Chapter 534

Within the four-colored chaotic mist region, Xu Jin and his group were moving forward.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's gaze shifted as he sensed something, and he abruptly barked, "Ju Qi, you take the lead; act according to the plan."

Nine miles away, two eighth-tier early-stage Golden Pillar aliens were searching with five seventh-tier aliens, only one of whom was Xu Jin's previous captive.

The true enemies were the two eighth-tier and four seventh-tier aliens.

On Xu Jin's side, excluding himself, there were four seventh-tier experts, all of whom were at the peak of the seventh-tier ninth layer.

Theoretically, there was no problem.

But Xu Jin wanted a bigger harvest; on the way here, he had already devised a combat plan.

The next instant, Ju Qi and another seventh-tier expert walked to the front of Xu Jin, while the other seventh-tier expert and Xu Jin walked side-by-side behind them.

To the eye, Xu Jin looked just like a Blood God Sect captive controlled by them.

After advancing only a few breaths, the team opposite them also discovered this side; in an instant, star power surged, murderous intent flared, and almost simultaneously, Ju Qi accelerated away from the team, smiling as he greeted them, "Lord Ju Rui."

Seeing that it was Ju Qi coming up, the leading eighth-tier powerhouse Ju Rui relaxed instantly—they were his own people.

As for Xu Jin following behind them, they naturally assumed he was a Blood God Sect cultist controlled as a captive.

"Where is Ju Feng?" Ju Rui asked.

At the mention of Ju Feng, Ju Qi's expression instantly turned solemn, "Two Lords, Lord Ju Feng met with an accident."

"What accident?" Both eighth-tier experts looked at Ju Qi simultaneously.

Whoosh!

A massive spiritual soul fluctuation and a terrifying sonic boom sounded at the exact same moment.

Just as these two eighth-tier experts looked at Ju Qi, Xu Jin made his move.

The leading Ju Rui was hit by Xu Jin's mental blade blast; his spiritual soul cultivation was only at the early stage of the fifth-tier Primordial Spirit.

Yet Xu Jin's spiritual soul cultivation had not only reached the peak of the Primordial Spirit but had also broken through its limits.

The direct radiation distance of his recent Primordial Spirit fetal light had reached a staggering 48.7 meters.

Even if Ju Rui's spiritual soul cultivation reached the limit of the early fifth-tier Primordial Spirit, it was only 14.9 meters.

Theoretically, Xu Jin's spiritual soul cultivation was more than three times his.

Pfft!

In an instant, Ju Rui's seven orifices sprayed blood, and his head felt like it was splitting.

At the same time, as the sonic boom covered the area, Xu Jin, having activated Flowing Shimmer, had already used the Yellow Dragon Sword to pierce and shatter the head of the other early eighth-tier Golden Pillar alien.

This early eighth-tier alien remained dazed until his Primordial Spirit escaped, having not reacted at all to what had happened.

Only when he saw the human who had shattered his head split the head of the screaming Ju Rui with a single sword strike did he react, subconsciously pointing at Xu Jin and roaring, "Kill!"

Boom!

Thunder light descended, and the Primordial Spirit that had just reacted was instantly blasted into ashes.

Thunder light flashed again, and Ju Rui's Primordial Spirit, which had just escaped, was also blasted into ashes.

Until his death, the early eighth-tier Ju Rui never realized what had happened.

Let alone Ju Rui, even the other four seventh-tier aliens who hadn't been attacked were stunned.

They hadn't reacted at all.

In barely a second, two eighth-tier experts had perished just like that?

And it was the kind where both body and soul were destroyed?

Slaughtering a pig wouldn't be this fast, right?

At the same time, the four seventh-tier aliens whose spiritual souls were controlled by Xu Jin, led by Ju Qi, surrounded the other four seventh-tier aliens.

"What are you doing? Ju Qi, do you know what you are doing?" a seventh-tier alien with a golden horn on its head roared.

"Noisy!"

A massive spiritual soul fluctuation rose, and in an instant, this seventh-tier alien's seven orifices sprayed blood.

The next moment, sword light flashed, and the head soared into the sky.

