Chapter 265: Conquest

In Wind Spirit City, the effect of the Sixth-Tier divine soul star art True Illusion continued; under Xu Jin's deliberate control, the figure he conjured with True Illusion had already exceeded fifty meters, taller than the divine statue itself.

The tribesmen of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan in the distance, including the Leopard-Tail Queen who had been waiting respectfully, looked at the huge figure gradually swallowing the divine statue in the city, and the respect in their eyes grew even more intense.

Inside the illusion, Xu Jin had just drained the last drop of divine soul power from within the divine statue.

The power of this Star-Battle True God divine statue could be considered to have been squeezed dry by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin used a total of seven star jade tablets to seal the remaining sixty percent of the divine soul power.

The first star jade tablet sealed the most, sealing a full fifteen percent of the divine soul power within the divine statue.

How much was this amount?

Xu Jin made an estimate; if measured by the divine soul power raised by the Three-Essence Long Gui Forging Duan Longgui Duanpo Dan, it was equivalent to about 28 pills.

It was no exaggeration to say that if a cultivator with divine soul power of only Refine Star First-Tier absorbed the divine soul power sealed in this star jade tablet, their divine soul cultivation could skyrocket from Third-Tier Refine Star First-Tier to Refine Star Fourth-Tier or even Fifth-Tier.

And that might even be a conservative estimate.

It was about twice the medicinal power of a Three-Essence Refine God Golden Pill.

It was enough to be used for breaking through barriers.

For the second, third, and fourth star jade tablets, the divine soul power Xu Jin sealed inside was ten percent each, equivalent to the medicinal power of about 18 Three-Essence Long Gui Forging Soul Pills.

These were also used for breaking through barriers and could also be used to give to others.

For the fifth, sixth, and seventh star jade tablets, Xu Jin sealed five percent of the divine soul power from the Star-Battle True God divine statue in each, equivalent to the medicinal power of about nine Three-Essence Long Gui Forging Soul Pills.

These were used for rapidly raising divine soul power or for raising divine soul realms below the Fifth Tier, which was also sufficient.

A total of seven tablets.

Each had its own use.

Some were for his own use, and some were prepared for his teachers.

Master-disciple grace was something very difficult to measure with concrete things.

Just like the few thousand taels of silver Ning Yuchan helped Xu Jin with back then, or the Transformation Pill Academy Head Dong Zhao deliberately gave Xu Jin to take care of him; in the eyes of the current Xu Jin, they were not worth mentioning, just a drop in the bucket.

But for the Xu Jin of that time, they were like charcoal in the snow, near-priceless treasures.

Because the Xu Jin of that time had absolutely no possibility of obtaining similar resources.

Without their help to Xu Jin back then, the current Xu Jin could not have been achieved.

Such master-disciple grace didn't mean that if one borrowed three thousand taels back then, one would be clear after paying back thirty thousand taels now.

But Xu Jin wouldn't turn this into a burden that couldn't be paid back for a lifetime either.

That wouldn't be grace; it would turn into hatred.

Therefore, Xu Jin's idea was that within his ability, if there was an opportunity, he would repay it a little.

Having the heart was enough.

Just like now.

Xu Jin intended to take a portion of these jade tablets sealed with massive amounts of divine soul power to repay his master-disciple grace.

With seven star jade tablets properly sealed, Xu Jin carefully put them all into his Sumeru space.

Then he began to think about the next strategy.

The current Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan was basically taken down.

The Leopard-Tail Queen appeared to have completely submitted.

In the entire Guards Huo Yun star domain, only the Fire Tiger clan remained.

This was not difficult for the current Xu Jin.

Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Fourth Tier, although Xu Jin's star patterns hadn't improved, the breakthrough and improvement of his cultivation and divine soul power had caused Xu Jin's combat power ceiling to rise significantly again.

Not to mention anything else, compared to the Third-Tier Refine Star Ninth-Layer, Xu Jin's star power was now nearly twice as vigorous.

The Fire Tiger clan was not a problem.

The problem was the specific implementation process that followed.

