Lin Zhen hung up Chen Fenglie’s call and came downstairs. His parents were playing with Xiao Nuan.
This time Lin Zhen planned to take Xiao Nuan with him, but he couldn’t afford to be careless about the safety of his home. So he called Baggio.
Two hours later, Baggio arrived in Ice City from Iceland.
With this super expert here, there was no need to worry about the security of the home.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Lin Zhen left Ice City and headed for the Five Connected Pools.
He had arranged with Chen Fenglie for three days, and Lin Zhen wanted to get the Time Meteorite within three days to avoid any trouble.
He brought Chen Fan’s mask with him when he left. Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Zhen didn’t want to show his true face. After all, now everyone in the world knew him except for those who were blind, and it was really inconvenient to go out with his real face.
The aircraft he rode was Shu Mingxuan’s small house aircraft.
The performance of this aircraft was indeed top-notch, surpassing the Black Ghost on Earth by a lot. In no time, he arrived at the Five Connected Pools.
As a place rich in Mutant Beast Crystals, this area was where War God Level experts were active.
After paying the entrance fee, Lin Zhen entered this thick smoke-filled area once again.
There were quite a few War Gods hunting Mutated Beasts in the Five Connected Pools, and some people even invited Lin Zhen to hunt together.
After all, Lin Zhen’s apparent Star Realm was considered a strong presence.
Lin Zhen refused one by one, walking at a leisurely pace until he arrived at the side of White Dragon Lake.
White Dragon Lake was filled with thick poisonous fog, creating a natural boundary. Those without exceptional skills could not cross the fog.
When he reached the edge of the poisonous fog, Lin Zhen saw many people gathered here.
Lin Zhen walked over and saw a huge stele, with the inscription, “The place where national hero Lin Zhen defeated Yue Zhenhua.”
Many people were taking pictures here, and some were even telling stories about how Lin Zhen had demonstrated his divine might and thoroughly defeated Yue Zhenhua.
Lin Zhen took a glance, and his heroic deeds weren’t glamorous. In the end, it was just a fight between martial artists. He had won, making him the hero, while the loser was beyond redemption.
When people weren’t paying attention, Lin Zhen entered the poisonous fog area directly. He had an immune body to poisons, so he wasn’t afraid of the toxins, but others were.
After entering the toxic zone, Lin Zhen used continuous instant teleports, crossed the toxic zone, passed Crane Lake, and arrived at the edge of Ruyi Lake.
This was the last of the Five Connected Pools, and it was rumored to contain ten SSS-level Mutated Beasts. Lin Zhen didn’t dare to take it lightly, and let Xiao Nuan out first before observing the environment here.
The surface of Ruyi Lake was dead and still, without a single ripple. The trees on the shore were all withered, giving the impression that there was no life here at all.
“Where are those SSS-level Mutated Beasts?”
Lin Zhen looked at Xiao Nuan and saw her crawling on the shore, her fur bristling and staring fixedly ahead. She was obviously sensing danger.
Lin Zhen slowly closed his eyes, released his spiritual power, and began to scan the mirror-like surface of the lake.
Ten minutes later, he had his first discovery.
There was some movement from a large black rock on the shore.
The rock was actually an enormous alligator-turtle the size of a small hill, measuring over five meters high and nearly twenty meters in diameter. Lying there motionless, no one would think it was a mutated beast without taking a closer look.
“What a formidable creature! That shell of his’s is practically impenetrable! It definitely won’t be easy to deal with.”
Lin Zhen didn’t rush to attack. He continued to observe the shore.
About an hour later, Lin Zhen had found three Mutated Beasts in succession.
In addition to the alligator-turtle, there was a giant spider in the withered forest, a huge lizard over thirty meters long on the rocks, and a huge Mutated Poisonous Snake that looked like a rotting piece of wood on the water’s surface.
With the targets found, Lin Zhen prepared to attack, and his first target was the giant lizard on the rocks.
Lin Zhen’s first move was a golden air ray!
Raising his finger, the golden air shot out and hit the giant lizard from afar, piercing a small hole in its body.
The giant lizard felt pain, but because Lin Zhen was well hidden, it didn’t notice him and instead climbed down from the rock, swaying as it walked towards him.
Each time the giant lizard walked a certain distance without noticing anything and wanted to return, Lin Zhen would release a ray of light to inflict mild pain on the giant lizard, and little by little, he lured the creature away from the edge of Ruyi Lake.
The giant lizard was lured by Lin Zhen all the way to the edge of Crane Lake.
It was time to make a move!
Lin Zhen’s Dark Star activated, and gravity suddenly burst forth!
The huge body of the giant lizard couldn’t resist the massive gravity of the Dark Star, and it was pulled into the air!
Spatial Fissure!
The Spatial Fissure appeared in the path of the giant lizard. Its huge body couldn’t avoid it, and its long tail measuring seven or eight meters was cut off!
The giant lizard writhed violently, spraying a mouthful of dark liquid at Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Barrier opened, once again creating a spatial rift!Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
The Spiritual Barrier was instantly melted, but Lin Zhen’s Light Annihilation continued to block the liquid spat out by the giant lizard. In response, the spatial rift took this opportunity to cut off one of the lizard’s front limbs.
