Chapter 322: Dark Star Condensation
The decapitation team set off. After satellite positioning, it was found that Wanren Di was located to the west of Ice City. All firepower was concentrated to cover the decapitation team.
The limited rocket launchers in stock launched repeated bombardments, clearing an area in the west into a vacuum zone. The decapitation team advanced quickly and disappeared from people's sight.
The people could no longer be seen, but soon a mushroom cloud rose from the distance. It was a covert person who blew himself up.
The Star Ranking masters told the people of Base City not to worry, everything was going according to plan.
But the subsequent broadcast was not pleasant. A hedgehog mutant beast, with spikes all over its body, shot out like spears. After a burst of intensive long-range attacks, half of the members of the decapitation team fell in a pool of blood.
The sudden change destroyed the hopes of the beheading team. The last master on the Star List didn't even get to see Ten Thousand Enemies before he fell under the claws of a group of quasi-SS-level mutant leopards.
The defeat of the beheading squad almost completely cut off the hope of the people of Ice City. Morale plummeted and people began to give up on themselves.
Even such an elite team has been destroyed. The remaining tens of millions of people in Ice City probably have no chance of breaking out.
Maybe the city will be captured tomorrow.
******** The Demon Dragon Mountain is located in the center of the third floor. Through a tunnel, you can reach the fourth floor.
But the tunnel is the dragon's lair, and the earth dragon is entrenched here, blocking people's progress.
In the surrounding area, because of the existence of the Earth Dragon, no other magical beasts dared to approach.
Inside the tunnel, the huge roar had been going on for several hours.
A huge roar of a beast was heard, and then gradually calmed down.
Lin Zhen sat there slumped, not wanting to move a finger. This battle was too difficult.
Eight Star Ranking masters joined forces to fight against the Earth Dragon, but three of them died on the spot.
Fortunately, they finally won. At the last moment, Lin Zhen's space cutting directly cut open the brain of the Earth Dragon and obtained the earth element crystals in it.
There were nine holy artifacts in the Earth Dragon's lair, including a top-grade holy artifact. The remaining few people divided the loot on the spot.
However, Lin Zhen did not get anything this time, because he had already taken away the quasi-SSS-level earth element crystal, which was the best trophy.
After everyone had divided their things, Lin Zhen finally looked at the huge corpse of the Earth Dragon and asked for it.
Of course, Lin Zhen would not take it for free. He paid an additional 3 billion Chinese yuan to each person present.
Originally, there were people who also wanted the body, but Lin Zhen did not participate in the distribution of the holy artifacts, so they felt embarrassed to argue with Lin Zhen and agreed to leave the body to Lin Zhen.
The corpse of the Earth Dragon is extremely valuable. If it were taken outside, it could be sold for 20 billion. However, the reason for buying it is to give it to Xiao Nuan as food.
Release Xiao Nuan and devour the Earth Dragon.
After devouring this big guy, Xiao Nuan seemed to have reached an evolutionary bottleneck and immediately fell asleep in the black ghost.
After getting the earth element crystal, Lin Zhen immediately said goodbye to the other people.
Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun both knew that Lin Zhen was anxious to leave and did not try to keep him. The two returned to the Ice Palace, while Lin Zhen left the City of Ancient Gods directly.
After leaving the city, the air outside gave Lin Zhen a boost.
"All my hard work during this period has finally paid off. I have obtained a quasi-SSS-level earth element crystal. I can finally condense my dark star."
Lin Zhen took out his cell phone and checked the situation in Ice City.
But when he saw it, he was shocked. In order to avoid being distracted by other things, he didn't pay much attention to the Internet during this period. But how come the situation in Ice City became like this in just two days?
"The decapitation team's operation failed. What is the way out for the people of Ice City?"
"Good news, good news. Commander-in-Chief Shen Lixing announced that he has received a promise from the Great God of Allen. As long as the people of Ice City believe in the Star God Religion again and swear never to betray, the God Religion is willing to send troops to help Ice City resolve the crisis."
"The eldest daughter of the An Group, An Ning, issued a statement, vowing to live and die together with Ice City, and will never join the Starry Sky Cult again."
"The Ice City is in chaos due to internal and external troubles."
After reading one article after another, Lin Zhen had a general understanding of the situation in Ice City.
There is now a commander-in-chief named Shen Lixing directing the battle in Bingcheng. It was this man who planned the decapitation operation, but it ended in failure.
After the failure, Shen Lixing somehow contacted the Great Priest Allen of the former Sophia Church. Allen promised him that as long as the people of Ice City rejoined the Church, the Church would be willing to send troops to help Ice City escape the siege.
However, this matter was opposed by warriors from An Ning and many other base cities such as the Northwest, Demon City, and Capital. Many of those who opposed it were people Lin Zhen knew.
There are mutant beasts attacking the Ice City outside, and there is civil unrest inside. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the city is breached.
From these messages, Lin Zhen also analyzed some things.
