Chapter 435: Chapter 219: Life Forbidden Spell, Parting Arrangements, Heading North

At Ling Yi’s eager reminder, Lin Feng set down the newly optimized Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, shook his head, and said,

"It doesn’t work."

"I’ve already tried. This ability is completely useless on any Life Form. It doesn’t even work on pieces of flesh with no consciousness, or on a microscopic, single cell."

He had already run experiments on this very matter in his Spirit World back when he underwent his Tier Jumping Upgrade to enter Tier Three.

After waking up, he had also tried activating his Particle Control Realm in the Real World, hoping to affect cells or flesh and blood tissue.

Unfortunately, the results were the same as in the Spirit World.

Particle Control had no effect on Life Forms.

Otherwise, back when he was removing the Tier Three Golden Neck Guard from the Mother Empress’s Corpse, Lin Feng could have just used Particle Control to separate bone from flesh. Why would he have needed to rely on the King Spine Zerg’s Bloodthirsty Frenzy and go through all that trouble just to pull it out?

As he spoke, Lin Feng suddenly reached out and grabbed Ling Yi’s slender, pale wrist. A golden radiance, imbued with Particle Control Power, immediately enveloped it.

The sudden move startled Ling Yi, making her hair stand on end as she instinctively flinched. A powerful, heart-pounding sense of dread washed over her.

Unlike the flesh manipulation of Infinite Reproduction, the Energy Lin Feng had released seemed capable of breaking down any substance into its base particles, pulverizing and then re-forming it.

This terrifying Power could grant new life to all things, but it could also bring about the end of everything.

Thankfully, that intense, abyss-like terror lasted only for an instant.

Although the Golden Energy covered the skin on Ling Yi’s wrist, it had no effect on her epidermal cells.

At most, it could only break down the dead skin cells on the surface, basically giving her wrist a deep cleaning.

As Ling Yi pulled her slender wrist back, she saw Lin Feng spread his hands and let out a soft sigh.

"See? That’s how it is."

"If this ability worked on Life Forms, do you think I’d need to go to all the trouble of making weapons and training those Tier Two Battle Groups?"

"I could just fly right up to a High-tier Mother Empress, touch it, and pulverize it to dust, couldn’t I?"

Hearing Lin Feng’s lament, Ling Yi frowned slightly.

"That is strange. A low-level life form is, at best, just a negative entropy convergence. It’s only a bit more advanced than some simple organic matter."

"If it works on both inorganic and organic matter, why can’t it alter the properties of a cell...?"

Lin Feng shrugged, a look of regret on his face.

"Who knows?"

"Maybe this is its limit. After all, didn’t you say before that this is a terrifying ability that only Divine Kings above Tier Nine and their direct descendants can master?"

"Clearly, I don’t qualify..."

Seeing the smug, punchable look on Lin Feng’s face, Ling Yi rolled her eyes and cut through his false modesty.

"That flash of golden light just now... that wasn’t just your Synthetic Superpower, was it?"

"Even though it can’t affect Life Forms, for that single instant, I could feel the threat it posed to me..."

"Could it be that you’ve already mastered a Mental Realm beyond your Superpower?"

Lin Feng figured he could no longer hide it, so he decided to admit it freely, putting on a profound air as he spoke.

"That’s right."

"After absorbing all of the Jiangbei Mother Empress’s Spiritual Energy, I received a tremendous spiritual boon. Then, during my Tier Jumping Upgrade, I managed to forge a Mental Realm that expands upon my own Superpower."

"As you just saw, I can now use Realm Power to control any organic or inorganic matter, but it’s completely ineffective against Life Forms."

"But that’s more than enough. With my ability to synthesize and upgrade, I can definitely create top-tier weapons capable of killing the High-tier Zerg Race."

As he spoke, a brand new Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword appeared in Lin Feng’s hand.

’There are too many suspicious things and unresolved mysteries about me right now,’ Lin Feng thought. ’But as long as I don’t reveal the Upgrade System, I should be able to get more useful information out of Ling Yi.’

After Lin Feng’s admission, a suspicious glint appeared in Ling Yi’s eyes as she offered a different perspective.

"Perhaps you’re a Mixed Blood Species, but your bloodline’s power was diluted when it mixed with human blood. That’s why the associated Mental Realm can’t affect life forms, which are concentrations of negative entropy."

"But then again, are you really sure your mom and dad were both just ordinary people?"

Lin Feng frowned at Ling Yi’s probing question.

"As far back as I can remember, they never acted out of the ordinary. But my mom... she was a university professor who studied astrophysics. I think she had data on your kind long before the Zerg Race even invaded Blue Star..."

"I suspect she’d awakened a precognitive Superpower long ago, which is why she knew exactly what was going to happen. Her subsequent disappearance was probably her way of trying to find a solution."

Ling Yi seemed surprised.

"Precognition? That kind of ability is exceptionally rare."

Lin Feng nodded.

"That’s right. After going through so much since the apocalypse began, I’ve only ever met one other Awakener with a similar Superpower."

"His Superpower could be called Prophet. He could foresee future, historic events that were directly relevant to him."

As he spoke, the image of that young, Daoist-looking man surfaced in Lin Feng’s mind, and he shook his head.

’Everything that happens in the future is just a matter of probability,’ he thought. ’I’ve never believed in anything like fate.’

Ling Yi watched Lin Feng’s departing figure. The corners of her lips curled up in a mysterious smile as she replied,

"Who knows? Perhaps the seeds of the ending were sown at the moment of creation..."

Lin Feng glanced back at Ling Yi but said no more.

He recalled the time he helped Shen Jie pass the Slaughter Realm Trial. After they had absorbed the Node Mother’s Spiritual Energy, he had unexpectedly activated a residual image of the Tier Six Peak Spine God hidden within his Bloodthirsty Frenzy Skill.
