Facing Shen Qinghan's spiritual attack, she couldn't withstand even a second, and was instantly plunged into hallucination.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zichen didn't hesitate in the slightest; his figure flashed before her, and with a fist filled with dense Blood Qi Power, he violently struck, creating a loud 'boom' as he blasted it into a large mist of blood.

Then, the familiar sound of 'swoosh' followed, the blood mist was instantaneously incinerated by the crimson flames into nothingness, ceasing to exist.

"Could I really be this strong..."

Lin Zichen, looking at his fist wrapped in Blood Qi Power, had a vacant expression on his face, feeling somewhat surreal.

He knew he was strong, but he hadn't expected to be strong enough to instantly kill two Epic Seventh Order experts across levels.

Moreover, it was a two-on-one instantaneous cross-level slaughter.

One must know, this was a cross-level killing at the Epic Stage.

The weight of this accomplishment far surpassed that of ordinary, High Level, or Rare stages of cross-level killing.

I'm really defying the heavens...

Lin Zichen felt a surge of excitement, his heart swelling somewhat.

But quickly, he calmed down.

He thought about it, his light work in slaughtering two opponents across levels was due to many factors beyond his own strength.

For instance, Shen Qinghan's help, the enemy's underestimation, and so on.

Without Shen Qinghan's help and if the enemy had taken him seriously, he would have never been able to achieve an easy cross-level slaughter.

"Lin Zi, are you alright?"

Seeing that the enemies had been completely annihilated and determining the safety of the moment, Shen Qinghan lightly tapped her toes and gently floated down next to Lin Zichen, her voice full of concern.

Breathing slightly heavily, Lin Zichen said, "I'm fine."

Afterward, he asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

"I was worried about you..."

Shen Qinghan's voice was timid, fearful of being scolded by Lin Zichen.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a scolding but more like a stern father's lecture.

Lin Zichen's heart warmed up upon hearing this, and he gently caressed her face, speaking softly, "It's good that you were worried and chose to come back to check on me, otherwise I might have really been done for this time."

These words weren't meant to comfort Shen Qinghan but were an ironclad truth.

If it hadn't been for Shen Qinghan's timely arrival, applying a spiritual attack on Huang Ying, Lin Zichen would likely have been severely injured by Huang Ying, left at their mercy.

"Am I still a burden now?"

Shen Qinghan raised her delicate little hand and placed it on the back of the hand that Lin Zichen was resting on her face, her peach blossom eyes looking earnestly into Lin Zichen's eyes, asking from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Zichen replied seriously, "You have never been a burden to me."

"You're lying."

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips: "You clearly just said not so long ago that I was a burden to you."

Lin Zichen explained, "The reason I said that was because I felt there was no chance of winning, and it would be better to let you leave rather than suffer with me."

Shen Qinghan didn't like this explanation; her eyes reddening as she emotionally said, "From now on, no matter what dangers we encounter, you are not allowed to bear it alone, you must let me stay by your side, got it?"

"Alright."

Lin Zichen acknowledged with a sound.

This 'alright' wasn't perfunctory; it was just his nature.

Shen Qinghan, having grown up with him from childhood, knew that he wasn't being dismissive.

The two exchanged these simple words.

Quickly after, they left the area and continued flying in the direction away from Green Hills Ancient Mountain.

"Lin Zi, you mentioned earlier that the Sea God from the Eastern Region was one of the figures on the mural in the underwater ruins, a guard who knelt in worship to a mysterious woman."

Having finished speaking, Shen Qinghan curiously asked, "Even a Mythical Level being needs to kneel in worship, so what kind of existence is that mysterious woman lying on the shell?"

After considering it, Lin Zichen answered, "I feel she should be at least Mythical Ninth Order Great Perfection, or perhaps a rank even higher than Mythical Level."

Shen Qinghan became even more curious, "A rank higher than Mythical Level? What rank could that be?"

Lin Zichen: "I don't know about that either."

