Chapter 534: Chapter 535: Eighth Style of the Gun River, World King’s Threat!


    The Mantis Commander looked incredulously at the long spear piercing his chest,pletely unable to believe that Lin Zhen could achieve this!


    His Star Power had reached 5,300, but when Lin Zhen’s spear pierced him, time stopped, and his Star Power was rendered useless.


    Unprepared and caught off guard, he didn’t have time to break through the Time Field and was prated by Lin Zhen’s spear!


    This was the amazing effect of Time Stop. As long as you’re not fully prepared for Lin Zhen’s move, the result is often a confused submission to death!


    Lin Zhen’s spear pierced the Mantis Commander, and he twisted the Yin-Yang Spear!


    “Hai~!”


    An explosion of energy instantly shattered the Mantis’ innards!


    This was Lin Zhen. Once he gained an advantage, he would never give his opponent a chance to turn the situation around. Only a dead enemy was the safest enemy!


    The Mantis did not even leave anyst words, dying on the spot with great frustration. He had thought that by dying for a while, relying on the Insect n’s powerful recovery ability, he would have a chance to counterattack. But now, nothing was left.


    After killing the Mantis Commander, Lin Zhen took off his Space Ring.<div>


    All the corpses were directly collected by Lin Zhen into the Dark Star.


    The Suspended Ind area, which was once full of insects, had beenpletely cleared.


    The meteor belt of the Suspended Ind returned to its original state, and all traces of the war were devoured by the Space Storm, as if nothing had ever happened here.


    Lin Zhen usedary Instantaneous Movement to directly reach a nearby asteroid, which housed an Insect n Nest, the Beetle n Nest.


    On the Nest, countless insect eggs were being nurtured, and small beetles crawled in and out. As long as they were given time, this ce would soon breed arge number of new Insect ns.


    Lin Zhen flicked his finger, and a ball of pure white mes flew out,nding on the fungal carpet on the ground.


    The mes instantly swept forward, engulfing all the fungal carpet, and finally, the huge Insect n Nest became a zing inferno.


    This was the true fire formed by thebination of Fire Kirin and Fire Phoenix bloodlines. The Insect n Nest had no resistance and was burned to nothingness.


    After destroying the Beetle Nest, Lin Zhen sessively castary Instantaneous Movement to destroy the Scorpion Nest, the Ho Nest, and the Mantis Nest in turn.


    All thervae were directly swallowed by Lin Zhen into the Dark Star, bing its nourishment.


    After doing all this, Lin Zhen looked up at the starry sky.


    “Little Phoenix, do you see? I’ve already avenged half of your grievances. All the Insect n are dead.”


    “Next, there are people within the Empire. I won’t let them go either. Rest assured, and wait for the day when I resurrect you.”


    A plume of colorful clouds flew across the sky, like a phoenix dancing.


    Exhaling a long, turbid breath, Lin Zhen felt a lot morefortable in his heart.


    Opening the Mantis’ Space Ring, this was what Lin Zhen was most looking forward to. As themander of the Insect n in the Chaotic Star River, the Mantis must have considerable possessions.


    But after opening it, Lin Zhen frowned.


    Bankcards!


    Another hateful bankcard. Lin Zhen had killed many people since being reborn, but most of the time, the spoils of war were just a bank card.<div>


    The assets in the bank card couldn’t be taken out. For martial artists, who couldn’t guarantee their future, banks made a fortune from dead people’s wealth.


    Apart from bank cards, Lin Zhen rummaged through the Mantis’ ring for a while and found arge pile of metal ores. These were unprocessed and not yet converted into cash, worth about 2 to 3 billion cosmic crystals.


    “Hm… There’s a secret treasure book.”


    Lin Zhen took out this book, and excitement immediately followed.<div>


    This was actually the eighth move of the Nine Layers Spear River, Copse!


    Lin Zhen’s Nine Layers Spear River only reached the seventh move, Star Fall, and he had no idea where to find the eighth move. He didn’t even know how the Mantis got it, but it was at the bottom of the ring.


    Copse was a super battle technique, with one spear strike, the void shatters!


    If Lin Zhen had known Copse earlier, breaking through the Insect n’s stacked walls would have been a matter of a single spear strike. It was the most powerful, lethal skill.


    Whether it was Lin Zhen’s Time Stop, Spiritual Evil Spirit Cone, Telekinesis, or even Spatial sh, none of them couldpare to Copse in terms of pure lethality.


    “Hahaha~! There is still some harvest. The value of this book alone is priceless to me. As for money, I can still earn it.”


    Having obtained Copse, Lin Zhen even wanted to start practicing right away.


    “Master, the Dimensional Universe is in chaos. You should take a look.”


    Before he could start practicing, Lin Zhen received a notification from Chris and logged into the Dimensional Universe. Almost the entire Empire was discussing whether Lin Zhen’s actions were right or wrong.


