52: Chapter 52 Swallowing a Hundred Million Monsters in One Bite!

On the screen, the gravitational force erupting from the Taotie's mouth grew increasingly terrifying.

At first, it only sucked dry the purple mist in the canyon.

Later on, even boulders weighing hundreds of tons and ancient trees tens of meters thick were uprooted, flying into its massive maw like fallen leaves.

By the end, this gravitational force had become so violent that it could even forcefully drag down the clouds from the sky!

Fortunately, the Taotie's Devour skill came with precise targeting; otherwise, before the enemies were even eaten, Lin Feng's Chaos Territory would likely have been chewed into a giant hole by it first.

Immediately after, the over one hundred million invading monsters that had just stepped into the territory instantly lost gravity, their feet leaving the ground as they floated into mid-air.

Locked tightly by this black hole-like gravitational force, these monsters struggled and screamed madly, yet could only watch helplessly as they slid rapidly toward the Taotie's bloody, gaping maw.

The Taotie was born with control over a portion of spatial laws.

As long as they were covered by its gravitational field, even if the invaders were tens of millions of kilometers away, they would be forcefully dragged to its mouth and swallowed in one bite within ten seconds.

A full one hundred million plus Tier 1 cannon fodder, over thirty million Tier 2 elites, over six hundred thousand Tier 3 lords, and more than two thousand Tier 4 leaders—all were swept into the high sky by this pulling force, like a pot of overturned dumplings, densely crashing into the Taotie's bottomless giant mouth.

It was a pity that the enemies simulated by the grand exam were all virtual data.

Eating so many things could not bring the Taotie even a shred of real combat power growth; at most, it was just satisfying its appetite.

...

Hundreds of millions of creatures were wiped out in an instant, like wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

This scene possessed a visual impact that truly subverted one's worldview.

On the municipal square, tens of thousands of top students collectively fell into a long silence.

It wasn't because they were too shocked to speak, but because these examinees had become completely numb.

That's right.

From the initial shocked exclamations, to the disbelief in the middle, and now to the complete numbness, without a single ripple.

Heaven knows what a heavy psychological shadow Lin Feng had brought to his peers across the country today.

...

Inside the Chaos Territory, the small fry of Tier 4 and below were instantly killed and cleared out by the gravitational storm.

Only Tier 5 Overlord level monsters could barely rely on their own strength to resist this devouring might, clinging tightly to the ground without flying up.

"Ding! Taotie requests to devour a Tier 6 Starry Sky Divine Dragon!" Just then, the system's mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Feng's mind.

"Devour a divine dragon?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. "Aren't the enemies spawned in the grand exam system all just a pile of virtual data?"

"Ding! Hint! This Tier 6 divine dragon is not a holographic illusion, but a cross-dimensional projection!" The system immediately provided the answer.

Lin Feng suddenly realized.

It turned out that once it reached the Tier 6 level, the grand exam system couldn't fabricate it out of thin air and could only forcibly pull a projection of a real divine dragon from the divine domains of other big shots in the real world to serve as a sparring partner.

Since it was a projection, the Taotie could follow this connecting medium and directly drain the real soul of this Tier 6 divine dragon from across space!

However, after figuring this out, Lin Feng was not happy; instead, a layer of cold sweat seeped out on his back.

The Tier 6 divine dragon was a projection borrowed from another divine domain.

In other words, the true owner of this divine dragon was definitely an unoffendable, monstrous titan.

If he let the Taotie suck this precious dragon dry, wouldn't the other party crawl through the network cable afterwards and fight him to the death?

Rashly devouring a totem divine dragon was simply too risky!

Lin Feng sat in his leather chair, hesitating for a full three seconds.

Then, his eyes sharpened, and he decisively issued a divine decree.

"Taotie! I specially authorize you to open your stomach wide and devour any enemy on the field!"

As the saying goes, the bold are stuffed to death, while the timid starve to death.

Who cares which military big shot's precious darling this Tier 6 divine dragon belongs to?

The fat meat had been delivered to his mouth; if he didn't eat it, he would be unworthy of his title as a Chaos Overlord!

The next second, the Taotie's mountain-like massive body instantly disappeared into the abyss canyon.

When it reappeared, it had already teleported to the very front line of the main battlefield.

As an ancient great beast of terror, it was naturally proficient in the art of spatial teleportation.

If it didn't have some ability for spatial folding in its stomach, holding hundreds of millions of monsters would have burst its stomach long ago.

Facing the Azure Dragon, which was tens of thousands of meters long and wrapped in violent thunder, the Taotie not only didn't show any stage fright, but its eyes revealed a strong desire to feed.

If calculated according to the seniority in the "classic of mountains and seas", it was a peer on equal footing with the Azure Dragon's ancestor, Yinglong.

A mere descendant Azure Dragon was not even worth a fart in front of it!

...

Looking at this ferocious beast that had teleported out of thin air and was blocking its face like a great mountain, the Azure Dragon began to become extremely restless.

It circled in the clouds, emitting bursts of clear dragon roars, attempting to use the majesty of a totem to warn the Taotie to retreat.

But it hesitated and dared not launch an attack.

