Chapter 757: Chapter 760: The 10th Round Showdown!

Originally, the people of Qin Kingdom had already despaired, and many spectators who were cursing began to leave the venue. However, after the last black-robed man killed the mad Xiao Se, they came back.

Lin Zhen's and Xiao Se's fight was a close victory, but this black-robed man could easily kill Xiao Se, which meant that Lin Zhen was no longer a match for him.

The hope of the people of the Qin Kingdom was reignited, and they eagerly expected Lin Zhen to be eliminated in the last round.

It seemed quite wonderful to think about it: Lin Zhen had fought all the way to this point, only to be eliminated at the last moment. It would release the anger in the hearts of the people of the Qin Kingdom.

The long-silent wave of cheering rose again, and banners were waved once more.

And the previously relaxed supporters of Lin Zhen started feeling tense again.

The tenth round of the contest began, and the Martial Artists started preparing to get on stage.

There were no preliminary rounds in this round, with only a little over two thousand participants, everyone could compete on stage at the same time.

"Lin Zhen, this is the last battle, the most critical one. As long as you defeat this black-robed man, you'll be guaranteed entry into the Holy Land's Huang class," someone said.

"Yes, Brother Lin, even entering the Huang class is enough. In the future, you'll still have the chance to be promoted to the Hong and Zhu classes. As long as you can enter the Holy Land, it will be a victory," added another.

"Lin Zhen, don't force yourself. If you feel you can't do it, crush the talisman in time. Don't hesitate just because we have all bet on you entering the Holy Land. Money can be earned again, but you must be present," someone advised.

"Right, right, I was wrong just now. As soon as you teleport on stage, immediately crush the talisman and give up this round," suggested another.

People around were giving their opinions and advice to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen didn't respond but closed his eyes to adjust his state.

Obviously, this battle was somewhat beyond his capabilities, and the opponent's strength was beyond imagination.

However, Lin Zhen had just cultivated with Ning Qingxuan, and his current state was almost at its peak. He also wanted to challenge this mysterious black-robed man.

Losing wasn't scary; what was scary was not even having the courage to fight.

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that he might not necessarily lose.

"You don't have to worry about me. It's just a battle. If I win, I'll enter the Holy Land. You can prepare food and drinks, and wait for my celebration as I enter the Holy Land!" Lin Zhen assured them.

Hearing Lin Zhen's confident statement, the nervous crowd also relaxed a bit.

Lin Zhen was still Lin Zhen, always full of fighting spirit and never fearing any powerful opponent!

"Go for it, Brother Lin!"

"You must win! We'll be waiting for you to drink with us at the victory celebration!"

Lin Zhen waved to the crowd, and it was time for the match to begin.

With a flash of light, all of the 2,048 Martial Artists were teleported onto the stage.

At this time, the streets and alleys of the Qin Kingdom were broadcasting the battle of Falling Star Lake, and most of the broadcasts were focused on Lin Zhen's fight.

The reporter was nervously introducing the situation.

"People of Da Qin Empire, the fight you're most concerned about, Lin Zhen's battle, is about to begin. This man has brought endless humiliation and hatred to Da Qin, so we all hope he will be eliminated."

"However, it must be admitted that Lin Zhen is quite strong. After defeating Xiao Se, he has already set foot on the threshold of the Holy Land. But fortunately, the heavens have eyes. The emergence of this mysterious man brings us hope. He has just easily killed Xiao Se, and his strength is definitely above Lin Zhen. In this fight, Lin Zhen is in great danger, it is a matter of life and death. Now let's watch the fight together!"

The camera swept over the crowd in the venue that had just quieted down, everyone was watching the big screen nervously.

On the Blue Whale, Jin Nuo looked at the big screen with interest, where Lin Zhen's situation was being displayed.

The Imperial Emperor Zhu Ziheng, along with his queen, were also watching intently.

National Master Qian Tong, holding a string of jade Buddha beads in his hand, had stopped twirling them, clearly being attracted by the battle.

The Martial Artists behind from various big forces had also stopped talking and focused their attention on this battle.

Lin Zhen was not only the public enemy of the Qin people, but he was also the only World King level Martial Artist still persisting in the Falling Star Lake Holy Land this time.

Among the remaining participants, the majority were in the Longevity Realm, and only a few were in the Three Flowers Realm.

If he could enter the Holy Land as a World King, it would also be quite sensational news.

Some people hoped that Lin Zhen would win, while others wished for Lin Zhen's immediate death. If they looked closely at people's expressions at this time, they could easily tell who supported Lin Zhen and who was jealous of him.

Even after the event, some people had analyzed this scene. The queen of Da Qin, apparently, seemed to be a supporter of Lin Zhen.

In short, this battle held great significance, connecting billions of people's hearts.

Not only in Qin Kingdom, but many other places in the Original World were also broadcasting this match.

The headline of the Dimensional Universe was exactly this:

"Lin Zhen's crucial battle: Can the Enemy of the Qin Kingdom enter the Holy Land? Find out in this decisive match!"

As soon as Lin Zhen got on stage, a figure flashed before his eyes. The black-robed man appeared silently, like a devil from hell.

Lin Zhen wanted to say something; this was his usual tactic, psychological warfare, which often helped him to find the opponent's weaknesses or flaws to seek an opportunity and create an advantage for himself.

However, after the black-robed man appeared, he didn't say a word and didn't give Lin Zhen a chance to speak. His figure flickered like a ghost, and in an instant, he was in front of Lin Zhen!

There was a flicker of dark light, which came from the opponent's iron claws!

At this moment, Lin Zhen also saw the opponent's weapon, a pair of dark iron claws. They were clearly of the spiritual treasure level, no wonder they could block Xiao Se's sword.

The iron claws attacked without making the slightest sound, and a streak of black light was already in front of Lin Zhen's eyes.

"Open~!"

This was the most crucial battle, winning this one would ensure entry into the Holy Land, meaning more than any other fight.

Lin Zhen didn't dare to hold back at all, and his first sword was Death, slicing towards the opponent's arm!

The Sky-cutting Divine Sword failed for the first time!

It did strike, but the opponent's metal arm guard was clearly of higher quality, and after clashing with Lin Zhen's sword once, it seemed unaffected, with the black iron claw still grabbing towards Lin Zhen's heart!

Although there was no momentum, the iron claw gave Lin Zhen an extremely dangerous feeling, and there seemed to be no way to avoid or resist it.

Just like Xiao Se's Three Consecutive Swords, even though Lin Zhen knew the opponent would make a move, he couldn't block it!

This was not merely a difference in absolute strength, but also a unique skill.

Xiao Se died under this very move, and Lin Zhen certainly didn't want to follow in his footsteps.

His feet erupted in power, his body suddenly retreating, and the black-robed man quickly followed, with the iron claw now less than a foot away from Lin Zhen's heart!

Instant teleportation!

Interrupted!

Spiritual Evil Impact!

Ineffective!

Divine infant's outburst!

Lin Zhen performed a series of actions, and finally, the divine infant wielding the long spear appeared, rushing towards the opponent's Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

The black-robed man didn't speak, but Lin Zhen could clearly feel a trace of mockery from him, a warning in his heart. When the divine infant was about to approach the opponent, he decisively withdrew!

A spiritual power bomb formed in front of the opponent's forehead and exploded. If Lin Zhen hadn't decisively withdrawn, the divine infant would have definitely been injured.

Then this series of actions didn't shake the martial artist in the slightest!

That life-threatening iron claw was still getting closer and closer to Lin Zhen's heart!

Lin Zhen had no doubt that even if he retreated into space at this moment, the iron claw would still penetrate through space and grab him out!

Whether it was time acceleration or deceleration, neither could interfere with the iron claw's advance. This was a force capable of easily breaking through all force-fields and domains!

With just this one move, the martial artist's understanding of combat was superior to that of Lin Zhen's.

Seeing the situation becoming critical, Lin Zhen suddenly roared: "If you want to kill me with just one move, you're still too naive!"

A flash of green light appeared above his head, and the sword ring appeared!

This spiritual treasure from Nan Liang appeared above Lin Zhen's head for the first time!

After the sword ring appeared, under Lin Zhen's Star Power, a halo radiated outward, forcing the iron claw to retreat a short distance just before it reached Lin Zhen's chest!

Within a hair's breadth, Lin Zhen escaped this calamity!

Between the sword ring's halo and the iron claw, a series of sparks erupted, and the spatial ripples spread out like water traces, centered on the contact point.

Triggering spatial shockwaves, it was obvious how powerful the opponent's attack was, and that moment was incredibly dangerous!

Lin Zhen's body landed, and a drop of sweat silently slid down his forehead.

In just one second, he had walked a fine line between life and death.

The black-robed man also stopped and spoke for the first time.

"Hehe~~! I didn't expect you to have such a treasure, allowing you to luckily survive a little longer. But that's it, I'll destroy this thing of yours now and see what other tricks you have!"

The black-robed man raised his arm, and the black iron claw on his left hand emitted a dazzling bright light, attacking Lin Zhen directly!

The speed was unparalleled, directly slamming into Lin Zhen's protective sword ring!

When the two treasures met in midair, the black iron claw actually exploded!

With a thunderous explosion, Lin Zhen felt his Dantian's Star Power shake. The exploding iron claw was like the Destructive God Thunder, knocking the sword ring off Lin Zhen's head!

Iron Claw destroyed, Sword Ring ruined!

"You… you actually destroyed your own treasure just to take down my sword ring!"

"I have two iron claws, so what if I destroy one? To kill you, one iron claw is enough!"

The black-robed man attacked again, just like before, targeting Lin Zhen's heart with a single grasp!

The sword ring was destroyed, and Lin Zhen felt extreme pain. Watching the opponent use the same move again, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Let's see how strong your move actually is today!

Armorization~! Lin Zhen's body swelled, transforming into a monstrous shape!

Immovable like a mountain~!

His feet firmly nailed to the ground!

Sword Gang~!

Both hands ejected Sword Gangs, with all Star Power concentrated!

Fierce Flames! Ice! Covering both Sword Gangs, the Snow Lotus bloomed above his head, and Lin Zhen gathered all his strength to fiercely counter the opponent's iron claw!

Since there was no way to dodge, he stopped dodging!

Chapter 758: Chapter 761: The Final Blow in Desperation! (Third update, 2000 monthly tickets plus updates!)

Facing the aggressive attack from the black-robed Martial Artist, Lin Zhen's ferocity was also provoked.

The Power of Ice that he had never used before, was now unleashed at this moment.

In an instant, the power of ice and fire appeared on the stage!

The ice was at a low temperature of more than two hundred degrees below zero!

The fire was a deadly bright cyan flame!

Only Lin Zhen could use this move, making it extremely difficult for his opponent to resist!

Ice and fire are two completely different elements. Even if you can resist the power of fire, you may not be able to resist the power of ice. This is because Lin Zhen is one of the few who can cultivate these two elements to such an extent!

Combined with two Sword Gangs, this move was incredibly powerful!

The momentum of the black-robed Martial Artist finally met with frustration.

Against Lin Zhen's fierce attack, he could only release Star Power to block it, which in turn slowed down his offensive.

Having caught a chance to breathe, Lin Zhen was like a wild tiger breaking free from its reins, pushing the power of Ice and Fierce Fire to the extreme, covering the Sword Gangs, and starting to wield them wildly!

At this moment, he didn't care who his opponent was, what realm he was in. He just wanted to release all the pressure in his heart!

Finally, the situation where he was pushed to the brink by the opponent in one move was reversed, and the power of ice and fire filled the stage, actually beating the black-robed man back!

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen's supporters let out a huge cheer, rooting and applauding for Lin Zhen!

But the people of the Qin Kingdom were silent again. Could it be that even such a powerful black-robed man couldn't defeat Lin Zhen?

The clanging of collisions on the stage was incessant, and the sounds were broadcasted to all parts of the Original World through a big screen.

In the crowd, Machinery and the two Changshan and Changling watched this scene with furrowed brows.

"Machinery, something's not right. What's going on with this Heigu? He's actually being pressed by Lin Zhen?"

"Yes, although Lin Zhen's elemental power is indeed strong, Heigu's strength should definitely not stop at that. I feel like he is somewhat holding back."

Machinery was a bit irritated at this point, seeing his enemy who killed his son right in front of him but not being able to take revenge. And apart from Heigu's impressive first move, his subsequent performance was all fear and trepidation, completely lacking in any grace and dignity.

"Who should I ask you two about? What do you think is going on with him?"

"If I were to analyze it, I'm afraid Heigu has the intention to escape," Changshan said with certainty.

Seeing Machinery looking over, Changshan continued his analysis, "You can imagine, after being trapped in Falling Star Lake's water prison for countless years and finally escaping, how could he not want to leave this place? Moreover, he is participating in the tournament as a disciple of another Holy Land, and he dare not expose his learning in the Holy Land."

Changling also added, "That's right, each Martial Artist can only learn from one Holy Land, and it is forbidden to go to a second Holy Land to study. If he exposes himself, he will definitely attract the attention of the five senior brothers, and he will be in real trouble."

Machinery suddenly realized, "Right! Even if he used the Holy Land techniques to defeat Lin Zhen, he would definitely not be able to escape afterwards. Exposing himself would be equivalent to seeking death. No wonder he was hesitant to use the Holy Land techniques, relying solely on some previous methods to fight Lin Zhen. It's difficult to win like this."

Changshan snorted, "He has quite the wishful thinking. Once he consumes the Soul medicine, everything is out of his control."

Machinery nodded, "That's right, he's thinking about leaving after finishing the competition. But there's no such good thing. When I brought him out of the water prison, I never intended to let him live. He's not willing to make a move? Then don't blame me!"

As Machinery spoke, his thoughts moved and the method of soul control was launched.

There was a protective barrier above the stage that could block all external attacks. However, it could not block this kind of control that came from the depths of the soul, especially when it was so close.

While resisting Lin Zhen's offensive, Heigu suddenly paused, and his body was struck by several swords!

As the wounds bled, the energy of Ice and Flame raged on, and it seemed that Lin Zhen was about to win.

The people below who were supporting him once again erupted with earth-shattering cheers, but Lin Zhen didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise.

Because he could clearly sense that under the black robe, the man's eyes had turned red!

Lin Zhen had an extremely powerful spiritual power. One look at this man's condition, Lin Zhen knew that something was wrong.

When a normal person's eyes turned this color, it meant that they had lost their true nature, and it manifested itself in the eyes. This man was probably being controlled by someone!

In just a few moments of fighting, Lin Zhen always felt that this man was holding something back, and Lin Zhen was puzzled. Now it seems that there may be more to this than meets the eye.

However, at this moment, Lin Zhen couldn't investigate who was plotting against him from behind, because the black-robed man in front of him had gone berserk!

"Go! Use your strongest means to kill Lin Zhen in front of you, at any cost, and do everything you can to win! Win, and I will grant you freedom!"

Machinery's voice echoed continuously in Heigu's mind. At this moment, all he wanted was to kill Lin Zhen!

"Kill him! Kill him, and I'll be free!"

Heigu suddenly let out a bestial roar from his mouth, and his Star Power surged violently, suppressing the power of Ice and Flame, and pounced on Lin Zhen!

With a swing of his arm, the other iron claw exploded again, rushing towards Lin Zhen!

Lin Zhen waved his Sword Gang, and slashed down with one stroke!

But the black-robed man somehow produced another long sword from somewhere.

This longsword and iron claw were given to him by a few Mechanical people, specifically for battle. The longsword was for preventing accidents and letting him unleash his full power.

The Soul Lock Platform Heaven Class student who had once comprehended the Senluo Divine Sword's martial arts finally burst out with his full power!

With a swing of the longsword, a Yinsha aura descended upon the stage!

When he struck with the sword, several people in the audience immediately widened their eyes!

"Holy Land Martial Arts! Definitely Holy Land Martial Arts!"

Fifth Senior Brother Jin Nuo from the Holy Land's pupils suddenly dilated. He had felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the man in the black robe before. At this moment, when the opponent fully displayed his strength, the black robe floated open, revealing the terrifying face inside.

Years of wind and frost erosion had left this man's face hideously disfigured, but Jin Nuo recognized him – he was actually a Soul Lock Platform martial artist who had been trapped in the water prison!

"No wonder it's Heigu, I wondered why it felt so familiar. Who was it? Who released this guy and even provided him with weapons to participate in this competition, what do they want to achieve?"

Jin Nuo's fingers trembled with anger; this matter would undoubtedly stain the reputation of the Falling Star Lake selection competition.

Unless someone from within the Holy Land did it, outsiders could not release a Holy Land criminal. With the participation of this person, the competition had become unfair.

Lin Zhen was strong and impressive; Jin Nuo was quite interested in him. He had thought that Falling Star Lake had gained another young genius. However, no matter how strong Lin Zhen was, he was probably no match for Heigu.

In that case, Lin Zhen would definitely not be able to pass this round, as Heigu himself was already a powerful Holy Land warrior, completely on another level compared to those fighting hard to enter the Holy Land!

Moreover, Jin Nuo was helpless in the face of all this for the time being. The Holy Land's battle platform protection was set up by a teacher, and others simply could not interfere with the martial artists' battles within. In other words, before the outcome was determined, he could not intervene even if Lin Zhen was killed.

"Lin Zhen! Hurry up and crush the protective talisman and get out! This person is not someone you can fight against!"

Since the start of the competition, the always impartial Jin Nuo finally spoke out. He firmly believed that Lin Zhen could enter the Holy Land. Heigu's participation could be disqualified, and Lin Zhen could automatically win as long as he withdrew.

However, up on the stage, Lin Zhen could no longer do all that.

As Heigu's sword fell, Lin Zhen didn't even have time to react – his right hand was severed!

He was still holding the protective talisman in his right palm; with the first move, Heigu had cut off Lin Zhen's retreat.

Senluo Sword Skill was one of the supreme martial arts of the Four Great Sacred Lands, and Heigu's display showed that he had reached the Three Flowers Peak!

Lin Zhen was absolutely no match for Three Flowers Peak using the Senluo Sword Skill!

After one sword slashed off Lin Zhen's right hand, the second sword came again!

With one sword strike, his left hand fell!

Having lost both arms, he couldn't use Sword Gang anymore!

Even if Lin Zhen had the Immortal Spiritual Body, it would still take time for him to recover. Heigu could definitely turn Lin Zhen into ashes before he recovered!

Those supporting Lin Zhen in the audience couldn't bear to watch any longer. They closed their eyes, tears streaming down their faces.

At this moment, the people of Qin Kingdom were cheering madly. They didn't care about Heigu's background, whether he would live or die afterward. As long as he could kill Lin Zhen, it would all be worth it!

"Man in black! Strike him again with your sword!"

"Cut off his head!"

"Kill! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

Heigu's face revealed a ferocious expression as the third sword was about to be launched!

Lin Zhen, who had lost both arms, did not give up. With a surge of energy from his feet, his whole body lunged at Heigu. Star Power burst forth from his entire body, just like a white dwarf star about to explode!

"Want to self-destruct?! Let's see if you even have that chance, I'll pierce through your Dantian with a single sword, leaving you no chance to self-destruct!"

Heigu's third sword turned into a thrust, aimed directly at Lin Zhen's Dantian!

"Puff ~!"

The longsword passed through his body!

"We won!"

Not expecting that Lin Zhen's Dantian was pierced, and facing Heigu's fierce offensive, he was as good as dead!

However, just when everyone thought the outcome had been decided, an astonishing scene occurred!

From within Lin Zhen's Dantian, a thick bolt of thunder roared out!

Some people had seen Lin Zhen's Destructive God Thunder before and knew he had a trump card up his sleeve, but no one had ever seen such powerful lightning!

The thunderbolt, thicker than a train, burst out violently. At this moment, even the consistently strong protective barrier of the platform was cracked!

Lin Zhen's body directly slammed into Heigu. His legs locked tightly around Heigu, and then the tripartite Destructive Lightning came crashing down!

The dazzling intense light made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes, and the earth-shaking sound still came through the barrier!

The ground trembled at this moment!

Chapter 759: Chapter 762: Advancing to the Holy Land! Devouring Soul Searching!

This earth-shattering strike astonished the audience, the world, and the Original World!

The arena that Lin Zhen was in was specially made, incredibly sturdy, but after this thunderbolt fell, it was blasted to pieces!

From the start of the competition until now, such a situation had never occurred.

When the dust settled, people saw only a pile of broken walls and ruins.

"Heavens! What happened?"

"Actually smashing the arena to pieces, is this an attack that a World King can use?"

"It's too terrifying; I have entered Longevity for five thousand years and have never seen such a powerful strike before! It's truly terrifying!"

In their shock, people realized that the battle on the arena was not over.

The camera began to move at a high speed to capture the situation among the rubble.

Amid the debris, one could vaguely see two people still entangled with each other, but they were both in a miserable state.

Lin Zhen's arms were broken, his legs wrapped around the black-robed man's body.

The black-robed man was in an even more tragic state, half of his body was gone, his head dangling, not moving, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Normally, with such a situation, the battle should have ended. However, it still hadn't ended.

This arena was built by the Master of Falling Star Lake, and the system was also set up by him, so not ending indicated that both sides were still fighting.

But people were having a hard time understanding, with both people in this state, how could they still be fighting?

It wasn't until an expert suddenly said, "Their souls are still fighting!" that people suddenly realized.

At the same time as they understood, they couldn't help but feel a little awe-struck. To still be able to fight like this was truly incredible.

This was already the last hope for the Qin Kingdom. Now, it seemed that the physical fight was over, and although Lin Zhen had lost both arms, it was still better than the black-robed man losing half of his body. Perhaps the black-robed man's soul was more potent and could defeat Lin Zhen.

The venue was quiet, and people focused their attention here, waiting for the final battle result to appear.

But what they didn't know was that this final battle couldn't be considered a fight but a slaughter!

Heigu's strength was formidable, but as for soul battle, he was far inferior to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen was indeed severely injured now, but his soul power remained strong. When he sensed that Heigu was on his last breath, Lin Zhen immediately used his ultimate technique.

Soul Searching!

After learning that the man was a Holy Land Warrior, Lin Zhen had made up his mind.

The tripartite Destructive God Thunder was Lin Zhen's most powerful killing move, and it was bound to defeat Heigu when used against him.

In Lin Zhen's eyes, the other party's soul was the most important thing.

Holy Land Warriors could only cultivate in one Holy Land and were destined not to learn the ultimate techniques of other Holy Lands. Lin Zhen chose Falling Star Lake before, so he no longer had the chance to learn the techniques of Freedom City, Twin Trees Garden, and Locking God Platform.

But it didn't matter. If he couldn't learn, others would, and Lin Zhen could deprive others of their memories – this was a truly heaven-defying ability.

Heigu was a student of the Locking God Platform's Heaven Class and possessed many memories. Now, Lin Zhen wanted to seize them!

During his three years in Freedom City, Lin Zhen could use Soul Searching once more, and when Heigu was about to die, he launched it.

Heigu's soul felt Lin Zhen's Memory Deprivation and desperately wailed in resistance.

However, no matter how much he resisted or begged, Lin Zhen remained unmoved by his pleas, as wave after wave of Black Hole Power attacked him.

His memories were too vast, and during the battle, Heigu faced Lin Zhen and called himself "old man." He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years; the magnitude of the Memory Shock was almost unimaginable.

His childhood, youth, adulthood, and maturity.

Advancing through realms, journeying through the heart, entering the World King realm, and achieving Longevity.

Joining the Holy Land and advancing to the Three Flowers!

His learning was truly too rich, richer than all the memories Lin Zhen had absorbed before combined.

However, persistence was what Lin Zhen lacked the least, and withstanding the throbbing pain in his head, he absorbed all of the opponent's memories before he could slowly sort them out.

No matter how Heigu resisted, it was useless. When a person's body loses its resistance, his soul, in the face of Lin Zhen's powerful soul and immense Black Hole Power, was nothing but dust and a vulnerable piece of meat on the chopping board.

It was sad that Heigu possessed incredible abilities and Holy Land ultimate techniques that could easily kill Xiao Se in an instant, but now he was directly deprived of his memories by Lin Zhen, his soul completely annihilated!

This was true obliteration, with no possibility of recovery or revival.

Even if time were reversed, his soul could not be saved.

Countless memories flooded in, and when Heigu's last shred of memory was stripped away, his soul completely dissipated between heaven and earth, and the battle on the arena ended!

The system prompt sounded.

"Battle over, Star River Giant Beast Alliance warrior, Lin Zhen wins, officially obtains qualification to enter the Holy Land!"

With a flash of light, Lin Zhen, who had lost his arm, and Heigu, who had completely died, were teleported out separately.

When Lin Zhen came out, his arm had recovered, and the wound in his Dantian had miraculously healed.

This was the power of the Immortal Spiritual Body; Heigu had thought that Lin Zhen was like an ordinary Martial Artist, and that piercing his Dantian would disable him. Unfortunately, in his battle with Lin Zhen, if he hadn't dismembered him or turned him into ashes, there was always a chance of turning the tables.

Although his arm had recovered, Lin Zhen still kept his eyes tightly closed, motionless.

Lin Zhen's supporters swarmed over to see what had happened to him.

Although Lin Zhen had entered the Holy Land and they had won a huge sum of money, no one cared about the money issue at the moment, only hoping that Lin Zhen would be alright.

Entering the Holy Land was not the end; but being within the top 1,024 secured a place in the Huang Class. The subsequent knockout competitions are also very important, winning one would increase their level.

So Lin Zhen couldn't fall now.

But no matter how they called out to him, Lin Zhen refused to wake up. Everyone didn't know that he was currently enduring the Memory Shock from Heigu's hundreds of thousands of years' worth of memories, which wasn't easy to recover from.

As everyone was anxious, a faint scent of flowers wafted to their noses, and Ning Qingxuan appeared.

When she saw Lin Zhen and Heigu in a difficult situation, Ning Qingxuan couldn't stay any longer.

Ignoring her sore body from Lin Zhen's antics the night before, Ning Qingxuan rushed back from the inn.

When she arrived, she saw Lin Zhen falling into a coma and being teleported out of the arena.

"Lin Zhen!"

Ning Qingxuan let out a cry, squeezed through the crowd to Lin Zhen's side, and held her lover in her arms.

Her big eyes immediately turned red, and she called out Lin Zhen's name repeatedly.

People around her gave her room, but their concerned eyes still remained on Lin Zhen.

Perhaps it was the sense of familiar warmth that drew a movement from Lin Zhen in his coma.

One hand slowly rose and rested on Ning Qingxuan's chest, just like every night when he held Ning Qingxuan to sleep.

This scene almost made Ning Qingxuan want to crawl into a hole in the ground.

If Lin Zhen were awake, she would definitely give him a beating, but he was in a coma, so what could she do?

"The fight is over for today. I'll take Lin Zhen back, and we'll return tomorrow."

Ning Qingxuan's voice was as low as a mosquito, holding Lin Zhen all the way as she sprinted, rushing out of the crowd.

Behind her, her lover Ni Ke couldn't help but say: "The boss is really awesome!"

Not only were they watching, but not far away, a white-haired old woman, looking at Ning Qingxuan's staggering footsteps, her face gloomy as ice.

This was Zhao Lihua from the Qingye Sect, Iron Granny's master. She had also advanced in the arena competition this time by quickly killing her opponent, becoming one of the fastest to enter the Holy Land.

Old and worldly-wise, she naturally recognized that Ning Qingxuan was no longer a virgin.

"Corrupt and degenerate, losing face for my Qingye Sect! If I meet that Lin Zhen, he'll die by my hands!"

The second day of the Holy Land battles ended, and too much happened that day. Many popular Martial Artists advanced and successfully entered the Holy Land.

Of course, there were also strong ones who met and ultimately one of them was eliminated.

The path of a Martial Artist sometimes requires luck as well.

But no matter who it was, no one attracted as much attention as Lin Zhen's match.

The people of the Qin Kingdom were disappointed because Lin Zhen finally advanced. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop Lin Zhen's steps to advancement.

However, they hadn't completely given up hope. Lin Zhen had advanced, but afterwards fell into a coma and was carried away by his super beautiful girlfriend, so it was likely that he couldn't participate in the next arena competition.

If Lin Zhen doesn't wake up by the time the next match starts, he will automatically be determined to be a Huang Class student.

Entering the Holy Land is unstoppable, but making Lin Zhen a low-ranked Huang Class student is also a good choice.

Although the Huang Class are also Holy Land Warriors, what they learn is indeed limited. It's stronger than ordinary Martial Artists outside, but not by much.

That night, countless Martial Artists prayed and made curses, wishing that Lin Zhen would never wake up.

This night also became the busiest night. Those who were eliminated chose to return to their hometown, there was no point in staying.

Those who advanced were overjoyed, as being able to enter the Holy Land at such a grand event already proved their excellence.

At the same time, competitions at the Freedom City, Twin Trees Garden, and Locking God Platform Holy Lands also ended. Countless talents emerged.

However, the Fifth Apprentice in the Holy Land, Jin Nuo, didn't look too happy this time because of Heigu's matter.

He would slowly investigate who let Heigu out, and he also wants to ask Lin Zhen about the situation with his battle with Heigu, perhaps Lin Zhen would know something.

But Lin Zhen was in a coma now, and he couldn't talk to Ning Qingxuan, hoping that Lin Zhen would wake up tomorrow and participate in the competition on time.

They all thought that Lin Zhen was seriously injured in the battle, but they didn't know that Lin Zhen was experiencing the most marvelous moment of his life!

Chapter 760: Chapter 763: The Holy Land's Unique Skills in One Body

Ning Qingxuan took Lin Zhen back to the bed in the guest house and placed him there, patiently waiting for Lin Zhen to wake up.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen was currently cleaning up the memories related to Heigu.

Apart from cultivation, there were no other highlights in Heigu's life.

Lin Zhen automatically eliminated things like conspiracies, playing with women, and only retained what was useful to him.

The most valuable thing to learn from Heigu was naturally his martial arts skills!

One could say that he was a martial arts fanatic. During his hundred years in the Sacred Place of the God-locking Platform, he learned quite a few secret techniques.

Among them, Heigu knew three sets of martial arts like Taiyuan Sword Skill!

Also, there was the method of controlling objects with Spiritual Power that Lin Zhen had always wanted to learn but had neither the time nor the opportunity to study, as well as the locked attack that Heigu had relied on to deal with Lin Zhen, which was not part of the Holy Land Martial Arts but Heigu's own comprehension

Aside from that, the strongest secret technique was the Senluo Sword Skill.

The Senluo Sword Skill is divided into four parts, located in four Holy Lands and is not commonly known.

Learning the Senluo Sword Skill in the God-locking Platform was Heigu's greatest gain during his hundred years. Even among Heaven Class students, those who learned the Senluo Sword Skill were very rare!

The more sets of this sword skill one learns, the greater the power. If one can learn another set, the power will double!

There is even a legend that once all the four sets of Senluo Sword Skill are mastered, one can slay the gods!

Of course, this is only a legend, and no one knows if it's true.

After learning the sword skill from the God-locking Platform, Heigu had set his sights on the other three sets, even daring to venture into the Falling Star Lake, only to be captured and imprisoned for tens of millions of years.

In the final stage of absorbing the memories, Lin Zhen finally learned where Heigu came from.

It turned out to be the work of the World King of the Dimensional Universe!

This man was the father of Ye Hua, whom Lin Zhen had killed in the New World. Naturally, he wanted revenge for his son.

And the one who instigated the World King was none other than Ke Xiangnan from the Kirin Clan!

"These people really don't give up until I'm dead, but unfortunately, they've been disappointed again. This time when I enter the Holy Land, I'll have many chances to meet the mechanic, and as for Ke Xiangnan, we'll settle our scores sooner or later."

A whole night passed, and it wasn't until the morning of the following day that Lin Zhen absorbed Heigu's memories.

As long as he familiarizes himself, Lin Zhen will be able to use Heigu's martial arts. If he utilizes Heigu's Holy Land Martial Arts, Lin Zhen is confident that he can go far in the upcoming battles. However, it's a pity that Lin Zhen can't do so.

Because he cannot explain how he knows Holy Land Martial Arts, and once discovered, it will definitely cause big trouble.

However, Heigu's snatch of power can still be used, as it is not a part of the Holy Land Martial Arts.

But once Lin Zhen enters the Holy Land, there will be no problem using these things, and he can completely say that it is his own comprehension.

After absorbing the memories and getting rid of the useless ones, Lin Zhen naturally woke up.

The injuries to his Dantian and arm were completely healed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Qingxuan's worried and tired face.

Seeing Lin Zhen opening his eyes, Ning Qingxuan was overjoyed: "Lin Zhen, you are awake."

Lin Zhen sat up, "What time is it?"

"There's still more than an hour before the third day's competition starts. I was worried that you wouldn't wake up. Lin Zhen, do you know you have entered the Holy Land?"

Lin Zhen nodded, turned over and pressed Xuan'er under him: "Then shouldn't we do something to celebrate?"

"Ah! How can you just wake up and… no, there's not enough time."

"It doesn't matter, we can go to the Double-headed Demon's back and not be idle on the way."

Usually disciplined, Ning Qingxuan was so shy she almost fainted. She had never had such a ridiculous moment before. Now that she had given herself to Lin Zhen, it seemed that he was going to ruin her.

However, in front of Lin Zhen, Ning Qingxuan had never had much resistance. As soon as a passionate kiss came, her head spun, and her body softened. Then Lin Zhen picked her up and carried her out directly.

Lin Zhen's enthusiasm was extremely high, and he finally entered the Holy Land, completing the most important step.

On the back of the Double-headed Demon, a carriage frame was set up with a large bed inside, and Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan went in.

Before entering, Ning Qingxuan sternly warned the Double-headed Demon that if it dared to eavesdrop or peep, she would definitely kill it and make it into a hot pot.

Unfortunately, the Double-headed Demon, who couldn't transform, was threatened by Ning Qingxuan, the great demon king, and had completely lost its temper.

A goddess was moaning softly under Lin Zhen, and they leisurely flew back to the Falling Star Lake.

Some passing Dragon Cars noticed the Double-headed Demon from afar, but saw its huge body trembling at an extremely fast rate. Those who understood secretly gave a thumbs-up.

This Dragon Car owner was really something; he was very capable!

The number of people at Falling Star Lake today hasn't decreased significantly; today is the third day and the last day of the competition.

On this day, seven rounds of elimination matches were to take place, deciding the placements of students from the eight classes of Heaven and Earth, Universe, and Huang

Those who opened the bets didn't make much money this time, mainly because Lin Zhen's supporters had actually bought a large amount of bets that Lin Zhen would enter the Holy Land, making everyone rich.

So today, for the unknown factor of Lin Zhen, the cautious casino no longer set high odds.

However, after Lin Zhen entered the Holy Land, although the attitude of the people of the Qin Kingdom towards Lin Zhen hadn't changed much, they became much more cautious.

They began to take Lin Zhen's strength seriously, especially after he released that divine thunder yesterday, some even predicted that Lin Zhen had the strength to enter the Heaven Class.

If he could use that kind of divine thunder infinitely, that is.

However, many people refuted this view, saying that if the seemingly overpowering attack could be exerted infinitely, it would be too much. Lin Zhen would have already crushed his way here, and he wouldn't have had to fight so hard.

This kind of attack should be a one-time thing, or at least a one-time thing in a short period of time.

The third day of the competition was a randomized draw, no longer numbered according to the original order.

Everyone's number was thrown into a box that was isolated from all prying, and when you reached in and grabbed a number, that was your new number.

The big box was already prepared, just waiting for the draw to determine the order of battle.

Now, more than two thousand martial artists had almost all become hot commodities, and many forces began to recruit them.

Some small countries even directly extended an olive branch, saying that as long as someone changed their nationality and joined their country, they were willing to recruit them as national masters, bestow territories, and offer huge wealth.

However, very few martial artists could be moved by these things, and each of them came to the Holy Land with a strong recommendation from their own country. Without a sufficient offer to tempt them, very few people would betray their country.

At this point, there wasn't much left that could tempt them.

Even Lin Zhen, the public enemy of the Qin Kingdom, had been recruited by many countries.

Not only small countries, but even some large empires began to recruit Lin Zhen.

"Mr. Lin Zhen, I hope you can consider my proposal. Our Da Jin Empire is willing to give you ten counties as your territory! And grant you the position of a prince, with power only below our emperor, and give you the right to recruit guests. As long as you agree to change your nationality in the Dimensional Universe now."

Seeing that Lin Zhen remained silent, the envoy of Jin continued: "We think you are the biggest dark horse in this Holy Land selection. Other people who enter the Holy Land are at least at the Longevity Realm, but you're just a World King, which shows the extent of your potential. If you think the conditions are not good enough, we can still discuss."

"Alright, alright, I'll think about it, and if I make up my mind, I'll contact you."

The envoy of Da Jin left somewhat reluctantly.

Lin Zhen rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, as he had already sent away the sixth wave of envoys.

In fact, the Nan Liang Kingdom didn't mean much to Lin Zhen now. It wasn't a strong country, and they were quite hostile to him, and it wasn't his hometown. If he had a better offer, he could change his allegiance without any problem.

But what these envoys offered wasn't what Lin Zhen wanted, and changing wasn't better than not changing. At least his reputation would be more appealing.

Many more envoys in the Dimensional Universe wanted to add Lin Zhen as their recruit, but Lin Zhen declined all of them through Chris.

"Don't think too much about it now, just focus on preparing for the battle. As long as you break through the Huang Class, it will be a success." Ning Qingxuan spoke softly to him from the side.

The two of them were in the supporters' group, and now their old friends had grown close to Ning Qingxuan, and they could communicate with each other.

Ning Qingxuan was usually quite reserved, but now she showed great courtesy, smiling, and engaging in conversations with others.

With her looks and personality, it didn't take long for her to become friends with Zi Qianxia and Zhao Xiaoman.

Zhao Xiaoman even directly called her sister-in-law. Ning Qingxuan's face blushed slightly, but she didn't reject the title.

Since the dual cultivation with Lin Zhen, she knew that Lin Zhen completely trusted and loved her. Their relationship was absolutely true, and it was just a matter of time before they became husband and wife. It didn't matter if they were a couple or not, as long as they recognized each other in their hearts.

Lin Zhen smiled at Ning Qingxuan, "I'm not in a hurry. Those things are just trivial matters. I know where the focus is."

"Yes, don't have any qualms about your identity as a Nan Liang citizen. Just follow your heart."

Before Lin Zhen could reply, a sudden voice came.

"You really are a shameless person! Nan Liang has nurtured you for so many years, don't you have any attachment to your own country at all? If you abandon Nan Liang and forget your gratitude, everyone will have the right to punish you!"

The voice was that of an old woman, cold enough to drop icicles. Ning Qingxuan's body even trembled slightly when she heard the voice.

"Ancestor!" Ning Qingxuan looked up to see the old woman standing not far away, and it was Zhao Lihua from the Qingye Sect.

You can imagine what kind of person Zhao Lihua is just by thinking of her disciple, Iron Granny. Wearing a dark brown robe and not looking particularly old, if you only looked at her face, she seemed to be in her forties or fifties.

But with her expressions, clothing, and white hair, if you said she was seventy, people would believe it.

Of course, she was far older than seventy, holding a bamboo cane in her hand, standing in front of the two.

