Chapter 551

King Shanhe stood up, looked at the ink painting on the wall, and spoke:

"After we came into contact with the No. 9 ruins, we learned about the myriad races of the universe and the affairs of the human race from the Xinghuo Civilization."

"But at that time, our Blue Star civilization was too weak; making contact rashly was too dangerous, and we didn't dare to gamble."

"Although there are laws of the universe, no one dares to gamble; one careless move and we would be swallowed clean by other civilizations."

"So we have never made contact with the universe, just silently accumulating strength."

"If we continue to develop for a few hundred more years, our Blue Star civilization will have more second realm martial artists of the universe, and perhaps we can try to make contact."

"But now that there is the Zerg crisis, we have to make contact with the universe ahead of schedule."

Lin Qi nodded; this was indeed the only way.

The other world has the ruins of the Star Fire Civilization, as well as a continuous stream of disaster beasts, source energy, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

As long as they digest the entire other world, the martial path strength of their Blue Star civilization will not be considered weak among Primary Civilizations.

Making contact with the universe then will also give them more confidence.

Lin Qi sighed inwardly; their Blue Star is very peaceful on the surface right now.

But it cannot withstand the wind and waves; once the Zerg arrive, the entire Blue Star civilization faces the risk of being destroyed.

They can only try to make contact with the universe, accelerate development, and possess stronger strength.

And even borrow the power of the human race in the universe to protect the entire civilization.

During this time, he chatted a lot with Xinghuo and knew that the laws of the entire human race on the surface were very perfect.

They would protect every civilization as much as possible.

"Whoosh whoosh"

The cabin door opened, and gusts of cold wind and snowflakes blew into the cabin.

King Shanhe said with a resolute expression:

"The Red Emperor has already entered the universe's virtual network and started to make contact with other civilizations in the universe."

"And we also need to become more powerful!"

"Lin Qi, you are the top genius of our Xia Guo; hurry up and become strong!"

"Hum hum!!"

After speaking, he floated up, and a silver great spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He rushed out and descended into the battlefield.

"Boom!!"

After hearing this, Lin Qi's expression also became determined.

He indeed needed to become stronger; he had gradually become a "tall person" of Blue Star.

If the sky falls, he needs to hold it up!

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

"Hum!"

A black-gold great spear appeared out of thin air in his hand, looking at the space gate opened in the distance.

It was snowing heavily in the sky, and countless disaster beasts rushed out from the space gate.

He looked at the ground, two hundred meters high in the sky!

Then he jumped down suddenly!

"Bang!!"

He swung the great spear, condensed thirty spear Gangjins, and shot them at the disaster beasts!

When facing human powerhouses of the same level, one needs to compress Gangjin to improve penetration and destructive power.

But when facing disaster beasts, it is not needed.

"Bang!"

"Puff!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the ground shook, splashing large patches of snow and gravel, along with the roars of disaster beasts.

Under Lin Qi's feet, a Level Five disaster beast, the Rending Claw Ape, had its body embedded in the deep ground, its bones shattered.

Lin Qi gave it another spear, completely ending its life.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Lin Qi swung the great spear, and the terrifying World-Ending Domain was released from his body.

The "World-Ending Spear Canon" was unleashed!

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, he turned into black lightning and rushed out, with Gangjin shooting out continuously.

The Jin Di Gangjin condensed on the spear body, cutting through the long sky like strands of golden silk.

"Puff puff!!"

One disaster beast after another had their necks pierced by the great spear in an instant; their tough skin was as thin as paper under his spear, and a single stab pierced through the muscles.

Blood spurted wildly, and their massive bodies fell to the ground with a crash.

The efficiency of hunting was even higher!

Lin Qi raised the corners of his mouth; after continuously competing with the top experts of the Star Fire Tower, his combat power had improved significantly without him realizing it.

His reactions were faster, his movements were more agile and quicker, and the penetration of his spear technique was stronger!

He could pierce through the defenses of disaster beasts more easily!

He stared at the space gate; the low-level disaster beasts were too weak; he needed to find stronger disaster beasts!

Soon he discovered Level Seven disaster beasts, and even Level Eight disaster beasts.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, his body disappeared.

"It's Lin Qi; why did he suddenly return to the Black Dragon Base?"

A martial artist said, and the others in the squad also showed expressions of confusion.

In a corner, covered by white snow.

"Shoo shoo shoo!!"

In the endless snowflakes, ten silver flying knives danced in the air like streamers, shuttling through the air.

They made sonic boom sounds, instantly piercing through the bodies of several Iron-Spine Battle Bears.

Liu Yuanzhang, wearing silver armor and having large earlobes, controlled the flying knives, killing disaster beasts one by one.

