A brand new attribute appeared before his eyes, causing Feng Lin to be stunned.
Vitality stats: 10.1!
It instantly broke through the huge barrier of 10, reaching two digits. This was a higher level in the food chain.
Although he hadn't reached the transcendent level, he was already an existence at the top of the food chain in ordinary life planets. He was a hegemon with no natural enemies.
Only the blue whale from the Ancient Earth Era and the tyrannosaurus rex from the Jurassic Era could have such immense vitality stats.
This also meant that although Feng Lin looked like a human now, he could already be considered a human-shaped tyrannosaurus rex!
Feng Lin himself didn't dare to believe it.
Before this, his vitality stats had reached 5.6 and he thought that he was already strong enough.
He didn't expect that after breaking through to interstellar cultivator, his vitality stats would almost double, directly breaking through 10.
As expected of an interstellar cultivator. The difference between an interstellar cultivator and a cultivator apprentice was like heaven and earth.
Once he succeeded, he would be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. His future would be limitless.
With such an increase in vitality stats, Feng Lin didn't have the feeling of his strength surging. Instead, there was a wondrous feeling. It was like an instinct hidden deep in his body had been awakened.
Fish had scales and could swim in the water.
Birds had wings and could soar in the sky.
Different living creatures had innate abilities. This wondrous feeling was like an innate instinct of humans, hidden deep in their bodies and forgotten for a long time. As they evolved into interstellar cultivators, their instincts were awakened.
Although it was only a blurry feeling and he couldn't grasp it for now, it was absolutely real.
It was like how fish could swim and birds could fly. Once an instinct was awakened, it wouldn't be forgotten.
It was just that Feng Lin couldn't find a way to grasp this instinct for now.
Feng Lin calmed his heart and sensed his body, once again familiarizing himself with his evolved body.
His vitality stats had broken through to 10.0. It wasn't just an increase in strength and speed. It was also a kind of control.
He felt that he had entered a wondrous realm. He could clearly sense the strength of each and every muscle in his body. He could control them according to his will, channeling his strength to every part of his body.
Before this, Feng Lin felt that strength was like fire. It focused on accumulating power and unleashing it in an instant.
But now, he felt that strength was like water. It was incomparably gentle and could change according to his will. Once it accumulated power, it would immediately transform into a majestic flood, destroying everything before it with unstoppable force.
His strength was a combination of toughness and gentleness, and he could control it as he pleased.
In primitive times, humans did not have the sharp claws and fangs of wild beasts, nor did they have strong muscles and bones. They were born weak, but they were able to become the overlords of Earth in the end because they were good at using every bit of their strength, not wasting anything. They used their wisdom to create tools, thus defeating the strong and standing at the top of the food chain.
Controlling power was the simplest and strongest instinct of life.
Hah!
Feng Lin suddenly exhaled and opened his right hand's fingers, grabbing at the air.
The tiny muscles on his fingers vibrated at high speed for thousands of times in an instant, actually pulling the invisible air to quickly gather at the center of his palm, forming a cyclone that could be seen with the naked eye. It rotated at high speed and made a buzzing sound.
Feng Lin clenched his fist and punched out.
Boom!
Waves of Qi surged, and a powerful force burst forth through the air, seemingly shattering the space. With a loud bang, the remaining force of the attack smashed into the metal wall like a sledgehammer, leaving behind a conspicuous fist mark.
Hiss!
Feng Lin drew in a deep breath like a whale sucking in water. His chest puffed up like a giant elephant, and with a loud 'ha', he suddenly exhaled. A beam of white light shot out from his mouth, and with a swishing sound, a hole appeared in the ground.
A white mark that could be seen with the naked eye was left in the air, only dissipating after a long time.
Exerting force through the air, exhaling to injure others.
Feng Lin had a clearer idea of what his awakened instincts were. He started to practice his martial arts.
He punched and kicked. Even the most ordinary Hong Fist was now displayed by Feng Lin. His punches and kicks stirred up the air, forming a tornado that could be seen with the naked eye. It was as sharp as a blade, formlessly injuring others.
Feng Lin's moves had clearly reached the level of being able to leave his body and injure others through the air.
From Hong Fist, Eight Extremities Fist, Taiji Fist … these ancient martial arts from Earth, to the Vajra Subduing Devil Fist, an interstellar genetic martial art, Feng Lin displayed them one by one. Hurricanes revolved around him, and the phenomenon was shocking.
After performing over twenty sets of fist techniques in a single breath, Feng Lin's face didn't turn red, and he wasn't panting. This displayed his extraordinary stamina.
