Chapter 428: 428: Advancement! Meteor Change!

Thus, for this breakthrough attempt, there was still a hurdle in Lin Zhen’s heart.

On the ring-shaped mountains of Mars, three months of arduous cultivation brought him to the edge of breakthrough.

His sky blue Spiritual Power swept across, and every movement within tens of thousands of meters around him could not escape Lin Zhen’s perception.

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was parked nearby, Zi Qianxia should also be nearby. The innate spatial talents of the Black Wing Clan made her very good at hiding.

With this late Black Hole stage expert on the verge of his breakthrough, Lin Zhen’s safety wasn’t an issue. He calmed his mind and began preparing for the breakthrough.

He had been preparing for this process for a long time, and it absolutely shouldn’t have any problems.

The Star Core in his body started to move slowly, swirling within the Dantian, and the Star Power boiled.

One cycle, two cycles!

After dozens of cycles, the Star Core gradually formed a trajectory.

A bright light slowly emerged behind the Star Core.

In this process, the Star Core was also gradually growing and becoming stronger, treading on the path to evolve into the Meteor Stage.

As long as Lin Zhen could smoothly pass through this process, he would have entered the Meteor Stage.

However, at the crucial moment of breakthrough, Zi Qianxia’s alarmed cry suddenly came.

“Lin Zhen, it’s not good! There’s an asteroid cluster attracted by Mars’ gravity, and it’s heading towards us!”

Lin Zhen didn’t respond but was somewhat nervous.

The reason he chose Mars for cultivation was due to its safety, far from Earth where nobody would disturb him. However, he didn’t expect to encounter an asteroid cluster.

Judging by Zi Qianxia’s tone, there should be quite a number of asteroids.

His main body was in the crucial moment of breakthrough, and if he left rashly, the breakthrough would fail, and he might not be able to break through again for decades. Lin Zhen couldn’t take this risk.

Although his main body didn’t move, his secondary body had already issued orders through the Dimensional Universe.

Among the nine major planets of the Solar System, Lin Zhen had placed Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons in each. Now was the time for them to be put to use.

“Qianxia, get ready for close-range interception. I’ll have the Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons fire to intercept these asteroid clusters.”

“Understood. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect you.”

Zi Qianxia appeared in the air, with black wings emerging from her body. She held a dazzling sword, preparing to block any asteroids approaching Lin Zhen.

The Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons orbiting Mars were also nearby. They were placed by Lin Zhen in case of emergencies, and now they were indeed coming in handy.

In the void, like small planets, the Fortress Satellites moved at high speed, with countless dark muzzle rotations aiming towards the approaching asteroid clusters.

About five minutes later, a dense asteroid cluster entered Mars’s gravitational field.

“Fortress Satellite, intercept! Don’t let large chunks of asteroids enter the atmosphere!”

Lin Zhen’s secondary body issued the command, and the Fortress Satellites opened fire!

Boom, boom, boom~~!!!

The huge gunfire started, immediately stirring up sheets of flames in the asteroid clusters!

In cosmic space, these asteroids were not small in size, with the larger ones having a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers!

There were thousands of these dark asteroids. The Fortress Satellites showcased their might during this time, blasting the large asteroids into pieces.

However, despite this, they could not completely destroy all of these asteroids clusters. Large chunks turned into smaller ones, and smaller ones still fell. One large asteroid could be broken down into hundreds of smaller fragments, making it impossible to completely shatter them.

“Orbital cannons, fire!”

Lin Zhen issued the command, and the orbital cannons, which had already moved to the outer atmosphere, started firing.

Swift flames shot out rapidly, shattering the asteroid chunks one by one. With the small asteroid fragments entering the atmosphere, there was basically no threat to the ground, as they would burn out in the air.

After the Fortress Satellites and orbital cannons’ repeated bombardment, the threat of this asteroid cluster had significantly decreased.

If Lin Zhen wasn’t trying to break through, these threats wouldn’t be threats at all. The problem was that he couldn’t move.

Many asteroids still entered Mars’ atmosphere, turning into massive blazing fireballs heading straight for Lin Zhen.

“Qianxia, it’s up to you!”

“I’ll do my best, but there are a lot of asteroids.”

Zi Qianxia, holding a long sword, rose into the air!

Her black wings flapped, and her slender figure turned into a stream of light, directly facing a giant asteroid with a diameter of about a kilometer!

“Ha!”

Her sweet voice cried out, and a dazzling light shot out, shattering the giant asteroid with a single sword strike!

Zi Qianxia was also pushed back several thousand meters by the celestial force, but she immediately flapped her wings and continued to attack the next asteroid.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!!”

Sword qi streaked through the sky, and Zi Qianxia shattered the meteorites that were still quite large. As long as the meteorites weren’t too big, they usually wouldn’t reach the ground.

However, Zi Qianxia was in quite a sorry state, pitting human strength against the meteors falling from the sky—a task not suited for people.

