Chapter 679

"Shoo!"

The moment the intelligent voice announced it, the red-clad girl Xinhuo's figure shot into the sky to watch this battle.

"Boom!"

Nan Zong, wearing dark green battle armor, erupted with a terrifying aura, and three layers of green patterns appeared on his exposed skin.

They were like living plants, constantly growing, and Lin Qi felt the descent of the Wood Law in the air.

Vigorous vitality was released from his body.

"Come and fight!!"

Nan Zong, with his burly physique, let out a loud shout and, like a wild beast, brandished the silver giant battle blade in his hand and shot out from where he stood.

"Bang!"

The air distorted and vibrated. The moment he charged out, the alloy ground was instantly cracked, and the cracks spread toward the surroundings.

At the same time, the ground seemed as if it had been corroded by a highly toxic substance, and the metal ground melted!

"Hum hum!!"

Lin Qi felt the green blade-gang charging at him head-on; it was like green liquid, containing terrifying matter!

At the same time, terrifying power erupted from Lin Qi's body, and golden sharpness was released from him; the golden light was also like flowing liquid metal!

It circled around the great spear!

"Swish!"

He sprang up from where he stood like a thunder-arrow, and the alloy ground showed cracks like ripples!

A steady stream of power was released from within his body!

The invisible Domain power collided first, and the powers of the green and gold Laws also merged into the Domain.

It was like two giant waves colliding, stirring up layers of ripples!

At the same time, the two figures also began to collide in the center of the field.

Facing the giant blade being slashed, Lin Qi swung the black-gold great spear with a bang, the Jin Di Gangjin flowing at the spear tip.

"Bang!"

Blade and spear collided, sounding like a great bell, and the powers of the two Laws were clashing.

In the violent collision, Lin Qi felt a highly corrosive power rapidly eroding his sharp Gangjin.

It lacked the sharpness of metal, the scorching heat of fire, the continuity of flowing water, or the heaviness of earth!

But it possessed a power that was endless and corroded all things.

His Gangjin felt as if a weapon had come into contact with a concentrated corrosive liquid, and its sharpness was invisibly weakened.

Is this the power of the Wood Law?

What a bizarre power!

Lin Qi was shocked; it was his first time facing an opponent who had comprehended the power of the Wood Law, and it was even harder to deal with than he had imagined!

Even without plant life, he still possessed powerful combat strength!

Xinhuo, watching the battle in the sky, nodded secretly. In her database, it was recorded that in the 1,000 Deep Space Genius Tournaments over the last 100,000 years,

Nan Zong's strength was the strongest!

He reached the Top 79 in the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament.

"Nan Zong successfully entered the Top 3,000 in the Deep Space Genius Tournament and entered a Supreme Force; he is already stronger than the others in the Top 79 and Top 40."

"Lin Qi says he is a Top 10 contestant and defeated a genius from the Wan Hai Society, but defeating Nan Zong will not be that easy."

"Let me see just how strong Lin Qi is now!"

Various thoughts flashed quickly through Xinhuo's mind.

Then she saw the burly Nan Zong, the moment he swung his battle blade for a head-on collision, get sent flying!

The air exploded, the airwaves spread like a halo, and the Domain was completely suppressed.

"Nan Zong has fallen into a disadvantage so quickly?"

Xinhuo widened her eyes, watching the ensuing battle.

……

On the open ground, Lin Qi swung his great spear, mobilizing the Gold Law; it was like golden threads gathering, and the Gangjin flowed.

The "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon" was unleashed, and this time he switched to the second volume, his exertion of force becoming even more exquisite.

The spear tip slid through the air; the "Sharpness Volume" is also called the "Heavenly Gap Volume."

It can cut a gap in heaven and earth; there is nothing it cannot sever!

Under Lin Qi's majestic giant force, as the spear tip tore through the air, golden threads as fine as hair appeared out of thin air.

"Sharpness Volume"—Golden Thread Cut!

"Bang!!"

The moment of collision, the intense cutting power caused Nan Zong's Wood Domain to fluctuate and be constantly cut.

Even the corrosive Gangjin was instantly cut!

At the same time, he was also knocked back in the collision, his body retreating a distance.

Lin Qi felt the force coming from his arm; Nan Zong's Law did not possess powerful lethality, but his own strength was not weak at all.

He could use his physical fitness to forcibly suppress his opponent.

Unfortunately, he had encountered him, and he had become the one being suppressed!

