We're here. That's the Sea Emperor Palace!"
Lin Feng was also jolted awake. He glanced at the Sea Emperor Palace in front of him. He had never seen such an architectural style before. However, what surprised him even more was how such a palace could be built in an underwater environment.
"Can I leave now?"
Botti asked cautiously. It did not dare to go any further now. If it went any further, it would definitely be discovered by the sea beasts in the Sea Emperor Palace. Then, it wouldn't be able to leave even if it wanted to.
"Tell me the location of the treasure vault in the Sea Emperor Palace, and you can leave."
Botti hurriedly nodded and introduced the location of the treasure vault in the Sea Emperor Palace to Lin Feng in detail.
After Lin Feng memorized it, he waved his hand and said, "All right, you can leave now."
Botti was overjoyed. It hurriedly turned around and left the Sea Emperor Palace.
A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. He had just left a small trick on Botti. Once it erupted, Botti would definitely be discovered.
Botti had left for a while. When Lin Feng estimated that it was about time, he suddenly activated the little trick he had left on Botti.
Boom.
Immediately, waves surged, and the entire seabed seemed to be shaking.
How could the sea beasts of the Sea Emperor Palace not notice such a huge commotion?
Hence, seven sea beasts immediately charged out of the Sea Emperor Palace. They were all sea beast emperors. If the three sea beast emperors Lin Feng had killed previously were included, wouldn't this mean that there were at least ten sea beast emperors in the Sea Emperor Palace alone?
At this thought, Lin Feng was also inwardly shocked. Just how strong was this Sea Emperor that he could actually nurture so many sea beast emperors?
However, after the seven sea beasts discussed among themselves for a while, they only sent five sea beasts to hunt down Botti. However, with Porti attracting so many sea beast emperors, Lin Feng's operation was undoubtedly much safer.
Lin Feng approached the Sea Emperor Palace silently. He could not see it from a distance, but when he got closer, he realized that there was a faint layer of blue light outside the Sea Emperor Palace. It was almost blended into the seawater, and was only visible upon careful inspection.
This layer of blue light also emitted energy fluctuations. It seemed like some kind of energy protecting the Sea Emperor Palace.
Lin Feng swam with all his might. It was like a membrane. There was not much resistance, and he entered easily.
"There's no more seawater?"
Lin Feng was surprised. As soon as he swam in, there was no more seawater. He almost fell to the ground.
Hence, Lin Feng simply returned to his human form and began to take in the Sea Emperor Palace.
The Sea Emperor Palace had an archaic feel to it. The buildings were all huge, and it was obvious that they were not meant for humans to live in. After all, most of these sea beasts were massive. Without huge residences, it would really be difficult to accommodate them.
"The Sea Emperor lives in the Sea Emperor Court!"
Lin Feng looked up. The Sea Emperor Court was too eye-catching.
Lin Feng was also very curious about the Sea Emperor. However, if not for the fact that the treasure vault was in the Sea Emperor Court, Lin Feng would not have approached the Sea Emperor Court so soon.
However, when Lin Feng approached the Sea Emperor Court, he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the Sea Emperor Court. That aura of life was simply too massive, so massive that even Lin Feng felt a little oppressed.
"Such a huge and exuberant life force. It's the Sea Emperor?"
Lin Feng was shocked and uncertain. He had never seen such an exuberant and massive life force. Even a demon emperor could not match a tenth of it.
Boom.
Suddenly, two sea beasts charged out of the Sea Emperor Palace. They were the two sea beast emperors that did not leave earlier. However, they only stared at Lin Feng and had no intention of attacking immediately. It was just that their eyes were filled with a "warning" look.
"Human, His Majesty the Sea Emperor requests your presence!"
The two sea beasts used their mental power to transmit a message to Lin Feng.
"The Sea Emperor wants to see me?"
Lin Feng glanced at the two sea beasts. He also understood that the Sea Emperor had probably already discovered him when he first entered the Sea Palace. After all, the Sea Emperor Palace belonged to the Sea Emperor, so there were definitely some methods for monitoring. He would have been discovered once he entered the Sea Palace.
Since he had already been discovered, Lin Feng calmed down instead.
"Lead the way!"
Lin Feng said calmly. He also wanted to learn about this Sea Emperor who unified the entire Dead Sea, and even had a simplified combat body.

Chapter 347: Sea Emperor
In the deep and dark Sea Emperor Palace, although Lin Feng appeared calm, he was actually secretly on guard.
He could tell that the two sea beast emperors did not have a good impression of him. If the Sea Emperor had not "invited" Lin Feng, the two sea beasts would probably have attacked long ago.
