Chapter 658

The Eight Desolations Continent.

No, to be precise, it should be above the now completely fused Kunling Domain and Star River Battlefield. Xu Jin, having finished refining the heaven and earth authority, quietly observed all the gains from this trip through introspection.

Observing the great upheaval of the fusion of heaven and earth and comprehending the most fundamental changes between heaven and earth—these were all intangible and priceless gains.

The first of the tangible gains was naturally the current heaven and earth authority of the Kunling Domain.

After the heaven and earth authority of the Eight Desolations Continent that Xu Jin had brought back—which was just over sixty percent—fused with the fifteen percent of heaven and earth authority obtained from Sima Qu, the brand-new Kunling Domain heaven and earth authority obtained was actually only thirty percent, and even a little bit less than thirty percent.

At first, this made Xu Jin extremely surprised.

This was too little.

The heaven and earth authority of the Eight Desolations Continent he brought back was over sixty percent.

But at this moment, under the blessing of the heaven and earth authority, Xu Jin could faintly sense the general situation of the entire Kunling Domain and understood the reason.

The area of the Eight Desolations Continent accounted for less than one-third of the Kunling Domain, and its population was not even five percent.

Heaven and earth authority is related to all of these.

It is very normal for it to become less after fusion.

However, after Xu Jin brought back the heaven and earth authority of the Eight Desolations Continent, the heaven and earth of the Kunling Domain directly rewarded Xu Jin with ten percent of the heaven and earth authority.

In this way, the Kunling Domain heaven and earth authority controlled by Xu Jin reached nearly forty percent.

Forty percent of the heaven and earth authority of a medium world is truly extraordinary.

Whether it was the inheritance of the Qisha True Person or the previous instructions of the Fenghua Emperor, under normal circumstances, the limit for obtaining heaven and earth authority in a medium world is fifty percent.

Especially for those that are not one's natal star; if one can obtain more than fifty percent, that is another kind of fortune.

As for what kind of fortune, the Fenghua Emperor did not say much.

Xu Jin was now somewhat expectant.

Because according to the current situation, Xu Jin had already obtained nearly forty percent of the heaven and earth authority.

And in the present world, the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun, Cangming Tianyang Xingjun, and Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun all controlled about fifteen percent of the Kunling Domain's heaven and earth authority.

Of course, this share was before the fusion of heaven and earth; after the fusion, the Kunling Domain heaven and earth authority they controlled would also decrease proportionally.

But the sum of the three of them was at least over twenty percent.

If Xu Jin were to take back the heaven and earth authority in the hands of these three, the cumulative Kunling Domain heaven and earth authority obtained would exceed sixty percent.

At that time, he would have to ask his master, the Fenghua Emperor, what that other kind of fortune was.

Besides the heaven and earth authority, another very valuable gain was the growth of the Law stars.

When harvesting the heaven and earth authority of the Eight Desolations Continent, the Law power attached to the heaven and earth authority Xu Jin harvested was very little, mainly because many Law powers were repetitive, though the Metal Law star did grow quite a bit.

But during the process of the fusion of heaven and earth, Xu Jin harvested quite a bit of Law power while observing and comprehending.

Especially the Law power brought by the ten percent of heaven and earth authority rewarded by heaven and earth—it was all exactly what Xu Jin needed.

Most of it was Metal and Lightning, with others accounting for only a small minority.

It can only be said that this star will is still very mysterious, or rather, it was an action almost like an instinct that brought Xu Jin great benefits.

With this growth, the power of the Metal and Lightning Law stars in Xu Jin's Arena of Battle, which had not yet transformed into Source stars, also made significant progress.

Especially the Metal type, which had already reached its limit; next, Xu Jin only needed to exchange for Metal Spirit from the Thousand Star Token to transform it.

However, the Lightning type was still a bit short of transforming into a Source star.

As for the Space type, it was still far off.

