Chapter 655: The Little Bai Hu

Inside the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar, golden light flashed wildly, and vast, sea-like pressure dissipated through the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar toward the interior of the Golden Pillar Holy Palace, which Xu Jin sensed in an instant.

Xu Jin, who had just pulled out the Sumeru space of the King of the Eight Desolates, Envoy Ju Zhang, was directly given a huge fright.

He hoped there wouldn't be a terrifying Tenth-Tier or Eleventh-Tier existence descending along with this thing.

The moment Xu Jin channeled his Cold Ice Wood Thunder Armor to the limit, the Nine Heavens Thunder Duke Seal floating above his head merely flickered, and thunder light blasted wildly at the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar.

At the same time, Xu Jin took a step, and starlight swayed down from his natal star in the firmament, gathering into a sword. As he channeled his high-grade Seven-Kill Sword Heart, the sword light flickered and flickered, as if it were the life fluctuation of all things in heaven and earth.

The Killing Sha Sha Xing Jian was formed.

But Xu Jin's Killing Sha Sha Xing Jian did not slash out; it was merely poised and ready.

The Mingji Star Pattern surged toward the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar like a tide, checking the situation inside.

Outside the gate of the Golden Pillar Holy Palace, roars and shouts of killing came.

Xu Jin had infiltrated.

The commotion caused by the previous thunder light had directly detonated the entire Eight Desolates Royal City.

Although the news of the King of the Eight Desolates, Envoy Ju Zhang's, death in battle had been transmitted back from the front line, most of those who witnessed it with their own eyes had been beheaded, and the generals of the Eight Desolates Wang Ting were still trying their best to suppress it.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the Eight Desolates Wang Ting was very tense and oppressive, but it hadn't fallen into chaos yet.

At this very moment, there was an abnormality in the Golden Pillar Holy Palace, and immediately, a large number of elites rushed over to kill.

Xu Jin, however, did not even look back; with a slight movement of his mind, the little white tiger instantly turned into a snowy-white phantom and pounced out.

The little white tiger's cultivation had reached the peak of Eighth-Tier mid-stage, one step away from Eighth-Tier late-stage, but in terms of combat power, as long as it wasn't countered, it could fight even at Eighth-Tier peak-stage.

And within the entire Eight Desolates Wang Ting, let alone Eighth-Tier peak-stage, there wasn't even an Eighth-Tier late-stage expert left; even Eighth-Tier experts were merely a few.

Xu Jin didn't need to worry at all.

The little white tiger blocked the aliens rushing toward the Golden Pillar Holy Palace for Xu Jin, while Xu Jin cautiously sensed the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar.

Under one thunder, the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar's brilliance flickered and died, and the terrifying fluctuations that had just rippled out also dissipated in an instant.

Xu Jin instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out it had only transmitted a little fluctuation; it was all show and no substance, just trying to scare people!

Suddenly, the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar's brilliance rose again, and that vast, sea-like fluctuation probed down once more, and at the same time, a voice rang out.

【Seven-Kill successor, you killed my son...】

Boom!

The Killing Sha Sha Xing Jian, which had long been prepared, blasted out. Starlight rippled, and the interior of the entire Golden Pillar Holy Palace exploded with star light. The vast, sea-like fluctuation that had just surged over dissipated in an instant.

Although the voice that had just rung out only sounded halfway, Xu Jin still heard it clearly.

Son?

In that case, the one the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar had contacted was Envoy Ju Zhang's father, that legendary Eleventh-Tier Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo?

After several battles, Xu Jin had already understood the intelligence related to Envoy Ju Zhang very clearly.

One breath later, the star light that had exploded inside the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar just calmed down, and that vast, sea-like terrifying aura probed down once again.

Without any hesitation, Xu Jin blasted another round of thunder light at it.

【Bastard...】

Amidst the thunder, Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo's angry voice dissipated in an instant.

Xu Jin, however, frowned.

Looking at the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar that was still flickering with star power fluctuations, he blasted thunder light at it one after another without hesitation.

Walking the world, caution comes first.

This Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar was already strange; according to intelligence, the Xuan Hu and others who descended previously had come down from here. At this moment, the other side had already contacted an Eleventh-Tier Tianyang Zhenjun.

It was better to be careful.

Blast it to collapse!

Xu Jin blasted over a dozen streaks of thunder light in one breath, but what was surprising was that he didn't know what materials this Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar was made of; although it was flickering with thunder light and charred black, the star light fluctuations remained, and not a single fragment fell off.

Just two breaths later, Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo's vast, sea-like fluctuations surged again.

This time, before the voice could be transmitted, Xu Jin blasted it with another round of thunder light.

