Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Resonance of Ice and Fire

Translator: 549690339

Zhang Yue couldn't think of any way for Lin Zhen to get the people here to trade with him. After all, Yan Huang's words were not orders, but not many people here would offend the Gods Clan just for some money.

Unless Lin Zhen could offer some enticing benefits without spending money.

Zhang Yue's brain was quite nimble, and he suddenly said, "Huh! Idol, that Holy Son is foolish. Even if you don't trade here, what's the big deal? I can buy whatever you want, he didn't forbid me from trading with others. Even if he did, it's useless for me. I have friends. I can just call a few over, and they won't miss out on buying anything."

Lin Zhen laughed: "Do you think you're the only smart person here? Can Yan Huang not think of this? In fact, he knows very well how much restraint his request has. In the face of huge interests, his request is useless. What he wants is people unwilling to sell things to me unless I provide direct video evidence to make people willingly trade with me. Otherwise, I will lose this battle even without a fight."

"We need evidence? That's bad. Most people wouldn't dare to offend him so directly, " Zhang Yue said with a bitter face.

"Yes, ordinary people wouldn't do that. If I can't provide evidence, it's equivalent to giving him a free advertisement. People all over the world will say, look, Lin Zhen has no way to compete with the Holy Son. With just a word, no one trades with you anymore. You are not even close. At that time, I will become a joke, and no one will take my words seriously. His move is indeed ruthless, defeating the enemy without fighting."

"What should we do then? Do we surrender?" Zhang Yue asked.

"What surrender! It's too late to surrender now. We have only one way, to fight him to the end. You don't think of running away either. I guess the whole world recognizes you as a fake seller at this moment, so you might as well just fight with me."

"Fine, I'll do whatever my idol says."

"Good, let's set up a tent here and prepare for a long stay."

Setting up a tent was very simple. Almost every Martial Artist carried a tent when they went out. Lin Zhen had already collected so many Space Rings that he had plenty of tents.

He chose the largest one and set it up a little further away from the market.

The two then settled down.

First, Lin Zhen made a long list and handed it to Zhang Yue.

"You buy according to this list. Firstly, buy these items, then…"

After teaching Zhang Yue the details of the purchase, Zhang Yue nodded, indicating that he had remembered everything.

Then Lin Zhen transferred fifty billion to Zhang Yue's card as the purchasing fund.

Lin Zhen had to prove himself in this matter. Although there was no fight, this was a war without smoke. If not, Lin Zhen would become a joke, or he would slap Yan Huang's face.

Although Lin Zhen was already quite famous worldwide, he could not compare to Yan Huang. The moment the latter appeared, he already had half of the world's population supporting him. Lin Zhen could only be considered a celebrity and still focused on ordinary people and low-level Martial Artists. It was estimated that those real Star Realm Experts didn't care too much about him.

Zhang Yue went out and returned after a while, handing over a large pile of items to Lin Zhen.

"Idol, I've bought everything. Spending money on these items is like pouring water. I spent half of the fifty billion in the blink of an eye, even after bargaining with people…"

"Alright, there's no need to report the account to me. If you embezzle a little,

I'll pretend not to see it."

Zhang Yue laughed: "How could I? Just a tiny bit, only a little bit."

Zhang Yue left the tent, and Lin Zhen sorted out the items he had bought.

There were mainly two types of items he asked Zhang Yue to buy, one was ice attributed, and the other was fire attributed.

If Lin Zhen wanted to go to the second Polar Region, he had to possess the power of ice or fire.

Even without Yan Huang's involvement, Lin Zhen didn't want to rely entirely on external forces. His abundant experience in his previous life told him that the more dangerous the place, the more unexpected changes could occur. Only one's own strength was the fundamental guarantee of safety. All external forces were unreliable.

Moreover, Lin Zhen's Planet Core already had the power of ice and fire. Why shouldn't he take advantage of this time to absorb and resonate with them?

Some excellent Martial Artists in the world might master more than one elemental power, even two or three, but no one could master both ice and fire at the same time.

Ice and fire were two naturally opposing elements that cannot coexist. To master both ice and fire simultaneously would only result in one outcome: to die from the conflict between the two forces, either burned to a crisp or frozen into an ice sculpture.

However, Lin Zhen was different. He had a Dark Star within him, which served as a carrier – a planet that could store both ice and fire power on itself, right in Lin Zhen's Dantian. He could use whichever power he wanted to.

Therefore, it was the easiest for Lin Zhen to cultivate ice and fire power because the two forces could stimulate each other and help each other grow.

He had unmatched advantages that nobody else had.

He just hadn't had the time to cultivate it, but he wanted to make the most of this opportunity and resonate with both ice and fire.

First, he picked up the ice items, leaving the fire items aside.

Ice and fire powers were different from lightning and light. They were the extremes of temperature. Lin Zhen not only had to master the temperature, but he also had to grow these elemental powers.

He held an A-level Mutant Beast Crystal in his hand. Though it wasn't worth much money, it contained the power of ice.

Lin Zhen placed the crystal in front of his Dantian, and his Dantian started to move, activating the Dark Star inside his body.

The cold air at the ends of the Dark Star slowly began to emerge. Since Lin Zhen hasn't resonated the cold air yet, he could only force it out using the power of his Dantian Qi.

The chilling air absorbed from the blizzard when Lin Zhen was in Zhao Dong was not very strong, with temperatures around minus fifty to sixty degrees "The power of ice element is also very formidable. Minus fifty degrees is known as extreme cold, and minus seventy-five degrees can form a unique phenomenon that can be used in battle. Minus one hundred degrees can instantly kill a person because it will immediately freeze all the water in their body, causing instant death. It is impossible to resist without powerful Star Power."

"At minus one hundred and fifty degrees, it can easily kill a Star Realm Expert, and at minus two hundred degrees, it is called near absolute zero. Supposedly, it's so powerful that it can instantly kill a Comet Stage or even a Constant Realm Third Level expert."

"There is also a legend about absolute zero, which is minus 273.15 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, all the atoms, molecules, and particles in the universe would lose their kinetic energy, and everything would be frozen, including light and lightning, let alone life."

"However, absolute zero is just a legend and theoretically impossible to achieve. I just need to master the temperature that I can use in battle, which I can do."

Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi enveloped the cold air as it moved forward, dead and lifeless without any resonance, like a lifeless object.

But just as Lin Zhen moved the cold air to the edge of leaving his Dantian, the cold air sensed the power of the crystal outside and suddenly became restless.

It wanted to break free and become stronger. If it absorbed the crystal's power outside, it would be stronger!

Lin Zhen certainly wouldn't let the cold air escape. When he sensed the cold air's movement, his Spiritual Power immediately enveloped it.

Ice is the solid state of water, and its water molecules, atoms, etc., have become ice crystals. Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power covered the area, immediately seeing the shape of the ice crystal.

They were tiny hexagonal crystals that formed a cluster of freezing air, condensed but not dispersed.

What Lin Zhen wanted to resonate with was the ice crystal!

He released his Spiritual Power completely, trying to make the cold air feel the opportunity to grow strong, but it had to be guided by him.

The ice crystals tried to break through Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power and Dantian Qi, but within his Dantian Qi sea, he was like a god, and the weak freezing air couldn't do it at all.

"If you want to grow stronger and leave, come and resonate with me!"

His Spiritual Power gradually spread out, bit by bit, blending into the cold air.

With many previous resonance element experiences, Lin Zhen's attempt was much smoother this time. After more than an hour of relentless effort, he suddenly saw the ice crystals in his body become brighter and more cheerful!

Resonance achieved!

Lin Zhen was delighted and pushed the A-level Mutant Beast Crystal forward, which was immediately absorbed by the cold air in his body!

After devouring the external power, the cold air immediately grew stronger and surged.

Having resonated with the cold air, Lin Zhen could clearly feel its changes.

Minus fifty-five degrees…minus sixty degrees…minus sixty-five degrees…minus sixty-eight degrees…

Finally, at minus seventy degrees, the cold air stopped cooling down.

"Great, the Mutant Beast Crystals really worked. Now I'll absorb all the A-level

Crystals and make the cold air grow in quantity. This amount is too little."

Zhang Yue brought back many A-level Crystals, and Lin Zhen immediately started absorbing them in large quantities.

After an entire day, the north and south poles above the Dark Star in Lin Zhen's body had turned silver.

"This should be enough for now. With this cold air as a foundation, the perpetual effect of the Dark Star's rotation can be achieved, so I can use it freely in battle in the future."

With the cold air resonance complete, Lin Zhen wasted no time and began resonating with the power of flame.

Inside the Dark Star, there were many Lava Fires. Lin Zhen followed the same method as the cold air resonance, used the A-level Mutant Beast Crystals as a guide, and started experimenting with resonating with the fire attribute.

Lin Zhen's fire power was similar to that of the cold air, but the fire power was more evident in its higher temperature.

The strength of the fire was mainly reflected in its color, generally divided into red, orange, yellow, and white.

Red consisted of shades like light red, dark red, cherry red, and bright red, etc. And when it reached the dazzling white, the temperature could be high enough to vaporize any material."

Lin Zhen picked up the A-level Mutant Beast Crystal and glanced at the bustling market outside before starting.

Once the ice and fire powers were resonated, Lin Zhen would be able to make the best equipment in this market. Those who wanted to pass through the second layer would definitely come to trade with him, exchanging materials for equipment, and even enhancing their strength and cultivation without spending any money."

By then, Lin Zhen believed that if he asked about Yan Huang's so-called ban, the martial artists would give him a fascinating answer..

Lin Zhen spent another full day cultivating the power of the flame.

After he absorbed all the A-level variant crystals, the flame within him was completely resonated.

Once the resonance was complete, Lin Zhen snapped his fingers, and a bright red flame jumped in his palm.

"The temperature of this bright red flame has exceeded 700 degrees. It is almost enough for basic infusion, but its competitiveness in the market is still not strong. Next, I have to absorb the S-level crystals and further enhance the power of both ice and fire."

This time, Lin Zhen invested a lot, spending a whopping 50 billion in just two days. He has already taken out another 50 billion, after all, S-level crystals are not common goods.

After three more consecutive days, Lin Zhen absorbed a large number of S-level crystals, almost clearing the market of its crystals. His ice-fire power finally made significant progress.

With regards to ice, he had already mastered temperatures down to negative 100 degrees.

As for fire, he had learned to control temperatures up to 1500 degrees and the color of flames had finally advanced to deep orange.

At this level, if Lin Zhen wanted to continue improving, he would need at least quasi-SS level mutant crystals. However, he could not find those in the first layer of the Ancient God City. They were only available in the second layer. Currently, the exploration of the second layer was incomplete, and there was nothing for sale on the market

"It's almost enough for now. I can only reach this level with the Dark Star as a carrier. Others can only dream of resonantly cultivating the power of frost and fire at the same time."

"Next, I should try infusion."

Lin Zhen took a seven-star sword from his space ring.

He had seven seven-star swords, with gold, lightning, and light elemental powers already infused into three of them. Now, he was about to start infusing the fourth and fifth one."

First was the Frost Seven Star Blade.

The white meteorite iron was a non-attribute material. It was heavy in his hands, but no extraordinary sensations occurred.

With a thought from Lin Zhen, ice crystals began entering the seven-star sword.

As soon as the ice crystals appeared, the temperature inside the tent began to drop rapidly.

White mist appeared quickly on the surface of the tent's fabric, then frost formed. The frost layer quickly thickened and froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Thin ice on the ground and top of the tent began to thicken. When Lin Zhen exhaled, his breath was white.

The seven-star sword in hand also became fast cold, turning white and shiny.

A white mist swirled around it, making it difficult to see the body of the sword.

If a thermometer were placed on the seven-star sword at this time, the temperature would have been seen to rapidly decline, down to negative thirty degrees, fifty degrees, eighty degrees…

Until it reached minus one hundred degrees, which was the lowest temperature Lin Zhen could currently control.

"Buzz!"

The Seven Star Blade emitted a humming sound, the infusion of the frost

power was complete!

Lin Zhen withdrew the frost power. The frost energy inside the Seven Star Blade was full and had formed its own circulation. The quality had also reached the peak of a top-quality star artifact.

With a flicker of Lin Zhen's spiritual power, the Seven Star Blade flew a circle around the tent and almost completely froze the tent. There was a thick layer of hard ice everywhere, it was even colder than the South Pole.

"That should do it. With such a blade, even a Star Realm expert could be affected. As for non-Star Realm individuals, most of them would probably be instantly frozen by its chill."

After infusing the Frost Seven Star Blade, Lin Zhen started to infuse the Fierce Fire Seven Star Sword.

The reason for infusing the ice power was to freeze the tent first, and then infuse the fire power. This was to only melt the ice, instead of immediately burning the tent.

He held the Seven Star Sword in the center of his hand and with a thought, the firepower began to swarm in.

The white attribute-free blade immediately turned a light red color, and then steadily darkened.

From light red to deep red, deep red to cherry red, cherry red to bright red, bright red to light orange…

Finally, when it reached deep orange, the Fire Seven Star Blade was fully infused.

By that time, all the hard ice inside the tent had just melted, and the tent was baked dry. If the temperature increased a bit more, it might start to burn.

Lin Zhen couldn't put down the Fierce Fire Seven Star Sword. Although the top quality star artifact wasn't sharp enough, it was its fire power that was most potent. Without special skills or abilities, it would likely be challenging to defend against.

Just as he finished with these two Seven Star Swords, Zhang Yue walked in from outside

"Phew, Idol, I'm back."

"Did you buy everything I asked you to?"

"Everything is gathered, all in here." Zhang Yue handed a space ring to Lin Zhen, who opened it to find a huge pile of equipment inside, from lower grade star artifacts to top-quality star artifacts, with the lower grades being more numerous, of course.

These star artifacts all have one thing in common, they do not have any properties, they are just purely weapons or armors.

"Good, these things can be used right now, I'll start infusing them, and then you can sell them."

Zhang Yue nodded, but then hesitated: "Idol, recently on the internet… The sentiment online is really against you."

"Oh, how so?"

"It's all about Yan Huang's incident. Many people have posted videos online and you've stirred up public anger this time. It feels like people all over the world are cursing at you. There's all sorts of talk.. Even being with you, I've received hundreds of millions of insults. But compared to you, I am nothing." "Oh! Are there that many people, how about in Hua Xia?"

"Compared to other countries, Hua Xia has fewer, and among all the base cities, Ice City has the fewest."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, just as long as his own country and hometown hasn't gotten out of control, let the foreigners do their thing.

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't seem to care, Zhang Yue relaxed a bit: "However, many people are standing up for you, especially those in Ice City and Hua Xia. Many of them have benefited from you, and some simply dislike the Star Sky Divine Teaching. They are all supporting you. The online word wars are now fierce, do you want to check it out?"

Lin Zhen shook his head slightly: "There's no need. This first time may be difficult to accept, but I estimate the reaction won't be as strong when I criticize the Star Sky Divine Teaching again.

"Ah! There's a next time? Idol, aren't you afraid Su Saintess might be upset?

She is the Saintess of the Gods Clan."

Lin Zhen smiled: "Yue'er won't be upset. In fact, Yue'er might be the most awake person in the whole Gods Clan right now. It's just that her status means she can't speak up for me, but I've told her this beforehand."

A few days ago, Lin Zhen had a call with Su Mingyue and informed her of his decision. He didn't want Su Mingyue to feel torn because of this. Su Mingyue has had deep-seated doubts about the True God of the Stars, she stayed in the Gods Clan out of habit, and because she hadn't made up her mind to leave yet, unless she had to choose between Lin Zhen and the Gods Clan.

Su Mingyue also respected Lin Zhen's decision and later told Lin Zhen that Holy Son had already arrived in Hua Xia, and had the three major base city churches in the Northwest, the Heavenly Mansion, and the South, express their obedience to the Holy Son's leadership, rejoining the Constantinople Divine Power Church under the European Union's management.

Currently, Holy Son Yan Huang is in the Demon Capital Base City. If he regains control of the Demon Capital Church, then only Capital's God's Grace Cathedral would remain in Hua Xia. After all, the Sofia Cathedral in Ice City led by Allen of the Great Divine Sect has long been on Holy Son's team.

In these past few days, Gongsun Du has also been considering this issue. He knew Yan Huang would definitely return, and in Su Mingyue's eyes, Gongsun Du wouldn't turn down Yan Huang's offer, given that Gongsun Du is a true believer. He would be expected to obey Holy Son's leadership.

After ending the call with Su Mingyue, Lin Zhen knew that Holy Son would once again, just like in his previous life, unify the Star Sky Divine Teaching of the whole world.

Once the Star Sky Divine Teaching is unified, it would become a force that can compete with nations, making it the eighth largest force in the world.

This process is something Lin Zhen currently cannot stop. What he can do now is to slap Holy Son in the face hard in the Ancient God City.

Only in this way would people no longer believe that Lin Zhen simply can't compare to Holy Son. This will allow future plans to continue to proceed, and cast a shadow over his grand unifying achievement.

The videos circulating online are nothing more than showing how impressive Yan Huang is, how approachable he is, how he medically treated a Sand Russia girl, and casually left a word which suppressed Lin Zhen's ability to do business.

What Lin Zhen has said has undoubtedly become an object of criticism, which Lin Zhen has long understood.

He took out a lower-grade star artifact armor from the collection of artifacts, and then said to Zhang Yue: "You go and prepare now. Prepare a big stall, set the prices as I instructed, we start in three days. I'll focus on infusing the Ice and Fire equipment these three days, try to finish all the infusing."

"Alright Idol, I've got this. Hehe, it's great to be with Idol, I used to be a secondary trader, now suddenly I've become a producer, this could make a huge fortune."

Zhang Yue added tentatively, "Idol, the market conditions are getting better and better. For example, at the Flame Polar Region, armor that can reach minus fifty degrees after triggering Dantian qi can sell for a decent price. If it's seventy degrees then it's a best seller. If we could pull off eighty degrees…whew!"

"Alright, stop probing. Seventy degrees is nothing big, the highest being minus hundred degrees. Go and get it done."

"One hundred degrees! My God! That will definitely make those little guys drool. The highest I have ever seen was minus eighty-two degrees and it sold for eight hundred and twenty million. Starting from fifty degrees, one degree is one hundred million."

"Hmm, that's the deal, besides, there's also the fire, up to fifteen hundred degrees. Go and publicize it."

Once infused, these temperatures are emitted. Only when Dantian qi is activated can it be revealed. It doesn't mean that the weapon or armor itself has reached this temperature. The emitted temperature will resist incoming cold or heat waves and won't harm the martial artist themselves.

Zhang Yue agreed and left. But only when he got outside did he suddenly realize, how can Lin Zhen infuse both ice and fire power at the same time?

Won't he be killed by the conflicting energies? Zhang Yue was puzzled.

But Zhang Yue had his own way of doing things. If he didn't understand something, he wouldn't think about it. The only explanation was that Lin Zhen is a genius, and the world of a genius is different from that of an ordinary person.

After three days of intensive preparation, Lin Zhen's stall finally opened for business..

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Holy Son Doesn 't Amount to Anything

Translator: 549690339

Zhang Yue has been busy these days, setting up a large stall. Although there are quite a few stalls in the Ancient God City, none of them are very large, because Martial Artists don't have many items to sell.

The most popular thing here now is to get equipment and medicine needed for the second level.

The purpose of medicine is to prepare for the passage through the extreme point, but most Martial Artists do not want to go to the third level, because the Mutated Beasts on the second level are already strong enough. It's not easy to survive there, going to the third level is almost like seeking death.

To survive on the second level, the most important thing is equipment, either cold-resistant or heat-resistant, just these two kinds.

Many Martial Artists find it difficult to imbue equipment with their power because their elemental powers within their bodies are limited. Unlike Lin Zhen who has the Dark Star, his power can be constantly replenished and used freely. After imbuing a piece of equipment, he needs to rest for a long time and use crystals to replenish his consumed elemental power, so the output is very low.

Moreover, crystals also need to be purchased with money, and how many people can be like Lin Zhen, taking out hundreds of billions without even blinking an eye?

Therefore, there are not many good equipments on the market, and their prices are exceptionally high.

So when Zhang Yue set up the Ice and Fire Equipment stall, many Martial Artists sneered at it.

"Zhang Yue, why are you setting up such a large stall? Do you have that many fake goods to sell?"

"Exactly, where did your equipment come from? Ice and Fire Equipment is needed for the second level. We need real stuff, not the kind of fake stuff you sell. It's absolutely impossible to work."

Zhang Yue looked at the Martial Artists and merchants who had gathered around and clapped his hands: "You don't have to worry about this. My idol Lin Zhen will solve the problem of supplies. Just wait and see."

"Lin Zhen? What kind of equipment can he come up with? I know he's a genius, with a resonance of light and electrical elements, but we need Ice and Fire. How could he get it?"

"Indeed, even if he comes up with some equipment, do you think we'll offend the Holy Son for just a piece of trash? I'll never buy his stuff, and he won't get anything from me."

"Me neither. Although I don't like the Holy Son very much, I'd rather save my money."

Zhang Yue looked around: "You can say whatever you want now, just don't cry and beg me to sell it to you later. By then, I might not sell it to you."

"Hmph, you just keep pretending. We'll see what you and Lin Zhen can come up with.'

"Where is Lin Zhen? He hasn't been seen for days. Has he been defeated by the online curses?"

"It's very likely. By offending the Holy Son, his life won't be easy now."

"Lin Zhen is stupid, why did he try to go against the Holy Son? Even though he won the War God's Knockout, he can't compare to those Star Realm Experts.

Small people should be aware of their place, and this is stupidity."

While these people were discussing, the curtain of Lin Zhen's tent was finally opened.

After days of cultivation and absorbing a lot of crystals, Lin Zhen's power had improved a bit. Not only had he stabilized his realm at the Peak of Level Nine, but he had even set foot on the threshold of the Star Realm.

Although Lin Zhen had offended the Holy Son and the Gods Clan, in the eyes of the War Gods and those close to the Star Realm, his strength was still incomparably strong. No one dared to say anything unpleasant to his face and just watched coldly from the sidelines.

Arriving at the stall, Lin Zhen looked at it: "Well done, Zhang Yue, It's almost ready. "

"Almost, just need to put the goods on display."

"Alright, let's get started."

Lin Zhen began taking one item out from his Space Ring at a time and placing them on the stall.

As soon as the first piece of equipment was put on display, it immediately attracted people's attention.

It was a Lower Grade Star Artifact armguard, with a faint blue light coming from it, a cold attribute.

"Wow! This armguard is not bad."

A Martial Artist walked over, took a thermometer, and began to test the temperature of the armguard.

He stimulated a bit of Dantian energy, allowing the cold air inside the armguard to come out a little bit. After testing, he was immediately surprised: "Wow! This armguard can release a low temperature of minus seventy degrees, enough to walk halfway across the Flame River."

Many Martial Artists around were immediately tempted. A Star Artifact with a temperature of minus seventy degrees was not easy to find. They wondered if they should buy it.

However, they didn't take action right away, after all, it was not worth offending the Holy Son for just one armguard.

After that, they were dazzled by a series of items: cold attribute armor, cold attribute helmet, cold attribute shield, fiery long knife, fiery leg guard, fiery skirt armor, one Lower Grade Star Artifact after another was displayed.

Martial Artists on the side followed the tests, and were constantly amazed.

"Wow! Leg guards that provide protection at minus seventy-two degrees, what a great item! It is crucial to have such leg guards when walking on the Flame River. With this thing, one can walk on fire anywhere."

"Hey, look at this; it's a helmet that can withstand up to 900 degrees above-zero. Wearing this while releasing heat outside ensures that the cold air in the Antarctic can't freeze your ears and nose. It's better than medicine."

"This is nice, this is a shield with a thousand degrees of firepower, with this, one can basically survive in the Antarctic. I want this!"

"Don't rush; let's have a look around. These are Lower Grade Star Artifacts; we'll think about making a purchase if there are Middle Grade Star Artifacts."

Lin Zhen arranged more than fifty Lower Grade Star Artifacts before displaying the Middle Grade Star Artifacts.

There were over thirty Middle Grade Star Artifacts, mainly armor for various body parts, each with different levels of cold and heat resistance.

Upon seeing the Middle Grade Star Artifacts, the Martial Artists couldn't restrain themselves any longer. Many of them approached Lin Zhen: "Lin… African Union and Hua Xia have always had a friendly relationship, and I am your loyal fan. Could you kindly give me priority to buy two pieces of equipment, that shield and those boots?"

"Lin, although some Martial Artists from Sand Russia might have offended you, I haven't, and many ordinary people from Sand Russia like you too. I'm willing to be your good friend and partner for life. I want that sword and helmet. Could you also give me a Lower Grade Star Artifact skirt armor as a

"Lin Zhen, we both belong to Hua Xia. Many people have been criticizing you online these days, and I defended you. Please consider your compatriots if you have good things."

"Forget it, now that the world is globally connected, the concept of national borders is gradually becoming blurred. I believe Lin is not a narrow-minded nationalist. We, European Union Martial Artists, are willing to be friends with Lin Zhen. An Ning is Lin's girlfriend and has stayed with us in the European

Union for a while."

"Don't be a hypocrite. An Ning was nearly killed by someone from the European Union. You even have the guts to talk about being friends with Lin. Have you forgotten that the Holy Son is also from the European Union? Be careful; he might cause you trouble."

"I… if Lin sells me a High Grade Celestial Device with fire elements, I won't be afraid!"

Lin Zhen ignored those people. After displaying the Middle Grade Star Artifacts, he began arranging the High Grade Celestial Devices. There were nearly twenty High Grade Celestial Devices, which were not cheap but attracted even more onlookers.

In the midst of the exclamations, Lin Zhen finally displayed seven or eight Top Quality Star Artifacts.

"Oh my god! An armor that can withstand negative 100 degrees! With this and some medicine, I can get close to the North Pole. I want this; I'll pay one hundred billion!"

"Give it a break! You think you can buy a Top Quality elemental armor for a hundred billion? Dream on. I'll pay two hundred billion!"

"Two hundred and two billion! I am a fan of Su Mingyue. Su Saintess is like my sister in my heart. Brother-in-law, please sell it to me!"

"Get lost! You're nearly sixty years old; stop claiming her as a sister. It should be someone young and promising like me who is under fifty."

At first, many Gods Clan disciples were watching coldly from the sidelines. They knew about Lin Zhen's conflict with the Holy Son and made up their minds not to support Lin Zhen. However, when those Top Quality Star Artifacts were displayed, they couldn't help themselves.

Should they buy anything or betray the Holy Son's wishes?

Beliefs and reality began to clash violently in their hearts, making it difficult for them to decide.

Once everything was arranged, a European Union War God immediately came to the booth: "Lin, I want to buy a sword and a pair of boots. Give me a price." As he spoke, the War God pointed at the two pieces of equipment.

Glancing at the Middle Grade Star Artifact boots and sword, Lin Zhen said indifferently, "Are you a follower of the Gods Clan?"

"Yes… so what? I will pay for the items I buy." replied the European Union War God.

"Heh, you see that many people are filming, right? These videos will be posted online, meaning the Holy Son will see them. You all know about the Holy Son's conflict with me, buying something from me is like slapping his face. Have you thought about the consequences? He might expel you from the Gods Clan." The European Union War God froze, unsure of what to do.

Lin Zhen waved his hand: "You can leave; my equipment won't be sold to you." The War God was indignant and paced anxiously on the side, unsure of what to

do.

A Peak of Level Nine Martial Artist from the African Union approached Lin Zhen: "Lin, I would like to buy armor and a shield, that one and that one…"

Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, "I don't think it's a good idea. I have to consider your safety. If the Holy Son causes you trouble, wouldn't I be the culprit?"

The African Union War God laughed: "Lin, thank you for your concern, but you don't have to worry about me; I'm not a follower of the Gods Clan, and I'm not controlled by the Holy Son. Moreover, can he interfere with my shopping? The Holy Son is nothing! I'm willing to buy whatever I want with my money, can he do anything about it like biting my…?"

Hearing the African Union War God's words, Lin Zhen finally smiled: "Alright then, but my items are quite expensive here, mainly for exchanging. You can discuss the specifics with my assistant, Zhang Yue."

The negotiation process was quick as the African Union War God exchanged five Crystals, two Dark Energy Stones, and thirty billion in cash for the two pieces of equipment worth almost 100 billion. Lin Zhen's store not only sold but also purchased various items. Some good items could replace cash.

So that's how it is! Seeing the African Union War God cursing the Holy Son a couple of times and actually getting the equipment, the eyes of the people around them lit up..

The equipment here at Lin Zhen's store is really expensive, but there is a good thing, many valuable items can be used as a substitute for money.

Zhang Yue listed a long list of items, such as Dark Energy Stones, Elemental Crystals, and Ancient Secret Books, all of which can be used in place of money to buy equipment here.

Although Lin Zhen's items are expensive, they are all worth the price, and compared with other Ice and Fire Equipment on the market, their cost-effectiveness is still higher.

Many Martial Artists who are close to Star Realm and Advanced War Gods came over and traded with Lin Zhen and Zhang Yue. This time, without Lin Zhen's reminder, they all said some good words about Holy Son Sun, showing their absolute support for Lin Zhen.

For those who believe in the Gods Clan, Holy Son Sun might be supreme, but for those who don't, he is just a powerful Star Realm expert, and he can't possibly blame everyone for just buying equipment.

During the process, even a Gods Clan member appeared to buy equipment, and after saying a couple of bad words about Holy Son Sun, he became flustered and accidentally dropped his mask, revealing that he was the first War God of the European Union. It turned into a big joke.

By the end of the first day, Lin Zhen had already recovered his costs and even gained a lot of valuable items.

He got more than sixty Dark Energy Stones alone, and together with what he already had, he now had over a hundred Dark Energy Stones.

This is a huge fortune, not to mention many Mutant Beast Crystals and Star Artifacts.

As the day was turning dark and more than half of the goods were sold, a man in a green robe appeared in front of Lin Zhen's stall just as he and Zhang Yue were preparing to pack up.

Seeing this man, Lin Zhen's heart clenched because he was a Star Realm

Expert!

It's not just an ordinary Star Realm expert, but one who has reached the Meteor Stage.

"This is a master from the Star List!" Lin Zhen immediately made a judgment.

The green-robed man showed interest in a top-quality Star Artifact, a pair of boots.

Boots are even more important than armor when walking in the Polar Region, and most of the items here are boots, but top-quality Star Artifact boots are not affordable for ordinary people.

Out of the seven or eight top-quality Star Artifacts, only three were left, and the best among them were these boots infused with a hundred degrees of cold energy.

The green-robed man looked at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen." Lin Zhen didn't know him, but he knew Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen smiled a little: "Senior, what would you like to buy?"

The green-robed man pointed at the boots and said, "I want these, do I need to say 'Holy Son Sun is nothing' first before I can buy them?"

Lin Zhen laughed: "That's just a joke, too many people have already said it."

"Alright, I won't say it then, even though he really isn't that great. How much are these boots?"

"This top-quality Star Artifact is the best one in the stall, 30 billion."

The green-robed man frowned slightly, 30 billion was not a small amount, and he didn't have that much money on hand.

He glanced at Lin Zhen's exchange list, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Are you willing to spend 15 billion to buy this ancient secret book?"

Lin Zhen looked at his fingertip and his heart stirred immediately.

Because the green-robed man was pointing at the fifth layer of the Nine Layers Spear River, Overturning River!

Lin Zhen had been longing for this secret book for a long time, but he had never been able to acquire it; he didn't expect the green-robed man to have it.

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Zhen nodded: "Yes, if senior has this secret book, it can substitute for 15 billion cash in my stall."

The man nodded, looked for a while, took out a Chip Secret Art and some Dark Energy Stones from his Space Ring, accumulated a total of 20 billion cash, and finally added 10 billion more cash to complete the transaction with Lin Zhen.

"Alright, finally got a good deal. Lin Zhen, let's get to know each other, my name is Jin Qichao."

He reached out and shook hands with Lin Zhen, introducing himself.

"So it's Senior Jin, very nice to meet you." Lin Zhen smiled and was secretly surprised in his heart, so this man was Jin Qichao.

Jin Qichao was also a famous person in his previous life, the founder of the Northwest Military Arts, and a contemporary of Chen Fenglie. However, he didn't spend much time in his home country but had been active in the Central Asian region. In the previous life, when the Extraterrestrial Civilization invaded, he led a group of experts from Northwest Military Arts to fight a brilliant sniper battle, annihilating an invader's unit, which was one of the few victories in Hua Xia's history of fighting against the Extraterrestrial Civilization.

"Hehe, no need to call me senior repeatedly, I've heard Li Changying and Feng Ni mentioned you before, but now you've left them far behind, maybe we'll be peers someday."

After some small talk with Lin Zhen, Jin Qichao entered the Ancient God City.

Lin Zhen obtained the secret book of the fifth layer, Overturning River, but he didn't start practicing it immediately. Instead, he packed up all his things and handed them over to Zhang Yue for management. Only then did he return to his tent, take out the Chip Secret Art, connect to the Virtual Helmet, and begin studying it.

At the Capital Base City, Yan Huang and Allen arrived at the God's Grace

Cathedral.

Gongsun Du, who had received the news earlier, was already waiting at the entrance, and as the Divine Sect's Saintess, Su Mingyue naturally had to come out to greet them. Dressed in a cleric's robe, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her simple makeup couldn't hide her stunning beauty, which made Yan Huang freeze for a moment.

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, then sat down in the room. Yan Huang got straight to the point: "Senior Gongsun, I believe you are already aware of my purpose in coming today."

Gongsun Du nodded slightly, he was well aware of this.

"The Star Sky Divine Teaching has been divided for hundreds of years and should have been united long ago. Now, besides the United States and Brazil, countries like Sand Russia, European Union, African Union, and India have officially joined the Gods Clan. As for Hua Xia, there is only the God's Grace Cathedral left. I wonder what Gongsun, the great Divine Sect, thinks about this?"

Gongsun Du had also thought about this a long time ago. The union of the Gods Clan was what he had hoped for. Since the Holy Son appeared, he naturally had no objection.

"Holy Son, Gongsun Du has no objection. The Gods Clan in the world should be united, and this is the best."

"Haha, that's good. Since the Great Divine Sect has no objection, then this matter is settled." Yan Huang smiled slightly, and his gaze swept over Su Mingyue, who was quietly looking at her phone with her head down.

At this time, Allen proposed: "This great event should be celebrated. I wonder if

Gongsun, the great Divine Sect, is prepared?" "The meal has been prepared, just waiting for the Holy Son."

"Alright, let's eat." Yan Huang stood up.

At this moment, Su Mingyue suddenly laughed, and her voice was crisp.

Gongsun Du frowned slightly. Su Mingyue's manners were usually excellent, and she was also very calm, rarely losing her composure. What had happened today?

"Yue'er, what are you doing?" Gongsun Du asked.

"Ah! Master!" Realizing her mistake, Su Mingyue hurriedly stood up. "I apologize, Master. I just saw a funny piece of news, so I laughed. I'm not feeling well today, so I won't join you for dinner. I'll go back to my room now."

Su Mingyue nodded slightly to everyone as an apology, then turned and left the hall, returning to her room.

Seeing Su Mingyue leave, a trace of regret appeared in Yan Huang's eyes.

"Holy Son, I apologize for Yue'er's behavior. She is usually not like this. She is now 20 years old, but sometimes she seems to be maturing in reverse. When I have the chance, I'll give her a good talking-to."

"There's no need, the Saintess is true to her nature. Forcing her to change would only make her less beautiful. She is fine the way she is." Yan Huang waved his hand and then asked Allen, "What did Saintess laugh at just now?"

Allen wasn't quite sure either and looked at the several divine officials nearby, "Did any of you see what the Saintess was laughing at?"

One of the divine officials stammered, "It seemed to be a piece of news. I didn't see it clearly, but it looked like something from the Martial Artist forum, where people were rushing to buy stuff."

After hearing this, Yan Huang immediately pulled out his phone and started browsing through the forum.

The news was easy to find. Many videos on the War God's forum were about the Ancient God City.

The headlines were varied.

"Holy Son's ban becomes a joke, Martial Artists vie to support Lin Zhen." "God's Clan believers buy equipment in disguise and curse Holy Son as shit."

"War God Challenge champion Lin Zhen reaps a huge bounty in Ancient God

City, with Holy Son as stepping stone."

Yan Huang's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he said nothing. Instead, he watched the video of the Gods Clan believer purchasing equipment. Although he didn't say anything, Allen could tell that the Holy Son was very displeased.

It turned out that Su Mingyue was laughing at this. Allen thought it was a bad sign; the Hua Xia Saintess laughing at the Divine Sect's Holy Son might well enrage Yan Huang.

But Lin Zhen was indeed remarkable. Even under the ban imposed by the Holy Son, he managed to gather a large number of Martial Artists to trade with him, trampling the Holy Son's dignity underfoot.

Those media reporters had no moral integrity; they would say anything to attract attention. Now that the Holy Son had become a laughingstock, his prestige must have taken a hit.

After a while, Yan Huang closed his phone and stood up, saying to Gongsun Du, "I suddenly remembered that I have already agreed on a meeting time with the great Divine Sect in Los Angeles, so I won't be staying in Hua Xia."

Hearing that Yan Huang wouldn't be staying for dinner, Gongsun Du was taken aback and hurriedly stood up to see him off.

As Yan Huang and Allen boarded the Black Ghost outside the God's Grace Cathedral, Allen felt the temperature around Yan Huang dropping by several degrees, indicating the Holy Son's extreme displeasure.

"Holy Son, about this matter…"

"Lin Zhen, I really underestimated him." Yan Huang closed his eyes slightly.

Allen didn't know what to say and just sat beside him.

"I heard that Su Mingyue is Lin Zhen's girlfriend?" Yan Huang asked.

Allen nodded, "It seems so."

"According to the original doctrine of Gods Clan, there should be only one Holy Son and one Saintess. They should become husband and wife, serving the deity together. However, due to the division of Gods Clan, each country has produced their own Saintess. It's time to sort things out; there can be only one Saintess."

Allen understood Yan Huang's meaning, "So, is Su Saintess still qualified?"

"With her initial feelings of love, she still remains pure. As long as she has no distractions, she will be a qualified Saintess."

Allen nodded immediately, "I understand. I'll take care of this matter and ensure that Su Saintess is devoted to serving the True God of the Stars, without any distractions.."