Hearing Ning Qingxuan call her, Zhao Lihua's gaze was as cold as a knife: "Don't call me ancestor! You're getting cozy with the enemy who killed your master, and you even shamelessly offer yourself to him. You have no right to be a disciple of my Qingye Sect!"

Chapter 761: Chapter 764: The Martial King!

Facing Zhao Lihua's angry rebuke, Ning Qingxuan's pretty face turned pale instantly.

In her bones, she was still that well-behaved woman. Perhaps in her entire life, she had been wilful only once, choosing the love she wanted and the person she liked.

In the battle between Lin Zhen and Iron Granny, Lin Zhen won, but Ning Qingxuan instinctively didn't want to take revenge on Iron Granny. Even during the amnesia period, she couldn't get close to her master.

Later, when her memory was restored, there was even less to say. The Soul Anchoring Skill and Soul Chasing Bell of the Qingye Sect made her feel deep hatred, and it was all thanks to Lin Zhen's superb alchemy skills that she was completely cured.

As a result, she would be even less likely to want to take revenge on Iron Granny and fully devote herself to the embrace of her beloved.

Nevertheless, in her heart, this matter had not come to an end. She still had a heart disease, which was the Zhao Lihua standing before her.

Zhao Lihua had already become a figure from ancient times. When Ning Qingxuan was a child, just one glimpse of her gave her the impression that Zhao Lihua was a strange and cold character, somewhat frightening.

When facing Zhao Lihua, she instinctively felt a sense of awe.

Just when she was about to explain, Lin Zhen suddenly stepped in front of Ning Qingxuan.

"Old lady, what are you yelling at my wife for?"

Ning Qingxuan felt sweet in her heart. It was really nice to have someone helping her. Seeing Lin Zhen stepping forward, she immediately hid behind him and stopped looking at her master.

Zhao Lihua glared at Lin Zhen, her eyes filled with disdain, and said, "What are you, a brat who hasn't even gotten rid of the smell of breast milk? Get lost!"

Lin Zhen immediately retorted, "And what are you, a rotten-smelling old beggar with a serious hormonal imbalance? If you lack an old man's touch, I can introduce you to one. Don't come here and let people see your hideous old face. I want to vomit!"

As the oldest member of the Qingye Sect, Zhao Lihua had never been disrespected by anyone in Nan Liang, let alone the entire Da Liang. She had never heard such a straightforward insult from Lin Zhen.

Immediately trembling with anger, she pointed a finger at Lin Zhen: "You puny creature! Do you even know who I am?"

"Of course I do. You're the old immortal of the Qingye Sect. But you shouldn't flaunt your identity here. Xuan'er doesn't owe anything to your Qingye Sect. Isn't the torment of the Soul Chasing Bell you inflicted on her enough? Since her master used the Soul Chasing Bell on her, she's no longer a member of your Qingye Sect, and you have no right to point fingers here!"

Zhao Lihua was so angry that she could barely speak: "How dare you… talk to me like this…!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Whatever your status is, here you're just a disciple of the Holy Land, as am I. Currently, we're on the same level. After the tournament, you might even have to call me your senior brother. What gives you the right to shout in front of me?"

Fury reaching its pinnacle, Zhao Lihua shouted, "I'll kill both of you! I'll clean up the sect for Nan Liang and Qingye Sect!"

Lin Zhen sneered, Zhao Lihua was powerful, but Lin Zhen was unafraid, for this was the Holy Land.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Lihua was about to take action, a voice suddenly rang out.

"The competition is about to begin. No one is allowed to fight each other. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as disqualified!"

A powerful force enveloped the area, directly sending Zhao Lihua flying hundreds of meters away!

Above Zhao Lihua's head, the Three Flowers of spirit, energy, and soul were trembling constantly. The opponent showed mercy in this strike, or else it wouldn't have been just a simple blow.

Looking back in horror, she saw the Holy Land's Fifth Brother, Jin Nuo, standing on a water column sprayed by a blue whale from a distance, with his hands behind him and a cold look in his eyes.

Zhao Lihua, though arrogant, dared not to act wildly in front of the direct disciple of the master of Falling Star Lake, especially as his strength made her feel unfathomable.

"Fifth brother, I was impulsive." Zhao Lihua had no choice but to submit.

"Now, step back quickly!" Jin Nuo's indifferent voice came.

Zhao Lihua glared fiercely at Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan: "Kid, you better not meet me in the elimination rounds."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The elimination rounds after the Holy Land were not much different from the ones before. Only that after winning each round, they would be promoted to another class.

Each class had different things to learn. The closer they were to the top-ranked classes, the more stone steles they could comprehend on Star-Picking Island.

Huang Class students could comprehend only one stone stele, while Hong Class students could comprehend two. And so on.

The goal of everyone was to reach Heaven Class. The eight stone steles containing profound martial techniques could make them look down upon their peers if they mastered just one.

Moreover, the most outstanding among the Heaven Class students even had the possibility of being taken in by the Holy Land Master as a direct disciple.

Each of the direct disciples of the Holy Land held a prestigious status, as could be seen from the respect given to the Holy Land's Fifth Prince Jin Nuo, whether it was the Emperor of the Qin Kingdom, the National Master, or the people of other Dimensional Universe companies.

Therefore, every battle had to be treated as if it was their last.

By this time, the remaining martial artists were almost all elites—it would be impossible for them to achieve ten victories in a row if they were not.

The drawing of lots began, and people started to draw the balls in order.

One by one, the Martial Artists began to take the stage.

Lin Zhen, according to his number, was in the latter half. After stepping onto the stage and reaching into the box, he quickly drew out a small ball.

There was a large screen in the front, and after Lin Zhen drew the small ball, he was matched up with another competitor who had just finished drawing.

The Martial Artist Lei Ba from the Dimensional Arena, a King of martial combat in the Longevity Arena!

A so-called King of martial combat is someone who has achieved over ten thousand victories in the Longevity Arena, with a win rate of at least 99%!

Fulfilling these two conditions, one can become a King of martial combat.

Although Lin Zhen's current strength allows him to occasionally confront the Three Flowers using some special means, he is still not invincible in the Longevity Stage.

A King of martial combat in the Longevity Arena is undoubtedly a formidable opponent!

Upon seeing the completion of the grouping, Lin Zhen's gaze met Lei Ba's in mid-air.

Lei Ba was over two meters tall with a stalwart body like a small hill. He had four arms, carrying four gilded hammers on his back!

Upon seeing this grouping, the dwarf Ni Ke ran over.

"Boss, this opponent is going to be tough. He had a ten-win streak in his previous battles."

Lin Zhen laughed: "Nonsense, everyone who has fought to this point has a ten-win streak, right?"

"Oh, no, no! That's not what I meant. What I meant is that this Martial Artist had ten consecutive kills! All ten opponents who fought him before died!"

"Oh, he's that strong!" Lin Zhen was shocked. It's not surprising that someone is able to defeat their opponents, but it was terrifying to force them into a position where they had no chance of escape.

"He's indeed strong. Since he began practicing, he has been engaging in arena fights, using battles to cultivate himself. He also earns his living through arena battles, so his combat experience is incredibly rich. He was born with four arms, making his attack frequency twice as fast as the average person. Additionally, his four hammers are incredibly powerful. No weapons, such as swords, spears, knives, or halberds, can withstand his hammers. That's the key to his victories. You should be careful."

At this point, Ning Qingxuan was also showing Lin Zhen a video of Lei Ba's previous battles.

Lei Ba's ten battles can be described as a series of crushing victories.

As soon as the battle began, Lei Ba charged forward, swinging the four hammers in his hands like a windmill. His opponent's weapons could not stop the momentum of the hammers, nothing could penetrate his defense.

Furthermore, his mental defense also seemed strong, fearless of mental shocks.

Once the opponents made contact with him, their weapons would be swept away or flown out. They didn't even have time to crush their protective talismans before they died under his hammers.

The four superfast hammers were unstoppable.

Even if your attack speed is a little faster than his, you don't have four hands, and your weapons, no matter how good, can't withstand the onslaught of his four hammers. A rolling, suppressive attack, a crazy offense, this was Lei Ba's tactic.

This man has fought over 60,000 battles in the Longevity Arena of the Dimensional Arena, losing less than a hundred!

An absolute peak figure in the Longevity Stage, it was unexpected to encounter such a tough opponent in the first match.

"What do you think? Are you confident?" Ning Qingxuan asked with concern.

"I have some ideas, but I still need to try it out. However, Xuan'er, don't worry, he won't be able to crush me for the win."

"That's good, Lin Zhen. I think if you could win this battle, it would basically complete the task."

"So, what kind of results do you think I need to achieve, Xuan'er?"

"Of course, the higher, the better. However, I don't think you should push yourself too much. If you can enter the Yellow Class, that would be enough."

In the Holy Land, there is actually another saying: To be considered an inner disciple in the Holy Land, one has to enter the Heaven, Earth, Xuánhuáng classes, while scholars in the Unbounded and Honghuang Classes are only considered as half-disciples. To learn real sacred techniques, one has to enter one of the top four classes. So Ning Qingxuan set Lin Zhen's highest goal as the Yellow Class.

Of course, if Lin Zhen were to freely apply the martial arts of the Sacred Place of the God-locking Platform that he had just learned, he felt that it would be possible for him to enter the Earth Class or even the Heaven Class, but he can't just let go now.

"Alright, since Xuan'er said so, I'll strive for the Yellow Class!"

The conversation had ended, and the first round of the competition was about to begin.

Flickers of teleportation light flashed, and Lin Zhen appeared on the stage.

Across from him stood Lei Ba, who had four arms and a physique like a barbarian.

"Lin Zhen, your experience can also be considered legendary. But in my view, everything you have mastered is nothing but pretentious nonsense. Compared to true arena powerhouses, you still have a long way to go."

Lin Zhen stared disdainfully at Lei Ba: "Do you think an arena is a real place for trials? I don't think so. In virtual reality battles, people can often surpass their own strength. But this is the real world, and you, who have fought in virtual environments for a long time, are nothing but trash in reality!"

"Nonsense! You, with barely more than a thousand matches, how can you compare to my seventy thousand years of combat experience? Die! You will be the eleventh soul crushed under my hammer!" Lei Ba snorted coldly, and at once drew out his four gilded hammers, letting out a loud roar and charging towards Lin Zhen!

With a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, Lin Zhen's hands flourished with Sword Gang energy, "So, it's about combat experience, huh? I, who have just obtained Heigu's memories, won't lose to anyone when it comes to combat experience!"

Chapter 762: Chapter 765: Four Consecutive Wins

Lin Zhen always had a knack for defying expectations. Before the battle, the common analysis was that he would be completely suppressed.

The kings of the martial arts arena are seasoned warriors, having participated in hundreds of millions of battles, no exaggeration intended.

How old is Lin Zhen? Even if he had been fighting since he was in the womb, he could not possibly match Lei Ba.

But the actual battlefield proved otherwise.

Lin Zhen's Sword Gang was not a physical entity, but it had an immense lethal power against the human body. Moreover, when faced with the opponent's four Golden Hammers, he could immediately reconstitute himself even after being dispersed, rendering the opponent's heavy weapon useless.

Moreover, Lin Zhen's combat experience seemed to surpass Lei Ba's!

In the course of their engagement, Lin Zhen showed superior skills in capturing opportunities in battle and controlling the battlefield. As time passed, he completely suppressed Lei Ba!

Lin Zhen is a fighting prodigy, and coupled with the memories he had absorbed from several people, he had more battle experience than anyone present!

Especially Heigu, a martial artist even more pure than Lei Ba. His fighting experience and skills far surpass Lei Ba's!

Even in terms of Star Power, Lin Zhen's forty-eight million Star Power clearly stood out within the Longevity Realm!

When compared to Lin Zhen, Lei Ba did not have any advantage.

Others found it strange how Lin Zhen was growing stronger as the battle progressed, his current combat skills far surpassed those at the beginning of the battle.

However, Lin Zhen could not explain how, with the progression of the fight, he had gradually absorbed and integrated Heigu's memories, completely controlling the situation. He had even begun using Lei Ba for practice.

Every time Lei Ba's Golden Hammer shattered Lin Zhen's Sword Gang, he felt a futile sensation of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

The weapon that allowed Lei Ba to overpower his opponents in the past no longer worked, putting him into an extremely passive position.

No matter whether he tried to use surprise attacks, pretended to be defenseless, or frontal assaults, none of these strategies worked against Lin Zhen.

After the fight had lasted for ten minutes, Lei Ba finally did something unexpected.

He crushed his protective talisman, conceding the match!

"Lin Zhen, I am not afraid of you. Your tactics completely restrain me. I will challenge you again after learning new skills in the Holy Land."

The light flashed, and the system announced Lin Zhen's victory and his advancement to the Hong Class!

After leaving the arena, Lin Zhen was not surprised. After absorbing Heigu's memories, his strength had already jumped to another level. If he was allowed to fully exercise the Holy Land Martial Arts, the battle would have ended much earlier.

It can be said that Lin Zhen now has no rivals among the Longevity Warriors as long as they are not from the Holy Land.

Lei Ba, who had high hopes, was eliminated, leaving the people of Qin Kingdom disheartened.

The number of martial artists decreased from one thousand and twenty-four to five hundred and twelve.

Now everyone could see that the Longevity Warriors probably could not stop Lin Zhen's progress. To eliminate Lin Zhen, a Three Flowers Warrior is needed.

However, the number of Three Flowers Warriors among the participants is small because most of them have already participated in the Holy Land election at an old age.

It all relied on fate to match Lin Zhen with a Three Flowers Warrior.

After defeating Lei Ba, Lin Zhen's luck was very good, and in the second round, he met another Longevity Warrior.

This person's strength was similar to Lei Ba's, and his Star Power was even slightly inferior to Lin Zhen's. He was easily defeated by Lin Zhen.

After another round, the remaining of warriors had only two hundred and fifty-six people, and Lin Zhen was no longer a student of the Hong Class, but was equivalent to qualifying for the Universe Class.

In the third round, Lin Zhen's luck continued to shine. The strength of the warrior he encountered was even less than Lei Ba's, who was still in the Longevity Realm.

As expected, Lin Zhen easily won and entered the top one hundred and twenty-eight!

One hundred and twenty-eight, these are the Universe Class students!

The people of Qin Kingdom, in despair, watched Lin Zhen advance again, their hearts numb.

Looking at the list of those who advanced, of the one hundred and twenty-eight people, more than half were Three Flowers Warriors and less than fifty were Longevity Warriors.

Lin Zhen, a lone World King, looked particularly eye-catching.

"He must not be allowed to advance again! This time, Lin Zhen will surely draw a Three Flowers Warrior."

"Yeah, there are only more than forty Longevity Warriors, I don't believe his luck can be that good!"

All eyes were on the draw. In order to prevent the manipulation of the fight, a draw for the next round would take place at the end of each round.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands, Lin Zhen once again drew a small ball from the box.

This round's draw was not bad, Lin Zhen's opponent was indeed a Three Flowers Strong One, and he was another guest of National Master Qian Tong.

Of all the guests under Qian Tong, only two were left after several rounds of elimination.

One of them, named Yin Tianhuo, was especially powerful. Qian Tong even hoped that he would enter the Heaven Class, and he was the number one seed.

Now, the one Lin Zhen has to face is named Sha Ping.

He was at the peak of the Early Stage of Three Flowers. His strength was quite good. By the fourth round, it was not bad for Lin Zhen to draw such an opponent.

After the drawing was over, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his luck was indeed good.

On the back of the Blue Whale, people were discussing the battle situation.

National Master Qian Tong held a small grey mountain in his hand, delicate and exquisite, just like a toy.

Zhu Ziheng chatted with Qian Tong, occasionally glancing at the small mountain toy in Qian Tong's hands.

This was Qian Tong's treasure, said to be a fallen star that had crashed into the Falling Star Lake. With its high density and quality, a superior artifact refiner had shaped it into this form.

Under the encouragement of Star Power, the small mountain could have the weight of a whole planet, which was incredibly miraculous.

Qian Tong acquired it in exchange for a holy grade elixir he had refined. Zhu Ziheng had wanted to borrow it to play with, but Qian Tong refused, an indication of how much he cherished it.

As they were discussing, the draw ended. Seeing that Lin Zhen was once again drawn, Qian Tong's expression darkened.

This Lin Zhen had already eliminated two of Qian Tong's guest retainers, an absolute thorn in his side. He wondered if his retainer would make him proud this time.

However, it seemed that the hope of winning was not particularly great. Lin Zhen's abilities were somewhat difficult to gauge now.

Each time it seemed that he was merely ordinary, he always managed to bring new surprises.

The fourth round of battle was ignited. This was also the last one of the morning. After this round, there would be a break.

Lin Zhen against Sha Ping, the battle lasted a full half hour, it was a super long battle.

Sha Ping fought disgruntledly. His strength was comparable to Lin Zhen's, even slightly surpassing, but just slightly. He did not have the capacity to instantly defeat Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's ability to withstand attacks was too strong. He was heavily injured several times and didn't seem bothered, continuing to fight energetically. Rather than saying he eventually lost to Lin Zhen, it was more accurate to say he lost to Lin Zhen's extraordinary endurance.

Half an hour later, Sha Ping was somewhat exhausted, and he was eventually defeated by Lin Zhen, crushing his protective amulet and leaving the stage.

So far, Lin Zhen had safely passed the challenges of the four morning rounds and entered the Yellow Class!

And the number of remaining martial artists was only sixty-four.

As Lin Zhen entered the Yellow Class, Ning Qingxuan and Lin Zhen's supporters all breathed a sigh of relief.

Moving into one of the top four classes had indeed achieved the ultimate goal set initially, Ning Qingxuan felt contented.

The fourth round of battle ended, and the fifth round of draw was carried out immediately.

Among the sixty-four people, there were sixty Three-Flower Warriors, three Longevity Warriors, and one World King.

Lin Zhen drawing a Longevity career was basically a hopeless situation. Moreover, it seemed as if his good luck had run out this time, and he finally drew a formidable opponent.

Again, he was a guest retainer under the National Master and also the last retainer of the National Master, Yin Tianhuo!

Seeing that Lin Zhen drew this sign, the entire cohort at the Falling Star Lake exploded into earth-shattering cheers!

The people of the Qin Kingdom clapped, cheered, hugged, bumped heads, all sorts of gestures from various places were used at this moment to express their excitement.

Who is Yin Tianhuo?

He was a super expert recommended by the National Master, and the public had even recognized him as one of the contenders for the Heaven Class!

The most attention-grabbing battle at the moment was obviously the sixteen people from the Heaven Class and Earth Class, and people had listed out quite a few seed players based on previous combat performances.

There were about twenty or more people who were believed to have a high possibility of entering the Heaven or Earth Class.

For example, the fallen angel Mitchell, Dongfang Yu from Da Han, Sun Yidao from the Dimensional Universe Company, Zhao Lihua from Nan Liang, or Yin Tianhuo recommended by National Master, all of them had a great chance of success.

Given Yin Tianhuo's strength, if there were no accidents, it's completely possible to advance to the Heaven Class!

What's more, facing Lin Zhen, others might give way, but Yin Tianhuo absolutely would not. He wouldn't just not give way, he would even stake his life to battle Lin Zhen. The reason was obvious, just by looking at the National Master's expressions.

Happening upon Yin Tianhuo indicated that Lin Zhen's good luck had come to an end. He certainly wouldn't be able to enter the Xuan Class. He might even risk his life.

The lunch break had arrived, and in two hours, the final three battles would begin.

Sitting in the supporter's camp, Lin Zhen was resting.

To have reached this stage, Lin Zhen felt that he had basically completed his mission.

As long as he could enter the Holy Land, he would consider it a success. With Heigu's skills, even if Lin Zhen were in the Huang Class, he would slowly be able to level up to the Heaven Class.

However, there was only one chance every year to level up through competition. Lin Zhen didn't want to waste several more years to level up, he needed to get as high as possible.

"If I defeat Yin Tianhuo, then I'll enter the Xuan Class. Give it another two years and I'll be able to upgrade to the Heaven Class. So, I absolutely cannot lose this battle."

"Becoming a student in one of the top four classes, there'd be plenty to learn. Showing off the Holy Land Martial Arts gradually in the future wouldn't be a problem either."

With those thoughts, Lin Zhen's gaze fell upon the Blue Whale.

His desire to advance inevitably meant crossing Qian Tong, the National Master, terribly. He believed the National Master would wish to kill him.

Chapter 763: Chapter 766: The Difficult Challenge (Third Update)

Ning Qingxuan came to Lin Zhen's side, showing a stunning smile.

"Lin Zhen, I am proud of you."

"Hehe, the battle hasn't begun this afternoon, and Xuan'er is already proud. What if I lose?"

"It's no big deal if you lose, Yin Tianhu's strength is indeed formidable. I just hope you don't overdo it. If you can't do it, just give up. You have already perfectly accomplished the task by entering the Yellow Class."

"Let's see how it goes, I'll try my best. Maybe I'll pass the test again by chance."

"Yes, don't push yourself too hard. Your Divine Body is incredibly powerful, almost equal to an Undying Body. I believe no one can kill you instantly. Even if you lose, you can withdraw calmly."

Ning Qingxuan was very relaxed. In her opinion, Lin Zhen could only fail at most, but there would be no danger to his life.

Lin Zhen remained silent and looked at the match schedule.

There were still no super powerful matchups in this round. For example, people like Mitchell, Dongfang Yu, and Zhao Lihua didn't encounter each other.

There are only sixty-four people left now, and half will be eliminated, leaving only thirty-two. The few remaining Longevity Stage and a few weaker Three Flowers will undoubtedly be eliminated.

Even if he can defeat Yin Tianhu, his next opponent will undoubtedly be a strong one.

"How long is the interval between the afternoon matches?"

Ning Qingxuan thought for a moment: "There is a ten-minute interval between each match."

Lin Zhen nodded silently, ten minutes… it seemed he could do something with that time.

"Please rest assured, National Master. I am well aware of Lin Zhen's strength. He is definitely no match for me."

Yin Tianhu's wild red hair made him look fierce and ferocious. He was talking with National Master Qian Tong in the Dimensional Universe.

"Don't be careless. Lin Zhen has hidden cards up his sleeve. Don't forget that he is also an Alchemist, and he hasn't used any elixirs to enhance his Star Power yet."

Yin Tianhu was taken aback and began to feel a little apprehensive.

Lin Zhen's current displayed strength is enough to be taken seriously. If he were to consume an elixir as well, it might indeed cause some trouble.

"I'll give you an elixir that can increase your Star Power by 40% for ten minutes, if you feel any trouble, remember to take it. You must defeat Lin Zhen!"

"National Master… the elixir has side effects, right?" Yin Tianhu was a bit anxious. Even if he defeated Lin Zhen, the side effects would completely block his path to advancement.

"Fool! If you can't even defeat Lin Zhen, can you advance? Defeating Lin Zhen will at least promote you to the Xuan Class. Don't you understand this simple logic?"

Yin Tianhu quickly agreed. The National Master was right. If he couldn't even pass the current round, what else is there to discuss? At least winning one more round would be good.

Soon, someone delivered an elixir to Yin Tianhu.

Two hours passed quickly at noon, and it was time for the afternoon matches to begin.

People from the Qin Kingdom, filled with hope, watched Lin Zhen's match again.

For the past three days, they had been exhausted, cheering and supporting the other contestants, but no one was able to make them proud.

Watch as one contestant after another gets eliminated by Lin Zhen; their agony was immense.

What could be more painful than watching someone you despise overcoming obstacles and marching forward?

But they were powerless to do anything, only praying that Lin Zhen would be eliminated by a strong opponent. This motivated people from the Qin Kingdom to continue watching.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen's good luck came to an end as he encountered Yin Tianhu, the first true strong opponent he had faced, belonging to the group of the strongest.

Although there were others with decent strength, they were still far from Yin Tianhu's level.

This round could be said to be the most hopeful for eliminating Lin Zhen.

The battle time arrived, and the match began.

Lin Zhen was teleported to the stage and looked at Yin Tianhu across from him.

Yin Tianhu's weapon was a red-hot battle saber, which was also a Spirit Treasure. Most Three Flowers Warriors had already possessed Spirit Treasures at this realm.

Upon stepping on the stage, the two did not speak much and immediately began their fierce battle.

Lin Zhen wielded the Sky-cutting Divine Sword, with lotus flowers blooming around him and elemental power surging, fighting against Yin Tianhu.

This was the first time Lin Zhen had faced such a strong opponent.

Yin Tianhu's strength was clearly higher than Lin Zhen's, and Lin Zhen was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

Lin Zhen's Star Power was 48 million, while Yin Tianhu's Star Power was almost 70 million. Although Lin Zhen was inferior, it would still be difficult for his opponent to win in a short time.

The reason was simple: Lin Zhen's Immortal Spiritual Body!

The Snow Lotus on his body could resist damage, and Lin Zhen's tactic was primarily focused on guerilla warfare, not seeking to kill the enemy, but rather to waste time.

Yin Tianhu was also extremely frustrated. Lin Zhen's Sky-cutting Divine Sword could resist his saber, ensuring that he would not be severely injured by having his limbs cut off, and he didn't care about the other minor injuries. Even if his stomach was cut open, it would heal quickly.

This was the strength of the Immortal Spiritual Body. If you can't kill Lin Zhen quickly, the battle won't end swiftly. If the battle dragged on, Lin Zhen might even have the chance to make a comeback.

"Damn bastard, do you think you can win against me by relying on stalling for time? Don't dream! I am not Sha Ping, and I won't let you drag this on. Die!"

Yin Tianhu's Star Power exploded, preparing to unleash a big move.

Lin Zhen knew it was a critical moment, and he didn't want to experience Yin Tianhuo's ultimate technique. He wouldn't allow his opponent to release this move.

With a flick of the Sky-cutting sword in his hand, Lin Zhen used the special skill he had just learned.

Black Bone's Stealing Blow!

One sword aimed straight at Yin Tianhuo's chest!

This sword was the essence of Black Bone's life learning, the space distance shortened at this moment, and the power of his whole body's spirit gathered together, converging the Star Power at one point and exploding it!

If Lin Zhen's Star Power was close to Yin Tianhuo's, one sword would be enough to kill his opponent instantly!

However, even though Lin Zhen's Star Power was more than twenty million less than his opponent, Yin Tianhuo was still thrown into chaos by this sword.

This sword forced Yin Tianhuo to show his bottom card. After several attempts and trying various skills, he managed to evade it but still had a wound left on his chest.

Although it was a minor injury, it interrupted his ultimate technique, and his plan to quickly defeat Lin Zhen vanished into thin air.

The battle once again entered a stalemate. Lin Zhen went all out to fight with Yin Tianhuo and dragged on as much as he could.

Every time Yin Tianhuo wanted to use his ultimate technique, Lin Zhen's Stealing Blow would be launched. He figured that Yin Tianhuo wouldn't dare to die with him, making this move effective every time.

All the other ring matches have ended.

Out of the sixty-four contestants, only thirty-three remained, and the thirty-one who advanced were waiting for the outcome of their match.

Although Lin Zhen's battle was extremely tiring, he also kept an eye on the situation in the other arenas.

After seeing that all the other matches had ended, Lin Zhen immediately swallowed the Divine Power Pill!

Although the Divine Power Pill has side effects, Lin Zhen couldn't wait any longer. Without it, he would be no match for Yin Tianhuo.

After taking the Divine Power Pill, his Star Power of 48 million skyrocketed to 67.2 million!

This Star Power was close to Yin Tianhuo's!

Seeing Lin Zhen taking the pill, Yin Tianhuo sneered, "Did you think you were the only one with a pill?"

He too took out a pill and swallowed it!

The effect of this pill was similar to Lin Zhen's Divine Power Pill, both increasing their power by 40%, causing his Star Power to increase by nearly 30 million instantly.

Just two million shy of 100 million!

Since he had a higher base value, at this moment, the gap between him and Lin Zhen reached 30 million!

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, I've been prepared for this move, now is the time for your real doom!"

Lin Zhen showed no expression and instantly activated Armorization.

At the same time, Lin Zhen used all the means available to him.

Sword Gang, elemental power, gravity, Taiyuan Sword Skill, Star Fall Five Skill, and some personal insights from Black Bone were all used!

When his physical strength could no longer resist, he sent out his Divine Infant.

When the Divine Infant could no longer continue, he used the Stealing Blow!

When his power couldn't keep up, Lin Zhen would rather run.

When his opponent's bombardment chased him to the brink, Lin Zhen also unleashed the Snow Lotus, and its petals saved Lin Zhen's life time and time again.

In any case, Lin Zhen refused to admit defeat and wouldn't crush the protective talisman. Facing Yin Tianhuo's furious attack, he stubbornly persisted!

As long as he wasn't cut in half by Yin Tianhuo, he'd be fine!

With this almost shameless fighting style, Lin Zhen stubbornly dragged on the time little by little!

Many times, the people of Qin Kingdom cheered loudly, thinking that Lin Zhen couldn't hold on any longer. However, he always managed to persist, and his various battle techniques were beyond comprehension.

Three minutes… five minutes…!

Seven minutes… eight minutes…!

Others didn't know why Lin Zhen insisted on fighting so desperately, but Yin Tianhuo knew that his pill's effect would soon fade away!

Lin Zhen was too difficult to deal with, his fighting techniques were varied and creative. Furthermore, he had comprehended various elemental powers, space-time, even domains, and mastered several techniques such as ice, fire, thunder, and light. Yet, he still couldn't overpower Lin Zhen!

He was confident that he could win in just five more minutes, but time ultimately didn't favor anyone.

After enduring hundreds of cuts all over his body, Yin Tianhuo was finally forced by Lin Zhen into the tenth minute!

After the ten minutes had passed, the effect of Yin Tianhuo's pill wore off!

Lin Zhen had been waiting for this moment. His Divine Power Pill was an improved version, the best one available on the market. Even though Qian Tong was a Saint-Level Alchemist, his Divine Power Pill wasn't as good as Lin Zhen's!

When the effect of Yin Tianhuo's pill wore off, Lin Zhen, who had been under the onslaught, decisively used the Stealing Blow!

At this moment, Yin Tianhuo entered a weak period, with his Star Power dropping by 50%. Even more crucially, Lin Zhen's Star Power did not drop.

That's why as soon as the pill's effect wore off, Yin Tianhuo immediately crushed the protective talisman.

With a heart full of unwillingness, he was wrapped in a barrier and exited the arena.

"Lin Zhen! We'll see!" He yelled through the barrier.

Lin Zhen didn't even glance at him. After reaching the Holy Land, he wouldn't care about Yin Tianhuo at all. His only concern now was time.

After fighting for ten minutes and having another ten minutes of intermission, the effect of his Divine Power Pill could last until the next match!

Chapter 764: Chapter 767: Enemies Often Cross Each Other's Path! (4th update)

After the hard-fought victory over Yin Tianhuo, Lin Zhen had advanced to the final 32.

This was a very glaring sight – thirty-one Three Flowers Warriors and Lin Zhen, the World King, had no doubt hurt many eyes and hearts.

Making it to the final 32 meant advancing to the Xuan Class, something nobody had expected.

Under the stage, those who were watching were seething with anger.

"That bastard Lin Zhen is in the same class as me now, fine, just wait until you get to the Xuan Class, see how I deal with you!"

A top of the Blue Whale, Qian Tong was almost furious enough to personally eradicate Lin Zhen.

"No! Absolutely cannot let this kid continue. If he enters the Heaven Class or Earth Class, it would be even more challenging to deal with him later, I must take actions."

Supporters cheered, enemies remained silent, but the draw had to proceed.

With only thirty-two people, the draw was quickly completed.

Lin Zhen didn't expect to draw a weaker opponent, in fact, there were no weak ones left now.

But seeing the result of the draw, he found it extremely coincidental.

This round he was actually against Zhao Lihua from the Nanliang Qingye Sect!

When Zhao Lihua saw she had drawn Lin Zhen, her icy face revealed an excited expression.

"You little stinker! It really is true that enemies often cross paths. This is karma, your karma has come!"

After seeing that Lin Zhen's opponent was Zhao Lihua, Ning Qingxuan's expression immediately changed.

"Lin Zhen, that's enough, you've already entered the Xuan Class. Forfeit this round, you're absolutely no match for my ancestor."

"Oh! Xuan'er, you have so little faith in me?"

"It's not that I don't have faith in you, but I know my ancestor. She has been in the Three Flowers Realm for many years now. Even Yin Tianhuo just now would not be her match. In my view, among all the warriors here, she stands the chance to rank in the top five or even the top three!"

Seeing Lin Zhen unmoved, Ning Qingxuan anxiously said, "Do you know her star power has reached 80 million, how can you win?"

Lin Zhen smiled, "There may still be a slim chance."

Seeing Lin Zhen's obstinate appearance, Ning Qingxuan sighed.

"You're always like this, always liking to challenge and breakthrough, I can't persuade you anymore, but you must promise me, no matter what, don't let anything unexpected happen."

"If I can't even do that, there is no need for me to fight on this stage anymore."

Lin Zhen sat down right there, he had used up much energy in the last fight and suffered many injuries. This was the time to recover, he didn't have time for anything else.

Zhao Lihua was very pleased to have drawn Lin Zhen.

Firstly, she particularly hated Lin Zhen, she resented him for killing the Three Iron Granny Sisters and even made off with Ning Qingxuan, the future leader of the Qingye Sect.

If she could take down Lin Zhen in this round, she considered it avenge.

Secondly, she felt that Lin Zhen has almost exhausted all his techniques, although he had continuously created miracles, he was as good as spent. All these Three Flowers Warriors were hoping to draw Lin Zhen, the World King in this round.

Whoever draws Lin Zhen is practically guaranteed to enter the Earth Class.

The Xuan Class and the Earth Class are completely different concepts. Among the eight classes, The Heaven Class and Earth Class are considered in the same tier, the Xuan Class is much worse off. If she can become a Earth Class student, Zhao Lihua is confident that, even if she can't enter the Heaven Class this time, she will surely upgrade to Heaven Class in the future martial arts competition.

As long as her luck in the last round is not too bad, drawing against contestants like Mitchell, Dongfang Yu, Sun Yidao, she will definitely make it to the Heaven Class!

Once she passes this obstacle smoothly, success is just one step away!

The thought of learning the Holy Land Martial Arts, and breaking through the Three Flowers Realm, filled Zhao Lihua with overwhelming emotions.

Just then, someone calling her from behind.

Zhao Lihua turned around and saw a man wearing a black robe, waving at her from not far away.

"Who is that?"

The robed man discreetly showed his face, then quickly hid it back under his robe.

But that quick reveal shocked Zhao Lihua considerably.

Because this man was none other than the National Master of the Qin Kingdom, Qian Tong!

Although she was the supreme leader of the Qingye Sect and at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm, she was no match for someone like Qian Tong, a Three Flowers Warrior.

Qian Tong was the National Master of Qin Kingdom, a Holy Land Warrior, and a Saint-Level Alchemist!

No matter from which aspect, Zhao Lihua was not in the same league as Qian Tong. Moreover, she wasn't familiar with Qian Tong and She didn't know why the other party came to find her.

However, she dared not neglect. Seeing that Qian Tong didn't want to be seen by others, she quietly walked over.

"Master, what do you need from me?" Zhao Lihua politely asked.

Qian Tong spoke to Zhao Lihua, "How sure are you in your battle against Lin Zhen?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Lihua wanted to say 'completely sure', but she changed her mind and said instead, "Eighty percent sure!"

Qian Tong shook his head slightly, "Not enough. Don't think Lin Zhen has no tricks left. He hasn't used his Black Hole Beast transformation yet, you should know about this move."

Lin Zhen's information was not a secret. He had used the Black Hole Devour many times, so others naturally knew about it.

Zhao Lihua nodded, "That's what I'm worried about."

"That's what also I'm worried about. We can't lose this fight no matter what. Here, accept this, keep it well and use it during the battle."

As he spoke, Qian Tong handed the mountain range transformed from the planet to Zhao Lihua.

"This is…?"

"This is my treasure. Lin Zhen's Black Hole Beast transformation also requires time. With this object, suppress him with Gravity Field, his speed will decrease, and if you don't give him the chance to transform the Black Hole Beast, you will surely win."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lihua immediately accepted Qian Tong's mountain range.

"If so, then I shall take it. Thank you, National Master, for your kindness."

"Don't be polite, as long as we can get rid of Lin Zhen, this is nothing. You advance successfully, and I also vented my anger, but there is one thing you have to promise me, that is during the fight, do not let Lin Zhen leave the platform alive."

"I can't absolutely guarantee this, but I will definitely do so."

Qian Tong didn't say anything else, he tightened his black robe and then turned and left the crowd.

He had just said he was going to relieve himself. The arena is about to start, and he can't be away from the blue whale for too long.

Pinching the mountain range in her hand, Zhao Lihua slightly closed her eyes.

"Lin Zhen, indeed the wicked will perish by their own schemes. Even the National Master of the Qin Kingdom wants you dead, how can you still survive? This time I am lucky, not only can I get rid of you, but I also got to know a Saint-Level Alchemist, after many years of hard cultivation, I finally see hope of success!"

Lin Zhen is making use of every moment to recover his strength.

At this moment, his Star Power is higher than ever, over 67 million Star Power, even Longevity Warriors cannot reach this height.

"The next battle is against Zhao Lihua, I can imagine this fight will absolutely not be easy, but I have to give it a try."

"If successful, I will enter the Earth Class, if I fail… No, failure is not an option, I can fail anytime, but facing Zhao Lihua, I absolutely cannot lose!"

In his internal world, the chill of the Ice Snow Lotus rippled slightly.

This chill was also one of Lin Zhen's protective treasures. Whenever his body was injured, where the chill reached, the blood would not flow out, preventing any impact due to excessive blood loss.

He is now making the most of every moment to treat his injuries, while also trying to comprehend the cold aura.

Having an extra trick, would give him an extra boost of confidence for the battle.

That Lin Zhen could persist till now was due to his rich fighting skills. If the enemy could defend against this, they could not defend against another one.

The battlefield over there, was Falling Star Lake.

With every passing moment, there was less than five minutes left until the start of the combat.

"What's that over there?"

A huge Fireball descended from the sky in the distant heavens.

That was a star falling.

If we are only talking about distance, that fireball was at least several hundred thousand kilometers away, or even a million kilometers.

Under normal circumstances, no one could see it from such a remote distance, but those who could see it could only testify how huge that fireball was!

It was a star!

A Constant Star!

Falling Star Lake Holy Land has this peculiar scenery where every day, stars fall from the sky into the lake.

However, falling constant stars were relatively rare.

If it were on Earth, this constant star would have burned Earth to a cinder, not to mention falling down.

Yet in Falling Star Lake, with its diameter reaching hundreds of billions or even trillions of light years, the constant star was just a small fireball, hardly causing any ripple.

People took a few glances and then turned their eyes back to this Holy Land side, where the imminent competition was more exciting to watch.

Only Lin Zhen, his eyes followed the falling of the Constant Star until it disappeared from his field of vision.

"Constant Star… So that's how it falls."

His mind was empty, as if he had gained some insight.

The battle to advance to the top 32 had finally begun.

The continuous three-day battle in the Holy Land was nearing its end, this was the sixteenth round of the knockout.

Because of Lin Zhen's existence, all the ace players had been overshadowed.

