Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Ring

Translator: 549690339

This flying vehicle had been seen by Lin Zhen before, and although the reserve of energy blocks inside was not much, it could still support millions of kilometers of flight.

His plan was to lure Yan Huang far into space, and then fly back with the spacecraft.

With a plan in mind, Lin Zhen and Yan Huang began their long space journey.

The two had a speed of about 100,000 kilometers per day and headed towards Mars after leaving Earth.

By the third day of their flight, Yan Huang thought Lin Zhen was clinging on stubbornly.

At that time, he was still talking sarcastically: “Lin Zhen, I’m actually quite impressed by your courage and perseverance. You’ve been able to persist for three days. I think your injuries are about to act up, right?”

By the fifth day of their flight, Yan Huang realized that Lin Zhen’s injuries didn’t seem to be as severe as he thought.

When they reached the seventh day, Yan Huang found that Lin Zhen seemed to be as persistent as he was.

At this time, he started to feel afraid because when he looked back, Earth seemed to be getting smaller in the distance.

What was once a huge blue planet now seemed quite far away. The distance he estimated himself to be from Earth at this moment was almost a million kilometers.

Yan Huang hesitated, wondering if he should really spend two years chasing Lin Zhen all the way to Mars.

Thoughts affected actions, and Yan Huang’s actions slowed down a little.

Lin Zhen, who was flying ahead, noticed this situation, calculated the distance, and decided it was time to return.

He took Shu Mingxuan’s small house-like spacecraft out from his Space Ring, opened the door, and went in.

Lin Zhen had seen this kind of spacecraft many times in his previous life, and his operation was extremely proficient.

“A small cabin, the lowest grade interstellar spacecraft in the Tianhe Empire, with a maximum flight speed of 10,000 meters per second. The built-in energy block reserve can support up to 5 million kilometers of flight at full capacity. Currently, the energy level is about a quarter of the maximum, enough for 1.25 million kilometers of flight.”

“After leaving Earth for seven days, I’ve flown about a million kilometers. Using this spacecraft, I’ll be home in just over a day.”

“As for Yan Huang, he can continue to wander in the interstellar for seven more days. I won’t accompany him.”

Lin Zhen lay on the bed in the small house, looking at Yan Huang in the distance through the window, as the spacecraft made an arc and flew past him.

Yan Huang, who was wondering whether to continue chasing Lin Zhen, was stunned. He looked at the strange little house and Lin Zhen’s sarcastic smile behind the window.

“Oh no!”

Yan Huang couldn’t believe his eyes, his hands in his hair, staring dumbfounded at Lin Zhen soaring past in the distance.

“How do you have a flying vehicle? How do you have this kind of flying vehicle? If you have this kind of flying vehicle, why did you fly with me in cosmic space for seven days?”

Lin Zhen laughed to himself, thinking that if he didn’t fly with Yan Huang for seven days, how could he have time to heal and make preparations to deal with him?

But Lin Zhen didn’t want to waste any more time talking to Yan Huang. He wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible to heal his injuries. Then, he’d head to the last of the Five Connected Pools, Ruyi Lake, and find the last meteorite.

So he accelerated the spacecraft and quickly sped away.

Just as he was about to leave Yan Huang behind, a dark spot drifted over from the depths of the universe.

Lin Zhen suddenly looked back and knew that something was wrong.

It turned out to be a group of meteorites!

“I can’t believe my bad luck! To actually run into a meteorite group!”

Using a flying vehicle in a meteorite group would mean certain death. Lin Zhen hurriedly came out of the little house.

As soon as he came out, a large group of meteorites whizzed by, and Lin Zhen’s figure was engulfed in these celestial fragments.

Yan Huang was farther away and saw this situation. He was so scared that his legs went weak, and without any hesitation, he turned around and sped towards Earth.

“Lin Zhen, I told you to be cocky. You and those meteorites can become dust in the universe together. I’m going back to Earth.”

“Now that I have great power, this is my capital. When I return to Earth, I will have my revenge on those who betrayed me and those who disobeyed me!”

Yan Huang no longer thought about Lin Zhen’s situation. In his view, Lin Zhen, who had been swallowed by the meteorite group, was destined to die.

The meteorite group was faster than Yan Huang, and they flew farther and farther in cosmic space. Yan Huang didn’t even dare to look back, longing to be farther away from those terrifying celestial bodies.

********

Lin Zhen entered the meteorite group, surrounded by celestial bodies the size of small mountains, moving at several times the speed of sound.

Lin Zhen flapped his Lightning Wings and dodged several celestial bodies in a row.

“I don’t know where these meteorites came from, but I should stay and observe.”

Lin Zhen flapped his Lightning Wings and approached a huge meteorite celestial body that was flying by his side.

This meteorite had a diameter of more than 20 kilometers, which made it a big guy. As Lin Zhen landed on it, he immediately felt an intense Star Power.

“This must have been a shattered small asteroid. The Star Power on it has not yet completely disappeared.”

