Overlord Body Stone Transformation
Lin Zhen knew that Little Warm had sensed the threat of the S-Class Mutated Venom Scorpion in front of her, so he immediately comforted her Little Warm not to be agitated.
S-rank Mutated Beast correspond to the power of the Stellar Realm. Although Mutated Beast of the same rank are generally not as strong as martial artists, their power is still considerable. Lin Zhen did not want Little Warm to take any risks.
Although the Star River Beast is born with the power of the Stellar Realm, Little Warm is now equivalent to an S-Class Mutated Beast, there is more than one Poison Scorpion at Crane Cry Lake.
Lin Zhen also wanted to test whether he could defeat S-Class Mutated Beast.
Lin Zhen told Little Warm to stay where she was and not to move.
Little Warm seemed to understand Lin Zhen's meaning, and she really sat there without moving, her long tail swaying a few times.
Lin Zhen threw it a large piece of crab meat and then headed towards Crane Cry Lake alone.
Just as he got close, a Poison Scorpion rose from the lake and pounced on Lin Zhen at high speed.
Lin Zhen drew his Broken Jade Long Spear and resolutely went to meet him!
"Clang clang clang!"
After several clashes with the Poison Scorpion's pincers, Lin Zhen's confidence soared.
His speed and strength are already barely enough to contend with the Poison Scorpion, and with various other means, killing S-Class Mutated Beast is not impossible.
Lin Zhen was in perfect condition and used all his skills. The battle lasted for about half an hour.
"Thunder Kill!"
Lin Zhen dodged the Poison Scorpion's tail with a Teleport, pierced its abdomen with a single shot, Thunder Kill destroyed its internal organs, exiting from its back!
The Poison Scorpion, severely wounded, tried to escape, but Lin Zhen Teleport above it once more and struck its head with Thunder Kill once more, completely eliminating the S-Class Mutated Beast.
"Phew! This is so difficult. No wonder the War God stage uses the killing of S-Class Mutated Beast as a benchmark for measuring strength. I am currently in the Level Seven God of War Mid Stage, and it takes me half an hour to kill a Poison Scorpion. This is almost the difficulty of fighting above my level."
After Lin Zhen killed the Poison Scorpion, he took out its crystal and was wondering what to do with the corpse when Little Warm came running over and pounced on the Poison Scorpion's body to devour it.
Lin Zhen had just witnessed Little Warm swallow a large amount of lava in one gulp, and was already somewhat used to its astonishing appetite, but he still felt that this guy ate too fast.
The carcass of an S-Class Mutated Beast, the size of a small car, was completely devoured by it in just a few minutes.
However, this time the little guy seemed to have really eaten his fill. After finishing his meal, his eyelids drooped a bit, and he lay down and fell asleep.
As a newborn Star River Beast, it gets tired easily and naturally wants to sleep after eating too much.
Lin Zhen held Little Warm, unsure of what to do.
The Space Ring is a complete vacuum, so living things cannot be placed inside. Helpless, Lin Zhen had to put it on his back and temporarily make it into a small nest with Liquid Metal. Since it was only the size of a small dog, it was enough to fit in the middle of the Lightning Wings.
After settling the baby-like Star River Beast, Lin Zhen headed back to Crane Cry Lake.
He already had a plan for finding the Cinnabar Stone in Crane Cry Lake. Although he was now able to defeat S-Class Mutated Beast, there were too many of them, so he could only lure them in.
Currently, with the Lightning Wings accelerating to three times the speed of sound, it's enough to easily outrun the Poison Scorpion, and Lin Zhen thinks this method is feasible.
As they approached the lake, five or six more Poison Scorpion flew out. Lin Zhen immediately flapped his Lightning Wings and took off, flying over the lake!
As Lin Zhen passed by, countless Poison Scorpion rose from the lake, densely swarming and following Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen remained calm and followed his plan, zigzagging across the lake, attracting swarms of Poison Scorpion to take flight like locusts.
However, Lin Zhen's speed now far surpasses that of the Poison Scorpion. Although there are many Poison Scorpion, they still cannot catch up with Lin Zhen. Moreover, Lin Zhen has the Teleport, which allows him to escape when he encounters an Teleport.
Behind him, the dense Poison Scorpion resembled Black Cloud, numbering in the thousands, yet they could not harm Lin Zhen in the slightest. After flying over the lake for five minutes, seeing that no more Poison Scorpion were taking to the air, Lin Zhen quickly flew away into the distance.
Don't increase the speed too much, so that the Poison Scorpion can keep up as much as possible. After flying about a thousand meters, it is about to leave the area of Crane Cry Lake. If it goes beyond this distance, the Poison Scorpion will stop chasing.
Lin Zhen suddenly Teleport!
After a Teleport, the Lightning Wings activated triple acceleration, and in the blink of an eye, it flew a thousand meters away before Teleport again.
The swarm of Poison Scorpion suddenly lost their target and lingered in the air for a while before gradually returning to Crane Cry Lake.
It took about four or five minutes from when Lin Zhen disappeared to when the Poison Scorpion swarm returned to Crane Cry Lake. During this time, Lin Zhen, with the speed of his Lightning Wings, had already explored about one-tenth of the bottom of Crane Cry Lake.
Once the Poison Scorpion returned, Lin Zhen left the lake and began the second wave of attracting Poison Scorpion.
