Chapter 279: Homelander

"Is that inappropriate?"

As if asking himself, Lin Feng walked up to Zhang Chulan and tapped the center of his forehead.

A faint spiritual glow entered his mind.

"Then I'll place a restriction on you. If you casually teach the Eight Wonders and cause chaos in the supernatural world again, this power will reverse."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Chulan with a faintly mischievous smile.

That smile made Zhang Chulan uncomfortable all over. He pursed his lips and asked, "What will happen?"

"The reversed Eight Wonders will erase your qi and turn you into an ordinary person. I added a tiny bit of contagion to it, which means it will spread through you across the entire Earth within a few days, leaving not a single supernatural being in this world."

Lin Feng calmly spoke words that filled Zhang Chulan with terror.

"Th... that's how it is."

A bead of cold sweat rolled down Zhang Chulan's face.

In other words, if Lin Feng wished it, everyone could become ordinary people within a few days.

From then on, there would no longer be a so-called supernatural world. Those with money would lose their powers, but it would not affect their status.

But people like him would never have another chance to rise again.

"I understand."

Zhang Chulan firmly committed this to memory without saying anything more.

Seeing Zhang Chulan like this, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

In truth, even if this guy accidentally triggered his restriction and caused the entire world to lose its qi, it would not make much difference.

Because Queenie was still here, and this restriction would not affect her.

If any unrest broke out then, Queenie alone would be able to handle it.

And if she wished, she could lead this world into a new supernatural era once more.

"Queenie, I'm leaving."

Lin Feng took Feng Baobao to Queenie and said goodbye.

"I'll come see you when I have time. Take care."

Queenie stepped forward, hugged Lin Feng, and lightly kissed his cheek.

"You too. This world will be yours from now on."

Lin Feng embraced Queenie, and the hand resting on her back glimmered faintly.

A portion of the memories in his mind instantly poured into Queenie's.

Those memories contained the technological knowledge of several civilizations, knowledge centuries ahead of this era.

This would ensure that if Queenie was ever besieged by everyone, she could still turn the tide with the knowledge in her mind.

"You gave me all this, but I probably won't even need it."

Queenie smiled slightly as she sensed the memories in her mind.

"It never hurts to know more. I'm off."

Lin Feng was not the type to be reluctant to part with things. As for the memories he had devoured, he would sometimes discard a portion of them.

That would ease some of his burden and make his consciousness feel lighter. After all, he possessed hundreds of billions of years of memories shared by the symbiotes.

Lin Feng released the embrace, stepped back, and stood beside Feng Baobao.

Then he tapped his wrist a few times.

"Zhang Chulan, remember to tell Xu San and Xu Si!"

Just after Feng Baobao finished her instructions, a flash of radiant light appeared, and she and Lin Feng vanished from the uneasy Longhu Mountain.

"Huh? Where did they go?"

Zhang Chulan hurried to where Feng Baobao had disappeared and carefully examined the area.

He discovered that this was not something any cultivation technique could accomplish.

Nor was it the Great Luofu Grotto View. Some supreme power that transcended space had taken the two of them away.

They were likely no longer in this world.

Within dimensional space, Lin Feng, who had reached pseudo-four-dimensionality, arrived in such a place again and finally saw a few clues.

Within this space filled with countless bubble-like worlds, every world moved at an incredibly high speed.

That speed surpassed the speed of light. At least, to Lin Feng, the worlds moved like flickering stars.

They might be here one second, then appear somewhere far away the next.

At such speeds, the process of movement could not be seen. Or perhaps their flickering was itself the process of movement.

"At this speed, I was really lucky not to get sucked into another world during my previous crossings."

Just as Lin Feng was counting his blessings, his jinxed mouth struck.

A pitch-black world suddenly appeared before him, and a terrifying suction force instantly pulled him and the unconscious Feng Baobao inside.

"Fuck!"

Lin Feng wanted nothing more than to slap himself. But now that he had been pulled into this world, he could not just escape directly. At the very least, he had to get his bearings first.

He held Feng Baobao tightly as the two passed through the world barrier. The halo of light before them instantly turned into a dirty grayish-white concrete wall.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a foul-smelling alley.

Thud!

"What world is this?"

After steadying himself, Lin Feng scooped up the unconscious Baobao beside him. Then, with a turn, he vanished completely.

Boom!!!

Not long after Lin Feng disappeared, a figure wearing a dark blue bodysuit, eagle-head shoulder pieces, and a striped cape descended from the sky.

"Homelander, did you find anything?"

A voice asked through Homelander's earpiece.

He turned his head and looked around, but found nothing.

Then Homelander shrugged, raised an eyebrow, and said to the person in his earpiece, "There's nothing here. Just a pile of disgusting trash. Fuck, it got all over me. Get someone else for this kind of job next time."

Homelander cursed for a few more moments, then turned his knees inward and bent his body slightly.

Boom!!!

The explosive sound, like a sonic boom, instantly shattered the surrounding glass. Homelander shot into the sky, and the shockwave he kicked up cracked the ground throughout the alley.

Not long after Homelander left, Lin Feng's figure suddenly reappeared.

"Homelander? What world is this?"

Lin Feng frowned. The power level of this world was ridiculously high.

That guy who looked like Superman alone possessed strength roughly comparable to the Superman Lin Feng remembered.

His supersonic flight, his durability, and his immense strength made him practically a replica of Superman.

Only that bodysuit made Lin Feng uncomfortable. It was saturated with a strong American style.

He had never watched Black Robe Squad, so he did not know that the Homelander he had just seen was already at the pinnacle of this world's power.

Lin Feng had assumed that most people here were about as strong as him.

"This is a bit troublesome. Feng Baobao probably wouldn't stand a chance against that guy just now. I need to strengthen her."

Lin Feng looked at Feng Baobao, still unconscious in his arms. Strands of shapeless, fluid-like crimson matter slowly separated from the hand holding her.

The crimson matter seeped into Feng Baobao's body and, in an instant, fused with her cells, strengthening her physical abilities.

"Good thing I devoured the symbiotes. I no longer need life modification to strengthen others. I only need to split off a little avatar. This way, Feng Baobao will at least be stronger than that person just now."

In just a few minutes, Lin Feng raised Feng Baobao's strength from less than one percent of Homelander's to several times greater than his.

He was no longer merely powerful as an individual. His abilities had also become extraordinarily diverse, and his broad range of capabilities allowed Lin Feng to gain the upper hand anywhere.
