651 Devouring the Essence Blood of a Divine Emperor

“Sacred Stone of Anathema?”

Lin Feng felt a sudden burst of excitement. He stared intently at this very ordinary-looking stone. Lin Feng was all too familiar with the Sacred Stone of Anathema. He could sense that strange aura even with his eyes closed.

That’s right, it must be the Sacred Stone of Anathema!

It was already very rare for anything to excite Lin Feng now. Even new substances, and a large amount of new substances at that, would probably not excite him easily. Only this Sacred Stone of Anathema was an exception. Lin Feng felt such excitement because he knew just how important it was. This was his future!

However, the Sacred Stone of Anathema was enveloped in the essence blood of the Divine Emperor’s heart. It was not that easy to retrieve it. This essence blood contained a huge amount of energy that was “corroding” Lin Feng’s combat body at every moment.

If not for the Law of Life, Lin Feng’s combat body would probably have collapsed long ago.

“What a familiar aura.”

Lin Feng sensed a familiar aura again. He saw one—no, two massive combat bodies. However, these two combat bodies were already riddled with holes, and had even lost their life force.

However, these two auras were very familiar to Lin Feng.

“Divine King Sanyang and Six-Armed Divine King?”

Lin Feng recalled carefully and finally remembered. The owners of these two combat bodies were Divine King Sanyang and Six-Armed Divine King. Although he had only met them once, Lin Feng remembered the auras of the seven Divine Kings very clearly. There was no mistake.

Two dignified Divine Kings had actually died just like that, and were devoured by Divine Heart. How many more Divine Kings had been devoured?

“I can’t allow it to continue. Although the corrosion of a Divine Emperor’s heart is very strong, enough to devour and dissolve the combat body of a Divine King, I have the Law of Life, so I do not fear the corrosive power at all. In fact, the essence blood in a Divine Emperor’s heart is a great tonic for me!”

Lin Feng also made up his mind.

At his current level, Lin Feng had actually reached his limit. It was simply impossible to improve further. Perhaps only Chaotic energy or other more violent energies could improve his combat body.

Otherwise, even some Silent Beasts with combat bodies of dozens of light-years would not be of any help to Lin Feng’s combat body. If Lin Feng wanted to obtain the Sacred Stone of Anathema, he had to enter the core of the Divine Emperor’s heart and be “baptized” by the essence blood of the Divine Emperors’ heart.

That was a power that even Divine Kings could not withstand, but Lin Feng had to go.

Swoosh.

Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He followed the “gravitational force” of the Divine Emperor’s heart and flew directly into the essence blood at the core of the Divine Emperor’s heart. This was the strongest point of the Divine Emperor’s heart. Even a Divine King or even a Divine Venerable would not be able to withstand it once they entered this place. They would be quickly dissolved, and finally turn into a part of the Divine Emperor’s essence blood to enhance the power of the Divine Emperor’s heart.

Lin Feng was no exception. His combat body was indeed very powerful, and the Tidal Combat Body even had extremely strong defense and restorative ability. However, that was only relative to Grand Emperors. It was not even comparable to a Divine King, let alone the essence blood of a Divine Emperor’s heart.

As soon as Lin Feng entered, his combat body melted like ice beneath the sun. He did not even have time to react, and could not resist at all.

Whether he switched to the Tidal Combat Body, the Annihilative Combat Body, or the Void Traversal Combat Body, they were all useless.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had the ultimate Law of Life. The moment his combat body dissolved, it slowly condensed and took shape, before dissolving again. The cycle repeated. Lin Feng did not know how much time had passed. Every time it dissolved, he had to endure that pain.

“Devour!”

Lin Feng also went all out. Since the essence blood of a Divine Emperor’s heart was so powerful that it could instantly dissolve the combat body of a Divine King or even a Divine Venerable, Lin Feng had no reservations. He had the ultimate Law of Life, and was almost undying. He might as well devour the essence blood of the Divine Emperor’s heart.

