Chapter 357: Four Life Transitions
Rumble.
Every cell in Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body was cheering, eager and yearning.
This was the first time Lin Feng had felt such a natural life transition.
This meant that his accumulation was truly abundant.
In the past, be it the first life transition, the second life transition, or the third life transition, Lin Feng had always “initiated” the life transition. Furthermore, his first life transition only succeeded due to potential compelled by a life-or-death situation.
Actually, that was not a good thing. It would gradually exhaust one’s potential. The most ideal thing was to undergo life transition naturally without steering it.
For example, the Leviathan accumulated step by step through instinct. Through billions of years of continuous accumulation and devouring, every life transition was a natural success.
Only by doing this would its potential be greater in the future. This was also why the Leviathan could undergo six life transitions in its ignorance, and eventually become a planetary lifeform.
Lin Feng’s cells began to divide. His three-kilometer combat body expanded wildly, and the arrangement of his combat body was completely disrupted. At this moment, Lin Feng naturally visualized the fourth level of the Combat Body Guidance Technique, regarding the arrangement of cells during the fourth life transition of the Tidal Combat Body.
His mental power was also slowly guiding the arrangement of the combat body.
…
Three kilometers, four kilometers, five kilometers…
The speed at which Lin Feng’s combat body expanded was incredible. Moreover, such a huge commotion naturally shook the entire Sea Emperor Palace.
“He actually woke up, and started the fourth life transition…”
The Sea Emperor was very surprised. He had clearly seen how Lin Feng lost in the Leviathan’s memories. He thought that Lin Feng might never wake up again in this life.
However, not only had Lin Feng awakened, he had also undergone the fourth life transition. Just the idea of it was astonishing.
However, considering that Lin Feng had been chosen by the Spear of Destruction, the Sea Emperor was not that surprised.
“The being chosen by destiny, you have infinite potential. Unfortunately, you still can’t escape the cycle…”
The Sea Emperor heaved a long sigh. He had actually long lost hope.
The Behemoth of Armageddon destroyed the world again and again, and the being chosen by the Spear of Destruction would always appear to stop the Behemoth of Armageddon.
It happened time after time in an unending cycle that repeats itself. It was like a fixed program. When the time came, the program would activate, and things would end in the conclusion established by the program.
Lin Feng might indeed be the person chosen by the Spear of Destruction, and might indeed be able to stop the Behemoth of Armageddon. However, that was all. The Behemoth of Armageddon would still destroy human civilization, and Lin Feng would die. However, before he died, he would also severely injure the Behemoth of Armageddon and make it enter a slumber again.
The Sea Emperor had already witnessed how such a “script” played out eight times!
The Sea Emperor was already numb. He could not change the grand scheme, and he could not escape this planet. In that case, he naturally neither supported nor obstructed Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s combat body was still expanding, but the Sea Emperor no longer paid attention to it. This time, he was really slumbering. He only instructed that Lin Feng could leave the Sea Emperor Palace at any time.
Six kilometers, seven kilometers, eight kilometers…
The speed at which Lin Feng’s combat body expanded was simply too fast. Even the life core fragment he had obtained in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead probably could not support the expansion of Lin Feng’s massive combat body.
However, Lin Feng’s life core fragment was more than ten times that of the life core fragment in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead!
Such a massive life core fragment was accumulated by the Leviathan over billions of years. The amount of energy in it far exceeded Lin Feng’s imagination. Hence, Lin Feng could strengthen the Tidal Combat Body to his heart’s content.
In the blink of an eye, the Tidal Combat Body had already expanded to more than 10 kilometers, but it was not over. It was still expanding rapidly. Its massive body allowed Lin Feng to look down on the entire Sea Emperor Palace.
Only by looking down did he realize how powerful the Sea Emperor Palace was. The accumulation of the Sea Emperor over billions of years was indeed extraordinary.
The originally huge life core fragment was actually shrinking rapidly as Lin Feng’s combat body continued to expand. In the blink of an eye, it had shrunken considerably. Moreover, even with the naked eye, one could see the life core shrinking
The two sea beast emperors in the Sea Emperor Palace were also paying attention to Lin Feng and the life core fragment. Their hearts ached as they watched the life core fragment shrink bit by bit.
This was the accumulation of billions of years in the Sea Emperor Palace, the supreme treasure of the Sea Emperor Palace! Now, it had been absorbed by a mere human like Lin Feng. However, the Sea Emperor had once ordered that no one was allowed to disturb Lin Feng’s life transition. Hence, despite their discontent, they did not disturb Lin Feng.
Lin Feng also nodded to himself. He naturally saw all of this, and considered it a favor he owed the Sea Emperor.
Ten kilometers, fifteen kilometers, twenty kilometers, twenty-five kilometers…
Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body had already expanded to the point that Lin Feng felt a little uncomfortable. It was too powerful. He had never felt so powerful before. Fortunately, he was at the bottom of the sea. Otherwise, his combat body, which was dozens of kilometers in size, would probably have long reached the atmosphere.
When Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body expanded to 30 kilometers, it gradually began to stop expanding as well, finally stopping at 31 kilometers.
A 31-kilometer combat body was several times stronger than the Sea Emperor’s combat body. Even without using the Spear of Destruction, Lin Feng could easily destroy the Sea Emperor Palace and defeat the Sea Emperor.
However, the huge life core fragment had now shrunken to the size of a millstone. It was really insignificant.
The Sea Emperor Palace could be considered to have invested heavily this time. Without this huge life core fragment, Lin Feng could forget about successfully undergoing a life transition, let alone condensing such a huge combat body.
It had to be known that without sufficient energy, once the combat body was finalized, even if it could continue to grow in the future, its growth would be limited. This was also why Longbetham placed so much emphasis on energy.
“Lin Feng, that was really dangerous. You were lost in the memory fragments of the Leviathan. I kept calling to you, but it was useless.”
Longbetham’s voice sounded in Lin Feng’s mind. There was still some anxiety and lingering fear in Longbetham’s tone.
Once Lin Feng was lost in the Leviathan’s memories, the consequences would be unthinkable. Lin Feng had really taken too much risk this time.
“Longbetham, how can there be gains without effort? Even though I was almost assimilated this time, I’ve finally succeeded. With four life transitions, I can accept your master’s true legacy, right?”
Lin Feng naturally did not forget that he had yet to obtain the true legacy.
Only after four life transitions could one obtain Bemond’s legacy.
“Of course you can obtain the legacy! Master’s legacy will definitely be astounding. It definitely will not disappoint you.”
“All right, let’s go now!”
Lin Feng quickly put away the 31-kilometer Tidal Combat Body and prepared to bid farewell to the Sea Emperor.
