138: Hongguo Guard
“This is… the Black Dragon Clan!”
Instantly, Lin Chen’s killing intent soared.
“These clans really won’t give up!”
He still had one day to prepare.
Lin Chen then went directly to Super Base No. 1, where Bai Hong and others were gathered.
Lin Chen had set the World Defense System’s second-tier access for Bai Hong and the others, so they had also received the warning message earlier.
Bai Hong and the others looked at Lin Chen with great concern.
Bai Hong and Old Li were currently at the early Martial God stage, their strength too weak to even resist under the Transcendent Realm of the foreign races.
“Old Li, Senior Bai, these clans will only arrive in one day.”
“To be safe, you should first organize our Blue Star Human Race to evacuate from the Azure Cang Realm; I will handle the rest.”
Lin Chen’s words were filled with strong confidence.
“Alright!”
Bai Hong was a decisive person, and he knew that this was not the time to be stubborn.
“Lin Chen, you must be careful. If it truly comes to it, you must escape alone. Our Blue Star Human Race needs to continue.”
Li Yuntian said with a worried expression.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and a powerful aura flashed past.
“Old Li, don’t worry, I am very strong now. Below the Venerable Realm, no matter how many come, I will kill them all!”
Old Li and the other high-ranking Human Race officials were all startled.
The pressure emanating from Lin Chen in that instant was too strong; they felt as if they were facing an unrivaled divine Buddha.
This young man had grown too quickly, so quickly that he could now protect his entire race by himself!
“Good! Good! Good!”
Li Yuntian excitedly said “good” three times in a row.
The Human Race’s high-ranking officials also calmed down at this moment.
“Oh, and Senior Bai, I have some things for you.”
Lin Chen then took out the massive amount of resources he had acquired during the previous invasion by tens of thousands of Transcendent Realm experts.
Among them, the most valuable was the profound heaven spiritual treasure, with countless life cores and Heaven And Earth Treasure.
Bai Hong’s face flushed with excitement after just a brief Mental Energy scan.
“This is wonderful! Many of these exotic fruits can be used by Old Li and me.”
Li Yuntian, seeing this, also curiously scanned with his Mental Energy, and saw piles of Level 6 Heaven And Earth Treasure in the spatial ring!
He instantly became excited as well; with these resources, he believed he could quickly reach the late Martial God stage, or even the Half-Step Transcendence Realm, in a short amount of time!
As for the profound heaven spiritual treasure, Bai Hong and the other high-ranking Human Race officials had never even seen it… After Lin Chen had settled all matters, he left first, then immediately entered the virtual world.
It was still that incredibly vast city, with countless different races and creatures he had never seen before walking past him.
As long as one did not purchase a private space, entering the virtual world would teleport them to different cities.
Lin Chen’s purpose in entering the virtual world this time was to recruit external aid!
“Xiao Zi, I am currently a Baron. How do I mobilize a Hong Country Guard Team?”
Xiao Zi, sitting on Lin Chen’s shoulder, heard this and cutely rubbed her head, pondering for a moment.
“Master, every city in the virtual world has an official outpost of the Hong Country. You just need to find any outpost, prove your identity, and then you can apply to mobilize a Guard Team.”
Lin Chen suddenly understood, and then, guided by Xiao Zi, quickly arrived at an outpost via a small teleportation array.
It was called an outpost, but it was incredibly magnificent!
Before Lin Chen stood a towering palace that reached into the clouds, with two beings in standard armor standing guard at the palace entrance.
The aura subtly emanating from these two beings made his heart palpitate—they were Venerable Realm experts!
He took a deep breath; just an outpost, yet it had Venerable Realm experts as gatekeepers. It showed how powerful Hong Country was!
“Stop! What are you doing here?”
Suddenly, a guard spotted Lin Chen and instantly appeared before him, a terrifying aura locking onto him.
Lin Chen frowned, then took out his black Baron’s medal.
The two guards were both shocked at the sight.
A Baron?
This Human Race member looked like an ant in the Transcendent Realm, so how could he have a Baron’s medal?
