Legend of the Mythological Genes
chapter-242

Heretic God of the Blood Sea?

One would know instantly that someone with such a name wouldn’t be any kind soul.

Feng Lin felt somewhat puzzled. He didn’t say anything and continued to listen.

“That’s right,” Yana spoke. “Once, a devilish killer appeared in the Southern Milky Way Galaxy. At the start, although this person’s cultivation base wasn’t too high, his methods were extremely cruel and he also had a crafty personality. He roamed the various large planets and committed many crimes. Also, he used the corpses and blood of people to perform terrifying bloody ceremonies to strengthen his body. It’s said that whenever he killed someone, he would leave behind a row of words ‘When the human world turned into a sea of blood, an asura would become a heretic god.’ He was also extremely intelligent and made use of all sorts of technology, committing all sorts of sins. In total, he has killed millions of people alone and had completely lost his humanity. However, many interstellar empires of the Southern Milky Way Galaxy had no way to trace him, which allowed him to remain uncaptured. He took some time off from his ‘hobby’ to use his Blood Sea Ceremony to enhance his cultivation, becoming an elite cultivator from an ordinary mortal using just a month of time. After that, he vanished without a trace and was eventually captured in a small country. Due to his crimes being too severe, he was eventually sentenced to life-imprisonment here on Asura Planet…”

Feng Lin listened on with a look of contemplation on his face.

The heretic god was such a scheming individual. Those super interstellar empires failed to capture him, but he was eventually captured by a small country? Something sounded very wrong here.

“The heretic god got caught on purpose right?” Feng Lin asked, having a speculation in his heart.

Yana nodded heavily. “Although there is no concrete proof, I’m afraid this is probably the case.”

“But why? Why would he surrender himself? Is he not afraid of being awarded the death sentence?” Feng Lin furrowed his brows, not understanding why the Killer King would choose to do this. He paid close attention to the Killer King’s history and origins.

This Heretic God of the Blood Sea had subdued so many death criminals, so his cultivation base must be extraordinary and could be said to be a great BOSS here on Asura Planet. In the future, if they encountered him, the heretic god would undoubtedly be an extremely deadly enemy.

Hence, how could Feng Lin not pay close attention to this powerhouse?

Yana who was at the side also frowned in puzzlement. As they interacted, she discovered many strange points about Feng Lin. He knew many things, especially about some deep secrets regarding cultivation. However, he didn’t seem to know of the common knowledge. This was simply too weird.

But that, after all, was his personal secret, so she didn’t probe too much. She then spoke, “Feng Lin, you don’t understand the situation of the interstellar world too well. You must know that death penalty isn’t considered the harshest punishment in this era. For some evil people who committed extremely heinous crimes, giving them the death penalty would be treating them too lightly. We have to give them sentences that ensure their lives would be worse than death before the sentence would be effective. Deporting them to Asura Planet is one type of such sentences! They have to stay on this planet with the aberrations and face the dangers of being devoured every time. Such a sentence is much more effective than simply death. But from my estimations, I discovered that the Killer King isn’t so simple. The number of crimes he committed isn’t too little or too much, just in the acceptable range to be deported to Asura Planet. How strange. I didn’t expect him to have subdued so many death criminals here. I wonder what he is planning.”

Feng Lin’s expressions suddenly changed when he heard that. He hurriedly spoke, “Quickly open up the map of Asura Planet!”

Yana was startled after hearing this sudden request, but she instantly understood something. She then swiftly tapped her id microchip and opened up the holographic map of Asura Planet.

“What’s the matter?” Aris who was at the side had a look of confusion on her face.

Yana explained in a heavy voice, “This Ultimate Killer King is incomparably intelligent and extremely scheming. There’s a purpose behind every action he takes. Now that he gathered so many criminals, what is he trying to do?”

The three of them swept their gazes over, staring at the trajectory of the groups of criminals. Upon following the trajectory, their eyes moved to a point on the map where the red-colored head of a devil could be seen as a symbol.

That place was none other the location of the gigantic-scale queen.

Yana frowned and fell into contemplation as her mind spun rapidly.

Feng Lin was also deep in thought.

It was impossible that things were so simple!

How could the heretic god be so kind-hearted and take on such a huge risk to kill the gigantic-scale queen?

This didn’t conform to logic at all and it wasn’t worth it!

The heretic god wouldn’t be able to gain anything.

After killing so many aberrations as well as his memories from his previous life, if one was to talk about understanding of the aberrations, Feng Lin would undoubtedly be the top three on Asura Planet.

He was very clear that other than exchanging the thumbs of these monsters for points, they weren’t that valuable. Their blood was acidic and only their gene hypophysis was nutritious. That was all to it.

