719 Advancement; Saint-Level Defense Array!
The golden light that filled the sky kept twisting and gathering.

Gradually, it turned into the shadow of Lin Fan, who was over 10,000 feet tall and high up in the sky.

A powerful aura like that of a god, an immortal, and a king rolled down.

All of the living beings could not help but kneel down on the ground as a sense of respect toward Lin Fan welled up in their hearts.

Lin Fan had broken through to the King level!

At the same time, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on breaking through to the King level. You’ve obtained Nine Revolutions Defense Array, Transcendence Golden Body x 5, Saint Crystal x 1.]

Lin Fan looked at the five Transcendence Golden Bodies in front of him and nodded.

Then, his gaze fell on the Saint Crystal.

[Saint Crystal: A mysterious crystal that contains surging pure energy. After absorbing it, it can increase the cultivation aptitude of living beings and quickly increase their cultivation.]

All Lin Fan could see were countless gigantic white Spirit Dragons that were soaring high up in the air. They were swimming and circling around the Saint Crystal, giving off an endless amount of energy.

Lin Fan could sense that the energy contained within this Saint Crystal was over 10,000 times that of an Immortal Crystal. The purity of the energy was even higher than that of an Immortal Crystal!

With this Saint Crystal, Lin Fan believed that he would be able to cultivate even faster.

Then, he placed his attention on the Nine Revolutions Defense Array.

[Nine Revolutions Defense Array: A Saint-level array. It has a defensive array that can defend against the attacks of a Saint Lord.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up.

Soon, the universe competition would officially begin.

This was a large-scale competition that had attracted the attention of the Saint Lords.

There was no doubt that the formation would be extremely terrifying.

It might even trigger a battle between the Saint Lords.

A while ago, Lin Fan was really worried about this.

Now, he could finally relax a little.

Following that, Lin Fan took out a few million spirit stones, a few thousand spirit crystals, ten Immortal Crystals, and the only Saint Crystal according to the Nine Revolutions Defense Formation in his mind. He placed them in every corner of the Earth in a specific location and method.

Then, he quickly drew out extremely complicated talismans.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, circles of mysterious talismans rippled and spread across the entire Earth, causing countless people to exclaim and take pictures.

In the end, the talismans all disappeared.

At the same time, all the living beings felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Nine Revolutions Defense Array, complete!

Lin Fan slowly opened the door, and a refreshing breeze blew out.

Hu Tian, Su Ningjing, Xia Bing, Xia Xue, and the others walked over.

“Lin Fan, you’ve broken through?”

Lin Fan smiled and nodded. “That’s right. I’ve broken through a realm.”

When everyone heard this, they all revealed looks of joy.

The person they liked was getting stronger and stronger.
Then, everyone had a sumptuous lunch and a happy and relaxed night.

The next day, Lin Fan returned to his room and sat down cross-legged.

However, he did not immediately enter the state of cultivation.

Instead, he opened the system interface.

[Host: Lin Fan]

[Cultivation: Level-one King]

[Skills: Sword 81 (Emperor), Curse (Saint), Sword Nurturing Technique (Emperor), Universe Sword Technique (Emperor)…]

[Character Relationship:]

[Lin Tao: Dad; Favorability: Ten stars]

[Dai Weixue: Mom; Favorability: Ten stars]

[Lin Xiaoyao: Sister; Favorability: Ten stars]

[Xia Xue: Dao companion; Favorability: Ten stars]

[Xia Bing: Dao companion; Favorability: Ten stars]

When Lin Fan’s gaze landed on his relationship, he suddenly realized that Lin Chengzhen’s name was faintly discernible.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan’s heart tightened.

Based on his past experience, Lin Fan knew that Lin Chengzhen was in danger.

However, Lin Fan did not use his soul to communicate with Lin Chengzhen immediately.

He just looked at his name silently.

That was because Lin Fan did not know if he would affect Lin Chengzhen if he used his soul to communicate with him now, putting him in an even more dangerous situation.

A day later, Lin Chengzhen’s name finally stabilized.

Another day passed, and Lin Chengzhen’s name did not change.

Hence, Lin Fan used his soul connection.

“Chengzhen,” Lin Fan called out softly.

After a while, Lin Chengzhen began to respond.

“Dad!” His voice was very loud.

Lin Fan asked, “Chengzhen, how have you been in the Dark Universe recently?””

“It’s pretty good!” Lin Chengzhen said.

Then, he said happily, “Dad, do you know? I’m already at the fifth level of the Star Traveller Realm! Moreover, it won’t be long before I can break through to the sixth level!”

One had to know…

Before Lin Chengzhen left Earth, he had not reached the Star Traveller level.

Right now, he was already at the fifth level.

It had to be said that his improvement was truly astonishing.

“Not bad,” Lin Fan said.

“If there’s anything, feel free to tell me.”

“Okay, Dad,” Lin Chengzhen said.

“I’ll teach you some cultivation techniques now,” Lin Fan said.

Hence, Lin Fan passed on the two King-level techniques he had obtained from the system a while ago, the Primordial Fist and the God Slaying Spear, to Lin Chengchen.

It was not that Lin Fan was not willing to impart more and stronger skills to Lin Chengzhen.

It was because Lin Chengzhen was too weak now. Other cultivation techniques were not suitable for him. Moreover, he could not learn them.

Lin Chengzhen even had a hard time learning these two techniques.

Lin Fan said, “Do you remember it?”

“I do!” Lin Chengzhen said happily.

“Alright, train well in the Dark Universe and be careful,” Lin Fan said.

“Okay, Dad,” Lin Chengzhen said.

The soul communication ended here.

…

In the Dark Universe.

On a jagged cliff.

“Chengzhen, you’re finally awake. What happened to you just now?” Li Hao asked.

“My dad was just communicating with me,” Lin Chengzhen said.

The two of them were now more than twice as tall as they were on Earth. Their bodies were full of muscles that were like iron lumps.

Lin Chengzhen’s originally black hair had turned scarlet, and coupled with the ferocious knife marks, he looked a little terrifying.

“My dad taught me two very powerful cultivation techniques. I think they’re at least at the Universe level!”

“Universe-level cultivation techniques?” Li Hao was shocked. “F*ck! Cheng Zhen, where did your dad get such powerful cultivation techniques?

“Could it be that he’s already a Universe-level warrior?”

At this point, Li Hao’s tone became even more excited.

They had been living in the Dark Universe for decades, so they were very clear what the Universe level represented.

“I don’t know.” Lin Chengzhen shook his head.
