Chapter 417: Chapter 417: An Unforeseen Change!

Translator: 549690339

Having killed Diana with his own hands, Lin Zhen felt a moment of clarity in his mind, as if something that had been blocking his senses suddenly disappeared.

Perhaps it was a lingering obsession from his past life. In his past life, Earth was destroyed at the hands of Diana. Since being reborn, Lin Zhen had been fighting to save the people of Earth. Now that he had slain the mastermind, the depressive energy in his soul dispersed instantly, giving him a natural feeling of comfort.

Lind Zhen's main body, originally at Star Core Level 6, was now about to break through yet again!

This powerful force surged within him, although it wasn't as strong as when he broke through to the Star Realm, it was still not to be underestimated.

Not daring to take it lightly, Lin Zhen's main body instantly teleported above the clouds and then continuously teleported out of the atmosphere to break through. Meanwhile, his duplicate remained on the battleground.

Lin Zhen had taken down Diana while within the Galaxy Domain. From the outside, all one could see was the darkness of the night sky. No one saw Lin Zhen's main body and duplicate fighting together.

When his main body left, Lin Zhen's Star Core Domain withdrew, revealing his body to everyone.

"Diana is dead!"

Anderson, who had been watching Lin Zhen's battle, felt a tightness in his heart.He knew that Diana was no match for Lin Zhen, which was why he had contacted him in the first place. However, knowing was one thing; witnessing it was another.

To his disbelief, two Constant Star Stage experts had lost to a single Satellite Stage opponent, which was hard for him to accept.

Upon being freed, Lin Zhen immediately rushed to the fight between Anderson and Yan Qiyue. Along the way, he unleashed two Thunder Kills, killing two Planet Stage experts and liberating Chen Fenglie.

Seeing this, Anderson's eyes turned blood-red, and he could no longer contain his rage.

With Diana's death, his five hundred million Sanjiang coin mission, along with half of the commission, had not yet been collected!

What was even more infuriating was that if Diana's payment was not made, his mission would be considered incomplete, leaving Anderson incredibly agitated.

"Lin Zhen! You and all the people of Earth will die!"

Anderson's voice had become severely hoarse, presumably out of anger.

As for Yan Qiyue, who had been fighting Anderson, he coldly laughed and said, "Don't delude yourself! Lin Zhen is here. Together, we will leave you here today."

Before Yan Qiyue had finished speaking, Lin Zhen joined the fray.

"Anderson, I don't care if you're doing this for money or something else. Since you dared to create chaos on Earth, I, the Lord, will defend my rights!"

With a meteor-like strike from his Cliff Corner Spear, Lin Zhen unleashed all his skills.

Since entering the Asura Arena, Lin Zhen's only defeats had come at the hands of Diana and the Red Star Shura. As Anderson was the Red Star Shura, he wanted to beat him in reality.

Yan Qiyue's golden long knife struck down with increasing ferocity. Though it was their first time fighting together, their coordination was remarkably seamless.

This was the understanding shared between top-level experts. With little need for words, they always made the right choices.

Knife like thunder, spear like a dragon!

Anderson's halberd danced wildly, but against Lin Zhen and Yan Qiyue, Earth's two top experts, he found himself at a disadvantage!

"Puff!"

A slash cut through Anderson's chest, leaving a gaping wound that looked quite severe.

With a furious smash from his halberd, Anderson tried to retaliate. Lin Zhen blocked with his spear, immovable like a mountain!

As the spear and halberd collided, Lin Zhen's body swayed slightly but did not retreat. Taking advantage of this, Yan Qiyue launched another three attacks, leaving three more wounds on Anderson's abdomen.

"His body is so tenacious, I can't believe I didn't manage to cut him apart!" Yan Qiyue laughed happily, believing the battle was already over.

Clap clap clap~~!

Seizing the chance, Lin Zhen pressed on with his spear, using time acceleration to make his moves unpredictable. Anderson could not even maintain his grip on his halberd!

Yan Qiyue's golden knife sliced in support, forcing Anderson to stumble back.

"Clang!"

With an unstoppable force, Lin Zhen knocked Anderson's halberd into the air.

Anderson shouted and tried to catch his weapon, but a wave of gravity from Lin Zhen's hand enveloped it. The middle-grade artifact halberd was directly absorbed into his Space Ring!

"Anderson, thank you! Now you're just a toothless tiger, accept your fate!"

Lin Zhen and Yan Qiyue stood side by side, knife and spear raised. The combined might of two exceptional experts was truly terrifying; Anderson was no match for them!

Looking around, Anderson realized that if he continued fighting, not only would he fail to complete the mission, but he might also lose his life on Earth.

Having lost his halberd, Anderson did not panic but instead spoke in a gloomy tone.

"Lin Zhen! You've hidden quite well. I never thought this native planet would produce two super-experts, each with the strength of a Red Star Shura. I, Anderson, have miscalculated."

"But don't be too proud. Do you think you can defeat me like this? That's a joke."

Yan Qiyue coldly snorted, "What's the point of bragging? Maybe Lin Zhen and I can't beat you alone, but when we join forces, you don't stand a chance."

Anderson suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath, as the air condensed and was fiercely drawn into his nostrils.

The surrounding people felt their breath tighten, and the air within a few hundred meters was almost sucked away by his action.

"Frogs in the well do not know the vastness of the world!" Anderson slowly closed his eyes.

"Humph! Putting on an act, I'll deal with you today!" Yan Qiyue didn't care about that and was about the make a move with a leap forward.

"Be careful, Senior Yan!" Lin Zhen felt something was off and shouted from behind.

But it was too late.

A terrifying aura rose from Anderson's body, and he roared fiercely, launching an incredibly ferocious punch at the charging Yan Qiyue!

BOOM~~!!

Yan Qiyue had no way to dodge; blocking with his knife, he was sent flying. A large amount of blood spurted out in mid-air, and his body crashed into a building several kilometers away!

"Ahhh~~!!! Hehe~~!!!"

Anderson's roars turned into beast-like growls, and his clothes were torn apart.

The red robe originally looked had been quite big, but at this moment, his body swelled, making his muscles and veins bulge like a python. His bones thickened and grew, and the robe could no longer hold his body, becoming just rags hanging on him.

His facial bones creaked and grew, making him look horrifying. His mouth elongated, and sharp tusks emerged.

He spit out a red flame that went three or four meters away, his hands became sharp and destructive claws, and a thick tail appeared behind him.

"ROAR~~~!!!"

With a roar like a shockwave, everyone within 500 meters of him, whether they were on his side or Lin Zhen's side, was knocked down by the sonic wave, clutching their heads and bleeding from their orifices!

"My god, what kind of monster is this?!" someone looked up at Anderson, who had grown to seven or eight meters tall and looked like a demon, unsure of what the creature before them was.

Lin Zhen's eyebrows moved slightly: "Is this… a Mutated Beast Gene Fluid injection recipient? It's… the aura of a Galaxy Beast!"

Inside the Dimensional Universe, many people watching this scene were stunned.

Many people knew about the Star River Giant Beast Alliance and the Mutant Beast Gene Fluid injection.

Both the Mutant Beast Gene Fluid and the Galaxy Beast Gene Fluid Injections had high safety and reliability factors.

Because when choosing an injection recipient, they would undergo many tests to determine if the person was suitable for gene injection.

Even those who failed didn't have serious consequences because they would find out early if the person was suitable and immediately stop the process if they weren't.

Anderson, on the other hand, looked like a complete failure.

Within the Dimensional Universe, Han Sha and Jie Li were both dumbfounded by Anderson's transformation.

"This… This is a Galaxy Beast Gene Fluid Injection failure!"

"It's really a Galaxy Beast gene, my god! How could someone in the Sanjiang Star Domain have injected Galaxy Beast genes without us knowing about it?"

"I don't know, but it seems Anderson isn't entirely a failure. He has… Beast Transformed!"

"Yes, that's right! He has Beast Transformed! There are people who have successfully Beast Transformed into Galaxy Beasts. This person can no longer be considered a human; he is half a Galaxy Beast!"

Beast Transformation, which was also a form of failure, was actually aimed at strengthening the body without any side effects, whether it was Galaxy Beast Gene Fluid or Mutated Beast Gene Fluid injections.

Although the Beast Transformation may have reached the goal of strengthening the body, the person's reason will be lost with the transformation, eventually becoming a monster without the extraordinary power of Galaxy Beasts and ending up being eliminated by others.

Although he couldn't be compared to a Galaxy Beast after the Beast Transformation, his body was much stronger than before.

After Anderson's Beast Transformation, his strength exceeded the limits of the Constant Star Stage, making him comparable to those in the Black Hole Period!

Even a martial artist in the Black Hole Period wouldn't outperform him physically.

"It's over! I didn't expect him to be a Beast Transformer. Although their achievements are limited, no one on Earth is a match for him now, not even Lin Zhen."

"Damn it! If we had known, we would have gone to Earth earlier. If Lin Zhen dies, we'll lose a valuable prospect."

"Can we still make it if we take a lightspeed spaceship now?"

"It's too late. It would take at least a few hours for us to get there, and by then, Anderson would have turned Earth into ruins!"

Han Sha and Jie Li both leaned back, feeling extremely dejected.

Translator: 549690339

Han Sha and the others were right. After transforming into a beast, Anderson indeed had an explosive increase in his powers, now comparable to a Martial Artist in the Black Hole period.

After punching Yan Qiyue away, Anderson roared, eager to kill anyone who came near him.

"All of you, get out of the way! Find your own opponents, leave this one to me!"

At that moment, Lin Zhen couldn't rely on anyone else. He had to stop Anderson; he had to kill him.

If he didn't die, Earth will be doomed!

Lifting the Cliff Corner Spear in his hand, he ruthlessly aimed at one of Anderson's eyes.

Whoosh~~!!

A huge palm brought a burst of exploding air towards him. Its speed actually surpassed Lin Zhen's attack speed, so all Lin Zhen could do was block with his spear!

"Bang!"

Hit by Anderson's giant palm, Lin Zhen was knocked away, just like Yan Qiyue earlier.

His body was like a cannonball being shot out, crashing towards the distance at a roaring speed.

Luckily, Lin Zhen still had the Lightning Wings. Even while his body was out of control, the wings kept flapping, shedding the powerful impact. After being sent a kilometer away, he finally managed to stop.

Spinning the Cliff Corner Spear in mid-air, he smashed an energy ball onto it, Thunder Kill!

Now, Lin Zhen had already mastered the atomic power of light and electricity. Its power was now many times stronger than before.

The dazzling power of light and electricity swirled at the tip of his spear. Lin Zhen, from a kilometer away, aimed the spear at Anderson.

Teleport!

The next second, Lin Zhen abruptly appeared behind Anderson.

"Take this!"

Lin Zhen roared, the Thunder Kill burst from the spear, stabbing fiercely at Anderson's back!

Invincible!

Slurp!!!!

Blood splattered as Lin Zhen's Cliff Corner Spear entered Anderson's body, but it had only penetrated less than half a foot!

The light and electricity were whirring around the wound on Anderson, damaging it and using all its power to destroy his muscle tissue.

The violent Thunder Kill made the muscles in Anderson's back slightly black and charred, but it wasn't fatal. These muscles had powerful healing capabilities, so the Thunder Kill didn't cause any fatal injuries.

"Roar! Lin Zhen, die!"

Anderson reacted with some pain and abruptly turned around, his giant claws slashing violently.

"Clang clang!"

Two successive hits to Lin Zhen's Cliff Corner Spear brought enormous power from above, just like hammering a nail; Lin Zhen's feet were driven into the ground.

Two more furious blows sent Lin Zhen crashing down into the earth, out of sight.

"Lin Zhen~~!!!"

All those who cared for Lin Zhen shouted out at that moment.

At that moment, Anderson's long tongue, like a machine gun, began to wildly attack the ground, like a long spear, stabbing sharply down!

"Pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu!!!!"

Dust was flying all over the ground with speed so fast that it was hard to see.

Swish!

The tongue retracts back, with some blood on it, Anderson, in pride, licked his lips, "Lin Zhen, you'll make a good dinner for me."

Whoosh! Anderson violently shoveled into the ground with his large palm, revealing a large clump of earth.

The earth was held in his palm, but it suddenly exploded, the earth forming into sharp spikes, violently aiming at Anderson's face!

Instinctively, Anderson closed his eyes. The earthen spikes all fell on his face, but all of them broke without exception!

In the center of the earth, there was a wound on Lin Zhen's shoulder, inflicted by Anderson's tongue, but he ignored it. He sprung up, the Seven Stars Knife transformed into light and aimed straight for Anderson's orifices!

"Roar roar!"

A wave of sound emitted from Anderson's throat, the Seven Stars Knife in mid-air was attacked by the sound wave and lost its force, wobbling as it fell.

Lin Zhen had no time to care about the Seven Stars Knife right now. He arrived above Anderson's head, grasped the spear in both hands, used all his strength, and his Star Power exploded to its limit. He viciously stabbed down at his Tian Ling (The top of his head)!

"Yah yah roar!"

With the power of a Satellite Level 6 star, Lin Zhen pushed the spear to its limits. Elements rampaged on the Cliff Corner Spear, a purple aura appeared, and under its invincible support, the spear finally stabbed in!

However, the process was extremely slow, Lin Zhen was gritting his teeth so forcefully that blood was coming out. He was inch by inch driving the Cliff Corner Spear deeper!

If he could pierce through Anderson's Tian Ling, he could get the elemental power to shred his brain.

Anderson roared, his huge hand swung again, wanting to swipe away Lin Zhen above his head.

Lin Zhen's body once again teleported suddenly in mid-air, this time only five meters high, barely avoiding Anderson's palm. The next moment, he rapidly fell downwards, his foot stomping hard onto the tail of the spear once again!

"Puff!"

The spear further descended about a foot, nearly impaling Anderson's brain!

Anderson roared again, his palms waving wildly forcing Lin Zhen to back off once more.

Lin Zhen intended to repeat his previous move, teleporting away and then returning to give another ruthless stomp. If he succeeded, victory was certain.

However, Anderson swiftly lifted his head, opened his gaping mouth, nearly biting Lin Zhen in one bite.

Barely escaping in the nick of time, Lin Zhen saw Anderson yank the Cliff Corner Spear from his head. Anderson faced him with the spear now used as a dagger, furiously rushing at Lin Zhen.

Initially somewhat unprepared for Lin Zhen's flexible and varying approach to battle, Anderson found himself at somewhat of a disadvantage, but now he was in a furious state. Every hit he made was powerful. Lin Zhen could no longer withstand an attack head-on, he could only quickly flee.

He didn't dare flee into the crowd, so he exerted strength underfoot and rose into the air.

Anderson's massive body rapidly chased after him. It was here that Lin Zhen discovered that even with the acceleration of his Lightning Wings, Anderson was surprisingly getting closer.

"This isn't working. This sky is vast, there's no geographical advantage to be taken. Anderson has Galaxy Beast genes, flying is an instinct for him. I can't stay here, I need to go down."

Lin Zhen looked down, took a sharp turn to dodge Anderson's oncoming claws and dived toward the ground.

The two men, one pursuing the other, quickly vanished from everyone's sight.

The battle on the field didn't stop because of the fierce fight between Lin Zhen and Anderson. After Lin Zhen's several precision attacks, the opposing experts had dwindled in numbers.

Moreover, Yan Qiyue reemerged on the battlefield after briefly resting his wounds. With his participation, the invaders finally couldn't withstand them.

Under the combined forces of Lin Zhen's subordinates and the Earth Warriors, an onslaught of fierce counterattacks ensued. Lin Zhen had told them not to show mercy to these people. They didn't need captives, they should slaughter them all.

From advantage to disadvantage, from disadvantage to collapse, the Tianhe Empire's morale was extremely low after Diana's death. They had hoped Anderson could save them.

But now Anderson was nowhere to be seen, as he was pursuing Lin Zhen. Even if he were to kill Lin Zhen, they feared they, as soldiers, would not live to see it.

The intense battle lasted half an hour. When Chen Fenglie's Sword Domain slain their last enemy, the battlefield finally calmed.

However, no one was in the mood to celebrate because they all knew that the battle wasn't over yet!

Only when Anderson was killed, could this battle for Earth be considered truly finished. If Anderson was still alive, they were doomed.

"Quick! Go to Sky City, use its global scanning feature, find Anderson and Lin Zhen, we need to know their battle situation."

Chen Fenglie shouted aloud, and everyone swarmed toward Sky City.

With these pirates who were familiar with the ship's capabilities, controlling the aircraft was easy. They quickly located the two most active life forms on Earth.

They were significantly different in size, and they were Lin Zhen and Anderson.

"Use the Sky Eye system, activate global satellite imaging!"

"It's activated… The footage is coming through."

"There they are! They are in the Antarctic Icefield now!"

In the blurred image, amidst the heavy snow in the Antarctic, two people are speeding between icebergs, like two of the fastest fighter jets performing stunts. Lin Zhen was trying his best to evade Anderson's pursuit by using the crevices of the icebergs.

Anderson, however, was barging ahead with a thunderous momentum. His large figure made it less flexible to turn than Lin Zhen, but his formidable strength could overcome any obstacles. It only slightly affected his speed, but catching up to Lin Zhen wasn't easy.

"They've left Antarctica; they're now underwater in the Indian Ocean!"

Though they were underwater, two massive waves on the sea reflect their high speed, like two aircraft carriers underwater causing the effect of supersonic submarines.

After rushing underwater for about ten minutes, they reached the northern coast of the Indian Ocean and landed on the Indian Peninsula.

The satellite showed that both of them raced across South Asia and ended up in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Trapped between the deep mountains of the Himalayan range, Lin Zhen was still trying his best to maneuver and hide. Nevertheless, everyone could see that their distance was getting closer and closer.

A flash passed through the range; Anderson was like a bulldozer crushing the dangerous peak of the Himalayan Mountain, including the highest peak, Mount Everest.

"Not good. Lin Zhen can't run away at this rate …" Yan Qiyue stood in front of the big screen, his expression extremely grave.

"Why does Lin Zhen keep running? Isn't fighting this monster sooner or later inevitable?" Chen Fenglie asked in confusion.

"I can't really explain it, but I can feel that the final battle is getting closer."

"Where do you think Lin Zhen will choose to fight?" An Bihuai asked.

"Definitely not here. Lin Zhen is too kind to risk putting us in danger. I guess he might finally lead this creature into space." Qing Xu speculated.

Many people agreed with Qing Xu's guess, but they didn't want Lin Zhen to face this monster alone.

Suddenly, a crisp female voice rang out.

The speaker was Su Mingyue.

"There's no need to guess. Lin Zhen will definitely return here. This will be the final battleground."

"Why do you think so, Miss Su?" Yan Qiyue turned his head and asked.

"Because I … have a bad feeling." As Su Mingyue spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, as if she had sensed something.

Translator: 549690339

Su Mingyue's guess was correct. After taking Anderson around the world, Lin Zhen finally flew back to Hua Xia's Capital Base City.

When Lin Zhen landed in the square that was still filled with smoke, Anderson slowly followed.

Anderson, who had chased Lin Zhen almost around the entire planet, figured out that Lin Zhen didn't plan to run anymore.

Taking large strides, Anderson walked forward a few steps, lowered his head and sneered at Lin Zhen in front of him.

"Hehehe! Lin Zhen, why aren't you running anymore?"

"Because there's no need to run anymore."

"I think you just can't run anymore. You should have realized this earlier. I have consumed the Galaxy Beast Gene Fluid, so flying is my strong suit. Running to space wouldn't help at all."

"Anderson, I want to ask you a question."

"Do you have any last words to leave behind? If you're trying to beg for mercy for your fellow humans, don't bother. Today, everyone on this planet will become my dinner!"

As Anderson spoke, he ground his teeth a few times, revealing a hideous smile.

"What I want to ask is, your family seems quite wealthy, having two light-speed spacecraft. Aren't you afraid of others coveting them?"

Anderson immediately became vigilant, sensing that someone was recording, and quickly clarified, "Lin Zhen, don't spout nonsense. Our family only has one light-speed spacecraft. Do you think light-speed spacecraft are as plentiful as radishes and cabbages?"

"Oh~~!!"

Lin Zhen replied with a prolonged tone: "Well then, my question is answered."

"Now you can prepare to die, but don't worry, I'll be sending everyone else on this planet to join you soon."

Anderson's claws clenched, flashing with chilling light, he was ready to strike.

However, he ultimately failed to unleash his attack. Because he saw Lin Zhen's realm beginning to skyrocket!

This Satellite Level 6 shrimp had his realm soaring once more, climbing from Satellite Level 6 to Satellite Level 7!

"What? A breakthrough during a battle? How did you manage that?"

Lin Zhen didn't answer him, but his momentum kept soaring. Soon, he climbed from Satellite Level 7 to Satellite Level 8!

"How could you advance two levels in one go? That's impossible!" Anderson's eyes widened in disbelief.

But it wasn't over yet. Lin Zhen's power continued to rise, and his Star Power circulated within him. A faint layer of starlight enveloped his body, intensifying his momentum.

Satellite Level 9!

This time, not only Anderson was exclaiming, but everyone aboard the Black Pearl was as well.

They had seen breakthroughs and even breakthroughs during battles, but they had never seen anyone rise three levels in a row on the battlefield!

Yet Lin Zhen managed to do it, advancing all the way to the peak of Satellite Level 9 and stopping just before entering the Planet Stage!

After advancing three levels, Lin Zhen's momentum had reached a pinnacle.

"Anderson, you consumed Genetic Fluid to forcibly increase your power, and now I've leveled up too. Let's have another go, shall we?"

The fierce light in Anderson's blood-red eyes shone: "Lin Zhen, don't think that going from Satellite Level 6 to 9 makes you invincible. Your mere three-level increase means nothing to me. It can't change your fate."

Anderson was still holding Lin Zhen's Cliff Corner Spear. Lin Zhen glanced at it, suddenly raised his hand, and a planet formed above Anderson's head!

After entering Satellite Level 9, Lin Zhen's Star Power was even stronger. Even without using his domain, he completed a planet in less than 0.2 seconds!

Boom~~!!!

The planet exploded above Anderson's head. He had been prepared for this, and quickly curled his back, now covered with scales, to avoid most of the shockwaves. The remaining shockwaves hit his scales, causing little damage.

"Lin Zhen, you shouldn't struggle in vain…. Ah!"

As he was talking, Lin Zhen raised his hand. A force of gravity enveloped his area, forcibly taking back his Cliff Corner Spear!

"Looking for death!"

Anderson pounced, and another space rift formed.

The large body was difficult to evade. Lin Zhen's hidden move, the spatial cut, directly severed Anderson's arm, leaving only a bit of flesh connecting it!

Anderson screamed in pain, quickly grabbed his arm, and tried to reattach it.

Flesh regenerated rapidly, and the Galaxy Beast's powerful regenerative ability was displayed.

"This Anderson's Galaxy Beast gene is similar to some kind of lizard. It has a strong regenerative ability. It won't be easy to kill."

Lin Zhen thought to himself, but he didn't hesitate for a moment. He instantly teleported in front of Anderson. "Anderson, let's see who's stronger again!"

At this moment, Lin Zhen's pinnacle momentum exploded.

Under the enveloping surge of Star Power, Lin Zhen's Cliff Corner Spear was pushed to its limit!

The Sea Treading, empowered by the Invincibility add-on, unleashed powerful attacks that relentlessly suppressed the injured Anderson.

"No way! Is there still hope for a reversal?"

"This Sun Lord is truly amazing. Advancing three levels on the battlefield. Was he suppressing his true power before?"

"Defeating a Black Hole Period powerhouse using Satellite Level Peak strength. Is this what they call genius?"

"I hope Lin Zhen can win. If he does and returns to our Blue Bay Star someday, I will definitely marry him."

People in the Dimensional Universe were watching this great battle, all closely following the final outcome.

Now, it seemed that Lin Zhen had the advantage.

Only Han Sha and Jie Li doubted that Lin Zhen could win.

"Lin Zhen has the advantage now, but the body of a Galaxy Beast after Beast Transformation is just too strong. Lin Zhen's advantage can't turn into a winning situation."

"That's right, he can't inflict a fatal blow on Anderson. As long as Anderson recovers, he'll be in danger."

"I think so too, but Han Sha, have you noticed that Lin Zhen's physical strength seems to be pretty strong too? He took a few hits from Anderson, but he doesn't show any signs of injury, and the wound on his shoulder that was pierced by Anderson's tongue has healed."

Han Sha carefully observed for a while: "That's true, could it be…? Is this not Lin Zhen's real body?"

The two looked at each other, feeling a flash of insight in their eyes!

Lin Zhen grew more and more alarmed as the fight continued. He relied on the power of rising three levels in a row to suppress Anderson for a while, but this was definitely not a long-term solution.

Anderson's absolute strength was at the Black Hole Period, and the gap between them was too wide. Lin Zhen's Invincible Breaker could hardly inflict fatal damage on Anderson, after all, he was a human, not a puppet, and knew how to dodge vital points.

His body covered with scales as hard as metal, immune to blades and spears, the minor injuries Lin Zhen inflicted on him were almost negligible.

His arm was about to be healed, and by then, Lin Zhen would be in trouble.

Lin Zhen looked back at Sky City during the battle.

He felt that there were people there, and everyone was in Sky City.

That was the hope of Earth. If he died, these people would definitely not survive either.

"You must live! Otherwise, everything I've done before will be meaningless."

Lin Zhen turned back, a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Not good! The final moment is about to come!" Su Mingyue suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, staring intently at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's parents and An Ning were also watching the battlefield nervously.

Hua Xia Martial Artists like Yan Qiyue and Chen Fenglie started to sweat in their palms.

Lin Zhen's pirates became anxious too. They were Lin Zhen's slaves, and if Lin Zhen died, they would die immediately as well.

All the martial artists around the world couldn't help but start praying. At this moment, they realized the importance of Lin Zhen to Earth…

"Hahaha! My arm is healed, Lin Zhen! It's all over!"

Anderson waved his arms, which had been restored.

Instead of retreating, Lin Zhen charged forward quickly.

Anderson swung his claw to attack Lin Zhen.

Teleport!

Lin Zhen suddenly teleported behind Anderson.

Anderson's back was covered in scales, with no vital points to attack.

So Anderson didn't even look back, and his huge tail swung up, directly whipping toward Lin Zhen's body!

Lin Zhen spread his hands, holding the Cliff Corner Spear horizontally in front of Anderson's neck, his body erupting with Star Power, and his arms exerting force: "Yah~~!!!"

"Gurgle!!!"

The spear was stuck tightly around Anderson's neck, making it impossible for him to break free.

"Lin Zhen, you're seeking death! You think you can strangle me like this? My tail can crush you into a pulp!"

The tail slammed heavily into Lin Zhen's back, producing a dull thud!

Blood immediately oozed from the corner of Lin Zhen's mouth, but he didn't make a sound, and the Light Annihilation flew out of him.

This weapon had now advanced to the realm of Artifacts. With a flash of light, Light Annihilation transformed into a long rope, tying Anderson and Lin Zhen tightly together!

"Rise!" Lin Zhen's Star Power erupted, lifting Anderson's massive body into the air and heading straight for the dark clouds in the sky.

"Lin Zhen, what are you doing? Do you want to take me to space? You think this ridiculous rope can hold me for long?" Anderson's tail kept whipping Lin Zhen's back, trying to break free from the Light Annihilation.

"Anderson, do you know which star system the Tianhe Empire is in?" Lin Zhen asked an unrelated question.

"Nonsense, the Milky Way!"

"Good, today I'll take you to see the magnificent Milky Way!"

"What nonsense! I'll eat you alive soon!"

Lin Zhen ignored Anderson's struggle and rushed straight into the sky. As people watched nervously, he disappeared into the clouds.

The next second, Anderson saw a shocking scene.

He saw a Galaxy Domain.

Lin Zhen led Anderson headfirst into the Galaxy Domain.

There were planets everywhere! A galaxy spanned the entire domain, just like the Milky Way above!

"This is a Domain, those stars are about to explode! You… you're crazy! You're tied to me, you want to die together with me?"

"Hehe! Don't flatter yourself. Isn't your Galaxy Beast body powerful? Then try the feast I've prepared for you. Let you appreciate the beauty of a Galaxy Explosion!"

"Explode with the stars! Tianhe… Starburst!!"

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Celebration Time!

Translator: 549690339

Several years later, when the young people asked the older generation about the battle where the Sun Lord Lin Zhen defended Earth and how he killed the beast-transformed Anderson, the answer from the people of Earth was essentially the same.

"It was the grandest of fireworks!"

People looked up at the sky, and above the black clouds, small planets exploded one by one, pushing the clouds away like a torn sky curtain and revealing the colorful energy elements as the most beautiful fireworks.

Lin Zhen's avatar was tightly bound to Anderson, ignoring the huge tail whipping from behind. With the Cliff Corner spear around Anderson's neck, there was nowhere for him to hide.

Anderson's scaly body began to break down amidst the energy currents.

His body turned charred, then bled, then the scales shattered, exposing the flesh, and the bones cracked! His internal organs were damaged!

"Ahhhh~~~!!!"

Amidst the huge explosions, Anderson screamed miserably, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.

He couldn't understand how Lin Zhen had set up such a trap here.

He had seen this kind of Starburst before; Lin Zhen had used it to kill 12 Planet Stage opponents. However, there were nearly 1,000 stars condensed here, which obviously couldn't have been done in a short time.

Moreover, Lin Zhen had still made a breakthrough during the battle, rising three levels. When did he find the time to condense the stars here?

As each star exploded, emitting dazzling light, powerful energy shockwaves caused both of them to tumble through the air like tattered cloth.

Dark blood oozed from various parts of Anderson's body and flowed from his mouth.

He knew he was going to die, and that he would die in this obscure Solar System, on this small Earth, and in the hands of Lin Zhen, whom he never took seriously.

At this moment, all his lofty ambitions and thoughts were gone. The only thing that could comfort him a little was that he was taking Lin Zhen with him to the grave.

"Cough, cough! Lin Zhen, you're already dead…you're dead, right? I…I've completed my mission."

Thinking that Lin Zhen had already been killed by the power of the planetary explosions behind him, he didn't expect Lin Zhen to reply.

"You're not dead yet, so why would I be dead!"

Anderson's pupils dilated instantly. He could hardly understand how Lin Zhen could still be alive when his body, optimized with Galaxy Beast Gene Fluid, couldn't withstand the force.

Was Lin Zhen made of iron?

Even if he were made of iron, he should have been reduced to ashes by now!

But Anderson no longer had the strength to turn his head and take a look. With a series of exploding planets flying past, he seemed to see a faint figure through the intense light and flames; Lin Zhen was sitting there at a corner of the starry sky.

It was the birthplace of the stars, and the Starburst was launched by him!

"Two…two Lin Zhens…it turned out to be an avatar…such a strong avatar, uh!"

Boom!~~~!

The intense light swallowed his body completely, and his already severely damaged body couldn't withstand this round of Starburst, as violent explosions tore it into pieces!

Behind him, Lin Zhen's body was also heavily injured.

However, he didn't break apart like Anderson. A white crown was on his head, enveloped by a holy light, which continuously repaired his body.

"Whew! It worked!"

"You think your body is strong? Mine was forged by Xiao Nuan, and its strength is no worse than yours!"

"Besides, I have the Star Sky Crown, with powerful healing abilities you can't match."

Lin Zhen waved his hand and fierce flames swept through the Galaxy Domain, reducing Anderson's body to ashes and eliminating any chance of resurrection.

Having finished all this, Lin Zhen finally took a deep breath.

"Finally…it's over!"

Looking up at the sky, Lin Zhen felt for the first time that this piece of sky was so beautiful.

Everything he had done since his rebirth finally paid off at this moment.

His real body appeared in the air and then disappeared again. Concealed by the dark clouds and the Galaxy Domain, people still couldn't see his real body.

With a wave of the Cliff Corner spear in his hand, a gust of Wind Element energy swept past, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away.

Feeling the beautiful surroundings, Lin Zhen gently flapped his Lightning Wings and slowly landed on the ground.

At this moment, people in Sky City had all come out.

Without clamor or noise, they conscientiously stood together, just silently watching as Lin Zhen landed and slowly walked towards them.

In the still blood-stained battlefield, a handsome young man walked so slowly that people couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration.

There was complete silence on the scene until Lin Zhen came to the front of the crowd, smiled, and raised his arm to shout: "We won!"

There was about a second of silence, and then people let out a deafening cheer!

"We won!"

"We won~~~!!!"

"Long live the Lord~~~~!!!!"

"Oh~~~!!!"

Those hiding in underground bunkers also surged out like a tide at this moment.

Everyone went crazy, celebrating wildly.

Men excitedly punched each other's chests, while women embraced passionately.

No one knew who grabbed someone next to them and started kissing wildly, this intense way of celebrating spread like a plague, infecting the entire scene in an instant.

Acquaintances and strangers alike hugged each other tightly, jumping and kissing as they went.

"Bastard! How dare you kiss this lady so hard!"

"Ahhhhh!! You bit my tongue! Just wait until this day is over, and I'll settle the score with you!"

"Oh my god, my mouth is numb! How many people have kissed me by now?"

"Yuck! Why did a man kiss me? You filthy pirate, Shac! Even if I were Ronnie, you'd still kiss me. I wanted to take advantage of the passionate Earth girls. Get lost! Captain Jason, come catch this pervert!"

Intense cheers echoed through the sky, and champagne, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, was taken out and sprayed everywhere.

Lin Zhen won, Hua Xia won, and the people of Earth won!

Everyone who stood with Lin Zhen won; they won the victory of this battle, and with it, an infinite possible future.

It was not just Hua Xia; people from all major base cities around the world celebrated this great victory in their own way.

All undamaged big screens lit up at the same time, broadcasting this moment synchronously around the world.

"Hey! We won, fellow Earthlings! This is the Ice City Base City of Hua Xia, the hometown of Sun Lord Lin Zhen. Welcome to the beautiful Ice City!"

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, I love you, I love this world! This is beautiful Rome. If you come, I'll take you on a tour of the Mediterranean scenery."

"Lord Lin Zhen, welcome to New Delhi! Those fools who didn't believe in you got what they deserved. The people here support you!"

"We are in the streets of Rio~ de~ Janeiro~. The streets are empty of people now. Lord, would you like to experience the samba dancing and barbecues here? There used to be a carnival in the old times. Now, we've decided this day shall be our carnival. Beautiful and passionate Brazilian girls are waiting for you! Hi! Girls, greet the Lord quickly!"

The camera turns to the streets of Rio, where a sea of beautiful women is waving their arms wildly.

"Lin Zhen! I love you!"

"I love you~~~!!! Ahh!!"

The camera quickly zooms in, and countless flying kiss emojis seem to be flying out of the screen. The beautiful legs and waists are so enchanting.

"Seattle girls, will you lose to Brazilian girls? I've checked the Tianhe Empire's laws, and it's not a monogamous system! It's time to show your passion!"

The camera switches to the streets of Seattle in the United States, where white, black, and brown-skinned beauties are screaming wildly. Everyone is trying their best to show off their beauty. As the camera zooms in, several tiny pieces of lingerie are thrown into the air.

Between stretched hands and raised legs, the spring scenery is revealed. People's craziness is shocking.

"And us too, we want to marry the Lord! Don't we? When it comes to beauty, we Russian girls never lose!"

The camera keeps switching from one place to another: St. Petersburg, Egypt, Berlin, Demon Capital, Brasilia… Base cities everywhere are boiling with excitement.

Looking at the heated scenes on the big screens, Lin Zhen showed a heartfelt smile.

An Ning and Su Mingyue slowly approached Lin Zhen. Su Mingyue tilted her head and asked softly, "Lin Zhen… you still need time to practice martial arts, right? You'll be very busy, right?"

Lin Zhen laughed, "Yue'er, being so roundabout in doubting your future husband is asking for punishment."

"Ah! It was An Ning who asked me to ask you!" Su Mingyue's little trick was exposed, and she immediately covered her face with both hands, dragging An Ning down with her.

"Naughty girl! It's obviously you who wanted to ask more." An Ning laughed and patted Su Mingyue.

Looking at the two girlfriends' blooming smiles and the comforting expressions on their parents' faces behind them, Lin Zhen's heart felt warm.

At this moment, a group of martial artists, led by Yan Qiyue, slowly approached Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's gaze swept over each of their faces.

Yan Qiyue, Chen Fenglie, Gongsun Du, Dongfang Jun… even his old acquaintances Meng Dong, Zhao Liang, Jiang Huai, Li Changying, and Zhao Xiaoman… and many more. Almost everyone he knew was still there.

The martial artists looked at each other, and then bowed to Lin Zhen together.

"Lord! Thank you for your hard work!"

Lin Zhen did not speak, and the world fell silent for a moment.

Then, at this very moment, everyone in the world shouted with all their might, "Lord, thank you for your hard work!"

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Acquiring the Light-Speed Spaceship (3 updates)

Translator: 549690339

At this moment, Lin Zhen's prestige had reached its peak on Earth.

He walked around, chatting with people, especially Yan Qiyue, the hidden martial artist who had not appeared for hundreds of years. Having cultivated to the Constant Star Stage, his strength was very strong. If not for him, the outcome of today's battle might have been different.

People gathered around Lin Zhen, with laughter and joy filling the air, and the whole Earth seemed like an ocean of happiness.

However, no one noticed that the Black Pearl had quietly taken off into the sky, along with a few pirates who were piloting the spaceship.

