A Desperate Battle Amid Destruction!
A large piece of Cosmic Crystal fell in front of the two people, blocking their view.
As the Cosmic Crystal fell completely, Lin Zhen's spear tip pierced through it almost touching the Cosmic Crystal!
Phantom God Strike!
This was Lin Zhen's strongest attack, containing Unstoppable martial skill that was unstoppable!
The Tian Ci Long Sword swept across the Cosmic Crystal almost touching it, but his attack did not have Time Acceleration!
At the instant their attacks were close, Lin Zhen used Time Acceleration!
Ten times faster!
Buzz~~~!
A clear, melodious sound rang out amidst the utter chaos of the battlefield.
This attack was completely unexpected. Even a Black Hole Peak expert like Tian Ci couldn't dodge it in time and was stabbed in the shoulder by Lin Zhen's spear!
Unstoppable!
Lin Zhen exerted force with both arms at the same time, unleashing his Unstoppable martial arts technique. He wanted to pierce through his body with a spear. Even if it was just his shoulder, as long as he could release his elemental power, he could still tear half of his body to shreds!
Tian Ci, who was able to cultivate to the peak of the Black Hole Late Stage, was naturally no weakling. At the critical moment, he grabbed the shaft of the Yin-Yang Long Spear to prevent Lin Zhen's Long Spear from moving, and at the same time activated his transformation!
King Kong Crab King Transformation!
King Kong Crab King is a powerful being among the Advanced Star River Beast. It has an incredibly tough suit of armor, two pincers, and six naturally formed blades, giving it immense combat power!
Two enormous pincers gripped Lin Zhen's Long Spear, and Tian Ci's clothes were suddenly torn open at the back, revealing six enormous, metallic-looking Heavenly Blades!
Mars flew from his shoulder; Lin Zhen's Long Spear exerted force, but it couldn't break through his pincers and armor.
"Lin Zhen! You're the only one, and the last one, who could push me to this point!"
With Tian Ci strange cry, Tianci, clad in full-body King Kong armor, raised six Heavenly Blades from behind and unleashed a storm of attacks.
Lin Zhen's Yin-Yang Long Spear was firmly restrained, and his clone immediately provided support, unleashing another Phantom God Strike from behind Tian Ci!
With Tian Ci distracted, Lin Zhen's main body withdrew its Long Spear and stood side by side with its clone, enduring Tian Ci's frenzied attack.
Lin Zhen's main body also activated the Black Hole Beast Armorization, and his clone activated the Fire Qilin Armorization. The two joined forces and fought a fierce battle with Tian Ci.
Time ticked away.
Rumble!...
The main structure of the Underground Palace Temple began to collapse. The surrounding smoke and dust, and the lava spewing from the underground cracks, made it impossible to see the surrounding environment. People could only keep dodging the boulders falling from the sky.
Black Space Crack began to appear around them, a sign that space was about to collapse. At first, Lin Zhen and Tian Ci did not need to deliberately avoid them, but as the Space Crack increased, their battle was also affected.
If they accidentally enter Space Crack, their current strength is simply insufficient to survive in the spatial turbulence; they would be easily torn apart.
Mars flew everywhere as three figures darted about inside the collapsed hall.
A huge stone pillar collapsed, and Lin Zhen's body circled the pillar like a serpent. Then, Tian Ci unleashed dozens of consecutive slashes, shattering the pillar!
The clone unleashed three consecutive Tianhe Star Burst from the Milky Way, slowing down Tian Ci's speed slightly, allowing the main body to immediately launch a counterattack!
Clang clang clang clang!
As the blades clashed, Lin Zhen's body retreated, while the Seven Stars Knife, arcing, aimed straight for Tian Ci's vitals, and Lin Zhen continued to dodge in mid-air.
The six heavenly blades Tian Ci were wielded, easily repelling Lin Zhen's Seven Stars Knife. The clone immediately unleashed a Thunder Kill!
Tian Ci was also powerful enough. He swung his huge pincers out and smashed Lin Zhen's attack to pieces!
Whoosh!
A Heavenly Blade nearly struck Lin Zhen's clone, but he dodged it by a hair's breadth, a single strand of hair flying through the air.
"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen! You're going to die here today! Look how much time you have left. You'll never make it through the No Return Road!"
When Lin Zhen saw the countdown, he was immediately startled.
At this point, there are eleven minutes left before the World Stone completely collapses!
Even at his top speed, Lin Zhen would need five minutes to No Return Road, but he would inevitably encounter some obstacles along the way. Lin Zhen gave himself ten minutes; with ten minutes to start, he should be able to leave.
If the time drops below ten minutes, Lin Zhen could also be in danger, and losing his life at the World Stone is not out of the question.
Tian Ci's strength is about the same as mine; if mine lasts ten minutes, his should also last ten minutes.
But now there's only one minute left, and he's still fighting with himself, as if he'd rather never leave the World Stone than not kill himself.
Lin Zhen didn't believe that Tian Ci had the determination to perish together with him. He was a Black Hole Late Stage, about to advance to the Star System Stage. He had an infinitely bright future, so why would he entangle with him to the death?
Lin Zhen's lips curled into a cold smile, "Tian Ci! Stop putting on airs here. If you're so capable, let's continue fighting. I'll see if you really want to leave."
"That's exactly what I wanted to say, Lin Zhen, if you've got the guts, don't leave! Whoever leaves first is a bastard!"
Lin Zhen's expression hardened. Could this Tian Ci be a Madman?
He didn't believe that Tian Ci would definitely withdraw!
The main body, the clone, and the three people, including Tian Ci, were like three shooting stars colliding and striking each other fiercely in the air.
The collapse of the World Stone has begun, from the Yellow Springs Road to the River of Three Crossings.
