Chapter 779: Chapter 782: Divine Spear in Stone (Triple Update)
“I spoke with Landis, the clan leader, and my name is Lin Zhen.”
Seeing the guard of Kirin Sacred Mountain coming out, Lin Zhen replied calmly.
The Fire Kirin guard’s eyes lit up when he heard Lin Zhen’s name: “So it’s Lin Zhen, we are very glad to have you here. This is your first time visiting the Kirin clan, right?”
“Yes, the first time.”
“Well, congratulations on coming home. The clan leader has already announced that you are one of our clan members. You can take a look around here.”
“Alright.” Lin Zhen agreed and walked in.
“Um… could I have a photo with you? You know, I’m your fan.”
The Longevity Realm Kirin was somewhat shy, not much different from the stargazers on Earth when they saw their idols.
“Hehe, no problem.”
The Kirin turned into a young man and took a photo with Lin Zhen in front of the Sacred Mountain.
Walking through an invisible light gate, the scene inside was completely different from the outside.
From the outside, the Sacred Mountain looked like a bald volcano, an infertile land. But after passing through the light gate, it became apparent that the outer appearance was an illusion.
This place was indeed a volcano, but there were many buildings built around it. As the home of the Fire Kirin clan, it couldn’t be too shabby.
The first thing that caught Lin Zhen’s eyes was a row of Kirin statues.
Those who could have their statues erected here were all great figures of the Fire Kirin clan.
There were the first clan leader of the Fire Kirin at the dawn of the Original World, figures who had once served as the leader of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and those who had established immortal merits.
When Lin Zhen arrived at the seventh statue, he stopped.
The statue was of a person and a Kirin, but this Kirin was different from the others. It was actually a Black Hole Beast.
Lin Zhen had been in the Original World for so long and had seen many races and people, but he had never seen another Black Hole Beast before.
This Black Hole Beast was named Moka, and there was a brief introduction below it.
Moka, a mutated Fire Kirin, was called the Black Hole Beast because it could release a black hole to devour everything.
As a Holy Land warrior from the Twin Trees Garden, Moka went to the Endless Star Sea to battle against the Imperial Clan at the peak of the Three Flowers Stage. In the end, Moka disappeared.
Below, there were the brilliant battle achievements and the life story of Moka. Those achievements were shocking to behold, and Lin Zhen could easily feel the glory of Moka back then.
However, the date inscribed below was too far away, dating back hundreds of millions of years ago.
“A god-level figure from hundreds of millions of years ago, I wonder if he has perished. Chances are slim, though.”
Aside from Moka, there were many other mutated Fire Kirins here.
There were Wind Element, Fire Element, and Earth Element mutated Fire Kirins, and so on.
There were even dual-element and triple-element mutated Fire Kirins. Lin Zhen even saw a Fire Kirin mutated with all four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, named Landis. He was once the most powerful expert of the Fire Kirin clan and had extraordinary strength.
Not only Fire Kirins but any Galaxy Beasts that could mutate were also some form of luck. After mutating, their potential would surpass that of their peers, and each mutated Galaxy Beast would have its own legendary story.
After looking around, Lin Zhen noticed that more than half of the Fire Kirin experts had died in the Endless Star Sea.
Cultivation, joining the Holy Land, continuing to cultivate, entering the Endless Star Sea battlefield, then perishing!
This might be a fatal cycle for the warriors of the Original World. They pursued the strongest martial path only to find it was a dead end. It made Lin Zhen wonder just how terrifying the Endless Star Sea battlefield must be to cause the death of so many powerful beings.
After passing the statue group, there was a towering hall in front, located near the mouth of the volcano.
The name of the hall was Fire Palace, which led directly to the depths of the volcano. This was the residence of the Fire Kirin Clan Leader, where Saga should be living.
As Lin Zhen came to the entrance of the Fire Palace, his attention was drawn to a long spear.
In front of the Fire Palace, there was a giant stone that was as large as a skyscraper. Although its light had dimmed, Lin Zhen recognized it at a glance as a huge Cosmic Crystal!
More precisely, this should be a World Stone, the crystal of a martial artist’s inner world.
Lin Zhen also had an inner world, and his World Stone was quite large. However, compared to this stone, it was still much smaller.
Lin Zhen estimated that the owner of this stone must have been more than just at the Three Flowers Stage; otherwise, it would not have produced such a massive World Stone.
Surprisingly, this huge stone had been pierced by a long spear, which rested on top of the stone.
It was evident that the owner of the stone must have been killed by the owner of this spear.
There was an introduction below the stone.
“Landis’s Spear. Landis pierced through the Demon God’s Dantian with this spear, broke through their inner world, toppled this World Stone, and reversed the situation on the Windsor Battlefield. However, Landis also fell as a result.”
“This Landis’s Spear was left here to commemorate his great achievements. In Landis’s last words, whoever can pull out this Landis’s Spear shall be the owner of this spear.”
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on the long spear atop the giant stone.
