Chapter 471: 471: The Final Moment!
Teleport!
After Lin Zhen dodged a few falling rocks, the Lightning Wings appeared behind him, and he teleported out of the underground temple.
A tenth of a second later, the last light disappeared, and the wave of destruction completely engulfed the underground temple.
This wave did not pause at all due to the collapse of the underground temple, but continued to sweep toward the No Return Path!
“Quick, quick, quick! I can’t make any mistakes, nor can I pause for a moment. One second of hesitation will be death!”
As Lin Zhen flew, his clone was swung out by him and flew ahead, clearing all obstacles on the path.
“Chris, prompt!”
Chris appeared on his shoulder, giving preemptive instructions to Lin Zhen.
“Master, turn left at 500 meters ahead, a 100-degree obtuse angle bend. Keep the turning radius error within 0.5 millimeters to avoid wasting time…”
“Understood!”
Lin Zhen immediately responded, closely pressing against the centerline of the No Return Path as he made the turn, with the exact center of his body deviating from the centerline by only 0.2 millimeters!
“Master, fly downward at a 45-degree angle, two thousand meters ahead!”
“Received!”
Under Chris’s guidance, Lin Zhen didn’t waste a single moment and moved forward at an incredible speed!
Although the time was extremely urgent, there were no other people here, which didn’t affect his flying speed.
However, one thing constantly reminded Lin Zhen that he needed to be faster, because at this moment, twelve people had already rushed out of the No Return Path and successfully advanced!
He came to participate in the World Stone Challenge for the top twenty spots, as only the top twenty could go to the Fire Kirin Empire’s Concentration Camp for those under a hundred years old.
If he could not enter the top twenty, it would be a failure!
Lin Zhen refused to fail and observed the advancement situation while flying.
At present, there were fifteen people, including himself, in the World Stone, and eight advancement spots left!
He had to overtake them and race against both the wave of destruction and the others!
The No Return Path was a long passage, not wide enough for more than a few people to pass through at once.
Tianci stopped at the end of the No Return Path.
One more step, and he could leave this place, but he didn’t take it.
His clone was dead!
He considered his plan flawless, using his clone to entangle Lin Zhen while he escaped with his main body. When the time was running out, he would recall his clone, completely cutting off Lin Zhen’s hope of escaping the World Stone.
He thought his plan was seamless, even if Lin Zhen could defeat his clone, he would still have enough time to recall the clone.
However, he never expected Lin Zhen to be so cunning, using liquid metal to lock his clone and then releasing a powerful Mental Shock that severed the connection between him and the clone.
That shock was so evil that the screaming, tearing souls still echoed in his head, leaving him in lingering fear.
After the connection was severed, Lin Zhen decisively made his move to kill, and unfortunately, his clone died.
Like his main body, his clone was also the Vajra Crab King with formidable fighting power, but it could not withstand a strike that pierced its brain.
With his clone dead, Tianci’s anger reached a boiling point. He vowed to stay here and wait for Lin Zhen’s arrival. If he didn’t see Lin Zhen die, he would never give up!
Even though time was running out, he still didn’t feel at ease.
This intense resentment surged, causing Tianci’s Black Hole Peak realm to begin to sway!
“I’m going to break through!”
“Hahahaha! I’m really going to break through!”
“Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen! You killed my clone, but I found fortune in misfortune and managed to break through the Black Hole Period’s barrier, entering the Star System Stage! From now on, I’m a true master of one domain!”
For martial artists’ cultivation, the Black Hole Period is a massive watershed.
There is an absolute difference between pre- and post-Black Hole Periods.
Before the Black Hole Period, even if you were at the Constant Star Level Nine Peak, your Star Power source was limited to a single star.
Once you cross the Black Hole Period and enter the Star System Stage, you’ll have access to dozens or even hundreds of planets. And in the Late Stage of the Star System, that becomes a sea of stars!
The gap in Star Power between the two cannot be compared. From a strength standpoint, entering the Star System Stage means that one’s power is at least a hundred times that of the Constant Star Peak!
That’s why martial artists can challenge higher realms, but there has never been an example of a martial artist at the Black Hole Period or lower challenging the Star System Stage.
Tianci’s internal Black Hole began to transform into a White Hole, ending its decay, and stars began to manifest within his Dantian.
An explosive increase in power began, and his eyes shone with the brilliance of a thousand stars!
“Lin Zhen! Come on! When you come, I will definitely kill you!”
A martial artist rushed over, and seeing that he didn’t recognize him, Tianci killed him with a casual strike!
Another one came by, this one from the Earth Core Jade Tower. Tianci let out a cold snort and stepped aside to let him pass.
Thirteen people… fifteen people… eighteen people…
After another martial artist passed, Tianci suddenly realized that nineteen people had already left!
Only one spot is left for the top twenty!
“I can’t let anyone else pass, I have to save a spot for myself. No matter who comes, I will make them die!”
