Chapter 320: 320: The Condensation of the Dark Star

The limited stock of rocket launchers took turns bombing the area, clearing a vacuum zone to the west. The Headhunting Squad quickly advanced and disappeared from people’s sight.

People couldn’t see them anymore, but soon a mushroom cloud rose from the distance, indicating that a cover member had self-destructed.

Star List experts assured Base City residents not to worry, and everything was going according to plan.

However, the subsequent live broadcast was not pleasant. A hedgehog-like Mutated Beast fired its spear-like spines in a dense long-range attack. Half of the Headhunting Squad members fell in pools of blood.

The sudden change buried the hope of the Headhunting Squad. The last Star List expert didn’t even see the great enemy’s face before falling under the claws of a group of Quasi-SS Class Mutated Beasts.

The fall of the Headhunting Squad completely extinguished the hope of the people of Ice City, causing a devastating drop in morale. People became despondent.

If such an elite squad was annihilated, the remaining millions of people in Ice City would have even less chance of breaking through.

Perhaps the city would fall tomorrow.

Demon Dragon Mountain was located in the center of the third layer, with a tunnel leading to the fourth layer.

However, the tunnel was the Demon Dragon’s lair, where the Earth Demon Dragon resided, blocking people from moving forward.

In the surrounding area, other Warcraft dare not approach due to the presence of the Earth Demon Dragon.

Within the tunnel, a massive roar had been going on for hours.

A huge beast’s roar came, slowly calming down.

Lin Zhen sat there, not wanting to move a finger. The battle was too hard.

Eight Star List experts teamed up to fight the Earth Demon Dragon, but three of them died on the spot.

Fortunately, they eventually won. In the end, Lin Zhen’s space-cutting directly sliced the Earth Demon Dragon’s brain, obtaining the Earth element crystal within it.

Inside the Earth Demon Dragon’s lair, there were a total of nine Holy Artifacts, including a High-Grade Holy Artifact. The remaining people divided the spoils on the spot.

However, Lin Zhen didn’t get anything this time because he had already taken the Quasi-SSS Class Earth element crystal, making it the best trophy.

After everyone divided the loot, Lin Zhen requested the Earth Demon Dragon’s massive corpse.

Naturally, Lin Zhen wouldn’t take it for free. He paid every person on the spot an additional 30 billion Huaxia Coins.

Some people wanted the corpse, but Lin Zhen didn’t participate in the distribution of the Holy Artifacts, so they reluctantly agreed to leave the corpse to Lin Zhen.

The Earth Demon Dragon’s corpse was quite valuable. If brought to the outside world, it could sell for up to 200 billion. However, Lin Zhen wanted it as food for Xiao Nuan.

Releasing Xiao Nuan, she devoured the Earth Demon Dragon.

After eating this big fellow, Xiao Nuan seemed to face an evolutionary bottleneck and went straight into the Black Ghost to sleep.

Obtaining the Earth element crystal, Lin Zhen immediately said goodbye to the others.

Both Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun knew that Lin Zhen was eager to leave and didn’t try to keep him. The two returned to Ice Palace while Lin Zhen left Ancient God City directly.

After leaving the city, Lin Zhen felt refreshed by the outside air.

“The hard work I’ve put in for this time has paid off. With the Quasi-SSS Class

Earth element crystal, my Dark Star will finally condense.”

Lin Zhen took out his cell phone to check on the situation in Ice City.

At a glance, he was shocked. To avoid distractions from other matters, he hadn’t been paying much attention to the internet lately. But in just two days, how had the situation in Ice City become like this?

“Headhunting Squad operation fails, where is the way out for the people of Ice

“Good news! The Commander, Shen Lixing, announces that he has received the promise of the Great Divine Sect of Allen. As long as the people of Ice City rejoin the Star Sky Divine Teaching and swear never to betray them, the Gods Clan is willing to send troops to help Ice City resolve the crisis.”

“Miss An Ning of the An Group issues a statement, swearing to share the same fate with the city and never rejoin Star Sky Divine Teaching again.” “Ice City falls into chaos from internal and external troubles.”

Reading through the articles, Lin Zhen had a general understanding of the situation in Ice City.

Ice City was now under the command of a man named Shen Lixing who had planned the headhunting operation, but it ended in failure.

After the failure, Shen Lixing contacted Allen from the former Sofia Cathedral, who promised that if the people of Ice City rejoined the Gods Clan, they would send troops to help them break the siege.

However, this was opposed by An Ning and martial artists from several Base Cities in Northwest, Demon Capital, and the Capital, many of whom Lin Zhen knew.

With Mutated Beasts attacking from the outside and internal struggle within, it seemed inevitable that the city would fall eventually.

From this information, Lin Zhen also analyzed some details.

Allen was originally in Ancient God City pursuing Lin Zhen. He went in the wrong direction before, going to the South Pole when Lin Zhen was at the North Pole. But there was no news about him after that, and it turned out that he had left earlier.

