Advancing to Asura

The Mercury Burst sent Diana flying high into the air, her body covered in blood from the cuts of the Ice Blade, yet she was still alive.

Lin Zhen did not continue to use Mars Burst and Saturn Burst. With a thought, he Teleport behind Diana and grabbed her long hair.

"This is just a little interest, Diana. Until we meet again."

A burst of blazing flame erupted from Lin Zhen's palm, instantly engulfing Diana.

One second later, Diana turned to ashes.

Lin Zhen also left the Asura Arena, and his number of victories finally increased by one, becoming 917 wins.

After waiting for a while and seeing no further movement from Diana, Lin Zhen sneered and started the next random battle.

Finally, they could fight normally. In the past, every battle with the Star Stage was a fierce battle. This time, having learned the Starburst, Lin Zhen began to fight quickly and decisively.

The Starburst is indeed a super combat technique; without activating the Star River Domain, most Star Stage cannot withstand it.

The only ones with any fighting ability are the Asura Martial Artist, and even ordinary Silver Star Asura are no match for Lin Zhen.

His record began to soar.

920 wins and 41 losses, 935 wins and 41 losses, 950 wins and 41 losses!

After achieving 950 victories, Lin Zhen mainly encountered Asura Martial Artist, but his combat speed did not decrease at all. He could finish a battle almost every minute, and the longest battle did not exceed five minutes.

Lin Zhen had good luck during this period. From 950 wins to 990 wins, he only lost one battle to a Red Star Asura. He won all the remaining battles.

Time keeps passing by.

Diana felt a chill run down her spine as she watched Lin Zhen's record steadily climb.

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Lin Zhen gets a thousand wins. He might be able to advance to Red Star Asura in an hour or two, while I can't counter his planet-exploding techniques."

Upon further inquiry about the progress of the Ancient God City, it was discovered that the World Stone had still not been found.

If she could find the World Stone now, she would leave immediately. Unfortunately, she can't find it. Once Lin Zhen gets the title and the money and becomes a lord, he will definitely drive her away.

Diana was unwilling to accept this. She led a large group of people and flew to Earth in the Sky City, all for the sake of obtaining the World Stone. She could not forgive herself for being driven out in such a humiliating manner.

What to do? Once Lin Zhen becomes a lord, he will be protected by law, and he will also become a Red Star Asura. The empire will no longer favor him, and may even favor Lin Zhen instead.

"It seems I need to prepare for some things sooner rather than later. I have to make a decision, Lin Zhen, you forced me into this!"

Diana contacted the Anderson family again.

********

"Phew! 999 wins, 45 losses, we're almost there."

Lin Zhen lost two more matches, both to Red Star Asura. If he wins one more match, he will advance.

Lin Zhen thought he would encounter a very strong opponent in this random encounter, but fate smiled upon him and let him meet a Silver Star Asura.

The battle ended swiftly and decisively, and Lin Zhen finally achieved his 1,000th victory.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have achieved 1,000 victories in the Asura Arena with a win rate of 95%. You will receive the title of Red Star Asura."

A red star appeared on Lin Zhen's chest.

Lin Zhen let out a breath and went straight to the bank without pausing for a moment.

"I want to apply for a loan."

The bank staff immediately received Lin Zhen Lin Zhen, because of his status as a Red One-Star Asura, he could get a loan of one billion Sanjiang Coin.

The bank was very efficient; the entire process—identity verification, loan disbursement, and the money arriving in the account—took only five minutes.

One billion Sanjiang Coin are equivalent to one trillion Tianhe Coin.

Lin Zhen immediately went to Emerald Star to apply for a fiefdom.

It was the same staff member who greeted us last time, but their attitude was completely different.

Lin Zhen's status Red Star Asura is extremely prestigious, a title that is universally recognized throughout the Sanjiang Star Region Federation. People from the Tianhe Empire dare not neglect him, especially since Lin Zhen himself is an earl of the empire.

"Count Lin Zhen, your application has been successfully submitted, and we have received 250 billion Tianhe Coin. The Empire Government Affairs Office will complete its review within twelve hours and provide you with a response."

"Does it really need to take twelve hours? Why not just approve it directly?"

"Count, you have applied for a territory spanning ten million stars, which is a distance of one light-year. Such a vast area cannot be reviewed in a short time. I can assure you that we will not slack off. There are no problems with your application process. Once the review is completed, we will deduct another 150 billion from your reserve fund, and then you will have your fiefdom."

"Okay, hopefully you can get there as soon as possible."

