Chapter 359: 359: Ascending the Heaven’s List
“This spear was born in my world and transformed from the purple qi. Others simply wouldn’t be able to use it. I can feel its extreme weight, but in my hands, it is as light as a feather.”
“If I were to define a quality for this spear, it would be above the sacred, but not quite at the level of an artifact.”
As Lin Zhen infused Star Power into the spear, it quivered slightly, and faint sharpness emanated from it.
“The stronger I am, the stronger this spear becomes. To what extent it can develop, only time will tell.”
The transformation of the spear consumed only one in a thousand parts of the purple qi. The remaining large cluster of purple qi floated motionlessly in Lin Zhen’s Dantian, waiting for his power to grow stronger to utilize more of it.
As for what this purple qi was, Lin Zhen had no clue and had never heard of it before.
“This spear needs a name.”
Lin Zhen looked at the Dark Star Space, which contained the sun, moon, and stars. The sun symbolized Yang, and the moon symbolized Yin. He decided to call the spear Yin-Yang.
Yin-Yang Spear didn’t even need to be stored in the Space Ring. With just a thought, Lin Zhen could send it into his Dantian.
“My Dark Star has entered the Ancient Universe, signifying that this world is stable. The Star Power of the Ancient Universe is equivalent to the Meteor Early Stage, but with the Dark Star Ring, my Star Power has increased by about three levels, roughly equivalent to the Meteor Middle Stage.”
“Of course, externally, I still appear as a Quasi-Star Realm, as my Dantian Qi has not evolved into the Star Realm. It seems that I must find time to strengthen my Dantian Qi since the impression of a Quasi-Star Realm will not suffice to command respect.”
As Lin Zhen contemplated, he had already passed through the turbulence layer of Earth’s atmosphere and descended below the clouds.
The meteorites were falling in the direction of Hua Xia, and Lin Zhen was trying his best to head towards Ice City.
He was worried that Yan Huang had returned to Earth earlier than himself and might be causing trouble for his family. He had to hurry there and see for himself.
As Lin Zhen swooped down, he glanced back at the sky. When he passed the Moon, he felt like something nearby was spying on him, but he couldn’t spare any time for it, as it was a critical moment in his promotion to Dark Star.
“No matter who you are, it’s best not to have any malicious intentions.”
His body quickly descended, and Ice City Base City appeared in his field of view.
Heading straight to Jiangbei District, Lin Zhen soon saw his family’s villa.
“There are people fighting!”
At a glance, Lin Zhen could see that the battle in front of his house was incredibly fierce, involving three powerful fighters.
Among the three, two were besieging one person.
“That person is Yan Huang! He really went after my family!”
Lin Zhen recognized the glowing figure as Yan Huang, who, after comprehending Light Quantum, always had a radiant aura during a battle, currently engaged in combat with another foreigner against a man in a green robe.
The man in the green robe was none other than Chen Fenglie, the founder of Gale Martial Arts Hall.
Chen Fenglie was now guarding Lin Zhen’s front door, and there was no doubt that Yan Huang and the other person were their enemy.
Lin Zhen’s gratitude towards Chen Fenglie fueled his anger. He activated his Lightning Wings to their maximum speed and let out a sharp, shrill howl as he swooped towards the ground!
Ivanoff was ranked 18th on the Heavenly Star List and was initially in 17th place but was challenged by Chen Fenglie, causing him to drop down one spot.
Being the last on the Heavenly Star List meant enduring challenges from the Dark Star List, so no one wanted that position. He was comfortable at 17th place until Chen Fenglie challenged him down.
He had wanted to take revenge on Chen Fenglie for a long time and reclaim the 17th position, but he feared Chen Fenglie’s Sword Domain.
At the beginning of the day’s events, he didn’t think Yan Huang would win against Chen Fenglie.
As expected, even with his Undying Body, Yan Huang was on the verge of defeat, but suddenly, a turning point occurred. An energy beam from the sky struck Chen Fenglie’s Sword Domain, giving Yan Huang an opportunity to turn the tide.
Ivanoff saw his chance and acted on it. Clearly, someone mighty was helping Yan Huang from the shadows. By getting involved, Ivanoff could not only befriend this powerhouse but also achieve revenge with a win-win scenario.
Without hesitation, Ivanoff, who was nearby in the ice city, drove his aircraft to Lin Zhen’s doorstep.
When Ivanoff unexpectedly joined the fray, Chen Fenglie became tense: “Ivanoff, you’re a warrior of the Heavenly Star List! Are you really stooping to taking advantage of my predicament?”
“Hahaha, victory is all that matters! Who cares about taking advantage? Yan Huang, do you need my help?”
Yan Huang originally intended to decline, but defeating Chen Fenglie wouldn’t be easy even with his Undying Body. He could use some assistance.
Besides, when he looked up at Lin Zhen’s house, he saw An Ning accompanying Lin Zhen’s parents at the window. Her beautiful face stirred passion within Yan Huang. If he couldn’t have Su Mingyue, An Ning was a good alternative.
