Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1015: Chapter 1018: Assassination_1 Chapter 1015: Chapter 1018: Assassination_1 Under the Twin Trees, Lin Zhen, Feng Qingluan, and Fang Fei were seated together in a triangle.

Fang Fei’s gaze fell on Lin Zhen, sizing up the young man who had recently come to prominence in the Original World.

Feng Qingluan, on the other hand, seemed a bit uneasy, worried that Fang Fei might cause trouble for Lin Zhen, feeling restless.

Her uneasiness was clearly felt by Fang Fei, who sighed silently in her heart.

Although Feng Qingluan was uneasy now, she was aware that if she sought to cause trouble for Lin Zhen, this girl would certainly not side with the Twin Trees Garden.

This must be what they meant by “a woman is not bound.”

However, right now, Fang Fei really could not allow Lin Zhen to stay any longer.

…

“Lin Zhen, you’ve seen Qing Luan, and she is safe now.

The Twin Trees Garden is a holy place for women.

I’ve thought it over.

Starting today, all male disciples in the Twin Trees Garden may leave.

No men should stay here.”

Lin Zhen nodded slightly: “That would be good.

The Twin Trees Garden is a gathering place for women, and men should not stay.”

With that, Lin Zhen took Feng Qingluan’s hand: “Luan’er, I’m leaving the Twin Trees Garden now and heading to Skyfire City.

You should practice on the surface of the Original World.”

A mist subtly rose within Feng Qingluan’s phoenix-like eyes as she nodded slightly.

*********

Happy times are always fleeting.

With Fang Fei’s special permission, Lin Zhen merely lingered for an extra hour before reluctantly bidding farewell to Little Phoenix.

After meeting Feng Qingluan, Lin Zhen had fulfilled one of his wishes — at least now Little Phoenix knew that he hadn’t forgotten her, and that was enough.

As for the matters of young love yet to bloom, they were not currently on his mind.

Sitting on the chair of the Liuli Ship, Lin Zhen began a new round of cultivation.

Traveling from the ground-level to Skyfire City was a long journey, and Lin Zhen couldn’t afford to waste time.

He currently had a few cultivation goals, one of which was to break through to the Divine Stone Period.

He was already at the God Realm Peak, and his Star Power was almost overflowing.

If Lin Zhen desired, he could break through to Divine Stone in just three to five months.

However, Lin Zhen wished to find a location, like an area of Star Explosion or where a Black Hole manifested.

He possessed a Star Disk which allowed him to observe the conditions of the starry sky within one light-year.

Since he had to break through, he would select the best region.

Once Lin Zhen enters the Divine Stone Period, he will no longer fear anyone below the rank of a Deity.

On the other hand, for the cultivation of the eighth level of Shadowless Step, Lin Zhen’s avatar had once again entered the comprehension stage.

As for his main body, it began to perfect its Divine Domain.

Lin Zhen’s Divine Domain had reached the seventh level, boosting his Star Power by seventy percent.

He wanted to ensure that his practice in the Realm of God Transformation was flawless, so he could potentially continue to increase by ten percent when advancing to the eighth level.

The process was arduous and required him to spend a lot of time each day finding minor shortcomings in his cultivation process and then perfecting them.

Typically, it could take one or two months, or even a year, to find a flaw.

But every discovery filled Lin Zhen with elation.

This round of cultivation lasted a full fourteen years.

For Lin Zhen, these fourteen years were equivalent to over three hundred years.

Over this period, Lin Zhen finally achieved significant progress.

The understanding of Shadowless Step had reached ninety-nine percent completion status.

A bit more, and Lin Zhen would be able to complete the eighth figure of Shadowless Step.

“I’m finally about to complete the eighth level.

Once I complete this level, my mastery of Shadowless Step will reach an incredibly profound level.”

“As per my understanding, the eighth level of Shadowless Step is God’s Step.

As long as I complete it, no one under the Deity can keep up with me.”

Lin Zhen hadn’t found any weaknesses in himself for two years, and was waiting for an opportunity like a Black Hole or Star Explosion so that he could make the leap to Divine Stone.

However, he hadn’t come across such an opportunity on his journey over these years, so he could only continue to wait.

Now that Shadowless Step had reached a critical juncture, Lin Zhen wanted his main body to comprehend and make a breakthrough.

But at this moment, a call came through on his Dimensional Universe communicator.

When he answered, he saw that Bai Yunyan had initiated the call.

“Brother Bai, long time no see.

How have you been?”

On the other side of the video call, Bai Yunyan looked as if he was in a rather bad mood, his face slightly sullen.

“Brother Lin, are you on your way to Skyfire City?”

“Yes, I have been away from the surface of the Original World for ten years, and I am about a year away from Skyfire City.”

“A year…..that’s soon, hurry up and come.”

“What’s going on?

Is there any change in Skyfire City?”

“Well, not really.

War clouds are gathering, and the Skyfire War will begin in about a year.

