Legend of the Mythological Genes

Ha!

Feng Lin leaped up, doing a somersault in the air. With a single leap, he managed to reach thirty-plus meters in height. His body then flipped 180 degrees as he plummeted down like a shooting star, causing the airflow around him to be distorted.

The return of the great sage was from beyond the topmost clouds, descending to the mortal world.

With a single punch, it felt like the ground below was almost completely shattered.

Po, po, po!

Numerous fiery light rays shot over.

Feng Lin used the formless psyforce to consolidate the water vapor nearby into a mirror-like substance, reflecting the light rays as they dealt heavy damage to the titan.

The Psychokinesis Gene, activated!

This was a type of gene that could allow one to shoot out psyforce, controlling this formless energy to perform telekinesis. It was an extremely bizarre power.

Psyforce originally was something transformed from mental energy. It allowed the formless mental energy to become a substantial manipulative one.

But because of its formless nature, the driving power behind it was extremely weak, and it could at most disturb others. There was no way to truly make it into an effective lethal power that could kill at the user’s will.

In the past, the interstellar cultivator Feng Lin had encountered in the Illusory Martial Pagoda was simply like this. The psyforce of that opponent couldn’t be considered strong.

But it was different for Feng Lin’s case. His Mental Gene had been maxed out and surpassed its limits. Once it transformed into psyforce, it was like the unending gushing forth of tides, capable of shaking the space.

The Stone Monkey Gene plus the power of a mental-type gene, how strong would that be?

Feng Lin’s life force explosively surged up, and he no longer felt the vitality stat suppression of the titan.

So, this titan is only at this level?

The Great Sage Will was a will that denoted courage and fearlessness, as the great sage himself dared to wreak havoc in the heavenly courts and was a complete maverick.

Even for those lofty deities that could control life and fate, the great sage even dared make them dissipate into dust and turn the three realms topsy-turvy.

Titans were simply failures that were ousted from the divine throne by the pantheon of greek gods in their mythology. Why would the great sage fear them?

Feng Lin experienced the Great Sage Will and right now, he was like an incarnation of the great sage himself. Of all the emotions he was feeling, fear wasn’t one of them.

Hei!

Eat my punch!

His body fell from high up in the air. Using the momentum brought on by gravity, he gathered the entirety of his strength in his fists. His fists were now like hammers that could flip the sky as they ruthlessly smashed down.

“Split for me!” The punch force could cause even mountains to crumble, exuding a feeling of suppression.

The titan’s eyes flickered with flames of his anger. He was like the gigantic god in greek mythology that carried the heaven on his back. His body was akin to a heavenly pillar as he punched out as well.

The two fists then collided.

Feng Lin was flung through the air from the impact and had to do many somersaults before he could regain his balance while the titan’s body trembled fiercely.

Feng Lin instantly came to a decision.

Before the 15 meters tall titan, he was as tiny and inconsequential like a bug. But now, their strength was already roughly equivalent.

The Titan Gene was a transcendent gene, allowing the one who awakened it to gain immense might, a steel-like body and the ability to control different energy attacks. There was seemingly no flaws at all; it was strong in every area.

But for every power in the universe, being strong all-roundedly was impossible.

There wasn’t a race in this world that was invincible, and there similarly also wouldn’t be enemies who were invincible. Naturally, going by this logic, there also wouldn’t be a gene that was invincible.

The Titan Gene might be very well-rounded in all aspects, but each of its abilities wasn’t at the peak.

For example, the Stone Monkey Gene was only a primeval-grade gene; one level lower compared to the Titan Gene. However, for the body-strengthening aspect of the Stone Monkey Gene, it was much better than the Titan Gene. For example, the invulnerability to sword and spear, and impervious to fire and water…

If one wanted to talk about body-strengthening, the Stone Monkey Gene wouldn’t be inferior to any genes.

Feng Lin lunged over once again. He depended on his agility and immense strength, and managed to withstand the titan’s attack for a period of time.

“What?” The titan was shocked and angered. It felt that this puny bug before its eyes was now different. In the small body of the bug, he could sense an immense might that would cause people to fear.

And all of this happened in an instant.

In such a short period of time, how did this bug-like existence achieved such an earth-shattering transformation?

Despite the titan being the pinnacle of genetic engineering, it wasn’t able to think things through at all.

But, it was understandable that the titan wasn’t able to think things through.

If comparing the base of their mythological genes, how could the titan be comparable to The Great Sage Equal to Heavens? The titan would just be like a little ant wanting to comprehend the vastness of leviathan and roc.

