I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Devouring the Ember

As for the appearance of Li Feng before him, although it surprised General Dark Thunder, he did not associate the destruction of the mechanical forces with Li Feng.

Because in his estimation, annihilating Utopia’s elite troops would require a great deal of effort, and there might even be casualties. Li Feng, however, was completely unscathed, not at all like someone who had just experienced a great battle.

Therefore, his judgment was flawed.

“Scram!” The patterns on General Dark Thunder’s body continuously erupted with lightning, like a radiant source, emanating a terrifying aura that swept across hundreds of meters, charging towards Li Feng. The snow on the ground vanished instantly.

Li Feng’s expression remained calm. As he watched General Dark Thunder approach, he noticed a red gem embedded in the creature’s forehead. The gem was constantly burning, and the falling snow dissipated silently upon contact.

This was not melting but a more bizarre form of disappearance.

At the same time, a system notification sounded.

“Ding, discovered a self-sustaining energy source, the Ember. Absorbing it can promote the evolution of the ‘Mechanical Heart’ breathing technique!”

A wide grin spread across Li Feng’s face.

He had traveled all the way from Great Xia Nation to the Sea Eagle Empire with great difficulty, precisely to enhance his final breathing technique. Now, the opportunity had presented itself.

No, it was more like the opportunity had crashed into his arms like a comet.

“Refuse to scram, and you die.” Seeing the smile on Li Feng’s face, General Dark Thunder felt a sense of unease. However, with Utopia’s forces close behind, he had no time for hesitation. He extended a giant palm, crackling with electricity, forming a halo of light, and pressed it down towards Li Feng’s head.

The air trembled, and the electric light exploded. If this giant palm were to connect, it would likely shatter a mountain peak.

But Li Feng was fearless. A seven-colored light bloomed on his forehead, and a beam of light, like a bolt of silk, shot out.

Bang!

The Sword of Life collided with the giant palm, creating a storm around them. Energy surged, and each strand of energy that landed on the snow exploded, creating a large crater. The scene was astonishing.

The result surprised Li Feng. The Sword of Life was extremely sharp and pierced through the giant palm, but it only managed to create a small wound.

“Kid, you’re dead.” General Dark Thunder was even more surprised and shocked than Li Feng. A white liquid flowed from his palm—his blood.

The blood of metal lifeforms was not crimson but milky white, similar in consistency to thick milk. As it dripped onto the ground, it began to corrode the earth.

He had not expected that an insect he had disregarded could actually harm him. Although it was only a minor injury, it filled his heart with killing intent.

Boom!

General Dark Thunder erupted with power. A hundred thousand volts of electricity radiated from his body, resembling a shower of dandelions, as he charged towards Li Feng, the air crackling with explosive sounds.

His form resembled that of a leopard from the animal kingdom of Sky Blue Star. His speed was astonishing. With a flash of a shadow across the void, his massive body collided with Li Feng.

Boom!

Seeing this, Li Feng’s body began to disintegrate, transforming into spatial molecules, attempting to evade the attack. However, the opponent’s speed was too great. He had only disintegrated about one-tenth of his body when he collided with the creature. Terrifying energy surged, spreading rapidly like ripples.

Li Feng was sent flying, crashing into a mountain peak. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and his body felt as if it were falling apart.

“Damn, this guy’s body is incredibly tough. I felt like I hit a rock.” Li Feng was shocked.

In fact, the lifeforms of this world were all metallic, evolving into a special race. They were inherently extremely hard, comparable to divine iron. They did not need to rely on weapons because they themselves were the most powerful weapons.

“Huh, you’re not dead.” At this moment, General Dark Thunder also noticed something was amiss. He said, “Does the destruction of this mechanical force have anything to do with you?”

He had originally intended to use the mysterious force that had annihilated Utopia’s elite mechanical troops to counter the enemy. Now, it seemed he had made a big mistake.

He had a faint, ominous premonition, as if he had encountered this mysterious force first.

Li Feng stood on a large rock, his face pale, but he was not seriously injured. The Immortal Divine Body was very effective, instantly healing his injuries.

Hearing the opponent’s question, he revealed his pearly white teeth and smiled, saying, “Of course, it has something to do with me. This mechanical force was destroyed by my hands.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Feng moved. He dispersed like a cloud of dust, and in the next moment, he appeared before General Dark Thunder, the Sword of Life slashing out.