Xu Jin didn't want to stay in the Guards Huo Yun star domain for too long.

There were two more Fourth-Tier star domains, and Xu Jin also intended to go and explore them; the opportunity was rare.

Previously, for Dai Guanwen to open a temporary star gate to a Third-Tier star domain, it required eight thousand strands of star light, and it was even more so for the Fourth Tier.

Under such circumstances, the subsequent unification affairs would have to rely on Ye Anshi and the Great Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen and the other four.

The five of them had the combat power to challenge ordinary Fifth-Tier Gather Battle experts across levels.

Two or three of them working together could even finish off Fifth-Tier Gather Battle mid-stage experts.

However, when facing Fifth-Tier late-stage or even Fifth-Tier peak aliens, they would be very strained.

If things went wrong, there was even a possibility of being killed in battle.

Then Xu Jin's next direction of action was clear.

After helping them lower the difficulty as much as possible, the remaining matters could be handed over to them.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's Bright Discipline Star Pattern flickered.

Prior to this, Xu Jin had temporarily shielded the sensing of auras below the Fifth Tier in the Bright Discipline Star Pattern.

That there was a sudden sensing now meant that new Fifth-Tier experts had appeared around Wind Spirit City.

And, not just one.

Many?

The next instant, Xu Jin activated the Bright Discipline Star Pattern to the extreme and instantly got a rough idea.

Outside Wind Spirit City, eleven Fifth-Tier experts were approaching.

All very strong.

Five were Fifth-Tier late-stage, and the others were all Fifth-Tier mid-stage.

Where could these experts have come from?

And they had actually stopped outside Wind Spirit City.

Could it be that the Fire Tiger clan had killed their way here?

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he instantly withdrew the illusion.

The moment the illusion was withdrawn, the star power Xu Jin was supporting on the divine statue was also withdrawn.

Almost the moment the illusion was withdrawn, the Star-Battle True God divine statue behind Xu Jin collapsed rapidly, as if melting like ice and snow.

The huge divine statue collapsed behind Xu Jin.

And Xu Jin stood proudly above the divine statue.

This bizarre scene made the Leopard-Tail Queen, who had been observing this scene in the Wang Cheng, incomparably shocked, and she couldn't help but kneel and prostrate toward Xu Jin again.

This time, it was a worship-style prostration.

Xu Jin looked at this scene and also felt some emotion; whether it was humans or aliens, as long as they were tamed once, taming them again would become very easy.

It was even inertia.

At the same instant, Xu Jin looked toward the direction outside Wind Spirit City.

Xu Jin, who was at a high altitude, had already seen clearly who the Fifth-Tier experts outside Wind Spirit City were.

It was the commander of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan he had encountered in Fire Spirit City earlier.

Then the question arose; normally, even if it was a smooth battle, it was impossible for it to end so quickly.

Logically speaking, even if this commander of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan captured the Fire Spirit clan's Wang Cheng, he still had to send a large army to clear and occupy the Fire Spirit clan's other territories.

Not to mention two hours, even two or three days wouldn't be enough to complete it.

But this commander had returned to Wind Spirit Wang Cheng at this critical moment.

Was it summoned by the Leopard-Tail Queen?

Looking at the Leopard-Tail Queen kneeling on the ground, Xu Jin denied this idea.

It shouldn't be.

If it were summoned by the Leopard-Tail Queen to save her, then the Leopard-Tail Queen should have rushed out to meet with this commander at this moment.

But the Leopard-Tail Queen didn't.

Then the intention of this commander of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan returning was worth pondering.

But regardless of what his intention was, it was no longer important.

Because Xu Jin already had a decision.

Outside the city, the Leopard-Tail clan's Commander-in-Chief Feng Zhi was collecting information.

Although he was an alien commander, after countless years, the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan had also plundered many military books from the current world's humans.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated; this kind of general direction of thought still existed.

Feng Zhi directly summoned several Leopard-Tail clan soldiers to inquire about the details inside the city.

