NOVEL WEB Chapter 509: 227. Divine Artifact
"Lin Qing?"
Within the space-time cage, the Nine Star Emperor looked coldly at Lin Qing, "You dare to come and see me with your true body?"
At a glance, he could see that Lin Qing was still merely an Ultimate Star Creature. So what if he had become a Star-level Divine Officer?
He had heard that in second-level civilizations, peerless geniuses can rival Void Creatures after obtaining a Star-level Divine Position, but even such geniuses could only rival them at best.
Although he was unqualified to contact second-level civilizations, he understood how powerful Void Creatures truly were.
"Oh? It seems you lack intelligence from second-level civilizations?" Lin Qing looked at the Nine Star Emperor with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Truly pathetic..."
His name had already spread throughout the Void Sea, and now, having passed the Star Divine Trial with full marks and becoming the new Star God, any informed second-level civilization would surely make judgments about his power.
But the Nine Star Emperor still treated him as just an ordinary Star-level Divine Officer?
"Pitiful creature..."
Lin Qing was too lazy to say more. With a swift movement, he slapped forward.
The light of the Divine Weapon condensed and collapsed, a pure darkness seemingly about to return everything to silence. Wherever the terrifying might passed, the space showed clear signs of collapsing and cracking, directly toward the Nine Star Emperor.
Simultaneously, the space-time cage that isolated everything instantly shrank, leaving no space for the opponent to dodge.
"Hmm?"
The Nine Star Emperor finally sensed something amiss, his face changing dramatically, eyes showing an incredulous panic.
"No! I..."
But it was already too late. Under his hasty defense, he felt the endless obliteration intent seemingly about to destroy everything. The space barrier he hurriedly mobilized could not withstand it, and he was struck by this terrifying annihilation force.
Silently, the Nine Star Emperor's body instantly dissolved into nothingness, along with his soul shattered in the void.
After the collapse of the inner void within, a large number of items scattered out abruptly.
Meanwhile, after killing the Nine Star Emperor with Primordial Destruction, an incomparably pure and vast Life Origin surged forth.
"Such carelessness, it saved me quite a bit of trouble."
Lin Qing's lips curved into a smile, his brow eyes moved, collecting the relics after the Nine Star Emperor's annihilation.
Actually, without unifying with the Black Flame Clone, he was only one-tenth of his unified burning strength, and he didn't use World God, so he was only mid-low in the Star Abyss Eleventh Layer.
Not much stronger than the Nine Star Emperor, but his defense was too hasty, and being trapped by the space-time cage, unable to dodge, naturally led to a fatal blow.
"Full."
At this moment, Lin Qing clearly sensed the 'experience bar' of the Emperor of Martial Arts divine position, instantly filled.
Sufficient to allow him to experience the process of Transforming Void Creatures.
Lin Qing was not in a hurry to experience it, instead forming a telekinesis projection, entering another space-time cage to meet the platinum-robed man.
"Lin Qing?"
The platinum-robed man was meditating with closed eyes, when he turned to look, his lips carrying a slight smile.
"Oh?" Lin Qing also noticed the change in attitude.
"I didn't expect a planetary civilization to give birth to a talent like you?" The platinum-robed man smiled, "Previously, I misjudged. Let me reintroduce myself, the seventy-first pillar of the Taron civilization, you may call me Xi Lin."
Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I heard you're a Void Dominator, such a big figure, how come you're so polite to someone like me who's not even a Void Creature?"
"I apologize."
The platinum-robed man said sincerely, "Previously, I was under the inertia of thought, never expecting a planetary civilization with third-level civilization remnants to produce someone like you, hoping Mr. Lin Qing will forgive me."
He shook his head, "In front of Mr. Lin Qing, how can I be considered a big figure?"
In the past, he never thought Lin Qing could pass the Star Divine Trial, considering the trial difficulty had reached an unimaginable level.
Only when the news spread did he realize the leader of this planetary civilization had already become the new Star God!
As a 2.3-level civilization, in Taron civilization's tens of billions of years of history, only three Star Gods had ever emerged.
Currently, Taron civilization didn't have a single Star God!
This was also the situation of most second-level civilizations.
Though he was a Void Dominator mastering space rules, and a Heaven Pillar Level strongman of Taron civilization, nevertheless, strongmen like him could still accumulate to more than a hundred after tens of billions of years.
But Star Gods were different, though most Star Gods could only exist for about a billion years, their status was higher than Void Dominators like him!
Nowadays, for a Divine Artifact, Taron civilization had to ask other civilizations' Star Gods to help forge!
Facing a Star God, he had no face to call himself a big figure.
Even though Earth was just a planetary civilization now, with a Star God's help, it would eventually become a second-level civilization!
"Mr. Xi Lin wants me to let this avatar of yours go?" Lin Qing scrutinized him.
"Not at all."
The platinum-robed man gently shook his head and said, "I know, having done wrong, one should bear the consequences. I will voluntarily dissipate this avatar, and the treasures it carries will be a gift of apology to Mr. Lin Qing."
He wisely did not propose other compensations.
Because he understood, new compensations required sending gifts to Earth, but this civilization and the current Star God were too weak to receive it without time-space concealment, otherwise providing multiple second-level civilizations an opportunity.
