Age of Evolution

Chapter 302: 302: The Three Holy Objects

Under the combined onslaught of Allen and Banahak, his spiritual power finally advanced, reaching the Diamond Middle Stage.

Xiao Nuan’s Innate Devouring also manifested in his spiritual power. As such, Lin Zhen was essentially not afraid of any mental shock from people whose spiritual power did not exceed his own.

Those whose spiritual power does not surpass his, won’t impact him at all. Mental shocks would not disturb him nor interrupt his teleportation. Instead, it would become nourishment for the advancement of his spiritual power.

However, it is not capable of being absorbed and devoured instantly – it also requires a digestion process.

Lin Zhen naturally couldn’t digest the mental shocks launched by these people in an instant. He wrapped these several spiritual power with his own, and the combined forces resulted in an unprecedented giant mental shock.

The mental shockwave this time definitely went beyond the Diamond Middle

Stage. Lin Zhen felt that it even had the offensive strength of the Diamond Peak, hence why this group of people on the other side was instantaneously killed by him.

But the effect of the instant kill was absolutely shocking. More than a hundred Star Realm Experts fell, including a Star Realm Expert – Banahak.

Banahak had just taken a mental shock from Lin Zhen during the neutron competition and felt a splitting headache, hence, he failed to avoid this shockwave and was killed on the spot.

Only nine people survived, among which were Allen, Adams, and other seven Star Realm Experts.

Though most people were stunned by Lin Zhen’s incredible strike, Allen was not shocked.

He had witnessed Lin Zhen advancing to the Diamond Middle Stage and knew that his spiritual power could devour others’ mental shocks, hence, he had some idea about the terrifying effect of this strike.

Therefore, after Lin Zhen released a huge strike, he still chose to continue the attack.

“Adams! Let’s go! This kid actually possesses the spiritual power of a Diamond Middle Stage. Those who do not have Dark Gold Stage spiritual power and a top-quality mental defense star artifact should not come; coming would only mean death!”

Among the Star Realm Experts, approximately two-fifths are Spiritual Mind Masters. The number is quite large. Among the nine Star Realm Experts here, apart from Allen and Adams, there are also two Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Masters.

Four Star Realm Experts flew towards Lin Zhen at an astonishing speed.

Lin Zhen did not want to tangle with these individuals. In fact, if we do not account for his potent spiritual power, Lin Zhen’s fundamental strength hasn’t improved at all. He wouldn’t fare well tangling with the people on the Star List, especially now that the gate of the Ancient God City has already opened – he needed to leave.

He laughed at the Four Star Realm Experts: “There’s no need to chase so eagerly. The Ancient God City is vast; we’ll have plenty of time to play later.” Teleportation!

Four mental shocks were generated, but none managed to stop Lin Zhen’s teleportation. With a few flickers of his body, he had already entered the internal region of the Ancient God City.

Allen slowed his steps, knowing that chasing Lin Zhen wasn’t feasible. To pursue Lin Zhen, they would need a lot of people, all of whom could withstand mental shocks.

The phone rang, and it was Yan Huang calling. Allen immediately informed Yan Huang about Lin Zhen’s situation.

The happenings of today had completely obliterated the reputation of the Gods Clan. If they didn’t take care of Lin Zhen, the Gods Clan would lose all face worldwide.

Yan Huang immediately issued an order to gather all Spiritual Mind Masters above the Dark Gold Stage from within the Gods Clan. Everyone had to wear a top-quality mental defense star artifact and assembled in the Ancient God City.

Upon the direct command of the Holy Pope, many capable of pursuing Lin Zhen gathered from all over the world.

Out of the thirty elders in the Gods Clan, there are twelve Spiritual Mind Masters in total. Now with the death of Banahak, eleven were left.

Among these eleven elders, six of them are on the Meteor Star List, which includes Allen, Adams, and Gongsun Du.

However, Yan Huang did not involve Gongsun Du in this manhunt, leaving the remaining ten elders all ready.

Afterwards, Yan Huang brought in forty almost- Star Realm Experts, forming five action teams. Each team carried one Star list expert as the leader, paired with one Star Realm expert, and eight Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Masters as the team members.

Before the five teams set out, Yan Huang passionately said: “Today marks the day of humiliation for our Gods Clan. The blasphemer Lin Zhen has killed many of our brothers and sisters, causing a significant blow to the worldwide reputation of the Gods Clan. Our loyal believers are saddened, and the normal believers have started to question the capability of our church. It also became a laughing stock for many bystanders.”

“Therefore, killing Lin Zhen is now our Gods Clan’s top priority. We all understand Lin Zhen’s strength very well. Now that you’re all equipped with mental defense star artifacts, Lin Zhen’s mental shocks shouldn’t intimidate you. Your task is to ensure that Lin Zhen is killed within the Ancient God City. This pertains to the glory of our Gods Clan, the worthiness to become a believer of the True God of the Stars. The world is watching you. Have you not the confidence to execute this?”

“We do!”

All fifty Spiritual Mind Masters answered in unison, passionately hating Lin Zhen to the bone.

“Off you go. Strive to block Lin Zhen on the second layer of the Ancient God City.”

Allen and the other ten experts embarked on their journey. Yan Huang yet again promised in front of the worldwide public that he absolutely would not forgive the blasphemer Lin Zhen.