"Oh! This looks like a great planet!"

"I like it there; I'll definitely visit if I have the chance."

"I think our planet's higher-ups should respond, making contact with Lord Lin Zhen earlier; after all, he's our lord too, right?"

"I wonder when the flight route to Earth will be open, I want to go on a trip."

Comments from within the Dimensional Universe kept pouring in, as the situation on Earth sparked their great interest.

Meanwhile, Earth citizens, whether rich or poor, began interacting with people from other planets.

Now that Lin Zhen has become a lord, he has the power to grant citizenship indefinitely within his territory. The people of Earth believed that their days of venturing into the stars were about to come.

"Speed up, faster!"

Lin Zhen's main body was inside the Black Pearl, directing his pirate subordinates as they sped towards space.

His goal was clear: Mount Olympus on Mars, the highest peak in the Solar System.

The pirates also understood the importance of the mission. The purpose of this trap web was to capture a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

Once Lin Zhen obtained a spaceship capable of light speed, each pirate would have the opportunity to pilot it. For pirates who wandered among the stars for years, a light-speed spaceship was their ultimate dream.

So without the need for Lin Zhen to mobilize them, each pirate did their job, accelerating the Black Pearl to its maximum speed without taking any detours.

Lin Zhen was also silently calculating time. It would take about six hours to reach Mars, plus the gaps between several wormholes. They should arrive at the wormhole leading to the Kirin Constellation's Demon Moon Star in seven and a half hours.

And as for the light-speed spaceship, it would also arrive in eight hours. When Anderson died, the spaceship would automatically return. He had to race against time.

After six hours of flight, the Black Pearl entered Mount Olympus.

Through the wormhole, they arrived at Aurora Star.

Now the area around the Poison Mist Mountain was Lin Zhen's territory, where even Aurora Star's satellites were forbidden to explore. So, without any scruples, Lin Zhen ascended into the sky again, heading straight for Aurora Star's satellites.

Half an hour later, he entered a wormhole from the satellite, then appeared on Jade Star's satellite.

Without any pause, he went straight for the wormhole leading to the Kirin Constellation.

When he emerged on the other side, he found himself in an unfamiliar starry sky.

"Hurry! Lock onto the other wormhole entrance of the Demon Moon Star and go there!"

The Black Pearl raced through the sky and finally arrived at the wormhole entrance when seven hours and twenty-five minutes had passed.

"Calculate the appearing location of the other spaceship, keep a certain distance, and ensure a successful capture."

Lin Zhen issued commands while the pirates worked nervously.

After a quick calculation by the control panel's computer, the result was out.

"Master, it has been calculated. The Permanent Crystal Spaceship will appear 0.1 star miles away in twenty-eight minutes. The best capture point is ten thousand kilometers ahead."

"Get there immediately and prepare."

The Black Pearl slowly advanced, and after reaching the capture point, the Trap Web was ready.

Everyone was nervously waiting.

As the time passed minute by minute, there was almost no error between the time calculated by the Black Pearl and that of the radar showing a light point.

"It's here! The Permanent Crystal Spaceship has appeared, decelerating from sub-light speed… a thousand times the speed of sound… five hundred times the speed of sound…!"

"I see it, I see it! It's right there!"

"It's at ten times the speed of sound now, Master!"

Lin Zhen stared intently at the spaceship made of incredibly sturdy Permanent Crystal as it slowly glided through cosmic space.

This spaceship represented enormous wealth. The Anderson family must have gone through years of hard work and accumulation to possess it. And now, it had finally arrived before Lin Zhen.

"Release it!"

Ultimately, the automatic return system was just a system, lacking human intelligence and not alert to danger. When the spaceship passed below the Black Pearl, the Trap Web appeared!

The huge alloy net firmly covered the spaceship, only then the spaceship's warning system was triggered, and it immediately attempted to accelerate to light speed to escape.

However, this time it did not succeed. With the Black Pearl trailing behind, its acceleration to light speed failed.

Failure meant no more resistance.

Lin Zhen suddenly stood up from his chair, unable to conceal his excitement.

A Permanent Crystal lightspeed spaceship! One of them is worth a hundred billion Kirin Coins!

These were Kirin Coins, the currency of advanced cosmic civilizations. With an exchange rate of one to a thousand Sanjiang Coins, that's equivalent to ten trillion Sanjiang Coins!

How many Tianhe Coins could ten trillion Sanjiang Coins be converted into? And how much Earth currency could it be converted into?

Even Lin Zhen's wit couldn't calculate this number. In any case, the price of this spaceship might be more than the combined value of his territories.

"Ronnie, take a few men with me to check out our new spaceship."

Ronnie was the only pirate leader who came to see Lin Zhen, and at the moment he was extremely excited. He immediately called a few pirates and left the Black Pearl.

When they came to the hatch of the Permanent Crystal spaceship, they were stumped by the door.

"Master, we have a problem. The hatch is locked with a password, and we can't open it."

Lin Zhen frowned slightly: "Is there no way to crack it? Aren't you interstellar pirates all lock-picking experts?"

"It's too difficult. Although we have picked numerous locks before, we have never robbed such high-end goods. The password for this spaceship is thirty-six characters long. To crack it…maybe we'll have a one percent chance of success after ten thousand years."

"So there's no way to get in? Is it possible to open it from the inside?"

"Of course you can open it from the inside, but this spaceship is made entirely of Permanent Crystal. It can't be opened forcibly, unless we have the power of a Star Domain Stage."

Lin Zhen was speechless. A Star Domain Stage was the second level of the Triple Extreme Realm, where the Constant Star Stage upgraded to the Black Hole Stage, and after surviving the life-or-death breakthrough, it became the Star System Stage. In the entire Tianhe Empire, only Emperor Long Juetian was a Star System Term Expert.

For a Star Domain Stage, probably only the chairman had that strength within the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

"Is there really no other way?" Lin Zhen wasn't happy. If he went through a lot of trouble and all he got was a spaceship he couldn't open, what use would it be to him?

"Well… it's not impossible. We could purchase a simulation lock system which could open it. I know the unlocking system for a sub-light speed spaceship costs about ten billion Sanjiang Coins, but for a lightspeed spaceship, the price should be ten times higher."

"One hundred billion Sanjiang Coins…."

Lin Zhen was silent for a moment. He didn't have that much money now, but he had the hope of having it.

Seeing that Diana was so frantic searching for the World Stone in the Ancient God City and couldn't find it, if Lin Zhen could find it, it would be a potential fortune.

"Let's go back. We can't be away from Earth for too long, lest people conclude that we captured the lightspeed spaceship."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Zhen took the Permanent Crystal spaceship into the Dark Star Space.

Although the Permanent Crystal spaceship was relatively small inside, it was still comparable to an aircraft carrier, and very few space rings were capable of accommodating it.

However, Lin Zhen could do it. His already stable Dark Star Space was an incredibly large storage ring, as long as he was willing, he could even fit a small planet inside!

Watching Lin Zhen casually take away the lightspeed spaceship, the pirates were a little dumbfounded. Their master was indeed extraordinarily powerful.

Not only did Lin Zhen take the spaceship away, but he also took the Trap Web and returned to the Black Pearl with Ronnie and the others.

"No more delays! Head back immediately!"

Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, the Anderson family.

"Crack!"

A white jade teacup was smashed into powder, an old man's face turned pale green.

"What did you say? The Permanent Crystal Battleship has lost contact!"

"Yes, sir. We have received confirmed news. Not only has the young master died on Earth, but the Permanent Crystal spaceship has also disappeared near the wormhole of the Demon Moon Star, as if it has been captured by a Trap Web."

"Impossible! Our travel routes and times are confidential. How could the spaceship be intercepted by anyone? Do interstellar pirates have nothing better to do than lie in wait at a wormhole? Moreover, how many people in a low-level cosmic civilization like the Tianhe Empire would have the ability to capture a lightspeed spaceship?"

"Sir, your analysis is quite reasonable, but I'm just reporting a fact to you. Right now, the lightspeed spaceship has completely lost contact. It seems to have vanished from cosmic space, and we suspect it has been taken into a space ring. There's no trace of it to be found."

Old Anderson's eyebrows were trembling with rage, but he was still trying to calm himself down.

As a Late Black Hole Stage expert, he couldn't afford any significant emotional fluctuations, which would be detrimental to his cultivation.

Martial Artists in training, the Black Hole Period is a huge watershed. Cross it, and you will possess almost infinite life. Fail to cross it, and even the Constant Star will eventually face destruction.

After a while, his emotions were more stable.

However, his voice was still low: "Investigate! We absolutely cannot lose the Permanent Crystal spaceship! It is the most valuable treasure of our Anderson family, and we can't afford to lose it."

"But sir, where should we start searching?"

"Search all the insiders. Who knew about this trip to Earth? This incident was definitely done by someone who knew."

"Alright… What about the people of Earth? The mission target is called Lin Zhen. The employer is dead. Doesn't Lin Zhen count as an insider?"

"Does he have a motive?"

"He doesn't seem to have a strong motive. Demon Moon Star is too far away from Earth. Unless he also has a lightspeed spaceship, he doesn't have time to commit the crime."

fObject.keys(=f.NonNull,%22string,%22%x00-Readable).Old Anderson thought for a moment: "That makes sense. It's impossible for such a native planet to have a lightspeed spaceship. But we mustn't let our guard down. Therefore, investigate all insiders one by one according to the level of suspicion. As for Lin Zhen…let's put him last!"

Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Lin Zhen's Territory

Translator: 549690339

By the time the Black Pearl returned to Earth, a whole night had passed.

People's attention was not on the missing pirates, but on the night's revelry, which seemed to release all their suppressed emotions. When Lin Zhen returned, the whole world seemed quiet.

As Lin Zhen was about to summon some people to go to the Ancient God City, Chris sent a message.

"Master, there is someone in the Dimensional Universe looking for you. It's your friend Han Sha."

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment before entering the Dimensional Universe, feeling that Han Sha must have some big news for him.

They met in the VIP room of the Asura Arena. Han Sha and Jie Li were both present.

When they saw Lin Zhen's arrival, the two of them stood up to greet him.

"Hahaha! Welcome! Welcome, Sun Lord Lin Zhen! Congratulations on maintaining the integrity of your territory and expelling your enemies!"

Lin Zhen laughed and greeted the two Red Star Shuras. The three of them took their seats.

Jie Li was the first to express his amazement, "Lin Zhen, your growth speed is too fast. We once fought against Anderson at the Asura Arena, and I narrowly won. But that was before Anderson underwent beast transformation. I never imagined that you could defeat him in the real world even after his transformation."

"I was just lucky," Lin Zhen replied.

"Don't be modest, we all know that there is no luck in the world of martial artists." Jie Li waved his hand: "But today, we did not come to talk about this. We have more important things to discuss."

Han Sha looked into Lin Zhen's eyes and said, "Lin Zhen, have you ever heard of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance?"

Lin Zhen showed no surprise but simply nodded faintly, "I've heard a little."

"That's good. Then you should know how massive the Star River Giant Beast Alliance is. It's a huge organization that spans over 36,000 advanced cosmic nations. No single country within the entire universe can compare with the alliance. It's like comparing a giant to a dwarf."

"Martial artists can be trained with low barriers. As long as you're not too terrible, anyone can become a martial artist. But to join our alliance, only true geniuses have a chance."

Lin Zhen nodded, "Do you want me to join the alliance?"

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't seem to attach great importance to the matter, Jie Li hastily added, "Yes, the two of us are responsible for scouting all talents within the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation and absorbing the top talents into the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Lin Zhen, you are definitely a key candidate. Do you realize how difficult it is to join us and how many benefits you can gain?"

"Can I get genetic fluid?" Lin Zhen asked.

"That's right. If you agree to join, we will test your genes and decide what kind of genetic fluid to provide you. Once your body is strengthened by the genetic fluid, your combat power will absolutely double or even multiply many times!"

"So what do I need to do?" Lin Zhen knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, so it was better to ask clearly.

"It's simple. After you become one of us, we will assign you tasks. Although there are risks, the rewards are also very rich. However, we can't tell you the details of the tasks now, only after you agree."

Lin Zhen pondered for a while, "Gentlemen, you know I have just become a Lord, and there are many things to do in my hometown's planet. I don't even know the state of my territory yet. So, I think I should consider other matters after these issues have settled."

Han Sha and Jie Li glanced at each other, "We understand that you have many things to attend to, but we hope that this won't take too long."

"One year! I'll give you an answer in one year."

"Alright, we'll come to you again then."

The Black Pearl landed in front of the Ancient God City.

The secret passage to the fourth floor had been discovered. Lin Zhen followed the secret passage directly to the captain's room.

Exiting the captain's room, there was a vast desert outside.

The original pyramids that had stood in the desert had collapsed and were disassembled into a mess.

Ya Xuan, the hero who had driven the war fortress to collide with Sky City, was not dead. He had received Lin Zhen's warning early on and left.

Now he was standing beside Lin Zhen, explaining, "Master, look at this desert. I intentionally delayed and searched for the World Stone with my men. But we still dismantled all the pyramids. We tested every single stone, but we couldn't find the World Stone."

"Did you turn over every stone?"

"I guarantee you, every single one. There are no stones under this sand."

Lin Zhen walked slowly above the fourth floor of the Ancient God City, looking out at the endless yellow sand with no other colors in sight.

He reached out his hand, using gravity to draw a lump of yellow sand into the air, then let it dissipate in the air. Indeed, there were no stones.

After trying several times with the same result, Lin Zhen began to worry.

"Could it be that the World Stone isn't on the fourth floor, but on one of the other three floors?" Lin Zhen asked.

"That seems unlikely too. At first, there was a lot of evidence pointing to the World Stone being in the desert of this layer. However, Diana destroyed them all to prevent others from discovering it, so we haven't found the key yet."

"Alright, let me think about it. You continue to search here with them."

Lin Zhen left the pirates and returned to the Black Pearl.

He opened a map at the control panel. It was a territory map given to him by the Empire's Interior Ministry. Within one light-year of the Solar System, all life planets and wormholes in his domain were marked.

Although a one light-year radius seemed extensive, it was not that huge in the vast starry sky, especially regarding the number of life planets.

In the Sun Lord's territory, there were a total of twenty-one life planets. Eleven of them had technological civilization levels similar to Earth. Three of them had technology levels higher than Earth and between Earth and the Tianhe Empire. Additionally, two of them were in the ancient weapon age, two were in the primitive age, and three were in the initial stage of life.

"I have to visit all these territories. After becoming the Lord, the tax revenue from these planets will belong to me, which is a significant fortune."

However, there was a problem: Lin Zhen had to arrive for inspection first, and that required a lightspeed spacecraft. If you could not even reach your territory's planets, the emperors on those planets would not voluntarily give you the tax money.

"My battle with Anderson has already gone viral online, but none of the people within my domain have congratulated or surrendered to me. It seems they still don't believe I can reach their territory!"

Lin Zhen paced slowly inside the Black Pearl, not expecting these people to think so. To traverse a one light-year distance, it was virtually impossible to do so without a lightspeed spacecraft, especially since no wormholes had been found in this region of the starry sky.

Why should we fear you if you, as the Lord, can't even come to our place?

The Empire always turned a blind eye to such matters. They even took pleasure in the fact that lords had trouble managing their territories, as the tax revenue would then belong to the Empire.

Hence, cases where lords had territories but lacked actual leadership were quite common!

Lin Zhen logged into a Blue Bay Star forum through the Dimensional Universe.

Among all his territories, Blue Bay Star was the largest and most technologically advanced life planet.

The planet was roughly ten times the size of Earth, with a population of hundreds of billions.

Moreover, there were no Mutated Beasts causing trouble here. The cultivation civilization was quite advanced; although no Black Hole Period experts had appeared, Constant Star Stage experts were not uncommon on this planet.

After logging in, Lin Zhen found the members' attitudes towards him, their Lord, were not friendly.

In their eyes, only the people of the Blue Bay Star were capable of managing this region of space. Earthlings, who they saw as country bumpkins, definitely should not be their leaders.

Although Lin Zhen already demonstrated his abilities, they were not impressed by what they saw in the videos. Many started to boast online, and it even became a trend among the people of the Blue Bay Star.

"I heard our Lord is only in his twenties. Is he suitable to lead us?"

"He is only at Satellite Level 9. I would not obey him when I am at Planet Stage!"

"What a pity, this Lord cannot travel across the stars to come here. Otherwise, I, Cao Yang of Azure Dragon Holy Nation, would let him know what a real fight is!"

"In the world of Martial Artists, the strong are respected. The decision of the Empire was too hasty. We should suggest a more powerful Lord in the Dimensional Universe."

"Martial Artists from the Western White Tiger Holy Nation disagree! We challenge you!"

"Rubbish Lord, not worthy of our respect!"

After seeing a video of some so-called prince of the Azure Dragon Holy Nation tearing his portrait and urinating on it, Lin Zhen exited the Blue Bay Star forum.

"Those bastards, I will go to them eventually!"

Lin Zhen wanted to teach the Blue Bay Star people a lesson through the Dimensional Universe. However, that had no practical meaning. Without your presence, you had no deterrence, and no one would fear you.

"World Stone… How can I find it?" Lin Zhen muttered as he walked absent-mindedly, bumping into a soft body.

"Yue'er!"

"Lin Zhen, why are you so agitated? I called you, but you didn't hear me." Su Mingyue gently rubbed her chest as if Lin Zhen had hurt her when bumping into her.

Lin Zhen hurriedly apologized: "I was just too focused on thinking. Are you okay, Yue'er? Let me rub it for you."

"No need… What were you thinking?" Su Mingyue pushed away Lin Zhen's approaching hand and asked with blushing cheeks and blinking eyes.

"About something called the World Stone." Lin Zhen explained, not expecting Su Mingyue to have heard of the term World Stone.

"World Stone…?"

Sure enough, Su Mingyue was confused. She tilted her head and pondered for a moment: "Does World Stone mean 'a world in every grain of sand'."

"A world in every grain of sand…?"

Lin Zhen suddenly froze, and at that moment, he thought of a way to find the World Stone.

Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Getting Rich!

Translator: 549690339

Hearing Su Mingyue's unintentional words, Lin Zhen felt like he was suddenly enlightened.

Right! Who says the World Stone can only be a single stone?

Couldn't it be a grain of sand?

If it is a grain of sand, indeed, it would be the best disguise. Trying to find one unique grain of sand in a desert area with a radius of hundreds of miles, it would be a difficult task.

But Lin Zhen has a method now.

Because he has the Dark Star World!

The World Stone is a real world, and the Dark Star World is also a real world. They are not dimensional universes or parallel universes. These two real worlds cannot coexist with each other!

Lin Zhen moves his feet back and forth, turning in circles on the spot, muttering to himself.

"I got it, as long as I absorb all the sand in the desert into the Dark Star World, there will eventually be a grain that I can't take in, and that one will be the World Stone!"

Su Mingyue's eyes followed Lin Zhen for two circles before she couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "Lin Zhen, are you okay?"

Lin Zhen looked at his beautiful girlfriend in front of him and pulled her into his arms: "Thank you, Yue'er, you are truly my angel."

"What did I say that you need to thank me so much? Uh…"

The next moment Su Mingyue's small mouth was blocked by Lin Zhen's, as his hot tongue slipped in, making her lose strength at once.

A passionate kiss lasted for ten minutes until the beauty in his arms had no more strength to resist him, only then did Lin Zhen let go of his hands.

"Do you need me to massage you? It shouldn't hurt anymore, right?"

Su Mingyue weakly pushed away Lin Zhen's big hand, "No need, someone might see us."

"Alright, next time we'll find a place where no one can see us."

Lin Zhen smiled and thought for a while, "Yue'er, let's get married, you and me, and An Ning, the three of us. Although it's somewhat unfair to you guys, I really can't let go of any of you, I… "

"Don't say sorry."

Su Mingyue put her finger on Lin Zhen's lips, "My hope is to accompany you forever because I know that you are destined to be extraordinary. Compared to the decades of ordinary couples' lives, what's wrong with me being able to accompany you forever?"

Lin Zhen nodded and decided in his heart that once things stabilized, he would choose to get married.

An Ning and Su Mingyue, two outstanding women are willing to marry him, he should give them a future too.

All personnel have been evacuated from the fourth level of the Ancient God City.

Alone, Lin Zhen sat in mid-air, adjusting his breath. He felt that he was in his best state.

"To find the World Stone, I must absorb all the sand in the area. Let's start now."

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, raised his hand, and emitted a gravitational force.

The gravitational force of the Primordial Era's Dark Star was immense. As Lin Zhen lifted his hand, it was like a tornado descending from the sky!

Just like a whale sucking water, the yellow sand formed a sand column that shot up to the sky!

"Wind!"

With a thought, a fierce gale appeared along with the gravitational force. In an instant, the fourth level of the Ancient God City was filled with dust, yellow sand swirling, and a sandstorm emerged!

Huge amounts of sand were absorbed by the gravitational force and entered Lin Zhen's Dark Star World.

In order to absorb the yellow sand, Lin Zhen had even deliberately reserved a piece of land in the Dark Star World to serve as its desert.

Starting from one corner, Lin Zhen began the lengthy absorption process.

Under the combined effect of the gale and gravity, the sand layer gradually thinned.

After about several minutes, the sand was completely absorbed in an area with a range of several tens of meters. The metal surface of the Red Rose spaceship was revealed.

Lin Zhen looked around. Yellow sand was everywhere, and there was still much work left to do.

"I need to exert more force. I can't delay here too long."

Lin Zhen raised another hand, and a second gravitational force was emitted.

Two columns of yellow sand intertwined in the air like two yellow dragons soaring upwards. At the center of Lin Zhen's palm, a spatial crack emerged, and the yellow sand directly entered the Dark Star.

Using both hands simultaneously, his speed increased. Lin Zhen was like a flying machine, gliding slowly over the desert. The yellow sand rapidly decreased wherever he passed.

From morning to dusk, and from dusk to night, a new day began.

In one day's time, after Lin Zhen's hard work, one-tenth of the desert had been absorbed!

After a short break, Lin Zhen started his work on the second day.

"Like this, within ten days, I will definitely find the World Stone hidden in the desert!"

The events on Earth only caused some heat in Tianhe Empire but gradually faded away after a few days.

The people of the Empire had such rich leisure lives that countless major events happened in the vast Milky Way every day. After all, the matter of Earth was nothing more than a political change in a barren and backward place, not worth people's continued attention.

As for those planets belonging to Lin Zhen's territory, seeing that their lord could not even reach their territory to collect taxes through the dimensional universe, they were happy to be idle.

A lord who couldn't even reach his own territory was not worth respecting.

Now, only the people of the Anderson family were still paying attention to Lin Zhen.

"Sir, we have checked most of the people, and they have nothing to do with the disappearance of the speed-of-light spaceship."

"Are you sure you've checked them all?"

"We've checked them all. Actually, this matter is very easy to check. The people who knew about it basically died on Earth. When the young master went to Earth, the mission was not announced in the family. Even the people in the family didn't know where he went. If it wasn't for the problem on Earth, we wouldn't even know where he went."

"What about Lin Zhen? Have you checked him?" Old Anderson was a bit headache.

"We think Lin Zhen is not very suspicious. The location where the spaceship disappeared is too far from Earth, and he has been on Earth all the time without leaving, so we have not yet…"

"Don't overlook any clues. It doesn't matter that my son is dead, but the speed of light spaceship must not be lost. You can check Lin Zhen's purchase records in the Dimensional Universe to see if he has bought a Trap Web, and his pirate subordinates, whether they stayed on Earth during the time of the accident."rdquo;

"Yes, sir, we were a bit careless. We'll look into it now."rdquo;

The servant left, and Old Anderson slowly closed his eyes.

"Lin Zhen, I hope to God I don't find out it was you, or else I have a thousand ways to make you disappear completely!"

"Only one last piece of the desert left, we're gonna finish today!"

Looking at the remaining desert corner, Lin Zhen's heart was throbbing with excitement.

He didn't know if it was just his bad luck or if the World Stone was avoiding him, but after nine days of continuous work, he still hadn't found it. However, if the World Stone was still on this fourth level, it wouldn't be able to escape today.

Lin Zhen waved his hands, and gravity appeared once again. After nine days of hard work, he had become very familiar with the process.

Bit by bit, the yellow sand disappeared, and the desert continued to shrink….

By the time dusk arrived, the desert had shrunk to the size of a few square meters.

"It's the last bit of sand. I need to slow down."rdquo;

Lin Zhen used only one hand to apply gravity, absorbing the yellow sand bit by bit.

One square meter…

Fifty square centimeters….

Thirty square centimeters….

Ten square centimeters….

One square centimeter….

At this point, Lin Zhen descended from the sky. Instead of using gravity again, he took out a metal box and placed the last dozen or so grains of sand in it.

He gently picked up a grain, scanned it with his mental power, and then put the sand away.

"This one isn't it; there are fifteen left…"

"This one isn't it either. Five left…."

When only two grains remained, Lin Zhen felt that one of them seemed a bit hard to grasp.

He used his spiritual power to pick up the other grain and confirmed that it wasn't it.

At this point, there was only one grain of sand left in the entire desert.

It looked ordinary, and no different from the others, but in Lin Zhen's eyes, it represented supreme wealth!

In the interstellar world, wealth often equals power, and can accomplish many things.

His spiritual power slowly seeped in, enveloping the metal box and the yellow sand, before finally, still unsure, he transformed the Light Annihilation into a protective shield.

Ensuring that it was foolproof, Lin Zhen reached out his hand again, preparing to grab the grain of sand!

"Swish!"

At this moment, the seemingly ordinary grain of sand attempted to break free and leave!

"Where do you think you're going?"

With a move of Lin Zhen's mind, the sky-blue spiritual power emerged, firmly locking it in place!

The metal box was shattered instantly. Lin Zhen could feel the immense power, the power of a small world!

The Light Annihilation shield was almost cracked by the grain of sand, but just as the sand was about to break free, Lin Zhen's mind shifted.

Foldable Space!

Two strands of space power intertwined, and Lin Zhen immediately entered the extradimensional space!

The rampaging World Stone finally lost its momentum at this moment.

No matter how powerful it was, it couldn't break through the Space Barrier to return to the world of the Ancient God City.

Lin Zhen took advantage of this opportunity to use his powerful spiritual power to completely expel the World Stone's resistance.

The so-called resistance was a layer of protection around the World Stone, a faint halo, possibly left by its original owner.

No matter how powerful its original owner had been, they were dead now and couldn't compare to Lin Zhen.

The sky-blue spiritual power was indeed unstoppable. After three attempts, the halo completely disappeared, and the World Stone calmed down.

Lin Zhen held his breath and slowly reached out his hand to grasp the grain of sand.

The Foldable Space disappeared, and he returned to the Ancient God City.

His spiritual power slowly penetrated the World Stone, which Lin Zhen had been looking forward to for a long time. He was even worried that after all this effort, there would only be trash inside the World Stone, and it would be ruined.

As his spiritual power entered, Lin Zhen saw a small mountain appear before his eyes….

Not a real mountain, but piles of green, all of it money!

Money from various Advanced Cosmic Nations, all of it money!

Lin Zhen could feel his eyes glowing, and he was certain they were glowing green.

Even the most calm person would be tempted by this scene. It was simply the most beautiful sight in the world!

He struck it rich!

He really struck it rich this time!

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The First Billionaire (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen was no stranger to money, but he had never seen such an abundance of it.

The owner of Laya Star, a powerful being in the Star System Stage, must have a penchant for collecting wealth. Inside a small World Stone, he had piled up a mountain of cash!

The World Stone might not be large, possibly even smaller than some larger Space Rings, but it was by no means considered small. The length and width of this cash mountain both exceeded a hundred meters!

Moreover, too many of the coins inside were beyond Lin Zhen's recognition.

Lin Zhen held his breath and slowly approached the money pile.

The light inside the World Stone was dim, and any existing light was contributed by some Crystal Coins embedded within the pile of money.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a light element converged in his palm, forming into a bright light sphere. It floated above the World Stone, instantly illuminating the surroundings.

"So much money…"

Lin Zhen squatted down in front of the money mountain, extended his hand, and picked up a bundle of banknotes.

The denomination on the banknotes was all ten thousand, and the currency bore the pattern of a colorful phoenix.

The colorful phoenix is a kind of Super Star River Beast. If Lin Zhen's guess was not wrong, this should be the currency of the Fire Phoenix Empire, an advanced universe civilization.

"Colorful Phoenix Coin, this bundle alone is one million. If it's exchanged for Sanjiang currency, it should be around ten billion. I just don't know whether the value of the Colorful Phoenix Coin is higher than the Kirin Coin," Lin Zhen speculated.

Not all advanced universe currencies are considered equal. There are differences in strength between nations, some universe currencies are worth less, and some are worth more.

The currency of the Fire Kirin Empire, for instance, should be considered medium-grade among all universe nations.

Lin Zhen picked up a metal coin with a denomination of one hundred thousand.

"Not all universe nations use paper money, some use metal coins, and others use both paper and metal money."

"Among these metal coins, Crystal Coins should be the most valuable. Let's see how many are here," Lin Zhen said and began searching through the piles of paper money. Most of the metal coins were at the bottom.

He felt around the ground and out came two Crystal Coins.

"They do exist… one million each!"

Lin Zhen looked at the unidentified pattern on them, his heart pulsating with excitement.

Clutching these two Crystal Coins, Lin Zhen gazed at the massive pile of money, at a loss for words to describe his emotions.

He simply couldn't compute the total value of these coins. The Lord of Laya Star was incredibly wealthy, and he certainly had a penchant for collecting currency. Lin Zhen should be very thankful for his odd hobby, for without it, he wouldn't have come upon such a fortune.

After a long time, Lin Zhen finally calmed down and commenced a complex task.

Sorting out the currency!

This was not a task he completed on his own. He specially ordered a batch of small robots from the Tianhe Empire for this job.

Once these small robots received an input command, they would work tirelessly. They were priced at one hundred thousand Tianhe Coins each and primarily used in households. Lin Zhen instantly bought a thousand!

Considering Lin Zhen was a major client who ordered hundreds of millions of robots in one go, the robots arrived at Ancient God City within several hours.

With the help of these robots, Lin Zhen only needed Chris to input commands, and the robots would take care of sorting the money.

Three days time!

Lin Zhen didn't go anywhere for three full days, busy sorting the currency within Ancient God City.

During this period, no one was allowed to enter the city. No one knew what Lin Zhen was up to.

It wasn't that Lin Zhen didn't trust anyone; it's that the situation was extremely critical. If word got out, it would become a risky endeavor.

Thus, the fewer people knew, the better. Lin Zhen decided to handle the matter alone.

Three days later, on the fourth floor of Ancient God City, piles of sorted currency were neatly stacked.

Each type of currency had been sorted and neatly arranged, resembling beautifully crafted walls, their unique fragrances intoxicating.

Colorful paper money, lustrous gold coins, and radiant Crystal Coins!

"Chris, just how significant is our this time?"

"Master, given the sheer quantity of the currency, it would require a complex calculation formula. Chris can only provide a simple report," Chris explained.

"After three days of sorting, we've discovered all the currency here from advanced Cosmic Nations. There are 520 kinds in total, among which, there are 63.5 billion from the Fire Kirin Empire!"

"Over 60 billion Kirin Coins? Where are they? Show them to me quickly!"

Chris directed Lin Zhen to a large stack of currency. There, Lin Zhen finally laid his eyes on these Kirin Coins.

It was as if a pile of containers stacked high, atop of which sat a striking image of the Fire Kirin.

"Fantastic!"

Lin Zhen thumped his chest excitedly. With these Kirin Coins, he can accomplish so many things.

Although he had a lot of money before, he was still a bit worried. Having so much currency from other Universal Nations would undoubtedly attract attention when he tried to exchange them.

Though the Universe Bank has a strong confidentiality protocol, making transactions with a vast amount of another nation's currency, especially those from Advanced Cosmic Nations, would inevitably raise suspicions.

There was a chance that an employee of the Dimensional Universe Bank might leak information. Even though the likelihood was tiny, given its significance, Lin Zhen had to be cautious.

Compared to other currencies, Kirin Coins were safer. Lin Zhen could go to the Dimensional Universe Bank of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation to exchange them, where Kirin Coins were not unusual.

Even in the Dimensional Universe, he can't just go wherever he pleases. As an Empire Earl, Lin Zhen must pass scrutiny if he wants to visit other primary Universal Nations. Chris, his Artificial Intelligence, does not have that authority.

Having acquired the identity of the Red Star Shura, however, he could explore any location in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation's Dimensional Universe. Chris's authority level had been boosted and did not require checks from the Tianhe Empire.

The benefits of status were clear, no wonder everyone was scrambling to achieve higher ranks.

Chris continued, "The leftover currency comes in more than five hundred types. Each kind's total value roughly equals that of the Kirin Coins, the most valuable of which exceeding 200 billion, the least still over 10 billion. After our comprehensive calculations, if we convert all these to Kirin Coins, their value will be around thirty trillion. Congratulations, master. You are now undoubtedly the wealthiest man in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation!"

This staggering number left Lin Zhen dumbstruck.

Zeros zipped past his mind – thirty trillion!

That's the currency of an advanced cosmic nation. How much would that be in Sanjiang Coins? In Tianhe Coins? In Earth's… nevermind, don't calculate for Earth.

All he had envisaged was turning into reality!

At this point, Chris continued, "Master, based on my analysis, the lord of Laya Star might not be a Martial Artist at the Star System Stage."

"Oh! Then what level could he be?"

"He should be a World King!"

Lin Zhen paused. The stages after the Black Hole Period for Martial Artists are three: The Star System Stage, Star Domain Stage, and Star Realm Stage.

The World Stone, his possession, was created by a Martial Artist at the Star Realm Stage.

Every Star Realm Stage Martial Artist could establish a World, similar to Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space. But while Lin Zhen got his space by chance, Star Realm Stage Martial Artists forcibly create worlds.

The emperor of the Fire Kirin Empire, Tian Haoyu, was a Star Realm Stage expert, the only known Star Realm Stage entity in the Universe Country.

Of course, in a highly advanced Universe Country, there could be other Star Realm Stage experts not known to others.

Chris's analysis made sense. A typical Martial Artist at the Star System Stage, like the Emperor of Tianhe Empire, Long Juetian, could not possibly own thirty trillion of an advanced cosmic nation's currency.

If the lord of Laya Star was a World King, then Lin Zhen certainly must protect the secret of the World Stone even more.

"Apart from the Kirin Coins, I cannot use the other currency types lest suspicion arises. Even the Kirin Coins mustn't be wholly exchanged all at once. What's enough for me to use in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation must suffice," Lin Zhen contemplated.

After some thought, Lin Zhen instructed Chris, "Activate the self-destruction programs for these robots. I don't want any hint of this incident to leak."

"Certainly, master, I will execute it immediately."

Chris instantly gave the robots the instruction, and they commenced their self-destruction process while billowing smoke.

Lin Zhen, still not feeling at ease, burned all the robots entirely, leaving no trace available for any snoopers.

Having completed all this, Lin Zhen withdrew some Kirin Coins from the World Stone.

"The Universe First Bank branch of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation surely has membership levels. If I exchange ten trillion Sanjiang Coins, that'd make me a high-ranking member.

With ten billion Kirin Coins placed in the Space Ring, Lin Zhen dove into the Dimensional Universe in the next moment.

The capital of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation is called Hills Star, a large planet ten times larger than the Jade Star.

Compared with the star like the sun, it was only a small planet.

Sanjiang, which means the confluence of three Tianhe rivers, was a hub location with hundreds of wormholes on and around the planet, an unparalleled transportation advantage.

All in all, the planet was dwelling close to a trillion beings. Lin Zhen had no time to enjoy the bustling scenery of Hills Star. He headed directly to the Universe First Bank of Hills Star.

The account opening amount here was a hundred million Sanjiang Coins. But Lin Zhen, having four hundred million Sanjiang Coins, used one billion Kirin Coins to open an account without hesitation!

A hundred million makes a Bronze member; one billion, a Silver member; ten billion, a Gold member; a hundred billion becomes a Platinum member.

But with Lin Zhen's ten trillion Sanjiang Coins, he instantly became a Diamond member!

As the highest membership level in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation Bank, when all the bank employees stood up and bowed to him, Lin Zhen finally began to feel the enormous allure of wealth.

"With all this money, I can not only resolve many pressing issues but also arm myself well."

"My homeland, my territory, must be protected by strong forces. And I, as the Sun Lord, can finally make my official debut!"

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Star System Defense System

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen had money now, and the first thing he wanted to buy was a decoding system for a light-speed spaceship.

If he wanted to go out and buy a lot of things, a light-speed spaceship was essential.

This set of things was worth tens of billions of Sanjiang Coins, but for Lin Zhen now, this amount of money really didn't mean much.

He ordered one set, and for such a big deal, the delivery speed was usually very fast.

While waiting, Lin Zhen checked the life-bearing planets in his territory again.

Although the eleven Earth-like planets were relatively peaceful, the three planets with relatively high technological and cultivation civilizations seemed to pay no attention to him as their lord.

"Blue Bay Star, Four Great Holy Nations merged together…"

"Double Moon Star, a planet with constant wars…"

"Blue Sea Star, a completely unified planet."

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and issued commands on the forums of these planets within the Dimensional Universe as a lord.

When a lord issued an order, everyone on that planet would receive and automatically accept the notification within the Dimensional Universe.