He continued to swing the great spear, the spear tip sliding through the air, tearing it apart.

It was like a golden pen sketching golden threads in the air, gathering into a complex pattern that contained a special charm!

"Clang clang clang!!!"

Lin Qi constantly unleashed the spear techniques from the "Sharpness Volume."

Golden Thread Cut!

Nan Zong was beaten back step by step while swinging his battle blade, but he persisted with great resilience.

Green light appeared on his body; it was the Wood Law at work, giving him extremely strong recovery ability, stamina, and resilience.

Every collision allowed him to recover quickly, and then he would continue the head-on clash!

In Lin Qi's eyes, he was a high-quality punching bag, allowing him to unleash his new spear techniques to his heart's content.

"Bang bang!!"

In head-on clashes, it really is the collision of experts that allows the content described in some secret manuals to be verified, while simultaneously gaining insights!

The two sides clashed head-on for half an hour.

Lin Qi looked at Nan Zong; the opponent's speed had clearly slowed, and his internal organs had suffered varying degrees of damage.

It was only by relying on the top-tier recovery ability of the Wood Law that he had persisted until now.

"It's time to end this!"

Lin Qi felt he had benefited greatly, and there was no point in continuing to fight!

Although Nan Zong's strength was quite good, that was all there was to it, and he was quite a bit behind Bai Esi.

A few months ago, he could have ground him to death.

Now that his strength had greatly increased, wanting to defeat him would only be even easier!

"Boom!"

Nan Zong's whole body erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations, and the Wood Law descended upon his body, making his aura grow wildly like a plant.

The color of the Gangjin released from his whole body constantly became deeper!

"Bang!"

His footsteps exerted force, and the ground formed cracks.

The next instant, he leaped high, the giant battle blade condensing several meters of dark green blade-gang, and it slashed down with a bang like Mount Tai pressing down!

Seeing this, Lin Qi released terrifying power, and the black-gold great spear was infused with golden spear-gang.

The black-gold great spear thrust out violently, the Gold Law condensed at the spear tip, and the aura of sharpness condensed!

"Sharpness Volume"—Star-Pointing Thrust!

"Clang!!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, the air exploded, and the Gangjin clashed head-on, erupting with a deafening sound.

The spear tip pierced through the Domain condensed by the Wood Law, penetrated the Gangjin, shattered the blade, and then continued to thrust out.

"Puff~"

The spear tip pierced through Nan Zong's neck, blood sprayed out, and intense vitality surged out, recovering the damaged organs!

But in the sharp killing intent, the loss of vitality could not be stopped.

Lin Qi rotated the spear tip, thoroughly strangling the vitality!

The next instant, Nan Zong died completely and turned into nothingness, dissipating.

【Battle ended!】

【Congratulations on successfully clearing the Star Fire Tower Fifth Floor!】

……

"Hum!"

The moment the intelligent voice announced it, Xinhuo, in the form of a red-clad girl, couldn't wait to appear before Lin Qi again.

She was shocked inwardly, and her expression was complex as she said:

"You really do possess Top 10 strength; I believe you defeated the Wan Hai Society's strongest genius to advance."

"I didn't expect you to defeat Nan Zong so easily!"

"You suppressed him the whole time!"

"The gap between him and you is too large; there was not a shred of hope for him to win!"

Lin Qi said regretfully: "It's a pity he was only simulated by intelligence, not a real existence; his strength was not as powerful as the real person at all!"

Xinhuo smiled: "Even if Nan Zong himself came, he would not be your match!"

"Your physical fitness and spear techniques are far stronger than his!"

"And I feel your 'World-Extinguishing Spear Canon' is even more exquisite than the one I have here; it hasn't been perfected, has it?"

Lin Qi nodded: "That's right; after being perfected, the lethality of the 'World-Extinguishing Spear Canon' has also increased."

After hearing this, Xinhuo sighed:

"If only you were a person of our Star Fire Civilization; we would definitely use the best cultivation resources to help you grow rapidly."

"But with your talent, entering a Supreme Force, you are also a top-tier genius!"

"In the future, you might really have the ability to resurrect our Star Fire Civilization!"

Lin Qi smiled: "I promised you; I will definitely do it in the future!"

"It's just that the time required might be very long!"

A Sky-Gazing Realm martial artist has a 5,000-year lifespan, and a Universe Second Realm has a 15,000-year lifespan!

