Chapter 358: 358: Dark Star Changes, The Divine Gun Appears! (3 more updates)

If Chen Fenglie failed, there would truly be no one who could save Lin Zhen’s family.

The Heavenly Star List’s interference in worldly affairs was not unlimited. Since Chen Fenglie, representing Hua Xia’s Heavenly Star List, had intervened, others could not intervene, or they would certainly provoke a backlash from the Heavenly Star Lists of other countries.

Oh, you are all on the Heavenly Star List, and yet, you cannot even handle Yan Huang? That means you are just not skilled enough, and you can’t blame anyone else for that.

Moreover, Chen Fenglie’s performance in this battle was not due to his lack of skill, but because he had the Sword Domain. He had come to deal with Yan Huang, but unexpectedly, an attack from the sky disrupted his plans.

People watched the battlefield with fear and anxiety. If things continued like this, they would surely take a turn for the worse.

High up in the sky, on the edge of the moon, Xin Ou and Tu Ya were watching the battle, exchanging a smile.

They loved the feeling of controlling everything; helping the weak defeat the strong felt like such an incredible accomplishment.

As long as Yan Huang defeated Chen Fenglie, when they descended on Earth, he would definitely serve them wholeheartedly. By then, they might become the secret rulers of Earth, masterminding everything from behind the scenes.

When the Empire’s expeditionary force arrived, they could present them with a thriving, civilized planet. Just imagine the merits they would gain from that; perhaps they might even become nobility.

Xin Ou was excited and wanted to say something to Yan Huang, but suddenly, a huge meteor appeared in the distance.

The first thing they heard was the alarm on their spaceship.

“Attention, attention! An unidentified celestial object is rapidly approaching. Scanning initiated.”

“What’s going on?” Tu Ya hurriedly looked at Xin Ou.

Xin Ou glanced at the control panel; the radar indicated a massive celestial object approaching.

“It seems to be a meteor.”

“Damn it, how could we run into this? Dodge it and alter our course.”

The radar continued to send alerts: “Attention, attention! Celestial body scan complete. Unknown meteor, irregular shape, diameter seventy-five kilometers, medium-density matter at the seventh stage. Detected to be a fragment of an asteroid.”

Xin Ou quickly steered the spaceship to dodge, moving hundreds of kilometers away to avoid a collision.

If their small spacecraft were to be hit by a celestial object, there would be no place to bury them.

“Scan for life forms,” Tu Ya instructed.

“Is that necessary? What kind of life could exist on these wandering celestial objects in the universe? And the radar has already informed us that it’s an asteroid fragment. Would there be someone living on it?”

“Stop talking and just do it. It’s always better to err on the side of caution.”

“Fine, fine. You’re the captain, so I’ll listen to you. Even if someone is living on it, shouldn’t they know to hide when they see the meteor approaching Earth’s atmosphere?”

Despite grumbling, Xin Ou still followed Tu Ya’s request and directed the radar to scan for lifeforms.

“Attention, attention! Active lifeforms detected on the asteroid fragment. They are people of Earth, and their life signals…are strong!”

Tu Ya hadn’t held much hope initially, scanning the meteor just out of an adventurer’s instinct. But to their surprise, they really did find lifeforms.

“How is that possible? There are actually people from Earth on this asteroid?”

“Yes. What are they doing there? How did they happen to be living on the meteor?”

Tu Ya and Xin Ou stared at each other, dumbfounded, as they watched the massive meteor enter Earth’s atmosphere and start to burn. That person couldn’t still be on it, could they?

But all they could do was watch. At this moment, they couldn’t get close to the meteor. Not only was there a risk of it shattering, but the high temperatures were also not suitable for living beings.

As they watched, the meteor that had just entered the atmosphere suddenly cracked!

A large piece of the meteor broke off, splitting the meteor in half while in mid-air.

“This is… Xin Ou, do you feel like that corner was cut off by someone? The surface seems smooth, suggesting it was deliberate.”

“Indeed, I have the same feeling. It seems to be man-made.”

“Then we should be careful. If it’s done by someone, that someone must be Earth’s super expert, possibly one of their Heavenly Star List martial artists.”

Xin Ou nodded, but was not too concerned: “Even if they are on the Heavenly Star List, so what? As long as it doesn’t affect our plan, that’s fine. We are here to conquer this indigenous civilization. Even if they have some strong people, it won’t really matter.”

“I hope so. Let’s just hope it doesn’t affect the battle between Yan Huang and Chen Fenglie.”

Tu Ya watched the meteor fly towards Earth with a vague unease. The meteor’s trajectory seemed to be heading straight towards Hua Xia.

Lin Zhen sat on the meteor, having just absorbed a large portion of its fragments. His Dark Star Ring was now almost complete.

“That should do it. Thanks to my efforts over the past couple of days, my Dark Star Ring is finally complete. If this Dark Star could leave the space within my body and be placed in the sky, it would probably be quite a lively little asteroid.”