He frowned: "As the Spring Festival approaches, many martial artists have chosen to return home for the holidays."

"The number of martial artists has decreased, and our pressure has become greater."

"The only benefit is that for every disaster beast killed, the merit points increase by 10%."

"This has encouraged many low-level martial artists to stay behind."

"Roar~"

"Boom!"

The next moment, the ground shook, snow splashed wildly, and a giant bird that blocked the sky flapped its giant wings.

That was a giant bird with a hot body and lava patterns.

Level Eight disaster beast—Lava Sparrow!

It exuded a terrifying high temperature all over its body, and layers of heat waves rushed toward them.

The snow was instantly melted before it could get close.

Seeing this, Liu Yuanzhang controlled the flying knives to shoot out with familiar ease, shooting at three times the speed of sound.

They shot onto the Lava Sparrow's body.

"Clang clang!!"

Facing the attack of the flying knives, several wounds were cut on the Lava Sparrow's body, but they could not pierce through.

Liu Yuanzhang frowned; although he was an Eighth Realm martial artist, he was at the very bottom.

It was very difficult to kill a Level Eight disaster beast alone.

"Roar~"

At the same time, a massive figure suddenly sprang out, and the terrifying aura made Liu Yuanzhang tremble all over.

Turning his head to look, it was a giant tiger with golden fur, a massive body, and bulging muscles on its four limbs.

Level Eight disaster beast—Jin Gang Tiger!

"Damn it!"

The giant tiger claw slapped down, blocking the sky; its speed broke the sound barrier, its explosive power was amazing, and it kicked up a wild wind.

Liu Yuanzhang had a premonition that if this claw slapped down, he would be severely injured.

"Looking for death!"

"Boom!!"

In the distance, the sound of an arc breaking through the wind rang out, and a golden silk thread appeared in Liu Yuanzhang's line of sight.

He saw a golden spear cut through the air!

It stabbed out a golden silk thread, piercing through the tiger claw in an instant!

That silk thread seemed to represent extreme sharpness and penetration.

"Roar~"

Blood spurted wildly, and hot blood was sprinkled into the air.

In an instant, Liu Yuanzhang felt that if it had stabbed him, he wouldn't have been able to dodge it at all.

"Roar~"

The Jin Gang Tiger let out a roar; its forelimb was pierced, forming a bloody hole!

The next moment, a golden light cut through the sky again, piercing through its skin, and blood sprayed wildly.

"Puff puff puff~~"

Countless golden lights sprinkled past.

Six-hit Golden Light Combo!

Lin Qi stabbed out the great spear instantly, and the Jin Gang Tiger couldn't react at all.

Six bloody holes were continuously stabbed into its neck; the golden silk thread pierced straight through its neck, and countless silk threads were also destroying other tissues.

"Bang!!"

The massive body of the Jin Gang Tiger fell to the ground with a crash, splashing a large amount of blood!

The Jin Gang Tiger is dead!

Lin Qi landed on the head of the Jin Gang Tiger and smiled to greet him:

"Liu Yuanzhang, long time no see!"

Liu Yuanzhang stared wide-eyed at Lin Qi in front of him.

He killed the Level Eight disaster beast, the Jin Gang Tiger, this easily?

This was no ordinary Level Eight disaster beast, but a Jin Gang Tiger, which was also the top existence among Level Eight disaster beasts.

Only powerful Eighth Realm martial artists could easily kill it alone.

But Lin Qi, as he was now, could already do it!

The other party's spear technique now was too terrifying; if it were him, he felt he wouldn't be able to take a single move.

Could it be that he had already broken through to the Eighth Realm?

He smiled and said: "Lin Qi, it has indeed been a long time since we last met?"

"Have you broken through to the Eighth Realm?"

Lin Qi shook his head: "No, still Seventh Realm!"

"Hiss~"

Liu Yuanzhang gasped; still Seventh Realm, this is too strong, right?

"Careful!"

Lin Qi suddenly reminded him loudly; in the sky, a massive figure that blocked the sky shrouded the two of them.

The wild wind was like a blade, ravaging their skin.

Waves of heat rushed toward them!

"Screech~"

It was the Level Eight disaster beast, the Lava Sparrow; in an instant, Liu Yuanzhang found that Lin Qi's figure had disappeared, turning into an afterimage.

Too fast!

He could only rely on his powerful psychic perception to sense Lin Qi's movements.

He could only see the golden domain expanding and shrouding the Lava Sparrow; golden light permeated the air, like sharp blades constantly cutting.

"Puff puff puff~~"

"Bang"

Finally, accompanied by a loud noise, the Lava Sparrow's body fell to the ground with a crash and fell into death.

Mu Hong, in black armor, who had just rushed over, also saw this scene while holding a spear in one hand, and he also fell into silence.