The fact that Allen agreed to this matter showed that the Gods Clan now had no real leaders. Yan Huang might be in seclusion for cultivation.

After checking the messages from his parents, he found out that they were both currently imprisoned in the Divine Might Church in Constantinople, temporarily with no danger to their lives.

After some hesitation, Lin Zhen decided to rescue Ice City first. However, before that, he needed to make a breakthrough.

Only by condensing the Dark Star could Lin Zhen possibly save Ice City. Otherwise, it would be a futile effort.

He didn’t post a message online about his return but sent a message to An

Ning: “I’m back, hang in there.”

After sending the message, An Ning quickly replied to Lin Zhen: “I’ll wait for you.”

Lin Zhen tried to call Su Mingyue again, but he couldn’t get through, so he gave up.

Wearing a metal mask and controlling his aura to the level of a Fifth-Level War God, Lin Zhen became unrecognizable to others. He boarded a small aircraft and left the Ancient God City.

Upon reaching Zhao Dong County City, Lin Zhen’s aircraft landed on the top of

Zhao Dong Building.

It was already mid-winter, and more than four years had passed since Lin Zhen’s reincarnation, making this his fifth year.

When he landed on Zhao Dong Building, the place was almost like an empty city.

All the mutated beasts had gone to participate in the Ice City siege, turning the once Wilderness Area into a no man’s land.

The surroundings were still filled with gusts of snow, but after experiencing the extreme cold of the South Pole in Ancient God City, Lin Zhen was almost immune to such low temperatures.

Arriving at the place where he had once made a breakthrough, Lin Zhen sat down.

He knew that he was now facing a very critical moment.

Apart from Ice City’s situation, the Church was also a big threat to Lin Zhen. Once Yan Huang came out, his strength would definitely soar, and there were only four days left before Yan Huang announced his big wedding.

The whereabouts of Yue’er were still unknown, and his parents were trapped in Constantinople, waiting for his rescue.

All of this required his strength as support, and the condensation of the Star Core within the Dark Star was the most crucial step.

He hadn’t experienced this step in his previous life, and even though he had heard of some people fortuitously possessing a Dark Star in his previous life, he had never heard of anyone actually turning a Dark Star into a solid entity.

“Perhaps I’m making history.”

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, put all his distractions behind him, and began to meditate.

Adjusting his breath, cultivating, and absorbing the natural energy of the world.

An hour later, he felt that his condition had reached its best and stopped cultivating.

From the Space Ring, Lin Zhen took out two Earth Element Crystals.

One was from a Quasi-SS Class Warcraft, and the other was from a Quasi-SSS Class Warcraft.

“Ideally, I should use an SS-level one, but I couldn’t find it. These two are slightly too big and too small, so I don’t know what the final effect will be. I’ll just try absorbing the smaller one first.”

Taking out the Quasi-SS Class Earth Element Crystal, Lin Zhen placed it in front of his Dantian.

His Dantian Qi began to circulate, and the power within the crystal entered Lin Zhen’s Dantian.

As soon as the Earth Element’s power entered, the Dark Star within Lin Zhen’s body began spinning wildly!

The other elemental powers within the Dark Star had been condensed for a long time, such as Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, and Golden Light, but they were always lacking the Earth Element, which was the basis of their existence.

Now that they saw the Earth Element, it was like a drought encountering rain, and the whole Dark Star came to life in that moment!

“Hiss! Such a fast absorption speed!”

Lin Zhen looked inward with his spiritual power and saw that the rotation of the Dark Star became faster and faster. The strands of Earth Element penetrated through two spaces and quickly entered the Dark Star.

This was not quite the same as the condensation of Dantian Qi. The Dark Star operated in another space, separate but reliant on the Dantian Qi.

At this moment, the Dark Star began to form a foundation, and after the Earth Element entered, it quickly gathered inside the Dark Star, forming the planet’s shell.

“To my knowledge, the foundation of a planet’s existence is Earth, but the interior of a planet is also divided into several layers.”

“From the outside in, these layers are the crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core.”

“Just one Quasi-SS Class crystal alone might not be enough to condense these layers. I just don’t know how far I can go with this one.”

Ten minutes!

Under Lin Zhen’s watch, ten minutes later, the Earth Element Crystal was completely absorbed. The Star Core within the Dark Star only formed one layer of shell, and the second layer of the lithosphere had not yet condensed.

“As expected, one Earth Element Crystal is not enough. Thankfully, I was prepared.”

Lin Zhen placed the Quasi-SSS Class Crystal in front of his Dantian once again.

He saw the crystal disintegrating rapidly, and the Earth Element surged into the Dark Star’s interior at lightning speed.

Originally, the Dark Star, which was about to stop spinning, gained new vitality and life and grew rapidly before Lin Zhen’s eyes!

Another twenty minutes passed. The lithosphere was successfully condensed, and the process continued to the third layer, the asthenosphere..