Sinking his divine sense into the jade tablet of the Arena of Battle to take a look, the Space Law star was even more pitifully weak.

【Fire Source: First Tier (3)】 【Earth Source: First Tier (5)】

【Water Source: First Tier (2)】 【Wind Source: First Tier (2)】

【Wood Source: First Tier (2)】 【Metal Law: Ninth Tier (99)】

【Lightning Law: Ninth Tier (91)】 【Space Law: First Tier (6)】

For the next period of time, the main objects of Xu Jin's collection would be the Lightning and Space Law stars.

These two powers could be considered Xu Jin's main combat powers.

Moreover, Xu Jin had already seen while observing the great upheaval of heaven and earth that the ninth Law star required an extremely powerful Space Law star for support.

And the ninth Law star was very likely to be Time.

The next instant, Xu Jin withdrew his divine sense and then sank it into the Sumeru space.

From the completion of the fusion of heaven and earth until now, Xu Jin had only refined one portion of the heaven and earth authority rewarded by heaven and earth, which was only two quarter-hours of time.

But the starlight on Xu Jin's Mandarin Duck Seal and Thousand Star Token had already been flashing like crazy.

Previously, during the great upheaval and fusion of heaven and earth, all kinds of communication methods had completely failed.

Whether it was the starlight communication of the Star-Plucking Tower, the Eight Desolations Gold Order, or the Mandarin Duck Seal and Thousand Star Token, none could transmit messages.

This point also gave Xu Jin an inspiration: no matter what kind of communication method, there is a possibility of being restricted.

At this very moment, heaven and earth returned to normal, and the messages sent to Xu Jin were like a fountain.

There were messages from the Grand Master, Ning Yuchan, Peng Lao, Qi Shanye and Mo Ji, Ji Hongli, the Wood Spirit Palace Master, Ying Ge and others, and even Hou Yunzhang from within the Qisha Star Region.

There were too many.

But this also made Xu Jin very surprised. Could it be that those star regions were also affected by this great upheaval and fusion of heaven and earth?

Xu Jin discovered that replying to messages had also become a manual labor.

He missed the group messaging function of his previous life a little.

Most of the messages were concerned about Xu Jin and worried about his safety.

After all, such an astonishing change in heaven and earth could not have been produced out of thin air, nor could it have been caused by ordinary people.

For example, top existences deeply involved in the war situation like Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao and Ning Yuchan naturally associated it with Xu Jin.

This exchange took a full half-hour to process, and Xu Jin also felt much more at ease.

Although heaven and earth had undergone a great upheaval, this excellent situation was basically unaffected.

The elites of the human race in the present world were frightened by this celestial phenomenon, but the defeated Eight Desolations alien races were even more terrified by it.

Each and every one of them thought it was a divine punishment after their defeat.

Many surrendered, which reduced many casualties for the human race of the present world.

It also made the Great Chen's reception of the fruits of victory exceptionally smooth.

Moreover, the preliminary intelligence on the great upheaval of the fusion of heaven and earth had already spread.

【Grand Master, this is a great upheaval unseen in a thousand years. The future of Great Chen is entrusted to you!】 Xu Jin transmitted his voice directly.

【No, what I mean is, when do you plan to come and be the new Grand Master of Great Chen? I can guarantee that if you take the position of Grand Master with this merit, no one in Great Chen will be able to shake your status within a hundred years. You will definitely be the most influential Grand Master of Great Chen in a thousand years, and with this merit and prestige, shrines can even be built for you all over Great Chen in the future!】

How could Xu Jin not hear the meaning of Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao? As a smile flashed in his eyes, he replied: 【Grand Master, you have worked so hard and exhausted yourself for Great Chen; it is time for you to reap the rewards. As for me, forget it. As for the position of Grand Master, wait until things are stable in the future; you should invite someone else more capable.】

After replying to this message, Xu Jin was happy.

Just kidding, he would never be a high-level workhorse like a Grand Master.

