Chapter 823: Chapter 826: Battle with Qian Tong!_1

Qian Tong hadn't expected Lin Zhen to be so heartless.

Yes, he offended Lin Zhen, but in his view, disputes among martial artists are commonplace. It's somewhat of an overreaction for Lin Zhen to want to kill him just because his two sons are missing.

Although Qian Tong believed that even if it came to blows, Lin Zhen may not be his match, he himself was a Saint Level Alchemist. As long as he lived, he had a lofty status and a steady stream of money. He could enjoy many things and would not easily put himself at risk.

Thus, he believed this matter could still be negotiated, and he was quite confident.

Standing up from his seat, Qian Tong solemnly declared, "Lin Zhen, as for my previous actions, I don't want to make excuses, but I hope you would listen to my terms."

Before Lin Zhen could agree or disagree, Qian Tong pulled out a piece of parchment.

"This is the Dan prescription I developed when I advanced to become a Saint Level Alchemist. It was the elixir recipe on this prescription that got me to Saint level."

"Lin Zhen, you're an alchemy prodigy, now you're already a Seventh-grade Alchemist, and there's a very good chance you'll reach Saint level in the future."

"But have you ever thought that there's a huge chasm between the Seventh-grade and Saint Level? Without anyone to guide you, you could be stuck at this realm for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, or even never be able to advance. I'm not fear-mongering, I've seen many talented people, stuck at a breakthrough point and unable to move forward, such things… are commonplace."

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Zhen's mouth. "What are you getting at?"

"My meaning is very clear. If someone were to guide you, you may be able to leap over this obstacle. In this world, the only one who can help you in the field of alchemy is me, Qian Tong. If we turn hostility into friendship over this matter, then I'll present you with this Saint Level Alchemy Prescription. Once you've studied it through, Lin Zhen, you, too, can reach Saint Level!"

Qian Tong's generous gesture sparked a lively discussion amongst the spectators.

What a big hand Qian Tong had!

The Dan prescription is like the second life to an Alchemist. Every Alchemist treasures and conceals it lest it be revealed to others. Yet Qian Tong is willing to share it with Lin Zhen – that symbolises such sincerity.

If Lin Zhen succeeds, he will become the second Saint Level Alchemist in the Original World!

A Saint Level Alchemist represents enormous wealth and power, it's simply unimaginable!

"This time, Lin Zhen couldn't possibly refuse, A Saint Level Alchemist, that's the ultimate dream of Alchemists."

"Right, it's just two sons. As a Saint Level Alchemist, there'll be plenty of people willing to help you find the whereabouts of your sons. Besides, for a Martial Artist… sons aren't exactly a novelty, right?"

"It's over, there's no drama to watch, Lin Zhen would be a fool not to accept."

As this tumultuous chatter reached Lin Zhen's ears, it was also caught in the gaze of Jin Nuo, who watched from a distance.

Jin Nuo had initially wanted to disperse the gawking crowd, asking Ma Teng of the Heaven Class and others to mind their own business. But seeing Qian Tong putting this card on the table, Jin Nuo no longer made a move.

He wanted to see what choice Lin Zhen would make.

In his view, if Lin Zhen was rational enough, he would definitely secure the prescription first, for becoming a Saint Level Alchemist was far too important. Considering his status, Qian Tong gets away with a lot, and Jin Nuo himself had many reservations about dealing with him.

But if Lin Zhen really chose the prescription and made peace, he would feel somewhat disappointed.

When the noisy chatter subsided, Lin Zhen finally looked at Qian Tong: "You have more than this one Saint Level prescription, don't you?"

Qian Tong was taken aback, "So what? Giving you one prescription is already my greatest sincerity."

"What if I refuse to accept it?"

Qian Tong chuckled coldly, "That's simple. If you want to fight, then come on. However, I've hidden my prescription inside my internal world and set a ban on it. If anything unusual happens to me, the prescription will immediately self-destruct. Lin Zhen, you better think it through."

After that, Qian Tong put away the prescription. He didn't believe Lin Zhen wouldn't care about a Saint Level prescription.

However, he did sense a hint of contempt in Lin Zhen's eyes, as if his actions were utterly laughable.

"Are you done performing? Is it time to start? Qian Tong, I can't wait to send you on your way!"

"You… you dare!" Qian Tong was fuming.

He had never seen someone so impervious to persuasion. Didn't Jin Nuo support your decision? And so many students of the Heaven Class are pleading for you. I even offered you my Saint Level prescription. You still won't let go. Do you think I, Qian Tong, am made of paper?

With a stern face, Qian Tong said coldly, "A reckless youngster, so aggressive. Do you think I'm afraid of you? If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Lin Zhen gestured at Qian Tong, "That's how it should have been. What's the point of all that talk? Come on."

Having said that, Lin Zhen turned around and walked to the open space in front of the alchemy room, waiting for Qian Tong.

Qian Tong got himself together and followed Lin Zhen outside.

Seeing that a fight was imminent, those who originally wanted to retreat suddenly crowded over, forming a large circle at a safe distance, watching the show with great interest.

In the era of the Dimensional Universe, there are no secrets. Someone started live streaming immediately.

Soon, someone contacted Jin Nuo, asking why Lin Zhen still wanted to fight with Qian Tong.

Jin Nuo simply turned off the Dimensional Universe. At this moment, he didn't want to be disturbed by external factors. He had decided to respect Lin Zhen's own choices, and this was indeed a matter that others should not meddle in.

Arriving on the open ground, Qian Tong shrugged off his Alchemist's robe, revealing the black tight-fit underneath.

A faint layer of starlight began to float on the surface of his body, the Three Flowers atop his head in full bloom. Invisible divine sense spread out, attesting to his realm.

Divine Transformation!

"Wow, he's reached the middle stage of Divine Transformation!"

"When did Qian Tong breakthrough to this? I didn't even know about it. I've always thought he was at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm."

"With such a powerful realm, he should have fought Lin Zhen to the death. Why did he need to make compromises and endure humiliation?"

"He must have been keeping a low profile. As the saying goes, old ginger is hotter. Lin Zhen is in trouble now. He probably thought that the Saint Master was in the Three Flowers Realm and dared to be so arrogant. If he knew earlier, he would have definitely accepted the Dan prescription."

Qian Tong also just barely reached the middle stage of Divine Transformation yesterday in preparation for any trouble that Lin Zhen might cause. He had taken many elixirs to achieve this.

Today, he released his realm to intimidate Lin Zhen, but he was disappointed.

In Lin Zhen's eyes, he didn't see any shock at all. It seemed that his Divine Transformation and the World King's realm made no difference to him.

"Lin Zhen, don't think just because you've gotten through the 33rd tower at the eleventh level you can do whatever you want. Today, I'll let you know how unwise it was to offend me!"

With a clap of Qian Tong's hands, two flying swords flew out from within him.

As soon as the twin swords were drawn, a cold and murderous aura filled the entire area!

"These two swords, named Tianhuang and Huayun, are supreme treasures from the forbidden lands of the Endless Star Sea's Duiliu Realm. I spent half of my fortune back then to get them. You can say that these two swords have never touched blood under my hands. Today, I will use you, Lin Zhen, to christen my swords!"

Once these twin swords were drawn, Lin Zhen felt his Sky-cutting Divine Sword's momentum wane.

The quality of these two swords was definitely superior to Sky-cutting!

After securing the twin swords, Qian Tong took on a strange stance; the Tianhuang Sword in his right hand and the Huayun Sword in his left– but he placed the Huayun Sword behind his back while pointing the Tianhuang Sword at Lin Zhen.

"Young Lin Zhen, one sword is enough to deal with you!"

Before his voice fell, a Mental Shock was fired!

Lin Zhen's spiritual power, being at the Diamond's Perfection, made little of his Mental Shock – sending out a shockwave in retaliation and colliding with Qian Tong's attack!

"Boom~~!!!!"

The two Mental Shocks met in the air, causing a ripple effect in the surrounding air.

Lin Zhen's body swayed a little under the impact, but Qian Tong, stood there unaffected, his sword already inching closer to Lin Zhen's face.

"Young Lin Zhen, go meet your son!"

Without any fancy moves, Qian Tong's masterful swordplay seemed simple and unassuming, yet it had an undeniable truth to it. It was straightforward and unavoidable!

This was the most difficult type of swordplay to parry.

Lin Zhen also drew his Sky-cutting sword, crossing it defensively!

"Clang~~~!!!!"

The harsh sound of swords clashing filled the air, causing an uncomfortable prickling sensation.

In their clash, Lin Zhen's Sky-cutting sword was cut by Qian Tong's Tianhuang Sword!

Lin Zhen didn't expect Qian Tong's sword to be that powerful. When his Sky-cutting sword was destroyed, he backed away, but not before sustaining a cut on his shoulder.

After Qian Tong's first successful slash, he continued to strike with his Tianhuang sword, not giving Lin Zhen any chance to breathe. The swift, simple slashes were as fast as lightning!

This was a striking sword technique that functioned like the thunderbolt, and with a supporting unparalleled Divine Blade, it was undoubtedly a formidable killing move. Each sword strike had to be evaded fully, as getting struck would result in being split in two!

After a series of evasions, Lin Zhen suddenly waved his hand and the Lance of Landis appeared in his grasp.

Against an unparalleled Divine Blade, he needed an unparalleled Divine Blade to counter.

As another flash of electricity approached, Lin Zhen held his spear across his body: "Back off!"

A thunderous sound erupted, blinding everyone's sight with the smoky aftermath of the explosion. This time, Lin Zhen successfully paralyzed Qian Tong's blow, and the spear started trembling unceasingly, sending ripples across the battlefield.

"Spring Earth~!"

As a surge of Earth elements erupted, countless ground spikes roared out amid a radiant spring light. A spear shot out from out of nowhere, heading straight towards Qian Tong's chest~!

Qian Tong used his sword to block, but how could Lin Zhen, who had already deployed his spear techniques, give him such a chance? He rallied the Earth element's ground spikes from all sides, made a leap from the ground, and with both hands holding the spear, he broke through Qian Tong's Tianhuang Sword's defence, hitting straight into his chest!

"Puff~~!!!"

In a spray of blood, the spear pierced through his body, straight to the heart!

The distance between the two men closed quickly. Qian Tong suddenly grabbed Lin Zhen's spear, preventing Lin Zhen from pulling away.

From Qian Tong's eyes, Lin Zhen could see a flicker of cunning triumph.

A figure appeared in a flash of lightning from behind him, wielding the Huayun sword towards Lin Zhen's neck; it was a second Qian Tong!

Chapter 824: Chapter 827: Breaking the God Crystal! (Third Update)_1

Qian Tong had known long before his clash with Lin Zhen that the latter was a tough opponent.

The one who had been exchanging blows with Lin Zhen was his clone, his main body was always ready to seize any opportunity.

It wasn't until the moment Lin Zhen's spear pierced his body, that his true form appeared, taking the Sword of Tianhuang from his clone, and attacked swiftly!

The Sword of Tianhuang was an excellent treasure within the forbidden area of the Endless Star Sea. He was confident that Lin Zhen would be unable to withstand it.

Now that his clone had seized Lin Zhen's spear, if he wanted to survive, he could only abandon his spear. Losing both his sword and spear, the battle was half won.

Sure enough, as he had anticipated, Lin Zhen decisively gave up Landis's Spear.

His body quickly retreated, creating some distance from Qian Tong's clone.

His main body disappeared again after a quick appearance. This was Qian Tong's prudence, never risking his true form lightly.

Qian Tong's clone held the Sword of Tianhuang in one hand and Landis Spear in the other, a grimacing smile on his face: "Heh heh! Lin Zhen, you are nothing but a paper tiger without your claws and teeth. Now that you have lost your sword and spear, what will you fight me with?"

With these words, Qian Tong pulled out Lin Zhen's spear and kept it within his internal world. Wielding the Sword of Tianhuang, he charged forward once more!

"Snap~"

Lin Zhen clasped his hands together, and the Galaxy Domain was activated!

Following Lin Zhen's modifications, the Galaxy Domain became a real planet evolved from the Black Hole, coupled with the illusionary planet formed by his internal Star Power.

Capable of producing a Starburst, or releasing twisted gravitational and pressure fields.

Enormous pressure building from all directions, Qian Tong swung his sword chaotically as he brought his sword down: "The domain is built on absolute power, Lin Zhen, your domain can't harm me!"

Balls of stars shattered and burst in front of Qian Tong's eyes, and the domain collapsed!

Amid the rumbling explosion, a planet appeared suddenly above Qian Tong's head.

The planets before were all illusions; only this one was real. Qian Tong even recognized this planet – it was clearly his former Planet Mountain Range.

"Ahh~ give me back my treasure, Lin Zhen!"

Qian Tong tried to swing his sword again, intending to knock the Planet Mountain Range off its course. But the weight of this star couldn't be easily affected – Qian Tong was even momentarily suppressed by it.

This suppression was short, but it was enough for an experienced martial artist.

There was a chill at Lin Zhen's brow, and the Heart Sword was unleashed!

Sword of Sen Han~~~!!!

An invisible net of swords whizzed through the air and then disappeared.

Qian Tong's sword-swinging motion paused.

Patterns resembling a fishing net appeared on his brow, cheeks, and body – they were everywhere, densely packed!

The Sword of Sen Han unleashes tens of thousands of intersecting strands of invisible Sword Qi upon drawing it. It's extremely hard to defend against.

By the time Qian Tong's clone noticed, it was too late – he was cut into tiny pieces!

The weight of the planet above descended from the sky and directly crushed Qian Tong's clone into minced meat, into a puddle of blood!

Lin Zhen, with a wave of his hand, caught the Sword of Tianhuang and Landis's Spear falling into his hands.

"Saint Master, your clone is dead, aren't you going to pay your respects?"

Holding the Sword of Tianhuang, Lin Zhen turned around and swung his sword, revealing Qian Tong's hiding place with a swipe!

Qian Tong blocked Lin Zhen's attack with his Sword of Huayun, retreating shakily with a sheet-white face.

The loss of his clone dealt a considerable blow to his main body. Qian Tong never dreamt that Lin Zhen would be so powerful, managing to kill his clone with the formless Heart Sword.

However, Lin Zhen didn't give him any opportunities. Holding the Sword of Tianhuang and using the Shadowless Step, he closed the distance.

As Qian Tong swung his sword downwards, Lin Zhen easily sidestepped, cutting a strip of flesh from his waist!

Qian Tong howled, turned and slashed again, but Lin Zhen once again used the Shadowless Step, deflecting the attack and causing Qian Tong to lose a finger.

Qian Tong launched another fierce three-sword combo, slashing at nothing but air. Two transparent holes appeared in his waist.

He retreated, Lin Zhen turned and swung his hand, a Sword Gang grazed past, cleanly cutting off his hair and a chunk of his scalp!

One move after another, Lin Zhen's face remained expressionless, cold to the extreme!

Not only did Qian Tong need to die, but Lin Zhen also wanted him to die horribly. He would not kill him with a single blow; he wanted to torment him slowly!

Despite Qian Tong being at the middle stage of Divine Transformation, Lin Zhen wasn't afraid at all. Besides his initial trick involving his clone and main body, there wasn't much to see in all the other aspects.

The moment Qian Tong's true self attacked and then retreated, Lin Zhen could see that Qian Tong lacked practical combat experience!

Possessing only the realm but lacking the skills, such a martial artist was not to be feared. Compared to Lin Zhen, who had fought countless battles, Qian Tong was far behind.

Very quickly, Qian Tong realized this too.

If the fight continued like this, a few more moves, and Qian Tong would meet his end on the spot.

"Ahh~ Lin Zhen, you rat, you destroyed my clone, I will fight with you to the death!"

If the technique was lacking, then overpower him with pure strength!

Qian Tong swallowed an elixir, and his Star Power increased by forty percent!

A trace of contempt appeared on Lin Zhen's face. His current Star Power was at 130 million. Qian Tong was almost equal to him. Even if he increased by forty percent, Lin Zhen was confident of victory.

Of course, Lin Zhen could also take the medicine, but he didn't plan to do so. There was no need.

After taking the pill, Qian Tong swung the Sword of Huayun desperately, managing to push Lin Zhen back a little before taking out another item.

"Lin Zhen, you forced me into this corner. If you want to kill me, you'll have to wait until your next life!"

It was a pale blue crystal stone, suspended above their heads, it immediately emitted a layer of blue light.

As soon as this stone appeared, everyone in the field felt an impulse to kneel and worship!

God Crystal~!

"God Crystal!" someone shouted, causing an uproar on the scene!

God Crystal!

This was the ultimate dream of a Martial Artist. With a God Crystal, one could become a god, as long as you could cultivate to the peak of Divine Stone Transformation, the God Crystal would guarantee becoming a god.

It was astonishing that Qian Tong actually had such a thing.

Even without being absorbed, as long as it was driven by Star Power, the God Crystal could cast divine light that protected the body and was difficult to break!

Many people's eyes shone, and some couldn't control themselves, they wanted to step forward and seize it directly.

In the distance, Jin Nuo coughed lightly, shocking the people who were bewildered by the God Crystal awake.

"No one is allowed to intervene in their fight. Those who do will be killed without hesitation!"

The people, sober from their trance, dared not move impulsively.

The blue light of the God Crystal was like a protective shield, extremely tenacious. Lin Zhen wielded his Tianhuang Sword, but he could only shake it and couldn't break it.

With the God Crystal's protection, Qian Tong immediately became more ferocious, completely abandoning his defense, pushing his 180 million Star Power to the limit, and began to attack Lin Zhen fiercely.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn. When a Martial Artist in the middle of the Divine Transformation stage doesn't have any concerns, no matter how weak his strength is, the power he explodes is not to be underestimated.

Clang clang clang clang~~!!

A flash of blood, and Lin Zhen was injured.

Even though Lin Zhen had an Immortal Spiritual Body, this was a bad omen. Without breaking Qian Tong's God Crystal protection, there was no way to win this fight.

"Wa ha ha ~! Are you dumbfounded? Lin Zhen ah Lin Zhen, this is called being greedy and never satisfied, you're hoisted by your own petard. Accepting the Dan prescription obediently would've been fine, but you insisted on a fight to death with me. I am the only Saint-Level Alchemist in the Original World, your imagination cannot fathom the accumulation of my countless years. This God Crystal is my safety guarantee, you are bound to lose today!"

A round of weapon clashes, and Lin Zhen was struck by a sword again!

People around them shook their heads frequently. Lin Zhen had no hope left in this fight.

The God Crystal is not invincible, but it's impossible to break it during the Longevity Stage.

Lin Zhen's wrist shook, once again striking several times, the light of the God Crystal slightly ruptured, and immediately closed up again.

A faint smile crept over Lin Zhen's face.

"This thing, I've seen before…."

Lin Zhen recalled the time of the Divine Punishment Star. The protective layer outside the Divine Punishment Star was clearly identical to the power of this God Crystal.

The only difference is that the protective layer of the Divine Punishment Star is much more powerful than the power of this God Crystal. From this, it can be inferred that the power of God Crystals varies.

The one obtained by Qian Tong is just average.

But that God Crystal was protecting a whole star, this one only protected Qian Tong alone, it's still not easy to break.

Back then, Ning Qingxuan came to rescue from Nan Liang, managed to break the God Crystal protection on her own, even though she was only in the Three-Flowers Early Stage then.

Although Ning Qingxuan's strength was formidable, what she could accomplish at the Three-Flowers Stage, there was no reason Lin Zhen, at the Longevity Stage, couldn't do.

Lin Zhen gave up on the attack, used the Shadowless Step to avoid Qian Tong's fierce attack, found an opportunity to swallow a Divine Power Pill.

With the Divine Power Pill in his belly, Lin Zhen's Star Power also skyrocketed to 180 million!

"Qian Tong! If you hadn't taken this out, maybe you'd still have a slim chance of survival, but to possess such a treasure will provoke others to covet it, and this thing now belongs to me!"

"You're dreaming!" Qian Tong continued to attack wildly.

Lin Zhen's shape flashed, a clone appeared!

He handed the Landis spear to the clone, and lifted his hand towards Qian Tong, it was a Constant Star Fall!

A howling Constant Star fell from the sky, colliding directly with the light of the God Crystal!

Boom-boom-boom~~!!

Qian Tong slid backwards on the ground, dragging two deep trenches, pushed back tens of meters by the Constant Star Fall.

Although he was not injured, he couldn't attack anymore.

Lin Zhen's main body advanced, and his Tianhuang Sword slashed down heavily. God Burial!

Again at the position of the Constant Star Fall, under the influence of another hit, the divine light cracked with a click!

Qian Tong retreated in disarray once again, before he could recover, the clone followed up once more, and it was the Spring Earth!

After a loud noise, Lin Zhen's main body advanced once again. Heart Sword Formless, Sen Han!

Each attack was at the same position, and the main body and clone were like two Iron Hammers, hammering a steel plate in turns!

Once Sen Han came out, the divine light finally showed signs of collapse.

The clone made his move again, Summer Stream Fire!

The light of the God Crystal shattered!

The clone caught the God Crystal midair, accomplished its task and retreated!

Lin Zhen's main body had already Armourized in the back, opened his big mouth, a Black Hole emerged, with the Galaxy spiralling.

A Black Hole Storm appeared above Qian Tong's head!

Devour~~~~~~!!!!!!!

Chapter 825: Chapter 828 New Memories (Fourth Update)_1

Qian Tong could have never dreamed that Lin Zhen would be capable of shattering the protective light of the God Crystal!

In order to contend with Lin Zhen, he had tried all means at his disposal.

He manipulates Jin Nuo, threatens Lin Zhen, and offers Dan recipes as temptation.

If these strategies failed, Qian Tong was not afraid because he possessed the God Crystal.

This treasure that he had nearly exhausted his entire fortune to acquire could save his life in times of crisis.

Everything was planned perfectly, but he hadn't considered that Lin Zhen could have the power to break through the defense of God Crystal. Lin Zhen launched an onslaught using both his main body and clone, relentlessly attacking the God Cystal's protective light, and indeed shattered the defense!

Moreover, the God Crystal was snatched away by Lin Zhen and Qian Tong's elixir weak period was also approaching.

And what was worse was the hovering Black Hole overhead!

Qian Tong didn't want to be devoured by the Black Hole, he wanted to survive.

At this life or death moment, Qian Tong knelt down!

He fell to his knees with a thud, while defending against the Black Hole's devouring power and hurriedly pleading for mercy.

"Lin Zhen! This old man recognizes his wrongs. Any number of apologies are insufficient, I shouldn't harbor animosity towards you, and my wrongdoings are beyond measure. I beg you to consider the slight usefulness I possess, spare my life. I am willing to be your alchemist for life, to give all of my Dan prescriptions to you and will absolutely not harbor a second heart!"

The gazes of everyone around them fell on Lin Zhen's face, wishing to see his final decision.

Lin Zhen snorted from his nostrils, "You should give up on this idea. From the moment you laid hands on my family, your destiny was sealed, Qian Tong, you may rest in peace now!"

With a shift in his thought, the devouring power of the Black Hole intensified!

Qian Tong let out a miserable shriek; his body spinning as it was sucked into the Black Hole!

Seemingly possessing some resistance, Qian Tong hovered and struggled within the Black Hole, refusing to dissolve into dust completely.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen's face displayed a trace of seriousness, as it seemed that devouring him wasn't easy.

This standoff continued for a full five minutes!

Others saw it as a standoff, but only Lin Zhen knew that he was Soul Searching!

He hadn't devoured another person's soul for a long time. By now, most people weren't worth him doing this because there wasn't much he could learn from them.

However, Qian Tong was different.

As the only known Saint-Level Alchemist in the Original World, Qian Tong was undoubtedly a super talent in Alchemy.

Lin Zhen didn't know if he was considered a talent in Alchemy, but that didn't matter because he could devour talents.

Being a peak level-seven Alchemist himself, absorbing Qian Tong's soul would surely warrant a promotion to the Saint-Level!

This man had long been included in Lin Zhen's devouring plan.

To others, it appeared they were at a standoff in their battle. However, Lin Zhen had already caused Qian Tong's brain to lose consciousness.

Upon forcible Soul Searching, Qian Tong's memories rushed forth like a tidal wave!

Since using this in public, Lin Zhen worried about being discovered, so he directly discarded most of Qian Tong's useless memories.

Despite that, the volume of Qian Tong's memory was so immense that it made Lin Zhen feel slightly overwhelmed.

In the end, he hastily absorbed Qian Tong's memories.

The Black Hole disappeared, and Lin Zhen, like a drunk man, was slightly unsteady on his feet.

He bowed to Jin Nuo, saying, "Fifth Brother, the weakness period of my medicinal power has arrived, and I have expended a lot. I can't stay with Fifth Brother for long. Please give me a few days to recover."

Seeing that Qian Tong was dead, Jin Nuo felt relief. He nodded at Lin Zhen, "Alright, go back and rest well. Don't worry about anything else."

Lin Zhen nodded, rose and walked toward his residence in the Holy Land.

"Oh right, since you killed Qian Tong, his possessions are your spoils of war. Others are not to harass or covet it. Otherwise, don't blame the Holy Land if we show no mercy!"

Jin Nuo's last statement was evidently to protect Lin Zhen, also declaring the rightful ownership of the God Crystal.

This silenced many others who were coveting the God Crystal. Jin Nuo had spoken, and anyone who still craved the God Crystal was absolutely courting death.

The battle in the Holy Land by the Falling Star Lake had once again made people realize Lin Zhen's strength.

Being able to kill Qian Tong, in the middle stages of the Divine Transformation, might not seem like a particularly remarkable feat. But considering that he accomplished this while Qian Tong was protected by the God Crystal, it was especially noteworthy.

However, many people believed that by killing Qian Tong, Lin Zhen would bring about endless trouble.

After all, Qian Tong was a Saint-Level Alchemist, the only known one, with many regular customers requiring his Saint-level Elixirs.

By killing Qian Tong, Lin Zhen cut off the source of Elixir for many people, which were crucial to the experts.

The loss of their Elixir source would surely cause the experts to vent their anger on Lin Zhen, making this a problematic situation.

Although the Fifth Prince of Holy Land, Jin Nuo had his back, Lin Zhen was safe for the time being. But what about the future? Could Lin Zhen spend his entire life under Jin Nuo's protection?

Thus, many theorists believed that Lin Zhen's victory brought more harm than good, even if he had acquired a priceless God Crystal.

Only if he could survive until the day he gets the God Crystal would it be of any use.

On the day Lin Zhen killed Qian Tong, many experts spoke up, seeking trouble with Lin Zhen, further proving people's speculations.

Despite many who harboured jealousy towards Lin Zhen dared not express it, they were all eagerly waiting for the drama to unfold.

Indeed, Lin Zhen had entered the weak period of the Divine Power Pill. However, this was unimportant. Having returned to his dwelling, the task at hand for Lin Zhen was absorption.

Being at the divine transformation middle stage, the amount of memory Qian Tong had was quite substantial.

His life had been extraordinary and he had experienced far more than most people.

Being a martial artist is just like that. If your absolute power is not strong enough, be it the pursuit of longevity or divine transformation, your downfall might be inevitable.

Having witnessed many such cases, Lin Zhen was compelled to constantly seek improvement.

Qian Tong's martial skills were hardly worth mentioning, but his memory of alchemy was immense.

From a young age, Qian Tong had been delving into alchemy. Without a doubt, he was an alchemy prodigy, and for him, insight into alchemy was commonplace.

The Association of Alchemists in Da Qin had produced three Saint-Level Alchemists.

Alchemist God Shui Wuhen, Alchemist Saint Xi Erman, and Alchemist King Qian Tong.

Shui Wuhen and Xi Erman were figures from a distant past and had not made appearances for some time now.

But from Qian Tong's memories, these two individuals should still be alive, though they had ventured into the Endless Star Sea a long time ago and it was unclear if they were still there.

Qian Tong was the only Saint-Level Alchemist who had chosen to stay on the surface of the Original World.

Having earned the title of an Alchemist King, Qian Tong's abilities naturally went without saying.

He had mastered three types of Saint-Level elixirs alone.

The first was the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. This was the signature elixir that helped Qian Tong ascend to the rank of Saint Master. Even if a person had died not long ago and his body hadn't been torn apart, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could bring him back from the Ghost Gate.

Such an elixir was indeed against the natural order, and manufacturing it was also quite challenging.

The second elixir appeared to be rather commonplace, but it was equally important – the Yang Hua Pill.

The Yang Hua Pill was used to strengthen the Three Flowers atop a martial artist's head. This elixir was important yet not that crucial.

When the three flowers on top of a martial artist's head condensed, the strength of the Star Power largely depended on the degree of blooming of the Three Flowers – the more splendid the flowers, the stronger the power.

This process required a martial artist to constantly nourish the Three Flowers with Star Power, which was an incredibly lengthy process.

Even with enough patience, the Three Flowers may not fully bloom, as everyone's talent was different.

Although Qian Tong had the ability to refine the Yang Hua Pill, his talent was relatively inferior, and his realm was entirely built upon the use of medicine. Consequently, he wasn't able to make the Three Flowers fully bloom despite him having the Yang Hua Pills.

The Three Flowers on top of his head were only slightly bigger than flower buds. He then forcibly broke through to the Divine Transformation.

Since it was also difficult to refine the Yang Hua Pill and the consumption of medicine by martial artists had side effects, one must possess adequate talent, determination, and wealth to rely on Yang Hua Pill. Of these, Qian Tong only had wealth.

The last elixir was the Mental power God Pill.

The Mental power God Pill was an essential item for attacking the Divine Transformation once the last of the Three Flowers atop a martial artist's head, viz., the Flower of Spiritual mind, had reached its peak.

The Three Flowers atop a martial artist's head were the Flower of Vitality, the Flower of Qi, and the Flower of Spiritual mind.

The final transformation of the Flower of Spiritual mind was the Divine Transformation.

Without the Yang Hua Pill and Mental power God Pill, Qian Tong wouldn't have been able to achieve Divine Transformation in eight lifetimes because of his mediocre talent.

These three elixirs were one more extraordinary than the other. It was no wonder Qian Tong had amassed a massive fortune.

After Qian Tong had been devoured by the Black Hole, his body hadn't turned into dust but had been absorbed into Lin Zhen's internal world. All of Qian Tong's collections had been plundered by Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen initially thought Qian Tong would have a lot of money. But it was only after acquiring his collection that Lin Zhen realized, in order to deal with him, Qian Tong had nearly squandered all of his wealth.

Lately, Qian Tong had been making elixirs at Falling Star Lake. Most of the elixirs he made were given to Falling Star Lake. With no source of income and with his savings dwindling rapidly, Qian Tong had hired multiple factions to deal with Lin Zhen, paid rewards, purchased wormhole eggs, and so on, leaving him with only over tens of billions left.

Luckily, Lin Zhen was not in need of money right now. Moreover, Qian Tong's internal world had left quite a few medicinal materials, which were all taken by Lin Zhen in one fell swoop.

Now, Dark Star had literally become a planet full of medicinal materials, with an entire continent covered with medicinal plants.

It wasn't until seven days later that Lin Zhen fully absorbed Qian Tong's memories.

Lin Zhen then spent another three days getting familiar with the manufacture of several types of Saint-Level Elixirs.

Already a peak Seventh-Rank Alchemist and combining that with Qian Tong's memory, Lin Zhen's alchemy skills were far superior to Qian Tong's.

If there was such a thing as a peak Saint-Level Alchemist, then Lin Zhen would certainly be one!

"About time, I can't keep hiding. I need to find my son."

Lin Zhen concluded his retreat, preparing to go find Jin Nuo, and set out in search of his son.

He took a casual glance at the Dimensional Universe, only to discover that Qian Tong's death had caused quite a stir. His supporters had come forward looking to settle scores with Lin Zhen.

Chapter 826: Chapter 829: The New Saint-Level Alchemist_1

With Qian Tong's death, many of his long-time customers lost their source of elixirs.

For instance, which Martial Artist wouldn't want to stock a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill for an emergency?

One more Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is like having an extra life. But with Qian Tong's death, they lost that extra life.

Many people vented their anger on Lin Zhen, claiming that he owes them a life, and determined that he would have to pay with his life sooner or later.

But most people simply talked the talk, they would not dare come to the Holy Land.

Those who would dare to come to the Holy Land, were definitely not ordinary people.

For example, the one who was here now.

When Lin Zhen left his room and came outside, he found that many people, including students from both the Earth Class and Heaven Class, had already gathered around.

On the square outside, Jin Nuo stood not far from Lin Zhen's door in a standoff with another person.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen was taken aback. He wasn't sure of Jin Nuo's exact strength, but he knew that Jin Nuo was definitely very powerful, unimaginably so. So if such a powerful person came out personally to stop another person, the strength of this person must also be extraordinary.

The man was an old man, draped in linen clothes, with a large conical hat on his back. He looked like an old fisherman.

But just him standing there felt as unfathomable as the endless star sea.

Behind the old man, there were several more people, each looking extraordinary.

However, Jin Nuo ignored everyone else, instead focusing on the old man, and said, "Tian Hen, Lin Zhen is an important disciple of our Holy Land, it's impossible to let you do what you wish. Please, all of you should just leave."

But the old man called Tian Hen replied, "Jin Nuo, you're belittling me too much. I wouldn't go this far as to quarrel with a young boy of the Longevity Realm, but this time, I cannot leave empty-handed."

"So state your purpose."

"Since Lin Zhen killed Qian Tong, I presume Qian Tong's relics must have fallen into Lin Zhen's hands. I had already given Qian Tong a lot of money, ordering two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, and not too long ago, he told me they were ready for me to collect. Now since the elixirs are in Lin Zhen's hands, he should just hand them over. I can even pay him again."

The others chimed in as well, "That's right, young master, we don't press him with anything. Since he took over Qian Tong's possessions, then he should fulfill Qian Tong's obligations. All we want is our own things back. This isn't too much to ask, right? We all paid, and there's evidence throughout the Dimensional Universe."

Jin Nuo sneered, "Those words are laughable. So you're saying, if a person kills another, he should bear the debt of the person he killed? This is nonsense."

Tian Hen said, "It can't be said like that. Qian Tong wasn't an ordinary person, his elixirs were very precious, and we really need them, Jin Nuo. You shouldn't protect Lin Zhen like this, it's not good for him."

Jin Nuo could dismiss others, but not this Tian Hen in front of her.

This man was from the Holy Land of Soul Lock Platform, he was the fourth Holy Land Resident!

Now in the Endless Star Sea, he has made a big name for himself, and crossing him would bring no benefits to Lin Zhen.

Jin Nuo thought for a moment, "How about this, when Lin Zhen comes out, I'll ask him. If he indeed got Qian Tong's elixirs, you can pay to purchase them again, but if he didn't, then please leave."

The rest didn't say anything, but they were convinced that Qian Tong's relics must have fallen into Lin Zhen's hands.

Faced with a Saint-level elixir, who wouldn't be tempted?

At this moment, Lin Zhen came out.

Lin Zhen had already heard these people's conversation and realized that this man named Tian Hen was no ordinary person.

However, Lin Zhen had already made up his mind. He walked out slowly from his room and stood next to Jin Nuo.

Tian Hen's gaze fell on Lin Zhen as he spoke nonchalantly, "Lin Zhen, I won't repeat what was said. We didn't come here to cause trouble, Qian Tong must have left a lot of elixirs, you just need to take out a portion of them. We will pay you, this matter will be over, and if you ever run into any trouble in the Endless Star Sea, you can come to find me."

The rest of the Martial Artists also started to speak, they knew of Tian Hen's identity, coming to the Holy Land they had nothing to worry about.

"That's right, Lin Zhen, having too many elixirs is useless, hand them over quickly."

"I warned you on the internet not to cross Qian Tong, but you didn't listen. Thought being in the Holy Land ensured safety from any trouble? Now, you have to spit out what you have unjustly eaten!"

"A saint-level Alchemist is a beehive, Lin Zhen if you dare to stir up this beehive, be ready to tangle with countless bees. During this time Qian Tong continued to borrow money and has accumulated quite a debt, now it's time for you to pay it."

Facing these strong individuals, Lin Zhen just gave a slight smile, "Maybe you all have misunderstood something. I didn't acquire any of Qian Tong's relics. He was consumed by my Black Hole Devour and has been turned directly into dust."

Tian Hen's face changed, he didn't say a word but the rest weren't holding back any longer.

"Lin Zhen, are you trying to pull wool over our eyes like we're three-year-olds?"

"You refuse to accept the relics of a Saint-Level Alchemist? Who can be fooled by that? We're all martial artists here, nobody more noble than the other. Lin Zhen, stop acting like you're a saint."

"You're still in control of that Black Hole, Lin Zhen. Stop lying."

After listening for a while, Lin Zhen went straight to the point and said, "You must be aware of my grievance with Qian Tong. If given the chance to kill him, I'd want nothing more than to tear him to pieces. Regarding what you guys stated about Qian Tong being a Saint-Level Alchemist, that may be rare to you, but to me, it's nothing!"

No one believed Lin Zhen's words. How could they? Qian Tong was not just a Saint-Level Alchemist but also the only Saint-Level in the Original World. How could he possibly be 'nothing'?

Seeing disbelief in the eyes of the crowd, Lin Zhen continued, "Since you know the facts, you must also be aware that Qian Tong tried to bribe me with a Saint-Level Dan prescription to turn hostility into friendship. But I refused. Do you know why?"

Before anyone else could say anything, Lin Zhen himself answered.

"Because I too can refine Saint-Level elixirs. Why should he bribe me with something I can make?"

Lin Zhen's revelation rocked the entire room!

Including Jin Nuo, everyone looked at Lin Zhen with astonishment.

Jin Nuo said, "Lin Zhen, what are you saying? You can also refine Saint-Level elixirs?"

"That's correct. Five brothers should know that I am the Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild, a Seventh-Grade Alchemist. I could refine a Saint-Level elixir even back then. However, there's no one who could test a Saint-Level Alchemist so I didn't want to attract attention. I am content with being a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, so I never made this public."

"Five brothers, everyone can think this through, I am a stronger Saint-Level Alchemist than Qian Tong. Why would I need his trinkets? Just as a Seventh-Grade Alchemist would never crave for anything made by a Third-Grade Alchemist."

Tian Hen was stunned, then promptly said, "Lin Zhen, think before bragging. Qian Tong is the only internationally recognized Saint-Level Alchemist in the Original World. Will your claim of being a Saint-Level Alchemist be accepted just because you say it? If you can't provide any proof, you'll be responsible for what you've said."

"Since I've made my claim, I can prove it too. However, I need to clarify that once I provide the proof, all the past disputes with Qian Tong will be irrelevant. I won't be assuming responsibility for any of his messy affairs."

Tian Hen and the others exchanged glances, then nodded unanimously.

Even though Lin Zhen was quite persuasive, they couldn't believe that he was a Saint-Level Alchemist.

