Chapter 653: The Star and Battle Divine Killing Array

The Mingji Star Pattern swept over those dozen or so clusters of authority over the heavens and earth that had appeared. Xu Jin's gaze condensed, and the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower instantly descended, directly covering all those dozen or so clusters of authority and the Star and Battle Divine Seal to prevent any accidents.

The moment the Mingji Star Pattern swept over, Xu Jin actually discovered a somewhat familiar authority over the heavens and earth.

He was exceptionally pleasantly surprised.

One breath later, Xu Jin immediately pulled out the Sumeru space of the Baidou Sect Leader, Sima Qu.

From the time they fought, it could be seen that Sima Qu's family wealth was not very thick; he was still using a Seven-Star high-grade spirit armor.

However, the value of this Sima Qu's Sumeru space could not be compared to those treasures.

Sima Qu possessed both the inheritance of the Lingji Star Palace and the inheritance of the Baidou Sect.

Even if Xu Jin did not cultivate these two inheritances, just studying and referencing them—

That value was also not trivial.

What's more, according to what the National Teacher Cheng Yuexiao said, the original theory of "connecting the earth to the heavens" was a hypothesis proposed by Sima Qu.

The first thing Xu Jin did was to check Sima Qu's Sumeru space.

As for the other followers of the Baidou Sect, with all the high-level members dead and the Sect Leader beheaded, they had long since scattered like birds and beasts.

Sima Qu possessed quite a lot of Star Jade Tablets; those of the Sixth Tier and below were piled up like a small mountain, there were about three thousand Seventh-Tier ones, and there were actually fifty-one Eighth-Tier ones.

This family wealth was worthy of a Sect Leader.

He didn't see a single treasure from the Thousand Star Alliance; it was clear that Sima Qu did not have a Thousand Star Token.

However, Sima Qu possessed over two hundred Eighth-Tier star cores, as well as a portion of Seventh-Tier and Eighth-Tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Besides that, there were a full forty Primordial Spirit Pearls that could rapidly recover primordial spirit cultivation.

This was primordial spirit power collected from within the statue of the True God of Stars and Battles.

Xu Jin tried one; each could recover twenty percent of Xu Jin's primordial spirit cultivation, which was not bad—it counted as a decent harvest.

Very quickly, Xu Jin's gaze condensed.

True God residual bone!

There were five pieces of True God residual bone that could be used to set up a statue in Sima Qu's Sumeru space.

Four pieces were very small, but one was very large, the size of a palm.

This caused a smile to instantly appear in the corner of Xu Jin's eyes.

This harvest was not bad; this one item alone was enough.

Sima Qu's hands still had many Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier spirit medicines; for Xu Jin, they were not worth mentioning, but there was one Seventh-Tier primordial spirit-type spirit medicine and two Seventh-Tier star power-type spirit medicines.

This was not bad.

At the very least, it could allow Xu Jin to refine and ascend the tier of three Eighth-Tier spirit medicines.

Besides that, he found two more low-grade Seven-Star spirit armors, which should be spares; the rest were all kinds of jade tablets.

Most of them were jade tablets engraved with various star pattern inheritances of the Lingji Star Palace.

It should be because they were stored in his own Sumeru space that Sima Qu had not applied any seals.

After Xu Jin's divine sense sank into them one by one and swept over them, he was slightly disappointed.

These inheritance star patterns were of no use to him.

All the star patterns had already been passed to him by Qi Shanye previously, but the star patterns in Sima Qu's possession were quite a bit higher in rank than the highest rank Qi Shanye had mentioned at the time.

Clearly, he had kept several cards up his sleeve.

But compared to the star pattern ranks Xu Jin currently mastered, they were still too far behind.

Most of the star patterns were Eighth-Tier low-grade; Eighth-Tier mid-grade and Eighth-Tier high-grade star patterns could be counted on one's fingers.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin had checked all these jade tablets and sorted out the ones useful to him.

One set of jade tablets was the "Connecting Earth to Heaven" deduction notes, which contained all kinds of conjectures, worth Xu Jin's careful study.

The second set was a secret transmission called the "Star and Battle Divine Killing Array."

After just looking at the introduction, Xu Jin's gaze condensed.

This Star and Battle Divine Killing Array should be the killing move the Baidou Sect Leader used to deal with him.

