Chapter 1126: Nine-Star Tian Zhu

"Nine-Star Tian Zhu?"

Hearing these words, Li Luo's heart gave a violent thump, and then a fierce desire surged forth. The Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing is the true limit of the Tian Zhu Jing; to step onto this path requires foundations and opportunities that ordinary people cannot imagine. Since arriving in the Outer Shenzhou, he had only seen Li Li Lingjing as a Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing cultivator.

Of course, with Qin Yi or General Zhao's talent and background, they should also be qualified to assault the Nine-Star Tian Zhu, but they have yet to reach this step.

And the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing is naturally Li Luo's ambition; he has been preparing and accumulating for this all along.

It is just that the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing is truly too difficult.

He had kept his "Heavenly Red Pill" unused, waiting for a perfect opportunity to launch an all-out assault.

Just like now, he had already exhausted the primordial qi within the golden water drop inside his body, yet even so, the true Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing remained out of reach.

As for that ninth Tian Zhu, let alone forming it, calling it a bud would be flattering it.

At best, it could only be counted as a tiny pinpoint of light.

"Does Senior Sister Hongyou have a way?" Li Luo asked, looking at Li Hongyou with burning eyes.

If he could reach the level of the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing, even if only temporarily, his combat power would undergo a massive leap; only then could he truly pose some threat to these Great Evil Xie.

Li Hongyou nodded slightly. She said no more, simply biting her fingertip quickly. Crimson blood flowed out, emitting a strong, strange fragrance.

Then her slender fingers slid, tracing a crimson talisman before her.

The talisman flowed slowly, and within it, golden lines seemed to wander. As soon as this talisman appeared, it drew the energy of heaven and earth swarming toward it.

The golden lines within became even more dazzling.

"This is the 'Crimson Heart Golden Talisman'. It can enhance your own Xiang power for a short time, but it requires some time to refine. I will try my best to hold off these two Great Evil Xie first. Once you have completely absorbed this 'Crimson Heart Golden Talisman', see if you can threaten the Great Evil Xie. If not, then help me pin them down a bit, and we will think of other methods," Li Hongyou said.

Then she flicked her finger. The "Crimson Heart Golden Talisman" turned into a streak of flowing light, imprinting directly into Li Luo's chest. The next instant, Li Luo immediately felt a surging torrent of heat explode within his body, which then transformed into rolling energy, pouring like a flood along his meridians.

"What surging and pure energy!"

Li Luo felt a slight shock in his heart. The "Crimson Heart Golden Talisman" clearly contained Li Hongyou's own Xiang power, yet this Xiang power brought him not the slightest sense of rejection. Instead, he could feel his three Xiang Palaces emitting a humming sound of desire.

Clearly, this was the unique aspect of Li Hongyou's Xiang nature.

Li Luo quickly gathered his mind, stood still in place, and began to hurriedly refine and absorb this external energy.

Behind him, beside the eighth Tian Zhu, that tiny pinpoint of light seemed to begin gradually becoming brighter at this very moment.

"Li Hongyou! You gave that Golden Talisman to him. I might be able to quickly counter-kill here! Why are you giving it to him!" Just as Li Luo was absorbing the energy, Yin Yue Zhiyu, who was fighting the two Great Evil Xie, couldn't help but shout softly.

Li Luo is merely a Tian Zhu Jing cultivator; in this situation, surviving is already good enough. Li Hongyou giving such an important Xiang power enhancement "Golden Talisman" to him—isn't that a waste!

Hearing this, Li Hongyou said calmly, "Your strength is greater than mine. My Golden Talisman would have limited effect if enhanced on you. Even if given to you, you might not be able to quickly counter-kill the two Great Evil Xie. Although Li Luo is only a Tian Zhu Jing cultivator, he has many methods, and the effect might not be worse than yours."

Yin Yue Zhiyu almost laughed in anger. She was fighting two opponents here, but relying on the purification effect of her Light Xiang power, she was actually vaguely gaining a slight upper hand. If she could receive enhancement from Li Hongyou, she could gradually turn this slight upper hand into a winning advantage. How could Li Luo, a Tian Zhu Jing cultivator, compare to her, even if he reached the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing?

"Hmph. You act recklessly. If this mission fails because of you, you will be the chief culprit!" Yin Yue Zhiyu had no patience to say more. With a cold shout, she mobilized her brilliant Light Xiang power to meet the two Great Evil Xie.