Asking Lin Zhen to provide proof would be a good idea. If he does, they might need to reconsider their stance.

Lin Zhen knew that no one would be able to digest this information, so he decided not to waste more words. He lifted his hand and instantly summoned a Pill Furnace in the open space outside the room.

Tian Hen was taken aback, "Are you going to refine elixirs out here? Don't you need to use Qian Tong's Alchemy room? The equipment there is more complete."

Lin Zhen waved, "Not required. Qian Tong lacked skill, that's why he sought perfection in external environments. I do not."

Lin Zhen's aura left the crowd speechless, including Tian Hen and Jin Nuo.

What followed shocked them even more.

Lin Zhen moved gracefully, swiftly slicing and grinding medicinal materials and feeding them into the Pill Furnace. Ice and Fierce Fire balanced each other, Thunder accelerated the process, Gale added heat. Elemental forces danced around Lin Zhen's hands, making them appear alive.

They'd seen countless Alchemy scenes throughout their lives but they'd never seen any Alchemist manage processes as flawlessly and effortlessly as Lin Zhen.

This scenario was disruptive. If being a Saint-Level Alchemist was easy, the Original World would have been swarming with them, not just dedicated to one person, Qian Tong.

Lin Zhen's youthful look yet prodigious level of achievement made the crowd incredulous.

About ten minutes later, Lin Zhen spread his hands apart, a bright green flame burst into the Pill Furnace then suddenly stopped.

BANG~~!!

The lid of the Pill Furnace flew open, revealing a Golden Pill!

With a wave of his hand, Lin Zhen sent out a stream of Freezing air to cool down the Golden Pill.

When the Golden Pill rolled into Lin Zhen's hand, it released a pervasive fragrance, spinning brightly under the sunlight, its beauty leaving everyone in marvel.

"A Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!" Tian Hen exclaimed loudly.

"Exactly, it's a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. Qian Tong's Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, as far as I know, can resurrect a person who died within three days. But the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills that I can make can extend that resuscitation period to seven days. So, you may call it a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, but definitely not the low-quality version made by Qian Tong."

Though no experiments had been conducted, Lin Zhen's pill had a color, smell, and other qualities that indicated that his Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was superior to that of Qian Tong's.

After saying this, Lin Zhen pocketed the pill, "If you do not believe me, one of you can commit suicide now, let's see if I can bring him back."

Tian Hen waved his hand, "No need. I recognize the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. This is definitely it, I have no doubts about its potency."

"That's good. Now you tell me, with my Alchemy skills, why would I care about Qian Tong's junk elixirs? Let's call it a day, everyone please go back."

As Lin Zhen turned to leave, Tian Hen and others were taken aback.

Chapter 827: Chapter 830: Aim, Endless Star Sea!_1

Seeing Lin Zhen ready to leave, Tian Hen and others were momentarily taken aback.

They had imagined countless outcomes on their way here, even considering the possibility of Jin Nuo turning hostile and fighting against them.

However, none of them anticipated this twist; Lin Zhen was actually a Saint-Level Alchemist.

A sense of absurdity surged through Tian Hen and his companions. Had they known earlier that Lin Zhen was a Saint-Level Alchemist even more powerful than Qian Tong, they wouldn't have gone through the hardship of endorsing him.

They could have directly approached Lin Zhen to purchase elixirs.

However, it seemed that they had offended Lin Zhen now, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

Seeing Lin Zhen turning to leave, Tian Hen hastily spoke, "Wait, Lin…Saint Master Lin, may we have a word with you?"

"No time!"

"I'm willing to pay a high price to purchase your elixirs!"

Lin Zhen paused for a moment, "I'm not short of money."

"I will trade with medicinal materials!"

"I will offer spiritual treasures!"

"I will trade with cultivation methods!"

Without turning his head, Lin Zhen walked into the house, paying no heed to the pleading voices from the group behind him.

Finally, Tian Hen gritted his teeth and said, "Saint Master, could I add you as a friend in the Dimensional Universe? Once we reach the Endless Star Sea, I'm willing to exchange God Crystals for your elixirs. The specifics can be discussed later."

As he said this, a notification in the Dimensional Universe popped up, showing that Tian Hen had sent a friend request to Lin Zhen.

At this moment, Jin Nuo discreetly informed Lin Zhen through the Dimensional Universe that Tian Hen was the fourth resident to stay behind in the Holy Land of the Soul Lock Platform, and that he was a powerful individual. Adding him as a friend was undoubtedly beneficial.

Lin Zhen accepted Tian Hen's friend request, then returned to his room to pack his belongings.

The news that Lin Zhen was not only a Saint-Level Alchemist but was even more potent than Qian Tong quickly spread through the Dimensional Universe.

The entire Original World was shaken. Lin Zhen's frequency of topping headline news seemed too high.

He managed to cause a stir with large-scale news every now and then, which was undeniably sensational. In the entire history of the Original World, there had only been three known Saint-Level Alchemists. Now, with Lin Zhen's emergence, the total increased to four.

Vice Chairman Long Ge'er of the Association of Alchemists immediately contacted Lin Zhen, first conveying his congratulations, and then informing him that the Association of Alchemists had decided to commission a sculpture of him.

The Association of Alchemists had three statues- namely, Pill God Shui Wuhen, Elixir Saint Xi Erman, and Dan King Qian Tong.

These three were Saint-Level Alchemists, and only a Saint-Level Alchemist was worthy of having a statue.

Qian Tong was once hailed as a living legend. Now, the living legend had passed away, being replaced by a younger and more powerful Lin Zhen.

The Association even wanted Lin Zhen to take up the position of vice-chairman, but Lin Zhen refused. He didn't want to be bound by cumbersome tasks.

Long Ge'er immediately offered a compromise and gave Lin Zhen an honorary vice-chairmanship. His position in the Association was second only to the chairman, and he wasn't burdened with any duties.

This time, Lin Zhen didn't refuse. After all, the status of a vice-chairman was more prestigious than that of a Great Elder. There was no reason for him to decline.

Countless people started to seek friendship with Lin Zhen, attempting to purchase the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill from him.

However, Lin Zhen had no plans of mass-producing elixirs through alchemy. He was out of time; it was time for him to leave.

"Lin Zhen, have you really decided to leave now?"

Jin Nuo looked at Lin Zhen, who had finished packing, with some regrets.

There was just over a month left for the decennial contest of the Holy Land. However, Lin Zhen couldn't wait. His two sons were in the Endless Star Sea, where danger could strike at any moment. He couldn't afford to waste time idly in the Holy Land.

"Yes, Fifth Senior Brother. Though I don't wish to, I can't stay put. I fear I won't be able to cultivate in peace."

"True, if you can't cultivate in tranquillity, no amount of hard work will be beneficial. Lin Zhen, you're still unable to achieve a state of utter calm."

Lin Zhen gave a bitter smile, "There are some matters one cannot easily let go."

"Well, if that's the case, just go. You've already reached the twelfth level of the Thirty-Three Sky Tower; your results couldn't possibly fall into the Earth Class. Leaving aside all else, remember, once you reach the Endless Star Sea, you can't stay there forever. Within ninety years, you must return at least once for the centennial student graduation exam. Your results will determine whether you'll be allowed to remain in the Holy Land."

"Fifth Senior Brother, I understand all this. But I have a favor to ask you."

"Speak."

"May I engrave two stone tablets in the Holy Land? As you know, I have a double identity, cultivating both within and outside the Holy Land. As long as I have the engraved stone tablets, I won't stagnate in the Endless Star Sea."

Jin Nuo considered it and nodded, "That seems reasonable. For others, it would be impossible. But you're different. Only when your strength is sufficient to overlook all others will you have the possibility of succeeding as the resident of the Holy Land. Which two stone tablets have you set your sights on?"

"One would be the Shadowless Step which I'm currently learning. It's necessary for me."

"Alright, I see your mastery of the Shadowless Step is exceptional, I can engrave a copy for you."

"For the second stele, I want to learn the Luo Heavenly Escape."

Jin Nuo was slightly taken aback: "Are you sure you want to learn this?"

The Luo Heavenly Escape was a technique left by the first Holy Land Resident on the stele, which was also Jin Nuo's senior brother. It was created based on teleportation.

This technique allows one to travel through elemental energy and teleport at will. Moreover, if one delved deep enough, it would even enable teleportation across vast distances.

However, learning this technique is extremely difficult, and it would take tens of millions of years to fully comprehend it.

Therefore, very few Holy Land Warriors would choose to study this stele, as it's impossible to fully grasp the essence of the technique in just a hundred years, and thus it serves little practical use.

Lin Zhen's decision to engrave this stele would mean permanently keeping its knowledge, which to some extent seemed somewhat like cheating.

Lin Zhen looked at Jin Nuo with anticipation: "Fifth Brother, I know this request is a bit demanding, but I can assure you that I will return to the Holy Land within ninety years to take the graduation exam. If I'm not mistaken, if I can clear twenty floors of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower by that time, I would be eligible to erect a stele in the Holy Land, right?"

"That's correct. Any warrior who can clear twenty levels within a hundred years not only has the right to erect a stele, but also has the privilege to continue practicing in the Holy Land and choose to engrave a stele, with a time limit of a thousand years."

"That's what I thought. I promise that when I return, I'll be able to clear more than twenty floors. If I can't accomplish that, Fifth Brother, you can take back the stele I've engraved. If I do succeed, then Brother Fifth will not be considered to have broken the rules."

Jin Nuo nodded slightly upon hearing this. In this way, it didn't really seem like he was breaking any rules. In the worst-case scenario, he could just take back the engraved stele within a hundred years.

However, in Jin Nuo's heart, he really didn't want to do this. He believed that with Lin Zhen's current strength, getting through the twentieth floor in a hundred years was definitely not a dream.

"Alright! As you wish!"

Jin Nuo agreed and quickly engraved the two steles that Lin Zhen requested and transferred them into Lin Zhen's Dimensional Universe.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother!" Lin Zhen respectfully thanked Jin Nuo.

"No need for formalities. Since you're leaving, I can at least fulfill this request."

"Fifth Brother, in this year's new disciples intake, my family members and two people from the Fire Kirin clan will be participating in the Holy Land selection. If they fail the selection, Fifth Brother can dismiss them. But if they succeed and come to the Holy Land, I hope Fifth Brother would help take care of them. After all, most of them are women, and I don't want anyone to take advantage of them."

Jin Nuo solemnly reassured him: "Rest assured, as long as they can enter Falling Star Lake, they are like my own family. Nobody can hurt a hair on their heads. The kind of thing that happened in the New World, will never happen in the Holy Land. This is the safest place in the entire Original World."

Having secured Jin Nuo's promise, Lin Zhen finally felt relieved.

If even Star-Picking Island was not safe, then there probably wouldn't be any safe place in the whole Original World.

"Fifth Brother, Lin Zhen shall take his leave."

Jin Nuo waved his hand: "The sooner you go, the earlier you return."

Traveling by dolphin, Lin Zhen passed through the misty area and then through the portal back to Qin City.

He headed straight to the Association of Alchemists.

In the Association's main hall, the construction of Lin Zhen's statue was near completion, life-sized and almost identical in appearance.

The statue of Qian Tong had been moved to the fourth position.

Beneath the statue, there was an introduction about Lin Zhen being the youngest Saint-Level Alchemist in history and the honorary vice-president of the Alchemist Association.

Behind it, there were some smaller characters introducing Lin Zhen's achievements, but Lin Zhen didn't linger to read them.

He walked through the main hall and went straight to his floating villa in the Association.

Ning Qingxuan was still practicing there.

Just like she had anticipated Lin Zhen's arrival, she had even prepared a lavish lunch in the villa.

"Xuan'er, did you know I was coming?" asked Lin Zhen, surprised.

"Of course. Don't I even know the character of the man I love? Your son is in danger on the Endless Battlefield. I knew you couldn't stay home at ease. Now that things are settled, I knew you would be leaving, and by my calculations, it should be about today."

Lin Zhen felt touched. Xuan'er really understood him and didn't question him about his past family matters. She completely trusted him to handle these matters well.

The two had lunch together, and then, before dusk fell, they made love, and Lin Zhen left.

"Xuan'er, you rest. I left you some elixirs that will help you cultivate. I hope when I return, Xuan'er will have reached the God Transformation stage."

"Yes, you don't have to worry about me. Perhaps by the time I end my closed-door cultivation, you'll be back."

Leaving a tender kiss on Ning Qingxuan's forehead, Lin Zhen turned around and left.

He then went back to the Fire Kirin Clan to take care of some matters. However, he wasn't too worried about this place considering that Su Mingyue and An Ning were surely going to the Holy Land.

Knowing that Lin Zhen was going to the Endless Star Sea, all his wives were worried and gave him endless reminders and advice.

After spending the night there, Lin Zhen left early the next morning before his tired wives woke up.

The first ray of dawn fell on Lin Zhen's face.

Lin Zhen tilted his head up, his eyes piercing the sky. His destination was the endless starry sea!

Chapter 828: Chapter 831: Adventurer's Guild_1

Setting off for Endless Star Sea is not as simple as just getting up and going.

The so-called Endless Star Sea broadly refers to the massive expanse of the endless starry sky within the Original World. Its span and volume are unimaginable, with no means of calculation.

Just like in the New World, no one could measure the area or volume of the universe; similar is the case with the Endless Star Sea in the Original World.

The place Lin Zhen wished to visit was part of the Endless Battlefield.

The Endless Battlefield is the place where the races of the Endless Star Sea and the Ground Clans of the Original World wage their wars. It is a narrow zone stretching for tens of millions of light-years and spanning a width of a million light-years across the starry sky of tens of thousands of kingdoms. However, despite its enormous size, this area is just a small fraction of the Endless Star Sea.

One would have to pass through the nearby starry sky, sail through a buffer zone, venture through a deserted area, cross a meteor belt, and then finally enter the Endless Battlefield. It's a long journey.

Few people knew the location of the teleportation array within the celestial expanse after crossing the buffer zone. If one were to rely solely on their strength to get there, even tens of thousands of years would be insufficient to reach the Endless Battlefield. Hence, they must travel via the teleportation array.

If you're to use the teleportation array, you wouldn't find it alone. One must accompany certain groups headed towards the Endless Star Sea, groups such as merchant convoys or adventurers.

Lin Zhen was now quite famous in the Original World. His repeated exposure, coupled with his recent ascension to the status of a Saint-Level Alchemist, meant that hardly anyone in the entire Original World did not recognize his face.

Such notoriety would undoubtedly make his search for a group to venture into the Endless Star Sea very liable to exposure and likely to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Lin Zhen prepared to alter his appearance slightly.

While Morphing Skill could change one's look, it was merely a means of deception and easily seen through.

But Lin Zhen had other methods.

Qian Tong knew how to concoct countless elixirs. Apart from Yang Hua Pill, Mental power God Pill, and the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, there was a very useful Disguise Medicine.

This drug, when evenly applied, could alter a person's appearance and temperament. Although the change would not be vastly different from their original appearance, it was certainly untraceable, making one seem like an entirely different person at first glance.

After making some alterations to his face and concealing his aura, Lin Zhen transformed into a rugged, tough-looking man with dark skin.

He shed all clothes related to the Holy Land, stowed away all Alchemist-related items, put on a dragon scale's sleeved vest, and wore a necklace made out of magic wolf teeth around his neck.

Light Annihilation was carried as a belt, and the long, black hair was tied up neatly with a silver hairband.

With black pants, black cowhide boots, and a not-so-advanced Space Ring on his finger.

Exposing his solidly built muscular arms, he emanated a ruggedly fierce aura when he stood there.

His current image was that of a seasoned adventurer – someone of moderate wealth, neither too rich nor too poor, someone who was skilled yet not overly powerful, someone with a taste but not outstandingly so.

Gently touching the stubble on his chin, Lin Zhen nodded satisfactorily.

In this guise, no one would have a hint that he was Lin Zhen.

"No problem now. All I need to do is find a group that is headed towards the Endless Battlefield and accompany them."

Lin Zhen strode through the streets of Qin City and entered the Adventurers Guild.

The Adventurers Guild was actually the biggest organization in the Original World. The fate of the Martial Artists was to fight and explore, and there are dangers everywhere in the Original World. Every day, countless adventurers go through quests seeking resources, earning money to sustain their families and their cultivation.

It can be said that there is an Adventurers Guild almost everywhere in the Original World. Even a small city, a small town, or even a rural area would have one.

Compared to Alchemists, the number of adventurers was tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of times that of Alchemists!

Lin Zhen, due to the Black Hole Devour, followed the path of an Alchemist after coming to the Original World.

With this money-making tool, Lin Zhen didn't need to wander around to cultivate, as he had a massive amount of money flowing into his hands, giving him a life better than anyone else.

In this respect, Lin Zhen didn't truly understand the struggles of common people. He was oblivious to the dangers and trials common martial artists had to endure to earn money, and that too in meager amounts.

So, it can be said that adventurers are the true portrayal of most martial artists in the Original World. Lin Zhen belongs to those who always walked a high-end path, interacting with Alchemists and Holy Land Warriors, the lofty figures.

This time, was Lin Zhen's first foray into the world of low-level martial artists.

The Adventurers Guild was situated in the western part of Qin City, right in the civilian district, a bustling market area.

On the streets leading to the Guild, the place was teeming with people.

As Lin Zhen walked down the street, countless people were trying to strike up a conversation with him.

"Bro! Want some good stuff? Jar Flower from the Flying Phoenix County. Have a taste, and I guarantee you'll never forget it!"

"My! Brother, you have such a fantastic body. You seem like the type who's very capable. The girls at our Yihong Pavilion love guests like you. Why don't you come and have some fun?"

"Young man, looking for work? Catch barbarian women in Heavenly Ridge, catch one for three thousand dollars. You're in the Longevity Realm, just listen to me, you'll earn tens of thousands in a day!"

Lin Zhen hummed and hawed as he walked forward, not speaking much with anyone. He knew that these touts outside the Adventurers' Guild were generally no good.

If they're not dealing with contraband, they're slavers, all involved in the business of murder and smuggling. Of the people he's seeing now, at least a third are probably wanted criminals.

Although Lin Zhen himself was once the most wanted criminal, he really couldn't respect these people.

Seeing Lin Zhen's expression, those people knew there was no hope, and since Lin Zhen seemed like a seasoned veteran who wouldn't fall for their tricks, they gradually dispersed.

Upon entering the main door of the Adventurers' Guild, the atmosphere inside isn't much better than outside, a strong smell of cheap tobacco and alcohol hits him square in the face.

Lin Zhen slightly wrinkled his brow; he was already used to good drinks, suddenly smelling these scents was somewhat foreign to him.

But he quickly adjusted, heading to the Guild's front desk.

"What would you like to drink, sir?" a tavern keeper asked.

Lin Zhen didn't ask for the fancy stuff, but pointed to the massive beer barrel and said, "Give me ten pounds of the yellow beer!"

"You got it!"

The tavern keeper showed a smile and filled a huge cup for Lin Zhen to the brim.

Taking the beer in one hand, Lin Zhen took a hefty gulp; some of the liquid splashed out and slid over his solid muscles.

"Sir, are you about to travel?"

"Yes, I'm planning a trip and wondering if there's any caravans on the same route?"

"There's a notice board over there where a lot of teams recruit and post tasks. You can go and check."

Lin Zhen had already seen the wall in the distance. With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see the tasks on the the wall, but none of them were headed to the Endless Battlefield, so he didn't bother going over.

"None of these tasks are headed where I'm going, so I'm wondering if there are any other teams?"

"Where are you trying to go, sir?" the tavern keeper asked.

Lin Zhen took another swig of beer, gulping down about five pounds worth: "The Endless Battlefield."

The tavern keeper seemed to pause for a moment, then gently shook his head: "Sir, your request is a bit farfetched. The Endless Battlefield is an extremely dangerous place, even the warriors in the Longevity Stage seldom go there, let alone the Endless Battlefield. Even the tasks to the Endless Star Sea are rare. That place is the turf of the Imperial Clan, it's best for us Ground Clans not to go there if we can avoid it."

"I know all that, but I have to go there, so… "

Lin Zhen lifted his hand, revealing several gold coins in his palm.

A gold coin was worth one hundred, so five gold coins here made five hundred, not a small figure.

The tavern keeper glanced at it and said somewhat hesitantly, "Sir…."

Lin Zhen lifted his hand again, and the gold coins had become ten: "I know there are many teams operating under the radar, so they won't post their missions on the board. Introduce me to one of them, and these are all yours."

The tavern keeper glanced around and swiftly pocketed the gold coins in Lin Zhen's hand.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to help, but there really haven't been any teams going to the Endless Battlefield recently. The reason being that the people of the Imperial Clan in the Endless Star Sea are frantically searching for someone. It seems that an important person from their side has gone missing, and it seems it happened near the surface of the Original World. They've already traced the disappearance to the Buffer Zone, so many teams dare not go there at the moment."

"So there's not a single one?" Lin Zhen frowned.

"There is one. A few days ago, a team from the northern plains of Heavenly Ridge was recruiting martial artists as bodyguards, requiring at least the Longevity Stage. As you know, Heavenly Ridge is very far away. This team plans to pass through a section of the Buffer Zone, crossing the edge of the Endless Battlefield to reach the other side of Heavenly Ridge directly. If you want to apply, I can introduce you."

Lin Zhen knew that to cross the Heavenly Ridge, apart from climbing the mountain there was a better way: going through the star space. Because the interior of the Original World is actually egg-shaped, there's curvature, making the star space often a shortcut.

"I'll give it a try, what kind of team is it?"

The tavern keeper whispered, "It's a poaching team. They specialize in hunting rare spirit beasts and taking them to the other side of Heavenly Ridge for the pleasure of the nobles."

Lin Zhen nodded. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Original World.

Once captured, the fate of the beasts is often tragic. Some would be youthful-looking girls, taken away to be used for pleasure. Others are killed for making medicine or clothes.

This kind of poaching is illegal, all countries have banned it, and poaching teams cannot cross towns.

So these teams always need to hire bodyguards and follow very covert routes to ensure they're not caught.

Lin Zhen, being a Galaxy Beast himself, doesn't like poachers either; however, right now, he doesn't have the time nor the energy to worry about these things. Since this team is headed for the edge of the Endless Battlefield, he should give it a try.

"Sir, this is the identity you need. His Majesty asks me to remind you to keep it confidential."

Upon obtaining the information about the poaching team, Lin Zhen didn't rush over immediately. Instead, he first fabricated an identity in the Dimensional Universe.

Forging an identity isn't a simple task as it requires the help of someone inside the Dimensional Universe company.

Lin Zhen did not bother his Fifth Elder Brother with this; instead, he had Zhu Ziheng, the Imperial Emperor of the Da Qin Empire, handle it.

Given that the Dimensional Universe company is located within Da Qin's territory, Zhu Ziheng's prominence couldn't be disregarded.

In the Dimensional Universe, one of Zhu Ziheng's guards sent Lin Zhen a new identity number.

The name Lin Zhen used for the identity was Lin Xun; he's supposed to be an adventurer from the Da Qin Empire.

There isn't much of a difference between the forged identity and a new one. Lin Zhen now has two names under his Dimensional Universe identification number, and he can use either one of the identities to add friends.

If he adds friends using Lin Xun's identity, they would naturally see him as Lin Xun.

This method could be described less as forgery and more as having two identities in one.

"Please expresses my thanks to His Majesty for his help."

The guard disappeared silently, and Lin Zhen closed the Dimensional Universe and headed for the location the bartender had mentioned.

The risk-taking team's departure location was in the suburbs of Qin City, and Lin Zhen arrived there via the teleportation array.

However, using the teleportation array required a fee this time. Without using Lin Zhen's identity, nobody would know that he is an honored citizen of the Qin Kingdom.

The suburbs were different from the city center. Instead of numerous buildings, there were numerous small residential buildings that sprawled across a large area.

When Lin Zhen arrived at a relatively spacious building, he pressed the doorbell.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Xiao Chen from the Adventurer's Guild referred me."

"Put your hand on the doorbell so we can scan your identity."

They were involved in illegitimate practices and any careless move could lead to persecution by the police. These people were extremely cautious. Thankfully, Lin Zhen had just obtained a new identity.

The identity scan was completed quickly after he pressed his hand against it.

The identity that Zhu Ziheng had prepared for Lin Zhen was very comprehensive, with complete information and no apparent flaws, easily deceiving these people.

"Good, you can enter."

The door opened just a crack, and Lin Zhen stepped inside.

After making several turns inside, he came to the back door of the small building.

Standing at the entrance was a man with an eye patch, in the early stages of the Three-Flowers realm.

"Lin Xun?"

"Yes."

"There is a cage over there with a ghoul inside. Enter the cage and eliminate the ghoul to pass the test… if you fail, we'll do our best to save you."

The man stepped aside, and Lin Zhen saw a cage in the corner of the room.

Surrounding it was a crowd of people, all looking at Lin Zhen with scrutinizing gazes. These people all had an air of ferocity about them—it was clear they were accustomed to life-and-death battles.

Lin Zhen sneered, "What's the big deal? A mere ghoul? Open the cage. I'll crush it!"

The one-eyed man's eyes lit up with satisfaction, and he motioned for Lin Zhen to approach the cage.

The cage was double-layered to prevent the ghoul from rushing out. Lin Zhen stepped into the first compartment, which was then closed. The second compartment opened, and Lin Zhen walked inside before it too was closed.

The ghoul in the corner of the room raised its head, roared, and rushed towards him with its bloodied maw wide open.

The ghoul, roughly equivalent to a master at the Longevity Stage, isn't a Galaxy Beast. It usually scavenges for food from carcasses, but sometimes it preys on living creatures too.

Lin Zhen flicked his hand. The Light Annihilation at his waist turned into a sword and he began battling the ghoul.

After several modifications by Lin Zhen, the Light Annihilation, though not a divine treasure, is of high quality and ranks as a treasure, second only to divine treasures.

Apart from that, the Light Annihilation can change its shape at any time, which is handy.

"Wow! Nice weapon!" the one-eyed man exclaimed, his eyes shining.

Lin Zhen and the Ghoul were fiercely fighting inside the cage. About three minutes later, with a swing of his sword, Lin Zhen beheaded the Ghoul!

Putting away the Light Annihilation, Lin Zhen's chest heaved slightly. It was a strenuous fight, but he still had energy left.

"Crack~!"

The cage opened again, and the one-eyed man let Lin Zhen out.

"Hahaha! Good job, I'm very satisfied with your strength. Welcome to our team. I assume you are aware of our mission and path, so I won't dwell on it. Once we reach our destination, you'll receive a reward of twenty million!"

Lin Zhen's eyes glinted with excitement: "Deal! I came here for the high commission. As long as the money is right, it's not a problem who I have to deal with."

At this moment, a woman in a black bodysuit said, "Don't be too presumptuous. Your power is only above average, and there's still a gap between you and the top-tier Longevity Stage fighters. The enemies we are facing are beyond your imagination?"

Lin Zhen scorned, "What kind of enemy? I know this team is taking the Endless Star Sea path. Are there any national police and the races of captured prey that can catch up to us?"

"Idiot! Going through the Endless Star Sea, we might encounter races from the Star Sea. Lately, there has been some big news from the Star Sea – an important person from Qingqiu Mountain seems to have gone missing. The Buffer Zone is on high alert – does our team seem like it could benefit from encountering these ruthless races? You're truly naive!"

The woman in black mocked Lin Zhen. He was stunned for a moment, and a trace of worry appeared on his face, "Then I…"

"Enough of your stammering! Once you step through this door, there's no turning back. If you want to retreat, then the gates of Hell will open for you!"

The woman in black turned cold, and the one-eyed man also began to reach behind him with ill-intent. If Lin Zhen wanted to back out, it seemed that these two were ready to take action right away.

The dozen or so Longevity Stage martial artists on the side stared at Lin Zhen with hostile expressions. They worked in a dangerous business and couldn't risk their plans being leaked. If Lin Zhen tried to leave, they wouldn't hesitate to act.

Lin Zhen seemed to steel his resolve. "Forget it! Since I'm here, I should stay here. What's so frightening about the Endless Star Sea? Fortune favors the brave! I'll take on this job!"

The woman in black's face softened, "That's the spirit, Long, take him around and show him what needs to be protected."

"Come on, follow me."

Long called Lin Zhen, asking him to follow.

Lin Zhen followed him. After opening a corner door, he discovered that the small building had a vast underground area.

Two rows of huge character iron cages were set up on either side. Between the metal bars, a layer of faintly shimmering stars floated around, transparent, but separating the inside of the cage from the outside. The creatures inside couldn't get out, and the outside couldn't get in.

In the first cage on the left, a brightly colored parrot was imprisoned.

"We captured this in the bird gathering area of Heavenly Ridge, the Five-color Parrot. It can mimic human language very clearly. This little guy can fetch this price in Heavenly Ridge!" Long raised a hand.

"Fifty million!" Lin Zhen was taken aback.

"Hell no, five hundred million! This Five-color Parrot has a lifespan of a million years, can sing, and can converse with humans. Its main drawback is that it can't transform; otherwise, it could sell for up to five billion."

Lin Zhen showed a surprised look, he didn't expect such an inconspicuous bird to be worth so much.

Long pointed to the first cage on the right: "Look at this one, a Suan Ni cub. It's part of the Galaxy Beast family, but it hasn't reached the transformation stage yet. Someone in our nation has preordered it, and it's worth two billion!"

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on the Suan Ni, who looked like a small lion.

This is a cub of the Galaxy Beast family, and it will be very fierce when it grows up. He didn't expect it to be caught and brought here.

"Check this out, a nest of Azure Jaos, seven in total. A single one sells for one hundred million, but if someone wants the whole nest, we'd sell it for five hundred million."

"And this one, a Divine Tortoise. Suitable for domestication and symbolic of good fortune, it'll undoubtedly sell well when we get back. It's just a little small; there are over forty here. We plan to sell them for ten million each back home."

"These two are quite incredible, young girls from the Jade Rabbit Clan. We got them right after they reached the transformation stage. They can turn into adorable little girls or little rabbits. They are cuddly to play with and can keep you warm. Without ten billion, nobody is taking these two!"

Lin Zhen looked at two trembling girls in an iron cage. The two girls, with snow-white skin and no clothing, were curled up in a corner, daring not to move. Seeing someone coming, they became even more nervous and covered their sensitive parts, not daring to lift their heads.

Lin Zhen walked past them with a blank expression. The two girls were very pitiful, but he wouldn't foolishly show any compassion. He wouldn't risk the bigger picture over such minor matters.

After looking around, he saw various rare alien beasts, and some had already been killed. The living ones were also pitiful. Fortunately, there were no Kirin cubs. Otherwise, Lin Zhen wondered if he could resist taking action.

As they were about to turn back at the last corner, Lin Zhen noticed a small fox in a tiny cage in the corner.

It was a white fox, about the size of a regular puppy, and its fur was dirty.

The little fox had a pair of large eyes. When Lin Zhen passed by, it lifted its head and took a glance.

"This was caught in Heavenly Ridge. It's injured. We thought the beasts of Heavenly Ridge would all be extraordinary, but this one is quite ordinary. It's not a Three-eyed Spirit Fox, nor a Three-Tailed Demon Fox, and not a Flying Fox. If it weren't for its decent fur, we wouldn't have bothered bringing it back. We're short-handed because we're setting off soon. Otherwise, we would have just killed it, skinned it, and made a white fox fur cloak. With that, we could get one or two million."

It was evident that Long didn't think much of this non-transformable little fox. But as Lin Zhen looked into its large eyes, he seemed to sense the pride and sadness within the small fox.

It was a… very human-like feeling.

After taking a tour with Ah Long, he said to Lin Zhen, "You've seen everything we have here, right? We've paid quite a price to get them, not to mention the risk of being arrested by the police, the military, or hunted down by their species."

"Hiring you guys is to prevent risks. If any unexpected things happen during the journey, you all need to back me up. I don't need to say this, do I?"

Lin Zhen nodded, and squatting down in front of the last cage, he watched the little fox inside.

The little fox was lying there motionless, its eyes which were open just now, were now closed.

Lin Zhen felt like he was hallucinating, to him, the fox didn't seem special at all.

Standing up and shaking his head, Lin Zhen followed Ah Long out of the room where alien beasts were kept.

Lin Zhen learned that the poaching team consists of more than ten people, the leader was a woman in black, Bai Bing.

Ah Long was her number one enforcer, and there were a dozen others, mostly in charge of caring for the spirit beasts.

These people came from the other side of the Heavenly Ridge, the Prairie Nation.

Apart from him, in the team, there was a group of hired people who were all in the Longevity Stage.

Since both Bai Bing and Ah Long were at the Three Flowers Realm, the people they hired couldn't surpass them, lest any accident happen that they could not control.

After Ah Long finished introducing the situation, he promptly announced that the team was ready to set off.

They left in a hurry; evidently, they received news that their poaching team had been reported, so they needed to leave as quickly as possible to avoid getting caught by the police station.

As soon as they decided to leave, the whole room rumbled, then just like that, it lifted up!

It was not until then that Lin Zhen realized this building was a flying machine!

Once the flying machine took off, it immediately sped to the nearest satellite and used the teleportation array.

Having spent quite some days around Qin City, Lin Zhen had no idea about the existence of this teleportation array.

There were several mercenaries of the Longevity Stage around Lin Zhen.

Next to Lin Zhen, there was a martial artist named Luo Huan.

When Lin Zhen mentioned that he had never heard of the teleportation array, Luo Huan sneered, "This just shows you're an amateur in this. Each line of work has its tricks and characteristics. If these guys didn't have some aces up their sleeves, they would have been caught long ago."

A martial artist beside him nodded, "Absolutely, these private teleportation arrays are not publicly known, outsiders wouldn't know about them, even their travel routes are kept secret."

"Exactly, huh, don't chat too much with this kind of people. We're leaving the Original World's surface soon. It's my first time going this far. If I can make twenty million at the Prairie Nation, I don't want to come back for the time being."

"Really? Although twenty million isn't a small sum, home is where the heart is, I still want to return to Qin Kingdom."

"Aren't you living wherever the money is? Having cultivated to the Longevity Realm, my family is long gone. Being single, when I am well-fed, my whole family isn't hungry. I'm going to put off returning…"

Listening to Luo Huan and other mercenaries' conversation, Lin Zhen slowly closed his eyes.

The trip to the Endless Star Sea is a long journey, and he has just set off.

The flying machine always chooses the most difficult routes, such as the meteorite area, the asteroid belt, sometimes passing through an unknown teleportation array, and arriving in an unfamiliar star space.

A month had gradually passed.

Lin Zhen had no idea how far they had gone by now, but one thing's for sure, they are definitely far away from the Original World's surface, even passed the buffer zone between the surface and the Endless Star Sea.

Because twenty days after departure, Lin Zhen had lost all signals of the Dimensional Universe.

The farthest place that the signal from the Dimensional Universe Company on the ground can reach is the edge of the Buffer Zone. There is no Dimensional Universe signal deep in the Endless Star Sea.

There is a signal belongs to the companies within the Endless Star Sea, but Lin Zhen doesn't have the identity of being in the Endless Star Sea, so naturally, he couldn't receive anything.

There are benefits to leading a fully enclosed life, Lin Zhen was left with nothing to do other than practice cultivation.

Apart from providing food every day, Bai Bing and others did not have any communication with Lin Zhen. They're simply related by employment and don't need to say much.

During this period, Lin Zhen was cultivating wholeheartedly, his split spirit was inside his body comprehending the Shadowless Step stele, while his physical body was meditating.

He was currently at Longevity Level 7, working hard to dissolve the medicinal property. After dissolving it, he can break through to Level Eight.

Since this Luo Huan seemed to have traveled such difficult paths a few times, he seemed quite familiar with them.

There were also many martial artists who were willing to ask him questions, giving him multiple chances to show off.

"Bro Huan, where are we now? How much longer until we reach our destination? My butt's killing me from sitting all day."

"We're currently navigating between the Buffer Zone and the Endless Battlefield. The advantage of being here is that we can enter either zone at any time, which makes it convenient if we need to run."

"So we're relatively safe now?"

"Can't really say so. Times are not very peaceful lately, there's no truly safe place. But I trust that we all won't be so unlucky as to encounter any species from the Endless Star Sea."

One Martial Artist said, "We might as well bump into some, why did we come here if not to protect people? If we encounter a small team from the Endless Star Sea, it would be a great opportunity to practice."

Luo Huan chuckled, "Fair point. I've once encountered a species from the Endless Star Sea myself. They weren't as terrifying as you all might imagine. We had a fight, both sides took some hits, and then we withdrew. Generally speaking, the species from the Endless Star Sea that wander around usually have power at the Longevity Stage Peak Level. We're all at Longevity Peak Level, so we can fight if we encounter them!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Zhen on the side, "There are some who haven't reached their peak yet and are just here to mess around and earn some bounty money. I, Luo Huan, truly look down on these types. If real danger were to occur, I absolutely wouldn't be concerned about whether he lives or dies."

"Haha! Bro Huan is right, we're here to protect those alien beasts, not some insignificant people."

As all these Martial Artists were at the Longevity Peak Level, it was natural for them to look down upon Lin Zhen, who hadn't yet reached his peak. Although their differences weren't too large, they still experienced some inexplicable sense of superiority.

For these mediocre provocations, Lin Zhen just slightly knitted his brows and continued his practice.

Then Long came over from the other side, Luo Huan immediately said, "Boss, get us something delicious, we've been flying in the ship for days, I'm about to turn into a bird from the bland tastes."

Long glanced at them, "Where can I get you delicious food? We're all rough men here, none of us prepared fresh meat in our inner worlds. We're low on dried meat too, just hang in there a little longer."

Luo Huan ground his teeth, "I noticed that some of the alien beasts here aren't worth much. Why not let us brothers have a little feast?"

Long glared at him, "Nonsense! What alien beast isn't valuable? You mercenary guys can eat if you want, but you gotta pay. I bet you guys can't afford it."

Luo Huan chuckled, "I heard that you guys were planning to kill a little fox to make a cloak. How about this? You can keep the fox skin, and we can stew the rest of the meat and soup to ease our tired days."

As a businessman, Long wouldn't make a losing deal. He rolled his eyes, "That sounds reasonable, but you still have to pay for the meat – one hundred thousand dollars!"

Luo Huan and others had a brief discussion. There were nine people who wanted to eat the meat. Each person could cough up ten thousand, which was not a problem at all. So someone asked Lin Zhen, "Hey, Lin Xun, you should also chip in ten thousand, how about we all eat together?"

Lin Zhen opened his eyes and gently shook his head.

Luo Huan's face darkened, "Fine, I'll pay twenty thousand. Some people really don't know how to behave!"

Seeing that they were willing to pay, Long immediately ran to the room at the back. The iron cage had wheels, so he directly pushed out the cage with the little fox.

The little fox seemed to be aware of its impending doom, huddling tremblingly in a corner.

