Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 482 - 239: Tier Three Power, Holy Spring Past, First Year of the Old Calendar (Part 2)

Chapter 482: Chapter 239: Tier Three Power, Holy Spring Past, First Year of the Old Calendar (Part 2)

If it were merely a lack of air or an anoxic environment, for a Tier Two Evolver, it would be nothing noteworthy at all.

At least it wouldn’t affect actions in the short term.

But if it’s an ultra-low pressure environment...

All pores dilate, blood vessels rupture, eyeballs protrude, and organs swell and compact!

Even as a Tier Two Life Form, one cannot function normally in such an ultra-low pressure environment.

And this is merely the aura exuded by the opponent!

Fortunately, this feeling lasted less than three seconds.

If it lasted ten times longer, half a minute, Lin Feng would suffer functional impairment, severe internal bleeding in one minute, and shock, on the verge of death, in five minutes.

In this vacuum-like environment, ordinary people couldn’t even last three seconds before falling into a coma due to the sudden hyper negative pressure.

Thankfully, Lin Feng is already a Level 22 Evolver, so even if greatly affected, it only slowed his movements.

And after the aura faded, Lord Bishop’s voice sounded as his eyes gradually dimmed:

"As a remote Gunpowder Ability User, you have no chance of winning within fifty meters of me."

"No need to struggle in vain, if I truly wanted to erase you, I wouldn’t have waited until now."

Lin Feng, having caught his breath, took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily to alleviate the stinging pain and discomfort throughout his body.

This is the sensation of cell death in various parts, like ten thousand tiny silver needles piercing the skin.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, healing and repairing itself in a few breaths.

Lin Feng glanced at the panel in the upper left corner.

Just after being oppressed by the opponent’s aura, his three hundred points of Life Value dropped by twenty points.

Although it only affects when falling below fifty points, these twenty points are almost one-tenth of his Life Value.

And that’s just the oppression of the aura...

If it came to actual combat, just as the opponent said,

As someone skilled in remote suppression, without wearing Power Armor, his melee strength is far weaker than those of the same tier.

Not to mention the opponent is seven whole levels higher, just one step away from the Third Stage.

If the opponent really started fighting, within fifty meters he indeed wouldn’t have any ability to resist or respond.

In fact, in this state, even facing Level 26 Li Hao, the result would be the same.

But the difference is Lin Feng wouldn’t meet Li Hao unprepared, but before the old man in front of him, he forgot to be wary.

Behind this, Li Hao will probably suffer a major setback due to underestimating him in their later confrontation.

Lin Feng thought while remaining silent.

Because he also knew, Bishop Zhang Hui revealing this was not to make a move against him.

More likely it was to warn him that he already grasped his biggest weakness, henceforth he must adhere to his arrangements to help Father Su An fulfill his legacy.

Lin Feng didn’t have much resistance to this, since befriending Father Su An, supporting his rise in the future, and aiding him in ascending to Tier Three Bishop...

By doing so, he would be deepening the internal division and power struggle of the Church, creating space and time for his own growth and development, which aligns with Lin Feng’s interests.

But Lin Feng was more curious about how the opponent knew he wasn’t a Rock-Horned Horse Path Evolver, nor another Alien Evolution,

but a pure Purified Evolver.

Zong Shiyue once said, only a Tier Three King could discern Purity Evolution just with eyes and perception.

After all, the existence of a Tier Three, being powerful, can form energy radiation in the surrounding environment, enough to sense the genetic composition of nearby beings.

Yet, the person before doesn’t seem like an actual Tier Three Bishop.

As the Oasis Deputy Bishop, Zhang Hui couldn’t possibly possess Tier Three strength.

At this moment, the old man opposite also noticed Lin Feng’s doubt, so in a softer tone, he continued:

"The Oasis Key contains Tier Three Holy Spring Water, with it and some Holy Relics, I can temporarily wield part of a Tier Three Bishop’s power."

