Chapter 443 - 221: Integrating the Orange Membrane Wings and Glimpsing Tier Four Life

Chapter 443: Chapter 221: Integrating the Orange Membrane Wings and Glimpsing Tier Four Life

He had once seen, within the sealed genetic memories of the Mother Empress, the Zerg Race’s highly advanced biotechnology from ages past. This included biological battleships capable of flying into space.

Perhaps right now, they were hovering in satellite orbit, observing the expansion and invasion of the High-tier Mother Empresses across the globe.

With this in mind, Lin Feng beat his twice-awakened Membrane Wings and began to fly straight up.

As he flew higher and higher, climbing from over ten kilometers to more than forty, the surrounding temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees. In the thin air of the mesosphere, the darkness was boundless.

The air density here was already too low to provide sufficient lift.

Without a specialized jet engine, it was impossible to ascend further on the lift generated by flapping wings alone.

’It seems the Zerg Race’s flapping-wing design has its flaws, too. It’s only suited for high altitudes below forty kilometers from the ground.’

’If I could just fly up to the thermosphere at eighty kilometers, then cross the Kármán line at one hundred kilometers, I could leave the atmosphere and officially enter outer space.’

Lin Feng tilted his head back, gazing with a hint of regret at the azure halo on the distant horizon.

He could even see the afterglow of the Sun behind him.

The transition from day to night was happening right before his eyes.

Seeing the magnificent, spectacular view of the firmament with his own eyes for the first time, an indescribable, wondrous feeling washed over him.

’This is completely different from the starry sky seen from the ground.’

The Moon was no longer a distant, silver disc in the sky, but a colossal celestial body reflecting the Sun’s light. Its dark side concealed countless secrets, just like the myriads of worlds represented by the innumerable stars in the brilliant cosmos overhead.

There was no Zerg Race fleet as Lin Feng had guessed, only a silent, tranquil river of stars.

’If I can’t advance to Tier Four and become a Cosmic Life, I’ll be trapped on this planet for my entire life, able only to gaze at this vast river of stars and sigh at my own powerlessness.’

For the first time, Lin Feng felt a new motivation to advance to Tier Four. Beyond saving himself and human civilization, there was now an urgent desire to travel to these myriad worlds and witness the true Cosmos.

’Perhaps for the past ten billion years, countless races, after evolving to Tier Three, have all been striving toward the goal of roaming the Cosmos. Wave after wave of them have tirelessly forged ahead, searching for the path to advance to a Tier Four Cosmic Life!’

Just as Lin Feng was lost in a moment of profound reflection...

Suddenly, a pitch-black silhouette appeared in his field of vision, high above him in the distance, directly obscuring a good part of the Moon.

The mysterious silhouette was over ten kilometers wide and oval-shaped. Its thickness was impossible to discern. Attached to the edge of the shadow was an unidentified, two-kilometer-long, silvery mechanical object.

The silvery object reflected the moonlight, and he could feel occasional pulses of Energy emanating from it. Lin Feng estimated that it must be a large interstellar Battleship...

’In that case, the identity of the massive shadow, over ten kilometers wide...’

’...was obvious!’

As Lin Feng stared, stunned, a long list of red-glowing warnings flashed in his vision the moment he processed what he was seeing:

[Unknown Tier Four Life Form detected!]

[Warning: Please leave this area immediately!]

[Warning: Please leave this area immediately!!]

[Warning: Please leave this area immediately!!!]

The warnings were blocking his view, so Lin Feng blinked, dismissing the alerts flashed by the Upgrade System...

But when the red text vanished and he focused his eyes again, the giant black shadow that had been floating hundreds of kilometers away just a moment before had vanished without a trace in less than a tenth of a second!

In that instant, a sense of inexplicable dread and intense crisis flooded Lin Feng’s mind!

He felt as if he had been locked in place by some form of invisible Spiritual Energy, completely unable to move.

It was just like the time he had been enveloped by the Hive Will Domain...

It wasn’t until this sense of crisis activated his Mental Realms like Particle Control, Genetic Radiation, and Bloodthirsty Frenzy, along with their derivative Skills, that Lin Feng was able to break free from the paralysis!

Then, without looking back, he dove straight for the planet’s surface!

As he fled for his life, Lin Feng had a powerful premonition that if he dared to look back even once, that terrifying, unknown Tier Four Life Form...

...would devour him instantly!

Aided by his upgraded Flight Mode and the pull of Blue Star’s gravity, Lin Feng’s speed skyrocketed to Mach four!

He fled straight for the surface at his maximum speed of 1,300 meters per second!
