Chapter 550

The Ninth-Tier Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern rotated slowly in Xu Jin's Cloud Tower Star Core, condensing strands of thunder light. Finally, these countless strands of thunder light condensed into a curved thunder beam jumping with purple-black thunder light.

Xu Jin's heart also had an epiphany at this very moment.

Thunder-Galloping Slash.

Thunder light like a blade, swift and incomparable.

The next instant, Xu Jin disappeared from where he was, and in another flash, he appeared in the clouds of a barren mountain seven hundred miles away.

Boom!

Boom!

One after another, thunder lights were blasted out, and Xu Jin triggered the Ming Ji Star Pattern to sense the changes in his Thunder-type star arts.

He was constantly familiarizing himself with the newly realized star art.

The speed of the Thunder-Galloping Slash was a bit faster than the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

The key was that the Five Elements Divine Thunder actually had a trajectory.

As long as it was blasted down, a thunder light would blast down in the void, which could still be judged.

But the moment the Thunder-Galloping Slash was released, only Xu Jin knew where it would slash in the next instant; this was just the first advantage.

The second advantage of the Thunder-Galloping Slash was that the attack range was much farther than the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

The attack range of the Five Elements Divine Thunder was only about five hundred meters around Xu Jin.

However, the attack range of the Thunder-Galloping Slash could reach Xu Jin's sensing limit at its farthest.

Now, it cooperated with the power of the Ming Ji Star Pattern.

The sensing radius of the Ming Ji Star Pattern was now five thousand meters, so the maximum attack range of the Thunder-Galloping Slash was ten miles.

However, there was also a disadvantage: as the distance increased, the power would constantly weaken.

Within a range of one thousand meters, the power was greatest.

Beyond one thousand meters, the farther it went, the weaker the power.

The third advantage of the Thunder-Galloping Slash was that it could be used for close combat.

It could be used directly as a defensive means; when necessary, just wave your hand and blast it out.

Moreover, the power could be superimposed with the previous Five Elements Divine Thunder.

As long as you condensed the Thunder-Galloping Slash while triggering the Five Elements Divine Thunder, it became the Five Elements Thunder-Galloping Slash.

Xu Jin tested it roughly in the clouds, and the power of his Five Elements Divine Thunder, after the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern broke through to the Ninth-Tier, sounded terrifying, but the actual power only increased by ten percent.

There was no major change.

Xu Jin also figured out the reason for this.

Other people used Ninth-Tier star patterns to break through to the Ninth-Tier, so their combat power improved quite a bit.

But Xu Jin's cultivation was still at the peak of the Sixth-Tier Ninth Layer, and only his star pattern had been deduced to the Ninth-Tier, so a ten percent increase in power was very normal.

By comparison, the Five Elements Thunder-Galloping Slash had stronger lethality.

Compared to before, the lethality increased by about twenty percent.

Including thunder escape speed and the power of other Thunder-type star arts, all increased by about ten percent.

However, compared to the strength of Xu Jin's enemies, this was still far from enough.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin returned to his hidden location, and after confirming safety in turns with Heaven-Man Sensing and the Eye of Oversight, he continued to cultivate.

This time, Xu Jin triggered the Earth-type Divine Dao True Intent obtained in the Seven Kills Star Domain.

Among the Divine Dao True Intents Xu Jin had obtained so far, there was still an Earth-type one, a Space-type one, and two obtained from the Baidou Divine Sect, which felt like they were non-attribute, but Xu Jin was in no hurry to use them.

Among Xu Jin's Can Dou Lamp Domain's Law Stars, the Earth-type Law Star was the strongest, having reached the limit of limits, and his sensing showed it was only one step away from transformation, missing only one element to transform.

Using Earth-type Divine Dao True Intent to trigger it to contemplate the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern would inevitably be more efficient.

Of course, the key was that Xu Jin wanted to strengthen his defense, and even wanted to see if he could contemplate a powerful defensive star art after deducing the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to Ninth-Tier Low-Grade.

The Fish Curtain Jin Zhong, a star art Xu Jin had researched himself, had been used for a long time, and its defense within the same tier was invincible.

But in front of Xu Jin's current enemies, he always felt it was a bit lacking.

So he wanted to try.

