Advance to Level Seven God of War!

Fire Mountain is located between Crane Cry Lake Volcano and Wishful Lake Volcano, about ten kilometers apart.

There are natural barriers of thick Blazing Fire around here, as well as Poison Mist from White Dragon Lake, making it virtually impossible for people to get here.

This Fire Mountain, it seems, has been consuming some kind of potent tonic, erupting almost continuously for countless years, as if lava from the Earth's core is constantly surging upwards, without end.

It can be said that Fire Mountain deserves a large part of the credit for the formation of the Ancient God Ruins in Wudalianchi.

From a distance, the sky was filled with thick smoke, and streaks of lightning occasionally flashed across the sky. The fire and lava, carrying thick volcanic ash, looked like a giant natural chimney, spewing garbage into the sky.

Lin Zhen took a few steps uphill, then slowly stopped.

"In the past, all the special Meteorite inside the five volcanoes of Wudalianchi were obtained by Extraterrestrial Civilization, which made Wudalianchi famous. However, there is a legend about Huoshaoshan (Fire Mountain)."

"The reason why Fire Mountain has been erupting continuously for years and formed the Ancient God Ruins is that when the Leonid Meteor Shower fell, a Meteorite broke through the earth's crust, causing the lava in the earth's core to surge up and form a volcano that is almost never-ending."

"But after I checked the data, I found that no Meteorite has the ability to penetrate the earth's crust, so there must be another reason for the long-term eruption of the gas-induced volcano."

Lin Zhen's memories surfaced one by one. When Extraterrestrial Civilization almost ruled the world, a strange change occurred at Fire Mountain.

An unknown creature burst out of the mountain and, despite the fact that Earth was almost entirely blocked by Extraterrestrial Civilization, it actually rushed into space. Along the way, it burned two Interstellar Battleship with towering Blazing Fire, causing great losses to the Extraterrestrial Civilization.

The creature left after burning the Interstellar Battleship. It was not human and had no awareness of resisting invasion.

Eventually, people reached a consensus that there was a Star River Beast inside the Fire Mountain!

The so-called Star River Beast are beasts that live in the universe and starry sky. Once they grow up, their potential is almost limitless.

Star River Beast are born with the power of the Stellar Realm, and as they grow, they can even reach the Comet Stage in their early years.

Once it enters the growth stage, its strength will increase by leaps and bounds. When it first enters the growth stage, it basically has the strength of the Satellite Stage, and when it reaches the peak of the growth stage, it has the strength of the Star Stage.

When it matures, this thing can even reach the strength of the Star Region Stage, which can be described as unique.

Lin Zhen hadn't initially included the Star River Beast in his plans. Even though it was newly born, it was something he couldn't handle at his current level.

But since he had come all this way, Lin Zhen was also eager to go and see what the legendary Star River Beast was really like, since no one in the Fire Star River Beast Fire Mountain had ever seen its true form.

However, upon arriving at the foot of Fire Mountain, Lin Zhen did not rush up the mountain but stayed there, deciding to cultivate there first.

As for Star River Beast and such, they are too far-fetched; only strength is fundamental.

Lin Zhen stopped at the foot of the mountain and took out the crystal from his Space Ring.

He has already collected a lot of crystals, so advancing to the peak of level six is not a problem; it just takes a little time.

After settling down in a secluded place, Lin Zhen began to recover his Mental Power. He had lost a significant amount of Mental Power while passing through the Poison Mist and needed some time to recover.

The Lightning Wings flapped behind him again, and the power of the Lightning Ions continued to nurture it. This kind of thing needs constant nurturing to advance. It's only at twice the speed of sound now, and it's still a long way from the second stage.

For a period of time afterward, Lin Zhen was completely immersed in cultivation. When he was tired, he would lie down to rest for a while or meditate to regulate his breathing.

If you get hungry, Lin Zhen has crabs in his Space Ring; you can just eat some crab meat.

There are many lava rocks here at Fire Mountain, and many of them are still hot. Lin Zhen used Gravity to grab a piece, and the crab meat was easily cooked. After peeling off the shell, it tasted pretty good.

Days passed by like this, and Lin Zhen stayed here like a Wild Man. In the blink of an eye, two and a half months had passed since he entered Wudalianchi.

Nearly four years had passed since Lin Zhen's rebirth, and another winter had arrived.

The outside world is constantly changing. Since the secret of the Poison Insect Crystal was exposed, many War God have made considerable progress.

Especially those participants in the God of War Arena, who are the best among the War God, are making rapid progress.

Pogba, from the African Union, was originally an Level Eight God of War. He has now advanced to a Level Nine God of War and joined forces with another African Union War God to kill the S-level Mutated Lion that conquered the Cape Town Base City.

When they brought back the three heads of the S-class Mutated Lion, the African Union was shaken.

Another War God said that he contributed very little, and that the killing of the S-Class Mutated Beast was mainly due to Pogba's efforts. This led people to believe that Pogba had reached a level of strength close to that of Kholov, and that he might be able to win the God of War Arena.

Then came the shocking revelation that Sangji, the War God"Base City Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, personally killed an S-class anaconda in the rainforest.

This is an independent kill of S-Class Mutated Beast, which is comparable to Kholov's achievement.

Then news came one after another: Omar and Shahan from the India Zone joined forces to kill S-Class Mutated Beast on the outskirts of Mumbai!

