Age of Evolution

Chapter 615: Chapter 616: Moving Forward

The entrance and exit of the first level are diagonally opposed, with a straight-line distance of about ten thousand kilometers.

At this moment, Lin Zhen’s Star Power burst out, resisting the powerful world gravity, racing in a straight line, his speed accelerating to a hundred times the speed of sound!

A hundred times the speed of sound is thirty-four kilometers per second!

Without strong Star Power, it would be impossible to resist the here’s formidable gravity and reach such high speeds. After Lin Zhen had run for a hundred seconds, he had covered over three thousand kilometers, by which time he had caught up with a group of people ranked ahead of him.

Lin Zhen was intentionally targeted, those with him were all prearranged to snipe at him. Those ahead of him were the real unlucky ones, striving to run while seeing someone catching up from behind.

Some Martial Artists even tried to snipe Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen’s speed was too fast. Like a shell, booming, a dust cloud flashes before the eyes, and then disappearing at the edge of sight.

These Martial Artists, who only have tens of thousands of Star Power, simply cannot stop Lin Zhen’s progress, and can’t even delay him.

After surpassing this group of people, Lin Zhen’s ranking had already reached just over nine hundred thousand, and it was still rising.

The prairie is the best place to sprint, unobstructed. This is the best time for Lin Zhen to speed up.

The only concern is whether the Galaxy Beast that appears in levels one to three exists in this level.

However, it is obvious that there is no Galaxy Beast on the first level.

Lin Zhen quickly passed through the first level, leaped through the light gate at the entrance, and appeared in the second level.

The second level is not so easy to sprint through, because this level is a forest.

Lin Zhen glanced at the rankings. He is currently ranked just over nine hundred and sixty thousand. The leader, named Mu Huaiyu, had already reached the fifth level.

“I don’t know if there is a Galaxy Beast in this level, I’ll rush forward first.”

Lin Zhen started running but soon stopped. Running in the forest was very strenuous, with trees obstructing everywhere, and he couldn’t build up speed.

“I have powerful Star Power, and I don’t have to go around the trees like most people. I can just barrel through!”

Lin Zhen raised his hand, the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand, aimed at the forest in front, and a Thunder Kill burst out!

The Light Thunder power turned into an energy beam, launched with Lin Zhen’s more than seven hundred thousand Star Power, like a powerful laser, directly creating a straight path hundreds of miles long in the woods!

Accelerating his steps, Lin Zhen sprinted along the passage!

Countless tree afterimages sped past, all one could see was a blur of colors.

When he was about to reach the end, Lin Zhen launched another Thunder Kill, and another swath of trees was cleared to make a path. Before the trees could fall, Lin Zhen had already swept through like a streak of light!

The rankings were like a skyrocketing water meter, steadily climbing, and soon entered the top nine hundred thousand!

Because it wasn’t just Lin Zhen himself surpassing groups of people, there were also other Martial Artists fighting on the road, and people were continuously being eliminated, so his ranking rose so quickly.

“Speed up, aim to enter the top eight hundred and fifty thousand in this layer!”

***********

“What? Lin Zhen’s ranking has reached eight hundred and eighty thousand?”

In the Wood King Mansion, Mu En looked at Lin Zhen’s rapidly rising ranking, his teeth itching with hatred.

“The people you arranged are all useless, all of them were wiped out by Lin Zhen, Mu En, I want to remind you in advance, the Crown Prince must take first place this time.”

Inside the mansion, the Wood King, Mu Jing Shan, in his brocade robe, said while holding his wine cup.

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, Lin Zhen is currently only on the second level, ranked in the high eighties. He absolutely doesn’t pose a threat to the Crown Prince. I just didn’t expect him to act so decisively and take out three thousand people just so he wasn’t delayed.”

“Hmph! That’s your negligence. You thought you’d arranged some weak Star System Stage members to delay him, didn’t expect that he wouldn’t play your game. But being able to wipe out three thousand people in a single move, this Lin Zhen definitely is a major threat. Figure out a way, absolutely can’t let him get to the front.”

“Your Majesty, rest assured, after passing the second layer, in the third layer is a Galaxy Beast. When Lin Zhen reaches there, the majority of people should have passed through already. He will be facing the Galaxy Beast alone, trying to get to the fourth layer will be incredibly difficult.”

“That’s good, in any case I don’t want to see any accidents happen, the first place guest must be the Crown Prince! This time I violated the rule to let the Crown Prince participate, it took a lot of manpower and resources, if he can’t get first place, this plan will be ruined.”

**********

When Lin Zhen had run more than halfway through the forest, he found that other Martial Artists had appeared on the path he’d created, running ahead of him.

Lin Zhen’s face turned cold, and without any hesitation, he swung his spear, and the second Thunder Kill continued to blast forward!

Wherever the light passed, a large group of Martial Artists were instantly vaporized, and Lin Zhen’s path remained unobstructed.

Some of the Martial Artists who escaped were cursing, but Lin Zhen was unmoved. Even if this was the real world, anyone who blocked his path would be eliminated without hesitation.

When the second level came to an end, Lin Zhen’s ranking had reached eight hundred and thirty thousand.

“Continue on, the third level!”

Lin Zhen passed through the light gate again and entered the third level, the terrain of which was a swamp.

The speed of the Martial Artists finally slowed down here due to the many dangers in the swamp.

Huge pythons were rolling in the mud, and although these pythons are not Galaxy Beasts, they are equivalent to peak-level monstrous beasts of the Star System Stage, posing a great threat to the advancing Martial Artists.

