Age of Evolution

Chapter 617: Chapter 619: The Last Moment! (Part 3)

Lin Zhen climbed over the mountains, and when he passed through the fifth layer, he found that Mu Huaiyu had already entered the seventh layer.

“He’s running really fast. I didn’t encounter the Galaxy Beast in the fifth layer, so it must be in the sixth layer. I didn’t expect this guy to actually get through.”

“He has the surname Mu, I wonder if he has any connection with the Wood King, there might be something fishy here!”

Having been hunted from the first layer, Lin Zhen had become suspicious of this test. Being privately organized, it was certainly not that fair.

However, Lin Zhen was still full of confidence in himself. He had already entered the top 50,000, and there weren’t many people ahead of him.

The sixth layer had a desert terrain and it seemed that there were no monsters to block the way, which was even more advantageous for running.

Lin Zhen increased his speed again, moving forward non-stop.

After running for about three minutes, the people ahead seemed to be somewhat crowded.

Looking far ahead, there was a group of people standing there, checking out everyone who passed by, but only for a short while, not holding anyone back, not knowing what they were doing.

Lin Zhen quickly caught up and was immediately stopped.

“Get out of the way!” Lin Zhen didn’t want any delays.

“What do you mean, get out of the way? You, little… Hmm!”

“You’re Lin Zhen!”

This martial artist was stunned for a moment, then shouted out loud.

The other martial artists who had been blocking people immediately stopped and all ran towards Lin Zhen.

Seeing the situation, Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate and raised his spear, immediately killing the martial artist on the spot!

Killing one was killing, killing a hundred was killing too. Since he had taken action, Lin Zhen showed no mercy.

The long spear whirled crazily, and a series of spear shadows accompanied by blood shot up into the sky!

These Star System Stage martial artists were very strong, each with over 100,000 Star Power, and had a good sense of advance and retreat in battle, so Lin Zhen was not particularly relaxed when fighting.

However, no matter what, the gap in strength between them was still huge. Lin Zhen managed to kill thirty or forty people when he finally found the opportunity to use the Black Hole Storm again!

This move was a group attack, with a large range and power. Hundreds of people were devoured instantly!

The remaining few who slipped through the net were no longer a threat. Lin Zhen continued to hunt down dozens more before they scattered like birds and beasts, no longer daring to confront him face-to-face.

Lin Zhen had no time to chase them one by one, and in this short period of time, his ranking had already dropped to over 60,000.

Accelerating once again, no one dared to block Lin Zhen’s way now.

After rushing through the sixth layer, Lin Zhen’s ranking reached over 40,000, while Mu Huaiyu had reached the eighth layer.

The seventh layer had a volcanic terrain.

Lin Zhen was not afraid of the flames, but the lava rivers were hard to freeze. He simply took out his Wind Thunder Wings and flew close to the ground.

Flying was prohibited above two meters, but Lin Zhen flew one meter above the ground, making the lava unable to cause him any harm.

This was the fastest part of Lin Zhen’s journey, and he surpassed the so-called “second group” and left behind the stray martial artists.

After crossing the seventh layer, Lin Zhen had already ranked over 3,000!

When Lin Zhen entered the eighth layer, he found that Mu Huaiyu hadn’t run out of the eighth layer yet.

“Hehe! Finally caught up with you, see you in the ninth layer!”

At this time, the advantages of Lin Zhen’s all-elemental energy cultivation were revealed. The fierce cold wind around him couldn’t affect him at all, and his speed didn’t slow down in the slightest.

There were no Galaxy Beasts in the eighth layer either. Halfway through, Mu Huaiyu had already reached the ninth layer.

Lin Zhen continued to surpass one competitor after another, unaffected.

The martial artists could only see a streak of light and shadow, disappearing in the cold wind in the blink of an eye, while they struggled through the cold wind.

After rushing out of the eighth layer, Lin Zhen’s rank was over 900!

“Only less than a thousand people are still ahead of me, and this ninth layer is actually a straight track. Let’s see whose speed is faster!”

The ninth layer was like a huge sports field, with a straight track from start to finish. Flying was completely prohibited here, and the martial artists were putting all their effort into running as fast as they could.

Lin Zhen accelerated again, surpassing one martial artist after another from back to front.

When he reached the halfway point, he was already within the top 700.

Surpassing another martial artist who was almost foaming at the mouth, Lin Zhen felt that this might be the last stray martial artist, and the people ahead must be together.

“Chase! No one has reached the finish line yet, you can’t run far.”

A series of afterimages flashed by, and Lin Zhen’s speed soared to the limit.

After running another thousand kilometers, Lin Zhen finally saw the crowd ahead.