"Sure, twelve hours is a conservative estimate. Generally, it can be completed in seven or eight hours. We will call you immediately once it is finished."

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait."

Lin Zhen left the trial office. This time, he traveled to the Sanjiang Star Region Federation via the Dimensional Universe.

He wants to buy Entrapment Net.

The price of the Entrapment Net fluctuates greatly, and Lin Zhen finally Xuan Ze a Entrapment Net worth 150 million Sanjiang coins.

This is almost the best option; it can be used to capture Eternal Crystal Battleship.

"Please rest assured, we will deliver the goods to you immediately. As you instructed, we will travel through a wormhole and then through a parallel universe. It should be delivered to your planet within five hours."

Lin Zhen nodded and left the Dimensional Universe.

Now all he can do is wait, wait to become the lord, and wait for the Entrapment Net to be laid.

However, he always felt that Diana would never sit idly by and wait for death. Lin Zhen was also aware of the progress in the Ancient God City. They had not found the World Stone yet, and now it seemed that they were too late no matter what.

In short, once Lin Zhen obtains the title of lord, he will immediately expel these people. If they still dare to linger, Lin Zhen will have a legitimate reason to launch an attack.

"Splash! Splash!"

The screen flickered a few times, and Diana saw Anderson.Slo.

Slo is a Red Three-Star Asura Martial Artist, Star Level Nine, and he is the pride of the younger generation of the Anderson Family.

Sasha, who was killed by Lin Zhen on Earth, was his sister. He came here to complete a mission and to avenge his sister.

When Diana appeared, Slo's expression was not good. "Miss Diana, what do you mean by this? Our Anderson Family has always kept its word. If we say we will complete a mission, we will definitely complete it. We will not tarnish our honor because of such a small matter. You don't need to urge us again and again."

Diana waved her hand. "Mr. Slo, that's not what I meant. I came to you this time hoping to discuss the commissioned task with you again."

"Still talking about missions? What missions? Lin Zhen hasn't even finished his mission yet."

"This mission and the last one can be considered as one; they are both related to Lin Zhen. If you help me this time, I will pay you a commission separately."

Diana held up five fingers as she spoke, "Five hundred million Sanjiang Coin, this is the greatest sincerity I can offer."

Slo didn't come alone; he was accompanied by several people. They exchanged glances and all of them could see the excitement in their eyes.

Five hundred million Sanjiang coins is no small sum; it's enough to buy a Asteroid System. I just don't know what Diana wants to do.

Please state your requirements.

"Here's the thing, I hate the people on this Native Planet I'm on, and I need to completely conquer it. But this planet is about to have a ruler, and I need help. I beg you to help me. If those natives dare to resist, kill them all!"

"Whether you succeed in conquering or destroy them all, you have completed your mission. Of course, Lin Zhen must die. That is my commission."

"Can't your army accomplish this?" Slo asked.

"No, my army consists of people from the Tianhe Empire. Once a lord appears, they won't dare to make a move. I need external forces."

Looking at Diana's somewhat ferocious face, Slo thought for a moment and said, "You must be a nobleman from the Heavenly River, right? Is the lord you're talking about Lin Zhen? Doing this violates the laws of the Heavenly River, and your noble status may be in jeopardy."

"Of course I know, but I have no choice now. Lin Zhen has gone too far, and no one here welcomes me. I must take revenge. So what if I'm not a noble of the Heavenly River? I'm still a Venus Asura. I can go to any country in the Sanjiang Star Region Federation and live a good life there."

Diana let out a long sigh, "In short, I've laid out the conditions. Think about it and decide whether you accept them."

Slo smiled and said, "Why not? We're not from the Tianhe Empire, Heavenly River's laws don't apply to us. If you, Diana, aren't afraid, why should we be? It's not a mercenary's style to pass up money. Five hundred million Sanjiang Coin is worth it even if we destroy this planet."

"Okay, it's settled then. How much longer until you arrive?"

"We will reach Earth's atmosphere in about seven hours."

Diana nodded. "Then I will make preparations immediately and have those useless troops leave. These people will only get in the way. Only my trusted confidants will be enough."

"Very well, we love conquest and destruction, Miss Diana. See you on Earth soon. Let's have some fun on this Native Planet and show them what fear is."

"See you on Earth. I'm really looking forward to that moment; I can't wait."

The communication ended, Diana's face revealed a cold, murderous intent.

"If I succeed this time and finally find the World Stone, then any price I pay will be worth it. What kind of bullshit Tianhe Empire's noble status do I care about anymore? As for these Earthlings who are standing in my way, and Lin Zhen, you can all just die!"