“Without a doubt, the Galaxy Beast of levels one to three must be in this level, I need to be careful.”

The sponginess of the mud was unimaginable. As soon as the foot falls onto it, a strong pulling force would drag the Martial Artists into the mud pit, let alone the big pythons that came after the smell.

The Martial Artists crossed this quagmire as if they were using magical powers, some with large boards strapped to their feet, some leaping like monkeys, some moving forward with the aid of two long poles.

Lin Zhen stood at the edge of the quagmire and with a raise of his hand, he let out a cold blast!

Despite his ice powers not being as strong as firepower, he had mastered the art of ice power. As the cold air shot out, a frosty path ten miles long was instantly formed on the mud above!

With the Yin-Yang Spear as a pole, he forcefully jammed it forward and his body glided out with a “whoosh” sound!

The frost was not particularly sturdy, and parts of it were constantly being destroyed by giant Pythons.

Lin Zhen, however, looked like a courageous surfer, repeatedly charging forward amidst the rumbling and breaking frost.

One hand supported the spear, while the other was constantly brewing a ball of cold air, ready to shoot out a blast of cold air when there was no path ahead or when danger was imminent.

“Hiss~!”

A giant Python broke through the ice layer with its wide bloody mouth open.

Lin Zhen smashed a ball of cold air towards it, instantly freezing this monster that stretched for tens of meters into an ice lollipop. Then, he started skating over its back, taking it as a roller coaster ride, his speed surpassing anyone else’s!

Watching his acrobatic pace, the Martial Artists who were progressing at snail’s pace opened their mouths wide in shock. They had never expected such a way to cross the quagmire.

He left each and every Martial Artist behind, his rank shot up from the eight hundred and thirty thousandths to within the six hundred thousandths when he was halfway through.

“If this continues, I might be able to make it into the top five hundred thousand in this level.”

Just as Lin Zhen was pondering, a cluster of black air rose in front of him.

A group of Martial Artists was struggling ahead when suddenly, a large swarm of bubbles emerged from the marsh and a gigantic Python, hundreds of meters long, appeared suddenly!

With its mouth wide open, a tremendous suction force like that of a whale swallowing water instantly devoured the surrounding Martial Artists!

It was a World King level Galaxy Beast!

Lin Zhen smashed his hand on the ground, producing a robust chunk of ice that instantly froze a layer ten meters thick. The surrounding snakes couldn’t destroy it, and he stood atop the ice, observing keenly.

Even though a World King level Galaxy Beast blocked the path, it couldn’t stop the oncoming Martial Artists from their continuous charge.

This Python was killing in all possible ways, devouring, trampling, spraying venom, martial artists were falling one batch after another.

However, the Martial Artists weren’t just sitting ducks; they made sure to not group together, circumventing the Python from all sides. Although the Python was rapidly pouncing left and right, some Managed artists still managed to escape.

After observing for a minute, Lin Zhen immediately took decisive action. He sped ahead in a different direction as the Python was pouncing on several other Martial Artists.

Unexpectedly, the Python abandoned other Martial artists and pounced towards Lin Zhen.

In its eyes, Lin Zhen was a fellow with thriving Star Power, a delicious tonic if eaten.

Lin Zhen frowned, blasting ice in front of him to pave a long road, advancing at high speed.

However, the Python opened its large mouth and was only ten or so meters away from Lin Zhen, breaking the ice to chase.

Pieces of broken ice were swirling around Lin Zhen, and he could even smell the foul breath from the Python’s mouth.

“No, I can’t shake it off this way.”

With a change of heart, Lin Zhen tossed the Yin-Yang Spear on the ground, shook his body, and transformed into a Beast!

The massive Black Kylin appeared, Lin Zhen had advanced to Star System Level 5, he was now one step closer towards complete Kirin Transformation. At this point, it was getting hard to identify any human traits, he looked quite like a Kirin.

Upon assuming the form of a Galaxy Beast, Lin Zhen turned around and immediately launched Black Hole Storm against the Python!

The Python’s suction power was no match for the Black Hole Storm, but being a World King level creature, it managed to struggle, resisting the pulling force of the Black Hole.

This Python’s Star Power was definitely above one million forty-two thousand and perhaps even much more.

It managed to resist the Black Hole Storm’s power and moved forward, advancing towards Lin Zhen’s Black Hole Beast with difficulty, saliva dripping from its mouth. If it could devour such a huge Kirin, it would certainly gain strength.

Although resisting the Black Hole Storm wasn’t easy for it, its body’s muscles were trembling, and getting closer was quite difficult.

Even when a daring Martial Artist manage to swoop by and slash the Python with a knife, the Python didn’t respond. It couldn’t care less about anyone else.

The two giant Galaxy Beasts were in a standoff, and in the end, the Python was stronger, quickly getting closer to Lin Zhen.

The green eyes were shimmering with a brutal light, it was about to bite down!

Just when it was about to capture Lin Zhen, the Black Hole Beast retreated suddenly!

The Python instantly pursued aggressively, covering a distance of several hundred meters in an instant!

Lin Zhen was sliding on the ice layer under his feet while the Python was chasing. The ice layer was less than a kilometer in this segment.

When Lin Zhen retreated to the end of the ice layer, the passing Martial Artists knew that the Kylin was doomed.

However, just as the Python’s mouth was about to clamp onto Lin Zhen, its body suddenly became limp and fell down.

The huge snake head heavily smashed onto the ice layer, causing the solid ice to crack.

Then, from underneath the Python’s belly, a river of fresh blood flowed out, covering the ice layer.

A World King level Galaxy Beast just died like this!
