Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 268 Apostle Mission
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it," Lin Feng said.

Pure Land is recognized as the world's premier organization, attracting global attention, yet it remains shrouded in mystery.

The organization's founding date, founders, and location are all unknown.

Of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, only six have known their exact identities, while the identities of the other six remain a mystery. Furthermore, the organization rarely appears in public.

However, whenever it happens, it's always big news that shocks the world.

In his previous life, although Lin Feng reached the eighth-rank martial arts grandmaster level, he wasn't even qualified to be a security guard for the Pure Land. Therefore, it's not surprising that he didn't understand the Apostles.

Seeing Lin Feng's puzzled look, Bu Zheng explained:
"In the Pure Land, there are twelve Heavenly Kings, and each Heavenly King can have two apostles."

The role of an apostle is equivalent to that of the Heavenly King's assistant and representative, helping the Heavenly King to handle affairs. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to handle all the minor matters.

In the Pure Land, the status of an apostle is second only to that of a Heavenly King. If a Heavenly King falls from grace, an apostle has the opportunity to take his place. One-third of the twelve Heavenly Kings of the Pure Land ascended to their positions in this way.

"Could he replace the Twelve Heavenly Kings?"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered: "So that means the weakest apostle is at least a King level, and possibly even an Emperor level?"

Bu Zheng shook his head: "You could say that, but it's not absolute. Of the 24 apostles, no more than 15 have broken through to the King level. However, each apostle has a special ability, or rather, a trump card."

Never measure strength by realm, especially for demon spirit masters. It's not uncommon for an apostle with only grandmaster-level strength to kill a Martial King. Apostles generally possess combat power comparable to King-level beings, but there are exceptions!

"special case?"

Bu Zhengdao said, "For a prodigy who is invincible among his peers, even if his realm and strength have not reached the King level, he still has a chance to become an Apostle. Of course, it will be very dangerous."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Lin Feng asked, but he already had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

Pure Land has always been his goal.

It gathers the world's top combat forces and scientific research talents. As long as you join it, your strength will definitely improve rapidly. More importantly, you can obtain some scientific research results.

There might be a way to resolve the crisis of nightmares.

But in Lin Feng's plan, that's the place he'll go after becoming a King-level expert; it seems a bit too early now.

Bu Zheng continued:
"Among the Twelve Heavenly Kings, the Sea King is Chinese. He has a good relationship with the higher-ups. One of his apostles has fallen, leaving a vacancy. Someone recommended you."

"How did I fall? Who recommended me? What was their purpose?"

Lin Feng asked three questions in a row.

Lin Feng's calm demeanor surprised Bu Zheng.

When normal people hear that they can join the Pure Land, they are either overjoyed or fearful. It is rare for someone to be so calm and able to judge the pros and cons from another perspective.

"I don't know how I fell."

The missions in the Pure Land are all secret. You can improve your strength quickly there, but the mortality rate is also very high. They could be missions or battles between apostles.

As for who recommended you, you don't need to know. They're not trying to harm you. This is indeed a great opportunity; it just depends on whether you're willing to compete for this position.

There were also some things that Bu Zheng did not tell Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's ability to participate in the competition for the position of Apostle is extremely valuable, and it is not something that can be obtained simply by having talent and strength; loyalty must also be tested.

Many geniuses joined the Pure Land, became apostles, and then completely severed ties with the country.

Such people are of no value in the eyes of the higher-ups, and may even harm the interests of the country in the future.

The state allowed Lin Feng to join Pure Land, naturally hoping that Lin Feng could obtain a position as a Heavenly King in the future. At that time, not only would there be one more powerful person, but it might also affect the direction of Pure Land.

Besides his monstrous talent and his record of sealing off a single sect, Lin Feng's growth experience is also a very important reason.

Lin Feng's status as an illegitimate child was not a secret to the higher-ups.

Among the ten great families of the capital, the Yang family's strength is beyond doubt.

Faced with the olive branch extended by his family, Lin Feng, who had no powerful backing, chose to refuse. This, on one hand, proves Lin Feng's pride and inner conviction.

This is a big plus in the eyes of higher-ups.

Sometimes, perseverance is more important than talent.

"compete?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Was competition still necessary?
"Yes, don't underestimate the apostles. An apostle is an identity, not just a representative of the Heavenly King. The Pure Land has unique training programs and treatment for apostles. Those who become the Emperor's apostles often have contact with the Emperor, and even occasional guidance is very beneficial."

