Chapter 661: Chapter 663: Comprehension, Planet Fall! (Third Update)

Martial artists experience a profound state called Enlightenment.

This state is elusive and rarely sought after, often elusive when deliberately sought, yet appearing suddenly at unexpected moments.

Ever since Lin Zhen had mastered "Satellite Fall", he could face the World King with poise. However, despite his efforts, he had been unable to grasp the fourth move of the "Star Fall Five Skill", known as "Planet Fall".

However, ever since he had seen the descent of the Permanent Crystal Planet, Lin Zhen had a strong feeling that this was "Planet Fall"!

When "Planet Fall" is cast, even the Longevity Warriors must retreat. Even a powerful figure like Ning Qingxuan, can only use attrition tactics, slowly altering the planet's trajectory, incapable of directly withstanding the attack.

If he were able to cast "Planet Fall", his strength would soar, and within the struggle for the Divine Punishment Star, he would truly have a trump card.

Closing his eyes, previous scenes flickered before him like a movie.

The appearance of pressure, the rippling of space, the descent of the planet, and that unstoppable momentum stirred Lin Zhen's heart.

His palm lightly danced, tracing a profound trajectory, a scene forever etched in his mind.

Enlightenment often happens in the blink of an eye.

"I understand now. The fall of a planet signifies destruction. The planet itself will be destroyed, and everything it strikes will be destroyed."

"When martial artists attack, they subconsciously hold back, ensuring the stability of subsequent attacks and their own safety is not compromised."

"When you try to harm your enemy while ensuring your own safety, not only is it a common understanding among martial artists, but it is also a natural human instinct. However, it is this mindset that prevents him from unleashing "Planet Fall".

"If you want to destroy your enemy, you cannot fear destroying yourself. Without this realization, how can one cast "Planet Fall"!"

This moment of realization made Lin Zhen's heart as clear as a mirror. When he opened his eyes again, he had the essence of "Planet Fall" in his heart.

He even had a strong impulse to cast a spell, to see if he could really unleash this move.

He had two targets for his attack. One was Ning Qingxuan who was near exhaustion; the other was the unstoppable and enormous Permanent Crystal Planet.

"If I attack Ning Qingxuan now, she will undoubtedly die, and I will be completely safe. However, this does not align with the essence of "Planet Fall". How could I talk about self-destruction when facing someone I can kill with ease? Without this understanding, "Planet Fall" cannot be cast."

Lin Zhen's gaze settled on the massive planet that had by now flown far away. From his angle now, he couldn't see Ning Qingxuan's figure, only the constant descent of the planet.

From the faint tremors on the planet, Lin Zhen could feel that Ning Qingxuan was still persevering.

"Crown Princess… she is quite a good person, but unfortunately, she is my enemy."

At this moment, Lin Zhen had less than a minute until the effect of the Divine Power Pills wore off. His time was running out.

Not for Ning Qingxuan, nor for the inhabitants of the Original World. As Lin Zhen had said, this was Ning Qingxuan's homeland, not his. He didn't have the realization to sacrifice himself for these irrelevant people.

But if he did not strike while the iron is hot and use "Planet Fall" now, he did not know when he would have such an epiphany again. Perhaps there would never be such an opportunity.

That's why Lin Zhen moved.

"Double-headed Demon! Rampage with the fastest speed! Reach the side of the planet within fifty seconds!"

The Double-headed Demon dived madly, chasing after the huge planet.

Lin Zhen's Star Power, which had surged to more than eight million, had erupted entirely at this moment.

He didn't want to worry about what would happen later. The most important thing now was to master "Planet Fall". This was a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it!

Ning Qingxuan found everything in front of her beginning to blur.

She knew this was due to overexertion of Star Power, physical strength, and Spiritual Power. If she could not rest in time, her life would be in danger.

She hadn't felt this way in a very, very long time since entering the Longevity Realm.

Especially after strengthening her body, such cases hardly happened, as there were few people who could push her to this extreme.

But today was different. She was not battling against a person, but against a star!

A Permanent Crystal Star that was about to plunge into her homeland! If this star were to land, her homeland would be invaded.

A lot of thoughts crossed Ning Qingxuan's mind at this moment.

It wasn't the first time she had done this. She knew that the harder she tried, the more people would survive because of her effort.

However, the situation this time was too difficult. Even with her power, she could not completely avoid the disaster. Nonetheless, she had to exhaust every last bit of her strength.

From the moment she saw this Permanent Crystal Planet, she had taken into account the worst scenario.

She doesn't have much to reminisce about, nor anything to linger on. Liang Chen had grown up and didn't need her care. Her relationship with her fiancé, Liang Zhihuan, was more like acquainted strangers.

Her Master and fellows did not need her that much either.

Perhaps the only regret was that the jerk Lin Zhen had not received his deserved punishment. But at this moment, it didn't matter.

After more than ten minutes of intense bombardment, she successfully diverted this Permanent Crystal Planet's trajectory by several kilometers. This was her limit.

She doesn't have much Star Power left in her body anymore, not enough to continue launching such attacks.

Perhaps it was time for her to meet her end!

The Star Power surrounding her began to swell once again. Using the last of her strength, Ning Qingxuan was prepared to alter the trajectory of the Permanent Crystal Planet once more, even if it cost her life.

"If my life can save millions, there's no reason to cling onto this longevity."

With that thought in mind, her eyes moistened. Determined, Ning Qingxuan charged towards the Permanent Crystal Planet!

Finally, under the swift flight of the Double-headed Demon Dragon, Lin Zhen approached the side of the planet within fifty seconds.

Since it had already been decided to attack the Permanent Crystal Planet, Lin Zhen had no objections to doing some good deeds. He added a bit of force to the spot Ning Qingxuan had previously bombarded, hoping to save a few people in the process.

In front of this massive planet, Lin Zhen was like dust, utterly insignificant. However, even such a tiny body could unleash earth-shattering power!

With more than 8 million Star Power units at his disposal, Lin Zhen wasn't sure what would happen as he executed an unprecedented Planet Fall attack.

Each technique in the Star Fall Five Skill from the Ancient Classics could cause a monumental impact.

Just like Satellite Fall, each punch carried the force of a crashing satellite!

Lin Zhen's power was at its limit, and when the huge planet flew past him within a hundred miles and its edges were out of sight, he erupted!

There were less than ten seconds left for the effect of his Divine Power Elixir to end. He needed to act fast.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Zhen held the Broken Mountain Spear in both hands, channeled the mantra of the Star Fall Five Skill in his mind, and launched an attack!

The Double-headed Demon Dragon had returned to Dark Star Space, and for a moment, Lin Zhen became a shining star!

The sharp point of the Broken Mountain Spear was the brightest point of this star, and his body suddenly accelerated to its limit!

Bang~!

The Wind Thunder Wings exploded at this moment, providing additional speed to Lin Zhen!

There was no atmosphere in Cosmic Space, but the tip of his spear ignited!

This was a phenomenon that only occurred when an object approached the speed of light and rubbed against the dark matter in space!

At this moment, he didn't care if he would die. Even if he did, he was going to deliver this strike!

He was prepared to self-destruct if it meant executing Planet Fall!

The starlight on the spear tip flashed, condensing nearly all of Lin Zhen's power. Bursting through the space with a brilliance that lit up the starry sky, it shot towards the Permanent Crystal Planet with a long tail trailing behind!

From a distance, it looked like a massive meteor in Cosmic Space, approaching the Permanent Crystal Planet in a suicidal attack!

From a meteor, it evolved into a comet in transit, and from a comet, it transformed into a speeding satellite!

Lin Zhen's Star Power was burning like crazy. The single strike of Planet Fall consumed a whopping five million units of Star Power!

Unlike Ning Qingxuan's continuous attacks, Lin Zhen's attack was one-off. After this strike, he would be exhausted.

The satellite transformed again mid-flight, growing larger and larger! The starlight in the sky surged like a nuclear explosion!

"Come on! You're a planet, and so am I. Even if you're a behemoth, I can still shake you!"

The two planets finally collided!

Just a hundred meters away from the Permanent Crystal Planet, Lin Zhen thrust his spear forward!

The power amassed during this charge was released in this single moment!

If there was an image to describe this scene, perhaps a thousand nuclear bombs exploding together might be able to illustrate the scenario!

The earth-shattering explosion formed a powerful shockwave. Not only was Lin Zhen sent flying, spewing blood, but the colossal Permanent Crystal Planet also got knocked back a whole kilometer by his powerful strike!

The rolling shockwave spread out like a tide, pushing Lin Zhen away and also pushing away another person who had been intent on crashing into the planet.

Lin Zhen could only see stars, his ears were buzzing, and his limbs were soft.

The weak period of the Divine Power Pill had arrived.

But he was filled with joy because his comprehension became reality in the blink of an eye; he had truly grasped the essence of Planet Fall!

It was all worth it! Everything was worth it!

He felt severely weak. His Star Power was automatically expelled from his body due to the side effects of the Divine Power Pill which reduced his Star Power from over 8 million to only 1.68 million, a decrease of forty percent.

Such a drastic change made others feel that Lin Zhen was on the brink of death.

Just as Lin Zhen was struggling to summon the Double-headed Demon Dragon to make his escape, a Green Edge Sword was silently placed against his throat.

"Why did you save me?" Ning Qingxuan's voice was weak and cold as it came from behind him.

Instinctively Lin Zhen wanted to retort, 'Why would I want to save you, and how did you get here?' But he swallowed his words and instead released a woebegone smile, "I always thought I was a selfish person. But now, I realized that some things in the heart can't be defied. It's not about standing tall, but about having no regrets. Crown Princess, do what you must."

Chapter 662: Chapter 664: Devoured Together

Lin Zhen was gambling, betting that the Crown Princess would show mercy because he had saved her once before.

Moreover, his words were ambiguous. Although it seemed like he was letting the Crown Princess do whatever she wanted, careful consideration of Lin Zhen's words revealed many factors that were difficult to understand.

He could clearly feel that the Crown Princess's hand was trembling. In her heart, she might want to get rid of Lin Zhen, but after all, he had just saved her, and she couldn't bring herself to do so.

But at the moment of her hesitation, something terrifying happened!

Lin Zhen's Star Fall smashed the Permanent Crystal Planet open, but at the tail of the planet, it tore open a long spatial crack!

The planet swerved suddenly, the crack was swung around like a tail!

The giant crack enveloped Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan. At this moment, both of them were nearing exhaustion, with Ning Qingxuan being forced to nearly self-destruct, and Lin Zhen having exhausted all his Star Power, entering his Weak Period, and unable to evade!

The crack was like a giant beast devouring everything, swallowing both of them in one bite!

Lin Zhen did not like the feeling of not being in control of his body. Instinctively, he wanted to grab onto something; in the moment just before entering the crack, he grabbed a soft little hand!

Ning Qingxuan was also stunned by this change. After Lin Zhen grabbed her hand, she instinctively gripped back forcefully!

Both of them moved closer to each other without any agreement, embraced each other, and were swallowed by the crack!

Then, a storm of Energy swept through the sky.

The space of the Original World was extremely stable. Apart from tearing space apart when Lin Zhen used his Star Fall earlier, he hadn't caused any damage to the Original World's space at any other time.

The spatial crack disappeared quickly, as if it had never appeared here.

Only a giant Permanent Crystal Planet, which had deviated from its course by almost a kilometer after being hit by Ning Qingxuan and Lin Zhen, continued to fly towards the ground.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Great news, great news!"

In the void, in a carriage pulled by eight Divine eagles, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan received a report from his subordinate.

"Speak, what news?"

"According to our observation instrument, just now, the Permanent Crystal Planet's orbit has deviated, deviating a whole ten kilometers. So now, we also need to make some adjustments to our current route."

"Oh! It deviated by ten kilometers?"

"Yes, there is no mistake. Your Highness, with this ten-kilometer deviation, if we continue to intercept it halfway, we might really have a chance to completely send this planet outside the capital of Nan Liang Country. Our capital city will be saved!"

Upon hearing the report and seeing the images sent from the other party, the Crown Prince finally relaxed his furrowed brow.

Several Longevity Warriors who accompanied him also celebrated together hearing this news.

No matter the reason, the planet had finally deviated, which was great news. The capital of Nan Liang was saved, and their mission could be completed.

They happily celebrated for a while before the Crown Prince continued asking, "Have you found out what caused the planet to deviate?"

"Well, the impact is somewhat unclear, but according to some images, it seems that two people made a move and shook the Permanent Crystal Planet, causing it to deviate."

"Oh! There was such a thing. Then hurry up and continue investigating, find out who these two unknown heroes are, and there will be great rewards from this Prince."

The Crown Prince was in a great mood, not expecting that there were still experts in Nan Liang helping the court. Such subjects were extremely rare, and he had to find them and express his gratitude, even if they were recluses.

He opened the Dimensional Universe screen, sharing it with the Longevity Warriors in the carriage.

Messages from the detectors kept coming, all about what had happened near the Permanent Crystal Planet before.

The technology of the Original World was not more advanced than the New World, and Nan Liang's technology was weak. The images were somewhat intermittent and unclear.

"Quickly solve the problem with the clarity of the image and zoom in a little. I haven't even found these two heroes yet."

The Crown Prince became anxious, and his subordinates began to solve the problem immediately.

A group of technical experts worked for a while before finally allowing the Crown Prince to see the figures on the screen.

The Crown Prince and a group of Longevity Warriors gathered in front of the screen to watch carefully.

The image duration was not very long, and on the screen, it started with two people fighting.

"What's going on? Are people fighting?"

But the image was too unclear for them to even distinguish who the two people were, or whether they were male or female.

"These two people have good strength. They can fight so fiercely in the void, they must be at least at the level of Peak World King, right?"

"I don't think so; Peak World King would have a hard time creating such a scene. Especially the one with the sword, who's at least a Longevity Realm warrior. The one with the spear or staff… is at least a Peak World King, or even possibly a Longevity Warrior."

"Li Lao's analysis is correct. It seems that these two Longevity Warriors were dueling or practicing their skills here. But when they saw the incoming planet, they set aside their grievances and joined forces to help us solve this major problem!"

However, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan furrowed his brows slightly. He couldn't see the two fighters clearly, but the one wielding the sword seemed to be a woman with swirling robes, even though it was just a vague image.

"A woman…in the Longevity Realm…fighting with someone…" he muttered in confusion.

Then, the scene shifted, and the enormous Permanent Crystal Planet flew over. The battle between the two came to a halt.

The gun-wielding Martial Artist withdrew, while the sword-wielding one began to attack the planet one slash at a time, attempting to knock it off course and away from their path.

The process seemed skilled and well-practiced, indicating that this person had done this kind of thing before.

The attack lasted for over ten minutes, its intensity making even the Longevity Experts feel inferior.

"This sword-wielding warrior is almost as strong as the Crown Princess!"

The Crown Princess, having refined her Divine Body, was stronger than any Longevity Realm warriors and was widely acknowledged.

However, the Crown Prince's expression grew increasingly sullen, his lips pursed in silence, and he had an ominous feeling in his heart.

After a while, the sword-wielding warrior could hardly carry on. She flared up with Star Power, seemingly trying to use her last strength to shake the planet. The Warriors present were all moved by her noble spirit and determination.

"There are still people with such integrity and spirit among ordinary folk? This is truly incredible!"

"Who exactly is this person? Is she going to die? Your Highness, we must get to the bottom of this matter and not let this hero's sacrifice be in vain!"

An annoyed Longevity Warrior said, "What kind of image is this? We can't see anything clearly! Your Highness, why don't we buy a new operating system from the Da Liang Empire? They can send it to us in just a few minutes for a price, and then we'll be able to see the faces of these heroes."

The Crown Prince was known for his frugality and resourcefulness and always tried to save wherever possible. The Longevity Warrior hadn't expected him to approve the purchase so decisively. "Buy it! Buy it now! We must get to the bottom of this matter!"

Soon, someone went to make arrangements while the others continued to watch.

At this critical moment, the gun-wielding warrior finally took action.

His previous performance hadn't seemed particularly remarkable, but this attack left everyone dumbfounded.

This strike could only be described as earth-shattering. He transformed into a planet falling from the sky, appearing no weaker than the Permanent Crystal Planet, and collided with it while carrying the momentum to destroy everything.

Due to this attack, the already off-course planet deviated further and moved to its current position.

The warriors couldn't help but clap for the two heroes, eagerly anticipating the moment when the new system would arrive and reveal their true faces.

"Your Highness, we've received the new system. Please pause the video, and we'll install it right now."

The scene froze at this moment as they began the tedious process of installing the new system.

Under the watchful eye of the Crown Prince, the installation went quickly, and it was soon complete.

It had to be said that the Da Liang Empire's technology was far superior to that of Nan Liang. Once the new system was installed, the image clarity improved dramatically.

"Ah, I can see clearly now! It's a man and a woman – the man has the gun, and the woman has the sword."

"I bet they're a couple who had a disagreement. Didn't you see the woman chasing the man and attacking him relentlessly while he barely fought back? Now that they see the incoming planet, they've joined forces again."

"Sigh, what kind of argument is worth getting physical over? They are both such noble people, and I truly hope they find happiness together…."

At this moment, the Crown Prince suddenly shouted, "Enough! You're all so annoying! Continue watching and don't say a word."

The Longevity Warriors were taken aback and closed their mouths, unsure as to why the prince had become so angry.

On the screen, the scene shifted again. The woman seemed to be holding her sword to the man's throat, saying something. The man, however, said something that made the woman's body tremble slightly, as if she were hesitating, excited, and unsure all at once.

Then, the horrifying situation ensued. The space fissure brought forth by the Permanent Crystal Planet swept right over them.

The man and woman pulled their hands together and embraced tightly as they were swallowed by the space fissure.

The Longevity Warriors were shocked silent.

"Rewind the footage, zoom in! I want to see who these two people are."

The video quickly rewound, and the camera zoomed forward, gradually revealing the true faces of the man and woman.

As the space fissure approached, the man and woman held hands, and the woman leaned into the man's arms. At this moment, her face came into clear view.

The Crown Princess!

This time, no one dared to speak out. Instead, one after another, they gasped in shock as the sound echoed within the vehicle.

Chapter 663: Chapter 665: Inside the Spatial Turbulence

Spatial Turbulence raged around them, but Lin Zhen wasn't too afraid.

The so-called Spatial Turbulence was a combination of all energy elements and the dark energy in the universe, which could inflict lethal damage to almost every life with its high-speed impact.

But Lin Zhen wasn't afraid because he had cultivated all elemental energy long ago.

Moreover, Lin Zhen had cultivated each of the elemental energies to the extreme point, comprehending the power of the atom.

It was precisely because of this that the elemental energy couldn't cause lethal damage to Lin Zhen. Only the impact carried by the Dark Energy made him somewhat painful, requiring a shield for protection.

This shield needed to be made up of all elemental energies to ensure it wouldn't be broken within the Spatial Turbulence, but it required a significant amount of Star Power to sustain it.

However, Ning Qingxuan, who was nearby, didn't have such abilities. Although she was a Longevity Realm Martial Artist, she couldn't cultivate all the energy elements. The onslaught of Spatial Turbulence made Ning Qingxuan painfully resistant.

Both of them had lost control of their bodies, traversing the boundless Spatial Turbulence. The only thing they could hold on to was each other.

Lin Zhen's tall body embraced Ning Qingxuan. At this point, he couldn't easily let her go. Although this woman wanted to kill him, her character was still somewhat admirable to Lin Zhen.

He released the energy elements from his body, combined them with his Spiritual Power, and formed a protective shield to block the Spatial Turbulence as much as possible.

Although the powerful impact still made him uncomfortable, at least both of them didn't have to die.

After the initial panic, Ning Qingxuan noticed Lin Zhen's actions.

Her small white jade hands pressed against Lin Zhen's chest. Lin Zhen's firm chest made her feel suffocated, and more so, it was the emotional chaos within her. She couldn't accept that they were embracing each other when just moments ago they had been mortal enemies.

Lin Zhen saw Ning Qingxuan trying to break free and shouted in her ear, "Crown Princess, this is a crucial moment for our lives! I lack Star Power, so you better release yours to prevent my shield from breaking. Otherwise, when my power is exhausted, I'll die too. And you won't last even a minute without me!"

"I'd rather die than be with you!" Ning Qingxuan struggled with a flushed face.

"Enough! Great achievements come from overcoming small obstacles. You managed to advance to the Longevity Realm at such a young age. How much effort did your sect, family, and friends put in for this? Should it just be given up on so easily? Stupid!"

Ning Qingxuan was taken aback, her struggling movements somewhat halted.

"I know you want to kill me, but you can do it after we reach a safe place. Do you really want to die together with me? Is it just because I kissed you once? Whether it's one kiss or ten, if you keep struggling like this, I'll…"

Lin Zhen puckered his lips, quickly approaching Ning Qingxuan's red lips.

Ning Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise. Given the situation, her Star Power was almost exhausted, and her physical strength was no match for Lin Zhen, making it impossible for her to avoid his advances.

Frightened, she shut her eyes tightly, pursed her lips, and forcefully turned her head away.

But Lin Zhen's lips didn't land on her as he only wanted Ning Qingxuan to cooperate a little.

After a while with no movement, Ning Qingxuan slowly opened her eyes, only to see Lin Zhen's forehead covered in sweat. To maintain the defense, Lin Zhen had to continuously consume Star Power without time for recovery. He wouldn't be able to hold it for very long.

Her determination to kill Lin Zhen finally wavered a little.

Though the man before her was somewhat annoying, he didn't seem to be inherently evil.

Of course, this didn't mean Ning Qingxuan could forgive Lin Zhen's actions. Rather, it was an urgent situation, and now the two were relying on each other for survival. Neither could survive without the other.

"Stop staring. Maintaining my shield requires Star Power. You should release your Star Power into it, allowing me to rest for a while, as I'm too weak right now."

Ning Qingxuan didn't say anything, but her Star Power was quietly released, injecting new strength into Lin Zhen's protective shield.

With Ning Qingxuan's support, Lin Zhen finally didn't have to endure such pressure, gaining a rare opportunity to breathe.

But once he stopped, he realized just how enchanting the soft body in his arms was.

The slender waist his arm encircled seemed to be less than a handful, while her chest filled with soft elasticity pressed against his own, making him somewhat restless.

Plus the pure and gentle face before him, Lin Zhen couldn't help but silently admit she was a peerless beauty.

No wonder the Crown Prince still pursued Ning Qingxuan despite what had happened. Among all the women Lin Zhen had ever seen, she was the only one comparable to Little Phoenix.

After a while, it seemed that Ning Qingxuan sensed Lin Zhen's burning gaze. Her face flushed, and she glared at Lin Zhen before attempting to put some distance between them.

But in their embrace, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't separate them.

Lin Zhen felt that it was somewhat inappropriate and slowly closed his eyes without looking at her, focusing on recovering his strength.

A few minutes later, the soft body in his arms began to heat up, and Lin Zhen knew she was reaching her limit.

Opening his eyes, he saw Ning Qingxuan drenched in sweat, her face pale.

"You take a break; I'll take over!"

Lin Zhen replenished the Star Power, allowing Ning Qingxuan to rest.

With her still struggling to maintain distance from him even in her exhausted state, Lin Zhen decided to press her against his chest, "Just lean here honestly for a while. I'm not taking advantage of you. If you don't recover well, and I can't hold on any longer, we'll both end up dead."

At this point, Ning Qingxuan seemed to have somewhat come to terms with the situation. She closed her eyes and leaned her head on Lin Zhen's chest, a position that was indeed more conducive to recovery.

However, from Lin Zhen's perspective, the slightly transparent red earlobe revealed that its owner's inner turmoil was far from calm.

Lin Zhen knew she was embarrassed, so he didn't say anything but silently released his Star Power to resist the invasion of the Spatial Turbulence.

It was fortunate that Ning Qingxuan was with him; otherwise, Lin Zhen would not have been able to survive here once his Star Power was exhausted.

As a Longevity Realm Martial Artist, Ning Qingxuan wasn't as weak as Lin Zhen, and her recovery speed was even faster than his. After about ten minutes, she took over the task of supporting the protective shield.

In this way, the two of them took turns supporting the shield, and their cooperation became increasingly tacit.

Since they were in such a situation, Ning Qingxuan had no choice but to accept the temporary comfort of leaning on Lin Zhen's embrace, albeit reluctantly.

However, over time, the initial tension between them gradually dissipated…

Inside the carriage pulled by the Divine eagle, it was as if a thunderstorm was about to erupt.

People were all anxiously watching the Crown Prince. As People of Nan Liang, everyone knew how deeply the Crown Prince loved the Crown Princess.

Counting their ages, the Crown Prince was two thousand years older than the Crown Princess.

Initially, the Crown Prince had been diligently cultivating, receiving the Emperor's focused nurturing, and finally breaking through to the Longevity Realm at the age of two thousand.

In his heart, the Crown Prince had planned to consider marriage only after reaching the Longevity Realm.

At the beginning, there was a girl who was betrothed to the Crown Prince from a young age. He married her when he entered the Longevity realm.

That girl was originally planned to become the queen by the old emperor.

However, just after the Crown Prince advanced to the Longevity Realm, he went out for a stroll and met Ning Qingxuan, who was still a little girl back then.

At such a young age, she had unparalleled talent and was already showing signs of breathtaking beauty. Quite bafflingly, she captured the heart of the Crown Prince.

From that day on, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan announced that he would definitely marry Ning Qingxuan in the future and reserved the position of queen for her forever.

However, the Qingye Sect, which wanted to train Ning Qingxuan, poured cold water on the Crown Prince's plan, saying that she wouldn't marry anyone before entering the Longevity Realm.

But Liang Zhihuan told the Qingye Sect that he was willing to wait. As Longevity Experts, they had plenty of time. He would wait for Ning Qingxuan to grow up and advance to the Longevity Realm, then they could spend their lives together.

That's how their engagement was decided.

After that, the Crown Prince did well. Besides the girl with whom he had been betrothed, he married no other women.

That concubine was also unfortunate. She only had one child with the Crown Prince after being married for several hundred years. After giving birth to the child, she died, leaving Liang Chen as their only son.

It was essentially Ning Qingxuan who raised Liang Chen.

However, after Ning Qingxuan reached the Longevity Realm and before she married the Crown Prince, the Hua Hua Taisui incident occurred.

This incident could be considered a scandal. The entire Nan Liang knew about the Crown Princess – her beauty surpassing even flowers.

Because of this, the Crown Prince made a decision.

He would wait again until most of the people who knew about the incident died, and after he had dealt with Hua Hua Taisui, then, he would finally hold their wedding.

Ning Qingxuan was indifferent to this decision and agreed to it.

This series of events showed the Crown Prince's love for the Crown Princess, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

Although the Crown Princess had been photographed bathing before, she was still wearing some clothes, revealing only her figure and nothing else. However, this time was different – she was actually being held in someone's arms!

The Crown Princess, whom the Crown Prince regarded as a forbidden treasure and didn't allow other men to glance at her, was tightly held by another man. Although the incident happened abruptly, it was something the Crown Prince couldn't bear!

Moreover, Liang Zhihuan had no way to deal with it right now, as the Crown Princess had entered the Spatial Turbulence with someone else, leaving him with nowhere to look for her.

The carriage was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and the Crown Prince seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Everyone in their hearts hoped that the Crown Prince wouldn't lose his temper rashly since the Crown Princess was in such a precarious situation.

Liang Chen took a few deep breaths, "Find out who that man is! Try to connect to his Dimensional Universe. Someone had once predicted the Crown Princess's fortune, and she has the face of great wealth and nobility. She definitely won't fall halfway."

Saying this, he turned to everyone present, "Today's events must be kept secret. I don't want to hear any gossip outside. Otherwise, even if I have to mobilize an entire nation, I won't let the person who spread the rumors live!"

Everyone nodded their heads, thinking this would be for the best.

The Crown Prince looked at the new system once more, his tone cold enough to freeze water, "Get this thing out of my sight! I never want to see it again!"

Chapter 664: Chapter 666: This is Lin Zhen's Little Tree (Third Update)

Lin Zhen's days of suffering and seduction didn't last long.

He knew that this situation was only temporary because it happened so suddenly, and once they reached a safe place, the relationship between the two might change again.

However, he still hoped to end this state sooner because if it continued, neither of them could withstand it for long.

It was probably three or four days later that an opportunity arose.

The Spatial Turbulence was a dangerous place, but also a wondrous one.

There was no distance in time and space here; it might exist forever, or in the next second, you might be in an unknown world.

This time, thanks to Ning Qingxuan, who tried to avoid embarrassment by focusing on other things, she saw a black dot wandering towards them when Lin Zhen released his Star Power!

As a Longevity Warrior, she could clearly feel the Spatial Power contained within!

It was a Spatial Fragment!

If they got close to this Spatial Fragment, they might end up in a different place, but wherever they went, it would be better than being in this boundless Spatial Rift.

"Go there!"

With Ning Qingxuan's reminder, Lin Zhen's eyes lit up, and the two of them began to use their remaining Star Power to move forward through the Space Storm.

Fame does not come without effort. When they were almost exhausted from the journey, they finally reached the side of the black dot.

They both leaped with all their might, and the next thing they knew, they were in another space!

Their surroundings were changing, and the next second, they both fell to the ground.

Lin Zhen raised his head and looked around.

This was not a very large space, with a diameter of about a few hundred meters, and at the center of this space was a small hill.

Atop the hill, there seemed to be a light source, preventing the space from being too dark.

Ning Qingxuan finally got some relief and moved away from Lin Zhen as if avoiding a plague. She stood up and swept the entire space with her powerful Spiritual Power.

"This is a broken space. I don't know where it belongs. There are only the two of us as living beings."

Lin Zhen, who had already passed his Weak Period from taking the Divine Power Pills, stood up and looked around for a while: "That's not necessarily true. Plants also count as life forms."

Ning Qingxuan's gaze fell on Lin Zhen, as her eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

"Crown Princess, we are both in distress now, like two grasshoppers on the same string. Are you still determined to kill me?"

Ning Qingxuan didn't let Lin Zhen off with his words; she slowly put her palm on her sword: "You tell me first, who are you? Are you Lin Zhen or Hua Hua Taisui?"

Lin Zhen knew that if he fought Ning Qingxuan in this space, he would definitely not be her opponent. So he didn't resist and just stood there calmly: "I have wanted to tell you this for a long time, but you never gave me the opportunity. I am Lin Zhen, not Hua Hua Taisui."

"You're lying! Lin Zhen is your Avatar, and your real body is Hua Hua Taisui, right?"

Lin Zhen quickly shook his head: "Absolutely not. In fact, Hua Hua Taisui is already dead. His body was turned into my Avatar. Crown Princess, I know Hua Hua Taisui has done some unforgivable things, but you can't hold me responsible for that. In a way, I have helped you avenge yourself."

"You killed Hua Hua Taisui?" Ning Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, not expecting this outcome.

"Of course. You are a Longevity Warrior, with vast powers. You can carefully sense who is the Avatar and who is the real body between us. "

So saying, Lin Zhen brought out Hua Hua Taisui's Avatar and stood side by side with it.

After removing his thoughts completely from Hua Hua Taisui's Avatar, Hua Hua Taisui, who lost his soul, became a wooden stake, standing there blankly and motionless.

Ning Qingxuan's Spiritual Power swept over and immediately distinguished between the real and the fake.

Lin Zhen quickly put away his Avatar, worrying that Ning Qingxuan would impulsively slaughter the Avatar, which would cost him a great helper and a source of Star Power.

Without the Avatar, Lin Zhen wouldn't stand a chance against Ning Qingxuan.

Ning Qingxuan stood for a while, and Lin Zhen felt that her killing intent had diminished. His heart became a little more at ease

"Even if you're not Hua Hua Taisui, you…in the bathhouse… "

Lin Zhen hurriedly explained: "Crown Princess, you can't entirely blame me for that, can you? You didn't give me a chance, and you just started yelling and fighting as soon as you saw me. Isn't it unfair to only allow you to attack me and not allow me to fight back? Killing people in a martial arts fight is very common; my methods couldn't be considered too excessive."

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's rebuttal, Ning Qingxuan realized her actions were somewhat impulsive.

She's not an unreasonable person, and besides, Lin Zhen had saved her once before.

Letting go of her sword, Ning Qingxuan said to Lin Zhen: "You killed Hua Hua Taisui and saved me once, but you also humiliated me twice. Let's consider our debts and grievances settled. From now on, we shall have no further contact!"

With that, Ning Qingxuan turned and walked away, heading straight for the top of the hill.

Lin Zhen shrugged his shoulders. He could see that Ning Qingxuan was still somewhat angry with him, but as long as she didn't call for his death, at least he would be safe.

Lin Zhen looked around and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the radiant light on the mountaintop, Lin Zhen tidied up his somewhat messy clothes and followed the Crown Princess to the top of the mountain.

The surrounding space was shrouded in a misty haze, with only a bit of brightness at the top of the mountain.

Atop the mountain, a tree grew.

The tree was not very big, about five or six meters tall, but it had already reached the top of the space and could not grow any further, with a thickness less than one person.

It could also be said that it wasn't as thick as Lin Zhen, but it was definitely thicker than Ning Qingxuan.

As the two stood beneath the tree, they looked up at its top, where the bright light was coming from.

The tree was densely covered with brilliant flowers.

Above those flowers, egg-sized Star Crystals with a dazzling glow floated slightly. Amidst the darkness, they appeared so beautiful that they seemed almost unreal.

"Wow! What kind of flowers are these? They're so beautiful!"

Ning Qingxuan's first concern was, surprisingly, the flowers, which left Lin Zhen somewhat speechless.

However, her attention soon shifted to the Star Crystals.

With her stunning face close to the Star Crystals, Ning Qingxuan carefully observed them for a while, then slowly said, "Born from the essence of heaven and earth, nourished by the spiritual qi of space, these star-like fruits possess extraordinary power."

Lin Zhen arrived beneath the tree, pulled down a slightly curved branch, and looked closely.

Star Crystals were not new to Lin Zhen, as his Star Fruit Tree was covered with them.

However, the growth of those Star Crystals was limited, and they could only produce fruits that Constant Star Period Martial Artists could absorb. They were of no use to Lin Zhen, who had reached the Domain King level.

But the Star Crystals on this little tree were different. The ones densely packed here had stronger energy.

Within the smallest Star Crystals, there was Star Power comparable to that of Star System Stage Juyuan Powder!

These were for Star System Period Martial Artists to consume.

Some of the medium-sized ones contained Star Domain Stage Juyuan Powder's Star Power, which could be used by Domain King level Martial Artists.

Even some larger ones held Star Realm Stage Juyuan Powder's Star Power, suitable for World Kings to consume.

Aside from those three types, there were some large Star Crystals that held power that Lin Zhen had never seen before, which were for Longevity Warriors to consume!

Furthermore, some exceptionally large Star Crystals contained astonishing Star Power that even caught Lin Zhen off guard.

"These are true treasures. Each Star Crystal has the effect of an elixir, and these Star Crystals have absolutely no side effects. Consuming them is even more convenient than using elixirs. I can't even imagine how much this tree's Star Crystals are worth."

Seeing the tree full of fruits, Lin Zhen's heart was moved. He could not let this tree remain here. He needed to give it a better environment and move it to the Dark Star Space.

With this thing, he wouldn't have to worry about not having elixirs in the future.

Thinking this, Lin Zhen stepped forward, wanting to pick a Star Crystal and see for himself.

However, at that moment, Ning Qingxuan suddenly stood in front of Lin Zhen: "What are you doing?"

"I want to pick a Star Crystal!" said Lin Zhen.

"That's not allowed. I saw these things first. First come, first served. You should understand that rule, right? Have you asked for my permission as the owner?"

In Lin Zhen's impression, Ning Qingxuan was a beautiful, yet rather stern and somewhat rigid woman. However, at this moment, he saw a hint of mischief in her beautiful eyes.

Ning Qingxuan was still angry at Lin Zhen because he had taken advantage of her. Although Lin Zhen had saved her, she couldn't bring herself to attack him. Nevertheless, in this small space with just the two of them, her girlish nature was somewhat unleashed, and she wanted to give Lin Zhen a hard time to vent her anger.

Seeing this side of Ning Qingxuan, a hint of a smile appeared on Lin Zhen's face. This version of the Crown Princess seemed much more lively.

However, Lin Zhen didn't intend to let her get what she wanted easily and asked, "Crown Princess, are you sure that these things belong to whoever sees them first?"

"Yes, first come, first served. These are mine!" said Ning Qingxuan happily.

"Then, Crown Princess, please take a closer look. This tree is mine. You'd better not stand in my shade."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ning Qingxuan looked back in confusion, following Lin Zhen's pointing direction.

With one glance, she immediately wore an expression as if she'd seen a ghost.

She was a Longevity Warrior and a strong one at that. She had enough confidence to know that Lin Zhen couldn't possibly pull any tricks under her watch.

Yet, on the trunk of that little tree, there was a line of somewhat blurred but still legible handwriting.

"Lin Zhen's Little Tree!"

Chapter 665: Chapter 667: Farewell to the Space-time Wandering Flower

Lin Zhen had to admit that this cosmic space was full of coincidences, and things were just that magical.

When he arrived in this space, he immediately realized where he was.

This wandering space was the one he had entered in Earth's God Generals Training Camp during his time in the Star Fruit Tree.

He still remembered the star crystals on this tree and the Space-time Wandering Flower back then.

When Lin Zhen left this space back then, he had even carved the words "Lin Zhen's Little Tree" on the tree trunk.

Perhaps this could be called destiny. Unexpectedly, he entered this space again amid the spatial turbulence.

A thousand years had passed, and there were no other changes in this space except that the little tree had grown a lot. Lin Zhen didn't know what opportunities this space had encountered in these thousand years, but the blossoms that were once on the tree now displayed even more brilliant Star Crystals.

Lin Zhen never thought that the random characters he had carved back then could be used as a weapon to counterattack Ning Qingxuan.

Ning Qingxuan lowered her head and stared at the words on the tree trunk, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? When did you carve this?"

"A long, long time ago. Crown Princess, I told you this is my territory, but you didn't believe me. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, what do you have to say?"

Ning Qingxuan glared at Lin Zhen for a while, blinked a few times, and felt a strange sense of grievance in her heart.

As a Longevity Realm Martial Artist, she was constantly suppressed by the man in front of her, unable to take revenge after being taken advantage of. Now they were in a strange space, and it was still his territory.

The most hateful thing was that she had already said too much on her own, and now it was a little difficult for her to back down.

Was she really going to find a hidden corner and give this place to Lin Zhen?

Her long eyelashes drooped listlessly, like her current mood. She struggled to move her feet.

Lin Zhen did not have any intention of stopping Ning Qingxuan. He casually sat down under the tree.

Ning Qingxuan turned to look at him, snorted coldly, and hurried away from the tree.

But this space was only so large. Ning Qingxuan couldn't go far, so she stopped not far away on another small mound, about twenty or thirty meters away from Lin Zhen.

After struggling in the spatial turbulence for several days, both of them were extremely weak and tired. Ning Qingxuan immediately began to sit and recover on the spot when she arrived there.

Lin Zhen was relatively better off. Having passed the weak period of the Divine Power Pills, he could still hold on.

