Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Thump.

Lin Feng was sent flying by the fleshworm dire beast, before landing heavily on the ground. He struggled to stand up, but he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Currently, Lin Feng was covered in blood, and there was no knowing how many bones in his body had been shattered. He could no longer hold out by relying on his willpower alone. Just as Yu Shan and the others had seen, Lin Feng was indeed at the end of his rope, and was already in a hopeless situation.

The particle saber was still glimmering. Lin Feng’s chest heaved violently. He was still panting heavily. At this moment, he thought of his sister, his father, his eldest brother, and his second brother. However, that figure was the one he couldn’t forget. There was so much he owed her.

“Could this be my fate? I need to break the genetic lock, I need to cure my strange illness, and I still need to find you…”

Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to feel the power in his body, but there was not much left in his body. How could he deal with these two dire beast kings?

“Three Spiral Forces! Burst forth!”

Lin Feng growled. He leaped forward, gripped his particle saber tightly in both hands, and descended from the sky, slashing at the fleshworm dire beast.

Snap.

The fleshworm dire beast smacked Lin Feng with one of its tentacles, and his body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Even the particle saber in his hand fell to the side.

Lin Feng’s body was already gravely injured. It was difficult for him to even stand up now.

Not only did this scene pain Yu Shan and the rest, it also made the inhuman experts in the distance incomparably furious. Whether it was Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, or Lin Feng, they were all genius martial artists in Dragon Mountain Base who had the greatest hope of breaking the genetic lock.

But now, they could only watch helplessly as the dire beast killed Lin Feng and the others, while they were powerless to do anything. How torturous was this?

Chief Commander Long Duo, was currently facing a worm-like demon. Although this demon did not seem to be very strong, it was very resistant. He was also tangled up and could not assist Lin Feng and the others at all.

“argh, Void Spirit Nine Slashes!”

Chief Commander Long Duo’s fists tumed to palm saber technique as he slashed fiercely. The demons in front gave a wail as well, and were repelled at once.

However, that was all. He could not kill that demon at all. He was still entangled. Whether the mountain collapsed or the earth shattered, even if he destroyed everything around him, he still could not save Lin Feng and the others.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

As the fleshworm dire beast approached Lin Feng step by step, everyone despaired.

Shui Yuansheng struggled to use his superpower again, but there was nothing he could do. The crimson light on his body flashed for a brief moment, but it could not condense again.

Gao Tianci bellowed in a low voice. He gritted his teeth. His body swelled up and emitted strange sounds at times, but even with blood running out of his eyes, he was still unable to stand up.

Yu Shan gritted his teeth. He was seizing every bit of time to circulate all kinds of recovery martial arts, trying to recover as quickly as possible. But it was impossible for any martial art, however profound, to heal the grievous injuries he had sustained in an instant.

No one could save Lin Feng. Seeing the massive body of the fleshworm dire beast approach him step by step, Lin Feng smiled bitterly. “As expected, I still can’t do it. The Demon King Dongfang Sheng once slew a dire beast king. Just how powerful was he?

“Not enough. My current strength is far from enough.

“Since it’s not enough, I’ll keep enhancing it until it’s enough.

“Fuse. I must fuse the genes of dire beasts at all costs!

“So what if it’s a dire beast king? I’ll fuse its genes!”

Lin Feng’s gaze became slightly crazed. At this moment, he no longer had any hesitation. His hands were covered in the genes of the fleshworm dire beast. He had no choice beside fusing the genes of the fleshworm dire beast.

In the past, the reason why Lin Feng had not fused with the genes of other dire beasts was that he felt that he had already fused a lot of dire beast genes, and that he was already strong enough. Moreover, fusing with more dire beast genes might not allow him to control his strength perfectly. He wanted

to proceed step by step and fuse with other dire beast genes when he could no longer improve himself.

But now, Lin Feng was in imminent danger. He had no choice anymore, and abandoned all his reservations. He must fuse the dire beast genes, and fuse them like mad.

“Begin genetic fusion. Fusion time: one minute!”

A familiar mechanical voice rang out from the genetic fusion device.

Lin Feng was fusing the genes of the fleshworm dire beast this time. These were actually the genes of a dire beast king. Lin Feng did not know how much genetic capacity it would take up.

If the genetic capacity occupied was too large, it would be impossible to fuse the genes. Fortunately, Lin Feng’s current genetic capacity had only reached 48%. In other words, he still had 52% of genetic capacity.

Such a large genetic capacity was enough to accommodate the genes of a dire beast king.

“One minute, hold out for one minute!”

Lin Feng lifted his head and saw that the fleshworm dire beast was almost upon him. Once the dire beast approached, he would have no other choice. A minute would be very short under any other circumstances, but now, it felt terribly long to him.

“Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci and Yu Shan, buy me one minute!”

With that, Lin Feng closed his eyes. The genetic fusion had already begun. He could not afford to be distracted.

“One minute?”

Shui Yuansheng was slightly stunned. What could a minute do? Could Lin Feng still turn the tables?

However, Lin Feng had risked everything to save them just now. With one minute, perhaps Lin Feng could recover from some injuries.

Gao Tianci gritted his teeth and panted heavily. With his battered arms, he forced himself to his feet slowly.

“One minute. We’ll definitely buy it for you!”

Gao Tianci’s eyes were bloodshot. Even at the cost of his life, they must hold off this dire beast king.

Even though they were complete strangers with Lin Feng, and were even competitors before, the four of them had experienced life-and-death trials together. Coupled with the fact that they were facing these savage dire beasts, they were no longer concerned with personal interests.

This was a friendship forged between life and death, the strongest bond in the world!

“What’s so hard about one minute? Haha. Ignite.”

Shui Yuansheng, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have made a decision. Crimson flames suddenly surged out of his body, as if burning fiercely.

This was a forbidden technique. By burning his vital potential, it might be impossible for him to break the genetic lock for the rest of his life. This was practically sabotaging his own future, and it was even more terrifying than death.

But now, Shui Yuan Sheng had ignited his vital potential.

Whoosh.

Shui Yuansheng flapped his wings. By igniting his vital potential, his internal injuries recovered by a certain extent in a short amount of time. Hence, he rushed towards the fleshworm dire beast immediately.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Shui Yuansheng rushed to the fleshworm dire beast’s side. He did not fight it head-on. Instead, he moved extremely agilely, harassing it like a bug.

Four seconds, five seconds… ten seconds.

Ten seconds passed. The fleshworm dire beast was harassed constantly and could not advance a step at all. Hence, the fleshworm dire beast grew extremely enraged. The countless tentacles on its body coalesced into a dense net that smashed towards Shui Yuansheng from all directions.

Bang.

In the end, Shui Yuansheng was unable to escape from the massive net. He was struck hard by a few tentacles. They swept up Shui Yuansheng’s body directly and sent him into the mouth of the fleshworm dire beast.

Snap.

The fleshworm dire beast’s rapacious mouth opened, and Shui Yuan Sheng was swallowed alive. action

“Shui Yuansheng.”

“Crimson Wings…”

Gao Tianci and Yu Shan’s eyes were bloodshot. Shui Yuansheng, first on the merit rankings of Dragon Mountain Base, a genius student of the Myriad Academy who had the greatest chance of breaking the genetic lock and becoming inhuman, had been devoured by a dire beast.

Shui Yuansheng was dead!