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Repairing the Star-gazing Mirror

Translator: 549690339

Zhang Yue has been really busy these few days.

Lin Zhen got a secret book and then went back to his tent and didn't come out, leaving all the matters to him.

As a merchant, Zhang Yue really couldn't understand Lin Zhen's current approach.

That kid has money, but he's too extravagant. Apart from putting some equipment infused with energy outside the tent daily, he can't be found for the rest of the time, and Lin Zhen even gave Zhang Yue a huge amount of money!

300 billion!

This 300 billion cash was meant for Zhang Yue to purchase things. Lin Zhen has now started collecting those strange coins, even silver and gold coins, and also a rare type of white crystal coin, which he doesn't know what other use it has apart from being good-looking.

That's fine, it doesn't cost much, but Lin Zhen started purchasing a large number of Star Artifacts.

Now many War Gods have Star Artifacts in their hands, even more than one or two. Some unused Star Artifacts are not easy to digest for the time being, but Lin Zhen has begun to purchase them.

No matter if it is a Lower, Middle, High Grade or Top Quality, Lin Zhen does not refuse anyone, and mainly purchases weapons, while armor is purchased less, the cheaper and more, the better.

Zhang Yue calculated that if Lin Zhen didn't make such a massive purchase, the stall could even earn 50 billion a day!

However, under Lin Zhen's frenzied purchases, not only did the daily profit of

50 billion go in vain, but it also cost him an additional 50 billion!

Particularly after this news spread, many high-level martial artists from around the world came here to sell equipment. On the busiest day, Zhang Yue spent as much as 110 billion on purchases!

This money was spent like water, causing Zhang Yue's heart to tremble. To his knowledge, Lin Zhen already had more than 2,000 Star Artifacts in his possession, but he really didn't know what Lin Zhen wanted to do with them, as they were useless for eating or drinking.

Lin Zhen's tent was also moved quite far away, and sometimes there were flames or wind swelling the tent, making people wonder what he was up to.

Recently he heard that there seemed to be big movements from the Gods Clan, with Holy Son Yan Huang and the heads of various countries meeting, but he didn't know what they were researching. Zhang Yue wanted to talk to Lin Zhen but had no chance, so he could only wait for Lin Zhen to come out.

Lin Zhen had also been extremely busy these days. other than completely memorizing the mystery of the Fifth Layer of Overturning River of the Nine Layers Spear River, he didn't even have time to practice, as he was doing something else.

Star Shift!

Lin Zhen thought far ahead, considering when humans would leave the Solar System and venture into the interstellar world, where survival would be even more difficult.

For martial artists to cultivate and reach the peak, talent and perseverance alone are not enough, one also needs a large number of resources, which means money.

Although Lin Zhen has now collected quite a few interstellar currencies, it's still far from enough. He needs to have the ability to make money.

So he finally started something he had planned for a long time – Star Shift.

Repairing the Star-gazing Mirror is equivalent to Star Shift, which is not a simple task. In the interstellar world, there's a very profitable and costly profession called Star Shift Master, which is the same as repairing the Star-gazing Mirror, transferring the Star Power of other Star Artifacts into a

discarded Star Artifact of the same level and completing the Star Shift.

It's not necessary to use ten Star Artifacts to make one Star Shift, the higher the level of a Star Shift Master, the fewer Star Artifacts needed for the process.

To become a Star Shift Master, one must first become a Star Shift Apprentice.

Apprentices are divided into three grades: Third Grade, Second Grade, First Grade, and Quasi-Star Shift Master.

A Third Grade Star Shift Apprentice is qualified with a three-to-one ratio, which means using three Lower Grade Star Artifacts to complete the Star Shift of one Lower Grade Star Artifact.

Second Grade also follows the ratio of three-to-one, but completes the Star Shift of Middle Grade Star Artifacts.

First Grade still follows the three-to-one ratio, completing the Star Shift of High Grade Star Artifacts.

Quasi-Star Shift Masters complete the Star Shift of Top Quality Star Artifacts, also at a consumption ratio of three-to-one. Anything below this ratio is considered unqualified.

As for a true Star Shift Master, they can achieve a three-to-one Star Shift for Sacred Artifacts, and have almost a one-to-one success rate when it comes to Star Artifacts.

At present, hardly anyone on Earth can afford to do this, because Star Shift has to be done from low to high levels. The success of a Star Shift Master is built on countless failed Star Shifts, so they can gradually use fewer Star Artifacts to complete the process.

But Lin Zhen can, as he has 400 billion in cash in his hands and his strong ability to infuse equipment, making money while purchasing, and mastering Star Shift.

However, Lin Zhen didn't start Star Shift right away, but first familiarized himself with the process. He currently had a Star Transfer Furnace, with the target of the Star Shift placed on the upper layer and the materials for the Star Artifacts placed on the lower layer, then a powerful flame was used to forge them and transfer the Star Energy to the upper layer.

He was currently in control of a deep orange flame, which could only be used for the Star Shift of Middle Grade Star Artifacts at most. To complete a shift of higher-level artifacts, he needed more powerful firepower.

Nevertheless, to increase his firepower, he would need at least a large number of Quasi-SS Class crystals.

He didn't have such crystals, and they weren't available on the market either, so he needed to resonate with the Wind Element. Fire aided by Wind Power could be even stronger.

Lin Zhen also purchased many Wind Element crystals, and this time he resonated and strengthened them.

Resonance was not difficult for Lin Zhen, who possessed a Dark Star. He completed it within two hours, and the Wind Element within his body could generate wind force up to Level Six.

However, this was not enough. Lin Zhen absorbed many more A-level

Elemental Crystals, enabling his body's wind power to reach Level Nine.

Level Nine was still insufficient. Lin Zhen also had some S-level crystals, so he absorbed them all, ultimately enabling his wind power to reach Level Twelve.

Although Level Twelve wind power seemed quite strong, Lin Zhen knew that it was not considered very powerful. Yue Zhenhua's wind power had reached Level Fifteen, which was the true power of a hurricane. However, Lin Zhen did not have Quasi-SS Class crystals required for that level.

The maximum wind power on Earth could reach Level Eighteen, which was almost a world-destroying storm for humans. Yet, within the interstellar realm, this was not considered significant.

As far as Lin Zhen knew, there were higher levels above Level Eighteen. A Level

Twenty-One storm was called the Doomsday Storm, capable of easily destroying all traces on Earth, including the collapse of mountain ranges and continental plate shifting.

Above Level Twenty-One was the Level Twenty-Four hurricane, known as the Galaxy Storm, which could potentially destroy asteroids.

Above Level Twenty-Four, one could reach Level Twenty-Seven, known as the Space Storm, which could sweep an entire Star System. However, Lin Zhen had only ever heard of this in legends.

These levels were too far away for Lin Zhen. His current Level Twelve wind power, which transformed into a single wisp, was enough for him to use in Star Shifting.

After absorbing the Wind Element, Lin Zhen even attempted to absorb and resonate with the Earth element.

He had also purchased some Earth element energy crystals, both A-level and S-level. If he could absorb the Earth element, the Dark Star would have real soil to exist on and could become a solid entity, which would surely lead to another breakthrough in his strength.

However, after attempting it, Lin Zhen was frustrated to find out that due to the high degree of condensation in his Dark Star, low-level powers could no longer be integrated.

That is to say, if Lin Zhen wanted to resonate and absorb the Earth element, his A-level and S-level crystals would no longer work. He would need at least Quasi-SS level or even higher crystals to accomplish it.

This discovery left Lin Zhen somewhat disappointed. If he had known earlier, he would have absorbed the Earth element sooner. He had waited a while to stabilize his realm, but now there was a problem.

"Forget it, if I can't absorb it, then I can't. I'll wait until I get more advanced Earth element crystals in the future."

Lin Zhen didn't dwell on the issue and began to practice Star Shifting.

First, he took out an armor he had acquired from Yue Feng. The Star Power had been completely depleted, and he placed it on the upper layer of the Star Transfer Furnace, while ten Lower Grade Star Artifacts were placed on the lower layer.

With a wave of his hand, flames appeared and were injected into the Star Transfer Furnace.

Then he raised his hand again, and a wisp of Level Seven wind power entered, blowing continuously and causing the temperature of the flames to rise higher and higher.

The ten Lower Grade Star Artifacts below began emitting a faint starlight, constantly moving towards the upper layer.

Lin Zhen clumsily attempted to prevent the loss of Star Power using his Spiritual Power.

Ten minutes later…

A splash of starlight, and all ten Lower Grade Star Artifacts below were scrapped.

"Whew! I failed, but it's okay. My techniques are not proficient yet. The collaboration of fire and wind power is also not very good. Most Star Shift

Masters in the interstellar realm have only fire power and not wind power.

After all, not everyone can master both elemental powers. I must establish a solid foundation to become the best Star Shift Master in the future. I need to cooperate well with fire and wind power. After all, I have plenty of Star Artifacts to consume."

Over the next few days, Lin Zhen entered a frenzy of consumption. Countless Star Artifacts turned into waste, and his Star Shifting skills gradually improved.

On the second day, Lin Zhen finally managed to repair the armor at the cost of ten Star Artifacts.

With this breakthrough, Lin Zhen's progress became much smoother afterward.

Under the heavy consumption of a large number of Star Artifacts, he managed to achieve one Star Shift using only five Lower Grade Star Artifacts by the

second night.

On the morning of the third day, he reached four artifacts…

By the third night, he finally met the three-to-one requirement and could be considered as a Lower Grade Star Shift Apprentice.

However, Lin Zhen did not stop and began to try Star Shifting with Middle Grade Star Artifacts.

Over a thousand Lower Grade Star Artifacts and more than six hundred Middle Grade Star Artifacts were consumed by Lin Zhen within five days!

Yet, the achievements were significant. At noon on the sixth day, Lin Zhen managed to repair Middle Grade Star Artifacts at a three-to-one ratio, and even reached a two-to-one ratio in repairing Lower Grade Star Artifacts. He could now be regarded as a Middle Grade Star Shift Apprentice.

By the morning of the seventh day, after consuming hundreds of High Grade Star Artifacts, his spending speed could be said to be unprecedented.

Finally, at the expense of a large number of High Grade Star Artifacts, Lin Zhen completed the repair of the Star-gazing Mirror!

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Fight a Battle with This World!

Translator: 549690339

Looking at the Star-gazing Mirror in his hand, which had regained its starlight, and the smooth and complete mirror surface, waves of excitement filled Lin Zhen's heart.

Six trillion!

In the past few days, he had spent at least six trillion, not only using up the money he had poured into elemental energy equipment but even investing an additional three trillion of his own!

With all this money invested, he had only just managed to restore a high-grade celestial device, and he was still far from becoming a first-grade Star Shift apprentice.

"Thankfully, the Star-gazing Mirror has been repaired. This time, I believe Old Man Gongsun Du will have no reason to prevent Yue'er and me from being together."

After putting away the Star-gazing Mirror, Lin Zhen stood up and stretched his body.

As he walked out of the tent, Zhang Yue had just woken up and ran over to Lin Zhen upon seeing him.

"Lin Zhen, you finally decided to come out. You haven't appeared for almost seven days. Besides occasionally going to your tent door to take some of your charged Celestial Devices, I haven't seen you at all."

Lin Zhen smiled at Zhang Yue: "I've been busy with something. Let me ask you, do you know where to find Earth element crystals?"

"Earth element? Yeah, you initially asked me to purchase them. The list included water, fire, wind, and earth elements, and I've already given them to you, haven't I?"

"That's not enough; the grade is not high enough. The higher, the better; at least it should be a quasi-SS class."

"That's not easy to find. We haven't been able to purchase any quasi-SS class crystals in these days. Anyone who has them would treasure them and wouldn't be willing to sell them. The only option is for us to go searching ourselves."

Zhang Yue thought for a moment, "However, I've heard that the third level of the Ancient God City has various high-grade mutated beasts, with the lowest being quasi-SS-grade. You can find all kinds of elemental crystals there unless you go and take a look for yourself."

"Alright, I'll have to give it a try sooner or later."

Lin Zhen made up his mind, wanting to obtain an Earth element crystal first. Once he got the Dark Star, it would truly condense, marking the moment of his breakthrough.

"Is there any news these days?"

"Yes, the Holy Son has completed the integration of the worldwide Gods Clan and announced the establishment of the church in the Divine Might Church in Constantinople. He has assumed the title of Pope."

"He became the Pope? When did this happen?" Lin Zhen was taken aback. In his previous life, it seemed that there was no such event, and there was no title of Pope. This life, however, had seen a change.

"It happened just today. The news has been flying all over the world, and only a cultivation maniac like you would not know about it. I bet even online streaming has started by now. If I weren't thinking about setting up a stall, I would be watching the live stream."

Lin Zhen waved his hand: "Let's not set up a stall for now; let's watch the live stream first."

Lin Zhen took out his phone, and the Internet was flooded with news about the Holy Son assuming the title of Pope.

The coronation ceremony took place in the Divine Might Church in Constantinople. When Lin Zhen started watching, it was nearing its end, He saw Yan Huang dressed in a golden Papal robe, sitting in the throne in the main hall of the Divine Might Church, looking down on everyone like a deity overseeing all living beings.

Yan Huang was of mixed race, with distinct facial features. The robe gave him quite an imposing appearance. People from all over the world cheered, and countless Gods Clan believers celebrated their Pope's ascent to the throne.

There were two relatively smaller seats to the left and right of his throne, but no one was sitting on them, leaving one to wonder who they were reserved for.

Beneath the Pope's throne, on the smooth, mirror-like marble floor, there were as many as thirty golden-robed elders!

Each of these thirty elders was a Star Realm Expert, and every one of the twenty-seven base cities had a Great Divine Sect, with each Sect served by an elder. There were also three more Star Realm experts, which made up the core people of the church.

The Ice City Base City's Allen from the Great Divine Sect also became an elder. As one of the earliest followers of the Pope, Allen was giving a speech at the moment.

"This is a sacred event for the whole world. With His Holiness the Pope ascending the throne and the worldwide unification of the Gods Clan, we believe that under His leadership, the glorious days of our Gods Clan will be restored…." The lengthy speech of praise and glorification moved many believers to tears, who shouted long live the Pope.

A reporter on the scene then asked: "May I ask Elder Allen, His Holiness the Pope has ascended to the throne, and there is an assembly of elders below. But we have noticed that there are two seats beside His Holiness. Who are these seats for?"

Allen laughed, "That's a good question. His Holiness the Pope is the Holy Son, who can communicate with the Gods and is the incarnation of the Deity in the mortal world. However, he cannot be alone; he also needs a companion. One of these two seats will be reserved for the future queen."

"Queen! Can you reveal the name of the queen? Why doesn't she appear in this sacred ceremony?" The reporter continued to ask.

"I cannot reveal that at the moment. I can tell you, however, that a hundred days from now, the Pope will be married. Although the queen's name is temporarily kept confidential, she will be the most perfect woman in the world and certainly a devout believer in the Deity."

Whispers spread below, and many began to guess who the future queen might be.

"May I ask Elder Allen, who is the other seat for?"

Allen replied: "The other seat will belong to the Chief Judge of our Church, who

has powers only secondary to the Pope and the queen, and will be the third-ranked person in our Church."

"May I ask who the Chief Judge is?"

"It could be anyone in the world, even you." Allen's words left people somewhat puzzled.

After some suspenseful moments, Allen finally said solemnly, "While God's grace is vast, His dignity is not to be violated. Now that the Gods Clan is established, we will not let go of anyone who has insulted or hurt the Clan. I hereby declare that the Gods Clan will eradicate a heretic."

Gazing at the countless cameras in front of him, Allen announced, word by word, "Lin Zhen has insulted the Pope, and this cannot be tolerated. I now declare that Lin Zhen is an enemy of our Gods Clan, and everything he has done to us must be repaid with his blood! From today, no matter who kills Lin Zhen, the Gods Clan will grant the position of judge to them!"

This news sent shockwaves throughout the world!

The church was establishing its authority, intending to use Lin Zhen as an example.

People still remembered the recent events in the Ancient God City, where Lin Zhen had made bold claims, not only completely denying the existence of the Gods Clan but also the True God of the Stars.

This angered many believers of the Gods Clan, and the calls for punishing Lin Zhen only grew louder.

However, Yan Huang remained silent about this issue, which disappointed many believers who felt that the Holy Son was being too tolerant of Lin Zhen.

No one expected that Yan Huang's retaliation against Lin Zhen would be to drive him into a corner!

How many believers are there in the Gods Clan?

With a population of two billion worldwide, it is estimated that almost half are believers in the Gods Clan.

Under these circumstances, how can Lin Zhen live a good life? How can he even survive in this world? There likely will be people chasing him wherever there are people.

Moreover, the Pope offered a huge reward: whoever kills Lin Zhen can assume the position of a judge in the church.

This position is just below the Pope and the queen, making it one of immense power and influence. Who wouldn't be tempted?

It's believed that even in Hua Xia, many people would be tempted by this proposition.

At that moment, Lin Zhen became the common enemy of everyone!

News about Lin Zhen flooded the internet worldwide, further solidifying his infamy.

Abroad, countless people clamored to kill Lin Zhen, and many even posted videos of themselves heading to the Ancient God City to find Lin Zhen's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, in Hua Xia, Lin Zhen's supporters were also numerous. Many people became opposed to the church's actions and hurled abuses at them. They had long been supportive of Lin Zhen.

Especially in Ice City, despite many people responding to the church's call, the majority still favored Lin Zhen. According to statistics, there were about 40 million believers in Ice City. When the church announced its intention to eradicate Lin Zhen, the number of believers in Ice City dropped sharply to 25 million, and many declared their withdrawal from the Star Sky Divine Teaching, with the number still increasing.

Furthermore, in some places, people even organized groups to travel to the Ancient God City to protect Lin Zhen and fight against the Gods Clan to the bitter end.

Although many people were supporting Lin Zhen, he did not feel the slightest joy. While the outcome wasn't the worst, and he did not fear the church's pursuit, he was not alone. He had parents, An Ning, and Ming Yue to worry about. If these people couldn't kill Lin Zhen, what about his parents? What about An Ning and Yue'er? What if someone wanted to harm them in an attempt to threaten Lin Zhen?

Lin Zhen's tent was far from the market. As soon as he saw the news, he immediately contacted Zhang Yue, telling him to leave quickly and go as far away as possible so as not to be recognized. Otherwise, they risked facing the wrath of others.

Zhang Yue was aware of the gravity of the situation and immediately boarded a flying machine to leave. Before he left, he reassured Lin Zhen not to worry and that he would find a way to survive.

Lin Zhen also boarded the Black Ghost and ascended into the clouds, making his first call to his parents.

As the call connected, it was Li Yao who picked up.

Li Yao told Lin Zhen that he had just completed the matters concerning the Ice City Marriott Group and had arrived at the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall. Upon seeing the online news, he immediately took Lin Liye and Li Qin to a secret residence, assuring Lin Zhen of their absolute safety.

Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone in the world could doubt anyone, but they would never doubt Li Yao. Since Li Yao was his sworn enemy, his parents would be absolutely safe with him, and Li Yao would never betray Lin Zhen.

Then, Lin Zhen made his second call to An Ning.

An Ning immediately answered the call and told Lin Zhen not to worry about her. An Group had the ability to protect her, and no one could harm her. Instead, she wanted Lin Zhen to come back immediately because she wanted to be with him.

Lin Zhen didn't want to return for now and could only comfort An Ning over the phone.

The usually tough An Ning even began to cry, "Lin Zhen, don't worry about me.

You must live well. If you're gone, what will happen to Yue'er, Uncle, and

Auntie? Call Yue'er, she must be extremely worried."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhen felt a little relieved. He believed An Ning's words. As Hua Xia's top financial group and even the world's largest financial group, An Group's hidden power was astonishing.

Next, before Lin Zhen could call Su Mingyue, Yue'er's call came through.

Mingyue smiled brightly on the screen, "Lin Zhen, do not worry about Yue'er. I am the Saintess of Gods Clan, and no Gods Clan believers can harm me. Yue'er believes that the man she loves is a great hero, and no difficulty or danger can defeat him. If anything really happens to you, Yue'er will follow you in life and death. If you're victorious, remember that Yue'er is waiting here for you to take her home and visit Uncle and Auntie together."

Lin Zhen nodded. Su Mingyue suddenly cried, "Lin Zhen… Yue'er hasn't cooked a meal for you yet. Please come find me… I beg you…."

Watching Yue'er sobbing, Lin Zhen gently hung up the phone and then posted a message online.

"Thank you to everyone who supports Lin Zhen, but I don't want anyone to protect me. I don't need it. Accidents can happen, and I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me.. As for those who want to take my life to add glory to the Pope's crown, come at me! No matter how many there are, I will kill them all!"

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Holy War – One Strike to Kill a Thousand! (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen sent out this message, and then put away his phone.

At this time, he believed that many people from all over the world were rushing to Ancient God City, to take his life to add splendor to the Pope's coronation.

At this moment, the conflict between Lin Zhen and the church had completely erupted, but Lin Zhen actually felt at ease in his heart.

Sooner or later, this would inevitably happen, so it might as well happen sooner. Lin Zhen had long made up his mind that on his path to the peak, there was no so-called justice or evil. Whoever stood in his way, was evil, and he would eradicate them!

He checked the items he carried; daily necessities were not lacking, and he had as many as 150 Dark Energy Stones. He also had a lot of crystals. His current realm was the peak of Level 9 War God, and he seemed to be only a little bit away from breaking through to the Star Realm. However, he still lacked a little heat and couldn't reach that level yet.

Lin Zhen didn't want to be chased and flee around the world, so there was only one place for him to go: Ancient God City.

Within the Ancient God City, mutated beasts roamed, and having too many people was not an advantage. Since these people wanted his life, they had to be prepared to lose their lives at any moment. Being more numerous didn't guarantee victory.

Moreover, Lin Zhen also needed to look for earth element crystals on the third layer, so he would accompany these believers of the Gods Clan in the Ancient God City and have some fun with them!

Lin Zhen changed to new equipment. In recent times, he had gotten two new sets of equipment for himself. Apart from the holy armor that didn't need changing, he changed all other armors – they were all Top Quality Star Artifacts: helmet, armguard, skirt armor, leg guard, boots, and full set of mental defense equipment, one with ice and one with fire.

Lin Zhen first put on the ice equipment and took out the Seven Kills Spear.

The Black Ghost was spraying clouds in the clouds, shrouding itself in it. Lin Zhen closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for about an hour before opening them again. He looked down at the entrance of the Ancient God City and saw that thousands of people were already gathered there!

Almost all members of the Gods clan, and most were of War God level.

There were also a few War Generals mixed in, as well as some High-level Star Realm Experts.

Lin Zhen even saw a Gods Clan elder wearing a golden robe standing there. This was a Star Realm Expert, seemingly from a church in India, who had just come from the Pope's coronation ceremony.

These people gathered at the entrance of the Ancient God City, negotiating with the War God Alliance's guards. They didn't want to pay to enter the Ancient God City because they were here to exterminate Lin Zhen.

The garrison was caught off guard but still tried his best to resist. "You bastard! You are shielding Lin Zhen. He must be in the Ancient God City! "

"You want to confront the church? Lin Zhen has become an enemy of all believers of the Gods Clan throughout the world. You persist in your obstinate wrong course, and we will treat you as a heretic and burn you to death!"

"Everyone, don't pay attention to him. We are here to eradicate the heretics and carry out the most significant Holy War. Everyone, rush in."

Lin Zhen glanced around and took a deep breath, "Come on then, since you've all come, don't even think about going back."

These people had no grievances against Lin Zhen, but because of the Pope's one command, they rushed over from all over the world to take Lin Zhen's life. Lin Zhen had no sympathy for them.

Emerging from the Black Ghost, the Lightning Wings spread out behind Lin Zhen.

Lightning rays were emitted behind the Lightning Wings as Lin Zhen had not had time to nourish them recently, they still had the triple speed of sound acceleration.

The Black Ghost retreated, and the clouds gradually dispersed.

Someone with keen eyes spotted Lin Zhen in the sky. "He's there! He hasn't entered the Ancient God Citv vet!" "Everyone who can fly, get up here, killing Lin Zhen can make you the judge of the church!"

Some people who could fly one after another soared into the sky, and many even stood on a new model of small flying vehicles, something similar to a skateboard, flying up at a relatively slow speed towards Lin Zhen.

Those who couldn't take to the sky took out their phones and began filming.

"People all over the world, watch carefully. See our Gods Clan eradicate the heretics in this Holy War. Lin Zhen dares to stay in the Ancient God City, today is his doomsday!"

"This will be the greatest moment I capture. Lin Zhen, the heretic, will be torn to pieces by the warriors of our Gods Clan!"

"You Lin Zhen, at least you are famous. Don't just die so easily, there is no sense of accomplishment. I'm still counting on using your blood to polish my sword!"

"Long live the Pope! Heretics must be eradicated!"

Looking at these desperate people, whose eyes were bloodshot and filled with religious fervor, Lin Zhen laughed out loud in the sky.

"Hahaha! Religious fanaticism can really confuse people. You little ants, just because your Pope says so, come looking for trouble with me, then today you all shall die for your Gods Clan!"

There's a piece of pure land in Lin Zhen's heart, where his loved ones reside. He wanted them to live well, so he had to support a sky for them. If Lin Zhen died, his loved ones wouldn't survive, so for them, he had to live well, too.

"For me to live well, you must die!"

Lin Zhen raised one hand, and the Dark Stars within his body began to spin frantically, and a massive amount of energy surged out of them!

Now Lin Zhen had resonated with all the elemental energies within the Dark Stars; the pressure of this energy ball was simply terrifying.

Gleaming light! Thundering electricity! Scorching fire! Piercing ice! Sharp metals! Howling winds!

All the energy roared and surged together, growing larger and larger in Lin Zhen's palm, the power of light and electricity illuminating the sky!

"Rumble!"

Winds and clouds rolled in the sky, it was unknown whether Lin Zhen's wind force had attracted the clouds, or whether the lightning in Lin Zhen's hands attracted the lightning. It even started to rain in the desert area, where it rarely rained all year round!

Ten thousand beams of light and electricity rushed, Lin Zhen's figure in the sky looked like a star, people could easily perceive the pressure brought by the energy ball even standing on the ground!

"Get up and stop him! Stop this heretic from attacking!"

"Victory will definitely belong to Gods Clan!"

"Kill! "

Crazy people howled, shouting at Lin Zhen with hoarse voices, as if they couldn't wait to eat his flesh.

The Spiritual Mind Masters in front accelerated at full speed, flying in groups towards Lin Zhen, and more and more flying vehicles appeared in the distant sky. The troops hunting Lin Zhen had already gathered from all over the world!

"Lin Zhen, die!"

The first batch of Spiritual Mind Masters arrived, and the attacks overwhelmed from every direction!

Flying swords, flying knives, bullets, mental shocks, even poison gas, ubiquitous attacks obscured the sky, determined to capture Lin Zhen in one fell swoop.

Lin Zhen sneered coldly at the corner of his mouth, and when the attackers were about to close in, he activated his mental power and teleported!

With his diamond-level spiritual power, these people are not even qualified to interrupt his teleportation. Lin Zhen teleported more than 200 meters in an instant.

He flapped his Lightning Wings behind him and in the blink of an eye, he flew several hundred meters, Lin Zhen was now 50 meters above the people on the ground!

He was already struggling to control the growing energy ball, he needed to let it out!

A bolt of lightning crossed the sky. People on the ground, stirred up by the frenzy, saw Lin Zhen's figure rushing straight down. They could even clearly see Lin Zhen's expression.

Some powerful War God Martial Artists began to propel themselves upward from the ground, launching their strongest attacks at Lin Zhen.

"Kill!

"Tear him apart!"

"The position of Chief Judge belongs to the United States!"

At this moment, Lin Zhen finally unleashed the energy ball in his hand.

He suddenly raised both hands, and the radiant energy ball in his hands ferociously smashed towards the densest part of the crowd on the ground!

Light and electricity pulled together, ice and fire clashed, and the extremely sharp golden energy roared through the gale!

The energy ball did not smash into the ground, but directly shattered in the air 50 meters above the crowd!

The people were packed as tightly as anchovy cans below, with almost no gaps in sight.

As a result, the energy ball unleashed a disaster-like effect.

Bright light blinded people, most of them could only see a white light in front of them. As they instinctively covered their eyes, a carpet-bombing attack arrived!

"Puff puff puff!" Golden energy easily pierced through people's bodies, with hundreds of golden strands contained within the energy ball, directly killing hundreds of people!

Rumbling lightning ran rampant, charring countless people's bodies to a crisp.

Roaring flames swept through the crowd under the gale's acceleration as if the end of the world had come. Terrifying fire snakes devoured and burned everything in the path of the 1500 -degree flames!

A foul smell pervaded the entire area, accompanied by countless people frozen stiff by the hundreds of degrees of cold. These people screamed and jumped, some even turned into ice sculptures directly in mid-air. The blood in their whole bodies froze in an instant, then they fell to the ground, shattering into pieces!

Disaster!

This was a man-made disaster. The ground was instantly blasted into a huge pit, the rampaging energy spread over tens of meters in diameter. Thousands of people originally stood within this range!

These people were the most loyal believers of Gods Clan and the vanguard of the crusade against Lin Zhen.

Except for some almost-Star Realm experts and some advanced War Gods who realized the danger in the moment before Lin Zhen's move and quickly dodged, the tens of meters in diameter were completely wiped out!

Not a single living person remained!

Not a single intact corpse remained!

For many people watching the live broadcast on the internet, the video was interrupted at this moment. The last scene they saw was the devastating energy storm after a beam of bright light, and the people who were screaming and dying amidst the flames and lightning.

Only a few videos taken from a distance witnessed the scene.. They saw the torrential rain, the thick smoke filling the sky, the choking stench, and the occasional sparks jumping on the mutilated corpses on the ground, proving that this place was just a moment ago the land of the living and had now turned into hell!

Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Demons (Fourth Update)

Translator: 549690339

After Lin Zhen's strike, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Not only did his surroundings fall silent, but the entire Ancient God City fell silent, it was as if the whole world fell silent.

This is Lin Zhen…

Is this Lin Zhen?

Is this the Lin Zhen who, with a simple order from the Pope, prompted the entire world's Gods Clan to rally for his death?

Is this the same Lin Zhen who won in the War God's Knockout but hasn't yet advanced to the Star Realm?

How could he be so horrifying!

Nearly everyone was shocked by the ferocity of Lin Zhen's attack, it was too powerful, it killed thousands in one hit!

Understand, these thousands were not ordinary people. More than half of them were War Gods, nearly half were War Generals, and even amongst the crowd, there were two Star Realm fighters who didn't have the chance to escape. They were all obliterated by Lin Zhen's manic strike.

The Spiritual Mind Masters in the sky stopped, they didn't even dare to continue their attack on Lin Zhen. The bloody carnage was enough to deter too many people.

Lin Zhen's face was as cold as ice, surveying his surroundings.

This was the effect he wanted. He didn't want to engage in too much bloody carnage, his ultimate battlefield was in the Ancient God City. But he didn't allow too many pointless people to interfere in his battle.

Those with weak abilities, but were incited by religious fanaticism, the gruesome sight would wake them up a little and let them know when to retreat.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen even doubted himself as the sole survivor of Earth in the universe, living in an era without any fellow Earthlings. Deep down, he didn't want to kill too many people of Earth.

Although this strike killed many, if it could wake more people up, Lin Zhen felt it was worth it.

Sure enough, most of the surrounding people showed fear, didn't dare to move. Lin Zhen's goal was about to be reached.

As for the remaining powerful ones, if they were willing to come, Lin Zhen was ready to play with them inside the Ancient God City. However, at this moment, a voice rang out.

"Demon!"

In one corner of the stage, the girl from Sand Russia, blessed by the Holy Son Yan Huang, boldly pointed at Lin Zhen, who was still floating in the air, and said these words out loud.

"Lin Zhen! You are a demon, you are a demon who opposes his Holiness the

Pope. You've killed so many people at once. Others might be afraid of you, but

I'm definitely not!"

The girl bravely stepped forward, she was only in her early twenties, holding a long sword in her hand, a Western sword.

Under everyone's gaze, she walked straight up to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen slightly frowned: "This is not a place for you, move away if you don't want to die!"

From his heart, he didn't want to kill such a girl. He could see that she was not a bad person, just a naive one.

But the girl from Sand Russia clearly didn't appreciate it. she pointed at Lin

Zhen's nose, "I know you. You've been saying bad things about the Gods Clan. You deliberately get those who buy from you to badmouth the Pope. Do you think this proves that you've won?"

Lin Zhen glanced at the girl, "I'll say it again, get out of the way."

"I won't! I'm a believer of the Gods Clan. His Holiness the Pope is the best person in the world. Anyone who opposes him is a heretic, you are the demon among the heretics, Lin Zhen! I'm not afraid of you, I'm going to kill you!"

The girl's pretty face turned red. She was fully aware of the gap between her, a War God, and Lin Zhen.

But still, she wanted to bravely resist. Holding the sword in her hand, she feebly directed a thrust at Lin Zhen.

The whole world was watching this scene.

Many people felt, what a brave and kind girl, daring to draw her sword against such mighty evil.

Many people were excited, their blood was boiling, they should also bravely fight like this girl.

Even many people felt ashamed, the blood in their hearts was burning. If this girl is not afraid, what are they afraid of!

But they all wanted to see the result of this attempt, Lin Zhen would surely repent in front of this angel-like girl – repent for the sins he has committed.

The sword was thrusted out, aiming straight at Lin Zhen's throat.

All the devout believers were secretly praying, they must kill Lin Zhen, they must kill this despicable man who is against the Gods Clan.

Then, just as the sword tip was about to touch him, Lin Zhen gently reached out his hand and grabbed the sword that was about to stab him.

The huge power difference between the girl and Lin Zhen made it impossible for her to pull back her sword. Her face was flushed red, she trembled excitedly: "Demon, let me go!"

Lin Zhen's voice came lightly: "Little girl, not everything is worth persevering for, not everything is worth protecting. In your heart, the Gods Clan represents light, kindness and justice, that is your protection, but it's not mine."

"I, Lin Zhen, have things I want to protect, dreams I pursue. Before my dream is realized, anything that opposes me is evil in my eyes…."

"Your ridiculous power, ridiculous persistence, in my view, they're worthless, including your life, it's as trivial as an ant's…"

"Goodbye, self-righteous one. Since you forced me to make a choice, well, I'll make it happen for you…"

As Lin Zhen spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and a bolt of electro-light energy exploded in his palm!

The arc was jumping, in the pouring rain, a thunderbolt was drawn by Lin Zhen's lightning power, descending from the sky!

"Crack! "

A dazzling white light fell, and the golden serpent twisted. People's eyes were dazzled for a moment, and when they looked again, the girl who had courageously stood up for the Gods Clan had turned into a charred corpse!

Almost all of the believers from the Gods Clan felt a pain in their hearts!

This Lin Zhen is really a demon, he actually killed such a young girl!

After Lin Zhen killed the girl, he brandished his Seven Kills spear, and pointed it at the crowd in front of him, which spread over the earth and reached out to the sky: "Were you awakened by her blood? Do you think I am unforgivable? I've said, anyone who is willing to die for the Gods Clan, I will certainly grant his wish!"

"There will be no mercy under my spear upon those who are ignorant!"

There was a second of silence around them, and then a deafening roar erupted.

You couldn't tell what people were shouting, but countless of them movements at that moment, rushing towards Lin Zhen, as if Lin Zhen was their mortal enemy.

Lin Zhen did not show any mercy. The Light Power flowed around his body, constantly restoring his combat power. He raised his hand and six Seven Stars Knives appeared.

He had also infused the Wind Element into the Seven Stars Knives at some point, and these six knives were like six Flood Dragons rampaging at the sea, killing the crowd from all directions!

Where the Light Knives passed, people were blinded by the dazzling light, and there were fallen bodies everywhere after the knives went through.

Where the Lightning Knives passed, electric snakes leaped, and thunder roared, leaving charred remains that collapsed immediately after they appeared.

Where the Flame Knives passed, the flames soared to the heavens, and people screamed as they struggled in the flames.

Where the Ice Knives passed, a sweeping frost descended, leaving ice sculptures on the ground, recording people's moment of death.

Where the Gale Knife passed, almost everything was swept away, leaving only scattered blood to prove that there were many people here before.

Where the Gold Qi Knife passed, nothing could withstand, no one could block this Holy Instrument level Imife's impact.

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, had his Lightning Wings beating behind him, the Seven Kills Spear shaking in his hand and murdering in the crowd.

If these people were still not aware enough, then let them wake up a little more!

"You think I'm a demon, but I think I'm merciful. The more people I kill now, the sooner those without enough power will wake up. Let the blood of you fanatics arouse those who are faltering. You are beyond redemption anyway!"

Lin Zhen's heart was clear, his spear in hand was like a venomous dragon. This kind of long weapon is a weapon for group battles, especially in this chaotic situation. The expert fighters of the enemy didn't have much room to display their power, allowing Lin Zhen to perform beyond his level.

War God, no matter what level of War God they were, they could not make a second move in Lin Zhen's hands!

No! A group of War Gods could not make a second move.

The Rainstorm Spear became the ultimate move to slaughter, in the real rainstorm, people couldn't see Lin Zhen's spearing clearly, a legacy of spear shadow passed, there were corpses everywhere.

Sometimes Lin Zhen flew into the sky, after a bundle of electricity, some people riding on flying tools and some Spiritual Mind Masters fell down like raindrops.

Sometimes he teleported behind the crowd, and with a lift of his hand, at least a dozen people fell.

Sometimes the Lightning Wings sped up, one spear could pierce through five or six people, tossing them around like skewered candied haws, corpses and blood sprayed all over the sky.

The occasional energy ball attack caused more people who were chasing him to fall one after another.

After a moment of silence on the internet, finally, someone couldn't take it anymore.

"Woo! Stop fighting! Why do you hate Lin Zhen so much? Let them solve their conflicts with the Pope themselves, too many people are dying in this way."

"More than three thousand people have died… From Lin Zhen's first energy ball to now, at least three thousand people have died, is this a war?"

"It's more than three thousand now, look at Lin Zhen now, he's killing. He's showing no mercy to those who are just shouting and waving and are not strong enough. He really is a demon."

"Damn it! Good job, Lin Zhen! I'm boiling with enthusiasm when I see this! These scums of the Gods Clan should be killed like this, let them have a memorable lesson!"

