Black Hole Emerges, Dark Star Forms!

The asthenosphere lies above the mantle and below the lithosphere, where the temperature is around 1300 degrees Celsius, which is close to the melting point of rocks.

Normally, the Earth's crust, lithosphere, and asthenosphere all belong to the Earth's crust.

The Upper Mantle and Lower Mantle both belong to the mantle.

The outer kernel and the Inner Core are the core components.

As the power of the Near SSS-Rank crystal began to condense into the soft current ring, the firepower within Lin Zhen's Dark Star began to be injected.

Fire Element and Earth Element coalesced, beginning to form rocks in the asthenosphere. These rocks are liquid, unlike the solidified rocks in the lithosphere.

"Thanks to the fact that all the elements in my body are complete, otherwise it would have been impossible to truly condense the Star Core. This asthenosphere alone is enough to stump me."

Three hours passed after the asthenosphere was formed.

Next comes the Upper Mantle Upper Mantle, which is many times thicker than the asthenosphere. According to Earth's understanding, this is the origin of earthquakes and has a much higher temperature.

The Near SSS-Rank crystal in Lin Zhen's hand began to be consumed more rapidly at this time, and streams of Earth Element power were frantically injected, causing the Upper Mantle to form quickly.

However, Lin Zhen frowned slightly. After the Upper Mantle, there is the Lower Mantle, and then the outer core and the Inner Core. It seems that the Earth Element power of this Near SSS-Rank crystal is not enough.

Of course, even if it's not enough, Lin Zhen can still condense Dark Star, but it may not reach its strongest state after condensation, which makes the perfectionist Lin Zhen somewhat regretful.

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time. I've come this far, there's no turning back."

Lin Zhen stopped thinking about these issues and let the power of the Earth Element flow in freely.

As darkness fell, the sky was covered with dark clouds; it was a cold night.

It wasn't until 10 p. m. that Lin Zhen's Dark Star's Upper Mantle was finally condensed, and the next step was the Lower Mantle.

Lin Zhen scanned the crystal with his Mental Power. At this moment, the crystal had shrunk by half. The remaining part was enough to condense the Lower Mantle, but it was obviously not enough to condense the Inner Core and outer core.

Lin Zhen was also in a dilemma. He hadn't expected that condensing his Dark Star would be so difficult, and he didn't even have enough Near SSS-Rank crystals.

However, he couldn't find SSS-Rank one either. If he waited until then to condense it, it would be too late.

Lin Zhen repeatedly scanned the Dark Star with his Mental Power, waiting for the Lower Mantle to take shape.

This process lasted for more than eight hours!

The mantle is only complete from darkness to dawn.

Lin Zhen's crystal was now down to one-fifth of its original size.

"Never mind, let's keep absorbing. Next up is the outer core!"

Lin Zhen showed no sign of stopping; wisps of Earth Element continued to enter the Dark Star, beginning to condense the outer core.

If the Earth's crust is solid and the mantle is liquid, then the Earth's core is highly compressed.

As Lin Zhen began to condense the Earth's core, the Gold Qi above the Dark Star began to be poured in frantically.

In a real planet, the core is extremely dense; even King Kong would be crushed into butter there.

However, Lin Zhen's Gold Qi is the most important of the five elements, and it is the sharpest and toughest. As the Gold Qi is injected, the density of the earth's core also increases.

As the Earth's core solidified, Lin Zhen felt that the space where the Dark Star was located was becoming more and more stable. The Dark Star's rotation speed gradually slowed down, indicating that the Dark Star was about to truly take shape.

But Lin Zhen secretly groaned in his heart, because he didn't have enough Earth Element!

It was only then that he realized how much Earth Element he lacked. He initially thought that this Near SSS-Rank crystal would at least be able to condense the outer core, giving the planet a basic foundation. However, he never expected that the core was the biggest consumer of Earth Element. As soon as the outer core had a thin layer, the earth Element Crystal was completely gone.

Based on this calculation, even ten more crystals wouldn't be enough, let alone one Near SSS-Rank crystal.

Without forming a core, the Dark Star's operation seemed to have stalled.

Lin Zhen knew that this was dangerous. If the core wasn't condensed while it was still hot, the Dark Star might remain in this state forever.

Of course, the current state can provide Lin Zhen with a lot of power, but without the possibility of advancement, the Dark Star that Lin Zhen painstakingly created will eventually become a useless existence in interstellar space.

Lin Zhen absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

"It's just matter, it's just the energy of the earth, I'll give it my all today!"

Lin Zhen resolutely took something out of his Space Ring: a neutron!

This is a neutron that has flowed out of Cosmic Black Hole. It is something whose density has been compressed to the limit. Such a small neutron is heavy enough to be comparable to the Himalayan Mountains.

However, Lin Zhen sensed a trace of Black Hole energy in the core of the neutron, which made Lin Zhen, who instinctively feared Black Hole, dare not Thunder Pool.

But at this point, the thought of advancing had overwhelmed his fear, and he was ready to give it his all!

"Come on! Success or death, it's up to you!"