The moment the Primordial Spirit embryo escaped, it was directly blasted into nothingness by Xu Jin's thunder light.

"Who else has an objection?" Xu Jin sneered while holding his sword, his massive spiritual sense sweeping over the remaining three seventh-tier aliens; not one dared to meet Xu Jin's gaze.

"No objections? Then release your spiritual souls."

Just as Xu Jin's voice fell, a seventh-tier late-stage alien with wings on its back suddenly erupted with the most massive star power of its life, using the fastest speed of its life, and with a flap of its wings, it appeared three miles away.

The moment everyone looked over, it had already appeared six miles away.

It was trying to rely on speed to escape.

"Stupid!"

With a sneer, Xu Jin vanished into thin air.

He appeared thirteen miles away.

The moment he appeared, he threw out a Five Elements Divine Thunder with a flick of his hand.

The alien, who was fleeing frantically, saw Xu Jin suddenly appear before it, and a look of horror surfaced in its eyes.

Boom!

Amidst the thunder, this alien directly turned into ashes; as the physical body dissipated, the spiritual soul dissipated directly—it was an alien that hadn't even condensed a Primordial Spirit embryo.

Rather than saying it was bold, it was more that it was confident in its own speed.

Casually pulling out the Sumeru space of this alien, there were only five sixth-tier Pure Pearls, not even a single seventh-tier Pure Pearl; tossing it into his own Sumeru space, Xu Jin's thunder wings flashed repeatedly, and he had already returned to the front of Ju Qi and the others.

"What about you two?" Xu Jin looked at the other two seventh-tier aliens and asked coldly.

With just one sentence, these two seventh-tier aliens knelt halfway before Xu Jin and, under Ju Qi's scolding, began to release their spiritual souls according to Xu Jin's requirements.

Xu Jin was not in a hurry; instead, he first dug out all the star cores from the two eighth-tier experts and asked casually, as if by accident, "Can you all produce eighth-tier Pure Pearls?"

"Lord, the technique for producing Pure Pearls is a top-secret of our clan; we do not know it," Ju Qi said.

"Lord, we do not know."

"Top secret? Then where did so many Pure Pearls in the Eight Desolations Continent come from?" Xu Jin asked.

The other aliens all shook their heads in ignorance, only Ju Qi said, "Lord, Pure Pearls are the foundation of our Golden Pillar Holy Clan in the Ancestral Realm. It is said that clansmen who know how to produce Pure Pearls, once they choose the path of producing Pure Pearls, have all the wealth and glory they could want, but they lose their freedom for life."

"Lose their freedom? Are they locked up?" Xu Jin asked.

"Lord, I am not very clear on this point; I have only occasionally heard clan elders mention it. It is certainly not the kind of being locked in a prison; it should be that once they enter a certain place, they can never come out again for the rest of their lives, and can only produce Pure Pearls," Ju Qi said.

"As for the Pure Pearls of the Eight Desolations Continent, they should be sent from the Ancestral Realm.

Sending clansmen over from the Ancestral Realm requires paying a huge price, but sending items is not difficult," Ju Qi said.

Hearing this, Xu Jin secretly sighed in regret.

He had been thinking that if he could find out information on how to produce Pure Pearls, he would try every means to get his hands on it.

Even paying a price would be acceptable.

Once the method for producing Pure Pearls was successfully obtained, it would be revolutionary for the cultivation speed of the current world.

Of course, Ju Qi only had a partial understanding.

If there was a chance in the future, he would still need to continue inquiring.

Very quickly, a smile surfaced in Xu Jin's eyes; the harvest the two eighth-tier aliens gave him was still quite good.

Two seventh-tier low-grade Seven-Star Spirit Armors, each carrying five seventh-tier Pure Pearls, twenty sixth-tier Pure Pearls, two fifth-tier spiritual medicines for the spiritual soul, and several dozen seventh-tier Star Jade Tablets.

The harvest was a little less than that from the eighth-tier mid-stage Ju Feng, but only a little less.

Besides this, he had also harvested two golden single horns.

