Chapter 383: 383: Time Acceleration (Third Update)
Translator: 549690339
Space travel is a long and boring process, thankfully, martial artists can cultivate, otherwise, space travel could drive a normal person crazy.
However, the one on Lin Zhen’s spaceship was a clone, and whether its strength increased or not was determined by the main body.
His clone was currently at Comet Level 9. To cross the Star Realm hurdle and enter the Constant Realm, Lin Zhen’s main body had to break through to the Star Realm, otherwise, it would be almost impossible to achieve a breakthrough.
The only way he could increase his strength was to use Innate Devouring to devour a large amount of Fire-element metals, enhance his body’s strength and firepower, promote the growth of Galaxy Beast cells, and gradually evolve towards adulthood.
However, the prices of Fire-element metals were insanely high. Lin Zhen didn’t know if his current wealth was enough to afford a single meal, so he could only stay bored on the ship counting stars.
Fortunately, there wasn’t much time before a message came from the Dimensional Universe.
“Master, your friend Shangguan Jiao is calling you in the Dimensional Universe. Do you wish to enter the Dimensional Universe immediately?”
“Enter.”
The scene changed, and Lin Zhen returned to the luxurious courtyard.
There were already many people gathered in the courtyard. Shangguan Jiao’s friends and acquaintances had arrived, and they had brought many people with them, all of whom were dressed in fancy clothes, typical of the upper class.
When Lin Zhen appeared, Shangguan Jiao immediately greeted him: “Lin Zhen, I’ve gone all out this time. As long as you can defeat the son of the Lord of Lyra constellation and your words are proven true, I promise to fulfill my promise.”
“The Lord of Lyra?”
“That’s right, a constellation located in the north of the Milky Way, ruling over fifty-three small star systems, each of which is slightly larger than your Solar System. The capital is on Vega, a somewhat famous star in the Milky Way.”
Lin Zhen nodded. Ruling over fifty-three star systems was not small.
“The lord’s son is called Li Changfeng, a rather arrogant bastard. He has a group of fighters under him who have already won a lot of money from me. Whether I can make a comeback or not depends on you this time. One hundred million Tianhe Coins per round, hit him hard for me.”
“Don’t worry, victory is certain.” Lin Zhen responded decisively to Shangguan Jiao, putting his mind at ease.
At this moment, a group of people appeared in the courtyard.
“Hahaha! Shangguan Jiao, you still have the guts to challenge me. Are you running out of ways to spend your money?”
The newcomer was a young man with red long hair, wearing black iron-studded leather clothing and several gems on his ears, showing a flamboyant style.
Behind him, in addition to a group of guards, there was also a cold young man with a long knife on his back, who should be one of his fighters.
Ignoring the heated exchange between Shangguan Jiao and Li Changfeng, Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on the young man.
This person was actually only at Comet Level 5!
About the same age as Lin Zhen, he was a Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master, with a scar on his face and an ice-cold expression, proving his strong will.
One of Shangguan Jiao’s servants stealthily informed Lin Zhen: “This is your opponent, Mida, known as the most talented martial artist in the history of the Lyra constellation. He’s only twenty-seven years old, and at Comet Level 5, he has defeated those at Planet Level 1. After seven hundred and twenty victories in the arena, he was hired by Li Changfeng as a personal fighter. Be careful later.”
Lin Zhen became cautious, without a doubt, this was an extremely powerful opponent.
Being able to defeat a Planet Level 1 with a Comet Level 5 strength was quite terrifying, and if placed on Earth, he would probably walk sideways.
At twenty-seven years old with a Comet Level 5, Lin Zhen wasn’t even twenty-three yet. By the time he reached twenty-seven, he might not have even reached Comet Level 5.
Seven hundred and twenty victories was a terrifying achievement, and this guy even had a chance to reach a thousand consecutive wins.
However, no matter how strong the opponent was, Lin Zhen had to defeat him. If he didn’t dare to challenge the number one fighter of the Lyra constellation, how could he ever hope to reach the peak?
There was a high platform in the courtyard, which would serve as a fighting arena for the two of them.
After Shangguan Jiao and Li Changfeng argued for a bit, the price for a single round of fighting was raised to 500 million Tianhe Coins.
Shangguan Jiao pulled Lin Zhen over: “This is the fighter I hired, Lin Zhen from the Solar System. He’s the number one at the Star Realm Stage. Your Mida is dead today.”
“What Solar System? Never heard of it. Mida, take out this brat for me!”
Both of them went up to the platform and faced each other.
Mida pulled out the long knife behind him, and the blade emitted a dazzling starlight. It was actually a Lower-Grade Divine Artifact!
After drawing the knife, Mida didn’t say a word and just swung it with all his might!
Whoosh!
A spatial rift stretched out like a rapidly expanding canyon, starting from Mida and heading straight towards Lin Zhen!
