Chapter 32 - Truly Unable to Defend Himself
At that moment, the trial space began to tremble. A terrifying and familiar presence descended, and Chen Beiguo’s enraged voice echoed throughout the entire Divine Revelation Monolith.
“Control all passages, extract all recorded data from the Divine Revelation Temple, and activate the defense system!”
Upon hearing this voice, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. Chen Beiguo had already returned? Perhaps he still had a chance to turn the tables! After all, Lin Feng still had one final card to play.
He had stored a recording crystal on him, which contained the entire conversation between him and Qin Xian just moments ago. With this recording crystal, he could prove that Qin Xian was the mastermind behind this tragedy!
Moreover, the defense system of the Divine Revelation Temple represented the highest level of security. The Temple was designed to select candidates for the imperial examinations, and many trial spaces were extremely dangerous.
The defense system ensured the safety of the examinees. If an examinee’s life was threatened, they would be immediately transported to the plaza outside the Monolith.
Previously, the Void invasion had damaged the Temple’s system. But now that most of the Void creatures had been cleared and the Void rifts had been sealed and repaired, the defense system could be reactivated! This meant that Qin Xian wouldn’t be able to kill him!
“You’ve returned rather quickly. It seems that His Excellency, the Governor, is truly anxious…” Qin Xian smiled faintly as he noticed the hopeful expression on Lin Feng’s face.
He said calmly, “You seem so excited, so you must have something like a recording crystal on you, right? Do you really think that just because Chen Beiguo is back, he can save you?”
Qin Xian sneered and, without hesitation, grabbed Lin Feng with one hand. A strange tentacle emerged from the Void veins in his right arm and directly pierced Lin Feng’s forehead!
【Void Conversion: Implant a Void parasite into a target of a lower or equal level, converting them into a Void Follower.】
This was a signature skill of the Void Overlord. Qin Xian had used this skill during the Void Sacrifice rituals in Donghai Province to convert several innocent people into Void Followers.
Corrosive and scorching Void energy began to ravage Lin Feng’s body, completely eroding his skin! His eyes turned into blue flames, and his upper body became covered in terrifying and grotesque scales.
The excruciating pain twisted Lin Feng’s body into a bent shape, like a curled-up shrimp. More importantly, Lin Feng’s vocal cords were destroyed by the Void energy. He couldn’t even scream!
After completing all of this, the terrifying Void flames surrounding Qin Xian vanished, and the Void pupils in his eyes also faded. In their place, his entire body was now bathed in a holy radiance.
A set of majestic and luxurious golden armor appeared on him, and he wielded a radiant greatsword, with faint shadows of two radiant wings behind him.
He appeared like a descending Archangel!
Qin Xian had switched to his first profession—Oracle Knight! It was hard to imagine that the same person could be both the corrosive, all-devouring Void Lord and the purifying, saving Oracle Knight…
Lin Feng, half-transformed into a Void Follower, looked horrifying and grotesque. In contrast, Qin Xian, in his Oracle Knight form, appeared so radiant and majestic!
When Chen Beiguo, Chen Lingxi, and the other powerful figures arrived at the trial space, this was the scene they witnessed…
“Young Master!” Qiu Bo and the others immediately rushed to Qin Xian’s side.
Meanwhile, Chen Lingxi gasped in shock, covering her mouth in disbelief as she looked at Lin Feng.
“How could this be…”
Not only Chen Lingxi, but everyone else’s attention was also focused on Lin Feng.
“A Void Follower!?!”
Lin Feng’s appearance was exactly like that of a Void Follower using Void power!
Qin Xian looked at Lin Feng before him, a strange glint in his eyes, and then righteously declared, “This man is the mastermind behind all of this! He and his foster father are both Void Followers who have orchestrated multiple Void Sacrifice incidents!”
“During this imperial examination, he brought the Void Beacon into the Divine Revelation Temple, summoning the Void invasion and leading to the Monolith’s destruction!”
Although Lin Feng had been converted into a Void Follower, his consciousness remained intact.
Hearing Qin Xian’s distorted lies and how he was being framed for everything, Lin Feng was consumed with rage and desperately wanted to speak. But with his vocal cords destroyed, he could only produce ghastly, guttural noises!
Coupled with his grotesque appearance, he looked like a terrifying Void beast. Everyone, without any hesitation, immediately believed Qin Xian’s words. After all, the situation before them was crystal clear!
Chen Lingxi’s eyes were filled with disbelief. Lin Feng… how could he be a Void Follower!?
