After Rift closed, Meteor Abyss returned to deathly silence.
The poisonous mist surged back from all directions, filling the space that had just been torn apart.
Lin Feng took back Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd, and he lowered his head and glanced at his right hand.
The tiger's mouth reveals the dark red texture underneath.
Lin Feng Try to move your fingers.
The ring finger and little finger are unresponsive.
He changed Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd to his left hand.
No one around the contestants came close.
They were scattered a hundred meters away. The geniuses who had their origins taken away by Tu Qianjue earlier had pale faces and purple lips, as if they were seriously ill.
A genius wearing dark blue armor hesitated for a moment and took two steps towards Lin Feng.
"Lin..."
Lin Feng glanced over with lowered eyes.
The man immediately stopped and returned to his original position.
No one dared to move anymore.
Lin Feng turned around and his eyes fell on the spot where Tu Qianjue was standing before.
There is a large piece of flesh and blood residue on the ground, mixed with a few broken dark red collar fragments. Half of the sternum that Tu Qianjue tore off when he escaped is also left here, and the bone surface is covered with devouring patterns.
The system prompt sounds in Sea of Consciousness.
[Sovereign Seventh Stage origin residue detected.]
[The remnants include: Devouring Law fragments × 3, Abyss Origin Essence × 1, Spatial Perception fragments × 1.]
[Is it absorbed?]
"Suck."
Lin Feng squatted down and pressed the pile of flesh and blood with his left hand.
The dark red energy was extracted from the flesh and blood and poured into the body along the palm of his hand. The Devouring Law fragments were stirred in the meridians, wrapped in Slaughter Origin, and pressed deep into Sea of Consciousness.
Abyss Origin Essence is the strongest. After pouring into the Dantian, the breath of Lin Feng rises slightly.
Sovereign First Order mid-term.
We are still far from a breakthrough, but our foundation has become thicker.
When the last fragment of Spatial Perception entered the body, the mark on the tiger's mouth of Lin Feng's right hand suddenly lit up.
A very faint sense of direction emerged in Sea of Consciousness.
Northeast.
is moving.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes.
Tu Qianjue swallowed his flesh and blood and obtained Spatial Perception. And he absorbed the Spatial Perception fragment left by Tu Qianjue, and could also capture the direction of the mark in the opposite direction.
There is an invisible line between the two of them.
Whoever finds the other party along this line first will take the initiative.
Lin Feng stood up and did not rush to chase.
The Devouring Mark in his right hand was still eroding flesh and blood. He could feel the power slowly spreading around the tiger's mouth, eating more cells with each passing breath.
The system pops up the panel again.
[Devouring Mark analysis completed.]
[Mark source: Tu Qianjue Devouring Law.]
[Function 1: Passively sense host location (accuracy decreases with distance).]
[Function 2: Continuously erodes the flesh and blood around the wound, blocking the body's self-healing.]
[Erasure Plan 1: Forcibly erase it with Slaughter Origin, which takes about seven days, during which the right hand cannot be used.]
[Plan 2: Swallow the body of Tu Qianjue, recover the source of the law, and the mark will automatically dissipate.]
[Clear Plan 3: Break through to Sovereign Second Order and cover the mark with a higher-level source.]
seven days.
Lin Feng glanced at his right hand.
The game is still going on, seven days is too long.
Option two requires finding Tu Qianjue.
Option three requires a lot of resources to break through.
He temporarily suppressed the three plans and scanned the battlefield again.
In addition to the remnants of Tu Qianjue, there are more than a dozen corpses of contestants on the ground. These people died in the hands of Tu Qianjue. Origin Core has been devoured, but trace amounts of energy still remain in the bones and flesh.
Lin Feng did not touch those corpses.
He walked to the edge of the battlefield and picked up two broken Sovereign-grade weapons. The weapons were made of pretty good material and were just right for feeding Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd.
Several contestants saw his actions and looked at each other, but no one said a word.
The genius in dark blue armor finally plucked up the courage and said, "Lin Feng, Tu Qianjue's space blockade has been lifted, and the teleportation card has been restored. Should we evacuate first?"
Lin Feng didn't even look back.
"As you wish."
The genius in dark blue armor was stunned for a moment, then whispered to the people around him, "He won't leave."
"Of course he won't leave, he is here to play the game." A third-level genius next to him said in a low voice, "Didn't you see that he was absorbing Tu Qianjue just now? This man treats the battlefield as a resource mine."
Several people were silent for a moment.
Three seriously injured people crushed the teleportation card, a white light came on, and sent them out Meteor Abyss.
The remaining people did not move.
They looked at Lin Feng's back, each with their own thoughts.
External surveillance room.
Two of Augustus's cronies are still standing in front of group Formation Disk.
The warning on the light screen is still beating. The battle records of Lin Feng and Tu Qianjue are locked by the main formation and cannot be tampered with.
One of them had his fingers hanging above Formation Disk, sweat dripping down his fingertips.
"It can't be changed." His voice was harsh. "The timestamps and spatial coordinates of the main array are all bound. If one data is changed, the entire set of records will collapse."
