Chapter 455: Wise Choices and Capturing Alive (Seeking double monthly votes)

The primordial spirit of the controlled subject had already been branded and controlled by someone else.

This was the first time Xu Jin had encountered such a situation.

The primordial spirit control technique Xu Jin had learned was taught by the Grand Master, and it had never mentioned how to handle this scenario.

"I will resolve the brand placed on your primordial spirit by the Blood God Child. Once I slay him, it will be fine. For now, I shall also place a primordial spirit brand."

This Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer Black Hei Hei Mu Wang also knew nothing of such primordial spirit secret arts.

He had relied on time and his status as a king to obtain quite a few primordial spirit-type elixirs, only barely managing to condense his primordial spirit.

Therefore, he was not sensitive to this operation of Xu Jin's.

He merely thought it was acceptable.

But before Xu Jin executed it, he suddenly thought: what if I accidentally kill him?

Killing him wouldn't be a pity.

But having finally captured a Wood-element king, he had to squeeze him dry.

"Do you know the Wood Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern?" Xu Jin suddenly asked.

"I do. But this is my clan's bloodline inheritance. Even if I know it, I cannot teach it to you, my lord." This Black Hei Hei Mu Wang was quite sensible and sharp.

Seeing Xu Jin ask this, he knew what Xu Jin meant and added a disclaimer first.

"I don't need you to teach me. You will extract fifteen drops of the Wood Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern inheritance essence blood that you pass to your clansmen for me, and then give me another fifteen drops of your own essence blood." As Xu Jin spoke, he moved his large foot away and let this Black Hei Hei Mu Wang stand up.

"My lord, so much at once, I fear..."

Xu Jin merely snapped his fingers. In the sky, thunderclouds gathered frantically, and lightning snakes flashed wildly within the clouds.

"If you are useless, what use do I have for you?" Xu Jin sneered.

"My lord, I will condense it immediately!" The Black Hei Hei Mu Wang agreed extremely readily.

Immediately, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang began to circulate his clan's secret technique to condense the Star Pattern inheritance essence blood.

With every drop condensed, his aura dropped by a fraction.

This was also the reason why the higher the tier of Star Pattern inheritance within alien races, the rarer it became.

The more inheritance passed on, the more it consumed of oneself.

And the warning signal the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang had sent out earlier was already beginning to show results.

Under the oversight of the Heaven and Earth Authority, two other Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer peak kings searching in other directions were also charging toward Xu Jin's direction.

At the same time, within the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, four more Blood-Clad Vajras were dispatched, charging toward Xu Jin's current location.

From Xu Jin's perspective, this was a textbook example of "adding oil" tactics.

But in the eyes of the Blood God Child Lu Hong, this was an encirclement.

However, those Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer kings were no fools.

They did not fly at maximum speed but instead flew in groups with their companions.

This made Xu Jin overjoyed.

Even if they flew in groups of two or three, they were still arriving in batches.

This actually saved Xu Jin some trouble.

With fifty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority in hand, things were completely different.

The Blood God Child Lu Hong likely had not anticipated this point at all at this moment.

"Do you know the Star Healing Star Pattern?" Xu Jin suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang, who was condensing the Wood Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern inheritance essence blood, trembled all over. He had already anticipated something, but still nodded, "I do!"

"Then condense fifteen drops of the inheritance Star Pattern essence blood for that as well later," Xu Jin said.

The Black Hei Hei Mu Wang's expression was miserable; he did not speak immediately.

Once these thirty drops of inheritance essence blood were condensed, his cultivation would definitely drop by a tier.

"Is there a problem?" Xu Jin frowned.

"No problem."

"Good, then condense them well. Once I take the head of the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang, I will come to collect the goods."

As he spoke, Xu Jin had already soared into the sky again, because the Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer peak Green Qing Qing Shi Wang had already arrived with two subordinates.

The moment Xu Jin left, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang's heart jolted violently, and his instinct was to flee.

Flee as far as he could.

But the moment the thought arose, he recalled the sense of powerlessness from earlier.

