Chapter 913: Chapter 916: Four Positions_1 Chapter 913: Chapter 916: Four Positions_1 Lin Zhen was not bragging.

After resting for half an hour, he felt restored and moved forward again, entering the ninety-meter circle.

Once he made it within ninety meters, the thunderstorm from the sky struck again.

Sixteen streaks of lightning came in four waves, each more fierce than the last!

Lin Zhen, who possessed a certain resistance to lightning, initially thought he could easily pass the first two or even three gates.

But here he realized that he was wrong.

The lightning power at ninety meters was more than twice as strong as it was at one hundred meters, so strong that Lin Zhen almost vomited blood.

By the time he struggled through the sixteen streaks of lightning, his body was somewhat twitching from the blows!

The challenge was even greater for Lin Zhen who was attempting to use the Black Hole to devour the lightning without dispersing it, so he ended up suffering more than other martial artists.

“It seems I was overly optimistic.

Even though I have a resistance to lightning and an Immortal Spiritual Body, devouring lightning is no easy task.

Others only need to withstand the lightning while I need to absorb it as well.

This takes a lot of endurance, and by comparison, I’m at no advantage whatsoever.”
Lin Zhen sat up, surrounded by a few demi-gods and King-sealing Powerhouses.

Seeing him awake, they turned and left.

At this point, the path was mostly taken by King-sealing Powerhouses.

Lin knew that compared to them, his Star Power was not outstanding, and his rich combat skills were of no use against these thunderbolts.

Moreover, the thunder lightning devoured by the Dantian within Lin Zhen wasn’t easy to digest.

The first circle’s lightning only had nine streaks and was not strong, but the second circle’s lightning had sixteen streaks and the power behind it was doubled.

Especially under the circumstance where Lin Zhen controlled the Black Hole to avoid assimilation, these thunderbolts made him feel as uncomfortable as having indigestible food.

Looking at the departing demi-gods and King-sealers, and then looking at his body which was somewhat damaged due to the power of the lightning, Lin Zhen knew that his hope for a quick breakthrough had been dashed.

“Each time I advance, I must digest the lightning inside me to prevent them from causing trouble.

Otherwise, if the internal lightning resonates with the external lightning, it will be a big trouble.”
“My three Destructive God Thunders need slow cultivation.

This divine thunder is great for nourishment.”
Boom, boom, boom~~~!!

The fierce thunderbolt struck again, turning a demi-god powerhouse who had just entered into charred ashes.

The surrounding martial artists swarmed in.

This time Lin Zhen didn’t join in, because he hadn’t fully recovered yet and moving slowly won’t get him much, he simply wouldn’t be able to grab anything.

Without caring about the gains of others, Lin Zhen closed his eyes to rest.

“Hehe!

Let me see who this guy is?

Isn’t this the arrogant Lin Zhen from the Ground Clan?

Why isn’t he moving forwards?” Suddenly a voice rang out.

On opening his eyes, Lin Zhen saw in front of him, between eighty and seventy meters, a towering Endless Species King-sealer turned around to look at him.

Asura King!

After the battle at the Planet Graveyard, Lin Zhen had not seen Asura King since.

He didn’t expect to meet him here.

Lin Zhen snorted through his nostrils, “No need to be impatient, it won’t be long before I surpass you.”
“Empty Talks!

You have no idea how much effort it takes to move forward at each level.

With your strength, you can never surpass me.”
Lin Zhen disdainfully said, “We’ll see.

When I surpass you, please don’t make a fool of yourself as a King-sealer.”
Asura King gave Lin Zhen a fierce look, “There’s no need to be slick.

Once this is over, your end is near!”
No longer arguing with Lin Zhen, Asura King turned and went back to training.

At that moment, suddenly a commotion broke out in the crowd.

“Someone is going to challenge the seventy-meter circle!”
“So strong.

Only Blood Shadow has entered the range of seventy to sixty meters before, this is the second one.

I wonder if he can survive this lightning tribulation!”
“Who is this guy?

Is it the Ruthless King?”
“It is him.

There are rumors that the Ruthless King has Hall of Fame Level strength, I didn’t believe it before, but now it seems that the rumors are true.”
Lin Zhen looked up and saw a man in white robes braving the thunderbolts and entering the seventy-meter range.

Thirty-six streaks of lightning came down in a chain.

Even though he was twenty meters away, Lin Zhen could still feel the immense power, a force that he could not resist at present.

The Ruthless King, with his surging Star Power, forcibly withstood the continuous lightning until it ceased.

When the last spark of lightning disappeared, the fallen Ruthless King used his arms to push himself up.

His white robe had turned black, but he was still alive.

Blood Shadow, the Hall of Fame Martial Artist of the Endless Species, looked at the Ruthless King with a frown.

He didn’t expectto see someone keeping pace with him here.

“Blood Shadow, don’t think that the title of the Hall of Fame represents everything.

You only made it into the Hall of Fame because of good luck.

If I had that opportunity, I could do the same!”
With fierce eyes, Blood Shadow stared at the Ruthless King, “Boy, do not think that by keeping up with me temporarily, you can compete with me.

You will never know how powerful the Hall of Fame Level is.”
The Ruthless King snorted, “I don’t need to know.

All I need to know is that if I beat you, I will be in the Hall of Fame.

