Chapter 660: Chapter 662: Strong Woman
There wasn’t much difference between the starry sky of the Original World and the New World, other than having more planets, and constellations almost as dense as a chessboard. Due to mutual gravitational pull, celestial bodies would sometimes deviate from their orbits, making wandering meteorites and shooting stars quite common.
The Original World couldn’t enter the parallel universe, and with all the irregularly flying meteorites, large spaceships lacked room to accelerate. Entering the parallel universe was simply looking for death.
Ning Qingxuan’s excitement didn’t last long. After changing tactics, she began to use her powerful Star Power to unleash Sword Qi, putting Lin Zhen back on the defensive.
Luckily avoiding a Sword Qi attack, Lin Zhen watched it fly forward, hitting a massive meteorite a few kilometers in diameter, smashing it to pieces and leaving him speechless.
“Chris, has the planet you mentioned arrived yet?”
“It has arrived, Master. Feel it behind you.”
From the distant starry sky, a powerful pressure came rushing towards him!
This feeling was like the one he had when using his Satellite Fall technique.
Only now, the pressure was far greater than the Satellite Fall, countless times stronger! There must be a massive planet coming straight towards him!
A pinpoint of light in front of him quickly enlarged, growing larger and larger, making Lin Zhen believe for a moment that it was a constant star.
However, constant stars didn’t wander around. It wasn’t until he was close to a few million kilometers from the planet that Lin Zhen looked in horror to see that the enormous planet was entirely made of Permanent Crystals!
On Earth, Permanent Crystals were incredibly valuable, having extremely hard properties and being more radiant than diamonds.
But in the Original World, they weren’t worth much. Still, seeing a gigantic celestial body, with a diameter no smaller than Earth and composed entirely of Permanent Crystals, broadened Lin Zhen’s horizons.
Seeing Ning Qingxuan stop attacking in front of him, Lin Zhen knew he had to escape. Otherwise, once the effects of the Divine Power Elixir disappeared, his Star Power would be nothing in her eyes.
As Lin Zhen evaded the impact of the planet, he suddenly felt the killing intent behind him disappear.
Looking back in midair, he saw Ning Qingxuan riding a Five-Colored Deer, standing silently in the void, staring at the giant planet in front of her, her face showing a hint of determination.
“What is she doing? Is she giving up on killing me and planning to crash into the planet instead?”
“Master, can you use your brain a little? If not for the arrival of this planet, you’d probably be dead by now. Do you think she’d impulsively crash into it?”
“What does she want to do then?”
“According to the information I just got from the planet detector, this Permanent Crystal Planet will eventually fall on the Nan Liang Capital if it continues to plummet. The detector has already sent out information to get someone from Nan Liang to change the planet’s falling direction, otherwise, this disaster will be catastrophic. By now, they should have started organizing evacuation plans in Nan Liang, but it’s not an easy task to move so many people. Many will die this time!”
Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment. This was a huge planet, larger than Earth and hundreds of times heavier.
If this thing really crashed onto the ground, not many in Nan Liang’s Capital would survive.
How many people were in Nan Liang’s Capital? Almost equivalent to a low-level Universe Country.
How long would it take to evacuate the entire Milky Way?
Lin Zhen didn’t know the exact time, but it definitely wouldn’t be done quickly. This disaster was almost inevitable.
At that moment, Lin Zhen understood Ning Qingxuan’s thoughts.
This woman wanted to change the direction of the planet!
Destroying the planet was almost impossible, but if she could change its direction, at least the Nan Liang Capital wouldn’t be hit by the planet.
At that moment, Lin Zhen had a sudden admiration for Ning Qingxuan.
There was no doubt that this woman had a lofty moral character, which was already rare among Martial Artists.
Young Martial Artists would have some hot-bloodedness, striving for justice, and fighting against the strong to protect the weak. Almost everyone might have done that when starting out.
But as their cultivation deepened, Martial Artists who valued personal strength no longer cared about those things. As long as they could enhance their power, they were willing to use any means necessary.
Trying to change the direction of this planet wasn’t an easy task. Ordinary Martial Artists wouldn’t even try, as it was extremely dangerous.
Moreover, Lin Zhen, the embodiment of evil, was still in front of Ning Qingxuan. Being able to temporarily put aside her hatred and focus on this task was truly not something ordinary people could do.
Lin Zhen once again summoned the Double-headed Demon Dragon to race into the distance while looking back. In the void, he saw Ning Qingxuan’s slim figure standing there, facing the giant planet.
The planet charged down with an unstoppable momentum, but Ning Qingxuan recalled the Five-Colored Deer and began to slowly wield her sword.
“Hey! If you don’t chase me now, I’ll get away!”
Lin Zhen shouted at Ning Qingxuan in the distance. She glanced at Lin Zhen, her eyes revealing hatred, grief, and unwillingness, but she stubbornly didn’t move.