Just then, a hot-headed Tier 5 red giant lizard dragon let out a roar, and in order to show off in front of its boss, it actually took the initiative to launch a charge toward the Taotie.

While flapping its wings and speeding, it continuously shot out high-temperature fire pillars of several thousand degrees from its mouth.

If this red giant lizard were placed in Western fantasy novels on Earth, it would definitely be a world-destroying, cataclysmic BOSS.

However, the Taotie just opened its mouth nonchalantly.

This massive red giant lizard, along with the sky-filling fire pillars it spat out, was like a small candy bean, sucked into the Taotie's abyss-like giant mouth in one bite, without even a burp.

Seeing its little brother die tragically, the Tier 6 Azure Dragon hovering in mid-air became even more terrified.

It suddenly curled up its massive dragon body, lowered its high-held dragon head, and actually retreated uncontrollably for several hundred meters in mid-air!

A high and mighty Tier 6 divine dragon, facing a Tier 5 Taotie, actually displayed complete and utter fear in front of the entire alliance!

Once this scene appeared, the billions of viewers of the Great Xia Alliance were completely dumbfounded.

Is this still the faith totem that our Great Xia Alliance is proud of?

Is this the invincible-at-the-same-tier that textbooks have boasted about for hundreds of years?

You, a dignified Great Xia totem, are you serious about that step back?

Why would a Tier 6 sacred totem behave so humbly and cowardly when facing an unknown monster that is one tier lower than itself?

At this moment, the faith in the hearts of countless citizens of the Great Xia Alliance shattered like glass.

...

Facing the sudden collapse of faith, not only were ordinary citizens unable to accept it, but even several power giants at the highest level of the Imperial Capital were completely shocked.

Great Xia Alliance Imperial Capital.

In a top-secret base buried deep underground at the Supreme Military and Political Command Headquarters, an old man with a full head of silver hair and an imposing manner sat upright on a large sofa, staring motionless at the live broadcast of Lin Feng on the holographic screen.

Surrounding the silver-haired old man were several top deities wearing military uniforms, whose aura was terrifying enough to crush the void.

In this secret base, there wasn't even a single security guard responsible for safety.

Because looking across the entire planet, there was simply no one qualified to harm the several great beings sitting here.

"Elder Long, this top-secret file has been clarified." A middle-aged man in a crisp suit, holding a paper document in his hand, walked quickly to the front of the silver-haired old man.

If one were to scan him with detection instruments, they would discover that this middle-aged man running errands to deliver files was actually a Tier 7 Deity capable of guarding a region!

The silver-haired old man raised his hand slightly.

The middle-aged man immediately opened the file and reported loudly.

"Lin Feng, male, eighteen years old, an ordinary resident of Xinghai City. Both parents were vanguard non-commissioned officers of the Xinghai Garrison's expeditionary force, who went missing four years ago while performing a mission deep in the Outer Realm Battlefield; the military has preliminarily judged them as having died in action."

"Personal resume: Attended Xinghai City Sixth Elementary School from age six to fifteen, and attended the City First High School Special Training Class from fifteen to eighteen. Basic theory grades topped the charts all year round, but after awakening his divine domain in his first year of high school, he was unable to cultivate any species for two whole years..."

The middle-aged man paused obviously when reading to this point, as if he had encountered some incredible data.

"According to terminal records, it was only three months before the grand exam that Lin Feng first created living kin in his territory."

Three months before the grand exam... and he only just created his first kin?

The atmosphere in the top-secret conference room suddenly became extremely weird with this bizarre file.

"Only three months of time..." The silver-haired old man furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze like a torch.

"Could it be that a deep genetic mutation with a one-in-ten-million probability occurred?"

Cases of kin genetic mutation had indeed occurred several times in the history of the alliance.

Low-level trash of Tier 1, due to contamination by special laws, could undergo atavism in just a few days and evolve into powerful Tier 5 Overlords.

Lin Feng's situation was very likely that he had stumbled upon such heaven-defying luck.

"Elder Long, how should we in the military handle this kid?" The middle-aged man closed the file and respectfully asked for instructions.

"I heard that Xiao Yan went to Xinghai City these past few days and has already pre-selected this kid into our Imperial Capital United Front Zone. Let's observe him in secret for a while first."

The silver-haired old man was silent for a moment, his tone becoming incomparably solemn.

"Regardless of whether it is a genetic mutation or some other fortuitous encounter, this child is definitely a peerless monster that our Great Xia Alliance hasn't seen in a thousand years."

"Pass on my order: the Imperial military must exhaust all resources to cultivate him!"

"Our Great Xia Alliance hasn't birthed a new True God in hundreds of years." The silver-haired old man, honored as Elder Long, sighed deeply.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the top big shots in the conference room stood in awe, even their breathing softening.

A True God!

A sacred realm that could only be ascended to by surpassing the limit of a Tier 9 Deity and breaking the shackles of the Main World's laws of heaven and earth!

For hundreds of years, countless brilliant and talented prodigies had died on the road to challenge it, none spared.

Elder Long's words were by no means spoken casually.

It was enough to prove that in the eyes of this old monster, Lin Feng truly possessed the terrifying potential to challenge the throne of a True God!
