Age of Evolution

Chapter 712: Chapter 715: Meteor Falling from the Ninth Heaven! (6 more updates)

Inside One-line Sky, it seemed as if a nuclear bomb had exploded, causing such intense shaking that those watching felt unsteady.

After Lin Zhen unleashed the Destructive God Thunder, he slowly withdrew his hand. He knew that this move hadn’t killed Qin Jianfeng.

Because Qin Jianfeng was still ranked first, and he was still second.

But Qin Jianfeng was also not faring well. Through the smoke, Lin Zhen saw him.

At this moment, Qin Jianfeng looked worse than a beggar, completely embedded in a mountain stone. His entire body was covered in tattered clothing, charred black from head to toe, and there was a huge hole in his abdomen, created by the Destructive God Thunder.

The God Thunder managed to break through his body, but he didn’t die. The blood flowing out of his abdomen was golden!

When everyone saw this blood, shimmering with specks of starlight like flowing gold, they were stunned!

Imperial Clan!

So, Qin Jianfeng was from the Imperial Clan, it was no wonder his strength was so formidable!

People were unwilling to venture into the Endless Star Sea because it was inhabited by members of the Imperial Clan.

According to legends, Imperial Clan martial artists were an even more ancient and distant race than the Human Clan. Their origins can be traced back to the very birth of life.

Members of the Imperial Clan were born with exceptional aptitude, talent, and constitution surpassing that of the Human Clan. They were once the strongest race in the Original World.

Each Imperial Clan member was born with a unique talent in martial arts, incredibly powerful, truly blessed by heaven, and far superior to other races.

That’s why they were called Imperial Clan, meaning they were born emperors.

However, the Imperial Clan had a significant drawback: low fertility rates and scarce numbers. When the Imperial Clan ruled the earth, the Human Clan and other intelligent races waged war against them.

Facing the endless tide of warriors from the Original World, the Imperial Clan was eventually defeated. After losing a large part of their forces, the surviving Imperial Clan members were driven off the earth and retreated to the Endless Star Sea.

Although they had left the surface, the unchanging space of the stars became their world.

Over countless years, many nations on the Original World’s surface slowly encroached upon the celestial expanses, incorporating swathes of stars under their control. However, the Endless Star Sea was simply too vast.

Members of the Imperial Clan had always lived in the Endless Star Sea, and any martial artist from other races discovered by them would usually meet a terrible fate.

If there were a ranking of reasons why other races were unwilling to venture into the Endless Star Sea, the presence of Imperial Clan martial artists would definitely be at the top of the list.

Even now, there are many legends and records about the Imperial Clan. Every Imperial Clan martial artist represents an incredible tale; though they were considered mutual enemies by Original World inhabitants, there were actually many people who admired and worshipped them as fans.

Some fanatically worshiped the Imperial Clan martial artists, even yearning for a bit of Imperial blood because they saw it as a symbol of nobility.

But most people still opposed the Imperial Clan, as they were unwilling to be subjugated.

Despite their seemingly normal appearance, members of the Imperial Clan could be distinguished by their golden blood.

Imperial clansmen were skilled at disguising themselves, eventually mastering a method to make their blood appear red. However, if they were severely injured, their blood would turn gold again!

Now, Qin Jianfeng had been severely injured by Lin Zhen’s attack, consequently revealing his true identity as his body bled golden blood.

In this moment, the entire Original World was in an uproar.

“So Qin Jianfeng is from the Imperial Clan. No wonder this guy has been extraordinary since birth.”

“I’m a native of Qin Kingdom too, I can’t believe I’ve been living under Imperial Clan rule for so many years. Terrifying!”

“The Imperial Clan are all devils who don’t see other races as human. Lin Zhen, kill him!”

“We’re done for! Even Lin Zhen’s incredibly strong attack failed to eliminate Qin Jianfeng. The first place in the Divine Punishment Star will be taken by the Imperial Clan this time! If an Imperial clansman gets the Super Divine Body and advances to Longevity Realm, will anyone be able to compete with him?”

“Qin Jianfeng is Imperial, so Qin Wushang must be too! We need to hunt Qin Wushang down immediately!”

The identities of the two Imperial Clan martial artists hidden in the human world were exposed, all because of Lin Zhen’s Destructive God Thunder.

Lin Zhen looked at the injured Qin Jianfeng, knowing that he was about to go berserk.

Sure enough, from within the smoke and dust, Qin Jianfeng opened his eyes filled with hatred, glaring intently at Lin Zhen.

“Lin Zhen! You really are something to have injured me to this extent. It’s a pity, though, my Spirit Sword Body talent saved me; otherwise, your thunder might have killed me.”

His wounds were rapidly healing, and Qin Jianfeng stood up.

“Since my secret’s out, there’s nothing more to say. Lin Zhen, goodbye!”

Buzz~!

The sword Qin Jianfeng had been holding had vanished, replaced by two-meter long Sword Gangs erupting from his hands!

The Sword Gang hummed and continued to grow, soon reaching three meters…five meters…!

When the Sword Gang reached ten meters in length, Qin Jianfeng roared and swung his arms, instantly destroying everything around him!

The long Sword Gangs were like crosscutting knives, turning One-line Sky into a giant tofu block. The knives swung wildly, leaving a dense array of spatial rifts in their wake!

