_1 Chapter 969: Chapter 972: Counterattack!
_1 What does the concept of a hundred-thousandth of a second mean to you?
Can you imagine dividing a single second into a hundred thousand parts?
By the time you even begin to fathom how fleeting this bit of time is, he would have passed by you hundreds of thousands of times.
Within such a brief moment, in a situation where most people believed the victory of Yama was assured, the circumstances suddenly changed!
Lin Zhen’s sword struck like lightning, hitting home in the gap between Yama’s dual-blade attack!
…
Splutt~~~~!
Yama did not anticipate that Lin Zhen could seize the opportunity in this hundred-thousandth of a second.
Unable to react in time, he was pierced through the throat by Lin Zhen’s sword!
The rampant bladelight which just filled the sky disappeared instantly, and the arena returned to calmness.
What people saw was Lin Zhen’s sword piercing the opponent’s throat, and Yama, one hand holding the Grim Reaper’s Scythe and the other grasping Lin Zhen’s long sword.
This scene shocked everyone!
Lin Zhen, who seemed completely defenseless, actually managed a counterattack.
Yama, ranked third amongst the Endless Species, faced an unprecedented challenge.
However, people did not believe that Lin Zhen had won.
Yama would not go down so easily.
********
“Cough cough cough…..!”
Yama coughed several times, blood spilling from his mouth.
He clutched Lin Zhen’s sword tightly with one hand, black energy swirling around it, blocking the energy Lin Zhen was trying to push forward.
Slowly pulling the sword out, although Lin Zhen wished to shatter his skull, he could not do so.
Yama’s Star Power was still incredibly strong.
In a contest of absolute strength, Lin Zhen was still at a disadvantage.
However, Lin Zhen did not want to give his opponent any chance to turn the tables.
If this attack could not defeat his opponent, there would be no telling what could happen next.
Lin Zhen needed to do everything he could to destroy his opponent’s potential.
At this moment, the two were at close range, providing the perfect opportunity for Lin Zhen to deploy the Destructive God Thunder.
Although Lin Zhen only had one piece of Destructive God Thunder left, he had no choice but to use it.
With one hand holding the sword putting pressure on Yama, he raised his other hand and spread it open.
“Yama!
Taste this!”
The Destructive Ion Thunder, possessing the fastest speed of all thunders, left Yama with no room to evade at this close range.
However, being the third amongst the Endless Species, Yama’s toughness was beyond Lin Zhen’s expectation.
In the nick of time, the Grim Reaper’s Scythe was held in front of Yama.
The Destructive God Thunder fell, knocking the scythe spinning into the air, but this action dissipated some of its power.
The thunderbolt fiercely struck Yama’s chest.
After being weakened, it shattered the middle-grade treasure armor on Yama’s chest before blasting onto his body.
A deep pit appeared in his chest, gory and muddled, even his heart was visible!
Yama, who had always been formidable, could not withstand such a heavy blow.
With a crack, Yama knelt on one knee, his body starting to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen knew he could not give his opponent any chances.
He prepared to withdraw his sword for another hard blow to Yama to end this grueling battle.
However, Lin Zhen had underestimated his opponent.
Yama, who had been lucky to survive the attack of Destructive God Thunder, was enveloped by dense black energy.
That energy was his essential Death Qi, unique to the Ghost King Clan.
This black energy swiftly healed Yama’s wounds, saving him from death.
Yama himself suddenly yanked at the sword in Lin Zhen’s hand, bringing the two of them rapidly closer.
Bang~~!
Yama transformed into black energy, in an instant he was behind Lin Zhen, tightly grasping Lin Zhen’s neck with one hand!
“Ahahaha~~~!”
With Yama’s exertion, Lin Zhen was effortlessly lifted off the ground.
“Lin Zhen, you little pup!
Your attack just now almost killed me, but I, the king, am blessed by heaven.
Your thunderbolt was not completely successful, and having lost this opportunity, it will not come again!”
Lin Zhen’s hands clung onto Yama’s arm.
His towering height of three meters and formidable strength made it hard for Lin Zhen to resist.
A dizzy, blurred feeling came on.
Lin Zhen had many injuries all over his body, constantly draining his strength.
He mentally commanded, and seven flying swords rose into the air, trying to attack Yama from behind.
But Yama was prepared and unleashed a mental shock, forcefully attacking Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea from behind!
One hit, two hits…
an endless barrage of blows followed.
Both their Spiritual Powers were at the peak of Sky Blue, this was a fight that would mutually wound both of them.
If given time, it would even be advantageous to Lin Zhen.
But it was beneficial to Yama now.
Under the violent bombardment of his mental power, Lin Zhen could only defend.
The few flying swords that had just risen lost their power and fell, he didn’t even have a chance to deploy his Divine Infant.
“Hahaha!
Lin Zhen!
You’re done for, your majesty will strangle you alive today, don’t even think about using any tricks.”
The sound of bone breaking resounded, and a malicious smile spread over Yama’s face.
He was sure of his victory!
Suddenly!
He felt his wrist struggling to hold onto Lin Zhen’s neck.
