Chapter 492: 492: Ranked First

The three martial artists watched until the end, coming back to their senses only after Lin Zhen killed the last black hole stage locust warrior.

“Oh my god!”

“I can’t believe my eyes.”

“Is this guy really a Constant Star Level 3? Has he hidden his true power and is actually at the Star System Stage? Otherwise, how could he be so extraordinary?”

Unconsciously, Lin Zhen’s image had elevated to the level of the Star System Stage in their minds.

After defeating the locust warriors, Lin Zhen stood there motionless for a while.

Because he felt an intense desire to devour from his avatar!

Just like a starving man on the verge of death seeing a table full of delicacies, it’s virtually impossible to resist the urge to eat.

This feeling originated from his Galaxy Beast, Xiao Nuan!

In the past, Xiao Nuan couldn’t resist eating, especially foods rich in energy.

These locust warriors are of Constant Star stage, even one at the Black Hole stage, their inner bodies are nutritionally rich, definitely holding potent energy.

At first, Lin Zhen thought that Xiao Nuan was awakening, but after careful inspection, he found no signs of Xiao Nuan regaining consciousness. It was purely his instinctive reaction.

“Could it be… that my Galaxy Beast genes are finally beginning to awaken?”

Lin Zhen had seen Xilanke’s ultimate form after evolution – a complete transformation into a Galaxy Beast. But his own evolution showed no signs.

Until today, upon seeing the bodies of demon insect warriors, his Galaxy Beast genes sparkled into full awakening!

“I can clearly see the energy contained within these corpses. If I use innate devouring, I can only absorb one percent of their power. To truly absorb it, I have to devour their flesh and blood.”

“If I were to eat these half-human, half-insect creatures raw, it would be somewhat…”

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, then swept his hand and collected all their bodies into the Dark Star Space, where his avatar also entered.

He didn’t control the avatar, instead allowing it to swallow instinctively. At least this way, it wouldn’t be so confronting while not wasting any energy.

Once his avatar began feasting within the Dark Star, Lin Zhen turned to the three escaped martial artists.

“You are safe now.”

One of the martial artists thanked Lin Zhen, “Thank you for your rescue, brother. Your strength has left us in awe. May I ask for your name?”

“Lin Zhen.”

“Brother Lin Zhen, we are common folk and do not know how else to thank you. We will give you all our wealth to express some gratitude.”

Lin Zhen waved his hand, “No need for that, I saved you not for money. We are all martial artists of the Fire Kirin Empire, I couldn’t just stand there and watch you being slaughtered by the Demon Insect Empire.”

The martial artists couldn’t be more thankful on realizing Lin Zhen wasn’t interested in any money.

“How come the Demon Insect Empire chased you here? This place is near the Tunnel of Light, the Demon Insect Empire’s people wouldn’t usually come this close.”

A late-stage Black Hole martial artist leading the group replied, “We discovered a resource star. They didn’t know the exact coordinates, so they chased us. We shouldn’t have revealed the minerals.”

“Oh, what kind of minerals?” Lin Zhen asked.

The martial artist rummaged through his space ring and took out a piece of ore.

“This one, it’s Thunder Crystal ore.”

The ore was blue, and there were spots of sparkling light inside it. It was really a Thunder Crystal Mine!

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes at this. He could use the Constant Star Crystals to upgrade, but the power of the Heart of Plants and Trees was gradually running out. The Star Fruit Tree’s production of Constant Star Crystals had slowed down. He was about to enter the middle stage of Constant Star, and his demand was greater, causing the upgrade process to slow down.

Normally, it would take at least a few years to progress to the Constant Star Level Nine.

Finding Thunder Crystals had become a top priority, and he didn’t expect to found it upon arriving here.

“Can you tell me the coordinates of this resource star?” Lin Zhen asked.

The martial artists looked at each other and nodded.

The martial artist continued, “Actually we don’t remember the coordinates very clearly, we only remember the general area. About one thousand star miles from here is a garbage disposal site where we found the resources while looking for valuable waste. But before we could take note of the coordinates, we encountered the demon insects. All I remember is that the surface of that star is full of garbage, with many discarded spaceships, and the minerals can only be discovered if you dig deep underground.”

Lin Zhen paused, slightly disappointed.

It seemed that finding this resource star immediately wasn’t realistic. It might take some effort.

One of the three martial artists had severe injuries and needed urgent treatment. After they finished speaking and left Lin Zhen’s Dimensional Universe number, they left in a hurry.

Lin Zhen didn’t retain them. Not everyone wanted to stay in the Chaotic Star River.

Upon finding out about the resource planet at the disposal plant, Lin Zhen set his target and began moving slowly forward in accordance with the rough coordinates provided.

“What? Not only did Lin Zhen not die, but he is also ranked first!”

Tony and his team looked incredulously at the concentration camp rankings in the Dimensional Universe.

