Age of Evolution

The new Emperor of the Fire Kirin Empire was named Tian Haoming, the grandson of Tian Haoyu.

Hearing the report from the guard, he was stunned for a moment but then waved his hand to let the guard leave.

After looking at the pass left from his grandfather for a while, Tian Haoming resolutely stood up and walked out.

After making a few turns, he arrived at a corner of the Imperial Palace.

There was a pond here, and a wooden bridge led to a small wooden house.

Upon reaching the wooden house, he gently knocked on the door and a voice came from inside: “Come in.”

Tian Haoming opened the door and entered the room, his gaze fell on a person in the corner and he slightly bowed: “Greetings, Senior Ke.”

The person was a young man who appeared to be in his twenties, wearing coarse clothes and preparing tea in the room.

Yet, the strong aura he exuded indicated that he was a Domain King at his peak, one of the strongest among them.

This person was Ke Xiangdong.

Ke Jianglong was sealed, Ke Xiangnan had entered the Original World, but Ke Xiangdong had not left.

Because he was worried!

Although Lin Zhen was sealed by his father, Ke Xiangdong knew that Lin Zhen had another body outside that had entered the Chaotic Star River.

He could not pursue him within the Chaotic Star River, but he was worried. After much investigation, Ke Xiangdong finally confirmed one thing – Lin Zhen had once received a quota to go to the Kylin Transformation Pool.

In Ke Xiangdong’s view, the only hope for Lin Zhen’s main body to escape is his other body.

And if his other body tried to save the main body, it would definitely go to the Kylin Transformation Pool and transform into a real Galaxy Beast, possessing the power of a Domain King, only then they would have a slight chance of escaping.

Ke Xiangdong was well aware of the principle that if a snake isn’t killed, it will come back to bite you. He even postponed his trip to the Original World, patiently cultivating in the New World, waiting for news about Lin Zhen.

After 200 years of waiting, he still felt uneasy, so he simply moved to the Fire Kirin Empire’s Imperial Palace.

After Tian Haoyu and some powerful World Kings left, no one in the entire Fire Kirin Empire was a match for Ke Xiangdong. He easily took control of the current Emperor Tian Haoming, turning him into his puppet.

He was waiting for the news of Lin Zhen’s other body.

So, when he saw Tian Haoming, whom he had not let to visit for hundreds of years, he knew that the news he had been waiting for had arrived.

“So? Has Lin Zhen’s other body arrived at the Kylin Transformation Pool?”

“Senior Ke is indeed wise and farsighted. Lin Zhen’s other body has indeed arrived and has already entered the Kylin Transformation Pool.”

Ke Xiangdong nodded slightly, he had calculated this matter countless times in his heart, and now everything was finally about to enter his plan.

“It seems that all my judgments are correct. The kid is indeed lucky. Not only is his main body still alive, but his consciousness is also clear. Otherwise, his other body wouldn’t be here. Thanks to my early preparation, or else he might have succeeded.”

“Senior, do you want to do something to Lin Zhen’s other body now?”

Ke Xiangdong shook his head slightly: “No, Lin Zhen’s escape methods are unpredictable. It’s impossible to catch him like this, but it’s enough to know that he has arrived at the Kylin Transformation Pool. The place to assassinate him is elsewhere.”

Ke Xiangdong stood up and slowly walked around the room.

“Lin Zhen’s main body has been sealed, but it’s not even certain if he’s still inside that space. We don’t know if the treasures of the Original World will wander within that space. We must locate his main body and catch them all at once. The best place is to let Lin Zhen’s other body find the main body.”

Tian Haoming thought for a while: “Senior, please be careful. I heard from my grandfather since I was a child that Lin Zhen’s strength is unfathomable. Although he is in the Black Hole Period, if anyone is blinded by his realm, they will definitely suffer a great loss.”

“I’m well aware of that. The kid has a Star Energy of over 100,000, absolutely cannot be treated as someone in the Black Hole Period. He is even comparable to a weaker Domain King, but that’s about it. Even if his Galaxy Beast has the strength of a powerful Domain King, I can make sure he won’t return.”

Hearing Ke Xiangdong’s words, Tian Haoming nodded: “I believe that everything is under Senior’s control.”

Ke Xiangdong smiled, then opened the Dimensional Universe communication.

“How many people are left at Heavenly Gate?”

A person at the other end replied: “Your Highness, all the people you arranged are here, a total of thirty Domain Kings and your enlightenment mentor, Ling Xu World King. These people didn’t go to the Original World and have been waiting for your order.”

“Great, my master is still there. Is he the only World King at the Heavenly Gate now?”

“Yes, all the World Kings have left the Heavenly Gate, and only Senior Ling Xu is the strongest here.”

“Then there’s no problem. Tell everyone to be prepared. Lin Zhen is likely to return to Heavenly Gate in a few days to rescue his main body. As soon as Lin Zhen’s other body appears, seize the opportunity and make sure to succeed in one strike and eradicate him!”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, everyone is waiting for this day. Thoroughly eliminate Lin Zhen’s other body, and his main body will be beyond salvation.”

Ke Xiangdong laughed and hung up the communication, then said to Tian Haoming: “Monitor Lin Zhen’s movements closely.”

