Lightning Photons, Regaining Freedom! (Sixth Update Arrives)
For some time afterward, Lin Zhen made many attempts, using all the methods he could, but the Space Barrier remained as solid as ever, only rippled but did not crack.
"What should I do? What should I do? Am I going to be trapped here and die?"
After a period of struggle, Lin Zhen had depleted a lot of his internal Dantian Qi, so he could only sit down and regulate his breathing to allow his Dantian Qi to recover a little.
Just as he was recovering his Dantian Qi, he suddenly saw the Dark Star within his Dantian.
The Dark Star still floated there, as if it didn't exist, merging with the Dantian.
Dark Star currently provides Lin Zhen with Gravity, but this is not the most important thing. Only when he reaches the Stellar Realm will Dark Star truly demonstrate its power.
At this moment, wisps of electricity surged across the Dark Star. It was originally formed from a Lightning Core, containing the power of lightning within. Now, replenished by the power of heavenly lightning from outside, the current on it became even stronger, seemingly brewing a Lightning Storm.
"Lightning!"
A sudden thought flashed through Lin Zhen's mind: when he entered the Space Crack, it was lightning that split the space open, which meant that the power generated by a lightning strike in an instant was enough to break through space.
Of course, it's also possible that the Space Crack here has cracked multiple times and is no longer very stable, but Lin Zhen saw hope.
"I can use Lightning Ions at any time now, but ultimately, Lightning Ions represent the speed of lightning, while the real destructive power of lightning is generated by photons. I can only resonate with ions, but I cannot resonate with photons."
"If ions and photons combine, they can almost produce real lightning, or at least the power will be greatly increased."
"I never thought of absorbing Lightning Photon right away, but now that I've reached a dead end, why not give it a try?"
Having thought this through, Lin Zhen made up his mind. He sat cross-legged on the spot, and his internal Dantian Qi. The Dark Star also began to circulate.
The ions that are everywhere in the body's meridians and bones are also mobilized, resonating with the Lightning Power between the Dark Star.
Soon, Lin Zhen entered a wonderful state.
His Mental Power entered the Dark Star, and he clearly saw the world inside the Dark Star.
This place is composed of energy bodies, Dark Matter, Lightning Ions, Lightning Photon, Lightning Atom, and wisps of Freezing Qi.
Those Freezing Qi Lin Zhen knew that they were formed when Zhaodong absorbed too much Blizzard power, and had become deeply rooted in the Dark Star.
When Lin Zhen's Lightning Ions entered, they could only resonate with the ions inside the Dark Star, while the larger Lightning Photon and the small golden Lightning Atom remained completely unaffected.
"These things haven't resonated with me yet. Lightning Atom represent the fundamental power of lightning, and I can't touch them for the time being. I simply don't have that ability. I can only try to resonate with Lightning Photon step by step."
With a thought, Lin Zhen's Mental Power enveloped a Lightning Photon.
"Ah!"
The Lightning Photon was like a slippery eel; just as Lin Zhen's Mental Power was about to cover it, it suddenly slid to the side with incredible speed.
"This little thing actually knows how to dodge. I don't believe I can't catch you."
Lin Zhen became interested, Mental Power, like an invisible net, once again rushed towards the Lightning Photon.
But just as he was about to succeed, Lightning Photon miraculously dodged again, like a high-speed bullet that could turn corners, preventing Lin Zhen from getting close at all.
Lin Zhen refused to believe it and tried again and again, only to fail each time. After more than ten attempts, Lin Zhen finally concluded in frustration that the Lightning Photon was part of the lightning itself, and that it was impossible to catch it by speed alone.
It can easily seize and evade even the slightest flaw.
"It seems this won't work; I need to try a different approach."
"Covering the area with Mental Power is useless; there can't be even the slightest gap. The only method I still have is that Mental Power restraint technique— Soul Lock!"
"Soul Lock is invisible, yet it can imprison a soul. While the soul itself is invisible, Mental Power can also affect Lightning Photon and can be captured with Mental Power. Why don't I try Soul Lock?"
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen secretly used the Soul Lock.
Soul Lock uses Mental Power to form a confinement, tightly binding a person's sea of consciousness. Martial artists believe that a person's soul exists in the brain, and as long as the sea of consciousness is confined, the opponent's soul cannot escape.
In fact, Soul Lock is also a use of Mental Power, and it should be effective against Lightning Photon as well.
Sure enough, the photon was completely unaware of the Soul Lock's approach. When the Soul Lock was activated, the photon immediately began to struggle violently, but it was unable to move an inch!
"Haha! Great, it really works. As long as I can imprison you, I can make you resonate with me. Once you can resonate with one Lightning Photon, the other photons will automatically resonate, and everything will be fine."
Lin Zhen began to inject his Mental Power into the Lightning Photon, tightly enveloping it. This time, it was truly a perfect seal, without the slightest gap.