“What an idiot!” Lin Zhen no longer cared about Ning Qingxuan’s life or death and drove the Double-headed Demon Dragon to flee into the distance.
The immense pressure from the falling planet made the space hiss, and when Lin Zhen ran out of the planet’s descent path, he even saw a long trail behind the planet, which was the spatial crack torn by the celestial body – incredibly huge.
In the distant starry sky, Ning Qingxuan’s star power surged, growing stronger and stronger. Her small body exploded with unimaginable power, like a bright moon in the sky!
“Hah~!”
A crisp yell rang out, and the sword light, like a rainbow streaking across the sky, tore through hundreds of thousands of kilometers of space, and blasted the Permanent Crystal Planet from afar!
Even though Lin Zhen had already run hundreds of thousands of kilometers in such a short period, he still felt the intense shaking of the space!
“Chris! Can you analyze if the trajectory of the Permanent Crystal Planet has changed?”
“Master, after calculations, the trajectory of the Permanent Crystal Planet has deviated by about three centimeters!”
“Three centimeters? What use is that?”
“It’s very useful. Although the Nan Liang Capital is huge, if we can make the planet deviate by thirty kilometers within a hundred million kilometers, it will bypass the capital range when it falls to the ground. If it deviates by fifty kilometers, the capital will suffer no damage!”
Lin Zhen was a little speechless. The difference between three centimeters and thirty kilometers was way too big. How long would it take to make the planet deviate at this rate?
He had also heard of some methods in the Original World to change the trajectory of a planet and had set up many detectors in the sky. But this planet was different, constructed entirely of Permanent Crystal, which made it fly faster, undestroyable, and even difficult to deviate.
Nan Liang was unprepared, and this disaster seemed almost unavoidable.
Ning Qingxuan, however, was not disturbed. Facing the huge planet coming head-on, she quickly retreated and swung another sword qi!
“Boom~!”
With a dull impact sound, the planet deviated again by about three centimeters.
Over and over she swung her sword, her attacks skillful, targeting only a single point on the side of the Permanent Crystal Planet, never wasting any extra energy. Although each strike wasn’t the strongest, she maintained a consistent output as much as possible.
However, after all, this was a colossal celestial body, and whoever faced it couldn’t last for too long.
Lin Zhen did not take advantage of this opportunity to leave; instead, he slowly followed the trajectory of the falling planet, watching Ning Qingxuan swinging her long sword time and time again, unleashing powerful sword qi and confronting the gigantic planet.
“Master, with each swing of her sword, she can save at least hundreds of thousands of people. She must not be doing this for the first time!”
“Yes, she is a very stubborn and powerful woman.”
Chris continued, “However, I can feel that her power is rapidly depleting. In about fifteen minutes and twenty seconds, she will have to dodge, or else she will ultimately perish under the impact of the planet collision.”
Lin Zhen remained silent, having a feeling that this woman might not dodge.
Sword qi surged like a storm, with as many as a dozen attacks per second, fully demonstrating Ning Qingxuan’s strength to Lin Zhen.
Ten minutes quickly passed!
The gravitational force of the Original World was enormous, and the speed of meteors far exceeded those observed on Earth. The planet was advancing at a high speed of hundreds of kilometers per second, much faster than missiles.
Ning Qingxuan kept retreating, swinging her sword, retreating again, and swinging her sword again.
After ten minutes, she had launched countless attacks, and even with her great power, she found it hard to withstand such consumption.
Sweat soaked her clothes, clinging to her curvy body, her jade-white face drained of color, and her hair tightly plastered to her face.
Her star power had grown extremely dim, and even though she was in the Longevity Realm, she couldn’t single-handedly fight a huge planet.
In the past, such things had been done by groups of Longevity Warriors together, never before had someone alone faced a planet.
“Swish, swish, swish~!”
Despite the danger, three more swords were swung. Unable to suppress it any longer, she lowered her head, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto her clothes, like plum blossoms.
Watching Ning Qingxuan’s tragic actions, Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly.
“Master, are you planning on being the hero to save the beauty? Or saving countless lives? Being a chivalrous person for the country and the people?” Chris said excitedly, seemingly eager for Lin Zhen to do such a thing.
Lin Zhen snorted through his nostrils, “I’ve done that before. In the New World, I saved my homeland and Earth. But unfortunately, the Original World is not my home, and my loved ones are not here, so I don’t have that sentiment.”
“Why don’t you leave, then?”
Lin Zhen smiled, “Don’t you think this opportunity is rare? A huge planet falling from the sky is precisely the ultimate move of my Star Fall Five Skill – Planet Fall. If I can learn this move, coupled with Star Energy Transfer and the Divine Power Pills, I can battle the Longevity Warriors too.”
Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power spread out, oblivious to Ning Qingxuan’s injured persistence, he began to wholeheartedly comprehend.
He wanted to seize this opportunity to learn Planet Fall!