"Brothers and sisters of the Gods Clan, those whose powers are below the Stellar Realm should not go over, retreat, this kind of battle is meaningless, don't be blinded by the title of the Chief Judge!"

"Yes, battles of the strong are not places for the weak to join in, it's asking for death!"

Under Lin Zhen's mad slaughter, gradually, a lot of people stopped their actions towards the Ancient God City, even the flying vehicles on the road were turning back. Although these diehard believers of the Gods Clan still hated Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen had already taught them a vivid lesson by his actions, which was the awareness of the weak.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Lin Zhen's body shot past like a streak of light, a seventh-level War God's body was actually pierced by this savage spear, body shattered and turned into a rain of blood.

Lin Zhen retracted his spear and looked back. Behind him was a winding river of blood and flesh!

Diamond light flickered in his eyes filled with Spiritual Power, within the dark golden light it was so daunting amidst the gale.

He turned around and looked at the crowd of thousands gathered behind him. He gently took a step forward.

Suddenly, there was unrest in their ranks, people panicked and backed away. There were even War Gods who lost their footing and fell!

"Is this the laughable passion that the girl awakened in you?" Lin Zhen took a step forward and the crowd retreated again.

"Are these your so-called heroes of the Gods Clan? So easily defeated?" Lin Zhen suddenly started to walk forward forcefully and the crowd showed signs of collapsing.

"Is this the battle you wanted? However, the same sentence, die for your gods!" Suddenly, Lin Zhen started to sprint, the Lightning Wings opened again behind him, and he started to fly!

"Wow! Run!"

No one knows who first shouted this sentence, then it provoked an avalanche-like disaster.. The crowd seemed like a nest of hornets that had been blown up, scattering and fleeing in front of the storm-ravaged Ancient God City and in front of Lin Zhen, who was coming to kill again!

The reason those below the Star Realm couldn't confront the Star Realm Experts was their speed.

Star Realm Experts could fly and teleport, making it impossible for anyone below the Star Realm to surround and kill them, no matter their numbers.

Although Lin Zhen wasn't a Star Realm Expert, he could fly even faster and teleport even farther, giving him the advantage. No matter how many non-Star Realm Experts were present, they couldn't do any effective damage to him.

Watching the scattered and collapsing crowd before him, Lin Zhen even flew around and casually took down more than a dozen people. This caused those who had some thoughts of observing to simply flee in embarrassment, flying away on their aircraft after getting some distance.

Lin Zhen had defeated the majority of his opponents, but he didn't relax.

Just because the War Gods had retreated didn't mean the nearly-Star Realm Experts would give up, as Lin Zhen could see many of them itching to make a move.

These people hadn't acted before because the situation was too chaotic, and they couldn't properly use their abilities. Now that the cannon fodder had left the stage, it was their turn.

Moreover, more aircraft were continuously appearing on the horizon. Although not as many as before, those who dared to come at this time were undoubtedly very confident in their strength.

The position of the church's Chief Judge was attracting many people to risk their lives.

Lin Zhen waved his long spear and glanced at the people on the scene.

At present, there were almost a hundred nearly-Star Realm Experts present, and their numbers were still increasing.

If it were just these nearly-Star Realm Experts, Lin Zhen would have wanted to give it a try, but the presence of a Star Realm Expert in the field made him not want to fight anymore.

This battle was being broadcasted live worldwide, and the church hadn't expected Lin Zhen to be so difficult to deal with, and had only sent a single Star Realm Expert to come. However, Lin Zhen knew that more Star Realm Experts would arrive sooner or later. It wouldn't be wise to continue fighting in front of the Ancient God City. "Clap, clap, clap!"

Soft applause sounded.

The church's golden-robed Indian Elder slowly walked forward, gently clapping as he walked: "Good! Good for you, Lin Zhen! Good for the War God's Knockout Champion! Your title of the number one person below the Star Realm is well-deserved!"

This man's face had a gentle smile, but he appeared to be smirking, making for a rather eerie sight as he walked among the mountains of corpses and the Sea of Blood.

Furthermore, faint starlight floated around this person, making it difficult for the heavy wind and rain to touch him at all.

Lin Zhen's gaze shifted. This person was even more powerful than Li Yao, already at the Star Core Middle Stage.

"Hehe, Lin Zhen, I know what you're thinking. You want to enter the Ancient God City and fight a guerrilla battle against us, don't you? I advise you to give up on that idea. As long as I'm here, the area outside the gates of the Ancient

God City will be your burial ground."

"If I believe you, should I just surrender now?" Lin Zhen sneered.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm just stating a fact, something that is about to happen."

"Let's give it a try then."

"Hehe, young man, don't think you can be arrogant just because you barely won against a few weaker Star Realm Experts. If you have the ability, kill all the people here today. Elders from our church will be here within ten minutes. You have only ten minutes to enter the Ancient God City. Unless you kill all of us within ten minutes, you'll undoubtedly die!"

The Indian Elder was right; more church elders were undoubtedly on their way. Lin Zhen had to enter the Ancient God City as soon as possible.

However, the Indian Elder suddenly retreated at that moment, teleporting to the gate of the Ancient God City.

He raised his hand, and amidst the flickering starlight, a small stone appeared.

"Lin Zhen, if you want to enter the Ancient God City, move this small stone.

Otherwise, you can forget about getting in!"

A nearby nearly-Star Realm Expert couldn't help but ask, 'Elder, what can such a small stone do? How can it possibly stop Lin Zhen?"

"You don't need to know that. Your task is to fight Lin Zhen, and he definitely won't be able to pass."

With that, the Elder raised his hand, and the sand and stones on the ground transformed into a huge rock, sealing off the entrance.

"Come on, guys, the Ancient God City is sealed by me. Let's work together and take down Lin Zhen!"

With the Star Realm Expert leading them, the confidence of the nearly-Star Realm Experts surged, and they all moved to attack Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen felt something strange about the stone, as if there was some familiarity to it, but there was no time to think about it at the moment as the true enemies were already approaching.

The Seven Kills Spear in his hand was horizontal, and Lin Zhen was already full of fighting spirit: "Come! Let me see if all of you can stop me!"

With a stroke of his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen charged toward the crowd.

"Get him! Block him!"

"Come on, Lin Zhen, let's see how powerful these nearly-Star Realm Experts are! "

"We're not those weak War Gods you faced earlier. You won't get past us!"

More than a dozen nearly-Star Realm Experts appeared in front of him, unleashing various forms of attack.

As Lin Zhen rapidly descended, he used his Spiritual Power to teleport to the entrance of the Ancient God City, believing that the stone couldn't stop him.

However, as his Spiritual Power activated, the Indian Elder's Mental Shock came crashing down!

Break!

Diamond Early Stage Spiritual Power!

That Indian Elder actually had the same level of Spiritual Power as Lin Zhen and managed to forcefully break Lin Zhen's teleportation!

"Hahaha! Why am I the only elder from the Gods Clan who came here? Because as long as I am here, Lin Zhen, you'll never be able to teleport! Attack!"

Because his teleportation was interrupted, Lin Zhen's movements slowed for a moment, and countless attacks had already swarmed around him!

"Open!"

Lin Zhen had no time to dodge. The Spiritual Shield was activated!

A huge collision erupted outside Lin Zhen's body, and the Spiritual Shield, unable to withstand the bombardment of dozens of quasi-Star Realm fighters, was shattered!

Several weapons hit Lin Zhen, but a layer of golden light appeared on his body, blocking them!

"Sacred Armor! This kid has a Sacred Armor!"

"Focus on attacking other parts!"

Just as the Star Realm fighters were about to attack again, the Indian elder suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zhen: "Stay here, Lin Zhen!"

A golden curved blade slashed down fiercely, actually a Lower Grade Holy Artifact!

Lin Zhen infused his Seven Kills Spear with golden energy and blocked it with a horizontal thrust!

"Buzz!"

The enormous collision set off shockwaves, and the confrontation between the two was evenly matched!

Attacks from other Star Realm fighters came from behind. Lin Zhen's Lightning Wings flapped fiercely, forcing himself forward while resisting the pressure of the curved blade!

The Indian elder's face was flushed, his hair standing on end. He didn't expect Lin Zhen's impact to be so fierce. His feet dug deep grooves in the ground as Lin Zhen pushed him back dozens of meters!

"Get lost! "

Lin Zhen quickly withdrew his spear and stabbed again, aiming for the opponent's vital points.

The powerful strength of the Star Realm Expert was demonstrated here. As Lin Zhen attacked again, the Indian elder's curved blade danced like a whirlwind, with golden energy waves entwining, and the two exchanged nearly a hundred blows!

Sparks flew everywhere. In just one second, the Star Realm fighters had caught up.

"This is so damn difficult. A Star Core Middle Stage expert really isn't easy to deal with. Even if I fight one-on-one, I might not win, let alone having more than one hundred flies buzzing behind. If I drag this on, it will definitely be disadvantageous for me."

But defeating the Indian elder in an instant was impossible, so Lin Zhen immediately changed strategy. Instead of entangling with the Indian elder, he flapped his Lightning Wings and suddenly flew away!

Although the Indian elder was powerful, his speed was still no match for Lin Zhen who possessed Lightning Wings.

Lin Zhen ran ahead, and the Indian elder chased after him. This changed the situation back to Lin Zhen's advantage.

In the torrential storm, Lin Zhen was like a meteor, flitting about in front of the Ancient God City. Even with Star Realm fighters blocking his path, one or two of them could not hinder him at all!

Lin Zhen struck fiercely with his spear, showing no mercy. Anyone who stood in his way was immediately blasted away by a waterfall of force. With his current strength, he could easily kill one or two Star Realm fighters with just a wave of his hand.

Whenever he encountered a larger group, Lin Zhen would immediately change direction, displaying the advantage of his speed to the fullest.

Screams echoed continuously as Star Realm fighters fell one after another. After about seven or eight minutes of battle, nearly sixty of the more than one hundred Star Realm fighters had fallen!

If he had five more minutes, Lin Zhen could have killed all the Star Realm fighters here, but he couldn't wait any longer. Small black dots had appeared at the edge of his vision, indicating that reinforcements from the Gods Clan were arriving. They would reach here in no more than a minute.

As his body rushed forward, Lin Zhen thrust his spear at an approaching Star Realm fighter.

The Star Realm fighter instinctively tried to block, but Lin Zhen used his Wind Thunder Wings to suddenly change direction and appeared behind the opponent, blocking the path of the Indian elder's Mental Shock.

Teleport!

This time, it was successful. Lin Zhen disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of the entrance. Filling his Seven Kills Spear with golden energy, he aimed at the huge stone and yelled, "Open!"

"Boom!"

His spear struck the stone, but instead of shattering it, Lin Zhen's spear was violently repelled. A huge force caused cracks to appear in his hand, and blood flowed out immediately.

And the stone remained motionless!

"This is impossible! How heavy is this stone? How strong is it? Even when my

Seven Kills Spear is infused with golden energy, it is comparable to a Holy

Artifact. Why can't it break this stone?"

As a Level 9 War God at the peak, Lin Zhen's strength was immense, yet he was unable to shake this stone. It was unbelievable!

"Haha! Lin Zhen, this is a treasure passed down by the New Delhi Church in India, the Ganges Sand. With this thing blocking your way, just give up!" The Indian elder laughed loudly as he floated in the air, no longer in a hurry.

"Ganges Sand!" Lin Zhen was stunned, staring blankly at the huge stone with a dark surface and seemingly filled with swirling stars.

"That's right, haven't you heard of the saying 'one grain of sand, one world'? This single grain of sand weighs as much as a mountain. How could you possibly move it?"

Lin Zhen did not pay attention to the elder's nonsensical words but stared intently at this stone transformed from sand.

That oppressive feeling, that palpitation of the soul was so familiar, so close that Lin Zhen's soul shuddered!

His soul's strength goes without saying, but why did he feel fear?

"I've figured it out. It's not the so-called Ganges Sand. No wonder my soul feels fear and the pressure is so great.. It's because this is clearly a neutron from a cosmic black hole, compressed infinitely! "

In the midst of the storm, Lin Zhen looked up at the giant stone, his heart filled with shock and awe.

Ever since his reincarnation, there was almost nothing he feared, except for the nightmarish experience of his soul traveling through the black hole before his rebirth.

The black hole can be considered the most terrifying place in the universe, where all matter is infinitely compressed.

An entire planet can be compressed into a basketball-sized object in a black hole, where a steel-ball-like object can weigh millions of tons!

This compressed matter has a name: neutron!

The devouring power of the black hole comes from its matter. When an object is infinitely compressed, it generates an immense gravitational force, which may very well exceed the speed of light!

What does it mean to exceed the speed of light?

Light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, but within the range of the black hole's gravity, even light cannot escape, proving that the speed of the black hole's gravity is greater than the speed of light.

Once an object's movement speed surpasses the speed of light, time and space can be reversed.

Planets are born there, galaxies are destroyed there, time flows backward, and space is distorted. Bizarre events continuously occur. Lin Zhen's soul was sucked into the black hole, and upon coming out, he was reborn.

Therefore, he vaguely knew about the existence of neutrons within the black hole.

Yet, he never expected that there would be a neutron from the black hole on Earth.

This neutron is only the size of a small stone, but its weight truly equals that of a mountain.

It was placed at the entrance of the Ancient God City. When Lin Zhen saw it clearly, he felt a chilling sensation down his soul.

It was a deep-rooted fear in his heart, and he hesitated to touch the neutron-transformed stone.

Seeing Lin Zhen standing still in front of the stone, the Indian elder leisurely waited behind him.

If possible, he didn't want to confront Lin Zhen directly as well. The young man was strong, and the elder wasn't confident in securing a win. When the reinforcements from the church arrived, no matter who killed Lin Zhen, he believed he wouldn't miss out on the credit.

So he preferred to wait. There was less than a minute left, and Lin Zhen would be easily drained of life here.

With the elder not taking action, those at the star realm boundary wouldn't dare to go and face death and, instead, stayed and awaited the outcome.

In the sky, a series of flying vehicles were rapidly approaching.

Just now, at the church, Yan Huang, the first Pope of the Divine Sect, was furious.

Today was the founding day of the church as well as his coronation day, yet, unexpectedly, it was ruined by Lin Zhen.

He had thought that issuing the order to hunt Lin Zhen down today would surely lead to Lin Zhen's beheading, but he didn't expect the young man to be so tough, killing thousands of people and forcing the church's army to retreat.

Luckily, he had sent the Indian elder ahead of time, or otherwise, he would have lost face today.

Yan Huang had his reasons for sending the Indian elder. First, the elder's spiritual power was exceptionally strong, reaching the diamond early stage, enabling him to disrupt Lin Zhen's teleportation.

The second reason was that the elder possessed a strange stone.

This stone was from the New Delhi Church in India and was a treasure passed down for nearly a thousand years. Each Great Divine Sect leader could only formally take office if they could lift the stone.

If they couldn't even move the small stone, they wouldn't be acknowledged.

Yan Huang had seen this stone when he went to New Delhi and confirmed it as an extraordinary treasure. Its weight was immeasurable, and even he couldn't lift it with his power.

The Indian elder told him that the stone weighed as much as a mountain. In India, children who wanted to attain the position of New Delhi's Great Divine Sect leader had to practice in front of the stone since they were young.

By communicating with the stone through their spiritual power, the child who successfully established a connection with the stone could control it and put it away.

This Indian elder was that fortunate child. He became the Great Divine Sect leader and, due to his communication with the stone, his spiritual power skyrocketed from the dark gold late stage to the diamond early stage.

Yan Huang had long believed that Lin Zhen would try to go to the Ancient God City, so he sent the Indian elder to ensure that Lin Zhen could not enter.

Yan Huang was someone who cared about his reputation and didn't want to be criticized for sending too many elders at once, making his victory less glorious. However, he had not anticipated Lin Zhen's ferocity, as he eliminated so many people from the Divine Sect and forced him to send a second batch of elders.

This time, Allen, the Great Divine Sect leader from Ice City Base City, took the initiative to volunteer, and together with eight other elders, a total of nine people headed to the Ancient God City to kill Lin Zhen!

Through the live video feed, Yan Huang watched the situation unfold, and seeing Lin Zhen finally blocked by the giant stone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excellent! Lin Zhen cannot enter the Ancient God City, so he definitely won't escape the pursuit of our ten elders. You must know that both Allen and Adams from the European Union are on the Star List, and they're more than capable of taking care of Lin Zhen."

"Although sending out ten elders is somewhat shameful, it's worth it to eliminate Lin Zhen. Without Lin Zhen's death, it will be difficult for the Divine Sect's reputation to recover, and Su Mingyue will never give up."

Yan Huang sat on the high Pope's throne, waiting for the victory message from the ten elders.

As the flying vehicles in the sky approached, everyone at the scene and watching the video believed that Lin Zhen was finished this time. They didn't know what was on his mind. Why could such a stone block him?

Many Hua Xia viewers even excitedly shouted, "Break that stone, Lin Zhen, what are you doing?"

"The enemy is coming. If you don't break it now, it'll be too late!"

Unfortunately, Lin Zhen couldn't hear any of these. His heart was struggling intensely at the moment.

"What should I do? I dare not get close to it, I even want to retreat…"

"If I hadn't discovered it, it would be fine, but now that I have, my soul is resisting, and I instinctively want to stay away from it."

Lin Zhen was terrified of everything inside the black hole. This was a deeply buried fear that no one knew about. In his plan after his rebirth, the only thing he didn't want to think about or couldn't find a solution to was this matter.

What would he do when he returned to that point in time?

Fate would not favor a person twice. If he still had no solution at that time, he might be reduced to ashes.

Today, encountering a small fundamental substance from the black hole unexpectedly awakened Lin Zhen's deep-seated fear.

"No! I must persist. If I can't even face the most basic tiny neutron from the black hole, I will definitely die when the time comes."

"Although this is an accident, it is also an opportunity to be prepared for the appearance of the black hole in advance. I must overcome this fear."

Lin Zhen raised his head and forced himself to come in front of the giant rock.

His hands seemed to be carrying a weight of tens of millions of pounds, slowly lifting up, and his forehead was sweating mixed with rainwater, pouring down with an incredibly strong will, pressing his hands on the giant rock.

"Ugh!"

Lin Zhen tried hard to push the giant rock, but it was like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar, having no effect whatsoever.

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, don't be delusional! I told you, this stone is like the sands of the Ganges River, one sand, one world, weighing as much as a mountain.

Your insignificant strength can't move it."

Lin Zhen couldn't push it, so he raised his hand, intending to use his Spiritual Power to collect it directly into his Space Ring.

But it was still useless; the giant rock remained motionless.

"Hehe, if you want to store it in a Space Ring, you have to be able to move it first. If you can't even make it move a little bit, how can you collect it?"

Lin Zhen clenched his teeth tightly, took out the Seven Kills Spear, and swept away the sand below the stone, clearing a large area.

He originally thought the stone would tilt, revealing a gap in the entrance, and then he could teleport. But unexpectedly, the stone instantly grew a little bigger, still firmly blocking the entrance.

"I told you it's no use. This stone won't sink down because of the soft ground. This is the miracle of the Ganges River sands. Lin Zhen, you'd better just give up."

Lin Zhen still didn't give up. He raised his hand again, and the Dark Star's gravity was released!

The gravity of the Dark Star was already incredibly powerful. Lin Zhen could even snatch flying vehicles from the sky with a wave of his hand, but he still couldn't move the neutron.

"Why? Why can the Indian elder move the neutron, but I can't? What exactly is the reason?"

Lin Zhen was still making an effort, covering the giant rock with his Spiritual Power.

"Huh…what is this…?"

As his Spiritual Power entered the neutron, he saw an incredible sight!

At this time, the flying vehicles carrying reinforcements had already landed, and nine golden-robed elders from the Divine Sect disembarked.

Among them were Allen from Ice City and Adams from the Great Divine Sect of the European Union's Paris Base City.

These two were clearly stronger than the others, and they joined the Indian elder's side. Ten golden-robed elders stood side by side, slowly approaching Lin Zhen.

As they walked, Allen said, "Lin Zhen, accept your fate. You should have been prepared for the consequences of opposing the church. Although I admire your courage, I still have to say that you are a fool."

The ten elders walked to Lin Zhen's side, activating their Star Power together. Suddenly, the surrounding area was filled with flickering starlight. Under these circumstances, Lin Zhen could not only fly, but he couldn't even teleport.

They won!

Lin Zhen was finally finished. He had been captured alive by the joint efforts of the ten elders.

For a moment, there was a wave of cheers throughout the world. All the believers of the Gods Clan denounced Lin Zhen, the demon who was finally caught. Some congratulated Pope Yan Huang, some even suggested bringing Lin Zhen back for a trial by fire.

Yan Huang's eyes narrowed slightly. Perhaps he could use Lin Zhen's life as a bargaining chip to force the Saintess, who seemed to dislike him, to do something everyone loves to do.

"Allen, catch him alive."

He sent a command to Allen via his cell phone.

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Allen stepped forward, reaching out to grab Lin Zhen's clothes: "Lin Zhen, give up resisting…"

His fingers brushed past, but only caught a handful of air.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, with the star power blockade of the ten elders, and when the entire world believed that Lin Zhen would be captured, he mysteriously vanished..

Translator: 549690339

Allen's hand paused in midair.

He was stunned, as were the other nine elders around him.

Where was the person?!

Allen rubbed his eyes with his other hand and immediately looked around.

Everything around them was normal; their combined Star Power of the ten Star Realm elders had shielded the area. In the outer region, there were quasi-Star Realm cultivators everywhere.

"Did he teleported away? That shouldn't be possible!"

The group looked at each other, at a loss; they didn't know what to say.

Even the European Union War God Adams looked at Allen and said, "Elder Allen, Lin Zhen was captured by all of us. You cannot monopolize him, can you?"

Allen immediately became a bit angry: "How am I monopolizing him? Do you think I am able to put a living person into a space ring? Even if I could, wouldn't it be exposed once handed over to His Majesty? This is being broadcasted globally, who could monopolize him?"

Adams didn't say anything more as he was also anxious. How could Lin Zhen just disappear into thin air?

He couldn't get into the stone, and it wasn't possible to teleport away. The disappearance was simply too strange.

They were no longer focusing on the blockade of the ten Star Realm cultivators' Star Powers since they were searching everywhere for Lin Zhen.

Elder Adams thought about it: "Could Lin Zhen have a way to pass through the stone and directly enter the Ancient God City?"

The Indian elder waved his hand: "Absolutely impossible. This Ganges River sandstone is not ordinary, it simply has no way to pass through, he must still be somewhere outside."

"Then where is he? He disappeared right here, but there's nothing here." Allen repeatedly ran his hand back and forth over the spot where Lin Zhen had disappeared, even taking out his sword to strike several times, but there was only empty air, nothing there.

"So…should we pick up the stone and enter the Ancient God City to check?" Adams made another suggestion.

Just as the group hesitated, the Pope called, and Allen answered.

"Elder Allen, the world of Martial Artists is full of wonders. Some people have strange escape methods, which are quite normal. You can search here, focusing on the place where he disappeared, but that stone must not be taken away. If it is taken away and Lin Zhen takes the opportunity to enter the Ancient God City, it would be really difficult to catch him then."

"Yes, Your Holiness, I understand."

Allen hung up the call and immediately distributed tasks to everyone present.

The ten Star Realm cultivators formed two teams, taking turns guarding the stone while the others scattered to surveil the surroundings.

As long as Lin Zhen didn't leave, the moment he appeared, he would be discovered immediately and would have nowhere to escape.

However, everyone was unsure in their hearts since Lin Zhen's disappearance was too strange. Whether he could be found or not was uncertain.

Where Lin Zhen had gone became a hot topic of discussion worldwide, since he had disappeared under the eyes of people all over the world. His sudden disappearance quickly became the focus of speculation.

Some people said that Lin Zhen had entered the Ancient God City, others said that Lin Zhen had run away, while others thought that someone from the Gods Clan might have captured him, with Allen being the most suspicious.

However, no matter what opinions were voiced, there were always people to refute them, and no single viewpoint could truly stand on its own.

Of course, Lin Zhen did not actually disappear. When Allen's hand reached out, Lin Zhen moved his mental power, causing spatial folding.

He disappeared into the extradimensional space, leaving them to search futilely. Even if they searched every inch of the surroundings, they could never find him.

Although Lin Zhen's physical body had disappeared, he was incredibly shocked.

Because just moments ago, when his spiritual power seeped into the neutron, he had clearly seen a shattered planet core!

This neutron was a compressed remnant of a planet!

It was no longer a complete planet, but rather a fragment of a planetary core remaining after large parts of it had been lost, along with some broken parts and concentrated dark matter energy that formed this neutron.

On the outer layer of this neutron, a faint spiritual power was wrapped around it. Lin Zhen knew that it was the Indian elder's spiritual power, allowing him to control the neutron.

After Lin Zhen saw that planet core for the first time, he made up his mind that he must get this neutron.

Because within that planet's core, there was a powerful Earth element energy.

Lin Zhen's Dark Star currently only needed the final Earth element; as long as he had the Earth element, his Dark Star would truly take shape.

And obtaining this neutron wasn't very difficult; Lin Zhen only needed to do two things, one was to completely cover and penetrate this neutron with his spiritual power. For other Spiritual Mind Masters, this was almost impossible, but for a Diamond Level Mind Master like Lin Zhen, it wasn't too difficult, and a few days would be enough.

The other thing was that he had to drive away the Indian Elder's spiritual power!

No wonder the Great Divine Sect that inherited the New Delhi Church started cultivating in front of this stone from a young age. Cultivating was a process of struggle until a powerful spiritual mind master emerged, defeating all other competitors and gaining control of the neutron.

However, they didn't know that within the neutron was a planet core. Lin Zhen could see it. possibly due to his sony passing through a black hole. and the

neutron also came from the black hole.

Within the extradimensional space, Lin Zhen seemed to be watching the outside world through a glass dome, clearly seeing other people while they couldn't see him.

"I have to drive away the Indian Elder's spiritual power. That means my spiritual power has to be stronger than his. From what I feel now, our spiritual powers are evenly matched; I still need to improve my spiritual power a little more."

"In the past, it might have been difficult to improve spiritual power, but as the spiritual power moves through the neutron, it's compressed by the black hole's power to an almost infinite density, making it difficult for spiritual power to move forward, making it an excellent place to cultivate spiritual power."

"What I need to do now is to let my spiritual power travel through every corner of this neutron, and by then, my spiritual power should improve. I hope this won't take too long; as soon as my spiritual power advances, I will drive away that old man's power in one fell swoop. For now, he doesn't seem to be able to activate the stone and discover my spiritual power inside."

Lin Zhen's space tightly clung to the stone, and a thread of spiritual power that was a million times thinner than a hair quietly seeped out and entered the Dark Star.

He chose the right time, as the outside was stormy and he released his spiritual power unnoticed when thunder struck.

This thread-like spiritual power began to move throughout the entire neutron, slowly penetrating towards the core.

When the spiritual power entered, Lin Zhen felt its difficulty in advancing; the neutron's density was too great, with almost no pathways for spiritual power to move forward. He could only rely on his Diamond -Level power to forcibly break through the material within the neutron and advance bit by bit.

Through the slow progress and frequent exertion of effort, Lin Zhen's spiritual power began a new round of growth.

If someone had searched every corner of the stone with a microscope at this time, they would have found an inconspicuously small point where Lin Zhen had disappeared, glittering with the brilliance of a diamond, but the point was too small to be noticed by anyone.

Three days, a full three days of live broadcast, people had gradually stopped paying attention to the matter.

After all, no matter who it was, watching a three-day broadcast without any waves would grow tiresome. Lin Zhen had simply disappeared, leaving no traces. Envoys from the Gods Clan came in groups, laying a trap in the Ancient God City, but Lin Zhen just couldn't be found.

Some Martial Artists wanting to enter the Ancient God City were also prohibited from entering, as the stone blocking the road could not be moved. This caused dissatisfaction among many Martial Artists, but now with the newly established church and its powerful influence, their dissatisfaction couldn't hinder the church's actions.

Among the ten golden-robed Star Realm Elders stationed here, there were even two masters from the Star List, making many people back off.

Although they still didn't know where Lin Zhen had gone, many people thought that Lin Zhen might never reappear.

As time entered the fifth day without any movement, many people began to band together to oppose the church's blockade of the Ancient God City's entrance, as it not only cut off the Martial Artists' access, but also left the people inside unable to leave.

They couldn't allow everyone in the Ancient God City to be trapped inside just because of a missing Lin Zhen.

People began gathering in front of the Ancient God City to protest, and many Believers of the Gods Clan also joined the protest, as many people within the Ancient God City were still members of the Gods Clan.

Regarding this matter, the Pope finally gave an answer.

His answer was that in seven days, if Lin Zhen still isn't found, the church would withdraw its forces, and the stone blocking the road would be removed.

Having the Pope's promise, people patiently waited, after all, five days had already passed and two more days would reveal the results.

On the morning of the seventh day, people gathered in front of the Ancient God City.

Lin Zhen still hadn't been found, and the church had no choice but to fulfill its promise. In fact, these people had already had enough of staying here, as any sane person would go mad after searching the air for someone all day long.

The Indian Elder came to the boulder, and in order not to give Lin Zhen any chance of entering the Ancient God City, he hadn't dared to touch the Sans of Ganges River for these seven days, as it was incredibly heavy and there was no need to worry about someone stealing it.

Coming to the giant stone, he activated his spiritual power and began to enter the stone.

Based on past experience, as long as he moved his power, the stone would be taken back.

But this time, the stone only slightly shook, generating a strong resisting force.

"What's going on?" The Indian Elder was stunned, and the bystanders also noticed the change here.

"Everyone be careful, something's happening!" The alert Allen waved his hand, and people gathered around..

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: The Battle of Spiritual Power

Translator: 549690339

"What's going on?" Allen asked the Indian elder.

"I don't know what's happening? I feel a force here resisting me."

"Resisting you?"

"Yes, it seems like there is another person manipulating this stone, and his power is fighting mine for control of the stone."

"Not good! It must be Lin Zhen!"

Allen immediately sensed the danger and shouted, "Everyone surround this area! Lin Zhen is still nearby. Once he…!"

Before Allen could finish, the Indian elder suddenly screamed, "It's happening again!"

Then his whole body leaned back, as if he had been struck hard in the head.

"Ah! Lin Zhen, you won't succeed!"

The Indian elder roared, and those around him saw the radiance in his eyes, which was the manifestation of his spiritual power being pushed to the extreme. It was clear that he was fighting someone else with his spiritual power!

At this time, the only person who could fight the Indian elder's spiritual power was undoubtedly Lin Zhen, who had already been called out. Although they didn't know exactly how the two were fighting, it proved that Lin Zhen was still here and hadn't left.

Anxious and helpless, Allen and the others hurriedly surrounded the area, waiting for the result of the spiritual power battle between the Indian elder and Lin Zhen.

Although there were only a few people left broadcasting, a few persistent ones continued to pay close attention to the situation here.

For a time, news of Lin Zhen spread throughout the world, and the number of viewers surged. The world's attention was once again focused on this place!

Lin Zhen's spiritual power wandered within the neutron, like an earthworm within a small mountain, slowly but firmly turning over every inch of soil.

As he turned over more and more soil, his spiritual power grew faster and faster.

Originally, there was only a glimmer of diamond brilliance, but the more he honed it, the more it multiplied.

After a day, the diamond aura in Lin Zhen's Spiritual Consciousness Sea reached 3%!

After two days, it reached 7%!

After four days, it exceeded 15%!

On the seventh day, Lin Zhen finally explored most of the neutron, and the diamond aura had reached 30%!

"I'm about to break through. If my diamond aura exceeds 30%, my spiritual power will reach the Diamond Middle Stage!"

Diamond Early Stage is defined as having 30% spiritual power diamondized; reaching from 30% to 60% is considered Middle Stage; 60% to 90% is Late Stage, and 90% to 100% is the peak.

"Exploring a neutron, a infinitely compressed object, does indeed stimulate rapid growth of spiritual power. Imagine how difficult it is for spiritual power to advance when it reaches the Diamond level. This is a great opportunity for me."

"Unfortunately, my spiritual power is still slightly lacking to reach the Diamond Middle Stage. Once I have Diamond Middle Stage spiritual power, even among Star Realm experts, my spiritual power will be outstanding."

Lin Zhen's exploration was complete, and he had only left the very core of the neutron unexplored. He felt a strong black hole aura there, too dangerous for him to touch, so he chose to be conservative and not probe it for now.

Although he had some regrets, there was nothing he could do at the moment. Lin Zhen planned to drive away the Indian elder's spiritual power, take the neutron, and enter the Ancient God City.

But when he wanted to launch a surprise attack, the Indian elder took the initiative to control the stone again, and their spiritual powers collided!

Once their spiritual powers clashed, the Indian elder discovered Lin Zhen's presence, and he shouted immediately. A mental shock blasted towards Lin Zhen!

"Boom!" The powerful backlash made Banahak dizzy, and to his horror, his spiritual power was actually weaker than Lin Zhen's!

"How is this possible?"

Before Banahak could react, Lin Zhen's spiritual power immediately counterattacked, also with a mental shock!

It was like a thunderclap exploding in his head, and Banahak outside stumbled, only steadying himself by leaning on the giant rock.

The two spiritual powers clashed inside the stone, and the diamond aura instantly erupted!

As a Star List expert and a skilled spiritual mind master, Allen was the first to notice the anomaly.

On the surface of the stone, spiritual power was continuously overflowing, which was immediately detected by his keen senses.

"Elder Banahak, what happened? Is Lin Zhen hiding in the stone?"

"His spiritual power… is here… help me!"

Indian Elder Banahak struggled to speak, his eyes already filled with bloodshot veins; he couldn't hold on much longer!

In this battle between Diamond level spiritual mind masters, Dark Gold stage mind masters were useless.

Among the ten Star Realm experts present, Allen's spiritual power had reached the Diamond Early Stage and was even slightly higher than Banahak's.

Hearing Banahak's words, Allen immediately gathered his spiritual power: "Hold on, I'm coming!"

Boom!

Allen's spiritual power also seeped into the stone and immediately discovered the fighting parties.

At the sight of Lin Zhen's close to thirty percent Diamond Level spiritual power, Allen was immediately shocked.

"Damn! How could this kid's spiritual power be so strong? Did he start cultivating mental power from the womb?"

Without time to think, Allen immediately unleashed a mental shock towards Lin Zhen. This stone absolutely couldn't be lost; once it was lost, it would be impossible to seal off Ancient God City ever again.

Allen's spiritual power also had more than twenty percent Diamond Level, not much weaker than Lin Zhen. His mental attack also made Lin Zhen feel terrible.

Of course, Allen didn't have it easy either, but at least he had time to catch his breath. After his mental shock was released, Banahak took over and continued the assault on Lin Zhen.

Although the two men were also countered by the mental shock, it was better than Lin Zhen being constantly beaten.

The chain of attacks whistled in, giving Lin Zhen almost no chance to counter. He was retreating step by step within the stone.

"What tremendous pressure!"

Lin Zhen clenched his teeth and persevered, facing two Star Realm Expert spiritual mind masters, especially Allen who was a Star List expert. If he had faced any single one of them, his spiritual power would have been enough to win, but the combined strength of the two opponents actually surpassed him!

Three Diamond Level glows flashed on the interior, and at this moment, everyone knew that the two elders were fighting Lin Zhen. However, they could only watch this battle unfold.

All they could do was be vigilant and take out their phones to report on the situation.

Many people on the periphery were already filming.

"Lin Zhen reappears after a week of disappearance, with two Gods Clan elders joining forces to capture him."

"The spiritual mind Master's battle is on; Lin Zhen fights alone against two Diamond Levels!"

"A 21-year-old Diamond Level Spiritual Mind Master, showing you what a true genius is!"

Although they couldn't see Lin Zhen, the atmosphere on the scene and the performance of the two Diamond Level mind masters made everyone tense. Seeing Allen and Elder Banahak from India sweating profusely, it was evident that the unseen battle was extremely dangerous.

Many close-ups focused on the faces of the two men, hoping to guess the progress of the battle from their expressions.

After a while, people gradually saw a clue. The faces of the two elders showed a hint of joy, indicating that the battle was developing in a favorable direction.

Indeed, Lin Zhen, who was fighting alone against two Diamond Level spiritual mind masters, was now at a disadvantage, almost cornered.

Although Allen and Banahak were also shaken by the counteracting force, they were still stronger than Lin Zhen.

It was similar to Lin Zhen's Long River Spear Skill. Waves kept coming, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

"Damn it! If we were outside, their method wouldn't work. However, inside this neutron, I can hardly escape. If I withdraw my spiritual power, I may never get this neutron again."

Although Lin Zhen could also look for earth element crystals to complete the final part of the Dark Star, he didn't want to give up the planet core. The infinitely compressed earth element energy here could be absorbed, yielding tremendous benefits.

Boom!

Allen's mental shock arrived again, causing a sharp pain in Lin Zhen's mind. His spiritual power was unstable, and the Foldable Space showed signs of collapsing. Once his spiritual power was defeated, he would likely be exposed outside, where a stormy wind and rain of blows would await him.

"No, I must hold on! They're not having it easy either."

Enduring the severe pain in his mind, Lin Zhen stubbornly guarded a corner of the neutron and fought tenaciously against Allen and Banahak.

Though the two had an absolute advantage, Lin Zhen was like an unyielding rock, entrenched in that corner. No matter the repeated mental attacks from the two, he remained steadfast.

"Lin Zhen! I know you're nearby, but just give up. You can't hold on forever," Banahaked tried to persuade.

"Hmph! Why bother persuading him? Just step up the attack and completely turn this guy into an idiot!" Allen didn't want to give Lin Zhen any chance. This kid's spiritual power was even stronger than his own, so if he escapes, he would become a major threat to the Gods Clan!

Both Diamond Level mind masters summoned their power again, not giving Lin Zhen a single moment to breathe. They intended to bring him down in one fell swoop.

No matter how strong your willpower is, there is always a limit to what you can endure. They didn't believe Lin Zhen could hold on forever!

Lin Zhen was indeed unable to hold on any longer, and his spiritual power was on the verge of collapsing.

The Foldable Space began to tremble. As soon as his spiritual power was depleted, they would surely be exposed out of the Foldable Space.

