Chapter 459: 459: Enemy in the Late Black Hole Stage

It was said that the strongest Asura Warriors were born in the Sea of Blood, while those born outside were merely ordinary Asura.

Every Asura Warrior was an incredibly strong Constant Star Level Nine.

However, ghosts were merely ghosts; after all, they couldn’t compare to the wisdom of humans. These Asura Warriors were gradually devoured by the Heavenly Tower gang, and their numbers dwindled.

After exterminating a large number of Asura Warriors, the Heavenly Tower began to collect a massive amount of Cosmic Crystals in the area.

Jin Haonan, holding a Space Ring, ran playfully along the way and came to a man in black clothing.

“Boss Xuanzhu, this is our team’s harvest in the last two hours, please take a look.”

The man in black had eyes like an eagle and had reached the Late Black Hole Stage, making him awe-inspiring. He was on the verge of breaking through to the Star System Stage and was a leading figure among the younger generation of the Heavenly Tower—his name was Xuanzhu. He always charged at the front during gang fights and had a record of killing Black Hole Stage experts when he had just entered the Constant Star Stage. This kind of talent was rare in a hundred years.

Taking Jin Haonan’s Space Ring, Xuanzhu, who was close to the Sky Blue Peak, swept through it with his Spiritual Power and suddenly glared: “Someone is hiding something!”

“No, boss, absolutely not. I wouldn’t dare…” Jin Haonan’s legs trembled in fear. He was well aware of Xuanzhu’s ruthlessness, and hiding anything would.have serious consequences.

“Whether there is or not isn’t up to you. Call everyone in your team over!”

A moment later, Jin Haonan’s group of one hundred people gathered in front of Xuanzhu.

“Do you think I’m easy to deceive? I’ve explored the eastern area that you were in charge of, and there were a total of seven million Cosmic Crystals. But there are only five and a half million in your ring. Where did the rest go?”

“Boss Xuanzhu, there might have been some left behind when cleaning up. We’ll go back and look for them right away.”

“I know there would be some left behind, but it wouldn’t be more than a million; at least half a million Cosmic Crystals are missing.”

Xuanzhu’s voice became increasingly cold: “I’m giving you a chance now. Anyone who is hiding something, step forward, and I’ll leave your corpse whole.”

Everyone shuddered but no one spoke.

“Alright, since nobody admits it, everyone, open up your Space Rings!”

Many people showed panic on their faces, but they all cooperated and raised their hands, opening their Space Rings as Xuanzhu’s Spiritual Power swept through them one by one.

When his Spiritual Power reached a pale-faced man, he stopped.

“It’s you!”

“Ah, no, boss Xuanzhu, there isn’t a single Cosmic Crystal in my ring.”

“Did you think I was looking at your rings? I was looking at your expressions. When I asked to open the rings, only your face had a look of triumph. Moreover, there are a few in everybody else’s rings, but not even a single one in yours. Did you overdo your act?”

The pale-faced man tried to argue back, but with a Mental Shock from Xuanzhu, his brain went blank, and he was unable to talk.

“Soul Searching!”

Xuanzhu’s Spiritual Power wandered in the other’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea, exposing the man’s hidden memories.

However, during the Soul Searching, his Spiritual Power encountered strong resistance.

“Damn, this person is being controlled!”

Xuanzhu’s face changed, and his Spiritual Power output increased, forcibly searching the man’s soul!

When his Spiritual Power, which was in the Late Sky Blue Stage, forcibly searched the soul, the other person’s mental control was broken, but the man became a vegetable.

“It’s actually a Spiritual Mind Master almost as strong as me, with only a slight difference. I didn’t expect such an existence here.”

Although someone was working behind the scenes, Xuanzhu had no time to deal with it. He was currently preparing to attack the Asura King. Before that, he couldn’t afford any mistakes. He hoped that the person working behind the scenes wouldn’t be bold enough to confront the Heavenly Tower openly.

Moreover, he had absolute confidence to deal with anyone in this World Stone as long as he didn’t directly confront the Dimensional Universe Company or the Dimensional Arena.

However, during the following period, the situation where Cosmic Crystals were repeatedly hidden and people were secretly controlled annoyed Xuanzhu.

“Boss, this isn’t working. We’ve already lost four million Cosmic Crystals in one day. The opponent is very accurate, targeting those who collect a lot and controlling them invisibly.”

Xuanzhu nodded: “This can’t go on. In fact, I’m not too worried about losing some Cosmic Crystals; I’m more concerned that this person will cause trouble when we go to deal with the Asura King.”

“What should we do then?” Jin Haonan asked.

“It seems that we’ll have to take some measures. We must find the one who is causing trouble.”

Lin Zhen silently counted the Cosmic Crystals in his hand, now numbering nearly eight million. As soon as he reached ten million, he could immediately leave and go to the Dimensional Universe Company to exchange for the first golden paper.

He could actually borrow some from Ni Ke since he believed she wouldn’t refuse, but Lin Zhen didn’t want to do that. The two of them were merely cooperating, and he didn’t want to ruin their relationship.

