Chapter 530: Just What You Wanted

Within the four-colored chaotic area, Xu Jin was searching rapidly; once he discovered a seventh-tier ninth-layer peak cultivator, whether it was from the Blood God Sect or an Eight Desolations alien race, he would strike ruthlessly without any hesitation.

Currently, Xu Jin had already slain nine seventh-tier ninth-layer peaks.

Seven Eight Desolations alien races, two Blood God Sect disciples!

The harvest was also not small.

Especially from the Eight Desolations alien races, he not only harvested the Heaven and Earth star will left behind after slaying phantom spirits, but also obtained their Sumeru spaces, harvesting many cultivation resources.

But overall, none of them had as much as the first Jin Zhu alien race.

In the hands of ordinary seventh-tier ninth-layer peak Eight Desolations alien races, there was usually only one seventh-tier Pure Pearl, and two were extremely rare.

Sixth-tier Pure Pearls were also within ten.

However, the number of Pure Pearls possessed by the Jin Zhu alien race was slightly more, with the fewest possessing two seventh-tier Pure Pearls, and more possessing three or four.

"Hmm? Another one!"

Suddenly, as Xu Jin's lightning wings vibrated fiercely, Xu Jin turned instantly and pounced toward a place four thousand meters to the right.

There, there was an aura of a seventh-tier ninth-layer peak.

With Xu Jin's current cultivation of forging the eighteenth layer of the Eight-Cornered Cloud Tower, contending with these seventh-tier ninth-layer peak elites, even those of genius level, was a crushing victory.

So Xu Jin rushed over at the moment, instantly pushing his speed to the limit, and his aura was not restrained at all, murderous intent soaring to the sky.

Ju Qi, who was in deep cultivation, was instantly startled by this movement.

At just one glance, he was stunned.

That speed was too fast!

Although it was only the cultivation aura of a sixth-tier ninth-layer peak, that speed was faster than any early-stage eighth-tier powerhouse he had ever seen.

In an instant, he realized something.

At the same time, he even more recalled the instructions of the elders in his tribe before following the elder Ju Song to the Eight Desolations Continent to execute the mission.

If you encounter a cultivator who is extremely dazzling in some aspects but whose cultivation is not high, you must be extremely careful and prioritize survival.

Such cultivators are very likely extremely rare peerless geniuses.

Although the probability is extremely small, in front of true peerless geniuses, ordinary geniuses are forever just foils.

Prioritize caution and survival.

At the first opportunity, Ju Qi activated all his defenses and instantly turned into a ray of starlight, turning around and fleeing.

This left Xu Jin stunned.

This guy before him had a fast enough reaction.

You, a seventh-tier ninth-layer peak, in front of him, a sixth-tier ninth-layer peak, what are you running for?

And they were still six or seven li apart.

But in the face of the gap in strength, fast reaction was useless.

Xu Jin's majestic divine sense trembled slightly, and his entire person disappeared on the spot instantly.

Space shifting.

The next instant, Xu Jin's figure suddenly appeared in front of where Ju Qi was fleeing.

Ju Qi was shocked, his body turning sharply.

But it was already too late.

Boom!

Five-colored Five-Element Divine Thunder had already blasted down onto his head!

One Five-Element Divine Thunder directly shattered the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure that Ju Qi was fully activating, and even shattered Ju Qi's protective starlight and defensive star art, blasting Ju Qi until he sprayed blood from his mouth.

Failing to kill him in one strike, Xu Jin let out a light "huh," and as his divine sense stirred, he blasted another Five-Element Divine Thunder down onto his head!

"Great One, spare my life!"

Terrified, the blood-spraying Ju Qi begged for mercy, and at the same time threw out two seventh-tier star pearls for life-saving; the majestic starlight spread out, but in front of Xu Jin's Five-Element Divine Thunder, it was like paper.

Being shattered one after another, seeing that this Ju Qi was about to be blasted into slag, Xu Jin's heart stirred slightly.

As his divine sense stirred, two space barriers fell out of thin air onto Ju Qi's head, blocking the pouring Five-Element Divine Thunder.