It was a neat and orderly group of martial artists, more than 600 of them, standing on the track as if they were ready to intercept.

“Here we go again, they must be connected.”

At this moment, Lin Zhen could confirm that Mu Huaiyu was definitely an important person of the Mu family, and all these people were covering for him.

Lin Zhen was currently ranked 650, and during his running, he had Chris scan how many people were in the opponent’s group.

Chris’s scan revealed there were a total of 648 people!

That is to say, apart from these people, there was only one person left ahead.

Seeing the neatly arranged opponents, Lin Zhen immediately unleashed the Devouring Storm of the Black Hole Beast!

The opponents didn’t expect Lin Zhen to be so decisive. The Black Hole Storm was terrifying. Although the distance was a bit far, the attack still devoured more than 600 people from the opposing side!

There were only a dozen or so fish that slipped through the net!

Lin Zhen’s ranking instantly soared from 650 to 15!

To Lin Zhen, the remaining dozen or so people were just like chickens and dogs, not worth a single blow, and he was planning to fly past them directly.

But to his surprise, as Lin Zhen tried to pass by, these people suddenly launched attacks from different angles!

It was then that Lin Zhen noticed that each of these people actually had a Star Power of over 300,000!

That meant all of them could easily pass through the Heavenly Gate if taken to the New World!

Lin Zhen dared not be careless and began fighting with his long spear!

It was already difficult to achieve success with a single spear strike, and the battle against more than a dozen people became a chaotic mess. They were fearless in the virtual world, even if they died, they would still leave a small wound on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen spent a full three minutes before he managed to clean up most of the people.

In front of him, there was only one iron-faced man left, extremely powerful, with a Star Power of over 500,000. Even Lin Zhen was injured by this man’s attack.

Lin Zhen’s ranking was now third, one step forward, and he would be second.

The iron-faced man looked at Lin Zhen coldly and laughed: “Lin Zhen, why are you trying so hard? You just need to wait one more minute before heading off, and I’ll give you the second place. After all, the first place is already my family’s Crown Prince.”

“Since he hasn’t gotten the first place yet, I won’t give up. You can die now!”

Lin Zhen had no time to waste with him. What was 500,000 Star Power? He had always challenged higher levels and would never fear a Martial Artist at the same level with less Star Power.

The two men fought like lightning, with their figures overlapping each other. Lin Zhen received another wound on his abdomen.

But Lin Zhen’s Back Horse Spear had pierced through the man’s heart, and its energy burst, completely destroying his heart.

“It’s useless… The Crown Prince is almost at the finish line now…!”

Lin Zhen pulled out his spear and continued to run. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would give it 100% effort.

After another three minutes, the finish line was finally in sight.

Lin Zhen saw an elderly man in a white robe standing near the final passageway, smiling as he seemed to welcome the approaching Martial Artists.

A young man in white was running out of breath, stumbling forward.

He was very close to the finish line, less than a kilometer away.

Lin Zhen also put all his strength into it, just in case the man stumbled at the last moment. He still had a chance.

The white-clothed young man’s speed was slow, and he occasionally looked back at Lin Zhen.

But he didn’t stumble as Lin Zhen had hoped. He kept trying and persevering.

The young man in white finally reached the finish line, while Lin Zhen was still a few kilometers away.

By the looks of it, there was no way he could make it in time.

The young man in white raised one foot and stretched it out in front of the light gate. Half of his body was already in. At this moment, he looked back at Lin Zhen.

“Hehe, Lin Zhen, you must have hoped that I would fall at this moment, right? But unfortunately, I have to disappoint you.”

“Take a good look. You’re still three thousand meters away from here. You can reach here quickly, but no matter how fast you are, you’ll never make it.”

“I deliberately let you catch up so you could see how you failed. A weakling like you from the New World dares to compete with me, the Wood Prince! You really don’t know how to live!”

“Hahaha! You’re only 500 meters away now, huh? But it’s such a pity. I’m about to cross the finish line, and the first place will always be mine. Goodbye!”

With that, the young man in white stepped through the light gate!

Lin Zhen entered the light gate second, with a mere 0.1-second difference, but he was still a bit too slow.

“Sigh! I didn’t expect to end up with only second place in the end, but it should be fine. I also killed a Galaxy Beast. There shouldn’t be much difference between the first and second places.”

Not that Lin Zhen couldn’t afford to lose. He did try his best. It was already a miracle that he could achieve second place amidst the encirclement and interception of his enemies.

However, after stepping through the light gate, he found that he had not left the tower but was still here.

“What the hell is going on?”

Before Lin Zhen could react, the light in front of him flickered, space twisted, and a new scene appeared before his eyes!
