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 pa.s.sed, 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 ma.s.sive 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 pa.s.sed down by Master! However, Master’s combat body was also pa.s.sed 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 G.o.d 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 G.o.d King from the first civilization. After all, there were other G.o.d Kings apart from the G.o.d King of Destruction back then. It was just that the G.o.d King of Destruction possessed the Spear of Destruction, and was the strongest.
In terms of combat body alone, the other G.o.d Kings were not inferior to the G.o.d King of Destruction.
Looking at the Sea Emperor’s ma.s.sive 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 G.o.d King of Destruction, couldn’t achieve it back then. My master, the G.o.d 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 surpa.s.s the strongest beings of various civilizations in history, and even have a chance of surpa.s.sing the Sea Emperor’s master, the G.o.d 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,
