Legend of the Mythological Genes-Chapter 516 - Paramount Heart Monkey

Chapter 516 Paramount Heart Monkey

Genetic potential +1,000, +1,800, +2,600…

Countless spirit force gushed toward him crazily like endless tidal waves.

In an instant, Feng Lin felt as if he was drowned by a sea of spirit force. They turned into a tremendous amount of genetic potential.

The Paramount Heart Monkey. Other than being able to use his own idealism power to move the material world, would he also be able to absorb all lives’ spirit force to replenish his own?

It was no wonder!

Feng Lin suddenly recalled a baffling rumor in the myths and legends.

That monkey’s cultivation had been very low. When it returned from the Fangcun Mountain, it hadn’t been able to unravel the mysteries behind life and death, and had its soul taken away by Black and White Impermanence[1]!

However, with how vast the three realms were, none of the many deities in the world had expected that the monkey would get increasingly stronger through battles, starting from creating havoc in hell and tearing up the book of life and deaths. It then continued to overturn the dragon palace, the heavenly palace, toppling over the violet-gold furnace… It remained undefeated until it met Buddha Lord Tathagata, where it was thereafter defeated and suppressed.

The monkey had risen very quickly, possessing a ferocious battle prowess, causing countless deities to fear it.

There was one thing that they were perplexed about. The magnates in the three realms had all gone through millions of years of tough cultivation to reach the place they were at.

How on earth did the monkey rise within such a short period? It had taken merely 100 years to become a battle god-like existence in the three realms. How on earth did it achieve this?

This had always remained a mystery.

However, right now, Feng Lin felt that he might have found out the hidden secret behind it.

The Paramount Heart Monkey was able to absorb all lives’ spirits to strengthen itself!

The stronger the emotions, the greater its battle prowess!

The monkey continued to fight its way through the three realms-heaven, hell, and the mortal world. It remained undefeated, attracting many gazes.

The more it battled, the stronger it got. The more it battled, the more he stood out.

As its battle achievements increased, so did its reputation. It took the three realms by storm, thus naturally absorbed more and more spirit forces. As a result, its battle prowess also increased very quickly!

A stronger battle prowess would mean that it would be able to absorb more spirit force.

And the more spirit force it had, the greater its battle prowess would be!

This formed a perfect cycle.

As long as the monkey continued to win its battles, it would be theoretically unrivaled in terms of its battle prowess, until the point that it became invincible, possessing unparalleled battle prowess.

However, before it really became invincible, it had met Buddha Lord Tathagata, a top-notch existence in the three realms. The monkey had been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain and struck down to the lowest point of its life. From then onward, it was thrown into mediocrity.

On the journey to the west, the Great Sage had been bullied by various demons, toyed around by them.

Suddenly, a brave yet mysterious thought struck Feng Lin.

Although the monkey had been very amazing when it had created havoc in the heavenly palace, had the celestials in the three realms also seen through it?

Which one amongst the many gods in the heavenly palace didn’t have great experiences to be able to cultivate to become a celestial? It might be that they had seen through Sun Wukong’s powerful origin that in the beginning, they had gone up to battle it one by one. Not only had this been ineffective, but it had also aided Sun Wukong to become stronger. Thereafter, they had quickly changed their strategy. Before Sun Wukong had become so strong that he was unstoppable, they had requested help from Buddha Lord Tathagata.

This was like a high-level account encountering a bug. The character was leveling up very quickly and had just reached level 60 when it encountered a level 100 account. Before the character got stronger, it was struck down to an all-time low, completely crushed, and no longer able to rise again.

Genetic potential +12,000!

After figuring this out, Feng Lin felt a wave of heat surging in his body. With the digestion of the mythological knowledge, his genetic potential surged tremendously again.

Unknowingly, he accumulated another free genetic point.

After going through a succession of great battles, his stamina had been depleted by a lot.

Therefore…

Add point!

