Chapter 263: Breaking Through to the Fourth Tier

"Sixth Tier!"

Feeling the change in the Daoist-robed man's aura, Xu Jin was also shocked.

His first reaction was, is the Worship-Battle Divine Sect this awesome?

Actually being able to break through the heaven and earth limit of this star domain.

Creatures within a Fourth-Tier star domain, whether native or outsider, have the Fifth-Tier peak as their limit and cannot break through to the Sixth Tier.

But the Daoist-robed man before his eyes...

Suddenly, the Fifth-Tier Fire Spirit Heart in Xu Jin's Middle Shang Xinggong trembled; it was the circle of heaven and earth will unique to the Guards Huo Yun star domain trembling slightly.

As the heaven and earth will of the Guards Huo Yun star domain trembled, the Daoist-robed man's aura, which had just reached the Sixth Tier, instantly fell.

But the instant it fell, star light was replenished, and it immediately recovered to the level of barely Sixth Tier.

Constantly being shaved off, constantly recovering.

Xu Jin understood in an instant.

The star power within the Star-Battle True God divine statue seemed endless.

Xu Jin looked at this scene, but he was in a dilemma.

Various situations from when he rescued Jiang Er on Autumn Leaf Island earlier surfaced.

Xu Jin still remembered that the Shang Xinggong of the Worship-Battle Star Sect originally relied on the seal to mobilize the star power within the divine statue, and could resist the Academy Head and others until the connection was broken, only then being killed.

And now, this Star Official was standing in front of the divine statue.

From this point of view, the star power of this Worship-Battle Divine Sect Star Official was endless as long as he stood under the divine statue.

At least for a short time.

Moreover, the Worship-Battle Divine Sect Star Official before his eyes was clearly much stronger than the previous one, and even the light of the Star Official seal was more intense.

Heaven knows if there were any other weird explosive means.

Therefore, Xu Jin felt there was no need to take risks.

If he was going to do it, he might as well give this guy a ruthless one!

"Looks like you are the expert in the Fire Spirit King's mouth, huh?"

Xu Jin approached slowly; to prevent accidents, the Fish Curtain Golden Bell had already emerged.

"Are you the reinforcements invited by the Fire Spirit King? Isn't that guy already dead?" Star Official Zhu Wenhai shouted.

Like Xu Jin, he also had the intention of fishing for information; of course, there were other meanings.

"The Fire Spirit King is indeed dead!

But do you know how he died?" Xu Jin asked with a smile, and approached another ten meters or so.

"How did he die?" Star Official Zhu Wenhai asked.

"I killed him!"

"You? How is that possible!"

Zhu Wenhai realized his mistake as soon as he said this; the young man before his eyes had just continuously wiped out Fifth-Tier Eighth-Layer experts before his eyes, which was also the fundamental reason why he was incomparably wary and was borrowing the might of the Star-Battle True God at this moment.

If he were really just a Third-Tier Refine Star Ninth-Layer guy, he would have rushed up and pinched him to death countless times already.

"Don't believe it?"

Xu Jin sneered and advanced another few dozen meters.

"Of course, just based on your cultivation." Zhu Wenhai sneered, very cooperatively showing a look of surprise.

It could be said that both he and Xu Jin were calculating each other at this very moment.

"Then you'll know right away."

"What?"

Amidst Zhu Wenhai's confusion, Xu Jin advanced slowly for another few dozen meters.

And at this very instant, Star Official Zhu Wenhai's gaze moved suddenly; he had entered his attack range.

In an instant, the Star Official seal above his head flashed with light, drawing a massive amount of star power from within the Star-Battle True God divine statue, intending to blast Xu Jin to death in one go.

And at the same instant, Xu Jin, who had been paying attention to the Star Official seal and discovered the change in its light, had his thunder wings explode behind him.

Boom!

In an instant, he crossed a distance of five hundred meters and appeared behind the side of Star Official Zhu Wenhai.

Purple Lei Hong.

