Chapter 58 - 59 – Ghost Douluo's Sharp Senses... They’ve Been Spotted!
Glug-glug-glug—!
Streams of genetic serum poured into Lin Fan's body through the countless blood-vein tendrils attached to him, as if energy was no longer a concern.
His eyes remained tightly shut, his consciousness already drifting into chaos.
Using all his willpower, he managed to grit out a few words through clenched teeth:
"Hive Mind... y-you damn thing! Why does it hurt so much?!"
[This transformation is intended to push the Overmind beyond the limits of ordinary lifeforms, granting true biological enhancement and genetic mutation.]
[Massive amounts of genetic fluid and deep restructuring are necessary.]
[Please remain patient, Overmind.]
"AAARGH!!!"
Lin Fan howled in agony, feeling as though his very skin was being peeled away, layer by layer.
Countless invisible needles pricked every inch of his body.
His bones felt as if they were being shattered and reforged, the fiery, searing pain relentlessly ravaging his nerves.
Every second—pure torment.
And yet, Lin Fan dared not move.
The memory of what happened during the fusion of the Baneling unit was still vivid in his mind—how volatile and unstable the gene serums became when mixed carelessly.
If he moved and caused a misreaction now... and triggered an explosion inside his own body...
Even regret would come too late.
Glug-glug...
Who knew how long the infusion went on?
By now, Lin Fan's consciousness had already dulled from the overwhelming pain, leaving him in a semi-lucid state, barely aware of what was happening to his body.
At last, as the final drops of genetic serum were injected—
The blood-veins coiling around his body wrapped tighter, sealing him completely within a massive, air-tight bio-cocoon.
Golden nutrient fluid, converted from pure energy, surged into the cocoon, flooding Lin Fan's nearly ruined body with life-giving energy.
At that same moment, across the Star Dou Forest, the ground trembled violently.
The Zerg swarm had mobilized almost in full force—devouring every living organism within detection range. All prey were dragged back to the Hive by Drones and dumped into the Infestation Pool, their biomass fueling both Lin Fan's evolution and the incubation of the Blade Queen.
In the fading fragments of his awareness, Lin Fan felt his entire body bathed in warmth.
It was as if he were immersed in a gentle stream, one that touched every cell of his being, elevating his flesh and mind to a higher state.
Then came the itching—deep, maddening itching inside his bones—like something crawling through his marrow, scratching from within.
His mind wavered between tension and release, and eventually... he surrendered to unconsciousness.
Far away, in the southwest region of the Heaven Dou Empire—
Fasno Province.
Holy Spirit Village.
A young boy in simple clothing held the hand of an elderly white-haired man, standing at the village entrance.
The boy had short black hair, neatly kept, with healthy tanned skin.
He carried a heavy-looking backpack on his small shoulders, yet showed no sign of fatigue.
Turning to glance one last time at the village's humble and most dilapidated blacksmith shop, the boy looked somewhat disappointed. The person he hoped would show up... never did.
"It's getting late, Xiao San. We should go," said Old Jack, his tone softening despite the disapproving glance he gave the closed blacksmith door.
Then he smiled kindly and patted the boy's hand.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
The boy pursed his lips, disappointment flashing in his eyes. Still, he nodded.
"Thank you, Grandpa Jack! And... thank you for everything."
"Hahaha! Xiao San, study hard at the academy, alright? Become a strong Soul Master! That way, this old man can have some peace of mind!"
"Mm!"
The old and the young figures slowly left Holy Spirit Village and eventually disappeared from view.
On a remote hillside behind the village, a disheveled man silently watched the small silhouette walking away.
He stood lost in thought, dazed... no one knew what was going through his mind.
After a moment, he took a swig of strong liquor—and vanished without a trace.
Back at the blacksmith shop, a rusty iron lock now hung from the door.
High above the clouds, ten thousand meters in the air—
A massive shadow drifted silently through the dense layers.
Twin crimson eyes gleamed through the clouds, surveying everything below.
In a remote, uninhabited valley behind Holy Spirit Village...
Strange droplets of purple-black rain began to fall, soaking evenly into the ground.
Moments later, the rain ceased.
A massive creature silently descended, and swarms of twisted, terrifying Zerg creatures slithered from its body.
They swiftly dug into the earth, carving out a massive underground nest—and vanished.
Outer edges of the Star Dou Forest—
Three figures rushed forward at incredible speed, stopping only once they reached the forest boundary.
One of them—a tall, shadowy figure—stood in complete darkness. His entire body was cloaked in black, exuding a mysterious aura that made him nearly imperceptible to the eye.
It was as if he didn't even exist in this world.
His face was concealed in an ever-present shroud of shadow.
The shadowy figure was the first to speak: "Something's wrong."
Beside him stood a pale-skinned man in violet robes, with a sharp, effeminate appearance. He nodded solemnly.
"Where are all the spirit beasts in the forest?"
Snake Lance Douluo's face darkened.
He suddenly remembered—this was exactly how the forest looked the last time he brought the Saintess here.
Seeing his expression, the violet-robed man gave the black figure a subtle glance and said, "Let's move. Our task comes first. Her Holiness is still waiting."
With Snake Lance leading the way, the three Titled Douluo surged deeper into the Star Dou Forest.
High above, in the skies—
A massive Overseer slowly emerged from the cloud cover, half its form visible, crimson eyes locked on the trio.
As the clouds shifted, more gigantic shadows moved behind them—countless Zerg forms hidden in the mist, forming a massive, living web over the entire Star Dou Forest.
As the trio raced through the forest—
Ghost Douluo suddenly halted, his figure shrouded in spreading black mist.
Chrysanthemum Douluo flinched in alarm.
"What's wrong, Old Ghost?"
Snake Lance Douluo also stopped, confused.
Ghost Douluo frowned, his brows deeply furrowed.
"I think... I'm being watched."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned grim.
He had worked alongside Ghost Douluo for over sixty years and knew his abilities like the back of his hand.
He'd never doubted Ghost Douluo's instincts.
If Ghost Douluo said they were being watched...
Then someone—or something—was definitely watching them.
But who would be so bold as to spy on three Titled Douluo?