Tianci anxiously glanced at the time, there were only thirty seconds left before the World Stone completely collapsed!
Outside the World Stone, everyone was anxiously waiting for the results.
The courtyard of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federal Assembly was already filled with people, all staring at the World Stone. From the outside, it was seen that the World Stone was constantly crumbling, and its volume was getting smaller and smaller.
The World Stone now only had a small corner left unscathed, but it seemed like it would only be a matter of a dozen or so seconds before it was completely destroyed.
Some people were waiting for their family and friends, but most had already given up hope.
Their loved ones were dying one by one inside the World Stone, and now there were only three people left.
The Temple’s Tianci, the Star River Giant Beast Alliance’s Lin Zhen, and a dwarf.
And there was only one spot left to advance.
Han Sha and Jie Li had sweaty palms and murmured constantly, “Lin Zhen, you must survive!”
Red from the Qing Luan Society stared blankly at the World Stone. From this battle, only she remained from the Qing Luan Society. She was safe after leaving the World Stone, but she wanted to see the person who had saved her.
Lin Zhen, his name is Lin Zhen…
Streaks of light constantly flashed by behind him, and Lin Zhen madly rushed forward on the No Return Path.
Behind him, the Wave of Destruction closely followed, madly destroying everything in its path. Anything it came into contact with would be easily devoured.
The World Stone was beyond saving, it was completely finished.
“Master! Teleport forward, distance required is 5,100 meters, then turn and go up, and you’ll see the exit.”
“Roger.”
Lin Zhen teleported out with a thought, quickly passing the straight distance. His speed had already reached its maximum, and he was about to leave.
Light gradually appeared before his eyes, but accompanying the light was also a terrifying aura.
“Not good! There’s a Star System Stage expert ahead!”
“It’s Tianci’s main body! He’s really waiting here!”
A chill ran down Lin Zhen’s spine, as he deeply understood the terror of the Star System Stage. He was definitely not an opponent he could currently face. Not to mention now, even when he reached the Constant Star Stage, he would not be a match for a Star System Stage.
Moreover, this Star System Stage was an enemy. This was troublesome.
Normally, Lin Zhen would have run away without hesitation, but now, there was nowhere to escape. Stopping meant death. Regardless of whether it was a Star System Stage or a World King, he had to give it a try!
“Perhaps Tianci has just broken through, and his aura is still unstable. There might still be a chance.”
With Wind Thunder Wings flapping behind him, Lin Zhen shot forward like a missile, weaving through time and space. He caught sight of Tianci’s eyes.
Tianci saw him too!
Tianci didn’t expect Lin Zhen to actually make it out while almost being struck by the Wave of Destruction.
This situation caught him somewhat off guard. He only had one chance to kill Lin Zhen; otherwise, if he was hit by the Wave of Destruction, even as a Star System Stage, he would completely perish inside the World Stone.
He raised the sword in his hand, disregarding his unstable aura. He was ready to make a move on Lin Zhen.
“Lin Zhen…come! This is the grave I reserved for you, and you’ll never leave!”
Seeing Tianci’s preparing to unleash his power, Lin Zhen’s first move was to set free the dwarf Ni Ke from his body.
All this time, Ni Ke had been unconscious in his Dark Star Space. If Lin Zhen couldn’t leave the World Stone, at least he had to let this guy out. This was what Lin Zhen promised to help him with.
Carrying the dwarf didn’t affect Lin Zhen’s speed. On the contrary, the wind generated by their rapid movement woke the dwarf up.
“Lin Zhen…”
“Don’t speak. That person ahead wants to kill me. I’ll throw you out in a moment. See that light screen? That’s the exit of the World Stone. Break through it and you’ll be free!”
The dwarf didn’t speak again, but stared intently at Tianci ahead.
He could see that he was a Star System Stage expert, and now there was only one spot left to advance from the World Stone.
If Lin Zhen let him go, wouldn’t that mean he couldn’t make it out himself?
Lin Zhen approached Tianci at high speed, and when the distance was less than a hundred meters, Lin Zhen flicked his hand: “Ni Ke! Go!”
Whoosh~~!!
Like a cannonball, the dwarf was thrown out, straight towards the exit of the World Stone!
This move presented a dilemma for Tianci.
In a hundred meters distance, Lin Zhen could charge through in less than 0.1 seconds. If he intercepted Ni Ke now, he would give Lin Zhen an opportunity.
On the other hand, if he paid no heed to Ni Ke and focused on killing Lin Zhen, he wouldn’t be able to secure the spot to advance from the World Stone!
Would he kill Lin Zhen to avenge his doppelganger or advance first?
In an instant, Tianci made a decision. He ignored Ni Ke passing by him, raised his long sword, and prepared to kill Lin Zhen!
“Lin Zhen! I’d rather not advance, but I want you dead!”
Seeing Lin Zhen flying towards him, Tianci slashed down fiercely with his sword!
