121: The ninth level of transcendence!

Bai Hong and the others continued to discuss resource allocation and the future development of the Human Race in the conference room.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, explored Super Base No. 1 alone.

He found that currently, there were few people below the Martial Master Realm in Super Base No. 1; most were in the Martial Master Realm and Martial King Realm, and all of them were on edge.

These people only dared to hunt exotic beasts near the base and did not venture too far.

The Human Race's higher-ups must have already informed them that a major war was imminent.

Lin Chen sighed in his heart at the sight; this was the reality of this martial world.

The weak could only live in fear, struggling to survive in the cracks.

“It won't be long before the Azure Cang Realm is dominated solely by the Blue Star Human Race!”

A glint of killing intent flashed in Lin Chen's eyes... Three hours later, a message arrived on Lin Chen's smart crystal.

“It's finally here!”

The message contained a set of coordinates for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled faintly and instantly teleported to the ten-thousand-meter-high void above the base.

Not long after, adozens-meter-widecrack opened in the space in front of Lin Chen, and a square box emerged.

Lin Chen could see through the spatial rift that a massive black spaceship was hovering outside the world's membrane!

This spaceship was like an ancient giant beast, exuding an incredibly imposing aura!

Lin Chen's heart was filled with longing at this moment.

He imagined himself in the future, owning his own spaceship and traveling through countless worlds...

The spaceship outside the world's membrane disappeared instantly after seeing Lin Chen retrieve the square box.

Lin Chen then tore through space and moved away from Super Base No. 1, eventually carving out a cave in a cliff.

Inside the cave, Lin Chen slowly opened the square box.

He saw a red exotic fruit containing rich energy placed in the center of the box, with a space ring beside it.

Lin Chen excitedly picked up the exotic fruit, only to find a piece of paper underneath it, which described the fruit's information.

Spirit Nurturing Fruit: Can prematurely merge Mental Energy and soul into Mind Power.

What?

Mind Power!

Lin Chen instantly lost his composure; Mind Power was something only those in the Source Beginning Realm could possess!

From the Source Beginning Realm onwards, mastering Mind Power meant that one could crush all beings below the Source Beginning Realm with Mind Power alone!

Mind attacks could not be resisted by any physical defense, unless one possessed mind-type treasures for protection.

And mind-type treasures were the most precious, their value far exceeding that of weapon and armor-type treasures!

At this moment, Lin Chen was extremely excited; once he awakened Mind Power, combined with his other methods, his combat power would definitely reach a new level!

“I should be able to resist the Transcendent Tribulation now. There are a lot of energy points this time, so no need to rush.”

Immediately, Lin Chen put the space ring into his Inner World, then took out 50 million source crystals.

System, devour and absorb!

Buzz—

The entire Inner World formed a massive energy storm, and Lin Chen frantically absorbed this energy.

After a long while, the energy absorption was complete.

energy points: 50.022 trillion

“Let's upgrade the Golden Body first!”

Immediately, Lin Chen directly consumed 10 trillion energy points.

Boom—

A tremendously vast surge of heat suddenly erupted within Lin Chen, and this heat began to transform Lin Chen's Physical Body.

This time, it wasn't as painful; Lin Chen felt incredibly comfortable, and he could clearly sense that the strength contained within his Physical Body was growing stronger and stronger...

Two hours later, the Physical Body upgrade was complete.

A Physical Body at the high-grade profound heaven spiritual treasure level!

Lin Chen clenched his fists. He felt that if he were to face Shen Kong again, he could defeat him by simply using his Physical Strength.

He glanced at the system panel.

Golden Body: Seventeenth Forging+ (Consumes 10 quadrillion energy points to upgrade)

(Explanation: The Physical Body is comparable to a high-grade profound heaven spiritual treasure and can contend with a half-step Source Beginning Realm expert.)

10 quadrillion!

The energy points required for the next upgrade had directly increased tenfold!

He could only temporarily give up on upgrading his Physical Body.

“There are still 40 trillion energy points. Let's directly break through to the Transcendent Realm!”

Lin Chen's Physical Body was now a high-grade profound heaven spiritual treasure, and his combat power had reached the half-step Source Beginning Realm level. He was now very confident that he could easily endure the Transcendent Tribulation!

Consume energy points to break through!

Instantly, 10 trillion energy points were consumed, and Lin Chen's Inner World also underwent a massive transformation at this moment!

Eleven Great Daos intertwined within the Inner World, forming a perfect balance with the entire Inner World!

Boom—

At this moment!

A sudden anomaly occurred in the sky.

A destructive earthen-yellow beam of light descended from the heavens!

Lin Chen instantly teleported to the mountaintop.

He stood still, allowing the earthen-yellow beam of light to strike his Physical Body.

Bang!

The entire mountaintop crumbled, but Lin Chen shot straight into the sky.

The Transcendent Tribulation had eleven stages, each more difficult than the last.

However, the first stage of the Transcendent Tribulation was like a tickle to him.

Suddenly!

He looked directly into the depths of the void above his head, where an aura that even he found terrifying appeared.

The World Will of the Azure Cang Realm!

Which was also the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm!

Every world had a World Will; this will was not a living being and lacked autonomous thought.

The World Will was incredibly powerful; it would only act according to the rules of the world's operation, and everything it did was to protect its associated world.

For example, if a strong person beyond the Transcendent Realm descended, it would suppress that strong person's strength to the Transcendent Realm.

Another example, if someone wanted to transcend the river of time, it would also bring down a tribulation.

Because every living being that transcended would take away a small portion of the world's origin power!

For example, Lin Chen's Inner World contained a lot of the world's origin power.

Although his world's origin power was extremely small compared to the Azure Cang Realm, if countless Transcendent Realm experts appeared, they would take away countless amounts of the world's origin power.

The Mortal Realm would also continuously decline until the world was finally destroyed and then reborn; this was a cycle!

And the origin will of the Mortal Realm, in order to slow down this trend, would follow the rules of protecting the Mortal Realm and bring down tribulations!

At this moment, the origin will of the Azure Cang Realm seemed to have discovered Lin Chen's uniqueness.

The aura emanating from the void grew more and more terrifying!

Lin Chen became puzzled at the sight; he vaguely felt a sense of trepidation.

“What's going on? Why aren't the remaining ten stages of the tribulation descending yet?”

“Could there be some unexpected change!”

Immediately, Lin Chen summoned Little Zi.

“Little Zi, can you see what's happening?”

Little Zi quickly observed the situation, then her cute big eyes kept rolling, as if she was searching for information.

A few minutes later.

“Master, you need to be careful; you are about to experience a strengthened version of the Transcendent Tribulation!”

“The operating rule of the Mortal Realm's will is to protect the world from harm and slow down its weakening trend.”

“And the power that Master displayed is too strong, which the World Will sensed, so it will increase the difficulty of your Transcendent Tribulation.”

“The Transcendent Tribulation is divided into nine levels; the higher the level, the more difficult it is!”

“I just observed that Master will face the ninth level of difficulty for the Transcendent Tribulation!”

“Master, good luck! If you overcome this tribulation, Master will receive immense benefits!”

Lin Chen suddenly understood at the sight, then he clenched his fists, his entire body boiling with battle intent!

“Bring it on!”
