Chapter 569: The Proposal of Tianyang Xingjun Cangming

How did the wave-like cheers come to a stop?

It was the gloomy and oppressive gaze of Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, which first fixed on Lu Xiang, then on Ba Tongjian, and then slowly swept across the other generals; only then did these Great Chu generals realize what was happening and close their mouths.

Slowly, the tide of cheers weakened.

However, this scene today was destined to be recorded in history.

Xu Jin's "Golden Body of Heroism," or rather, his "Golden Body of Righteousness," had already been forged.

One must know that this was the Eight Desolations frontline covered by the Star-Plucking Tower. Those who could come here to serve had a cultivation base of at least the Fourth Tier, and the Star-Plucking Token was standard issue.

Coincidentally, it was currently only a state of combat readiness, and strict battlefield regulations, such as the control of starlight transmissions, had not yet been implemented.

Because of this, the miraculous scene that occurred here had already spread through the Star-Plucking Tokens!

【Brother, a terrifying monster has come to our pass. He brought nearly seventeen Eighth-Tier corpses from the Eight Desolations Continent all by himself.】

【Seventh Brother, a big shot has arrived at Channel 17 on the frontline. He slaughtered dozens of Eighth-Tier aliens.】

【Dad, don't worry. A hero has come to the frontline. He killed dozens of Eighth-Tier aliens single-handedly and heavily damaged the Eight Desolations aliens. Our danger has greatly decreased.】

【Wife, good news! A great hero named Xu Jin took out twenty or thirty Eighth-Tier aliens and over a hundred Seventh-Tier aliens. I will definitely be able to come home safely. Take good care of the kids.】

Amidst the countless crisscrossing starlight transmissions, the name of the hero Xu Jin spread like it had grown wings, covering the entire Eight Desolations frontline in a very short time, beginning to spread throughout the entire Star River Battlefield, and even starting to reach the mortal world.

Of course, the assistance from the Great Chen side was enormous.

Great Chen Commander Mao Yue issued an order to all armies at the first opportunity: every army and guard must spread the battle achievements of Vice Academician Xu Jin immediately. Units that performed exceptionally would be rewarded with an extra thousand jars of fine wine.

Subsequently, the soldiers of Great Chen sent out starlight transmissions one by one as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

They especially loved sending them to their comrades and friends in other empires.

It was already a matter of shared honor, and with Commander Mao's military order and the rewards, each of them couldn't wait to notify all their friends.

Many Great Chen elites even notified friends they had only sparred with in the Practice Arena Secret Realm within the Star-Plucking Tower.

【An unprecedented battle achievement, a feat not even Ninth-Tier Star Lords have achieved, has been created by our Great Chen's Vice Academician Xu Jin!】

【Our Great Chen's Academician!】

In a short time, the name Vice Academician Xu Jin became a legend on the Star River Battlefield.

"Vice Academician Xu establishing such a meritorious service is the honor of our entire human race in the mortal world. Vice Academician Xu, our Star River Battlefield Marshal's Mansion will tally and record Vice Academician Xu's merits to provide rewards." The Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu, who had just arrived, spoke with a smile.

"Many thanks!"

With so many people watching, Xu Jin had sensed the auras of several Ninth-Tier experts, though they hadn't come out to show themselves. As Xu Jin cupped his hands, starlight flashed, and he retracted the dozens of alien corpses back into his Sumeru space.

Many of the corpses hadn't even been stripped of their materials and star cores yet; these were treasures.

"Vice Academician Xu, for the sake of recording merits, please arrange a time to come to our Star River Battlefield Marshal's Mansion to record the specific time, location, and other details of these battle merits."

"I need to report the battle report to the Star River Marshal's Mansion meeting as soon as possible, so they can review and reward you, and then announce it to the world to boost military morale!" Wei Xu said again.

Wei Xu's reason could be called reasonable and fair.

But Xu Jin stared at Wei Xu and said, "Sorry, no time."

Wei Xu was stunned. "Vice Academician Xu, if you don't cooperate, we cannot reward you in time."

