Chapter 994: Chapter 997: The Need for Activity_1 Chapter 994: Chapter 997: The Need for Activity_1 After leaving Ai Wei’er, Lin Zhen headed to the wilderness on his own.

He was a high-level warrior, but he knew that his strength goes beyond a typical high-level warrior, even though he can’t recall how he acquired his fighting experience.

The Napolet planet has almost equal amounts of land and sea.

The land area is vast, and most of it is a barren wilderness.

There were once countless cities on this land.

However, after the catastrophe, most of the cities fell, turning into ruins, becoming a paradise for mutant beasts.

Lin Zhen arrived at a dilapidated house in the deserted area, wanting to try incorporating the Time Law again.

…

He vaguely remembered his previous attempts were failures, but now he thought he might have a breakthrough.

Upon entering the ruined house, Lin Zhen started his new round of breakthrough attempts.

********

The process of incorporating the Time Law was still as tough as ever.

A period of three days and three nights was equivalent to over two months for Lin Zhen.

During these two months, Lin Zhen almost succeeded several times, but as soon as he saw the dawn of success, he inexplicably encountered setbacks.

The law was clearly on the verge of completion, but at the last moment, there was no movement, as if it was a stagnant pool of water.

It was as if it was a dying tree.

No matter how hard you water and fertilize it, you can’t bring any vitality to it.

“What’s going on?

What’s still missing?”

At this moment, Chris appeared again.

Lin Zhen remembered that she was his artificial intelligence, but he doesn’t recall how he got her.

That didn’t matter now.

“Master, you’re still missing the final step.”

“What’s missing?”

“Vitality!

Your realm origin lacks vitality.

You need something with energy to trigger it before you can truly complete the incorporation, otherwise, you can’t do it.”

“Oh!

What kind of energetic thing?”

“The crystal nucleus of a living being.”

Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up: “Are you referring to the ubiquitous mutated beast crystal nucleus?”

“No, not the mutant beast’s, but a human’s.

The part of your genetic lineage that still belongs to humans is more dominant.

The crystal nucleus of a mutated beast won’t work.

Only a human’s will.”

Lin Zhen frowned slightly: “But where can I find a human crystal nucleus?”

“There are some.

When Napolet first experienced the catastrophe, there were beings called zombies, which were transformed humans.

They also have crystal nuclei within them.

After all these years, the majority of the zombies have been eliminated.

Now it’s the world of the mutant beasts.

However, I did find on the planetary forum, there’s still a place with zombies.”

“Where?”

“The Buddhist Light Zen Temple in Sanjiang City, five hundred miles away from Peace City.

The humans living there are monks, practicing a decision called Golden Body which makes their bodies resistant to decay.

They survived as zombies with immense strength, and they remained in the Buddhist Light Zen Temple.

Over the years, many have attempted to eliminate these monk zombies but failed.”

“Oh!

These monks remained so formidable that they haven’t been eliminated over the centuries?”

“Yes, to eliminate these monks, one needs to kill the abbot of the Buddhist Light Zen Temple.

The abbot is always hiding and can revive the monk zombies.

The reason for everyone’s failure is because they were unable to kill the abbot in one go, so the Buddhist Light Zen Temple has become the last remaining gathering place for zombies.

However, as long as they stay within the temple and do not come out, people choose to turn a blind eye.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen immediately stood up: “No matter what, if they have turned into zombies, they must be eliminated.

Even staying in the temple is not allowed.

I’ll go to the Buddhist Light Zen Temple now!”

“Master, you should hurry up.

Due to the influence of Ancestor Fierce Fire, I saw on the forum that there are many warriors who want to go to the Buddhist Light to collect zombie nuclei.

That place is about to become a hotspot.”

********

The bloodstained wilderness just outside Peace City has been the site of countless battles.

The dark red soil, stained over centuries by the blood of countless warriors and mutant beasts, was said to have been black, but now it had turned red from blood.

Setting foot on this land, you could even smell the scent of fresh blood.

There were shadows of people ahead, buzzing with noise.

The wilderness revealed signs of battles everywhere.

After Ancestor Fierce Fire issued the decree, many people had to leave the city and go to the wilderness to hunt mutant beasts.

And the mutant beasts, feeling the collective dispatch of humans, became restless, appearing from all sides to fight to the death with humans.

However, the mutant beasts in this wilderness were not powerful.

The truly powerful beasts were inside the cities.

Lin Zhen’s goal was Sanjiang City.

Sanjiang City is situated to the northeast of Peace City, at the confluence of three rivers.

It was a strategic place that once housed millions.

Now, however, it has turned into a complete den of demons.

Without paying heed to the battle in the wilderness, Lin Zhen headed northeast.

There were many people with the same destination as him.

Ahead of him was a team made up of four generals, who seemed to be heading in the direction of Sanjiang City.

Seeing Lin Zhen coming from behind, a war general sneered.

“Another one trying to take advantage, if you have the guts, go ahead yourself, rat who follows others.”

Lin Zhen silently passed by them, leaving the few generals somewhat surprised.

“This guy…

Is he seeking death?”

A cloud passed over in the sky above.

That was a giant eagle.