Lin Zhen resolutely placed the neutron in front of Dantian lower abdomen, and the Dantian Qi began to absorb the power of the neutron.

When matter is extremely compressed, things like metals and minerals cease to exist and turn into soil, highly compressed soil.

Therefore, after the Dantian Qi was absorbed, the soil matter of the neutrons began to decompose quietly, little by little, and entered Lin Zhen's Dantian.

The power of the Earth Element passed through the Dantian and entered the space where the Dark Star was located. It was then absorbed by the forming planet, entered the Earth's core, and was compressed again.

At this point, perhaps only with a microscope can one see the Earth Element power seeping out of the neutrons, and this loss is almost negligible for the neutrons.

With the infusion of a large amount of Earth Element, Lin Zhen's Dark Star, which was about to stagnate, regained its powerful vitality and entered a period of high-speed operation once again.

Time once again turned from day to night, and after a full ten hours, Lin Zhen's Dark Star outer core was condensed!

"Great! Just one last step, the Inner Core is all that's left!"

Lin Zhen was almost ecstatic. The ten hours of absorption and compression had only reduced the volume of the neutron by one-third, and the outer core had been formed just like that.

"There are still two-thirds of neutrons left. Hopefully, we can successfully condense the Inner Core. Once the Inner Core is complete, the entire planet will be fully formed."

Lin Zhen was filled with anticipation, wondering what it would be like once the Dark Star was successfully formed.

The only thing that is certain is that my strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

If a Dark Star, an energy entity, can support itself to climb the Star Ranking, what can a real planet do?

The Inner Core is the most basic and crucial part. In fact, the advancement of Dark Star and the advancement of Dantian Qi are different. The Dantian Qi condensation of the Star Core Stage starts from the most core part. For example, in the early stage of Star Core, it is to condense into a Inner Core.

It wasn't until the Star Core Peak that it gradually took on the shape of a planet, and finally entered the Meteor Stage, transforming into a celestial body that continuously roamed within the Dantian.

Meteors transform into comets, and comets eventually stabilize and become satellites; only then can they be considered true planets.

The Dark Star started from the outside, which was something Lin Zhen hadn't expected, since he had no idea it would be like this.

When the Inner Core condensed, Lin Zhen realized how important the neutron was; the internal core had a higher compression density and required more Earth Element Energy.

The repeated absorption and compression cycle left Lin Zhen almost numb. He forgot about day and night, the passage of time, and devoted himself entirely to the process of a planet's birth.

At midnight, the Inner Core was halfway complete.

In the early hours of the morning, the Inner Core was four-fifths complete.

As dawn approached, the Inner Core was almost complete.

If the neutron was the size of a steel ball before, it is now only the size of a needle tip.

At this moment, that familiar Black Hole power, which filled Lin Zhen with dread from the bottom of his heart, reappeared.

"The most crucial moment has finally arrived."

"My Star Core is almost complete. Once it absorbs this last bit of neutron, the Dark Star will be truly finished. But I might face something extremely terrifying. Should I do it or not?"

After pondering the idea for a while, Lin Zhen's actions provided the answer.

Go all the way!

"I don't even dare to face the power of Black Hole now. If I return to the point of rebirth in the future, what courage will I have to face a real Black Hole? By then, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to be reborn again."

With a surge of Dantian Qi, Lin Zhen resolutely absorbed the last bit of neutron!

In that instant, Lin Zhen seemed to see a sky full of Xinghe!

The beautiful and vast starry sky forms a dazzling spectacle in the universe.

Then, in the cosmic sky, a point appeared, growing larger and larger and beginning to rotate.

That's Black Hole!

Everything around began to be swallowed up. Every planet seemed to turn into tiny droplets of water, which were absorbed into the Black Hole at an extremely high speed, and then decomposed, melted, compressed, and condensed.

Humans cannot escape, life cannot escape, the surrounding celestial bodies cannot escape, dust cannot escape, light cannot escape, and even the soul cannot escape!

The Black Hole seemed to be getting bigger and closer right in front of Lin Zhen!

The intense feeling of suffocation nearly drove Lin Zhen to a mental breakdown. His pupils dilated, his fists clenched, and he stared intently at the approaching Black Hole.

A surge of intense resentment welled up from the depths of his soul.

Summoning his courage from who-knows-where, Lin Zhen pointed at the Black Hole: "Go ahead and swallow me again if you dare! My power may be insignificant, but if you can't swallow me, I'll tear you to pieces!"

He knew that compared to the power of the Black Hole, his strength was like an ant roaring at a planet, as if he were trying to overturn the planet with his meager power.

But the ant still stubbornly wanted to give it a try!

At this moment, in a sense, Lin Zhen had won; he had the courage to overcome his fear.

As Lin Zhen roared, the scenery suddenly changed, and the Black Hole simply vanished.

Perhaps it didn't disappear, but rather entered the deepest part of the Earth's core, buried deep within the Dark Star.

Lin Zhen was drenched in sweat, as if he had just had a terrifying nightmare. When he scanned the Dark Star with his Mental Power again, he suddenly discovered that the Dark Star had already been fully formed!

At that moment, a terrifying force emanated from the Zhaodong Tower.