It’s better to come early and make arrangements.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Bai.

I will make sure to arrive ahead of time.”

After ending the call with Bai Yunyan, Lin Zhen slightly furrowed his brows.

Bai Yunyan seemed a bit unnatural.

What on earth had happened?

********

The Liuli Ship continued its flight in the starry sky, and in the blink of an eye, over half a year had passed.

The star nebula ahead gradually turned red, indicating that the spacecraft was drawing close to the edge of the Skyfire Star System.

In another three or four months, Lin Zhen should be able to reach the Skyfire Continent.

In the spaceship, Lin Zhen’s comprehension of the Shadowless Step had reached its final moment.

With his Spiritual Power focused on his eyes, after countless deductions, he could see through all the chaotic steps on the stone tablet.

All the misleading and illusion steps could no longer baffle Lin Zhen.

His feet moved back and forth on the ground, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Swish, swish, swish~~~!

The final step~!

Lin Zhen shouted, his foot moving in a fast-forward motion like a camera lens, and he resolutely took the last step!

After taking this profound step, a droplet of sweat slid down from Lin Zhen’s forehead.

“It was really difficult.

As I guessed, that last step doesn’t have a set formula after countless failures.

I felt that I had to let go and follow my heart to complete it!”

At the moment when Lin Zhen was overjoyed, he couldn’t help but admire the ingenious ideas of the person who created the Shadowless Step.

If he hadn’t come up with this idea and continued to study the steps methodically, he would never have understood this drawing, even till the end of time.

The last part of the eighth level did not test the observer’s power of understanding but rather their imagination.

Only those with spirit stood a chance to understand this drawing.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen had succeeded.

With the Shadowless Step, his survival skills would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

“Beep, beep, beep~~~!”

The compass that was placed on the control panel suddenly started flashing.

Lin Zhen strode over to see that a constant star about a thousand star miles to the northwest was exploding.

Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up- this was the chance he was waiting for!

As long as he had enough energy, Lin Zhen would easily break into the Divine Stone Period, this was his long-cherished wish.

Once he entered the Divine Stone, he would easily handle the Skyfire War.

Originally, he thought that he wouldn’t get a chance until he reached Skyfire City, but he didn’t expect that there would be such an opportunity at the edge of the Skyfire Star System.

Lin Zhen quickly piloted the spaceship, heading straight towards the red dot on the compass.

After flying about seven to eight hundred star miles, the hot energy ahead indicated that the Constant Star had reached a critical moment of explosion.

The protective shield of the Liuli Ship was activated.

After flying for another hundred star miles, the spaceship began to set off alarms.

If they got any closer, the spaceship’s energy would be drained.

Lin Zhen decisively towed back the spaceship, and a thundercloud appeared beneath his feet.

Looking at the huge fireball, which was big enough to block the stars, bursting in front of him, Lin Zhen began to accelerate.

“Great!

A constant star is exploding.

The energy produced here, if utilized properly, can completely raise my realm to the Late Stage of Divine Stone!”

As for the danger during a star explosion, Lin Zhen did not consider it at all.

By this time, and having experienced a star explosion once, he didn’t believe he would fall here.

Moreover, Lin Zhen believed that this place was absolutely safe.

In the area of a star explosion, not even a god would dare to stay.

If a star explosion caused a spatial collapse and created a black hole, even a god would be in great danger.

But, not Lin Zhen.

He was a Black Hole Beast, not fearing the power of black holes.

So he fearlessly moved forward and soon arrived at the explosion zone.

Huge pieces of material, large like mountains, burning and whistling towards him, were the debris from the star explosion.

If any of these pieces of debris fell on a planet like Earth, the planet would die in a short period!

Lin Zhen tread on the thundercloud, flashing from one long-distance teleportation to another, dodging piece after piece of debris.

He needed to conserve his energy to reach the core of the planet and absorb the endless energy there.

The surrounding temperature had already reached hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius, and this was not even the inner area.

Lin Zhen resolutely activated his armorization.

But this time, he did not attach gold, as metal was a better conductor of heat.

He covered his body with a layer of frost to guard at absolute zero degrees, which could ensure that the outer part of his body would not be invaded by the heatwave for a short period.

Absolute zero was his guarantee of breaking into the planet core.

But as he went deeper, even absolute zero couldn’t fully protect Lin Zhen anymore.

There was too much heat and not enough cold air to counterbalance it.

Snow Lotus opens!

A snow lotus rose on the surface of Lin Zhen’s body, adding a second layer of protection.

The moment the Snow Lotus opened, a human figure flashed in front of Lin Zhen’s eyes!

Lin Zhen was sure that this was not an illusion or hallucination.

Because that was indeed a person, wearing golden clothes, which was almost impossible to notice due to the background.

Lin Zhen was able to notice because the blade of the person had almost reached him, and along with the blade was a cold intent from the person’s body!

To survive in the depths of a star, it was necessary to maintain a cold aura.
