Chapter 82 Metamorphosis

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were crimson blood, a pungent smell, and rising and falling shouts of killing.
The surroundings were too familiar. Lin Feng had woken up, broken through the dark cage, and broken the shackles. He had broken the genetic lock, and woken up!

However, Lin Feng could not move after waking up, because he was still undergoing metamorphosis. His body had suffered severe injuries, and his bones had all shattered. There was not a single spot of undamaged
flesh on his body.

Even with his extraordinary restorative ability, he could not recover from such an injury.

However, it was different now. Lin Feng was undergoing a metamorphosis. What was a metamorphosis? It was a rebirth, a transition of life, the restructuring of genes, and the blossoming of the most miraculous life
force!

Lin Feng felt as if he was immersed in his mother’s womb. His entire body felt warm. He could clearly sense that the cells in his body were dying, being reborn, dying again, and being reborn again.
From then on, the cells constantly divided, and constantly died, eventually forming a new cell after repeated tempering.

Another miraculous power surged out of his cells with a tingly feeling. Wherever the miraculous power passed, Lin Feng’s injuries recovered at a visible speed.

ot only was he recovering, even the cells in his body were constantly dividing and regenerating. Lin Feng’s entire body was rapidly being remade.

What Lin Feng was most concerned about was his strange illness. In the past, when he found his own consciousness, he could actually feel that countless cells were constantly weakening in his body, and his life force
was draining away. At that speed, he wouldn’t even be able to survive past a year.

But now, what did he feel?

The previous feeling of life force gradually draining and cells gradually failing was gone. Instead, he was filled with “vitality”. He could clearly feel that a vast amount of life force was gradually brewing in his body.

Life force was everything. Whether it was illness or injuries, as long as there was life force, nothing was a problem. Now, Lin Feng was still slowly metamorphosing. The metamorphosis had not ended, yet he already
had such considerable life force. What would happen at the end of the metamorphosis?

Actually, Lin Feng had a faint guess in his heart as well. Normally, a martial artist’s metamorphosis was only the metamorphosis of their own genes. As for him? He had fused four types of dire beast genes. The genes of
every dire beast were not inferior to his own genes. What was this equivalent to? This was equivalent to five times of his own genes undergoing metamorphosis, and his natural life force would also be more than five
times that of an ordinary martial artist.

His strange illness was cured, just like that. Lin Feng felt his entire body relax, and even his spirit relaxed. The strange illness had always been pressing down on him like a huge rock.
No matter what Lin Feng did and no matter when, he was always very tired and could not shake off his burden.
Now, the strange illness had finally been completely cured by genetic restructuring. There was no more burden or baggage, only the joy brought by the metamorphosis of the body and the transition of life.

When a martial artist broke the genetic lock, their body would undergo a metamorphosis for a period of time. It could take as long as two or three months, or as short as ten days to half a month. Theoretically speaking,
the longer the metamorphosis took, the deeper the martial artist’s accumulation it signified, and the more benefits they would obtain.

Typically, it took two or three months to complete the metamorphosis. Once the metamorphosis was completed, one would be considered the cream of the crop among inhuman experts. However, there were actually
not many such martial artists.

It was impossible for Lin Feng to complete the metamorphosis process immediately, but since he was beginning to undergo metamorphosis, his body was metamorphosing at every moment. Strands of power began to
be born continuously from within his metamorphic body.

No one noticed Lin Feng, because everyone’s attention was focused on Chief Commander Long Duo. Long Duo was currently facing the siege of the six demons, so he was in a precarious situation as well.
Thump.

Another demon’s tentacle struck Long Duo hard, ripping a wound on him. His physique had improved substantially after he broke the genetic lock, and his ordinary injuries could also recover quickly.

However, he was surrounded by six demons of the same level. A casual attack from every demon contained more than 200 tons of strength.

Even being brushed by it had serious consequences. Long Duo had already endured many hits due to his powerful physique, but he did not possess the characteristics of immortality like those demons after all.
As his injuries became more and more severe, his attacks gradually weakened. Long Duo, who was like a god of war, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and was even in mortal danger.

Everyone was anxious. They all knew Long Duo’s importance. He had almost become the spiritual symbol of this battle in Dragonlith City. If even Long Duo died, what hope would there be for Dragonlith City?

Moreover, only more than eight hours had passed. There was still a long way to go before the 10 hours were up. Once Long Duo died, who could still contend against these demons?

Dragonlith City would probably become a living hell immediately. By then, even if the Invincible Fist Sage rushed here, he would probably have to face millions of dire beasts.
Such a scene was terrifying to imagine.
Therefore, Long Duo must not die!

Even though countless were praying, and countless were looking forward to a miracle, a miracle never came. Long Duo could not hold out anymore. Even though inhuman experts had endurance that far exceeded that
of ordinary people, he had already held out for so long against the six demons, and he could no longer hold out now.

Bang.

Long Duo was smashed into the ground by more than 10 tentacles. Dust filled the air. Even though Long Duo had leaped out again, anyone could see that he was already at his limit.

As far as the eye could see, there were dire beasts everywhere. As for human martial artists, they were almost nowhere to be seen.

Of the thousands of martial artists, how many were there left? 200 or 300?

Long Duo’s heart ached for it. These were the elites of Dragon Mountain Base, and the elites of the Myriad Academy! One or even more inhuman experts could have emerged among them in the future.
But now?

“Last time…”

Long Duo sucked in a deep breath. He would have to self-destruct, too. Even if he died, he could not let these demons have it easy. Eight of his companions had already self-destructed one after another. Even if he
wanted to hold out for a while longer, there was no more time.

He did not want to be devoured by these demons. Apart from being parasites, these demons were also Predators. Once they devoured the corpses of inhuman experts, there was no knowing how strong they would
become.

This was also why the eight inhuman experts all chose to self-destruct. None of them wanted to leave their corpses to these demons. Now, Long Duo was about to follow in their footsteps.
He had made up his mind to self-destruct. When people were about to die, they would always remember their regrets in life. It might be a thought, or perhaps a memory.
He wondered what the others would remember before they died, but on the verge of his death, Long Duo remembered a little fellow. A little fellow that even he found regrettable.

“It’s a pity. If the little fellow wasn’t dead, perhaps he could have broken…”

Long Duo shook his head. He glanced into the distance. A familiar figure appeared in his line of sight, but it made his heart skip a beat..
