Legend of the Mythological Genes

BOOM!

The titan’s body that was akin to a small mountain, collapsed onto the ground, causing intense tremors.

Feng Lin stood at his original location. Fresh blood dripped from his body, and he was like an asura that killed his way out of an ocean of blood. His entire being radiated an extremely baleful aura that caused others to not dare to get close to him.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

The half a meter sphere which sparkled with a deep red color seemed to be forged from crystals. It was like a heart that continued to beat in his hands.

In truth, this was a heart. The titan’s heart!

Feng Lin had plucked out the titan’s heart. This was how he could have delivered a critical attack, bringing about the titan’s death with a single strike.

Lowering his head and staring at the titan’s heart, he could sense the immense amount of energy contained within. It felt like there was an atomic bomb in his hands.

There seemed to be no energy reaction just from looking at it. But once the energy within erupted forth, it had the power to destroy the heavens and earth.

Was this the organ of a transcendent being?

Feng Lin thought of a common knowledge that all cultivators would know. Once a cultivator reached the elite cultivator realm, they would officially begin to step on the path leading to transcendent beings. Their bodies would slowly undergo ‘energy-evolution’.

Also, there was a sequence when the human body underwent this process.

Often, the first organ to finish the energy-evolution process would become the future core of the cultivator’s energy, potential, and talent. In the language of the cultivation world, that organ was named transcendent organ.

Clearly, this titan’s heart was the titan’s transcendent organ. It was an energy core that had provided the titan with its might.

One could say that since Feng Lin had obtained this, it meant that he had obtained the greater part of the titan’s might.

But now, he had just stepped on the pathway of cultivation, and his horizons were still shallow. After probing the heart for half a day, he still had no idea what he could do with this titan’s heart.

This titan’s heart was definitely not an ordinary object. It should have a wide variety of uses to it.

Although he couldn’t use it now, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be able to use it in the future.

For such a wondrous item, there would naturally be many benefits that came along with it. It might even be able to enhance his foundation.

Feng Lin kept it carefully. He would spend more time to slowly decipher its mysteries in the future.

His gaze swept over. This space was now completely silent with corpses everywhere, emitting the stink of fumes.

The people of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had been completely exterminated by him. It was about time for him to leave.

However, Feng Lin was still contemplating. He didn’t leave immediately but started searching carefully around the surroundings instead.

He knew that this place was a mythological ruin left behind by the Immortal Furnace Sect, there might be even more inheritances hidden here.

In any case, there was temporarily no commotion outside. Thus, he would have time to quickly do a search through before the people from Mars Revolutionary Army arrived.

He expended so much effort to come here. If he really left empty-handed, wouldn’t that be extremely unsatisfying? How would anyone be willing to do so?

Feng Lin was naturally no exception as well. He started searching from the periphery of this place, moving at a fast speed and soon completed a circle around the perimeter.

He discovered that this space was circular in shape. It was like the interior of an alloy sphere.

Dang, dang, dang.

Feng Lin’s finger rapped the walls and soon discovered that other than the passageway in here, there seemed to be eight more doors in the surroundings but they were hidden up, covered completely with metal.

Feng Lin sent out his mental energy and to his surprise, he discovered that the boiling lava of Mars’s core lay just outside of these doors. Not only there, but the place he was in, was actually a gigantic spherical object floating in the center of the lava.

This strange spherical object gave Feng Lin a sense of familiarity. It felt like he knew this from somewhere.

Strange, I’ve never been here before. Why would there be a sense of familiarity?

Feng Lin didn’t feel that his sense was wrong. His mental energy and memory abilities were so powerful. It was impossible for him to make a mistake.

Since he had a sense of familiarity. It most probably meant that either he had been here before, or he had seen a similar scene once in the past.

But where had he seen this before?

Feng Lin’s eyes gleamed with an inner fire as he suddenly remembered. Back then when he had used his mental energy to probe the tiny crystal lifeforms of the ancient divine medicine, he had seen a scene from the ancient past.

The scene where he himself was a pill and was being refined and tempered by the fires in the furnace was extremely similar to what he was seeing now.

Pill concoction furnace?

