Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 697 Nothing more than that
In the oppressive and heavy atmosphere, the moment their eyes met, Baruch suddenly stomped on the ground, his figure appearing in front of Lin Feng like a cannonball. He stretched his right hand back, and a green longsword appeared out of thin air, which he held in his palm.

The moment the long sword was swung forward, ripples appeared in the air, causing it to distort.

Lin Feng's gaze lingered on the green knife.

Without using any martial arts techniques or soul skills, a casual slash could distort space; this power could only be possessed by a soul weapon.

Soul Weapons are the Martial Emperor's primary means of attack and the key to his ability to transform into elements.

Purple arcs of electricity crackled beneath Lin Feng's feet, his body trembled slightly, and he vanished from his spot, reappearing in mid-air. Baruch took a step in the void with his right foot, and his body seemed to teleport, strangely appearing on Lin Feng's path.

Before Lin Feng could fully regain his footing, a piercing sonic boom exploded overhead.

"So fast!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly. As expected of a Martial Emperor, his physical movement speed was faster than his own martial arts techniques.

Lin Feng neither looked up nor dodged, partly because he was too late, but also because he sensed that the space within a two-meter diameter radius around him was imprisoned.

This binding force isn't particularly strong, but it definitely affects mobility.

This must be a special effect of the Horcrux.

As his body transformed into a blue cloud, the green longsword cleaved Lin Feng in two from top to bottom, but no blood splattered.

Although he was not injured after using the [Transformation] soul skill, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly. He could feel a mysterious energy seeping into his body from the green longsword.

This made his muscles slightly stiff.

"Is this also an effect of Horcruxes?"

Lin Feng slightly opened his mouth, and bubbles floated out, quickly transforming into dragonfish that flew in all directions.

"Certainly!"

Baruch roared, and as he roared, Lin Feng's body suddenly sank, and in the next moment, he disappeared from the spot. An explosion rang out, and the green longsword pierced through the dragon fish.

The dragonfish flapped its wings in the air, flying erratically without any pattern. Lin Feng kept appearing and disappearing in the air, constantly changing positions among the dragonfish.

"So fast!"

Exclamations rang out as two figures were seen chasing each other in the air, so fast that their trajectories were obscured.

"A substitute soul skill, truly a divine skill."

Many people looked on with envy as they watched Lin Feng's graceful figure moving through the air.

They just knew that this was something they could never have envied.

For most spirit masters, diamond-level soul skills are out of reach, let alone god-level soul skills.

Demon spirits with god-level soul skills are worth tens or hundreds of billions of new dollars, which is simply unaffordable.

Even if you could afford it, such a rare spirit is something you can only come across by chance.

Spirits of this rank are not even allowed to be traded or sold.

Even if you can afford it and are lucky enough to buy it, there's no guarantee you'll be able to absorb it successfully.

Even among the Apostles, no more than three possess god-level soul skills.

There is no apostle who possesses two god-level soul skills.

Lin Feng, however, possesses three types.

The three divine-level soul skills allowed Lin Feng, who was at a significant speed disadvantage, to chase after Baruch and even hold his own.

Faced with this cheat-like dodging method, Baruch felt powerless. He did not continue to waste his energy and slowly stopped.

He changed from holding the sword in his right hand to holding it in both hands. As the green longsword was raised, green light flashed in the air, condensing into hundreds of green swords that occupied most of the sky.

The knife tip points to different positions.

Even from a great distance, the onlookers felt a chill run down their spines. They took a slight step back, suppressing the urge to flee.

Under that terrifying sword intent, many people trembled uncontrollably and were drenched in sweat.

"Lin Feng has no way to escape now," someone said.

When hundreds of green blades materialized, Baruch wielded them with both hands and slashed downwards, sending countless green blades flying and tearing through the sky.

This was a wide-ranging, all-encompassing attack, designed to leave Lin Feng no room to dodge.

Looking at the sky filled with sword shadows, Lin Feng scanned the surroundings and found no way to dodge.

The Substitute Soul Skill is indeed a divine skill, but it has a range limitation, and at this moment all the dragonfish are within the attack range.

Without any movement, colorful light burst forth, and the dragonfish's life spirit enveloped Lin Feng's entire body. The next moment, attacks rained down from all directions.

The Martial Emperor's full-force attack was clearly beyond what Lin Feng could withstand. Amidst the thunderous roar, the seven-colored dragon fish became riddled with holes, visibly fading into an illusion before finally dissipating and disappearing.

Lin Feng flapped his spiritual wings, floating in the air, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He was injured. Upon seeing Lin Feng's injury, cries of alarm rang out.