The terror of Xu Jin instantly killing his two subordinates earlier!

If he didn't flee, there might still be a path to survival.

But if he fled, he might truly...

"I'll observe first, observe first..." The Black Hei Hei Mu Wang made the smartest choice for himself.

Thirty miles away, the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang arrived with two Seventh Tier, Eighth Layer subordinates. Before they even reached the warning signal location, thunderclouds suddenly condensed out of thin air in all directions.

In an instant, the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's expression changed.

A miracle!

This method was something they had only seen from the Blood God Holy Envoy in the past; that was a true miracle.

Why did it appear here?

Could it be?

Rumbling thunder sounded, triggering countless lightning bolts from within the thunderclouds to pour down.

After only three strikes, the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang was stepped under a large foot, smoke rising from his entire body.

As for the other two subordinates, at this very moment, their heads had long since been blasted into charcoal!

Slap!

Just as the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang, who had heard the rumbling thunder, was listening to observe the movement behind him, three corpses were suddenly thrown down, landing beside him.

To be precise, two corpses and one living person.

That living person was none other than the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang he was familiar with.

When the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang saw him, he had just revealed a look of astonishment when a foot landed, stepping the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's charred head into the ground.

"Hand over your primordial spirit, or die!" Xu Jin's cold voice rang out.

Beside him, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang shivered. While rejoicing that he hadn't run just now, he immediately began to diligently condense the Star Pattern inheritance essence blood!

Isn't it just dropping a tier of cultivation?

What's there to be afraid of!

Being able to live, how good that is!

Must be diligent.

"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over, but my primordial spirit..."

The Green Qing Qing Shi Wang was the same; having been able to surrender to the Blood God Sect before, at this very moment, facing the threat of death, he would naturally surrender to Xu Jin, but he posed the same difficult problem.

His primordial spirit had also been controlled by the Blood God Child Lu Hong.

"Hmm, don't worry, I will resolve it. Just release your primordial spirit."

Upon hearing this, the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang was extremely uneasy.

Is this something that can be resolved so easily?

But with his life in Xu Jin's hands, he could only cooperate.

The primordial spirit flew out from his body, but the person who captured him was slow to act.

Beside him, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang was also anxious.

But he was merely puzzled and dared not slack off.

Xu Jin did not act; instead, he was using the Mandarin Duck Seal to contact the Grand Master, asking about the issue of primordial spirit control.

Very quickly, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao sent a starlight message to Xu Jin.

【A primordial spirit brand can theoretically only be unlocked by the caster, or resolved upon the caster's death.

As for your idea of overwriting the brand with stronger primordial spirit power, or removing the brand, no one has ever experimented with such things.

Or rather, someone might have, but I do not know of it.

After all, experimental subjects are very rare; there are not many alien races that condense primordial spirits.

If you have the opportunity, you can try it.】

Even the Grand Master didn't know, so Xu Jin could only try.

His vast primordial spirit divine sense wrapped around the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's small primordial spirit, and in an instant, he sensed the primordial spirit brand injected by the Blood God Child.

It was a type of brand that seemed to penetrate the bone marrow, omnipresent.

Even if a portion of the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's primordial spirit were separated, this brand, this control, would still remain.

This was the first time Xu Jin had observed a primordial spirit brand so realistically.

Eradicate it?

Xu Jin only had to see it to understand that this was impossible.

No matter how powerful the primordial spirit divine sense was, it could not eradicate it.

Overwriting it, perhaps that could be tried.

The next instant, Xu Jin used his own primordial spirit divine sense aura to slowly penetrate the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's primordial spirit, wanting to overwrite the Blood God Child's primordial spirit brand with a stronger one.

But the moment the primordial spirit divine sense was injected, that brand, which penetrated every point of the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's primordial spirit like veins, was suddenly activated.

Then it violently exploded!

Bang!

The exploding primordial spirit brand directly blew up the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's primordial spirit. Blood gushed from the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's seven orifices, and in an instant, he lost all signs of life. Beside him, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang, watching this scene, shivered again.