“Alright, Ivanoff. I, Yan Huang, consider you my friend. Let’s fight together!”The two immediately began to attack Chen Fenglie from both sides, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Chen Fenglie could win against Ivanov alone, though with difficulty, as the gap in strength was not large. But now, with the addition of a fearless Yan Huang, he suddenly found it difficult to resist.
After exchanging a few quick moves, Chen Fenglie gave Yan Huang another piercing sword strike, but his back was also injured by Ivanov’s sword, and his thigh received a Grim Reaper Scythe from Yan Huang.
His body staggered backward, and Yan Huang, who should have been dead, began to recover again.
“Chen Fenglie! You can’t even run away now. I’m going to take back the rank I lost!”
Ivanov and Yan Huang stood shoulder to shoulder once more, preparing for a new round of attack.
Chen Fenglie sighed as it seemed difficult to end things peacefully today.
“Die!”
Yan Huang was the first to jump up, filled with hatred towards Chen Fenglie. If it weren’t for his Undying Body, he would have been killed by Chen Fenglie ten times already. Now it was time for revenge.
Just as Chen Fenglie prepared to gather his last strength to resist, he saw a stream of light coming at high speed from a distance behind Yan Huang!
“Yan Huang! Get out!”
The stream of light aimed straight at Yan Huang, who had no time to attack Chen Fenglie and swung his Light Annihilation back in a fierce counterattack!
But the speed of the newcomer was even faster, and before Light Annihilation could reach its target, a purple aura had already struck Yan Huang’s cheek with a heavy blow!
“Puff!”
The Star Sky Crown helped Yan Huang block the attack for a moment, but he was still sent flying into the air by the purple light. The powerful impact instantly destroyed his brain, and his skull was left hanging limp!
He died on the spot!
It was unknown whether the Star Sky Crown would still restore Yan Huang after his brain had died.
Only then did Chen Fenglie and Ivanov see clearly who had come to their aid.
Lin Zhen!
They often saw Lin Zhen online, but today, seeing him in person felt quite different than what they saw on the internet.
Lin Zhen wore a black outfit, holding a four-meter-long purple spear in his hand. His black hair was slightly messy, his eyes shining like stars. He stood simply and steadily, giving people an extremely powerful feeling.
Even though his aura seemed no less than theirs, his realm only appeared to be at the Pre-Star Realm.
The Star Power Lin Zhen just released couldn’t be faked, but with their eyes, they couldn’t see where the problem was. This made them increasingly cautious.
Just as Chen Fenglie was about to speak, Lin Zhen gave a fist salute to Chen Fenglie: “Chen senior, Lin Zhen greets you. Thank you for saving my family. I shall repay you someday.”
“Hehe, do you think it’s appropriate to call me a senior?” Chen Fenglie asked with a smile.
Lin Zhen also smiled: “You are a Heavenly Star List expert, so it’s appropriate to call you a senior.”
Chen Fenglie waved his hand slightly and then pointed at Ivanov: “This man is also on the Heavenly Star List, and he wants to take advantage of the situation to come after me. If he succeeds, not only will I die, but your family, Lin Zhen, will also face a great disaster. Fortunately, you arrived in time, or he might have succeeded. Lin Zhen, this is your chance to join the Heavenly Star List.”
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on Ivanov, and he knew that Chen Fenglie was not instigating discord. Ivanov was indeed plotting this.
Ivanov raised his eyebrows when he saw Lin Zhen looking at him: “Lin Zhen, let’s end today’s matter here. Pretend I never came. I hope you won’t interfere with my personal grudge with Chen Fenglie, after all, this is a matter between those on the Heavenly Star List.”
“Matters of the Heavenly Star List….”
Lin Zhen sneered, “You can explain it to the ghosts in hell!”
With a movement of his Yin-Yang Spear, he aimed straight at Ivanov’s chest.
Ivanov’s face turned cold. He considered himself a Heavenly Star List expert and thought that explaining to Lin Zhen was already giving him face. He didn’t expect Lin Zhen to be so ignorant and still dared to take action.
“Do you think the Heavenly Star List is made of paper? Young man, you are too arrogant!”
Ivanov decided to give Lin Zhen a harsh lesson and conjured two long knives, his left hand knife deflecting Lin Zhen’s spear, and his right hand knife prepared to counterattack.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen sneered and activated Unbreakable!
The Yin-Yang Spear, combined with the Unbreakable martial skill, was enough to give this Heavenly Star List expert a huge surprise.
Under Chen Fenglie’s wide-eyed gaze, Lin Zhen’s spear pierced through Ivanov’s heart without hindrance. Ivanov’s attempt to block with his left-hand knife proved useless as the purple spear stabbed through his heart!
Gold Qi Strangulation!
Ivanov’s internal organs shattered, and he died on the spot!
Chen Fenglie saw clearly as the Heavenly Star List fluctuated, Ivanov’s name disappeared, and in its place appeared Lin Zhen, ranked 18th on the Heavenly Star List!