Not only here at Falling Star Lake had been overshadowed, but the simultaneous selection at the other three Great Sacred Lands had also been overshadowed. Among all four Great Sacred Lands, only Lin Zhen had made it to the top 32 as a World King!

Apart from Lin Zhen, both Twin Trees Garden and Locking God Platform each had a Longevity Warrior making it to the top 32. People from these two sites were even talking about geniuses, but here at Falling Star Lake, the appearance of a World King making it to the top 32 had shocked everyone.

Lin Zhen was rather well-known in the whole original world, but no one expected that he, as a World King, could make it this far in the adept-filled Holy Land.

Almost all the cameras were pointed at Lin Zhen, watching to see if he could create another miracle.

The countdown ended, time was up!

Lin Zhen, who had been sitting still, let out a breath, and his eyes sparkled with an intimidating brilliance.

The next moment, he had been transported to the arena.

Appearing on the platform at the same time as him was Zhao Lihua from Nan Liang.

A match full of countless highlights officially kicked off!

Chapter 765: Chapter 768: Counterattack in Despair!

After stepping onto the stage, Zhao Lihua lightly tapped the ground with her bamboo cane.

Her eyes seemed to be shooting ice knives, revealing a sinister smile as she faced Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, when I came to the stage, someone warned me to be careful with you. I really don't understand, what should I be cautious about when facing a little brat like you?"

Lin Zhen drew his Sky-cutting Divine Sword: "You will know soon."

"Ha-ha, let's see."

Even before Zhao Lihua finished her words the bamboo cane had already reached Lin Zhen's eyes.

Lin Zhen swiftly blocked with his sword, producing a deafening sound, leaving his arm feeling slightly numb!

At this moment Lin Zhen's Divine Power Pills were in effect, his Star Power reaching over 67 million, but even so, Zhao Lihua's bamboo cane produced a tingling sensation in his arm. The old woman's Star Power was simply outrageous!

Not only was Lin Zhen shocked, but Zhao Lihua was also astonished. Her 80 million Star Power could not force Lin Zhen to back off, this young man was truly shocking.

In the midst of her surprise, Zhao Lihua's determination to kill soared. This boy must be eliminated!

Wielding her bamboo cane, she fiercely attacked Lin Zhen on the platform, engaging him in a fierce battle!

Lin Zhen didn't really want to continue the deadlock with Zhao Lihua. Because the effect of the Divine Power Pills only lasted for another seven or eight minutes. Once the effect wore off, he would enter a weak period and would undoubtedly be defeated.

To finish the conflict, he must do it during the effective period of the drugs.

The solution was to transform into the Black Hole Beast and Devour with the Black Hole Storm, which could certainly wipe out Zhao Lihua.

The transformation into the Black Hole Beast took a bit of time and required a certain distance, but Zhao Lihua didn't give him that opportunity. The attack pattern of her bamboo cane was like a flooding river, sticking Lin Zhen in close combat and not giving him any room to distance himself.

One was desperately trying to disengage from the battlefield to transform, while the other was tightly clinging to him. Lin Zhen was at a slight disadvantage mentally.

"Slap~!"

The bamboo cane hit Lin Zhen's ribs, breaking several of them.

There was a stuffy feeling in his chest, which nearly made him spit out blood.

"Ha-ha-ha~! Lin Zhen, don't think I don't know your plan. You want to use your Black Hole Beast transformation to fight me? I have been on guard against this move for a long time. Unfortunately, you don't have the ability to use it while facing me."

The bamboo cane transformed into a continuous stream of water, permeating everywhere like quicksilver.

After enduring a hit, Lin Zhen felt extremely uncomfortable. The bamboo cane was of a spiritual treasure level, and each hit made his internal organs shake.

Temporarily giving up his idea of retreating, Lin Zhen focused on the battle.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was practically at his peak strength with the highest Star Power, and his combat experience and techniques were top-notch.

Although Zhao Lihua had 80 million star power, she could only utilize 90% of it, which was 72 million. Compared to Lin Zhen's current level, it was less than 5 million, a gap that was almost negligible.

When Lin Zhen put aside his thoughts of escaping from her and decided to fight head-on, Zhao Lihua finally recognized the true strength of this young man.

Despite her decades of experience, she wasn't able to gain the upper hand against Lin Zhen!

If it weren't for Lin Zhen's handsome face before her, she might have thought she was facing an old monster, which had lived for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!

"This…how is this possible?"

Zhao Lihua was a bit sweaty on her forehead. She originally thought that Lin Zhen, being a World King, could not be her opponent. But unexpectedly, he turned out to be this powerful.

Boom~!

A fireball came smashing towards her. Zhao Lihua swung her bamboo cane to disperse it. Amidst the blazing flames, a Planet rained down from the sky!

It was too late to dodge. Zhao Lihua had no choice but to withstand the hit.

The bamboo cane collided with the Planet. Although the Planet was shattered, Zhao Lihua felt stuffy in her chest and staggered backward.

Lin Zhen stepped on his Plum Blossom Piles and swept with the Sky-cutting Divine Sword in his hand!

"Zing~~!!"

Zhao Lihua blocked with her cane, but she lost her last resistance.

His palm emitted a ray of sword light, and his body rotated, sweeping out a succession of strikes!

Zhao Lihua bent down to dodge with all her might. She avoided the strike to the head, but her hair wasn't so lucky. Her high bun was hit by Lin Zhen's succession of sword strikes!

"Puff~!!"

Along with her scalp and a large amount of hair, Lin Zhen sliced off with one sword strike!

Zhao Lihua screamed as blood slid down from her head. Although this strike didn't cause any serious injury, it made her look extremely miserable.

More than half of her hair was cut off, and blood streamed down her face, which made her look fierce and terrifying, like a demon.

Lin Zhen pulled back after his successful attack, planning to use the Black Hole Devour to completely eliminate Zhao Lihua.

But before he could transform into the Black Hole Beast, Zhao Lihua suddenly raised her hand!

A grey, mountain-like object ascended and directly reached the top of the protective shield of the stage, and a great pressure descended from the sky!

A Martial Artist alone can shoulder mountains and manipulate the moon.

But at this moment, Lin Zhen felt a giant star instead of a mountain on his head!

Under Zhao Lihua's Star Power, this mountain-like thing emitted a gravitational force similar to a planet, and it nearly caused Lin Zhen to kneel on the ground!

Armorization~!

Lin Zhen instinctively used Armorization, and pressed both hands on the ground. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his scales. His bones made crackling sounds, as if they were about to break at any moment!

The fighting stage this time was newly built and was much stronger than the previous one. Yet, delicate cracks began to appear under Lin Zhen's feet.

"What is… what is this?"

Seeing that Lin Zhen was unable to move, the embarrassed Zhao Lihua approached him.

By wiping her face with her hand, the stream of blood made her face more menacing.

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Lihua snarled, "You little bastard! Let's see how you manage to turn things around this time. I'm going to flay you alive!"

Lin Zhen strained to raise his hand. In his palm was an amulet. As long as he crushed it, he would be able to leave the arena.

"Crack~!"

Zhao Lihua's bamboo stick flew through the air and landed directly on Lin Zhen's wrist.

His wrist hurt and the amulet fell, only to be snatched by Zhao Lihua.

"Trying to run! It's already too late. However many strands of my hair you've cut off, I'll carve that many pieces of flesh off you!"

A dagger flashing with cold light appeared in Zhao Lihua's hand, and it swung down!

Under the oppressive force of the planet-sized weight above him, Lin Zhen had no chance to dodge. A swathe of his flesh was sliced clean off, along with his scales!

"Hahaha~! This is so thrilling! This time you've transformed to such a large size, it's enough for me to deliver tens of thousands of cuts. Lin Zhen, I know your Divine Body is strong, but I wonder if you can survive being cut into pieces!"

Thunk, thunk, thunk~!

As the knife flew around, Lin Zhen was immediately covered in wounds!

"Husband!"

Ning Qingxuan's heart nearly shattered watching this scene. In this moment, she truly felt fear.

Lin Zhen was now unable to leave the arena. Was he going to be brutally murdered here?

"Grandmaster, please show mercy!"

Ning Qingxuan's pleading had no effect; Zhao Lihua heard but only gave her a cold gaze.

Lin Zhen heard it too, looked back at Ning Qingxuan, and slightly shook his head.

Ning Qingxuan froze. In Lin Zhen's eyes, she glimpsed his unyielding spirit.

Excitement spread around the arena. Finally, the people from the Qin Kingdom could cheer. Lin Zhen was now a lamb to the slaughter, without any hope of turning the tables!

Under the cheer of the people, Zhao Lihua's spirits soared even higher.

Knife in one hand and bamboo stick in the other, she launched a furious onslaught on Lin Zhen!

"Serves you right for daring to oppose this old woman! Do you think the Nan Liang is someone you can offend? The Qingye Sect is a place you can disrespect? Have you thought about the consequences when you were being so cocky?"

Lin Zhen's body bent under the relentless attacks, but he didn't collapse!

"Thud~!"

Like a dying gasp, Lin Zhen grabbed Zhao Lihua's ankle.

"Hahaha! You still wish to struggle? It's pitiful that this is useless. I will sever your hand right now!"

The knife in her hand was swung, cutting into Lin Zhen's wrist.

However, after the blade sliced into his flesh, it couldn't advance easily. Lin Zhen's Immortal Spiritual Body was not just for show. It was already hard to cut through his scales, and when it reached the bone, the knife could no longer progress.

"What a tough Divine Body. But it's useless. Right now, you can't even move. Even if you hold onto this old woman's ankle, it won't make any difference. I can still kill you and cut you to pieces!"

The sounds of bamboo stick and flying knife continued to fall relentlessly!

There were cheers, silence, and people weeping in the crowd.

But everyone had come to accept that this battle was over. Lin Zhen's tragic end was not only near, but it had also arrived.

On the back of the Blue Whale, Emperor Zhu Ziheng's Queen sighed lightly, "Ah! What a pity for that handsome man."

Jin Nuo, the fifth son of the Holy Land, frowned slightly. Compared with Lin Zhen and Zhao Lihua, he still thought that Lin Zhen had greater potential. But this was an arena, where the law of the jungle prevailed, and he could not interfere forcefully.

More than eight minutes had passed…

Zhao Lihua had started panting. Lin Zhen's Immortal Spiritual Body was too troublesome. Especially since he was keeping his head low, grabbing her ankles to prevent her from moving, and not exposing any of his weak spots for her to attack, it would take her forever to kill him.

"You punk, your pill's effect should be wearing off soon. When it does, your death will come!"

"Hm… why is there such a chill at my feet?"

Zhao Lihua looked down swiftly and, to her horror, discovered that at some point both her feet had been encased in ice by Lin Zhen, fastening them to the arena!

This cold ice emerged swiftly and spread rapidly, encapsulating her feet, knees, and thighs!

Resembling Eternal Mysterious Ice, it radiated a faint bluish glow. Despite her Star Power, she felt her lower body's blood stagnate and lose its feeling!

"You little bastard! How dare you!" Zhao Lihua lifted her bamboo stick to strike again.

Lin Zhen powered through several hits from the stick, and staggered backward.

Seeing Lin Zhen's movement, Zhao Lihua was terrified. If Lin Zhen managed to create distance between them, wouldn't that give him a chance to unleash the Black Hole Storm?

Not a chance!

Zhao Lihua's Star Power was still formidable. With a twitch of her hand, the planetary landscape that Qian Tong had given her rolled and tumbled. As it pressed down with unstoppable gravity, she aimed to crush Lin Zhen alive on the arena!

Facing the now descending planet, Lin Zhen, after armorization, let out a thunderous roar!

"It's my turn now, isn't it?"

"Constant Star… Fall~!"

His thick arm waved through the sky, sending a mass of Star Power breaking through the air. It quickly gathered and swelled in the air, growing larger and larger till it turned into a flaming ball resembling a Constant Star. It flew into the sky, fiercely colliding with the planetary landscape!

Chapter 766: Chapter 769: Swallowing Stars!

In the center of the ring, Lin Zhen's attack was now dominating!

If there had been a slow-motion camera at this time, one could see the amazing transformation of Lin Zhen's starlight.

From fireball to star core, from star core to constant star, it took only a short 0.001 second!

This Constant Star Variation technique was something Lin Zhen comprehended during the previous Constant Star Fall.

Sometimes, comprehension is just a matter of a split-second, but there often needs to be a medium, and the best medium is witnessing something with your own eyes, which can give you sudden insights.

The mountain star above Lin Zhen's head was so oppressive that he could hardly breathe. He wanted to get rid of it, but Zhao Lihua was still attacking him furiously in front of him.

The only solution was to temporarily incapacitate Zhao Lihua.

Lin Zhen's ice power came in handy at this time. While Zhao Lihua was enjoying the fight, Lin Zhen was accumulating power and completely freezing Zhao Lihua's legs in one go.

If Zhao Lihua wanted to interfere again, she would have to cut herself in half!

A Constant Star Fall, a hard clash with the planet!

Of course, Lin Zhen couldn't bring down a planet in one blow; what he needed was temporary gravity elimination!

The planets collided in the confined space!

As Lin Zhen's constant star hit, the space trembled, and Zhao Lihua's control was momentarily lost!

"You little bastard, don't even think about it!"

Zhao Lihua's eyes were filled with rage as she swung her cane out, using spiritual power to direct it straight toward Lin Zhen's throat.

"Snow Lotus Blooms!"

Lin Zhen snapped his fingers, and a lotus flower bloomed in mid-air, blocking the cane.

Zhao Lihua raised her hand again, and the knife in her hand flew out, only to be blocked by another lotus flower.

With this time, Lin Zhen finally got the chance to transform into the Black Hole Beast.

In one second, a huge black Kylin, six meters tall and more than ten meters long, appeared!

Its mane fluttered, its fangs shone, its body was covered in black scales, and flames flowed around its body. The Kylin raised its head and let out a sky-shaking roar!

The star river emerged above its head!

A huge black hole began to whirl as it opened its mouth wide!

"You won't have this chance. I'm going to crush you!"

Zhao Lihua was also extraordinary. In the last moment, she could still control the power of the mountain star, dropping it from the sky and launching it toward Lin Zhen.

"Within my field of vision, nothing can harm me!"

Lin Zhen abruptly opened his mouth wide, aimed the black hole at the attacking planet, and unleashed the terrifying Black Hole Storm!

The naked singularity appeared, horrifying death ripples expanded in circles, and the mountainous planet began to be absorbed, disintegrated, melted, and reconstituted within the black hole!

Seeing this scene, Qian Tong, far away on the back of the blue whale, suddenly stood up.

This mountain star was his, and he had spent a lot to get it. He had lent it to Zhao Lihua to deal with Lin Zhen, but he didn't intend for Lin Zhen to devour it.

That's right, Lin Zhen wanted to eat this planet; it posed too much of a threat to him.

Zhao Lihua put in all her efforts, forehead veins bulging, star power driving the mountain star, but she did not want to give up.

However, the power of devouring from the black hole is the most mysterious force in the universe, and it's almost unstoppable. How could Zhao Lihua control it?

The mountain star Qian Tong had acquired had the ability to compress a whole star into a mountain much larger than a steamed bun, which was already very impressive. However, Lin Zhen's black hole compression was even more ruthless!

If it were an ordinary planet, Lin Zhen wouldn't be able to swallow it because what he wanted to devour had to be within his field of vision first.

How far away does one have to be from a planet to include it in one's field of vision?

Even if he did include it, the distance would exceed his devouring range.

So this compressed planet in front of him was the best devouring target.

Lin Zhen didn't know what the consequences of swallowing this star would be, but at this moment, his instinct was to devour it!

Under Zhao Lihua's command, the planet began to expand continuously; first, it was the size of a steamed bun, and in the next moment, it was as large as a table.

In the next moment, it was even larger than a skyscraper. If given time, this mountain range might even become a planet again.

However, under Lin Zhen's crazy devouring with the black hole, the planet simply couldn't grow. As it grew, it was constantly stripped away.

All the material belonging to the planet fell and entered the black hole with the death ripples, being compressed into infinitely dense neutrons.

It took a whole minute!

In this minute, the mountainous planet had been compressed by Lin Zhen into a material the size of a marble.

"Retrieve-!"

This marble fell into Lin Zhen's internal world.

As the marble fell, his internal world trembled. This was not just a marble, but a planet even larger than Earth!

Lin Zhen felt that this marble would be useful, but he didn't have time to study it at the moment. Having swallowed the mountainous planet, he still had to deal with Zhao Lihua, and this old beggar woman also had to be dealt with.

Having used the Black Hole Devour, there were only ten seconds left of the effects of the Divine Power Pill.

Lin Zhen quickly returned to his human form and leaped towards Zhao Lihua with a single bound.

Zhao Lihua was still immersed in the annoyance of losing her treasure, and she saw Lin Zhen approaching, with the ice under her feet remaining unbroken, she couldn't move at all.

Realizing Lin Zhen was going to kill her, Zhao Lihua no longer cared about her promotion.

Entering the Xuan Class would also be a good choice, she was about to crush the amulet resolutely.

Lin Zhen reached out both hands, Sword Gang flickered, spraying out a ten-meter-long sword light, raised his hands high in the air and slammed them down: "Zhao Lihua, you can't escape this time!"

"Plop plop~!"

Two streams of fresh blood sprayed out, and two withered hands were cut off by Lin Zhen in one stroke!

She had an amulet of her own and had snatched Lin Zhen's amulet, which now both laid on the ground!

Zhao Lihua screamed in pain, she didn't have an Immortal Spiritual Body like Lin Zhen; losing these two hands would require great effort to recover.

But now it was no longer a matter of hands. Lin Zhen had come to her face, reached out both hands, and firmly grabbed Zhao Lihua's shoulders: "You should leave your arms behind!"

"Crack~!" Both arms were forcibly removed by Lin Zhen.

Terrified for the first time, the always arrogant Zhao Lihua screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Lin Zhen, stop it! I am Ning Qingxuan's master, doing this is betraying and dishonoring your master!

"Phew!"

Lin Zhen spat bitterly at her: "Only now you remember you are a master?! If a master has characteristics like you, then I will betray and dishonor you! What can you do about it?"

Lin Zhen despised Zhao Lihua; if it were just an ordinary fight, it would be fine. But no, she had to put people in a life-and-death situation, something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.

Besides, after entering the Holy Land, he couldn't guarantee that Zhao Lihua wouldn't target Xuan'er. Lin Zhen had to be on guard.

The best way was to make her dead.

"Being frozen must be very painful; let me give you some warmth now!"

Lin Zhen opened his palm, and fierce flames burst out, enveloping Zhao Lihua.

Wrapped in bright blue flames, Zhao Lihua, who had lost her hands and feet, couldn't resist and instantly turned into a human torch.

At the moment of her death, Zhao Lihua still shouted without giving up.

"National Master, save me… Saint Master… you can't just stand by…."

Soon after, she fell silent and turned into a charred corpse.

Burning everything flammable inside her body, Zhao Lihua turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

The prompt sounded, "Congratulations to Lin Zhen of Star River Giant Beast Alliance for winning, entering the top 16!"

Lin Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, finally finishing, he entered the Earth Class of the Holy Land.

With this step, he truly completed his mission, and Lin Zhen had no intention of immediately entering the Heaven Class; the Earth Class was already enough.

The barrier outside the stage dissipated.

The noise rushed by, and all kinds of words were present: angry, desperate, joyful, and some people were concerned about the last words shouted by Zhao Lihua.

So the National Master also wanted to kill Lin Zhen.

In this Holy Land battle, National Master Qian Tong's side was almost completely wiped out; only one person, Yin Tianhuo, entered the Yellow Class, and a few others were in the last four classes, with poor results.

Moreover, Lin Zhen alone eliminated four guests from the National Master, three of whom were seeded players; no wonder the National Master hated Lin Zhen.

But as soon as Lin Zhen had just left the arena, something happened that everyone didn't expect.

National Master Qian Tong, surprisingly, flew over from the back of the Blue Whale, and brazenly attacked Lin Zhen!

No one expected his move, including the Five Sons of the Holy Land, Jin Nuo.

Qian Tong was furious, with his guests being eliminated by Lin Zhen one after another, and now his treasure had been swallowed by Lin Zhen. Moreover, at the last moment, Zhao Lihua sold him out, letting everyone know about his secret actions, and his face could no longer be saved.

He was never a kind person in the first place, but now anger arose in his heart, and evil grew up beside his gall; he just wanted to kill Lin Zhen first.

Killing a Holy Land Warrior was not a minor matter, but he was confident in himself that nothing would happen because he was the only Saint-Level Alchemist in the Original World, and no one would be foolish enough to get rid of him.

Now was the last second of Lin Zhen's Divine Power Pills effect.

He didn't expect National Master Qian Tong to resort to a personal attack, but Lin Zhen wasn't afraid of him at this moment because he had just learned Constant Star Fall.

"Let's do it!"

Waving both hands, Star Power erupted again, Constant Star Fall struck once more!

Qian Tong didn't expect Lin Zhen to launch this attack again; both of them confronted each other head-on without any fancy moves.

Like two kites soaring in the sky, Qian Tong and Lin Zhen both retreated back, tumbling over.

A row of lotus flowers formed a blooming road in the sky, retreating continuously on the road for a few steps, Lin Zhen slowly sat down.

The effect of the Divine Power Pill had worn off, and he entered a Weak Period.

But he was happy; he had finally completed the mission for this Falling Star Lake trip, National Master Qian Tong wouldn't have the opportunity to mess with him anymore.

As expected, Jin Nuo, one of the Five Sons of the Holy Land, had already rushed over, the outcome was decided!

A soft and delicate body buried itself into Lin Zhen's arms; Ning Qingxuan wept with joy, "Husband! You won! You defeated my Master, you entered the Holy Land, and you became an Earth Class student!"

Lin Zhen looked back; behind him were familiar and warm smiles; every one of his supporters expressed their inner joy with the brightest smiles!

Chapter 767: Chapter 770: The End of the Battle in the Holy Land

Lin Zhen advanced, and his fight with Qian Tong did not give him any upper hand. Despite his confidence that Lin Zhen was not his match, the Constant Star-like attack in his haste still forced him back leaving him rather embarrassed.

However, feeling Lin Zhen's Star Power rapidly decreasing, he knew that the effects of the medicinal pill had completely worn off.

So Qian Tong wanted to make a move again, but unfortunately a figure appeared from behind, grabbing his collar and flinging him away!

"Does the Saint Master intend to be an enemy of Falling Star Lake?"

An irresistible force carried his body in a somersault, flinging Qian Tong several tens of thousands of meters away!

After barely steadying himself, he saw in the distant place, the eyes of the Fifth Prince of the Holy Land were extremely cold. Despite being far away, he could still feel the chill from those eyes, and Qian Tong's heart gradually cooled down as well.

Impulsive!

After Lin Zhen advanced, he was now an Earth Class student of the Holy Land. He was too impulsive at the moment. If he had killed Lin Zhen, it would have been fine, but he didn't, and instead offended Jin Nuo.

Qian Tong mumbled a couple of words, then suddenly raised his fist to Jin Nuo: "My impulsiveness took over me, I hope the Fifth Prince can forgive."

"I will report this matter to the teacher, Saint Master better tread carefully!" Jin Nuo turned his head and didn't look at him again.

After all, given Qian Tong's special status, it's better to let the teacher handle such issues.

Jin Nuo then looked at Lin Zhen, feeling a little moved.

This time, Falling Star Lake encountered an extraordinary guy. If this boy advanced to Longevity, he might be able to go anywhere in the Original World.

Lin Zhen gently stroked Ning Qingxuan's hair, feeling warmth in his heart.

After breaking through to Longevity within the Holy Land, he should find an opportunity to return to the New World and bring his family over.

And Little Phoenix, he should also find a chance to bring her over. There were only ten years left to the millennium mark, he could not let Qing Luan wait any longer.

Of course, the most important thing was cultivation. Finally entering Falling Star Lake, Lin Zhen believed that he could certainly merge the martial arts of Falling Star Lake and Locking God Platform into one, and create his own powerful martial technique!

The round of battles ended, and the final round of draws was left.

The people of Qin Kingdom completely despaired and no longer cared whether Lin Zhen would win or lose.

Victory meant Heaven Class, defeat meant earth class, neither of which were results they wanted to see.

The grumbling people of Qin Kingdom had already begun to leave, but they didn't know whom to curse at.

Even the National Master Qian Tong had subtly made a move, but still couldn't take down Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen was absolutely not so easy to deal with, they didn't want to watch Lin Zhen's continued success.

The final round of draw began, and Lin Zhen's opponent was the Fallen Angel, Mitchell.

"I forfeit!"

Just when people thought they could witness an intense battle, Lin Zhen chose to tactically retreat.

The Black Hole Devour had been used, the Divine Power Pills had been swallowed, the Destructive God Thunder had been released, and now he was even in a Weak Period due to the side effects of the pill, Lin Zhen had no possibility of winning. Why humiliate himself?

He wanted to enter the Heaven Class, but not necessarily right now, Lin Zhen was very relaxed about this. Being able to secure an Earth Class quota was already the best outcome.

Mitchell was quite excited when he drew Lin Zhen as his opponent, thinking he could have a vigorous fight. But hearing Lin Zhen forfeiting, he felt somewhat regretful.

However, Mitchell quickly understood Lin Zhen's actions, and specifically walked over to Lin Zhen to give him a hug.

"Lin Zhen, I really admire your fighting spirit. It's a miracle that you were able to fight all the way here. When you break through to Longevity, let's have a good bout."

Lin Zhen responded with a smile: "There will definitely be that day."

"Then you better hurry up and come to the Heaven Class. This time next year, I want to see you in the Heaven Class!"

"It's a deal!"

Mitchell laughed heartily, and the two somehow became friends.

Sometimes, friendship is just a mutual feeling.

Lin Zhen forfeited, directly entering the Earth Class, while Mitchell became a Heaven Class student without any fight. He was probably the first among the Four Great Sacred Lands to advance to the Heaven Class.

The subsequent battles soon started and after a fierce competition, Mitchell, Dongfang Yu, Sun Yidao, and others became Heaven Class students.

With this, the curtain completely fell on the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake.

Meanwhile, news came from the other Holy Lands as well, all battles had ended, and students of all classes had been determined.

Zhu Ziheng exchanged a few pleasantries and then left hurriedly, clutching his Queen's hand and turning a cold shoulder to Lin Zhen.

Saga from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance was overjoyed as he approached Lin Zhen with an offer. "Lin Zhen, congratulations! I'm stunned that you've made it to the Earth Class in one go, it's a miracle! Keep working hard. Once you return from the Holy Land, I'll hand over the leadership of the Fire Kirin Tribe to you. You can then contend for the leadership of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance!"

Lin Zhen laughed off his offer without outright refusal. He had no interest in being a leader, but he didn't want to dent his spirit just now.

Then Long Ge'er approached Lin Zhen as well, "Well done, you've made the Alchemist Guild proud. Don't forget alchemy while cultivating; it's also a form of cultivation."

"Yes, Vice-Chairman, I will always remember the guild and consider myself a member," Lin Zhen replied.

After Long Ge'er left, gradually, the crowd began to disperse.

All the warriors who entered the Holy Land were now gathered in front of the Blue Whale.

Prince Jin Nuo stood on the back of the Blue Whale, addressing the crowd.

"Congratulations to you all for becoming part of the Falling Star Lake Holy Land. The history of the Four Great Sacred Lands is far-reaching, even exceeding the lifespan of many kingdoms. Holy Land Warriors are distinct from ordinary warriors; as a Holy Land Warrior, you shoulder a responsibility."

His eyes surveyed the crowd. "The Original World is not comprised solely of Ground Clans, but also extraterrestrial clans. The Imperial Clan has always been hostile to the Original World classes primarily composed of the Human Clan causing battles between them to break out from time to time."

The crowd was stunned. Although they knew about the Imperial Clan, they were unaware that the Original World was at war with them.

"It is normal for you not to know before. The Holy Lands have always been engaged in battles with the Imperial Clans, but this has never been disclosed to the common folk. Now that you are all part of the Holy Land, naturally you are eligible to know."

"Just know that you are shouldering a mission. For the sake of the survival of all species on the Original World, at any time you may be called upon to fight."

"However, before that, you must diligently hone your skills. Only excellent Holy Land Warriors are qualified to confront the extraterrestrial species. If you lack the ability, not only are you ineligible to fight, but to warriors, it's an absolute humiliation."

Jin Nuo's speech was motivational, instilling a sense of duty in all the warriors, including Lin Zhen.

Even though Lin Zhen did not believe there was a clear dividing line between right and wrong in the race war, as a warrior, he could not reach lofty heights without braving challenges.

Jin Nuo continued, "You may think you are super-strong, that you are top-tier geniuses because you stood out among the many competitors. But let me tell you, that's in the world of ordinary warriors. Once in the Holy Land, you are no one!"

As Jin Nuo shook his finger slightly, some warriors expressed their disbelief.

"No need to object. Not only are you in each class of the Holy Land. With every ten year recruitment, everyone can cultivate in Holy Land for a hundred years. Just take the Earth and Heaven class for example; eighty people come in every ten years, so in a hundred years, there are eight hundred."

"Even though some factors might lead to loss of members, each class has at least forty or fifty people. Do you think you can sweep everything in this martial contest? What about compared to the last one? And those Holy Land warriors who have been comprehending at the Stele for decades? Aren't you pitifully weak then?"

Upon hearing Jin Nuo's words, even those previously arrogant warriors began to show humility.

Indeed, every era had countless geniuses. Compared to those proficient in Holy Land martial arts, they fell significantly short.

"So, remember that you should pay attention to cultivation and avoid causing trouble in the Holy Land. I hope you will all achieve early success in your learning."

"Now, go home and rest for the day. Settle whatever matters that need to be addressed. Gather here tomorrow, and someone will take you to Star-Picking Island. Even though you are not barred from going out once you've entered the Holy Land, I believe once you start understanding the Stele, you won't have time for anything else."

Having finished his speech, Jin Nuo seemed ready to leave.

At this moment, a warrior couldn't help but ask, "Prince, when can we become direct disciples of Falling Star Lake's Master, like you?"

Jin Nuo paused, then smiled faintly, "You would have to work hard for that. When I was cultivating, I used to mentor each incoming class to the Holy Land. Almost every single class has someone asking this question. In total, you are the 1,520,000th person to ask me that question."

All the candidates were taken aback. How old exactly was Prince?

With one class every ten years and over 1.52 million people, that meant he had already lived for over 15 million years!

The same warrior then asked, "How many people have managed to achieve this?"

Jin Nuo smiled again, "The duty of reception always falls on the youngest among us. More than a million years have passed, and I'm still in charge of reception. What do you think?"

All the warriors including Lin Zhen were shocked this time.

Over a million years, yet the Master of Falling Star Lake hadn't accepted any other disciples!

Over a million selections, with over a thousand people at each selection. That meant Falling Star Lake had absorbed more than 1.5 billion warriors over this period!

And out of those 1.5 billion talented elites, none had qualified!

Even the ones who had brimming confidence in themselves now felt severely demoralised. These demands were just too harsh.

"I hope someone among you can take over my duties, becoming the Sixth Brother of the Holy Land. By then, I can finally take a breather, and maybe even enjoy a vacation."

As Jin Nuo spoke, his gaze swept past the crowd of warriors.

Lin Zhen felt like Jin Nuo's gaze had lingered on him for a moment, though he was unsure if it was an illusion.

Chapter 768: Chapter 771: 33 Heaven Tower

Having explained everything, Jin Nuo turned around and left.

The Blue Whale swam away, skillfully slicing through the waves with a flick of its tail.

With Jin Nuo gone, the remaining students formed their own groups spontaneously.

Heaven Class people were together, Earth Class people were together, and Huang Class people were together.

Lin Zhen stood in the Earth Class group, and besides him, the other seven were all Three Flowers Realm Martial Artists.

One of them, a martial artist named Huang Zun, said: "Fellow classmates, we'll all be in the same class from now on. I hope we can unite and not be bullied by those seniors."

The others nodded in agreement. After arriving at the Holy Land, they would be the new and inexperienced newcomers, definitely in a vulnerable position compared to the seniors.

Lin Zhen also thought so. Inside the Holy Land was also the Martial Artists World, and as long as it was the Martial Artists World, strength was supreme. It was inevitable that they would be bullied as newcomers.

"How about I host a gathering tonight at Changtian Pavilion in Qin Kingdom? The eight of us can get to know each other better."

Huang Zun was the one with the best performance among all the Earth Class students. Although he had lost to the Heaven Class students, he only lost by one move. He was eager to surpass them and enter Heaven Class by this time next year.

According to his performance, among the eight Earth Class students, he had the intention of being the leader.

The others remained silent, not responding. Every one of them who had come this far was proud, and no one was willing to be subordinate to others.

Lin Zhen was the first to speak: "I don't have time right now. Tomorrow I'll enter the Holy Land. Today, as you all saw, I have so many supporters here, so I need to be with them. I have to decline."

After saying this, Lin Zhen turned and left. Xuan'er and the others were still waiting for him.

Watching Lin Zhen leave, Huang Zun had a disdainful look on his face: "Just an excuse. What's the point of staying with ordinary martial artists when we are all Earth Class students in the Holy Land?"

Lin Zhen didn't bother to see if the other Earth Class students would also take action. He returned to his supporters.

"Brother Lin, we talked to sister-in-law, today is your big day, and we have to celebrate properly. Today we're gonna treat you as a rich man since you have the money."

Zhao Xiaoman spoke confidently. Lin Zhen chuckled: "Alright, today everyone goes to the best restaurant in Qin Kingdom, and no one leaves until they're drunk!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and they headed back to Qin City in a large procession.

There were plenty of restaurants in the Original World that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Lin Zhen booked thousands of tables and treated his supporters.

Although the people of Qin Kingdom despised Lin Zhen, the current situation was different from before.

Lin Zhen, as an Earth Class student of the Holy Land, was not to be offended casually by ordinary people.

Qian Tong, as the National Master of Qin and the only Saint-Level Alchemist in the Original World, was extremely prestigious and exalted. However, because he had interfered once during the competition, he remained in the Holy Land and hadn't returned yet.

Offending the Holy Land would cause significant trouble, even for a Saint Master like Qian Tong.

Qian Tong's status in Qin Kingdom was on par with the Emperor, and if even he couldn't afford to offend the Holy Land warriors, let alone others.

So no matter how flamboyant Lin Zhen was in Qin, the people dared not express their anger and would try to avoid him as much as possible.

The Holy Land was the most potent protective talisman for martial artists, and those who didn't want to die wouldn't dare to ignore the significance of these two words.

During the feast, it was as if everyone had returned to their days in the New World.

Everyone had come from the New World and drank happily, reminiscing about the past.

Hearing the enthusiastic discussions about the New World, Ning Qingxuan's beautiful eyes blinked non-stop.

"Husband, when will Sister Su Mingyue and Sister An Ning come?"

"Well, after a while, I suppose. To ensure their absolute safety in the Original World, I must advance to the Longevity Realm and achieve something in the Holy Land. Otherwise, it would do more harm than good to them."

Lin Zhen missed his family as well. He couldn't go back to the Original World, the New World, and the Dimensional Universe because they couldn't interconnect. He missed his parents, his wife, and his children but couldn't return for now.

The price of the Wormhole Egg was 300 billion, which Lin Zhen didn't have at the moment. However, once the opportunity arose, earning 300 billion for a Level 7 Alchemist wasn't an unattainable goal.

"What about Little Phoenix? She's not too far away from here."

Lin Zhen nodded, indeed it was time to bring Little Phoenix. After settling down in the Holy Land, he would do so.

At this moment, Long Juetian suddenly said, "Brother Lin, it seems Miss Feng Qingluan has gone to the Twin Trees Garden Holy Land."

"Gone to Twin Trees Garden?" Lin Zhen was taken aback, as he didn't know about this news.

"Why are you just telling me now? What's going on?"

Long Juetian glanced at Ning Qingxuan: "I haven't had the chance to tell you yet."

"It's alright, Qingxuan isn't the narrow-minded kind of woman, you can speak freely."

"I've heard that the Star River Giant Beast Alliance recommended people to participate in the Holy Land selection. The Phoenix Clan was given only two spots. One went to Jun Mo, but he didn't perform well in the Holy Land. The other went to Feng Qingluan. However, she went to Twin Trees Garden Holy Land, and it seems that she has also entered the Holy Land. You can check for more details."

Lin Zhen hurriedly searched for information on the Twin Trees Garden Holy Land.

Suddenly they found that among the Holy Land in the Twin Trees Garden, Feng Qingluan entered the Yellow Class!

Lin Zhen very much wanted to speak with Little Phoenix, but unfortunately, he did not have the dimensional universe number for the other party.

Long Juetian continued: "I happened to meet Miss Feng by chance, and she asked me to relay a message to you."

"What message?"

"She said she won't lose to anyone beside you, and when the time comes, you two will meet each other."

Lin Zhen remained silent for a while, he knew that Feng Qingluan would not be content with mediocrity, especially after Ning Qingxuan appeared, little phoenix might have been stimulated.

Proud as she was, she would not allow herself to lose to any other woman, no matter who it was.

Ning Qingxuan's eyes flickered upon hearing these words: "What a prideful little sister. I'm quite looking forward to the day I get to meet her."

Lin Zhen coughed and pretended not to have heard Ning Qingxuan's words. He raised his glass to the others and said, "Thank you all for your support. Let's down this drink!"

It was five hundred apiece for the top-quality Snow Burning drink, consumed by ten thousand people.

With one gulp, it went down to five million!

On Star-Picking Island, Jin Nuo was consulting his teacher in the dimensional universe.

Or rather, the one answering him was not really his teacher, but his teacher's intelligent lifeform.

Very similar to Lin Zhen's Chris, the master of Falling Star Lake had an intelligent life form that appeared to be a gorgeous young woman in her twenties.

In fact, Jin Nuo had no idea where his teacher actually was, and he hadn't seen him in tens of millions of years. Every time he would inquire, it was this intelligent lifeform that would receive him, but it did represent his teacher's will.

"Jin Nuo, what is the matter?"

"Teacher, it is regarding this year's Holy Land Selection."

"The Holy Land Selection takes place every ten years. It isn't a particularly special occasion so there's no need to report it to me; you can handle it."

"Teacher, a World King named Lin Zhen has entered the Earth Class."

"Oh! A World King? And he entered the Earth Class?" The gorgeous young woman wore a black leather outfit that showed off her shapely figure. Sometimes Jin Nuo wondered if his teacher created this intelligent lifeform for some entertainment.

The young woman pondered: "There have been precedents of World Kings entering the Four Great Sacred Lands, but those happened in ancient times. After the widespread availability of Longevity and the Three Flowers, World Kings had almost no chance."

"Even those rare instances involve the entry into the Huang Class or Hong Class. This direct entry into the Earth Class is the first time."

"Yes, that's why I found it important enough to report to you, teacher. Besides, Lin Zhen has suffered multiple unfair treatments: the first time was within the Holy Land, when Blackbone, the Locking God Warrior whom I captured, was released by someone and controlled to assassinate Lin Zhen. However, Blackbone's form and spiritual essence were destroyed, and it's not yet clear who was responsible."

