Permanent Martial Arts

"What is he doing?"

"He seems to be using the energy in the Magical Core to evolve."

"Using the energy of the Magical Core? Damn it. We invested so much money and have been researching how to use the energy of the Magical Core all this time, but we made no progress at all. He's just an ordinary person. How can he use the energy of the Magical Core?"

"Perhaps it's because he was once exposed to the radiation of the Magical Core, but survived, and thus mastered the method to use the energy of the Magical Core. However, our research needs scientific data to support it."

"Could this be how he became so powerful?"

The members of the Tona family watched helplessly as Lin Feng absorbed the energy of the Magical Core in a frenzy. His body kept expanding. Although it did not expand very quickly, it kept expanding.

Originally, some people suggested joining forces with the other eight great families to take more forceful measures against Lin Feng. However, not many people responded. What a joke. How major must a matter be for the nine great families to join forces? The nine major families probably would not cooperate even if the Empire was destroyed.

Moreover, what kind of forces would they need to use to deal with the current Lin Feng? How many stellar-level battleships and black hole-level battleships would they have to invest? On top of that, they needed fortress cannons. Where could they get so many fortress cannons?

Most importantly, even if there were so many stellar-level battleships and black hole-level battleships, they had to be able to injure Lin Feng. If they could not deal with Lin Feng, how could they clean up the mess?

As for the empire's lethal weapon, such a lethal weapon could not be used casually. A single family or a few families could forget about using such a lethal weapon.

Only when the nine families all agreed, and all had common interests could such a weapon of mass destruction be used. Things were far from reaching that point yet. At the very least, apart from the Tona family and the Oliman family, which had suffered acute losses, the other seven families were still mainly watching from the sidelines.

They definitely would not agree to use the weapon of mass destruction.

The members of the Tona family were dejected, but Lin Feng was already undergoing the seventh life transition. Relying on the energy of the Magical Core, Lin Feng's seventh life transition went very smoothly.

In fact, after seven life transitions, Lin Feng could already vaguely "touch" the rules of this world, or rather, the essence of this world.

This was rather important. This proved that Lin Feng was about to reach his limit. There was a limit to any world. For example, in some small chiliocosms, the limit was the Three-star Supremacy.

This small chiliocosm also had a limit. He did not know if it was eight life transitions, nine life transitions, or even higher.

Moreover, the two Magical Cores contained a trace of the rules of the small chiliocosm, as well as cataclysmic power. These were all crucial to Lin Feng's search for the Chiliocosm Core Space.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Lin Feng had to reach the limit of this world first. Only then did he have a chance to rely on the Magical Core to "sense" the Chiliocosm Core Space and enter it.

"The cataclysmic power is becoming richer and richer. The Magical Core is indeed the key to triggering the Epochal Cataclysm in this small chiliocosm!"

Lin Feng's expression became even more solemn. He could not allow the Epochal Cataclysm to erupt. The rules of this small chiliocosm were too terrifying. The small chiliocosm was simply too powerful, and was not inferior to Lin Feng's true body.

If an Epochal Cataclysm erupted in such a world, even Lin Feng's soul was not absolutely confident that he could survive.

Hence, Lin Feng had to speed up on getting the remaining seven Magical Core.

"Next, the Clay family!"

Hence, Lin Feng flew back into the battleship and rushed towards the Clay family. The Tona family could finally heave a sigh of relief.

Even though they were a little unwilling, the Tona family still reported everything here publicly in the Empire Council established by the nine great families.

…

Lin Feng successfully obtained the third and fourth Magical Cores. This time, Lin Feng spent two Magical Cores before finally reaching the eighth life transition.

After eight life transitions, Lin Feng could already clearly sense the limit of this world, which was the "ceiling". It was probably nine life transitions.

Lin Feng's life transition was far from the genetic evolution of those Genetic Soldiers. The two shared some similarities in the early stages, and were similar in theory.

However, in the later stages, the gap became greater and greater. Genetic Soldiers were ultimately Genetic Soldiers, while Lin Feng had a cultivation technique that allowed him to undergo a comprehensive life metamorphosis.

However, even among Genetic Soldiers, there did not seem to be any Level 10 entities now. The strongest were at Level Nine.

Nine seemed to be the limit. Nine life transitions was the limit of this small chiliocosm.

Lin Feng had a vague feeling that if he wanted to achieve nine life transitions, he would have to collect the remaining five Magical Cores. Only the power of the five Magical Cores could help him undergo nine life transitions.

However, as he continuously subdued four major families alone, the nine major families of the Empire also felt a sense of crisis. For the first time, they began to work together on the matter of "Talin".

They were even proposing to use the empire's weapon of mass destruction, galactic-level weapons!

The highest level of the Empire's battleships were black hole-level battleships. There were no galactic-level battleships, but there were galactic-level weapons. This kind of weapon was the Empire's strongest weapon. Powerful to the extreme, it could be considered world-destroying, and could even destroy an entire galaxy.

It was also the Empire's true ace in the hole, and the strongest weapon that they used to dominate the universe!

Perhaps even more terrifying weapons might be developed in the future, but for now, the Empire only had galactic-level weapons.

"I suggest using galactic-level weapons to deal with Talin."

"Dealing with someone, a native citizen of the Empire? Is that really fine?"

"Now is not the time to discuss right or wrong. It's a matter of standpoint. Talin has harmed the overall interests of the Empire."

"What overall interests? Talin wants to obtain all nine Magical Cores. Since we can't get any results from our research, why don't we give the remaining five Magical Cores to Tallinn?"

"That's right. We all know Talin's current opus operandi. He has no intention of overthrowing the ruling system of the Empire, nor does he intend to make things difficult for the nine great families. All he wants are the nine Magical Cores. Moreover, with Talin's current abilities, it isn't difficult for him to become the tenth great family. However, he hasn't. He just wants the Magical Cores. In that case, we can just give them to him."

"There would be no end of disastrous consequences to using galactic-level weapons!"

In the end, the Imperial Council also made the decision not to use galactic weapons, because they all knew very well that Lin Feng had not damaged their foundation. He only wanted to obtain the nine Magical Cores.

Compared to the authority of the nine great families, what were the Magical Cores worth?

Moreover, if Lin Feng cared a little about the Empire's authority and secretly allied with some families, how difficult would it be for him to become the tenth great family of the Empire?

Hence, the nine great families sent representatives to meet Lin Feng, and personally handed the remaining five Magical Cores to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng also made a promise that he would not seize the authority of the nine great families in the Empire. The two parties would stop the tit-for-tat war, and everyone would be happy.

Even though in Lin Feng's opinion, it was really a little boring, he knew that this was the normal choice for the nine great families. Those who would wage war at the slightest incentive and at all costs were undoubtedly the most foolish people.

It was not worth it for the Magical Core!

"I've obtained five Magical Cores. I hope the ninth life transition won't disappoint me!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath. He knew that the ninth life transition was of great importance. This was the limit of this world. In fact, with the nine Magical Cores in hand, he might even be able to sense the Chiliocosm Core Space.

Whether he could complete his goal of descension back then would depend on this.

"Nine life transitions!"

In the next moment, Lin Feng used his Chiliocosm Sovereign-level soul to mobilize the entire universe. Countless black holes, countless stars, and even the magnetic fields of the entire universe enveloped his body.
