170: Bad luck strikes, karma fire changes (update)

After the Alliance Leader Old Deng left, Lin Chen went about his business as usual.

The Void Annihilation Spear remained obediently within his body, passively increasing the speed at which he absorbed Void Power and accelerating the Void Incarnation process.

"I have a feeling bad luck is coming soon. I need to quickly refine the Void Annihilation Spear and then return to the Federation to avoid and suppress this unlucky state."

After acquiring the Void Annihilation Spear, he no longer needed to stay in the Void to enhance his Void Incarnation. Therefore, refining the Void Annihilation Spear and then returning to the Federation to lie low aligned with his behavioral logic.

This time, acquiring the Void Annihilation Spear and obtaining resources that could cultivate Dao Fall Power of a God-level strength could be said to have overdrawn too much good fortune.

With so much good fortune consumed, even a significant portion of his future good fortune was depleted, naturally allowing bad luck to grow stronger.

The original bad luck had already been brought to the Void Forbidden Zone by Aura and fixed there. Thus, new bad luck required an outlet, and God Lin Chen, who was out wandering in the Void, was naturally a good choice.

Previously, God Lin Chen had been the outlet for bad luck; he had experience with this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offended two Star Envoys in a row, leading to frequent mishaps because of the Star Envoys.

Every cause has its effect, and every effect has its cause.

In the quasi-Void World, Lin Chen summoned the Void Annihilation Spear.

The Void Annihilation Spear's origin was complete; it was a complete Upper Grade Dao Imbued Level supreme treasure, and a faint sentience had been born within it, instinctively choosing a suitable master.

Lin Chen was the most suitable master at this stage, possessing Void Power and astonishing luck, with infinite possibilities in the future. That's why the Void Annihilation Spear unsealed and conveyed its intention to recognize him as its master the moment Lin Chen touched it.

Refining the Void Annihilation Spear was still somewhat difficult due to its inherent power level. Lin Chen could only initially leave a soul imprint. Subsequently, he could only continuously comprehend the layers of Void Power it contained until he reached the Foundation Level, only then would he be able to fully control the Void Annihilation Spear.

However, leaving an initial soul imprint was already enough for Lin Chen to use it, as he currently had no need to use the Void Annihilation Spear for combat. Its primary purpose was to facilitate the Void Incarnation process.

The process of initially refining the Void Annihilation Spear and leaving a soul imprint went very smoothly. The Void Annihilation Spear was very cooperative, as if it couldn't wait for Lin Chen to favor it.

After gaining control of the Void Annihilation Spear, Lin Chen also briefly refined the Main God-level full body armor that Jiang Wuliang had given him, first maximizing his defense.

This process did not last long, approximately two months.

Subsequently, without any hesitation, he traversed the near-Void and returned to This Universe, heading back to the Federation to lie low.

The Dao Oblivion Seed he carried with him only needed the Void Annihilation Spear to conceal its fluctuations, and it would not be rejected by This Universe.

Therefore, returning to This Universe would not affect the cultivation of the Dao Oblivion Seed.

Currently, his equipment and gains were too numerous.

He wielded the Void Annihilation Spear, wore a Main God-level full body armor, possessed ten Karma Source Stones related to his main body's Upper God level cultivation, and held a Main God-level Karma-type treasure. Furthermore, he controlled a Star Envoy Token and bore the important responsibility of cultivating the Dao Oblivion Seed.

With all these gains and responsibilities, he dared not continue to wander in the Void.

He was afraid of getting himself killed and losing all these gains in the Void, which would be a huge loss.

However, the state of bad luck appeared earlier and was more intense than before.

Lin Chen, who had just left the quasi-Void World, encountered a God-tier Void Creature, a creature he found very familiar.

Realizing this, he knew that this God-tier Void Creature was one of those that had previously pursued the Star Envoy and Aura.

This time, Lin Chen was no longer the weakling he once was, only able to run without the power to retaliate.

"What a small world. If you hadn't chased relentlessly, how could the Star Envoy have pursued into the deep Void? So, I'll collect some interest from you first."

Summoning the Void Annihilation Spear, Lin Chen directly charged towards the snake-shaped God-tier Void Creature.

At this moment, the snake-shaped God-tier Void Creature was also very confused, wondering why Lin Chen, so weak, dared to show hostility towards it and challenge its authority.

Thus, it also retaliated without showing weakness.

However, the Void Annihilation Spear was too powerful; even a normal attack from Lin Chen severely wounded the God-tier Void Creature.

The power of Void Annihilation permeated its body, preventing it from absorbing Void Power to heal. Its own presence also became increasingly faint, on the verge of dying.