"Another was Qian Tong, the National Master of Qin and the Saint-level Alchemist, who attempted to scheme against Lin Zhen but failed. I have now ordered Qian Tong not to leave the Holy Land. What should we do, teacher?"

"Saint-Level Alchemist…."

The beautiful young woman thought for a moment: "The Holy Land is located at Falling Star Lake, within the Qin Kingdom. Qian Tong holds great power in the Qin Kingdom, so we must give the Qin people some face. Thus, punish him by having him refine elixirs in the Holy Land for a hundred years, and all of them will belong to the Holy Land. He may only leave after one hundred years when Lin Zhen and his batch of students have departed."

"Yes, I understand!"

"As for the unfair treatment Lin Zhen received, we were ultimately negligent in some aspects. You can occasionally give him some guidance to help him progress more quickly."

"Is this also the teacher's opinion?" Jin Nuo looked bewildered as he hadn't expected this response and suspected that it was the intelligent lifeform's initiative rather than the teacher's opinion.

"Jin Nuo, are you questioning my command?" The gorgeous young woman's voice suddenly changed, becoming full of immense power!

Feeling the tone of her voice, Jin Nuo shuddered, and immediately knelt down: "Jin Nuo dare not!"

"Jin Nuo, do you know how much your eldest brothers and sisters shine now?" The voice returned to the soft, gentle tone of the young woman.

Jin Nuo's expression immediately became envious. In truth, in the Holy Land, the only person in charge was him, therefore he had to personally take care of these matters.

This was the rule of the Holy Land: when there are junior brothers, all hardship falls on them, and the seniors can run away and enjoy themselves.

"Don't you want to be like them?"

Jin Nuo now understood his teacher's intentions, "I understand, teacher. But whether it is possible or not depends on his luck since the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower is simply too difficult to climb."

"Indeed. Speaking of which, ever since you joined fifteen million years ago, there have been no newcomers. The Holy Land has indeed become quite deserted."

The beautiful young woman sighed then revealed a bewitching smile: "Alright, my master can't leave without me. I'll be leaving first!"

"I shall see you off, Teacher!" Jin Nuo bowed /.

After exiting the dimensional universe, Jin Nuo gazed into the distance.

At the very top of Star-Picking Island, reaching into the depths of the starry sky, stood a lofty tower.

This tower was named the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. It was said to have stood here since the birth of the Original World, and it was the foundation of the Holy Land!

Chapter 769: Chapter 772: First Arrival in the Holy Land

Lin Zhen's friends gradually dispersed.

Many of them chose to stay in the Qin Kingdom, where there was also a Hometown Association for people from the New World. Everywhere was a matter of survival, and the prosperity of the Qin Kingdom was indeed very attractive.

Ning Qingxuan chose to stay at the Association of Alchemists in Qin City, cultivating in a suspended villa.

"Husband, don't worry about me. Martial artists don't have a concept of time when cultivating. You'll only be in the Holy Land for a hundred years, and they don't forbid leaving. If you miss me, just come back and see me."

Ning Qingxuan, with her snow-white skin, snuggled in Lin Zhen's arms, her cheeks still slightly flushed.

"Hmm, I'll come back often."

"However, husband, you have to be cautious, there are competitions among Holy Land warriors. The closer you are to the stele, the more you can learn. So internal challenges are important."

"Is it the same for every Holy Land?"

"Yes, every Holy Land is like this. Ranking last in a class not only leads to learning less but also risks being demoted during annual assessments."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I am strong in every aspect, you know that."

Lin Zhen's words provoked Ning Qingxuan to pinch him hard, but it only aroused his desires further. He pinned the beautiful woman beneath him and proved his words with non-stop exercise from twilight to dawn.

The next morning, all the newly admitted students gathered at the Falling Star Lake.

The weather was nice today, although there were some waves, it wasn't too bad. The Blue Whale of the Holy Land was seen swimming in the lake in the distance, pushing through the water.

A servant in green clothes stood on the back of the Blue Whale and said to all the students, "I'm here by the order of the Fifth Young Master to take you all to Star-Picking Island. Please get on the fish!"

Lin Zhen touched his nose, thinking that getting on a fish was indeed an unusual phrase compared to getting on a car, a boat, a plane, or a warship.

The Blue Whale stopped in the deep water area, and all the students flew up and landed on its back in order, starting with the Heaven Class students and ending with Huang Class students.

"Hold tight! There are big waves and monsters in Falling Star Lake. If you fall down, it would be dangerous!"

The servant gave a warning, and the Blue Whale turned its head, its huge fins paddling through the water, rumbling forward into the depths of Falling Star Lake.

Lin Zhen had to admit he had never seen a fish swim so fast.

This was not just swimming, but gliding on the water surface with the fins occasionally slapping the water, accelerating at many times the speed of sound!

Everyone tried their best to hold onto the whale's back to avoid being blown away.

The further they went into Falling Star Lake, the bigger the waves became, making it feel like they were entering the vast Pacific Ocean, with no end in sight.

Enormous waves towered ahead, so high that they even slapped against the clouds!

Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Even these martial artists felt the powerful force of nature here, making the area feel like a forbidden zone for life.

"Hold tight!"

The servant shouted, and the Blue Whale dove straight into the waves.

At the heart of the massive waves, a bizarre light circle appeared.

"This is… a teleportation gate!"

Before anyone could react, the Blue Whale passed through the gate and appeared in a completely new body of water.

Mist lingered everywhere, and the Blue Whale continued to swim forward. After about an hour, they left the foggy area.

Everyone was confused about the route they had just taken.

However, they knew they were nearly there, as a huge island loomed faintly in the distance. Their destination, Star-Picking Island, was just ahead.

The speed of the Blue Whale gradually slowed down, and the surrounding waves disappeared.

"Star-Picking Island is near the center of Falling Star Lake. You have traveled through the teleportation gate, and you are now 8 billion light-years away from Qin City!"

The martial artists were amazed. They had to travel through a teleportation gate, and without the servant's guidance, they would never have found the gate to Star-Picking Island amidst the violent waves.

A Universe Class Martial Artist asked, "Brother, how can we leave Star-Picking Island if we want to?"

"The Holy Land does not forbid students from leaving. However, you won't be able to find the teleportation gate on your own for the first time. You'll have to take the transit tool from Star-Picking Island."

"Is it the Blue Whale?"

"No, the Blue Whale is a large transportation tool. You can only take… ah, there it is."

The servant pointed ahead, and a huge silver dolphin over ten meters long appeared on the vast lake surface next to the island, its silver skin shimmering in the sunlight.

"This is the Holy Land Dolphin. You can rent it, but it will cost a considerable fee each time."

"How much could the rent be!" A Huang Class Martial Artist snorted disdainfully.

The menial worker smiled: "Not much. If you want to return to Qin City, it's ten billion each time!"

"What? Ten billion?" Many Martial Artists were surprised. Although their realms were not low, making money in the Original World was not easy. Without Lin Zhen's alchemy skills, ten billion was not a small number for anyone.

A Space-Class Martial Artist said somewhat dissatisfied: "Isn't this a bit too much? We are all Holy Land Warriors now, and the Holy Land can be considered our home. How can they charge us such high fees?"

"Exactly, it should be free to use. At least our Yellow-Class should have the right to use it for free."

"Why should Yellow-Class be free? Just because you're one level higher than our Universe-Class?"

"Although we're from Huang Class, we should be treated equally."

A few Martial Artists started to argue. At this moment, Heaven-Class student Mitchell suddenly spoke: "Stop arguing! Rules are rules. You just entered the Holy Land, and you already consider yourselves the masters?"

As the number one candidate in this selection, Mitchell had a lot of deterrent power as a Heaven-Class student. Many people remained silent when he spoke.

The menial worker smiled at Mitchell: "This classmate is right. Although you are Holy Land Warriors, you are not the Holy Land Masters. You are just here to learn, like students paying tuition. You enjoy everything in the Holy Land, but you have to pay the price. Only the Holy Land Master or his direct disciples can be considered as the masters."

People immediately thought of Jin Nuo. If they couldn't reach Jin Nuo's level, they wouldn't be considered a master.

"I may be a mere menial worker, but I still want to remind you that if you want to stand out in the Holy Land, you can only rely on your strength. The higher you can climb the 33 Heavens Tower, the higher your position in the Holy Land."

"33 Heavens Tower, what is that?"

"Hehe, we have arrived at the Holy Land. Someone will explain it to you soon. Everyone, please get off the fish."

The blue whale docked at the shore of Star-Picking Island, and there were already people waiting on the shore.

Everyone once again disembarked from the back of the blue whale in order and landed on the shore.

As before, a menial worker greeted them emotionlessly: "Everyone, follow me. I will explain some things to you on the way. If you can't hear or remember, I won't repeat."

At this time, Huang Zun, an Earth-Class student, said: "Damn! Why are these menial workers so arrogant? We're students, and they're menial workers. Can their status be higher than ours?"

Lin Zhen indifferently spoke: "All the menial workers in the Holy Land are Longevity Warriors. For them, the Holy Land is their home, while we are just passing by. We don't have any significant status."

"Lin Zhen… do you know who you're talking to?" Huang Zun seemed to have a grudge against Lin Zhen, perhaps because Lin Zhen didn't give him face yesterday.

Lin Zhen snorted coldly, without answering him.

Huang Zun wanted to say something more, but the menial worker turned around and spoke: "Be quiet, or leave the team."

Huang Zun pointed his finger at Lin Zhen a few times, and then he remained silent.

A bluestone path winds up from the edge of the island.

The menial worker led the people along the path, giving introductions as they went.

"Currently, there are more than 30,000 people living on Star-Picking Island. Among them, there are more than 8,000 students and over 20,000 menial workers. The island has everything you need, like a small city."

"The area we're approaching is where the students reside. From Heaven-Class to Huang Class, the higher the student's ranking, the better the living environment. You can choose to live here if you want. The top villas are for Heaven-Class students; each student has one. Earth-Class students have slightly smaller villas. Xuan-Class students have their individual houses… The lowest dormitories are for Huang-Class students, but I don't think it's significant since you'll rarely have a chance to stay here during cultivation."

As they walked past a place called Golden Pill Pavilion, people stopped.

Because they saw a person coming out of the Golden Pill Pavilion.

It was Qian Tong, the Saint-Level Alchemist from Qin Kingdom!

"Isn't that… isn't that Saint-Level Alchemist Qian Tong? What is he doing here?"

The menial worker laughed: "Apparently, he made a mistake and was punished by the Fifth Prince. He is confined to the Holy Land for one hundred years, and he's not allowed to leave or go to the Stele Area. He can only practice Alchemy in this place."

When people heard the menial worker's words, they understood Qian Tong's mistake – attacking a participant during the competition, which was a violation of the Holy Land's dignity.

What surprised them even more was the power of the Holy Land.

With one word from the Fifth Prince, the only Saint-Level Alchemist Qian Tong in the Original World obediently stayed in the Holy Land for a hundred years. Martial Artists who knew how influential Qian Tong was in the Qin Kingdom were even more amazed.

The Holy Land's authority was truly terrifying!

Qian Tong looked at the Martial Artists passing by, and his eyes fell on Lin Zhen. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he dared not show it too obviously. Instead, he turned around and returned to the Golden Pill Pavilion, out of sight and out of mind.

Lin Zhen's gaze also casually swept past, as if he had not seen Qian Tong.

They continued along the bluestone path, and after crossing a small ridge, they finally arrived at the core area of the Holy Land.

Ahead, on the slope, massive stone steles towered in the vast morning fog, appearing and disappearing in the haze.

Chapter 770: Chapter 773: The Rules of the Fifth Young Master

"Everyone, please look up. This mountain is the second highest peak on Star-Picking Island, and going from the foot of the mountain up, you will find the locations of the eight different classes."

"At the bottom is the Huang Class area, followed by the Hong Class, and at the very top is the Heaven Class. Since the existence of Falling Star Lake Holy Land, there have always been people here. Those of you with good eyesight might be able to see the people below the stone monument."

Lin Zhen looked up and indeed saw a group of people under the huge stone monument of the Huang Class, though the distance was too far for him to see clearly.

"I'll accompany you all until here. Beyond this point, it is forbidden for ordinary workers to enter. The Fifth Young Master, Jin Nuo, will personally come down to take you all up. You're really quite fortunate; in previous years, the Fifth Young Master wouldn't have bothered with such trivial matters."

Having said that, the worker turned around and left. Above them, the Fifth Young Master, Jin Nuo, clad in a white robe, was slowly descending.

"Greetings, Fifth Senior Brother!" cried the group in unison. People from outside the Holy Land referred to Jin Nuo as the Fifth Young Master, while those within the Holy Land addressed him as the Fifth Senior Brother.

"You are all here now, follow me up."

The group lined up behind Jin Nuo, marveling at the endless scenery that surrounded them, as if their eyes could not take it all in.

Gazing down from the mountain, the sky was like a vast expanse, and the lake water swirled. This ancient land exuded an aura of age and mystery everywhere.

In the distance, a surge of waves shot up into the sky and into the dark clouds. A massive white dragon in the sea let out a resounding roar, before disappearing into the clouds, bringing a sudden storm from afar.

As they reached the location of the first stone monument, Jin Nuo halted.

There were about a dozen stone monuments here, each nearly a hundred meters in size. Some bore written words, some depicted images, and others were merely abstract, indecipherable objects.

Jin Nuo stepped in front of the crowd and spoke loudly: "Most of the stone monuments in Falling Star Lake Holy Land have been left behind by our predecessors. For example, these Huang Class monuments were carved by the ancestors of this class. Each monument records their lifelong learning and achievements: a set of martial arts techniques, a sword skill, or possibly a different martial skill. However, they all have one thing in common: the contents of the monuments are extremely profound."

As he spoke, Jin Nuo approached a stone monument.

The individuals studying the monument in front of him stood up to greet the Fifth Senior Brother and then made way for him.

"Take this stone monument, for example, named the Flaming Sword Skill, written by the first generation of Huang Class students."

At this moment, a Huang Class student asked, "If I want to leave my own martial technique behind, can I choose a monument and carve it on there?"

Jin Nuo smiled faintly: "Of course, as long as you have the ability."

He pointed at some of the blank stone monuments behind him: "There are still plenty of empty ones here. I would be more than happy to see any of you carve something on them, but I fear you may not be capable."

The martial artist who asked the question appeared unconvinced. After all, it was just a stone monument. His fingers could shatter mountains, so why would he care about a stone monument?

Perhaps wanting to prove himself in front of others, the martial artist strode towards a monument.

The older Huang Class students revealed a hint of mockery in their eyes, but none of them spoke up.

The martial artist arrived in front of the monument, raised his hand, thought about what he wanted to carve, and then swiftly moved his fingers!

"Ahhhhhhh~~!!"

"Pupupupupu~~~!!"

Stone fragments flew about as the martial artist's Star Power circulated through his body, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

In a short while, he had carved quite a few words from top to bottom on the relatively small monument. However, he still couldn't manage it in one go, needing to pause and catch his breath before continuing.

After stepping down, he expected to see envious gazes all around him – but instead, he found looks of pity and mockery.

Sensing that something was wrong, he suddenly looked back.

Behind him, the words he had carved were sparse and, as the wind blew, they were quickly dissipating!

Jin Nuo spoke indifferently: "What you thought you engraved with such effort was merely scratching through the dust on the surface of the stone monument. Apart from the dust, you have no ability to leave even a trace on the monument!"

"I can't believe… I can only carve through the dust," the martial artist's face turned ashen, evidently deeply distressed.

Jin Nuo smiled: "There's no need to be upset about it. Among those present, no one but myself has the ability to carve on the monuments."

He pointed at Mitchell: "He can't."

He pointed at Dongfang Yu and Sun Yidao, as well as several other Heaven Class students: "Neither can they."

And then his finger pointed at Lin Zhen: "Even he can't, for now."

Lin Zhen was stunned; Jin Nuo mentioned the Heaven Class students, which was understandable, but there were eight Earth Class students, and he only singled Lin Zhen out as being currently unable. This implied that Lin Zhen would be able to do so in the future.

Seeing the jealousy in the eyes of Huang Zun and the others, Lin Zhen knew that Jin Nuo had deliberately set him against them. Lin Zhen did not know Jin Nuo's intentions and could only remain silent.

Regardless, Jin Nuo seemed oblivious to the inappropriateness of his actions and continued: "I believe I told you yesterday that, upon arriving at the Holy Land, you are all nothing. Over countless years, only so many monuments have been erected in the Holy Land. Just think about the extraordinary people who could have carved on them. It's disappointing to see someone overestimating their abilities right after arriving."

The martial artist looked incredibly upset, his pride long shattered. He hung his head, not daring to make a sound.

The people around didn't dare to speak either. Although Jin Nuo appeared gentle, he was still the one currently in charge of the Holy Land, and his strength was unfathomable. No one dared to say anything at this moment.

As the atmosphere became overly solemn, Lin Zhen suddenly asked a question.

"Fifth Senior Brother, how powerful must one be to inscribe on the monument here?"

Jin Nuo glanced at him, and seeing that it was Lin Zhen, his face relaxed.

"Good question, I was going to tell you about this. Inscribing on the Holy Land Monument is not that easy. If you want to inscribe on the monument, you have to go and challenge the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower first."

Everyone looked at him, as this Thirty-Three Heavens Tower seemed to be very important.

"Here is the second highest peak on Star-Picking Island. Above the clouds at the highest peak, there is a treasure tower called the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. On every floor, there is a guardian. When you defeat the guardian, you can continue to climb up. To inscribe on the monument, you have to pass the twentieth floor. Those who fail to pass the twentieth floor will not be able to leave their mark on the Monument."

Everyone became interested upon hearing this and could not wait to go and test how many floors they could reach in the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower with their current strength.

Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Jin Nuo smiled: "Are you trying to overestimate your abilities again? Let me make it clear: among the more than a thousand of you, there will definitely be no more than ten who can pass the first floor in one go!"

No one dared to question Jin Nuo's words, but they were still amazed.

So, to what extent must one reach to pass the highest floor of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower?

However, Jin Nuo didn't explain much: "Alright, you can slowly learn about the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower later, but what is more important now is cultivation. The Huang Class students should stay here to cultivate. But remember, you cannot cross the archway above; beyond the archway is the practicing area for Hong Class. Those above can come down to gain insight though."

"All Huang Class students, stay behind. If there are disputes about the specific order for gaining insight from the stone tablets, you can resolve them through arena battles, but only in the Dimensional Arena. Those who fight each other privately will be punished by the Holy Land."

After finishing, over half of the thousand people stayed and the remaining five hundred or so followed Jin Nuo to continue forward.

After passing through a moonlit archway, there were more than twenty stone tablets standing here.

"The inscriptions on these stone tablets were left by Hong Class students in the past. On average, there might not even be one person out of ten thousand generations who can inscribe on these tablets. Since the founding of the Holy Land, countless generations have passed, but only so few Hong Class students left inscriptions. How much you can gain from these inscriptions depends on your own luck."

"Fifth Senior Brother, why are there more tablets here than in the Huang Class?" A Hong Class student asked.

"It's simple. It's because the quality of Hong Class students is better than Huang Class students, so the number of strong people is larger, and so there are more tablets."

People nodded in agreement.

The Hong Class students stopped at this location and couldn't continue to follow Jin Nuo forward.

At first, some people felt regretful, but they quickly entered an obsessed state because the stone tablets here were just too appealing.

Everyone found a suitable technique for themselves, each stopping to practice immediately.

Most people focused on gaining insight from behind, not daring to challenge the seniors ahead. Those who thought their strength was not bad challenged the older students, but without exception, all of them suffered terrible defeats.

After settling the Hong Class students, Jin Nuo continued on with the remaining two hundred plus people.

Passing another archway, there were about thirty more stone tablets here.

"This is the domain of the Universe Class, there's no difference from the previous rules. For these tablets or those beneath in Hong Class and Huang Class, you can gain insights freely, but you cannot go up."

Jin Nuo said goodbye to the Universe Class students and continued upwards, then he sent away the Earth Class, Yellow Class, and the Xuan Class students.

When they reached the Earth Class, there were only sixteen people left around him.

However, the Earth Class had fifty or sixty tablets. Although there were fewer people, the quantity of strong people here was greater.

Dozens of people were practicing in the distance, seemingly unaware of Lin Zhen and the others' arrival.

"You all stay here. The Heaven Class and Earth Class students can add me to their Dimensional Universe. If you have any questions, you can ask me, but I advise you not to bother me about trivial matters."

Everyone showed delight as adding the unfathomable Fifth Senior Brother as a friend was also an honorable thing.

"I won't talk about the rules anymore, just cultivate. Remember, without significant accomplishments, don't challenge the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower easily, lest your confidence gets shattered."

After that, the Heaven Class students continued to go up while Jin Nuo stayed behind and suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zhen again.

He handed a flower to Lin Zhen.

"You are the only World King in this generation, and you are noticeable. However, I hope you will continue to strive. Although the road ahead is full of thorns, as long as you hold on, you will eventually bloom a beautiful flower, just like this Thorns Flower, I give it to."

Lin Zhen accepted the flower, and Jin Nuo turned and left.

He lowered his head, looking at the flower in his hand, and felt a surge of emotions in his heart.

"Thorns Flower… This is clearly a rose! I need to stay calm. This is just a difference in customs and traditions, absolutely no other meaning!"

Chapter 771: Chapter 774: Stele Comprehension

The eight people from the Earth Class arrived in front of the stone tablets.

There were plenty of stone tablets here, totaling fifty-five, but basically, someone was in front of each tablet.

Every ten years, eight Earth Class students enter the Holy Land. As Lin Zhen and his batch entered, those from a hundred years ago had left. Normally, there should be eighty people.

But in reality, there were less than seventy people in the Earth Class. A lot can happen in a hundred years, and some martial artists were no longer here due to various reasons, be it leaving or falling.

However, the number of people was still more than the number of stone tablets, so most people focused on one tablet, while others dealt with two or three.

Only the last few stone tablets had no one pondering them, but one didn't need to ask to know that most likely, these tablets were more difficult.

The first stone tablet had the most people in front of it, with three Martial Artists.

As Lin Zhen and the others arrived, a chubby Martial Artist opened his eyes.

"The new students are finally here. Our batch isn't the youngest anymore."

"Is there any trick to understanding these stone tablets?" Huang Zun spoke calmly.

The chubby martial artist glanced at Huang Zun: "There isn't much of a trick. The key is selection. No one can comprehend every single stone tablet. For example, if you're learning sword arts and insist on comprehending spear arts, then it's a waste of time. Choose what suits you best to learn. The purpose of pondering the stone tablets is to challenge the Thirty-Three Sky Tower, and being able to increase your strength is enough."

"So, what are you guys comprehending?"

"This is Gale Step, which is suitable for combat footwork."

Upon hearing the chubby Martial Artist's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

Footwork is crucial for a Martial Artist. For example, Lin Zhen's Plum Blossom Piles footwork has helped him numerous times in battle.

However, the Plum Blossom Piles footwork has its limitations and cannot be considered a top-level martial technique.

Gale Step is a type of versatile footwork that any Martial Artist can learn and find useful. Several Martial Artists immediately prepared to learn it.

However, comprehension also needs to be in order, according to the Holy Land's rules. At the moment, Lin Zhen and his group were ranked in the last eight positions, and there were still no differences among them.

This matter of ranking came in handy when it came to comprehending popular stone tablets. Those with higher rankings could get better positions.

The chubby Martial Artist said: "If you want to comprehend, you can determine the order by fighting among yourselves. Of course, you can also challenge us, but there is a prerequisite for challenging us."

"What kind of prerequisite?"

"The standard for measuring strength in the Holy Land is the Thirty-Three Sky Tower. We have all cleared several floors, more or less. If you want to challenge us, you must be on the same level in the Thirty-Three Sky Tower. If your cleared floors are higher than ours, your ranking will automatically advance."

A Martial Artist suddenly realized: "Oh! So, the so-called challenges can only be conducted among the same level?"

"That's right. Only those who clear the same number of floors can challenge each other. For example, if all of you haven't cleared a single floor, you can challenge each other. If someone has cleared the first floor, then you'd lose your qualification to challenge them."

Several Martial Artists looked at each other, and two of them turned and left, intending to see just how difficult the Thirty-Three Sky Tower was.

However, most of them didn't plan to go just yet. The Thirty-Three Sky Tower should be very difficult, so if they could learn the Gale Step, it might make the challenge easier.

Huang Zun glanced at the few people around him: "I want to comprehend this Gale Step stone tablet now. Let's decide on the order. Those who also want to comprehend can challenge me."

Among the Martial Artists from the Earth Class, two already considered Huang Zun as their leader. Perhaps they had exchanged moves with him yesterday and knew Huang Zun was strong.

However, two others challenged Huang Zun. Since everyone hadn't cleared a single floor of the Thirty-Three Sky Tower, there was no harm in a friendly spar.

Lin Zhen didn't participate in the challenge or try the Thirty-Three Sky Tower. He was currently in the weak period due to the Divine Power Pills and still needed two days to recover. He wouldn't engage in battles during these two days.

After walking around, the Earth Class Martial Artists who had come with them found stone tablets and settled the order.

Huang Zun's strength was quite formidable, as he won two consecutive matches and obtained a good comprehending position.

Even those who lost had to be ranked ahead of Lin Zhen, as he hadn't participated in a single match, automatically placing him in the last position.

However, Lin Zhen wasn't anxious, as there wasn't much use for him to comprehend the regular stone tablets. Due to inheriting Heigu's memory, he had already mastered many Holy Land martial techniques, such as the Gale Step, which he had already learned.

Previously, it wasn't convenient to expose his skills, but now that he was in the Holy Land, Lin Zhen could slowly show what he had learned.

Seeing Lin Zhen strolling around without participating in any challenges, Huang Zun and the others looked at him with disdain.

"This pill-taker, without giving him the opportunity to transform into a Black Hole Beast, he's just trash!" Huang Zun looked down on Lin Zhen. In his eyes, the Earth Class was full of Three-Flowers students; it was a disgrace for him, a World King, to be mixed in with them.

"There's no other way. Who told him to be an alchemist? I heard that the elixirs he has made are even better than what Qian Tong can make. It's really puzzling how such a young kid has managed to reach such a level in alchemy."

A Martial Artist sighed with envy for Lin Zhen being a Seventh-grade Alchemist.

"Hmph! What's the point of being good at alchemy? The foundation of a Martial Artist is still martial arts training. Focusing on alchemy without achieving longevity is neglecting one's proper duties. Regardless of lifespan, if it comes to an end, everything becomes empty. A World King who is over a thousand years old is not a peerless genius. It's just the talent of the Black Hole Beast that allows him shortcuts."

Huang Zun once dedicated himself to studying alchemy, but indeed, alchemy is an arduous process that requires the accumulation of extensive time. His intermittent cultivation had only made him a Third Grade Alchemist till now.

He was already over five hundred thousand years old, but Lin Zhen's achievements at just over a thousand years were better, which naturally caused some imbalance in his mind. This was one of the reasons he disliked Lin Zhen.

"Focus on cultivation and try to squeeze this kid out of the Earth Class!"

Huang Zun started cultivating in front of the Gale Step stone tablet.

After a while, the two people who went to challenge the Thirty-Three Sky Tower returned.

"What's the result? Did you pass the first floor?"

One of them shook his head slightly: "No, the guardian on the first floor is too difficult to beat. In the Early Stage of the Three-Flowers, a Spiritual Mind Master at the Peak of Dark Gold, his Mental Shock is faster than a gun, and we just can't withstand it!"

Another one, who was clearly hit in his self-confidence, said: "This Thirty-Three Sky Tower is too perverse. If the first floor is so difficult, there are still thirty-two floors later. When can we finish them all? I think no one, even the Gods, can pass all the floors."

"Just focus on cultivating, don't be overambitious."

While they were talking, Lin Zhen had already reached the depths of the stone tablets.

He had looked at all the stone tablets and had chosen one to comprehend.

This stone tablet was called the Shadowless Step, an upgraded version of Gale Step.

The creator of the Gale Step had left two stone tablets. The Shadowless Step contained the essence of his learning, which made it extremely difficult to master.

The Gale Step was achieved by using the power of Wind Element combined with one's own comprehension, while the Shadowless Step was much more complicated, employing the Wind Element along with Spatial Power and the Power of Time.

After creating Gale Step, some other Martial Artists also learned the skill, so it was also available in the Sacred Place of the God-locking Platform. However, the Shadowless Step was unique to Falling Star Lake.

Some martial arts skills have a lot in common. Heigu's previous learning was extensive, which could help Lin Zhen save many steps when learning.

"I'll choose this Shadowless Step. Once it's mastered, it'll be far more useful in combat than teleportation. Teleportation requires a launch time and a reaction time, and there's a possibility of being interrupted. The Shadowless Step doesn't have this problem. I'm already proficient in Spatial and Time powers, and I have the foundation of Gale Step, so learning this won't be an issue."

"However, learning this directly may arouse suspicion. I'll go to Gale Step and pretend to study for a few days."

Seeing Lin Zhen come to the Gale Step stone tablet, Huang Zun and his group puffed up their chests, even looking at Lin Zhen with provocative eyes.

Lin Zhen ignored them and sat in the back to comprehend.

"Tsk! What a wimp!"

Huang Zun spoke with disdain, but when he saw that Lin Zhen had no reaction, he lost interest.

Thus, their days of cultivation in the Holy Land began.

The novelty of being in the Holy Land soon wore off for the Martial Artists, and they became immersed in their intense cultivation.

There were rules in the Holy Land. A person could stay here for at most a hundred years. After a hundred years, if one was not chosen as a personal disciple by the Holy Land Master, they would have to leave.

A hundred years may sound long, but for Martial Artists, it was too short. Everyone was eager to learn and comprehend.

During this process, Lin Zhen's performance was somewhat unusual.

After comprehending the Gale Step for two days, Lin Zhen left the stone tablet and went to comprehend a stone tablet called Water Dripping Sword Skill.

People thought he had given up on comprehending the Gale Step, but to their surprise, he went to a stone tablet about Mental Power Control after studying the sword skill for three days.

Those who initially paid attention to Lin Zhen now started to look down on him.

Focus is important in martial arts training. What's the use of learning a little of everything but not mastering any? Lin Zhen was clearly biting off more than he could chew. Soon, they believed, he would regret it.

For an entire month, Lin Zhen wandered around. In the end, he would even go to Xuan, Yellow, and Huang classes to comprehend for a while, attracting people's attention.

After a month, Lin Zhen returned to the Earth Class and stood in front of the Shadowless Step stone tablet.

For that month, he hadn't wasted his time. At least, people thought his learning was mixed, so when he demonstrated Holy Land Martial Arts in the future, no one would say anything beyond admiring how he learned so well in such a short time.

When he returned to the Shadowless Step stone tablet, Huang Zun and others completely ignored him.

By now, in their eyes, Lin Zhen was no longer in the same league as them. After a year, Lin Zhen would surely drop to the Xuan class, and they wouldn't need to waste their energy on him any longer.

And finally, Lin Zhen began his first official cultivation session in the Holy Land.

Chapter 772: Chapter 775: The Stay of the Four Great Sacred Lands

The stone tablet of the Shadowless Step is a hundred meters high, divided into nine smaller patterns like a Sudoku grid.

The first pattern has only one footprint, the second has three, and the third has ten.

By the last pattern, there were so many densely packed footprints that some were even covered up, leaving only a faint outline of their edges.

Figuring out the order of these footprints was incredibly difficult.

The fact that there was no one in front of the Shadowless Step stone tablet proved its level of difficulty.

Everyone's time was limited; mastering the Gale Step would take a long time, and many people simply didn't have the time to learn the Shadowless Step.

Even with Lin Zhen's comprehension, learning the Shadowless Step was challenging, and the first small pattern was a crucial threshold.

The first step was a simple left foot imprint, but it was unclear whether it was a forward or backward step, how far to move forward, or how large the amplitude should be when moving backward. It was extremely difficult to find that mysterious sensation.

While pondering here, Lin Zhen was also constantly simulating and practicing in the Dimensional Arena.

"These steps are so difficult, seemingly simple but incredibly challenging. This step can't be off by even the slightest, and there's one on the second pattern that's the same as this one. If it's off even slightly, the second pattern can't be performed."

"Moreover, this involves the spatial power, temporal power, and wind element. While stepping, one must pay attention to the combination of these three factors. The pace of time is definitely different from the normal flow, and the power of the wind element needs to be added as well. The amount added is also an issue; it's truly so difficult!"

This was also one of the reasons why others did not try to comprehend this technique. Time, space, and wind element – this simple step contained endless variations. It was impossible to learn for those who did not comprehend these three factors.

After thousands of simulations, Lin Zhen determined that the first pattern's footprint was a forward-step and then began a lengthy process of trial and error to find the exact same position.

If it weren't for the foundation of the Gale Step, this step would have been impossible to take.

The time quickly passed by five days.

Within these five days, every second was spent attempting a step filled with countless variations.

On the yellow sand of the arena, Lin Zhen was deeply engrossed.

A gentle breeze blew by, and as Lin Zhen lifted his foot to move forward, the space slightly fluctuated, and time seemed to distort at that moment.

It was a magical feeling that could only be experienced with extremely high comprehension.

Taking this step, Lin Zhen felt a dislocation; it was just a small step but covered nearly a meter's distance!

"I succeeded!"

"I found it – left front, 32.5 centimeters. Added a bit of spatial power, sped up the time by 0.5 seconds, and the wind element provided acceleration. Even the slightest deviation wouldn't result in that mysterious sensation; it's so demanding!"

When Lin Zhen took this step, his mood surged.

In this life, Lin Zhen's talent and comprehension were exceptional. Coupled with multiple adventures, he was already an unprecedented Martial Arts Prodigy. Finding this step was no easy task.

"I succeeded with the first pattern, but true success is still far away. The second pattern has three footprints, which brings many changes, and it needs to be connected with the third pattern."

"However, just this one step alone can catch an opponent off guard in battle. A simple step can unexpectedly appear in the wrong position. This first step is actually the most important."

"Learning the Shadowless Step is equivalent to possessing the ability to teleport instantly in battle. The opponent won't be able to grasp your position. As long as you master this technique, it won't matter if the opponent's Star Power is higher."

Having found the trick, Lin Zhen immediately immersed himself in the next stage of cultivation with hunger and thirst.

He familiarized himself with the steps and sought the mystery of the second pattern.

The second pattern was much more difficult than the first, with many times more changes in the three footprints. Based on the foundation of the first step, Lin Zhen started an endless process of comprehension and trial.

Fortunately, the arena was a virtual space; if it were the real world, Lin Zhen might have trampled the ground with traces in just one day.

It took Lin Zhen quite a long time to comprehend the second pattern, even with his qualifications, it took half a month.

It may seem fast for him, but if it were someone who wasn't proficient in space-time, passing even a single pattern in half a century would be unthinkable.

During this half month, many Martial Artists had already attempted to challenge the Thirty-Three-Tier Tower.

The Thirty-Three-Tier Tower was the standard measurement of a martial artist's strength in the Holy Land, not only in Falling Star Lake, but also in the other three Great Sacred Lands.

However, the performance of the new students was somewhat disappointing.

Huang Class successful students, zero!

Hong Class successful students, zero!

Universe Class successful students, zero! Earth Class successful students, one!

Yellow Class successful students, zero! Xuan Class successful students, one!

Heaven Class successful students, two!

Heaven Class successful students, seven!

Almost two months after entering the Holy Land, only a few, exactly ten people, had successfully passed the first tier.

So far, Heaven Class's Mitchell hasn't challenged anyone yet. If he does, there will only be eleven of them.

On Star-Picking Island, above the students' residences, there was a magnificent castle.

Inside the castle, Jin Nuo was sitting on a chair, communicating with others in the Dimensional Universe.

It was a group chat, but the number of people was small, only four, including Jin Nuo.

Jin Nuo's username in this group was Falling Star Lake's Fifth Young Master Jin Nuo.

And the other three users were called: Freedom City's Seventh Young Master Zhang Lang, Twin Trees Garden's Fourth Miss Fang Fei, and Locking God Platform's Sixth Young Master Feng Dao.

Like Jin Nuo, the other three were also residents of the Four Great Sacred Lands.

They wouldn't allow anyone else to join, and those who wanted to join didn't qualify.

In the group chat, Freedom City's Seventh Young Master Zhang Lang spoke first.

"What a boring life. I've been in this group for almost five million years, and all I see are your old faces. There's no excitement in my days."

Locking God Platform's Feng Dao replied, "What do you think would be exciting? Want to abandon the Holy Land of Freedom City and go to the battlefield of the Endless Star Sea?"

"Don't talk about it. I really hope that it happens. Every day I look forward to our Freedom City's new batch of students. I hope they can become the next successors. At that time, I, as the old Seventh, will be liberated."

A video of a purple-clothed beauty appeared.

"Zhang Lang, you have seven disciples in Freedom City. You've only been here for five million years and already ceaselessly complain. So what about us?"

"Fang Fei, you came even later than me."

"Even though I came later, Twin Trees Garden only has four people. My Third Senior Brother has been here for more than 100 million years."

The woman called Fang Fei said, then continued, "But I think there's hope this time. We have a Heaven Class Three Flowers Warrior here, who has now passed two stages in the Thirty-Three Sky Tower. I see that there's hope she can replace me so that my mission will be complete."

Zhang Lang sneered, "Don't be too optimistic. I've seen too many people who've performed well at first but later fell behind. It's impossible to become a close disciple without great willpower and talent."

Feng Dao asked, "Who among us do you think will liberate themselves first?"

Zhang Lang replied immediately, "Not Jin Nuo, at least not for the time being. There's no hope for their Falling Star Lake for the time being. It's clear how bad their overall quality is since even a World King made it to their Earth Class."

Feng Dao and Fang Fei slowly nodded in agreement with Zhang Lang's words.

At this time, Jin Nuo finally spoke.

"Maybe not. We have some good seedlings among our new students this time. Mitchell, the fallen angel, has great potential. I think he might be able to set up a monument in Heaven Class."

"Jin Nuo, don't be stubborn. We all have some talents this time at the Sacred Lands. Setting up a monument might be rare in previous years, but not this time."

"Yes, although we can't guarantee that anyone will become a close disciple, our students from Locking God Platform have the greatest potential."

"You guys from Falling Star Lake are influenced by the Qin Kingdom. It's inevitable that miscellaneous people will mix in, thus your overall quality is low. The fact that a World King can advance is a clear example."

The residents of the other three Holy Lands ridiculed Jin Nuo mercilessly.

This group has existed for countless years. Each generation of Holy Land residents automatically joined the group and left it when they were no longer residents.

Although the Four Great Sacred Lands all opposed the forces from the Endless Star Sea, the competition between them was obvious.

Falling Star Lake was indeed slightly weaker among the Four Great Sacred Lands. Most of the big figures in the Original World were concentrated in the Qin Kingdom, so when they recommended people, they mostly sent them to Falling Star Lake. When a place had too many recommended people, the overall quality would decline, which was an indisputable fact.

For example, the Star River Giant Beast Alliance recommended dozens of quotas to the Falling Star Lake Holy Land, inevitably allowing some less powerful warriors to enter and thus lowering the overall strength.

Lin Zhen's entry into Falling Star Lake as a World King made the residents of other Holy Lands ridicule them, thinking their overall strength was too weak.