"If there's no reward, then so be it! I killed the Eighth-Tier aliens, not for your rewards!" Xu Jin glanced at Wei Xu and said indifferently.

This was the truth.

When Xu Jin killed these Eighth-Tier aliens, he hadn't considered any battle merits or rewards at all.

At that time, he had only considered two points: weakening the enemy and obtaining cultivation resources, as well as the Eighth-Tier star cores.

Besides, he wasn't stupid enough to run to the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Mansion for registration.

Previously, when trading for that strand of Thunder-type Heaven and Earth Star Will on the Star River Battlefield, all the suspicious points eventually pointed to the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Mansion; there was just no evidence.

If he ran over there now, although the other party wouldn't dare to defy the world, what if they did?

Besides, why couldn't they provide door-to-door service?

What Wei Xu said was essentially still looking down on Xu Jin from the posture of a superior.

The current Xu Jin was no longer someone he could look down upon.

And Xu Jin's high-profile return was not for him to be looked down upon.

The complexion of Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu instantly became uncomfortable.

This Xu Jin was too arrogant and gave him absolutely no face!

But at this moment, he couldn't flare up, yet he still had to find a way to carry out Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang's instructions.

Having Xu Jin go to the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Mansion to report merits was something Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang had just transmitted to him.

Just at this moment, Tianyang Xingjun Cangming suddenly saw another Eighth-Tier early-stage alien with purple wings appear on the opposite side of the channel.

Another scout.

According to the customs of the Eight Desolations aliens, winged aliens with fast speeds were all wartime scouts.

Xu Jin also saw this purple-winged alien. His heart stirred slightly, and he instantly turned around, his gaze looking straight into the distance.

It wasn't just Xu Jin; many Eighth-Tier experts near the channel fortress saw it, and the Great Chu soldiers guarding the front of the channel saw it too.

The moment they saw it, they all looked at Xu Jin with excited and expectant gazes.

The meaning was self-evident.

Another Eighth-Tier alien had come!

They hoped that Xu Jin, this human hero, could do it again!

The subtle feeling brought by this collective gaze could only be keenly sensed by the Eighth-Tier powerhouses with powerful spirits present.

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming naturally sensed it too.

Suddenly, Tianyang Xingjun Cangming moved, saying at the same time, "Commander Lu, come with me for a trip. Kong Shuo, come with me."

The next instant, the moment Tianyang Xingjun Cangming stepped into Channel 17 and stepped toward the Eight Desolations Continent, Lu Xiang, at the Eighth-Tier peak, and Kong Shuo, at the Eighth-Tier late-stage, followed closely behind.

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming had been stimulated a bit today and wanted to kill a few Eighth-Tier experts, but he wasn't acting on a hot-headed impulse.

Xu Jin had just gone over and killed one Eighth-Tier and five Seventh-Tier experts, fully explaining that the alien main force hadn't arrived yet; what came were only scattered scouts.

Xu Jin could do it, and he, a Ninth-Tier powerhouse, could do it too.

Of course, he wasn't doing it purely for battle merits.

Battle merits were of little use to him.

However, today, the elites of his Great Chu had cheered until they were hoarse for a Great Chen human right in front of him, giving him a sense of prestige crisis.

Besides that, there was another extremely important reason for his choice to attack at this time.

The dominance in the Star River Battlefield meeting.

Currently, the dominance in the Star River Battlefield meeting was in the hands of Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang, the reason being that Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang was the first to break through to the Ninth Tier.

But Tianyang Xingjun Cangming wanted to take it back.

With so many people watching, beheading an Eighth Tier expert in the arena is enough to let him take it back.

Of course, Xu Jin couldn't do it, because Xu Jin hadn't reached his position yet.

But he could.

When the time came, if Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang dared to say half a word against his dominance, as long as he brought up today's battle merits, he could spray Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang until he had nothing to say.

And this would be in front of the high-ranking officials of the Star River Battlefield.

This courage.

The number one Ninth-Tier in the world!

Moreover, he wasn't reckless.

He had considered various consequences, so he brought Lu Xiang at the Eighth-Tier peak and Kong Shuo at the Eighth-Tier late-stage.