Based on the power of Lin Zhen’s Taiyuan, each strike from Qin Jianfeng’s Sword Gang was equivalent to a Taiyuan!

Moreover, his speed was fast and his swings were furious, like a giant net casting over Lin Zhen, leaving him no room to evade.

At this point, Lin Zhen was reaching his limit. Constant injuries had sapped his strength, and he had no more power to fight against the current Qin Jianfeng.

“My Black Hole Devouring couldn’t swallow Qin Jianfeng, and Destructive God Thunder can only be used once. I can’t use it again without full confidence. I need to dodge temporarily.”

Facing the opponent’s fierce attack, Lin Zhen used Satellite Fall.

The Satellite Fall appeared, only to be shredded by the crisscrossing Sword Qi. However, it gave Lin Zhen a brief moment of time, allowing him to be driven by his spiritual power and stepping on a lotus flower, he ascended into the air!

Even if Qin Jianfeng possessed the talented Spirit Sword Body, Lin Zhen could still move freely within the high altitude of the Divine Punishment Star!

Hair-raising Sword Qi flew past him, and lotus flowers blossomed and fell. Lin Zhen barely avoided Qin Jianfeng’s attacks and finally ascended to the sky successfully!

At this time, a reminder was heard inside the Divine Punishment Star again.

“There are three minutes left until the end of the Divine Punishment Star. Countdown…179, 178, 177…!”

Qin Jianfeng laughed loudly as he watched Lin Zhen leave: “Lin Zhen, run! I’m not afraid of you running. When the battle ends in three minutes, I will still be the first, and you can only be second. Among the top ten, second place is the most tragic, right?”

“The first place will always belong to the Imperial Clan!”

Qin Jianfeng raised his hand high, with sword light flashing. The wounds on his body had healed a lot, and although his clothes barely covered him, his imposing aura was enough to shock the heroes!

Previously, people like Boston still didn’t accept Qin Jianfeng being the first. But when they saw him now, they no longer harbored intentions to challenge his title.

The Imperial Clan is truly blessed, and others are far from being their match!

*********

Lin Zhen climbed all the way back to the peak of the One-line Sky.

His mindset was different this time.

Lin Zhen didn’t care whether he was from the Imperial Clan or not. However, Qin Jianfeng’s current strength surpassed him, and that made Lin Zhen somewhat unhappy.

Sitting down on the mountaintop, Lin Zhen pondered a question in his mind.

If he wanted to defeat Qin Jianfeng now, there were still ways. Lin Zhen could make a breakthrough on the spot and directly enter the World King Realm.

Once he reached the World King level, Lin Zhen would no longer fear Qin Jianfeng. He believed he could achieve first place.

However, Lin Zhen was reluctant. His breakthrough to the World King level hadn’t reached the point of perfect timing yet. Once he broke through, there would be no turning back, making it difficult for Lin Zhen, who had always made extreme breakthroughs, to decide.

World King, Super Divine Body, which one should he choose?

Just as he was struggling, he suddenly felt an inexplicable tingling sensation on his scalp.

“Above… there seems to be some pressure coming down?”

With doubt in his heart, Lin Zhen raised his head.

Ning Qingxuan’s Star Power was pushed to its limit, both of her delicate jade hands pushing against the asteroid.

She was attempting to use her own strength to push the asteroid off its orbit and crash it into the barrier set up by the Deity outside the Divine Punishment Star.

As the sweat trickled down from her forehead, her tender figure was tightly wrapped by her wet clothes.

Under her extreme exertion of Star Power, the asteroid was gradually deviated from its trajectory by Ning Qingxuan’s force.

“It moved! As long as it moves, everything will be fine.”

Star Power surged out of her Dantian like water, and the asteroid’s speed slowly increased.

Gradually, under Ning Qingxuan’s relentless efforts, the asteroid turned into a massive meteor, flying towards the Divine Punishment Star!

“The mass of this asteroid is not small. If it can hit the weakest spot, maybe it can break the barrier. Just a small gap, just a little bit is enough!”

As the asteroid flew closer to the Divine Punishment Star, the distance began to shrink.

However, at this moment, the deadly bell sound rang again!

“Ah…my head!”

Ning Qingxuan screamed, holding her head with both hands, almost immediately collapsing onto the asteroid.

The third Soul Chasing Bell did not remain silent, as she had hoped, and rang without a second’s delay after the twenty-minute mark.

“Master…no! I don’t want to go back! I can’t go back at this critical juncture!”

Her head felt as if it was being scooped out alive, the unbearable pain making this world’s stunning beauty’s muscles convulse. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, her lips bitten through.

Without Ning Qingxuan’s push, the asteroid’s speed gradually slowed down, about to lose its momentum.

“No! I won’t! I don’t want to!”

Ning Qingxuan yelled loudly, stretching out her hands with tremendous willpower and pushing against the asteroid once again.

“Lin Zhen is in danger, and his clone is still sealed by the silver needle. I have to save him! Lin Zhen! You must succeed; you must reach the peak!”

Her beautiful eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, her black hair fluttering wildly in the air. Ning Qingxuan, enduring the most intense pain one could imagine, pushed the asteroid again, increasing its speed! Faster! Faster!

Finally, the asteroid turned into a meteor, breaking into the isolated atmosphere of the Divine Punishment Star at an incredible speed, emitting dazzling light and heat as it descended from the heavens!
