Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Kirin Holy Star
Translator: 549690339
The journey from Earth to the Fire Kirin capital, Kirin Holy Star, spans over five million light-years.
If not for the several wormholes along the way shortening the distance, even a spaceship traveling at the speed of light would take decades to reach!
Lin Zhen set out from Earth, passed through the Mars wormhole to reach Aurora Planet, then proceeded to Hills Star. After that, he had to fly through the parallel universe for ten days before reaching the next wormhole and entering the Fire Kirin Empire’s Star Domain.
The ten-day journey felt like a hundred days for Lin Zhen.
Throughout his cultivation, he had reached the peak of Constant Star Level Two and Dark Star had reached the pinnacle of Evident Universe.
Additionally, Lin Zhen experienced a significant breakthrough in his Spiritual Power, reaching a hundred percent Sky Blue!%
Ninety percent was considered the peak of Sky Blue, while one hundred percent was considered complete mastery!
Lin Zhen didn’t know what lay beyond Sky Blue Spiritual Power, nor had he ever seen a Martial Artist with Spiritual Power exceeding Sky Blue.
He needed an opportunity, one that could help him break through. If he could break through the Sky Blue Spiritual Power, he would gain a significant advantage over his peers.
After reaching the completion of Sky Blue Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen’s Galaxy Domain also leveled up.
The control of Domain power relied on Spiritual Power. The range of his Level 2 Galaxy Domain expanded significantly, covering a diameter of a thousand kilometers. Within one second, Lin Zhen could condense twenty planets, boosting the power of Tianhe Star Explosion even further.
“Chris, has my Star Power increased?”
“Master, since your realm hasn’t made any significant breakthroughs, your Star Power has increased, but not much. It rose from 410 to 420. Compared to your realm, your Spiritual Power has gained more.”
Lin Zhen nodded slightly, acknowledging that 420 Star Power was already quite impressive. If his Star Power reached 500, he would be on par with the average of Star System Level 1.
“No rush. Once the next batch of Planet Crystals matures, I’ll be able to advance to Constant Star Level three, and there will be some progress.”
The spaceship’s speed gradually slowed down as the wormhole leading to the Fire Kirin Empire’s Star Domain appeared ahead.
Leaving the parallel universe, the spaceship entered the wormhole. Upon exiting, Lin Zhen was already more than five million light-years away from Earth.
A scanning beam swept across Lin Zhen’s Permanent Crystal Battleship.
“This is the Fire Kirin Empire’s Star Domain. Please disable your spaceship’s defense system and allow us to conduct an identity check.”
The military’s tone was relatively polite, probably because they saw Lin Zhen’s high-end spaceship and didn’t dare to be too disrespectful.
Ordinary spaceships couldn’t deflect scanning beams, but this top-grade Permanent Crystal Battleship could. If Lin Zhen didn’t disable his defense system, the other party wouldn’t be able to scan the ship.
Lin Zhen deactivated the spaceship’s defense system, allowing the scanning beam to enter.
“From the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, Tianhe Empire, Lin Zhen… What is your purpose in coming here?”
“I’m here to participate in the camp for those under a hundred years old.”
“Oh, please wait a moment. Let me contact them.”
The wait took nearly an hour, leaving Lin Zhen growing impatient.
An hour later, the voice spoke again, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting. We needed to verify your participant status, but since you’re a replacement, it took a bit longer.”
“So, can I leave now?”
“Not yet. We have staff from the camp here. They’ll issue you an ID. Without an ID number, you can’t enter the camp.”
Lin Zhen waited for a while longer before a small spaceship came. Once connected to Lin Zhen’s battleship, they boarded.
“This is your ID number. From now on, when you enter the camp and enter the Chaotic Star River, this number plate will record your information, such as your kill count, whether you’re dead or alive, and so on. You can now enter the number into your Dimensional Universe system.
They then handed Lin Zhen a string of numbers.
Upon have a look, Lin Zhen found that the number was actually 300,000.
“Three hundred thousand? Is my sequence number this round?” Lin Zhen asked.
The staff member smiled and said, “It’s not that your number is particularly well-rounded, but that there are only three hundred thousand participants in this camp. Since you are the last-arriving replacement, your number is at the very end.”
“So that’s how it is.”
The staff member gave Lin Zhen another glance and added, “Besides, since you have the lowest realm among all participants, it’s fitting you get the 300,000th number.”
This time, there was a hint of disdain in his words. Lin Zhen’s face turned cold: “Are you mocking me?”
As he spoke, a powerful Spiritual Power enveloped the staff member.
The staff member, a Constant Star Level Nine, struggled to breathe under the pressure of Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power. A fear from the depths of his soul gripped him; he knew that if he made any more offending moves, Lin Zhen’s Mental Shock could easily kill him!
At this moment, he regretted deeply, regretting why he had been so provocative.
Not a single participant from various parts of the empire should be underestimated.