"Am I not going to make it…? Such a pity, I was just a little bit away from advancing to the Diamond Middle Stage. Yet now I'm besieged by two Early Stage opponents…"

A tearing pain emerged in Lin Zhen's mind. He just needed to advance a little bit more!

His spiritual power faltered, and hot blood surged within him, as if he couldn't hold on any longer.

The blood rushed from his chest to his head, causing Lin Zhen's face to turn red inside the Foldable Space.

Another mental shock struck, but this time, Lin Zhen didn't feel much pain. The previously stagnant spiritual power increased slightly under this shock, as if it had absorbed and digested the force.

As his blood boiled in a trance, Lin Zhen seemed to see Xiao Nuan..

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Diamond Middle Stage, Devouring Power! (3 updates)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen was very clear that what he was experiencing now was not an illusion.

He really saw Xiao Nuan, not with his eyes, but with his heart.

He could feel that Xiao Nuan was on the other side of this stone, sensing the danger of his master, but unable to come over, so it lay there.

And Lin Zhen's clear feeling seemed to come from that surge of blood a moment ago.

At the beginning in the Five Connected Pools and the Fire Burning Mountain, Xiao Nuan had absorbed Lin Zhen's blood, and the blood on its teeth, which was still fresh from when it had just been born, had seeped into Lin Zhen's body.

Xiao Nuan obtained Lin Zhen's light and golden powers, but Lin Zhen also got Xiao Nuan's flame power, but did not get Xiao Nuan's Innate Devouring.

After all, Lin Zhen is not a real Galaxy Beast, and it is impossible for him to learn Innate Devouring.

Lin Zhen once regretted this, but didn't take it to heart.

But now, the situation seemed to be a little different!

After a surge of blood, Lin Zhen's mental power seemed to have changed a bit!

Banahak's Mental Shock came over, not only did it not cause any harm to Lin Zhen, but it also allowed Lin Zhen's spiritual power to grow slightly. "Is this… My mental power actually devoured Banahak's Mental Shock!" "What's going on? Why would I feel Xiao Nuan's aura?"

"Could it be that Xiao Nuan's devouring power is reflected in my mental power?

Boom!

Banahak's attack ends, and Allen's Mental Shock arrives again.

Allen's attack is stronger than Banahak's, and Lin Zhen had previously found Allen's to be more difficult to resist, but this time, the result is the same.

Allen's mental power hit Lin Zhen, but it was still devoured by Lin Zhen's mental power, and his mental power moved forward slightly towards the Diamond Middle Stage.

"There's no mistake this time! There's definitely no mistake!" Lin Zhen instantly felt invigorated and extremely happy.

This was indeed Xiao Nuan's power, the power of devouring!

Although Lin Zhen's body is not a Galaxy Beast and cannot truly possess the Innate Devouring, this power has appeared when his mental power was greatly consumed, and it ultimately acted on Lin Zhen's mental power! His mental power can devour external Mental Shocks!

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

The collapsing Foldable Space stabilized, and Lin Zhen's headache finally went away; although his mental power was still curled up in a corner of the neutron, the situation was completely different from before.

"Come on, keep attacking me with your Mental Shocks. Whether I can breakthrough or not depends on the power of the two of you."

Allen and Banahak now felt much better, as the previous two attacks had almost no backlash.

Keep in mind, every time they attacked Lin Zhen, both of them suffered quite a bit, just like a person's fist could smash a cactus, but every time the person punched, he would be attacked by the cactus' thorns. Even if that person had the ability to smash the cactus, it would be difficult to keep going for long.

And Lin Zhen's backlash suddenly disappeared, and the attacks of the two were like mud into the sea, traceless.

"Hmm… What's going on?" Banahak asked.

"Maybe his mental power is on the verge of collapsing, and there's no more resistance. Let's try harder to completely bring him down. I have a feeling that as long as we bring down his mental power, his hiding place will definitely be revealed."

"Alright, anyway, there's no backlash now, and I can finally attack with all my strength."

Banahak finally felt relieved. Besides, he most wanted to drive Lin Zhen's mental power out, because this tiny grain of Ganges River sand was a treasure of his New Delhi Church, and Lin Zhen couldn't take it away.

Wave after wave of Mental Shocks were launched relentlessly at Lin Zhen, and Allen looked at Banahak's actions with a frown.

Attacks from Spiritual Mind Masters should be restrained, as excessive mental power consumption would affect their combat effectiveness, something Allen would not do lightly.

Moreover, the outside couldn't see the battle here, and Allen didn't want to fight with Banahak. If you want to attack, just go ahead and do so. When Lin Zhen comes out, I'll catch him, and at that time, the position of the referee will be mine.

The others saw the smiles on the two elders' faces and felt relaxed.

It seemed that the battle to eliminate the heretics was coming to an end.

An elder looked at Allen, who had opened his eyes and smiled, and asked, "Elder Allen, how is everything going? All of us can't see the battle situation and feel anxious."

Allen smiled, "Don't worry, the situation is now basically clear. Lin Zhen must be on the edge of this giant rock, and I guess the most likely place is where he disappeared. Moreover, his mental power is currently fighting with me and Elder Banahak, and we are on the verge of defeating it. Once his mental power collapses, that's when he will reappear. Everyone, get ready."

Hearing that Lin Zhen was about to appear, the people around them immediately became tense, taking out their weapons and carefully staring at the spot where Lin Zhen disappeared.

Allen chuckled, "There's no need to worry too much. After Lin Zhen's mental power collapses, he'll essentially be an idiot. You guys can just get ready to capture him alive."

Hearing Allen's words, the others finally let go of their worries.

"Haha! As expected, it's our Gods Clan elders that are strong, easily taking care of Lin Zhen."

"Of course, didn't you see how powerful Elders Allen and Banahak are? Both are Diamond -level Spiritual Mind Masters. For Lin Zhen to survive until now, he must have great luck."

"This time is good, once we behead Lin Zhen and bring his head back, it will serve as a late gift for His Majesty's ascension to the throne."

Allen had been resting for a while, watching Banahak attacking relentlessly, he gathered a powerful spiritual power, brewing for a moment, and aimed it at Lin Zhen's spiritual power in the corner.

He prepared to finish Lin Zhen with this strike and end the war of attrition between their spiritual powers.

The powerful Mental Shock hit Lin Zhen and then disappeared without backlash…

"Something doesn't seem quite right?" Allen frowned. If Lin Zhen was about to reach his limit, how come nothing had happened to him after such a long time?

Moreover, the disappearance of the spiritual power was also somewhat odd, like throwing a stone into a river, except for a little splash, nothing could be

seen.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Banahak gathered the spiritual power once more: "Either get out of my Ganges River Sand or die!"

Boom!

After Banahak launched his mental attack, he initially thought the result would be the same as before, but suddenly, something changed!

At Lin Zhen's side, his spiritual power suddenly surged a few times, and then it violently expanded outward!

Like a rising tide, Lin Zhen's spiritual power quickly advanced, forcing both of their spiritual powers to retreat in an instant.

"This is impossible!" Allen's voice went hoarse as he realized that Lin Zhen's spiritual power was now significantly stronger than both of them combined, no longer at the same level. It was actually at the Diamond Middle Stage!

"Just now it was at the early stage, how could it suddenly reach the middle stage?" Banahak was even more stunned.

Allen suddenly felt Lin Zhen's spiritual power brewing. He's going to launch a Mental Shock!

A wave of palpitations came over him, and at this moment, Lin Zhen's spiritual power was like a giant beast devouring everything, making Allen feel extremely endangered. Without any hesitation, he immediately withdrew his spiritual power from the strange stone.

However, Banahak was a step slower. Although he felt a great danger, he was reluctant to let go of the stone. It was just such a simple delay that made him too late!

Bang!

His Spiritual Consciousness Sea suffered a massive impact. As a Diamond-level Spiritual Mind Master, Banahak did not even need a Mental Defense Star Artifact, as he took the full brunt of Lin Zhen's attack!

His head tilted backward, the spirit in his eyes dispersed, and the color of his pupils had almost faded away!

He was already considerably exhausted, while Lin Zhen was refreshed. His Diamond -level spiritual power was shattered by this last strike, and after screaming in pain, his spiritual power completely left the stone.

At this moment, people outside saw the stone emitting light and then quickly shrinking until it disappeared in the air.

A gust of wind blew, and the entrance to the Ancient God City, which had been blocked all this time, was finally opened!

"Lin Zhen has come out! He's here!"

Someone shouted loudly. The space where the stone had disappeared suddenly began to twist, and Lin Zhen, who had been missing for seven days, miraculously reappeared there!

"Kill him!"

Allen roared, and countless attacks were launched around him.

Various weapons rained down like a storm, Lin Zhen's body swayed, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported!

Allen's Mental Shock was the first to be launched but failed to interrupt Lin Zhen's teleportation. However, there was no backlash, and the spiritual power was still like a clay ox entering the sea.

Lin Zhen's teleportation didn't take him far, only a dozen meters away, but it was enough to make all those weapon attacks miss their target.

This was the best range for Mental Shock.

Finally, the Spiritual Mind Masters present got their chance, more than a hundred Star Realm Experts had gathered here, of whom more than ten Spiritual Mind Masters launched their attacks simultaneously!

A swathe of Mental Shocks hit, but without any effect.

On the contrary, Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes with a grin: "Hehe! Thank you for guarding this place for so many days, it must have been tough. Let me give you a little gift!"

"Mental… Shockwave!"

A ripple wave, almost visible to the naked eye, surged like a tsunami, instantly sweeping through the crowd!

Then came a scene the world would remember forever.

One hundred twenty Star Realm Experts, including Star Realm Expert Banahak, were hit by Lin Zhen's shockwave.

They all remained in their previous positions, their eyes simultaneously lost focus, and their bodies froze.

Then, about a second later, white brain matter and red blood spurted out from everyone's noses, mouths, eyes, and ears, like a leaking balloon!

"Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop!"

Numerous bodies fell down, and no matter whether it was High Grade or Top Quality Celestial Device defense, none could withstand this shockwave.. More than a hundred people suffered brain death at the same time!

Translator: 549690339

The effectiveness of the mental shockwave startled Lin Zhen.

Under the combined onslaught of Allen and Banahak, his spiritual power finally advanced, reaching the Diamond Middle Stage.

Xiao Nuan's Innate Devouring also manifested in his spiritual power. As such, Lin Zhen was essentially not afraid of any mental shock from people whose spiritual power did not exceed his own.

Those whose spiritual power does not surpass his, won't impact him at all. Mental shocks would not disturb him nor interrupt his teleportation. Instead, it would become nourishment for the advancement of his spiritual power.

However, it is not capable of being absorbed and devoured instantly – it also requires a digestion process.

Lin Zhen naturally couldn't digest the mental shocks launched by these people in an instant. He wrapped these several spiritual power with his own, and the combined forces resulted in an unprecedented giant mental shock.

The mental shockwave this time definitely went beyond the Diamond Middle

Stage. Lin Zhen felt that it even had the offensive strength of the Diamond Peak, hence why this group of people on the other side was instantaneously killed by him.

But the effect of the instant kill was absolutely shocking. More than a hundred Star Realm Experts fell, including a Star Realm Expert – Banahak.

Banahak had just taken a mental shock from Lin Zhen during the neutron competition and felt a splitting headache, hence, he failed to avoid this shockwave and was killed on the spot.

Only nine people survived, among which were Allen, Adams, and other seven Star Realm Experts.

Though most people were stunned by Lin Zhen's incredible strike, Allen was not shocked.

He had witnessed Lin Zhen advancing to the Diamond Middle Stage and knew that his spiritual power could devour others' mental shocks, hence, he had some idea about the terrifying effect of this strike.

Therefore, after Lin Zhen released a huge strike, he still chose to continue the attack.

"Adams! Let's go! This kid actually possesses the spiritual power of a Diamond Middle Stage. Those who do not have Dark Gold Stage spiritual power and a top-quality mental defense star artifact should not come; coming would only mean death!"

Among the Star Realm Experts, approximately two-fifths are Spiritual Mind Masters. The number is quite large. Among the nine Star Realm Experts here, apart from Allen and Adams, there are also two Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Masters.

Four Star Realm Experts flew towards Lin Zhen at an astonishing speed.

Lin Zhen did not want to tangle with these individuals. In fact, if we do not account for his potent spiritual power, Lin Zhen's fundamental strength hasn't improved at all. He wouldn't fare well tangling with the people on the Star List, especially now that the gate of the Ancient God City has already opened – he needed to leave.

He laughed at the Four Star Realm Experts: "There's no need to chase so eagerly. The Ancient God City is vast; we'll have plenty of time to play later." Teleportation!

Four mental shocks were generated, but none managed to stop Lin Zhen's teleportation. With a few flickers of his body, he had already entered the internal region of the Ancient God City.

Allen slowed his steps, knowing that chasing Lin Zhen wasn't feasible. To pursue Lin Zhen, they would need a lot of people, all of whom could withstand mental shocks.

The phone rang, and it was Yan Huang calling. Allen immediately informed Yan Huang about Lin Zhen's situation.

The happenings of today had completely obliterated the reputation of the Gods Clan. If they didn't take care of Lin Zhen, the Gods Clan would lose all face worldwide.

Yan Huang immediately issued an order to gather all Spiritual Mind Masters above the Dark Gold Stage from within the Gods Clan. Everyone had to wear a top-quality mental defense star artifact and assembled in the Ancient God City.

Upon the direct command of the Holy Pope, many capable of pursuing Lin Zhen gathered from all over the world.

Out of the thirty elders in the Gods Clan, there are twelve Spiritual Mind Masters in total. Now with the death of Banahak, eleven were left.

Among these eleven elders, six of them are on the Meteor Star List, which includes Allen, Adams, and Gongsun Du.

However, Yan Huang did not involve Gongsun Du in this manhunt, leaving the remaining ten elders all ready.

Afterwards, Yan Huang brought in forty almost- Star Realm Experts, forming five action teams. Each team carried one Star list expert as the leader, paired with one Star Realm expert, and eight Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Masters as the team members.

Before the five teams set out, Yan Huang passionately said: "Today marks the day of humiliation for our Gods Clan. The blasphemer Lin Zhen has killed many of our brothers and sisters, causing a significant blow to the worldwide reputation of the Gods Clan. Our loyal believers are saddened, and the normal believers have started to question the capability of our church. It also became a laughing stock for many bystanders."

"Therefore, killing Lin Zhen is now our Gods Clan's top priority. We all understand Lin Zhen's strength very well. Now that you're all equipped with mental defense star artifacts, Lin Zhen's mental shocks shouldn't intimidate you. Your task is to ensure that Lin Zhen is killed within the Ancient God City. This pertains to the glory of our Gods Clan, the worthiness to become a believer of the True God of the Stars. The world is watching you. Have you not the confidence to execute this?"

"We do!"

All fifty Spiritual Mind Masters answered in unison, passionately hating Lin Zhen to the bone.

"Off you go. Strive to block Lin Zhen on the second layer of the Ancient God City."

Allen and the other ten experts embarked on their journey. Yan Huang yet again promised in front of the worldwide public that he absolutely would not forgive the blasphemer Lin Zhen.

Although the reaction in the world was still intense, it had weakened considerably compared to the establishment of the Gods Clan. After days of discussion, the question of who was right or wrong between the Gods Clan and Lin Zhen was put in front of all the people around the world.

For those who believed in deities, Lin Zhen was utterly wrong; but what about those who didn't? From their perspective, was Lin Zhen wrong?

Now, discussing right or wrong has lost its meaning, as things have reached this point. A life and death struggle between Lin Zhen and the Gods Clan is inevitable, and it remains to be seen whether the Gods Clan's pursuit team could kill Lin Zhen inside the Ancient God City.

The Divine Might Church in Constantinople was solemn and respectful. In the main hall, it was as deep as the night sky, and the sound of footsteps on the dark marble floor echoed crisply.

Yan Huang paced back and forth, sighing from time to time, his mood very heavy.

"Your Majesty, I don't think you need to worry too much. Lin Zhen can't possibly fight against our Gods Clan."

At his side, the former Pope of Constantinople's church and the Great Divine Sect, Laricus, comforted him.

"Teacher, do you think our pursuit team can capture Lin Zhen?" Yan Huang asked his teacher, who had retired ever since he became the Holy Son and succeeded the Great Divine Sect. His teacher did not rank among the Gods Clan elders, but was always by his side.

Laricus pondered for a moment: "If we estimate based on strength, Lin Zhen is not an opponent for any Star List expert, but Lin Zhen's method of hiding in the extradimensional space is too unconventional. Moreover, his current spiritual power has advanced to the Diamond Middle Stage, and there are too few people who can disrupt his teleportation. Our team's chances of killing or capturing him are slim, almost impossible."

After thinking for a moment, Laricus continued: "To truly defeat Lin Zhen, we must have a Spiritual Mind Master of the Diamond Middle Stage. In our Gods Clan, only you, me, and Gongsun Du have this ability. Your Majesty, why not let Gongsun Du go?"

Yan Huang shook his head: "Gongsun Du cannot go. He has not yet agreed to my arrangement with Su Mingyue and insists on respecting Su Mingyue's own choice. In that case, I fear Su Mingyue may never get married to me. Until he shows absolute loyalty, I cannot use him."

"If that's the case, I will go personally," Laricus said.

"As a Dark Star List expert, if it were you, it would be easy to capture Lin Zhen." Yan Huang was overjoyed.

With quite a bit of confidence as well, Laricus nodded, "However, I will need Your Majesty to give me one of the three holy artifacts of the Gods Clan, otherwise I'm afraid I won't succeed." "Which one do you want?"

"I want the Breaking Boundary Nail."

Apart from the Glorious Set, the Church has three other Holy Artifacts, which form the foundation of the Gods Clan.

These three items are the Star Sky Crown, Breaking Boundary Nail, and the God Concealment Cloak.

The Star Sky Crown is a small diadem with seven gems embedded in it. It can continuously provide the user with Star Power. As long as the user's body is not shattered into pieces, severed limbs can regenerate, and Star Power will never exhaust, making it a divine weapon in battle, and a top-quality auxiliary Holy Artifact; essentially a priceless treasure.

The more advanced a Holy Artifact, the harder it is to truly master. Even Yan

Huang hasn't completely grasped the power of the Star Sky Crown even now.

The Breaking Boundary Nail, however, is a Middle Grade Holy Artifact imbued with Spatial Power. This isn't even considered a weapon, but an auxiliary type Middle Grade Holy Artifact.

This nail can lock onto a person's aura, even if you hide in another dimension, it can still strike accurately.

Furthermore, this nail has a miraculous effect, being able to seal a Martial Artist's Dantian's air. Once a Martial Artist is struck by this nail, unless it is removed, they can't mobilize their Dantian's air and will become like a lamb to the slaughter.

The God Concealment Cloak can completely make the wearer invisible, and is a Middle Grade Auxiliary Holy Artifact.

Yan Huang nodded: "What you said makes sense. Without the Breaking Boundary Nail, it will likely be difficult to truly capture Lin Zhen. In that case, I'll give you this nail."

He took a Holy Artifact from his Space Ring.

Three inches long and thinner than a pinky finger, it emitted a dim light. Yan Huang handed this Holy Artifact to Laricus.

"Your Majesty, what if we can't find Lin Zhen?"

Yan Huang sneered: "Of course I won't stupidly wait here, I have my own way to deal with Gongsun Du. Once Gongsun Du is taken care of, Su Mingyue will certainly fall into my hands. In just over ninety days, it will be my wedding day, and I have already announced it to the world. Don't you think that even if you guys can't find Lin Zhen, he will return before that day?"

"He might, he and Su Mingyue seem to be very close."

"That's the point. I will use this period of time to completely master the Star Sky Crown. As long as this Holy Artifact serves me, Lin Zhen will be worth nothing in front of me, not even a shrimp. My goal is to ascend to the Heavenly

Star List!"

Laricus was delighted: "So that's it, Your Majesty really is ingenious! In this way, even if Lin Zhen hides in the Ancient God City for the time being, and by chance escapes from our pursuit, he will still be caught in the end."

"Yes, but I estimate he won't have a chance to come out and cause me trouble. Teacher, you are a Dark Star List expert, and you have the Breaking Boundary

Nail in your hand, Lin Zhen absolutely cannot escape."

"Your Majesty can rest assured, Lin Zhen absolutely won't have a chance to come out!"

After Lin Zhen entered the Ancient God City, Xiao Nuan immediately pounced on him.

Having not seen Xiao Nuan for a few days, the little fellow had clearly grown a bit and was now about the same size as a park wolfhound. However, it still looked much better than those dogs.

Its mane on its head looked like a burning flame, with a golden glow flowing all over its body. Its smooth muscle lines and long tail wagged back and forth upon seeing Lin Zhen, stirring up dust on the ground.

Lin Zhen rubbed Xiao Nuan's big head: "Xiao Nuan, you've grown quite a bit. Have you been eating people these past few days?"

Xiao Nuan shook its big head indicating no and rubbed its mane on Lin Zhen's face.

"Alright, let's go now, I'll take you to have a big meal."

With that said, Lin Zhen spread out his Lightning Wings, flapped them once, and headed straight to the second layer.

Xiao Nuan still followed closely ahead and behind Lin Zhen, running in circles even faster than him using his Lightning Wings.

Lin Zhen ignored the incredibly fast running speed of his pet, so as not to be too discouraged.

Despite not running as fast as Xiao Nuan, as Lin Zhen soared through the sky of the first layer of the Ancient God City, those War God-level and quasi-Star Realm-level people still marveled at him.

Lin Zhen had become very famous in the Ancient God City and had even become the object of admiration for these War Gods and quasi-Star Realm people.

A Winged Dragon flew by with its mouth wide open, trying to swallow Lin Zhen. In an instant, Lin Zhen teleported above and stabbed its brain open with a lightning spear, extracting the crystal.

Xiao Nuan, on the other hand, followed behind with its big mouth biting the Winged Dragon's body, flying with the massive creature in its mouth, finishing it off in less than a minute, leaving no bones behind.

Without walking on the ground, Lin Zhen quickly arrived at the entrance to the second layer.

"Whew! Finally, I'm going to enter this time and see what the second layer is like!"

Lin Zhen had a clear plan for his journey in the Ancient God City. His purpose for coming here was to go to the third layer and obtain high-level Mutated Beast Earth element crystal.

Although he already had a Planet Core of Earth element, this core was different from the previous two. The deepest part of it contained a strong black hole aura, which Lin Zhen was hesitant to attempt to absorb recklessly.

So he thought about it and decided to get the Earth element crystal first. He would study the Planet Core more carefully in the meantime.

Arriving at the entrance of the second layer, Lin Zhen pushed open the hatch, creating a small gap.

With another push, it was wide enough for a person to pass through. Lin Zhen flashed in, followed by Xiao Nuan.

Standing on the ground of the second layer, Lin Zhen stared blankly at the surroundings.

Lin Zhen thought the entrance to the second layer should be in a corner, but the surrounding view astonished him.

The second layer was actually a void, and beneath his feet was a planet!

The planet didn't seem very big, and its curvature could be seen on the horizon within his line of sight.

The location he was in was filled with beautiful flowers and plants, with fresh air as if it were a paradise.

Looking to the left, he could see the silvery white snow-capped mountains in the distance, which was the Ice Area, the South Pole of this planet.

Looking to the right, he could see erupting volcanoes, which was the Fierce Fire Area, the North Pole of this planet.

Overall, the planet was divided into three parts. The central part was like an equatorial region, with a pleasant climate suitable for living.

The two poles, South and North, were two extremes. To get to the third layer, one had to travel through these two poles.

The surrounding void was like the night sky, with no visible boundaries.

Lin Zhen first tried to fly up, but after rising less than 30 meters, a tremendous pressure from above enveloped him, making flying difficult, so he had to land.

"The legend turns out to be true. The second layer has a no-fly zone, especially in the South and North Pole areas. Flying is like courting death. To get to the third layer, one must walk step by step."

With his Ice Elemental Star Artifact, Lin Zhen planned to head in the direction of the North Pole so as to enter the third layer from the extreme point of the North Pole.

However, he didn't immediately rush to venture through the South and North Poles. Instead, he walked along the central region first, attempting to learn more about this unknown world.

After walking for a while, he saw a person.

TWenty meters ahead, a man was sitting on a large rock, with wine and dishes in front of him, enjoying a drink.

When he saw this person, Lin Zhen's eyes lit up.

"Dongfang Pavilion Master!"

"Lin Zhen!"

Lin Zhen happily ran over, and the person before him was none other than Dongfang Jun, who he hadn't seen in a long time.

Dongfang Jun was also overjoyed to see Lin Zhen, patting his shoulder: "You rascal, how long has it been since we last met?"

"Several years, I think. Ever since I went to the God Generals Training Camp, I haven't seen you."

"That's right, time flies so fast. But you don't have to call me Master anymore, I'm no longer the Master of Gale."

"The Master was fired by Yue Zhenhua, and it was because of me." Lin Zhen felt a little guilty, feeling that he had wronged Dongfang Jun.

Dongfang Jun laughed: "Don't think too much about it. I didn't want to continue being the Master of Ice City anyway. I was on the verge of breaking through at that time, so I was planning to quit. Yue Zhenhua's order just happened to be in line with my wishes."

Dongfang Jun comforted Lin Zhen for a moment, then said with amazement: "You've done well, already a Level Nine War God? I was paying attention to your situation before I came to the Ancient God City. Your promotion speed is

Lin Zhen looked at Dongfang Jun: "Master, your progress is also very fast, reaching the Star Realm."

Lin Zhen could see Dongfang Jun's strength, now at the Star Core Middle Stage, and with Diamond Early Stage Spiritual Power. Although not as strong as himself, it was still very impressive.

Back when Lin Zhen was at the Silver Stage of Spiritual Power, Dongfang Jun was already at the Dark Gold Late Stage. Now that Lin Zhen had reached the Diamond Middle Stage, Dongfang Jun was at the Diamond Early Stage.

Comparing the two, one can see how terrifying Lin Zhen's promotion speed is. It's worth noting that Dongfang Jun is almost fifty years old, while Lin Zhen just turned twenty-one.

Dongfang Jun sized up Lin Zhen, praising him: "You're incredible! I knew you were a genius when you were in Gale, with 99% gene enhancement. I've never seen anyone like you, but I didn't expect you to be so talented." "Haha! Master, don't make fun of me."

"I'm not kidding, come on, sit down, let's have a good chat."

Lin Zhen smiled. This is the rule among martial artists: when your strength is similar, you can call each other brothers. If your strength is not enough, even after ten thousand years, you will still be a junior. Clearly, he had gotten Dongfang Jun's recognition of his strength.

The two sat down and chatted for a while. After Dongfang Jun left Gale, he had been wandering around various Ancient God ruins, and his life had not been particularly noteworthy. On the other hand, Lin Zhen's story shocked Dongfang Jun.

After Lin Zhen finished speaking about the conflict with the Church, Dongfang Jun's face became serious: "Brother, I think you might have misunderstood something."

"What is it?"

"Going to the third layer is definitely not an easy task. Despite having all these Ice-attribute Star Artifacts on you now, just relying on them won't get you to the North Pole."

"Is that place really that hot?" Although Lin Zhen was reborn, he didn't know much about the Ancient God City, so he asked hastily.

"It's not just hot, it's so hot that it could burn people to ashes. To get to the

North Pole, you must obtain the Ice Heart."

"Ice Heart?"

"Yes, the Ice Heart, also known as the Ice Crystal, is hidden in the coldest part of the ice mountains in the South Pole. To get through the North Pole, you must go to the South Pole and get three Ice Hearts to ensure that you can withstand the flames and pass through safely."

"What if I decide to go to the South Pole instead?" Lin Zhen asked.

"You will need to obtain Flame Hearts, which can only be found at the North Pole. With three Flame Hearts, you can withstand the cold of the South Pole and advance to the third layer."

Lin Zhen frowned slightly, it seemed that going to the third layer was not an easy task.

Dongfang Jun continued: "Just having Ice Hearts or Flame Hearts alone is not enough. To enter the third layer, there is another mandatory condition."

"What's the condition?"

"You must be on the Star List!"

Lin Zhen was taken aback, not expecting that being on the Star List would be a mandatory condition.

Dongfang Jun patiently explained: "To get on the Star List, you have to defeat a

Star List master. But you can't just defeat them normally, you need to make a Soul Oath with them, betting on your souls, winner takes all. Only if the duel is established, then if you defeat your opponent during the battle, the Star List will appear in your Spiritual Consciousness Sea. By then, you'll be able to see your ranking on the Star List. So, you must challenge a Star List master, otherwise, the extreme points will repel you, and you won't be able to pass without being on the Star List."

"What if the person I find doesn't want to duel with me?" Lin Zhen asked.

"That's simple too, you just have to kill them, and the Star List will appear automatically."

Lin Zhen fell silent for a moment, it seemed that he couldn't reach the third layer in a short period of time.

Dongfang Jun continued: "So you must hurry up. Judging from what you've said, the Church won't let you go. They will definitely send people to hunt you down. I estimate that you've revealed a lot of your cards during your battles, so if you can't summon extradimensional space for safety, you're in danger. You need to make a decision about which direction to go and then quickly collect Ice Hearts or Flame Hearts. Find a place to hide and focus on cultivation, and don't let the Church find you. If all else fails, I can take you to the South Polar Region to meet Luo Yun. He's from Hua Xia and the leader of the South Polar Region. With his protection, you should be safer." Dongfang Jun suggested with great concern for Lin Zhen..

Translator: 549690339

For Dongfang Jun's proposal, Lin Zhen expressed his gratitude. However, he didn't want to rely on anyone for now. In his rebirth, he knew that only his own strength was reliable. Relying on others would probably not end well, and that wasn't Lin Zhen's nature.

"Thank you, Brother Dongfang, but I have decided to try my luck," Lin Zhen said.

"Well, then. I knew you might not agree, but you must be careful. If you have nowhere else to go, you can look for the Ice Palace near the Polar Region. That is Luo Yun's territory, and I am there too," Dongfang Jun advised.

"Alright, I think I'll go there," Lin Zhen replied.

"Hmm, if you're going to the North Pole first, you must be careful of Arthur's people. The North Pole is his sphere of influence, and according to what you've said, the people of the Gods Clan may know Arthur and possibly inform him to deal with you. Everyone here has walkie-talkies," Dongfang Jun warned.

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement.

At this time, a walkie-talkie at Dongfang Jun's waist rang. Someone on the other side said, "Dongfang, have you rested enough? If you have, let's get ready to leave. Today, we should try to kill that Ice Centipede. We're waiting for you." "Alright, got it. I'm coming," Dongfang Jun responded.

Dongfang Jun put away his walkie-talkie and said goodbye to Lin Zhen. "Be careful. If you really can't go on, remember to come to the Ice Palace to find me."

A layer of fiery red armor appeared on Dongfang Jun, and he flew away low in the southward direction, gradually disappearing from view.

After Dongfang Jun left, Lin Zhen immediately made his own plan for the second layer of the Star Realm.

He would first go to the North Pole area to collect at least three Flame Hearts, then head to the Polar Region and pass through the third layer from there.

As for challenging the experts on the Star List, Lin Zhen knew that he couldn't do it yet. But he wasn't in a hurry. He still had plenty of time to cultivate.

Having sorted everything out, Lin Zhen headed towards the Northern Region.

Xiao Nuan appeared from somewhere, following Lin Zhen happily.

As they traveled further northward, the temperature gradually rose.

The lush greenery in the central region was no longer visible, replaced by a dry and hot desert. The temperature here exceeded fifty degrees Celsius.

As they ventured deeper into the desert, temperatures rose even higher. When they reached the edge of the desert, the exposed black rocks were very hot.

"Phew! It's so hot; it's time to release some cold air," Lin Zhen said.

Lin Zhen allowed the cold air inside his equipment to leak out slightly, creating a layer of white mist around his body that blocked the scorching heat.

The rocks beneath their feet gradually turned dark red. Xiao Nuan happily jumped around on them. While Lin Zhen was afraid of the heat, Xiao Nuan was not. As a Galaxy Beast with a fire element, it could even swim in magma.

The surrounding temperature gradually exceeded one hundred degrees. While moving forward, several red mutated beasts suddenly emerged from the cracks between the rocks ahead!

Each was about the size of a tiger, with small eyes and sharp teeth. Although they were sneaky, they exuded a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.

"S-level Mutated Beast – Fire Fierce Rat!" Lin Zhen had learned about the situation in the second layer and knew that these were the lowest-level mutated beasts in the North Pole area – the Fire Fierce Rats.

These so-called Fire Fierce Rats were only a type of rat but didn't belong to the species on Earth, having lived in hot regions for a long time.

In the second layer, the lowest-level creatures were also S-level. In other words, danger lurked everywhere. Facing these five S-level giant rats, Lin Zhen didn't underestimate them. After all, these creatures didn't belong to Earth, and it was always better to be cautious.

The rats spotted Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan and immediately bared their sharp teeth, uttering strange noises while pouncing toward them.

These creatures moved at staggering speeds, and when they ran, a layer of red light enveloped them, making them look like moving flames.

"Xiao Nuan, I'll leave two for you!" Lin Zhen said as he pulled out his Seven Kills Spear and charged toward the three Fire Fierce Rats on the left, his Lightning Wings flapping behind him.

Xiao Nuan roared and pounced on the other two rats.

Suddenly attacking, Lin Zhen thrust his spear forward with a simple yet effective move against the first Fire Fierce Rat!

Unexpectedly, the rat twisted in mid-air, dodging Lin Zhen's attack. It then opened its mouth wide and viciously bit towards Lin Zhen's face.

During the attack, the fierce rat even accelerated, almost catching Lin Zhen off guard. In the nick of time, he teleported.

He appeared behind the third rat, crouched down, and struck it in the abdomen with a Back Horse Spear. The rod was then flicked upwards, spilling the rat's intestines out!

After taking such a heavy blow, the rat didn't die, but violently turned its head, opening its mouth and spewed out a flame!

Lin Zhen's spiritual shield expanded outward, and forcefully blocked the incoming fire. With a strong forward push of his hand, the spear pierced the rat, and the golden energy inside its abdomen was released!

In an instant, the rat seemed like a hedgehog, pierced through by countless streams of golden energy, dying on the spot.

"Phew! This S-level creature is quite hard to deal with. I had to use several moves, but now that I'm familiar with your tricks, you won't pose a threat to me."

Lin Zhen swung his Seven Kills and continued attacking the other two rats.

As for Xiao Nuan's battle over there, it was even more intense. One rat bit onto Xiao Nuan's hind leg but couldn't snap it. Xiao Nuan roared as it pounced, and with one bite, it swallowed a chunk of meat weighing over a dozen kilograms into its stomach.

The two rats attacked Xiao Nuan furiously, their fur flying and their blood splattering. Some wounds appeared on Xiao Nuan's body, but each time a wound appeared, a faint white light flickered on its body and quickly healed it. That was its inherited Radiant power from Lin Zhen.

Xiao Nuan was also crazy enough, with light and electricity flashing all over its body, and its incredible speed. Other than getting bitten twice at the beginning, it eventually overpowered the two rats, and even if the rats attacked with fire, Xiao Nuan didn't care. With every vicious bite, it swallowed chunks of flesh one piece at a time.

The rats couldn't escape, and after about thirty seconds, they both died and were half eaten alive.

After killing the two rats, Xiao Nuan opened its mouth wide and gulped down both of them, then happily ran towards Lin Zhen's direction.

At this moment, Lin Zhen had finally dealt with the other two rats. He immediately collected the crystals, leaving the remaining flesh for Xiao Nuan to gobble up like candy beans.

Lin Zhen put away his spear and caught his breath. These S-level mutated beasts couldn't withstand his attack. It was just a little hard to deal with because it was their first encounter. The next time would be much easier.

With the harvest of five S-level crystals, Lin Zhen's mood was pretty good.

He was currently at the peak of Level Nine. To advance to the Quasi-Star Realm, he needed a lot of crystals or Dark Energy Stones.

Although he had more than a hundred Dark Energy Stones in hand, Lin Zhen, who had previously advanced to the Quasi-Star Realm in his past life, knew very well that the more crystals or Dark Energy Stones he had during the advancement, the larger the vortex of Qi in his Dantian would be.

So he needed to collect a lot of crystals, in addition to the Dark Energy Stones, he planned to collect at least a thousand S-level crystals and four hundred Quasi-SS Class crystals.

In his past life, Lin Zhen had once heard of someone in the interstellar realm advancing to the Quasi-Star Realm by absorbing five hundred S-level crystals and two hundred Quasi-SS level crystals. As a result, the vortex of Qi they condensed ended up being one-third larger than others.

Of course, not everyone could absorb that much; it required tremendous talent. Lin Zhen believed that he could try this number in this life. However, there was still a huge gap in the crystals at present.

"Well done, Xiao Nuan." Lin Zhen encouraged Xiao Nuan, who stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, looking nothing like a Galaxy Beast but more like a big Lion Dog.

However, after seeing it eat five S-level mutated beasts, it seemed that its body had grown slightly. If it weren't for Lin Zhen's keen eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed it.

"Let's go, there are many more monsters ahead waiting for us to conquer. It's said that there are even SS-level mutated beasts here. If we really encounter them, remember how fast the two of us need to run."

A man and a beast continued to move forward, killing several more rats and long lizards along the way.

The scenery gradually changed, and the stones up ahead turned reddish-brown. Lin Zhen arrived at a riverbank.

It wasn't an ordinary river, but a river of lava.

Lin Zhen had seen this river in a video before. It was a river that circled the North Pole Area. A Spiritual mind master once tried to fly over the river but was burned to ashes.

The rolling heatwave rushed toward him. The width of the river was at least a thousand meters, so teleportation was not an option to cross it.

"It's too hot. The temperature here is probably around 300 degrees Celsius. If it wasn't for my Ice protection, I'd probably be roasted by now."

"Three hundred degrees Celsius is probably just the air temperature here. The temperature of the lava river must be above a thousand degrees. But if I release all the ice from the inside of my armor and add the ice protection from the Dark Star, I should be able to swim across this river?"

Just as Lin Zhen was about to give it a try, he suddenly saw two large black dots on the compass he was wearing on his hand, and they were very close!

Right now, anything that shows up as black on the compass is undoubtedly a

Star Realm Expert. Anyone who isn't a Star Realm Expert can't pose much of a

threat to Lin Zhen anymore.

One of the black dots wasn't particularly dark, but the other was pitch black.

