Chapter 414: Hell Difficulty

Under Heaven-Man Induction, the seven star paths placed before Xu Jin were all surging with fierce tides.

This result left Xu Jin directly stunned.

Did this count as the star technique Heaven-Man Induction failing?

Or were all the star paths great omens of disaster?

Above his head, the countdown was rapidly decreasing, and some people had already begun to step into the star paths.

"We will all step into the third star path." Academy Head Dong Zhao's telepathic message rang in Xu Jin's mind, and Xu Jin nodded slightly.

This could be considered a method with no other options.

It just depended on whether the three of them could be concentrated together.

The next instant, Xu Jin, Dong Zhao, and Liu Qingzhu stepped into the third star path before them at the same time.

As starlight flickered, Xu Jin felt his body lighten and arrived in another world.

This world was very vast.

One could not see the end at a glance, but he didn't know how large the combat range was.

The first moment Xu Jin landed, he casually flicked four rays of starlight toward all directions, but after the four rays of starlight left his body by one meter, they all dissipated.

Xu Jin wanted to move, but discovered that there was an invisible barrier one meter in front of his body.

He could not leave.

This made Xu Jin somewhat helpless.

Xu Jin's original plan was to set up two or three beacons for the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping Stake the first moment he entered, which could also be used for emergencies.

But he didn't expect that he couldn't move.

He could only wait for this third trial, Slaughter of All Living Things, to begin.

In the sky, a countdown had already emerged; the countdown was one hundred breaths.

And in all directions, starlight was constantly falling.

Although Xu Jin couldn't move, Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern could be sent out far away to sense the aura of those landing.

Up to now, the highest cultivation of the elites from all sides who landed was the Sixth Tier peak.

It was not too much of a threat to Xu Jin.

Although the Sixth Tier peak among human elites was much stronger in combat power than most Sixth Tier peak aliens.

But with Xu Jin's current strength, if he encountered a Sixth Tier peak human elite, even if he couldn't kill them, saving his life would be no problem at all.

Xu Jin had this bit of confidence.

There were also over a dozen Jin Zhu aliens who landed.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's heart was startled; an aura of the Seventh Tier fell.

The moment it fell, Xu Jin sighed secretly; the danger of Heaven-Man Induction was likely coming from the Seventh Tier.

It really was a case of "enemies are bound to meet."

The peerless genius of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace, the Fourth Layer Seventh Tier Watching Zhang Lin.

This Watching Zhang Lin, upon seeing Xu Jin, also smiled grimly.

In this Seven Kill Slaughter Field, he, a mid-stage Seventh Tier, wanted to eliminate whoever he wanted.

Eliminating a few disciples of the Chen Guo Dao Academy was an inevitable matter.

Especially after the news spread in the current world that the Chen Guo Emperor Qian'an had been assassinated by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace, the relationship between the Heavenly Yang Star Palace and Chen Guo had deteriorated rapidly.

The assassination of a monarch was a blood feud!

This was a national humiliation!

In the future, no matter when, there would definitely be a bloody battle between Chen Guo and the Heavenly Yang Star Palace and Da Hong.

Either Chen Guo would defeat Da Hong and the Heavenly Yang Star Palace to wash away this national humiliation.

Or the Heavenly Yang Star Palace and Da Hong would again severely damage Chen Guo and beat them into submission.

But regardless, there would definitely be a battle.

This was unchangeable.

So from the moment the news spread, the opposition and conflict between Chen Guo and the Heavenly Yang Star Palace had surged manifold.

Since a battle was inevitable, then they could weaken the other side's power at any time.

A convenient matter, why not do it!

What was regrettable was that those who could enter the third trial had all learned at least the first layer of the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping Stake. In other words, everyone who entered the third trial had obtained one chance to substitute death and be reborn in the Seven Kill Secret Realm.

Understanding the rules, it meant that after being killed, the opponent could at least substitute death and be reborn once.

They could choose to leave, or they could choose to participate in the battle again.

This depended on individual choice.

This point, in Watching Zhang Lin's view, was somewhat regrettable.

Even if he killed the elites of the Chen Guo Dao Academy, he was only eliminating them, unable to truly kill them.

Of course, if there were those who were blind and chose to return to participate in the battle after substituting death, he would definitely be very happy to send another fatal blow.

Comprehensively weakening Chen Guo's elite power had already become the consensus of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace's high-ranking officials.

Xu Jin frowned slightly at Watching Zhang Lin's target full of killing intent, but he activated the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping Stake and had already silently set up a Dragon-Escaping Stake at his standing position.

This counted as the first point.

After the battle started, he would move away extremely fast, and if he encountered danger, he could return here.

After setting up the Dragon-Escaping Stake, Xu Jin began to activate his sensing to find his Dragon-Escaping Stake.

He wanted to see if there was any possibility of destroying the Dragon-Escaping Stake.

After a few breaths, Xu Jin discovered that no matter how strong the soul power activated by ordinary soul sensing was, it could not discover the spatial beacon of the Dragon-Escaping Stake.

However, by slightly activating the Mingji Star Pattern, one could sense the existence of the Dragon-Escaping Stake.

