91: Extraordinary alien! Destroy the tyrant!

The luxurious sedan glided smoothly and swiftly through the city's neon lights, the vibrant hues outside unable to dispel the gloom in Lin Feng's heart.

He leaned back in the high-quality leather seat, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest.

"Professional Association... Dark Council..."

Lin Feng chewed on these two names, his brow deeply furrowed.

If the Dark Council was truly, as Zhao Tieying said, formed by a group of powerful "The Fallen," then their actions would undoubtedly be without any bottom line.

Once the news of him joining the Professional Association became known to them... the consequences would be unimaginable.

His parents' kind smiles flashed uncontrollably in his mind, and a chilling cold instantly seized his heart.

"I must become stronger!"

Although Zhao Tieying promised that the Professional Association would help protect his parents, Lin Feng still couldn't be completely at ease. Moreover, his impression of the Professional Association wasn't very good. Everything in the Barren World was still vivid in his memory; the so-called promises were merely a means to win him over.

While he was confident that his potential would make the Professional Association protect his parents at all costs, that also meant he would eventually become a pawn of the Professional Association.

Just like Xiong Ba, as the Xiong Family's old ancestor, a pseudo-Transcendent-level Professional, Xiong Ba probably wouldn't believe until his death that the Dark Council would use him as a pawn to test Lin Feng's trump cards.

Thinking of Xiong Ba, Lin Feng immediately calmed down. With a thought, his consciousness sank into the Spirit Beast Space.

As soon as he entered, a heart-pounding aura of destruction rushed towards him!

The aura was heavy, condensed, and domineering, as if it contained the will to reduce all things to nothingness.

Lin Feng's gaze was instantly drawn to the colossal creature in the center of the Spirit Beast Space.

That was the new Alien, just having completed its evolution, born from Xiong Ba's genes!

It was more massive and imposing than all previous Aliens, nearly five meters tall, like a war fortress cast from dark metal.

The exoskeleton covering its entire body was no longer simple chitin, but rather a deep, dark, crystalline membrane that seemed to absorb light.

This new form of carapace had jagged edges, giving off a sense of savage, violent power.

Thick bone spurs extended from all the new Alien's joints, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light.

Most striking were its two massive claws; the blades were not sharp, but rather thick and blunt, yet the tips were surrounded by a visible, constantly annihilating and regenerating dark ripple.

Merely gazing at it made one feel as if their soul would be torn apart by those ripples, reduced to nothingness.

With a thought, the attributes of this new Alien appeared before Lin Feng.

Name: Annihilation Tyrant

Star Rating: Ten-star (Transcendent-level Individual)

Strength: Transcendent-level First Order

Status: Active / Absolute Obedience

Skill 1: Rupture Claw Strike: Condenses Annihilation Power into its claws, launching a destructive heavy blow. The claw strike creates a small "Annihilation Domain" in its range, where material structures will suffer continuous damage.

Skill 2: Tyrant's Stomp: Stomps the ground with unparalleled power, triggering a powerful shockwave and creating a temporary "Annihilation Scorched Earth" on the ground. Enemies stepping into it will continuously suffer corrosive damage from Annihilation Power.

Skill 3: Destructive Roar: Emits a terrifying roar imbued with Annihilation Power, forming a conical shockwave. Targets directly impacted will not only suffer physical shock damage, but their armor, energy defense, and even life essence will receive a subtle, rule-level impact, becoming fragile.

Skill 4: Indestructible Battle Body (Passive): Powerful vitality and an exoskeleton imbued with rule power grant it extremely high physical and energy resistance, as well as decent resistance to poisons and mental attacks. When attacked, Annihilation Power will instinctively erode and partially negate damage.

Skill 5: End Domain: Centered on itself, it releases pure Annihilation Rule Power to create an "End Domain" with a radius of about ten meters (expanding with level increase). Within the domain, space seems to be filled with an invisible will of destruction, gravity is abnormal, light is distorted, and targets will continuously suffer invisible suppression from the domain and erosion from Annihilation Power. Within the domain, all of the Annihilation Tyrant's own attributes receive a significant boost. Maintaining the domain requires continuous consumption of Annihilation energy.

