Lin Zhen plunged headfirst into the Leaf, hoping to teleport away Teleport. However, the Leaf seemed to be alive, wrapping him up so quickly that they Lin Zhen without leaving a single gap.

Even if there were only a tiny space leading to the outside world, Lin Zhen could leave by Teleport continuously. However, in a completely isolated situation, Teleport would not find the next spatial coordinates, making it impossible to leave no matter what.

Even more critically, a drop of green liquid dripped from Leaf and landed on Lin Zhen's clothes.

"Sizzle!"

Lin Zhen's clothes immediately tore open with a large hole, which frightened Lin Zhen so much that she immediately threw the clothes off. If this green liquid were to get on her skin, even a single drop could expose the Bone.

As the second drop of liquid fell, Lin Zhen used his Liquid Metal to form a shield to block it. However, as more and more liquid fell, he could no longer hold on, and water began to accumulate below, so he dared not let his feet touch the ground.

During this time, he tried to use Liquid Metal to transform into Long Sword to break through the Leaf, but he couldn't do it at all. The Leaf were as tough as spatial barriers, truly worthy of being an extraterrestrial species, incredibly magical.

Left with no other choice, Lin Zhen had to resort to his last move.

Mental Power shield.

A faint golden light enveloped Lin Zhen, who sat cross-legged inside the sphere of light, letting the acid drip down.

The acid fell and slid off the Mental Power shield like rain without causing any harm. As expected, the Mental Power shield could defend against this acid, which temporarily saved Lin Zhen's life.

"What good is surviving temporarily? I'll eventually die here from Mental Power. This shield can only hold for a day and a night at most, and then I can't hold on any longer. Before that, what miracles might happen?"

Lin Zhen racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to counteract the acid and the Leaf.

Perhaps at his peak, he could have used Lightning Photon and ions to bombard the acid, and the power of lightning could have evaporated it, but he can no longer do that now.

Perhaps if he could advance further and become War God, he could break this Leaf ball, but he no longer has Star Crystal. If he had known that Ming Yue had left long ago, he should have absorbed another Star Crystal, advanced to War God, and then come back here.

But things in this world are just so coincidental. He was just one Star Crystal short, and he didn't complete the final advancement. This step may be a regret forever.

However, Lin Zhen was not one to give up easily. He rummaged through his Space Ring, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find a solution. Now that he had even lost his Bright Silver Spear, what else could he do?

He even found a few simple Marching Stone rings inside his Space Ring, which he obtained by killing other martial artists.

He had already looked through everything in there and found nothing of value, but he still searched with a glimmer of hope, only to be disappointed once again.

Finally, he saw a ring.

This was also a Marching Stone ring. He had even forgotten about its existence before. Ye Lanshan had just given it to him, saying that Su Mingyue had left it for him.

"Ming Yue is indeed clever; she managed to come up with a way to Substitution Trick with her senior sister. I guess she's already back in the Capital City by now. As long as she's safe, that's all that matters."

"What could be inside this ring? Delicious food, or some kind of cultivation technique? It's a pity I don't have time to cultivate any techniques now."

"Let's see, maybe Ming Yue will give me a surprise."

Thinking this, Lin Zhen opened the ring.

The ring was filled with soil, on which there were specks of new green, a glimmer of light, a spark of starlight, and a touch of silver radiance, all radiating an incomparably pure light.

The warriors below cheered loudly, "The Tyrant has won!"

"Lin Zhen is finished. No one who went into the Corrosive Leaves came out alive. He will definitely rot until not even Bone fragments are left."

"You're courting death! See that? This is called throwing an egg against a rock. This is what happens when you go against Tyrant!"

"The Tyrant is invincible! Long live the Tyrant!"

Yue Feng sat on a high tree branch, ignoring the martial artists below. In his view, these martial artists were no longer of any value.

He had already advanced to the rank of War God, and he absolutely could not stay in the Star Fruit Tree for more than three days, otherwise he would surely die. Before that, he had to see Lin Zhen die.

It's estimated that Su Mingyue has returned to the Capital City Base City and to the God's Grace Cathedral.

If we were to say that Yue Feng or his father Yue Zhenhua had anyone they were wary of, then the Great God Sect would definitely be one of them.

The Great God Sect of the God's Grace Cathedral is Stellar Realm expert, a contemporary of the number one expert Chen Fenglie, and an old acquaintance of Yue Zhenhua. His strength is unfathomable. If Su Mingyue really returns to Divine Grace Cathedral and has the Great God Sect's protection, Yue Feng really wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the Church.

If he wants to get Su Mingyue in the future, he must first get rid of Lin Zhen, otherwise Yue Feng probably won't have much of a chance.

Therefore, he was determined to see Lin Zhen die. He believed that Lin Zhen could not possibly stay in the Corrosive Leaves for three days; he might rot in no time.