However, these criminals weren’t exam candidates, why did they need points?

The Killer King expended so much effort to come to Asura Planet. Was it really just for surviving?

This completely didn’t conform with logic! There must be a deeper secret here!

In that case, what else would there be for the Killer King to do this?

…

The information was too little. At this point in time, Feng Lin wasn’t able to make any accurate judgments.

At this moment, Yana spoke, verifying his conjecture, “This Ultimate Killer King cannot simply be a slaughterer; he should be a genius criminal or he wouldn’t have been able to cause so much havoc where everyone had to fear for their safety in the Southern Milky Way Galaxy with his cultivation base at the elite cultivator realm. One must know that there are other criminals with even higher cultivation bases who can’t do what he did to that extent. He mastered many methods of killing and is proficient in using technology. In any case, he is extremely lethal and can be considered one of the most terrifying terrorists in the universe. He has no sense of morality and brings calamity everywhere with him, causing endless trouble. Such a human must have expended much effort to subdue so many death criminals on this planet. He should have some grand ambition in his mind. There must be some secrets hidden on Asura Planet that attracts him.”

She and Feng Lin exchanged mutual glances, evidently, they thought of the same thing and felt the layers of fog unraveling before their eyes, revealing the truth.

There was an extremely huge risk in doing so but also an extremely great opportunity.

Should they go or not?

The three of them fell silent!

Even before Feng Lin said anything, Yana’s eyes flashed with determination as she spoke in a low voice, “Let us go and take a look!”

Feng Lin looked at her in a different light now. He didn’t expect Yana, who was someone with intelligence yet lacking in courage, to actually make such a risky decision.

They just escaped from the Killer King and now, they were about to jump back into his palm again. The danger was extremely great. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to have the determination to make this decision.

Staring at his puzzled look, Yana laughed softly. “Do you still remember what I told you before? I said that I would make you the King of Solar System. I will not go back on my word. My strength is too weak, it’s impossible for me to become the top scorer of this exam. But with the support of my intelligence, I can help someone to attain that. If I can’t even do so, this exam would truly be too boring for me.”

Her soft look changed as her eyes gleamed sharply.

“Now, we have already slaughtered many small-scale and medium-scale mother nests, including a large-scale one, we already have a huge advantage. Although I don’t know the points of other people, I can roughly calculate it. There are only three large-scale mother nest, and we have already annihilated one. Basically, it can already ascertain our scores to be at the top. There’s only one exception.”

“And that is if the gigantic-scale mother nest is wiped out by others.” Feng Lin continued for her.

For every increase in grade for queen-type aberrations, the points they represented would surge up by ten times.

If the gigantic-scale aberration queen was killed by someone, the points that person would obtain would surge up to a standard no one could match.

“That’s right!” Yana smiled, the light of intelligence in her eyes glowing brighter and brighter. “Initially, it was impossible for people to attack the gigantic-scale mother nest. But now with the presence of the Ultimate Killer King, things are not certain. Many variables are in place. Hence, we have to go there and check the situation out. If the gigantic-scale mother nest isn’t exterminated, we would undoubtedly be the first in this exam round and there’s no need for us to take the risk. If an unexpected thing happened in the end, it wouldn’t be too late for us to act and steal the food from the mouth of the tiger, securing our advantage!”

“Sure.” Feng Lin nodded. This was undoubtedly a very safe method. He thought about things a little longer and directly asked, “Why me? If you need someone to become the King of the Solar System, Aris should be strong enough and she is also your younger sister. You could choose to assist her!”

As for her true purpose, Feng Lin still felt a little doubtful ever since the start.

Would there be anyone so kind to selflessly help another to become number one in the solar system?

He and she were just strangers who had met by chance…

If someone told him that Yana had no other purpose at all, Feng Lin wouldn’t believe it.

To his question, Yana smiled and didn’t conceal anything. She confidently replied, “For my mythological path, I cannot fight directly, but my intelligence far surpasses my peers. If I cannot obtain the first place in the solar system using my intelligence indirectly, I would take it as a personal failure. At the start, I initially thought to assist my sister and help her take the throne. This was why I decided to ally with you to kill the queens after seeing your strength. At that time, I only need to save enough points to pass the round and will transfer my remaining points all to her, allowing her to be number one! However, your strength increased too fast and is too powerful, obtaining the majority of the points and far surpassing us. This completely rendered my earlier plan useless.”

So this was the case!

Feng Lin understood and didn’t reveal a too-surprised expression.

He had speculated that it was something like this and indeed, he was right.

Initially, when he allied with the two of them, it could be said that he was fighting them one against two. His chance of victory was too minimal.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he rose too quickly and his strength was decent, there would be no hope at all.