Ever since his spear was destroyed, Lin Zhen had been using a sword. Although swordsmanship is profound, Lin Zhen still had a fondness for the long spear.
During the search for his avatar, Lin Zhen had thought that the avatar should not only use the sword like the main body, and should find a suitable long spear.
There are different benefits of using spears and swords. Swordsmanship is more delicate, but spearmanship has stronger offensive capabilities and is more suitable for group battles. Lin Zhen did not want to give up either.
However, a good long spear is too difficult to find. Lin Zhen has not found a Spirit Treasure Level spear so far.
But this spear was different. From a distance, the black spear body had intricate ancient patterns, made of some unknown material, though it was clear that its strength and toughness are excellent.
Moreover, the coldness emanating from the spear made Lin Zhen feel the bone-chilling cold even from a hundred meters away, further proving the extraordinary nature of this spear.
This is not just a Spirit Treasure Level spear, but a top-quality one among Spirit Treasures!
“This spear, I’m afraid it’s much better than the Sky-cutting Divine Sword!”
The more Lin Zhen looked at it, the more eager he was to possess it.
Just then, a Fire Kirin youth happened to pass by, and Lin Zhen stopped him: “Little brother, can anyone pull this spear out?”
Although the youth did not recognize Lin Zhen, it did not prevent him from speaking to Lin Zhen.
“As long as you are a member of our Fire Kirin Clan, you can try to pull this spear. However, I advise you to give up this idea. Landis’s Spear is the treasure of the Fire Kirin Clan, and for countless years, only Landis has been able to use it. No one else can move it even a bit.”
As the youth pointed to the ground: “Look there, the World Stone is fixed on the ground. No matter how strong you are, you cannot pull the spear and the World Stone together. You can only pull the spear out of the stone. But no matter how strong a person’s power or Star Power is, it is impossible to succeed.”
Lin Zhen looked at it, and indeed the World Stone was fixed and tightly connected to the ground.
But Lin Zhen’s desire to pull the spear had little to do with the stone. He asked the youth: “So am I qualified?”
“Of course, you can try.”
Without a word, Lin Zhen leaped onto the top of the stone.
Upon reaching the stone, Lin Zhen felt even more the extraordinary nature of the spear.
The part exposed outside the stone is about two meters long, and it is estimated that the part inside is more than one meter. The grip is as thick as a goose egg. Touching the spear handle lightly, the cold, coarse feeling was like touching a mountain, giving him a sense of absolute reliability.
“With this spear in hand, combined with suitable spearmanship, I will surely be invincible!”
Grasping the spear with one hand, Lin Zhen began to adjust his breath.
Since this spear has been left with the Fire Kirin Clan for billions of years, it certainly wouldn’t be easy to pull out. But how could Lin Zhen be content without trying?
As soon as Lin Zhen stood on top of the stone, many Fire Kirin Clan members immediately gathered around to watch the fun.
Someone recognized Lin Zhen right away.
“Oh my god, it’s Lin Zhen, it’s really him!”
“Really? I’ve only seen him in the Dimensional Universe before, and now I finally see him in person! Lin Zhen, I’m your fan!”
“Is Lin Zhen one of our clan members?”
“Are you stupid? Didn’t you see the Holy Land selection earlier? It was introduced as the Fire Kirin Clan’s Lin Zhen. He joined the Fire Kirin Clan long ago, and the Clan Leader had already announced it, but he just never had the chance to come.”
“Lin Zhen, come on! If you can pull this spear out, you’ll be a hero in our clan!”
As the clamor below reached him, Lin Zhen closed his eyes and remained undisturbed.
He gathered his Star Power to the limit, and both hands tightly gripped the spear.
Feeling that he was at his peak state, Lin Zhen immediately unleashed his power.
“Argh~~!!”
With a roar, Lin Zhen’s power exploded to its limit, and all forty-eight million Star Power erupted!
But the spear didn’t move at all!
At this moment, Lin Zhen sensed something was off.
It was not because his Star Power was insufficient, but because he felt that inside the spear, there was an unnoticeable blooming flower that countered his Star Power!
On the Elemental Flower, the forces of earth, water, fire, and wind surged, and the four petals formed a powerful protective field, causing his power to disappear without a trace.
“This is… an Elemental Flower? Why does this exist?”
Elemental Flowers are the crystallization of elemental power and are formed from talent, not something that can be achieved just by having elemental power.
Lin Zhen remembered Landis’s story he had just seen. Landis was a four-elements mutated Kirin, which might be the reason for his Elemental Flower.
“I get it now. To pull this spear out, one has to be a four-elements mutant. Otherwise, it’s impossible, no matter how much Star Power is infused into the spear, it will be counteracted by the Four Elements Flower. The only way to pull it out is to pull up the Original World, but of course, that’s impossible.”
Understanding the reason, Lin Zhen felt a little regretful. Was such an extraordinary divine weapon doomed to be a mere decoration?
