Chapter 678 - 680: The Stage of the King
Chapter 678: Chapter 680: The Stage of the King
If it were back when Lin Zhen had just entered the Divine Punishment Star, Feng Dao would indeed be a formidable opponent. As a Level Nine Domain King, it was no doubt that he had considerable strength to be the leader of the Emperor’s guards.
His Star Power level had reached 39,000!
39,000 Star Power was equivalent to 3,900,000 Star Power, which was almost equal to Lin Zhen’s 4,000,000 Star Power.
However, now he was no match for Lin Zhen anymore.
There was no reason other than Lin Zhen’s overwhelming Spiritual Power. When Lin Zhen used Light Annihilation to transform into a shield and started launching diving attacks from high altitude, Feng Dao knew he was finished.
Only Spiritual Mind Masters could fly within the Divine Punishment Star, and the minimum requirement was for Martial Artists to nurture a Divine Infant!
For Lin Zhen, who could fly back and forth by stepping on a shield, an ordinary Divine Infant might not be enough. At the very least, it had to be at the Late Bronze Stage or Silver Stage, otherwise, it would be difficult to be as relaxed and unstrained as he was.
Feng Dao Shi Xiaomao also condensed a Divine Infant, but it was merely a Divine Infant of the Late Bronze Stage. Although he could fly, compared to Lin Zhen, it was like the difference between a moth and a gray falcon.
Lin Zhen could fly and attack, while his flying was equal to seeking death. Lin Zhen already had an invincible position.
After continuously blocking Lin Zhen’s diving attacks three times, Shi Xiaomao could not hold on any longer.
“Lin Zhen! I will fight you to the death!”
His front was wide open, and thousands of blades burst forth. A series of Gang Qi, like erupting volcanoes, collided with Lin Zhen and his blade!
Lin Zhen’s eyes narrowed, and the Divine Infant of the Golden Early Stage, brandishing a seven-colored long spear, shot out!
Ignoring all physical attacks and defense, the Divine Infant plunged into the blades and Gang Qi!
Lin Zhen walked forward with his spear and said, “You can’t win a fight relying on just your wild strength and ferocious blade technique. You also need to use your brain.”
The Divine Infant returned, the sky filled with blade light scattered, and Shi Xiaomao stumbled two steps. Just as he was about to fall, he was wrapped in a blue light, pierced through the sky, and was eliminated.
After killing Shi Xiaomao, Lin Zhen’s points experienced a significant leap once again.
His rank had just been over 330,000, with 15,900 points, now it directly reached 23,000, and his rank rose to 188,722!
“I’ve already entered the top 200,000… Killing people is indeed the fastest way to advance.”
Lin Zhen straightened out his somewhat messy clothes and walked towards the city district.
He didn’t know when the border would be opened, perhaps three months, perhaps one or two years, but the 188,000 ranking was definitely not enough. If he couldn’t rank among the top few in a battle zone, then he wouldn’t have much competitive power after the border opened. He could, at most, acquire the Qi of Divine Transformation, but getting the chance to refine his Divine Body was out of the question.
Within the entire Divine Punishment Star, there were 400 small battle zones, and there would need to be a number one in each zone. That meant there had to be 400 people. However, only 100 spots were available to refine the Divine Body, which meant that at least 300 top battle zones would not have that chance.
As he walked, the Light Annihilation transformed into a shuttle-shaped shield once again, carrying Lin Zhen’s body and flying straight towards the city district!
********
The person from Nan Liang who scored zero points no longer had zero points, as his ranking skyrocketed by tens of millions at once!
This matter also attracted some minor attention in the Dimensional Universe, but that was about it. People were really focusing on those who ranked at the top of each battle zone.
In the banquet hall of Nan Liang’s Imperial Palace, Shi Xiaomao knelt down and did not dare to look at the Emperor’s gloomy face.
At this time, the emperors of Xi Zhou and Bei Wei had already been arranged to stay at the palace. Ning Qingxuan had just left with an unhappy expression, along with Liang Zhihuan. Since they didn’t need to entertain guests, Ning Qingxuan didn’t want to stay there for another minute, causing Liang Zhihuan’s heart to ache.
Only Liang Zhihuan and Shi Xiaomao were left in the palace.
“Lin Zhen eliminated you?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I’m incompetent, please punish me!”
“Before we talk about punishment, introduce Lin Zhen’s situation.”
“Your Majesty, perhaps our previous estimation was somewhat erroneous. Since Lin Zhen could hold his own against the queen for a few moves, it indicates that his strength is considerable among the Domain Kings, and it would not be easy to kill him.”
“Do you think that no one can control Lin Zhen within the Divine Punishment Star?”
“No! I have personally fought against him, and his strength is actually about the same as mine. However, his Spiritual Power is too powerful; he completely suppressed me. If we can ask the Domain King masters to take action, there should still be hope to kill him.”
Liang Zhihuan squinted his eyes. Although Shi Xiaomao was right, Lin Zhen was currently in the Divine Punishment Star, and there was no communication with the Dimensional Universe. How could he contact the people inside?
Seeing Liang Zhihuan’s intention, Shi Xiaomao said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry too much for now. Lin Zhen’s elimination of me has also buried a hidden danger. At the time in the Divine Punishment Star, when Lin Zhen killed my surrounding Domain Kings, I sensed danger and had already passed on the message to my boss, Wolfman. As long as the Wolfman takes action, Lin Zhen is bound to be defeated!”