"Don't underestimate Lin Zhen. The fact that he could emerge victorious among the Three Flowers and Longevity Warriors while at the World King Realm shows his excellence. I have high expectations for him."

"Oh ho ho! Jin Nuo, you really are stubborn. So, how many levels of the Thirty-Three Sky Tower has your genius World King passed so far?"

Zhang Lang was not hesitant to fight back against Jin Nuo. Among the Four Great Sacred Lands, Falling Star Lake and Freedom City were close, while the other two Holy Lands were billions of light-years away, so their conflicts were not as deep.

"Lin Zhen hasn't challenged it yet, but I think it'll be soon. I see him comprehending the Shadowless Step, and if he can achieve something, it will help him a lot in challenging the Thirty-Three Sky Tower."

"Haha! He hasn't challenged it yet? Is he too scared? Is the Shadowless Step so easy to comprehend? I still haven't been able to successfully comprehend the eighth painting, so he shouldn't have high hopes."

Jin Nuo smiled, "I believe he can do it, and pass three or four levels within one year."

"Alright then, since you insist, are you willing to play a game with me?"

"How do you want to play? What's the bet?" Jin Nuo immediately faced off with Zhang Lang.

"In ten months, it will be the annual disciples' promotion and demotion. If by that day, Lin Zhen can pass three levels in the Thirty-Three Sky Bridge, I will give him a chance to comprehend our Freedom City's monument in the Dimensional Universe. If he fails, I will also choose someone to comprehend your Falling Star Lake's monument in the Dimensional Universe. What do you think, Jin Nuo? Do you dare to accept?"

Chapter 773: Chapter 776: What is so heavy?

Zhang Lang's bet was not easy to achieve: reaching the third level of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower within a year. Those who could accomplish such a feat would generally be qualified to erect a monument in the Late Stage.

If Lin Zhen were a Three Flowers Warrior or even a Longevity Warrior, Zhang Lang would not have made this request.

He wasn't just shooting in the dark; he had watched Lin Zhen's battle videos.

In his opinion, Lin Zhen was able to enter the Holy Land thanks to three ultimate moves.

One was the Destructive God Thunder used to defeat Heigu. However, Zhang Lang had a sharp eye and noticed that the Destructive God Thunder needed a long time to incubate. Since Lin Zhen had just used it, it would be impossible for him to cultivate it again within a year.

The second was the Divine Power Pills, which were applicable in real battles. However, the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower's guardians were created in a virtual environment where one had to rely on their own strength. Consuming pills was forbidden inside the tower, so this move could not be used either.

The last one was the transformation of the Black Hole Beast. Although this move was extremely powerful, the guardians within the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower would not allow Lin Zhen the opportunity to use it. In other words, he couldn't use his ultimate moves, they might as well not exist.

Without these three ultimate moves, Lin Zhen was just a slightly stronger World King, at most equal to a Longevity Warrior. How could he possibly clear the third level of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower?

So, in his opinion, he was bound to win this bet.

After hearing Zhang Lang's words, Jin Nuo pondered for a moment: "How exactly would Lin Zhen gain insight into the monument stones in Freedom City?"

"It's simple. I can place several monument stones together without revealing their names, and let him choose one on his own. The quality of his choice is not my concern. If he chooses a poor one, it's because he has poor vision. If he chooses a good one, it means he's lucky."

"This is too vague. How long will it take for him to gain insight?"

"Heh heh, you're really careful. Let's be more specific. Everyone knows that the Holy Lands don't share martial arts techniques with one another. If one can learn martial arts from other Holy Lands, their strength will greatly increase. If Lin Zhen clears the third level, I will give him five monument stones to study, with four being Xuan Class and one being Earth Class. The time allowed for insight… let's say ten days."

Jin Nuo asked: "What if Lin Zhen clears the fourth level?"

"Ha ha, you really dare to think big. If he can clear the fourth level, there will still be five monument stones, four Earth Class and one Heaven Class, and the insight time will be twenty days."

"What about the fifth level?"

"Then all of them will be Heaven Class, including one Heaven Class Special Grade. How about that? But Jin Nuo, let's be clear, if Lin Zhen fails, you must at least let me have one Earth Class monument."

Jin Nuo nodded slightly, thinking that the bet was worth trying.

No matter what Zhang Lang thought, in Jin Nuo's opinion, Lin Zhen had potential since he had been entrusted with special care by their master. If he couldn't even pass the third level of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, there was no way their master would have given such instructions.

"I think it's feasible. Let's settle on this." Jin Nuo agreed instantly.

"Ha ha ha! Good! Fang Fei and Feng Dao, you two bear witness, and let's have a gentleman's agreement!"

And so, the bet between the two was settled.

They then engaged in some casual chatting. For example, Feng Dao mentioned that Heigu from the Locking God Platform had been killed by Lin Zhen. However, Heigu had already left the Sacred Place of the God-locking Platform and wanted to sneak into Falling Star Lake to steal martial arts techniques, so his death was his own fault.

For instance, Fang Fei mentioned that a very talented newcomer had come to the Twin Trees Garden this year. She was a girl from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance with an exceptionally high Talent, whom Fang Fei decided to focus on cultivating.

What Jin Nuo had in mind was when Lin Zhen would attempt the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. If he failed the first time, how should he encourage him?

Perhaps he should give Lin Zhen some special treatment.

"Senior Brother Huang, come, sit! This is Rosy Clouds Tea I brought from the New World. At the time, on our planet, only a couple of ounces were produced every decade. When I left, I took all the remaining that were produced."

The tea leaves brewed in the teacup, with layers of red clouds covering the rim of the cup, emitting an intoxicating and miraculous aroma.

Huang Zun took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.

"There are indeed no lack of wonders in the vast realms. It's not easy for a place like the New World to produce such a treasure."

"I'm glad Senior Brother Huang likes it. I have two more pounds here, and I will give them all to you later." Huang showed his stock and gave it to Huang Zun.

"There's no need for that. In fact, since you entered the Holy Land earlier than I did, I should be the one calling you 'Senior Brother'." Although Huang Zun said this, he didn't hesitate to accept the tea leaves.

Huang laughed drily, his throat producing a metallic clanking sound: "That's not how it works here. In the Holy Land, those with higher ranks are considered seniors, and Senior Brother Huang is an Earth Class student, whereas I'm only Xuan Class. It's only right for me to call you 'Senior Brother'."

"Well, then I shall accept it."

After Huang Zun had accepted the tea leaves, Huang whispered: "I have a favor to ask, I hope Senior Brother Huang can help."

"What is it?"

"I had some conflicts with Lin Zhen in the Earth Class when we were in the New World. But now he is in the Earth Class, and I have no way to deal with him. If Senior Brother Huang can help me demote him, I will be eternally grateful."

"I cannot help with this matter. Promotion and demotion depend on individual strength. How can I decide that?"

"Senior Brother Huang, it's not that difficult. Lin Zhen is currently learning from the monument stones and he hasn't even passed the first level of the heaven tower, as such, he should be ranked last in the Earth Class. You just need to find a few people to interrupt him once in a while during his learning process to push him further back. This way, he won't have any breakthroughs and will remain stagnant. After a year, if he is still ranked last in the Earth Class, he will be demoted to the Xuan Class, and then I can deal with him personally."

Huang Zun had originally found Lin Zhen displeasing to the eye, but since Lin Zhen had been low-key, he hadn't deliberately made things difficult for him. Now that Huang had offered him a gift, Huang Zun was more than willing to trouble Lin Zhen a bit.

Mechanically, Huang Zun was sent away, his eyes full of hatred for Lin Zhen.

Now Lin Zhen has become his heart demon, the enemy who killed his son is close at hand, and he has no intention of cultivating anymore. No matter what price he has to pay, he wants to kill Lin Zhen!

"Whew! The third diagram is really a bit difficult – the footprints have increased from three to ten, and the changes in the Shadowless Step have increased by at least a million times. Each step requires millions of calculations for the grasp of timing, momentum, and power."

"There's also the sequence; each step can move forward or backward, with countless variations. But it's precisely because of this that the Shadowless Step is so elusive."

Half a month had passed, and Lin Zhen couldn't care less about the Tower Challenge in the outside world. His goal was to comprehend the third stage of the Shadowless Step and then go to the 33 Heavens Tower.

However, the third stage had too many variations, and Lin Zhen had only grasped a third of it in half a month.

"In another month, I might have a chance to comprehend the third diagram."

"And by that time, when I go to the 33 Heavens Tower, relying on my steps and my divine pearl, I will definitely be able to make a difference."

Lin Zhen secretly cheered himself up and was about to start a new round of comprehension when a figure appeared.

"I want to comprehend the stele of the Shadowless Step, you go to the back."

Lin Zhen looked up and saw that the man was called Li Kai, who had a very close relationship with Huang Zun.

Lin Zhen frowned slightly. There had been no one else for the Shadowless Step, and he had been practicing smoothly here. If he moved back a spot, it would definitely have a significant impact on his comprehension.

Although he didn't want to move, he had to follow the rules of the Holy Land; since his rank was lower, he had to give way to others.

"Fine, you go ahead with your comprehension. I'll take a break."

Lin Zhen got up, intending to move around a bit.

Just as he stood up and walked a few steps, Li Kai also got up and turned to leave.

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment as he watched Li Kai walk away, before returning here to practice.

But after only about ten minutes of practice and just as he started to get a feel for it, Li Kai came back and said to Lin Zhen, "Move, I want to comprehend."

Lin Zhen helplessly got up again, but Li Kai was just humming a tune idly in a carefree manner.

Lin Zhen didn't say anything, turned around and walked away, then returned after a while to see Li Kai had left.

Back in front of the Shadowless Step stele, Lin Zhen sat down again.

About ten minutes later, Li Kai came back and said to Lin Zhen, "Go to the back, I'm going to comprehend here. Don't you know how to respect the strong ones with your lower ranking?"

He sneered at Lin Zhen, "What, you don't agree? You have to bear with it even if you don't agree. My ranking is higher than yours, and you have no room to resist!"

Lin Zhen smiled, "Fine, if you want to sit here, then sit."

With that, Lin Zhen sat in the position behind Li Kai and, with a thought, a crystal-clear and brilliant bead appeared in his palm.

His spiritual power fluctuated, and the bead shimmered with rings of light, looking incredibly beautiful.

Li Kai sat in front of Lin Zhen, and his purpose here was to annoy Lin Zhen. As for the Shadowless Step, he couldn't comprehend it at all. He couldn't even fully comprehend the Gale Step, let alone the Shadowless Step.

If Lin Zhen cared, his actions would have meaning. But now that Lin Zhen didn't seem to care, he felt uncomfortable sitting here.

According to the plan with Huang Zun, they wanted to provoke Lin Zhen to take action; attacking classmates in the Holy Land would result in imprisonment, and the Fifth Young Master would definitely not tolerate Lin Zhen.

He would be imprisoned for ten or eight years, and his rankings would probably drop straight down to the Huang Class. When that time came, it would be hard for him to rise again from the Huang Class and his journey through the Holy Land would be wasted.

But Lin Zhen just didn't care and continued playing with the bead. This change was beyond Li Kai and the others' plans.

"Hey, what's that thing you're holding? Let me see!" Li Kai straightforwardly asked Lin Zhen, determined to not let him have an easy time.

"This thing is very valuable, you can't see it."

"Do you know what respecting rank order is? My ranking is ahead of yours, so if you want to have a good time in the Earth Class, be sensible."

Lin Zhen seemed helpless: "Alright, well, if you insist, I'll let you look for a while."

With that, Lin Zhen wrapped the bead in his spiritual power and brought it to Li Kai.

Li Kai reached out to receive it, and Lin Zhen withdrew his spiritual power.

As soon as the bead reached Li Kai's hand, an unimaginable weight pressed down!

"Ah! What is so heavy?"

Li Kai, a Three Flowers Warrior, couldn't bear the weight of the bead at all. The entire person, holding the bead, was directly pressed down into the ground!

Boom~!

A human-shaped pit appeared on the ground, and Li Kai disappeared!

Chapter 774: Chapter 777: Taking Action

Watching the figure disappear, Lin Zhen snorted coldly and sat down again in front of the stele.

The one who left was Huang Zun's subordinate, and it was definitely Huang Zun's idea. However, Lin Zhen didn't yet know whether Huang Zun was acting on someone else's behalf, but knowing or not knowing wasn't that important.

In this Holy Land, both Qian Tong and the mechanical man could potentially plot against him. Whether or not they carried out this plot, Lin Zhen would not let them off easily.

As for Huang Zun, Lin Zhen intended to teach him a lesson sooner or later.

The bead that directly pressed Li Kai into the ground was Lin Zhen's Neutron Divine Pearl.

This small bead was formed when Lin Zhen devoured Qian Tong's mountainous planets. After being disassembled and reassembled by the Black Hole, it turned into a dazzling pearl, like a round diamond.

However, Lin Zhen knew that this tiny bead had an enormous power!

It was created from the compression of a massive planet, and its mass was ten times that of Earth!

This meant that if Lin Zhen used this bead to strike Earth, it would shatter the planet in a single blow!

Even without striking, if Lin Zhen simply placed the bead on Earth without controlling it, the force of the bead would instantly cause the planet to deviate from its orbit!

Let alone the Earth, even a constant star like the Sun could be pierced through by the bead in one blow, resulting in its death!

After absorbing the bead, Lin Zhen had been nurturing it in his inner world, causing his spiritual power and the bead to resonate and merge. After blending with Lin Zhen's spiritual power, the bead had no weight for him. However, when he retracted his spiritual power, it would become a planet for others.

It was because of the spatial stability and strong earthiness of the Holy Land, which was much stronger than any planet in the New World, that the Divine Pearl did not create any commotion. Otherwise, just pressing down would have shattered the ground!

Li Kai wouldn't die that easily. He was at the Three Flowers Stage and must have had many life-saving methods, but escaping the pressure of the bead was not easy.

At least, under the condition that Lin Zhen didn't release him, he wouldn't be able to get out with his own power.

Because the Shadowless Step stele was far away from the other steles, the commotion here went unnoticed. Lin Zhen thought about it and summoned the earth element with a flick of his spiritual power. The soil at his position began to condense and formed a human figure.

He draped his coat over the soil figure, making it look like himself, then sat on the edge of the large pit and returned to his previous position.

Having changed into clothes similar to Li Kai's, Lin Zhen looked down into the deep pit.

The pit was several tens of meters deep, and Li Kai's body was filled with star power, flickering with various lights. The Three Flowers were blooming, desperately resisting the pressure of the bead.

Those lights were his ultimate life-saving measures, and he had to use them all in order to survive.

If he couldn't resist, the bead would press down and he would undoubtedly die in the end.

Unfortunately, years of accumulation and treasures were all used to resist the bead now. Seeing Lin Zhen's gaze looking down, Li Kai's eyes showed a hint of pleading.

He couldn't say a word now, as doing so would deflate him, which meant death.

Lin Zhen sneered, "Oh, you're having so much fun playing in the hole with my bead. I won't disturb you, Senior Brother Li Kai. Just have a good time here."

Having said that, Lin Zhen no longer paid attention to Li Kai. Being at the Three Flowers Realm, he estimated he could last a month or so without any problems, so Lin Zhen decided to focus on his own cultivation.

Li Kai felt an urge to vomit blood, but he couldn't speak or move at all. The unparalleled weight pressing on him could turn him into a pile of flesh at any moment.

He didn't know where Lin Zhen got such a thing, as one tiny bead could actually crush a Three Flowers Warrior to death!

Continuously releasing star power, Li Kai hoped that Huang Zun would notice the situation and come to save him, but he didn't know that Lin Zhen had already set up a fake figure there.

About an hour after Lin Zhen began his cultivation, Huang Zun looked this way as he stopped his own cultivation.

From a distance, Li Kai was in the front, and Lin Zhen was behind him, both cultivating in front of the Shadowless Step stele.

Huang Zun revealed a satisfied smile. Li Kai was quite reliable to have started competing with Lin Zhen. What he had been most worried about was that Lin Zhen would choose to continue cultivating in second place, effectively trapping Li Kai.

Not expecting Li Kai to have no complaints, Huang Zun felt relieved.

"After cultivating in the first position for a long time, the second position is almost unbearable. Lin Zhen, let's see how long you can hold on! There will come a day when you'll beg me!"

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

For Lin Zhen, this month of cultivation was extremely precious.

Being able to comprehend the third picture of the Shadowless Step without disturbances was an important milestone for his strength to progress.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!"

A series of footprints appeared on the yellow sand.

Ten steps in total, from start to finish.

In the single-person training arena of the Dimensional Competition, Lin Zhen's figure was like a ghost.

From a distance, the series of figures flickered in place, forming a hazy blur, making it impossible to discern.

"Invisibility, this is the basic secret of invisibility. When I use the Shadowless Step in a fight, even the light cannot capture my shadow. The first picture is about unpredictable strikes; the second one is about swift movement and agility; and the third one is the one that can truly be used in actual combat."

"This kind of footwork is immensely helpful in fights. As long as the gap between my power and my opponent's is not too large, this set of footwork can almost instantly kill them."

Lin Zhen repeatedly practiced the Shadowless Step in the arena, thoroughly mastering this set of footwork.

There are 30 footprints in the fourth image of the Shadowless Step, but Lin Zhen had not yet tried to comprehend it.

The first three images can be considered as basic footwork, called Entry, Minor Achievement, and Major Achievement, respectively.

What Lin Zhen had learned was the Major Achievement of basic footwork.

If one had to relate it to a realm, the basic footwork would be what Three Flowers Warriors should cultivate. Lin Zhen's own strength was just too strong, and he had an understanding of both time and space, and the wind element, allowing him to learn the Major Achievement of basic footwork at the World King Realm.

After becoming familiar with the footwork, Lin Zhen practiced sword skills and spear skills for a while.

"Whew! It feels almost there, but real practice still needs to be applied to actual combat. Without fighting, it's ultimately impossible to truly integrate everything."

Lin Zhen originally planned to go to the Dimensional Arena to fight a few matches, but he heard some footsteps afterward.

Exiting from the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen looked towards the direction of the hillside.

There were three people coming up the hillside.

One of them was Huang Zun, another was an Earth Class Warrior who was close to Huang Zun and came with Lin Zhen.

The last one was the chubby warrior whom Lin Zhen had seen when he first arrived at the Earth Class.

It was unclear how this person ended up with Huang Zun and the others.

Seeing the arrival of a few people, Lin Zhen slowly stood up and looked down at the pit. Li Kai was still barely alive and persevering.

However, it was almost the end for him. If Lin Zhen didn't remove the marble from him, this Three Flowers Warrior wouldn't be able to hold on for another three days.

"Senior Brother Huang, what brings you here?" Lin Zhen asked indifferently.

"Get out of the way!"

Huang Zun's expression changed when he saw Lin Zhen, who should have been Li Kai, standing up. He ignored Lin Zhen and walked straight to another clay figure.

He went over and pushed it down, causing the clay figure to collapse.

Huang Zun's face changed instantly, he turned his head towards Lin Zhen and shouted angrily: "Lin Zhen! Where is Li Kai?"

Lin Zhen shrugged slightly: "Why are you asking me for Li Kai? He's a grown man with hands and feet. Does he need someone to watch over him?"

"Enough with the nonsense! Li Kai came to find you, but I couldn't contact him in the Dimensional Universe, so I came looking for you. Now tell me, what did you do to Li Kai?"

Lin Zhen snorted coldly: "You're making a fuss out of nothing. Do I have to watch over him if he comes to find me? If you want someone, go find him yourself."

Huang Zun gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Zhen, you'd better know your place. In the Holy Land, killing fellow disciples can lead to execution or imprisonment. Senior Brother Ma is here today to ensure justice if you refuse to admit your guilt."

"Oh! So, how will Senior Brother Ma ensure justice?" Lin Zhen looked at the chubby warrior.

The chubby warrior said with a stern face: "Lin Zhen, you'd better explain where Li Kai went. Otherwise, we'll take you down and bring you to Fifth Senior Brother for questioning."

"Why should I?"

"Why? Just because our rankings are higher than yours, Lin Zhen. This is the way of the Holy Land – ranking determines status. We now suspect that you've imprisoned Li Kai. Unless you allow us to inspect your inner world, your suspicion cannot be cleared!"

Huang Zun's words turned Lin Zhen's expression cold. If a martial artist opened their inner world, it was almost like giving their secrets and even their life and death to the other party.

"So if I don't hand over Li Kai today, you guys are going to make a move?"

At this point, the warrior behind Huang Zun stepped forward and said, "No, not us, but me. Senior Brother Huang and Senior Brother Ma are extraordinary people, dealing with someone like you is simply beneath them. Killing a chicken doesn't require a butcher's knife; I alone am enough."

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on this warrior.

This warrior was a new student, and his ranking in the Earth Class was only slightly higher than Lin Zhen's. He had challenged the Thirty-three Heavens Tower once before but failed.

Although he failed, as long as he had challenged the tower, his ranking would be higher than Lin Zhen's.

"You…?" Lin Zhen sneered coldly, "You're nothing but a fart!"

"How dare you! Lin Zhen, what did you say? If you have the guts, say it again!" The warrior was furious, and his Star Power surged, ready to attack Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, striking first to gain the upper hand, and threw a punch right in front of Huang Zun and Senior Brother Ma!

The warrior snorted coldly and drew his sword, stabbing at Lin Zhen.

As expected of the Three Flowers Realm, a sword was drawn with thousands of radiant lights.

Lin Zhen just took a small step forward, and his body mysteriously appeared beside the warrior, causing all his sword lights to miss the target.

The fist continued to smash forward without stopping, hitting the warrior directly on the temple.

The warrior groaned, his mind went blank, and he was knocked down to the ground stiffly.

Lin Zhen shook his hand, looked at Huang Zun and the others, and slowly said, "I said… you're nothing but a fart!"

Chapter 775: Chapter 778: Before the Tower Gate

"Lin Zhen! You have quite the nerve!"

Huang Zun roared, his hand on his sword hilt, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.

In Lin Zhen's eyes, however, this was nothing more than a bluff.

As soon as an expert makes a move, they can tell whether or not it is effective. Lin Zhen's earlier step had contained endless subtle changes, causing Huang Zun and Martial Brother Ma to change their expressions slightly.

Had this kid actually gained some insight into the Shadowless Step in just over a month here?

They wanted to make a move, but they didn't have the confidence to win, and they were caught in a dilemma.

Martial Brother Ma blinked twice: "Lin Zhen! Don't be arrogant. You've killed a fellow disciple and beaten others. You won't escape punishment today."

Lin Zhen snorted coldly: "I've recorded everything in the Dimensional Universe, so it's not something you can twist with a few words."

"If you say you didn't kill anyone, then where's Li Kai? Hand him over! Did you imprison him in your inner world? That's also forbidden." Huang Zun saw people gathering around and immediately shouted.

"For such a guy, do I even need to imprison him? He's been happily digging holes and playing with balls underground."

As he said this, Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a beam of light shot up from the ground into his palm, looking like a bead.

Huang Zun and the others finally noticed that there was a deep pit on the other side of Lin Zhen.

When the bead was taken out, the mountain that had been pressing down on Li Kai was finally lifted.

Sun Wukong had been trapped under a mountain for 500 years, but he hadn't suffered as much as Li Kai had during this one month.

While Sun Wukong could still lie down when trapped, Li Kai was facing upwards; if he let his strength wane slightly, he would be crushed to death. No one could understand this kind of pain.

When fresh oxygen rushed into his abdomen, Li Kai, who had been unconscious, woke up.

The first thing he felt was anger, and his first thought was to seek revenge!

This low-ranked Lin Zhen had actually trapped him underground for a month, nearly suffocating him to death. This grudge must be avenged!

As a Three Flowers Warrior, he naturally sensed that someone had come to the pit and immediately thought that he couldn't keep lying there in humiliation; he had to get out!

With the feeling of oppression turned into a long howl, Li Kai leapt out of the deep pit!

Huang Zun was just talking about Lin Zhen possibly having imprisoned Li Kai when he saw Li Kai turning into a ray of light shooting out of the deep pit.

"Lin Zhen, vile scoundrel! Give me your life!"

Upon leaving the pit, Li Kai saw Huang Zun and the others, his courage redoubled, and he attacked Lin Zhen without restraint.

A sword light slashed down, and Lin Zhen stepped out with the Shadowless Step, in a three-step combo!

Swish, swish, swish~~~!!!

A figure flickered, Lin Zhen's palm emitted Sword Gang, and he swiped a sword, cutting off Li Kai's arm in the process.

Li Kai screamed in pain as he landed. In that instant, he hadn't been able to detect where Lin Zhen was, not even knowing how he'd been hit, and he'd suffered a crushing defeat.

"You all saw it, right? He attacked me as soon as he came out, and I was just defending myself."

Lin Zhen's lips curved in a smile, but it sent chills down the spines of Huang Zun and Martial Brother Ma.

In one move, he defeated his opponent and cut off Li Kai's arm by continuously moving several steps. Lin Zhen had indeed comprehended the Shadowless Step and seemed to have completed two out of the three stages!

The Shadowless Step was a practical combat technique; having learned it, Lin Zhen had become extremely dangerous.

Martial Brother Ma's face changed, and he said to Huang Zun, "I think there's something fishy about this. I won't get involved in your dispute. If Fifth Senior Brother asks, I'll tell the truth."

Having said that, Martial Brother Ma turned around and left, deciding not to get involved in this mess.

But Huang Zun couldn't leave. He helped his two companions up and glared at Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, this matter is not over. I'll report you to Fifth Senior Brother!"

"Whatever. I believe Fifth Senior Brother is wise and cannot be deceived by your tricks. As for Li Kai, he was eager to see my treasure and burrowed underground with it. About your claim that I am low-ranked… that will change soon."

Lin Zhen ignored these few annoying clowns; he couldn't go on killing here in the Holy Land. Cutting off an opponent's hand was more than enough.

Turning around, Lin Zhen left the location of the Earth Class, followed by a group of whispering students.

Following the mountain path down, Lin Zhen went to the highest peak of Star-Picking Island.

That was where the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower was located.

Huang Zun took the two injured people to Jin Nuo's villa to lodge a complaint.

"Fifth Senior Brother, Lin Zhen has no respect for ranks and beats up his classmates. Please stand up for us."

The three of them lined up kneeling in front of the villa's entrance, waiting for Jin Nuo to receive them.

After a long while, Jin Nuo's voice finally responded.

"It's not an honorable thing for someone in a higher position to be injured by those in a lower position. The fact that you're even here to complain is truly disappointing."

Huang Zun and the others didn't expect Jin Nuo to have this attitude, and they were at a loss for words.

"Enough, it's still somewhat inappropriate for Lin Zhen to injure others. You may leave now. I will naturally give him some punishment."

"Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother, for making the decision!" Huang Zun and the others were overjoyed. If they could really punish Lin Zhen, their efforts would not have been in vain.

After they left, Jin Nuo opened his eyes in the villa, his vision passing through space and directly reaching the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.

At this moment, Lin Zhen had just arrived at the tower. Jin Nuo raised his foot, a rainbow Golden Bridge appeared underfoot, and he stepped directly in front of Lin Zhen.

The Thirty-Three Heavens Tower was located at the top of the Absolute Peak. Lin Zhen followed the mountain road upwards, taking light steps, each step covering hundreds of meters, and it took him quite a while to reach the peak.

Passing through the cloud layer, by the time he was at the peak, he was already deep within the starry river.

Not far away, a meteor slowly fell down, casting itself into the profound and vast Falling Star Lake. Before it reached the lake's surface, it was engulfed by an unbelievably huge wave.

The golden tower seemed unattainable, and looking up from below, one felt like a tiny ant.

Legend has it that in the Four Great Sacred Lands' Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, even deities cannot fly directly to the top. Instead, they must walk step by step.

What kind of realm must one be in to reach the top of the tower?

Standing in front of the ancient tower, Lin Zhen found himself unable to move for a long time.

He was originally planning to challenge the tower, but at this moment, he felt as if he had merged with it. The tower seemed to contain everything, encompassing the whole world within.

Looking up from here, the tower's tip was visible, but Lin Zhen felt that it was not the end. Though the tower was right before his eyes, it seemed somewhat blurry to him.

The temperature around him was a bit cold, as Star-Picking Island was above Falling Star Lake. The rising water vapor made Lin Zhen's clothes gradually damp.

However, he didn't notice it, and kept staring at the tower until someone next to him spoke.

"What do you see?" A voice spoke into his ear.

"I feel like the tower…is a bit unclear." Lin Zhen instinctively replied, then suddenly snapped out of the feeling. He turned his head to see Jin Nuo standing behind him, not knowing when he had arrived.

Seeing Jin Nuo suddenly appear, Lin Zhen slightly bowed: "I greet my Fifth Senior Brother. When did you arrive?"

Jin Nuo didn't answer but stared at Lin Zhen for a long time before speaking, "Do you feel like you can't see the tower clearly?"

Lin Zhen raised his head again; the towering tower seemed so huge that he didn't know why he had felt unclear just a moment before.

"I indeed felt that way just now, but not anymore," Lin Zhen replied honestly.

Jin Nuo was silent for a while and then asked, "Are you confident in challenging the tower?"

After a slight hesitation, Lin Zhen said, "I haven't tried it before, so I don't know."

"Do you know the rules of passing the tower?"

"Isn't it just fighting your way through?"

"It's not that simple."

Jin Nuo shook his head slightly, walked a few steps on Star-Picking Island, looked around, and suddenly raised his hand. A green light enveloped both of them.

"Fifth Senior Brother?" Lin Zhen didn't know what Jin Nuo meant.

Jin Nuo said solemnly, "Lin Zhen, remember what I'm about to tell you. It's very important."

"Please speak, Fifth Senior Brother," Lin Zhen's expression became serious, realizing that if Jin Nuo spoke like this, something major must be happening.

At the same time, he felt a strange excitement in his heart. Jin Nuo, as a Holy Land Resident, held a prestigious status. Almost no one could surpass him on the Original World's surface. What did he want to say to Lin Zhen?

"Lin Zhen, our Holy Land has been passed down since the birth of the Original World, and its foundation is this Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. It is said that the tower is the ultimate measure of a martial artist's strength, encompassing all creatures and natural elements in the universe."

"As martial artists, the strengths and weaknesses of all can be reflected in the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. Remember that I said all – including all races on the surface of the Original World, all races within the Endless Star Sea, all hidden experts, myself, and even our teacher."

"Could it be that even the master of Falling Star Lake has never fully conquered the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower?" Lin Zhen was extremely shocked. The masters of the Four Great Sacred Lands, who were in his eyes, absolutely belonged to the top echelon standing at the pinnacle of the universe. They couldn't fully conquer the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower?

Jin Nuo didn't answer Lin Zhen's question but instead told him, "I will tell you the situation regarding the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. Remember it well."

Lin Zhen immediately stopped asking questions and listened attentively.

"Before I begin, let me tell you something. When I first came to the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, I felt the same way as you, as if I couldn't see it clearly."

Lin Zhen was startled. What was Jin Nuo trying to say?

"Not just me, but also the previous Holy Land Resident and my Fourth Senior Brother, experienced the same feeling."

Lin Zhen's pupils instantly dilated, as if he had realized something.

Seeing Lin Zhen's expression, Jin Nuo knew he had understood and smiled, "You're right. According to my Fourth Senior Brother, my Third Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and First Senior Brother all experienced the same feeling when they first saw this tower. Even…even our teacher was the same."

Lin Zhen took a deep breath. At this moment, it seemed as if a path leading to the sky was unfolding before him. The dream of reaching the peak in this life seemed to have found direction.

Chapter 776: Chapter 779: Assistance and Punishment

Within the blue light, all prying eyes were blocked, and Jin Nuo was talking to Lin Zhen.

"In the Thirty-Three Sky Tower, the difficulty increases greatly as you advance one floor at a time, and the guardians of each floor will become more powerful."

"To be more specific, every six floors are actually one cycle. Let's take the first six floors as an example. The opponents you will face are: Spiritual Mind Master, Domain Warrior, Star River Behemoth, Elemental War God, Super Swordsman, and Heavenly Lord."

Lin Zhen seemed puzzled when he heard this: "I can roughly understand the meaning of the first five, but what is Heavenly Lord?"

"Heavenly Lord is actually a combination of the first five people."

"Each Heavenly Lord is a powerful Star River Behemoth, as well as a powerful Spiritual Mind Master. They also have a deep understanding of domain and elemental powers, and their close combat with weapons is unparalleled, so it can be said that they have almost no weaknesses."

"Therefore, the most difficult part of the Thirty-Three Sky Tower is the Heavenly Lord, and every six floors are a cycle. For example, the first six floors will have opponents in the Three Flowers Realm. From the Early Stage Spiritual Mind Master to the Peak Heavenly Lord, each one is more difficult than the last. Once you reach the seventh floor, your opponents will be beyond the Three Flowers Realm."

Lin Zhen felt a bit heavy-hearted, no wonder the Thirty-Three Sky Tower was not easy to conquer, these opponents were too strong.

The first floor begins with the Three Flowers Realm. It's not so bad for the Heaven and Earth Class students, but for the Huang and Hong Class ones, passing even a single level would be incredibly difficult.

Although Lin Zhen's strength was good, his realm was still a bit low, and he didn't know how far he could go here.

"Lin Zhen, I will set you a goal now. Within one year, I require you to break through the first five floors of the Thirty-Three Sky Tower, defeating all the opponents before the first Heavenly Lord. Can you do it?"

Lin Zhen nodded slightly: "I will definitely do it."

"Good, I like being decisive. This is just the first goal. The second goal is for you to break through twelve floors within ten years, and within a hundred years, you must break through twenty levels!"

"Are there any benefits to breaking through twenty levels?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Hehe! A martial artist who can break through twenty levels within a hundred years can continue to study in the Holy Land and erect a stele that belongs to them. If you can't achieve this within a hundred years, you must leave the Holy Land. If you can't even do this, then…you should understand what I mean."

Lin Zhen remained silent, indeed it would be extremely difficult to achieve this within a hundred years!

If he was now at the Seventh-Level of Longevity instead of the Seventh-Level World King, he might have a chance to try.

It seemed that Jin Nuo had also noticed Lin Zhen's thoughts: "Lin Zhen, I have checked your previous information, and I remember that you used to have an avatar."

"Yes, I used to have several avatars, but not anymore, I haven't found a suitable body."

Jin Nuo pondered for a moment: "Studying the steles and practicing are conflicting. If you can study while you practice, it will be much more effective. I suggest you acquire an avatar, using the avatar to study the steles and your main body for training, so you won't waste time."

"To acquire an avatar?"

"Yes, get a good avatar. You're still a Seventh-Level Alchemist, so I'm sure you won't have any trouble with this task. Here's a suggestion for you: while a higher realm body is certainly better for an avatar, what's more important is getting one that is compatible with you. For example, if you are a Star River Behemoth, finding a Star River Behemoth avatar will be very helpful to you. At least when your strength increases, the avatar's strength will also increase, so you won't have to constantly change."

Lin Zhen agreed with Jin Nuo's words. At first, his avatar was Xiao Nuan. At that time, when his realm improved, Xiao Nuan's realm would also improve. However, after Xiao Nuan awakened, Lin Zhen couldn't find a suitable avatar.

Even Hua Hua Taisui's avatar was not very useful for Lin Zhen.

"Alright, but I need to leave here to get one."

"That's not a problem. I can give you a dolphin. Do you have an ocean in your inner world? You can keep the dolphin there, and whenever you need to leave or return to the Holy Land, you can use it."

"Thank you, Fifth Brother."

Jin Nuo smiled: "Lin Zhen, the road of cultivation is extremely long, so work hard. The vastness of the Original World and the number of experts are beyond your imagination."

"I thought that the Holy Land was the pinnacle of martial arts in the Original World."

"It's not wrong to say that the Holy Land is indeed the pinnacle of martial arts, but it's not the only one. The Endless Star Sea also has a Holy Land for practicing martial arts. And have you ever thought, the people you've met now may have lived for tens of thousands or even millions of years, so how long has the Original World existed? There can't be just so few experts. Where have those who reached the Longevity Realm gone? Right now, you're still at the bottom."

After hearing Jin Nuo's speech, Lin Zhen realized that he had been somewhat narrow-minded before.

The New World had been born for at least hundreds of billions of years, let alone the more ancient Original World.

"Should I start challenging the tower now?" Lin Zhen asked.

Only when Lin Zhen asked this question did Jin Nuo suddenly remember the purpose of his visit.

"You can't challenge the tower for the time being."

"Why?"

"There's one thing. Huang Zun and some others said that you were disrespectful to the ranking venerables, and they came to me to make a complaint, requesting that I punish you. It is indeed forbidden to fight privately within the Holy Land, so I decided to give you a little punishment."

"What punishment?"

"It's what I told you before, you need to leave the Holy Land and create a clone to come back. Return within ten months, which is when you'll have been in the Holy Land for a year. I'll announce that you were banished for ten months as a warning to others. You can only come back when the internal promotion and demotion takes place in a year, and your tower challenge will be postponed until you return."

Lin Zhen was stunned. He didn't mind leaving the Holy Land to create a clone, but ten months seemed a bit too long, because he still needed to comprehend the Shadowless Step Stele.

Jin Nuo noticed Lin Zhen's thoughts and laughed: "Don't worry, while you practice; Shadowless Step, I can transmit the pattern of the Shadowless Step Stele to you in the Dimensional Universe. Even if you're not in the Holy Land, you can comprehend the stele within the Dimensional Universe."

"Is that possible?" Lin Zhen was surprised. The Holy Land Stele couldn't be displayed through the Dimensional Universe, which was a way to maintain the lofty status of the Holy Land. He didn't expect Jin Nuo to be able to change this rule.

"Others can't do it, but a Holy Land Resident can. However, this is against the rules, so don't say a thing."

After saying that, Jin Nuo winked at Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, after you get a clone, start practicing right away. If you can break through the fifth level within a year, there will be a surprise waiting for you."

"Hehe! Alright, I will strive to break through the sixth level within a year!"

They were both Three Flowers Realm opponents. Lin Zhen's goal was even higher than Jin Nuo's, aiming to defeat the first sixth-level Heavenly Lord.

Upon hearing this, Jin Nuo's eyes brightened: "If you can break through the sixth level, then things will get interesting."

After mentioning something about Lin Zhen receiving a dolphin and transmitting the stele image of the Shadowless Step to him, Jin Nuo left immediately.

"Remember, I'll announce your banishment for ten months soon and you must leave."

Watching Jin Nuo leave, Lin Zhen felt a little strange in his heart.

The tower challenge was postponed, and he had to wait until ten months later to attempt it for the first time.

And in the eyes of the people in the Holy Land, he, an Earth Class student, was probably done for.

But Lin Zhen didn't care much about superficial things, and at least the Shadowless Step Stele wasn't delayed. Going out and getting a clone back was the most important thing.

Lin Zhen didn't enter the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower but left along the mountain road, heading towards the shore.

Along the way, Lin Zhen was already thinking about the kind of clone he needed to find.

Jin Nuo's news was announced quickly, and soon the story of Lin Zhen beating a higher-ranked student and being banished from the Holy Land for ten months by Young Master Jin Nuo spread. He would only be allowed to return for the ranking assessment after a year.

