Evolving infinitely from ground zero

```

The flesh-and-blood Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were shaken by the aftershocks until they bled from every orifice.

Consciousness blurred.

They were on the verge of fainting and becoming unconscious.

In stark contrast, the Source Crystals on the ground were all intact, unaffected by the aftershocks that had spread over.

It was not that the Source Crystals were stable enough to withstand the aftershocks of a battle between three Legendary Level experts.

It was because the beast from before had turned into a large expanse of deep blue mist, fully covering the Source Crystals, shielding them from the destruction of the battle's aftershocks.

Lin Zichen, enduring the severe pain from the aftershocks of the Legendary Level battle, tried his best to open his eyes to observe the situation.

He wanted to spread his spiritual power to watch the battle, but in this place, his spiritual power simply could not extend out.

He could only rely on his eyes to see everything clearly.

When he saw the beast turn into a large expanse of deep blue mist, protecting the Source Crystals from the aftershocks of the battle, Lin Zichen felt very puzzled in his heart.

Was this beast not intelligent?

With its formidable strength, the more accurate course of action to protect the Source Crystals from destruction would have been to kill those three weakened Legendary Level experts right away.

Instead of transforming itself into mist to become a protective layer for the Source Crystals.

While Lin Zichen puzzled over these thoughts in his heart,

the Legendary Level battle ahead had already come to an end.

The three individuals were heavily injured, their strength impaired, and after going all out in the exchange, their Blood Qi Power quickly depleted. They used up almost everything, down to the bare minimum needed to sustain life in their bodies.

For this reason, after the battle had ended, all three lay on the ground, gasping for breath, no longer capable of fighting.

"You two, quick, move quickly to kill these two traitors. Their Qi-Blood is exhausted now, their bodily defenses greatly lowered, you can kill..."

Qin Chuan endured the intense pain coming from various parts of his body, his voice weak and pained.

Lin Zichen, hearing these words, showed no sign of moving his feet.

His [Danger Perception] was warning him that the Legendary Level experts sprawled on the ground still had energy left in them, enough to erupt with full force for a few seconds.

At merely an Epic Biological Level, if he truly went forward to take advantage of their injuries, he would definitely die miserably at the hands of Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, both of Legendary Level.

This City Lord is not an easy opponent...

Planning to use me as a disposable pawn to consume the remaining energy of those two traitorous Deputy City Lords...

Indeed, those who hold high positions are all ruthless...

Lin Zichen thought silently in his heart.

"Quick!"

"Take action quickly!"

"Otherwise, it'll be too late once they have self-healed to a certain extent!"

Seeing Lin Zichen still without action, Qin Chuan couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly, his face anxious as he urged him on.

Lin Zichen turned a deaf ear, choosing instead to leap powerfully off the ground, holding Shen Qinghan and flying upwards, eager to escape this place of trouble.

At the moment he leaped up—

"Buzz!"

A breaking sound suddenly came from underfoot.

It was the beast!

From the state of a large expanse of deep blue mist, it had recondensed into a massive Qilin form, charging at breakneck speed directly towards the three people lying on the ground.

Qin Chuan, who was closest, was immediately bitten into pieces, blood sprayed everywhere and he fell on the spot.

He didn't even have the chance to regenerate from his flesh and blood.

Because the deep blue mist continuously emitting from the beast's body instantly dissolved all the remaining flesh and blood on the ground into nothingness.

Almost at the same time, Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, not far off, also met with the beast's ferocious bite and fell together in this dark underwater space.

...

At the same time.

In the high skies outside the ruins.

The weather suddenly changed dramatically.

Three silhouettes appeared in the sky of the Central Region, watched by many living beings, and instantly shattered into countless fragments that fell, then dissipated into specks of starlight in the air, fading into nothingness in the river of time.

What happened?

Three dominant Legendary Level beings have fallen at once?

Which three powerhouses have fallen?

Many intelligent beings in the Central Region had faces full of confusion.

...