After the two sea beasts brought Lin Feng to the hall of the Sea Emperor Palace, they turned around and left.
Lin Feng did not dare to move, however, because he sensed a terrifying aura.
He looked up and saw a massive thing in front of him through the dim light. To be precise, it was a head!
This head was simply too huge. It was so huge that even when Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body, his head was far inferior to this head. Moreover, from the corner of his eye, Lin Feng saw that behind the head was something that seemed like the body of a huge snake, but was covered in dense gray scales.
The body was incomparably bulky, and it was coiled layer upon layer in the Sea Emperor Court.
His Majesty the Sea Emperor's body was entrenched in a huge hole.
As for how long the body was?
Lin Feng could not estimate it at all, but he was certain that it was definitely not inferior to his three-kilometer combat body, and might even be larger!
In particular, Lin Feng sensed a trace of lethal danger from the other party. It was the most dangerous entity Lin Feng had encountered since his third life transition. Even Dongfang Sheng was far inferior to it.
For a moment, Lin Feng was even prepared to use the Spear of Destruction immediately. Without it, Lin Feng would not even feel safe standing here.
"You are the Sea Emperor?" Lin Feng looked at the massive body and asked with his mental power.
"Human, you can call me the Sea Emperor. Which civilization is it now?"
The Sea Emperor's voice sounded directly in Lin Feng's mind. In terms of mental power alone, the Sea Emperor's mental power was even stronger than Lin Feng's.
However, Lin Feng was even more surprised that the Sea Emperor actually asked about the number of civilizations. It had to be known that even the other Sages of humanity only knew about ancient civilizations, but they did not know about the number of civilizations.
There was not even such a concept.
Lin Feng also learned from Longbetham that many civilizations had once existed in this world, but they had all been destroyed.
"Your Majesty, this is the ninth civilization!"
"The ninth civilization? How fast. In the blink of an eye, it's already the ninth civilization…"
The Sea Emperor's voice seemed filled with emotion, but it was not unexpected.
"You have the Spear of Destruction on you, right?"
The Sea Emperor's sudden words shocked Lin Feng.
How did the Sea Emperor know that he had the Spear of Destruction?
It had to be known that this Spear of Destruction was his greatest trump card!
Seemingly sensing Lin Feng's nervousness and vigilance, the Sea Emperor shook his huge head and said, "Don't worry, I won't snatch your Spear of Destruction. Moreover, the Spear of Destruction would only choose its own master. No one can take it by force! Since it has chosen you, you are its master."
"Your Majesty, how do you know about the Spear of Destruction?"
"It's very simple. The Spear of Destruction was once Master's weapon! My Master, the supreme king of gods of the first civilization, the God King of Destruction in charge of annihilation!"
"The first civilization, the God King of Destruction?"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He had heard of the God King of Destruction, but that was only a legend surrounding the Spear of Destruction in the second civilization. As for whether a God King of Destruction had really existed in history, even Longbetham had no idea.
After all, this involved the first civilization. Longbetham did not know either.
"Your Majesty, are you a lifeform from the first civilization?"
"That's right. In the first civilization, we called it the Godfiend Civilization, and some called it the Primordial Civilization! In that era, you would never have imagined that there were countless lifeforms like me. As for my master, the great God King of Destruction, as he obtained the Spear of Destruction and comprehended the annihilative power within it, he became the king of gods and the ruler of the entire world!"
The Sea Emperor seemed to long deeply for that era.
"Then, how was the first civilization destroyed?"
Lin Feng was also very nervous. All along, the first civilization seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. No one could unveil the veil of the first civilization and pry into its secrets.
And now, this Sea Emperor was practically a living fossil. He was a lifeform of the first civilization in the first place, so he must know a lot about the first civilization.
"That was a magnificent era. There were countless great lifeforms, but do you know that it was also an incomparably tragic era? All lifeforms were actually just pawns."
"Pawns?"
Lin Feng was inwardly shocked.
"That's right, manipulated pawns! You should know about the Canopy in the sky, right? It still hasn't dissipated until now. It's protecting this world, but isn't it also imprisoning the living beings of this world?"
"The one who set up the Canopy was the Celestial Master, a great entity that had never appeared, but truly existed! He created this world, created countless living beings, and treated countless living beings as experimental subjects. He created countless gods and demons, and innumerable powerful living beings. All this was for the birth of a planetary lifeform with six life transitions that surpassed all previous powerful lifeforms!
"My master, the God King of Destruction, obtained the Spear of Destruction. He had preliminary control over the annihilative power and slowly understood the Celestial Master's plan. Unfortunately, so what if he knew? He still couldn't escape the fate of a pawn in the end. Moreover, the Celestial Master created a monster, the Behemoth of Armageddon! It was born to destroy everything. That was a calamity. If we couldn't stop the Behemoth of Armageddon, the entire world will be destroyed.
