257: origin

Seeing Lin Tianwei return again, the Cosmic Beast felt its beastly self go numb.

Although Lin Tianwei had shown similar abilities before, the Cosmic Beast believed that since he had already fled in disgrace, it was impossible for him to return.

Returning to face its own powerful and unmatchable self? Fleeing was the best option for him to preserve his life.

Yet, it never expected that he would return to the battlefield immediately, as if he had no fear of it whatsoever.

No fear of its powerful self? That was impossible!

However, this impossible thing, as the Cosmic Beast saw it, was truly happening before its eyes, giving it a feeling that its dignity had been violated.

It didn't know how ridiculous its so-called dignity appeared in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

A fool whose head had already been pulverized by him dared to speak of dignity in front of him?

Then he would let it see who the true king was.

Without hesitation, under the powerful water control ability, Lin Tianwei's body didn't even need to exert force to approach the Cosmic Beast at an extremely fast speed.

Although the Cosmic Beast was powerful, it ultimately didn't possess a similar Talent.

Moreover, it wasn't an aquatic creature by nature.

Although it had gained some aquatic organs after Hei Sha died at Lin Tianwei's hands, in order not to affect its combat power, it could barely breathe in water.

Facing Lin Tianwei's attack, this time, it had nowhere to hide.

Soon, Lin Tianwei pressed close to it again, locking them together once more in an aggressive posture.

Through the golden light representing the origin, Lin Tianwei saw the Cosmic Beast's head rapidly recovering.

It had to be said that the origin was truly an incredibly miraculous thing.

Even such terrifying injuries could heal quickly.

However, the time given to the Cosmic Beast was still too short.

There were still four huge craters on its head that hadn't healed.

Those were the fatal injuries caused by Lin Tianwei's four large tusks.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei's Giant Maw opened again.

This time, he planned to repeat the same trick.

He would continue to attack the Cosmic Beast using the same method.

Under the effect of the Sharp Teeth Talent, although Lin Tianwei had just performed the Toothless Technique, his teeth still grew out at an extremely fast speed.

Although the newly grown teeth appeared more tender, their sharpness was not inferior in the slightest.

Flashing with cold light, he bit down towards the Cosmic Beast's head.

Those four huge holes were the best breakthroughs, enough for Lin Tianwei to penetrate the Cosmic Beast's body with the least amount of force.

Facing Lin Tianwei's rapidly extending Giant Maw, a glint flashed in the Cosmic Beast's eyes, and it roared in anger:

"Naive, you are truly too naive."

"Do you really think I would fall for the same trick a second time?"

"You insidious and cunning ant!"

Facing Lin Tianwei's attack, the Cosmic Beast also had a countermeasure this time.

Or rather, if it hadn't been too careless and overconfident in its defenses the first time, it wouldn't have fallen for Lin Tianwei's trick at all.

Who could have known that Lin Tianwei's seemingly ordinary Tigers Might contained such terrifying power?

Neck like a nimble snake!

Just as Lin Tianwei's attack was about to hit the Cosmic Beast, this terrifying Cosmic Beast also unleashed its true strength at the most crucial moment.

Similar to Lin Tianwei's previous Transformation Talent, the Cosmic Beast changed its body structure at the critical moment.

Then, at an extremely fast speed, taking advantage of Lin Tianwei's failed attack, it launched a counterattack against him.

Looking at Lin Tianwei's Tigers Might, which was within arm's reach, a hint of triumph flashed in the Cosmic Beast's heart.

This was called using one's own methods against them.

Cunning ant, even if your head is bitten off, you don't have the ability to continue living like us.

Looking at the head so close, the Cosmic Beast even felt it could smell the alluring scent of flesh and blood from Lin Tianwei's head.

Biting down and crushing it completely, turning it into food to swallow in one gulp—that would definitely be a different kind of taste.

The refreshed Cosmic Beast seemed even happier than defeating a powerful opponent.

It truly hated Lin Tianwei, who had made it suffer endless setbacks.

Facing the gaping maw that was about to bite him, Lin Tianwei remained calm, with no trace of panic in his severe expression.

It seemed as if this situation was entirely within his expectations.

Talent: Needle Tail (Extraordinary)!

Lin Tianwei's slender Tigers Might transformed into a weapon, fiercely stabbing towards the Cosmic Beast's body.

