Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Not just the others, even Di Esi thought that Lin Shen must have already met with disaster.

Lin Shen's physical strength was indeed high, but faced with such natural forces, even Immortals would probably have a hard time coping.

Furthermore, the abilities of the Asura Ghost were almost approaching that of an Immortal, and the extreme coldness of the dark qi could even enhance the Asura Ghost, making it seem like Lin Shen had no way to survive.

Lin Shen wasn't as badly off as Di Esi thought, as Evolution Theory had made him almost immune to the extreme cold.

The dark qi was a reinforcement for the Asura Ghost, but it was also a boost for Lin Shen, who possessed the Super Base Pattern.

The overwhelming force of the world, drawn into Lin Shen's body, coupled with the Super-Base Recast, meant that even after being weakened, the Asura Ghost's attacks couldn't really harm Lin Shen.

Instead, Lin Shen used its power to roll and tumble all the way to the deepest part of the cave.

At the end of the cave was a pit, and within it was a black well from which all the dark qi in the cave emanated.

At this moment, the black qi from the well still surged out incessantly, making the chill in the space reach its peak.

The cave walls were frozen by this dark qi into a crystal-like substance that was both ice and stone, unimaginably hard.

Above that black well were three fist-sized pet eggs, bobbing up and down in the black smoke.

These three pet eggs were peculiar, one pure black, one pure white, and one half-black, half-white.

Currently, they were being held aloft by the black qi spraying out from the well, tumbling within it as if absorbing the coldness from the dark qi.

Without any hesitation, Lin Shen rushed to the side of the black well and drew out the three pet eggs, grabbing them in his hand.

He stuffed two into his backpack and kept one in his hand, then drew his Scrap Sword and held it against the pet egg, his gaze fixed on the Asura Ghost that had chased him in.

Lin Shen didn't know if the Asura Ghost could understand his intention, but he decided to threaten it first anyway.

To his surprise, the Asura Ghost was quite intelligent. When it saw Lin Shen's action, it immediately stopped, stood opposite him without launching further attacks, and simply glared at Lin Shen fiercely.

It was at this time that Di Esi couldn't hear anything and thought that Lin Shen had already been finished off by the Asura Ghost.

Lin Shen and the Asura Ghost faced off in the cave. Lin Shen was not afraid of the Asura Ghost, as it was not easy for the Asura Ghost to harm him.

However, Lin Shen could also tell that the creature's abilities were probably very close to the Immortal Level. With his own strength, killing the Asura Ghost would be incredibly difficult.

Lin Shen didn't want to kill the Asura Ghost, as there was no great benefit in doing so. If he was lucky, he might get some Reincarnation Ashes, and at most, materials from the body of the Asura Ghost.

For Lin Shen, these items were not essential. He preferred to take the pet eggs and leave.

Of course, the main reason was that he lacked the power to kill the Asura Ghost. The difference in strength was too great.

The Asura Ghost naturally wouldn't let Lin Shen go and, given its high intelligence, it blocked the exit, giving Lin Shen no chance at all.

"Never mind," thought Lin Shen, unable to come up with a plan, he gritted his teeth and charged straight toward the Asura Ghost.

The Asura Ghost roared and raised its sword to chop down on Lin Shen.

Lin Shen lifted the pet egg in his hand to meet the attack, instantly surprising and infuriating the Asura Ghost, who was forced to stop its blade.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Shen powered up his Surfing Step. With a sidestep, a spin, and a back spring, he accelerated continuously through this sequence of moves and bizarrely dashed past the Asura Ghost.

The Asura Ghost turned and pursued, wielding dual swords, the Ghost Shield, and the Ghost Fang Trident, launching a frenzied attack on Lin Shen.

Lin Shen would block if he could, and if he couldn't, he would just have to endure the blows. The power of the Asura Ghost instead pushed him even further away.

The Asura Ghost was incredibly unlucky, never expecting to encounter someone as tough to kill as Lin Shen.

Unable to kill or capture him, the Asura Ghost could only watch helplessly as Lin Shen ran towards the outside, the distance between them growing greater.

The Asura Ghost let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream, and the Ghost Fang Trident burst into a strange glow, stabbing into the void.

Instantly, Lin Shen felt a terrifying suction force coming from behind him, pulling his body to fly backward.

Lin Shen immediately summoned the Contrarian to merge with him, and at the same time, he struck a Surfing Fist behind him.

It was directly the seven consecutive Surfing Fists. The Super Base Pattern absorbed the World's Force from here, supporting him enough to perform the seven consecutive punches.

The Asura Ghost raised its dual swords at the same time, crossing them in a slash. Two different Blade Qi energies fused into one, forming a bizarre half-black half-transparent Blade Qi that instantly cut through the Fist Power of the seven consecutive Surfing Fists as if slicing through tofu.

Bang!

The Blade Qi landed on Lin Shen's body, cleaving it brutally as if he were a cannonball being launched away.

A deep gouge appeared on the carapace on Lin Shen's back, but then instantly restored. The sword slash failed to kill him, and instead, Lin Shen used its force to break free from the suction of the Ghost Fang Trident, shooting out of the cave like a cannonball.

People outside the cave suddenly saw a mass of dark energy gushing out from within. Before they could understand what was happening, they saw a figure flying out like a missile.

Upon closer inspection, it was the guy who had entered the cave to retrieve Pet Eggs with Di Esi and the others.

"Eh, he's still alive?"

"He managed to escape; this guy's strength is really something!"

"What's that in his hand? Damn, Pet Eggs, he actually managed to bring out the Pet Eggs."

Di Esi and Bing Leiya were both shocked and pleased, never expecting Lin Shen to still be alive, and what's more, he'd brought out a Pet Egg with him.

Lin Shen took advantage of his momentum to soar into the sky, aiming for where Di Esi was, and landed on top of a peak.

At that moment, Di Esi had just forced the cold energy out of his body and shattered his way out of an iceberg.

Before Lin Shen could even stabilize himself, the Asura Ghost burst out of the cave and soared into the sky, screaming as it flew at an incredible speed, almost instantly reaching the front of the peak.

Divine light burst from Di Esi's body, and the sky filled with starlight that formed into countless beams of light, hurtling towards the Asura Ghost.

The Asura Ghost, now insane, didn't bother to use the Ghost Fang Trident to counter; it simply used the Ghost Shield to block the sky-full of light beams, while its dual swords clashed and released the half-black half-transparent Blade Qi.

The Blade Qi swept across, instantly shattering all the starlight in its way. In a blink, the Blade Qi was in front of Di Esi and Lin Shen.

Di Esi stretched out his hand, and the countless starlights converged into his palm, turning into a dazzling Starlight Sword, which he furiously swung at the bizarre Blade Qi.

With a crisp snap, the Starlight Sword in Di Esi's hand was directly cut in two, but the Blade Qi didn't stop there and continued to slash down.

Lin Shen had already risen into the sky, while Di Esi's figure dispersed into starlight, avoiding the slash.

As the Blade Qi swept past, the peak was cleaved in half. The Nirvana Beings on the mountain and in the vicinity rose into the sky in horror, scattering in all directions to flee.