Lin Zhen looked at the Dark Star in his body. Not only had the Dark Star Ring become complete, but the Dark Star itself was also about to be successfully promoted.

The planets of the Dark Ancient Universe had basically completed their transformation. The magma planets were nearing a solid state and the crustal plates were about to take shape.

“That’s great! I’m about to enter the Ancient Universe stage. As long as I absorb one more large fragment, my Dark Star Space will become stable, and I will have the Star Power of the Meteor Stage.”

After entering the atmosphere, asteroid fragments began to burn vigorously due to friction with the air.

“I can’t wait any longer. I’m going to make one last cut. This is my moment of breakthrough.”

Lin Zhen flew to the front of the meteorite once again, with his Lightning Wings reaching five times the speed of sound. He quickly gained some distance from the meteorite.

With a thought, the space cutting appeared!

A hundred-meter-long space crack appeared directly in the central part of the meteorite. After this cut, the already severely reduced meteorite actually burst open with a bang!

Countless fragments of the meteorite scattered in all directions. Seeing this situation, Lin Zhen resolutely sent out a series of spatial cracks again, taking all the meteorite fragments that could be included into his Dark Star Space.

After a large number of meteorite fragments entered, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space finally began to change.

The magma balls finally came to a complete stop, and what was once nearly a liquid planet became solid.

The crustal plates transformed, continental shelves began to appear, and the uneven areas would become the mountains and oceans of the future.

Beams of Light Power began to condense in the air as another burning meteorite entered the Dark Star Space.

However, at this time, the Dark Star Ring was already complete, so this meteorite simply hovered in the air and gradually transformed into a fireball. Lin Zhen immediately drove the fire and Light Power within the Dark Star into the light sphere.

Boom!

A celestial body similar to the sun appeared above the Dark Star, emitting intense light and heat.

Of course, the material structure of this light sphere was not as comprehensive as the Dark Star’s. It was only a celestial body dependent on the Dark Star, responsible for transferring light to it.

Water Element filled the space above the Dark Star, and tiny puddles of water began to appear unnoticed in various places.

Although these puddles were still affected by the heat from the magma, bubbling like hot springs with temperatures too high for life to exist, they would eventually become oceans once the planet completely cooled down.

Wind Element appeared in the air, and the bubbles produced during the transformation of the magma and puddles gradually formed an atmosphere, with the embryonic form of an atmospheric layer already appearing.

“Ancient Universe, this is the Ancient Universe. It’s equivalent to the Meteor Stage in the Cultivation System.”

“I finally have the power of the Meteor Stage!”

Feeling the strong Star Power overflowing from the Dark Star, Lin Zhen’s strength rapidly increased.

At this moment, Lin Zhen knew that the realm was the source of all power. Whether his invincible power or being immovable like a mountain, without strong Star Power as support, they could not unleash their full potential.

The Dark Ancient Universe’s power could not compare with that of the Ancient Universe. At this moment, Lin Zhen felt that his strength had at least doubled. Not physical strength, but the fundamental strength of a Martial Artist – Star Power!

“If I had this power earlier, I wouldn’t have to struggle so hard to learn from a master. Relying on just this power alone, I could defeat people like Yan Huang.”

“I wonder how much my strength will increase once the Main Star of my Dantian Qi condenses a Star Core?”

Lin Zhen basked in the starlight, feeling better than ever before.

Reborn into this life, in just over four years, he had reached a height he had never reached in a thousand years in his previous life, which filled him with immense pleasure.

Still, he felt something was missing from his Dark Star Space, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Whoosh!

Continuous space cutting unfolded, and the increasingly small meteorite was gradually cut apart, turning into pieces that entered the Dark Star Space.

The largest of them hovered at the other side of the Dark Star and, under Lin Zhen’s control, became the shape of a moon, reflecting the sun’s light, creating day and night within the Dark Star Space.

The countless small meteorites, on the other hand, turned into stars scattered throughout the Dark Star Space.

After completing all of this, the Dark Star Space finally stabilized.

An immense purple energy began to appear between heaven and earth.

This purple energy connected the heaven and earth, as if condensed into a tangible form. Lin Zhen didn’t know what it was, but he felt it must be extremely important.

“Take!”

As the master of the Dark Star Space, Lin Zhen made the purple energy transform into a ball and fly directly into his Dantian Space.

Lin Zhen originally wanted to take this ball of purple energy in his hand, but at this moment, no matter how much he tried, he could only take a tiny part of the purple energy. The rest was beyond his control, possibly due to insufficient power.

As this purple energy appeared in Lin Zhen’s hand, he felt a strong golden aura and sharp energy in his hand, as if the purple energy had to change into something else before it could be controlled.

“A spear! I need a spear.”

Raging Light was destroyed, and Lin Zhen needed a weapon indeed.

The purple energy in his hand changed shape, and under Lin Zhen’s watchful gaze, it turned into a four-meter-long purple spear, heavy as a mountain!
