Chapter 1081: Chapter 1084 Cultivation Years_1 Chapter 1081: Chapter 1084 Cultivation Years_1 As an Upper God, Wang Chong is not so easy to die.

However, having lost half of his head, even if he doesn’t die, he’s severely injured.

He didn’t anticipate consecutive self-destructs, careless enough to have suffered a huge loss.

After using his Divine Power to heal himself, his vitality had greatly diminished.

Wang Chong was slightly trembling, intense raged blazed in his eyes.

“I understand now, my subordinate was soul-locked by Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen was just deliberately fooling me to steal my money!

…

Damn it!

I wish I could devour him alive!”

After throwing a tantrum in the safe zone for a while, Wang Chong managed to calm down a bit.

Upon regaining his composure, he figured out some things.

“No, my subordinate and Lin Zhen’s self-destruct did not leave anything behind.

The Positioning Compass and the third-level Gene Essence that I just handed over were not destroyed, so they must have been taken by Lin Zhen.”

His two Upper God guards also nodded, “Should be.

Lin Zhen must have some sort of invisibility technique, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid detection for so long.”

“Right, but even though we know, we can’t do anything.

This kid now has a compass, allowing him to find and counter-find locations.

Combined with his invisibility, finding him won’t be easy, let alone catching him.”

Wang Chong brooded in silence for a while, “There’s no good solution right now.

We can only continue to hunt him down and intensify the search.

Although Lin Zhen’s whereabouts are strange and elusive, he still needs to cultivate and kill Fierce Beasts.

As long as some master hunters locate him, he won’t escape easily.”

“From today onwards, I will stay in the Earth Core Purgatory.

I don’t believe that I can’t find him in a year, nor in ten.

If I can’t find him after a decade, can he remain hidden for a century?

There will certainly be a day when I catch him!”

**********

When Wang Chong decided to track down Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen had already entered the Earth Core Purgatory.

This time, he directly returned to the ninth tier of the Thunder Element.

He returned to where he had been through the Heavenly Tribulation, which he considered the safest place.

From entering the seventh layer onwards, one would rarely see a human figure; it was even rarer to see anyone on the ninth level.

He chose this secluded place, where it was likely that not a single person would come for many years.

To break through and become a Lower God, Lin Zhen first needed to strengthen himself to the limit.

To reach the highest point just before becoming a god.

Because of his Lightning Doppelganger, Lin Zhen’s Star Power surged massively, effortlessly resisting the first Heavenly Tribulation.

He felt that he should also have no problems with the second.

He even wanted to try the third, which is why he swindled a bottle of Gene Essence from Wang Chong.

After arriving here, he first restored the Lightning Doppelganger and gave the Positioning Compass to it.

In this way, it could give an early warning if anyone arrived.

Then, Lin Zhen started his second cultivation of the life gene in this place.

The second-level life gene is the Mutated Violent Ape Gene.

The Violent Ape possesses boundless power.

As long as the cultivation succeeds, Lin Zhen’s killing power will greatly increase.

The Order’s test is a hundred years.

It’s been three years now.

Lin Zhen used to compete for time to kill Fierce Beasts to earn points, but now he realizes his thought process had been off.

He should have focused on increasing his strength first.

If his strength is sufficient, his speed of slaughtering Fierce Beasts will also increase.

With a time deceleration of twenty-four times, he still has plenty of time.

After swallowing the Violent Ape Gene, Lin Zhen began the long cultivation process.

Following the cultivation method of the Nine Tribulations Stellar Codex, the cultivation began.

Within the Earth Core Purgatory, there are no seasons, but even in the Thunder Zone, there are occasional rustling sounds.

The wind brought dust and accumulated a thick layer on Lin Zhen.

In the first year of cultivation, Lin Zhen took some time to consume a set of Spiritual Strength Pills, increasing his spiritual strength to 85% of the Cui Mang Rank.

In the eyes of some people, 100% of the Cui Mang Rank might be considered the limit of spiritual strength, but Lin Zhen knew that the limit of spiritual strength goes beyond that.

Since he wanted to become a god, he needed to push his strength to the maximum, including his spiritual strength.

Integrating the second-level life gene is more difficult than the first level.

Lin Zhen had a whopping five-year duration of cultivation!

Five years, which is equivalent to one hundred and twenty years for Lin Zhen!

After a hundred and twenty years of focused cultivation, Lin Zhen finally raised the life gene to the peak of the second level.

Reaching the peak triggers Heavenly Tribulation!

Lin Zhen had long been prepared.

Knowing the power of Heavenly Tribulation, he calmly faced the Robbery Cloud and did his best to resist.

At this time, the power of the Violent Ape Gene manifested itself.

Whether it’s the mantis or the Violent Ape, the main training focus is on the arms.

Sharpness and power; Lin Zhen’s arms are now incredibly robust.

Just waving his arms could resist a series of Chaos Airflows.

The first-level Heavenly Tribulation brought nine Chaos Airflows, while the second level brings sixteen.

Lin Zhen used his body to resist seven with his body, released Star Power to again resist six, and when the last Heavenly Tribulation landed, Lin Zhen burst out all his power, resisting it with a moderate injury as the price.

“Just as I thought, with my current Star Power of over thirty billion and the second-level life gene, I can resist the second-level Heavenly Tribulation without the help of any tools.”

After surviving the second-level Heavenly Tribulation, Lin Zhen’s strength increased significantly, with his overall combat power rising by nearly 35%.

After reaching this step, Lin Zhen’s feeling of becoming a god became stronger, yet he could suppress it for a while.

Since he could suppress it, it indicated that his strength hadn’t hit the limit yet.

After completing the life gene cultivation, Lin Zhen didn’t rush to cultivate the third-level life gene, but calmed down and started cultivating the Soul Guardian.

The Soul Guardian is such a technique that it can’t even be substituted for cultivation by the doppelgänger.

It directly targets the soul.

The doppelgänger is now an independent life form, its soul split from Lin Zhen’s own soul, and cannot substitute for the original body.

Lin Zhen didn’t let the doppelgänger idle.

These years, the doppelgänger had been comprehending the eighth layer of the Shadowless Step, and now it had completed 70% of progress.

Cultivating the Soul Guardian is a long and tedious process.

It needs a lot of time and energy to accomplish.

Transitioning from the sixth to seventh floor of the Heavenly Platform took Lin Zhen another five years.

Moving from the seventh to the eighth floor took another seven years.

And from the eighth to the ninth took a whole ten years!

After passing the three levels of the Heavenly Platform, Lin Zhen’s soul strength is now on par with that of a mid-level Middle-Level God, far surpassing his realm.

And the four dark matter elements, even the lowest level of super-electron, has also reached 240.

However, there’s still a long way to go before condensing another doppelgänger.

To create a third one, Lin Zhen knew he’d have to reach the sixteenth layer of the Heavenly Platform.

After twenty-two years of cultivation, Lin Zhen has raised his spiritual strength to 96% of the Cui Mang Rank during this time!

After this period of cultivation, Lin Zhen finally started cultivating the third stage of the life gene.