After this is over, I will challenge you.

Be prepared!”
The surging Star Power on his body made even Blood Shadow secretly astonished.

The strength of the Ruthless King was getting close to his, and he knew that in a duel between masters, slight difference in Star Power was not the key to victory or defeat.

Just based on Star Power level, the Ruthless King was worthy of challenging him.

Blood Shadow was shocked.

Ɲονցο.сο

He didn’t expect that after Xiao Cangsheng, another Ground Clan powerhouse could measure up to the Hall of Fame!

“You…

your strength has progressed again!”
Ruthless King sneered, his gaze sweeping back to Lin Zhen.

In his previous fight with Lin Zhen, Ruthless King had almost assassinated Lin with a single sword stroke.

That stroke had released many of his internal grievances and improved his mindset, allowing him to make another breakthrough.

Now, Ruthless King was far stronger than when he had first fought Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen noticed Ruthless King’s scornful and murderous gaze.

He knew that the vendetta between them would eventually come to a conclusion.

Slowing closing his eyes, Lin Zhen set aside these thoughts.

His priority was now to cultivate, stabilise the thunder power within him, and prepare for the next round of challenges.

Inside the Star of the Thunder God, a relatively stable period had begun.

Every Martial Artist scrambled to cultivate, striving for the most advanced positions.

At the beginning, many had misjudged their own strength, prematurely advancing and ending in dismal failure.

As time passed, the Martial Artists became wiser, no longer rushing forward and only taking action when they were fully confident.

At this moment, another piece of shocking news arrived.

**********
The four deities ruling the Storm Eye Star System announced a piece of news.

Four people would ultimately participate in each Divine Treasure contest.

On each of the four edges of the massive Divine Stone—east, south, west, and north—there was one spot.

Each spot was within a ten-meter radius.

Once all four spots were filled, the Divine Stone would start its extraction process.

Until then, the Divine Stone would have a protective cover, preventing anyone from taking even the slightest portion.

Once this news broke, it immediately caused a stir among the Martial Artists.

Everyone was apprehensive about the contest for the Divine Stone.

They feared that after many years of hard cultivation, they would still fall short at the final hurdle, allowing others to get ahead.

But now, there were four spots.

As a result, the chances of competition increased dramatically.

The Divine Stone couldn’t be activated unless all four spots were filled.

Therefore, one would only need to rank in the top four to participate.

This news acted like a shot of adrenaline, instilling martial artists with courage, and triggering another wave of cultivation frenzy.

*********
Meanwhile, Wen Tao, the reporter from the Dimensional Universe, gave a fresh update on the situation.

“Dear viewers, the situation at the Storm Eye has entered a crucial stage.

It’s now the seventh year since the opening of the Storm Eye.

Numerous experts who have arrived here are now congregated in the Wind Thunder Valley, beginning the final contest.”
“The treasures of the two gods are right there, and I have filmed many arriving experts.”
“The Star of the Thunder God is indeed attracting a multitude of experts.

Ruthless King has challenged the Hall of Fame strong, Blood Shadow, both currently leading.

Behind them, many king-sealing powerhouses such as the Asura King can be seen.”
“And Lin Zhen, who I’ve been closely monitoring, has now entered between the range of eighty and ninety meters.

I’ll keep an eye on him to see how far he can go.”
“Who will triumph in the contest for the treasure?

Who will be the top four on every planet?

After the contest for the Gemini Star Treasure concludes, a battle will inevitably ensue between the Ground Clan and Endless Species.

Wen Tao will continue to report on the situation here!”
Slowly time continues to slip away….

Half a month after Lin Zhen arrived here, he crossed the line of eighty meters, devouring twenty-five Divine Thunders.

Two months later, he leaped past the line of seventy meters, swallowing thirty-six Divine Thunders, reaching Blood Shadow’s previous position.

However, by this time, the First Group had formed, composed of Blood Shadow, Ruthless King, Asura King, and five other king-sealing powerhouses.

Assigning to the contest for the Divine Treasures, all Martial Artists began to compete desperately.

Some previously low-key individuals were now fully unleashing their capabilities, revealing hidden powerhouses everywhere.

The eight experts from the First Group had already entered the range within fifty meters.

When reaching sixty meters, there were forty-nine Divine Thunders.

When reaching fifty meters, there were sixty-four Divine Thunders, each round of Divine Thunder almost doubling in strength.

Half a year later, Lin Zhen crossed the sixty-meter line, while the First Group still remained within the fifty meter line.

A year later, by the time Lin Zhen reached the fifty-meter line, the First Group had already crossed the forty-meter mark.

The forty-meter circle faced an onslaught of as many as eighty-one Divine Thunders, their strength earth-shakingly formidable.

During this process, two more king-sealing powerhouses were eliminated.

Only six individuals remained in the First Group.

Lin Zhen was still at the fifty-meter mark, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of urgency.

The contest for the Divine Treasure was not a hundred-meter sprint, but a marathon.

Lin Zhen had ample patience to make it to the end.

Moreover, his primary focus now was to suppress the thunderstorm group within him.

Nine, sixteen, twenty-five, thirty-six, forty-nine, sixty-four…

Lin Zhen had already passed through six stages.

That thunder had agglomerated into a powerful storm within him, awaiting its ultimate release!
