Legend of the Mythological Genes
chapter-249

So this was the case!

The light dissipated and the ancient mythological scene shattered before him, transforming into points of starlight before they faded away.

The familiar situation he was facing now had awakened a part of the hereditary memories stored in his genes. He saw the scene of how Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Underworld.

His consciousness returned to his original body. He was still sinking inside the blood pool as countless ghostly hands wanted to drag him down. Sharp ghostly wails echoed in his ears. The ghosts and demons here began to claw and bite him, wanting to tear him apart and devour him.

(The fear of death isn’t enough to shake my heart!)

Feng Lin had a look of enlightenment on his face as he slowly sat in a cross-legged position. All the fear, despair, and panic that was present in his heart earlier was completely swept away. The state of his heart became as calm as water.

However, below this calmness, an ancient baleful aura was being suppressed. This baleful aura was lawless and tyrannical. Once it erupted forth, a towering wave would be created.

There was boundless terror in the atmosphere, bladed mountains, sea of fires, cauldrons with fiery oil, thousands and millions of swords and blades…All of these now weren’t able to shake his heart.

If one’s heart was strong enough, they could shift mountain, overturn seas, subdue demons, destroy gods, shift the stars, and flip the heavens…

The inextinguishable tyrannical qi in his heart woke Feng Lin up. Only now did he understand the true essence of the Heart Monkey Force.

The heart monkey’s will was like an unbridled horse that wanted to gallop with no restraint!

The Heart Monkey Force wasn’t simple idealistic energy that could affect the material world. It also contained countless possibilities and transformations.

It represented an invincible state of heart that had neither fear nor worries. It could struggle free from all bindings and suppress all distracting thoughts. Without thought, how could there be fear? He would advance courageously.

In the Primordial Era, even the might of the heavenly court and underworld was unable to dominate the Great Sage Equal to the Heavens. He alone wreaked havoc everywhere and flipped the heavens and earth upside down.

This was the terrifying aspect of the heart monkey.

A surge of ruthless aura filled his heart. Feng Lin abruptly opened his eyes as a flash of golden light shone. It was like an unsheathed divine sword breaking apart the darkness and quelling the chaos.

(What’s with those eyes?)

The Ultimate Killer King transformed into the Yama King and sat in the dark sky. His figure was locked on by the golden light, and he felt as though a terrifying existence was staring at him. His body turned stiff as he started to tremble.

The Asura Gene was evolved from the Spirit Gene, Baleful Gene, and Slaughter Gene. The killing intent in his heart was naturally intense. But at this moment, this surge of ruthless aura completely dominated his mind and heart. The Killer King didn’t even dare to think about resisting.

“DAMN!” After returning to his senses, the Killer King howled with rage. His anger rose to the sky, wanting to burn everything around him into ashes.

The feeling of being looked down upon by that golden gaze felt even worse than being killed. He felt extremely angered and sullen in his heart.

As the Ultimate Killer King, when had anyone ever dared to use such a gaze to stare at him?

“Brat, you didn’t die yet? I want to see how long can you struggle for!” The Ultimate Killer King roared.

At the next moment, the hell suddenly changed.

“Fourteenth level, Hell of the Wrongful Dead!”

“Fifteenth level, Hell of Dismemberment!”

“Sixteenth level, Hell of Volcano!”

…

A sea of flames occurred, ten thousand blades shot over, and Feng Lin was even transformed into a beast of burden…all sorts of punishment were heaped onto him. He was wounded and forced to recover as the cycle continued repeatedly. He was in constant torment, not able to live or die. In fact, living like this was worse than death.

However, Feng Lin guarded his original state of heart. He wasn’t bothered by the external punishment as he had seen through the illusion.

No matter how terrifying the things he had to experience in this hell were, everything didn’t exist in reality.

After understanding the true essence of the Heart Monkey, his spirit force finally surged to a level higher than the Ultimate Killer King.

All the illusions and terror being generated were nothing but clouds of mist passing through his vision. They were no longer effective against him.

“What?” After a long time, when the Ultimate Killer King realized that Feng Lin was basically not affected, he roared wrathfully. He had no idea that Feng Lin’s state of mind had changed drastically.

