"You should die!" Seeing that he almost got the gemstone yet something blocked him at the last moment, the Killer King was completely enraged as he howled in anger."You actually dared to return and seize my treasure? Brat, you are dead for sure. No one will be able to save you!"
When he heard the howl of rage, Feng Lin didn't cower. He actually laughed out loud."Why wouldn't I dare to return? Anyone can hunt the aberration queen. The Asura Heart is also a product of nature, and it doesn't belong to you."
In the icy darkness of the universe, how could there be rules of fairness?
The weak were merely food for the strong!
Strength was everything!
Did this Killer King who massacred countless people truly think that Feng Lin would be frightened of him just because of his reputation?
How ridiculous!
No matter what the method was, as long as it could strengthen oneself, that would be a good method.
Feng Lin wouldn't feel any trepidation when he acted.
This Asura Heart could increase the chances of one's breakthrough. No one would want to miss out on it.
Feng Lin's strike sent the Killer King flying away. He turned and immediately shot toward the humanoid queen who seemed to be on the verge of death.
Seeing that Feng Lin was about to succeed. The Killer King's eyes flashed. He grabbed out with his claw, unleashing his attack.
Asura Great Capture!
The red-colored baleful aura formed a pair of gigantic hands in the air as they stretched out. It looked like a giant wanting to grab an ant and crush it to death.
The gigantic hands enveloped the surroundings. Even the air was frozen solid from the might they radiated.
This power level was already at the grand cultivator realm, over 20% of the Killer King's body had been 'transcendized', allowing him to control the power of heaven and earth. This level of might surpassed the imaginations, allowing him to unleash great power with the wave of a hand.
Feng Lin felt that the space around him was locked down by the giant palms. They exerted heavy pressure, wanting to crush him into pieces and rendering him immobile.
"I have to break that Blood Sea Altar first or I won't be able to win." Feng Lin silently mused.
The disparity of one great cultivation realm was simply too large.
With the augmentation of the Blood See Altar, the Killer King had transformed into an Asura King. His vitality stat broke past the 1, 000 marks, and the vitality pressure made it hard for Feng Lin to resist.
The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the disparity in strength would be. It was almost like the difference between heaven and earth; such a gap was almost impossible to cross.
Feng Lin felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain wanting to crush him.
Transform!
His heart stirred and he no longer resisted forcefully. His body rapidly turned small as he reached the size of a child about one meter tall. His body then spun around like a gyro.
As the two palms pressed together, he narrowly avoided them by a hair's distance as he slipped out.
Transform again!
After breaking out from his predicament, Feng Lin's form grew and become a giant about five meters tall. The cudgel in his hand expanded to over 20 meters, becoming an iron pillar. He lifted it and swung it with the force of ten thousand catties, smashing it down.
"What?"
When the Killer King saw that Feng Lin had escaped his grasp, he didn't even have the time to be shocked as the iron pillar could already be seen slamming toward him. His countenance drastically changed, "DAMN!"
But everything was already too late!
Feng Lin didn't retreat but advanced instead. His Heart Monkey Force gushed forth, reinforcing his strike and increasing his power.
As the metal cudgel slammed out, sonic booms echoed through the sky as it ruthlessly smashed upon the Blood Sea Altar that was built using the flesh, blood, and bones of the dead.
The formation shuddered; blood-colored rays were emitted, forming a layer of protection. However, this was just a supportive-type formation, and its might wouldn't be too spectacular.
As the giant cudgel smashed down, the altar instantly shattered. The bones, flesh, and blood crumbled apart.
"NO!" The Killer King roared. His sturdy frame instantly seemed to resemble a leaking balloon as he rapidly shrank. The blood-colored light seeped out of his body and his aura dwindled.
Since the altar had been shattered, his body became as thin as a skeleton due to the backlash. His cultivation base also slipped from the grand cultivator realm to the paragon-phase of the elite cultivator realm, grand completion-phase, late-phase... his power fell continuously.
"DIE!" The Killer King's heart was filled with hatred for Feng Lin. Boundless killing intent flooded out as he took on a unique yoga posture.
Destroy!
As the word of truth was spoken, a formless destructive wave rapidly extended outward, wanting to destroy everything completely.
Bzz~
Feng Lin's Heart Monkey Force surged up, forming a cloudy barrier and blocking the area before him.
The powerful wave of destruction slammed into the barrier, shattering it. Moreover, the remnant forces continued blasting toward Feng Lin's arms. At this moment, stone-like cracks actually appeared on his skin.
Although he was wounded and he felt pain, Feng Lin didn't grimace. There was a look of contemplation on his face instead.
Before this, although the Killer King's might had towered up the sky, the Blood Sea Altar had always been his weakness.
Feng Lin wasn't wrong on this point.
If it was before, Feng Lin could definitely not to block the Killer King's attack head-on. But now, although he was wounded, these were merely external wounds; they weren't able to cause him internal injuries.