The reason the eighth-tier Golden Pillar aliens only used Seven-Star Spirit Armor and no weapons was that the golden single horn on their heads was itself the most powerful amplifier of their star power and also their sharpest weapon.

An early eighth-tier golden single horn was comparable to a seventh-tier high-grade Seven-Star Spirit Treasure.

Therefore, they only used Seven-Star Spirit Armor.

And their golden single horns, even without refining, had power comparable to a seventh-tier low-grade Seven-Star Spirit Treasure.

If refined, the power would increase linearly.

For these Golden Pillar aliens, after the eighth tier, the stronger their cultivation, the more powerful the golden single horn on their heads.

Xu Jin had harvested three today.

Counting Ju Xuan's, Xu Jin already had four golden single horns in his hands. However, Ju Xuan's golden single horn was clearly much stronger than the three harvested today.

It was a pity that there were no master refiners in the current world capable of crafting Seven-Star Spirit Treasures; otherwise, he could have refined one or two.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin controlled the spiritual souls of the other two seventh-tier aliens using the Thousand-Thread Brand.

Thus, the number of aliens controlled by Xu Jin had reached eight.

Among them were six at the peak of the seventh-tier ninth layer and two at the mid-to-late seventh tier.

From the mouths of the two aliens just subdued, he learned that the two eighth-tier experts had found a total of three seventh-tier Blood God Sect cultists, and after a little coercion, they had all surrendered.

This point did not exceed Xu Jin's expectations.

The source of Blood God Sect cultists was essentially like this.

By comparison, these Eight Desolations aliens still had quite a few hard bones who would rather die than submit.

But Xu Jin had not yet seen any hard bones within the Blood God Sect.

Perhaps only among the true core high-level members could there possibly be hard bones.

Next, Xu Jin began his journey of nibbling away.

Taking the aliens he controlled, he ran from the four-colored chaotic region to the single-colored chaotic region; they were responsible for triggering the phantom spirits and killing them, while Xu Jin was responsible for collecting the Heaven and Earth Star Will left behind.

Although they had already walked through it once, each region had only encountered one or two phantom spirits previously.

Walking through it again still allowed Xu Jin to harvest quite a bit of Heaven and Earth Star Will.

It just so happened that the seven-day period had passed, and according to Ju Qi, a new round had begun.

Xu Jin was like someone farming monsters for treasure, rushing all the way from the single-colored chaotic region to the four-colored chaotic region; for the eight aliens, Xu Jin would kill the phantom spirits in every region for every alien.

Occasionally, he would encounter sixth-tier aliens and sixth-tier Blood God Sect cultists.

Blood God Sect cultists were all blasted to death, because every Blood God Sect cultist already had their spiritual soul controlled; Xu Jin could not control them, and keeping them was just a disaster.

For sixth-tier aliens, those willing to surrender were allowed to have their spiritual souls controlled by Ju Qi and the other aliens, and then used to farm Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Those who were unwilling and hard-boned were just blasted to death with a thunder strike, without wasting words.

Overall, in this limit-breaking secret realm, without deliberately searching, the probability of encountering others was still very low.

The land was vast and people were extremely sparse.

If lucky, one could encounter one or two seventh-tier experts in a day; if unlucky, one couldn't encounter even a single seventh-tier expert.

After the second round ended, Xu Jin let Ju Qi and the others go to the four-colored chaotic mist region to meditate, to see if any could break through.

If anyone could break through to the eighth tier, it would also be a good thing for Xu Jin.

In the future, at a critical moment, they could also play a role.

As for Xu Jin himself, he constantly activated the Bright Era Star Pattern, searching for other seventh-tier aliens and Blood God Sect cultists.

Especially the seventh-tier ninth-layer peak cultists of the Blood God Sect; Xu Jin did not leave a single one.

For late-stage seventh-tier ones, he would leave a small portion.

For seventh-tier aliens, Xu Jin would accept those willing to surrender, and blast to death those hard bones who wouldn't.

Basically, for every two, there was one hard bone, which was then blasted into slag.

Besides searching, Xu Jin constantly returned to the core region of the limit-breaking secret realm, checking the consumption of that complete Law Power.

The result was that his nibbling was very effective.