One must know that in Hong Country, only Invincible Venerables were granted Baron’s medals.
“Your medal isn’t fake, is it?”
The two guards retracted their auras but still asked suspiciously.
After all, in the virtual world, it was easy to fake things.
Lin Chen chuckled softly.
“You two can verify it. My name is Lin Chen!”
The two guards were stunned. This Human Race youth was so confident; it seemed highly likely to be real.
Immediately, one guard took out a smart crystal and quickly began to search.
Their Guard Team had an internal system, and Lin Chen’s information immediately appeared.
Fifth on the Mortal Realm Ranking?
No wonder!
The guard’s expression changed. To achieve the rank of Baron while only in the Transcendent Realm, this person would surely be a significant figure in Hong Country in the future!
The two guards then exchanged a look and both approached Lin Chen with smiling faces.
“Respected Baron, we apologize for any offense earlier. Please forgive us.”
“We were merely upholding the law, and we hope Baron will not take it to heart!”
Lin Chen sneered inwardly but chose not to argue with them.
“I want to apply to mobilize a Guard Team. How do I apply?”
The two guards understood upon hearing this.
It was natural for a being like Lin Chen, who had achieved the rank of Baron while in the Transcendent Realm, to mobilize a Guard Team to display his status… Immediately, one guard respectfully led Lin Chen into the outpost.
Lin Chen followed the guard into a grand hall, which was currently empty.
“Baron, please wait a moment.”
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
A few minutes later, an old man in a cyan robe appeared.
Lin Chen noticed that the old man’s pupils flickered with five-colored light; he was actually from the Celestial God Clan!
“You are Lin Chen? The newly appointed fifth on the Mortal Realm Ranking?”
The old man looked at Lin Chen with a scrutinizing gaze.
Lin Chen frowned slightly. The Celestial God Clan had always been overbearing, and this old man certainly had the capital to be overbearing!
The old man actually wore a blue medal!
That was… a Viscount medal!
Lin Chen’s breath hitched; only Dao Realm powerhouses could be granted a Viscount medal!
Standing before Lin Chen at this moment was an invincible powerhouse of the Dao Realm!
Composing himself, Lin Chen replied neither subserviently nor arrogantly:
“Sir, I am Lin Chen. This time, I wish to mobilize a Guard Team.”
The Celestial God Clan old man nodded slightly, then smiled playfully. He didn’t even ask for the reason.
After all, a Baron of Hong Country was indeed able to mobilize a Guard Team.
“Tell me your address, and the Guard Team will arrive within a day!”
Lin Chen was delighted to hear this and immediately stated his address.
“A Mortal Realm belonging to the Red Water World? Alright, you may return.”
The Celestial God Clan old man waved his hand and said.
Lin Chen then, satisfied, directly followed the guard out of the hall.
After leaving the hall, Lin Chen found a secluded spot and opened Hong Country’s trading platform.
He wanted to sell all the Chaos Spiritual Treasures he had!
He currently possessed four low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures and one mid-grade one.
Their total value was 300 million source crystals.
He then uploaded the information for the five Chaos Spiritual Treasures, choosing expedited delivery directly, but it required a 10% handling fee!
For expedited delivery, the delivery person would travel on a spaceship with a flying speed over a thousand times faster!
This would also allow Lin Chen to create a time gap to break through to the Source Beginning Realm before the six great foreign races arrived!
Although Lin Chen’s physical body was equivalent to a Half-Step Venerable Realm, if his martial arts realm reached the Source Beginning Realm, his strength could still increase significantly!
At the Source Beginning Realm, the True Essence within the body would transform into Source Power, and the Inner World would undergo another transformation, with the power level of the World Power leaping again!
As far as Lin Chen knew, World Combat Skills at the Source Beginning Realm level could amplify combat skills by 200 times!
Combat skills?
Suddenly, Lin Chen thought of something!
He quickly opened the cultivation technique and combat skill section of the trading platform.
He saw that the lowest price for a high-grade Divine Law Combat Skill was 5 billion crystals, while a high-grade Chaos Law Combat Skill was priced at 50 billion crystals!!
