Chapter 637: Suppressing and Killing the Emperor
July 7th, Great Desolation Domain.
Xu Jin, who had been sitting cross-legged at the peak of the mountain cultivating for nine days, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a movement of his mind, a point of starlight flew out from his body, instantly appearing in front of Xu Jin, and slowly landed on Xu Jin's palm.
It was a small tower with hazy starlight, but the flowing starlight made its surface incomparably hazy, making it impossible to see clearly.
With another movement of his mind, the effects of the "Hidden Storage" and "Concealment Star Patterns" bolstered on the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower were withdrawn simultaneously, and a star-light small tower 108 layers high appeared in front of Xu Jin.
Nine-cornered flying eaves of different colors spiraled upward, and various kinds of starlight flowed like ripples, beautiful to the extreme.
Small and exquisite, towering and majestic, atmospheric and delicate.
If someone stared intently, they would produce a feeling that their divine soul would sink into it, and they wouldn't dare to look directly for a long time.
It could be called a creation of heaven and earth, and it was no longer something that could be described as an artwork.
In his palm, the 108-layer Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower rotated slowly, and Xu Jin's eyes were full of joy.
Persisting for so long, from stumbling and groping out the "Ground Connection and Sky Connection" to the current 108-layer limit, the huge consumption in between was something only Xu Jin knew.
It was probably enough to pile up several ninth-tier experts.
But now, it was just the limit of Xu Jin's sixth-tier ninth-layer peak.
From this moment on, Xu Jin could be considered a true sixth-tier ninth-layer peak.
With a movement of his mind, Xu Jin could sense the terrifying, explosive power contained within it.
In a one-on-one situation, any ninth-tier early-stage expert would likely be unable to resist Xu Jin's Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
The result of a hard confrontation would only be one: being suppressed and exploded!
Because he had forged quite a few cloud towers with the ninth-tier "Earth Source Star Pattern" during the casting process, its weight was as he wished, and after absorbing the chaos origin of the Star River lonely island earlier, it was even firmer and had even better defense.
After carefully admiring his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower for more than ten breaths, Xu Jin stood up, his eyes full of spirit.
Now everything was ready.
It was time to break through to the seventh tier!
However, Xu Jin's breakthrough to the seventh tier was different.
For others to break through to the seventh tier, half a day was enough.
Xu Jin might need several days or even more than ten days.
So he needed to find a safe place, not to mention that because he needed to perform the Killing Star Technique, it was the kind performed from a distance.
According to the Seven Kills True Person's inheritance, the rank of the natal star chosen when breaking through to the seventh tier was also related to the growth limit of future strength.
Most people chose small world stars, a few had the opportunity to establish contact with middle world stars, and only extremely rare existences could establish contact with large world stars.
If one only wanted to establish contact with a small world or middle world star, where one broke through had no influence, but if one wanted to establish contact with a large world star, then it was best to break through within a middle world or large world.
That way, the probability would be slightly higher.
However, for things like breaking through, Xu Jin wouldn't close his doors to build a car.
In this regard, within the current world, whether it was the Grand Master or others, they couldn't give Xu Jin any guidance.
Most of them had chosen a certain small world star as their natal star to break through.
In this regard, the only ones who could give Xu Jin guidance and point him in the right direction were the Fenghua Emperor or True Person Youyu.
Xu Jin contacted the Fenghua Emperor through the Thousand Star Token at the first opportunity to ask for advice.
At such a critical moment, it was better to be humble.
The level of cognition of the Fenghua Emperor was completely different.
Not long after, the Fenghua Emperor sent a starlight message to Xu Jin.
