Chapter 661: Chapter 663: Comprehension, Planet Fall! (Third Update)

Martial artists experience a profound state called Enlightenment.

This state is elusive and rarely sought after, often elusive when deliberately sought, yet appearing suddenly at unexpected moments.

Ever since Lin Zhen had mastered “Satellite Fall”, he could face the World King with poise. However, despite his efforts, he had been unable to grasp the fourth move of the “Star Fall Five Skill”, known as “Planet Fall”.

However, ever since he had seen the descent of the Permanent Crystal Planet, Lin Zhen had a strong feeling that this was “Planet Fall”!

When “Planet Fall” is cast, even the Longevity Warriors must retreat. Even a powerful figure like Ning Qingxuan, can only use attrition tactics, slowly altering the planet’s trajectory, incapable of directly withstanding the attack.

If he were able to cast “Planet Fall”, his strength would soar, and within the struggle for the Divine Punishment Star, he would truly have a trump card.

Closing his eyes, previous scenes flickered before him like a movie.

The appearance of pressure, the rippling of space, the descent of the planet, and that unstoppable momentum stirred Lin Zhen’s heart.

His palm lightly danced, tracing a profound trajectory, a scene forever etched in his mind.

Enlightenment often happens in the blink of an eye.

“I understand now. The fall of a planet signifies destruction. The planet itself will be destroyed, and everything it strikes will be destroyed.”

“When martial artists attack, they subconsciously hold back, ensuring the stability of subsequent attacks and their own safety is not compromised.”

“When you try to harm your enemy while ensuring your own safety, not only is it a common understanding among martial artists, but it is also a natural human instinct. However, it is this mindset that prevents him from unleashing “Planet Fall”.

“If you want to destroy your enemy, you cannot fear destroying yourself. Without this realization, how can one cast “Planet Fall”!”

This moment of realization made Lin Zhen’s heart as clear as a mirror. When he opened his eyes again, he had the essence of “Planet Fall” in his heart.

He even had a strong impulse to cast a spell, to see if he could really unleash this move.

He had two targets for his attack. One was Ning Qingxuan who was near exhaustion; the other was the unstoppable and enormous Permanent Crystal Planet.

“If I attack Ning Qingxuan now, she will undoubtedly die, and I will be completely safe. However, this does not align with the essence of “Planet Fall”. How could I talk about self-destruction when facing someone I can kill with ease? Without this understanding, “Planet Fall” cannot be cast.”

Lin Zhen’s gaze settled on the massive planet that had by now flown far away. From his angle now, he couldn’t see Ning Qingxuan’s figure, only the constant descent of the planet.

From the faint tremors on the planet, Lin Zhen could feel that Ning Qingxuan was still persevering.

“Crown Princess… she is quite a good person, but unfortunately, she is my enemy.”

At this moment, Lin Zhen had less than a minute until the effect of the Divine Power Pills wore off. His time was running out.

Not for Ning Qingxuan, nor for the inhabitants of the Original World. As Lin Zhen had said, this was Ning Qingxuan’s homeland, not his. He didn’t have the realization to sacrifice himself for these irrelevant people.

But if he did not strike while the iron is hot and use “Planet Fall” now, he did not know when he would have such an epiphany again. Perhaps there would never be such an opportunity.

That’s why Lin Zhen moved.

“Double-headed Demon! Rampage with the fastest speed! Reach the side of the planet within fifty seconds!”

The Double-headed Demon dived madly, chasing after the huge planet.

Lin Zhen’s Star Power, which had surged to more than eight million, had erupted entirely at this moment.

He didn’t want to worry about what would happen later. The most important thing now was to master “Planet Fall”. This was a rare opportunity, and he didn’t want to miss it!

*********

Ning Qingxuan found everything in front of her beginning to blur.

She knew this was due to overexertion of Star Power, physical strength, and Spiritual Power. If she could not rest in time, her life would be in danger.

She hadn’t felt this way in a very, very long time since entering the Longevity Realm.

Especially after strengthening her body, such cases hardly happened, as there were few people who could push her to this extreme.

But today was different. She was not battling against a person, but against a star!

A Permanent Crystal Star that was about to plunge into her homeland! If this star were to land, her homeland would be invaded.

A lot of thoughts crossed Ning Qingxuan’s mind at this moment.

It wasn’t the first time she had done this. She knew that the harder she tried, the more people would survive because of her effort.

However, the situation this time was too difficult. Even with her power, she could not completely avoid the disaster. Nonetheless, she had to exhaust every last bit of her strength.

From the moment she saw this Permanent Crystal Planet, she had taken into account the worst scenario.

She doesn’t have much to reminisce about, nor anything to linger on. Liang Chen had grown up and didn’t need her care. Her relationship with her fiancé, Liang Zhihuan, was more like acquainted strangers.

Her Master and fellows did not need her that much either.

Perhaps the only regret was that the jerk Lin Zhen had not received his deserved punishment. But at this moment, it didn’t matter.