“Let’s hope so. But don’t put all your hopes on the Wolfman. Think of other methods as well. If possible, it’s best for us to have the initiative. We just need to stick to one principle: Lin Zhen cannot make it into the top 10,000,000 of the overall ranking!”
“Rest assured, Your Majesty. Lin Zhen is arrogant and domineering. It will be difficult for him to make it in the 68th battle zone, let alone making the overall ranking.”
Liang Zhihuan nodded slightly, but he still wasn’t entirely assured in his heart. This matter involved the gamble with Ning Qingxuan, and he absolutely couldn’t afford to be careless.
********
A gale swept through the streets overhead, shaking the power poles.
Swoosh swoosh~~!!
Two figures sprinted along the power lines. One could effortlessly jump from one pole to another with a single leap while accelerating, their astonishing jumping ability leaving people dumbfounded.
The person at the front was chased and hurriedly turned around, releasing a series of hidden weapons.
As he threw the hidden weapons, the pursuer also threw his, a flying knife piercing through space and time. The latter took the initiative, bringing down the fleeing person with a single strike!
The body fell from the power pole, only to be disintegrated by a green light before hitting the ground.
“Lin Heizi! You’re going mad in the Northwest City District, the Wolfman won’t let you off!”
The martial artist roared through the green light, and before he could finish the roar, he disappeared.
“Wolfman, Wolfman, is that your mantra? You think I’ll back off if you just mention a name? Then what’s the point of me even being here!”
Lin Zhen glanced at his ranking, 10012 in the 68th battle zone, and was about to enter the top ten thousand.
He had been on the Divine Punishment Star for three months, and after the initial skyrocketing of millions of spots, he didn’t stop advancing, wreaking havoc in the Northwest City District.
Whether it was a person or an undead creature, anyone who encountered Lin Zhen would inevitably meet their end.
Moreover, Lin Zhen was ruthlessly ambitiou With his heart in darkness, he went by the nickname “Lin Heizi,” and had become the number one figure in the Northwest City District.
After killing this person, Lin Zhen looked around and saw the now empty Canglan Street. There were very few undead creatures here, and warriors were scarce as well.
Within three months of chaotic fighting, out of the 25 million martial artists in the 68th battle zone, only less than 3 million were left.
The days when people were everywhere were gone, and finding someone to kill meant traveling far and wide.
Lin Zhen arrived at the entrance of a convenience store. The Divine Punishment Star had been in existence for only two years, and the technological and living environment here was similar to that of the Earth during the common era. Sometimes, it made Lin Zhen feel as if he had returned to Earth.
Pushing open the door of the convenience store, Lin Zhen walked in and looked through the shelves for a while before finding a bottle of white wine. He took out some food and ate slowly.
“Although I’ve been catching up these three months, my efficiency isn’t very high because many undead creatures are active at night, and those true experts also go out at night to hunt undead creatures. Those active during the day are basically cannon fodder.”
“The night belongs to the big shots, only those ranked in the top ten thousand, or even one or two thousand, can roam freely at night; otherwise, they wouldn’t qualify to mix in the darkness.”
“Continuing to act during the day yields little reward. Starting today, I’ll enter the night. Since they’ve given me the name Lin Heizi, I’ll stick with it through thick and thin!”
Lin Zhen picked up the wine bottle and drank the entire contents gurglingly, then sat cross-legged on the spot, resting and waiting for nightfall.
Over the past three months, he never neglected his cultivation. As he had been using elixir in conjunction with Star Crystal absorption during this time, the side effects were minimal, and in another two or three months, he would advance to a Level 9 Domain King.
Moreover, the expansion of his inner world was going smoothly, and in another six months, it would continue to illuminate new Evil Stars.
Additionally, Lin Zhen’s spiritual power had now reached the Late Golden Stage, with 80% gold conversion!
This was Lin Zhen’s cultivation speed, with the devouring advantage of the Black Hole Beast, coupled with his own ability to perform alchemy, bringing materials for devouring, he could absolutely crush anyone in cultivation speed!
If the Divine Punishment Star had been open for 30 years, no, 20 years! Lin Zhen dared to say that he would absolutely be able to sweep all the people on the planet without batting an eyelid!
“Now that I’ve reached the Late Golden Stage… If my spiritual power can advance to Dark Gold, I dare say that throughout the Divine Punishment Star, there will be no more than a handful of people who can rival my spiritual power!”
Night gradually descended upon the Divine Punishment Star….
Outside the Divine Punishment Star was a layer of divine force field that prevented people from leaving and blocked the entry of dimensional universe signals.
However, the pale moonlight in the sky seemed to be growing brighter, abnormally so.
Whenever the moon rose, even those warriors ranked high would have to tread carefully, because all the super undead creatures would come out to bathe in the moonlight.
Once a giant lizard grew wings and became an impervious zombie dragon, soaring through the sky.
Once the warriors of this planet died, they rode war horses and stepped on black hellish demonic fire, transforming into fierce and powerful undead knights. They swarmed through the streets in groups.
Occasionally, a swarm of bats would rise into the sky, blocking out the sun as they landed on a tall building. They would transform into pale-faced humanoids dressed in luxurious clothes, vampires.
In Lin Zhen’s battle zone, there was once a martial artist who ranked first and was eliminated by a swarm of undead knights!
So, the warriors were very cautious when venturing out at night, but the night belonged to both kings and the deceased!