The instant purple thunder appeared above Star Official Zhu Wenhai's head, the massive amount of star power drawn by Zhu Wenhai using the seal also instantly blasted past the place where Xu Jin had flashed.

That massive power fluctuation also gave Xu Jin a shock.

Very strong!

Stronger than the full-force strike of a Fifth-Tier peak expert.

At the same instant, the purple thunder blasted down, but the instant it did, the star light seal above Zhu Wenhai's head suddenly drew a large amount of star light from the Star-Battle True God divine statue, instantly condensing into a star light vortex.

The purple thunder disappeared silently.

Star light rose again.

The Bright Discipline Star Pattern in the Lower Shang Xinggong also flickered to the extreme.

This was a warning.

Star light condensed and emerged on the Star Official seal again.

Xu Jin did not hesitate to flash away again.

He dared not take an attack exceeding the Sixth Tier head-on.

Although he wouldn't be blasted to death, before Xu Jin found a strategy to break the enemy, this Star Official's terrifying attacks could come one after another.

Precisely dodging an attack, as Xu Jin turned, he did not hesitate to use the divine soul star art—Startling Dream!

A massive divine soul fluctuation rose.

Sensing the divine soul fluctuation rising from Xu Jin, Star Official Zhu Wenhai sneered.

What he feared least was divine soul attacks.

The next instant, Zhu Wenhai's divine soul only fluctuated for a moment before returning to normal.

At the same time, Xu Jin also sensed the divine soul fluctuation of the Shang Xinggong before him clearly.

Fourth-Tier peak!

Damn it, is this guy a freak!

His divine soul cultivation was actually the same rank as the Grand Master's.

But it wasn't strange.

Guarding a star domain, leading tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to worship the Star-Battle, and obtaining massive amounts of divine soul power, it wasn't too difficult a thing.

High divine soul cultivation was relatively normal.

Ordinary divine soul star arts were useless.

Xu Jin did not hesitate to use Killing Dream!

As the two passed each other and their eyes met, Killing Dream was activated!

The world changed, and both fell into the Killing Dream dreamscape.

Just like the previous situation, Xu Jin looked like a god, weaving and controlling the dreamscape, guiding the might of heaven and earth to blast this Shang Xinggong.

As long as this Star Official was killed in Killing Dream, this Star Official would truly be dead.

But what made Xu Jin feel bad was that this Star Official had actually brought his Star Official seal into the dreamscape.

That is to say, this Star Official seal was an object thoroughly refined and controlled by his divine soul.

This would be an uncontrollable variable for Xu Jin in this dreamscape.

Plus, this Star Official's divine soul cultivation was stronger than Xu Jin's to begin with.

Thunder blasted down, and Star Official Zhu Wenhai's figure dissolved rapidly.

When Zhu Wenhai was terrified, he hurriedly activated the Star Official seal to block the thunder.

However, the thunder went straight through the Star Official seal and blasted onto his head again.

This made Zhu Wenhai extremely surprised.

This is impossible!

The Star Official seal is a Sixth-Tier star weapon inherited by the Worship-Battle Divine Sect for thousands of years, how could it fail!

That...

The instant Star Official Zhu Wenhai reacted, Xu Jin actively exited the Killing Dream dreamscape.

The next instant, Xu Jin activated his fire-type power to the extreme.

Dazzling Purple Heaven Fire.

Fire Spirit Heart.

Red Dragon Thumb Ring.

Protection Star Pattern obtained from the Arena Platform's enshrinement.

Spiral Flame Explosion blasted out!

Before the flame explosion hit his body, Star Official Zhu Wenhai also fell from the dreamscape, and the Star Official seal drew a massive amount of star light from within the Star-Battle True God in time, blocking Xu Jin's flame explosion.

Amidst the flashing flame light, star power was constantly consumed, and then constantly drawn from within the Star-Battle True God divine statue to replenish it.

Until Xu Jin's attack was worn away.

Xu Jin looked sullen.

This fight was very stifling.

The guy before his eyes had a very strong divine soul, but he wasn't invincible.