It was also fortunate that Ju Qi himself was fully protecting his life and threw out two seventh-tier life-saving star pearls to block the lightning light; otherwise, even if Xu Jin wanted to save him, he wouldn't have had the chance.

The speed of the Five-Element Divine Thunder was too fast!

Ju Qi had originally thought he would definitely die, but suddenly, the lightning light disappeared.

Looking up, he saw this human of the sixth-tier ninth-layer peak who was staring at him coldly, and in his palm, a cluster of terrifying five-colored lightning was jumping and leaping.

At just one glance, Ju Qi abandoned the idea of taking the opportunity to flee.

Based on the strength this person had just shown, he was stronger than the tribe members of the mid-stage eighth tier he had seen.

He even suspected that if his early-stage eighth-tier tribe brother came, he wouldn't be an opponent either.

In this situation, there was no possibility of escape.

Now that the other party had held back, he had a chance to live.

"Please spare my life, Great One!"

Xu Jin stared coldly at Ju Qi, "Kneel!"

Ju Qi didn't even hesitate for half a second and knelt down with a "thud."

This counted as Xu Jin's obedience test, and this Ju Qi passed the test.

"Spare your life? Then what value do you have?" Xu Jin said coldly.

"Whatever the Great One wants me to do, I will do; I only beg to live!" Ju Qi directly kowtowed and begged for mercy; he was still young.

Within the Jin Zhu tribe, his age was at most that of a youth, with a bright future, and an even brighter future ahead; he didn't want to die in a remote and desolate place.

"Release your divine soul." Xu Jin didn't have any nonsense and said only four words.

In an instant, Ju Qi understood what this terrifying sixth-tier ninth-layer peak cultivator before him wanted to do!

Hesitating for only an instant, he released his divine soul.

To seek survival, how could he not pay a price!

Furthermore, submitting to a powerhouse, submitting to this kind of peerless genius, was not shameful.

"Do not resist!"

Seeing this Ju Qi release his divine soul, Xu Jin's Yuan Ling phantom directly floated out from behind his brain, and then, according to the method of controlling the divine soul taught by the Grand Master, he performed the strongest divine soul imprint.

Normal divine soul control only leaves an imprint, facilitating the control of life and death.

But the strongest divine soul control not only requires leaving a divine soul imprint, but also requires condensing the divine soul imprint into threads and refining them into the Yuan Ling of the controller.

It is also called the Thousand-Thread Imprint.

Generally speaking, it is only used on seventh-tier or eighth-tier powerhouses who have forged a Yuan Ling.

The divine soul imprints left in the Yuan Ling of Master Qi Qi Shanye and Uncle-Master Mo Ji were this kind of Thousand-Thread Imprint, but compared to the one Xu Jin activated, they were still quite a bit worse.

The reason for using this Thousand-Thread Imprint was first, this Ju Qi had forged a Yuan Ling, and his Yuan Ling cultivation was not weak, actually about to reach the mid-stage Yuan Ling.

Second, this Ju Qi, if Xu Jin controlled him and didn't kill him, then this Ju Qi had the possibility of breaking through to the eighth tier, so he had to strengthen the control.

Looking at the powerhouse before him performing the strongest Thousand-Thread Imprint on himself, Ju Qi sighed in his heart, but still took a look at Xu Jin.

"Hiss!"

At just one glance, Ju Qi gasped.

Oppression!

He couldn't see the depth of this powerhouse's Yuan Ling aura, and it actually brought him extremely strong oppression!

One had to know that he had been cultivated by the tribe since he was young, and his Yuan Ling cultivation was not bad.

Then this person before him...

Ju Qi felt more and more that the person before him was the kind of peerless genius that was hard to encounter in hundreds of years that his grandfather spoke of.

In his heart, he didn't dare to have even the slightest bit of resistance.

Xu Jin focused on refining the Thousand-Thread Imprint.

As for controlling a Jin Zhu alien race and keeping him alive, it was not Xu Jin's temporary whim.

Xu Jin had previously thought about a question while searching and sweeping in the four-colored chaotic rosy light area: if when the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm ended, the seventh-tier ninth-layer peak cultivators of the Blood God Sect and the Eight Desolations alien races all disappeared and not a single one came out, what would happen?