Thinking that he had almost been the experiment subject earlier, he trembled even more.

Xu Jin naturally noticed this.

"You are useful, so I won't use you for experiments! However, the premise is that you must be obedient and complete my tasks! Otherwise, as long as you are within this Falling Plum Star Domain, you will never escape the palm of my hand."

"Understood, understood!"

The Black Hei Hei Mu Wang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, condensing the Star Pattern inheritance essence blood even more diligently.

At the same time, the Blood God Child Lu Hong, who was still recovering his physical body, suddenly shook all over and opened his eyes.

"The Green Qing Qing Shi Wang has actually been killed in battle!"

The Blood God Child Lu Hong could only sense that the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang's primordial spirit had collapsed and he had died in battle, but he did not know the more specific circumstances.

But this discovery filled the Blood God Child Lu Hong with terror.

According to the previous teams, there were at least two Seventh Tier late-stage experts with the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang.

Now, the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang was dead, so the other two must also be in dire straits.

How could this Fifth Tier, Ninth Layer human from the current era be so monstrous?

The Blood God Child Lu Hong had also heard of many peerless geniuses among current-era humans!

Peerless geniuses who could slay Seventh Tier experts at the Sixth Tier appeared one after another in history.

But most were one-on-one.

This Fifth Tier, Ninth Layer individual, barely counting as Sixth Tier, slaying a Seventh Tier, Ninth Layer peak expert was already unbelievable.

And he had killed three in a row.

This...

For a moment, the Blood God Child Lu Hong even doubted his own past knowledge!

"No, if he has such strength, wouldn't he pick them off one by one!"

"Issue an order immediately, command all Seventh Tier experts to travel in groups, at least five people.

No, at least seven people traveling together!

Order them to prioritize defense; if they discover the enemy, fight while retreating."

It would have been fine not to issue the order, but once he did, the Blood God Child Lu Hong felt like vomiting blood!

The order was issued, but how to transmit it to those people was a big problem.

In the past, such a channel had never been established.

Because he had the Heaven and Earth Authority.

As long as he moved his thoughts, the order would be transmitted directly into the target's mind.

Ultra-long-range command.

Making his orders highly timely and extremely convenient.

But today, after losing the Heaven and Earth Authority, it was extremely uncomfortable!

"Issue an order, assemble all Sixth Tier and Fifth Tier experts, form at least one hundred search-and-kill squads!"

"You few, immediately pick the sharp and fast ones to act as messengers, build a communication system first!"

The Blood God Child Lu Hong was furious.

He must snatch back that Heaven and Earth Authority.

Otherwise, it was too troublesome!

But all of this was not something a few people could complete in a short time.

At the same time, two thousand miles away, Xu Jin had just followed the same method to capture the Water Lei Lingwang who came to support.

Then he threw him beside the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang.

"Do you know Water Elephant?" Xu Jin asked.

"My lord, I should know it, but my bloodline has never awakened the Water Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern," the Water Lei Lingwang answered honestly.

"Hmm, release your primordial spirit, I want to impose control," Xu Jin said, wanting to continue experimenting.

The Water Lei Lingwang naturally gave the same response, and Xu Jin gave the same response.

Ten breaths later, amidst the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang's anxiety, with a bang, the Water Lei Lingwang's primordial spirit exploded, and he died silently.

Xu Jin shook his head helplessly.

The experiment failed again!

And there wasn't the slightest possibility.

It seems that wanting to eradicate or overwrite someone else's primordial spirit brand with powerful primordial spirit divine sense is simply impossible!

Suddenly, in the God's-eye view of the Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin discovered that a warning signal had been raised within the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, causing those Seventh Tier experts to concentrate back toward the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng.

The God's-eye view fell into the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, and he saw the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng in chaos.

The Blood Spirit Child Lu Hong, who had just recovered his physical body, was also rebuilding the command system.

As for issuing the warning signal to recall the Seventh Tier experts, this was Lu Hong's latest brilliant move after discovering the Water Lei Lingwang had been killed in battle.