"Teacher, long time no see!"

Lin Qi stepped on the corpse of the Lava Sparrow and greeted him.

50 days later, Lin Qi had become even more powerful!

Mu Hong did not doubt at all that with Lin Qi's strength, he could easily kill him.

Thinking of this, Mu Hong smiled somewhat and said:

"Lin Qi, you have become even more powerful."

Lin Qi also smiled, gripped the spear in his hand, and he felt it too.

Having cultivated the "World-Ending Spear Canon," his combat power had improved significantly.

Now he could easily hunt Level Eight disaster beasts.

However, he felt it was normal; once, Level Eight disaster beasts were invincible creatures to him.

It was also very difficult for martial artists of the same realm to hunt them.

But now he knew that disaster beasts were just cannon fodder made by the monster race.

No matter how high the level, it was just so-so; if the opponent were a monster of the same realm, it might be able to pose a little threat to him.

Mu Hong looked at the countless disaster beasts around and said:

"Now is not the time for reminiscing; let's talk after the disaster beast tide ends!"

Lin Qi nodded and continued to kill other disaster beasts.

Waving the great spear, he was like black lightning, surrounded by golden silk threads; no disaster beast could withstand a single spear of his.

Once the Golden Light Combo was unleashed, disaster beasts would fall to the ground with a crash, and blood would flow on the white snow.

"Roar!!"

"Puff~"

The entire battle lasted until night before it ended.

Black Dragon Base, Ten Thousand Beasts Restaurant, in the most luxurious private room.

At this time, Senior Shen Heng, Liu Yuanzhang, Xu Qing, Mu Hong, Pei Yiqing, King Shanhe, the Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang, and several other acquaintances were sitting in the private room.

The table was full of food, all cooked from the flesh and blood of Level Nine disaster beasts.

Liu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine and sighed:

"Lin Qi, your strength improved too exaggeratedly after going to the No. 9 ruins."

"I even thought you had broken through to the Eighth Realm."

The Beijiang Beijiang Jianwang said:

"In the No. 9 ruins, if you stay for 50 days, your actual combat ability will be greatly improved."

Lin Qi's mouth hadn't stopped; in the No. 9 ruins, he hadn't eaten for 50 consecutive days, making him miss the food immensely.

He said: "The reason my combat power was able to improve is mainly due to the spear technique secret manual."

Xu Qin also showed an envious look: "It seems I will also try to enter the No. 9 ruins in a few months."

She was an SSS-grade genius and was already at 5 blood exchanges; after 6 blood exchanges, she could try to enter the No. 9 ruins.

Then everyone discussed it again and decided to return home in the next few days to finish the Spring Festival before coming back.

And Senior Shen Heng looked at Lin Qi with a complex expression.

The other party was the focus of everyone; everyone knew that Lin Qi's future was to be a top powerhouse of the Xia Guo.

They were both SSS-grade geniuses, but the gap between them was as wide as a chasm, completely incomparable.

Perhaps in the future, being an SSS-grade genius would just be the threshold to see Lin Qi.

An hour later, Lin Qi returned to his room 206.

In the martial arts room, he took off his armor, changed into a martial arts suit, sat cross-legged, and opened the War Home.

【Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】

【Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange】

【Merit Points: 9.599 million】

【Base Ranking: 1】

【Overall Ranking: 3→1】

Lin Qi looked at his merit points and smiled; initially, to exchange for the blood of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, he had spent a full 3 million merit points.

He still had nearly 4 million merit points left, and today he hunted disaster beasts again, earning an astonishing 5.6 million merit points.

He had already earned several times more than many Eighth Realm martial artists.

"If I keep hunting like this, I won't be far from buying a Peregrine fighter jet."

Lin Qi thought to himself; once he breaks through to the Eighth Realm, his hunting efficiency will be even higher.

"It's a pity that I have to go back to Tianhai City tomorrow."

"I'll buy a batch of resources to take back."

Lin Qi thought to himself.

He opened the shopping module and searched for psychic power cultivation resources.

Now that he had more merit points, he could buy better psychic power potions.

The top-grade soul water might already be obsolete, after all, it was only 50,000 merit points per tube.

Soon the screen in front of him refreshed, and a potion appeared.

【Item: Soul Marrow (10% purity)】

【Effect: A potion made from precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures and Level Nine disaster beast organs, which can greatly improve psychic power; the higher the purity, the stronger the effect.】

【Merit Points: 500,000/tube】

Soul Marrow is already considered the strongest potion for improving psychic power on their Blue Star.

500,000 merit points per bottle.

The merit points are 10 times that of top-grade soul water!

