The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

As the chimpanzee continued to exert its strength, the people underground who were preparing to escape discovered that all the passages ahead were collapsing.

They had nowhere to escape.

"This area isn't sealed off yet, escape this way!"

"Oh no, why is it locked down as soon as we arrived?"

In their struggle, the Lin family members discovered a despairing truth.

The beast king on the ground seemed to be able to sense their location and accurately intercepted them; wherever they went, the passage collapsed.

Left with no other choice, except for a few adventurers who were still looking for other ways to break through, most of the Lin family members had retreated to the main base, attempting a desperate last stand.

"We can't escape? Fine."

Lin Zongyao looked at the group of people who had returned and gave a desolate smile.

He recalled the excitement he felt when he first discovered the Eminem virus a few years ago. All the wonderful words like longevity, health, and power seemed to beckon them, and it seemed that what the ancients had sought for thousands of years was about to be realized in their hands.

As a result, a virus leak caused everything to slide into an irreversible abyss.

The end of humanity arrived at a speed beyond anyone's imagination.

Now, even the Lin family is facing annihilation under the fangs of the mutated beasts.

Yesterday's cause, today's effect.

"No, we still have Teng'er. He will definitely survive, carry on the Lin family's glory, and rise again in D City."

Lin Zongyao instinctively tried not to think about whether Chu Junhui, whom the mysterious person claimed could rival the Beast King, was someone Lin Teng could actually handle, given that a single Beast King could wipe them out today.

"What is that?"

"It looks like a person?"

Just then, in the surveillance footage, the blue behemoth covered in spikes like short swords and clad in gray armor suddenly retreated and picked up a bloodied man from the distant wilderness.

"What is it going to do now, and who is that person?"

Lin Zongyao suddenly had a bad feeling, which made him sit up abruptly.

Ji Chen walked to a clean area, looked around, and said calmly:

"I know you little bugs can see, and my patience is limited. I hope you can come to see me immediately, otherwise, it won't just be those escape routes that will be damaged next."

"Oh, right, this little dying bug in my hand seems to be one of yours too, I think its name is something like Lin, yes, Lin Teng."

The command room was deathly silent.

"It can talk, and it seems to understand our technology?"

"No, it just said who it had in its hands, Lin Teng? Lin Teng wasn't going to... ..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zongyao, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly felt a blackout before his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then lost consciousness.

"Master!"

Amidst the panic, the distraught Lin family members still managed to select a group to go to the surface and negotiate with the beast king.

Ji Chen stood on the ground, waiting quietly.

He knew that the Lin family members, having exhausted all other options, would eventually leave the base and accept his terms.

A moment later, a passage appeared a kilometer away. The Lin family members, dressed in protective suits, slowly walked out and approached Ji Chen.

"Your Majesty, what has our Lin family done to offend you? If you require food, our Lin family is willing to compensate you with a sufficient amount."

Ji Chen looked down and saw that the speaker was a well-known old man from the Lin family.

"I was merely taking a stroll here when you indiscriminately bombarded me, nearly killing me. Doesn't that offend me?"

"But... just like you beasts, powerful beasts have their own territories. You have come to our Lin family's territory. Isn't our counterattack an instinct of a lord?"

The old man had conducted in-depth research on the mutated beasts of today and knew the rules governing them, so his answer was watertight.

But no matter how flawless their answer, they still don't have the power to speak.

"Um?!"

Ji Chen released a slight aura, pressing everyone in front of him, including the old man, to the ground, and coldly snorted:

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?! There's no trace of your presence here, no markers for your territory. There are plenty of mutated beasts in the ground. Does that mean we mutated beasts on the surface have to avoid them just because we're in the same area?!"

"The birds in the sky don't care about the beasts on the ground, but you little insects are sticking your noses out quite a bit!"

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The Lin family members, who were so overwhelmed by Ji Chen's imposing aura that they were practically spitting blood, could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.

"Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Your Majesty, please make any requests you may have. We will do our best to fulfill them."

Ji Chen stared intently at him.

"You humans have a peculiar skill called Secret Weapon, which is very interesting. I demand that you hand over to me all the knowledge and information you have about Secret Weapon, down to the smallest detail."

Secret weapon?!

Whether they were negotiating on the surface or eavesdropping underground, the Lin family members all felt a sense of unease.

How did this giant beast know about something called Secret Weapon?

Moreover, is the Secret Weapon really that important? Why are even mutated beasts pursuing it?

Countless doubts churned in their minds, but in the end, all they could say was, "No problem, the Lin family can do it."

"only... ..."

It was the same old man, his face pale, who asked the question that all the Lin family members were concerned about:

"Your Majesty, why is Lin Teng of our Lin family in your hands? Has he offended you?"

"Him... ..."

Ji Chen tossed the blood-soaked figure in his hand twice like a coin, before revealing his snow-white fangs under the worried gazes of the Lin family:

"I know the lord of D City. This kid overestimated himself and tried to cause trouble for D City, so naturally I had to deal with him. What, you have a problem with that?"

No, no.

The Lin family members hurriedly waved their hands, feeling as if they had encountered the worst luck of eight lifetimes today. Not only did their operation against D City fail, but their stronghold was also wiped out.

Yes, they were already convinced that Ji Chen had come to cause trouble.

"Since you don't have it, then get out of here and bring Mi Wu here. If you can't satisfy me, then you can all die."

With a low roar, Ji Chen flung them all away, sweeping them into the passageway.

Half an hour later, Ji Chen received the secret martial arts school knowledge and various analytical information from the Lin family.

The Lin family didn't play any tricks after all; the information they provided was quite complete, and it was clear that they were of a high standard.

The martial arts systems that Mi Wu and Ji Chen knew had many similarities, but each also had its own unique characteristics.

Its concept is to explore the unfathomable "hidden treasure" of the human body itself, to cultivate and become stronger by constantly breaking the limits of the human body, and to evolve into a more powerful and inhuman form.

The ultimate goal of Miwu is to pursue something "inhuman".

In Ji Chen's understanding, this kind of "non-human" is more of a result of martial artists being dissatisfied with the status quo and wanting to evolve towards a higher level of life. However, since there are no superhuman species in human form in this world, they can only turn to the non-human overlord races that have appeared in history.

Ji Chen, with his ample knowledge of superpowers, naturally looked down on this point. Instead, he was quite interested in the methods used to cultivate willpower during the training of secret martial arts.

The threshold for becoming a fighter in this world, that is, after reaching the limits of the human body, requires a strong will to drive a breakthrough in physical strength.

When hearts are in harmony, spirits soar.

Spirit and vitality capture form, giving birth to a new life.
