Chapter 430

【Master, I have been eliminated.】

After being killed twice in a row by Xu Jin, the Seventh Tier genius Hou Hou Ziang of the Wood Spirit Palace was eliminated from the Seven Kill Secret Realm.

Although he feared his master's scolding, Hou Hou Ziang returned at high speed, and upon arriving at a place covered by the Star-Plucking Tower, he reported this matter to his master, the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei.

Being eliminated after failure was a matter of ability.

It could also be explained as the enemy being too cunning.

His master would at most give him the cold shoulder for a period of time.

But if he concealed it and did not report it, that would be a matter of attitude and intelligence, which would cause his master to completely abandon him from then on.

The Wood Spirit Palace Master, upon receiving the starlight message, was suddenly shocked and naturally inquired about the details at the first opportunity.

Hou Hou Ziang naturally reported the details to his master Chi Lei in great detail; in the process of reporting, in order to highlight that he had tried his best and was not afraid of death, Hou Hou Ziang naturally slightly exaggerated the strength of Qi Qi Tian Sheng he had encountered.

【Qi Qi Tian Sheng? Fifth Tier, Third Layer, almost to the degree of being able to kill you in seconds, and even consecutive seconds? At the very least, a full set of Seven Stars Spirit Treasures.】

【Five Elements Divine Thunder, are you sure this kid knows the legendary Five Elements Divine Thunder?】

At first, the Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei did not quite believe it.

Fifth Tier, Third Layer killing a Seventh Tier, Fourth Layer in seconds?

Things that only existed in legends, how could they be reenacted in reality.

However, when his disciple mentioned the Five Elements Divine Thunder, he believed it a few points.

His expression also became extremely solemn.

Previously, when he and the Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian joined forces to press into the Da Chen Dachen Wan Yi, preparing to use the name of Emperor Qian'an to severely injure or slay the Da Chen Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, and then have the two palaces take over Da Chen and carve up Da Chen's territory, he had been shocked by Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's Thunder-type Star Art!

The Thunder-type Star Art was actually stronger than his!

This was outrageous!

Recently, the Wood Spirit Palace Master had been investigating this matter both openly and secretly.

One must know that the Da Chen National Dao Academy had only exchanged for the Third Tier Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern with a trace of Heaven and Earth Star Will and two star domains more than half a year ago.

This showed that before that, the Da Chen National Dao Academy had no Thunder-type heritage.

But how long had it been, and Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's Thunder-type Star Art at the Da Chen National Dao Academy was not only on par with his, but even stronger than his?

Now, another Five Elements Divine Thunder had appeared!

He knew about the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Their Wood Spirit Palace's heritage records stated that if one could comprehend the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to the Eighth Tier high grade or even the Ninth Tier, one could comprehend the extremely powerful Five Elements Divine Thunder.

But the problem was, even with their Wood Spirit Palace's accumulation and research over so many years, the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern had only been comprehended to the Eighth Tier mid grade.

Only those who had comprehended it knew how difficult it was to comprehend Eighth Tier star patterns.

Unfortunately, before the Wood Spirit Palace unsealed, the disciples of the two palaces were not qualified to enter the Star-Plucking Secret Realm to pluck golden stars.

After the substitution, should he choose to continue or leave?

After the first death, Hou Hou Ziang chose to continue without hesitation.

This was because he had two substitution opportunities.

But he didn't expect the second death to be faster and more direct than the first.

So what about this second time?

Should he continue?

In an instant, Hou Hou Ziang's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a pair of invisible hands, as if he couldn't even breathe.

Suffocation!

The suffocating fear brought by death!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Hou Hou Ziang's mind.

If he chose to continue, could he snatch back this divine Dao intent?

Or rather, could he survive?

As his thoughts raced, Hou Hou Ziang reached a conclusion: No!

Moreover, he had been struck by that terrifying Five Elements Divine Thunder and was already heavily injured.

Even if he substituted death and was reborn, the heavy injury remained, and his state was even worse than after the first death.

The Seven-Star Spirit Armor was also shattered!