"Get the pot ready, heat some water, clean the fox, remove the skin, and get it into the pot. Although it's small, it's better than those big foxes that reek, a pot of soup made from it would definitely be delicious!"

Long was grinning from ear to ear as he watched Luo Huan get ready. As long as it earns him money, he doesn't care about anything else.

Seeing Luo Huan about to open the cage and the little fox crouching in the corner with teardrops rolling down its eyes, Lin Zhen knitted his brows.

Although he had killed countless people, he didn't like this kind of bullying, and Luo Huan's repeated provocations also started to annoy Lin Zhen. He simply said to Long, "I'll buy that little fox. I hate the smell of blood while I'm practicing."

"You're buying? How much can you offer?" Long asked.

Lin Zhen held up two fingers, "Two million. But I don't have cash on me. When we get to our destination, as long as I'm still alive, you can deduct it from my bounty!"

Long quickly did the math in his head. The little fox had nice fur, but it was too small to make anything substantial, at most a shawl, and even in the Prairie Nation, it would only sell for around one to two million. With Lin Zhen offering two million, it was definitely a profitable deal.

"Alright, it's a deal. You'll have two million less when we get there, and there's no going back, not that it would matter if you did!"

"Fine, just keep it in this iron cage for this period, there won't be any issues with that right?"

"No problem, no problem at all. It's just a matter of feeding it a bit more, but this little creature doesn't eat much. You'd better keep an eye on it as well, I'm worried it might starve to death before we reach our destination."

Lin Zhen nodded his head, finalizing his purchase of the little fox.

From the side, Luo Huan and the others looked annoyed, "What's your deal, Lin Xun? Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me?"

Lin Zhen scoffed, "I have money, and I'm willing to spend. If you can offer more than two million, you can do whatever you want with this fox!"

Luo Huan pondered for a long time but gave up in the end. He couldn't bear to spend more money on the skinny fox.

The concept of spending twenty thousand and spending two million were worlds apart.

"You just wait, Lin Xun! You'd better hope that we don't run into any species from the Endless Star Sea, you won't even know how you died if we do!"

Luo Huan threw a harsh sentence to salvage some pride before he stormed off.

But what he didn't expect was that immediately after his words, the alarm in the ship suddenly rang out loudly!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 831: Chapter 834: Male or Female?_1

The alarm rang out, and Long's face changed dramatically!

"Not good! Invaders! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

On the big screen, a species from the Endless Star Sea appeared.

They were a team of nearly a hundred, clearly not belonging to the Ground Clans of the Original World.

Among this group of nearly a hundred, the majority had green faces and tusks, wielding long Grim Reaper Scythes in their hands, appearing as fierce ghosts, all of them were in the Longevity Realm.

There were also two leaders, dressed in black and white, their weapons were mourning sticks, in the Three Flowers Realm.

"Ghost Clan~!"

Long exclaimed in shock, and everyone's faces turned solemn.

The Ghost Clan was also one of the clans under the Imperial Clan, the main ghosts among them were Ghost Soldiers, in the Longevity Realm.

Impermanent Ghosts, in the Three Flowers Realm, were like the two they saw before them.

Moreover, Judge Ghosts and the Ghost King, these belonged to the God Transformation Realm.

They didn't expect to encounter the Ghost Clan here, everyone's mood was incredibly heavy.

Mainly because there were a bit too many of this group of ghosts, their side had just over thirty people at most, while the Ghost Clan warriors numbered seventy to eighty, more than twice their number, if a fight broke out, their chances of survival were slim.

At this point, their leader, Bai Bing, appeared, voluntarily stepping out of the aircraft.

She bowed to the two Impermanent Ghosts in black and white robes and said, "Gentlemen, we are not part of the Earthly Clans who are in opposition to the beings from Endless Star Sea. I have been travelling this path frequently, in fact, I've had more contact with the Endless Star Sea's species. I hope you both can let us off this time and in kindness, I am willing to offer a generous reward to treat you all to tea."

Bai Bing had dealt with this situation before, sometimes when dealing with reasonable parties, it was indeed possible to get by.

However, this time she had clearly miscalculated. The Black Impermanence let out a strange laugh: "Don't even try! The Endless Star Sea and the Original World are mortal enemies. Furthermore, the Imperial Clan has issued an order, we can't let anyone from the Ground Clan escape, even if we're wrong. Unless you hand over all your belongings and let my people search your inner world, don't even think about leaving!"

The moment these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.

Everyone could accept paying money, but opening their inner world was absolutely unacceptable. Every martial artist had their secrets, opening up one's inner world was something nobody could accept.

The White Impermanence also revealed a sinister smile on his ghostly face: "Don't agree? I knew you wouldn't agree, so leave your lives behind!"

The two Impermanent Ghosts waved their hands and the Ghost Soldiers behind them immediately swarmed forward, attacking the aircraft!

Long roared: "Protect these Alien Beasts!"

Saying this, he drew out a long knife and directly confronted the White Impermanence.

Bai Bing confronted Black Impermanence. All four of them were in the Three Flowers Realm, fighting together.

Bai Bing and Long dared to take this route because they were capable. They held their own against the Black and White Impermanence, and it didn't look like a victor would be decided anytime soon.

The remaining martial artists surged out from inside the aircraft and began to fight with the Ghost Soldiers.

The Ghost Soldiers greatly outnumbered them and with their Grim Reaper Scythes, their attack was fierce.

Lin Zhen, who was at the back of the crowd, saw Luo Huan, who was just making proud claims earlier, charge out of the aircraft and get dismembered by three Ghost Soldiers, his blood floated in the void.

At this point, Lin Zhen had no intention to stay within this squad any longer.

He also didn't want to get involved in any dealings with Alien Beasts, especially since after a month-long teleporting flight, the distance from the Ground of the Original World was now countless light-years away, they had even reached the edge of the Endless Battlefield.

His goal was to find his son, and the destination was the Endless Battlefield. Since they were close to their destination, he should leave.

This fight was just a dogfight in his eyes, it would be best if all of them died.

Just as he was about to leave the aircraft, a weak cry came from behind him.

It sounded like a child's cry, sweet and whiny.

He turned around and saw that it was the little fox who had been imprisoned in a cage, it actually managed to sit up and was softly calling out to Lin Zhen.

Its cries were filled with an obvious sense of longing. Lin Zhen might not understand fox language, but he could clearly feel the little fox's desire to leave with him.

Earlier, Lin Zhen had agreed to buy this little fox, mainly because he found Luo Huan and the others too repugnant, it wasn't out of any particular pity.

Because he could see that this little fox was quite ordinary, not some alien species, hence its value wasn't great.

However, the current cries of the little fox made Lin Zhen feel a bit of compassion.

"Forget it! Since it has come to this, it proves that there is some fate between me and this little fellow, so I'll take it along."

Lin Zhen knew that if he left the little fox here, it was most likely a death sentence, and taking it along wouldn't affect anything. He could consider it a small pet.

With a wave of his hand, the Huayun Sword appeared in his hand. With a slash, the alloy cage broke with ease!

With a soft wave, a gravitational force drew the little fox over, landing gently in his palm.

He initially wanted to put this little fox into his inner world, but recalling that there were other creatures in there like his mount, the large Roc Bird, the Double-headed Demon Dragon, and the Nine-headed Lion, he was afraid they might harm the little fox without proper instructions.

He didn't have the time for detailed explanations now, so he simply tucked the little fox on his chest.

The little fox was no bigger than a small puppy, so tucking it away wouldn't affect anything. Lin Zhen was confident that no one here posed a threat to him, and being at the edge of the Endless Battlefield now, there was nothing left for him to endure.

Looking out at the world from Lin Zhen's arms, the little fox gazed at the ferocious Ghost Clan with its round, innocent eyes, betraying a hint of fear as if utterly terrified.

Lin Zhen swung his sword once more, shattering all the cages to liberate the alien beasts trapped inside.

Still, there was no way Lin Zhen could take them away; doing this much was already an act of charity as far as he was concerned.

Stepping off the aircraft attracted the attention of Long.

During a lull in the fighting, Long glanced back and roared in fury, "Lin Xun! Have you lost your mind, you damned bastard? If these alien beasts escape, can you pay for the fucking losses?"

Lin Zhen glanced at Long, and a wave of Spiritual Power rushed out!

Bang~!

Long's head exploded on the spot, and he died without uttering a word.

This deed shocked the people around him, as well as Black and White Impermanence, and the little fox in Lin Zhen's arms, who merely stared at him with big eyes, too shocked to reveal any emotion.

With a single stroke, Lin Zhen killed Long, then stepped into the void killing a few Ghost Clan warriors with his Huayun Sword, starting a massacre!

Be they Three Flowers or Longevity Warriors, in Lin Zhen's eyes, they were worthless and easily defeated.

He left no survivors in his wake!

Lin Zhen understood that as a Longevity Warrior with such a display of strength, it would be wise not to reveal his identity. Therefore, neither the Ghost Clan, poacher groups, nor mercenaries could be allowed to survive.

With Lin Zhen's massacre underway, all were filled with fear!

Facing an enemy both ruthless and unbeatable, nobody was capable of maintaining their fighting spirit—some made a run for it.

But once Lin Zhen had made up his mind to take action, there would be no other opportunities for them. He released volley after volley of Kirin Guns, leaving none alive!

The ordinary Longevity mercenaries and ghost soldiers were incapable of defending against the Kirin Gun, and got killed on the spot as soon as they were hit.

Only Bai Bing and Black and White Impermanence, the Three Flowers Realm figures, could bear the attack.

Wielding his sword recklessly to block the bullets, Bai Bing shouted madly, "Ah! The Kirin Gun! I know who you are; you're Lin Zhen!"

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's name, Black and White Impermanence lost composure. They yelled, "Lin Zhen, you have quite some nerve! The Empress herself declared that you're the enemy of the Endless Star Sea species, yet you dare show up here!"

"It seems that none of you like me, but that's alright, as I'm not here to please you—I'm here for your souls!"

Lin Zhen stopped firing the Kirin Gun, and with that, he unleashed the Heart Sword!

Vroom~!

An invisible net of swords flew out, slicing Bai Bing and the Black and White Impermanence, the Three Flowers Realm figures, into tiny bits!

Looking down, Lin Zhen found the little fox staring at him without blinking.

"Hehe! What did you hear, little guy? Now you know my name is Lin Zhen, but I guess you don't understand what it means. That's alright, as you grow older, you will gradually come to understand."

As Lin Zhen gently stroked the little fox's head, he found that its fur was incredibly silky.

Curiously, he lifted the little fox out of his arms, examining it and asked, "Are you male or female?"

The little fox whimpered a little and its large tail mysteriously covered its lower body.

"Huh! Can you understand what I'm saying? Seems like you're not an ordinary breed."

As Lin Zhen spoke, he looked at the little fox's large tail covering its lower body and suddenly broke into a strange grin, "So, you know how to cover yourself. It's a mystery whether you're male or female. I guess I'll just have to check."

As he said that, Lin Zhen reached to lift its large tail.

The little fox struggled desperately, emitting soft whines. In its desperation, it bit Lin Zhen's finger.

But its teeth were so small they couldn't puncture Lin Zhen's skin. Not even an ordinary human would be affected let alone Lin Zhen who possessed a strong body.

Laughing heartily, Lin Zhen stroked the little fox's head, "It seems that luck is on my side. You're not an ordinary fox; what breed you are remains a mystery, but we'll find out when you grow up."

As Lin Zhen tried to put the little fox back into his inner world, the fox's little arms quickly clung onto Lin Zhen's hand, visibly indicating it didn't want to enter the inner world.

"That's fine too. If you enter the inner world, you probably wouldn't survive alone anyway. You can stick with me for now."

Once again, he placed the little fox within his shirt and looked up towards the distance.

In the dark and gloomy space, there was an endless expanse of ruins.

Meteors, asteroids, space debris, chaotic space-time flows, together with the destroyed planets formed a boundless scene of chaos.

The Endless Battlefield has arrived!

Chapter 832: Chapter 835: First Encounter_1

The Endless Battlefield, is a treasure spot amidst cosmic space, unlike any other starry skies.

Here exists the most complex terrain. Within space storms, there are raging energies. Any powered flying vehicle arriving here would lose function and turn into scrap metal.

Here, there are endless treasures, producing various rare minerals, growing countless rare medicinal materials, and even many treasures have emerged here.

Ever since records existed, the Endless Battlefield has been like this. It's one of the few places in cosmic space that is still not fully explored. It used to be adventurers' favorite destination.

Later, when the Imperial Clan and the Ground Clan of the Original World went to war, retreating back to the Endless Star Sea, this place became a disputed location.

Neither the Ground Clan nor the Imperial Clan were willing to abandon this treasure-rich place, and they endlessly fought over it.

Over time, the number of treasures here gradually decreased, but the conflict between the two sides could not be stopped. From both races, wave after wave of strong ones arrive, one batch after another entered, continuously fighting within an area spanning millions of light years, thus the Endless Battlefield was formed.

And in the Original World, the real masters disdain to fight over the ground, only those making their names in the Endless Battlefield, gaining others' awe, are considered high-level.

Lin Zhen, clutching the little fox in his arms, left the damaged flying vessel, heading towards the direction of the Endless Battlefield.

Planetary Instantaneous Movement!

Lin Zhen's instant movement could now fly out nearly a hundred thousand kilometers each time. After consecutive instant movements, he finally entered the area of the Endless Battlefield.

With the deepening of the distance, the surrounding scenery also started changing.

Bits of land floating in the void, is the characteristic of the Endless Battlefield.

Legend has it that countless years ago this was a large continent, but it was somehow shattered, forming countless small pieces of land.

Among them, the smallest are one or two square kilometers, the largest are over a million square kilometers.

This area even has the presence of air, condensed undispersed among the numerous floating continents. When martial artists arrive here, they don't even need to use their internal breath anymore.

Whiz, Whiz, Whiz~!!

Lin Zhen was flashing above chunks of land. Here, the visibility was not as clear as in space.

About an hour later, Lin Zhen had already delved deep into the Endless Battlefield.

There was a piece of floating land ahead.

From Lin Zhen's point of view, he could see the edge of the land's surface layer, layers of soil, rock, and core, all clear. He even saw the withered roots of plants sticking out at the fringe.

With a single instant move from Lin Zhen, he had just landed on this piece of land when instantly a sword light shot from straight ahead!

The sword Qi was fierce and the angle was tricky, it must have come from a master's hand!

Lin Zhen swung the Tianhuang Sword in his hand and countered with a strike, dissipating the incoming sword Qi.

His body shook slightly, and Lin Zhen was almost forced to step back by the impact of the sword Qi. Upon setting foot on the land, he nearly fell off the edge.

He looked ahead and saw that a few hundred meters away, four people were standing.

Among them was a middle-aged man from the Human Clan, brandishing a long sword with Three Flowers rolling above his head. A substantial divine sense swept over Lin Zhen's body. The sword Qi just now was emitted by him.

"Divine Transformation Middle Stage!"

Lin Zhen's expression became serious. He had once defeated Qian Tong, who was also in the Divine Transformation Middle Stage, but Qian Tong had reached that stage purely through medication, his strength was poor, and there was a considerable gap between him and the man he was currently facing.

Sure enough, it was the Endless Star Sea, even in such a desolate wilderness, he could encounter a master of Divine Transformation.

Beside the middle-aged Man Clan, there were three martial artists, all of them at the Three Flowers Peak stage. You could tell they were battle-tested, their strength not to be underestimated.

After the middle-aged member of the Human Clan made a sword strike, he slightly cupped his hands towards Lin Zhen, "Young man, pardon me. My divine sense noticed someone approaching, in case it was those folks from the Imperial Clan trying to ambush, I had to strike first. I hope you understand."

Seeing Lin Zhen was not of the Endless Star Sea races, the faces of the few individuals visibly relaxed a bit.

Lin Zhen felt a bit annoyed. He was just attacked as soon as he stepped onto the land. However, he could not blame the other party's approach.

"It's okay, that sword couldn't harm me."

His simple reply not only indicated his lack of hostility but also defended his dignity.

The middle-aged Human Clan man's eyes slightly squinted, but his heart was quite shocked.

Lin Zhen in his view was valiant and rugged. He appeared to be only at Longevity Level 7 but shockingly managed to block his sword Qi even in an unstable footing, this level of strength left him astonished.

If not for the disguise, Lin Zhen should also have the strength of the early stage of Divine Transformation.

Being able to reach Divine Transformation, even in the Endless Star Sea, he was not an ordinary person. The middle-aged man cupped his hands once more: "May I know where this brother comes from? What is your name?"

"Lin Xun, from the Da Qin Empire."

"Oh, my brother here is from Bei Qin. Speaking of which, he is a fellow townsman with Brother Lin, it's just that he has been in the Endless Battlefield for more than four thousand years now."

The middle-aged man turned to one of the Three Flowers Warriors, "Brother Li, it's been more than four thousand years since you returned home, right? Meet your fellow townsman."

The Martial Artist named Li walked over and greeted Lin Zhen warmly, "It has indeed been a long time since I've been home. But for drifting warriors like us, 'home' is more of a luxury concept. Thousands and thousands of years have passed, I've forgotten what my family originally looked like."

Seeing the world-weariness on the faces of the people before him, Lin Zhen felt a dissipation of the discomfort in his heart.

These people were true warriors, struggling to survive and chasing the peak of the martial way. Lin Zhen, attempting to reach the peak himself while carrying his family along, was considered something of a misfit among warriors.

"Come on over, Brother Lin, since you've arrived at the Endless Battlefield, we are all fellow travelers. We're just about to have a simple meal. Brother Lin, if you don't mind, you're welcome to join us."

Life on this land hadn't utterly disappeared. In the middle part, there were still a few trees, and under one of them was a stone table where several people gathered drinking.

Lin Zhen didn't stand on ceremony and laughed. "Thank you for the invite, I'll contribute to the feast, too."

Lin Zhen cared greatly about what he ate. His internal world was filled with delicious food. He promptly pulled out several dishes and a jar of wine and sat down with the other warriors.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Zhang Xuan. I used to be a citizen of the Da Liao Empire, um… that was hundreds of thousands of years ago."

The middle-aged man introduced himself, followed by introductions from the others.

"Brother Lin, is this your first time in the Endless Battlefield?"

"Indeed, it's my first time." Lin Zhen replied, intending to put down the little fox in his arms and let it play by itself. However, the little fox seemed to be frightened of strangers, trembling in Lin Zhen's arms and refusing to come out, so Lin Zhen let it be.

"Well, Brother Lin, those who come to the Endless Battlefield are heroes of our Original World. People on the ground want to live peacefully, it can't be done without our fight. Your spirit is admirable. Let's have a toast!"

Zhang Xuan raised his glass and clinked it with Lin's.

Lin Zhen drained his drink, "Brother Zhang, you're right. But in reality, it's not exactly like that. I didn't come here for my country or my people. I don't have such lofty sentiments. I came here to find someone, to gain experience, and with luck, some treasures. It would be best if I could strike it rich!"

Zhang Xuan and the others were taken aback, immediately bursting into laughter.

"Ha! Well said, Brother Lin. In fact, that's how most of us are. Some people talk about serving the country and the people, but when good opportunities presented themselves, they were more eager to take them than anyone else. Brother, your honesty is refreshing. Let's drink another round."

The group again raised their glasses, clinking them together before downing their drinks.

With consecutive rounds of strong liquor, the atmosphere became even more lively.

"Brothers, I, Lin Xun, am new to all this. I don't know much about the Endless Star Sea situation. Please enlighten me."

"Sure, Brother Li, tell your fellow townsman, Brother Lin about this."

The Martial Artist named Li spoke, "Brother Lin, in the Endless Star Sea, you need a new identity. You have to go to the Dimensional Universe center in the city to activate it. This allows your Dimensional Universe to have the authority to browse the Endless Star Sea. This will facilitate you in checking the situation, receiving tasks, and communicating."

Lin Zhen nodded. His Dimensional Universe had become useless in the Endless Star Sea, which made him feel uncomfortable. Opening up new communication channels was necessary.

"Are there cities here?"

"Yes, there are. The Endless Battlefield filled this shattered land. On some of the larger fragments, ground inhabitants lived. Despite not being as grand as the capitals of large nations in the Original World, these areas were still quite comparable to small fiefdoms, having everything one might need."

"What is the currency used here? Is it the money from the ground?"

"No, the currency on the ground in the Original World is not accepted here. The currency here is exclusive to the Endless Star Sea. It's like this."

Saying this, the Martial Artist named Li took out some money for Lin Zhen to observe.

Lin Zhen took the money to inspect it, noticing both coins and paper money. Most of the paper money had an image of a fierce-looking man on it.

"This is the image of the strongest leader from the Imperial Clan of the Endless Star Sea, known as Emperor Heavenly. He's their spiritual leader."

Lin Zhen nodded while he continued to look at the money.

In addition to Emperor Heavenly's portrait, there were also images of Emperor Cangtian, Emperor Qingtian, and others.

The leaders of the Imperial Clan of the Endless Star Sea all had the character 'Heaven' in their names.

However, on a one-dollar note, Lin Zhen saw an image of a woman.

If he had to describe the woman's appearance in one word, it would be seductive—extremely seductive!

Although the image depicted a static smile, the endless charm in her eyes seemed to confront him directly, making any man's heart flutter.

"Who is this woman?"

"Ah, she is an Imperial Princess from Qingqiu Mountain, Emperor Heavenly's wife, and his most beloved woman."

"Ah, so she's an Empress Consort. With her fox-like charms, it's no wonder she captivated Emperor Heavenly."

Lin Zhen laughed. He didn't pay it any mind until the little fox in his arms nudged him. Lin Zhen felt a bit of a wet and soft sensation on his chest, followed by a tickle. The little fox was nibbling on his chest with its little milky teeth!

The soft little teeth biting on him gave Lin a somewhat strange feeling, as if an infant was trying to breastfeed, which left a strange expression on Lin's face.

Chapter 833: Chapter 836 Tianfang City_1

The largest denomination of currency in the Endless Star Sea is one thousand, and the smallest is one unit. Lin Zhen examined it for quite a while but couldn't decipher the craftsmanship and techniques involved in creating this currency. Essentially, it was impossible to duplicate.

"So does the currency from the Original World become obsolete here?"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "Not exactly obsolete, but severely devalued. Here, ten thousand units could only be exchanged for one unit, and that's at its highest worth. Sometimes it takes tens of thousands to exchange for one unit."

Lin Zhen sighed – his wealth of ten trillion can now only be exchanged for ten billion and possibly even less.

Although the purchasing power of the Endless Star Sea's currency seemed decent, Lin Zhen had no plans to exchange all his money; the loss would be far too great.

In the Endless Star Sea, money still had to be earned.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment: "Young brother Lin, our status here is determined by your points."

"Points? What are those?"

"Points are the scores you obtain from killing creatures in the Endless Star Sea. They range from One Star to Seven Stars. If your score is high enough, you could even enter our Hall of Fame. On the Endless Battlefield, both our side and theirs have Halls of Fame, representing the most potent fighting strength of both sides."

"I see, so are you a member of the Hall of Fame, brother Zhang?"

Zhang Xuan chuckled ruefully: "Don't belittle me, brother. I've been here for hundreds of thousands of years, and I'm just a Three Star Warrior. Who knows when I might become a Four Star? And nothing's certain, I might even die at the hands of the Endless Species."

Lin Zhen noticed several people's badges at this point. Zhang Xuan had three stars on his chest, while several other martial artists from the Three Flowers Realm had basically one star, and one of them didn't even have any stars.

The warrior without a star explained, noticing Lin Zhen looking his way: "Becoming a One Star is not easy. You need over a hundred points. Killing a Longevity Realm enemy gives you just one point, and killing a member of the Three Flowers gives you ten. My score is only eighty-five, even now."

"The higher the star ranking, the more points are needed. A hundred million points are required to become a Seven Star and a billion points to enter the Hall of Fame. Zhang Xuan being a Three Star Warrior is already remarkable; achieving this takes more than ten thousand points."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen found it plausible and also learned some of the basics about the Endless Battlefield.

Besides gods, anyone can battle here in the Endless Battlefield Zone. The strongest even includes demi-gods.

Your level determines your status here. The higher the level, the more recognition you get from others.

For example, if you're a One Star Warrior and see something you want to buy, a nearby Two-star Warrior could buy it first without concern for who got there first.

If you're a Five Star Warrior, other warriors below Five Stars would have to yield to you on the road.

The higher your star ranking, the better the spots you can grab at meals, and the more priority you have in everything.

Moreover, warriors with a star ranking can also be awarded warrior equipment from the local government.

The Endless Battlefield doesn't have an empire, but there's an official organization called the Hall of Fame Council. All people from the Original World's ground clan are under this Council's jurisdiction.

In addition to the Council having the highest power, there are also some civilian organizations, meaning clans.

The best choice to quickly get a foothold in the Endless Battlefield is to join a clan. This way, everything is easier, sharing resources.

The three main clans here are the White Tiger Hall, San Xia Association, and Speed Dragon Cavalry.

In this area of the Endless Battlefield Zone, there are two notably dangerous spots: the Storm Eye and the Ghost Ship.

The Storm Eye is a location suffering from cosmic storms with a diameter of hundreds of light-years. Sometimes treasures would appear there. Many warriors like going there, hoping to find a few spirit treasures and strike it rich.

The Ghost Ship is a massive spaceship. This ship is very famous throughout the entire Endless Battlefield Zone. Inside the ship, each room is a new world.

Each small room's door is a space channel leading to extradimensional space. Almost every room has some treasure. As long as you're capable, you can take it.

There are numerous enemies in this area. The Demon Clan and the Ghost Clan appear in groups. Ground Clan warriors want to hunt them down, and they too desire to hunt down Ground Clans.

Besides, on the Endless Species side, there's also a Hall of Fame organization, not too different from ours in the structure.

The nearest city to here is called Tianfang City, the settlement area for the Ground Clan within a few hundred million light-years.

After finding out the direction to Tianfang City from Zhang Xuan and the others, Lin Zhen took his leave.

"Young brother, here's my Dimensional Universe ID. After you arrive at Tianfang City and establish your identity, if you encounter any problem, you can add me. Although I can't help with big issues, I should be able to lend a hand with smaller ones."

Lin Zhen, smiling, agreed and parted with the group.

A moveable later, Lin Zhen had appeared on another plot of land ten thousand kilometers away.

Reaching into his pocket, he grabbed his little fox pet.

"Little guy, why did you bite me?" Lin Zhen asked.

The little fox was pretending to sleep with its eyes closed, looking as if it knew nothing at all.

Lin Zhen pointed out a finger, tickling the little fox. The little fox immediately couldn't pretend anymore, emitting a tender cry.

Lin Zhen could see it was laughing, genuinely laughing, looking very cute.

The laughter of small animals is quite infectious. Even though Lin Zhen didn't think this little fox could be of much help to him personally, he still couldn't bear to abandon it.

"Forget it, I'll hold on to it for now."

Lin Zhen once again tucked the little fox into his arms.

The little fox poked out its fluffy little head to observe the outside world, a hint of indifference in its eyes.

Tianfang City was initially established by a Hall of Fame Martial Artist from the Endless Battlefield.

This Hall of Fame Martial Artist, known as Old Man Canjing, was said to have been the first overseer of the Holy Land known as the Twin Trees Garden.

Old Man Canjing ranks third in the Hall of Fame, making him one of the oldest members.

The name Tianfang City, as you might guess, means 'Beyond Heaven'.

From the perspective of the Original World Ground, Tianfang City is indeed far-fetched. To put it into perspective, suppose a World King who could live for ten thousand years flew at the speed of light from the Original World towards Tianfang without taking any teleportation array, he would never even get halfway to Tianfang City in his lifetime!

This place is a floating continent.

With a diameter of over 20,000 kilometers, it can be aptly described as a continent.

The entire continent is a city, initially crafted by Old Man Canjing using a land solidification technique, which made the continent as strong as metal.

Such a land wouldn't shatter even if the strongest Martial Artist were to battle upon it.

Approximately one billion people live in Tianfang City. While it's not comparable to the larger cities on the ground in terms of population, the combat power of Tianfang City's inhabitants would suffice to obliterate any nation on the ground.

Having been on the streets for half an hour, Lin Zhen hadn't seen anyone below the Longevity Realm yet.

"Tianfang City Administrative Office!"

Standing in front of a grandly-styled building, Lin Zhen found his destination.

Striding in, he saw quite a few Martial Artists conducting business here.

Lin Zhen approached the first registration window: "Hello, I want to register my identity in the Dimensional Universe of the Endless Star Sea."

"Please show your Original World Ground number and name first."

After some thought, Lin Zhen decided to give his real name.

The female Martial Artist took Lin Zhen's number, input it, and paused after seeing the results: "Your name is Lin Zhen?"

"Yes." The reason Lin Zhen gave his real name was to be transparent. His decision to use a pseudonym in the Endless Battlefield was only to ensure a smooth arrival. But now that he needed to find his son, continuing to use a pseudonym was no longer an option.

"You're a Saint-Level Alchemist?" What surprised the female Martial Artist was not Lin Zhen's name, but the fact that he was a Saint-Level Alchemist.

"Yes, that's correct."

"Oh! That's rare. I've been in charge of registration here for three thousand years, and you're the first Saint-Level Alchemist to show up."

Upon hearing her words, Lin Zhen immediately understood that there must be other Saint-Level Alchemists in the Endless Battlefield, but their numbers were undoubtedly very small.

The woman showed no reaction to his name, which relieved Lin Zhen slightly.

News from the Endless Star Sea and the Ground does not intermingle. While his name, Lin Zhen, might be quite famous on the Ground, in the Endless Star Sea he was just an unknown foot soldier, barely stronger than the average newcomer.

In retrospect, Lin Zhen was kind of famous there, especially after he released over a thousand emperors, an act that got him noticed by some big shots.

He'd also heard the leader of the Ghost Clan say something about an empress on Qingqiu Mountain, who claimed that Lin Zhen was an enemy of the Endless Species.

The registration in Tianfang City was free and was completed quickly.

"All set, your identification number is 397911230012."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Chris' voice echoed in Lin Zhen's mind.

"Master, your identity registration is completed. Now, your Dimensional Universe can be used both on the Original World Ground and in the Endless Star Sea. Here's your information."

Lin Zhen looked at his identity information: "Life: Lin Zhen. Place of Origin: Tianfang City. Note: Longevity Level 7, Saint-Level Alchemist, Star Level Warrior Rank: Unranked, Identification Number: 397911230012."

"I want to exchange some money. Where can I do that?"

"You can exchange at the window next door, the current exchange ratio is twenty thousand to one."

The currency of the Original World Ground, when brought here, is not much different than waste paper.

Two hundred billion cash was exchanged for one million Endless Coins.

Upon his arrival, Lin Zhen had no intention of jumping right into the battlefield. This money was his seed capital.

His main objective in coming here was to find his son, but that didn't necessarily mean he had to search for him in person. Aimless searching was the most foolish method. Lin Zhen wanted to make a real name for himself here. As long as he became famous, he believed that as long as his son was alive, he would definitely see news of his father and come forward on his own initiative.

Chapter 834: Chapter 837 Xiaogua_1

After Lin Zhen had exchanged his money, the first thing he thought of was to find a place to open an Elixir Store. With his skills as a Saint-Level Alchemist, he would surely become famous in Tianfang City in no time.

Just then, he suddenly heard a woman's scolding voice from the side.

"You little beast! How dare you bite me!"

Lin Zhen turned around and saw the little fox, its white fur standing on end, making low warning calls at the woman at the window.

The woman's finger, somehow, had been bitten by the little fox and was bloody.

Lin Zhen was stunned. The little fox had always been very well-behaved since he took it in. It had never hurt anyone, and in Lin Zhen's eyes, it didn't even have the capability to do so.

How could this woman, who was a Longevity-Stage Warrior, have been bitten by the little fox?

When did the little fox become so deadly?

Either way, the little fox had bitten someone, and Lin Zhen couldn't ignore it. He hurried over to grab the little fox.

The little fox, in Lin Zhen's arms, continued to hiss fiercely at the woman, as if facing a mortal enemy.

The woman initially wanted to kill the little fox, but her strikes missed several times. Now, with Lin Zhen taking the little fox away, her face turned even uglier. She said to Lin Zhen, "Your pet injured me, and I am a One Star Warrior. As the owner, you are responsible for such offensive behavior. Now, compensate me."

Lin Zhen didn't shirk responsibility: "Okay, how should I compensate you?"

"One million! Not a penny less. It's against the law for commoners like you in Tianfang City to offend Star-Level Warriors. Those are the rules!"

Lin Zhen took a deep breath. This woman was trying to swindle him, but he couldn't refuse at this point. He was new here and not familiar with everything, so it wasn't a good time to get into trouble.

He could simply exchange another million for starting capital, as he wasn't short of money.

After transferring the one million to the woman's account, she seemed to be busy communicating with someone in the Dimensional Universe, and the little fox didn't stop hissing at her.

After receiving the money, the woman ignored Lin Zhen completely.

Lin Zhen planned to exchange another million to open his store, but the person who exchanged the currency informed him that he was now a criminal and could no longer exchange money.

"I regret to inform you, Mr. Lin Zhen, that you are currently implicated in allowing your pet to assault someone, and you are temporarily barred from exchanging money."

"When can I exchange again?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Only when you achieve a Star level, will these restrictions be lifted," the staff replied mechanically.

With a sense of helplessness, Lin Zhen walked out with the little fox.

"You really know how to cause trouble. I never knew you had such ability that you could actually hurt a Longevity Warrior without being harmed by their attacks. Why did you bite someone?"

The little fox was huddling in Lin Zhen's arms, whimpering as if it had been wronged.

"Sigh, now that I don't have a single penny, the plan to open the store will have to be put on hold."

Walking the streets of Tianfang City, Lin Zhen was momentarily uncertain of where to go.

You can't get by anywhere without money, something Lin Zhen hadn't felt for a long time.

Just as he was thinking of finding a place where he could sell some medicinal materials, a group of people suddenly appeared.

There was a White Tiger emblem on their chests, and at a glance, Lin Zhen knew they were from the White Tiger Hall, one of the three major powers in Tianfang City.

The leader, a bald man, had a white tiger tattoo running from the top of his head to his neck, covering half of his face. It made him look extremely fierce.

This man was a God World Transformation level super master!

The bald man stood in front of Lin Zhen, an intense aura emitted from him. He asked in a nonchalant tone, "Are you Lin Zhen?"

"Yes, what can I do for you?" Lin Zhen instantly thought of the woman who had just been bitten by the little fox. Without a doubt, these men from the White Tiger Hall were summoned by her.

One million in compensation wasn't enough, and now she wanted revenge?

The bald man continued, "I heard you are a Saint-Level Alchemist. Our White Tiger Hall currently lacks a Saint-Level Alchemist. Come to White Tiger Hall. We can pay you one million every month. You just need to help us refine Saint-Level Elixirs."

Lin Zhen shook his head, "I don't intend to join White Tiger Hall."

"Just as I thought, a greenhorn who's new to Tianfang City, totally unaware of the rules. Perhaps if you live here for some time, you'll understand that when the White Tiger Hall insists, you don't have the right to refuse."

Facing such a formidable opponent, Lin Zhen remained vigilant but kept an impassive expression on his face, "If White Tiger Hall lacks elixirs, then when my elixirs are ready, White Tiger Hall can have priority in purchasing."

"Hehe. It seems you still don't understand what I, Bald Warrior, am saying. Here's a contract – take a look, and if you agree, we can continue the conversation."

Having said that, the bald warrior tossed a paper to Lin Zhen, on which were written some rules.

Lin Zhen picked up the paper and began to read it.

The requirements were simple. Lin Zhen was to become a lifelong alchemist for White Tiger Hall, which would in turn provide for all his needs. He would be a formal member of the White Tiger Hall. He must create one Saint-Level Elixir daily, and the hall would give him one million per month. The term of the contract was… one hundred years!

Lin Zhen immediately tore the paper into shreds and threw it away. He could never agree to such a contract.

The bald man scoffed, looking at Lin Zhen, "Very well, looks like you need to get familiarised with the rules of Tianfang City."

He turned his gaze behind him, "Captain Ma, what are our rules in Tianfang City for such people?"

A Martial Artist emerged from behind him who was at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, even in uniform, seemingly the captain of the city defense forces of Tianfang City.

"Lin Zhen's background is unknown, and he's involved in pet-related violence, constituting a threat to stability. While inside Tianfang city, he will be prohibited from opening stores, working, buying or selling, and leaving the city is also forbidden until further investigation is complete," he stated.

The bald man then looked at Lin Zhen: "Did you hear? You don't have a penny now, right? As a civilian under suspicion, you can't run a store. Even with your mastery of Alchemy, you won't make money. Whatever treasures you have can't be sold. No one will conduct business with you, your Dimensional Universe has been registered. All these prohibitions will remain until you can increase your star ranking."

The bald man paused and then continued: "But to increase your star ranking, you must leave the city and fight the Endless Species. You don't have permission to leave the city, so… you can only beg for food here in the city, hahaha! A Saint-Level Alchemist begging, I wonder how long you can hold out!"

Hearing the bald man's words, Lin Zhen's rage began to burn; these bastards knew no bounds.

The bald man continued, "To change this situation is simple. Do you see that contract you tore up on the ground? Whenever you're ready, just pick up the pieces, put them back together, sign it and bring it to me. Then perhaps all the bans against you will be lifted."

After finishing speaking, the bald man turned and walked away: "Remember, I'm at White Tiger Hall. Ask for Brother Sanhu there."

After the bald man and his group left, Lin Zhen got a message from Chris in his Dimensional Universe.

"Master, my privileges are restricted. You are now considered an unstable element in Tianfang City, and there are many things you can't do, you are forbidden to leave," she stated.

"How can they keep me from leaving? Can't I teleport out?" he asked.

"That won't work, Tianfang City has a city defense system. Teleportation is not allowed unless you're a god," she informed.

Lin Zhen sighed: "I won't believe that they can really hamper me. Dream on if they think I'll join White Tiger Hall and refine elixirs for them, not even in the next life."

However, Lin Zhen soon realized just how malicious their scheme was.

In the Dimensional Universe, Lin could do nothing but view messages.

He couldn't exchange money, he was unable to open shops, he couldn't sell anything. Whenever he tried to trade with people, his Dimensional Universe system would block the transaction.

Later, Lin thought of working at another Elixir Store. Despite mentioning his Saint-Level Alchemist status, as soon as they added his Dimensional Universe, they quickly backed off.

Even when he wanted to find a place to stay, his Dimensional Universe couldn't register.

"Damn! Am I really being hindered by such a vulgar trick?"

After spending three days in Tianfang City, Lin Zhen finally abandoned some unrealistic fantasies. He couldn't even collect a single coin now.

"Do I need to do something illegal?"