Under the enhancement of various Talents, Lin Tianwei actually moved later but arrived first, striking the Cosmic Beast's body with his Tigers Might.

The powerful Needle Tail, like a meteor from the sky, instantly struck the Cosmic Beast's body.

Although the Cosmic Beast's scales had very high defense, it was impossible for them to withstand Lin Tianwei's focused blow.

Precision-guided, one-hit kill!

Lin Tianwei's attack instantly broke through the Cosmic Beast's scales and pierced into its flesh and blood.

However, this was not Lin Tianwei's main attack.

The terrifying venom contained in the Tigers Might was Lin Tianwei's method of dealing with the enemy.

Under the compression of his muscles, the Tigers Might acted like a syringe, injecting the long-accumulated venom into the Cosmic Beast's body.

Talent: Teleportation (Extraordinary)!

The more critical the moment, the more it was a life-and-death struggle where not a single loss could be afforded.

Lin Tianwei, who still had three Avatars, naturally wanted to make good use of them to achieve greater results.

It had to be said, Space-type abilities were extremely useful.

This Teleportation not only allowed Lin Tianwei to avoid the Cosmic Beast's fatal attack but also allowed him to return to the farm and resupply a little.

Most importantly, the moment Lin Tianwei returned to the farm, he actually felt a golden light directly injecting into his body.

Origin?

Where did this Origin come from?

Why would he also acquire Origin?

Lin Tianwei was not a fool; how could he ignore the Origin freely floating everywhere?

After all, this was a precious resource that even the Cosmic Beast coveted.

However, the ethereal thing called Origin didn't seem to be ownerless.

Although Lin Tianwei wanted to intercept it, he found that he couldn't acquire any Origin at all.

It was as if these Origins had already been marked by the Cosmic Beast and did not belong to him at all.

It was this situation that made Lin Tianwei directly give up on acquiring the Origin.

Yet, he didn't expect to have such an unexpected pleasant surprise upon returning to the farm this time.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei began to replenish food while also starting to investigate the source of the Origin.

Barioss?

It was him?

Lin Tianwei looked at Barioss, who was busy nearby, with some surprise.

This person had once provided him with magical power, which had enhanced his Mental Power attribute.

Yet, he never expected that at this moment, he would provide him with the power of Origin.

It was a pity that although Lin Tianwei had acquired new power, he didn't know how to use it and couldn't utilize it at all.

He could only let the power of Origin gather deep in his mind, hoping it could play its role at a critical moment.

Talent: Teleportation (Extraordinary)!

Lin Tianwei didn't have much time; this time, it only took him five seconds to feel the dissipation of Avatar number three.

It was clear that this time, the Cosmic Beast must have been enraged to the extreme.

Sure enough, when Lin Tianwei reappeared in the Antarctic Sea, what he saw was the furious Cosmic Beast.

It had been confident that its 'return the favor' tactic would work, but it hadn't expected to encounter the even more cunning Lin Tianwei.

Ultimately, not only did it fail to cause any harm to Lin Tianwei, but it was also successfully ambushed by Lin Tianwei, and a large amount of toxins were injected into its body.

These toxins were Lin Tianwei's long-accumulated power.

Even the Cosmic Beast was not feeling well.

What's more, it was like a chain reaction.

The toxins Lin Tianwei injected into the Cosmic Beast's body also triggered the annihilation virus remaining in the Cosmic Beast's body.

The two combined, wreaking havoc within the Cosmic Beast's body and causing terrible damage to it.

The golden light gradually spreading throughout its body was the best proof.

That was the Cosmic Beast using its Origin to alleviate its injuries.

Looking at Lin Tianwei, who had returned, this time, there was no surprise in the Cosmic Beast's eyes.

There was only deep hatred.

This damned tiger kept jumping back and forth, returning to its presence again.

But it had no way to deal with him.

Perhaps...

Perhaps it should invest more heavily.

Thinking of this, the Cosmic Beast's body burst into a brilliant golden light.

This time, it actually took the initiative to attack Lin Tianwei.

The Cosmic Beast's speed was very fast, or perhaps Lin Tianwei simply had no intention of dodging.

The two collided solidly again.

At the moment of impact, a huge force erupted, shaking the entire body of water uncontrollably.

Not only that, the Cosmic Beast and Lin Tianwei's limbs were tightly entangled with each other's bodies.

