Clashing with a Star System Stage Powerhouse!

Seeing Lin Zhen's fearless expression, Xi Lan Ke couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! This is truly a case of ignorance is bliss, Lin Zhen. You probably have no idea what kind of existence you're facing. You have no idea how terrifying a powerhouse at the Star System Stage can be."

"The Star System Stage is simply one level higher than Black Hole."

"Foolish! You're even more foolish than all the idiots I've robbed. The Black Hole Stage is a watershed moment. The strength of the Star System Stage is a hundred times greater than that of the Star Stage. You, a mere early-stage Stellar stage cultivator, actually dare to challenge me. You're simply brainless! I must say, this mission was far too easy. Lin Zhen, I overestimated you."

Lin Zhen looked at Xi Lan Ke, who didn't take him seriously at all, and was communicating with Chris in his mind.

"Chris, can you roughly estimate Xi Lan Ke's Star Power?"

"Master, Xi Lan Ke's Star Power is about eighty higher than yours, around four hundred and one."

"With a difference of eighty Star Power, we can definitely fight. It seems we should give this Pirate Leader a surprise."

Lin Zhen looked up at space. In the sky, the Eternal Crystal Battleship was hovering not far away. From Lin Zhen's angle, he could even see a group of people inside the warship's window watching the show with smiles.

In their view, Lin Zhen in the Star Stage was simply not capable of fighting Xi Lan Ke; it would be a crushing defeat or a cat-and-mouse game.

This warship is excellent; it's basically the strongest warship in the Fire Kirin Empire. Lin Zhen decided to keep it.

Xi Lan Ke looked at Lin Zhen with disdain, his feet not firmly on the ground, but hovering in the air as he walked over step by step.

"Today will be the day the Sun Territory is destroyed, Lin Zhen. After I kill you, I will slaughter every single life-bearing planet in your territory. Blame it on your own ignorance for daring to accept my Black Pearl and its crew; you've only yourself to die!"

"Say goodbye!"

As Xi Lan Ke spoke, a dazzling Light Blade suddenly slashed down!

Speed, power, spatial confinement—a single strike that simplifies complexity felt strangely familiar to Lin Zhen.

This swordsmanship is incredibly similar to the first galaxy simulation character he encountered in the Simulation Field!

The Simulation Field is not created out of thin air; it is based on some existing Star System Stage figures or common characteristics, with slight modifications to simulate them.

Lin Zhen's first opponent was a knife user, also Star System Level One opponent, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Xi Lan Ke.

Although the character was definitely not based on Xi Lan Ke, the two of them used the same swordsmanship!

Having experienced this scene countless times, Lin Zhen reacted immediately.

He slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging a strike that would have been impossible to avoid in other Star Stage. He then swiftly lunged forward, tracing a zigzag path through the air.

Xi Lan Ke never dreamed that Lin Zhen could dodge his attack. He hurriedly launched a second attack, but Lin Zhen dodged it again as if he had foreseen it!

"Shuashuashua~~!!!"

A series of Saber Aura crisscrossed in the air. This was Xi Lan Ke's most skilled sword technique. Although this sword technique was not rare and many people knew it, its power when used by Star System Stage cultivator was completely different. It couldn't even hurt Lin Zhen in the slightest!

"That's impossible!"

Xi Lan Ke's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Zhen seemed to know the trajectory of each of his strikes, and calmly dodged them. In less than a second, he had already missed three thousand strikes!

Lin Zhen was walking on a knife's edge, and he was already right in front of them!

The advantage gained from striking first vanished in an instant, forcing Xi Lan Ke to wield his longsword to parry Lin Zhen's Yin-Yang Long Spear.

"Lin Zhen, don't think that just because your movement technique is a bit better, you can rival someone at the Star System Stage. Your Star Power and overall strength are far inferior to mine!"

"Really? Then let's give it a try!"

"Get down here, Meteor Fall!"

A streak of starlight streaked across the sky above Lin Zhen's head and landed directly on Xi Lan Ke!

The Long Spear is a heavy weapon with the ability to break through defenses. After Lin Zhen's Yin-Yang Long Spear was infused with the World Power, it has reached the peak of High Grade Divine Artifact and is close to the level of Top Grade Divine Artifact.

The difference of eighty in their Star Power is not an insurmountable gap. Under these circumstances, Xi Lan Ke's advantage has been negated!

"BOOM!!"

The massive shockwave caused those inside the distant Eternal Crystal Battleship to instinctively dodge backward.

Xi Lan Ke was thrown back hundreds of meters, unable to maintain his suspended position any longer, and his feet slid into two deep trenches on the hard ground of Pluto!

Lin Zhen brandished his Long Spear, standing against the wind, his aura imposing. At this moment, he made no move, yet no one dared to look directly at him!

Xi Lan Ke, including everyone on the Eternal Crystal Battleship, was completely dumbfounded!

A single-stage star actually repelled Star System Stage with a single shot!

If you told this to the Entire Universe, no one would believe it!

Because in all known history, in the history of the Fire Kirin Empire, such a thing has never happened before, not even once.