After the first round passed, that Law Power had already decreased by nearly one-third.

During the second round, because the number of aliens subdued was quite large, the Law Power decreased directly by a large margin, decreasing by nearly half.

This made Xu Jin become cautious when nibbling during the third round.

He was afraid that if he took too much, this Law Power would collapse, and then bring about a great disaster.

On February 1st, when Xu Jin entered the limit-breaking secret realm for the eighteenth day, Xu Jin returned to the core of the limit-breaking secret realm again and checked carefully; that trace of Divine Dao True Meaning was not even one-tenth of what it was at the beginning.

Xu Jin no longer dared to meditate on it.

This was related to the recent breakthrough of several aliens to the eighth tier.

Of course, even if he meditated, it wouldn't have much significance.

This complete Law Power, under Xu Jin's three consecutive rounds of nibbling, had a remaining amount of less than 10%.

Triggering it to meditate on Xu Jin's ninth-tier star pattern had become very inefficient.

Compared to the effect of Xu Jin's Arena Lamp Domain, it was much worse.

By comparison, because he had obtained nearly 90% of a complete Middle World Law Power, Xu Jin's Law Stars had all surged.

If he triggered the Divine Dao True Meaning to meditate on the ninth-tier star pattern, the effect was already stronger than the meditation effect at the very core of this limit-breaking secret realm at the beginning.

It was just that Xu Jin did not dare to touch this last bit of skin.

He had already eaten the big meat; there was no need to put himself in danger for the last bit of oil.

Therefore, Xu Jin did not intend to collect the remaining less than 10% of Law Power.

The next instant, Xu Jin's mind stirred, and he introspected into the Arena Platform.

Above the Arena Platform, the starlight shining from the seven Law Stars had become as large as a peck, brilliant as stars.

As he thought, relevant information surfaced on the jade tablet.

【Fire Law: Ninth Tier (92)】 【Earth Law: Ninth Tier (99)】

【Water Law: Eighth Tier (74)】 【Thunder Law: Seventh Tier (69)】

【Wind Law: Eighth Tier (73)】 【Wood Law: Seventh Tier (63)】

【Gold Law: Sixth Tier (59)】

The ranks of all Law Stars had surged.

The least had obtained a supplement of twenty-five Heaven and Earth Star Wills, and the most had obtained more than thirty.

The increased Heaven and Earth Star Wills reached more than two hundred.

And the number of Heaven and Earth Star Wills Xu Jin obtained was even more, mainly because a portion of the Heaven and Earth Star Wills were duplicates.

They were fused, but did not increase the power of the Law Stars.

The only thing that puzzled Xu Jin was the Earth Law Star; several days ago, it had already reached the limit of the ninth tier.

After reaching the limit of the ninth tier, Xu Jin had already thrown in several Earth Heaven and Earth Star Wills.

But it just didn't have any changes.

This made Xu Jin puzzled, but also somewhat expectant.

If this Earth Law Star reached its limit, would it break through and become a higher-level World Will?

If this Earth Law Star broke through and became a World Will, what changes would it have compared to other Law Stars?

Would it have more magical effects when assisting Xu Jin in deducing the ninth-tier star pattern?

Filled with expectation, Xu Jin, who couldn't hold back, once again took the surrendered aliens and began to wander in the chaotic mist regions of various colors.

This time, after Xu Jin discovered Heaven and Earth Star Wills, he didn't collect any of the other systems, only the Earth ones.

Collecting them was extremely difficult.

Two days later, on the day before the limit-breaking secret realm ended, Xu Jin had collected five more Earth Heaven and Earth Star Wills in his hands.

Subsequently, Xu Jin returned to the core region, his mind stirred, and he directly threw the five collected Earth Heaven and Earth Star Wills into the Arena Platform, letting the Earth Law on the Arena Platform fuse and absorb them.

At the same time, he directly watched the Earth Law Star that had reached its limit with introspection, and a strand of divine sense fell directly onto the Earth Law Star, carefully sensing its changes.

The next instant, as Xu Jin held his breath, this Earth Law Star that had reached its limit began to fuse and absorb these five Earth Heaven and Earth Star Wills.
