Chapter 542: Chapter 255: Sharing the Spoils, Swift Battle, Ten Fearless Volcanoes

At Lin Feng’s question, Ling Yi hesitated for a moment before retracting the Realm Power in their eyes. Then, using some sort of special Spiritual Means, they secretly relayed a message to Lin Feng.

Ling Yi’s voice subsequently rang inside Lin Feng’s mind:

"When the King Spine Zerg died just now, a portion of its Unyielding Realm Power was distributed among all the Genetic Warriors present as its massive body gradually faded away."

"By the time its body vanishes completely, the remaining Mental Energy Ball only contains about sixty to seventy percent of the total power..."

"Although absorbing it will still activate a Mental Realm, it will be much weaker than what Peak Genetic Warriors who complete the trial alone would get. The initial mastery over the Mental Realm will probably only be around 10%."

"For comparison, a normal Tier Two Peak Life Form can activate at least 20% of a Realm Ability."

"Therefore, the later one leaves, the better the inherited Mental Realm effect they’ll receive."

"In fact, the last ten or so Trial Takers might even be able to obtain a deeper level of Realm Power."

"Although a Tier Three Life Form cannot master two Mental Realms simultaneously before reaching Tier Four, they can develop a single Realm Power to its absolute depths until it becomes their core Mental Realm..."

"From then on, they can bypass the activation requirements, control it at will, and reduce the energy consumption of its use to a minimum."

After Ling Yi finished speaking, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as well.

Ling Yi glanced around and, seeing that the other Genetic Warriors had walked on ahead, began speaking aloud:

"Take the Unyielding Realm, for example. Once you’ve developed your mastery to 100%, you can essentially regenerate severed limbs. Or if you’re decapitated, you can reattach your head, and it will be instantly restored to perfect condition."

"Combined with its passive resurrection effect, this ability is a massive help in charges and melee combat."

"Imagine swarms of giant zergs like these charging a defensive line. No base or fortress could possibly withstand such a frenzied assault."

"A Tier Three Peak King Spine Zerg that has mastered the Unyielding Realm can even withstand the blast from a Nuclear Bomb."

"Furthermore, 100% mastery of a Mental Realm is one of the prerequisites for advancing to Tier Four. It’s like you’ve reached the threshold to become a Tier Four Cosmic Life form."

"Perhaps your own ’decomposition and reconstruction’ ability, once you master it to 100%, will activate its effects on Life Forms."

Lin Feng just smiled, his attention fixed on Ling Yi’s earlier point:

"So, you’re saying that the last few to leave..."

Ling Yi nodded.

"That’s right. They might not seem that special at Tier Two Peak, but once they step into Tier Three, they’ll be much stronger than their peers who master Realm Power through normal means. In some cases, if their Mental Realm counters their opponent’s, they can have a completely overwhelming advantage..."

Lin Feng immediately raised an eyebrow.

’In that case, if I have my Genetic Combat Team hold out until the very end, they’ll be able to absorb that extra Realm Energy.’

’That would cause a massive boost to the entire team’s Mental Realms.’

’When they reach Tier Three in the future, outfitted with the gear I create, each of them will have the strength to take on three enemies at once.’

’Then, even if we face a Tier Three Late-stage Mother Empress leading a Tier Three Zerg Swarm of hundreds or even thousands, we’ll be able to defend a permanent base and establish a final safe zone for humanity.’

While the two were talking, the team had already reached the foot of the second active volcano.

Lin Feng and Ling Yi sat down to rest, allowing the Genetic Warriors to kill the nearby Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zergs for practice.

Lin Feng then used the collected Armor and other materials to help the others repair their Battle Armor and, most importantly, their Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords.

After a round of restoring their equipment’s Durability, the second Realm Trial was about to begin.

They were once again facing an Unyielding Realm King Spine Zerg. This time, however, following the demonstration Lin Feng had provided, Qin Hu and the others would take care of it themselves.

Everyone unfolded the Membrane Wings on their backs, ascended toward the crater, and raised their Cannons...

Half an hour later, the second King Spine Zerg let out a final screech and collapsed.

They had defeated it through their combined efforts.

This time, Lin Feng hovered behind the others, carefully observing the King Spine Zerg’s body as it faded away.

Sure enough, a portion of the dissipating energy ions flowed into the bodies of every Genetic Warrior present.

’This means that just by participating in the battle, they can share in and accumulate a bit of Realm Power.’

’There even seems to be some energy clinging to the surface of my own body, but since I don’t have the Spine Zerg gene, I can’t directly absorb it.’

’But I know my Particle Control Realm can scan it and directly Copy a similar ability.’

’If I keep this up, the Unyielding Realm created by my Particle Control Seal might be able to get infinitely close to the original’s effect.’

’This way, as long as I protect the Genetic Warriors all the way to the last volcano and we complete the final trial...’

’...I’ll have essentially gotten a Realm Ability for free.’

’Although a copied ability’s mastery and effect are fixed at the level they were when I made contact and can’t grow further, something like the Unyielding Realm, which can passively trigger the Resurrection Armor effect, could absolutely become one of my trump cards.’

’Even though I can only master one Mental Realm at Tier Three, I can use Particle Control to Copy multiple different Realm Abilities.’

’In future battles, I’ll be able to catch my enemies completely off guard.’

’Shen Jie’s Slaughter Realm gave me the extra effect of a 50% boost to my Physique Attribute. After I Copy the Unyielding Realm’s resurrection ability, my Power will rise to a whole new level.’

’And I’ll be much more confident about killing the Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress near the Capital.’
