Lin Zhen's Time to Strike Back!

Holding the Star Illusion Stone in your hand, it feels half real and half illusory.

With a thought, Lin Zhen summoned an all-consuming Black Hole above his head, which easily absorbed the Star Illusion Stone into his body.

The next moment, the Star Illusion Stone appeared inside Lin Zhen's Dantian.

The main body sat cross-legged, and the clone also sat cross-legged within the Dark Star Space, with a mysterious connection between the two.

Between Lin Zhen's Dantian and the Dark Star Space, there is an intersecting space.

This is the area where the Twin Voidstone are connected. If the Dark Star Space is real, then the Dantian is illusory. The intersecting spaces are entangled here, becoming the point connecting Lin Zhen's two Star Power, yet they do not interfere with each other.

The Star Illusion Stone entered Lin Zhen's body and eventually settled at the connection between his Dantian and the Dark Star Space.

When the Star Illusion Stone arrived here, it seemed to have found its home. Its real half was on the Dark Star side, and its illusory half was on the Dantian side, perfectly embedded at this node.

Half is light, half is darkness.

Perhaps due to the intersecting spaces, or perhaps because the clone is located within the Dark Star Space, this node has become the key to the connection of Star Power.

Lin Zhen's clone had six thousand Star Power, but with a thought, he left only one Star Power behind and sent all the remaining Star Power towards the Star Illusion Stone.

"Star Power Transfer!"

A flash of eerie blue light appeared, and a staggering 6,000 Star Power were injected. The Star Illusion Stone experienced a surge of light, and the immense Star Power flowed from the illusory side into the real side.

In an instant, the Star Power within Lin Zhen's Dantian surged!

From 7,500, it soared all the way up to 13,500 in an instant!

The powerful Star Power surged within Lin Zhen's Dantian, and he almost felt that his Dantian could no longer contain such a massive amount of Star Power.

"This... this is truly immense power! I've never felt anything so strong before!"

Although doing so almost completely stripped his clone of its combat power, rendering it unable to fight anymore, Lin Zhen's main body instantly became a Great God Level expert.

Now that Lin Zhen has returned to the arena, he will hardly be threatened by anyone!

With such formidable power, Lin Zhen was almost itching to find someone to fight.

*********

"Over here! Someone's passing by! There's someone in that ravine!"

A martial artist at the Star System Level One, accompanied by six or seven Black Hole Stage, arrived in the mountain valley.

"Look! There are people at the end of the road!"

One of the martial artists at the Black Hole Stage had sharp eyes and spotted Lin Zhen sitting at the far end.

"It really is Lin Zhen. We will report to General Xuan Jiang immediately."

The Star System Stage martial artist immediately sent a message to Xuan Jiang in the Dimensional Universe, announcing Lin Zhen's location. Because Lin Zhen was sitting there without moving, he even took a picture as evidence.

Upon receiving the message, Xuan Jiang laughed heartily, "Well done! I'll be right there. One million Cosmic Crystal for each of you, I'll transfer them to you now."

"Thank Xuan Jiang."

These martial artists were overjoyed; they had just gotten a million Cosmic Crystal, they were now rich.

After receiving the money, they didn't rush to leave. One of the Black Hole Stage martial artists hesitated for a moment, then said to the Star System Stage, "Hu Ge, you said that Lin Zhen is only a mid-stage Black Hole stage martial artist. Is he really that strong? We believe you if you say he's more talented and stronger than the rest of us, but I absolutely do not believe that he can be stronger than you, Hu Ge."

"That's right, no matter how strong they are, they're only at the Black Hole Stage. Hu Ge is a super expert at the Star System Stage. To be honest, I've never seen Black Hole Stage martial artist who can compete with Star System Stage martial artist."

"Well, it's hard to say. To be honest, I don't believe that a martial artist at the mid-stage of the Black Hole can compete with me, but the Fire Qilin has made him seem very powerful. Perhaps he really does have some extraordinary abilities."

That Hu Ge was quite cautious and didn't make any rash moves.

"Hu Ge, do you think if we take action and kill or capture Lin Zhen, Xuan Jiang will give us a bigger reward?"

"That's what I think too. Even if Lin Zhen is incredibly talented, and the few of us are no match for him, do you think he can't escape? That's ridiculous. Even the strongest Black Hole Stage has his limits."

Hu Ge's eyes flickered a few times, and he was finally tempted.

"Let's give it a try, but be very careful and don't be greedy or reckless."

"Don't worry, Hu Ge, we'll use a pack of wolves tactic to hunt him down."

A Star System Stage, accompanied by seven Black Hole Stage, slowly approached Lin Zhen.

Along the way, they were careful not to move rashly, but seeing that Lin Zhen was sitting there without moving, their tactics were somewhat useless.

Hu Ge waved his hand, and eight people approached from eight directions.

There are no blind spots in any direction, from east to west, southeast to northeast, southwest to northwest, because air travel is prohibited here.

Step by step, they probed and tested, until finally all eight of them were within ten meters of Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen remained motionless.

