Chapter 491: Chapter 238: Zerg Mole, Energyization, The True Purpose

Upon hearing Zhang Tianming’s voice, Lin Feng hesitated for half a second before turning into a blur and vanishing on the spot.

Clad in his Golden Armor, he burst through the villa’s main gate. Following the directions from his earpiece, he quickly arrived at the location of the first Zerg mother.

Three seconds later and eight hundred meters away, Lin Feng reached his destination: a high-rise building in a residential complex.

"Building Three’s rooftop! As fast as you can!"

Hearing Zhang Tianming’s reminder again, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate. With a running start, he leaped nearly a hundred meters to the rooftop.

There, he saw a group of humans standing on the rooftop with vacant expressions, surrounding a woman seated cross-legged in the center.

At such close range, Lin Feng could instinctively feel the Spiritual Energy emanating from the woman. It far surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Two Awakener.

While it wasn’t as vast and potent as Zhang Tianming’s, it was still over one thousand—roughly the same as Jiang Yun’er’s.

This meant it could also wield Realm Power, using the other parasitic hosts it currently controlled as cover.

Among the crowd of dozens, perhaps even a hundred people, there were several Tier One Awakeners tasked with protecting their mother.

The mother, who was in the process of absorbing the Life Energy of its offspring, had obviously noticed Lin Feng’s arrival. It had already stood up and blended into the crowd, hoping to escape in the confusion.

But how could prey locked onto by Lin Feng possibly have a chance to escape?

He landed in the crowd, crushing several parasitic hosts underfoot. Then, with a powerful push, he launched himself forward like a subsonic cannonball, rocketing toward the fleeing Zerg mother.

He plowed through dozens of parasitic hosts that tried to block his path. Upon reaching his target, he slammed its head to the ground. Pinning the Zerg mother’s torso with his foot, he grabbed its neck. With just a slight exertion of force, he ripped the mother’s head, attached to its entire spinal column, clean out of the human host’s body.

Flesh tore and sinews snapped!

Freed from its host body, the Zerg mother, a parasitic member of the Zerg Race, remained surprisingly vigorous.

From the half-head, which lacked a jaw, hundreds of arthropod-like tentacles thrashed wildly, clawing and struggling to escape the hand that was crushing its skull.

The lower part of the mother’s body, its tail, had assimilated with the spinal column. Clinging to the nerves were palm-sized Zerg Eggs, incubated within the former host’s abdomen, clustered as plentifully as green grapes.

Lin Feng shook the Zerg Eggs off but didn’t kill the living mother in his hand.

Although this thing was no longer effective on him at level 31, it was still a rare Spiritual Type, Tier Two Zerg. As a Mother Empress Avatar, killing it would grant a fifty to one hundred point bonus to his Spiritual Attribute.

He could give it to the members of his Tier Two Battle Group to shore up their weak Spiritual Attributes. It might even help the Genetic Warriors start their Realm Trials early.

The recent decapitation strike against the Xiayun Ridge Mother Empress had been particularly revealing, exposing the weakness of his subordinates’ Spiritual Attributes. When facing the Spiritual Attacks of the High-tier Zerg Race, their combat effectiveness was severely suppressed, hindering the mission.

And the Zerg mothers were an excellent way to solve this problem.

With a few more Tier Two Peak Genetic Warriors on his side, future decapitation strikes against the Mother Empress would be much safer.

After dealing with the first Tier Two Late Stage mother, Lin Feng found a striped cloth bag abandoned on the roadside. He emptied the luggage from inside and tossed in the dying Zerg mother he was holding.

With the package secured, he headed to the location of the second mother Zhang Tianming had mentioned.

In a Capital City with no Tier Three Life Forms, Lin Feng was a tiger among sheep, rampaging unchecked.

He quickly collected the second and third Zerg mothers, stuffing them into the bag. Under the Might of the King Zerg emanating from his Battle Armor, they were powerless to struggle.

Each battle took no more than ten seconds.

Even when the mothers hid in skyscrapers or secret bunkers, they couldn’t escape the heavy blow of Lin Feng’s iron fist.

In fact, the most time-consuming part of the entire operation was the constant travel between locations.

Within ten minutes, Lin Feng had captured eighteen Tier Two Zerg mothers. He’d spent eight of those minutes just traveling.

Inside the bulging bag, every single Zerg mother had a Spiritual Attribute that had broken the one-thousand-point limit, allowing them to manifest Realm Power.

Each one was a threat on par with Jiang Yun’er.

Working in tandem and coordinating with the High-tier Mother Empress’s activation ritual, they could have sacrificed the million survivors in the Capital City.

After dealing with them, Lin Feng returned to the villa. He glanced at his phone. There were fifteen minutes until the battle at Southwest Yunxia Ridge would fully erupt.

He could still make it in time if he rushed over now.

He could have left right then, taken his sack full of valuable prizes, and returned to the front lines.

But a lingering doubt compelled him to return.

Entering the main hall, he saw Zhang Tianming floating in mid-air. The Spiritual Energy swirling around him was gradually dissipating.

As the Realm Power faded, his distorted, blurry figure gradually returned from the void to the Real World.

Lin Feng looked at the Identification Attributes that appeared before him, detailing the other man’s awakened Realm Power: Void Observation...

In the final description, two words were prominently marked: Spiritual Ascension.

It made Lin Feng wonder, ’What do those two words mean...’

’Ascension represents transcendence.’

’And the Spiritual Energyization of the body is one way to transcend the constraints of reality.’

’But this shortcut seems to be a one-way trip.’

’Because complete Energyization means one can never return to the Real World. One can only merge into the energy void of the Manifest Cosmos, becoming massless particles and waves.’