Roughly speaking, it used the Star and Battle Divine Seal as the core to command the Baidou Sect's Five Directions True Monarchs, Four Phases True Person seals, and Twenty-Eight Mansions Star Official seals to kill and trap enemies; it was ever-changing, its power was extremely strong, and it could channel the star power of the True God of Stars and Battles for bolstering.

Killing enemies across major realms was simply not too easy.

However, this array had three core requirements: first, the Star and Battle True God Seal; second, the True God of Stars and Battles statue; and third, the Five Directions Tianyang Zhenjun seals or Four Phases seals as the foundation. The more seals, and the stronger the cultivation of the holders, the stronger the combat power.

Theoretically, it could increase the combat power of the person hosting the array by more than five times.

This introduction made Xu Jin feel horrified.

If the Baidou Sect Leader's combat power increased by five times, if he had crashed in, he might have been killed in one move.

This was absolutely Sima Qu's ultimate killing move.

If it weren't for the fact that this array had huge drawbacks, Sima Qu would have been directly invincible.

The drawback was that it had to use the True God of Stars and Battles statue as the core.

The Baidou Sect's statue was forty or fifty meters tall; like the one in the White Tiger Star City that Xu Jin destroyed, it was over seventy meters tall. Wanting to put it into a Sumeru space was impossible.

If Sima Qu could create a statue over ten meters tall and then carry this statue in his Sumeru space, that would be fun.

Carrying the statue, he could sweep across the Kunling Domain.

Of course, it certainly wasn't that simple.

A statue wasn't something you could just stuff in your pocket; otherwise, would it still be called a statue?

This array made Xu Jin feel hot and moved.

If this array were successfully set up, it was feared that even a Star Monarch might have the possibility of being beheaded.

But the hardware conditions were extremely difficult.

So many people were hard to find, and there was the statue.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin had already decided: once his teacher, Emperor Fenghua, sent back news regarding the Great Chaos Spirit Body, he would send this over and let his teacher, Emperor Fenghua, help him study it to see if it could be improved.

Mainly because Xu Jin had obtained all those seals; if they all ended up in his hands and were useless, that wouldn't be good.

Thinking of this, Xu Jin suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

It seemed that ever since Emperor Fenghua took him as a disciple, he hadn't had much peace. This matter followed one after another.

The Great Chaos Spirit Body hadn't yielded results yet, and Xu Jin had already arranged things for him.

"Trouble is trouble; the teacher's kindness is deep, I'll just repay it slowly in the future."

There was also a jade tablet that recorded the methods and processes of worshipping the True God of Stars and Battles, obtaining star power bolstering, including building statues and divine descent.

It was very detailed.

This jade tablet was also of great value to Xu Jin.

After reading it just once, Xu Jin discovered that his method of hand-crafting his own statue was still too crude.

According to the Star Refining Great Law recorded in this jade tablet, the statues refined possessed all kinds of divine wonders and functions; for example, the efficiency of collecting the power of faith would be better, it could also allow the so-called divine attendants to mobilize a portion of the statue's power, and at the same time, it could achieve contact with the True God to the greatest extent.

The larger the statue refined according to the Star Refining Great Law, the greater the star god power it could channel.

Seeing this, Xu Jin had a doubt: he refined a statue of himself, and then he channeled the star god's power through the statue—what situation would occur?

This was a question.

Xu Jin felt that when he had a chance in the future, he could try it to see what would happen.

What Xu Jin valued most was the content recorded in these few jade tablets.

Besides that, there were over a dozen jade tablets recording all kinds of secrets, all kinds of lists, etc., which at least were of no great use to Xu Jin for now.

There were also over a dozen star domain waypoints; he didn't know which star domain they led to.

If there was a chance, Xu Jin would like to explore them; he didn't know if it was a star domain unified by the Baidou Sect.

Finally, he finished taking inventory of the Baidou Sect Leader Sima Qu's Sumeru space; it could be called a full harvest.

But this was not the entire harvest.

The next instant, Xu Jin's divine sense surged into the Star and Battle Divine Seal.

This Star and Battle Divine Seal was the key to the Star and Battle Divine Killing Array, and it was also a Nine-Star Spirit Treasure of the primordial spirit type; it was also a major harvest of this trip and had to be refined.

But the moment his divine sense sank in, Xu Jin's Dao Embryo trembled slightly; the divine sense that had just sunk in was actually annihilated!

