Chapter 1273: Chapter 1275: Time’s Up (Third Update)_1 Chapter 1273: Chapter 1275: Time’s Up (Third Update)_1 After completing the first move of the Tyrant Spear Skill and a bit of Star-pointing power, the subsequent training for Lin Zhen became much simpler.
That being said, while being simpler in terms of comprehension, each subsequent move became doubly complex, requiring ever more time to master.
However, Lin Zhen had plenty of time for now, he could practice slowly, comprehending little by little.
After the first 11,100 years of closed-door cultivation, he mastered the first move.
This move is the foundation of the Tyrant Spear Skill.
If one couldn’t comprehend it, no matter how proficient they were, they couldn’t execute the true Tyrant Spear Skill.
At best, they would only be considered a Quasi-sovereign fighting technique, a world away from the real Sovereign Skill.
…
After 11,500 years in isolation, he learned the second move, Dual Moons Clear the Netherworld.
This move was an evolved version of the first move, with more sophisticated hand techniques and precise exertion of force.
Lin Zhen failed countless times and spent 400 years to finally master it.
After 12,200 years of seclusion, Lin Zhen conquered the third move, Three Star Rings Surrounding the Edge of the Sky.
This move was even more challenging.
Lin Zhen spent a full 700 years to master it to perfection.
Practicing the fourth move took Lin Zhen an astonishing 2,000 years.
All Sweep Across the Galaxy, this move is especially suited for group battles and has immense power.
Learning this move left Lin Zhen feeling like he was about to cough up blood from exhaustion.
Finally, after 14,200 years, he understood the true essence of this move.
At this point, the time allotted for Lin Zhen in this cultivation spot was almost up.
With only the last 200 years left, Lin Zhen knew no matter how much he tried, he could not make any more breakthroughs to learn the fifth move.
It would be impossible to master it without 5,000 years of dedicated time.
In the last 200 years, Lin Zhen didn’t want to waste his time.
He chose to learn the sixth move of the Nine Seals Stacking Skill, the Inner Binding Seal.
The first three moves of the Nine Seal Method were relatively simple, but the middle three were quite challenging.
Most Quasi-Sovereign Levels could only reach, at most, the sixth move, with the majority only mastering the fourth and fifth.
As for the seventh move, Wisdom Fist Seal, according to the Nine Seals Stacking Skill, that was a move for those at the Sovereign Level.
Lin Zhen had been studying the Nine Seal Method for many years; this move was not as difficult to comprehend as the Sovereign Skills, at least the first six moves weren’t.
In 150 years, Lin zhen fully mastered the move “Formation”, Inner Binding Seal.
After mastering the six-fold attack move, his remaining time became more relaxed.
Lin Zhen stopped learning new things and began merging and integrating everything he had learned, making it all seamless and fluid.
For example, how to add the Nine Seals Stacking Skill to combat techniques, and how to more smoothly transition between moves.
Every day was spent this way, and Lin Zhen made rapid progress.
While he was cultivating, he was also waiting, waiting for the final time to pass, waiting for the area contention battle to end.
Although it felt like fifty years had passed, in reality, it was less than a day.
The time for him to go out was nearly up.
**********
Inside the Illusion Town, two years had passed since the Beast Tide.
Over the past two years, the Quasi-Sovereigns in town worked hard to eliminate many of the demon beasts.
Although the beast count was much higher than that of the Quasi-Sovereigns, their intelligence was lower.
Additionally, the Quasi-Sovereigns were continuously acquiring Energy Beads, exchanging those for High Grade Arms, and reentering the battlefield should they fall.
They wore down the beast tide with unending persistence.
It was like the tale of the foolish old man who moved the mountains.
Even though a mountain is huge, it doesn’t grow.
Eventually, it will be completely exhausted.
After two years, nine-tenths of the demon beasts within the town had been cleared out.
Now, the demon beasts were few and far between, and it was hard to find them in most places.
Only the downtown area had a large group of beasts still in residence.
Led by the Tiger King of the twelve zodiac animals, several other king-level beasts had gathered here, such as the Dragon King, Monkey King, Bull King, Snake King, and others.
With no more beasts around, these Quasi-Sovereigns gradually began to converge downtown.
Everyone knew that the remaining beasts were all elites.
Killing one would yield a huge bounty.
The treasures in the Illusion Mall were constantly catching everyone’s eye, trying not to miss their chance.
Everyone dreamed of being able to kill the Tiger King of Sovereign Level and reap the vast rewards.
However, not everyone had the chance.
Some people knew their strength was a bit lacking, so they didn’t gather in the middle of the town, but instead stayed on the outskirts looking for stragglers.
Of course, there were also those who sought revenge, such as Demon Bow and Bone.
The period of regional contention was a humiliation that Demon Bow and Bone could never forget.
They had actually been defeated by someone at the bottom of the rankings, it was an incredible shame.
Especially for Demon Bow, who not only lost but was also Soul Locked by Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power, forced to serve Lin Zhen for a year.
Those days were memories he absolutely did not want to recall.
After they got out, Demon Bow and Bone connected and decided to take revenge on Lin Zhen.
They didn’t even participate in the new contention battles, but instead calculated Lin Zhen’s training time, knowing that he would leave his region from the contention battlefield today.
Demon Bow and Bone each found some help, all top-ranking Quasi-Sovereigns.
They came to the eastern part of the town, where Lin Zhen was practicing.
“This is the place, General.
This was the location for the regional contest.
This hundred-meter area is still covered by Energy and can’t be entered,” Bone pointed in the direction where Lin Zhen was.
By his side was a tall and burly Quasi-sovereign.
On his Heaven Stele, there was a large number “68”, indicating his ranking on in the Heaven Stele.
His name was General, and he was quite famous within Illusion Town.
Such a high-ranking person should be in the middle of the town, going after the elite beasts.
However, today he was here with Demon Bow and Bone.
The General glanced over and asked lightly: “How much longer until it ends?”
Demon Bow checked the time: “It’s about to end, General.
Only one minute left.”
“Good, let’s aim to leave at one minute and five seconds.
You guys know, I need to acquire Energy Beads to exchange for items.
Only then do I have the qualifications to compete for a place in the top thirty.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be of much value in Big Brother Zi Xinghe’s eyes.”
The underlings of top-tier people like Golden Peng Elder and Zi Xinghe were generally in the top hundred, aiming to break into the top thirty.
Once they got into the top thirty, their task when the Eternal Mountain descended was to escort Big Brother and allow him to seize the Sovereign God Crystal.
Zi Xinghe had sent General today to help Demon Bow and Bone because they had joined Zi Xinghe’s camp.
Seeing that the two of them still had some potential, Zi Xinghe decided to help them once to deal with a person named Lin Zhen.
Demon Bow said hastily to the General: “With you here, General, Lin Zhen is sure to die today.”
“Of course.
If it weren’t for Big Brother Zi Xinghe’s order, I wouldn’t even bother to dirty my hands on a person ranked three or four hundred.”
The General exuded an overwhelming aura, clearly not putting Lin Zhen in his eyes at all.
“Five seconds…
four seconds…
three seconds…
two seconds…
one second…
