Chapter 411 - Devouring Lifeform

Panda Novel"This feeling is really familiar…"
Lin Feng stopped the spaceship. He looked at the empty universe in front of him. Although it was empty in front of him, he had a feeling that something was amiss, but he could not put his finger on it.
"Cosmic map!"
Lin Feng immediately pulled up the cosmic map. Actually, he had already been feeling that something was amiss previously. After exiting of the spatial passage and along the way to Planet Noah, he had encountered very few planets.
They were either dead planets without any life fluctuations, or empty, leaving only cosmic dust.
Lin Feng had roughly checked the cosmic map back then. There should be quite a lot of planets around here. Although Planet Noah was the only planet with a civilization, there were many planets with life.
However, along the way, he had not seen many planets with life. He had not even seen more than a few planets. It was really quite peculiar.
Hence, Lin Feng pulled up the cosmic map.
These cosmic maps were basically updated every 10,000 years, and included all the planets in the Bemond Galaxy. Even if some planets had declined, they could not have disappeared so quickly. A period of 10,000 years was sufficient for updates.
Lin Feng looked at the five planets marked on the cosmic map.
Life was born on three of the planets.
Now, Lin Feng only saw two completely desolate planets. The other three planets that gave birth to life had actually disappeared. That's right—they had completely disappeared, as if they had never existed.
There were only two possibilities for this situation. Either the cosmic map was wrong, or something had happened to the planets.
The update schedule of the cosmic map was very rigorous. This cosmic map had only been charted for more than a thousand years. It was impossible for a planet to decline naturally and disappear completely without a trace.
A naturally declining planet would either become completely desolate, or fall apart and become a cosmic meteorite. However, it was impossible for there to be no trace of it at all.
There was something strange about this!
"Check cosmic events."
Lin Feng immediately began to use the internal system of the Divine Palace to check the recent cosmic events in the Bemond Galaxy.
"The Darata civilization was destroyed, and the planet disappeared. It is suspected to have encountered a devouring lifeform."
"The Moorune civilization was destroyed, and the planet disappeared. It is suspected to have encountered a devouring lifeform."
"The eight initial planets around the Ancient Blue Planet have disappeared. They are suspected to have encountered a devouring lifeform."
Seeing these major events, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He pulled up the cosmic map again and found the locations of these missing planets in it. Then, he connected them and observed.
He realized that it happened to form a curved line, which was generally traveling in a fixed direction.
Below these planets was Lin Feng's current location.
"Devouring lifeform!"
Lin Feng's heart sank. No wonder it gave him such a familiar feeling. It was a devouring lifeform.
In the universe, such devouring lifeforms were practically the mortal enemies of cultivation civilizations and technological civilizations. Once discovered, even the Divine Palace of Bemond would take action and eliminate them immediately.
This was because devouring lifeforms only knew how to destroy, devour, and annihilate. A devouring lifeform, even one only at the level of a planetary lifeform, could devour and destroy hundreds of planets. The danger was just too great.
Devouring lifeforms were simply a malignant tumor of the universe. If they were allowed to develop, they would probably devour every galaxy.
Lin Feng could sense the familiarity because he had obtained the life core of the Leviathan. The Leviathan was a typical devouring lifeform. It had even become a planetary lifeform. It had completed its metamorphosis in the end by devouring its home planet.
Lin Feng had seen the memories of the Leviathan. The Leviathan had devoured everything from its birth until it became a planetary lifeform. In the end, it had devoured almost everything on the entire planet, and even its home planet.
After metamorphosing into a planetary lifeform, it constantly drifted and wandered the universe, devouring countless planets. This was what devouring lifeforms were. They were simply the greatest enemies of cultivators and technological civilizations.
Be it the cultivation civilization or the technological civilization, neither could tolerate devouring lifeforms.
Lin Feng immediately sent the news here to the Divine Palace. Any news regarding devouring lifeforms was very important.
Soon, the Divine Palace responded to Lin Feng. The Divine Palace also suspected that the devouring lifeform was nearby, and it should be an elementary planetary lifeform. It was especially dangerous.
Lin Feng was tasked to find that devouring lifeform immediately, monitor it, and wait for the arrival of the experts from the Divine Palace.
This was a compulsory order. Lin Feng could not possibly decline. Moreover, he had never thought of declining. He absolutely could not tolerate devouring lifeforms. It was like the Behemoth of Armageddon back then, which strictly speaking could also be considered a devouring lifeform. It was born for destruction.
"Your Highness Lin Feng, what did you discover?"
At this moment, the two royalties of the Noah civilization also noticed the solemn expression on Lin Feng's face.
"A devouring lifeform has been discovered. This place is too dangerous. I'll send you to the spatial passage first, then teleport to the Divine Palace of Bemond. Just give them my name. When the time comes, someone will naturally arrange for you to cultivate in the Divine Palace."
Lin Feng's expression was very solemn. He took the spaceship to the spatial passage as quickly as possible. After escorting the two of them back, he returned.
He also swept through the area below along the line on the cosmic map.
As he searched, he checked the planets on the cosmic map. In particular, he needed to focus on investigating those planets that had given birth to life.
Unfortunately, as Lin Feng investigated it, his expression became more and more grim. He had already discovered that a total of eleven inhabited planets had completely disappeared.
It seemed like they had all been devoured by that devouring lifeform. Moreover, the special aura left behind in the universe was becoming stronger and stronger. This meant that Lin Feng was gradually approaching that devouring lifeform.
"I have to speed up!"
Lin Feng sped up the spaceship and headed straight for the planets with life below.
Finally, Lin Feng found a planet that had given birth to life. They had even developed a civilization. However, the civilization was very primitive, and was only the beginning of a technological civilization. They did not even have the ability to leave the planet.
However, there were many lifeforms on this planet, especially intelligent lifeforms, which exceeded five billion. This was deadly temptation for devouring lifeforms.
If Lin Feng could not find the devouring lifeform, he might as well wait here. He believed that as long as it was really a devouring lifeform, it would definitely be able to find this place, and would definitely not pass on this planet that had given birth to a large amount of lifeforms.
Lin Feng did not know how long it would take for that devouring lifeform to arrive. Moreover, his spaceship was too conspicuous in the universe.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Feng simply piloted the spaceship and flew directly into the planet below.
This planet had a large amount of water, and more than 70% of it was water. Intelligent lifeforms were dominant, but their rule was established on land and not on water.
Lin Feng silently landed the spaceship on some barren islands on the sea. Then, he left the spaceship and flew out of the sea alone, towards the continent where intelligent lifeforms gathered.