Instead of choosing to rest immediately, Lin Zhen came to the tree and looked for the Space-time Wandering Flower he had encountered before.

The Space-time Wandering Flower was the most special star crystal on the tree. Lin Zhen had obtained his space power from here before.

After searching for a while, Lin Zhen saw a floating star crystal amongst several huge Star Crystals.

This star crystal was not large, but its colors were different from the other star crystals.

The star crystal was light green, with strands of silver light swirling within. Lin Zhen gently brought his fingers close and felt the hairs on his fingers stand slightly, sensing the energy of the Thunder and Lightning Element.

"There is space power and thunder and lightning element. After a thousand years, this Space-time Wandering Flower has finally grown a new flower."

"I still remember that after I picked the special stargem back then, this space was on the verge of collapse. But as long as this tree is here, it won't actually collapse. The long-term wandering in space will instead give birth to something miraculous."

Lin Zhen's Thunder and Lightning Element had already comprehended the power of atoms, but his previous thunder and lightning seemed like a toy in front of the power inside this star crystal.

"Chris, can you help me look up information about thunder and lightning?"

Chris immediately responded.

"Master, this place is not within the scope of the Original World. You are currently in a space-time rift, so the Dimensional Universe's signal does not cover this place."

"So, I can't access the information." Lin Zhen was somewhat disappointed.

"For ordinary intelligent life, they certainly would not be able to access it. But I am different. Under your careful nurturing, Master, your intelligent life has long become an independent super life form. I have stored a lot of information in my own space. Even without the signal from the Dimensional Universe, I can find countless things."

"Then quickly help me see what's going on with this thunder and lightning."

Chris checked for a while, then told Lin Zhen, "Master, there is no record of this kind of thunder and lightning in the Dimensional Universe's database, but there is something similar."

"Tell me about it."

"Alright, according to my investigation, this kind of lightning should belong to the initial form of thunderlight. The lightning we see in rainy days is called rain thunder. Some Martial Artists can emit lightning with powerful effects to ward off evil, which is called Divine Thunder for Warding off Evil. Some are purely for killing, called Palm Thunder. Some Martial Artists have even mastered the lightning from the creation of the world, called Purple Heaven Divine Thunder."

"But this kind of lightning is obviously not any one of them. Strictly speaking, this lightning is more advanced, pure, and without attributes. Such thunderlight is extremely rare. If the master can make good use of it, it would be of infinite benefits to you."

"Oh! What kind of benefits will there be?"

"Speed! Space Power! And massive damage. Master, if you can control it, your speed will be substantially improved, which will be of great help in battles. Moreover, the Space Power contained within this Star Crystal is almost fused with the thunderlight. If the master can obtain this Space Power, you can make unlimited use of it, such as long-range teleportation."

"Finally, the destructive power depends on you, Master. I can tell you a method. Lightning is the most domineering elemental energy, and the master should activate its strongest characteristic, a process called nurturing. What kind of thunderlight you nurture it to be, that's what it will be. This is unique to you."

Lin Zhen nodded, listening to Chris's introduction, this kind of thunderlight was indeed precious, and he must make good use of it.

Looking up at the tree full of Star Crystals, Lin Zhen was secretly excited in his heart. Although he couldn't leave this space for the time being, cultivating here would undoubtedly be much faster.

It is still more than two years before the Divine Punishment Star will open. He hopes to find a way to leave this place within this time.

Just as he was about to pick the Special Stargem, Lin Zhen saw Ning Qingxuan not far away.

The beautiful woman didn't know when she had already lain on the mound, eyes slightly closed, breathing evenly, and had actually fallen asleep.

"Hehe! Although she is a Longevity Warrior, her alertness is too poor. She's just a flower raised in a greenhouse. If I suddenly attack her now, would she still be alive?"

Lin Zhen shook his head, muttered a few words to himself, and then came to Ning Qingxuan's side.

After searching in his Space Ring, Lin Zhen took out a few items.

A purple blanket, Lin Zhen spread it on the ground, then used his Spiritual Power to silently lift Ning Qingxuan's body in mid-air and gently placed her on the blanket.

He had plenty of pillows and blankets in the Space Ring. After years of killing and collecting spoils, he had enough items in his Space Ring to open a department store.

Like taking care of a child, Lin Zhen covered Ning Qingxuan with a blanket and then gently touched her long hair, "I know a lot about you and the things you've been through. You're just a pitiful girl. If possible, I really hope to give you some warmth and be your best friend."

After saying that, Lin Zhen returned to his own territory to start cultivating.

Just as Lin Zhen left, Ning Qingxuan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She pretended to be asleep to see what Lin Zhen would do. If Lin Zhen tried to take advantage of her, she would definitely not tolerate him and would resort to killing instead.

But she never expected Lin Zhen to take care of her so well, not only laying her down gently but also revealing his heartfelt words.

This made Ning Qingxuan's heart feel sour, and an inexplicable emotion rose within her.

Her eyes seemed a little dry, she secretly opened them to take a glimpse of Lin Zhen, wiping away the tears that had formed.

Perhaps her feelings had changed, and she didn't find Lin Zhen as annoying as before.

Somehow, Ning Qingxuan felt a hint of warmth in her heart. Although she initially intended to pretend to be asleep, the blanket was so cozy that she couldn't help but fall asleep, not worrying about her safety at all.

As Ning Qingxuan entered dreamland, Lin Zhen, who was seemingly cultivating, secretly opened one eye and glanced at her.

Looking at the sleeping beauty in her dreams, Lin Zhen revealed a slight smile.

"Little girl! Trying to compete with me! Although you are a Longevity Warrior, you still have a long way to go to play these tricks with me. After this time, I bet you've thrown your murderous intentions towards me far away!"

Although Ning Qingxuan had a bit of cleverness, compared to Lin Zhen, who had walked through fire and water, she was far behind in her schemes.

This time, Lin Zhen was at ease, standing under the tree and gently picking the Space-time Wandering Flower.

He reached out to cut the connection between the Star Crystal and the flower, and the Star Crystal floated slowly into Lin Zhen's palm.

The intertwining green and silver auras and pure lightning flowed slowly inside, without even a spark jumping.

"Nurturing the most domineering thunderlight, according to Chris, I think there's one place that is best."

"That is within me, the core of my Dantian, the existence that destroys everything: my Black Hole!"

Generally, after Martial Artists enter the Star System Stage, the Black Hole no longer exists. However, Lin Zhen is different. As a Black Hole Beast, the Black Hole is the core of his Dantian, and it always exists and is frequently used.

Once his mind was set, Lin Zhen began his cultivation.

The power of the Star Crystal was absorbed by him and guided into his body, while that strand of attributeless thunderlight was quickly taken into his Black Hole.

With the nurturing power of the Black Hole, Lin Zhen believes that one day, this thunderlight will shine brilliantly and illuminate the starry sky!

Chapter 666: Chapter 668: Lin Zhen Can't Last 10 Seconds

In fact, Lin Zhen didn't know what would happen to the lightning when it entered the Black Hole. However, he thought that since the lightning needed to be nurtured, the Black Hole would naturally be the best place.

But when the lightning entered the Black Hole, an astonishing change occurred!

The bolt of lightning plunged straight into the Naked Singularity!

Inside the Black Hole, the Naked Singularity is the core. All forces would be compressed and decomposed here, turning into neutrons with almost infinite density.

If one were to ask where the scariest place in the universe is, many people would probably choose the Black Hole, and the terror of Black Holes comes from the Naked Singularity.

The Naked Singularity, which destroys everything, has now become a base for the lightning. Although the lightning was absorbed by Lin Zhen, this thing still stunned him.

The destructive power within the Black Hole converges to the Naked Singularity, and under the nurture of this destructive power, this bolt of lightning turned black!

"This… I didn't expect that the lightning entering the Black Hole would absorb the power of destruction. If this continues, what kind of lethal power will this lightning have in the future?"

Lin Zhen was secretly excited. Since this lightning had such potential, he would slowly nurture it.

Moreover, the speed and space power contained in this lightning was enough for Lin Zhen to comprehend for a long time.

Lin Zhen was well-versed in these matters and began his round of cultivation.

Ning Qingxuan was awakened by the smell of barbecued meat.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Lin Zhen had set up a large structure on another small hill and was turning over an animal similar to a mountain goat.

Various bottles and jars of spices were spread around him.

It was clear that Lin Zhen was very skilled. As he quickly sprinkled various spices on, waves of fragrance burst forth. The golden roasted meat made one's mouth water.

Ning Qingxuan always stayed at home and never had to worry about food, so her Space Ring probably had the least stuff.

Apart from a few elixirs and weapons, she had nothing else.

Even Martial Artists need to eat, as do Longevity Warriors. Although they won't starve if they don't eat, they still get hungry.

Ning Qingxuan glanced at Lin Zhen from a distance and did not move, but her neck as white as jade quivered slightly.

"Crown Princess, there are only two of us here, so we might as well stick together in adversity. I have prepared some food here, why not come and eat together."

Ning Qingxuan sat down and began to meditate, not wanting to communicate with the man who had driven her away from the shade of the tree.

Lin Zhen glanced at the stubborn woman, smiled faintly, and with a wave of his hand, a ball of radiant energy rose into the air, illuminating the starry sky like a red sun.

That was not the end, he waved his hand again and a gentle breeze blew through the space, carrying the aroma of the roasted meat towards Ning Qingxuan.

The goat came from Gu Yunting's Space Ring while the spices were his collected treasures. It was said that this goat was from the White Dragon Snow Mountain of the Da Liang Empire, living above the snow line and eating berries, which made it extremely delicious in taste.

The salt came from the salt lake of the Falling Star Lake, the chili was from the heavenly chili of the Da Zhou Empire. Not to mention, Lin Zhen washed and cleaned the goat with Void Mountain Spirit Spring and applied his countless years of barbecuing skills, supplemented with some Golden Pill ingredients. The taste would make even immortals salivate.

Add to this, Lin Zhen mischievously directed the smell towards Ning Qingxuan using the Wind Element, which made her unable to calm her mind for practice.

After several failed attempts to meditate, Ning Qingxuan simply stopped her practice, her eyes frosty as she stared at Lin Zhen.

"Crown Princess, don't be so hostile to me. As you saw, when we arrived here, this space was wandering within a Space-time rift. Who knows when we'll find a way out? Instead of continuously opposing each other like fighting roosters, why not live in harmony? What do you say?"

Ning Qingxuan pursed her lips in silence, seemingly contemplating something.

"I know that the Crown Princess is a person with principles. When you found out that I came here first, you immediately gave me the place. I respect you highly for this."

Seeing that Ning Qingxuan still didn't speak, Lin Zhen continued, "Crown Princess, I hope to make a deal with you."

Ning Qingxuan looked at Lin Zhen, not knowing what he meant.

"No matter how long you and I have to stay here, I will take care of all your life necessities from now on. Whatever you want to eat, just say it and I'll make sure it's delivered to you. But I have a small request as well, which is to ask the Crown Princess to teach me some martial arts techniques in the future."

"You want me to teach you martial arts techniques?" Ning Qingxuan opened her eyes wide.

"Yes, Crown Princess, I am preparing to participate in the battles on Divine Punishment Star. You know that if I fight, I will represent Nan Liang. You wouldn't want me to suffer a crushing defeat on the Divine Punishment Star, to be killed or eliminated, right? After all, you are the Crown Princess of the Nan Liang Royal family, and you will rule over all in the future. This face of the Royal family is also part of you."

Ning Qingxuan was obviously persuaded. In her heart, it seemed that she was destined to be the Crown Princess, the queen.

This isn't about love, but destiny. From her childhood, she already knew this.

If it weren't for Hua Hua Taisui, she might already have been Queen today.

The face of the Nan Liang royal family seems to have some connection with her.

Moreover, what Lin Zhen said was true. The two of them didn't know when they would be able to leave this space. Being on guard all the time wasn't realistic, it's better to live in harmony.

Having figured this out, Ning Qingxuan stood up and joined Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen had already prepared a table and chairs. If it weren't for the absence of wind and rain here, he would have even brought a tent.

"Alright! Let's get ready to eat."

He took out different kinds of dishes from the Space Ring. He even had food from when he was on Earth.

"Try this, it's from my hometown, it's called pickled mustard."

Ning Qingxuan tasted a bit, and found the taste quite good.

"Try this too, it's also brought from the New World, it's called peanuts."

Ning Qingxuan ate a few peanuts and unexpectedly picked up a few more to eat, obviously she liked them.

"Haha! If you like them, you can eat more. And, try this; it's called crispy noodles. You can soak them in water or eat them dry."

"Also this, seaweed. Have you ever tried it? It's a delicacy from the deep sea. In my hometown, this packet would cost one… over ten thousand, enough for a family to live on for half a year."

Ning Qingxuan, eating various snacks Lin Zhen brought from Earth, her eyes gradually softened. These foods tasted so good, she had never tried them before.

As soon as Ning Qingxuan had eaten a few, Lin Zhen's main course was served.

The golden grilled meat was placed in front of her, torn into strips, served with various dipping sauces and smelled delicious.

Ning Qingxuan's eating manner was very elegant. As a future Crown Princess, not only did she have to learn martial arts, but also etiquette. Her manners were impeccable.

Perhaps Lin Zhen's cooking was too delicious, she ate elegantly but certainly not slow.

Lin Zhen watched Ning Qingxuan eat with joy, and found that the Crown Princess had a foodie attribute, which made things easier.

"Take your time eating, you can drink this. I made it myself, it's Spirit Spring juice, it tastes pretty good."

Spirit Spring juice made from the Void Mountain Spirit Spring and some fruits was placed in front of Ning Qingxuan.

They enjoyed this meal for a full hour. In the end, Qingxuan happily devoured the after-meal sunflower seeds, her favourite.

"Okay, I think we can start now."

After eating, Ning Qingxuan immediately began to fulfill her responsibilities, ready to instruct Lin Zhen in martial arts.

This was also what Lin Zhen desperately needed. Without the Dimensional Universe, he could do nothing but learn from Ning Qingxuan, the ideal sparring partner.

Of course, Lin Zhen didn't need much instruction now. His martial arts techniques were completely self-contained. What he needed most was for Ning Qingxuan to spar with him.

"Crown Princess, do you think I have a chance to refine my Divine Body on the Divine Punishment Star?"

Ning Qingxuan paused before answering: "I haven't ever participated in the trials of the Divine Punishment Star myself, but my mentor has. She was at the Peak of the World King when she participated. Her Star Power had reached 10 million, but she didn't even get a Primary Divine Body."

"10 million Star Power and she did't get even a Primary Divine Body?" Lin Zhen was slightly shocked. He had originally thought that with his current strength, once he transferred his Star Energy to his physical body on Divine Punishment Star, he would be unbeatable. It seemed that this was not the case.

"Yes, in our Nan Liang, World Kings who have over 5 million Star Power are considered good. But compared with the overall level in the whole Original World, Nan Liang is definitely of lower rank. In those big empires, World King Powerhouses are only considered strong when their Star Power reaches 10 million. Among them, some World King Powerhouses, who reach Peak level, can even defeat those in the Longevity Realm. Based on this assumption, even I, as I am today, won't get the strongest Divine Body in the Divine Punishment Star. What kind of gains do you think you can have with your current level?"

Ning Qingxuan continued: "Also, there are many martial artists in Divine Punishment Star and they have countless tricks up their sleeve. The thing you can rely on most is your own strength. For example, during our fight, many people will have a way to break the sudden surge of Star Power."

Lin Zhen nodded in silence. Star Energy Transfer, under certain specific conditions, will fail. He must be cautious with this in the Divine Punishment Star. It's better to improve his own physical strength.

"Let's start. Your martial arts skills are very good now, and I don't have any specific things to teach you. Like when I used to teach Chen'er, I will attack, you defend. Don't use your Star Power surge. If you can hold on for ten seconds, you've passed the initial test and will qualify to survive on Divine Punishment Star."

"Ten seconds?" Lin Zhen felt that he was being discriminated against.

Seeing Lin Zhen's reaction, Ning Qingxuan suddenly smiled, like a blooming flower: "Lin Zhen, you are very strong, right? Don't be embarrassed if you can't even endure for ten seconds here."

An odd smile appeared on Lin Zhen's face: "Here I go, Crown Princess. If one day, I can endure for ten hours, you must not surrender."

Chapter 667: Chapter 669: Crown Princess's Breakthrough Fails

Ning Qingxuan only thought Lin Zhen was bragging when she heard his words, and she was unable to grasp his deeper intentions. She aggressively attacked him with her longsword.

Lin Zhen decided not to let Ning Qingxuan succeed within ten seconds. He wielded his spear and defended himself as immovable like a mountain, and the two engaged rapidly like lightning.

Without using the Star Power Transfer and not consuming Divine Power Pills, Lin Zhen realized just how wide the gap between him and Ning Qingxuan was.

Her longsword knocked away Lin Zhen's shattering spear with its first strike, and the second strike hit him directly in the waist.

In two moves, Lin Zhen was defeated, and not even one second had passed.

Ning Qingxuan fell flat on his back, her mood, which had been somewhat depressed these days, was completely released. She laughed heartily, "Oh dear! Weren't you very powerful? You couldn't handle it in just two moves…"

Lin Zhen lay on the ground with a headache, didn't this Crown Princess know how provocative her words were to a man?

No, he had to hold out for three moves!

Like a spring, he bounced off the ground and the two engaged once again.

A Sword Light swept past in front of his eyes, and then he got a kick in the stomach. Lin Zhen was once again repelled.

Still just two moves!

Lin Zhen was extremely frustrated, while his 2.8 million Star Power couldn't compare to Ning Qingxuan's, couldn't he hold out for three moves?

Let's go again!

Within the shattered space, there was no concept of time. Lin Zhen didn't know how long they had been fighting. He was in a dire state, barely defending himself against Ning Qingxuan's two sword strikes before stumbling from a hit!

"Phew! I'm so tired!"

Lin Zhen lay on the ground, his spear thrown to one side, panting heavily. This practice was a lot more exhausting than the actual battle.

However, he had made a little breakthrough. He could now hold out for three moves.

Ning Qingxuan was clearly also very tired. She sat next to Lin Zhen, and casually said, "Lin Zhen, I'm hungry."

After saying this, she froze for a moment. When had she become so comfortable around Lin Zhen?

"Alright, you eat some of this first, and then I'll prepare some food for you."

Lin Zhen stood up after taking a deep breath. He first went to the depression between the two small hills and directly lifted his hand. The gravity absorbed a large amount of soil into the Dark Star Space.

A hole one meter deep and five meters in diameter was formed on the ground. Lin Zhen brought out a lot of fine sand from the Dark Star Space and completely filled the hole. Then, he created a pool by extracting a lot of water from the Void Mountain Spirit Spring from the Dark Star Space.

After thinking for a moment, he rummaged around in his Space Ring and brought out two large stones. He ignited them with Elixir Fire, turning them red-hot, and then buried them at the bottom of the pool.

The heat from below raised the pool's temperature to that of a warm spring.

After setting this up, Lin Zhen prepared some toiletries and placed them by the pool. Then he called out to Ning Qingxuan, "Crown Princess, you go take a bath first. I've prepared a hot spring for you over there."

Ning Qingxuan was fiddling with her hair at the moment, fretting over the harsh natural environment here, which was a torture to a clean-loving girl. She never expected that Lin Zhen would have a hot spring prepared.

With a sense of curiosity, she went over to check it out, and Ning Qingxuan instantly fell in love with this little hot spring.

However, she was somewhat wary of Lin Zhen, still haunted by the fear of being live-streamed in the bath by Hua Hua Taisui in the past.

Lin Zhen understood Ning Qingxuan's feelings. Without waiting for her to react, he immediately turned and left to prepare food under the nearby tree.

Ning Qingxuan, hesitating and suffering from upheaval on the inside, looked up. From Lin Zhen's angle, he presumably couldn't see her. A man was nearby, just ten meters away. Was she really supposed to undress and bathe here?

As an engaged woman and future queen, this seemed inappropriate.

But then again, considering they would probably have to stay here for a long, long time, should she abstain from bathing because of this? That would be even more unrealistic.

In the end, her love for cleanliness won out. Ning Qingxuan kept vigilant of Lin Zhen's spirit, then gently shed her clothes, revealing her beautiful body that glowed like white jade, and slowly entered the hot spring.

Underneath another tree, Lin Zhen was humming some unknown song. Hearing him sing was rather pleasant. Ning Qingxuan slowly relaxed, closing her eyes slightly. It was a somewhat warm moment.

Lin Zhen never thought of peeping. Completely not wanting to look would be lying, but Ning Qingxuan was a Longevity Warrior, and her spiritual power was stronger than his own. Lin Zhen decisively chose not to degrade himself, as their peaceful coexistence was already a favorable situation, and he did not wish to disrupt it.

Today, Lin Zhen was preparing hot pot. His Space Ring contained a plethora of ingredients, and the diverse array of edible plants in the Dark Star Space added to his supplies. Now that marine creatures have started to appear within the ocean inside the space, he sent the giant peng bird to get some seafood. Coupled with the Spirit Spring Elixir Fire and a few Golden Pills dissolved in the water, the hot pot was incredibly delicious.

By the time the hot pot was ready, Ning Qingxuan had finished her bath.

Dressed in a new soft, baby-blue cotton robe, Crown Princess's hair was still dripping wet. As she moved, a floral scent wafted around her, giving off an ethereal aura.

"Please take a seat, my lady master, and have a taste of your disciple's cooking skills."

Ning Qingxuan was training Lin Zhen, naturally, she could be considered his master. Hearing Lin Zhen's words, she gave him a little smile and then sat down.

As a Crown Princess, Ning Qingxuan had tasted many fine dishes, but none of them tasted as good as Lin Zhen's cooking.

They ate a joyous meal. Afterward, Lin Zhen said to Ning Qingxuan, "Crown Princess, you can rest under the tree here, I'm going to bathe over there."

Ning Qingxuan nodded, she wouldn't be able to return to where Lin Zhen was bathing.

The bright light in the sky gradually dimmed. The light sphere Lin Zhen made had an automatic dimming and brightening effect, simulating day and night.

After a while, Lin Zhen returned. Instead of resting, he picked some Domain King-level Star Crystals and began cultivating under the tree.

"Crown Princess, I was joking before. The Star Crystals on this tree, if there's something you need, feel free to pick and absorb at will."

Ning Qingxuan didn't refuse, she too was a Martial Artist and needed cultivation.

She smiled and said, "Well, you're quite generous."

Lin Zhen chuckled. "Crown Princess, you underestimate me. We might be stuck together here forever. What do I have to skimp on with you? Anything you want, I can give it to you without batting an eye."

His words caused Ning Qingxuan to pause, and she had a complex expression remembering how Lin Zhen had harassed her before but also saved her.

After a while, she broke the silence, "Lin Zhen, we can't stay here forever."

"Of course I want to leave too, but the question is, how do we leave?"

Ning Qingxuan thought for a moment, "I need to break through. If I successfully break through, I can forge a path through the Spatial Turbulence and return to the Original World."

"Oh! How much time do you need for the breakthrough? What are your odds?" Ning Qingxuan was already a Longevity Warrior, however, reaching the next realm might be challenging.

"Maybe a one in three chance, should take about a month."

"And if you fail?"

If I fail… it is a secret method breakthrough. My master told me not to attempt it lightly. Failure will have some side effects, but I must try… I cannot stay here forever."

"Then I wish you success."

Lin Zhen had a rough idea of Ning Qingxuan's thoughts. Although it was inappropriate for them to be together, she was desperate to get back to the Original World, despite her low chances of success.

However, Lin Zhen could not stop her from trying. It wasn't his place to make decisions for Ning Qingxuan.

Ning Qingxuan's temporary apprenticeship lasted only a day. the next day, she started making preparations for breakthrough and began to cultivate in earnest.

Lin Zhen was no idler either. After hearing some news about the City of Divine Punishment from Ning Qingxuan, he also started to cultivate diligently.

There were many talented individuals in the vast universe, even now, Lin Zhen dared not claim invincibility at the Domain King realm, let alone among King Realm level fighters. He had a long way ahead.

Now Lin Zhen was at the Fourth Level of the King Domain. The medicinal properties of the Elixir he consumed had not completely vanished and he couldn't continue to take more Elixir.

However, he could use Star Crystals. There were quite a number of them here. Although not enough to sustain his cultivation to the peak of the Domain King realm, they would suffice for him to advance by two to three levels.

If Ning Qingxuan did succeed, he would transplant the little tree into the Dark Star Space. If she failed, with some Elixirs, Lin Zhen could at least advance to Seventh-level Domain King within two years.

As for leaving the space, Lin Zhen had some ideas too. But for now, everything depended on Ning Qingxuan's success. If she failed, Lin Zhen had to prepare to take things into his own hands.

Each day was spent cultivating. The two picked and absorbed the Domain King Realm and Longevity Realm Star Crystals from the tree. Lin Zhen quickly advanced towards the Fifth-level Domain King realm.

Ning Qingxuan's aura also grew stronger, signaling that her breakthrough was near.

Till an entire month later.

After absorbing five more Star Crystals, Lin Zhen reached the peak of the Fourth Level King Domain. He was confident that he would reach the Fifth-level Domain King within half a month's time.

Meanwhile, Ning Qingxuan, who had been cultivating under the tree continuously, started to emit powerful Star Energy. Starlight flashed constantly on her. Her breakthrough was imminent!

This was Lin Zhen's first time seeing a Longevity Warrior's breakthrough, and the intense pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

However, Lin Zhen noticed that Ning Qingxuan's momentum seemed to falter.

A secret method breakthrough required everything to flow naturally. Ning Qingxuan's current state was not ideal. Her eagerness to leave resulted in her potential downfall.

The breakthrough process lasted for an hour. At the critical point, Ning Qingxuan's Star Energy was interrupted!

There was only a weak call, and then, Ning Qingxuan, who had looked godlike before, collapsed softly.

Lin Zhen, who had been prepared for this eventuality, rushed to her side, lifting the now unconscious Crown Princess in his arms.

She felt light, and Lin Zhen could not sense any Star Energy on her.

Failing the secret method breakthrough, Ning Qingxuan seemed to have lost all her power!

Chapter 668: Chapter 670: The Divine Punishment Star is about to be activated

When Ning Qingxuan woke up in a daze, she found herself already lying in her bed.

The aroma of food was coming from around her, and Lin Zhen seemed to be cooking something.

She tried to prop up her body with her hand, but her arm felt extremely weak, unable to support her.

Her breakthrough attempt had failed, leaving her without any Star Power, and her Divine Body in a frail state. At this point, she was not only less than a Martial Artist, but also weaker than an ordinary person in the New World.

This feeling of losing all her power made her feel bitter inside.

Her Master had told her not to try it lightly, otherwise, this would be the outcome.

She didn't know how long this state would last, but she estimated that it wouldn't recover in the short term.

It's not that she didn't want to return to the Original World; she had tried her best but failed. Now all she could do was leave it up to fate.

"You're awake. Try the porridge I made. I know you're weak, so let it help you regain some energy."

Lin Zhen brought her the porridge. Ning Qingxuan struggled to sit up but found it very challenging. Lin Zhen came to her side, gently lifting her body up with one hand and propping her against himself.

"Don't say I'm taking advantage of you in your moment of weakness. This way, it's more convenient for me to feed you. You better not move around too much. You should know that I am not a very patient person."

Ning Qingxuan's face turned red as a spoonful of fragrant porridge approached her. Being taken care of like this made her uncomfortable, especially since Lin Zhen was a man.

But her current abilities were almost depleted, leaving her unable to lift her arm. She didn't have any strength to resist Lin Zhen's slightly domineering behavior.

He gently fed her the porridge, then asked, "Crown Princess, how long will you be in this state?"

"I'm not sure, probably two or three years. I have to wait until my weakness ends, and then I'll recover."

Ning Qingxuan was grateful that Lin Zhen was not her enemy. If he were, she would undoubtedly be defenseless in her current state. But it seemed she had not misjudged him.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you until you recover."

After saying this, Lin Zhen felt that their current position was somewhat uncomfortable. He simply embraced her, letting her head rest on his shoulder.

Ning Qingxuan wanted to protest, but another spoonful of porridge was fed to her.

She closed her eyes in resignation, the rich masculine scent surrounding her making her heart pound.

"You don't need to worry about anything. Leave the matter of returning to the Original World to me."

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, Ning Qingxuan remained silent, feeling ashamed in her current state.

Lin Zhen smiled, finished feeding her, and then put the beauty back down. The very tired Ning Qingxuan quickly fell asleep.

Lin Zhen took off the World King level Star Crystal and began practicing again.

By the time he set the Light Sphere to darken again, he sensed Ning Qingxuan involuntarily curling up next to him.

Gently testing her forehead, Lin Zhen discovered that the Longevity Warrior seemed to have caught a chill.

"This is such a domineering side effect, making the body of a Longevity Warrior so weak. It's lucky that she's with me, otherwise, her life might be at risk."

Lin Zhen finished his practice and once more fed some water and food to Ning Qingxuan. Then he simply crawled into her bed.

Softly stretching his arm, he embraced the stunning Crown Princess, using his body heat to warm her up.

"Lin Zhen… What's wrong with me?"

Ning Qingxuan opened her eyes slightly, weakly asking.

"Don't worry, you just caught a chill. You'll be fine soon."

In her groggy state, Ning Qingxuan felt that something was amiss, but Lin Zhen's warm embrace provided her the most comfortable resting place. She couldn't help but find a comfortable position and fall back asleep.

The delicate body in his arms had an amazing elasticity and allure, making Lin Zhen very uncomfortable. He could only immerse his Spiritual Power into his Dantian and focus on studying the thunder and lightning within the Black Hole.

If they wanted to leave this place, they would probably have to rely on it eventually.

The Divine Punishment Star would be activated in just over two years, and news of this swept through the Original World.

One day, golden light descended from the sky, and almost everyone heard a voice.

This voice announced to the entire Original World that the Divine Punishment Star had appeared. In two years and five months, all those confirmed to enter the Divine Punishment Star should be prepared, as they would be directly teleported inside on that day.

The total number of people entering the Divine Punishment Star from the Original World was an astonishing one hundred billion!

The Dimensional Universe Company would also broadcast the situation of this Divine Punishment Star to everyone in the Original World, allowing everyone to watch their performance.

One hundred billion might sound like a lot, but in the face of the Original World's vast population, it could be described as a drop in the ocean.

The quota for the Divine Punishment Star became increasingly popular. However, most people who were eligible to obtain this quota were reluctant to sell it.

In addition to one hundred chances for refining the Divine Body, the top one hundred thousand Martial Artists would also receive a Qi of Divine Transformation!

The only function of the Qi of Divine Transformation was to help Martial Artists break through the World King's barrier and advance to Longevity Realm!

Even if they didn't get a chance to refine their Divine Body, there was a great opportunity to advance to the Longevity Realm, which was even more attractive to Martial Artists.

Of course, some people felt that they could reach the Longevity Realm and had no higher demands, choosing to sell their quota for the Divine Punishment Star.

Each quota sale would set off a bidding frenzy in the auction houses. Almost all the Divine Punishment Star quotas were sold for trillions.

Every country and power would carefully select their representatives to enter the Divine Punishment Star.

You should know that this time, the battle on the Divine Punishment Star will be broadcast live throughout the Original World, there is no way to cheat. Every country wants to gain the most attention and benefits from this grand event, so the people they send are definitely not mediocre.

However, some people believe that those who enter the Divine Punishment Star may not be the elite of the Original World. Many Martial Artists clearly possess great strength but have no money or influence, and therefore do not have the qualifications to go to the Divine Punishment Star. This is unfair for them.

Unfortunately, not many people support this argument. Money and influence are also part of one's strength. If you cannot obtain it, it means your strength is not enough. This world has never been truly fair, nor has it ever been fair.

Da Qin Empire!

King Qin Yuntian held a banquet in the main hall for all the people representing Da Qin in the battle.

Over a million people from Qin Kingdom participated in the battle, but only 1,000 truly represented the court!

King Qin, dressed in a golden robe, looked like a deity watching over all beings from above the clouds.

"You are all the pride of our Da Qin clan. As the strongest empire in the Original World, I have only one request: We must claim first place in this Divine Punishment Star battle. Do you have confidence?"

"Victory! Victory!"

At the front of the team, the young man in a blue robe, a World King at the Peak of Level Nine, was like a peerless divine weapon unsheathed from its scabbard, with a soaring sword intent that almost pierced through the Sky Dome.

"The first place must belong to our Qin Kingdom's Crown Prince, Qin Jianfeng! Only the first Imperial Crown Prince is worthy of the title of the number one in the Original World!"

Deep in the mountains of Zhao Country, a dense forest covered the sky.

Deep in the forest, an old man with a leather strap wrapped around his upper body was meditating.

In front of him, hundreds of disciples sat cross-legged, closing their eyes without speaking.

If you look closely at this old man, you'll find that the leather on his body was actually the skin of a Super Star River Beast, the Golden Dragon, which he'd peeled off and made into a piece of clothing.

"This time, our Secret Sect Martial Artists have obtained 300 places. For a hundred thousand years, we have not taken a single step out of this Mist Forest, waiting for this very day. My children, prepare to pick up your swords and spears, and let loose on the Divine Punishment Star! Show those countries on the mainland the strength of us, the Secret Sect disciples!"

In the capital of Nan Liang, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan was watching the Martial Artists below.

Nan Liang only had 1,000 places, and only less than twenty were actually under the royal family's control.

Liang Chen stood at the front of the line, with a dozen World King-level Strong Ones behind him.

Having not seen him for some time, Liang Chen had now become a Domain King – a Region King of the second level.

However, Liang Zhihuan's confidence was not very strong. Nan Liang's Martial Force could not be ranked in the entire Original World. Among the roughly five million countries in the Original World, it is estimated that Nan Liang could not even rank in the top four million.

If the Crown Princess's realm was not so high, he might still have some confidence. But now…

"My fellow Nan Liangians, in this battle on the Divine Punishment Star, I set only one goal for you: even if you cannot win a place to temper your body, you must at least achieve a ranking within the top 100,000. As long as you reach this goal, we will have achieved victory!"

To be able to win a place within the top 100,000 contenders out of several billion and gain an opportunity to advance to the Longevity Realm is not an easy task. Whoever can achieve this will have a promising future with limitless potential!

Within the Fire Kirin Clan, the clan leader is also gathering Martial Artists to discuss.

"This time, our Kirin Clan has been allocated 300 places. However, for our Fire Kirin Clan, we only have 15 places after the distribution among the Ink Kirin, Jade Kirin, and others. So, I decided to allocate the places according to the following method."

"Qin Dong! One place. Zhao Xiaolong, one place. Ke Xiangnan, one place. Ke Xiangdong, one place. …."

Ke Xiangdong and Ke Xiangnan looked at each other, both with excitement in their eyes.

Joining the Kirin Clan was indeed the right choice. If they could achieve a good ranking on the Divine Punishment Star this time, they would have entered the public eye as brothers.

Initially, the incident with Lin Zhen had brought a huge negative impact, but it had been more than seven hundred years since then, and things had finally settled down. This time, they both were able to attain places, which meant that the clan no longer cared about that incident.

"Lin Zhen! You brought me of a great impact at first, and then killed my father. When I return from the Divine Punishment Star, it will be the day to take revenge on you. Prepare to die!" Ke Xiangnan, already a World King expert, clenched his fists tightly.

At the Phoenix Clan's Sacred Mountain, surrounded by Wutong trees.

As the clan's gathering call rang out, beautiful Phoenixes flew out from the trees and headed towards the clan's main hall.

At this moment, an exceptionally beautiful Little Phoenix gently stretched its wings, transformed into a woman dressed in red, and landed in front of the main hall.

"Qing Luan! I'm right here!"

The Phoenix Clan's Deputy Clan Chief, Jun Mo, came to Feng Qingluan's side with a gentle, jade-like smile.

"Greetings to the Deputy Clan Chief!" Feng Qingluan bent slightly.

"Ah! Qing Luan, why are you still so formal with me? We will be family sooner or later anyway."

"Please have some self-respect, Deputy Clan Chief. I already have someone in my heart. We have made a thousand-year agreement. Unless he doesn't want me anymore, I won't belong to anyone else."

Jun Mo's face suddenly looked very ugly, and he awkwardly said, "Alright then, I hope your chosen person does not forget the time. However, both you and I are allotted places for the Divine Punishment Star this time. Let's go in and listen to the arrangements."

Feng Qingluan nodded and stepped into the Phoenix Clan's main hall.

At this time, the entire Original World was discussing this matter. Every force and every person were closely linked to the Divine Punishment Star!

Chapter 669: Chapter 671: The Night Before Leaving the Space (3 more updates)

No matter whether it was the New World or the Original World, there were never any shortage of individuals with extremely strong determination and willpower.

These people could hide themselves in the mountains and forests, or blend into the crowds of the city. Some of them could conceal their abilities for many years, only appearing when an opportunity that truly aroused their interest came along.

This time, the battle on the Divine Punishment Star offered one hundred chances to temper one's Divine Body and one hundred thousand opportunities to advance to Longevity. Who wouldn't desire it?

In the minds of many martial artists, advancing to Longevity was even more important than tempering a Divine Body. Their goal was to obtain the Qi of Divine Transformation.

Only the most outstanding and top-level talents would think of competing for the opportunity to temper their Divine Body.

One by one, martial artists left their hiding places and started to head towards the auction houses in various cities, hoping to secure a place on the Divine Punishment Star.

One hundred million quota, even within the scope of the Original World, it meant nothing. Numerous battles for these quotas began, fought over with money and lives at stake.

For Lin Zhen to obtain a place was extremely lucky. With Nalan Chenxi's submission, Lin Zhen's name had already been forwarded, and even though he was in a space crack, the Dimensional Universe system still added his name.

On the day when the golden light descended from the sky, Lin Zhen also received news of the appearance of the Divine Punishment Star.

Now, no one knew what the Divine Punishment Star looked like, but this voice must have been sent out by someone with incredible strength, which allowed the whole Original World to hear, Lin Zhen being no exception.

"The Divine Punishment Star has appeared…."

While still in a daze, Lin Zhen heard the voice and woke up.

A faint fragrance drifted over from his chest, and perhaps sensing his movement, Ning Qingxuan felt somewhat uncomfortable. Instinctively, she snuggled closer to Lin Zhen's chest, seeking a comforting position.

Lin Zhen cautiously felt her forehead, and the coldness of her body was beginning to subside.

"From being a Longevity Warrior to being utterly fragile, this is quite a challenge for me."

At this moment, the delicate body in his arms stiffened slightly. Lin Zhen could feel that Ning Qingxuan had already awakened.

Lin Zhen had initially planned to put her down, but the softness of the tender body in his embrace was simply too comforting. However, he gave in for just a moment, not thinking that it would lead to an awkward situation now.

With a turn of his eyes, Lin Zhen deliberately held her tighter in his arms: "I'd better let the Crown Princess recover soon. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if she wakes up and sees me holding her like this. She might even misunderstand me."

Speaking, he continued to mutter to himself: "I'll wait for another ten minutes, and then I'll let go after warming her up."

By saying this, he was giving Ning Qingxuan some comfort, showing that he had no ill intentions towards her.