Many people are eyeing this position, but ultimately only five can compete for it. Someone as invincible as you among your peers isn't unique; your talent might be top-notch, but your strength isn't an advantage, and you might even be the weakest!

"The Apostle assessment is very brutal. Organizations like Pure Land do not play by the rules, and are even somewhat extreme. Sometimes elimination means death. There are many such examples."

"The assessment will likely be scheduled for six months from now, but I don't know the specifics. There's only one spot left, so if you agree, there won't be a chance to back out."

Lin Feng considered it for a moment and nodded: "I agree."

"You can think about it for a couple more days; there's no need to give an answer so quickly."

Seeing that Lin Feng agreed so quickly, Bu Zheng instead tried to persuade him.

Becoming an apostle certainly has many benefits, but it also carries great dangers. Although Lin Feng is exceptionally talented, his opponents in this competition are all stronger than him, and there may even be experts who are close to the King level.

As the saying goes, if a genius falls from grace, he is nothing.

Of course, high risk always comes with high reward. If he can become an apostle, Lin Feng's strength will improve very quickly.

"No need to think about it, I agree," Lin Feng said directly.

Six months later, his strength was no longer at the King level, but he had Nightmare as a trump card, so there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Lin Feng had made his decision, Bu Zheng, though still somewhat worried, did not say anything more.

After a brief chat about the spatial ring, Lin Feng quickly returned to his room.

The news of the blockade of the gate and the massacre of the city continued to spread, and the exorbitant bounty also attracted the attention of countless assassins. Even Bu Zheng told Lin Feng to keep a low profile these days.

Just as Bu Zheng relayed the news that Lin Feng was willing to compete for the position of Apostle, the next day, outside the Shangjing Base City, a young man with a scar on his left cheek and a buzz cut who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old was chasing a three-meter-long black cheetah.

The cheetah had a single horn on its head, making it a ninth-tier Shadow Cheetah.

The Shadow Leopard, known as the deadly killer, was now fleeing in panic like a stray dog. The man behind him lightly touched the ground with his toes, as if floating, leaping dozens of meters, unhurriedly following behind the Shadow Leopard.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the man frowned slightly, and his phone vibrated slightly in his pocket. However, he did not stop, but appeared in front of the Shadow Leopard in an instant and slowly extended his hand.

Bang!
With a muffled thud, the Shadow Leopard's body suddenly sank down, letting out a low growl. However, as the man rotated his right hand, the Shadow Leopard twisted into a ball, and with the sound of bones cracking, it became a huge, bloody mass of flesh.

At this moment, the young man slowly took out his phone. It was a text message, and the content of the message was very simple:
"Apostle Mission: Kill Apostle Candidate: Lin Feng".

The young man put away his phone, his brows furrowing slightly.

Lin Feng, of course he knew who it was!

The super genius who killed Haiwei and Tianqing, forcing the alien races to seal off Yuxi City.

These days, it's hard not to know who the main characters in the news are.

But he never expected that Lin Feng would become a candidate for apostle and his opponent.

Although Lin Feng is known as having invincible strength at the sixth rank and unlimited potential, he is still too young, only 20 years old, and his strength is definitely not as strong as theirs!
Aren't you afraid of dying young if you become an apostle candidate so early?

And the apostle candidates are actually the targets of the apostle missions.

As expected of the Pure Land Organization, they don't play by the rules.

Not only the young man, but three others also received the text message at the same time, one of whom was in the lobby of the hotel where Lin Feng was.

She was a woman around thirty years old, with a classic oval face, delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, and wearing a pink dress that revealed her long, shapely legs. Her black hair cascaded down her back, and her elegant demeanor and conversation, along with her every smile and gesture, exuded a noble air that attracted the attention of many men.

Beside the woman was a middle-aged man in a suit. The man seemed to be in a high position, and people would come up to him from time to time to greet him with a fawning and respectful attitude.

"Yulin, I dreamt about you yesterday," the middle-aged man said to the woman with a smile.

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt that I married you, and also..."

Just then, the woman's phone rang. The specially set ringtone made her expression change slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"I'm checking a text message."

As she spoke, the woman took out her phone from her bag, and soon an amused smile appeared on her lips.