"Strange, this is already an ownerless object; how could this be?"

The next instant, Xu Jin cautiously channeled the Mingji Star Pattern and brought a wisp of divine sense to probe in.

Just as it probed in, the divine sense was annihilated again.

Xu Jin was furious.

There was still a wisp of divine sense inside, occupying the Star and Battle Divine Seal.

"Could it be the Baidou Sect Leader's residual god?"

With a thought, Xu Jin's palm brushed over the Star and Battle Divine Seal, and thunder light instantly blasted into the interior of the Star and Battle Divine Seal.

One thunder!

Two thunders!

Three thunders!

After three streaks of thunder light in succession, the residual thought inside was still holding on, with no intention of dissipating.

Suddenly, Xu Jin looked up at the sky; in the sky, there was strange starlight changing and flickering.

Xu Jin suddenly understood.

The divine sense inside the Star and Battle Divine Seal was not the Baidou Sect Leader's residual god at all, but the divine sense of the so-called True God of Stars and Battles!

This True God of Stars and Battles was still alive!

Almost at the same time, the Star and Battle Divine Seal in Xu Jin's palm actually struggled and trembled violently. In the sky, starlight was rapidly gathering, faintly echoing with the Star and Battle Divine Seal in Xu Jin's palm, bringing Xu Jin an inexplicable sense of threat.

As if in the distant starry sky, something had locked onto him!

Star power was gathering, and the star power fluctuations were constantly strengthening!

Xu Jin, who possessed the Mingji Star Pattern, had already vaguely sensed the faint malice, or rather, killing intent, from the depths of the firmament!

Suddenly, Xu Jin remembered the words of his Grand-Uncle-Master, True Person Youyu.

The rules of heaven and earth had their own limits.

External forces exceeding the upper limit could not enter.

Then what was he afraid of!

His Dao Embryo's spiritual light flashed, instantly channeling the Thunder Palace on his natal star, Linghuang. Thunder-type origin starlight instantly swayed down, merged into Xu Jin's body, and then directly blasted into the Star and Battle Divine Seal!

Under one thunder, Xu Jin sensed that the divine sense inside the Star and Battle Divine Seal was much weaker, but the gathering of star power in the firmament was accelerating rapidly.

His Dao Embryo urged continuously, and thunder-type origin starlight descended continuously.

Five streaks in succession.

After the bombardment of five streaks of the strongest thunder light, the divine sense inside the Star and Battle Divine Seal vanished into smoke amidst the thunder light.

An inexplicable force completely dissipated inside the Star and Battle Divine Seal. The moment it dissipated, this force swept across Xu Jin's Dao Embryo. The moment a chill swept across Xu Jin's heart, this force disappeared without a trace.

At the same instant, a roar came faintly from the firmament, and then it disappeared without a trace, including the star power that had just gathered, which also disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In the firmament, calm returned in an instant.

"Was I targeted again?"

Xu Jin chuckled; he didn't worry about having too many debts.

The next instant, Xu Jin's divine sense surged into the Star and Battle Divine Seal; in just a quarter of an hour, he had completely refined the Star and Battle Divine Seal.

The moment the Star and Battle Divine Seal was completely refined, all kinds of mysteries floated into Xu Jin's heart, and at the same time, a sense of command faintly arose.

The next instant, Xu Jin vaguely sensed the Five Directions Tianyang Zhenjun seals, the Four Phases True Person seals, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions Star Official seals through the Star and Battle Divine Seal, including the two he had refined himself.

Especially the two star official seals he had already refined; he had a feeling of being able to command them like his own arms.

This made Xu Jin greatly surprised.

This thing should have other wonderful uses; he had to study it carefully.

After collecting and refining all the seals, Xu Jin looked at the most familiar one among those dozen or so clusters of authority over the heavens and earth.

The authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent.

The Baidou Sect Leader, Sima Qu, actually possessed one percent of the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent.

But what surprised Xu Jin was another portion of authority over the heavens and earth that reached one and a half percent.

The rank of this one and a half percent of authority over the heavens and earth was quite high; it was the authority over the heavens and earth of a Middle World.

A Middle World?

This caused Xu Jin's heart to jump violently.

Thinking of Sima Qu's identity and background.

Could this one and a half percent of authority over the heavens and earth be the authority over the heavens and earth of the Kunling Domain?

In an instant, Xu Jin thought of many things.
