Chapter 930
Chapter 930: Chapter 933 Lin An_1 Chapter 930: Chapter 933 Lin An_1 The days of flying through cosmic space are long and dull.
Even at the speed of light, it would take an endless amount of time to travel from the Eye of the Storm to Skyfire City.
No one could traverse the countless light years of distance with normal flight.
So, it is necessary to rupture and traverse through space-time itself to proceed.
Lin Zhen had initially planned to expend a lot of divine stones to speed up his spaceship, but he quickly discovered a neat trick.
The Rainbow Bridge he acquired from Su Lante was a product of pure elemental energy capable of crossing space-time.
Astoundingly, it perfectly integrated with the power of the Liuli Ship.
…
When harmonized with the divine stones installed in the acceleration device, it allowed the Liuli Ship to easily traverse space.
“Tsk, tsk, bro!
I really admire your luck, this Rainbow Bridge may be a part of the Liuli Ship.
With this, your Liuli Ship can fly easily through space.
It seems we’ll reach Skyfire City sooner than we thought.”
Lin Zhen was pleased too.
Had he not obtained this item, he would’ve given up on going to Skyfire City for now.
He needed to return to Falling Star Lake within forty years and couldn’t waste much time on the journey.
“Traversing through space, accelerating a hundred thousand times faster, we’ll probably reach Skyfire City in half a year.
This is much faster than regular space-time travel.
I initially thought the journey to Skyfire City might take tens to hundreds of years.”
“Bro, why are you in such a rush to get to Skyfire City?”
“You also saw the challenge match announcement, right?
Truth be told, those challenges signal the preamble to the Skyfire War.
Once the challenge matches are over, if the Endless Species seize even a little advantage, they are certain to initiate the Skyfire War.
Then, all Hall of Fame members must participate in the war in Skyfire City.
Since we have to go sooner or later, why not familiarize ourselves with the situation sooner?”
“All the Hall of Famers must participate?”
“Yes, the Skyfire War is basically a calamity for the Hall of Fame.
Once this hurdle is passed, there’s ample time to squander.
Becoming a god isn’t a problem, but many people will perish during the Skyfire War.
For instance, I lack the confidence for this affair.”
“What if you don’t participate?”
Bai Yunyan laughed: “If you don’t participate, you must quit the Hall of Fame.
Leaving the Hall of Fame is a trivial matter, but such a self-defeatist move would surely generate a psychological demon.
Then the dream of becoming a god would burst like a bubble.
Forget about self-breakthrough, even integrating a God Crystal would be impossible.
Hence, there are no quitters.”
Patting Lin Zhen’s shoulder, he said: “My young friend, focus on your cultivation.
You have excellent talent, but your realm is a bit low.
You must enhance yourself as fast as possible.
Don’t seek anything else, just aim to at least retain your position in the Hall of Fame and survive the Skyfire War.”
Lin Zhen nodded, “Thanks, bro.
I got it.”
“While on the way, let’s spar and train in this dimension universe, what do you say?” Bai Yunyan proposed.
“Okay, let’s do that.”
With about half a year to the start of the Hall of Fame challenge match, this half-year equated to twelve years for Lin Zhen.
It was neither long nor short.
Advancing to the peak of the middle stage of the God Realm during this period was somewhat challenging.
It was perfect to train with Bai Yunyan.
Lin Zhen originally thought Bai Yunyan, who ranked 49th, would be no match for him.
But it was only after he sparred with Bai Yunyan that he realized that Bai’s strength underestimated by his rank.
Even though Lin Zhen now possesses 3.8 billion units of Star Power, he still held no advantage when competing with Bai Yunyan!
Not only that, Bai Yunyan’s endless battle techniques fascinated Lin Zhen.
Bai was, after all, a veteran millions of years old, whose technique and experience Lin Zhen could benefit from.
Unbeknownst to him, Bai Yunyan was equally astonished.
Although Bai knew his strength well and was ranked 49th, it had been a long time since he had challenged anyone.
He was confident that he could climb to the top thirty, but he couldn’t believe he could only draw with Lin Zhen, which took him by surprise.
While Bai Yunyan also had many tricks up his sleeve, he knew Lin Zhen also had many great moves.
Just like the thunder he released when confronting Su Lante, Bai Yunyan found it breathtaking.
An infinite release of that kind of thunder would make it possible for Lin Zhen to secure first place in the Hall of Fame.
As their tussle deepened, Bai Yunyan felt more and more impressed by Lin Zhen’s talents.
Initially, they were in a stalemate, but two months later, Bai Yunyan was struggling.
After four months, Bai Yunyan was gradually falling behind.
By the fifth month, Bai Yunyan couldn’t endure for more than ten minutes.
At this point, Bai Yunyan had completely surrendered to Lin Zhen.
After one sparring session that lasted just six minutes, he gave up.
“I give up!
You’re simply an abnormality.
In just five months, I’m no match for you.
It seems, the talents in the top ranks of the Hall of Fame might not even compare to yours.”
“Then I must thank Brother Bai for his generous concession.”
“Concession my ass!