Although the reaction in the world was still intense, it had weakened considerably compared to the establishment of the Gods Clan. After days of discussion, the question of who was right or wrong between the Gods Clan and Lin Zhen was put in front of all the people around the world.

For those who believed in deities, Lin Zhen was utterly wrong; but what about those who didn’t? From their perspective, was Lin Zhen wrong?

Now, discussing right or wrong has lost its meaning, as things have reached this point. A life and death struggle between Lin Zhen and the Gods Clan is inevitable, and it remains to be seen whether the Gods Clan’s pursuit team could kill Lin Zhen inside the Ancient God City.

The Divine Might Church in Constantinople was solemn and respectful. In the main hall, it was as deep as the night sky, and the sound of footsteps on the dark marble floor echoed crisply.

Yan Huang paced back and forth, sighing from time to time, his mood very heavy.

“Your Majesty, I don’t think you need to worry too much. Lin Zhen can’t possibly fight against our Gods Clan.”

At his side, the former Pope of Constantinople’s church and the Great Divine Sect, Laricus, comforted him.

“Teacher, do you think our pursuit team can capture Lin Zhen?” Yan Huang asked his teacher, who had retired ever since he became the Holy Son and succeeded the Great Divine Sect. His teacher did not rank among the Gods Clan elders, but was always by his side.

Laricus pondered for a moment: “If we estimate based on strength, Lin Zhen is not an opponent for any Star List expert, but Lin Zhen’s method of hiding in the extradimensional space is too unconventional. Moreover, his current spiritual power has advanced to the Diamond Middle Stage, and there are too few people who can disrupt his teleportation. Our team’s chances of killing or capturing him are slim, almost impossible.”

After thinking for a moment, Laricus continued: “To truly defeat Lin Zhen, we must have a Spiritual Mind Master of the Diamond Middle Stage. In our Gods Clan, only you, me, and Gongsun Du have this ability. Your Majesty, why not let Gongsun Du go?”

Yan Huang shook his head: “Gongsun Du cannot go. He has not yet agreed to my arrangement with Su Mingyue and insists on respecting Su Mingyue’s own choice. In that case, I fear Su Mingyue may never get married to me. Until he shows absolute loyalty, I cannot use him.”

“If that’s the case, I will go personally,” Laricus said.

“As a Dark Star List expert, if it were you, it would be easy to capture Lin Zhen.” Yan Huang was overjoyed.

With quite a bit of confidence as well, Laricus nodded, “However, I will need Your Majesty to give me one of the three holy artifacts of the Gods Clan, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t succeed.” “Which one do you want?”

“I want the Breaking Boundary Nail.”

Apart from the Glorious Set, the Church has three other Holy Artifacts, which form the foundation of the Gods Clan.

These three items are the Star Sky Crown, Breaking Boundary Nail, and the God Concealment Cloak.

The Star Sky Crown is a small diadem with seven gems embedded in it. It can continuously provide the user with Star Power. As long as the user’s body is not shattered into pieces, severed limbs can regenerate, and Star Power will never exhaust, making it a divine weapon in battle, and a top-quality auxiliary Holy Artifact; essentially a priceless treasure.

The more advanced a Holy Artifact, the harder it is to truly master. Even Yan

Huang hasn’t completely grasped the power of the Star Sky Crown even now.

The Breaking Boundary Nail, however, is a Middle Grade Holy Artifact imbued with Spatial Power. This isn’t even considered a weapon, but an auxiliary type Middle Grade Holy Artifact.

This nail can lock onto a person’s aura, even if you hide in another dimension, it can still strike accurately.

Furthermore, this nail has a miraculous effect, being able to seal a Martial Artist’s Dantian’s air. Once a Martial Artist is struck by this nail, unless it is removed, they can’t mobilize their Dantian’s air and will become like a lamb to the slaughter.

The God Concealment Cloak can completely make the wearer invisible, and is a Middle Grade Auxiliary Holy Artifact.

Yan Huang nodded: “What you said makes sense. Without the Breaking Boundary Nail, it will likely be difficult to truly capture Lin Zhen. In that case, I’ll give you this nail.”

He took a Holy Artifact from his Space Ring.

Three inches long and thinner than a pinky finger, it emitted a dim light. Yan Huang handed this Holy Artifact to Laricus.

“Your Majesty, what if we can’t find Lin Zhen?”

Yan Huang sneered: “Of course I won’t stupidly wait here, I have my own way to deal with Gongsun Du. Once Gongsun Du is taken care of, Su Mingyue will certainly fall into my hands. In just over ninety days, it will be my wedding day, and I have already announced it to the world. Don’t you think that even if you guys can’t find Lin Zhen, he will return before that day?”

“He might, he and Su Mingyue seem to be very close.”

“That’s the point. I will use this period of time to completely master the Star Sky Crown. As long as this Holy Artifact serves me, Lin Zhen will be worth nothing in front of me, not even a shrimp. My goal is to ascend to the Heavenly

Star List!”

Laricus was delighted: “So that’s it, Your Majesty really is ingenious! In this way, even if Lin Zhen hides in the Ancient God City for the time being, and by chance escapes from our pursuit, he will still be caught in the end.”

“Yes, but I estimate he won’t have a chance to come out and cause me trouble. Teacher, you are a Dark Star List expert, and you have the Breaking Boundary

Nail in your hand, Lin Zhen absolutely cannot escape.”

“Your Majesty can rest assured, Lin Zhen absolutely won’t have a chance to come out!”