Alan was originally chasing me in the City of Ancient Gods, but he went in the wrong direction. When I went to the North Pole, he went to the South Pole, but there was no news of him afterwards. It turned out that he had left long ago.
Alan was the one who decided and agreed to this matter, which also shows that the Divine Cult now has basically no one in charge, and Yan Huang might be practicing in seclusion.
I checked the news about my parents again. They are currently being held in the Cathedral of the Divine Power in Constantinople and are not in danger of life for the time being.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Zhen decided to rescue Bingcheng from its predicament first, but before that, he had to make a breakthrough first.
Only by condensing the dark star can Lin Zhen have a chance to save Ice City from its predicament, otherwise it would be in vain.
He did not post the news of his return online, but just sent a message to An Ning: "I'm back, hang in there."
After sending the message, An Ning quickly replied to Lin Zhen: "I'll wait for you."
Lin Zhen called Su Mingyue again, but the call didn't go through, so he had to give up.
Wearing a metal mask, Lin Zhen controlled his aura to the level of a fifth-level war god, making it impossible for outsiders to tell who he was. He boarded a small aircraft and left the City of Ancient Gods.
Flying all the way to Zhaodong County, Lin Zhen’s aircraft landed on the top of Zhaodong Building.
It was already the middle of winter. More than four years had passed since Lin Zhen's rebirth, and this was the fifth year.
When we landed at Zhaodong Building, it had almost become a deserted city.
All the mutant beasts went to participate in the siege of Ice City, and these former wilderness areas became uninhabited areas.
There were still gusts of wind and snow all around, but after experiencing the extreme cold of Antarctica in the City of Ancient Gods, Lin Zhen was almost immune to this level of low temperatures.
Lin Zhen came to the place where he had made a breakthrough in the past and sat down.
He knew that he was facing a very critical moment.
In addition to the affairs of Ice City, the Holy See is also a major concern for Lin Zhen. Once Yan Huang comes out of seclusion, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Now there are only four days left until the day when Yan Huang announces his wedding.
Yue'er's whereabouts are still unknown, and her parents are trapped in Constantinople waiting for him to rescue them.
All of this must be backed by his strength, and condensing the core of the Dark Star is his most critical step.
He had never experienced this step in his previous life. Even though he had heard of some people who possessed the Dark Star by chance, he had never heard of anyone being able to turn the Dark Star into a physical entity.
“Maybe I’m making history.”
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, put all distracting thoughts behind him, and began to meditate on the spot.
Regulate your breathing, practice, and absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth from the outside world.
An hour later, he felt that his condition had reached its optimal level and stopped practicing.
Lin Zhen took out two earth element crystals from the space ring.
One is from a quasi-SS-level monster, and the other is from a quasi-SSS-level monster.
"In fact, the most ideal one would be SS-grade, but unfortunately I didn't find one. One of these two is a little bit bigger, and the other is a little bit smaller. I don't know what the final effect will be. I'd better try absorbing the smaller one first."
Taking out the quasi-SS-level one, Lin Zhen placed it in front of his dantian and lower abdomen.
The Dantian Qi began to circulate, and the power within the crystal entered Lin Zhen’s Dantian.
As soon as the power of the earth element entered, the dark star in Lin Zhen's body began to spin wildly! The other elemental powers in this dark star had been condensed for many days, water, fire, wind, thunder, gold, and all kinds of energy were surging, but there was a lack of earth element, which always lacked a foundation for existence.
Now, seeing the earth element, it was like a long-awaited rain, and the entire dark star came alive at this moment! "Hiss! What a fast absorption speed!"
Lin Zhen looked inward with his mental power and saw that the dark star was spinning faster and faster. The wisps of earth elements passed through the two spaces and quickly entered the dark star.
This is not quite the same as the condensation of Dantian Qi. The Dark Star is running in another space, relying on the Dantian Qi but going its own way.
The dark star began to have a foundation at this moment. After the earth element entered, it quickly gathered inside the dark star and formed the outer shell of the planet.
"As far as I know, the foundation of a planet's existence is soil, but the interior of a planet is also divided into several layers."
"From the outside to the inside, there are the crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core."
"This quasi-SS-level crystal alone may not be enough to condense these layers. I just don't know to what extent it can be condensed?"
Ten minutes! Under Lin Zhen's gaze, after ten minutes, the earth element was completely absorbed, and the core of the dark star had only condensed to form a circle of outer shell, and the second layer of rock had not yet condensed.
"Sure enough, this earth element is not enough. Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."
Lin Zhen placed the quasi-SSS-level crystal in front of his dantian again.
I saw the crystal decomposing rapidly and rushing into the dark star quickly.
The dark star, which was about to stop functioning, regained new vitality and vigor, and grew rapidly almost visible to Lin Zhen's naked eyes! Another twenty minutes passed, and the rock layer condensed successfully, continuing to condense the third layer of asthenosphere!
The second chapter will be updated today, and there will be additional chapters for rewards later.