Feng Lin’s heart trembled. This circular space he was in seemed to be within a furnace. Although it was extremely gigantic, the shape was undoubtedly that of a chinese ancient furnace.

In the legends, it’s said that some treasures have the ability to turn smaller or larger at will. Could this really be a furnace?

The possibility is very high!

Although it seemed somewhat incredible, Feng Lin felt that this should be true.

Didn’t the Giant Pharmaceutical Company find the Grandmist Fate Pill in here?

Shouldn’t it be logical that a magic pill could be found inside a pill concoction furnace?

This furnace actually had always been borrowing the fire of Mars’s core to refine things. Most probably, this could also be considered an extremely valuable treasure in the Furnace Immortal Sect.

In that case, why don’t I just take it with me?

Feng Lin’s heart stirred, feeling that his thinking was pretty reasonable.

Out of all the alchemy techniques he had received from the inheritance memory, there was one most basic technique that was used to ‘tame’ a furnace and gain its recognition.

If he was able to depend on this technique to tame this furnace and take it with him, his foundation would definitely be enhanced. Also, his alchemy techniques would no longer be like a Dragon Slaying Art, he would have a use for them.

Since Feng Lin thought about doing this, he didn’t hesitate and immediately tried it out. Both of his hands formed gestures and were like butterflies dancing in the wind, causing those who saw it to fall in a daze.

His mental energy gushed forth, flowing from his gestures and generating formless ripples that entered the furnace. Gradually, it formed a connection to his psyche.

Right now, as long as Feng Lin willed it, he would be able to display the power of this furnace.

It was effective indeed.

Feng Lin felt joy in his heart. He could sense that he was ‘taming’ this furnace at a quick speed.

However, before he could feel too happy, his sharp ears detected footsteps in space above him. More and more footsteps sounded out, and there seemed to be a large group of people entering the laboratory outside this hidden space.

He was currently in the midst of taming the furnace. It was basically impossible for him to evade them.

All of a sudden, the passageway leading to this space was knocked open as a number of soldiers wearing the Mars Revolutionary Army’s uniform surged in.

“They finally find their way here?” Feng Lin didn’t panic. He calmly stared at the soldiers as he formulated a plan.

“Quickly look, the people from the Giant Pharmaceutical Company who escaped are all here!”

“They actually were all killed, who did this?!”

“Look over there! Be careful, there’s still someone who isn’t dead. If he resists, kill him immediately!”

…..

A shout rang out, and those soldiers instantly turned their ray guns toward Feng Lin. As long as Feng Lin made any suspicious movements, his body would soon be riddled with holes from their fire.

A military officer walked to the front. He stared at the corpses around here, the gigantic body of the titan, and Frank’s corpse. A shocked expression could be seen all around his face.

He then cast another glance at Feng Lin who was completely uninjured yet was covered in blood as killing intent flickered in his eyes. He coldly commanded, “Kill him!”

Swish~

The light beams from the ray guns shot through the air, blasting into Feng Lin’s back. Yet for some reason, all the beam attacks dissipated silently.

“What?” Those soldiers exclaimed in shock and confusion.

Feng Lin didn’t move. He only stared at them and coldly spoke, “Let the fires be lit!”

His hands formed more gestures and pointed at a random location, focusing all his mental energies there.

RUMBLE~

The eight doors of the furnace suddenly opened as the boiling lava flooded in. The temperature then soared rapidly as this place became a fiery hell.

Fire, fire, fire…

Flames could be seen being ignited in all directions. This place was completely transformed into an ocean of fire, engulfing those soldiers completely.

Those soldiers didn’t even have time to scream, and they were incinerated by the flames that swiftly reached above a thousand degree celsius. Not even their bones remained.

The lava continued pouring in, also engulfing Feng Lin.

Feng Lin’s figure naturally curled up. His skin glowed with a faint jade-like luster as stone fragments akin to egg shells formed around him protectively.

It was like he had completely reverted back to the time before Sun Wukong was born when Sun Wukong was still inside a stone egg. This stone egg bobbed up and down in the ocean of fire as the surrounding flames continued to refine and temper it, ferreting all impurities from it until it reached a purified state.

The furnace fire tempering the heart monkey!