Xu Jin's fire-type star arts were strong enough.

But this guy had his back against the Star-Battle True God divine statue, just like carrying a super-large-capacity blood bag, making him unkillable.

It could be said that as long as he didn't leave the Star-Battle True God divine statue, and as long as the star power stored within the Star-Battle True God divine statue wasn't exhausted, Xu Jin couldn't kill him.

Xu Jin wasn't afraid of a star power contest.

He still had over ten thousand strands of star light in his Arena Platform.

But this was an alien star domain; the longer the battle lasted, the easier it was to attract variables.

And Xu Jin couldn't guess how much star power was stored within this Star-Battle True God divine statue.

In an instant, many tactics flashed through Xu Jin's mind, but the chances of winning were not high.

Then, there was only one way!

Overload!

Overload him!

The Star-Battle True God divine statue possessed massive amounts of star power, but the Shang Xinggong before his eyes could only draw a limited amount of star power per unit of time.

The next instant, Xu Jin, who was moving at high speed to dodge attacks, suddenly approached Star Official Zhu Wenhai again; the moment he approached, a Fifth-Tier-plus emblem he had nurtured, Fierce Light, blasted out.

Boom!

The scorching light like a fierce sun instantly swallowed Star Official Zhu Wenhai.

Xu Jin was expectant!

But a second later, the fierce light dissipated, and Star Official Zhu Wenhai emerged from the daylight, looking slightly disheveled, the Star Official seal's light dim, but Star Official Zhu Wenhai was unharmed. Xu Jin frowned!

Star Official Zhu Wenhai immediately activated the Star Official seal again to draw a large amount of star power from the divine statue to protect himself.

The instant star power covered his surroundings, Star Official Zhu Wenhai calmed down and sneered again, "You even used a Sixth-Tier emblem; if you have the ability, blast out a Seventh-Tier emblem!

If you can't, today is your death day!"

While speaking, he activated the Star Official seal again to guide a massive amount of star light toward Xu Jin.

Xu Jin didn't speak, sensing carefully with the Bright Discipline Star Pattern, and carefully dodging Zhu Wenhai's Star Official bombardment.

After dodging two attacks, Xu Jin found another opportunity.

He flashed to the side of Star Official Zhu Wenhai, and an emblem he had been holding for a long time in his hand suddenly blasted out.

Sixth-Tier-plus emblem: Great Sun!

Nurtured!

The next instant, a blinding small sun erupted above Star Official Zhu Wenhai's head, and then instantly exploded to the extreme.

The erupting scorching light made Xu Jin feel like he didn't dare to look directly at it!

"Seventh Tier? How is this poss..."

The exclamation instantly turned into a scream, the kind of scream that sounded bone-chilling.

The scorching light of the Great Sun lasted for one breath, and the scream lasted for one breath.

The scorching light of the Great Sun dissipated, and the first thing to appear was that Star Official seal.

It was dim to the extreme, but it was still exuding hazy star light, protecting Star Official Zhu Wenhai's only remaining part—his head!

Star Official Zhu Wenhai had disappeared from the neck down.

He should have been burned to ash by the nurtured Sixth-Tier-plus Great Sun emblem.

Only his head remained.

The Star-Battle True God divine statue had previously been brilliant with star light and surging with star power, but at this very moment, it also became quite dim!

Star Official Zhu Wenhai, with only a head left, actually didn't die.

At this time, he barely opened his eyes, looking at Xu Jin with extreme resentment.

Swish!

The next instant, a sword light flashed fiercely, breaking out from the back of Star Official Zhu Wenhai's head.

Xu Jin was afraid that the Star Official supported by the Star-Battle True God divine statue's star power wouldn't die, so he had long prepared it for him.

The Moon-Covering Sword had long been circling and waiting behind him.

At this moment, it pierced through his head with one sword.

The instant he was pierced through the head, a look of despair and fear appeared in Zhu Wenhai's eyes, and a primordial spirit prototype instantly jumped out from his broken head, intending to flee.

