Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Super Cosmic Crystal Boulder
Translator: 549690339
At the cost of one Cosmic Crystal per second, which is equivalent to a hundred thousand Kirin Coins, the price was actually extremely high, but Lin Zhen could currently afford it.
It would only take three thousand six hundred Cosmic Crystals per hour, and after a whole day of hard searching, he had another ten million Cosmic Crystals on hand.
With a movement of his Spiritual Power, the Cosmic Crystals lined up and advanced at high speed, and instantly twenty-eight thousand eight hundred Cosmic Crystals filled the small hole.
These were enough for eight hours of use, just in time for when the dwarf would wake up.
As the Cosmic Crystals were injected, the surrounding space-time field took shape again, and the passage of time slowed down once more.
“This really is a miraculous thing. I haven’t had the energy to study the Time Stone recently, but there’s no doubt that time deceleration is even more difficult than acceleration.”
“If deceleration could be applied to the battlefield, the enemy’s movements would be as slow as a turtle, which would also be incredibly helpful in combat.”
Lin Zhen thought about it and knew how difficult it would be to comprehend time deceleration, so he didn’t think about it too much for now.
Spending eight hours training inside the space-time field was equivalent to four days outside.
Now, Lin Zhen had been in the World Stone for a month and twenty-seven days. By the time he finished his training, two months would have passed, and he would be able to use Mithril to start leveling up.
Seated in the Foldable Space, Lin Zhen’s training was methodical.
The Great Zhou Star Power circulated, followed by the use of Spiritual Power, and then the study of the Time Stone.
Eight hours, a full four days.
On the fourth day, Lin Zhen absorbed Mithril, raising his realm from Satellite Level 1 to Satellite Level 2.
Afterwards, he stabilized his realm, and when he felt hungry, he finally came out to see the dwarf Ni Ke waking up, stretching lazily.
Ni Ke’s stretching stopped halfway when she saw Lin Zhen coming out, and she greeted him, “Hey! Lin Zhen, you seem a little… huh!”
The second half of the sentence was swallowed back in, and she looked at Lin Zhen as if she had seen a ghost, “No way, you leveled up just after I took a nap?”
“Hehe, maybe it’s just a coincidence.”
“Coincidence! Go fool someone else! Do you really think I’d believe such an absurd thing? Lin Zhen, what realm are you in, and why can’t I see through it at all? Every time I think I’ve figured out your strength, you surprise me again.”
Lin Zhen deliberately stroked his chin, “Why are you trying to figure out my strength? Are you eyeing my wealth and planning to rob me?”
“Get out of here! With hundreds of millions of Cosmic Crystals in my hands, I don’t need to find you… huh!”
Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up, “What did you say? You have accumulated hundreds of millions of Cosmic Crystals?”
“No! I didn’t say anything just now, you must have heard wrong.”
Lin Zhen chuckled, not pursuing the issue further, but was indeed surprised that the dwarf was so rich, with hundreds of millions of Cosmic Crystals. This was really a big tycoon.
The dwarf regretted accidentally letting slip her wealth, and for the rest of the day she stayed silent, refusing to mention any issues about money.
She was extremely sensitive to wealth, and when she entered the Dimensional Universe Company, she could sense that Lin Zhen had a lot of Cosmic Crystals on him, far more than hers, definitely over a hundred million.
But this guy spent all his money in one go.
He was a super spendthrift, and the dwarf would bet her life that her hundred million Cosmic Crystals would disappear instantly if they fell into his hands.
So now being with Lin Zhen, she was very cautious, not daring to show off her wealth at all.
But the dwarf’s nature was to brag, and each time she couldn’t help herself, she wished she could slap herself in the face.
The two spent a full six days here in Hell Path, and during these six days, the dwarf witnessed miracles once again.
Lin Zhen practiced diligently, spending only twelve hours a day collecting Cosmic Crystals, and using the remaining twelve hours for training.
In these six days, he magically went from Satellite Level 2 to Satellite Level 3.
At this moment, the dwarf’s feelings were indescribable and she couldn’t understand what was going on. Levelling up in six days shouldn’t be called genius or freakish, but more like a machine.
In the six days of the Hell Path, Lin Zhen gained around 40 million Cosmic Crystals.
Afterwards, they spent another six days in the Hungry Ghost Path, with roughly the same gains. Lin Zhen advanced to Satellite Level 4!
Time passed unnoticed, and there were only three days left until the end of the World Stone!
After leaving the Six Paths Reincarnation, they reached the end of the World Stone, the Underground Temple.
Past the Underground Temple was the No Return Path, where they could leave the World Stone.
