Chapter 512: Determination

'Suppress.'
Lin Feng's mind was in a great dilemma. All kinds of thoughts collided, but in the end, he still resisted the "temptation". He strengthened his conviction, and did not undergo a life transition.
Of course, it was just that he was not going to undergo metamorphosis for the time being. Perhaps this was an excellent opportunity. Any other cultivator would probably not give up on this opportunity.
However, Lin Feng gave up on it. A life transition with a combat body of 300,000 kilometers might seem already very good, but Lin Feng had not forgotten that he wanted to undergo metamorphosis with a consummate combat body.
It was not just because undergoing metamorphosis with a consummate combat body would increase his strength greatly. More importantly, Lin Feng wanted to go further on the path of cultivation.
He did not just want to become a Grand Emperor. He still wanted to become a Divine King, a Divine Venerable, a Divine Emperor, and even transcend the universe to become a universal lifeform!
If he wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, although a consummate combat body was not mandatory, every step of cultivation was building a foundation. The stronger the foundation, the more stable his future cultivation would be, and the further he could go.
Was it worth giving up an excellent opportunity of metamorphosis for an abstract future?
Perhaps many people would think that it was not worth it, but Lin Feng felt that it was very worth it. He was still very young. His path of cultivation had always been very smooth. Now that there was a new substance that could help Lin Feng get closer to the consummate combat body, what was there for him to be dissatisfied about?
There was still a lot of time in the future. He believed that he would definitely be able to improve his combat body bit by bit, and finally master the consummate combat body.
As Lin Feng strengthened his conviction, his combat body expanded again.
From 310,000 kilometers, 330,000 kilometers, 350,000 kilometers…
Although Lin Feng's combat body was constantly expanding, and the speed of expansion was very fast, this was not metamorphosis. The moment Lin Feng gave up on metamorphosis, he had already lost this opportunity.
Although he had lost the opportunity to undergo metamorphosis, Lin Feng's combat body was constantly metamorphosing under the enhancement of the new substance.
From 380,000 kilometers, 400,000 kilometers, 450,000 kilometers, 500,000 kilometers, 600,000 kilometers…
Lin Feng's combat body expanded faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it had even expanded to 600,000 kilometers. It was already three times larger than Lin Feng's previous combat body.
He had a combat body of 600,000 kilometers, and as only an elementary planetary lifeform. Who had ever seen such a thing?
Beside him, Long Wu, Raymond, and Yu Jing were all guarding Lin Feng. However, when they saw the speed at which Lin Feng's combat body was increasing, they were all dumbfounded.
"Is the effect of the new substance really that good?"
Yu Jing could not help but feel a little excited. The combat body had grown by threefold at once, and it seemed like it was still growing. She was not hoping to increase the combat body by threefold. She would be happy with 30%.
Raymond said with a complicated expression, "I'm afraid it's not just because of the new substance. If I'm not wrong, His Highness Lin Feng had probably metamorphosed into a planetary lifeform with a consummate combat body!"
"What? Metamorphosing into a planetary lifeform with a consummate combat body?"
Yu Jing was dumbfounded. Even Long Wu gasped. They all knew that Raymond was knowledgeable and had always trusted Raymond, but now, the two of them could not quite believe it.
"Raymond, are you mistaken? A consummate combat body is almost a legend. How can His Highness Lin Feng possibly transform into a planetary lifeform with a consummate combat body?"
Long Wu did not quite believe it either. Although they had heard of the consummate combat body, it was only a legend. None of them had ever seen it. As for the Divine Palace of Bemond, no one had ever cultivated the consummate combat body.
Long Wu could believe that Lin Feng was indeed very strong, and his comprehension of Laws was simply unique and incredible. However, Long Wu would be the first to disbelieve that Lin Feng had cultivated the consummate combat body.
Raymond took a deep breath and said slowly, "The consummate combat body is not a legend. At least, there's one person in our Divine Palace of Bemond who has cultivated the consummate combat body."
"There's a disciple who has cultivated the consummate combat body in our Divine Palace of Bemond? Impossible. If there is, it's impossible that I don't know about them…"
Long Wu absolutely did not believe it. He had been in the Divine Palace of Bemond for even longer than Raymond. He had never heard of any disciple cultivating the consummate combat body.