“Lin Zhen, this way is great. I guide them to find the most and then you control them quietly. They hid the Cosmic Crystals, and we went to fetch them stealthily. With thousands of people working for us, it’s much faster than us looking for them.”

“Hehe! It’s a good plan, but I’m afraid the other side won’t just sit still and wait for death.”

“Never mind that, look at the one in the gray clothes, the aura on him is the strongest, he must have millions of Cosmic Crystals on him, probably a small leader.”

Lin Zhen nodded and waved one hand, creating a crack in the Foldable Space, putting his focus on the man Ni Ke pointed out.

That man seemed unaware, and kept searching around, even distancing himself from the group a bit.

“Now’s the time!”

Feeling that the person had come close to where he and Ni Ke were hiding, Lin Zhen quietly launched Soul Lock!

“Bang!”

Powerful Spiritual Power enveloped the man, his body stiffened, and he was about to be controlled by Lin Zhen.

Just as Lin Zhen felt he was about to succeed, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

“This person has already been controlled; he’s a bait!”

Before Lin Zhen could withdraw his Spiritual Power, an extremely powerful Spiritual Power followed behind, forcefully hitting Lin Zhen’s mind!

It had been a long time since he had felt such a headache. Ever since Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power advanced to the Sky Blue, he had mostly been crushing other Martial Artists, but now he was finding himself facing one with even stronger Spiritual Power, catching him off guard.

With his Spiritual Power interrupted, Lin Zhen and Ni Ke immediately appeared from within the concealed Foldable Space.

“Over here! Found them!”

The originally focused Heavenly Tower members searching for Cosmic Crystals immediately shouted and gathered around, revealing that this was clearly a trap.

Arriving first was a man in black clothing, Xuanzhu.

Xuanzhu gently rubbed his forehead: “Damn, so strong Spiritual Power. The rebound force is making my head feel like it’s being pierced by needles.”

He attacked Lin Zhen with his Spiritual Power, but the strong rebound also made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing the thousands of people gathered around and facing Xuanzhu who had reached the Late Black Hole Stage, Lin Zhen knew that this battle would not be easy today.

Even though he had entered the Satellite Stage and had the power of the Dark Star, he had never faced someone in the Black Hole Period before, especially someone in the Late Black Hole Stage.

He patted Ni Ke’s shoulder: “Buddy, we’re in trouble today. There are thousands of them, and I’m afraid I can only deal with this one.”

“What about the others?” Ni Ke asked.

“Of course, it’s up to you, my short Spirit Clan friend. If you can hold off everyone else, we might have a chance in this fight. If you can’t, we might be stuck here in the Yellow Springs forever as two ghosts.”

Ni Ke made a bitter face: “I’m a pacifist, I prefer fine wine, poetry, sculpture, and shiny things, not fighting and killing.”

“Win this fight, and you can have as much of those things as you want.”

Lin Zhen raised his hand and took out the Yin-Yang Spear.

“Impressive, to think you could come up with such a method to lure me out.” Lin Zhen looked at Xuanzhu in front of him.

“Hmph! Daring to steal from our Heavenly Tower, I think you’re tired of living. Even Heaven’s King can’t save you today.”

As soon as Xuanzhu finished speaking, Jin Haonan rubbed his eyes from the back: “Boss Xuanzhu, I know this guy. His name is Lin Zhen, and he’s from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. It’s because of him that I couldn’t enter the Dimensional Universe for a month, delaying me from inheriting my family’s matters!”

“From the Star River Giant Beast Alliance?”

Xuanzhu’s expression turned cold: “What, does the Star River Giant Beast Alliance want to play the game of robbing each other too? Even if you’re a cross-universe group, you’re still a little short of competing with our Heavenly Tower here in the Sanjiang Star Domain. Now, hand over all the Cosmic Crystals, and I’ll pretend that none of this ever happened.”

Lin Zhen scoffed: “We already robbed you, so how can we talk about handing them over? It would just be a laughingstock. If you have the ability, come and take them yourself. If you don’t, then shut up!”

“Fuck! Courting death!”

Xuanzhu, after all, was a gangster. Seeing that Lin Zhen wasn’t giving him any face, he immediately became furious: “Brothers, you deal with the short, fat one. This Lin Zhen is mine!”

As soon as his words fell, Lin Zhen’s figure twisted, attempting to teleport into the crowd.

Interruption!

Xuanzhu’s Spiritual Power was a bit stronger than Lin Zhen’s and forcefully interrupted Lin Zhen’s teleportation!

“Using Spiritual Power in front of me? It’s like showing off one’s skills to an expert!”

Xuanzhu spoke, sending another Mental Shock, then quickly charged forward, his blade bringing wind and clouds, screaming at hundreds of times the speed of sound.

The blade’s path caused space to collapse, elemental storms surged, an unmatched power!

The others also howled, surrounding Ni Ke like a pack of wolves.

Lin Zhen’s expression turned serious, as one could discern an expert’s skill the moment they made a move. This Xuanzhu was definitely the strongest enemy he had ever faced, and today’s battle would be tough!
