Chapter 163 Request for Reinforcements
The Astral Bubble was indeed magnificent, but Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He knew very well what kind of terrifying power would erupt once this beautiful bubble burst. After all, he had already infused 3,000 strands of Astral Power into it.
The limit had not been reached yet with 3,000 strands of Astral Power. Hence, Lin Feng continued to infuse more Astral Power. He wanted to test the power limit of the Void Bubble.
Three thousand and five hundred strands, four thousand strands…
When the Astral Power infused into the Astral Bubble reached 4,000 strands, Lin Feng clearly felt a little strained. He realized that after the Astral Power reached 4,000 strands, the Astral Bubble he had condensed became a little unstable, as if it would collapse at any

moment.
“Insufficient mental will!”
Lin Feng found the reason. There seemed to be no limit to the infusion of Astral Power with the Astral Bubble. This was really a terrifying martial art, but Lin Feng’s mental will was limited. Once there was too much Astral Power condensed within the Astral Bubble, he would be unable to control it, and it would eventually collapse, unable to
“The limit is about 4,000 strands while I can still control it steadily. Any more and I won’t be able to control it anymore.”
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Four thousand strands of Astral Power was actually a considerable amount. It was equivalent to four times the Astral Power in a Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist.
How powerful was a single Astral Bubble condensed from so much Astral Power?
There were no objects for reference in the secret chamber right now. He thought for a moment. The Void Bubble had never been used to deal with any martial artists before. He simply gritted his teeth, and extended his palm into the astral energy bubble.
Moreover, he concentrated the remaining over 1,400 strands of Astral Power in his palm to form a protective Astral Power layer. He wanted to personally test the power of this Astral Bubble when faced with the defense of Astral Power.
“Collapse!”
With a thought from Lin Feng, the Astral Bubble that had condensed 4,000 strands of Astral Power began to rapidly collapse.
Although this Astral Bubble seemed very beautiful and did not have much of a fearsome aura, it was actually imitating the process of celestial bodies collapsing in the cosmos. That was a process that could form a terrifying black hole.
What kind of cataclysmic power would erupt during this process?
Previously, it seemed very easy for Lin Feng to deal with those Pangolin Beast demons himself. He only felt that the Void Bubble was very strong, but he did not have a direct understanding of how strong it was himself.
Now, when Lin Feng tested it on his own arm, he suddenly sensed the eruption of an extremely terrifying aura.
Horrifying. It was simply too horrifying. In an instant, Lin Feng felt as if he had sensed the aura of death. Extreme fear surged through his heart.
There was great terror in life-or-death situations. Lin Feng could sense the aura of death precisely because of this magnificent Astral Bubble. He believed that those Pangolin Beast demons also felt the same when the Astral Bubbles collapsed.
The terrifying aura spread, but Lin Feng no longer had the opportunity to retract his arm. He could only mobilize the Astral Power in his body frantically, gathering it all in his palm, and covering his palm densely with a layer of Astral Power.
While Astral Power was not depleted, martial artists would not die!
This was almost an ironclad rule. As the Astral Bubble collapsed-perhaps for a second, or perhaps for an instant-Lin Feng did not even feel any pain. The Astral Bubble collapsed into a pinp.r.i.c.k, then completely disappeared.
Lin Feng’s palm also disappeared along with the Astral Bubble. It disappeared bizarrely from the point almost parallel with his wrist. It was even smoother than the slash of a blade, as if it had disappeared into thin air for no reason.
Strange, fearsome, and terrifying. At this moment, even Lin Feng felt his heart palpitate.
The one thousand and four hundred strands of Astral Power protecting his body were actually useless. It was as if his palm had vanished into thin air. There was not a trace of Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body now.
“This is just too terrifying. Is this the power of an Astral Bubble formed from 4,000 strands of Astral Power?”
Lin Feng had experienced the terrifying power of the Astral Bubble personally. Forget about Second Level Metamorphic Realm, could even a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist withstand it?
Lin Feng did not know. There were 9,999 strands of Astral Power in a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist, but it was really difficult to say if these 9,999 strands of Astral Power could withstand Lin Feng’s Void Bubble.