Lin Zhen quickly dismissed this thought. It was not like the Original World here, there were too many strong individuals, and acting recklessly would definitely lead to trouble.

"Hey, little guy, what should we do now?"

A little fox was squatting at Lin Zhen's feet. Lin gently stroked the fox's head. After a few days of companionship, he increasingly felt that Xiaogua was no ordinary fox, it was rather intelligent.

Looking back, when Xiaogua bit that woman, it was exactly when the woman was communicating with people from the White Tiger Hall and leaking his information. Otherwise, the White Tiger Hall couldn't have arrived so quickly.

But how did Xiaogua sense it? Lin found it miraculous.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Xiaogua raised its head and yelped a few times.

"Let's give you a name."

While considering this, Lin wrote a few words on the ground to try and give Xiaogua a name.

"Xiaoxue?" Xiaogua walked over and erased the name with one paw.

"Xiaobai?" Xiaogua cried a few times and erased it with a paw again.

"Snowy Flying Fox?" Lin tentatively wrote this name, but it was immediately erased with a paw.

Lin was unsure about what to call the fox after several rejected names. He then casually wrote "Xiaogua" on the ground.

"Should I just call you Xiaogua?"

Xiaogua moved its paws in a circling motion, seemingly not wanting Lin Zhen to name it at all.

Lin Zhen looked down, ready to give up, but suddenly noticed that the last two strokes Xiaogua made rubbed out the character for "fox," leaving only "Xiaogua."

Two characters remained on the ground, "Xiaogua."

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up: "Great! This is your own choice, this name is intimate, haha! Xiaogua, silly Xiaogua, stupid Xiaogua! That's it."

He picked up Xiaogua in a fit of excitement.

On the other hand, Xiaogua, who had just been named, looked stunned. After some time, it covered its face with its paws, displaying a look of utter despair.

The sight of Xiaogua's depressed demeanor made Lin Zhen feel much better after the recent oppressions.

He looked up and saw a tall building in the distance.

A sign there depicted the clashing of a sword and dagger indicating it to be a duel arena!

Chapter 836: Chapter 839: Dream of the Fox Spirit (Third Update)_1

Such a situation instantly put Lin Zhen on alert. As a martial artist, unless in a battle where his strength was excessively exhausted, he shouldn't experience fatigue like ordinary people.

With unstoppable physical capabilities and no fatigue, how could he possibly feel tired?

There must be something wrong here!

As Lin Zhen extended his hand, a rejuvenating elixir appeared, which he instantly swallowed.

Both his strength and spiritual power were boosted by the elixir, relieving his fatigue for the time being.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Zhen was certain that something about this arena was off.

What benefits could they glean from making him fall asleep?

Lin Zhen immediately thought of White Tiger Hall. They were the only ones capable of opposing him. Flashes of past scenes quickly crossed his mind, he vaguely remembered spotting the White Tiger emblem at a certain corner.

"By making me sleep, I wouldn't be able to practice. Are these people trying to make me lose in the arena or never achieve one hundred victories? In the end, I'd be forced to seek their help."

Lin Zhen quickly deduced the truth of the matter. However, although he had guesses, he had no immediate solution.

Moreover, after the rejuvenating elixir effect subsided, the feeling of fatigue besieged him once again.

"I'll sleep first, and see if things are as I suspect. I can't keep relying on this elixir."

Lin Zhen laid Xiaogua beside him, gave it a piece of meat, then fell heavily onto the bed.

In a corner, a hidden camera appeared from a sudden hole in the wall, capturing the scene of Lin Zhen's deep slumber, then disappeared.

"Target analysis underway… Breath frequency… Slow. Heartbeat rhythm… Slow. Skin temperature analysis… Subcutaneous blood circulation analysis… Cell activity analysis… Brainwave analysis…"

A series of measurements yielded accurate data, confirming that Lin Zhen had fallen into deep sleep.

"Brother Sanhu, it's working! Lin Zhen tried to resist with an elixir, but its effects wore off and he eventually fell asleep."

"Hehe, very normal. A saint-level alchemist wouldn't give up without a fight. But struggling is futile. If we didn't have these tricks up our sleeves, how would we survive in Tianfang City?"

San Hu stretched languidly, "Alright, I'm going to rest. After a day, schedule Lin Zhen's first duel. He's at the Longevity Stage, pit him against someone at the Three Flowers Stage. Remember to tell his opponent not to kill him."

"Understood, Brother Sanhu."

The man observing the analytical tool agreed, then opened his mouth, finding the situation odd.

According to Lin Zhen's brainwave activity, it was ascertained that he was dreaming.

This phenomenon was very rare. People drugged into slumber typically enter a deep sleep with no occurrence of dreaming. This Lin Zhen was truly strange.

However, he didn't report this to San Hu, considering sleep and dreams as very normal processes. If he mentioned it to San Hu, he might earn himself a scolding for being oversensitive.

Before Lin Zhen's eyes was a picturesque hill.

Verdant and lush, with a pleasant view, Lin Zhen walked on a small path between the hills. He was surrounded by clouds and mists, creating an ethereal setting.

Proceeding slowly along the mountain path, he saw a pile of stones in the distance.

Suddenly, a tinkling laughter echoed from behind the pile of stones.

"Hehe! Xiaohong, come catch me!"

"You better not run! See what happens when I catch you!"

The sound of several girls and their footsteps reached his ears. Then the scenery before his eyes changed. A group of enchanting, seductive women appeared.

"Where are you from, intruding into Qingqiu Mountain like this?" A girl in green extended her finger to inquire Lin Zhen.

"Qingqiu Mountain? Is this Qingqiu Mountain?" Lin Zhen felt bewildered, as if he had heard that name somewhere.

"Hmph! You simpleton. I'll report you to the lady!"

The scene changed again, slowly a silhouette of a woman in white emerged from the mist.

This woman was tall, with hair like thick clouds and a skin as pure as ice. Her large, sparkling eyes were particularly striking on her petite face.

Dressed in white, each and every action she took exuded elegance and grace. This radiant woman approached Lin Zhen and suddenly said, "Where did this dork come from?"

Lin Zhen was surprised. A dork?

The woman in white suddenly laughed, her smile enchanting like a blooming flower. Her beautiful eyes curled, resembling a crescent moon in the sky.

"Hey, why are you standing here looking dazed? Come and play."

Lin Zhen felt like he recognized this woman. She seemed to resemble the person on the coin but appeared much younger and even more beautiful.

At that moment, Lin Zhen was having trouble distinguishing between dream and reality.

Seeing that Lin Zhen wasn't moving, the beautiful woman in white frowned, "You, came to Qingqiu Mountain yet didn't pay due respects. For that, I'll let you experience the divine pressure of Qingqiu Mountain!"

All of a sudden, the sky stirred up, and a giant Nine-tailed Sky Fox materialized.

The Sky Fox's eyes enlarged and swiftly approached Lin Zhen as if it was ready to devour him!

This wasn't an illusion. Lin Zhen truly felt a threat to his life.

The only thing he could do at this moment was to circulate the Star Power in his place to resist, so as to avoid being devoured by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Star power bubbled all over his body, staunchly resisting the divine pressure from the opponent!

The two forces fiercely clashed in the air, Lin Zhen's Star Power of 130 million was quickly consumed at that moment.

"So strong…this…this must be divine power, God is attacking me!"

The Star Power of Lin Zhen was like the water leaking from a water tank, consumed to nothingness in less than a minute's time.

But Lin Zhen would never give up so easily. After consuming his main body's Star Power, his clone immediately relayed, resisting with the 180 million Star Power from the clone.

Meanwhile, his main body swiftly cultivated while seizing the opportunity, replenishing any slight bit of Star Power he could, delaying for a little longer which might mean surviving.

The Star Power of the clone held up for just about a minute, once again consumed to nothingness, the little Star Power Lin Zhen's main body had just recovered was once again put to the test!

It was not even ten seconds, yet the main body was once again exhausted, the clone was rotated back in!

Five seconds later, back to the main body!

Two seconds later, back to the clone!

The main body only had time for a single breath before it had to decisively face this terrifying divine pressure again.

"Woof~!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth wide and pounced, unstoppable!

Just when he thought he was going to be eaten by the Nine-Tailed Fox, he suddenly sat upright in his bed.

"Huff Huff Huff~~!!"

Lin Zhen wiped his forehead, only to realize that he was completely damp from sweat.

"It was a dream…I was actually dreaming?"

Lin Zhen stood up from the bed, but he felt a sense of weakness in his Dantian, through his Spiritual Power, he was horrified to find that his original full Dantian was completely empty!

This only happens when the Dantian has been frequently emptied, and the Star Power consumption is extremely huge.

Looking at this situation, Lin Zhen stood up in surprise.

He looked around the room, the darkness had no effect on his vision, but everything was exactly as it was in the room, no changes at all. Even Lin Zhen did not sense any danger.

"What's going on? I dreamt I was on Qingqiu Mountain, where is Qingqiu Mountain? It seems to be an important place in the Endless Star Sea, the home of the fox spirit on the coin."

"I dreamt of the Nine-Tailed Fox on Qingqiu Mountain and fought against it, causing great consumption of my Star Power. But when I woke up, my Star Power was really gone."

Lin Zhen closed his eyes and checked his Dantian, and suddenly he made another discovery.

It was the residual effects from the elixirs that he had consumed, they were completely gone after the complete consumption of his Star Power!

This discovery made Lin Zhen overjoyed!

You must know that Lin Zhen's cultivation is different from others, he does not need years of meditation, as long as the side effects of the medicinal power are completely gone, he can proceed to the next round of devouring to progress.

He has not been at Longevity Level 7 for too long, just over two months, and under normal circumstances, it would take at least two to three years to reach Level Eight.

But just last night, the medicinal effects were all gone, he could level up again!

Not thinking about anything else for the time being, Lin Zhen directly took out an elixir and swallowed it down.

Under the effect of Black Hole Power, the medicinal effects of these elixirs were quickly dissolved, the barrier that restricted his progress was broken, and Lin Zhen's realm stepped up!

From Longevity Level 7 to Level 8, Star Power increased from 130 million to 135 million!

Although it was just a minor improvement, it held significant importance for Lin Zhen, as long as he could repeat this once again, he could reach Longevity Level 9 and prepare to make a breakthrough towards the Three Flowers Realm.

Don't look at the abundance of experts in Tianfang City, but once Lin Zhen stabilizes in the Three Flowers Realm, there will be very few people who can threaten him!

After meditating in place for a bit, and thoroughly settling at Longevity Level 8, Lin Zhen opened his eyes.

The entire night had passed, it was already the next morning.

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on Xiaogua at the edge of the bed.

The little fox had lain down at some point, looking at him with a pair of large obsidian-like eyes.

Unknowingly, Lin Zhen thought of the fox spirit from last night.

It could be said that last night's dream brought Lin Zhen a lot of benefits, now he had a better impression of the little fox.

He picked up the little fox: "Xiaogua, come give a kiss!"

The little fox waved its small paws in resistance, but it was too weak, unable to resist Lin Zhen's force, it was vigorously kissed a few times and tormented for a while.

Just then, the guards outside the door walked over: "Lin Zhen, get ready, your first fight is about to begin."

Lin Zhen stood up, tucking the little fox into his arms.

Looking at the little fox's white fur, he thought of the fox spirit from last night with her snowy skin once again.

The fox spirit's pointed chin, and the large eyes that were like a crescent moon when she smiled, indeed bore some resemblance to the little fox.

Chapter 837: Chapter 840 Fast Cultivation! (Fourth Update)_1

Whenever the Gladiator Arena held a match, the spectator seats were always filled to the brink.

Lin Zhen, accompanied by the staff, left the room and headed to the boxing ring.

A floor-to-ceiling giant crystal wall separated the ring and the spectator seats completely, allowing outsiders to clearly see the inside while also ensuring they were not harmed by the residual effects of the battles.

A fight on the ring had just ended, with two Three Flowers Warriors killing each other, one dying and the other victorious.

The host was introducing the next fighters making their entrance, which were Lin Zhen and his opponent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the first player to compete today. He has achieved four consecutive victories in our arena, killing four opponents outright. He is strong, cold, indifferent, and merciless. Despite his short appearances, he has a large group of loyal fans supporting him. He is a Three Flowers Realm boxer, the Hell Demon Bull …. Jipson!"

Blinding lights flashed as Jipson made his entrance.

This player was from the Demon Bull Clan and possessed a tall, sturdy body that resembled a small hill.

The sharp horns atop his head sparkled with a faint light that sent shivers down anyone's spine.

Being at the Three Flowers Peak, combined with exceptional talent, ensured his absolute dominance at the ring.

In fact, everyone who managed to step onto the ring was far from weak, all of them being exceptional among warriors of the same level, often engaging in battles above their levels.

According to the ring's rules, in a player's first thirty matches, the opponent must always be of the same level.

If they achieve thirty victories, only then can they challenge higher level opponents.

However, during the contract period of a hundred fights, only one opponent could be at the highest level.

Even though Lin Zhen was at the Longevity Stage, there were few Longevity Realm Martial Artists participating in the boxing ring, so Lin Zhen was automatically slotted into the Three Flowers Stage.

In the ring, using weapons was against the rules. When Jipson stepped onto the ring, he strode around exhibiting his strong muscles and occasionally roaring at the crowd below.

Many spectators waved their cash, shouting Jipson's name.

For this match, most people were in support of Jipson.

Even those who were not in Jipson's support didn't favor Lin Zhen because, in their opinion, he was too weak.

"The second to step onto the stage is our boxing newcomer, a lad with super potential from the Original World, Lin Zhen! Please, everyone, welcome him!"

Sporadic applause echoed as Lin Zhen made his appearance.

"Remember, you can concede if you cannot compete. As soon as you surrender, the referee will step in to stop your opponent from killing you. We're confident you can do it."

A staff member carefully instructed Lin Zhen from behind. He had received San Hu's order not to kill Lin Zhen.

With a cold smirk across his face, Lin Zhen leaped onto the stage.

The referee brought the two fighters together and loudly announced: "Aside from not allowing weapons, there are no other rules. You guys can fight as much as you like. If one party admits defeat, they must immediately surrender. If you surrender too late, you'll bear the consequences. Understand?"

Neither of them responded, so the referee retreated to the corner.

"Kid! If you crawl through my crotch, I'll spare you in this round because I've received some people's reminder to leave you a way out. You should know better, though."

Lin Zhen ignored Jipson, turning his head to the referee: "Can we start now?"

"Start!"

"Boom~!"

A wave of Mental Shock burst forth, showing the full potential of his diamond-hard Spiritual Power. With one strike, Jipson's head was blown off!

Jipson didn't even get a chance to grunt before he died on the spot!

The spectators hadn't even finished cheering for their idol before the fight ended!

Everyone's cheers were stuck in their throats. They couldn't swallow them down, and they couldn't shout them out, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, Lin Zhen turned to the referee: "The next match should start as soon as possible. I don't have time to waste here."

The referee was startled for a moment, and then he ran over and declared Lin Zhen the winner.

Lin Zhen turned around and left the ring, returning to his room.

Winning the first battle, he easily scored a point and also received prize money of ten thousand.

For the first thirty battles, each battle offered a reward of ten thousand.

Lin Zhen ignored the clamoring outside, and as soon as he returned to his room, the sleepy scent again overwhelmed him, and he quickly drifted into a dream.

The result of Lin Zhen's first battle came as a great shock to the people of the White Tiger Hall.

They had initially thought that the first battle might shatter Lin Zhen's pride, making him willingly serve the White Tiger Hall. They didn't expect Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power to be so strong, killing his opponent in one hit, leaving their plans in vain.

San Hu wore a troubled expression: "I've underestimated the kid. His Spiritual Power is indeed troublesome. For the next round, remember to give the opponent a Mental Defense artifact. We can't let him pass so easily."

The scenery before his eyes changed, and Lin Zhen found himself on Qingqiu Mountain once again.

It was the same dream as the last time. After the lady appeared, Lin Zhen began to speak.

"Who are you?"

Although she looked young, the enchanting woman in front of him said, "You don't need to know who I am, what's in front of you now is what you deserve. When the timing is right, all will be revealed."

The woman waved her hand, and the giant Nine-Tailed Fox appeared once again.

A new round of challenge began!

Last time he dreamt, Lin Zhen lasted less than three minutes; this time, his Star Power had grown considerably, and he wished to endure for longer.

However, despite his main body and split consciousness struggling repeatedly, they were still utterly defeated within three minutes.

When Lin Zhen woke from his dream, he found that his sweat had once again soaked his clothes.

However, there was something that had him overjoyed – the medicine in his body had once again been dissolved significantly.

He only needed to dream once more, and he would be able to advance to Level 9 Longevity!

Checking the time and finding that it was still early, Lin Zhen simply decided to refine elixirs.

When he took out the elixirs, Xiaogua suddenly ran from his side to a white bottle, nudging it a few times with its little snout.

The bottle was antique and faded, having not been used for a long time.

Lin Zhen didn't even remember that he had this kind of medicine. Looking at it, he found that it was actually an elixir for War Generals to consume!

"This may be some medicine from when I was on Earth, they must have been accidentally brought along. Does Xiaogua need this?"

He opened the lid and handed it to Xiaogua, who promptly gulped down the elixirs as though they were a bottle of jelly beans.

After it finished the medicine, Xiaogua laid beside Lin Zhen, seemingly asleep.

Lin Zhen ignored Xiaogua's actions and instead started producing Yang Hua Pills for the Flower of Vitality.

No matter what the dream was about, he needed to quickly prepare the elixirs for the Three Flowers Realm. Otherwise, it would be tragic to advance to Three Flowers but not have the necessary elixirs for cultivation.

There were still an abundant amount of medicinal materials in his internal world, Lin Zhen first refined Yang Hua Pills for the Flower of Vitality.

He tossed various medicinal materials in. Lin Zhen succeeded twice out of three attempts, his efficiency was extremely commendable.

By the time he finished refining, a day had passed. Lin Zhen obtained two bottles of Yang Hua Pills.

"I wonder how far my Flower of Vitality will develop after I enter the Three Flowers Realm. I should prepare more in advance."

After he finished refining, Xiaogua woke up.

Upon seeing Xiaogua, Lin Zhen froze. It had grown significantly larger!

If it was the size of a puppy before, now it was larger than a puppy.

Lin Zhen found another War General level medicine for Xiaogua, but it showed no interest.

"Does this little guy need a War God level elixir? I believe I have one."

Before Lin Zhen could find the elixir, a competition official came to notify him to participate in the second boxing match.

"The competition schedule is quite dense. That's perfect– the faster, the better."

Lin Zhen cradled Xiaogua in his arms and headed back to the boxing ring.

After the first fight, not many were paying attention to Lin Zhen. They only considered his strong Spiritual Power. Knowing this, every boxer would be prepared. A spiritual defense treasure should suffice.

Hence, for the second match, most were still supporting Lin Zhen's opponent, a seven-time champion.

After Lin Zhen arrived at the arena without uttering a word, he suddenly waved his hand as soon as the referee announced the start of the match!

Sword Gang!

A sword beam, five meters in length, flashed by. His opponent was completely unprepared and was directly split in two by Lin Zhen's sword!

After he killed his opponent with a single strike, Lin Zhen turned around and left the stage.

Leaving behind a dumbfounded referee and an audience with confused expressions, Lin Zhen obtained his second point.

"Impossible! How can this kid be so strong? For the next match, find me a top-level expert! I refuse to believe that Lin Zhen, who is at the Longevity Realm, can sweep the Three Flowers Stage."

Within the White Tiger Hall, San Hu angrily smashed his cup. News of Lin Zhen was taken very seriously within the hall, even the boss had to intervene, instructing San Hu to ensure that Lin Zhen would be recruited. How could this continue?

After Lin Zhen returned, he wanted to return to the dream again, but he failed. This was because Xiaogua kept trudging around him, obviously wanting an elixir.

At this moment, Lin Zhen seemed to understand something. Without another word, he gave Xiaogua a War God-level elixir.

After ingesting the elixir, Lin Zhen and Xiaogua fell asleep at the same time.

The same dream, the same experience. When Lin Zhen woke up again, the medicinal efficacy in his body had been completely dissolved.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swallowed the prepared elixir and advanced to Level 9 Longevity!

His Star Power grew to 140 million!

The Star Power of his split consciousness reached 200 million!

And when Xiaogua woke up, it had become a small fox the size of a half-grown dog.

Lin Zhen softly touched Xiaogua's head: "It seems you're not simple. I don't know what you've been through, but rest assured, I'll ensure you get the elixirs you need until… until you no longer need them. This is our destiny of knowing each other."

Xiaogua lay beside Lin Zhen, its eyes slightly closed, its long tail swaying slightly. Lin Zhen had the vague impression that it had three tails.

Chapter 838: Chapter 841 Tearing Space_1

Lin Zhen's third battle began.

His opponent was again a person at the Three Flowers Peak, with an impressive streak of twenty-nine victories.

Having a twenty-nine win streak in the fighting arena of Tianfang City indicated an outstanding supremacy in the Three Flowers Realm, essentially leaving him without any contenders.

This person excelled in both close and long-range combat. Choosing him as Lin Zhen's opponent, Brother San Hu placed high hopes on this match.

Despite being astounded by Lin Zhen's performance in his previous two battles, the audience once again chose not to support Lin Zhen in this round.

Simply because his opponent was too formidable.

The betting odds in this match made it evident, with over 97% of the entire audience supporting a man named Wu Yan.

About two percent of the crowd chose to abstain, rather than placing their bets.

Out of tens of thousands present, there was only one person who chose to support Lin Zhen.

Jin Fatzi chose to support Lin Zhen for a straightforward reason: he was virtually on the verge of bankruptcy. Jin Fatzi was initially a Fifth-grade Alchemist who owned an alchemy house in Tianfang City.

A Fifth-grade Alchemist was not highly competitive in Tianfang City, where most were Sixth-grade Alchemists, and the famous ones had reached the Seventh grade.

In order to research a new type of elixir, Jin Fatzi borrowed a lot of money. Just when it seemed the elixir was almost a success, his woman ran away with the money and a friend, opening a medicinal materials shop nearby.

Jin Fatzi, being only in the Longevity Realm, lacked the ability to fight back. Add to it his creditors' constant badgering, he was at his wit's end.

The Speed Dragon Cavalry had already knocked on his door. If he didn't pay back the money in three days, his life would be forfeit!

Seeing that the odds of Lin Zhen winning were significantly high, Jin Fatzi, having no other recourse, bet all his possessions on Lin Zhen's victory.

If Lin Zhen won this match, he could turn around his dire situation completely, even the woman who ran away would probably come back crying and pleading.

If Lin Zhen lost, Jin Fatzi guessed that he wouldn't be able to survive.

Amidst the cheering for Wu Yan, Jin Fatzi, drenched in sweat, shrunk back in his seat, fearing that if someone saw he bet on Lin Zhen's victory, it would incite a mob attack.

Lin Zhen took to the stage.

Surrounding audience seats filled with boos. Lin Zhen paid no heed, awaiting his opponent's arrival on stage.

The twenty-nine-time victor, Wu Yan, made his entrance.

Lin Zhen didn't bother to check what his opponent looked like; it was unnecessary.

When the referee announced the start of the match, Wu Yan twisted his figure, instantly disappearing into space.

Lin Zhen was taken aback for a moment. He unleashed a Sword Gang, but it didn't seem to affect anything.

Whoosh~!

A punch came towards him from behind!

This move was incredibly covert. Lin Zhen spun around using his Shadowless Step, narrowly evading his opponent's potentially lethal punch, followed by another quick Sword Gang attack.

Seemingly silent, once Wu Yan missed his attack, he disappeared again.

At this moment, Lin Zhen realized he might be in a bit of trouble. His opponent was using the Space Escape Skill, allowing him to shuttle back and forth between reality and extradimensional space.

His opponent's other abilities were insignificant and offered no advantage, but relying on this one move, his opponent remained almost invincible.

Seeing Lin Zhen's successive attacks prove unfruitful, the audience erupted into loud cheers.

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes. Although his opponent's Space Escape Skill was miraculous, Lin Zhen had plenty of ways to deal with him.

The best method would be to activate his own domain just as his opponent reappeared, causing an attack with the crushing force of a planet to kill his opponent instantly!

Alternatively, Lin Zhen could take a hit and counter-attack, easily winning. After all, with his Immortal Spiritual Body, his opponent couldn't possibly kill him.

Just as Lin Zhen prepared to make his move, an pleasing female voice suddenly resonated in his mind.

"Winning by force is a lower tactic in the art of war. To counter the Space Escape Skill, the best method is to tear space apart. If you can't seek the optimal strategy and insist on using brute force, you'll never progress."

Lin Zhen was taken aback for a moment. Because he recognized this voice, it was that of the woman dressed in white from Qingqiu Mountain in his dream.

Listening to this mocking voice, Lin Zhen paused.

The Luo Heavenly Escape he had comprehended was missing the step of tearing up space.

To rip apart space, both the speed of movement and the speed at which he attacked must reach the effect of light speed.

Although his current attack speed was fast enough, his movement speed still lacked slightly.

"Light speed… I need to attain light speed movement. Now is the perfect opportunity. The woman in white was right!"

Whoosh~!!!

A vicious punch came from behind his head. This time, Lin Zhen didn't dodge; he ferociously turned around and countered.

While his opponent's movement was elusive, his speed was clearly inferior to Lin Zhen's. Relying on the advantage of the first move, he still couldn't gain an upper hand. As Lin Zhen's attack was about to land, he disappeared again.

Like a hawk, Lin Zhen's gaze swept over the surroundings, searching for his opponent.

"Hehe! I must say, your strength is significant. It doesn't resemble someone in the Longevity Realm, it's more comparable to the God Transformation Period, but all this is useless, Lin Zhen. Unless you can stay focused indefinitely, the moment you slack, I will cut off your throat!"

Wu Yan's voice echoed from everywhere, seeming to emanate from extradimensional space, making it impossible for anyone to locate him.

Before his voice even faded, a hand wielding a blade carried the force of a gale, aiming to strike Lin Zhen's throat!

Lin Zhen leaned backward, dodging the strike while also counter-attacking, but his opponent had disappeared again.

In the following time, Lin Zhen and Wu Yan engaged in a game of hide and seek.

Wu Yan took advantage of every possible opportunity to launch surprise attacks, but Lin Zhen's counterattacks always fell just short of hitting his opponent. After all, launching a counterattack required time, especially when on the defensive.

"A near shave is inevitable for those always walking by the river." said Lin Zhen, having taken two blows in the process.

Wu Yan's hand chopped the air, his strength golden and palpable. He landed two blows on Lin Zhen, leaving two wounds.

Seeing this, the spectators in the audience were whipped into a frenzy.

"It seems that Lin Zhen is nothing special after all. When someone can restrain him, he can't fully utilize his skills."

After several attempts at counterattacking with little success, Lin Zhen gave up and stood in the center of the arena, quietly allowing a lotus blossom to manifest around him.

All of Wu Yan's sneak attacks were blocked by the lotus, and he was wary of Lin Zhen's counterattacks, so he dare not easily unleash his killing moves. The situation between the two was somewhat stalemated.

Looking through the petals of the lotus, Lin Zhen saw Wu Yan's figure occasionally flashing by.

A ray of moving light entered his pupil.

One of Lin Zhen's hands was encircled with a ball of light, the other was twined by lightning.

"Light and electricity are the two fastest substances in the universe."

"With the power of technology, we can reach the speed of light. Martial arts must also be able to do it, although it is difficult."

"I have mastered the power of both light and electricity, but always fell just short of the speed of light. It seemed that there was something wrong with my way of cultivating."

At this moment, Lin Zhen was deep in thought, his understanding of the principles underlying these phenomena reaching a peak.

"I fell into a misconception, always trying to accelerate gradually. However, in combat situations, circumstances on the battlefield can change in an instant. If you always aim to accelerate gradually, you're likely to die a thousand times."

"To achieve the speed of light, even if you stand still, you should be able to instantly reach the speed of light. This is truly reaching it. What's the point of gradually achieving it through acceleration?"

"I understood. It was actually due to my lack of decision-making and lack of self-confidence."

"In fact… I have already reached light speed!"

After several test probes by Wu Yan, Lin Zhen still did nothing, which emboldened Wu Yan. He found a gap in the lotus petals and threw a punch!

A flash of sharp light swept through Lin Zhen's eyes. He retaliated with a mental shock!

"Bam~!"

Wu Yan staggered back, immediately escaping into space.

"Lin Zhen! You can't win!"

Lin Zhen withdrew his lotus defense, followed it up with a lightning strike, and extended both hands like an eagle's claws. His hands surged with energy from light and electricity.

The first thing people saw was Lin Zhen making a move. When they looked at Lin Zhen again, he had already appeared in a corner of the arena.

"Thinking you're safe hiding here? Die!"

Light and electricity converged on his hands, roaring out!

Crackle~~~!!!

A chain of electricity darted chaotically, sparking against the crystal wall.

Lin Zhen's hands had already probed into space, ripping open a crack in space!

From the angle behind Lin Zhen, it could be seen that his hands were thrust into Wu Yan's chest.

"How is this… how is this possible? You actually… ripped apart space!"

"Speaking of it, it's all because of you. Your cowardice in retreat has led me to a new understanding. However, I will not thank you. After all, we are enemies!"

Splat~~!!

Lin Zhen separated his hands, tearing Wu Yan's body apart. He swiftly withdrew his hands, and the crack in space closed.

Wu Yan's body never had the chance to emerge and permanently remained in this spatial rift.

Killing Wu Yan in one blow, Lin Zhen felt a surge of emotion.

I did it!

As long as he had the speed of light, he could tear apart space, enter the spatial rift at any time, and move within the space storm.

Just like how he could enter a parallel universe at any time in the New World, neither this arena nor Tianfang city could confine Lin Zhen. He was free to come and go as he pleased.

But Lin Zhen did not want to leave. Why should he? There was no place better for cultivation than here.

Lin Zhen had come to Tianfang City to establish his name. Since the White Tiger Hall dared to trouble him, this would be an opportunity.

A hundred consecutive victories here would be very difficult to achieve. Generally, those who could achieve a hundred victories had all been defeated before. It was just that not everyone would die in the arena.

Lin Zhen stepped forward, reaching light speed!

He instantly disappeared from the spot, entering the spatial rift. The distance here was a million times that of the outside world – a single meter move inside is a million meters outside!

With a slight shift, Lin Zhen returned to his room.

The referee and the staff were panicking, seeing Lin Zhen disappear right before their eyes.

This was a Saint-Level Alchemist. If he just ran away, that would spell trouble.

The entire White Tiger Hall was in uproar as everyone searched for Lin Zhen. The situation was reported to Brother Sanhu.

Upon hearing this, Sanhu was stunned. He immediately sent out search parties to find Lin Zhen.

While sitting at the table, he was waiting for the result anxiously.

At this moment, the technician monitoring the screen said to him, "Brother Sanhu! That Lin Zhen…he…he went back to his room to sleep!"

Chapter 839: Chapter 842: So It's You_1

Seeing Lin Zhen abruptly fall asleep on the bed, a chill ran down San Hu's spine.

"How… How did he manage to do that? How did he manage to get back to his room?"

His subordinates were also completely clueless: "This is too mysterious, he suddenly disappeared from the boxing stage, and then reappeared in his room. We've checked all the surveillance footage, but didn't see Lin Zhen passing by. We also questioned the guards, and none of them felt any fluctuations in the air."

"What about scent? Temperature changes? Did you investigate all of that? Spiritual Power fluctuations? Did he teleport back?"

"We've checked everything, there are no abnormalities. Moreover, Lin Zhen's room blocks Spiritual Power, teleportation is impossible."

"This is really mind-boggling!"

San Hu angrily smashed his newly replaced water glass: "In that case, there's no way we can control him anymore. If he wants to leave, he can just leave, right?"

One of his subordinates hesitated: "Brother San Hu, I don't think it's necessarily so. I guess Lin Zhen probably used some short-distance teleportation method to move back to his room, if he had such ability, I don't think he would stay here."

San Hu contemplated a while: "Possibly. If that's the case, it's not much to fear. But remember, don't give Lin Zhen the chance to leave here. He has signed a contract with us, and if he leaves arbitrarily before winning a hundred matches, he has to pay us a sky-high compensation. I don't think he would take such a risk to disregard the agreement."

There's a condition for compensation in their contract. Lin Zhen can flee, but it would then be impossible for him to enter the city of the Human Clan in the Endless Battlefield. He would be wanted.

Therefore, San Hu believes, Lin Zhen is unlikely to leave.

As long as Lin Zhen stays, San Hu is confident that he can make Lin Zhen surrender. However, he believes that won't happen until after at least thirty matches. For now, it seems impossible for Lin Zhen to be defeated within thirty matches.

Back in his room, Lin Zhen looked at Xiaogua, who stared blankly back.

Xiaogua had grown quite a bit, now resembling a half-grown fox.

Lin Zhen didn't attempt to ask Xiaogua anything. He had found that this little fox was no ordinary fox, in fact, it wasn't even an ordinary Galaxy Beast.

A lot of the time, when he was teasing Xiaogua, even though they would have fun, he could vaguely feel Xiaogua's faint hostility towards him.

Although the feeling was very faint, Lin Zhen's keen senses still picked it up.

He wasn't sure how his relationship with Xiaogua would develop in the future, but at this stage, they certainly needed each other.

The miraculous dreams certainly didn't come out of nowhere, and the only explanation was Xiaogua.

And Lin Zhen wasn't letting Xiaogua work hard for nothing either. He had always used Elixirs to provide for Xiaogua. He wanted to see what Xiaogua's final stage of growth would be.

Today, Lin Zhen gave Xiaogua a Star Realm Elixir.

After swallowing the Elixir, Xiaogua and Lin Zhen once again entered into the dreamland.

The dream was the same as last time, Lin Zhen fought against the Fox God from Qingqiu Mountain for about three minutes before succumbing to exhaustion and failing.

By the time he woke up, he found that most of the power of the Level 9 Longevity Elixir had dissipated.

But for Lin Zhen to ascend from the Longevity Realm to the Three Flowers Stage was not so simple.

Moving from Level 9 Longevity to Three Flowers is a very important stage, on the ground of the Original World, Three Flowers Warriors are pretty much at the peak. It's rare to see a God Transformation Period.

For Lin Zhen, entering the Three Flowers Stage means truly becoming an Advanced Martial Artist. If his current state reaches the Three Flowers Stage, then even normal Divine Transformation wouldn't be of importance to him.

He even stands a chance to fight against the experts at the God World Transformation!

However, transitioning from Level 9 to Three Flowers is easy, but a perfect transition is hard. Lin Zhen needs a long period of accumulation, to let his Star Power overflow.

The minimum Star Power for a Divine Transformation Warrior is 100 million.

For a God World Transformation Warrior, the minimum Star Power is 200 million.

Lin Zhen's current 140 million Star Power can only be considered average among Divine Transformation. That's why he hasn't been able to pass the 12th Heavenly Lord level in the 33-Day Tower.

Now that he has the advantage of the dreamland, Lin Zhen wants to make another breakthrough in his Realm all at once.

Half of the Elixir's power was consumed that night. If he uses one more Elixir at night, the power could be completely dissipated. Then Lin Zhen can swallow another Elixir, and accumulate Star Power again.

Accumulate for one day, and then let it dissolve for two or three days. Repeat this several times, and he may have a chance to advance to the Three Flowers Stage.

The next day Lin Zhen went to participate in the arena match, believing that he would face a relatively strong opponent, but he didn't expect that the competitor this time was only an ordinary Three Flowers Stage fighter.

Before Lin Zhen could react to what the people from White Tiger Hall were planning, this Three Flowers Stage fighter surprisingly admitted defeat without a fight.

Without even throwing a punch, Lin Zhen was declared the victor of this match with his accumulated points reaching four.

Moreover, Lin Zhen made a discovery – there were no spectators at all. That is, no bets were placed on this arena match. It was predetermined that Lin Zhen would win.

Lin Zhen had a sudden realization. It seems that the opponents won't send Three Flowers Stage fighters to challenge him anymore.

His guess was correct. After resting for a night, the opponent for his next match was still the same fighter. With no spectators again, the fighter admitted defeat without any resistance.

Since his opponent shamelessly conceded, Lin Zhen was happy to effortlessly gain points, spending another night comfortably.

After that, his days began to follow this cyclic pattern.

One day, two days… three days, five days… eight days, ten days….

By the half-month mark, even the referees stopped speaking. They simply allowed Lin Zhen to step up onto the arena for a moment before immediately stepping off, not wasting a single moment.

As Lin Zhen's points soared rapidly, his strength also improved swiftly.

The potency of the medicine was being successfully resolved, and the accumulation of Lin Zhen's Star Power increased more and more.

By the twentieth day, Lin Zhen finally felt that his Star Power was about to overflow.

"Xiaogua, you've made rapid progress these days, successively experiencing the Star Core Period, Trend Period, Comet Period, Satellite Period, Planet Period, and Constant Star Stage. Now I'll give you the elixir for the Black Hole Period. Once you get through the Black Hole Period, you'll enter a completely new realm."

Having grown into a beautiful fox that was almost one and a half meters long with a snow-white tail swinging in acknowledgement, it could be considered a response to Lin Zhen's words.

"Take it. Let's hope we both can achieve a new breakthrough."

After giving Xiaogua the Black Hole Period elixir, Lin Zhen started preparing to take his medicine. But after taking out the elixir, Lin Zhen suddenly paused.

He put the Juyuan Powder back and took out the Inner World Warmth Elixir.

Since he's about to enter the Three Flowers stage, the final evil star in Lin Zhen's body, Luo Gou's Star, was also almost ready to light up.

During this period of concentrating on breaking through the realm, he nearly forgot that he still had one last evil star unlit.

With no residual medicinal properties in his body, Lin Zhen consumed a large amount of the Inner World Warmth Elixir.

Soon, both Lin Zhen and Xiaogua entered the dreamland once more.

Lin Zhen's approach was correct; with the constant refinement of his Star Power, the residual medicinal properties from the past were all stimulated. After the confrontation with the Fox God again, all these elixirs were completely absorbed by Lin Zhen.

After this challenge, Luo Gou's Evil Star had begun to glow faintly, and it wasn't far from being lit.

On the twentieth day, Lin Zhen once again fully metabolized the medicinal properties and took more of the Inner World Warmth Elixir.

On the twenty-first day, Xiaogua consumed World King level elixir and successfully advanced to the World King realm.

On the twenty-second day, Lin Zhen finally reached the cusp of illuminating Luo Gou's Star, which would surely light up after one more elixir.

On the twenty-third day, Xiaogua's medicinal properties had almost disappeared, and he was almost ready to advance to Longevity.

On the twenty-fourth day, Lin Zhen took his final elixir and waited for the medicinal properties to metabolize.

On the twenty-fifty day, Xiaogua advanced to the Longevity Realm!

