Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 235: Second Life Transition

“So this is the Tidal Combat Body?”

Lin Feng raised his hand. His hand had already become a colossus that could easily crush a mountain with a single palm. At this moment, Lin Feng was like a towering giant in the myths, standing tall in the energy factory.

Even though the energy factory was huge, it was not that convenient for him to move around with his massive body.

A height of 200 meters was simply terrifying. It was about the height of a 50-story building.

“There’s no Astral Power, nor any strange abnormal power, only raw power—the power of the combat body!”

Lin Feng was still sensing the combat body carefully. This combat body was actually just his body. There was nothing illusory about it. It was entirely a part of his body.

Moreover, unlike martial artists who had Astral Power or other powers, it was similar to those dire beasts, which relied purely on their own physical strength. One’s own body was the strongest.

“Petrification Technique!”

Lin Feng tried to use the Petrification Technique, but there was no reaction.

“Armor.”

There was no reaction either.

Next, there was no reaction for the Sharp Horn too. On the other hand, for the undying characteristic, Lin Feng’s combat body seemed to have an astonishing restorative ability, similar to the undying characteristic.

However, Lin Feng knew that this was not the undying characteristic. After his second life transition, all his previous innate abilities had disappeared. To be precise, they had not disappeared, but were integrated into his combat body.

For example, the defense of Lin Feng’s current combat body was shockingly strong. Even if he was injured, he could recover immediately. This was very similar to the armor, Petrification Technique, and the undying characteristic.

This was the characteristic of the Tidal Combat Body, which was very suitable for Lin Feng.

Such a massive combat body was already earth-shattering in the eyes of humans, like a prehistoric behemoth. However, in the vast universe, it was simply a drop in the ocean and far too insignificant.

In the cosmic cultivation system, the combat body was the only standard of measurement. How could one accommodate word-annihilating power without a massive combat body?

That would be nonsensical, and mythical.

The so-called deities were as insignificant as dust. How could they destroy a planet, or even a star? That was impossible. No matter how talented a lifeform was, it was impossible for its body to accommodate the energy to destroy a planet.

Even cultivators in the cosmic system followed scientific laws in a sense! After all, even something as powerful as a black hole, which could devour everything, including stars, was still several times larger than an ordinary celestial planet.

Although size could not determine everything, it could be used as a certain standard of measurement. Lin Feng’s mere 200-meter-tall combat body was only a second life transition lifeform under the cosmic cultivation system.

With such a huge body, Lin Feng did not find it inconvenient to move. Instead, he was very agile.

Of course, agility was only relative.

The Tidal Combat Body’s fortes were defense and strength. For strength, Lin Feng attempted Nonuple Body Tempering, but there was no reaction.

Actually, Nonuple Body Tempering was just a martial art created by the Invincible Fist Sage based on the structure of an ordinary human body. What use could it be for Lin Feng’s current 200-meter body?

However, there were also secret techniques for the combat body. In the Combat Body Guidance Technique, every combat body had its own secret technique. However, these secret techniques were all secret techniques for explosive power. For example, if Lin Feng wanted to go all out in a fight at the risk of his life, he could use these secret techniques for explosive power. Using just the Tidal Combat Body, he could instantly unleash all the power contained in the combat body, and even expend a portion of the energy in the combat body to unleash extraordinary power.

Of course, it would cause some damage to the combat body, but it would be extraordinarily powerful.

As for techniques, in reality, there were no techniques on combat bodies. The path of the combat body was to be forefront and suppress others by force. What use were techniques?

When two combat bodies fought each other, the effects of hitting the head and the body were actually the same. Neither of them had any fatal flaws. It was purely a battle of brute force and energy consumption in the combat body!

The endurance of the Tidal Combat Body was obviously stronger, especially since Lin Feng’s chose the method of cell division for his life transition, which caused his Tidal Combat Body to be far stronger than the Tidal Combat Body of ordinary lifeforms.

“Lin Feng, congratulations on your second life transition and mastering the Tidal Combat Body!”

Longbetham’s voice sounded in Lin Feng’s mind. It was obvious that Longbetham’s tone was rather happy. Even though it did not think highly of Lin Feng’s natural talent, it was a little surprised that Lin Feng could undergo a second life transition and even master the Tidal Combat Body in such a short period of time.

For the first time, it seemed to understand the meaning of impermanence in life.

In the vast cosmos, there were only too many talented lifeforms. Those powerful lifeforms that were born with four life transitions and matured with five life transitions found it very difficult to produce a planetary lifeform with six life transitions.

On the other hand, certain lifeforms with very poor natural talent and insignificant existences relied on their own hard work, struggles, and various opportunities to strive to advance in the vast universe. In the end, they instead underwent six life transitions and became great planetary lifeforms.

Life was impermanent. Every lifeform, no matter how lacking in natural talent, had infinite possibilities. Although mechanical lifeforms were considered the lifeforms least suited for cultivation, from what Longbetham knew, had not some mechanical lifeforms become planetary lifeforms too?

In fact, it was precisely for that glimmer of hope that Longbetham was willing to go through so much trouble, become the guardian of Bemond’s legacy, and pilot the spaceship to find the fated individual.

Looking at Lin Feng’s slightly confused and even somewhat juvenile face, for the first time, Longbetham felt that Lin Feng might not have relied entirely on luck to reach his current level.

“Lin Feng, what are you still leaving your combat body out for?

Only with Longbetham’s reminder did Lin Feng remember that the combat body could be put away.

Hence, according to the method in the Combat Body Guidance Technique, his massive Combat Body began to shrink rapidly, eventually shrinking to Lin Feng’s original size.

At this size, Lin Feng could still display strength far greater than that of a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. Just his physical strength alone was much stronger than that of ordinary Divine Realm martial artists.

However, that was all. If he wanted to increase his combat strength, he still had to release his combat body. He did not need to release his entire combat body, and could just release part of it.

For example, in the next moment, Lin Feng’s body expanded to five meters in size. His entire body was filled with explosive power, making him feel as if he was omnipotent.

This was the second life transition. According to martial classification, he was now a true Divine Realm martial artist!

In reality, even at only five meters tall, Lin Feng’s power already surpassed demon generals.

As for how strong he could become when he used his full combat body, even Lin Feng himself did not know. However, of all the martial artists he had seen, Lin Feng was confident that he could defeat everyone except Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi, including the renowned Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi among Divine Realm martial artists.

Perhaps Divine Realm martial artists were no longer Lin Feng’s match. As for Meta-divine Realm martial artists or even Sages, Lin Feng would only know after fighting them.
