Chapter 571: Chapter 572: Failed Resurrection
Lin Zhen teleported to see that the void ahead was already filled with blue flames.
The power of these flames was definitely stronger than the flames Little Phoenix emitted when it was dying. Although it was not as powerful as his current dark blue flames, it was between medium blue and dark blue, and the difference wasn’t that much.
Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that there was also a bloodline force within the flames.
It was the bloodline of a phoenix, not the Little Phoenix he knew, but belonged to another phoenix.
“Am I too late?”
Lin Zhen fought in the void, watching a man wearing colorful clothes in the distance, holding a colorful fan in his hand. With a wave of the fan, the power of the flames here became even stronger.
At the center of the flames, there was a faint shadow of a little phoenix brewing.
That was the shadow of Little Phoenix!
At this point, Lin Zhen dared not to make any rash moves.
Because Little Phoenix was about to be resurrected under the force of these flames, he feared that any action he took might cause the resurrection to fail, which was definitely not what Lin Zhen wanted to see.
So he could only wait.
The guards and martial artists who chased after him saw that Lin Zhen didn’t move, so they didn’t dare to move either. Keeping quiet now was more important than anything else.
“Burning Sky Fire! Burn!”
The man in colorful clothes kept waving his fan.
Every time he waved the fan, he seemed to be struggling, sweating profusely during each swing.
The shadow of Little Phoenix swayed slightly among the flames, but there were no signs of it taking shape.
“What’s wrong? According to the instructions of the young master, the flames before the Divine Woman’s Nirvana were only light blue, not very strong. Why can’t the deep blue flames resurrect him now?”
“The young master is a phoenix and the Divine Woman is also a phoenix. Their bloodlines must be linked, which is beyond doubt. The fire must not be strong enough. I need to push harder.”
Peacock also noticed Lin Zhen’s presence, but he had no time to care about Lin Zhen now. The Four Great Purple Crane Guards and hundreds of Divine Eagle Guards had gathered around to prevent Lin Zhen from doing anything destructive.
As the fan kept waving, the flames formed a vortex and a huge firestorm. Even space began to fluctuate under the immense firepower.
“Master, this colorful man’s Star Power has reached 23,000!”
Lin Zhen nodded silently. He had seen enough shocks from these people, and the colorful-clothed man in front of him was at the Tier Nine Star System level, but his Star Power had already surpassed Lin Zhen’s.
Among the Star System-stage people Lin Zhen had encountered, only Luo Gou’s Star Power was roughly comparable to this man. But this man did not seem to be a hegemonic figure, as he lacked the aura of dominance despite his strength.
“Where did they come from? Chris, can you find out?”
“Master, I can’t find any related information at all. You should know that my current bank account level is only Supreme Level Three, and there are only 60 billion Cosmic Crystals in your bank card.”
Lin Zhen fell silent. His bank card level had been lowered. If he wanted to return to the Supreme Five Stars, he would need to deposit 100 billion.
But even Supreme Five Stars probably couldn’t find related information, and maybe Supreme Level Nine could, but he couldn’t reach it for now.
At this critical moment, the man in colorful clothes waved his fan violently three times in a row.
“Colorful Fire Phoenix, reveal yourself!”
Three huge flame phoenixes took shape throughout the fan’s waving, and after circling in the void, they opened their mouths simultaneously, turning their surrounding power into fire snakes, spraying fiercely at a single point in space!
“Divine Woman of the Phoenix Clan, when will you show yourself!?”
The fan pointed at the focal point of the flames, where the firepower had reached a terrifying level. Little Phoenix’s figure suddenly appeared.
“Is it going to appear?” Lin Zhen’s eyes widened, not wanting to miss the moment of Little Phoenix’s resurrection. He also wondered whether the Little Phoenix resurrected by someone else would still recognize him.
However, after the explosion of flames, all the firepower was finally exhausted and slowly dissipated in the void.
At the central point of the flames, there was no sign of Little Phoenix, only emptiness remained.
“What… failed… failed?”
Peacock couldn’t believe what he saw in the void and couldn’t imagine that the resurrection had actually failed.
“That’s impossible. The young master clearly told me that as long as the Divine Woman is a phoenix, she would definitely be inspired by his bloodline power and be resurrected. And the time hasn’t come yet, there’s no possibility of failure!”
But failure was still failure. After waiting for a full five minutes, the heat in the void had dissipated, and there was still no sight of Little Phoenix.
Peacock wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned around, staring at Lin Zhen fiercely.
“It’s you! It must be you, an outsider! You destroyed the resurrection operation!”
Lin Zhen wanted to explain, but Peacock didn’t give him the chance. He pointed at Lin Zhen and said, “Capture this man! We need to have an explanation when we go back. You all saw that it was him who destroyed it, right?”
“We saw it!”
All the guards answered neatly. The mission failed, and everyone failed to benefit. A scapegoat was needed, and this outsider from New World was the best candidate.
Seeing the situation, Lin Zhen sneered, “You don’t have to be so arrogant. Even if you can defeat me, when my big brother arrives later, none of you will be able to escape.”