On the twenty-sixth day, Lin Zhen had again fully metabolized the medicinal properties!

On the twenty-seventh day, Xiaogua had also entirely metabolized his medicinal properties.

On the twenty-eighth day, Xiaogua took another elixir, aiming for the Three Flowers Realm, while Lin Zhen made his final preparations for a breakthrough.

On the twenty-ninth day, Xiaogua advanced to the Three Flowers Realm, and Lin Zhen finally reached true Star Power overflow!

The true Star Power overflow refers to simultaneously reaching the peak of Star Power in both the Dantian Qi Sea and the inner world – it is akin to having one foot already stepping into the Three Flowers threshold!

On the thirtieth day, Lin Zhen arrived at the stage, once again going through the motions with his prior opponent.

After this formality, Lin Zhen's points had reached thirty.

At this point, Lin Zhen had completed the early part of the contract. From the start of the next battle, he would be facing warriors at the Divine Transformation stage.

However, Lin Zhen wasn't too worried. According to the contract, the strongest opponent he had to face would be at the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Period. Even if he wasn't a match for them, he wouldn't be completely defeated; in fact, he might even have a chance of winning.

When he returned to his room, it was already night.

Lin Zhen sat on the bed, with Xiaogua lying next to him, watching Lin Zhen with wide eyes.

"Xiaogua, this is a crucial moment for us. You might enter God Transformation, and I might step into the Three Flowers. Let's both do our best to succeed."

Xiaogua jumped off the bed, wagged his huge tail, and suddenly said, "I am not Xiaogua, and I'd appreciate it if you no longer call me by that name. Nicknames like "simpleton," "fool" do not suit me."

The voice was no longer the soft and mellow childish tone of a fox, but a tender and enchanting woman's voice.

Lin Zhen was stunned. Xiaogua suddenly stood upright, his body twisted for a moment, and after a dazzling light flashed, he had turned into an insanely beautiful super beauty!

"It's you after all!" Looking at the enchantingly seductive woman in white standing in front of him, she looked exactly the same as the woman from his dreams.

Chapter 840: Chapter 843: White Melon_1

Lin Zhen had seen many stunning women before. Pure and saintly like Su Mingyue, heroic and impressive like Little Phoenix, dignified and elegant like Ning Qingxuan, all were rare beauties hard to find in the world.

However, Lin Zhen had to admit that when it came to seducing men, no one could outmatch Xiaogua.

She was adorned in a plain white dress, but it hugged her curvaceous figure, accentuating all her curves. Underneath the dress, the sight of her slim waist and long straight legs were partially hidden, making people wish they could tear apart that damn dress.

Add to that her incredibly enticing face, which strangely also held an underage allure, she was enough to take people's lives.

Why are some women called vixens? Because they are too beautiful and too tempting. And Xiaogua in front of him, was without a doubt, the top quality among vixens.

"Xiaogua…"

"I've told you already, don't call me Xiaogua. Our relationship is nothing more than a coincidence. You saved me once, and that's it."

Xiaogua's expression turned serious, her lips spouted cold words, and from her petite body, there emanated a born noble aura, showing her superior status.

Lin Zhen's expression also listened and became serious. "Hmm…..okay Xiaogua."

"Lin Zhen, listen well. I am the Princess of Qingqiu Mountain, Bai Susu, from the core of the Endless Star Sea. You can call me by my name now, but when the day comes when my Endless Species army rules the earth, even if you had once saved my life, you can only worship me and refer to me as the Princess."

This was the first time Lin Zhen found out Xiaogua's true identity.

Even if Lin Zhen had some guesses before, they were just guesses and didn't count.

Now knowing Xiaogua's real identity, everything made sense.

That's why the Endless Species were scouring in groups, the so-called missing big shot was Xiaogua.

But Xiaogua's aggressive and superior attitude really annoyed Lin Zhen.

"Bai Susu, I don't care whether you're a Princess or how powerful you are in the Endless Star Sea. Right now, you're just a little vixen roaming the grounds of Original World, struggling to survive. If it wasn't for me saving you from those pet traders, you would have been skinned alive and made into a soup by now. Not only do you show no gratitude, but you dare to act superior in front of me! Are all foxes so ungrateful?! No wonder you were banished to the Endless Star Sea and can't return to Earth!"

Xiaogua's pretty face turned beet red. She stared at Lin Zhen, "You…you're talking nonsense! If I wasn't grateful to you, why would I have helped you so many times in your dreams? And don't forget, you're still an enemy of our Endless Species. Letting go of the 1,400 emperors was your doing!"

Lin Zhen sneered, "That's right, I did that. I also heard that the Princess of Qingqiu Mountain has issued a wanted order against me. I presume that was you. It turns out destiny plays tricks. If I am caught for the bounty you put on me, the first person to die will probably be you."

Xiaogua seemed to have a hard time accepting Lin Zhen's attitude. Her eyes reddened slightly. "Lin Zhen, don't just believe in hearsay…I…"

"What hearsay? The person who said it was people from your Endless Species. You were listening too."

"Fine… let's not argue about this."

Xiaogua turned around, her chest heaving, clearly upset by the argument. As a Princess, she was typically treated with reverence. No one had ever dared to contradict her so brazenly.

Lin Zhen stood aside, watching this Princess of the Endless Star Sea.

The so-called Princess would be the highest-ranked woman of Qingqiu Mountain, possessing the best beauty, talent, and qualities.

This woman might be the future queen of the Imperial Clan.

If what Xiaogua said was true, if the Endless Species returned to earth one day, everyone in the Original World might have to worship this little girl in front of him.

The elites of the Original World gathered on the Endless Battlefield. If the Ground Clan lost on the Endless Battlefield, the army of the Endless Species could advance unhindered.

However, accomplishing such a feat was not easy, and Lin Zhen didn't believe they could do it.

At least for ten thousand years, there was no hope.

After calming down a bit, Xiaogua turned back around, "Lin Zhen, let's not talk about these things. At least for now, we depend on each other for survival. You saved me, but I also helped you. Without me, you probably wouldn't have been able to make the progress that you're about to breakthrough in ten years. In this respect, I think we can cooperate."

Lin Zhen smiled faintly, "You helped me, that's true, but I also helped you. I gave you so many elixirs to help you recover so quickly. Without me, I don't think anyone in the world could have helped you recover this quickly. So, I don't owe you anything in this matter, but you owe me one life."

Xiaogua's big eyes widened in disbelief, "How can you be so ungallant? You're even nitpicking with me, a small woman?"

"I never nitpick with my friends, but for enemies, it's a different story."

"Then…then you've kissed me so many times!" Xiaogua was flustered.

"What's so good about kissing a fox? It's like a man hugging his pet dog. Is that taking advantage of the dog?"

Xiaogua's prideful demeanor crumbled once again. She clenched her small, delicate fists and punched Lin Zhen.

Even though it wasn't a life or death fight, Xiaogua was currently at the Three Flowers Peak. Her punch still couldn't be underestimated. Lin Zhen wouldn't just stand there and take it.

Just like when he used to tease her before, he reached under Little Phoenix's arms and tickled her until she collapsed in laughter.

The sound of her bell-like laughter filled the air as she rolled into a soft lump of mud, her big eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Ah… I can't… Lin Zhen, stop… haha! Please spare me."

His palms could feel her softness in the midst of this playful exchange. Lin Zhen took a prominent look at the messy-haired, breathlessly smiling little fox in front of him. His eyes grew dim.

He gently withdrew his hand: "Little Phoenix, are you ready to have an earnest talk now?"

Little Phoenix lay on the bed, taking a while to collect herself before forcing herself up. Her graces were on full display, from her secret curves to her innate seduction. Every move she made was breathtakingly charming. Yet, it appeared she was oblivious to her effect.

She smoothed out her hair with her hand, glared at Lin Zhen: "You…never mind. I'll just tell you. My current situation is not safe. Qingqiu Mountain is not as you imagine it to be. I need someone to protect me now, and you are the most suitable candidate. I believe you also need my help to dissolve your medicinal power and advance as soon as possible. In this case, we can cooperate temporarily."

"How do we cooperate?"

"I need to restore my realm, but upgrading after Divine Transformation is very difficult. You need to unconditionally provide me with an Elixir, and ensure my safety."

Lin Zhen pondered: "It's not easy to prepare the Elixir for Divine Transformation. I don't have it right now."

"But you are a Saint-Level Alchemist, and I believe you can do it. As compensation for you, I will continue to assist you until the God Transformation. My methods of dissolving your medicinal power will be effective."

Lin Zhen gazed at Little Phoenix's pretty face: "This condition seems to be very favorable for me, but ensuring your safety might not be an easy task."

"If it was easy, I wouldn't need your help!" Little Phoenix looked dramatically at Lin Zhen.

"So when do we stop cooperating?"

Little Phoenix thought for a moment: "When I have restored back to the God World Transformation, we can reconsider the terms at that time."

Lin Zhen nodded, "Sounds good, but Little Phoenix, you still owe me a life."

"I'll tell you again, my name is not Little Phoenix, my surname is Bai!"

"Okay, Bai Gua!"

Little Phoenix was extremely upset. The arrogant demeanor was deeply ingrained, but Lin Zhen kept joking about 'Gua', a term she never wanted to associate with herself in her life.

"Fine fine fine, today you will see how formidable Bai Gua is!"

A dignified empress like Little Phoenix from Qingqiu Mountain angrily attacked Lin Zhen, grappled with him and even tried biting him.

Lin Zhen, knowing that she was obviously agitated, felt awkward to fight back and hence let Little Phoenix being on top of him, with his Immortal Spiritual Body, every attack from Little Phoenix felt more like tickles than anything else.

Little Phoenix was worried that Lin Zhen would retaliate, she was pressing down onto him tightly, unaware of her chest was pressing onto Lin Zhen's face.

The fragrant, soft, and buttery skin, her orchid-like scent penetrating into his nostrils, Lin Zhen couldn't help but praise inwardly.

This formidable 'Bai Gua', almost enough to smother a person to death!

Just outside of Tianfang City was the Endless Battlefield. The people Lin Zhen had previously encountered disguised as Lin Xun, including Zhang Xuan, returned to where they had originally met Lin Zhen for some rest.

"Brother Zhang, things have been quite unstable recently. The Endless Species' search has not diminished, but rather continues to intensify. Our safety is somewhat compromised."

"Yes, our power is not strong initially. We wanted to avoid the storm's eye, the vital areas like the Ghost Ship, but the surrounding area is not safe either now. Should we retreat to Tianfang City for some time?"

Upon hearing the suggestions, Zhang Xuan was contemplating the feasibility of the plan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! !!

Before he could make a decision, a group of black-clothed martial artists suddenly appeared.

A dog-headed martial artist with a constantly twitching nose stepped forward.

These were at least God Transformation Period martial artists, clearly of the Endless Species. Zhang Xuan and his party were instantly terrified, unmoving. Zhang Xuan regretted why he chose to stay here rather than leave earlier.

A moment of greed could cost them their lives.

The dog-headed martial artist sniffed around for a while, and then his eyes lit up. He turned to a Demon Warrior and said: "Boss, found it! I'm sure the target had appeared here! Right here!"

Chapter 841: Chapter 844: Old Man Canjing, Divine Stone Battlefield!_1

Upon hearing the dog-headed warrior's words, a Demon Clan member with purple skin walked forward.

"Are you certain? Our large team has scattered, searched for so long and found no clues. Can you confirm anything?"

"There's no doubt this time, boss. We, the Spirit Dog Clan, may not dare to claim much, but our tracking abilities are unquestionably world-class. We tracked from the ground of the Original World, all the way here. Although the scent is very, very faint, the scent of the empress still has a slight fragrance, particularly here … she even lingered in these places."

"You can sense all of this?"

"Yes, there's still residual air on these lands, not yet dispersed into the cosmic space. So, it's easier to trace the scent. Someone might have carried the Empress, quickly passing a number of suspended lands, probably using some instant-transfer technique. I'm not certain about other places, but here she definitely stayed relatively long."

"Good, since you can confirm, this is meritorious. Plus, there are a few small fries here. We might as well capture them for questioning."

The Demon Warrior swaggered over to Zhang Xuan: "You guys, have you bumped into anyone here recently?"

The Ground Clan and Endless Species are always at odds. Whenever they meet, battles ensue. However, that usually happens when their powers don't differ too much. If the disparity is too large, it's no longer a battle but a massacre.

Zhang Xuan and others stood still, legs trembling. This Demon Warrior was a God World Transformation, much stronger than him.

Furthermore, they are outnumbered and the rest are mostly in the Divine Transformation realm, which made them dare not act rashly.

"Nobody has been here for quite a while."

Before Zhang Xuan could finish his sentence, the demon suddenly swung his sword with a slash. Caught off guard, Zhang Xuan tried to block, but a couple of demon warriors launched a Mental Shock to disrupt his rhythm. He failed to dodge the blade!

A flash of blood emerged, and Zhang Xuan was killed on the spot.

The Demon Warrior laughed wickedly as he swung his sword, looking at the several other warriors in the Three Flowers Realm: "Since this man intended to deceive me, then one of you will speak. Send someone to interrogate them separately, compare their answers. Whoever dares to lie will be instantly put to death!"

A group of Demon Warriors came over and separated the Human Clan Warriors.

In a short while, the answer was revealed. A month ago, a man named Lin Xun, carrying a white little fox in his arms, had passed through this place.

Moreover, Lin Xun's destination seemed to be Tianfang City.

These people even simulated the so-called appearance of Lin Xun. After they aligned their answers, the Demon Warrior waved his hand, and these warriors were also killed.

"We have leads. Now, our next step is to focus on searching for this man named Lin Xun. Everyone, contact those you know in Tianfang City, we must find this person!"

The Demon Warriors nodded and began to contact people, hoping to be the first to find Lin Xun.

Tianfang City Lord's Mansion.

Despite the city lord's absence, daily operations in the city are still carried out in the city lord's mansion.

All of the daily activities in this city of a billion people are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the people in the city lord's mansion are busy.

Suddenly, a wave of spatial fluctuation was transmitted, and a huge Water Mirror image appeared on the empty seat of the city lord in the mansion.

Inside the image, an old man dressed in a raincoat, like an old fisherman, appeared.

All the people in the room immediately bowed in fear when they saw this old man.

"Greetings, City Lord!"

This old fisherman is the City Lord of Tianfang, Old Man Canjing.

Canjing had been the first to stay in the Twin Trees Garden, and after leaving the Twin Trees Garden, he established Tianfang City in the Endless Battlefield. It was said that Canjing had long since ascended to godhood, but no one knew the truth.

However, Canjing's vast divine powers were nearly invincible.

Every time Canjing appeared, he would announce some important matters. But, Canjing hadn't appeared in Tianfang City for hundreds of years. One couldn't help wondering what was happening this time?

"The Star Domain of the Eye of the Storm will open in three months," Canjing said, sitting on a small river embankment, fishing rod in hand, gently casting the line in and out.

Upon hearing Canjing's announcement, the eyes of those in Tianfang City sparkled with excitement.

A deputy city lord asked, "City lord, could it be that the core depths of the Eye of the Storm will open?"

"Exactly, we've studied the Eye of the Storm and found that the storm is gradually weakening; it should stop completely in about a month. So, what do you think will happen then?"

People's faces lit up with excitement.

The Eye of the Storm has a history.

The area where the Eye of the Storm is located was originally a Star Domain. Fifteen million years ago, a God of the Ground Clan and a God of the Endless Species led their armies to battle there.

That battle lasted for forty-nine years, causing countless deaths and injuries among the elites. Countless Divine Stone Transformation warriors died.

Even the Demigod Strong Ones, there were tens of thousands of them that perished in the battle!

In the end, both Gods died together!

The two gods' powers erupted at the last moment and sparked a powerful Space Storm.

The power of the Space Storm engulfed the entire Star Domain, eventually turning it into a devastated area.

The Space Storm persisted, and the numerous left-behind relics of the strong ones inside became the target of other warriors who wanted to loot from this ancient battlefield.

However, it is usually blocked by the Space Storm, no one can get in.

Forget about walking or flying; teleportation doesn't even work here.

Ripping space apart is typically an effective method, but it is useless here. The space inside the eye of the storm has been ravaged by the Space Storm for countless years, becoming exceptionally fragile. The coordinates within can't be set, thus this is a forbidden area where almost no one can enter.

Later, the Four Great Gods combined efforts and set up a formation, slightly increasing the speed of the storm. Every 4.9 million years is a cycle.

Under the control of this formation, within these 4.9 million years, the speed of the storm increases by one hundred-thousandth each year!

This way, after 4.9 million years, the storm will burn up the power equivalent to forty-nine years and temporarily stop.

But this stop is only temporary, after forty-nine years, the power of the storm will recover.

It's within these forty-nine years that the Martial Artists get the chance to train in the eye of the storm.

At these times, many Martial Artists from the Ground Clan and the Endless Species enter, moving the battlefields from the outer world to the Star Domain in the eye of the storm.

They usually hang around near the eye of the storm, hoping to pick up some leftovers, these forty-nine years are their opportunity to strike it rich.

You might occasionally find an artifact left by a powerful one, but that doesn't mean much. The fight was so fierce that the inner worlds of the warriors were shattered, hardly any cultivation methods survived, and spiritual treasures basically turned into scrap metal.

The most important thing here is the Divine Stones!

There are so many Divine Stones from the fallen Demigod Strong and Demigod Strong; the number of Divine Stones here is incredibly high!

Entering the eye of the storm is also limited.

Entry is forbidden for Demigod Strongs!

Because in the eyes of the gods, Demigod Strongs are a group of people without hope. Although the strength of a Demigod is even more formidable than a Divine Stone Transformation, they can't advance anymore.

If some get a God Crystal by chance, they might have a chance of advancing, but after advancing their strength is also fixed.

And there are not many God Crystals here. During the initial battle, only two gods fell; the God Crystals can be considered negligible.

So, this is the training ground for those who are below Demigods. As long as they can collect enough Divine Stones here, they can exchange them for powerful cultivation methods, spiritual treasures, and so on!

Even God Crystals can be exchanged!

Hence, the eye of the storm has another name: Divine Stone Battlefield!

Usually, in the Original World and the Endless Star Sea, there is currency, the opportunity to use Divine Stones is not many, but here, Divine Stones are extremely useful.

This event happened fifteen million years ago, it has already been opened twice, this is the third time.

The people who entered the previous two times, who finally managed to get out alive can be said to have struck it rich!

They can exchange other things with the four gods who set up the formation through the Divine Stones. All items from the gods are treasures, everyone made a fortune.

The notice from Old Man Canjing came just in time, in fact, usually people calculate the time, but after all, it's too long, they may make a mistake. This time it's confirmed.

"City Lord, please give the order!"

Old Man Canjing said, "The Divine Stone Battlefield in the eye of the storm is where both the Ground Clan and the Endless Species hope to gain benefits while our Tianfang City cannot lag behind."

"I hereby decree as the City Lord, all the Martial Artists of Four Stars rating and above from Tianfang City can register to go to the eye of the storm, nobody can obstruct them!"

"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.

Old Man Canjing continued, "Well… All the gladiators from the arenas, they fight without considering their lives every day, their vigor is very high, it's a pity to waste their lives in the arenas. It's better to select some strong ones and let them set foot on a brighter path."

Old Man Canjing asked the people below, "How many gladiators does Tianfang City have now?"

"City Lord, there are more than five hundred thousand."

"Now, relay my order. All the gladiators of Tianfang City's arena should gather and fight in the virtual battleground. The last ten thousand people who survive can enter the Divine Stone Battlefield in the eye of the storm. The rest should continue boxing, even if they go, they'd be cannon fodder."

"Understood, we will relay the information immediately!"

The people in the City Lord's Mansion acted quickly, right after Old Man Canjing's figure disappeared, they immediately relayed the news to all the arenas.

When San Hu of the White Tiger Hall was racking his brains arranging a strong opponent for Lin Zhen, he was stunned by this news.

"The eye of the storm is about to open!"

"Gather gladiators in the virtual battlefield to fight, the last ten thousand people will advance?"

San Hu was startled for a while and felt a little worried, worried that if Lin Zhen happened to advance, he would lose control.

"No, I can't let Lin Zhen advance in this battle!" San Hu secretly made up his mind.

"If I want to prevent him from advancing, I should find a strong one to snipe him in the battlefield."

San Hu himself is a Four Stars Martial Artist and he is qualified to directly register to go to the eye of the storm.

However, without a strong one to snipe Lin Zhen in the virtual battlefield, he would worry. Going to the eye of the storm is important, but he also couldn't afford to lose Lin Zhen.

"Perhaps, I should register as a gladiator immediately, advance through the virtual battlefield, and at the same time eliminate Lin Zhen, this would kill two birds with one stone!"

Chapter 842: Chapter 845: Fireworks in the Night Sky_1

San Hu was the type to do as he pleased. According to the rules of Tianfang City Lord, as a Four Stars Warrior, he had the right to directly participate in the Storm Eye. However, he gave up this opportunity.

In his opinion, even if he participated in the gladiator fights, he would still stand out and be promoted easily.

More importantly, it gave him the opportunity to target Lin Zhen on the virtual battlefield, resulting in Lin Zhen's elimination, forever unable to escape the control of the ring.

Upon this thought, San Hu decisively gave up the opportunity to register directly and decided to become a gladiator instead.

When he registered to become a gladiator, San Hu found it somewhat ridiculous.

Indeed, Lin Zhen was an exceptional Saint-Level Alchemist, but in terms of power, he was merely at the mid-to-bottom range of the Divine Transformation. San Hu felt that he was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, it was overkill.

"Oh, well! Consider it a game to challenge myself. Lin Zhen, consider it an honor to be regarded so highly by me!"

The news of the Storm Eye's God's Stone Battlefield spread quickly around Tianfang City.

The initially scheduled fist fights were all canceled. All the gladiators began to prepare for battles in the virtual world.

The battles in the virtual world were slated to take place three days later, and out of several hundred thousand gladiators in Tianfang City, only ten thousand could proceed to the Storm Eye.

At the headquarters of the San Xia Association, a Martial Artist, covered in flames, stepped out of a hidden doorway.

Below him, tens of thousands of Martial Artists, who were at least at the Three Flowers Realm, had gathered.

"Greetings, Chairman San!"

The San Xia Association was established by three Demigod Strong Ones. It was the second biggest power in Tianfang City, ranking even above the White Tiger Hall.

The chairman, self-proclaimed as Corpse Burner.

"The opening of the Storm Eye this time is our opportunity in the San Xia Association. As I understand, the Divine Stone can ultimately be exchanged for many rewards, among which one of the most important ones is the Divine Inheritance Crystal!"

People below instantly let out surprised exclamations. The Inheritance Crystals could contain a God's lifetime knowledge in one or several crystal balls. Whoever got these crystal balls would learn the skills of this God when they were alive.

"We can't determine yet how many Inheritance Crystals there are. But I demand that the San Xia Association must get at least one crystal ball this time! That's the top priority! So, cooperate sincerely to achieve this goal. In this way, we will surely suppress both the White Tiger Hall and the Speed Dragon Cavalry in future disputes in Tianfang City. Understood?"

"Understood!"

In a metallic canyon, a Dragon Knight clad in Golden Armor, riding on a Golden Dragon, soared in the sky.

In front of him, tens of thousands of Dragon Knights gathered, their melodious dragon chants under the sunlight formed a majestic scene.

The Speed Dragon Cavalry was the mightiest force in Tianfang City. It was rumored that their leader had almost reached the Realm of God, but nobody knew the truth. They usually saw the Deputy Leader in charge of their operations.

"Our goal is only one, to get the Divine Inheritance Crystals! We need not only to beat the White Tiger Hall and the San Xia Association but also to fight the warriors from the Endless Species and display the might of the Speed Dragon Cavalry!"

White Tiger Hall was also doing its pre-battle mobilization, but none of the guilds tried to mobilize the gladiators. Any attempt would be in vain because gladiators were not members of their guilds and wouldn't listen to them.

Compared with members of the three big guilds and those from the City Lord's Mansion, many more individual Martial Artists signed up.

The situation at the Storm Eye, although not serious enough to attract everyone from the Endless Battlefield, still managed to attract over a billion people from Tianfang City and several nearby cities. Meanwhile, the number of warriors from the Endless Species who signed up was even greater than that of the Ground Clan!

The Storm Eye offers not only rewards but also a chance to elevate a Martial Artist's star rating. It was a battlefield for life and death!

The situation at the Storm Eye has caught the attention of all parties. Anyone who achieves great success here will surely become famous throughout the Endless Battlefield.

Many things can't be kept secret. The battle of the Storm Eye hadn't even started yet, but news about it was spreading everywhere in Tianfang City.

Some warriors who had participated in the first or second Storm Eye started to stand up and share their experiences inside the Storm Eye.

Some talked about their experiences in the Storm Eye, some showed off what they obtained from the Storm Eye, and others boasted about their outstanding fighting achievements…

These actions, aiming to attract attention deliberately or not, stirred up the atmosphere of the Storm Eye to an extreme degree, making it a hot topic for people across the Endless Battlefield.

At the top of the tall tower of White Tiger Hall, one could overlook the scenery within a hundred miles.

Lin Zhen and Bai SuSu were sitting cross-legged at the highest point of the tower, about a kilometer above the ground.

The two were chatting while also adjusting their breathing, preparing for the upcoming crucial breakthrough.

All the preparations are complete to maximize the effect of the breakthrough.

Even though Lin Zhen has mastered the Luo Heavenly Escape, it does not mean that he can go anywhere he wishes. To travel within the space rift, precise space coordinates are needed, particularly for long-distance travel.

Space coordinates are extremely rare and not available for sale in the Original World. Lin Zhen is unsure if they are available in the Endless Battlefield, even if they are, he certainly cannot afford them now.

Thus, Lin Zhen can only teleport over short distances, taking Bai Susu into his internal world, then slightly moving upwards before coming out. He intended to arrive at the top of the building, but unexpectedly ended up travelling several kilometers away, a significant deviation.

So without precise space coordinates, Lin Zhen doesn't plan to venture into long-distance teleportation as he cannot predict where he might end up, which could potentially lead to embarrassing situations, such as inadvertently landing in a newlywed couple's bed.

If he inadvertently pushed the husband out of the bed, what would people think of him?

Between the two of them, they had a small table suspended in thin air, transformed from Lin Zhen's Light Annihilation.

Simple food, fruits, and beverages lay on the table. Bai Susu held a little exquisite wine pot in her hand, occasionally picking up a grape, placing it between her red lips, gently nibbling, then swigging from Lin Zhen's fine wine. The whole scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, held a bottle of strong liquor, eating some meat every so often, or his personal favourite snack – peanuts.

After spending some days together, the pair could converse quite naturally.

"Lin Zhen, do you know? When I was at Qingqiu Mountain, behaving like this wouldn't have been tolerated. Being an exalted emperor's concubine is rather exhausting. Occasionally, late at night, I would secretly have a sip of wine. It had to remain a secret, especially from my elder sister – it would be a catastrophe if she discovered it."

"You have an older sister?"

"Yes, my sister's name is Bai Xue, she is three thousand years older than me. My sister is very beautiful. Actually, she was eligible to be the emperor's concubine too, but later on, the title fell upon me."

"So it seems you outdid your sister."

"I don't see it that way. My sister's personality is more gentle than mine. Throughout my life, she has taken great care of me"

After taking a sip of his drink, Lin Zhen asked, "Then how did you find yourself in this predicament?"

This was something Lin Zhen was curious about as well. How did an emperor's concubine end up being captured by a pet trader?

"This was probably just an accident. I was leading a patrol when we were attacked by a group of masked men. All those protecting me were killed, and I managed to escape despite being severely injured. I ended up in the Heavenly Ridge, unable to use my Dimensional Universe communication function. Later, I was captured by a pet trader. I suppose I was lucky in a twisted way; I could have been devoured by some wild beast in the Heavenly Ridge without anyone knowing." Bai Susu responded, a touch of self-mockery in her tone.

Lin Zhen was perplexed and felt instinctively that there was more to the situation than meets the eye.

An emperor's concubine being attacked during her patrol was definitely not coincidental and probably had some mastermind orchestrating things behind the scenes.

He was wary but had no solid evidence, so he didn't share his suspicions with Bai Susu.

"Everything will be fine after today. I've recovered my Divine Transformation, and the Dimensional Universe within me will also be fully repaired. Then I can contact my sister, and she will definitely send someone to take me back to Endless Star Sea."

With a look of longing, Bai Susu seemed filled with anticipation.

"You heartless little creature, don't you feel nostalgic about the care I've shown you during this time?"

Bai Susu responded with a slight pout: "We are merely partners. After all, I belong to the Endless Star Sea, not your actual pet."

Lin Zhen remained silent. If Xiaogua wanted to leave, he had no reason to stop her.

Although Lin Zhen wished Xiaogua would stay a little longer, since her method of detoxification during her dreams was unique, her identity was not to be ignored. If the Emperor's concubine wasn't found, the Endless Species would not give up.

Bai Susu glanced at Lin Zhen, her eyes revealing subtle emotional fluctuations.

"Lin Zhen, when you let those thousand four Original World Emperors escape, it placed the Endless Species in a passive position. You're an enemy to the Endless Species. By rights, now that I've recovered some of my strength, I should seek revenge against you. But you saved me, so… when I leave, I won't reveal anything about you. Let's consider our time together as nothing more than a dream."

Lin Zhen looked deeply into Xiaogua's eyes. At this moment, he felt her emotions were a bit low.

"Bang!"

High above in the distant sky, a firework exploded. A burst of vibrant hues left a ripple in the sky.

"I can't believe people set off fireworks here. I feel like it's been forever since I last saw fireworks," says Lin Zhen, nostalgia in his voice. While he was on Earth, fireworks would be set off during the New Year celebrations. But it had been so many years since he last saw them.

As Lin Zhen reflected, Bai Susu suddenly exclaimed with joy, "Ah! Those are our signals! Someone is looking for me!"

Subsequently, an overjoyed Bai Susu stood up.

"Lin Zhen, someone has come for me. I can finally return home. Are you happy for me?"

Lin Zhen was stunned, "They found you that quickly?"

"Yes, they have. I need to go see, maybe it's my sister."

Just after Bai Susu finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but Lin Zhen said, "You're not in that much of a rush, are you? Breakthrough first. Xiaogua, since you're leaving, let me give you one last piece of advice: It never hurts to be more cautious."

Chapter 843: Chapter 846: Time of Breakthrough, Unprecedented Madness!_1

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, Bai Susu stopped in her tracks.

Turning her head towards Lin Zhen, Bai Susu said, "I understand what you mean. Are you referring to the test of mindset?"

"Sort of, but what's more important is that the location of the firework is outside Tianfang City. You can't leave Tianfang City now, so it's better to wait patiently. After we make our breakthrough, I'll take you out of the city, then I'll come back. It won't delay your reunion with your family. What do you think?"

Bai Susu gazed in the direction of the fireworks, a momentary hesitation in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself.

"Alright, considering the possibility of you meeting your demise, I'll keep you company a little longer."

"Why do you say I'm going to face my doom?" Lin Zhen asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious? You plan to partake in the ordeal of the Storm Eye, right?"

"Is there a problem with that?"

Bai Susu laughed arrogantly: "Of course there is. The people who go into the Storm Eye are not just from your Ground Clan. There are also our Endless Species. In the competition for the Divine Stone, your Ground Clan is bound to lose. You stand no chance against us."

Lin Zhen chuckled: "What makes you say that?"

"Strength, of course. I've been to the surface of the Original World. Although I haven't fought with anyone from the Ground Clan, from the way you dealt with those pet traders, it's clear that the Ground Clan is weak. They won't stand a chance in the Storm Eye either. If they encounter someone from our side, they're bound to lose."

At this point, a touch of melancholy flickered in Bai Susu's eyes: "Lin Zhen, you should try not to go into the Storm Eye. Or you might die."

Lin Zhen took a sip of his wine: "Not necessarily. You might need to be more concerned about your species. If they encounter me, I won't show any mercy."

"You… Humph! Hopelessly obstinate!"

Bai Susu no longer wanted to argue with Lin Zhen. Now that she knew about the arrival of her kin, she felt an urgent longing to return home. She decided to focus on making her breakthrough, then go find her kin.

The previously harmonious atmosphere between the two turned a bit awkward.

Lin Zhen cleared the food and drink with a wave of his hand. Using the Light Annihilation to form a shield, he grabbed Bai Susu's hand and pulled her into his inner world, then resumed accelerating into the sky!

In the blink of an eye, they had traveled three hundred thousand kilometers!

After they had moved at the speed of light to this location, Lin Zhen let Bai Susu out again.

"We're now in outer space. If you make your breakthrough here, the people in Tianfang City won't notice you."

Bai Susu nodded, not saying anything else. After all, right now the most important thing for both of them was making their breakthrough.

Lin Zhen also didn't say anything more, this might be his last time being in the company of this Emperor of Qingqiu Mountain, who might possibly become one of the most respected women in the universe. He didn't want to argue and spoil the remaining memory of them together.

Tens of thousands of meters away, Lin Zhen began meditating.

The Star Power in his body had long ago reached its limit; Luo Gou's Dark Star could be ignited at any moment.

In theory, this was the best time for his breakthrough.

But Lin Zhen felt a twinge of dissatisfaction. He felt he could do even better.

Looking around, the vast starry sky seemed to be eternally unchanging.

Suddenly, he felt something. Lin Zhen took out the Heavenly Star Disk from his Space Ring.

This was the item Mitchell had acquired on Tomb Star and given to him. Lin Zhen had used this to find the Black Hole.

Now, on the Heavenly Star Disk, a star was flickering!

Compared to the tiny pinprick light of the other stars, this one was much brighter.

"This is… this is a Star Explosion!"

Lin Zhen's eyes widened in surprise.

He'd seen stars fall, seen Black Holes Devour, even seen planets destroyed, but he'd never actually witnessed a Constant Star exploding right before his eyes!

The force of a Black Hole Devour is immense, but it can't compare to the instantaneous explosive force of a Starburst.

Even the formation of a Black Hole is often caused by the explosion of a supermassive Constant Star; the spatial collapse that happens from the explosion causes a Black Hole.

The final move of Lin Zhen's Star Fall Five Skill, Constant Star Fall, is merely the descent of a planet, absolutely incomparable to the power of a Starburst.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhen instinctively wanted to go over and observe.

His fingers moved inch by inch over the Heavenly Star Disk.

"Fifty… one hundred… five hundred… If I move at the speed of light, it will take about fifteen days. But I can use the Luo Heavenly Escape now, so the distance is actually quite close. I should give it a try."

Lin Zhen glanced at Bai Susu who was already cultivating and decided he should make a move, without any hesitation!

Although the control over the distance of space cracks was not accurate yet, Lin Zhen dared to try moving amidst the vast expanse of the starry sky.

A radiant glow enveloped both hands as they struck out at the speed of light!

Hiss~!

A spatial crack was ripped open by Lin Zhen, and he directly entered it.

The horrifying space storm formed by the elemental energy of earth, water, fire, and wind attacked him, but Lin Zhen virtually ignored all these. Using Star Power for protection while calculating the moving distance inside his mind, he moved!

One to a million, with the distance of fifteen days, Lin Zhen moved at the speed of light for about 1.3 seconds!

Whoosh~~~!!

Elements surged before his eyes. When Lin Zhen came out of the space, he felt a powerful energy attacking from afar!

It was a white dwarf star on the verge of explosion, about to enter its destruction phase.

The distance Lin Zhen traveled through the space slightly exceeded his estimation, so he was still tens of millions of kilometers from the white dwarf star.

This distance was the best vantage point for observation.

The dazzling flash of light was roaring in front of him, as the planet was about to unleash its final powerful force.

Lin Zhen sat there, ignoring the high heat of tens of thousands of degrees around him, resolutely swallowing the prepared elixirs.

He was going to advance to the Three Flowers stage!

The Star Power in his body had already reached its brim, similar to water overflowing in a cup, to a point where a single grain of sand wouldn't fit.

Now Lin Zhen threw in a whole lot of sand, causing the water to spill over. This spilt water was the key to his breakthrough from the Longevity stage to the Three Flowers stage!

At this point, he didn't need to do anything intentionally; the Star Power had already started to react!

As if a barrel of oil was thrown into a flame, the Star Power within Lin Zhen instantly boiled!

"Come, my Three Flowers stage!

"As long as my Star Power exceeds two hundred million, it will be equivalent to a minimal God World Transformation. With my complete power of Star power, it would be sufficient to early stages of a general God World Transformation!"

"Two hundred million Star Power, that's my minimum standard for this breakthrough!"

Once the medicinal power was absorbed by the black hole in his Dantian, Lin Zhen felt a massive change!

Other than Star Power rising like a tide, violently impacting the barrier of the Three Flowers stage.

At this critical breakthrough moment, Lin Zhen's attention was not focused here.

With his eyes shining brightly, his gaze was fixed on that giant constant star heading towards destruction!

"The Senluo Sword Skill I learned, and the spear technique of Landis, whether it's sword or spear skills, they all have their limitations."

"Learning other people's martial techniques and battle strategies forever, without having anything of my own, I wouldn't be able to reach the peak of martial arts. The steles within the Holy Land, the names on those steles, only those who were able to leave their steles in the Holy Land, can be considered true martial arts masters. They have their unique insights and left something to pass down to future generations."

Lin Zhen recalled his conversation with Jin Nuo. Jin Nuo said that if he wanted to stay in the Holy Land after a hundred years, he must clear the twentieth floor of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.

Clearing the twenty floors of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower also implied another meaning, which was to leave a memorial stele in the Holy Land.

But for the current Lin Zhen, even if he were able to advance to God Transformation, he would not be able to leave a stele, because what he knew, were learned from prior people. He didn't have his own understanding.

"Among the battle strategies I learned, the Star Fall Five Skill is a universal skill. However, the Star Fall Five Skill can basically only be exercised by a regular World King, a Longevity Warrior. For the Three Flowers Warrior, the final Constant Star Fall might be helpful, but for the God Transformation, the Star Fall Five Skill is somewhat inadequate."

His gaze pierced through the enormous wave of destruction and went straight towards the core of the constant star.

"A star explosion, in a way, is considered to be one of the most powerful forces in the universe. The energy mass of a constant star is not on the same level as a planet. It can even evolve into a black hole when it explodes. The force that it produces is incomparable destructive power!"

"A star falling… that's nothing. The important thing is, it just exploded!"

Lin Zhen made a mysterious trajectory in the air with his hands. At this critical point of his breakthrough.

He wanted to create a martial arts technique that was unique to him, an unparalleled powerful fighting skill in the world!

"Firstly, I need to master the power of the star explosion, understand the essence of this phenomenon, then it is possible to create a martial art skill."

"Back on Earth, there was a weapon called nuclear weapons, the explosion could cause an astonishing change, but when compared to a star explosion, it was simply like comparing firecrackers with missiles."

