Chapter 503: Approaching

Apart from the time spent traveling, there were still a few years until the Big Bang. More and more people arrived. However, those who arrived were basically all advanced planetary lifeforms or elementary planetary lifeforms.

There were almost no cultivators who were ultimate planetary lifeforms in sight.

Lin Feng even began to suspect if those Divine Kings and Grand Emperors would not come after all.

“Heh, Your Highness Lin Feng, none of the Grand Emperors who are ultimate planetary lifeforms are in a hurry, let alone the Divine Kings. They are different from us.”

“How are they different?” Lin Feng was very curious.

Raymond pondered for a moment, as if considering his words. Finally, he said in a low voice, “Those Grand Emperors will usually be inside the Big Bang. Not just anyone can charge in there. At least, if Venerables like us charge in, we’d be good as dead. To us, the inner region is practically a forbidden zone. We can only stay at the periphery.

“As for those Divine Kings, they have even less to worry about. Their target can only be the core level! The Divine Kings will be in the core level of the Big Bang. There are countless treasures inside, but the core level is enormous. Moreover, no one dares to enter except Divine Kings, not even Grand Emperors. These Divine Kings can enter the core region at any time, and there’s no need for them to occupy spots in such a hurry. Therefore, it’s not too late for them to enter even after the Big Bang.

“Cultivators like us in the periphery have to race against time. Although the periphery is also very vast, there are also many cultivators. Sometimes, we will even fight over new substances. That’s why we rushed over so early to occupy spots.”

Lin Feng nodded. He already understood. It was not that no Grand Emperors or Divine Kings would come, but that the Grand Emperors and Divine Kings were not in a hurry. It was not too late for them to enter after the Big Bang had begun.

However, as more and more cultivators arrived, some Grand Emperors finally arrived as well.

Among them, there was a burly man who was more than ten meters tall, like a small giant. This was not a combat body, but his true form.

“This is a Grand Emperor of the Giants. He has boundless strength, has very good innate talent, and has a stronger combat body than ordinary cultivators.”

Lin Feng had also heard of the Giants. It was rumored that the Giants were born with boundless strength and innate talent. They were also rather active in the universe.

This Grand Emperor Giant was also rather domineering. He charged in directly and finally reached about half a light-year away from the cosmic membrane, as if he did not fear the impact of the Big Bang.

Apart from the Grand Emperor Giant, other Grand Emperors came one after another as well. Among them were some behemoths that were not cultivators.

This behemoth looked like a flying dragon, but the other half of its body was somewhat like an elephant. The dragon’s head and elephant’s body were very peculiar.

Raymond’s expression tightened. He said in a low voice, “That’s Grand Emperor Naga. I didn’t expect Grand Emperor Naga would actually come. Heh, look, when the Grand Emperor Giant saw Grand Emperor Naga, he lost that domineering air. He appears vigilant and nervous instead.”

“Grand Emperor Naga?”

Lin Feng felt that this Grand Emperor Naga did not seem to be a human cultivator. Although the universe was vast, most cultivators had humanoid bodies. Even if there was a difference, the difference was very slight. They definitely would not appear completely different like Grand Emperor Naga.

“Grand Emperor Naga is not a cultivator, but a cosmic behemoth! It can also be considered a devouring lifeform.”

“A devouring lifeform?”

Lin Feng was shocked. This was the first time he had seen a devouring lifeform become a Grand Emperor. Moreover, it had come here in such a bold manner. Wasn’t Grand Emperor Naga intimidated by so many cultivators?

“Do you find it very strange that devouring lifeforms can also come here? Haha, the reason is actually very simple. Although devouring lifeforms can devour planets, and devour everything, they are still somewhat different from fiends. Some devouring lifeforms also have intelligence. Although they also devour, they can devour reasonably. For example, they can devour some barren planets, some planets that are about to be destroyed, and so on. This would not violate the bottom line of cultivators.

“These devouring lifeforms even formed a large faction in the universe called the Behemoth Alliance!”

Realization dawned on Lin Feng. “There’s actually a Behemoth Alliance? I thought it’s just a rumor. I didn’t expect it to be real.”

Lin Feng had heard of the Behemoth Alliance. It was rumored that there were a few behemoths in the Behemoth Alliance, all of whom were Divine Kings. They were very terrifying, and it was also a first-rate faction in the universe.

“That’s right. Of course there is a Behemoth Alliance. The rumors are not groundless. Although the Behemoth Alliance is an alliance, its organization is not very strict. It is actually quite lax, and is just an organization that exists to protect the behemoths. Moreover, the Behemoth Alliance has always kept a low profile, and will not easily enter conflicts with cultivators.

“This Grand Emperor Naga is a Grand Emperor of the Behemoth Alliance. Moreover, his true form is a Naga behemoth. It’s very terrifying, and has devoured countless stars on the verge of destruction. Its strength is probably comparable to only the top Grand Emperors among cultivators.”

No wonder the Grand Emperor Giant was so nervous when he saw Grand Emperor Naga. The reason was very simple. The Grand Empeor Giant was not a match for Grand Emperor Naga.

During this period, Lin Feng saw all kinds of cultivators. There were teams, lone rangers, itinerant cultivators, and major factions. Raymond and the others seemed to be used to it, and kept resting with their eyes closed.

Eventually, Lin Feng could not be bothered to watch anymore. Up until now, he had seen too many Grand Emperors and too many Venerables. On the contrary, there were quite few elementary planetary cultivators, and Lin Feng was one of them.

The reason was very simple. The Big Bang was still too dangerous for cultivators who were elementary planetary lifeforms. If not for Lin Feng’s planetary Laws, Raymond probably would not have invited Lin Feng either.

There were still a few years until the Big Bang. Lin Feng simply closed his eyes and began to study the combat body.

His combat body had already reached 200,000 kilometers. Although it had increased by a lot, it had been decades since Lin Feng had cultivated his combat body properly.

As for attaining the consummate combat body, there was no knowing how long it would take. At least for now, Lin Feng had yet to sense any hint of consummation.

It was simply too difficult to cultivate a planetary combat body to the consummate state. No wonder even Divine King Bemond told Lin Feng not to be discouraged. Back then, Divine King Bemond had also transformed with a consummate combat body into a planetary lifeform. However, he had not cultivated a planetary consummate combat body either. This was also Divine King Bemond’s greatest regret until now.

Lin Feng did not want to have this regret. Although his progress was slow, this Big Bang was an opportunity. Even if he did not obtain any special new substances, Lin Feng had only cultivated for more than a hundred years. He still had a long time ahead, and could take his time to attempt cultivating the consummate combat body.

At this point of his cultivation, Lin Feng’s mentality was already very calm.

In Lin Feng’s calm mentality, several years pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. The date of the Big Bang gradually approached. Within a light-year of the cosmic membrane, all the cultivators slowly began to make preparations.