Lin Zhen's command was very simple: "I am Sun Lord Lin Zhen, and I order you to submit this year's planet tax within three days."

Then he provided his bank account number in the Tianhe Empire. The new card was from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, and the previous card still had billions of Tianhe Coins.

Of course, after making money, Lin Zhen had also repaid all the loans he had borrowed.

After issuing the lord's command, Lin Zhen started waiting for news to see who would voluntarily submit their taxes and who would not cooperate.

Five hours later, before the decoding system arrived, people from eight planets had submitted their taxes, all with civilizations similar to Earth.

After all, Lin Zhen's battle on Earth had demonstrated his strength, so those who wished to disobey his orders would have to think carefully.

However, six planets did not pay their taxes, and in addition to the Blue Bay Star, Double Moon Star, and Blue Sea Star, three more inhabitable planets didn't submit.

Lin Zhen did not issue a second command. Since these people thought there was nothing wrong with not submitting, Lin Zhen needed to remind them of a lord's authority.

The taxes from the eight planets were not insignificant, adding up to over a hundred billion Tianhe Coins in Lin Zhen's card again.

"This amount of tax revenue is still not enough. The real tax heavyweights are those three first-class territories."

Blue Bay Star's three planets were designated as first-class territories by Lin Zhen, and the other eleven Earth-like planets were second-class territories.

As for the two planets that were still in the cold weapon era, there wasn't much tax revenue, and the people there were not even aware of the existence of the Tianhe Empire.

After the decoding system arrived, Lin Zhen asked Ronnie and the others to come over and start decoding on the fourth floor of the Ancient God City.

Twenty minutes later…

"Click!"

Following a crisp sound, the lock on the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was finally open!

"Success! Master, our light-speed spaceship is now usable."

"Let's go in and have a look!"

Lin Zhen also walked in happily. The spaceship was nearly four hundred meters long and a hundred meters wide. Inside, it was filled with gleaming Permanent Crystals, giving a feeling of being inside a crystal palace.

The pirates excitedly explored the inside, and Lin Zhen coughed, "Keep your hands clean, or if I find that anything is missing, you'll be in trouble."

Ronnie smiled bitterly, "Boss, this is a Permanent Crystal, we couldn't even get through the door lock, it's impossible to break off a piece."

"Well, let's test its performance now."

The pirates excitedly sat at the control panel, researched for a while, and then started the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

As soon as it started, Ronnie immediately turned off the ignition.

His face turned pale, "Boss, it seems we made a mistake."

"What's the matter?"

"We haven't reset the spaceship's system, and when it started just now, a signal was sent out. The Anderson family must have received it, and they probably know the spaceship is still on Earth now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen also had a headache. Indeed, this matter had been overlooked.

However, there was no use in complaining now, and as Lin Zhen had gained a lot of money, he had more confidence. He pondered, "Reset the system and restart it. As for the Anderson family, even if it weren't for this, they would probably find out about me sooner or later."

"But there's no need to worry too much, as they only have one light-speed spaceship. If they want to come to Earth again, it will be at least two or three years later."

Agreeing with the pirates, they completed the spaceship's system reset, eliminating all traces from before.

"Prepare for lift-off…"

"Converging Permanent Crystal light…"

"Sonic speed start… Let's go!"

The spaceship started at sonic speed and shot up into the sky.

The entrance to the top floor of Ancient God City was open, and the spaceship soared out into space. After flying for a while, Ronnie turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Boss, our planet is too small to accelerate the spacecraft to light speed. If we activate light speed mode, we can fly around the globe seven and a half times in just one second."

"Let's go to Mars first, and then through the wormhole to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation."

"As you command, my master!"

The pirates finally had the chance to pilot a spaceship at the speed of light as they excitedly left Earth's atmosphere in an instant and then accelerated madly into space.

"Ten times the speed of sound…a hundred times the speed of sound…"

"A thousand times the speed of sound…sub-light speed!!"

"Roar! So fast, be careful, we're at light speed!"

Transforming into a stream of light, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship instantaneously entered a parallel universe.

Surrounded by darkness, the spaceship automatically locked onto the space coordinates of Mars. This planet, initially more than 50 million kilometers away from Earth and requiring six to seven hours of flight, was reached in just three minutes.

As the spaceship slowed down, it automatically exited the parallel universe, yet those inside could not even feel the deceleration and the forward tilt it caused.

Mount Olympus was up ahead. The spaceship entered a wormhole and appeared on Aurora Planet, then went through a satellite wormhole to Jade Star.

From Jade Star, there was a direct wormhole near Hills Star. After leaving the wormhole, the light-speed spaceship finally had an opportunity to gallop for a while.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived near Hills Star.

"Everyone get into the small spacecraft. This spaceship must not be exposed."

Following Lin Zhen's lead, the pirates entered a small spaceship that could carry a hundred people, which had been prepared in advance. Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was stored in the Dark Star World.

The small spaceship slowly advanced, arriving in Hills Star airspace. A life scanning signal swept over them, and upon detecting Lin Zhen's identity as Red Star Shura, a greeting came from the control panel.

"Honorable Red Star Shura, welcome to Hills Star!"

The voice vanished, and no one continued to investigate.

"Boss, where are we going now?" Ronnie and the others were here for the first time and had no idea what to do.

"To the Technology Museum. My territory needs some armament."

"Target…Technology Museum!"

The small spaceship entered Hills Star's atmosphere, and after flying for about an hour on a planet a hundred times larger than Earth, they found the location of the Technology Museum.

"You all wait here for me."

Lin Zhen went in alone.

Upon entering and completing an identity scan, someone welcomed him immediately upon seeing the visitor was a Red Star Shura: "Honorable Red Star Shura, may I ask what you need?"

"Star System Defense System."

If Lin Zhen had any concerns, it would be the safety of his home. He could ignore other territories, but he had to ensure the absolute safety of the Solar System.

The Star System Defense System was developed by the advanced Universe Country. It primarily consisted of Fortress Satellites, Interstellar Orbital Guns, Interstellar Radars, Parallel Universe Monitors, and Laser-guided Missiles.

The value of these items was far beyond that of a small asteroid system, and only the extremely wealthy could afford them.

As Lin Zhen appeared to be in the Satellite Stage, the receptionist immediately assumed he was from a powerful family and did not dare to delay, ushering him into the VIP room.

"May I ask, how many planets are in the star system you want to secure?"

"Nine planets."

"Would you like each planet to be equipped with an interstellar orbital gun? Do you need Fortress Satellites?"

"Equip each planet with an orbital gun, as well as the highest specification Parallel Universe Monitors and Interstellar Radars. Each planet needs to have laser-guided missiles. Also, each planet must have a Fortress Satellite. Um…one of them needs three Fortress Satellites, and I also need ten sub-light speed warships."

As Lin Zhen listed his requirements, the attendant hurriedly took notes and secretly remarked that this young master treated money like it was nothing.

"Alright, the records are complete. Each Fortress Satellite costs 10 billion Sanjiang coins, sub-light speed spacecraft are 120 billion each, the Parallel Universe Monitor is 500 billion, the Interstellar Radar is 300 billion, the orbital guns…"

After a long list, the attendant said, "The total cost comes to 5.1 trillion Sanjiang coins. If you can pay in cash all at once, we can give you a 100 billion discount."

"A one-time payment, but I request immediate delivery."

"No problem, we have plenty of stock. Now, please follow me."

Lin Zhen followed the attendant, boarded a small spaceship, and flew directly out of Hills Star's atmosphere, arriving at a space area designated for the Technology Museum.

In space, Fortress Satellites the size of small moons floated like monsters in the starry sky. The numerous dark nozzles were fearsome to behold, each containing a small city within."

There was also the enormous interstellar orbital gun that patrolled the planets like a sentinel. No spacecraft dared to test the power of the orbital gun.

Ten sub-light speed warships lined up for the pirates to pilot within the star system where such speeds were more suitable for battle.

The Parallel Universe Monitoring System could monitor a million stars within a parallel universe, quickly detecting any approaching light-speed spacecraft.

The Interstellar Radar could cover the entire Solar System, with any sub-light speed spacecraft under surveillance.

Laser-guided missiles served as the defenders of the planets.

Lin Zhen made a one-time payment of 5 trillion coins and then asked the staff to leave, storing all the equipment in the Dark Star Space with a wave of his hand.

Leaving the Technology Museum, he headed straight for the next stop.

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Beautiful Female Slave during the Black Hole Period

Translator: 549690339

"Master! We found the whereabouts of the light-speed ship!"

"Where?" Old Anderson, who was in deep cultivation, asked anxiously.

"One minute ago, we received a radio wave from the light-speed ship. It came from Earth, but it was quickly interrupted."

"Earth… That's Lin Zhen's home planet."

Old Anderson took a deep breath: "It seems we've all been played. Lin Zhen must have known about a wormhole, intercepted the light-speed ship, and then returned through the wormhole, creating the illusion that he wasn't at the scene. What a schemer."

"Master, even so, we don't have a light-speed ship now. It won't be possible to go to Earth in a short period."

"We have to go anyway. We cannot lose the light-speed ship. Although we lost it, we still have sub-light-speed ships. Half a year should be enough."

"But Master, you are at a critical point of breaking through now. It is crucial for the family that you successfully break through the Black Hole Realm!"

Old Anderson's attitude was firm: "Breaking through doesn't necessarily require isolating oneself in one place. Cultivation can happen anywhere. The loss of the light-speed ship has disturbed my peace of mind, making breaking through the Black Hole Realm too dangerous. I have a feeling that I can successfully enter the Star System Stage, and it all depends on this trip to Earth!"

"Prepare, and take all the elite forces of the family with you. We will set off today and strive to reach Earth within half a year!"

Anderson family took action, apart from Old Anderson, who was at the Late Black Hole Stage, there were two in Black Hole Early Stage, three hundred in the Constant Star Stage, and three thousand in the Planet Stage!

A group of people took a sub-light speed ship and set off from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, heading straight for Earth!

"Sir, the slaves you requested are all here."

Lin Zhen stood in a slave market, with more than a thousand slaves in front of him.

One hundred Constant Star Stage slaves and one thousand Planet Stage slaves cost Lin Zhen more than 10 billion Sanjiang coins.

After paying, the slave trader said to Lin Zhen, "Sir, we have some elite slaves here. Would you like to take a look?"

"What kind of elites?"

"Here are three slaves. Two of them are Spiritual Mind Masters of the Black Wing Clan at Constant Star Level Nine. If you want them, they are yours for a hundred billion."

The slave trader brought two slaves with black wings from behind to Lin Zhen.

As Lin Zhen looked at these two tall slaves, he could feel the surging power from their bodies.

One gets what one pays for. The combined price of these two Level 9 Spiritual Mind Masters from the Constant Star Stage exceeded the total price of all the slaves Lin Zhen had just bought. But their strength was indeed excellent.

However, the two hundred billion price tag was somewhat expensive. Lin Zhen wanted to negotiate the price. Though he had money now, he didn't want to be a sucker. These two Level 9 Spiritual Mind Masters were worth about one hundred and fifty billion at most. As for the other slave the trader mentioned, he probably had no real strength.

Before Lin Zhen could speak, the slave trader said, "Sir, it's best not to bargain. Because there's another slave here who's a Black Hole Stage, worth more than these two levels 9s. You'd get a bargain if you take them for two hundred billion. If it wasn't for the recent downturn in the slave market, I wouldn't even consider selling them for five hundred billion. I'm already taking a loss."

Lin Zhen was taken aback and turned his attention to the corner, where a girl wrapped in wings was standing next to the two level 9 Constant Stars. She had her eyes closed, and her aura was concealed. On closer inspection, she was actually at the Black Hole Middle Stage!

When buying slaves, Level 9 Spiritual Mind Masters from the Constant Star Stage were almost the most powerful ones available. Anything higher would be Black Hole Stage slaves.

Black Hole Stage slaves were rare and seldom purchased by anyone.

There were two possible outcomes for Black Hole Stage slaves: either they failed to break through and died, or they successfully broke through, and their slave chip was automatically removed. Afterward, they could potentially strike back at their master.

Unless there was a temporary need for combat power, Black Hole Early Stage could be considered, but Black Hole Middle Stage meant that they could advance to Black Hole Late Stage at any time.

Breaking through the Black Hole Stage was a matter of chance, and it could happen within days or even suddenly. It was uncertain if this girl would advance to the Star System Stage one day, so buying a Black Hole Middle Stage slave was too risky.

Lin Zhen looked at the slave trader and realized he was trying to take advantage of him.

"What if I don't buy this Black Wing Clan girl and just buy the two level 9s? Can you give me a better price?"

As soon as the slave trader heard this, he sensed trouble but still insisted, "Hehe, sir, look at that beautiful girl. She is a princess of the Black Wing Clan with the noblest bloodline. It took us a lot of effort to catch her. In less than two months, she went from Level 9 Constant Star Stage to Black Hole Middle Stage. If you buy her, she might advance to the Star System Stage soon, and you will make a huge profit."

Lin Zhen laughed, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Can Star System Stage people still be slaves? I would be lucky if she didn't kill me. My little shrimp self, at the Satellite Stage, can't withstand her breath."

"What if you changed her, made her fall in love with you wholeheartedly…?" The slave trader tried to argue.

"Enough! I don't want the Black Hole Stage girl; I just want the two Level 9 Spiritual Mind Masters. Name your price." Lin Zhen did not want to waste any more words with him.

Seeing Lin Zhen's unwavering attitude, the slave trader's face crumbled, "Sir, if I could sell them separately, I would. The two Level 9 Spiritual Mind Masters are the girl's bodyguards. Even as slaves, they vowed to protect the princess. If separated, they would die. I have no choice. Who knew the girl would break through to Black Hole so quickly? If I don't sell her now, we will be in big trouble if she breaks through to the Star System Stage."

"So, you want to pass the trouble onto me!" Lin Zhen said coldly.

"It's not really trouble, after all, these three have incredible strength. Treat the girl well, and there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on the Black Wing Clan girl, who had a pale face, but her beauty was indeed good enough to match his two girlfriends.

Of course, Lin Zhen wasn't just looking at her appearance, he also saw her capabilities.

A Black Hole Period slave, if properly utilized, could solve some serious problems!

Moreover, the two Constant Star Level Nine slaves were obviously devoted to her. For their sake, it was worth it for Lin Zhen to take a risk.

At worst, he could let her go or get rid of her just before she broke through.

Having set his sights, Lin Zhen stopped bargaining and agreed to the price of twenty billion Sanjiang currency.

After paying, the chip was exchanged, and Lin Zhen became the master of the three slaves.

He slowly approached the trio: "What are your names?"

The two Black Wing Clan Spiritual Mind Masters replied: "Zi Shisan, Zi Shiqi."

"Are these your code names?"

"Yes, we are the guards of the princess. Only the two of us are left out of the original thirty guards."

"Where are you from? What's your princess's name?"

The two looked at each other, and Zi Shisan replied, "The princess's name is Zi Qianxia. We're from the Shenhua Star in the Andromeda Galaxy."

Lin Zhen nodded. The Andromeda Galaxy didn't belong to the Tianhe Empire, but it was part of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. This Zi Qianxia must have had a high status there, as one could imagine by the fact she had Constant Star Level Nine Spiritual Mind Masters as guards.

"Follow me from now on. You won't have to wait in the slave market and be chosen anymore."

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, the girl named Zi Qianxia suddenly opened her eyes: "You better kill me now! Otherwise, once I break through to the Star System Stage, I will kill every last one of you bloodsuckers!"

Looking at the hatred in the girl's eyes, Lin Zhen glared harshly at the slave dealer.

The slave dealer had an innocent face but couldn't help snickering.

Lin Zhen felt somewhat annoyed. Since this girl was his slave, he would have to rely on her to exert great power. He could only speak in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about anything. Although your status is that of a slave, I'm not a harsh master. I can appoint you and your subordinates as my knights and give you enough respect."

Zi Shisan and Zi Shiqi, who had been standing beside Zi Qianxia, were moved at Lin Zhen's words.

It was the first time someone had offered them knighthood as soon as they arrived.

Others simply wouldn't accept the three of them, as Zi Qianxia was indeed a hot potato.

Zi Qianxia hesitated for a moment, her eyes filled with doubt.

However, she did not waver because of Lin Zhen's words: "You only want me to die for you anyway. Once I reach the Late Black Hole Stage, you'll kill me, right?"

Lin Zhen originally had such a plan, but now he couldn't say it out loud when he faced her eyes.

This poor girl went from a princess to a slave, and Lin Zhen realized he was even planning on taking advantage of her.

Originally, countless people in the interstellar world did such things, but as Lin Zhen faced the girl's eyes, he felt ashamed.

He slowly walked up to the girl, crouching in front of her.

"Maybe I had a bit of that idea, but now I apologize. I won't think like that again. I can promise you now that as long as you don't intend to harm me, I will free you once you break through to the Late Black Hole Stage. I'll let you go back and avenge yourself. Is that alright?"

Zi Qianxia's eyes flickered, seemingly trying to see into Lin Zhen's heart.

As their four eyes met, Zi Qianxia finally nodded slightly: "I can see that your words are sincere. I can become your knight, but I won't be a slave to anyone else. You must guarantee that none of your family members, or anyone else, can control me."

"Of course." Lin Zhen knew that respect should be given to the strong. If she wasn't a slave, Zi Qianxia wouldn't even give a second glance at him.

"So… it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Zi Qianxia's long hair suddenly fluttered up, hooking around Lin Zhen's hair, tying a knot, then pulling a bit before letting go.

"What does that mean?" Lin Zhen asked, puzzled.

Zi Shisan's smile blossomed beside him: "In our Shenhua Star, it means a promise, a deal that can't be broken. Neither party can go back on their word!"

Lin Zhen suddenly understood. It meant they made a pinky promise.

Lin Zhen treated Zi Qianxia and the others well, not only granting Zi Shisan and Zi Shiqi the identities of a Thousand Cavalry Leader, but also making Zi Qianxia his personal bodyguard.

Of course, Zi Qianxia only committed to ensuring Lin Zhen's security, she wouldn't intervene in other matters.

The Black Wing Clan had spatial talents, just like Lin Zhen's Foldable Space, allowing them to step into the space at any time to avoid danger, leaving no trace of their comings and goings.

When Lin Zhen returned to the light-speed Spaceship with Zi Qianxia and the others, as well as all the slaves he had acquired, Ronnie and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Especially when Zi Qianxia glanced at these people and sneered, "Contemptuous pirates," the pirates became so terrified that they didn't dare to breathe.

Ronnie couldn't help thinking that Lin Zhen was playing with fire. He was actually buying slaves who were in their Black Hole Period. Once this woman broke through, everyone combined would not be enough for her to kill.

Did the boss think this woman was beautiful and wanted to have his fun with her first?

After purchasing the slaves, Lin Zhen stayed in Sanjiang Star Domain Federation for another two days, buying a considerable amount of supplies.

The first purchase was chips. As a lord now, he could distribute chips without limit, but he needed to possess a substantial number of these chips to give them out. He made a one-time purchase of hundreds of billions of them.

Besides the chips, he also purchased a large passenger spaceship. Lin Zhen planned to implement navigation within his territory, and at least on Earth, he needed to take responsibility for the spaceships.

Additionally, he bought jade marrow stones specifically for cultivation. These weren't too costly, priced at 5,300 Sanjiang coins per gram. These stones could give ordinary people the chance to become Martial Artists, just like vitality potions on Earth.

When converted to Earth's currency, one gram of jade marrow was worth 50 billion, quite an extravagant price.

However, the effects were pretty impressive. One gram was sufficient for an average person, three grams were plenty. Lin Zhen wanted to bring these back to turn more people into Martial Artists, ideally the entire population.

Moreover, he bought energy blocks. Spaceships needed an enormous amount of energy, so he could never have too many energy blocks. Lin Zhen made a one-time purchase of energy blocks worth 50 billion Sanjiang coins.

Spending money in such large amounts, Lin Zhen had to deposit another 1.5 billion Kirin Coins into his card to function properly.

After three more days, Lin Zhen finally embarked on his journey home with everyone.

Over two hours later, upon reaching Earth, Lin Zhen started to arrange all the planetary defense systems.

The Nine Major Planets of the Solar System each were equipped with a Fortress Satellite.

A Fortress Satellite was almost like a small planet in itself, moving slowly in high orbit, densely packed with gun ports, an absolutely solid fortress.

More so, for his hometown Earth, Lin Zhen arranged for three Fortress Satellites.

Martial Artists at the Constant Star Stage were responsible for propelling the satellites forward, gradually bringing them into orbit.

Then the orbital cannons, laser-guided missiles were all in place.

Lin Zhen installed the interstellar radar and parallel universe monitors in Ice City Base City, his own hometown.

These devices didn't require human supervision, just linking them to an intelligent life form was enough. This way, he would get a notification as soon as anything unusual occurred.

Those ten sub-light speed spaceships were left in the hands of his guards, who would serve as Earth's sentinels.

When Lin Zhen returned home, his parents and relatives were already back in Ice City Base City.

Now, Lin Zhen's home was like an individual city, connected to Ice City Base City.

This city was Lin Zhen's war trophy – Sky City!

It was Lin Zhen's idea to have Sky City based here. It enabled him to gather all the people he cared about and considered important, as the Sky City itself was a powerful war fortress, providing maximum security to his family.

Sky City was immensely vast, and when Lin Zhen returned, many people were in the process of moving in.

The upper echelons of various countries had now merged, forming a unified office, handling all matters on Earth.

This office was directly accountable to Lin Zhen. During the days he was away, his clone remained here to handle the affairs.

Returning here, while walking on the streets of Sky City, Lin Zhen could see bustling activity everywhere.

Lin Zhen wore his metallic mask to avoid unnecessary attention, and Zi Qianxia retracted her wings, turning into an adorable young girl following closely behind Lin Zhen.

"Your spaceship city is tolerable, in case of real danger, it can choose to fly away immediately, although the speed is a bit slow."

In fact, the maximum speed of Sky City was not slow, it could reach hundred times the speed of sound. But this speed seemed slow against future trends. Lin Zhen already ordered a new propulsion system from the Dimensional Universe, planning to refit Sky City into a sub-light speed Spaceship.

"How does it compare to your hometown?"

"My home is way more beautiful than here, and we don't have so many Mutated Beasts roaming about like your planets. It's not safe even to step out."

Lin Zhen nodded, Earth was indeed not considered beautiful now, mainly due to the widespread presence of Mutated Beasts still not eradicated.

Given that he had brought back so many experts, for those Martial Artists at the Planet Stage or Constant Star Stage, eliminating Earth's Mutated Beasts was not a difficult task. However, Lin Zhen had no intention of doing so.

These mutated beasts should be preserved, they might still serve a purpose.

After going all the way to the center of Sky City, where the lord's mansion is located, Lin Zhen's original body and his clone quietly swapped places.

What Lin Zhen now lacks is the realm of advancement, his original body must grasp every moment for cultivation.

Meanwhile, his clone continues to work with Zi Qianxia, issuing various orders.

Firstly, Lin Zhen officially announces to the world that chip distribution to the people will begin.

Verification of citizen identities has been ongoing. If they are people of Earth with no history of serious crime and have good performance, they will be granted citizen status.

Those who had previously resisted Lin Zhen and have a bad record will be given the status of the poor.

As for those with egregious crimes, Lin Zhen won't hold back and will hand them all over to the current office for trial. Those who should be killed will be killed.

The code of law in the Tianhe Empire is quite complete and the laws are sound. Although this task has a large workload, it's not difficult to handle.

After the identity chips came back, Lin Zhen also endowed some with the title of knight. These people can distribute chips on behalf of Lin Zhen.

Of course, the people who can be granted the title of knight are those Lin Zhen knows well and trusts.

Once they have the chip, they can enter the Dimensional Universe, instantly captivated by the immense charm of the dimensional cosmos.

Many people haven't even explored all the scenery within their own planet in their entire lives. In the Dimensional Universe, they perceive a greater meaningfulness of life.

Everyone is aspiring to be a martial artist, to possess longer lives, so Lin Zhen begins to distribute jade marrow once more.

As soon as someone has reached the threshold of being a warrior, they will immediately be given jade marrow. This helps them in their cultivation, a gram of jade marrow is enough for an average person to easily become a third-level warrior.

Continuous actions cause people on Earth to cheer with excitement, their admiration for Lin Zhen is boundless.

Being able to cultivate, having more extended lives, enjoying a brand new world, people suddenly feel future full of hope.

During this process, there were some who proposed that the lord should wipe out the mutated beasts on the planet, but Lin Zhen refused.

These mutated beasts are the best sparring partners for Earth's people, and can help them grow quickly. Otherwise, cultivating eternally in a hothouse environment, even those with genius talent would be buried.

Of course, Lin Zhen did not just stand by and do nothing. For example, in the training areas for warrior-level individuals, Lin Zhen would arrange for people to clean or transfer out advanced and intermediate mutated beasts, preventing any monster beyond the warrior's strength from causing significant casualties.

Of course, some people might still get injured or even die, but compared to before, the numbers would be much lower. Everyone's AI life form will help analyze where they should practice and where they should not go due to danger.

As for Lin Zhen's arrangements, the people of Earth also gave their full support. Over the years, Earth's people are no longer extremely fearful of mutated beasts, they know what to do.

For a while, the entire planet was engrossed in a cultivation craze.

As time moved forward, three months passed, and all the orders gradually stabilized. The entire star system's defense system was installed, and the whole Solar System became as solid as gold soup.

If fleets like Diana's dared to come again, Lin Zhen assured they would not even be able to get close to Earth and would be completely wiped out.

People's cultivation had also led to results, and now ninety percent of the people on the planet had become martial artists. The mainstream activity became forming teams to go out and hunt mutated beasts.

In such a nourishing cultivation environment, the number of advanced martial artists gradually increased.

In these three months, hundreds of thousands of people became war generals, nearly fifty thousand became war gods, and several Star Realm Experts were also born.

This prompted someone to propose the opening of interstellar routes. Earth needed development and trade, so it ought to extend outwards.

Lin Zhen also paid close attention to this matter and started contacting other life planets within his territory.

During the last taxation, eight life planets paid their dues. But when Lin Zhen raised the issue of communication between planets this time, not a single planet responded!

In their eyes, the lord sure had no ability to reach other planets. A lord who can't even make it to them, isn't worth caring about.

Several planet's martial artists even mocked Lin Zhen continuously, saying that he was a "snail" lord.

Even many people posted challenges to Lin Zhen on the planetary forum! Notably, the planets of Blu Bay Star, Double Moon Star, and Blue Sea Star had the most challengers.

In fact, Lin Zhen had received quite a few challenges during this period and the challengers had strong abilities. The weakest was at least at the level of Venus Asura, and more were Red Star Shura. There were even rumors of an Asura King on Blue Bay Star wishing to challenge Lin Zhen.

But he did not accept any of the challenges, which made the people on other life planets within his territory grow even more arrogant.

Not that Lin Zhen wanted to let these people swagger around, it was just that his cultivation practice had reached a critical point.

He had cultivated to the threshold of entering the Meteor Stage, and one more step forward, would let him cross a large realm.

Once he arrived at the Meteor Stage, he would send a response and retaliate against all those who dared to look down on him, to thoroughly control his territory!

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Advancement! Meteor Change!

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen was currently at the peak of Star Core Level 9, about to step into the Meteor Stage. In his previous life, he died from exhaustion due to his failure to break through to the Meteor Stage.

Thus, for this breakthrough attempt, there was still a hurdle in Lin Zhen's heart.

On the ring-shaped mountains of Mars, three months of arduous cultivation brought him to the edge of breakthrough.

His sky blue Spiritual Power swept across, and every movement within tens of thousands of meters around him could not escape Lin Zhen's perception.

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was parked nearby, Zi Qianxia should also be nearby. The innate spatial talents of the Black Wing Clan made her very good at hiding.

With this late Black Hole stage expert on the verge of his breakthrough, Lin Zhen's safety wasn't an issue. He calmed his mind and began preparing for the breakthrough.

He had been preparing for this process for a long time, and it absolutely shouldn't have any problems.

The Star Core in his body started to move slowly, swirling within the Dantian, and the Star Power boiled.

One cycle, two cycles!

After dozens of cycles, the Star Core gradually formed a trajectory.

A bright light slowly emerged behind the Star Core.

In this process, the Star Core was also gradually growing and becoming stronger, treading on the path to evolve into the Meteor Stage.

As long as Lin Zhen could smoothly pass through this process, he would have entered the Meteor Stage.

However, at the crucial moment of breakthrough, Zi Qianxia's alarmed cry suddenly came.

"Lin Zhen, it's not good! There's an asteroid cluster attracted by Mars' gravity, and it's heading towards us!"

Lin Zhen didn't respond but was somewhat nervous.

The reason he chose Mars for cultivation was due to its safety, far from Earth where nobody would disturb him. However, he didn't expect to encounter an asteroid cluster.

Judging by Zi Qianxia's tone, there should be quite a number of asteroids.

His main body was in the crucial moment of breakthrough, and if he left rashly, the breakthrough would fail, and he might not be able to break through again for decades. Lin Zhen couldn't take this risk.

Although his main body didn't move, his secondary body had already issued orders through the Dimensional Universe.

Among the nine major planets of the Solar System, Lin Zhen had placed Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons in each. Now was the time for them to be put to use.

"Qianxia, get ready for close-range interception. I'll have the Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons fire to intercept these asteroid clusters."

"Understood. Don't worry, I'll definitely protect you."

Zi Qianxia appeared in the air, with black wings emerging from her body. She held a dazzling sword, preparing to block any asteroids approaching Lin Zhen.

The Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons orbiting Mars were also nearby. They were placed by Lin Zhen in case of emergencies, and now they were indeed coming in handy.

In the void, like small planets, the Fortress Satellites moved at high speed, with countless dark muzzle rotations aiming towards the approaching asteroid clusters.

About five minutes later, a dense asteroid cluster entered Mars's gravitational field.

"Fortress Satellite, intercept! Don't let large chunks of asteroids enter the atmosphere!"

Lin Zhen's secondary body issued the command, and the Fortress Satellites opened fire!

Boom, boom, boom~~!!!

The huge gunfire started, immediately stirring up sheets of flames in the asteroid clusters!

In cosmic space, these asteroids were not small in size, with the larger ones having a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers!

There were thousands of these dark asteroids. The Fortress Satellites showcased their might during this time, blasting the large asteroids into pieces.

However, despite this, they could not completely destroy all of these asteroids clusters. Large chunks turned into smaller ones, and smaller ones still fell. One large asteroid could be broken down into hundreds of smaller fragments, making it impossible to completely shatter them.

"Orbital cannons, fire!"

Lin Zhen issued the command, and the orbital cannons, which had already moved to the outer atmosphere, started firing.

Swift flames shot out rapidly, shattering the asteroid chunks one by one. With the small asteroid fragments entering the atmosphere, there was basically no threat to the ground, as they would burn out in the air.

After the Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons' repeated bombardment, the threat of this asteroid cluster had significantly decreased.

If Lin Zhen wasn't trying to break through, these threats wouldn't be threats at all. The problem was that he couldn't move.

Many asteroids still entered Mars' atmosphere, turning into massive blazing fireballs heading straight for Lin Zhen.

"Qianxia, it's up to you!"

"I'll do my best, but there are a lot of asteroids."

Zi Qianxia, holding a long sword, rose into the air!

Her black wings flapped, and her slender figure turned into a stream of light, directly facing a giant asteroid with a diameter of about a kilometer!

"Ha!"

Her sweet voice cried out, and a dazzling light shot out, shattering the giant asteroid with a single sword strike!

Zi Qianxia was also pushed back several thousand meters by the celestial force, but she immediately flapped her wings and continued to attack the next asteroid.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!!"

Sword qi streaked through the sky, and Zi Qianxia shattered the meteorites that were still quite large. As long as the meteorites weren't too big, they usually wouldn't reach the ground.

However, Zi Qianxia was in quite a sorry state, pitting human strength against the meteors falling from the sky—a task not suited for people.

Even though she destroyed the meteors, the fragments of the meteorites were difficult to guard against. To protect Lin Zhen, she had to fight off these meteors, expending great effort to fend off the attacks from all sides.

After all, those giant meteorites with a diameter of more than a kilometer or even several kilometers were still burning fiercely. The fact that she had been able to withstand them was already impressive.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen's real body still had his eyes closed, as his breakthrough had reached a critical moment.

But at this time, his attention was somewhat drawn to the meteors flying in the sky.

"These meteors have such a strong force. Zi Qianxia has reached the late Black Hole Stage but is still pushed back by the meteor's impact."

Moreover, those meteorite fragments are causing her distress. I have a feeling that it's like she's fighting against someone, with the meteors being the opponent's attack."

A strong strike, dispersed fragments representing scattered energy. If I imagined this strike as a spear technique… "

"That's right… "

Lin Zhen's mind pictured an imaginary opponent for Zi Qianxia, feeling like she was battling an expert in spear techniques, unleashing attacks like meteor falls, and causing Zi Qianxia to be in a difficult position.

He released the sky-blue spiritual power, using his mental power to reach the high altitude where he captured everything about the meteors.

"Spear technique! My spear technique is currently at Sea Treading's sixth level, which is falling behind the situation. But I don't have the secret manual for the seventh level, so I need a powerful spear technique."

His desire for strength made Lin Zhen forget the danger, even though he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Zi Qianxia was struggling to defend against the meteors, which came in waves. Moreover, she needed to protect Lin Zhen, so she couldn't easily dodge them.

"Lin Zhen! Hurry up; if this keeps up, I won't be able to hold on much longer."

Lin Zhen had forgotten everything, with each falling meteor seeming like a different spear technique.

"Meteor falling, unstoppable, swift, fast!"

"If I turn it into a spear technique, I need to engrave the trajectory of every meteor in my mind—the more, the better; the more complex, the better!"

Wave after wave of meteors fell, and Zi Qianxia had been forced to retreat to a place just a kilometer above Lin Zhen.

"Are you ready yet?"

Lin Zhen still didn't answer, but he was on the verge of success!

The light sword in Zi Qianxia's hand was somewhat dim, and her strength alone could not withstand this wave of meteors—even at her level in the Black Hole Period.

Looking back at Lin Zhen, who was still motionless on the ground, Zi Qianxia clenched her teeth.

During this time, Lin Zhen had been very good to her, almost never letting her do anything, and he had never shown any condescending attitude in his words. It had seemed as if the two of them were good friends.

Zi Qianxia was happy to have met such a master as Lin Zhen, which made her look forward to the future. After her breakthrough, perhaps she could truly be free and then return to her hometown for revenge.

In these days, she had been on the verge of a breakthrough, and as long as she was willing, she could enter the late Black Hole Stage at any time.

However, she was still hesitating, unsure whether to breakthrough immediately and return to her hometown since her ability was not strong enough to avenge her.

But she didn't expect such a thing to happen, and now she couldn't even make a breakthrough in time.

"It's so unfair. Lin Zhen simply can't die. If he dies, I'll die too. But if I insist on protecting him, I'll be injured, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance to break through the Black Hole Stage again."

But Zi Qianxia no longer had a choice. During her defense, a giant meteorite with a diameter of a hundred meters was plummeting straight towards Lin Zhen!

"Not good!"

Without any hesitation, Zi Qianxia fiercely cast a teleportation spell, appearing in front of Lin Zhen at once.

At this distance, even if she shattered the meteorite, she herself would be injured by the flying fragments, yet she couldn't avoid it.

"It's over! Lin Zhen, you owe me a life!"

Zi Qianxia closed her eyes, preparing to break the meteorite at the cost of being injured.

Just as her black wings spread out to protect Lin Zhen, he suddenly moved!

With a teleportation, Lin Zhen was already before her, and the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand drew black and white rays of light, aiming directly at the meteorite!

"Lin Zhen, are you crazy?"

Caught off guard, she couldn't stop Lin Zhen in time. All she saw was his spear trembling, piercing straight into the meteorite!

At that moment, Zi Qianxia felt as if she was experiencing a slight illusion, as she saw two meteors crashing into each other!

With a thunderous crash~~~!!!

Lin Zhen actually shattered the meteorite!

Zi Qianxia didn't expect Lin Zhen's strength to be this powerful, but she still shouted: "Quickly dodge! You'll be injured by the fragments!"

Lin Zhen still didn't dodge. His spear trembled, and countless earth elements transformed into huge rocks, which clashed fiercely against both the burning flames and the meteorite fragments in a furious confrontation!

As many meteor fragments as there were, there were just as many elemental fireballs!

It was like a sky filled with fireworks blooming before their eyes. As Zi Qianxia watched Lin Zhen's heroic figure, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide in disbelief.

"Heaven! How is this possible? His spear technique… is Meteor!"

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: 8000 Continuous Battles!

Translator: 549690339

Fireballs burst in the air like strings, seemingly swallowing Lin Zhen, but not a single one could touch him.

"Pop, pop, pop, pop!"

In a flash of dense spear light, Lin Zhen grabbed Zi Qianxia and quickly moved from the area, flying onto the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

"You've successfully broken through! What kind of spear technique was that just now?"

Facing Zi Qianxia's question, Lin Zhen just smiled without speaking.

Indeed, he had succeeded. At the last moment when the meteor fell, the meteor in his Dantian finally formed its own orbit, truly entering the Meteor Stage.

From Star Core Peak to the Meteor Stage, Lin Zhen's Star Power doubled again, greatly advancing his strength.

At the last moment, Lin Zhen also comprehended a new spear technique.

Meteor!