I’m not in the mood to concede at all.
If I can’t win, I can’t win.
Lin Zhen, you better find another opponent in Skyfire City.
The challenge match starts in less than a month.
I reckon a good number of people from both species will be there.
The city will be filled with masters, which is perfect for a combat enthusiast like you.”
Lin Zhen’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
He, too, was looking forward to the day the challenge matches would begin.
Meanwhile, their spaceship was steadily approaching Skyfire City.
********
Red star nebulae oscillated in space, with chunks of land and multiple planets floating amidst them.
Energy turbulence was everywhere, and all were mainly of the Fire Attribute.
Red continents, red rocks, rolling magma even extended into the void, and the immense flaming power was overwhelming, making it difficult for anyone to approach.
The air was filled with a hot, stifling smell.
Any combustible material that got too close would instantly ignite.
Even after countless eons since the big bang, the residue of its energy still prevailed.
In the center of this limitless star nebula and complicated topography stood a red city.
This is Skyfire City, the boundary city between the Endless Species and the Ground Clan.
Above the mainland near Skyfire City, miners are still laboring diligently.
All of them are clad in white Crystal Ice Suits, resisting the pervasive fire power here, working under harsh conditions.
And whatever they reap, will ultimately end up in the hands of the administrators of Skyfire City.
The administrators of Skyfire City are also divided into two sides, one side is the Endless Species, and the other is the Ground Clan.
Today is the Ground Clan’s mining time.
Standing guards in floating cars shrouded with white light shields, holding weapons in their hands, they unceasingly patrol in the air, watching if any miners are slacking off.
Mining here is extremely hard; each removal with the characteristic alloy pickaxe in their hand consumes a massive amount of Star Power.
Fighting against the drifting energy in the air and the rock on the ground as volatile as lava, each swing makes these miners weary.
A Three-Flowers Stage miner, after wielding his pickaxe continuously, his body trembles in waves.
The surging heat fills his protective suit, and he can no longer endure it.
His internal Star Power is almost exhausted and cannot be restored; his extreme fatigue doesn’t get time to recover.
Such high-intensity work, even being a Longevity Warrior, he couldn’t keep up any longer.
Moreover, in this place, Three Flowers Warriors are not considered much; the lowest realm is Longevity, and the Three Flowers realm isn’t all that much stronger.
The feet slip, this Martial Artist falls to the ground!
A nearby guard who was monitoring rushes over immediately, he wields his energy whip and ruthlessly whips down!
“You scums!
Skyfire City provides for your food and drink, allows you to live, and you still dare to slack off at work, I think you’re itching to die!”
“Smack smack smack~~!”
Whipping one after another, he beats the Martial Artist to a pulp.
The protective suit is somewhat damaged under the whipping whip, with the scorching energy rushing in, his skin starts to redden, and a waves of burning smell emanates.
The Martial Artist is screaming on the ground, rolling, begging for mercy.
Three Flowers Warriors won’t die of disease or old age, but they can be beaten death easily.
A crowd of people watching the miner, who could possibly be beaten to death, show a look of pity on their faces, but they dare not act rashly.
Every guard is at least at the Spiritual mind Stage, and there are even small team leaders at the God Realm Stage nearby.
If these miners acted rashly, they would likely be killed.
This Three Flowers Warrior is also beaten to desperation, as the guard made the tenth whip, he suddenly gets up abruptly, flying away!
The Spiritual Mind Stage guard showed a smirk, “Heh heh, you’ve got quite some guts.
Seems like I’ve got some entertainment today.
He rejected the proposals of the other guards who wanted to help him pursue: “Merely a Three-Flowers Early Stage, bottom of the barrel guy, there isn’t need for a crowd, I alone can deal with him, you guys watch the others.”
This guard drives the floating car, chasing relentlessly at sub-light speed behind, soon disappearing from everyone’s sight.
He raced off about several million miles and finally caught up with this Three Flowers Martial Artist.
“Heh heh, you little brat, you dare to run, die!”
Just as he whipped intending to deliver a fatal blow, a flash of brilliance shone in the eyes of the Martial Artist, and his realm suddenly skyrocketed!
His realm shot up directly from the Three-Flowers Early Stage to the Three Flowers Peak!
“Concealing real strength!”
The guard was taken aback in his heart, but didn’t care too much, even if it’s Three Flowers Peak, it isn’t a match for the Spiritual Mind Stage.
The miner abruptly turned around, waving the alloy pickaxe in his hand as a weapon, and passed by this guard!
“Thump~~!”
The guard whipped the miner causing his flesh to spew out, but that alloy pickaxe is firmly nailed into his chest!
“So…..so strong!”
The guard tumbles from the sky, only at his death, he came to know that there are also genius Martial Artists among the miners.
This miner lifted his head, it was Lin Zhen’s son, Lin An!
After Lin An killed the guard, he immediately boarded the floating car, heading for the outskirts of the Skyfire Star Domain without looking back!
He knew that as soon as the guard died alarm would be raised, and the pursuers would arrive soon.
He had to seize every moment.
