Legend of the Mythological Genes

Fuxi, the son of Suiren, had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a serpent. He would observe the myriad changes in the heavens and earth and was the progenitor of the Eight Trigrams. He could be considered the ancestors of humans and had the title of Heavenly Sovereign…

Some information with regards to the mythological legends of Fuxi flashed through Feng Lin’s mind.

Feng Shaoyou had actually transformed into a transcendent creature that was half-snake and half-human. His lower body was that of a huge serpent and his tail was extremely powerful, capable of generating violent blasts of wind when it lashed out. It was over ten meters in length.

Feng Shaoyou’s figure rose higher and higher, and his head almost touched the ceiling. This sudden transformation of Feng Shaoyou caused Feng Lin to be extremely shocked.

As expected of an elite cultivator. His body had gone through ‘energy-evolution’ and the nature of his life changed, becoming a true transcendent creature that had inhuman traits.

“What do you want to do?” Feng Lin wasn’t afraid. He coldly asked.

“Nothing much. It just seems like you don’t know the true power of a progeny from the Three Sovereigns which led you to make such a foolish choice. Hence, I want you to clearly see the disparity between our strengths. At that time, I believe that you will make the correct choice.” A sinister smile appeared on Feng Shaoyou’s face. His pupils turned into slits and were like a huge serpent surveying its prey. It appeared as if he was preparing to lunge over to devour Feng Lin in a single gulp.

If soft tactics failed, he would use a hard tactic then.

Earlier, he wasted so much time in talking. Ultimately, it was still the matter of whose fist was the stronger one!

Feng Lin was speechless. He wasn’t prepared to interact any further with this man.

He wasn’t an idiot. This Feng Shaoyou was already an elite cultivator and could be considered a transcendent lifeform.

Although Feng Lin wasn’t afraid of him and was strong enough to protect himself, there would be no benefits even if he won.

So since this was the case, why would he waste time to jump levels and fight with Feng Shaoyou?

Cultivation was the foundation. It could allow the innate nature of one’s life to transform and achieve a transcendent state.

If he simply fought just to show off, that would just be a brute with no brains and not a highly evolved intelligent human that was a cultivator.

Feng Lin was very clear of the situation, and he no longer wanted to have any interactions with this Feng Shaoyou.

With a flash of his silhouette, he rapidly sped away.

However, although he wanted to dodge this fight, Feng Shaoyou might not spare him.

“Where are you fleeing to?” Feng Shaoyou felt that Feng Lin feared him. With a shake of his snake tail, he slithered rapidly on the surface of the ground, chasing after Feng Lin. A cold light flickered in his eyes, projecting four bizarre-looking runes.

Earth, Wind, Water, Fire…

Eyes of the Four Elements!

In an instant, four rapid sonic booms rang out.

The wariness in Feng Lin’s heart increased as he hurriedly dodged.

The energy of the four elements was like cannonballs that bombarded through the air, moving with the speed of shooting stars.

Jets of water sprayed out with great impact, and blazing fire incinerated the surroundings brilliantly. On the other side, gusts of ferocious gales manifested, and heavy earthen rocks fell from the sky.

Feng Lin returned to his senses, only to see the four types of energy manifested corporeal forms and floated in the air. This was truly a shocking sight.

This man was able to control four different types of energy. How extraordinary!

His eyes narrowed as he used his senses to probe the four bizarre runes in Feng Shaoyou’s eyes.

What gene was this?

Four Elements Gene?

The supreme origin generated the duality. The duality manifested the four elements, and they, in turn, gave birth to the eight trigrams!

Wrong!

The four elements were referring to the basic nature of the universe. If Feng Shaoyou had awakened the Four Elements Gene, his strength would have been extremely strong and its grade wouldn’t be at the transcendent-grade.

The grade of his genetic abilities didn’t match the power of the Four Elements Gene at all.

From its nature, it was impossible for anyone in the elite cultivator realm to awaken the Four Elements Gene.

What Feng Shaoyou had awakened was definitely another kind of gene that resembled an extremely low-quality Four Elements Gene. This ability allowed him to control power of the four elements which were namely Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, but the level of energy shouldn’t be too high.

Feng Lin discovered that as Feng Shaoyou’s eyes swiveled about, the power of the Four Elements would also change.