Special Talent 1: Annihilation Touch (Xiong Ba Gene Enhancement): Inherited a trace of Annihilation Rule Power that the host comprehended when touching the threshold of Transcendent-level. Its physical attacks (claw strikes, tail stings, bites) come with a terrifying "annihilation" effect, capable of directly disintegrating material structures and causing difficult-to-recover rule-based damage. It also has extremely strong destructive effects against energy shields, elemental constructs, etc.

Special Talent 2: Transcendent-level Strength (Passive): A special skill combining the host's genes and the Alien's genes, possessing terrifying physical strength far exceeding that of Transcendent-level creatures of the same rank. Bones, muscles, and exoskeleton have all been tempered by Annihilation Power, making them incredibly strong.

Special Talent 3: Shapeshifting (Special): A unique talent inherited from the Alien Queen. It can change its own form to a certain extent, primarily for stealth, disguise, and surprise attacks. This talent consumes energy and cannot perfectly mimic complex targets.

Special Talent 4: Wings of Rules: An ability derived after initially mastering Annihilation Rule Power. It can consume energy to condense shadowy energy wings composed of pure Annihilation Power on its back. Without physical leverage, it can freely soar, hover, and change direction rapidly in the air, moving as if on flat ground. Speed and flexibility increase as rule comprehension deepens.

Energy Conversion: Transcendent-level individuals are beings that have completed life evolution; the power within their bodies will continuously convert into the rule power they command!

Rule Power: Possesses absolute suppressive power over Professionals below the Transcendent-level! It is the most obvious distinction between Transcendent-level and non-Transcendent-level, and the root cause why non-Transcendent-level can never contend with Transcendent-level.

Lin Feng's consciousness fluctuated violently, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart!

"This... this is Transcendent-level First Order?"

He clearly felt the essence of power contained within the new Alien, fundamentally different from Gold-level.

It was not merely an accumulation of energy, but a unique ability that touched upon the rules of world formation... the utterly domineering "Annihilation" power that sought to reduce all things to nothingness!

"Rule Power... the true chasm between Gold-level and Transcendent-level, it turns out, lies here!"

Lin Feng understood instantly.

Below Transcendent-level, each upgrade for a Professional was a quantitative change in the professional energy within their body, while the Transcendent-level was a qualitative change!

From Transcendent-level First Order onwards, professional energy would all convert into Rule Power.

Starting from the Transcendent-level, Professionals' upgrades would require constantly deepening their understanding and application of their own Rule Power!

The trace of 'annihilation' power that Xiong Ba comprehended even at pseudo-Transcendent-level was absorbed and fused by the Facehugger, unexpectedly creating Lin Feng's first true Transcendent-level Alien that awakened Rule Power!

In fact, this Alien became Transcendent-level even earlier than the Alien Queen.

Thinking of the Alien Queen, Lin Feng was filled with curiosity, wondering what Rule Power the pseudo-Transcendent-level Alien Queen commanded.

It was this terrifying "annihilation" rule!

And this power was perfectly inherited and materialized by his Alien!

The "Annihilation Tyrant" before him was simply the ultimate weapon born for destruction!

Every one of its talents, every skill, was built around the core "Annihilation Touch," perfectly integrating pure power with destructive Rule Power.

"Shapeshifting talent... a gift from the Queen's bloodline."

Lin Feng also noticed that special talent, which added a touch of mystery and tactical flexibility to this destructive behemoth.

More importantly, this talent would allow him to leave the Annihilation Tyrant by his parents' side to protect their safety!

Immense surprise dispelled the gloom in his heart, and an unprecedented surge of heroic spirit surged within Lin Feng's chest.

With this terrifying war machine that inherited Xiong Ba's Rule Power, even if his parents truly encountered assassins sent by the Dark Council, they would no longer be without the means to protect themselves.

Before Lin Feng could rejoice for too long, the Alien Queen, who had been guarding him, suddenly issued a warning.

"Master, an unknown creature has appeared beside you!"

Lin Feng was startled by the words, and his consciousness quickly withdrew from the Spirit Beast Space.

Upon seeing Lin Feng 'wake up,' a faint figure quietly materialized.

"Mr. Lin, no need to be nervous."

"We are not enemies, at least... not yet."

"The Dark Council, greets you..."