The lighter black dot was probably a standard Star Realm Expert, while the pitch-black dot was probably someone on the Star List.

Apart from these two, there were also three very light-colored dots, estimated to be three Quasi-Star Realm experts.

"My pursuers are here!"

Lin Zhen immediately realized this. The people from the Gods Clan arrived quickly, and it was estimated that there was more than just one group.

"No, I can't keep heading north. The area there is getting smaller and smaller. I need to find a place to stay as soon as possible, at least until I've mastered the Overturning River."

Just as Lin Zhen made up his mind, he faintly saw a group of people flying in the distance.

His eyes were exceptionally sharp, and he could vaguely see that the two people in front were wearing golden robes, clearly elder members of the Gods Clan.

"These guys are so fast, I have to shake them off.."

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Continuous Surprises

Translator: 549690339

The mission to hunt down Lin Zhen was not an easy one. After the five Holy See hunting squads entered the Ancient God City, besides one squad being responsible for intercepting the entrance, the other four squads went into the second layer.

Each team had two Star Realm experts, including a Star List expert. With such a lineup, killing Lin Zhen was definitely not a problem.

Two teams headed to the South Pole area, and two teams headed to the North Pole area. When they entered, these four teams claimed that they would be able to capture Lin Zhen within half a month.

However, an entire month has now passed, and they haven't even found Lin Zhen's shadow.

Obviously, Lin Zhen has some kind of special evasion method. After many searches, the Holy See finally discovered that Lin Zhen had once obtained a compass as a prize in the War God's Knockout.

The compass could reflect a person's Star Power and Dantian energy intensity. Whenever someone approached, their strength would be displayed on the compass.

After learning about this, the Holy See immediately responded by spending a huge sum of money to purchase five compasses and sent them to the five hunting squads.

With these compasses, the hunting squads should be able to cover the entire second layer of the Ancient God City in no time, and Lin Zhen's capture would seem inevitable.

There has never been a halt in the global debate on whether Lin Zhen is good or bad, even in Hua Xia, or in Ice City.

The followers of the Gods Clan were too numerous. There were still tens of millions of believers in Ice City. These believers were mainly those who had visited Sofia Cathedral before. Now that Great Divine Sect's Allen was leading the team to pursue Lin Zhen in the Ancient God City, it caused a great controversy in Ice City.

After all, these people were not part of an organization, unlike the Gods Clan, which is collective and disciplined. So even though the majority of Ice City residents supported Lin Zhen, they could not take the upper hand in public opinion.

Initially, when the Gods Clan began pursuing Lin Zhen into the Ancient God

City, their believers remained clamorous on the internet, claiming that Lin Zhen could not hold out for more than a few days before he would be captured and punished. Many people even suggested various ingenious methods of torture for Lin Zhen.

Such posts were numerous, and the arrogance of the Gods Clan was immense.

Adding to that, the church's propaganda accused Lin Zhen of countless crimes, and world opinion gradually shifted in favor of the Holy See.

However, in the past month, the Gods Clan's pursuit of Lin Zhen had been stalled, giving hope to many of his supporters, who criticized the Holy See on the internet.

A day or two without progress was fine, even ten days without progress was acceptable, but a month without progress led to doubts within the church's ranks.

While many still didn't dare to criticize Pope Yan Huang, they could at least criticize the incompetent hunting squads.

But who sent those hunting squads? Of course, it was Yan Huang who sent them, so the criticisms were essentially directed at Yan Huang.

In addition to the criticisms from those who didn't believe in the Gods Clan, Yan Huang gradually started to feel the pressure.

For some unknown reason, his teacher, Laricus, had no news ever since leaving the church, and according to the report from the squad guarding the entrance, Laricus never entered the Ancient God City.

Despite firmly believing that Laricus wouldn't betray him, Yan Huang still couldn't sleep or eat well.

Finally, after a month had passed, a follower of the church reported some news to Yan Huang.

"Your Majesty, the target has been identified, and we can take action at any time."

"Good, take action immediately. Lin Zhen's whereabouts are unknown right now, but we need to do something to put pressure on him. If we can lure Lin Zhen out sooner than later, it will still be beneficial for our Gods Clan.

Otherwise, the current situation is a bit passive for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will take action immediately."

In the following days, the Holy See once again shocked the world with their actions.

First, under the leadership of three golden-robed elders, 300 church members launched a surprise attack on a building in Ice City.

This building belonged to the Ice City Marriott Group, but Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing, the couple who managed the company, usually didn't go there. Instead, it was the personal property of Li Wanfeng's father, Li Yao.

After a battle, the church members successfully killed Li Yao, the only Star Realm expert in the Marriott Group, and suffered the loss of seven quasi-Star Realm experts.

After killing Li Yao, they found two people in the building.

Lin Zhen's parents, Lin Liye and Li Qin, who were both Seventh-level Warriors, were captured by the church and taken to Constantinople.

Because the incident occurred suddenly, by the time the news was exposed, Lin Liye and his wife had already arrived in Constantinople.

After capturing Lin Zhen's parents, this news was immediately announced to the whole world. Even Yan Huang deliberately let this message reach the Ancient God City, believing that as long as Lin Zhen heard about this matter, he would definitely not be able to resist walking into the trap.

This matter caused a huge uproar, as many Martial Artists from Hua Xia came forward to criticize the church's actions. It was a rule that the conflict between Martial Artists should not involve family members, and the church's actions undoubtedly violated this rule.

If this was done by an individual, he would definitely not meet a good end, but the church is different.

The church not only has strong Martial Force but also has nearly half of the world's believers. No matter what criticism is made, it can't have any effect, and it can only cause a large-scale verbal war worldwide.

The situation in Hua Xia was similar, with those supporting Lin Zhen and the believers engaging in endless verbal battles, even leading to several brawls and some people losing their lives over this issue.

The day after Lin Zhen's parents were abducted, several explosive news items emerged again.

The first was Yan Huang announcing that the Gods Clan could only have one

Saintess. He declared that he would abolish the Saintesses of the United States, European Union, African Union, Sand Russia, India, and Brazil, leaving only one Saintess, Su Mingyue from Hua Xia.

This move was undoubtedly intended to establish Su Mingyue as the future queen.

However, almost at the same time Yan Huang issued the order, Divine Sect Saintess Su Mingyue announced her withdrawal from the church and would no longer serve as a Saintess, completely severing her ties with the church.

Additionally, An Ning, the young lady of the An family, also solemnly announced that all believers of Gods Clan would be removed from the An Group, and the primary criterion for employing people in the An family was that they could not be believers of the Star Sky Divine Teaching.

These three pieces of news appeared almost simultaneously, stirring up the world once again.

As the world's largest financial group, nearly one-fiftieth of the world's population is working for the An family. The resulting turmoil from this announcement would be immense.

Moreover, the announcement by Saintess Su Mingyue was a slap in the face to Yan Huang, who wanted to marry her.

Before the order to appoint Su Mingyue as the only Saintess of the church had completely died down, news of her leaving the church had already arrived.

Not to mention, Su Mingyue's admirers were spread all over the world, even accounting for one-tenth of the Gods Clan. So when Su Mingyue announced her departure from the church, countless believers around the world wept.

Many people took to the streets to plead with Su Mingyue to stay, but she had made up her mind and vowed never to remain in the church again.

She said: "My brothers and sisters of the Gods Clan, please forgive Ming Yue's willfulness. In fact, I began to doubt the existence of the True God of the Stars three years ago. When I encountered danger and almost died, my prayers had no effect. No one could understand my despair at that time. My pursuit and faith were so vulnerable in the face of cruel reality."

"At that time, I met Lin Zhen. He saved me. He is a very individualistic person.

He said that he never believed in the True God of the Stars and that the True

God would not save anyone."

"I doubted it, but I was familiar with the history of the Divine Teaching. Apart from the unusual events that took place on God Transformation Day, the True God of the Stars was nothing more than our imagination."

"However, I haven't left the church yet. After all, many of our doctrines are good. But until now, the appearance of the Vatican has greatly disappointed me. They declared Lin Zhen a heretic, but I wasn't involved in their fights, although I wished to help the one I love deeply, but after all, I am still part of the Gods Clan."

"Until yesterday's incident, he even sent people to arrest Lin Zhen's parents, which is undoubtedly unacceptable. How can such a person represent the Deity on earth and rule over half of the world's population?"

"If he is truly the Holy Son, the spokesman of the Deity, then such a religious clan is not worth believing in. From now on, Ming Yue is no longer part of the church, and I choose to be with the one I love forever."

Su Mingyue and An Ning's decisions sparked a massive worldwide wave of people leaving the Gods Clan.

Many people wanted to join the An Group and had to leave the church. Many people who admired Su Mingyue also followed suit and left the church.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of church believers originally accounted for about 50% of the world's population, but since the Lin Zhen incident, the number has dropped to 45% within a month.

With An Ning and Su Mingyue's actions, within three days, the number of church believers dropped to 38%!

That is to say, because of Lin Zhen and his two girlfriends, the number of followers of the Gods Clan has almost decreased by a quarter!

Especially in Hua Xia, the number of church believers decreased sharply. Furthermore, many people took to the streets to protest the church's actions, demanding that Yan Huang apologize and release Lin Zhen's parents.

Unexpectedly, the situation escalated to this point, and Yan Huang was somewhat caught off guard. However, he would never apologize and began to use various channels to continue enumerating Lin Zhen's crimes in the hope of restoring the church's reputation.

Some extremist believers also continued to desperately defend Yan Huang, and many confrontations and even group fights occurred on the streets of Hua Xia.

Just when the situation was deadlocked, a major incident occurred in Ice City.

The king of the mutated beasts roaming the Greater Khingan Range, a giant Siberian tiger called the Enemy of Ten Thousand, broke through the limits of land creatures and reached SS-level!

After the Enemy of Ten Thousand advanced, it led countless Quasi-SS Class, S-level advanced mutated beasts, as well as several billion low-level mutated beasts, in a fierce attack on Ice City!

Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Ice City Beast Tide

Translator: 549690339

The Mutated Beast, Wan Ren Di, had been rampant in the northeastern Hua Xia and West Siberia Sand Russia for many years. It was a giant tiger that was more than 10 meters long and over 4 meters tall.

When Lin Zhen was reborn, this tiger had already become a Quasi-SS Class.

Generally speaking, for terrestrial mutated beasts on Earth, advancing to the Quasi-SS Class is the apex. Once an SS-level Mutated Beast appears, it is almost certain that a monster attack will occur.

Not to mention how strong the combat capabilities of an SS-level Mutated

Beast itself are, but more importantly, it can command hundreds of

Quasi-SS-level Mutated Beasts, which in turn can command countless S-level Mutated Beasts. S-levels command A-levels, and so on in a cycle, causing the mutated beasts within a thousand miles to rise and form an endless beast tide, overwhelming the Ice City.

By the time the Ice City side noticed that something was wrong, the entire city had been surrounded by mutated beasts, leaving no escape.

Standing on the city wall of Ice City and looking outward, the sky was covered by mutated beasts as far as the eye could see.

On the ground, ferocious mutant tigers, agile mutant leopards, giant mutant human bears, thick-skinned wild boars, wildcats, deer, etc., filled the ranks of the mutated beast army.

Each collision with the massive wild buffalo that was several meters tall seemed to shake the city walls.

Huge pangolins even began to attempt to dig tunnels into the Ice City from underground.

In the sky, countless sparrows, swallows, pigeons, crows, magpies, gray falcons, etc., were like formations of fighter jets, attacking the city walls of Ice City continuously.

The discussion between Lin Zhen and the Gods Clan was put on hold, and the attention of the whole world was focused on this large-scale mutated beast attack.

The Ice City army quickly mobilized, and countless modern war weapons began to exert their power.

Machine guns, missiles, land mines, rocket launchers, and even laser weapons were put to use, and the Ice City Defense Army, numbering up to 5 million, launched a counterattack against the beast tide.

The first wave of mutated beasts to take the field were cannon fodder, mainly small mutants such as mutant chickens, mutant rabbits, and mutant rats. These creatures were not strong and were shattered by various modern weapons.

On the first day, the Ice City Defense Army achieved brilliant results, killing more than a billion mutated beasts!

The casualties of the defense army itself were not significant, which led the people of Ice City to breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps the mutated beast attack was not as terrifying as they thought.

However, from the second day, the situation changed suddenly.

Mutated birds hovering in the sky suddenly attacked, catching the defense army off guard. Several rising fighter jets were shot down by mutated birds, and the mutated beasts began to concentrate their forces for breakthroughs, causing the southern wall of the Ice City to be temporarily occupied by the mutated beasts.

At this time, the value of martial artists was revealed.

The martial artists from the Gale, Changfeng, Dragon Slayer, Blue Sky, Shadow Dance Martial Arts Academy and other major martial academies took to the battlefield.

These martial artists, together with the soldiers, resolutely counterattacked the monsters that had climbed onto the city wall.

The martial artists had a clear division of labor. High-level experts of the Quasi-Star Realm Level would actively seek out high-level mutated beasts such as S-levels.

War God Levels, on the other hand, were responsible for dealing with A-levels.

When Quasi-SS-Class Mutated Beasts appeared, a group of experts would rush forward to attack, determined not to let the high-level mutated beasts invade the city.

The bloody tug-of-war continued for three hours, and with the support of various weapons and the concerted efforts of the martial artists, this wave of monster attacks was repelled.

However, this battle was also a heavy loss for the Ice City side.

As a member of the World War God Alliance ranked first, Hua Xia immediately dispatched troops to Ice City for support and notified other countries around the world, dispatching War God Powerhouses from all over the world to Ice City for support.

However, the support effect was not satisfactory. In addition to the large scale of the beast tide this time, there was another major reason: many rulers of countries outside of Hua Xia were believers in the Gods Clan.

Keep in mind that this time, they were supporting Lin Zhen's hometown, Ice City Base City, which was now at odds with the Gods Clan and had even kidnapped Lin Zhen's parents.

As members of the Gods Clan, they naturally considered the interests of the Gods Clan. So when the War God Alliance dispatched War Gods to Hua Xia, many countries interfered.

They first procrastinated by various means, delaying the departure date of the War Gods.

When they couldn't procrastinate anymore, some War Gods claimed to be injured and sick, continuing to delay.

When they finally reluctantly dispatched some War Gods, they were mostly Primary and Intermediate War Gods.

How useful could a Primary War God be on the battlefield?

Just like Bai Feng, who failed to compress the air in his Dantian during the Yi Lan incident, even a War God Level middle-stage without that ability was chased and fleeed by an A-level Mutant Rat giant palm bear. In a battlefield full of mutated beasts, primary War God Level could play a limited role.

The most reliable support came from domestic assistance in Hua Xia, where various base cities sent their people to Ice City to fight against the monsters.

From the northwest, Feng Ni, Li Changying, and others led thousands of martial artists from the Northwestern Army.

From the Demon Capital, people such as Tang Wenbo and Jiang Huai also brought thousands of people.

And those who had been in the God Generals Training Camp, like Zhao Xiaoman, who had become War Gods, came to Ice City from all over the country and various ancient god ruins.

Many of them came for Lin Zhen's sake. Lin Zhen's parents' incident happened suddenly, and they couldn't make it in time for the rescue. But this time, Lin Zhen's hometown was in trouble, and he himself was trapped in the Ancient God City, so they couldn't just let Lin Zhen's hometown fall.

In the fierce battle, hundreds of millions of mutated beasts died under the towering walls of the Ice City every day, and many martial artists' blood stained their uniforms and lives were lost on the battlefield.

According to statistics, more than five million people died in battle in the first five days alone!

Almost every day, close to a million lives were lost in the monsters' siege.

However, the people of Hua Xia were still very united during this time, and over the years, the defensive facilities of Ice City had become extremely refined, so although the mutated beasts' siege was fierce, it was not enough to completely defeat Ice City.

But the number of mutated beasts did not seem to decrease much. The siege continued for several days, and more and more mutated beasts arrived to reinforce their ranks, making it impossible to kill them all beneath the city walls.

Based on people's past experiences, this battle could last for several months, as it was a contest of resources, manpower, and stamina.

Unless there was a group of extremely powerful experts who could break through the beast tide, find the Ten Thousand Enemies, and kill them, it would be impossible to end the mutated beasts' siege in a short period of time.

Satellite data also showed the location of the Ten Thousand Enemies, which was about a hundred miles deep in the beast tide. It was an impossible mission to get there and kill an SS-level mutated beast protected by many high-level mutated beasts, so people prepared for a protracted battle.

However, on the seventh day, the situation suddenly changed.

In addition to the four city gates, Ice City also had two water gates in the north and south, and the Songhua River flowed through the city. The water gates were sealed by huge iron gates, which usually barred any slightly larger mutated beasts in the water from passing through.

But this time was different. A type of monster fish with incredibly sharp teeth appeared and forcibly bit through the iron gates that blocked the river, allowing countless water monsters to swarm into the city.

Numerous monster fish climbed ashore using their fins as feet, along with giant crabs, wriggling water snakes, and even yacht-sized crocodiles and countless mutated shrimp.

The appearance of these water monsters nearly brought Ice City to its knees. Some people who lived on both sides of the river were completely devoured by the monsters.

Fortunately, the banks of the river in Ice City were different from other places. Here, there were two inner walls, which Lin Zhen had privately spent six hundred billion to construct, and which were nearly completed by this time. These two city walls' gates were breached at one point, but after that, the martial artists rrom all over tne country rougnt nerce1Y ana maae nuge sacrifices to force the first wave of water monsters back into the water, finally closing the newly established gates.

As the water monsters were unable to enter the city, they could only swim along the river banks and could not climb up the city walls, reducing the danger significantly.

Then, it was time for modern warfare weapons to play their part. Countless weapons, purchased by Lin Zhen, were mounted on the city walls and began to fire at the mutated water monsters in the river.

The intense bombardment lasted for three days and nights. The Songhua River turned red with the blood of countless mutated water monsters, whose bodies piled up like small hills and were then washed downstream by the river.

It wasn't until three days later that the waterways were basically cleared, and the number of water monsters coming from upstream diminished.

It was only then that Ice City entered a relatively safe period, at least there was no immediate danger of the city being broken.

However, the international support was still lackluster, with War Gods arriving one after another, but it was apparent that they weren't fully committed, leaving Ice City to maintain a delicate balance with the mutated beasts.

The martial artists couldn't break through and kill the Ten Thousand Enemies, while the mutated beasts didn't have the power to break Ice City in a short time.

Perhaps both sides were exhausted, so half a month after the siege began, the mutated beasts ceased their attack. They began to devour the bodies of their own kind, gradually strengthening themselves, while more and more of them continued to arrive.

The people of Ice City got this rare chance to catch their breath, starting to reinforce their defenses and airlifting ammunition into the city via flying saucers from other base cities.

It wasn't easy for other fighter jets to enter Ice City when the skies were filled with mutated birds, which also served as an excuse for other countries not to send troops promptly.

In any case, the situation had temporarily calmed down, but the people of Ice City knew well that the mutated beasts were still gathering strength, and that the next attack would definitely be even more violent and fierce. Defending Ice City was no easy feat.

It wasn't until this point that An Ning, the young miss of the An Group who had been on the frontline fighting the mutated beasts, spoke up.

"Do you know why Ice City has been preserved? Why have the hundreds of millions of people in Ice City not become the bellyful of mutated beasts? If Lin Zhen hadn't spent six hundred billion alone to build two walls along the river for Ice City, we would all be dead by now!"

"For those who were talking big on the internet before, insulting Lin Zhen and praising the Gods Clan, I want to ask you now, where is your god? Why won't he come and save his devout believers?"

"If you look down on Lin Zhen, don't live inside the walls he built! If you are capable, get out of Ice City! Leave these life-saving walls and go find the protection of your true god!"

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: The Awakening of the Ice City People

Translator: 549690339

An Ning's outburst suddenly woke up many citizens of Ice City.

The Hua Xia people were well aware of the perfunctory attitude of other countries. At the time, some even blamed Lin Zhen for offending the Gods Clan, causing many foreign high-level officials to turn a blind eye to Hua Xia's plight. But now it seems that Lin Zhen was right to offend them, as these bastards were truly inhumane.

An Ning was right. Who was Ice City relying on to persist up to now?

The country said Lin Zhen could make any request, but he chose to build walls for Ice City, and spent 600 billion of his own money. He not only didn't take advantage of the situation but ended up at a significant loss.

Now, the millions of people in Ice City could only survive thanks to Lin Zhen's selfless act. Otherwise, the city would have been lost to that wave of water monsters.

Looking at Lin Zhen's selflessness and the performance of the Gods Clan in this monster attack, it became clear who was in the right.

Some believers of the Gods Clan began to waver and struggle in their hearts.

Silence filled the front line of resistance against the mutated beasts.

A slightly hoarse female voice sounded: "Sister An Ning, I support what you said. Brother Lin has done so much for his hometown and people, and the actions of the Gods Clan are chilling. I've long been fed up with them. From today on, I will no longer worship that bitch-bred True God of the Stars!"

People looked over and saw a beautiful girl standing among the crowd, fiercely tearing off the Star Sky Divine Teaching symbol on her clothes and stepping on it.

An Ning glanced at the girl and smiled, "I know you, you're Zhao Xiaoman, right?"

"Yes, Sister An Ning, I can't believe you know me! I'm so happy!"

Zhao Xiaoman happily ran to An Ning's side, casually wrapping An Ning's arm around hers, then pointed her slender jade finger at the surrounding people with conflicted expressions: "What's wrong with you people? At this point, you still want to cling to that bullshit Gods Clan? Have your brains turned to mush? Have you forgotten who saved your lives for that elusive thing? If you think the Gods Clan is more important than your life, then hurry up and die for it! Don't stick around inside the walls built by Brother Lin while cursing him! I'm ashamed on your behalf! Pah!"

Some Gods Clan believers turned red with shame. Meng Dong from Gale Martial Arts Hall was the first to pull something from his shoulder, not seeing exactly what he had torn off before stomping on it with his foot like Zhao Xiaoman: "Gale Martial Arts Hall is quitting this bullshit Gods Clan!"

Once someone took the lead, it was much easier for others to follow. The actions of Zhao Xiaoman and Meng Dong resonated with many people, setting off a frenzy on the battlefield.

Feng Ni looked back at the martial artists from the Northwest Military Martial

Arts Association: "Who among you still worships the Star Sky Divine Teaching? Get rid of that stuff right now! We people of the Northwest always rely on our own strength to fight. Can faith replace the swords and guns in your hands?"

Quite a few people from the Northwest decisively removed the Gods Clan symbol, crushing it into the mud.

Tang Wenbo also looked back at the martial artists from Demon Capital: "We Demon Capital warriors often face sea monsters due to our proximity to the sea. Next time I find anyone still worshiping this bullshit Gods Clan, I'll throw them into the sharks!"

The martial artists from Demon Capital were also straightforward, tearing sounds filling the air.

Then, martial artists from Ice City, like Zhao Liang and Shi Lei, all followed suit. Yang Jianying from Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall even laughed, "We at Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall threw that Gods Clan crap into the trash long ago. We don't need that stuff."

In the end, even Ma Yao and Wei Li from Gale Martial Arts Hall, who originally didn't get along with Lin Zhen, did the same.

The climax came when the mayor of Ice City Base City, Lu Ming, made a speech on television.

"People of Ice City and fellow citizens from all over the country, we in Ice City have experienced a few days of great difficulty, facing an unprecedented scale of mutated beast attacks. We united as one, bravely fought, and defended our city and homes with blood and life."

"But during this battle, we must not forget the contributions Lin Zhen made to our city. Without his foresight, Ice City would not exist anymore. To be honest, I, as the mayor, feel ashamed that I didn't pay enough attention to Lin Zhen's proposal at the time. Although the idea of building walls along the river channel had crossed my mind, the cost was too high, and I never made up my mind.'

"However, Lin Zhen did it for us. He even gave up his right to make any request to the country and paid 600 billion out of his own pocket to build the walls along the river channel, protecting us from the beast tide."

At this point, Lu Ming became angry: "Now look at the Gods Clan, which we've believed in for thousands of years. What have they done for us? Not only did they refuse to send aid, but they even used their power to influence other countries' War Gods not to support us, almost completely burying Ice City!" "What's the use of believing in such a religion? What's the use of protecting it?"

"As the mayor of Ice City, I now propose to all of you: remove the Gods Clan symbols from your bodies, take the Gods Clan scriptures from your homes, and sweep all these things into the trash heap. Our fate should be in our own hands, not in the hands of any so-called 'god'!"

Lu Ming's order was not only seen by people in Ice City but also people across the country and even the whole world.

This speech stirred up enormous waves in Ice City. People took to the streets, tore down churches, and burned everything related to the Gods Clan. Occasionally, a few stubborn Gods Clan believers were even beaten to death by the angry crowd.

The Northwestern Base City, Capital Base City, and Demon Capital Base City in Hua Xia quickly responded to Ice City's call and initiated a vigorous de-conversion movement.

Large-scale anti-Gods Clan marches also began in the southern and Tianfu base cities. After all, Hua Xia was a united front. If the Gods Clan could treat Ice City like this, it could do the same to other cities in the future.

Civilians were not fools. As a famous saying in the Common Era went, the eyes of the masses were always sharp. Worshiping the Gods Clan in the apocalypse was a kind of spiritual sustenance, but now this spiritual dependence was on the verge of collapse.

People believe more in power, which is evident in the era of people's martial arts practice, and their awareness keeps getting clearer.

Hua Xia people are simple and kind, but also wise. They can be gentle like sheep, and also roar like lions.

Previously, Hua Xia had the largest number of believers worldwide, with 350 million out of the one billion Gods Clan's believers around the world.

After Lin Zhen and Gods Clan took the opposing path, the number of believers continued to decline. Before the Ice City incident, the number of Hua Xia Gods Clan believers had reduced by 100 million!

After the outbreak of the Ice City incident, it even triggered a nationwide exodus from the Gods Clan. Churches were destroyed everywhere, and the number of believers decreased rapidly. In just two short days, the number of Hua Xia believers had sharply dropped to 80 million!

Moreover, this number was still declining. As for the Ice City Region, it was almost impossible to find any real believers of the Gods Clan.

The mutated beasts outside that were as relentless as ocean tides gave people tremendous pressure to survive. Lin Zhen's matter was only a fuse, and the main cause was the Gods Clan's inaction, which led to the unprecedented unity of Hua Xia people.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire."

An Ning stood on the city wall, whispering softly.

At this moment, she missed Lin Zhen more than ever, wondering how he was doing now.

"My love, our homeland is still here, you must come back safely."

The events that erupted in Hua Xia caught the church off guard.

"Crack! "

The white jade wine glass was smashed to the marble floor by Yan Huang, shattering.

"Damn Lin Zhen, he's already almost at the end of the road in the Ancient God City, but he can still pull off such a stunt, stopping his wretched soul from leaving!"

Yan Huang was utterly furious. Capturing Lin Zhen's parents was the right move, but the Hua Xia Government strongly protested against this matter and demanded that the church must ensure the safety of Lin Zhen's parents and broadcast their situation live.

If this demand is not met, it would mean the church is making an enemy of

Hua Xia.

Moreover, the Martial Artists Union also raised the requirement to ensure the safety of Lin Zhen's parents to the church, claiming that the church's actions violated the rules, and they could not guarantee that future events would not develop in a direction unfavorable to the church.

Faced with pressure from Hua Xia and the Martial Artists Union, although Yan Huang captured Lin Zhen's parents, he dared not do anything to them easily. He had to take good care of them since they were in the wrong.

So Yan Huang had no choice but to release a video of Lin Zhen's parents every day to appease the public's anger.

However, he had never expected the wave of apostasy this time.

Originally, the matter of Lin Liye's couple had gradually subsided under his mediation, and everything would be fine as long as Lin Zhen was captured. However, he did not expect an attack on Ice City by mutated beasts.

And Lin Zhen's huge investment in building two city walls played a significant role in saving Ice City from being conquered, making Lin Zhen's popularity among Hua Xia people reach an all-time high.

Now the public opinion in Hua Xia is all on Lin Zhen's side, and this young man has once again become a national hero, almost as influential as Yan Qiyue of Hua Xia hundreds of years ago.

Moreover, some stupid heads of state made a decision that almost made Yan Huang burst a blood vessel: they tried to exploit the issue of aiding Hua Xia. How could they even exploit such a matter?

Even if they did, they should have been more discreet. They didn't handle things properly, and the Gods Clan ended up taking the blame for everything.

But Yan Huang had no way of turning back. He must persist to the end, no matter what. He firmly believed that as long as Lin Zhen was eliminated, there would still be room for maneuver, and the reputation of the Gods Clan would gradually be restored given time.

"What's the progress in the Ancient God City? It's been almost two months! Is there still no news about Lin Zhen? In less than a month, it will be the day I announce my marriage, but there's not even a hint yet. The bride-to-be in the plan has directly defected from the Gods Clan. Do you want me to marry air?" Yan Huang roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, there's news now. Adam's group has sent a message saying that they've found Lin Zhen's location and are closing in."

Tell them to hurry up, or there'll be no believers left in my Gods Clan!"

Yan Huang stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky and holding the Star Sky Crown in his hand. He knew that he must win the matter of Lin

Zhen and Su Mingyue. Once he loses, the Gods Clan will never be able to

recover..

Chapter 308: Chapter 305: Spatial Cage

Translator: 549690339

In the North Pole area of the second layer of the Ancient God City, it was very close to the extreme point. A little to the south of the extreme point, there was a burning palace.

Adams, a Star List expert from Europe and America, walked out from it with two Star Realm experts beside him. One was named Haddad, who had entered with him, and the other was from the European Union, exuding a momentum that was almost equal to Adams's.

"Hahaha! I finally found a way to deal with Lin Zhen. This Spatial Cage made of Void Stone can only be made by you, Arthur. Thanks to our old acquaintance, with this stone, our team will achieve great success." Adams was full of confidence.

Arthur smiled, "You should go. There are only two of these stones, and this one's effect is not very good. The other one is not ready yet, and you're eager. If you wait two more days, the other stone will be more effective when it's done."

"I really can't wait. You don't know the situation outside, sigh… enough talk, let's get going, this one should be enough."

Haddad flattered, "Sir Adams, with Mr. Arthur's help, you will definitely become the chief referee this time, and you must give us a boost."

Adams smiled and nodded, "Of course, but we have to be careful. The situation outside is not optimistic. I heard that the number of members of our Gods Clan has dropped to just over half of its peak. The initial one billion believers are now less than six hundred million. If we can't handle Lin Zhen, we're in big trouble."

After that, Adams asked Haddad, "Lin Zhen didn't run away, did he?"

"No, our people are watching closely. Following your instructions, we have a newly arrived Primary War God with a compass, trailing Lin Zhen from afar. Due to his weaker strength, his color on Lin Zhen's compass is very faint, especially at a distance. Lin Zhen is almost impossible to detect, and to him, it's just a big black spot. I've instructed them to keep within three kilometers and wait for our orders."

Adams and Haddad said goodbye to Arthur and activated the cold air on their suits to withstand the scorching temperatures of the North Pole. They quickly headed in Lin Zhen's direction.

In a cave on a small hillside, Lin Zhen burst out with a loud rumbling. He had a fiery red crystal stone in his hand, and Xiao Nuan was following him closely.

Behind them, a severely injured giant lizard pursued, and after nearly ten minutes of fighting, Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan finally succeeded in taking down the Quasi-SS Class Mutated Beast.

"Phew! This was hard! A Quasi-SS Class Mutated Beast would have been impossible for me to deal with alone if it wasn't for Xiao Nuan."

"But the gains have been great too. In two whole months, I have collected six

Flame Hearts and thousands of S-level crystals, and four hundred Quasi-SS Class crystals! This has been sixty days of struggle!"

Having dug out this Quasi-SS Class crystal, Lin Zhen was extremely satisfied.

Having spent so long in the North Pole area, he was in a state of tension every day. He had a feeling that more crystals were better, which was why he had been working so hard to collect them. Getting this Quasi-SS Class crystal today finally calmed him down a bit.

He also practiced the fifth level of Overturning River, which greatly increased his combat power.

"According to my plan, the current number of crystals should be sufficient for me to make a breakthrough."

Then he looked at the compass in his hand and frowned slightly.

"There are people over there!"

On the compass, three or four faintly colored dots were moving, coming slowly towards him.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and decided to secretly follow them to see who they were.

Arriving about a hundred meters away from them, Lin Zhen stealthily prowled.

There were three Quasi-Star Realms and a War God. They were walking and chatting as they went along.

"I wonder where Lin Zhen could have gone. We have been searching for two months but still have no trace."

"Who knows? Lin Zhen can enter the space, and it's useless even if we find him.

Just keep searching slowly. After all, Lin Zhen's parents have been captured. I heard that Su Mingyue has agreed to marry the Pope, and it seems the wedding is about to be held." said another.

"Is that so? When did this happen?"

As the group talked, they got further and further away, and Lin Zhen couldn't hear their voices anymore.

Hearing these words, Lin Zhen's heart suddenly grew cold.

His parents were captured! He had no idea when this had happened.

This was likely to be true, as half of the world was believers of the Gods Clan. His parents hiding with Li Yao may not have been safe, which was where Lin Zhen had been careless.

And they said that Yue'er had agreed to marry the Pope. How could that be possible?

Lin Zhen had never doubted Su Mingyue's feelings for him, but these people seemed to have specific details. Could it be that Yue'er had compromised in order to save her parents?

Lin Zhen decided to capture these people and ask for clarification.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Zhen immediately followed.

When those few people saw Lin Zhen appear, they surprisingly didn't show any panic, but instead, had a cold smile on their faces. Lin Zhen's heart was suddenly shocked.

"Not good, it's an ambush!" Lin Zhen's gaze turned cold, realizing something was wrong.

"Hahaha, Lin Zhen, your end has come today."

With an incredibly fast speed and the use of Star Power for teleportation, the two flashed and appeared around Lin Zhen.

As soon as these two people stood there, Lin Zhen knew that today's matter would not end well. Adams was a Star List expert, standing there with an incredibly powerful aura. Moreover, there was another Star Realm expert who seemed to be even stronger than Li Yao.

Lin Zhen's current strength was not enough to handle even one Star List expert, let alone one with an assistant.

He first raised his hand, allowing Xiao Nuan to enter the Black Ghost. It was better not to let Xiao Nuan participate in a battle of this level.

"Lin Zhen, oh Lin Zhen, you've been playing hide-and-seek with us in Ancient God City for two months. Finally, we found you. Don't be so strange. Things like the compass are not treasures; you have them, and so do we." Adams lifted the compass in his hand and sneered at Lin Zhen.

"Are you so sure you can catch me?"

"Not sure, but we can try."

Lin Zhen took out the Seven Kills Spear. Although he knew he was no match, he still wanted to try just how capable a Star List expert was.

"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Let's finish you off today!" Adams drew his sword with a clang, and Haddad followed suit.

Lin Zhen held the Seven Kills horizontally: "Let's give it a try!"

Adams slashed with his sword. Under the influence of strong Star Power, a five-foot-long Sword Gang even appeared on the opponent's sword!

Sword Gang was Sword Qi, but this Sword Qi had actually condensed into a tangible substance. With one sword strike, spatial rifts appeared, and a powerful attack rushed like an overwhelming wave, giving people an unstoppable feeling.

This was actually a holy artifact-level longsword!

But Lin Zhen was determined to try and would not give in. The Seven Kills

Spear danced in his hand, and "Immovable Like a Mountain" was activated!

After being infused with golden energy, the Seven Kills Spear also reached the level of a holy artifact, and it collided with the opponent's longsword!

"Buzz!"

With a numb arm, Lin Zhen actually took a step back!

The opponent struck his spear with a longsword, forcing Lin Zhen to retreat!

Without waiting for Lin Zhen to recover, Haddad's attack immediately followed. Lin Zhen blocked Haddad's attack once again, but Adams' attack soon came after. The two had extremely tacit cooperation, giving Lin Zhen no chance to catch his breath. Every attack was made when Lin Zhen's old strength had faded, and new strength had not yet emerged.

Using "Immovable Like a Mountain," Lin Zhen barely blocked hundreds of attacks from his opponents, feeling a numbness in his arm. Adams' Sword Gang attack was too fierce. At this rate, he would soon be defeated.

Lin Zhen didn't even dare to teleport. The opponents were both Star Realm experts and could teleport at any time. Moreover, if one person used Mental Shock to restrain Lin Zhen for a millisecond, the other could take Lin Zhen's life.

The only solution was to hide, to hide in the Foldable Space.

But Lin Zhen was not willing to fail so miserably. After continuously blocking Adams' attack with the "Immovable Like a Mountain," when Haddad's attack came, he struck back for the first time!

He opened his eyes wide, and two bursts of light flickered in them, like suddenly lit incandescent lamps, causing a moment of confusion for the Star Realm expert.

"It's not good, he's counterattacking, help me!"

"Die, Lin Zhen!"

Adams immediately launched an attack on Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen ignored it and had already prepared the Seven Kills Spear. He used the fifth level of the Spear River, Overturning River!

With one spear strike, the Star Realm expert Haddad felt as if a huge wave was crashing down in front of him. Unable to dodge, half of his body was directly vaporized by the Overturning River, and he died on the spot!

Lin Zhen had paid the price for this life-risking attack. Adams' fierce sword strike landed on him, but thankfully, the Sacred Armor defended Lin Zhen, saving his life.

However, Lin Zhen still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He activated his mental power, opened the Foldable Space, and hid his body within.

"Damn it, Lin Zhen, you're using this trick again. This time, I'll completely lock you up here!"

Adams took out a Void Stone, which Arthur had given him. It could completely seal a piece of space. Since Lin Zhen had disappeared here, his actual position was also within this spatial range.

Adams would use the Void Stone to seal this place and then use a secret method to move this piece of space.

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Spatial Cutting

Translator: 549690339

The Void Stone flashed, and a circular, transparent sphere-like space appeared, sealing off the area within it.

After the space was sealed, Adams immediately took out his communicator.

"Brother Arthur, I've locked Lin Zhen in a space cage using the Void Stone you gave me. What should I do next?"

Arthur on the other side replied immediately: "This kind of spatial cage can't be broken without strong Star Power as a support, so you don't need to worry about Lin Zhen breaking out. The only way to move the cage is for four Star Realm experts to move it slowly using their Star Power as support. I'm currently perfecting the next Void Stone, so I can't come and help you for now. You'll have to figure something out."