The soldiers spoke hesitantly, only able to give a rough idea, saying that a strong human from the current world had killed his way here and beheaded the Divine Envoy.

Having obtained a rough piece of intelligence, because that person on the Star River Battlefield was urging him urgently, Feng Zhi took out a special communication jade tablet, reported the general situation and the subsequent action plan, and instantly activated the communication jade tablet.

The next instant, this communication jade tablet turned into a flash of star light and shot into the sky, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

And Feng Zhi was deciding on the next tactic.

Feng Zhi knew the combat power of the Divine Envoy.

It wasn't strong.

Just two months ago, he had even consulted the Divine Envoy and sparred with him.

To tell the truth, his actual combat ability was average; in Feng Zhi's view, if he fought for his life, he could even behead the Divine Envoy.

Then the combat record of this invading human from the current world beheading the Divine Envoy was, in Feng Zhi's view, very average.

Even if he was stronger than him, he couldn't be much stronger.

After all, the restrictions of the Fourth-Tier star domain were right there.

And he, Feng Zhi, was not fighting alone.

As for the intelligence that this human from the current world had once sneaked up and beheaded the left and right commanders whose cultivation was also Fifth-Tier Eighth-Layer, Feng Zhi was alert but didn't care much.

Emblems.

They should be Fifth-Tier emblems.

When the Divine Envoy first broke into the Guards Huo Yun star domain, one was relying on heavy profits and being able to bring them benefits, and two was having Fifth-Tier emblems to rely on, only then could he establish himself within the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan.

But now, Feng Zhi was not fighting alone. Besides the ten Fifth-Tier elites behind him, the Fourth and Fifth-Tier experts within Wind Spirit Wang Cheng could also be used by him.

By comparison, his prestige in the army as the Commander-in-Chief of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan was much higher than the Queen's.

Then, this matter was simple.

Just behead this human from the current world.

Even, Commander-in-Chief Feng Zhi had other ideas.

If the Queen could submit to others, why couldn't she submit to him?

The Queen's confidants, the left and right commanders, were already gone.

He still had that person on the Star River Battlefield supporting him.

Even, he could let the Leopard-Tail Queen come to serve him in bed tonight!

Thinking of this, Feng Zhi felt hot in his heart.

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, he led ten Fifth-Tier elites, plus nearly a hundred Fourth-Tier elites gathered outside the city, and rushed into the city.

Inside the city, Xu Jin had already arrived beside the Leopard-Tail Queen.

He hadn't noticed before, but looking now, this Leopard-Tail Queen had an extremely hot and outstanding figure, plus that constantly swaying spotted leopard tail, she was really wild enough.

"Alright, get up and answer."

Xu Jin gave a light hum, and only then did the Leopard-Tail Queen dare to get up.

And it was also at this time that Commander-in-Chief Feng Zhi had already led people to rush to the entrance of the Royal Palace, less than three or four hundred meters away from Xu Jin.

Behind him, besides ten Fifth-Tier experts, he had also gathered the other two Fifth-Tier early-stage aliens guarding the city, and behind them were over a hundred Fourth-Tier ones.

There was no need to speak; one could tell they had come with ill intent!

Beside Xu Jin, looking at the aggressively rushing Commander-in-Chief Feng Zhi, the Leopard-Tail Queen was about to speak, but Xu Jin waved his hand to stop her and shouted at Feng Zhi and the others, "Seeing the Queen and not bowing, what is the meaning of this!"

"Audacious!"

Almost the instant Feng Zhi pointed at Xu Jin and roared, Xu Jin's thunder wings emerged behind him, and he moved instantly.

Boom!

Xu Jin rushed directly in front of Feng Zhi, and then a purple-black flame light blasted toward Feng Zhi.

At the same instant, divine soul fluctuation rose.

Break Evil!

Break Evil directly caused Feng Zhi to spray blood from his seven orifices, but what was even more terrifying was that purple-black flame light.

This was the first time Xu Jin had used the Burning Soul Heaven Fire brought by the Eighth-Tier-mid high-tier Fire Source Star Pattern.