After more than ten minutes of intense bombardment, she successfully diverted this Permanent Crystal Planet’s trajectory by several kilometers. This was her limit.

She doesn’t have much Star Power left in her body anymore, not enough to continue launching such attacks.

Perhaps it was time for her to meet her end!

The Star Power surrounding her began to swell once again. Using the last of her strength, Ning Qingxuan was prepared to alter the trajectory of the Permanent Crystal Planet once more, even if it cost her life.

“If my life can save millions, there’s no reason to cling onto this longevity.”

With that thought in mind, her eyes moistened. Determined, Ning Qingxuan charged towards the Permanent Crystal Planet!

*********

Finally, under the swift flight of the Double-headed Demon Dragon, Lin Zhen approached the side of the planet within fifty seconds.

Since it had already been decided to attack the Permanent Crystal Planet, Lin Zhen had no objections to doing some good deeds. He added a bit of force to the spot Ning Qingxuan had previously bombarded, hoping to save a few people in the process.

In front of this massive planet, Lin Zhen was like dust, utterly insignificant. However, even such a tiny body could unleash earth-shattering power!

With more than 8 million Star Power units at his disposal, Lin Zhen wasn’t sure what would happen as he executed an unprecedented Planet Fall attack.

Each technique in the Star Fall Five Skill from the Ancient Classics could cause a monumental impact.

Just like Satellite Fall, each punch carried the force of a crashing satellite!

Lin Zhen’s power was at its limit, and when the huge planet flew past him within a hundred miles and its edges were out of sight, he erupted!

There were less than ten seconds left for the effect of his Divine Power Elixir to end. He needed to act fast.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Zhen held the Broken Mountain Spear in both hands, channeled the mantra of the Star Fall Five Skill in his mind, and launched an attack!

The Double-headed Demon Dragon had returned to Dark Star Space, and for a moment, Lin Zhen became a shining star!

The sharp point of the Broken Mountain Spear was the brightest point of this star, and his body suddenly accelerated to its limit!

Bang~!

The Wind Thunder Wings exploded at this moment, providing additional speed to Lin Zhen!

There was no atmosphere in Cosmic Space, but the tip of his spear ignited!

This was a phenomenon that only occurred when an object approached the speed of light and rubbed against the dark matter in space!

At this moment, he didn’t care if he would die. Even if he did, he was going to deliver this strike!

He was prepared to self-destruct if it meant executing Planet Fall!

The starlight on the spear tip flashed, condensing nearly all of Lin Zhen’s power. Bursting through the space with a brilliance that lit up the starry sky, it shot towards the Permanent Crystal Planet with a long tail trailing behind!

From a distance, it looked like a massive meteor in Cosmic Space, approaching the Permanent Crystal Planet in a suicidal attack!

From a meteor, it evolved into a comet in transit, and from a comet, it transformed into a speeding satellite!

Lin Zhen’s Star Power was burning like crazy. The single strike of Planet Fall consumed a whopping five million units of Star Power!

Unlike Ning Qingxuan’s continuous attacks, Lin Zhen’s attack was one-off. After this strike, he would be exhausted.

The satellite transformed again mid-flight, growing larger and larger! The starlight in the sky surged like a nuclear explosion!

“Come on! You’re a planet, and so am I. Even if you’re a behemoth, I can still shake you!”

The two planets finally collided!

Just a hundred meters away from the Permanent Crystal Planet, Lin Zhen thrust his spear forward!

The power amassed during this charge was released in this single moment!

If there was an image to describe this scene, perhaps a thousand nuclear bombs exploding together might be able to illustrate the scenario!

The earth-shattering explosion formed a powerful shockwave. Not only was Lin Zhen sent flying, spewing blood, but the colossal Permanent Crystal Planet also got knocked back a whole kilometer by his powerful strike!

The rolling shockwave spread out like a tide, pushing Lin Zhen away and also pushing away another person who had been intent on crashing into the planet.

Lin Zhen could only see stars, his ears were buzzing, and his limbs were soft.

The weak period of the Divine Power Pill had arrived.

But he was filled with joy because his comprehension became reality in the blink of an eye; he had truly grasped the essence of Planet Fall!

It was all worth it! Everything was worth it!

He felt severely weak. His Star Power was automatically expelled from his body due to the side effects of the Divine Power Pill which reduced his Star Power from over 8 million to only 1.68 million, a decrease of forty percent.

Such a drastic change made others feel that Lin Zhen was on the brink of death.

Just as Lin Zhen was struggling to summon the Double-headed Demon Dragon to make his escape, a Green Edge Sword was silently placed against his throat.

“Why did you save me?” Ning Qingxuan’s voice was weak and cold as it came from behind him.

Instinctively Lin Zhen wanted to retort, ‘Why would I want to save you, and how did you get here?’ But he swallowed his words and instead released a woebegone smile, “I always thought I was a selfish person. But now, I realized that some things in the heart can’t be defied. It’s not about standing tall, but about having no regrets. Crown Princess, do what you must.”