A swift spear with countless changes, capable of thousands of strikes per second.

This was Lin Zhen's current trump card, the ultimate weapon during regular battles, unparalleled in power when combined with Unbreakable.

"Qianxia, thank you for just now. If it weren't for you desperately blocking the meteors, I might have been seriously injured or killed. It would have been impossible for me to think about breaking through in a short period."

Zi Qianxia felt her palm warm and realized that Lin Zhen was holding her hand. Her face flushed slightly and she withdrew her hand.

"It's only right. I'm your slave; how can I not protect you?"

"Don't mention slaves anymore. I feel that you're about to break through, too. Do you have any concerns? Are you worried that I'll go back on my word and not give you freedom? Rest assured, I'll give you freedom right now. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Lin Zhen immediately revoked Zi Qianxia's slave chip and issued her a knight chip instead, making her a noble as well.

"I know this identity is still not compatible with you. If you can get a better identity in the future, you can change it."

Zi Qianxia looked at everything Lin Zhen had done, and lowered her head without speaking.

"Go break through. If you want to leave, you can."

After saying that, Lin Zhen turned around and didn't say anything else to Zi Qianxia.

After a while, a fragrant breeze fluttered, and Zi Qianxia disappeared, probably to find a place to break through.

Lin Zhen sighed softly. This deal was worthwhile. Zi Qianxia was able to help him break through to the Meteor Stage, which was priceless. As for where Zi Qianxia would go in the future, Lin Zhen respected her choice.

He stayed on Mars for three more days, stabilizing his Meteor Stage realm.

On the third day, Zi Qianxia returned.

Not only had she advanced to the Late Black Hole Stage, but she was also facing another breakthrough, not far from the Star System Stage.

Her rapid cultivation speed amazed Lin Zhen.

After returning, Zi Qianxia came to Lin Zhen's side and said just one sentence.

"Until I have the strength to return to my hometown and take revenge, I will stay by your side."

Lin Zhen smiled in relief; he hadn't misjudged her.

It was time to return to Earth. With his main body advancing, his clone naturally advanced to the Planet Stage. Lin Zhen had to respond to the challenges inside his territory.

Blue Bay Star.

This planet was ten times larger than Earth, and the Four Great Holy Nations ruled it.

Recently, the Martial Artists' forum here had been bustling.

There was a way for Martial Artists to prove their strength: by challenging Lords.

In the eyes of those on Blue Bay Star, their technological and cultivation civilization greatly surpassed Earth's. Even if there were Lords, they should have appeared on their own planet. How could a low-ranked Earthling like Lin Zhen lead them?

The warriors on the planet were angry. They launched challenges to Lin Zhen in the Dimensional Universe one after another.

Starting with a man named Cao Yang from the Azure Dragon Holy Nation, Lin Zhen ignored him, and then the second, third, hundredth, and thousandth challengers came.

Lin Zhen didn't pay attention to anyone, which only fueled the arrogance of the Blue Bay Star people.

The internet was filled with ridicule, bashing the Lord's incompetence.

Even some Martial Artists trying to woo girls would show them a screenshot: "Look, even the Lord doesn't dare to accept my challenge. Don't you think I'm the most reliable man?"

Three months passed, and just as the fervor had slightly died down, Lin Zhen, the cheap Lord, surprisingly wanted to levy taxes on the Blue Bay Star!

This stirred a thousand-layer wave, and the Martial Artists of Blue Bay Star erupted in rage.

"This kid Lin Zhen is too arrogant! What gives him the right to tax us?"

"It's laughable, a person who can't even come to his own territory wants to tax us? Don't make us laugh our teeth out!"

"Stop talking! Let's see if Lin Zhen can collect our taxes when my sword doesn't agree!"

"Save it, that shrinking turtle Lin Zhen doesn't have the guts. If he dared to accept challenges, he would have accepted long ago."

"I guess if we don't give him taxes, he'll sue us in the Empire, haha!"

"Then let's fight the lawsuit. Let's see if he has the guts to come and get it himself, useless!"

The Martial Artists of Blue Bay Star were arrogant. In their eyes, Lin Zhen definitely wouldn't dare to accept their challenges, because even when the other Martial Artists who were less powerful than them challenged Lin Zhen, he didn't accept either. This was an incompetent Lord.

So in order to prove their courage, the martial artists didn't care about their own strength and all sent challenges to Lin Zhen in the Asura Arena!

Three days passed, and Lin Zhen still hadn't responded.

At this point, the people of Blue Bay Star were already scoffing at Lin Zhen, and some even prepared to advise Long Juetian, the Emperor of the Tianhe Empire, to replace the unqualified Lord Lin Zhen.

But what no one expected was that today, Lin Zhen suddenly accepted the challenge!

A letter from the Lord appeared on the forum of Blue Bay Star.

"People of Blue Bay Star, I am your Lord Lin Zhen. Recently, I have been too busy dealing with trivial matters in my territory, and I have not responded to you. Considering your disrespect towards me, I hereby make the following decisions."

"First, starting today, the tax on Blue Bay Star will be doubled, to be paid immediately, with a 10% increase per day for late payment!"

"Second, the four Great Holy Nations of Blue Bay Star will be under the management of the Earth Office, and the transfer of power will begin immediately."

"Third, I will send people to supervise Blue Bay Star, so please be prepared to receive them."

"Moreover, during this time, too many people have been provoking me in the Asura Arena. Today I will spare some time to play with you!"

Afterward, Lin Zhen made a shocking move.

He accepted the challenges of the martial artists of Blue Bay Star!

Lin Zhen didn't accept the martial artist challenges at the time, but he didn't refuse either, so the challenge messages were still there.

Lin Zhen checked and found that there were more than 8,000 challengers from Blue Bay Star!

He immediately ordered Chris: "Accept them all and use your system to analyze their strength from low to high. Don't miss any of them!"

Chris immediately began working and completed the task within a few seconds.

"Master, it's ready. When will the battles begin?"

Lin Zhen was not in a hurry, but rather, took many of his subordinates and headed towards the Permanent Crystal Spaceship.

Those who went with Lin Zhen included Zi Qianxia, Zi Shisan and Shiqi, as well as 50 Constant Star Stage experts and 300 Planet Stage experts.

He was now going to Blue Bay Star, and now that the decision had been made, he would completely subdue this planet.

Blue Bay Star was about four million Star Power away from Earth, which would be approximately five months at the speed of light.

Traveling through the parallel universe, it would only take a day to arrive, but Lin Zhen was not in a hurry, as he wanted to complete the challenges on the way.

After boarding the spaceship, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship started and set off for Blue Bay Star according to the interstellar coordinates.

"Alright, let's get ready to accept the challenges."

The spaceship entered space, and Lin Zhen accepted the challenges.

The martial artists of Blue Bay Star were boiling again!

They didn't expect the turtle-like Lord to actually dare to accept the challenges!

These martial artists immediately began a new round of clamoring, showing off screenshots of Lin Zhen accepting their challenges on the internet.

"Lin Zhen, I'm coming for you!"

"What kind of shitty lord are you? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

"I'm going to show you that Earth and Blue Bay Star aren't even in the same league, and you're not qualified to be arrogant here!"

"Come on, everyone, let's watch the fight in the Asura Arena. I'm number 18 in the challengers' line-up. You'll see me beating Lin Zhen soon."

"Sigh, it's my bad luck to be ranked over a thousand. By the time it's my turn, Lin Zhen will have lost his desire to fight due to the beatings from you guys."

Tickets were sold for the Asura Arena, and news of Lin Zhen's acceptance of challenges attracted not only the martial artists of Blue Bay Star but also those of Earth, and even people from other planets in the Solar Domain.

However, Lin Zhen had booked the entire arena, and the martial artists of Earth could watch for free.

As the virtual arena was infinitely large, the number of spectators in the Solar Domain could not be calculated once the news spread.

Especially in the first match, the Asura Arena was making a fortune from ticket sales.

Lin Zhen's first challenger was a martial artist named Wang Bojie from the Vermilion Bird Holy Nation of Blue Bay Star, at Satellite Level 1.

When he found out that he was the first challenger, he was overjoyed!

The first battle was definitely the most attention-grabbing, and in his eyes, Lin Zhen was just a Satellite Stage martial artist, not much different from himself in strength. If he could defeat Lin Zhen in this battle, he would become extremely famous!

The various benefits that fame would bring didn't need to be explained, so this was a huge opportunity.

He called all his friends and acquaintances to watch the Asura Arena battle.

At the agreed-upon time, people in the Dimensional Universe saw a flash before their eyes, and everyone took their seats in the Asura Arena.

Regardless of where they sat, everything inside the arena could be seen clearly.

The center of the arena was a huge circular stage with a diameter of one kilometer, and the surrounding seats were boundless. Roughly estimated, there were definitely more than 10 billion viewers!

Lin Zhen appeared in the Asura Arena first.

Dressed in silver, Lin Zhen stood in the middle of the Asura Arena with his hands behind his back.

At the start of the battle, Lin Zhen addressed the spectators first, "To all the people watching the fight, you all come from the Solar Domain. Today, I am here in the Asura Arena to accept the challenges of the martial artists of Blue Bay Star. In total, there are 8,120 matches. If I lose any of them, my demands towards Blue Bay Star will be null and void. If I win them all, you people from various Life Stars better listen up: immediately make up for the double tax payment, or don't blame me for being an unkind Lord!"

Translator: 549690339

As Lin Zhen finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted from the surrounding area.

Perhaps some were cursing him, some doubt him, and some were unconvinced. The shouting of tens of billions of people gathered together, as if to overturn the heavens and earth, could easily cause the timid to break down mentally.

Lin Zhen sneered, thinking to himself, yell all you want, I'd like to see how much courage you have to challenge me; I hope you can last a little longer.

At this moment, a burst of warm applause erupted from the audience where the Blue Bay Star residents were seated.

Because their first contestant had entered the stage.

Although this person named Wang Bojie was not well-known on Blue Bay Star, and the vast majority of people did not know who he was, since he was challenging Lin Zhen, he was worth supporting.

Wang Bojie had even specially changed into a stunning outfit for today's battle. The divine armor with golden-red scales, the top-quality Holy Artifact necklace for mental defense, and the fiery-red Holy Artifact cloak made him look tall and mighty, with an impressive appearance.

After entering the stage, he even took a flight around the arena.

Flying past the edge of the stands, bursts of flame erupted from his palms and danced through the sky, creating a grand spectacle.

Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Wang Bojie was in high spirits as he flew around the stage and then descended above Lin Zhen's head.

With his cloak fluttering behind him, Wang Bojie had a cold, icy expression as he looked down on Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, you made a grave mistake by putting me in the first position. I guess you must have randomly chosen from among the many challengers. Otherwise, if you knew my past, you wouldn't have had the courage to do so."

Lin Zhen looked up at the slowly descending Wang Bojie and said, "Putting you first is my way of defeating the Blue Bay Star contestants from weakest to strongest, giving you a constant sense of hope, only to be met with eternal despair."

"What did you say? From weakest to strongest! Are you saying I'm the weakest challenger from Blue Bay Star?" Wang Bojie was instantly enraged.

With a lift of his hand, he drew a seven-colored sword, which created a rainbow in the air as it swung.

Lin Zhen gently opened his mouth, "You talk too much. I don't want to waste time with people like you anymore. Those who follow me shall prosper, and those who oppose me shall perish. The authority of a Lord is not something you can afford to offend!"

"How dare you!"

Wang Bojie roared as his star power exploded. His sword transformed into countless sword shadows that covered the sky!

This move may have many flaws in the eyes of a master, but masters were always in the minority.

After all, Wang Bojie was still at the Satellite Stage, and even on a small asteroid, he could dominate. Therefore, 99.9999% of the people watching thought his sword was nearly invincible.

At this moment, cheers erupted again.

"This Blue Bay Star martial artist is not bad!"

"Of course, otherwise, who would dare challenge the Lord?"

"Lin Zhen is also at the Planet Stage now; he shouldn't be so easily defeated, right?"

"It's hard to say since there are often cases of defeating opponents of a higher level. In my opinion, he has a higher chance of losing this battle."

"If that's the case, it would be too boring. He still has more than 8,000 battles to fight. If he loses consecutively, will he commit suicide?"

"Hahaha! It's good if he commits suicide, then we can switch to a different Lord."

This was the opinion of ordinary people, but in the eyes of masters, Lin Zhen couldn't possibly lose this match.

After all, Lin Zhen was Red Star Shura and could even defeat opponents at the Constant Star Stage. If he were to lose to this flashy Satellite Stage opponent, it would truly be a joke.

It was certain that Lin Zhen would win, but though his opponent had weak power, his defensive artifacts were well-armed. If Lin Zhen couldn't defeat him with a decisive strike, then Lin Zhen would not be worth fearing.

As they speculated on how Lin Zhen would respond, he made his move!

He didn't move his hands, feet, or even a strand of hair. The only movement was in his eyelids!

Lin Zhen, who had been slightly drooping his eyes, suddenly looked up at Wang Bojie.

Mental Shock!

An invisible and colorless spiritual power directly hit Wang Bojie's head!

Though Wang Bojie had a top-quality Holy Artifact for mental defense, Lin Zhen's spiritual power had reached the Sky Blue middle stage, and even a lower-grade divine artifact could not withstand it!

It was as if the sound of a needle piercing through a balloon echoed inside Wang Bojie's mind. The sound was not loud, but it could directly burst his Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

"Puff~~~~!!!!!"

Wang Bojie's pupils dilated abruptly, as everything in his vision turned to darkness and he suffered brain death!

His leaping body suddenly lost control of his brain, and he fell headfirst to the ground.

Thud!

With a heavy impact, his face smashed into the ground. The mental defense necklace on his neck shattered, and his sword rolled away to one side.

Dead!

The cheers of the audience came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

Those who had been cheering for him seemed to be collectively choked, as their cheers were swallowed whole, stuck in their throats midchant.

What had just happened?

How did Wang Bojie's powerful sword suddenly lose its momentum midswing, as if he had suddenly gone mad, and then fall to his death?

Lin Zhen didn't seem to have done anything!

The scene fell silent, and it seemed as if time had frozen for a few seconds.

It wasn't until Wang Bojie's corpse disappeared that someone said, "Spiritual Mind Master, the Lord is a Spiritual Mind Master at such a high level!"

A Planet-level Spiritual Mind Master was enough to deter many people.

Lin Zhen's cold gaze swept across the crowd, the flash of green in his pupils sending a shudder through everyone each time their eyes met his. They clenched their mouths shut, feeling that this Lord was terrifying.

As Lin Zhen turned his gaze away, they felt ashamed for having been frightened by just a single glance. They couldn't help but long for someone to defeat Lin Zhen even more.

"Chris, the next one, there are more than 8,000 matches, when will it end at this pace?"

"Yes, Master, speeding up the Asura Arena."

A figure flashed, and the second person appeared in the arena.

These more than 8,000 people are all Martial Artists from Blue Bay Star, and the second one is also at Satellite Level 1.

As soon as this Martial Artist entered the arena, he immediately assumed a defensive posture: "Lin Zhen, don't think that defeating someone dressed like a turkey makes you invincible. Don't compare me to that kind of person; my name is…".

"Puff~~~!!!"

Before the Martial Artist could finish introducing himself, Lin Zhen had already launched a mental shock.

Brain death without suspense!

"Next one!"

Lin Zhen's cold and emotionless voice made the slightly restless scene quiet down again.

"What a ruthless heart, not even letting people introduce themselves."

"This is so arrogant!"

"I really hope someone can come out and blow his arrogance away."

People from Blue Bay Star were whispering, and the third Martial Artist came on stage.

This Martial Artist, dressed in black, had learned his lesson from the previous failures. As soon as he entered the arena, he concentrated his mind and quickly retreated, hoping to first get out of Lin Zhen's mental shock range and then look for a chance to counterattack.

However, he didn't know how extensive the coverage of Lin Zhen's Sky Blue Spiritual Power would be.

Not only in the thousand-meter Asura Arena, but also within tens of thousands of meters, Lin Zhen's mental shock had penetrated everywhere.

As soon as he retreated and dashed backward, he had become a corpse by the time he landed.

"Next one!"

The cold voice sounded again, making the people of Blue Bay Star shiver.

"I know the fourth one. The fourth Martial Artist is a Spiritual Mind Master, he must be able to resist Lin Zhen's mental shock."

"Someone quickly teach this arrogant fellow a lesson!"

Lin Zhen's cold-blooded arrogance had enraged the people of Blue Bay Star. The honor of their ethnic group was being provoked, and they howled, waved their arms, and eagerly expected their planet's warriors to come on stage.

Just as the fourth Martial Artist was about to appear, Lin Zhen told Chris: "Speed up the gap between Martial Artists, and let the second person appear within 0.1 seconds of the first person's failure."

"Understood!"

The fourth Martial Artist appeared. As soon as he appeared, the whole person rushed towards Lin Zhen, uniting man and sword, and launched a mental shock at Lin Zhen, concentrating all his knowledge in this one blow.

"Puff~~~!!!"

Head exploded, without suspense!

Lin Zhen didn't want to have any more nonsense with these people and directly went for a fierce mental shock. This not only shattered the opponent's Spiritual Consciousness Sea but also directly burst the opponent's head.

Blood and brain matter splashed into the sky and quickly disappeared.

This time, without giving people from Blue Bay Star time to lament or get angry, the fifth Martial Artist immediately appeared.

Mental shock once again!

This Martial Artist had no chance to react and, just like the fourth one, his head burst spectacularly.

Before his corpse even had a chance to disappear, the sixth Martial Artist had come on stage.

Lin Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, not even opening his eyes this time, and directly launched the mental shock.

Another beautiful head exploded 100 meters away from Lin Zhen.

Although the appearance positions of each person were random, Lin Zhen's spiritual power covered the entire field, and he knew immediately where someone appeared, followed by an instant mental shock.

"Fifty meters ahead, explode!"

"One hundred and thirty meters to the right, explode!"

"Four hundred and fifty-five meters behind, explode!"

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff~~~~~!!!"

Chris set the appearance time of each Martial Artist to within 0.1 seconds, which meant that the second person appeared immediately after the first one died. This negligible time difference created a scene like hell.

Lin Zhen stood in the center of the arena, surrounded by heads exploding everywhere, blood flying in the sky, and people falling and dying one by one.

Neither famous nor unknown figures from Blue Bay Star could escape this lethal mental shock!

Blood seemed to boil and fly up, corpses falling one after another, utterly powerless to fight back.

Ten matches…fifty matches…one hundred matches…three hundred matches…!!!

The Asura Arena probably never had such a killing speed, with at least five people falling per second!

"Oh no!"

"This can't be real!"

"The Devil, our Lord must be a devil!"

People in the crowd clenched their fists, bit their lips, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, but they did not dare to even breathe heavily.

Only now did they know what kind of lord they had drawn.

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Advancing to a 4-Crowned Asura King!

Translator: 549690339

People had never seen such a fighting style before.

They had all seen Spiritual Mind Masters, but no one had ever thought a Spiritual Mind Master could be so strong!

Those with low power were horrified and screamed, closing their eyes, not daring to watch, while those with higher power tried to suppress their fear and observe the details of Lin Zhen's Mental Shock.

As the frequency of Mental Shocks increased, Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power began to reveal itself gradually.

After months of hard work, Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power had once again made progress, reaching 55% Sky Blue.

So when he used his power frequently, the sky blue Spiritual Power over half of his body became more and more obvious.

A streak of blue accurately hitting every contestant's brain, knocking them all down without any suspense.

"Sky Blue Spiritual Power!"

"Heaven, it's really the power of Sky Blue, he's so strong, and he's already in the middle stage of Sky Blue!"

The threshold between Diamond Period and Sky Blue Level was unusually high for Spiritual Mind Masters. Out of a thousand Diamond Level Spiritual Mind Masters, there might not even be one at the Sky Blue Level.

This kind of Spiritual Mind Master starting a competition, even the Diamond Peak level of Spiritual Power couldn't resist.

To fight against a mid-stage Sky Blue Spiritual Mind Master, you need to have a middle-grade Divine Artifact of Mental Defense, and at least be a Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master.

Or you are yourself a Spiritual Mind Master in the early stage of Sky Blue, then with a Lower Grade Divine Artifact, you can withstand it.

Otherwise, you absolutely wouldn't be able to withstand Lin Zhen's Mental Shocks.

Not to mention how scarce Sky Blue Spiritual Mind Masters are, who can get a middle-grade Mental Defense artifact?

So fighting against Lin Zhen, if you don't meet these two standards, you shouldn't even think about fighting.

Those who were ranked highly had low average power, so they didn't have such strong Spiritual Power or the ability to obtain such good artifacts, and they could only be madly slaughtered by Lin Zhen!

Yes, it was a mad slaughter!

Blood spurted like a fountain everywhere, and no one could withstand Lin Zhen's Mental Shocks.

At first, people thought that more than 8,000 battles would not end anytime soon, but under Lin Zhen's mad slaughter, the battles went surprisingly fast.

Killing five people per second, three hundred per minute, and three thousand in ten minutes!

Twenty minutes, a full twenty minutes had passed!

The people present had witnessed a mad performance, a bloody slaughter!

More than 8,000 challengers, and now only 2,000 were left!

In the beginning, it was the Satellite Stage. The level was relatively low, and people placed their hopes on the higher-level satellites. But high-level satellites were no exception; they were all madly headshot by Lin Zhen.

Then they hoped for the Planet Stage, but it was useless. They couldn't withstand Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power and had no counterattack power at all. They still fell one by one.

When Lin Zhen had killed more than 6,000 people, the Martial Artists who appeared had already reached Planet level 6-7, and the weak ones had been killed off.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Look at Lin Zhen's level; he has actually been promoted to Asura King!"

People then noticed that the Red Star Asura symbol on Lin Zhen's chest had turned into Asura King at some point.

The original red star on the chest had turned into three crowns!

When people checked Lin Zhen's information, they were horrified to find that his battle record had become 7,120 wins and 41 losses!

Three crown Asura King!

A thousand victories would be promoted to one-star, two thousand victories would be two-star, four thousand victories would be three-star, and if the win rate reached 99%, it would be crowned with three crowns!

Lin Zhen had already won more than 7,000 times. If he completed 8,000 wins, he would be a four-crown Asura King!

"Damn it, we actually let Lin Zhen brush up to Three Crown Asura King, you waste!"

"Fellow Blue Bay Stars, can you stop letting any cat or dog challenge Lin Zhen? This Lord is not a dish that everyone can beat!"

"Where are the experts? Where are the experts? How come none of our Blue Bay Star's many super experts are showing up? All those who are coming out are these incompetent people, and now you have made Lin Zhen arrogant enough, you have lost all the face of Blue Bay Star!"

It wasn't until then that the people of Blue Bay Star realized how foolish they were to provoke Lin Zhen so recklessly.

Maybe provoking Lin Zhen wasn't a mistake, but it was a mistake for just anyone to dare to challenge Lin Zhen.

These people wanted to prove their strength and courage, and they thought Lin Zhen was weak and wouldn't accept any challenges, so they took this matter as a badge of courage. However, they ended up greatly fuelling Lin Zhen's rise.

Twenty minutes to be promoted to Asura King could be the fastest in history.

The Asura Arena prohibits maliciously brushing up battle records, as every battle undergoes assessment. For example, if a person continuously challenges another person, only the first victory will count, and subsequent victories won't count.

For large-scale challenges, there is even a special investigation to prevent the easy emergence of Asura Kings.

An Asura King's status is extremely high in the Sanjiang Star Federated Union, and within a lower-level civilized Universe Country, it is second only to the Emperor's position.

For example, Lin Zhen, a genuine Asura King, if he returned to Tianhe Empire and wanted to be an official, he could definitely become a prince!

But such an important position was born so easily!

The martial artists of Blue Bay Star madly provoke, giving Lin Zhen a justified excuse to brush up to Three Crown Asura King in one breath, and even challenge Four Crowns.

"Stop him! Call the experts to stop him!"

"It's useless, he set the order of the battles, we can only follow his order. The real experts are in the back, but don't worry, once the Planet Level competitors appear, he won't be so arrogant."

"Yes, I just saw Huo Li preparing. He is already at Planet Ninth-level and has a middle-grade mental defense artifact. He can definitely stop Lin Zhen's mental shock."

"Great, finally we don't have to watch Lin Zhen's crazy slaughter fest."

"Lin Zhen! If you have the guts, have a real battle with our Blue Bay Star martial artists instead of using such despicable methods. What kind of hero are you?"

Lin Zhen completely ignored these people, his goal was to obtain the Four Crown Asura King.

The prince's position was indeed good, but what was more important was that the Four Crown Asura King was considered a mid-level Asura King, with a special privilege.

That is, using the Asura Arena's simulated battle space!

The simulated space is more advanced than the virtual space, allowing any battle scenario to be set up, and even breakthroughs and comprehension could be achieved during fights!

This was a high-level technology exclusive to Universe Country civilizations, where only some royal families and mid-level Asura Kings could enjoy it in the Sanjiang Star Domain.

With the simulated space, Lin Zhen could set up battlefields based on his needs, and his progress would surely improve rapidly!

As for other privileges, there were countless: high-amount interest-free loans with ten-thousand-year repayment terms, high-level treatment throughout the Sanjiang Star Domain, many legal exemptions, and so on.

So, he had to win!

His spiritual power was still being output wildly. One advantage of the Asura Arena battles was that after each battle, Lin Zhen's condition would recover to its best, so no matter how much he consumed, his spiritual power would be full.

7200 wins…!

7500 wins…!

7800 wins…!

When Lin Zhen's record reached 7,800 victories, he felt the people from Blue Bay Star stand go wild, as if some extraordinary person had entered the battlefield.

The opponents now were all Planet Ninth-level!

"Looks like I finally have to face someone who needs me to take action. Bring it on."

"Chris, slow down the pace, the real battles are about to begin."

"Yes, Master."

Chris slowed down the intensity of the Asura Arena battles, and the gory scenes filled with brain matter finally disappeared.

This allowed the people of Blue Bay Star to breathe a sigh of relief. Although they knew it was virtual, no one wanted to see such scenes. They wanted to see normal battles, not a massacre.

Another Planet Ninth-level martial artist fell before Lin Zhen, and then the next opponent entered the arena.

"Huo Li! Huo Li! Huo Li!"

Lin Zhen sneered; this must be a star martial artist of the Blue Bay Star.

When they saw Huo Li not getting killed by a single blow from Lin Zhen like the other martial artists, the people of Blue Bay Star were immediately boiling with excitement.

"Lin Zhen! You are finished!"

"Let you see the true experts of our Xuanwu Shenguo Kingdom, the previous fights didn't count. Now the real battle begins."

Lin Zhen looked at Huo Li, a Gold Star Asura with a Planet Ninth-level.

More importantly, this man wore a mental defense necklace around his neck: Lower Grade Divine Artifact.

Moreover, he was a Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master.

"Hehe, it seems you really can resist my Mental Shock. But I don't understand your thinking. Do you think my only move is the Mental Shock?"

Huo Li saw Lin Zhen not launching a mental shock and breathed a sigh of relief. Holding a long knife in both hands, he pointed at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, your performance is over. Now I will give you your first defeat after becoming an Asura King."

With a leap, Huo Li rushed forward!

Extremely fast!

Lin Zhen snorted disdainfully, watching Huo Li charge towards him. As Huo Li approached, Lin Zhen suddenly used his mind.

Space Cut!

A space rift appeared, and Huo Li was shocked. The space rift was thin like hair, but it was the sharpest blade. If he were to be cut, he would definitely be severed in two.

He tried to teleport away, but Lin Zhen's time acceleration enveloped him and increased his forward speed tenfold!

Without enough time to teleport, Huo Li was instantly bisected by the spatial rift!

His body split into two halves and fell to the ground. The battle ended.

The scene fell silent!

However, the next battle started immediately, and the martial artists who followed still couldn't withstand Lin Zhen's mental shock.

Five minutes later, Lin Zhen's opponent reached the Constant Star Stage.

At this point, he also achieved 8,000 victories, and the crowns on his chest changed from three to four.

Advanced to Four Crown Asura King!

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: The Confrontation of the Asura King

Translator: 549690339

Watching Lin Zhen advancing all the way to become the Four Crown Asura King, the martial artists of Blue Bay Star were holding their breath.

Isn't it just that he won by defeating weaker opponents? In the upcoming battles, his opponents are all at the Constant Star Stage. His arrogance won't last long.

The first opponent at the Constant Star Stage took to the stage.

Being able to cultivate to the Constant Star Stage, even without sky blue Spiritual Power, they should be able to acquire an artifact for mental defense.

Even if they don't have one themselves, they can borrow from friends. Lin Zhen had pushed them back, giving them time to borrow.

So Lin Zhen's Mental Shock was effective till now. From this point on, the fights would truly test their skills.

Considering the opponent who stepped forward, Lin Zhen employed the Yin-Yang Spear.

"Lord, your performance has earned my respect, but I won't hold back."

"Cut the crap!"

With a flick of the Yin-Yang Spear, it stabbed out like a meteor crashing down!

Indestructible, time acceleration!

With the spear reaching its limit in terms of power and speed, the Constant Star Stage expert was surprisingly unable to block even a single attack and was directly blasted out of the arena!

Those who had just been cheering for him were silenced again. They felt depressed watching this Asura Arena, where everyone who stepped onto the stage lost so cleanly and efficiently.

Could no one really restrain Lin Zhen?

Those fighters who hadn't yet fought saw Lin Zhen's attack, and their hearts were chilled.

They didn't fear Lin Zhen's mental shock, but they saw the power of the spear attack. This genuine ability would be hard for anyone to resist.

Being a lord with exceptional Spiritual Power and even more formidable actual combat capabilities, Lin Zhen provided no way for his opponents to counter. Many regretted their previous challenges, but it was too late now.

In the following continuous battles, Lin Zhen no longer used Mental Shock. However, his spear striking like a falling meteor from outer space was unavoidable for his opponents.

Any teleportation attempt was nothing more than a joke in front of Lin Zhen. Whether it was against anyone, Lin Zhen could effortlessly disrupt their moves, forcing opponents to face his newly-learned attack.

A series of consecutive victories began, with Constant Star Stage opponents unable to stop Lin Zhen's march to victory.

One by one, Gold Star Shuras were defeated, and Lin Zhen's victories kept on rising.

Two hours later, Lin Zhen's victories had reached 9100!

With only 20 fights remaining of the 8120 battles.

At this point, a Constant Star Level Nine Red Star Shura finally took to the stage.

However, the highly anticipated Red Star Shura also failed to defeat Lin Zhen. The first Red Star Shura lost after fighting for one minute, and the second one lasted only one minute and fifteen seconds.

Then came the third… the fourth…

Lin Zhen's latest comprehension of the Meteor Spear Technique was indeed powerful. Combined with a multitude of tactics, he was difficult to guard against. The Red Star Shuras could use all their skills but still couldn't stop his victory march.

"Cao Yang! Cao Yang!"

"Martial God! Martial God!"

"Lin Zhen, your time is up! Let you see the power of the strongest person on Blue Bay Star!"

"How can you compare with Cao Yang? You're inferior to even an ant!"

In the midst of the loud cheering, Lin Zhen gazed at the man who appeared in front of him.

With a white long spear in hand, the fierce, wild, and Constant Star Level Nine Spiritual Mind Master finally appeared.

"Is this the first person from Blue Bay Star to challenge me?"

"Master, this is the last battle. After defeating him, all battles will be over."

Lin Zhen glanced at the opponent's record, showing over 70,000 victories in the Asura Arena.

Moreover, the opponent's win rate astonishingly reached 99%!

Seven Crown Asura King!

Lin Zhen took a deep breath. Of the more than 8000 fights in this round, only this one was of concern to him. After his clone was promoted to Planet Stage, Lin Zhen knew that ordinary Constant Star Stage opponents were no match for him.

Before Cao Yang could speak, countless people from Blue Bay Star had already set off a huge wave of cheers. The crowd performed continuous worshiping actions, clearly showing the high prestige this person held on Blue Bay Star.

It seemed that Cao Yang relished the process. It wasn't until the surging crowd had done it three times that he slowly raised his hand and pressed it down.

The noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

At this moment, Cao Yang slowly spoke to Lin Zhen: "Lord Lin Zhen, I have to say that your luck is really good. Just a few days before I was prepared to apply to become a Lord, you succeeded in becoming one. Because of a difference of 50 billion Tianhe Coins, this star domain became your territory."

Lin Zhen glanced at the seven crowns on his opponent's chest: "As a Seven Crown Asura King, you could apply for territory in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. Why would you stay in the Tianhe Empire?"

"Nothing else, because Blue Bay Star is my hometown."

Cao Yang's long spear pointed at Lin Zhen: "You have taken the position that originally belonged to me, so I was the first to challenge you, but you are cunning and did not accept my challenge at first, but waited until after the breakthrough to show off your prowess here. Unfortunately, you were careless and forgot to refuse my challenge, so despite your glory for a while, in the end, you will have an embarrassing outcome!"

"Haha! Cao Yang, you think too highly of yourself. While a seven-crown Asura King does have considerable strength, you are just at the Constant Star Stage, and not being a Lord proves that your strength is insufficient."

"Ignorance! It's only because I don't have enough money…"

"Money is also a part of strength. I have money, so I can become a Lord. I can buy a group of Constant Star Stage slaves, and they can level Blue Bay Star, which is something you, Cao Yang, can't compare to!"

Cao Yang's face turned red with embarrassment, as having no money was indeed a source of awkwardness for him. However, money wasn't that easy to earn. Over the years, he had spent most of his time fighting in the Asura Arena, in order to obtain the title of Asura King and then secure a loan to become a Lord.

But the news of Lin Zhen's lordship came after years of waiting and when Cao Yang was just short of money. How could he feel content with it?

"Lin Zhen, you have successfully enraged me! I will challenge you consecutively, and you won't be able to survive in the Asura Arena anymore!"

"Ice Domain!"

Ice elements exploded around him, and a white snow domain instantly appeared.

"Galaxy Domain!"

Lin Zhen also immediately activated his Galaxy Domain, facing this seven-crown Asura King, he dared not to be negligent.

The long spear and halberd clashed, domains overlapped and interwoven. In the midst of battle, Lin Zhen discovered that Cao Yang was also a Sky Blue Level Spiritual Mind Master, only slightly weaker than himself.

Both of them did not employ teleportation and fought with their real abilities!

All the spectators were on edge, and no one dared to underestimate Lin Zhen, as the Lord had become like a great demon king in their hearts.

Among the crowd watching the battle, Han Sha and Jie Li were also present. They had been watching the fight since the beginning.

"Who do you hope will win?" Han Sha asked.

"Hehe! You really have me stumped with that question. One is the designated person we chose to participate in the under-100-year-old concentration camp, and the other is a warrior who has already joined us and successfully taken Beast King Genetic Fluid. They're both our own people, so who should I choose?"

Han Sha couldn't help but nod: "Yeah, Cao Yang has been using Genetic Fluid for ten years, and he's 99 years old this year. He has reached Constant Star Level 9, which means he's a peerless genius. He's also one of the participants in this year's 100-year concentration camp, and we were hoping that he could achieve a good result. We never expected him to face Lin Zhen."

Hearing Han Sha's somewhat regretful tone, Jie Li asked, "So, who do you hope will win?"

Han Sha grinned, "Actually, we both know the answer."

"Hehe, we do think alike. We hope Lin Zhen will win because Lin Zhen is not at a disadvantage against Cao Yang right now, and he has just reached Planet Level 1 and hasn't used genetic fluid yet. If he uses genetic fluid afterwards… hehe! I am looking forward to his performance in the Under-100-Year-Old Concentration Camp."

"Perhaps he will be the champion?" Han Sha laughed.

"Champion… I wouldn't dare to entertain that thought. The Universe Country of Sanjiang Star Domain has never achieved such a good result. Most peerless geniuses are born in the imperial capitals after all, as they are high-level cosmic civilizations. It's too difficult for the intermediate-level cosmic nations to even achieve top results, let alone the championship."

"Let's not make wild guesses anymore. This time, the 100-year-old concentration camp will be held within the World Stone, and we still don't know what form it will take."

"Yeah, that's true, but I'm getting a bit impatient. Lin Zhen's performance has been a pleasant surprise."

"Hehe! Let's not speak too soon. Maybe he will lose to Cao Yang."

"It's indeed hard to say, I see Cao Yang is about to unleash his bloodline power."

Between the two's conversation, the battle on the field had already intensified.

A series of fiery energy bursts danced in the air, the rumbling elemental explosions caused space to tremble, and the two men darted about chaotically amidst the ice and fierce fire. Domains overlapped and suppressed one another, entangling each other.

The confrontation between the long spear and halberd shook the heavens, each strike was incredibly precise. When fast, it was like a lightning storm, and when slow, it was enough to send chills down one's spine.

However, as the battle carried on, Lin Zhen gradually gained the upper hand.

Although Lin Zhen could not match Cao Yang in terms of absolute Star Power, his outstanding battle talent and numerous skills gave him the upper hand.

Spatial rifts crisscrossed, and Cao Yang's attacks were often interrupted. Moreover, Lin Zhen's sudden acceleration made it even more difficult for him to keep up.

His moves would be abruptly thwarted, time after time, and exhausted from the struggle, Cao Yang could barely take it anymore.

"Lin Zhen! Enough! The battle ends here!"

With a roar, Cao Yang's clothes on his back were suddenly torn apart.

Rows of arms emerged from his back, not illusions – each pair of hands was real!