Ning Qingxuan's heart stirred upon hearing this, figuring that things had already gone this far, and it was better to pretend to still be asleep for the time being. Once Lin Zhen left, she would continue in her feigned sleep.

But now, with both of them wide awake, the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.

Ning Qingxuan's head rested on Lin Zhen's chest, with one small hand on it as well. As she listened to the drumming heartbeat from within his chest, she felt her own heart rate begin to quicken.

She was the Crown Princess, soon-to-be queen! What did it mean to be held by a man like this?

Ettiquette, morality, shame, fear of gossip! Purity! One after another, all these thoughts filled her head, making her feel extremely chaotic within.

Moreover, Lin Zhen's embrace was so warm, and she had never experienced anything like it before. As a result, she instinctively became somewhat greedy for his embrace.

She could clearly feel Lin Zhen's breath on her face, and she couldn't help but worry that he would suddenly try to kiss her. What would she do then?

She felt as if she would faint, and with her Martial Force gone, she could not think of any way to deal with Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's hand touched her!

She could distinctly feel Lin Zhen's hand touching her smooth, jade-like cheeks, feeling as if they were burning with heat.

"He's about to make a move! What do I do?"

Just when Ning Qingxuan thought that Lin Zhen was about to let his desires run wild, his hand gently rested on her forehead: "Hmm, you're getting better. Get up quickly and prepare something for her to eat. Such a good girl, it's such a pity. It even breaks my heart."

After speaking, Ning Qingxuan felt a gentle kiss on her forehead before Lin Zhen released her and left.

A feeling she had never experienced before lingered in her heart.

Perhaps the Crown Prince deeply loved Ning Qingxuan, but various reasons had prevented him from showing any affection until now. In terms of feelings, Ning Qingxuan was still a blank canvas.

Now, with Lin Zhen treating her like this, her emotions were in turmoil.

Days of cultivation always passed quickly. During the time of Ning Qingxuan's recovery, Lin Zhen took care of her every day, gradually helping her body regain its strength.

During the day, Lin Zhen would cultivate while Ning Qingxuan rested in the small, warm hut he built for her. Sometimes, she would lean on her Five-Colored Deer and take a walk, bathe herself, or attend to other personal matters.

She was a relatively quiet woman and not the type to draw attention to herself. At night, Lin Zhen would always sneak into her bed under the pretext of keeping her warm from the cold.

From the initial resistance to acceptance, and eventually getting used to it, Ning Qingxuan herself didn't know how she had gotten through this process.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen was quite understanding and never made Ning Qingxuan feel embarrassed during this process.

Later on, she became used to his embrace, and when Lin Zhen was not by her side, Ning Qingxuan would actually feel restless.

She knew this wasn't good, but there were only two of them here after all. After one failed attempt, Ning Qingxuan even thought that they might never have a chance to leave this space again.

Anyway, Lin Zhen just kissed her forehead and cheeks, and he never did anything else. She chose not to think too much about the issues that troubled her.

If they couldn't leave anyway, then thinking too much would be self-torture, so she might as well think of it as the price for him taking care of her.

Time quickly passed, and more than two years had gone by!

In these two-plus years, with the support of both elixirs and Star Crystals, Lin Zhen advanced all the way from King Domain Fourth Level to Domain King Eighth Level!

His Star Power had increased from 2,800,000 to 4,000,000!

In addition to his Dantian's promotion, Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space had also been greatly nurtured. In another two years, he would probably be able to light up the fourth Seven Kills Star.

Moreover, his Spiritual Power had also made good progress during this time, reaching the Late Bronze Stage but not yet silverized.

He had fully mastered the mysteries of Planet Fall and also learned the fourth move of the Taiyuan Sword Skill, Grand Void.

Since Planet Fall consumed a lot of Star Power, the Grand Void Sword Skill became a great supplement with its immense power and smaller consumption.

The most important thing was that the thunder and lightning power within Lin Zhen's Black Hole, which he had been nurturing all this time, had finally reached saturation and could no longer contain the Black Hole Power.

All the thunderous power transformed into three black thunderbolts!

These black thunderbolts contained a powerful Power of Destruction, rotating around the naked singularity in a pin shape.

Lin Zhen knew that these three black thunderbolts were not for him to use at will. After using one, he would need time to replenish before it could be restored.

At the moment the three black thunderbolts were successfully formed, Lin Zhen's energy gushed within the Black Hole as thunders roared. Sensing the powerful Power of Destruction within them, Lin Zhen named these three black thunderbolts Destructive God Thunder!

Without testing, Lin Zhen knew that the Destructive God Thunder would definitely be able to tear apart the Space Barrier and allow them to return to the Original World.

After calculating the time, there was now less than a month left until the opening of the City of Divine Punishment!

Maybe it was time to leave.

Just as Lin Zhen thought it was time to tell the Crown Princess about this matter, he caught a glimpse of something.

A Star Crystal on the tree could faintly reflect light.

Others might not be able to see anything, but Lin Zhen could roughly see the situation in another angle that couldn't be seen through the reflection of the Star Crystal.

Ning Qingxuan sat blankly by the pool, her palm slightly raised, with a little starlight flowing on it!

She had recovered her power!

Lin Zhen was shocked, as Ning Qingxuan had not shown any signs of recovery this morning, so it appeared that she had just recovered today.

He didn't know whether Ning Qingxuan with her recovered power would still try to break the Space Barrier. In Lin Zhen's heart, he still hoped that he would be the one to break the barrier since it was too risky for Ning Qingxuan to do it.

She must be impatient to reveal this matter, and then anxiously want to leave.

Thinking of Ning Qingxuan possibly going back to marry the Crown Prince, Lin Zhen's heart felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he had been holding her to sleep every night for more than two years. To say that he didn't have a bit of interest in her would be unbelievable.

Especially in the past year or so, every night, Ning Qingxuan would wait for Lin Zhen to come and hold her before she would fall asleep. Although she pretended to be asleep, how could she deceive Lin Zhen?

But her identity was different after all. She was the future queen, and she had to return to where she belonged eventually.

Now that she had power, what would she do?

Lin Zhen decided to wait for a day and if Ning Qingxuan didn't say anything tonight, he would talk about leaving tomorrow.

As expected, when Ning Qingxuan returned to Lin Zhen's side, she didn't mention her recovered power. She just looked much better.

For this meal, Lin Zhen used all his culinary skills and made a feast comparable to a royal banquet.

However, Ning Qingxuan ate very little today, as if she had no appetite.

When the night came and Lin Zhen dimmed the light sphere he had created, Ning Qingxuan went back to the warm bed he had prepared for her.

Lying there, looking at the swaying Star Crystals on the trees, the faint glow had a different kind of beauty today.

Lin Zhen tidied up and waited for a while. Seeing Ning Qingxuan lying still, he took the initiative to walk over, lift the quilt and lie down, then embraced the beauty in his arms.

After he placed Ning Qingxuan in a comfortable position, just when Lin Zhen thought it would be a peaceful night, he saw the beautiful woman beside him quietly watching him with her beautiful big eyes wide open.

Chapter 670: Chapter 672: Escaping the Crisis (Fourth Update)

For the first time in more than two years, Ning Qingxuan opened her eyes while hugging each other.

Lin Zhen couldn't imagine Ning Qingxuan's thoughts at this moment, but he knew that the reserved and calm Crown Princess must have gathered great courage.

Lin Zhen's first reaction was to want to let go, but in a flash, he immediately rejected the idea.

Why should a real man let go when he dares to act and accept responsibility?

Not only did he not let go, but Lin Zhen held the beauty in his arms even tighter, with forehead close to forehead, close enough to clearly feel each other's breath.

This was a bold move. It should be known that Ning Qingxuan had already regained her strength at this moment, and despite Lin Zhen's current high Star Power of four million, he was definitely no match for her.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. This fortune does not only refer to wealth. Many beautiful things are not easily obtained, but Lin Zhen believed his actions were right at this moment.

Because he saw that there was no rejection in Ning Qingxuan's eyes. On the contrary, she seemed very satisfied with Lin Zhen's response.

If Lin Zhen let go of her now, it would undoubtedly disappoint her greatly.

"Lin Zhen, you are a bold guy."

"Well, at least I don't think the Crown Princess is a terrible person."

"You know I'm the Crown Princess, so what are you doing now?"

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, didn't give a clumsy excuse about warming her up, and said bluntly, "Holding the woman I love."

Ning Qingxuan stared intently into Lin Zhen's eyes, as if she wanted to etch his image firmly in her heart.

After a while, she took the initiative to lean into Lin Zhen's arms for the first time, extending a pair of snake-like arms to hug his neck.

Her arms were beautiful, slightly cool. As her arms stretched out, her sleeves slid down on her creamy skin, shining white.

"Lin Zhen, I used to lie in this position every day, looking at the Star Crystals on these trees, and I felt that this place was beautiful. I kept thinking in my heart that maybe I would never leave, that I would stay here forever. I don't have to face the turmoil outside or anyone else. Maybe one day, I would marry you…."

Upon hearing Ning Qingxuan's sudden straightforward expression, Lin Zhen didn't know how to respond.

"But I know that day won't come. I have my destiny. From the time I could remember, my destiny has been so. The Qingye Sect and the Nan Liang Royal Family have long been inseparable, and my marriage to Liang Zhihuan is the most critical link. There are too many interests entangled here, and no one will allow any mistakes in this matter."

Lin Zhen looked at Ning Qingxuan, "You have the strength to fight."

"No! I can't fight. I was raised by the Qingye Sect. Unless I return my life to them, I have no right to fight it. That's also the value of my existence."

Lin Zhen did not speak, but thought secretly in his heart about how to deal with this matter.

At this moment, Ning Qingxuan suddenly sat up, took off the wooden hairpin from her head, and her blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Lin Zhen, do you think I'm beautiful?"

"Very beautiful!"

Ning Qingxuan suddenly leaned down, her hot red lips pressing against Lin Zhen's mouth.

Feeling a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, Lin Zhen turned over and pressed Ning Qingxuan under him, enveloping her with a fiery kiss.

The clandestine exchange like that of cloves intoxicated him.

A few minutes later, Ning Qingxuan wrapped her hands around Lin Zhen's neck, a determined look in her eyes, "Lin Zhen, I'm very happy to have you accompany me these past two years. Tonight, you can do whatever you want to me."

Lin Zhen's breath grew heavy, and he could not refuse such a blessing.

"But… after today, please forget me completely. I will marry into the Nan Liang Royal Family and become the true Crown Princess."

It was like a basin of cold water being splashed over him. Lin Zhen knew that what Ning Qingxuan said was true.

But how could Lin Zhen be willing to accept this result? He leaned down and gently kissed her lips, "If that's the case, I have a request."

"Go ahead, I promise you everything."

"I won't do anything to you today, but please keep this for me: Your first time belongs to me."

Lin Zhen naturally knew that this peerless beauty was still a virgin, and she was very committed. Currently, he was not strong enough to face the Nan Liang Royal Family, so he made this request.

Ning Qingxuan looked at Lin Zhen with a complicated expression, and she knew what this request meant.

Marrying into the royal family was just a change of living environment, but she would not be able to truly accept the Crown Prince and future Emperor Liang Zhihuan.

It could be said that Lin Zhen's request was very excessive. Ning Qingxuan was already somewhat touched, and wanted to give herself, her most precious, to Lin Zhen before leaving so as not to leave any regrets.

Unexpectedly, what Lin Zhen wanted was her heart.

If she agreed, where would that leave Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan, who would be emperor in the future?

Reason assaulted her mind wave after wave, making her somewhat undecided.

Kiss after deep kiss pressed down, and Ning Qingxuan, who was experiencing this taste for the first time, became weak-limbed. Finally, she nodded to Lin Zhen, "I promise you, but my future may be…."

"No! You have to stay there, waiting for the day when I come to take you away!"

The night passed quickly, and Lin Zhen didn't know when he fell asleep.

He was awakened by a strong aura.

When he woke up, Ning Qingxuan had already changed into a new dress and was standing by the pool, the water gently rippling.

Lin Zhen could tell that Ning Qingxuan had made a breakthrough.

"You're awake, I prepared some food for you. Although it's not as good as what you make, I did it myself. Give it a try."

Although the simple porridge and dishes on the table were not abundant, they were delicious.

Ning Qingxuan sat next to Lin Zhen, and the two of them ate their last breakfast together.

"Lin Zhen, I thought before that I would teach you everything I know so that you would be more competitive in the Divine Punishment Star, but I was useless. Because I forced myself to breakthrough, I became disabled for more than two years and needed you to take care of me. I'm worried about how you'll manage in the Divine Punishment Star."

"Hehe! Do you really think I have no competitiveness in your eyes?"

Lin Zhen was not worried. The Divine Punishment Star competition wasn't going to end overnight. He was confident that he would achieve a great ranking in this battle.

After quickly finishing the food, Ning Qingxuan walked around the space.

She stood under that tree for a long time, and Lin Zhen could clearly feel her reluctance.

Raising her hand, she added her name, Ning Qingxuan, next to Lin Zhen's on the trunk where it said "Lin Zhen's Little Tree."

From above, it now read, "Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan's Little Tree."

"I will definitely miss this place. Let's go!"

After doing all this, Ning Qingxuan left her lingering reluctance behind and headed straight for the edge of the space.

Lin Zhen glanced at her, then discreetly waved his hand and collected the tree along with the small hill into the Dark Star Space.

With a single step, he appeared next to Ning Qingxuan, and the space began to tremble at that moment.

Having lost the little tree, this wandering space finally faced the edge of collapse.

Ning Qingxuan didn't know why this was happening and grabbed Lin Zhen's hand, "Let's go!"

She wielded her long sword, slashing fiercely, and cracks immediately appeared in the barrier of the small space!

Both of them rushed into the boundless spatial turbulence outside.

Once there, Ning Qingxuan waved her sword again, breaking open the surrounding energy storm and slamming it against the space barrier!

A crack appeared in the stable space of the Original World, and almost at the same time, the two of them teleported away, leaving the spatial rift behind!

Lin Zhen didn't use his Destructive God Thunder, as it would take a long time to recover after using it. So, he decided to save it.

The surrounding area was not near the ground but was located in the starry sky.

"Lin Zhen, can you tell if this place is still within the Nan Liang region?"

Lin Zhen immediately summoned Chris: "Check quickly, where is this place?"

Chris quickly gave an answer: "Master, you haven't gone very far from where you originally were. This still belongs to Nan Liang's starry sky, and the distance from where you entered the spatial rift is only 200 million kilometers."

Lin Zhen nodded, 200 million kilometers in the starry sky wasn't really a long distance and it wouldn't take much time to go back.

Summoning the Twin-headed Demon Dragon again, Lin Zhen held Ning Qingxuan in his arms.

Ning Qingxuan's face flushed as she leaned against his chest and glanced at the Twin-headed Demon Dragon, "Your demon pet belongs to Hua Hua Taisui. Its call is very unpleasant. I don't like it. Let's roast it someday."

The Twin-headed Demon Dragon was too familiar with Ning Qingxuan. It never thought this terrifying woman would become its mistress. As soon as it heard her suggesting Lin Zhen eat it, it wished it could transform into a golden oriole right away and make some pleasant noises for Ning Qingxuan to hear.

But after a couple of howls, it was slapped by Lin Zhen: "On the way! Don't look back, neither the left nor the right head!"

The Twin-headed Demon Dragon quickly flew towards the ground, and Lin Zhen asked for Ning Qingxuan's Dimensional Universe number.

Her Dimensional Universe had almost never been used, and it was always in a closed state. It was only after Lin Zhen's reminder that she opened her Dimensional Universe.

After they added each other, Lin Zhen whispered in Ning Qingxuan's ear, "Xuan'er, you can do a lot of things in the Dimensional Universe too!"

Ning Qingxuan gently pinched Lin Zhen and leaned against him, murmuring, "I have some regrets about agreeing to this. It's going to be very hard for me."

"Do you want to take it back?"

"Of course not, since I promised you, I will never go back on my word. I also hope you can create miracles and break my fate one day to appear in front of me. Although I know it's very slim, I have an infinite life, and I can wait for you forever."

Lin Zhen was also deeply moved in his heart. He couldn't let Ning Qingxuan wait too long.

"Can I ask you for a favor as well?" Ning Qingxuan suddenly looked up at Lin Zhen.

"Just say it."

"Chen'er, I mean Liang Chen, will also participate in the Divine Punishment Star challenge. I'm worried about his situation there. Once you're there, it's best to take care of him. I know your strength is very powerful now, and there are very few opponents among the World Kings."

"You want me to take care of Liang Chen?"

"Yes… now that you're treating me like this, he should be considered your junior." Ning Qingxuan said matter-of-factly.

But an odd feeling rose in Lin Zhen's heart. What kind of relationship did he have with Liang Chen?

Chapter 671: Chapter 673: Ascending to the Throne.

When the double-headed demon dragon was still tens of millions of kilometers away from the ground, the Crown Princess, softened in Lin Zhen's embrace, gently pushed against his chest, signalling him to let go.

It was only then that Lin Zhen let go of his mischief, releasing her cherry lips, which were already somewhat swollen from his kisses.

"Lin Zhen, I have to go. If we go any further, there will be more star space detectors. I don't want anyone to see any unnecessary complications at this time."

"Mmm." Lin Zhen's mood was also a bit down.

"Don't worry about me. Since I promised you, I will take good care of myself. Although I can't fight against this fate, I have made another breakthrough in the Longevity Realm. As long as I don't want to, no one can force me."

"I will go to the Imperial Palace to see you."

"Oh! I am really looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of identity my little lover will enter the Imperial Palace with?" Obviously, Ning Qingxuan didn't quite believe it. Once she entered the palace, she would most likely become a queen, making it impossible for her to meet with other men easily.

"Definitely, you just wait. Also, remember to open your Dimensional Universe, if you miss me, you can meet me inside the Dimensional Universe."

Ning Qingxuan nodded slightly and summoned the Five-Colored Deer.

She took a deep look at Lin Zhen, and the teardrops in her eyes sparkled. She didn't want to part with her lover just after they had just established their love.

"Goodbye, Lin Zhen!"

The Five-Colored Deer galloped away, quickly disappearing into the vast starry sky.

Watching his lover leave, Lin Zhen sighed, he should not fail such a beautiful woman.

He quickly adjusted himself, arranging his emotions and heading towards the ground. The Divine Punishment Star was about to begin, and he needed to hurry up and prepare.

Inside the Regent Palace of Nan Liang, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan had finished dealing with his affairs and was staring blankly out of the window.

Ning Qingxuan had been missing for more than two years. Even though his power was now almost equal to that of the Emperor, he still could not do anything for those who had disappeared in the space rift.

The identity of the other man who had disappeared with Ning Qingxuan had also been determined. He was Lin Zhen, a Martial Artist from the New World, and he was actually acting as the Great Elder in the Alchemist Guild.

However, according to Liang Chen, Lin Zhen was very likely a clone, and his true self was Hua Hua Taisui.

That being the case, it was no wonder that Ning Qingxuan would chase him deep into the star space.

The scene of Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan being swallowed by the rift together was still vivid in Liang Zhihuan's mind. Although he knew that it was an instinctive reaction at the time, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

His fiancée was too beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy about it.

"Qingxuan… where on earth are you?"

As the Crown Prince was feeling a little sad, an eunuch suddenly reported from outside.

"Report~~~~! Your Royal Highness, the Crown Princess has returned!"

The usually calm eunuch nearly rolled and crawled in, his face full of joy.

Liang Zhihuan was even more excited, taking a few steps to grab the eunuch: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Your Highness, I said the Crown Princess is back. She just returned, and the City Defense Army got the first news. She has already returned to Qinyin Residence!"

Before the words had fallen, Liang Zhihuan had thrown the eunuch aside and disappeared on the spot!

Inside the Qinyin Residence, Liang Chen excitedly came to Ning Qingxuan's side, bowing deeply: "Mother, you are finally back. I knew you would be safe and sound."

"Hmm, you've made progress in these two years of not seeing you. You've become a Domain King."

Liang Chen was now a second-level Domain King, having made considerable progress in strength. Hearing Ning Qingxuan's praise, he immediately slapped his chest and said, "I have never been lax these days, preparing for the Divine Punishment Star. I have defeated several World King experts, but it's a pity that that bastard Lin Zhen is gone, otherwise, I would have beaten him to the ground looking for teeth."

Ning Qingxuan glanced at Liang Chen. During this time with Lin Zhen, she was extremely shocked by Lin Zhen's potential. In just two years, he had soared from Domain King fourth level to Domain King eighth level!

Moreover, before that, Lin Zhen was just like her son, only having a Star System ninth level. It was already a genius performance for her son to progress from Star System ninth level to Domain King second level in two years, but compared to Lin Zhen, he was nothing.

Furthermore, Liang Chen kept calling Lin Zhen a "bastard," which made Ning Qingxuan feel uncomfortable in her heart.

No matter how close Liang Chen was to her, he could not compare to the position Lin Zhen held in Ning Qingxuan's heart. And now that they had just separated, hearing someone say such things about Lin Zhen made her unhappy.

"Chen'er, do not be too conceited. Remember that there are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens. You stand no chance against Lin Zhen right now."

"Mother! How can you say that, boosting the morale of others and dampening your own child's spirit? That Lin Zhen bastard… Ah! Mother, you were swallowed by the space rift with Lin Zhen, right? How is that bastard? Is he dead?"

Ning Qingxuan ignored Liang Chen, got up, and went to the back garden.

Ning Qingxuan had always spoiled Liang Chen, and her direct expression of dissatisfaction was the first time he had experienced it, making him somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, a shadow flashed outside, and his father, Liang Zhihuan, appeared before them.

"Where is your imperial concubine mother?"

"She went to the garden, and she seemed unhappy."

"You too, you're such a grown-up, yet you constantly act frivolously, always making your mother angry, just wait until I get a chance to teach you a lesson."

After saying that, Liang Zhihuan didn't bother with Liang Chen and quickly entered the garden.

Entering the garden, he saw Ning Qingxuan in simple and elegant clothes sitting on a beauty-couch, with a book in her hand, but her gaze was unfocused and clearly not paying attention to it.

"Xuan'er, you're back!" Liang Zhihuan called out.

Ning Qingxuan's beautiful eyes moved, her gaze fell on Liang Zhihuan, and she got up from the beauty-couch and bowed slightly: "Your Highness."

"Ah, ah, just sit, just sit."

Having a servant girl bring over a chair, Liang Zhihuan sat in front of Ning Qingxuan: "Xuan'er, I've missed you so much over the past two years, what exactly happened to you?"

"Nothing much, I just got trapped in a spatial rift and couldn't get out until yesterday when I finally broke through and escaped."

Liang Zhihuan noticed that Ning Qingxuan's realm had once again improved, and was secretly amazed. Such a Ning Qingxuan could almost be considered the number one expert in Nan Liang.

"Then… what about the person you were chasing back then?"

Ning Qingxuan's beautiful eyes rested on Liang Zhihuan's face, and after a moment, she said: "Hua Hua Taisui is already dead."

"Dead? That's great! Hahaha! That's excellent!" Liang Zhihuan clapped his hands and laughed, feeling instantly relieved.

"Then Lin Zhen must be dead too, right? He is Hua Hua Taisui's avatar; since the main body is dead, the avatar cannot possibly survive on its own."

Unexpectedly, Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly: "Lin Zhen is the main body, and it was he who killed Hua Hua Taisui."

"Then… what about Lin Zhen…?"

At this moment, Ning Qingxuan lowered her head and did not want to discuss Lin Zhen in front of Liang Zhihuan. Instead, she slowly said: "Your Highness, don't think too much about it, haven't I returned safely?"

Her voice was quiet but firm, leaving no room for refutation. Even Liang Zhihuan, as the future emperor, felt somewhat inadequate in front of Ning Qingxuan and didn't dare to ask any further.

Moreover, he also knew the art of observing women. Ning Qingxuan's body shape remained unchanged, and her brow was on point, clearly still a virgin. So, she should have no relations with Lin Zhen.

Thinking about it in his heart, Liang Zhihuan decided to probe a little further.

"Xuan'er, we should have gotten married a long time ago, but it was because of the Hua Hua Taisui incident. I once swore that if Hua Hua Taisui didn't die, I wouldn't get married and wouldn't marry you. Now that he is dead, shouldn't we…?"

Ning Qingxuan looked into the distance: "These matters are at your discretion, Your Highness. After all, you've always been the one making the decisions."

"Good, good, good! I'll go back and prepare for our grand wedding now! My father has told me several times that when I decide to take the throne, he will give it to me. In fact, I don't even know where he went. Xuan'er, get ready to be my queen!"

Ning Qingxuan neither agreed nor disagreed, seemingly indifferent to the matter.

"Then I should leave." Liang Zhihuan stood up.

"Your Highness, take care." Ning Qingxuan bowed slightly.

"Xuan'er, won't you send me off?" Seeing Ning Qingxuan's charming and enchanting appearance, Liang Zhihuan felt a bit eager. He had waited for this day for so long, and yet he hadn't even held her hand yet.

"I'm tired, Your Highness. Please leave on your own."

After saying that, Ning Qingxuan picked up her book and didn't show any respect to the soon-to-be enthroned emperor at all.

Liang Zhihuan told himself that the reason for this was their lack of emotional foundation, and things would get better over time.

Not wanting to leave just yet, he tried to come up with more topics of conversation: "Lately, Chen'er has been improving a lot too. The Divine Punishment Star is about to begin, and I think he should be able to achieve a decent result in it; he might even surprise us."

Ning Qingxuan, who in the past would have been more enthusiastic when talking about Liang Chen, seemed to be somewhat interested today, but not as much as Liang Zhihuan had imagined.

She shook her head slightly: "It's difficult, I just hope he can protect himself inside and not cause too much trouble for others."

Liang Zhihuan was taken aback, not quite understanding what Ning Qingxuan meant.

However, none of these things mattered. He was about to ascend to the throne and marry Ning Qingxuan. That was the most important thing.

Liang Zhihuan left and immediately began preparing for various matters. He moved quickly and had everything ready three days before the opening of the Divine Punishment Star. He officially ascended the throne and became the Emperor of Nan Liang.

On that day, he announced that he would marry Crown Princess Ning Qingxuan as his queen and have her officially enter the Imperial Palace.

People originally thought that on the morning of the second day, the double-blessed Liang Zhihuan would be overjoyed at court. However, the emperor appeared dispirited and irritable after the court session.

Only later did the news come out that, for some reason, the queen did not let the emperor in on their wedding night.

People speculated that it was due to the emotional distance between the emperor and the queen, but who would dare to force the queen? It seemed that the emperor's wishes would remain unfulfilled for the time being.

Only Ning Qingxuan's maidservant, Xiaoya, felt that her mistress had changed a bit. On her wedding night, she was in her room, seemingly researching the Dimensional Universe. Could it be that she and the emperor had a rendezvous in the Dimensional Universe? That would be truly romantic.

Chapter 672: Chapter 674: Begin!

During this time, Lin Zhen returned to the Alchemist's Guild. The practice of martial arts had temporarily hit a bottleneck, and there was not much room for growth. Lin Zhen used this time to practice alchemy.

His current elixir reserve could support his promotion to World King, but the demand for elixirs above the World King level was too great and too expensive. Lin Zhen, who was somewhat short of funds, couldn't afford it for the time being.

He was currently researching a new type of elixir, the Spiritual Power potion!

Once this potion was successful, Lin Zhen's spiritual power would experience rapid growth.

After nearly a month of experiments, the research of the potion had made some progress.

"It is said that inside the Divine Punishment Star, Star Power is suppressed. Thus, Spiritual Power should be very useful there. However, I still lack three medicinal materials, which have already been purchased and are being shipped here. It seems that there won't be enough time to carefully study it before entering the Divine Punishment Star."

"If the Spiritual Power potion is successful, my Divine Infant will quickly break through to the Silver Stage, and even advance to the Golden Stage within a month, because I have the characteristics of the Black Hole Beast."

"A Golden Stage Divine Infant with a gun will also be my big trump card in the Divine Punishment Star."

Lin Zhen stretched his muscles and bones, recalling the scene of him and Ning Qingxuan meeting in the Dimensional Universe last night.

She was as beautiful as jade, but unfortunately still a little reserved. Otherwise, they could have satisfied their cravings in the Dimensional Universe.

But Lin Zhen was not in a hurry. Since he loved her, he would respect her and hoped that everything could happen naturally.

Not until an hour before the opening of Divine Punishment Star, the registration of everyone ended.

This event of the Original World attracted great attention, and almost all places had set up live streams so that they could see the situation of the Divine Punishment Star.

The rules came out this time as well.

One hundred billion participants in the Divine Punishment Star, ranked according to points. The top 100,000 people would be rewarded.

The top one to the hundredth could obtain a chance of tempering their Divine Body. From the 101st to the 100,000th, they could obtain the Qi of Divine Transformation to break through the World King Realm and enter Longevity.

The location of the Divine Punishment Star was in the Endless Star Sea. There was a planet slightly larger than Earth, which was afflicted by divine punishment. All living beings had turned into dead spirits.

The dead people on the planet were transformed into skeletons, the living ones turned into walking corpses, and animals turned into zombie animals. Their abilities were even stronger than when they were alive, somewhat similar to the mutated beasts of Earth's past.

Since the martial artists who participated in the competition had strong abilities, in order to balance their powers with the undead creatures, the deity had dropped divine might, suppressing all martial artists' powers to one percent.

Otherwise, if these World King powerhouses took action, they might destroy the planet.

Killing different undead creatures could earn points, and the more powerful the creature, the more points they would get.

Killing martial artists could earn half of their points, which would be a faster way to earn points than killing the undead in the late stage.

Initially, everyone's points were zero, and everyone started on the same finish line.

According to the ratio, there was a hundred undead creatures to one human martial artist. A total of 100 billion martial artists were on the planet, and the total number of undead creatures was 10 trillion.

When the number of undead creatures on the planet was lower than the number of martial artists, the challenge of the Divine Punishment Star would be considered complete.

At that time, the allocation of rewards would be based on the points ranking of the martial artists.

All martial artists participating in the Divine Punishment Star would be protected. The deity would grant each person a chance to be immune to death. When they received fatal injuries in the Divine Punishment Star, divine power would protect their lives without harm, but they would lose their qualifications to continue fighting and be eliminated.

This was also the reason why martial artists were eager to participate because if they were killed inside, there wouldn't be many people daring to try.

All countries in the Original World attached great importance to this battle.

The people of the Original World had beliefs, and to enter the ranks of Longevity Warriors was actually like becoming immortal gods in the eyes of others.

Each Longevity Warrior knew that there were some supreme beings in the Original World, and the opportunity to participate in the divine challenge, if their country achieved good results, might attract the gods' attention.

So in order to achieve good results, every country's contestants would make full preparations before the competition, aiming to shine in the Divine Punishment Star.

First, each country would request their contestants to strive for a ranking within the top 100,000.

Even if they couldn't make it within the top 100,000, there had to be contestants within the top one million or five million because there were only five million countries in the Original World. If a country could not have even one place within the top five million, the emperor of that country wouldn't be able to hold their head up in front of other emperors.

As a result, many countries would have a few seeded players to participate, so that the country wouldn't lose face.

In order to motivate martial artists to forge ahead, many countries had set up huge bonuses. Prizes started from entering the top 10 million, heavy awards for entering the top 5 million, and rewards for entering the top 2 million and one million!

This was also true for Nan Liang. Among the contestants, Liang Chen was not even considered a seed. The real top seeds were a few World Kings selected by Liang Zhihuan.

When the Divine Punishment Star was about to open, Liang Zhihuan specially encouraged all the contestants and stated that he would pay close attention to the situation of all Nan Liang participants throughout the competition.

Flipping through the list in his hand, Liang Zhihuan suddenly saw a name.

Lin Zhen!

Liang Zhihuan was stunned. Lin Zhen – wasn't he the one who fell into the spatial rift with the queen? Could it be someone with the same name?

But when he looked carefully at Lin Zhen's information, Liang Zhihuan couldn't help but frown. This Lin Zhen was indeed that Lin Zhen.

The woman who was his wife but whom he hadn't even touched. Yet this brat had held her, and Liang Zhihuan also suspected that during these two years that they had fallen into the spatial rift, Ning Qingxuan was with him all along.

Ning Qingxuan had not killed him, proving that they had already resolved their grievances. The thought of the two being together for two years made Liang Zhihuan feel a sour taste in his heart.

"Lin Zhen, sixth-grade alchemist, level eight domain king…."

"A level eight domain king would not possibly rank in the Divine Punishment Star. Among the billions of competitors, half are world kings, and a level eight domain king is nothing compared to them."

Liang Zhihuan told himself this, but still felt uneasy, and called for an inner attendant: "Go and send some supper for the queen, and tell her that I am busy with official affairs and won't be going to see her. Then ask her personal servant Xiaoya to come to see me; I have something to ask her."

The inner attendant agreed and left, and after a while, he brought a palace maid back with him.

The palace maid Xiaoya was someone Liang Zhihuan trusted. In fact, everyone in the palace belonged to her, but Xiaoya was the one he particularly trusted.

"How has the queen been lately?" Liang Zhihuan asked bluntly.

"Your Majesty, I've also heard some rumors lately saying that you and the queen don't get along, but don't believe those gossipmongers. In my opinion, the queen is just not good at expressing herself, but she actually already likes you."

"Oh? What makes you say that?"

"Hehe, this old slave has sharp eyes. Sometimes the queen will suddenly laugh when she's alone, and her laughter is so sweet that she will captivate all of us old slaves. If she's not in love, she wouldn't laugh like that."

Liang Zhihuan said nothing, but he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Also, I've made a surprising discovery: the queen has started to pay attention to the situation in Nan Liang and has been keeping an eye on the news of the Dimensional Universe and the Divine Punishment Star."

"What? She's paying attention to the Divine Punishment Star?"

Liang Zhihuan's face suddenly darkened. Even he did not have Ning Qingxuan's Dimensional Universe number, and as far as he knew, Ning Qingxuan never paid attention to the Dimensional Universe. He didn't believe that the queen would suddenly pay attention to a certain competitor.

Why would she suddenly pay attention to it now? Why? Why?

Was she concerned about Liang Chen? Logically speaking, that should be the case, but Liang Zhihuan instinctively felt that something was amiss.

An ominous premonition filled his heart, and coupled with the queen's recent refusal to let him approach her, Liang Zhihuan had the strange feeling that the crown on his head wasn't gold but rather somewhat greenish.

After deliberating for a while, Liang Zhihuan summoned several of the seed contestants who would be entering the Divine Punishment Star and instructed them to prevent Lin Zhen from ranking at any cost!

No matter what the relationship was between the queen and Lin Zhen, Liang Zhihuan was determined to nip such a bond in the bud!

The much-anticipated Divine Punishment Star was about to begin.

All of the eyes in the Original World were focused here. People from every country and region were supporting their local contestants, and the various support threads in the Dimensional Universe were surging one after the other.

However, Lin Zhen did not pay any attention to these matters. He had just received the last three medicinal materials needed for alchemy.

"As expected, the star power in the Divine Punishment Star is suppressed a hundred times. Thankfully, I started preparing for alchemy in advance, and the medicinal materials have finally arrived! With these three materials, I'll have an extra layer of protection in the Dimensional Universe, but alchemy still takes time!"

As he was thinking this, a countdown suddenly appeared in the Dimensional Universe.

This time it was a godly teleportation, directly to the Divine Punishment Star deep within the Endless Star Sea, without the need for the contestants to make their own way.

"10, 9, 8, 7, …"

Lin Zhen prepared everything and closed his eyes slightly.

"3, 2, 1, 0… Divine Punishment Star opens, teleportation begins!"

With a flash of white light before his eyes, Lin Zhen disappeared from the inn the next moment.

The space around him flowed, and the next second when Lin Zhen opened his eyes, he had arrived on a strange planet.

In the sky were eerie red clouds, a layer of yellow haze enveloped the air; this was a forbidden area for living beings and a domain of the dead!

Surrounding him were countless flickering stars, as numerous martial artists entered.

With the gathering of genius martial artists from all countries and regions in the Original World, a brutal elimination battle had begun!

Chapter 673: Chapter 675: The Time of Battle Begins (Part 3)

Upon entering the Divine Punishment Star, Lin Zhen felt his Star Power being greatly weakened.

An irresistible pressure compressed Lin Zhen's Star Power by a hundredfold, reducing it to forty thousand.

However, Lin Zhen was not worried, as this was not solely aimed at him. Every Martial Artist entering the Divine Punishment Star had their Star Power reduced a hundredfold. Everyone was still on an equal starting line.

His body landed on the ground, and Lin Zhen immediately surveyed his surroundings.

The landing spot of Lin Zhen was a wilderness. The billion Martial Artists were spread evenly across this planet, making the population similar to Earth during the Common Era.

As soon as Lin Zhen landed, not far from him, a beam of white light flashed past, revealing another Martial Artist.

This person was two meters tall, with a robust and sturdy body, and was a Level Eight Domain King.

"Ah! Divine Punishment Star, I've finally made it. This slot that cost me 1.2 trillion will be the first step towards my rise, Zhang Tianba!"

With that, the cold gaze of the Martial Artist fell on Lin Zhen.

"Tsk tsk! A Level Eight Domain King coming to the Divine Punishment Star is practically courting death. Even though there aren't any points now, I don't mind warming up with you."

Lin Zhen noticed the two words 'Bei Wei' on this Martial Artist's shoulder.

'Bei Wei' was the name of a nation, a vassal of the Wei Kingdom, and it bordered Nan Liang, which was quite coincidental.

Lin Zhen's shoulder also displayed the name 'Nan Liang' indicating his identity.

"Hehe, little guy, technically you don't have any points now. Bei Wei and Nan Liang are neighbors, and I should spare you, but I can't help myself. This is the real slaughterhouse. Remember to tell others after you get out that you were eliminated by Bei Wei's Feng Biao!"

Rumble!

The ground trembled. Feng Biao drew out a long spear and attacked Lin Zhen.

Everyone's Star Power had been suppressed by a hundredfold, so many previous battle strategies had to be altered — the scenes of moving heaven and earth would no longer occur.

Lin Zhen, with numerous experiences of combat in the arena, was well-versed in battling. Using the long-forgotten Plum Blossom Piles footwork, he dodged Feng Biao's strike. The Yin-Yang Spear in his hand lashed forward, killing with a single point!

The angle of his spear attack was unusually tricky, accompanied by the faint sound of booming thunder.

Feng Biao countered with his long spear, but Lin Zhen suddenly unleashed a Mental Shock. Although Feng Biao's power was impressive, his spiritual power was significantly inferior to Lin Zhen's.

In the brief moment Feng Biao was taken aback, Lin Zhen's forceful spear had already arrived. Yin-Yang Spear successfully hit!

"Pfft~!"

Blood splattered. Feng Biao, on the verge of death, was enveloped in a flash of green light, which immediately healed his wound.

The green light enveloped his body and whisked him away. Feng Biao was eliminated!

His eyes were filled with a strong sense of unwillingness, primarily incredulity.

A Level Eight Domain King was actually unable to withstand a single move from a Level Eight Domain King. Exactly how monstrous was this Domain King?

