Age of Evolution

Chapter 602: Chapter 603: The Death Spiral of Two Black Holes!

When Lin Zhen’s main body appeared, Ling Xu was taken aback at first, then flashed a cold smirk. “You’re quite calculative, able to exploit black hole power to break free of the mirrored space. However, Lin Zhen, you’ve miscalculated. Your main body has been stranded in the mirrored space for seven hundred years with no power gains. You’re merely at the Black Hole Peak now. Even if you escape, what can you achieve?”

Lin Zhen chuckled coldly. “That remains to be seen.”

“You stubborn fool, let’s see who will fall into this endless black hole first!”

The Martial Artists who were devoured by the black hole initially made way for the late-stage fighters to figure out its pattern.

The black hole defies the laws of physics. The more one tries to flee, the faster they get devoured. Therefore, the Martial Artists stood still and tried to hold out as long as they could.

Even though this wouldn’t prolong things for long, every person used all their strength to resist before being swallowed.

This newly formed black hole doesn’t possess infinite strength. After the full force resistance of the Martial Artists, its energy began to wane.

This ignited endless hope amongst people. If one could hold out till the end, it might be possible to survive this unavoidable disaster!

*********

A breath of fresh air flooded into his chest and Lin Zhen felt completely at ease.

Seven hundred years had passed!

In a myth on Earth, Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for just five hundred years, yet he, Lin Zhen, had been confined for seven hundred years.

In the end, it was the black hole that had been responsible for his rebirth that had set him free.

However, Lin Zhen immediately felt the intense gravitational pull from the black hole upon his emergence.

Now wasn’t the time for him to celebrate his escape. He had to deal with the massive crisis at hand.

Lin Zhen’s understanding of black holes exceeded others. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the void. Being the last one to appear, if he stayed motionless, he would likely be the last one the black hole attempted to devour.

But just as Lin Zhen appeared, an attack charged through the air!

The Ling Xu World King had made his move!

The instant this man saw Lin Zhen’s main body, he recognized that he couldn’t let Lin Zhen survive and decisively struck!

The attack of a World King Powerhouse was too strong, and Lin Zhen’s main body, being only at the Black Hole Stage, couldn’t possibly withstand it!

Just in the nick of time, Lin Zhen’s cloned body rushed forward and intercepted the hit!

With his powerful World King strength, he was still able to withstand it for the moment.

However, he was in the process of forcibly suppressing Xiao Nuan’s awakening. After this hit, his cloned body gave a muffled grunt. The physical injury was minor in comparison to his inability to suppress Xiao Nuan’s strength!

Xiao Nuan was going to awaken!

The awakening of Xiao Nuan would mean the end for Lin Zhen’s cloned body. Without his body, his consciousness wouldn’t be able to exist independently.

“Hahaha, Lin Zhen! You’re finished! This time it’s your clone, next time it’ll be your true body!”

Ling Xu World King swayed in mid-air; attacking Lin Zhen had sped his movement towards the black hole.

Lin Zhen wasn’t disheartened. Even if his clone died, it wouldn’t be in vain.

At the very least, the sixty thousand Star Energy that his cloned body possessed, had to be reclaimed.

Star Energy Transfer!

The instant his clone’s consciousness was about to dissipate, Lin Zhen decisively used the Star Energy Transfer. Instantly, the sixty thousand Star Energy from the clone was injected into Lin Zhen’s main body!

Once the Star Energy was transferred into his main body, the consciousness of his clone dissipated. The Star Energy lost its way back and permanently remained in Lin Zhen’s main body, becoming part of his own strength.

His main body originally had one hundred and twenty thousand Star Energy, but with the injection of the clone’s power, it quickly rose to one hundred and eighty thousand!

The Ling Xu World King frowned. “You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. But they’re all futile. Lin Zhen, you’re destined to die. After all, your opponent is a World King whom you can’t resist. In the face of absolute strength, all your little tricks are useless!”

With that said, the Ling Xu World King lifted his hand, and the second attack came.

As long as the black hole existed, he dared not take out his weapon. Hence, he could only attack bare-handed. Although the power was much lesser, it should be enough to deal with Lin Zhen.

“Hissss!”

Despite just regaining consciousness, Xiao Nuan rushed to protect Lin Zhen the moment she sensed the danger!

A burst of starlight exploded in the air. Xiao Nuan screamed out in pain. In her severely wounded state, she couldn’t withstand the World King’s attack and began to spin towards the black hole after being hit.

However, Xiao Nuan’s attack provided Lin Zhen with an opportunity, allowing him a chance to counterattack!

Star Energy increased to 180,000. Although it wasn’t comparable to the World King’s power, it was on par with the power of lower-ranked Kings. Lin Zhen immediately gave the Ling Xu World King a full-force punch!

Spatial Slash!

Innumerable spatial rifts whistled out one after another, surging towards Ling Xu!

In ordinary times, such a spatial slash would not affect Ling Xu. He could easily dodge it.