This time, Lin Zhen's luck wasn't too bad. On the fifth attempt, he finally found the special Meteorite at the bottom of the lake.
Cinnabar Stone!
Cinnabar Stone is entirely red and contains natural antibodies that make one immune to all poisons after absorption.
After obtaining the stone, Lin Zhen immediately returned to the safe area of Fire Mountain and began to meditate and absorb its essence.
About three hours later, Lin Zhen completely absorbed the Cinnabar Stone.
After absorbing Cinnabar Stone, there were no visible changes in his body, but Lin Zhen knew that every cell in his body had undergone subtle changes, and an antibody had appeared inside.
After absorption was complete, Little Warm on its back was still sleeping soundly; such an intense battle had not affected its sleep at all.
Lin Zhen got up again and flew towards White Dragon Lake.
Although he wanted to stay at Crane Cry Lake a little longer and harvest some S-grade Poison Scorpion Crystals, the speed of killing the Poison Scorpion was too slow, and time was running out, so he had to leave.
Back in the Poison Mist Zone, Lin Zhen first enveloped himself in Mental Power shield before entering the Poison Mist, and then tentatively extended a finger.
No response!
Lin Zhen was overjoyed. Sure enough, this antibody could resist the invasion of toxins, so the Poison Mist would have no effect on him.
The only problem now is the White Water Boa beneath the lake.
However, these near-S-class Mutated Beast posed far less of a threat to Lin Zhen than the Poison Scorpion. As long as Lin Zhen didn't venture too deep into the water python swarm, there wouldn't be much of a problem. He entered the Poison Mist Zone and began clearing out the swarms along the riverbank.
The pythons kept attacking Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen was able to kill two pythons almost every minute. The battle lasted for a full four hours, and the number of White Water Boa on the lake shore gradually decreased.
The blood almost stained the lake red. The White Water Boa wasn't entirely without intelligence; it began to gradually distance itself from the human who could easily kill it.
Without the White Water Boa's attack, Lin Zhen collected hundreds of near-S-grade crystals and was finally able to successfully enter the water.
About three hours later, Lin Zhen emerged from the lake and returned to the Fire Mountain area. He now had another Meteorite in his hand: the Overlord Body Stone!
The Overlord Body Stone is a black Meteorite.
It's not ordinary black, not just any black, but pure black.
The blackness resembled an endless night; on this stone, Lin Zhen could not find a single trace of any other color.
Holding it in his hand, it weighed over a hundred kilograms, and Lin Zhen could feel the vitality and energy contained within it.
"That's great. All this trouble has been for you. Only by absorbing the Overlord Body Stone can I achieve the greatest improvement in my strength and become the capital to compete for the God of War Arena."
Looking at the time, Lin Zhen realized there were only four days left until the start of the God of War Arena Semifinals, so he immediately began absorbing the Overlord Body Stone.
First, Lin Zhen took the Little Warm off his back and put it aside. Then, he unbuttoned his clothes and placed the Overlord Body Stone in Dantian lower abdomen.
Silently circulating his Dantian Qi, the energy within the Overlord Body Stone was immediately drawn in by the Dantian Qi and surged into Lin Zhen's body!
This power was so strong that Lin Zhen hurriedly gathered his Dantian Qi and began to guide the energy to flow through his limbs and bones.
Unlike the lukewarm power of the Cinnabar Stone, the power of the Overlord Body Stone caused Lin Zhen pain as soon as it entered his body!
"Ah-ho!"
Lin Zhen looked up and let out a cry; his body was screaming!
Within the skin, every cell is undergoing intense activity, becoming increasingly resilient!
Every drop of blood seemed to boil, becoming even more vibrant.
The meridians were twisting and stretching, all becoming stronger under the powerful effect of the Overlord Body Stone.
At this moment, every organ within his body contained an even stronger vitality. Even if Lin Zhen didn't advance to the Stellar Realm, with his physical functions alone, living for three to five hundred years wouldn't be a problem!
Furthermore, within the bones, the bone marrow becomes denser and more concentrated, resulting in a stronger hematopoietic function.
Even the simple act of Lin Zhen raising his head caused his bones to crack and pop, a testament to the effects of the transformation.
With improved eyesight, Lin Zhen was able to see the lava fragments spewing from the distant Fire Mountain.
Lin Zhen's hearing became more sensitive, and he could even hear the breathing of the water python in White Dragon Lake spewing out Poison Mist.
Lin Zhen's sense of smell also became clearer, and he could still smell a strong stench of blood wafting from afar, although it was very faint.
His sense of touch also became more sensitive. Lin Zhen could feel the wind blowing, whether the wind was stronger or weaker, and he could even clearly feel the volcanic ash falling on his skin.
Even his abilities in that area are increasing. Although he hasn't tested it yet, Lin Zhen can easily sense it because the Overlord Body Stone enhances all human functions.
Except for the Dantian Qi and Mental Power, which are not enhanced by the effect of the Overlord Body Stone, all other aspects are comprehensively strengthened!
"What immense power! Grow stronger, I can withstand it!"
Although this transformation was incredibly painful, with Lin Zhen's mental fortitude and soul strength, no pain could break him.
He was waiting, waiting for the renovation to be completed, waiting for the moment when the Cloud Sky Bright Moon!
