Chapter 321: 321: Black Hole Appears, Dark Star Forms! (3rd update)

Normally, the crust, lithosphere, and asthenosphere are part of the crust.

Whereas the upper mantle and lower mantle are part of the mantle.

And the outer core and inner core are the core part.

When the power of the quasi-SSS grade crystal began to condense the asthenosphere, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star began to infuse its firepower.

Fire and earth elements coalesced, forming the asthenosphere’s liquid-state rocks, which were unlike the solid-state rocks of the lithosphere.

“Thankfully, all elements are present within my body, otherwise it would be impossible to truly condense the planet core, this asthenosphere alone would be enough to stump me.”

Three hours had passed since the formation of the asthenosphere.

Next was the upper mantle, which was many times thicker than the asthenosphere. According to Earth’s definition, this is the source of earthquakes, and the temperature is higher.

The consumption of the quasi-SSS grade crystal in Lin Zhen’s hand began to increase, and the earth element’s power was furiously infused, as the upper mantle quickly formed.

However, Lin Zhen slightly frowned. After the upper mantle, there was the lower mantle, outer core, and inner core, seeming like this quasi-SSS grade crystal’s earth element power was not enough.

Of course, even if it was not enough, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star could still condense, just not reaching the strongest state, which caused perfection-seeking Lin Zhen to feel regretful.

“Forget it, let’s take one step at a time, at this point, there’s no turning back.”

Lin Zhen stopped pondering those questions, allowing the earth element power to flow in freely.

Night gradually fell, with the sky shrouded in dark clouds. It was a cold night.

By ten o’clock in the evening, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star finally finished forming the uDDer mantle. Next was the lower mantle.

Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power scanned the crystal. The crystal had shrunk to half its size. The remaining part was enough to form the lower mantle, but obviously not enough for the inner and outer cores.

Lin Zhen was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He never expected that condensing his Dark Star would be so difficult, with the quasi-SSS grade crystal not being enough.

But he also could not find any SSS grade crystal. If he waited until that time to condense, the opportunity would have probably passed.

His Spiritual Power swept through the Dark Star repeatedly, as Lin Zhen waited for the lower mantle to take shape.

This process lasted for more than eight hours!

From nightfall to dawn, the mantle was finally completed.

And Lin Zhen’s crystal in hand was left with only one-fifth of its original size. “Forget it, continue absorbing, next is the outer core!”

Lin Zhen showed no intention of stopping. The strands of earth element continued to enter the Dark Star, beginning to condense the outer core.

If the crust part is solid and the mantle part is liquid, then the core part has highly compressed density.

When Lin Zhen began to condense the core, the gold energy on the surface of the Dark Star began to infuse crazily.

A true planet has a high-density core. Even diamonds would be compressed into butter at the core. However, Lin Zhen’s gold energy is the strongest and most resilient of the Five Elements.

As the gold energy infused, the core’s density grew even greater.

With the core’s condensation, Lin Zhen felt that the Dark Star’s space had become increasingly stable, and its rotation gradually slowed down, signifying that the Dark Star was truly taking shape.

However, Lin Zhen secretly complained that there was not enough earth element!

Only now did he realize how much earth element he was missing. He initially thought that this quasi-SSS grade crystal would be enough to complete the outer core. That way, the planet would have a rudimentary foundation. But he never imagined that the core would contain a vast amount of earth element. The outer core barely had a thin layer when the earth element crystal was completely consumed.

Based on these calculations, not to mention a single quasi-SSS grade crystal, even ten more would not be enough.

Without condensing the core, the Dark Star’s rotation seemed to show signs of stagnation.

Lin Zhen knew it was dangerous at this moment. If he didn’t strike while the iron was hot and condense the core, this Dark Star might remain in this state forever.

Of course, the current state can provide Lin Zhen with a lot of power, but losing the possibility of advancement, Lin Zhen painstakingly created Dark Star would sooner or later become as useless as chicken ribs in the interstellar world.

Lin Zhen absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

“It’s just a matter of materials and Earth energy, right? I’m going all in today!”

With great determination, Lin Zhen took out something from his Space Ring— a neutron!

This neutron came from a cosmic black hole and was an extremely compressed material. Such a small neutron had a weight comparable to the entire Himalayas.

However, Lin Zhen felt a trace of black hole aura in the core of the neutron, which caused him, who had an instinctive fear of black holes, not to take the risk easily.

But at this point, the desire to advance had overwhelmed his fear. He was going all in!

“Come on! Success or death, it’s up to you!”

Lin Zhen resolutely placed the neutron in front of his Dantian, and the Dantian qi began to absorb the neutron’s power.

When materials become highly compressed, there is no such thing as metallic minerals or the like; everything turns into highly compressed mud.