At this moment, Lin Zhen had already seen an artificial wormhole in the void. He didn’t know where it led, but it was undoubtedly the path taken by these people.
“Who cares about your big brother? When we came here, we investigated this place. This is called the Chaotic Star River, where even Star Domain Stage people can’t enter. At most, only Star System Stage people can. Even if you have a big brother, coming here would be suicide.”
“That’s not necessarily true. If you have the guts, wait for three minutes, and he’ll be here.”
“Don’t even think about stalling for time. Attack!”
Peacock commanded all the guards to surge forward.
Lin Zhen held his Yin-Yang Spear horizontally and resolutely threw himself into the battle.
This fight was not easy. Even if the man in colorful clothes didn’t take action, the four purple guards with a Star Power of up to 18,000 were not easy to deal with. Each of them had strength nearing Ji Du, and along with the surrounding hundreds of golden guards with over 10,000 Star Power, Lin Zhen didn’t have much of an advantage.
However, it was also impossible for these people to capture Lin Zhen. After all, he had a Star Power as high as 20,000. As long as Lin Zhen had a little time, he would definitely seize the opportunity to break through them individually and annihilate them all.
But Lin Zhen didn’t do this, as it would only invite the colorful-clothed man to take action, and he would have no chance. Now, all he wanted to do was buy time and wait for an unlikely reinforcement to arrive.
**********
Lin Zhen’s spaceship hadn’t flown too far. As soon as he realized something was wrong, his clone drove the ship back this way.
He wanted to lure Luo Gou over.
At a sub-light speed, after ten-odd minutes of flying, the spaceship had almost reached Phoenix Habitat Star.
After arriving here, the spaceship directly charged forward, causing the Martial Artists surrounding Lin Zhen to scatter and evade.
With a flash of light, the Permanent Crystal Battleship entered Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space.
Although the surrounding Martial Artists didn’t know what was going on with this battleship, it was useless in close combat, and they didn’t care what was going on. As far as they were concerned, as long as they pushed a little harder, this arrogant young man in front of them would be captured.
Everyone rushed up again, starting to besiege Lin Zhen.
But Lin Zhen remained immovable like a mountain, with his powerful Spiritual Power. It wouldn’t be easy for the Martial Artists from the Original World to capture him.
Peacock was getting anxious, as he didn’t expect this barbarian from the New World to be so troublesome. It seemed that he had to take action himself.
Just as Peacock was preparing to strike, a buzzing sound came from the sky.
Luo Gou’s spaceship appeared.
As Lin Zhen faced the attack, he shouted towards the void: “Big brother! Over here!”
The black spaceship disappeared, and Luo Gou’s figure appeared here.
Dressed in black, with surging Star Power that couldn’t be suppressed, coupled with the natural murderous aura of the first of the seven Evil Stars, all those present stopped attacking.
No one expected such a figure to exist in the New World!
In the impression of those from the Original World, New World Martial Artists couldn’t compare with those of the same level from the Original World. For example, a powerful Martial Artist like Peacock could dominate the Star System Stage if he came to the New World.
However, the black-clothed man in front of them made them feel tremendous pressure.
This person was extremely dangerous!
Even the always confident Peacock became serious at this moment.
Luo Gou had also become accustomed to being arrogant. He could confidently say that among the Star System Stage experts in the entire universe, there were definitely no more than 100 who could defeat him one-on-one!
Moreover, this was the Chaotic Star River, a forbidden zone for Star Domain Stage Martial Artists. It was virtually impossible to encounter this rare group of fewer than 100 people in the nearly infinite population of the universe. So here, he didn’t need to care about anyone.
That’s why, even if there were a swarm of flies around Lin Zhen, Luo Gou didn’t pay them any mind, and he strode through the void, heading straight for Lin Zhen.
His target was Lin Zhen, but for other people, it didn’t appear that way.
Peacock’s face became solemn, and he said to several Purple Crane Guards: “You quickly capture this kid. As for this newcomer, I’ll deal with him!”
With that said, Peacock resolutely charged forward.
Luo Gou saw a Martial Artist dressed like a turkey approaching, and without saying a word, he waved his hand: “Get out of the way!”
“It’s you who should get out of the way!”
No matter how strong Luo Gou was, Peacock, the guest from the Original World, would not fear him. The two began to fight on the spot.
Luo Gou didn’t think these people were Lin Zhen’s companions, and Peacock might not have thought that Luo Gou was Lin Zhen’s big brother. The reason they fought was simply that they didn’t want to be disturbed or complicated matters. This was the confidence of the strong ones.
They didn’t want to explain anything, nor did they need to explain anything.
“Boom~!”
A huge wave of air exploded like a nuclear explosion between the two!
The clash between the two was evenly matched!
One was a top Martial Artist from the Original World, and the other was the arena overlord. When the two met their match, they knew that they couldn’t delay in a fight between experts. An intense battle broke out immediately!
Watching Luo Gou and Peacock fight successfully in the air, Lin Zhen, who was still heavily surrounded, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
