Chapter 510: 511: Constant Star Level Nine, Breakthrough with Borrowed Power!
With his enormous financial resources, Lin Zhen managed to close the gap between him and Ye Hua.
There was just one more thing, the winner would claim victory and the loser would be eliminated.
This was the most intense and brutal competition, as the Fire Kirin’s chosen one faced a formidable challenge from a young man who hadn’t even reached the Black Hole Period.
And to everyone’s astonishment, the usually high and aloof Ye Hua was actually flustered!
Never having lost before might not necessarily be a good thing, because without experiencing setbacks, one lacks resilience when facing strong challenges, despite possessing great strength.
When he was leading, Ye Hua could perform normally, but now, with both he and Lin Zhen on the same starting line, Ye Hua seemed agitated.
Even some of the martial artists around could see that Ye Hua was in a bad situation.
“Ye Hua! What are you doing? If you don’t focus now, you’re going to lose!”
“Forget that you are the so-called first Fire Kirin, now you’re just an ordinary competitor, a competitor who will lose the match if you don’t work hard, so drop your arrogance!”
Nan Lie’s scolding made Ye Hua instantly sober, and he realized how agitated he had become.
Having great talent, he forced himself to calm down, and after practicing for a few cycles, he didn’t look at Lin Zhen again and focused entirely on the Heaven Stele.
The intense competition resumed.
Now there were only six people left contemplating the Heaven Stele, including Lin Zhen and Ye Hua, Feng Qingluan and Lanka, as well as Jin Naluo and the Insect Clan’s Commander.
In the tenth month, the first person to reach the top was born!
At the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele, Feng Qingluan stood up and gracefully jumped up, directly onto the only pillar in the tenth row!
She had succeeded!
Before her, there were only 79 people who had successfully reached the tenth row on the Suspended Island, and Feng Qingluan was the 80th. Her name would be forever engraved here for future generations to admire.
After Feng Qingluan’s success, Lanka sighed slightly and voluntarily jumped down from the pillar on the ninth row, as his inability to advance further made it meaningless for him to stay.
People from the Landis Empire tried to leave but were stopped by people from the Insect Clan Empire, and they talked about something unknown.
Following Feng Qingluan’s success, a change occurred at the Time Heaven Stele.
The Mantis Commander and Jin Naluo also almost simultaneously ascended to the ninth row, but within two minutes, they both gave up in succession.
The challenge of contemplating the ninth row of the Time Heaven Stele was too difficult for them to complete, as the immense pressure made it unbearable and they had to give up.
As a result, there were only three people left on the Heaven Stele: Feng Qingluan on the tenth row of the Spiritual Power Stele, and Lin Zhen and Ye Hua on the ninth row of the Space Stele.
All that reverberated in Lin Zhen’s mind was the method of Planetary Instantaneous Movement.
“I already mastered the method of teleportation before reaching the Star Realm, but it is completely different from the Planetary Instantaneous Movement.”
“To quickly cultivate this technique, I’m afraid I don’t have an advantage compared to Ye Hua since he is in the late stage of the Star System, while I am just a seven-level Constant Star. His Star Power is much stronger than mine, and he has an advantage in the same teleportation simulation training.”
“My only advantage is that I have the Dark Star Space, a better training ground compared to Ye Hhua.”
“But to enter and exit the Dark Star Space, I need my Star Power to reach 1,000. Maybe I should advance.”
Lin Zhen had been on the Suspended Island for nine months without having time to advance. Now, at a critical moment, he immediately began to break through.
Right on the pillar of the ninth row, Lin Zhen absorbed a batch of Thunder Crystals and directly broke through to the Constant Star Eighth Level!
Lin Zhen’s on-the-spot breakthrough surprised Ye Hua, who hadn’t expected Lin Zhen to advance at such a time. However, in Ye Hua’s view, whether it was Constant Star Level Seven or Eight, they were both too low to be worth mentioning.
It wasn’t until the eleventh month, when Lin Zhen broke through for the second time to reach Constant Star Level Nine, that Ye Hua truly began to take him seriously.
The final trial of Planetary Instantaneous Movement was a headache for Ye Hua too, as he still couldn’t fully grasp it. Although he felt he had mastered some methods, there was still something missing, and he even considered leaving the pillar to test it in outer space.
For a month, both he and Lin Zhen had made no progress, with Lin Zhen having advanced all the way from the Constant Star Seventh Level to the Ninth Level.
“How did this guy manage to advance continuously? It’s normal to advance once, probably just at the breaking point, but what’s with the continuous advancement?”
Ye Hua sensed something wrong and had a feeling that if he didn’t do something, he would lose this competition.
“I won’t lose! I absolutely won’t lose!”
“I have the bloodline of the Super Star River Beast, the Golden Dragon, and should soar above the nine heavens. How could I lose to an opponent who hasn’t even reached the Black Hole Period!”
“I need a little more help… That’s it!”
Ye Hua’s gaze fell on Feng Qingluan, who had already reached the tenth row. He even felt that Feng Qingluan’s Spiritual Power seemed to be on the verge of advancing, breaking through the Sky Blue barrier and reaching an even higher realm.