Even though she destroyed the meteors, the fragments of the meteorites were difficult to guard against. To protect Lin Zhen, she had to fight off these meteors, expending great effort to fend off the attacks from all sides.

After all, those giant meteorites with a diameter of more than a kilometer or even several kilometers were still burning fiercely. The fact that she had been able to withstand them was already impressive.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen’s real body still had his eyes closed, as his breakthrough had reached a critical moment.

But at this time, his attention was somewhat drawn to the meteors flying in the sky.

“These meteors have such a strong force. Zi Qianxia has reached the late Black Hole Stage but is still pushed back by the meteor’s impact.”

Moreover, those meteorite fragments are causing her distress. I have a feeling that it’s like she’s fighting against someone, with the meteors being the opponent’s attack.”

A strong strike, dispersed fragments representing scattered energy. If I imagined this strike as a spear technique… ”

“That’s right… ”

Lin Zhen’s mind pictured an imaginary opponent for Zi Qianxia, feeling like she was battling an expert in spear techniques, unleashing attacks like meteor falls, and causing Zi Qianxia to be in a difficult position.

He released the sky-blue spiritual power, using his mental power to reach the high altitude where he captured everything about the meteors.

“Spear technique! My spear technique is currently at Sea Treading’s sixth level, which is falling behind the situation. But I don’t have the secret manual for the seventh level, so I need a powerful spear technique.”

His desire for strength made Lin Zhen forget the danger, even though he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Zi Qianxia was struggling to defend against the meteors, which came in waves. Moreover, she needed to protect Lin Zhen, so she couldn’t easily dodge them.

“Lin Zhen! Hurry up; if this keeps up, I won’t be able to hold on much longer.”

Lin Zhen had forgotten everything, with each falling meteor seeming like a different spear technique.

“Meteor falling, unstoppable, swift, fast!”

“If I turn it into a spear technique, I need to engrave the trajectory of every meteor in my mind—the more, the better; the more complex, the better!”

Wave after wave of meteors fell, and Zi Qianxia had been forced to retreat to a place just a kilometer above Lin Zhen.

“Are you ready yet?”

Lin Zhen still didn’t answer, but he was on the verge of success!

The light sword in Zi Qianxia’s hand was somewhat dim, and her strength alone could not withstand this wave of meteors—even at her level in the Black Hole Period.

Looking back at Lin Zhen, who was still motionless on the ground, Zi Qianxia clenched her teeth.

During this time, Lin Zhen had been very good to her, almost never letting her do anything, and he had never shown any condescending attitude in his words. It had seemed as if the two of them were good friends.

Zi Qianxia was happy to have met such a master as Lin Zhen, which made her look forward to the future. After her breakthrough, perhaps she could truly be free and then return to her hometown for revenge.

In these days, she had been on the verge of a breakthrough, and as long as she was willing, she could enter the late Black Hole Stage at any time.

However, she was still hesitating, unsure whether to breakthrough immediately and return to her hometown since her ability was not strong enough to avenge her.

But she didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and now she couldn’t even make a breakthrough in time.

“It’s so unfair. Lin Zhen simply can’t die. If he dies, I’ll die too. But if I insist on protecting him, I’ll be injured, and I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to break through the Black Hole Stage again.”

But Zi Qianxia no longer had a choice. During her defense, a giant meteorite with a diameter of a hundred meters was plummeting straight towards Lin Zhen!

“Not good!”

Without any hesitation, Zi Qianxia fiercely cast a teleportation spell, appearing in front of Lin Zhen at once.

At this distance, even if she shattered the meteorite, she herself would be injured by the flying fragments, yet she couldn’t avoid it.

“It’s over! Lin Zhen, you owe me a life!”

Zi Qianxia closed her eyes, preparing to break the meteorite at the cost of being injured.

Just as her black wings spread out to protect Lin Zhen, he suddenly moved!

With a teleportation, Lin Zhen was already before her, and the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand drew black and white rays of light, aiming directly at the meteorite!

“Lin Zhen, are you crazy?”

Caught off guard, she couldn’t stop Lin Zhen in time. All she saw was his spear trembling, piercing straight into the meteorite!

At that moment, Zi Qianxia felt as if she was experiencing a slight illusion, as she saw two meteors crashing into each other!

With a thunderous crash~~~!!!

Lin Zhen actually shattered the meteorite!

Zi Qianxia didn’t expect Lin Zhen’s strength to be this powerful, but she still shouted: “Quickly dodge! You’ll be injured by the fragments!”

Lin Zhen still didn’t dodge. His spear trembled, and countless earth elements transformed into huge rocks, which clashed fiercely against both the burning flames and the meteorite fragments in a furious confrontation!

As many meteor fragments as there were, there were just as many elemental fireballs!

It was like a sky filled with fireworks blooming before their eyes. As Zi Qianxia watched Lin Zhen’s heroic figure, she couldn’t help but open her mouth wide in disbelief.

“Heaven! How is this possible? His spear technique… is Meteor!”