Moreover, the Void Bubble condensed from 4,000 strands of Astral Power was not the limit of the power of the Void Bubble. As long as Lin Feng could strengthen his mental will to control the Astral Bubble, he could continue to infuse more Astral Power.
“Phew…”
Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He had too much Astral Power now, and had reached his limit. Moreover, with the Astral martial art that was the Void Bubble, his strength in Astral Power had actually exceeded the strength of his physical body.
Right now, Lin Feng had not given up on training his body. It was actually more for the reason that improving his physique had some supplementary effects on his Astral Power.
If this continued, Lin Feng might even slowly give up on tempering his body himself.
It was no wonder that so many martial artists would give up on tempering their bodies after breaking the genetic lock. Compared to the increase in Astral Power that was so fast and so powerful, the tempering of the physical body was indeed slow.
Even someone with Lin Feng’s powerful physique would encounter such a problem, let alone other martial artists.
However, Lin Feng had no intention of giving up on his physical body. He had always felt that the cultivation of the physical body and the Astral Power were equally important. Moreover, he had the genetic fusion device. Once he fused the genes of dire beasts, the strength of his physical body might not be inferior to Astral Power.
As for now, Lin Feng felt that his body had already undergone metamorphosis for more than two months. Actually, he could already attempt to cultivate the fifth level of Nonuple Body Tempering. If he could master the fifth level and unleash five Spiral Forces, Lin Feng would have nothing to fear from any Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist.
The North Mountain Base was guarded by martial artists of the Freelance Cultivators Union.
The two bases, North Mountain and South Mountain, were both at the foremost of the frontline. The South Mountain Base had to guard against Pangolin Beasts, while the North Mountain Base had to guard against Terrestrial Ants.
These Terrestrial Ants were much smaller than the Pangolin Beasts. They even looked like tiny creatures, and were just similar in size to some pet dogs. Naturally, they were countless times larger than ordinary ants.
However, as a true dire beast, Terrestrial Ants were extremely terrifying. Their teeth were practically indestructible. A single bite could even break through hard steel.
Moreover, Terrestrial Ants could burrow into the ground. There were tens of thousands of tunnels underground, dense and complex, like an underground maze. Such Terrestrial
headache.
Now, the North Mountain Base was in trouble. Those Terrestrial Ants had gone berserk for some unknown reason and started attacking the North Mountain Base in a frenzy. Even though the construction materials used by the Northern Mountain Base were much tougher than those used by the South Mountain Base, it was only a matter of time before the North Mountain Base fell to the a.s.sault of Terrestrial Ants.
“Chief Commander, call for reinforcements. The Legate has to oversee the South Mountain City and can’t be deployed easily. We can only call for reinforcements from the South Mountain Base.”
“That’s right. I heard that the South Mountain Base repelled the attack of the Pangolin Beasts some time ago. They should be free to support us now.”
The strength of the North Mountain Base was quite decent. In fact, its overall strength was much stronger than that of the South Mountain Base. There were a total of 50 inhuman experts, which was relatively rare even in the frontline base.
However, at this moment, everyone in the conference room of the North Mountain Base had expressions of dismay.
“We’re actually asking for reinforcements from the South Mountain Base. Seriously…”
The Chief Commander of the North Mountain Base was also very helpless. In truth, the North Mountain Base and the South Mountain Base were not very far apart. Moreover, they belonged to different factions. How could there not be any compet.i.tion and friction usually?
However, even during the height of the South Mountain Base, the North Mountain Base still had the upper hand. It was always the South Mountain Base which requested reinforcements.
Since when did the North Mountain Base need to seek reinforcements from the South Mountain Base?
However, now was not the time to be petulant. The Terrestrial Ants outside the North Mountain Base were attacking the North Mountain Base in a frenzy. Asking for reinforcements from the South Mountain Base was their only choice.
“Request reinforcements from the South Mountain Base immediately!”
The Chief Commander of the Northern Mountain Base, Mo Lei, almost gritted his teeth as he gave the order.