Whoosh!

The sword light surged, and the sharp sword aura shot up into the sky. General Dark Thunder’s body issued a warning, and he was shocked. This sword threatened him.

He raised his palm, and lightning erupted from his palm, forming a veritable Thunder Palm, which he slammed towards the longsword.

With a boom, electric light flickered in the void, as if dragons and snakes were dancing together.

“Ah!” General Dark Thunder let out a scream. His palm had actually been cut open by this sword, revealing the metallic bone beneath.

He felt that he had miscalculated and provoked an enemy he should not have. He quickly said, “This is a misunderstanding. Someone is chasing me from behind. That’s why I was rude earlier. I apologize for my behavior.”

After expressing his apology, he further added, wanting to reconcile with Li Feng. At the same time, he felt Utopia’s forces approaching, especially since he had been delayed by Li Feng.

Soon, Utopia would arrive. He wanted to reach an agreement with Li Feng to deal with Utopia first, harboring the intention of using Li Feng.

“Hehe!”

Li Feng sneered. He had his eyes on the Ember on the opponent’s forehead. He said directly, “Fine, but hand over the Ember first, and I can cooperate with you.”

General Dark Thunder’s face instantly darkened. He had gone through so much trouble precisely to devour the Ember. How could he possibly hand it over?

He threatened, “Let me tell you, there’s a big guy behind me. If we continue fighting, it will only benefit him.”

“Kill!”

Li Feng exuded a sharp killing intent. Since the opponent was not sincere, he would take action directly. As for who was coming from behind, he did not care.

He was like a star, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations. Countless starlights bloomed as he charged towards General Dark Thunder. As he traversed, all matter he touched turned to dust.

“You lunatic!” General Dark Thunder cursed. He had already explained the pros and cons, but the opponent was stubbornly fixated on him.

Left with no choice, he could only engage in battle.

Bang bang!

The battle was extremely intense. The energy emanating from the two was like a vast ocean, surging outwards. Several large mountains were shattered.

The more General Dark Thunder fought, the more shocked he became. He felt that this person was a humanoid monster. He also realized that Li Feng was from Sky Blue Star and not a metal lifeform.

However, his physical strength was terrifying, on par with his own. Most importantly, the opponent’s recovery ability was extremely strong, like an unkillable cockroach.

Pfft!

On the fifty-fifth collision, one of General Dark Thunder’s hind legs was severed by the longsword. Blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground.

General Dark Thunder roared to the sky, filled with both anger and helplessness. He had already escaped from Utopia’s grasp, but unexpectedly, he had provoked an even more terrifying figure along the way.

“I obtained the Ember. It’s my destiny. How can I fail here?” General Dark Thunder was unwilling to accept defeat. His severed hind leg slowly began to regenerate, and he wanted to continue fighting Li Feng.

But Li Feng did not give him the chance. He pressed his advantage, severing all four of the opponent’s legs, rendering him immobile.

◈◈◈

Only then did Li Feng approach, intending to remove the Ember from the opponent’s forehead.

“Stop!”

Just then, a roar echoed, shaking the heavens and earth. On several distant snow-capped mountains, snow tumbled down like waves, creating an apocalyptic scene. This roar had actually triggered an avalanche.

…

…

Meanwhile!

In a canyon, Eden Adams sensed something was amiss. In his perception, many people were missing from the valley.

“Where did they go?” His voice echoed through the canyon. Soon, a young man approached.

He answered honestly, “They said they found traces of Li Feng. Trief and the others went to hunt him down.”

“How many went?” Eden Adams asked, a sense of foreboding growing within him.

“Ten in total. Hunting down a player below the Destruction level should be more than enough,” the youth replied.

Eden Adams’s face darkened, and he said angrily, “A bunch of fools. Trief and the others are probably all dead.”

“That’s unlikely, isn’t it? They didn’t rashly approach Li Feng. They first contacted General Utopia, saying they wanted to join forces to kill Li Feng,” the youth said, somewhat unconvinced.

With Utopia’s mechanical forces present, there was no way Trief and the others could have all died.

Eden Adams’s face was grim, but he didn’t speak. He was worried about another possibility. He asked, “Where did they go?”

In reality, no one had expected that Utopia, who shared a common enemy, would be the first to hunt down Trief and the others.

“Towards the Yellow Leaf Forest, probably closer to the icy region to the west,” the youth replied.