Seeing this, Xu Jin smiled.

The most threatening alien kings had already been resolved; next, it was time to resolve the Blood Spirit Child Lu Hong.

Conveniently, Xu Jin dug out all the star cores from the seven corpses beside him, harvesting a full one hundred and twenty Seventh Tier star cores.

These were all treasures.

If he could obtain the method to make Pure Pearls in the future, he would make a fortune.

"Diligently condense the essence blood inheritance Star Patterns. Once finished, come to the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng to see me," Xu Jin ordered the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang.

Upon hearing this, the Black Hei Hei Mu Wang's expression tightened, "My lord, the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng is..."

"I'm going now."

The next instant, Xu Jin transformed into lightning and disappeared.

The Black Hei Hei Mu Wang thought for a moment, and in the end, chose to continue condensing the Star Pattern inheritance essence blood!

Dropping a tier or two of cultivation was better than dying in battle!

Better to be obedient.

Others wanted to live but had no value.

The Black Hei Hei Mu Wang's gaze swept over the corpses of the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang and Water Lei Lingwang.

Under the blessing of the Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin's speed was extremely fast.

Before most of the Seventh Tier experts returned to the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, Xu Jin had already arrived at the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng.

Inside the Blood Xue Ling Shengcheng, the Blood Spirit Child Lu Hong was struggling with his confidants of the Blood God Sect, trying to think of a feasible long-range communication method.

They couldn't just rely on shouting forever.

But suddenly, the world darkened.

As the Blood God Child Lu Hong looked up, he saw the previously clear sky suddenly filled with leaden thunderclouds gathering from all directions.

In just one or two breaths, the thunderclouds pressed down on the city, bringing a terrifying pressure that was impossible to describe!

"Damn it, what kind of weather is this? Why did the sky change so suddenly? There has never been such a thing before!" a Blood-Clad Jin Gang complained.

This complaint suddenly woke the dreamer.

It made the Blood God Lu Hong react instantly, and his expression revealed an indescribable look of terror!

Heaven and Earth Authority!

That human from the current era had actually refined and controlled the authority he had lost in such a short time!

Damn it, he had spent several days refining it back then!

And, he seemed to be using it even more smoothly than he did!

Suddenly, the Blood God Child Lu Hong understood why the Green Qing Qing Shi Wang and Wood Lei Lingwang had died!

With the blessing of this Heaven and Earth Authority, coupled with that current-era human's terrifying strength, slaying those two kings was simply too easy!

Although desperate, the Blood God still wanted to struggle a bit.

"Enemy attack, meet the enemy!"

The Blood God Child Lu Hong roared angrily, and at the same time, pointed in a certain direction; he had already seen Xu Jin.

Instantly, the Seventh Tier and Sixth Tier experts in the city soared into the sky, charging toward Xu Jin.

Rumbling!

Amidst the rolling thunder, those blood-colored figures that soared into the sky fell just as fast as they had risen!

What soared into the sky were living people, but what fell down were dead people like charcoal!

One by one, they fell like dumplings.

The Blood God Child Lu Hong's pupils shrank repeatedly, his expression becoming incomparably terrified.

Xu Jin took a step forward and suddenly appeared in front of the Blood God Child Lu Hong.

Lei Guang fell instantly.

With just one strike, the Blood God Child Lu Hong was blasted to the ground.

The next instant, the ground seemed to come alive, sprouting countless earthy-yellow rays of light that bound the Blood God Child Lu Hong tightly to the ground.

Captured alive!

In the Blood God Child Lu Hong's terrified eyes, Xu Jin slowly landed in front of him and asked softly, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

"Who exactly are you?"

While Lu Hong asked back, he suddenly laughed loudly, "Die? We Blood God Sect Blood God Children cannot be killed! You use this to threaten me..."

"If you die one more time, your primordial spirit cultivation will drop to the Third Tier, right?"

The Blood God Child Lu Hong, who was laughing loudly, instantly lost all sound, as if his neck had been pinched, and his expression became terrified.