RUMBLE!~
Feng Lin's spirit force blasted out, causing the stones in the area to rise in the air as they shot toward the Killer King, delaying his approach.
After that, he continued on his way toward the aberration queen.
The queen was now in the state of rapid recovery since the Killer King was no longer pressuring her. Her aura grew increasingly stronger.
Upon seeing Feng Lin's ruthless attacks, she screamed, forming a storm with her spirit force that blasted over, wanting to tear Feng Lin's mind into shreds.
The center of Feng Lin's brows flashed as his Heart Monkey Force gushed out. It contained a tyrannical and lawless baleful qi.
The Heart Monkey Force was considered the evolved form of spirit force. Its quality was higher, and the baleful qi that manifested was even more intense. Everywhere it passed by, all things withered. The storm of spirit force created by the queen was forced to dissipate. Under the backlash, the queen clutched her head and screamed in misery.
Feng Lin hastened his steps forward.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
If the humanoid queen wasn't on the verge of dying after being battered so badly by the Killer King, Feng Lin would never have a chance to kill her.
Since her life was on the verge of being taken, the aberration queen naturally wanted to resist. The bone blades on her arms slashed out toward Feng Lin.
Feng Lin punched out a single fist that glowed with a jade-like luster, concentrating his Heart Monkey Force on it. The power of his fist grew incomparably terrifying as he smashed down with it.
Kacha!
Feng Lin slammed his fist into the queen's chest, shattering the layer of armor there, causing her chest to sink in.
"DAMN! Put down the queen!" Donghuang Ling and the remaining students appeared again. Upon seeing their prey about to be snatched, all of them were completely infuriated. It felt like their wives were being snatched by a nameless stranger. All of them surrounded Feng Lin, preparing to attack.
"Scram!" Feng Lin roared. His spirit force blasted out, manifesting a surge of wild wind that blew toward the exam candidates.
BOOM!
The golden bell chimed as sound waves were emitted in defense.
Frigid Ice!
Black-colored icy water flowed out like rivers, capable of freezing everything.
Wrath King!
A young monk's body shone with golden light as he transformed, radiating a fiery energy that could burn all lives in existence.
...
With the queen in his hand, Feng Lin instantly became the target of a multitude of arrows. Everyone was ganging up on him.
With him at the center, an intense battle erupted because everyone joined in.
To the exam candidates, other than the Asura Heart, the humanoid queen was something they definitely must obtain. As long as they had it, their points would far surpass their peers, and they would be able to become the King of the Solar System. No one would be willing to give this up.
The pressure on Feng Lin greatly increased.
"Help me block them. After this matter concludes, I will give each of you a medium-scale queen's thumb!" Feng Lin's spirit force gushed out as he sent a voice transmission to the two sisters.
Seeing that Feng Lin only lacked a single step to success, the Greek sisters also saw an opportunity. They instantly agreed.
"Tyrant Aura Battle Statue!" Aris radiated tyrant aura and a 30 meters tall giant wielding a long spear appeared. It rushed out toward the exam candidates.
The exam candidates couldn't evade in time and were all sent flying.
Chi!
The gazes of everyone turned over as their expressions changed drastically.
In that space of a few seconds, Feng Lin's hand took on the stance of a saber and directly sliced into the queen's body, digging the Asura Heart out. A formless fluctuation manifested around his right hand, and the corpse of the queen and Asura Heart were kept inside his pill concoction furnace.
"Go!" Feng Lin roared. Now that he had received the greatest benefits, if he didn't leave now, when would he leave?
The three of them cooperated seamlessly. The sisters didn't hesitate as well when they rushed toward the exit.
"Fleeing? Where can you all flee to?"
"Stealing our points and treasures and you think you can leave safely?"
...
Two cold snorts could be heard. After that, the Killer King and Donghuang Ling rushed over as sinister looks could be seen on their faces.
The prey that was about to fall in their hands was snatched by another. When had they ever felt such humiliation before?
The other students also respectively gathered, surrounding the three of them as their eyes flashed with malicious light.
"If you are smart, hurry up and hand over the treasures, or you would find it hard to escape even if you have wings!"
"Hand over all your points now!"
"Don't even think about fleeing!"
...
The others were also cursing. They were looking at Feng Lin's group as if they were dead men.
Feng Lin didn't bother. He spoke in a low voice to the sisters, "After we exit, we should split up and leave."
Yana nodded. She understood that they had already become the targets of everyone. If they left together and got surrounded outside, they would never be able to flee.
"How should we leave?" Staring at the wolves and tigers around them, Aris nervously asked.
"Attack with full force, cover me for a while!" Feng Lin decisively spoke.
The two sisters could only believe in Feng Lin.
Aris's tyrant aura gushed forth as the battle statue transformed once more, reaching a size of over 100 meters in height. It was fully clad in a set of armor, and its features grew clearer.
