83: Chapter 83 Time Stands Still! Eighth-Order Demonic Insects Become Food!

Seeing the 8th-Order fire-element source core with their own eyes, Zhao Tianao and Wu Ke, who had originally intended to flee, were so excited that their eyes turned completely red!

This was a genuine, top-tier 8th-Order core!

And it was the most fundamental fire element! This thing was absolutely the lifeline for ascending to an 8th-Order God!

In the face of such immense greed, the two men instantly stopped their flight.

"Get up there for me! Seize that crystal back!"

"Hurry up! Disobeyers die!"

The two men roared hysterically at their remaining troops.

Since their true divine bodies could not enter the fray directly, they had no choice but to force their subordinates to go to their deaths.

The army of monsters under their command looked at one another; no one was willing to turn back and confront this 8th-Order Death Demon Worm.

But under the forced command of their creators, this bunch of cannon fodder had no choice but to bite the bullet, turn around, and charge toward the center of the ruins, attempting to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

Amidst the violent earthquake, low-tier monsters fell into the earth's fissures in droves, dying on the spot.

The high-tier leaders were turned directly into the Death Demon Worm's meal.

In just a few minutes, the two had lost more than half of their assets. But as long as they could get their hands on this 8th-Order core, no matter how many troops died, it would be a guaranteed profit.

Just at the life-or-death moment when the remnant army was about to touch the core.

From above the firmament, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly drifted down.

"Divine Privilege, Time Stop."

Lin Feng's voice was like a divine decree, instantly enveloping the entire ruin.

In the blink of an eye, the operational laws of the entire world were completely frozen!

Except for the Zhulong, everything in the city came to an abrupt halt.

The churning ground stopped shaking, and the flying debris hung suspended in mid-air.

Zhao Tianao and his companion's army froze in place, and even this 8th-Order Death Demon Worm remained in the posture of opening its blood-thirsty maw, turning completely into a statue.

"Taotie, it's your turn to work."

Lin Feng decisively issued his divine oracle.

In fact, from the very beginning, he had secretly positioned this glutton at the edge of the main city.

It was just that everyone had been busy scavenging for treasures and hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Upon receiving the order, the Taotie, which had long been waiting impatiently, resembled a mobile black fortress, crashing through the high-rise buildings along its path and biting down on the Death Demon Worm's tail.

The Taotie's stomach contained its own interdimensional space.

Even if a 9th-Order behemoth fell inside, it wouldn't even think about climbing out again.

Immediately after, the Taotie, like slurping noodles, pulled the demon worm out of the ground bit by bit, swallowing it whole segment by segment.

At the same time, the Zhulong in mid-air was not idle either; it reached out its dragon claw and grabbed the 8th-Order fire-element core.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 8th-Order fire-element source core (x1)!"

The system's notification sound rang in his ears.

Very soon, the one minute of absolute stasis ended completely.

The 8th-Order Death Demon Worm suddenly jolted awake, only to discover that more than half of its body had already been swallowed.

Sensing a very real threat of death, the behemoth began to struggle desperately!

Its massive body, hundreds of thousands of meters long, rolled back and forth in the ruins, churning the entire city into dust.

Now, Zhao Tianao and Wu Ke were having the worst luck imaginable, and their subordinates suffered countless casualties as they were crushed.

The two were so angry they almost vomited blood.

They had wanted to scheme against Lin Feng, but instead, they were played like monkeys by him; it was truly a case of losing the lady and the army.

In extreme pain, the demon worm suddenly turned its head and spat a stream of thick, green destructive acid at the Taotie.

"Divine Privilege! Immunity to All Evil!"

Lin Feng decisively played his defensive trump card.

This was an 8th-Order monster's death throes; he absolutely could not be overconfident.

A layer of dazzling holy light firmly protected the Taotie's entire body, and the acid fell onto the light shield without causing any damage.

In less than a few minutes.

The entire 8th-Order Death Demon Worm was completely swallowed into the Taotie's stomach.

"Ding! Taotie has successfully digested the 8th-Order Death Demon Worm and is preparing to evolve!"

"Ding! The current plane has lost its core energy and high-tier biological support and is accelerating its collapse!"

Two system notification sounds rang out in succession.

This Tier 7 continent, having lost its core, was being crazily torn apart by the endless void.

"Must retreat quickly!"

Lin Feng's heart tightened; he immediately recalled his divine beasts and quickly severed the physical connection.

"Relocking coordinates: [ X98551, Y98441 ]!"

The positioning pod operated at full power, taking the Chaos Territory and fleeing back inside the Alliance's air defense network at maximum speed.

In contrast, Zhao Tianao and the others were miserable.

Their main forces were all buried in the ruins, suffering heavy casualties.

After losing the energy core, the divine domain boundary was crazily torn by the void turbulence.

The previously ten-plus million square kilometer Tier 7 continent plummeted, finally shrinking into a 4th-Order wasteland of three to four million square kilometers.

When the collapse stopped, the few men, covered in dust and dirt, disconnected and crawled out after pushing open the cabin doors.

Zhao Tianao's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed in front of Lin Feng like a crazed wild dog.