Lin Zhen didn’t dare to be careless. With a swing of his Cliff Corner Spear, he performed a Spatial Slash!
A horizontal spatial rift suddenly appeared and collided with the opponent’s vertical rift!
The collision between spatial rifts rarely occurred in battles between Star Realm Warriors. In that instant, time and space fluctuated, and spatial turbulence spread all over the place. Since the Dimensional Universe simulated the real world, people in the courtyard had no choice but to take cover.
Shangguan Jiao’s excited eyes turned red: “Good job! I knew Lin Zhen hadn’t revealed his full strength before. He can actually withstand Mida’s Spatial Slash. No wonder he dares to claim he can defeat any Star Realm warrior. I believe in him!”
Li Changfeng had a serious expression, as the seemingly invincible Mida had met his match!
After that, the two fought swiftly. Mida had a pair of transparent wings on his back, and Lin Zhen activated his Lightning Wings. The two fiercely clashed in the air, venturing into the heavens and the earth, appearing far and near at times, leaving spectators in awe and excitement.
Mida never encountered an opponent as strong as Lin Zhen before.
In his view, Lin Zhen’s physical durability was even beyond his, which was simply unimaginable.
His body was technologically enhanced, even having the genes of a Mantis Beast, yet he couldn’t gain the upper hand.
Lin Zhen’s immovable like a mountain stance blocked Mida’s continuous strong attacks, and Mida finally snapped.
Letting out a strange shriek, the clothes under his armpits suddenly tore open.
Two green long knives broke through his skin, and with a speed beyond human limits, Mida wielded the Artifact long knife in his hand and two green knives under his armpits, swinging them frantically. Each slash created a massive spatial rift, immediately suppressing Lin Zhen.
“Damn, Mida has such a move. How come I’ve never seen it before?”
“If you knew about it, would you still foolishly play five billion a round with me?”
Shangguan Jiao’s face turned pale. Would he lose to Li Changfeng again?
In Lin Zhen’s eyes, there was only the mantis-man. It’s true that the universe was full of wonders, and some people had implanted insect genes for combat. No wonder ordinary people were no match for him.
Even for Lin Zhen now, defeating the berserk mantis-man was extremely difficult, and it was almost impossible without a great cost.
Lin Zhen didn’t want this battle to end in mutual destruction, which would be detrimental to his future development.
However, it was almost impossible for him to win decisively. Just as Lin Zhen was about to give it his all in a decisive battle, there was a change in his true body.
“Hmm… My main body is finally about to comprehend the Time Stone!”
At the bottom of the Bermuda Sea, Lin Zhen’s main body, holding the Time Stone in his hand, finally opened his eyes.
“The birth and destruction of a planet are embodied in a small stone, where the power of time is fully manifested.”
“The power of time also needs a space to be displayed, and I just happen to have mastered spatial power, so I can try to accelerate time within a small space.”
After days of observation and comprehension, Lin Zhen had his unique insights into the power of time.
The battle on the other side was intensifying, so Lin Zhen had to speed up.
In the dark sea water, a deep-sea jellyfish rose before his eyes.
“Foldable Space, release!”
Lin Zhen’s main body raised his hand in the deep sea, the energy from his Dantian mixed with the Dark Star Space, forming a small Foldable Space in front of him.
The jellyfish, nearly two meters in diameter, was enveloped in the Foldable Space, filled with seawater.
This transparent, box-like object was Lin Zhen’s unique space.
The jellyfish seemed unaware that they had entered another space and continued trying to swim upward.
Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly, and the changes of the planets flashed through his mind.
“In my understanding, the power of time is the most complex and powerful force, which can be divided into three forms. Each one is enough for people to spend millions of years studying.”
“The first form is time acceleration, the simplest of the three forms. Using Star Power as the fundamental driving force, it can be displayed within my spatial field, allowing time to flow faster.”
“If I could instantly accelerate time by millions or tens of millions of times, a person could instantly change from a baby to an old man, and then rot away.”
“The second form is time stop, or space-time stop, which requires an immense amount of Star Power to accomplish.”
“And the last, and most difficult form, is time retrogradation, where time inside a certain area reverses. This technique should only exist in an ideal world.”
“But with my current ability, maybe I can slightly accelerate time. Just a little acceleration can be used in real combat.”
Lin Zhen acted immediately, holding the Time Stone, activating his Star Power, and his whole body became enveloped by a layer of starlight.
Star Power gathered in the Foldable Space in front of him. He took out a watch from his Space Ring and gently raised his hand, causing the watch to fall into the Foldable Space.
“Go!”
With a single thought, the jellyfish suddenly sprang upward, directly hitting the edge of the space.Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m
And with that watch, in just one second, the time actually passed by three whole seconds!