However, although Feng Lin guessed it, he wasn’t bothered at all.

This was an open scheme.

This Yana was actually willing to pass on her points to her younger sister Aris. Feng Lin couldn’t say anything to that either.

After some time, the sky turned bright.

Feng Lin and the two sisters also made their decisions.

Given the fact that Asura Planet only had so large of a space, the number of aberrations was naturally limited. The points the exam candidates could get were also limited.

Out of the three large-scale mother nests, they had already exterminated one and occupied a huge advantage.

This was also one of the reasons why the prince of the Heavenly King Planet had a conflict with them.

Other than personal grudges, seizing resources in terms of points was also another reason. Things weren’t as simple as the prince wanting revenge for old debts between the sisters and him.

Feng Lin’s group then depended on his Cloudsoar ability and flew toward their targeted location, intending on settling this last piece of trouble.

Their speed was quick. Very soon, a stretch of sea appeared before their eyes, shining bright red like it was formed from blood. From afar, a strong fishy smell drifted over.

“This is the blood sea of Asura Planet; the waters are filled with metallic elements which give the waters their color, resembling blood. This place is also the location of the gigantic-scale mother nest!” Yana spoke.

Feng Lin’s heart stirred.

The blood sea and the Heretic God of the Blood Sea?

Was this really just a coincidence?

…

“Look quickly!” They were above the clouds, and Aris suddenly pointed her finger below.

The two of them glanced over and saw that on the shore, over 7,000 exam candidates had gathered here. They were more than half of those who came to participate in the second round of exams.

Clearly, these candidates were all intelligent people.

They also knew that this was the location of the gigantic-scale queen. As long as they could kill it, they could rise in a single move, becoming the King of the Solar System.

Their thinking was beautiful, but their current situation wasn’t too optimistic.

A group of savage killers rushed over and engulfed them like the tides. Each of them cackled and roared, their faces as hideous as an evil ghost.

The eyes of the criminals flared with greed when they stared at the exam candidates, treating them as food. They wanted nothing more than to slash these exam candidates into pieces.

These criminals basically didn’t treat the students as their own race at all. They only felt intense hunger and radiated powerful, chilling killing intent.

For a period of time, the exam candidates entered hell on earth, facing malicious ghosts from all directions.

However, they weren’t weaklings either. They naturally fought back and unleashed all sorts of wondrous genetic abilities.

There was a stone giant whose fists were like hammers…

A fiery ring manifested around an expert, like he was a fire god who descended to the mortal world, burning everything he came into contact with to cinders…

The sound of flapping wings rang out, summoning the wind and rain, using the forces of nature…

…

All of these were peak geniuses of the solar system; it could be said that they were the solar system’s essence. Their techniques naturally wouldn’t be weak and far surpassed their peers. This was a battle of extraordinary powers and could be said to be incomparably intense, like demons and devils dancing in riotous revelry.

Feng Lin’s horizons were broadened as he watched in detail at the side.

These exam candidates could all be considered his opponents. With such a good chance to observe them, how would he miss it?

These death criminals might not be as strong as the exam candidates individually, but they had overwhelming numbers on their side.

Through so many years, given how vast the Southern Milky Way Galaxy was, it was unknown how many death criminals had been deported here. Those criminals who were still alive had all gathered here today. Each of them radiated a terrifying aura and considering the big picture, they actually fought on equal grounds with the exam candidates.

However, among the death criminals, there was still an extremely terrifying existence—the Killer King. Although he didn’t reveal himself, they could hear him calling out words of truth.

Lock!

Exterminate!

Disperse!

Suppress!

…

These simple words sounded ordinary, yet they contained a boundless might. As the sound waves gushed forward, the exam candidates were all affected and their combat prowess became greatly reduced. Several even ended up heavily injured or dying.

Some of the weakened exam candidates were actually grabbed and devoured by the death criminals. These poor souls screamed in extreme pain and agony on the verge of death, causing chills to rise in the hearts of others. The exam candidates were forced to retreat as their groups started to collapse from the pressure.

Upon hearing the sound waves in the air, Feng Lin hid at the side while paying attention to it. The words spoken didn’t seem to be in chinese or any of the more commonly used language in the universe. This was an ancient language.

(Sanskrit! Could the mythological path this Killer King be walking on was…?)

Feng Lin hadn’t thought through things clearly but at this moment, the situation on the field had already changed completely.

The solar system’s exam candidates were completely at a disadvantage. They kept falling back as their defenses crumbled. The situation grew more and more dangerous for them.

After observing for a long time, Yana suddenly had a discovery. She sighed in a heavy voice.

“Not good. This is a plot to rouse the tiger to eat the wolves!”