For the Universe Third, Fourth, and even Fifth Realms, the lifespan will only get longer and longer.

Wanting to break through requires no short amount of time!

Xinhuo continued:

"Lin Qi, congratulations on clearing the Star Fire Tower five-floor trial; you are also the first genius in the Sky-Gazing Realm to clear the fifth floor after the Star Fire Tower was built."

"Even the Red Emperor never managed to do it."

"Now, you can choose 5 treasures from our Star Fire Civilization's treasury!"

As Xinhuo spoke, she projected a large red screen, which displayed a massive amount of inheritances, heavenly treasures, potions..."

Many of the potions and heavenly treasures among them were even specially marked with prices!

Lin Qi looked around; there were all kinds of potions, weapons, and heavenly treasures.

But the most valuable ones were still the Bloodline Evolution Potions!

So he said:

"Give me five vials of Bloodline Evolution Potion."

Xinhuo smiled: "You really know how to choose, picking the most expensive ones!"

"Now that you've taken another 5 vials of Bloodline Evolution Potion, there won't be many left!"

"But I also think you chose correctly; you need to increase your strength as much as possible right now!" "In the third round, the higher your ranking, the more benefits you will have!"

"Blue Star is too weak; the Deep Space Genius Tournament is a rare opportunity to make money!"

Lin Qi nodded in agreement: "To be honest, without the relics left behind by your Star Fire Civilization, my growth speed could not have been this fast!"

After hearing this, Xinhuo tilted her head and said confidently: "That is only natural!"

Then she continued:

"Wait a moment; the Bloodline Evolution Potions will be delivered very soon!"

……

"Hum!"

A few minutes later, the door to Virtual Room 06 was opened, and a red intelligent robot walked out, carrying a metal briefcase in its hand!

Lin Qi took the metal briefcase and opened it to see 5 vials of Bloodline Evolution Potion embedded inside, worth 25 million Deep Space Coins!

Enough for him to buy a massive amount of Soul Marrow!

After Lin Qi finished verifying, he put everything into his space bracelet.

Xinhuo spoke at this time:

"How could your Blue Star civilization have birthed so many geniuses?!"

"It's truly incredible!"

"Lin Qi, just a moment ago, the brother and sister Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin, who came with you, both successfully cleared the Star Fire Tower fourth floor!"

"Although neither of them defeated Nan Zong, they both displayed powerful strength!"

"Both are Star-System-level geniuses; Jiang Miaoyin did not comprehend the Law and was defeated quickly!"

"But Jiang Tao actually fought against Nan Zong for a full twenty-plus minutes before being defeated!"

"It's too astonishing!"

"Your Blue Star is too strange; even our Star Fire Civilization didn't have so many top-tier geniuses."

As Xinhuo spoke, she felt completely bewildered and unable to understand!

After hearing this, Lin Qi smiled and explained: "Because our Blue Star civilization has the potential of a High-Level Civilization."

The intelligent robot controlled by Xinhuo turned and left. She projected herself again and warned with a serious expression:

"Lin Qi, a genius like you, the more famous you are now, the more dangerous it is!"

"Once you leave Blue Star, anything could happen!"

"Even if you join a Supreme Force, there is no 100% guarantee of safety!"

"You must have a clear understanding of your own safety!"

Lin Qi also said with a serious expression: "I understand!"

Then he spoke again:

"Xinhuo, I'm leaving!"

After hearing this, Xinhuo's expression also became quite complex as she said:

"Leaving this time, I don't know when we will meet again!"

Lin Qi suddenly invited her:

"When the resources in the treasury are almost exhausted, would you like to go to my home?"

Xinhuo whispered: "We'll talk about it then!"

Lin Qi nodded: "Until we meet again, Xinhuo!"

After saying this, he opened the virtual room door and turned to leave!

Xinhuo watched Lin Qi's back, feeling expectant; perhaps the next time they met, he would have become a big shot!

……

Outside the virtual room, Lin Qi slowly arrived at the entrance. The door opened, and he slowly walked out!

Standing at the entrance, he waited quietly.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

A moment later, the alloy cabin door opened, and familiar voices came. Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin walked out from within, their smiles impossible to suppress!

"I have already heard from Xinhuo; you both performed quite well!"

Jiang Miaoyin smiled:

"I lost to Nan Zong; he was too strong!"

Jiang Tao also nodded: "The stages designed by this guy Xinhuo have problems!"