The few generals stopped in their tracks, cautiously forming a formation to prevent an attack from this B-level eagle.

However, the eagle did not attack them; in the eagle’s view, Lin Zhen, who was alone, was undeniably a better target.

It flaps its wings, swooping down from the sky.

“This guy is doomed!” A War General exclaimed confidently.

In an instant, the eagle swiftly dived.

But what they witnessed left them in shock.

This Advanced Warrior drew out his long spear, stabbing at lightning speed!

The movement was not exceptionally fast, the force was not particularly strong, and the attack had no ostentatious movements.

It was just a simple strike, but it was perfectly timed and positioned, right into the eagle’s throat!

The precise control of the distance and timing of this strike was breathtaking.

The eagle had no chance to resist and was instantly killed by the Advanced War General with just one stab!

With a shake of his long spear, Lin Zhen extracted the crystal nucleus from the eagle’s brain.

“A B-level crystal nucleus…

barely satisfactory…”

In addition to meeting Ancestor Fierce Fire’s requirement, Lin Zhen instinctively felt that this kind of crystal nucleus seemed to be useful to him, so he put it away.

Without paying attention to the dumfounded expressions of the War Generals behind him, Lin Zhen continued moving forward.

He quickly vanished from their line of sight.

“My God!

Am I hallucinating?”

“Is this guy still a warrior?

His battle skills…

are unprecedented.”

“Even the top master in Napolet Star, Cang Ming, may not possess such skills, right?

How come I never knew that such a character existed?”

“Berserker…

Relying on my Martial Artist’s intuition, I can clearly feel this guy’s arrogance, he is a berserker.”

Just like that, the group gave Lin Zhen a nickname, the Berserker.

********

In the south of the Bloody Wilderness, Ai Wei’er and her coachman had also found themselves in a predicament.

A group of pursuers finally cornered Ai Wei’er in an abandoned town.

An Intermediate War God, wearing a sinister smile, was leading the group.

With a long halberd in his hand, he, along with six or seven advanced War Generals, cornered Ai Wei’er and the coachman.

There were also a few corpses on the ground, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had just happened.

“Hehe, Beautiful Miss Ai Wei’er, you sure made us put in a lot of effort to find you.

To capture you, three of my brothers were killed by mutated beasts, and now several more have died.

Tell me, how should we settle this debt?”

Ai Wei’er had a wound on her arm, and the coachman in front of her had injuries all over his body.

Ai Wei’er looked at the War God across from her with a pale face and spoke angrily, “Chen Yu, don’t forget who took you in when you first came to the Ai family.

Now, you’ve come to attack me with a group, you heartless creature.”

“Hehe, my dear lady, how many years have passed, and you still bring up ancient history.

I said from the beginning when I entered the Ai family that it was for glory and wealth.

Clearly you’re not able to offer me these things anymore.

The only valuable thing about you now is your youthful beauty, but would you be willing to offer it?”

“Screw you!

In your dreams!”

“I knew you wouldn’t agree.

Even if you did, I wouldn’t dare accept, given your family’s status.

I just need your life to report back, no extra trouble needed.”

With a chilling expression on his face, Chen Yu addressed, “Enough discussion, guys, send them on their way!”

At Chen Yu’s command, the group simultaneously attacked Ai Wei’er and the coachman.

“Miss, run quickly!”

The coachman, Uncle Wang, roared and stepped forwards to confront the enemy with his heavily injured body.

His Danitan energy exploded, taking out two opponents with his sword.

Ai Wei’er knew Uncle Wang was using his life to buy her some time.

She couldn’t afford any delay.

With a swing of her sword, she deflected an opponent in front of her and charged out.

“None of you are getting away!

Some of you, deal with this old man.

I’ll deal with Ai Wei’er!”

Chen Yu followed with his sword, while the others managed to pierce their blades into Uncle Wang’s heart after sacrificing another life.

Chen Yu initially thought of capturing Ai Wei’er alive, but she was a War General after all.

Under her fierce counterattack, he found it challenging to get hold of her.

“You are courting death, let me send you on your way!”

Clang~~~!!

Their weapons collided, and Ai Wei’er’s long sword was knocked away.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest; Chen Yu’s sword had penetrated through it!

Ai Wei’er fell, as blackness clouded her vision.

She felt her life fleeting away.

Chen Yu pulled out his sword and cast a glance at Ai Wei’er, who lay in a pool of blood.

He felt a bit of remorse but he could not disobey Ai Shan’s orders.

Tuning around, Chen Yu started to report back to Ai Shan using Dimensional Universe communication.

“Boss…

it’s done.

Ai Wei’er has been killed by my own hand.”

“Yes…

there was fierce resistance, we’ve lost several brothers, but thankfully we succeeded.”

“Good…

you want to see her body?

Okay, I’ll show you now.”

After reporting for a while, Chen Yu turned back.

But the sight shocked him near to the point of his eyes popping out.

The bloodstains were still there, but Ai Wei’er, who was clearly dead just a moment ago, was nowhere to be found!

“Where…

where’s the body?”

Chen Yu clenched his teeth in anger.

Could Ai Wei’er have been alive just now?

That shouldn’t be possible, right?