Upon hearing this news, Huang Zun and the others clapped their hands in joy.

Now Lin Zhen was doomed. They thought that since he had learned the Shadowless Step, breaking through one or two layers of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower would be no problem, which left Huang Zun and the others in despair.

But they didn't expect Young Master Jin Nuo to be so helpful, and directly banished him for ten months.

These were the most critical ten months, and if he couldn't comprehend during this time or if he fails to pass a single level of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, it would be all over when he returns in ten months.

This was almost like a disguised direct expulsion. It seemed that the Holy Land was indeed strict with its rules, and no one could offend them.

However, they didn't dare go down the mountain to mock Lin Zhen, who was about to leave, fearing they would anger Jin Nuo. They could only secretly laugh at the Earth Class area.

When Machinery heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Zhen's demotion now essentially confirmed, he'd be free to deal with him when he fell to the Xuan Class.

However, one person was not happy about it.

That person was Qian Tong, the only Saint-Level Alchemist of the Da Qin Empire, now forced to refine pills in the Holy Land.

Qian Tong hated Lin Zhen to the bone, but he couldn't make any waves in the Holy Land. He couldn't do anything other than refining pills and didn't dare to play tricks under Jin Nuo's watch.

His heart was even hoping that Lin Zhen would make a mistake and be expelled. He didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly; Lin Zhen was indeed driven out by Jin Nuo, and although it was only for ten months, it was enough for Qian Tong.

Although he couldn't leave the Holy Land, Qian Tong had numerous connections, and even a long time ago, he had been a Holy Land Warrior himself.

However, he came from the Holy Land of Freedom City and didn't belong to Falling Star Lake.

After learning that Lin Zhen had been expelled, Qian Tong immediately began to search for friends through the Dimensional Universe.

As a Saint-Level Alchemist, many people were willing to work for Qian Tong. After continuously finding several friends whom he thought were strong, and promising them generous rewards, Qian Tong continued to refine pills.

"Lin Zhen, since you left the Holy Land, don't ever come back. You should stay in the Da Qin Empire forever!"

Chapter 777: Chapter 780: The Rebellion of the Kirin Clan

When Lin Zhen arrived at the lake shore, someone was already waiting for him there and personally handed him a dolphin.

Stepping onto the dolphin's back, it immediately began to swim, heading towards the distant misty area.

Compared to the sacred land's blue whale, this dolphin was even faster, plunging into the dense mist in the blink of an eye.

After a while, a glint of light flashed, the dolphin had passed through the teleportation gate and arrived in the Huge Wave Area of Falling Star Lake.

After sailing through the waves for a while, the mainland of the Qin Kingdom appeared ahead.

In front of Lin Zhen was the mall page in the Dimensional Universe.

For the current Lin Zhen, there was no difference between being inside and outside the holy land, he could cultivate everywhere.

The key was that he needed to get a clone as soon as possible, so he could cultivate without losing sight of his comprehension.

After searching in the mall of the Dimensional Universe for a while, Lin Zhen closed it.

"This time, when replacing my clone, I must find the one that fits me. Although these clones are not bad, they are no longer suitable for me."

The most suitable for Lin Zhen at present should be the Galaxy Beast, the stronger the better. Only in this way, when he makes advancements in his realm in the future, the realm of the clone will also advance.

The optimal difference between the clone and the origial body is about one major realm. Because Lin Zhen's original body is too strong, if the clone is weaker, it will become useless. So, one major realm would be enough.

Seeing that he had arrived on the mainland of the Qin Kingdom, Lin Zhen decided to first visit the Kirin Clan.

Since joining the Kirin Clan, Lin Zhen had never returned to them. Saga, the clan leader, also told him to return and get to know the members of the clan when he had the chance.

Saga planned to cultivate Lin Zhen as the future clan leader, although Lin Zhen did not want to be a clan leader, it was still necessary to go back.

He didn't go back to the Alchemist Guild to surprise Xuan'er, because Lin Zhen saw her Dimensional Universe was in a half-closed state, set to only receive messages from him. They had an agreement that when she was in this state, it meant she was cultivating.

Lin Zhen was only staying outside for ten months. He would return to the Holy Land soon so it was better not to disturb her cultivation.

He collected the dolphin into his inner world, placing it in the ocean of Dark Star. Meanwhile, Lin Zhen summoned the Double-headed Demon Dragon and headed towards the Fire Kirin Clan.

The territory of the Fire Kirin Clan was on Heavenly Ridge.

Heavenly Ridge stretched across hundreds of countries, encompassing Freedom City. Not only the territory of the Fire Kirin was on Heavenly Ridge, including the Phoenix Clan, parts of Dragon Clan, and many Galaxy Beast races have settled in Heavenly Ridge.

Its vast natural environment was very suitable for beasts to live.

Lin Zhen arrived at a teleportation array in Qin City and was transported to the border area of Heavenly Ridge.

After passing through the teleportation array, he rode on the Demon Dragon towards the Fire Kirin Clan.

"Elder Qin, everything is almost ready."

In the Fire Kirin Clan, Elder Qin and his son, Ke Xiangdong, Ke Xiangnan, and a few others were gathered together discussing matters.

Elder Qin said solemnly, "Have all the people we need been found?"

Qin Dong, Elder Qin's son, was the first to speak, "I was tasked with finding someone from the Water Kirin Clan. I found one at the peak of the Longevity Realm, and he has already agreed to our request."

Ke Xiangdong said, "I was tasked with finding someone from the Ink Kirin Clan, also the Earth element Kirin Clan. A wandering Ink Kirin Martial Artist has agreed. I've already paid him. Although he no longer belongs to the Kirin Clan, he hasn't publicly announced it. For money, he can do anything."

Ke Xiangnan said, "The person from Wind Kirin Clan has already arrived. He is currently at my residence. This guy is also a defector of the Wind Kirin Clan. He's not a good person, but he is very suitable for our plan."

Elder Qin nodded, "Fire Kirin, Ink Kirin, Wind Kirin, plus me, that makes four people. The person from the Golden Kirin Clan is already on the way. I just spoke with him, and he should arrive today."

Qin Dong looked puzzled, "Father, why go to such lengths to find someone from each Kirin Clan? We could simply set an ambush with some masters and lure Saga out, then work together to kill him."

Elder Qin shook his head, "It's not that simple. Saga has always been on guard against me. Without proper reason, he would not agree to attend the feast. By inviting him to this gathering of the Five Elements Kirin, under the pretext of discussing major issues, he would not refuse. That old fox is cunning."

Ke Xiangdong sounded a bit worried, "Elder, even including you, all the people this time are just at the Longevity Realm. Even if we take action, I fear we may not be Saga's match. After all, that old guy is at the Three Flowers Realm."

Elder Qin chuckled, "Of course, I've considered that. But don't forget, we are all Kirin. We can use the Kylin Decides in our battle. When we transform into Kirin, we can only fight with our physical strength. Even if Saga has numerous ways, he cannot use them. If we overwhelm him, no matter how capable he is, he can only be mauled to death."

As his son, Qin Dong was more considerate. He said to Elder Qin, "Father, I fear that the Kirin Martial Artists of the other four clans might not be willing to cooperate."

"What my son said is right. But don't worry, your father is not a fool who acts without making foolproof plans. I have set a trap long ago, just waiting for this day. When the time comes, it will be impossible for them to back out."

"Father still has a contingency plan?" Qin Dong asked, his eyes alight with excitement.

"Of course, I do have one. However, it's just not convenient to disclose at the moment. Just know that if we successfully pull off this plan and I secure the clan leader token, I will become the new Kirin Clan leader!"

The group turned their eyes to Elder Qin, their eyes filled with ambition.

"Elder, if you become the clan leader, the first thing you must do is banish Lin Zhen."

"I would do that even without you reminding me. Lin Zhen currently enjoys the rights of a Kirin Clan member to enter the Holy Land. If banished from the Kirin Clan, he will lose his recommendation and most likely will be banished by the Holy Land. By then, he will be as pitiable as a homeless dog, and we will have countless methods to finish him off."

As he spoke, Elder Qin's eyes brightened, "The representative from the Golden Kirin is here. Prepare to greet him."

The location where they were was Elder Qin's residence within the Kirin Clan, a massive estate hidden within the mountains and forests.

A tall, blonde man appeared at the doorway.

"Ha ha ha! Welcome, welcome indeed! I'm honored by the visit of an impressive martial artist from the Golden Kirin Clan!"

After the arrival of the martial artist from the Golden Kirin Clan, warriors from the Water Kirin and Ink Kirin clans followed suit. Along with the Wind Kirin martial artist who arrived earlier, all guests have arrived.

"Gentlemen, today we all work for the same cause. I've transferred ten billion cash to each of your accounts. Once the plan is successful, if I become the clan leader, each of you will receive an additional ten billion as a reward. By then, you four magnates can either enjoy your life on the surface of the Original World or go to the Buffer Zone of the Endless Star Sea to purchase a Life Star and play emperor. The choice is all yours!"

The four Kirin martial artists are not exactly virtuous individuals. Each race has its good and bad elements, and they are the ones banished by their clans. It's because of this that they have received Elder Qin's invitation.

Murdering the Fire Kirin Clan Leader is a great deed. To them, it's something worth boasting about.

"Elder Qin, you're too polite. Forget about taking money from us. Even without it, it's still an incredibly exhilarating task. We're all eager to do it." The warrior from the Golden Kirin Clan, an embodiment of sharp aura, casually said.

"Ha ha ha, indeed, we're all birds of a feather. In that case, I'll invite Saga over now. Let's get this over with today."

Elder Qin began contacting Saga through the Dimensional Universe.

Qin Dong and the others were busy preparing the feast. If they were to put on a show, they had to make it as genuine as possible. Catching Saga wouldn't be easy. They've planned for this event for a long time. Everything was seamless. They were just waiting for Saga to arrive now.

A two-headed demon dragon was soaring through the sky. The dense forest and mountains on the ground flashed past beneath him. Unknowingly, Lin Zhen had penetrated deep into the Heavenly Ridge.

Lin Zhen had been riding the two-headed demon dragon for quite a while now. Since he killed Hua Hua Taisui, he had been traveling on this creature.

The two-headed demon dragon wasn't particularly fast, couldn't change its shape, and only possessed the strength of a World King. While it was a decent choice of a mount for a World King, for Lin Zhen's current situation, it was no longer adequate.

However, Lin Zhen hadn't found a more suitable mount, so he had to make do with this one temporarily.

After flying for a while, the two-headed demon dragon suddenly shivered.

Despite its lack of strength, it had a keen sense of impending danger. Its reactions indicated that a danger was nearby.

"What's happening?"

Lin Zhen halted in midair, looking behind him.

A streak of light was rapidly approaching him from the horizon at a startling speed.

"Who has a speed so swift?"

Lin Zhen was taken aback. In the Original World, almost no one could fly at the speed of light.

However, the streak of light in front of his eyes was flashing so rapidly that its speed was endlessly nearing the speed of light!

With light elements and the force of lightning enveloping it, a powerful pressure started bearing down on Lin Zhen.

Seeing the two-headed demon dragon shivering, Lin Zhen realized he was dealing with a being from the Dragon Clan.

Lin Zhen stopped and waited for the Dragon Clan warrior to approach him.

It was only when this warrior stopped that Lin Zhen got a clear look at him. His eyes gleamed fiercely, and his blonde hair fluttered wildly about with the occasional spark of lightning, emitting soft crackles.

This was the first time Lin Zhen had seen a mutated Dragon Clan member.

The warrior belonged to the Holy Light Dragon Clan but his body contained the power of lightning. This was a clear sign of a mutation. The Dragon Clan was originally super Star River Beasts, and Light Dragons were very rare, let alone mutated ones. This Dragon Clan member was incredibly powerful.

His Realm had reached the Three Flowers Peak. The concentrated life force around his head was in the form of three distinct flowers. His life blood was at an incredible level, giving off a sense of immense danger.

Chapter 778: Chapter 781: Kirin Sacred Mountain

When the mutated Light Dragon Warrior came to his side, Lin Zhen felt a strong sense of alarm, knowing that this person was coming for him.

This Three Flowers Peak warrior was by far the strongest Three Flowers Lin Zhen had ever seen.

Lin Zhen had encountered many strong Three Flowers Warriors in the Earth Class, some of whom had even broken through more than ten levels of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, but none had exerted as much pressure on him as this one.

The warrior looked at Lin Zhen as if his eyes were two shining mini suns.

"Are you Lin Zhen?"

Lin Zhen's face remained unchanged, and he asked directly, "Who sent you?"

The Light Dragon Warrior was taken aback by Lin Zhen's straightforward question, then chuckled, "Refreshing. No evasions, no nonsense. Since you asked, I'll let you know before you die. Lin Zhen, don't think just because you're a Holy Land Warrior that no one dares to lay a hand on you. I need some Saint-level elixirs, so you must die!"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do that!"

Before Lin Zhen's words fell, his Sky-cutting Divine Sword had already slashed out.

Death!

A spatial rift snaked through the air, aimed straight at the formidable enemy before him.

The Light Dragon Warrior sneered, "A speck of dust trying to shine!"

A flash of light, and the warrior, who had started later, arrived first, instantly appearing in front of Lin Zhen.

A five-foot-long saber slashed brutally at Lin Zhen's chest at the speed of light!

Not only was his attack light-speed, but his movement during close combat was also nearly light-speed, giving no time for a reaction. The blade had already reached its target!

Bang~!

A lotus blossom bloomed at Lin Zhen's waist, barely blocking the strike but still suffering some damage from it.

Lin Zhen didn't even have time to grunt before the second saber slashed at his neck!

Holy Land Martial Arts!

The saber technique used by the Light Dragon Warrior was undoubtedly Holy Land Martial Arts, and his talent for speed allowed him to multiply its power in his hands!

But Lin Zhen was no pushover. He hadn't had a chance to use his Holy Land Martial Arts until now, so he finally let loose.

Stepping on the Shadowless Step, he continuously dodged like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the Light Dragon Warrior's saber.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!

As Lin Zhen unleashed Heigu's sword skill, he launched a series of counterattacks against the warrior.

The consecutive counterattacks didn't have much effect, as the Light Dragon's power was somewhat beyond Lin Zhen's imagination.

By now, Lin Zhen was well aware that the Light Dragon's strength was superior to his own. Unless he consumed the Divine Power Pills to improve his fighting capabilities, victory seemed impossible.

While victory was difficult, the Light Dragon Warrior was also extremely shocked.

He was a Holy Land Warrior from Freedom City. Despite leaving the Holy Land for a thousand years, his ability to break through seventeen levels of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower left him with few opponents.

Qian Tong had entrusted him to kill Lin Zhen, and he didn't expect the youngster to have learned the Shadowless Step.

With his shape-shifting shadows, he would have been killed by Lin Zhen's series of counterattacks if not for his speed reaching its limit.

"Kid! The Shadowless Step can only save you temporarily. You're far behind me in terms of Star Power and speed, so you're definitely no match for me."

After executing Planet Fall, Sky-cutting Divine Sword, and Constant Star Fall, Lin Zhen knew it was hopeless. He simply opened his mouth, and the neutron God bead shot out, bringing a tremendous pressure from the sky.

The Light Dragon was startled by the power of Lin Zhen's bead and immediately retreated. He turned into a streak of light, escaping a hundred meters away before gravity could bear down on him.

With numerous afterimages surrounding him, the Light Dragon changed his combat style, not attacking fiercely but fighting on the move, intending to exhaust Lin Zhen to death.

Seeing the Light Dragon retreat, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the enemy did not press on, he could escape.

In an instant, a lotus blossom unfolded, forming a protective layer. Lin Zhen's spiritual power was activated simultaneously.

Teleport!

The Light Dragon Warrior never expected Lin Zhen to teleport so decisively.

Performing short-distance teleportation in the Original World was risky, as the warrior could catch up in seconds.

But Lin Zhen's teleportation was different. In an instant, he traveled thousands of kilometers, far beyond the Light Dragon's vision.

After landing, Lin Zhen didn't pause and teleported again, disappearing without a trace.

After several tries, Lin Zhen had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers. He himself was getting lost in the dense forest, let alone the pursuing Light Dragon Warrior.

"Phew! That was close. If I had waited a little longer, I might not have been able to escape. This Light Dragon Warrior's power is truly astonishing."

Having evaded the Light Dragon's pursuit, Lin Zhen dared not ride his Double-headed Demon Dragon anymore. He flew low to avoid exposure and occasionally teleported to speed up his journey towards the Kirin Clan's territory.

Finding Lin Zhen would not be easy for the Light Dragon Warrior.

One misstep and all could be lost; he initially thought the battle was almost guaranteed to succeed, but in the end, Lin Zhen managed to escape.

For a martial artist who had cleared the seventeen-story tower, this was simply a great disgrace.

"Run, let's see where you can run to!"

The Light Dragon sat on the ground, with Star Power floating above his head, and his inherent light elements radiated out, gathering at the top of his head.

Lin Zhen's breath was still in the air; as long as he could lock onto a trace of it, he could find the general direction of Lin Zhen.

After a while, the light elements formed an arrow, pointing in the direction Lin Zhen had fled.

"It's this way. I'll see if you can run faster, or if my Light Thunder speed is faster!"

With a flick of his wide cloak, the Light Dragon rose into the sky, with a cluster of lightning forming beneath his feet.

Just like the lightning that streaked across the sky during a thunderstorm, this lightning sent a silver snake through the air, carrying the Light Dragon's body, disappearing from the spot at an incredible speed!

However, it didn't take long for the Light Dragon to doubt that he could easily catch up with Lin Zhen.

That's because the kid's route was not regular; he didn't move in a straight line but instead, zigzagged unpredictably.

Although the Light Dragon's speed in controlling the Light Thunder was fast enough, easily reaching three hundred thousand kilometers per second, he could easily overshoot if he didn't gauge it correctly, consequently losing Lin Zhen's direction.

With no other choice, he had to give up the flashy move of riding the Light Thunder and honestly follow the guidance of the light, step by step, tracking Lin Zhen.

However, Lin Zhen also teleported halfway through, which further increased the difficulty of catching up; he often had to re-establish the direction, so instead of getting closer, the distance between them grew even further.

At this point, the Light Dragon Warrior still had not realized that the direction he was heading was actually towards the Star River Giant Beast Alliance's royal family of Kirin!

After receiving Elder Qin's invitation, Saga found himself in a dilemma.

Saga was cautious of Elder Qin, as the elder was not only a wise man but also had a scheming personality.

If it were an ordinary invitation, Saga would not even consider it, but this time was different.

He had gathered warriors from the Ink Kirin, Water Kirin, Wind Kirin, and Gold Kirin clans; if Saga did not go and take a look, he would not be at ease.

If Elder Qin was plotting something, wouldn't he be kept in the dark.

However, he wasn't too worried about Qin and the others attacking him, as a Three Flowers Warrior, how could he fear a few Longevity Stage warriors?

"Go! Let's see what this guy is up to."

Just as Saga was about to leave, one of his staff members said to him, "Chief, I won't go into other matters, but please be careful. The other warriors are all Kirin; if they use the Kylin Decides technique, would you be able to withstand it?"

Saga hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "As the Chief of the Kirin Clan, I can't help but consider this issue. I estimate their trump card could be just that, but I'm well-prepared for it."

As he spoke, Saga took out a bottle of black potion.

"This is Blood Poison. If it really comes to Kylin Decides, I can smear it on my scales. If they dare to bite me, they'll be ready for us all to die together!"

Hearing Saga's words, his staff member also felt relieved, as it seemed that even if Elder Qin wanted to deal with the chief, it wouldn't be so easy.

As Saga was about to step out of the door, he stopped and said to his staff member, "Today, I received news from Lin Zhen's Dimensional Universe Communication, saying that he wants to visit the Kirin Clan. If I haven't returned by the time he arrives, please entertain him."

"Understood, Chief."

The sun had already climbed to the zenith, emitting scorching rays of light.

Lin Zhen used teleportation again, passing through a vast area of dense forest ahead, and the surrounding plants began to thin out.

After walking about a hundred thousand kilometers, the ground beneath his feet was all fiery red gravel.

As soon as he felt the strong smell of smoky dust in the air, Lin Zhen knew he had finally arrived at the home of the Fire Kirin Clan.

The Fire Kirin Clan lived on a volcano called Panpas, with all of their people living around the volcano.

From a distance, thick smoke billowed above the volcano, with flames and lava erupting from time to time.

Such a place might be hell for other life forms, but for the Fire Kirin who bathed in flames and ate lava, it was a paradise.

Lin Zhen's main purpose of coming here was to get a suitable avatar; his main body, the Black Hole Beast, was a Kirin, so it was natural for him to hope to find another Kirin body.

He had contacted Saga on his way here, and Saga had expressed support for his idea and told Lin Zhen that there were indeed a few available bodies here for him to consider.

However, he had met with Qian Tong's people halfway, causing Lin Zhen's plan to change somewhat. He was supposed to arrive in the morning but ended up being delayed by half a day.

In the scorching and distorted air ahead, a Fire Kirin appeared.

"This is the sacred mountain of the Fire Kirin Clan; halt, stranger!"

Chapter 779: Chapter 782: Divine Spear in Stone (Triple Update)

"I spoke with Landis, the clan leader, and my name is Lin Zhen."

Seeing the guard of Kirin Sacred Mountain coming out, Lin Zhen replied calmly.

The Fire Kirin guard's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Zhen's name: "So it's Lin Zhen, we are very glad to have you here. This is your first time visiting the Kirin clan, right?"

"Yes, the first time."

"Well, congratulations on coming home. The clan leader has already announced that you are one of our clan members. You can take a look around here."

"Alright." Lin Zhen agreed and walked in.

"Um… could I have a photo with you? You know, I'm your fan."

The Longevity Realm Kirin was somewhat shy, not much different from the stargazers on Earth when they saw their idols.

"Hehe, no problem."

The Kirin turned into a young man and took a photo with Lin Zhen in front of the Sacred Mountain.

Walking through an invisible light gate, the scene inside was completely different from the outside.

From the outside, the Sacred Mountain looked like a bald volcano, an infertile land. But after passing through the light gate, it became apparent that the outer appearance was an illusion.

This place was indeed a volcano, but there were many buildings built around it. As the home of the Fire Kirin clan, it couldn't be too shabby.

The first thing that caught Lin Zhen's eyes was a row of Kirin statues.

Those who could have their statues erected here were all great figures of the Fire Kirin clan.

There were the first clan leader of the Fire Kirin at the dawn of the Original World, figures who had once served as the leader of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and those who had established immortal merits.

When Lin Zhen arrived at the seventh statue, he stopped.

The statue was of a person and a Kirin, but this Kirin was different from the others. It was actually a Black Hole Beast.

Lin Zhen had been in the Original World for so long and had seen many races and people, but he had never seen another Black Hole Beast before.

This Black Hole Beast was named Moka, and there was a brief introduction below it.

Moka, a mutated Fire Kirin, was called the Black Hole Beast because it could release a black hole to devour everything.

As a Holy Land warrior from the Twin Trees Garden, Moka went to the Endless Star Sea to battle against the Imperial Clan at the peak of the Three Flowers Stage. In the end, Moka disappeared.

Below, there were the brilliant battle achievements and the life story of Moka. Those achievements were shocking to behold, and Lin Zhen could easily feel the glory of Moka back then.

However, the date inscribed below was too far away, dating back hundreds of millions of years ago.

"A god-level figure from hundreds of millions of years ago, I wonder if he has perished. Chances are slim, though."

Aside from Moka, there were many other mutated Fire Kirins here.

There were Wind Element, Fire Element, and Earth Element mutated Fire Kirins, and so on.

There were even dual-element and triple-element mutated Fire Kirins. Lin Zhen even saw a Fire Kirin mutated with all four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, named Landis. He was once the most powerful expert of the Fire Kirin clan and had extraordinary strength.

Not only Fire Kirins but any Galaxy Beasts that could mutate were also some form of luck. After mutating, their potential would surpass that of their peers, and each mutated Galaxy Beast would have its own legendary story.

After looking around, Lin Zhen noticed that more than half of the Fire Kirin experts had died in the Endless Star Sea.

Cultivation, joining the Holy Land, continuing to cultivate, entering the Endless Star Sea battlefield, then perishing!

This might be a fatal cycle for the warriors of the Original World. They pursued the strongest martial path only to find it was a dead end. It made Lin Zhen wonder just how terrifying the Endless Star Sea battlefield must be to cause the death of so many powerful beings.

After passing the statue group, there was a towering hall in front, located near the mouth of the volcano.

The name of the hall was Fire Palace, which led directly to the depths of the volcano. This was the residence of the Fire Kirin Clan Leader, where Saga should be living.

As Lin Zhen came to the entrance of the Fire Palace, his attention was drawn to a long spear.

In front of the Fire Palace, there was a giant stone that was as large as a skyscraper. Although its light had dimmed, Lin Zhen recognized it at a glance as a huge Cosmic Crystal!

More precisely, this should be a World Stone, the crystal of a martial artist's inner world.

Lin Zhen also had an inner world, and his World Stone was quite large. However, compared to this stone, it was still much smaller.

Lin Zhen estimated that the owner of this stone must have been more than just at the Three Flowers Stage; otherwise, it would not have produced such a massive World Stone.

Surprisingly, this huge stone had been pierced by a long spear, which rested on top of the stone.

It was evident that the owner of the stone must have been killed by the owner of this spear.

There was an introduction below the stone.

"Landis's Spear. Landis pierced through the Demon God's Dantian with this spear, broke through their inner world, toppled this World Stone, and reversed the situation on the Windsor Battlefield. However, Landis also fell as a result."

"This Landis's Spear was left here to commemorate his great achievements. In Landis's last words, whoever can pull out this Landis's Spear shall be the owner of this spear."

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on the long spear atop the giant stone.

Ever since his spear was destroyed, Lin Zhen had been using a sword. Although swordsmanship is profound, Lin Zhen still had a fondness for the long spear.

During the search for his avatar, Lin Zhen had thought that the avatar should not only use the sword like the main body, and should find a suitable long spear.

There are different benefits of using spears and swords. Swordsmanship is more delicate, but spearmanship has stronger offensive capabilities and is more suitable for group battles. Lin Zhen did not want to give up either.

However, a good long spear is too difficult to find. Lin Zhen has not found a Spirit Treasure Level spear so far.

But this spear was different. From a distance, the black spear body had intricate ancient patterns, made of some unknown material, though it was clear that its strength and toughness are excellent.

Moreover, the coldness emanating from the spear made Lin Zhen feel the bone-chilling cold even from a hundred meters away, further proving the extraordinary nature of this spear.

This is not just a Spirit Treasure Level spear, but a top-quality one among Spirit Treasures!

"This spear, I'm afraid it's much better than the Sky-cutting Divine Sword!"

The more Lin Zhen looked at it, the more eager he was to possess it.

Just then, a Fire Kirin youth happened to pass by, and Lin Zhen stopped him: "Little brother, can anyone pull this spear out?"

Although the youth did not recognize Lin Zhen, it did not prevent him from speaking to Lin Zhen.

"As long as you are a member of our Fire Kirin Clan, you can try to pull this spear. However, I advise you to give up this idea. Landis's Spear is the treasure of the Fire Kirin Clan, and for countless years, only Landis has been able to use it. No one else can move it even a bit."

As the youth pointed to the ground: "Look there, the World Stone is fixed on the ground. No matter how strong you are, you cannot pull the spear and the World Stone together. You can only pull the spear out of the stone. But no matter how strong a person's power or Star Power is, it is impossible to succeed."

Lin Zhen looked at it, and indeed the World Stone was fixed and tightly connected to the ground.

But Lin Zhen's desire to pull the spear had little to do with the stone. He asked the youth: "So am I qualified?"

"Of course, you can try."

Without a word, Lin Zhen leaped onto the top of the stone.

Upon reaching the stone, Lin Zhen felt even more the extraordinary nature of the spear.

The part exposed outside the stone is about two meters long, and it is estimated that the part inside is more than one meter. The grip is as thick as a goose egg. Touching the spear handle lightly, the cold, coarse feeling was like touching a mountain, giving him a sense of absolute reliability.

"With this spear in hand, combined with suitable spearmanship, I will surely be invincible!"

Grasping the spear with one hand, Lin Zhen began to adjust his breath.

Since this spear has been left with the Fire Kirin Clan for billions of years, it certainly wouldn't be easy to pull out. But how could Lin Zhen be content without trying?

As soon as Lin Zhen stood on top of the stone, many Fire Kirin Clan members immediately gathered around to watch the fun.

Someone recognized Lin Zhen right away.

"Oh my god, it's Lin Zhen, it's really him!"

"Really? I've only seen him in the Dimensional Universe before, and now I finally see him in person! Lin Zhen, I'm your fan!"

"Is Lin Zhen one of our clan members?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the Holy Land selection earlier? It was introduced as the Fire Kirin Clan's Lin Zhen. He joined the Fire Kirin Clan long ago, and the Clan Leader had already announced it, but he just never had the chance to come."

"Lin Zhen, come on! If you can pull this spear out, you'll be a hero in our clan!"

As the clamor below reached him, Lin Zhen closed his eyes and remained undisturbed.

He gathered his Star Power to the limit, and both hands tightly gripped the spear.

Feeling that he was at his peak state, Lin Zhen immediately unleashed his power.

"Argh~~!!"

With a roar, Lin Zhen's power exploded to its limit, and all forty-eight million Star Power erupted!

But the spear didn't move at all!

At this moment, Lin Zhen sensed something was off.

It was not because his Star Power was insufficient, but because he felt that inside the spear, there was an unnoticeable blooming flower that countered his Star Power!

On the Elemental Flower, the forces of earth, water, fire, and wind surged, and the four petals formed a powerful protective field, causing his power to disappear without a trace.

"This is… an Elemental Flower? Why does this exist?"

Elemental Flowers are the crystallization of elemental power and are formed from talent, not something that can be achieved just by having elemental power.

Lin Zhen remembered Landis's story he had just seen. Landis was a four-elements mutated Kirin, which might be the reason for his Elemental Flower.

"I get it now. To pull this spear out, one has to be a four-elements mutant. Otherwise, it's impossible, no matter how much Star Power is infused into the spear, it will be counteracted by the Four Elements Flower. The only way to pull it out is to pull up the Original World, but of course, that's impossible."

Understanding the reason, Lin Zhen felt a little regretful. Was such an extraordinary divine weapon doomed to be a mere decoration?

Chapter 780: Chapter 783: Kirin Clan Duel!

After trying once, Lin Zhen realized it was impossible to pull out, so he didn't continue experimenting and leaped down from the boulder.

People let out some sighs of regret, but they didn't say much. It was normal for Lin Zhen to not be able to pull out the spear since nobody had been able to do so for countless years.

Upon coming down, a group of Fire Kirin warriors of different sizes gathered around and talked to Lin Zhen.

Fire Kirins were rare in ordinary days, but here, they were everywhere.

"Hehe, that's good, I'll have plenty of chances to gather with you all in the future. But now, I need to meet Chief Sajia. I wonder if he's in the Fire Palace?"

At this moment, Chief Sajia's staff member walked out: "The Chief has gone to Elder Qin's place. Mr. Lin Zhen can go to Elder Qin's residence to find him. His residence is on the other side of the mountain, less than three thousand miles from here."

Upon hearing Elder Qin's name, Lin Zhen suddenly felt a bad omen in his heart.

Elder Qin and his sons, as well as the Ke brothers, Ke Xiangdong and Ke Xiangnan, had made many schemes behind the scenes and put obstacles in Lin Zhen's way. If Lin Zhen hadn't worked hard enough and had a bit of luck, he might have been killed by them.

It was still unclear whether Elder Qin would have any ill intentions toward Chief Sajia, who was undoubtedly close to Lin Zhen.

"No, I have to go and see."

After asking for the location of Elder Qin's residence, Lin Zhen bid farewell to everyone and hurried towards it.

Traversing the volcanic area, Lin Zhen flew low.

In a short while, a manor appeared between the volcanic rocks in front of him. That was the target location.

However, Lin Zhen felt an astonishing aura rising from within the manor even though it was still a hundred miles away from him!

Muffled roars faintly reached his ears, causing Lin Zhen's eyelids to twitch.

As expected, something had gone wrong!

One hour earlier…

The visit of the Chief was a significant event for an elder's family. Elder Qin, his son, and the Ke brothers greeted him at the door.

"Hahaha! The Chief's presence is a great honor for this humble one!"

Since it was within the Clan, Chief Sajia came alone without attendants. Facing Elder Qin's hypocritical smile, Chief Sajia smiled as well: "Elder Qin invited me, so I had to come no matter how busy I was. Besides, there are other guests waiting. Where are they?"

"They are all waiting in the hall. The food and drinks are already prepared. We are just waiting for the Chief to arrive and then we can start. Please."

"Please!"

The two exchanged pleasantries and entered the manor together.

The hall of Elder Qin's residence was several dozen meters high and luxurious. As an elder of a race in the Original World, he was powerful and extremely wealthy.

Inside the hall was a fire tree forest that covered several square kilometers.

Fire trees were unique to the Original World. The growth environment of these plants differed from ordinary plants. They required a certain degree of heat to grow, making them suitable to be cultivated in volcanic rock areas.

Due to the frequent volcanic eruptions outside, the environment wasn't suitable for nurturing fire trees, so the wealthy members of the Fire Kirin Clan would plant these trees indoors.

Clusters of maple-like leaves were brilliantly colored, and the air was fresh and pleasant in the forest.

"Chief, our guests are waiting in the tree forest. We just need to go around the corner."

Chief Sajia slowly walked through the forest, past the indoor bridge, and while looking at the winding river below, he said to Elder Qin, "Every time I come here, I find the environment enchanting. I'd like to build my place just like this, but I'm always short on funds."

"Hehe, the Chief is too modest. As for me, I tightened my belt to create such a scene."

As the two were talking, the area in front of them opened up.

In the center of the forest stood a huge metal platform. It looked like a stage and also served as the dining area.

"Oh! I think this is my first time seeing this platform."

"It's new. Drinking and admiring fire trees on it is a unique experience."

Chief Sajia glanced at Elder Qin with disdain, "Drinking and admiring fire trees is about being close to nature. A metal platform seems out of place. It would be better if it were made of stone."

"Haha, the Chief has a point. I was a bit vulgar. I will change the metal platform to a stone one in the future."

After belittling Elder Qin, Chief Sajia's mood improved, and he followed Elder Qin up to the platform.

On the platform, the food and drinks had already been arranged, and martial artists from the Ink Kirin, Water Kirin, Wind Kirin, and Golden Kirin Clans had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Chief Sajia arrive, they all stood up and greeted him.

"Greetings, everyone. Please sit, sit!"

Chief Sajia didn't bother with too much politeness. Although the martial artists from the four clans were his guests, he was, after all, the Chief, a supreme expert in the Three Flowers Realm.

These four clans' people were only in the Longevity Stage, not worthy of his utmost attention.

At Elder Qin's home, Chief Sajia intended for Elder Qin to take the main seat, but Elder Qin insisted that Chief Sajia sit there. Martial artists from the four clans took their positions on either side, while Elder Qin added a seat next to Chief Sajia for himself.

Gently clapping their hands, several beautiful elves began to serve the dishes and drinks. When everything was ready, Elder Qin raised his glass and said to everyone present: "First, I would like to thank the clan leaders and friends who have come to my house. Please enjoy this drink."

Everyone drank together, and Saga used his Star Power to dissolve the alcohol, preventing any tricks from Elder Qin.

After drinking, Saga asked, "Elder Qin, you invited the envoys of the four clans to discuss a significant matter. Why haven't I heard anything about it beforehand?"

Elder Qin also put down his wine glass and slowly stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I invited you all here is indeed to discuss an important matter."

His previously playful tone became serious. The envoys of the four clans also put down their glasses, and an invisible pressure began to permeate the air.

Elder Qin waved his hand, and all the serving elf beauties left, leaving only them in the room.

"Has anyone heard the saying 'Emperors take turns, next year it will be my family's turn'?" he inquired.

Saga's eyelids twitched slightly, "I have. Speak your mind, Elder Qin."

"You have been the clan leader for millions of years, and in all that time, we Fire Kirin Clan have seen no significant progress. Our status is low in the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and our talents have withered. Don't you think you bear some responsibility for this?"

"Oh, and just how do you propose I take responsibility?"

"It's simple. As I said, emperors take turns. Since you can't lead the Fire Kirin Clan to prosperity, let someone capable take your place."

"It seems you believe yourself to be that capable person, Elder Qin."

"Heh, although I may not be very talented, I believe I can handle the position of clan leader. I have invited the envoys of the four clans here today to witness this."

Saga sat calmly, "The transfer of a clan leader requires consensus within the clan. The representatives you brought here do not have that authority; they cannot speak for the other four clans."

"You're right. A change in leadership does require clan consensus. But what if a leader suddenly dies and passes on his position? There's no need for a consensus then, right?"

"So, you're finally telling the truth? These four people are merely assassins you've hired."

Despite Elder Qin's aggression, Saga didn't show any signs of panic. As a clan leader and a Three Flowers Realm master, he had absolute confidence in himself. The fact that his opponents were merely Longevity Stage didn't worry him.

"If you insist on thinking that way, that's fine. But now that you're here, don't think about leaving. Hand over the clan leader's token, write down your will, and I'll spare your life. I will imprison you in my inner world, never to leave. Otherwise, today will mark the anniversary of your death next year."

With that, Elder Qin tore away all pretenses, revealing his true face.

The warriors of the other four clans all focused their attention on Saga. They had accepted Elder Qin's payment and were ready to attack Saga at any moment.

Of course, Saga had no intention of giving up his position. At this point, he felt that it was better to strike first.

He slammed the table, causing the bowls and chopsticks to bounce. Saga was about to take action.

The warriors from the four clans had been paying close attention. Seeing Saga was about to make a move, the Golden Kirin elder closest to him took the lead!

Without any unnecessary movements, he directly activated the Kylin Decides!

A huge golden Kirin appeared, letting out a deafening roar!

At almost the same time, the Water Kirin, Wind Kirin, and Ink Kirin also appeared. The four massive beasts knocked over the tables and chairs on the platform, filling the air with the aura of the king of beasts, the Kirin.

Under the pressure of this aura, the distant fire trees seemed unable to withstand the oppression, and their leaves fell like rain.

It was during that time that Elder Qin retreated and leaped off the metal platform.

Originally, their agreement was that five people would attack together, using Kylin Decides to deal with Saga. However, Elder Qin had unexpectedly backed down.

Yet, he shouted, "What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and attack! I'm going to get my treasure to deal with him! You only need to hold him off for three minutes!"

Driven by the Kylin Decides, Saga took on his true Fire Kirin form.

As a Three Flowers warrior, his transformed Kirin was much larger than the others'. A fiery red Kirin appeared, facing the four massive beasts that surrounded him.

At this point, the warriors of the four clans had no choice but to try to kill Saga as quickly as possible to avoid complications.

"Roar! Roar!"

Elemental powers surged, and roars shook the sky as the four Kirins rushed at Saga from all directions!

Seeing the sharp teeth in the four people's mouths, Saga had a thought, and suddenly sprayed a bottle of black potion all over his body.

"Blood Poison!"

The Wind Kirin warrior shouted.