Actually, Yin Yue Zhiyu was not the only one who thought this way. Even Meng Zhou and Zheng Song Yunfeng from the Tianxing Academy of the Ancient Tianyuan Academy frowned slightly. Previously, Senior Zong Sha and his group, which included a student of the Xiao Tian Xiang Jing realm with a True Seal rank, had been in a wretched state relying on their numerical advantage under the attacks of the Great Evil Xie. No matter what methods Li Luo had, he was only a Tian Zhu Jing cultivator.

But at this moment, Li Hongyou had already made her decision. More words were useless, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to pin down the Great Evil Xie in front of them, which was emitting a tide of evil intent.

Li Hongyou paid no attention to everyone's doubts about her decision. After granting the "Crimson Heart Golden Talisman" to Li Luo, her own Xiang power erupted fully, transforming into a scroll of "Tian Xiang Map" above her head.

Inside, a huge Crimson Heart Zhu Fruit swayed, actually spraying out countless crimson powders. The powders drifted down and collided with the white mist filling this place, instantly melting it.

A strange fragrance drifted through the field, causing the minds of their own personnel to gradually clear, and the flow of their Xiang power became smoother by a few degrees.

Clearly, Li Hongyou had activated a range-wide enhancement.

But this effect was obviously not as good as that "Crimson Heart Golden Talisman".

Hiss!

When Li Hongyou finished these actions, a piercing shriek came from the front. The two Great Evil Xie, with their strangely twisted figures, turned into streaks of afterimages and launched a frenzied and ferocious assault directly at her.

Li Hongyou glanced at Li Luo, who was still refining the "Crimson Heart Golden Talisman", and her figure darted in another direction. At the same time, she raised her pale hand. Crimson ribbons, wrapped in rolling Xiang power, rose up like a huge crimson python to meet the two Great Evil Xie.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

An astonishing collision erupted like lightning. The void constantly trembled, triggering piercing sonic booms.

Li Hongyou alone met the two Great Evil Xie.

But it was clearly visible that Li Hongyou was struggling. After all, she was not good at offensive combat. Relying on her own Da Tian Xiang Jing Xiang power to deal with one Great Evil Xie was already her limit. Now, wanting to tie down two, she naturally quickly fell into a disadvantage.

"Let's go help!" Senior Zong Sha looked at the other two Xu Yin rank students whose conditions were still relatively good.

Hearing this, the two students gave a bitter smile, then followed Senior Zong Sha to attack, assisting Li Hongyou from the side in an attempt to relieve her pressure.

However, the effect was not very obvious. Their attacks landing on the two Great Evil Xie could hardly cause much damage to them. So the two Great Evil Xie did not pay much attention to these three flies, focusing solely on attacking Li Hongyou.

The chaotic and fierce battle continued endlessly.

Jiang Jiang Wanyu stood beside Li Luo, watching the latter with nervous eyes. At this time, all personnel with combat power on both sides had been deployed. This had undoubtedly become a stalemate; it all depended on whether a breakthrough point could appear.

And right now, here, they could probably only rely on whether Li Luo had the ability.

Although in this kind of situation, pinning high hopes on a Tian Zhu Jing cultivator seemed somewhat unrealistic, miracles always seemed to occur on Li Luo.

Under Jiang Jiang Wanyu's gaze, the Xiang power fluctuations emanating from Li Luo's body began to grow stronger and stronger. Waves of Xiang pressure constantly spreading caused Jiang Jiang Wanyu to step back several paces involuntarily.

Behind him, that ninth Tian Zhu, which had originally been just a tiny pinpoint of light, began to become increasingly dazzling and bright, showing signs of truly condensing into a bead.

"This guy."

Jiang Jiang Wanyu's eyes were somewhat complex. Back in the Spirit Xiang Cave Heaven, Li Luo's strength had not even reached hers, but now he was already far surpassing her.

The Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing was an extremely rare achievement. Looking across the entire Tianxing Academy, there probably were not more than three people who had ever achieved it.

"The ninth Tian Zhu is about to form."

Suddenly, Jiang Jiang Wanyu felt an extremely powerful pressure sweep out from Li Luo's body. Then, his slightly closed eyes slowly opened. At the same time, that ninth Tian Zhu suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance.

Nine stars slowly rotated behind Li Luo, like a divine halo.

Jiang Jiang Wanyu was slightly dazed. Li Luo's Nine-Star Tian Zhu had finally been achieved.

Although it was temporary, it also meant that Li Luo's combat power at this moment would reach a quite astonishing level.

It was just whether he could truly threaten the Great Evil Xie, which were comparable to the Da Tian Xiang Jing, that depended on Li Luo's methods.