"Lin Feng! You are simply courting death!"

He was trembling with rage, making no effort to hide the killing intent in his eyes.

The other two men also surrounded him, their faces full of anger.

"Hmm?"

Lin Feng found it amusing, "What? Not convinced?"

The other party hadn't even made a move, and Zhao Tianao couldn't find any excuse to cause trouble.

But he truly couldn't swallow this insult, and he was even more jealous of the top-tier crystal in Lin Feng's pocket.

"Hand over all the elemental crystals immediately!"

Zhao Tianao threatened sternly, "Otherwise, based on the influence of our Zhao Consortium in the Imperial Capital, we will absolutely make it impossible for you to take a single step!"

These three guys, relying on being fourth-year seniors and having the backing of a super consortium, started playing shameless tricks.

If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have chickened out long ago.

Unfortunately, the person standing in front of them was Lin Feng.

"I won't hand it over; what can you do to me?" Lin Feng sneered.

"What can I do?" Zhao Tianao was exasperated, "Stop talking nonsense with him! Beat him up and he'll behave!"

That blockhead Zhou Rui, blinded by rage, swung his fist directly at Lin Feng's face.

As a result, Lin Feng didn't even look at him properly and casually slapped him away.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound.

Zhou Rui flew backward like a deflating ball, flying over ten meters away before slamming hard onto the ground.

"Wait! My cultivation!"

Just at this moment, Zhao Tianao gasped sharply.

He discovered in horror that his previous Tier 6 cultivation had actually dropped to Tier 4!

"My... my god-tier actually dropped!"

Immediately after, Wu Ke also reacted.

Because the plane damage was too severe, these few people collectively suffered a terrifying backlash.

Once a god-tier drops, wanting to recover is as difficult as ascending to heaven; they are basically crippled for life.

Having suffered a double blow, Zhao Tianao completely broke down.

After throwing out a harsh threat, he took the other two and snuck out of the Plane Hall, looking dejected.

"The Zhao Consortium, huh..." Lin Feng chuckled.

As long as one's fists are hard enough, who dares to come looking for trouble?

He didn't even put the enemy nation's army in his eyes, let alone a mere consortium?

...

By the time he left the Plane Hall, the sky was already pitch black.

This trip today was truly a massive haul.

On the way back to the dormitory, he happened to run into Gu Ze, who was just finishing class.

This kid had been in school classes all day.

Upon meeting, feeling the terrifying pressure of a Tier 6 Deity from Lin Feng, Gu Ze was so shocked he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Others were still worrying about graduation in their fourth year, yet this guy had become a Tier 6 powerhouse just after enrolling.

The gap between people is sometimes even larger than the gap between people and dogs.

Back in the villa area.

Number 1226 next door was pitch black.

He heard that Tang You had returned to Xinghai City due to an emergency at home.

Relying on Lin Feng's exclusive endorsement, Tang Family Trading could be said to be making money hand over fist recently, with branches opened across half the Alliance, showing signs of potentially overshadowing the Zhao Consortium.

However, Lin Feng didn't care about these business operations at all.

Only ascending to the throne of a True God and creating a Main World was his only ultimate goal.

Ever since he learned that True Gods existed above this world, a sense of pressure had been hanging over Lin Feng's heart.

Only by becoming a True God could he truly master his own fate.

After taking a shower, Lin Feng lay comfortably on the sofa and opened the system panel.

[Inventory: One heart of the ocean resource card, one Tier 6 earth-element core, one Tier 7 metal-element core, one Tier 7 water-element core, one Tier 7 earth-element core, one 8th-Order fire-element core.]

One plane war, and he had directly reaped five top-tier source cores!

Every single one was a priceless treasure; they absolutely could not be wasted.

The Tier 6 earth-element core could just be left for Pixiu; the attributes were a perfect match.

As for the remaining three Tier 7 cores, if used to upgrade species, they could certainly make the divine beasts instantly jump up a major rank.

But Lin Feng didn't plan to do that.

He needed these materials himself to ascend to a Tier 7 Deity; they absolutely could not be used casually.

As for this 8th-Order fire-element core, it had to be kept well as a divine trump card.

After finishing the inventory, Lin Feng cast his divine sense into the Chaos Territory.

Having just experienced a cross-plane war, the low-tier cannon fodder in his territory had suffered many casualties, but this was of no consequence. The underlying ecosystem would repair itself.

Lin Feng locked his gaze on the Taotie hidden deep within the fog.

Having successively swallowed the Tier 7 Diamond Giant Scorpion and the 8th-Order Death Demon Worm, this bottomless pit had finally accumulated enough foundation to evolve.

At this moment, the aura on its body was extremely manic.

"This is the Master's grace."

Lin Feng gathered a giant face in the firmament and descended the last wisp of chaos purple qi.

"Many thanks for the Master's generous gift!"

The Taotie inhaled the chaos purple qi in one gulp, and its aura began to climb step by step.

Upon evolving to Tier 7, its size actually ushered in another explosive growth.

Lin Feng was very curious; he didn't know just how exaggeratedly large this peerless great beast would grow this time.
