At this mont, Shasha had lost all ability to resist and instinctively fell prey to Lin Zhen’s Soul Lock, muttering a few words.
After uttering these last words, her head slumped to one side. She had died.
Lin Zhen turned to gaze at the distant space, silently lanting the loss.
With Shasha’s death, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship automatically set course for ho.
Moreover, Shasha had ntioned that she failed her mission, the Anderson family will dispatch more assassins after him.
“Check what’s the story behind the Anderson family,” Lin Zhen imdiately commanded Chris.
“Very well, master.”
After about three minutes, Chris reported: “Master, the Anderson family is one of the eight major families within the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. Their family headquarters lie in Tianyao Star, the capital of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The family head, Anderson, is a powerful figure in the Star System Stage. The family puts strong emphasis on the training of its mbers. Each mber is an expert from the Asura Arena. They are very famous among the rcenary groups in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. They will carry out a mission until it is accomplished, no matter how many tis they fail.”
“It appears Shasha was telling the truth. As she failed, there’ll be stronger forces after next.”
Lin Zhen pondered quietly. According to the rcenary’s usual pattern, the failure of a Planet Stage would then require a Constant Star Stage to step in.
If the Constant Star Stage fails as well, their opponent might even dispatch experts from the Black Hole Period, and in the end, the family head of the Anderson family might even co after him personally.”
Black Hole Period, Star System Stage, these two levels of people are currently invincible to Lin Zhen.
So he only has one chance, and that is when the next opponent arrives.
Even for the Anderson family, they could only have one Perpetual Crystal Spaceship. If he could seize their spaceship, it would be tough for the Anderson family to reach Earth for the third ti.
Without the option of transiting the parallel universe, it would take them at least two and a half years to reach Earth. Lin Zhen would have ample ti to prepare.
However, the people from the Anderson family are very cautious. They take great care in protecting their Perpetual Crystal Spaceship. Once the assassin fails, the spaceship will automatically return ho.
When Lin Zhen asked Shasha about the location of the spaceship, she said it was stationed in space. The location was chosen randomly, but she ca from the Demon Moon Star in Taurus.
Lin Zhen has morized many wormhole locations, especially those close to Earth from his past life. He rembers them clearly.
Before the discovery of the wormhole on Mars, others who visited Earth indeed used the shortest route from the Demon Moon Star in Taurus, including the fleet of the Tianhe Empire.”
“A lightspeed spaceship coming from Taurus, covering a distance of nearly three light-years and transiting the parallel universe, factoring in the process of acceleration, deceleration, and data transmission, should take approximately ten hours to arrive.”
“However, it should take a little over six hours for my Black Pearl to travel from Earth to Mars, arrive at the Aurora star, transit the wormhole to reach Jade Star, and from Jade Star further transit another wormhole to the Demon Moon Star in Taurus, all within eight hours.”
“If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to intercept the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship as it erges from the parallel universe and appears outside the Demon Moon Star wormhole.”
“But capturing a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship is not an easy feat. I need to prepare well. If I fail the second ti, the Anderson family’s third visit could be disastrous for …”
“I can’t be careless the second ti. If a Constant Star Stage Asura Warrior cos, my current strength might not be enough to resist.”
“The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship will take at least seven to eight days to return to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The round trip should take about half a month, and it’s unlikely that they will dispatch soone imdiately. They will also need ti for investigation. So the next enemy should arrive in about twenty days. I still have twenty days to prepare…”
As for who hired the rcenaries this ti, Lin Zhen was absolutely clear about that. The only possibility was Diana. No one else on Earth possesses that capability and wealth.
“Chris, help look up how to capture a spaceship… A lightspeed spaceship,” he requested.
After Chris conducted a search, it inford Lin Zhen of the results.
“Master, it is quite difficult to capture a lightspeed spaceship while it is moving, Given that even when you fire a beam attack, the speed is only on par with the target spaceship, unless its speed is less than the speed of light.”
“Explain the specific thods.”
“The specific thod is to use another larger spaceship equipped with a large Trap Web, capture the target when it slows down, and then haul it into the large spaceship’s cabin.”
“Check the price of a Trap Web.”
Chris quickly produced a response: “The Trap Web available in the Tianhe Empire does not et the requirents. Based on the nature of the spaceship ntioned by the master, you will need to buy at least an alloy Trap Web from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The lowest price is one hundred million Sanjiang coins.”
Lin Zhen closed his eyes to calculate. One hundred million Sanjiang coins is equivalent to one hundred billion Tianhe coins. Such a Trap Web was way more expensive than Black Pearl. It was expected though; after all, the net that could capture a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship would not be cheap.