Each hand held a different weapon, and upon seeing this, Lin Zhen inexplicably thought of a deity called Thousand-Hand Guanyin from the Earth's history.

Cao Yang hovered in the air, coldly staring at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, you are able to withstand my single pair of hands, but how will you resist my simultaneous attack of a hundred pairs of hands? Die!"

Over a hundred pairs of hands launched a fierce torrential assault on Lin Zhen!

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: The Power of Genes

Translator: 549690339

Upon seeing Cao Yang's appearance, Lin Zhen immediately understood.

This was another genetically enhanced individual.

Unlike Anderson, who was almost a mutant, he was successfully enhanced, but the genetic fluid he used came not from a Galaxy Beast.

About half of the enhancers use Mutated Beast genes, and of the rest, half use Beast King genes.

Of the remaining quarter, half use low-level Galaxy Beast genes. Anderson was at this level, only he was a failure.

Then come the intermediate and advanced Galaxy Beast genes.

As for the most powerful Super Galaxy Beast genes, these were rarer than one in ten thousand.

Now, Cao Yang, in his Beast King battle formation, should have been fortified by the gene of a mutated ice centipede.

Centipedes have many legs, and when applied to humans, it means multiple arms.

Cao Yang had hundreds of additional arms, with countless weapons assaulting Lin Zhen.

In Cao Yang's view, Lin Zhen could not possibly withstand his attack. How could a pair of hands compete with his hundred pairs of hands!

Lin Zhen held his breath, his feet swiftly maneuvering the Plum Blossom Piles stance, and when Cao Yang's storm of attacks arrived, the Yin-Yang Spear fiercely thrusted out!

Meteor!

A meteor flew in from the outer space, fiercely opposing the storm of weapons!

"Haha! You fool, how can your single spear withstand the force of my hundred hands. Die!"

Lin Zhen hooked his lips in a faint sneer, disregarding Cao Yang's taunts. When the two torrents collided, he suddenly exerted his full power!

The meteor exploded!

Countless pieces of meteorite debris burst out like a geyser of rocks, successfully blocking Cao Yang's attack in the air!

The sight of a large-scale explosion, the bodies of the two men shaking within the shockwaves of the collision!

The virtual ground of the Asura Arena was flattened by the constant booming and automatically fixed itself, before being blasted into pits again. This process was a rapid contest of their raw powers, whoever exhausted their strength first would lose!

Lin Zhen was also madly exerting his star power, the force of the collision making his bones weak.

This was a test of Star Power, but even more so, a test of physical strength.

"Lin Zhen! Stop resisting, my body has been enhanced with genetic fluid, there's no way your feeble human body could compete with mine!"

Lin Zhen, enduring the fatigue in his body, continued to strike back, his feet sinking into the ground.

Just when he felt he could go no further, a rush of heat surged up within him.

This force came from every cell, every muscle, allowing him to continue.

"This is the power of Xiao Nuan, my symbiote is the body of the Super Star River Beast, Fire Kirin, so my genes are the most powerful. It's just that my bloodline power has not yet been awakened, but with the basic strength of this body, I have no fear of Cao Yang's Beast King power!"

"If I can really get the Fire Kirin's bloodline gene and awaken the potential within me, how powerful could this body be?"

"I must get the Genetic Potion as soon as possible!"

Under the relentless onslaught of Cao Yang, Lin Zhen's potential was ignited a bit, this was enough to counter Cao Yang!

After a drawn-out minute of collision, Lin Zhen held on, and Cao Yang's strength was now insufficient to sustain his heavy attack.

The hundreds of arms behind his body grew weak and were eventually forced to rest.

"Impossible! It's not possible! You have actually withstood my hundred-hand attack with just the power of a single spear!"

With the cessation of the fight, Cao Yang incredulously stared at Lin Zhen as if he were a monster.

"Did you also enhance your gene bloodline?"

"You don't need to know that much, it's my turn to attack now!"

"Galaxy Domain!"

With a raise of his hand, the Galaxy Domain reopened, and in just a second seven planets condensed in the air. He prepared to finish the fight with a Starburst.

It was now a period of exhaustion for Cao Yang, although brief, it was enough to determine the outcome of the fight. This was the benefit of strong bloodline power.

"You can't defeat me! The position of Lord is mine!"

Cao Yang roared angrily, finally unleashing his last resort.

From his forehead, a green poisonous fog wrapped in white freezing air sprayed out, instantly enveloping Lin Zhen.

Seeing that Lin Zhen failed to dodge, Cao Yang began to laugh loudly: "You are finished, it's the poison of the Ice Centipede, enough to turn you into blood-water in just a second, goodbye, Lin Zhen!"

He laughed heartily a few times, but soon he stopped laughing.

Lin Zhen was still controlling those planets, rapidly setting up a trap around Cao Yang, and then initiated a ferocious Starburst.

Cao Yang couldn't withstand this torrent of explosions with his enhanced Ice Centipede's body. After the successive explosions of dozens of planets, he could no longer hold on!

"Why? Why are you not poisoned?"

"There's no need for you to know that, Cao Yang, you of the Blue Bay Star have lost!"

With a lift of Lin Zhen's hand, four more planets appeared inside the Galaxy Domain, surrounding Cao Yang from four directions and exploding simultaneously!

In a burst of intense light, Cao Yang's body was shattered and reduced to ashes!

Watching as Cao Yang's body disappeared on the spot, Lin Zhen raised his hand to disperse the lingering toxins from the air.

"Hmph! Trying to poison me…you've only humiliated yourself!"

Looking up at the surrounding audience, Lin Zhen declared loudly: "The battle is over. I hope you haven't forgotten what I said before it began. Submit all your tax payments, and your governing bodies should immediately transfer their power to my office. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The scene fell silent as everyone from the Solar Territory was intimidated by Lin Zhen's overwhelming martial force, daring not to utter a sound.

However, many still harbored the hope that since Lin Zhen could not physically reach their planets, they didn't need to surrender or face any consequences.

Of course, Lin Zhen was well aware of their thoughts, but he didn't bother wasting time arguing and simply called the Asura Arena off.

As the scene disappeared, everyone withdrew from the Dimensional Universe.

The folks from the Solar Territory were now watching, waiting to see Blue Bay Star's response. If Blue Bay Star stood firm, they wouldn't pay the taxes either.

There were indeed some people on Blue Bay Star's forum expressing discontent, saying that if Lin Zhen was capable, he could come and collect the taxes himself instead of abiding quietly on Earth!

However, top-notch fighters like Cao Yang stayed silent, knowing full well that with Lin Zhen's power, he could very well reach Blue Bay Star sooner or later.

What they didn't anticipate was that Lin Zhen would arrive so quickly.

Just three minutes after the end of the Asura Arena, Lin Zhen's Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was spotted in the skies above Blue Bay Star.

"Master, we've arrived at Blue Bay Star."

"Call out all the important figures on this planet. I want them to present themselves before my spaceship within ten minutes. Any latecomers will be deemed traitors!"

Gazing down at the beautiful planet below, where the sea areas were even more vast than those on Earth, Lin Zhen issued his command.

The call went out throughout the Dimensional Universe, and the news of Lin Zhen's arrival was immediately disseminated throughout Blue Bay Star.

This news crushed the hopes of those who wished for a stroke of good fortune.

A lord with immense power, possessing a spaceship capable of light-speed travel, demonstrated his formidable wealth. Such a lord was nearly impossible to contend with.

After the bloodshed in the Asura Arena, no one doubted that Lin Zhen was ruthless. Nobody dared to defy his orders at this point.

Within ten minutes, all the summoned individuals from Blue Bay Star had congregated before the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

As Blue Bay Star's most powerful fighter, Cao Yang stood at the front of the crowd, staring at the spaceship crafted entirely from Permanent Crystal, finally grasping the vast difference between him and Lin Zhen.

Just this spaceship alone was likely a wealth that he could never hope to attain.

After standing below for a full hour, the spaceship's door finally opened, and a hundred Constant Star Stage experts emerged first.

These individuals took positions on both sides, followed by two Black Wing Clan warriors stepping out.

"Constant Star Level Nine! Constant Star Level Nine Spiritual Mind Master! That's almost on par with the Martial God, Cao Yang!"

The crowd below murmured among themselves.

Zi Shisan and Zi Shiqi stood at the front of the line, and then a beautiful figure appeared at the spaceship's entrance.

The stunning Black Wing Clan princess, Zi Qianxia, stepped out.

"My god! She is at the Late Black Hole Stage!"

"She's about to become a Star System Term Expert, and she's not even a slave. Who is this person?"

"Is Lin Zhen planning to wipe out our planet? Even if every single one of us on this planet joined hands, we still couldn't stand against these hundred or so people."

"Damn, why was I so blinded with greed, challenging the Lord back then? I hope he doesn't hold a grudge against me for challenging him and frame me for some crime."

"Get over it. There's no way he'd remember you. You were merely one of the thousands whose heads he blew up in an instant. You're not worth remembering."

Under the attentive gaze of the onlookers, Zi Qianxia curtsied slightly, inviting Lin Zhen to step out of the cabin door.

With Zi Qianxia's support, Lin Zhen descended from the spaceship, looking down at the crowd below.

"Have you forgotten my words?"

King of the Azure Dragon Holy Nation said with his forehead covered in sweat: "Respected Lord, we haven't forgotten. It's just that you came so quickly, we didn't have time to send the taxes over. However, with your personal visit, it's even better as we can deliver them to you directly."

"Remember, it's double the amount!"

"Yes, yes, absolutely double, not a cent less."

Lin Zhen slowly walked down to where Cao Yang was standing and paused: "Do you still want to be a Lord?"

Cao Yang forced out a bitter smile and shook his head: "Lord, please don't ridicule me. I was just overconfident before. At the welcome banquet later, Cao Yang will personally apologize to you."

Only then did Lin Zhen reveal a smile, patting Cao Yang on the shoulder: "I can hold my liquor quite well. You'd better be prepared."

Seeing Lin Zhen smile, the people of Blue Bay Star heaved a long sigh of relief. As long as Lin Zhen wasn't blaming anyone, all was well.

At that moment, Lin Zhen's Dimensional Universe started receiving notifications. One by one, payments from every planet in the Solar Territory arrived!

Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Wedding

Translator: 549690339

The incident at Blue Bay Star marked the beginning of Lin Zhen's unification of his territories. Seeing that Blue Bay Star had been conquered by Lin Zhen, the other life-bearing planets in the Solar Region also surrendered one after another, making the process extremely smooth.

With a substantial income, everything on Earth began to get on track.

Lin Zhen didn't need to contribute his own money, and interstellar routes began to open, making travel possible within the Solar Region.

People of Earth truly ventured beyond the Solar System and entered the vast interstellar space with this development.

Only then did Lin Zhen feel that he had fulfilled his ambition from his previous life.

The people of Earth were no longer treated like pigs and sheep, being sold in slave markets, but instead gained their rights, and their future was filled with brightness.

Upon letting go of his past concerns, Lin Zhen held a low-key wedding.

Only close acquaintances were invited to Lin Zhen's wedding, with no information given to other planets within the Solar Region. Most people on Earth only learned about Lin Zhen's wedding afterward.

"Master, you look absolutely stunning in this suit!"

Lin Zhen looked at himself in the huge floor-length mirror. In the reflection, he wore a handsome white suit with a Chinese-style groom's flower on his chest. His hair was neatly tied back, revealing his handsome face. He looked fantastic!

"Hehe! Is it okay?" Lin Zhen turned and asked.

Many people stood behind him, including pirates and some good friends from Earth, like Zhao Liang, whom he met when he first entered Gale Martial Arts Hall, and later Yan Qiyue and others. They all varied in strength and background, but they all shared one identity: Lin Zhen's friends.

"Good! It's more than good!"

"Handsome is just one word, and I'll only say it once!"

"I originally thought my looks were the peak of humanity, but I didn't expect you to surpass me by a tiny bit, Lin Zhen. This is simply defying the heavens!"

Lin Zhen laughed out loud but did not believe the flattery from these fox-and-hound friends. Instead, he turned to Zi Qianxia beside him, "Qianxia, what do you think?"

Zi Qianxia looked at Lin Zhen for a moment before gently raising her hand to tidy up the stray hairs on his forehead.

With a delicate touch, Zi Qianxia withdrew her hand, "It feels much better now."

Envy could be seen in the eyes of the surrounding men. Lin Zhen was the Lord with two beautiful wives, and he had a terrifyingly powerful maid by his side. He was the epitome of a winner in life.

"Master, it's almost time," said Ming Yue.

"Alright, let's set off to pick up the brides!"

The group of people walked out of Sky City, and in front of the door was a splendidly decorated carriage pulled by two winged horses. This came from a star within the Solar Region called Unicorn.

Jason the Archangel personally served as the coachman, and his six white wings made him resemble a heavenly god as he bowed respectfully to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen got into the carriage, and with a flick of the reins from Jason, the carriage ascended into the sky.

Behind Lin Zhen, numerous Star Realm Experts also took to the skies. His band of pirates also dressed up in suits, carrying trays of various sizes filled with betrothal gifts.

The large bridal party set off, but it didn't cause too much of a sensation. Going to pick up the bride in this manner was pretty common, and Lin Zhen did not publish any news. He also forbade the people around him from spreading the news, so everything would be announced after the wedding.

The carriage led by unicorns arrived at the headquarters of the An Group in the capital.

Having no family of her own, Su Mingyue followed An Ning and stayed in the An Group. Nobody dared to mistreat Su Mingyue as an outsider. After all, she and An Ning were both Lin Zhen's wives. Now that Lin Zhen was the Lord, they were both his ladies. No one dared to offend them.

Moreover, An Ning and Su Mingyue shared a great bond. Anyone wishing to sow discord between them would only be seeking their doom.

As the groom's party arrived at the entrance, the sound of firecrackers rang out. The most famous band from Blue Bay Star, the Hua'er Band, began their performance.

Amidst the sound of flowers and applause, Lin Zhen entered the An Group building.

On the top floor of the building, his two beautiful brides were waiting for him.

Throughout the journey, people such as Ronnie, Stephen, and others by Lin Zhen's side were in charge of giving out red envelopes. Each person they met received a big red envelope.

The amount wasn't much, just one million Tianhe Coins each!

If converted to Earth's currency, a single red envelope contained ten billion!

Many An Group employees who received the red envelopes were on the verge of going mad. If they were to use this money on Earth, they would not be able to spend it all even in ten lifetimes!

Finally, upon arriving at the top floor and standing before the brides' room, Zhao Xiaoman blocked Lin Zhen's path.

"Hehe! Brother Lin, you can't see the two sister-in-laws unless I'm satisfied!"

Next to Lin Zhen, Stephen smirked with a sneer, "Little girl, it wouldn't be hard for our boss to satisfy you, but today is his wedding day, so it may not be a good idea. I think you should wait till tomorrow night and be clean."

"Bah! You pirates can't spit out a bit of ivory!"

Zhao Xiaoman's face turned red as she was teased. She sneaked a glance at Lin Zhen with a blushing face and saw him smiling as if he didn't mind. Only then did she let out a small sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to speak, Lin Zhen handed her a large red envelope, "Take it, I prepared it especially for you."

"It's so thin… Brother Lin, you won't… Ah! What kind of money is this?"

Zhao Xiaoman pulled out the stack of bills, each with a Fire Kirin pattern on it. There were one million in total, with each note worth ten thousand.

Someone exclaimed from the side, "My God! These are Kirin Coins, my goodness! One million Kirin Coins, Xiaoman, you're rich, do you know that?"

"Ah! Kirin Coins… then… how much is it worth?"

"Isn't this simple? Let me calculate for you; one million Kirin Coins is equal to ten billion Sanjiang Coins, ten billion Sanjiang Coins is equal to one trillion Tianhe Coins, one trillion Tianhe Coins is… how much Earth money is worth… oh, it can't be calculated anymore…"

"One trillion Tianhe Coins!"

Zhao Xiaoman was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly turned around and said, "No, I need to rush to exchange this money quickly, haha! I can buy whatever I want now!"

Lin Zhen poured cold water on the excited Zhao Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, the Dimensional Universe in the Tianhe Empire does not have a Kirin Coin exchange business. If you want to exchange, remember to go to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation."

"Go to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation? But I'm not qualified for that!" Zhao Xiaoman froze.

"Then there's nothing I can do. You can just look at your one million coins every day!"

Lin Zhen walked past her with a smirk, and Zhao Xiaoman was so stunned that she almost went mad.

"Lin Zhen! Why would you give me so much money that I can't spend? Are you trying to make me guard a mountain of gold while begging for food!"

Ignoring Zhao Xiaoman's playful wailing, Lin Zhen gently opened the door.

Inside the room, accompanied by the two Angel Clan maids, An Ning and Su Mingyue had both finished dressing up and were wearing white wedding dresses, awaiting Lin Zhen's arrival.

The fragrance filled the air, and the two wives, more beautiful than flowers, made Lin Zhen's heart race.

He slowly walked to the bedside, and the two Space Rings embedded with Permanent Crystals were worn by Lin Zhen on their hands.

"You've worked hard all these years. Today, I promise you that I will always be with you, without an end!"

The eyes of the two girls were slightly red; they had finally waited for this day, finally able to be with their beloved man.

The various wedding customs were practiced, and then Lin Zhen, with one hand on each of his petite brides, embraced them gently with his tall body.

"Let's go to the wedding venue!"

Teleport!

Lin Zhen teleported away with his two brides, while all the guests present also teleported away simultaneously. Everyone was above Star Realm, so teleportation was no problem.

One moment ago, the room was full of flowers and people; the next moment, it was empty. This scene would have been incredibly bizarre if it took place during the Common Era.

The wedding venue was at the Lord's Mansion in Sky City, and the wedding was hosted by Gongsun Du.

He was Su Mingyue's Master, and in some ways, this made him Su Mingyue's only family.

Lin Zhen's parents and An Ning's parents were all seated, with Gongsun Du standing in front of the three of them, praying slightly, and then turned to Lin Zhen.

"Mr. Lin Zhen, may I ask whether you would like to marry these two beautiful ladies as your wives and love and respect them forever, unwavering in wealth and illness?"

Lin Zhen answered with a smile, "I am willing and will forever love and respect them. I will make them wealthy without poverty, always healthy without sickness, and never leave their side!"

Gongsun Du hesitated for a moment, then realized that Lin Zhen could truly achieve what he said, and immediately turned to An Ning and Su Mingyue.

"Beautiful Miss An Ning and Miss Su Mingyue, do you…"

"We are willing…"

Once the questioning was over, Gongsun Du handed them the prepared marriage certificates: "The universe witnesses your wedding, the sun, moon, and stars are your matchmakers, and all living beings wish you happiness. Now I declare that you are officially husband and wife!"

The music started again, and Gongsun Du, acting as Su Mingyue's parent, also moved to the parents' seats.

Lin Zhen and his two brides toasted their parents, formally meeting them for the first time.

Lin Liye and Li Qin had big smiles on their faces; no matter how great Lin Zhen's achievements were, they felt it was better for him to settle down sooner rather than later.

Now their wishes were finally fulfilled; both girls had become their daughters-in-law.

The day when they would have grandchildren was not far away.

They gave the well-prepared gifts to their two daughters-in-law. Although Lin Zhen was very wealthy, this was also the parents' heartfelt gesture.

After the ceremony was completed, Lin Zhen turned to look at the crowd surrounding him.

"I'm very happy that everyone could attend my wedding. I've prepared a rich feast and various novel trinkets for you all to enjoy. I won't accompany you all now. Next, I will accompany my two wives on our honeymoon trip. Uh… this is our world now, and we don't want to be disturbed. I'm sure you all understand…"

"Oh! Big brother, you're awesome!"

"We understand! We really do, double flying, yeah!"

"* Yeah!"

Lin Zhen smiled at the howling crowd, then, holding his two brides' hands, directly teleported into the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

The interior of the ship was decorated lavishly, with the best of everything available. The most eye-catching thing was a large, soft bed in the center of the ship.

This bed could accommodate ten people rolling around on it, and all the monitoring devices on the ship were turned off.

Looking at his two beautiful wives, Lin Zhen knew that the most wonderful part of his life was waiting for him.

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: A New Journey

Translator: 549690339

Three months have passed since Lord Lin Zhen left Earth.

During this time, Lin Zhen visited many planets with Su Mingyue and An Ning, not only the planets within the Solar System, but also other places in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

It was rare for Lin Zhen not to cultivate during this time, focusing instead on accompanying his two wives.

An Ning and Su Mingyue eventually agreed, under Lin Zhen's tireless efforts, to share the bed with him, fulfilling one of Lin Zhen's wishes.

With a large amount of money in hand and a life of almost endless enjoyment, An Ning and Su Mingyue's realms slowly improved, starting to advance towards the Meteor Stage.

While Lin Zhen's main body was enjoying life here, things were not calm on Earth.

Three months later, one day, the Star System radar detected an incoming sub-light speed spaceship approaching the Solar System.

Lin Zhen's avatar, who was still on Earth at the time, discovered that the spaceship was from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation's Anderson family.

He immediately commanded the battle, and when the spaceship reached the vicinity of Neptune, he quietly mobilized the Fortress Satellite and the Orbital Cannon to give the sub-light speed spaceship a powerful strike!

Old Anderson could not have imagined that the Solar System had set up the Star System Defense System, and was caught off guard by Lin Zhen's sneak attack. The spaceship was destroyed, and most of the people died as a result.

He and two Black Hole Early Stage experts, along with several Level 9 Constant Stars, survived with severe injuries, but were soon counterattacked by Lin Zhen.

This battle was not an easy one. Although there were only a few opponents left, three of them were at the Black Hole Stage, with a very strong power. After a fierce battle, Lin Zhen's side suffered heavy casualties, and even Lin Zhen's avatar was seriously injured.

In the end, the key factor in determining the outcome of the battle was Zi Qianxia.

Zi Qianxia successfully broke through to the Star System Stage in the fight, ultimately killing Old Anderson and ending the battle. Otherwise, it had been uncertain what the outcome would have been.

Killing the Old Anderson also represented the official destruction of the Anderson family.

However, after killing Old Anderson, Zi Qianxia chose to leave.

After successfully advancing to the Star System Stage, she wanted to return to the Andromeda Galaxy to seek revenge.

Lin Zhen did not hold her back, and even granted Zi Shisan and Zi Shiqi's freedom, allowing them to follow Zi Qianxia back together.

"Lin Zhen, meeting you was my fortune, and I think we'll meet again."

"I feel the same way. I hope you succeed in your quest for revenge!"

Zi Qianxia gently hugged Lin Zhen before boarding the sub-light speed spaceship he had prepared for them, leaving Earth with her two guards.

Lin Zhen told her about the wormhole on Mars, which would allow her to travel faster.

Watching Zi Qianxia leave, Lin Zhen realized that his current strength was not enough to truly defend Earth.

He could still cope with Constant Star opponents, but if a Black Hole Stage appeared, Lin Zhen would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Now, if Lin Zhen wants to improve his strength, the most important thing is to strengthen his bloodline.

"Maybe it's time to contact those two from Han Sha."

Early morning, Ice City Base City, the central square of Sky City.

Groups of people were running in the square.

Unlike the leisurely walking or jogging from the Common Era, the people who come here to exercise ran at a very fast speed!

An old man with white beard sprinted with his legs spread wide, his hair and beard flung behind him by the speed of the run.

His feet stepping on the ground of Sky City, his movements were like a leopard's.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ~~~!!!

The finish line appeared, and the old man slowly stopped, his chest heaving slightly.

"Haha! 7.5 seconds, Old Wang, you lost today! Your score is the lowest in the entire square. With this level, how can you keep up with the pace of the times?"

Old Wang was a bit resentful: "So what? If it were during the Common Era, my 7 seconds-plus 100 meters would have scared the eyes out of people all over the world."

"Hehe! You know that was the Common Era, look at the time now? It's the Great Space Age, and even the lady next door, Old Li, can run 100 meters in 6.1 seconds. Your 7 second-plus time really doesn't cut it."

"I know, I know. Didn't I accidentally get a little injured on my way to the Wilderness Area to kill Mutated Beasts a few days ago? Otherwise, with Old Li's speed, I would have been stronger than her. It's not bad that I've recovered this much in just two days."

"Ah! Mr. Lin, why are you leaving so early today?"

The exercising uncles and aunts gathered around, looking at Lin Liye, who was packing up and getting ready to leave.

As Lin Zhen's father and a Knight, Lin Liye had no airs. He did his daily exercises and went about his life as usual.

At first, when he started exercising in Sky City, the common people were in awe of him, thinking that he was the emperor of the Earth, the Solar System, and even the entire light-year range of the Solar Domain.

But later they discovered that Lin Liye was a very approachable person, and gradually stopped being so afraid.

However, due to Lin Zhen's relationship, everyone still respectfully called him Mr. Lin.

"Oh, my son and daughter-in-law are coming back today. I have to hurry back and have a look." Lin Liye answered the people around him.

"Really? Is Lord Lin coming back?"

"Lord has been gone for several months, right? This time when you come back, will you be holding your grandchild?"

"I heard that you might be moving, going to the Jade Star. Is that true?"

"It's probably not. The Mars renovation project hasn't been completed yet, can the Lord leave?"

Lin Liye looked at the chattering crowd around him and smiled bitterly: "Folks, I don't know much about what you're saying. The Mars renovation project is not under my control either. You can ask the people in the office. As for moving, that's even less likely. However, you are right about one thing – I might be holding my grandchild soon."

"Really!? That's wonderful news for you, sir!"

"Hey, we're rejoicing together! Our Solar System Lordship has a successor."

Lin Liye laughed, turned around, and left the crowd.

He got on something that looked like a hoverbike. This kind of transportation was popular in all the Base Cities.

Driving the flying bike back home, he immediately heard the laughter and joy inside.

Upon seeing Lin Liye return, Li Qin complained: "I told you your son and daughter-in-law were coming home, but you were still dawdling in the square. I think you've got a wandering heart."

"I don't… you're really… Sigh! Is An Ning really pregnant?"

"She is! They're both Star Realm cultivators, so they're very sensitive. As soon as they heard she was pregnant, they immediately came back."

Lin Liye entered the house, and An Ning and Su Mingyue came to greet him.

After exchanging a few words, Lin Liye immediately went out to buy groceries and cook a meal to nourish his pregnant daughter-in-law. Li Qin had arranged everything about what to eat.

Lin Zhen sat on the sofa at home and asked An Ning, "Are you a bit tired?"

"Not so much. I just felt a little uncomfortable during the parallel universe travel. Maybe it's because there's something extra in my stomach."

An Ning's fair face showed a hint of excitement, while Su Mingyue occasionally touched her belly, extremely curious about the growing life inside.

"Silly girl, what are you so curious about? Sooner or later you'll have this experience too."

"An Ning, is it a boy or a girl in there?"

"It's not certain yet. We'll know in some time. We all have the ability to view within ourselves, so we can observe the baby's changes every day."

"Hmm… I want a baby too."

"That's easy, just let Lin Zhen work harder. You're such a girl with a thin waist, big chest, and round hips, you'll definitely be good at giving birth."

"Ah! An Ning, keep your voice down…"

Lin Zhen quietly watched the interaction between his two wives, his heart filled with warmth.

But this warm moment was about to end, as he had decided to leave.

At dinner, Lin Zhen informed everyone that he would be leaving the Solar System and heading to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

Li Qin hesitated, "Aren't you waiting for An Ning to give birth before you go? It'll only be eight or nine months."

Lin Zhen shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to wait, but I can't. I can't afford to wait, because I have you all behind me."

The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became a bit depressed, but in the end, Lin Liye waved his hand: "Just go, and be sure to contact home through the Dimensional Universe when you have time. Don't go too long without news."

"Don't worry, as soon as I have time, I will definitely contact you in the Dimensional Universe."

After dinner, Lin Liye and Li Qin went to train, and Lin Zhen chatted with his two wives.

"Lin Zhen, is this trip going to be a long one?" An Ning asked.

"It definitely won't be short. I plan to join the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. After joining, it will be impossible to leave in a short amount of time. I've already contacted Han Sha, and he said that there will be a concentration camp within a year, which seems to be going to the Fire Kirin Empire. I won't be able to come back before I leave there."

"You go with peace of mind; we'll be well at home too. Just remember to take care."

Lin Zhen nodded and agreed. An Ning pushed him: "Go on, stay with Yue'er tonight."

After saying that, An Ning got up and left the room, leaving the space to the two of them.

The lights went out, and the two of them lay in bed.

Su Mingyue put her hand on Lin Zhen's chest: "You must take care of yourself. Remember, we have a mental connection. If anything happens to you, I'll know."

"I understand very well. You all need to cultivate well at home too."

As the two looked into each other's eyes, their lips suddenly met.

After a passionate encounter, Su Mingyue's delicate body entwined with Lin Zhen's.

"Lin Zhen, you're partial. An Ning already has a baby, but I don't. I don't care, I want a child too."

"Hehe! Since Yue'er is so brave, I'll have to work hard tonight."

"Husband… love me… ah~~~!!"

Early the next morning, Lin Zhen's main body and clone both boarded a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship and left Earth, heading to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

"Master, we are approaching Hills Star."

"Slow down and exit the parallel universe."

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship slowed down, and as soon as it decelerated slightly, it dropped below the speed of light and immediately left the parallel universe.

A huge planet appeared, and Lin Zhen's spaceship gradually reached a state of ten times the speed of sound, and was still slowly descending.

"Arriving at Hills Star, a new challenge is coming."

Lin Zhen stood in front of the control panel, contemplating how to proceed in the future.

Hiss~~~!!

An electric wave flickered, and someone was requesting contact on the control panel.

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He had come to Hills Star before only to buy some things and didn't know anyone here. Even if it were Han Sha and others looking for him, they should have contacted him through the Dimensional Universe rather than communicating through the spaceship, right?

He connected with the other party's electric wave, and a blond young man appeared on the screen.

This young man was a Constant Star Stage, wearing a silver knight outfit, with slender eyes slightly squinting, carefully observing Lin Zhen.

"Who are you?" asked Lin Zhen.

"Hey! You aren't from Hills Star, are you? I've never seen you before."

"I'm not from here. I just arrived."

"Well then, outsider, are you interested in racing?"

"Racing?" Lin Zhen was somewhat unclear about the other party's meaning.

"Yeah, racing. I see that your spaceship is not bad. How about driving it through an asteroid belt 300 stars away at sub-light speed? The first person to make it through wins. Are you interested in betting a few rounds?"

At this point, Lin Zhen could see the other party's spaceship clearly. It was also a light-speed spaceship made of Perpetual Crystals and Crystal Stones.

This spaceship was slightly worse than Lin Zhen's because it had fewer Perpetual Crystals and only had Perpetual Crystal protection at a few key locations. However, it could still travel at the speed of light.

Lin Zhen was not good at and didn't like this kind of racing, so he refused directly.

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

"You might not know this yet, but traveling through an asteroid belt is really exciting. A solid spaceship is crucial. If you're willing to part with your spaceship, I can give you an appropriate price."

Lin Zhen shook his head: "I don't need money."

After being refused continuously, the blonde youth's face looked a bit ugly.

"If you've heard of the Heavenly Tower organization, I believe you wouldn't dare to refuse me like this, outsider."

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He had indeed heard of Heavenly Tower.

There is a saying on Earth that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This saying also applies in the star world, only the rivers and lakes here are much larger and more dangerous.

The so-called Heavenly Tower is actually a gang, a gang organization of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

This giant planet with a population of trillions is full of gangs. They engage in various businesses such as interstellar cargo transport, slave trafficking, monopolizing commerce, assassination, hiring, and even expanding into many businesses within the Dimensional Universe.

In fact, many gangs also exist in each of the primary Cosmic Nations, but Lin Zhen has never been in contact with them.

However, the gangs in primary Cosmic Nations cannot be compared to those in intermediate Cosmic Nations in terms of manpower, material resources, or financial resources.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen had once heard that a lord with a huge territory, with a diameter of fifty light-years, offended a gang called the Dragon Totem, and conflicts broke out between the two parties.

As a result, Dragon Totem sent 10,000 Constant Star Stages, 100 Black Hole Stages, and, under the leadership of a star system-level expert, drove spaceships and wiped out the territory!

Trillions of people were sold as slaves, the resources in the territory were swept clean, and the prosperous territory was submerged in the long river of time.

As for the primary Civilization Universe Countries, they are no match for these intermediate Civilization gangs.

They cannot eliminate the gangs, and the gangs have intricate relationships with the senior officials of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. Therefore, the gang forces are rampant and unscrupulous.

In the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, the largest gangs are Heavenly Tower, Earth Core Jade Tower, Dragon Totem, and Qing Luan Society.

These four major gangs have many members and are spread throughout Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, and even in the Tianhe Empire.

Lin Zhen didn't expect to encounter a gang as soon as he arrived at Hills Star, which was really annoying.

However, Lin Zhen would not be intimidated by someone else's words. He smiled at the blonde youth: "So you're from Heavenly Tower, I apologize for that, but my spaceship is still not for sale."

"So you're saying you don't give face to our Heavenly Tower."

"If you insist on saying that, then so be it!"

Lin Zhen disconnected the communication without hesitation. How could a gang scare him? In this life, he would not let anyone step on him.

A few hundred kilometers away from Lin Zhen's Perpetual Crystal Spaceship, a young man with golden hair looked upset on a crystal stone spaceship.

"The ignorant fool, refusing the wine he's offered and having to drink penalty wine instead. Investigate! Find out the background of this foreign kid!"

"Brother Jin, you're going to participate in the Under-100 Camp. The leader says that you need to be low key during this time…"

"Cleaning up an outsider won't affect anything, go investigate."

"Understood!"

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship arrived above a street, and Lin Zhen put the spaceship away, landing on the street surface.

This place was a villa area, with each villa being worth over a billion. Han Sha and Jie Li lived here.

Following the address given by Han Sha, Lin Zhen arrived at their doorstep.

A scanner at the entrance started and a red light flashed. With a ding, the door opened.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin Zhen. The two gentlemen are waiting for you in the reception room."

Lin Zhen stepped inside, passing through a small garden path and entered the reception room on the first floor of the villa.

"Hey, Lin Zhen, you're here! Come and have a seat."

Han Sha enthusiastically waved and gestured for Lin Zhen to sit down at a large round table surrounded by chairs.

Lin Zhen nodded and found a seat. Then he looked at the people in the living room.

There were more than a dozen people here, not just Han Sha and Jie Li.

Aside from Lin Zhen, almost everyone here was at the Constant Star Stage. Only two people were at Level 9 of the Planet Stage.

Lin Zhen even saw Cao Yang from Blue Bay Star. Cao Yang smiled and nodded at Lin Zhen. Their previous disagreement had long passed, and Lin Zhen was now a lord whom he respected.

Han Sha clapped his hands at this time, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let Jie Li tell everyone about the event."

Jie Li cleared his throat and began, "Everyone, I believe you all know why we're here this time. Yes, we're going to participate in the Under-100 Camp."

"The Under-100 Camp is a major event in the Fire Kirin Empire, held once every hundred years to select real talents and foster them with priority."

"Each of you has been chosen by the Star River Giant Beast Alliance within the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. From the moment you enter this door, you are part of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance and will represent us in competing against others from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation."

At this time, a serious-looking young man asked, "Mr. Jie Li, who else will we compete against?"

Lin Zhen glanced at the young man. He had fair skin, and a golden line on his forehead that looked like a vertical eye. He was at Level 9 of the Constant Star Stage and seemed very powerful.

"Huo Li, the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation has more than just our Star River Giant Beast Alliance. All major forces will send people to participate, so the competition will not only be present but also very fierce!"

Huo Li sneered, "I don't mind if it's fierce. I just don't want the opponents to be weak. That would be boring."

Jie Li continued, "Based on the information, the selection in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation will be held within a World Stone. By then, not only will we be there, but forces such as the Heavenly Tower, Dragon Totem, and many others will also be present. Even the large families, the military, Asura Arena, and others within the Federation will have many experts entering. So, all of you can't be complacent."

Huo Li seemed to not care about Jie Li's words. Instead, he looked around at the people in the room. When his gaze fell upon Lin Zhen, he couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Jie Li, you should worry about others. Some people's realms are so low that they might get eliminated with a single blow, bringing shame to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance."

"There's no need to worry about that. We still have eleven months before the selection battle for the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. During this time, we'll give you a comprehensive test."

"How will you test us?"

"We'll test your bloodline genes. Based on your bloodline genes, we'll provide you with genetic fluids. The strength of each person will be clear by then."

Han Sha stood up and addressed everyone, "We will sign a contract with you now. After signing, you'll all permanently belong to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Let me read out the terms."

"First: Obey the alliance's orders and never betray."

"Second: The alliance will provide you with genetic fluids unconditionally… "

"Third: Members must fulfill their duties… "

Han Sha went on with a series of agreements. After signing this contract, these people would become part of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. The obligations weren't many, but the benefits were significant.

Everyone carefully read the contract. It was important to understand the terms as it would permanently take effect once signed.

Lin Zhen's eyes scanned the contract and thought it was acceptable. He picked up the pen and wrote down his name with a flourish.

Everything was recorded within the Dimensional Universe and could not be tampered with or denied.

Huo Li, Cao Yang, and the others also signed the contract.

Han Sha collected all the contracts and stored them carefully. His attitude immediately became much friendlier.

