Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1376: Exposure _1 Chapter 1374: Chapter 1376: Exposure _1 Upon defeating the Sovereign before him, Lin Zhen knew that a real challenge had arrived.

The Sovereign of Death, someone Lin Zhen had already known about.

Among the Nine major special Sovereigns, his strength might not be the strongest, but he certainly had the most infamous reputation.

And it was not a good one, to say the least.

All the other Sovereigns ascended to their positions through untamed talents, hard work, or facing countless deadly challenges.

But the Sovereign of Death was different; he walked the path of slaughter, bringing only pain and death to his opponents.

Almost no one who faced him could escape death; regardless of who was deserving or undeserving of it, if he was displeased or if they rubbed him the wrong way, he would act immediately.

…

And he was never merciful.

Describing him as a man who was void of humanity was undoubtedly appropriate.

His ruthless ways were what allowed him to ascend to become a special Sovereign, making him arguably the most cold-hearted person in the entire universe.

Any Martial Artist who faced him could only tremble in fear.

The Sovereign of Death made his appearance, bringing with him an eerie breeze.

Wherever he went, plants withered, and the sand darkened, not because of any toxins he carried, but due to his deadly aura!

The more people one kills, the stronger the killing aura, the aura of one could affect everything.

All Martial Artists have to walk past mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but the aura from the Sovereign of Death was truly unprecedented.

“Hehe!

As I thought, you are indeed a unique genius.

But throughout my life, I enjoy stopping geniuses in their tracks.

The agony in your screams when your ambitions are unfulfilled, that’s the sound I enjoy the most!”

“Really?

Well, today that fate might just befall you.”

Lin Zhen was more than happy to distract him with a few words.

Any second of delay was a good one.

But clearly, the Sovereign of Death didn’t play by Lin Zhen’s rules, he rolled his eyes: “Kid, don’t waste your time thinking, today will be your last day!”

The Sovereign of Death raised his hand and a Grim Reaper Scythe appeared.

It was a top-quality weapon and signature weapon of the Sovereign of Death.

“I observed your long battle, you have never used a weapon.

Could it be that you just do not have a suitable weapon?

If that is the case, then I won’t hold back!”

The Sovereign of Death smirked, his Grim Reaper Scythe swept forth a dark blade light, storming toward Lin Zhen!

The aura from this blade could be described as Shocking Heaven and Earth, chilling to the bone, even for a Quasi-sovereign, they would likely be frozen to death.

With a single sweep of his blade, Lin Zhen knew there was no way out.

The power of the Sovereign of Death was even stronger than Heavenly Brilliance!

The truth was, Lin Zhen had only managed to win by taking advantage of Heavenly Brilliance’s unwillingness to go all out, but the Sovereign of Death was a different kettle of fish; perhaps it was due to his vast body count, he cared very little about his own fate, and he would strike in unity with his blade fearlessly!

If Lin Zhen had a weapon, he might have stood a chance, but now he was unarmed, and dealing with the enemy’s top-quality equipment was likely an impossible task.

The Sovereign of Death was using a Sovereign combat technique, wave after wave of cold blade light crashing down on Lin Zhen, almost leaving him no way to defend.

Thud, Thud Thud~~~!

In a blink of an eye, Lin Zhen suffered hundreds of blade wounds!

Cuts and wounds, bleeding, and the chilly aura of death attacking him at the same time, if it weren’t for the fact that he had the Heavenly Slaughter Aura, he would have already fallen.

Still, if things continued this way, falling would only be a matter of time.

“A weapon…..I need a weapon!”

Thud, Thud Thud~~~~!

The enemy’s scythe swept across his shoulder, nearly severing his arm.

A lotus suddenly bloomed outside Lin Zhen’s body, blocking this lethal attack.

“Hehe!

You have some skills, even having a blooming lotus that can keep my Grim Reaper in check, but let’s see how many times you can resist!”

The Sovereign of Death continued his onslaught, clearly having the upper hand, and victory seemed to be only a matter of time.

“Master, the data range has been further narrowed.

In the entire universe, fewer than a hundred people who have Lotus Bodyguard have appeared.

And, when combined with other data, only two people are closely matched.”

“Who are they?” The Sovereign of Light asked the Divine Angel standing beside him.

“One is Lin Zhen and the other is a rather unknown figure who lived for about a hundred years.

However, this person appears to have some connection with the Lin family.”

“Stop beating around the bush and just say it.”

“Yes, this person is called Lin Fan.

He was born on a native planet in the New World about eight hundred years ago.

From birth, he exhibited the Lotus Bodyguard phenomenon.

He accomplished quite a bit during his time in the New World, including ruining the Lin family’s influence there, causing their dominion to crumble…”

Trivia about Lin Fan’s exploits in the New World rapidly came from the lips of the Angel of Holy.

One piece of information caught the Sovereign of Light’s attention.

That was, Lin Fan had used the Sovereign’s combat technique with his fingers!

And the unnamed Martial Artist before them also used the same finger-based Sovereign’s combat technique, which was identical to the one used by Lin Fan.

Of course, the Sovereign of Light doesn’t believe this is a coincidence, as almost no Sovereign combat techniques are exactly the same.

If this person was Lin Fan, then what about the unnamed Martial Artist, who shares many characteristics with Lin Zhen?

If he is Lin Zhen, then the combat technique is unexplainable.

The Sovereign of Light connected the dots and suddenly, an important point came to mind.

“You said, Lin Fan was born eight hundred years ago?”

“Yes, Master, we have the specific date he was born, it was in the year…

”

The Sovereign of Light narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, “Don’t you find this date familiar?”

The Divine Angel was puzzled and couldn’t recall anything significant about the date.

“Fool, do you remember the day Lin Zhen died?”

The Divine Angel nodded, “I remember, but it’s not that date.

It’s still nearly ten months off.”

“That difference is just right, the Human Clan’s gestation period is nearly ten months.

Don’t you think it’s strange how this unnamed Martial Artist, Lin Zhen, and Lin Fan, all have this bizarre connection?”

Quickly, realization dawned upon the Divine Angel.

“Master, Are you suggesting…..?”

“Hehe!

It’s simple.

Whether it is Lin Zhen, Lin Fan, or the unnamed Martial Artist in front of us, it’s very likely that they are the same person, or rather, Lin Zhen didn’t die at all, and this unnamed Martial Artist is his reincarnation!”

“That can’t be!

Lin Zhen was killed by all of us united, how could he have a chance to reincarnate?”

The Sovereign of Light grew even more affirmative, “Nothing is impossible, Lin Zhen must have some kind of transcendent measure, otherwise, he wouldn’t have triggered the divine task of the Cosmic Origin.

Now I am 80% sure it’s him.

Only he could have the possibility of understanding a Sovereign’s combat technique.”

“Master, what should we do?

Should we inform others about this news?”

The Sovereign of Light waved his hand, “No need.

If he really is Lin Zhen, then I don’t think he can be taken out easily.
