Permanent Martial Arts

In the Sea Emperor Palace, Lin Feng had already used the Tidal Combat Body. The three-kilometer-long combat body was full of an imposing air.

However, at this moment, Lin Feng's expression was a little conflicted.

He had begun to absorb the huge life core fragment in the Sea Emperor Palace. More than ten days had passed since then, and he was completely immersed in it.

There were many memories of the Leviathan contained in this huge life core fragment, and they were very complete.

It was mainly the process of growth from a time the Leviathan was weak to the sixth life transition, which was also the process of becoming a planetary lifeform.

As the life core fragment was huge, so were the memories. Even absorbing a little of it was equivalent to receiving tens of thousands of years of memory.

Moreover, Lin Feng was completely immersed in the process. Even his consciousness was beginning to fall into decadence, and even Lin Feng himself did not notice it.

The memories of the Leviathan could indeed give Lin Feng a lot of insight, and even allow his mental power to break through to the fourth level of the Mental Guidance Technique. However, at the same time, once Lin Feng was completely immersed in it and could not extricate himself, he would be "assimilated" by the memories of the Leviathan, and would never wake up.

Lin Feng was lost in it now, yet he did not know this himself. It was as if he was already a Leviathan, carefree in the waters and an absolute overlord.

As its strength gradually increased, it began to go ashore, and began to slaughter and devour.

The memories this time were very detailed and complete. They were far from the life core fragment that Lin Feng had obtained in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. The memories back then were intermittent, and only existed as fragments.

Hence, as those memories were fragmented themselves, Lin Feng was not as completely immersed in them back then as he was now.

Now that Lin Feng had obtained such a complete memory, it was as if he had transformed into a Leviathan. He had inherited all the actions, thoughts, and so on of the Leviathan, following its instincts completely.

"Alas… He's actually lost in the memories of the Leviathan. Did the Spear of Destruction really choose him?"

In the darkness, a sigh echoed. It was the Sea Emperor!

However, the Sea Emperor did not move. He knew that absorbing the life core was not that easy. The reason he agreed so readily was also to see if Lin Feng could really absorb the life core fragment.

But from the looks of things now, it seemed like Lin Feng was no different from an ordinary lifeform after all. He was lost in it.

Some of the sea beasts under the Sea Emperor were also lost in the memories of the Leviathan and could not extricate themselves. In the end, they were devoured by the Sea Emperor. As they were immersed in the memories of the Leviathan, even if they were forcefully awakened, they would still become the Leviathan.

In a sense, if they were really assimilated by the memories of the Leviathan, it would be tantamount to the Leviathan being resurrected.

However, the Sea Emperor still decided to give Lin Feng some time. It was not that he trusted Lin Feng, but that he trusted the Spear of Destruction. He believed that there was definitely more to the lifeform chosen by the Spear of Destruction.

…

On the coast of the Dead Sea of Abyss, Sage Kang and the others were waiting quietly.

It was apparent that the expressions of the four Sages were very solemn, and somewhat anxious.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, three airships appeared in the distance.

"The Invincible Sage has returned!"

A trace of joy appeared on Sage Yuanyi's face. They were finally back. Ever since they received the message from the Invincible Fist Sage, the four Sages felt as if days were passing by in an agonizingly slow manner.

Indeed, three Sages alighted from the airship. They were the three Sages from the academic faction. They had gone to another city, mobilized three airships, and rushed back as quickly as possible.

"Invincible Sage, is the message you sent true?"

When the Invincible Fist Sage and the others returned to the shore of the Dead Sea of Abyss, Sage Kang could not help but ask immediately.

"Sage Kang, it's true. Moreover, the situation now is even more serious than before! The parasitic species have completely spread. They have appeared in not only Dragonlith City, but more than ten cities of various scales. Humanity is experiencing an unprecedented calamity!"

The Invincible Fist Sage's eyes were completely bloodshot. During this period of time, there was bad news almost every day. The parasites had spread in an overwhelming manner, and humans could put up almost no resistance.

Even Sages were not their match, let alone ordinary people.

"Sage Claus has also fallen!"

At the mention of Sage Claus, the seven Sages fell silent. Sage Claus' tragic fall truly showed how grim and cruel this incident was.

If the parasitic species continued to wreak havoc, humanity would likely collapse completely in less than a year, in a few months.

"By the way, where's Sage Lin Feng? Only Sage Lin Feng can stop the broodmother now."

The Invincible Fist Sage looked around, but did not see Lin Feng. He had a bad feeling.

"Sage Lin Feng has yet to emerge. Half a month has already passed. According to our agreement with Sage Lin Feng back then, we can only wait for another half a month!" Sage Kang's expression was solemn as he said in a low voice.

"But how many more people will be dead in half a month?" The Invincible Fist Sage was somewhat anxious.

"There's nothing we can do. Even if the seven of us go, how can we stop the broodmother? Sage Lin Feng is our only hope. All we can do now is wait!"

Sage Kang made the final decision. He still held great authority and could make the decision on major matters such as this.

Hence, the Seven Sages waited quietly on the shore of the Dead Sea. Every day, countless messages would arrive, almost all of which were grievous news. The speed at which the parasitic species was spreading was growing more and more rapid. Humanity was truly at a life-or-death juncture.

Time passed slowly. The seven Sages were unmoved, but as time slowly went by, their expressions also became very grim.

"It's been a month!"

Sage Kang opened his eyes and glanced at the still calm Dead Sea. His voice was a little hoarse, and even carried a trace of bitterness.

It had been a month, and Lin Feng had not come ashore!

There were two possible reasons to why Lin Feng had not come ashore. One was that Lin Feng had been delayed by something and could not come ashore in time. The other was the awful possibility that Lin Feng had encountered trouble at the bottom of the sea, and might even have fallen.

However, regardless of the case, the period of a month was up. It was impossible for the Sages to continue waiting.

"I hope Sage Lin Feng was delayed by something. He's our only hope! Leave a communicator for Sage Lin Feng, and record the matter of the parasitic species on it. We'll set off immediately to stop the parasitic species!"

Sage Kang was also very decisive. He did things without hesitation. Since a month had passed and Lin Feng had not come ashore, they had to leave.

Countless humans needed them now!

They might die if they went, but this was their responsibility. They were Sages, the tutelary deities of humanity. When danger came, they had to shoulder it!

Led by the Invincible Fist Sage, the seven Sages left the Dead Sea of Abyss and resolutely returned to the human world!