Blasting with star power could destroy the Dragon-Escaping Stake.

From this, he concluded: the Dragon-Escaping Stake was not undiscoverable; it could be destroyed, but it required time.

Unless someone searched carpet-style, or possessed an ultra-strong Mingji Star Pattern like Xu Jin, they could destroy the Dragon-Escaping Stake.

In this situation, the life-saving ability of the Dragon-Escaping Stake was extremely practical.

Especially, after Xu Jin learned the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping Stake to the fourth layer, the number of stake positions Xu Jin could set up simultaneously was five!

And the third layer was three, the second layer was two, and the first layer only had one.

If he filled five Dragon-Escaping Stakes, it would be extremely practical.

Just as Xu Jin was pondering, suddenly, another Seventh Tier mid-stage aura fell.

Xu Jin took a look and was happy.

With a large golden horn on his head, one of the Seventh Tier mid-stage Jin Zhu alien race also came to this Seven Kill Slaughter Field.

Good thing!

For Xu Jin, this was a great thing.

The possibility of two Seventh Tier experts fighting each other was still very high.

Xu Jin's survival space would be even larger.

The complexion of Watching Zhang Lin of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace also changed slightly, but he was still full of confidence.

He was a peerless genius of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace; although his cultivation was only at the Seventh Tier mid-stage, his combat power was far more than the Seventh Tier.

Just a Seventh Tier alien.

But the next instant, with a massive and terrifying aura falling, the complexions of Xu Jin and Watching Zhang Lin both became very ugly.

The human elites in this Seven Kill Slaughter Field all showed expressions of horror!

Eighth Tier!

The Eighth Tier expert of the Jin Zhu alien race, Ju Xuan.

The moment he landed, Ju Xuan scanned all directions, his gaze sweeping past the Seventh Tier Watching Zhang Lin, and the moment he saw Xu Jin, he laughed.

"Qi Qi Tian Sheng, what a coincidence!"

"Not bad, quite a coincidence!"

Xu Jin wanted to curse in his heart; how could he have stepped on such a super-sized landmine? But on his face, he was still smiling.

His aura could not be lost.

Upon hearing this, Ju Xuan pointed to the countdown in the sky, "While there is still time, answer my three questions honestly, and I will spare your life in a moment, how about that?"

Xu Jin was slightly startled.

This boomerang was fast enough.

It had come!

But it was still the same saying, his aura could not be lost!

For one, with so many people present, Xu Jin could not do such a thing; what Ju Xuan asked would definitely be a crucial or sensitive question. For another, even if he really did it, Ju Xuan, this Eighth Tier expert, could just kill Xu Jin, and who would Xu Jin go to for justice?

Dead people have no justice to speak of!

Therefore, his aura could not be lost.

"Ju Xuan, I will also say the same thing; while there is still time, if you can honestly answer my three questions, I will spare your life in a moment, how about that?" Xu Jin said toughly.

Ju Xuan frowned; he was truly angered.

There really was such an arrogant human!

But the next instant, Ju Xuan looked at Xu Jin and laughed, "Not bad, tough enough.

It's just that I don't know if your skull is as hard as your mouth!

Battle in a moment!

I won't kill anyone else, I will kill you first!

I want to try for myself whether your mouth is hard or your bones are hard!"

After saying this, Ju Xuan thought Xu Jin would be afraid, would be terrified; he didn't expect that after hearing this, Xu Jin only laughed and then said four words.

"Welcome to try!"

"Hahahaha, good good good, interesting! I must try it!"

Ju Xuan laughed up at the sky, and his terrifying aura also locked onto Xu Jin in the first instance.

Seeing this scene, not to mention the Chen Guo Dao Academy disciples, even the elites from the Heavenly Yang Star Palace, the Cangming Star Palace, and the Zhen'e Star Palace all gave Xu Jin a thumbs up!

Tough enough!

Even the Seventh Tier Watching Zhang Lin had a few points of admiration for Xu Jin.

But while admiring, he began to think about tactics.

If the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan really chased after this Chen Guo Dao Academy's Qi Qi Tian Sheng, then he estimated he would have one to three breaths of time.

This should be the longest time the Fifth Tier Qi Qi Tian Sheng could hold out under the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan.

Within these one to three breaths of time, he had to kill as many other elites as possible.

The rule of this third trial was that the top thirty who survived would pass the trial.

In other words, reducing the number of people in this slaughter field to thirty was enough.

This was the first goal.

Achieving this goal would allow him to successfully enter the next trial, and then, perhaps he could fight the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan and test his weight.

At the same time, Xu Jin's brain was also spinning at high speed.

This was no longer stepping on a landmine.

It was crashing into a landmine nest.

This Eighth Tier Ju Xuan clearly wanted to target him from the start, so after the battle started, the situation would become extremely terrible in the first instance.

If the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan kept targeting him and kept chasing him, let alone having three chances to substitute death and be reborn, even five or ten would not be enough.

And passing the third trial was something Xu Jin had to achieve.

Strategy and tactics became very important!

Looking at all directions, the terrain factors that could be utilized were very, very few.

