“This is impossible!”
Shu Mingxuan simply couldn’t believe what was happening.
His Comet Stage sword couldn’t block the shot from Lin Zhen, who was only at the quasi-Star Realm!
Not only did it not block it, but Lin Zhen’s Middle Grade Star Artifact spear even pierced his High Grade Celestial Device armor!
Not only did it pierce the armor, but it also injured him.
Not only was he injured, but the powerful impact was also taking him out of the atmosphere!
The spear penetrated through his shoulder, blood splattering everywhere. He couldn’t break free and was forced to be carried upwards by Lin Zhen’s upward rush.
Gale roared around them, white clouds rapidly descending as they soared up to an altitude of 100,000 meters!
Lin Zhen felt the surging power within him. Freed from the oppression of hundredfold gravity, his strength was unstoppable.
Under the power of his invincible technique, even Shu Mingxuan at the Comet Stage couldn’t stop Lin Zhen’s spear. At this moment, Lin Zhen realized what true strength was.
The strongest defense is the offense, and the strongest offense is the strongest!
This invincible martial technique was incredibly important to him, as it allowed him to fully utilize the power of his spear!
“Whoosh!”
Lightning Wings appeared behind him, and Lin Zhen let out a series of howls, disappearing into the sky in a flash.
In outer space, there’s no day or night, spring or autumn, only endless dark energy and brilliant celestial bodies.
“Boom!”
Shu Mingxuan’s back heavily hit a broken communication satellite, finally coming to a halt.
“Uh…ugh!”
Shu Mingxuan spit out a mouthful of blood, forcefully pulling the spear out from his shoulder. His deep blue eyes turned bloodshot, and he drew his Platinum Sword again, slashing furiously at Lin Zhen.
“Lin Zhen, I want your life!”
Lin Zhen twisted his body in mid-air, and his spear shot out like a poisonous dragon. Using the advantage of his longer weapon, his strike came first, targeting Shu Mingxuan’s lower abdomen again.
Only now, during their first exchange, did Shu Mingxuan realize how difficult Lin Zhen was to deal with. He swung his sword down, attempting to use the sharpness of his top-quality Sacred Device to break Lin Zhen’s spear.
But before he could apply any force, the spear once again pierced his body!
The huge wound in his lower abdomen made Shu Mingxuan’s Platinum Sword lose its power once more, and with a scream of pain, he retreated again.
Two strikes from Lin Zhen had shattered his confidence, and he fled rapidly, wrapped in his Comet Stage Star Power.
“Hahaha! Trying to run away? As long as you don’t return to your Tianhe Empire, you’re as good as dead!”
As he spoke, Lin Zhen’s Lightning Wings flapped, quickly closing in on Shu Mingxuan.
Shu Mingxuan was horrified and yelled while fleeing, “You really know about the Tianhe Empire?”
“Bullshit! I told you when I killed your Huo Luofu that I knew. I can tell you now, your plan is about to fail. Earth is not a place for you to do as you please.”
Both of them were instantly moving through space, and with the acceleration of the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen caught up with Shu Mingxuan after several teleportation and flight maneuvers. His Raging Light surged and flooded the area like a storm.
The sound of clashing weapons was loud and intense. Shu Mingxuan, a Comet Stage warrior, was completely suppressed by Lin Zhen. It wasn’t that he was weak, but Lin Zhen’s spear was incredibly powerful. Each strike hit like a meteor, with immense strength and tricky moves, leaving Shu Mingxuan no chance to fight back.
“Lin Zhen, stop it! Stop, let’s call a truce!”
“Why should I stop? Today you’ll turn to dust in the universe!”
“As long as you stop, I can recommend you to be the vice-director of the Royal Zoo.” Shu Mingxuan finally put forward his own bargaining chip.
Lin Zhen almost laughed, “How ridiculous! Offering me a position as a vice-director of a zoo, do you think this is some kind of grace?”
“You don’t understand. With the position of the vice-director of the zoo, you’ll have a social status and won’t be a slave or pauper. You’d become a citizen with an identity! Do you know how many people dream of becoming a citizen in the Tianhe Empire? People from low-level civilizations like yours usually become slaves or, even less common, paupers.”
“To hell with your slavery! People of Earth will never be slaves! Even if you gave me the directorship of your zoo, I wouldn’t want it!”
Lin Zhen knew about the social hierarchy of the Tianhe Empire – the royal family, nobles, citizens, paupers, and slaves, all were clearly distinguished by their social status.
In his previous life, Lin Zhen had struggled for hundreds of years to obtain a citizen’s identity and finally became a member of the Tianhe Empire.
Now, someone was offering it to him, but Lin Zhen didn’t want it anymore.
There was no doubt that the Tianhe Empire’s army was able to come to Earth because of the man before him. The man was the main culprit responsible for the tragedy and destruction of Earth in his previous life.
Lin Zhen shook his spear, unleashing Overturning River!
Under the augmentation of his unstoppable technique, a huge wave surged and sent Shu Mingxuan flying back thousands of meters!
With a flash of the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen appeared above Shu Mingxuan, raising his spear high to stab downwards!
Shu Mingxuan instinctively wanted to teleport, but Lin Zhen interrupted him, stabbing down with the spear forcefully.
“Lin Zhen, don’t even think about killing me!”
Shu Mingxuan clapped his hands together, materializing a shield. His Comet Stage Star Power surged, resisting Lin Zhen’s spear.
Once again, the shield was pierced by Lin Zhen, and in a desperate move, Shu Mingxuan grabbed onto the spear tip.
However, he couldn’t resist the massive impact force from Lin Zhen. The Lightning Wings flapped, and with Shu Mingxuan in tow, Lin Zhen charged towards the vast blue planet below!
