Breaking Through Space (Fifth Update)

Hearing Su Mingyue's tone, Ye Lanshan was also shocked. After a long while, she said, "Ming Yue, you've changed. You seem to no longer... no longer have such faith in the Starry Sky True God. I haven't seen you pray in a long time."

"It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Instead of believing in those unrealistic things, it's better to work hard yourself. Gods won't save anyone."

"Nonsense! Is this what Holy Maiden should say? Who is spouting such fallacies?" Ye Lanshan was somewhat angry. She also came from the God's Grace Church and was naturally a believer of the Divine Sect.

"Lin Zhen said it." Su Mingyue's matter-of-fact tone left Ye Lanshan feeling powerless.

"Okay, I think you've been brainwashed by Lin Zhen. I really don't know what happened during the days you two were together, but Ming Yue, do you really think Lin Zhen will come to save you?"

Su Mingyue nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"In that case, as your senior, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"If Lin Zhen comes, regardless of his abilities, you must leave with him as quickly as possible, and absolutely cannot run into Tyrant."

Su Mingyue disagreed with Ye Lanshan's words at this moment. "Senior sister, I will soon complete the Ninefold Compression as well, and as far as I know, Yue Feng has not yet completed the Ninefold Compression. Even if he does, I believe I can fight him. Even if Lin Zhen cannot protect me, I can protect him."

"Ming Yue, do you know how many people there are in the Sky Dome? There are two hundred martial artists here, almost all of them are using compressed Dantian Qi. They all obey the Tyrant. Don't be fooled by the fact that Senior Sister is a deputy. She's just a figurehead. When it comes to a critical moment, these people still listen to the Tyrant."

"It's alright, Lin Zhen has helpers too," Su Mingyue replied calmly.

"Silly girl, you underestimate the Tyrant. Putting aside the issue of helpers, he has been Compressed Eightfold Dantian Qi for many years. If he wanted to, he could advance to the Ninefold Compression and break through to the War God at any time. So why hasn't he compressed to the ninth level yet? It's not that he doesn't have the ability, but that he's waiting."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Waiting for a Special Star Crystal."

Su Mingyue said, "So what if I wait for Special Star Crystal? I have also absorbed a Special Star Crystal before, and my Radiance Power is very strong now. I am not afraid of any Special Star Crystal."

"Hehe, although I don't know what the Special Star Crystal that Tyrant is waiting for is, I can tell you that Tyrant has absorbed three Special Star Crystal in recent years: speed, strength, and Mental Power. I don't even know the extent of his Mental Power. When he fights, he can crush martial artists of the same level just by relying on speed and strength, and even challenge those of higher levels. If he gets another Special Star Crystal, he will have absorbed a fourth one. Who will be his opponent then?"

Su Mingyue remained silent, clearly still somewhat unconvinced.

Ye Lanshan continued, "Alright! I'll tell you another piece of news. The Tyrant has three treasures. With these three treasures, he is practically invincible."

"What treasure?"

"Star Artifact!"

Upon hearing the words "Star Artifact, "Su Mingyue was taken aback. She naturally knew about Star Artifact; in fact, the Star Gazing Mirror she wore around her neck was also Star Artifact, but it had no practical combat capabilities.

"Yes, it's Star Artifact. The Tyrant has a Star Artifact Long Spear and a Star Artifact armor. These two treasures, one for offense and one for defense, plus his ability to break through to the strength of War God at any time, who can be his opponent?"

"He definitely can't beat Lin Zhen, even with two Star Artifact."

Ye Lanshan thought Su Mingyue's words were a bit mindless. This kind of blind worship was the most hopeless thing, but her junior sister seemed to believe that Lin Zhen was omnipotent, which made her feel helpless.

"Alright, alright, if you say you can't beat them, then you can't beat them. But let me finish what I have to say. The Tyrant has a special Star Artifact called Star Strike. It's said to come from an Ancient God Ruins's Star Strike Tianya. It's a needle, a disposable item, and it's on his Space Ring. I heard the Tyrant say that as long as it gets a little blood or scent on a person, he can use his Mental Power to pierce through their Mental Sea of Consciousness, that is, their brain, no matter where they are. Although I don't believe in the idea of Tianya,' within the range of the Star Fruit Tree, no one should be able to escape."

Su Mingyue blinked upon hearing this. "There are such amazing things?"

"Yes, that's why the Tyrant is almost invincible. Once that thing locks onto an aura, it's almost impossible to dodge. Although it's only a one-time use, if Lin Zhen is really strong enough that he can't beat her, he will definitely use this thing to deal with Lin Zhen. Without the strength of the Stellar Realm, you can't dodge the Star Strike. I advise you not to think about Lin Zhen anymore. Even if Lin Zhen comes, if she falls into the Tyrant's clutches, won't you be even more heartbroken?"

