Age of Evolution

Chapter 463: 463: Sky Blue Peak, Evil Spirit Breakthrough Achieved! (Third Update)

There were corpses everywhere, blood flowing into a river, and bodies scattered all over the place.

Lin Zhen was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the corpse pile, his face flushed red as he resisted something.

Ni Ke didn’t dare to make a sound, watching from a distance.

An hour later, Lin Zhen finally opened his eyes.

After a wholehearted massacre, his negative emotions had finally vented out quite a bit.

Thanks to this group of bandits, or else Lin Zhen would have been in real danger.

Seeing Ni Ke, Lin Zhen showed a smile: “Ni Ke, there are five hundred Space Rings here from these people. There must be some good things inside them. I’ll give them all to you.”

The dwarf nodded, loving this kind of thing, and immediately began to collect the loot.

“You can sort it all out here, I’ll be back later.”

Lin Zhen stood up, holding the Yin-Yang Spear, and walked deep into the Animal Path, looking for the ghost dragon’s lair.

The dwarf stayed behind, collecting the belongings of the dead men.

Sorting out the stuff from five hundred people wasn’t easy. He took off the Space Rings, found a safe corner to hide in, and then began to check one by one.

This process consumed another seven or eight hours. When the dwarf had collected everything until he was dizzy, Lin Zhen returned.

“How did the sorting go?” Lin Zhen asked him with a smile, the red in his eyes almost gone.

“Although there are many rings, there is not much good stuff inside. The total value is less than one million Cosmic Crystals.”

“Don’t worry, this stuff doesn’t count towards the money I owe you.” Lin Zhen saw through the dwarf’s mind at once, afraid that he would use these rings to pay off the debt.

The dwarf gave a dry laugh, and suddenly became alert: “I hid better this time than last time; how did you find me as soon as you came back?”

Lin Zhen laughed: “With your round body, trying to camouflage as a stone is still round. I didn’t even have to search on purpose, just by looking at the shape I knew it was you.”

The dwarf’s hiding spot was at the mouth of an underground cave, perhaps related to their race’s preference for living in underground caves.

Lin Zhen came to the entrance of the cave, turned back and said: “Watch my back, I have something to study. When I figure it out, we’ll go back and take revenge.”

The dwarf nodded, continuing his sorting work while vigilantly observing his surroundings.

After entering the cave, Lin Zhen sat down and quietly went into the Foldable Space, taking out the golden book.

At this moment, there were three golden pages on the book, the third one was the one he had just found.

With these three golden pages, the first technique of Yama, the World King—Mental Shock was finally complete.

“I’ve finally got the World King’s ultimate skill. These three pages alone are worth a hundred million Cosmic Crystals!”

“Now, I am going to see what is unique about this Mental Shock.”

The golden pages emitted a faint golden light, and the handwriting was extremely clear.

If it wasn’t for the book outside, the writing on the golden paper would be blurred, so the golden book, relatively speaking, was more important than the three golden papers.

All sorts of aspects of Mental Shock, such as techniques, strengths, and other elements, were recorded in great detail.

Without this secret manual, it would be absolutely impossible to learn.

After a while, Lin Zhen finally understood.

“Now I see, the so-called Mental Shock is shooting out the resentment of those ghosts with spiritual power. Not only does it have the power of mental shock, but it also affects people’s minds.”

“No Martial Artist can have an entirely pure heart, there will always be many negative emotions. However, they can suppress these negative emotions with their own will and spiritual power.”

“Once Mental Shock hits, as long as my spiritual power can gain even a slight advantage, or if the opponent shows even a small flaw, they will immediately be affected by the strong negative emotions. Demons and ghosts will be born in their heart, and these ghosts will be revived in their Spiritual Consciousness Sea.”

“At that time, the revived ghosts will tear up the opponent’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea, killing them or turning them into idiots.”

“So Mental Shock is a hundred times stronger than the original one. As long as the opponent gives the slightest gap or has weaker spiritual power, they will be doomed to fail!”

After spending three hours studying and understanding Mental Shock, Lin Zhen was deeply impressed by the strength of the World King’s martial technique.

He didn’t expect Yama, the World King, to be able to come up with such an incredible method of mental shock.

To achieve this, he must have killed countless people. From the ghosts in the Santu River, one can see how many people Yama, the World King, had killed.

Moreover, this person needs to be crazy enough to think of using the power of ghosts to unleash the shock. This is not something an ordinary person can do.

Without Lin Zhen’s Innate Devouring and Black Hole Storm, if it were someone else who had gotten the golden book, they would not be able to pass the first step- absorbing the power of ghosts, it would be too difficult.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zhen obtaining this technique can only be described as fate.

At this time, Lin Zhen also noticed the growth of his spiritual power.

From the late Sky Blue stage to the Sky Blue peak, ninety percent, Lin Zhen’s strength slightly exceeded Xuanzhu’s by a bit.

“This time, I have turned misfortune into a blessing. If I hadn’t almost died at Xuanzhu’s hands, I wouldn’t have been able to unleash such a strong fighting spirit. No matter what, I must obtain the Mental Shock method. I haven’t felt this way for a long time. Maybe I’ve been living a little too comfortably.”