The red-hot radiation and flames roared before him, and Lotus opened continuously on Lin Zhen's body to isolate these energies.

But soon, he realized that this kind of isolation would only affect his understanding and observation.

"Well, you can't get the tiger's cub without entering the tiger's cave. If you want to learn the true meaning of a star explosion, you need to go into the depth of the explosion to observe, understand, and learn!"

Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and made a bold and crazy decision.

He was going to rely on his black hole, on his immortal spiritual body, and on everything he'd learned to accomplish an act that probably no one had ever achieved!

Chapter 844: Chapter 847: Breakthrough in the Midst of Madness! _1

What Lin Zhen wanted to do was to venture deep into the heart of the star explosion, to understand the specifics of the blast.

This notion was extremely audacious and even insane. Forget that Lin Zhen was a Longevity Warrior, even if he were a demigod, venturing into the heart of the star explosion would inevitably turn him into ashes.

But Lin Zhen had a reliance.

His reliance was the Immortal Spiritual Body that could withstand the majority of damage and also had a powerful recovery ability. As long as he could withstand the power of the explosion and not obliterate instantly, he could recover unceasingly!

Moreover, he also had other tricks up his sleeve.

For his uniquely powerful martial arts, Lin Zhen had already decided to keep nothing back.

While his Star Power was still breaking through, Lin Zhen resolutely initiated Armorization.

His body enlarged abruptly with black scales covering his body surface.

This time Lin Zhen did not use gold. Metals are not heat-insulating. They are fine to resist weapons in battle but are useless against the high-temperature waves that can burn everything.

After the Armorization, Lin Zhen moved, and a white lotus appeared on the surface of his body.

On his Dark Star, he had a Twinborn Lotus, one was the Light Lotus, and the other was the Ice Lotus. The Ice Lotus could release powerful freezing air, which was Lin Zhen's reliance to venture deep into the star.

The white freezing air immediately covered Lin Zhen's body completely, quickly forming a thick layer of frost.

This layer of frost had turned blue. Exuding freezing air for a range of ten meters, it was not ordinary ice but something chillier and more durable than the Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice.

"Let's go~!"

Whoosh~~~!

Lin Zhen speedily flew toward the depths of the star!

In the beginning, the frost on Lin Zhen's body was getting thicker. After so much cultivation, Lin Zhen's control over the cold had reached minus 250 degrees.

This temperature absolutely could not be melted by ordinary flames, so at the periphery, Lin Zhen had nothing to worry about.

Boom~~!!

A piece of the star broke off. It was like a burning continent with liquid rolling on it like molten iron, golden yellow, and overwhelming!

"Instant teleportation!"

Lin Zhen's figure flashed, appearing abruptly behind the flying continent and continued his charge forward.

When he reached the range of 20 million kilometers, there was a series of crackling noises on Lin Zhen's body surface. Small fragments of the star rained down. The fragments burning at tens of thousands of degrees hit Lin Zhen's body and immediately created a pit or a crack in the thick firm ice.

Landis Spear!

The spear appeared in Lin Zhen's hand. He held it in one hand and turned it around like a windmill, blocking the incoming fragments.

The star fragments hit the spear with loud thunderous noise. At this moment, Lin Zhen's Star Power was potent, and he kept moving forward against the fragments.

The firm ice on his body temporarily eased its melting and steadied again.

Wielding his spear, Lin Zhen charged forward another ten million kilometers!

The star itself was still ten million kilometers ahead. At this time, the firm ice on Lin Zhen's body started to melt faster. His entire person was trekking through a golden yellow sea of fire. No matter how hard the ice was, it wouldn't last long.

Snow Lotus Blossoms!

The lotus bloomed above Lin Zhen's head, releasing a large amount of freezing air, providing support for another five million kilometers!

The deeper he went, the slower Lin Zhen could accelerate. He would not be able to move at the speed of light. Because the fragments flying around had no pattern and if he slightly picked up speed, he might hit fragments as big as a hill or continent.

When he was within a range of five million kilometers, Lin Zhen finally threw his last trick!

Withdrawing his Landis Spear, Lin Zhen's mouth opened wide!

A galaxy emerged above his head, a black hole inversed in his mouth. Lin Zhen head-on sucked up countless fragments with his Black Hole Devour!

Instantly, a long spatial tunnel formed in front of Lin Zhen. Inside this tunnel, all the heat waves and fragments were devoured.

"Lightning Wings!"

The wings popped behind Lin Zhen. He wanted to accelerate with the help of the Lightning Wings!

He himself turned into an arrow released from its bowstring. The Black Hole Devour opened the way in front, and the Lightning Wings propelled behind. Lin Zhen advanced another five million kilometers!

This was the surface of the exploding star, right at the beginning of its explosion. Large fragments and heatwaves flooded Lin Zhen's sightline. What was even more lethal was the strong energy shockwave created by the explosion.

By this point, dodging was no longer possible. Because within a radius of several million kilometers was filled with formidable shockwaves and fragments. Unless Lin Zhen gave up observation, his only path was to withstand the barrage.

Lin Zhen had depleted his Black Hole Devouring power and finally received the first frontal blow.

The strong shockwave carrying star fragments slammed mightily into Lin Zhen's body!

The solid ice was shattered, and Lin Zhen's shoulder, the point of direct contact, broke instantly!

Crack~~!

An Armored arm limped and broke. But the Immortal Spiritual Body of Lin Zhen immediately showed its power, and the fracture started healing right away!

But then the second fragment and the third fragment hit him one after another.

Lin Zhen's body depicted the bromo of a blooming lotus, emitting a chill yet suffering multiple damages nonetheless.

Light Annihilation! Spiritual Barrier!

Lin Zhen continued to push deeper into the planet core; his Immortal Spiritual Body could still hold up!

Boom Boom Boom!!!

The continuous impact from rock fragments forced Lin Zhen to spit out a mouthful of red blood.

"It won't work, I won't reach it by going on like this, I must use Spatial Tear!"

"Chris, have you calculated the distance to the planet core yet?"

"I am currently computing, master. If you continue 3,000 meters forward, I can reduce the error to within ten meters!"

Lin Zhen let out a bellow of rage, once again letting loose the chill on his body; with Landis' spear in his hand, he unleashed the manoeuvre Winter's Chill, which tore through the layers of rock fragments like a drill through a mountain, moving forward once again!

Following a series of explosions with numerous wounds on his body, Lin Zhen spat out another two mouthfuls of fresh blood and pushed forward another three thousand meters.

"Got the answer, master. Enter the Spatial Tear and move forward 7.63 meters, and you'll reach the core of this planet!"

"Let's go!"

With no time to waste, Lin Zhen separated his hands once again, opening up a tear in space.

His figure flashing, Lin Zhen entered the Spatial Tear.

Based on observations, this constant star was roughly twice the size of the sun. Entering the Spatial Tear, Lin Zhen precisely crossed a distance of 7.63 meters.

Upon leaving the Spatial Tear, Lin Zhen's body instantly ignited!

Here, deep within the core of the star explosion, the powerful heat wave and energy had exceeded the limits of human imagination. The flames nearly reduced Lin Zhen to ashes!

"Fire Kirin, Innate Devouring!"

Lin Zhen's avatar and his original body instantly switched, with his avatar releasing the most basic talent skill of the Fire Kirin Clan – Innate Devouring.

A mouthful of genuine fire from the planet core nearly reduced the avatar of Lin Zhen, a Fire-Attribute Super Star River Beast, to ashes. Fortunately, Lin Zhen's original body used this opportunity to catch a breather, and in turn switched back his avatar.

Having evaded the first bout of fierce flames from the planet core, Lin Zhen had the chance to adjust.

"At this point, I no longer have other choices. To observe a star explosion, this is the best spot. I've already used Black Hole Devour, so my only way now is to use my domain and the planets within the domain to block these energies!"

"Galaxy Domain….. Open!"

With that thought, the galaxy around him emerged, with the twenty or so neutron stars Lin Zhen could currently control — which were in reality twenty or so planets — appearing, their distorted fields squeezing and distorting each other to separate the flame of the constant star!

The flame of the constant star was powerful, but it did not have the ability to burn completely through over twenty planets within a short period, especially considering that these planets were highly dense and compressed.

At this rate, Lin Zhen did have a shot at genuinely comprehending a planet explosion.

Unfortunately, he forgot something. Under the onslaught of the extremely powerful energy chaos surrounding him, his Star Power was insufficient!

Craaack Craaack Craaack~~!!

Consecutively, six or seven planets shattered under the impact of the energy chaos.

"It's going to be over!"

If these neutron planets couldn't resist the star explosion, then he, Lin Zhen, would be completely annihilated.

"Damn, I've still been too reckless. Without enough Star Power, if my body explodes, I will be vaporized immediately, leaving nothing behind…."

Lin Zhen closed his eyes. This time, he once again acted recklessly, thinking that with the Immortal Spiritual Body, Black Hole, and freezing air to protect him, he could forcefully charge into the core of the star explosion, but he ended up paying with his life.

He didn't believe that he would have a second chance at resurrection.

Surprisingly, at this critical moment, the barrier between Lin Zhen's Longevity Stage and Three Flowers Stage was shattered!

At this moment, his Star Power formed a robust gusher. A dense, virtually tangible starlight, instantly enveloping a hundred square meters around Lin Zhen's body, actually pushing back the surrounding energy!

Lin Zhen's head suddenly jerked back, as he let out a feral roar into the sky!

Two streaks of golden sulphur-smelling smoke shot ten meters into the distance; his hair flailing about; his body, which was already on fire, instantly stabilized, and the flames extinguished!

Starlight soared into the firmament, forming a pillar of light even within the giant fireball-like constant star!

Lin Zhen sat cross-legged within this pillar of light. Above his head, a green flower began to bloom!

The green flowers with clear patterns brought Lin Zhen a feeling of tremendous comfort; the energy that had been exhausted in the struggle with the star explosion vanished!

This flower was the crucial sign of the Longevity Warriors entering the Three Flowers stage, the Flower of Vitality!

Entering the Three Flowers stage meant that vitality, energy, and spirit was condensed into a flower, symbolizing a substantial leap in a warrior's power.

The appearance of the Flower of Vitality indicated that the barrier within Lin Zhen's body had been shattered, and Star Power started to rampage!

The neutron planets, which were shaking on the verge of collapsing from the impact of the star explosion, received a large supplement of Star Power and immediately stabilized!

At this moment, Lin Zhen's Star Power was like mercury rising in a thermometer placed into a boiling oil pot, skyrocketing and almost bursting the gauge!

Chapter 845: Chapter 848 Three Flowers! (Vote request) _1

The Three Flowers Stage is very important to Lin Zhen.

Once reaching the Three Flowers, Lin Zhen would no longer be at the bottom of the hierarchy in the Endless Battlefield, his realm would no longer be considered backward.

And when it comes to actual fighting power, the strength of Lin Zhen, who has reached the Three Flowers, cannot be estimated at all.

As the Flower of Vitality blooms, Lin Zhen's Star Power begins to burst through explosively.

Lin Zhen's original Star Power was 140 million, of which the Star Power within the Dantian constituted about 97 million.

The remaining 42 million comes from the Evil Star and the Dark Star.

Upon a major breakthrough in realm, with overflowing Star Power, the Star Power would directly double!

From Longevity to Three Flowers, this is a major realm, Lin Zhen's Dantian Star Power directly soared, doubling!!!

The Star Power of 97 million instantly surged to 194 million!!!

Adding the Star Power in his internal world, Lin Zhen's Star Power already stands tall at 236 million as he advances to the Three Flowers Stage!

But this level of Star Power cannot be seen as the end.

Since he had already broken through, Lin Zhen would not stop being simple, as his realm continued to rise.

Unlike all the previous realms, the Three Flowers Stage could only be divided into Early, Middle, and Late Stage.

Taking advantage of the realm breakthrough, when the entirety of the medicine's properties had dissolved, Lin Zhen decisively swallowed a handful of prepared Yang Hua Pills!

He wanted to begin nourishing the flower during this period, to let his Flower of Vitality blossom truly!

In the black hole, the Yang Hua Pills were sucked in all at once, and the immense medicinal properties played their part again.

The most visible manifestation was that atop Lin Zhen's head, the Flower of Vitality finally developed a crack, gradually opening.

There was no fragrance of flowers, only petals opening, getting bigger and bigger!

After swallowing the Yang Hua Pills, Lin Zhen no longer continued to pay attention to the blooming process of the flower, while instead seizing this opportunity, directly illuminated the last Evil Star, Luo Gou!

Of the seven great Evil Stars, the previous sixth one, Jidu Star, provided Lin Zhen with 22 million Star Power.

But Jidu couldn't compare with Luo Gou, when Lin Zhen concentrated his Star Power, stripping away the veil of Luo Gou Star, the strong Star Power surged like a tide again, filling Lin Zhen's internal world.

58 million!

In Lin Zhen's internal world, the six great Evil Stars along with the Dark Star, and the two lotus flowers, had a total Star Power of only 42 million, together they didn't have as much as this greatest and brightest Luo Gou.

As the Star Power of Luo Gou surged in, the Star Power of Lin Zhen's internal world had reached 100 million!

Now, adding the Dantian and internal world, the total Star Power had already reached 294 million!

Lin Zhen was floating in the void, the Flower of Vitality atop his head was still slowly opening, and the Star Power was still increasing slowly.

This Star Power was enough to support nearly twenty nearby planets, resisting the impact of the turbid energy flow from the Constant Star.

As for how the Star Power would continue to increase, Lin Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to it now, as long as the medicinal properties hadn't all been exhausted, his Star Power would continue to rise. The initially assumed 200 million was too conservative, it would definitely exceed 300 million.

His energy was now focused on observing the Star Explosion!

There was a faint starlight flickering in his eyes, invulnerable to the surrounding heat waves, like a divine eye that breaks through all illusions, directly seeing the most real side of things.

Ahead was a scorching energy body, the core of the Constant Star, it was the most powerful part of the planet.

But this star had been alive for far too long, it was time for it to die.

This energy body was undergoing fission, all atoms were fragmenting, rapidly reorganizing, and then collapsing in death!

This process is hard to explain with science. Although scientists claim that science can do anything, no one has ever witnessed what exactly happens inside when a Constant Star explodes.

Thus, all scientific explanations are merely guesses.

Lin Zhen didn't want to use science to confirm what caused these changes, he was paying more attention to how this process of change could be integrated into his martial arts techniques.

At this moment, he had forgotten the endless dangers around him and that he was still in the process of breakthrough. His heart entered a clear, empty state, his eyes only focused on the changes in the planet's core, nothing else.

Bai Susu was entirely unaware of what was happening to Lin Zhen.

At this time, Bai Susu had completed her breakthrough.

Unlike Lin Zhen's genuine breakthrough, Bai Susu had already possessed such a realm; her breakthrough was in fact just a recovery of her own power through the help of medicinal strength.

Having recovered to the Divine Transformation, Bai Susu felt in brilliant condition.

Before this, Bai Susu had thought many times that once she had recovered to the Divine Transformation, she would immediately send this news to her sister Bai Xue through the Dimensional Universe.

She wanted to share her joy with her sister, believing her sister would be happy.

But when the moment truly came, the first thing that came to Bai Susu's mind was to tell Lin Zhen about it.

To restore Divine Transformation, Bai Susu was extraordinarily lucky because she was a saint-level alchemist. Other people simply didn't have what it takes.

Her beautiful eyes searched the air, searching for Lin Zhen, but her surroundings were filled with emptiness and forever quiet, let alone any trace of Lin Zhen.

"Where did he go? When I was preparing to break through, he was clearly not far away."

Bai Susu felt somewhat worried her heart. She looked everywhere, but the shadow of Lin Zhen was nowhere in sight.

"Sure enough, not the same clan, not the same heart. He said he'd protect me, but when I was breaking through he ran off. Nevermind, I won't worry about him for now. Most of my strength has recovered, it's about time I met those who are looking for me."

With Lin Zhen missing, Bai Susu, a little disheartened, checked her Dimensional Universe. As expected, it was accessible now. She wanted to contact her sister first.

But at this time, the words that Lin Zhen had said to her suddenly sprang up in her mind.

"Let me teach you one more thing – being cautious in the face of problems is never wrong…."

"Stay cautious… Stay cautious…"

Bai Susu took a deep breath. She didn't know why, but she temporarily suppressed her desire to contact her sister. She decided to first find out who was looking for her. Maybe she could sneak back to Qingqiu Mountain and give her sister a surprise.

Bai Susu was capable of going to where the fireworks lit up, but after a moment of hesitation, she chose not to do so.

She wanted to stay here. If Lin Zhen returns, and she leaves, then Lin Zhen won't be able to find her.

"He saved me once. I should say goodbye to him."

But instead of seeking others, she would let others come to her. Bai Susu opened her internal world. She took out the universes Endless Star Sea's firework which was used for contact.

When Lin Zhen saw the firework, he was a bit surprised. However, this firework was actually astonishingly big. Each one of them cost as much as constructing a spaceship. With the enormous size it had when it exploded, similar to a satellite's size, it appeared remarkably eye-catching in the vast cosmic space, hence it could be used for contact purposes.

With a flick of her jade finger, a cluster of fire ignited the firework.

Whooosh~~!

Similar to the launching of a rocket, this firework soared hundreds of thousands of meters before exploding in outer space.

Boom~~!

Fireworks illuminated the sky, the brightness flashing. Bai Susu stood beneath the fireworks, waiting for her clanmen's arrival.

Outside of Tianfang City, on a floating road, the demon warrior Nani suddenly stood up.

"Quick, look there. What's that?"

The few demon warriors beside him stood up too and looked over.

"Boss Nani, that's Princess's signal. That's the signal Princess sent us, she's calling out to us!"

These few days, they have been looking for a man named Lin Xun, but it turned out just like finding a needle in a haystack. Their strenuous efforts were all to no avail, it was as though this person did not even exist.

This made Nani and the others suspicious, could it be that Lin Xun had never stepped foot in Tianfang City? However, the deceased warriors did not seem to be lying.

Perplexed, they had no choice but to loiter outside of Tianfang City. They occasionally set off the contact firework and hoped that if the princess saw it, she would respond.

Originally, this last-ditch method showed least hope, but unexpectedly it worked. The princess actually responded.

The quite peculiar firework set off by the princess was different from others, as it was quite dazzling.

Looking at the position of the firework, if it was indeed launched by the princess, then it meant she was in outer space outside of Tianfang City. They wouldn't need to worry about offending anyone in the city if they went there.

"Hahahaha, it came without even trying after looking so hard. I didn't expect the princess to actually be in Tianfang City. It looks like we, a few people, have made quite a contribution. Let's go, brothers, let's check together the famed Princess of Qingqiu Mountain, and see what a peerless beauty she is!"

The Spirit Dog Warriors who were following behind the Demon Warrior said, grinning, "Boss Nani, if we save Princess this time, we'll definitely gain rewards. If you become rich, those of us who are your followers can benefit too."

Nani suddenly stopped his footsteps and looked at the Spirit Dog Warrior, "Do you think we're going to save the princess?"

The Spirit Dog Warrior was taken aback for a moment, "Isn't that so? The troop has been scouring the universe, isn't it to save the princess?"

The Demon Warrior suddenly laughed, "Hm…what you said is correct, indeed, a good lad full of loyalty. Lead the way."

The Spirit Dog Warrior, happy and elated, ran ahead. But the moment he turned around, a dark claw pierced through his chest, reaching into his chest cavity and taking out his heart!

Boom~~!

Nani crushed the heart in his hand. Just before the Spirit Dog Warrior's death, he heard Nani say, "Kid, since we're not on the same side, you're better off dead."

Confused till death, it was only upon dying that the Spirit Dog Warrior felt he seemed to have discovered a secret.

Having murdered the Spirit Dog Warrior, Nani shook his hands, "Heh heh, there won't be any annoying flies this time. This time, I want to truly see, what kind of flavor the princess has!!!"

Chapter 846: Chapter 849: The Huge Change in Lin Zhen!_1

The surrounding energy elements reached an incredulous realm.

Light energy, thermal energy, elemental shockwave, space collapses!

All these forces combined with enough power to destroy the heavens and the earth!

Right at the core of this catastrophe, Lin Zhen's comprehension reached a critical moment.

Around him, twenty constant stars of the Galaxy Domain formed a protective layer, isolating Lin Zhen as much as they could.

On his body surface, freezing air continually dissipated, blocking any residual flux.

...

The lotus and the scales provided him protection. But the most critical factor was his Star Power, supporting his domain. This was the key to his survival in the core of a star explosion.

"The place I am at right now is the core of a supernova. Using the opportunity of my breakthrough to Three Flowers, using my evolved planet in the Galaxy Domain, most of the temperature can be resisted. Coupled with my freezing air and firepower, with my lotus and scales, and with my Star Power's support, I can survive temporarily."

"For a supernova explosion, a strong carrier is needed initially, such as a constant star like the sun or even a constant star larger than the sun, for practical success."

"The constant star in front of me, which is unknown, is approximately twenty times the size of the sun. Its energy is still insufficient to support its weight, and hence it is on the path to destruction."

"Vaguely I can remember, during a supernova explosion, the internal temperature can reach up to 10 billion times the luminosity of the sun!"

"Photons, atoms, molecules, particles… the fundamental constituents of all matter are provoking collectively. Their shifting rules…I can almost grasp."

Lin Zhen keenly observed the core's movements, observed the collapsed celestial fragments, observed the shockwave's movement patterns, all while making some strange gestures.

"Yes, yes, yes…just like this, this antimatter movement can trigger a big explosion!!!"

"Huh? Something is wrong, there are some issues here…."

Around Lin Zhen, those neutron stars were rapidly melting.

Even stars couldn't withstand the high heat of a star explosion.

However, Lin Zhen was in oblivious rapture, engrossed in his research into the star explosion.

When he discovered a particular rule, he was thrilled. Whenever he failed in certain areas, he was frustrated.

His clothes had completely turned into ashes, and his hair and other body hair had all burnt out.

Even the ice-covered body would occasionally catch fire, fingers, toes, and even a certain part of his lower body would often burn off. If it were not for his immortal spiritual body which could regenerate, Lin Zhen could hardly be considered a man now.

In the end, only the last six planets surrounding Lin Zhen were left.

These six were the largest neutrons from the black hole, which were now getting smaller and about to melt completely.

Once these planets have completely melted, Lin Zhen would undoubtedly be dead!

But at this moment, Lin Zhen finally had an epiphany!

"Atomic movement, molecular movement, I've figured it all out!"

"I understand, I understand… this is the essence of a supernova explosion. The temperature and energy concentrate together, create a star-like substance… and then… the energy escapes, causing an explosion!"

"To recreate such an explosion, there are approximately two ways. One is an energy explosion that can be triggered casually, and the other is the actual explosion accumulated over time."

"But even the energy explosion that can be triggered casually is far more powerful than the Constant Star Fall."

"Moreover, this move seems to be connected with the Constant Star Fall. When the move is executed, it could either be a regular move or a connected explosion. This is my martial technique!"

Just when Lin Zhen thought he had understood all the mysteries, a star explosion finally reached its ultimate stage!

In the final explosion of the energy body, the five protective planets around Lin Zhen were completely shattered. Rays of light in a radial pattern swept across the cosmic space, and at the very center, a tiny naked singularity quietly formed.

As soon as the naked singularity appeared, it expanded rapidly like a plague!

"Ah! A black hole!"

"A black hole formed from a supernova explosion!"

Lin Zhen was stunned. The appearance of a black hole was a good thing; his internal black hole was just a constant star-level black hole. If he could devour the power of another black hole, he could advance to a giant star-level black hole.

However, at this moment, Lin Zhen discovered that the formation of a black hole after a supernova explosion seemed to carry significant implications for him.

"Constant Star Fall…Star Explosion…Birth of a Black Hole, if these phenomena are connected…I fear no one can withstand it."

After etching this scene in his heart, the black hole in Lin Zhen's body rotated and directly swallowed the newly formed black hole in front of him.

Although it was just a small naked singularity, it was still a black hole, and it carried enough energy to evolve into a giant star-level black hole.

Once the naked singularity was swallowed, the surrounding spatial energy gradually returned to normal. The terrifying scene formed by the supernova explosion would eventually be dissolved by the endless universe.

However, an astonishing transformation took place within Lin Zhen's body.

Inside his Dantian, the enormous black hole that resembled a leak expanded a few times, and then suddenly swelled up!

If the black hole's diameter was one meter before, it had now become ten meters!

After many years and devouring three black holes consecutively, the black hole inside Lin Zhen's body finally evolved into a giant star-level black hole!

At this moment, Lin Zhen's body transformed involuntarily!

Black Hole Beast revealed!

Hiss~~~!!

Lin Zhen roared to the heavens, his body increasing rapidly in size!

Previously, Lin Zhen's body was over twenty meters long, but now it had grown to over fifty meters in an instant. Towering like a skyscraper, he let out a roar, a black hole spinning above his head, exuding a formidable aura!

The three Destructive God Thunders became larger and stronger, their dark blue lightning frightening, possessing the power to split the heavens and earth!

Maturity stage!

Only entering the Giant Star level of Black Hole allows Lin Zhen to consume the most effective medicine after his transformation, letting him go straight from the peak of the growth period to the maturity stage.

The Black Hole Beast in its mature stage, many times stronger than before, possessed incredibly strong fangs and claws. Even the scales covering his body, Lin Zhen could feel their power reaching that of a spiritual treasure!

This meaning, after Lin Zhen's armorization, this magnificent scale armor would fear the attacks of most of the spiritual treasures!

However, spiritual treasures like the Sky-Splitting, couldn't even cause a slight damage to Lin Zhen's scales!

Only weapons like Landis Spear, Huayun, and God Emperor, that maintained high-intensity output, could cause some damage to Lin Zhen.

The Black Hole Beast's promotion also resulted in a huge increase in Lin Zhen's Star Power!

Having devoured a naked singularity, Lin Zhen's Star Power reached new heights. Earlier, the Yang Hua Pill had boosted Lin Zhen's power, and after replenishing black hole energy, his Flower of Vitality had finally fully bloomed!

Peak of the Three-Flowers Early Stage!

This was Lin Zhen's present realm.

His Star Power was as high as 350 million!

This was the state of Lin Zhen's body's Star Power.

Along with Lin Zhen's main body's promotion, his clone also advanced, reaching the early peak stage of Divine Transformation, nearing the middle stage.

Initially, the clone's Star Power was 200 million, which was considerably stronger than the main body, but a clone's potential for promotion could never surpass that of the main body. Now, the clone's Star Power was 400 million.

Although its total amount is still higher than the main body, the degree of increase is no longer as much as the main body. Their combat power is now approximately equal.

Once Lin Zhen enters God Transformation in the future, his main body may start to exceed the strength of his clone. Despite this, the potential of this clone is mind-boggling compared to any other clones.

His body shook and Lin Zhen transformed from the state of a Black Hole Beast back into his humanoid form.

His body sat in the void, surrounded by slowly drifting debris from broken stars left from numerous explosions that formed a large frothy energy cluster.

In this chaos, Lin Zhen took a long breath.

Finally, he's advanced to the Three Flowers Realm!

After reaching the Three Flowers Realm, Lin Zhen's Star Power experienced a tremendous leap to 350 million! This is already at the level of God Realm Transformation.

The standard for entering Divine Transformation is 100 million, and entering God Realm Transformation is 200 million, Lin Zhen's current level is probably a decent early or mid-stage in God Realm Transformation.

Moreover, they lack Lin Zhen's method of exerting Star Power to its maximum. Lin Zhen's 350 million Star Power is basically equivalent to other people's 400 million Star Power.

Star Power is always the most important thing for Martial Artists. With this great power, Lin Zhen finally had valuable capital for his journey in the cosmic space.

Whiz~~~!!

Opening his eyes, Lin Zhen took a step forward, tearing through space. When he reappeared, he was already in front of a planet.

This was a barren Star of Death, a desolate land.

Lin Zhen raised his hand and threw a punch without using a sword or a spear.

Constant Star Fall!

A thick and large energy column was released at the speed of light. The front end of the energy column was a light sphere, a Constant Star!

He threw out a fierce punch across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, striking the planet. The energy structure within changed, and a Starburst resulted!

Destructive explosions occurred once again!

A planet as big as Earth was shattered on the spot under Lin Zhen's Starburst!

Countless pieces of the planet were scattered in disorder, molten lava was ejected and splattered in space.

At the core of the Starburst, Lin Zhen had a thought, and a black hole appeared!

The range of the Giant Star class black hole's radiation was unimaginably extensive, swallowing the debris of the entire planet!

The fragments entering the black hole would, over time, be compressed and condensed into a neutron.

Lin Zhen lowered his head and looked at his hand.

"Such a powerful attack, Star Fall, Starburst, Black Hole. These are the Martial skills that truly belong to me, Lin Zhen."

"This is only a pure energy attack. if I can condense a neutron in the black hole, whose mass is comparable to a Constant Star and fill it with energy, I could even launch an attack like a true Star Explosion, or even artificially create a black hole."

Lin Zhen felt a wave of excitement and took a deep breath.

Once again he looked up at the cosmic space, only now did he feel that he finally had a foothold in this vast universe and in the grand Original World!

Chapter 847: Chapter 850: Robbery!_1

The Demon Warrior Nani, leading several Demons in the realm of Divine Transformation, quickly approached the place where the fireworks were ignited.

After they got closer, they saw a charming figure in white standing in the void.

Nani and his companions arrived in front of the woman, bowed slightly, with a strange smile on their faces, "Subordinate Demon Warrior Nani, great to meet you, Imperial Princess."

Seeing the somewhat disrespectful attitude of the Demon Warriors, Bai Susu's face turned cold.

"It seems that the Demon Clan has been a bit too lenient all these years, failing to show proper respect upon seeing the Imperial Princess. Have you forgotten that the Imperial Clan is your master?"

"Alright, we were wrong. But please forgive us, we've traveled far and wide to find you, Imperial Princess. Now that we've finally found you, we were just too excited, that's forgivable, right?"

...

Although Bai Susu was not delighted, she would not take these things to heart, she merely said lightly: "All of you, search the surroundings to see if there's a Human Clan Warrior nearby. He belongs to the Galaxy Beast race that awakened from the human bloodline."

"Ah! Is the person the Princess is looking for named Lin Xun?" asked Nani.

"That is none of your concern. Hurry up and search, he's nearby."

Nani and the others glanced at each other, figuring that a person nearby would be rather inconvenient for whatever they were planning. So they decided to look around, if they couldn't find him, they wouldn't have any second thoughts.

If they did find him, they would eliminate him on the spot to prevent future trouble.

Lin Zhen's realm had finally stabilized.

The 350 million Star Power within the Dantian was like a vast sea.

He gently raised his hand and three Destructive God Thunders leaped in his palm.

The power of Destructive God Thunder increased after the Black Hole evolved into a Giant Star level. Lin Zhen could feel that every Divine Thunder had a power surpassing the Starburst he had just launched.

A single Divine Thunder could destroy a planet!

Of course, if Lin Zhen could really unleash a true Starburst, that would be the most powerful attack.

To unleash a true Starburst, Lin Zhen needed to condense a large neutron after acquiring the Black Hole. Its mass must reach at least that of the sun. He then had to inject light and flame energy into this neutron over a long period of time, turning it into a Constant Star.

Once the Constant Star was successfully condensed, Lin Zhen had the foundation to launch a real Starburst.

That move possessed endless destructive power, and was a massive destructive weapon.

Lin Zhen closed his palm, concealed the Destructive God Thunder, the final restorative process ended, and the already-bursting Flower of Vitality on his head disappeared after blooming.

"Peak of Three Flowers Early Stage, the Flower of Vitality had been successfully condensed. The next step is to continue refining the Yang Hua Pill to condense the Flower of Qi and cultivate the energy sea within the Dantian."

"The only problem is I don't have the materials for the Yang Hua Pill. I need time to buy and search for it. I guess I should look for an opportunity to earn money. Life is hard without money."

Determined to return to Tianfang City, Lin Zhen planned to immediately participate in the fights in the virtual world of the arena and end his games at the arena.

Once the Eye of the Storm returned, it would be the beginning of Lin Zhen's money-making venture.

"I should go check on that little fox. Maybe she's about to leave. I should say goodbye since we've met."

Lin Zhen raised his hand, easily tore open the space and entered the spatial rift.

"Your Highness, we have searched all the nearby areas, there are no other life forms," reported a subordinate.

Bai Susu was taken aback: "Absolutely none?"

"Definitely none. I've searched a diameter of one million kilometers around us. Except for Tianfang City in the distance, there are no other life forms."

"He must have gone to Tianfang City then. Well, if fate does not allow us to meet, we will not meet." Bai Susu sighed, her heart feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Please get ready to leave, Your Highness. We will escort you," said Nani.

Nani used his mental power and had a luxurious carriage pulled out by Hellhounds from his internal world.

Bai Susu had no doubts. She was homesick and immediately followed Nani into the carriage.

Inside the carriage was a large bed, warm and comfortable. Bai Susu was just about to rest when she noticed Nani still standing behind her.

"What are you doing? Get out!"

Nani raised his hand, and the Hellhounds howled and started to pull the carriage at high speed. Meanwhile, the carriage door closed and the Energy Shield activated, forming a isolated space.

"How audacious! You dare not obey my command! Are you planning to betray the Imperial Clan?"

At this moment, Nani straightened his back and sneered: "You may carry the title of 'Imperial Princess', but don't forget, your Qingqiu Mountain lineage is not part of the Imperial Clan, it's just a fox spirit with ancient lineage."

"You dare to speak to me, the Imperial Princess, like this? Are you tired of living?"

"What don't I dare?" Nani suddenly moved a step closer, a dangerous aura washed over her, making Bai Susu's face change and she retreated several steps.

"What are you trying to do? You dare to disrespect me!"

"Bai Susu, don't take your Imperial Princess status too seriously. Before you're married to the current Absolute Heaven Emperor, you're at best just a fiancee. It's still uncertain if you'll end up being the Heavenly Empress. Why are you trying to impress us?"

Bai Susu's eyes turned cold: "It seems the Demon Clan is really planning to rebel!"

"No, no, no! The Demon Clan has always been loyal to the Imperial Clan. If I dare to talk to you like this today, it's because I have something to rely on. Bai Susu, stop dreaming of being the Imperial Princess. You probably won't be able to return to Qingqiu Mountain and become the Heavenly Empress anymore."

"Nonsense! I've already restored the communication to the Dimensional Universe. My sister could pick me up at any time. You should consider it a great fortune that you've even had a chance to meet me. If you dare to be impolite again, I will have my sister take off your dog head at any time!"

"Hahaha!!! As expected of a flower that was raised in a greenhouse. You can connect to your Dimensional Universe at any time. I guess you can only contact your sister in your Dimensional Universe. Let me tell you, if you're smart, you'll go with me, Nani. I can keep you as a concubine. If not, there will be no more Bai Susu in this world!"

Bai Susu retreated in shock. She didn't expect the Demon Warrior to really dare to do such a crazy thing. This Demon Warrior dared to talk like this, he must have some kind of reliance.

But Bai Susu didn't believe her sister would abandon her, she immediately called her sister through the Dimensional Universe.

However, what she got was a message that her sister's Dimensional Universe had been closed.

"Why is my sister's Dimensional Universe closed? What happened to her?"

"Hehehe, just obediently follow me, after we consummate our marriage, I'll slowly tell you!"

Nani looked at the gorgeous Bai Susu, saliva almost escaping his mouth. "I never thought I'd be this lucky, to enjoy the woman of the Heaven Emperor. Come on, babe! Surrender, or suffer!"

With that said, Nani lunged at her!

Bai Susu had now recovered to the Early Stage of Divine Transformation. She raised her palm and a soft sword flashed out!

Two rings of metal weapon appeared on Nani's hand, clashing with Bai Susu in the carriage.

Bai Susu was undoubtedly strong, but her realm was much inferior to Nani's. She was in the Early Stage of Divine Transformation, while Nani was in the Mid Stage of God World Transformation. She could support it for a short time, but she was inevitably defeated after a while.

Five minutes later, Nani's metal ring struck Bai Susu's shoulder and knocked her onto the back bed!

Before Bai Susu could get up, the metal ring flew out, directly binding Bai Susu's body and hands tightly.

Watching Bai Susu struggle on the bed, Nani laughed: "My little beauty, don't struggle in vain. This is a spiritual treasure level Vajra Ring, you can't escape. The more you struggle, the tighter it gets!"

Bai Susu's face turned red, she stubbornly struggled.

"Hehe, it's tight, huh? Keep struggling, now, I'm going to taste if the Imperial Princess is tighter than this Vajra Ring!"

Seeing Nani lunging at her again, Bai Susu let out a scream of despair.

If she were defiled by this demon, Bai Susu would rather die!

Suddenly Nani's body swayed, letting out a painful yelp.

"Ouch!"

The carriage suddenly made an emergency stop. Nani couldn't stand steadily and smashed into the carriage wall.

"What the hell! How are you driving? If you don't give me an explanation, you'll be dead meat today!" Nani shouted angrily at the outside.

"Boss Nani! There's a problem!" The carriage driver, a demon warrior, shouted back.

Nani climbed up somewhat awkwardly and looked outside the carriage.

Across the void, a man in a cyan robe stood. In one hand, he was playing with a small orb.

He occasionally raised one hand, and a flame emerged from his palm, shooting into the orb.

The fire illuminated a bright blue flame, clearly of unbelievably high temperature. Even hundreds of meters away, they could feel their skin burning, but when it landed on the orb, nothing changed.

The man once again gathered a flame and shot it into the orb, then he finally looked at the demons.

His fingers pointed around in the void and he muttered a spell.

"Look at these ugly freaks, their faces like rodents, not knowing their place, driving a carriage like dogs and pigs – a bunch of things worse than beasts. Today, you ran into me, the first handsome man in all eight wildernesses and four seas of the universe, and the number one bed star of the New World Yuan Realm. You want to walk away unscathed? Give up the woman in the carriage to me to enjoy for five hundred years, then eat three thousand catties of hot dung. Then, I'll let you live!"

The Demon Warriors looked at each other, wondering if this human was a fool or not. A Three-Flowers Stage actually dared to rob a group of God Transformations in the cosmic space.

But the way this warrior used the bright blue flame to shoot into the sphere was a bit strange. Besides, Nani was about to have good news, and the Demon Warrior who drove the carriage didn't want to make things difficult, saying: "Stinking boy, I'm in a good mood today, you, at the Three Flowers Stage, isn't worth me taking action, scram now and survive!"

He thought he was being merciful, but the warrior on the opposite side suddenly changed his expression: "Dream on! You ran into me, the number one handsome man in the universe and the strongest in bed in the New World Yuan Realm, and you think you can get away scot-free? Now, hand over the woman in your carriage for me to play with for five hundred years, then each of you consume three thousand kilograms of hot dung, and I'll spare your lives!"

