Chapter 537: Chapter 253: Resurrection, Communicating with the Land of the End

As Lin Feng was unexpectedly knocked back, Qin Hu and his men, rushing in from behind, immediately raised their weapons and fired at the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg to pin it down and disrupt its advance.

They successfully covered Lin Feng’s retreat.

Now back in the air, Lin Feng was far more cautious. He raised his Armor-Piercing Cannon and unleashed a frantic barrage at the resurrected Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg.

He aimed for the wound behind its eye, which hadn’t fully healed, shattering its weakened Armor and once again destroying its brain tissue.

This time, after being severely wounded and taking another fatal blow, the Tiger Spine Zerg crashed heavily to the ground.

Having learned his lesson, Lin Feng cautiously refrained from approaching. Instead, he landed among his squad and walked over to Ling Yi at the rear.

"Why is the power of the Unyielding Realm still able to manifest in a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg..."

Lin Feng asked with a frown.

Before they set out, Ling Yi had already given a brief explanation of the Unyielding Realm’s effects.

Aside from increasing Defense to a certain degree, its greatest effect was the "resurrection" they had just witnessed.

To be more precise, it was the Unyielding Realm’s last-ditch survival effect. It allows its wielder, when in a near-death state, to rapidly heal their injuries and simultaneously recover half of their Life Value, enabling them to continue fighting!

And this ability, when used against enemies unfamiliar with Realm Abilities, can often produce shockingly effective results!

Just like what Lin Feng had just experienced.

Hearing the accusatory tone in his voice, the corner of Ling Yi’s mouth twitched. He explained with some embarrassment:

"It’s possible that the Unyielding Realm is simply too concentrated here. With so many volcanoes, one range connecting to the next, the areas at their base also possess a certain Mental Realm effect..."

"Also, the Law here is much more developed now. This batch of Genetic Warriors doesn’t need to do what Shen Jie did and re-assimilate genes by licking the Spine Zergs."

"And that’s precisely why this place can now manifest a wider range of power levels, including Tier Two Peak Zergs that have mastered certain Realm Abilities."

"But don’t worry. No matter how dense the Realm Power is, given the Tiger Spine Zerg’s Tier Two level of existence, it can use the Unyielding effect once at most."

"It’s really and truly dead now..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly and said no more.

’Thankfully, the power ceiling of a Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg wasn’t that high. Otherwise, this intelligence failure would have caused a large number of Trial Takers to die and be forced to restart.’

With the group having completed the second kill, the now completely lifeless body of the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg lay beside the hot spring.

Many of the nearby Tier Two Late Stage giant zergs that had witnessed the scene were already stirring, eager to claim the Peak Tiger Spine Zerg’s corpse and the vast pool of hot spring water that could help them evolve.

Lin Feng slowly walked forward and placed a hand on the corpse’s Giant Mandibles. He released the Energy of his Particle Control Realm, first repairing the slight damage his Flying Tiger Armor had sustained from the impact.

He also repaired the severely worn-out blades of his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword.

Once the repairs were done, he synthesized over twenty Lv. 29 Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords in one go.

Now that he fully understood the internal structure of the Tiger Zerg Chainsaw Sword, he could easily synthesize large quantities of the same equipment, as long as he had enough of the primary materials.

Therefore, Lin Feng planned to continue killing the nearby Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zergs to upgrade everyone’s equipment, especially that of Qin Hu and his subordinates.

However, he would have them complete these subsequent kills themselves.

This would also help them adapt ahead of time to just how difficult the Spine Zergs were to kill under the influence of the Unyielding Realm.

Lin Feng sat at the foot of the mountain, keeping an eye on the Genetic Warriors’ combat situation while also observing the conditions at the volcano’s peak.

On the mountainside, shrouded in a yellow, toxic, sulfuric fog, the influence of the Mental Realm was palpable. Fortunately, the Unyielding Realm, unlike the Slaughter Realm, didn’t easily cloud the mind. This type of internal, passive Realm Ability mostly affected only the wielder.

’Even though it was a passive ability, its effect was ridiculously overpowered—equivalent to equipping an expensive, end-game Resurrection Armor.’

’What’s more, it just required steady, gradual accumulation.’

’It wasn’t like the Slaughter Realm, which demanded such a high price for activation and use.’

’And according to Ling Yi, once the Unyielding Realm was mastered to a deeper level, it was possible to resurrect more than once.’

’That meant having several layers of Resurrection Armor.’

’Cultivating this Mental Realm to the Divine Realm level would even allow for instantaneous regeneration from a single drop of blood, as long as there was sufficient Energy nearby.’

’Unfortunately, with the defeat of the Tier Six Peak Spine God at the hands of the Mother Empress’s Zerg God, this godlike Realm Ability never saw the day it would condense into a Divine Domain Law.’

Compared to all that, Lin Feng was more concerned about the Tier Three Unyielding King Spine Zerg they would soon face inside the volcano. Just how many times could it resurrect?

At this thought, he turned and asked Ling Yi:

"So what about the King Spine Zerg? How many times can it resurrect? Once?"

Ling Yi paused for a moment, recalling the data on the Spinal Zerg Realm he had compiled before they entered. He then replied:

"If it’s inside the volcano, it can indeed resurrect many times due to the abundant Energy—unless we can instantly destroy its entire body, including its brain and vital organs."

"Of course, with me here, I can employ some Spiritual Means to reduce the speed of its energy catalysis..."

"According to the records, it can do so three times at most while it’s in the lava. If we can lure it out of the volcano, its own internal Energy reserves are only enough for it to resurrect once. You don’t have to worry about that."

Lin Feng nodded, breathing a subtle sigh of relief.
