Space Star Crystal
This time, the crack is much more stable than the last one, and the light at the edges is getting brighter and brighter, so it doesn't look like it will collapse and disappear in a short time.
Of course, this time should not be too long, because the Space Barrier is very stable and can automatically recover. Given time, any crack, no matter how big, will be repaired.
Tang Yu was unaware of any of this; he stared intently at the flowers and laughed heartily.
"That's great! That's great!"
"Zhou Butong, you idiot, you fool! Are you still going to show off now? You pig-like thing, you want Special Star Crystal? Do you think you're even alive to get them?"
"These things can only be mine, all of them are mine, I won't give you even a single ordinary one!"
"With these Star Crystal, I'll have power. I'll never have to live under that Little Overlord's thumb again. What a load of rubbish, the Sky Dome Four Gods! They're all trash!"
"And Lin Zhen, that bastard insulted me so much back then, I'm going to repay you a hundredfold for what you did to me, and make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
"And then there's Su Mingyue. You look down on me, but let's see if you'll Xuan Ze the stronger one when I've taken care of Lin Zhen and Little Overlord and you have no Xuan Ze."
As Tang Yu spoke, he became somewhat frantic.
This is only natural. It's like when a poor person suddenly becomes rich, they often lose control of their emotions and excitement, and do some rather Zhang Kuang things.
The same applies to martial artists; few can withstand overwhelming power, especially since Tang Yu is actually quite young.
He stepped on the shield and rose into the air again, laughing as he flew, triumphantly rushing towards the Space Crack, his hand still stretched forward as if he could soon grab the Star Crystal and everything else.
His fingers were approaching, approaching the edge of the Space Crack. If he took just one more step, he would enter a completely new world, a world that would bring him boundless light and imagination.
There's a saying, "Extreme joy begets sorrow."
There's also a saying, "Though we are close, Tianya."
Just as Tang Yu was about to succeed, she suddenly felt a chill in her chest.
"Hmm, what is that?"
He looked down and saw a golden dagger piercing through his back and emerging from his chest.
Then, all his strength vanished in an instant, and he could no longer control the shield. He screamed and tumbled as he fell from the sky.
Boom!
His body crashed heavily to the ground, but he did not die immediately. Instead, he looked up at the purple crack, his hand still reaching forward, but he could no longer reach it.
"Why... why is this happening?" he murmured.
As the rain poured down, he saw Lin Zhen's face come into view.
"No reason? Tang Yu, you may have always thought of yourself as a good person, but you don't know that your heart is evil. In the face of small temptations, you always act like a gentleman, but when faced with things like life and death, power, you can't control your true nature. So your fate was already sealed. I'm just seeing you off."
"Lin Zhen."
"Goodbye, Tang Yu. I've already let you live two more years. Be content. Now that you've completed your mission, you can go in peace."
As he spoke, Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a short knife made of Liquid Metal was pulled out of Tang Yu's chest. Hot blood gushed out and was then drenched by the rain. Soon, it flowed into the trees with the rainwater.
Tang Yu's hand finally fell limply to the side, his head tilted to the side, and his life came to an end.
With Tang Yu and Zhou Butong both dead, there is no one else left here.
Lin Zhen stepped onto the shield and rose into the air.
A bolt of lightning struck Lin Zhen from the sky. Because Lin Zhen's body had been enhanced by Lightning Ions, he was able to sense the intensity of the electric current in the air in advance. He immediately raised his hand and threw a flying Flying Knife to intercept the lightning in mid-air, destroying the Flying Knife in the process.
Another bolt of lightning appeared, and Lin Zhen shot out another Flying Knife, intercepting the lightning once again.
"Even Tang Yu and Zhou Butong of treatment when they took off. The power of the lightning is much stronger than before."
In a mere forty meters, Lin Zhen fired Five Flying Knives in quick succession before finally reaching the front of the crevice.
Ignoring the situation outside, Lin Zhen plunged inside.
Despite this, one of his legs was still struck by lightning.
After a loud bang, Lin Zhen fell into another space, feeling that one of his legs was numb.
"Ah! Thank goodness I have Lightning Ions in my body, which gives me a good resistance to lightning. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to save this leg by now."
Lin Zhen didn't even care about the numbness in her leg at this moment. She hopped forward on one leg, looking around the space as she went.
This space is not large, seemingly only a few hundred meters in diameter. Inside, there is a small hill with a small tree growing on it. All the Star Crystal are concentrated on this tree, which is covered with beautiful flowers.
Looking into the distance, the purple space seemed to be flowing, with its light shifting, and it felt far less stable than the space on Earth.
"I don't know where this space came from. Although I have heard some rumors about space, this is the first time I have seen Space Crack with my own eyes, and it is also the first time I have entered Space Crack."