“Seventeenth level, Hell of Mills!”

“Eighteenth level, Hell of Sawing!”

A stone mill as large as a mountain appeared before him. Feng Lin was as tiny as an ant before it, and he was crushed into meat paste, his blood flowing everywhere.

Wooden piles were covered with thorns, which pierced into his flesh, tying him in a posture that resembled this shape ‘大’. Many evil demons had saws in their hands as they started to saw him apart.

The sharp steel ground against his bones, creating a scalp-numbing sound effect.

The eighteen level of hells, a total of eighteen cruel punishments.

Feng Lin passed through them one by one, and the cruel tormenting cycle repeated thousands of times. But other than him being a little mentally fatigued, there seemed to be no other injuries at all.

His heart was as tough as a rock; nothing could move it.

“Is that all?” Feng Lin coldly laughed after he had experienced everything.

“What?” The Ultimate Killer King was extremely shocked as a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

“If that is all you have, I have to confess that I’m disappointed.” Feng Lin laughed coldly as he suddenly spoke another word, “TRANSFORM!”

His body then abruptly expanded like an inflated balloon.

3 meters, 10 meters, 50 meters…

In an illusion created by spirit force, there were no restrictions on any laws of reality. Countless possibilities were present here, and one could become anything their hearts desired.

Feng Lin summoned his spirit force and actually became a golden-furred monkey of 100 meters tall. His eyes gleamed with a golden light as he crushed the wooden pile he was bound to, shaking himself free.

“SHATTER FOR ME!” With a wave of his hand, a resplendent golden cudgel appeared. A row of words could be seen on it. “Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Weight: 6,750 kg!”

As he swept out with the cudgel, it changed shape and became a heavenly pillar. The momentum and the force of the strike caused the surroundings to collapse.

BOOM!

The eighteen levels of hell broke apart.

Feng Lin was like the Heart Monkey that had just broken free of his imprisonment. The ruthless aura in his heart was unbridled and he was currently waving his metal cudgel around, venting his emotions.

The powerful illusion of hell was actually about to crumble apart.

No matter how much terror was in here, it wasn’t able to confuse his heart.

The tyrannical and ruthless aura in his heart couldn’t be soothed. Only by destroying everything and breaking apart this hell of darkness that had existed in ancient times would he finally feel free.

Feng Lin transformed into a world-destroying demon ape, wrecking everything before him.

“You should die!” The Killer King felt extreme anger. If it wasn’t for his fatigue after having fought against the humanoid queen and his injured constitution, how could this brat dare to act so brazenly?

Feng Lin was still wantonly causing destruction and wreaking havoc in the underworld. This illusion of hell would break apart sooner or later!

Once Feng Lin had broken free, it wouldn’t be so easy for the Killer King to trap him inside another spirit-layered illusion again!

“DAMN IT!” The Ultimate Killer King didn’t expect Feng Lin to be so troublesome to handle. He suddenly moved, deciding to join the fight personally.

His horns pointed to the sky, his expression was extremely malevolent, and his body was as large as a mountain.

The Killer King’s body soared, blotting out the sky and causing everywhere to be shrouded in darkness.

“DIE!” A pair of giant fists blasted out and Feng Lin could only sweep his cudgel outward to block. Under the clash of the two violent energies, his body was flung through the air like a cannon.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

The Killer King’s methods were extremely merciless. After gaining an advantage, he continued to attack, wanting to use his fist to pound Feng Lin into meat paste.

Feng Lin’s body was already large enough. But before the asura body of the Killer King, he still seemed as tiny as an infant.

(The difference in strength and physique is tough to overcome, in that case…)

“Transform again!” Feng Lin roared. Wind flowed around him as he suddenly expanded from 100 meters to 300 meters—at the same height as the Killer King.

He brandished his metal cudgel and rushed over.

Feng Lin had personally seen the scene where Sun Wukong had wreaked havoc in the underworld. With a cudgel in his hand, he stood up against an entire army consisting of tens of thousands of ghosts and demons and ripped through them with invincibility.