"My master, the God King of Destruction, led the gods to fight the Behemoth of Armageddon! In the end, the entire world was almost destroyed. Master used the Spear of Destruction at the cost of his life to severely injure the Behemoth of Armageddon. From then on, the Behemoth of Armageddon fell into a deep slumber. Every time the Behemoth of Armageddon was about to awaken, the Spear of Destruction would appear. Only the Spear of Destruction could severely injure the Behemoth of Armageddon.
"From the first civilization to the second civilization, and even the third, fourth, and finally the eighth civilization after that, every civilization was destroyed. However, at the same time, the appearance of the Spear of Destruction would also deal a heavy blow to the Behemoth of Armageddon, causing it to continue slumbering. The cycle repeats."
The Sea Emperor's voice was low and infectious.
Without any unnecessary embellishment, Lin Feng was already deeply immersed in the story told by the Sea Emperor. Even though he had imagined and speculated about the grandeur of the first civilization, he never expected there to be such a story.
This story was so magnificent and surreal that even Lin Feng found it somewhat incredible.
However, Lin Feng's intuition told him clearly that all of it was very likely true!

Chapter 348: Seeking the Life Core
The story told by the Sea Emperor was too surreal. Lin Feng still could not believe that all of this was true. However, his intuition told him that it was very likely that the Sea Emperor was telling the truth.
"Your Majesty, since the first civilization was destroyed, how did you survive?"
Lin Feng was a little curious. The first civilization had been destroyed, so why was the Sea Emperor the only one left behind?
"Do you see this sea? This is the Dead Sea of Abyss. Do you know why this place is deathly silent? Actually, this is the burial ground of countless powerful lifeforms after the first civilization war."
"After those great lifeforms with three, four, or even five life transitions died in battle, as long as there were corpses, they would be thrown in here. As time passed, the aura of death here grew too strong, so the Dead Sea of Abyss was formed. Back on the battlefield, I was also severely injured by the Behemoth of Armageddon. Master buried me here."
"However, I did not die. Instead, absorbing the aura of death here allowed me to comprehend the true meaning of death, and thus undergo the fourth life transitions. Unfortunately, after I underwent the fourth life transitions, the first civilization was already destroyed, and Master had long fallen in battle. In my despair, I continued to sequester myself in the Dead Sea of Abyss. This is a perilous place for life, yet it is a paradise that allowed me to escape the Behemoth of Armageddon time and time again."
Boom.
The Sea Emperor moved. Its body began to uncoil bit by bit, and it lifted its head. It appeared like a gigantic snake. Even the dark seawater was separated.
Its body was massive to the extreme, at least ten kilometers in size!
"Four life transitions, a ten-kilometer combat body!"
Lin Feng's mouth fell open. Looking at the Sea Emperor's body, he was certain that the Sea Emperor must have cultivated the combat body. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have a body of ten kilometers after four life transitions.
Only the combat body could achieve it!
"Your Majesty, do you cultivate the combat body?"
"That's right, human. I cultivate the combat body passed down by Master! However, Master's combat body was also passed down by the mysterious Celestial Master. I see that you also have a combat body, right?"
"That's right. I also have a combat body, but I have only undergone three life transitions."
Hence, Lin Feng also deployed the Tidal Combat Body. It was a terrifying combat body of three kilometers. Although the pressure was not as strong as the Sea Emperor's combat body, it was still a genuine combat body!
Moreover, in essence, Lin Feng's combat body was even stronger than the Sea Emperor's.
"You can have such a huge combat body after three life transitions? Not bad, not bad. It's even stronger than Master's combat body back then! Which God King's combat body legacy did you obtain?"
"I'm not sure either…"
Lin Feng decided to conceal it. Longbetham's matter was too secretive. Before he obtained Bemond's true legacy, he would not reveal this secret.
The Sea Emperor only thought that Lin Feng had obtained the combat body legacy of a certain God King from the first civilization. After all, there were other God Kings apart from the God King of Destruction back then. It was just that the God King of Destruction possessed the Spear of Destruction, and was the strongest.
In terms of combat body alone, the other God Kings were not inferior to the God King of Destruction.
Looking at the Sea Emperor's massive combat body, Lin Feng was actually under a lot of pressure. In terms of the combat body alone, there was actually still a certain gap between his combat body with three life transitions and four life transitions. After all, the difference of seven kilometers was not something that could be made up for casually.
