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 att.i.tude 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.