There are some exceptionally talented martial artists who might be able to challenge a newly advanced Star System Stage with the strength of Black Hole Late Stage cultivator, but there are very few successful examples.

However, the Star Stage has definitely not passed, let alone a first-order stellar system, which has just been promoted to the first-order stellar system.

The people on the Eternal Crystal Battleship had all witnessed Lin Zhen's breakthrough, but now they were all deeply doubting whether their eyes had been blinded.

"Who are you?!" Xi Lan Ke asked sharply.

Lin Zhen laughed heartily, "Xi Lan Ke, the world is full of wonders. Don't blame anyone else for being able to be challenged by me. Blame it on your own weakness at the Star System Stage!"

"Bullshit! Lin Zhen, don't be too smug. I admit, I admit that your strength is stronger than I have ever seen before, but you can never be a match for Star System Stage expert. I was careless just now. This time, I will not give you any more chances."

"You must have seen my swordsmanship before, right? This time, however, you'll see something unlike anything you've ever done before. Die!"

Xi Lan Ke's eyes were already red. Being defeated by the Star Stage was a great humiliation for him. Needless to say, the pirates behind him would spread the news of their battle. He had only recently entered the Star System Stage and did not want to become a laughing stock.

After killing Lin Zhen, the first thing he did was kill his own comrades!

The longsword, High Grade Divine Artifact, swung wildly, creating waves of blood that rushed towards Lin Zhen!

This time, it was Xi Lan Ke's true skill—his completely self-created Blood Battle Blade Technique!

"Armorization!"

Lin Zhen's entire body was covered in black Scale Armor, and his figure suddenly grew larger. He wielded the Yin-Yang Long Spear, Immovable as a Mountain!

The fierce battle was earth-shattering from the very beginning. Mountains on Pluto shook, the earth trembled, and even the raging hurricanes had to detour around the shockwaves from the two Battle Qi.

Xi Lan Ke was on the offensive while Lin Zhen was on the defensive. The difference of eighty Star Power between the two had been reduced to about the same level by Lin Zhen's Armorization and Immovable as a Mountain.

At least Xi Lan Ke didn't have the ability to defeat Lin Zhen on the spot.

At first, Xi Lan Ke was unconvinced and attacked with all his might, but after half an hour, he still couldn't force Lin Zhen to retreat an inch!

The ground beneath their feet was shattered, but Lin Zhen remained like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard, blocking their way and preventing them from moving forward!

No matter how much he refused to admit it or how unwilling he was, he couldn't help but admit that Lin Zhen truly had the ability to fight against those at the Star System Stage!

However, Xi Lan Ke remained steadfast in his belief that he could win.

As a master of the Star System Stage, his abilities certainly couldn't be limited to just this little bit.

Mental Impact!

Xi Lan Ke is a Azure Sky-color Mind Power Master. At the Star System Stage stage, almost eight out of ten are Mind Power Master. Even if they are not mentalists, they have unique abilities to defend against Mental Impact.

He never expected that Lin Zhen would actually clash with him mentally!

The two Mental Power collided in mid-air, and the invisible impact caused both of them to let out painful groans before retreating simultaneously!

Xi Lan Ke is almost two thousand years old. His pirate exploits have been passed down in the Tianhe Empire for thousands of years. Despite cultivating for so long, he still couldn't defeat Lin Zhen in terms of Mental Power!

Lin Zhen once again overturned Xi Lan Ke's traditional ideas, and at the same time drove him crazy!

"Lin Zhen, no one can save you today!"

He could tell that Lin Zhen was only in his twenties. How could a young man in his twenties be no less powerful than him in terms of Star Power and Mental Power? If he couldn't kill Lin Zhen this time, Lin Zhen would definitely come to kill him in the future.

You must nip the weeds in the bud, or the consequences will be dire!

Having fought with no regard for anything else, Xi Lan Ke finally unleashed his trump card.

Star River Beast, transform!

A mutated form of the Advanced Star River Beast Black Dragon, the Ice and Fire Two-Headed Dragon!

Mutations are rare among Star River Beast, but once they mutate, they become stronger than other Star River Beast of the same level. This Ice and Fire Two-Headed Dragon, although still Advanced Star River Beast, already has the potential to fight against Super Star River Beast!

Covered in the same black Scale Armor, with only eyes and mouth visible, another head sprouted from Xi Lan Ke's shoulder!

It had one shoulder and two heads, and the divine longsword in its hand had split into two.

It was entirely fiery red.

A completely white one.

"Lin Zhen, don't think you're the only one with the Star River Beast gene. I can see that your Star River Beast gene is that of Super Star River Beast, but my Ice and Fire Two-Headed Dragon is also comparable to Super Star River Beast. This time, you have no chance to turn the tables!"

Xi Lan Ke lunged forward with a whoosh, wielding his twin blades. The aura of ice Blazing Fire swept in from both sides, more than twice as powerful as before!

Lin Zhen swung his Yin-Yang Long Spear to block, but was immediately forced back by the impact!

When they both activated their transformations, the difference in their Star Power finally became apparent once again, with Xi Lan Ke gaining an absolute advantage this time!