It was better for Cheng Yuexiao to work a little harder.

In the distance, Cheng Yuexiao, who had not slept for four days and four nights and had just finished completely managing and organizing the White Tiger Star City, rubbed his bloodshot eyes with a bitter smile on his face.

This kid Xu Jin used to be a bit more tactful, but this time he had completely rejected him!

Thinking about the final takeover and organization work of the Eight Desolations Royal Court, Blood Yuncheng, Blood Moon City, and other major Eight Desolations cities, as well as the regional division, immigration, and land reclamation after the Eight Desolations Continent and Star River Battlefield were completely integrated into the present world...

Countless tasks were still waiting for him, and Cheng Yuexiao's face was full of bitter smiles.

When will this life ever end?

After replying to all the starlight messages, Xu Jin suddenly remembered the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun. He remembered his purpose for returning to the Star River Battlefield earlier.

It was to slay this scoundrel, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun.

During the previous great upheaval of heaven and earth, firstly, opportunities were hard to come by, and secondly, with the great upheaval, no senses were of any use.

"I wonder if this scoundrel, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, has left? I hope he is greedy enough."

The next instant, Xu Jin instantly channeled the nearly forty percent of the Kunling Domain's heaven and earth authority and then activated the Mingji Star Pattern to sense.

As Xu Jin expected, with less than forty percent of the heaven and earth authority, he still could not use his divine sense to sense the entire Kunling Domain.

The current Kunling Domain was too big.

However, Xu Jin's sensing range still reached a radius of forty thousand li, covering less than one-fifth of the Kunling Domain.

This is the benefit of heaven and earth authority.

Beyond a radius of forty thousand li, there was no sign of any Ninth Tier expert.

"Could the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun have sneaked into the original Eight Desolations Continent to snatch the fruits of victory?"

The next instant, Xu Jin channeled the heaven and earth authority and then instantly launched a space shift.

The distance was not too far; Xu Jin's basic shift distance was two thousand two hundred li, plus the forty percent blessing, so one shift was just over three thousand li.

The next instant, Xu Jin took another step.

But this time, Xu Jin channeled the blessing of the Space Law star in the Arena of Battle.

Although the Space Law star was extremely weak, Xu Jin still wanted to try its blessing power.

Theoretically, under its blessing, the increase in Xu Jin's space shift distance would not exceed ten percent.

But the next moment, Xu Jin's expression was slightly startled.

The blessing from that super-weak Space Law star was a bit large—twenty percent!

The shift distance reached three thousand six hundred li.

After a few shifts, Xu Jin discovered the mystery.

It was not that the Space Law star was different, but that after comprehending the evolution of heaven and earth this time, the internal connections of the Law stars in his Arena of Battle had completely changed.

Previously, each Source Law star was independent.

But now, they were integrated into a whole through thousands of internal connections.

While channeling the Space Law star, the power of other Source Law stars would also be channeled simultaneously and then amplified onto the Space Law star.

The effect manifested was twenty percent.

This was still because the Space Law star was very weak.

Channeling other Source Law stars, the amplification was very considerable, with the least being thirty to forty percent and the most being sixty to seventy percent.

It was just that this change was very complex.

Xu Jin had not yet found the pattern.

However, this did not hinder the improvement of Xu Jin's strength.

Speaking of which, this was another huge gain for Xu Jin after observing the great upheaval of heaven and earth.

Because just by the mutual blessing of the Source Law stars in the Arena of Battle, Xu Jin's star technique power had increased by another thirty to forty percent, equivalent to his personal combat power increasing by another thirty to forty percent.

This increase was large enough.

Very quickly, Xu Jin shifted to the center of the original Eight Desolations Continent and channeled the heaven and earth authority to sense again, still finding no trace of the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun.

Xu Jin frowned slightly.

This shouldn't be possible, right?