Only the Spear of Destruction in Lin Feng's body made him feel slightly at ease. If he unleashed the Spear of Destruction at all costs, even the combat body of the Sea Emperor might not be able to withstand the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction.
However, at that time, Lin Feng's combat body might also collapse. Lin Feng would not choose to fight the Sea Emperor unless absolutely necessary.
"Your Majesty, why are you telling me all this? This should be very confidential information. Why are you telling me, a human you just met?"
Lin Feng stared intently at the Sea Emperor. He did not think the Sea Emperor would be so altruistic.
"Because the Spear of Destruction chose you! Master once said that the Spear of Destruction is the only power that can deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon. The next time the Behemoth of Armageddon awakens, if it wants to destroy the entire world, we will have to rely on you and the Spear of Destruction. Although I've lived for so long, I have no desire to die. Hence, I chose to tell you all of this so that you can prepare early."
Lin Feng was still a little skeptical. Just because of the Spear of Destruction?
However, this explanation also made sense, if barely. The Sea Emperor definitely did not want to die. No living being would want to die. There was hope as long as one was alive. Even though the Sea Emperor had lived through eight civilizations, he would still want to live.
"Your Majesty, is there no way to kill the Behemoth of Armageddon completely? I don't want to see my civilization destroyed in this cycle."
Indeed, Lin Feng did not want to see the destruction of human civilization. If that happened, so what if he severely injured the Behemoth of Armageddon? It would just fall into slumber again. Meanwhile, the human civilization would have long been destroyed, and even Lin Feng would die.
"I don't know how to kill the Behemoth of Armageddon completely, either. After all, even my master, the God King of Destruction, couldn't achieve it back then. My master, the God King of Destruction, had undergone five life transitions back then and wielded the Spear of Destruction, but he still failed to kill the Behemoth of Armageddon."
"The Behemoth of Armageddon was created by the Celestial Master for the purpose of destroying the entire world. Perhaps it's really just as Master had speculated. Only by undergoing six life transitions and becoming a planetary lifeform can one perhaps kill the Behemoth of Armageddon completely."
Lin Feng nodded to himself. This was also what Longbetham had once said.
The Spear of Destruction could deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon, but it was hard to say if it could kill it. Lin Feng finally understood why the third civilization had used the Spear of Destruction to create the Annihilation Cannon.
It turned out to be for the purpose of dealing with the Behemoth of Armageddon.
Perhaps the second to the eighth civilizations all had various kinds of special methods to utilize the Spear of Destruction. Otherwise, the Behemoth of Armageddon would not have fallen into a slumber again and again.
Without the Spear of Destruction, this world could not have preserved the spark of civilization, allowing civilizations to be born into this world again and again.
Lin Feng did not want a repeat of such a "story".
He would protect human civilization, but he would not just severely injure the Behemoth of Armageddon. He would find a way to kill it completely.
Lin Feng also had a unique advantage, because he did not just rely on the Spear of Destruction. His Tidal Combat Body was created by a great galactic lifeform.
After his fourth life transition, he would also obtain the true legacy of the galactic lifeform, Bemond. At that time, he would surpass the strongest beings of various civilizations in history, and even have a chance of surpassing the Sea Emperor's master, the God King of Destruction.
At that time, it would not be impossible for Lin Feng to kill the Behemoth of Armageddon completely and end this repeating cycle.
However, what Lin Feng lacked now was time and strength! He needed to seize the time and increase his strength.
Hence, Lin Feng said to the Sea Emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm here to ask you for something."
"What is it? You are the one chosen by the Spear of Destruction, and the one who will fight against the Behemoth of Armageddon in the future. I will try my best to satisfy your conditions." The Sea Emperor replied generously.
"I need a large amount of life cores!" Lin Feng said frankly, staring intently at the Sea Emperor,

Chapter 349: The Sea Emperor's Sincerity
"A large amount of life cores?"
The Sea Emperor's expression gradually turned solemn, and the atmosphere gradually froze.
Since the Sea Emperor was silent, it naturally meant that he understood the importance of the life core very well. He knew that this was a rare treasure.
"I can give you the life core! However, you must use the life core fragments here. Use as much as you can, even if you have to undergo four life transitions here. You absolutely must not take it outside!"
This was the Sea Emperor's condition.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "All right, I agree!"
The Sea Emperor nodded. Then, he heaved a long sigh and said, "These life core fragments are scattered all over the world. I suspect that even the Behemoth of Armageddon devoured many life core fragments. Master had also obtained life core fragments before, so he underwent five life transitions in the end.