The other man gritted his teeth.
"Then mark the entire record as "equipment failure" and apply for sealing it on the grounds of system error."
"It's too late."
Zhou Tong's voice came from behind.
They both turned back at the same time.
Zhou Tong stood next to the monitoring station, pressing his fingers on the panel. Under his fingertips, a golden light of authority was spreading.
"The main formation record has been synchronized to Heavenly Prodigy Tournament Chief Referee Panel." Zhou Tong took back his hand and glanced at the two of them, "It was completed three seconds ago."
Their faces instantly turned pale.
"Elder Zhou, you!"
"I just follow the rules." Zhou Tong turned around and walked towards the door. When he passed the broken wine glass on the ground, his steps paused.
"Put the wine away."
He opened the door and walked out.
The door closes behind you.
The two cronies looked at each other, and one of them suddenly took out the communication crystal.
"Legion Commander, the record has been circulated."
The person opposite Jingshi was silent for three breaths.
Augustus's voice came from inside, and there was no emotion.
"How many were passed on?"
"All."
There was another silence.
"Got it."
Communication is cut off.
The two of them were holding the crystal, their fingers trembling slightly. They couldn't hear Augustus's emotions, but precisely because they couldn't hear them, it made people even more panicked.
Within Meteor Abyss.
Lin Feng Just after he stood up, there was another stab of pain in his right hand.
Devouring Mark has spread.
He looked down and saw that the dark red lines that were originally limited to the tiger's mouth had spread to the edge of his palm.
The diffusion rate is not fast, but it is very stable.
At this rate, it will spread to the entire palm in three days and reach the wrist in five days.
The system marked a line of small words next to it.
[The speed of imprint diffusion is positively related to the intensity of host activity.]
[High-intensity fighting will accelerate the spread.]
Lin Feng clenched his fist.
I can still hold things with my right hand, but the stinging pain from my phalanges when exerting force reduces my grip strength to only 30% of its usual strength.
Can't fight a tough battle.
At least this hand can't hit for the time being.
He held Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd in his left hand again and looked deep into Meteor Abyss.
The poisonous mist surges in the distance, and occasionally the roar of Star Beast comes from the depths of the mist. The survival knockout competition is still going on, and points are still accumulating.
He stepped into the poisonous fog.
Behind him, the prodigy in dark blue armor looked at the direction in which he disappeared, his Adam's apple twitching.
"His right hand is crippled, and he still goes inside?"
The person next to me didn't answer.
Because they just saw that when Lin Feng walked into the poisonous fog, the fog automatically retreated to both sides.
It's not the wind.
It is the realm on his body that is dispelling the poisonous mist.
One of my right hands is missing, and I still have my left hand.
War Halberd is still there.
That man never intended to stop.
Meteor Abyss deep.
Lin Feng walks alone on the black rock formations.
The poisonous fog was isolated by Absolute Forbidden Zone, and everything within the field of vision was clear. Star Beast corpses of various sizes were scattered on the ground, some of which had rotted, and some of which still retained their original form.
The system continues to scan the surrounding environment and marks every living Star Beast on the Sea of Consciousness map.
There is a Venom Lizard of Sovereign Second Order three kilometers away.
There are two Sovereign Third Tiers and Rock Armor Beasts five kilometers away.
Farther away, there is a blurry light spot of life.
The location of that light spot is very deep, almost at the bottom of Meteor Abyss. Its original fluctuation is stronger than that of Rock Armor Beast, but it has not moved.
Lin Feng noted the location, but did not go there immediately.
He first walked towards the nearest Venom Lizard.
I can't use my right hand, so I just use Star Beast to practice the feel of holding a halberd with my left hand.
He walked the distance of three kilometers in less than half a minute.
Venom Lizard was lying on a protruding rock platform, covered with dark green scales. When it sensed the approach of Lin Feng, it opened its mouth and spat out a stream of dark purple venom.
Lin Feng ducked sideways.
The venom fell on the rock formation behind him, making a hissing sound and corroding a pit half a meter deep.
Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd swept out.
The angle of the halberd held by the left hand was different from that of the right hand, and the power transmission path was also deviated. The halberd's edge slashed across Venom Lizard's neck, only cutting through the scales and not touching the bones.
Venom Lizard roared and flicked its tail.
Lin Feng stepped forward, swept his body close to the tail, and raised the tip of the halberd upward.
This time, the angle is right.
The spear penetrated through Venom Lizard's lower jaw and penetrated his skull.
Venom Lizard's body twitched a few times and collapsed to the ground.
Lin Feng took out War Halberd, raised his left hand and looked at it. The tiger's mouth was not cracked, and the callus on the palm suppressed the vibration of the halberd shaft.
The accuracy of the left hand still needs to be adjusted, but the damage is sufficient.
He squatted down and took out a Sovereign Second Order Star Core from Venom Lizard's body.
The moment Star Core took it, the mark on the tiger's mouth on his right hand jumped again.
There was a faint ripple from that invisible line.
Tu Qianjue is still alive.
And, it's getting closer.
