Chapter 808: Chapter 811: Longevity! (Third Update) _1
On Zhushan’s request, the machine ran far behind a large meteorite, waiting for the outcome of their battle.
When it saw the death ripples of the distant black hole spreading over, swallowing Lin Zhen and Zhushan, the machine was nearly scared out of its wits.
Of course, as a metallic machine, it couldn’t really lose control of its bladder.
The machine immediately turned towards escape, but once you see a black hole, there’s no running from it.
Luckily, the meteorite shielded it for a while, delaying its entrance into the range of the black hole’s death ripples.
But it had already given in to despair. Whether it happened a little sooner or a little later, it would all be the same—because as soon as its Star Power was exhausted, it would face a gateless path to death.
Just when the machine was about to give up resisting, a miracle occurred.
The roaring black hole, for some unknown reason, stopped. The death ripples seemingly lost their power and quickly retreated.
The machine that narrowly escaped death tried to call out to Zhushan, but there was no response from the other side. They probably didn’t survive.
The machine ran wildly for a while before pausing to look at the shrinking black hole. A feeling of unwillingness rose in its heart.
“Why am I running? This black hole has occurred so strangely; it must be Lin Zhen’s doing.”
“In a head-to-head battle, he’s no match for Zhushan, so he probably used the power of the black hole to kill his enemy. Everyone else is doomed in the black hole, but not Lin Zhen, because he himself is a Black Hole Beast!”
“My son is already dead, and I can’t have another son. And Lin Zhen saw me with Zhushan earlier. He will definitely tell Jin Nuo about this when he returns to the Holy Land… No! He might already be telling Jin Nuo through the Dimensional Universe. I will surely be punished when I return to the Holy Land; I cannot return now.”
The machine quickly analyzed its situation. If Lin Zhen was still at the Earth Class level, it would have still held confidence to confront him. But ever since Lin Zhen took first place in the rookie competition, the machine no longer had the desire to compete with him. It was clear that Jin Nuo valued Lin Zhen more.
“I have no way out now. If so, I might as well go all out. Lin Zhen, what does a man with no future care about? I’ll pull you down with me even in death!”
A madness flashed in the machine’s eyes. It took out the disc Zhushan had given it, started playing it with its smart life function, and began broadcasting electromagnetic waves outwards.
It believed that it wasn’t just people from the Original World who would be here in the Buffer Zone—the species from the Endless Star Sea would be here too.
And those from the Endless Star Sea who dare to enter the Buffer Zone would definitely be formidable forces!
So, whoever came, be it itself or Lin Zhen, would all meet their end!
This was the machine’s final madness!
**********
At this moment, Lin Zhen was facing the most important breakthrough of his life.
Out of a hundred people, there will be a hundred different personalities.
Some people have strong and tenacious willpower, useful for climbing to the peak, but these are the few.
The majority of people have somewhat lower pursuits.
But there is one process that everyone looks forward to, and that is the Longevity Realm.
Once you enter the Longevity Realm, as long as you’re not killed by someone, you basically have eternal life.
99.999999% of martial artists aim for nothing more than longevity in their lifetime.
As long as they can reach the Longevity Realm, most martial artists choose to begin enjoying life. They build their own Longevity Temples, settle down in various places in the Original World, and enjoy the offerings from people. As long as they don’t squander recklessly, they have an endless supply of money.
Some people live in the mundane world, enjoying the myriad experiences of life, or pursue the hobbies they had to suppress due to martial arts training, and begin a new life.
Some people become poets, some become calligraphers, some become painters, hobbyists, enthusiasts—the list goes on. Because they have plenty of time to spend, they create amazing achievements in various fields.
You can say that many notable figures in the Original World are indeed in the Longevity Realm!
There are several key turning points in a martial artist’s training journey.
One is the beginner’s stage, which determines whether you have the qualification to become a martial artist. This step is crucial.
Another is the Star Realm stage, which determines whether you can advance from War God to Star Realm. This is also important as it determines how far you can go in the future.
Of course, in the Original World, these two stages don’t exist, because as soon as infants in this world cry out, they already have a Star Core within them.
Next is the Black Hole Period. Whether one can cross this threshold and advance to the Star System Stage is a crucial turning point for martial artists. If successful, they will enjoy a life span of ten thousand years. If they fail, they will be completely destroyed.
Lastly, there is Longevity. This is the ultimate dream for most martial artists.
This is one of Lin Zhen’s dreams as well. But only one of them. Lin Zhen has even higher ambitions. He is one of those few individuals with immeasurably steadfast willpower.
Now that this day has finally arrived, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but feel incredibly excited!
Only after crossing the Longevity realm could he have the qualification to pursue the peak. Without passing this stage, he wouldn’t even have the chance to pursue his dream.
“Longevity Realm, here I come!”
“Not only do I want to achieve Longevity, but I also want to become the most powerful of them all!”