Although Feng Lin only watched from the side and didn’t manage to fully comprehend the divine charm in Sun Wukong’s moves, it was sufficient to deepen his comprehension of the Great Sage Cudgel Arts. With a wave of his cudgel, its shadows filled the sky and engulfed the giant asura.

Bang, bang, bang!

His cudgel arts were exquisite to the extreme, containing countless transformations. It smashed heavily against the Killer King’s head, knocking him down to the ground.

(Good chance!)

Feng Lin lunged over as he continued to attack, causing the 300 meters tall asura giant to tremble violently as the Killer King screamed in pain.

“How can I be defeated in the hands of a brat like you?” The Killer King was suppressed by Feng Lin’s ferocious attacks and had no chance to retaliate. He could only howl in anger.

“Three heads six arms!” The Killer King felt extremely sullen. With a vigorous shake, he transformed into an asura with three heads and six arms.

His six arms abruptly shot out, blasting apart the cudgel shadows that filled the sky.

Feng Lin was also forced to retreat.

“Three heads six arms!” When he saw the strange appearance of the Killer King, Feng Lin also transformed. He was now a golden monkey with three heads and six arms, wielding a total of three cudgels.

Both of them then lunged at each other.

BOOM!

Each of the Killer King’s six arms was armed with a different weapon. A fork, a saber, a sword, etc. He clashed against Feng Lin, causing the sounds of it to echo out unceasingly.

The two of them were like giant primordial gods from the myths as they fought each other. The shockwaves they produced completely demolished everything in their surroundings.

“Grow, grow, grow!” After a long time and still having no victory in sight, the Killer King howled madly. His body expanded again, becoming 1,000 meters tall asura.

“Transform, transform, transform!” Feng Lin’s body shook as he transformed, also becoming a 1,000 meters tall ape that was capable of extreme destruction.

The two gigantic figures clashed again.

(You can grow, I can transform!)

As their sizes grew, the amount of strength they could wield naturally increased as well.

The eighteenth level of hell was completely destroyed.

Next was the seventeenth level, sixteenth level, fifteenth level…

These levels of hell were destroyed and the millions of ghosts and demons here all perished under the aftershock; their souls scattered for eternity.

Their fight soon reached a climax; neither was willing to give up, and they unleashed their full power.

A long time later, the two giant figures finally separated.

The Ultimate Killer King stared fixedly at Feng Lin. “What mythological path are you on exactly? Why your spirit appearance is that of a monkey?!”

Feng Lin coldly laughed but he didn’t reply.

The Killer King snorted coldly. “Although you already broke seven levels of my hell, there are still eleven levels left. I want to see how long you can persist. Today, I’m going to grind your heart until your spirit force dries up and let you rot in here forever, severed from all chances of reincarnation!”

He stood in the air and peered down imperiously at Feng Lin; his eyes filled with a cruel killing intent like how he was watching an ant he was about to crush to death.

Feng Lin drew in a deep breath, his face as calm as ever. “Do you know of a cudgel technique that falls from the sky?”

“Huh?” The Killer King didn’t even react in time; at the next moment, he only saw a metal cudgel rapidly growing larger in his field of vision.

The golden monkey leaped and arched his back like a bent bow. All of a sudden, the entirety of his strength was transferred into the metal cudgel as he slammed down heavily with it.

The speed of this attack was incomparably quick, but it appeared exceptionally slow on the surface, slamming down bit by bit and causing a visual illusion.

Heart Monkey Force, boundless empowerment!

His strength was enhanced by two times, three times,… ten times…!

The power in the strike was enhanced to the max. The cudgel was also like a giant pillar, causing destruction everywhere it passed by.

The eleventh level of hell, destroyed!

The tenth level, destroyed!

The ninth level, destroyed!

…..

Destruction! Destruction! Destruction!

Under the power of that strike, everything broke apart as the surroundings were completely devastated. The eighteen levels of hell was penetrated through, and the demons and ghosts within all turned to dust.

(What are demons and ghosts? What are painted beauties? What are bladed mountains and sea of fire? What are devious traps? They would never be able to block this heavenfall cudgel strike!)

…

The golden monkey walked while wielding his metal cudgel. In area ten thousand miles around him, everything was purged!