"What a pity, everyone's points are still zero. Killing an enemy doesn't yield any points. I should head to the town quickly to hunt undead creatures."

"Chris, analyze my current location."

"Yes, Master. There are four continents on this planet, and you have landed on the Eastern Continent of the Divine Punishment Star. The continent has been divided into various war zones, which are currently inaccessible from one another. They will only be opened once the number of undead creatures is reduced to below a hundred billion. Each continent has a hundred war zones. This is War Zone 68 of the Eastern Continent, with twenty-five million Martial Artists in each zone."

"Oh! Equal distribution."

"Yes, each war zone has a city. The city is the place where mutated beasts and walking corpses roam. There isn't much to gain in the wilderness, so to earn points, Master has to hurry into the city."

"Get into the city… Let's not rush into things. Everyone's points are low, entering the city would just mean hunting undead creatures everywhere, earning negligible points."

"Then, where does Master plan to go?"

"First, help me find a safe place. I need to rest for a while. I'll come back out after a while."

Chris immediately began searching: "Master, there is an abandoned mansion a hundred kilometers from here. There isn't even a single undead creature nearby. You can go there."

"Ok, I will head that way now." Lin Zhen attempted to summon his Double-Headed Demon Dragon, but he found that he couldn't summon it.

"Master, there is divine pressure here, you have to rely on your own strength. Transport pets can't be used."

"Well, since nobody else has them either. Fair enough."

Lin Zhen sprinted off, turning into a beam of light, heading directly towards the direction indicated by Chris.

In the wilderness, one after another, illusory figures swept past like the speed of wind and lightning. The Martial Artists were all advancing towards the city.

Some Martial Artists saw Lin Zhen sprinting in the other direction. They were tempted to stop but thinking of how everyone had zero points right now, they simply flew past.

The further he went, the fewer people he saw. Gradually, Lin Zhen couldn't spot any other people.

On his journey, Chris reminded Lin Zhen: "Master, the leaderboard is up already. You can view it anytime inside the Dimensional Universe."

A golden leaderboard appeared in Lin Zhen's vision.

Ranked first, Western Jin Empire, Ruan QiJue, No.5 Battle Zone of the Southern Continent, with 105 points!

Ranked second, South Sea Empire, Xie Tianxing, No.36 Battle Zone of the Eastern Continent, with 73 points.

Ranked third, Da Jin Empire, Situ Lang, No.91 Battle Zone of the Western Continent, with 72 points.

Ranked fourth….

Many of the seeded players they'd seen initially didn't make the list. At this beginning stage, the scores were highly erratic. The current ranking doesn't mean much.

A multitude of martial artists had zero points, all the way to over a thousand. Every subsequent rank was zero!

"Hehe, I killed someone yet got zero points. I wonder if this situation will be discovered by others."

"However, this is only temporary. Soon, they'll realize the Divine Punishment Star is a world of powerful Spiritual Mind Masters!"

After running for a while, he finally arrived at the residence Chris had mentioned.

This area, spanning dozens of miles, was completely deserted, as if it was a forgotten region.

"Great, there is no one around here. It's the perfect place for me to make a potion for spiritual power."

After the previous battle, Lin Zhen felt the importance of spiritual power in this Divine Punishment Star. As everyone's star power was quite low, they couldn't use some of their powerful moves. That's where his spiritual power came in handy.

Upon entering a room, he tidied up and camouflaged the surroundings to prevent disturbances from other people or undead creatures. Then, Lin Zhen took out his Pill Furnace and started alchemy right away.

The leaderboard was being closely watched in various places in the Original World and simultaneously broadcasted within the Dimensional Universe.

The same was true for Nan Liang. The names of all 1,000 participants were listed, and each one came with a detailed introduction.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Liang Zhihuan hosted a banquet for both civil and military officials, while also keeping an eye on the situation on the first day of the Divine Punishment Star.

Next to his throne, Ning Qingxuan, dressed in splendid palace attire, sat on another chair. Liang Zhihuan would occasionally become distracted by her pure and tender face.

He initially believed that Ning Qingxuan might not attend this banquet due to her quiet nature. However, to his surprise, she accepted his invitation, causing some suspicion within him.

At the banquet, the civil and military officials praised Liang Zhihuan's marital bliss with the queen.

"For this battle in the Divine Punishment Star, I believe our Nan Liang will definitely achieve excellent results. The situations of a thousand participants have been listed. Please read, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, the queen."

All eyes fell on the personnel list of Nan Liang.

What caught their eyes first was the current Crown Prince, Liang Chen!

One had to commend Liang Chen for his power and luck. The Divine Punishment Star had been active for only two hours, but his points were already among the best.

"Haha! My queen, look at Chen'er's points. He is ranked first in our Nan Liang, and even in the entire list, he is within the top billion!"

Liang Zhihuan immediately bragged to Ning Qingxuan, and indeed saw a gratified smile on her face.

"Chen'er is really striving hard. All my years of teaching weren't in vain."

"Haha! Your Majesty has contributed greatly. I do know that."

Liang Zhihuan signaled for the screen to scroll further, to view the situation of the other martial artists.

Among the 1,000 martial artists, three had already been eliminated. After almost an hour, nearly everyone had earned some points, more or less.

Each martial artist's performance was reported to the Emperor and his queen. Liang Zhihuan listened quietly while watching Ning Qingxuan's expression. However, the queen seemed indifferent as if she was not interested.

He waved his hand, signaling the reporter to speed things up.

Soon, the names and scores of nearly 900 people floated across the screen. The ones at the bottom had very few points, mostly in single digits.

However, to their surprise, someone at the very bottom had zero points!

Upon seeing the name of this person, Liang Zhihuan showed a slight smile, and then his face turned serious again: "Why is there still a person with zero points? Check who this person is. It's a disgrace to our Nan Liang!"

"Your Majesty, this person is named Lin Zhen, a Great Elder from the Alchemist Guild."

"Lin Zhen…..it seems I've heard this name somewhere. What's his realm?"

"Level Eight Domain King!"

"That explains it. Even a Level Eight Domain King may enter the Divine Punishment Star. It seems alchemists do have money. This must be someone who bribed their way in. Letting such a person remain here, he's pulling down the overall level of our Nan Liang. Skip quickly to the top, don't let such trash tarnish the eyes of the queen."

He sneakily glanced at Ning Qingxuan's face as he spoke, with a probing intent.

Ning Qingxuan waited patiently for Liang Zhihuan to finish before she slowly started, "Although I have not participated in the battles of the Divine Punishment Star, everyone can kill the undead. Only those who can kill enemies can laugh last. I see that at the end, Lin Zhen has killed an enemy. The others have many points, but few have killed any enemy, right?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Zhen and saw that, indeed, Lin Zhen had zero points but had a kill count of 1.

Hearing Ning Qingxuan's words, Liang Zhihuan laughed and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, the queen knows Lin Zhen. What do you think of Lin Zhen's strength?"

Ning Qingxuan's face didn't show much change, "I've had a brief encounter with him before, and his strength is quite impressive. He probably hasn't been going all out yet."

"Really? But I think he won't make it. I'm sure he's destined to be eliminated."

"That's not the case. I think he'll get a good ranking." Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly. Although she seemed indifferent, she didn't want to give an inch when it came to Lin Zhen, even to the emperor. In Ning Qingxuan's heart, the emperor was just the emperor, not her lover.

"How about a small bet? If Lin Zhen can make it to the top five million, I'll reward him with something."

"What kind of reward?" Ning Qingxuan asked.

Seeing Ning Qingxuan asking this, Liang Zhihuan felt a sour taste in his heart: "Free access to all teleportation arrays in the Nan Liang Country! If he can't enter the top five million, then the queen will have to dine with me every day."

Ning Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "What if he enters the top one million?"

"That's even better. Since he's an alchemist, the royal medicinal materials warehouse will be open to him, and he can purchase whatever he wants."

"What about within a hundred thousand?" Ning Qingxuan asked with a tilted head, a hint of a smile on her face.

"Half-priced materials!"

"What about within ten thousand?"

"The queen must be joking. If he can enter the top ten thousand, we'll sell him the materials at a 90% discount!"

"What about within a thousand?" Ning Qingxuan continued to ask.

Liang Zhihuan laughed, "If he can enter the top thousand, I'll go out to welcome him dressed in red, treating him as a hero. It's just a shame that he might not live up to my expectations!"

Entering the top thousand was simply a dream in Liang Zhihuan's view.

"Your Majesty better not make too many promises. In case he actually obtains the chance to temper his divine body, how will you clean up the mess then?"

"The queen shouldn't overestimate him. No one from our Nan Liang Empire has ever had the chance to temper their divine body on the Divine Punishment Star. If that ever happens, as long as he doesn't want my throne, I can grant him anything."

"Your Majesty has spoken, and this concubine will remember your words!" Ning Qingxuan slightly nodded and didn't say anything more.

"What if he can't do it?" Liang Zhihuan asked.

"You're the emperor, what you say is what happens."

The conversation between the two was transmitted secretly, so the civil and military officials below could not hear anything. However, the fact that Ning Qingxuan could speak like this proved that Lin Zhen was important to her.

Liang Zhihuan snorted coldly and didn't continue to speak. In his heart, he thought that even if Ning Qingxuan and Lin Zhen had feelings for each other, it was nothing concrete. As long as Lin Zhen failed on the Divine Punishment Star, Ning Qingxuan would be disappointed in him. At that time, he would get her body, and she would lean towards him sooner or later.

For the sake of Ning Qingxuan, he could temporarily endure all of this.

As for Lin Zhen's ranking, he was not worried at all. A Level Eight Domain King would probably not even last half the time before being eliminated!

Moreover, Liang Zhihuan had another trump card. Lin Zhen was in the Eastern Continent's 68th battle zone, where there were also seven other Nan Liang martial artists, including a seeded player, his chief guard, known as Feng Dao's Shi Xiaomao.

"I've already informed Shi Xiaomao about Lin Zhen. I'm sure he won't let me down. As for Lin Zhen's final ranking, he might not even make it through the time when the border opens…"

The battles on the Divine Punishment Star had already been going on for more than twenty days.

During these twenty days, the people from the Original World witnessed the talents of individuals from various countries.

Many seeded players undoubtedly shined brilliantly, but there were still many dark horses emerging, dominating in various battle zones. Almost every day, there were news of seeded players being defeated.

At the very beginning, the competition was the most intense, and that was when the most eliminations occurred.

In order to occupy a good position in the city, martial artists fought each other and eliminated more than a billion people within the first day.

After twenty consecutive days, half of the hundreds of billions of participants had already been eliminated!

During this lengthy battle, the situation in each battle zone had relatively stabilized, and the number of undead creatures was gradually decreasing.

Each region had many legends about powerful warriors. In every city street, there were recognized strong individuals ruling, and in order for these martial artists to survive, they allied with each other, formed alliances, hunted down enemies, and engaged in endless conspiracies and killings.

Undead creatures would also occasionally launch counterattacks against the martial artists. A series of spectacular dramas were continually being staged, which greatly entertained the people of the Original World.

However, at this point, the pace of elimination had slowed down and entered a stable period.

Those with weaker strength had mostly been eliminated in the earlier stages. Now, this was the real stage for the talented individuals to shine.

The previous rankings changed constantly like a carousel, and no one could truly dominate the others.

However, at this point, all of the martial artists entering the Original World had earned some points one way or another, except for Lin Zhen from Nan Liang Empire, who was also the Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild, who still had a big zero!

This matter became the object of many people's ridicule.

In the eyes of others, the only explanation for Lin Zhen's zero points was that he was hiding and not daring to participate in the battles.

Although he had defeated someone, maybe he was injured and didn't dare to come out again. Such a coward would never make a name for himself on the Divine Punishment Star.

In an abandoned mansion, Lin Zhen held a row of potion bottles in his hand.

These potions had been refined by Lin Zhen during this period, and it was his second time to absorb them.

The last absorption was twenty days ago, and Lin Zhen's Divine Infant had advanced from the Late Bronze Stage to the Silver Middle Stage.

This time, after absorption, he could at least reach the Silver peak! Even the Golden Stage!

Lin Zhen opened his mouth, and a black hole appeared in his throat, looking rather horrifying.

He gently inhaled towards the row of potion bottles, and all the potions were instantly devoured by him.

"Hiss~!"

As the massive potion power entered his Spiritual Consciousness Sea, Lin Zhen gasped heavily!

In the core of the Spiritual Consciousness Sea, the half bronze-colored and half silver-colored Divine Infant began to change!

After being infused with potion power, the bronze color began to rapidly fade, and large areas of skin began to undergo silverization.

If this were someone else, even if they had the spiritual power potion, they would not be able to advance their spiritual power so quickly. Only Lin Zhen's Black Hole Devour was the fastest way to advance.

From the Silver Middle Stage, he rushed all the way to the Silver Late Stage, and then to the Silver peak!

At the end, the Divine Infant's body was covered with silver, and then a bit of golden light appeared in the center of his brow!

This absorption not only helped Lin Zhen break through the Silver Late Stage but also reached the Golden Early Stage!

But now, the power of the potion was still not exhausted. It continued to help him breakthrough!

Eventually, Lin Zhen's spiritual power stabilized at twenty percent golden!

The hands and feet of his Divine Infant had turned into a dazzling golden color.

"Whew! This is what a Spiritual Mind Master is like. My current spiritual power must have surpassed most of the World Kings, and I have made a place for myself in this Divine Punishment Star."

"The essence of fighting in Divine Punishment Star has returned to its original state when everyone was a War General or a War God. The hundredfold Star Power suppression coupled with the tremendous gravity here makes it impossible for everyone to display their real strength. Even flying is not possible here. Only those with extremely powerful spiritual power can control objects and proceed at low altitude. There is not much difference from my time on Earth."

"Now that I have this powerful spiritual power, I might as well refine my Seven Stars Knife again. This is the weapon of a Spiritual Mind Master, and I can't always rely on the Divine Infant."

Lin Zhen's Seven Stars Knife, Lightning Wings, and Light Annihilation were of little use due to their low levels, except for the Lightning Wings, which still had some usefulness.

Lin Zhen had no way to refine the Light Annihilation for the time being, but the Seven Stars Knife was different.

Inside Lin Zhen's Dark Star World, there was a small tree and a small hill nurturing it.

Spatial turbulence surrounded the edges of the hill, which Lin Zhen had brought along when he collected it. After years in the spatial turbulence, the small hill had become one with it, and it couldn't even land completely in the Dark Star Space.

Left with no choice, Lin Zhen suspended the hill above a basin and formed a Suspended Island.

This spatial turbulence was even purer than the energy elements Lin Zhen himself possessed.

When Lin Zhen initially refined the Seven Stars Knife, his technique wasn't very skilled, so the knife was only an Artifact level weapon. This time, he would modify the Seven Stars Knife, infusing it with the chaotic energy from the spatial turbulence and merging it with the power of space!

Lin Zhen had several furnaces, including not only the Pill Furnace but also the furnace used by the Star Shift Masters.

Taking out this furnace, Lin Zhen began to refine the Seven Stars Knife again.

First, he removed the energy from the Seven Stars Knife, turning it back into an attributeless Meteorite Iron. Then, Lin Zhen began to absorb energy from the spatial turbulence!

This process was not simple, and Lin Zhen estimated that it would take him about three days to complete!

However, once he had refined the knife, it would be time for him to leave seclusion!

In the Eastern Continent 68th city, also known as the only city in the Sixty-Eighth Battle Zone.

A strong wind blew through the ruined streets, filling the air with the smell of blood. Walking corpses roamed the streets, moving with a twisted gait.

These walking corpses were the lowest level of undead creatures on this planet, the easiest to kill, and the best source of Points.

However, after the initial battles, these low-level walking corpses have become quite rare, with only a few remaining high-level undead creatures.

A Martial Artist hidden in the shadows saw these walking corpses and suddenly rushed out from the dark.

With the longsword in his hand flashing like lightning, he aimed to take down the few points!

At this moment, another Martial Artist descended from a high-rise building by the side of the road!

He wielded a five-meter-long guandao, spinning it like a windmill, before smashing it down like a cannonball!

"Not good! These walking corpses are bait!"

The swordsman realized that he was in trouble but couldn't escape in time. The guandao-wielding Martial Artist charged forward, and the bright blade light enveloped him like a sky-covered net. If not for the protection of the divine green light, he would have been torn to pieces by now.

The swordsman was declared dead and was eliminated from the competition while wrapped in the green light, feeling unwilling.

"Feng Dao Shi Xiaomao, you son of a bitch!" The swordsman roared and then vanished.

"Humph! Nothing but a trash that can only talk!" The man with the guandao stood upright. He was the number one expert of Canglan Street, Feng Dao Shi Xiaomao!

Chapter 675: Chapter 677: The Seven Stars Knife is Completed

Seeing the man wielding a large knife, the walking corpses immediately roared and charged at him.

The man sneered, using his Spiritual Power to send out a white rope that bound the walking corpses, rendering them unable to free themselves no matter how much they struggled and roared.

"Not bad, killing an opponent earned me 520 Points."

At this point, several Martial Artists appeared and gave a thumbs up to Shi Xiaomao.

"Boss, you're truly the number one expert on Canglan Street. The bait you used was perfect; you killed that idiot in one strike."

"Yeah, boss, your knife skills are truly breathtaking. I think you have a chance to get into the top 100,000 in this Divine Punishment Star event."

Facing his underlings' praise, Shi Xiaomao's mouth twitched, "Is it that easy to get into the top 100,000? It requires not only strength but also luck. Some people may have exceptional strength, capable of reaching the top 10,000, but end up being killed by someone stronger. Some people are cautious and hide, ending up with a good ranking. Who can be sure?"

A man wielding a Flower Axe said, "Boss, you're talking about Lin Zhen, right? That guy is in the same war zone as us, but it's been almost a month, and he still has zero points. I don't know which mouse hole he crawled into."

"Yeah, this kid hasn't shown his face at all. We've been looking everywhere for him during this time, but we haven't found him. How are we supposed to fulfill His Majesty's entrusted mission?"

"How about we stop looking for him for now and focus on earning more points?"

Feng Dao shook his head slightly, "No, I must find Lin Zhen. I am His Majesty's chief guard, and I cannot defy orders!"

"Boss, why is His Majesty so obsessed with eliminating Lin Zhen? Although he is an Alchemist, he is just a World King and not a big deal."

Feng Dao hesitated for a moment, "I'm not very clear about this either, but there's a rumor you may have heard."

A Martial Artist suddenly said, "I've heard that Lin Zhen had an affair with the queen!"

This statement was like a drop of water in hot oil, causing the Martial Artists to explode.

"What! How dare Lin Zhen defile the queen!?"

"No way, the queen could crush him with one finger!"

"I think it's possible, otherwise why would His Majesty insist so much on eliminating him? Things between men and women are hard to say."

Feng Dao waved his hand to stop their discussion, "This is not something we should be worried about. You guys should think about how to find Lin Zhen. Otherwise, I won't have any spare time to stay in this Northwest City District."

"Boss, why don't we go find the Wolfman boss? He has so many subordinates and must know a lot. Maybe we can find Lin Zhen."

Wolfman was the number one expert in the entire Northwest City District and one of the top ten experts in the 68th war zone.

After a series of tests, the Martial Artists could no longer see the overall ranking, only the small rankings within the 68th war zone.

Because even each war zone may have experts, it doesn't necessarily mean they can stand out compared to experts from other war zones. The constant shifts in first place led the Deity to temporarily close the overall leaderboard.

Only when the borders between the war zones open up will they be able to see the overall situation.

At present, Feng Dao led dozens of people and occupied Canglan Street, becoming a local gang leader. But he had to submit to Wolfman; otherwise, he wouldn't survive in the Northwest City District.

"Alright, I'll contact the Wolfman boss."

In the Dimensional Universe of the Divine Punishment Star, communication with the outside world is forbidden to prevent contact between inhabitants and outsiders. However, the Martial Artists discovered and temporarily used some mobile phones and other communication equipment that they found here.

Feng Dao took out his phone and dialed Wolfman's number.

"Wolfman boss, it's me… I want to ask you about a person. His name is Lin Zhen, about 1.9 meters tall, a fair-faced guy… Yes, yes! Please help me check if anyone has seen his whereabouts… Okay, I'll wait for your news. Thank you, boss."

After hanging up the phone and waiting for a while, Wolfman's message arrived.

"On the first day of entering, someone saw Lin Zhen head towards the wilderness in the northwest."

Feng Dao put away his phone, his face revealing a cold, cruel smile, "As expected, a rat-like creature has really hidden itself. When I find your rat hole, I'll see where else you can hide!"

He whistled, and shadows emerged from the buildings on both sides of the street.

"Boss! You called us!"

"Boss, what do you need us for?"

"Is there more prey to hunt?"

These people were recruited by Feng Dao during this time. Half of the current Martial Artists belonged to factions, while the other half were lone rangers. Life was getting harder for the lone rangers, with more and more people choosing to join a faction. Feng Dao had a total of eighteen men under him.

"Let's go, brothers! Our target is the wilderness in the northwest. Let's hunt for an annoying rat. If we succeed, I guarantee everyone will be rewarded, because you know whom my identity represents, hahaha!"

"It turns out we're doing something for the Emperor of Nanliang. No doubt there will be hundreds of millions of rewards, befitting an emperor."

"Let's go, let's go! My steel knife is already impatient!"

Feng Dao took the lead, followed by his eighteen subordinates, quickly heading northwest.

As they left, he used his spiritual power to recall the rope binding the walking corpses and swung his knife, creating a bright and shining cut through space which immediately bisected the few walking corpses he had used as bait!

The blade light didn't stop and directly hit a three-story building behind, causing it to collapse in the light of the blade.

The fact that the suppressed hundredfold Star Power produced such power with just a casual strike left many martial artists secretly astonished.

The room Lin Zhen was in now seemed like a magical house, constantly changing colors.

"Blue Ice! Shape the knife!"

Lin Zhen extracted the freezing air from the Spatial Turbulence, injecting it into a knife, and then took a strand of purple energy from the Dark Star Space and struck it into the knife.

The blade shimmered, and a half-foot-long hidden weapon, the flying knife, was formed!

Holding the flying knife, Lin Zhen examined it up and down, nodding with satisfaction: "As expected, this knife forged by Spatial Turbulence Energy has reached the level of a Top Quality Heavenly Tool. If this knife had a spirit, it would become a spiritual treasure!"

Setting the Ice Knife down, Lin Zhen now had six flying knives around him.

Red fire, blue ice, green wind, purple light, yellow earth, orange metal – he only needed one more Thunder Blade to complete his Seven Stars Knife.

Taking advantage of the heat, Lin Zhen put the mold for the last Seven Stars Knife into the furnace, extracting the lightning and injecting it into the knife.

About three hours later, thunder fell from the sky, striking the house's roof, piercing through the ceiling, and forming the Thunder Knife!

Lin Zhen's eyes were tightly closed, his hair flying around while the Seven Stars Knife swirled around him, emitting humming sounds.

It was like seven planets orbiting the sun, moving at high speed without touching each other.

With Lin Zhen's current Spiritual Power, controlling this new Seven Stars Knife had become incredibly easy.

The Golden Early Stage Spiritual Power began to spread outward, enveloping the surrounding space like mercury flowing on the ground.

Everything around, from the rustling wind to the swaying grass, was within Lin Zhen's control.

"Hmm … someone is coming. It seems they have ill intentions."

Lin Zhen raised his hand, put away the Seven Stars Knife, and stood by the window.

He saw a group of martial artists approaching quickly from the distant fields, purposefully surrounding Lin Zhen's house.

"I've been staying here, minding my own business, and yet so many people come to surround me. It seems like they came well-prepared."

Seeing the word "Nan Liang" on the sleeve of the leading martial artist, Lin Zhen could roughly guess why these people had come.

It wouldn't be possible to completely hide his involvement with Ning Qingxuan from Liang Zhihuan's eyes. In Lin Zhen's view, although Ning Qingxuan was outstanding in strength, she was too straightforward, not a good actress, couldn't deceive others, and would definitely be discovered.

Moreover, he and Ning Qingxuan returned to the Original World on the same day. Liang Zhihuan would definitely find out about this. The suspicion he would have if a man and woman were together for more than two years would be natural.

But no matter how the other side thought about it, since they wanted to find trouble with him, Lin Zhen would never back down, no matter if he was an emperor or anyone else.

"Since you don't want the best for me, I'll send you a welcome gift first!"

"One, two, three, four … nineteen people in total, eleven World Kings, eight Domain Kings. I'll start by clearing out these miscellaneous soldiers, and eliminate these Domain Kings."

Inside the Nan Liang Imperial Palace, Liang Zhihuan was hosting a banquet entertaining two neighboring emperors.

One was the Bei Wei Emperor and the other was from Xi Zhou.

The three great nations, Da Liang, Da Wei, and Da Zhou were allies, each relying on each other, and each with similar national power, surviving among the powerful countries of the Original World.

As for Nan Liang, Bei Wei, and Xi Zhou, the three affiliated countries were adjacent to each other and had always been on good terms, with frequent exchanges.

This time, the Bei Wei Emperor and the Xi Zhou Emperor visited together to celebrate Liang Zhihuan's ascension to the throne of Nan Liang, and naturally, Liang Zhihuan held a grand banquet to welcome them.

As the queen, Ning Qingxuan had to attend the banquet.

The Bei Wei queen and Xi Zhou queen also came, and the two women's eyes occasionally darted towards Ning Qingxuan, revealing their jealousy.

Why was this woman so eye-catching that she attracted their emperor husbands' attention and made them feel so annoyed?

The Bei Wei Emperor and Xi Zhou Emperor were even more envious of Liang Zhihuan. Besides their two countries, even in the entire Da Wei and Da Zhou, they couldn't find a more beautiful woman than Ning Qingxuan. Liang Zhihuan was really lucky.

With his beautiful wife beside him, overshadowing the other women, Liang Zhihuan was feeling relaxed and couldn't help raising his glass frequently.

Seeing Liang Zhihuan so flamboyant, the Bei Wei Emperor and Xi Zhou Emperor looked at each other, feeling they should put a damper on his arrogance.

They couldn't find a better woman than Ning Qingxuan to compare, but what was the hottest topic right now?

It was, of course, the Divine Punishment Star!

They had indeed investigated, and there was a martial artist in Nan Liang whose Points were still zero – the only one on the entire Divine Punishment Star. They would start there.

Chapter 676: Chapter 678: Crazy Jump in Rankings! (Third Update)

Xi Zhou Emperor coughed to interrupt Liang Zhihuan's endless talking, then slowly said, "Brother Liang, it's such a coincidence this time. I see that quite a few martial artists from our three countries are in the 68th battle zone of the Eastern Continent. What do you think?"

Liang Zhihuan frowned slightly, with thousands of participants from each country, what was the coincidence in being in the same battle zone? What's special about the 68th zone? Did something happen there?

The other two queens were trying to get Ning Qingxuan drunk, who was not good at socializing, so she could only hold her cup and cope.

However, hearing the words of the Xi Zhou Emperor, Ning Qingxuan couldn't help but put down her wine glass and cast her eyes on him.

Seeing that his topic caught the attention of this beauty, the Xi Zhou Emperor was even more proud and said loudly, "Our three countries have similar strength in the Original World, and although we are not powerful, our Xi Zhou men are all good. We would never send out cowards who are afraid of fighting and only know how to live a wretched life!"

The Bei Wei Emperor immediately echoed, "Brother Zhou is right, our Bei Wei men are also full of iron and bone. Even if we are no match, we dare to go out and fight!"

Liang Zhihuan took a sip of wine, "Elder brothers, I don't quite understand your words, are you implying that the people of my Nanliang are cowards?"

"Hehe! Most of your people in Nan Liang are naturally good, like your son, Brother Liang, who is very promising. But you should also pay attention to the selection of participants, not to let a rat spoil the whole pot."

Xi Zhou Emperor laughed, "As far as I know, isn't there a martial artist from Nan Liang with zero points? He's quite famous in the whole Original World."

"Yes, we've heard about it in Bei Wei too. Nowadays, even when martial arts teachers teach their students, they say, don't just learn martial arts, but also cultivate your own courage, otherwise, you'll be like that Lin Zhen from Nan Liang, who doesn't even dare to fight, becoming a negative example, which is really laughable, hahaha!"

Liang Zhihuan's face changed, and he glanced at Ning Qingxuan.

He originally thought that by using Lin Zhen's matter and betting with Ning Qingxuan, he would win her heart by winning. However, he didn't expect that he would lose face abroad.

However, he didn't feel very embarrassed. If anyone should feel embarrassed, it should be Ning Qingxuan.

Compared to losing some face, completely defeating Lin Zhen and making Ning Qingxuan loathe him more is more important.

In a flash, Liang Zhihuan made up his mind.

"Hehe! I need to clarify this matter. Lin Zhen's spot came directly from the Alchemist Association. He is a Great Elder of the Alchemist Association. Although he is still a Nan Liang commoner, the Alchemist Association protects him, and I am also helpless."

Bei Wei Emperor and Xi Zhou Emperor nodded their heads, acknowledging the power of the Alchemist Association, which was not inferior to any empire.

"If this person weren't part of the association, how could he get a spot with that ability? I would rather kill him than let him lose face. I really made a fool of myself, and I apologize to both elder brothers."

At this time, the queen of Bei Wei, a beautiful woman, suddenly spoke up.

"Emperor of Nan Liang, my palace has heard a rumor that your current queen knows this Lin Zhen, and it's said that the two of them were swallowed by a space rift together and stayed together for two years. Is this true?"

Liang Zhihuan's face suddenly darkened, thinking that bad news really spread far and wide, as this matter was even known to people from other countries.

Inwardly, he hated the informer and wished he could skin and bone them, but now he had to smile, "Wei Queen is overstating things, my wife and Lin Zhen are actually enemies, they were forced to be swallowed together, and it was beyond anyone's control."

"Hehe! It seems that it's true. So, I want to ask Queen Ning, why didn't you kill such a cowardly person like Lin Zhen while you were in that space together?"

The Xi Zhou Queen also joined in, "Indeed, what's the use of leaving such a person? It's humiliating. Does this person have a good-looking face? Or does he have some kind of ability that enchants people and makes the Queen reluctant to part with?"

Facing the difficulties of the two queens and Liang Zhihuan trying to kick her while she's down, Ning Qingxuan slowly spoke up.

"Lin Zhen is not my enemy, but my benefactor. The matter of Hua Hua Taisui is no secret, and I believe you all know that it was Lin Zhen who killed him. Can I repay kindness with hostility and kill him in the space? Or are you the type of person who would kill for your own reputation? If so, I really wonder how you managed to become emperors and queens!"

Ning Qingxuan, with her beautiful face, had an overwhelming righteousness that made people dare not look straight at her. The confidence of the strong was fully displayed at this moment, and her eyes swept over those people who couldn't bear to meet her gaze.

Moreover, she wasn't wrong in not killing Lin Zhen at that time. As for the two of them gradually developing feelings, it was due to Lin Zhen's meticulous care and the intimacy they shared through the nights over those two years.

Ning Qingxuan had sincerely felt that Lin Zhen's character and nature were good, which was why she gradually accepted him.

At this moment, those with ulterior motives couldn't help but suspect Ning Qingxuan and Lin Zhen's relationship.

Only Liang Zhihuan secretly hated that Ning Qingxuan was completely swayed by Lin Zhen, constantly protecting him.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Xi Zhou Emperor continued, "But it's undeniable that Lin Zhen still has zero points now, and he is indeed a part of Nan Liang. I'm afraid Queen Ning must have been somewhat blinded back then."

Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly, "I trust him."

The tone was resolute, and the others didn't know how to respond for a moment.

In the end, it was the empress of Xi Zhou who said hatefully: "Queen Ning, defending a man of another country like this doesn't fit your status, does it? Moreover, this man is so incompetent, aren't you afraid that the words you say can't be taken back, and you won't be able to save face?"

The others also chimed in, including Liang Zhihuan: "Xuan'er, I know that you see your benefactor in a different light, but you need to be rational, what can Lin Zhen do? Even if he's disgraced, it's Alchemist Association's problem, I won't take the blame."

Listening to the constant ridicule of Lin Zhen, Ning Qingxuan kept her head down and remained silent. She wasn't good at arguing, and facts spoke louder than words. Now that Lin Zhen had zero points, it was difficult to convince others no matter what she said.

Seeing that Ning Qingxuan finally fell silent, the two queens smirked. They had finally found an opportunity to hit her hard. They moved closer to her and kept talking nonstop, becoming more and more vicious and sarcastic, making it hard to listen.

"Lin Zhen…what are you doing?"

Ning Qingxuan felt powerless, and misty tears started to form in her eyes.

On the other side, the Bei Wei emperor pointed at a Domain King of Bei Wei: "Look, our Domain King is also in the sixty-eighth district. He is only a seventh-level Domain King, but now he has more than five hundred points. Although his ranking is not high, he has killed two people. Compared to Lin Zhen, it's like the difference between Heaven and Earth."

Saying that, he also displayed the Domain King's information, introducing him as he spoke.

At this moment, on the rolling big screen, the name of this Domain King suddenly turned black!

Black means being eliminated!

As the emperor was introducing him, he was eliminated. This slap in the face was anything but light.

The Bei Wei emperor's face immediately turned ugly: "Dammit, what a terrible timing."

With that, he directly connected to this Domain King's Dimensional Universe. Because when a martial artist is eliminated, they will be automatically teleported to their own country by divine power, and the Dimensional Universe can already be connected.

The big screen appeared in front of everyone, and the Bei Wei emperor pointed at the screen and cursed.

"What the hell are you trying to pull? You got eliminated just now? Are you intentionally doing this to me?"

The Domain King had just been eliminated and was immediately scolded by the emperor. He didn't dare to express his grievance and had to complain: "Your Majesty, it's not my fault. The opponent's Domain King was too strong. As soon as he appeared, he killed several of us in seconds!"

"Are you trying to deceive me? I heard from people who came out earlier that in your battle area, you have already joined an organization with many people. How could you still be killed in a second by a Domain King?"

"That's right, that's right, we did join an organization. Oh! The leader of the organization is Shi Xiaomao, the captain of the Nanliang Imperial Palace Guard. He brought us to kill someone today. We were spotted as soon as we appeared, and that person suddenly attacked. I didn't even see what happened before I was killed with a single slash."

"The Nanliang Imperial Palace Guard Captain?" The Bei Wei emperor looked to Liang Zhihuan, seeking an answer.

"Shi Xiaomao? Who did he take you to kill?" Liang Zhihuan asked urgently, could it be that they wanted to deal with Lin Zhen? Then Lin Zhen would be eliminated soon.

"I don't know! He led us there, and we just went. Oh, someone from Nanliang has also been eliminated, so he should know."

Liang Zhihuan quickly checked the situation on the Divine Punishment Star. Indeed, two Domain King-level martial artists from Nanliang had been eliminated.

Before he could find the two men to inquire, he suddenly heard Ning Qingxuan's exclamation.

He looked back and saw Ning Qingxuan covering her red lips with her white, jade-like hand, her beautiful eyes full of excitement. The joy she emitted could be felt from far away.

A sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, and he looked back at the rankings of the Divine Punishment Star, only to see a series of numbers that surprised him.

Lin Zhen, who previously had zero points, now had three thousand five hundred! Ranking 706,885 in the sixty-eighth battle area!

"This… this…"

Before Liang Zhihuan could finish speaking, Lin Zhen's ranking skyrocketed again!

The points went from three thousand five hundred to four thousand three hundred, and his rank was 674,598!

From four thousand three hundred to six thousand one hundred, his rank was 587,901!

And it kept jumping from six thousand one, and it kept rising!

It was still going up like crazy!

Chapter 677: Chapter 679: Lin Zhen's Killing Spree! (Fourth Update)

Within the Divine Punishment Star, Lin Zhen saw the martial artists approaching slowly, their spiritual power invisibly spreading out.

His first target was the eight World Kings around him.

Eight World Kings, eight directions, it wasn't easy to kill them all at once.

Especially, one World King was following closely behind the leading Ninth-Level World King, making it the most difficult target to deal with.

The group approached the yard, which was surrounded by a fence more than a meter high.

Shi Xiaomao quietly raised his hand and then swiftly waved it downwards.

"Everyone, charge!"

Nineteen people leaped up at once!

"Shoo Shoo Shoo Shoo Shoo Shoo Shoo~~~!!!"

It was like a flower blossoming in the yard, as seven streams of light shot out simultaneously!

Or rather, they didn't shoot out but flashed for a moment before suddenly arriving!

All of the light seemed to leap through space, suddenly appearing on the forehead of the target person, giving no reaction time at all and piercing in instantly!

Seven people were still jumping lively when they leaped up, but when they fell, their bodies were wrapped in green light and directly killed, eliminating them from the contest!

"Watch out, those hands are stabbing!"

Feng Dao shouted loudly, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen had already charged out.

The Yin-Yang Spear in his hand turned into a poisonous dragon and instantly reached the front!

"Damn it~! Lin Zhen, you dare to be arrogant in front of me, Feng Dao! You're asking for death!"

Feng Dao's forte was frontal combat, and the Splashing Wind Blade Skill was his famous martial technique. Seeing Lin Zhen daring to attack him head-on, he instantly felt his blood boiling and swung his blade to meet the attack!

Lin Zhen took a deep breath without exhaling and 40,000 Star Power surged through his body, without the slightest hesitation, he went on the offensive!

Ever since Lin Zhen incubated the Destructive God Thunder in the Black Hole, his attack speed had exceeded sub-light speed, and even in the strength-reducing Divine Punishment Star, his attack speed was still above a hundred times the speed of sound.

The two of them fought quickly, and in just one second, they both launched thousands of attacks!

Within a range of five meters, nothing else could be seen, only a blur of blade lights and spear shadows, along with countless Mars!

"Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang~~!!"

Shi Xiaomao's Splashing Wind Blade Skill met someone faster than him for the first time!

He had no time to attack and could only desperately swing his long blade to resist Lin Zhen's storm-like onslaught!

"Whoosh~!"

Lin Zhen suddenly withdrew his spear, and the clouds cleared!

Shi Xiaomao was stunned, and his blade slowed for a moment. Lin Zhen accelerated time!

With this spear as fast as lightning, Shi Xiaomao didn't even have time to brandish his blade and could only lean back slightly. The spear's light barely grazed his shoulder, but it nailed the World King behind him!

The green light flickered, and the last World King was eliminated.

Withdrawing his long spear, it was done!

The battle with Shi Xiaomao lasted only one and a half seconds from start to finish!

Raising his hand, the Seven Stars Knife circled around Lin Zhen. His eyes swept over the crowd: "Are you all here to kill me?"

At this point, Shi Xiaomao was already soaked in cold sweat and no longer looked down on Lin Zhen. Now he realized that the task Liang Zhihuan had given him was not easy.

"Boss Feng Dao, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, Boss Feng Dao, we're here, let's deal with this kid together!"

One by one, the World Kings hurried to Feng Dao's side, giving him some reassurance.

At this moment, a Fourth-Level World King cursed loudly, "Lin Zhen! You just pick on the weak, what kind of hero are you!"

"It seems that I've made a mistake. Killing those weaklings doesn't earn many points. Here, I need to kill World Kings to earn more. Alright, I apologize, I'll correct it now and kill you all!"