If that extreme situation truly occurred, the Eight Desolations alien races, no matter how stupid, would know that a major problem had occurred within the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm. Under the huge loss, they would absolutely tear off their masks.

Nine times out of ten, they would strictly interrogate the cultivators who came out alive, especially the Blood God Sect disciples, and even use soul-searching secret arts.

Once that extreme situation appeared, the Protectors of the Blood God Sect would likely not be reliable either.

If that extreme situation truly appeared, not only would Xu Jin have to stage a desperate escape, but if his Master Qi Qi Shanye and Uncle-Master Mo Ji were not careful, they would also die on the spot.

So after careful consideration, Xu Jin felt that it was still necessary to keep a few seventh-tier ninth-layer Eight Desolations alien races.

He wouldn't keep the Blood God Sect ones.

As long as the Blood God Sect's losses were more miserable than the Eight Desolations alien races', then the Eight Desolations Royal Court would not tear off their masks on the spot, even if they suffered heavy losses.

As long as they left smoothly, it wouldn't matter.

Therefore, keeping a small portion of the seventh-tier ninth-layer peak Eight Desolations alien races was a must.

But just letting them go like this, Xu Jin was unwilling.

Especially since a portion of these Eight Desolations cultivators had the possibility of breaking through to the eighth tier.

Thus, this scene before him came to be.

Normal divine soul imprints are formed in a few breaths.

But this Thousand-Thread Imprint took Xu Jin a full quarter of an hour to thoroughly complete.

Subsequently, Xu Jin used the Star Official Seal to leave behind several specific and direct divine soul seals.

Divine soul seals had relatively large limitations; they had to be very specific, and vague ones were basically useless.

Xu Jin was also to restrict this Ju Qi from seeking help from the elders in the tribe and leaking the fact that his divine soul was controlled, so he used the Star Official Seal to activate divine soul seals to supplement it.

"Pure Pearls, all kinds of spirit herbs, give them all to me; take out all the items in your Sumeru space, and I will choose what to use." Xu Jin issued the first order.

"Yes."

In a short time, Ju Qi had already resigned himself to his fate and was fully cooperative.

Treasures like the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure, he didn't have a second one.

But he contributed a full four seventh-tier Pure Pearls, and his personal wealth was even a bit more than the first Ju Tao Xu Jin had slain.

"Follow me; in a while, when we search for your tribe members, I will give the order, and you will attack." Xu Jin shouted.

"Great One, why is this? My tribe members have about the same cultivation as me; I can't beat them." Ju Qi said helplessly; in fact, he was unwilling to attack his own tribe members.

After attacking his own tribe members, he would have no way back.

"A pledge of allegiance, understand?"

Ju Qi was silent.

Having mixed in the Eight Desolations Continent for so long, he had long understood the pledge of allegiance.

He knew that this terrifying sixth-tier ninth-layer peak powerhouse before him was cutting off his way back.

Making him thoroughly submit.

Even if there was a chance in the future, he wouldn't dare to resist easily.

No matter where it was, killing one's own tribe members for the sake of survival was a grave crime, a capital crime that could not be forgiven.

After a long while, Ju Qi nodded helplessly, "Great One, I understand."

He had no choice.

Ever since the moment he chose to surrender and beg for survival at the moment of life and death, many choices had already moved far away from him.

"Of course, if there are suitable ones, you can persuade them to surrender."

"I understand."

Before leaving, Xu Jin naturally took away all four strands of Heaven and Earth star will left behind by the four-colored phantom spirit Ju Qi had slain, which left Ju Qi incomparably surprised.

"Great One, this cannot be taken away?"

"Cannot?" Xu Jin turned his head and sneered.

The next instant, Ju Qi smiled bitterly, "Great One, I have participated in the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm several times; the elders in the tribe specifically instructed us that those who have forged a Yuan Ling cannot collect the Heaven and Earth star will left behind after slaying phantom spirits.

If too much is collected, it will ruin the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm.

But here with you, Great One, collecting it is collecting it."

"Ruin this Limit-Breaking Secret Realm?"