Xu Jin was familiar with dealing with primordial spirits!

Boom!

Purple thunder blasted down.

Zhu Wenhai's primordial spirit, which was about to flee, was instantly blasted to a standstill, and Xu Jin rushed over, intending to capture Zhu Wenhai's primordial spirit alive.

As long as he captured Zhu Wenhai's primordial spirit alive, Xu Jin could use Wen Meng to interrogate a lot of useful information.

Including Zhu Wenhai's background, how long he had been in this star domain.

How he got in, the relationships behind him, etc., and even a lot of the details of the Worship-Battle Divine Sect could also be interrogated.

But the next instant, Xu Jin became stunned.

The primordial spirit of Star Official Zhu Wenhai, which was trapped by his divine soul hand, actually began to disintegrate.

Disintegrating inch by inch.

In the time of one breath, it quickly dissipated into nothingness.

Xu Jin initially thought it was some kind of self-destruction method of the Worship-Battle Divine Sect.

But seeing the process of this Star Official primordial spirit's disintegration, he understood.

It wasn't any self-destruction method at all.

It was that the primordial spirit was unstable and collapsed.

This Star Official Zhu Wenhai's own divine soul cultivation was only Fourth-Tier peak, just like the previous Second Elder Hu Zhen of the Heavenly Sun Shang Xinggong; because his divine soul cultivation hadn't broken through to the Fifth Tier, he had only condensed a primordial spirit prototype.

In the previous Killing Dream, he had already been damaged, but it was still within the range of endurance.

Earlier, after being pierced through the head by a sword and the primordial spirit fleeing alone, he was blasted by Xu Jin's purple thunder, and he could no longer maintain it.

It began to dissolve and collapse.

It completely perished.

The next instant, Xu Jin suddenly remembered another object—the Star Official seal!

Last time on Autumn Leaf Island, the Star Official seal left at an extremely fast speed, and even Academy Head Dong Zhao couldn't stop it in time.

It shouldn't escape again today, right?

His gaze turned like lightning, and Xu Jin saw the Star Official seal.

The Star Official seal, with its light dim, was at this time circling above the Star Official divine statue, flying around left and right, up and down, like a headless fly, seemingly unable to find a direction.

Xu Jin just flashed and grabbed the Star Official seal in his hand.

Just as he wanted to throw the Star Official seal into his Sumeru space, his heart suddenly moved.

Last time on Autumn Leaf Island, when this Star Official seal left, the Star-Battle True God divine statue lost control and collapsed.

This Star-Battle True God divine statue was a great tonic.

If it was wasted, it would be a pity!

At this very moment, the Leopard-Tail clan tribesmen below were looking in terror at Xu Jin, who was flying above the divine statue holding the seal, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

As for the elites of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan, whether they were Third-Tier or Fourth-Tier, none dared to come forward.

One reason was fear.

Another important reason was that their most powerful Queen was at this time kneeling on the ground, touching her head to the ground while also restraining her tribesmen.

"No one is allowed to participate in the battle!"

"No one is allowed to participate in the battle!"

The Leopard-Tail Queen had been completely subdued in a short time under Xu Jin's Startling Dream and Killing Dream.

Looking at this scene, Xu Jin's heart moved.

"I have seen your submission! Get up."

Xu Jin's grand voice spread throughout Wind Spirit City; after the Leopard-Tail Queen confirmed it repeatedly, she dared to raise her head, and then knelt there, carefully waiting for Xu Jin's next order.

"Take your tribesmen and go treat the wounded.

Within two thousand meters of the divine statue, no one is allowed to appear; those who appear, die!"

"I respectfully follow the True God's decree."

The Leopard-Tail Queen actually regarded Xu Jin as the so-called True God.

The next instant, all the tribesmen of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan, under the command of the Leopard-Tail Queen, quickly moved away from the two-thousand-meter range of the divine statue.

Looking at the empty surroundings of the divine statue.

Xu Jin's heart relaxed slightly.

