58: Sky-Splitting Blade Wing Alien

An unprecedented sense of power filled Lin Feng's limbs, as if he could crush steel with a light grip.

This feeling brought a cold arc to his lips.

Zhang Zhen and the other three stood behind him, not daring to breathe.

They had witnessed firsthand how the pseudo-Transcendent-level Alien Queen had crushed two desperate Gold-level peak magical beasts, and they had also seen Lin Feng's rocket-like leveling speed.

Shock had long turned to numbness, replaced by a deep-seated awe and an indescribable fear—an instinctive submission to absolute power.

"Brother Lin..."

Zhang Zhen's voice was extremely dry. He looked at the two massive bodies that had been parasitized by Facehuggers.

"What... what will they become?"

Lin Feng didn't turn around. His gaze, deep and profound, swept over the Azure Scale Earth Dragon and the Eagle Claw Beastmaster, who had been parasitized by the first Facehugger. His low voice was exceptionally clear in the silent wasteland.

"Soon, you will know."

Time passed in waiting, but the Alien eggs hatched much faster than ordinary magical beasts.

Inside the Azure Scale Earth Dragon and the Eagle Claw Beastmaster, the embryos injected by the Facehuggers were rapidly absorbing the host's remaining life essence and the immense energy of a Gold-level peak, undergoing transformation and reshaping.

The first to show signs of change was the massive corpse of the Eagle Claw Beastmaster.

Its chest, covered in dark-gold feathers, suddenly bulged upwards, as if something was trying to tear through this Gold-level body from within.

The tough flesh and bones emitted an ear-splitting "sizzling" sound, rapidly dissolving and softening under a highly corrosive mucus.

"Pfft!"

A sharp claw, covered in dark-gold, metallic-lustered chitin, suddenly pierced through the chest!

This claw was larger and more elongated than the host's original eagle claws, with sharp bone spurs covering the joints, and the blade-like claws gleamed with a cold light. Its form vaguely resembled the outline of a golden vulture's claw, but it was more ferocious and lethal.

Immediately after, an elongated and powerful head broke free from its confines and emerged.

Its head structure retained the classic streamlined smooth skull and tubular mouth of an Alien, but on either side of the mouth, two razor-sharp, upward-curving dark-gold bone blades extended, like an mutated version of a vulture's iconic hooked beak!

Its compound eyes were not purely jet black, but rather a molten-gold dark-gold, with vertical pupils as sharp as knives, filled with the coldness and arrogance of a sky predator.

Its body fully emerged from the host's corpse and stood up.

It was nearly three meters tall, with a slender and agile physique, appearing lighter than a standard Alien.

Its back was covered in thick, dark-gold chitin, with edges as sharp as blades, and two pairs of folded, massive wing-limbs extended from it, composed of chitinous bones and tough biological membranes!

The structure of the wing-limbs was similar to a vulture's wings, but sturdier, with edges gleaming with a metallic cold light, clearly not just for gliding.

Its limbs were long and powerful, covered in fine, dark-gold scale-like chitin, ending in those iconic, enlarged Alien claws that incorporated the characteristics of the Eagle Claw Beastmaster.

A long, flexible tail trailed behind it. The tip of the tail was not a traditional spear shape, but rather split into three razor-sharp blades that could produce a piercing sound when swung at high speed.

It let out a silent shriek towards the sky, and an invisible mental shockwave spread out, carrying a metallic, abrasive sharpness that caused Zhang Zhen and the others' heads to throb.

The aura emanating from it had reached Gold-level Rank Nine, and it carried a sharp, sky-rending sensation and the oppressive might of a sky overlord.

Lin Feng's thoughts instantly swept over it, and a new stream of information poured into his mind.