Chapter 848: Chapter 851: I Know Lin Zhen_1

Hearing the arrogant words of the man in front of him, a Demon Warrior's anger surged up to his foreheads.

"You're insane! If you're hellbent on seeking your own death, then I'll gladly oblige!"

With a leap, he transformed his black long spear in hand into a myriad of spears, attacking like a fierce dragon.

The Human Clan Warrior opposite to him shook suddenly, morphing into a giant beast stretching over fifty meters long and almost twenty meters tall!

This beast had a colorful mane, a body clad in multicolored scales that shimmered with golden light. It had deer antlers, the head of a dragon, a tail of a lion, and tiger claws. Its massive fangs were a terrifying sight.

It appeared to be a Kirin, but typically, Kirin's would be red, black, white, or green, not a mix of many colors. They had neither seen nor knew of such a species before.

...

The colossal beast opened its maw, and the charging Demon Warrior had no chance to dodge. He was promptly swallowed whole!

Between the opening and closing of its fangs, the Demon Warrior's black long spear was directly bitten and turned into scrap metal, then spat out.

"Ugh! The Demon Warrior tastes a bit stinky, I don't find it palatable."

The giant beast showed a distaste on its face but did not stop. It suddenly lunged forward!

The strength of a mature Super Star River Beast is absolutely on par with a God Transformation!

Two Demon Warriors with Divine Transformations were hit directly and turned into a bloody pulp with a simple swipe of its paw.

Their knives and swords clanked against its claws with a metallic sound but failed to harm the beast in the slightest.

After killing two more, the giant beast's tail swung out like lightning, cleaving the last coachman into two halves!

With every move, four warriors with Divine Transformations horrifically lost their lives on the spot!

After killing all four, the giant beast did not stop. It directly killed the carriage-pulling Hellhounds with a single swipe of its paw, leaving no one outside the carriage.

Slowly moving to the carriage window, the giant beast, with eyes the size of a water tank, looked into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the Demon Warrior Nani and Bai Susu were each crouched in a corner.

Nani had seen the situation outside the carriage, but Bai Susu couldn't see because of her angle. She only heard the beast's roars and the screams of the Demon Warriors as they died horribly.

Both held their breaths in fear, not daring to make any sound.

Encountering a mature Star River Beast in the star-space was absolutely a terrifying experience. Especially when this big monster seemed very powerful. Even Nani, who was mighty, didn't dare to say he could easily kill four men with Divine Transformations. The beast had accomplished that, hence the fear.

Bai Susu's tears were on the verge of falling. She might have avoided Nani's harassment, but as the royal princess, experiencing such a downfall was too unbearable.

"Alright, getting eaten is still better than getting violated. I hope that beast is not interested in me, a tiny fox without much flesh."

As Bai Susu was praying inwardly, suddenly the carriage started shaking violently!

The giant beast extended its giant paws, and with a cracking sound, it tore the carriage apart!

Roar~~~!!!

Bai Susu and Nani were exposed to the void.

"Roar, two little mice indeed! You'll make a good meal."

Nani could easily sense the extraordinary power that the colorful Kirin possessed, a power that was absolutely above his own.

Not having enough time to think of anything else, Nani immediately turned to run!

The colorful Kirin opened its mouth wide and a storm of energy bullets whizzed out!

Every single second, several hundred thousand bullets were fired, it was a real bullet storm!

Nani was immediately horrified and started to dodge desperately while suspended mid-air. However, he was still repeatedly hit by bullets and rapidly becoming torn and wounded.

"Beast! I'll fight you to the death!"

Nani drew out his long sword and charged the beast with one last assault!

The beast opened its mouth again and unleashed a beam of light. A shining constant star was directly blasted towards him!

"Break!"

As a high-level fighter of God World Transformation, Nani could muster considerable strength. His sword sliced through the space and struck directly at the constant star!

A hint of mockery appeared in the beast's eyes. As the sword struck the constant star, an explosion occurred!

Bai Susu, who was at a distance, saw all of this.

With a resounding explosion that shook the star-space, a burst of fierce fire, a rising mushroom cloud at the original location, and void left after the explosion!

The explosion was akin to a star's destruction. Following the loud noise, the shock wave sent her body flying tens of thousands of miles away!

She knew that Nani was dead.

With Nani's death, the risk of her violation was eliminated. But Bai Susu was far from relieved, she didn't want to become the beast's meal.

Though her body was still restrained by the Vajra Ring, causing her to feel a bit dizzy, Bai Susu still stood strong and fled deeper into the star-space.

She believed that the farther she could escape, the higher the chance she could run into the Endless Species. As long as she was found by the Endless Species, she could be sent back to Qingqiu Mountain.

Her waist-length hair danced in the void as she gritted her teeth and flew away as fast as she could, hoping that the beast, powerful and terrifying, wouldn't follow her.

But life often doesn't go as planned, she hadn't run far when a massive shadow approached from behind.

Bai Susu turned around to see the giant rainbow Kirin leisurely striding towards her.

"No~!"

Bai Susu screamed, accelerating with all her strength.

No matter how she tried to escape, the distance between her and the giant beast was getting closer and closer.

Having never experienced such desolation and despair, she longed for someone to come to her rescue.

Yet, in the vast void, only she and the beast were there. She dashed away swiftly, gritting her teeth. She didn't know how much time had passed until she came across a gigantic meteorite gliding through the space.

Exhausting her last bits of strength, Bai Susu climbed onto the meteorite and quickly hid behind it, pressing herself tightly against it, afraid even to breathe loudly.

"Please don't come over, please don't find me!"

She lay in a depression, eyes tightly shut.

After a quiet while, she timidly opened her eyes.

Which nearly frightened her to death. That beast was right in front of her!

The beast's large fangs were horrifying, and its long tongue licked around its lips, human-like, it even spoke human language.

"Tsk, tsk! What a tender little fox. You smell delicious. I just ate a stinky Demon Warrior which upset my stomach, you'll be a nice palate cleanser."

Bai Susu's pretty face turned as pale as paper. She took a deep breath: "You can't eat me."

The beast paused: "Why?"

"I know some Galaxy Beasts wandering the universe are uncivilized. But you must have heard of the Imperial Clan, right?"

The beast nodded slightly: "I have."

"That ́s good. I am Bai Susu of Qingqiu Mountain, the fiance of the Emperor of the Imperial Clan. One day we Endless Species will rule the land. I will become the most distinguished woman in the universe. If you eat me, the Emperor won't spare you, and the Endless Species won't spare you either."

Having said that, the beast laughed uproariously as if it was the funniest joke.

"Hahaha~~! It doesn't matter who he is. We Galaxy Beasts don't concern ourselves with your petty power struggles. Eating my fill is what matters. If he is as powerful as you claim, why isn't he here saving you?"

The beast seemed ready to attack.

Bai Susu quickly countered: "No! Even if you don't know about the Emperor, the Qingqiu Mountain is also very powerful. My sister, Bai Xue, is a demi-goddess. She loves me dearly and would definitely seek revenge for me."

The beast was even more dismissive: "Little fox, it seems you aren't aware of the situation. No matter who comes to your proclaim, if they had the ability to save you, you wouldn't have fallen into this situation. They are all illusory and unreliable in my eyes because they aren't powerful enough to earn my respect. You better make peace with your fate."

"I know many strong people, and some of them are even gods. They all are….."

Bai Susu started to list all the powerful people she knew, hoping to intimidate the beast into sparing her.

Disappointingly, the beast was arrogant and didn't pay heed to anyone's fame or power; no matter who she appealed to, it was no use.

"Enough! Little fox, I've put up with your prattle long enough. All those people are nothing in my eyes. They don't have any potential, while I can grow indefinitely, so why should I be afraid of them? You better accept your fate!"

A roar, and the beast lunged at her.

Frightened, Bai Susu quickly closed her eyes but suddenly blurted out, "I know Lin Zhen!"

She shouted out of desperation, not expecting much as even the gods' names hadn't been of any use. Could Lin Zhen make a difference?

But a miracle happened!

The creature stopped in its tracks!

The creature's jaw slowly closed, a trace of worry flickering in its eyes.

Bai Susu opened her eyes, witnessing this scene.

"Who did you say you know?" the creature asked.

"Lin Zhen."

"You mean Lin Zhen who came from New World, the one claims to be the most talented in New World, who became a Saint-Level Alchemist at a young age, won the championship in Divine Punishment Star, forcefully entered Holy Land of Falling Star Lake, hailed as the successor of the Holy Land, and who is the most powerful prodigy in the Original World in millions of years?"

Bai Susu was a bit taken aback. She knew Lin Zhen was very capable, but she hadn't realized he was so renowned and had so many awe-inspiring titles.

But even a fool would know what to say under these circumstances, let alone Bai Susu, a cunning little fox.

"Exactly, it ́s him! We are very close, and he is nearby. He will be here soon to help me."

As she finished, Bai Susu even cried out Lin Zhen ́s name as loud as she could.

And just as her voice faded, a beam of light flew over from the distance, closing in incredibly fast!

Stepping on lightning, with wind and clouds above his head, Lin Zhen, looking like a god, made his appearance!

Seeing Lin Zhen, the creature trembled, "Damn it, I fear nothing in heaven and earth, except this guy. Little fox, you're lucky today! I'm leaving, and hope never to see you again!"

The creature turned, and in a moment vanished into the depths of space.

Warmth descended, and Lin Zhen landed in front of Bai Susu.

After all that suffering and harassment, being constantly restrained and barely escaping from death's door, at this moment, Bai Susu, having endured so much and having survived this catastrophe, couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Chapter 849: Chapter 852 Farewell_1

Lin Zhen stepped in front of Bai Susu, raising his palm, a blade of gold emerged in his hand!

With a flash of gold light, the Lingbao grade Vajra Ring was cleaved apart!

"Xiaogua, I am a bit late…"

Before Lin Zhen could finish his sentence, the soft and fragrant body of the little vixen had already rushed into his arms, crying loudly.

Lin Zhen gently stroked her long hair, a smile at the corner of his lips.

But the little vixen's vulnerability did not last long, such weak emotions couldn't persist in a Martial Artist for long.

...

"Lin Zhen, you saved me again." The little vixen whispered, lying in his arms.

"Don't say that, we are friends, aren't we?"

Little fox fell silent for a while, then suddenly said resentfully, "I think there's more to this incident, the warriors of the Demon Clan actually dared to attack me, my sister's Dimensional Universe has never ignored my calls, there might be trouble in Qingqiu Mountain."

"So, what do you plan to do? Going back to Qingqiu Mountain?" Lin Zhen asked.

In his opinion, the little vixen should give up now.

Unexpectedly, the little vixen said, "Of course I have to go back, but it's not as simple as just going back, I need to find out what exactly happened."

Lin Zhen paused for a moment, "You can't be reckless, or you'll be in danger again."

The little vixen, having experienced this incident, seemed to have matured a lot, she was naturally clever and at this moment, said calmly, "I know, but I must return to Qingqiu Mountain, nobody can cover the entire sky with one hand."

Lin Zhen sighed, knowing that the little vixen was determined to go, he felt somewhat disappointed.

The little vixen left Lin Zhen's arms, her face a little flushed, she used the opportunity to tidy her clothes to cover up her emotions, and then said, "Lin Zhen, I need to leave, don't worry about my safety, I encountered danger because I wanted to return to Qingqiu Mountain, after reverting to the God Transformation, there is another way I can return to my Master's side, it's just that my Master doesn't allow me to return without a good reason, now I don't have to worry about that."

Lin Zhen nodded, "Alright, speaking of that big monster just now, it seemed quite fierce, I took quite a risk."

The little vixen suddenly smiled faintly, "Lin Zhen, I think I underestimated you, you're actually a great hero."

Lin Zhen chuckled, "Heroes often don't have good endings, if I had a choice, I'd rather have something practical than be a hero."

A look of pity appeared on the little fox's face, at that moment she suddenly felt that Lin Zhen was very pitiful, at least during the time they had been together, he actually hadn't gained much, even though her dream-entering ability had helped him, he helped her as well.

"Then…then I'll give you some money."

Lin Zhen raised his head to gaze at the starry sky, "Forget it, don't desecrate our relationship with money, besides I'm a Saint-Level Alchemist, I'm not lacking money."

"Then… I'll give you my Lingbao Twin Swords."

Lin Zhen gave a cold laugh, grabbed the Vajra Ring that he had severed, "I easily broke this Lingbao ring that trapped you, do you think your Lingbao will be of any use to me?"

Bai Susu found herself in a bit of a predicament.

She was about to part with Lin Zhen, but she felt very sorry towards him, and she really didn't have anything else to give him.

Lin Zhen managed a forced smile, walked slowly over to Bai Susu, and gently stroked her long hair, "Go, pursue your own path, just like you've used to, take our acquaintance as a dream."

Having said that, Lin Zhen waved at Bai Susu, "Goodbye, Xiaogua that used to be mine alone."

Stepping on the stream of light, Lin Zhen headed deep into the starry sky.

Behind him, Bai Susu's eyes blurred by tears, gritted her teeth, suddenly like she had made up her mind, gave chase like the wind.

Lin Zhen turned, the beauty that resembled a Flying Swallow plunging into the nest had already leaped into his arms, her hot lips fervently pressed against Lin Zhen's.

Naturally charming, bone-meltingly seductive, Bai Susu, this top quality vixen, was enough to drive any man mad.

Lin Zhen was taken aback, but then responded with a mutual passion.

After a moment, Bai Susu, her eyes misty, struggled to push Lin Zhen away.

"Lin Zhen, give me your Dimensional Universe code."

After Lin Zhen gave her the Dimensional Universe code, Bai Susu didn't add it but determinedly turned to leave, waving at Lin Zhen, "Goodbye my hero, If there's a next life, Su Su would like to accompany you forever!"

As she let her tears fall, Bai Susu gradually disappeared from sight.

Lin Zhen stood his ground, not pursuing, because he knew the door to Bai Susu's heart had been slightly opened.

She was the fiancée of the Heavenly Emperor of the Imperial Clan, possibly the highest-ranking woman in the Original World, to have come this far is already quite an achievement.

Bai Susu was a proud woman, with the affairs of Qingqiu Mountain unresolved, she probably won't have the mind to do anything else, nor could he possibly force her to stay by his side.

The future is long, Lin Zhen believed that there will be another day when they meet again.

Turned around, Lin Zhen headed towards Tianfang City.

There, more important matters were waiting for him.

When Lin Zhen returned to the arena, it was just about time for the virtual combat to begin.

This time, the virtual combat brought together all the gladiators from the three major arenas in Tianfang City.

The virtual environment was a mountain peak in the vast sea, where the seawater kept rising, easily devouring all people and offering no resistance.

The sea forced everyone to keep climbing towards the peak, and when the sea level stopped rising, the peak could only accommodate ten thousand people.

People had to keep fighting and climbing, and the remaining ten thousand would be the ones qualified for the Eye of the Storm.

Lin Zhen didn't even need to go back to his room in the White Tiger Hall, because as a gladiator, he could automatically enter the virtual battlefield through the intelligent system of the Dimensional Universe.

Upon arriving in Tianfang City, Lin Zhen checked the Dimensional Universe and saw a countdown to the beginning of the battle, which was less than an hour away.

Instead of returning to the White Tiger Hall arena, Lin Zhen found a small bar and had a drink on his own.

No sooner had he sat down than the Dimensional Universe sounded.

Lin Zhen was somewhat surprised, as there were very few people who knew that he was in the Endless Star Sea's Dimensional Universe. Could it be that Little Fox had added him as a friend?

Rushing to open the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen discovered that the person who added him was actually San Hu.

It wasn't surprising that San Hu knew Lin Zhen's gladiator profile and thereby his Dimensional Universe code.

Seeing that it was San Hu, Lin Zhen was somewhat disappointed and responded to the invitation.

"Lin Zhen, where have you been these days?" San Hu began with a domineering inquiry.

Lin Zhen snorted through his nostrils, "I am a gladiator, I show up when it's time to fight. The arena hasn't had a battle these days, I can go wherever I want, do I need to report to you?"

Lin Zhen's mood was also not good, Bai Susu had just left, and now this annoying guy popped up, and his tone was not polite at all.

San Hu heard Lin Zhen's tone and Lin Zhen could even see the veins twitching on San Hu's forehead.

"Lin Zhen, do not be too arrogant. Do you think you can defy the White Tiger Hall just because you are a Saint-Level Alchemist? Has San Xia Association or the Speed Dragon Cavalry extended an olive branch to you? I advise you to kill that idea. Apart from the White Tiger Hall, you cannot go anywhere else. Otherwise, I will not let you go!"

Lin Zhen sneered disdainfully. "What grandiose words! If your White Tiger Hall could really dominate in Tianfang City, you wouldn't need to resort to these small tricks. I can tell you now with certainty that where I want to go is none of your business. Once this virtual battle ends, we will have no more ties."

With that, Lin Zhen pointed to the emblem on his chest.

The two gold stars shining brightly on it, Lin Zhen was now a Two-star Warrior.

You could reach One Star warrior with a hundred points and become a Two-star warrior with a thousand points.

Lin Zhen had killed five Demon Clan members at the Spiritual Mind Stage and one at the God Realm Stage, earning him fifteen hundred points, enabling him to automatically advance to the Two-star warrior rank.

After becoming a star-rated warrior, Lin Zhen will no longer be sanctioned. San Hu and others who have said that Lin Zhen offends them and cannot do this or that will all become invalid.

Seeing that Lin Zhen had become a star-rated warrior, San Hu was somewhat flustered.

"You have actually become a star-rated warrior, and even a Two-star warrior, how did you do it?"

"You don't need to worry about that. In any case, from now on, you better understand that I will no longer be bound by the White Tiger Hall."

San Hu's face darkened, "Even if you have become a star-rated warrior, don't you want to go to the Eye of the Storm? If you agree to sign a contract with me, I can assure you will pass this virtual world battle. If you don't agree, you will certainly be eliminated from this virtual battle and lose this opportunity. You won't be able to sign up again for the Eye of the Storm."

Lin Zhen clenched his fist, "Stop talking nonsense. The opportunity is always in my own hands, not from your babbling. Get lost!"

With that, Lin Zhen directly shut down the Dimensional Universe.

Picking up the mug from the table and draining it in one gulp, Lin Zhen checked into an inn and patiently awaited the start of the virtual battlefield.

As the screen darkened and Lin Zhen disappeared, San Hu smashed the table in front of him with a punch in anger.

"Damn it! Disrespectful when given respect, does he really think he can despise our White Tiger Hall because he's a Saint-Level Alchemist?"

After pacing around the room like an angry lion, San Hu resolutely issued an order.

"Notify all gladiators under the White Tiger Hall that the primary task in the virtual battlefield is to kill Lin Zhen. Whoever can eliminate Lin Zhen will receive ten million and the White Tiger Hall's assistance in upgrading to a Five-Star Warrior!"

The command was quickly relayed, and the gladiators who received the message were all excited.

Ten million and a five-star warrior, these were things that drove people crazy. The White Tiger Hall was really making a big play.

Of the hundreds of thousands in the virtual battlefield, one-third were from the White Tiger Hall. It seems that Lin Zhen would be in trouble this time.

With the countdown to the virtual battlefield ending, the battle begins!

Chapter 850: Chapter 853 Kressman_1

In a flash of light, Lin Zhen, who was just on the bed at the inn a moment ago, had arrived in another world.

Underfoot was a soft sandy beach, silver waves crashing onto it, stirring up white froth.

Gazing far into the distance, there lay a vast azure ocean, extending to the ends of his sight.

Several seagulls flew across the distant sky, emitting crisp cries, yet they seemed so utterly unattainable.

Lin Zhen could clearly feel that he was a very long distance from those birds, so far away that he could not reach them because this virtual space prohibited flying and teleportation, to prevent any potential cheating.

Every person had to rely on their own abilities to ascend the towering mountain behind them.

...

The beach formed an expansive area, increasingly elevating towards the mountain peak.

Other competitors had also appeared in the far distance.

Upon entering the virtual space, Lin Zhen received a prompt from the Dimensional Universe.

"All contestants, please note that the virtual battlefield has officially begun. All of you are currently located on a beach on the outskirts of an island. The beach will experience high tide once every hour, rising by a thousand meters each time. After seventy-two high tides, the seawater will surge to the mountaintop."

"Only a maximum of ten thousand people will be able to fit atop the mountaintop. After seventy-two high tides, the virtual battlefield will conclude. By then, all those who survived will qualify for the Eye of the Storm."

"This area prohibits flying or teleportation within the virtual battlefield. People submerged by the sea will be eliminated. Aside from this, there are no other constraints. Good luck to all of you!"

After the prompt ended, Lin Zhen looked back at the towering mountain peak.

The height of this mountain far exceeded that of Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth.

Climbing Mount Everest was by no means simple, even for martial artists with great vitality. Based on the system's prompt, the height of this mountain should be more than 72,000 meters. It was impossible to ascend in a short time.

Moreover, they still needed to fight along the way. It could be said that every person here was an enemy.

"With each tide rising by a thousand meters, it means that I must ascend to a height above a thousand meters within an hour to be safe. This task isn't easy, I need to set off quickly."

Lin Zhen turned around to start moving towards the mountain peak.

Each step was uphill, making the journey far from effortless.

The whole island formed a giant circle, and everyone was heading towards the center. They were bound to bump into each other sooner or later.

Lin Zhen soon met his first opponent.

From a distance, it seemed all the people here could be divided into three types of clothing.

Like Lin Zhen, who was a martial artist of the White Tiger Hall, had a white tiger symbol on his chest.

The person coming towards him had a symbol of three swords on him, likely a Gladiator from the San Xia Association.

As for the other organization, the Speed Dragon Cavalry, their symbol should be a running earth dragon.

The warrior with the three swords symbol on his chest was at the Three Flowers Peak Stage. When he saw Lin Zhen appear, a smile formed on his face.

"Hehe, when I was on my way here, I wondered what kind of opponent I would meet first. In my heart, I hoped it would be a person at the Spiritual Mind Stage because that's the kind of challenge that suits me. Your strength is rather… insignificant."

Then, the warrior put his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Zhen nonchalantly: "On the boxing stage, I usually give my opponents a chance to attack me first. Go ahead, I give you three opportunities."

Walking up with a smile, Lin Zhen simultaneously raised his hand, summoning the Emperor's Sword: "Then, I won't be polite."

"No need for politeness, I don't need it."

With his expression unchanged, Lin Zhen raised his hand and struck with his sword!

Body, strike, movement, all these actions connected together and took only a thousandth of a second!

If it weren't for the high-speed cameras that could play back at over a hundred times slower, one could not even see the movement of Lin Zhen. It appeared Lin Zhen had not moved at all, and had just continued walking forward.

However, this warrior at the Three Flowers Stage was cleanly split into two about dozens of meters walk after Lin Zhen had passed by him!

Sliced in two with a single strike!

Only his wide-open eyes remained, and he still didn't know how he died even at the moment of his death.

Killing was as natural to Lin Zhen as breathing. There was nothing to be proud of in dispatching such an opponent. Unbeknownst to him, his growth had already reached an astonishing level.

After a few steps, Lin Zhen ran into another person.

This opponent had the emblem of the White Tiger on his chest, standing not far from him, one foot lifted in the air but hesitating to land, as if setting this foot down would alert Lin Zhen and instigate his attack.

Even Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. Because he had seen this Martial Artist before – he was the one assigned by San Hu to fight repeatedly with him in several dozen matches.

This guy was really funny. The moment he stepped onto the stage, he would surrender or forfeit, not giving Lin Zhen the slightest chance to strike at any point in several dozen matches. He was indeed quite in tune with the times.

But at this moment, the kid's mouth was wide open, as if he could stuff an egg into it, staring at Lin Zhen with a shocked expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Zhen didn't intend to attack him immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "The world is indeed small. How is it? This time surrendering or forfeiting won't work, right?"

The martial artist's face showed a troubled expression. The foot he had held in the air was eventually lowered, and he slumped down, falling onto his butt on the sand: "Ah! My bad luck!"

Lin Zhen was genuinely amused by this fellow's reaction. His initial intention to eliminate everyone he encountered had somewhat faded. Looking down from above, he said, "It can't be considered bad luck. At least we are old acquaintances. If you can give me a reason not to eliminate you, maybe I will spare you."

Immediately, the martial artist's eyes lit up, and a fawning smile appeared on his face: "Will your words hold?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's guarantee, the man seemed to become lively all at once, bouncing off his butt as if there was a spring underneath, and comfortably ran beside Lin Zhen: "Boss Lin Zhen, I have some insider information."

"Let's hear it." Lin Zhen actually enjoyed dealing with people like this. Being able to read the situation was indeed a virtue.

"Here's the deal, right before we came in, San Hu delivered a message to all of us gladiators. He has asked everyone from White Tiger Hall to kill you. Anyone who can eliminate you will receive ten million, and he will help them elevate their rank to a Five Star Warrior."

Lin Zhen calculated the time. It must be after he rejected San Hu that he sent out this message.

"He's really willing to invest big money. So what do you think? Seeing me as a shining gold target, didn't you think of making a move?"

While Lin Zhen spoke, his gaze fixed on the man's eyes. With Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power, he could even see through the fluctuations in this person's soul. If he wanted to lie or deceive, he definitely wouldn't be able to deceive Lin Zhen.

But this warrior simply nodded straightforwardly: "At the start, when I saw you encounter a gladiator from the San Xia Association, I did consider it. I thought if you were roughly equal in your battle, I would take the opportunity to sneak an attack. But now, I've completely given up. Boss, your strength is too great. For someone like me, I wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth. Maybe the top gladiators stand a chance, but I think I'll save it."

This man had an open and honest demeanor, and his soul did not fluctuate much, proving that he hadn't lied.

Lin Zhen nodded in satisfaction: "What's your name?"

"Boss, my name is Kressman."

"Good, then you tell me, how strong are the top gladiators here?" Lin Zhen asked.

Kressman was quite perceptive. He felt that Lin Zhen's intention to kill had faded, so he gathered courage, and began: "Boss, you haven't encountered any strong opponents in the arena. In fact, there are quite a few strong ones in the arena, but it mainly depends on the star rating. Among the three major gladiator arenas, the main strong warriors are Five Star Warriors. Those who can reach Four Star and Five Star ranks are basically those at the God Realm Stage."

"Oh! So there are no Six-Star or Seven-Star warriors in the arena?"

"There basically won't be. Those who can reach Six-Star or Seven-Star are usually at the Divine Stone Realm. There are few Divine Stone Realm individuals who mix in the gladiator arena. They usually go to the deep areas of the Endless Battlefield to train. Six-Star wants to upgrade to Seven-Star, and Seven-Star wants to enter the Hall of Fame. Only by entering the Hall of Fame can a warrior earn the highest badge under Deity."

Lin Zhen nodded to show his understanding. He had heard about the deeds of the Hall of Fame long ago. Among the group of Martial Artists who have not become gods, the Hall of Fame does indeed represent the strongest.

The minimum entry criterion for the Hall of Fame is Seven-Star, and it requires a huge amount of points, not something that can be achieved by luck. It has to be earned through countless years of battles and fights.

Kressman continued: "Just take our White Tiger Hall for example. The strongest warrior is just a Five Star Warrior named Fu Qingfeng. You must be careful with this person, Boss, because it's claimed that he has declared his intention to eliminate you."

Lin Zhen frowned slightly: "He is already a Five-Star warrior. What use is there in eliminating me?"

"Because San Hu said, if you're eliminated by a Five Star Warrior, White Tiger Hall will provide a reward of ten times the original amount, close to one hundred million, and also assist in upgrading to Six Star."

Kressman spoke earnestly, "Boss, you must be very careful. Not only is Fu Qingfeng very strong, but he also has four Four Star Warriors under his command who are all strong warriors in the God Realm Stage. Moreover, almost no one dares to defy this man. Even San Hu doesn't dare to offend Fu Qingfeng."

"Why?"

"Because of his teacher. Fu Qingfeng's teacher is a high-ranking warrior in the Hall of Fame. His name is Xiao Cangsheng, a formidable Demigod Strong. Who would dare to offend him?"

Lin Zhen didn't care much. So what if they are in the Hall of Fame or a Demigod? Those were far away from him, and they couldn't possibly fly into the virtual battlefield to eliminate him.

Furthermore, just a while ago, he had even taken away the virgin kisses of the fiancee of the Imperial Clan Grand Emperor, Jue Tian. How could he care about a Demigod?

If you talk about being daring, Lin Zhen didn't mean to target anyone, but every single one in the Original World was insignificant.

After Kressman had briefly explained all the relevant information, he chuckled and said, "Boss Lin Zhen, can I now go?"

To his surprise, Lin Zhen suddenly refused, "No, you follow me. I've been in a bad mood these days and I don't feel like arguing with others. If someone offends me along the way, I will deal with the action, and you deal with the tongue-lashing. If you can't do this, I am going to eliminate you."

At once, the expression on Kressman's face turned bitter.

Chapter 851: Chapter 854: Domineering Advance!_1

It must be said, Kressman's way of handling things was to Lin Zhen's taste.

Kressman seemed to read Lin Zhen's mind, which was to challenge the White Tiger Hall.

Since there was no other choice at the moment, Kressman decided to be thorough, surprisingly, he pulled out a large blank cloth from the Space Ring, then took out a twenty-meter-long tree trunk, tied the cloth to the top of the trunk, and made a large flag.

He picked up a giant brush and briskly wrote the words "Lin Zhen of White Tiger Hall" in bold, blood-red letters.

Hoisting the trunk onto his shoulder and giving it a shake in the air, the sea breeze blew, and the flag fluttered majestically against the wind.

After running around in circles on the beach, Kressman asked Lin Zhen, "Boss, what do you think of my flag? Is it cool enough? Is the pole a little short?"

...

Lin Zhen looked up. The weight of the flag and the pole combined could be somewhere around seven to eight hundred pounds. Only in the hands of a Martial Artist it would feel as light as a feather. An ordinary person can't even lift it.

From a distance, it can probably be seen within dozens of miles.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, "It needs a little something else."

With that, Lin Zhen lifted his hand, and a stream of starlight sprayed from his fingertips, drawing on the letters. Immediately, the letters glowed a bright red, dazzling to the eyes.

Kressman gaped for a moment before giving Lin Zhen a thumbs up, "Boss, that was awesome. Not only do you have superb control over elements, but also enough to attract attention. Now, no one could possibly miss me."

Lin Zhen looked at it another time, he raised his hand and attached golden element

A golden light enveloped the pole. Once infusing it with metal power, the weight of the pole multiplied several times and the fragile wood transformed into a long metal rod comparable to a spiritual treasure.

"How about it? Do you feel the pressure of holding this flag?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Boss, you're just underestimating me!" Kressman said defiantly. "I've taken up this flag. I won't bring you disgrace. Let's be honest, as long as you don't get knocked down by others, I won't back down. But, if you… then, I would run as far as I could."

Lin Zhen laughed, "Don't worry, if I do get knocked down, you won't be able to run."

Upon saying that, Lin Zhen waved his hand, "Let's go, we should move forward before high tide."

"Let's go!"

Kressman waved the big flag in his hand, fluttering in the wind, leading the way.

They had barely taken ten steps when several figures quickly approached from afar.

"There's Lin Zhen!"

"Damn it! This kid is too cocky, right? He's parading around with such a huge flag, not giving us in White Tiger Hall any respect."

"Provocation! Is he challenging our Speed Dragon Cavalry? This bastard is seeking his death!"

All sorts came, White Tiger Hall naturally came to kill Lin Zhen, San Xia Association and Speed Dragon Cavalry, saw it as a provocation from White Tiger Hall.

First to arrive were two gladiators from White Tiger Hall.

These two were lucky and knew each other. After they met here they teamed up immediately, and had already killed several opponents. Seeing Lin Zhen's name from a distance, they rushed over.

When they arrived here, they glanced at Kressman who was holding the flag without any interest and rushed towards Lin Zhen.

Both of them were in the Spiritual Mind Stage, holding swords in their hands, approaching Lin Zhen with sinister smiles. "Heh heh! Lin Zhen, you are really asking for death, afraid that the people of White Tiger Hall can't find you? Since you are so eager to die, then we'll gladly accept your kindness."

Lin Zhen held Emperor's Divine Sword, not saying a word.

It wasn't that he couldn't speak, but rather that he didn't need to.

Kressman spat out, "Li Xing, Zhang Bao, are you pieces of garbage daring to act cocky in front of my boss? Are you worthy?"

Li Xing and Zhang Bao turned to Kressman, "Rubbish, you're also allowed to speak?"

"What rubbish? You two are the real rubbish. You're just nothing but two dogs under Fu Qingfeng's command. Oh, I'm wrong. You're not even dogs. Only Qingfeng Four are Fu Qingfeng's dogs. You two are subordinates to the Qingfeng Four, nothing more than a couple of puppies, and you're the type that can't get milk. Ha ha ha! You two stray dogs that even your masters don't care about, daring to bare fangs in front of my boss; to be honest, living for more than 30,000 years, I've never seen such shameless people like you!"

Li Xing and Zhang Bao were fuming. Kressman had always been a rogue in the arena, immediately admitting defeat when meeting a strong opponent, and bullying the weak fiercely. Unexpectedly, this bastard found a backer and started to show off in front of them.

Look at your backer, is he really that strong?

"Okay, okay, okay! Kressman, you piece of garbage! I will eliminate you first!"

Furious, they abandoned Lin Zhen and turned to attack Kressman.

Kressman was just at the Three Flowers Stage and naturally couldn't fight two Spiritual Mind opponents. Seeing the enemy rush over, he shouted in panic, "Boss, save me!"

"Da da da da da da~~~~!!!"

Suddenly, a gun volley shot erupted into thousands of brilliant lights, instantly enveloping the two enemies.

Zhang Bao was somewhat behind and was immediately shot full of holes by the unexpected bullet storm, directly out!

With Zhang Bao having blocked most of the bullet storm, Li Xing miraculously survived. But both his legs were broken and he stumbled a few steps, falling directly in front of Kressman.

Kressman's eyes lit up. He had come to the virtual battlefield expecting to be a mere spectator, even thinking he might be eliminated in the first round, but unexpectedly, he got a chance to eliminate others.

Relishing the release of his repressed emotions, he swung the flag in his hand, sweeping the pointed end of the pole across Li Xing's throat!

The flag, reinforced by Lin Zhen's gold aura, was incredibly sturdy and sharp. With a flash, Li Xing's head was sent flying!

Kressman kicked Li Xing's body aside and laughed heartily, "Boss, this is unbelievably exhilarating!"

Lin Zhen gave a small smile, "Enjoying it? Then keep going. It's not flaunting we're afraid of, it's not being notorious enough. It's best if everyone knows I'm here, only better if the outside virtual battlefield gets the message."

Kressman's eyes lit up: "Boss, I don't know why you're doing this, but I know you must have a reason and it's an amazing idea!"

Kressman, brimming with excitement, spotted another person rushing over from a distance. He cried out, "Boss, two o'clock on your right, there's a youngster from the Speed Dragon Cavalry."

"Roger that!"

Without moving, Lin Zhen fired a salvo of Kirin Guns in that direction!

The incredible speed of light made evasive actions impossible for those not in the God Transformation Realm. Even for those in the Spiritual Mind Stage, it was extremely difficult. On his sprinting journey, the martial artist was pierced through the brain by a ray of light, and fell flat on the street!

"Boss, someone's catching up from behind!"

Lin Zhen didn't even turn his head, just launched a Mental Shock behind him!

The martial artist from behind had his pupils dilated instantly, his brain turned into mush by the diamond-level Spiritual Power!

"Boss, watch out, a team of four has blocked our path ahead."

Lin Zhen passed by Kressman like a streak of lightning. The Emperor's Divine Swords were drawn simultaneously.

God Burial~!!!

The four Spiritual Mind Stage fighters were put on the defensive against Lin Zhen's rapid attacks.

Cling cling cling cling~~!!!

After a flurry of weapon clashes, Lin Zhen sheathed his swords and advanced, the four gladiators all stumbled backwards in disbelief, each collapsing on the ground and vomiting blood.

"There's one more above you!"

A martial artist, utilizing the cover of rocks to close in on Lin Zhen, leaped down from above, but was instantly discovered by Kressman.

This time, Lin Zhen didn't even move, he simply cast his Heart Sword into the air, forming an invisible sword net.

Following a dull 'humming' sound, the Spiritual Mind Stage martial artist was directly torn apart in mid-air, scattering into pieces of flesh.

Blood showered down from the sky. Kressman, waving his bloody flag in the wind, caused the bright red words 'White Tiger Hall Lin Zhen' to glow even more luminously, capturing everyone's attention.

A group of unsuspecting martial artists were still rushing over, one after another from the distance.

Lin Zhen, with swords in hand, maintained an unmoved expression as rigid as steel.

To be honest, Lin Zhen didn't want to engage in such ostentatious slaughter, but if he wanted fame, this virtual battlefield was the first step.

Only when his name, Lin Zhen, was recognized and known by more people, would his sons, Lin Ping and Lin An, stand a better chance of seeing him, and possibly contacting him.

Once committed, he would see it through to the end!

His silhouette flashed and darted forward, and the Senluo Sword Skill was summoned!

Once again, a few gladiators fell under Lin Zhen's sword.

"No, we can't hold on, this kid is too fierce."

"I'm out, to take down Lin Zhen, we need someone at least in the God Realm Stage. No matter how many of us prawns go, we're risking death."

"Don't abandon us, we can take him together. He's only in the Three Flowers Realm, how many nails could he possibly drive even if he were made of iron?"

More than thirty gladiators had gathered up front, each wielding their weapon, forming a semi-circular formation around Lin Zhen and Kressman.

Lin Zhen advanced, his swords still dripping with blood. For every step he took, the crowd collectively moved back in confusion.

Behind Lin Zhen, Kressman stood rigid, brandishing his bloody flag, looking down on these gladiators with a contemptuous gaze.

Seeing these once-untouchable gladiators now collectively retreating like a flock of sheep, Kressman felt an immense rush of satisfaction.

Although there were insinuations of gaining might from another's prestige, Kressman had never felt such a sense of awe in his life.

Being a flag-waving foot soldier, he felt extremely comfortable!

…

The virtual battlefield had countless watchers, initially, most people were focusing on the high-star gladiators.

But gradually, people noticed that the broadcasts from various places were slowly turning their attention to another individual.

A gladiator from the White Tiger Hall entered Tianfang City residents' field of vision for the first time.

Chapter 852: Chapter 855: First Kill! _1

"Extra! Extra! Lin Zhen, Baihu Hall's two-star gladiator, is wreaking havoc in the virtual battlefield, raising high the flag to challenge everyone!"

"Fresh off the grill comes history's most arrogant gladiator, the most arrogant ever, without a doubt! Attention! There's none more arrogant!"

