Chapter 541: Chapter 254: Killing the King Spine Zerg, the First Finisher

Furthermore, Ling Yi’s spiritual attacks continued to harass it, delaying the activation of the Mental Realm and making its already hindered self-healing even slower.

This continued until all the Life Energy in its body was depleted, and the King Spine Zerg still couldn’t get back up.

In the end, it could only collapse to the ground with a painful shriek before dying completely...

As it died, its enormous Zerg body began to turn transparent, fading away bit by bit as it transformed into particles of Spiritual Energy and dispersed.

Once everything had vanished without a trace, a pale golden mass of Spiritual Energy was left floating in mid-air.

Lin Feng flapped his Membrane Wings and landed with Qin Hu and the others in front of this Energy Ball, which contained the condensed Unyielding Realm.

"Who’s going to absorb it? Based on past experience, absorbing it means you’ve passed the trial. You’ll leave the Mental Realm World and wake up in reality," Lin Feng asked, looking at the three people in charge.

Qin Hu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t speak first, instead waiting for the two Battle Group Leaders under Lin Feng to propose a reasonable distribution plan.

After the two exchanged glances, they quickly made a suggestion:

"How about this? Since everyone contributed, whoever is in the weakest spiritual state can leave first. That would be best for everyone..."

"However, we main fighters will have to stay for now to ensure most of the team members can leave safely."

Lin Feng nodded. ’That’s more or less what I was thinking.’

After all, while the effect of the Unyielding Realm was incredible, an opponent who understood it only needed to camp the body. Besides, this Mental Realm was only suitable for defensive combat; its practical use in an offensive was low.

This was especially true against someone like Lin Feng, whose weapons, Replicas, and cannon ammunition were all taken from the enemy and used against them, allowing him to maintain continuous firepower.

Even if the King Spine Zerg had multiple layers of "Resurrection Armor," its fate was to be body-camped and worn down indefinitely.

As for Lin Feng’s Genetic Warriors, influenced by the Genetic Primordial Shen Jie, they weren’t particularly willing to receive such a Realm Inheritance.

In their view, the Unyielding Realm’s effect didn’t significantly raise their combat power ceiling. If an enemy couldn’t be defeated with one life, having half another life wouldn’t change the outcome.

If they acquired the Unyielding Realm, their chances of killing a High-tier Zerg Race member to complete a Tier Jump Awakening after leaving wouldn’t be very high.

But their ultimate goal for risking the Realm Trial was to kill a Zerg Race Mother Empress and enter Tier Three!

This would be counterproductive to their original goal...

The two Battle Group Leaders weren’t interested in the Unyielding Realm, and neither were the members of their battle groups.

Qin Hu, on the other hand, readily agreed to the proposal.

Because his legion was limited in size and strength, every Tier Two Perfect Awakener under Qin Hu’s command was extremely valuable.

Ensuring a high success rate for this trial was his most pressing concern. As for killing a High-tier Zerg Race member after they got out, he could just commit more manpower to the task later.

After the three finished discussing the trade-offs and distribution, Lin Feng flew to the large boulder on the north side of the hill where Ling Yi was, then carried her back to the edge of the crater.

"I’ve told you what’s going on. Now, see who among this group is in the weakest spiritual state," Lin Feng said calmly, hovering in mid-air.

Golden light surfaced in Ling Yi’s eyes as she scanned all the Genetic Warriors present.

She quickly identified a member of Qin Hu’s team who had just advanced to Tier Two Late Stage Perfection. His Spiritual Attribute was a few degrees weaker than everyone else’s.

She then pointed to him and beckoned him over to absorb the Unyielding Realm’s Energy Ball.

Seeing he was a little nervous, Ling Yi explained:

"You won’t wake up immediately after absorbing it. Normally, there’s an immersive inheritance of the Spine Zergs’ bloodline. Don’t worry too much. After you’ve viewed it, the anesthetic effect of the Zerg Egg Storage might cause a sensation similar to sleep paralysis."

"That’s the phenomenon where your brain is awake, but your body is unable to move due to nerve paralysis. Just stay calm and don’t struggle violently."

The man swallowed, nodded, and followed Ling Yi’s instructions. He stepped forward, placed his hands on the pale golden Energy Ball, and began to absorb it.

The Realm Energy immediately flowed into his body. His form, which was made of Spiritual Power, slowly dissipated, fading from a translucent state until it vanished without a trace...

After it was all over, the group watched as the volcano beneath their feet rapidly extinguished. The roiling mouth of lava instantly solidified, cooled, and collapsed into a field of Obsidian Crystal.

As the active volcano became dormant.

The Realm Trial here was declared over.

"Let’s go. We’ll rest for a moment, then head to the next one," Lin Feng said calmly, leading the group away from the summit.

At that moment, Ling Yi’s gaze was still sweeping over the Genetic Warriors. Her eyes, shimmering with golden light, narrowed slightly as if she had noticed something.

Lin Feng, who had just set her down on level ground, quickly noticed this...

"What is it? Did something unexpected happen?"