Seeing the coldness in Lin Zhen’s eyes and the sweat beads rolling down his forehead, Lin Zhen coldly snorted, “Is there anything else? If not, get lost!”
“Oh, apologies, you need to arrive at the camp within three days. The departure date is in five days. If you don’t arrive within three days, it will be considered as forfeiting your participant status.”
“Understood!”
Lin Zhen waved his hand, directly throwing the staff out of the spaceship.
The spaceship accelerated, speeding towards the depths of the starry sky.
“How terrifying! Does a Constant Star Level Two contestant really have such a strong power? Is this really a country bumpkin from a low-level civilization Universe Country?”
The staff wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling that his body was still trembling.
********
Lin Zhen had never seen such a huge planet before.
At a distance of several hundred star distances from the Kirin Holy Star, he could see densely-packed fortress satellites and orbital cannons operating in the air.
During this time, continuous interstellar fleets were traveling and patrolling to prevent anyone who could potentially pose a threat to the Kirin Holy Star from entering the starry sky.
After passing through this defense circle, the giant planet in front was clearly visible from several hundred star distances away.
“This is so much larger than the sun, and even the huge planets in Hills Star can’t compare to it.”
The communication station inside the battleship automatically received a signal.
“Welcome to the Fire Kirin Empire’s capital, Kirin Star. Please do not worry, any spaceship arriving at the Kirin Holy Star for the first time will automatically receive this video.”
A beautiful woman appeared on the screen of the console, and began to introduce with a gentle voice.
“The Kirin Holy Star has a history of over 80 trillion years to date. This planet has its current size due to the transformation of countless martial artists for countless years. The diameter of this planet exceeds 50 million kilometers and is actually composed of several billion ordinary planets combined.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart. It turned out that such a huge planet was formed by the fusion of billions of other planets. This is simply comparable to the Herculean task of moving mountains and filling the seas, and even more difficult than that.
“This planet was originally the lair of an extinct Super Star River Beast, Fire Kirin, hence the imperial name, Fire Kirin Empire. The Fire Kirin also serves as the guardian beast totem of the empire. Please do not commit any acts of disrespect towards the Fire Kirin when you arrive.”
Of course, Lin Zhen would not be disrespectful. His original form was a variation of the Fire Kirin, and his clones were also Fire Kirin. It could be said that this was his second homeland.
After that, the woman introduced some basic information about the Fire Kirin Empire and provided the location coordinates for the participants’ concentration camp according to Lin Zhen’s contestant status.
“We wish you a pleasant and memorable journey in the Fire Kirin Empire. Goodbye!”
After the female anchor’s video disappeared, Lin Zhen’s spaceship just happened to enter the atmosphere of the Kirin Holy Star.
Lin Zhen’s landing location was near the capital city above the Holy Star.
As the spaceship descended, Lin Zhen looked down from above, and the vast capital city below was almost an endless sprawl. At least within his field of vision, he could only see the southern gate of the capital city, and the locations of the other gates were not visible.
The concentration camp was located 100,000 kilometers east of the capital city.
“Master, should we go to the concentration camp now, or visit the capital city first?”
Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “Let’s go to the capital city. Since we’re here, it would be a pity not to visit. We can go to the concentration camp in three days.”
The spaceship changed direction and flew straight to the southern gate of the capital city.
“Master, there is a air prohibition facility here. We must descend.”
Lin Zhen raised his hand, directly retrieving the huge Permanent Crystal Battleship into the seclusion of the Dark Star Space. Then, lightning wings emerged behind him, and he began to descend to the ground.
The southern gate of Kirin Capital City gave Lin Zhen a glimpse into a whole new world.
The ten-kilometer-tall metal wall was more than a kilometer thick, with a shiny surface that gave the impression of indestructibility.
Under the air prohibition, this wall was indeed almost indestructible, providing a strong defense for the capital city.
Standing atop the city wall was a life-like statue of a Kirin, reaching a height of one kilometer.
Looking at the Kirin, Lin Zhen felt a sense of familiarity, as if he was seeing an adult Xiao Nuan.
Just as Lin Zhen looked up at it, a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind!
“Where did that bumpkin come from? What are you looking at by the city gate? Get out of the way!”
Lin Zhen turned his head to see a group of female knights walking up behind him.
This group of female knights wore black tight-fitting clothes underneath a large red Artifact cape and carried matching golden swords. They had an impressive, heroic presence that seemed very cool.
As Lin Zhen stood there watching, someone next to him pulled him: “Why are you still looking? These are people from the Qing Luan Society. They’re a new and powerful force in the Fire Kirin Empire. Be careful not to get into trouble if you block their way.”
“Qing Luan Society? There’s one here too?”
“Of course! Their leader is very impressive. She came here from the Sanjiang Star Federal Union, even taking the Mixed World King as her master. And it’s not all thanks to her master; she fought her way to being a strong one in the Star System Middle Stage, all on her own. She’s also a very beautiful woman.”
“Really? What’s her name?”
“Feng Qingluan, look… she’s coming.”