In a normal state, he would surely die!

If he wanted to save his life, he had to use his life-saving treasures and strike first.

But the problem was, did he have the chance?

Whether it was the space shifting emblem or the killing weapon bestowed by his master that could heavily injure a seventh-tier, he could use them.

But was there a chance to use them?

In the blink of an eye, Hou Hou Ziang recalled the process of being slain by Xu Jin for the second time.

It seemed he hadn't even had the opportunity to use his life-saving treasures.

Just as he appeared, he was struck by a single blow that left him severely injured, and the lightning directly paralyzed his entire body, causing him to lose the ability to move quickly.

In fact, even if he had the ability to move quickly, it would have been too late.

That guy's consecutive kills were too fast!

In an instant, Hou Hou Ziang began to hesitate between his master's scolding and disappointment and his own death.

If he chose to return directly, his master would be very disappointed in him, might even reproach him, and would call him a coward.

But on the other hand, he would die!

Once dead, everything would be gone.

Just as he was hesitating, starlight flickered before Hou Hou Ziang's eyes, and information appeared.

【The selection time has been exceeded; you will be sent directly out of the Seven Kill Secret Realm. You have been eliminated.】

Seeing this starlight message appear before his eyes, Hou Hou Ziang actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't need to struggle anymore.

Someone had made the choice for him.

In fact, this was also his own choice.

Inside the Seven Kill Secret Realm, Xu Jin waited on the spot for three breaths of time, but Hou Hou Ziang's figure did not reappear.

This left Xu Jin quite surprised.

The disciple of the Wood Spirit Palace Master is no good; he is not as good as the disciple of the Grand Void Gate Master.

He didn't even dare to fight for his life.

He just shrank back directly.

Xu Jin also felt some regret; he had been a bit too impatient just now.

In his eagerness to quickly snatch other Divine Dao True Intents, he had been too ruthless toward Hou Hou Ziang.

So ruthless that Hou Hou Ziang himself felt there was no chance, and thus would not use his second opportunity for substitution death and rebirth to return.

If he had acted a bit weaker and let this guy see a chance, perhaps there would have been a possibility of luring him to his death.

At this point, it was already too late.

But he could execute similar tactics later on.

Of course, from Xu Jin's perspective, the psychological manipulation the Grand Void Gate Master used on his disciple was powerful enough.

On the side of the Wood Spirit Palace Master, it was a bit worse.

But for their disciples, it might not necessarily be a bad thing!

However, for Xu Jin, it was slightly worse.

It seemed that the fact that he had obtained the Thunder-type Divine Dao True Intent could no longer be hidden!

However, Xu Jin was not afraid.

He now had the strength to deal with Seventh Tier elites like Hou Hou Ziang.

Once his strength advanced a step further, he would still be able to save his life in front of an Eighth Tier expert.

If the Thunder-type Divine Dao True Intent could allow him to advance further in Thunder-type Star Arts, that would be even more wonderful.

The next instant, Xu Jin suddenly stepped on the stars and rose, and while driving the Law Stars on the Arena Platform, he rushed toward the nearest Divine Dao True Intent.

The second Divine Dao True Intent Xu Jin most wanted to obtain was the Earth-type, but the Earth-type Divine Dao True Intent was a bit further away from Xu Jin; at this very moment, the one closest to Xu Jin was the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent.

That was also not bad.

After obtaining the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent, whether for his own use or to give to the Grand Master, it would be very good.

With his Thunder Wings flapping rapidly and lightning flickering, Xu Jin rushed in the direction where the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent was located.

It was not far; in about a quarter of an hour, he arrived.

From afar, Xu Jin saw starlight shining in that direction, with star power as brilliant as fireworks.

It was clear that people were engaged in a great battle.

It seemed that someone had already arrived, but he didn't know if anyone had obtained the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent.

Two breaths later, Xu Jin's gaze suddenly sharpened.

At the place of the great battle, the shadow of the Seven Kill True Monarch's phantom was already gone.

The Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie and the Academy Head Dong Zhao were currently engaged in a great battle with Zhang Lin of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace! What surprised Xu Jin even more was that Zhang Lin was actually holding the upper hand.

Song Song Shoujie and the Academy Head Dong Zhao were not only being suppressed, but both of them were also quite severely injured.

Dong Zhao's aura was fluctuating, Song Song Shoujie's entire body was charred black, his aura was hollow, and he had even lost an arm; he had just used star power to reattach his own severed arm—if he used a Mid-tier Star Healing art, the severed arm could be reattached.

If it dragged on for too long, he would become disabled.

Logically speaking, the Academy Head Dong Zhao himself possessed the combat strength to challenge Seventh Tier experts across tiers, and the Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie's strength was even more extraordinary; even if they were a bit weaker than Zhang Lin, they shouldn't have been beaten into such a state.

At this very moment, the Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie had already been frozen on the ground, and Dong Zhao was in no better shape.

It wouldn't take long before Zhang Lin would be able to slay both of them!

Almost at the same instant, all three of them saw Xu Jin's arrival.

Dong Zhao was overjoyed.

The Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie was overjoyed at first, but then a bitter smile appeared; he wasn't of much use!

When Zhang Lin saw Xu Jin, he laughed loudly, "You came at the right time; it's perfect to kill you all together!"

At the same time, the Zhai Xing Lou above Zhang Lin's head emitted endless cold light, and spear after spear of ice, as if infinite in number, crashed toward Song Song Shoujie and Dong Zhao.

Even if they were blocked, the ice spears would shatter into ice, instantly making Zhang Lin's Ice Domain even more powerful.

The larger the Ice Domain, the stronger Zhang Lin's combat strength.

Within the Lord Tianyang Star Palace, Zhang Lin belonged to the type who grew stronger the more he fought.

The longer the time dragged on, the more advantageous it was for him!

Song Song Shoujie's injuries were even more severe than Xu Jin had imagined; just by blocking two spears, he vomited blood wildly, and Dong Zhao was also in extreme disarray, with endless frost energy attacking from all directions at all times, causing Dong Zhao's condition to worsen!

This bizarre scene made Xu Jin not dare to be too reckless!

Being able to severely injure Song Song Shoujie and Dong Zhao together to this extent showed that Zhang Lin possessed a super-powerful ultimate move.

If Xu Jin rushed up rashly, he might be taken advantage of.

The next instant, with his Thunder Wings vibrating behind him, Xu Jin moved at high speed, and bolt after bolt of Bing Fire Divine Thunder crashed toward Zhang Lin.

In an instant, the pressure on Song Song Shoujie and Dong Zhao plummeted!

Even as a top genius of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace, facing Xu Jin's Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Zhang Lin still had to handle it carefully.

At the same time, Xu Jin communicated quickly with the Academy Head Dong Zhao; he had to first probe Zhang Lin's true strength.

"The Lord Luoshui Marquis specializes in the Wind-type and is extremely fast; he was the first to find the Seven Kill True Monarch's phantom here, so he attacked with all his might to kill it first. To snatch time, he used a tactic of trading injuries for injuries.

In the shortest possible time, he paid a quite large price to finish off the Seven Kill True Monarch's phantom, but just as he finished it off, Zhang Lin arrived.

Zhang Lin took the opportunity to severely injure the Lord Luoshui Marquis, who was already carrying injuries.

I arrived just in time, and originally, by joining forces with the Lord Luoshui Marquis, we could still suppress Zhang Lin.

Unexpectedly, this guy threw out a Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead, once again severely injuring me and the Lord Luoshui Marquis.

I highly suspect that this guy's Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead has the blessing of the Lord Tianyang Star Monarch.

You be careful."

The Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead is a special type of Ice Star Art.

It is the result of accumulating cold energy over time, refining it, and storing it, then keeping it in a Sumeru space to be used as a life-saving measure at a critical moment.

Usually, only cold energy and thunder energy can be refined and stored using this special method.

It takes a very long time.

At the same time, there is also an upper limit.

The upper limit for a Seventh Tier beginner cultivator to refine is Seventh Tier.

