Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 310: Life Core

“Hmph, petty tricks.”

The Invincible Fist Sage snorted coldly. As a distinguished Sage, how could he take these tricks seriously?

He opened his hand, and flames erupted from his body. An invisible fluctuation suddenly enveloped the entire hall.

Boom.

Flames. There were flames everywhere. This was simply a world of flames, akin to a purgatory.

The raging flames would even transform into flaming giants that quickly enveloped those monsters and burned them in a frenzy.

Lin Feng’s expression also changed slightly. He actually could not sense any Astral Power fluctuations in this flaming world. To put it simply, he could not sense that this was a special force field.

He knew that this must be the Divine Kingdom, the Divine Kingdom of the Invincible Fist Sage!

Lin Feng had already seen a Divine Kingdom. In reality, Meta-divine martial artists already had Divine Kingdoms. However, the Divine Kingdoms of those Meta-divine martial artists could still be detected by Lin Feng. At least he knew that they were special force fields, and he could target and destroy them.

But what about the Divine Kingdom of a Sage?

The Divine Kingdom of Sages could already become “invisible”. Or rather, it could completely conceal the fluctuations of Astral Power, and even make it impossible to detect that this was a special force field.

At least Lin Feng could not sense it now. It was as if the Divine Kingdom of Fire had become a real world, filled with flames everywhere.

If Lin Feng was an opponent fighting against the Invincible Fist Sage at this moment, faced with this Divine Kingdom, he only had one method, and that was to destroy this Divine Kingdom by force. However, a Divine Kingdom with such a range was probably not so easy to destroy.

Lin Feng truly put away the arrogance in his heart. After all, he’s still someone with the “combat power of Sage”, rather than a true Sage.

As the flames blazed, the monsters were all burned to ashes. Just as the Invincible Fist Sage was about to put away his Divine Kingdom, the monsters that were originally burned to ashes suddenly appeared again.

“Huh?”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s expression changed slightly as he used the power of the Divine Kingdom to destroy these monsters again.

However, just like before, the destroyed monsters reappeared.

“Let me try.”

Lin Feng grabbed with his hand and grabbed a monster. This monster was fat and looked like a fleshworm, but its mouth was filled with sharp teeth. Moreover, there were hundreds of tentacle-like thin legs under its body.

Furthermore, the monsters were very strong. Lin Feng roughly estimated that they were at least at the level of demon generals. Then, he squeezed with his hand.

Thump.

The monster was crushed directly, but there was no feeling of flesh and blood. Instead, it turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Buzz.

This monster reappeared.

“No, these are not lifeforms. Dean, dispel the Divine Kingdom.”

A glint flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes. He had sensed something unusual about these monsters.

Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage dispelled the Divine Kingdom, only to discover that there were more and more monsters. Lin Feng grabbed a monster with his large hand, allowing the monster to struggle in his hand.

Thump.

When he squeezed hard and crushed the monster, it instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

However, the Spear of Destruction in Lin Feng’s body suddenly twitched at this moment.

“As expected, these monsters are related to the first civilization, and even to the Spear of Destruction!”

Lin Feng was a little pleasantly surprised. The Spear of Destruction was an Origin Weapon. He had yet to master it up until now. It had only fused into his body. There was even a trace of destructive power that was constantly depleting the cells of Lin Feng’s combat body.

Since there was a hint of movement from the Spear of Destruction, these monsters and even this place were very likely related to the Spear of Destruction.

“How is it? Have you sensed something?”

The Invincible Fist Sage looked at Lin Feng with a solemn expression. This was too strange. Undying monsters?

He did not believe that they could not be killed. There must be something strange about it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the shaking became more and more intense, the walls in the grotto cracked. However, the murals on the walls seemed to come “alive” all of a sudden. Terrifying monsters appeared in the grotto and roared at Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage.

“There’s something on the altar! Destroy the altar.”

With a thought, Lin Feng used his combat body and quickly expanded into a small giant. He raised his huge arm and smashed it hard at the altar.

Boom.

The altar instantly collapsed and shattered, revealing a pit.

In the pit was a fist-sized scarlet crystal that flickered with a demonic light.

Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the scarlet crystal. Immediately, the surrounding monsters roared at the sky, as if they were very indignant. However, they instantly disappeared.

“What is this?”

The Invincible Fist Sage was very curious. Was this scarlet crystal the reason those monsters had appeared?

Although those monsters were not lifeforms, their combat power was real, comparable to that of demon generals. If ordinary martial artists had entered, even a Meta-divine Realm martial artist would face certain death when surrounded by so many monsters.

“I don’t know what this is either. It’s very strange.”

Lin Feng shook his head. He did not know what this scarlet crystal was, but when he held it, his entire body felt incomparably comfortable.

It was as if countless cells were craving it.

“Longbetham, what is this scarlet crystal?” Lin Feng asked Longbetham in his mind.

“If I am not wrong, this should be the life core of a planetary lifeform with six life transitions!” Longbetham also sounded shocked.

“The life core of a planetary lifeform?” Lin Feng was deeply shaken.

A planetary lifeform was a great lifeform that could roam the cosmos!

Any planetary lifeform could be considered great. Even in the vast cosmos, planetary lifeforms were respected and highly valued.

But now, Longbetham said that this was the life core left behind by a planetary lifeform. How could Lin Feng believe it?

“I am certain of it. Once a lifeform undergoes six transitions and metamorphoses into a planetary lifeform, the soul, energy, mental power, consciousness, and so on of a planetary lifeform will all condense into a life core! As long as the life core does not die, a planetary lifeform will never die.”

“This scarlet crystal is the life core of a planetary lifeform. However, it’s only a small fragment, not even one in ten thousand of the whole. The life core of a planetary lifeform is extremely precious. You can keep it. You can comprehend it yourself or use it as energy, and it can even provide power for your Origin Weapon. However, I suggest for you comprehend it yourself first. Perhaps it will be of some help to your third life transition, fourth life transition, and even becoming a planetary lifeform in the future.”

Lin Feng nodded and put away the life core. Lin Feng had a vague premonition that this mysterious grotto might be related to the first civilization.
