Lin Zhen certainly couldn't kill these 10 billion people. Let alone him, it was impossible for anyone to kill them all.
This was because these people weren't ordinary people. They were all martial artists with a certain level of combat strength.
It was also because of this that they felt victory was in their grasp that they boldly attacked Lin Zhen. Even if they had to pay the price of hundreds of millions of people, or even billions of lives, they would still be able to crush Lin Zhen to death!
So what if they lost a tenth of their people? They weren't necessarily that tenth.
But, they never imagined that the true killing weapon wasn't Lin Zhen, but the erupting volcano.
They had forcefully separated the magma pool from the earth's core. This was the true reason for the eruption of this disaster.
Here, Lin Zhen played the role of a guide.
When Lin Zhen's gravitational force came shrouding down and he successfully broke through the separation, the disaster occurred.
The magma that had been suppressed deep in the earth's core for several days soared into the skies, turning into a giant fire dragon that filled the skies, instantly swallowing up everything within dozens of miles!
The volcanic crater of the past had reappeared. The magma had returned!
At this time, the faster people had already reached Lin Zhen's side. They were the first batch of unlucky people.
It had to be known that not even other Immortal martial artists dared to enter this magma pool, much less these people who hadn't even reached the World King realm.
Whether it was officials, soldiers, or civilians, there was only a single ending for all of them. Dust!
Lin Zhen stood at the center of the volcano, allowing the magma to wash over him. He watched as people twisted in the magma, vaporized, and vanished. There was no joy or sorrow in his heart.
This couldn't be considered wrong. There was no absolute right or wrong in this world to begin with. Since these people wanted to take his life, then he would exterminate them.
It was nothing more than having a few more people. If one person wanted to kill you, then you had to fight back. But if a group of people wanted to kill you, would you just wait helplessly for death?
So what if there were 10 billion people? It was the same logic.
In the dozens of miles around him, there were at least 2 billion people that had gathered. But in this volcanic eruption, all of them had vanished into thin air!
Moreover, the volcanic eruption didn't end as soon as it sprayed up. The magma still had to fall down, and the area it covered was even larger!
Endless amounts of boiling lava fell into the crowd in the distance. Cries and screams could be heard. Countless people were buried in the lava forever, forever sleeping under the volcano.
The first eruption had killed more than two billion, and the subsequent descent of the lava had killed another billion.
Almost four billion people were reduced to dust just like that.
In the beginning, there were cameras, but with the eruption of the volcano, all the cameras in the vicinity were destroyed.
Some of the images were taken by people from far away. However, they were all hellish scenes of people crying for their parents. It was impossible to see how Lin Zhen was doing.
Without even looking, everyone knew that this operation to encircle and annihilate Lin Zhen was finished.
Among the billions of people who died, there were not only civilians, but more than a dozen elite troops were also buried here.
Liang Ji-hwan's operation to encircle and annihilate Lin Zhen could be considered a complete failure. Even the national strength of Southern Liang would be exhausted because of this.
In the smoke and dust, Lin Zhen's figure flashed a few times. He knew that there were still a few people who survived. They were the official immortal warriors. At this point, Lin Zhen didn't want to leave any trouble for himself. He continuously teleported to catch up with these immortal warriors and killed them one by one with a sword.
When Shi Zhonglie's screams were heard, Liang Ji-hwan, who was standing in front of the palace gate, felt his palms turn cold.
"It's over! It's all over! Shi Zhonglie is dead, the people of the Green Leaf Sect are dead, and billions of people have died. But we still haven't killed Lin Zhen. "
He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. "Is Lin Zhen my nemesis?"
Ning Qingxuan stood beside Liang Ji-hwan. She wanted to say, "Isn't all this because you asked the people to encircle and annihilate Lin Zhen?"
But she couldn't say that. She didn't know what identity she had to speak for Lin Zhen because she still couldn't remember anything.
Shi Xiaomao came to Liang Ji-hwan's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, Aunt Tie is here. Should we …?"
Shi Xiaomao's words reminded Liang Ji-hwan, and he calmed down.
Now that things had come to this, there was no turning back. Lin Zhen would be arriving at the palace soon, so he had to make the best use of his time.
"Come, follow me in!"
Liang Ji-hwan strode forward. Ning Qingxuan hesitated, but her teacher, Aunt Tie, was already behind her. She felt uneasy and had no choice but to follow Liang Ji-hwan's footsteps.
The palace gates slowly closed. The Empress's palace was being decorated. The Emperor and Empress were going to consummate their marriage, and the servants were all busy.
Aunt Tie came to the palace where the Empress was and moved a chair to sit there.
"Senior, everything here depends on you." Liang Ji-hwan said to Aunt Tie.
"Emperor, don't worry. As long as I'm here, the Southern Liang won't be able to overturn the heavens."
When Liang Ji-hwan heard this, his uneasy mood finally calmed down. He turned and walked into the Empress's palace.
Aunt Tie closed her eyes slightly and twirled a string of prayer beads in her hand. The prayer beads didn't have any light and were as dark as the night. It was unknown what kind of item it was.
One by one, the Immortal Martial Artists rushed over to protect the Empress.
