Chapter 314: Slim Hope

Blood flowed in the underground river, dying the entire underground river blood-red.

There was no blood in Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body. That blood was all from the Demon Emperor Mo, but Lin Feng’s combat body was constantly weakening.

“Grr…”

The Demon Emperor Mo struggled frantically. It felt its life force draining rapidly. The life core in its body, in particular, had actually disappeared and entered Lin Feng’s mouth.

Without the support of the life core, its life force kept weakening. Even though it struggled frantically, trying to break free from Lin Feng’s restraints, it was useless.

Its strength was waning, and its life force was rapidly weakening.

Lin Feng was not much better off. He bit down hard on the Demon Emperor Mo’s abdomen. Suddenly, he felt a scorching heat slide into his mouth.

At the same time, wisps of searing heat circulated through his entire body.

His combat body had already diminished continuously from 260 meters to 200 meters, and was still diminishing. After all, be it the Demon Emperor Mo or the Demon Emperor Millipede, their venoms were both very terrifying. Even Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body found it very difficult to resist two types of venoms.

This was a very perilous situation. Once his Tidal Combat Body could not hold out and continued to weaken, even if he obtained the life core and exhausted the Demon Emperor Mo to death, he would definitely not be able to outlast the Demon Emperor Millipede.

However, when the scorching thing slid into his mouth, the situation changed. He could feel that his body was constantly emitting a terrifying energy, and it was rapidly nourishing the combat body cells in his entire body.

...

“Life core?”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately knew what this scorching power was. It must be the life core. Longbetham had once said that the life core contained all the energy and power of a planetary lifeform, and condensed the essence of a planetary lifeform.

Hence, although this life core might only be a relatively large fragment of the true life core, it still contained a fearsome amount of energy.

“Grr…”

The Demon Emperor Mo was struggling in its death throes. It had also gone completely berserk. It turned around at once and bit Lin Feng’s legs with its bloody mouth.

The dreaded venom was injected into Lin Feng’s body again. Immediately, even with the energy from the life core, Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body was collapsing rapidly.

A hundred and ninety meters, a hundred and seventy meters, a hundred and fifty meters, a hundred and thirty meters…

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body had already shrunk to 100 meters, and the speed of collapse was becoming faster and faster. Once Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body collapsed, it would mean that Lin Feng would also die.

However, the life force of the Demon Emperor Mo was still very strong. If they entered a battle of attrition, even if Lin Feng exhausted the Demon Emperor Mo to death, the final winner would still be the Demon Emperor Millipede.

“Lin Feng, quick, use the life core to activate the Spear of Destruction!”

Longbetham’s voice sounded in Lin Feng’s mind, and it sounded very anxious.

“Spear of Destruction?”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. That’s right. He still had the Spear of Destruction in his body. Once he could mobilize the destructive power in the Spear of Destruction, forget about two mere demon emperors, even ten more demon emperors would be nothing.

As for how to mobilize the Spear of Destruction, Lin Feng did not need to worry at all. This was because as Lin Feng devoured half of the Demon Emperor Mo’s body, the huge life core was also devoured by Lin Feng.

At this moment, the Spear of Destruction seemed to have detected the life core, and was already shaking wildly.

Hence, Lin Feng no longer suppressed the Spear of Destruction. Instead, he immediately activated the Spear of Destruction and allowed it to approach the life core.

The life core met the Destruction Spear—

Boom.

The Destruction Spear emitted a calamitous power. This was the annihilative power, and it exploded devastatingly from Lin Feng’s body.

As for the life core, it seemed to be absorbed by the Destruction Spear at once, and was disappearing at a visible speed.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s consciousness seemed to have blurred all of a sudden. An image appeared vaguely in his mind. It was an incomparably large lifeform, comparable in size to a planet, moving rapidly through the cold and dark cosmos.

Suddenly, a huge hand that seemed to cover the entire starry space slammed down on the behemoth.

How magnificent was that power?

In front of that huge hand, even the cosmos seemed so insignificant. The behemoth comparable to the size of a planet kept wailing, its voice filled with unending fear.

Bang.

The behemoth’s body exploded, and an incomparably dazzling scarlet crystal appeared in the cosmos. It was seized by the huge hand.

All kinds of humiliation and indignation seemed to linger in Lin Feng’s heart.

“Could that be the life core?”

This was the last thought in Lin Feng’s mind. Then, his consciousness blurred.

After Lin Feng fainted, he had no idea that as the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction erupted, a huge hole was suddenly blasted in his chest. His entire combat body was shattered and on the verge of collapse.

A spear suddenly flew out from Lin Feng’s chest. It was the Spear of Destruction. It emitted a black light that spread in all directions like a torrent.

Wherever this black light swept past, everything was reduced to dust.

The Demon Emperor Mo did not even let out a scream before its massive body turned to ashes and disappeared into the underground river. The uninjured Demon Emperor Millipede managed to hold out for a while, but it did not even last for a minute. It also cried out in agony and tried to escape in a frenzy.

However, the annihilative power of the Destruction Spear swept out in a devastating torrent. The Demon Emperor Millipede only took a few steps back before turning into ashes as well.

Only Lin Feng survived. His combat body, which had also suffered extensive damage, shrank from 100 meters to only about 50 meters. However, due to the large amount of energy in his life core, it actually managed to hold out and was not destroyed.

Even so, Lin Feng lost consciousness, and his combat body was on the verge of collapse.

In this dark and lonely underground river, the Spear of Destruction seemed to be incomparably avaricious as it devoured the massive life core in a frenzy. Although most of the energy in the life core was absorbed by the Spear of Destruction, a portion still entered Lin Feng’s body and was quickly absorbed by the Tidal Combat Body.

However, Lin Feng still showed no signs of waking up.

Rumble.

The Eighteen Grottoes of Dragon Head had all collapsed.

When the Invincible Fist Sage finally flew out, he realized that all the area within a radius of 50 kilometers had actually collapsed. It was as if a terrifying earthquake had erupted. It was literally ground-shattering, and a huge pit had formed.

However, this huge pit did not last for long. The entire area within a radius of 500 kilometers trembled. Even the ley lines were shaken, the mountains collapsed, the flows of rivers were stoppered, and the entire geologic plate was moving.

The Invincible Fist Sage could only watch all of this happen. Although he was a dignified Sage, there was nothing he could do against this terrifying natural power.

Finally, everything returned to normal. However, the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead had long disappeared. There was not even a single familiar characteristic.

“Sage Lin Feng…”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s eyes were slightly bloodshot, but he still retained a trace of hope. He was waiting, waiting for a miracle to happen.

One day, two days, three days…

The Invincible Fist Sage sat cross-legged on the ground. His face was flushed, and his eyes were almost unblinking. He was waiting, waiting for the deadline of a month.

Lin Feng had once said that the time limit was a month. If Lin Feng did not appear in a month, there was no need to wait for him anymore.

When the morning sun shone on the earth, a fiery red cloud formed at the horizon.

The aura on the Invincible Fist Sage’s body erupted with a bang. At this moment, it was as if the world had collapsed. Even the sky seemed to have turned into a burning cloud of fire.

It had been a month! The Invincible Fist Sage had waited for an entire month. He was looking forward to a miracle, but the hope of this miracle seemed to be getting slimmer and slimmer…
