Chapter 744: The Oriole and the Slingshot

The iridescent chaotic color of the Millennium Lei Tong in his sensing made Xu Jin's heart beat faster for a moment.

His master, Emperor Fenghua, had mentioned chaotic primordial materials to Xu Jin.

He hadn't said much.

Only that chaotic primordial materials were hard to encounter in a thousand years; let alone Minor Star Lords or True Lords, even existences at the Emperor level had seen very few, and possessed even fewer.

Once they appeared, they were highly likely to trigger a bloodbath.

There were two major differences between chaotic primordial materials and innate treasures.

First, they were almost limitless; as long as a natal spirit treasure forged with chaotic primordial material as the main material was cultivated and improved step by step, it would inevitably grow into an Emperor Weapon in the future.

And a top-tier Emperor Weapon at that.

If a natal spirit treasure was forged from an innate treasure, it could indeed grow into an Emperor Weapon with certainty, but it still required the assistance of many materials and had certain requirements for the owner themselves.

Second, the chaotic characteristic.

Emperor Fenghua did not say what the chaotic characteristic was.

But Xu Jin understood that it would absolutely not be bad.

Look at his Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower; it was originally just a top-tier Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, but after absorbing the chaotic origin of the Galaxy Lonely Island, it was immediately different, with astonishing strength comparable to a Suppressing Tool.

Later, after becoming semi-chaotic, its power was even more astonishing.

Now it could directly withstand several chaotic thunder essences and possessed powerful self-repair capabilities; this ability should have been brought by the chaotic origin of the Galaxy Lonely Island.

The cracks previously split by several chaotic thunder essences had almost recovered after just one day.

One had to know that the chaotic thunder essence at that location was the kind that could blast an Imperial Tianyang Xingjun to death.

"I must get my hands on this thing, and I must keep it extremely secret."

While pondering, Xu Jin glanced slightly at the position of the Imperial Tianyang Xingjun in his sensing and had already made a decision.

Since he had to get it and keep it secret...

Then he would have to eliminate this Imperial Tianyang Xingjun at the first opportunity.

Although compared to when he was in the Xiazhu Star Domain, Xu Jin's combat power had soared significantly again.

Especially the power of the eight-star-in-one chaotic killing move, which had more than doubled.

But the person before him was, after all, an Imperial Tianyang Xingjun, so he had to plan carefully.

Also, he had to work hard on the Heaven and Earth Authority.

If the Heaven and Earth Authority of this Lei Gang Star Domain was used well, it would also be a major killing move.

Currently, Xu Jin continued to urge his high-tier Seven Kill Sword Heart and continued to kill stars.

And that Imperial Tianyang Xingjun just kept staring at Xu Jin like this, not disturbing him, just staring.

This made Xu Jin somewhat surprised.

"Just staring at me without disturbing me? What is he trying to do? Is it purely to monitor me, or to protect that Millennium Lei Tong?

If he were calling for reinforcements, they should have arrived long ago!" Xu Jin was very puzzled.

However, for Xu Jin, as long as the opponent didn't disturb him, he would focus his mind on killing stars.

The more Heaven and Earth Authority of the Lei Gang Star Domain he obtained, the greater his advantage.

The way the Star-Killing Technique obtained Heaven and Earth Authority was a bit like a relationship between a man and a woman; as long as the first layer of intimacy was broken, the bottom line would become less and less, and it would be broken through faster and faster.

An hour later, the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Lei Gang Star Domain that Xu Jin mastered reached eighty percent.

This was a limit within a short period of time.

For a small world star domain, as long as one continued to perform the Star-Killing Technique, one could eventually obtain one hundred percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority.

But for the last twenty percent, the time invested would increase exponentially.

From zero to seventy percent, Xu Jin had used most of a day; from seventy to eighty percent, he had only used one hour; from eighty to ninety percent, he would need at least another day.

And from ninety to one hundred percent, it might take several days.

Three to five days at the least, ten days to half a month at the most.

