Chapter 296: The Longest 72 Hours

Chapter 296: The Longest 72 Hours

Jiren, a man rumored to be even more powerful than the God of Destruction in the original work.

Just standing there, he put immense pressure on Lin Chen.

Through the system, Lin Chen could clearly see Jirens current power.

Jiren, Power Level: 30 billion!

Divine Realm: Beginner Second Level!

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldnt help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

According to Chronoa, Jiren at this moment has obtained the power transcending time and space. He, who shouldnt have grown stronger yet, now possesses absolute strength.

This strength, originally obtained by Jiren through years of rigorous training after his masters death, has now appeared in advance.

Not to mention that the 30 billion Power Level might just be Jirens normal state power; he still has a combat form he hadnt used yet.

Divine Realm Beginner Second Level; this had already surpassed Beeruss level!

Could he, a mere mortal, hold his own against someone even the God of Destruction couldnt defeat?

Lin Chen took a look at his own stats.

Host: Lin Chen.

Power Level: 35.8 million.

Divine Realm: Intermediate First Level.

The disparity was unusually big.

Although Lin Chens current Power Level might allow him to compete in a pure Power Level contest with Jiren, he had already learned that, after entering the Divine Realm, Power Level was no longer the key determinant of strength; the hierarchy within the Divine Realm was.

To put it bluntly, even a child with a Power Level of just 10,000, if they have grasped the Divine Realm, could easily kill Final Form Frieza!

Those who have grasped the Divine Realm are in a league of their own. The difference between them and those who dont is vast.

Lin Chen still remembered that in the original work, Merus, Whis brother, had trained in the mortal world and become a member of Universe 7s Galactic Patrol.

Despite his weak aura and the need for technological assistance to fly, his mastery of Ultra Instinct and the Divine Realm far surpassed Goku, allowing him to defeat even Super Saiyan Blue Goku with a single blow.

So, despite Lin Chens slightly better max Power Level compared to Jiren, the difference in their actual strength was immense.

At this moment, Jiren had already walked up to Lin Chen and was scrutinizing him, his crimson eyes brimming with killing intent.

Who are you? Why did you attack me just now?

I

Lin Chen was still thinking of an excuse when he saw Jirens eyes widen.

His gaze fell upon the tail behind Lin Chen.

Youre just like that demon! Are you working together?

Roarrrrrrrrrrr!

Suddenly, an explosive power emanated from Jiren. Instead of dispersing in all directions, this power was controlled and enveloped his body, as if he had wrapped himself in a cloak of flames.

In the next moment, Jiren ferociously swung his fist.

Although this fist was at least a dozen meters away from Lin Chen, an invisible punch suddenly struck Lin Chen.

Lin Chen couldnt block the overwhelming force and was sent flying.

Whoosh!

Jirens figure flickered, achieving almost teleportation as he appeared behind Lin Chen in an instant.

He raised his hand and punched again!

But this time, Lin Chen also used Instant Transmission, putting some distance between himself and Jiren.

However, before he could relax after dodging Jirens near-fatal blow, Jiren raised his hand again, launching a powerful energy blast.

Lin Chen raised his hands to block, but he realized that this energy blast, while unimpressive in appearance, was several times more powerful than his own Explosive Wave. Even in his current Legendary Super Saiyan 2 form, he couldnt withstand it!

Theres no other choice!

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, and his aura underwent a drastic change.

Then, the next moment, Lin Chens hair lengthened, and his originally yellow-green hair turned black. There was a deep, divine aura about him.

This was Lin Chens own Super Saiyan God, half-a-step Black God Form!

In this form, Lin Chens Power Level had already exceeded 15 billion!

But this wasnt his limit.

Super Kaio-Ken!

In the next moment, a fiery red aura surrounded Lin Chen, and his Power Level surpassed 30 billion, now exceeding that of Jiren!

However, Jiren in the distance showed no fear. Instead, his gaze became even angrier, his fists clenched tightly.

You look just as I thought! Youre working with that demon!

What?

Before Lin Chen could react, Jiren suddenly raised both hands, and a massive energy sphere, comparable to Gokus Spirit Bomb, condensed between his palms.

Whoosh!

The enormous energy sphere rapidly shot toward Lin Chen. Even before it approached, Lin Chen could feel the terrifying power within it.

Kamehameha!

Lin Chen, unwilling to be outdone, immediately launched a counterattack. However, to his astonishment, his Kamehameha was swallowed up by the energy sphere, not even producing a splash.

Lin Chens Power Level was clearly better; this should not have happened.

But soon, Lin Chen detected something peculiar. Within Jirens energy sphere, he sensed the presence of the Power of Laws!

No time to waste!

Lin Chens figure flickered, and he once again used Instant Transmission to try to escape.

Seeing this, Jiren shook his head with a smile, and he waved his hand. The energy sphere changed direction in mid-air, suddenly flying towards a different direction and then exploding in mid-air.

Boom!

After the energy sphere detonated, it unleashed an extremely intense shockwave.

The shockwave surprisingly contained Power of Laws.

This power traversed space, directly knocking Lin Chen out of his Instant Transmission state.

Lin Chen was greatly alarmed. Jiren!

Youre an accomplice of that demon!

A sonic boom resounded as Jiren seized the opportunity when Lin Chen appeared to charge at him.

Explosions of fists and kicks continued, and within moments, Lin Chen had taken several heavy blows and was almost on the verge of losing consciousness.

Every battle was a life-and-death struggle. This was the combat philosophy Jiren had learned from his master. Coupled with his deep anger towards the one responsible for his masters death, Jiren showed no mercy.

However, just seconds later, Lin Chen could hardly hold on any longer.

At this point, Jiren voluntarily stopped. You are not my match. My target is your accomplice. Ill spare you for now.

Saying this, Jiren was about to turn away, but Lin Chen used Instant Transmission to appear in front of him.

Sorry, but I cant let you go now!

Lin Chen clenched his teeth, enduring the pain in his body. In just a few minutes, he was already feeling dizzy. Was this the power of Jiren, a formidable opponent even the God of Destruction dared not confront directly?

The disparity was so great that, aside from completing the mission the system had given him, even the task of correcting history seemed daunting.

Lin Chen, hang in there. In five more minutes, that culprit should be able to escape completely, and by then, Jiren wont be able to catch up!

Lin Chen heard Chronoas voice, but he wore a bitter smile.

Chronoa-sama, how long will Jirens power last?

Why are you asking? Based on my calculations, his power will last for at least 72 hours! But of course, you dont have to wait that long. Just five more minutes

Lin Chen couldnt bear to listen to the rest of Chronoas words.

72 hours.

This was probably going to be the longest 72 hours of Lin Chens life!