"There seems to be air in here, which is why the tree can survive. This small hill provides nutrients for this tree. I wonder how long it has existed. Is it as old as the Star Fruit Tree, perhaps a thousand years old?"
Lost in thought, Lin Zhen quickly arrived at the foot of the small hill.
He didn't dare fly here, but instead struggled to climb, eventually reaching the top of the hill.
Arriving at the small tree, we found it covered in Star Crystal, roughly three hundred in total.
"Never mind, let's take them. I don't have time to absorb them here, so I'll just take all these Star Crystal first."
Lin Zhen came to the special Star Crystal and wanted to reach out and pick it off first.
"No, if I start picking Star Crystal now, I can't just leave the other Star Crystal here for nothing. These are all mature Star Crystal, each one is priceless. I have to absorb them all."
"But if we pick them all, there's no way to preserve so many Star Crystal. Am I supposed to uproot the whole tree and take it with me? Even if I put them in my Space Ring, the Star Crystal will dissipate in a few hours. Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Lin Zhen was immediately troubled. If he absorbed the star crystals here, the Space Crack would probably close in no time. If he took the Star Crystal with him, he wouldn't be able to absorb them all in a short time, even with the presence of the Dark Star. Most of the Star Crystal here would be wasted.
If Lin Zhen were to absorb all of these mature Star Crystal, his Dantian Qi would likely be compressed at least seven times in a short time.
If the compression is seven times, Lin Zhen will have enough time inside the Star Fruit Tree. He can then face the experts in the Sky Dome, rescue Su Mingyue, and even leave the Star Fruit Tree quickly without delaying the upcoming monster siege of the Ice City Base.
Therefore, these Star Crystal are of great significance to Lin Zhen and must not be wasted.
However, if Lin Zhen were to be trapped in this space due to absorbing Star Crystal, that would be even less of a possibility. If he couldn't find his way home and was trapped here forever, what use would absorbing Star Crystal be?
Left with no other choice, Lin Zhen Xuan Ze for a compromise.
He planned to absorb Star Crystal rapidly within the Space Crack, absorbing as many as he could. Once the Space Crack began to show signs of instability and closing, he would leave with some Star Crystal. Although this would still inevitably result in losses, minimizing losses was always better.
Since he was going to absorb it, Lin Zhen's first Xuan Ze was naturally that Special Star Crystal.
This Special Star Crystal is the Space Wandering Flower. Obtaining it means obtaining the legendary power of space, which is what Lin Zhen has always dreamed of.
Without any hesitation, Lin Zhen put one leg close to the tree trunk and tried to lift her foot, but there was still some distance between her and the flowers above.
Not daring to fly easily, fearing that the space here was not so stable, Lin Zhen grabbed the tree trunk and, ignoring the pain in one leg, used the skills of a child to climb the tree.
Although one of his legs was numb, Lin Zhen was still agile and climbed up in a few moves. The tree swayed a few times, but it was still sturdy.
Using her hands to push aside the Leaf that were blocking her view, Lin Zhen carefully made sure not to knock over any other Star Crystal as she approached the Special Star Crystal.
Finally getting close, Lin Zhen lowered her head, and the Space-Time Wandering Flower was right in front of her.
The Star Crystal are hazy, a pale golden yellow, sometimes appearing black, sometimes purple, and sometimes cyan, giving people a sense of etherealness and even unreality.
The Star Crystal is right in front of me, yet it seems not to be there at all. This is the magical manifestation of spatial power; it looks as if it could disappear at any moment.
"What a beautiful Star Crystal! Space-Time Wandering Flower containing the power of space. Although I don't know why you are imprisoned here, you belong to me now."
Lin Zhen held her breath, raised her hand, and reached out towards the Space-Time Wandering Flower.
Not daring to make any large movements, I separated the Stamen and the Star Crystal with my fingers, thus severing the mysterious connection between them.
Even with Lin Zhen's intelligence, she was still inevitably drawn to the beauty of this Star Crystal.
"Great, I need to absorb it immediately, lest something unforeseen happens."
Lin Zhen picked up the Star Crystal, placed it between her lower abdomen, and prepared to absorb it.
But at that moment, the surrounding space suddenly trembled.
"Hmm, what's going on?" Lin Zhen stopped moving.
Suddenly, the spacetime rift began to close rapidly!
"Oh no! This Space Wandering Flower is the core of this spacetime rift. If we lose it, the rift will close! We'll be trapped in Different Dimension Space!"
Lin Zhen could no longer care about the other Star Crystal. He quickly put the Special Star Crystal into his Space Ring, stepped on his shield, and flew straight towards the disappearing Space Crack!
It was clearly too late! Lin Zhen's speed surged to its limit in a fraction of a second!