Now it seemed that the factors that could be utilized were only the other participating elites on the scene.

In an instant, Xu Jin had a basic strategy.

At the same time, he also had a goal!

He didn't need to kill the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan; he only needed to hold out until the last thirty people survived in the entire slaughter field.

Xu Jin began to size up the overall situation.

In this slaughter field, the number of participating elites from all sides assigned here reached as high as 213.

Among them, one Eighth Tier, two Seventh Tier, 22 Sixth Tier, and the rest were all Fifth Tier and Fourth Tier elites.

The elements available for Xu Jin to utilize were just that many.

The countdown in the sky had already entered the single digits.

Xu Jin took a deep breath, the Fish Curtain Golden Bell lit up, the Seven-Star Fire Rhinoceros Armor was hidden on his body, and the Thunder Wings had already emerged behind his back.

"Hmm?"

The moment the Thunder Wings appeared, that aura made Watching Zhang Lin's expression change slightly.

Very strong.

Just with these few defenses, this Qi Qi Tian Sheng already surpassed most people present.

Xu Jin, however, did not pay attention.

In the battle that followed, the first step was very important.

He hoped the spatial distance of this slaughter field would not be too short; otherwise, it would truly be super hell difficulty!

The next instant, the countdown in the sky disappeared.

Almost the same moment the countdown disappeared, Xu Jin, who had been activating his Mingji Star Pattern sensing, discovered that the spatial barriers in all directions had disappeared.

Boom!

Xu Jin had already moved!

With a flap of his Thunder Wings, eight thunder shadows shot toward eight directions.

Thunder Source, Thunder Elephant, Thunder Wings, Thunder Escape, and Flitting Shadow.

The Thunder Shadow Escape star pattern deduced from these five star patterns had extremely high practical value.

The first moment the thunder sound exploded, the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan, whose body was surging with starlight, suddenly paused slightly.

Thunder Shadow Clone.

This actually interfered with him.

But it was only for an instant.

The next instant, Ju Xuan flew out instantly, also turning into eight, chasing Xu Jin's eight thunder shadow clones.

In just one breath, Ju Xuan laughed loudly, "Good brat, found you!"

When the eight thunder shadow clones were performed, the speed of the eight thunder shadow clones was the same, but after one breath, there was a difference in the speed of the eight thunder shadow clones.

The speed of the clones was still the same, but the speed of Xu Jin's main body exceeded the clones by a large margin.

Ju Xuan's clones chased over, and his clones quickly caught up with Xu Jin's seven clones and then quickly destroyed them.

Immediately, only Xu Jin's main body remained.

However, the effect of Xu Jin's Thunder Shadow Escape was also reflected at this time.

Although Ju Xuan broke the Thunder Shadow Escape, his main body chased in the wrong direction, allowing Xu Jin to gain the initiative time.

At least one breath of initiative time.

The next instant, the moment Xu Jin activated the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping Stake again, his back Thunder Wings flapped, and he activated Thunder Shadow Escape again, and eight more thunder shadows dispersed in all directions.

At the same time, Watching Zhang Lin saw the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan being led away by Xu Jin and instantly activated his star power to begin the slaughter.

For an expert of Watching Zhang Lin's level, below the Seventh Tier, there was no suspense.

Even those at the Sixth Tier peak who could hold out for two moves under his hands could be praised by him.

In an instant, the entire slaughter field was rapidly losing people.

Those Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier elite alien elites, including the non-Heavenly Yang Star Palace elites, turned into a ray of starlight the moment they were killed, and a prompt appeared before their eyes.

Leave, or continue to fight!

Leave, which meant giving up the competition for the Seven Kill Secret Realm inheritance, but one could leave alive.

Continue to fight, which meant one could be reborn and participate in the battle again, continuing to compete for the Seven Kill inheritance.

But the next time one died in battle, it might be a true death!

There were wise ones, especially those who had only comprehended the first layer of the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping Stake, who very wisely chose to leave.

Having gained the Seven Kill Dragon-Escaping star technique was already not bad.

With such a high elimination rate, and an Eighth Tier existence here, it was super hell mode; there was no need to go and die!

Only with life is there everything.

Without life, everything becomes empty!

The Divine Dao True Meaning belongs to the Star Lord, but life is one's own.

Many people, after being killed for the first time, directly chose to leave.

Of course, there were also individual greedy ones gambling on luck.

With such a high elimination rate, what if they held out within the top thirty?

Therefore, some chose to take the risk and participate in the battle again.

However, the moment their figures emerged, just as their protective starlight was supported, they were swept across by the starlight of the Seventh Tier Jin Zhu alien.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

Died miserably!

This time, it was a true miserable death!

Casualties had already appeared.

And just as the first case of casualties appeared, Xu Jin, who had performed Thunder Shadow Escape again, was caught up by the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan!

He was caught up to his true body!

Although Xu Jin's speed was fast, compared to the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan, he was still a bit behind!

"Brat, now kneel down and call me ancestor, it's still not too late!" Ju Xuan laughed, and a golden light net had already covered Xu Jin from above.
