Chapter 267 - A Glimmer of Hope
Chapter 267: A Glimmer of Hope
Along the way, the Hoarfrost King saw many robot fragments. It was a mess. He could imagine how brutal the battle was. However, only those robots seemed subject to this “brutality”.
Not a single martial artist’s corpse was left behind on the way. This was too unusual.
Could Lin Feng’s strength really crush everything?
“Lin Feng, the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition, is praised by the Sages. However, even Dongfang Sheng can’t possibly undergo three life transitions and become a Meta-divine martial artist so quickly…”
It was hard for the Hoarfrost King to imagine how Lin Feng could crush everything along the way. If it was really from three life transitions, it would be too terrifying.
Three consecutive life transitions in a year. Even the Nine Sages would probably be shocked by such a pace.
“We’ve arrived at the ruins!”
Suddenly, the Hoarfrost King looked up and saw the ruins in the distance. Outside the ruins, there were many robots, and there were faint fluctuations of intense battle.
“Eh? There are martial artists fighting?”
The Hoarfrost King saw intense battle fluctuations ahead. There were countless robots besieging many martial artists.
Thus, the Hoarfrost King descended.
“Tempest World!”
The Hoarfrost King’s Divine Kingdom was not an icy world, and in fact had nothing to do with ice at all. The Hoarfrost King’s Divine Kingdom was the Tempest Divine Kingdom, filled with terrifyingly destructive storms.
Boom.
As the Tempest World descended, endless storms ripped things apart. Wherever the Tempest World enveloped, all the robots inside were torn apart by the storms.
“It’s the Hoarfrost King!”
“The Hoarfrost King is finally here. Haha, this is our chance. Charge into the ruins!”
“That’s right. the Hoarfrost King is here. Let’s charge into the ruins together.”
Seeing the arrival of the Hoarfrost King, these martial artists’ spirits were all uplifted. They approached the ruins with all their might.
“What are you doing? Retreat quickly!”
The Hoarfrost King roared in anger. What kind of joke was this? His Divine Kingdom had just descended, and they were still some distance away from the ruins. However, he clearly sensed that ten terrifying forces were brewing, and could erupt at any moment.
The Light of Destruction. That was definitely the Light of Destruction!
Previously, the Hoarfrost King had seen the ten beams of Light of Destruction. He had no intention to give that terrifying power a try. Approaching the ruins now was simply suicidal.
Hence, he immediately roared, shocking these martial artists. Then, he opened the way with the Divine Kingdom, and they quickly retreated. Only after retreating for a long distance did the Hoarfrost King stop sensing the threat from the Light of Destruction.
“You still want to charge into the ruins? Do you want to die?”
The Hoarfrost King’s face was dark. It was too rash to charge into the ruins with just nine Divine Realm martial artists and more than a hundred Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
Previously, the military faction had probed so many times and even sent a few Meta-divine Realm martial artists over. However, they all fled in a miserable state. How could they dare to approach the ruins?
If the ten beams of Light of Destruction had really struck the Hoarfrost King, even the Hoarfrost King might not have been able to withstand them. Even if he did not die, he would be severely injured.
“Tell me, where’s Lin Feng?”
The Hoarfrost King wanted to find Lin Feng immediately.
“Lin Feng has already charged into the ruins.”
“He charged into the ruins? Impossible. There’s the Light of Destruction outside the ruins. Even Meta-divine Realm martial artists can’t resist it.”
The Hoarfrost King did not believe that Lin Feng could charge into the ruins at all. After all, he had seen the terrifying power of the Light of Destruction outside the ruins.
“Lin Feng has really entered the ruins, and he withstood ten beams of Light of Destruction…”
The other martial artists also said.
After hearing this, the Hoarfrost King also felt that it did not seem to be false. After all, so many martial artists had witnessed it with their own eyes.
However, he still did not quite believe that Lin Feng could withstand ten beams of Light of Destruction.
This was too incredible. If this was true, perhaps there was hope for this calamity to end.
…
Lin Feng did not know what was going on outside. When he entered the ruins, he realized that it was a mess inside. There were traces of battle everywhere. An extremely intense battle had clearly occurred here.
“Longbetham, can you find the control room?”
Lin Feng asked Longbetham.
“We can find the control room, but we must be careful. This base is a military base. There might be very terrifying weapons of war inside. For example, it is entirely possible for Light of Destruction just now to also appear in the ruins.”
Lin Feng nodded. He had already experienced the power of the Light of Destruction. It was indeed very terrifying, and could even permanently destroy his Tidal Combat Body.
If it were any other Meta-divine Realm martial artist, they would either be dead or severely injured. Perhaps only Sages had the ability to enter the ruins.
Lin Feng followed Longbetham’s guidance and entered a corridor.
Dried blood appeared in the corridor, and even the smell of blood filled the air. Lin Feng’s heart clenched. These people must be martial artists sent by the military faction, who had all died in the ruins.
These martial artists were basically all Metamorphic Realm martial artists. After all, martial artists above the Divine Realm were unable to approach the ruins. Once they approached, they would be attacked by the Light of Destruction.
Broken limbs were everywhere. Lin Feng’s eyes flickered with a trace of coldness.
Perhaps his second brother, Lin Hai, had also died in the ruins, and his corpse might be in pieces.
Lin Feng continued walking forward. Suddenly, a group of robot dogs appeared in front of him. All of them were as huge as lions. Their entire bodies were made of unknown alloy metal, and they emanated a ferocious aura.
As soon as these robot dogs saw Lin Feng, they pounced on him in a frenzy.
Bang.
Lin Feng did not utilize his combat body fully. In such a low-hanging corridor, he could only expand his combat body to over three meters. If it was any taller, it would break through the ceiling above the corridor.
However, even at only three meters tall, the Tidal Combat Body could still deal with merely a few robot dogs with ease. Lin Feng threw a punch, and the robot dogs were smashed into pieces.
These robot dogs were quite strong and agile, comparable to Metamorphic Realm martial artists. If there were too many of them, even Metamorphic Realm martial artists would be surrounded and killed.
This was indeed a military station of the third civilization. Terrifying war machines were everywhere.
“One, two, three… 21!”
Lin Feng counted. There were a total of 21 corpses in the corridor. Moreover, there was a strong scent of blood in front of him. He continued walking forward and realized that the path ahead was densely packed with corpses.
There were dozens of corpses. Lin Feng carefully identified these corpses. According to his previous inquiries at the Brimstone Base, Lin Feng’s second brother had participated in Operation Wall Breaker, and there were more than a hundred martial artists who had participated in Operation Wall Breaker.
Although many corpses had been torn apart, Lin Feng carefully identified them one by one. In the end, he realized that there were more than 80 corpses here, but none of them belonged to his second brother.
There was no body. There were two possibilities. One was that Second Brother’s corpse had been destroyed, and not even ashes were left behind.
This seemed unlikely. After all, there were so many corpses here. There was no reason for Second Brother’s corpse to be turned to ashes and nothing to be left behind.
The second possibility was that his second brother, Lin Hai, might still be alive!
Not finding Second Brother Lin Hai’s corpse now meant that there was still a glimmer of hope, however slim it might be. Lin Feng also became nervous.