In reality, it is refining a one-time-use Star Core.

It is extremely time-consuming and laborious.

When unleashed, it can erupt with a full-force strike equivalent to a Seventh Tier beginner expert.

Normally, it would be impossible to severely injure both the Lord Luoshui Marquis and Dong Zhao at the same time.

That is why Dong Zhao said it had the blessing of the Lord Tianyang Star Monarch.

Almost at the same time, the Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie's voice transmission rang out in Xu Jin's mind.

【Qi Qi Tian Sheng, I see that your speed is quite fast; you immediately take the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent from Dong Zhao's hands, and Dong Zhao and I will do our best to hold Zhang Lin back for you.

While you flee, wrap and refine the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent preliminarily, and after putting it into your Sumeru space, commit suicide to return, and bring the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent to the Grand Master at the first opportunity!

Dong Zhao and I both have opportunities for substitution death, so you don't need to worry.】

Almost at the same time the voice transmission entered his brain, Dong Zhao looked at the Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie with an extremely stunned expression; clearly, Song Song Shoujie had also issued this order to Dong Zhao.

Xu Jin was somewhat stunned.

His poor impression of Song Song Shoujie changed slightly.

The Lord Luoshui Marquis's sense of the big picture at this moment was different, making one somewhat admire him.

He was single-mindedly thinking of bringing the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent to the Grand Master!

To tell the truth, the success rate of this plan was extremely high!

There was a huge possibility of bringing the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent back.

It was just that Xu Jin had some doubts: was it very difficult to preliminarily wrap and refine a Divine Dao True Intent?

He seemed to have only spent a few breaths of time just now.

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized.

What was related to the Divine Dao True Intent should be the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern and the Thunder Elephant Star Pattern.

His Lei Yuan and Thunder Elephant Star Patterns were both at the Eighth Tier, the most top-tier.

Naturally, it was fast.

He didn't know if Dong Zhao's Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern had been comprehended to the Seventh Tier low grade?

Naturally, it was slow.

Xu Jin did not give a reply, but Dong Zhao, upon hearing Song Song Shoujie's order, had already decided to execute it!

Because Song Song Shoujie's order was the most secure method.

With a probability of over ninety percent, they could bring this Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent to the Grand Master!

In that way, their mission would be accomplished!

Therefore, the moment he heard Song Song Shoujie's order, Dong Zhao braved Zhang Lin's frost attack and flew toward Xu Jin.

The severely injured Song Song Shoujie also began to restrain Zhang Lin with all his might, regardless of the cost!

What kind of person was Zhang Lin? With just a single glance, he roughly understood the strategy of Dong Zhao and the others!

With a cold laugh, he beckoned, and a terrifying Frost Giant rose from the ice domain on the ground, then heavily hammered toward Song Song Shoujie.

More than ten streaks of ice starlight also rose from the ice domain and instantly pounced toward Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao dodged left and right, and under continuous bombardment, he was still pulled back to the ground by three streaks of ice starlight, once again falling into the ice domain.

At the same instant, streaks of ice divine light, like lightning, crashed toward Xu Jin.

Zhang Lin had already used his full strength.

Xu Jin's Five Elements lightning was already prepared to be unleashed, and his thoughts were also on the Yellow Dragon Sword.

But just as he was about to strike, he changed his mind!

Under the current circumstances, since the Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie was here, he dared not easily use his Yellow Dragon Sword.

Secondly, under the current circumstances, if he slew Zhang Lin, would this guy Zhang Lin continue to participate in the battle after being reborn?

Nine times out of ten, he wouldn't!

After all, as long as he participated in the battle again after his substitution death and rebirth, he would be facing a three-on-one situation.

The probability of winning was extremely low.

He wasn't stupid; he likely wouldn't do something that was sending himself to his death!

And Xu Jin extremely did not want this guy Zhang Lin to return alive.

In order to create this guaranteed winning opportunity, he even spared no effort to die one more time, using consecutive deaths to paralyze Qi Qi Tian Sheng!