Rumble~
The arms of the battle statue were like mountains as they issued punches to all four directions, causing the ground to crack. In the mother nest, the surroundings trembled as rocks fell from the ceiling.
Yana's eyes gleamed with a golden light as a scepter appeared in her hand. She waved the scepter, producing sounds that would influence the minds of people.
Ding, ding, ding!
Boom, boom, boom!
The golden bell in Donghuang Ling's hands also produced its own sound waves. The two sounds clashed with each other in the air, their power causing the space to warp.
All the others frenziedly attacked; their energy formed into torrents that caused cracks to appear on the battle statue.
However, the sisters had already bought enough time for Feng Lin.
The metal cudgel in Feng Lin's hand expanded, transforming into a huge pillar that broke apart the ceiling.
The sea water instantly flooded in, creating chaos in the mother nest.
"Go!" Feng Lin grabbed the two sisters as he flew up in the air, flying through the hole in the ceiling.
"Where can you run to?" Seeing that the three were escaping, the Killer King coldly shouted and postured his body in the shape of the sanskrit word 'disperse'.
BOOM!
Aris screamed in pain as her battle statue exploded into pieces. Without its protection, Feng Lin's group of three was completely exposed to the attacks of the crowd.
Feng Lin shouted as a layer of jade-like luster covered him. He forcefully took on the attacks, protecting the sisters. Blood seeped from his mouth as he increased his speed, borrowing the momentum from the attacks and instantly leaving the others behind.
Hua~
Three figures broke the water's surface and flew into the air.
Transform!
Feng Lin pointed his finger at the sisters, cloaking them in the appearances of male humans.
"From now on, our cooperation is at an end. Let's split up. The Killer King already has his sights on me. If we stick together, you both will be in danger." Feng Lin didn't waste any more time and directly turned around and left after speaking.
The Greek sisters stood where they were and stared at his leaving back. They then sighed but didn't try to hold him back.
Because they understood that in such a dangerous situation, they wouldn't be able to provide any help to Feng Lin. Even if they went with him, they would only be burdens and would harm him instead.
The two sisters then dove into the sea and began swimming away silently in another direction.
After some time, the Killer King broke the water's surface and appeared in the air. He saw Feng Lin's figure in the distance and roared.
"ARGH!"
A moment later, the area was covered in darkness. A giant monster resembling a winged dragon was actually summoned. Its wingspan was at least 20 meters long.
"Chase!" The Killer King leaped on its back and speedily pursued.
Donghuang Ling and the other exam candidates appeared after that. Sadly, they didn't have the ability to fly and could only howl in fury, completely helpless to do anything.
Hua, hua, hua~
The intense sounds of wings flapping rang out.
Feng Lin turned his head and saw the Killer King mounting the winged dragon and chasing after him. Although the dragon's speed wasn't faster than his Cloudsoar ability, the dragon's endurance was definitely superior to his.
The Killer King's killing intent locked onto Feng Lin, not giving him any chance to escape.
The two of them then fell into a chase, with the Killer King pursuing while Feng Lin fleeing. This lasted for a long period of time.
"Brat, I want to see where you can flee to. Flying must be a genetic ability you unlocked. How long can you use that ability for? The moment you stopped would be the moment of your tragic death!" The Killer King coldly laughed, viewing Feng Lin as his prey.
Feng Lin didn't bother to reply, but his heart sank after he heard the words.
The Killer King was right.
Cloudsoar's speed might be fast, but given the fact that he was utilizing its maximum speed now, he could at most sustain this for three hours.
Once his Heart Monkey Force was exhausted, the Killer King would easily catch up with him. At that time, he wouldn't have any chances left.
Since he wouldn't be able to escape, why didn't he fight instead?
Ever since he had snatched the queen and Asura Heart, he had already been prepared for this.
Feng Lin's gaze swept toward the distance. He saw a mountain peak and decided to descend.
"Not fleeing anymore?" The Killer King laughed malevolently and continued his pursuit.
"Brat, why are you not running anymore? How dare you steal my treasures. You will definitely die today." His eyes narrowed into slits as he stared fixedly at Feng Lin. A glint of cruelness could be seen in his eyes; it was like he was about to stomp a pitiful bug to its death.
Feng Lin was as calm as ever."Fleeing? Why should I flee? Now that there are no other disturbances, we can finally clash head-on in a battle!"
"You want to fight me?" The Killer King was taken aback. But at the next moment, it was like he just heard the funniest joke in the world, and he laughed uproariously.
Feng Lin calmly looked at him, allowing him to laugh as much as he wanted to.
The Killer King smiled sinisterly."The ignorants are fearless. Moreover, you actually dare to provoke me. Do you know why my title is the Ultimate Killer King? Among all the martial arts in the universe, all of them can be countered. Only what exists in the heart cannot be broken. I've given you the clue to the true meaning behind my title."
"Killing people means..."
"Killing their hearts!"
