Chapter 2121: Summit Battle 9

Eternal Summit underground space.

Waves of pale golden light, like substance, continuously drilled in and out of Lin An's body surface.

Unlike the previous immense pressure, Lin An's expression was extremely relaxed, even his aura was much stronger than before entering.

If another Fifth Stage cultivator looked at him with the naked eye, they would be surprised to find that Lin An now resembled overlapping "layers", as if dragging some rule phantom with every move.

Although he would still be affected by pollution, after constructing many faith nodes in his body, he now resembled a fortified fortress, far less easily shaken than before.

"It's just a pity that the reserves of Term: Faith Power are too little."

"Of course, just connecting these is already enough."

Raising his hand, Lin An smiled, looking satisfied at his right hand. With a slight exertion, gripping tightly, instantly, what originally required the temporal flame to cooperate to trigger a spatial attack, now burst out a black rift bare-handed.

Unable to determine exactly how much his power had increased, after a rough estimate, Lin An roughly had a number in mind.

"I have now connected about 332 cellular nodes, but in terms of power increase, it's 33%."

"Each unit of Term: Faith Power can boost power by 0.1%; moreover, if I concentrate all connected nodes at the same spot, I get an enhancement!"

"My situation is like a commander of ten million legions; each successful connection lets me station a new me in the legion! In terms of commanding (controlling) the legion (body), the efficiency is almost exponentially enhanced!"

Even though this line of thought was figured out by Lin An himself, he couldn't help but feel amazed, unbelievable.

He merely thought of a new application of Term: Faith Power, yet in terms of power increase, it turned out to be more useful than mastering ten rules!

Know that his current limit combat power is already 868 times that of his peers! Regular combat power is also over four hundred times!

One unit of Term: Faith Power increases power by 0.1%; iterating this number, Lin An cannot imagine how terrifying his power would become if nearly ten billion Survivors worldwide were converted into kindling.

Even..

"It can be even stronger! This is far from my limit!"

"Essentially, my spiritual power is merely connected to 'one' Term: Faith Power, that is, that cluster of divine fire."

"Thus, my spiritual power, psychic energy, rule power, and even thinking ability can all be strengthened this way."

"The only limit is how much Term: Faith Power I have."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin An took a deep breath, and only now did he suddenly understand why No. 77 insisted he take this path.

Too strong! Really too abnormal!

Although he had previously marveled at the peculiarity of the Faith system, recalling earlier, that bit of Faith system advantage really amounted to nothing.

What Lin An didn't know was that he thought his devised "technique" was common to the Faith system, but in fact it is extremely rare, a miracle unique to him.

Strictly speaking, his method already belongs to merging god and believers, becoming a god-devourer in disguise.

In reality, no "god" dares to merge with believers; even if they dared, they cannot achieve perfect fusion and would instantly be shattered by backlash.

"There should be no problem from now on."

"With the help of the Dream Mouse, I might reach the coordinates by the eighth day, or even the seventh."

"But what was that earlier fluctuation? Is it related to me?"

Frowning slightly, Lin An looked doubtfully toward the surface.

He hadn't failed to notice the pressure that appeared not long ago, especially that pressure which felt somewhat familiar, like the one he felt during the Third Rank trial.

Just not knowing whether the distance was too far causing vague perception, Lin An couldn't determine what that thing actually was.

If that were the case, the position would be off; rather than saying it was aimed at him, it's more like it was aimed at the whole Starlight Battlefield.

After cautiously staying alert for a few minutes, Lin An also had to give up investigating.

"Maybe it's the Starlight Alliance causing it? After all, according to my earlier guess, this place might be conducting some tests; perhaps something went wrong, drawing the system's attention."

"But... it doesn't matter; the chance it's related to me is tiny. I didn't do anything..."

Shaking his head, Lin An no longer dwelled on this abnormal fluctuation.

"If it were aimed at me, I would have already had an accident; if not, even if the sky falls, there's a tall guy holding it up—what's it to Lin An?"

"The glorious Starlight Alliance couldn't possibly fail to handle such a minor issue, could it?"

Dispelling his thoughts, Lin An skillfully tugged the Dream Mouse's tail. Without pollution's influence, his speed would increase again; plus the Dream Mouse, the time to reach the artifact's coordinates was undoubtedly greatly shortened.

At this speed, he should arrive roughly tomorrow. This is a full two days earlier than Dayanzhuzi's estimate.

Nothing is more important than obtaining that nightmare-level divine artifact!

He yanked hard on the Dream Mouse's tail.

The next second, only a "squeak—squeak!" sound was heard.

The Dream Mouse, whose tail was pulled, cried out in pain, then with a "whoosh!" it sped up again under Lin An's coercion, puffing up angrily.

At the same time.

Eternal Summit's underground core.

Within the boundless void.

A huge heart, ten thousand meters in size, kept beating; at the heart's center, thick blood vessels extended from the beating heart like octopus tentacles, stretching in all directions.

And at the ends of those blood vessels lay complete corpses, eyes tightly shut.

In the dark's beating.

These corpses were like sleeping guardians, silently standing here, forever.

Star Gate Transmission Copy, Exchange Point.

"Boom—Crack"

The heavy alloy door slowly opened; seeing a black space vortex rapidly expand, over a hundred Fifth Stage cultivators strode out.

Under the influence of over a hundred Fifth Stage and three Star-Destroying Level cultivators, this transfer base, used for transit, was somewhat overloaded, with metallic deformation sounds echoing everywhere.

He stepped forward, walking in the lead.

The Dark Flame Armor of the Star-Destroyer in charge of the capture operation silently surveyed the surroundings.

After confirming no abnormalities, he respectfully looked toward the direction of the Creator Alliance and sent a message to Black Flame.

"Lord Black Flame, we have already arrived at the solar system transit station."

"We are expected to reach the nearest solar system dungeon in two hours; at the fastest, we will be able to jump to the vicinity of the star in that region in two hours and forty-three minutes."

"According to the information we currently have, the old-era experimental site discovered by Qing Kai is located on a planet near the star."

"After briefly sending the current situation, soon the message from Black Flame also lit up."

"Increase the speed a bit more."

"Don't worry about the destruction caused by spatial jumps; you only need to capture a batch of similar monkeys, the rest can be cleared at will."

"If you find an old-era device, report to me immediately!"

"A single word decides the life and death of hundreds of millions of beings."

"The message was cold and ruthless, and the Creator squad that received the order likewise felt nothing wrong."

"For them, if they had not discovered a potentially valuable old-era artifact on Earth, they would not even have landed; they would simply choose to destroy that fragile planet by the simplest means."

"Go!"

"Target: Solar System.. Earth!"