With such a lineup, even if he encountered multiple Eighth-Tier experts, he could still achieve results.

In the worst-case scenario, even if the Ninth-Tier King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, from the opposite side came, he could still retreat unscathed.

Therefore, in a flash of lightning, Tianyang Xingjun Cangming took people and rushed toward the Eight Desolations Continent; he also wanted to have a lightning war. It wasn't to imitate Xu Jin, but for his own strategic purpose.

Xu Jin, however, felt a bit surprised.

The Eight Desolations aliens had already lost Eighth-Tier scouts before, and now they sent another scout over.

Why did it feel so heavily like "bait"?

Xu Jin felt like Envoy Ju Zhang was using this Eighth-Tier scout to bait him.

So Xu Jin didn't move.

As for Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, Xu Jin was already too late to persuade him, and secondly, he couldn't be persuaded anyway.

For an existence like Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, once he had made up his mind, how could he retreat because of his small guess?

However, with Tianyang Xingjun Cangming's strength, if he really were to be baited out, retreating unscathed should be no problem.

The next instant, everyone vaguely sensed incomparably majestic star power fluctuations from the other side of the channel.

Where the two sides of the channel didn't border, star domain force fields and starlight permeated like mist, and neither sight nor divine sense could penetrate through at all.

Even at the channel itself, it couldn't be seen clearly from afar, and divine sense couldn't break through either.

So everyone could only vaguely sense that a great battle was happening on the opposite side.

During this process, Xu Jin sensed that Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang and Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e, who were hidden in the void, also began to approach the channel entrance, likely wanting to see clearly.

The violent fluctuations on the opposite side lasted for about ten breaths, and suddenly, majestic starlight instantly permeated to the channel entrance, and roars also came.

"Lord, retreat quickly!"

"You retreat first!"

Amidst the roars, the Great Elder of the Cangming Star Palace, Kong Shuo, was the first to retreat, his chest collapsed, blood at the corners of his mouth, his face deathly pale; he had already been injured.

Subsequently, they saw Tianyang Xingjun Cangming fly violently into the channel, while Great Chu Commander Lu Xiang blocked the channel entrance directly.

The terrifying golden light blasted out by the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, whom Xu Jin was familiar with, blasted toward Lu Xiang like meteors, one after another.

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, who had just rushed back, turned around again, his fists like mountains.

Every punch could shatter a golden light, but every punch thrown required him to be blasted back by more than a meter.

After three punches, Tianyang Xingjun Cangming took Envoy Ju Zhang's bombardment, and amidst a muffled groan, pulled Lu Xiang back.

The Seven-Star supreme-grade giant shield that Lu Xiang held in his hand was now only a handle left, and he himself had blood at the corners of his mouth, with a large hole blasted into his shoulder by the golden light.

He had already been heavily injured.

The attack of the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, however, did not stop.

The golden light continued to blast over wildly, but the moment it pierced into the channel and passed through the invisible barrier between the two worlds, it was greatly weakened and lost its threat, only then did it stop.

"Lord, are you alright!" The Law Enforcement Elder Sun Ling stepped forward to show concern at the first opportunity, but was flicked away by Tianyang Xingjun Cangming with a sleeve.

The next instant, the ugly-faced Tianyang Xingjun Cangming shouted toward the void, "You few, how much longer are you going to watch the show?"

Amidst the shout, Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang and Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e appeared from the void, and National Teacher Cheng Yuexiao also emerged from the other side.

The moment they appeared, Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang asked with concern, "Cangming, are you alright?

Is the other side that fierce?"

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked back, and said, "There aren't many people on the other side, but the Ninth-Tier Envoy Ju Zhang has rushed over, along with two Eighth-Tier peaks and four Eighth-Tier late-stages.

Today's opportunity is rare; since we are all here, three Ninth-Tier experts, plus the Eighth-Tier experts present, rushing over, perhaps we could take out this Envoy Ju Zhang in one wave.

Then the difficulty of this war would decrease exponentially!" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming proposed.

This proposal made Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang, Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e, and even National Teacher Cheng Yuexiao very tempted.

Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang even continued to ask, "Are you sure you saw clearly? Their subsequent reinforcements shouldn't be far, right?"

"I just took a distant look from high altitude during the battle for a moment. There are indeed reinforcements, but looking at the escape speed of that starlight, they should still be one or two thousand miles away.

If we make a decision immediately, within sixty breaths, it should be safe.

Within sixty breaths, if we join forces, taking out Envoy Ju Zhang, a Ninth-Tier expert, is no problem!"

"If we are to make a decision, we must be fast!" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming urged.

Hearing this, Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang was even more tempted, but he turned his gaze to Lu Xiang, with a questioning intent.

"Lord, there are indeed no extra Eighth-Tier experts on the other side. When I soared into the air just now, my vision limit was about five or six hundred miles away, and I didn't discover any shadows of reinforcements either." Lu Xiang said.

Once these words were spoken, Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang and Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e were even more tempted.

"If so, then let's fight! Even if their other Ninth-Tier expert is also there, it's no problem!

The three of us joining forces should be able to surround and kill Envoy Ju Zhang within five breaths. National Teacher Cheng only needs to take the Eighth-Tier experts to deal with others and the Ninth-Tier expert who might appear, holding them off for a few breaths.

National Teacher Cheng, no problem, right?" Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang had already entered his role and began arranging the strategy!

Great Chen National Teacher Cheng Yuexiao nodded.

Holding them off for five breaths was something he could do.

"Alright, pick people immediately. All Eighth-Tier late-stage and Eighth-Tier peak experts will participate in the battle to prevent the appearance of the second Ninth-Tier expert from the Eight Desolations Continent."

Just as Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang's command landed, Xu Jin's voice suddenly sounded, "Lord, as far as I know, there are currently a total of three Ninth-Tier experts on the Eight Desolations Continent.

And the combat power of the third Ninth-Tier expert might be about the same as the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang."

"What?" Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang was stunned.

"When I attacked just now, why didn't you say so earlier?" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming questioned sternly.

Hearing this now, he broke out in a cold sweat.

They could wipe out one Ninth-Tier expert by three-on-one.

By the same logic, the other side could also wipe out him, this Ninth-Tier expert, by three-on-one.

Xu Jin looked at Tianyang Xingjun Cangming with annoyance and said, "You didn't give me a chance to persuade you either."

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming's gaze toward Xu Jin suddenly became cold.

Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang spoke again, asking a series of questions, "Third Ninth-Tier expert? Who is it? Have you seen them? Why do you say the combat power is stronger than Envoy Ju Zhang? How did you judge it? Is there evidence?"

"None. Why don't you go and charge for a while? After fighting in person, you'll have evidence!" Xu Jin said with dissatisfaction; he himself had emotions toward this Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang.

Asking him for evidence about the strength and existence of Ninth-Tier experts.

How much of a death wish would he need to have to go look for evidence of Ninth-Tier strength?

He couldn't just tell them his secrets on the Eight Desolations Continent, could he?

Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang's gaze froze, his aura covering Xu Jin, his brows slightly furrowed.

This young man seemed a bit arrogant.

At the same time, Great Chen National Teacher Cheng Yuexiao spoke up, "This matter is of great importance. Tell everyone what the specific situation is."

It counted as smoothing things over.

"I controlled a few captives on the Eight Desolations Continent and learned it from their mouths. Moreover, this third Ninth-Tier expert hasn't descended for long; it should have been yesterday.

It also has a relationship with yesterday's heaven and earth anomaly on the Eight Desolations Continent.

It is said that it seems another Eighth-Tier star domain has merged into the Eight Desolations Continent." Xu Jin said.

"An Eighth-Tier star domain has actually merged into the Eight Desolations Continent. Such important intelligence..."

Wei Xu was just about to step on Xu Jin as usual, but was countered by a cold look from Xu Jin, and the other party wisely closed his mouth.

Xu Jin had already sensed clear, targeted malice from this Wei Xu.

The military intelligence Xu Jin brought was explosive.

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming's proposal ended without success.

The giants of all sides held a meeting on the spot.