Su Mingyue remained silent for a while before finally asking, "Senior Sister, when you leave the Star Fruit Tree, will Yue Feng throw you a farewell banquet?"

"Of course he will. He's been busy making arrangements for me these days, but I think he's actually focusing more on preparing for his own wedding. A lot of the things he's doing are things you'll only need for your wedding."

Su Mingyue didn't respond to that, but instead said to Ye Lanshan, "Then when you leave, I'll come to see you off, and we'll be together."

"Hehe, okay, but Tyrant will be at the same table as me. Don't find it annoying to sit with him. I think he's quite nice."

Su Mingyue nodded slightly, her large eyes gazing out the window, her voice somewhat hazy. "I know my limits."

********

Inside the Space Crack, Lin Zhen slowly opened his eyes.

On the tree trunk, the last Star Crystal had just been absorbed and digested by him.

There is no day or night here, nor is there anything to tell time. Lin Zhen doesn't know how long he has been here, and can only calculate it by the time he absorbs Star Crystal.

"Finally finished! My estimation was still a bit off; the power of these Star Crystal is ridiculously strong. I actually managed to achieve Ninefold Compression!"

The 330 fully mature Star Crystal allowed Lin Zhen's cultivation level to soar from the fourth level to the ninth level. Each Star Crystal here contains energy equivalent to four or five crystals in the outside world.

Therefore, Lin Zhen completed the compression very quickly and has already taken a big step on the road to level nine.

He never expected that his talent in this life would allow him to attempt the Tenfold Compression. He is now absolutely certain that if he had some more Star Crystal, he could definitely achieve tenfold compression and advance to the War God level.

Unfortunately, there were no more Star Crystal left, and Lin Zhen was also quite anxious.

"I don't know what the situation is like outside. I've compressed it nine times. If I go out, I can easily defeat the Sky Dome Four Gods and go up to the Sky Dome to rescue people."

"But how exactly do I leave this Different Dimension Space?"

Lin Zhen arrived at the location of the Space Crack. By this time, his leg had fully recovered, and the power of the lightning had been absorbed by the Dark Star within his body, making the Dark Star even more powerful with electric snakes coiling around it.

There was a shield placed in the rift, the one that Lin Zhen had been struck down when he tried to leave last time. He hadn't moved the shield so that he wouldn't be unable to find the location of the Space Crack in the future, and now it came in handy.

Lin Zhen reached out and tried to touch the edge of the space, but there was only emptiness in front of him, and he couldn't touch anything at all.

I took a step forward, walking across without any hindrance, but I still didn't feel anything. After a few steps, I was still standing still.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, then suddenly used his telekinesis to Teleport!

It was as if he had bumped into an invisible wall. Lin Zhen had successfully Teleport, but he was still standing in the same spot.

"No, this method won't work. My Teleport can only be used to teleport within the same space, but it cannot cross Different Dimension Space. The Space Crack must be opened to get out."

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, then took out the Bright Silver Spear. After infusing it with Gold Qi, the Bright Silver Spear was covered with a layer of golden light, becoming incredibly heavy and sharp.

"Open it!"

Lin Zhen channeled his inner Dantian Qi, causing the tip of his spear to radiate golden light as he thrust it out fiercely!

The space fluctuated, and the crack in front of us rippled like lake water, with small ripples appearing and disappearing before returning to its original state.

"It's effective! But the intensity isn't enough!"

Lin Zhen was invigorated. He brandished his Bright Silver Spear and unleashed the Lightning Long River, thrusting out one spear after another, each strike landing at the same point.

But it's like rain falling into a lake; at most, it can only create a few ripples, but it can't create any waves at all.

The Space Crack remained there, calm and undisturbed, showing no signs of further cracking.

After launching countless attacks, Lin Zhen finally got tired and plopped down on the ground.

"It's still not working. Although I compressed my Dantian Qi nine times, the Space Crack is too stable. My attack still can't reach the power of heavenly lightning. It can only shake it, but it can't truly break through it."

Lin Zhen began to recall the Space Crack from her previous life.

In the previous life, when Extraterrestrial Civilization arrived, Earth's powerful beings began to resist, and battles frequently occurred. When those masters clashed, they could sometimes even tear through space, creating brief Space Crack.

However, those people are at least at the peak of the War God, or even Stellar Realm experts. They can slightly tear through space, which Lin Zhen does not yet possess.

"My current attack power is still a bit lacking, but my cultivation level can't be improved any further. How can I make my attacks stronger?"

"Even being a little stronger isn't enough. I need to unleash an attack comparable to the late or even peak stage of War God to even slightly break open a Space Crack."

"Just a little bit is enough. As long as I can slightly open a tiny crack, even as small as a pinhole, and let a little bit of Earth's energy in, I can Teleport away."

Lin Zhen closed his eyes, searching for a way to increase his strength.

Today, I'm adding a third chapter as a bonus, to honor the book's mighty and domineering Alliance Leader (Tian Hao Yu).