Lin Qi exhaled; hunting one Jin Gang Tiger was only 900,000 merit points.

It was almost equivalent to the merit points of a Level Eight disaster beast.

It must be said that top-tier cultivation resources really require a lot of merit points.

And 10% purity is also a unit of measurement; he took another look at the 20% purity Soul Marrow, and the price doubled, requiring 1 million merit points.

Lin Qi didn't need to use 20% purity right now; 10% was enough.

So he didn't hesitate and ordered 10 bottles directly.

Then he began to order Level Nine disaster beast flesh, a full 5,000 kilograms.

【Beep!】

【Verification passed, 5.5 million merit points paid!】

Lin Qi put down his phone; next, he could wait for the items to be delivered to his door tomorrow.

He now had a space bracelet, which was enough to hold this disaster beast flesh.

And the space in the space bracelet is frozen; the freshness preservation effect is much stronger than a cold storage, so there is no need to worry about spoilage, and it can be carried with him.

Then he sat cross-legged and thought of the Soul Marrow he had bought.

For martial artists, psychic power is quite important; the improvement of each realm requires the assistance of psychic power.

When breaking through to the Eighth Realm, even more powerful psychic power is needed.

Then he looked at the corner, where the 8 barrels of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood were placed.

"Hum hum!!"

He put 7 barrels back into the space bracelet, leaving one barrel behind.

For him, the space bracelet is the safest; it's never safe to leave it in the martial arts room.

He opened a barrel, picked up a straw, and began to absorb it.

"Gulp~"

Having not drunk it for a long time, it was still disgusting; Lin Qi frowned and drank it in one gulp.

A ton of it entered his stomach, and immediately it began to heat up; his body felt like it was burning, and his internal organs felt like they were being scorched in a raging fire.

He sat cross-legged and operated the blood-exchanging chapter of the "Jin Di Secret Canon," beginning to absorb the essence in the blood.

"Hiss"

The intense pain made Lin Qi gasp continuously; his body turned red, and his face was flushed.

His pores were like faucets, continuously sweating; sweat beads slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

The temperature of the entire martial arts room rose rapidly.

At the same time, his body absorbed the blood essence and began to undergo metamorphosis; his body continuously began to become stronger.

"Thump thump!!"

His heart accelerated, pumping blood, and his Gangjin was mobilized.

It washed away the toxins hidden in the blood in his body; they were affecting the metamorphosis of his body.

Body cells need to live in a pure and unblemished body.

Lin Qi endured the pain and felt the metamorphosis of his body.

What he needed to do next was to let himself break through to the Eighth Realm.

And awaken a third special ability.

At that time, he might be able to fight a Level Nine disaster beast.

Two hours later.

The martial arts room was steaming with heat, and gusts of cold wind blew away the white mist.

Lin Qi, sitting cross-legged, saw his flushed skin begin to return to its normal color.

The tearing pain began to dissipate, and only a continuous stream of power surged from within his body.

"Boom!!"

His blood and energy flowed thick like mercury; the powerful physical strength brought a terrifying sense of oppression, and an invisible aura also spread out.

【You consumed a ton of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood, your body underwent metamorphosis, your physical fitness improved significantly, Blood and Energy Value +100】

【Blood and Energy Value: 9650→9750】

Lin Qi stood up slowly, feeling the improvement of his body, and exhaled.

This feeling was too strong.

He was now only 250 Blood and Energy Value away from the ninth blood exchange.

The remaining 7 barrels of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood were enough!

"The only drawback is that it causes some damage to the internal organs; I need to rest for a day or two before I can continue to consume it."

Lin Qi felt the damage to his internal organs; the effect of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood was overbearing.

The internal organ quality of other geniuses was not as high as his, so it was impossible for them to consume it like this.

Then he took out the black-gold great spear from the space bracelet and began to cultivate the "World-Ending Spear Canon."

"Shoo shoo!!"

On the sharp spear tip, Gangjin was highly compressed, continuously increasing in density.

Finally, it condensed like a needle and thread, maximizing the penetration of the metal attribute.

At the same time, he used an exquisite way of exerting force to mobilize his cells and Gangjin to achieve a higher combo count.

"The Six-hit Golden Light Combo is my strongest move at the moment!"

"But it is not my limit; as long as I reach a thirty-six-hit combo, I can master the killer move of the 'Golden Light Volume'—'Instant Shadow Thousand Rays'!"

"That is the ultimate in speed!"

Lin Qi continued to stab the long spear, unleashing the Six-hit Golden Light Combo.

Feeling the force of the new spear technique, the power of the World-Ending Domain was also expanding toward the surroundings without him realizing it, shrouding the entire martial arts room.

Devoting himself to cultivation, Lin Qi could also feel his own progress.