During the previous great upheaval of heaven and earth, the star power was incomparably chaotic, and the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun happened to be near the Eight Desolations front line, where the starlight was incomparably chaotic.

Under such circumstances, even someone as strong as the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun could not use star power to fly at high speed; to leave, he could only rely on walking.

Walking from the Star River Battlefield back to the present world, let alone two or three days, even a month was unlikely.

At this very moment, most of the territory of the Eight Desolations Continent was also gone.

Where did this scoundrel go?

The next instant, Xu Jin prepared to change places to search for the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun's tracks again.

This old scoundrel, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, might be hiding in some corner.

Just as he was about to space shift, Xu Jin suddenly discovered something unusual.

The aura of the Ninth Tier experts was wrong.

In the central area of the Eight Desolations Continent, with him as the center, a radius of forty thousand li almost covered most of the cities of the Eight Desolations Continent and also covered all the elite troops of the major Star Halls.

Theoretically, all the Ninth Tier experts who had previously attacked the Eight Desolations Continent should have been sensed by him.

But now, Xu Jin only sensed the auras of the two Ninth Tier experts, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao and the Wood Spirit Palace Master.

The auras of the two Ninth Tier experts, the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun and the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun, could not be sensed at all.

If one of these two could not be sensed, it would be normal, as they could be in a remote corner.

But both could not be sensed at the same time, coupled with the mysterious disappearance of the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, this was a bit unusual.

Suddenly, starlight flashed on a Mandarin Duck Seal; it was a message from the Wood Spirit Palace.

After just one glance, Xu Jin's expression became grim.

It was Zhang Fei, the Vice Palace Master of the Sumeru Palace, who had sent a distress signal to the Wood Spirit Palace Master, saying that the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun had taken advantage of the Sumeru Palace Master's death in battle to unite with an internal traitor and sneak into the Sumeru Palace to forcibly seize the Sumeru Palace's inheritance.

And he had been cultivating in the Sumeru Secret Realm, only mysteriously leaving a few days ago.

After confirming that the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun had left, Zhang Fei, the Vice Palace Master of the Sumeru Palace, then sought help from the Wood Spirit Palace Master through a special method.

He hoped that the Wood Spirit Palace Master could ask Xu Jin to help their Sumeru Palace before the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun returned again.

In the eyes of everyone in the Sumeru Palace, only the Domain-Suppressing Prince Xu Jin could deal with the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun in the whole world now.

【Master, Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei of the Sumeru Palace said that if you are willing to help them, all the inheritance of the Sumeru Palace is yours to choose, and they are willing to obey your orders.】 The Wood Spirit Palace Master sent the message.

【Hmm, you send them a message and say that the Sumeru Palace Master died in battle for the human race of the present world, but the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun caused harm afterward; he is truly worse than a pig or a dog!

I have taken on this matter and will definitely help them deal with the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, and I don't want any reward!】 Xu Jin replied.

【Master, that is the Space...】

【Just say what I told you.】

【Alright, then I will agree on behalf of Master.】

Although Xu Jin really needed the Space Image Star Pattern, the Sumeru Palace Master had indeed died in battle for the human race of the present world.

The next instant, Xu Jin continued to channel the heaven and earth authority and used the Mingji Star Pattern to sense and search.

He could not sense the auras of any of the three major Star Lords, especially at this critical moment; this was definitely strange.

Xu Jin kept space shifting, constantly searching and sensing.

He had turned over most of the Eight Desolations Continent but had no gains.

Just as Xu Jin wanted to return to the present world to search, he suddenly discovered an anomaly.

The Star-Plucking Tower!

Ten thousand li east of Blood Yuncheng on the Eight Desolations Continent, he did not know when an extra Star-Plucking Tower had appeared!

The aura of this Star-Plucking Tower was extremely obscure; if one did not sense it carefully, one would not be able to discover it even by looking down.

There is a problem!

There is definitely a problem.

The next moment, Xu Jin sneaked over cautiously.
