Chapter 356

And after learning the third layer of the Profound God Art,

Zhao Xing was fully capable of withstanding this illusion!

"Time flow, 650 times."

"Looking at the internal world from the outside, it is as if it is playing in fast-forward."

"But the part of my spiritual power in the internal world feels as if time has stopped flowing entirely."

"The two sensations intertwine in my mind; an ordinary person would likely be unable to withstand this chaotic illusion," Zhao Xing thought.

He could clearly feel the impact of the time rules on himself.

At the same time, space-time rules were also the pillar rules that constituted the internal world.

If any mistakes were made in comprehension, the fragile internal world would likely collapse.

That was why Zhao Xing had not yet ventured into 'space-time rules'.

"Start comprehension, tentatively set for 10 days; once the time is up, the spiritual power in the outside world will immediately issue a warning."

Zhao Xing set a psychological alert line for himself.

Then, the spiritual power in the internal world was fully devoted to comprehending the "Ten Thousand Things Growth Diagram".

While Zhao Xing was comprehending,

in the second stage within the folded space,

the speed of clearing Emperor-grade cities seemed to have been pressed with an acceleration button.

The challenges within the Emperor-grade cities were being cleared one after another.

It seemed that because Zhao Xing had taken the second city,

those geniuses had also become more competitive.

Within the first day of Zhao Xing's seclusion,

the number of cleared cities changed from the original 16 to 18.

Three Emperor-grade cities were occupied by 'Ista', 'Via', and 'Yanhuo'.

According to the results published by the Star Brilliance Alliance,

Ista and Via were geniuses from the Empire's first-tier star systems.

And Yanhuo was a genius from the Fire Source Temple.

On the second day of Zhao Xing's seclusion,

the number of cleared Emperor-grade cities reached 28!

Ten geniuses appeared in one go!

Among them, the Empire occupied 7 quotas, and the Fire Source Temple occupied three.

It is worth mentioning that Tuosen, Kunte, and Duan Ye had each occupied a second city.

So, the number of newly added Empire geniuses was actually only four.

On the fifth day of Zhao Xing's seclusion,

the number of cleared cities reached 42.

Good news came from the Beihe Star System again.

Lin Ze, under Speaker Bi Jin, cleared City No. 73.

He successfully obtained an Emperor-grade treasure!

For a time, the Beihe Star System was once again in the spotlight.

"There were only four people from the Beihe Star System clearing the challenge, and two of them, Lin Ze and Zhao Xing, have obtained quotas?"

"A second-tier star system actually has such dumb luck to produce two geniuses."

"Damn it, there are thousands of second-tier star system forces here this time; did the Beihe Star System cheat?!"

"Dare to say such things? Do you have a death wish? That is supervised by the Primordial Envoys and three Void-rank Princes; are you questioning the authority of the Empire?"

"Lin Ze? It seems he fused with a Purple Diamond Bone Body; I wonder if there is anything else special about him."

Virtual World, Origin Realm Floating Island.

Star Brilliance Alliance's Star Moon City.

This is the gathering place for Star-rank Lords in the Origin Realm and where the Star Brilliance Alliance publishes various news.

At this moment, in a tavern.

"Brother Lin has also taken a city."

"Our Beihe Star System is finally no longer just me bearing the pressure alone."

Zhao Xing was drinking fine wine alone.

The virtual world has many ways to relieve stress, and Zhao Xing chose to drink alone.

Good news came from Speaker Bi Jin, and Zhao Xing felt only joy.

In this way, Lin Ze would also share the attention of some people.

Of course, he wasn't here solely to drink this time.

It was because Lin Ze had invited him here.

After waiting for a while, Lin Ze's figure appeared in the tavern's private room.

"Zhao Xing, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Not at all, I just arrived a moment ago," Zhao Xing looked at Lin Ze with a smile. "Congratulations, Brother Lin."

Lin Ze waved his hand: "I am ashamed; in front of you, what is there to be proud of in my record?"

Back then, when Lin Ze met Zhao Xing on the Fire Seed Continent,

the other party was only at the Extraordinary grade.

When they killed Bill together, Lin Ze's strength was far superior to Zhao Xing's.

But now, a year later, Zhao Xing's strength had caught up to his.

Being able to take the treasures of two Emperor-grade cities was not something that could be done simply by relying on luck.

"I'm looking for you this time because I have something to discuss," Lin Ze said after sitting down, getting straight to the point.

"Please speak," Zhao Xing said; he still remembered that when cooperating with Lin Ze, the other party had yielded treasures worth 1 billion Origin Crystals, giving them all to him.

"I heard you need time-type treasures," Lin Ze said. "And I, the treasures I obtained this time, are a speed-type divine weapon, a defense-type armor, and a ring."

Hearing the word 'ring', Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat.

"Inside the ring, there are 10 Time Origin Crystals," Lin Ze said. "But I lack attack-type weapons."

"And you, Brother Zhao, have Emperor-grade weapons."

"I want to trade with you."

"I have already asked Speaker Bi Jin and Speaker Yun Tianye about this matter, and they both agreed to facilitate this trade; now I am just waiting for your opinion."

Lin Ze looked at Zhao Xing.

He knew that Zhao Xing possessed two attack-type divine weapons.

And their power was not trivial.

If he could trade for one, Lin Ze would have more confidence in his subsequent actions.

"I know that 10 Time Crystals are slightly insufficient to trade for one of your Emperor-grade weapons," Lin Ze said.

"So my proposal is, if I obtain more Time Crystals later, I will compensate you with 3 more."

"If I haven't obtained any by the end of this trial, I will use other means to make up the difference."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and nodded: "That is acceptable."

"There is just one problem: I am currently in seclusion and cannot move, so Brother Lin will have to come to my Crystal Palace; regarding safety..."

"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about that!" Lin Ze grinned. "I have two Emperor-grade weapons on me now—one for speed, one for defense. If three or five ordinary people want to rob me, they won't be able to get close."

"Even if they get close, it will be very difficult to break my defense."

Zhao Xing was slightly surprised.

Lin Ze could actually unleash the power of Emperor-grade weapons?

"Don't overthink it," Lin Ze shook his head. "It's not that I can fully unleash the power of the Emperor-grade weapons; although I am a Martial Dao Lord, I can at most trigger 20% to 30% of their power right now."

"But even that 20% to 30% power is not something ordinary people can kill me with." ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