But at that moment, fleeing would mean accelerating into the black hole. Trying to withstand spatial rifts forcefully was not the wisest choice either. With the World King trying to dodge his attacks from left and right, he lost control and began slipping towards the black hole!

Attacking also caused Lin Zhen to move closer to the black hole. However, he couldn’t care about that at the moment and launched consecutive, intensive Spatial Slashes!

They both approached the black hole, one attacking and one dodging!

Before his eyes was an endless vortex of darkness – the place that Martial Artists fear the most.

“Lin Zhen! You’re a damn madman!”

The Ling Xu World King roared, launching an attack barehanded. This time, his target wasn’t Lin Zhen, but the other Martial Artists.

His plan was to use the attack to hurl these Martial Artists into the bottomless depths of the Black Hole. If these people fell before him, he might survive!

The powerhouse of a World King’s strength was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Whether they were in the Star System Stage or the Star Domain Stage, none could withstand his attack. One by one, they screamed as they plummeted into the Black Hole. The burst of Star Energy only slightly delayed their fall before they were devoured by the Black Hole.

However, as each Martial Artist entered, the power of the Black Hole started to weaken.

“There’s hope! There’s hope!”

Seeing a sliver of hope, the Ling Xu World King’s attacks became even more frenzied. The struggling Martial Artists nearby were unfortunate victims, tumbling into the Black Hole, never to return, just like dumplings thrown into a pot.

Lin Zhen’s assault did not stop either. He continued his aggressive onslaught, giving the Ling Xu World King no opportunity to recover.

Dark ripples flickered around him while an Energy Storm loomed. They had begun to enter the Black Hole!

After casting down the last surviving Martial Artist into the abyss, the Ling Xu World King left the rest to fate!

The two spun and plunged straight into the depths of the Black Hole!

The Energy Storm became even more intense, ready to tear their bodies apart in a few seconds.

After launching another attack, Lin Zhen paused. He dared not use up all his Star Energy as conserving some could be crucial at this time.

But the moment he stopped, a figure suddenly flashed behind him!

It was the Ling Xu World King!

His corporeal body was still a few hundred meters in front of Lin Zhen – this was his clone!

The clone instantly dealt a blow to Lin Zhen, who was already struggling. They both fell into the deepest part of the Black Hole, entering a bottomless abyss!

The clone unleased a surge of Star Energy, making a last stand against the Black Hole.

However, after the death of the Ling Xu World King’s clone, he suddenly relaxed.

He felt that the Black Hole’s power had depleted. After swallowing millions of super experts, this Black Hole had exhausted all its energy and was about to vanish!

Sure enough, the dark Death Ripples began to weaken, and his body halted in its freefall.

Between heaven and earth, there was nothing else but him, the distant Heavenly Gate, and the disintegrating Black Hole.

“Ha ha! Ah ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!!!”

The Ling Xu World King let out a peal of laughter: “Great! I’ve finally escaped this disaster. I never deployed this clone but it saved my life at the most crucial moment. Unexpectedly, after surviving this ordeal, my Realm has loosened and I have gained new insights into my power. Maybe another ten years of cultivation and I will be able to ascend to the Original World!”

With his wild laughter, Ling Xu was overjoyed. He had not expected to have such an opportunity. Having passed this stage, longevity was within reach!

Although there were no spectators around, he still couldn’t help yelling and jumping like a child. This was the only way to express his overwhelming emotions.

It was a feeling shared among those facing certain death but who had suddenly discovered the door to eternal life. It was maddening!

He waited under the vanishing Black Hole for it to completely dissipate, and then he would be safe.

*********

Lin Zhen’s body fell into the Black Hole, but he did not die instantly as Ling Xu had imagined.

In Lin Zhen’s mind, this scene had been played out hundreds of thousands of times!

Ever since his rebirth, he knew that such a day would eventually come. His greatest enemy was not someone else, but this Black Hole.

So, for this day, he had prepared for a thousand years!

When the Energy Storm arrived, Lin Zhen immediately deployed his strongest technique, the Black Hole Storm!

He was a Black Hole Beast, and he could also transform into a Black Hole!

A mini Black Hole emerged around Lin Zhen’s body. Although it couldn’t swallow everything like a real Black Hole, its appearance was identical to a real Black Hole!

The only difference was that this Black Hole was rotating in the opposite direction.

With the large Black Hole encasing the small one, the two Black Holes spun in opposite directions. After many years of research, Lin Zhen concluded that this was the only way to survive inside a Black Hole!

At this moment, time and space were twisted at the edge of the intersecting Black Holes.

Rays of light turned into serpentine shapes in the mid-air, and energy began to hit aimlessly.

The Star Energy in his body finally came into use. Facing this Black Hole that had consumed most of its energy, Lin Zhen finally had the capacity to resist fiercely!

Hisss hiss hiss~~!!

Dark ripples flashed, and a Naked Singularity appeared ahead!

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, his face grave.

He knew that now, after a millennium since his rebirth, it was the most crucial moment!