Even if he didn't contemplate a stronger defensive star art, the defense of the Fish Curtain Jin Zhong could still be improved after the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern broke through to the Ninth-Tier Low-Grade.

The next instant, Xu Jin triggered the Can Dou Lamp Domain, and the moment the seven Law Stars enveloped him, the Earth-type Divine Dao True Intent instantly entangled with the Earth-type Law Star, simultaneously triggering the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

In an instant, mysterious changes began to evolve and emerge in Xu Jin's mind, and his Eighth-Tier High-Grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, like a seed sprouting, began to germinate.

This contemplation and deduction lasted for a full sixteen hours.

Nearly a day and a half.

In a day and a half, Xu Jin successfully deduced the Eighth-Tier High-Grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to Ninth-Tier Low-Grade.

However, twenty percent of this Earth-type Divine Dao True Intent remained.

Xu Jin did not use the remaining twenty percent of the Earth-type Divine Dao True Intent to contemplate the Earth Elephant Star Pattern; it wasn't enough anyway, so he kept it first.

It was mainly because during the contemplation process, Xu Jin discovered another thing: using Divine Dao True Intent to trigger Law Stars, this Divine Dao True Intent could not only trigger Earth-type Law Stars but also other Law Stars.

This reminded Xu Jin of the Water-Fire Star Cluster used by the Golden Pillar alien elder Ju Chang to seal the space; that power could even shake space, and it was large-scale and lasted for at least ten breaths.

Very strong.

Could he also deduce composite star arts?

The power of composite star arts would definitely be stronger.

With the power of the Five Elements Thunder-Galloping Slash, if it only increased by ten percent, it was already very large.

It was just that Xu Jin's current accumulation was not enough, so he wanted to accumulate more, at least until he possessed several Ninth-Tier star patterns, before trying to deduce composite star arts with this remaining Divine Dao True Intent.

Of course, Xu Jin's most simple thought was that if he deduced composite star patterns, he would at least need two Ninth-Tier star patterns as a foundation.

Currently, he only had the Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern and the Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

Xu Jin instinctively felt that the combination of Earth-type and Thunder-type powers was unlikely.

Xu Jin was in no hurry to add the Ninth-Tier Low-Grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, but first read several messages from the Mandarin Duck Seal.

His teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye and his junior uncle Mo Ji had sent him messages.

After just one glance, Xu Jin revealed a strange, bitter smile.

He could only say that the two teachers were really playing it well.

But the feelings were also real!

Life-and-death brothers, living and dying together!

At least they had achieved that now.

But having said that, Xu Jin felt that his junior uncle Mo Ji had actually done the right thing.

If junior uncle Mo Ji had sneaked away alone, he would have been safe, but the risk faced by teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye would have increased tenfold, and the pressure would have all fallen on teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye.

If something happened to Qi Seeing Qi Shanye, then Mo Ji's heart knot for this life would never be untied. If junior uncle Mo Ji didn't sneak away, and something went wrong, and his primordial spirit was controlled by the Ninth-Tier Blood God Sect Master, then teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye would likely be depressed for a lifetime again.

Xu Jin really had no confidence in killing the Ninth-Tier Blood God Sect Master.

The experts of the Blood God Sect were too difficult to deal with.

The Blood God Sect Master definitely had the Blood Drop Divine Pattern, the Blood God Sect Master's Thousand Star Token was definitely high-grade, and heaven knew what life-saving treasures he would have.

Now it was fine; this problem was all solved.

Xu Jin's target was still Left Protector Fan Kai alone.

Although the Ninth-Tier Blood God Sect Master had returned, the difficulty of Xu Jin wanting to kill Left Protector Fan Kai had increased.

But he would eventually find a chance.

The Ninth-Tier Blood God Sect Master couldn't guard Fan Kai every moment.

The next instant, after confirming safety, Xu Jin began to add the Ninth-Tier Low-Grade Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

Envoy Ju Zhang finding and surrounding Xu Jin without any warning last time had already brought Xu Jin a heart demon.

This caused Xu Jin to have to confirm his safety status every two or three hours now.

Of course, Xu Jin wouldn't continue like this forever.

He would persist for a few days, slowly lowering the frequency, constantly lowering it.

But Xu Jin had already decided in his heart that as long as he was still in the Eight Desolations Continent for one day, he would trigger the Heaven-Man Sensing star art at least once every day to sense good and bad luck.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin appeared again under the clouds seven hundred miles away.