American War God Doc ventures into the wild, slays the S-Class Mutated Beast Cougar, and sets his sights on the God of War Arena Champion!

Tang Wenbo and Feng Ni, Huaxia from Huaxia, killed the S-Class Mutated Beast, the South China Tiger and the Northwest Wolf King, respectively, becoming rising stars in Huaxia.

Then came the news that the EU War God Al, had killed the S-Class Mutated Beast, the Grizzly Bear.

Just when people were becoming somewhat numb to the killing of S-Class Mutated Beast, news broke that Chris, the EU War God, had personally killed S-Class Mutated Beast, Great White Shark, in the Mediterranean Sea, which shocked the world.

Great White Shark are no ordinary S-Class Mutated Beast. In the ocean, they are incredibly powerful, far surpassing any S-Class Mutated Beast on land. This makes Chris a favorite to win the championship once again.

People were even more astonished by her talent, considering she was only twenty years old.

Just when many people said that Kholov might have no hope of winning the championship, Kholov posted a photo in the Arctic region.

Under the Arctic sunlight, the corpses of three S-Class Mutated Beast lay at his feet: a Mutated Polar Bear, a Mutated Tiger Shark, and a Mutated Walrus.

Kholov also said, "You're all playing games I've already played. I've now reached the Quasi-Star Realm, the Champion is mine, and no one can take it away from me."

Kholov's advancement to the Quasi-Star Realm caused a global uproar, since the God of War Arena didn't allow Quasi-Star Realm participants.

When people raised questions about this, the World God of War Alliance provided a response.

When War God registers for the competition, those at the Quasi-Star Realm are indeed not allowed to participate. However, it is permissible to make a breakthrough during the God of War Arena. A War God's eligibility cannot be revoked simply because they have made a breakthrough.

Currently, the World God of War Alliance only consists of three countries: the European Union, Tsarist Russia, America. Whatever they say goes.

Later, more and more news broke that people like Doc from the America and Al from the European Union had actually advanced to the Quasi-Star Realm. Obviously, this was the result of a joint discussion among the three parties, and the others had no choice but to accept it.

Among the contestants, the only two who kept a low profile were Su Mingyue, the God Sect Saintess, and Lin Zhen.

Su Mingyue disappeared for more than two months and only reappeared a week after the start of the God of War Arena. People did not know where she went. They only felt that Su Mingyue was becoming more and more calm and beautiful, and her beauty was captivating. However, no one knew how strong she was, and no one had seen her fight.

Lin Zhen is the only exception. There has been no news of Lin Zhen. He has been cornered in Wudalianchi by Yue Zhenhua for two months, and there has been no news at all. It's as if he has simply vanished into thin air.

In Wudalianchi, while many War God were collecting crystals, they were also keeping an eye on Yue Zhenhua's situation.

Yue Zhenhua, along with Ma Yao and Wei Li, blocked the edge of the Poison Mist at White Dragon Lake. During this time, his cultivation level had reached the edge of a breakthrough, and he felt that he could enter the Stellar Realm at any time, but he just couldn't break through. There was a feeling of suffocation in his chest that made him extremely uncomfortable. Only by eliminating Lin Zhen could he dispel his frustration.

Yue Zhenhua spent his days eating, drinking, and cultivating, eagerly awaiting Lin Zhen's appearance.

Not only him, but many people are also concerned about Lin Zhen's fate, wondering if this genius will still have the opportunity to participate in the God of War Arena.

At Lin Zhen's home, his father, Lin Liye, and mother, Li Qin, were already Level Five Warrior, but they had no heart for cultivation these past few days, waiting for news of their son.

********

At the Fire Mountain, an object covered in thick ash, unrecognizable as human, moved slightly.

"Snap!"

A speck of dust fell off.

Then more dust settled, and Lin Zhen shook his head and stood up unsteadily.

"Phew! This place is really not clean. If I don't move for a day, I'll be covered in dust. Compared to this, the Star Fruit Tree is paradise."

Lin Zhen clenched his fist, and the Lightning Wings behind him flapped twice to disperse the dust.

"This was exhilarating! These past two months of arduous training not only allowed me to break through to the Level Six God of War, but after using all the Dark Energy Stone I collected, I even exceeded my expectations and reached the Level Seven God of War Mid Stage!"

"I'm Advanced God of War now!"

With a flap of his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen's body rose into the air. At this moment, his Mental Power had improved again. He was previously at the Dark Gold Late Stage, but now he was close to the Dark Gold Pinnacle.

Furthermore, the Lightning Wings has been upgraded again, and it is now three times the speed of sound, capable of flying 1020 meters per second, which is basically one kilometer per second.

"Yue Zhenhua, if you dare to chase me again, I guarantee you won't even see my taillights. But I believe you won't have the chance to catch me anymore. I'm absolutely not afraid of you now."

After flying at high speed in the air for two circles, Lin Zhen looked around.

With a week to go before the start of the God of War Arena, he has a few Xuan Ze: he can try challenging the Poison Scorpion at Crane Cry Lake, go back to deal with Yue Zhenhua, or go to Fire Mountain to see the Star River Beast he has never seen before.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhen turned to the left. He wanted to see what the Star River Beast was.

This is the first guaranteed update.