"The difficulty gap between the Star Fire Tower fourth and fifth floors is too large."

"It would be fine for an ordinary Star-System-level genius, but the Nan Zong that came out was actually an existence capable of entering the Top 79 and joining a Supreme Force."

"It's a pity that I hadn't properly practiced the new secret manual for the Law power I just comprehended, and hadn't thoroughly converted it into combat strength!"

"Otherwise, I could have defeated him too!"

"I lost out on 5 million Deep Space Coins!"

Lin Qi smiled: "It's not bad to be able to get the rewards; the harvest this time is huge!"

"Twenty million Deep Space Coins in value!"

"Enough for the next three months of cultivation!"

Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin both nodded.

"Jin Di!"

Not far away, the Beijiang Sword King appeared, and he said enthusiastically:

"Congratulations on obtaining the rewards; let's have a meal together!"

"Many of our staff members here want to see you and take a group photo!"

Lin Qi smiled: "No problem!"

……

Several hours later, above the headquarters of the Blue Star Cangqiong Martial Arts Mansion, two Falcon-class fighter jets stopped in the sky.

As the cabin doors opened, three figures flew out from within, landed on the ground, and walked toward the mansion.

"So many aliens!"

The three were precisely Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin.

After they entered the mansion, Jiang Tao looked at the people in the lobby and let out a sigh.

Lin Qi looked around; indeed, compared to a few months ago, there were many more aliens, all people from different civilizations.

Some were tall, some were short, and their skin colors were completely different.

And in the process of communicating, some aliens spoke pure Xia language right from the start.

"The world outside has changed so much!"

"Every time I come out of seclusion, it feels like several years have passed; it's changing with each passing day!"

Jiang Miaoyin also sighed.

In the process of chatting, the three also entered the upper echelons.

A moment later, in the spacious Mansion Master's office.

The four sat on the sofa, with the burly Director Yi Ming standing to the side.

The Red Emperor, wearing a red robe, took a sip of hot tea and looked at Lin Qi and the other two before him, smiling:

"It's a good thing you contacted me in advance yesterday, otherwise I would be in the middle of cultivation right now."

"But you really did bring back quite a few good things!"

"I need three vials of Bloodline Evolution Potion; as for the others, I can purchase them for the God of War, the Overlord, and the others first!"

"They also have descendants and have a need for Bloodline Evolution Potions!"

"Lin Qi, you sold 5 vials of Bloodline Evolution Potion, totaling 25 million Deep Space Coins!"

"Jiang Tao, you have one vial of bloodline potion, totaling 5 million Deep Space Coins!"

"And Jiang Miaoyin, you also only have one vial of bloodline potion, totaling 5 million Deep Space Coins!"

"The money has already been transferred to you!"

Lin Qi looked at the two, and Jiang Tao chuckled:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, I exchanged for several potions that can temporarily increase comprehension, which has huge benefits for comprehending the Law."

Jiang Miaoyin also echoed: "Me too!"

Lin Qi nodded to show his understanding; they had both condensed 8 Source Veins, and next they could only think of ways to improve their martial arts skills.

These few days, they would need to rely on potions that temporarily increase comprehension!

"Jin Di, what do you need to buy next? I can go get it now."

At this time, Director Yi Ming to the side asked.

Lin Qi took out his phone and placed an order directly for 60% purity Soul Marrow.

He now had over 25 million, enough to buy 50 vials, but he couldn't buy them all.

So he chose to order 40 bottles.

Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin to the side also placed their orders successfully.

Ten-plus minutes later, Director Yi Ming returned, took three metal boxes from his space bracelet, and handed them to the three.

After counting them and confirming there were no problems, this transaction was considered complete.

Lin Qi and the other two also began their return journey.

……

"Goodbye, Lin Lin Qi Ge, see you in three months!"

Half an hour later.

Tianhai City, Yujing Haoting residential area.

After Lin Qi parted ways with Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin, he returned to his home and went straight inside.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he looked at the metal box in his hand, which contained over 50 vials of 60% purity Soul Marrow.

Enough!

He wouldn't have to worry about his cultivation for the next three months!

He took out a vial of Soul Marrow, opened it, and poured the black liquid inside into his mouth.

He felt a burst of icy cold aura surge into his brain.

"Beep!"

He opened his virtual bracelet and logged into the Universe Virtual Network.

For the time to come, he only needed to cultivate three things: spiritual power, spear techniques, and body techniques.