【Jin'er, if you use a small world star as your natal star, then your many accumulations before, this incomparably rare 108-layer cloud tower of yours, would be equivalent to being half-wasted. It can be called starting high and ending low. To break through to the seventh tier, you need at least a middle world star as your natal star. If possible, it is best to use a large world star as your natal star. However, whether a large world star can be forged into a natal star also depends on opportunity. If you can succeed, your future combat power will be limitless. However, after forging a large world star into a natal star, in the future, when you become a True Person, if you want to go further, you will face a killing tribulation. Wanting to survive the killing tribulation is also extremely difficult.】
【May I ask what rank of star the Master used as his natal star?】 Xu Jin asked.
【This was originally a secret, but since we are master and disciple, it doesn't matter. When I broke through, I used a middle world star as my natal star, but later there were some changes. If you break through, a middle world star is the most stable, but a large world star is not necessarily successful; there is a possibility of failure. However, your Dao Embryo has been formed; if the breakthrough fails, the damage to your divine soul will be within an acceptable range, and you can look for a middle world star to break through again.】 The Fenghua Emperor replied.
【Master, if I want to try to break through with a large world star as my target, is there anything I need to pay attention to?】
【Normally, you need to break through in a middle world to have the possibility of sensing and contacting a large world star, but wanting to establish contact is still extremely slim. Theoretically, if you try to break through on the Star River lonely island, that is the best place to break through. However, when you release your divine sense on the Star River lonely island, it is like a bright lamp in the dark night, which will attract all kinds of peeping and trouble. Even ordinary peepers are not something you can deal with. You need someone to protect you; in that star river, your grand-uncle True Person Youyu is the best candidate for protection. However, this matter must be discussed by yourself. The merit of protecting the Dao is also karma in the future.】 The Fenghua Emperor said.
After the Fenghua Emperor said this, Xu Jin understood completely.
Breaking through on the Star River lonely island was the most suitable, but it was also very dangerous and required asking someone for help.
But this person had to be asked by Xu Jin himself, and he would have to repay the favor later.
This was the right principle.
How could one ask someone to help for nothing?
Xu Jin contacted True Person Youyu at the first opportunity and explained his intention.
【No problem, as long as you miss those three days at the beginning of the month, contact me after you reach your Star River lonely island, and I will be able to arrive afterward.】
True Person Youyu agreed very readily, without mentioning any conditions.
But just as the Fenghua Emperor said, this merit of protecting the Dao was already karma.
The time was also just right, early July.
Xu Jin prepared to give instructions to the Great Chen elites who were coming to take over the Great Desolation Domain, tell the Grand Master in the Star River battlefield, and then go break through!
Xu Jin couldn't wait.
After breaking through, it would be the time for him to sweep across the Eight Desolations Continent, or even settle accounts with the Heavenly Yang Star Lord.
Half an hour later, just as Xu Jin was giving instructions to a group of Great Chen elites, a Mandarin Duck Seal in his Sumeru Space suddenly flashed with starlight, and a message came through.
It was a starlight message from his teacher Seeing Qi Shanye.
After reading it, Xu Jin frowned.
After the Blood God Sect Master was killed and then controlled by him, and didn't show his face for several days, all sorts of monsters and demons really jumped out.
【Teacher, wait a moment, I will go deal with it.】
Because they received Xu Jin's notification and confirmed that the Blood God Sect Master's nascent spirit had been captured alive by Xu Jin and didn't even have a chance to revive through a drop of blood, Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji joined forces to start integrating and controlling the Blood God Sect.
First, they controlled the two major cities of Blood Moon City and Blood Cloud City, as well as the elites of the Blood God Sect's various armies. Although Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji's cultivation were only at the seventh-tier ninth-layer peak, they both had the combat power of the eighth-tier peak; within the Blood God Sect, no one could stop them.
In just a few days, after killing several stubborn military masters, the remaining high-ranking Household Hall Elder Yue Qing compromised.
He promoted Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji directly to the new positions of Military Hall and Punishment Hall Elders, starting to hold the great power of the Blood God Sect.
Seeing Qi Shanye also began to dig deep into the relevant organizations and information of the Blood God Sect according to his own plan as an elder.
The goal was only one: to destroy the Blood God Sect from the root.