Saga opened his mouth wide and laughed, "Didn't expect that, did you? If you want to bite me to death, be prepared to be poisoned yourselves. I came to this banquet fully prepared for your schemes. How dare you, a bunch of children, plot against your clan leader! Go to hell!"

The warriors of the four clans dodged in all directions. Though they dared not bite, they could still use their claws to attack. In an instant, they were all fighting on the platform!

The confrontation of the five giant beasts sent chills down anyone's spine. Meanwhile, Elder Qin quietly approached the side, pushing a lever beneath the platform.

A layer of thick, red mist slowly rose from the edges of the metal platform, enveloping the five giant beasts above.

"Fight on! When the five elements gather, you'll soon realize that you won't be able to stop. Let me refine and merge you all!"

Chapter 781: Chapter 784: Subdued and Executed

Blood poison is a special kind of toxin with strong corrosiveness.

If tainted with saliva, blood, and other bodily fluids, it will act and not only rot the body but also drive people mad.

The giant beasts fighting in the Kylin Decides on the stage had already become a chaotic brawl, and with sharp teeth and claws, injury was inevitable.

After being stained with blood, everyone nearly fell into a berserk state, and the fight became more intense.

Tables and chairs were being thrown around, and hairs and scales had fallen all over the ground, with blood everywhere.

The roars of the giant beasts filled the entire hall, with the red of the Fire Tree falling, making it extraordinarily shocking.

The blood mist was enveloped by a faint golden light, which acted as an energy shield. Elder Qin did not allow these giant beasts the chance to break free.

Despite Elder Qin's actions, the giant beasts on the platform seemed completely undeterred and continued to attack each other wildly.

Saga, worthy of being at the Three Flowers Realm, was abundant in Star Power and was not at a disadvantage when dealing with four opponents. Sharp teeth and claws swung, sending flesh and blood flying.

The martial artists of the four clans were like wolves attacking a tiger – although they were no match for it one-on-one, they could still pose a great threat when ganging up.

At this moment, Qin Dong approached his father.

"Father! Is this the backup plan you spoke of?"

Elder Qin's eyes sparkled with excitement: "I didn't expect Saga to actually bring blood poison, which made my plan even easier to implement."

"There's a lot more to this metal platform, huh."

"Of course, when has your father ever been reckless in his actions? Let me tell you, it took me tens of billions to obtain this Gathering Spirit Array. Do you know why I invited martial artists from the other four clans here?"

Qin Dong shook his head, although he had some ideas, he was not certain.

"Hehe, Wind Kirin, Ink Kirin, Water Kirin, Golden Kirin, and Saga's Fire Kirin make up the five elements. Once they all die, the five elements and their bodies will be gathered by the Gathering Spirit Array and forge a brand new Super Kylin Beast!"

"Super Kylin?" Qin Dong didn't quite understand.

"Yes, the Super Kylin, a mutated Kylin combining all five elements. Strictly speaking, it should also be considered a mutated Kylin. You must know our clan's Landis, which is a Quadruple Elemental Mutated Kylin. But I suspect even Landis' mutation is not normal, as having one or two elemental mutations is normal, but three are almost impossible. How could there be a Quadruple Elemental Mutated Kylin?"

"So, I've been preparing everything for this. As soon as the Super Kylin body is created, I will refine it into an avatar."

Elder Qin took a deep breath, "Once the avatar is refined and given time to cultivate, I can even make it become the leader of the entire Kirin Clan! I can also go to the Holy Land to cultivate, and even later, I might have the chance to compete for the leadership of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance!"

Hearing the beautiful future Elder Qin described, Qin Dong's eyes sparkled: "Father, does that mean I will become the son of the Leader of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance?"

"There is absolutely a possibility. Son, just watch as your father leads the alliance to the pinnacle of the universe!" Elder Qin's ambition, which had been suppressed for so long, was finally released.

Although the road ahead seemed far away, if today's plan succeeded, everything would be possible and not exaggerated!

As they imagined the beautiful blueprint of the future, the father and son duo were full of excitement.

With the passage of time, the battle on the platform gradually neared its end.

Whether it was Saga or the martial artists from the four clans, they were all exhausted and battered at this point.

One side had great strength while the other had numbers, neither side was able to completely annihilate the other. Instead, the intense battle accelerated the circulation of blood poison and the blood mist released by Elder Qin, bringing them closer to death.

"The critical moment is about to arrive. Once they all die, their bodies will immediately begin to converge. Qin Dong, go and check on the Ke family brothers and strictly guard the entrance. No one is allowed to enter."

"Yes, father, I wish you success!"

Qin Dong cheerfully left, knowing that once his father succeeded, his life would be much better.

After Qin Dong left, Elder Qin took out a rhomboid crystal.

"A perfect crystal from the Endless Star Sea. I've spent nearly all my wealth and effort to obtain you, even embezzling enough to draw Saga's discontent. Today, you'll finally be put to use."

"With the perfect crystal embedded, the body will become a Super Divine Body, even evolving special abilities."

"This new body will be my capital for dominating the universe in the future — a mutated Kylin with five elements. Hahaha! A Super Star River Beast among Super Star River Beasts, thinking about it is just so exciting!"

Elder Qin was completely oblivious, focusing only on the high platform, waiting for the moment the giant beasts died.

Lin Zhen arrived above Elder Qin's estate and quickly dove down.

He sensed Saga's aura, which was extremely weak, undoubtedly a result of a scheme. If he had arrived any later, he might have made a grave mistake.

As he reached the gate, two guards stopped his path: "Stop! This is Elder Qin's private estate. The elder is hosting guests, and no one may enter without an invitation!"

Without saying a word, Lin Zhen waved his palm, and a Sword Gang broke through the air, directly killing the two Level Nine World King guards.

Now killing realm kings was as easy as killing chickens for Lin Zhen, without any difficulty.

After killing two people, another person appeared.

"Who dares to intrude Elder's residence!"

Lin Zhen took a closer look, and it turned out to be someone he knew: Ke Xiangnan.

Lin Zhen had a feud with Ke Xiangnan. Back when he first entered Heavenly Gate, he competed with Ke Xiangnan.

At that time, Ke Xiangnan's realm was much higher than Lin Zhen's, and Lin Zhen had also wasted 700 years later. But now, Ke Xiangnan was only at the peak of the World King realm, almost caught up by Lin Zhen.

If it comes to strength, Ke Xiangnan was already far behind Lin Zhen.

Seeing Lin Zhen, Ke Xiangnan's legs trembled immediately. Although he hated Lin Zhen deeply, he was also extremely afraid of him.

Even when Lin Zhen killed Ke Jianglong, Ke Xiangnan dared not do anything openly. He could only find someone to assassinate Lin Zhen in secret. But he absolutely did not dare to face Lin Zhen directly.

It was precisely because of this that the super genius from the New World at that time could only waste time in the Original World, could not enter the Longevity Realm just because of his Heart Demon problem.

So upon seeing Lin Zhen, Ke Xiangnan's first reaction was to turn around and run.

Unfortunately, he could not escape. If a realm king could escape from Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen would not have to mix up anymore.

Raising his hand directly, an irresistible gravitational force pulled Ke Xiangnan into Lin Zhen's grasp.

With one hand on his neck, Lin Zhen sneered, "Ke Xiangnan, do you think you could kill me by finding the machine? Speaking of it, I must thank you. If it weren't for you small characters working behind my back, I might not have achieved what I have today. But now I'm tired of it, I don't want to play with you and the jumping clowns!"

"Ah! No, Lin Zhen, listen to me. It's all a misunderst…ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhen exerted strength in his hand and twisted Ke Xiangnan's neck!

With a click, Ke Xiangnan's head drooped weakly, with blood vessels and bones all shattered, and only a layer of skin was still connected.

After killing Ke Xiangnan, Lin Zhen heard the sound of messy footsteps in the distance. He raised his hand, and Ke Xiangdong, who had just entered Longevity Realm, was also captured by him.

"You two brothers are both good for nothing, bad to the core. You can go and be with your father!"

Following the same method, Lin Zhen squeezed Ke Xiangdong's neck.

From then on, the people of the Ke family who had come from the New World had all been exterminated. The father and two sons were all killed by Lin Zhen.

After killing two people in a row, Lin Zhen advanced at high speed again, almost running into Qin Dong head-on.

Lin Zhen had also met Qin Dong. When he was on the Divine Punishment Star, Qin Dong was also eliminated by him.

Qin Dong also feared Lin Zhen deep in his bones, knowing that he was no match and wanted to seek help immediately.

As he opened his mouth, he saw Lin Zhen's brow move, and a spiritual evil spirit cone burst through the air, piercing his brain and penetrating his Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

Brain death!

Without leaving a trace, Qin Dong also fell softly to the ground. Over time, these people who were once on par with Lin Zhen had long been left far behind by him.

After killing three people in a row, there was no wave in Lin Zhen's heart. He came to the Kirin Clan to create an avatar, but Lin Zhen also wanted to solve Elder Qin and his gang, so that these people would not keep trying to hurt him from behind.

Over time, as his realm improved, Lin Zhen would bring his family to the Original World sooner or later. By then, he did not want any villains to cause trouble.

Lin Zhen accelerated and passed through the fire tree forest with two flashes.

When Lin Zhen saw the platform, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Above the platform, four Kirin were already dead, with only Saga still barely alive, but he seemed to be almost done as well.

Under the platform, Elder Qin was holding a crystal in his hand, looking at Saga resentfully.

"Saga! Stop struggling and persisting in vain, the Kirin Clan no longer belongs to you or needs you. You're alive only to be an eyesore, so just give up. You'll be free and won't have to endure this pain."

Saga crawled on the platform, feeling his body approaching death, and was about to give in.

"You won't succeed!" he insisted on saying.

"Heh, whether I succeed or not, is none of your business. In any case, you won't see the final scene. But I can tell you, your body and power will be refined into an avatar by me and live on in another way. This is my greatest compassion. Hahaha!"

Elder Qin laughed maniacally, unable to contain his excitement.

At this moment, there was a sudden voice behind him.

"No matter what the outcome is for Clan Leader Saga, it has nothing to do with you because you won't see it."

Chapter 782: Chapter 785: Birth of the Strongest Clone! (Third Update)

Hearing this voice, Elder Qin almost lost his soul!

"Lin Zhen!"

The man at the door did not give any warning, Lin Zhen could come here, which means that the people outside are already done for, including Qin Elder's son Qin Dong.

Elder Qin's reaction was correct, he knew the strength of Lin Zhen, so many Three Flowers Warriors had lost to Lin Zhen, let alone him, who was at the peak of Longevity Realm.

His only lifesaving straw at the moment was Saga on the high platform.

Lin Zhen came here, probably to save Saga, he could threaten Lin Zhen with Saga's life, believing that Lin Zhen would not be indifferent.

Immediately turning around, Elder Qin said: "Lin Zhen, if you want Saga to live, you can't make a move. This metal platform array was bought by me at a huge price. No one else can use it. If I don't save him, he will undoubtedly die!"

Thinking that this would threaten Lin Zhen, but unexpectedly Lin Zhen laughed: "Since I have come here, I cannot be threatened by you, die for me!"

Elder Qin saw that it was not good and wanted to run, but it was too late. Lin Zhen's Mental Shock directly knocked him out, and Spiritual Power immediately enveloped him.

Soul Lock!

Elder Qin was just at the peak of the Longevity Realm, and it wasn't a big deal in Lin Zhen's eyes. After being hit by Spiritual Power, Soul Lock wasn't difficult.

In less than a minute, Elder Qin became a loyal and obedient servant to Lin Zhen.

"Tell me, how to save Saga?"

"Master, Saga is beyond saving. If you could go up to the high platform at this time, maybe you would be able to hear a few of his last words."

"What is this high platform you've created?"

"I wanted to capture all the people on the platform and refine a Five Elements Mutated Kylin clone. With this clone, I would be able to dominate the Star River Giant Beast Alliance."

"Five Elements clone? Does it have any flaws?"

"There are some flaws. Saga's body is not very suitable, if it was a Longevity Realm Fire Kirin, the strength of the clone would be stronger, but his realm is slightly higher."

Lin Zhen nodded and pointed to the high platform, "You go up and replace Clan Leader Saga."

A trace of struggle flashed in Elder Qin's eyes. Lin Zhen was sending him to his death, and his instinct was reluctant, but after being Soul Locked, he had no choice. He still opened the protection without hesitation, went up to the high platform, brought down the dying Saga, and then stayed on the high platform.

Layers of blood fog enveloped him, and Elder Qin's body began to corrode slowly. But he could only grit his teeth and stay silent, fearing that Lin Zhen would be a little unhappy.

Lin Zhen came to Saga's side, used light elements and water elements to cleanse him continuously, but only slightly delayed his death. Saga had no chance of survival.

"Clan Leader." Lin Zhen asked softly.

Perhaps it was a last burst of energy, or perhaps Lin Zhen's treatment had some effect, Saga slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Lin Zhen, his eyes brightened for a moment.

"Lin Zhen, I was too careless and was schemed against by the villain."

"Clan Leader, don't say too much, so you can hold on longer."

"Whether it is longer or slower, it's no use…"

Saga said a word, took out a gold seal, and handed it to Lin Zhen.

"This is the Clan Leader's token of my Fire Kirin Clan. You take it. My Fire Kirin Clan cannot be without a leader. I think you are capable of leading the Fire Kirin Clan to its peak."

Lin Zhen did not refuse; he couldn't say no at this time, so he silently accepted the gold seal.

He would only be acting as the Clan Leader for a while, and when he found the right candidate, he would hand over the position.

Saga opened the Dimensional Universe and released a message to the entire clan.

"I am Saga, the 36,665th Clan Leader of the Fire Kirin Clan. Today, I was forced into Elder Qin's plot and am dying. Now, I am passing on the position of Fire Kirin Clan Leader to Lin Zhen. Everyone in the clan must obey the command and support the new Clan Leader."

With such a video, Lin Zhen's concerns could be put to rest.

Otherwise, Lin Zhen might be accused of plotting against the Clan Leader, but now that Saga himself testified, even if Elder Qin and the others die, it would be in vain.

The video was quickly forwarded to the Dimensional Universe, the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and various clans and nations in the universe, so they all knew about the change of the Fire Kirin Clan Leader.

After finishing all this, Saga held Lin Zhen's hand: "Whether you like the Fire Kirin Clan or not, our race is very weak in the Original World, struggling for survival in the cracks… I, as the Clan Leader, am not very capable and am still only at the Three Flowers Realm. The clan members have also followed me and been looked down upon. Lin Zhen… I, Saga, think I deserve you, you must not… not abandon the Fire Kirin Clan easily… Promise me!"

If Lin Zhen was unwilling before, but now facing Saga's dying plea, he felt somewhat ashamed.

Without the Fire Kirin Clan, without Saga's strong recommendation, he would not be able to enter the Holy Land.

And Saga insisted on accepting him into the clan, disregarding objections and wanting to pass on the position, Lin Zhen would not forget all this kindness.

Nodding solemnly, Lin Zhen said to Saga: "Clan Leader, don't worry, I will definitely lead the Fire Kirin Clan to glory."

"I believe in you… With that, I can close my eyes in peace… When I die, put me in the volcano. I didn't accomplish much in my life, but I discovered you… That is my… greatest achievement."

Upon saying that, Saga closed his eyes.

36665 Fire Kirin Clan Leader Saga, has left this world!

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, once again using the power of Holy Light to prevent Saga's skin from corroding, then raised his hand, and the freezing air surged, sealing Saga's corpse completely in ice.

After that, Lin Zhen stored the large ice block in his inner world, planning to follow Saga's last wish to bring him to the volcano and watch over the Fire Kirin Clan forever.

After dealing with Saga's affairs and taking the Kirin Clan's gold seal, Lin Zhen's gaze fell on Elder Qin.

Elder Qin was also dead by this time, the man who had persecuted Lin Zhen in every possible way, had finally died in such an unwilling self-destructive manner.

All the plans in the end resulted in a dismal ending. His life had been on a downhill path since meeting Lin Zhen, and it could be considered a tragedy.

But that perfect crystal was shining brightly within the Gathering Spirit Array.

Every living being on the high platform had perished, and under the power of the array, the flesh and blood of several Kyrins began to rapidly reassemble.

Streams of elemental power surged, forming muscles, bones, and tendons!

Seeing this, Lin Zhen jumped up on the high platform.

With his immune body, the blood mist on the high platform couldn't do any harm to him. Having had experience in refining avatars, he set his mind on it when he heard Elder Qin reveal his plan.

If an avatar was needed, then the unprecedented five-element Fire Kirin avatar would definitely be the best choice.

Reaching the forming body, Lin Zhen started modifying it.

The first step was blood infusion. An avatar without its master's fresh blood infusion would be lifeless and ownerless.

As he bit his finger, Lin Zhen's blood power filled and a large portion of his blood was infused into the avatar's body.

At the same time, Lin Zhen began to understand the mysteries of this avatar.

"Earth element…. Wind element…. Water element…. Fire element. The four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind should be the limit of the Fire Kirin's mutation because at the beginning of the Original World's creation, the initial energy had only earth, water, fire, and wind."

"The others, whether it's metal, wood, thunder and cloud mist, or light and darkness, are all evolved from the basics of earth, water, fire, and wind."

"After having these four basic elements, the avatar can condense the Four Elements Flower."

As the creation of the avatar continued to the Dantian part, sure enough, a Four Elements Flower began to gather in the Dantian.

However, this Four Elements Flower was somewhat different. It had sharp, fierce metal energy across it, giving off an extremely sharp feeling.

"Great! As the leader of the Five Elements, metal has incredibly powerful effects. With the metallic energy, this avatar's power will definitely be even stronger."

Lin Zhen was secretly excited, Elder Qin really knew how to research. He managed to find these five people, and the body they created was incredibly strong.

One muscle, one bone, one tendon was beginning to condense.

This was not just a human bloodline, but a combination of five Kirins. No, six, because Lin Zhen's own Black Hole Beast blood had also been infused, creating an incredibly powerful body with the bloodline of six different Kirins!

Every bone, every drop of blood was from Kyrins, various elemental energies tempering the avatar's body. The physical strength was growing rapidly, and before it was fully formed, Lin Zhen could imagine the immense explosive power it would exhibit.

As the palm formed, it could be a hand for a moment, and then transform into a Kirin's claw.

As the skin formed, it could be human skin for a moment, and then turn into the hard scales of a Kyrin.

Teeth could turn into sharp fangs, and hair could turn into flowing manes!

Lin Zhen's avatar had all the abilities and comprehension of Lin Zhen, except it couldn't use Black Hole Devour because the Black Hole couldn't be transferred to the avatar's body.

The avatar also had a Dantian. Due to Elder Qin's formation, the Star Power of these Kyrins had been retained here and were now all entering the avatar's body.

Each of the five people was at the peak of Longevity, and each of their Star Powers was in the tens of millions, even reaching twenty million.

The total Star Power of the five people eventually became the avatar's Star Power.

The avatar's realm was based on its main body. Lin Zhen was at the World King Level 7, and the avatar was at the Longevity Level 7.

Once the Dantian was fully formed, Lin Zhen knew the Star Power value of his avatar.

This Level 7 Longevity avatar had a Star Power value as high as 80 million!

The number 80 million was unimaginable for an ordinary Longevity being, only Lin Zhen could possess such a powerful avatar!

Next was the formation of the Spiritual Consciousness Sea. Lin Zhen's current Spiritual Power was at the Dark Gold Middle Stage, equal to his main body.

When the Spiritual Consciousness Sea was fully formed, the crystal inside the avatar's body suddenly appeared in the avatar's mind!

In an instant, a bright light flared from the avatar's forehead!

A small diamond-shaped crystal mark appeared on the avatar's brow.

As Star Power surged and elemental energies ascended, Lin Zhen knew that the most critical moment was coming. The avatar's body would soon gain life, and what special abilities it would obtain would depend on this moment!

Chapter 783: Chapter 786: A Surge in Power!

The Mutated Galaxy Beast differs from regular Galaxy Beasts in that a mutation usually results in some special abilities.

For example, Lin Zhen's Black Hole Devour is a classic case.

This clone, which was formed through the condensation of five elements, was unheard of before, and Lin Zhen doesn't know what abilities it will evolve.

The body was fully forged, and the perfect crystal was hidden in the center of the brow, as a dazzling light circulated throughout the body.

"The Divine Body! This perfect crystal helped the clone transform into a Super Divine Body!"

Without a Super Divine Body, a high star power is useless. Eighty million star power can only exert forty million, which isn't even as good as Lin Zhen's main body.

But with ninety percent of the Super Divine Body, it can exert seventy-two million star power, which is what constitutes a strong one.

Of course, Lin Zhen would prefer 100% utilization, but that's impossible. Lin Zhen is the only one who can fully utilize star power.

Having evolved into a Super Divine Body, Lin Zhen's clone had also developed its special abilities.

It has two special abilities, and one of them is gold attachment.

Attaching gold means attaching golden energy to the body and weapons.

When the body is covered, a powerful defense is formed. The scales of the Kirin race are naturally strong in defense. After attaching gold, they can form invulnerable armor.

Lin Zhen displayed his gold attachment, and his scales instantly turned to gold.

He pulls out the Sky-cutting Divine Sword and strikes a blow.

A crisp metallic collision resonates, the Sky-cutting Divine Sword is bounced off, leaving a pale mark on the scales.

"It can resist the attack of regular spiritual treasures; the defensive power of these scales is beyond belief."

Besides being able to cover the scales, gold can also cover weapons. With the enhancement of golden power, this clone will become a brave vanguard charging into the fray.

The second special ability is to use the perfect crystal to transport the elemental power inside the body, mixing it with star power and spraying it out to form a powerful elemental energy beam.

Lin Zhen didn't have a place to test the power of the energy beam right now, but he had a feeling that its power was comparable to that of the Destructive God Thunder!

Destructive God Thunder is one of Lin Zhen's strongest moves, but there are only three, so he uses them very carefully.

When he used the Divine Thunder Trinity to kill Heigu on the stage last time, Lin Zhen has yet to give birth to a new thunder.

The power of this energy beam is inferior to that of the Divine Thunder Trinity, but it isn't much weaker than a single Divine Thunder, and its power should be very close.

The restrictions are also greatly reduced. With the power of the Four Elements Flower inside the clone's body, it won't be a problem to blast off twenty or thirty shots at once, and it can be recovered after one training session.

With the Four Elements Flower, the clone can quickly absorb the powers of earth, water, fire, and wind from the universe and convert them into star power. So, the clone's endurance in battle even surpasses the main body!

The appearance of this trick made Lin Zhen overjoyed. With the emergence of this energy beam, the clone's combat power will reach a very high level.

Lin Zhen named this move Kirin Cannon. His mouth is the muzzle, his body is the platform, and the energy beam is the shell. He dares not say more, but one shell can definitely shatter a satellite the size of the Moon!

Don't think that this cannon can only fire cannons, it can also shoot.

With the Four Elements Flower, it can not only form energy beams but also small energy balls similar to bullets.

With the perfect crystal acting as a converter, the clone can not only launch shells but also shoot.

It's hard to test the power of the energy beam, but it's okay to test the gun.

Lin Zhen tested his newly acquired ability in Elder Qin's hall.

He opened his mouth, the star power surged, and the elemental power flowed towards the crystal within his brow. After being transformed by the crystal, it was emitted from his mouth. This process was very fast.

"Tut-tut-tut-tut~~!"

A storm of colorful bullets was shot from the clone's mouth!

Each bullet was far more powerful than an intercontinental ballistic missile on Earth, and thousands of bullets were fired in a single second!

Elder Qin's many years of nurturing fire forest was destroyed in an instant.

Everything that the bullet storm passed was destroyed effortlessly.

With one bullet, a large area of the fire forest was destroyed. Those sturdy trunks were like rubble. A ring of bullets fired, and all the fire forests, together with Elder Qin's manor, were leveled to the ground!

Clusters of elemental energy ravaged the area, the earth cracked, flames soared, and the whole area was turned into ruins.

"What powerful… powerful elemental energy bullets!"

"I can even control the elemental properties of the bullets, launching fire bullets, ice bullets, and even metal bullets!"

"Back on Earth, some martial artists practiced using firearms, but firearms have too many limitations. When they reach the War God level, firearms are basically useless. But today, my firearm-like attack will definitely echo throughout the Original World!"

This move can't be considered another special ability. It's a technique that Lin Zhen researched himself, based on the Kirin Cannon and the ability of the perfect crystal, recalling the bullet storm from Earth.

Since there is already a Kirin Cannon, this move is called Kirin Gun.

One has to admit that Elder Qin was quite capable, or rather he was a man with a plan, deviously setting up such a trap, enticing the five Kirins to fight each other, and eventually create this Super Divine Body. However, he did not anticipate that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry, and Lin Zhen arrived at the crucial moment, killing all the enemies at once and additionally, obtaining this Divine Body.

The Divine Body does not need cultivation because it shares the same bloodline with Lin Zhen. As long as Lin Zhen's realm advances, the Divine Body will also conveniently advance, just like Xiao Nuan.

Lin Zhen is currently at the Seventh-level World King. Once he advances to Level 9, the Divine Body will reach the peak of Longevity Realm.

And if Lin Zhen breaks through to Longevity Realm, the Divine Body will enter the Three-Flowers Early Stage.

The Divine Body's special abilities consist of Elemental energy, Kirin Cannon, and Kirin Gun.

The Super Divine Body, ninety percent of star power performance, reaching a staggering 80 million star power, all these facts make Lin Zhen extremely delighted.

Of course, there is also the last trick, the transformation of the Divine Body into Kirin form.

"Wake up, my Divine Body!"

Lin Zhen has long been able to control two Divine Bodies at once. With just a thought, the Divine Body opened its eyes.

Its eyes manifested with a radiant spirit and then turned into cold beast pupils. Its body shuddered, transforming into an immense, multicolored Kirin that was ten meters tall and over thirty meters long.

"Roar~!"

It let out a heaven-shaking roar. This multicolored Kirin ran a few steps in the ruins, demonstrating its powerful aura that made everyone in the Fire Kirin Holy Land feel immersed in a profound pressure.

All involuntarily bowed, their bodies trembling a bit. The beasts' instincts told them that the Kirin releasing this aura is definitely a higher tier and more powerful being than them.

"Who is it? Could it be the clan leader?"

"Didn't the clan leader die?"

"Have you lost your mind? The current clan leader is Lin Zhen, the Fire Kirin Clan has gone through a significant change."

"Heavens! This aura is so astounding. Isn't Clan Leader Lin Zhen a Black Hole Beast? Why does it feel like a formidable mutant Fire Kirin again?"

"Hope, I sensed hope from the roar of the clan leader. With such a powerful clan leader, the rise of the Fire Kirin Clan is just around the corner!"

People's eyes were full of hope. The Original World is a world of the strong. Having a powerful individual as the leader is something that everyone had been hoping for and were overjoyed to see.

The Divine Body transformed, causing Lin Zhen's body to shudder and also transform into the Black Hole Beast.

The Black Hole Beast hovered above his head, surrounded by a star nebula. The aura of the Black Hole Beast was equally astounding.

With two massive beasts roaring together, they heralded the advent of the Fire Kirin Clan's new leader.

Lin Zhen did this to serve as a warning to others within the clan, informing them that the Fire Kirin has a new owner. Since Lin Zhen has taken the position of clan leader, he will not tolerate any dissent.

Today, if anyone dares to question his authority and status, Lin Zhen will not hesitate to kill them!

After venting a bit of his excitement, Lin Zhen's Divine Body and the main body simultaneously reverted into human form.

The Divine Body was as tall as the main body, looking exactly the same.

Without Lin Zhen using elemental energy, there was no discernible difference in appearance between the Divine Body and the main body.

Moreover, the Divine Body could conceal its realm. By retracting some of its aura, it looked from the outside like a Seventh-level World King.

Looking at the Divine Body, which bore no difference in appearance from himself, Lin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief.

Having the Divine Body made things much more convenient for Lin Zhen.

With the Divine Body acting outside, Lin Zhen could concentrate on cultivating in his Inner World.

Lin Zhen isn't lacking any combat skills now, but what he's lacking is realm progress. If he was a Longevity Peak and had a Three-Flowers Realm Divine Body, he could solely focus his energy on earning money to purchase the Wormhole Egg and bring his family back to the New World.

Thus, Lin Zhen urgently needed to cultivate. His cultivation was simple, he just needed to neutralize the drug-effects in his body and then swallow another elixir to advance.

As long as he had time to concentrate on cultivating, Lin Zhen could advance to Level 8 World King, and his star power could reach 50 million, before he returned to the Holy Land.

He left things like the Kirin Clan's gold seal, Sky-cutting Divine Sword, and so forth to the Divine Body, and the main body, with a flicker, directly entered the Inner World.

Returning to the Dark Star, Lin Zhen sat in front of the Twinborn Lotus at the North Pole.

He was about to begin his cultivation, also studying the power of ice, striving to learn absolute zero someday.

As the main body began cultivating, the Divine Body was now outside, active.

The Divine Body put on the main body's clothes, scanned the surrounding ruins, and picked up the ice block of the Ice Sealed Saga.

Since he's now the clan leader, he should contribute to the Kirin Clan.

He would place Saga's body into the volcano and return it to the flames, just like humans are buried into the ground for peace.

"All members of the Fire Kirin Clan, I'm Lin Zhen, your new clan leader. All those within the clan now, gather at the entrance of the Fire Palace immediately. There can be no mistake!"

Carrying the ice block, the newly appointed Fire Kirin Clan Leader, Lin Zhen, stride away.

He hoped that, on this day, no fool would dare to provoke him.

Chapter 784: Chapter 787: The Surging Enemies

The commotion caused by Lin Zhen alarmed many people.

For the entire Original World, the Fire Kirin Clan changing their clan leader wasn't a big deal. However, for those who were familiar with Lin Zhen, it was extremely shocking.

The Alchemist Guild, Star River Giant Beast Alliance, Da Qin Empire, Nan Liang Empire, Falling Star Lake Holy Land, and everyone who knew Lin Zhen were paying attention to this matter.

On Star-Picking Island, when Qian Tong learned the news, he angrily smashed the elixirs he was about to refine on the table!

"Lightning, what's going on? I already told you that Lin Zhen had left Falling Star Lake. Didn't you say earlier that you were going to intercept him? How did he still manage to reach the Fire Kirin Clan? And even become the clan leader? Weren't you supposed to be unmatched in speed? How come you couldn't catch a little Lin Zhen!"

In the dense forest of Heavenly Ridge, a Dragon Clan member with light and lightning attributes was circling around, looking for Lin Zhen. However, he heard the news of Lin Zhen becoming the clan leader.

He was extremely annoyed in his heart. Due to a moment of carelessness, Lin Zhen had escaped under his watch. This made his heart overflow with anger.

As expected, Qian Tong soon sent a message, starting with a burst of mockery.

Lightning waited for Qian Tong to finish speaking before slowly saying, "Saint Master, it's too late to talk about these things now. It's not that I can't deal with Lin Zhen, but the mistake has already been made, and there's no way to change it. Currently, Lin Zhen has returned to the Kirin Clan. If I go there by myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything. Those Kirins can tear me apart once they swarm."

Qian Tong obviously knew about this too. To send Lightning alone to the Fire Kirin Clan to kill Lin Zhen would undoubtedly be sending him to his death.

But Qian Tong would absolutely not let Lin Zhen go easily, even if he was in the Kirin Clan.

"The Fire Kirin is not a powerful race among the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. After all, the locations of each Kirin Clan's tribe are scattered. Some other Kirin Clans are not even in the Da Qin Empire. If we calculate their strength seriously, the Fire Kirin is not strong."

Qian Tong calmed down for a while and began to analyze the situation with Lightning.

"Lin Zhen's position is usually elusive, and it's difficult to find a chance to kill him. Now he's right there, and since he just became the clan leader, he certainly can't leave. Lightning, wait there, I'll find someone to support you."

Lightning was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Gather a group of strong ones, go straight to the Kirin Clan, and kill Lin Zhen once and for all!"

"Oh! Saint Master, do you really have the guts? Aren't you afraid of becoming enemies with the Kirin Clan and the Star River Giant Beast Alliance?"

"Lightning, you don't have to say it like that. The Fire Kirin can't represent the entire Kirin Clan, and the Kirin Clan can't represent the entire Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Just take your Dragon Clan, for example. If the Fire Kirin is in trouble, you probably won't lift a finger to help, would you?"

"Hahaha! Saint Master is right, our Dragon Clan has never been on friendly terms with the Kirins."

"Humph! Moreover, I don't plan to massacre the entire Fire Kirin Clan. The cost of that would be too great, and the aftermath would be too much. Lin Zhen has just become the clan leader, and his prestige must not have won over everyone yet. If I find people to kill him now, I doubt many Fire Kirins would be willing to die for him. However, if we wait for him to gain a foothold in the Fire Kirin Clan, that's when the trouble starts."

Lightning nodded secretly, agreeing with Qian Tong's point. If they gave Lin Zhen time, he might turn the Fire Kirin Clan into an iron plate, and there would be no way to deal with him.

Now that he hadn't gained a foothold yet, it was the best time to take action.

"Well, I'll wait here then. When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"Don't worry, the Fire Kirin Clan is in Da Qin territory. In Da Qin, I can always recruit a large army to deal with Lin Zhen. Just wait, by this afternoon at the latest, my people will arrive. By then, you will lead them straight to the Fire Kirin Clan and kill Lin Zhen on the spot. Whoever dares to block your way, show no mercy!"

"Hehe! That's very straightforward. I'll wait then."

After disconnecting from the Dimensional Universe, Lightning stayed in a place ten thousand kilometers away from the Fire Kirin Clan, waiting for the reinforcements Qian Tong would find.

After his call with Lightning, Qian Tong immediately began to look for reinforcements.

Qian Tong's position in the Qin Kingdom was extremely high. As a Saint Master, countless people had benefited from him.

Although he was currently imprisoned in the Holy Land, it was only for a hundred years. For martial artists, such a short period of time was nothing. He was still the National Master of Qin.

In the Dimensional Universe, his first contact was with the guest officials of his own family.

He had a large group of guest officials in his family, with more than a thousand people. Among them, there were more than a dozen Three Flowers Warriors.

However, he couldn't find all of them. This time, he looked for the most reliable ones.

After all, killing a member of the Kirin Clan would bring some trouble if others found out that he was behind it. In particular, Lin Zhen wasn't just the clan leader of the Kirin Clan, but also a Holy Land Warrior. His expulsion was only temporary, and he would return in a few days. Qian Tong had to be more careful.

He only managed to find ten absolutely loyal Three Flowers Warriors. These ten people were all controlled by his drugs and considered his loyalists.

In addition to these ten loyalists, he also sought mercenaries by spending money.

The employment was under someone else's name, but it was Qian Tong who paid for it.

There were many mercenaries in the Original World, and as long as you paid for it, you could find them. Qian Tong was going all out in order to deal with Lin Zhen this time.

He spent billions of dollars and hired tens of thousands of people!

They were almost all Longevity Stage martial artists. Qian Tong believed that even ants could kill an elephant if there were enough of them. Lin Zhen was just a World King, and there was no way he could resist the attack of a large group of Longevity Warriors.

Additionally, Qian Tong also found four super experts.

All four of them were from the Star River Giant Beast clans, including a Demon Master Clan, Xuanwu Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, and White Tiger Clan.

These four people, along with the Dragon Clan's Lightning, were the ones that Qian Tong had previously tried to find to kill Lin Zhen. Unfortunately, only Lightning had found Lin Zhen but failed to kill him.

These five people were all from the Holy Lands, and their strength was much stronger than most of the warriors studying in the Holy Lands.

Moreover, having other Star River Giant Beasts join forces to attack Lin Zhen made it even more difficult for anyone to tell who exactly wanted to take Lin Zhen's life.

As long as Lin Zhen died, there wouldn't be anyone who would risk their lives to avenge him, and the truth of the matter would remain unknown.

Unless the Holy Land's Five Young Masters investigated it, the truth could not be concealed. However, in Qian Tong's view, Jin Nuo didn't seem to care much about Lin Zhen, or else he wouldn't have expelled him just for fighting.

At least compared to Lin Zhen, Qian Tong, a Saint-Level Alchemist, could undoubtedly bring more help to the Holy Land. Even if his involvement was exposed one day, the Five Young Masters wouldn't do anything to him. He would just have to practice alchemy for a few more years, and Qian Tong was very confident about that.

Tens of thousands of Longevity Realm warriors, five Three Flowers Realm Star River Giant Beasts, plus the ten Three Flowers Stage death warriors that he had hidden among the mercenaries—if they still couldn't kill Lin Zhen, Qian Tong would dare to write his own name backward.

The employment process was exceptionally smooth. Five million for hiring a Longevity Stage warrior to go to the Kirin Clan and kill Lin Zhen—this news caused an explosion in the mercenary world of Qin.

"That's amazing! Someone wants to kill Lin Zhen."

"Five million per person, and they're only recruiting ten thousand people. I'm in!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too! Even if they don't pay me a penny, I'd be willing to take the chance to kill Lin Zhen. I don't know who released this news, but I love it."

"Haha! The chance for revenge has come. I'm willing to take this opportunity for the people of Qin and go to the Kirin Clan to kill Lin Zhen."

"What's so great about being a clan leader, or a Holy Land Warrior? Taking people's money in exchange for eliminating their disasters, the Holy Land will only seek revenge on the person who released the task. I'll go too!"

The recruitment was very successful, and the number of applicants filled up within minutes.

Each mercenary who signed up received a deposit of 2.5 million and then received the mission location, which was the Fire Kirin Clan.

Groups of mercenaries left Qin City and marched grandly into Heavenly Ridge, heading towards the Fire Kirin Clan.

The identity of the person who released the task was a mystery, but everyone knew that they must be wealthy to afford hiring ten thousand people at five million per person, totaling 50 billion. People were sure that this person must be a tycoon.

However, this was not important. The enthusiasm of the people of Qin to eliminate Lin Zhen was enough for them to forget everything else. It would be such a fantastic event to be able to rampage in the Fire Kirin Clan and bring down their newly appointed Clan Leader.

The Dimensional Universe's convenient communication allowed the Original World to share information. The news of Lin Zhen becoming a clan leader and someone hiring mercenaries to deal with him took place within just half an hour.

Even before Lin Zhen issued the assembly for the entire Fire Kirin Clan, Qian Tong's hiring had already started.

There were two opinions within the Fire Kirin Clan about Lin Zhen becoming a clan leader.

One was from the young people. They had witnessed Lin Zhen's various miracles and were very proud of him. As young people, they were also pleased with Lin Zhen becoming the Clan Leader.

The other voice came from the older Fire Kirin Clan members, mostly those aged tens of thousands of years or above, mainly consisting of several elders in the Elder Council. These older members had strong abilities, and though Lin Zhen had become the Clan Leader, they thought that his age and low realm were not enough to convince others.

However, Saga's dying words had been heard by everyone, so they couldn't use this as a reason to oppose Lin Zhen's succession.

Just as a few elderly Fire Kirin Clan elders were discussing how to find a way to prevent Lin Zhen from succeeding, news of someone hiring mercenaries to deal with Lin Zhen had arrived.

Instead of being afraid, these elders saw it as an opportunity.