The two chatted on and off in whispers while using Blood Qi Power for voice transmission, flying at High Speed in the sky, moving farther away from Green Hills Ancient Mountain.

Unknowingly, they had completely left Green Hills Ancient Mountain behind, arriving at the edge of the Southern Domain, bordering the Central Region.

From dozens of miles away, Lin Zichen sensed the desolation of the desert that bordered the Central Region.

After a brief sensing, he noticed an interesting place.

The desert on the Southern Domain side sparsely hosted some greenery, not looking as desolate.

Conversely, the desert on the side of the Central Region was barren, with only soil and sand, like an old man at dusk with little vitality, exuding an ancient and desolate air throughout.

Lin Zichen still remembered some descriptions of the Central Region from various records.

```

The records say that the Central Region is a vast ruin of civilization, containing numerous relics and inheriting the oldest civilization of the Origin Land, a forbidden area that is opened periodically.

Most of the Mythical Level Creatures in the Origin Land are born in the Central Region.

I wonder if the Central Region is open now...

Let's go take a look...

With this thought, Lin Zichen, cradling Shen Qinghan, rushed towards the boundary of the Central Region.

...

Elsewhere.

In a patch of azure sky.

The current City Lord of the Number 1 City, Qin Chuan, looked extremely disheveled, fleeing at high speed covered in blood.

Behind him, the two Deputy City Lords, Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, were relentlessly pursuing him, vowing to kill him completely.

No good.

I was wounded too badly in that sneak attack just now.

If this goes on, getting caught is just a matter of time.

I can't just wait to die.

I need to think of a way to deal with the two traitors behind me.

I've got it!

Ahead lies the Central Region!

At the border between the two domains, there is an Origin Crystal Mine Ruin, inhabited by a terrifying guardian beast, I can lure those two traitors into the ruins to have them killed indirectly!

With this thought in mind.

Qin Chuan decisively changed direction, flying as fast as possible towards the Origin Crystal Mine Ruins.

He intended to use the guardian beast's claws to kill Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, who were in hot pursuit behind him.

Especially Shangguan Yuehua.

This despicable woman, who had secured her position as Deputy City Lord and earned the qualifications to compete for the City Lord title through her frequent intimate exchanges with him, had turned out to be such a traitor.

This woman must die!

Feeling betrayed, Qin Chuan was filled with hatred for Shangguan Yuehua.

...

At the border between two domains.

Lin Zichen, with Shen Qinghan in tow, flew rapidly across the sky above this area and smoothly entered the periphery of the Central Region.

After entering, they chose to land and walk on foot, not daring to fly high in the sky as they had just done.

Flying high in the sky made them too obvious of a target, easily becoming a thorn in the eyes of other living beings, and could be shot down within minutes.

By contrast, walking on foot was a good way to conceal their presence and could avoid many unnecessary troubles.

"Lin Zi, there's a cave ahead, I can sense a lot of water inside it, a lot of water containing rich Origin Force."

After traveling for dozens of miles, when they arrived at the foot of a desolate mountain, Shen Qinghan sensitively sensed a massive cave at the base of the mountain.

Inside the cave, there was rich Origin Force, as well as a multitude of oddly-shaped aquatic creatures.

Hearing what Shen Qinghan said, Lin Zichen couldn't help but be surprised.

His Spiritual Strength was even higher than hers, yet he hadn't been able to extend his spiritual power into the cave to carefully sense everything inside.

So... how did she do it?

Could it be because of her Special Physique?

She was naturally sensitive to water, to the extent that she was sensitive to everything in the water, so much so that she needed to have a grasp on it.

Yes, that must be it.

Lin Zichen thought so silently to himself.

Just then—

"Boom!"

A piercing sound of tearing through the air exploded from behind.

Hearing this deafening noise, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan immediately looked up in the direction of the sound.

Then, three familiar figures entered their line of sight: Qin Chuan, covered in blood and fleeing in a pitiful state, and Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, who, albeit slightly injured, were teaming up to chase after Qin Chuan.

No, I purposely avoided them by such a distance, how could their battle still involve me?