Suddenly, Xu Jin's heart stirred, and he had an idea: execute the Lord Luoshui Marquis Song Song Shoujie's tactic!

The next instant, Xu Jin directly used the Fish Screen Golden Bell to brace against Zhang Lin's ice divine light and rushed in front of Dong Zhao.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dong Zhao directly handed the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent, which he had been binding with star power, to Xu Jin.

"You go quickly; we will stop him!"

Xu Jin, having received the Fire-type Divine Dao True Intent, flapped his Thunder Wings behind him and instantly transformed into a streak of lightning, fleeing.

Zhang Lin was extremely anxious.

While rushing toward Xu Jin, he bombarded Xu Jin wildly with ice divine light.

Originally, Xu Jin could have fled far away in an instant and avoided the ice divine light.

But as his thoughts stirred, Xu Jin slowed down by a fraction, actively taking a hit of the ice divine light; as he stumbled, although his figure flew out, the ice divine light rapidly spread and covered his body, like a maggot on a tarsal bone, and within a short time, it was actually impossible to eliminate, and his speed also slowed down!

Dong Zhao and Song Song Shoujie were shocked.

Both of them exploded with all their might, wanting to stop Zhang Lin!

But both of them were trapped by the ice domain on the ground at this time; as Zhang Lin flew high, the entire ice domain on the ground instantly transformed into two huge ice giants, trapping the two of them tightly.

It was Zhang Lin who directly exploded the power of the ice domain he had continuously accumulated during his previous great battle all at once, trapping the two of them, and then pursued Xu Jin with all his might!

Xu Jin, braving the erosion of the ice divine light, looked at Zhang Lin who was catching up, but couldn't help but sneer.

He was just afraid he wouldn't pursue!

(End of chapter)

Boom!

Just as Zhang Lin's protective star light was propped up, the five-colored lightning poured down, directly shattering Zhang Lin's protective star light.

In his haste, Zhang Lin activated his top-grade Seven Stars Spirit Armor.

But he was still struck by the terrifying lightning, with electricity darting wildly all over his body, and his entire body trembling non-stop.

Caught off guard, the Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead he had been holding in his hand, ready to activate, rolled out of his hand amidst the trembling.

Zhang Lin was terrified.

But at the same instant, whoosh!

The sound barrier of breaking through the air rang out.

Five-fold Flowing Radiance.

Yellow Dragon Sword.

Mountain-Moving Star Art, activated at the same time.

Amidst the roaring sound, Zhang Lin suddenly saw his own shattered Seven Stars Spirit Armor, as well as his own body, which had exploded like a watermelon, and the splashing blood!

"How could it be like this?"

He suddenly realized that he was dead!

He hadn't even used his full strength, and he had been slain!

How could it be like this?

He was extremely surprised!

Suddenly, Zhang Lin realized that he had been tricked, he had been deceived!

No!

He could not die!

He had a bright future!

A beautiful future!

How could he die here!

There was still a chance!

The next instant, Zhang Lin's primordial spirit suddenly flew out and pounced toward the rolling Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead.

Even if only his primordial spirit returned, his master should have a way to reshape his physical body for him!

Now, he must slay Qi Qi Tian Sheng!

Watching Zhang Lin's primordial spirit rush toward the Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead, which was emitting a majestic cold ice aura, Xu Jin was currently activating his divine soul mental energy and star power, preparing to bind Zhang Lin's primordial spirit and capture it alive.

Not to mention holding it for ransom, perhaps he could interrogate it for many valuable things.

However, this guy's primordial spirit actually pounced toward the Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead.

Xu Jin, instantly realizing something, directly activated the Five Elements Divine Thunder hovering above his head with the fastest speed!

Boom!

The five-colored lightning instantly crashed down!

Amidst the sizzling sound, the primordial spirit, having lost the protection of its physical body, was directly blasted into nothingness by the lightning!

Only the Myriad Refinement Cold Star Bead remained, falling rapidly from high in the air!

Without any surprise, it naturally fell into Xu Jin's hands.