"It's a pity that I lack natural aptitude. Even though I've obtained many life core fragments, I've only undergone four life transitions so far. For this reason, I've even given the life core fragments to some sea beasts that I think are talented. However, up until now, no one has reached a satisfactory level. If you can rely on these to undergo four life transitions and increase your strength, it can be considered making the best use of the resources."
The two sea beasts from before appeared in the Sea Emperor Court again. The Sea Emperor said to the two sea beasts, "Send this distinguished guest to the cultivation ground. Transfer the life core to the cultivation ground for this distinguished guest's use."
The two sea beasts were shocked. That was the life core, the most precious treasure of the Sea Emperor Palace. How could it be used by outsiders? Moreover, it was a human.
"Your Majesty…"
"There's no need to say anything else. Execute your order."
The Sea Emperor's massive body slowly coiled up again. His massive head gradually retracted into the cave, as if he had already begun slumbering again.
...
"Come with us."
Although they were somewhat unwilling, the two sea beasts still did not dare to disobey the Sea Emperor's order.
Lin Feng followed behind the two sea beasts. They passed through layers of corridors and finally arrived at a square. Yes, it was a square. Moreover, it stretched as far as the eye could see. White light enveloped the entire place. It was very safe and spacious.
Lin Feng nodded to himself. This was the cultivation ground. With such a huge space, forget about his three-kilometer combat body, it could accommodate even a 30-kilometer body.
"Wait here. We'll transport the life core."
The two sea beasts were not very polite to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not mind. After the two sea beasts left, he used his mental power to scan the surroundings again, and found that he was not being spied on.
"Longbetham, to what extent do you think the Sea Emperor was telling the truth?"
Lin Feng called out to Longbetham in his mind. Compared to the Sea Emperor, he naturally trusted Longbetham more.
"About 70-80%. I have never met this Sea Emperor before, but the aura on its body and the combat body it condensed are indeed those of four life transitions, and it cultivates via the cosmic cultivation system. If what it said is true, and the first civilization was that prosperous, that mysterious Celestial Master is unimaginably powerful.
"However, I do not quite believe that the mysterious Celestial Master has the ability to create lifeforms. Even galactic lifeforms cannot create lifeforms, let alone create a powerful lifeform like the Behemoth of Armageddon, which is only one step away from a planetary lifeform.
"Lin Feng, this Sea Emperor may just want to use you to deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon. He does not have any schemes against you. With his strength, he can completely crush you now. There is no need for him to deal with you through scheming."
Lin Feng nodded. He had also sensed that this Sea Emperor was rather afraid of the Behemoth of Armageddon. He had experienced so many civilizations, but had never showed himself, and was hiding in the Dead Sea of Abyss. No matter how strong he was, he probably wouldn't dare to stand against the Behemoth of Armageddon.
However, Lin Feng was different. Lin Feng had the Spear of Destruction, and was the person chosen by the Spear of Destruction. He was destined to resist the Behemoth of Armageddon. For this reason, the Sea Emperor could also support Lin Feng with all he had.
"By the way, Longbetham, the Sea Emperor mentioned that his master, the God King of Destruction, also commanded the Spear of Destruction. Why could he still not kill the Behemoth of Armageddon?"
"The Spear of Destruction is an Origin Weapon. To completely master it, one must be a planetary lifeform with six life transitions. The God King of Destruction probably only had preliminary control over the Spear of Destruction, like you, and could draw out some of the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction."
"Even so, the God King of Destruction had undergone five life transitions and had preliminary control over the Spear of Destruction. Why was he still no match for the Behemoth of Armageddon?"
"That only means that the Behemoth of Armageddon is stronger! Lin Feng, you should not be held back by any fear or worry now. There is still time before the Behemoth of Armageddon awakens. You just need to slowly increase your strength."
Longbetham also sensed Lin Feng's anxiety and sense of urgency. If this went on, it would actually not be of much help to life transitions.
"That's right. I should try my best to undergo four life transitions before accepting the true legacy of the Bemond! Perhaps I can find a way to deal with the Behemoth of Armageddon from it."
Lin Feng slowly calmed his agitated emotions.
Not long after, the two sea beasts arrived. However, the life core fragment they transported stunned Lin Feng.
There was a huge scarlet crystal, like a small hill, emitted a rich aura of life. This life core fragment was more than ten times larger than the life core fragment Lin Feng had obtained in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead!
In the past, when Lin Feng obtained a life core fragment, it was at most equivalent to one percent of a complete life core. This huge life core fragment was at least one-tenth of it.
"A life core fragment so huge is not just filled with energy, but probably contains many intact memory fragments of the Leviathan, right?"
Lin Feng was really overwhelmed with emotions. Originally, he only wanted to obtain some life core fragments, but he had still underestimated the Sea Emperor, and his billions of years of accumulation.