As Xu Jin pondered, many things had already been figured out.

This Limit-Breaking Secret Realm actually relied on this massive amount of Heaven and Earth star will to exert the effect of improving cultivation and assisting in breaking through realms; it was actually about the same as Xu Jin's Arena of Battle Lamp Domain, only Xu Jin's Arena of Battle Lamp Domain's scope of action was very small.

Suppose that when Xu Jin activated the Arena of Battle Lamp Domain to assist Master Qi Qi Shanye and others in comprehending star patterns, Master Qi Qi Shanye took away the Law Stars inside; that would be draining the pond to get all the fish, and it would ruin the Arena of Battle Lamp Domain.

Hearing Ju Qi say this now.

Xu Jin had another idea.

Things the enemy doesn't want to happen are the things he wants to happen.

But

While lost in thought, Xu Jin had already figured out many things.

This Secret Realm of Breaking Limits actually relies on a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Star Will to exert its effect of boosting cultivation and assisting in breaking limits; it is actually quite similar to Xu Jin's Arena Lamp Domain, only that the effective range of Xu Jin's Arena Lamp Domain is extremely small.

If Xu Jin were to activate his Arena Lamp Domain to assist Master Qi Qi Shanye and the others in comprehending star patterns, and Master Qi Qi Shanye were to take away the Law Stars inside, that would be draining the pond to catch the fish, which would destroy the Arena Lamp Domain.

Hearing Ju Qi say this now,

Xu Jin had another idea.

Things the enemy does not want to happen are exactly the things he wants to make happen.

But he could not destroy it on the spot.

However, it was unlikely that Xu Jin had the ability to completely destroy this Secret Realm of Breaking Limits.

But significantly weakening its power was still possible.

A quarter of an hour later, before the next target had been found, Ju Qi encountered a second four-colored phantom spirit; after easily killing it, the four strands of Heaven and Earth Star Will went to Xu Jin.

Ju Qi also revealed the answer to the mystery for Xu Jin.

"My lord, in this Secret Realm of Breaking Limits, everything has a fixed number. For example, in the four-colored chaotic glow range, each person can only encounter the four-colored phantom spirit twice every seven days."

"A cycle of seven days?" Xu Jin already had an idea in his mind.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin led Ju Qi to find another seventh-tier, ninth-layer peak alien of the Eight Desolations; with a single order, Ju Qi charged up.

Xu Jin watched from the sidelines the entire time, only offering slight assistance in the middle to let Ju Qi directly slay this alien.

The pledge of allegiance was basically completed.

But this was only the beginning.

Two days later, the Eight Desolations aliens following behind Xu Jin had turned into five.

The number of seventh-tier, ninth-layer peak and seventh-tier late-stage aliens of the Eight Desolations who had died at their hands had accumulated to seventeen.

Calculating the total, the number of seventh-tier Eight Desolations aliens finished off had already reached twenty-six.

While they were searching, the glow before their eyes suddenly turned five-colored; they had reached a five-colored chaotic glow area once again.

"Alright, I am going to explore this place. You five, with Ju Qi as the leader, search for and gather your clansmen, practice together, and then wait for me to contact you," Xu Jin ordered.

"My lord, gather the clansmen? Should we kill them or not?" one of those controlled asked.

"Do not kill them, just gather them together to practice normally. Wait until I have finished exploring this five-colored chaotic glow area, then I will contact you for further instructions," Xu Jin arranged.

"Understood. My lord, what if we run into Blood God Sect disciples?" Ju Qi asked, knowing that this terrifying powerhouse before him was from the Blood God Sect.

"Do not kill them, just note their location," Xu Jin instructed.

"Understood."

Just as Xu Jin turned around, Ju Qi suddenly spoke up to remind him, "My lord, the clan elders say the five-colored chaotic glow area is a forbidden zone, and it is incomparably dangerous inside?"

"If I die inside, wouldn't that be exactly what you want!"

Xu Jin said with a laugh, and with one step, he entered the five-colored chaotic glow area.

Leaving only the five of them, including Ju Qi, staring at each other in dismay—both worried and expectant!