The main purpose was to establish prestige!

The first moment the purple-black flames burned onto Feng Zhi, it directly caused Feng Zhi, who was spraying blood from his seven orifices, to let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

Burning Soul Heaven Fire.

It hurt both the physical body and the divine soul!

And it was burning!

It was using a slow fire to constantly burn the divine soul; that feeling of pain was no less than being sliced by a thousand cuts, incomparably painful.

But at the same instant, the Fifth-Tier experts brought by Commander-in-Chief Feng Zhi all roared and killed their way toward Xu Jin.

Xu Jin didn't dodge or avoid, but just raised the Fish Curtain Jin Zhong and stood on the spot, letting those Fifth-Tier experts of the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan blast him.

The bombardment of the Fifth-Tier early-mid stage alien experts could at most make Xu Jin's Fish Curtain Jin Zhong fluctuate.

Only the bombardment of the Fifth-Tier late-stage aliens could make the Fish Curtain Jin Zhong fluctuate significantly.

However, Xu Jin swung his fists continuously, and every time he swung, he blasted out a Spiral Flame Explosion composed of Star Heaven Fire.

Every time a flame explosion passed, a Fifth-Tier expert would inevitably die miserably.

Fifth-Tier early-stage alien experts, when the flame explosion passed, wouldn't even struggle before being blasted into ash.

As for the Fifth-Tier mid-late stage alien experts, when the Spiral Flame Explosion passed, they would at most block it for half a breath before being blasted to death.

In the time of one breath, the twelve Fifth-Tier experts were all killed by Xu Jin, leaving only Feng Zhi, who was being burned more and more fiercely by the purple-black flames, screaming.

The hundred or so Fourth-Tier aliens gathered by Feng Zhi, seeing that things were not going well, fled in all directions.

Xu Jin's thunder wings vibrated continuously behind him, intending not to let a single one go.

Since he was establishing prestige, he had to do it thoroughly.

Looking at Xu Jin slaughtering the elites within the clan, the Leopard-Tail Queen and the remaining Fourth-Tier attendants in the Royal Palace were all trembling with fear.

Not to mention Fourth-Tier, he killed Fifth-Tier mid-late stage lords like dogs; how could they not be afraid!

Xu Jin himself was also killing incomparably happily.

Previously in the Fire Spirit clan, the fight was relatively difficult.

Essentially, it was because the Fire Spirit clan had strong resistance to fire-type star arts.

But the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan was different.

And after capturing the Fire Spirit clan, Xu Jin's combat power had improved twice in succession.

One was obtaining the Fire Spirit Heart and the Red Dragon Thumb Ring, and the other was his previous cultivation breakthrough to the Fourth Tier and his divine soul cultivation improving by two levels in succession.

Both had significantly improved Xu Jin's combat power.

At this moment, having this combat power was not strange.

In less than thirty breaths, Xu Jin relied on the astonishing speed brought by the thunder wings and the Meteor Star Pattern to slaughter every single one of the Fourth-Tier alien elites who had dared to follow Feng Zhi.

He even killed more than that!

At this moment, in the entire Wind Spirit City, apart from the Leopard-Tail Queen, there was not a single Fifth-Tier left.

Until Xu Jin finished slaughtering, Feng Zhi, who was being burned by the Burning Soul Heaven Fire, curled into a ball and completely lost his voice.

This was the terrifying thing about the Burning Soul Heaven Fire.

Once contaminated, it would directly burn the divine soul, and then use the divine soul as firewood, burning more and more fiercely.

Until the divine soul was burned dry.

Of course, it wasn't to say that the Burning Soul Heaven Fire was invincible.

If someone who understood it immediately cut off the skin and flesh contaminated with the Burning Soul Heaven Fire, letting the Burning Soul Heaven Fire leave the body and unable to touch the divine soul through the physical body, they could get rid of it.

Those who didn't understand it couldn't extinguish the Burning Soul Heaven Fire.

No matter how they extinguished it, it wouldn't go out.

Because it used the divine soul as firewood.

