Tu Qianjue is still in the northeast.

The distance was still far, but the sensation was clearer than before.

Lin Feng stood beside the venomous lizard's corpse, his right hand hanging at his side.

The dark red lines were embedded in the palm, like a fine thorn burrowing into the flesh.

With each expansion of the mark, his perception of Tu Qianjue became clearer.

Similarly, Tu Qianjue could also find him by following the piece of flesh that had been swallowed.

Lin Feng put away the star core and walked towards the direction where the two rock-armored beasts were.

Continuing to fight will accelerate the spread of the mark.

To remove the mark in a short time, he would either have to kill Tu Qianjue or break through to the second level of the Overlord.

Rather than waiting for your right hand to become completely useless, you might as well try to fix it before the marks appear on your wrist.

Five kilometers is not far.

The poisonous fog along the way grew thicker and thicker, and three lone star beasts emerged from the fog one after another.

The first one to appear was a Rock-Splitter Scorpion.

Lin Feng did not use spatial teleportation, nor did he use his domain to forcefully suppress Lin Feng.

The Myriad Calamities Halberd was thrust out from the left hand, the tip breaking through the armor, but the shaft slid half an inch in the palm.

The rock scorpion's stinger grazed his shoulder armor, sending sparks flying.

Lin Feng turned sideways and lowered the halberd shaft, severing the scorpion's tail in the process. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the halberd pierced through its head.

After the body fell to the ground, he looked down at his left hand.

The area between my thumb and forefinger felt hot, and the old calluses were rubbed raw.

When holding the halberd in the right hand, the force is concentrated between the tiger's mouth and the middle finger.

When you switch to your left hand, the weight of the halberd always tends to shift towards your little finger.

The difference may be small, but it can be enough to affect life and death.

Lin Feng drew his halberd and continued forward.

When the Shadow Serpent lunged out of the poisonous mist, his movements had become more steady.

The first sweep of the halberd only severed half of the snake's tail, and the Shadow Serpent seized the opportunity to coil around his left arm, its fangs aimed straight for his wrist bone.

Lin Feng did not rush to break free.

He pressed down on the halberd shaft, slamming it, along with the shadow snake coiled around his arm, to the ground.

The rock strata suddenly cracked open, and the sound of snake bones breaking came from the smoke and dust.

Lin Feng flipped the halberd and pierced its chest and abdomen.

The third stone turtle was huddled in a crevice in the rock, its shell as thick as a wall.

Lin Feng did not use a direct strike.

The Myriad Calamities Halberd scattered in his hand, and thirty-six bone shuttles flew out along the ground, drilling into the gaps at the edge of the tortoise shell.

As soon as the stone turtle poked its head out, all four of its limbs simultaneously lost strength.

Lin Feng gripped the halberd again and thrust it through the seam in the shell.

This time, the halberd did not sway.

The system provides a prompt.

Left-hand weapon proficiency is improving.

Lin Feng put away the star core and shook his numb fingers.

"Being able to kill is enough."

Heavy thuds came from ahead of the poisonous fog.

The two rock-armored beasts broke through the black mist, their mineralized armor plates rubbing against each other, producing a piercing scraping sound.

They charged at each other, one after the other.

The one in front lowered its head and rammed into Lin Feng's chest, while the one behind circled to the side, its thick tail sweeping across the ground.

Lin Feng took half a step back.

An absolute restricted area suddenly unfolded, enveloping a radius of twenty meters.

The rock-armored beast at the forefront suddenly sank, and the primal luster covering its entire body quickly dimmed.

The Heavenly Halberd of Myriad Calamities pierced through its neck, tearing apart its armor plates.

Seeing its companion fall, the other rock-armored beast turned and disappeared into the poisonous fog.

Five bone shuttles gave chase.

Three nails were driven into the hind leg joints, and two more were driven across, severing the long tail at the root.

The rock-armored beast let out a mournful howl, its massive body collapsing to its knees.

Lin Feng chased after it and ended its struggle with a single blow.

Two Tier 3 Dominator Star Cores fell into his hands.

Just then, a sharp pain shot through his right palm.

A chilling power emerged from the depths of the mark, creeping along the meridians towards the wrist.

Lin Feng immediately mobilized his killing intent, forcing that power back into his palm.

The dark red lines did not disappear; instead, they extended outward by half a finger.

【warn.】

[Phasing mark activity increased.]

External energy injection detected.

[Tu Qianjue is refining the host's flesh and blood.]