Within a two-thousand-meter range, a Fifth-Tier expert could kill their way there in one or two breaths.

But it was enough for Xu Jin to react.

The warning and protection means were insufficient, but Xu Jin didn't want to waste this rare opportunity, so he had to make do.

In the past, people from the Spirit Discipline Shang Xinggong were like hungry wolves seeing meat when they saw the Worship-Battle Divine Sect's divine statue.

Xu Jin wasn't like that, but he absolutely couldn't waste it.

The next instant, with an emergency emblem ready in his hand, Xu Jin instantly activated another Sixth-Tier star art he had learned from the Spirit Discipline Shang Xinggong—True Illusion!

This star art didn't have much attack power; its main function was to create illusions.

At this very moment, it was just the right time.

The next instant, star light surged, and within a hundred meters of the divine statue, it was instantly surrounded by star mist; in the center of the star mist, a giant-like figure over dozens of meters tall had appeared.

It was gradually merging with the huge Star-Battle True God divine statue.

The Leopard-Tail Queen looked at this scene, and while shocked, she took the initiative to bow again!

And inside the star mist, it was another scene.

Xu Jin threw the Star Official seal into his Sumeru space; the connection between this Star Official seal and the Star-Battle True God divine statue was broken for less than three seconds before the entire Star-Battle True God divine statue began to collapse.

Xu Jin sat cross-legged under the Star-Battle True God divine statue, and at the same time began to activate the star cores of his Upper Shang Xinggong and Middle Shang Xinggong, starting to absorb the massive amount of star power and divine soul power leaking from the Star-Battle True God divine statue.

However, Xu Jin's main attention was still concentrated on the Middle Shang Xinggong.

Because currently, divine soul power only needed mechanical strengthening.

But the Middle Shang Xinggong needed to break through!

Fortunately, Teacher Liu Qingzhu had long ago passed the method of breaking through to the Fourth Tier to Xu Jin, so it was convenient at this time.

Within this Star-Battle True God divine statue, even though a massive amount of star power had been consumed earlier, the amount of star power remaining was still not small.

The star power was like a heavenly river, directly attracted and falling into Xu Jin's Middle Shang Xinggong.

Xu Jin directly activated his divine soul power to start using this massive amount of star power to expand his Middle Shang Xinggong.

With sufficient star power, the speed of expanding the Middle Shang Xinggong was extremely fast.

In less than a few dozen breaths, Xu Jin had used this star power to expand enough space.

The next instant, massive divine soul power surged out, directly causing the star core of the Middle Shang Xinggong to stop rotating, and then in the shortest time, he engraved a star core base pattern, the Great Da Ju Xingwen, within the range of the Middle Shang Xinggong.

The instant the engraving was successful, Xu Jin began to activate this newly engraved Great Da Ju Xingwen, and in an instant, a massive amount of star power filled it.

In the blink of an eye, a prototype of a star core appeared.

The instant the star core appeared, Xu Jin's divine soul activated again; this time, he activated the star core that had previously reached the Refine Star Ninth-Layer peak, carefully allowing the first star core's rotational field to wrap the second star core prototype inside.

Then he activated the second star core prototype to rotate at high speed to prevent it from being pulled and destroyed by the first star core's giant force.

This was the most difficult step in breaking through from the Third Tier to the Fourth Tier.

If the divine soul power was insufficient and the control was unstable, if one was not careful, the newly born star core would be destroyed.

The breakthrough would fail!

But for Xu Jin, this was not a problem.

The next instant, the moment the two star cores, one big and one small, began to coexist peacefully, as the two star cores rotated, a massive amount of star power was sent into the second star core of Xu Jin's Middle Shang Xinggong.

The second star core, supported by the massive amount of star power within the Star-Battle True God divine statue, began to rise and strengthen rapidly.

Xu Jin's cultivation also thoroughly broke through from the Third-Tier Ninth-Layer peak to the Fourth Tier!

Currently, Fourth-Tier Condense Star First-Layer early stage!
