Chapter 1017: Chapter 1020: Heavenly River_1 Chapter 1017: Chapter 1020: Heavenly River_1 The speed of Lin Zhen’s thundercloud made Shadow Kill, who was in the Complete Realm, feel helpless.

At this moment, his heart was filled with immense regret.

He made several mistakes in this fight; he underestimated his opponent.

Normally, these wouldn’t have been considered mistakes, as his significant power would have still assured his victory.

However, Lin Zhen’s performance exceeded his expectations.

His series of Shadowless Steps left a deep impression on Shadow Kill.

His sword skills and the incredibly fast thundercloud also revamped Shadow Kill’s perception of Lin Zhen.

…

“This guy is currently at the God Realm Peak, and if he enters the Divine Stone, I’m afraid it’d be hard for me to win.”

“No, this man must be eliminated.

Although he ran away, he still has to go to Skyfire City and participate in the Skyfire War.

You can’t escape your destiny!”

However, Shadow Kill could not pursue him now.

After the previous battle, he was also severely injured and injured himself further by forcibly driving his bloodline power to interrupt Lin Zhen’s sudden outburst.

“Lin Zhen, I hope you won’t be killed by others during this time – your life is temporarily entrusted to you.

Once my injuries have healed, I’ll personally come to take it!”

Shadow Kill found a hidden asteroid and began to heal.

********

Lin Zhen guided the thundercloud, leaving the star explosion area.

Looking back at the Shadow Dance Martial Arts Academy receding more and more in the starry sky, he felt a bit of regret.

It was a pity that he couldn’t seize the opportunity to advance to the Divine Stone Period during the star explosion.

His promotion would be postponed for a bit longer.

Shadow Kill’s artificial creation of star explosions was also shocking.

If it weren’t for the breakthroughs in his sword skill and Shadowless Steps, he could have met his end in the battle within the star.

The strength of a Complete Strongman was indeed terrifying.

“It seems that the fifth elder brother was not entirely right.

He said that Complete Strongmen are rarely encountered, but I encountered one before I even reached Skyfire City.

It seems that some people consider me a thorn in their side.”

As for who hired Shadow Kill, Lin Zhen believes the Endless Species is the most likely.

After leaving the Constant Star area, as his injuries began to recover, Lin Zhen put away the thundercloud, boarded the Liuli Ship again, and headed straight for Skyfire City.

Aboard the ship, Lin Zhen started to review the recent situation in Skyfire City.

The Skyfire War was to occur in just a few months.

At this time, people from both sides had already started to gather on the Skyfire Continent.

Through the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen could clearly see that the entire Skyfire Continent was already overcrowded.

Strong Ones from both races in various places gathered here, forming a massive crowd of unprecedented scale.

According to the statistics from the Dimensional Universe, the number of participants from each side already exceeds tens of billions!

Almost half of the people who are above the God Transformation and below the Deity stage have gathered here.

If one side loses this time, they might not be able to turn the tables anymore.

Losing is not just about losing momentum but also about losing potential and future.

The battleground is the entire Skyfire Continent.

The Skyfire Continent occupies an area of three thousand star miles.

On the side of the Endless Species, there is a city called the Demon Capital, which is their bridgehead.

The Ground Clan also has a city, called the Holy City, which is their bridgehead.

Now that the battle hasn’t started yet, the crowd in Skyfire City has started to evacuate.

Neighbors who usually get along well no longer communicate with each other.

Everyone understands that after this battle, one side will probably suffer a crushing defeat.

Their neighborhood life will essentially come to an end.

Many people left Skyfire City, returned to their own races’ camps, and immediately signed up for the war.

Skyfire city gradually became an empty city.

When Lin Zhen approached the Skyfire Continent after another three months of flight, the Deities were mobilized.

Several hundred deities appeared on both sides.

They jointly exhibited tremendous divine powers, forcibly separating Skyfire City from the middle of the continent, and quietly hid it into the Different Dimension World.

When Skyfire City disappeared, the continent lost its connective point and began to rumble and split.

Skyfire City served as the center point connecting the continent.

Its disappearance directly led to the disconnection of the continent.

Under the astonished eyes of the public, Skyfire Continent was divided into two.

Where Skyfire City and its surroundings were, a narrow space of tens of millions of kilometers wide appeared.

The deities hiding Skyfire City also announced that this space would be called the Heavenly River from now on, and it would serve as the boundary river between the two races.

The originally uncertain method of combat seemed simpler when this boundary river appeared.

The method is very simple.

People from the two big races prepare for battle in their own areas.

After the battle starts, they can fight as they please.

If one side is completely eliminated, or if their city is taken over, that side would be declared the loser.

The two cities, Demon Capital and Holy City, which were originally small compared to Skyfire City, have now become immensely important.