Lin Zhen had been suppressing himself for a month, and there were more than ten million martial artists in this war zone. After killing eight people just now, his rank suddenly jumped to within a million!

All these martial artists had been here for a month, and he took half of everyone's points to achieve his current rank.

But that wasn't enough; he had to strive for more points and get a higher rank!

With a light step, he didn't pick on the weak this time but charged again at the strongest opponent, Feng Dao!

Feng Dao was still somewhat in shock, and as he saw Lin Zhen attacking again, he instinctively felt a bit of fear, but there were ten World Kings around him. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, charge together!"

Without Feng Dao's call, Lin Zhen's willingness to face the strongest directly was like ignoring these ten World Kings. Usually, these World Kings wouldn't even look them in the eye when they saw World Kings, and they couldn't stand Lin Zhen's provocation.

Ten people, plus Feng Dao, a total of eleven World Kings began to gang up on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen sneered, "Bring it on; this is more interesting!"

"Mental Evil Shock!"

The first strike was the Mental Evil Shock, a more potent shock method than the Mental Shock. It originally came from a World King called Yama, but today, Lin Zhen's strike surpassed the original power!

The cursing Fourth-Level World King was the first to be affected!

The reason was simple; it was because the opponent had a foul mouth, something Lin Zhen despised!

A fourth-level World King, with only 99% of sky-blue Spiritual Power, how could he compete with Lin Zhen's Golden Divine Infant's Spiritual Power!

Although the opponent carried a Heavenly Tool for mental defense, it couldn't block much. The Heavenly Tool shattered into dust, followed by the destruction of his Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

Ten thousand twisted evil spirits roared with boundless fear, causing instant brain death!

The moment he was brain dead, Divine Power pulled his life back, and he was directly eliminated!

Before his body could even fly out, his companion appeared.

Lin Zhen used a Mental Shock to tear a gap in the World Kings' formation, causing a bit of chaos. His second move, Satellite Fall!

His target was precise, a fifth-level World King. For such an opponent, Satellite Fall was more than enough!

Like a celestial being flying from the sky, the satellite fell with a thunderous crash, the spear piercing his body, eliminating the second World King!

Without a moment to check the rising points, Lin Zhen used his third move, Time Deceleration!

Two fifth-level World Kings attacked him from left and right, but they suddenly felt as slow as snails. Realizing something was wrong, it was too late for them to retreat. Lin Zhen swung his spear left and right, unleashing a Double Dragon attack.

"The third one! The fourth one!"

Lin Zhen quickly withdrew the Time Deceleration field, because facing numerous World Kings' attacks, the Time Deceleration field couldn't last long. He activated Time Acceleration again.

Retreating, he waited for a sixth-level World King to catch up from behind, then suddenly decelerated again!

His left hand held the spear while the Phantom Light Sword appeared in his right hand. He executed the Light of Heavenly Splendor!

As the Sword Light flew, if it weren't for the green light, the sixth-level World King would have fallen there and then!

The next sixth-level World King jumped over his companion's body, attempting to strike from above. In his eyes, Lin Zhen had exhausted all his techniques and couldn't possibly survive this attack.

However, he saw an unforgettable scene. Lin Zhen grinned, then suddenly went through Armorization!

The enormous Black Hole Beast's head appeared, and it directly opened its massive mouth, swallowing the World King who fell right into its trap!

"The fifth one! The sixth one!"

"This guy has a Galaxy Beast clone! Everyone, be careful!" Feng Dao yelled from the back. Two World Kings appeared behind Lin Zhen. They had circled around, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Yet before they could carry out their sneak attack, an icy sensation came from behind. Afterward, the green light flashed, and they were eliminated!

When they turned their heads, another Lin Zhen holding a long spear appeared, laughing coldly at them.

They wanted to sneak attack Lin Zhen, but they didn't know that Lin Zhen's clone had long since been lurking around, waiting for the opportune moment. They ended up being eliminated instead!

As the clone appeared, Lin Zhen returned to his human form. Both the main body and the clone attacked simultaneously, without any tricks, just strong frontal assaults.

The Cliff Corner Spear was held by the clone, and both long spears attacked like a Stormy Wind and Rain. They completely suppressed the three people, including Feng Dao.

Thump! Thump!

Withdrawing their spears, the frontal assault ended, and the remaining two seventh-level World Kings were both eliminated!

Eleven World Kings were eliminated in less than six seconds!

Although these people were not considered top-tier experts, they were still World Kings. Surprisingly, Lin Zhen single-handedly wreaked havoc among them as a Domain King.

Lin Zhen slowly turned to Feng Dao, "You wanted to kill me, so why are you just standing there and watching me like an idiot?"

Feng Dao's hands trembled. He couldn't imagine what kind of enemy he was facing. As a Peak Level Nine World King, he was certainly not comparable to those who had already fallen. However, Lin Zhen's strength completely overturned his understanding of Domain Kings!

"Lin Zhen!"

Feng Dao screamed desperately, "Don't think you've got me trapped! Even if I die, I will show you the prowess of my Feng Dao! If you really eliminate me, the Wolfman boss will never let you go! Ah~!"

It seems there are some fearless people. Moreover, this place was protected by Divine Power. Knowing there was no escape, Feng Dao's ferocity had been truly triggered as he charged forward, swinging his long knife without any defense.

"This is getting interesting… Come on, I'll take you on one-on-one!"

Instantly withdrawing his clone, Lin Zhen stepped forward with his spear!

In the Nan Liang Imperial Palace's main hall, Ning Qingxuan felt her eyes blur.

Watching Lin Zhen's points continuously climb, she felt all the grievances and ridicule she had faced earlier were well worth it.

Expressing her excitement seemed inappropriate, but she couldn't help feeling proud— prouder than if she had achieved something herself, even ten thousand times prouder!

The Emperor of Xi Zhou, the Bei Wei Emperor, and their queens watched the points dumbfounded.

From 10,500 to 12,000, ranking 320,091!

From 12,000 to 13,400, ranking 388,744!

From 13,400 to 15,900, ranking 337,127!

He had quickly risen from over ten million to a few hundred thousand!

This Lin Zhen had gone mad!

The Xi Zhou Emperor revealed a tearful smile, even uglier than crying. He said to Liang Zhihuan, "Brother Liang, this is you being dishonest, isn't it? Are you and Princess Ning teaming up to make a fool of us? This isn't someone who dares not to fight; this is simply a killing madman!"

"Indeed, we never imagined that Nan Liang would have such talent. We really underestimated him." The Bei Wei Emperor also sighed.

As for Liang Zhihuan, he didn't know how to express his feelings in the face of the two's flattery. He glanced at the excited Ning Qingxuan, who looked like a young girl, and forced out a smile. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, finding that the once delicious wine now tasted somewhat bitter.

Chapter 678: Chapter 680: The Stage of the King

If it were back when Lin Zhen had just entered the Divine Punishment Star, Feng Dao would indeed be a formidable opponent. As a Level Nine Domain King, it was no doubt that he had considerable strength to be the leader of the Emperor's guards.

His Star Power level had reached 39,000!

39,000 Star Power was equivalent to 3,900,000 Star Power, which was almost equal to Lin Zhen's 4,000,000 Star Power.

However, now he was no match for Lin Zhen anymore.

There was no reason other than Lin Zhen's overwhelming Spiritual Power. When Lin Zhen used Light Annihilation to transform into a shield and started launching diving attacks from high altitude, Feng Dao knew he was finished.

Only Spiritual Mind Masters could fly within the Divine Punishment Star, and the minimum requirement was for Martial Artists to nurture a Divine Infant!

For Lin Zhen, who could fly back and forth by stepping on a shield, an ordinary Divine Infant might not be enough. At the very least, it had to be at the Late Bronze Stage or Silver Stage, otherwise, it would be difficult to be as relaxed and unstrained as he was.

Feng Dao Shi Xiaomao also condensed a Divine Infant, but it was merely a Divine Infant of the Late Bronze Stage. Although he could fly, compared to Lin Zhen, it was like the difference between a moth and a gray falcon.

Lin Zhen could fly and attack, while his flying was equal to seeking death. Lin Zhen already had an invincible position.

After continuously blocking Lin Zhen's diving attacks three times, Shi Xiaomao could not hold on any longer.

"Lin Zhen! I will fight you to the death!"

His front was wide open, and thousands of blades burst forth. A series of Gang Qi, like erupting volcanoes, collided with Lin Zhen and his blade!

Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed, and the Divine Infant of the Golden Early Stage, brandishing a seven-colored long spear, shot out!

Ignoring all physical attacks and defense, the Divine Infant plunged into the blades and Gang Qi!

Lin Zhen walked forward with his spear and said, "You can't win a fight relying on just your wild strength and ferocious blade technique. You also need to use your brain."

The Divine Infant returned, the sky filled with blade light scattered, and Shi Xiaomao stumbled two steps. Just as he was about to fall, he was wrapped in a blue light, pierced through the sky, and was eliminated.

After killing Shi Xiaomao, Lin Zhen's points experienced a significant leap once again.

His rank had just been over 330,000, with 15,900 points, now it directly reached 23,000, and his rank rose to 188,722!

"I've already entered the top 200,000… Killing people is indeed the fastest way to advance."

Lin Zhen straightened out his somewhat messy clothes and walked towards the city district.

He didn't know when the border would be opened, perhaps three months, perhaps one or two years, but the 188,000 ranking was definitely not enough. If he couldn't rank among the top few in a battle zone, then he wouldn't have much competitive power after the border opened. He could, at most, acquire the Qi of Divine Transformation, but getting the chance to refine his Divine Body was out of the question.

Within the entire Divine Punishment Star, there were 400 small battle zones, and there would need to be a number one in each zone. That meant there had to be 400 people. However, only 100 spots were available to refine the Divine Body, which meant that at least 300 top battle zones would not have that chance.

As he walked, the Light Annihilation transformed into a shuttle-shaped shield once again, carrying Lin Zhen's body and flying straight towards the city district!

The person from Nan Liang who scored zero points no longer had zero points, as his ranking skyrocketed by tens of millions at once!

This matter also attracted some minor attention in the Dimensional Universe, but that was about it. People were really focusing on those who ranked at the top of each battle zone.

In the banquet hall of Nan Liang's Imperial Palace, Shi Xiaomao knelt down and did not dare to look at the Emperor's gloomy face.

At this time, the emperors of Xi Zhou and Bei Wei had already been arranged to stay at the palace. Ning Qingxuan had just left with an unhappy expression, along with Liang Zhihuan. Since they didn't need to entertain guests, Ning Qingxuan didn't want to stay there for another minute, causing Liang Zhihuan's heart to ache.

Only Liang Zhihuan and Shi Xiaomao were left in the palace.

"Lin Zhen eliminated you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm incompetent, please punish me!"

"Before we talk about punishment, introduce Lin Zhen's situation."

"Your Majesty, perhaps our previous estimation was somewhat erroneous. Since Lin Zhen could hold his own against the queen for a few moves, it indicates that his strength is considerable among the Domain Kings, and it would not be easy to kill him."

"Do you think that no one can control Lin Zhen within the Divine Punishment Star?"

"No! I have personally fought against him, and his strength is actually about the same as mine. However, his Spiritual Power is too powerful; he completely suppressed me. If we can ask the Domain King masters to take action, there should still be hope to kill him."

Liang Zhihuan squinted his eyes. Although Shi Xiaomao was right, Lin Zhen was currently in the Divine Punishment Star, and there was no communication with the Dimensional Universe. How could he contact the people inside?

Seeing Liang Zhihuan's intention, Shi Xiaomao said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much for now. Lin Zhen's elimination of me has also buried a hidden danger. At the time in the Divine Punishment Star, when Lin Zhen killed my surrounding Domain Kings, I sensed danger and had already passed on the message to my boss, Wolfman. As long as the Wolfman takes action, Lin Zhen is bound to be defeated!"

"Let's hope so. But don't put all your hopes on the Wolfman. Think of other methods as well. If possible, it's best for us to have the initiative. We just need to stick to one principle: Lin Zhen cannot make it into the top 10,000,000 of the overall ranking!"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Lin Zhen is arrogant and domineering. It will be difficult for him to make it in the 68th battle zone, let alone making the overall ranking."

Liang Zhihuan nodded slightly, but he still wasn't entirely assured in his heart. This matter involved the gamble with Ning Qingxuan, and he absolutely couldn't afford to be careless.

A gale swept through the streets overhead, shaking the power poles.

Swoosh swoosh~~!!

Two figures sprinted along the power lines. One could effortlessly jump from one pole to another with a single leap while accelerating, their astonishing jumping ability leaving people dumbfounded.

The person at the front was chased and hurriedly turned around, releasing a series of hidden weapons.

As he threw the hidden weapons, the pursuer also threw his, a flying knife piercing through space and time. The latter took the initiative, bringing down the fleeing person with a single strike!

The body fell from the power pole, only to be disintegrated by a green light before hitting the ground.

"Lin Heizi! You're going mad in the Northwest City District, the Wolfman won't let you off!"

The martial artist roared through the green light, and before he could finish the roar, he disappeared.

"Wolfman, Wolfman, is that your mantra? You think I'll back off if you just mention a name? Then what's the point of me even being here!"

Lin Zhen glanced at his ranking, 10012 in the 68th battle zone, and was about to enter the top ten thousand.

He had been on the Divine Punishment Star for three months, and after the initial skyrocketing of millions of spots, he didn't stop advancing, wreaking havoc in the Northwest City District.

Whether it was a person or an undead creature, anyone who encountered Lin Zhen would inevitably meet their end.

Moreover, Lin Zhen was ruthlessly ambitiou With his heart in darkness, he went by the nickname "Lin Heizi," and had become the number one figure in the Northwest City District.

After killing this person, Lin Zhen looked around and saw the now empty Canglan Street. There were very few undead creatures here, and warriors were scarce as well.

Within three months of chaotic fighting, out of the 25 million martial artists in the 68th battle zone, only less than 3 million were left.

The days when people were everywhere were gone, and finding someone to kill meant traveling far and wide.

Lin Zhen arrived at the entrance of a convenience store. The Divine Punishment Star had been in existence for only two years, and the technological and living environment here was similar to that of the Earth during the common era. Sometimes, it made Lin Zhen feel as if he had returned to Earth.

Pushing open the door of the convenience store, Lin Zhen walked in and looked through the shelves for a while before finding a bottle of white wine. He took out some food and ate slowly.

"Although I've been catching up these three months, my efficiency isn't very high because many undead creatures are active at night, and those true experts also go out at night to hunt undead creatures. Those active during the day are basically cannon fodder."

"The night belongs to the big shots, only those ranked in the top ten thousand, or even one or two thousand, can roam freely at night; otherwise, they wouldn't qualify to mix in the darkness."

"Continuing to act during the day yields little reward. Starting today, I'll enter the night. Since they've given me the name Lin Heizi, I'll stick with it through thick and thin!"

Lin Zhen picked up the wine bottle and drank the entire contents gurglingly, then sat cross-legged on the spot, resting and waiting for nightfall.

Over the past three months, he never neglected his cultivation. As he had been using elixir in conjunction with Star Crystal absorption during this time, the side effects were minimal, and in another two or three months, he would advance to a Level 9 Domain King.

Moreover, the expansion of his inner world was going smoothly, and in another six months, it would continue to illuminate new Evil Stars.

Additionally, Lin Zhen's spiritual power had now reached the Late Golden Stage, with 80% gold conversion!

This was Lin Zhen's cultivation speed, with the devouring advantage of the Black Hole Beast, coupled with his own ability to perform alchemy, bringing materials for devouring, he could absolutely crush anyone in cultivation speed!

If the Divine Punishment Star had been open for 30 years, no, 20 years! Lin Zhen dared to say that he would absolutely be able to sweep all the people on the planet without batting an eyelid!

"Now that I've reached the Late Golden Stage… If my spiritual power can advance to Dark Gold, I dare say that throughout the Divine Punishment Star, there will be no more than a handful of people who can rival my spiritual power!"

Night gradually descended upon the Divine Punishment Star….

Outside the Divine Punishment Star was a layer of divine force field that prevented people from leaving and blocked the entry of dimensional universe signals.

However, the pale moonlight in the sky seemed to be growing brighter, abnormally so.

Whenever the moon rose, even those warriors ranked high would have to tread carefully, because all the super undead creatures would come out to bathe in the moonlight.

Once a giant lizard grew wings and became an impervious zombie dragon, soaring through the sky.

Once the warriors of this planet died, they rode war horses and stepped on black hellish demonic fire, transforming into fierce and powerful undead knights. They swarmed through the streets in groups.

Occasionally, a swarm of bats would rise into the sky, blocking out the sun as they landed on a tall building. They would transform into pale-faced humanoids dressed in luxurious clothes, vampires.

In Lin Zhen's battle zone, there was once a martial artist who ranked first and was eliminated by a swarm of undead knights!

So, the warriors were very cautious when venturing out at night, but the night belonged to both kings and the deceased!

Chapter 679: Chapter 681: Wolfman and Black Widow

The pale moonlight shone through the window, and Lin Zhen gently exhaled, completing another round of cultivation.

"That's enough. From now on, I will cultivate during the day and take action at night!"

After tidying up, Lin Zhen jumped out of the window for the first time in the dark night.

After leaving his house, Lin Zhen did not choose to move at a high altitude, as doing so under the moonlight would be courting death, as he could be discovered by Dragons and Vampire Bats in the sky.

Only the pitch-black alleys and complex houses provided the best cover.

"I am currently in the Northwest City District, aka the Wolfman territory, with their stronghold at the sports stadium. I will head to the Prosperous Garden tonight. Many Martial Artists like to take action there, where there are a lot of Black Warriors. So, not only can I kill undead creatures, but I can also kill people."

Summoning Light Annihilation as his flying mount, Lin Zhen flew three meters above the ground, silently crossing the streets, heading towards the Prosperous Garden Square.

Lin Zhen was not the only one who was active at night. Most Martial Artists preferred to come out during this time. A successful night of action could yield results equivalent to three days of daytime work.

It was just like in an online game. Many players enjoyed fighting, but even more, solo wanderers preferred killing monsters on their own or with a few friends.

Martial Artists were also human, and there was not much difference between real life and games.

However, one should always be careful when "farming" monsters, especially around malicious PKers like Lin Zhen.

After flying a dozen kilometers, Lin Zhen suddenly stopped.

He saw two Martial Artists leaping up and down at the corner of a street, working together to attack an Undead Wild Bull.

The bull was as big as an elephant, and its blood-red eyes shone brightly even in the darkness. It stomped on the ground, creating black and red flames, a sign of undead creatures.

Both of the Martial Artists were World Kings with excellent coordination and fierce attacks. The wild bull was almost at its end.

A sly smile appeared on Lin Zhen's lips as he stepped on the Light Annihilation platform and rushed forward at an extremely high speed!

Kill people! Rob monsters!

Lin Zhen's Points were over seventy thousand, and one such wild bull had nearly a thousand Points, qualifying as a high-level undead creature. Whether killing people or monsters, it was profitable.

When the two Martial Artists were about to win, they suddenly noticed Lin Zhen rushing towards them. They instantly became agitated like provoked cats.

"Shit! Lin Heizi, you dare to rob our monsters?"

Lin Zhen couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when he got close, he saw that these two people were actually Wolfman's direct subordinates, junior brothers!

Their presence here showed that the Wolfman was not far away. Even if he was not around, most people would not dare to mess with these two, as the king of the Northwest City District was the Wolfman.

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment: "Wolfman's subordinates!"

"You better know that. Although the Divine Punishment Star requires constant fighting, no one can be arrogant enough to kill without restraint. Once the boundaries are open, you will still need to choose a powerful leader to follow. Wolfman is among the top ten in this district. In fact, you have already made his blacklist. He is just not interested in you yet because of your low ranking. If you continue to be arrogant, you will die without knowing how!"

"Oh! I made his blacklist?"

"Hahaha! You don't know yet, huh? But I've heard that you only got the Divine Punishment Star quota by seducing a Grand Imperial Concubine from Nan Liang. Otherwise, you wouldn't even qualify to be here. Although I admire your courage to cuckold the emperor, those Imperial Concubines are old women who have already given birth to many children. To think you can actually lower yourself to hook up with them! Hahaha! How does it feel to crawl under their skirts? If you want to join Wolfman's team, you have to follow my rules in front of me…."

Lin Zhen's face darkened a bit.

He hadn't expected there to be such a rumor, and it had even involved a Grand Imperial Concubine, making the story even more ridiculous.

He didn't know who had started the rumor, but the only advantage was that it wouldn't hurt Xuan'er too much.

However, the man's mouth was too foul, and Lin Zhen hated such scum.

Lin Zhen turned his foot, and the speed of the Light Annihilation platform accelerated once again. He raised his hand and fired the Seven Stars Knife at the man who had been jeering: "This is for your foul mouth!"

The Seven Stars Knife was imbued with Space Power. The moment the Ice Knife flew out, it already reached the chest of the Martial Artist. He had no time to react.

However, this Martial Artist was quite capable. Among the 68 districts, he was ranked within the top 10,000. Seeing the flying knife coming, he miraculously clasped his hands together and caught Lin Zhen's flying knife with a "Child Pays Respect to Guanyin" move!

"Lin Zhen! Don't think we're just some rookie Martial Artists for you to slaughter! Your flying knives are nothing more than… than… just… this!"

As the Martial Artist spoke, his mouth was already stuttering, shivering from the cold.

His hands were already coated with a thick layer of solid ice. Lin Zhen's Seven Stars Knife was not just a simple flying knife, but a hidden weapon with powerful energy elements. This knife contained a temperature of nearly minus two hundred degrees. It was not something that could be touched!

Seeing his companion in such a state, the other Martial Artist made a decisive move, launching a series of long-range attacks at Lin Zhen and diving into the darkness, fleeing for his life!

Once a Level 9 World King was determined to escape, it was not an easy task to chase him in the darkness.

Lin Zhen brandished the long spear in his hand, killing the rushing Undead Wild Bull with a single thrust, and then dealt a finishing blow to the martial artist trapped in ice.

"I'm not really interested in the name 'Wolfman' anymore. His only purpose in my life is to be a stepping stone on my path. As for you, you must be a martial artist from Nan Liang. I've decided to confront you when I return to the real world, making you pay the price for insulting me and the one I love!"

He stabbed his spear repeatedly, aiming for the youngster's lower body each time. It wouldn't kill him immediately, but it certainly caused him immeasurable pain!

The martial artist screamed in agony, initially hoping that someone would save him. But in the end, he tried to self-detonate, only to be eliminated by Lin Zhen right before the explosion.

This wasn't the virtual world; Lin Zhen owed no responsibility for leeches sustaining light injuries. The half of the martial artist's body that Lin Zhen had pierced with his spear needed proper treatment.

Once the martial artist was eliminated, Lin Zhen's ranking jumped up again, landing him in the 6,900 range.

"I was originally ranked around 10,000, so this kid was probably somewhere around 6,000. I got half of the points he had, which made me climb up significantly, directly entering the top 7,000."

However, Lin Zhen didn't stay in the area for long. Although a showdown with the Wolfman might be inevitable, he wasn't going to exhaust himself hunting him down. It was time for the Wolfman to come looking for him.

The other person who had been with the eliminated martial artist managed to escape. After leaving, he ran desperately towards a tall building.

That was the location of the Wolfman's hunt tonight. His target was a Giant Zombie King, and tonight's mission was to kill it.

Upon arriving and reporting the incident, he saw the Wolfman at the entrance of the Zombie King's lair. However, the Wolfman's mission wasn't going smoothly – he was facing off against someone.

The Wolfman had brought along dozens of people, but he hadn't expected to encounter an enemy."

The enemy was a lone red-haired youth holding a long sword. Standing right in front of the entrance to the Zombie King's lair, the youth smirked coldly as he single-handedly blocked the path of the entire Wolfman party.

The Wolfman had long, unkempt hair, a protruding mouth, a tall, skinny frame, and slender arms. His eyes emitted a faint green glow in the dark night, making him look more terrifying than a ghost.

If he crouched down and had denser fur, he could even pass off as a man-eating giant wolf!

He wasn't a Galaxy Beast bloodline, but rather a purebred member of the Wolf Clan.

"What? Little Guang was eliminated?" A sultry woman next to the Wolfman, wearing metallic patches on her breasts and a black leather miniskirt, exclaimed in shock.

She was the Wolfman's lover, a temporary acquaintance they made in the Divine Punishment Star. She was a Level Nine World King with the bloodline of an Advanced Galaxy Beast – the Demon Spider. People called her Black Widow, and she was a top hundred expert in the entire sixty-eight districts.

Little Guang was the martial artist killed by Lin Zhen, and Black Widow's brother. Their brother and sister duo were assigned to the same district by coincidence, much to their surprise.

After arriving here, Black Widow got involved with the Wolfman, causing her brother's status to rise as well, making him arrogant and domineering. However, he was eliminated by Lin Zhen.

"Yes, big sister-in-law. Brother Guang was eliminated by a guy named Lin Zhen. And when I was escaping, I saw Lin Zhen stabbing Brother Guang with his spear without mercy. That guy was so arrogant that even after Brother Guang left the Divine Punishment Star, I think he was still miserable!"

"Then why the hell did you come back?" Black Widow changed her expression. Suddenly, with a wave of her hand, countless spider silks shot out from her body, binding the martial artist tightly!

A thin, tube-like organ emerged from her mouth and pierced the martial artist's abdomen.

"You abandoned my brother and escaped on your own. I'll suck you dry, alive!"

The martial artist wrapped in spider silk could no longer bear it. He tried to self-detonate.

But before he could self-detonate, the Wolfman moved quickly, landing a blow on the martial artist's chest.

A flash of blue light, and he was eliminated.

The Wolfman retracted his hand resentfully: "Damn divine light protection, or else I'd have been able to snatch a fresh, beating heart."

After saying this, he turned his attention to the red-haired youth called Luo Fei: "Luo Fei, as the brother-in-law, I can't just stand by and let my brother-in-law be eliminated. I won't fight you for this Zombie King, let's meet again some other time."

"Hmph! You know what's good for you!"

Luo Fei withdrew his sword and watched as the Wolfman, Black Widow, and their party disappeared into the distance.

As one of the ten top experts, although he was confident in himself, he didn't want to take on the Wolfman and his large group of people. It was best if the other party retreated willingly.

He entered the Zombie King's lair with his sword, anticipating a great harvest tonight.

"Lin Zhen… another one daring to pull the tiger's whiskers. I hope he's not some rash youngster, making a brief appearance before promptly falling."

Chapter 680: Chapter 682: Out of Control!

"Extra, extra! Latest news for Divine Punishment Star: in the Western Continent's Twelfth Battle Zone, Qin Jianfeng is far ahead and untouchable on the throne of the first place!"

"In the Southern Continent, Boston dominates the competition by defeating seven top-ranked fighters, solidly securing the top spot in the battle zone!"

"In the Northern Continent, the struggle is intense, and the true face of Saintess Feng Qingluan of the Phoenix Clan is stunning. She has become a goddess-like figure in the Original World!"

"In the Eastern Continent's 68th Battle Zone, Lin Zhen, who was once thought to be a coward, has had a massive outburst. His rank has been rising continuously and has strongly entered the top 1,000. Sir, would you like a newspaper?"

In every corner of the Original World, bars, restaurants, and teahouses were filled with news about the Divine Punishment Star.

Newspapers were also in high demand compared to information within the Dimensional Universe. After all, holding a newspaper and reading at a leisurely pace was a favorite pastime of many people.

"Recently, the Divine Punishment Star has been so lively, with heroes emerging and geniuses everywhere!"

"Yes, but I think the final spot for the Super Divine Body Refinement might be taken by Prince Qin Jianfeng of Da Qin."

"That's right, I'm also a die-hard fan of Qin Jianfeng. He's too strong; did you hear? Ever since Qin Jianfeng picked up his sword, he has only challenged higher-ranking opponents, and he has never lost a single match!"

Another person joined the discussion: "Is it really as amazing as you say? He is a prince; who would dare to defeat him? Maybe they all let him win."

"Hahaha! That's just your ignorance. After taking up his sword, Qin Jianfeng left Qin Kingdom to wander and fight alone. He once vowed that if he lost a match, he would cut his long hair short. But up until now, his hair has reached his ankles, and he has to wrap it around his neck like a scarf. He can't lose even if he wants to!"

"Yes, I also believe that Qin Jianfeng is the strongest, but it's hard to say. Boston from the Southern Continent is also very strong and has never been defeated in his lifetime. Moreover, this time he defeated seven top-ranked fighters in a row, solidifying his position."

"You guys like heroes, but I prefer beauties. Feng Qingluan … Oh! Ever since I saw her, I've been having insomnia for several nights in a row. She's not only incredibly powerful, but she's also extremely beautiful. If she could be my girlfriend, I wouldn't mind living a thousand years less!"

"You should save your breath. A woman like Feng Qingluan is not just anyone's dream. You can't rely on just a couple of skills to win her over."

"What do you think is going on with Lin Zhen? He suddenly surged as if full of energy. I used to laugh at him, but he has been rising so fast recently that he has broken into the top 1,000 of their battle zone. Could he actually take one of the Qi of Divine Transformation in the end?"

"It's hard to say, but Lin Zhen is from the New World. The reversal of this kind of civilian Martial Artist has a large number of fans supporting him. Haha! Many people now see him as an inspirational idol in the Divine Punishment Star battle, and he is really lucky."

"Well, however, I think Lin Zhen's progress will stop here. I heard he has been too reckless, and the leader of his zone is pursuing him. Some people say there will be big news coming out of the Eastern Continent's 68th Battle Zone in a day or two."

"Let us wait and see, the more exciting it is, the better!"

Similar discussions were happening in any place in the Original World, and those Martial Artists who were ranked at the top and had strength had a lot of support.

Lin Zhen was ranked in the top 1,000 of his small battle zone, but his fame was solely due to being counted as the worst Martial Artist in the Original World, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, Lin Zhen didn't care about this kind of attention. What he cared about were the people who had been chasing him.

The Wolfman and the Black Widow!

Since killing the person who had mocked him, Lin Zhen has had a group of people tailing him.

The Black Widow had a tracking Talent called "Spiders and Horses", which allowed her to track people based on the slightest smell, giving Lin Zhen no chance to catch his breath. As a result, Lin Zhen hadn't been able to return to the convenience store for a rest in many days.

It wasn't that Lin Zhen didn't want to stop and fight, but with the large group that the Wolfman was leading, he wasn't confident that he'd win. He didn't want to risk any accidents, so he chose to hide for the time being.

After spending days hiding and maneuvering through the city, Lin Zhen was growing restless.

"This can't go on!"

In a residential building, Lin Zhen hastily ate some food, watching through the window as a group of Martial Artists poured into the residences. Leading the group was the Black Widow. They were closing in on him.

Within the crowd, the tall figure of the Wolfman was conspicuous, and Lin Zhen still hadn't faced him in combat.

"My rank has been improving these past few days, and I'm now ranked 920th in the battle zone, but that's not enough. If I want to fight the Wolfman, the first person I have to deal with is the Black Widow. Otherwise, this woman and her group will continue to track me down, and I won't have a chance to rest."

"It seems like I need to use some tricks."

Lin Zhen secretly made up his mind, looked at the deserted residential building, and decided it was a perfect place to set an ambush.

After observing the path of those people for a moment, Lin Zhen had figured out some patterns.

"The Black Widow is one of the top hundred experts in this area, and her Star Power should be slightly higher than mine. Relying on her high Star Power, her actions have been very showy. Even when coming after me, she is always at the front."

"There's about a hundred meters between the Wolfman and her, but if we're inside a complex building like this, that distance is like a world apart – enough to get a lot done."

"This way! Hurry up!"

The Black Widow ran at the front of the group. In order to avenge her brother, she couldn't wait to kill Lin Zhen herself.

The Wolfman trailed far behind, trusting in the Black Widow's abilities. Even if she couldn't kill Lin Zhen, there was no way he could defeat her quickly, and she would keep him entangled and unable to escape.

Black Widow could now clearly sense Lin Zhen's presence, just up on the seventh floor.

Not waiting for her companions, she stretched out her hands, and two strands of web shot out, firmly attaching to the window frame. With a flick, she swung her body and flew up into the air!

She entered the room gracefully and landed lightly on the ground.

Before she even landed, she saw Lin Zhen with his fists clenched, giving her a cold smirk.

"It's so cold out. Aren't you cold wearing so little? Let me help you warm up!"

Finger Sword Qi!

For each hand, all fingers but the thumb rapidly flicked, sending waves of Sword Qi whistling through the air like a machine gun!

Given the proximity, even with her serpentine agility, Black Widow couldn't dodge Lin Zhen's Sword Qi entirely. Soon, she took a hit on her leg.

A bloody hole appeared, and Black Widow let out a shrill scream. Suddenly, strands of web burst out from her body like scattered flower petals, filling the entire room in an instant.

"Lin Zhen! You want to kill me? Turn me into a cocoon first!"

Layers of web emerged, blocking Lin Zhen's Sword Qi.

"Hmph! Just a petty trick! Break!"

Lin Zhen waved his hand, releasing a Seven Stars Knife imbued with the power of fire. The deep azure flames spread, burning the surrounding web to ashes.

A powerful aura approached from the window; the Wolfman was almost there.

Time was of the essence. Lin Zhen activated Star Energy Transfer!

Four million Star Energy was instantly converted into seven million, and with a thrust of his spear, he attacked the Black Widow.

Facing the suddenly bolstered Lin Zhen, Black Widow immediately knew she was no match for him. She decided to make a bold move; she tore off her chest wrap, and her two pale mounds jiggled in midair. She puffed up her chest towards Lin Zhen and batted her eyes seductively. "Handsome, come…eh!"

She thought it would distract Lin Zhen for a moment, but instead, his spear pierced through her without hesitation, instantly killing her!

Watching Black Widow's body soar into the air, Lin Zhen spat: "Pah! If you had the beauty of Qing Luan or Xuan'er, you might have succeeded. But unfortunately, with my two future wives as shining examples, what are you worth!"

After killing the Black Widow, Lin Zhen's ranking soared from over nine hundred to one hundred and one!

Black Widow was a top 100 expert – gaining half her points and adding them to his score sent Lin Zhen rocketing up over eight hundred places, bringing him near the top 100!

Seeing the Black Widow eliminated, the Wolfman, who was almost at the building, felt like his lungs were about to explode.

It wasn't just because she was eliminated, but also because her top half was naked as she flew off!

No matter what race, no man likes others seeing his woman. The Wolfman was no exception.

At this moment, he felt as if his wolf head had turned green!

He didn't think that the Black Widow had taken off her clothes voluntarily; they must have been stripped off by Lin Zhen.

When he thought about the legend of Lin Zhen and the Emperor of Nanliang, the Wolfman was consumed with rage. He bellowed, "Lin Zhen! You pervert who specializes in toying with other people's wives, I'll eat you alive!"

Lin Zhen had already activated Star Energy Transfer, pushing him to his peak state. He was ready to face the Wolfman but hearing these words, he felt a cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

When did he earn such a reputation?

If this nickname spread throughout the universe, he feared that anyone with a beautiful wife would keep her far away from him.

Although he was satisfied having An Ning, Su Mingyue, Little Phoenix, and Xuan'er, he still felt wronged by this accusation.

"Bah! Even if I do like women, your woman is nothing to my taste! Die!"

Originally, Lin Zhen wanted to avoid confronting the Wolfman immediately after killing the Black Widow, waiting for himself to advance to Level Nine Domain King for a better chance. But now he couldn't care less; he leaped out the window and thrust his spear directly at the Wolfman!

Mountain-Shaking Spear Technique!

He couldn't use his powerful Planet Fall move here, but his spear technique could still be executed. Unleashing it carried the power to shake mountains!

Moreover, what was more important was that the Wolfman felt Lin Zhen was in a rage when he launched the spear.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly. You were the one who stripped off her clothes, and I only mentioned it once, yet you got angry, wanting more after gaining an advantage. You really have no shame!

Chapter 681: Chapter 684: Sword Tomb

Ever since his last battle with Ning Qingxuan, when he had used Star Energy Transfer and Divine Power Pills, Lin Zhen discovered that his Star Energy Transfer wasn't something he could use infinitely.

Each time the Star Energy Transfer was used, it took about half an hour, and within a month, the space stone at the connection between his Dantian and the Dark Star Space would dim, requiring a month to recover.

Therefore, he did not want to use Star Energy Transfer casually and still tried to rely on his own strength to fight as much as possible.

But it had come to this point already, and he didn't want to delay any longer. He decided to seize the opportunity of using Star Energy Transfer to get rid of the Wolfman in one fell swoop!

His Mountain Shaking Spear technique opened up, striking the Wolfman and sending him flying back!

Although the Wolfman was strong, he was still no match for the previously encountered Hua Hua Taisui. Furthermore, Lin Zhen now possessed seven million Star Power, making him even stronger.

As the Wolfman was blasted from the sky, he roared before hitting the ground, "Everyone, go and kill this brat!"

Then, he quickly swallowed an elixir, and his Star Power surged, equaling Lin Zhen's.

If Lin Zhen were to take a Divine Power Pill now, he could easily wipe out everyone, but the problem of the Weak Period was too deadly, so he couldn't use it recklessly.

Surrounded by a group of World Kings charging towards him, Lin Zhen thought for a moment, and the Seven Stars Knife appeared!

"Come as many as you want!"

Stepping on his shield, Lin Zhen did not fly high or far, staying within this residential area, locked in a fierce battle with several dozen World King experts!

His seven million Star Power crushed the opponents, as did his Spiritual Power. Being able to fly freely and dodge, having more people on their side didn't give them an advantage.

This twenty-minute-long battle footage was filmed by a Martial Artist. Due to being overly focused on filming, this second-level World King didn't notice a nearby undead creature later on. He was eliminated in a daze.

However, this footage of Lin Zhen's battle against numerous World Kings still became popular in the Dimensional Universe.

"Once the last place in the Divine Punishment Star, now fighting against forty World Kings in a fierce battle, witness the rise of the new star of the Eastern Continent!"

This eye-catching headline attracted the attention of countless people, and the video soared to the top three in the hot posts!

In the footage, Lin Zhen fought passionately, bloodied and scarred, as one World King after another fell to his spear or flying knife. Despite his injuries, his astonishing strength left people speechless.

The final showdown between Lin Zhen and the Wolfman was especially intense, with bloodshed and blows that hit flesh. In the end, the Wolfman, known for his resilient body, was severely crippled by Lin Zhen. His entire lower body had been nearly pulverized before being eliminated by Lin Zhen.

After this battle, Lin Zhen's ranking in the 68th District went from 101st place to 4th place!

Here in the top hundred, apart from Lin Zhen himself, there were no other Domain Kings present.

This was a miracle for the Domain Kings, and Lin Zhen had already entered the scope of the Original World.

Although many people doubted that Lin Zhen had taken drugs, nobody cared about such claims.

So what if he had taken drugs? If you have the ability, you can also take them. Alchemists create drugs for people to consume, and that isn't an issue at all.

Moreover, even if he had taken drugs, his immense fighting capabilities were still noteworthy.