    Having the ability to kill hundreds of millions of the Insect n with his own power, Lin Zhen’s strength is undoubtedly very strong, and he might even be considered the absolute best among the Star System Stage.


    However, this doesn’t mean that his killing of the rescue team was justified.


    Some people proposed punishing Lin Zhen, some suggested canceling his reward for being first on the kill list, and others said that Lin Zhen should be held ountable.


    Of course, many people also supported Lin Zhen, saying things like “swords have no eyes,” and that not killing the rescue team members would have been a burden, making the result even better.<div>


    Lin Zhen watched for a while, then directly transmitted the words he had said in that instant when he brainwashed John into the Dimensional Universe.


    Those words were definitely explosive, implicating that the Mechanical World King had instructed the rescue team to assassinate Lin Zhen. Once this came to light, it would be a huge blow to the image of the Mechanical World King and Ye Hua.


    As for Lin Zhen himself, he wouldn’t bear any responsibility, as people wouldn’t tolerate anyone who colluded with the Insect n and betrayed their own kind.


    However, after the video was uploaded, thements below left Lin Zhen quite surprised.


    After seeing this, no one med Lin Zhen anymore.


    But, no one med the Mechanical World King either!N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Those who scolded only scolded the deceased John and the others, cursing them for being treacherous and so on, but no one said anything bad about the Mechanical World King.


    Lin Zhen closed his eyes for a moment, realizing that he might have made amon sense error.


    “Chris, can you tell me what’s going on?”


    Chris quickly replied: “Master, I just found out too, World King Powerhouses in Advanced Cosmic Nations have judicial immunity. In other words, they are not bound by the Empire’sws. People who have lived in Advanced Cosmic Nations for a long time are well aware of this!”


    Lin Zhen was stunned. He hadn’t been in the Fire Kirin for long, only staying for two days before entering the Chaotic Star River, so he wasn’t too familiar with many things within the Empire.


    Even though his avatar had spent more time inside the Empire, Lin Zhen had kept a low profile to maintain secrecy, only focusing on crafting artifacts and never learning about this matter.


    He hadn’t left the Tianhe Empire in his previous life, so he couldn’t have known about it either.<div>


    “Why do World Kings have judicial immunity?”


    “Master, each World King has the qualifications to seed as an emperor of the Advanced Cosmic Nations. They can be considered the pirs of the Empire. Even the Emperor must respect these World King Powerhouses. When the survival of the Empire is at stake, low-level Martial Artists are basically useless. The factor that ultimately determines the strength of an Empire is the World Kings!”


    “The more powerful World Kings there are, the stronger the Empire will be. World Kings also have deep connections with each other, so no Empire dares to offend them. That would be digging their own grave. In history, every Empire that was overthrown or re-established was done so by World Kings. You see, don’t they have a different status?”


    Lin Zhen fell silent, not having considered this.


    “Not only do they have judicial immunity, but World Kings also have a status that transcends all others, free from legal constraints. Moreover, the Dimensional Universe has real-name registration – who would dare to offend the World Kings? That would practically be a death wish. Therefore, although many people sympathize with you, no one dares to speak up for you.”


    Lin Zhen saw that thements were indeed like this. People didn’t even treat Lin Zhen very warmly, as everyone knew that his post would only bring disaster.


    Some kindhearted people even said, “Lin Zhen, just delete it.”


    Many people didn’t even dare to say that, showing the deterrent power of the World King.


    Lin Zhen could understand this behavior very well. What do World Kings represent? They almost represent the highest battle power of an Advanced Cosmic Nation.


    With unparalleled power and free from legal constraints, who would dare to offend the World King?


    Lin Zhen even saw some familiar names in thements below, such as the dwarf Ni Ke whom he had met before, and Han Sha from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Their messages were more moderate.


    “Lin Zhen, I know what happened, but just delete it. Sometimes people need to bow their heads.”


    “Let the past be in the past. Take this as a lesson on growth. You still have a long way to go in the future. Do you understand?”<div>


    “Lin Zhen, remember, you’re not alone. You have family and territory. Don’t lose sight of the big picture!”


    Lin Zhen didn’t make a sound for a while, silently looking at the video. If he deleted it now, it would mean that he had surrendered.


    Once he surrendered, he wouldn’t be able to make trouble for Ye Hua, and the revenge for Little Phoenix would remain unfulfilled.


    Refusing to surrender, what would the future hold?


    Perhaps it would be extremely difficult, and even his own family might be in danger.


    At this moment, a newment appeared.


    “Lin Zhen, I will give you one minute to delete this video, and I can pretend that this matter never happened.”


    The person who left thement had a golden name, representing their lofty status.


    Mechanical World King!


    After thisment appeared, there were no morements below.


    Everyone was watching, waiting, and waiting for Lin Zhen’s choice.


    Although they all believed that Lin Zhen had no choice at all, the Mechanical World King had directly threatened him through thement. If Lin Zhen persisted, it would be a dead end.