After this battle ends, Skyfire City will be released again, and the winning side will have jurisdiction over Skyfire City.

Meanwhile, the influx of people from both sides continued to enter the Skyfire Continent.

On the side of the Ground Clan, people from various cities in the Endless Star Sea and hermits from the Original World’s ground all left their places of seclusion and headed for Skyfire Continent in various ways.

Participating in the Skyfire War involved a great risk, but also a massive gain.

Participating in the battle, as long as you can survive, regardless of whether you win or lose, as long as you kill enough enemies, there will be extremely generous rewards.

It is said that those who rank high can even directly gain the favor of the Dominator, and become the disciple of the Dominator.

To all Martial Artists in the Original World, the Dominator is deemed the highest being.

A slot for the Dominator’s disciple is irreplaceable, no matter how much money is involved.

This single quota alone is enough to drive people to the extreme.

********

Lin Zhen’s Liuli Ship finally arrived at the edge of the Skyfire Continent.

On the far edge of the continent, red light permeates, and fire stirs up.

In the red light, a city appears faintly visible.

It is the bridgehead of the Ground Clan, and the last base, the Holy City.

This is a city that must be defended.

If it’s conquered, the Skyfire War is over.

As it approached the edge of the Skyfire Continent, aircraft came to greet it.

“Halt and register!”

Lin Zhen’s Liuli Ship stopped.

Several Martial Artists of the Divine Stone Period drove aircraft to meet them.

A device started to function, scanning the Liuli Ship with a beam of light.

“Ah!

It’s Sir Lin Zhen!”

The martial artists hurriedly paid their respects to Lin Zhen.

As a top-three member of the Hall of Fame, Lin Zhen holds a huge prestige and status among the Ground Clan.

Even without revealing his identity, few would dare to disrespect him, especially now when his identity is known.

“May I proceed now?” Lin Zhen asked lightly.

“Of course, sir.

You should enter the city directly.

The periphery is full of outsiders.

The real elites are all in the Holy City.

Many high-ranking martial artists from the Hall of Fame have already arrived.”

Lin Zhen nodded, and the spaceship accelerated, passing directly through the defended zone of the border guards.

The ship passed low over the ground, and Lin Zhen could clearly see the densely packed crowds beneath, like ants.

Back then, these God Transformation Realm martial artists were high above, all influential figures.

Now they seem like ordinary small soldiers or adventurers, staying here in large numbers, waiting for the start of the war.

The border guard had already passed the news back.

Lin Zhen’s ship did not encounter any obstacles over the city walls, and it directly arrived at the city lord’s mansion.

Following the instructions, Lin Zhen landed in the yard of the city lord’s mansion.

Just after landing, a group of people emerged from the room.

“Haha!

Lin Zhen is here.

With you here, we have greater hope for our battle.”

Lin Zhen looked and noticed that the speaker was actually Qiong Jing.

The first in the Hall of Fame among the Ground Clan, runner-up in the great war of the Hall of Fame between the two races, and only narrowly lost to Dong Xuehan.

Beside Qiong Jing stood Ye Xingcai, He Ying, An Luoqi, Augustine and others.

Further back, the Giant Dragon King, Sky Swordsman, Bai Yunyan, and others were also present.

The crowd gradually came to greet Lin Zhen.

Despite Lin Zhen being the youngest, he was evidently the focal point.

During the conversation, everyone was somewhat stunned.

Despite decades had passed, Lin Zhen was still at the peak of the God Realm.

Standing there, he was like a deep, immeasurable star sea, and had obviously made significant progress in these years.

While walking and talking with Lin Zhen, Qiong Jing led the group into the room.

There were already dozens of people in the room.

A glance from Lin Zhen revealed familiar faces – all members of the Hall of Fame.

However, Lin Zhen couldn’t quite remember the names of those who ranked lower.

Whenever someone greeted him, Chris would remind him in his mind who that person was.

To prevent Lin Zhen from forgetting and appearing arrogant.

“Sit down, brother.

We don’t have anything major at the moment and just stay here every day counting days until the war begins.

It’s quite boring.”

Lin Zhen was puzzled, “Does that mean the major matters regarding the commencement of the war are not settled yet?”

“What’s there to settle?

All there is that we have to get past the Heavenly River and take down the Demon Capital, nothing else.

Right now, the most critical task is to expand the Hall of Fame.”

“Expand?

How to expand?” asked Lin Zhen in confusion.

“Well, some old fellows are not willing to be unknown.

This Dimensional Universe will be broadcasted live during the battle, and the major kills by the Hall of Fame Martial Artists will be seen by the entire universe.

They intend to temporarily join the Hall of Fame and make a name in this battle.”

Lin Zhen was enlightened.

These are the old Martial Artists from the past who are participating in the Skyfire War.

They intend to reappear by utilizing this war, which makes sense.