"Is it already ending so soon after it's even begun?"

"Hua Tianwang is still too young, and the gap in strength is too great."

“If Hua Tianwang wants to escape, Baruch may not be able to stop him.”

"With Hua Tianwang's strength, it's still a bit too much for him to deal with Wu Huang."

Amid the murmurs, Hong Yi looked up at the sky and couldn't help but clench her hands. Originally, she wasn't worried about this battle, but only now did she truly realize the power of the Martial Emperor.

Although Baruch is only an apostle, he is a Martial Emperor and a high-ranking Spirit King, possessing the strength to compete for the title of Heavenly King.

"With Lin Feng's combination of soul skills, there are not many people below the Emperor level who can be his match. Unfortunately, this time his opponent is the Martial Emperor."

In a secluded corner, Feng Tianwang chuckled softly.

Upon receiving the message, he was also drawn over.

He was also very curious about Lin Feng's strength.

He and the Beast King weren't the only ones who were curious; several other Heavenly Kings also came to the scene.

"The battle has only just begun. If this is all he's capable of, then it's laughable."

Beside him, the Beast King kept his eyes fixed on Lin Feng's figure.

Lin Feng's performance was not weak; it's just that his opponent was too strong.

Those god-level soul skills [Substitute] and [Life Soul Transformation], combined with their dodging techniques, would be troublesome even for him.

Although Lin Feng was injured and seemed powerless to resist, he did not believe that someone who dared to provoke and mock him would only have this much strength.

"As expected, even god-level soul skills are not omnipotent and cannot make up for the gap brought about by absolute strength."

Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his right hand and murmured softly.

He wasn't too frustrated by this; it was something he had expected.

If the Martial Emperor were so easy to deal with, he wouldn't be the Martial Emperor.

Lin Feng has experience fighting against the Martial Emperor.

He even killed the Martial Emperor.

But that was under the condition of suppressing their strength through the interdimensional portal, and they were surrounded and killed in a small team.

Lin Feng did not fully grasp the power of the Martial Emperor.

In this one-on-one situation, without revealing his hand, he was indeed at a loss.

"Have you given up?"

Seeing Lin Feng standing still, Baruch frowned slightly, a thought flashing through his mind.

Is it really that simple?

The throne of the Heavenly King was obtained so easily?

In the blink of an eye, Baruch did not stop. He stepped into the void and flew towards Lin Feng like lightning. Just when he was only ten meters away from Lin Feng, his pupils shrank slightly and his body suddenly froze in mid-air.

In their line of sight, Lin Feng was undergoing a rapid transformation.

With a crackling sound from his bones, Lin Feng's body suddenly grew taller, reaching nearly 2.3 meters. His muscles swelled and enlarged, with his arms being the most exaggerated. Not only did they grow half a meter longer, but they were also covered with blue dragon scales in a pentagonal shape. His joints also became thicker and he possessed sharp claws. At the same time, dragon horns resembling those of a deer grew from both sides of his forehead.

With a "whoosh," a pair of wings unfolded from Lin Feng's back. These wings were three meters long and covered with blue scales. As they flapped, purple arcs of electricity swirled around them like lightning snakes, making the air feel scorching.

And this was only the beginning of the anomaly...

A pair of pale white fangs extended from Lin Feng's mouth, and his hair began to grow wildly, reaching up to his waist, turning his entire body grayish-white.

His originally blue eyes had turned dark gray.

The dragon's horns began to bend backward into a spiral shape, making it look even more ferocious, and its bones crackled and popped all over again.

At this moment, Lin Feng was 2.8 meters tall. As his muscles expanded and grew larger, a layer of black keratin covered his dragon scales and wings, giving him even stronger defensive capabilities.

On this black keratin layer, there are also mysterious blood-red patterns all over his body. When the fierce aura was released, the blood and qi in Lin Feng's body began to surge and even overflowed, forming streams of red energy on the surface of his body.

At this moment, Lin Feng was 3.2 meters tall, like a giant.

Lin Feng clenched his fist slightly and looked at Baruch, who was frozen in mid-air.

The burly man, who was originally two meters tall, now looked like a four or five-year-old child in Lin Feng's eyes.

The combination of "Fish-Dragon Transformation" and "Blood Cry" with the soul skill "Demon Transformation"—two techniques, one soul skill, and three states—gave Lin Feng the feeling that even a Martial Emperor was nothing special.

"What kind of monster is that?"

Shocked and even fearful gazes were cast into the air, towards Lin Feng after his transformation. After the exclamations, the entire scene fell silent.