In the Dimensional Universe, countless people wanted to become friends with Lin Zhen. Some even formed a dedicated fan group, believing that Lin Zhen was qualified to receive a strand of Qi of Divine Transformation.

Lin Zhen's ascension to the fourth place in the battle zone had also caused a massive wave in Nan Liang.

People everywhere were giving their congratulations, and countless posts were being made in the Dimensional Universe each day.

"Lin Zhen! Nan Liang's pride!"

"The Original World is the world of heroes, and Lin Zhen is the hero of my dreams."

"I've heard some rumors about Lin Zhen, but this time, I support him!"

"How are legends born? The untold story between Lin Zhen and me."

Crack!*

The crystal wine glass shattered in the grand hall, and the silent beauty at the table looked up at the furious Emperor on his throne.

"Xuan'er! Do you think you've won?" Liang Zhihuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he lost his temper with Ning Qingxuan for the first time.

"Are you questioning me?" A hint of coldness appeared in Ning Qingxuan's eyes. This man loved her, but she did not love him. For the sake of her sect's interests, Ning Qingxuan had chosen to become queen. However, she wasn't happy about it and felt she had let down the man she truly loved. She never expected him to have the audacity to lash out at her.

Feeling Ning Qingxuan's coldness, Liang Zhihuan's anger subsided by half.

He was becoming impatient, as Lin Zhen's sudden breakthrough had left him at a loss for what to do. Moreover, Ning Qingxuan's delighted expression had truly provoked him.

He couldn't let that happen. He needed to remain calm and not ruin his plan.

"Xuan'er, I—" he began.

"No need to say anything. I'm tired. I'm going back first." Ning Qingxuan didn't want to stay for another second. She stood up and left.

Watching her receding figure, Liang Zhihuan's face darkened. After a while, he called for Shi Xiaomao.

"Have you contacted the Martial Artists of the Canon Clan?"

"Your Majesty, we have found one, but he is in the Thirty-Two Battle Zone. We'll have to wait until the boundary opens before he can be used."

"Good! Lin Zhen is already ranked fourth in their Battle Zone. As long as he doesn't court death on his own, he should still be alive when the boundary opens. At that time, I will not allow any more mistakes."

At present, the Northwest City District is a chaotic mess.

The Wolfman has been eliminated by Lin Zhen, leaving the Northwest City District leaderless. Moreover, Lin Zhen is not a Wolfman, but rather a lone wanderer, ambushing anyone lurking in the dark regardless of their identity.

Such a loner is impossible to follow, and with Lin Zhen present, ordinary people lack both qualifications and courage to vie for the top position.

Martial artists can only be extra cautious, especially when night falls, and they must be careful of Lin Zhen when going out – this has become their consensus.

However, in recent days, Lin Zhen seems to have vanished, and his points are no longer increasing. He has slipped from fourth to sixth place, and no one knows what he is up to.

By the fourth month on the Divine Punishment Star, the countdown to the boundary opening has finally begun.

After thirty-one days, the boundary will open, and the various battle zones will be able to communicate with each other.

The top three Martial Artists in each small Battle Zone will automatically receive the consolation prize of Qi of Divine Transformation.

That is to say, as long as you maintain your top-three position when the boundary opens, you will receive the Qi of Divine Transformation whether or not you are eliminated afterward, thus securing a spot within the top 100,000.

The Qi of Divine Transformation is essential for a Martial Artist to advance to Longevity. Although there are many Longevity Temples on the Continent, they are few and far between compared to the countless population base.

So the goal of most Martial Artists is to obtain the Qi of Divine Transformation.

For a time, the top three of each small Battle Zone became the targets of public criticism.

In many small Battle Zones, the top three Martial Artists changed hands as if on a merry-go-round, with many powerful people being eliminated by multiple attackers, giving up their quota, only for it to be snatched away by others soon after.

Only those absolute powerhouses can secure their places.

And coincidentally, all three of the top Martial Artists in the Eastern Continent's Sixty-Eighth Battle Zone are powerhouses.

Currently, in the Sixty-Eighth Battle Zone rankings, the first place belongs to Chen Tianpeng, a Beiming Martial Artist with 180,000 points, ranked at the top!

Second place is Luo Fei, a Da Han Martial Artist with 130,000 points, ranked second.

Third place is Wan Rentu, a Da Xia Martial Artist with 120,000 points, ranked third.

Fourth place is Meng Yao, an East Sea Martial Artist, with 65,000 points, ranked fourth.

Fifth place is Zhou Xinghai, an East China Martial Artist, with 62,000 points, ranked fifth.

Sixth place is Lin Zhen, a Nan Liang Martial Artist, with 60,000 points, ranked sixth…..

There is a vast gap between third and fourth place, mainly because of the recent surge of ordinary Martial Artists attempting to challenge the top three.

Not only did these people fail to knock down the top three, but they were also eliminated themselves, gifting their opponents a large number of points.

As a result, the gap between third and fourth place is enormous, making the strength disparity in their district pronounced. People say that any of their top three could claim the top spot in other small Battle Zones.

Yet the presence of such three powerful adversaries has left the top three spots firmly in their grasp. There is also a tacit understanding between the three not to engage in life-and-death battles, making it impossible for anyone to surpass these formidable barriers.

People also look forward to someone knocking down the top three, as it may bring about an opportunity for others to profit from their downfall.

At the end of Canglan Street, in the city center, is an abandoned swimming pool that used to be a nest of Black Warriors.

Black Warriors are undead creatures known for their teamwork, making them relatively tricky and a no-go zone for average martial artists.

But now, there are no Black Warriors here. However, the place is more terrifying than when they were around.

That is because this is the lair of the top-ranked Martial Artist, the first swordsman of the Beiming: Chen Tianpeng!

Chen Tianpeng has 4,900 long swords, each one his weapon, all buried inside the sports hall. This place is now known as the Sword Tomb.

Near the Sword Tomb, corpses of undead creatures and fresh human blood can be found everywhere.

In recent times, many have come to challenge Chen Tianpeng, but not a single one of them left unharmed. They invariably left their blood behind.

On the contrary, Chen Tianpeng's position has remained unshakable, and the Sword Tomb area is still filled with awe-inspiring sword qi!

For ordinary Martial Artists, if they cannot take down one of the top three, there is no need to push themselves too hard. They should wait patiently for the boundary to open and strive to stay alive as their only goal.

Surviving to the end does not guarantee obtaining the Qi of Divine Transformation, but if one can't survive to the end, there is no chance of obtaining it at all.

That is why the Sword Tomb is the most horrifying place in the Sixty-Eighth Battle Zone.

Especially in recent times when no one dares to approach it, lest Chen Tianpeng takes it as a challenge to himself.

Nevertheless, in the world of Martial Artists, there will always be some who dare to challenge the peak.

In a convenience store on Canglan Street, a Martial Artist emerges and glances at the dim sky. Ignoring the gazes of survivors hidden in the street's shadows, he walks directly towards the Sword Tomb.

Chapter 682: Chapter 685: Challenger Lin Zhen! (Third update)

Lin Zhen had been recuperating for a month.

The previous battle with the Wolfman had left Lin Zhen seriously injured.

After all, after the Wolfman had consumed the drug, his star power had almost reached 7 million. Without using the Black Hole Devour or the Divine Power Pills, it wouldn't be easy for Lin Zhen to win, especially when the opponent had many helpers.

After such a long recovery time, only when he was once again able to use Star Energy Transfer did Lin Zhen leave the convenience store.

The first thing he did when he came out was to challenge.

Currently ranked sixth, this ranking is still not satisfactory for Lin Zhen. In thirty-one days, the boundary will be opened, and Lin Zhen wants to secure a place in the top three ahead of schedule.

If he were to challenge, Lin Zhen wanted to challenge the peak. He even ignored Wan Rentu and Luo Fei, directly challenging Chen Tianpeng!

Walking down the long street, some martial artists hiding in the dark were intrigued when they saw Lin Zhen ignoring them and heading directly to the Sword Tomb.

A bold person even ran up to an electric pole close to Lin Zhen and shouted at him, "Lin Zhen, are you going to challenge Chen Tianpeng?"

Lin Zhen simply nodded without saying a word and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, the martial artist jumped down from the electric pole and followed behind Lin Zhen, hoping to see what would happen next.

News spread quickly, like a bird taking flight, and more and more martial artists flocked to Canglang Street.

Although challenges have been frequent recently, challenges between the top ten martial artists are still quite rare. High-level martial artists have a tacit understanding of one another and try not to fight before the opening of the boundary, saving their strength for battles after the opening.

Only Lin Zhen, this dark horse who emerged halfway, eliminated the Wolfman who was in the top ten.

And now this dark horse is on the move again, and is challenging the number one martial artist, Chen Tianpeng!

"Who do you think will win?"

"I believe Chen Tianpeng is stronger."

"I think so too, but I find Lin Zhen so handsome. Even if he loses, he's still a hero."

"Yes, a martial artist should have this kind of fearless spirit. I believe even if Lin Zhen loses this time, his future achievements will not be less than Chen Tianpeng's."

"Let's go quickly, we'll miss it if we're late."

A large group of martial artists followed behind Lin Zhen, and by the time Lin Zhen arrived at the front of the Sword Tomb, almost 10,000 people had followed him!

From the initial twenty-five million, there are only tens of thousands left in the entire urban area. This time, tens of thousands have come, showing the martial artists' attention to this matter.

Among the crowd, there were even some god-level martial artists from the top ten, watching Lin Zhen with complex emotions in their eyes.

For example, Zhou Xinghai, who is ranked fifth, was secretly clenching his teeth.

He was originally ranked sixth and was very pleased when his points surpassed Lin Zhen. At the same time, he was also wary of Lin Zhen possibly challenging him.

But while he was gathering his strength defensively, he never expected that Lin Zhen wouldn't even take him seriously. He directly skipped the ranks two, three, four, and five, to challenge Chen Tianpeng in the Sword Tomb.

"Damn it! He completely ignored me… if he loses, I will definitely shove him down hard!"

Zhou Xinghai also followed the crowd, watching Lin Zhen's actions.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Sword Tomb, this former swimming pool has been completely transformed into a space exuding an intense sword Qi, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

Lin Zhen tidied up his clothes, carried the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand, took large strides up the steps, and entered the main gate of the Sword Tomb.

Behind him, the martial artists filed in one after another.

"Zing Zing Zing Zing~!!"

Wind blew in from the windows, and the numerous blades suspended upside-down on the ceiling collided with each other, producing a series of crisp sounds.

The indoor swimming pool had already completely dried up, leaving a large pit. Now inside the pit, two people were sitting opposite each other.

Lin Zhen had thought that only Chen Tianpeng would be here, but upon entering, he saw a second person.

One martial artist was clad in green. His entire demeanor was like a drawn sword. Even by only seeing a silhouette, one could distinctly feel the formidable strength of this person.

Chen Tianpeng!

The other martial artist sported a thick mustache and a pair of fierce eyes. In front of him were two enormous butcher knives.

Butcher knives indeed, as they looked like ones used to kill pigs, only much larger. The knives emitted a gloomy cold light that truly made one's skin crawl.

Wan Rentu!

Chen Tianpeng ranked first and Wan Rentu ranked third. Lin Zhen had not expected to see them together.

Moreover, they seemed to be competing against each other!

Wan Rentu originally had his eyes closed, but as soon as he opened them, a radiant light erupted from them, and his two butcher knives simultaneously rose into the air!

He was also a powerful Spiritual Mind Master!

The two butcher knives swung towards Chen Tianpeng from either side!

By this time, all the onlookers had taken their seats in the stands, watching from afar. However, at this moment, they all instinctively shielded their faces with their hands to protect themselves from the fierce knife Qi.

A slight change came over Lin Zhen's face. He marveled at Wan Rentu's powerful aura, and recognized two things. First, Wan Rentu's star power was even higher than that of a Wolfman on medication, and second, Wan Rentu also possessed a golden level Divine Infant!

Facing such an attack, Lin Zhen had to deal with it carefully, but Chen Tianpeng just casually flicked his fingers.

With a humming sound, a long sword embedded nearby shot up and met the two steel knives head-on!

Succeeding it was a series of explosion sounds, continuous like fireworks, with sparks flying as the three weapons repeatedly clashed in the air!

"Clang, clang, clang~!!!"

After two sounds, Wan Rentu's butcher knives fell to the ground, turning his face a shade paler.

Wan Rentu stood up, retrieving his knife, he bowed his fists at Chen Tianpeng: "Brother, I admit defeat! After so much training, I still haven't made you draw your second sword. I can only imagine what would happen if all these 4,900 swords were used."

Chen Tianpeng nodded slightly, not even turning his head, with a flick of his finger, his sword returned to its place, continuing his slow cultivation.

At this point, Wan Rentu turned his gaze towards Lin Zhen and grinned, it was far from a pretty sight.

"Hehe! Finally a worthy opponent, Lin Zhen, who eliminated the Wolfman, brother, since I lost to you today, I'll help you swat the flies. I'll deal with Lin Zhen, what do you think?"

It was only then that Chen Tianpeng answered slowly, "Be quick, kick these annoying bugs out. I'll give you thirty seconds to solve the problem, is that enough?"

"Brother, you underestimate me. To deal with this greenhorn who thinks he's top three just for beating a Wolfman, twenty seconds is enough!"

Chen Tianpeng nodded slightly without turning his head.

With a grin, Wan Rentu beckoned Lin Zhen, "Kid! Come on, the clock is ticking, I promised my brother twenty seconds. It's already been three seconds. Don't waste time dilly-dallying. If you make me lose face, it won't end well for you."

The surrounding martial artists all gasped in unison.

They knew that the top three martial artists in their area were very powerful, but they didn't expect them to reach this level.

Wan Rentu, ranked third, dared to claim he could defeat Lin Zhen within twenty seconds, and was even dilly-dallying, this utterly disrespected Lin Zhen, implying they were not on the same level.

So, how would Lin Zhen, the challenger, respond?

Many martial artists had already started recording in the Dimensional Universe. Although the news couldn't be sent out now, it could still be shared in the future, and it was bound to attract attention.

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wan Rentu across from him.

He had somewhat underestimated the top three martial artists. Not mentioning Chen Tianpeng right now, the present Wan Rentu was not to be trifled with either!

However, the other party had already set the twenty-second rule, so Lin Zhen didn't have time to keep standing still.

He needed to make his move, not just a move, but a fierce counterattack!

"Well said, twenty seconds it is, but it's not three seconds, it's been five seconds!"

"Boom~!"

The final loud bang and Lin Zhen's last words reached people's ears simultaneously, because Lin Zhen had just unleashed a sudden burst of speed that surpassed the speed of sound!

He launched himself like a cannonball. In less than a second, his spear had harnessed all of his star power and was aimed straight at Wan Rentu's throat!

Of all the weapons, spears were the best at penetrating, concentrating all power in one point and enabling the greatest force!

Wan Rentu hadn't expected Lin Zhen to strike so swiftly.

This wasn't regular speed; it was beyond normal speed. Lin Zhen was already upon him before his last words could reach him.

What he didn't know was that Lin Zhen had used a time acceleration for this attack!

Turn into electricity! Turn into light! This is the secret of speed!

Though Wan Rentu's star power was higher than Lin Zhen's, at this moment he couldn't dodge in time, and could only gather an energy ball in front of him to withstand Lin Zhen's spear!

Buzz buzz~~~!!

The dazzling electric sparks crackled against the swimming pool's wall. Both men had pushed their star power to the limit!

At this moment, Lin Zhen used star energy transfer to increase his star power back to seven million. He was determined to make this a killing stroke!

The tip of the Yin-Yang Spear steadily pierced into Wan Rentu's energy ball, and once it pierced through, Wan Rentu would be eliminated!

In the blink of an eye, five seconds had passed. Only ten seconds were left of their twenty-second agreement!

Given the pace at which Lin Zhen's spear was piercing into the energy ball, it would definitely break through completely within ten seconds!

Sweat had already started to form on Wan Rentu's brow. He had never dreamed that Lin Zhen would enhance his star power so much suddenly, and with all his power focused on one point, he was not able to defend anymore!

"Kid! You shall not succeed!"

"Humming~!"

His two butcher knives rose into the air, driven by his spiritual power, they whistled towards Lin Zhen from both sides. He had to turn the tables!

Chapter 683: Chapter 686: A Close Defeat!

Two cleavers attacked from left and right, but Wan Rentu wasn't intent on killing Lin Zhen; all he wanted was to force him back. As long as he could dodge this spear, he was confident that he could counterattack and achieve victory.

However, Lin Zhen didn't move at all. Instead, his Seven Stars Knife flew out, turning into seven flashes of light, repeatedly striking the two cleavers approaching him.

A series of metal collision sounds rang out in the air, but Wan Rentu's two cleavers failed to reach Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's spear continued to advance unwaveringly, his body surging with Star Power, hair fluttering, and veins bulging on his forehead. He was determined to go all out and kill Wan Rentu in a single strike!

Watching his cleavers fail to achieve their purpose, Wan Rentu stopped boasting about killing Lin Zhen in twenty seconds. At this point, he was already grateful for being able to last twenty seconds without being defeated by Lin Zhen.

"Wahaha! Lin Zhen, get back!"

A series of Mental Shocks violently bombarded Lin Zhen.

The two were close to each other, and Lin Zhen could clearly feel the fluctuations of the opponent's Star Power. When Wan Rentu used his Mental Shock, Lin Zhen countered with a series of his own Mental Shocks, determined to fight back!

The invisible Mental Shocks caused ripples in the air, like stones thrown into water, spreading out in waves mixed with energy turbulence, signifying the intensity of this clash!

Time passed by one second at a time, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight seconds went by, and the energy ball in Wan Rentu's hand had been pierced until it was a thin layer!

In another three seconds, he would be defeated!

At this moment, Wan Rentu was filled with regret. He swore that if given another chance, he would never underestimate his opponent, allowing him such a great opportunity to attack.

Having not achieved anything with the Mental Shock, Wan Rentu used his last resort.

Divine Infant's Outburst!

The Divine Infant was a double-edged sword; it had immense power against enemies, but it was also vulnerable. Once the Divine Infant was injured, the Martial Artist would basically lose their ability to fight.

However, Wan Rentu had no choice at this moment. If he didn't use the Divine Infant's Outburst, he would be eliminated!

An entity appeared, half of it golden in color, and lunged at Lin Zhen!

"You're so desperate now. Unfortunately for you, it's over today!"

A flash of golden light, and Lin Zhen's Divine Infant also burst out!

The two golden Divine Infants collided in mid-air. Normally, it wouldn't be easy to determine the winner of a battle between Divine Infants of the same level. However, this time, the victor was decided in just a second!

Lin Zhen's figure took on the same pose as Lin Zhen himself, with the spear in his hand aimed at Wan Rentu's Divine Infant's chest!

Both his own body and his Divine Infant's battle put Wan Rentu in a precarious position!

He and his Divine Infant simultaneously let out a despairing and unwilling howl, but no matter what methods they tried, they couldn't deal with Lin Zhen. They had no more chances!

Just as Lin Zhen was about to thrust his spear into Wan Rentu's chest, a sudden feeling of danger rose in his heart!

A tremendous sense of crisis struck, and Lin Zhen immediately withdrew his Divine Infant!

A Sword Gang slashed through the spot where Lin Zhen's Divine Infant had just been, and if not for his retreat, his Divine Infant might have been cut down by that invisible Slash Qi!

Chen Tianpeng appeared behind Wan Rentu, pointing at several spots in the void with his finger, each time summoning a flying sword that charged at Lin Zhen with a howling buzz!

"You insolent junior, how dare you act so wild in front of this old man!"

An expert's move could be readily discerned, and in the face of the top-ranked Chen Tianpeng's attack, Lin Zhen quickly retreated, wielding his Yin-Yang Spear and creating a mountain-like screen of spear shadows in front of him.

Immovable like a mountain!

Up, down, left, and right, the sky and the earth were instantly enveloped by torrential Sword Qi. Countless flying swords weaved around like Flood Dragons, seeking Lin Zhen's weaknesses, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to him!

However, Wan Rentu took two steps back and actually sat down on the ground, sweat pouring down his forehead in big droplets.

That moment just now made him feel as if he had stepped through the gates of death and come back. If Chen Tianpeng hadn't stepped in, he would've certainly been eliminated by Lin Zhen.

Seeing Lin Zhen being suppressed by Chen Tianpeng's storm-like sword rain, Wan Rentu's face flushed, feeling humiliated in front of the many other Martial Artists.

If he couldn't turn the tables, people would say that his third place in the Combat Zone was undeserved.

With a howl, the two cleavers came back to his hands, and he charged at Lin Zhen like a ferocious tiger!

"Lin Zhen! I was caught off guard just now! Lemme show you how powerful I really am!"

Lin Zhen was already struggling with Chen Tianpeng's nonstop flying sword attacks, and with the addition of Wan Rentu, he knew that nothing good would come out of today's situation.

First, he hadn't expected there to be two opponents, and second, he hadn't expected Chen Tianpeng's strength to be so formidable. Although Lin Zhen still had a trump card, it was apparent that Chen Tianpeng hadn't used all of his strength.

As long as green hills remain, there will always be wood to burn – it was time to retreat!

After breaking through several of Chen Tianpeng's flying swords, Lin Zhen swallowed a Divine Power Pill.

"Ha!"

Mountain-shaking Spear Technique!

His 7,000,000 Star Power once again rose by 40%, surging instantaneously to 9,800,000. With a single strike, he hit the charging Wan Rentu!

Wan Rentu's huge body was directly sent flying by Lin Zhen's spear, crashing into the wall of the swimming hall, leaving a large hole!

"What a pity! Still failed to take down this old man!"

Lin Zhen twirled his spear, seizing the opportunity of the surge in Star Power to once again knock Chen Tianpeng's sword away and then quickly retreated!

Chen Tianpeng had not expected Lin Zhen's strength to increase once again. His dozen or so flying swords failed to hold Lin Zhen back, and Lin Zhen forcibly killed his way out through a bloody path and fled!

Chen Tianpeng did not chase after him; instead, he calmly raised both of his hands, and all the rotating flying swords returned to their respective positions.

"Lin Zhen! This is just a lesson for you. If you dare to act recklessly again, I'll definitely kill you!"

The onlookers didn't even dare to breathe as they witnessed the scene. At this point, people also discovered that Chen Tianpeng was actually a Martial Artist without legs!

The part below his knees had been neatly cut off!

Having severed limbs for a Martial Artist is not a big deal, as many regenerative medicines can help them recover. However, no one knew why Chen Tianpeng hadn't restored his legs.

Even so, no one dared to make a move against him. The four thousand nine hundred flying swords around him constantly reminded them of the horrifying existence that this disabled man without legs was.

People began to quickly leave the swimming pool.

Only after everyone left did Wan Rentu, his face full of shame, crawl into the large hole.

"Brother… I've disgraced you."

"No matter, one learns by making mistakes. Your initial loss was caused by your arrogance. In the end, Lin Zhen relied on the power of medicine to defeat you. He won't have such an opportunity next time."

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely practice diligently."

"Good! Don't dwell on the present. It's the opening of the border that is our stage. Lin Zhen will be no different from ordinary people when that time comes. You will have a chance to defeat him."

"I understand, Brother. Let me carry you for a walk."

"Fine, let's stretch our muscles."

Chen Tianpeng clapped his hands and leaped onto Wan Rentu's back before slowly walking around inside the pool hall.

"Today's failure will serve as motivation for future victory. Just like my legs, I would rather never recover them than not defeat that person…"

Wan Rentu was secretly amazed. He never thought that someone could defeat Chen Tianpeng, whom he regarded as a god in his heart.

Lin Zhen broke through the wall of the swimming pool and rushed out. As soon as he stepped outside, he staggered.

Just moments ago, he was holding his breath to withstand the attacks of Chen Tianpeng and Wan Rentu. It almost caused him an internal injury. Especially with Chen Tianpeng's flying swords, if Lin Zhen hadn't taken the Divine Power Pills, he might have been eliminated.

"That was close! I underestimated the strength of the first-ranked warrior in the battle zone. Fortunately, my loss doesn't look too bad. It's better to return to practice and try again."

Just as Lin Zhen was about to return to the convenience store, someone suddenly blocked his path.

"Lin Zhen! Do you think you can just walk away after losing to the people inside?"

Lin Zhen recognized the person as Zhou Xinghai, ranked fifth in the battle zone.

Lin Zhen never expected that Zhou Xinghai would suddenly intercept him. However, his intentions were clear. First, he wanted to take advantage of Lin Zhen's defeat. Second, since Lin Zhen was ranked sixth, eliminating him would make Zhou Xinghai the fourth. He would even have a chance to surpass Wan Rentu and become the third-ranked warrior.

But for people like him, Lin Zhen had no liking. Lin Zhen was in his peak state thanks to the combination of Star Energy Transfer and Divine Power Pills. Even if Chen Tianpeng appeared, he would be confident in escaping.

Now was the perfect time to vent his anger.

"What do you want?"

"Hehe! You know full well, Lin Zhen. Your arrogant days are over!"

Seeing Lin Zhen charging out in defeat, Zhou Xinghai didn't take him seriously, drawing his sword, ready to attack.

Boom~!

Lin Zhen used the same move against Zhou Xinghai that he had used on Wan Rentu.

Wherever Lin Zhen's spear pointed, everything was wiped out!

Zhou Xinghai only managed to swing out one sword, but it didn't block Lin Zhen's spear. He was pierced through the chest by the spear!

"This… you're only ranked sixth… This is not… impossible!"

A green light appeared, restoring his dying body, enveloping him, and removing him from the Divine Punishment Star.

The fifth-ranked martial artist was killed by the sixth-ranked person with a single spear thrust, not even having the strength to fight back!

After eliminating Zhou Xinghai, Lin Zhen's points exceeded ninety thousand, and he once again returned to the fourth position. This time, it would be more difficult for others to shake his rank!

Even the gap with Wan Rentu wasn't that large.

Not putting this incident to heart, Lin Zhen took advantage of the remaining effects of the Divine Power Pills and quickly left the swimming pool.

There were still thirty-one days before the border opening. Lin Zhen absolutely couldn't let any accidents happen before then. He had to find a safe place.

Looking back at the swimming pool, Lin Zhen silently turned and sped away.

Chen Tianpeng, Wan Rentu, the matter today is not over yet!

Chapter 684: Chapter 687: A Breakthrough in the Final Moments!

The video of Lin Zhen challenging Chen Tianpeng and Wan Rentu in the 68th mini-battle zone of the Eastern Continent was once extremely popular within the Dimensional Universe.

Although Lin Zhen eventually lost, no one dared to underestimate the fourth place any longer. In fact, most people believed that if it were not for Chen Tianpeng's intervention at the last moment, Lin Zhen might be the second place in the 68th mini-battle zone now!

However, people also thought that after this experience, Lin Zhen would probably not dare to challenge anyone at will. There was only one month left until the border would open, and Lin Zhen would have no chance before that.

It was a bit regrettable. Ranking fourth would not give him the Qi of Divine Transformation in advance, which meant failure.

Because once the border opened, there would be fierce competition. No one could guarantee that they could hold on until the end. Maybe you were the first in the entire Divine Punishment Star before, but at any time, someone might join forces to overturn you.

Therefore, obtaining the Qi of Divine Transformation in advance was the biggest goal of every top martial artist.

Only with the Qi of Divine Transformation could one compete for the opportunity to temper the Divine Body without any concerns.

After the video was released, Emperor Liang Zhihuan of Nan Liang was shocked by Lin Zhen's strong combat power, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Zhen had made it to the top three now, it would have guaranteed a spot within the top 100,000 rankings. That would mean that he and Ning Qingxuan would lose their bet.

Lin Zhen's ranking within the top five million meant free access to all the teleportation arrays within Nan Liang Country.

If ranked within the top one million, the Royal Medicine Repository would be open to Lin Zhen.

If ranked within the top 100,000, the repository would be half-priced for Lin Zhen.

When he thought that Lin Zhen was a great elder of the Alchemist's Guild, Liang Zhihuan couldn't help but feel a little heartache. If the Royal Medicine Repository were to be half-priced for him, this youngster might one day empty the repository.

At the thought of this, Liang Zhihuan was worried all day, fearing that Lin Zhen would really make it to the top three. That would be a disaster.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen failed this time. Liang Zhihuan really hoped that this youngster would not be able to recover, and it would be best if he was eliminated soon.

Now he was paying close attention to Lin Zhen's situation, focusing on the points difference between Lin Zhen and Wan Rentu. He probably paid more attention than Ning Qingxuan herself.

Although Lin Zhen didn't make it to the top three, he returned to fourth place, and the gap with Wan Rentu was very small. He was worried that if Lin Zhen killed a few more ordinary martial artists, his points might surpass Wan Rentu and rank third.

However, as time passed day by day, Lin Zhen's points stagnated at the fourth position again.

Although it seemed that he would not be caught up by the fifth or sixth place for the time being, it was still difficult to catch up with Wan Rentu.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days had passed.

With only three days left until the border opened, Liang Zhihuan suddenly thought of a possibility!

The person ranked fifth!

If Lin Zhen killed the fifth-ranked person at the last moment, his points would definitely surpass Wan Rentu, and he would jump to third place!

This discovery instantly made Liang Zhihuan as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, thinking that this was definitely what Lin Zhen had in mind.

"Wan Rentu, if you had a brain, even if you couldn't find Lin Zhen now, you should kill the fifth-ranked person, then your third place would be secure!"

He really wished he could go to the Divine Punishment Star in person to inform them, but he didn't know where the Divine Punishment Star was.

In the last two days, less than 24 hours were left until the end of the Divine Punishment Star.

Various mini-battle zones had started to present wonderful performances. Some people's hidden tactics were all used at the last moment, and the ranks in the front were once again changing like a revolving lantern.

Many top-ranking martial artists were knocked down, leading for five months, but losing their positions at the last day. Such tragedies were constantly repeating themselves.

Very few people were able to maintain their positions completely. Those who had been high-ranking and in the top three were even chased by thousands and had to flee hastily, hoping to drag out this last day.

With ten hours left before the end, the person ranked fifth in the 68th battle zone was eliminated by Wan Rentu. His points instantly increased significantly, leading Lin Zhen by a large margin and even becoming the second in the battle zone.

Now the situation in the 68th battle zone was as follows:

Chen Tianpeng, 259,787 points, ranked first.

Wan Rentu, 180,980 points, ranked second.

Luo Fei, 177,723 points, ranked third.

Lin Zhen, 98,210 points, ranked fourth.

Li Jianhua, 72,098 points, ranked fifth….

The gap between the third and fourth place had widened to nearly 100,000. It was impossible to catch up in these last few hours, even if Lin Zhen killed the fifth and sixth places in succession!

When he saw this change in numbers, Liang Zhihuan threw a vicious punch in the air and exclaimed, "Yeah!"

"Wan Rentu, well done! This time, it was a real decisive kill. Lin Zhen must have been thinking about killing the last few positions at the last moment and then overtaking you. Now that you have eliminated the original fifth place, you have directly cut off Lin Zhen's chance. This time, he has no chance to be in the top three!"

Liang Zhihuan was very happy. As long as he could drag it out until the boundary opened, he would have a way to deal with Lin Zhen. He had already contacted the martial artists of the Canon Clan, fearing that Lin Zhen would make it into the top three in the small combat zone.

At this time, he really wanted to go to Ning Qingxuan and show off, seeing if she would be disappointed at this moment.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't resist the temptation and ordered Shi Xiaomao, "Go, invite the queen here, tell her that I want to invite her for dinner."

Shi Xiaomao was stunned, "Your Majesty, will the queen come?"

"You just go and invite her, I know her very well, she definitely doesn't want to admit defeat in front of me and will definitely come, just take this opportunity to let her heart calm down, the queen… should also change her mind."

Shi Xiaomao immediately bowed and went to invite Ning Qingxuan.

In fact, Liang Zhihuan guessed right this time. Ning Qingxuan agreed to Liang Zhihuan's request to have dinner together, and came to the Emperor's Yangxin Hall.

Ning Qingxuan knew very well that this meal would last until the opening of the boundary, and Liang Zhihuan wanted to use this opportunity to strike at her relationship with Lin Zhen.

Although Ning Qingxuan couldn't guarantee that Lin Zhen would create a miracle at the last moment, she came here to let Liang Zhihuan know that even if she was here, her heart was still with Lin Zhen, and he should stop daydreaming.

Lin Zhen didn't return to the convenience store, this time, he chose the high tower in this city.

In order to kill the undead creatures, very few martial artists returned to the high buildings. Although there were sky undead creatures threatening here, as time passed, they became fewer and became the safest place.

This month, Lin Zhen couldn't continue using Star Energy Transfer, so he just stayed here and concentrated on cultivation.

The timing was just right. Today marked thirty days had passed, and Lin Zhen's Star Energy Transfer stagnation period was over.

During this month, Lin Zhen practiced hard every day, detoxifying Dan poison, refining elixirs, and by today, he could break through from Level Eight Domain King to the next level.

Not only could the Level Eight Domain King be broken through, but Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space had also been greatly nourished.

"The breakthrough to Level Nine Domain King is already a done deal, and I also have quite a few Star Crystals here, which can directly reach the peak of Level Nine Domain King."

"I don't know if today I can light up the fourth Seven Kills Star. The space with the Star Crystal Tree has not yet fully merged with the Dark Star, which is a hidden danger. But if I can succeed, I will have even greater competitiveness."

Just at this time, Lin Zhen saw Wan Rentu's ranking jump, surpassing Luo Fei to become the second place in this combat zone.

The originally fifth-ranked person was eliminated, and there was no doubt that this was done by Wan Rentu.

"Sure enough, he is scheming, knowing to get rid of potential threats at this time, and absolutely not giving me the opportunity to advance to the top three. He is ruthless and decisive!"

Lin Zhen had indeed thought about this idea, killing the ones behind him to get a chance at the top three, but he didn't act too early. Once he got into the top three, he would definitely be hunted down by Chen Tianpeng and Wan Rentu. Lin Zhen had no confidence in dealing with these two people.

He was thinking about making a move at the last moment, but Wan Rentu preemptively cut off his path.

"Fine, fine, fine! You are all pushing me to this. In five or six hours, it will be time for the boundary to open, and we will see each other again soon."

Lin Zhen didn't want to think about these things anymore, and closed his eyes, swallowing a large amount of Juyuan Powder.

The medicinal power entered his Dantian and immediately began to transform into Star Power, impacting the inner wall of Lin Zhen's Dantian.

Lin Zhen had experienced this process many times, and he was already very familiar with it.

It took less than half an hour for the medicinal power of these elixirs to be completely digested, and Lin Zhen finally broke through the barrier from Level Eight to Level Nine, becoming a Level Nine Domain King!

The breakthrough from Level Eight to Level Nine added 300,000 Star Power to Lin Zhen. Of course, it was equivalent to 30,000 Star Power in the Divine Punishment Star, which made his Star Power reach 43,000.

This was not the end; Lin Zhen didn't stop cultivating. Although he had just taken the elixir, he still had Star Crystals.

His Spiritual Power entered the Dark Star Space, and from there, he directly extracted Domain King level Star Crystals. Star Crystals had no side effects and could be directly absorbed.

Streams of starlight penetrated Lin Zhen's body through every pore, causing his Star Power to grow once again!

From the early stage of Level Nine Domain King, all the way to the late stage, reaching the peak!

Soon, Lin Zhen's one foot was almost stepping into the realm of World King.

His Star Power skyrocketed by another 200,000, reaching 45,000, equivalent to 4.5 million in the outside world!

Although his Star Power had increased a lot, Lin Zhen still felt it was not enough. At this moment, he simply swallowed some more nourishing potions for his internal world.

Since he had broken through, Lin Zhen wanted to try if he could light up the Seven Kills Star today.

The power of the nourishing potion was injected, and the Dark Star Space made a roaring sound.

The edge of the space expanded outward, and in the sky of the Dark Star Space, the fourth of the seven Evil Stars, the Seven Kills Star, began to flicker!

Chapter 685: Chapter 688: Star Power 7,000,000! (Third Update)

This time, the Dark Star breakthrough was somewhat different from the previous ones. The Dark Star Space was already on the verge of breakthrough, but there was a discordant factor that made Lin Zhen unsure of success.

That was the small space from the spatial turbulence.

This small space had not yet completely landed on the Dark Star but was floating in disharmony.

The small tree that nurtured the space wandering flower still flickered with a brilliant light, and the spatial turbulence formed a protective layer around it.

However, at this critical moment of breakthrough, this lack of integration became a fatal factor.

Lin Zhen could even sense that the power of this small space was actually resisting the Star Power of the Dark Star Space!

Above the sky, the veil of the Seven Kills Star had already been lifted, but it showed signs of receding.

"No, if this continues, the Dark Star breakthrough will fail. This absolutely cannot happen."

Lin Zhen originally wanted to abandon the small space, but he couldn't bear to part with the Star Crystals on the tree.

"The only way now is to merge this small space with my Dark Star."

Lin Zhen made up his mind and directly enveloped the small space with his Spiritual Power, trying to forcefully land it on the Dark Star.

The original location chosen by Lin Zhen was the basin beneath the small space, but the small space was filled with a repulsive force, making it difficult for Lin Zhen to suppress it.

Seeing that the Seven Kills Star in the sky was about to extinguish, Lin Zhen, in his urgency, stopped hesitating and chose the highest point on a planet.

The highest place on the entire planet was the Star Fruit Tree.

And the only place suitable for the small space to rest on the Star Fruit Tree was Lake Heart Tree!

Lin Zhen suddenly thought of this place. As both the small tree and the Star Fruit Tree nurtured Star Crystals, their attributes should be similar and might be able to merge.

With a thought, the small space had already come to the top of the Lake Heart Tree. As he exerted Spiritual Power to suppress it, there was no more rejection force!

Splash~~!!!

Bubble~~!!!

The water rippled as the small space gradually descended.

Those chaotic energies gradually dispersed into the lake and spread between the sky and earth.

The small hill directly sank into the lake, forming a Lake Heart Island above the Lake Heart Tree.

The small tree swayed in the wind as if it perfectly blended in!

Not only that, but after the fusion of the small space and the Dark Star, Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space seemed to be greatly stimulated, expanding again with a rumble, and the Seven Kills Star started to become brighter once again.

"This Star Power… This Star Power is actually so powerful!"

It seemed that the entire Star Fruit Tree had gained a new life. After fusing with a visitor from another world, the tree seemed to grow a little taller.

The surging Star Power swept across the entire Dark Star Space like a storm. Before, Lin Zhen thought that lighting up the Seven Kills Star could increase his Star Power by 100,000 or 200,000 at most. This time, however, 300,000 Star Power seemed to be just the beginning!

The huge storm rolled back and forth, and Lin Zhen didn't know to what extent his Star Power would increase. He took out the Phantom Light Sword.

This stormy scene was perfect for understanding the Taiyuan Sword Skill!

The Taiyuan Sword Skill has seven moves: Heavenly Beginning, Heavenly Brilliance, Great Beginning, Grand Void, Taiyuan, Death, and God Burial. Each move is more powerful than the previous one. If he masters the fifth move, Taiyuan, its power is comparable to Planet Fall!

Moreover, compared with Planet Fall, the Taiyuan Sword Skill does not require a massive amount of Star Power.