Out of the 200,000 people who initially entered the World Stone, only less than 10,000 remained.
These three months were bloody, with various forces fighting against each other. Many were eliminated and only the strong remained.
The interior of the underground palace temple had become empty.
Towering stone pillars surrounded the temple, supporting the enormous hall of the temple.
Behind the temple was the No Return Path; stepping onto it meant leaving the World Stone.
After days of fierce battles, there were no more ghosts inside the temple, but no one was willing to leave.
At the very end of the temple, right before the No Return Path, there was a gigantic stone floating in the air, as huge as a small planet!
This was no ordinary rock, but the core element of this World Stone – a huge Cosmic Crystal!
The formation of a World Stone was based on the Cosmic Crystals, with half scattered on the outside and the other half forming the actual World Stone.
One could say that the total amount of Cosmic Crystals outside, whether discovered or not, was equal to the size of the gigantic Cosmic Crystal in front of them!
The white Cosmic Crystal emanated a faint light, attracting everyone’s attention.
This was an invaluable treasure. Nobody could accurately estimate how many fragmented Cosmic Crystals would be obtained if the gigantic Cosmic Crystal was shattered. The visual impact of its immense size left everyone unable to look away.
“My heavens! If this Cosmic Crystal were shattered, there would be hundreds of billions of fragments!”
“Yeah, I asked the intelligent life to estimate it earlier. But it could only give a rough idea, which is between 500 billion and one trillion pieces.”
“So, what are we waiting for? Why not go and take it away?”
“You don’t know how difficult it is. This Cosmic Crystal is the core of the world. If we move it away, the whole World Stone will collapse immediately. And without the Star System Stage strength, it’s impossible to shatter it. All we can do is chip off a small piece.”
“Then let’s chip it off. It doesn’t matter how much we get! If we can get 10%… no! 1%… no! 0.1% of it, I would become the richest man in our star system!”
“Let’s go! Nobody can stop me!”
“Come on, everyone, hurry up! It’s now or never!”
Everyone rushed towards the Cosmic Crystal in a frenzy. The World Stone’s air resistance was harsh, and this Cosmic Crystal was located extremely high up. It hovered like a planet, making it difficult to ascend due to the enormous pressure. Many people could barely reach the bottom of the Cosmic Crystal, let alone break off pieces from it.
Some tried to take away the Cosmic Crystal but were unable to move it. As people said, without the Star System Stage strength, this gigantic stone remained impossible to take away.
But that didn’t dampen their enthusiasm. Faced with such a treasure, no one would leave empty-handed. Anyone who could truly ignore this opportunity was undoubtedly a fool.
“Clang~!!!”
A sharp sword sound rang out, along with sparks flying off the gigantic Cosmic Crystal. Some fragments drifted down, and whoever managed to get them broke into hysterical laughter: “Haha! Hahaha! With just one sword, I got 300,000 Cosmic Crystals! This is definitely a faster way of collecting!”
Someone else lifted his long knife into the sky, using all his strength in a slash. This strike produced shard and debris that amounted to about 400,000 Cosmic Crystals!
However, these martial artists could not manage to ascend a second time after landing. The weight of this massive pressure made it hard to ascend and take the Cosmic Crystals.
All Martial Artists kept jumping and using their life’s effort to grab some Cosmic Crystal shards, only to lose strength and fall back to the ground, sitting down to recover.
Few people could ascend twice in a row!
Although there were many people present, not all could ascend due to this limitation. In a short period, everyone only had one chance!
“Sisters! Hurry up!”
The four beautiful ladies of the Qing Luan Society, Zi’er, Hong’er, Qing’er, and Lv’er, quickly arrived before the gigantic Cosmic Crystal.
“Everyone, quickly find a good position. There are only three days left before the end of the World Stone. Within these three days, our Qing Luan Society must obtain the most Cosmic Crystals!”
The women’s troop of the Qing Luan Society arrived one after another. They were the largest force left, with several hundreds of people.
As the Qing Luan Society members arrived, even more people who heard the news came to the end of the underground palace temple to get a share of the riches.
Beyond the Cosmic Crystal, they could step onto the No Return Path, secure a qualifying spot, and participate in the Hundred Years Concentration Camp, yet nobody was willing to leave immediately.
The immense wealth and power of the Cosmic Crystal were simply too alluring, and nobody could resist it!
The faint light of the Cosmic Crystal shone on everyone’s faces, revealing their greed.
People were naturally greedy, and if you could resist the temptation of wealth, it merely meant the wealth wasn’t enough!
And this Cosmic Crystal represented immeasurable wealth!