"What? Aren't we being a little too paranoid? Is a Black Hole Stage cultivator really worth it? Let me write this down and send it to Xuan Jiang."

Hu Ge activated the recording system of the Dimensional Universe and transmitted the image to Xuan Jiang.

"Xuan Jiang, this Lin Zhen is nothing special. The eight of us have already closed to within ten meters of him, and he still hasn't reacted. If we attack at the same time from this distance, we'll definitely kill him. What do you say, should we make a move?"

Xuan Jiang had already led his men close to the valley entrance when he saw the image. He was stunned for a moment, then angrily shouted, "Who gave you permission to come near? Get out of my way! Lin Zhen may be a bastard, but he's not someone you're qualified to touch. You're courting death, you know?"

"It can't be that exaggerated, can it? I swear on my honor that he's definitely not as amazing as the rumors say. You'll see for yourself!!!"

Before Hu Ge finished speaking, Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes in the scene.

When a martial artist finishes training, there is a process of releasing their Star Power. This release has almost no destructive power, but if there is a significant difference in strength, it is still possible to knock someone away or knock them unconscious.

A halo of Star Power emanated from Lin Zhen, and the eight martial artists surrounding him felt a surge of immense power, as if their internal organs had been struck by a tremendous force!

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft~~!!"

Eight people simultaneously made a blood-spurting motion, their internal organs shattering at the same time!

"This is impossible! Just how high is his Star Power?"

After uttering his last words, Hu Ge collapsed to the ground, dying instantly!

He was Star System Level One with Star Power of 350. He thought he was strong enough and could retreat easily even if he was no match for Lin Zhen. He never expected that the gap between him and Lin Zhen would be so great.

This Star Power is definitely over 10,000!

He wanted to warn Xuan Jiang to be careful, but he no longer had the strength.

Lin Zhen released a burst of Star Power that killed the eight people, but he didn't even bother to collect their Space Ring.

Just like a billionaire would never steal a few cents from a few dead people; there's absolutely no need for that.

His gaze fell on the entrance to the mountain pass, where a group of people poured in, led by General Xuan Jiang.

There were over a hundred people, many of whom Lin Zhen vaguely remembered; they were all veteran Star System Level Nine who had challenged him in a series of battles.

Xuan Jiang led his men up to Lin Zhen, glanced down at the dead bodies on the ground, and then smirked. "Lin Zhen, you're quite the show-off, aren't you? What, you feel accomplished taking down a few small fry in the Black Hole Stage?"

"Xuan Jiang, don't forget, I am also a Black Hole Stage cultivator, and a mid -Black Hole. You led a large force, practically digging three feet into the ground to capture me. Do you find that very satisfying?"

Xuan Jiang was speechless after being choked by Lin Zhen. Having been in contact with Lin Zhen for so long, Xuan Jiang had almost forgotten that Lin Zhen a Black Hole Stage and had always regarded Lin Zhen as an opponent of the same level.

"Lin Zhen, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. It's pointless. No matter what you do today, you can't escape my grasp."

"Really? I'm looking forward to it."

"Lin Zhen, you know you've obtained the third level of the Grand Abyss Swordplay. Hand it over obediently, and perhaps you'll still have a sliver of a chance to live."

Lin Zhen scoffed, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Xuan Jiang, your intelligence is quite worrying."

"You won't listen to reason, Lin Zhen. Even now, are you still not giving up?"

"Set up the formation!"

With a loud shout from Xuan Jiang, the more than one hundred Star System Level Nine he brought quickly set up a large formation.

The formation wasn't particularly advanced, but it was underground and surrounded by obstacles, blocking all of Lin Zhen's escape routes.

Xuan Jiang then took out another sword from his Space Ring: "Lin Zhen, you've never seen this before, have you? This is the World Piercer Sword. I know you're proficient in Space Law and might be able to escape using spatial means. That's the source of your confidence in challenging me, isn't it? But you'd never guess that this sword can pierce through space. Even if you hide in Different Dimension Space, you won't be able to escape, hahaha!"

Lin Zhen glanced at the group of martial artists standing guard around him, then looked at Xuan Jiang: "You really went to great lengths to capture me."

"Of course, it's better to be safe than sorry. You are worth 30 billion Cosmic Crystal and have the Grand Abyss Swordplay. I never fight a war I'm not prepared for."

"Have you ever worried that your men might not be able to beat me?"

"What did you say?" Xuan Jiang seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and could not believe his ears.

"Pfft pfft~!"

Lin Zhen suddenly made a lightning-fast move, casually unleashing the Phantom God Strike, the power of his Spear Art instantly sweeping across the entire arena!

As the spear flashed, the throats of five Star System Level Nine were pierced, and they died on the spot!

It's important to understand that the Xuan Jiang brought no ordinary people this time. Each of them is a powerful cultivator who has practiced for at least several hundred years. Individually, they could all be emperors in Elementary Civilization Universe Country!

He was actually killed by Lin Zhen like a chicken!

"Since you can't hear well, I'll say it again. Have you considered what you would do if you couldn't beat me? Hmm..."