Starlight flashed, and one after another, falling stars, or rather, star mountains condensed from Earth-type star light, blasted down continuously!

Earth-type star art: Qianshan!

It was considered an enhanced version of Falling Star, and it was quite good for attacking strongholds.

Originally, Xu Jin was a bit disappointed.

This Qianshan star art felt a bit like a chicken rib, but after trying it, Xu Jin discovered its use based on its characteristics.

It could be used for defense!

Especially against the terrifying attacks of strong experts.

The reason was only one: after the Qianshan star art was activated, it was a continuous linear bombardment!

As long as Xu Jin still had star power in his body, and as long as Xu Jin continued to trigger it, this star art would continuously blast out.

This was the Qianshan!

Then, against Envoy Ju Zhang's Jin Jiao Jin Guang that had severely injured Xu Jin with one blow, if this Qianshan was used to block it, Xu Jin's pressure could be greatly reduced.

Theoretically, as long as Xu Jin's star power didn't dry up, he could withstand the decisive blow of Envoy Ju Zhang's Jin Jiao Jin Guang.

Then the explosion point came: the characteristic of Xu Jin's Can Dou Lamp Domain's star light to quickly recover star power could be brought into play.

The practicality of this star art immediately came up.

When attacking strongholds, this characteristic was also extremely useful.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin began to cultivate bitterly again.

But this time, he triggered that extremely rare Space-type Divine Dao True Intent.

Naturally, he used it to contemplate the Space Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern.

The power of Space-type star arts was very powerful, and even more bizarre, and their practicality was stronger.

This contemplation lasted for a day and a half.

When this strand of Space-type Divine Dao True Intent was consumed until only ten percent remained, the Ninth-Tier Low-Grade Space Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern was completely fulfilled.

Just like before, after Xu Jin spent time adding it, he began to study the newly obtained star art.

The newly obtained Space-type star art was a bit bizarre.

When activated, a certain area within the sensing radius of Xu Jin's Ming Ji Star Pattern would directly disappear.

When it disappeared, including the matter within the space, it could also directly disintegrate.

The farther the distance, the weaker the power.

Xu Jin also discovered this point during the process of trying it out.

One thousand meters in front of him, when he activated this Space-Void star art, about three meters of mountain stone directly disappeared.

It really just disappeared out of thin air.

It should have dissipated into a space crack or another space.

Four thousand meters away, it could only make half a meter of space directly turn void, and the consumption of primordial spirit power and star power directly doubled.

After trying it several times, Xu Jin fell in love with this star art.

It could be used for both attack and defense, and it was also extremely bizarre.

It was extremely practical.

Finally, Xu Jin named it Void!

Space-type star art: Void.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin returned to his hidden cultivation spot and took out a Divine Dao True Intent obtained from the Baidou Divine Sect.

But he hadn't thought about which source-type star pattern to contemplate with it.

Although there were still two Divine Dao True Intents, one had to be reserved for the Grand Master's breakthrough.

So Xu Jin could only use one.

When Xu Jin deduced the first Ninth-Tier Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to Ninth-Tier Low-Grade, he thought about passing the Ninth-Tier star pattern to the Grand Master, or recording it through a star jade tablet and handing it to the Grand Master.

But not only could the Mandarin Duck Seal not transmit star patterns, but even a Seventh-Tier star jade tablet could not carry a Ninth-Tier star pattern.

This gave Xu Jin a premonition, so he decided to reserve a Divine Dao True Intent for the Grand Master.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Jin put this Divine Dao True Intent back.

Star pattern rank was only part of strength.

And star power cultivation was also one of the most important strengths of a cultivator.

Previously, he didn't cast a new Cloud Tower in the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm because Xu Jin wanted to cast a Nine-Cornered Cloud Tower.

Now, he could cast a new Nine-Cornered Cloud Tower.

And the Pure Pearls were very sufficient.

Theoretically, every time Xu Jin condensed a new layer of Cloud Tower, his strength could improve by half a percent or even one percent.

And the three new star arts he had learned consumed a lot of star power, especially Qianshan!

The next instant, Xu Jin began to strengthen his star patterns, preparing to condense the first Nine-Cornered Cloud Tower of his life!