Was this a true interstellar cultivator?
Feng Lin stared at his hands in a daze, feeling a sense of absent-mindedness in his heart.
If one didn't reach this realm, they wouldn't be able to understand the wondrous feeling of life evolving by leaps and bounds.
All living creatures in the universe were in a food chain that had no beginning and no end. The evolution of life was the process of continuously climbing up the food chain.
If one didn't want to be eaten by others and wanted to eat others instead, they could only evolve. They had to keep evolving until they became the man at the top of the food chain!
After becoming an interstellar cultivator, Feng Lin had no idea how much his strength and speed had increased.
But after some probing, he was clear that he now had absolute control over his life's instincts. He could use every strand of energy in his body as he pleased, and he could use them in the most reasonable and efficient manner.
For the same amount of energy, an interstellar cultivator would be at least three times stronger than an apprentice cultivator.
Let alone the fact that the starting vitality stat of an apprentice was 1, while the starting vitality stat of an interstellar cultivator was 10. The strength of an interstellar cultivator was at least ten times that of an apprentice cultivator.
The difference in vitality stat was like the difference between the heavens and the earth. Even numbers wouldn't be able to make up for it.
The leap in vitality stat allowed the strength and recovery speed of an interstellar cultivator to far surpass that of an apprentice cultivator.
No matter how many apprentices there were, as long as they didn't use high-end technology, even if an interstellar cultivator was trapped in a sea of people, they would still be able to escape easily.
Feng Lin had already figured out his true strength. With absolute control over his strength, he could allow the force of his moves to break free from the restraints of his body. He could manipulate the air to unleash his attacks, creating a force that could hit a bull across a mountain.
This made up for his flaw of only being able to fight in close combat.
Naturally, the wonders of an interstellar cultivator weren't limited to this. He still had to continue exploring.
These were just the changes in his body's basic strength. Feng Lin turned his gaze to his transcendent powers.
Transcendent powers originated from mythological genes.
Feng Lin looked inwardly at his body and saw the changes in his genes.
An astral river connected the three golden constellations together. It was like a bridge that spanned across the sea of stars, forming a triangular structure.
A triangle was the most stable structure, establishing the most stable foundation for a mythological path.
These three genes were like the branches of a tree, forming the beginning of a genetic tree.
By taking this step, Feng Lin was undoubtedly on the correct path of transcendence.
Feng Lin's will locked onto the newly evolved gene as information flowed out.
Gene: Stone Monkey Gene
Grade: Mutated Primeval Gene
Strengthening Tally: 1
Ability: Stone body and iron bones, boundless strength, invulnerable to swords and spears, impervious to fire and water.
It was actually a mutated primeval gene!
The Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene were both low-grade basic genes. The Stone Monkey Gene they produced was actually a mutated gene, only below perfect-grade genes.
This was something Feng Lin didn't expect.
The majority of genes were ordinary genes. Although there were differences in their abilities, their attributes were usually similar.
Lightning Gene and Windthunder Gene, Magma Gene and Flame Gene, Ice Gene and Snow Wind Gene …
However, mutated genes were different. The gene itself had undergone a mysterious mutation that couldn't be replicated. Its abilities were usually unique, possessing mystical powers that other genes didn't have.
What kind of ability did this Stone Monkey Gene have that could be considered a mutated gene?
Feng Lin felt puzzled. He pondered about the abilities of the Stone Monkey Gene. Stone body and iron bones, boundless strength, invulnerable to swords and spears, impervious to fire and water.
Stone body and iron bones, this referred to the toughness of the body, indestructible.
However, many genes had this characteristic. It was a common characteristic of body-strengthening genes. For example, the Vajra Subduing Devil Fist awakened the Vajra Gene was a similar gene.
Boundless strength, this referred to great strength. Both the Giant Gene and Ferocious Tiger Gene had this characteristic.
Invulnerable to swords and spears, this referred to the toughness of the skin, as though it was forged from metal, unafraid of swords and spears. Copper Skin Gene, Iron Cloak Gene, Metal Gene … many body-strengthening genes had similar characteristics.
In that case, there was only one …
Impervious to fire and water!
What did this mean?
What did fire and water refer to?
Feng Lin didn't think that this was ordinary water and fire. As long as it was a body-strengthening gene, it would be able to resist the invasion of water and the burning of fire to a certain extent.
There must be a deeper meaning behind this. It definitely wasn't as simple as the literal meaning.
When Feng Lin's will continued to delve deeper into the gene, more and more genetic information appeared, unraveling his puzzlement.