"Alright, I'll think of something." Adams ended the call and summoned several quasi-Star Realm experts who had been hiding far away since the beginning of the fight. They had been filming the battle, so Adams asked them to record more and then send the footage to the Pope to ask for assistance in moving the spatial cage back to the Holy See.

Lin Zhen, inside the Foldable Space, could see Adams' actions and hear his words.

The surrounding spatial cage seemed to be a real cage, locking him inside. Even if he escaped now, he would still be trapped within the cage.

Lin Zhen didn't expect the opponent to have this trick up their sleeve.

He had seen spatial cages made from Void Stones before, and they were not uncommon in the future interstellar era.

There were two methods to crack the cage. One was relying on tremendous strength to break it directly.

The other was to find a flaw in the cage and use Space Power to break it.

Lin Zhen first used his Spiritual Power to examine the spatial cage.

As his Spiritual Power scanned the area, the surrounding light twisted, making the space look strange. The external space surrounded the spatial cage, and the spatial cage encased the Foldable Space Lin Zhen occupied. Space twisted and shimmered here.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen's spiritual power had reached the Diamond Middle Stage. After scanning several times, he found that the spatial cage was not invulnerable.

Of course, it was impossible for him to break it with his current strength. Even if he advanced to the quasi-Star Realm, it might not be enough. He would need to advance to the Star Realm in one go.

Since brute force wouldn't work, the only option left was to break it using Space Power.

Having absorbed a Spatial Star Crystal and mastered teleportation, as well as creating the Foldable Space technique, Lin Zhen had studied Space Power quite thoroughly.

"In the past few days, I've spent my free time studying Space Power. I've been researching a way to cut through space, but my strength is still not quite sufficient. If I can break through to the quasi-Star Realm, perhaps I'll have a chance to break this spatial cage."

"At this point, I have no other choice. Without Star List level strength, I won't be able to do anything in this Ancient God City. The only way is to advance to the quasi-Star Realm."

"However, I don't know if the crystals I have will be enough to satisfy the requirements for my advancement. If I lack even a bit of power at this point, my future strength will be weakened by a corresponding amount."

Lin Zhen ignored everything outside and began meditating within the Foldable Space, first using his Radiant power to restore his injuries.

Adams' attack had been powerful, and he would be in big trouble if he didn't recover properly.

Thankfully, Lin Zhen had already resonated with the light molecules. His recovery speed and efficiency were quick, and after spending five full hours, he managed to heal his injuries.

Afterwards, Lin Zhen took out all the crystals he owned and piled them in front of him.

"Finally, it's time to advance to the quasi-Star Realm."

"The quasi-Star Realm is the transition process from the Level Nine War God Peak to the Star Realm. It's the process of turning one's Dantian into spinning gas. Once the gas completely condenses into a Star Core, one becomes a Star Realm expert."

"Now, let my Dantian become spinning gas."

With a large number of well-adjusted S-level crystals placed in front of his lower abdomen, Lin Zhen began to absorb the power within the crystals. "For the first time, I'll start with three hundred S-level crystals."

The gas in his Dantian began to rotate slowly as the power from the crystals was infused.

Lin Zhen had already reached the peak of Level 9, and his Dantian was almost saturated with gas. Once new energy arrived, his Dantian started to spin.

"Hiss!"

A stream of white light poured into Lin Zhen's Dantian, making it grow increasingly more powerful!

Each crystal was almost instantly absorbed dry, becoming waste.

Not only was his Dantian spinning, but the Dark Star was also spinning. A lot of the gas in his Dantian was being absorbed by the Dark Star, so the growth of his Dantian gas wasn't very fast.

"As I thought, the Dark Star is a power-hungry monster. It's a good thing I've prepared plenty of crystals this time, otherwise advancing to the quasi-Star Realm would really be a problem."

Within twenty minutes, the three hundred S-level crystals had turned to waste, and there still seemed to be plenty of room for his Dantian to absorb more.

"Again!"

Lin Zhen once again took out another three hundred S-level crystals, allowing his Dantian to continue absorbing and devouring the power."

This time, he persevered for half an hour, and the Qi in Lin Zhen's Dantian had almost doubled in size. The vortex grew larger and larger, like a spinning ocean.

The Dark Star also became more and more bright, with its energy surging and seemingly on the verge of condensing into a Star Core at any moment.

"I want to see how much energy you can absorb before you can advance to the Quasi-Star Realm."

Lin Zhen took out all the remaining four hundred S-level crystals for the third time and continued to nourish his Dantian Qi.

However, the Dantian Qi's demand was still not satisfied, Lin Zhen's Qi continued to grow. The only difference was that, if the initial Dantian Qi was like Bohai Bay, it was now like the Yellow Sea.

For the fourth time, Lin Zhen took out all the Quasi-SS level crystals and let his Dantian absorb them again.

After this absorption, Lin Zhen felt that the speed at which his Dantian Qi absorbed energy had slowed down. He thought it was getting close to the limit, but it was still a bit off.

"As I thought, I haven't absorbed enough crystals. So there's only one way left, to absorb the Dark Energy Stones."

Lin Zhen took out fifty Dark Energy Stones and absorbed them again.

"Hahaha! Good! Well done, Adams, really well done!"

Upon receiving the report from his subordinates, Pope Yan Huang laughed with delight within the church.

At first, he hadn't placed his hopes on these small hunter squads but on his teacher, Laricus.

Not only did Laricus take the Breaking Boundary Nail, but he also came back and took the Divine Cloak, saying that he would definitely eliminate Lin Zhen for him. However, Adams managed to trap Lin Zhen in the Spatial Cage before he received any news from Laricus.

Now all he needed to do was send someone to bring the Spatial Cage back to the church, and then put up a strict guard, waiting for Lin Zhen to reveal himself from within so he could be captured alive.

He had seen all the video footage, and Lin Zhen was indeed trapped.

Yan Huang stroked his chin and said, "Alright, inform the nearest hunter teams to go support Adams, and as for these videos… put them on the internet."

The church immediately took action, and soon, shocking news appeared on the internet.

Lin Zhen captured!

Clear video clips were uploaded, and Lin Zhen's situation in the Ancient God City became known to the whole world.

Yan Huang also issued a special statement on this incident.

He originally wanted to announce it only after capturing Lin Zhen himself, but he couldn't wait any longer. The current situation was too grim for the Gods Clan: the number of believers was rapidly declining, and even some other countries other than Hua Xia were seriously losing believers.

For example, the African Union and Brazil, the situation in these two countries was not optimistic.

Only the European Union, the United States, Sand Russia, and India were slightly better, but they were still far from their peak periods.

People were discussing that the Gods Clan couldn't even defeat Lin Zhen and had no future, so he had to speak up.

On television and the internet, Yan Huang said with a smile,

"People of the Gods Clan all over the world, I have an exciting piece of news to share with you today. Four hours ago, the blasphemous Lin Zhen was captured in the Ancient God City by our brave warriors. I believe you have all seen the video."

"Actually, we all know that this is an inevitable outcome. It is foolish and overconfident for one person to try to fight against an organization with half the world's population."

"Originally, I wanted to invite Lin Zhen's parents to our Gods Clan as guests to persuade their son to change his ways as soon as possible. As you all have seen, we have always treated Lin Zhen's parents with great respect and never mistreated them. However, Lin Zhen still stubbornly walks down the path of confronting the Gods Clan. A person who can so easily disregard his own parents is not worth pity."

"Here, I declare Lin Zhen to be a heretic, an unscrupulous blasphemer who does not deserve the forgiveness of the gods. Our Gods Clan warriors have already set out and will bring Lin Zhen back to Constantinople within a few hours. At that time, I will judge and sentence Lin Zhen's crimes."

"For thousands of years, evil has never triumphed over justice. The power of light has always persisted. I won't arrogantly claim that I am justice, but I, Yan Huang Lucifer, indeed received the inheritance of the Gods Clan's Holy Light Armor Set. This is the most powerful evidence of the True God's existence.

Everything Lin Zhen said is groundless, so his demise is his only outcome."

"May the True God of the Stars be with you, people of the Gods Clan!"

As Yan Huang said this, the seven-piece Holy Light Armor set descended from the sky, emitting thousands of rays of white light, and fell onto him one by one.

Sword, shield, and full-body armor covered him, making Yan Huang's appearance resemble that of a celestial being, appearing before the world in an extremely stylish manner.

This image was captured and spread worldwide, with Yan Huang being hailed once again as the Son of the True God, walking on earth in place of the deity.

Upon seeing this scene, some people believed that the deity truly exists, and others chose to join the Gods Clan.

The number of Gods Clan believers, which had been declining during these days, had finally stopped falling and showed a slight sign of recovery. As long as Lin Zhen was captured, everything would seem to be in order..

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Promotion to the Quasi Star Realm

Translator: 549690339

Yan Huang's speech once again sparked a great storm in the world.

Especially his comment that he will absolutely not forgive Lin Zhen. Clearly Lin Zhen and the Gods Clan had reached a point of no return, and it's bound to end with the downfall of one party.

In Hua Xia, many of Lin Zhen's supporters were furious. They wanted to storm Constantinople to rescue Lin Zhen who was about to be captured.

But Yan Huang threatened against this.

The conflict between him and Lin Zhen was their own business. If outsiders rushed to interfere, don't blame him for acting in the name of the true God to first eliminate Lin Zhen's parents who had always refused to persuade their son to surrender.

Yan Huang was very annoyed with Lin Zhen's parents. He captured these two to threaten Lin Zhen, but the news hadn't reached Lin Zhen yet. That young man moved alone after entering the Ancient God City, and there was no network in the Ancient God City so he couldn't receive any news from the outside world, and till now doesn't know that his parents have been captured.

At times Yan Huang even pondered if he should spread the news to the whole world, declaring the execution time of Lin Zhen's parents. He believes that by then, Lin Zhen would definitely find out.

But he dared not act rashly. That would be an act that incurs public wrath. Unless it was a last resort, he would definitely not use such a strategy.

This time when Lin Zhen's supporters even dared to call out wanting to storm the Gods Clan, he issued a decisive threat – if they want Lin Zhen's parents to die, then come!

Sure enough, many Hua Xia Martial Artists hesitated, not daring to act recklessly.

Moreover, Ice City was currently besieged by mutated beasts, and most martial artists couldn't be spared. Hence, they were really helpless against the Pope's threat.

Seeing such a simple method to suppress the Hua Xia Martial Artists, a plan emerged in Yan Huang's heart.

Such a good method ought to be used at an appropriate time.

As for Lin Zhen's parents' survival, it was NOT important to him at all, but these were two important hostages.

If Lin Zhen was captured this time, his parents would be of no use. If it is not successful, then they would be of great use.

People being what they are, after issuing a threat with Lin Zhen's parents for the first time, Yan Huang would not hesitate to do it for the second time.

"Lin Zhen, you better let my people capture you and obediently face death, or don't blame me for breaking the rules."

Inside the Ancient God City, another pursuer squad arrived at Adams' location.

This team was on a mission to support Adams. Moreover, there was another squad coming. Apart from the squad led by Allen who had already run to the South Pole, there was only one squad guarding the entrance.

The leader of this team was a War God called Rost from the United States and a high-ranking member of the Star List.

Seeing Adams, Rost couldn't help but feel envious and said: "Brother Adams, you've truly gained a lot of fame this time, perhaps I'll have to address you as

'Chief Judge' in the future."

"Haha, Rost, don't say that. Even if I become Chief Judge, we are still brothers.

That won't change."

"Brother, as you say so, I thank you in advance. I hope Judge Adams will continue to support me in future."

"Hehe, certainly, certainly. I wonder how Baggio's team is doing? Once his team arrives, we can take this Spatial Cage away."

"I think it's almost time. Maximum two more hours and they should arrive. As you know, you can't fly in the second layer of Ancient God City, so rushing on foot can't be too fast.

Adams nodded, watching the Spatial Cage in the sky with excitement in his heart.

Finally, Lin Zhen has been captured, which is a big deal. It is said that to capture Lin Zhen, even the Pope's teacher, Laricus had to take action. But in the end, it was him, Adams, who accomplished it. Certainly, many people would be envious of him.

Once he became Chief Judge, he would be the second most powerful person in the Gods Clan.

Although there was still the Pope and the Queen above the Chief Judge, Adams knew that the future Queen would be Su Mingyue, a woman worth competing for by all the men in the world.

Su Mingyue was a gentle and pure woman. Even when she becomes the Queen, she won't care about power.

And Pope Yan Huang was pursuing supreme martial arts. Although he had supreme power, he wouldn't bother with minor affairs. Even if he did have time, he would rather enjoy the company of such a beautiful woman like Su Mingyue than deal with these trivial matters.

So in some respects, as Chief Judge, he should be the most powerful man in the Gods Clan.

In the excitement of this thought, Adams couldn't help but stand up, eight hours since Lin Zhen had been locked up, and Baggio and Allen's teams hadn't arrived yet, but Lin Zhen had finally emerged in this Spatial Cage!

Seeing Lin Zhen's figure, Adams excitedly stood up.

"Lin Zhen appears! He appears, he was truly here, quickly capture this!"

Even though Arthur had guaranteed before, Adams was still unsure because he never saw Lin Zhen. But now he was finally relieved.

Someone was filming this, and just then, Baggio's team also arrived.

The reason they were waiting for Baggio's team was that it required at least four people in the Star Realm to move the Spatial Cage. Now there were exactly four of them, with Baggio and Rost, as well as two other Star Realm warriors. As the top contributor, Adams naturally wouldn't do such strenuous and dirty work since he was about to become the chief judge after all.

"Quick! Start moving and make sure to transport Lin Zhen back to Constantinople."

Baggio and Rost didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. The four of them mobilized their Star Power to stabilize this Spatial Cage and began to move towards the first layer.

Of course, this process was extremely slow, moving forward at a snail's pace.

Lin Zhen was extremely grateful that his preparation this time was relatively adequate.

Around a thousand S-level crystals, as well as four hundred quasi-SS class crystals, had all been absorbed by his Dantian.

Moreover, his one hundred and fifty Dark Energy Stones were also exhausted in this unprecedented breakthrough.

When the last of the one hundred and fifty Dark Energy Stones was absorbed, a change finally occurred within his Dantian.

A heavenly light seemed to break through the space and fall into Lin Zhen's

Dantian.

The Dantian Qi was like a rolling sea of clouds. The heavenly light painted a layer of golden dawn on the sea of clouds, which kept turning, creating waves and destroying clouds, providing a perfect portrayal of Lin Zhen's Dantian.

Threads of Dantian Qi ceased to expand outwards. Looking with his spiritual power, he surprisingly couldn't see where the boundary of the Dantian Qi was.

His power was like a surging tide, coursing through his body.

"That heavenly light is the prelude to the arrival of Star Power. This rotating Dantian Qi tide is the precursor to condensing the Star Core."

"I've been reincarnated back here for over four years now. I am now 21 and have finally reached the Quasi-Star Realm!"

"Currently, my Dantian Qi is at the Quasi-Star Realm, and my Dark Star is actually at the Quasi-Star Realm as well, just that they operate separately in different spaces."

"Once my Dantian Qi solidifies into the Star Core, it will become my main Star, and the Dark Star will be my auxiliary star. One day, I will surely be able to solidify two Star Cores – one main and one dark."

Silently sensing the Dantian Qi wandering around his body, seeing the giant cyclone within his Dantian that was a hundred times larger than in his past life, and looking at the ray of heavenly light, Lin Zhen felt as if a new world was about to form within his Dantian.

In his previous life, he had also been promoted to the Star Realm and had mastered Star Power. If he were to compare his past power with his current one, Lin Zhen believed that his current Quasi-Star Realm power could completely blow away his early Star Core stage from his past life.

The Dark Star hovered above the Dantian. Since it lacked the crystal of earth element, the Dark Star couldn't really condense the Star Core yet; it had only gathered countless energies into a cluster, forming the shape of a planet.

His hand moved slightly, and a ball of energy flashed across his palm.

Lin Zhen saw Adams leading people working hard to shift this Spatial Cage, but he didn't try to break it at this moment.

This Spatial Cage wasn't so easily breakable. Even though Lin Zhen had just advanced to the Quasi-Star Realm, he was still not confident.

Although this Spatial Cage had a weak spot, Lin Zhen knew that if he failed, it would definitely attract more experts from the Gods Clan. Once he made a move, he had to break it.

The only feasible strategy was to use the Spatial Secret Skill.

For now, Lin Zhen didn't want to leave the Ancient God City. Based on the speed of these people, it would take about two more hours to leave the second layer, and he had to break this Spatial Cage within those two hours.

Having just broken through, Lin Zhen was filled with overflowing power. He was very eager for a fight.

After his promotion, he wanted to test out the strength of the Star List warriors.

However, separated by this Spatial Cage, others outside couldn't discern his situation, nor did he alert anyone. He released his Spiritual Power that landed on the Spatial Cage.

"Spatial techniques are an extremely advanced battle strategy with a wide range of applications."

"Spatial power can teleport, evade, and even create wormholes in the stars,

demonstrating the high intensity of Spatial Power. Entering from this end of

the wormhole, one can instantly appear at a place tens of thousands of light-years away."

"Those that can actually cause damage in real battles include Spatial Cutting, Spatial Collapse, Space-Time Storm, etc."

"I can't learn the deeper Spatial Techniques yet, but I can give Spatial Cutting a try."

The so-called Spatial Cutting refers to the overlap of two spaces, and under the overlap of these two spaces, it creates the sharpest blade in the world! Yes, a blade! The power of the overlap between space and space cannot be resisted by any object in the world, as it can practically cut through everything.

Lin Zhen had been considering the possibility of this. His Dantian was made up of two spaces, both of which originated within his body. He couldn't possibly use Spatial Cutting within his own body, and previously, the imbalance between the main Star and Dark Star made cultivation difficult. Now that he had advanced to the Quasi-Star Realm, this difficulty no longer existed.

Taking a deep breath, the Quasi-Star Realm main Star and Dark Star forces appeared simultaneously.

The continuously overlapping spaces had already taken shape..

Translator: 549690339

Space cutting is by no means an easy thing, Lin Zhen's research also analyzed based on some things in his previous life and attempted in combination with his own situation.

To cut space, one must first master the power of two spaces, and then interlock them in another space instantaneously.

Lin Zhen owns two spaces, which is the power of the Nested Life Dark Nether

Stone.

He slowly circulated his energy, allowing the power of the Dantian Qi and Dark Star to be slowly released.

"The reason why I couldn't do this before is because the energies of the Dantian Qi and Dark Star weren't balanced. The Dark Star was at the preparatory stage of the Star Realm, and the Dantian Qi, which is the Main Star was at the peak of level nine. Trying to master these unbalanced energies was too difficult. But now that both the Main Star and Dark Star have reached the pre-Star Realm level, it's a perfect time to attempt it."

Under Lin Zhen's control, the two powers began to gradually intertwine and merge.

The integration of power was rolling…

"Break! "

A thought flashed in Lin Zhen's mind, and the two spaces were instantaneously intermingled and then separated.

In his foldable space, there was no fluctuation at all. It was a failure.

Lin Zhen was not impatient, he knew why he failed. Firstly, he was too slow, secondly, he wasn't proficient, and thirdly, this spatial cage was quite stable. Wanting to easily cut it with space power was quite unlikely.

Having failed the first attempt, Lin Zhen began his second one.

He had planned through the previous steps countless times, create a space, merge it, then suddenly separate it. Both sides of the force application points should be concentrated within a thousandth of a second.

A thousandth of a second is a watershed, even in the battle within the Star Realm, a time less than a thousandth of a second is almost negligible, but if it exceeded this time, then it would be dangerous.

As long as Lin Zhen could complete the space interlock within a thousandth of a second, theoretically, he would be able to perform space cutting.

With countless repetitive attempts, Lin Zhen already had the basic conditions for advancement, it was very likely for him to succeed.

Half an hour later, Lin Zhen managed to complete it within five hundredths of a second.

An hour later, he managed to do it in nine hundredths of a second.

The four people below were still transporting this spatial cage with the Star Power, taking one step at a time.

Adams took a few experts at the pre-Star Realm level with him. Whenever a mutated beast appeared on the way, they were responsible for killing it.

Gradually, black rocks began appearing on the ground in front of them.

Once they passed this area of black rock, they would reach the central area of the second layer of this planet.

Once they reached the central area, they would be close to the entrance to the first layer.

Lin Zhen was oblivious to all of this. At this moment, he was completely engrossed in the joy of cultivation.

An hour and twenty minutes later, the moment he once again fused the powers of the two spaces, and then instantly separated them, he clearly saw a black spatial crack appearing and then disappearing instantly thirty centimeters in front of him!

"I did it!"

Lin Zhen's eyes snapped open, the excitement in his heart was simply indescribable!

The main star power at the pre-Star Realm level and the Dark Star power at the pre-Star Realm level, these two powers had finally performed space cutting!

He finally mastered this super battle skill in combat!

A flash of diamond-like brilliance in his eyes, which made people inexplicably palpitate!

Below, just after casually killing a mutated fire rat, Adams happened to see Lin Zhen opening his eyes.

Although somewhat wary of Lin Zhen's spiritual power, Adams couldn't help but sneer and taunt Lin Zhen at this moment.

"Hahaha, Lin Zhen, oh Lin Zhen, why aren't you being arrogant now? When you were bragging and babbling outside, blatantly criticizing our Gods Clan, where is your power and vigor now?

"If you ask me, you really don't know what's good for you. The establishment of our Gods Clan, how grand is it? His Holiness the Pope reigns over the world, how domineering is he! And a person like you actually dares to oppose our Gods Clan. I mean, if you won't die, who would?"

Baggio also chimed in: "Exactly, Lin Zhen, you seemed to have overestimated your abilities. Although you are a genius, at most you are at the peak of Level Nine War God, not to mention confronting His Holiness the Pope. You're not even a match for any of us on the Star List."

Rost also laughed: "People always say that Hua Xia people are good at modesty, but why can't I see it in you, Lin Zhen? With such an outcome, who can you blame?"

Lin Zhen did not speak, but closed his eyes again. He needed to continue trying. The following tasks were much simpler. He just needed to guide the two space powers with his spiritual power and attempt to extend the projection as far as he could.

After all, a 30cm space cut in front of him wasn't particularly helpful in battle.

This spatial cage had a diameter of about five meters. If he could lean back and create a space cut about four meters away, it would be incredibly useful for combat.

Seeing Lin Zhen silent, the others below gloated even more. Adams chuckled,"Lin Zhen, in recognition of your genius, I, Adams, offer you leniency

as the future Chief Judge of our court. Do you have any last words or requests? Speak now. If I can grant your wish, I will try my best to do so."

Upon hearing Adams' words, Baggio and Rost immediately started brown-nosing.

"You hear that, Lin Zhen? If you have any last words, say them now. There's no going back after this."

"That's right, the Judge is showing mercy. Do you realize the status of the Chief Judge? He's second only to His Holiness the Pope, the future second most powerful person in the world."

"But… the Queen should be next in line, right?"

"Don't bring up the Queen. Su Mingyue is Lin Zhen's girlfriend and look at him now, trapped in this cage. Do you want to rub salt into his wounds?"

Baggio laughed and turned to Adams, "Chief Judge, His Holiness has taken Su Mingyue as his wife, perhaps you should find a lady of similar status. With your noble status, it's only fitting."

Adams waved his hand and laughed, "I'd love to, but Su Mingyue is one of a kind. Where would I find another woman of her caliber?"

At this point, Rost's eyes lit up, "Hey! If there's another woman who can compare to Su Mingyue, she'd be slightly fierier, not as gentle and lovely as Su

Mingyue. No ordinary man could subdue her."

"Who is that?" Adams' eyes sparkled with interest.

"Ironically, it's the girlfriend of our captive in the cage. The young lady of the world's top financial group, the An family, An Ning. Her beauty matches Su Mingyue's, plus she brings the wealth of the top financial group. If Chief Judge were to marry her, wouldn't that be perfect?"

Adams grew more excited as he heard this, "You reminded me, An Ning is truly splendid. She disguised as Chris and stayed in the European Union for several years. Her ability is not weak, and her family is incredibly wealthy. Marrying her would be a win-win."

"Haha, it sounds like a deal. His Holiness marries Su Mingyue, and the Chief Judge marries An Ning. It's a rare happy ending in this world. Well, except for

Lin Zhen."

Baggio looked at Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, you are indeed unfortunate. However, heed my advice and accept the inevitable. If you have any requests, speak now. Considering you contributed two beautiful ladies to our Gods Clan, as long as your request isn't too outrageous, the Chief Judge might grant it."

The anticipatory saliva pooled in their mouths as they continued fantasizing. They didn't really expect Lin Zhen to reply, but then Lin Zhen suddenly spoke. "My request is for all of you to die. Can you promise me that?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, Adams' face changed, "You ungrateful bastard! I'm in a good mood today and wanted to grant you a final wish, yet you reject my kindness. No more requests. I'm not only going to deny all your requests, I'm going to make your death extremely painful!"

Adams darkly said, "Lin Zhen, I promise you, by this time next year, An Ning will give birth to our child. Maybe I'll visit your grave and tell you if it's a boy or a girl. I'll make sure you can't rest in peace in hell!"

Lin Zhen slightly closed his eyes, shifted a bit backward, and with a thought, a black space rift appeared about three meters away.

Success was near. He had found the weakness of the spatial cage and mastered the method of space cut. A few more attempts and he could escape. At this moment, they had arrived at the central part of the planet, close to the exit leading to the first layer.

A scout who was on the verge of reaching the Star Realm rushed towards them from the exit, "Lord Adams, I have broadcasted the video of Lin Zhen's capture to the outside world. Countless media outlets and viewers outside the entrance to Ancient God City are waiting to see Lin Zhen's capture. Even His Holiness has personally waited at the entrance."

Adams burst into a hearty laugh, "His Holiness does hold significance. Go and report to him that we're about to leave the second level. Once we reach the first level, we can fly. It won't take us more than three minutes to leave the Ancient God City. Ask His Holiness to wait for our good news."

"Yes, sir. I'll pass on the message immediately."

The scout was good at flattery, sweet-talking Adams into a happy mood. The prospect of becoming the Chief Judge, second only to the Pope, filled him with excitement.

"You sly little thing. You know how to say the right things. Don't worry, there will be rewards for you in the future. Now get lost."

The scout left to report back to the Pope as Adams and his team leisurely arrived at the entrance to the first level.

"Whew! The snail-paced journey is about to end. We fly straight out of the second level."

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, having contributed to the mission while Allen's team was still heading to the South.

Adams looked back at Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, are you ready to… What?!"

His sentence got caught in his throat when he saw a black space rift appear on the edge of the Void Stone!

"Crack! "

The incredibly sturdy spatial cage had a crack as if it was an eggshell being broken.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

As the cracks spread like a spider web, a burst of electrostatic energy erupted from Lin Zhen, sending the shards of the Void Stone flying. The others backed off in a flustered, embarrassing retreat.

At that moment, Adams was reminded of an ancient myth from Hua Xia. It told of a man named Pangu who emerged from a broken eggshell.. Wasn't this that exact situation?

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Massacre in All Directions, Rising to Star List

Translator: 549690339

"Not good! This kid is out!"

"What's the panic, the three of us on the Star List and the two Star Realm experts can't handle him?!"

Adams and the others felt it was unbelievable, but they didn't take Lin Zhen too seriously.

Adams regretted a little in his heart, he should have waited for another two days until Arthur's Void Stone was ready.

But he absolutely refused to allow Lin Zhen to escape, he couldn't lose his position as the judge!

"Attack! Together, let's kill him!"

Following Adams' roar, five Star Realm Experts launched a surprise attack from all directions.

Lin Zhen broke the Void Stone with a spatial slash, and immediately felt a sense of freedom.

His dantian surged all over his body, after breaking through, he felt a sense of relief. His Seven Kills spear in his hand shook: "When you were talking so joyously just now, did you ever think of this moment!"

"Thunder…Kill!"

An energy ball enveloped his spear as soon as he appeared, a beam of electricity released, Lin Zhen grabbed the spear, and swung it violently!

Unlike the previous simple energy beam, this time Thunder Kill was turned by Lin Zhen into a whip and viciously whipped around!

There were thirteen people in the area, including five Star Realm experts, and eight quasi-Star Realm experts from three teams.

One of the quasi-Star Realm experts had gone back to report the news.

All thirteen people were vaporized by Lin Zhen's Thunder Kill, and no one dared to stop it.

The dazzling electric light flew like a life-stealing blade, including Adams's three Star List experts who felt the horror of this attack. "This kid has advanced, quick, take cover! "

The three Star List experts dodged this attack in time.

Among the two Star Realm experts, one dodged in a tumbling manner, while the other failed to dodge in time.

Eight quasi-Star Realm experts along with this Star Realm expert were vaporized instantly by Lin Zhen's Thunder Kill!

Not blown up, but vaporized!

Lin Zhen successfully attacked and his momentum skyrocketed. Without any hesitation, he waved the spear in his hand and stabbed Overturning River at the quasi-Star Realm expert who couldn't get up in time: "You stay here!"

With a tragic scream, the Star Realm expert was lifted into the air, with countless spear lights flashing around him. One after another, bursts of energy pierced his body, blood splattered in the air like a sprinkler, and by the time his shattered body fell to the ground, he was completely dead.

Thirteen people, and in an instant, only three were left!

Adams and the other two Star List experts stared with bloodshot eyes, and Rost, who was closest to Lin Zhen, pounced first: "Lin Zhen, don't be arrogant, even if you've advanced, you're still no match for the Star List!"

Lin Zhen turned his head and pointed at the approaching Rost: "Stop!"

Rost sneered with a ferocious grin, his sword stabbing viciously at Lin Zhen. Why would he stop? Now that Lin Zhen had escaped from the cage, Adams's position as the judge was out of the picture, and whoever killed Lin Zhen would become the judge.

Stopping would only hand the initiative to Adams and Baggio, Rost was not that dumb, he also wanted to compete for the judge's position.

Adams and Baggio also saw Rost's intentions, they too wanted to compete now, Lin Zhen was a piece of cake, whoever took a bite would have it.

Lin Zhen pointed at Rost, hooked the corner of his mouth, and activated his mental power, spatial slash!

A black spatial rift appeared five centimeters in front of Rost's neck. Rost was charging too fast, even if he saw the spatial rift, he couldn't react in time and simply rushed through it.

At the moment of passing through the spatial rift, his head and body were separated by a space.

Separated by space, there was only one outcome.

Adams and Baggio saw Rost's body still wielding his sword, staggering a few steps forward.

His head, separated by a spatial rift, fell into the dust.

His mouth was still open, still maintaining the posture of his previous scream, as if he hadn't realized his own death.

His body, by inertia, ran to the front of Lin Zhen, then his feet gradually softened, and finally, he fell to the dust with a thud!

Star List expert, dead!

And died in such a baffling manner!

Adams and Baggio forcibly stopped their footsteps, looked at Rost's bisected corpse on the ground, and stared at Lin Zhen with terror in their eyes.

"You… you… how did you do it?"

"What do you think?" Lin Zhen sneered, shaking the Seven Kills spear in his hand, and myriads of cold light poured down!

Adams screamed and turned to run!

Although he was a Star List expert, Rost's death truly shocked him, a Star List expert died in such an unclear manner, he didn't want to be the second confused ghost.

Seeing Adams running, Baggio, who had been wanting to fight Lin Zhen, also backed off.

Lin Zhen was too fierce, killing as soon as he came out, successively killing eight quasi-Star Realm experts, two Star Realm experts and one Star List expert. He, a Star List expert, should not go to his death.

Both of them turned around one after another, heading for the exit together.

Lin Zhen couldn't let these two off the hook. The conversation they had just had was etched in his heart, and these people had to die.

First, Lin Zhen raised his hand and let Xiao Nuan out, preparing to clean and collect the battlefield while he chased after the two men.

The entrance to the first level from the second one was not a spacious road.

Two people from the Star List squeezed over there almost simultaneously. Adams, who started first, was a little faster and used half a body's advantage to block Baggio behind.

At that delay, a fatal block happened.

Lin Zhen arrived, shaking his spear, and launched the Overturning River!

Baggio let out a strange cry and swung his sword to block, but at the moment, he was in a desperate battle and didn't want to tangle with Lin Zhen. In the end, he was at a disadvantage.

Lin Zhen's violent offensive lasted for five seconds, then suddenly slowed down.

Baggio saw the opportunity and turned to enter the entrance.

Or rather, only his lower half entered, as the bizarre spatial rift was waiting behind him, waiting for him to walk straight into the trap.

His waist and above, along with one arm, remained on the second level, while his lower half fell to the first level.

Lin Zhen snatched Baggio's ring and leaped down to the first level, determined not to let Adams go.

Upon arriving at the first level, he saw Adams had run several thousand meters and was still fleeing at high speed.

Lin Zhen sneered, and the Lightning Wings appeared behind him. During his two months on the second level, they had been nourished to quadruple the speed of sound, reaching over 1,300 meters per second. After teleporting, he chased Adams directly.

At the entrance of the Ancient God City, there was a sea of people gathered.

Just now, a borderline Star Realm man had come out, bringing with him new video footage.

In the video, Adams and others were using Star Power to lift the Spatial Cage and carry Lin Zhen out, as they were almost at the entrance to the first level.

Yan Huang was surrounded by believers of the Gods Clan, sporting a smile on his face.

He was initially worried that Lin Zhen wouldn't be transported out smoothly, but now that he saw this video, he was completely relieved.

The one in the Star Realm reported to Yan Huang: "According to Lord Adams, once they leave the second level, they can fly. As long as they reach the first level, they can get to the entrance within three minutes. Your Majesty will be able to see the captured Lin Zhen very soon."

Yan Huang smiled and nodded, "Very good. Adams has done a good job, and it seems our judge is about to appear."

"Hehe, congratulations, Your Majesty. You've finally taken care of Lin Zhen." "Lin Zhen will soon be executed, and everyone will be pleased!"

"I've said it before, Lin Zhen is just a jumping clown, and although he's been causing quite a stir, he's no match for our Gods Clan once we decide to strike."

"Your Majesty, I congratulate you on completing the unification of the Gods Clan, and your wedding is just around the corner. The glory ot our Clan is within reach!"

Gods Clan believers wrapped around, continuously praising Yan Huang.

Although he showed no expression on his face, he felt exceptionally pleased.

"What a pity, my Star Sky Crown is about to be refined, but Lin Zhen was caught so easily. I'm now short of an opponent."

The surrounding media constantly took photos, uploading countless images to the Internet.

Some unscrupulous journalists simply succumbed to the Gods Clan's influence, praising them in hot articles as soon as they saw Lin Zhen captured.

Apart from Hua Xia's media denouncing the Gods Clan for being unfair by ganging up on Lin Zhen, with such a large base against a single person, most other countries' media still praised the Gods Clan.

After all, the foundation of the Gods Clan remained. Although there were signs of decline at one point, defeating Lin Zhen would undoubtedly restore much of their reputation.

Gods Clan followers around the world ranted online, spouting profanities and shaming those who supported Lin Zhen.

In the midst of the celebrations, someone at the gate of Ancient God City shouted loudly: "I see Lord Adams! He's the first one to come out."

Yan Huang frowned slightly, feeling that Adams was too eager. Why didn't he bring Lin Zhen with him?

However, such a minor issue couldn't spoil Yan Huang's good mood. He laughed and said to the people around, "Let's go forward and meet our highly esteemed Lord Judge."

A group of Gods Clan high-ranking members moved forward with laughter.

At this moment, a Gods Clan elder from Sand Russia, also a Star List expert, suddenly rubbed his eyes and shouted.

"Not good! Lin Zhen … Lin Zhen … that Lin Zhen… !" Yan Huang was irritated, "What's wrong with Lin Zhen?"

"Your Majesty, it seems Lin Zhen has made it onto the Star List!"

"What?!"

Panicked, Yan Huang, who was also on the Star List, quickly checked for himself.

The Star List was located in the Spiritual Consciousness Sea. Yan Huang was a Dark Star List expert, but he could also view the Meteor Star List.

Upon opening the Meteor Star List, Yan Huang was shocked to see that the original list of 72 people had been reduced to 71, indicating that two people had died and automatically dropped off the list.

Yan Huang was alarmed and quickly found that the two people who died were Rost and Baggio.

Rost ranked at the bottom, while Baggio was ranked 66th, but now the 66th place was occupied by a name that made his teeth itch.

Lin Zhen!

Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Aliens in Action

Translator: 549690339

Everyone knew that Lin Zhen's situation was being watched by the whole world.

However, no one could have imagined that within the Ancient God City, there was someone watching Lin Zhen's situation through the internet.

This person was over two meters tall, with arms stronger than an average woman's waist, and incredibly bulging muscles all over his body; bald and with blood-red eyes, he looked like an agitated polar bear.

In front of the fourth-floor control console, Shu Mingxuan was satisfied with the person in front of him – this was Huo Luofu.

"Finally, the transformation of Huo Luofu is successful!"

"This feeling is amazing; my mental power can freely switch between two bodies."

Shu Mingxuan closed his eyes slightly, and Huo Luofu opened his eyes on the other side.

With a slight flex of his muscles, the veins on his body looked as terrifying as earthworms, showing the immense power contained within.

"Huo Luofu no longer exists in this world; now, this body is also Shu Mingxuan."

"Indeed, the Innate Power King's power is truly shocking. And after my transformation, his speed is no longer a weakness, and his realm has even broken through to the Late Star Core Stage."

"However, this body is a natural fighting machine. Although it's only at the Late Star Core Stage, it can easily crush an average Meteor Stage when it comes to real combat."

Shu Mingxuan controlled Huo Luofu's body, walking back and forth in front of the control console, trying to familiarize himself with the body.

Originally, according to his plan, he wanted to leave Ancient God City and go to the outside world to enjoy himself. He had been here for almost a thousand years, and he felt his body was about to rot.

The outside world was full of beautiful sights, good wine, delicious food, and women, all of which beckoned him.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Lin Zhen's situation through the control console's network connection.

"This kid, isn't it the first time he tried to control someone with a brain worm?

He's still alive, and it seems like he's doing pretty well."

"Forget about him. I still feel it's better to leave here. If I stay any longer, I feel like I'm going to go crazy."

However, before he could leave, an intense feeling of hatred suddenly erupted in his brain!

"Ah!… This is! This is Huo Luofu's thought!"