A single Planet Fall can even attack Longevity Warriors with a power between Taiyuan and Death. If Lin Zhen masters the Death Sword Skill, he can easily kill the Longevity Realm.

With Taiyuan in hand, he can easily slay World Kings!

As such, the practicality of the Taiyuan Sword Skill is higher than the Star Fall Five Skill, but Lin Zhen has only mastered the Grand Void thus far.

Although Grand Void is good, it is somewhat inadequate against World Kings.

Lin Zhen wanted to seize this opportunity of breakthrough and directly succeed in cultivating the Taiyuan Sword Skill. If successful, his strength would almost double!

Black Hole Devour was Lin Zhen's trump card kept hidden at the bottom of the box, and he didn't want to expose it if he didn't have to. Additionally, the Destructive God Thunder required a long time to recover after using one.

These two abilities, he planned to use them at the most critical moment after the boundary opened.

As for Taiyuan, it is Lin Zhen's strongest move in his normal state!

With Star Power surging and the long sword ringing between heaven and earth, Lin Zhen began his most important enlightenment!

Inside the Imperial Palace of Nan Liang, Liang Zhihuan, and Ning Qingxuan, the ostensibly married couple, rarely sat together, watching the situation on the big screen.

That kid Liang Chen was also doing well, performing decently in the Divine Punishment Star and ranked just over ten thousand in their small war zone.

However, at this time, they were not focusing on their son but on Lin Zhen.

"Xuan'er, I advise you not to harbor any illusions. Now, there is less than an hour left before the boundary opens. The final slaughter time has passed, and all the small war zones have calmed down, and there won't be much change."

Ning Qingxuan didn't pay attention to Liang Zhihuan, who was acting strange and eerie here. She stared intently at Lin Zhen's name, not wanting to miss any changes in his ranking.

She had a strong hunch that Lin Zhen was definitely not the kind of person who would be content with mediocrity, and he would surely appear again!

Inside the Divine Punishment Star, most of the small battle zones had quieted down.

The top three martial artists no longer chased and killed others, and they even chose to team up for self-preservation.

The other martial artists also realized that there was no hope and simply gave up on useless actions, quietly waiting for the boundary to open.

Some powerful martial artists had already set their sights on what would happen after the boundary opened.

Da Qin Empire's Qin Jianfeng, holding a long sword, stood atop a television tower, sweeping his gaze over the entire city, feeling that the small battle zone was too unchallenging.

Boston from the southern continent, clad in spiritual treasure armor, wielding a golden trident, and walking on endless waves, had his sights set on super-refining his divine body.

Jun Mo of the Phoenix Clan gently rubbed the sword in his hand. He had ambitions as vast as a country and a beauty as precious as jade in his heart. But now that the beauty had a new love, he vowed to slay all enemies standing in his way.

Secret Sect Martial Artists! The strong ones among the Galaxy Beasts, as well as countless unknown strong ones, were all waiting for the opening of the boundary. In their eyes, there were no worthy opponents in their small battle zones!

The situation in the 68th battle zone of the Eastern Continent was also largely the same.

Inside the Sword Tomb, three people sat on the ground.

Chen Tianpeng sat in the middle, Wan Rentu on the right, and a redhead youth on the left. This was Luo Fei, who had once stood against the Wolfman with just the sword in his hand, preventing their group of twenty-some people from advancing.

A gust of wind blew, causing the long swords inside the Sword Tomb to collide, making it sound like some kind of percussion.

"Time seems to pass so slowly. Why is this half-hour so hard to bear?" Wan Rentu couldn't sit still after a while, standing up and pacing back and forth.

Luo Fei glanced at Wan Rentu with a hint of disdain in his eyes. If not for Chen Tianpeng's protection, this guy would have been eliminated by Lin Zhen, and now he was ranked even higher than Luo Fei, which was simply outrageous.

"Brother Wan, can you please sit still for a while? Half an hour will pass quickly. We've waited for five months already, is it really that unbearable? Your pacing is making me dizzy."

"No, I can't stand it any longer. I don't know why, but today I just feel uneasy and can't calm down."

At this moment, Chen Tianpeng spoke up. "Ever since you lost to Lin Zhen, you have been unable to dispel the demon in your heart. If you don't take revenge on Lin Zhen, I'm afraid you won't be able to calm down to cultivate."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what I meant, brother! Lin Zhen caught me off guard last time. If I had been completely defenseless, that would have been fine, but I still cannot accept it. I'll be uneasy until I defeat him once."

At this time, Luo Fei, legs crossed, said: "Just forget it. There isn't enough time now, and you won't be able to find Lin Zhen, so there's no hope unless he comes to you."

Wan Rentu sat down dejectedly by the window, looking out at the grand avenue leading to Canglan Street, and let out a long sigh. "There's definitely no hope, Lin Zhen must be hiding this time. He won't appear again."

His gaze reached the end of Canglan Street, and at this moment, Wan Rentu desperately wished Lin Zhen would appear.

Maybe his prayers moved the heavens, as it seemed that a figure appeared at the end of Canglan Street.

Inside the Dark Star Space, the turbulence of Star Power finally slowed down in its enhancements.

Previously, the gap between Lin Zhen's Dark Star Power and his body's power was a bit large, with his main body's Star Power almost exceeding the Dark Star Space by more than a dozen times, making the Dark Star Power increasingly weak.

But this time, the Dark Star Space became important again!

Originally, Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space could only provide him with 300,000 Star Power, but after integrating the extradimensional space, Lin Zhen's Dark Star Power soared!

The overflowing spatial turbulence turned into strands of Star Power.

The little tree scattered its Star Power, causing a huge increase in the Dark Star's power.

The Star Fruit Tree, pulled by the little tree, began to light up its bright Star Crystals one by one, seemingly evolving and starting to climb in power!

All these factors combined ultimately led to a qualitative change in Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space.

The Seven Kills Star lit up, bringing Lin Zhen an additional 300,000 Star Power, raising his total to 600,000!

Space turbulence evolved into Star Power, bringing him another 300,000 Star Power!

The successful landing on Lake Heart Island was the most significant, directly giving Lin Zhen a boost of 1,500,000 Star Power!

Although the strange change in the Star Fruit Tree didn't bring a particularly significant boost of only 400,000 Star Power, it held infinite possibilities for the future.

All these powers combined raised Lin Zhen's Dark Star Space power to 2,500,000!

Together with his main body's 4,500,000 Star Power, Lin Zhen's total Star Power had reached 7,000,000!

When all the power settled, Lin Zhen slowly reached out his hand, grabbing the Phantom Light Sword in front of him.

"Taiyuan emerges! World King, be destroyed! I'm back!"

Chapter 686: Chapter 689: Advancing to the Top Three!

After his Star Power reached seven million, Lin Zhen truly understood the meaning of being powerful.

Perhaps this amount of Star Power still had a slight gap when compared to top World Kings, but Lin Zhen feared nothing now, for with the Taiyuan Sword Skill, he already possessed the real power to battle Strong Ones within the Divine Punishment Star.

Leaving his hiding place, Lin Zhen checked the time within the Dimensional Universe. There were less than twenty minutes left till the border opened.

"There should be enough time, as long as Chen Tianpeng and Wan Rentu are still there."

Summoning Light Annihilation, he abruptly accelerated, heading straight for the swimming pool complex!

"Look, Lin Zhen has appeared again!"

"No way, the border is about to open, but there's still a big show to put on!"

"hurry up, Lin Zhen has come again, this is going to be a lively one!"

The Martial Artists, who had previously ceased their battles and were resting at various locations, suddenly sprang into action as if energised, surging out from all directions, heading once again for the swimming pool complex.

"This is so boring….."

Wan Rentu sat by the window looking out, suddenly rubbing his eyes, "No way, why are there so many people? Are they undead creatures?"

Luo Fei also looked outside the window, "Nonsense. The numbers of undead creatures have dwindled considerably already. You're not hallucinating, are you….."

"No! Those are people!"

Wan Rentu suddenly jumped up, two butcher's knives humming in his hands, "It's Lin Zhen! Big Brother, Lin Zhen is back!"

Chen Tianpeng opened his eyes, "There's no rush. Prepare for the enemy's arrival and stay calm."

His composure calmed Wan Rentu down, they waited for Lin Zhen's arrival.

Lin Zhen's speed was fast. The people behind him couldn't keep up at all. Shield beneath his feet, he once again arrived outside the Tomb of the Sword.

This time, Lin Zhen did not go in, but stood in front of the door, channeling the energy from his Dantian to his chest, and shouted towards the Sword Tomb!

"Chen Tianpeng! Wan Rentu! Come out and meet your death!"

The echo of his voice reverberated through the surrounding buildings, even startling a good number of undead creatures who emerged from the dark and hurriedly rushed over here.

Lin Zhen's voice was extremely loud. Normally, everyone in the city, whether engaged in battle or anything else, rarely attracted undead creatures. But this time, the entire city was silent, everyone was waiting for the opening of the border, hence Lin Zhen's voice seemed particularly loud, attracting undead creatures from the vicinity.

Zombie dragons in the sky unfurling their wings, and there were even some that were all green. Those were the Dragon Kings.

Large groups of bats appeared, including prince-level vampires.

On the ground, a swarm of Death Knights charged this way, with as many as a dozen Dread Knights!

Skeleton Kings! Ghost Kings!

All sorts of undead creatures usually difficult to find all showed up, causing some panic among the crowd.

Lin Zhen, however, did not care. There were three minutes till the border opened, and he was confident he could handle the situation before then.

Such a loud noise did not draw out anyone from the Tomb of the Sword.

Wan Rentu initially wanted to go out, but Luo Fei immediately pulled him back, "There's no need to rush. In three minutes, the border will open. Think about the Qi of Divine Transformation we need. We don't want to complicate things before then."

Wan Rentu quickly calmed down. This was about achieving Longevity. There was no room for rash behavior.

Putting down his butcher's knives, he resolved not to go out. If Lin Zhen dared to intrude, they would join forces to eliminate him.

Seeing that they were not showing up, Lin Zhen snorted coldly. Leaping forward, he lifted a hand, "Since you refuse to come out, then taste this!"

A deep blue flame emerged from the palm of his hand and fiercely smashed towards the Sword Tomb!

Whoosh~!

Lin Zhen, using some supplementary Wind Element, empowered the flame. With the help of the wind, the flame precipitously engulfed the Sword Tomb, turning it into a sea of fire.

In such a deep blue fire, every life form was unable to survive, including World Kings. As soon as the fire started, three figures darted out from inside.

Numerous long swords whirled around forming a path amidst the sea of fire, from which three people emerged.

"Lin Zhen! You truly are insubordinate!" Wan Rentu wore an ashen face; he was tolerating no longer.

"Hahaha! I just can't stand your cowardly behavior. Still waiting till the time is up to deal with me, huh? Then, let me challenge you spineless cowards now. I, Lin Zhen, am right here challenging you, do you dare to accept?"

The sound was deafening, echoing back and forth, even causing Chen Tianpeng to grimace.

If they refused to accept Lin Zhen's challenge, the shadow of this event would certainly haunt them!

They were all Level Nine World Kings, and if they were really affected by such a mental demon, even with the Qi of Divine Transformation, they might not be able to achieve Longevity.

Given this, they had to accept, regardless!

A savage smile appeared on Chen Tianpeng's face, "Since you're challenging all three of us, we will not show you any courtesy. Come on, let's test the strength of our little friend from district sixty-eight who dares to simultaneously challenge the top three!"

"Alright! I've been holding back for a long time!"

"Then I must also witness this."

Chen Tianpeng deliberately said this to justify their collective action. Though it was shameless, as long as they won, any potential inner demons would vanish.

But before he could even finish his sentence, Lin Zhen had already rushed forward.

Going for a one against three!

Time is running out, and Lin Zhen cannot afford to waste any more words. Though faced with three opponents, he must secure one of the top three places!

The nearest opponent to him was Luo Fei.

He did not fight Luo Fei last time. Even though Luo Fei was closer, Lin Zhen did not attack him. Instead, he bypassed him and lunged directly at Wan Rentu!

"Lin Zhen, get out of my way!"

Wan Rentu swallowed a pill this time, causing his Star Power to surge to over eight million. He swung his butcher knife to meet the attack!

Lin Zhen stretched out one hand, his fingers flicking rapidly until their movements were just a blur!

One after another, his flicking Sword Qi shot out like a storm, effectively preventing Wan Rentu from picking up speed.

Feeling Luo Fei closing in from behind, Lin Zhen opened his rarely-used Wind Thunder Wings with a loud "BOOM!", propelling him forward swiftly. He charged towards Wan Rentu!

He held the Phantom Light Sword upside down in his hand, its dazzling brilliance stealing the eyes of those watching. Star Power was accumulating on it, loud and clear to anyone, regardless of their realm. It was evident that Lin Zhen's sword was not going to be easy to defend against.

Chen Tianpeng made his move as well. He slammed his hands onto the ground and dozens of flying swords rose into the sky, aligning one behind the other. They lashed out from all angles with myriad moves towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen swung his long sword to block, batting away Chen Tianpeng's flying swords in the air.

He now had seven million Star Power. The numerous long swords, which must have had their power dispersed, could hardly pose a threat to him.

Yet, Chen Tianpeng intended to delay Lin Zhen with this onslaught. As long as he could slow him down, that would be enough.

"Lin Zhen, die!"

With a thunderous roar from above, Wan Rentu's pair of butcher's knives were now right before him!

Behind him came an equally sharp whistling sound. That was Luo Fei's sword, already reaching Lin Zhen's back!

At this time, Chen Tianpeng also stepped up his attack. With hundreds of his flying swords at his disposal, he attacked lavishly from all directions without giving Lin Zhen any chance to escape.

The three great experts of Zone 68 went all out at the same time. They were determined to slay Lin Zhen, once and for all!

The martial artists around had even forgotten about the hordes of undead creatures that were attacking at this moment. All eyes were focused on the center of the battlefield.

It seemed that Lin Zhen was in jeopardy. He had no power to resist the three top experts who were joining forces against him.

Yet, there seemed to be something odd about the scene, for the cunning moves between top experts would usually decide victory or defeat in a flash. So why did the scene seem to unfold somewhat slowly?

The reason was…Time Deceleration!

At that moment, Lin Zhen activated Time Deceleration.

He could clearly see his own reflection in the eyes of Wan Rentu. He could make out the pattern on Chen Tianpeng's flying swords.

As for how many steps Luo Fei would have to take to close in on him, he knew that very clearly as well.

The moment was extremely brief, but that was all Lin Zhen needed to make the best decision.

There was only a brief pause of one thousandths of a second, and then everything returned to normal.

Lin Zhen slightly sidestepped. This position enabled him to evade the relentless assault from Chen Tianpeng's river of swords, rendering his attack futile.

Then, Lin Zhen wielded his sword, seemingly preparing to give Wan Rentu a heavy blow!

Once the sword chopped down, both of them would meet their doom.

Wan Rentu was incredibly anxious. He didn't expect Lin Zhen to detest him to such an extent that he would disregard attacks from others just to perish together with him.

He didn't want to die, especially now that the final moment was near. He didn't want to engage in a death duel with lunatic like Lin Zhen.

A touch of instinctive reaction manifested in his movements.

His pair of butcher knives switched from offense to defense. As long as he could weather this one move, he might still have a chance to obtain the Qi of Divine Transformation.

What Lin Zhen needed was just this split second.

"Crack~~~!!"

There was a loud sound in the sky as Lin Zhen hastily swung his sword backwards, striking Luo Fei with full force!

Taiyuan Sword Skill!

A long spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky. Over a hundred meters long but less than half a meter wide, it appeared right before Lin Zhen. Luo Fei's body looked like a picture scroll being torn in half.

When Taiyuan appears, the World King falls!

With the current seven million Star Power that Lin Zhen wielded, no World King could withstand this sword!

Of these three people, in Lin Zhen's mind, Chen Tianpeng and Wan Rentu were already enemies. Regardless of their internal struggles, it didn't matter. But Luo Fei was just an accomplice. As Lin Zhen bore no grudge against him and didn't expect him to turn against him so viciously, Lin Zhen had to fight back.

Determinedly, Lin Zhen made use of Taiyuan. He spun around quickly, fending off the attack from Wan Rentu, who was nearly upon him. He then drew upon this force to retreat rapidly, evading the incoming torrent of swords from Chen Tianpeng.

On the other side, Luo Fei still maintained his sword swinging stance. His thoughts and soul were still fixated on Lin Zhen's astonishing sword from just now.

"What… what a swift sword!"

He staggered forward for two steps. A red line of blood appeared on his body that seemed about to split open!

Once it opened, Luo Fei would be dead!

At this moment, the life-saving blue light flickered once again, healing his wounds and spiriting him away from the Divine Punishment Star.

Despite the joint siege by the top three experts of the district, Lin Zhen managed to slay Luo Fei with a single swing of his sword and advance to the top three!

Chapter 687: Chapter 690: Boundary Opening!

After Lin Zhen killed Luo Fei with a single slash, his points dramatically shot up.

He was originally ranked fourth, and even if his points did not increase, he would now be in the top three.

But Lin Zhen did not stop. His body flickered and he rushed straight towards Wan Rentu!

"Lin Zhen, have you fucking gone mad? The time is almost up, isn't it better for us to advance together?"

"Hehe! The opening of the boundary isn't the end; there's still ranking by points. Why should I not take the points?"

Clang~~!!

With a slash down, Wan Rentu staggered backward. Lin Zhen using the Taiyuan Sword Skill, even if he took medicine, could not resist it.

"Lin Zhen, after the boundary opens, if our area has fewer and fewer experts, it will be a great loss of face!"

Wan Rentu roared loudly, but Lin Zhen turned a deaf ear, waving his sword once more.

"Lin Zhen, stop!"

Chen Tianpeng from across there took action again. With more than a dozen long swords swirling, forming a violent dragon, he faced Lin Zhen's sword head-on!

The two sword lights met in the air, and Chen Tianpeng's long swords were knocked flying in all directions. However, Wan Rentu's life was saved as a faint bloodstain appeared on his chest. If it were not for Chen Tianpeng saving him, he would have already been dead.

As Lin Zhen was about to make his move again, Chen Tianpeng had already pulled Wan Rentu into the air, withdrawing.

"Lin Zhen, it's not that I'm afraid of you! But the boundary is about to open, and we don't need to fight to the death. You've already gotten third place, that's enough!"

With less than five seconds left until the opening of the boundary, Lin Zhen finally sheathed his sword.

There was not enough time to chase and kill Chen Tianpeng and the other one. Since he had got the top three, there was no need to kill them all.

Inside the Nan Liang Imperial Palace, Liang Zhihuan's wine glass was crushed by his grip!

Failed!

Everything is over!

He never dreamt that Lin Zhen would kill Luo Fei, who was ranked second, at the last moment and forcefully enter the top three. As long as he didn't die, no one could catch up to his points.

At this point, getting the top three spots means entering the top 100,000.

All national teleportation arrays are free, and the medicinal material repository will be open at half price for Lin Zhen to purchase.

What really made Liang Zhihuan's heart bleed was Ning Qingxuan's proud smile on her face.

His beloved cheering for someone else made the emperor's heart burn with rage!

"Xuan'er, don't think that you've won just like that. With Ning Qingxuan's character and appearance, if I can only choose one man who has made the top 100,000 in the Divine Punishment Star, then I must say that your taste is really bad!"

"Divine Punishment Star has not ended yet." Ning Qingxuan said calmly.

"Alright, alright, alright! Let's see who laughs last! It's just some medicinal materials and money; I actually don't care about it at all. But Lin Zhen makes me feel uncomfortable, and since you are fond of that kid, I will make his life miserable!"

With a flick of his sleeves, Liang Zhihuan stood up and left. Since the conversation had reached this point, he didn't want Lin Zhen to have it easy.

"Shi Xiaomao, come here, immediately contact the martial artists of the Canon Clan, prepare to target and kill Lin Zhen. In addition, collect all the information about Lin Zhen for me, just in case. If we can't really stop him, I want to ruin his reputation!"

Shi Xiaomao immediately agreed. As he started contacting, he also collected information about Lin Zhen.

No martial artist keeps a clean record, and Shi Xiaomao believes that Lin Zhen is no exception.

Soon, all kinds of information about Lin Zhen was sent to Liang Zhihuan.

When Liang Zhihuan saw the warrant for Lin Zhen's arrest, his heart suddenly took delight.

He had not expected this matter and thought it might be useful one day.

Above the Divine Punishment Star, a white light swept across the entire planet!

Everyone's body was wrapped in this white light, and all previous injuries, pain, and exhaustion disappeared at this moment.

A voice rang out, sounding in the ears of every living person.

"The boundary is open. From now on, there will be an additional teleportation array in the center of each city. Users can go through the teleportation array to other battlefields or continents. Teleporting to other battlefields consumes one-tenth of the points, and teleporting to other continents consumes half of the points."

"Killing people in your own battlefield no longer earns points. Killing people from other battlefields get half of their points, while killing those from other continents get all their points."

"Go forth, warriors, glory and rewards await you!"

As the message rang out, Lin Zhen and Chen Tianpeng, who had been tense, suddenly froze.

Killing in their own battlefield wouldn't earn points anymore!

At this time, a glimmer of light flashed in front of them, and everyone's chest-plate had additional patterns.

East 68!

The "East" represents the Eastern Continent and "68" is the name of the battlefield. Moreover, on Lin Zhen and the others, a red flag appeared.

This flag is called the Hero flag, representing the top ten in the area.

Every time a Hero flag bearer is eliminated, the entire Dimensional Universe will broadcast it automatically. This is both a form of honor and a way to gain fame.

Four continents, four hundred battlefields, ten people in each battlefield, making a total of four thousand Hero flag bearers.

Moreover, when a Hero flag bearer is eliminated, there will be no new substitute and their flag will be gone. If a person with a flag kills another, their flag will gain one more star.

If the killed person already has two stars, then the killer also gains two stars.

The seven-star banner can be upgraded, now everyone has a first-level banner, which can be upgraded to the highest of ten levels and ten stars.

This banner is not for nothing; by the end of the Divine Punishment Star, these banners can be exchanged for rewards in the final stage of the Divine Punishment Star, with prizes being extremely generous. Now, everyone can see the prize list in their Dimensional Universe.

Moreover, the overall leaderboard in the Dimensional Universe has finally appeared.

Currently, the highest-ranked person on Divine Punishment Star is Qin Jianfeng from the Western Continent.

Boston, Southern Continent, ranked 2nd.

Latimo, Northern Continent, ranked 3rd.

Holy Word, Western Continent, ranked 4th.

…..

Jun Mo, Eastern Continent, ranked 25th.

…..

Chen Tianpeng, Eastern Continent, ranked 532nd.

Wan Rentu, Eastern Continent, ranked 1215th.

Lin Zhen, Eastern Continent, ranked 1530th.

Among the many names, Lin Zhen saw one that made his heart surge.

Feng Qingluan, Southern Continent, ranked 118th!

"Little Phoenix! Qing Luan has actually participated in this battle of Divine Punishment Star, and reached the 118th position, she's really amazing! She will be entering other battlezones soon, I don't know if I will run into her."

At this time, Chen Tianpeng came over with Wan Rentu.

"Lin Zhen, I think our battle can come to an end."

Since killing those in the same battlezone doesn't earn points anymore, Lin Zhen also didn't want to continue fighting with them and simply nodded: "Of course, I don't want to carry out a meaningless battle."

"Alright then, but I guess you wouldn't want to cooperate with us either. We have decided to go to other battlezones to see if we can kill more heroes with banners. Lin Zhen, you can take a look too. If there are any enemies in nearby battlezones, you can go take revenge on them and eliminate them, which is quite refreshing."

Lin Zhen nodded, he had actually already locked on a target.

Ke Xiangnan of Fire Kirin Clan, who was also in the Eastern Continent, was currently in Battlezone 39 with a ranking of over 160,000.

A ranking of over 160,000 is not bad, but most importantly, Lin Zhen wants to teach this person a lesson.

Now, every owner of a hero banner has a map, which clearly marks the location of other hero banner martial artists.

This is to facilitate the battle, the Divine Punishment Star is just that cruel; the deity tries every means to make the experts kill each other, and only the truly strong have the chance to obtain the divine transformation in the end.

The transfer array is in the city center, which is actually just behind the swimming pool, which is the city center.

Some martial artists have decided to go to other battlezones and many people have come to the transfer array to set off.

But their speed is not as fast as Lin Zhen's, because he was closer, Lin Zhen arrived at the transfer array first, stood on the huge transfer array, and a row of numbers appeared in the Dimensional Universe.

Lin Zhen directly chose Battlezone 39, a white light flashed on his body, and he lost one-tenth of his points.

His ranking also dropped from 1530 to 1719.

But the next moment, he appeared in another battlezone.

The change in points rule signifies that the battle of Divine Punishment Star has entered a whole new stage.

Undoubtedly, this will speed up the elimination process. Now the number of people on Divine Punishment Star is less than one billion, after the battle royale, there will definitely be a large number of martial artists eliminated on the first day.

Moreover, people are more concerned about martial artists with hero banners.

There are ten heroes in each battlezone, and they are all the focus of attention.

In their own countries, they all enjoy great prestige and popularity. Everyone hopes that the heroes of their own country can eliminate the martial artists of other countries and not be eliminated themselves."

On the internet, cheers and encouragement are surging higher and higher, people from various countries are cheering for their heroes.

In Nan Liang, the situation is even more unprecedented.

It's because Nan Liang, a country that can hardly be ranked in the Original World, would actually have a hero banner holder.

Especially Lin Zhen, who ranked in the top three in the small battlezone and has already locked in a Qi of Divine Transformation ahead of time, this is considered a success for the people of Nan Liang.

Moreover, there is one special feature now, the situation of a country's hero banner holders will be automatically broadcast in front of the whole country's people, except for the martial artist's personal privacy in cultivation, all other situations will be broadcasted!

And the martial artists themselves don't know about this.

This should be the deity's wicked taste, it's like mocking these heroes, but it is strongly welcomed by the people.

Not only can they see the battle of the hero martial artists, but they can also see some privacy and hear some gossip!

At this moment, almost all people of Nan Liang had their eyes locked on Lin Zhen.

So Lin Zhen's transfer to Battlezone 39 was seen by almost everyone.

"Go Lin Zhen! Strive to be the first to defeat a hero banner holder!" Almost everyone was shouting like this.

Soon, they saw a person appear in Lin Zhen's sight.

This person didn't have a hero banner, but he was actually someone the people of Nan Liang knew, the current crown prince Liang Chen!

Chapter 688: Chapter 691: Capture the First Hero Flag!

When Lin Zhen encountered Liang Chen, the Nan Liang Forum went silent.

Honestly speaking, if Lin Zhen hadn't appeared out of nowhere this time, Liang Chen's performance would have been pretty good.

His ranking in the 39th Eastern battle zone is within the top hundred. If not eliminated later, he would have had a chance to obtain a Qi of Divine Transformation.

Moreover, Liang Chen even made a breakthrough in the Divine Punishment Star, becoming a Third Level Domain King.

His cultivation speed was already incredibly fast, and his Star Power was close to three million, making him an absolute genius among Domain Kings.

However, when compared to Lin Zhen, he seemed a little inadequate.

Moreover, it's rumored that there were some grudges between Lin Zhen and Liang Chen. People from other countries might not know about it, but it had been spread with great detail on the Nan Liang Forum.

Just a moment ago, an article suddenly appeared.

The content of the article was titled: "Hero or Scum? Discussing the Character of Lin Zhen, the Holder of the Hero Banner of Nan Liang – Part One."

This article was obvious the work of someone with a hidden agenda, not only was it automatically pinned to the top of the forum after appearing, but its content was also extremely detailed.

The main idea was that Lin Zhen, a martial artist from the New World, had been acting shamelessly and deceitfully since arriving in the Original World, causing many people harm and committing countless evils.

The poster did not list all the evidence at once, but only released one piece first.

The first piece of evidence was about the incident between Lin Zhen and Liang Chen.

Lin Zhen's strength was outstanding, but he deliberately showed weakness to lure the Crown Prince Liang Chen to challenge him repeatedly on his stage. In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost a lot of money, and it was even said that Crown Princess Ning Qingxuan lost thirty billion because of it!

The evidence was quite convincing, including Ning Qingxuan's money transfer records to Liang Chen and his challenge records. Under their detailed arrangement, it became clear that Lin Zhen had tricked Liang Chen into losing money.

This news confirmed the rumor that indeed there was enmity between Lin Zhen and Liang Chen!

Now that Lin Zhen had encountered Liang Chen on Divine Punishment Star, he would definitely show no mercy and eliminate him.

Someone immediately commented: "If Lin Zhen eliminates Liang Chen, it proves that he is very despicable. Liang Chen is our Crown Prince and the pride of the people of Nan Liang. Moreover, his strength won't even affect Lin Zhen. If Lin Zhen deals with him, I won't admire him no matter how good his results are!"

"That's right! I support the above. Lin Zhen, there are countless opponents in the Divine Punishment Star, do you really want to deal with Liang Chen?"

"I support the above!"

"Enough with the chatter, watch the situation closely. Maybe Lin Zhen won't take action."

"Whether he takes action or not, Lin Zhen caused the Crown Princess to lose money, and I can't forgive him for that. My goddess is so pitiful."

Although there were a lot of people discussing, many more people were still focusing on Lin Zhen, wanting to see what choice he would make.

Lin Zhen didn't expect that the first person he would encounter in the 39th zone would be Liang Chen.

With a long sword in his hand, the young man was running quickly in one direction, likely toward the teleportation array in the center of the city.

When Lin Zhen appeared, Liang Chen almost bumped into him headfirst.

Coming to a sudden stop, Liang Chen looked at Lin Zhen and almost dropped his jaw.

"Lin… Lin Zhen!"

Seeing Liang Chen, Lin Zhen furrowed his brows slightly. If it were before, he wouldn't have hesitated to take action, but now, Liang Chen was someone Ning Qingxuan had asked him to take care of, and Lin Zhen didn't want to hurt him.

Furthermore, deep down in Lin Zhen's heart, there was still a little bit of guilt towards Liang Chen for the losses he had caused him on his stage.

Moreover, when Lin Zhen looked at Liang Chen's mentality now, he kind of felt like he was looking at a younger generation – Xuan'er's foster son.

"What are you in such a hurry for? It's not necessary to rush like this to go to another battle zone."

When Liang Chen saw Lin Zhen, his eyes spewed fire: "Lin Zhen! How did you, a bastard, come here? Did you deliberately come to kill me? I knew you wouldn't be kind-hearted. Even with such a good ranking you've obtained, you still came all the way from far away just to deal with me. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon to pinch? Today I'll fight you!"

With that, Liang Chen fiercely threw himself at Lin Zhen, and his longsword quickly stabbed.

Lin Zhen frowned. Liang Chen's Star Power was not weak at all, having exceeded two million, but it was nothing compared to his 7 million Star Power.

A large power difference brought a lot of suppressive force. In addition, Lin Zhen still had many other tricks up his sleeve.

He directly used Time Deceleration, slowing down Liang Chen's movements like a snail.

Lin Zhen kicked him in the butt, making Liang Chen land face down: "Do you think you're even qualified to fight me now?"

Liang Chen fell to the ground in an extremely embarrassing way, eating a mouthful of dirt, but he still rolled over and jumped up: "Even if I die today, I'll fight you…"

"Plop!"

Lin Zhen swiftly moved in and kicked him again, knocking him to the ground once more: "You better behave!"

Unexpectedly, Liang Chen showed an expression of sudden realization on the ground: "Ok, Lin Zhen, I get it now. You want to abuse me, don't you? Let me tell you, I won't give you that chance even if I die. When I get out of here, I'll tell my mother what happened so she can seek revenge for me!"

"Tell your mother… You think I want to abuse you?" Lin Zhen's face turned a bit cloudy, this kid's brain seemed to have some problems.

"Don't even think about it. Anyway, I'm blocked by you right now, and there's still a Hero Banner chasing me from behind. I won't survive. Even if I die, I will cover you with my snot!"

As she spoke, Liang Chen seemed to really want to flick Lin Zhen's nose. Lin Zhen felt disgusted and kicked the boy far away again with one foot.

This kick only strengthened Liang Chen's belief that Lin Zhen was going to abuse him. He put on a desperate and tragic look.

However, Lin Zhen didn't pay any attention to him and instead turned towards the direction Liang Chen had run from.

Now that killing the same zone wouldn't earn points, there was still a hero flag that wanted to kill him, which undoubtedly meant they had a grudge.

Since he encountered it, Lin Zhen couldn't just ignore it.

As expected, a figure quickly approached from that direction.

This person was also a Spiritual Mind Master, stepping on a flying sword under his feet, his speed was very fast as he flew over in a streak of light.

As he was about to get close, Lin Zhen glimpsed his chest.

East 39, a red hero flag.

Although he didn't know how this person ranked in the 39th battle zone, it didn't matter. Since they had met, Lin Zhen couldn't hold back.

Lin Zhen covered the distance of three steps within two steps and quickly met the oncoming person.

This hero flag was originally hunting Liang Chen, but when he saw Lin Zhen, his eyes lit up.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect to find a hero flag intruder here! This is great! But you haven't even managed to deal with that waste Liang Chen, and you still dare to challenge me. It seems that the 68th zone is a garbage area. Die!"

This Martial Artist's mind moved, and three flying daggers were launched first.

Lin Zhen snorted coldly and activated Time acceleration, instantly rushing to the front of the Spiritual Mind Master.

The Phantom Light Sword appeared in his hand, Taiyuan!

No need to use spiritual power or other assistance, Time Acceleration combined with Taiyuan Sword Skill was already an incredibly powerful killing force!

A streak of lightning tore the sky, and a long spatial rift appeared in the 39th zone, the heavens seemed to have cracked like the earth, and this hero flag was the first to bear the brunt!

"Puff~~!!"

The body of the Spiritual Mind Master continued to fly forward for a while before a jet of blood shot out, then a green light rose, and the person disappeared from the Divine Punishment Star.

With a single sword swing, Lin Zhen's points jumped again, from 1700s to 1600s.

"It was only a regular hero flag, not many points!"

At the same time, a message was played in the dimensional universe.

"In the Eastern Continent's 39th battle zone, the holder of the ninth hero flag, Lin Erhu, was killed by the holder of the Eastern Continent's 68th battle zone third hero flag, Lin Zhen!"

"Congratulations to Lin Zhen for being the first martial artist to kill a hero flag on the Divine Punishment Star. After the end of the Divine Punishment Star, you will receive a separate reward."

This message was played three times in a row, leaving Lin Zhen stunned.

He was the first!

It could also be considered luck since he was the first to leave by teleportation from the swimming pool and immediately encountered Liang Chen upon arriving here. This hero flag happened to be hunting Liang Chen, and Lin Zhen ran into it.

This event had a huge element of luck. Lin Zhen was quite happy, feeling that he was still favored by the heavens. He also found Liang Chen much more pleasing to the eye now.

Just as Lin Zhen's broadcast finished, the second one arrived: "Western Continent's 19th battle zone number one hero flag holder, Chou Yueshan, was killed by the Western Continent's 6th battle zone number one hero flag holder, Qin Jianfeng!"

The message only played once before it ended. It seems that only Lin Zhen's first kill received three repetitions.

However, in terms of actual value, Lin Zhen's kill couldn't compare with Qin Jianfeng's. Qin defeated a number one hero flag, while Lin Zhen only happened to kill a number nine hero flag along the way. The difference was too great.

"I stole Qin Jianfeng's number one spot. Maybe he'll hold a grudge against me for this."

Then another message arrived, the third kill was by a person named Boston.

The fourth kill was by Feng Qingluan, which made Lin Zhen overjoyed. Was Little Phoenix responding to him this way?

The fifth kill was by Jun Mo, a person Lin Zhen knew from the Phoenix Clan's Young Clan Leader.

Afterwards, a series of messages came one after another, as hero flags were continuously eliminated.

Qin Jianfeng even quickly killed his second hero flag, displaying his formidable strength.

Lin Zhen watched for a while, then suddenly turned around, kicked Liang Chen with a flying foot, making him tumble: "Are you done sneaking around like this? I'm telling you, kid, if you keep making these little moves, I'll really abuse you."

Seeing that he couldn't resist, Liang Chen immediately resorted to his old tactic, "If you dare to do this to me, Lin Zhen, I'll tell my mother!"

Lin Zhen squatted down beside Liang Chen, looked into his eyes, and said, "Why not tell your father? Isn't your father the Emperor?"

"Uh… They are husband and wife, what's the difference?" Liang Chen felt that Lin Zhen wasn't catching the main point of his words. Didn't he hear the threat in his statement?

It was then that Lin Zhen revealed a smile that was confusing to the people of Nan Liang: "Then if your father and mother get divorced one day, who will you choose to tell? Hmm…?"/p

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 689: Chapter 692: Canon Clan (Third Update)

When Lin Zhen asked this question, the people of Nan Liang almost collectively gasped.

Can the emperor and the queen also get divorced?

Why would Lin Zhen ask such a question?

Even some who had heard some rumors couldn't help but secretly speculate. However, this issue could not be casually talked about in the Dimensional Universe.

Liang Chen also looked bewildered and asked in confusion, "Why would they get divorced?"

"You don't need to ask why. You just need to tell me who you would choose to inform. If you answer well, I'll let you off today. If you don't, then you'll be eliminated soon. If you're eliminated now, you'll definitely miss out on the Qi of Divine Transformation in the future. Do you believe me?"

Although Liang Chen wanted to fight Lin Zhen to the death, no one would want to be eliminated if they could help it.

In fact, he was now experiencing a great sense of surprise. When had Lin Zhen become less fierce? This was like the sun rising from the west.

With a try-and-see attitude, Liang Chen answered, "If that's the case, I will definitely inform my mother, not my father."

"Oh! Why is that?"

"It's simple. For hundreds of years, I've been brought up by my mother. My father never cared about me. My growth and life were all dependent on her, she taught me martial arts, gave me money to spend and taught me how to be a person. Who else would I look for?"

"Hmm! You're a good child. Your mother's care for you hasn't been in vain. Get up."

Liang Chen looked incredulously at Lin Zhen, who helped him up, and asked, "Are you really not here to kill me?"

Lin Zhen snorted, "Do you think you're worth me making a special trip?"

As he said that, Lin Zhen felt a bit of an itch in his foot. He had just kicked Liang Chen four times and it felt quite good.

Liang Chen quietly moved two steps away, already having developed a psychological shadow from being kicked by Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, you didn't kill me this time, but I won't owe you any favors. You cheated me out of so much money before, which hurt me a lot. Although you saved me this time, let's just call it even. I won't tell my mother about this."

Lin Zhen glanced at him, "If you could let your mother confront me, I would have to thank you."

"Ah! Why? Are you crazy?" Liang Chen looked at Lin Zhen and felt that this guy was a bit stupid. If Ning Qingxuan really confronted Lin Zhen, would he still have a way to live?

Of course, Lin Zhen wouldn't explain this issue and ignored Liang Chen, taking out his map instead. He wanted to search for the next hero flag.