"As for the price..."

As Bishop Zhang Hui slowly lifted his head, one could see the wrinkles on his face deepen a bit more:

"It’s my remaining lifespan in this frail body."

After coughing a few times, like an elderly bedridden candle in the wind, he gazed at Lin Feng with a faint glow in his eyes:

"Within the Key, there was once a portion of the Master’s power, which disappeared this morning."

"This power would only enter the body of a pure-blooded human as a blessing from the Master."

"So I can conclude that you became a Tier One and Tier Two Evolver via Purity Evolution."

"With your disposition and pursuit, you will inevitably create your own Tier Three Evolution Path through Purity Evolution, and perhaps in the future, you will walk the path to godhood..."

Lin Feng’s breath hitched; he didn’t expect to hear such heretical words from the mouth of a loyal devotee of the Church’s deity.

After all, in a monotheistic Church, any mention of other deities, or becoming godly against the divine, are unacceptable viewpoints.

After saying this, Lord Bishop chuckled, as if laying down some burden, softly explaining:

"Don’t think too much, history is just a little girl dressed by anyone, the Divine Teachings of that era and today’s Church are already two different concepts."

"When the Master walked the Earth, He was a living god, and after going into slumber, He became someone else’s god of discourse."

"Perhaps you aren’t aware, Purity Evolution was not a forbidden path back then, the Hunting Wilderness Guild developed under the Master’s instruction."

"The millennium after the Day of the Divine Birth was considered the Golden Era, the Church self-identified as the Savior, leading human survivors to restore the past’s glory."

"Not like now, the road becomes narrower, all major forces gradually decay, and the future is not in sight."

As he spoke, the Bishop’s tone changed:

"So, in such times, there needs to be a force capable of correcting it."

"As an outsider who never received the Power of the Holy Spring, since the Master chose you, granting you this unparalleled honor, He must have deep intentions."

"The importance of this blessing, enough to be regarded as a Person of Divine Revelation in the Church, even as the Saint Son, groomed as a successor to the Tier Three Bishop role."

"Please treasure it!"

"The time we have left is already not much, after heading to the Holy City, the faint Holy Spring aura emanating from within you will be the best shield."

"As long as you don’t actively mobilize the inner power as you just did, even a Tier Three Bishop would find it difficult to notice any anomaly."

Lin Feng nodded, coming to his senses, realizing that the elderly man of a thousand years before him was not someone inflexible and stubborn.

The so-called Secular Faction’s attitude towards heretics is rather harsh and exclusionary, while the Primordial Sect, faithful to the Holy Spring Scripture and following the Master of the Holy Spring, is more open-minded...

Otherwise, they wouldn’t tolerate Father Su An wasting Holy Spring Water to save Su Yueyue in Holy Spring Village beneath the Oasis.

When Yueyue is more dangerous and threatening, yet here she is.

"Thank you, Lord Bishop."

Lin Feng finally spoke, his voice rising slowly.

The bishop walked around the desk and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder to signal him to sit:

"I know you still have many questions and doubts, this original edition of the Holy Spring Scripture has less than a hundred pages, only, but..."

"But after reading it, and then comparing it with the seventh edition of the Holy Spring Scripture, you’ll understand the current world situation and the path forward for you."

Saying that, the Bishop leaned on his cane and left the dimly lit room,

leaving Lin Feng alone, staring at the old book on the table before him, lost in thought.

The first thing he did in the morning was to touch the seventh edition.

But unlike the old edition, this one?

It doesn’t have the same old and worn-out breath, but rather it was exceptionally vibrant, as if the thin paper were to spring to life in front of him.

Lin Feng slowly opened the first page.

"The Wandering Earth Plan failed, the Planet Engine’s downfall, the thousand years post Day of the Divine Birth is known as the Golden Era, led by the Savior who helped humanity’s survivors strive to restore the glory of the past."