【Name: Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien】

【Star Rating: Eight-star (Elite Individual)】

【Strength: Gold-level Rank Nine】

【Status: Active / Absolute Obedience】

【Skill 1: Sky-Ripping Gold Claws (Golden Vulture Gene Enhancement): Both claws possess terrifying strength and sharpness capable of tearing metal, with strong cutting and piercing effects during attacks, and additional destructive power against energy shields. The claw blades can briefly activate a dark-gold glow, extending attack range.】

【Skill 2: Blade-Wing Storm (Golden Vulture Gene Enhancement): Spreads the massive wing-limbs on its back, rotating or slashing at high speed to form a blade storm covering its body, cutting and shredding enemies in close combat. Can also briefly glide for high-speed dive attacks.】

【Special Talent 2: Golden Feather Mimicry (Active): Can transform into a human male form, approximately two meters tall. After transformation, the skin appears an unhealthy dark-gold, eyes have molten-gold vertical pupils, retaining dark-gold short hair (texture as hard as metal wires), and the tips of the ten fingers retain short, sharp dark-gold claw blades that cannot be fully retracted. At the shoulder blade position on the back, there are two unremovable, dark-gold bone ridges resembling folded wings. The aura is restrained, but the sharpness remains.】

The Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien's transformation skill activated, and dark-gold light flowed like mercury over its body.

As the light dissipated, a tall "human" male with sculpted, flowing muscle lines appeared in its place.

His face was stern, his dark-gold short hair stood on end, and his molten-gold vertical pupils showed no emotion.

Most striking were his long hands—seemingly normal, but the nails on all ten fingers were unusually sharp and thick, gleaming with a dark-gold metallic luster, like ten miniature hooked daggers.

When he turned around, two distinct dark-gold protrusions, like folded wing bones, were clearly visible at his shoulder blades.

Zhang Zhen and the others gasped.

This transformation... it was too bizarre!

Just as the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien completed its transformation, the mountain-like corpse of the Azure Scale Earth Dragon underwent an even more violent mutation!

The entire interior of the corpse seemed to have countless giant pythons frantically burrowing and expanding, causing the tough dragon scales and thick hide to bulge high, emitting a dull "thump-thump" sound, like war drums beating.

"Boom!!!"

With a deafening crash, the Azure Scale Earth Dragon's massive abdomen suddenly exploded!

A dark-green, highly corrosive, foul-smelling mucus gushed out like a broken dam, instantly corroding the surrounding ground with sizzling sounds and billowing thick smoke.

A massive, heavy, and oppressive dark shadow slowly rose from the ruptured abdomen!

It was even taller and more robust than the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien, nearly four meters tall, with a physique as burly as a mountain, filled with explosive power.

Its head was enormous, covered in thick, layered chitin resembling dark-green dragon scales. The tubular mouth was thicker than that of a normal Alien, and a faint, eerie green poisonous mist could be seen swirling within as it opened and closed.

Several large, curved bone horns extended backward from either side of its head, similar in form to an Earth Dragon's crown, but even more ferocious.

Its compound eyes were a deep, eerie green, with vertical pupils like cracks in an abyss, exuding a suffocating aura of brutality and virulent poison.

Its body was like a heavy tank covered in dark-green dragon scales, with sharp bone spurs and thick ridges on its heavy chitin, providing astonishing defense.

Along the spine in the center of its back, a row of huge bone plates, like sharp dorsal fins, grew and extended all the way to the base of its incredibly thick tail.

Its tail was extremely thick and astonishingly long, almost half its body length, covered in thick, rhomboid scale-like chitin. The tip was not a spearhead, but a massive, spiky bone hammer!

Its four limbs were short, thick, and powerful, like colossal pillars, covered in heavy plate armor. Its claws were huge and curved, like excavator buckets, capable of easily tearing through the earth.

With every step it took, the ground trembled slightly, leaving deep footprints, and the surrounding ground was even slightly blackened by the corrosive gas emanating from its body.

It raised its massive head and let out a low, deep roar, like rolling thunder, carrying a powerful shockwave and thick corrosive poison gas that instantly pulverized the surrounding gravel and vegetation within tens of meters!

Its aura was so formidable that it had also reached Gold-level Rank Nine...