When Lin Zhen took Shu Mingxuan into the sky, it was above Capital Base City. However, since Earth was spinning on its axis, when Lin Zhen brought Shu Mingxuan back down, they had already moved far from their starting point.
Clouds appeared before Lin Zhen’s eyes, and after passing through the troposphere and the thick cumulonimbus clouds, he realized that the vast blue below was an ocean.
“This is the sea!”
Lin Zhen realized that he had deviated slightly from his intended destination, but it didn’t matter; he hadn’t left the Earth yet after all.
Due to the friction from their high-speed descent and the atmosphere, Shu Mingxuan’s back had caught fire.
Engulfed in flames, Shu Mingxuan tried to break free, but couldn’t. The Sacred Armor he was wearing became scorching hot, making it impossible for him to focus. If he let go, Lin Zhen’s spear would pierce through him again, and he would undoubtedly die.
Like a meteor, the two descended from the sky.
Shu Mingxuan shouted, “Lin Zhen, I have two companions coming soon. If you kill me, they will take revenge for me.”
“Let them come then!”
The meteor continued to plummet at a high speed.
They were now in the Huang Sea Region, heading straight towards the Pacific Ocean. The meteor-like figures plunged into the sea with a loud splash!
“Gurgle!”
White foam rolled around them as their flames were extinguished, and they quickly sank into the depths of the ocean.
At first, they could still see the sky, but soon they couldn’t anymore. The water here was a kilometer deep, and Lin Zhen took Shu Mingxuan with him all the way to the ocean floor.
A column of coral reefs was destroyed as Shu Mingxuan’s body was slammed heavily into the mud and sand.
Lin Zhen didn’t give Shu Mingxuan any opportunity to escape, and continued to stab the spear deeper, pinning him to the ocean floor.
Shu Mingxuan screamed in pain as large amounts of seawater poured into his mouth.
He struggled to pull out the spear, but the golden energy that suddenly erupted from Lin Zhen’s spear shattered his internal organs in the process.
Blood gushed out from his wounds and mouth, dying the ocean red and attracting some sea creatures nearby.
Lin Zhen sent a mental command, and the Seven Stars Knife flew out, killing the approaching sea monsters.
Shu Mingxuan’s eyes gradually dimmed, his hand stretching upward as if trying to grab something.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why did he leave the Ancient God City? Why did he let hatred cloud his judgement?
He had been safe in the Ancient God City for thousands of years, but just when Xin Ou and Tu Ya were about to arrive, he was lured by fame and fortune, trying to make a contribution, but ultimately suffering the bitter consequences.
Unfortunately, everything couldn’t start over again. Even if the Gods Clan were to really defeat Hua Xia, and even if the Gods Clan’s army were to conquer the world, he would be unable to see it.
With his fingers weakly falling and his eyes slowly closing, Shu Mingxuan would never be able to return to the starry sky he longed for.
The captain of the Red Rose, Earth’s gravedigger, now rested in the depths of the Earth’s ocean.
Lin Zhen glanced at Shu Mingxuan and took his Sacred Armor and Space Ring.
With a wave of his hand, he sent out an energy ball, creating a deep crater in the ocean floor. He placed Shu Mingxuan’s body inside the crater and covered it with the collapsed coral reefs.
This was a sign of respect for a strong one, and also the fulfillment of a small wish Lin Zhen had in his previous life.
Having done all this, Lin Zhen used an instant teleportation technique to rush to the surface.
Upon reaching the surface and activating his Lightning Wings, he flew into the sky.
The first thing Lin Zhen did after ascending was to take out his mobile phone and check the latest news online.
Before he entered the gravity chamber, the battle in the Northwest had not yet begun. Now, twenty-four hours later, he didn’t know what the situation was there.
As he checked, Lin Zhen was immediately shocked.
Posts about fear and sadness flooded the internet.
The Hua Xia Martial Artists were on the verge of defeat!
Last night, the ascetic monks had made their first move, causing massive casualties among the Hua Xia Martial Artists. Today, Hua Xia’s Star Realm Experts had set off to fight the ascetic monks above the Taklimakan Desert.
The monks’ fusion of battle techniques had taken a heavy toll on the Hua Xia Star Realm experts. In just two hours since the start of the battle, more than half of the Hua Xia Star Realm experts had been killed.
Yan Huang, Baggio, and two Comet Stage ascetic monks were attacking the Hua Xia forces from all four sides, inflicting heavy casualties on the monks.
If this continued, within an hour, Hua Xia would undoubtedly be annihilated!
Many Hua Xia people had already fled for their lives. Once the Martial Artists were defeated, Hua Xia’s army wouldn’t stand a chance. Hua Xia would then face the prospect of being conquered.
But in this apocalyptic world, where could they flee to?
Despair filled the internet. What was the way forward for Hua Xia?
Seeing this, rage stirred in Lin Zhen’s heart. He wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. He had to stop it, and he had to fight!
“Xiao Nuan!”
With his Lightning Wings flapping, Lin Zhen sped towards the west while calling out to Xiao Nuan in his heart.
After coming out of the gravity chamber, he had already called Xiao Nuan, and by now, she should be almost there.
Within twenty seconds, Xiao Nuan appeared in the distant sky. The
space between them seemed to be instantly bridged as she reached Lin Zhen in no time.
Jumping onto Xiao Nuan, which had now grown to nearly ten meters in length and three meters in height, Lin Zhen pointed his spear towards the west, “Northwest, let’s go!”
Xiao Nuan roared towards the sky, exuding the aura of a Galaxy Beast and causing the fish in the sea to cower in fear. Traversing through the air, Xiao Nuan carried Lin Zhen towards the west at an incredibly high speed!