Unexpectedly, just as things started, an uninvited guest arrived.
And it was a ninth-tier one!
Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji, two seventh-tier ninth-layer peak experts joining forces, could easily suppress the eighth-tier peak Household Hall Elder Yue Qing, but they absolutely couldn't suppress a ninth-tier powerhouse.
After appearing for only an hour, this ninth-tier early-stage powerhouse forcefully took over the Blood God Sect. At the same time, among the three eighth-tier powerhouses he brought, two were eighth-tier peaks.
They directly snatched away the power that Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji had just controlled.
If it weren't for the fact that the two were still very valuable and it was a time when the Blood God Sect was in turmoil, Seeing Qi Shanye and Mo Ji might have been liquidated.
And as for the identity of the person who came, Seeing Qi Shanye also understood a rough idea during the takeover process.
Many old people in the Blood God Sect, including Household Hall Master Yue Qing, called him the Vice Sect Master.
Besides that, among the three eighth-tier powerhouses following this Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master, two were eunuchs.
Seeing Qi Shanye might not know much about this discovery.
But the moment Xu Jin saw this, he understood who it was.
The Great Hong Emperor!
The former Great Hong Emperor Yang Yun who had "died heroically."
Xu Jin had previously asked the left and right protectors of the Blood God Sect about this person's whereabouts.
But both said they didn't know, saying that this person was very likely to have gone into seclusion to break through to the ninth tier.
Unexpectedly, he really broke through.
And he came back!
"I don't know if this Majesty is unlucky, or just has bad luck..."
While muttering, Xu Jin took a step, instantly disappeared from where he was, and when his figure appeared, he had already appeared in the remaining Blood Spirit Holy Temple within the Great Desolation Royal City.
Although the Blood Spirit Holy Temple was broken, the star gate established here by the Blood God Sect Master Yu Shen still existed.
This star gate was a fixed star gate that the Blood God Sect Master had spent a great price to establish.
Now, it was convenient for Xu Jin.
The next instant, Xu Jin took a step, light and shadow flickered in front of him, and the moment his feet touched the ground, Xu Jin appeared in the Blood Spirit Holy Temple of Blood Moon City.
In the Blood Spirit Holy Temple of Blood Moon City, the Vice Sect Master Yang Yun, who had just taken over the Blood God Sect, was gathering the high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect in the Blood Spirit Holy Temple to give instructions.
"The Sect Master needs time to recover his cultivation, so he ordered me to temporarily take charge of the sect's affairs until the Sect Master recovers his cultivation and returns."
Although the Great Hong Emperor Yang Yun was certain that something had happened to the Blood God Sect Master, because of the "Drop of Blood Divine Pattern," he didn't dare to make things too certain, so he used this excuse.
Even if the Blood God Sect Master really returned in the future, there would still be room for maneuver.
However, he also had his own wishful thinking.
He wanted to take this opportunity to control more high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect, so that even if the Blood God Sect Master returned in the future, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"However, the Sect Master said that there is a traitor in our Divine Sect, so all high-ranking officials must be inspected..."
Just as he was speaking, the Great Hong Emperor and the hundred or so Blood God Sect high-ranking officials in the Blood Spirit Holy Temple suddenly moved their gazes, and their gazes looked in unison at Xu Jin, who had just stepped out from the star gate on one side of the Blood Spirit Holy Temple.
They knew about this star gate.
But suddenly a stranger came out; what was the situation?
The high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect couldn't figure out what the situation was at all; according to what the Sect Master said, anyone who could come out of this star gate should be a brother in the sect, or a high-ranking official.
But a look of astonishment suddenly appeared in the eyes of the former Great Hong Emperor.
"Who are you?" The Household Hall Elder Yue Qing, who had been promoted to Left Protector, looked at Xu Jin, who was at the sixth-tier ninth-layer peak, and asked suddenly, "Is there an order from the Great Desolation Domain, or?"