Perhaps this huge life core fragment was also the greatest "sincerity" the Sea Emperor had expressed to Lin Feng.
Hence, Lin Feng immediately used the Tidal Combat Body and began to encompass this huge life core fragment, absorbing it with wild abandon.
…
In Dragonlith City, ever since the Screwworm incident, the academic faction had sent out some Divine Realm and Meta-divine Realm martial artists to sweep through the area. The frontline base had advanced by over a hundred kilometers.
The entire Dragonlith City had become very safe, and the economy was thriving again.
In the amusement park of Dragonlith City, many adults were playing with their children. Everyone had blissful and satisfied smiles on their faces.
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
Without people's knowledge, some tiny insects appeared suddenly in the amusement park. These insects were not big, and appeared like mantises. They were inconspicuous in the dark corners.

Chapter 350: The Reappearance of the Parasites
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
As more and more insects appeared, the voices became more and more noisy. However, amidst the cries of the children, they did not attract the attention of others.
A small insect slowly climbed onto the wooden horse in the amusement park and onto the body of a little boy. Then, it silently burrowed into his ear.
The little boy only felt uncomfortable and cried loudly like he's gone insane. The little boy's parents were a little bewildered and did not know what was wrong with their child.
Bang.
Without any warning, the little boy's entire body exploded. Blood splattered everywhere. Everyone around was stunned. The little boy's parents were only more horrified by the sudden turn of events.
However, the little boy's body did not collapse. Instead, it turned into a huge worm that opened its maw and brandished its claws. It dragged the little boy's parents straight into its mouth. After chewing for a few times, it swallowed them.
Immediately, the entire amusement park fell into chaos. The people in the amusement park probably would not forget such a terrifying scene for the rest of their lives.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
As more and more insects appeared, countless people exploded. It wasn't just children anymore, but also those adults.
"These… These are parasites!"
"The parasitic species has appeared again…"
The people of Dragonlith City were very familiar with the parasitic species. When they saw these horrifying huge parasites, they immediately thought of the parasitic Screwworms.
The parasitic species had reappeared. This tragedy did not only occur in the amusement park. In various places in Dragonlith City, such as restaurants, squares, stations, and so on, wherever there was dense traffic, the parasitic species appeared.
The alarm in Dragonlith City had long been raised. The law enforcement team quickly mobilized.
Owing to the Dragonlith City's special status, there was even a Legate overseeing it. However, the Divine Realm Legate was also at his wits' end now, because he had no idea how these parasites had entered Dragonlith City at all.
In the past, weren't those Screwworms all huge and conspicuous? Moreover, there were frontline bases. How did these parasites bypass the frontline bases?
However, the moment he saw those tiny mantis-like parasites, he understood.
Beep-beep-beep.
The Legate picked up the call.
"The frontline bases have all fallen… Please evacuate quickly. The parasitic species is here again…"
"Again?"
The Legate's expression was grim and uncertain. The information from the frontline base had come too late. The parasite race had already infiltrated Dragonlith City. The entire population of Dragonlith City, numbering in millions, was in danger.
"Die!"
The Legate struck out with his palm. Terrifying Astral Power condensed into a huge palm that slapped numerous parasites to death. However, this was only a very small portion of the parasites.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, a parasite, still very tiny, charged straight towards the Legate with a scarlet light.
Thump.
The Legate's eyes widened. What did he see? Even the Astral Power in his body could not stop this tiny parasite from boring into his body.
"No, no…"
The Legate panicked. He wanted to expel the parasite from his body, but that parasite seemed to possess powerful strength. It was not an ordinary parasite at all.
Boom.
Finally, the Legate exploded as well. At the moment of his death, he finally realized that this was no ordinary parasite, but a demon general!
But if even the demon generals of the parasitic species were so good at disguise, was this really the end of humanity?
Chaos. The entire Dragonlith City was in chaos. Be it the five major factions or the law enforcement team, they could no longer control the situation in Dragonlith City.
This time, the parasitic species seemed to have come prepared. Moreover, they seemed to have "evolved", becoming more adept at disguise and stronger.
"Quick, inform Lord Sage…"
The situation was out of control. They could only inform the Sages of humanity and pray for the descent of the Sages to stop this calamity.
…
"Why hasn't Sage Lin Feng emerged after so many days?"
"Could something have gone wrong?"
"The Dead Sea of Abyss is filled with danger, and we can't contact Sage Lin Feng now. We can only wait for now."
Ten days had already passed. The eight Sages at the shore of the Dead Sea of Abyss were all a little worried. After all, Lin Feng had already entered the Dead Sea of Abyss for ten days, but he still had not returned.