Lin Feng stared at his palm without saying a word.

Every time Tu Qianjue refines a portion of flesh and blood, the mark deepens.

That madman clearly knew that time was running out.

Lin Feng planted the Myriad Calamities Halberd in the ground and pressed down on the still-warm corpse of the Rock Armor Beast with his left hand.

Reverse Devouring Initiated.

The dark golden essence was drawn from his flesh and blood, flowing along his arm and into his dantian.

The rock-armored beast's corpse quickly dried up, its hard armor plates lost their luster, and one after another, they fell off its back.

After the first corpse was drained, the source energy within Lin Feng's body noticeably thickened.

The second corpse also quickly shriveled up.

A slight vibration came from within the dantian.

There is still a gap between it and the peak of the first-tier Overlord, but it is no longer far away.

Lin Feng drew his battle halberd and looked at the map in his mind.

Deeper still in the Meteorite Abyss, there is a life-giving light that has never moved.

Its primal fluctuations are far stronger than those of the Rock Armor Beast, reaching at least the fourth level of the Overlord rank.

Lin Feng gripped his battle halberd tightly and walked in that direction.

Outside, at the main control tower of Tianjiao Star.

Inside the independent communications room, a holographic projection of Augustus stands in front of a light screen.

Two trusted aides rushed over from the monitoring room, both looking somewhat uneasy.

One of them spoke in a low voice.

"The combat log has been sent to the chief referee team."

Augustus looked at Lin Feng in the light screen.

"What's inside?"

"The complete battle record between Lin Feng and Tu Qianjue, including the collar malfunction, spatial blockade, and scenes of Tu Qianjue devouring other contestants."

Augustus asked, "And what is my name?"

"It did not appear."

"Group adjustments fall under the management authority of the main team, but if they continue to check the permission chain, they may find anomalies."

"Cannot be found."

Augustus spoke calmly.

"All permissions are implemented with a three-level redirection, and the person handling the task is using a temporary ID."

The two confidants breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In the light screen, Lin Feng is carrying his battle halberd and venturing deep into the Meteor Abyss.

His right hand always hung down at his side.

Augustus's gaze lingered on that hand.

Is Tu Qianjue still alive?

"There's no trace of his life left in the surveillance footage."

The confidant paused.

"However, he must have used the collar to perform a substitution ritual."

Augustus remained silent for a moment.

"It's good that you're alive."

The confidant was taken aback.

Augustus raised his hand and tapped Lin Feng's image.

"Tu Qianjue devoured his flesh and blood, and Tu Qianjue's mark was left on his body."

"They want to find each other more than we do now."

Another close confidant was somewhat worried.

"What if Raymond Lam removes the mark?"

Augustus said calmly, "He can't do it for now."

"The law of devouring is not poison."

"Unless he kills Tu Qianjue, or breaks through another realm before the mark goes out of control."

The confidant looked at Lin Feng's realm marker.

"Breaking through to the second level of the Overlord during the competition is almost impossible."

"Then let him stay inside a little longer."

Augustus turned off the light screen.

"Tu Qianjue will take care of the rest for us."

Deep within Meteorite Abyss.

Lin Feng continued walking for another twenty minutes.

The surrounding poisonous fog changed from dark purple to deep black, and the rock strata underfoot gradually turned red.

Cracks covered the ground, and heat kept escaping from the gaps.

There were no other star beasts nearby.

The further you walk, the quieter it becomes.

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks.

Three hundred meters away, a huge crack stretched across the black mist.

The crack was nearly tens of meters wide, disappearing into the darkness with no end in sight.

The life-giving light within the sea of ​​consciousness resides inside the crack.

The system completed the scan quickly.

[Target race unknown.]

[The estimated cultivation level is between the fourth and fifth tiers of the Overlord realm.]

The target is in a dormant state.

[The concentration of Star Abyss Origin energy in the vicinity is abnormal.]

A rich source of energy continuously gushed forth from the cracks.

Standing merely on the edge, Lin Feng could feel the source within his dantian beginning to operate on its own.

If he could kill the star beasts inside and absorb the power accumulated here, he might actually be able to reach the threshold of the second level of the Overlord.

Lin Feng raised the Myriad Calamities Heavenly Halberd and stepped into the area covered by the crack.

The moment my foot landed, the entire rock formation trembled slightly.

A muffled breathing sound came from deep within the crack.

Two dark red lights shone in the darkness.

That thing woke up.