Because one hundred percent Heaven and Earth Authority meant complete mastery; this Heaven and Earth would no longer have a shred of secrets or dignity before Xu Jin!

Naturally, it was difficult.

However, eighty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority was enough.

But Xu Jin did not rush to act; instead, he silently urged the Heaven and Earth Authority, using his divine sense to act as the master of the Heaven and Earth Authority, and then attempted to control the dense, rain-like thunder in the Thunder Valley.

It was a very strange feeling.

He could only control a portion; for the other portion, he could only exert a slight influence.

Very quickly, Xu Jin discovered the clue.

What was controlled by his Heaven and Earth Authority were those ordinary thunders; this was a natural phenomenon.

What was not under his control, and could only be slightly influenced, were those thunders that had been stained with chaotic aura.

The thicker the chaotic aura of the thunder, the less it was controlled or influenced by him.

But no matter how thick the chaotic aura was, it would still be influenced by the Heaven and Earth Authority to some extent.

Xu Jin had already fully figured out the reason.

This dense, rain-like thunder falling from the sky was a characteristic of the Lei Gang Star Domain itself, but because of the incompleteness of the Heaven and Earth, chaotic aura leaked into the Lei Gang Star Domain from the galaxy and then stained those thunder essences, becoming chaotic thunder essence.

But the core was still the thunder of this Heaven and Earth, so it was inevitably influenced.

Xu Jin highly suspected that the formation of this chaotic primordial material was related to the chaotic aura leaking in from this incomplete Heaven and Earth.

"This bit of influence from the Heaven and Earth Authority is enough to win me the opportunity to harvest that chaotic primordial material."

As Xu Jin's divine sense moved, he began to plan the next course of action.

He re-confirmed the position of that mysterious Imperial Tianyang Xingjun.

Originally, his divine sense sensing would have been discovered by this person, but Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng was completely unaware of the observation and sensing of the Heaven and Earth Authority.

Being within this Heaven and Earth, everything was fully encompassed by this Heaven and Earth; how could he be aware?

"This Imperial Tianyang Xingjun has always had a divine sense paying attention to my direction, so it's not easy to launch a surprise attack. I'll harvest that Millennium Lei Tong first to distract him, then launch a surprise attack." In just an instant, Xu Jin, who had incomparably rich combat experience, decided on a battle plan.

As for harvesting the Millennium Lei Tong, it was not too difficult for Xu Jin now.

Because he could control and influence the thunder between Heaven and Earth, including slightly influencing those chaotic thunder essences, and the Heaven and Earth Authority knew everything about the changes in this world, he could directly teleport over, without the trouble he had before.

But Xu Jin did not rush to act; instead, he urged his Spirit Platform Star Technique on the spot to begin restoring his soul cultivation.

Continuously killing stars consumed a relatively large amount of soul power.

In the distance, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng divided his divine sense into two, one part watching the mysterious Xu Jin, and the other part watching the Millennium Lei Tong.

Likewise, because of the continuous bombardment of the thunder light filling the sky, he only watched from afar, not daring to extend his divine sense too far.

In his observation, Xu Jin was still the same as before, sitting there, motionless.

Three hours later, Xu Jin's soul cultivation was completely restored to its peak state, and his star power was also restored to its peak state. The moment he opened his eyes, a brilliant starlight flashed past.

"Strange thing, this Imperial Tianyang Xingjun didn't call for reinforcements, nor did he attack me. He shouldn't know my combat power, so why is he just staring at me like this without taking any action?" Xu Jin was very puzzled.

"But this doesn't matter; I'll know soon enough."

The next instant, Xu Jin's mind sank into the Arena of Participation; compared to before, there were some changes on the jade tablet of the Arena of Participation, especially the thunder-element origin star.

The thunder-element origin star was previously 【Thunder-Element Origin: Initial Tier (2)】.

Now that Xu Jin had obtained the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Lei Gang Star Domain, he had also harvested the thunder-element Heaven and Earth Star Will.