The waters of the River of Three Crossings turned into a rain of blood, spreading forward with thunder and Lei Ming. The original riverbanks and banks began to collapse, turning into fragments amidst the aura of destruction!
The black tide continued to advance, shattering the once towering Judgment Platform into pieces. Gravel, soil, bones, and scattered Cosmic Crystal were all mixed in with this black tide, surging into the Wasteland like a tidal wave!
On the Wasteland, where there were originally countless human corpses, they were all thrown high into the air when the black tide arrived. The earth overturned and joined the black tide, which continued to advance with overwhelming force!
The Destruction Tide swept across the Wasteland, and ahead lay the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
The waves surged forward from both sides, and the Hungry Ghost Path and the Hell Path, located on the very edge, were the first to be overturned!
Inside, there were countless wronged souls and ghosts, all howling and twisting as they vanished into nothingness amidst the black tide!
Then there are the Asura Path and the Animal Path.
The Asura and monstrous creatures that roamed within were utterly powerless against the Destruction Tide, possessing neither the strength to resist nor the ability to escape.
Then comes Human Path, and then the Heavenly Path.
Within the Heavenly Path, there were even a few injured martial artists struggling to trek. They had hoped to take advantage of the fact that everyone else had gone to the Underground Palace Temple to collect Cosmic Crystal from a hidden corner of the Heavenly Path, but they were injured in the battle.
The Cosmic Crystal have been collected, but it's too late to get to the Underground Palace Temple!
As the Destruction Tide approached, these martial artists let out helpless howls and cries, their years of cultivation now all for naught.
Once the Destruction Tide crosses the Heavenly Path, the Underground Palace Temple will be just ahead!
********
09:59~~!
When this number appeared, Lin Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect Tian Ci to be so crazy. Now less than ten minutes have passed, and this person still shows no sign of leaving!
Lin Zhen was also anxious at this moment. He snorted and a sulfurous smell spread out from his nostrils.
"Tian Ci! Since you're so determined to die with me, then I'll grant your wish!"
"Lin Zhen! Stop spouting nonsense and come at me if you dare!"
Lin Zhen also became determined, and his clone resolutely rushed forward!
Phantom God Strike!
Meteor Fall!
Thunder Kill!
Three consecutive, unstoppable attacks, completely disregarding their own safety, forced Tian Ci to retreat repeatedly to defend himself!
The main body followed the clone, launching an unprecedentedly powerful attack around Tian Ci.
Three minutes!
Despite sustaining multiple injuries from the relentless three-minute attack, Tian Ci managed to withstand it thanks to his King Kong Armor.
"Lin Zhen, is this all you've got?" Tian Ci laughed loudly. With only seven minutes left and the Destruction Tide approaching the Underground Palace Temple, he was certain Lin Zhen was doomed.
Lin Zhen also revealed a cold smile, "Then let's see who dies!"
"Don't exaggerate! What is this?"
Beams of light transformed into ropes, binding Tian Ci here!
"Light Fiend! Come out!"
The Light Fiend, nurtured for a long time in the Dark Star Space, has appeared. Lin Zhen hadn't used this item for a long time, not because it was ineffective, but because its grade was too low. After such a long period of nurturing, the Light Fiend has become a divine artifact and can now be put to use.
The Light Fiend was located on one end of the clone and on Lin Zhen's main body.
Lin Zhen's battle around Tian Ci was not to defeat him, but to entangle Light Fiend!
Tian Ci was firmly bound at this moment, and it would take him several seconds to break free from the Light Fiend!
"Now!"
Lin Zhen suddenly exerted his power and Teleport in front of Tian Ci.
Mental Evil Spirit Impact!!
Lin Zhen is not yet very skilled at using the Mental Evil Spirit Impact, which is why he uses this method of fixing the opponent.
Tian Ci's previously unrestrained face suddenly contorted in pain!
"Ugh!!!"
At the same time, Lin Zhen was also startled.
He discovered that the effects of the Mental Evil Spirit Impact were not significant, as there was no Mental Sea of Consciousness within Tian Ci's mind.
"Oh no! This Tian Ci is also an avatar!"
At this moment, Lin Zhen understood that Tian Ci had also condensed an avatar. The one fighting him here was not his main body. His main body was probably about to leave the World Stone!
Moreover, Lin Zhen was absolutely certain that there was some kind of connection between his clone and his main body, and that his clone could Teleport to his main body's side at crucial moments!
No wonder he was able to keep fighting me. If I hadn't tied up his clone, it would probably have teleported away by now, leaving me here to die.
"Damn it, how dare you scheme against me like this! But you never expected your clone would be tied up here, did you? Since you've decided to use a clone to entangle me, then don't even think about taking it back!"
The Mental Evil Spirit Impact was not in vain; it severed the connection between his main body and his clone in an instant.
Lin Zhen unleashed the Yin-Yang Yajiao Twin Spears simultaneously, delivering Phantom God Strike that pierced through the ears of the Tian Ci clone!
Pfft!
The elemental power erupted, and the Tian Ci clone died!
06:30 seconds!
The Destruction Tide had already swept into the Underground Palace Temple. Lin Zhen dared not linger for a moment and headed straight for the No Return Road.
In the blink of an eye, the Cosmic Crystal boulder had begun to completely collapse. Lin Zhen gritted his teeth, paused for a moment, and exerted his strength in the direction of the boulder's collapse.
Black Hole Storm!
Whoosh!
Lin Zhen devoured all the Cosmic Crystal, ordinary rocks, magma, and other debris that were falling in front of him.
This sudden absorption of a large amount of Cosmic Crystal accelerated the collapse of the World Stone, turning 06:30 into 5:00 in an instant!
The Destruction Tide is imminent!
"Retreat!!"