It must be said that the martial artists here were crazy. People from every war zone roamed around, their points skyrocketing at an alarming rate. One second they would rise by thousands or tens of thousands of places, but the next second they could be eliminated. Although Lin Zhen had killed a hero flag, in the short span of time that had passed, his overall rank had slipped to over three thousand.

"You don't have to follow me anymore. Just go directly to other war zones. You won't be able to earn points here."

Lin Zhen waved his hand, driving Liang Chen away. Only then did Liang Chen truly believe that Lin Zhen didn't want to harm him.

After knowing this, Liang Chen didn't want to leave.

"Why don't I stick with you for a while? Let's go to another war zone together, and work together against enemies. If I follow you, I should be able to earn quite a few points too. Just think of it as repaying the money you owe me."

Lin Zhen looked back at him and suddenly sent out a ghostly kick, sending Liang Chen flying several hundred meters away. Without turning his head, Lin Zhen left, still searching for Ke Xiangnan.

Lin Zhen and Liang Chen's conversation contained a significant amount of information.

First of all, these words confirmed the truthfulness of the content of the post. There were indeed conflicts between them, and Liang Chen had indeed been cheated out of a lot of money by Lin Zhen.

This also meant that Ning Qingxuan had also lost a lot of money along with them.

However, Lin Zhen's behavior didn't seem to harbor much resentment towards Liang Chen. On the contrary, he saved Liang Chen's life, although the method of doing so was somewhat crude – kicking the Crown Prince like a ball.

Regardless, he saved him. And let's not forget, Lin Zhen was the first one to kill an enemy's hero flag, which greatly boosted the momentum of Nan Liang.

Public opinion, which had originally been somewhat unfavorable for Lin Zhen, gradually began to turn around.

"The person who posted the message has ulterior motives. Although what he said is true, releasing it at this time is an obvious attempt to smear Lin Zhen."

"Yes indeed. No matter what Lin Zhen has done before, he's currently fighting for Nan Liang's glory. Just for that, I support him."

"Am I the only one who thinks Lin Zhen is taking care of His Royal Highness? It seems quite caring."

"I feel the same way, and I always feel there's more to Lin Zhen's words. Will the emperor and queen really get divorced?"

"Shh… Be careful what you say upstairs. Don't talk nonsense about some things."

Seeing everything in the Dimensional Universe, Liang Zhihuan's forehead veins nearly burst.

Lin Zhen actually took care of Liang Chen, undoubtedly at Ning Qingxuan's instruction.

What happened between them during those two years they were alone together? How much progress had been made? How far did it go?

Did they hold hands? Hug? Kiss? Sleep together?

Each thought was like a poison snake gnawing at Liang Zhihuan's heart, torturing him constantly.

"Shi Xiaomao! Find an opportunity to release the next explosive piece of news. We must tarnish Lin Zhen's reputation!"

Shi Xiaomao promised, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

In Building 39, Ke Xiangnan stood next to a martial artist.

Although he was a genius from the Kirin clan, Ke Xiangnan did not have a good time in the Original World.

Due to the influence of the Lin Zhen incident, he had not received the full support from his clan, nor had he obtained the cultivation resources he needed. After hundreds of years, he finally managed to eliminate Lin Zhen's impact.

However, his cultivation had been delayed, and to this day, Ke Xiangnan was only a Fourth-Level World King.

It may sound good, but one must remember that he had cultivated for 700 years more than Lin Zhen!

This time, Ke Xiangnan got a spot for the Divine Punishment Star battle thanks to his elder brother, Ke Xiangdong.

Ke Xiangdong was now a Peak Level Nine World King and a Hero Flag owner in the Northern Continent.

But before meeting up with his brother, Ke Xiangnan still had to watch the expression on this martial artist's face.

This was No.1 Hero Flag owner in the Eastern Continent's 39th Battle Zone – Ye Changtian!

Ye Changtian did not belong to any country but a martial arts sect called the Secret Sect.

The Secret Sect's Young Master, Holy Word, was the fourth-ranked super-strong individual on the continent, and Ye Changtian was one of his Four Gods.

Ye Changtian's overall ranking was within the top 100, making him a very powerful martial artist.

"So embarrassing! The first eliminated Hero Flag is from our Battle Zone, that bastard Lin Erhu!"

Ke Xiangnan said to Ye Changtian beside him, "Boss, the person who eliminated Lin Erhu is someone I know. He's also from the New World and we've competed in the past, so he's not to be underestimated."

"Are you talking about Lin Zhen? Is he here to find you?"

Ke Xiangnan gave a bitter smile, "It's possible; this guy is vindictive and quite a bastard."

"Well then, it's easy to deal with. You go to the top of the building, raise a flag with your name on it, and shout loudly for Lin Zhen to attract him over."

"What! I'm going… going to be a target?"

"Nonsense! Without doing this, how can we lure this guy out the fastest way? Are we going to let him slaughter in our 39th Zone?"

Ke Xiangnan's face turned as pale as a dead mother. He was almost certain Lin Zhen was here to find him; otherwise, why would he be in this particular battle zone out of one hundred? He would be avoiding Lin Zhen if he could, let alone going out to die.

However, he didn't dare to defy Ye Changtian's words, so he reluctantly went out.

He waved a big flag on the roof and kept shouting Lin Zhen's name, making the surrounding martial artists look at him like a fool.

In the Western Continent, a Hero Flag martial artist fell to the ground, covered in blood.

"Puff~!"

Qin Jianfeng pulled out his sword with a gloomy look on his face.

On his chest were now two Level Three Gold Stars.

This meant that he had killed twelve Hero Flags.

However, he wasn't happy, as the first kill was stolen by Lin Zhen. He had been a step too slow, and now the Hero Flags were getting scarcer and scarcer.

Checking the Continental Rankings, out of the 4,000 Hero Flags, less than 3,000 were left.

In just under three hours, one-third had been eliminated.

"The Hero Flags in the Western Continent are getting scarce, and it's not that satisfying to kill. I should go to other continents to have some fun."

"The Holy Word of the Secret Sect is on the Eastern Continent, and his Four Gods are there too. And there's also that mysterious La Moti. Ocean Emperor Boston is in the Southern Continent, and the Three Ocean Gladiators are in the south as well. These two places should be saved for later."

"Now I can only go to the Northern Continent. It's the territory of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, with many different races. It's just right for mass slaughter. Although I'll lose half of my points, I won't take long to earn it back!"

As soon as the idea came, Qin Jianfeng used the teleportation array to go to the Northern Continent.

The teleportation loss of half of his points instantly knocked Qin Jianfeng off the first place.

However, no one dared to underestimate him. Qin Jianfeng was the first person to cross continents for battle. Knowing that he was heading north, the Northern Continent was suddenly on edge.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Nan Liang, Liang Zhihuan was meeting with someone.

This was an unremarkable martial artist, who was now only at the Five-Level Constant Star and was not worth mentioning in terms of strength.

Shi Xiaomao introduced him to Liang Zhihuan, "Your Majesty, this is the Canon Clan martial artist you were looking for. His name is Laxia."

Liang Zhihuan's gaze scrutinized Laxia up and down, full of deep suspicion.

"Respected Majesty, I can guess what you're thinking. You probably think that since this kid's strength is so poor, his other half can't be strong either, am I right?"

Liang Zhihuan didn't make a sound, but his expression said it all.

"I can understand your feelings, but please believe me, Your Majesty. Our Canon Clan martial artists are born with two heads, four arms, and four legs. In order to achieve success, we must split one person into two."

"All the spirit, talent, ability, and even luck are concentrated in the other half, leaving the remaining half basically useless. So don't look at me being only at the Constant Star Stage, the weaker I am, the stronger my other half."

"So what's your other half's name?"

"Well, why don't you open the rankings and see the martial artist ranked fourth in the overall standings? Isn't La Moti just like me in appearance?"

Liang Zhihuan hurriedly opened the rankings and looked at the information of the fourth-ranked Holy Word, only to discover that Laxia was right – they looked exactly the same!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 690: Chapter 693: Ke Xiangdong's Grand Battle!

Liang Zhihuan knew a bit about the legend of the Canon Clan as well.

The two people of the Canon Clan were actually one person, which was a form of life, rather than a clone or twins or anything like that.

La Moti was Laxia, and the Laxia in front of him was the mysterious La Moti on the Divine Punishment Star.

"Well, I'll just call you La Moti directly since Laxia and La Moti are originally one person anyway."

But Laxia waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! I am Laxia, and the other half is La Moti. If Your Majesty meets my other half, you can call him La Moti, but I am not."

Liang Zhihuan was a little speechless, they were originally just one person, so why make it so complicated?

"Your Majesty, this time it's you who came to me voluntarily, and promised to give me a huge reward, which I accepted to tell you my identity in order to gain your trust. I believe you won't publicize this kind of thing, but if you call me La Moti and others hear about it, my identity will be exposed. Have you ever thought about the consequences of that?"

Liang Zhihuan suddenly realized and immediately said, "I've been abrupt, Mr. Laxia. Please tell me about your situation now."

"I'd like to know first, who is the person you want me to kill?"

"If I asked you to kill Qin Jianfeng, could you do it?" Liang Zhihuan deliberately raised a difficult question. Qin Jianfeng was now known as the number one person in the World King realm. Not to mention martial artists of the same rank, even Longevity Warriors had been killed by Qin Jianfeng. Even Liang Zhihuan, a Longevity Warrior himself, did not dare to talk about killing Qin Jianfeng. He was deliberately making things difficult for Laxia.

"Hehe! It depends on the rewards you give, Your Majesty. La Moti has no assurance of defeating Qin Jianfeng in a head-on battle, but there's a good chance he could succeed in an assassination. If the rewards are high enough, he might actually give it a try."

Seeing Laxia's calm demeanor, Liang Zhihuan finally felt at ease.

If he dared to accept the task of killing Qin Jianfeng, defeating Lin Zhen would be even easier.

"Hahaha! Mr. Laxia is really quick with words. This time the target is not Qin Jianfeng, but this person…"

Lin Zhen's information was handed over by Shi Xiaomao, and Laxia took a look: "Oh! It's actually this person, the one who got the First Hero Flag. Isn't he a martial artist from Nan Liang? Why does the Nan Liang Emperor want to personally eliminate a martial artist from his own country? What kind of deep hatred and resentment do you have?"

"It seems that it has nothing to do with what we're talking about, Mr. Laxia. Just say whether you can accept this task."

Liang Zhihuan didn't want to discuss this topic; it was simply too embarrassing. Even if other emperors were cuckolded, it was because they had too many wives and couldn't take care of them all. But he, Liang Zhihuan, only loved one person, and even then he was cuckolded. This matter was really unspeakable.

"Alright, I won't ask. For this person, I want 50 billion, and half of it must be paid as a deposit first."

Although the price was a bit high, Liang Zhihuan couldn't care less at the moment; he must snipe Lin Zhen.

"Alright, but Mr. Laxia better choose a critical time to take action. My request is not only to eliminate him but also to hit him hard!"

"Alright, I like to play like that too. I'll choose an appropriate time and inform you in advance."

As he spoke, a Dimensional Universe projection was sent over.

This was an image from inside the Divine Punishment Star. You should know that the Divine Punishment Star was unable to use the Dimensional Universe.

But Laxia and La Moti were originally one person. The things La Moti recorded, he could directly receive them on this side. He was the only person who could communicate between the Divine Punishment Star and the outside world.

He passed the data to Liang Zhihuan, and in the projection, La Moti was killing a Hero Flag.

It was the number one ranked martial artist in another war zone, but when La Moti approached him in the darkness, the martial artist had no idea whatsoever.

It wasn't until La Moti was close enough in front of him, with his short knife stabbing out that the martial artist finally had a hint of awareness. But it was all too late; he was killed in one blow!

"This… this assassination technique is so strong!"

"Hehe! It's okay, Your Majesty. Just wait for my good news. I'll make sure to strike him a fatal blow at Lin Zhen's proudest moment!"

"Then I'll just wait for your good news!" At this moment, Liang Zhihuan finally felt a bit at ease. Lin Zhen's performance was being broadcast live across Nan Liang, and everyone was watching. When he was killed suddenly by someone, this hero would have to fall from grace, right?

Lin Zhen stood at the corner of a street, watching Ke Xiangnan waving flags on top of a tall building from afar and shouting loudly.

"Keep shouting, I'm not going to kill you right away. I'll wait until you're tired."

Lin Zhen ignored Ke Xiangnan and continued to roam the streets, attacking any martial artists he came across.

There were also many martial artists coming to challenge Lin Zhen, wanting to kill the outsider as well.

However, at this point, ordinary martial artists no longer posed a threat to Lin Zhen. Without defeating a Hero Flag, Lin Zhen's points continued to steadily increase.

After staying in Area 39 for three days, Lin Zhen killed the second Hero Flag.

This Area 7 ranked martial artist was killed by Lin Zhen's sword.

After killing the second Hero Flag, Lin Zhen still didn't rush to deal with Ke Xiangnan and instead left Area 39 and went to Area 75.

When Ke Xiangnan saw Lin Zhen's figure disappear in the teleportation array, he hesitated for a moment, then jumped down from the tall building.

"He ran away! This damned guy is as timid as a mouse."

Ke Xiangnan sat on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief. Now that Lin Zhen was gone, he didn't need to worry too much.

He gestured to the heroes waiting in the shadows, who, seeing that Lin Zhen had left, turned and left one by one.

Ke Xiangnan took out his cell phone, which he had collected on this planet. It was said to be a global phone; although usual communication methods didn't work in the Dimensional Universe, with the boundaries now open, he could still use his phone to communicate with some people.

"Hey! Brother, it's me. Lin Zhen is gone, and the kid didn't dare to touch me. I'm safe now, so you don't have to worry."

On the other end of the phone, Ke Xiangdong smiled when he heard his brother's call.

"That's good. Xiangnan, you don't know how many people here are from the Eastern Continent, including Master Qin Dong and many brothers from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. If you had any problems, I would have been able to gather dozens of heroes to help you immediately. As for Lin Zhen, we would just crush him to dust!"

"Haha! Don't worry, brother. Lin Zhen doesn't have that much courage. He's nothing more than a homeless dog who can't even return to his own Kirin Clan. If he wants to deal with me, he'd have to take the Star River Giant Beast Alliance behind me into account. Unless he's stupid, he absolutely won't… Ah!"

Just as Ke Xiangnan was belittling Lin Zhen, a sudden gust of wind came from behind!

Ke Xiangnan realized things weren't good but it was too late to turn around and defend himself. A flash of Sword Light slashed down, and the Grand Void!

To deal with a low-level World King like Ke Xiangnan, Lin Zhen didn't even need to use his full strength. With a casual strike, he completely finished Ke Xiangnan off!

"You… You actually came back!"

"Yes, it's nothing more than wasting some points. Ke Xiangnan, many things aren't unavenged; it's just that the time wasn't right. Congratulations, you won't be getting any of the Qi of Divine Transformation now!"

Ke Xiangnan's current Points Ranking was over ten thousand. After being eliminated, his points were halved, dropping him down to over seventy thousand. By the time Divine Punishment Star ends, there's no way he'll make it back into the top hundred thousand.

"Lin Zhen… You won't have a good end. I… I'll be waiting for you… outside!"

Ke Xiangnan said something into the phone, and then his body fell to the ground. Afterward, he was wrapped in a green light and teleported out.

Before he left, Ke Xiangdong's anxious voice could still be heard on the phone.

Lin Zhen grabbed the phone and yelled into it, "Ke Xiangnan is dead! If you have anything to say to him, go pray to his spirit!"

"Lin Zhen, you bastard…!"

Crack! Lin Zhen smashed the phone to pieces.

On the other end of the call, Ke Xiangdong's body trembled with rage.

"Alright, Lin Zhen! You dare to eliminate Xiangnan, you're cutting off his hope of advancing to Longevity! Xiangnan had a chance to get the Qi of Divine Transformation, and you ruined it! I will not let you go!"

Ke Xiangdong picked up the phone and started dialing.

As a Peak Level 9 World King, Ke Xiangdong was currently ranked the second among the young generation of the Fire Kirin Clan, just after Qin Dong.

"Brother Qin, my brother was eliminated by Lin Zhen in Zone 39… Yes! Send someone to kill him!"

"Hello! Is this Old Brother Xie from Black Tortoise Clan? Help me deal with someone, come to Zone 39."

"Brother Yuan Kui from Violent Ape Clan? I'm Ke Xiangdong from the Fire Kirin Clan. Haha! Help me out, will you…?"

Ke Xiangdong had quite a good personal relationship with many people. He had made many friends during his 700 years in the Original World, and there were many members of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance in the Eastern Continent.

He made one call after another, not only for revenge on Ke Xiangnan but also to give Lin Zhen a warning – this was no longer the New World, and Lin Zhen still had a long way to go before he could compete with the Ke brothers.

Even after leaving Divine Punishment Star, he would make sure Lin Zhen never dared to provoke them again!

Lin Zhen felt relieved after eliminating Ke Xiangnan.

Looking at the Points Ranking, he was currently ranked over 1,200.

He had previously been in the top 1,000, but due to teleporting twice to kill Ke Xiangnan, 20% of his points were deducted, causing him to drop to over 1,200.

"Now that they can't set up an ambush for me, I should go on a killing spree. Only the top 100 can get the spots for refining their Divine Bodies, and I'm still far from that."

Lin Zhen checked his own status, and he could now use Star Energy Transfer and take Divine Power Pills. It could be said he was at his best state right now.

Moreover, after killing Ke Xiangnan, he could even see heroes' banners gradually increasing on the map.

"One, two, three, four… So many heroes' banners just showed up in no time. I didn't expect that killing Ke Xiangnan would cause such a hornet's nest. Well, it's just right. Let's be unrestrained for once!"

Chapter 691: Chapter 694: Unprecedented Strength!

Ke Xiangdong stood at the teleportation circle, greeting one Hero Flag arrival after another.

"Thanks, old brother, for coming. Hard work, hard work!"

"Brother Qin, I'm counting on you this time. Although Lin Zhen's ranking isn't high, his strength is really not bad. I've done a lot of research on him."

"Brother Yuan Kui, you are the main force today. If Lin Zhen wants to run, you can't let him escape."

Qin Dong is from the same clan as Ke Xiangdong. He is actually the son of Elder Qin from the Fire Kirin Clan. Elder Qin also hated Lin Zhen. If it weren't for Lin Zhen, he would have had a chance to become the clan leader.

But because of Lin Zhen, Elder Qin's status in the Fire Kirin Clan also slipped. As the top young generation of the Fire Kirin Clan, even without Ke Xiangdong's invitation, Qin Dong wouldn't let Lin Zhen go.

Xie Wenqi belonged to the Xuanwu Clan, had a good relationship with Ke Xiangdong, and was also a top expert ranked in the top four hundred in the Divine Punishment Star. He came along to help this time as well.

Yuan Kui, on the other hand, was a powerful Violent Ape from the Super Star River Beast clan. He even ranked in the top 150 on the Divine Punishment Star, and his strength was similar to Qin Dong's. Both had the potential to compete for a place in the divine body refining.

None of these people came alone but brought a few friends.

In just a moment, more than twenty Hero Flags had gathered here.

"Ke brother, don't worry, we're friends now. Your business is my business. Lin Zhen is still here, isn't he?"

Yuan Kui, who was over two meters tall, looked like a silver-backed gorilla, exceptionally strong, giving off a fearless feeling.

Ke Xiangdong laughed: "He hasn't left. I've been guarding the teleportation circle here to prevent him from leaving. You can check the map; he is not far ahead. I guess he's trying to find a chance to slip away."

"Slip away? With so many of us here, there's no chance he'll get away. Everyone should be vigilant later and not let this little monkey run away!" Yuan Kui said loudly.

Qin Dong also spoke, "Lin Zhen is extremely shameless and despicable. When we face him later, we mustn't kill him easily. We should torture him slowly to avenge the younger brother Xiangnan."

These Hero Flags nodded one after another. Since they were here, they didn't plan to let Lin Zhen off easily. After all, he was just a low-ranked Hero Flag at 1,200 and had gotten the first kill by luck. It made other Hero Flags quite jealous, and they wanted to vent their anger together.

"Let's go! Let's meet this kid!"

With a wave of Ke Xiangdong's hand, leaving two Hero Flags and several non-Hero Flag experts guarding the teleportation circle to prevent Lin Zhen's escape, he led more than twenty Hero Flags towards Lin Zhen's direction with high spirits.

Ye Changtian looked at the arrival of these Hero Flags from the tall building, frowning slightly.

"These people are here to clean up Lin Zhen, so I don't have to take action. But I should inform the Holy Word young master that there are plenty of points here. After they clean up Lin Zhen, our secret sect martial artists will play the role of the opportunist once more."

Picking up the phone, Ye Changtian began to inform Holy Word and the others. Secret Sect martial artists were also in the Eastern Continent, which was their hunting ground.

However, they were all waiting for Ye Changtian's accurate information. When the situation here was about to be concluded, they would come over.

But in Ye Changtian's view, their enemies should be those twenty-plus Hero Flags. Lin Zhen had no chance in front of them.

When numerous Hero Flags appeared in front of Lin Zhen, the people of Nan Liang were stunned.

Who did Lin Zhen offend? He's actually being besieged by so many Hero Flags.

Although there were still many people in the Dimensional Universe who scorned Lin Zhen, the people of Nan Liang still could not help but be angry when they saw this scene.

"Doesn't it just shame them? Lin Zhen just killed a lackey, right?"

"Is it necessary to have such a big lineup? Do they think there's no one in Nan Liang to stop them?"

"Many people bully the few. These guys really disgrace martial artists. Lin Zhen! Kill them!"

"Lin Zhen, even though I'm not happy with you for bullying the Crown Prince and deceiving the Crown Princess for money, if you can give Nan Liang a good name this time, I will change my opinion about you!"

"Don't expect to survive. But even if you die, die standing. Lin Zhen, fight for some dignity!"

The voices in the Dimensional Universe supporting Lin Zhen were resounding, which was also a blessing in disguise since it completely eradicated the negative impact brought by Liang Zhihuan when he was against Lin Zhen for the first time.

However, Liang Zhihuan didn't care. As long as Lin Zhen could be eliminated, he was willing to pay any price.

Lin Zhen lightly played with the Phantom Light Sword in his hand, watching the more than twenty people approaching from all around.

"You really think highly of me, sending over twenty people."

His gaze swept across the chests of these people. These Hero Flags had all survived the first round of elimination and had one or more combat achievements. For example, the Violent Ape martial artist had six gold stars on his chest.

"Violent Ape, Xuanwu, Ke Xiangdong, and another Fire Kirin martial artist. These four are the strongest."

Just as Lin Zhen was analyzing, Ke Xiangdong had already stepped forward and approached Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, I bet you didn't expect it, right? When you eliminated Xiangnan, did you not think that I was behind him? This is called instant karma; just a few minutes after you eliminated Xiangnan and were pleased with yourself, you face a desperate situation. If you were to choose again, would you have the courage to do the same?"

Lin Zhen sneered at Ke Xiangdong, "Even if I had a hundred chances to choose again, I still wouldn't let anyone who needs to be taken care of go. Do you really think that by gathering this group of crappy potatoes and rotten eggs, you can threaten me?"

"What!" Ke Xiangdong was suddenly furious.

"You really don't know what's good for you. Even when death is upon you, you still stubbornly talk. I was going to give you a quick end, but now it seems that's unnecessary. Lin Zhen, you will be the most miserable one to die on the Divine Punishment Star."

After that, Ke Xiangdong turned his head and said, "Everyone, I invited you here because I have something good to share with you. This Lin Zhen will be our plaything today. You can deal with him however you want. Any brothers who want to volunteer can have a go."

At this moment, Xie Wenqi from the Xuanwu Clan walked out, followed by two other martial artists from his clan.

"Brother Ke, we agreed in advance that Lin Zhen is actually a member of your Fire Kirin Clan as well, so if we kill him later, the Fire Kirins won't come looking for trouble with me, will they?"

"Hahaha! Brother Xie, you're joking. How can Lin Zhen be considered a warrior of the Fire Kirin Clan? He couldn't even make it through the Heavenly Gate, and he still hasn't found the way to the Kirin Clan's entrance. If Brother Xie eliminates him, this kid will have even less chance to join the Fire Kirin Clan. So, you don't have to save face for me, just give him hell!"

"Then, we won't be polite!"

Xie Wenqi, along with the two other Xuanwu martial artists, surrounded Lin Zhen in a pinwheel formation.

"Lin Zhen, don't say I didn't give you a chance. It's best to abandon any illusions of resisting and don't try to attack us. Our Xuanwu Clan is born with a strong defense. No matter what kind of physical attack, elemental attack, or mental shock you might have, it will not do any harm to us. If you provoke us, the three of us are enough to torture you little by little until you die, and you will be powerless against us."

Lin Zhen looked at the three approaching and spoke indifferently, "With all your babbling, are you emphasizing how hard your turtle shells are?"

This remark left Xie Wenqi speechless.

In the Dimensional Universe, the audience in Nan Liang burst into laughter.

Lin Zhen was calm under pressure and still had the mood to mock the other party, which slightly relieved their tension.

But Xie Wenqi couldn't see any of this, and the veins on his face were jumping up and down, "Bastard! You just said the words I hate the most in my life. Before you die, I want to remind you that Xuanwu is one of the four divine beasts and is considered a Super Star River Beast, not some turtle as you mentioned!"

"You're the turtle! Your whole family is a bunch of turtles!"

"Let's go! Let's kill this insolent bastard!"

Xie Wenqi roared, leading his two subordinates as the three of them charged at Lin Zhen!

As the three of them rushed over, they weren't particularly fast, but they were covered in a layer of yellow light, which was a powerful defense of the Xuanwu Clan.

Although they denied being turtles, the Xuanwu Clan is still a divine turtle species, and this defensive shell is their innate skill, which they cannot avoid using.

As long as this turtle shell remains unbroken, the Xuanwu Clan will remain undefeated.

Those watching from behind with their hero banners revealed a hint of envy, as this group had the advantage.

Facing the ferocious faces, Lin Zhen activated Star Energy Transfer and decisively swallowed a Divine Power Pill!

With his main body having 7 million Star Power and his clone having 3 million, Lin Zhen's total Star Power reached an unprecedented 10 million!

With the Divine Power Pill boosting his power by 40%, his Star Power doubled to 14 million!

This was a power Lin Zhen had never experienced before. The moment the Star Power erupted, a wave of air surged around him!

"Boom!" The gust of wind made the hair of the group of heroes standing behind him fly, and their faces changed dramatically!

"Careful!"

Feeling the surge of Lin Zhen's power, Ke Xiangdong and his group shouted a warning from the back.

But it was too late. After Lin Zhen's Star Power erupted, his Phantom Light Sword was already swinging.

With time acceleration, Lin Zhen's hand speed was as fast as lightning, and two devastating Sword Qi struck the two Xuanwu warriors rushing from both sides.

The so-called defense seemed like paper in front of Lin Zhen's Sword Qi, and it was directly shattered. The warriors didn't even get a chance to say anything before they were wrapped in blue light and eliminated.

At this moment, Xie Wenqi had no way to retreat and could only accelerate his charge, maxing out his defensive power.

Lin Zhen showed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, made a nimble turn, and slashed down with his Phantom Light Sword again!

The Taiyuan Divine Sword appeared once more!

At this moment, the scene froze: Lin Zhen's sword came down, and a crack in space cleaved across Xie Wenqi's body.

"Crack!"

The turtle shell cracked, followed by his body, and then a spray of blood!

A series of Dimensional Universe notifications rang out one after another.

"The owner of the 52nd District 7th Hero Banner in the Eastern Continent, Zhang Dongliang, has been eliminated by the owner of the 68th District 3rd Hero Banner in the Eastern Continent, Lin Zhen! This is a special announcement!"

"The owner of the 87th District 5th Hero Banner in the Eastern Continent, Ren Jie, has been eliminated by the owner of the 68th District 3rd Hero Banner in the Eastern Continent, Lin Zhen! This is a special announcement!"

"The owner of the 11th District 1st Hero Banner in the Eastern Continent, Xie Wenqi, has been eliminated by the owner of the 68th District 3rd Hero Banner in the Eastern Continent, Lin Zhen! This is a special announcement!"

Chapter 692: Chapter 695: Let's Fight! (Third Update)

Three continuous alerts from the Dimensional Universe caused the entire Divine Punishment Star to fall silent for a moment.

"It's him again…" Qin Jianfeng stopped his sword.

"An interesting kid." Boston gazed into the east.

"Lin Zhen, my love! Well done!" A touch of tenderness flashed in Feng Qingluan's beautiful eyes.

"It's Lin Zhen again. I should find an opportunity to take care of him." Jun Mo also stopped.

Lin Zhen succeeded with a single move and didn't hesitate to rush forward, heading straight for a group of Martial Artists holding hero flags!

"What an arrogant kid!"

"Everyone, be on guard! This kid is drugged, his Star Power is ridiculously high right now!"

"Spread out, don't engage him head-on!"

The hero flags weren't handed out for nothing; the group scattered with a bang, preparing to attack Lin Zhen from all directions.

But they still underestimated Lin Zhen's speed. After finishing off Xie Wenqi with a single sword strike, Lin Zhen almost instantly charged in front of the crowd, with two hero flags unable to dodge in time. Lin Zhen swiftly approached them, swinging his Phantom Light Sword left and right!

Great Beginning! Grand Void!

With two consecutive slashes under the stimulation of 14 million Star Power, these two swords unleashed tremendous power.

These two Martial Artists with hero flags were originally weaker, they couldn't resist Lin Zhen at all and were instantly killed and eliminated on the spot!

After killing two people, Lin Zhen didn't even pause. He crossed paths with another Martial Artist who was fleeing and hadn't had time to turn around, repeatedly launching his sword qi with a flick of his fingers.

"Plop plop plop~!"

A few sword qi strikes were released, and the Martial Artist was shot down in mid-air. Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a golden Seven Stars Knife slashed across his throat, finishing off another one.

At this moment, a Martial Artist closest to Lin Zhen suddenly turned around and thrust his Back Horse Spear at Lin Zhen.

"You're not worthy to play with a spear in front of me!"

Lin Zhen swung his long sword, and the Satellite Fall appeared!

Star Power clashed head-on without any fancy tricks, the Martial Artist felt a powerful force rushing towards him, as if he were hit by a meteor. He died on the spot!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!

A barrage of attacks rained down on Lin Zhen, his body moving like a ghost, accelerating and decelerating in time. He weaved through countless attacks until he suddenly appeared next to a Martial Artist.

This Martial Artist swung his long knife at Lin Zhen, who bent over and suddenly slid under his armpit, instantly appearing in front of another Martial Artist. He swung his sword with one hand, and Taiyuan came again!

"Crack~!"

A thunder-like sword strike that no one could withstand. Another hero flag bearer died under Lin Zhen's sword.

Lin Zhen flew past the Martial Artist he had missed, and with a furious roar, the Martial Artist turned around. But Lin Zhen turned faster, and the two of them were suddenly face to face.

Spiritual Evil Impact!

The Spiritual Power rushed into the opponent's mind. The hero flag bearer tried to resist, but in the face of Lin Zhen's Golden Peak Spiritual Power, his resistance was futile. He collapsed instantly, and his brain died!

Swish swish swish swish~~!!

With a series of continuous attacks pouring down like raindrops, Lin Zhen suddenly leaped up, dodging the attacks from three or four people. Using his Spiritual Power to guide a shield to draw an arc, he saw that the position of several Martial Artists was just perfect, and he quickly unleashed his Divine Infant's Outburst!

The Divine Infant swung a long spear like bullets penetrating a row of wooden boards, successively piercing the minds of three hero flag bearers!

The Golden Divine Infant ignored physical attacks and barriers. The opponents' resistance was futile. Even if they possessed a Divine Infant, it would be hard to stop Lin Zhen's Divine Infant's spear!

After several consecutive muffled hums, the three hero flag bearers successively fell to the ground, dead on the spot!

The entire Dimensional Universe went crazy!

Because, at this moment, news started popping out one by one!

"Eastern Continent 77th District 6th Hero Flag holder Chen Zhihuan was eliminated by Eastern Continent 68th District 3rd Hero Flag holder Lin Zhen! Special announcement!"

"Eastern Continent 12th District 5th Hero Flag holder Zhang Fei was eliminated by Eastern Continent 68th District 3rd Hero Flag holder Lin Zhen! Special announcement!"

"Eastern Continent 35th District 10th Hero Flag holder Dongmen Qing was eliminated by Eastern Continent 68th District 3rd Hero Flag holder Lin Zhen! Special announcement!"

"Eastern Continent…"

More than ten consecutive alerts blew up on the screen. In such a short instant, Lin Zhen had already killed twelve hero flag bearers!

Especially the people of Nan Liang, who were watching the action-packed scene from Lin Zhen's perspective. They could clearly see one hero flag bearer after another brutally killed and eliminated, with blood spraying everywhere!

The scene was simply too shocking!

"Oh-oh-oh! Lin Zhen, you're a god!"

"Awesome! Damn it! Lin Zhen, even if you cuckolded the Emperor, I'll forgive you today!"

"That's right! Just fight! Just kill! Lin Zhen, you're my idol!"

"Who dares to say that our Nan Liang is a low-level kingdom, who dares to say that our Nan Liang has no one capable? Look who this is, this is Lin Zhen! This is fucking Lin Zhen! The invincible Lin Zhen in the world!"

"Domain King! I admit that you're the number one Domain King in the world; all the World Kings in front of you are nothing but trash!"

Not only could the people of Nan Liang watch, but it should be known that these dead hero flags also came from various countries, and people from their countries supported them and watched their battles.

But the martial artists they supported were killed by Lin Zhen like chickens, making them angry and annoyed. At the same time, they couldn't help but admire Lin Zhen's overwhelming strength.

A Domain King-level hero flag could actually rampage and dominate in front of a group of World King hero flags, just for this reason, all martial artists could not help but admire him.

Moreover, people from Nan Liang repeatedly uploaded the videos of the battles to the Dimensional Universe, causing a huge stir in no time.

Liang Zhihuan, as the Emperor of Nan Liang, received countless congratulatory messages at this moment.

Without exception, these messages congratulated him on the emergence of a super powerful figure in Nan Liang. If Lin Zhen could be promoted to the World King, it would be absolutely incredible!

As for these messages, Liang Zhihuan could only respond with a bitter smile, unable to say anything to refute them.

"Lin Zhen…it would be so nice if you were an obedient subject, but unfortunately, you seduced my wife. For that reason alone, even if you are strong, I will never tolerate you!"

Ke Xiangdong brought a total of twenty-three hero flags, but within a minute of fighting Lin Zhen, he lost twelve!

Twelve hero flag martial artists, each with stars, were slaughtered by Lin Zhen in less than a minute, causing his Divine Punishment Star ranking to instantly soar to 102!

And on Lin Zhen's chest, there was now a two-star three-star hero flag!

This was not about defeating Lin Zhen, but rather, sending heads to him.

Seeing that Lin Zhen was about to continue chasing and killing, fortunately, at this moment, Qin Dong and Yuan Kui both took action!

As the strongest among the more than twenty people, Qin Dong and Yuan Kui had originally planned to take the stage steadily, but they didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so fierce, slaughtering the hero flags here like cutting melons and vegetables, making them panic.

The two of them could no longer bother showing the demeanor of a master, and immediately rushed out of the crowd, charging towards Lin Zhen!

Qin Dong had a pair of swords in his hands, while Yuan Kui had a golden long stick. They attacked from left and right.

Lin Zhen stepped on the Plum Blossom Piles' footwork, and swung the Phantom Light Sword in his hands, using the technique Grand Void!

A sword light struck towards Yuan Kui!

Yuan Kui let out an angry roar, "Lin Zhen, boy, don't show off your little tricks in front of this uncle, this uncle is not like those rubbish just now!"

The golden long stick in his hand swung around fiercely and collided with Lin Zhen's sword qi!

Lin Zhen's body swayed slightly. Although he didn't retreat, his arms felt a little numb!

"This Yuan Kui has a great deal of strength, among the Super Star River Beasts, if we're talking about pure melee talents, the Violent Ape is definitely one of the strong ones. And this Yuan Kui is one of the strong ones among the Violent Apes, with innate divine power, making him really hard to deal with!"

Just as Lin Zhen was about to use his Spiritual Power, Qin Dong's twin swords had already attacked like a ghost.

The opponent's speed was astonishing!

Lin Zhen turned, and the longsword continuously collided with each other, as they fought at an intense and fast pace, like exploding firecrackers.

Yuan Kui's long stick attacked again, and Lin Zhen could only split his attention, wielding the Phantom Light Sword to fend off both opponents!

Both of them fought Lin Zhen with all their strength, not giving Lin Zhen any chance to catch his breath and adjust, but they couldn't defeat Lin Zhen, and were even somewhat at a disadvantage!

The reason was that Lin Zhen's Star Power was too strong, with 14 million. If they were fighting one-on-one, the two of them would already be dead!

"All of you, get up!"

Ke Xiangdong saw the scene and knew that if they didn't take Lin Zhen down now, they might never be able to do it. With a loud roar, the nine hero flags, including himself, rushed up at once!

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Lin Zhen gritted his teeth fiercely, bring it on! Just perfect!

Swinging his sword, he blocked Yuan Kui's attack, and Lin Zhen left an opening on purpose, allowing Qin Dong's twin swords to pierce into him. He spread his arms and used Armorization!

"Puff puff~!!"

Both longswords pierced into his body, but Lin Zhen's body was extremely tough and strong after the Armorization, so the two swords were not fatal.

He transformed into a Black Hole Beast!

Qin Dong's body was suddenly lifted by Lin Zhen, and he lay prone on the back of the huge Black Hole Beast.

His clothes burst inch by inch, and Lin Zhen roared to the sky as he faced the waving long stick of Yuan Kui and all the other hero flags, including Ke Xiangdong.

"You want to besiege me? Are you ready to die?"

"Roar~~!!"

A thunderous roar shook the earth, making the surrounding Eastern Continent's 39th District Martial Artists who were watching from afar flee in panic. Yuan Kui, Ke Xiangdong, and the others could not escape – in front of their eyes there was only a huge Black Hole!

A Black Hole created by 14 million Star Power, which could not be resisted by those with less than 28 million Star Power!

None of them, including Yuan Kui and Ke Xiangdong, had the slightest resistance. Screaming and falling into the Black Hole, they were bound to be disintegrated into molecules when they were wrapped in azure light and eliminated from the game.

Swallowed by the Black Hole, it was an instant death!

Lin Zhen devoured ten hero flags in one bite, ignoring the continuous Dimensional Universe prompts, and directly shook his body, throwing Qin Dong off his back.

"Don't kill me! My father is Elder Qin of the Fire Kirin Clan!" Qin Dong was dumbfounded, not expecting Lin Zhen to be so strong, he wanted to surrender immediately.

"Elder Qin….perfect! Go back and greet your father, and tell him that Lin Zhen is the one who stepped you to death!"

Thinking of Elder Qin who had trapped him for seven hundred years, Lin Zhen was furious. Had it not been for the mirrored space, he probably would have been close to advancing to Longevity by now.

Without saying another word, he raised his huge foot and stomped Qin Dong directly into the mud with a loud thud!