However, Raymond said slowly, "Who said that it's a disciple?"
"If they're not a disciple, then…"
"His Majesty the Divine King transformed into a planetary lifeform with a consummate combat body back then!"
"What, His Majesty the Divine King?"
Long Wu and Yu Jing looked at each other.
In their eyes, the great and powerful Divine King Bemond was as profound as the vast cosmos. Even the core disciples of the upper district of the Divine Palace knew very little about Divine King Bemond.
"That's right. His Majesty the Divine King is a cultivator with a consummate combat body. Unfortunately, His Majesty the Divine King failed to master the consummate combat body when he was a planetary lifeform. His Majesty must have valued His Highness Lin Feng highly, and His Majesty the Divine King might even have placed a trace of hope on His Highness Lin Feng."
Raymond had learned these secrets from an unknown source, but neither Long Wu nor Yu Jing suspected anything. They had known Raymond for a long time, not for a year or two, or for a decade or a century, but for more than a thousand years!
In the past, I could not be not sure if His Highness Lin Feng had metamorphosed into a planetary lifeform with a consummate combat body. But this time, when His Highness Lin Feng used the new substance, he could improve his combat body by so much. That must be something that can only be done with an incomparably stable foundation. I wonder if His Highness Lin Feng can create a miracle, and eventually master a planetary consummate combat body. If that's the case, an invincible Grand Emperor will probably be born in the Divine Palace of Bemond in the future. He even has a chance of becoming the second Divine King in the Divine Palace!"
Raymond's gaze was fervent as he stared intently at the figure in the cosmos.
The more he learned about Lin Feng, the more Raymond felt lucky that he had invited Lin Feng to form a team back then, and had a good relationship with Lin Feng so far.
With this relationship alone, there was no knowing how much benefits Raymond, Long Wu, and Yu Jing could obtain.
At this moment, Lin Feng was focused on observing the combat body. He did not know that Raymond had almost figured out his background. However, even if he knew, it was nothing much. At most, he would just smile knowingly.
This was because by forming a team with Raymond and the others, and being in the midst of the dangerous tides of the Big Bang, all kinds of methods and secrets would be exposed sooner or later.
It did not matter if they were exposed. As long as one was powerful, no one would dare to harbor any ill intentions towards them.
Lin Feng had long seen through all this. Hence, he was even more eager to master the consummate combat body. Even if he could not attain the consummate combat body now, he had to try his best to approach it.
Hence, he devoted all of his energy to fusing the new substance in a frenzy, propelling the expansion of his combat body.
to do our best to prepare for the second wave of the Big Bang. It may be much more dangerous to sweep for new substances in the second wave of the Big Bang than now."
"We understand. We'll have to trouble Your Highness Lin Feng next."
Raymond and the other two nodded, their expressions rather complicated. Of course they understood what Lin Feng meant. From the looks of it, Lin Feng's combat body should be about to reach consummation. That was why he was so eager to sweep for more new substances.
This way, they might encounter danger. After all, they would encounter some top-notch Venerables or Quasi-emperors. It was not impossible for them to even encounter a Grand Emperor.
The more strength they had, the more assurance they would have.
Lin Feng guarded Raymond and the other two, and the three of them began to fuse the new substances.
Yu Jing and Raymond both only had combat bodies of a few million kilometers. Although they were close to 10 million kilometers, they were still a little short. At this moment, with the help of the new substance, Yu Jing and Raymond both advanced by leaps and bounds. Their combat bodies expanded rapidly, and they had already exceeded the 10 million-kilometer mark!
Lin Feng was most concerned about Long Wu. Long Wu used the new substance with the best effect among the three of them.
Long Wu's foundation was very good. His combat body was a total of 30 million kilometers in size. Even Raymond and Yu Jing combined were not Long Wu's match. With such a powerful combat body and the fusion of new substances, Long Wu's combat body also expanded rapidly.
From 30 million kilometers, 35 million kilometers, 40 million kilometers…
Yu Jing and Raymond's combat bodies had basically only increased by about 30%. They had just broken through the 10 million-kilometer mark, and could be considered outstanding among Venerables.