Lin Zhen quietly raised his head. Since his rebirth, almost everything on Earth had gone according to plan, and he had experienced smooth sailing. The immense potential accumulated during the early stage had given him the momentum to soar in the later stage.

Especially after getting Xiao Nuan’s bloodline, and with the experience of crossing the Black Hole, he had gained the genetic traits of the Black Hole Beast.

Being too smooth had made him slack off. The path to the peak wouldn’t be so simple, and he couldn’t afford to be the slightest bit relaxed.

Even though he had gained a great improvement in strength with the Mental Shock technique, he could see many shortcomings in himself.

“This Mental Shock is not invincible. The defensive artifacts of Holy Light power can effectively avoid this kind of attack. I can’t rely entirely on it. The most fundamental things are still fighting skills and realms.”

Lin Zhen began to yearn for Yama, the World King’s second method— Flash strike.

Flash strike is a manifestation of speed. With sub-light speed attack, it is almost an invincible method during close combat.

Compared to the Mental Shock, the value of Flash strike is undoubtedly higher.

“It’s almost time. Three days have passed, and I guess the Asura Path is coming to an end. I should give them a perfect ending.”

Lin Zhen finally finished his cultivation, stood up and left the Foldable Space, and left the cave.

“Let’s go, return to the Asura Path!”

Upon Lin Zhen’s call, Ni Ke the dwarf immediately followed along.

Deep inside the Asura Path, the sound of battle shook the sky.

Tens of thousands of martial artists attacked in waves, forcing the last Asura King and a group of Asuras into a corner.

These martial artists were dressed in three different colors, proving that they came from three different places.

They were from the Heavenly Tower, Dragon Totem, and Earth Core Jade Tower.

Everyone here had at least the Constant Star Stage realm, and more than a dozen Black Hole Stage masters led the charge, orderly and full of momentum.

At the forefront of the battle against the Asura King, three men performed exceptionally well.

All of them were in the late stages of the Black Hole Stage and were on the verge of breaking through to the Star System Stage.

One of them was Xuanzhu. At this time, he activated his Chaotic Heaven Scorpion bloodline and his huge double claws waved. His continuous attacks with the needle on his tail made the Asura King scream in pain.

Another one was Apollo, whom Lin Zhen had met before. He was from the Dragon Totem faction. At this moment, his body shone with two dragons, and as he wielded the Sun Gold Knife, the dragons roared. Sometimes a true dragon’s qi burst from his body. His gene was the Advanced Galaxy Beast Cloud Piercing Jiao!

There was also another person, his face pale and wearing a white robe, with large dark circles around his eyes, making him look somewhat unhealthy.

However, his attack method was the most fierce. Like a giant Kunpeng soaring, he was able to glide at low altitudes in the World Stone, where the force of the ban on flying was evident. Moreover, he could even continuously teleport during his flight, almost without pausing!

This was Tianci, who was currently recognized as the top young martial artist of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. His bloodline was the Kunpeng, known for its speed and command of the Space law. The Kunpeng was a king among Advanced Galaxy Beasts, and its combat strength was not inferior to some Super Star River Beasts.

Under the joint attack of the three, the embattled Asura King finally fell.

The most lethal blow was Tianci’s claw, which twisted off the Asura King’s head!

With the Asura King’s death, the battle here finally ended.

Inside the Asura King’s lair, Jin Haonan took out a black iron box and handed it to Xuanzhu, “Boss, I found this.”

Xuanzhu opened the box and a piece of golden paper shimmered inside.

Xuanzhu eagerly picked it up for a closer look, only to show a disappointed expression.

The writing on the golden paper was not very clear, and it was almost useless to look at.

Seeing Xuanzhu’s disappointed face, Tianci suddenly began snickering, “I told you this thing was useless. I got one in the Human Path, and I couldn’t make out anything. But you insisted on competing for it and promised us each 5 million Cosmic Crystals. Now, you can’t go back on your word.”

Xuanzhu snorted coldly, “When have I ever gone back on my word? I won’t skimp on the money.”

After giving the Cosmic Crystals to the two, Tianci showed no intention of staying any longer, “I’m leaving. My friends from the Dimensional Arena are looking for me to drink. Drinking in this Yellow Springs has a unique flavor!”

As he spoke, he led the people of the Earth Core Jade Tower away. Before leaving, he left a final remark, “Don’t forget our agreement. After the deal with the Underground Temple, you’ll have to be careful not to be killed by others on the way to deal with the Qing Luan Society. Otherwise, you’ll have no relationship with the Qing Luan Society’s business and fortune.”

Watching Tianci’s retreating figure, Apollo spat in disgust on the ground, “Hmph! He’s just relying on his father, who is in charge of the Fire Kirin Empire’s Dimensional Arena. A rich second-generation kid, and an illegitimate child at that. What’s so great about him? I just can’t stand people like him.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. He’s almost certain to enter the Star System Stage. I feel that his breakthrough is just around the corner. Let’s focus on our own business. At least this time, we got a piece of inheritance gold paper, which counts for something.”

As Xuanzhu spoke, he was about to put the golden paper into his Space Ring.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!