Even Sages did not dare to enter the Dead Sea of Abyss lightly. That was why they were so worried.
However, they had an agreement on the duration of one month with Lin Feng. As long as the duration of one month was not up, they would continue to wait.
Beep-beep-beep.
Suddenly, the communicators of the Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, and the others rang.
"What's going on?"
Sage Kang and the others looked at each other. Then, the communicators of the Sages from the military faction rang. Almost all the communicators of the eight Sages rang.
The communicators of the eight Sages rang one after another. All the Sages' expressions changed. Could something major have happened in human society? Otherwise, how could the eight Sages all be notified at once?
Hence, the Sages all picked up their communicators.
"What? The parasitic species has appeared again?"
"Moreover, the entire Dragonlith City is in danger. Even the Legate has been parasitized."
"At least half of the million people in Dragonlith City have been parasitized…"
The eight Sages received the news at the same time, and this news was too shocking. It left the eight Sages in disbelief, and they were all stunned at the same time.
Hadn't the parasitic species been annihilated the last time? Why were the parasitic species making a comeback this time?
Moreover, how had the situation become so dire?
"Invincible Fist Sage, I remember that you were the one investigating the parasitic species, right?"
Sage Kang's expression darkened. Millions of people had been parasitized. How great a loss was this?
The Invincible Fist Sage's expression was also very solemn. He did not avoid his responsibility. This was indeed his negligence.
"Sage Kang, I was indeed in charge of the investigation of the parasitic species. However, I did not find out that there were other parasites back then, just like how the parasitic species in Dragonlith City appeared out of thin air. After that, the parasitic species had not appeared again, so I did not continue the investigation."
The Invincible Fist Sage also clenched his fists tightly. His negligence had caused humanity to pay such a heavy price now.
"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. How should we deal with it?" Sage Yuanyi hurriedly said.
"I'll go to Dragonlith City to deal with the parasites! I will definitely get them all this time and wipe them out completely without reprieve!" The Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth and said.
However, Sage Kang frowned and said, "No one can say for sure how strong those parasites are after making a comeback. It's not prudent for the Invincible Fist Sage to go alone. I think we should send half of our forces. Four Sages will go, and the rest will still wait here to reinforce Sage Lin Feng."
"We'll go with the Invincible Fist Sage."
Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass stepped forward. The three Sages of the academic faction had always advanced and retreated together.
"Count me in."
Sage Claus also stepped forward. He was prepared to "make amends". After all, he had joined forces with Sage Batai last time. Even though Lin Feng did not hold him accountable, he still felt a little guilty.
"All right, thank you for your trouble, Sages!"
Sage Kang nodded. Hence, the four Sages immediately boarded their airships and rushed towards Dragonlith City.

Chapter 351: Broodmother
Dragonlith City had completely turned into a living hell now.
In just half a day, the entire Dragonlith City had collapsed. The millions of cities were instantly captured by the parasitic species. Moreover, most of the parasites had already parasitized the humans in Dragonlith City.
Be it children, elderly, men, women, or even martial artists, they were all parasitized.
This time, the parasites were even more vicious. Although the parasites were also very difficult to deal with last time, at least they could not parasitize martial artists who had broken the genetic lock.
But now, not only were Metamorphic Realm martial artists who had broken the genetic lock parasitized, even Divine Realm martial artists who had undergone two life transitions could not escape the fate of being parasitized.
What was even more terrifying was that the parasites' target did not seem to be just Dragonlith City. After basically occupying Dragonlith City, the parasites also spread to the cities around Dragonlith City. Once they spread, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Humanity was facing a true calamity!
At this moment, there were still some people hiding in Dragonlith City. They were not parasitized by the insects, but they were barely surviving. Once they were discovered, only death awaited them.
A little boy was stuffed into the closet by his mother. He watched helplessly as his mother was parasitized by the insect. The little boy was strong enough not to cry out loud and continued to hide in the closet.
However, a parasite still caught the little boy's scent and suddenly tore the closet apart. The little boy's eyes were filled with fear.
Boom.
Suddenly, a dazzling hand grabbed the parasite and crushed it.
At the same time, four airships flew over from the sky, and four Sages walked out.
The Invincible Fist Sage brought the little boy into the airship and said in a low voice, "Stay here for now."
"Uncle, are you going to kill those parasites?"
"Yes. I'm going to kill those parasites and save more people."
"Uncle, I'll stay here quietly. Uncle, please avenge Mom!"
The boy's eyes were bloodshot, but he stayed strong and did not cry.
The tragedy in Dragonlith City forced a child who was only about ten too mature in an instant.
