Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

In the ancient days before all lives were born, even space-time didn’t exist.

The world was opened up, being in a state of chaos. Countless strange creatures were naturally born from it.

Thereafter, with the Big Bang, development started amidst the chaos, producing the initial space-time.

However, the strange creatures that experienced the Big Bang weren’t destroyed. They landed in the new universe and scattered out to all areas.

Some treasures were born before the world and tended to possess countless mysterious abilities. They could neglect the existing rules in the world and possessed their own strange abilities with their own law of causation that would catch others unaware. They had their own judgmental rules.

Once activated, they could, for example, ignore most defenses in the world and immediately capture a target.

There were stories of such treasures in various myths and legends that existed in different civilizations on Earth.

The northern Europe’s myths and legends controlled thunder. And only the Thunder God could wield the Thunder God’s Hammer. There was also the Pandora’s box that existed in the western myths and legends, said to seal up the entire hell.

…

Huaxia had the longest history and had the most number of such treasures in their myths and legends.

In the story Journey to the West, there was the Violetgold Calabash. It was said that Taishang Elder Lord had harvested it from an ancient celestial vine and refined it. As long as a person’s name was called and the person had replied, they would immediately be sucked into it. It wouldn’t take long before the target would dissolve in it.

In the Investiture of the Gods, there was the Yin Yang Mirror. When the Yin Yang Mirror was pointed toward a person from afar, it would cause the person’s soul to scatter.

There was also the story of the 24 Ocean Immobilizing Bead, with each of them capable of developing a world and possessing endless profoundness and mysteries.

…

These treasures were known as xiantian spiritual treasures.

Born before the universe and possessing endless spiritual auras, they were named thus.

Right now, this was the feeling that Feng Lin had.

He felt streams of xiantian spiritual aura coming from the space within the copper coin. It was unknown how ancient it was, but it was born before the universe.

However, this aura was extremely weak, being faintly indiscernible, as if they would disappear at any moment.

Could this copper coin be…?

Feng Lin’s heart skipped a beat.

Winged Copper Coin!

This obvious characteristic made him think of an extremely remote but mysterious treasure that had unique effects in Huaxia’s myths and legends. The treasure itself didn’t have a great prowess but could counter all other treasures and was very incisive.

This was highly likely!

This copper coin was spotted in rust and appeared useless. However, its interior space was extremely big and he wasn’t able to see its ends using his will.

Feng Lin had only encountered two similar treasures like these, and both of them were in his hands. One of them was the Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel, and the other was the pill concoction furnace—the Heavens and Earth Furnace!

It was a pity that both treasures were at the initial refinement state and had yet to be able to completely release their greatest prowess.

This showed that the copper coin was definitely not an ordinary item.

After being clear about this, was there really a need for him to think further about his choice?

Although the other two treasures were quite good as well, they weren’t worth mentioning before a xiantian spiritual treasure.

Even if it was a xiantian spiritual treasure that was so severely damaged that it was unknown how much of its prowess was still left.

Even if it was damaged, he wouldn’t be losing out at all.

Xiantian spiritual treasures had their own xiantian dao charm patterns. If he could just study these charm patterns thoroughly, the value would still far surpass that of the other two treasures.

“I’ll be taking this copper coin!” Feng Lin made the decision on the spot and grabbed onto the coin, not releasing it. No one was going to take it away from him.

Seeing that Feng Lin had made this decision, the tree demon village head appeared very stunned and advised him, “Honorable guest, do you want to give more thought into it? This Violetgold Calabash can store anything and this Evergreen Vine can augment the growth of the spiritual medicines. Both of them are much better than this rusty copper coin! We dug this copper coin from the mountains many many years ago and its qi activities are completely lost. It no longer has much value.”

These demonic spirits were very honest and were sparing a thought for Feng Lin.

“There’s no need for that! I have an affinity with this treasure!” Feng Lin smiled and didn’t explain further.

The village head had clearly not recognized the value of this copper coin; thus, Feng Lin naturally wouldn’t be that foolish to be explaining it to him either.

If he reaped great benefits from this, he should just be silent and enjoy the rewards. There wasn’t a need to attract unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that Feng Lin had decided and couldn’t be persuaded otherwise, the tree demon village head sighed before pleading, “Honorable guest, there’s no time to lose! Those demonic beasts are almost getting into the village. Please help us out!”

“Alright!” On the account of the xiantian spiritual treasure, Feng Lin didn’t reject any further and acted decisively.

He darted out and quickly arrived outside the village.

The demonic beasts attacked with a grand momentum like tidal waves that wanted to drown the entire earth. They surrounded the village from all directions, not allowing anyone to escape.

The stretch of black wild beasts’ bodies appeared extremely terrifying. All the demonic spirits in the village curled up together, shivering.

Roar!

At the sight of this, the demon with a tiger head smiled hideously. It suddenly let out a huge roar that was like thunder crackling in the sky, causing a group of monsters to drop down in fright. It smiled proudly.

When the demon king bellowed furiously, the other demonic beasts also cried out. There were all sorts of demonic beasts, including tigers, leopards, and wolves. The beastly howls they released sounded extremely vicious.

Feng Lin stood at the very front, facing this ferocious aura and smiling coldly.

Beast King Might?

(I have that too!)

His body shook slightly and then swelled up, as if he had become a violent monkey that stood on two feet. His eyes turned gold and were filled with viciousness.

Howl howl howl!

Feng Lin gathered his breath at his diaphragm and then let out a long cry as he raised his head. His voice was like that of a monkey that pierced through the sky.

A majestic aura shook the air, forming violent waves that gushed out in all directions.

Invisible auras descended and those wild beasts appeared as if they were facing a great disaster, sobbing as they kept on backing away.

The sound of the beasts’ howls came to a stop.

Feng Lin stood in front. The place was cleared off as the beasts backed away, not daring to face him head-on.

The Beast King Gene had the power to shake up and scare all beasts. It wasn’t something that these ordinary demonic beasts could take on.

The demon with a tiger head glared with eyes wide-open, radiating an evil gleam. It locked its gaze onto Feng Lin, as if it had seen a great foe and it kept on growling.

Through its senses, Feng Lin’s entire body was giving off a beastly massacring aura. Clearly, he was also a beast king and was here to snatch his position as king. The demon was enraged.

At that moment, the tiger demon forgot all the other demonic spirits. All of his hatred was focused on Feng Lin and it released deep growls that were like stifled thunder, trying to display his strength.

Feng Lin didn’t show any signs of weakness and released the Beast King Might without any restraints, challenging the tiger demon across space. It was as if they were two beast kings that were battling over their territories, fighting each other to the bitter death.

The surrounding demonic beasts all stopped their actions and dodged to the side, not daring to be brought into the fight between the kings.

“What’s going on?”

“Why did those demonic beasts stop?”

“This is unbelievable!”

…

All the demonic spirits from the Hundred Grass Town felt very surprised.

The village head seemed to have sensed something and was instantly shocked.

(This honorable guest is clearly a human, but why does he possess a demon king’s might?)

(Could it be that he was an extremely strong demon that had bewitched everyone?)

…

“Come!” Feng Lin beckoned toward the tiger demon challengingly and walked over.

Many demonic beasts scattered off, wearing expressions of fear and submission.

In their eyes, Feng Lin was clearly a beast king whom they had no idea where he popped up from.

The new beast king was going to challenge the old beast king’s position!

King versus king!

It wasn’t something that they could interfere with.

Feng Lin walked up to the tiger demon and provoked a battle between beast kings!