"Alright! Now, everyone, we are all family. You'll have a ten-minute break, and then please shut down your Dimensional Universe communications systems and personal electronic devices. The moment you've been looking forward to is almost here. We're about to start testing your bloodlines and distribute genetic fluids based on each person's condition!"

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Genetic Fluid Test.

Translator: 549690339

After Han Sha finished speaking, everyone got up from their seats and took a short break to talk to each other.

Cao Yang walked up to Lin Zhen and greeted him with a smile, "Lord."

Lin Zhen greeted Cao Yang, "How are you? Do you feel confident about the test later?"

"Haha, Lord, you must have forgotten that I've already taken the Genetic Potion before. I just hadn't signed the contract then, so today I came to sign it."

"Ah! Right, look at my poor memory."

After some conversation, the two had grown closer, having both come from the Solar Realm, they were naturally more familiar with each other than the others.

"Lord, I used to be really narrow-minded. I thought that if I achieved a higher Asura King realm, I could dominate others on the same level. But after being defeated by you, I thought there was nobody else stronger than me, until I came here and realized how short-sighted I was."

"Oh! You mean there are others who are stronger than you?"

"Not just are, but the majority of them are stronger."

Cao Yang gave a bitter smile, "I just turned 99 years old this year, just meeting the minimum requirement for this centennial camp. But as you can see, I'm the oldest here; most of them are seventy or eighty-year-old young people."

Lin Zhen coughed twice, indeed, for Martial Artists, being seventy or eighty years old was still considered young.

"And there are two particularly powerful people here, one is Huo Li, who spoke earlier. He's a member of the Three-Eyed Clan. The Three-Eyed Clan are exceptionally talented; their third eye is known as the Divine Eye and possesses many miraculous powers. He has reached Constant Star Level Nine at just sixty-two years old, truly a super genius."

Lin Zhen nodded, reaching Constant Star Level Nine at the age of sixty-two could definitely be described as a super genius.

"The other person is called Taishan, the tall one from the Titan Clan."

Lin Zhen looked over and saw a Constant Star Level Nine figure, around 2.3 meters tall, with a strong body, and muscles like steel, exuding terrifying power.

"Apart from these two, the others are relatively weaker, but I'm sure everyone here after Gene Optimization will definitely be stronger than me."

Lin Zhen agreed with Cao Yang's words, as everyone in the room had extraordinary talent, and Cao Yang, who was able to confront him directly, could only be considered to have an inferior talent.

This place was a gathering of geniuses.

Lin Zhen pondered silently, his weakness was his realm, Meteor Early Stage. Although he had the support of Dark Star and tenfold Dantian Star Power, his true Star Power level was only around the Middle Stage of the Planetary realm.

Gene Fluid enhanced his physique, but what he needed to improve even more urgently was his realm.

A gaze swept over, like a substance, Lin Zhen felt it immediately.

Looking up, Huo Li was staring at him with disdain.

Lin Zhen could tell that Huo Li looked down on him, but he didn't care. There was no point in arguing verbally; everything would depend on the results.

As Lin Zhen was lost in thought, the break time ended, and Han Sha and Jie Li called everyone to the back hall of the villa.

They went into a small room, and then each of them went in one by one to take the test.

"First up, Taishan!"

The tall and burly Taishan went in, and the door closed behind him.

"Phew! I'm feeling a little nervous. I wonder what kind of gene fluid I'll get."

"I don't know, I heard there are many levels. By the way, Cao Yang, you took the Genetic Fluid before. You should know more about it."

Cao Yang nodded, "Yes, I know a bit. Generally, for geniuses like you, there are five possibilities, ranked from low to high: Beast King Gene Fluid, Initial Galaxy Beast, Intermediate Galaxy Beast, Advanced Galaxy Beast, and Super Star River Beast. Roughly half of the people here will receive Beast King Gene Fluid, like me. The more talented you are, the better your qualification, the better gene fluid you may get."

Someone asked, "So, if we take the gene fluid, won't we surpass the Martial Artists of other organizations? We'd have a great advantage in the World Stone."

Cao Yang shook his head slightly, "Although there is an advantage, it's not significant. The Star River Giant Beast Alliance has established itself in various Universe Countries with a lot of cooperation with these countries. Besides offering gene fluids to us, they will also supply a portion to them. For example, in the Sanjiang Star Federation, about a hundred people have received gene enhancement opportunities. So in the upcoming World Stone battle, we will still encounter gene warriors from other forces."

At this moment, Huo Li spoke coldly, "Gene Fluid is available for sale in the black market. It's not that big of a deal unless your genes are exceptionally good, then the gene fluid has value. I joined the Star River Giant Beast Alliance not only because I'm confident of getting a good gene fluid, but also because of the influence of the organization, after all, a lone Martial Artist can't achieve much in the universe."

A Martial Artist asked, "Besides enhancing the physique, does the gene fluid have any other uses?"

Cao Yang replied, "Enhancing the physique is the most basic function, but once you get the gene fluid from a Galaxy Beast, you have the chance to comprehend the beast's innate abilities, which is another lifesaving skill."

"Really? What kind of ability do you have, Cao Yang?" someone asked.

Cao Yang gave a bitter smile, "My ability is not that good; I only have the Ice Centipede's Beast King Gene Fluid, which gives me a multi-handed talent. However, that's far from comparing to the Galaxy Beast's talents, so it's not worth mentioning."

A Martial Artist hesitated and said, "I should be able to get an Intermediate Galaxy Beast's gene fluid, right? My qualification should be pretty good."

Hisss~~!

Someone nearby scoffed, "You might as well give up. Do you know how hard it is to get Intermediate Galaxy Beast gene fluid? Most of us here are destined to have Beast King gene fluid. I think only Huo Li has a chance."

"No way, Taishan should be able to get it too. He's from the Titan Clan and has an extremely strong talent for fighting."

"Stop arguing, we'll see soon enough."

At this moment, the door to the room opened, and Taishan walked out.

"How was it? What Genetic Fluid did you get?"

Someone couldn't wait to ask. Taishan said, "Low-Level Galaxy Beast Rock Giant."

As soon as Taishan spoke, the others felt disheartened.

If Taishan, with his talent, only got a Low-Level Galaxy Beast Genetic Fluid, they were afraid they might only get Beast King Genetic Fluid.

Only Huo Li remained expressionless, believing that his talent was much stronger than Taishan's.

"Next, Bai Di!"

Han Sha called from inside, and the second person walked in.

A little while later, the person came out with a not-so-good-looking face. It turned out that he got a Beast King Genetic Fluid upon asking.

When the second person came out, the third one went in, and the result was still the same – Beast King Genetic Fluid.

The seventh, the eighth… the eleventh… without exception, Taishan was the only one who got Galaxy Beast Genetic Fluid.

The fourteenth person was Huo Li.

Huo Li's test took a relatively longer time. When he came out, his face didn't look too good either.

"Huo Li, how is it? You're the strongest among us; you should have got the Super Star River Beast Genetic Fluid, right?"

"Get lost!"

Huo Li coldly spat out a word and then sat down in frustration, ignoring everyone and not mentioning what Genetic Fluid he had gotten.

Seeing his reaction, no one dared to ask further.

"The last one, Lin Zhen!"

Han Sha called from inside, then rubbed his forehead, "Jie Li, the results this time aren't very good. Only Huo Li got a mid-level Genetic Fluid, and Taishan only got a low-level one. We won't have much competitiveness in the World Stone like this."

"Yeah, there are several people from other forces who have obtained high-level Genetic Fluids; a mid-level one is indeed not outstanding."

"I hope Lin Zhen can give us a surprise."

Lin Zhen opened the door and walked in.

"Come, drop a drop of your blood into this container."

Lin Zhen sat down in front of the two as instructed, pricked his finger with a needle, and dripped a drop of blood into a test tube.

Han Sha placed the test tube on an instrument, which then began to operate immediately.

Lin Zhen stared at the instrument, feeling somewhat expectant in his heart.

Although Lin Zhen believed that his genes should be from the Super Star River Beast Fire Kirin, since he had initially merged with Xiao Nuan's blood and his clone was also Xiao Nuan's body, he still felt uncertain before the results came out. It would be terrible if it wasn't.

Han Sha thought that Lin Zhen might be nervous, so he reassured him, "Lin Zhen, Jie Li and I have analyzed your situation, and we think that your talent is not weaker than Huo Li's. You have a very good chance of getting a mid-level Galaxy Beast Gene, or even a high-level one."

Lin Zhen smiled, thinking that if he really got a mid-level Gene, it would be too disappointing.

Jie Li thought that Lin Zhen was worried about not getting a mid-level Genetic Fluid and continued to comfort, "Actually, the biggest benefit of Genetic Fluid is talent. Some Low-Level Galaxy Beast Genetic talents are even more useful than some mid-level ones. Lin Zhen, I guarantee that you can at least get a pretty good Low-Level Genetic Fluid."

Lin Zhen forced a smile and looked at the machine.

"It's out! It's out!"

Drip drip~~!!

The machine made a sound, and the genetic analysis data for Lin Zhen was listed on it.

Blood concentration, excellent!

Bone strength, excellent!

Cell vitality, excellent!

Elemental affinity, excellent!

Suggested Genetic Fluid… Analyzing….

The numbers above kept flashing, but the Genetic Fluid analysis did not come out for quite a while.

This made everyone present nervous, including Han Sha and the others. Lin Zhen's basic data was almost top-notch. It should be at least a high-level Galaxy Beast Gene, right? But, what was going on with this analysis that was taking so long to come out?

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Black Hole Beast (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

Seeing the three words "analyzing" constantly flashing, the few people in the room were all bewildered.

Even if it was the gene essence of a Super Galaxy Beast, it shouldn't have taken so long to analyze, right?

Lin Zhen watched for a while and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I have an avatar! Could it be that because of my avatar, the gene analysis is missing some information?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, Han Sha couldn't help but slap his thigh, "Right! It must be because of that. The avatar must have taken a bit of the main body's genes. You need to bring your avatar here too, and test both together. That might give us better results."

"Alright, I'll bring my avatar over now."

Lin Zhen's avatar was not far away. With a thought, his avatar teleported directly to their location.

When Lin Zhen's avatar appeared in front of Han Sha and Jie Li, they couldn't help but be amazed. They didn't expect Lin Zhen, at such a young age, to have so many hidden abilities. This avatar had reached the Planet Stage and exuded an air of strength.

"Hurry, have your avatar drip some blood into this too. If both your main body and avatar are suitable, maybe we can get two bottles of gene essence."

Lin Zhen's avatar stepped forward and dripped blood into the test tube.

The machine immediately began to re-analyze.

The group waited patiently. After about ten minutes, the analysis results finally came out.

"Avatar suitable for gene essence. Super Galaxy Beast Fire Kirin gene essence!"

Seeing this result, Han Sha and Jie Li jumped up in excitement!

"Yay! Hahaha! I knew Lin Zhen wouldn't disappoint us. A Super Galaxy Beast gene, and it's the Fire Kirin! Oh my God! This time we really hit the jackpot!"

"This is so rare. Our Fire Kirin Empire has hardly ever had anyone with the Fire Kirin gene!"

"What do you mean 'hardly ever'? There's only been one case in history where the gene and the Guardian Beast matched!"

The two laughed happily. Lin Zhen wasn't surprised. His avatar was originally a Fire Kirin, so not getting this gene would be strange.

Now, he was looking at the gene of his main body to see if it was the same as his avatar's.

After laughing for a while, Han Sha and Jie Li realized something was off – why wasn't the result for the main body out yet?

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the genes of Lin Zhen's main body finally appeared.

"Main body suitable for gene essence. Super Galaxy Beast Fire Kirin!"

After seeing the test result, Han Sha and Jie Li heaved a sigh of relief.

"Phew! I thought something went wrong. It took half a day to analyze the same gene essence. It seems this machine is somewhat old."

"It doesn't matter. After we discover Lin Zhen's talents, we'll definitely be rewarded, and we can buy a new one after that."

The excitement of the two didn't die down until the machine automatically dispensed two bottles of gene essence for Lin Zhen's main body and avatar. Then they finally calmed down.

"Lin Zhen, you've really hit the jackpot this time. Do you know how much one bottle of this Fire Kirin gene essence is worth? One hundred billion! A whole one hundred billion Kirin Coins! And it's priceless. If you auctioned this off, these two bottles would fetch three hundred billion. You've just gotten this for free. Tell me, is joining our Star River Giant Beast Alliance the best thing ever?"

Lin Zhen smiled and nodded: "It really is something to be happy about. I didn't expect my genes to be this good."

At that moment, Han Sha said to Jie Li, "I think we should keep Lin Zhen's results a secret for now. Let's just say he received… the gene essence of a low-level Star River Beast Suan Ni, and not attract too much attention. Otherwise, he might become a target."

"Right, Lin Zhen, when you go out, don't tell anyone the real situation. Just say you got the gene essence of a Suan Ni."

"Understood." Lin Zhen nodded earnestly.

"Go ahead. You have eleven months until we enter the World Stone. Take your gene essence right away, try to obtain the power of your talent, and then… focus on training. We're counting on you for this World Stone."

Lin Zhen followed their instructions and left. When he stepped out of the room, the people around him asked him what kind of gene essence he had gotten.

Lin Zhen said it was the gene essence of a Suan Ni. One Martial Artist didn't believe him and said, "Why did you spend so long in there? It was almost an hour."

Lin Zhen smiled: "Because I wasn't satisfied with just getting the gene essence of a low-level Star River Beast, so I wanted to try again. But in the end, they rejected my request, and pleading didn't help."

After hearing this, the Martial Artists all turned away and left.

Although Lin Zhen got a low-level Star River Beast gene essence which was better than theirs, it wasn't worth making a big fuss about.

Lin Zhen walked out of the room where Han Sha and the others were, and entered his specially-prepared room in this villa.

Everyone had their own room. They all had to live here for the time being, following Han Sha's arrangements.

Upon entering his room, Lin Zhen couldn't wait to communicate with Chris.

"What just happened?"

Chris immediately said to Lin Zhen, "Master, the intelligent life within that machine just contacted me and told me that your genes are very special. Their AI system automatically concealed the truth, only revealing that you had the Fire Kirin gene."

"They can actually do that?"

"Yes. It's an automatic command issued by the system, only used for extremely rare and special genes. Even Han Sha and Jie Li don't know about this, nor do the higher-ups of the Fire Kirin Empire. Only the top executives at the headquarters of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance can access and view the information."

Lin Zhen's face was serious: "What exactly are the genes of my original body?"

"Your original body is called the Black Hole Beast, and they have automatically configured the Genetic Potion for you. One of the two bottles contains it. After you take it, your genetic bloodline will awaken," replied the voice.

"Black Hole Beast?" Lin Zhen was taken aback. What does this name imply?

"That's right, the Black Hole Beast. This Galaxy Beast can be considered a close relative of the Kirin. It has only appeared twice in the recorded history of the entire universe. It is a form that the Kirin Beast has mutated into and is also called the Energy Absorbing Beast, possessing a special ability to absorb energy."

"How do you absorb energy?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Absorbing energy means absorbing objects containing energy, such as certain metals, Crystal Stones, ores, etc. The energy absorbed from these objects can be converted into Star Power."

"What? It can be converted into Star Power? Can I absorb these things to advance my level?"

"In theory, yes."

"Why is it 'in theory'?"

"Because to advance solely relying on this method, you would need to absorb a tremendous quantity of items, which is too costly for someone with an average financial capability to bear."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen let out a long breath.

So it's about spending money. If it were something else, he might have to be worried, but money is not an issue now. He has accumulated about three trillion advanced civilized Universe Country currency. If this amount of money is still not enough to support his consumption, then the energy needed for the Black Hole Beast could really be described as a black hole.

Knowing these things, Lin Zhen immediately felt motivated to press on.

He and his clone both sat down and began taking the Genetic Fluid.

Among the two bottles of Genetic Fluid, one of them was for the Black Hole Beast. Chris helped Lin Zhen identify it.

First, Lin Zhen's clone ingested the Genetic Fluid to see its effects.

As the clone swallowed the Genetic Fluid, a surge of heat rushed into his abdomen. Gradually, Lin Zhen's clone began to change.

It seemed like a force from his soul was awakening within his body, making every cell in his body grow stronger.

His blood seemed to be gradually burning. While sitting on the bed, the bones in his body constantly made cracking noises.

Ka-ka-ka-ka~~!!

Sizzle~~!!

The clothes on Lin Zhen's clone's body were broken due to the expanding bones. A layer of golden scales began to appear on his body's surface.

"This feeling! I feel like I'm seeing Little Nuan when she's grown up, and my body seems to be turning into a Kirin!"

At this moment, Lin Zhen looked like an Alien with clothes no longer able to cover his body, easily tearing into pieces. On his back, a pattern resembling a Fire Kirin began to emerge.

"Hiss-ang!"

Feeling the pain, Lin Zhen's clone couldn't help but raise his head and let out a roar, resulting in a loud beast roar.

Thankfully, the room was spacious and soundproofed enough not to let the noise escape.

Hot waves surged inside his body, and the changes in his body continued for about half an hour before finally calming down.

His body finally returned to its original state, showing no apparent difference on the outside. However, the difference inside was tremendous.

"My body feels so much stronger, the true body of a Galaxy Beast. I believe at this moment, even if I stood in the elemental storm, my body won't be damaged at all."

"Moreover, I can feel the Star Power surge within me, as soon as the original body advances to the next level, my clone will advance as well."

Lin Zhen slowly stood up and went to the mirror.

His robust body appeared in the mirror without any clothing.

"I can feel that I now have two talents. One is Little Nuan's Innate Devouring."

Lin Zhen slightly opened his mouth and breathed into the mirror.

A powerful suction appeared, and if someone below Planet Stage were present, they would have been devoured by Lin Zhen in one gulp.

"In addition to this ability, I have another one: Armorization!"

With a thought, Lin Zhen's body immediately displayed a layer of golden scales, covering every part of his body except the face.

He exhaled a series of yellow smoke from his nostrils, emitting a strong sulfur smell. He extended his fingers and gently flicked the scales, producing a metallic clanging sound.

"Such an impressive body! My physical strength has reached the Peak of Lower Grade Divine Artifacts. Ordinary Middle Grade Divine Artifacts can't cause much damage to me. Moreover, my hands, feet, and teeth have all reached the Peak of Middle Grade Divine Artifacts. It can be said that my entire body is a weapon!"

"It's truly powerful! With this body, I can travel through the stars!"

With excitement, Lin Zhen became even more expectant of the changes that his original body would undergo!

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Rising 5 Levels

The clone stood beside the main body, covered in golden scales like a monster, guarding the main body as it consumed the genetic fluid.

Picking up the small test tube, filled with golden-red liquid, it emitted a strong fragrance and contained a powerful vitality.

"What a treasure! If the value of the Fire Kirin genetic fluid is over a trillion, then this Black Hole Beast's genetic fluid's value is definitely far beyond ten trillion!"

"No, for those who need it, this is an invaluable treasure!"

Feeling that his condition had reached its best, Lin Zhen swallowed the genetic fluid in one gulp.

After having experienced consuming the Fire Kirin genetic fluid earlier, Lin Zhen was somewhat mentally prepared for the genetic transformation, knowing that it would be painful.

However, the pain still exceeded Lin Zhen's expectations, dozens of times more intense than before.

But what Lin Zhen feared the least was pain. Having experienced the torment of a torn soul, no pain could bring him down.

The transformation process took nearly two hours.

A layer of dark black scales appeared on Lin Zhen's body, different from the golden scales of the Fire Kirin, resembling the profound darkness of the endless cosmic space.

"Inside this genetic fluid, there is formidable vitality, I am going to break through!"

Upon the completion of the transformation, the Star Power in the Dantian started to boil, like bubbles rising up, beginning the Meteor Level 1 breakthrough.

This genetic fluid, worth ten trillion advanced cosmic currency, was indeed extraordinary. And Lin Zhen's realm was still low, so once he broke through, it became unstoppable!

Starting from Meteor Level 1, this breakthrough advanced like a hot knife through butter.

Lin Zhen originally thought that upgrading to Level 3 Peak or Level 4 would be incredible, but he still underestimated the power of this ten-trillion-worth super potion.

The powerful medicine sustained him, upgrading him to Level 6 Peak, before finally stopping.

"Phew! What a powerful effect, it boosted me five levels all at once, reaching the Meteor Middle Stage Peak. As long as I stabilize and make another breakthrough, I will enter the Meteor Late Stage."

While the five-level increase came as a pleasant surprise, it was not the biggest surprise.

The greatest surprise was that he had acquired the innate ability of the Black Hole Beast.

Unlike the Fire Kirin transformation, it didn't have the Innate Devouring skill. This innate ability had evolved in the Black Hole Beast, and was called Black Hole Storm!

Different from Innate Devouring, Black Hole Storm was a unique ability of the Black Hole Beast and was an upgraded version of Innate Devouring.

Creating a void black hole, devouring and crushing everything visible within its range, including light, dust, and air!

However, that was the power of Black Hole Storm when practiced to its peak. Right now, Lin Zhen had just acquired Black Hole Storm, so for it to reach that level, he still needed to master the speed of light movement.

At this stage, Lin Zhen's movement speed could reach twenty times the speed of sound, so any object moving slower than this speed could not escape the devouring of the Black Hole Storm.

Lin Zhen familiarized himself with the new abilities of his body. Using his spiritual power, Lin Zhen could feel the extreme density of his muscles.

Although he seemed thin, after the transformation, his weight was definitely more than 500 jin!

Using spiritual power to scan his Dantian, Lin Zhen felt that his Dark Star Space had become completely stable, showing signs of evolving into the Evident Universe.

Lin Zhen then looked at the clone standing in front of him.

When the main body advanced to Meteor Level 6, the clone also advanced to Planet Level 6, and its realm was no longer considered low.

Lin Zhen suddenly had a thought: could the clone practice inside his Dark Star Space?

As soon as the thought emerged, the clone entered the Dark Star Space.

"It really works!"

Lin Zhen was overjoyed. The clone couldn't always wander around in other places. Now, following him into his Dark Star Space was much more convenient.

"Phew! I've finally succeeded. It's the right move to join the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. In the stars, strength is always the king."

A breath was exhaled from his nostrils, and a stream of electricity-flashing airflow condensed into a line and was sprayed out.

He stood up and took out the Yin-Yang Spear from his Space Ring.

"Chris has already given me a list of metal materials that I should devour, but I just got promoted, and I need to stabilize my realm. In the meantime, let's collect metallic crystal stones."

Lin Zhen was about to go out for food and shopping when suddenly, someone in the Dimensional Universe added him.

"Master, a person with the Dimensional Universe ID 87923154454547 added you as a friend. He is from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Do you accept?"

"Accept." Lin Zhen remembered that this person seemed to have a good relationship with Huo Li. Why would he add Lin Zhen?

After successfully adding his friend, Bai Di immediately asked a question.

"Lin Zhen, what talent have you realized?"

"Partial Armorization." Lin Zhen's armor, which almost only showed his eyes, was actually full armorization, but he didn't intend to tell the truth.

Partial armorization wasn't an extraordinary talent, and its buff on the body was limited. Reaching the High Grade Holy Artifact level was considered good enough.

Among these people, only Lin Zhen, Huo Li, and Taishan had acquired Galaxy Beast talents, which naturally aroused their envy.

Upon hearing that Lin Zhen had only acquired the talent of partial armorization, Bai Di felt a little more balanced in his heart.

Lower-level Galaxy Beast genes weren't as useful as a good Beast King gene if their talents were not practical.

Hearing that Lin Zhen's talent was not good, Bai Di's voice seemed to grow louder: "Lin Zhen, we all discussed it, and we should unite. This way, we can be more competitive in the World Stone. What do you think?"

Lin Zhen chuckled, "It's a good thing, I have no objections."

"Well, join my group then. It will be more convenient for us to communicate later."

"Ding! Master, your friend Bai Di has established a group and invites you to join."

Lin Zhen was about to go out for food. Seeing Bai Di create a group, he had to click to join it first.

After entering the group, he found that everyone in the Star River Giant Beast Alliance was in it.

As soon as Lin Zhen entered, Bai Di immediately said, "I have some good news to report. Our brother Lin Zhen has also acquired the talent of partial armorization. Let's wish him well."

People in the group hummed and laughed, saying some insincere congratulations.

Only Taishan sent a message: "Lin Zhen, it doesn't matter if your talent isn't good. The Galaxy Beast gene is still much stronger than the Beast King gene, and fighting power is the key."

"Thank you." Lin Zhen replied.

Additionally, Cao Yang also consoled Lin Zhen for a while. Apart from them, the others were just perfunctory.

Bai Di said in the group chat, "Since we're all here, why don't we organize a dinner to celebrate? I suggest we go Dutch and head to Jiu Xiang Village."

Jiu Xiang Village was a high-end restaurant in the Dimensional Universe, with not low consumption. These Martial Artists could eat and drink well, and the cost of a meal was quite significant. Going Dutch seemed reasonable.

Lin Zhen had no objections. Since he had joined the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, it would be inevitable to deal with these people in the future, so it was good to have more communication among them.

"Alright, let's go Dutch. I think everyone should chip in around 100,000 to 200,000."

"I think that's enough, 200,000 per person should be enough."

At this time, Huo Li spoke up: "Jiu Xiang Village isn't that special. I know a bar called Fairy Forest on Saint Demon Star. They have great-tasting drinks, and the servers are beautiful Elf Clan and Fairy Clan members. Let's go there."

Hearing Huo Li's words, many people fell silent.

The Saint Demon Star was a planet 20 light-years away from Hills Star with a highly developed cultivation civilization. It was home to various races such as angels, demons, fairies, elves, humans, beastmen, dwarves, dragons, etc. It was a place where fish and dragons mixed.

Fairy Forest was the most luxurious bar among them, located in the Elf Forest. It was very distinctive and famous throughout the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

But the distance of 20 light-years deterred many people from going to the Saint Demon Star through the Dimensional Universe to see the pure elf beauties and enchanting fairies.

However, Fairy Forest was known for its high-consumption culture. Spending millions on a meal was not uncommon. If a group of more than a dozen martial artists went there, it would cost several million Sanjiang currency, and that wouldn't even be enough for them to eat and drink freely.

Even if they spent over a million each, it would still be a lot of money for many people. They were reluctant to spend it.

After all, it was Sanjiang currency, and a million could be exchanged for ten billion in low-level universe countries. Spending such an amount on a meal was indeed extravagant.

"Go there? It's so expensive."

"Yeah, I heard there are always gang fights there too."

Just as the atmosphere was about to go cold, Huo Li lazily said, "Don't worry about it. I don't care for any gangsters. Since we can gather together, it's fate. Let me treat everyone to this meal."

As soon as they heard it wouldn't cost them any money, several people immediately cheered.

Bai Di even vigorously cheered for Huo Li: "Brother Huo Li, you're a real tycoon. You're rich and powerful, the only one who has achieved a mid-level Galaxy Beast gene and has a great talent. We should all follow you."

Several people around them chimed in, although not too blatantly, their attitudes were already apparent.

Lin Zhen just smiled and didn't say anything. Since Huo Li was willing to show off and be the big brother, he would let him be. Lin Zhen would just worry about eating and drinking.

After the group decided, Huo Li went to book the rooms first, then said in the group chat: "Everyone, come over, remember it's the Fairy Forest Bar on Holy Demon Planet."

Each person had their intelligent life help them teleport, and began to head toward the Holy Demon Star.

With a flash of white light before Lin Zhen's eyes, he arrived at the entrance of the bar.

Here, Lin Zhen felt a sense of exhilaration.

The surrounding area was filled with towering trees, lush greenery, and unlike the forests on Earth, this place was filled with a strong elemental aura.

Right ahead, a colossal tree formed an almost natural tree house, and a green spiral staircase led up to the brilliant lights on the tree.

"Welcome, gentlemen!"

"Would you like to try the pear blossom wine brewed by little Xue'er?"

"Hey! Handsome guy over here, dare to gamble with us? Whoever loses takes off a piece of clothing."

One by one, voluptuous and enchanting fairies appeared through the gaps in the leaves, waving at Lin Zhen and his group.

Each fairy's face was extremely seductive, some with snow-white fox tails, some with cat tails, all dressed scantily and with provocative eyes always luring men's souls.

Shiny pieces of jade-like arms and legs flashed like meat, these people were all dazzled.

"My god! These are real fairies!"

"Look at that one, she has a fox tail."

"That one is like a sexy little wild cat. Ah! She's smiling at me… I'm going to faint!"

"This is going to cost someone's life. If we brought just one of these fairies back to our hometown, they could overthrow the dynasty. Our hometown folks who are still in the cold weapon era would probably die from nosebleeds if they saw them."

Although Lin Zhen and their powers were not bad, the strength of these fairies was also very good. Each of them was at least at the Star Realm level, and they also knew how to charm. Their smiles and frowns were all full of charm; it was not easy to resist their allure.

By Lin Zhen's side, Cao Yang's mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it, while only Taishan, the guy with different aesthetics from the others, was somewhat normal.

Huo Li himself also showed a strong desire at this moment, but his control was much better than the others and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Wipe your drool, remember we now represent the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and don't disgrace our alliance."

The crowd finally calmed down and followed Huo Li's footsteps toward the entrance of the bar.

The words Fairy Forest shone brightly, attracting attention in the dark forest. As Lin Zhen and his friends walked in, the words suddenly exploded.

The group was startled, and after a close look, they found that the glowing words were actually made up of fireflies.

The fireflies danced in the air, and rapidly reformed the words "Welcome."

Lin Zhen marveled at this miraculous scene. This bar really had a unique charm and was understandably expensive.

After entering, an elf with an extremely pure face, like a dreamy first love, gently bowed to Huo Li: "Young Master Huo Li, it's been a long time since you came to see Xue'er."

Huo Li waved his hand with a ripple: "This young master has been busy, later we'll taste Xue'er's Nu'er Hong."

"Heehee! Please go upstairs then, your reserved room is ready, and drink a few more glasses later."

Huo Li turned around gracefully and took the lead, going up to the second floor.

Lin Zhen and the others followed behind Huo Li, looking left and right, feeling that their eyes were not enough to take it all in.

Looking down from the second floor, beautiful little elves in maid outfits, revealing their snow-white legs and shoulders like butterflies, were shuttling through the hall, constantly serving drinks and food to the customers.

On the central tree stump stage, a group of little elves were performing. The elves were natural singers, dancers, and beautiful from birth. Their wonderful singing and dancing were like an enchanting fairyland, leaving people unable to take their eyes off them.

Bai Di couldn't help but ask, "Boss Huo Li, why don't we go to the first floor?"

Huo Li looked at him: "Those on the first floor are just country bumpkins, not befitting my status."

Bai Di immediately stopped talking with a sheepish smile.

Although the second floor was private rooms, the partitions between them were just tree walls covered with flowers, and they could see each other in an open layout.

Huo Li led Lin Zhen and the others to a private room on the second floor and sat down.

There was a box of cigarettes on the table. Huo Li picked one up: "You should try this too. This is the Elf Flower Smoke. The smoke produced has no side effects. One costs 50,000 Sanjiang coins, not something just anyone can afford."

As he spoke, he put the cigarette in his mouth. A Barbie-sized little elf with transparent dragonfly-like wings appeared from somewhere, flew in front of Huo Li, and gently raised her hand. A ball of flame danced on her palm.

"Young Master Huo Li, please!"

The little elf smiled brightly, and Huo Li's face showed a smug expression. He lit his cigarette, took a heavy puff, and then picked up a petal from the table, gently placing it in the little elf's embrace: "So well-behaved. This is your reward."

"Thank you, Young Master!" The little elf flew onto Huo Li's shoulder, sat down, and gently lowered her head to kiss his face before flying away with a giggle.

A Martial Artist asked in confusion: "Boss Huo Li, what does it mean to give her a petal? And why is she so small?"

"Hehe! She's small because she's from the Flower Fairy Clan within the elves. She can freely change size. If you're willing to give her a table full of petals, I believe she'd be willing to become an adult and spend a romantic night with you."

"Really? I want to try!"

The Martial Artist's saliva almost flowed out as he reached out to grab the petals on the table.

At this moment, Huo Li let out a cold snort: "But I advise you to think it through. There are a thousand petals on this table, each worth one hundred thousand, adding up to one hundred million Sanjiang coins. Although we're friends, I don't think your current performance deserves me spending one hundred million to help you pick up a girl."

The Martial Artist immediately wilted, not daring to touch the petals again.

Huo Li blew out a smoke ring: "I'm not short on money, but I hope you guys can restrain yourselves a bit. Don't go too far. If any of you can genuinely please me, I'll arrange for a Flower Fairy to accompany you for the night."

A few Martial Artists raised their heads expectantly, and Huo Li pushed the cigarettes towards them: "Smoke up, have as many cigarettes as you want. If you want to reward a waitress, just give her some petals. I won't interfere as long as it's not over the top. As I said, I invited you to spend and broaden your horizons, so I won't break my word."

Most of the Martial Artists took cigarettes, and the tiny Flower Fairy flew over, lighting them one by one. Each one inhaled with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Lin Zhen also followed the crowd and smoked one, not acting any different from the others. Huo Li secretly glanced at Lin Zhen, his eyes showing a hint of contempt.

"Alright, let's order. Just one dish per person, don't worry about the price."

A menu appeared in front of each person, filled with various dishes and shockingly high prices.

Cao Yang ordered a braised bear paw, worth about three hundred thousand.

The others also ordered quite a few dishes, but they didn't order anything too expensive. After all, it was Huo Li treating them, and they didn't dare to be too extravagant.

When it came to Lin Zhen's turn, he glanced at the menu and felt that every dish seemed too small. He was quite hungry.

Flipping to the last page, Lin Zhen's eyes lit up: "I'll have this one."

The beautiful elf waitress beside him immediately smiled: "Sir, you have a great taste. Our restaurant's signature dish is the Roasted Mammoth Elephant. Not every guest has your audacity!"

Lin Zhen smiled slightly: "It's fine, we have a generous host today. Please serve the dish."

The others turned their eyes to the last page and gasped.

Roasted Mammoth Elephant, price: 88.88 million Sanjiang coins!

Some Martial Artists took a sharp breath. This price genuinely shocked them. A single dish worth over a hundred million Sanjiang coins was indeed bold. Though Huo Li was hosting, Lin Zhen was going a bit overboard!

Glancing at Huo Li, they saw his eyelids involuntarily twitching, his gaze towards Lin Zhen filled with a trace of killing intent.

Originally, Huo Li had a good plan. He came here to show off extravagantly, but in reality, he only spent a few million.

He intentionally revealed his identity, making others feel awed by him, so when they ordered, they wouldn't dare to let loose. In the end, they wouldn't spend too much; a little over ten million or twenty million would be enough.

But he never expected Lin Zhen to pull a fast one on him, ordering the restaurant's signature dish – Roasted Mammoth Elephant!

This dish alone cost almost ninety million, so it seemed today's expenses would definitely exceed one hundred million.

Although Huo Li was wealthy, he wasn't rich enough to view one hundred million Sanjiang coins as nothing.

"Lin Zhen… your appetite is really something!" Huo Li's voice was cold between gritted teeth.

"It's not bad, mainly because Young Master Huo Li is treating us today. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare order this dish normally. What, Young Master Huo Li, are you worried about this little scost?"

Hearing Lin Zhen's words, others looked at Huo Li, making it difficult for him to maintain his composure.

"Hahaha~~!! What are you talking about? If you don't even dare to order dishes, what's the point of coming to the Fairy Forest? Feel free to order up!"

Huo Li couldn't air his grievances after being slapped with such flattery. For the sake of his reputation, he couldn't lose his temper in front of everyone. Wearing a fake smile on his face, he secretly planned to deal with Lin Zhen.

His ultimate goal for hosting the dinner was to become the leader of these Martial Artists, with them all obeying his commands once they entered the World Stone. Therefore, today was critical.

"I absolutely can't let Lin Zhen ruin today's event. I must appear particularly prestigious today to deter these geniuses."

Huo Li quietly pondered, waiting for his next chance to show off.

Translator: 549690339

The speed of serving food in the Dimensional Universe was incredibly fast, even dishes like roasted mammoths would be served within minutes.

The enormous mammoth didn't cause any hindrance to dining, and it seemed that the huge space for dishes in a private room could be enlarged. The mammoth was a giant dish, and one could pick up any part of it to eat whenever they wanted. This was the magic of the Dimensional Universe.

The food was served, and so was the wine. This time, Huo Li ordered the wine – a newly brewed Nu'er Hong, which was quite expensive, worth millions.

"Come on, everyone, enjoy yourselves! From here, you can also enjoy the singing and dancing below. Let me tell you, watching those beautiful elves from above has a unique charm!"

These martial artists had already noticed that they could see the snow-white scene below, with the beautiful elves dancing gracefully, offering a captivating view. Some people couldn't take their eyes off them.

At that moment, an exceptionally beautiful elf girl took the stage.

As soon as the beauty appeared, the bar burst into cheers.

"Ling'er! Ling'er!"

"Ling'er, I love you! You're a goddess!"

Lin Zhen and the others were also attracted by the cheers, and they looked down.

This elf girl was indeed incredibly beautiful. Every woman in the Fairy Forest Bar was stunning, but only this Ling'er possessed truly breathtaking beauty. Her delicate figure and enchanting appearance, resembling a willow blowing in the gentle breeze, would instinctively evoke a desire to protect her in men's hearts.

Lin Zhen even saw Huo Li's eyes shining as if he were also a fan of Ling'er.