“I’ll go myself.” Eden Adams stood up. His golden hair shone like a small sun, dazzlingly bright.

The aura he exuded was extremely powerful, making the youth feel suffocated. Some small stones around them shattered. He thought to himself, “We’re in the same realm, but the gap is so vast.”

But then he felt it was normal. The other party was too monstrous, hailed by many in the Sea Eagle Empire as a myth, someone who would eventually step into the realm of gods.

No one knew that Eden Adams had already stepped into the Awakened level. No one knew just how strong he truly was.

Thinking of this, the youth said confidently, “With Master Adams taking action, no matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, they will all be subdued!”

Boom!

Eden Adams nodded. Then, a set of golden mecha assembled onto his body, angular and bursting with brilliant light. He soared into the distance, his speed incredibly fast, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye!

…

…

On the snowy mountain.

Utopia arrived, his eyes sharp. He shouted angrily, “Kid, didn’t you hear me tell you to stop?”

He was very displeased because he saw Li Feng still moving, picking the Ember from General Dark Thunder’s forehead, holding it in his hand, and killing General Dark Thunder.

He didn’t care about General Dark Thunder’s death. He cared about the Ember.

“Ding, discovered a self-sustaining energy source, the Ember. It can be absorbed. Absorb?”

“Absorb!” Li Feng silently thought.

Ding, “The ‘Mechanical Heart’ breathing technique has met the conditions to awaken. It is now forming an Awakening Skill…”

The Ember in Li Feng’s hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the entire sky. The flames were like a curtain, covering the sky. It was like the sky clearing after a snowfall. The snow gradually stopped falling. This terrifying scene flashed by, and the Ember quickly calmed down.

This scene caused Utopia’s pupils to shrink suddenly. He said furiously, “Kid, what did you do with the Ember? Hand it over, or I’ll tear you to pieces.”

He was furious. He saw that the Ember was slowly fusing into Li Feng’s body, eventually disappearing.

He had been chasing General Dark Thunder so hard precisely for the Ember. Seeing someone else take it for themselves, he felt a tightness in his chest, and the killing intent within him almost burst out.

“What am I doing? Naturally, I’m absorbing the Ember,” Li Feng said calmly. Then he glanced at him, seeing that his form resembled a white tiger, but with a red body. “These past few days, I’ve been constantly chased by mechanical forces. I presume they are all your troops, right?”

Earlier, General Dark Thunder, in his attempt to cooperate, had revealed some details, making Li Feng realize that the mechanical forces that had been chasing him were precisely the legions under Utopia’s command.

“You’ve been destroying my mechanical forces.” Utopia’s eyes erupted with a terrifying killing intent. His dark red light flickered, and his tone was icy.

This time, he had encountered his enemy, and he had also encountered the Ember. He sneered, “It seems that heaven is on my side, not only allowing me to kill my enemy but also to obtain the Ember.

No matter what method you used to store the Ember, I will make you spit it out. Even if I have to flay your skin and strip your bones, I will find it.”

Utopia did not believe Li Feng’s words. Devouring the Ember was an extremely difficult process, and it created a huge commotion. Although the Ember had just burst into a dazzling light, it was only for a moment. He did not believe that Li Feng had already devoured the Ember.

In reality, no one could have imagined that Li Feng was essentially a walking cheat. He directly used the Ember to promote the evolution of his breathing technique. The absorption process was extremely rapid.

The phenomenon just now was the phenomenon of devouring the Ember, but Utopia simply did not believe it.

Li Feng sneered and did not answer. He glanced at his attribute panel and saw that in the talent section, a ball of chaos had appeared, seemingly evolving into something.

Seeing this, he felt relieved.

“It seems my guess was correct. You’ve hidden the Ember.” Utopia sneered. Seeing Li Feng’s reaction, he believed his guess was correct.

He did not waste any more words. His entire body erupted with a brilliant red light, like a vast ocean, eroding the void, enveloping Li Feng.

“Draw and Slash!”

Li Feng swept his longsword, and a beam of sword light swept out, rippling like waves, extremely terrifying.

Pfft!

The sword light rushed into the red ocean, tearing open a rift. With a bang, the sword light struck Utopia, sparks flying.

Utopia’s steps faltered slightly, but in the next instant, his tail swept out, directly shattering the sword light. Relying on inertia, he continued to charge towards Li Feng, like a meteor piercing through the void.