However, Aunt Tie waved her hand and everyone silently retreated. They all went to the front door to block the Empress.
The Martial Artists of the Southern Liang knew that where Aunt Tie was, there was no need for other Martial Artists to appear. As the current Sect Master of the Green Leaf Sect, Aunt Tie's strength was unquestionable.
*****
The battle at the Hell Volcano was over.
In the smoke, Lin Zhen walked out with his sword.
Standing in the void, Lin Zhen sighed softly as he looked at the rapidly disappearing crowd below.
People who couldn't see through strength and couldn't distinguish right from wrong, blindly following others, why bother?
After this incident, Lin Zhen knew that his ferocious name would spread throughout the continent.
"Forget it! Whether it's fierce reputation or bad reputation, reputation is still a good thing. It can save me a lot of trouble. "
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen walked in the direction of the palace with his sword.
"Xuan 'er, I'm coming!"
After teleporting, Lin Zhen was already thousands of kilometers away!
At the landing point, people could only see a figure swaying in the air, but no one dared to say anything. They were afraid that once they said anything, Lin Zhen would really appear.
The Southern Liang people who were shouting to kill Lin Zhen were now as docile as sheep, not daring to say a word.
Even the dimensional universe, which had been bustling with noise and excitement, suddenly became quiet.
*****
"Big news, big news! The fiercest person of the Primordial Realm has appeared! "
"What do you mean by killing nine million people as a hero among heroes? Did you see the real massacre? Four billion Southern Liang people died at the hands of Lin Zhen! "
"Liang, Zhou, Wei, and other allied countries issued a joint statement, listing Lin Zhen as the number one wanted criminal and offering a sky-high bounty!"
"The strongest person in history, a super Realm King, the strongest person below the Immortal Martial Artists! I worship him! "
Rolling posts appeared on the forums of various countries.
The topic of Lin Zhen's massacre of four billion people became a hot topic in the Primordial Realm once again.
During this time, Lin Zhen's name kept appearing, and he already had a great reputation in the Primordial Realm.
Liang and other countries were shocked by this incident. At first, they thought that Southern Liang would be able to handle this matter well, but they didn't expect things to develop to this point.
Lin Zhen's massacre also shocked the world. All the allied countries related to Liang began to put Lin Zhen on the wanted list and asked their border guards to tighten their security to prevent Lin Zhen from entering the country.
They even sent experts to Southern Liang to provide support, but distant water couldn't quench the immediate thirst. The fate of Southern Liang now depended on their own people.
Countless people focused their attention on Southern Liang's palace. Lin Zhen had now left the Hell Volcano, and everyone knew that his next stop was the palace. As the emperor of Southern Liang, how would Liang Ji-hwan deal with this?
One thing was certain. If Lin Zhen's incident couldn't be resolved properly, then Liang Ji-hwan's reign as emperor would come to an end.
If he wasn't killed by Lin Zhen, he would be overthrown by the people. An emperor who couldn't even deal with a Realm King was not qualified to be emperor.
*****
In front of Southern Liang's palace, bows were nocked and swords were unsheathed. Troops of soldiers seemed to be on high alert, but in their hearts, they wanted nothing more than to turn around and run.
Numbers were enough to deal with other people, but would it be useful against Lin Zhen?
Four billion people had been annihilated, so what could they do with tens of thousands of people? Would they be left to fill the gaps between Lin Zhen's teeth?
The soldiers had even privately communicated with each other. If Lin Zhen arrived, the most they could do was wave their flags and cheer. It was absolutely impossible for them to throw their lives away as cannon fodder.
As everyone was feeling nervous, the figure in the distance gradually became clear.
Lin Zhen had arrived!
Holding the Void Cutter Divine Sword in one hand, Lin Zhen seemed to shrink the earth. With a single step, he crossed a great distance. From the moment he appeared in front of the palace, it was only a single step.
As his feet touched the ground, Lin Zhen had already arrived in front of the palace.
In front of the palace, there was a massive protective barrier that prohibited flying.
As Lin Zhen landed in front of the door, the surrounding soldiers retreated. Some of them were so frightened that they fell down on the spot. No one dared to come within ten meters of Lin Zhen.
"Open the door!"
Lin Zhen said. An officer holding the key nearly peed his pants in fright. He trembled as he reached for the key, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it out.
Lin Zhen frowned. He raised his hand and swung his sword, causing the palace door to explode with a loud bang!
The soldiers rolled and crawled as they ran far away. Lin Zhen, you can do whatever you want. We don't care.
Lin Zhen treated the thousands of soldiers and horses around him as if they were nothing and strode into the palace.
He knew where Ning Qingxuan lived. In a few seconds, he arrived at the door of Ning Qingxuan's palace.
The Hidden Moon Hall!
This was Xuan Er's residence.
Just as he was about to step in, an old woman stood up under a big tree.
"Lin Zhen! This road is blocked! "
Lin Zhen's eyes focused. He knew that the final challenge had come.
This old woman was the Sect Master of the Green Leaf Sect, Xuan Er's master, Aunt Tie. Before Xuan Er broke through to the Three Flower Realm, she was the number one expert in Southern Liang!