The next instant, Xu Jin soared into the sky, arriving directly outside the Golden Pillar Holy Palace, outside the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar!

Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower smashed violently toward the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar.

Bang bang bang!

Starlight rippled, and the star power fluctuations when the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower collided with the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar rippled toward all directions like water patterns. Aliens below the Sixth Tier, when swept by this aftermath, all had broken bones and tendons.

But the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar was basically undamaged, let alone blasted to collapse.

Xu Jin frowned.

Merely stopping the attack for two breaths, Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo's vast, sea-like aura surged again.

Xu Jin suddenly realized something, or rather, suddenly reacted.

He was holding a sharp weapon but didn't know it.

The next instant, Xu Jin fully channeled his high-grade Seven-Kill Sword Heart.

In the sky, origin starlight swayed down continuously.

Almost simultaneously, the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar in Xu Jin's perception had turned into a living thing.

A living thing with life fluctuations.

The moment the life fluctuation appeared, its most fragile point was also discovered by Xu Jin.

【Seven-Kill successor, you killed...】

The moment Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo's voice rang out, Xu Jin's Killing Sha Sha Xing Jian followed the most fragile position of the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar's life fluctuation and slashed out with one sword!

Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo's voice, which had just rung out, instantly disappeared.

Boom!

The star light inside the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar was like a river breaking its banks, instantly pouring out.

The next instant, the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar collapsed like a falling tower, and dust soared into the sky.

Tianyang Zhenjun Jin Shuo's vast, sea-like aura also dissipated without a trace at this instant.

With this, the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar was destroyed, and Xu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, the little white tiger, which was holding the golden horn on the head of the Eighth-Tier Golden Pillar alien it had just beheaded and swallowing it, suddenly condensed its gaze and looked at the collapsed Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar.

"Roar!"

A tiger roar rang out, and the little white tiger swallowed that piece of golden horn in one gulp, turned into a snowy-white streak of light, and pounced into the dust of the collapsed Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar.

Almost at the same instant, Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern also made a discovery.

It was the very core of the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar, only a soybean-sized cluster of snowy-white light, but it was overflowing with baleful energy, feeling even more terrifying than the acquired Geng Metal baleful energy Xu Jin had seen, incomparably fierce.

Xu Jin naturally knew it was a treasure, and absolutely a supreme treasure.

He used star power to imprison it at the first opportunity.

But the moment the star power approached, it was poked full of holes by that baleful energy and dissipated directly.

"What is this?"

Just as Xu Jin was surprised, the little white tiger pounced violently, its aura rising to the limit in this instant, and the incomparably rich acquired Geng Metal baleful energy within its body surged out, only then barely managing to contain that soybean-sized cluster of baleful energy. Then the little white tiger let out a low roar at Xu Jin.

The meaning could not be clearer.

It wanted it!

At the same time, Xu Jin also understood what this thing was.

Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy!

Only Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy could make the little white tiger so nervous and excited.

Moreover, Xu Jin's mind was closely connected to the little white tiger; at this moment, the little cluster of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy at the little white tiger's core was also shining brightly and was exceptionally excited.

But the cluster of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy within the little white tiger's body was only the size of a millet grain—just three wisps of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy.

Among them, only one wisp was the little white tiger's own innate one; the other two wisps were collected from the depths of the Star River by True Person Youyu over two months when it broke through on the Star River Isolated Island, which had caused the little white tiger's origin to expand manifold, only then having its current breakthrough and combat power.

But now, the quantity of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy inside the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar was ten times the size of the little white tiger's own.

This quantity?

"You absorb it."

Xu Jin gave the order to the little white tiger through his mind.

What was the little white tiger's was Xu Jin's.

If he needed it later, he could let the little white tiger split a portion out.

Moreover, in the current situation, it was very convenient for the little white tiger to swallow this Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy; it would be very troublesome for Xu Jin to try to contain it.

His Golden Rhyme Pearl was currently fine for containing acquired Geng Metal baleful energy, but innate Geng Metal baleful energy would probably be very strenuous.

Having obtained Xu Jin's permission, the little white tiger was incomparably happy; with a tiger roar, it immediately swallowed the entire soybean-sized cluster of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy.

Being swallowed by the little white tiger, Xu Jin finally figured out the quantity.

Ten times—it was truly ten times the Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy the little white tiger possessed, and even more.

A full thirty-two wisps of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy entered its body, causing the little white tiger's origin to begin to expand manifold.

As its aura surged violently, the little white tiger's aura, which had been stuck at the peak of Eighth-Tier mid-stage, began to transform directly.

In an instant, it rose to Eighth-Tier late-stage.

After its cultivation aura rose to Eighth-Tier late-stage, it was still rising rapidly, but the little white tiger's massive body was shrinking rapidly.