However, this price had exceeded Lin Zhen’s affordability. Currently, he only had a little over sixty billion Tianhe coins.
“I need money, a lot of it,” Lin Zhen mused silently. At this mont, Jason ca to his side and whispered, “Master, Diana has taken a lot of people to the Ancient God City. It seems like they are looking for sothing on the fourth level.”
“Understood. We will prepare. Today, I will break through to the Star Realm, and then we will head to the Ancient God City together.”
He was on the verge, he had to break through. He could no longer suppress the power from upgrading to the Dark Star .
The Dantian energy of Lin Zhen, which had been compressed ten tis, was already overflowing.
However, the location he chose was not Earth, but the moon.
On the side of the moon facing away from Earth, where no radar or scanner could detect, it was the safest area for Lin Zhen.
With a beat of his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen took to the skies. His wings now at twenty tis the speed of sound, accelerating nearly seven thousand ters per second. Combined with the speed of his avatar, he could travel over fifteen thousand ters in a single second!
The tens of thousands of kiloters from the moon to Earth were nothing to Lin Zhen. He could cross that distance in just two hours with a combination of flight and teleportation.
Jason trailed behind Lin Zhen, his Archangel wings flapping rapidly to keep pace.
Watching his master streak across the sky, one foot touching light and the other touching electricity, Jason was inwardly astonished.
An hour and fifty minutes later, Lin Zhen’s feet touched down on the lunar surface.
Arriving on the side of the moon facing away from Earth, Lin Zhen chose a circular mountain and sat on the mountaintop, facing the vast expanse of space, ready to break through.
He took a deep breath and visualized his Dantian energy, which had already begun to condense automatically.
“It’s ti. I’ve been reborn for over seven years, and finally, I can break through.”
“Only when my physical body enters the Star Realm will my strength truly skyrocket. Now that I have gathered all the elental energy and have control over ti and space, my power is truly different from my previous life.”
“Upon ascending to the Star Realm, my avatar would be able to participate in the Asura Arena battles… ”
Slowly closing his eyes, Lin Zhen began the most important breakthrough.
“Miss Diana, please provide all information about Lin Zhen.”
On the screen of Sky City’s control station, a stern middle-aged man was having a call with Diana.
“Mr. Anderson, the information is already sent to you. Everything I know about Lin Zhen is included there.”
“Can you guarantee the accuracy of your information? If you provide us with erroneous intelligence, which may lead to misjudgnt and fail to kill Lin Zhen, your commission would be forfeit should we incur losses.”
“Of course, I can guarantee it. On the surface, Lin Zhen seems to be on the brink of entering the Star Realm, but his actual strength is at the peak of the teor Stage, and he has a Constant Star guard. As for more, I’m not entirely sure, this all I know.”
“I see, Shasha from our Anderson family died this ti out on a mission, but we will continuously send assassins until we complete our mission. The second batch will reach Earth within twenty days.”
“I hope you can hurry up. I do not have much ti to wait.”
Diana terminated the call and quickly reconnected with Ya Xuan.
“Baron Ya Xuan, have you not found the World Stone yet?”
“Count, we haven’t found it yet. We have already killed all the monsters on the fourth floor of the Ancient God City, but it’s really hard to spot the World Stone. You can see the situation on the spot.”
With that, the view switched to inside the Ancient God City.
The fourth floor was a vast desert, with more than a dozen pyramids standing amidst the sands.
Originally, there were many mutated warcraft here, but they were all eliminated by the Tianhe Empire’s military.
“Based on our judgent, the World Stone may be inside one of these pyramids in the desert. We are going through each one systematically. You know that any one of these stones could be the World Stone; each pyramid is made up of at least tens of millions of stones. It would take at least a month to search stone by stone.”
“Try to work as fast as possible. I’m afraid that Lin Zhen will apply to beco the Lord of this star area. Once he becos the Lord, we must leave.”
“But Count, you could apply too. If you beco the Lord, couldn’t we drive Lin Zhen out?””
“I can’t do that. I already have a territory, and it’s difficult to apply again. Furthermore, since there is already a noble on this planet, the application is unlikely to get approved.”
“Then what should we do?” Ya Xuan was sowhat panicked.
“Don’t worry, just speed up the search. Although I can’t beco the Lord, I have sent a request to the Empire. Within twenty days, this planet should not have a Lord. As a Gold Level Four-Star Asura of the Asura Arena, the Empire will have to consider . Unless Lin Zhen attains the sa status, the Empire would stay neutral.”
“What about after twenty days? I estimate that I would need a month to explore all the pyramids here.”
Diana stood, “Within twenty days, Lin Zhen absolutely cannot beco an Asura, thus he won’t attain the status of Lord. As for after twenty days… he will live to see the day.”
