The venom-covered spear pierced through the demon's hand with ease and became lodged in the horned gauntlet.
The thorn of vengeance!
Demonic power surged on the ground, and the Red-Clad Demon darted through it, its dragon claws reaching for the assassin's head as it met the poisoned spear.
"God!"
Before the attack even got close, cries of mourning were already uttered from the other side's mouth, without even much resistance.
Immediately, the god of wisdom he spoke of seemed to respond to his prayer, showering down a sea of red light from the ocean of thoughts and extending a slender, fleshy tentacle that flickered between reality and illusion.
The fleshy tentacles pierced his body, instantly pulling him out of Lin Feng's palm. At the same time, the dragon claw tore the soul it was holding into several pieces and stuffed them into a huge fleshy embryo that was rapidly growing from the assassin's body.
Whoosh!
A fleshy tentacle emerged from the embryonic sac, grabbed the corpse of another assassin who was already dead, and stuffed it into the humanoid shadow inside the sac.
Lin Feng immediately raised the demonic blade in his hand, focused his highly concentrated will on the center of the embryonic sac, and unleashed all his demonic power to stab it fiercely.
clang!
After a dull thud, the demonic blade stopped in front of the membrane.
The figure behind the membrane moved, slowly extending two twisting spears and raising a pair of indistinct, pure black crystalline eyes that had mutated and merged with the scorpion helmet.
The poisoned spear on his arm protruded forward, its thick shaft visibly absorbing another man's weapon, becoming even larger.
As he tore open the membrane, an Infiltrator as tall as Lin Feng after his transformation into a demon appeared before him, brandishing a poisonous spear.
boom!
A stab that showed no mercy sent Lin Feng flying, crashing through several walls before he collapsed amidst a pile of bricks and stones.
The next second, the other party closed in on him again, raising the poisoned spear high with both hands and stabbing it down fiercely at him.
escape?
plan?
The blow shattered everything in Lin Feng's mind; all the things in his mind seemed to flee from his heart like rapidly flashing images.
Forget about thinking, making choices, or considering interests; when faced with the situation, he had no choice but to either die or give up.
creak...
Two assassins crouched beside the precarious roof above, their cold gazes lingering on Lin Feng's face as he was about to die from the poisoned spear.
Snap!
In the nick of time, a dragon claw reached out and forcibly knocked Lin Feng aside.
The soul that had been stationary suddenly whipped up a series of demonic spikes, transforming them into a wheel of misfortune, which sawed towards the assassin before it.
Bang!
The Wheel of Misfortune was knocked away, and the assassin above appeared in front of Lin Feng, chasing after the figure that had been lifted up by the dragon claw, stabbing out sharp blades.
Poisoned spears pursued, followed by piercing attacks.
The two assassins who arrived at the scene joined the battle at the same time.
boom!
The soul, shaken by the force, experienced waves of dizziness. This attack, which surpassed physical and material forces, increased the pressure on his mind many times over.
At this moment, the dragon claw lifted him high, and the black figure quickly slid a distance, but this time the poison spear appeared at the end of the movement distance as expected, and coincidentally blocked his way.
His intentions were discovered.
The dragon claws that appear repeatedly have a limited range of movement; even if he can dodge them, he cannot escape them.
The next second, Gui Ke opened her dragon claws, changed the direction of her fingers, and flung him upwards.
The assassin, wielding a poisoned spear, soared into the sky and pursued them relentlessly.
Just above him as he flew, the two assassins who had suddenly appeared sneered and raised their twin daggers, bringing them down on him.
kill!
The four met one after the other.
Lin Feng channeled three-quarters of his demonic power to his back, where it enveloped demonic wings and blocked the poisoned spear.
With the remaining power within his body and the chilling glint in his eyes, he relentlessly appeared before the two assassins.
kill!
Kill! Kill!
The three men's minds were in perfect unison at that moment, and their pure killing intent painted a dark red area around them, reflecting the phantom images of three monsters of different shapes.
kill!
The poisoned spears pierced from behind again, but Lin Feng ignored them and rushed to the two people in front of him, using his last strength to lift the demonic hand and grab their bodies.
At that moment, the poisoned spear behind him breached the wings' defenses and pierced his back.
A long sword pierced his chest, but a sudden, sinister shriek interrupted the blade aimed at his head.
The long-lost pain surged wildly within his body, crashing against his murderous mind like a raging torrent, making the monstrous phantom behind him appear even more real.
The next second, the Red Spirit exhaled a chilling aura, and negative states such as fear, mind control, and madness instantly swept over the assassins in front of Lin Feng. At the same time, the dragon claws, poised to strike, pierced their bodies and seized the equally crazed soul.
roar!
The monstrous phantom behind him opened its maw in response to his frenzied thoughts, its killing intent blooming like a flower, merging with the phantom and devouring the assassin's phantom in one gulp.
Boom! A large number of negative thoughts rushed into Lin Feng's mind, turning into a point of light that illuminated his connection with the Sea of Thoughts.
"Seed of the Apostles"
Lin Feng tossed aside the assassin's corpse. Before he could deal with the poisoned spear in his chest, his wound changed. Just like the assassin's transformation, it began to activate on its own, expelling demonic power tainted with poison while leaving a red scar.
Seed of the Apostles...
Lin Feng turned around and saw the poison spear assassins attacking him again from behind. His body was grabbed by the dragon claws and quickly flew into the sky.
Killing intent lingered in his heart. The Seed of the Apostle, which suddenly appeared, was vividly real in his perception. It was a projection of his will on the Sea of Thoughts, a product of his thoughts and actions reflected in the Inner World after his activities in this world these past few days, and finally gathered on the Sea of Thoughts.
It is also a sign of the birth of divinity.
If this continues, he will surely become an apostle of divinity, bearing, proclaiming, and demonstrating the greatness of divinity.
All he needs to do is kill more people, devour the "thoughts" or projections of the enemy's will, accelerate the growth of the Apostle Seed, catalyze the cognition of divinity, and lead humanity toward divinity, so that he can complete a natural immersion and become an "immerser," an apostle of divinity.
Looking at the approaching enemies below, Lin Feng did not engage them in any further combat. He was lifted up by the dragon claw and flew straight into the sky, disappearing into the cover of the night.
Killing legendary figures is the easiest way to complete the immersion. As things stand, he should be able to kill about ten more before his Apostle Seed opens and the immersion is complete.
but...
He now has other options, a more difficult and unknown path.
The seed of thought that Marx spoke of!
After Mar's reminder, he discovered the subtle difference in the original game. There were two different methods of advancement in the original game: the Seed of Will for advancing ordinary legendary characters, and the Seed of Apostle for advancing main characters.
After the main characters are promoted, they will become familiars, while ordinary characters will simply have a special glow emanating from their bodies and will not turn into monsters.
This was supposed to be a gameplay element in a game, but now with the appearance of the Seed of the Apostle, coupled with Mar's casual mention of the Seed of Will, it makes one ponder deeply. Perhaps... the Seed of Will is the true method of advancement for humanity?
Lin Feng landed far away on an empty house, his heart heavy with worry.
Although the direction has been found, the road ahead has become even darker.
It's all about immersion, all about power. An easier and more convenient method is right in front of him: discard the complex and useless human nature, obtain the supreme divinity, and ascend to the altar. Isn't that the goal of the world?
This path to success is harmless to you; it has been sent to you by the gods. All you need to do is obediently walk on it, isn't that enough?
Why bother to think, choose, and try to change the underlying rules? Why not just obediently ascend to the altar and become the next supreme "divine" infiltrator?