The next instant, the little white tiger pounced violently, directly swallowing all the golden horns on the foreheads of the Golden Pillar aliens it had just beheaded, whether they were Eighth-Tier or Seventh-Tier, and its aura began to rise again.

Seeing this, Xu Jin began to check the Sumeru space of the King of the Eight Desolates, Envoy Ju Zhang, which he had just pulled out.

As for the Eight Desolates aliens, there had originally been some die-hards, but with the collapse of the Heaven-Connecting Golden Pillar, their morale had completely collapsed.

Within the Eight Desolates Wang Ting, at this moment, besides some old and weak, there weren't many aliens left.

When Xu Jin found the Seven-Kill Iron Wood Sword from the Sumeru space of the King of the Eight Desolates, Envoy Ju Zhang, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The token of the Seven-Kill Tianyang Zhenjun had finally been found back and hadn't been put in some messy place by Envoy Ju Zhang.

Although it was of little help to Xu Jin at present.

But Xu Jin was still extremely interested in the Seven-Kill Tianyang Zhenjun's Seven-Kill Sword Art.

The inheritance obtained from the Seven-Kill Tianyang Zhenjun, whether it was the Seven-Kill Escape Dragon Stake, the Seven-Kill Sword Heart, the Killing Star Art, or the Seven-Kill Sword Art—each of these was a supreme art that transcended this world.

Especially the Seven-Kill Sword Heart.

And for the Seven-Kill Sword Art, Xu Jin had only learned four swords.

Xu Jin still wanted to learn the remaining three swords.

Envoy Ju Zhang's Sumeru space had quite a few other harvests as well.

But there was nothing too eye-catching.

There were two Seventh-Tier primordial spirit-type spirit medicines and two Seventh-Tier star power spirit medicines; besides that, there were three Eighth-Tier Clean Pearls and fifteen Seventh-Tier Clean Pearls, which could be used to improve cultivation later.

There were also some precious material parts from the aliens; Xu Jin scanned them roughly, and they could also be exchanged for quite a few Thousand Star Token points.

One or two thousand was certain.

With the harvest from the Baidou Sect Leader and others before, these were very ordinary.

The next instant, Xu Jin took out the Eight Desolates Golden Seal he had imprisoned previously; inside this was the biggest gain from beheading the King of the Eight Desolates, Envoy Ju Zhang.

The moment his divine sense surged in, Xu Jin sensed the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent.

A full three and a half to nearly four percent of the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent.

This made Xu Jin overjoyed.

This was what he wanted.

With his divine sense sank in, Xu Jin began to refine the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent rapidly.

While refining the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent, Xu Jin sensed that the one and a half percent of the Kunling Domain's authority over the heavens and earth had unusual movement.

This made Xu Jin somewhat surprised.

What connection did the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent have with the authority over the heavens and earth of the Kunling Domain?

Refining three and a half percent of the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent was still quite time-consuming.

Xu Jin spent a full hour to finish refining it, and the Xuan Hu Army led by Ning Yuchan also arrived at the Eight Desolates Wang Ting and had already begun to take over the Eight Desolates Wang Ting.

With this, Xu Jin had already controlled more than sixty percent of the authority over the heavens and earth of the Eight Desolates Continent; the benefits went without saying.

Suddenly, Xu Jin saw the little white tiger looking at the Eight Desolates Golden Seal in his hand with eager eyes.

Having swallowed those thirty-two wisps of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy and a large amount of golden horns, the little white tiger's cultivation aura had already reached the peak of Eighth-Tier late-stage; its strength grew as if it were sitting on a rocket.

This kind of existence that had no physical body but only star power spiritual body—humans could not compare in this aspect.

Looking at the little white tiger's gaze, Xu Jin's divine sense swept over the Eight Desolates Golden Seal, and his gaze instantly paused; inside, there seemed to be a cluster of Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy, as well as a large amount of acquired Geng Metal baleful energy, and the quantity was not small.

The authority inside had already been refined by Xu Jin, so this Eight Desolates Golden Seal was of no use to Xu Jin.

The next instant, Xu Jin tossed it to the little white tiger casually.

"Roar!"

The little white tiger roared excitedly and swallowed the Eight Desolates Golden Seal in one gulp; its cultivation aura actually rose shockingly again, directly beginning to rise toward the Eighth-Tier peak-stage.

The Innate Geng Metal Baleful Energy within its body increased greatly again, directly reaching fifty wisps.

Xu Jin smiled; this could also be considered this little fellow's opportunity.

The next instant, a star-light message came from the Mandarin Duck Seal; after just one glance, Xu Jin's expression instantly became cold and stern.

The elites of the Tianyang Star Palace were moving!
