94: Evolution of the Alien Queen

The moment that dark golden, starlit crystal appeared in the Spirit Beast Space, the entire space seemed to freeze!

Time, space, energy... all rules seemed to be put on pause!

Immediately following was a terrifying energy tide, like the Big Bang, erupting with a roar!

The dark golden radiance no longer flowed gently but, like a breached stellar river, violently swept through the entire Spirit Beast Space!

Countless tiny starlight points frantically flickered, collided, and annihilated, releasing an unimaginable, immense stream of information about life and rules!

"Roar...!!!"

The Alien Queen let out a soul-shattering roar!

It wasn't a cry of pain, but an extreme ecstasy, a primal joy of her life essence being fulfilled!

Her massive body was like a bottomless black hole, greedily and frantically devouring the surging dark golden stellar river!

The Queen's jet-black exoskeleton, covering her entire body, began to undergo visible drastic changes the moment it touched the star marrow's radiance!

The deep black seemed to be injected with life, beginning to flow and transform, wriggling and reorganizing like a living entity.

Layer upon layer of intricate, dark golden patterns, like a cosmic star map, began to spread from the core of the Queen's spine, rapidly covering her entire body!

These patterns were complex and profound; each flicker seemed to stir the vast star marrow energy within the Spirit Beast Space.

On the Queen's ferocious head, the originally smooth bone crown began to grow sharp, dark golden crystalline spikes, like a regal crown. Within these spikes, countless miniature starlight points flowed ceaselessly, emitting an awe-inspiring and mysterious aura.

Her iconic inner jaw also became covered with a layer of flowing dark golden metallic luster; each friction created subtle spatial ripples.

The most astonishing change occurred on the Queen's back.

Her originally smooth carapace dramatically bulged and deformed, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of bone growth and the hum of energy coalescing. Two pairs of massive, dark golden light wings, composed of pure energy and as brilliant as a stellar river, suddenly pierced through her exoskeleton and unfurled with a thunderous roar!

These light wings were not physical entities but were composed of countless flowing, rotating dark golden stardust and leaping starlight points. Tiny specks of light constantly annihilated and regenerated at their edges, emitting a vast, ancient, and majestic aura, as if capable of bearing the starry sky!

The moment the light wings unfurled, an indescribable rule-based pressure, deeper than the Annihilation Tyrant's and closer to the world's origin, swept through the entire Spirit Beast Space like an invisible tsunami!

Before this pressure, which originated from the life level and the core of rules, the Annihilation Tyrant let out a low whimper of submission, its massive body involuntarily cowering even lower.

All the ordinary Aliens were frozen in place, as if solidified, transmitting an instinctive reverence from the depths of their genes.

Lin Feng's consciousness body watched all this in shock.

He could clearly feel that the Queen's body was being completely reshaped by the vast energy and rule information contained within the star marrow!

Those dark golden patterns, that star crown, those stellar light wings... all pointed to a brand-new, unimaginably powerful rule force... a power intimately connected with stars, with the universe, and with the origin of life!

"Stars... or... life... or... void?"

Lin Feng couldn't accurately judge, but he was certain that the rules the Queen was awakening, their status and potential, absolutely far surpassed the 'Annihilation' power inherited by the Annihilation Tyrant!

This star marrow was indeed a priceless treasure!

At the same time, a vast and pure energy, like a surging river, continuously poured into Lin Feng's body through the vital contract connection between the Queen and him!

This energy was not simple professional energy but the power of life's origin, containing the mysteries of the star marrow and having been initially transformed!

It washed over Lin Feng's limbs and bones, nourished every one of his cells, and even began to infiltrate and warm his newly awakened, still fragile spiritual origin!

Lin Feng felt as if his body was soaking in a hot spring, or as if countless gentle hands were massaging the depths of his soul.

Fatigue was swept away, his mind was clearer than ever before, and the mental power that had been depleted by last night's battle and summoning was recovering, growing, and condensing at an unprecedented rate!

The realm barrier he had stagnated at, the Silver-level peak, began to loosen under the washing of this vast and pure original energy, emitting faint sounds like cracking ice!

The barrier from Silver-level to Gold-level seemed to open a sliver for him at this moment!

And what pried open this crack was the feedback from the Queen devouring the star marrow!

"Is this... the backlash of rule power? The evolution of the vital beast driving the host's sublimation?"

An indescribable excitement surged in Lin Feng's heart.

He no longer hesitated, immediately unifying his divine sense, and fully guided the vast and pure original energy within his body, impacting that solid realm barrier!

The luxury car continued to travel through the neon-lit city, with the bustling mundane world outside the window.

Inside the car, Lin Feng leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, his breathing even, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Only his clenched fists, and the extremely faint yet peculiar energy fluctuations around him that seemed to resonate with the stars, indicated the earth-shattering transformation happening within his body.

The "key" sent by the Dark Council had been inserted into the lock.

The gears of power began to turn, and the trajectory of fate quietly slid towards a more magnificent, yet also more perilous and unpredictable, direction.

The radiance of the star marrow flowed on the Queen's body, also illuminating Lin Feng's path to the Gold-level.

And beneath this radiance, the intertwined shadows of the two major organizations silently spread.

The luxury car smoothly traversed the glittering night, the city's hustle and bustle outside the window seemingly isolated by an invisible barrier.

Inside the car, Lin Feng leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, as if asleep.

But within his body, a storm, triggered by the star marrow and sweeping through both soul and flesh, was reaching its climax!

Within the Spirit Beast Space, the vast energy of the star marrow was not only reshaping the Alien Queen but also, through the bridge of the vital contract, transforming into a surging torrent of life's origin, washing over every corner of Lin Feng's body.

This power was pure, ancient, and full of vitality, far beyond ordinary professional energy.

It was like the gentlest carving knife, yet also like the wildest furnace, surging ceaselessly within Lin Feng's body.

With his consciousness immersed within his body, Lin Feng clearly "saw" the drastic changes in his core of power!

That yellow energy core, originally representing the Silver-level peak and surrounded by ten brilliant mysterious runes, was now undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

Under the washing of rule power, the energy core's light, like molten gold being ignited, rapidly became deep and condensed!

The core's color continuously deepened, from bright yellow to orange-gold, and then to a pure and noble dark golden hue that seemed to absorb all light!

Finally, the entire core completely transformed into a rounded crystal, the size of a baby's fist, glowing with dark golden light throughout!

But it was the internal structure of this newly formed dark golden energy core that was truly astonishing!

Deep within the core, there was not chaos or a pure energy flow, but rather a miniature, nascent cosmic singularity!

Countless tiny, starlight-flickering dark golden energy particles were rapidly rotating, colliding, annihilating, and regenerating around an invisible singularity at the very center of the core!

Each rotation and collision erupted with faint rule fragments, yet they contained the profound mysteries of stellar birth and death.

These rule fragments, like living entities, spontaneously wove and combined within the core, forming extremely subtle yet incredibly profound dark golden Veins (meridians/veins).

These veins were not static either, but like living vines, slowly growing and spreading within the core, eventually vaguely forming an extremely complex figure, full of the rhythm of life!

The figure looked exactly like Lin Feng.

And from the figure, a trace of rule power, originating from the same source as the Alien Queen, surged forth...