Many people picked up the flower petals on the table and sprinkled them. Each petal represented a hundred thousand and was a reward for Ling'er.

Ling'er pulled out a microphone, waved at the familiar faces, and even waved at Huo Li on the second floor, indicating that they knew each other.

Huo Li immediately grabbed hundreds of petals and tossed them before shouting, "Ling'er! I love you! Marry me!"

Ling'er flashed a charming smile, didn't say anything, and began to sing gently.

Her voice was light and melodious, like a mountain spring flowing through the valley, and seemingly possessed a magical power that made one's thoughts involuntarily turn to pleasant things such as birds, sunshine, and flowers.

Everyone's faces were filled with intoxicated expressions.

"Ling'er is so beautiful. Who is she?" a martial artist whispered.

"Shush! Don't talk! She's the top performer of the Fairy Forest and the number one beauty of the Saint Demon Star's Elf Clan. Her beauty, accompanied by her sweet voice, is the reason seven or eight out of ten people come here. She sings a few songs every week, and she can earn billions of dollars!"

Everyone closed their eyes, immersing themselves in Ling'er's enchanting voice. Even Taishan, the Titan, swayed his head slightly to the melody, proving that music transcends boundaries and differences between races.

Lin Zhen also loved her singing, but he didn't stop eating. He wielded his knife and fork, cut off a big chunk of the golden roasted mammoth meat, and enjoyed it as he listened to the music.

Lin Zhen found that his appetite was surprisingly large now. He consumed a large chunk of meat as if he hadn't eaten anything, and immediately cut off another big piece, wolfing it down.

The others wasn't as voracious as Lin Zhen, as they were all immersed in the singing and the beauty of Ling'er.

When the song ended, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause, and the rain of petals showered on Ling'er as rewards.

Ling'er needed a break after singing one song, so she went backstage to prepare.

During this intermission, Bai Di suggested they should choose a leader so that they could follow commands and show better cohesion once they entered the World Stone.

However, no one responded to Bai Di's proposal. Although Huo Li had performed better than the others so far, these people were all martial arts geniuses, and to simply buy their loyalty was not enough.

Seeing that no one responded, Bai Di's face changed, and he put down his knife and fork, saying he needed to go to the bathroom, then left for a while.

After a while, there was a sound of quarreling from outside.

Soon, the quarreling people approached, and it was Bai Di.

Lin Zhen turned around and saw that there were seven or eight people beside Bai Di, some from the Human Clan, and some from the Elf Clan and Wing Clan. They were all dressed ostentatiously and seemed ready to lay hands on Bai Di.

"You brat! You dared to run wild here and not take our Three Heroes Association seriously, huh?"

"Kneel down and apologize immediately, or we'll track your Dimensional Universe number and exterminate you in reality, killing your entire clan!"

"Coming to the Saint Demon Star and still daring to be so arrogant, you really think you're something special, huh?"

Taishan slightly furrowed his brows, "Not good, Bai Di has gotten into trouble with gangsters. The Three Heroes Association is a gang on the Saint Demon Star, established by a human, an elf, and a member of the Wing Clan. Their influence is not small."

A few martial artists nearby became nervous, "What should we do? Should we help Bai Di? Is it okay to fight in the Dimensional Universe?"

Huo Li snorted coldly, "Isn't that obvious? We came here together, representing the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Of course, we should stand united and advance as one. So what if they're a gang? Can they just bully us without restraint? What a joke! I'd like to see just how rampant this gang is."

As he spoke, Huo Li slapped the table and stood up, "Bai Di! Come over here and let me see who dares to lay a finger on you!"

Bai Di was being pushed and shoved by a group of gangsters, looking extremely distressed. But he didn't dare to take the initiative to go back to his seat, fearing that it would bring trouble to Huo Li and the others. Hearing Huo Li's shout, he felt like he had caught a lifesaving straw and ran back immediately.

The seven or eight gangsters behind him swayed and followed him over.

The leading human had an arrogant look on his face, "Who's trying to be a big shot here? Daring to meddle in our Three Heroes Association's business, are you tired of living?"

Huo Li stood up and snorted coldly, "Since when did the Tri-Heroes Association become so powerful that even the Fairy Forest, this feng shui treasure land, is within your sphere of influence? How come our Huo family doesn't know about this?"

"Huo family? Which Huo family?" The human martial artist looked a bit puzzled.

"The Huo family of Tianqi Star Mining." Huo Li said with satisfaction, showing that their family's influence was not small.

At this moment, Cao Yang whispered in Lin Zhen's ear, "Their family holds shares in the Tianqi Star Mining Group, though not a major shareholder. They are involved in the mining of some resource planets."

Lin Zhen nodded. Tianqi Star was a large planet, and the mining group was extremely wealthy, developing resources on planets everywhere. To be involved in this industry, one's behind-the-scenes power could not be too weak; both the underworld and the official world had to have a certain strength.

Although the Huo family was only a small shareholder, it should not be underestimated.

As expected, the face of the Human Clan warrior of the Tri-Heroes Association changed when he heard this.

"Are you the young master of the Huo family?"

"Yes, my name is Huo Li. You can go and inquire. Our family's mining group has connections with the higher-ups in your Tri-Heroes Association, so you'd better behave a little, or be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!"

Hearing Huo Li's righteous reprimand, the Tri-Heroes Association members became somewhat afraid.

"We are so sorry, Young Master Huo. We didn't know you were here. If we had known they were your friends, we wouldn't have dared to mess with them, even with more courage."

"Alright, innocent people are not guilty. You guys can go. Be more cautious next time."

"Hehe! Thank you, Young Master Huo, for not blaming us. We'll be going now."

The warrior led his people a few steps back, then loudly called the waitress to add a few more delicious dishes to their table at a cost of millions.

After the Tri-Heroes Association members left, Huo Li's face showed a smile again, "Let's continue eating, don't let a little incident disturb our drinking mood."

The meal continued, but some martial artists now looked at Huo Li with a hint of awe in their eyes.

Having strength, talent, and huge power behind him, even gang members had to give him some respect. There shouldn't be any problem with such a person as their leader, right?

Even Cao Yang and Taishan showed thoughtful expressions.

Only Lin Zhen's side basically didn't stop eating; they didn't forget to eat while watching the show, and that giant mammoth had already been eaten down to the bone by him.

Bai Di glanced at Lin Zhen, then said to everyone, "Does anyone still have objections to Huo Li being our leader?"

Most martial artists agreed, but Lin Zhen, Cao Yang, and Taishan remained silent.

After all, Cao Yang was from Lin Zhen's territory, so he needed to see Lin Zhen's opinion.

Lin Zhen ate another large chunk of mammoth meat, put down his knife and fork, and took a sip of wine, "Once we enter the World Stone, there will inevitably be many battles. What ultimately decides our fate is our individual strength, not our backgrounds."

Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Huo Li's face changed, not expecting Lin Zhen to be so unimpressed, and was about to erupt.

However, at this moment, the melodious sound of singing and the guqin filled the room again.

It turned out that Ling'er had finished her break, taken out her guqin, and started singing and playing on the stage.

Making loud noises at this time would be angering everyone, so Huo Li fiercely glared at Lin Zhen, "If it wasn't for my future wife being here, I'd show you what's what today!"

Lin Zhen didn't care about his threat, smiling as he picked up his wine glass for a sip. Indeed, Ling'er's guqin and singing were exceptional and deserved to be appreciated.

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that Ling'er's voice was somewhat similar to his wife Yue'er's, which inexplicably made him feel a little closer to her.

The guqin melodies were intoxicating…

Suddenly, a discordant sound broke the music.

A group of people rushed towards the stage, instantly attracting angry glances from everyone. They wanted to see who dared to disrupt their enjoyment.

However, upon seeing this group, many people quickly withdrew their gazes in fear.

There were about thirty or forty people in the group, including half-beast men from the Lion, Tiger, and Wolf Clans…

There were also some purple-haired, green-skinned demons, each with an incredibly fierce appearance and almost all of them at the Constant Star Stage.

On the Saint Demon Star, the Demon Clan and Beast-Men were two super aggressive races. The countless wars on the entire planet over the years were mostly started by them, so no one dared to offend them.

But what was most important was the embroidered pattern of a tower on their chests.

People of the Heavenly Tower!

The Heavenly Tower was not the same as the small local gangs like Tri-Heroes Association on the Saint Demon Star. The Tri-Heroes Association was just a tiny local snake, while the Heavenly Tower was one of the four major gangs in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, a truly powerful force!

Among these demons and half-beast men, there was a blond youth dressed in silver knight armor with an arrogant expression on his face, apparently the leader of these people.

Lin Zhen was surprised. Wasn't this the man from the Heavenly Tower he had seen when he first arrived at Hills Star?

The blonde youth waved to Ling'er on the stage, "You, don't sing anymore. Come down and drink with me!"

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Fierce Dragon Crossing the River

Translator: 549690339

After the blond youth finished speaking, many people in the bar stood up.

There were too many admirers of Ling'er, and quite a few people didn't know the background of this blond youth, so they immediately became unhappy.

"Who the fuck are you? Are you here to die?"

"How dare you ask Ling'er to drink with you? Did a donkey kick your head? You should look in the mirror and see what kind of scum you are."

"Don't think you're so amazing just because you brought a bunch of Demons and Half-beast Men with you. I also know friends from the Angel Clan. Do you want me to call them over and wipe you out?"

The blond youth looked around and sneered, "Great! I've been looking forward to this. I want to see who dares to mess with our Heavenly Tower in such a place as Saint Demon Star. Hurry up and find them, you don't have a choice!"

A few tall and strong Demons and Half-beast Men around him also sneered, "Are you guys tired of living? Do you know who this is? This is Jin Haonan, the young master of Heavenly Tower, and the son of Elder Jin."

Upon hearing this, the indignant knights suddenly stopped their rage.

So this was the son of the gang leader, Elder Jin, who was a supreme master at the peak of the star system and an elder-level figure in the Heavenly Tower.

Not to mention Elder Jin, Jin Haonan himself was already very famous— not even a hundred years old yet but already at Constant Star Level Nine, truly deserving the title of a genius.

Furthermore, he had the backing of the gargantuan Heavenly Tower; the four major gangs of Sanjiang Star Domain Federation were not easy to deal with. If they offended them, instances of their entire family being wiped out were far too numerous to count.

Jin Haonan, seeing that the knights around him were silent, burst into laughter, "A bunch of rats, you dare to compete with me for a woman! Come on, kill those who just spoke bullshit, and let them know that I, Jin Haonan, am not someone they can afford to offend!"

A few Demon experts immediately took action, and those who had just condemned Jin Haonan were now targeted by them.

Being killed in the Dimensional Universe was not a pleasant experience; if you were killed here, it would take a month to recover. If you were killed once, you couldn't enter the Dimensional Universe for a month.

It was like a smartphone addict being deprived of their phone for a month; they would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable. This was a hundred times worse since this was another world altogether.

Those people tried to escape, but the Demons and Half-beast Men brought by Jin Haonan were all experts, easily capturing them and killing them like chopping vegetables.

Blood splattered in the bar, and the corpses still lay on the ground, shocking almost everyone.

Seeing that no one dared to speak up, Jin Haonan walked up to the stage and looked at Ling'er with a lecherous smile, "My little beauty, don't be afraid of me. Although I am ruthless to my enemies, I cherish my women. I will play with you in the Dimensional Universe today, and tomorrow I will fly to the Saint Demon Star in a speed-light ship, marry you and let you enjoy a lifetime of happiness."

Ling'er's face had already turned pale from fright. Although she was a satellite stage expert, she was clearly powerless in front of Jin Haonan and his gang.

The boss of Fairy Forest Bar hurriedly ran out, bowing and kowtowing to Jin Haonan, "Young Master Jin, this… Ling'er is just a singer here, she is our bar's signature, and we can't afford to smash this sign at any cost. You see, whatever you want to eat, drink, or play, I'll provide it for free today. Just please let Ling'er go…"

"Slap!"

Jin Haonan responded with a resounding slap, shaking his hand, "Bullshit! How many men have those slutty fairies of yours accompanied already? Do you think I would stoop so low as to get involved with them? I only have eyes for Ling'er. If you don't know any better, watch out. I might lead the brothers of our Heavenly Tower to your Saint Demon Star and burn down this Fairy Forest of yours."

"Don't think that the high-ranking officials you know on Saint Demon Star can protect you. In front of our Heavenly Tower, those high-ranking officials count for nothing. If I'm not happy, I'll ask the Federal Parliament to remove your bullshit Human Emperor and Elf Queen!"

The boss's face was hit so hard that he saw stars, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Jin Haonan was not bluffing. Although it might not be easy to replace the Human Emperor or Elf Queen on Saint Demon Star, it wouldn't be difficult for them to destroy the Fairy Forest Bar.

The power of Saint Demon Star was simply not on the same level as that of Heavenly Tower.

Seeing that the bar owner had backed down as well, Jin Haonan's contemptuous gaze swept around him, "Does anyone else have a different opinion? If no one stands up, then I'll take this girl with me."

He even turned to the anxious owner beside him, "You don't have to worry too much either. This is the Dimensional Universe, and I can't really play her to death. I'm just here to enjoy myself. However, you'd better protect her well in reality. Tomorrow I will set off for Saint Demon Star and bring her back with me."

The Demons and Half-beast Men around him glared menacingly at the surrounding crowd, capturing everyone's attention and making them afraid to make any sudden moves.

Although the woman was beautiful, their own lives were more important.

Ling'er nervously hid in a corner of the stage, her beautiful eyes filled with panic. Even if she left the Dimensional Universe now, it would be useless; she couldn't escape the Heavenly Tower's watchful eyes, so she could only seek help from the people around her.

She recognized many customers in the bar, often coming to support her shows, and many people were pursuing her. She hoped that one of them would stand up and help her escape from this situation.

But she was disappointed. In the face of the underworld giant Heavenly Tower, all those guys who usually strutted around like kings on Saint Demon Star just backed down.

One by one, their heads bowed, they dared not look at the central figure, Jin Haonan, for fear of being noticed and having his anger vented on them. The fate of those who spoke out against him earlier was a reminder of Jin Haonan's brutality.

In the end, Ling'er's gaze fell on Huo Li, who was on the second floor.

This man often came to watch her and had repeatedly said that he wanted to marry her. Although Ling'er didn't like him, maybe if he could save her in this time of crisis, there could still be a chance.

Huo Li also felt Ling'er's pleading gaze and couldn't help but clench his teeth.

The trio from the Three Heroes Meeting earlier was actually just an act. Of course, he wasn't really afraid of the Three Heroes Meeting, but the Heavenly Tower was completely different.

Even the higher-ups of Tianqi Star Mining Group were only able to dominate the mining rights of those resource stars under the protection of the Heavenly Tower.

As the son of a minor shareholder in the mining company, was he even qualified to talk to the son of a Heavenly Tower elder?

Seeing Ling'er's pitiful plea for help, Huo Li finally hardened his heart and decided to give it a try. Maybe if he succeeded, he could really win the beauty's heart.

Gathering his courage, he walked down to the second floor and stopped Jin Haonan.

Jin Haonan's face changed instantly: "Oh, someone who doesn't know when to give up."

"No, no, no! Don't get the wrong idea, Young Master Jin. Let me introduce myself. My father is Huo Ming, a shareholder of Tianqi Mining. My name is Huo Li."

"Tianqi Mining…"

Jin Haonan was taken aback for a moment, and then his face darkened: "What does this Ling'er have to do with you?"

"Uh… she's my… girlfriend."

"Slap!"

Another loud slap hit Huo Li's face. Jin Haonan yelled, "I have been investigating her for a long time. She doesn't have a boyfriend. Don't think that just because you're from Tianqi Mining that you can pretend in front of me. Believe it or not, if I get angry, your Tianqi Mining will never be able to do any business!"

Huo Li's face stung with pain. He wanted to fight back, but he didn't dare. After all, Jin Haonan had the backing of gangsters, who acted without any scruples, whereas Huo Li couldn't afford such behavior.

Jin Haonan stared firmly at Huo Li: "Get lost right now, or I won't be polite any longer!"

Huo Li was boiling with anger. He was also a martial arts genius, and Jin Haonan's strength and realm were no greater than his own. Why should he allow himself to be beaten in front of a woman?

Ling'er was still watching him, and the shame was too much for him to bear. He wanted to resist but couldn't make up his mind, hesitating over the pros and cons of the situation.

At this time, Lin Zhen, Cao Yang, and the others had come down from the second floor. After all, they were all together, and they couldn't just stand by and watch Huo Li be beaten.

Taishan walked to the front, reached Huo Li's side, and said to Jin Haonan: "We are part of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. It's not good for you to hit our people."

Jin Haonan was also surprised. He might not care about Huo Li's identity, but he could not afford to ignore the emblem of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance.

Although the Star River Giant Beast Alliance did not have much power within the Sanjiang Star Federal Territory, in the broader scheme of the universe, Heavenly Tower couldn't hold a candle to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance.

He hesitated, unsure whether to continue to make enemies with Huo Li and his group.

Only then did Huo Li realize how foolish he had been. He shouldn't have mentioned his family to Jin Haonan. The Star River Giant Beast Alliance was their strongest backing.

But he was used to relying on his family and hadn't yet fully adapted to his new identity after recently joining the Alliance.

Seeing Jin Haonan seemingly wary of his identity, Huo Li's confidence rose again: "Jin Haonan, today you must apologize to Ling'er in front of me, promise to never harass her again, and let me slap you ten times. Otherwise, your Heavenly Tower will face bad luck!"

Jin Haonan had already intended to back down, but he didn't expect Huo Li to make such unreasonable demands, which made him furious.

Gangsters valued their face most of all. Even if they were part of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, they should still show some respect to the Heavenly Tower within the territory of the Sanjiang Star Federation.

The anger that had just subsided rose again rapidly. Jin Haonan raised his hand and slapped Huo Li once more!

Crack~~!!

"You little bastard! Do you think you can take advantage of me? Are you tired of living?"

Surrounding demons and half-beast men immediately surrounded them, encircling the group of ten or so people.

Huo Li was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Jin Haonan to be so ruthless, hitting him despite knowing his identity.

Although his anger was boiling inside, Huo Li still didn't dare to fight Jin Haonan.

This time, Huo Li was truly defeated.

Seeing Huo Li backing down, Ling'er felt desperate.

What kind of man was this, only able to bully the weak and afraid of the strong? Ling'er was disgusted with Huo Li.

After subduing Huo Li and his group, Jin Haonan sneered and approached the stage.

At that moment, he heard a familiar voice.

"Huo Li! You dared to claim the name of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and yet you were beaten without even daring to fight back! How can you even think about becoming a leader like that? As for that guy with the surname Jin, you're such scum for being able to do such a thing as kidnapping women!"

"Who?!" Jin Haonan suddenly turned around.

"Your uncle! Take this!"

A huge ivory suddenly swept over and hit Jin Haonan's head directly!

Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Fierce Battle

Translator: 549690339

The ivory Lin Zhen was holding was from a mammoth. He took hold of it, ready for a fight.

Two martial artists near Jin Haonan had been eyeing Lin Zhen, clearly recognizing who he was.

However, Jin Haonan was presently busy stealing women and didn't have time to deal with Lin Zhen just yet.

Lin Zhen was good at predicting danger, and he could bet that Jin Haonan and his men would eventually target him.

Since a showdown was inevitable, it was better to strike first. That was a principle Lin Zhen had always believed in.

Other than this, there was another reason. The Star River Giant Beast Alliance was a super organization, and they wouldn't tolerate being bullied by underworld groups from Intermediate Cosmic Nations like the Heavenly Tower. If they did, those on top of the Alliance would definitely be displeased.

It was disgraceful how oblivious Huo Li and his men were to situations. Lin Zhen would not humiliate himself.

So whether it was for private or public reasons, Lin Zhen directed this mammoth tusk towards Jin Haonan.

There was one thing different between the Dimensional Universe and the real world: other than places like the Asura Arena, all other dimensional spaces prohibited the use of weapons.

This was a virtual world where killing didn't carry huge consequences. If anyone could wield weapons, the dimensional world would have descended into chaos long ago.

Thus during fights, they generally used whatever they could lay their hands on as weapons.

This mammoth tusk was four meters long, thick and large. Lin Zhen grabbed it and swept it around!

Jin Haonan saw Lin Zhen but it was already too late to dodge.

"It's you~~!!"

"Boom!"

Despite trying to block with his arm, Jin Haonan was sent flying by Lin Zhen's attack, crashing heavily into the wall.

"Fuck! Attack him! Get this son of a bitch!"

Jin Haonan's eyes were red with fury. Realizing that Lin Zhen was not easy to deal with and that he dared to sneak attack him was something he could not tolerate.

When Jin Haonan called for battle, the Demon Clan and the Half-beast Men all joined in.

These belligerent warriors charged up to Lin Zhen, who shouted, "What are you waiting for? Are we, the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, afraid of these gangsters?"

Boom, boom, boom!!

Taishan was the first one to charge out. This titan and a half-beast man from the Lion Clan clashed head-on.

Though the Lion Clan half-beast man was also ferocious, Taishan's natural divine power was not so easy to resist. Like a rag doll, the half-beast man was sent flying dozens of meters away!

Taishan rammed into the half-beast man again, smashing him against the bar wall. After landing, he grabbed the half-beast man's foot, madly smashing him against the ground.

In the ensuing dust cloud, the half-beast man was smashed to death in a now completely chaotic bar.

That marked the start of the fight. Lin Zhen and Cao Yang then rushed towards the crowd. The martial artists around realized there won't be peaceful resolution and decided to give it their all, getting caught up in the chaos.

Huo Li, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally saw the situation clearly. If he didn't take action today, he might end up offending both sides.

He glanced at Ling'er in the corner of the stage and shouted, "Don't be afraid, Ling'er! No one will lay a finger on you today!"

Ling'er looked at Huo Li with a cold, disappointed gaze.

The battle broke out, and the bar was in total chaos. The patrons were used to such scenes.

Those uninvolved immediately retreated to the second floor, claiming a vantage point to watch the entertainment. They cleared the first floor for the fighters.

Even the barmaids, guards and the like cleared out. Anyone daring to fight here was not someone they'd want to mess with, so they decided to let the fighters resolve their issues until a conclusion was reached.

The Fairy Forest's bar was extremely sturdy. The tree supporting it was no ordinary tree, but a Tree of Life, a treasure of the Elf Forest. Those below the Star System Stage couldn't possibly destroy it.

Even during a brawl between high-powered Constant Star fighters, the most they could do was shatter interior decorations.

"Hoo, hoo!"

Lin Zhen dodged a fist, then quickly counterattacked.

Thousands of punches per second sent a green-skin demon flying backward. Lin Zhen weaved through the crowd, coming to the demon's side, and slapped out an energy ball.

Just like a bomb exploding at his waist, the demon screamed and flew up into the air. Lin Zhen's energy ball sent him crashing into the bar's chandelier.

However, the physical strength of the demons far surpassed that of humans. Even though the demon had been directly hit by the energy ball, instead of dying he wanted to counterattack Lin Zhen.

"Roar!"

While Lin Zhen was preparing to continue his attack, a Wolf Clan's half-beast man pounced on him. He left a deep bloody gash on Lin Zhen's back with a swipe of his claws!

Lin Zhen's battle was not easy. Level 9 Constant Star opponents were exceedingly powerful. What's more, members of the Demon Clan and Half-beast Men had one common characteristic: they were simple-minded.

Being simple-minded meant their spiritual power was somewhat concentrated. While they might not be able to become a Spiritual Mind Master, they were not afraid of Mental Shocks.

Even Lin Zhen's Sky Blue spiritual power found it difficult to knock them down with a single blow.

Without his weapon and the ability to use spiritual power, Lin Zhen was at a significant disadvantage in the fight.

In hand-to-hand combat, it was rare for anyone to be able to stand against the half-beast demon clan.

Besides, Lin Zhen discovered that many of these masters of the Constant Star Stage were under a hundred years old!

Considering that Jin Haonan was also under a hundred and likely to attend the young adults camp, their talents and abilities were no worse than Lin Zhen and his group's!

Even though they were all accomplished individuals of the Constant Star Stage, they had no advantage in battling these gangsters!

Wave after wave of energy storms swept through the room, powerful currents of energy strirred up. These forces, enough to move mountains and drain seas, could not even scratch the walls of the Fairy Forest. All their power converged in this hall, turning the scene into a living hell on earth!

One martial artist on Lin Zhen's side was caught in the crossfire of two half-beast men, and ultimately, his neck was severed and he was killed on the spot!

After all, they were outnumbered by half, and their individual strength also didn't give them much of an advantage. Defeat seemed imminent.

"Use your talents!"

Cao Yang let out a roar, and hundreds of arms appeared on his body. His fists rained down like a downpour, and he managed to kill a half-beast man of the Wolf Clan.

Reminded by this, the other martial artists immediately used their talents.

Some grew additional arms, some gained immense strength, some partially armorized, and some grew larger in size.

The use of their talents quickly shifted the tide of the battle. The opponents found it hard to adapt and suffered a counterattack from Lin Zhen and his group.

Taishan's talent was to turn into a Golden Titan. His over two-meter body increased to four; his body appeared to be made of gold. When he rushed into the crowd, he was impervious to the attacks of the demon-clan and half-beast men's claws and teeth, which could not harm him in the slightest.

His pair of golden palms, like two giant hammers, swung around and caused devastation among his enemies, killing four or five in a very short time.

Watching Taishan ravage through the crowd, Jin Haonan's eyes flashed with a murderous intent.

Like Taishan, he was also going to be a part of the young adults' camp and was an adversary to these people from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance.

If he offended them, he might as well do it thoroughly.

A layer of sky-blue light emerged on his body, and his arms turned into two giant blades similar to a door panel!

Intermediate-level Galaxy Beast, Star Ripper gene activated!

The Star Ripper, much like a gigantic mantis, was a terrifying galaxy beast and a natural fighter.

With his legs becoming extremely agile, Jin Haonan quickly plunged into the crowd, swinging his huge mantis blades, and killing two martial artists from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, who fell into puddles of blood.

"Hiss hiss!"

A flash of green light streaked past, and he was already in front of Taishan.

"Big guy, die for me!"

The green light flickered, and Taishan instinctively felt danger, putting his huge palm in front of vital parts for defense.

A series of metallic collisions echoed around. Taishan was far less quick than Jin Haonan and was cut by the mantis blade at the back of his neck!

The head of the Golden Titan was severed, and Taishan was killed in action!

While Taishan was falling, Lin Zhen was in the middle of the crowd, fighting.

With black scales appearing on his body, Lin Zhen used partial armorization.

Though his talent allowed for full armorization, he only stimulated half of its power, enough to freely wage war among the crowd.

His hands, covered in scales, had turned into lethal weapons. The wolfman behind him was killed with a single swipe to the head.

Like a bolt of black lightning, Lin Zhen continuously sought opportunities to kill.

After Jin Haonan killed Taishan, he headed straight for Ling'er on the stage.

Huo Li, who had been guarding Ling'er, saw Jin Haonan charging towards him and immediately activated his talent.

He had acquired the gene of the Thunder Beast, a galaxy beast. As he activated his talent, his whole body was covered in electric arcs. Thunderbolts struck Jin Haonan with ferocious intensity.

Huo Li was now going all-in, pushing his talent to the maximum, trying to fight Jin Haonan to the death.

He had already noticed that Ling'er disliked him. To win her over, he had to perform well, and now was the perfect opportunity.

Both possessing intermediate-level galaxy beast genes, their powers were evenly matched. Thunderbolts and blades clashed, making the situation extremely volatile!

"Come on, Jin, let's fight it out!"

Huo Li roared with fury, ready to risk his life in the fight against Jin Haonan. As he sensed that his power was slightly inferior to Jin Haonan, he planned to detonate himself to attack the opponent, determined to win Ling'er's heart no matter what!

Jin Haonan was also fully focused and intended to find an opportunity to kill Huo Li.

Just as the battle between the two was about to reach its climax, Lin Zhen, transformed into a streak of black light, quietly approached the battlefield.

Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Lin Zhen is Too Shameless

Translator: 549690339

It must be said that when Huo Li gets angry, his combat power is quite formidable.

As a Level 9 at the Peak of the Constant Star Stage and a Sky Blue Level Spiritual Mind Master, his combat power far surpasses that of ordinary people.

At the moment, he has initiated his intermediate Galaxy Beast transformation, covered in a layer of misty blue light. Lightning bolts rain down like a thunderstorm, turning the area in front of the stage into a hell on earth.

Even though Jin Haonan's talent is the battle-oriented Star Ripper, approaching Huo Li is by no means an easy task.

The massive green Mantis blade swings vigorously, blocking the thunderous force one after another, as he advances through the lightning.

"Huo Li! Don't be smug. As long as I get close to you, you're dead. Even if you can escape, the little girl behind you can't!"

Jin Haonan is quite confident, perhaps he can't directly kill Huo Li, but if Huo Li wants to protect Ling'er, he must confront him head-on.

The bar has been turned into hell, with energy storms and swords flying everywhere, making it impossible for Ling'er to leave the stage without facing certain death.

It is because the two leaders are fighting here that others deliberately avoid this area, giving them room for a showdown.

This is Jin Haonan's confidence. The Star Ripper is powerful at close range but weaker at long range. So he'd rather endure a few lightning strikes to get closer to Huo Li.

The stage is too small, and even with Huo Li's rain-like thunder, Jin Haonan quickly closes the gap within a few seconds.

Watching Jin Haonan turn into a hideous giant insect, and Huo Li obviously unable to stop him, Ling'er screams in fear from the corner of the stage.

She is an Elf Girl whose race is born to sing and dance, possessing unparalleled beauty. As the most beautiful Elf, she has both looks and disposition of an extraordinary favorite.

She loves life, singing, flowers, trees, nature, and all things good, kind-hearted, answeries -qualities inherit to Elves.

But her unmatched beauty has brought disaster.

There are too many people coveting her beauty, but with the protection of the Elf Clan, she has always been safe. However, Jin Haonan is different.

Even the owner of Fairy Forest can't stop him, and she doesn't know who else to rely on.

In front of her, Huo Li appears somewhat weak and can't stand up to protect her at the first sign of danger.

Although he is now standing before her, blocking Jin Haonan's attack, Ling'er remembers who was the first to stand up to save her.

It was another human youth, the one who fought bravely on the battlefield.

She didn't know if the young man took action for her sake, but his courage alone was admirable, and she hoped to see him again.

Unfortunately, the elemental energy was flashing wildly on the battlefield, making it impossible to see anything or find him.

And now Huo Li is still standing here, deep down, she wishes it wasn't him.

Her mind is in turmoil right now…

Jin Haonan has already approached within three meters of Huo Li, the constant bombardment of lightning power inflicts severe injuries on him, but the Star Ripper's battle form can still withstand it.

"Huo Li, you're finished!"

Huo Li takes a deep breath, "Jin Haonan, you forced me to this!"

With that, the third eye on his forehead opens!

He is a member of the Three-eyed Divine Clan, another naturally gifted battle race with an incredibly powerful fighting talent.

When the Three-eyed Divine Clan trains and reaches their Star Power saturation point, they can store their Star Power in their third eye and unleash a powerful strike.

This is their trump card, usually too precious to use, but for the sake of winning a beauty, Huo Li is going all out.

"Jin Haonan! Die!"

In the sky, the enormous Divine Eye opens!

An overwhelming force of deadly oppression instantly pervades the entire arena, with Jin Haonan immediately feeling the lethal threat.

"Ah! Huo Li! You won't get away with this!"

In this life-or-death moment, he also unleashes his ultimate move.

Martial skill!

Star Ripper!

His Galaxy Beast gene infusion had been longer than Huo Li, and he had already comprehended a powerful killing expertise from it. With this move, he had even killed a Black Hole Level expert, which is why he holds a high position within Heavenly Tower.

The two giant Mantis blades transform into a blade storm, unleashing an unprecedented powerful attack!

The blade storm withstands Huo Li's Divine Eye, its immense force causing the walls of the Fairy Forest to crack!

This is no longer damage that can be caused at the Constant Star Stage; it's almost like a Black Hole Level force colliding, causing people around to retreat in fear!

The dazzling light makes it impossible for the onlookers to see what is happening, and after about five seconds of energy element collision, it suddenly converges!

"Ugh~~~!!!"

Huo Li retreats, clutching his throat as blood seeps from between his fingers. His talent had not been fully cultivated after all, and he was defeated by Jin Haonan's Star Ripper.

Not a crushing defeat, but he lost by a hair, Jin Haonan also struggled but in the end, he was more proficient and managed to defeat him.

Having succeeded, Jin Haonan ignores his own wounds and leaps up, "Huo Li! If you want to be a Guardian of Beauty, you need power. Sticking your neck out will only bring disaster. Since you chose to protect that woman, prepare to die for your choice!"

Huo Li watches Jin Haonan approaching and feels fear and regret.

He is not dead yet. As long as he can find a safe place to exit the Dimensional Universe, he will be fine when he logs in again.

He can't stay out of the Dimensional Universe for a month, as he still has to deal with internal disputes and power struggles. If he can't enter, he might lose everything!

Ling'er was good, but she couldn't compare to his own family's status.

Even though he knew that he could end the battle by giving Jin Haonan another blow, he couldn't do it, so at this moment he chickened out again.

"Spare me…!"

Huo Li's voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for Jin Haonan and Ling'er to hear.

Ling'er's face, originally full of hope, suddenly filled with despair.

As expected, he's an unreliable person…

Jin Haonan even laughed out loud: "Fool! It's too late to beg for mercy now! But I despise you! You go to die; that girl is mine!"

Whoosh~~!!

The blade came slashing down again!

Huo Li closed his eyes. It's over, not only could he not save a life in the Dimensional Universe, but he even lost his face. If he knew this would happen, he would have just fought to the end and left a good impression on Ling'er.

"Clang~~!!"

The sound of metal striking rang out, shaking people's eardrums!

Jin Haonan's blade did not strike down but was blocked by someone!

Huo Li and Ling'er almost opened their eyes simultaneously, looking at the scene in front of them.

A cold-faced young man covered in black scales blocked Jin Haonan's mantis blade with his arm!

It's Lin Zhen! Huo Li recognized him.

It's him! Ling'er also recognized him, the young man who took action first.

"It's you, you bastard!" Jin Haonan was even more annoyed, itching at the roots of his teeth. This foreign kid who didn't give him face since he entered Hills Star was the one who messed things up for him earlier, and now he's messing with him again.

Unfortunately, Jin Haonan and Huo Li had fought fiercely, and at this moment, they were already at the end of their strength, unable to do anything to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen looked at Jin Haonan with a sneer: "Despicable and petty fellow, I told you earlier that with me here, none of your schemes would work. It seems you didn't listen, so I have to teach you a lesson."

"Bah! You're not worthy! If it wasn't for…"

"Puh!"

Lin Zhen didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense. He stepped forward, and his scale-covered palm turned into a claw, grabbing Jin Haonan's neck!

"If you don't know how to act like a human, then don't talk like one!"

Jin Haonan was lifted by Lin Zhen, struggling hard but only able to make gasping sounds.

"You want to talk about the Heavenly Tower to me? Don't you think I'd dare to kill you, not knowing that you're from the Heavenly Tower? As for our Star River Giant Beast Alliance, the Heavenly Tower means nothing!"

"I'm not like some cowardly rats who only bring disgrace to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. If you're not convinced, you can come to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance and find me. My name is Lin Zhen. You remember that!"

"Die!"

"Crack~~~!!!"

Lin Zhen exerted force with one hand, and Jin Haonan's neck was instantly snapped. He lost his resistance in an instant and died on the spot!

He wouldn't be able to enter the Dimensional Universe again for a month.

After killing him, Lin Zhen casually tossed Jin Haonan's corpse away like garbage.

Clapping his hands, Lin Zhen turned to look at Ling'er, who was hiding in the corner, her eyes filled with tears.

This girl was incredibly beautiful, transcending the mundane, and her voice reminded Lin Zhen of his wife Yue'er, giving him an inexplicable sense of closeness.

He slowly walked over, passing by Huo Li's side, crouched down, and gently reached out his hand, stroking Ling'er's hair as if treating Yue'er.

"It's okay, I've killed the bad guy. He can't log in to the Dimensional Universe for a month."

Being gently stroked by Lin Zhen, Ling'er's wavering heart calmed down quite a bit, and she felt an immense liking for Lin Zhen, who saved her at the brink of death.

However, she was still a little worried: "But… but he said he would come to Saint Demon Star."

"It's okay, I'll set off for the Saint Demon Star right now. I also have a light-speed spaceship. Would you like me to take you to a safe place?"

"I… I…" Ling'er felt at a loss, but her little hands firmly grasped Lin Zhen's clothes.

"Don't be afraid, if you can trust me, just call me 'big brother'."

As an elf, Ling'er has a special sensitivity to discerning people's intentions, and she can feel who genuinely wants to be good to her.

At this moment, Lin Zhen gave her a feeling of closeness and dependence, like her family.

With her small hands firmly holding Lin Zhen's hand, she leaned her delicate body towards him, nodding her head heavily.

"You have to come quickly, Ling'er will wait for you here."

"Very soon, it's only two hours to travel 20 light-years distance with my light-speed spaceship. You wait for me."

As they spoke, Huo Li couldn't help himself anymore from the side.

He could have left the Dimensional Universe now and not die, but he couldn't stand it anymore. Why, after he fought Jin Haonan so hard, nearly dying on the spot, after spending countless money on Ling'er for so many years without any results…

Why, when Lin Zhen arrived and killed Jin Haonan with a pinch, could he get close to Ling'er!