If Lin Zhen took the position of the Clan Leader and was immediately attacked by mercenaries, it would naturally mean that he couldn't be the Clan Leader.

One of the thick-browed, big-eyed elders waved his hand: "Let's go, brothers. It's time for us to step in. A yellow-mouthed kid has no right to be the Clan Leader. Let's drive him off the stage right away, so he doesn't bring disaster to the Fire Kirin Clan!"

Chapter 785: Chapter 788: Draw the Gun! (Third Update)

Lin Zhen carried Saga's corpse, stepped on the void, and came to the Fire Palace.

He didn't enter the Fire Palace immediately. Even though he had succeeded as the chieftain, he still needed to meet with the clan members, get to know them, and entering the Fire Palace right away would give people a bad impression and make them feel like he was too eager to be the chieftain.

Standing in front of the steps of the Fire Palace, behind him was the colossal World Stone.

At Lin Zhen's summons, the people of the Fire Kirin Clan gradually gathered in front of the Fire Palace.

However, these clan members did not seem as enthusiastic as imagined. Their gazes at Lin Zhen were filled with scrutiny, inspection, and even pity, making Lin Zhen feel a bit strange.

The Fire Kirin Clan was not very populous. After all, kirins, such rare Galaxy Beasts, were few in number. The entire Fire Kirin Clan had only a little over ten thousand members.

Lin Zhen stood in front of the Fire Palace, looking at the sparse crowd below, and asked, "Is everyone here yet?"

The one who answered him was a young man who had previously spoken with Lin Zhen. He seemed to have a good impression of Lin Zhen and replied, "Chieftain, basically everyone is here, it's just the few elders haven't arrived yet."

"Oh, how many elders do we have in our clan?"

"Chieftain, we have a total of four elders in our clan, they are Elder Li, Elder Wang, Elder Sima, and Elder Qin, however, it seems that Elder Qin has already…"

"He's already dead."

"Then there are only three elders and none of them are here yet."

Lin Zhen frowned slightly, wondering what these few elders were up to. Were they trying to show him who's boss? He had just taken office as the chieftain and they were acting like this.

However, Lin Zhen didn't intend to argue with them. Since he had just taken office as the chieftain, it was better to gather everyone's hearts first.

After waiting for a full ten minutes and the three elders still hadn't arrived, Lin Zhen grew impatient and asked the young man, "What's your name?"

"Reporting to the chieftain, my name is Lin Chuang."

"Oh!" Lin Zhen showed a smile, "It's quite a coincidence that you're also a Lin. In that case, you go and find out what the few elders are doing, and let them come here immediately."

"Yes, Chieftain." Lin Chuang happily left to carry out the order.

"No need, Xiao Linzi. We old bones are a bit slow, and it's understandable for us to walk slowly. As expected, a young person like you can't keep calm." As he spoke, a few elders arrived by stepping on the void, with Elder Li in the middle and Elder Wang and Elder Sima beside him.

Lin Zhen's eyebrows furrowed, it was obvious that those words weren't meant for Lin Chuang. It seemed that these people really didn't intend to give him any face.

That's fine, he would see what they were capable of. He was the chieftain now, and if they dared to continue being so presumptuous, Lin Zhen didn't mind teaching them a lesson.

The three elders landed from the air and wobbled through the crowd to stand in front of Lin Zhen.

Elder Li looked Lin Zhen up and down, "You're Lin Zhen?"

Lin Zhen laughed, "Before you start talking to me, shouldn't you call me 'chieftain' and then introduce yourself by name? Haven't you seen the video of Clan Leader Saga's final moments?"

Elder Li was choked for a moment, and Elder Wang beside him immediately said, "Of course we've seen the video, otherwise, we wouldn't have come when you summoned us. But as an elder of the Fire Kirin Clan, I want to ask you, do you think your strength is enough to lead the rise of the Fire Kirin Clan?"

Elder Sima also said, "That's right, our Fire Kirin Clan's status in the Star River Giant Beast Alliance isn't very high, and we need a strong leader to lead us towards glory. Although your strength, Lin Zhen, is barely passable, when it comes to being a chieftain…I'm afraid there are many others in the clan who are more suitable than you."

Elder Wang added, "In Martial Artists World, strength is king. Lin Zhen, you're still young and have a long way to go. Why don't you take your time and return to the Holy Land for a hundred years of cultivation before coming back to talk? In the meantime, we won't have a chieftain, and anyway, a hundred years will pass quickly, how do you feel about this?"

Lin Zhen sneered. If he were to go back for a hundred years, by the time he returned, the Fire Kirin Clan would probably have a new leader, and no one would recognize him anymore.

Even if he didn't want to be the chieftain, he couldn't lose to these elders now.

But before Lin Zhen could say anything, Elder Li, who had just been choked by Lin Zhen's words, said coldly, "The clan leader handed the position to you, but we need to see if the clan members support you. Raise your hand if you support Lin Zhen as the chieftain."

Lin Zhen's gaze fell, and he saw only Lin Chuang raise his hand, and apart from him, there were only a sparse few dozen people.

Seeing the situation, Lin Zhen was taken aback. Although he was new, he didn't think he would have so few supporters. There must have been something he wasn't aware of.

Elder Li sneered, "See, your strength isn't enough, and everyone won't recognize you. Do you think you're suitable to be a chieftain under such circumstances?"

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, knowing that at this point, he had to prove his strength.

Moreover, it couldn't be a fight with someone else, for a comitting fratricide chieftain would not be supported at all.

Looking around, Lin Zhen saw the World Stone behind him.

He lifted his foot, and with a light jump, landed on the World Stone.

On the World Stone, the Landis Spear that made Lin Zhen's heart race was inserted.

"What are you going to do? Didn't you already try pulling that spear? If you can't pull it, don't try again." Elder Wang shouted.

Elder Li pulled Elder Wang back, "Why do you care so much? In a moment when he can't pull the spear again, he'll naturally have no face to stay. As long as he hands over the chieftain's seal, we can expel him, so he won't know about the arrival of the mercenaries, and use the chieftain's identity to resist, causing us all to suffer."

They didn't immediately reveal the mercenaries' arrival, fearing that Lin Zhen would learn of it and become even more unwilling to hand over the chieftain position.

Now Lin Zhen was actively trying to pull the spear again, it was just what they wanted.

In their opinion, Lin Zhen was just struggling in despair. He had just failed to pull the spear, and now he was trying again, who in the world could do such a thing?

So they just watched the drama unfold with amusement.

When Lin Zhen stepped onto the World Stone, his eyes could no longer see anything else.

The ancient long spear in front of him gleamed with a faint blue light, and the rough spear shaft somehow gave him a particular sense of reliability.

He reached out to grip the spear shaft, and it trembled slightly.

Lin Zhen closed his eyes, feeling quietly.

Within the spear shaft, the Four Elements Flower faintly appeared, resonating strangely with the Four Elements Flower inside Lin Zhen's body.

In an instant, elemental energy flickered all over Lin Zhen's body, causing the ancient spear, which had been stuck here since ancient times, to tremble and emit an obscure humming sound!

This scene left everyone dumbfounded!

It was well known that, since the day the long spear was stuck here, no one had been able to make it waver in the slightest, let alone cause it to tremble and hum like this.

"How is that possible? The Spear of Landis actually moved!"

"Resonance! How can this spear resonate with someone else? Isn't there a Four Elements Flower inside the spear shaft? Without activating the power of the Four Elements Flower, it's impossible to pull out the spear!"

"Lin Zhen is the Black Hole Beast, not a mutated Four Elements Kylin, how did he do it?"

The crowd below was noisy, but it didn't affect Lin Zhen. After gripping the spear shaft, Lin Zhen felt a trace of soul power.

That was the lingering memory of Landis' soul, hidden within the Four Elements Flower.

Since Lin Zhen's Black Hole Devouring had already devoured Heigu two months ago, he could not devour another soul. So, when he grasped the long spear and sensed Landis's soul, he was unable to devour it.

However, Lin Zhen was not afraid. If it came down to the strength of the soul, he truly did not fear anyone.

Moreover, he could feel that this soul's power seemed to bear no malice.

There were no words, no sound, only an elusive, intangible shadow surrounding the Four Elements Flower, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Lin Zhen remained silent, quietly feeling the emotions contained within the other's soul.

He could clearly feel Landis' love for his race. A true hero who dedicated everything to his tribe, he earned the title of the Fire Kirin Clan erecting a statue of him at their door.

"Landis, please rest assured, with this long spear in my hands, I'll make sure it shines as it deserves. Since I've taken over as the Fire Kirin's chieftain, I, Lin Zhen, will do my best for the Fire Kirin Clan, for Clan Chief Saga and for you."

At this moment, Lin Zhen's previous feelings of perfunctoriness vanished.

Now that he had become the Black Hole Beast by chance, he was inextricably linked with the Fire Kirin Clan. Lin Zhen felt that his home had been in the New World before, but starting today, he had a home in the Original World, a large family, the Fire Kirin Clan.

As these sincere emotions arose in Lin Zhen's heart, a miracle happened!

A memory was forcibly imprinted in Lin Zhen's mind!

This was not obtained through Lin Zhen's Black Hole Devouring, but given voluntarily by the other party.

The memory contained a set of spear techniques Landis used during his lifetime.

The name of the spear technique was Time, an original creation by Landis, containing the unique ultimate technique of the four elements – Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

This spear technique had four moves: Spring Earth, Summer Stream Fire, Autumn Wind, and Winter's Chill.

With the combination of the Four Elements Flower, the power of this spear technique even exceeded that of ordinary Holy Land Martial Arts!

Others couldn't learn this spear technique, and even if they could, they wouldn't be able to use it because only Lin Zhen had the unique Four Elements Flower in the world.

A virtual silhouette demonstrated the spear technique in Lin Zhen's mind, allowing him to comprehend it quickly. This was the last power of Landis' soul.

In a blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.

Underneath the World Stone, Elder Li and the others had become impatient.

Lin Zhen went on to make a little disturbance, then grabbed the spear shaft and stood still. They wondered if he could pull it out, or at least explain what was the matter since he hadn't moved.

Elder Li cast a glance at a few people, who immediately started arguing and verbally attacking Lin Zhen on the giant rock.

"Can you do it or not? If not, just come down!"

"Exactly, what's with all this dragging on, are we all supposed to wait for you?"

"You've become the chieftain, but you shouldn't play around with everyone like this. Maybe you don't know what's going on yet?"

Amidst the noise, Lin Zhen slowly opened his eyes.

"No matter what happened before, from now on, it won't matter anymore!"

"Rise!"

Lin Zhen suddenly shouted, and a ray of light burst from where the spear and giant rock connected, quickly transforming into countless rays of light, like the brilliant, dazzling and hopeful light breaking through the dawn!

Chapter 786: Chapter 789: Facing the Enemy!

With Lin Zhen's roar, the Divine Spear that had been embedded in the World Stone for countless years was actually pulled out by him!

Having witnessed this scene, some elder members of the Kirin Clan were so excited that they knelt down!

"Heaven bless the clan leader! This is the real leader!"

"What did I just see? The clan leader actually pulled out the Landis Spear! You know, no one has been able to pull it out for billions of years!"

"Clan leader! Clan leader!"

In the midst of cheering, Lin Zhen raised the Landis Spear in his hand.

This spear is the top quality among the spirit treasures. With this spear in hand, Lin Zhen's close combat ability is simply off the charts!

With a flick of his wrist, a cascade of radiance emanated. Lin Zhen held the spear upside down, scanning the crowd.

Thrilled Kirin clansmen gathered around, shouting Lin Zhen's name and calling him the clan leader. At this moment, Lin Zhen had truly gained a foothold in the Kirin Clan.

"I wonder if the elders still think that I am not suitable to be the clan leader?"

Elder Li and the others never expected Lin Zhen to be able to pull out the Landis Spear. The situation they had previously controlled had been reversed.

Elder Wang and Elder Sima looked at Elder Li, unsure of what to do.

Elder Li's face was gloomy as he checked the Dimensional Universe.

In the Dimensional Universe, Elder Li saw that the mercenaries who came to the Kirin Clan were already on their way. Within ten minutes, they would definitely be at the entrance of the Kirin Clan.

At this time, Lin Zhen had just stepped down from the giant rock. Elder Li snorted coldly: "Lin Zhen, don't act like a clan leader in front of me. I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to sit on the position of the clan leader before being decapitated."

"What are you talking about?"

With a smug look, Elder Li said, "It seems that you're still in the dark. Don't think that pulling out the Landis Spear makes your position secure. There are already people in the Dimensional Universe who have hired mercenaries to deal with you. I just took a look at their progress, and they'll be here at the Kirin Clan soon."

Lin Zhen hadn't checked the situation in the Dimensional Universe, so he quickly opened it and saw the recruitment post on the Qin Kingdom forum.

"5 million per recruit of Longevity Realm! Go to the Kirin Clan and kill the new clan leader Lin Zhen!"

There were already tens of millions of replies below, and ten thousand mercenaries had been recruited an hour and a half ago. They had already set off for a long time and were expected to arrive soon.

From Qin City to here, using the teleportation array, two hours was enough.

"5 million per recruit, that's quite a big budget. There aren't many people with that financial power."

With a little thought, Lin Zhen was almost certain of the identity of the person.

Apart from Qian Tong, the Saint-Level Alchemist, no one else had the ability to deal with him in this way.

After taking a glance, Lin Zhen closed the Dimensional Universe and looked at the people in the room.

"It seems you all know about this."

"That's right, this news has already spread everywhere. So, Lin Zhen, I still advise you to give up your position as clan leader voluntarily. It's not that we don't respect the old clan leader's will, but as members of the Fire Kirin Clan, we must put the whole clan first. If you step down and leave, not involving us, what's so special about pulling out the Landis Spear? If it brings disaster to the Kirin Clan, you're still unqualified."

Elder Li said this triumphantly, thinking that there was no doubt that Lin Zhen would step down.

However, he had underestimated the Kirin clan's support for Lin Zhen's feat of pulling out the spear. Lin Chuang was the first to stand beside Lin Zhen: "Elder Li, don't try to speak for those mercenaries. Lin Zhen is the chosen successor of Clan Leader Saga and has pulled out the Landis Spear. Who else is qualified if he is not? Do you think you're good enough?"

Elder Li, his veins bulging with anger, said, "When did I say I wanted to be the clan leader?"

"If you don't say it, others can see it too. But now our clan leader is Lin Zhen. If the mercenaries come, they come. We, the warriors of the Fire Kirin Clan, will not be afraid of them. Rest assured, clan leader, we will help you defend against the enemy later."

"Yeah, yeah! We will definitely protect the clan leader."

Many young people chattered, Lin Zhen's pulling out the spear on the spot really had a great impact, at least everyone's attitude towards him had completely changed.

Elder Li saw that everyone had gone to Lin Zhen's side, and his trembling fingers pointed at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're using pulling the spear to win over people's hearts, but in fact, you want to use everyone as cannon fodder. There are tens of thousands of enemies, and there are no more than 20,000 of us in the Fire Kirin Clan. Even if we can defeat the invaders, how many people will be decapitated because of this? Is this what you've brought to everyone as clan leader?"

Elder Wang also chimed in, "That's right, what we want is peaceful and safe cultivation, not involving our clan in war. Just for this, you, Lin Zhen, are unqualified!"

Lin Chuang and others had already sided with Lin Zhen after he pulled out the spear and were about to refute the elders, but Lin Zhen stopped them with a wave of his hand.

"Regardless of your motives, what you said is not wrong. If I let the clanspeople fight together, even if we win this battle, it will not be a success. I should take care of my own affairs."

Lin Zhen's gaze swept over the clan members: "However, I am your clan leader after all. Since I am going to fight, you, as my clanspeople, should also make some effort. Now, all the clanspeople, please stand behind me and support me!"

As someone tried to speak again, Lin Zhen waved his hand: "No more words, I will not allow anyone to intervene in this battle. I will also meet the enemy outside the door of the Kirin Clan. If I lose, it will have nothing to do with the Fire Kirin Clan. If I win, we will celebrate together! Remember, this is the clan leader's command."

When Lin Zhen gave the order like this, the others didn't dare to say much more. This new clan leader seemed to be a decisive person.

In the end, Lin Zhen looked at the elders: "You all always think that I'm not suitable, and I, Lin Zhen, am not someone who repays grievances with kindness. If I do repel the enemy, don't expect to continue holding the position of elder!"

The expressions of Elder Li and the others changed, but in their opinion, Lin Zhen couldn't get through this hurdle. With so many experts on the other side, it was impossible for Lin Zhen to resist. At this time, they also said with great bravado: "Fine! If you win, Lin Zhen, we will automatically step down and leave the Fire Kirin Clan!"

"That's settled, then!"

Lin Zhen stopped talking and walked towards the area outside the Panpas volcano.

He quickly exited the Fire Kirin's territory and left the protective mountain formation.

The people of the Fire Kirin also followed Lin Zhen, but they were all ordered by Lin Zhen to stand at the door and watch from a distance, not coming closer.

A gust of wind blew in front of them, stirring up flying yellow sand, creating a desolate and bleak scene in the volcanic area.

Lin Zhen stood in the open wilderness, waiting for the enemy's arrival.

The five Galaxy Beasts, led by the Electric Light Beast, flew at the forefront of the team.

Behind them, a massive group of 10,000 Longevity Warriors soared, resembling a swarm of locusts blocking the sky's light.

These 10,000 Longevity Stage warriors, along with the five Three Flowers Peak experts from their Holy Lands, were enough to sweep through any ordinary nation.

As a small branch of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, the Fire Kirin couldn't possibly stop their advance.

At the side of Electric Light Beast, there were Demon Lion Clan's Nine Spirits, Vermilion Bird Clan's Red Witch, Xuanwu Clan's Taishan, and White Tiger Clan's Dao Sha. These were all among the best in their clans.

Unlike those rookies who had just stepped into the Holy Land, these were elite super experts who had grown through countless life and death battles.

It cost Qian Tong fifty billion to hire 10,000 Longevity Realm warriors, and another two hundred and fifty billion to hire these five people!

The value of these five absolutely surpassed 10,000 Longevity warriors!

Even the value of any one of them was equal to 10,000 Longevity warriors!

As the only Saint-Level Alchemist, Qian Tong had a lot of money, and this time he was determined to thoroughly eliminate Lin Zhen at all costs.

"Nine Spirits, Red Witch, Taishan, Dao Sha, we're all working together this time. Do you have any ideas?"

Demon Lion Clan's Nine Spirits shook his head a few times. He was a mutated Super Star River Beast Nine-Headed Lion with a rough voice: "Not much of an idea, we only need to use our heads when our strength is insufficient. Now that the five of us are taking action, even if the entire Fire Kirin Clan comes forward, they might not be able to resist. What's the point of scheming? Just go and kill them."

Vermilion Bird Clan's Red Witch, the only female, dressed in a red robe, seductively nodded: "I heard that Lin Zhen is a handsome young man. If I have the chance, I want to play with him alone. You guys don't interfere."

Taishan, a tall and strong man, patted his chest: "I'll simply crush Lin Zhen with my own hands."

White Tiger Clan's Dao Sha waved the Lingbao Tiger Head Saber in his hand: "It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to go on a killing spree."

Electric Light Beast laughed: "If you're willing to go on a killing spree, you can do so on your own later. If the Kirin Clan doesn't collectively resist, we'll just eliminate Lin Zhen."

"You're the team leader, your word is final," said Nine Spirits.

"Alright, let's speed up. We will enter the Panpas Volcano area in one minute."

The team accelerated their flight, like a rapidly moving dark cloud, covering the Panpas Volcano.

There were also many Longevity Stage warriors who came to watch the battle, flying and live streaming at the same time, showing everything to the people of the Qin Kingdom.

Almost everyone in the Qin Kingdom wanted to watch the action to kill Lin Zhen.

The forest area of Heavenly Ridge disappeared, and the terrain gradually became desolate. A little further ahead, the Panpas Volcano was now in sight.

"Look, there seems to be someone there!"

Red Witch spoke up, and everyone saw the situation ahead.

At the entrance of the volcano, a large group of people were already waiting.

Standing in the front was a man, their target for this trip, Lin Zhen.

Behind Lin Zhen, the Fire Kirin Clan's ten thousand people were standing at a distance, seemingly preparing to watch the battle.

Seeing Lin Zhen waiting here, Electric Light Beast, and the others landed from the sky one by one. With a constant sliding motion, a throng of ten thousand people descended in front of Lin Zhen.

Chapter 787: Chapter 790

As the enemy descended from the sky, some among the Fire Kirin Clan, too timid and weak, were scared into retreat. The arrival of tens of thousands of super masters filled everyone with horror.

They couldn't imagine how Lin Zhen, the clan leader standing in the distance, faced such immense pressure.

Guangdian and the others fell from the sky, all setting their sights on Lin Zhen.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Lin Zhen stood with his hands behind his back. Several kilometers behind him, the main force of the Fire Kirin was stationed, seemingly lacking the intent to interfere.

"Ah~! Is our new Fire Kirin Clan Leader trying to play hero? Does he intend to take us all on by himself?" Guangdian, who had previously defeated Lin Zhen, had no fear towards him and mockingly taunted.

The red witch of the Vermilion Bird Clan stepped forward: "Such a handsome young man. But do you understand that playing hero comes with the risk of losing your life? Don't do such foolish things. Come here to sister and let me check on you."

As she spoke, the red witch moved forward a few steps, as if intending to embrace Lin Zhen.

Ignoring the twisting of her snake-like waist, Lin Zhen lifted his right hand and forcefully slashed across the ground!

Clang~!

A loud noise echoed as Lin Zhen's palm exuded a powerful Sword Gang, creating a long trench directly on the ground!

A cracking sound shattered the earth, forcing the red witch to swiftly retreat. But her charming red skirt had a corner sliced off.

Looking down, a trench several kilometers long, three meters wide, and tens of meters deep had formed on the ground. Her torn skirt corner fluttered in the deep trench, falling towards the bottom.

"Damn you, Lin Zhen! Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, do you really think that I won't dare to kill you?" The red witch's face contorted, her charming face turned pale, exuding a killing intention.

Lin Zhen snorted coldly, "This is the territory of the Fire Kirin Clan. I, the newly appointed Clan Leader Lin Zhen, now warn you all, do not dare to cross this trench. Anyone who crosses shall be killed without mercy!"

Guangdian's eyes slightly squinted, Lin Zhen's casual strike had already showcased his powerful strength.

But he had just confronted Lin Zhen and evidently, Lin Zhen hadn't been that strong before.

"Guangdian, you said that you had confronted him before, but I feel this kid's strength seems to be not inferior to ours, huh!" Nine Spirits from the Demon Lion Clan asked beside Guangdian. Although they were confident when they arrived, Lin Zhen's casual strike served as a warning for them.

This Lin Zhen was much stronger than they had previously known.

Guangdian was perplexed, but quickly thinking, he suddenly thought of Lin Zhen's other identity.

"He took some potion! He must have taken some potion, he was not this powerful before."

"Yes, this kid is an alchemist. Knowing we were coming, he is preparing for a do-or-die fight." Dao Sha added.

Believing to have found the answer, Guangdian said to the angry red witch, "Don't worry, Lin Zhen's potion is time-limited. Half an hour later the effect will dissipate, and he will enter a weakness period. By then, you can do whatever you want with him."

The red witch glared fiercely at Lin Zhen. Although she was irritated, she didn't want to be the first to confront Lin Zhen, giving others an opportunity to take advantage.

Glancing behind himself Guangdian said, "Let's not mention this, let these Longevity Warriors charge in first. We have hired them for money after all; they must serve some purpose."

Nine Spirits nodded, "That's right, but we should be vigilant. If Lin Zhen can't hold them off, we'll have to step in immediately. I am quite interested in whatever is in this kid's inner world."

After thinking for a moment, Taishan said, "I'm just concerned that these Longevity Warriors might not exert themselves, and therefore pose no threat to Lin Zhen."

Dao Sha said at this moment, "No problem. Mercenaries do have professional integrity. Unless Lin Zhen is so powerful that they can't handle him, they will still fight. And as long as the fight starts, even if they wish to retreat, they can't."

"Oh! Brother Daosha, do you have a good plan?"

Dao Sha took out a few potions and distributed them, "This is the Blood Sha potion. It can infiltrate people's minds, affect their thoughts. The more intense the fight, the more frenzied they will become. Let's scatter, open these potions, and sprinkle them quietly among the crowd. As long as the fight starts, they will fight to the death."

Each person took one potion and were given the antidote. They dispersed to blend in with the crowd.

Guangdian, in the middle of the crowd, said, "Everyone, Lin Zhen is right there, this is your chance to become famous in front of everyone. Let's take him down together!"

There were many Longevity Warriors, they didn't view Lin Zhen as a threat. Rather, they feared that they wouldn't make it to the front and the credit would be taken by others. Seeing that Guangdian and the others didn't initiate the attack, they instantly prepared for battle.

"Charge! Tear him to pieces!"

Daosha swept over the crowd, the invisible and colorless drug powder falling down, while he shouted infectiously.

"Charge! Cut him down!" Nine Spirits released a sky-shaking roar, and the image of a nine-headed lion appeared in the air.

"Charge! Cut him down!" Taishan let out a deep masculine voice, and the red witch released a sharp female voice, echoing throughout the battlefield.

Among the crowd, ten silhouettes started moving first.

These ten people had faces covered with black scarves, concealing their identities. They shot out very quickly.

Seeing others taking the initiative to attack, the crowd following didn't want to be left behind. That's how people are; once someone takes the lead, the subsequent actions become smoother.

Even though Lin Zhen had shown extreme strength, until combat started, no one knew anyone else's trump card.

Rumble~!

The troops set off, swarming towards Lin Zhen like a tide.

And the ten who started, after the army set off, artfully blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Facing the oncoming crowd, Lin Zhen calmly straightened his clothes.

"Phew! This is the first battle in the Fire Kirin Clan, whether or not I can show the prestige of a clan leader depends on this."

He didn't take out the Landis Spear he had just obtained, nor did he take out the Sky-cutting Divine Sword, nor did he release the Sword Gang; he just stood there motionlessly, disregarding the thousands of soldiers in front of him.

When the frontline of the opposing side approached, within a range of ten thousand meters, Lin Zhen made a move.

He just opened his mouth slightly towards the rushing crowd.

"My God, what is our clan leader doing?"

"The enemy is almost upon us. Is he going to scold them?"

"Clan leader, quickly get your weapon ready to fight back, there won't be time soon!"

The Fire Kirin clansmen in the distance shouted out in confusion at Lin Zhen's strange actions, completely oblivious to what his movement signified.

For Longevity Warriors, a distance of a few thousand meters is only a split second away, and at this distance is extremely dangerous.

Some Fire Kirin clansmen who were not very familiar with Lin Zhen closed their eyes in fear. They had just lost one clan leader, were they about to lose another?

Lin Zhen's actions were strange. Not only did the Fire Kirin people find it strange, but his opponents also found it strange.

Even those watching the live broadcast in the Dimensional Universe found it strange and had no idea what Lin Zhen was planning.

Some feared that Lin Zhen might use the Black Hole Devour, but they all were prepared. Once Lin Zhen transformed into the Black Hole Beast, they would scatter like wasps after a camp explosion, definitely not giving Lin Zhen the chance to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

They had done their homework, but from the looks of it, Lin Zhen showed no signs of transforming into the Black Hole Beast.

Since he wasn't using the Black Hole Devour, these Longevity Warriors did not take Lin Zhen seriously and accelerated their advance.

Mingzhu was a peak Longevity Warrior and had been in the peak state for a long time. He had quite the reputation in the mercenary world.

His speed was extremely fast, and because he started slightly ahead of others and was in a good position, he was at the forefront.

The large circular blade in his hand emitted a chilling aura. He could clearly see every movement of Lin Zhen.

Although Lin Zhen was famous, mercenaries had all come through countless life and death battles. He didn't really pay much attention to Lin Zhen, who had just entered the Holy Land.

He believed action spoke louder than words.

No matter how famous you, Lin Zhen, are, the truth will only be revealed after a real fight!

"Come on Lin Zhen! Become a ghost under my large circular blade. By killing you, I will truly become famous in the Qin Kingdom. I will become a hero and will be cheered by the people. From then on, my price in the mercenary world will soar. With money, I can buy a Divine Body, and reach the Three Flowers Realm!"

Not having a Divine Body and being unable to enter the Three Flowers Realm is the reality every Longevity Warrior must face.

"Brothers! Prepare for long-range fire support. I will fight him at close quarters!"

He had two companions. One was a Spiritual Mind Master who was good at using flying knives, and the other had a high level of proficiency with arrows.

At Mingzhu's call, his two companions simultaneously launched long-range attacks!

This three-pronged combination intended to achieve success and fame under the watchful eyes of the crowd!

The arrows and flying knives shot out under the control of the warriors!

But then, an incredible thing happened!

Lin Zhen opened his mouth, as if he was spitting something out, his lips moved slightly, and dots of light flew out!

"Poof poof poof~!"

Those arrows and flying knives were accurately hit in mid-air and dropped to the side.

After eliminating the long-range harassment, a dot of light was instantly in front of Mingzhu.

It was a light-speed attack!

Mingzhu was only a Longevity warrior after all. Faced with a light-speed long-range attack, he was powerless. He couldn't even dodge and was pierced through the forehead by the light dot!

A hole broke open between his eyebrows, and the light dot was a golden aura that pierced his Spiritual Consciousness Sea and his brain!

"Uh~!"

Mingzhu's ambitions ended at that moment, and his body fell back.

At the last moment of his life, the picture he saw was Lin Zhen spitting out a storm of light dots from his mouth!

"It's all over!"

Mingzhu closed his eyes, his consciousness dissipating!

Chapter 788: Chapter 791: The Roaring Feast of Guns and Cannons! (Triple Update!)

When Lin Zhen was on Earth, he also admired those who used firearms.

Although in the Martial Artist's world, firearms were ultimately difficult to enter the elegant hall, they had their unique charm.

The pleasure of holding a machine gun and mowing down a large group of enemies in front of you, like cutting grass, was something swords and other weapons couldn't achieve.

Unfortunately, firearms became useless to a certain extent. Even laser weapons and railguns became increasingly useless after entering the Star Realm.

After Martial Artists passed through the Black Hole Period, they could basically ignore firearms unless they were directly hit by the main cannon of a Starship Battleship.

So Lin Zhen once thought that he would never be able to hold a machine gun-like weapon and sweep it.

But unexpectedly, he stumbled upon the super battle techniques of the Kirin Gun and Kirin Cannon.

If Lin Zhen had to rely on swords to fight these Longevity Stage opponents, he might be tired to death and unable to kill them all, eventually either fleeing or dying in battle.

But the Kirin Gun is the perfect weapon for him now.

Unlike Black Hole Devour which requires transformation and preparation time, the Kirin Gun is readily available for Lin Zhen!

When the enemy attacked, they were not the first to approach, but countless long-range attacks, mainly flying knives arrow attacks. During group battles, few people would use Mental Shock, because if you shock others, you would also be affected by the backlash. After a pause, your chances of killing enemies would basically be gone.

Facing these flying knives and arrows, Lin Zhen immediately opened his mouth and began to spray elemental energy bullets!

Within his body, the Four Elements Flower was like a huge turntable filled with bullets. After being transformed by the perfect crystal, they were ejected from his mouth and could actually reach the speed of light!

"Fall, da-da-da~!"

At the beginning, Lin Zhen's aim was a little off, and it took several bullets to shoot down the flying knives and arrows, but he soon found the targeting point.

A golden elemental energy bullet was fired, and a Martial Artist who rushed fastest was shot down in one hit!

Do not underestimate this small energy bullet, even a drop of water, if it can be shot at the speed of light, can cause large damage, let alone this kind of elemental energy.

The Longevity Stage opponent, who would normally take Lin Zhen a few moves to deal with, collapsed on the spot without making a sound!

A column of blood soared into the sky, which to Lin Zhen, was the most beautiful and shocking sight.

It was from this moment that Lin Zhen began his frenzy of slaughter!

"Hahaha! If you want my life, then take your own life first! Da-da-da….!"

His lips vibrated at a very high frequency, whistling out bullet after bullet, red fireball, white ice shot, yellow earth bullet, green wind bullet, and occasionally a golden bullet!

Because there were too many enemies, Lin Zhen didn't even need to aim at this moment, just pour firepower into the crowd with all his might!

Whether it's the enemy's long-range attacks or the ones rushing in, at this moment, they really are like mowing down grass, falling one after another!

One blood column after another soared into the sky!

Screams resounded through the heavens!

Looking from the back to the front, these Longevity Warriors seemed like a desperate group of suiciders, charging forward one after another, and Lin Zhen, alone, was like a powerful machine gun position!

A good machine gun could fire dozens or hundreds of bullets per minute, while Lin Zhen's mouth unloaded thousands or even tens of thousands of bullets per second!

The most important thing is that these bullets are light speed, making them impossible to dodge!

At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly remembered a small game from the days of the Earth Calendar, Plants vs. Zombies or something like that.

He is now that non-stop bullet-spraying shooter, no! He is more like tens of thousands of shooters, pouring out bullets into the zombie crowd!

"Hahaha! A large wave of zombies is approaching! Come on! No matter how many there are, I'll obliterate them all! Da-da-da!"

Moving his mouth from left to right, countless beams of light and electricity howled, leaving streak after streak, dense space cracks like spider webs!

Although the enemy Martial Artists' attacks were scattered, they were on the ground, in mid-air, and even in the sky. But under such intense firepower, they went down like dumplings .

Some were instantly killed by a single shot, and some unlucky ones were hit by more than a dozen energy bullets in an instant, turning them into sieves within a second!

———-

Everyone went crazy!

Both the attackers and the spectators went mad!

The Martial Artists of the Kirin Clan did not forget their mission. After their initial stunned moments, everyone erupted with roaring cheers!

"Clan Leader! So awesome!"

"Ahhhh!!! I'm going crazy! Clan Leader, you're simply insane!"

"What kind of fighting skill is this! It's so dazzling, I can't stand it. I'm going to be dazzled by the Clan Leader's handsomeness!"

"Clan Leader, keep it up and wipe out all these bastards!"

"Clan Leader, victory! Clan Leader, victory! Clan Leader, victory!!"

This kind of cathartic shouting was not enough to express their excitement, they thought their voices were too small.

Lin Chuang was the first to use the Fire Kirin transformation, and a huge Fire Kirin appeared, letting out a deafening roar!

Following Lin Chuang's lead, the other Martial Artists also began to transform, and soon the crowd watching the battle from behind turned into countless Fire Kirins.

Huge fiery clouds rose, sulfur permeated, and this large group of Kirins began to roar even more excitedly than when they were in heat. The sound shook the volcano, as if it would erupt at any moment!

Under these circumstances, Elder Li and the others had no choice but to transform into Kirins and join the fray with mediocre skills. Their hearts were filled with regret though.

Why did they have to compete with Lin Zhen and why were they so greedy for the position of tribe leader? If they had known Lin Zhen had such formidable power, they would not have done such stupid things. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.

All they could do was hope that the other side's mercenaries were formidable enough and didn't get annihilated by Lin Zhen just like that!

Ten thousand Martial Artists, not too many, but not too few either. In nearly thirty seconds of continuous charging, more than six thousand ended up dead in the streets!

The sky was filled with blood!

The ground was littered with corpses, some severely injured but not dead, some turned into chunks of flesh!

All of it happened too swiftly, like a nightmare that caught everyone off guard!

Some of the Martial Artists initially wanted to retreat, but due to the blood-filled environment, they ended up forgetting their fear and the thought of retreating.

Five million was nothing to a Longevity Stage warrior. These Martial Artists came here mainly for fame, and to join in the fun, thinking victory was assured. They didn't expect such a bloody massacre.

Not all of them possessed absolutely no resistance among these Martial Artists.

One of them had an artifact-grade shield in his hands.

When Lin Zhen's bullet storm attacked, this Martial Artist raised his shield.

The shield was large, with a diameter of over 1.5 meters. With the infusion of Star Power, it emitted a halo that effectively resisted Lin Zhen's energy bullets.

In a series of thumping impacts, the Martial Artist was repeatedly forced backward, but the bullets couldn't penetrate his shield. Therefore, the area behind him became a safe zone.

Although the Martial Artists had bloodlust and didn't want to retreat, their instincts still drove them to seek safety.

After seeing this shield, countless Martial Artists around rushed over quickly.

"Quick, quick, quick! There is a shield here! We can charge with it!"

"Everyone, get on! Once we get through this bullet-ravaged area, we'll tear Lin Zhen into pieces!"

"Quick, switch! I can't do this anymore. Someone else use their Star Power! If the shield falls, we're all dead!"

Lin Zhen noticed the shield as well. Behind this gigantic shield, hundreds of people gathered like a long dragon, and the remaining Martial Artists were still charging towards the shield at full speed, obviously relying on the shield's power to contend against him.

Lin Zhen's eyebrows twitched slightly. His Star Power began to circulate again. The Four Elements Flower spun wildly, and he increased the output of bullets, bombarding this shield with full power!

Bullets denser than the heaviest rainstorm bombarded the shield!

The amount of Star Power required for Lin Zhen to fire these bullets was extremely small. The perfect crystal was an excellent converter, allowing him to keep up the attack for a long time.

However, the ones who were trying to resist with the shield needed a constant supply of Star Power to hold their own.

The first Martial Artist in the front row barely advanced three meters with the shield before his Star Power was almost exhausted, and the next person had to replace him.

Hundreds of Martial Artists turned into thousands. They lined up, not daring to reveal any clues. They all hid behind the shield and took turns using the brute force method to advance. United in spirit, they were confident they could get close to Lin Zhen and take him down!

More than half of the remaining three thousand Martial Artists had gathered behind the shield!

Other scattered Martial Artists, who got slightly closer, were immediately torn to shreds by the dense bullet storm.

Gathering behind the shield and slowly advancing like a caterpillar, Light, Electric, and the others furrowed their brows, an ominous premonition enveloped their hearts.

"What is Lin Zhen up to? It seems like he's intentionally letting the Martial Artists gather together. What's he planning?"

"Wait, something's not right! Although the shield seems sturdy, Lin Zhen could simply change positions and attack from another angle, making the people behind the shield easy targets. Why hasn't he done that yet?"

"Not good!"

Light's eyes widened, and he let out a nearly hoarse shout towards the crowd!

"Get out of the way! He's about to unleash his ultimate move…!"

His warning came too late, but even if it was earlier, it would have been useless since everyone was going mad.

Lin Zhen suddenly armorized, his head visibly expanded, and a ball of energy gathered rapidly in his throat. With a fierce roar, he opened his mouth!

"Too late!"

Along with an explosive sound, a massive energy beam, akin to the main cannon of a Starship Battleship, fired!

It was the Kirin Cannon!

The fierce cannon blast struck the artifact-grade shield, causing it to crack like a spider web. The person behind the shield spat out blood and fell down without a sound!

"Nice artifact! Let's try that again!"

The second shot, fired!

With a loud bang, the shield was shattered into pieces by the second shot!

"Now you have no defense left, let's do that again!"

Lin Zhen opened his mouth, and once again, an energy beam shot out of his throat.

This third shot was aimed at the thousands of Martial Artists lined up in a straight line—fire!!