Xu Jin, who stepped out from the star gate, ignored Yue Qing and looked at the Great Hong Emperor, bowing slightly, "Emperor, long time no see!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect were horrified, and the Great Hong Emperor was even more astonished.
"Xu Jin, it really is you?"
The Great Hong Emperor Yang Yun frowned and asked suspiciously, "How did you come out from here? When did you join the Blood God Sect? Why don't I know?"
"Join the Blood God Sect?"
Xu Jin sneered, "Emperor, are you confused, thinking everyone is like you!"
"Then you?"
The Great Hong Emperor Yang Yun still hadn't figured it out; it was mainly because he was wary of the Blood God Sect Master. Theoretically, anyone who came out of this star gate was a confidant of the Blood God Sect Master.
But he was already on guard.
"Me? I just conquered and pacified the Great Desolation Domain, so naturally, I came out from this star gate!" Xu Jin laughed!
"What!"
"Impossible!"
"You are bragging!"
"Where is the Sect Master? How is this possible?"
Angry shouts rang out one after another, and along with them, heavy star power rose.
While astonished, the hundred or so high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect had already moved at the same time.
A point of starlight flew out from behind Xu Jin, instantly turning into light and shadow that covered the sky and earth, fiercely covering down!
Boom!
The Blood Spirit Holy Temple in space was instantly filled by Xu Jin's Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
With just a lightning-fast fall, the starlight unleashed by the high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect instantly shattered.
The ninth-tier early-stage Great Hong Emperor, along with the three eighth-tier powerhouses he brought, as well as the eighth-tier peak Household Hall Elder Yue Qing and two other eighth-tier experts, all erupted with starlight at the same time, and vast star power rose, turning into various star techniques and blasting toward Xu Jin.
In an instant, the Great Hong Emperor had channeled the two eighth-tier inheritance treasures of the Great Hong Empire that he had brought with him to the limit, blasting toward Xu Jin!
"Is it useful?"
Xu Jin sneered, and the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower suppressed downward fiercely.
All the star techniques instantly dissipated, and the six eighth-tier experts all spat out blood wildly.
One of the Great Hong Emperor's inheritance treasures was directly suppressed and shattered on the spot, while the other was shaken with countless cracks and instantly returned to the Great Hong Emperor's body.
The ninth-tier early-stage Great Hong Emperor himself spat out blood on the spot instantly.
The moment a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower suppressed downward again.
In an instant, the group of seventh-tier and eighth-tier experts all had their bones broken and tendons snapped, their flesh and blood turning into mud.
The Great Hong Emperor fought back fiercely, his whole body's starlight erupting with full force, dazzling and scorching.
But it was only a dazzling moment, like a flash in the pan.
As the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower sank.
The Great Hong Emperor's whole body's starlight shattered, and his physical body was like a watermelon, directly suppressed and exploded.
The nascent spirit that had just escaped was directly suppressed at the bottom of the tower, unable to move!
The nascent spirit's eyes were filled with shock and fear!
Ninth tier!
He was a ninth-tier expert!
Even if he had just broken through, he was a genuine ninth-tier expert!
(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 638 =====
The Ninth Tier early-stage Great Hong Emperor himself vomited blood on the spot in an instant.
The moment an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes, the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower descended again.
In an instant, the group of Seventh and Eighth Tier experts had their bones broken and tendons snapped, their flesh and blood turning into mud.
The Great Hong Emperor struggled to resist, his body's starlight erupting with full force, as brilliant as a scorching flame.
But it was only a fleeting brilliance.
As the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower sank lower.
The starlight around the Great Hong Emperor shattered, and his physical body was crushed directly, as if it were a watermelon.
The primordial spirit that had just escaped was suppressed at the base of the tower, unable to move!
The primordial spirit's eyes were filled with shock and fear!
Ninth Tier!
He was a Ninth Tier expert!
Even if he had only just broken through, he was still a genuine Ninth Tier expert!