Ling'er was almost snuggling in his arms, looking like lovers. Huo Li was consumed with jealousy. He couldn't stand it, he wanted to ask for an explanation! He wanted to expose Lin Zhen's true face, that despicable little person!

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Lin Zhen's Privilege

Translator: 549690339

Huo Li felt a series of dizziness, holding onto his throat from which fresh blood flowed continuously, and walked towards Lin Zhen and Ling'er.

However, when Ling'er saw him approach, she seemed disgusted and hid behind Lin Zhen's back.

Lin Zhen sneered, protecting Ling'er. "Huo Li, if I were you, I wouldn't be trying to get closer to a girl now. Instead, I'd be worried about how to face Han Sha, Jie Li, and the others after this. As a member of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, you got slapped by gangs and didn't dare to fight back. You've completely brought shame upon our alliance!"

"I… I… She!"

Huo Li still wanted to argue and win Ling'er, but couldn't finish his words.

Lin Zhen waved his hand, "No more. The most embarrassing part is that you lost the fight. If it weren't for me, who knows what would have happened to Ling'er. You should be too ashamed to even approach her!"

Huo Li held his throat, mumbling unclearly, dizzy from Lin Zhen's words and Ling'er's disgusted attitude.

Blood seeped from his fingers, and he couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy, so he ended up dying.

As he died, he briefly regained clarity. His malicious gaze landed on Lin Zhen, but he also felt a little excited.

In the Dimensional Universe's battle, Lin Zhen was the first to attack, killing all the Heavenly Tower members. Therefore, the costs of food and drink, as well as the damages to the bar, fell upon Lin Zhen's side.

This meal cost a billion Sanjiang currency, and the damage to the bar had reached hundreds of billions. There were thousands of tables dining in the hall, each with consumption ranging from millions to billions. All the damages would be charged to Lin Zhen's party.

Add the bar's equipment, and the total reached a hundred billion, an amount even Huo Li couldn't pay in one go, and certainly not the penniless Lin Zhen.

The Dimensional Universe was maintained by a so-called Cosmic Crystal, and the consumption of these crystals needs to be paid for.

All the items generated within the Dimensional Universe were not simulated out of thin air. They required energy and cost, so one couldn't just arbitrarily destroy things here.

For example, when the Fairy Forest served them a dish, energy was consumed. The price charged by the bar was the profit after the cost of that energy. The same applied to other tables and facilities.

Normally, Huo Li should have paid this sum since he made the reservation, but now that he was dead and unable to log into the Dimensional Universe for a month, his bank card would need to be activated to pay.

Forcing a card payment was within the rights of the Hill Star branch of the Universe's First Bank, as long as a member with a higher level provided proof and made an application. The bank could forcibly launch Huo Li's card and deduct the funds as a way to prevent people from consuming in the Dimensional Universe and then not paying their bills.

However, Huo Li was now fearless because the card he used was given by his father, with an internal limit reaching hundreds of billion, which he was not allowed to use. Thus, his card reached the Gold Member level.

To force his card payment, a Platinum Member application was required, and Huo Li didn't believe there would be a Platinum Member in Hills Star.

Only those with trillions in savings could qualify for Platinum Membership, and even their mining group hadn't reached that level.

So, in the end, Lin Zhen would have to pay. If he didn't, it would mean they were in conflict with the Dimensional Universe Corporation!

The Dimensional Universe Corporation was a vast organization spanning the universe, much more powerful than the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. No one dared to confront them, so Lin Zhen and his comrades would have pay obediently.

Dying once saved him hundreds of billions, so it was worth it.

"Lin Zhen, you bastards! When you can't find the cash to pay, let's see how you can play the hero! If you all come begging me, I will humiliate you thoroughly and still won't give you the money!"

With that thought, Huo Li closed his eyes.

Lin Zhen didn't bother with Huo Li. After killing Jin Haonan, few people from Heavenly Tower were left. He rushed into the crowd to fight alongside his teammates. After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated the Heavenly Tower members.

They had deeply offended Heavenly Tower this time, but Lin Zhen didn't care. Sooner or later, they would have to face this conflict, so he might as well be decisive.

The battle ended with about seven people on Lin Zhen's side, while the Heavenly Tower was wiped out.

As Lin Zhen finished off the last Heavenly Tower member, Ling'er anxiously cried out, "Brother Lin, don't…."

The corpse fell, and Lin Zhen looked at Ling'er, "What's the matter?"

"You killed them all. You have to pay for the damages to the bar."

Ling'er was so worried she wanted to cry. Although she didn't have to pay for the damages, she didn't want Lin Zhen to pay either.

Lin Zhen smiled, "Ling'er, don't worry. I have a solution. You should leave the Dimensional Universe now and reach the Fairy Forest Bar in the real world in two hours. I'll find you there."

Ling'er gritted her teeth and nodded. "Be careful."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."

Ling'er left the Dimensional Universe, and the bar's owner approached.

This time, he was confident because Ling'er wasn't part of his property. He couldn't prevent Heavenly Tower from causing trouble, but the bar was his property, protected by the Dimensional Universe Corporation. Nobody could just smash it for free.

"Sir, you see…"

"How much in total?"

"It's counted, one hundred and twenty-five billion. Here's the bill."

A bill generated within the Dimensional Universe listed all the things, and it was quite long.

The other Martial Artists' faces changed color. If they had to pay the sum, even if it was divided equally, it would still be a heavy burden.

Lin Zhen smiled at the others: "You don't need to worry, I'll take responsibility for this, rest assured, someone will pay for it."

Asking the bar owner to wait, Lin Zhen whispered to Cao Yang beside him: "Shouldn't this be paid by Huo Li?"

"Yes, but he can't enter the Dimensional Universe to pay now, so he can only force the card through the bank, but the level needs to be higher than Huo Li's to apply. I know he has a Gold Member card, but it's useless in this situation."

Lin Zhen turned to the bar: "I'll give you the Dimensional Universe code, now go out and get the money, wait for me."

Having the Dimensional Universe code, they weren't afraid of Lin Zhen running away. Lin Zhen and his group all left the Dimensional Universe.

After leaving the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen returned to his room.

Stepping out of the room, his companions were all here, including Huo Li.

Huo Li looked at Lin Zhen, his face full of resentment and a hint of arrogance: "Lin Zhen, don't be delusional, I won't pay that bill, if you have the ability, pay it yourself."

Lin Zhen snorted: "Do you think I came to beg you for money?"

"Isn't that the case? I heard it all, more than 10 billion, Lin Zhen, I have written down everything you did today, and we will settle our accounts later."

"Hehe! That's what I thought too, but there's a slight difference between our intentions. Our accounts can't be settled slowly, they must be settled today, right now."

"What do you mean?" Huo Li became cautious.

"You'll know soon."

Lin Zhen knew Huo Li's Dimensional Universe code, immediately re-entered the Dimensional Universe, saved all the screenshots of the Fairy Forest Bar incident, and then went to the Hills Star branch of the Universe's First Bank.

Through Huo Li's code, he found the other party's bank account.

Lin Zhen's account was a platinum account, and he immediately requested Huo Li to compensate for the loss of the Fairy Forest Bar.

Faced with the platinum customer's request, the bank didn't dare to delay and quickly verified the evidence. The process was swift, and in less than five minutes, 12.5 billion was transferred from Huo Li's card!

After exiting the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen saw Huo Li with wide eyes and a dumbfounded expression.

More than 10 billion disappeared just like that!

"What's going on? Why was my money forcibly taken?"

Lin Zhen sneered: "Isn't it clear? I submitted an application to the bank, and made you compensate the Fairy Forest Bar for its losses, and then your money was gone."

"You… you have a platinum account?" Huo Li stared in disbelief.

Lin Zhen didn't answer Huo Li's silly question and turned and left the room.

There were gasps of surprise from behind him.

Wealth is also a kind of strength. Many people present could afford this compensation, but it would be a huge burden. They all knew what a platinum account represented.

An account balance of one trillion is required for a platinum account.

A trillion in Sanjiang currency is an enormous amount of wealth!

The seemingly unknown Lin Zhen was actually a platinum account holder, just what kind of background did he have?

He was rumored to be a minor lord of the Tianhe Empire, but could the lords of a minor civilized Universe Country really be so wealthy?

The martial artists present looked at Huo Li and felt that he was far from Lin Zhen and not worthy of being their leader.

Huo Li clenched his teeth, losing more than 10 billion, being unable to enter the Dimensional Universe for a month, and completely disgusted Ling'er; he was truly unlucky today.

"Lin Zhen! You have guts, but don't forget, in the Martial Artist's world, strength still decides victory and defeat. Today, you humiliated me, and I will repay you. See you at the World Stone!"

Grinding his teeth, Huo Li forced these words out from between them. Just as he was plotting how to retaliate against Lin Zhen, a voice came from behind.

"Huo Li, what happened at the bar today?"

The voice was cold, it was Jie Li's voice. Even though Han Sha and Jie Li's strength wasn't particularly strong, they represented the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and no one dared to offend them.

Huo Li couldn't help but shudder and quickly explained: "It was Lin Zhen… He attacked first, otherwise, nothing like this would have happened. He also…."

"Enough!"

Han Sha roared: "If it wasn't for Lin Zhen's intervention, the face of our Star River Giant Beast Alliance would have been lost today. We, a cross-universe organization, were being suppressed by a gang. Are you really not trying to attend the Under 100 Year Concentration Camp?"

"It's not like that, I…"

"No need to say anymore, you can pack your things and leave now. Our Star River Giant Beast Alliance doesn't need cowards!"

Both Han Sha and Jie Li showed no mercy. In this matter, Huo Li was at fault. Besides, he had a conflict with Lin Zhen. What kind of person was Lin Zhen?

He was a man who had obtained the Super Star River Beast gene. Han Sha and Jie Li were obligated to ensure his safety. It could be said that their future was tied to Lin Zhen's honor. Compared to that, people like Huo Li, who had obtained intermediate genetic fluid, were nothing. To provoke Lin Zhen was like seeking death!

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Meteor Late Stage

Translator: 549690339

"Oh my God, big brother, this is absolutely luxurious."

Ling'er's hand, white as jade, gently caressed the spaceship, expressing astonishment.

She knew that the material used to construct this spaceship was called a Perpetual Crystal. She had once seen the bar owner gift his girlfriend a Perpetual Crystal necklace, whom she cherished like a treasure, flaunting it at every opportunity.

The necklace was worth a billion, and its radiant aura was indeed irresistible to a girl.

Being a girl herself, Ling'er found beautiful things appealing and had indeed felt envy before.

But she had never even dared to dream that someone would construct a spaceship out of such material!

The casual "brother" she had just acknowledged was actually wealthy to this extent!

She couldn't estimate the exact worth of this spaceship, only knew that it must be incredibly expensive, costing an astronomical amount.

Lin Zhen watched Ling'er, who was looking around the spaceship with admiration. She was an adorable girl; the unique genes of the Elf Clan made her incomparably beautiful.

Lin Zhen couldn't intervene in every injustice, but he was willing to lend a hand to those he had a good impression of.

After Ling'er had looked around for a while, she returned to Lin Zhen's side. "Brother, your spaceship is great, but it lacks vitality. It would be nice to decorate it with some flowers and vegetation."

"You can arrange it to your liking, Ling'er."

"Really? Can I really do that?" Ling'er opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Why not? It's just a spaceship after all." Lin Zhen replied with a smile.

"Ah! Thank you big brother!"

Ling'er energetically hugged Lin Zhen's neck, laughing like a child.

Laughing too, Lin Zhen gently pushed Ling'er away. It wasn't that he didn't like her, but rather that this incarnation of his had its limitations.

While Ling'er was a beautiful girl, and even though he didn't start with any particular intentions, him being a man naturally lead to growing fond of her. Since he was developing feelings, he couldn't just let anyone touch her, not even his other incarnation.

Ling'er felt a little wronged when she was pushed away, her large eyes revealed her unhappiness and she did not speak anymore, sulking off to one side.

Helplessly, Lin Zhen had to tell her that this was just another incarnation of his. This caused Ling'er to burst into giggles, her eyes full of playful banter as if to say that Lin Zhen was being overly cautious.

However, she understood the boundaries, and didn't have too intimate contact with Lin Zhen's incarnation again.

The spaceship entered the parallel universe, hurrying towards Hills Star.

"Sir, the price of our Mysterious Iron Essence is undoubtedly fair. Each gram sells for five hundred, and you won't find a lower price anywhere in the Hills Star."

"Oh, are you that sure?"

"Heh heh, to tell the truth, sir, we receive our goods directly from the resource stars, and we also have contacts within the mining group. This eliminates many middle steps, lowering the cost and in turn the selling price, so I'm confident saying so. How much are you considering, sir?"

"If I buy a lot, can it be cheaper?"

"If it's indeed a large quantity, we can negotiate."

Lin Zhen calculated. His main body carries the gene of a Black Hole Beast. To advance, in addition to cultivation, he needs a large amount of energy-rich metal, the absorption of internal energy transforms Star Power to make a breakthrough.

Chris had already made a list of metals that Lin Zhen needs to absorb, he needs to start absorbing from the lowest-level, Mysterious Iron Essence, a first trial of ten tons.

Five hundred per gram makes it five hundred thousand per kilogram, five billion per ton, and fifty billion for ten tons.

After some consideration, Lin Zhen said: "I offer four hundred per gram, I will take ten tons at one go. If the effect is good, I will buy in bulk."

The metals merchant was taken aback, [he] hadn't expected Lin Zhen to make such a big move and bargain so ruthlessly.

After calculating the profit, although the profit wasn't great, the quantity was huge. In order to secure Lin Zhen as a big client, he made the concession: "Deal! But it has to be cash."

"Of course, I can transfer the amount to you right now, you prepare the Mysterious Iron Essence."

The transaction was quickly settled. The warehouse of these metal merchants are their Space Rings, each ring can hold an infinite amount of metal, and he had a total of ten rings in his hand.

He transferred over forty billion in cash and received ten tons of Mysterious Iron Essence.

Lin Zhen bought a large detached mansion in the Hills Star. It isn't exactly luxurious, but it was huge, covering a radius of ten miles, just so he wouldn't be disturbed.

Inside the villa, he placed ten tons of Mysterious Iron Essence in the yard and then sat on top of it.

His current realm was stable at the Meteor Level 6 Peak, and he wanted to try for a breakthrough.

Ten tons may sound like a lot, but in reality, it is only a small pile, just like a box stacked up.

Sitting there, Lin Zhen began to feel an intense feeling of hunger.

Not for food, but with desire to consume the pile of metal!

Sitting there, his body involuntarily began to grow black scales.

His clothes burst apart easily and Lin Zhen transformed into a creature resembling a black Kylin.

The Black Hole Beast was about to feed!

A terrifying aura began to permeate around him. Lin Zhen's mind was immersed, and a point of light started to flicker above his head.

That was the Naked Singularity, the birthplace of a black hole!

After the appearance of the Naked Singularity, the surrounding black rays of light began to flash. Space started to collapse and rotate automatically, creating a human-made miniature black hole.

The energy within the pure iron was attracted by the black hole and began to be channeled into it.

Streams of black energy flowed upwards like water, forming a protective barrier that encapsulated Lin Zhen within.

This layer of protection was entirely fluid metal, impervious even to missile bombardment from the outside.

Silently~~~!!!

The process progressively continued in silence as the mass of the pure iron gradually lightened, transforming into common iron.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen's stagnant realm once again made progress!

When half of the pure iron's energy was absorbed, Lin Zhen broke through the barrier of the Meteor Level 6 Peak and directly advanced to Meteor Level 7!

"Amazing! Such a freakish Black Hole Beast indeed!"

At this moment, Lin Zhen's heart was surged with excitement. No wonder it was a mutated Galaxy Beast even stronger than a Super Star River Beast. This upgrading speed alone was unparalleled among all people, races, and Galaxy Beasts!

As to why he would have this gene, Lin Zhen knew in his heart that the Black Hole Beast was a mutated Kylin. He already had Xiao Nuan's blood, and his soul had traversed a black hole, forming a black hole within the Dark Star. Such an opportunity had combined multiple once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunities, giving him the Black Hole Beast's gene.

"As long as I have this talent for upgrading, all other talents are worthless before me."

About an hour later, this pile of pure iron was entirely absorbed, becoming ordinary iron devoid of any energy.

Lin Zhen opened his eyes, a mysterious light flickered in his eyes. His realm had already reached the mid-stage of Meteor Level 7.

"Finally, I've reached the late Meteor stage. But after this absorption, I need to wait about a month to digest before I can absorb again."

"Now I just need pure iron, but when I reach the Comet Stage, I will need Fire Copper Essence. And each absorption costs double the price of the last one!"

"This first time required forty billion Sanjiang currency. The more I progress, the more money I need to spend. When I reach the Planet Stage or Constant Star Stage, it will require a staggering amount of money."

Lin Zhen stood up, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship had returned from outside.

Ling'er disembarked from the spaceship. Seeing Lin Zhen in the yard, she knew that this was her brother's real body and immediately ran towards him like a little swallow.

Lin Zhen spread his arms and gently hugged Ling'er.

"Ling'er, you and I met by chance, but we are fated. From now on, your brother will take care of you until you get married."

Ling'er lowered her head in thought, then suddenly looked up and said, "Brother, you have a funny way of telling lies."

Lin Zhen felt slightly awkward and gave a sheepish grin. He was just trying to gauge Ling'er's feelings, but he didn't expect this quirky little girl to see through him at a glance.

"No laughing at your brother."

Looking at her delicate, translucent, and non-human pointed ears, Lin Zhen couldn't help but give them a pinch.

Ling'er gave a startled yell and backed away, her face flushing beet red.

Only then did Lin Zhen realise that he had been abrupt. The ears of an elf girl were their most sensitive part, it's a forbidden area just like a human girl's. They were not to be touched by anyone other than their lovers.

Lin Zhen chuckled awkwardly, "Ling'er, we will live here from now on. You are the mistress of this place. You can plant any flowers, grass, or trees you want, and decorate it however you like."

This villa cost Lin Zhen forty billion and covered a large area, even featuring springs and artificial lakes. Ling'er fell in love with this place the moment she saw it.

Especially Lin Zhen's words about being the mistress, it made her feel a sense of belonging.

"Okay! I will definitely decorate it well. This is our home, mine and brother's."

Lin Zhen gave Ling'er a card with fifty billion Sanjiang currency for her to spend freely.

Ling'er herself was about to advance to the Planet Stage from the Satellite Stage, she was a genuine genius who needed money for cultivation.

Ling'er didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Zhen, she accepted the card and bounced off to explore her new home.

At this moment she felt like the luckiest person in the world. Meeting Lin Zhen was her good fortune. However, elves were naturally indifferent. As long as she could stay by Lin Zhen's side, she didn't care much about money.

Seeing Ling'er's happy expression, Lin Zhen also felt good.

But he didn't relax at all. He already knew about Huo Li's expulsion.

Considering how much Han Sha and the others valued him, Lin Zhen felt a lot of pressure. If he couldn't produce results with the World Stone, he would certainly let them down.

There were only eleven months left until the day of the World Stone opening. Lin Zhen had planned for this time period. Apart from buying metal for upgrading, it was to go to the Asura Arena's virtual field for cultivation!

Chapter 447: Chapter 417: Simulated Battlefield

Translator: 549690339

The Asura Arena's simulation field is the best place for cultivation.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can simulate any environment or opponent you want here.

At this stage, money is not a problem for Lin Zhen, so he can fully utilize the simulation field.

"Master, this is the simulation field."

Lin Zhen arrived at the Asura Arena and looked at the open space before him. Chris explained it to him.

"Tell me about the plan you've set up for me."

"Well, Master, you don't need to spend time cultivating your realm at the moment. Instead, you need time to hone your skills and improve your combat capabilities through endless battles."

"Based on your requirements, I have made a systematic analysis. First of all, we need to work on your spear techniques. You have currently mastered Nine Layers Spear River, Thunder Kill, and Meteor, among others. You should integrate them to create a unique and special spear technique that belongs to you."

"Furthermore, I bought a secret manual called Star Fall today in the marketplace. It's the seventh move of the Nine Layers Spear River. You can also integrate it into your new spear technique."

Lin Zhen nodded. Acquiring Star Fall was indeed a pleasant surprise, but he still needed time to familiarize himself with it.

"How should I choose my battles?"

"I currently recommend that you challenge specific battle scenarios."

As Chris spoke, a row of captions appeared in front of Lin Zhen.

"These are the designated environments in the simulation field. You can choose to clear these scenarios. Endless battles within them can rapidly improve your combat capabilities."

Lin Zhen looked at the captions, which offered a wide variety of environments.

Elf Forest, Dwarf Cave, Dragon Clan Mountain Range, Hell Demon Clan, Bottomless Abyss, Zombie Siege, and so on.

Each map had difficulty levels: normal, nightmare, hell, and purgatory.

"What's the difference between these four difficulties?"

"Of course, there's a difference. Normal difficulty is easy. Although the monsters and enemies inside are the same, their actual strength is significantly different. Out of ten thousand people who enter, at least five thousand would be able to clear it."

"Nightmare difficulty is quite different. Out of ten thousand people who enter, it would be impressive if a hundred can clear it."

"Hell difficulty is designed for real geniuses. Out of ten thousand people, only a few can clear it."

Lin Zhen laughed, "Then in purgatory difficulty, out of ten thousand people, maybe only one person can clear it."

Unexpectedly, Chris said, "No, not just one in ten thousand. Even if a hundred million people entered, it might not be possible for one to clear it."

"Is it that difficult?" Lin Zhen was stunned.

"Yes, it's the highest difficulty level in the Constant Star Stage. Of course, Master, you can also choose Comet Stage or Satellite Stage, which you can clear without much difficulty."

Lin Zhen resolutely shook his head: "Absolutely not. After entering the World Stone, I face enemies mainly in the Constant Star Stage. Lowering the difficulty now will not help me train effectively."

"Since you have decided, Master, you can make your choice now."

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: "Normal difficulty definitely won't work for me; it's not challenging. Let me try nightmare difficulty first. You said that out of ten thousand people, a hundred can clear it, I should be able to do it."

"Master, I forgot to emphasize that basically, no one can clear it on their first try. It requires familiarity before you can progressively clear it step by step. The success rate of clearing nightmare difficulty on the first try is one in a million!"

Lin Zhen nodded, understanding the one-in-a-million concept. Those who come to the simulation field are geniuses among geniuses, not ordinary people.

Out of a million geniuses, only one can clear it on the first try. While Lin Zhen was confident, he understood the immense difficulty of this challenge.

"Master, if you can clear a map's hell difficulty within a year, you can be considered a top-tier genius—an outstanding figure within the Constant Star Stage! So, don't be impatient."

"Don't worry, I can handle losing. No one in this world can win forever. I'll work on it step by step."

Looking at the hundreds of designated maps, Lin Zhen picked one: "What is this Zombie Siege concept?"

"Zombie Siege refers to a disaster on a planet where humans have turned into extremely powerful zombies. Enemies are everywhere, and you can't get hurt in this map, as the zombie virus is infectious. If you get infected, you'll fail and become a zombie within ten minutes."

"Even when I'm completely immune to toxins and my scale armor is impenetrable to weapons, would I still get hurt?"

"Once you enter this designated map, your immunity to toxins will be void, and you won't be able to use your scale armor. Moreover, your spiritual power cannot attack zombie-like creatures as you'll be in a no-fly zone. Are you sure you want to enter?"

"Yes. Martial Artists must be able to fight under any circumstance. This will provide me with an even better opportunity to hone my spear techniques."

As Lin Zhen made his decision to enter, Chris immediately started the process.

"Entering simulation field… Zombie Siege… Data transmission in progress…"

"Entering… Final objective… Kill the Fifth-level Zombie King in the city center square, and rescue at least fifty survivors."

The scene before Lin Zhen's eyes changed, revealing a city reminiscent of the A.D. era.

He stood in a secluded alley in the city. A light curtain surrounded the area, a safezone for rescued survivors.

Beast-like roars echoed throughout the city, the so-called zombies.

"This environment feels incredibly real, not like a virtual environment at all."

Lin Zhen looked down at his clothes, unchanged from when he first entered, only his surroundings had changed.

He raised his hand, and the Yin-Yang Spear appeared in his grip.

Trying to use his Spiritual Power, he found that he couldn't fly, but Mental Shock and flying knives were still available to him.

However, Mental Shock was useless here. According to the information, the zombies didn't possess any intelligence and were just reanimated corpses.

"Well, I'll just fight them slowly. My spear is perfect for combat in this environment."

A few wandering zombies approached him at a rapid pace, faster than a normal human, but nothing Lin Zhen couldn't handle.

His spear trembled, sending out several frigid lights, each hitting a zombie's head and creating a bloody hole.

"That wasn't too hard."

Lin Zhen sped up, heading straight into the city.

Zombies encountered along the way were swiftly killed by a single thrust. Lin Zhen grew more and more relaxed.

Occasionally, Lin Zhen would find survivors and bring them back to safety. In less than three hours, he had already saved twenty people.

"I think today's mission can be easily completed. Chris's claim about a one-in-a-million chance seems a bit exaggerated."

As Lin Zhen attacked a group of zombies approaching from ahead, one suddenly increased its speed.

The sudden attack caught Lin Zhen off guard, leaving a bloodied scratch across his chest.

"Damn, this is a Level two Zombie with increased agility. I was too careless!"

A potent virus began to attack Lin Zhen's nerves, and he knew his challenge had failed.

Lin Zhen didn't linger in the virtual world. With a calm mindset, he easily killed the Level two Zombie before leaving the simulation.

"That Level two Zombie's attack speed was definitely faster than the speed of sound. And it's only Level two, just a nightmare difficulty. It seems that the strength of these zombies far surpasses those from the movies back in the Common Era. I was too careless."

Lin Zhen reflected on his previous failure and entered the virtual battlefield for the second time.

The second time, Lin Zhen managed to save forty survivors. But during a melee battle with a group of zombies, he got hit by a Fourth-level Zombie and failed again.

This fierce battle exposed some shortcomings: his spear techniques weren't sharp enough during group fights. Previously, his body was protected by armor scales, and he was immune to all poisons. But now, the situation had changed.

On the bright side, such circumstances were perfect for honing his skills.

With this realization, Lin Zhen didn't rush to complete the challenge. Experiencing actual combat was a rare opportunity, and it was crucial to learn from it.

During his third attempt, Lin Zhen saved more survivors and effortlessly killed large groups of zombies until he encountered a Fifth-level Zombie King and was eliminated again.

This battle allowed Lin Zhen to further understand his spear techniques.

"Before, I focused on the lethality and attack power of my spear techniques. My powerful attack moves often left me ignored my own defense and led to me getting injured in battles. As my opponents get stronger in the future, I must avoid such situations."

"Precision, continuity, evasion – those are what I need to practice for now."

"But this nightmare difficulty doesn't seem hard anymore. I'll clear it today and head to Hell, where the real challenge lies!"

In his fourth attempt, Lin Zhen killed the Fifth-level Zombie King and successfully cleared the nightmare difficulty.

After clearing it, Lin Zhen thought Chris would praise him. But all he received was an indifferent comment: "You barely made it through the nightmare on your fourth attempt. Mediocre performance. I truly have no confidence that you'll make it through Hell within a year."

Lin Zhen was displeased. Was it really that exaggerated?

Lin Zhen then entered Hell difficulty in the Zombie City Siege, only to find the difficulty had increased a hundredfold!

Ordinary zombies, who only had a bit of strength, now had the power of Planet Stage Martial Artists!

The strength of Level two Zombies had reached the Planet Stage peak!

Level three and higher Zombies possessed Constant Star Stage power.

Facing the enormous zombie-infested city, Lin Zhen licked his lips: "This is going to be fun. No wonder Chris said that even a top genius would struggle to clear the Hell difficulty within a year."

"I can't use Mental Shock, can't fly, and my biggest trump card is restricted. This challenge will be insanely hard."

"Bring it on! Only an environment like this can truly unleash my potential. Let's see if Hell difficulty can stop me!"

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Comet Level 8, Phantom God Strike!

Translator: 549690339

Ever since entering the Hell difficulty, Lin Zhen had been spending each day amidst failure and challenges.

In the first month, Lin Zhen's best performance was only achieving 15% progress.

However, a month later, Lin Zhen's main body had completely absorbed the first round of Mysterious Iron Essence and was ready for the second round of absorption.

This time, the cost of the Mysterious Iron Essence was 8 billion Sanjiang coins, which wasn't too much for Lin Zhen to handle.

After absorbing this Mysterious Iron Essence, Lin Zhen's realm had another breakthrough, reaching the mid-phase of Meteor Level Eight.

Spending money wasn't a big deal now, but Lin Zhen knew that once he advanced to the Comet Stage, his expenses would skyrocket.

After leveling up, Lin Zhen once again challenged the zombie siege in Hell mode, and after a month of trying, he reached 32% progress.

Then, he spent 16 billion to buy Mysterious Iron Essence, advanced to Meteor Level Nine, and challenged it again!

He achieved 50% progress, and at the cost of 32 billion, Lin Zhen finally made a significant breakthrough, successfully entering the Comet Stage!

After his main body entered the Comet Stage, Lin Zhen's clone entered the Constant Star Stage.

However, Lin Zhen had never revealed his clone, as this was his crucial reliance after entering the World Stone.

During this time, Han Sha and the others would occasionally inquire about Lin Zhen's situation, but he would always decline to meet them citing his busy cultivation schedule.

He didn't want to be disturbed during this time and didn't want others to see his rapid progress.

Entering the Comet Stage, Lin Zhen's Star Power doubled again, releasing an exponential increase in strength after crossing this major boundary.

With the increase in strength, Lin Zhen fought all the way to 99% completion in Hell mode, only to lose at the final challenge against the Zombie King. This result also shocked Chris.

From that day on, Lin Zhen had found the best sparring partner for his spear practice, which was the Zombie King in Hell mode. Every time he reached this stage, Lin Zhen would fight against the Zombie King.

This zombie possessed both agility and power, and its strength had reached the peak of the Constant Star Stage, which was almost half a step into the Black Hole realm. At first, Lin Zhen was no match for it, but as time went on, he gradually became more offensive and defensive in the fight against it.

On the fourth month, Lin Zhen bought ten tons of Fire Copper Essence from the metal dealer.

The price of Fire Copper Essence was 5,000 coins per gram, and Lin Zhen spent 40 billion on his first absorption, which was ten times that of his consumption during the Meteor Stage!

After entering the Comet Stage, absorbing Mysterious Iron Essence was no longer useful. Lin Zhen roughly calculated that the several hundred billion Kirin coins he had now could ultimately only help him reach Comet Level 9.

After that, the cultivation at the Satellite Stage would require Mithril, which would consume most of the money he had on hand.

"Never mind, money is just an external object; it's better to quickly improve my realm."

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed….

Lin Zhen sat cross-legged on top of a tall building in the ruined city, with stars flickering all over his body and his long hair dancing in the wind.

Beneath his feet was the central square of the city, where the zombies roamed in waves, and that Zombie King, whom he had faced countless times, dominated the center.

The Yin-Yang Spear laid across his body, and the Seven Stars Knife danced around him, forming a spinning blade formation, protecting Lin Zhen within.

"After seven months of training, my spear technique has finally reached the point of mastery."

"Seven types of energy elements, the power of time, the power of space, all of my insights can be expressed within a single spear."

"With the power of space and the acceleration of time, my spear technique is elusive and difficult to distinguish between real and fake. Moreover, the energy elements can switch freely, and all changes are at my command; even the gods will struggle to predict."

"If I were to give my spear technique a name, it would be called Phantom God."

With a raise of the Yin-Yang Spear, Lin Zhen leaped down from the tall building!

Although he couldn't fly here, it was effortless for someone of Lin Zhen's caliber to perform such a leap.

He rushed headfirst towards the ground, flipping his body gracefully just before landing.

Smelling the human scent, the zombies immediately howled and charged at Lin Zhen from all directions.

With a movement of his spiritual power, the Seven Stars Knife crossed the air, creating strings of electric sparks from the unleashed energy elements, and leaving corpses lying on the ground!

These zombies, who had reached the third and fourth ranks of the Constant Star Stage, couldn't even withstand Lin Zhen's single strike!

With one blow, all the minions around the Zombie King were killed, and Lin Zhen, holding his spear, charged towards the Zombie King.

The Zombie King's iron armor allowed it to reach a speed of one hundred times the speed of sound, and it was in front of Lin Zhen in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the foul-smelling air rushing towards him, Lin Zhen kept his composure, took two steps back, focused his mind, and thrust his Yin-Yang Spear out.

A quick spear, a fierce spear, an unavoidable spear!

Phantom God Strike!

The spear suddenly accelerated on its way!

All the energy was concentrated on one point, and the zombie king's armor, which was comparable to a divine artifact, couldn't resist Lin Zhen's Phantom God Strike at all. It didn't even have a chance to react and was pierced through the throat by the spear!

The power of space spread along the tip of the spear, cutting the zombie king's head off directly!

This was Lin Zhen's first time slaying a Hell difficulty zombie king, and he did it with just one move!

"I did it!"

"I knew it, once I truly grasped my own spear technique, there would be very few opponents left for me in the Constant Star Stage."

"Although I only comprehended one spear move, this one move is enough to defeat too many people, even those in the Black Hole Period!"

"Hell difficulty no longer poses much of a challenge for me. Next, I will try to challenge Purgatory!"

It took Lin Zhen seven months to break through the Zombie Siege on Hell difficulty, a feat that left Chris speechless.

Moreover, Lin Zhen had also advanced to Comet Level 4, his strength skyrocketed.

But when challenging the Purgatory difficulty, Lin Zhen once again encountered strong opposition. The lowest-level zombies here were at the Constant Star Stage, Level 3 zombies were at the peak of Constant Star Stage, and Level 4 zombies were in the Black Hole Period.

Level 5 zombie kings had reached the peak of the Black Hole Period!

Chris told Lin Zhen frankly that almost no Constant Star Stage martial artists could complete the Purgatory difficulty map. So far, none in the entire Sanjiang Star Domain Federation had completed it.

Lin Zhen didn't know how many people in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation had challenged Purgatory, but there was no doubt that the number was astronomical.

None of them had completed it, which gave Lin Zhen a new understanding of Purgatory's difficulty.

However, he liked challenges. The harder it was, the more it could hone his skills. During this time, not only did his Star Power increase, but his Spiritual Power also grew stronger and stronger through constant life-and-death battles. Currently, within his Spiritual Consciousness Sea, his sky blue spiritual power had reached 70%, which was considered the late stage of sky blue.

"There are still four months before entering the World Stone. I hope that my realm will improve and my strength will increase in these four months, otherwise, I won't be able to stand firm in the World Stone."

The progress in Purgatory difficulty was as slow as a snail. In his first attempt, Lin Zhen completed only 5% before being defeated and driven back by large groups of high-level Constant Star zombies.

Lin Zhen's interest was greatly aroused by this environment, and a new round of challenges began.

Time slowly passed, and another three months had gone by…

The challenge of the World Stone had attracted great attention from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

This particular World Stone had quite a background.

As it was well known, a World Stone was actually the inner world formed after the death of a Star World-Level expert.

The so-called Star World-Level experts were World Kings and the strongest forces in advanced cosmic nations. For example, in the Fire Kirin Empire, only Emperor Tian Haoyu was considered a Star World-Level expert.

A Star World-Level expert lived for unknown years, and their wealth and treasures were mostly left in the World Stone, a safer place than a space ring. Unless they died, no one could get it.

The owner of this World Stone was called Yama, and he had lived for millions of years but died in a struggle.

He practiced the power of darkness and was said to have set up the Yellow Springs ghost world within the World Stone, leaving all his possessions there.

The wealth inside the World Stone was so great that even World King-level experts would drool, let alone ordinary martial artists.

However, after the death of a World King, there was still an automatic repulsion force in the World Stone. If a Star System Stage or higher expert tried to enter forcefully, the ghost world and Yellow Springs inside would automatically collapse, and those who went in would get nothing.

In the Yellow Springs ghost world, a large number of ghosts left behind by Yama guarded the place. It was extremely dangerous for people below the Star System Stage to enter.

After the World Stone fell into the hands of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, several attempts had been made by people to collect Yama's treasures, but they usually died within.

Only one martial artist in the Black Hole Period managed to escape alive, and he revealed the general situation inside the World Stone.

After numerous studies, an agreement was reached among various parties to use the World Stone as a test for those going to the Fire Kirin Empire.

It was a kind of arena where people competed inside for three months. The one who came out with the most cosmic crystals was the winner.

The top twenty winners were eligible to join the camp for those under 100 years old in the Fire Kirin Empire.

Cosmic crystals were the basis of the biggest energy source in the universe, and they had a wide range of uses. However, they only appeared during the creation of a new world.

Apart from the expansion of the universe itself, these cosmic crystals could only be found inside the World Stone.

A small cosmic crystal, about the size of a soybean, was worth 100,000 Kirin Coins!

All the major powers wanted the cosmic crystals inside the World Stone, and as for Yama's other treasures, whoever found them kept them!

As time went by, contestants from all over Sanjiang Star Domain Federation had come to Hills Star, waiting for the start of the World Stone challenge.

At this time, Lin Zhen also absorbed metal for the tenth time and successfully advanced to Comet Level 8!