Feng Lin decisively added the point. The tremendous amount of genetic potential surged toward the Chaotic World Demonic Monkey Gene, causing it to burst out in light that was radiating to all parts of his body.

=======

Name: Feng Lin

Vitality: 536,800

Xiantian Gene: Chaotic World Demonic Monkey Gene X3; Daofruit Gene x2

Houtian Gene: Sun Wukong Gene x10; Cultivation Gene x10

Genetic Potential: 39,000

=======

The adding of the point to his gene allowed him to instantly recover to his optimal status. His vitality broke through 500,000 points!

Next, it was time for him to verify his guess!

Feng Lin continued until he reached the 9,003rd level in the Heaven Reaching Pagoda.

He had just stepped in when an overwhelming number of shouts rang out.

“Now, let us welcome the Spirit Slayer Lin Feng! This time around, he’ll be challenging the boss of the 9,003rd level, Shadowflow Lord, Miyamoto Saburo!…”

As the host bellowed out loudly, the atmosphere became heated up.

“The battle is going to get heated up!”

“This Shadowflow Lord is extremely brutal! There hadn’t been anyone defeated by him who managed to leave in one piece!”

“The Spirit Slayer isn’t to be trifled with either! It’s really rare to see a bloody battle between elite adepts!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill! How can there be no blood in a battle between cultivators?”

The place was heated up, and a series of shouts rang out.

“You are the Spirit Slayer Lin Feng?” A cold and hoarse voice rang out. It was like a cold wind had swept through the entire place, causing everyone to shiver.

Although the voice wasn’t loud, everyone could feel a chill rising in their bodies. All of them fell silent, not daring to kick up a racket.

The owner of the voice couldn’t be seen. He was hidden in the dark.

Feng Lin stood in the center of the arena, glancing around the surroundings. He could vaguely feel a concealed killing intent ready to burst out and had vaguely noticed that an endless stretch of dark shadow was stretching toward him, wanting to encompass him and that it was filled with great killing intent.

That person was like an unparalleled assassin, waiting for an opportunity while looking for Feng Lin’s weak point. Once he discovered that Feng Lin had let his guard down, he would immediately dish a quick attack, instantly killing Feng Lin.

Feng Lin was on his guard, and his eyes radiated with silver light as he quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for that person’s traces.

However, that person still didn’t reveal his face. His traces were extremely elusive.

“If you end up in my hands, you’ll suffer an extremely terrible plight! I’ll use my kunai to slice open your flesh and remove your tendons and bones!…” That person’s tone was extremely low and eerie, like blades that stabbed into one’s heart, performing endless pressure.

“You speak too much crap!” Feng Lin let out a cold laugh and his gaze locked down on the stretch of shadow above his head.

There was extreme darkness there!

Feng Lin used his eyes to detect the traces where the soundwaves were coming from. The origin was right there.

He immediately darted over at the speed of lightning, his lips curled up into a cold smile.

In this realm, did he really think that words would be able to sway one’s heart?

It was too much of a joke!

This instead was a sign that the other party was lacking confidence!

Did he think that he’d be able to remain safe and sound by hiding in the dark?

Feng Lin’s gaze swept out, sending silver light shooting out. Wherever his spirit force scanned, he’d be able to instantly tell what was real and what wasn’t.

An indistinct figure was staying within the darkness like a venomous spider, spouting crap.

At this moment, Feng Lin had already turned into a beam of light, appearing before the figure in the blink of an eye.

“This is bad! I’ve been discovered!” The Shadowflow Lord was taken by surprise and instinctively performed his magical technique.

Shadow Arcane: Shadow Element Thousand Men Slash!

Pffft pffft pffft!

Many black shadows jumped out from the darkness. They were dressed in ninja clothes and covered up completely from top to bottom. They looked like real people, each of them holding katanas and surrounding Feng Lin. All of them attacked, their sharp blades slashing through space consecutively.

The whole place was suddenly filled with human figures that formed an absolute killing formation. They were filled with killing intent, wanting to slash up the person before them into pieces.