Black Hole Beast transformation!
In the nick of time, Lin Zhen decisively used the Black Hole Beast transformation, quickly enlarging his body, making Yama’s once towering figure look incredibly tiny at this moment.
But this only lasted for a moment, as Yama, at the same time, began to rapidly grow in size too.
“Lin Zhen, don’t think you’re the only one who can transform.
Growing and shrinking in size are nothing remarkable to the Ghost King Clan.
Even if you transform into the Black Hole Beast, I can still strangle you to death!”
Before his words fell, suddenly a strong force assailed him from behind, locking onto his neck.
Yama’s pupils dilated in shock.
The one ambushing him from behind was none other than Lin Zhen’s Treasure-seeking Vine.
He had considered thousands of possibilities, only to forget about the Treasure-seeking Vine.
Even if he had remembered it, it wouldn’t have mattered as all his powers were currently concentrated on dealing with Lin Zhen, leaving him utterly unprepared for the ambush behind him.
The Treasure-seeking Vine yanked Yama backwards.
Using this brief window, Lin Zhen quickly took a breath of fresh air.
His previous feeling of dizziness completely disappeared, immediately revitalizing him.
With a sudden twist of his head, Lin Zhen bit down on Yama’s arm.
The massive fangs of the Black Hole Beast clenched together, instantly tearing down the arm!
“Ah!
Get off me!”
Facing the terrifying maw of the Black Hole Beast, Yama felt the approach of death for the first time.
His Star Power burst to its limit, and even the God Realm Peak stage Treasure-seeking Vine couldn’t withstand Yama’s strength, and it began to break inch by inch!
But this was still enough.
The brief window of time the Treasure-seeking Vine had bought for Lin Zhen was sufficient for him to use his Black Hole Devouring.
From the Black Hole Beast’s gigantic mouth, a black hole swirled and faced Yama head-on while the Death Ripples engulfed him.
Yama’s colossal body twisted a few times before rapidly shrinking.
“No!!
Lin Zhen, don’t even dare!
My Star Power, explode!”
Lin Zhen could clearly feel the intensity of Yama’s Star Power, which was definitely above 70 billion, even nearing the 80 billion figures.
Such Star Power was enough to place him among the top five, or even the top four of the two major species.
But none of this mattered anymore.
Lin Zhen also had 50 billion Star Power, and anyone with less than 100 billion Star Power simply couldn’t withstand the Black Hole Devouring.
Due to various objective factors, Yama had to face the Black Hole Devouring head-on.
No matter how powerful he may have been, he couldn’t escape now.
The resistance of his Star Power only delayed his demise for less than a minute.
Under the Death Ripples of the Black Hole, his Star Power disappeared like water flowing into a drain.
Failure to maintain Star Power meant the arrival of death.
Although the Ghost King Clan had a strong vitality and a recovery rate almost no less than Lin Zhen’s Immortal Spiritual Body, they were powerless against the Black Hole’s power.
Their bodies would dissolve, turning into the smallest particles, preventing any possibility of recovery.
Yama’s body crumbled under the power of the black hole and vanished without a trace.
But Lin Zhen did not withdraw his Black Hole Devouring.
He maintained its form and even intensified it!
This move puzzled many people below, but Dong Xuehan, Tiannie and others were taken aback.
Tiannie’s pupils shrank: “This guy…
is really ruthless.
He knew that Yama could hide his soul in the God Realm.
He’s not giving Yama any chance.”
Saying this, he glanced at Dong Xuehan: “Sir, your eye for talent is truly unique.
Lin Zhen has incredible potential.
He’s only at the God Realm Stage now; if he advances to the Divine Stone Stage…
that’s hard to even imagine.
Sir, how can you be so sure about him?”
Dong Xuehan snorted coldly from his nose: “How I judge a person is my business.
Don’t you think you talk too much?”
Tiannie was taken aback and awkwardly turned his head.
However, he was determined to thoroughly investigate; what happened yesterday?
*********
Sure enough, three seconds after Lin Zhen maintained his Black Hole Devouring stance, a crack appeared in the void, and Yama’s God Realm emerged.
Lin Zhen could consolidate his God Realm, so it was not surprising at all that Yama, who ranked third among the Endless Species, could do the same.
Lin Zhen had been wary of this trick all along.
If he didn’t break Yama’s God Realm, Yama might still have a chance to resurrect.
All his previous efforts would have been in vain.
Lin Zhen even suspected that Yama’s easy surrender was due to his intention to use the God Realm to resurrect and then counterattack with a renewed status.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated.
He didn’t expect Lin Zhen to employ the same tactic and leave him without any opportunity.
“Ah!!!!
Lin Zhen, you’re so ruthless … I won’t surrender … See you at the Skyfire War…!”
Following Yama’s resentful roar, his God Realm completely collapsed and the hint of a twisted soul completely disappeared within the black hole.
A ray of light streaked past, and Yama’s body had already returned to the Hall of Fame seat of the Endless Species.
However, he had lost, and his chance of ranking among the top four of the two major species was gone.
He could only rank third in the group and try to compete for the fifth spot.