Clearly, he was using his eye to control these four different energy types.

Could it be the Four Elements Eye Gene then? Feng Lin couldn’t help but guess.

RUMBLE!

At this moment, Feng Shaoyou clearly wanted to dominate Feng Lin, seeking Feng Lin’s complete submission. He didn’t want to waste words and prefer to resort to direct action.

Rotation of the four elements!

His pupils kept spinning about, resembling a machinery gear.

The floating corporeal forms of the four elements also started rotating. They were then compressed together by a formless powerful might and fused, becoming a black-colored energy ball.

Feng Lin narrowed his eyes as he retreated rapidly.

He had experienced this before at the ranking competition in the Feng Clan earlier. When the various types of energy fused, they would transform into this spheroid shape that was brimming with power.

Also, the black-colored energy ball from the ranking competition was as large as a soccer ball. But now, this one generated by Feng Shaoyou was only the size of a fist. But this wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, Feng Lin felt an unbelievable amount of pressure from it.

This tiny black-colored energy ball radiated an incomparably dangerous aura. Wind and fire rotated within it, and it was a concentrated form of the four elements. Their base natures seemed to have transformed as well after being compressed.

When Feng Shaoyou fused Earth, Wind, Water, Fire together, the fusion generated purple electric sparks that crackled violently, forming and dying in the blink of an eye. These purple electric sparks also gave Feng Lin a huge sense of danger.

Although he had awakened the Stone Monkey Gene and was impervious to fire and water, immune to energy attacks, there was still a limit to his immunity.

These electric sparks generated by the black energy ball evidently had enough power to overload Feng Lin’s energy immunity. This was why he felt such a great danger for them.

After all, this Feng Shaoyou depended on himself to cultivate into an elite cultivator. He had absolute control over his abilities and would naturally research on how to perfect his techniques. He wasn’t something like the artificial titan who didn’t know how to control its full power.

As an elite cultivator, Feng Shaoyou’s vitality stats naturally far surpassed Feng Lin’s opponents in the ranking competition. His control of his strength and abilities were unquestionably perfect.

All these thoughts flashed through Feng Lin’s mind in a split second. Feng Lin continued to evade as he retreated with explosive speed.

The black energy ball suddenly exploded and transformed into a storm of energy that could vaporize everything. A terrifying mushroom-shaped cloud was formed, engulfing Feng Lin instantly.

The wind boosted the firepower. The fire refined the toughness of the rocks, while the water vapor rose up in the air.

At this instant, Feng Lin felt as though he had just taken on the full brunt of an atomic bomb explosion. His entire being felt like it was on the verge of being vaporized.

Despite him having the Stone Monkey Gene, he still felt that this was unbearable. Immense pain and agony wrecked his body as though somebody used millions of needles to pierce him through.

After all, the Stone Monkey Gene was just a variation-grade primeval gene. It might be invincible when compared to genes of the same grade. But if one wanted to jump levels and fight stronger opponents, it would surely be extremely difficult.

For every cultivation realm, the disparity in life force and strength would be extremely great, akin to the distance between heaven and earth. It was not so easy to jump levels.

Feng Lin couldn’t passively defend any longer. He summoned the entirety of his strength and erupted forth with a Sky Flipping Hammer Imprint!

His fists blasted out with immense force, shaking the heavens and earth.

Inside the energy storm, Feng Lin managed to punch a hole through it.

He didn’t hesitate and hurriedly sped away through it.

Bzz~ A sharp sound rang out.

From outside of the energy storm, a thick dark silhouette slammed out with great speed and power.

Feng Lin wasn’t able to dodge in time. He was ruthlessly flung through the air by the impact of a muscular and thick serpent tail. It had been slammed into him at full force.

He then heavily crashed against the incomparably tough alloy walls. After that, he slumped to the ground, but he instantly reacted and stabled his footing, feeling a dull ache in his chest.

What gene was this?

Naga Gene?

Lamia Gene?

…

Feng Lin stared fixedly at Feng Shaoyou’s current form. Human-based upper body and a serpent-based lower body…

His heart suddenly stirred. He might be able to deduce the unique characteristics of the Fuxi mythological path through combat with Feng Shaoyou. And from there on, he might be able to infer the complete genetic tree for the Fuxi mythological path.