Having lost its front limb and tail, the giant lizard fell heavily to the ground. Lin Zhen, brandishing his Yin-Yang Spear, teleported above the beast and pierced it!
The spear firmly pinned the lizard’s mouth shut!
Xiao Nuan rushed in from behind and bit the lizard’s wound, while Lin Zhen transformed the Light Annihilation into a long knife and began vigorously attacking the massive creature.
The giant lizard used its remaining front claw to knock away Lin Zhen’s spear and roared as it charged towards him.
Upon contact between the Light Annihilation and the giant lizard’s claw, Lin Zhen was sent flying like a swatted fly.
Fortunately, since he was in mid-air, Lin Zhen didn’t suffer much damage. He quickly turned around and resumed his offensive.
When the giant lizard went to bite again, Lin Zhen knew he couldn’t resist head-on. He teleported to the side, and the Light Annihilation slashed over a hundred times, all targeting the same spot.
The giant lizard was severely injured and turned to bite at Xiao Nuan behind it.
Xiao Nuan didn’t try to endure the gigantic beast’s attack, instead using its speed to circle around the giant lizard. The three-legged lizard simply couldn’t catch the elusive Xiao Nuan.
Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan cooperated with each other, seizing every opportunity to strike the giant lizard.
However, it was finally severely injured. Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power was now extremely formidable. He teleported around, and each attack left a new wound on the giant lizard.
After an hour-long battle, the giant lizard finally fell beneath Lin Zhen’s spear.
“Phew! This thing’s speed and power were absurdly strong. If it weren’t for my immense Dark Star gravity, that first strike would’ve dealt significant damage. It would’ve been so hard to win.”
After this battle, Lin Zhen finally knew that he could defeat an SSS-level Mutated Beast. As long as he didn’t encounter two simultaneously, victory was guaranteed.
Lin Zhen calculated the time; if everything went smoothly, he would clear out the ten mutant beasts in this area within three days and proceed to Bermuda.
Bermuda’s ocean territory had been a mysterious land since the Christian era, with countless planes and passenger ships vanishing here.
People had explored the area many times without finding any answers or even making significant discoveries.
Only after the God Transformation Calendar did the mystery begin to unravel.
Or rather, it was revealed on a small scale, circulating only within the top Martial Artists.
Beneath the waters of Bermuda, a massive plant called the Cloud-Climbing Vine grew. It measured several kilometers in diameter, with a length too vast to fathom. It was first discovered by the Hua Xia War God, Yan Qiyue.
When Yan Qiyue first found the Cloud-Climbing Vine, its tendrils had already reached 100 meters above the sea surface.
The Vine gathered energy elements at the bottom of the ocean, brewing various Elemental Fruits, which bore fruit once every hundred years. Martial Artists who consumed them could not only strengthen their elemental energy but also greatly improve their Star Power.
These energy storms interfered with the operation of all modern transportation machinery, making the Vine practically responsible for the crashes and sinkings of planes and ships.
Every hundred years, when the time had come, the Heavenly Star List fighters would gather in Bermuda. They would break off the newly-grown tendrils of the Cloud-Climbing Vine, collect the fruits and prevent the Vine from growing above the sea surface, to avoid attracting the attention of the world and causing conflict. This was the secret among the Heavenly Star List members.
This year marked another hundredth year, and the Martial Artists from Hua Xia were Chen Fenglie and An Bihuai.
A dozen or so people stood in the face of the raging waves.
Among them, the Martial Artists from the United States, Sand Russia, and the European Union were the three strongest factions.
Kate from the European Union was the first Holy Son of the Gods Clan. Having reached the Satellite Stage, she was the strongest person present.
The Ice Snow Emperor from Sand Russia and the Black-robed Tyrant from the United States were also top-tier experts who had reached the peak of the Comet Stage.
The Heavenly Star List members hovered above the ocean surface, with Chen Fenglie anxiously waiting.
Beneath the waves, the immense tendrils were coiling upward. When the tendrils broke the water surface and came into contact with the air, the Elemental Fruits would ripen.
The Heavenly Star List members didn’t communicate with each other and were waiting for the Elemental Fruits to form so that they could go and pick and absorb them.
“Younger Brother Chen, are you sure Lin Zhen will come?”
“He said he’d definitely come. Let’s just wait a little longer.”
The two repeatedly looked back at the others. After a while, they saw a streak of light quickly passing through the distant sky.
“He’s here!”
All the Heavenly Star List members looked towards the east, seeing that the person approaching had a massive pair of metal wings behind him. Faster than a meteor, the wings flapped a few times, and the person arrived before them.
“I’m sorry, am I a bit late?”
Lin Zhen had hurriedly rushed over. Just an hour ago, he acquired the last meteorite in the Five Connected Pools, the Time Stone.
He didn’t have time to comprehend the Time Stone’s mysteries, and instead hastily made his way to Bermuda.
“You’re not late, you’re right on time.”
With a smirk, An Bihuai patted Lin Zhen’s shoulder, “Now that you’re here, based on our combined strength, we can have a good time in Bermuda. Let’s hope we all make some gains this time.”
