Chapter 523 - 248: Selecting the Slaying Target, Absorbing the Purple Crystal Brain Marrow

Chapter 523: Chapter 248: Selecting the Slaying Target, Absorbing the Purple Crystal Brain Marrow

Anywhere covered by the Divine Realm was polluted by Genetic Radiation; all life within it would twist into Zerg monstrosities of flesh and blood.

This was why Shen Jie was worried. ’What if I can’t sever the Mother Empress’s Neck Guard and decapitate her as quickly as Lin Feng did?’

’It might trigger an even greater disaster and cause my brothers, the ones helping me, to twist into grotesque monsters one by one.’

Back inside the main nest northwest of Yunxia Ridge, Lin Feng set down the black box in his hands, which was filled with Superpower Organization. He then patted Shen Jie’s shoulder and explained comfortingly,

"Don’t worry. The decapitation is just to prevent it from summoning its Divine Realm. The actual killing blow requires destroying its brain."

"I’ll help you when the time comes."

"Besides, the hardness and quality of that Golden Neck Guard are far greater than any material from the Tier Two Zerg Race. Unfortunately, we don’t have any fresh Mother Empress corpses right now. Otherwise, if you were to eat its brain or bone marrow..."

Before Lin Feng could finish, Ling Yi cut in. He was standing beside the analysis Biological Nest, opening the black box and taking out a test tube.

"His ability requires him to absorb spinal fluid. The stem cells within it allow for the extraction of the original genome, which in turn lets him steal the Mother Empress’s physical development genes."

"It’s equivalent to acquiring the Tier Three Cells of a Tier Three Life Form, but the Mother Empress’s brain marrow, which contains Realm Power, and its extremely hard Plate Bone can’t be replicated."

"The former can’t be mass-produced, and the latter requires ten times the amount of Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandible material plus a massive expenditure of Biomass just to create a tiny piece."

As he spoke, Ling Yi looked over at Lin Feng.

"He can’t synthesize them himself, but your ability can help. For instance, you could forge two Golden Bone Blades and fuse them into his arms ahead of time."

Hearing Ling Yi’s solution, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up. His Particle Control Realm could indeed melt and reshape any non-living matter with great speed.

Especially the Mother Empress’s Golden Quality Neck Guard.

As it happened, Lin Feng was already planning to absorb one of the two Mother Empress Brain Marrows that very night.

So, Lin Feng told Shen Jie to wait a while and went to the Incubation Pyramid.

Two Purple Crystal Brain Marrows and eighteen Zerg broodmothers were sealed inside, ensuring their freshness.

Before the trial began the next day, Lin Feng planned to reward the top few performers among the thirty-four participants with Zerg broodmothers to boost their Spiritual Attribute Value and increase their chances of passing the Realm Trial.

At that moment, under Ling Yi’s control, one of the brain marrows—the kind that would make Jiang Yun’er drool—was extracted from the fleshy Pyramid.

Lin Feng slowly reached out and placed his hand on it.

A prompt asking if he wanted to absorb it immediately appeared before his eyes.

With a slight nod, a powerful wave of Spiritual Energy surged from the brain marrow into Lin Feng’s body.

In just a few moments, Lin Feng’s Spiritual Attribute went through a Breaking Limit event, soaring from 2,900 to 3,400.

The next time he leveled up to 33, his attribute would reach 3,900—the upper limit for the Tier Three Early Stage.

His mind felt clear and refreshed, and his thoughts moved much more quickly.

His brain structure had also evolved to keep pace with his physical body. Otherwise, a normal brain’s speed at receiving, processing, and reacting to information would be completely unable to keep up with the supersonic bursts of a Tier Three physique.

After finishing the absorption, Lin Feng activated his Particle Control Realm and began to melt down the Plate Bone shell that had protected the brain marrow.

Ling Yi spoke up with a reminder:

"Remember to leave a thin layer. Even though the Spiritual Energy inside has been absorbed, the crystalline structure that contains the Spiritual Power is still there. As long as you repeatedly inject High Tier Spiritual Energy into it, it can be reactivated after a while."

Lin Feng nodded. He ended up peeling off a twenty-cubic-meter piece of Golden Quality Plate Bone, leaving a thin, one-centimeter-thick outer layer.

Under the light of the fleshy Pyramid, one could see the magnificent, multicolored geometric crystal structures inside the two-meter-diameter spherical brain marrow.

A single glance was enough to tell it was no ordinary object.

Once Ling Yi had carefully used the fleshy tentacles to retract the now-unprotected brain marrow back into the Pyramid...

...Lin Feng began to release his Particle Control Power, enveloping the entire Neck Guard, which weighed several hundred tons.

From it, he forged two handle-less blades, each 1.5 meters long and 30 centimeters wide.

He also forged two ordinary, standard-issue Fine Sabers.

The former were for Shen Jie to absorb and use, while the latter were a birthday gift Lin Feng had specially prepared for Liu Yueqi. Her eighteenth birthday was in just a few days.

If there was enough time and a suitable opportunity arose,

Lin Feng planned to help her advance to Tier Three.

’I could always use another trusted lieutenant.’

As for the rest of the Golden Plate Bone, Lin Feng integrated it into his Reproductive Armor Mecha, enhancing its base performance and forming a complete set of Golden Battle Armor.

With all preparations complete, Lin Feng led Shen Jie and the thirty-four Genetic Warriors to Beihai Town at the crack of dawn the next day.

There, they joined the hundred-odd Tier Two Genetic Warriors and over ten thousand Tier One Awakeners under Qin Hu’s command, setting out for the Yong’an River.

To kill the Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress there!