A light beam shot out from the titan’s single eye, sweeping through the surroundings, causing destruction wherever it passed by.

Feng Lin’s eyes gleamed sharply. His psyforce gushed forth ferociously, twisting the space and manifesting a vortex that swallowed up the light beam. The light beam had no way to injure Feng Lin.

The flames, wind, and lightning were exploding violently…

The titan’s single eye gleamed brightly as he unleashed all of his skills. The various types of energy gushed forth, enveloping Feng Lin.

Feng Lin didn’t evade it. He directly faced this gushing tide-like attack while a cold smile lit up his lips.

The titan was only so powerful?

In the legends, the great sage could fly up to the heavens or enter deep into the ground. He was capable of climbing up mountains of blades or descending into an ocean of fire. He could do anything.

Although the energy storm being unleashed by the titan seemed powerful, the degree of intensity wasn’t that high.

Feng Lin’s Stone Monkey Gene was already maxed out. His ability to be impervious to fire and water had been strengthened immensely. He felt no pressure from the energy attacks at all.

He slowly walked out from the energy storm, completely uninjured, with an expression of waning enthusiasm on his face.

He initially thought that the titan would be a strong foe. However, in truth, it was only strong in appearance but weak in reality.

But then again, this titan was created from genetic engineering, and he didn’t gain his power from cultivating. The way the titan was using its gifts was simply too crude and low-class.

It only knew how to blindly pour out energy, but it had no idea about how the different energy types would complement or contradict each other. Wind and fire could engulf everything. Lightning and fire would rain down from the sky. Wind and thunder could gather into a storm… Regardless of which combination, the fused effects of two energy types would surely be much more superior compared to a single energy type.

Maybe before this, he could just depend on his strength to suppress Feng Lin and seemed invincible. But at this point in time, at a stage where Feng Lin’s vitality stats wasn’t that far from him, the attacking methods of the titan seemed to be extremely inferior.

Monkey Fist!

Feng Lin displayed his movement techniques, agilely evading the attack.

This common Monkey Fist, when unleashed by him, had transformed into something wondrous from rotten. Each of his moves was packed with incredible agility and looked extremely smooth. He abruptly leaped onto the titan’s gigantic body and started running.

The great sage was the ancestor of all apes and monkeys. After comprehending the Great Sage Will, Feng Lin’s understanding of the Monkey Fist had reached an unimaginably profound level. He was now simply like a human-shaped monkey.

Am I really going to go down this path of becoming a monkey…?

For some reason, Feng Lin suddenly felt a sense of grief and indignation, but his movements didn’t slow down.

His punch force was like thunder, aiming for the titan’s armpits, throat, chest…targeting all the vital areas, and explosive sounds rang out upon impact.

The titan’s hands continued smacking around unceasingly, wanting to smash Feng Lin into meat paste.

However, Feng Lin’s movements were incomparably smooth. He was constantly dodging around, darting about as he looked for attacking opportunities.

The titan’s body was like a mountain. Because of his size, this actually gave Feng Lin a chance to display his agility, allowing him to evade many attacks easily as he could move about freely.

The titan’s expression was one of complete rage. He felt that Feng Lin was like a flea that kept jumping about randomly, and he didn’t have any way to catch it.

For a period of time, the two of them were in a deadlock.

But the titan wasn’t stupid. Although it was an artificial creature and didn’t have much combat experiences, his intelligent definitely wasn’t low. He soon realized that if he wanted to deal with Feng Lin, the first thing he must do was to restrict Feng Lin’s movements.

The single eye of the titan flashed with light. Crystals actually started to swiftly form on his skin in massive amounts, resembling a suit of armor.

“What?” Feng Lin couldn’t react in time. Some of the crystalline substance stuck to his body, and in just a few seconds, it covered him entirely, transforming him into an ice statue and rendering him immobile.

He was trying his best to break free.

“You have been caught. Die now!” The titan actually let out a burst of maniacal-sounding laughter. His palm slammed over as his expression turned malevolent, wanting to crush Feng Lin before swallowing him.

Feng Lin struggled to lift his head and saw the titan’s palm which resembled a five-finger mountain approaching him rapidly.

His expression was absent-minded. It felt as though he had seen this scene before, a scene that once filled him with despair!

Feng Lin’s expression then contorted with rage. A baleful aura that was unquenchable by the passage of time rose from the depths of his heart. After that, a snarl of ruthless fury rang out from his mouth.

“Do you think that you are Buddha Lord Tathagata?

Note:

In the stories, the Buddha Lord Tathagata suppressed the Great Sage Equal to Heavens with a single palm, pinning him down under the Five-Finger Mountain.