A Dao Imbued Level supreme treasure completely reversed the combat power between Lin Chen and the God-tier Void Creature. Lin Chen already possessed the combat power of a weak Lower God, and now, wielding the Void Annihilation Spear, he reached the combat power of a strong Lower God.

Except for Middle Gods and above who could suppress him through their rank, at the Lower God level, he was no longer weak; he could contend with anyone, and even achieve kills.

This snake-shaped God-tier Void Creature was very unlucky, as it happened to encounter Lin Chen, fully equipped, in peak condition, and with rapidly soaring combat power.

At this point, it was unclear who was in a state of bad luck.

After severely wounding the God-tier Void Creature with one spear, Lin Chen pressed his advantage, channeling most of the Void Power within his body into the Void Annihilation Spear, preparing to deliver a decisive blow.

"Annihilation · Fall"

With one spear, the God-tier Void Creature died silently, leaving only its corpse behind.

"Hehe, is my combat power already this strong? The Void Annihilation Spear is truly a treasure."

Lin Chen caressed the Void Annihilation Spear in his hand. From now on, this would be his "wife"; no one else could use it, only he alone.

The Void Annihilation Spear sensed Lin Chen's joy and trembled slightly, responding to his happiness.

Putting away the corpse of the God-tier Void Creature, Lin Chen continued on his way, fearing that more unlucky events would befall him, as states of bad luck, like good luck, were equally unreasonable.

During good luck, many unreasonable opportunities would fall into one's lap, and during bad luck, many unreasonable disasters would also occur.

Meanwhile, in the Ye Huo World.

The former Wanmu Kingdom territory, now the Dust World Church territory.

The Dust World Church only occupied one percent of this territory. Currently, all humans in the Ye Huo World had been liberated and brought back to the Dust World Church from various parts of the world by ten thousand God Ascension Realm Experts, to be ruled and nurtured by the Dust World Church.

In the Ye Huo World, Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen were present. Neither of them interfered much, both in secluded cultivation. The three God-level elders, meanwhile, were stationed at the Dust World Sect, deterring the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm of the Ye Huo World.

Logically, this situation would last for a long time and generally would not change, as it hadn't been long since the last God fell.

However, Lin Chen entered a state of bad luck. This time, the bad luck was more abundant and lasted longer. Even though God Lin Chen, who was outside, bore a significant portion, a part of the bad luck was still shared by Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen.

As a result, Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen's peaceful days of secluded cultivation ended, and the situation in the Ye Huo World began to fluctuate.

It wasn't that the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm had any designs on the Dust World Church, but rather that true Extraterrestrial Invaders appeared. These Extraterrestrial Invaders threatened all living beings in the Ye Huo World, and the Dust World Church was among them.

The original Ye Huo World already had instances of 'fishing for law enforcement.'

The world barrier of the Ye Huo World had many loopholes. Lin Chen entered the Ye Huo World through these loopholes and gained a foothold by calling in reinforcements.

Because he intended to make the Ye Huo World the origin of the Dust World Church, he did not overly provoke the Lord Gods of the Karma Fire Realm and had been accumulating strength, refraining from large-scale destruction of the Ye Huo World's ecological environment.

But these Extraterrestrial Invaders, attracted this time, would not be as benevolent as Lin Chen, adhering to the concept of sustainable development. They would only drain the pond to catch all the fish, completely devouring the Ye Huo World.

The Extraterrestrial Invaders were a wandering world, also a Lower God-level Great Thousand World, and its ruler had completely controlled the world, capable of unleashing Middle God-level strength, far more powerful than the Karma Fire Venerable of the Ye Huo World.

Moreover, the first faction discovered by the Extraterrestrial Invaders was also the Dust World Sect. Some of the Dust World Sect's God Ascension Level believers had always been outside the world, observing the state of the entire world, so they were naturally the first to discover the arrival of the Extraterrestrial Invaders.

Lin Chen wasn't too worried about the Extraterrestrial Invaders; he even saw it as an opportunity to unify the Ye Huo World.

God Lin Chen, in the Void, possessed the combat power of a strong Lower God, and he was currently on his way back to This Universe. He could completely go to the Ye Huo World to provide support and, while he was at it, subdue the Ye Huo World and the world of the Extraterrestrial Invaders.

Mirror Lin Chen, in the Ye Huo World, also had the combat power of a weak Lower God, and there were three powerful God-level elders, which was already sufficient to handle the situation in the Ye Huo World.

A Great Thousand World that could wander at high speed was much more valuable than a Small Thousand World operating on a fixed trajectory.

Thus, God Lin Chen, who was traversing the Void, received instructions from his main body and temporarily changed his plan, preparing to head to the Ye Huo World for support.