The Cosmic Beast snorted coldly: "This time, you damned ant, you absolutely cannot escape."

"I will let you know what true irresistibility means."

A huge force erupted.

This time, the Cosmic Beast actually unleashed even greater power than before.

The burning of its Origin injected terrifying power into its massive body.

With the 'Embrace Tiger and Kill' technique, it intended to crush Lin Tianwei's body into pieces alive.

Not only that, the Cosmic Beast opened its gaping maw again, revealing its jagged teeth.

It bit fiercely at Lin Tianwei.

Accompanying it was the single horn on the Cosmic Beast's forehead.

It was not a mere decoration.

Its sharpness was even more exaggerated than the Cosmic Beast's teeth, capable of easily piercing through any enemy that stood in its way.

Lin Tianwei never expected that he would encounter such a terrifying Awakening as soon as he arrived here.

Teleportation?

In Lin Tianwei's perception, he had completely lost contact with the outside world.

Clearly, the Cosmic Beast had completely shielded this space to prevent him from repeating his trick.

In this battle, unless one side died first, the spatial blockade would absolutely not be lifted.

There could only ever be one victor!

Facing such a desperate situation, a hint of madness flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

It had finally come to this point.

The moment he had to stake everything and fight to the death.

Without the slightest intention of defending, Lin Tianwei allowed the Cosmic Beast to attack his body.

His only movable Tigers Might and head became weapons, beginning the final decisive battle with the Cosmic Beast.

Although his body was restrained, under the effect of the Avatar of Myriad Forms Talent, Lin Tianwei actually had a very large operational space.

Even if his body was suppressed by the Cosmic Beast, he could still unleash his power to his heart's content.

His body twisted strangely again.

However, this time Lin Tianwei chose not to defend but to attack.

His Tigers Might opened to an exaggerated degree again, seemingly capable of devouring everything completely, as Lin Tianwei quickly bit towards the Cosmic Beast.

Crunch... Almost at the same time, the Cosmic Beast's teeth and horn hit Lin Tianwei's head.

And Lin Tianwei's teeth bit fiercely into the Cosmic Beast's neck.

This time, it was a mutual destruction.

Almost without any hesitation, both sides began to exert force, tearing at each other's bodies with their powerful teeth.

The Cosmic Beast's eyes were also filled with madness.

That was the joy of impending victory.

He didn't believe that this massive tiger in front of him could possess the same terrifying power as himself.

The ability to repair its own brain through Origin.

Once he bit off its head, that would be the moment of his victory.

As for its neck?

Biting off its head wasn't even fatal, let alone its neck.

How foolish must the opponent be to do such a stupid thing?

However, the moment the Cosmic Beast bit into Lin Tianwei's head, its expression immediately changed.

No, something was wrong.

Completely different from the expected crisp crunch, the Cosmic Beast only felt as if it had bitten into a puddle of mud.

This was definitely not the feel a head should have.

Sure enough, in its perception, it found that Lin Tianwei's head had actually become like dough that could be kneaded at will.

Such a bizarre form was a great enemy to physical attacks.

The Cosmic Beast's seemingly terrifying attack simply couldn't cause much damage to Lin Tianwei.

On the other hand, Lin Tianwei...

The moment his head was bitten off, his teeth also bit into the Cosmic Beast's neck.

With a crisp snap, the Cosmic Beast's supporting neck was instantly bitten off by Lin Tianwei.

In just an instant, it fell into the awkward predicament of having its head separated from its body.

Talent: Avatar of Myriad Forms (Extraordinary)!

This extraordinary Talent concealed terrifying power, finally erupting with its supreme strength at this most crucial moment.

It allowed Lin Tianwei to defy the heavens, defeat the strong with the weak, and bite off the Cosmic Beast's neck.

Taking advantage of the Cosmic Beast's momentary daze, Lin Tianwei's body, which had been restrained by the Cosmic Beast, twisted even more strangely.

How could Lin Tianwei, possessing the Avatar of Myriad Forms Talent, be so easily restrained?

Everything, everything was merely Lin Tianwei's deception.

Like an unspeakable entity, Lin Tianwei's body twisted bizarrely, separating from the gaps between the Cosmic Beast's palms, and re-condensing Lin Tianwei's body on the other side.

Lin Tianwei's body, completely unharmed! (End of Chapter)