With the Soul Lock removed, Photon lost his escape route and could only be enveloped by Lin Zhen.
However, Lin Zhen did not expect that resonating with the Lightning Photon would be such a long process. His Mental Power injection encountered strong resistance, and the repeated tug-of-war lasted for a whole day.
Fortunately, this photon had completely separated from the other photons, was unable to move, and had lost its subsequent power, so it was eventually successfully resonated with by Lin Zhen.
After a day, the Lightning Photon finally stopped resisting.
Lin Zhen could even feel the photons emitting a faint joy, just like the Lightning Ions within his body, which had become a part of him.
"Come on, Little Treasure, let all your friends come out!"
With Lin Zhen's command, the Lightning Photon within the Dark Star exploded, gushing outwards like a continuously exploding firework.
Countless Lightning Photon roamed throughout Lin Zhen's body, and the power they contained was once again injected into Lin Zhen's body, merging with the Lightning Ions.
The combination of photons and ions has already formed the rudiments of lightning, but lacking the most basic atoms, Lin Zhen still cannot summon heavenly thunder at will. However, he can use his weapon to unleash photons and ions simultaneously. Although not as powerful as heavenly thunder, its power is still very strong.
Another day has passed, and Lin Zhen's body has finally been fully enhanced by the photons.
He opened his eyes and clenched his fists.
"Wow! What incredible power! I thought the Ninefold Compression of my Dantian Qi was enough, and that there was little room for improvement before tenfold compression. But after obtaining this Lightning Photon, my power has experienced another explosive increase. My pure power is now enough to crush ordinary Junior God of War, and even weaker Intermediate God of War!"
With a clenched fist, Lin Zhen's palm crackled and popped like popping beans, scattering golden arcs of electricity in all directions—the power of lightning!
Slowly standing up, Lin Zhen first walked around this Different Dimension Space, and then came to the small tree.
"I may be leaving soon, but I want to thank you for surviving in the shattered space and for giving birth to so many Star Crystal and a Space-Time Wandering Flower, which finally allowed me to see a glimmer of hope in my difficult situation."
Gently stroking the tree trunk, Lin Zhen raised his finger, and a Golden Rays, an inch long, spilled from between his fingers, lightly carving a few words on the tree.
"Lin Zhen's Little Tree."
"If one day things change here, I hope you can return to your space, return to your original world, and no longer have to live as a sojourner in a foreign land."
After doing all this, Lin Zhen walked down the hill.
He came to the front of the Space Crack and picked up the shield that served as a marker.
"If I can get out, it will still serve as my flying vehicle. If I can't get out, there's no point in keeping this shield. I might never be able to get out."
After saying that, Lin Zhen took out the Bright Silver Spear again.
As the energy circulated, the Gold Qi was once again injected into the Bright Silver Spear, covering it with a layer of golden light, making the Bright Silver Spear appear as if it were cast from gold.
Then Lin Zhen circulated his Dantian Qi again, and the Dantian Qi, compressed nine times, began to accumulate.
The aura grew stronger and stronger, until it reached its limit!
"I have never felt so powerful before, but these alone are not enough to break through the Space Crack."
"Come forth, my lightning!"
The Dark Star within his body began to operate rapidly, and countless Lightning Ions and photons were injected into Lin Zhen's body, causing countless Electric Light sparks to swirl all over his body, and crackling silver snakes to leap on his body surface.
With his feet on the shield, Lin Zhen used his Mental Power to propel his body rapidly through the space, making a large circle.
The speed increased faster and faster, until Lin Zhen reached the front of the Space Crack, his speed had already soared to its limit.
Almost leaving a long trail of afterimages in the air, Lin Zhen pointed his Bright Silver Spear, and golden electricity surged!
"Break through this spatial barrier! Let me return to the outside world!"
"Ha! Open!"
The Long Spear is drawn, using the most basic Spear Art: a thrust.
This simple move, when executed by Lin Zhen, exuded Killing Aura!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
A violent collision occurred at one point in the Space Crack!
The tip of the spear touched this point, and countless electric snakes spun around it, like a spinning golden windmill.
Lin Zhen unleashed a devastating burst of energy from his Dantian Qi, combining the speed of Lightning Ions with the power of Lightning Photon to deliver an unprecedentedly powerful attack!
It was as if something had shattered at that moment.
A glimmer of light, a ray of light representing hope and freedom, poured in through the tiny hole. After three months, the Star Fruit Tree outside once again opened its doors to Lin Zhen!
"To everyone outside, I, Lin Zhen, am back!"
With a flash of movement and Mind Power Teleportation, Lin Zhen disappeared into the Different Dimension Space!
Today, I'm adding a fourth chapter as an extra chapter, to celebrate the book's lewd yet handsome sect leader (Chopped Chili Fish Head, Old Duck Soup).