“Please rest assured, Senior, there won’t be any errors.”

********

“Gurgling!!”

Bubbles were boiling on the surface of Lin Zhen’s body, seeming to gush out from his pores.

Streams of red liquid flowed out from the gaps in his scales, making the Kylin Transformation Pool look like a pool of blood.

This was a rebirth!

At this moment, his avatar had transformed into a gigantic Galaxy Beast Fire Kirin.

His physical strength was increasing exponentially, and the Kirin True Fire inside Lin Zhen had begun to awaken; he was about to take the most crucial step.

“Crackling!”

Bones were growing, and huge bone spurs protruded from his back, from the back of his neck all the way to the end of his tail.

Massive scales emerged on his body, their hardness a hundred times stronger than the hardest steel.

Long manes floated behind his head, and his enormous teeth shimmered with a cold light.

A somewhat uncontrollable breath grew in his chest, and his muscles began to swell. Lin Zhen raised his head, suddenly breaking out of the water, and let out a roar!

Flame smoke with the scent of sulfur spewed from his nostrils, and the deep blue flames had already begun to brighten!

The Galaxy Beast had advanced to the growth stage!

A Galaxy Beast entering the growth stage meant it had reached the Domain King realm.

At this time, Lin Zhen felt a restlessness deep in his soul.

It was another soul, one that once belonged to Lin Zhen’s close companion, Xiao Nuan’s soul!

The stimulation of the Fire Kirin bloodline was making Xiao Nuan’s soul show signs of awakening!

Normally, Lin Zhen would be happy to let Xiao Nuan wake up. After all, techniques like Star Energy Transfer were increasingly less applicable, and at least he couldn’t use it to break through the Heavenly Gate; it was better to give it back to Xiao Nuan.

But right now, Lin Zhen hoped that Xiao Nuan would wake up a little later, at least until he had finished his task.

With no more time to waste, Lin Zhen directly used Planetary Instantaneous Movement to leave!

After the Galaxy Beast’s promotion, Lin Zhen’s Star Energy soared to an incredible degree. He couldn’t even calculate how much Star Energy he had for a while, and he didn’t have the time to do so. He headed straight for the wormhole leading to the Fire Kirin Empire.

Traversing the wormhole and then rushing towards the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

Lin Zhen even hijacked a small Perpetual Crystal Spaceship along the way, entering parallel universe flight to proceed at the fastest speed.

If he didn’t hurry, he would soon be unable to suppress Xiao Nuan’s awakening!

*********

Before the Heavenly Gate, there was a special group, led by an old man.

This man was very famous in the Sorcerer Empire. He was the National Master of the Sorcerer Empire, known as Ling Xu World King.

He had not only taught the brothers Ke Xiangdong and Ke Xiangnan but had also taught their father, Ke Jianglong.

Perhaps he wasn’t the most powerful or talented World King, but he was undoubtedly the oldest.

As a Seventh-level World King, Ling Xu’s strength was insufficient to pass through the Heavenly Gate, but he was more than capable of crushing any Domain King. This was undeniable.

By Ling Xu’s side, there were thirty Domain King level experts, all of whom were members of the Sorcerer Empire’s Royal Guard. They had grown up with Ke Jianglong, and now all of them were Domain Kings.

The majority of the Sorcerer Empire’s experts had once been his disciples, all of whom had to address him as “Teacher.”

These Domain Kings were now by Ling Xu World King’s side, awaiting his command.

Ling Xu World King severed the communication from the Dimensional Universe and then said to the thirty Domain Kings around him, “Children, it’s finally time for us to take action. I believe you all remember why we stayed here, right?”

A Domain King said, “Teacher, we are very clear. We have been receiving the royal family and your grace for so many years, and we have become an inseparable part of the Sorcerer Empire. Although the Emperor has been sealed, and Prince Xiangnan has gone to the Original World, we will never forget how Lin Zhen humiliated our Sorcerer Empire’s royal family.”

“That’s correct. As far as I know, Xiangnan’s days in the Original World haven’t been easy, and Lin Zhen’s actions have made him the subject of constant ridicule. The Emperor was sealed because of him as well. If it were just that, it would be fine, but I’ve just received news from Prince Xiangdong that Lin Zhen’s avatar has now become a Domain King level Galaxy Beast and is heading this way!”

“What! This guy dares to come?”

“He’s not dead yet? Well, we’ll just let him die again!”

“Avenge the Emperor! Avenge the prince!”

Ling Xu World King nodded with satisfaction, “You’re all absolutely right. Our mission is very simple: when Lin Zhen’s avatar appears, we will completely destroy him and ensure that his main body never has a chance to escape.”

“Yes! The Heavenly Gate is about to close, and Lin Zhen won’t give up on rescuing his main body. He won’t escape, but he’ll just walk right into our trap.”

Ling Xu stood up, “If you all understand, then I don’t need to say anything more. Proceed according to our plan.”

Thirty Domain Kings stood by Ling Xu World King’s side, waiting for Lin Zhen’s arrival.

Ling Xu World King looked up at the wine-red Star Nebula in the sky and felt an inexplicable unease as the red hue darkened.

He didn’t know why, but the heavens seemed a little abnormal lately, giving him the feeling that a great catastrophe was about to happen.