Of course, they were far inferior to Long Wu's. Long Wu's combat body could be considered the top among Venerables. Even a combat body of 30 million kilometers was top-notch in any galaxy.
Now, after Long Wu fused with the new substance, his combat body had increased steeply by 50%, instantly reaching 45 million kilometers. Among Venerables, apart from Lin Feng who had cultivated the consummate combat body and some others, it was almost impossible for anyone to surpass this.
The strongest Venerable Lin Feng had ever encountered only had a combat body of 40 million kilometers. In terms of the combat body alone, a combat body of 45 million kilometers practically signified the strongest Venerable Lin Feng had ever encountered.
"Great, Your Highness Long Wu. Apart from those Quasi-emperors who have comprehended Laws, you are already the top Venerable!"
Lin Feng was also happy for Long Wu. At such a critical moment, the stronger Long Wu was, the more advantageous it was for Lin Feng and the entire team.
"Haha, this is all thanks to the new substance that His Highness Lin Feng had salvaged."
Long Wu laughed heartily.
What were opportunities? This was an opportunity!
If he cultivated step by step, it would probably be impossible for him to increase his combat body to 45 million kilometers in this lifetime.
As for why Long Wu, Raymond, and Yu Jing took the risk to fight for new substances in the wave of the Big Bang?
It was because of such opportunities. Once they encountered an opportunity and obtained a new substance, even if they could not undergo metamorphosis, their strength would increase substantially.
This was especially the case with Lin Feng, the Quasi-emperor, leading the way. If they obtained a large amount of new substances, Long Wu might even have a slight chance of becoming a Grand Emperor!
Becoming a Grand Emperor was practically the lifelong goal of many Venerables. Being able to become a Grand Emperor already meant fulfilling their wish. Long Wu's goal was also to become a Grand Emperor, but without opportunities, it was impossible for him to become a Grand Emperor.
Only during the Big Bang, where there were all kinds of miraculous new substances, was there hope for everything!
"Everyone has already improved greatly. Let's do some planning next."
Lin Feng's gaze landed on Raymond. It had to be said that Raymond was indeed the strongest in terms of planning and organizing. Lin Feng was very assured with Raymond in charge of planning.
Raymond nodded slightly as well, then said with a smile, "We've gained a lot this time. Everyone has benefited. I have a few plans for what to do next, but before that, I need to ask everyone about their goals."
"Your Highness Lin Feng, what is your goal? To obtain new substances, make a fortune, and increase your strength? Or do you want to undergo metamorphosis?"
He was asking Lin Feng directly. Everyone's gaze fell on Lin Feng.
They knew that Lin Feng's goal actually determined their future plans.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and said firmly without any hesitation, "I need to do my best to continue to increase the strength of my combat body, the stronger, the better! For this, I can even take risks!"
Raymond pondered for a moment. He already knew Lin Feng's decision.
"If Your Highness wants to strengthen your combat body, you must obtain precious new substances. However, new substances like the ones we obtained previously are probably very rare. Even if they appear, there is a high possibility of competition. Your Highness Lin Feng, I would like to ask a very important question. I hope Your Highness can answer truthfully."
"Ask away."
"Your Highness, are you confident in dealing with Grand Emperors?"
"Grand Emperors?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not a match for a Grand Emperor, but if I use my trump card, I can hold off a Grand Emperor for a while."
"Good, that makes things easier."
Raymond's eyes were bright, and his voice was filled with excitement. "Our plan next is very simple, and that is to sweep! We'll sweep through all the new substances we can discover in a frenzy. There's no need for us to fear anyone below the level of a Grand Emperor. We'll obtain as many new substances as possible so that His Highness Lin Feng can undergo metamorphosis."
At the mention of sweeping, Long Wu and Yu Jing both became excited, and the expressions on their faces were slightly complicated.
In the past, only Grand Emperors could sweep through an area during the Big Bang! Unexpectedly, they actually had the ambition and capability to begin sweeping now!
Of course, the main force of the sweep would definitely be Lin Feng.
"No problem, we'll sweep through all the new substances! Not a single one will be spared!"
A sharp glint also appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. It concerned the consummate combat body he was about to master. He was willing to pay any price.