Ye Hua knew that if he wanted to defeat Lin Zhen quickly, he would have to rely on a little external force, and the source of that force was Feng Qingluan.
He locked his eyes firmly on Feng Qingluan, waiting for the moment she succeeded.
As for Lin Zhen, he was adapting to his newfound Star Power. After two consecutive breakthroughs, Lin Zhen’s Star Power had reached 999!
He was only one step away from the 1,000 mark.
At this point, Lin Zhen also knew the key to mastering Planetary Instantaneous Movement was to achieve 1,000 Star Power, breaking through the Dark Star Space, allowing himself to come and go freely within the Dark Star Space, and completing the initial stage of Planetary Instantaneous Movement.
By then, he could ascend to the 10th row and learn the entire Planetary Instantaneous Movement, but for now, he lacked the strength.
He was currently in the early stages of Constant Star Level Nine. If given time to continue cultivation for another ten or eight days, absorbing some Constant Star Crystals, his Star Power would definitely exceed 1,000, but it was likely too late now.
Ye Hua seemed to have found the key as well, and his breakthrough was expected within these two days.
While seizing every opportunity to cultivate, Lin Zhen also closely watched Feng Qingluan’s movements. He felt that the success or failure of everything hinged on the talented underworld boss.
At this point, all the Martial Artists from the Insect Clan, Rakshasa Empire, and Landis Empire had left the Suspended Island, with only the Fire Kirin people remaining.
They were curious to see who would ultimately win this final contest, so none of them left.
Another three days have passed.
Dark clouds filled the sky above, with flashes of lightning and roars of thunder. Even though the Suspended Island had always been like this, today’s celestial phenomena were even more violent, as if something unusual was about to happen.
“Lin Zhen! Today decides our victory or defeat!”
Ye Hua, who had always been quietly cultivating, suddenly said this to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen looked up and focused his gaze on Feng Qingluan, who was sitting in the 10th row opposite.
He saw colorful lights swirling around her, with tremendous Spiritual Power surging out like a storm. Her Spiritual Power had advanced!
This was no longer the range of Sky Blue Spiritual Power. The original blue light had become even brighter, as if it had come to life, turning green!
Streams of green aura, shimmering with tiny starlight spots, exerted an infinite pressure on people with their Spiritual Power alone.
Above Sky Blue was the Cui Mang Level of Spiritual Power!
“Now’s the time…”
Suddenly, Ye Hua tore off his clothes, revealing a lifelike golden dragon coiled around his back.
“I have the bloodline of the Super Star River Beast Golden Dragon, and I was born to be a king. I have always said that there are two things I pursue: one is the peak of the Martial Way, and the other is Feng Qingluan because she is my perfect match, possessing the Phoenix bloodline!”
Ye Hua looked deeply at Lin Zhen, “Lin Zhen, I must admit that I admire your ability to push me this far. Perhaps you’re just one step away from a breakthrough too. However, it’s a pity—you will lose!”
“Because Qing Luan is here. The bloodline of the true Dragon and the Phoenix have a mysterious connection. Now that her Spiritual Power has advanced, a little bit of the power she transfers to me will be enough for me to break through my bottleneck. But you…you have no one to help you!”
With that said, Ye Hua shouted towards Feng Qingluan, “Qing Luan, help me!”
He didn’t have enough time to defeat Lin Zhen relying on his comprehension alone. He needed external help.
Feng Qingluan slowly opened her eyes. The divine light flickered within them, and her Spiritual Power advancement brought her immense power.
Looking at Ye Hua, who had bared his Golden Dragon and beseeched her for help, Feng Qingluan bit her lip.
“Qing Luan, what are you hesitating for? Don’t forget the agreement between our masters. You have to help me at this time!”
Ye Hua grew anxious. Without Feng Qingluan’s help, he had no way to defeat Lin Zhen. He sensed that Lin Zhen could make a breakthrough within a few days, but he still had no clue about the final comprehension.
Lin Zhen also opened his eyes, watching Feng Qingluan’s move, eager to see what decision the powerful woman would make.
Feng Qingluan stood up, raised her hand, and waved it in the direction of Ye Hua and Lin Zhen.
A torrent of Star Power surged forth like a spring breeze and rainfall!
“It’s over! It’s finished! Lin Zhen has lost.”
“It can’t be helped; Ye Hua has such a powerful woman like Feng Qingluan.”
“They’re engaged, right? Otherwise, why would Feng Qingluan listen to Ye Hua’s words?”
“It seems like it, but I think Feng Qingluan’s talent might be even higher than Ye Hua!”
“Anyway, Lin Zhen has lost. The Dragon and Phoenix bloodlines naturally have a way to communicate with each other. As long as Ye Hua gets a bit of Feng Qingluan’s power, he can ascend to the 10th floor and break through. Lin Zhen has no hope.”
To witness the end of this contest, the Fire Kirin observers all stood up, although Ye Hua’s victory was not entirely honorable.