At this moment, the Leopard-Tail Queen and the survivors in this Wind Spirit Wang Cheng, including those tribesmen, looked at Xu Jin with both respect and fear, simply like a god in the world.

"Queen, how many Wind Spirit Hearts have you mastered?" Xu Jin flew to the side of the Leopard-Tail Queen and helped her up before she could kneel, asking softly.

"Wind Spirit Hearts?" The Leopard-Tail Queen didn't quite understand.

"It's the heaven and earth star will of this star domain." Xu Jin said.

"Are you talking about the Leopard-Tail Scepter, my lord?" The Leopard-Tail Queen said.

"Take it out and let me see."

The next instant, two cyan leopard-tail-like scepter things appeared in front of the Leopard-Tail Queen, exuding points of star light, and also exuding the same aura fluctuations as the heaven and earth star will Xu Jin had obtained earlier.

"Yes, that's it."

As Xu Jin nodded, he looked at the Leopard-Tail Queen and said, "Queen, I need them; can you give them to me?"

"Of course I can, my True God!"

The next instant, as the Leopard-Tail Queen activated her mind, her delicate body trembled, but she took the initiative to disconnect the heart-mind connection with the Leopard-Tail Scepter, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth.

The next instant, the Leopard-Tail Queen, with blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, offered these two cyan leopard-tail scepters with both hands.

Xu Jin took them casually and threw them into his Sumeru space.

Two mid-tier wind-type heaven and earth star wills, but they contained twenty percent of the Guards Huo Yun star domain's heaven and earth will.

"Queen, I need to thoroughly obtain your loyalty; are you willing to open your divine soul?"

"I am willing!"

This cooperative appearance made Xu Jin feel a bit unable to take action.

But Xu Jin still directly used the secret method passed down by the Grand Master to extract a strand of the Leopard-Tail Queen's divine soul, and after refining it, he left a brand.

From then on, the Leopard-Tail Queen's life and death were thoroughly controlled in Xu Jin's hands.

As long as Xu Jin moved his mind, the Leopard-Tail Queen would immediately die.

Just like when the Grand Master cooperated remotely with Xu Jin to behead the Red Scale King back then.

"I accept your loyalty and will also give you protection; keep these six emblems well; you can use them at critical moments, and even a Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak expert can be heavily injured or blasted to death."

Hit with a stick, give a few sweet dates.

This Leopard-Tail Queen had already been hit with several sticks, so naturally, she had to be given some rewards.

The emblems Xu Jin rewarded the Leopard-Tail Queen with were Fifth-Tier-low emblems he had refined himself, after being nurtured.

Although they couldn't compare to Fifth-Tier-plus nurtured emblems, their power was stronger than ordinary Fifth-Tier-plus emblems, and perhaps even approached Sixth-Tier-low un-nurtured emblems.

Giving them to the Leopard-Tail Queen for life-saving and protection was most appropriate.

In the future, as long as the Leopard-Tail Queen was alive, the unified Guards Huo Yun star domain would not be chaotic!

"Go, in these three locations, there are five humans from the current world; hold my token and send people to invite them to the Wang Cheng."

"Yes."

After the Leopard-Tail Queen arranged the order, Xu Jin used a Startling Dream to let the Leopard-Tail Queen fall into a deep sleep.

Starting to recover from the damage to her divine soul.

At the same time, the Leopard-Tail Queen, pulled into the Startling Dream, fell into the dreamscape carefully woven by Xu Jin again!

As the real controller of the first Fourth-Tier star domain about to be conquered, Xu Jin still had to strengthen control in all aspects.

After all, the benefits brought by a Fourth-Tier star domain were extraordinary.

After arranging everything, Xu Jin casually found a palace to enter and began to refine the two low-tier Fengling Baowei Scepters he had just obtained.

This was the first time Xu Jin had obtained wind-type heaven and earth star will.

But what Xu Jin looked forward to was that after refining these two low-tier Fengling Baowei Scepters, counting the previous ones, theoretically, he would obtain forty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain. At that time, what changes or gains would there be?