The Corrosive Leaves were incredibly tough, almost as strong as Star Artifact Armor. Once encased inside, the corrosive acid would automatically drip down, and no one could withstand it for long. Trying to break free was futile. Only when the life inside was completely extinguished would the Leaf automatically disperse.

This is why the insects inside the Star Fruit Tree never leave the tree to go outside, because they simply cannot leave.

He stayed there watching, and only felt at ease after watching Lin Zhen die.

But after waiting for a full hour, Lin Zhen still didn't come out. Deep in the bushes, the ball wrapped in Leaf was still there, refusing to disperse.

Yue Feng could no longer sit still. He stood up and paced back and forth on the tree branch. "What happened? How did it fall to the ground? Why hasn't Lin Zhen been corroded by the Leaf yet? How did he manage to hold on?"

At this moment, a martial artist below, who was also a Mind Power Master, flew up and came to Yue Feng's side to comfort him, "Don't worry, Tyrant, these Corrosive Leaves are extremely terrifying. No matter what kind of person or thing goes in, it will not survive. Lin Zhen may have some means to hold on for a while, but he definitely can't hold on for long."

Yue Feng took a couple of deep breaths. "But it's been an hour already, and no one has ever been able to stay inside for that long before."

The martial artist had originally intended to flatter him, but he couldn't answer this question. After hesitating for a moment, he scratched his head and said, "Could it be that this Leaf doesn't have any corrosive properties?"

Yue Feng's eyes lit up. "That's a real problem. But we'll find out if we try."

"This is a good idea. How do we try it?" the martial artist asked, looking up.

"Heh! You came here willingly, are you planning to sacrifice yourself for the Tyrant and become his guinea pig?"

Upon hearing this, the martial artist was terrified. "No, no, no! Tyrant, you must be joking! I'll go down and bring up a dead man for you to try!"

"But the Tyrant can't wait any longer, get over there!"

As he spoke, Yue Feng suddenly grabbed the Mind Power Master's clothes and flung him into the Corrosive Leaves.

The man let out a scream, but before he could finish, he was enveloped by the Corrosive Leaves, and his scream was trapped inside.

The Corrosive Leaves writhed and crumbled in less than a minute, releasing a clump of foul-smelling pus.

A Mind Power Master with five layers of compression was used as a test subject by Yue Feng, and his body was never recovered.

The martial artists below were horrified by what they saw.

Yue Feng is now a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. With his imminent departure from the Star Fruit Tree, he is even more reckless in his actions. Everyone is terrified and dares not even utter a word of flattery.

No one dared to move or leave; they all stared blankly at the sphere encased in Corrosive Leaves, praying that the Leaf would open soon.

Once Lin Zhen dies, the Tyrant's temper will probably subside, and they will be free from his wrath sooner.

Yue Feng killed someone and also tested that the Corrosive Leaves were still as deadly and terrifying as before, which put him at ease. He was certain that Lin Zhen would not be able to escape.

The battle had taken a toll on him, so he simply sat there to recover slowly and wait for the outcome.

As they waited, time You You passed.

Two hours passed, and Lin Zhen still hadn't come out.

Three hours later, Lin Zhen still didn't make a sound. The clump of Leaf seemed to be dead there, wrapped up but not moving, as if it were wrapping up a stone.

Five hours later, Yue Feng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. It was already dark, but there was still no sign of Lin Zhen. What if he really survived and escaped under the cover of night?

Fortunately, the weather cooperated today, and a big, bright Ming Yue rose in the evening. Under the silvery moonlight, the ball of Leaf was still clearly visible.

Yue Feng stared intently without sleep until the moon was high in the sky, his eyelids aching and his legs numb, but he still saw no sign of Lin Zhen emerging, nor any sign of decay.

"What's going on? I'm so uncomfortable here. The aura of the Star Fruit Tree is repelling me. It seems that the saying that three days is enough to kill someone is definitely true. I advanced to the War God this morning and spent a long time meditating. It's been a day and a night since then, and this uncomfortable aura is getting stronger and stronger. Maybe I can't last three days."

"Two days, at most two days. Regardless of whether Lin Zhen comes out or not, I have to leave. After all, my own life is the most important thing."

Yue Feng was in no mood to get angry at this moment. Every minute he stayed here was torture. If it weren't for waiting for the results, he would have already returned to the Capital City Base City.

He rubbed the Space Ring on his hand, on which a venomous snake was flicking its tongue.

Time passed second by second, and the once clear night sky was gradually covered with a layer of dark clouds. The bright moon could no longer be seen, and another thunderstorm was about to arrive in the Star Fruit Tree.

Today I'm adding a seventh chapter, an extra chapter for the book's Alliance Leader (Tian Hao Yu). Hehe, there'll be more later, so don't go away.