The Invincible Fist Sage felt a faint twinge in his heart. It was because of his negligence that the entire Dragonlith City had become a dead city.
"All the parasites deserve to die!"
The Invincible Fist Sage's killing intent soared. Hence, he unleashed the Divine Kingdom of Fire completely.
The number of people who were still alive in the entire Dragonlith City could be counted on one hand. The Invincible Fist Sage did not have any reservations as he deployed the Divine Kingdom of Fire. Enveloped in the Divine Kingdom, all the parasites were burned to ashes by the flames.
Regardless of whether these parasites had the ability to "regenerate", how could they regenerate after being burned to ashes?
How terrifying was the wrath of a Sage?
The Invincible Fist Sage attacked in rage. The Divine Kingdom enveloped a radius of a kilometer, and all the parasites were burned to ashes. Enveloped by the Divine Kingdom, be they ordinary parasites, ordinary demons, or demon generals, they were all helplessly burned to ashes.
The most terrifying regenerative ability of the parasites was completely countered by the Divine Kingdom of the Sages!
For a moment, the four Sages attacked with all their might, clearing out all the parasites in four direction.
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
The parasites began to feel fear. They fled in all directions in a frenzy. However, no matter how they fled, how could they escape the cover of the Sages' Divine Kingdoms?
The Astral Power of the Sages was nigh infinite. The Divine Kingdoms formed from Astral Power were the supreme killing weapons on the battlefield. Numbers were meaningless to Sages.
As the four Sages swept through, all the parasites in Dragonlith City began to flee in panic.
Countless parasites surrounded a tall building in the center of Dragonlith City.
The four Sages quickly discovered the abnormality here. Hence, they gathered and advanced towards the downtown building.
"There must be something that these parasites value very much in this building."
The Invincible Fist Sage said coldly.
"No matter what it is, kill it!"
The Invincible Fist Sage's Divine Kingdom of Fire enveloped it at once. Endless flames began blazing. The Invincible Fist Sage's Divine Kingdom of Flames burned relentlessly. Even the entire building would be burned down.
Boom.
Suddenly, the building shook violently. Immediately after, countless parasites exited the building.
The entire building shook violently. Then, the building collapsed with a huge commotion.
Amidst the dust, the four Sages all sensed a strong aura of danger.
"That's…"
The eyes of the four Sages widened. What did they see?
In the ruins of the building, an ugly, hideous, and massive parasite appeared. This parasite's entire body was covered in terrifying tumors. Moreover, these tumors would explode from time to time, and tiny mantis-like parasites would crawl out of them.
Then, they quickly spread in all directions.
"This giant worm is the culprit. It can constantly produce ordinary parasites. In fact, all the parasites, be it ordinary parasites, those demons, or those demon generals and demon kings, were all bred by this giant worm. It is the broodmother of the parasites!"
The four Sages were all very surprised. No one had expected a broodmother to appear among the parasites this time.
Moreover, the speed at which the broodmother reproduced was simply too astonishing. As long as the broodmother continued to devour things like humans and dire beasts, it would be able to constantly produce parasites.
As long as there was time, it would be a piece of cake for the broodmother to produce billions of parasites.
This broodmother was too terrifying. If it was allowed to reproduce, the entire human civilization would probably be destroyed in the end, especially this broodmother. It was very likely to be a demon emperor!
"Sages, we absolutely cannot allow the broodmother to continue reproducing! Let's join forces and kill the broodmother!"
The Invincible Fist Sage's expression also turned solemn.
"Attack!"
The four Sages did not hesitate at all and immediately attacked.
Four different Divine Kingdoms and four Astral Force Fields suddenly enveloped the broodmother. The terrifying pressure distorted the air.
Anger also appeared in the broodmother's huge eyes. Then, its already huge body continued to expand.
A layer of scarlet light enveloped the broodmother's entire body as the four Divine Kingdoms covering its body.
Various force field of flames, violent winds, and so on intertwined, firmly suppressing the broodmother.
How powerful was the combined strength of four Sages?
Even the broodmother was pressed to the ground at once. Its entire body was being suppressed by the power of the Divine Kingdoms. Even the tentacles on its body were severed and burned by the various powers of the Divine Kingdom, turning into ashes.
"Grr…"
The broodmother suddenly roared at the sky. It felt as if its entire body was under incredible pressure, but it still stood up step by step.
Boom.
Suddenly, the broodmother's body began to expand. A faint layer of blood-colored light shone, enveloping its body. In the blink of an eye, it had already expanded to five kilometers.
Its huge body was like a mountain stretching on without end. It stared coldly at the four Sages, as if they were tiny ants.