"Click the link to access the battle video, Lin Zhen's invisible sword insta-kills divine sense expert, impossible to guard against."

"Live broadcast, Lin Zhen steps up the pressure, hundreds of gladiators are retreating by the round, recharge hundred yuan to enjoy VIP honor!"

"The biggest suspense in the virtual battlefield has been born, who will be the terminator of the Baihu Hall martial artist Lin Zhen, cash-prize prediction starts now."

Article after article filled with exaggerated language, conjuring up eye-catching video titles.

...

And Lin Zhen's name was trending for the first time in Tianfang City.

Tianfang City's residents, who never knew who Lin Zhen was, began to click on videos to watch his combat footage.

But once they watched, the controversy arose.

Many rational martial artists believed Lin Zhen was courting death. A Three Flowers Stage martial artist, no matter how exceptional the talent or extraordinary the prowess, there has to be a limit.

You can insta-kill Three Flowers and defeat Divine Sense, but isn't that the end? What about when you meet a genius at the same Divine Sense Stage?

What about when you encounter an expert at the God Realm Stage?

What about a genius at the God Realm Stage?

Source: , updated on 𝑛𝗈𝘃𝘨𝗼.co

Surely you wouldn't even know how you died.

Immediately, people voiced their opinions. If they were Lin Zhen, with this strength, they would keep a low profile and quietly make a fortune. It might even be possible to make it into the top ten thousand. But like this, once exposed to public scrutiny, he will undoubtedly be eliminated.

Because Lin Zhen's behavior of eliminating everyone he meets is too arrogant. Everyone in the virtual battlefield is very cautious. Who raises their flag like he does? Ordinary martial artists lack the strength to eliminate him, but the top gladiators of the three major arenas will certainly not let him go.

If Lin Zhen were allowed to keep that arrogant streak until he reached the mountain peak, where would the other gladiators put their faces?

This kind of opinion occupies the majority, but there are also differing opinions.

Quite a few martial artists support Lin Zhen.

They believe that once a martial artist reaches a certain level in their training, if they hesitate and act cautiously, they will never achieve greatness, their potential will be limited.

Pursuing one's heart is not easy, because martial artists are also human. They have concerns and cannot fully let go.

Obviously, in their eyes, although Lin Zhen's strength is not enough to dominate the virtual battlefield, he dares to do so. This is very rare. So, there are quite a few people who support Lin Zhen.

Some are purely attracted by Lin Zhen's cool and gallant behavior. They admire him for doing things many people want yet dare not do and become fervent fans of Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, for your actions today, even if you get eliminated, I'll always bet on you to win in the gladiator ring!"

Many more people are silently watching, wanting to see how far Lin Zhen can go.

In their view, if Lin Zhen succeeds, he will surely become highly popular; if he is eliminated, he will just be a fool.

Winner takes all, loser is relegated to servitude. This overarching truth cannot be overturned.

As time passed, the first high tide on the island was about to arrive.

Although it's a virtual environment's tide, it's much more terrifying than real tides.

The massive waves can't be described as overwhelming; it's more like the world is falling apart!

A gust of wind blew in from the sea, and a wave a kilometer high roared between heaven and earth.

The turbulent waves completely obstructed the view, like a swiftly advancing mountain, instantly flooded the beach and started advancing towards the foot of the mountain.

Lin Zhen glanced at the quickly approaching wave and said to Kressman beside him, "Go, let's break through!"

At this point, Kressman had no doubts about Lin Zhen. Although there were still more than thirty martial artists blocking their way, he believed Lin Zhen could defeat them.

Raising the flag in his hand, the two of them rushed forward.

"Stop him! Don't let him get through!"

"As long as we guard this line, he will be swallowed by the tide. Everyone might get a reward then."

Being a gladiator means being brave and aggressive. These people who were blocking Lin Zhen's path planned to trap Lin Zhen under the tide.

Lin Zhen flicked his hand, the twin swords changed into Landis's spear, and he launched the Constant Star Fall strike!

In front of the wave, the huge Constant Star rapidly rushed forward with a rumble.

"There's nothing great about it, everyone strike together, and blast it back!"

Dozens of people acted together to confront Lin Zhen's strike.

Rumble~~~!!!

A huge fireball blossomed above the island.

The Constant Star exploded!

Like the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the entire mountain seemed to shake, and a mushroom cloud rose at the point of contact in the distance.

The massive heat wave formed by the explosion swept everything, creating a vacuum within a hundred-meter radius.

"Move!"

Lin Zhen's body became a streak of light, quickly running up the mountain, Kressman's escape speed was also quick. For now, he didn't have the time to be astonished by the destructive force of Lin Zhen's move, so he followed closely, holding his flag up high.

They passed over the area where the mushroom cloud had risen, without any hindrance, the road was clear all the way.

Splash~~!!

The tidal wave came crashing, the silvery beach and buffer zone below vanished, the sea level rose by a thousand meters.

Everything below sea level disappeared at that moment, only the endless seawater was left, gradually calming down.

Kressman stopped, looked back at the seawater and then looked at Lin Zhen as if he was a monster.

But Lin Zhen seemed unaffected, sheathed his spear and walked slowly forward: "Let's go, this is just an appetizer. More formidable enemies are sure to block my path ahead. I still have fights to fight."

In everyone's Dimensional Universe, they could see the general situation of this virtual battlefield, such as the remaining number of people.

In addition to the remaining number, there was also a Kill Ranking, recording the person who killed the most opponents.

The number of people who entered the virtual battlefield was 500,000, and after the first round of fighting, about 30,000 people were eliminated. But when the first tidal wave hit, many people were unprepared, and 70,000 to 80,000 people were swallowed by the wave.

Now, there were only 370,000 people left on the whole battlefield.

Many of them had already climbed to heights close to 2,000 meters, forming the first group.

The first group had so many people, and they were all pursuing speed at this time, so the chances of encountering each other were great, and fights often broke out between them.

Just before Lin Zhen launched the Starburst, the first person on the Kill Ranking was Fu Qingfeng from the White Tiger Hall.

On the steep mountain wall, a swordsman with a sword on his back was advancing rapidly. This was Fu Qingfeng from the White Tiger Hall, the apprentice of the Hall of Fame strong Xiao Cangsheng, now the ace gladiator of the White Tiger Hall's arena.

He turned his head back and could even see the tidal wave about to hit from below.

A gaunt martial artist was rapidly climbing up the mountain like a monkey on his left side.

Fu Qingfeng, whose name sounds rather poetic, was extremely cruel and cold-blooded. He held a vine on the mountain wall and swung towards the martial artist.

When this martial artist from the Speed Dragon Cavalry saw Fu Qingfeng attack, he exclaimed in terror: "Fu Qingfeng, can't we coexist peacefully and go forward together?"

"Sorry about that, I don't like being disturbed."

Clang~~!!

With a flash of sword light, the thin martial artist fell, his head rolling on the ground, and was eliminated.

"That's the twenty-eighth one, my first place on the Kill Ranking is now a lot more secure. This time, not only do I want to advance to the eye of the storm, but I also want to do so strongly. Nobody can surpass me, or I would tarnish the reputation of my master, the Hall of Fame strong."

The first wave hit below, Fu Qingfeng also let out a small sigh of relief and took a rest for a while, looking somewhat pleased as he glanced at the Kill Ranking.

"Huh… What?!"

His pupils dilated suddenly because he saw Lin Zhen, who had previously been almost neck and neck with him in rankings, suddenly jump to the first place, with a total kill count reaching sixty-two!

"Lin Zhen… This guy must have been below, taking advantage of the opportunity when those rookies were surrounding him to start a massacre."

"Damn it, he actually dared to surpass me. No, I absolutely will not allow this to happen."

Fu Qingfeng stopped and waited in place for a while, a robust gladiator climbed up.

"Boss, why did you stop? You should know that Chen Yuan from the San Xia Association and Xi Erman from the Speed Dragon Cavalry will not stop."

"I was waiting for you." Fu Qingfeng looked at this martial artist. He was his right-hand man, one of the Four Winds, Bai Yunfei.

"What does the boss want?"

"You don't have to climb any further, go back down and take care of somebody for me."

"Who?"

"You should be familiar with him, Lin Zhen, the one San Hu informed us about."

Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at the Kill Ranking, and immediately understood Fu Qingfeng's intentions.

"Boss, I can take care of Lin Zhen no problem, but I'm afraid this will delay the progress of climbing. If I can't get into the top ten thousand…."

Fu Qingfeng said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about that. You'll definitely get a place in the top ten thousand. I will continue to climb at this speed. After reaching the top, I can let anyone who comes up fall at any time. As long as I want, the number of people at the top will never reach ten thousand."

Upon hearing Fu Qingfeng's assurance, Bai Yunfei was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss! I'll go back right away. For this upstart clown, Lin Zhen, I will show him what the power of the God Realm Stage is like."

"Go quickly and come back quickly. If you encounter any of the other three people, you can join forces with them. Lin Zhen is probably not that easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, boss. No matter how difficult he is to deal with, he's just a Three Flowers. Can he overturn the heavens?"

Bai Yunfei answered carelessly, turned around, and jumped down.

A leap of tens of meters, landed on a protruding rock, then jumped onto another rock, and soon he was down.

After giving his orders, Fu Qingfeng turned around and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.

"I must get to the first place, I must succeed. I am a future member of the Endless Battlefield Hall of Fame. How can I be surpassed by some upstart kid? Nobody is allowed to do so!"

Chapter 853: Chapter 856: Tearing Alive_1

On a gentle slope among the mountains, a group from the White Tiger Hall was gathering.

The leader, a robust martial artist, held a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, his Star Power surging around him. He was Bai Yunfei.

Beside Bai Yunfei, six or seven gladiators at the Peak of Spiritual Mind were clustered together.

"Brother Bai, what's so special about this Lin Zhen? Is he worth all this fuss?"

"Heard he's from the New World. Seems like he's made quite a stir on the ground these past years, looks pretty powerful."

"All that is not the point. The key is this kid appears to be a Saint-level Alchemist. San Hu wants to recruit him. If he claims one of the top ten thousand spots, it's a big deal."

...

As they chatted amongst themselves, in the distance a huge blood-red flag was seen moving in their direction.

They were staring at the flag, waiting for Lin Zhen to arrive.

Before Lin Zhen arrived, a man with a sword came up.

The man was clothed in black, appearing like a ghost, his presence seemed to significantly drop the temperature.

"San Xia Association's Ace Gladiator Chen Yuan!"

The faces of Bai Yunfei and the others turned grim instantly.

Among the three big gangs in Tianfang City, San Xia Association ranked first and its gladiators also topped the list.

Source: , updated on 𝕟𝗈𝘷𝕘𝗼.co

Chen Yuan was the Ace of San Xia Association's gladiators. Despite being a Five-Star Warrior, he had a record of defeating a Six-Star Warrior.

That Six-Star Warrior was a martial artist who had undergone a Divine Stone Transformation!

Although Fu Qingfeng was the Ace Gladiator of the White Tiger Hall, compared to Chen Yuan, Fu Qingfeng fell short.

Being Fu Qingfeng's subordinate, Bai Yunfei of course saw Chen Yuan as a formidable enemy. Seeing him walk over, Bai Yunfei didn't dare to make a sound or any rash actions, hoping that Chen Yuan was just passing by.

However, contrary to their wishes, Chen Yuan stops and sits near a large rock, retrieving a pack of cigarettes from his bosom.

Cigarettes were not exclusive to Earth, they also existed in the Original World.

This cigarette called "Divine Woman," was popular in the Endless Battlefield. It featured an image of the Qingqiu Mountain Emperor's wife.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the White Tiger warriors remained silent.

Half a while later, seeing that Lin Zhen was about to arrive, Bai Yunfei finally couldn't hold back, "Chen Yuan, sir, we don't mean to offend you. We are here only to handle an internal issue of the White Tiger Hall. We hope you won't intervene."

Chen Yuan took a hefty puff on his cigarette, blowing out a ring of smoke that floated several meters ahead without dissolving.

"You don't need to tell me about your affairs. I don't need to tell you what I want to do. Neither should you think you can control me."

Bai Yunfei was left speechless, not daring to say anything more. He could only wait for Lin Zhen to arrive.

The blood-red flag appeared in their view. Kressman and Lin Zhen had arrived.

Seeing Bai Yunfei and others, Kressman stopped and said seriously, "Boss, we might be in a little trouble. This is Bai Yunfei, one of Fu Qingfeng's four War Generals and a God Realm Stage master. The others are also at the Peak of the Spiritual Mind Stage, all are well-known figures in the gladiator's world."

"No matter who he is, since he dares to obstruct, he must be prepared to be eliminated."

As Lin Zhen was preparing to go into battle, Chen Yuan suddenly stood up and came to Lin Zhen's side.

"You are from the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake?" Chen Yuan asked.

Lin Zhen was slightly stunned. The man before him was a martial artist in the Late Stage of the God World Transformation, his Star Power flooding out of him, standing like a giant mountain, clearly a super expert.

Lin Zhen nodded, "Yes."

"Great, after so long, I finally meet someone from Falling Star Lake again. I also graduated from the Heaven class of Falling Star Lake. I have been in Tianfang City for 120,000 years now. How is my fifth senior apprentice brother doing?"

Hearing Chen Yuan was also a Heaven class warrior from Falling Star Lake, Lin Zhen instantly felt a sense of kinship.

"Five senior apprentice brother is doing well and he treats me nicely."

Chen Yuan nodded, "I thought as much. With your potential and talent, you are definitely someone who would catch the fifth senior brother's eye. In that case, let's walk and talk. Tell me more about the happenings at Falling Star Lake."

Having said this, Chen Yuan led Lin Zhen forward.

A faint voice entered Lin Zhen's ear, "Lin Zhen, I know you aren't afraid of these people, but you can't waste time on these unending harassments. The second tide will come soon. The fastest ones have already reached heights exceeding 3000 meters. If you don't start moving, you won't make the top ten thousand list."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen also felt alerted. He wanted to make a name for himself, but he absolutely couldn't risk being eliminated. Everything had to be based on successfully advancing to the next stage.

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your reminder. Let's get moving."

Lin Zhen waved at Kressman. Instantly, Kressman hoisted the flag and followed Lin Zhen, passing through the middle of the White Tiger Hall warriors.

Bai Yunfei and the others looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do.

Just as the figures of Lin Zhen and the others were about to disappear, Bai Yunfei could no longer contain himself, yelling from behind, "Lin Zhen, that's all the skills there are to you, huh? You can only survive under other's protection. If you don't have the abilities, you might as well smash that lousy flag of yours. Waving it only brings shame."

Lin Zhen halted, turning to Chen Yuan, "Brother Chen, excuse me for a minute."

Chen Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, "Little brother, sometimes it's unnecessary to quarrel over pride. Knowing when to give in and pursue is the rule of survival."

"Brother Chen, you're right. But I have my reasons."

Lin Zhen gave a brief explanation then turned and walked back.

Bai Yunfei was overjoyed to see Lin Zhen provoked to return. He waved at those around him: "Everyone move quickly, finish Lin Zhen off as fast as you can. Once we complete this task, we will disperse separately to prevent being caught by Chen Yuan."

The surrounding martial artists nodded, but before they could react, Lin Zhen on the other side suddenly accelerated, reaching Bai Yunfei's face in the blink of an eye.

"Some people narrowly escape death, yet insist others are afraid of them. This is what is known as seeking death!"

Armorization, Gold Attachment!

A strike tearing the space!

In the virtual battlefield, it is impossible to tear space, but this does not hinder the sharpness of Lin Zhen's strike!

His speed was too fast!

Too fast!

So fast that it was impossible to effectively dodge!

Bai Yunfei could only use his shield for defense!

Crack~~~!!!

Lin Zhen's hands shattered the shield, passing straight through it!

Bai Yunfei was petrified, unable to believe that Lin Zhen could do this. But by the time he wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

All he could do was use his battle axe in his right hand to strike at Lin Zhen!

The battle axe struck Lin Zhen's shoulder, sparks flying as metal collided. Bai Yunfei's divine battle axe only left a shallow mark on him!

Lin Zhen's face turned as cold as steel, and at this moment his hands harshly pierced into Bai Yunfei's chest.

He didn't have Lin Zhen's armorization skills, and his chest was pierced through with a single blow!

His chest cavity shattered; his inner organs turned into bloody pulp!

The powerful life force of Bai Yunfei's God World Transformation was displayed in full at this moment. He didn't instantly die, and he surprisingly still had the strength to grab Lin Zhen's hands!

"Lin Zhen! Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"

"You're dreaming!"

A mental shock hit Lin Zhen's mind directly, but it shattered like an egg hitting a stone.

"Let's die together!"

Bai Yunfei didn't expect Lin Zhen to have almost no weaknesses. After his mental shock failed, he knew he was finished, so he decided to self-destruct and try to take Lin Zhen down with him.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Lin Zhen's hands suddenly exerted force, one on each side!

Lin Zhen's body strength had now reached maturity equivalent to a Black Hole Beast, incredibly powerful. Bai Yunfei's body was like paper, torn into two pieces by Lin Zhen!

Blood splattered everywhere. Lin Zhen, with Bai Yunfei's torn body in each hand, fiercely threw them at a few of the other White Tiger Hall martial artists.

An artist who couldn't dodge in time was knocked a somersault. But once up, he backed away in horror, as if Lin Zhen was a demon.

Lin Zhen was able to rip apart Bai Yunfei, who was in the early stages of the God Realm, with a single move. For the rest of them in the Divine Sense Realm, it was safer to keep their distance.

Lin Zhen shook his hands, deactivated his armorization, and finally appeared like a normal person again.

The few martial artists from the White Tiger Hall breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed like Lin Zhen was done, so at least their lives were saved.

But just as they let down their guard, Lin Zhen's Heart Sword launched again!

Buzz~~!!

An invisible sword net completely enveloped these peak-level gladiators, and because they were unprepared, Lin Zhen's attack was successful effortlessly.

Spurt!!

These individuals who were lively moments ago, turned into ground meat in the blink of an eye.

After this was done, Lin Zhen turned and walked back to Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, sorry to have kept you waiting. I think now there will be a lot fewer people trying to stop me."

Chen Yuan looked at Lin Zhen as if he was a monster for a while, then breathed a long sigh of relief: "Little brother, it seems that my previous worries were unnecessary. Your strength is basically equivalent to a five-star warrior. On this virtual battlefield, there won't be more than five people qualified to be your opponent."

"I think there's none left now because Brother Chen is at my side. Who would dare to provoke the tiger?"

Chen Yuan burst out laughing: "Little brother Lin, with a talent like you, the rise of our Falling Star Lake Holy Land is not far off! In the future, I will rely on you."

The two laughed heartily, and Chen Yuan's attitude towards Lin Zhen subtly changed.

He initially came to help Lin Zhen, but now that he saw Lin Zhen's methods and style, his earlier disdain was thrown out of the window.

Although Lin Zhen's current strength might not be as strong as his, Lin Zhen was just in the Three Flowers stage. It perhaps wouldn't take long for him to surpass Chen, even now, in a life or death struggle, Chen didn't have the confidence to come out unscathed against Lin Zhen.

This was the first time he felt an unfathomable potential from a martial artist of a lower realm.

Chapter 854: Chapter 857: Titled as King_1

The incident of Lin Zhen tearing Bai Yunfei apart with his bare hands created quite a stir in Tianfang City.

Bai Yunfei used to be a well-known gladiator with many supporters who would show up to cheer for him during his battles in the arena.

Yet such a powerful martial practitioner at the God Realm Stage was brutally torn apart by Lin Zhen!

Such an event showed not only Lin Zhen's superior tactics but also the vast disparity in strength between the two.

It would take an ace gladiator to defeat Bai Yunfei so swiftly!

So it turned out that there was such a personage in the White Tiger Hall arena. Did that mean that Lin Zhen was as strong as a Five Star Warrior?

...

People started digging into Lin Zhen's past.

Ever since he entered the Original World, his actions were examined as if under a microscope.

These experiences allowed people to witness the rise of a genius.

There wasn't a word other than "genius" that could describe Lin Zhen's journey, and if there was a need for an adjective, it would be "genius amongst geniuses."

It would be one thing if Lin Zhen was only excellent in martial arts. But what truly amazed people was the fact that besides being a Three Flowers Stage martial practitioner, Lin Zhen was also a Saint-Level Alchemist!

Becoming a Saint-Level Alchemist was even more challenging than becoming a Three Flowers Warrior. People had a hard time imagining how Lin Zhen achieved both things in just over a thousand years, which seemed scientifically impossible.

However, the reality proved that this kid from the New World, Lin Zhen, had a freakishly powerful talent!

Source: , updated on 𝕟𝗈𝘷𝕘𝗼.co

As Lin Zhen's experiences were disclosed, his fan base grew. Many martial practitioners started to idolize him, seeing his potential as infinite and predicting his future ascension to a god.

The events of the following few days in the virtual battlefield further underscored Lin Zhen's capabilities.

While moving forward with Chen Yuan, several martial practitioners attracted by San Hu's rewards launched countless surprise attacks and assassination attempts on Lin Zhen.

However, these attacks had no effect. Time and again, Lin Zhen asserted his impressively powerful abilities, proving to be nearly invincible.

The next day, at the thirty-thousand-meter mark, Lin Zhen killed Yang Qingzhi, one of the four top warriors under Fu Qingfeng from the White Tiger Hall.

That same night, two other top warriors of Fu Qingfeng, along with a group of Speed Dragon Cavalry gladiators, launched a night attack against Lin Zhen.

Under Lin Zhen's request, Chen Yuan didn't interfere in the battle. Lin Zhen single-handedly fought three top martial practitioners of the God Realm Stage. The battle raged from midnight until dawn. Lin Zhen was wounded multiple times, but his incredibly swift recovery impressed everyone. He stood his ground despite being attack on all sides by his three powerful opponents.

In the final moment, Lin Zhen's duplicate appeared, and the odds shifted from three against one to two against three. The three top martial practitioners were caught off guard and suffered a great loss, resulting in two of them being killed on the spot.

The last member of the Speed Dragon Cavalry tried to escape but was blasted to death on the spot by a Kirin Cannon shot by Lin Zhen's duplicate.

After this battle, Lin Zhen's reputation echoed throughout Tianfang City.

You could be unfamiliar with everybody else, but you could not ignore the currently most renowned martial practitioner, Lin Zhen.

Although Tianfang City wasn't significant in the entire Endless Battlefield, the news about Lin Zhen gradually spread via the unlocked Dimensional Universe.

People in various parts of the Endless Battlefield occasionally logged into the Dimensional Universe and expressed surprise when seeing the Tianfang City forum, "Oh! It seems like a decent gladiator has emerged in Tianfang City."

On the third day of the virtual battlefield, a new situation arose.

San Hu's remarks had been spread around.

San Hu and Fu Qingfeng had reached the top of the island. At the top, San Hu publicly announced that he would wait for Lin Zhen's arrival and clean up the White Tiger Hall's reputation!

San Hu had previously sworn to deal with Lin Zhen, yet Lin had been ruthlessly massacring along the way, which was considered a severe slap in the face for the White Tiger Hall. San Hu could not swallow this humiliation.

However, he didn't dare to face Lin Zhen in single combat and had to turn to Fu Qingfeng.

Fu Qingfeng promised San Hu that he would teach Lin Zhen a lesson and remove him from the competition.

Besides those two waiting at the mountaintop, many martial practitioners from the White Tiger Hall were also converging at the summit, preparing to settle the score with Lin Zhen once and for all.

One could only assume that the final battle to clinch a spot in the last stage of the virtual battlefield would be anything but peaceful.

However, not many were in favor of the White Tiger Hall this time, as Lin Zhen had Chen Yuan at his side. As a representative of the San Xia Association's powerful influence, Chen Yuan might render all the strategies and plans of San Hu and Fu Qingfeng pointless if he decided to interfere at the last minute.

Therefore, most people believed that Lin Zhen would succeed in advancing to the Storm Eye even if he did nothing.

Lin Zhen, however, did not agree with this perspective.

His men, Chen Yuan and Kressman, were speeding towards the peak of the island.

It was already the deep of night on the third day, and there were less than three hours left until the end of the day.

Below the island, the rolling tides had already risen 69 times. By the time the 70th arrived, there would only be two hours left.

And they had also climbed to a height of over 71,000 metres, not far from the mountaintop.

Kressman walked in the darkness holding his flag. The darkness had no effect on martial artists of their level. Everyone was a Spiritual Mind Master, with the ability to see in the dark with their eyes.

Lin Zhen and Chen Yuan walked side by side behind him.

"Boss, right now, within the virtual battlefield, there are only over 13,000 gladiators remaining," Kressman reported loudly from the front.

"I know. Keep moving. Don't worry, we will definitely have a place within the final ten thousand. "

Kressman stopped talking, simply brandishing his flag and moving forward. Occasionally, silhouettes would flash by from the darkness, but no one dared to approach.

Lin Zhen still held the most kills, and at this point, not many dared to readily cross paths with him – death was not an inviting prospect.

At this point, Chen Yuan spoke to Lin Zhen: "Junior brother, advancing out of this round is definitely not an issue. If you give a word, the gladiators of our San Xia Association will surely go all in to help – I do not place the strength of the White Tiger Hall in my sights."

Lin Zhen flashed a smile: "Then I thank you, senior brother."

"Hey, why are you being so formal with me? We're all from the same holy land, all guided by our fifth senior brother, we should be helping one another. I'm telling you, once within the Endless Battlefield, the warriors from the various holy lands tend to stick together. If we, the people of Falling Star Lake, do not unite amongst ourselves, then we will surely be bullied in the future."

Lin Zhen nodded: "Senior brother speaks truth. But for this time, I wish senior brother to not involve himself. These White Tiger Hall people, I wish to deal with them myself."

"Surely you jest, junior brother! With others, I say nothing, but Fu Qingfeng is not so easily managed. Even I would have to work myself to deal with him, and I'm even more concerned that he would rope in Xi Erman from the Speed Dragon Cavalry. If the two of them choose to join forces, even if you add me into the mix, I fear we stand no chance."

"Oh! The Speed Dragon Cavalry could possibly join the fray?"

"That's right, Xi Erman is the top gladiator for the Speed Dragon Cavalry. I've crossed swords with him before, barely succeeding by a hair, and he suffered only minor injuries. He places profit above all else. If Fu Qingfeng and San Hu offer a high enough reward, he could truly enter the fray."

Lin Zhen slowly replied: "In that case, I wish for senior brother to detain the Speed Dragon Cavalry, prevent them from interfering. If senior brother can accomplish that, it would suffice."

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth: "No problem! My drill towards the battle will certainly restrict Xi Erman from making rash moves. When that happens, the pressure on you will be insufferable.",

Lin Zhen waved his hand dismissively: "It matters not, let's not talk about this anymore. Senior brother, talk to me about the situation outside."

"Well, then let's talk about what's outside. Actually, Tianfang City here is considered one of the ground clan's rear bases on the Endless Battlefield, True expert warriors generally do not venture to this fringe area. If it had not been for the loss of crucial personnel at Qingqiu Mountain some time ago, we would not have seen such a confluence of Endless Species."

"In the actual battlefield, warriors like me, Five Star Warriors, are nothing more than foot soldiers. Only Six Star Warriors can barely hold their own, while Seven Star Warriors form the main force. But the true dominators of the Endless Battlefield are members of the Hall of Fame from both the warring factions."

Lin Zhen looked at Chen Yuan: "I've heard about the Hall of Fame quite a few times now. So what exactly is this Hall of Fame?"

"The Hall of Fame is quite formidable, let me tell you that. The Hall of Fame is a list of the strongest warriors from each faction, second only to their deities. Both the ground clans and the Endless Species have their own top hundred warriors, who form the members of the Hall of Fame. These hundred individuals are invincible on the Endless Battlefield. Normally, whenever appearances of members from the Hall of Fame are reported in battlefield conditions, other combatants would typically retreat."

"So, how does one gain entrance into the Hall of Fame?" Lin Zhen had developed a longing for it.

"That's quite difficult. Usually a seat in the Hall of Fame is vacated only when someone ascends to godhood or dies. Only then do others have a chance to compete for it. Otherwise, one has to make a direct challenge, but directly challenging the Hall of Fame is largely considered as an impossible victory."

Lin Zhen expressed surprise: "Since they are beneath deities, then the strongest among your Hall of Fame should be demigods, right? Are you telling me that it's impossible to overcome a demigod?"

Chen Yuan dismissed the notion with a wave of his hand: "While demigods are indeed strong ones, let me tell you, junior brother, to become eligible to challenge the Hall of fame, one has to fulfill a precondition. Failing to fulfill this precondition, you wouldn't even have the eligibility to challenge."

"What condition?"

"Being crowned!"

"What does being crowned mean?" Lin asked, stumped.

An envious look appeared on Chen Yuan's face: "To get a title is to establish a reputation on the Endless Battlefield. Everyone gives you a title based on your characteristics, commonly known as a nickname, like Xiao Cangsheng, Fu Qingfeng's master. The title he received was Blood Hand King, so his full name in the Hall of Fame is Blood Hand King Xiao Cangsheng."

"How can one attain it?"

"There are two essential conditions: One, to become a Seven Star Warrior; Two, to singlehandedly kill a demigod. Fulfill these two conditions, build a significant reputation, and you will be well on your way to gaining a title. Junior brother, there are far too few people in the Hall of Fame, it's rare to even meet one on the Endless Battlefield. Gaining a crown is the symbol of strength and fame in the Battlefield. If you have ambitions of joining the Hall of Fame, then first aim to gain a crown!"

Chapter 855: Chapter 858: Meeting on a Narrow Path_1

Lin Zhen learned about the Hall of Fame and the king's news from Chen Yuan.

Although Lin Zhen is currently only in the Three Flowers Realm, he feels that he is not far from that step.

"To claim the throne, you need to have a certain reputation. Let's start the fight to boost it from here."

When the blood-red flag approached the mountaintop, the seventieth tide had already passed, and there was less than two hours before the end of the virtual battlefield.

"Come and watch the live broadcast, the battle between Lin Zhen and White Tiger Hall is about to start."

...

"Really, they are actually facing off, then it's really worth watching."

"It depends on this time whether Lin Zhen is a hero or a fool. If he makes such a big movement and gets eliminated, that will become a joke."

"Either he becomes a joke or the White Tiger Hall becomes a joke, anyway, there is a good show to watch this time."

The Tianfang City forum is extraordinarily lively. This virtual battlefield should not have any big ups and downs, at most just a few dark horses emerging unexpectedly or some experts being eliminated due to mishaps.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zhen came into the picture and turned this virtual battlefield into a grand spectacle.

Even those who were not very interested in the gladiatorial battlefield also began to take notice. The number of people watching this segment of the video in Tianfang City has already exceeded two billion!

The only slightly disappointing thing is that the image of the video is not so clear in the dark night.

There is an open space on the way to the final peak.

Passing through this open area is the mountaintop that can only accommodate ten thousand people.

When Lin Zhen and Chen Yuan arrived at this open space, it was the darkest time before dawn.

In the dark night, Fu Qingfeng, San Hu have already been waiting in full battle formation for Lin Zhen's arrival.

Aside from them, Chen Yuan also noticed the presence of Xi Erman from Speed Dragon Cavalry.

"This old fellow is really here, they have joined forces."

Chen Yuan immediately faced them and whistled.

Originally, there were quite a few gladiators from the San Xia Association watching the excitement. When they heard Chen Yuan's call, they immediately ran over and gathered around Chen Yuan.

Soon Chen Yuan also led a team of people to Xi Erman.

"Xi Erman, the grudges between Lin Zhen and White Tiger Hall don't need outsiders mediating it. If your Speed Dragon Cavalry insists on meddling in this mess, then our San Xia Association wouldn't mind joining in. How about a melee fight?"

Xi Erman looked uncomfortable: "You have to interfere? Don't forget that we are now allies. You won't get any benefits from getting involved."

Chen Yuan chuckled: "You don't need to worry about that, I can't guarantee anything else, but I will definitely eliminate you first before the end of the battle."

Xi Erman gritted his teeth and paused for a while and finally managed: "If we Speed Dragon Cavalry don't intervene, your San Xia Association must also not intervene."

"No problem!"

"Deal!"

Soon Chen Yuan and Xi Erman reached an agreement. Both sides led their respective men to the mountaintop, leaving the place to White Tiger Hall and Lin Zhen to solve their issues on their own.

When the two gangs left, the open space immediately became much more spacious.

Currently on the entire virtual battlefield, there are nearly 13,000 people.

The White Tiger Hall has the fewest people, just over 3,000, while the other two gangs combined have 9,000 people.

The two gangs left, and there weren't many places left on top.

It was the darkest time of the night, the members of the White Tiger Hall sitting in various positions opened their eyes.

All eyes were on Lin Zhen, just like a pack of wolves in the night.

Everyone concentrated their spiritual power in their eyes, emitting a gaze like that of a wolf.

On the small road to the mountaintop, Fu Qingfeng sat in a high chair, looking down at Lin Zhen, his eyes locked on him.

San Hu was the first to approach within dozens of meters of Lin Zhen and coldly began, "Lin Zhen, the way to the peak is blocked by us now. If you want to get to the peak, the only way is to pass through us. There are nearly 3,000 gladiators from White Tiger Hall here, and on the peak, there are more than 9,000 people from two gangs. Do you know what this means?"

Lin Zhen smiled, "It means most of you will be eliminated."

San Hu grinded his teeth and said, "Wrong! This indicates White Tiger Hall's determination to eliminate you. We would rather sacrifice many gladiators' chances of advancement, but we cannot allow our White Tiger Hall's dignity to be trampled under your feet. Even if most of us die for you today, we have to get rid of you, you bastard!"

Lin Zhen looked at San Hu from top to bottom: "I hope you don't regret this choice."

"Enough talk, Lin Zhen, you are done for today!"

San Hu finished talking and retreated, waved his hand, and a group of gladiators from White Tiger Hall came out.

There were about several hundred people in this group, and they all had one thing in common, they all rode on mounts.

"Everyone, get ready. Each of you only has one chance to cross swords with Lin Zhen. Take turns to attack in cycles, and do not charge together. This guy has powerful killing techniques. One person, one sword will tire him out!"

San Hu set up the tactics, and the cavalry from all directions began to charge.

The final battle between Lin Zhen and the White Tiger Hall had finally begun!

Lin Zhen tightly gripped the Lance of Landis to welcome the first cavalry charge.

When the martial artist attacked, he completely abandoned all defenses, concentrating all his lifelong skills in one stroke, heading straight for Lin Zhen.

If it had been just Lin Zhen and him in combat, Lin Zhen could have defeated him in one move, but he couldn't do that now.

The enemy's charging formation was well planned, with one attacker following another in quick succession. If Lin Zhen used his full strength to kill one man, it would be difficult to resist the second man.

Left with no choice, Lin Zhen waved his spear and blocked the attack with a horizontal swing!

Clang~~!!

After the loud collision, this cavalryman passed by Lin Zhen. The second cavalryman arrived almost within 0.01 seconds.

Clang~~!!

After another hit, the third one was quick to follow.

San Hu burst into laughter from afar, "Lin Zhen, keep resisting. We have approximately 3,000 men. Each of us will attack you one by one. Even if you are as tough as iron, we will pound you into a pancake!"

With that, he went over to Fu Qingfeng with a smug look, "Qingfeng, what do you think of my plan? It should be enough to keep the brat busy, right?"

Fu Qingfeng, however, shook his head slightly, "It won't be that easy."

San Hu agreed, "I know it won't be that simple to win, but this time, our victory is assured. With Qingfeng personally blocking the entrance to the mountaintop, no matter how much Lin Zhen bounces around in this open field, can he kill all these more than 3,000 people? He doesn't have what it takes."

A faint smile appeared on Fu Qingfeng's face: "The reason why I agreed to your plan is because you asked me to personally guard the entrance of the mountain. With this move, no matter how Lin Zhen struggles, it will be in vain."

San Hu sat next to Fu Qingfeng, "Then let's sit back and watch the show. There's just over an hour left. The final tide will cover this place. Let's hope Lin Zhen can hold on for a bit longer."

Lin Zhen's resilience exceeded everyone's expectations.

One after another, the cavalry charged fiercely, even stronger than usual. But no matter how hard the cavalry attacked with all their strength, Lin Zhen could easily block it.

After the Lance of Landis was imbued with gold, it had become indestructible. Lin Zhen utilized the technique of being immovable like a mountain, using the lance horizontally, meeting strength with strength!

The sound of clashing metal strung together as the cavalry charged at Lin Zhen like a wave, unable to shake him at all!

About five hundred cavalrymen took turns charging. Almost every ten seconds, one round was completed.

But after hundreds of rounds, Lin Zhen remained unchanged, not retreating even the distance of a hair's breadth.

The White Tiger hall members, who at the start had been excited by the rapid assaults of the cavalry, were almost falling asleep.

It's not terrible to have a powerful opponent, what is terrible is that you can't see any hope.

The seventy-first wave of water had already risen, proving that there was less than an hour left to the end of the final battle, but the fight was so dull that it made people feel sleepy.

"When will they finish fighting? It's so boring!"

The words of a White Tiger Hall gladiator represented the sentiments of many people, including the charging cavalrymen.

Repeating the same action over and over again, these cavalrymen were tired. The waving of weapons was no longer as powerful as before.

Even those watching the final battle video, many have already logged off, waiting to read the news tomorrow instead.

The screen was already too dark to see clearly, and it was the same repeating image, which was rather boring.

People were starting to feel weary.

It was in such circumstances that the opportunity Lin Zhen awaited came.

Because the cavalrymen cycled in charging from the side, the martial artists from White Tiger Hall were all on both sides. Passing through the cavalry, he could go straight to the entrance of the mountain top where San Hu and Fu Qingfeng were.

A Gladiator, riding a Black Ghost horse, followed the previous martial artist in the charge.

Lin Zhen had been watching this man for a while; he seemed half-hearted about the fight, not coming in with much force. This was a golden opportunity.

Counting to three in his heart, when the enemy arrived, Lin Zhen, who had been quiet for almost half an hour, suddenly struck!

Armorization!

Because this man's attack was the weakest, Lin Zhen chose to resist head-on.

As expected, the warrior's scimitar simply made a symbolic pass on Lin Zhen, causing a spark.

The gladiator was stunned; he didn't expect Lin Zhen to suddenly give up on defense, allowing him to strike Lin Zhen directly.

Unfortunately, on such a rare opportunity, he had put in no strength in his attack.

Lin Zhen, having not resisted this time, finally had the chance to act at his leisure.

Spring Earth!

The lance shook, energy exploded, numerous earth spikes surged up, instantly blocking the cavalrymen behind him.

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Zhen transformed into a streak of light, slipped through the somewhat chaotic cavalry, and pounced straight towards San Hu and Fu Qingfeng!