What surprised Xu Jin was that four of these eight thunder-element Heaven and Earth Star Wills were ones he had never comprehended before.

Now, the thunder-element origin star on the jade tablet of the Arena of Participation had changed: 【Thunder-Element Origin: Initial Tier (6)】.

This discovery made Xu Jin determine for the first time that the variable unit within the thunder-element origin star was still the Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Then what would be the upper limit of this variable? "I should be able to figure it out in the future!"

While pondering, Xu Jin triggered the Arena of Participation's Space Law Star, and the moment the space fluctuation rose, his whole person disappeared on the spot.

In the distance, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng, who was watching boredly, suddenly felt his expression freeze.

Disappeared!

The mysterious youth he was watching had disappeared.

"Where did he go?"

Ba Chengfeng's tiger eyes were like electricity, sweeping in all directions.

Suddenly, his heart felt a chill again. Ba Chengfeng turned his head abruptly and saw Xu Jin's figure appear above the Millennium Lei Tong.

Extremely close to the Millennium Lei Tong, the distance was no more than five hundred meters.

"He's going to harvest the Millennium Lei Tong. I wonder if he will succeed? Let's wait and see; once he succeeds, I'll notify those waiting colleagues." Ba Chengfeng made a decision in an instant.

Tianyang Zhenjun Tianfa's order to him was to notify his colleagues after this mysterious youth successfully harvested the Millennium Lei Tong, so as to snatch the Millennium Lei Tong with the greatest certainty and then capture this child alive!

At the same instant, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng, who was staring fixedly at the direction of the Thunder Valley, was already prepared to send a message.

Core of the Thunder Valley.

The moment Xu Jin appeared via space teleportation, the Millennium Lei Tong became extremely bright, like a beast whose territory had been violated, and countless thunder lights surrounding it suddenly appeared.

At the same instant, the chaotic thunder essence within a three-li radius was influenced by it and was about to focus its fire on the appearing Xu Jin.

But Xu Jin had long anticipated this point.

The moment he appeared, his Dao Embryo fully urged the Heaven and Earth Authority to forcibly control those thunders.

Even the thunders stained with chaotic aura.

Under the Heaven and Earth Authority, all thunders were influenced.

At this very moment, the Millennium Lei Tong was instinctively ordering these chaotic thunder essences through the chaotic aura within its body.

It was like a struggle for strength, or a competition, which for a time left these chaotic thunder essences at a loss.

This directly caused the Millennium Lei Tong's order to experience a brief stagnation.

Originally, the moment the order was given, these chaotic thunder essences would have blasted down.

But now, they were directly several beats slow!

This was Xu Jin's opportunity.

Almost the moment he appeared via void teleportation, Xu Jin's thunder wings flashed, and he rushed above the Millennium Lei Tong.

Boundless thunder power surged out, instantly turning into thunder tentacles that reached out.

The next instant, these thunder tentacles just trembled, and like pulling a radish, he pulled this Millennium Lei Tong out from the ground, revealing its iridescent chaotic-colored bottom.

In the distance, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng's eyes widened suddenly.

The time had come!

He had to act according to the Tianyang Zhenjun's plan.

【Action!】

【Tianyang Zhenjun, chaotic primordial material, it is chaotic primordial material!】

Seeing Xu Jin succeed, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng immediately sent a starlight message to his colleagues and Tianyang Zhenjun Tianfa.

Then he stared fixedly at Xu Jin in the Thunder Valley!

Ready to strike!

Just seeing Xu Jin's method of teleporting directly to the center of the Thunder Valley, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng was given a huge start.

He directly changed his tactics.

His original tactical plan was: if this mysterious youth successfully harvested the Millennium Lei Tong, he would notify his colleagues and rush up at the first opportunity to snatch it back and claim the first merit!

But just by looking at Xu Jin's teleportation method, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng chose to be cautious!

It wasn't that he was worried about his own safety.

It was that he was afraid this mysterious youth would run away.

The space teleportation star technique was too fierce.