Lin Zhen looked down, and the direction of these meteorites seemed to be Earth.

“Meteorites falling on Earth have to go through the atmospheric layer’s burning, with large ones becoming small, and small ones evaporating directly. Ordinary meteorites cannot pose a significant threat to Earth.”

“However, these meteorites are different. The largest volume of these meteorites is even over one hundred kilometers, which would definitely bring harm if they reached Earth. I need to find a way to prevent them from falling onto Earth.”

He soon discovered that the speed of these meteorites was slightly slower than his flying speed, but not by much. It would probably take about ten days to reach Earth.

He took a glance at the depths of the meteorite swarm; there were many of them.

Lin Zhen could now choose to leave the meteorite swarm, but he did not. Since he had discovered them, he should prevent the catastrophe from happening.

However, Lin Zhen could not stop them now. His injuries were not minor and required time to heal.

Anyway, the meteorites kept moving forward and no one disturbed him, so Lin Zhen simply sat down on this large meteorite and began to recover from his injuries.

The healing process lasted for two days. When his external injuries were almost healed, he had time to study the meteorites in detail.

He grabbed the surface of a meteorite and quickly figured out the structure of the asteroid.

“Soil and ice are the main components of this asteroid, with its outer crust and rocky layer shattered, and the Star Core divided into several large chunks.”

“With my own strength, it is almost impossible to break these meteorites. The only way to prevent them from falling on Earth is.”

“Space Cutting!”

Space Cutting isn’t a collision with meteorites but a method that uses spatial cracks to break the meteorites themselves, making this the only solution.

However, it is not easy to cut the debris of a shattered asteroid – it would be a huge challenge for Lin Zhen.

“Fortunately, I have never stopped researching Space Power. The Dark Star in my body creates its own space, connecting the cutting force from the Dark Star Space, which should be able to cut a considerable amount of meteorites.”

Having made up his mind, Lin Zhen flew to the front of the meteorite swarm with the help of his Lightning Wings.

After almost ten days of cosmic space travel, Lin Zhen’s Lightning Wings had reached a speed of five times the speed of sound, far faster than the advancing speed of the meteorites.

The first target for him was a small meteorite. He wanted to test if Space Cutting was a feasible method.

Arriving in front of the meteorite, he thought, and a three-meter-long space crack appeared.

“Puff!”

The meteorite before the space rift was like tofu, being cut directly in half.

It wasn’t just in half. The shattered meteorite had split into many pieces, forming a pile of debris, with one piece even hitting Lin Zhen, catching him off guard.

Moreover, in the place where the spatial crack appeared, a pile of debris entered Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space directly.

After entering the Dark Star Space, these debris were immediately attracted by the power of the Dark Star, and began to revolve around it.’

“This is… The Dark Star’s power orbit!”

If the Dark Star was compared to Earth, these meteorites’ positions would be around Earth’s equator.’

Witnessing this scene, Lin Zhen immediately associated it with Jupiter’s Ring.’

Jupiter’s Ring is formed when some shattered celestial bodies are drawn by Jupiter’s gravity, creating a beautiful ring around Jupiter.’

Celestial bodies, or pieces of stars, contain Star Power.’

If Earth and Jupiter were the same size, Earth’s Star Power would not be as strong as Jupiter’s due to the presence of Jupiter’s Ring.’

Seeing the meteorites starting to circle the Dark Star, and the Star Power contained within them reflecting off the Dark Star, Lin Zhen was overjoyed.’

“I was worried that my strength wasn’t enough, but isn’t this meteorite swarm a perfect opportunity? I must seize it well.”

Lin Zhen had an idea, and began to deliberately cause spatial cracks.’

Smaller celestial bodies were directly swallowed by his spatial cracks and entered the Dark Star Space, revolving around the Dark Star in its equator.’

Larger celestial bodies still needed to be cut, and Lin Zhen patiently repeated the cutting process.’

As time went on, Lin Zhen became increasingly proficient at using the Space Cutting technique, and he was able to release larger and larger space cracks.’

At first, he could only release a three-meter-long spatial crack, but after a day, he could release a twenty-meter-long crack!’

Smaller debris was taken directly into his Dark Star Space, while larger pieces were shattered before being released.’

When encountering a massive meteorite, Lin Zhen’s spatial crack was like a fruit knife, cutting it into pieces in a loop, and dismembering it to enter the Dark Star Space.’

More and more meteorites orbited the Dark Star, gradually forming the prototype of the Dark Star Ring, making the Dark Star more powerful.’

As the Star Power-contained meteorites nourished the Dark Star, the situation on and inside the Dark Star gradually changed.’

The originally magma-covering planet from the Dark Ancient Era began to cool, the volcanic eruptions gradually diminished, and the prototypical surface started to form. The rampant thunder and lightning in the air subsided, and the thick rain clouds were no longer so dense.’

This was the evolution from the Dark Ancient Era to the ancient era, and Lin Zhen’s Dark Star was about to level up!’
