Chapter 289: Breakthrough and Shock

“This…”

Lin Feng was very shocked. He had never had such an experience. After he mastered the Tidal Combat Body, no matter who he faced, he was almost always without match.

It was unbelievable that he could strike the Canopy with all his might, only for there to not even be a trace of movement.

The Canopy was still intact, but Lin Feng did not stop. The Tidal Combat Body in his entire body erupted in a frenzy. The terrifying power contained in his cells surged like a tsunami.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Again and again, Lin Feng’s 260-meter Tidal Combat Body unleashed the immense power in his body in a frenzy, attempting to break the Canopy thousands of kilometers above.

About half an hour later, Lin Feng stopped.

He looked at the still intact Canopy, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face. Nothing he did could shake the Canopy at all.

It had to be considered that although Lin Feng had only undergone a second life transition for his Tidal Combat Body, in terms of pure strength, it far exceeded any Sage. Even demon emperors rarely surpassed Lin Feng in strength.

But even so, with Lin Feng’s strength, after attacking wildly for half an hour, he was still unable to affect the Canopy in any way. It seemed like this Canopy was indeed not simple.

Perhaps, only after Lin Feng underwent three life transitions, four life transitions, or even became a planetary lifeform could he break the Canopy completely.

Although he could not break the Canopy, it was within Lin Feng’s expectations. He leaned close to the Canopy, and through the translucent Canopy, he could see the infinite cosmos outside.

It was cold, dark, and its visibility did not extend very far. However, the vastness of it far exceeded any wilderness, river, or ocean Lin Feng had ever seen.

This was the cosmos, where Longbetham had come from.

“Longbetham, how far is your home from here?” Lin Feng suddenly asked.

“My home is in the distant Borneo Galaxy. It is too far from here. Back then, I had wandered the universe for a very long time, so it was not possible to estimate the distance at all.”

Longbetham also seemed to miss his home. There was a hint of melancholy in its tone.

“Your home must be very beautiful and peaceful, with highly advanced technology. Furthermore, the lifespan of mechanical lifeforms like you wouldn’t be a problem either. It must be much nicer than our world…”

Lin Feng was genuinely envious. As a mechanical lifeform, Longbetham’s technology must be highly advanced. Moreover, Longbetham had wandered the universe for so long, and its lifespan seemed to have no limit throughout it all.

The civilization in Longbetham must be very beautiful, highly developed, and far exceeded the current human civilization, which could only compete with those dire beasts in the Outland for living space.

There must be a world of difference between the two.

“Beautiful? Peaceful?”

Longbetham laughed flatly and continued, “My home has never known peace. There is perpetual war and killing. In order to expand, we can only keep fighting, killing, and destroying. My civilization has already destroyed at least thousands of powerful civilizations.

“There will never be peace and harmony in the universe. War and killing are the eternal themes of the universe. That applies indiscriminate of technological civilizations or cultivation civilizations.”

It turned out that the law of the jungle was forefront in the universe too. The mechanical civilization only came to be as powerful as they were today by destroying thousands of powerful civilizations.

Then, could this Canopy be here to protect this world?

“Who set up the Canopy, and what’s the purpose?” Lin Feng muttered softly.

He did not know, and not even Longbetham knew. Perhaps, only when someone broke through the Canopy in the future could they learn something.

Lin Feng had come to the Canopy, but he did not want to leave just yet. He could not leave empty-handed.

He came to the Canopy to see if he could break the Canopy, and to see if he could obtain anything that could allow his mental power to break through.

Since he could not break the Canopy, Lin Feng would have to try cultivating mental power.

The Canopy was faintly discernible, translucent, and very miraculous. Even Lin Feng’s full-power strike from the Tidal Combat Body could not cause any damage to it.

Hence, Lin Feng simply mobilized his mental power and slowly extended it over the Canopy.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the Canopy shook slightly. At the same time, Lin Feng’s mental power seemed to have been stimulated. A torrent of information was transmitted to his mind through Lin Feng’s mental power.

Boom.

Lin Feng’s mind shook slightly. A magnificent and spectacular scene appeared in his mind.

In the pitch-black cosmos, a violent explosion occurred. Stars were destroyed, and galaxies shattered. All the planets in the galaxies spanning billions of light-years were reduced to dust, completely decimated.

Lin Feng was extremely shocked by this huge explosion and destruction. Even his thoughts seemed to have stagnated for a moment.

After the universe exploded, fragments and dust scattered everywhere. There was no light in the eternal universe, no color, no life, nothing but cold darkness.

It was as if this darkness would last for a long, long time, until eternity…

Suddenly, one day, a beam of light appeared in the cold universe. This beam of light grew larger and larger, until it filled the entire galaxy. Incredibly, countless stars and planets appeared slowly out of thin air. action

Lin Feng did not know if it was an illusion, but then, in short, an abnormally dazzling light suddenly condensed, and gradually formed a planet.

The ordinary planet lay within the cold and dark universe. It seemed incomparably lonely.

After the planet appeared, another beam of light enveloped the planet, somehow forming a translucent light.

“The Canopy?”

Lin Feng jolted awake abruptly. In that instant, he felt as if he had personally experienced that Big Bang. Even the Mental Power Sphere in his mind shattered at that moment.

However, after shattering, it condensed again. After repeating the shattering process for a few times, the Mental Power Sphere became smaller, but more condensed. There was even a faint luster.

The Mental Power Sphere shone brightly. This was the characteristic of the third level of the Bemond Mental Guidance Technique!

Unknowingly, Lin Feng’s Mental Guidance Technique had already reached the third level.

In the third level of the Mental Guidance Technique, apart from the Mental Power Sphere becoming more condensed and the mental power becoming stronger, its greatest characteristic was that mental power could integrate one’s own will.

Right now, every trace of Lin Feng’s mental power could integrate with Lin Feng’s own will. This way, Lin Feng could even use his mental power to forcefully control others without using illusions to entrap them.

This was what’s truly domineering without comparison. Even a single mental storm from Lin Feng could now affect and even forcefully control ordinary demons!

His mental power had broken through, and Lin Feng could also begin to prepare for the third life transitions without having to worry that his mental power would not be able to condense the combat body. However, this was not what shocked Lin Feng the most.

What shocked Lin Feng the most was the memory that appeared in his mind just now. Did the planet he was on appear to have been artificially created?