Shu Mingxuan's pupils dilated suddenly, and he clutched his head tightly: "This is impossible! How can this man have such an intense hatred? He is obviously dead, but I can still feel him hating. He hates Lin Zhen for ruining everything, he wants revenge…!!!"

Huo Luofu's body's eyes grew redder and redder, and his muscles trembled.

"What a damn guy, even though he's already dead, he can still do such a thing. But I can't stop it. If I take this hatred and force myself to leave, I'm afraid I won't have any fun outside either."

"Yesterday, I talked with Xin Ou and Tu Ya, they said it would take them two more months to get to Earth. The Empire's Expeditionary Army is also preparing to leave, and it will probably arrive in more than three years. My happy days are numbered."

"When the Empire's Army arrives, everything on Earth will be shattered. No one can stand against the Imperial Army. Even Xin Ou and Tu Ya can sweep the Earth's experts alone. At that time, I won't be able to do whatever I want."

"So, if I want to have fun, I have to get rid of Lin Zhen first."

Even though Xin Ou was very unwilling, he decided to fulfill Huo Luofu's last wish and get rid of Lin Zhen first. He estimated that Huo Luofu would then be completely gone.

He entered his captain's room, which had a secret passage that could lead to any floor without taking the paths others had to take. Huo Luofu had entered through this secret passage when he first came in.

"First floor, I'm coming now. Lin Zhen, cherish your last three minutes of life."

"Quickly, see if there's anyone chasing after Elder Adams!"

Yan Huang shouted, as Adams had already run close to the exit of Ancient God City.

But just when he had less than a kilometer remaining from the exit, Lin Zhen caught up with him.

Lin Zhen could be seen flapping a pair of huge wings behind him, shining brightly and very conspicuous. Swift as lightning, he ghostly entangled Adams. Adams tried his best to escape, but Lin Zhen was faster, trapping him so he couldn't get away.

Seeing that there were people near the entrance of Ancient God City, Adams risked getting hit by Lin Zhen's shot, hoping to escape. But just as he was about to flee, Xiao Nuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tripped him, biting off half of his leg in the process.

Afterward, Lin Zhen unleashed an Overturning River attack. Amidst the shocking waves, Adams' broken body fell to the ground in defeat!

Quite a few people witnessed this scene directly, and even those who couldn't watch it directly could see the live streaming through the phones of those recording at the entrance.

This scene left everyone speechless with shock.

How did Lin Zhen, who had just been captured and was about to be executed, manage to escape? And why was he chasing after Adams? Had he already taken care of the others?

Yan Huang felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head. He might have bitten Lin Zhen if he were in front of him at that moment.

The surrounding discussions were very harsh on the ears.

"My God, Lin Zhen is too strong, he can actually fight Adams head-on!"

"The fate of the others must be known by now, this Gods Clan really has no way to deal with Lin Zhen."

"Now that Lin Zhen is not captured this time, there's even less chance in the future. What a garbage Gods Clan, I'll never join."

"Hehe, I suddenly have a feeling that Lin Zhen might one day overthrow the

Gods Clan. Do you guys feel that way too?"

"You know, I have that feeling as well…"

Yan Huang knew that he could no longer sit back and watch the situation unfold.

Lin Zhen had actually killed three Star List members, ranking up to the 51st place.

Star List experts were not ordinary; with 18 people in the Heavenly Star List, 36 in the Dark Star List, and 72 in the Meteor Star List, there were only a total of 126 individuals worldwide.

Lin Zhen had just effortlessly eliminated three of them, and the Gods Clan could no longer afford such losses.

"That idiot Laricus took my Breaking Boundary Nail and the invisibility cloak, yet there's still no news from him. I don't even know where he went, or else I wouldn't have to do it myself now," Yan Huang cursed his teacher, but now, he had to take matters into his own hands.

Amidst the endless discussions of the people, Yan Huang suddenly took strides towards the Ancient God City.

"Your Majesty! Where are you going?"

"Your Majesty, don't go there. It's dangerous. Lin Zhen hasn't left yet." Quite a few believers from the Gods Clan tried to persuade him, but Yan Huang didn't pay them any attention.

"Get out of my way! As long as Lin Zhen remains, the Gods Clan will never have peace. I have run out of patience. It's time to settle this matter!"

As Yan Huang angrily charged forward, no one dared to obstruct him. Someone hurriedly ran to the Martial Artists Union's guard near the entrance and paid the 100 million fee. It was a rule that anyone entering the Ancient God City had to pay a fee.

Yan Huang's steps seemed small, but he moved very fast; in just a few strides, he had already penetrated deep into the Ancient God City by several hundred meters.

Lin Zhen had executed the Overturning River move to defeat Adams and obtain his ring. He saw a golden list in his Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

It was the Meteor Star List!

Lin Zhen hadn't seen the Meteor Star List in his previous life. It was a long golden list with a total of 72 names.

However, there were now no names at the 70th and 71st places, as Lin Zhen had killed three Star List experts. Even though he had entered the list, there were still two vacancies.

But this situation would not last long; as more people challenged the Star List, the winners would enter the list, while the losers would automatically fill the empty spots as long as the Star List had vacant positions.

After all, not all fights were life and death battles; sometimes, sparring matches also took place.

"Finally, I've entered the Star List. By advancing to the Pre-Star Realm and learning the Spatial Slash, my strength is now on par with most Meteor Star

List experts. I now have the qualifications to enter the third level of the Ancient God City."

"I have the Flame core in my possession now. Once I reach the third level and acquire an Earth element Planet Core, my Dark Star will be able to condense a Star Core."

Glancing at the crowd by the entrance, Lin Zhen was about to turn around and head back to the second level.

However, he saw a man approaching very slowly but at an incredibly fast speed.

"Yan Huang!"

Lin Zhen was momentarily stunned before smirking coldly. So, the Pope of the Gods Clan finally couldn't help but take action himself.

Lin Zhen first swept through the Meteor Star List but didn't find Yan Huang's name.

As the Holy Son and Pope, there was no way Yan Huang wouldn't be a Star List expert. Lin Zhen could also sense that Yan Huang's realm had reached the Meteor Stage.

That meant that Yan Huang was a Dark Star List expert!

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't choose to confront Yan Huang here, as the chances of winning were minuscule. But Lin Zhen was different.

One shouldn't back down immediately just because the opponent is powerful. Lin Zhen was curious to see the extent of Yan Huang's strength.

He stood still, allowing Xiao Nuan to proceed to the second level on her own, while he held the Seven Kills spear in his hand, waiting for Yan Huang's arrival.

In a few steps, Yan Huang arrived in front of Lin Zhen, his face seemingly covered in frost as he stared intently at Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, you have some nerve. You didn't even run when you saw me coming."

Lin Zhen smiled: "Yan Huang, you're even bolder. You still dare to come here after seeing me."

"You're ignorant of your own limitations. You think that just because you advanced to the Pre-Star Realm and defeated a few Meteor Star List members ranked lower, you have the strength to challenge me? You're too naive."

Yan Huang extended his hand, and a shimmering golden sword appeared. It was the Holy Light Set's sword.

Seeing Yan Huang draw his sword, Lin Zhen didn't say anything further. He wielded his Seven Kills spear horizontally and fluttered his Lightning Wings behind him.

Although neither of them spoke, their fighting intent surged. Everyone watching the live stream couldn't help but hold their breath at the overwhelming pressure coming their way.

Many people considered this battle the ultimate showdown between the Gods Clan and Lin Zhen.

If Yan Huang won, it would be unquestionable – Lin Zhen would certainly die, and the Gods Clan would never allow such a threat to exist in the world. The conflict would come to an end.

If Lin Zhen won, even if Yan Huang didn't die, the Gods Clan would have no choice but to accept further decline. It would likely fall into ruin, never recovering.

Thus, neither side could afford to lose this battle..

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Lin Zhen VS Pope

Translator: 549690339

At the entrance of the Ancient God City, people held their breath and watched the duel between Lin Zhen and Yan Huang.

Many people couldn't get through since the entrance was too small, so they watched the live broadcast online, taken by the people in the front.

If ratings were to be calculated, over ninety percent of the world's population were watching this live broadcast at this time.

Every Base City, every corner, every family, people were staring at the screen.

No matter what they were doing, or what they were occupied with, they couldn't help but put their tasks aside at this moment.

Drivers on the highways stopped their cars on the side of the road and watched the live broadcast; there were hardly any vehicles in motion on the highways.

Women cooking at home also put down their frying spatulas, even if their dishes got burnt, they had no mood to take a glance at them.

Even many intimate activities came to a stop; at this time, no one was in the mood for such things.

On the streets and alleys, the big screens left behind from the War God's Knockout were used again. Over a billion pairs of eyes were fixed on these two people, and no one took the initiative to speak.

The world seemed to fall silent at this moment.

Lin Zhen's hands clenched the spear handle of the Seven Kills Spear, his expression serious.

Without a doubt, this would be the most challenging battle he had ever faced: a borderline Star Realm against Yan Huang's peak of the Meteor Middle Stage.

Though Lin Zhen was certainly capable of challenging opponents of a higher level, he had always done so. With his current strength, he wouldn't even fear an average opponent on the Star List. However, Yan Huang was different.

Yan Huang was definitely an expert who could challenge those at higher levels!

For example, among the War Gods, there were both ordinary and Elite War Gods; Yan Huang was definitely an elite among Star Realm Warriors.

The elite of elites!

However, Lin Zhen still had to fight. The whole world was watching, and he could not back down at this moment. Regardless of the outcome, Lin Zhen dared to try.

If the Pope's faction is the Heaven, then I will pierce a hole in Heaven!

Yan Huang gently waved the sword in his hand, "Lin Zhen, this is the Holy

Light set's sword; do you know about the Holy Light set?"

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, "Just a dead object."

"You're mistaken. Before your death, I will tell you that there are seven pieces

in the Holy Light set. Apart from the sword and shield, the other five pieces are armor. But in battles, I have only ever used this sword. Do you know why?"

"Because you're a pig."

A hint of anger flashed through Yan Huang's eyes, "Don't bite the hand that feeds! That's because no one was worthy of making me use the shield or put on the armor. Lin Zhen, you're no exception; with just this sword, I can take your life!"

"You can't do it. You must use your shield, " Lin Zhen shook his head slightly.

Yan Huang sneered disdainfully but did not keep arguing. He held his sword lightly, performing an opening stance.

Lin Zhen also firmly gripped his Seven Kills Spear with both hands, knowing that Yan Huang was about to make his move.

In the sky of the first layer, a Winged Dragon flew over the heads of the two men. It saw two prey on the ground, let out a strange cry, and swooped down from the air.

This cry was like the gunshot on a starting line.

The next moment, both men moved simultaneously!

Yan Huang rushed forward, leaving a trail of afterimages. The wind around his body howled, Light Power burst forth, and in a fraction of a second, he covered dozens of meters, brandishing his sword with dazzling white light, hurtling forward!

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, took a slight step back, bent his waist, and crouched. He swung his Seven Kills Spear left and right, instantly setting up layers of light curtains in front of him!

Defense counterattack, immovable like a mountain!

"Lin Zhen! Accept your death!"

Yan Huang's sword fell, Light Power erupted from his body like a red sun suspended in the sky. Sword Light shot down!

Lin Zhen had used Light Power to dazzle the opponent's eyes many times before, but obviously, Yan Huang's Light Power was even stronger!

This man had already resonated with Light Quantum!

Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly. As a Diamond Level Spiritual Mind Master, he had strong mental power and could sense everything around him without using his eyes.

"Ha…Go!"

After a "buzz" sound, a burst of light exploded from above the wilderness. A series of clashing sounds followed!

Yan Huang's sword descended as Lin Zhen's spear blocked it. Neither Lin Zhen nor Yan Huang retreated. The sword, being a shorter weapon, was more suitable for close combat. Yan Huang intended to kill Lin Zhen in close quarters.

Fast Sword!

At this moment, Yan Huang showed Lin Zhen what it meant to have a sword technique as fast as lightning. The opponent's sword was like a venomous snake, no, like millions of venomous snakes, stabbing from all unimaginable angles, each strike aiming for Lin Zhen's vital spots.

Layers of light curtains were broken through, while waves of Sword Light were intercepted. Lin Zhen was completely focused, with no distractions. Relying on his sensitive Spiritual Power, within three seconds, he blocked Yan Huangs attacks thousands of times!

"Lin Zhen, although your defense is good, today I'll teach you a lesson that offense is the best defense, and your combat skills won't save you!"

"Swish swish swish!"

Several lightning-fast swords stabbed at Lin Zhen's face, throat, chest, and lower abdomen.

Lin Zhen's spear moved quickly to block the attacks.

As the sword aimed at his lower abdomen approached, Lin Zhen suddenly had a strange feeling that the opponent's sword had slowed down.

Lin Zhen also slowed down slightly with the opponent's sword, but Yan Huang suddenly accelerated!

"Pfft!"

With one sword strike, blood splattered!

"This… Yan Huang can actually change the speed of his sword in such an intense battle!"

Lin Zhen's pupils momentarily enlarged as the top-quality star artifact skirt armor below his waist couldn't withstand Yan Huang's sacred sword, and his lower abdomen was injured.

"Hahahaha! Lin Zhen, die!"

When Yan Huang succeeded with one attack, his battle tactics suddenly changed. Each sword was like a venomous snake swallowing its tail, unpredictable in speed, making it difficult for Lin Zhen to defend against.

In the following battle, Yan Huang demonstrated his advantage. Lin Zhen was struggling to adapt to this strange sword skill, and several wounds quickly appeared on his body.

Fortunately, the sacred armor protected him, preventing his vital parts from being easily injured.

However, Lin Zhen was never the type to passively take a beating. While the Immoveable Like a Mountain defense was formidable, it wasn't very effective against Yan Huang's strange sword skills, so Lin Zhen changed tactics.

As the opponent's fast sword approached again, Lin Zhen gave up on defending and let his spear create multiple Storms of energy, while his six Seven Stars Knives simultaneously flew into the sky. Elemental energy filled the entire arena, and Lin Zhen launched a counterattack on Yan Huang with overwhelming momentum.

After one minute of intense fighting, Lin Zhen, relying on his spear skills and six flying knives, was actually able to compete with Yan Huang. Although he appeared to be at a disadvantage, his fighting spirit was still high.

Yan Huang seemed to be effortlessly attacking Lin Zhen, but inwardly, he was immensely shocked.

Lin Zhen's speed, strength, spear mastery, and powerful spiritual power all had a tremendous impact on him. With his peak Meteor Middle Stage realm, it was surprising that after a minute of fighting, he couldn't defeat a Star Realm Fighter like Lin Zhen. In reality, he had already lost.

Many people outside were cheering for Yan Huang's victory, but in the eyes of those experts, Lin Zhen's performance had actually surpassed him.

Those six flying knives were incredibly annoying, and Yan Huang had to focus on defending against each one. The powerful elemental energy contained in the knives couldn't be ignored, which prevented him from fully committing to the offense.

"Should I take out my shield?"

As the thought crossed his mind, Yan Huang immediately rejected it. He had just claimed that one sword would be enough to deal with Lin Zhen, taking out a shield now would be like slapping his own face; it was absolutely unacceptable.

"It seems that I must use some more methods."

Yan Huang knew that he couldn't drag the fight any longer and had to show his true strength to defeat Lin Zhen as quickly as possible.

He urged the Light Quantum power in his body to its limit. The sky full of Sword Light rain instantly gathered and morphed into a streak of light, the myriad swords merging into one. Fusing sword and man, he charged out, instantly breaking Lin Zhen's Storm spear energy, scattering the six flying knives and aiming straight for Lin Zhen's chest!

Lin Zhen's heart sank; he knew that Yan Huang, who had already comprehended the atomic power, was not his match. But he couldn't just give up like this.

In such close combat, the spear was more of a burden. Lin Zhen covered the spear with an energy ball and with a single-handed push, he suddenly thrust it out!

Yan Huang twisted his body in mid-air to avoid Lin Zhen's spear but also lost his momentum.

Lin Zhen's spear shot straight into a massive tree hundreds of meters away, penetrating three feet into it and leaving a small part visible.

"Lin Zhen, how will you fight me without your spear? Die!"

Yan Huang saw that Lin Zhen was weaponless and swung his sword at him once more, launching a series of feints and real strikes, aiming to add more wounds to Lin Zhen.

However, he didn't expect Lin Zhen to actually face his first attack head-on!

"Pfft!"

A huge wound suddenly appeared on Lin Zhen's shoulder, but it brought him right up beside Yan Huang. He reached out and grabbed Yan Huang in a bear hug!

Yan Huang struggled to break free, but Lin Zhen stepped on the Plum Blossom Piles and moved behind Yan Huang, passing both arms under his armpits and pinning him down tightly!

"Looking for death!"

Seeing the six flying knives coming straight at him, Yan Huang controlled his sword with mental power to knock Lin Zhen's knives away. He planned to attack Lin Zhen from behind with a flying sword, but Lin Zhen suddenly activated his Lightning Wings at maximum speed, hugging Yan Huang and slamming them both forward!

At four times the speed of sound, Lightning Wings propelled their bodies at high speed. Yan Huang's pupils instantly enlarged as he saw that a few hundred meters ahead was Lin Zhen's Seven Kills Spear!

The Seven Kills Spear embedded in the tree trunk, with a long and sharp tail exposed. Lin Zhen intended to crash into it while embracing Yan Huang!

"Idiot! Do you want to die together? Both of us will be impaled by this spear!"

"I, Lin Zhen, have only one miserable life, and it's worth it to die along with you, the Pope!"

In the blink of an eye, they covered the distance of several hundred meters, and the cold spear tip flashed, leaving everyone around stunned.. They all thought that the Pope would easily crush Lin Zhen, but how did he end up being forced into a situation where they might die together?

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Battle Between Dragons and Tigers

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen's speed with his Lightning Wings was too fast. Yan Huang barely had any time to react before he felt the sharpness of the Seven Kills Spear.

Although he did not believe that Lin Zhen would really sacrifice himself, he couldn't afford to gamble.

He was the Pope of the church, the man with the highest status in the world. He wouldn't give up his position even for the head of state. Unlimited power and wealth were waiting for him. How could he perish together with a brainless youngster like Lin Zhen?

Reluctantly, he took out the Holy Light Armor's shield.

The Holy Artifact Shield appeared and blocked him, and both of them collided violently with the Seven Kills Spear!

Crack!

The Star Artifact shear couldn't withstand the violent impact from the Holy

Artifact, and it broke!

However, Yan Huang also received a huge impact, feeling suffocated in his chest.

Lin Zhen, who was behind Yan Huang, used him as a cushion, so the impact wasn't as strong for him.

The two men's bodies shook. Yan Huang's rage shot through the roof, his Star Power exploding. The formidable power of the Meteor Middle Stage was displayed instantly, breaking free of Lin Zhen's restraint.

"Get lost! "

He threw the enormous Holy Artifact Shield at Lin Zhen with tremendous force.

Lin Zhen was brushed by the shield, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.

However, as he fell, he suddenly swept his leg out, aiming straight at Yan Huang's face!

Yan Huang never expected that Lin Zhen would have such an incredible level of flexibility. Coupled with the fact that his chest was still heaving from the collision with the shield, he saw everything go black before his eyes.

"Bang!"

He was kicked by Lin Zhen and fell, only to stab at Lin Zhen's thigh with his sword as he went down, showing the prowess of a super expert.

As the sword pierced him, Lin Zhen's ankle hurt. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen used liquid metal to form a long spear that pierced through Yan Huang's ankle!

Both men, now on the ground, rolled and retreated simultaneously, not giving each other a chance to attack.

The crowd gaped, watching the battle between the two men. No one had expected Lin Zhen to push Yan Huang this far.

Especially those who were familiar with the fighting prowess of the Star Realm. They knew the huge gap between a Meteor Middle Stage and a Quasi-Star Realm, which was akin to the gap between heaven and earth.

Although Lin Zhen seemed to be losing, he had already won.

From the moment Yan Huang took out his shield, Lin Zhen had won. Yan Huang had boasted that he could defeat Lin Zhen with just a single sword, but he failed to do so.

Yan Huang's ankle shone with light as he used his Light Power to heal his injury. He was as proficient in Light Power as Lin Zhen, so healing was simple for him.

With a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, Yan Huang's face turned purple with anger, his eyes burning with rage.

"Lin Zhen, I never thought you'd be able to push me this far."

"There are many more surprises waiting for you in the future."

Yan Huang roared in anger and charged forward again, despite his bleeding ankle. He swung his sword horizontally!

Lin Zhen didn't have a chance to get up, but he still had one last trick up his sleeve.

Space Cut!

A black space fissure appeared abruptly in front of Yan Huang. It was so sudden and startling!

At that moment, Yan Huang felt his scalp tingling. In an instant of life or death, he decisively threw away his shield and sword, retracted his arms, and barely dodged the Space Cut!

Dodging that, Lin Zhen suddenly appeared before him, waved his hand, and a combination of light, electricity, ice, and fire energy blasted out in a ball: 'Yan Huang! Take this!"

Unable to control his momentum, Yan Huang could only release a burst of Light Power with one hand to counter Lin Zhen's elemental energy!

Yan Huang's Light Power had resonated with atoms, but Lin Zhen's elemental energy won in terms of quantity.

Two energy balls collided, and a 10 -meter-thick Energy Column shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds, making it difficult for onlookers to keep their eyes open.

Their bodies intertwined, and Yan Huang's speed was still slightly faster. In this situation, he managed to grab Lin Zhen's neck with one hand.

With immense strength, his eyes turned bloodshot as he aimed to strangle Lin Zhen to death!

Lin Zhen gritted his teeth. The liquid metal around his waist turned into a rope and instantly ensnared Yan Huang's neck, while Lin Zhen pulled it hard!

With both men falling and relying on each other to stay up, Yan Huang held Lin Zhen's neck from behind while Lin Zhen pulled the liquid metal rope from the front, also choking Yan Huang.

"Creak! "

The sound of bones creaking was somewhat ear-piercing, leaving the distant spectators dumbstruck.

If the first time the two of them almost perished together was due to Lin Zhen using his means, what about this time? Lin Zhen could actually compete with Yan Huang evenly, were they trying to strangle each other to death?

The strength of Lin Zhen made the people of Gods Clan heart in splinters, they were all praying quietly that Yan Huang could win, as they couldn't afford to lose in this battle.

Including those who were watching over the network, they were all cheering for the person they supported. According to later statistics, the number of supporters for both sides had reached a balance at this moment!

Lin Zhen's actions had already had a huge impact on the world, and slowly began to ferment and grow.

Both of them were Spiritual Mind Masters, both with Diamond Middle Stage spiritual power. At this moment of life and death, their spiritual power was uncontrollable and overflowing. Although they had no more ability to drive flying Imives, their long hair danced wildly, and their hair was even entangled together, trying their best to entangle each other to death.

Lin Zhen only felt a series of suffocating sensations coming, under this circumstance, Dantian burst, spiritual power burst, physical strength burst, even inhaling was impossible, the ability of martial artists was restored to the most basic state of humans, relying on the mouth and nose, lungs breathing.

As his hair grew dizzy and heavy, the only thing he could do was to tighten the liquid metal more and more. If he wanted to live, he had to strangle his opponent before dying!

Although Lin Zhen didn't want to die, he dared to take a gamble with Yan Huang.

Yan Huang was in the same state as Lin Zhen, with the liquid metal turning into a rope that was almost breaking his neck.

He believed that he might be able to strangle Lin Zhen, but the strength of the liquid metal was also not small. Perhaps the bigger chance was that both of them would cling to each other until the end and eventually die together on the wasteland of Ancient God City.

At this moment, Yan Huang's heart was filled with immense regrets. He regretted his overconfidence. If he had used the full set of Holy Light armor at the beginning, if he had pushed the Light Power to the limit, if he had tried all his hidden techniques from the beginning, maybe the result would have been different.

He really shouldn't have taken risks or waited until the Star Sky Crown was refined before dealing with Lin Zhen as the best choice.

He was the Pope of the Church, how could he die in the hands of Lin Zhen, a kid who hadn't even reached the Star Realm? He was unwilling…

But at this moment, it was too late. He felt that he was about to die, the only thing he could do was to tighten his arms as much as possible and strangle Lin Zhen to death…

"Save His Majesty quickly!"

A member of the Church shouted unknowingly, and a group of experts from

the Church tried to rush into the Ancient God City.

But a golden-robed elder suddenly stopped in front of them: "Nobody can interfere with Lin Zhen and Yan Huang's battle, it's their business!"

"You… Elder Gongsun Du, when did you arrive?"

"Elder Gongsun, have you forgotten that you are a member of the Church? How can you help Lin Zhen?"

"Traitor! By doing this, you are betraying the Church; have you thought it through?"

Gongsun Du stood in front of the crowd: 'Yes, I am an elder of the Gods Clan, but at the same time, I am also a Hua Xia person. If I didn't have the identity of an elder of Gods Clan, I would have rushed over to give Yan Huang a heavy blow, ending him completely. What I'm doing isn't helping Lin Zhen, but rather not helping either side."

One of the elders tried to rush forward, but Gongsun Du waved his sleeve, and a single blow sent him flying away.

As an elder, Gongsun Du was a Meteor Stage expert, listed in the Dark Star List, and absolutely not an opponent ordinary elders could contend with.

It could be said that among the thirty golden-robed elders of Gods Clan, Gongsun Du was the strongest.

The other elders looked at each other, none of them daring to take a step across the line.

Not only were there people from Gods Clan here, but there were also martial artists from Hua Xia, many of whom admired and supported Lin Zhen. Seeing Gongsun Du block the people of Gods Clan, they immediately wanted to rush over and help Lin Zhen.

Gongsun Du's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his sleeves, a force of Star Power burst out, directly sending the Hua Xia martial artists flying away as well.

"Mr. Gongsun… why?"

"For no particular reason, not only am I a Hua Xia person, but I am also an elder of Gods Clan. As I said before, this is a battle between Yan Huang and Lin Zhen, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

"But Su Saintess is your disciple, and Lin Zhen and Su Saintess…"

"Don't say any more. Su Mingyue has already defected from Gods Clan. From now on, she is no longer my disciple."

Similarly, Gongsun Du also stopped several Hua Xia people who wanted to go and rescue Lin Zhen.

He knew all too well that if he dared to let Hua Xia people pass, the Church people would surely erupt, and there were more Church people here than Hua Xia, so the Hua Xia side would definitely not come out on top.

Therefore, the only thing he could do was help Lin Zhen in this seemingly fair way, hoping that Lin Zhen could muster his strength and successfully overcome this crisis.

At this moment, the veins on the arms and foreheads of the two of them were bulging simultaneously, their eyes filled with bloodshot, and their faces blood-red.

At this point, none of their other abilities could be used, it was just about who had more strength and greater willpower.

But no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be an outcome where both would be hurt.

Yan Huang opened his mouth wide, his tongue somewhat uncontrollable sticking out. He seemed to want to say something, wanting to negotiate with Lin Zhen to loosen their grip together, but he simply didn't have the ability to speak.

In his mind, Lin Zhen should have been thinking the same way, but now they were both in a difficult position.

"Is this how it ends? I really can't stand it!" Yan Huang's consciousness began to waver in waves.

Lin Zhen's situation was basically the same, clinging to the liquid metal tightly with a surge of willpower, not giving Yan Huang the slightest chance to relax, his eyelids gradually becoming too heavy to lift..

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Reunion with Huo Luofu

Translator: 549690339

No one expected that Lin Zhen and Yan Huang's battle would come to this, to the point where they wouldn't stop until one of them was dead. But no one could interfere, their fate seemed already sealed.

In his daze, Lin Zhen saw the compass in his hand.

Above the compass, a large red dot approached at an extremely high speed.

Seeing this scene made Lin Zhen's spirit tremble.

Extreme danger!

Yan Huang, who was now on the compass, was only a big black dot and hadn't turned red yet; once it turned red, it would mean that he was unstoppable.

Yan Huang was now behind Lin Zhen, and he saw it too, his pupils instantly enlarged.

Who was coming?

Both of them almost simultaneously had the thought to stop the battle. If they continued to entangle, they would become a joke when someone took advantage of the situation.

Before they could do anything, they saw a figure sprung from behind a hill on the opposite side.

As soon as the man landed, he catapulted out more than a thousand meters, heading straight for the two of them.

With his strong muscles exposed, he wore only a pair of leather pants and held a huge war hammer in his hand. His eyes were blood red, looking nothing like a human.

"Huo Luofu!"

Both of them were stunned, not expecting to see Huo Luofu, who had been missing since the War God's Knockout, here.

Huo Luofu's appearance seemed different from before.

"Ha ha ha! Two human natives are fighting to death, and since you both want to die, you might as well do it in my hands."

Huo Luofu's intent to kill Lin Zhen was stronger than anyone else's, and he couldn't even accept Lin Zhen dying in the hands of others. With one leap, he appeared in front of the two, swirling his war hammer and striking it down.

Under this one blow, Star Power condensed, space torn apart, and both were in immediate danger!

At this moment, both Lin Zhen and Yan Huang let go simultaneously.

Teleport!

Yan Huang teleported, and so did Lin Zhen – his target was actually with Yan Huang!

Yan Huang appeared a hundred meters away, Lin Zhen at his side, and Huo Luofu followed like a cannonball.

"Ha ha! Although this body has no Spiritual Power, its powerful physical strength is enough to catch up with your teleport. You can't escape!"

Yan Huang was furious, Lin Zhen was too cunning, and seeing such a ferocious opponent, he insisted on involving himself in the battle, a battle he didn't want to fight.

Especially now that Huo Luofu had obviously grown even stronger, Yan Huang would rather watch the fight from the sidelines.

Lin Zhen would never give Yan Huang this chance; the current Huo Luofu was not Huo Luofu but a puppet controlled by an Extraterrestrial Civilization. Lin Zhen was absolutely no match for him at the moment, and his only chance was to use Yan Huang to entangle him while he escaped.

At this point in the battle, Lin Zhen had already proven his strength, there would be other times to face Yan Huang, but today was no longer suitable for fighting him.

Yan Huang's continuous teleports didn't shake Lin Zhen off, after all, teleporting had Star Power fluctuations. For a seasoned teleporter like Lin Zhen, he could easily determine the direction and distance of the opponent's teleport based on their Star Power fluctuations, sticking to Yan Huang like glue.

Yan Huang didn't even have time to attack Lin Zhen, as Huo Luofu, relying on his monstrous physical prowess, accurately pursued the two. The time gap between their pursuits shortened, leaving them no chance to teleport.

With no other choice, Yan Huang let out an angry roar, suddenly raising his hand, and the Holy Light Sword and shield returned to his grasp: "I am Yan Huang. Lucifer, Master of the Church, Huo Luofu, do you dare to attack me?"

"Just a native leader, sooner or later you'll be ruled by us, what's there to be proud of?"

Huo Luofu let out a strange laugh, appearing in front of the two, as Lin Zhen used his Lightning Wings to dodge and hide behind Yan Huang.

Intent on attacking Lin Zhen, Huo Luofu tried to jump over Yan Huang's head, but this touched his reverse scale.

As the Pope, he could not bear the humiliation of being stepped on. He was already extremely aggrieved by his stalemate with Lin Zhen, but now Huo

Luofu wanted to use this move on him, which he absolutely could not accept.

"Get out of my way!"

With a leap, Yan Huang's Holy Light Sword slashed down.

"You're the one in my way!"

Huo Luofu didn't want to kill Yan Huang, as he could see that Yan Huang was not easy to kill. Lin Zhen, on the other hand, was easier. Swinging his war hammer, Huo Luofu struck hard.

"Clang! "

After a thunderous explosion, Yan Huang's body was sent flying backward, being pushed back a hundred meters by Huo Luofu in midair.

Lin Zhen still refused to leave, flapping his Lightning Wings and arriving at Yan Huang's side, with Huo Luofu immediately following like a ghost.

Yan Huang felt like vomiting blood in his heart, not expecting that Huo Luofu would be so strong. Although he didn't want to fight, faced with countless church followers and a worldwide audience, he couldn't back down from this fight.

A beam of white light descended from the sky, and the five Sacred Armors fell upon Yan Huang.

This was Lin Zhen's first time seeing Yan Huang wearing a full set of Sacred Armor.

Bright white light shone on the armor, and at this moment, Lin Zhen discovered that the quality of the armor seemed to have improved.

"As expected, there's some trick to it. After being infused with the power of Light Quantum, this armor set has actually improved in quality, turning it into a Middle Grade Holy Artifact set."

"If Yan Huang had worn this set during our battle just now, I might not have been able to withstand a few moves."

Yan Huang donned the Sacred Armor, turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, dare you join forces to eliminate this Sand Russian first, and then settle our rivalry afterward?"

In Yan Huang's view, Lin Zhen had nearly perished alongside him twice just now, and must hate him to the bone. Surely, he would want to determine their life and death as well.

As expected, Lin Zhen nodded, and the liquid metal in his hand turned into a long spear, seemingly ready to fight alongside Yan Huang.

Huo Luofu roared and charged, Yan Huang brandishing his longsword to meet him. Lin Zhen circled around from the side, apparently trying to attack Huo Luofu's rear.

As expected, Yan Huang's strength surged after donning the Holy Light Armor, his whole body brimming with Star Power, no longer easily repelled by Huo Luofu in a head-on confrontation.

However, as soon as he started fighting Huo Luofu, he saw Lin Zhen flap his Lightning Wings and, once again, head straight for the entrance to the second level.

"Damn it!"

Yan Huang roared angrily, wishing he could have grabbed Lin Zhen and devoured him whole. Huo Luofu also abandoned Yan Huang with a howl and pursued Lin Zhen directly.

Both men chased after Lin Zhen at nearly the same time, instantly disappearing from people's sight.

The onlookers looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what was going on.

Chasing Lin Zhen was not an easy task. With a few flaps of his Lightning Wings, he made it to the entrance of the second level in less than thirty seconds.

Although Yan Huang and Huo Luofu were also fast, they were still slightly slower than Lin Zhen. As they entered the second level one after another, they could only see Lin Zhen's figure heading in the direction of the South Pole.

Neither of the two attacked each other, they both just diligently followed Lin Zhen to the south.

However, once they set off, they discovered the difficulties of moving southward.

While the second level's mid-zone still boasted lush greenery, the farther south they went, the lower the temperature dropped. First, they came to an empty Icefield with frost heaves, and, gradually, they could no longer see any green vegetation.

Looking at the wind-whipped icefield ahead, Huo Luofu stopped.

"No, I remember the second level very well. The temperature at the South Pole is more than a hundred degrees below zero. It's impossible to pass without fire-resistant equipment and a Flame Heart. This body is powerful but still made of flesh and blood. Going to the South Pole like this will surely freeze to death. "

Shu Mingxuan forcibly suppressed Huo Luofu's desire for immediate revenge and turned back. Even if he wanted revenge, he couldn't do it here. Moreover, he could simply go to the third level and intercept Lin Zhen, with no need to die here.

Huo Luofu temporarily gave up on pursuing Lin Zhen, but Yan Huang continued onward for a while longer.

After passing through the frozen wilderness, a large snow mountain appeared in front. The temperature had suddenly dropped to minus seventy degrees, and Yan Huang couldn't stand it any longer. After all, he hadn't prepared any fire-powered equipment; this kind of temperature was unbearable for humans.

"Damn Lin Zhen, you escaped by luck today. But don't be smug; I'll be waiting for you in Constantinople, ready to catch you in my trap."

"Laricus, where the hell are you? You took my Breaking Boundary Nail and invisibility cloak and just vanished. If you were here today, Lin Zhen wouldn't have been so rampant!"

Yan Huang cursed Lin Zhen and his missing teacher in his heart before turning back towards the first level.

By the time Yan Huang reappeared at the entrance of the first level, the long-awaiting Gods Clan followers immediately swarmed him, their eyes filled with expectation, hoping to hear that he'd killed Lin Zhen.

Yan Huang also wished to say that he'd killed Lin Zhen, but he couldn't lie. Many Star List experts could see that Lin Zhen's name was still on the Star List, and lying would be instantly exposed.

"Return to the church!"

Yan Huang's face was ashen as he boarded the aircraft, and the surrounding Gods Clan personnel, not daring to breathe loudly, followed him.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but everything that had happened here was now known to the world.

Although the battle between Yan Huang and Lin Zhen ended inconclusively, Yan Huang's status as a Meteor Stage cultivator meant that his inability to kill Lin Zhen in direct combat was actually a loss.

This left many Gods Clan followers extremely disappointed. Their attempt to capture Lin Zhen not only ended in failure but also resulted in many casualties. Several Star Realm Experts died, as well as a large number of Battle Gods and near-Star Realm cultivators. The Pope was almost choked to death by Lin Zhen, who ultimately escaped in the end.

This result was undoubtedly difficult to accept. Some Gods Clan followers began to lose faith in the church, and a new wave of defections quietly began.

When Yan Huang returned to the Divine Power Church in Constantinople, he heard about Gongsun Du's performance in the Ancient God City.

His face darkened as he thought for a while before giving orders to those below: "I will now begin my retreat; I will not come out until I have completely refined the Star Sky Crown. During this time, don't say or do anything; just wait for me to come out."

"But Your Majesty…the number of church defectors is increasing."

"No matter! Once I come out, everything will change.. Lin Zhen will die, my wedding will proceed as usual, and our Gods Clan will rise to glory again!"

Walking alone atop the frozen snow mountain, Lin Zhen's mind was deep in thought.

He still remembered that when he encountered Adams' group, someone had said that his parents had been captured by the church and Yue'er had agreed to Yan Huang's marriage proposal.

Lin Zhen didn't believe that Yue'er would agree to such a thing, but what about his parents? Had they really been captured by the church?

Unfortunately, there was no internet here, so Lin Zhen could not verify such a thing.

Unable to confirm this matter, Lin Zhen couldn't temporarily leave Ancient God City, as his current trip to the church would definitely be a one-way journey.

Feeling the burning wounds on his body and recalling Yan Huang armed with sacred artifacts, followed by the immediate confrontation with Huo Luofu, Lin Zhen deeply felt the importance of sacred artifacts.

If he also had a full set of sacred artifacts, the battle just now wouldn't have turned out like that.

Searching in the Space Ring, Lin Zhen found another Top Quality Star Weapon Spear, but it didn't seem very handy. Now, he needed a sacred artifact.

After climbing the vast snow mountain, the temperature here had already dropped to minus eighty degrees.