He had to keep a close eye on him.

This was a chaotic primordial material; if it ran away, he would truly be unable to redeem himself even with ten thousand deaths!

Almost the moment he took away the Millennium Lei Tong, the mysterious youth's figure in the center of the Thunder Valley disappeared.

Ba Chengfeng knew this was space teleportation.

Scanning in all directions, Ba Chengfeng was searching for Xu Jin's landing point.

Suddenly, a space fluctuation rose not far in front of him.

Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng's pupils constricted suddenly, his gaze couldn't help but look over, and he saw Xu Jin stepping out from the void.

"He actually came directly to find me; he's really confident enough!" Ba Chengfeng stared at Xu Jin and sneered.

Suddenly, Ba Chengfeng only felt that Xu Jin's eyes were like a vortex; in just an instant, he was deeply trapped within them, triggering the deepest memories and desires in his heart!

Taixu Questioning Platform!

The moment he appeared via void teleportation, Xu Jin launched the Taixu Questioning Platform!

Unsurprisingly, Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng fell for it!

His whole person's expression became sluggish in an instant, and his soul temporarily fell into the Taixu Questioning Platform.

Just as Xu Jin was preparing to find a way to capture this Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng's Dao Embryo alive, Xu Jin's expression changed; in his Heaven and Earth Authority sensing, a temporary star gate had suddenly appeared in this Lei Gang Star Domain.

The moment the temporary star gate appeared, an aura immediately crossed over from the star gate.

A Star-Suppressing Lord!

Xu Jin's pupils constricted suddenly.

It was actually a Star-Suppressing Lord's Dao Embryo controlling artifacts and coming over!

And not just one.

After the first Star-Suppressing Lord entered, the second one entered immediately!

"Quick battle, quick decision!"

The next instant, under the urging of the Heaven and Earth Authority, the thunder appearing in all directions began to gather crazily under Xu Jin's control.

Hundreds and thousands of heavenly thunders that were originally going to blast the ground gathered together in an instant.

After one breath, tens of thousands of heavenly thunders gathered together.

In the distance, the third reinforcement had already stepped out of the star gate; it was a Minor Tianyang Xingjun!

The moment the fourth reinforcement, a Minor Tianyang Xingjun, stepped out of the star gate, Xu Jin's expression turned fierce, and the twenty thousand plus heavenly thunders gathered above his head, along with his own Five Elements Running Thunder Slash and the thunder light triggered by the blessing of the Arena of Participation, blasted down suddenly!

This was the limit that his Dao Embryo and eighty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority could control!

Boom!

Amidst the sound of rolling thunder, the heavenly might was like a prison!

As if it were the end of the world, a thunder light several zhang thick poured down from the firmament, directly pouring onto the head of Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng.

The top-tier Suppressing Tool thunder flag that Ba Chengfeng had wrapped around his whole body instantly shone brightly, actively protecting its master.

But the thunder light just flashed, and this thunder flag turned to ash on the spot.

The moment Ba Chengfeng's natal Suppressing Tool instinctively appeared, the terrifying thunder light directly poured Ba Chengfeng's Dao Embryo into blue smoke.

Ba Chengfeng, who had woken up because the thunder flag was destroyed, had eyes full of despair at this moment!

A thousand li away, the two Star-Suppressing Lords who were rushing here only saw the terrifying thunder light, but because they were too far away, they did not see the annihilation of Ba Chengfeng's Dao Embryo!

The sound of rolling thunder was still exploding in the void, and Imperial Tianyang Yu Xing Jun Ba Chengfeng had already become blue smoke!

Xu Jin had already begun to unhurriedly collect Ba Chengfeng's Sumeru space.

At this moment, Xu Jin already somewhat understood the purpose of this Imperial Tianyang Xingjun.

The oriole!

Wait for him to succeed in taking the treasure, act as the oriole!

That's why the reinforcements didn't come before, but came so quickly now!

Since that was the case, Xu Jin could only act as the slingshot behind!