So after the Dantian absorbed the Qi, the neutron’s earth material began to quietly decompose, bit by bit, and entered Lin Zhen’s Dantian.

The power of the Earth element, passing through the Dantian, entered the space where the Dark Star was located and was then absorbed by the forming planet, entering the core of the earth and compressing again.

At this moment, perhaps only with a microscope could one see the Earth element power seeping out of the neutron, this loss was almost negligible for the neutron.

Having received a large amount of Earth element infusion, Lin Zhen’s stagnant Dark Star once again gained tremendous vitality and re-entered its high-speed operation period.

Time passed again from day to night, and after a full ten hours, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star outer core was completed!

“Great! I’m just one step away from the last step, the inner core!”

Lin Zhen was almost ecstatic. The ten hours of absorption and compression only reduced the neutron’s volume by one-third, and the outer core formed just like that.

“There are still two-thirds of the neutron left. I hope the inner core can be successfully condensed. Once the inner core is completed, the entire planet will be fully formed.”

Lin Zhen was full of anticipation, wondering what it would look like once the Dark Star was truly condensed.

The only thing that could be certain was that his strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

Could a planet support him reaching the Star List with just the energy body of a Dark Star? And how much more would a real planet do?

The core is the most basic and critical part. In fact, the promotion of a Dark Star and the promotion of Dantian Qi are slightly different. The Dantian Qi condenses into the Star Core Period, starting from the innermost part, like the Star Core Early Stage, which condenses into an Inner Core.

It was not until the Star Core Peak that the planet gradually took shape, and finally entered the Meteor Stage and flew continuously as celestial bodies in the Dantian.

The Meteor transformed into a Comet, and the Comet finally stabilized and became a satellite, which could then be considered a real planet.

But the Dark Star started with the external, which Lin Zhen hadn’t thought of before, because he didn’t know it would be like this.

By the time it came to condense the inner core, Lin Zhen knew how much the neutron played a role. The compression density of the internal core was even greater, requiring more Earth element energy.

The cycle of repeated absorption and compression had numbed Lin Zhen so much that he had forgotten about the day and night, the passage of time, and had wholeheartedly thrown himself into the birth process of a planet.

At midnight, half of the inner core was completed.

By the early morning, three-quarters of the inner core was completed.

By the time the sky began to lighten, the inner core was just a little bit short of being completed.

If the neutron was originally the size of a steel ball, it was now the size of a needle tip.

At this moment, that familiar Black Hole Power, which had instilled fear in Lin Zhen from within, appeared again.

“Finally, it’s the most critical moment.”

“Now my Star Core is just a little bit short of being completed, and once I absorb this last bit of neutron, the Dark Star will truly be finished. But I may face something terrifying. Should I do it or not?”

As the thoughts passed through Lin Zhen’s mind, his actions had already given the answer.

Go for it!

“If I can’t face the power of the black hole now, I won’t have the courage to face the real Black Hole when I return to the time of rebirth, and I’m afraid I won’t have another chance to be reborn.”

With a sudden urging of the Dantian Qi, Lin Zhen resolutely absorbed the last bit of neutron!

In that instant, Lin Zhen seemed to see a sky full of galaxies!

The beautiful vast starry sky formed a brilliant sight in the universe.

Then, in the cosmic sky, a point appeared, growing larger and larger and beginning to spin.

It was a black hole!

Everything around it was being devoured. Each planet seemed to have become tiny droplets, being absorbed into the black hole at a high speed, then decomposed, melted, compressed, and condensed.

People cannot escape, life cannot escape, the heavenly bodies around cannot escape, dust cannot escape, light cannot escape, and souls cannot escape!

The black hole seemed to grow larger and closer in front of Lin Zhen!

The intense suffocation almost caused Lin Zhen’s spirit to collapse, his pupils dilated, his fists clenched, staring unblinkingly at the ever-closer black hole.

An intense unwillingness from the depths of the soul surged.

Lin Zhen didn’t know where the courage came from, but he pointed at the black hole: “If you dare, swallow me again, my power may be small, but if you can’t swallow me, I’ll tear you apart!”

He knew that his power compared to the Black Hole Power was like an ant facing a planet and roaring, as if he was trying to overturn the planet with his own paltry strength.

But the stubborn ant still wanted to try!

At this moment, on some level, Lin Zhen had won—he had the courage to overcome his fear.

As Lin Zhen roared, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and the black hole disappeared just like that.

Perhaps it hadn’t disappeared, but had entered the deepest part of the earth’s core and was buried deep within the Dark Star.

Lin Zhen was covered in sweat, as if he had just experienced a terrifying nightmare. When his spiritual power swept over the Dark Star again, he suddenly discovered that the Dark Star had been completed!

At this moment, a frightening power spread out from Zhao Dong Building..