Above the high skies of the Southern Domain.

The Night King, Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, Sea God, Mountain Lord of Green Hills Ancient Mountain, and Qi Qingmo, these six Mythical Level Experts, were going all out in battle without any reservation, causing the sky to shake and the space itself seemed on the verge of tearing apart.

Suddenly, the six experts tacitly pulled apart and stopped, as if by agreement, all of them turning to look in the direction of the Central Region.

From the Southern Domain, despite the endless distance, they saw the high skies of the Central Region where three Legendary Level living beings fell.

"Heh, how interesting, three Legendary Level beings from Earth just fell like that. Taoist Robe Woman, it seems your Earth beings are a bit fragile," the Night King said to Qi Qingmo with a mocking tone.

Qi Qingmo listened with an undisturbed heart; having slept for many years in the Bronze Ancient Coffin, she felt no sense of belonging to Earth as it now was.

What she cared about was only herself, forever.

...

Central Region.

In an extremely hidden ruin.

The only three Mythical Level Experts from Earth were nourishing their bodies in this secret ruin of the Central Region, trying their best to recover their strength and extend their lifespans.

"Alas, another three Legendary Level experts of the Human Race have fallen..."

A man slowly opened his eyes and sighed heavily. Explore more stories with empire

The two experts beside him heard his sigh, but none of them responded, choosing silence instead.

At that moment, the woman seated in the middle spoke slowly, "At the Southern Domain, several Mythical Level beings are fighting. That crazy old woman from back in the day is among them. Should we go out and lend her a hand?"

Another Mythical Level Expert, an elder with white hair and a white beard, spoke indifferently, "Let's wait and see. If she can handle it herself, we won't meddle unnecessarily. We'd better focus on nourishing our battered bodies here and try to recover our peak strength before the final great battle arrives."

These three had survived since the Era of the Gods, having had many encounters with their peer, Qi Qingmo, back in the day.

...

Central Region.

Within the ruins of a cave.

At the bottom of the pool.

Lin Zichen, who was escaping with Shen Qinghan, witnessed the scene where the three Legendary Level experts below were casually torn into pieces, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Three incredibly powerful Legendary Level experts, dead in an instant.

Torn into pieces, blood scattered everywhere.

Before, Lin Zichen thought in his mind that the beast with low intelligence didn't know that killing Qin Chuan and the others outright would have been more efficient and would have protected the Source Crystals on the ground better.

Now it seemed that the beast, taking the form of a mist, was not of low intelligence but extremely cunning.

It was cunning in its initial decision not to make a move, waiting patiently until both parties were severely wounded before coming out as the opportunist, killing everyone involved—a sinister move.

"Roar!!!"

After successfully killing the three intruders, the beast roared triumphantly.

The next second, it turned its gaze upward to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, its misty eyes revealing a hint of wariness.

Lin Zichen noticed the wariness in its eyes, unsure what it was wary of.

But this was good news.

Seeing the beast's eyes filled with wariness, merely staring with its eyes wide open without any substantial move to attack, Lin Zichen hesitated for a moment, then decided to slowly distance himself. While keeping eye contact with the beast below that was watching him intently, he slowly ascended toward the waters above.

Just as he touched the water surface—

"Roar!!!"

The beast below roared, and it seemed to make a decision. In a flash, it charged towards Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, who were about to escape, with the fastest speed possible.

Lin Zichen's face changed drastically as he saw this. He promptly exploded with both Qi-Blood and spiritual power, madly breaking through the water surface, exhibiting a speed far beyond his Biological Level to flee.

However, it was too slow.

Lin Zichen's escape speed was too slow in front of a Legendary Level living being.

In just the blink of an eye, he was caught up by the beast below. It opened its huge maw and fiercely bit down on him.

Just when the beast's teeth were about to touch his body—

"Boom!!!"

A colossal palace suddenly reflected out of Shen Qinghan's Sea of Consciousness, like the mythical Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, suppressing downward with an eclipse-like force towards the beast below.