Lin Zhen's Star Artifact was changed to a Flame suit, with billowing flames shielding him from the piercing cold.

A Quasi-SS Class Snow Monster encountered Lin Zhen, who didn't know what kind of mutation it was, but it definitely shouldn't have appeared on Earth.

One minute later, the almost-human-looking Snow Monster was killed by Lin Zhen's spear, and its Crystal was taken out.

"I can already take on a Quasi-SS Class Mutated Beast alone, but this is not

enough. MY goal IS to be able to Rill an SS-class."

Lin Zhen released Xiao Nuan, who was of fire attribute and very uncomfortable in this extreme cold. Xiao Nuan had to constantly release its flame.

After eating the body of the Snow Monster, Xiao Nuan grew a little more. Seeing its shivering appearance, Lin Zhen put it away again.

When he first entered Antarctica, he could still see some people, but as Lin Zhen went deeper, there were fewer people in the south, and later there were none at all.

After climbing over the highest peak of the snow mountain, Lin Zhen immediately felt a bone-piercing cold that nearly froze him stiff.

He had thought the temperature on the snow mountain was already cold enough, but now he realized that this side was still considered warm, because the cold air from the Antarctic Pole had been blocked by the snow mountain.

From the top of the snow mountain looking south, in the farthest south, beams of heavenly light descended from the sky, forming a curtain of light like an inverted Tianhe.

Floating in the sky were jellyfish-like clouds, which only formed at a temperature below minus 83 degrees.

It was already nightfall, and those jellyfish clouds were still illuminated by the celestial light, looking somewhat eerie.

Lin Zhen's Dark Star was in operation, with a stream of fire entering the Star Artifact on his body, resisting the extreme cold. His eyes, however, remained unblinking as he looked at the celestial light and jellyfish clouds here.

"I'm almost there. The heavenly light there is the aurora of the Antarctic. Where the aurora falls, there is the South Pole. Once I reach there, I can proceed to the third floor."

Large groups of snow and wind blew in his face, and Lin Zhen was struggling to move forward, leaving footprints with every step.

After walking for a while, frost covered Lin Zhen's armor, making it somewhat unable to withstand the extreme cold here.

Lin Zhen didn't use the Flame Heart but let the fire from the Dark Star release outward again, slowly melting the frost on the armor.

From the snow mountain, he walked towards the plain ahead, crossed a frozen river, and a house entirely made of ice appeared in front of him.

The house was built like a small villa, with the words Ice Palace written on it.

Lin Zhen knew that this was the Ice Palace that Dongfang Jun had mentioned. It was the territory of Luo Yun, the Hua Xia Martial Artist, but he didn't want to go in. He was anxious to find the sacred artifacts and Earth element crystals.

But just as he passed by the entrance of the Ice Palace, the door suddenly opened.

Dongfang Jun stood inside the Ice Palace and smiled at Lin Zhen, "Brother Lin, why not come in? You're making your big brother lose face."

Seeing Dongfang Jun, Lin Zhen couldn't continue walking forward. He could only smile and walk over, "Big brother Dongfang, I'm just in a hurry to get to the third floor and thought it'd be better not to bother."

Dongfang Jun pulled Lin Zhen into the Ice Palace, "There are many things to pay attention to before going to the third floor. Come in and talk; it's freezing outside."

Lin Zhen followed him in, and immediately felt warmth upon entering.

The temperature inside the Ice Palace was around minus thirty or forty degrees, but compared to the outside, it was simply heaven.

There was a living room inside, and after entering, there were seven or eight people inside, all of whom were Star Realm Experts.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all know his great name, but I still want to give him a grand introduction. This is my close friend, the talented Martial Artist Lin Zhen from Gale, the first person in history to advance to the Star List with the strength of the Quasi-Star Realm. He is currently ranked 51st on the Meteor Star List."

Upon hearing Dongfang Jun's introduction, the people inside indeed showed respectful expressions.

Being on the Star List is a symbol of strength. Lin Zhen is now a Quasi-Star Realm expert. If he wasn't on the Star List, even if he had defeated a Star Realm Expert, no one would respect him too much, after all, he wasn't on the list.

However, being on the list is different. The Heavenly Star List has eighteen people, the Dark Star List has thirty-six people, and the Meteor Star List has seventy-two people. These 126 people represent the strongest group in the world. Lin Zhen is currently ranked 51st on the Meteor Star List, and his strength is close to entering the world's top 100.

Not to mention that he is just at the Quasi-Star Realm, once he advances to the Star Realm, he will definitely become one of the top 100, or even top 50.

A person seated in the middle stood up: "Dongfang, we all know about Lin Zhen, especially just not long ago, Brother Lin actually eliminated three Star

List experts one after the other, jumping to the 51st position. In my opinion,

Brother Lin already has the strength to be in the top 30 of the Meteor Star List."

Dongfang Jun laughed, clearly feeling honored for his good relationship with Lin Zhen.

Turning to Lin Zhen, he said: "Lin Zhen, let me introduce you. This is Luo Yun. I'm sure you've seen him on the Meteor Star List. He is the super expert ranked third in the Meteor Star List and has a good chance of advancing to the Dark Star List."

"Hehe, the Dark Star List is not so easy to advance to. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Today is the first time we meet Brother Lin, and he is also one of our Hua Xia Martial Artists. Let us show our hospitality."

Saying that, Luo Yun looked at the other Star Realm experts around him: "Brothers, have the food and drinks been prepared?"

"It's all set. Dongfang said that Lin Zhen would definitely come here, so we prepared everything early."

"Alright then, let's begin!"

Luo Yun waved his hand, and Dongfang Jun led Lin Zhen to the dining room.

The dining room was also an ice sculpture room. In the middle of the central table, a hot pot had been set up, raising the room temperature considerably. Even ordinary people could barely have a meal here now.

As everyone was a Martial Artist and an expert, they naturally didn't care about the cold temperature. They all took their seats.

There was some emphasis on seating arrangements this time. Luo Yun, being the strongest person present and the host, naturally sat in the middle position, with Dongfang Jun to his left and Lin Zhen to his right.

Dongfang Jun, who is now on the Star List, ranked 33rd, was older than Lin Zhen and used to be the head of Gale, so there was no problem with him sitting there.

And Lin Zhen, being a 21-year-old youth, could sit in the third seat, while the other Star Realm Experts found it quite natural.

After all, he is on the Star List, different from those who haven't made the list yet, making him the rightful person for this seat.

Someone took out a big bottle of strong liquor and filled everyone's cups, then Luo Yun raised his cup: "Here, let's welcome Brother Lin to the Ice Palace. It's a pleasure to meet everyone, and now we're all friends. Cheers!"

"Cheers, cheers!"

Everyone picked up their drinks and downed them in one gulp.

Being able to eat hot pot and drink strong liquor in such an icy and snowy environment was indeed a pleasure. Lin Zhen felt warm and comfortable.

After having some food, Luo Yun said: "Brother Lin, we've heard about your situation. Although there's no internet here, we can still communicate using walkie-talkies on the second layer. Once you reach the third layer, you'll have internet access. We've seen your video, and I must say I'm impressed with how you managed to fight against Yan Huang of the Dark Star List."

Lin Zhen smiled and nodded. It seemed that the upper part of the spaceship could receive signals, making it convenient.

Luo Yun continued, "But let me give you a suggestion, Brother Lin. Your strength is indeed strong, but your equipment is still lacking. If you were eauiDDed with a full set of sacred eauioment. vou wouldn't have been so embarrassed in the final moments against Yan Huang or that strange-looking Huo Luofu."

Lin Zhen nodded, "That's right, I only have this sacred armor on my body. If I had a full set of equipment, even Yan Huang would have a hard time shaking my defense."

Luo Yun clapped his hands: "Exactly, so I'd like to discuss something with you." "What's the matter?" Lin Zhen was puzzled.

"It's simple. You, me, and Dongfang. All three of us should go to the third layer together and at least try to get a full set of sacred equipment. What do you think?"

"The three of us will go to the third layer?"

"Yes, don't think I look impressive occupying the Ice Palace on the second layer. It's only because I can't establish myself in the third layer that I have to stay in the second layer. Recently, Dongfang came, and the two of us tried to break through the third layer together, but there's an SS-level Hellhound guarding the entrance to the third layer on this side. We've tried several times but haven't succeeded. As for my subordinates, none of them have made it to the Star List, so they're not eligible to go to the third layer. Now that you've arrived, Brother Lin, we can finally make another attempt."

Dongfang Jun added: "We should give it a try. If we can't get rid of this three-headed Hellhound, we won't be able to enter the third layer, and we won't be able to get any treasure from there. Without sacred equipment, we wouldn't be very competitive on the Star List, making it difficult for Brother Lin to save his parents too."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen suddenly froze: "You said my parents?"

Translator: 549690339

Hearing Lin Zhen say this, Dongfang Jun was stunned, "You don't know?"

Lin Zhen suddenly felt heavy, was it not a lie what Adams and his group said?

"Brother Dongfang, what has happened? I haven't had internet access for a while, and I don't know the situation outside." Lin Zhen asked.

Dongfang Jun sighed and told Lin Zhen everything that had happened during this time.

Ice City is still besieged by the Mutated Beasts, and An Ning is inside.

Their parents were captured by the Gods Clan, and Li Yao died in battle.

Su Mingyue announced her withdrawal from the Gods Clan and her whereabouts are unknown.

Lin Zhen really didn't know these things. After listening, he felt heavy.

Dongfang Jun said to Lin Zhen, "Little brother Lin, I still want to persuade you not to return to the Gods Clan to save your parents immediately. They have been captured for some time, and forgive me for being blunt, but with your current strength, there is no assurance of success. Not only would you be unable to save your parents, but you might lose your own life."

Lin Zhen nodded, "I know these things, but I can't wait too long. The situation is different now. I have fought face-to-face with Yan Huang, and many things have been torn apart. Moreover, the Gods Clan is in a precarious situation, and I must be careful of Yan Huang's desperate actions."

Dongfang Jun thought for a moment, "Yan Huang hasn't canceled his wedding date yet, so he must have some calculations. There are only 20 days left until his wedding.

Huo Luofu roared and charged, Yan Huang brandishing his longsword to meet him. Lin Zhen circled around from the side, apparently trying to attack Huo Luofu's rear

Hearing Lin Zhen say this, Luo Yun immediately slapped the table, "Alright, then let's set off after our meal, and strive to gain some decent harvest within half a month."

After eating a hot pot meal, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun, and Lin Zhen went to the South Pole together.

Lin Zhen had embedded the core of Raging Fire in his armor early on to protect himself from the extreme cold of the South Pole.

At the place where the sky and the Aurora converge, Luo Yun pointed to the sky.

"The place where the Aurora appears is the entrance to the third layer. The three-headed Hellhound guards the entrance. Its den should contain Holy Artifacts. If we can kill it, we will definitely gain something."

Dongfang Jun added, "Brother Lin, be careful. The three heads of the Hellhound can spray different elemental powers. One head can emit corrosive poison, one head can emit fierce fire, and one head can emit freezing air. The most troublesome thing is that corrosive poison."

"It's okay, I think I can handle it." Lin Zhen was immune to all poisons, not fearing any venom.

"Alright, let's go!"

The three of them leaped into the sky at almost the same time and charged straight towards the Aurora point of the South Pole.

The Star Realm warriors below watched the three of them disappear into the entrance of the third layer, admiring when they would be able to have the prestige of the Star List experts.

Although Lin Zhen was still a quasi-Star Realm, in the eyes of most Star Realm warriors, he was already a senior.

Crossing the Aurora area to reach the entrance of the third layer, Lin Zhen felt the Star List in his Spiritual Consciousness Sea flicker. The light screen of the third layer opened, and he, Luo Yun, and Dongfang Jun entered.

Inside the third layer was somewhat dim, and as soon as they entered, they felt a rotten smell. The ground was made of black soil. As Lin Zhen and the others appeared, a huge Ghoul nearby roared and pounced over.

This was a quasi-SS Class Mutated Beast. Lin Zhen could now easily kill it alone. With the combined efforts of the three, the beast was killed within ten seconds.

Looking at the Ghoul's disgusting body, Lin Zhen frowned slightly, "Is this still a mutated beast?"

"No, this is not a mutated beast, and it's not even an Earth creature. These things are called Warcraft. The entire third layer is filled with similar monsters, but their levels correspond to those of Mutated Beasts. For example, these quasi-SS Class Ghouls are the weakest in the third layer."

Just as Luo Yun finished speaking, a loud roar was heard, and his face changed,

"The three-headed Hellhound is coming."

Lin Zhen released Xiao Nuan, and after coming out, Xiao Nuan immediately devoured the dead body of the Ghoul.

There was a tremor on the ground, and a huge monster over five meters tall and more than ten meters long rushed over. Water was dripping from its three enormous heads, making it extremely terrifying.

"Go! According to the plan, Lin Zhen, you deal with the middle head that spits corrosive poison, and the two of us will deal with the ones on either side!"

"Let's go!"

Lin Zhen gripped his spear, preparing for his first battle against an SS Class Warcraft.

As the three-headed Hellhound roared towards them, Dongfang Jun and Luo Yun launched their attacks simultaneously. Both of them wielded Lower Grade Holy Artifact swords, one using the ice element and the other using the fire element. They continuously flew, moving instantaneously around the Hellhound to create opportunities for Lin Zhen.

Without the worry of the two side heads, Lin Zhen's Lightning Wings flapped, and he charged at the middle head!

The Hellhound's huge mouth opened wide, and a stream of poison sprayed out. But Lin Zhen suddenly accelerated, rushing through the poison.).

Lin Zhen felt a burning sensation on his body, and except for the Sacred Armor and Lightning Wings, the other Star Artifacts were corroded and quickly lost their effectiveness.

But Lin Zhen was not affected. After absorbing the Cinnabar Stones from the Five Connected Pools, Lin Zhen's body was immune to any toxins. He charged at the Hellhound, and with a flick of his wrist, the golden Seven Stars Knife appeared in his hand and slashed fiercely!

"Pft!"

The mouth of the Hellhound was torn open by Lin Zhen, revealing a wound one meter long, with the skin and flesh turning outwards, making it scream in pain!

Unexpectedly, the venom had no effect on Lin Zhen. After being hit by a knife, the Hellhound became more ferocious, opening its mouth wide and biting towards Lin Zhen.

Just as the dog's mouth was about to close, Lin Zhen teleported!

He teleported to the top of the Hellhound's head and slashed it viciously again!

Blood splattered, causing the Hellhound to go completely mad.

The left head abandoned Dongfang Jun and bit towards Lin Zhen, but Luo Yun came just in time to support with a fireball, saving Lin Zhen's life.

The right head bit at Luo Yun, while Dongfang Jun shot out an Ice Knife, saving Luo Yun once more.

Meanwhile, the middle head sprayed venom at Dongfang Jun. Lin Zhen blocked it with his body and ruthlessly shot an energy ball into the Hellhound's mouth, turning its insides into a mess.

No single person could possibly deal with this SS-level Mutated Beast, but with the combined power of the three top Star List experts, they managed to hold on.

The lion-sized Xiao Nuan also played a significant role now. The Galaxy Beast was extremely fast, and it specifically targeted the Hellhound's rear. Every time it attacked, it would bite off a large chunk of flesh and swallow it down in just a few bites.

The Hellhound was already struggling to deal with the three formidable fighters and had no time to deal with Xiao Nuan's constant harassment.

The battle was full of twists and turns, with the three of them almost dying several times. Fortunately, they didn't abandon each other and supported each other to keep going.

After more than an hour of tough battle, it was finally Xiao Nuan who bit off one of the Hellhound's legs. The three seized the opportunity to launch a major counterattack.

Everyone gave their all—Lin Zhen's Star Weapon Spear was destroyed by the Hellhound's venom. Instead, he used the energy balls as bombs, blasting the Hellhound's middle head to pieces.

Slowed down and severely injured, the Hellhound couldn't withstand the combined assault of the three and a beast anymore and eventually died.

Once the fight was over, they all lay on the ground, exhausted from the intense battle.

No wonder the third layer requires Star List experts; any Star Realm individual would be sending themselves to death.

After recovering for quite some time, Lin Zhen was the first to get up. He took three Crystals from the Hellhound's body and gave the huge carcass to the meritorious Xiao Nuan as a reward.

This was an SS-level feast for Xiao Nuan, who gleefully pounced on it and enjoyed eating.

At this time, Luo Yun stood up: "Let's hurry to the Hellhound's nest, there must be good things there."

The three rushed through and arrived at the entrance of the Hellhound's cave

in a minute.

Entering the cave, there were no other creatures. They reached the end, where the shining treasure made their eyes light up.

A Lower Grade Holy Artifact Armor, a Lower Grade Holy Artifact Boots, a

Middle Grade Holy Artifact Sword, and a Middle Grade Holy Artifact Spear.

Luo Yun picked up the four Holy Artifacts and burst into laughter: "Great! This trip wasn't in vain. This Hellhound has collected quite a few good items." Everyone gathered around, their faces full of joy.

Finally, Luo Yun allocated the items. He kept the Middle Grade Holy Artifact sword for himself, while giving his original Lower Grade Holy Artifact sword and the armor to Dongfang Jun.

As for the boots and the spear, they were given to Lin Zhen. All of them were delighted.

Lin Zhen was the biggest winner of this battle, but it was also because he contributed the most. Without his immune body, it would be difficult for anyone to deal with the three-headed Hellhound, unless they were particularly strong, like those old ghosts from the Heavenly Star List.

Holding the spear in his hand, Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel thrilled.

The Middle-Grade Holy Artifact spear, called Raging Light, was 3-5 meters long and weighed 1,400 kilograms. With a shining golden body and razor-sharp tip, it exuded an ancient aura from inside to out.

Lin Zhen swung it a few times reveling in the brilliance. He grew fond of his new weapon.

"If Lin had this spear just now, the three Hellhounds would have been killed much earlier. Watching Lin deal with the Hellhounds with a small knife made me so worried for him," Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun laughed heartily.

Lin Zhen also put on the Lower Grade Holy Artifact boots. He now had three Holy Artifacts on his body.

"As soon as I get the Earth Elemental Core, I'll leave this place right away. There are still many people waiting for me outside…" Lin Zhen secretly made up his mind.

Just as they finished dividing the spoils, Xiao Nuan suddenly ran in from outside.

Seeing Xiao Nuan again, Lin Zhen was shocked – was this still Xiao Nuan?

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Crisis in Ice City

Translator: 549690339

If previously, Xiao Nuan was about the size of a semi-grown lion, after devouring three Hellhounds, Xiao Nuan had clearly evolved.

Its body length exceeded three meters and its height had reached up to Lin Zhen's chest. Its head, framed by red mane, looked more massive, but the face was still the misleadingly cute one. It ran up to Lin Zhen and rubbed its big head against his chest.

Lin Zhen stroked Xiao Nuan's big head, clearly sensing the overwhelming power it possessed. If before, Xiao Nuan was in its infancy stage, then it was now like a toddler.

Watching Xiao Nuan, Luo Yun said enviously, "Brother Lin, although I don't know what level this mutated beast of yours is, I feel that its future is boundless. It's not much different from an SS-level mutated beast now."

Dongfang Jun also nodded, "That's right. With this little guy helping us, we don't need to expend so much effort dealing with SS-level mutated beasts."

Lin Zhen waved the Raging Light in his hand: "Now that our team has become stronger, we don't need to wait any longer. Let's continue moving forward and start sweeping the third layer."

"Why are we rushing? Shouldn't we rest a bit?" Dongfang Jun asked.

"No need, I am already rested."

Lin Zhen rode out of the cave on Lightning Wings, and Xiao Nuan immediately followed closely. Luo Yun looked at Dongfang Jun, "Let's go. Brother Lin still has a lot to do outside. We must seize the time. As long as Brother Lin is here, we can also make a fortune."

Dongfang Jun chuckled, "I've seen Lin Zhen grow up, but I never expected him to be such a genius. Perhaps we will have to look up to him in the future."

"I think so too."

The two followed behind Lin Zhen and began their sweep of the third layer.

With the holy weapon and Xiao Nuan clearly becoming stronger, their sweep became much easier. Xiao Nuan alone was able to hunt Quasi-SS Class Warcraft, and when they encountered SS-level beasts, the three of them joined hands. In half an hour, the beast was usually dealt with, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

They kept collecting crystals, but they still hadn't found a suitable earth element crystal.

Until the seventh day, Xiao Nuan killed a Quasi-SS Class Earth Demon Bear, but Lin Zhen was not too satisfied with its crystal.

He hoped to find an SS-level earth element crystal, which would be conducive to the condensation of Dark Star. After all, SS-level crystals have more earth elements, and Dark Star would end up larger.

In Lin Zhen's mind, he planned to leave in at most half a month. Although he could access the internet in the third layer during this time, there were still no movements from the Gods Clan. He couldn't reach Su Mingyue, and the fierce battle in Ice City was still ongoing.

On the twelfth day, Lin Zhen was becoming impatient.

He wanted to leave. Although he also gained a lot these days, including another holy helmet and breastplate, his patience was wearing thin as the battle at Ice City seemed to be taking a toll on the defenders.

This time the scale of the mutated beast's attack on the city seemed to be even larger than in the last life. The siege had been going on for nearly a month, and the number of beasts hadn't decreased much. Even if they did, it was only the lower-level cannon fodder, while the number of high-level mutated beasts was increasing.

Ice City was running perilously low on ammunition reserves and manpower. Through the internet, Lin Zhen saw An Ning several times.

An Ning's beautiful face was a bit haggard. She had been fighting on the front lines for such a long time that Lin Zhen couldn't bear it anymore.

On the thirteenth day, right when Lin Zhen was planning to leave, Luo Yun came running excitedly.

"Brother Lin, there's a big deal; do you dare to take it on?"

"What big deal?" Lin Zhen asked.

"The Star List experts active in the third layer are planning to join forces to deal with the Earth Demon Dragon, and they are asking if we want to participate?"

"Earth Demon Dragon? Can we handle it? That's a Quasi-SSS Class Warcraft." Dongfang Jun was stunned.

"We're definitely not enough by ourselves, so we need more people. We all know that the Dragon Clan tends to hoard treasures. This Earth Demon Dragon is the strongest beast in the third layer. It must have collected a lot of good things. Also, weren't you looking for an earth element crystal, Brother Lin? I think this is a chance."

Dongfang Jun also looked at Lin Zhen, "Brother Lin, dealing with the Earth Demon Dragon is definitely not an easy task. Even if many people join hands, it won't be easy. I know you are in a hurry to leave. You should think it over carefully. "

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and decided that in his current state he couldn't play a significant role outside. He might even be annihilated by the Gods Clan. It would be better to persist for a few more days.

"Let's go, together, and leave after this mission."

Seeing Lin Zhen agree, Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun were thrilled. The three men, along with Xiao Nuan, immediately set off for Demon Dragon Mountain.

"Machine-gunners in the bunker, your duty is to distribute power evenly. The snipers are supposed to focus on the key targets, remember that!" "The mutated birds are coming, ready the petrol bombs!"

"Sniper Team One, take out that mutated buffalo charging the city wall. The wall is our lifeline, we absolutely cannot let it fall!"

"Where's the War God Slaughter Team? The northeast corner of the wall is breached. A group of mutated monkeys has gotten through!"

The vicinity of Ice City's wall was filled with piercing war cries. Countless mutated beasts were clamoring to attack the wall like a tidal wave. It was a ceaseless battle.

A herd of wild buffalos attracted the firepower of the northeastern wall, then a group of mutated monkeys swiftly climbed up. Within a few seconds, they were on the top of the tall city wall, waving their enormous claws. Instantly, they tore hundreds of City Defense Army soldiers into pieces.

At this moment, a flag was raised. Employees of the An Group formed a sniping team, lead by a War Goddess in purple, wearing light armor. Her graceful and beautiful figure shuttled across the battlefield. With every raise and drop of her sword, a giant monkey fell dead on the spot.

An Ning had no choice but to lead from the front. The An Group had invested not only hundreds of billions of funds in this battle but also countless manpower. During this nearly month-long siege battle, tens of thousands of An Group employees had fallen forever on this battlefield.

A flock of mutated wild geese swooped down from the sky, intending to wipe out the An Group's Slaughter Team.

An Ning swung her long sword, and a huge wave burst forth from nowhere, crashing down and knocking down the entire flock of mutated birds.

The claw of an S-level Monkey King grazed across her shoulder, leaving several wounds.

An Ning, who had been fighting for a long time, staggered a bit, but she didn't mind. It was quite common to get injured on the battlefield. When Chris was training in the Mediterranean, she didn't even remember how many times she had been injured.

Just as she was about to kill the S-level Monkey King with a single stroke, a figure suddenly sprinted over from behind, flipping and flying with a spear in hand. After a few rounds, the monkey king finally fell to a spear thrust.

The man, slightly out of breath, turned back and looked at An Ning with a gentle gaze, "Miss An Ning, I'm sorry I arrived late. Are you okay?"

An Ning frowned slightly: "Thank you, General, I'm fine."

The commander's name was Shen Lixing, from the military. He was a

Quasi-Star Realm Expert and also the commander-in-chief of the Capital City Defense Army.

It was said that his father was a high-ranking official in Hua Xia. An Ning didn't know whether it was true or not, and she was not in the mood for gossip.

With Shen Lixing's killing of the Monkey King, the surge of the mutated beasts finally receded.

Cheers erupted from the city wall, particularly for Shen Lixing, who was surrounded in the center, like the beloved star of the crowd.

"Everyone, do not worry. We have repeatedly defeated the attacks of the mutated beasts, and I have drawn up a plan of counter-attack and decapitation. As long as you trust me, I assure you, the battle will end by tonight!"

An Ning watched from a distance, not agreeing with Shen Lixing's words.

She understood the so-called decapitation action very clearly. It was about organizing an elite team to kill the Arch-enemy deep within the beast herd.

But was the Arch-enemy that easy to kill? Misfortunes could easily happen, potentially leading to heavy losses and a failed mission.

Ice City could no longer afford such losses. Not only were its resources and manpower greatly depleted, but the public had also started to lose hope.

The mutated beasts were endless. If nothing unexpected happened, Ice City would eventually fall, sooner or later.

Although the decapitation operation must be carried out, An Ning believed that their current forces were not enough to fulfill this mission. She suggested waiting for reinforcements. Ice City could hold on for a while longer. A failed operation would have a huge blow to the people's confidence. But Shen Lixing disagreed.

This man wanted to earn credit and fame, and was very passionate about the decapitation operation. He'd been planning for days. Now everything was ready, and they were preparing to set off.

After Shen Lixing had finished chanting slogans, he came over to An Ning.

"Miss An Ning, our decapitation team is about to embark. Right now, we've locked onto the Arch-enemy's location. I believe that after tonight, the army of mutated beasts will disperse, and this battle will end. I want to take that opportunity to invite Miss An Ning to my house as a guest, to share memories of the battle."

An Ning raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly: "I don't think so. My suggestion is to wait for reinforcements. The present forces are not sufficient to kill the

Arch-enemy."

"Reinforcements? Where else can we get reinforcements?"

Shen Lixing said solemnly: "Now all base cities are in a difficult situation, to varying extents harassed and attacked by mutated beasts. The current support for Ice City is already the maximum. I guess you could try to get those unparalleled experts to come out and kill the Arch -enemy, but who knows where they are, probably cultivating in some ancient Gods Clan ruins. They possibly don't even know about Ice City's situation. Even if they do know, I'm afraid they wouldn't care unless they're from Ice City."

An Ning hesitated for a moment: "I received a message from Lin Zhen yesterday. He asked me to wait for him. I think he will surely come to Ice City."

"Lin Zhen?"

A hint of displeasure appeared on Shen Lixing's face. He almost forgot that the beauty before him was Lin Zhen's girlfriend. This made him feel a bit jealous as he was quite interested in An Ning.

"Miss An Ning, although Mr. Lin Zhen is a powerful martial artist and has a patriotic passion, don't forget that this is a battle against a beast siege, not a

battlefield for any individual heroism. Even if Lin Zhen comes, can he alone

turn around the current situation in Ice City? I don't see how that's possible. I

even doubt if Lin Zhen would come. As the commander-in-chief of Ice City, I

cannot entrust our hopes to a single individual. We need to save ourselves."

An Ning turned her head: "I've said all that I wanted to. Since you insist, we'll follow your plan. As for your invitation to your house, I think not. I am Lin Zhen's girlfriend. It's not appropriate for me to be with any other man. You can do as you please."

With that, An Ning turned and walked off the city wall. She too was tired and needed some rest.

Rejected coldly by An Ning, Shen Lixing's face darkened.

Although he was a genius and held a high -ranking position, he didn't have the guts to challenge Lin Zhen.

"An Ning, wait for me to save the day from this beast siege. I'll publicly invite you to my house. I'd like to see how you'll reject me then!"

The decapitation team, which the people of Ice City were eagerly expecting, finally set off that night, with almost all of Ice City's remaining hope placed

upon them..

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Condensation of the Dark Star

Translator: 549690339

The Headhunting Squad set off, and through satellite positioning, it was determined that the great enemy was located to the west of Ice City. All firepower was concentrated to provide cover for the Headhunting Squad.

The limited stock of rocket launchers took turns bombing the area, clearing a vacuum zone to the west. The Headhunting Squad quickly advanced and disappeared from people's sight.

People couldn't see them anymore, but soon a mushroom cloud rose from the distance, indicating that a cover member had self-destructed.

Star List experts assured Base City residents not to worry, and everything was going according to plan.

However, the subsequent live broadcast was not pleasant. A hedgehog-like Mutated Beast fired its spear-like spines in a dense long-range attack. Half of the Headhunting Squad members fell in pools of blood.

The sudden change buried the hope of the Headhunting Squad. The last Star List expert didn't even see the great enemy's face before falling under the claws of a group of Quasi-SS Class Mutated Beasts.

The fall of the Headhunting Squad completely extinguished the hope of the people of Ice City, causing a devastating drop in morale. People became despondent.

If such an elite squad was annihilated, the remaining millions of people in Ice City would have even less chance of breaking through.

Perhaps the city would fall tomorrow.

Demon Dragon Mountain was located in the center of the third layer, with a tunnel leading to the fourth layer.

However, the tunnel was the Demon Dragon's lair, where the Earth Demon Dragon resided, blocking people from moving forward.

In the surrounding area, other Warcraft dare not approach due to the presence of the Earth Demon Dragon.

Within the tunnel, a massive roar had been going on for hours.

A huge beast's roar came, slowly calming down.

Lin Zhen sat there, not wanting to move a finger. The battle was too hard.

Eight Star List experts teamed up to fight the Earth Demon Dragon, but three of them died on the spot.

Fortunately, they eventually won. In the end, Lin Zhen's space-cutting directly sliced the Earth Demon Dragon's brain, obtaining the Earth element crystal within it.

Inside the Earth Demon Dragon's lair, there were a total of nine Holy Artifacts, including a High-Grade Holy Artifact. The remaining people divided the spoils on the spot.

However, Lin Zhen didn't get anything this time because he had already taken the Quasi-SSS Class Earth element crystal, making it the best trophy.

After everyone divided the loot, Lin Zhen requested the Earth Demon Dragon's massive corpse.

Naturally, Lin Zhen wouldn't take it for free. He paid every person on the spot an additional 30 billion Huaxia Coins.

Some people wanted the corpse, but Lin Zhen didn't participate in the distribution of the Holy Artifacts, so they reluctantly agreed to leave the corpse to Lin Zhen.

The Earth Demon Dragon's corpse was quite valuable. If brought to the outside world, it could sell for up to 200 billion. However, Lin Zhen wanted it as food for Xiao Nuan.

Releasing Xiao Nuan, she devoured the Earth Demon Dragon.

After eating this big fellow, Xiao Nuan seemed to face an evolutionary bottleneck and went straight into the Black Ghost to sleep.

Obtaining the Earth element crystal, Lin Zhen immediately said goodbye to the others.

Both Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun knew that Lin Zhen was eager to leave and didn't try to keep him. The two returned to Ice Palace while Lin Zhen left Ancient God City directly.

After leaving the city, Lin Zhen felt refreshed by the outside air.

"The hard work I've put in for this time has paid off. With the Quasi-SSS Class

Earth element crystal, my Dark Star will finally condense."

Lin Zhen took out his cell phone to check on the situation in Ice City.

At a glance, he was shocked. To avoid distractions from other matters, he hadn't been paying much attention to the internet lately. But in just two days, how had the situation in Ice City become like this?

"Headhunting Squad operation fails, where is the way out for the people of Ice

"Good news! The Commander, Shen Lixing, announces that he has received the promise of the Great Divine Sect of Allen. As long as the people of Ice City rejoin the Star Sky Divine Teaching and swear never to betray them, the Gods Clan is willing to send troops to help Ice City resolve the crisis."

"Miss An Ning of the An Group issues a statement, swearing to share the same fate with the city and never rejoin Star Sky Divine Teaching again." "Ice City falls into chaos from internal and external troubles."

Reading through the articles, Lin Zhen had a general understanding of the situation in Ice City.

Ice City was now under the command of a man named Shen Lixing who had planned the headhunting operation, but it ended in failure.

After the failure, Shen Lixing contacted Allen from the former Sofia Cathedral, who promised that if the people of Ice City rejoined the Gods Clan, they would send troops to help them break the siege.

However, this was opposed by An Ning and martial artists from several Base Cities in Northwest, Demon Capital, and the Capital, many of whom Lin Zhen knew.

With Mutated Beasts attacking from the outside and internal struggle within, it seemed inevitable that the city would fall eventually.

From this information, Lin Zhen also analyzed some details.

Allen was originally in Ancient God City pursuing Lin Zhen. He went in the wrong direction before, going to the South Pole when Lin Zhen was at the North Pole. But there was no news about him after that, and it turned out that he had left earlier.

The fact that Allen agreed to this matter showed that the Gods Clan now had no real leaders. Yan Huang might be in seclusion for cultivation.

After checking the messages from his parents, he found out that they were both currently imprisoned in the Divine Might Church in Constantinople, temporarily with no danger to their lives.

After some hesitation, Lin Zhen decided to rescue Ice City first. However, before that, he needed to make a breakthrough.

Only by condensing the Dark Star could Lin Zhen possibly save Ice City. Otherwise, it would be a futile effort.

He didn't post a message online about his return but sent a message to An

Ning: "I'm back, hang in there."

After sending the message, An Ning quickly replied to Lin Zhen: "I'll wait for you."

Lin Zhen tried to call Su Mingyue again, but he couldn't get through, so he gave up.

Wearing a metal mask and controlling his aura to the level of a Fifth-Level War God, Lin Zhen became unrecognizable to others. He boarded a small aircraft and left the Ancient God City.

Upon reaching Zhao Dong County City, Lin Zhen's aircraft landed on the top of

Zhao Dong Building.

It was already mid-winter, and more than four years had passed since Lin Zhen's reincarnation, making this his fifth year.

When he landed on Zhao Dong Building, the place was almost like an empty city.

All the mutated beasts had gone to participate in the Ice City siege, turning the once Wilderness Area into a no man's land.

The surroundings were still filled with gusts of snow, but after experiencing the extreme cold of the South Pole in Ancient God City, Lin Zhen was almost immune to such low temperatures.

Arriving at the place where he had once made a breakthrough, Lin Zhen sat down.

He knew that he was now facing a very critical moment.

Apart from Ice City's situation, the Church was also a big threat to Lin Zhen. Once Yan Huang came out, his strength would definitely soar, and there were only four days left before Yan Huang announced his big wedding.

The whereabouts of Yue'er were still unknown, and his parents were trapped in Constantinople, waiting for his rescue.

All of this required his strength as support, and the condensation of the Star Core within the Dark Star was the most crucial step.

He hadn't experienced this step in his previous life, and even though he had heard of some people fortuitously possessing a Dark Star in his previous life, he had never heard of anyone actually turning a Dark Star into a solid entity.

"Perhaps I'm making history."

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, put all his distractions behind him, and began to meditate.

Adjusting his breath, cultivating, and absorbing the natural energy of the world.

An hour later, he felt that his condition had reached its best and stopped cultivating.

From the Space Ring, Lin Zhen took out two Earth Element Crystals.

One was from a Quasi-SS Class Warcraft, and the other was from a Quasi-SSS Class Warcraft.

"Ideally, I should use an SS-level one, but I couldn't find it. These two are slightly too big and too small, so I don't know what the final effect will be. I'll just try absorbing the smaller one first."

Taking out the Quasi-SS Class Earth Element Crystal, Lin Zhen placed it in front of his Dantian.

His Dantian Qi began to circulate, and the power within the crystal entered Lin Zhen's Dantian.

As soon as the Earth Element's power entered, the Dark Star within Lin Zhen's body began spinning wildly!

The other elemental powers within the Dark Star had been condensed for a long time, such as Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, and Golden Light, but they were always lacking the Earth Element, which was the basis of their existence.

Now that they saw the Earth Element, it was like a drought encountering rain, and the whole Dark Star came to life in that moment!

"Hiss! Such a fast absorption speed!"

Lin Zhen looked inward with his spiritual power and saw that the rotation of the Dark Star became faster and faster. The strands of Earth Element penetrated through two spaces and quickly entered the Dark Star.

This was not quite the same as the condensation of Dantian Qi. The Dark Star operated in another space, separate but reliant on the Dantian Qi.

At this moment, the Dark Star began to form a foundation, and after the Earth Element entered, it quickly gathered inside the Dark Star, forming the planet's shell.

"To my knowledge, the foundation of a planet's existence is Earth, but the interior of a planet is also divided into several layers."

"From the outside in, these layers are the crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core."

"Just one Quasi-SS Class crystal alone might not be enough to condense these layers. I just don't know how far I can go with this one."

Ten minutes!

Under Lin Zhen's watch, ten minutes later, the Earth Element Crystal was completely absorbed. The Star Core within the Dark Star only formed one layer of shell, and the second layer of the lithosphere had not yet condensed.

"As expected, one Earth Element Crystal is not enough. Thankfully, I was prepared."

Lin Zhen placed the Quasi-SSS Class Crystal in front of his Dantian once again.

He saw the crystal disintegrating rapidly, and the Earth Element surged into the Dark Star's interior at lightning speed.

Originally, the Dark Star, which was about to stop spinning, gained new vitality and life and grew rapidly before Lin Zhen's eyes!

Another twenty minutes passed. The lithosphere was successfully condensed, and the process continued to the third layer, the asthenosphere..