They initially thought that Lin Zhen, for his reckless decision to stay, would definitely be eaten entirely by those Insect Clan warriors. Unexpectedly, not only did he survive, he annihilated a bunch of Locust Warriors with a kill count of three hundred and one.

“Could it be possible that we encountered a group of fake Insect Clan? How is it possible for three hundred of them to be unable to defeat a single Constant Star Level 3?”

Tony and his team were baffled.

In the current Dimensional Universe concentration camp rankings, Lin Zhen tops the list with three hundred and one, followed by Ye Hua, the son of the Mechanical World King from the Kirin Holy Star, in the second place.

Ye Hua is at Star System Level 7; he has been trained intensely by his father since childhood. He possesses not only a high realm and strong abilities, but also awakened the Golden Dragon Bloodline, the Super Star River Beast.

It’s accurate to say that Ye Hua entered the Chaotic Star River intending to be ranked first, making him the first one to enter.

Just a moment ago, Ye Hua was ranked first, having killed sixty-nine Insect Clan warriors, leading the second, Feng Qingluan by over twenty.

But in a blink of an eye, he was surpassed, and greatly at that. Lin Zhen, an unknown character unexpectedly took the lead with a kill count of three hundred!

The sword in his hand paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated, and a Demon Clan Beetle Martial Artist who had just been located was cut down by Ye Hua.

“Lin Zhen, Constant Star Level 3 … Oh! He’s indeed from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, the same place she came from, a really interesting young man.”

Ye Hua continued to advance into the depths of the starry sky; his peerlessly handsome face carried an additional hint of coldness, and his profound eyes seemed a bit gloomier.

Feng Qingluan put her Green Edge Sword down, listening to Feng Hong’er’s narration.

“You’re saying, that Lin Zhen who refused our transaction is now ranked first? Could there be a mistake?”

“Absolutely not mistaken, Miss, it’s that Lin Zhen. He performed extremely well in the World Stone, his real strength is definitely not simple, as shown on the surface. Even when Tianci advanced to the Star System level in the World Stone, he couldn’t harm him, but allowed him to escape safely. Now, his strength has further increased, it is not surprising that he can do such things.”

Feng Qingluan’s cold and icy face didn’t show any change; she just nodded slightly: “Not bad, the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation has produced another talent, I hope he won’t become our enemy.”

“Miss…”

“Lin Zhen? Where did that guy pop out from? I’ve never heard of this person before!” The disciple of Skyfire World King, Nan Lie, angrily swung his knife. He was originally ranked third, but he suddenly dropped to fourth, so how could he not be angry.

“Young Master, don’t worry, I’ll check for you…. Found it, Lin Zhen is from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.”

“Sanjiang Star Domain Federation? From the same place as that tigress? What’s his realm?”

“Constant Star Level 3…”

“Pah~! He must’ve gotten some dog sh*t luck. Otherwise, how could a small trash like him at Constant Star Level 3 kill three hundred Insect Clan Warriors? He better not let me run into him, or else I’ll let him know what it’s like to be better off dead!”

Moreover, Zhang Zhidong, a Star System Level 4 expert, also feels very annoyed. His ranking dropped from fourth to fifth, giving him a great sense of crisis.

If he doesn’t enter the top five, he won’t even be able to attain the rank of Baron. He originally had intentions to strive for the first place, so how could he accept this.

“Losing to Ye Hua and Feng Qingluan is one thing, but how could I lose to a rookie at Constant Star Level 3? It seems that in this Chaotic Star River Battle, not only do you have to kill the enemy, you also have to kill your own people!”

Besides these top World King siblings, there is one more person who is very concerned, and that is Tianci.

Tianci’s eyes are filled with coldness: “Lin Zhen… you’re really good at surviving. I had found a pirate at the Star System Stage but they failed to kill you. I thought I would let you live for a few more years, but you had to meddle in the Chaotic Star River, so don’t blame me!”

“With me here, don’t dream of leaving the Chaotic Star River alive, I also don’t believe that you small fry at Constant Star Level 3 could turn the sky!”

Almost all participants had noticed Lin Zhen, and were surprised by his performance at such a realm.

Moreover, in the Empire, this is the first time Lin Zhen’s name appeared in people’s field of vision.

He comes from Tianhe, a junior civilization Universe Country in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, he is a small Lord within this Universe Country, his strength is not outstanding, but his performance is.

However, most people firmly believe that Lin Zhen must have come across some good luck, such as encountering a group of poisoned, injured, and unconscious Demon Insect Martial Artists, and succeeded in finishing off the warriors, who were already on the brink of death, becoming temporarily the first.

But this Chaotic Star River War is not a hundred-meter dash; it’s a protracted war. Temporary success doesn’t represent anything, in the end, strength is what matters.

People believe that Lin Zhen’s first place is just temporary, and it won’t take long before he will be completely drowned in the crowd.
