Chapter 854: The Legacy Within the Ribs

As the ribs separated from the skeletal torso, Lin Feng quickly stored the somewhat incomplete skeleton into his absorption ring, leaving only these three ribs.

However, his attention had just shifted to these three ribs.

He immediately sensed that the Creator Saint's ribs lacked the coarse feel of ordinary bones.

Instead, they felt extremely smooth, slick, and cool.

It almost made him think that what he held was the most perfect jade in the world.

But recalling the day's stage combat technique, Lin Feng's attention instantly snapped back from the peculiar feel of the ribs in his hand.

Then his soul perception radiated from his forehead, attaching to the three ribs, attempting to read their contents.

"Boom!"

However, as his soul perception touched the ribs, it was swiftly rebounded by an invisible force.

"It seems the Creator Saint deliberately placed a seal on this bone!"

Realizing his soul perception had been instantly rebounded, Lin Feng lightly rubbed his chin with one hand, pondering.

Moreover, it emitted a faint, intermittent glow, resisting the high temperature of the strange fire.

Yet Lin Feng was not surprised by this situation.

But a careful glance would reveal.

At the same time, the jade‑white hue on the ribs was slowly fading.

After all, according to the previously found Ninth‑grade Medicine Formula, Gold Spirit Tempering Saliva is also golden.

Indeed, if a seal set by a Dou Saint were so easily broken, it would be rather childish.

Moreover, the original version of that item was the Creator Saint's means of preserving his own inheritance.

After a brief hesitation, Lin Feng inhaled a slightly dry breath, then extended his palm with a resolute expression.

For a moment, aside from the occasional crackle of the burning flame, the room was otherwise silent.

This scorching lasted nearly three hours, and only then did the three Dou Saint ribs gradually melt under the terrifying black fire.

"Sizzle!"

In less than a moment, within the black flame, the ribs' traces had vanished.

Staring at the golden liquid before him, Lin Feng lightly rubbed his chin and whispered softly.

When the ribs entered the strange fire, the surrounding black flames fiercely roasted the three foreign objects.

Then Lin Feng waved his hand, tossing the three ivory‑like ribs into the vast black flame.

In their place emerged a heavy, dark‑gold hue!

This caused the air in the training chamber to instantly become dry.

Within those three ribs, which bore a dark‑gold aura, a strange ripple was quietly spreading.

Soon after, Lin Feng noticed that the three golden ribs before him were melting at an accelerating rate.

However, despite appearing fragile, the ribs remained unmoved under the strange fire's scorching, their color unchanged.

All that existed was a pool of strange dark‑gold liquid!

That peculiar liquid, once formed, swiftly flowed within the flame as if it possessed its own sentience, constantly probing for an escape.

"This can't be the original version of Gold Spirit Tempering Saliva, can it?"

Thus, Lin Feng maintained a calm mindset, closed his eyes, and controlled the strange fire to continuously roast the three ribs.

Then, as he clenched his palm, black flames rose gently from his hand, emitting a terrifying heat.

He then plunged his hand into the flame, immersing his entire palm into that pool of dark‑gold liquid.

"Sizzle!"

However, the moment Lin Feng's palm entered, the golden liquid suddenly boiled.

The pool of Gold Spirit Tempering Saliva writhed violently, then tightly coiled around Lin Feng's palm.

In that instant, the golden liquid enveloped his entire palm.

"Hiss!"

When his right palm was fully encased, an indescribable searing pain surged from his palm.

The intense agony instantly twisted Lin Feng's face grotesquely.

Under the dark‑gold liquid's grip, his right palm began to writhe strangely.

"Creak... Creak..."

Immediately, the golden liquid abruptly collapsed inward without warning, crushing his bones with a creaking sound.

"Whoa, what's happening? If this continues, my palm will be ruined!"

Feeling the overwhelming pressure that left him powerless, Lin Feng suddenly panicked.

After all, if it continued, his palm would be crushed by these ghostly things.

However, just as that dreadful thought arose, the pain in his hand abruptly ceased.

Then the dark‑gold liquid seeped into his palm's skin like a tide, disappearing in an instant.

Yet before Lin Feng could recover from that bizarre scene, his mind suddenly jolted.

Immediately, dark black pupils flashed with a burst of dark‑gold light.

"Boom!"

As a booming explosion echoed deep in Lin Feng's mind, his soul likewise felt a violent tremor at that moment.

Immediately, his vision and thoughts quickly became hazy.

When he finally regained his senses, he suddenly found himself inside a strange space.

Looking around, Lin Feng saw that the space was not expansive.

However, perhaps due to its emptiness, it seemed completely lifeless.

But soon, the former seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head toward some point in the void space.

There, a figure stood with its hands behind its back.

When Lin Feng looked, he found the figure exceedingly ordinary, almost imperceptible in any aura or Dou Qi it emitted from its body.

Its appearance was just like that of an utterly ordinary, commonplace person.

Nevertheless, faced with this situation, Lin Feng dared not underestimate the former.

After all, as long as his mind was sound, he could guess that, aside from a Fate Saint, the figure could not be any other third party.

"This space appears to be the inheritance left within the ribs, a hidden memory space. As for the figure, it is not a true Fate Saint, but a fragment of his soul."

Gazing at the figure, Lin Feng thought to himself, somewhat contemplative.

And the figure was exactly as Lin Feng had expected.

Shortly after he entered this space, it began to run like a program whose parameters had been preset.

Immediately thereafter, a voice as plain as water slowly resonated within the space.