Unfortunately, currently, Lin Feng’s combat body would be instantly dissolved. How could he “devour” essence blood?

While he could not devour it, Lin Feng also had a way. He could only take another approach. At the moment between his combat body dissolving and the ultimate Law of Life condensing it, he would envelop a drop of essence blood from the Divine Emperor’s heart.

By the time his combat body condensed and took shape, the drop of essence blood was already inside Lin Feng’s combat body.

However, how difficult was it for him to “digest” this drop of essence blood?

Every time, his combat body would be dissolved, and he could not “digest” it at all. However, it did not matter. Lin Feng “devoured” and absorbed with all his might. In any case, he was practically immortal. Apart from enduring pain, there were no other side effects.

Lin Feng’s will had long been honed to an incomparably strong state. Why would he fear pain?

Hence, once, twice, thrice, five times, ten times…

Lin Feng did not know if it was ten or a hundred times. He was already numb. He was condensing the combat body in a frenzy every time. The combat body dissolved and condensed again, absorbing the drop of essence blood from the Divine Emperor’s heart in a frenzy.

Unknowingly, more than half of the drop of essence blood had been absorbed, and was about to disappear. As for Lin Feng’s combat body?

When Lin Feng used his combat body, perhaps even Lin Feng himself did not realize that his combat body had already expanded by so much.

One thousand light-years, 1,200 light-years, 1,400 light-years, 1,600 light-years…

When the drop of essence blood was completely “devoured” by Lin Feng, and he deployed his combat body again. It had actually reached 2,000 light-years, almost doubling!

After the drop of essence blood was devoured, Lin Feng still did not seem to be able to completely resist the power of “corrosion” from the essence blood of the Divine Emperor’s heart. However, he could hold out for a little longer now.

Lin Feng was encouraged by it. It did not matter. He had plenty of time.

Hence, Lin Feng used the ultimate Law of Life to “resist” it again. He was dissolved again and again, condensed again and again, devouring another drop of essence blood in a frenzy.

There were about 28 drops of essence blood in the Divine Emperor’s heart densely packed together. Every drop of essence blood was the essence of the Divine Emperor’s heart.

However, as Lin Feng continued to devour…

One drop, two drops, three drops, four drops, five drops…

Before realizing it, Lin Feng had already devoured five drops of essence blood. His combat body also expanded more and more, from the initial 1,000 light-years to 2,000, then 3,000 light-years.

Although the effect of the essence blood became weaker towards the end, the speed at which Lin Feng devoured the essence blood became faster and faster.

Six drops, seven drops, eight drops, nine drops, ten drops…

After Lin Feng devoured the ten drops of essence blood, his combat body expanded to a terrifying 5,000 light-years. Moreover, his combat body could withstand the effect for an even longer time.

It was not that Lin Feng’s combat body was stronger than the Divine Kings and Divine Venerables, but that due to constantly devouring the essence blood of the Divine Emperor’s heart, Lin Feng’s combat body actually already carried a trace of the aura of the Divine Emperor’s heart while expanding continuously. The attributes of the power of the two were similar, so it had a stronger resistance.

When he devoured all 28 drops of essence blood, the Divine Emperor’s heart would probably die completely, and Divine Heart would naturally die as well.

“Huh?”

It was not that Divine Heart did not notice it. After devouring Lin Feng, he devoured another Divine King called Divine King Giant Axe.

This Divine King Great Axe was really a little difficult to deal with. He was far stronger than Divine King Sanyang and Six-Armed Divine King. Divine Heart also took a long time to finally devour Divine King Great Axe.

However, after devouring him, he realized that not only had his strength not increased and his injuries not recovered, he felt even weaker.

“What’s going on?”

Divine Heart never imagined that Lin Feng was actually devouring the essence blood of the Divine Emperor’s heart, in the deepest part of his heart.

Divine Heart only felt very weak. He slowly focused his mind and began to check the Divine Emperor’s heart.