With the surge of Black Hole Power, Lin Zhen’s strength was soaring rapidly.
At this moment, he was suppressing this overflowing power, trying to delay his breakthrough as much as possible.
But he couldn’t suppress it for long. His Star Power was on the verge of breaking through, uncontrollable. When he absorbed about one-third of the Black Hole Power, the Longevity breakthrough occurred!
The limitation barrier was shattered!
By this time, all the medicinal effects within Lin Zhen’s body had been fully resolved. Without any hesitation, he took out the prepared elixir and Star Crystal and swallowed it whole!
If I am to make a breakthrough, then let it be the most powerful breakthrough!
The dual increase from the elixir and black hole power launched Lin Zhen’s realm sky high!
With a flash of darkness and light before his eyes, his body formed a magical cycle!
All his organs changed at that moment, these organs would never decay again, no longer subjected to the constraints of life, aging, sickness, and death. As long as Lin Zhen’s soul never perished and his body never shattered, his organs would operate forever!
All the toxins, impurities, and all other harmful things in his body vanished during the breakthrough.
The star power began to soar madly, an unprecedented surge!
Lin Zhen’s star power was previously 52 million, with the star power of his body and the inner world each accounting for about half.
The body had 26 million and the inner world another 26 million.
The first to break through was Lin Zhen’s physical body!
Lin Zhen had found a pattern, this perfect breakthrough with overflowing star power could double his star power.
So when Lin Zhen broke through the last barrier, his physical star power soared, reaching 52 million directly!
Together with the star power of the inner world, his star power had already reached 78 million!
But this was not the limit.
Each time the World King Realm advanced a level, the star power increased by two million. However, each time the Longevity Realm advanced a level, star power increased by five million. This was Lin Zhen’s standard.
The higher the base, the greater the increase.
Under the dual influences of the black hole and the elixir, his realm was unlikely to be confined to the first level of Longevity. It kept soaring.
But at this moment, Lin Zhen’s Evil Star Jidu was finally ignited!
The last time he ignited the Po Jun Star, it increased Lin Zhen’s star power by five million.
However, the star power of Po Jun Star couldn’t be compared to Jidu.
The corner of the Jidu Star, above the Dark Star, was uncontrollably unfolded. A huge amount of star power, like a hanging Milky Way, endlessly poured into his inner world.
Twenty-two million star power!
This single star bestowed Lin Zhen with a whopping twenty-two million star power!
Thus, the star power in Lin Zhen’s inner world reached 48 million. Combined with his body, the total was exactly one hundred million!
From the World King Peak to the Longevity Realm, Lin Zhen’s star power had finally exceeded one hundred million!
Lin Zhen had once heard a legend that to enter the God Transformation Realm, the minimum threshold was one hundred million star power. By the standards of his present Longevity Realm, could he be considered on par with the weakest God Transformation?
Lin Zhen knew that he could not be the weakest because his breakthrough was not yet fully complete.
The star power from the elixir was still enormously huge, enough to support his continued climb to the peak!
Starting from the first level of Longevity, Lin Zhen started a breakthrough blitz.
From level one to level two, star power reached one hundred and five million!
From level two to level three, star power reached one hundred and ten million!
When Lin Zhen broke through from Field King to World King, he reached the third level of World King. But this time, with the power of the black hole supporting him from behind, Lin Zhen wouldn’t stop at level three!
After reaching the third level, the power of the black hole hadn’t been completely consumed, it actually took Lin Zhen straight up to the fourth level of Longevity!
Star power reached one hundred and fifteen million!
Lin Zhen’s finger was trembling slightly from excitement. This was already the Longevity Middle Stage!
But strictly speaking, level four is not considered the real middle stage. Level five is the middle stage.
During the process when Lin Zhen was thinking about this, he actually reached level five!
Star power reached one hundred and twenty million!
This was something Lin Zhen couldn’t even imagine before the breakthrough. He actually directly reached level five of Longevity. At this time, the power of the black hole he devoured also finally approached its end.
“Give me a bit more power, let me reach the Intermediate Peak!”
Lin Zhen thought, and swallowed the Naked Singularity, which contained the almost depleted power of the black hole, in one gulp!
The Naked Singularity contained the final and strongest power of the black hole. When he swallowed it, a miracle really happened!
The realm, which was about to stagnate, suddenly soared insanely once again, straight to level six!
Star power reached one hundred and twenty-five million!
An unprecedented power was raging inside Lin Zhen’s body, a force so powerful that it seemed capable of annihilating the world!
His long hair was flying and dancing in the air. The black hole had completely disappeared. Between the heaven and the earth, only Lin Zhen was sitting there. Around him was endless vacuum!
He looked like a Demon God at that moment!
From the past life to the present, after more than two thousand years of pursuing the martial way to the peak, he finally achieved a significant result.
From this point on, Lin Zhen achieved immortality!
